In the lloston Trannfrijii, not long sinco, there was a very oxijuiiilo poem, which wns wriitoa in camp after tattle, and sent l,y a soldier-fathtr to llis chilircn at licmc. 3t will stir good thouglits nt any fireside, to r:atl it alond: Il.irlings, I am weary pininp; Shadows fall across lay w.iy; I can bardly sey Uic liaing Of tho cloud—the sihcr Hciug, Turning darkness into day.

"Woeth'a leg." on or TaE j>i.\uv op .t iiosrix.vi.. As I stood msditaling, a quick stup cama np along the ward-tho surgeon ivho oiisratfid some dnys sinco on a man's log, coming to eeo his ca,!!. A keen though kindly facs ho has, a clear "and rapid mode of speech, -a quick, but never hurried manner, a certain promptness, decision, and self-possession even in his | trivial actions. . - ' His patient on this oooasion was a square- bnilt, good-looking young fellow of somo six or seven and tiventy years of age—a thorougiily sound and heaUhy suliject for a capital oper.ition ; and ho iiadseom- ple pathos. And she was in many rc» peels, as I afterwards fonnd on closer ao¬ quaintanoe, a grand and pathetic old wo¬ man. But withalshe had been somewhat mismatched in the relationships of her Jife. Sbe Iiad been too strong nnd stern for her weak, ne'er-do well husband; she had been too strict and exacting for her light-hearted and froliosomo boy. Her loves were intense and genuine, but they wero ponderous, and crushed where they" should have sustained—herown heart th« while getting sterner and sadder from the want of sympathy and the absence of de. monstrativo aCfeolion, whioh was in the first instance caused by that very stern¬ ness. Sho was living in what logicians Bometimcs call a "vicious circle." Doubt¬ less there was some failure on her part in the fundamental virtues of humanity and charity, jet she waa in tho main a good and noble woman. With her dwelt Jea¬ sie Freeman, a young orphan cousin, some six orseven degrees removed ; indeed, the cousinship was so very obscure, through ita great remoteness, that I twice essayed to unr.tvel it without success. Being pret¬ ty, 3'oung—about four years younger tfaan George—and continually thrown into his society, of course they fell in love. It rtiia iittCfbanciiy iv iwi.g ».\,u»vui.,^., _;_..„ they performed the above little feat at the [respective ages of lifteen and nineteen.— But at length, after years of true-hearted wailing, the wedding-day was fi.Ked—and the very day whicii had been chosen was that on which Dllworth had his leg shat. tered. ''So, tben," said I, " the accident stop¬ ped the wedding ? 'Well, that was enough to make you down hearted." " 0!i no, m'm. 'Twasn't the accident stopncd ifc. That 'ud be little enough to be.'irlr It were stopped long afore that, and all .along of my own fault. 'We'd chosen thatday monthe nnd months ago' bedause you see as how it was mother's birthday. " We'll be married come mo¬ ther's next birthday,' we'd been sayin' all tho year: for Jessie she calls her * mo" their' as I do. And she'd nse 1, for she's been a good molhi r to her—ay, and to me too. I sees that clear enough now that I shall never seo her agen. But as for Jessio aud me, we'd had no thought o' marriage atween us for this last three months " He paused gloomily. "jWhal! did Jessie break it offafter all these years ?" "No,'twern't Jessie," he burst forth. "Slit! wern't never such a' fool." "GenOy, Dilworth, please. Those strong ¦words don'l do iny good." " Be;; pardon, ma'am," said the poor ft-llbw, subdued autl qulct again in a mo¬ ment. "I knoivs its wrong—specially be- fore|a lady. But I'm that mad wilh my¬ self I don't knoiv tvliat T say." "I know you are. Never mind. Go on, .and lell me howit all fJl outwrongly uboiit this business of yoars that looked so smooih." , ¦ " Weil, iii'm,"! wouldn't like to seem' to complain of my moiher, for she's been a good mother to me, as I was savin'just now,; and to Jessie too. Anil she's fended for lis bravely many a year, when my fa¬ ther weren't doiu' nolhin' except making poor mother's heart ache and wasting the farai'and llie little bit o' monoy we had. Bnt still she was desperato over particu¬ lar, find she set her faco lhat harshly agen Dick; Hall that I took Hre at it." "I>ickUaUwa3 a particular friend of yours 1" "Yes, m'm, he was my mate at work, and a good hearted chap too. But ho was d bad friond after all to mo, and I don't s.iy but what mother iv.nsn't in tho right of it about him if she'd nolha' been so .sharp on it. And Dick ho mado tho worst of-it—I do think as how he oU'end¬ ed Iier o' purpose sometimes. And how i ho worked round mo to mako rao think mother harder than I should ha' thought her if he'd not jawed so about it. But Dick was one of thoso felloivs that have nothin' in 'cm but larking." "Xot a good style of mau, Diiworth," \ said I. " A liUla larking is all very good ed at iirst lo bear in as well as possible.— , , , . , c ... ,.' . ,., ,. %, .¦ andna.uraliuyoungpcoplaof oithersex.

Pre¬ sently tho sui'geon recalled mo. "Dil- worih has a long story to tell you, if you'll be good enough to listen to it," - he said lo me; then, turning to tho patient, ho added, "You make a friend of this lady, Dils-orth; she'll manage 'Jessie' better thau cither vou or I, I'll be bound. Good-by." And so Georgo Dilworth told mo hia story. Xot all at onco—for ho got exci¬ ted over it, and had to he stopped, and bid to rest and be quiet at timea- v„t bjt by bit. I tell it partly in my own words, since it dropped from the sick man in | such piece-moal fashion as his weakness and my opportunities allowed. Ho was the only son of his mother, and she .TTan a widow—a relationship about which there always dvrells a certain sim- with hor ini.'ssasc that I told you of." Thero was a littli.' pause in our talk.— Thon I asked him whether, as it wasjust a foo'.i,:h "uil cf misled prido iind temper liial had nitidc l:i-,n lly oil'from Jc.'^sie, he '.vouid not be glad if bygones could be by¬ gones, and v.'Ould not bo thankful to make hor a steady, gcod hiis'cand, sup- poiinji sho v.ould forgive hiin. " I'd givo anything, m'm, to havo it all undone. I seoin to h.ivebeen a dreaming all the while that UaU was wilh mo all day long. But that's just where it is;— Mother, nor yet Jessie—nobody cnn't fcr givo m.0. Xo, she'll not havo me now.'' " Oh, you've aslced her?" "Xo!" emphatically said, 'il!m not the brazen fellow todo lhat after all that's como and gono. But I know she'd not have mo. Xo girl could forgive what I've do-je. Jlr. P , he's a real, kind, cle¬ ver gentleman, ho is—he thinks as how you can manage il with her, m'm. But, no offence to you, m'm, 'tain't in any body's power to got a girl lo forgive things liko that." " I agreo with you, Dilworth. It isn't in anybody's power; but sometimes itis in tho power of a good girl's own true, kind heart, when she sees that there is I "ll sorrow for what has been amiss. Will you giVu — r.„rmission to lell her you're here, and fo put tn...,, y^^^^^^ ^^r in my own way, and to ask her to >/- ,, ^^^ ^^^ mo?" " Oh yes, you can lell her, m'm," said Dilworth, not over-gratefuUy, because not over hopefully. But I oould see novf ¦ more clearly, what I had guessed all along, that there was true sterling worth in the young man, and that his faults and their consequenees, whioh had made him at first so impenetrable and surly, had produced that effect simply because re¬ morseful shame was so working in his mind that he could never forget the bit¬ ter lesson aa long as ho lived. That evening, I wrote a long letter to Jessie Freeman, enclosing a slip of paper which would enable her to pass inlo the hospital at any hour of any day ; and the next morning but one brought a visitor for Dilworth. I happened to be busy poultice-making, when she came in, and stooping over the table, spatula in hand, andhalf hidden by twn huge jars °f ''°' seed meal and charcoal, I gained a good view of the new-comer's face, while my¬ aelf unnoticed. "A good woman;" that was the mental summary I made after running over the various poinis of face and figure. Beauliful, too, but the beau¬ ty was outshone by the goodness, as moonlight is merged in sunlight, and no longer perceived though still there. So, Jessie Freeman, Ihough very protty, and as I afterwards found, clever, was empha¬ tically and above all that rare and lovely thing—3 gooa woman, ¦iruin in lueuicm, soft, brown eyes; modesty in the quiet, graceful bearing of the girlish figure and small head ; firmness and fortitude in the curved and dimpled chin ; sweet temper and sense in the broad, low forehead and sensitive mouth. That tho rich masses of smoothly braided hair were of glossy texture and sunny bro-vn hue ; that the slightly embrowned skin glowed with the soft flush and clearness of youth and health; that the light foot and ankle were small and neaily turned, were items of very minor importance after those first cardinal points had been made out. I was glatl that, under tho pretext of shielding Dilworth from an imaginary draught, I had caused a light screen lo bo placed on the off-side of his bed, so as to give him tho 'option, by drawing his curtain up to the said screen, of making for himself and his visitor quite o private little nook, unsoanned by any curious eyes from other beds; for I could seo that Jessie was trembling with excite¬ ment, flushed wilh joy, almost tearful with sadness, and ready, on the slightest extra provocation, to lose the self control which was already trembling in the bal¬ ance under the pressure of highly-Tfrought and conflicting emotions. From this face of hers it was plain that the interview would end all rightly for Dilworth; so_ with a few quiet words of welcome, I led her at onoe behind the screen and there left her. It was about two ho-ars before I inter¬ rupted thera Then I found her silting olose to Gsorg^'a bedside, her hand firm¬ ly claspetl in his, and bolh of lhem look¬ ing radiantly happy, though [ eoald see that poor. little Jesse had been crying abundantly, ss we foolish women do, alike when we were exlremely happy or ex¬ tremely sad. "And so you see, ma'am," said Dilworth, with a hnppy fiush on his fiico, lhat was no longer sullen, but frank and open, "she's laken me again, and it's all right." " Indeed, ma'am," said Jesso, with a pvAl'.y littlo nil*. V>olwoon feaulincos o.,,^ archness; " and I don't know as I could have brought my pride to it if it had not been for his h-.a One couldn't ."say 'no' toa poor, sick, maimed lad, as he is noiv." " So, Jesso," observed f, " the losl leg brought him back toyou, and the lost leg brought you back to him. Why, Dii¬ worth, you'll hardly lliink it a oahimlty after this." "I wasjust thinking of that, m'm, be¬ fore you spoke," replied he, gravely; "and as I lay herewith my dear hiss's hand in mine onco more, forgiven by her, and—as one may say—in my right mind again, I was trying in a way to thank God for that very thing. Though a lost leg docs seem a slrange mercy lo bo giving thanks for. But I shouldn't have had my lass hero baok again—no. mayhap never —nor beeu Ct to came nigh her neither, if I'd ha' gono on as I was agoing wi'thout anything to pull me up. And my Jossii-, m'm, she's worth a leg any day. ^ And," he added, flushing up. alightly from that reserve ivhich most men feel in saying anything about their personal feelings, especially their religious feeliugs, "if you'd please, ma'am, to put tho extra bit in the Ihanksgiving for me this evening avhen ycu rcjid prayers, I'll be glad. You can say my name out full, if you please, ma'am, for I didn't ought lo bo ashamed to own it, when the Almiglity'a boen so good to me." " I will take care and romembcr, Dil- ivorth," promised I. " And oh ! ma'am," began Jessie, "hoiv cvor can I thank you—can we thank you enough for nursing of him as you have done, sittin' up o' nighls, and"—how many more of my shiuing virtues wero going to beTOcited I do not know. I be liove tho grateful -girl in her groat glad¬ ness clothed all of us hospital workers with attributes littlo short of angelic — But I intcrrrupted her, for I w.is anxioua lo closo the interview, which was getting loo much for the invalid, and I Ihought thoy hod both had quito enough of ex¬ cited, emotional feeling. " Xonsenao,'' was my unfeeling reply ; " I havo only done my duly by him—and ho wasa good caso. And now, Miss Jcs.=ie, you'll just be good enough to pack up your traps and take j-ourself off without nny more last words. My patient ia getting as fo- vorish and excited as can be, .ind I shall havo hira awake all night, tossing .ibcut till ho makes his log bad. You may come in lo-morrow morning, nml bring p. clean apron and a knife nnd fork with you, and I'll show yoa how to.do some little nura ing jobs which you mny find useful when you're married. I shall have George moved into tho liltlo inner ward, andyou may stop and have a bit of dinner with him ifyou like. But be CiTnow. I'm the most sav.ige and ill-tempered of head-nurses If anybody dares to disobey inc." Jessie and Dilworth bolh laughed, but she mndo haste neverlheless lo put on her shawl and bonnet, nnd 'Dade him a ¦ ' ''Dear mother!' Whil.db yOu mean ?" said George, soothingly. He was evident¬ ly much attached to his mother, although manifesting a certain reaerve.^Oward her. "X -provoked you lo wralh, George,'' answered the old woman, severely; but the severity was for herself now, not for him. "I made you go wrong—I, that was bound to train you up in the w.iy you should go." '¦You trained me up just a thought too tight, dear mother," observed George, with a quainlneas that made Jessie and myself emile. But the mother's gravity was unmoved. She was bent on a fnll and thorough self condemnation. " I've lived' sixty-two years in this world," she said, "and I've fended for my lad through a sight o' trouble—" " Aye, that you have, moiher," inter¬ posed George, with grateful emphasis. " And at the end of it all I've been hi» ruin—nenr ruined his soul, and sore hurt his body. It's just been through my pride and harshness lhat all this has oome about.,' "No, no, mother. You shan't say that." again interrupted the son, eagerly. — " 'Tw'ere my fault a deal moro lhan yours. Y'ou've been a good mother to me." "No, lad," resumed the mother, inex- urumy, ' x was tuo uiursl, «ua tUc wuo who was 'sponsible for yer. If you'd had a mother after tho mako o' Jessio hero, you'd not ha' gono wrong. Don't inter¬ rupt me, Jessie. It's right I should say it. The Bible says, 'Honor lo whom hon¬ or is due.' George and I, we've bolh been wrong—I most. ^George he. was wilful, and, poor boy ! he's broke his leg and had to lose it. And I've been proud and hard, and so 6od,has just taken my pride ami broke it too," like George's leg. He's made me see that this slip of a girl here, whom "I nursed hefora over she eonld lisp u word, is a better woman than I. ir,A will ho o.oofo- .1..,..—I .jupporrior my own boy than ever his hard old mo¬ ther was. And so, Jessie, girl, you take him with his mother's blessing, and I'U stand by while you learn me to be hum¬ ble and meek. Aiid now, ohildren, .we'll lalk o' somethin' else,'/ sho concluded, with a certain imperitive and not un¬ graceful dignity which effectually enfor¬ ced the brief command, and precluded all reply. It was very certain that the humility was deep and true, though, it wasat present'somewhat bitter;- and I think we all regarded the old womnn af¬ ler lhat hard-wrung confession wilh a tenderness and a reverence which noth¬ ing else would have won from us with such deep and lasting siucerity. About six months from lhat day they were married, and not longafler J paid them a visit in their new home. Jessie was doing famously with her dress-ma¬ king. The mother lived, not witb them, but very closo uthand ; ns devoted lo her son as ever, and much softened by recent events. George wns bidding fair to be¬ came a succestful shoemaker, and was steady.^ljlithe, and coulenled. A shade of solicitude mingled with his aC'eclionate attentions to his wil'e, aa if ho had it ever on his mind lo try and make up lo her fin- his former conduct, and to iuduce her to forget the past. As for Jesaie, her siveet, ibrgiviug temper seemed to find no difliculty ot «ii f^».i.;-. .!-;-. t,-.:—^ all umted and happy; Jessio uot llie least happy of tho group, and she said so open¬ ly, in her franir, glad way. "Indeed, and we are happy," responded Dilworth, earnestly; "aud ils all nlong o' Jessie, ma'am," lie added, wilh a gratefu^ nod loivard his wife. "I think you're right, Dilworlh," said I; "I reniomber your telling mo in thij hospital that sho would be worth a log to you." "Ayo, indeed, and I weren't ii 'uit mis¬ taken," he replii d v.'ith enorgy; ''and if I had to choose botv,'een losing the other ono, too, or losing Joss, I'd oli' ivith thu log tomoryow. Siie's worth tho p.^ir of 'em, she is, and no mistake."

COOK. Some years since, when I was in col¬ lege, wo had amongst our "faculty," a cu¬ rious, personage, whom every one regard¬ ed with oonsiderable respect, and yet as a character sui generis. He had lived many years without a wife, and expeoted to live so always. Indeed as he was the professor of mathematics, the abstraction- ofhis science forb.ide his indulging in the idea of getting married. To the femalo aea., tbcrofoi-o, ho ohowed no other regnrd than common politeness requirod. Hia cliaracter was purely negative, ui course, he was not popular with the ladies, and they kept themselves at a distance f]com him. But circumstances lhat often bring about a match in other cises, plaoed him in a peculiar dilemma. Itseemed a whim that a necessity was laid upou him to get married. He was one 'of the faculty of the College,—all tho other professors wcre married and obliged.to entertain tho dia¬ tinguished viailors of the Institution. He had always Iminlcil. Of course it wasn't nevor expected of hioi thathe should ever give a party or dinner. But it began to be regarded as ralhei- mean in him to shirk otf this matter from year to ye.ir, and, "well oif as he was pecuniarily, lo throw upon tho other members of the faculty the cost and trouble of entertaining the .special friends and patrons of tho College. The question was, thereforo frequently aaked -. "Why dosen't tho old miaor entorlain some oflho dislinguiacd vi-iitors that vis¬ it us ?" Xoiv our profosior warn't a miier at all and it oflen troubled him to think he v.'as situated that he cauldn't boar his part of the burden. And yet; wliut could he do ? Must he get married ? Aud if so, to whom ? tic had uo speci'.\l regard for any one in the vicinily ofthe college- and no ona had any special regard for him. In his younger'tUiys he hail scon at school whom h^ had felt a peculiar interest. But ofher ho hadn't heard for yeari. Doubt¬ less before this time sho was married, or in her grave. Possibly, however, sho was still liviug and w.iiting for hi:n I Glori¬ ous thought! Hovviis quite relieved at it though, indeeil, thoro might ba no foun¬ dation for his relief. Xevorlheless, he ho could make due inquiry. Xor could he long delay, for Oonimencemcnt day was at hand, only 1 few wook? ofl. It was his lurn, or rather would bo if he was marrieil. to givo tiio'grca'. dinner to the dialinguished p:;rso:ia^os who would be pr-asent on iho occasion. Tlir-ro ivould uo tile Govornor oi' lhc .Siato, and his Ja-iy— the trnsteos of lho InatiUltioa and their friends, and oUiurs of equal repute. , But who should bo master m c ?ri:inon ies ? And '.vho should gra.io tho tablo ? He cuul'i squaro the circle p--rii:ip.i, but suoh aitirclo ai thi-, wiiiit couhl ho do ¦¦'.ith it ? If he v>-j;ro only lUiirrioi, what :i hclp- meot would his wife boat such o. time. .¦\nd yet, hi^i wifo mustbe a g:o.l looking, intolligont, and accomplished lady ; oth¬ erwise lho hlan'K would bo .1 blot ! Xo'.v thoro W.IS a young lady in the neighborhood that the professor thought might ansiver. He hai seen her "at his boaiding Iiouse, and spokcu to her once or twice. " But, sho raay saj- no," and if sho did, ''where in cronti.-'n," tiionght hi>, "could I hide my head ! Ami liicn what would become of the dining ?" Tlin Governor muat have a ditiuor and he must have a wile. Anil Iionno ho lay awaVte about it all night. At last as tho niorning broke ho criod out to himself, "Contempt! .She will sny no, -.vill she ! What then ? Olher men liavo livurl through it, audi shall. If not. Isbalijiavo a clear con¬ science about tiio. dinner, and a o.lonr eon¬ scionco is liio main thing afior all ! I will v.-rito a nolo to Miaa A. anyway, ft mny bo sU-a will rogard it favorably." So tlio prol'ossor s-it doivn and wrote a nole to Mi.^^s/V. "Stay a minulo," said he to himself, "ivirit v,-ill tho Governor think of lhe Lady? Sho is handso-oie and jio- lile, but can she converse? Can sha enler- laiii company ?" " Doublfuil," said he to liiaisclf, "very doubtful ;" and so ho tore up the note. Alas i for a raan on tlie verge of matrimony ! In an hour or two, however, the I'rofossor called on the President and said : -I should liko to bo absent a few "Not quite that, I presume." said the Professor, "but is she intelligent 7—I speak confidentially." "Intelligent I She is, indeed—she can oonveraa like an angel," "And as to manners. Ia she accom¬ plished ?" As graceful as an actress." "Couldn't I see her before that hour 1" "I think that would be the most conven¬ ient ".time for her to oall, and to see you- She will be engaged in her duties till thon." "I vjill wait then. Pleaso to tell her that Professor Mack of 'Virginia, wishes to see her—an old acquaintance of hers." "Shall I tell her thatyou wiah to en- gags a cook ?" "You may tell her that I wish to aee her," said the Professor. "What name did you say 1" Professor Mack, of "Virginio, if you please, madam." An everlasting long day was before him and he had nothing lo do ; not a problem to solve, except the one in hand, nnd that was one 'of a doubtful solution. Eight o'clock at last came, and the Professor called again to see the young lady. "A cook, indeed !' said the Profeasor to nimselt ; "she is a splendid woman at to grace any parlor in the world 1" But how in creation should hs maice known his business ? Poets, they say, begin in the middle of their story ; but professors of mathematics, where do they begin ! Finally, said tho auitor, "Miss G., how would you like to go lo "Virginia ?" "To "Virginia !" said she as if surprised Are you not mistaken in the person whom you wished to see 1" '•No, no," said he, don't you remember when we both attended sohool in Frank¬ lin street ?" "Oh" sni'^ "*"•• ' •* ¦- t^anvae, Afnp.lf— I remember^yon well; why, I didn't know that you were alive !" "And I have never forgotten.i/ou."

"People often think they are overlook¬ ed when trials overtiike them ; but it is for you to say that your present trials are al an ond." "Professor Mack I what do you mean 1 Why I am a mera^" "If you havo had reverses I have had success, and have the means of making you comfortable in life." '•But you do not know my' circumstan¬ ces now, for I wouldj'ribt deceive you, George?" .'jt-^r/^' "It does not concern^me what you aro now, but what ydu'aro'willing to be."

M-alters were soon arranged as to time, place, and oeremony, and this being over.the party were off for A''irginia—the Profos.ior pleased that he had solved tho matrimonial problem so easily, and tbe lady that she was no longer at the world's bidding. In the country bf Virginia great .ido is' brief good-by. The next morning I taw Jessie early at the. hospital, and with her George's mo¬ ther. A kind of awed grief aud stern joy struggledfor lho mastery on tho old wo¬ man's face—a face so like Dilivorth's lhat I should havo known her any-.vhere for his mother, and only wanting the son's light hearted mobility and brightness of feature, which, now that ho had regained Jessie, shone out again as oonspiauoua characteristics. A square, firm-set face was the mother's, which would have been hard and gloomy but for the lustrous, passionate, dark eyes that shono forlh from under her thiok grey eyebrows. The face oi a woman stern by natnre, made sterner by her long, lonely battto with poverty and grief, and only redeemed from absolute hardness by the reality and intensity of her affections, Joligious and human,' "I havo sinned," she repeated several summer b;ei?L<'?"°e^^'!';^* 1°°«' ™"" | ""^^ "just at this Tue'Oricin 01- Death —A Hottentot fa¬ ble gives the following as tho origin of de.ith :—The Moon, it is said, sent once an Insect to Men, saying, " Go thou lo Men, nnd tell Ihom, as I die, and dying live, so ye shall also dio, and dying livo." Tho Insect atiirted with tho message, biit whilst" on his way w-as overlaken by the Haro, who asked, " Oa what errand art thon bonnd?" Tho Insect answered: '•'I ara sent by the Moon to Men. to loll lhem that as she dies, and dying lives, they also shall die, and dying live." The Hare said " As thou art an awkward runner, lot me go " (to take the niesrage) V.'ith those words he ran oil'; and whon he reached Men, ho said "I am sent by the Moon, to teil you as-I die and dying perish, in the same manner yo shall also dio and oome wholly to an end. " Then the Hare re¬ turned to the Moon, and told her what he had said to Men. Tho Moon reproached him angrily, saying, " Davest thou tell the people a thing which I have not said?" Wilh these words sho look up a piece of wood and struck him oa tho nose. Sinco that day tho Hare's nose is slit. In accor¬ danco with which story, the old men of Omaquiis will not touch hare's flesh to this day. What is tho difference betweou a drum¬ mer boy and a pound of meat ?

"HH3 any death ooaurred in t'ne fam¬ ily," said tho President. '•No. sir," 5.iid tho Professor "but I have a littlo matter of business that re¬ quires my immediaio attention, and I; Ihought it bost to ,';o." " You have ray best v/ishes," said tho Presiden t, "and may you return safely;: and not idone." Tho Professor almost smil«d, but blush¬ ed rather than smiled, and lefi tho I'res- ident, and hastened to New York. His first inquiry on Ms arrival there, was-fcr Miss Adeline G. tho young lady! whom he had soon some yenrs before, at school, aa v.-e havo mentioned.- . "Why," s.iid tha respondent, "tho fami-: ily has been reduced, and she is a cook, i Perliaps you dont know it, sir ?" "A cook !" said ho, "that isjust what I want!" "Oh ?" said tho lad}', "via thought you wanted somelhing elso possibly." ' , "No, I have been half starved to death since I left Xew \'"ork, and I want some ono to cook decently,'' "Well, sho onn do lhat, forshe scarcely has her equal in that lino in this cily.— Why, sir, she is a cook, par excellence." "And how does shelook ?" "She is the handsomest oook in the oi- ity, too." course muc'a was expected in the case of the Professor. But some "bird in the air" carried the slory in advance, lhat Profes¬ sor Mack had married a cook ! What liiili/ tben would c.dl upon her ? What 60" ci.-ity oould lhe F. F. "V's of "S'irginia have wilh a cook ! Bul the President advised his wife to call upon her out of decency al least. If the professor had married a cook, why, ho didn't know any better.- - All that he knew was hr>^v to solve proli- lems in mathemalios. lieSides, he might not li-ive married a cook, or if he had he '.vas woll ';"oir in one respect—he could have a g6od table. '•I'sliaw!" said the President's lady, "ivluit doos a person care about a table iu comparison to caste in sociely?" 'Casto in sooiety will do well enough," he replied, "but since we must eat lo live, a ivcil roasted turkey is better than a fried chicken, and a short biscuit than illl iishcake! And what does an epicure care I'or ceromony ? A good cup of coffee i-; boiler." '•You aro no Virginian, husband, other¬ wise, you would never-say that, for any body knows that nobility in a log cabin is better than a cook in a palace!" "Vv'ell, cill on tho lady and sec—theo¬ ries .iri5 often good for nothing, whilst practico is the sum of perfection!" The Prcsidontcss called and was ama- zetl—the cook was much her superior— aud sho fo.'t it. Tho other officers' ladies having heard that the President's wife had oalled on Mrs. Mack, were obliged according lo cus¬ tom to follow suit. They, loo, were dis¬ appointed, for the New-York lady hadn't li'/od in a city in vain. In mind, in mau¬ ners, ill accomplishments, she outranked lhem all! Besides, in respect lo family shii was not at all iuferior—her father having had fortune onoe and lost it. Cnmmeiicemont day was now near at hand, and the groat dining was to come offat Ihe Professor's. Xor was Mrs. Mack at all disconcerted about it. She had seen a thing or two before, and was fuby confident in her own ability to meet tho exigency. When lime arrived, uil eyes were fixed on Mrs. Mack. Ho'.v would she appear in the presence of the Governor ot Vir¬ ginia ? How in lho presence of tha pro¬ fessors and the Presitlent? And what sort of a tablo would she sot, and how would she graco il? Could sho go through it with dignity ?" OE courso all this was enough "to try men's soul's," but Mrs. Mack was per¬ fectly at home. In antiquetto—in conversation—in tho arrangement of all the ciroumstantiala and iu the forMalilies ofthe occasion she showed herself equal to the duties devolv¬ ing upon her, and evidently interested the Governor very niuch by her powers bf conversation. " What a charming la¬ dy," said he to his wifa, ¦ "is Mrs. Mack! and what a table haa she set! faow well she graces it \", " "My dear huaband," said she,—"Do you know she is a New York cook—why. she has been a mere servant for many years!" "I know nothing about thatj" said he, "butif shehas, Iwish every other lady was a servant aad a New York cook, too. We should have something to cat then, my dear, besides fried chickens and ash- cakes." "All men are not epicures,, liko you. Governor." "No-^but if thoy wera they would imi¬ tate the mathematical Profesaor, and go to'New York to get a wif.s. A man wouldn't be compelled then to go to a saloon to get a decent dinner 1 He could find ono at home—now a great rarity." AUDITOE'S KOriCE.

A. 0 n.iKjr, t' 'g-tr-S Ho. 11 it-OETR eUKSK .tri et, The peculiar taint or iofection whicii wc call ScBOFi.-f,A lurks jn the constitutions of multitudes of men. It either produces or is produced by an en¬ feebled, vitiated state of tliu blood, when.'in ^that lluid becomes in¬ competent to sustain the vitil forces in their viyorous action, and leaves tlic* system to full into disorder and decay. The scrofulous contaminalion is va¬ riously caused by mercurial diseaso, low living, disordered digestion from unhealthy food, impure ^air, filth and filthy habits, tlic depressing -vices, and. above all, by the venereal infection. "Wliatever be its origin, ifc is hereditary in tbe constitution, descending "from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation;" indeed, it seems to he therodof Him who says, "I will vi.sit the iniquities of tlic fathers npon their children.'* The disca.^cs it originates take various names, according to tbe organs it attacks. In the lungs. Scrofula i)roduces tubercles, and finally Consumption; in tbe glands, swellings which suppurate antl lie¬ come ulcerous sores; in the stomach and bowels, derangements which produce indi¬ gestion, dyspepsia, and liver complaints; on the skin, eruptive and cutaneous affections. These, all baving the same origin, require the same romcdy, viz., purification and invigora¬ tion of the blood. Turify the blood, and these dangerous distempers leave vou. With f«.«l.l., f—I, — «.OH»lIuVtl UUIOU, yuu v.i.,1...la have Iio.iltb; with that "life of tJic iie.-^h" healthy, you cannot bave scrofulous disease. Ayor's Sarsaparilla is compounded from the most efTectual anti¬ dotes lhat medleal science Uno tliin:trvorotl ibr this afllicting di.<temper, and for the cure r.f the disorders it entails. That it i.s fjir .*;upe- rior to any other remedy yot devised, is known by all who have given it a trial. TJtat it does comhine virtues truly extraordinary in their eflect upon this class of comidiiints, is indi.=;putably proven by the great nuiltilude of publicly known and rein.irkahle cures it bas made of tbe following .diseases: Kinff'a Evil, or Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Emptions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, salt'^KEeumj Scald Head, Coug;hs from tuberculous deposits in the lungs, Whito Swellings, Dehiiity, Dropsy, Keuralgia, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and Syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases, Female Weaknesses, anil, indeed, the whole series of eoiupiainls llr.it arise from ini]mrity of the blood. Minute reports of indiviilual cases may be found in Avicu'.? Amkuican- AL3iAXa\c, which U furnished to the druggir-ts for gratuitous distribution, wlierein may ho learned the directions for its use, and some of the remarkable cures wliich it has mado when all other remedies had failed to .iffcrd relief. Tlioso cases are jmqiosely taken from all sections of the country, in order lliat every reader may have access to smr.c one who can speak to him ofits benefits from personal experience. Scroiula depresses the vital energies, and thus leaves its victims far more subject to disease and its fatal results than arc hcaltiiy coui-titutions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does greatly .«bortcn, the average duration of human life. The vast importnnt-e of tlie=e considerations has led us to spend years in perfecting a renieily which is atlCfpiate to ifs cure. This we iiow oflbr to the public tmdcr the name of Ayi:u*s S.tRSAr.\im.LA, aUhtuigh it is couviuised of ingredients, some of which exceed the best of Sarsaparilla in alterative power. By ils nid you may protect yourself from the tulIVr- ing and danger of those ditorders. Turge out the foul corruptions that rot and fester in tbe blood, purge ont the causes of disease, nnd vigorous health will follow. Byit.-; pecu¬ liar virlues tliis reinedy stimulates the vital functions, and thus oxpels the dis^tempers which lark within 'the sy&tein or burst out on any part of it. We know tho pnbiic havo been (lcceive<l hy many compountls of Sitrsapr.rilla, tbac promised much aud did nothing; but they will neither be deceived nor disappi)intfd m its surpassing excellence for the cure of the afllicting diseases it is intended to reach.. Althougli undcrthe same name, it is a vt;ry diiferent medicine from any other whieii lias Iioen before the people, and is far more of- feettfal than any other which lua ever been available to iheni.

As I stood msditaling, a quick stup cama np along the ward-tho surgeon ivho oiisratfid some dnys sinco on a man's log, coming to eeo his ca,!!. A keen though kindly facs ho has, a clear "and rapid mode of speech, -a quick, but never hurried manner, a certain promptness, decision, and self-possession even in his | trivial actions. . - '
His patient on this oooasion was a square- bnilt, good-looking young fellow of somo six or seven and tiventy years of age—a thorougiily sound and heaUhy suliject for a capital oper.ition ; and ho iiadseom-
ple pathos. And she was in many rc» peels, as I afterwards fonnd on closer ao¬ quaintanoe, a grand and pathetic old wo¬ man. But withalshe had been somewhat mismatched in the relationships of her Jife. Sbe Iiad been too strong nnd stern for her weak, ne'er-do well husband; she had been too strict and exacting for her light-hearted and froliosomo boy. Her loves were intense and genuine, but they wero ponderous, and crushed where they" should have sustained—herown heart th« while getting sterner and sadder from the want of sympathy and the absence of de. monstrativo aCfeolion, whioh was in the first instance caused by that very stern¬ ness. Sho was living in what logicians Bometimcs call a "vicious circle." Doubt¬ less there was some failure on her part in the fundamental virtues of humanity and charity, jet she waa in tho main a good and noble woman. With her dwelt Jea¬ sie Freeman, a young orphan cousin, some six orseven degrees removed ; indeed, the cousinship was so very obscure, through ita great remoteness, that I twice essayed to unr.tvel it without success. Being pret¬ ty, 3'oung—about four years younger tfaan George—and continually thrown into his society, of course they fell in love. It

they performed the above little feat at the [respective ages of lifteen and nineteen.— But at length, after years of true-hearted wailing, the wedding-day was fi.Ked—and the very day whicii had been chosen was that on which Dllworth had his leg shat. tered.
''So, tben," said I, " the accident stop¬ ped the wedding ? 'Well, that was enough to make you down hearted."
" 0!i no, m'm. 'Twasn't the accident stopncd ifc. That 'ud be little enough to be.'irlr It were stopped long afore that, and all .along of my own fault. 'We'd chosen thatday monthe nnd months ago' bedause you see as how it was mother's birthday. " We'll be married come mo¬ ther's next birthday,' we'd been sayin' all tho year: for Jessie she calls her * mo" their' as I do. And she'd nse 1, for she's been a good molhi r to her—ay, and to me too. I sees that clear enough now that I shall never seo her agen. But as for Jessio aud me, we'd had no thought o' marriage atween us for this last three months " He paused gloomily.
"jWhal! did Jessie break it offafter all these years ?"
"No,'twern't Jessie," he burst forth. "Slit! wern't never such a' fool."
"GenOy, Dilworth, please. Those strong ¦words don'l do iny good."
" Be;; pardon, ma'am," said the poor ft-llbw, subdued autl qulct again in a mo¬ ment. "I knoivs its wrong—specially be- fore|a lady. But I'm that mad wilh my¬ self I don't knoiv tvliat T say."
"I know you are. Never mind. Go on, .and lell me howit all fJl outwrongly uboiit this business of yoars that looked so smooih." , ¦
" Weil, iii'm,"! wouldn't like to seem' to complain of my moiher, for she's been a good mother to me, as I was savin'just now,; and to Jessie too. Anil she's fended for lis bravely many a year, when my fa¬ ther weren't doiu' nolhin' except making poor mother's heart ache and wasting the farai'and llie little bit o' monoy we had. Bnt still she was desperato over particu¬ lar, find she set her faco lhat harshly agen Dick; Hall that I took Hre at it."
"I>ickUaUwa3 a particular friend of yours 1"
"Yes, m'm, he was my mate at work, and a good hearted chap too. But ho was d bad friond after all to mo, and I don't s.iy but what mother iv.nsn't in tho right of it about him if she'd nolha' been so .sharp on it. And Dick ho mado tho worst of-it—I do think as how he oU'end¬ ed Iier o' purpose sometimes. And how i ho worked round mo to mako rao think mother harder than I should ha' thought her if he'd not jawed so about it. But Dick was one of thoso felloivs that have nothin' in 'cm but larking."
"Xot a good style of mau, Diiworth," \ said I. " A liUla larking is all very good

as for co'ji'.'i^e, doubtless he had plenty of

Pre¬ sently tho sui'geon recalled mo. "Dil- worih has a long story to tell you, if you'll be good enough to listen to it," - he said lo me; then, turning to tho patient, ho added, "You make a friend of this lady, Dils-orth; she'll manage 'Jessie' better thau cither vou or I, I'll be bound. Good-by."
And so Georgo Dilworth told mo hia story. Xot all at onco—for ho got exci¬ ted over it, and had to he stopped, and bid to rest and be quiet at timea- v„t bjt by bit. I tell it partly in my own words, since it dropped from the sick man in | such piece-moal fashion as his weakness and my opportunities allowed.
Ho was the only son of his mother, and she .TTan a widow—a relationship about which there always dvrells a certain sim-
with hor ini.'ssasc that I told you of."
Thero was a littli.' pause in our talk.— Thon I asked him whether, as it wasjust a foo'.i,:h "uil cf misled prido iind temper liial had nitidc l:i-,n lly oil'from Jc.'^sie, he '.vouid not be glad if bygones could be by¬ gones, and v.'Ould not bo thankful to make hor a steady, gcod hiis'cand, sup- poiinji sho v.ould forgive hiin.
" I'd givo anything, m'm, to havo it all undone. I seoin to h.ivebeen a dreaming all the while that UaU was wilh mo all day long. But that's just where it is;— Mother, nor yet Jessie—nobody cnn't fcr givo m.0. Xo, she'll not havo me now.'' " Oh, you've aslced her?" "Xo!" emphatically said, 'il!m not the brazen fellow todo lhat after all that's como and gono. But I know she'd not have mo. Xo girl could forgive what I've do-je. Jlr. P , he's a real, kind, cle¬ ver gentleman, ho is—he thinks as how you can manage il with her, m'm. But, no offence to you, m'm, 'tain't in any body's power to got a girl lo forgive things liko that."
" I agreo with you, Dilworth. It isn't in anybody's power; but sometimes itis in tho power of a good girl's own true, kind heart, when she sees that there is I "ll sorrow for what has been amiss. Will you giVu — r.„rmission to lell her you're here, and fo put tn...,, y^^^^^^ ^^r in my own way, and to ask her to >/- ,, ^^^ ^^^ mo?"
" Oh yes, you can lell her, m'm," said Dilworth, not over-gratefuUy, because not
over hopefully. But I oould see novf ¦ more clearly, what I had guessed all along, that there was true sterling worth in the young man, and that his faults and their consequenees, whioh had made him at first so impenetrable and surly, had produced that effect simply because re¬ morseful shame was so working in his mind that he could never forget the bit¬ ter lesson aa long as ho lived.
That evening, I wrote a long letter to Jessie Freeman, enclosing a slip of paper which would enable her to pass inlo the hospital at any hour of any day ; and the next morning but one brought a visitor for Dilworth. I happened to be busy poultice-making, when she came in, and stooping over the table, spatula in hand, andhalf hidden by twn huge jars °f ''°' seed meal and charcoal, I gained a good view of the new-comer's face, while my¬ aelf unnoticed. "A good woman;" that was the mental summary I made after running over the various poinis of face and figure. Beauliful, too, but the beau¬ ty was outshone by the goodness, as moonlight is merged in sunlight, and no longer perceived though still there. So, Jessie Freeman, Ihough very protty, and as I afterwards found, clever, was empha¬ tically and above all that rare and lovely thing—3 gooa woman, ¦iruin in lueuicm, soft, brown eyes; modesty in the quiet, graceful bearing of the girlish figure and small head ; firmness and fortitude in the curved and dimpled chin ; sweet temper and sense in the broad, low forehead and sensitive mouth. That tho rich masses of smoothly braided hair were of glossy texture and sunny bro-vn hue ; that the slightly embrowned skin glowed with the soft flush and clearness of youth and health; that the light foot and ankle were small and neaily turned, were items of very minor importance after those first cardinal points had been made out.
I was glatl that, under tho pretext of
shielding Dilworth from an imaginary draught, I had caused a light screen lo bo placed on the off-side of his bed, so as to give him tho 'option, by drawing his curtain up to the said screen, of making for himself and his visitor quite o private little nook, unsoanned by any curious eyes from other beds; for I could seo that Jessie was trembling with excite¬ ment, flushed wilh joy, almost tearful with sadness, and ready, on the slightest extra provocation, to lose the self control which was already trembling in the bal¬ ance under the pressure of highly-Tfrought and conflicting emotions. From this face of hers it was plain that the interview would end all rightly for Dilworth; so_ with a few quiet words of welcome, I led her at onoe behind the screen and there left her.
It was about two ho-ars before I inter¬ rupted thera Then I found her silting olose to Gsorg^'a bedside, her hand firm¬ ly claspetl in his, and bolh of lhem look¬ ing radiantly happy, though [ eoald see that poor. little Jesse had been crying abundantly, ss we foolish women do, alike when we were exlremely happy or ex¬ tremely sad. "And so you see, ma'am," said Dilworth, with a hnppy fiush on his fiico, lhat was no longer sullen, but frank and open, "she's laken me again, and it's all right."
" Indeed, ma'am," said Jesso, with a
pvAl'.y littlo nil*. V>olwoon feaulincos o.,,^
archness; " and I don't know as I could have brought my pride to it if it had not been for his h-.a One couldn't ."say 'no' toa poor, sick, maimed lad, as he is noiv." " So, Jesso," observed f, " the losl leg brought him back toyou, and the lost leg brought you back to him. Why, Dii¬ worth, you'll hardly lliink it a oahimlty after this."
"I wasjust thinking of that, m'm, be¬ fore you spoke," replied he, gravely; "and as I lay herewith my dear hiss's hand in mine onco more, forgiven by her, and—as one may say—in my right mind again, I was trying in a way to thank God for that very thing. Though a lost leg docs seem a slrange mercy lo bo giving thanks for. But I shouldn't have had my lass hero baok again—no. mayhap never —nor beeu Ct to came nigh her neither, if I'd ha' gono on as I was agoing wi'thout anything to pull me up. And my Jossii-, m'm, she's worth a leg any day. ^ And," he added, flushing up. alightly from that reserve ivhich most men feel in saying anything about their personal feelings, especially their religious feeliugs, "if you'd please, ma'am, to put tho extra bit in the Ihanksgiving for me this evening avhen ycu rcjid prayers, I'll be glad. You can say my name out full, if you please, ma'am, for I didn't ought lo bo ashamed to own it, when the Almiglity'a boen so good to me."
" I will take care and romembcr, Dil- ivorth," promised I.
" And oh ! ma'am," began Jessie, "hoiv cvor can I thank you—can we thank you enough for nursing of him as you have done, sittin' up o' nighls, and"—how many more of my shiuing virtues wero going to beTOcited I do not know. I be liove tho grateful -girl in her groat glad¬ ness clothed all of us hospital workers with attributes littlo short of angelic — But I intcrrrupted her, for I w.is anxioua lo closo the interview, which was getting loo much for the invalid, and I Ihought thoy hod both had quito enough of ex¬ cited, emotional feeling. " Xonsenao,'' was my unfeeling reply ; " I havo only done my duly by him—and ho wasa good caso. And now, Miss Jcs.=ie, you'll just be good enough to pack up your traps and take j-ourself off without nny more last words. My patient ia getting as fo- vorish and excited as can be, .ind I shall havo hira awake all night, tossing .ibcut till ho makes his log bad. You may come in lo-morrow morning, nml bring p. clean apron and a knife nnd fork with you, and I'll show yoa how to.do some little nura ing jobs which you mny find useful when you're married. I shall have George moved into tho liltlo inner ward, andyou may stop and have a bit of dinner with him ifyou like. But be CiTnow. I'm the most sav.ige and ill-tempered of head-nurses If anybody dares to disobey inc."
Jessie and Dilworth bolh laughed, but she mndo haste neverlheless lo put on her shawl and bonnet, nnd 'Dade him a
¦ ' ''Dear mother!' Whil.db yOu mean ?" said George, soothingly. He was evident¬ ly much attached to his mother, although manifesting a certain reaerve.^Oward her.
"X -provoked you lo wralh, George,'' answered the old woman, severely; but the severity was for herself now, not for him. "I made you go wrong—I, that was bound to train you up in the w.iy you should go."
'¦You trained me up just a thought too tight, dear mother," observed George, with a quainlneas that made Jessie and myself emile. But the mother's gravity was unmoved. She was bent on a fnll and thorough self condemnation.
" I've lived' sixty-two years in this world," she said, "and I've fended for my lad through a sight o' trouble—"
" Aye, that you have, moiher," inter¬ posed George, with grateful emphasis.
" And at the end of it all I've been hi» ruin—nenr ruined his soul, and sore hurt his body. It's just been through my pride and harshness lhat all this has oome about.,'
"No, no, mother. You shan't say that."
again interrupted the son, eagerly. —
" 'Tw'ere my fault a deal moro lhan yours.
Y'ou've been a good mother to me."
"No, lad," resumed the mother, inex- urumy, ' x was tuo uiursl, «ua tUc wuo
who was 'sponsible for yer. If you'd had a mother after tho mako o' Jessio hero, you'd not ha' gono wrong. Don't inter¬ rupt me, Jessie. It's right I should say it. The Bible says, 'Honor lo whom hon¬ or is due.' George and I, we've bolh been wrong—I most. ^George he. was wilful, and, poor boy ! he's broke his leg and had to lose it. And I've been proud and hard, and so 6od,has just taken my pride ami broke it too," like George's leg. He's made me see that this slip of a girl here, whom "I nursed hefora over she eonld lisp u word, is a better woman than I. ir,A will ho o.oofo- .1..,..—I .jupporrior my own boy than ever his hard old mo¬ ther was. And so, Jessie, girl, you take him with his mother's blessing, and I'U stand by while you learn me to be hum¬ ble and meek. Aiid now, ohildren, .we'll lalk o' somethin' else,'/ sho concluded, with a certain imperitive and not un¬ graceful dignity which effectually enfor¬ ced the brief command, and precluded all reply. It was very certain that the humility was deep and true, though, it wasat present'somewhat bitter;- and I think we all regarded the old womnn af¬ ler lhat hard-wrung confession wilh a tenderness and a reverence which noth¬ ing else would have won from us with such deep and lasting siucerity.
About six months from lhat day they were married, and not longafler J paid them a visit in their new home. Jessie was doing famously with her dress-ma¬ king. The mother lived, not witb them, but very closo uthand ; ns devoted lo her son as ever, and much softened by recent events. George wns bidding fair to be¬ came a succestful shoemaker, and was steady.^ljlithe, and coulenled. A shade of solicitude mingled with his aC'eclionate attentions to his wil'e, aa if ho had it ever on his mind lo try and make up lo her fin- his former conduct, and to iuduce her to forget the past. As for Jesaie, her siveet, ibrgiviug temper seemed to find no
difliculty ot «ii f^».i.;-. .!-;-. t,-.:—^
all umted and happy; Jessio uot llie least happy of tho group, and she said so open¬ ly, in her franir, glad way.
"Indeed, and we are happy," responded Dilworth, earnestly; "aud ils all nlong o' Jessie, ma'am," lie added, wilh a gratefu^ nod loivard his wife.
"I think you're right, Dilworlh," said I; "I reniomber your telling mo in thij hospital that sho would be worth a log to you."
"Ayo, indeed, and I weren't ii 'uit mis¬ taken," he replii d v.'ith enorgy; ''and if I had to choose botv,'een losing the other ono, too, or losing Joss, I'd oli' ivith thu log tomoryow. Siie's worth tho p.^ir of 'em, she is, and no mistake."
' 'Her prioo is far abovo rubies." 11 WiS after all the samo idea, c.Tproased in the homely phrase of a working man, which, the inspired King S.imuel had long ago recorded in poetic. Eastern diction, wor¬ ihy of that grand old boolc in Vi-iioso his torios good women pluy no inoouaidorablo part.

" Those weio tho days," said tho brush¬ wood again, "when we wero so gny and grocn.
