STRANGELY RE-UNITED.
IWAH gtatlonetl a Agra during Hie
Cabu disaster In 1841, one of a mere
liPiidful of Brltluli troopB, left In charge
of the wives, sisters sntl daughters of
the actors In that most unhappy expe
dition. And a weary heart-breaking
time It was. The Lieutenant Governor,
who had prayed and besought the Cal
cutta authorities not to risk the adven
ture had the worst forebodings for its
fate ; and although he did all an able,
kindly and well mannered man could do
to maintain the spirits of the circle,
those who knew hliu could read too well
what his fears were. Words could not
describe Indeed It is painful for me
even now to recall the dreary wretch
edness of that futal month.durlng which
no tidings came of the devoted army.
Evening after evening saw the roads
crowded by anxious women, sitting
there for hours that they might hear the
first news of those who were dear to
them, and evening after evening saw
them return In despair. And when at
Inst the news came that the sole survi
vor had staggered, half alive, back to. his
countrymen, with the tidings of the
great disaster, the wall which ascended
from those heartbroken creatures I
shall never while I live forget.
There had been a captain lu one of
the native regiments, an old acquaint
ance of mine, of the name of Donnelly
Jerry Donnelly, as he was called by
every one. He was careful to explain to
all his friends that his name wag Jerome
and not Jeremiah, although why he so
unduly preferred the saint to the prophet
I never understood. Jerry Donnelly,
however, he was, aud as strange and
eccentric a creature as ever breathed.
He was a very good-looking fellow,
and a first-rate ofilcer, but a cureless
rollicking, half insane, madcap of a
man, with an amazing How of spirits,
little education or culture, a great, al
most miraculous, tulent for languages,
with a soft heart, aud an easy temper.
It was impossible to make him angry ;
and in all circumstances, however un
pleasant, he maintained a placid serenity
which seemed to imply thut he was on
intimate terms with Fortune, and knew
the very worst Bhe could do.
Among the other tricks which the
tickle goddess had played him, was that
she had married him. Why he ever
married as he did, no one could imagine.
The lady was neither handsome, clever,
nor rich. Bhe was simply passable as
to looks, with the liveliness of good
health and youth a quality not unapt
to develop itself in vivacity of temper
when those other attributes disappear.
But, on some impulse, Jerry Donnelly
had asked her the momentous question
aud had been favorably answered.
A most uncomfortable couple they
were. Jerry, from the first, neglected
her not intentionally, I believe, but
simply because for the moment he for
got her existence. It never seemed to
him necessary to alter his former bache
lor round in any respect; and as the
lady had no notion of being neglected,
she resented his indifference, and chalk
ed out a line for herself. It may be
easily suppose that the one was not ad
verse to brandy and water, or the other
to gossip and flirtation. They never
quarreled outwardly, but were hardly
ever together.
So stood the domestic circle, If such it
could be called, of Captain Donnelly,
when he was ordered on General Elphin
stone's expedition. His wife would fain
have remained at Calcutta, but as all
wives were going to Agra, she for shame
wai obliged to go there also. On the
rumors of disasters she was very Indif
ferent said she was sure Jerry would
turu up at the most inconvenient time,
and that if he was happy, she was.
When, however, the tidings were con
firmed, and it was certain that Jerry
had perished with his comrades a great
change came over her. Bhe Bhut herself
up for months, saw no one, and went
nowhere. And when at theend of near
ly a year she began once more to look at
the world, she was a grave thoughtful,
softened woman. Bhe went up to Cal
cutta after that, and I never saw her
again until I came home on a furlough
iu 1857. She was then living in a pretty
place lu Somersetshire and was known
as Mrs. Courtnay, of Branley Hall.
I met her aceidently,but she was very
glad to see me, aud explained to me
what I had not heard, that when she
arilved at Calcutta she found that poor
Jerry had, four months before he left
Agra succeeded to this place of Branley
Hall by the death of a distant relation.
He had previously made a will leaving
her all his worldly goods, theu slender
enough, so that iu the end this tine
estate had come to her, and a new name
with it. She asked me to come down
and see her, which I did and learned
more of her history.
Sorrow and prosperity greatly chang
ed her for the better. Even her lookB
had improved, and she was pleasant,
thoughtful, aud agreeable woman. She
remained four years lu Calcutta before
she returned but had at ouce assumed
the name of Courtnny, which was a
condition on which the bequest was
made.
"You know, Colonel Hastings, I
could not have lost the estate, for what
would poor Jerry have snitl when he
came back V"
I thought the woman's head must
have been affected by her troubles, and
said nothing.
" I see you think me deranged, but I
knew he was alive all the time."
" Why, what could have led you to
think sol""
" I saw him, Colonel Hastings. It
was in our old bungalow at Calcutta,
about two years after I had gone back.
Late In the evening I heard a footstep
outside which affected me strangely. I
was lying half asleep, and starting up
in a drowsy state, I heard a voice at the
veranda, and, as I thought, inquiring of
my stupid old native whether I lived
there. The steps then turned away. I
darted to the casement, and although
the figure was clad In the extraordinary
compound of European and Asiatic
garments I am sure it was Jerry. I
darted down stairs and rushed out, but
the man had disappeared. The servant
said he was a bad fakir, who wished to
get into the bungalow, but could or
would tell me nothing of what he had
said. But I am quite sure It was Jerry.
So I am certain he will come back but
you remember he never was punctual,"
she added with a faint smile.
I did not say to her that if Jerry was
alive she must have heard of him iu
some Other way ; but I took leave of her
and shortly afterwards returned to
India.
In 1803, 1 was appointed to an em
bassy to Nepaul.a very striking country
governed by a powerful warlike race.
The first minister or vizier of the
country met us, as iu the Nepaulese
fashion, outside the capital, and we had
a very courteous and gratifying recep
tion. He was a tall, handsome man,
with a flowing black-beard, aud con
versed with me In Ferslan, which I
spoke fluently. After our interview,
one of the attendants informed me that
the vl.ier wished to see me alone, and
he accordingly conducted me to an in
ner department. He ordered the attend
ants to withdraw, and then, in tones
only too familiar, he exclaimed :
" Well Hastings old boy, how go the
Plungers?"
It was Jerry Donnelly by ail that was
miraculous. I had observed him star
ing at me earnestly during the inter
view, and something In his gestures
seemed not unfamiliar to me, but bis
flowing beard, solemn air, aud Oriental
dress, bo much diguised him, that even
when I heard the well remembered
voice, I could scarcely realize his Iden
tity. " But what on earth are you doing
hear, Jerry'" said I, "and why don't
you go home to your wife, like a Chris
tian y
"My wife I well that's the whole af
fair. You see, she's somebody else's
wife, so I'm better out of the way; It
it would be a pity that poor Sophy
should commit bigamy."
" I assure you, you are entirely nils
taken, Mrs. Donnelly has not married
again."
"Hasn't she, though V" said he.
Don't I know better ? Didn't I go to
my own bungalow and And out that she
married that starched fool Courtnay,
when she knew I never could endure
him?"
To his intense astonishment, I told
him, how the truth was, and in return
he related to his own adventures. He
had been carried into Tarlery, and there
detained for three years, when he was
allowed to accompany a caravan or body
of pilgrims to Nepaul. Being by that
time proficient in the language he was
taken notice of at court, but very strict
ly watched. He effected his escape,
however, disguised as a fakir, and made
his way to Calcutta, but finding, as he
thought, his wife married to a man In
his old regiment, he returned, was taken
into favor and had risen to his present
distinction.
" Well, I always was a blundering
fool but I went home with a heart so
soft to Sophy, aud vowing that I never
would vex her any more with my vaga
ries, that when I heard her culled Mrs.
Courtnay was turned to stone, and did
not care a rap what became of me, not
even to be vizier, which, I assure you is
no Joke In its way."
" Well, at all events, you must tome
home now, and enjoy your good for
tune." " I am not sure about that," said he.
" Recollect, she has grown accustomed
to be mUtress I have grown accustom
ed to be vizier ; she won't like to be con
tradicted, and it's a tbiug I never could
bear, and what I never allowed on any
account. Now if I went home, she
would not he mistress, and, as sure as
fate, she would contradict me. Maybe
it is better as it is." .
Next morning he sent for me again.
" I have been thinking," he said, of
all that strange story you told me. I
am all changed since we parted. I hard,
ly know myself to be the same man I
used to be, aud I am not sure that I
could treat Sophy well. But ask her to
come out here, and then she can try.
If she likes me In this outlandish place,
I will go home with her ; If we quarrel
here, mi one will be a bit the wiser, and
I can continue to be dead."
" But," said I, " have you no incum
brances f Perhaps she might object to
the details of your establishment."
" Not a bit," said Jerry ; " I have
none of your Eastern prejudices ; let her
come, and she will find and nobody to
disturb her."
So she did come, aud after living In
Nepaul for two years she brought Jerry
back In tt iumph to Branley Hall ; aud
such Is the true version of a tale which'
made some noise in the newspapers
a few years ago,
How a Rebel Major Got His Pardon.
A few days after the war had been de
clared at an end, Major Drewry went to
Washington, and, without the usual
ceremony of sending in his name, lest
he should be refused an Interview, made
way Into the presence of Secretary
Stanton.
" Mr. Secretary," said he, " I want
my pardon as soon as possible. I've
fought against you as long as I could,
and I've been whipped ; and now I want
to go home and go to work- I've got
hundreds of acres of land that have
been lying idle for the last four years,
and I want to get seed into every inch
of it this spring, so I'll thank you to
give me my pardon and let me go."
He talked so fast that Mr. Stanton
couldn't get iu a word ; but being amus
ed and rather pleased by Major Drew
ry's bluff manner, he asked at last:
"On what ground do you expect to
get a pardon, sir y"
"On the ground, sir, that I showed
you how to build a navy. You sent
your fleet of old wooden ships up to
Drewry's Bluff, and we knocked 'em all
to pieces and showed you sir, that wood
en ships weren't worth a d . And
then you went to work and got together
a navy that was worth something, and
it's on the ground that my men proved
your needs to you that I want a par
don." The Secretary laughed, and told the
honest rebel to call the next day, as he
would like to talk further with him.
Next day Major Drewery got his pardon
aud, In return, gave Mr. Stanton a great
deal of valuable information concern
ing the the South and its prospects.
He went back to his pleasant home on
the James, and has ever since been a
wise, enterprising, prosperous citizen.
Old Time and New.
As a striking contrast between the
travel of fifty years ago and now, we
present the following notice from the
United States Gazette of November 24,
1832:
" A most gratifying experiment was
made yesterday on the Philadelphia.
Gerraantown and Norristown railroad.
The beautiful locomotive engine and
tender, built by Mr. Baldwin, of this
city, whose reputation as an Ingenious
machinist is well known, were for the
first time placed on the road. The en
gine traveled about six miles, working
with perfect accuracy and ease in all its
parts, and with great velocity."
The Chronicle of the same date, speak
ing of the trial, said the engine weigh,
ed between four and five tons, was small
of bulk and simple in Its working ma
chinery. It was then predicted that it
would draw thirty tons gross at the rate
of forty miles an hour. This wa n
very large guess, but It was at least par
tially verified, as the " Ironsides," as
the new motor was called, attained a
speed of thirty miles an hour with the
usual train attached. But the most
interesting feature connected with
this early locomotive was the fol
lowing advertisement, which appeared
in the Daily Advertiser :
Notice. The locomotive engine
( built by M. W. Baldwin of this city)
will depart daily, wheu the weather is
fair, with a train of passenger cars.
On rainy days horses will be attached.
Worth Remembering.
Now that good times are again upon
us, before indulging in extravagant
show, it is worth remembering that no
one can enjoy the pleasantest surroun
dings if iu bad health. There are hun
dreds of miserable people going about
to-day with disordered stomach, liver
or kidneys, or a dry, -hacking cough,
and one foot in the grave, wheu a 50 ct.
bottle of Parker's Ginger Tonic would
do them more good than all the expen

have ever tried. i It always makes the

SUND1Y REALI1T3.
Died Poor.
"It was a sud funeral to me," said
the speaker, "the saddest I have attend
ed for many years.
" That of Edmons'ou V"
"Yes."
"How did he die?"
" Toor poor as poverty. His Hfe was
one long struggle with the world, arid at
every disadvantage. Fortune mocked
him the while with golden promises
that were destined never to know fulfill
ment." " Yet he was patient aud enduring,"
remarked one of the coupany.
"Patient as a Christian and endur
ing as a martyr," was answered. "Poor
man I He was worthy of a better fate.
He ought to have succeeded, for he de
served success.!'
"Did he not succeed V" questioned
one, who had spoken of his patience
and endurance.
"No, sir. He died poor, Just as I
have stated. Nothing that he put his
hand to ever succeeded. A strange fatal
ity seemed to attend every enterprise."
" I was with him in his last moments,
and thought he died rich," said the
other.
"No, he left nothing behind," was
replied. The heirs will have no concern
as to the administration of his estate."
" He left a good name said one and
that is something."
"And a legacy of noble deeds that
were done in the name of humanity."
remarked another.
"And precious examples," said a
third.
" Lessons of patience in suffering, of
hopes in adversity, of heavenly confi
dence when no sunbeams fell on his be
wildered path," was the testimony of
another.
" And high truths, manly courage
aud heroic fortitude."
" Then he died rich," wastheemphat
Ic declaration. " Richer than the mil
lionaire who went to his long home on
the same day, miserable In ail but gold.
A sad funeral did you gay ? No, my
friend, it was a triumphal procession.
Not the burial of a human clod, but the
ceremonies attendant on the translation
of an angel. Did not succeed. Why
his whole life was a series of successes,
in every conflict he came of victor, and
now the Victor's crowii is on his head."
Matching Him.
On one occasion while visiting the
poor, Dr. Guthrie, who was equal to
any emergency, came to the door of an
Irish Roman Catholic, who was deter
mined that the Doctor should not enter
his house.
"You must not come in here," said
the Irishman; "you are not wanted." .
" My friend," said the Doctor, "I'm
going around my parish to become ac
quainted with the people, and have
called on you only as a parishoner."
" It don't matter," said Paddy, "you '
shan't come in here," and lifting the
poker, he said, " If yer come in here
I'll knock yer down."
Most men would have retired, or tried
to reason ; the Doctor did neither, but
drawing himself up to his full height,
and looking the Irishman in the face,
he said.
" Come now, that's too bad. Would
you strike a man unarmed ? Hand me
the tongs, and then we shall be on equal
terms."
The man looked at him in great
amazement, and then said, "Och, sure,
you're a square man for a minister I
Come inside." And feeling rather
ashamed of his conduct be laid down
the poker.
The Doctor entered, and when he
arose to go Pat shook his band warmly,
aud said, "Be sure, sir, don't pass my
door again without giving me a call."
Little Tangles.
Once there was a king who employed
his people to weave for him. The silk
and patterns were all given by the king.
He told them that when any' difficulty
arose, they should send to him, and
never to fear troubling him. Among
men and women busy at their looms
was one little child, whom the king did
not think too young to work. Often
alone at her work, cheerfully and
patiently she labored. One day, when
the men and women were distressed at
the eight of their failures, the Bilks
were tangled, and the weaving unlike
the patern, they gathered around the
child and said : " Tell us how it is that
you are bo happy at your work. We
are always in difficulties."
" Then why do you not send to the
king?" said the little weaver; "he
told us that we might do so."
" So we do, night and morning."
" Ah," said the child, "but I send di
rectly when I find I have a little
tangle."
So let us take all our wants and troub
les directly to the Lord iu prayer. He
invites us to do so, and promises to
help us.
