It certain- ly was not when a youngster of twelve I took her under my especial care, feeling prouder of my curly-?seeded charge than I could now of a mine of gold; nor when a tall,, awkward boy of sixteen, I first ventured to ask for her company home from church; or still later, when, after four year's absence, 1 returned to my native town and set up as a ,surgeon in the house where Dr. Moore's name had been since my earliest recollection "" Oakdale was a rematkable healthy place, or else the good' people felt a little afraid of trusting their lives in the heeds of such a' young scapegrace as they had known mo to be, for somehow toy horse and gig found more employment in carrying Jessie Hale to 'ride than any more piethable business; and it is certain more ofmy time was spent in Mr. Hale's pleasant parlor, than in , either study or practice of medicine.

'lt is nothing, dear Jessie; 1 would.suffer.a thousand times more to feel that 'I had suited your precious life. 'But oh I am so sorry ! What can be done for you 7 she said, in such touching accents that I half repented. •I 'The end justifier the mea n s , ' thought; The .ends ilecomplished certainly did. My answer was in a voice low and faint, as if I was just dying. ' 'Ouly tell me that you love me, Jessie, dar ling;. it will soothe say pain more than any thing else in the world. And then, like the great simpleton that I was, I nut that Tight arm around her, and never discovered my mistake until she sprang suddenly away from me. 'Wouldn't a little brandy and water do 'as well, 3.1 r. Trematue ?" she said archly.— 'There don't seem to be any bones broken.;' the injory was internal, I should think.' Wouldn't I have Sold myself fora sbspence?

So one morning, after lounging in my study until I was tired of everything—myselg in particular—l went over the way, resolved that the matter should be decided before I returned Jessie was sitting by. tit#..parlor window, busily sewing,• and hatuunnv , some • merry tune to herself when I entered.' She was looking prettier than ever, I thought ; and I found it terrible hard.wOrk to talk on commonplace subjects,- 1 when my mind was• so full of the one so itn• portant to me. At last I broke in upon some of her' care less. nonsense with—'Why in theworld, Jes . - sie, don't you say whether you love me or not ? What is the use of keeping a - fellow in suspence forever? I believe you du—in fact I know you do.' Here I was :wain making a simpleton e4' myself. I might here known she would not have told me after that, but I did not under stand woman kind as well then, as I have done since. 'Oh ! you know, then, do you?' she .said' cooly, with a merry twinkle in her eye. 'Then, of course, there is no need of' my telli4ig you' 'so, I did not mean it Jessie,' I said pen itently. 'But do yon love me? Will you answer me, yes or no? . Will you answer me, yest or nor 'Yes or no,' she answered. demurely. '0 .)es:,ie Hale,' I exclaimed, impatiently, 'you will drive me crazy!' • 'A terrible misfortune, surely,' she said, with a laugh, throwing, down her work and stepping through the low window upon the lawn. 'Now'W ill, L will tell you what I will do if you will promise never to plaugeme a ”ain about this.' will promise anything if - yin. will only give we au honest answer,' 1 said eagerly. 'Well then, if yon can catch me before I reach the elm tree, I will give you a candid answer, uponnry honor.' I thumped my bead against the window sash, and away I•went racing over the green sward with ten times wore eagerness than I ever displayed in playing catch in my boy hood days. A very dignified proceeding tru ly, for a staid surgeon. All the gossips in Oakdale• would have held their hand in pi ous horror had they seen me then; but I did not care if half the world saw we, so intent was I ou catching that flying gipsy; and catch her 1 did, before she was half way to the old elm. 'Now for the answer,' I /mid eagerly. 'Oh! - bat can't you wait until I get breath?' drawing it in quick', spasmodic jerks, like some dilapidated old steam engine. 'Let tne see; what was it I promised to tell you?' 'Whether you love me or not, you pro.vok log tittle wretch!' said, fairly out of pa tience. 'No'w look here, Mr. Will, if you don't leave off calling we names I won't tell you at all, though. perhaps this is love talk is it?— Will, I promised, you say?' euurso you did;'su don't be all day a bout it.' •If you hurry me I can't speak at all for it will take me snnetitue to think Over the ob. jects of my love to see if you are among them.

Termainc is five. I don't think I stopped to thank hailer that answer; and if my return to the parlOr was not as rapid as my exit from it, it was certainly far wore dignified. I had taken my hat and was out of the gate before Jes sie reached the house. I went home in .no enviable state of mind, resolving that I would never go near her again. But by the, time I reached my study my anger had cooled con siderably, and I.sat down iu my arm chair and began to think of any plan just as 1 had thine a hundred times before, how I could outwit this provoking little elf.

Jessie, I ain in earnest, now. It is probable I shall not see you 'a gain for years; for if .1 like the place I shall remain. there. She still, befieved it some trick, for her eyes said plainly 'you can't cheat me again' Andshe said geed-bye as cooly as if it were only-For a day. I went down the walk, feel ing much as I • think' Adam must have felt when he left Paradise, except that his Eve went with him end I left mine behind. I was well 'pleased with the place, and was mot long in accepting my uncle's pro posal. I wrote to this effect to a lawyer, desiring him to dispOse of my pmperty at Oakeiare. I knovi Jessie would hear of it, and it would give her to understand that I had no intention of returning, determined that if I did not succeed this time, I would igive-her:up forever, though my heart gave a quick throb of pain at. the thought. . It was just at twilight, of a pleasant Sep tember day, when I reached Oakdale. Di rect to Mr. Ijale's I took my , way, saying o ver to myself ae I went, 'Now or never r Straight up to the gravel walk and across the broad laws I went, and on into the dusty parlor, unannounced. By the light, I saw Jessie sitting on a sofa,. her bead resting on a pillow. She was alone and had not heard .my steps Was she — asleep? — A - quiek - sob answered me. That augurs well for my suc cess. In a moment 1 was kneeling beside her, and had raised the bowed head. 'Jessie ! dear Jessie !' I said tenderly, scarcely knowing _how elm would receive it. With a quick start and a glad cry of surprise ber head was pillowed en my bosom. 'Oh, I am so glad, to, see you, Will! They told me you would not return, and I have been so lonely without you.' . 'And I have been so. lonely, too,. Jessie, darling,' I said. 'My Some anywhere would always be lonely, without you. Will you not go and share it withine ?'

But on the subject of submission to the 'authority of civil government it expresses It self with remarkable clearness and emphasis. " abet* yourselves to-everywdina7Wprmaii for the Lord's sake." "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers." " Whosoever tesisteth the' power, retisteth the ordinance of God ; * * fur he is the nttni.qter of God a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth cut." For this cause pay ye also trib ute, &c." And when the crafty Pharisees sought to entrap our _Saviour into a denial of his allegiance, how *HMI, he parried their efforts by inculcating the duty of rendering tribute to Cmsarl There is no duty more plainly or repeatedly taught in Holy • Writ than that of obedience to the civil authority.

I think I accomplished more in that half hour than I ever did in twice that length of time before or since; for at its expiration I was supremely happy. And the result was that in a week I got the prettiest, best little wile in England; and what is better still, I think so now, even though she did say, ten minutes after the ceremony, 'I never told you 1 loved you, Will !' And alie never has, to this d►y. Queer Case and Bad Fix. Undoubtedly in wa.rs such US we now have on hand many more such cases as the follow ing occur than we hear . of. The Altoona (Pa.) Tribune of the Bth, says: "It appears that with. one of the compel ales organized in this place, (for the nine months' service,) in the summer of 1802. went a man who left a wife and small family. On the broody field pi. Antietam he fell, was buried, and his wife dtAtwards had his body disinterred and broug'W . chic,`.and re-inter red in the soldiers' lot id' the eetnetiy. A year afterwards she married again; and in cue time a child 'Was born, the fruit of the second marriage. IVhen the call for 500, 000 troops Was being filled up, last fall; the second husband enlisted and is now in the I army. A short time since, the first husband returned, alive and Well; hiving been taken prisoner at Antietam instead orbeing killed. He had been held by the'rebels until the late exchange' at Savannah. Of course the par ties are in a queer fix; but all will agree _that the soldier who mstronce killed, twice buried,' starved two leers; irs o rebel prisons, and yet came home ulive,V:certainly entitled to hie wife 'Truth is stranger than fiction.' The query is, 'who was buried in the' ceinetry?' CLEANLINESS ABOUT TIME Housz.—As a general rule fbr living_neatly and saving time, it is better to keep clean than to make clean. If you are careful not to drop erns of bread or cake on the carpet, you wiH es cape an untidy robin, and save 'the trouble of Omitting it.

It 'would not have been possible for 'Christ and' , his apostles to• enu merate all the various relationi Of man, and assign its particular laws. to eadh. 'What was needed was some general axioms einbod: ying the principles of moral truth, from which might be drawn a. rule Suitable to ev ery case. ' But_ while it is thus general respecting the great majority of human actions and conditions, it has not omitted certain specific rules intended for our guidance in regard to some of the greaser and more common vices of our nature. It has uttered its Voice dis tinetly in referenee - to — obr appetites and af fections., It has denounced a Clime upou drunkenness, fornication, profanity, idola try; filial impiety, covetousness, &c..

It is his duty to preach truth when it is needed,not when it is convenient or least likely to excite attention or "arouse passion or prejudice. -If his hearers don't like it,, it only proves 'their. need of it, and if their indignation at a Minister of the Word, when he utters subparts of it as are dis tasteful to them, is suffered to drive out of their minds all reverence for sacred truth, the church is not injured, brit rather bone ke when they quitUs fold. When a min ist ( utters nothing. but What .is agreeable to is hearers, he gives the best evidence of hisunfitness or thosacred poeitionho holds The verities of the Bible with its injunctions and denunciations were never popular; and that minister deceives himself and degrades his cailitig, who sugar-coats them or de prives Warn a one jot of their point,•pr force.
