THE WIDOW COBB'S FIUST LOVE.
BT MART W. STANLEV GIBSON.
TUe fire cracked cheerfully on the broad hearth ot theold farm bonse kitchen, a oat and three kitteua basked in the warmth, and a decrepid yellow dog lying fnll in the redeo- tion of the blaze, wriukled his black nose approvingly, aa he tnrned his hind feet where bis fore feet had beeu. Over the chimney bong several fine hams and pieces of dried beef. Apples were festooned along the ceil¬ ing, and crooked necked squashes vied with red peppers and slips of dried pampkins, in garnishing each window frame. There were plants, too, ou the wiudow ledges—horse-shoe geraniums, and dew plants, and a monthly rose jnst badding, to say nothing of pots of violets, that perfamed the whole place wlien¬ ever tbey took it iuto tbeir pnrple beads to bloom. The floor was carefnlly swept—the chairs had not a speck of duat npon leg or ronnd—tbe loug settee near the fire-plaoe sbone aa if it had beeu jnst varnished, aud tbe eight day clock in the corner had its white face newly washed, aud seemed determined to tick tbe louder for it. Two arm chairs were drawu np at a cosy distauee from the hearth aud eaoh other, a candle, a newspaper, a pair of spectacles, a dish of red cheeked apples, aud a pitcher of cider, filled a little table between them. In ona of these chairs sat a comfortable lookiug woman, about forty- flve, with cheeks aa red aa the apples, and eyes as dark and bright as they had ever beeu, resting her elbow on the table, and her head npoQ her haud, and looking thongbtfnlly into tbe flre. Tbis was the Widow Cobb, "reliot" of Deacon Levi Cobb, who had beeu moulder¬ ing iuto dust in the Bytown church-yard, for more tban seveu yeara. She was thinking of ber dead bnaband, poasibly because—all ber ¦work being done, and the servants gone to bed—the sight of his empty chair at tbe other aide of tbe table, and tbe silence of the room made her a little louely.
* Seven years," so the widow's reverie ran. " It seems aa if it was more tban fifty—aud yet, I don't look so very old, either. Perbaps it'a not having auy childreu to bother tay life out, as other people have. Tbey may aay what they like, children are more plagne than profit, that'a my opinion. Look at my siater Jernaba, witb her six boys. She's worn to a shadow—and I'm sure they bave done it— thongh she never will own it."
The widow took an apple from the dish and began to peel it.
"How dreadfal fond Mr. Cobb used to be of these grafts. He will never eat any more of tbem, poor fellow, for I don't suppose they have apples where he bas gone to. Heigho! I remember very well bow I nsed to throw apple parings over my head when I was a girl, to see wbo I was going to marry?" Mrs. Cobb atopped short aud blnshed. For in those daya abe did not kuow Mr. Cobb, and waa always looking to aee if the peel bad formed a capital "S." Her meditations took a new tnrn.
" How handsome Sam Payson was! and how mnch I nsed to care about bim. I won¬ der what baa lieoome of him 1 Jerasha saya he went away from our village just after I did, and no one has ever beard of him since. And what a ailly thing that quarrel waa '.   If
it had not beeu for that "
Here came a long paaae, dnring which the widow looked very steadfastly at the empty arm-chair of Levi Cobb, deceaaed. Her fin¬ gers played careleaaly with the apple paring; Bhe drew it safely toward ber, and looked aronnd the room.
'* Upon my word it is vary ridicaloaa, and I don't know what tbe neighbora wonld say if they saw me."
Still the plump fingers drew the red peel nearer.
"Bnt then they oan't fiee me, that'a a comfort, and the cat and old Bowse never will know what it meana. Of courae I don't believe anything about it."
The paring hung gracefully from herhand. " Bat still I Bbonld like to try:   it would
seem like old times, and "
Over her head it went and carled np qui¬ etly on the floor at a little distanoe. Old Bowse, who. always alept with one eye opeu, saw it fal!, aud marched deliberately np to Bmell it.
"Bowse—Bowse—dou't tonch it!" cried his mistress, aud bending over it wilh a beating heart, she tnrned aa red as fire. There was as handsome a oapital "S" aa any one could wish to see.
A great knock came suddenly at the door. BoWBe growled and tbe widow screamed, and snatched  ip the apple-pearing.
" It'B M -. Cobb—it's his spirit come back again, beckuse I tried that silly triok," she thonght fearfully to herself.
Another knock—louder tban the firat, and a man'a voice esclaimed; "Hillo, thehonae!"
" Who is it ?" aaked the widow, somewhat relieved to find that the departed Levi was BtiU safe in his grave npon the hill aide. " A stranger," aaid the voice. "What do yoa want?" " To get a lodging here for the night." The widow deliberated. " Can't yon go on there'a a honse halt a mile farther, if yon keep to the right hand Bide of tbe road—aud tnrn to the left after yon get by—"
" It'a raining cata and dogs, nnd I'm very delicate," said the stranger, coughing, "I'm wet to the akin—don't yoa thiuk yoa oaa accommodate me—I dont mind sleeping on the floor."
" Earning is it! I didn't know that," and the kind-hearted little woman unbarred the door very quickly. " Coma in, whoever yoa may be—I only asked yon to go on because I am a lona woman, with only one aervant in the houae."
The Btranger entered—shaking himsolf like a Fewfoandland dog npon the atep, and scat¬ tering a Utlle^shower ot drops over his boa- tesB and her nicely swept floor.
"Oh—that looks oomfortablB after a maa hu iiMii ont lot boun In a ¦torm," h» uid,
ss ha oanght sight of tha fire, and Btriding along towards tha hearth, followed by Browse, who annffed Buspioionsly at hia heels, he sta¬ tioned himaelf in a ohair—ifr. CoM'j arm c*oi"r, whioh had been kapt aaored to hia memory for aeven years I The widow waa horrified, bnt har gnest looked ao weary and worn oat, that she coald not ask him to move, but buBled heraelf in stirring np the blaze, tbat he might the sooner dry his dripping clothea. A new thongbt struck her; Mr. Cobb bad worn a oomfortable dressing-gown dtiring hia illneaa, whioh atill hang in tbe oloaet at tha right. She oonld not let thia poor man catoh biB dealh by sitting in' that wet coat—if be was in Mr. Cobb's ohair, why shonld he not be in Mr. Cobb's wrapper 1 She went nimbly to the oloaet, took it down, fished out a psir of slippers from a boot-rack below, and bronght them to him.
'' I think yoahad better take off yonr coat and boots; yon will hava the rheumatic fe¬ ver or something like it if you don't. Here are some thinga for yon to wear while they are drying. And yon mnst be hnngry, too ; I will go into the pantry and get yon some¬ thing to eat."
Sbe bustled away " on hospitable thonght intent," and the stranger made the excbange with a quizzical smile playing around his lips. He waa a tall, well-formed mau, with a bold bnt handsome face, annbumed aud heavily bearded, and looking anything bnt " delicate," though hia blue eyes glanced oat from under a forehead as white aa anow. He looked aronnd tbe kitchen with a mischievoaa air, and stretched out his feet before him, deco¬ rated wilh tho defunot Deacon's slippers.
Upon my word, this ia atepping into the old man's aboes with a vengeance! And what a hearty, good-humored looking woman ahe ia ! Kind aa a kitten," and he leaned forward and stroked the cat and her brood, and then patted old Bowse upon the head.— Tbe widow briaging in sundry gooi thiuga, i looked pleaaed at hia attentions to ber dnmb friends.
*' It'a a wonder Bowae doea not growl; he generally doea if atrangera tonoh bim. Dear me ! how atupid !"
The laat remark waa neither addresaed to the atranger nor to tbe dog, bnt to heraelf.— Sbe had forgotten that the little atand waa not empty—and thara was uo room on it for the tbinga ahe held.
" Oh, I'll manage it," said the gneat, gath¬ ering np paper, oandle, apples and spectaclea (it was not without a little pang that ahe saw them in hia haad, for they had been the Deacon'a, and were placed eaoh night, like the arm-chair, beaide her,) aud deposited them ou the aettee.
"Giva ma the tabla clotb, ma'am; I can apread it as well as any woman. I've leamed that along wilh scores of other things in my wanderings. Now let me relieve you of tboae iliabes ; they are far too heavy for those little banda;" (the widow bluahed;) " and now pleaae sit down with me, or I oannot eat a morael."
" I had supper long ago, bat really I think I cau take aomething more," aaid Mra. Cobbi drawing her chair nearer to the table*.
"Of conrae you can, my dear lady—in tbia oold autumn weather people ought to eat twice aa much as they do iu warm. Lat me give yoa a pieca of thia ham—your owu curing, I dare say."
" Yea; my poor huaband was very fond of it. He used to say no one anderstood ouring ham and drying beef better than I."
" He was a most aenaible man, I am anre. I drink your healtb, madam, in this cider." He took a loog dranght, and aet down his glass. "Itis like neotar."
The widow was feeding Bowse and the cat, (who thought they were entitled to a ahare of every meal eaten In tbe houae,) and did not qnite hear what he aaid. I faucy ahe wonld hardly have known what "nectar" waa—ao it was qnite as well. " Fine dog, ma'am—and a very pretty cat." "Theywere my. hnsband'a favorites," and a sigh followed the answer.
" Ah—yonr husband must have been a very happy roan."
The blue eyea looked at her so long tbal she grew flurried.
" la there anything more I can get for you, air!" ahe asked, al last. "Noihing, thankyon, I hava finished." She rose to clear tbe things away. He aa. sisted her, aud somehow their handa had a queer knack of tonohing as they carried the dishes to the pantry ahelvea. Coming back to the kitchen, she pat the applea and cider in'their old placea, and brought ont a clean pipe aud a box of tobacco from au arched re¬ cess near the chimney.
"My husbaud always aaid he could not sleep after eating supper late, nnlesa ha smoked," ahe aaid. "Perhapa yon would lifce to try it."
" Not jf it ia to drive yon away,'' he anawer¬ ed, for she had her candle in her hand.
"Oh, no—I do nol objecl lo amoke at all." She pnt tbe oandle down—some faint sugges¬ tion about " propriely" troubled her, bnt ahe glanced at the clock and felt reassured. It waa only half-paat nme.
The Btranger puahed the atand back after the pipe waa lit, aod drew her easy chair a little nearer the fire—and his own.
" Come, sil down," he said, pleadingly. •' It's not late—and when a man has been knocking about in California and all sorts of placea, for a berth like thia—and lo have a pretty womau to speak to onoe again."
" California I Have youbeen in California?" she exolaimed, dropping inlo the chair a^ once. Unconscionaly sbe had long cherished the idea that Sam Payson—the lover of her yonth—with whom she had so foolishly qaar- reled, had pitched his tent, after many wan¬ deringa, in lhat far-off land. Her heart warm¬ ed to one who, with something of Sam'a look and ways about him—had also beeu sojourn¬ ing in that conntry—and who very possibly Tiad met him—perhaps had known him inti¬ mately ! At that thoaght her heart beat qnick, and she looked very graciously at the bearded.stranger, who, wrapped in Mr. Cobb's dreasing-gown, wearing Mr. Cobb's slippers, and aitting in Mr. Cobb's ohair, beaide Mr. Cobb's wife, smoked Mr. Cobb's pipe with sncb an air of feeling moat thoroughly and comfortably at bome I
"Yes, ma'am—I've been in California for the laat aix years.   And before that I went qnite round tbe world—in a whaling ahip." "Qood gracious I"
The strauger sent a puff of smoke onrling gracefully over hia head,
"It'a veiy strange, my dear lady, how often yon aee one thing as you go wandering abont the world after that faahion." " And what ia lhat ?" " Men, witbont house or home above their heada, roving hore and thera, and turning np in all sorts of odd places, caring very littla for life aa a general thiog, and making for¬ tunes jnat lo fling them away again—and all for one reasou.    You don't aak me what that ia I   No donbt you know already very well." "I think not, air."
" Becanae a woman has jilted them!" Here was a long pause, and Mr. Cobb's pipe emitted short pnffa with surprising rapiditj. A guilty conacience needa no accuaer, and tha widow'a cheek was dyed with blaahas as she thonght of the absenrSsm.
" 1 wonder how women manage whan tkex/ gel served in the Bame way," said the stranger musingly. "Younever meet «sm roaming up and down in that style."
"No,"said Mis. Cobb, with some spirit; " if a woman is in troable she mnat stay at home and bear it the beat way ehe can. And there's more woman bearing suoh thiugs than we know of, I dare say."
"Like enongh I We asver know whose hand gets pinched In a trap unless they Boream. And women tte too shy or too sen- •Ibl», wUoh you ohoon, for that.".
"Did yoa ever, in all yonr wanderings, meet any one hy the name of Samuel Payson!" asked the widow, unoonoemedly. The stran¬ ger looked towards her—ahe was rummaging her drawer for her knitting work, snd did not notice him. When it was found aud the needles in moiion, he answered her.
"Payson! Sam Paysou? Why he waa my most intimate friend! Do yoa know him?"
" A lillle—tbat is, I uaed lo when I was a girl.   Where did you meet him!"
" Ha went with me on tha whaling voyage I told yon of, and afterwards to California.— We had a tent together, and aome other fel¬ lows with ns, aod wa dug in tbe same olaim for more than six monlhs." " I suppoae he was quite well t" " Strong as an ox, my dear lady."
" Aud—aud happy ?" aaid the widow, ban¬ ding closer over her knitting.
" Hum—tha leas said about that the bet¬ ter, perhapa. But he seemed lo enjoy life after a faahion of hia own. And he got rich out tbere, or rathor, I will aay—well off."
Mra. Cobb did not pay much attention to that part ot the atory. Evideutly she had not finiahed asking queationa. But ahe waa puzzled ahont her uext oae. At laat ahe bronghl it out beaatifully.
" Was his wifo with bim in California ?"
The atranger looked at her with a twink¬ ling eye.
"Hia wife, ma'am! Why, bleaa yon, be haa not gol one !"
" Ob, I thoaght—I mean I heard"—here the little widow remembered the fate of Ana¬ nias and Sapphira, and stopped before she told auch a tremendous fib.
"Whatever you heard of hia marrying waa all nonaense, I can aasure you. I know him well, and be had no thonght of tha kind abont him. Some of the boya naed to tease him abont it, bul be aoon made them stop."
"How?"
"He jnat told them frankly that the only woman he ever loved had jilted him years before, and married auother man. After that no one ever meuiioned the anbject lo him again except me."
Mrs. Cobb laid her knitting aaide and looked thoaghtfully into the fire.
" He waa auother specimen of the class of men I waa speaking of. I have seou him face death a score ot limes as quietly as I faoe the fire. 'It matters very lillle whal takes me off,' be used to say; 'I've nothing to live for, and there's no one that will shed a tear for me when I am gone.' It'a a aad thought for a man lo have, isn't il?"
Mrs. Cobb sighed as abe said ahe thought It waa.
"Bnt did he aver tell you the name ot the lady who jilted him!"
" I know her first name."
"Wbat waa it?"
" Maria."
Tbe plump little widow almoat started ont of her ohair ; the name was spoken so ex¬ actly as Sam woold have said it.
" Did you know her!'' he asked, looking keenly at her.
"Yes."
" Intimately!"
"Yes."
" And where is ahe now! StiU happy with her liusband, I suppose, and never giv¬ ing a thought to tbe poor fellow she drove ont into lho world."
" No," aaid Mra. Cobb, shading ber faoe wilh herhand, and speakiug unsteady. "No, her husband is dead."
" Ah ! but atill ahe never Ihinks of Sam."
There was a dead silence.
"Doea she?"
"How can I tell?"
" Are you still friends !"
"Yea."
" Then yon ought to know aud do. Tell me."
" I'm snre I don't know why I ahoald. Bat if I do you must promise me, on youi honor, never to tell bim if you ever meal him again."
" Madam what you say to me never shall be repeated lo auy mortal man, upon my honor."
" Well, tben, she doea remember bim."
"Bit how?"
" As kindly, I think, as be conld wish."
" I am glad to hear it for his sake. Y'ou and I are the friends of both parties ; we can rejoice with each other."
Ha drew hia chair nearer her's, and took her hand. One momeut ahe resisted, but i^ wasa magic touch; the rosy palm lay qui¬ etly in his, aud the dark beard bent so low that il nearly touched her shoulder. It did not mallei mnoh. Waa he nol Samuel's dear friend!" If he was not tbe roae had he nol dwell very near it for a long, long lime ?
'' It waa a foolish quarrel that parted them," said he softly.
"Did he tall you about it P"
"Yea, on board tha whaler."
"Did he blame her muoh ?"
" Not ao much as himself. He said lhat hia jealonsy and ill temper drove her to break off the matoh ; bnt he thonght sometimea if he had only gone back and spoken'kindly to her, ahe would have married him after all."
" I am sure sha wonld," said the widow, pileonely. "Shehas owned it to me more than a thouaand times."
" She was nol happy, then, with another,"
" Mr, that is to say her husband—was
verygood and kiud," said the little womau, thinking of the lonely grave on the hillaida rather penitently, " aud they lived very pleas¬ antly together. There never was a harsh word belween them."
" Still—might she nol have beea happier wilh Sam? Be honest, and aay jnat what yon think."
" Yea."
"Bravo! that ia whal I wanted to come at, Aud now I have a aecret to tell you, and you muat break il to her."
Mrs, Cobb looked rather soared.
"Whatisit?"
" I want you to go and see her, wherever she may be, and say to her,' Maria !'—whal makes you start so ?"
" Nothiug—only you speak like some one I used to know, once in a while,"
"Dol? Well, take the rest of tbe mes¬ sage. Tell her that Sam loved her throngh the whola; tbat when he heard aha was free, ha began to work hard al making a fortune ; he baa got il, and he ia coming to share it with her, it ahe will let him. Will you tell her thia !t'
Tha widow did not anawer. She had freed her hand from hia, and oovered her face with It. By and by she looked np again. He was waiting patiently.
"Well!"
"I will tell her."
He rose from hia Beat and walked up and down the room. Theu he came baok and leaning on the mantelpiece, atroked tha yel¬ low hide of Bowse wilh his slipper.
"Make her quite underatand thathe wanta her for his wife. She may live where she likes, and how she likes, only it must be with hini."
"I will tellher."
" Say he haa grown old, but not oold; that he lovea her now perhaps better than he did twenty years ago ; that he haa been faithfnl to her all through his life; aud that ha will be faithful till he diea—"
The Californian broke off suddenly. Tbe widow anawered still:
"I will tell her."
"And what do you think she will say?" he asked, in an altered tone.
" What can she say but—Com*."'
" Hurrah!."
The stranger oaught her ont of her ohair as it aha had been a ohild, and kissed her.
"Don't oh, don't!" she oried out. " I am Sam's Maria I"
" WeU—I am Maria's Sam 1"
Off went the dark wig, and the blaok whiakeis—there smiled the dear fisoe ahshad
never forgotten I I leave yoa to imagine tbe tableau—even the oat got np to look, and Bowse sat on his slump ofa tail, and wonder¬ ed if he was on his heals or his haad. The widow gave one little scream, and then she— But stop I Qntat peopla like yoa and me, dear reader, who have got over aU thasa fol¬ lies, and can do nothing but tnrn up our noses at them, hava no businesa here. I will only add tbat two hearts were very happy, that Bowse concluded, after awhile that all waa righl, and ao laid down to slsep agsin, and that one week afterwards thera was a wedding al the housa that mada the neighor- ing farmers stare. Tba widow Cobb had married her First Love I
01D  SWEETHEAET S .
BY    ASDREW    HALLIDAT-
Wben old Annt Patterson naed to tell me, as we sat together by her parlor flra, that she was once a very prelty girl, and that all the lads of the village were over head and ears in love with her, I wondered very muoh, I should mention that I was a very small boy theu. Looking up from tha footstool on whioh I was aoonalomad to sit, at aunty's wrinkled brow, her sunken oheeks and olosely approximating nose and ohin, I could never realise to my imagination the picture which she painted of heraelf "when ahe waa young." She was a pretty girl then, ahe Baid, with blue eyea and a bnnch ot flaxen curia hanging down her baok for aU the world like a blos¬ som of a luxuriant labarnnm tree. There waa a pictnre ot jnat anoh a girl in aunty'B parlor, which aunty aaid waa a picture of herselt at the age of aeven. It never occurred to me, or indeed to any oue elae who knew her, to doubt aunty'a word. Bnt how coald I believe lhat old Aunt Patteraon had ever been anythiug like that ? The girl in the pictare had roay cheeks, and over her shoul¬ ders flowed a profusion of flaxen curls, which were now represented by a brown wig wilh au unnaturally white and well-defined parting. In her dimpled hand, the ohild had an apple as rosy aa her own oheeks. Oft, as I sal at aunty's feet, would I look np at those dim¬ ples, and wonderingly compare them with the blue veins ot the shriveled band which I held in mine. What evil genie wrinkled lhat damaak cheek, and dimmed thoae briUian^ eyes! Ah! I knew nol theu what a potent magaciau is Time. Aunty'a story waa like a fairy-tale to me.
Side by aide with the piolnie of "roay oheeks there hnng another: it was that of a handsome yoang man with bright, dark, piercing black eyea and curly blaok hair.— And thereby hnng another ot aunty's talea. That waa a picture of Robert Aliaon, who went to South America flve-and-thirly yeara ago. "Robert and I were old sweethearts," aanty naed to tell me; " he waa poor, roy dear, and rathar wild, and my father wonld not conaent to 0 ar marriage. It nea rly broke my heart, for I loved Robert very dearly, and I am Bure he loved me. He took my father'a repeated deniala ao much to heart lhat he resolved to leave th& conntry. " I will go to South America, Lizzy," he aaid, "maka a fortnne, and come baok and marry yon.— Your father will not object to my marrying you when I am rich." I cried bitterly, you may be anra; for, as I said, I loved Robert dearly. Well, Robert carried onl his resolu¬ tion. I got np one moruing before it was light, and met him at the old bridge, to bid him good-bye. I was so flurried on leaving ths honae, for fear tbat my father shonld awake and discover my purpoae, that I forgot to pnt on my bonnet; and I remember that, aa I ran, the wind blew my curls about ao that it aiiy peraon had seen me they must have thous-ht me mad. Bnt nobody was up so early. 1 found Kobert waiting for me on the old bridge. After a few hurried words, we parted. Bul before he left me, he begged a look of my hair as a rememberanoe againsl the time when he shonld retnro and claim me for his bride. I had plenty of hair lo give him, and was right willing to give it; but we had notbing to cnt it off with—noth¬ ing bnt Robert's pen-knive. But Love laughs at Bciaaora-makera, my dear, aa well as at locksmiths, and Robert laid one of my curia npon hia walking-aliok, an^ jnat whittled it off; and then I look off one of hia in the same way, though I did not do it so neatly, and made Robert cry ont a little. I could have laughed if my heart had not been so fuU, I stood on the bridge watching him until he was ont of sight among the trees, aud theu I went baok home, crying all the way."
I dare say aunty told me this story a score of limes, and always in the gloaming of the evening, hetween the lights. But she never carried her early hiatory beyond the parting of the old bridge. All the romance ended there. What followed was prosaic enough. Aunty waited several years for Robert withont hearing any news of him ; and, al length believing him dead, she mar¬ ried Mr. Grainger, the iron-founder—more I believe to please herfather than herself.
At the end ot twenty years Mr. Grainger died, and lefl aunty very well off—so weU off, indeed, lhat before the year of mourning was out she was beaeiged by dozens of suitors.— Aunty reaiated Ihem all tor a long lime, and remained a widow until he met my Unole Patteraon, whom ahe look tor better or for worse, and, alaa! fonnd him altogether for¬ the worae and none for the better. Patterson was a kind-hearted, genial soul, and strongly attached to whiakey toddy, and waa by no means diligent in hia buainesa, which was that of an accountant. Wheu ha mada up his own lasl account on earlh, there was a very amall balance left in favor of aunty. A great proportion ot what the iron-founder had made ont ot pota and pans had gone in dou¬ ble-shotted jugs of toddy. Aunty waa a widow a second time before abe heard any¬ thing ot har old sweetheart, Robert Alison. Then she heard that he waa married and do¬ ing well in Sonth Amerioa. She uaed to iay great atreaa upon the fact ot his being mar¬ ried. Poaaibly that waa raiher a consolation tban otherwiae. She might have telt it a re¬ proaoh to heraelf had she heard that he was StiU aingle, aa that might have beeu taken to imply lhat he remained a baohelor for her aake; whereaa she had married and buried two husbands.
Soma ten or flfteen years after the death of Mr. Patterson, news oame to the towu that Eobert Allison had loat his wife, and was ooming home with his only son. Old Mrs. Joyce, who had a nephew in Sonth America, from whom tha news oame, called one evening to show aunty the latter. Annty, at this time was getting old and frail, and occasion¬ ally showed symptoms ot falling inlo dotage. When Mrs. Joyce read her the letter she laughed childishly, and said how glad she shoald be to see her Eobert again ; and then, when Mrs. Joyce went away, she told me the old, old story ot her early conrtship with Robert, and thair parting at day-break at the old bridge.
I was, aa I have said, a vary little boy when aunty first relaled to me the Btory of her early love. I was nearly a man now, and had oome lo spend my oollege holidays with the good old lady. One eveniug, abont six weeks atter Mrs. Joyce called with her letter from South America, aunty and I were sit¬ ting by the parlor fire aa ot old. It was nearly dark; but I did not like to light the oandlea, for aunty loved to ait and talk by tha fire belwean the lighta. The sombre shadea of evening seemed to have something iu harmony with her mood at suoh times.— She sat oppoaite ths piotare of Robert All- son, looking into the fire, aad merrily mbblng her hands. Suddenly the flra burned up into a flama, aud threw a flash of light upou Rob- art's picture. Aunty who had long beeu si¬ lently gazmg at the burning coala, cast har eyas up to tbe handsome face, and heaving a ilgh, mattered half to heimlf and half to ma: " He waa a pa felloir, bat he's dead
aov; at the bottom of the eea, my dear,* sha addad, pointedly addressing ma. I was startled for a moment, thinking lhat aunty might hare heard some farther news—per¬ haps that the ship oa which Robert was com¬ ing home had-been wrecked. I aow saw, however, that ahe was only wandering in her mind, as she had often done before of late.— Freseatly, whea the flickering light of the Sre agaiu fell on the piotura, she langhed, and begau to babble abont the flaxen hairthat slreamed in the wind that moming wheu ahe went to bid Eobart goodbye. " There is some of it lett yet," sha aaid; " Eobart has got the look that he out off with his pen¬ knife. Did I ever show yon the look that I took from Robert in return!" I had ssen il many atime; but I said that I should like lo see it. I don't think aunty could have been a vary sentimeatal peraoa; for, though ehe kept thia lock and oherished it, she never wore it about her person, as women do wear those thinga. Perhaps ahe thought that, afler the iron-founder and the accountant, it would have looked like affectation. She kept Robert's bair ia a lillle rad box, wilh rings and brooches, and other ornaments of the kind. She never took any partionlar oare ot this box, or the hair whioh it contained ; bnt alwaya apoka of tbe touviner and ot Robert simply as pleasant remembrances ot the paat. She look the box from tbe place on the man¬ tle shelf which it usually occupied, opened it and took out the hair. Tha lock was a sin¬ gle jet-black curl, and, as annty gently straightened it out, it slipped from her grasp and twined itself aronnd tbe third flnger of the left haad, exactly over her two wed¬ ding-rings.
" Why, annty," said I," that's aa omea— Robert is certaialy coming home to marry yon."
"Marry me, ohild!" she repUed; "I've had enough of marrying. Robert wiU jnat be five and Ihirty years too late. I remember that lock cnrling round my finger before I married Mr. Grainger, and 1 thought some¬ thing would come of it—and so Bomething did come of it, but ll was nol the something that I expeoted. Robert got married—aad so did I. We Bwore oa tha old bridge to live aad wait for eaoh other; but oar oaths went dowa on the stream that flowed anderneath, and were carried away to the ocean of obli¬ vion. Yel, it seema but yeaterday that we parted." Aunty pauaed, apparently over¬ come by emotion, and, ere ahe could reaume, the fire fell ia and bnrat into a ateady, bril¬ liant flame. My attention, which waa aud¬ denly attraoted lo the blaze, was almost immediately diverted to a noise as of some one entering the room—and at the same mo¬ ment a scream from aunty. On looking np, I discovered the presence of a stranger. My gaze no aooner teU npon his coutenance thau I alao uttered a cry ot surprise.
"Robert—Robert 1" cried aunty.
Had the picture stepped down from ita frame, or was thia some conjuration of the fanoy! Thare, hia hal in his hand, and hia gloaay blaok hair hanging in clnatering curia round hia handaome head, atood the very embodiment ot tha picture of Robert Aliaon.
" I knew it—I knew it!" oried aunty, with almost frantio joy ; and risiug from her chair, she rnabed lo the yonng man and threw her arms around his neok,^ Poor annty had been dwelling in imagination upon her old sweet¬ heart, and seeing his very counterpart before her, was lost to aU sense of the posaibility of hia being the same person from who she had parted forty years before. I myself waa pnz¬ zled, and it was some momenta before il flashed upon me that the peraoa before ns might be Robert Alison's aon. The young man was serioualy embarrassed, but kindly look the good old soul's embraces witbout attempting lo diaeuchanl her. While she hung around him, caUing him her "dear Robert," I explained to the yonng maa lhat I was her nephew, and that aunty, who waa fast sinking into dotage, had taken bim for his father, to whom, as he might know, she was attached in her youth. He said he know lhat, and that his father was coming in pres¬ ently. Meantime, aunty hung about him, calling him by endearing names, and remind¬ ing him of their yonng days, and of thair sorrowful parting on tha old bridge.
"Don't yon remember, Eobert, the old bridge, and my flaxen curls shining in tbe wind lhat moming when I cama to say fare¬ well ! Come—come and sit by me;" and when the yonng man took a seat by her side, she stroked har gloasy ourla, and, turniug lo me, aaid proudly—
"You see it ia jot blaok aa I told you— blaok and gloasy, and all in cnrla, jast like the one that he gave ma forty years ago."
The candles were now alight, and as aunty aaid theae words, her eyes feU full npon her own shrivelled fingers, which embraced the fresh, yonng hand ofher old sweetheart's aou. "Fortyyeara ago !" she repeated with a sigh: " what a fooliah old woman I am ! I am won¬ dering in my wits.'" Here ahe paused, and covered her face wilh her nands, Al length,ahe said, more calmly—" I have been dreaming, young man, aa if tima had been atanding atUl for forty yaara. You can't be my Robert Aliaon, but you mnst be Robert Alison's aon. Look," she aaid, befora he had time to reply ; 'therela your portrait,jast aa if you bad sat for it;" and so saying, she took the caudle, and led the young mau to the pictare.— Meanwnile a knook came to the door, and au old grey-bearded man enlered at my bidding. " Mistress Patteraon ?" said the atranger inquiringly.
I atepped up quietly to him, and aaked him if he was Mr. Aliaon—Eobert AUaon !¦ He aaid yes, and he wanted to aee Mistresa Patterson. Aunty was slill atanding with the young mau, throwing the light upon the picture wilh her hand. I aaid in a whiaper, pointing to aunty," That is Miatreas Patter, son 1" The old man atarted, and aiezed my arm as if for anpport. Annty alill slood there shading the light, and the old man, grasping my arm mora lightly, remained gazing at her abstractedly. At lengih, tuming to me, he said, in a low voice—" Excuse me, I have snstained a shook. Porty years ago that waa the prettieat girl in tbia lowu; du¬ ring lhat lima I have thonght of her aa ahe was then. I meet her now, when both she and I are verging towards tbe grave. I shouldn't have recognized my old sweetheart, aud I dare say she wIU not recognize ma.'' I went ap to aunty and told her who had come. She oame forward to where the old mau was standing, with the candle stiU in her hand. Sbe gazed at his snow-white hair, and thin, sallow faoe, and snid, calmly, holding onl her hand—" WeU, Robert, and so we havo met at last, atter forty years." " We have," retnm- ed old Robert Aliaon; " and having been old Bweelhearta, there wiU be no harm in an em¬ brace, espeoiaUy as I am a widower aad yon a widow." And the old man took aunty ia his arma, and kiased her right heartily,
I fully expeoted a "scene;" but I was greatly relieved to find that tha old sweet¬ hearts were by ao meaaa disposed lo be sen¬ timental. The old mau aad his soa slopped, and, afler sapper, auaty grew quite chatty and cheerful, and talked in a light and airy way of old times. Aud at last she broagbt ont Robert's black ourl; and tbe maa langh¬ ed, aad said he conld not supply any more according to that sample. " Nor do I sup¬ pose, Mistress Patterson," headded, taking a locket trom his neok, "that you oau execute an order according to that;" and so sayiag, he took ont the tresses of flaxen hair which aunty had givan him on the old bridge forty years before. There ware tears in anaty's eyes, she looked upon tha two locks lying side by side ia her lap.
Eobert Alison setUed down ia his aative towa, aad was onoe mora aunty's sweetheart. He wasa oonstant Tisitor at her house, and often walked oat with har to the old bridge whore they .parted la their youth.; The
neighbors laaghed to see the old couple to¬ gether, and eaid, plaasautly, that the best thing they could do, sinoe they had been sweethearts so long, was to getmarried, Eut aunty alwaya said ahe had enough of marry¬ ing.
Aunty did not Uve long atter the arrival of her old sweetheart. The inflrmities of aga oama upoa her vary fast, and the last time sha weat out she waa wheeled In a chair to the old bridge, and Eobert Alison walked with tottering steps by her side.
Annty lies in tho chorchyard now I Aad last year Eobert Aliaon waa laid by her aide. The iron-founder and tho aoconataat repose hard-by; bat they have aothiag to say to it.
THE  ATUOSPHEEE  AT  HOHE- TWO PICTTTEES.
" There's a vast differenoe in the atmoa¬ phere of homes," remarked a friend to me a few days since.
'' Yes, indeed," said I; and memory brought to view a grand and stately city home, fair in its arohiteotnral proportions 'as a poet's dream,' and superbly adorned with all that tasle could suggest and wealth sapply. Truly, this ia a plaoe wbere happlneaa must love lo linger, it splendor haa any power to attract it.   Bat we shaU see.
As you asoend the broad steps a ohill creeps alowly over the heart, that you oan't but hopa an inner view wiU dispel. Yet as you traverae lofty, richly-decorated rooms, the feeling increases in spite ot yon. The subdued Ught seems gloomy. Can il be, lhat amid this rare collection of the beauti¬ ful, comfort has been forgotten?
But StUl yon wander oo, hoping to flnd the cosy apot where tha Lares and Penates of the household cluster. A quiet placa adorned with
Plelores, aad boats, aai books, and flowera. And a light he&rtb where ona may sit for hoars, And reel lho minates In their rapid flight, Tet never think to conut them as they go, The mind in coaverso sweet begailed so.
Alas! 'tia a vain aearoh; 'tia as cold as tha marble slabs lhat adom it. There's a con¬ servatory graced with the rarest of plants, and birds carol there amid ita fragrant blos¬ soms, and waters splash in the liny fountain; but it's all show, and afforda no pleasure lo ita possessors; indeed, they know bnt liltle enjoyment. The husband, wholly absorbed through the day ia basineaa, retuma home weary and harraased with care, and veata hia ill-hamor npon thoaa whom he ia bonnd to lova and cherish; while the wife and daugh¬ ters are rendered too irritable and restless, by a ronnd ot gaiety and diaaipalion, to ever settle down to quiet home pleaaures. So there is constant bickering and contention, and hearts aohe sadly beueath valvals and jewela; but amilea have marked grieMadea hearta thia many a year; ao what doea it matter if people only fanoy Ihem happy!
There's ao familyealtar there, uo sweet ia- cense arising from gratefnl hearta to the Giver of every good gift; living for theworid iathe aim ot their existence.
Bul now step from the ahadow ot this gorgeoas home. I know you bave a feeliug of relief to be once more in the open and sunny slreel thanking a kind Providence lhat your lot haa not been caat there.
Then come with me once more—tbis time away from the noisy bnatUng streets of tbe crowded oity, lo an hnmble home, nestled in among green hiUs and gay pastures, doited over with aoddiag daises and bntleronps.
There la something in the very air of tha place that attraota yon ; it weara tbat cheer¬ ful faoe lhat does the heart good; sunshine seems to linger lovingly in every told of the curtains, and dances and froUcs upon the wall In very gladness ; there is odor witbout stiffuesa, the beautiful and useful are com¬ bined in a way tbal is easier seen aud felt than described.
The furnishing, evidently, waa not the work of an upholater. There are picturea upon the waU, easy chairs, and lounges, all home-made, while trne feminine taste aud in; genuity are displayed everywhere. These are the little adommenta that serve to make any place seem homelike. Bat there's noth¬ ing there too good to nae. Happy ohildren trip over the neat carpets and cUmb the cush¬ ioned chalra nncheoked; aud when the wel¬ comed sound of "Papa ia coming,"'rings through the honae, there's the swift palter ot little feet, and the merry aound of laughter as they rush lo meet him and make ready the slippers and the easy-chair. Here the hna band ia atrengthened for another day's toU, and the mother nerved for her daily ronnd of dntiea, by the bleaaed consciousnesa of mak¬ ing otbera happy. And whan tha dark daya come, aa they come lo all, there'a aomething to maat the alain beside tha flimsy vanities of life. There's a strong arm npon which to loan, and a trust in a Heavenly Father's guidance, knowing that he leadeth us in a way that we know not.
Thns one sunshiny heart wiU diffusa its brightness through a whole home, making the loneliest Bsot pleasant, and the home¬ liest dear. Then envy nol the rich, you that have humble homes, aud are somelimes weary, and long for recreation and some of tha luxuries that others enjoy; remember that "elegant leisure" is often but anotber name for " aplendid misery,"
" Contentment, with godliness, is greal gain,"
There are some men so coldly correct that they leave no oue to regret their loss, not eveu a creditor.

Hor, if tha deed mnat at all risks he done, Bang weoplngat his skirts, and spoil bia ran.
There are some reasoners and preachers with snch a showily adroit mode of mana¬ ging their arguments, and with such smiling self-satiafied asanrance as to their reaults, lhat they irresistibly remind ua of preatiglita- lora, or those who make lace by tha awift movement ot bobbins.
:'A Yankee boy once had a whole Datch cheese set before him by a waggish friend, who, bowever, gave him no knife. ¦ " Thia ia a fnnny cheese. Uncle Joe, bnt whare ahall I ont it ?" " Oh," aaid tba grinning friend, "cut it where you like." " Very weU," aaid the Yankee, oooly putling it under hia arm, " gnesB I ShaU besl cul it at home."
Some yeara ago there was a man in Naw Orieana, who, on week days, was a cottou broker—on Sundaya he waa,a preacher.— There had been a weak ot unusual excitemeat in tha cotton market, and oa the foUowing Saaday oor frlead commenced the aervices with a hymn, wbich he annonnced as followa: " We will aing 10 the praise of the Lord the 42th hymn—long staple.'"

Aa Arkanaas candidate for Congress sets forth his qnallfioations for office, iu tbe follow¬ ing language : " Gentlemen, if I am elected lo Congress, I will represeut my constituents as tha sea represents the earlb, or aa the nigbt contrasts with the day, I will uurivit all hu¬ man sooiety, clean all its parta, aud screw it together again. I will correct all abuses purge out all corraption, and go through the enemies of our parly like a rat through a new cheese."   He waa eleoted.
Old Judge Jouan Joles prononuced upon Elm Chnrch thia seuieuce: "Elm €hurch, stand up and face the muaic. You are fonnd gailty of suicide for stealing. Now, thia oonrt sentences you to pay a fine ot two shil¬ lings, lo shave your head with a bagganet, in tho barracks, and it you try to eave in tbe heada of any of the j ory, you'll catch thun¬ der, that'a all. Your fate will be a warning to othera; and iu couclusion. Sheriff, bring me a pint of redeye, I'm awfal thirsty."

There are three modes ot dealing wilh an adversary besides that of adducing argument.
