I've wandered to the village, Tom; I've eat be¬ neath the tree Upon the school house play-ground, which shel¬ tered you and me; But none were there to greet me, Tom.; and few were left to know, That played with us upon the grass, some twenty years ago. The grass is just as green, Tom ; bare-footed boys ar. play. Were sporting just as we did then, with spiritsjust as ga> ; But the "Master" sleeps upon the hill, which, coated o'er with snow. Afforded us a sliding place, just twenty years ago. The old school house is altered some; the benches are replaced By new ones, very like the same our penknives had delaccd; But the same old bricks are in the wall; the bell swings to and fro. Its music just the same, dear Tom, 'twas twenty years ago. The boys were playing some old game, beneath that same old tree; I do forget the name just now—you've played the same with me. On that same spot; 'twas plaj-ed with knives, by throwing so and so ; The leader had a task to do—there, twenty years ago. The river's running just as still; the willows on its side Are larger then they were, Tom; the stream ap¬ pears less wide— But the grape-vine swing is ruined now, where once we played the beau. And swung our sweethearts—" pretty girls"—just twenty years ago. The spring that bubbled 'neath the hill, close by the spreading beach. Is very low—'tw.is once so high, that we could al¬ most reach ; And, kneeling down to get a drink, dear Tom I started so, To see how much that I am changed, since twenty years ago. Near by the spring, upon an elm, you know I cut j'our name. Your sweetheart's just beneath it, Tom, and you did mine the same; Some heartless wretch had peeled the bark—'twas dying sure but slow, ust as that one, whose name was cut, died twenty years ago. Mv lids have long been dry, Tom, but tears came in my eyes; I thought of her 1 loved so well—those early bro¬ ken ties; I visited the oid church yard, and took some flow- ers to strew Upon the graves of those we loved, some tw-emy years ago. Some are in the church yard laid—sontre sleep be¬ neath the sea ; But few are lelt of our old class, excepting you and me ; And when our time shall come, Tom, and when we are called to go, I hope they'll lay us where we played, just twenty years ago. The old wonnan then jingled a small bell, and another matron entered. "Better not use force," said she, in a whisper.— "Poor thing! So pretty, too. She dont look as though she'd wear a 'straight jacket.'" The truth flashed upon Mary at once. She was in a Lunatic Hospital! Faint w-ifh terror, she de¬ manded to see her husband, assured them she was perfectly sane; to all ot w-hich they smiled quietly, and with an air that said, "we are used to such things here." By-and-by the liltle wizpn-faced doctor came in, and listening to her eloquent appeal with an ab¬ stracted air, as one would tolerate the prattle of a pette i child, he examined her pulse, and motioned the attendants "to wait upon her to her room." Exhausted with the tumult of feeling she had passed through, she followed without a show of re¬ sistance. But who shall describe the death-chill that struck fo her heart as she enteied it ? There was a bed of snowy whiteness, a table, a chair, all scrupulously neat and clean; and the breath of the sweet-scented blossoms came in through a grated window. Some refreshments were brought her, of which she refused to partake. She could not even weep, her eyes seemed turned to stone. She could hear the maniac laughter of her fellow prisoners—she could see .some of the more harmless marching in gloomy file through the grounds, w-ith their watch¬ ful body guard. Poor Mary! She felt a stifled, chokin? sensation in her thro^it. as if the air she breathed were poi¬ son : and with her nervous, excitable temp rament, God knows the chance she stood to become w-hat they really thought hei? To all her eager inquiries she received only evasive answ-ers; or else the sub¬ ject w-as skillfu ly and summarily dismissed, to make place «for one in which she had no interest. Little Dr. Van Brant daily examined her pulse, and "hoped she was improving—" or if she wasn't it v^-as his interest to issue a bulletin to that effect, and all '-company" was vetoed " as exciting and in)uriou«i to the patient." And so day after day, night after night, dragged it slow length along. And Percy, with the mean- ne.ss of a revengehil spirit, was "biding his time," till the punishment shall be sufliciently salutary to warrant his recalling her home. But while he was quietly waiting the accomplishment of this pur- po.=p, the friend of the weary came to her relief. "Leave me, please, will you?'" said Mary to the nursp. PS she turned her cheek to the pillow like a tired child. "I want to be alone." The old v\-oman took her sewiog and seated her¬ self just outside ;he door, thinking she misht wish to sleep. In a few moments she peeped cautiously through the open door. Mrs Percy sti'l lay there in the same position, with her cheek nestling in the palm of her littie hand, 'SShe sleeps sweetly," she mutterfd to herself as she resumed her work. Yes, dame Ursula, but it is the "sleep" from which only the trump ofthe archangel shall wake her! Mary's secre' died with her, and the remorse that is busy at the heart of Percy, is known only to his -Maker. Trutli Strai.g<'r than Fiction. BT FANNX FEUS, 'Percy, de.ir Percy, takh back those bitter words; as heaven is my witness, they are undeserved by me. 5ee. my eye quails not beneath yours; my cheek blanches not; Island beiore you this mo¬ ment with every vow I made you at the altar un¬ broken, in letter and spirit;"' and she drew close to him and laid her delicate hand upon his broad breast. -'Wrong me not, Percy, even in thought."' The stern man hesitat<d. Had he not vvillully blinded himseltl He had read truth and honor in the depths of the cle ir blue eyes that looked so un¬ flinchingly into his own. For a moment their ex¬ pression overcame him; then, dashing aside the slender fing-^rs 'hat rested upon him, he left with a mutltered oalh. 1 Mary Lee had the mi-fortune to be very pretty, land the still greater mislortune to marry a jealous husband. Possessing quick and ready wit, and quick conversational powers, a more moderate share iof personal charms would have made her society 'eagerly sought lor. As soon as her eyes were opened to the defect al¬ luded to her in husband's character, she set herself ¦tudiously to avoid the ihoals and quicksands that «y in the matrimonial jeas. One by one she qui- tly dropped the acquaintances ot gentlemen who, »m their attractiveness or preference for her soci- Iv. seemed obnoxious to Percy. Mary was no coquette. Nature had given her a •art- and superior as she was lo her husband, she *lly loved him. To most women his exacting ¦ireasonableness would only have stimulated to a lished display of coquetry; but Mary, gently and Elding, made no show ot opposition to the most teurd requirements. But all these sacrifices had fen unavailins; to propitiate the fiend of jealousy ; jjl there she sat, an hour after her husband had It her, with her hands pressed tightly togetner, Je and tearless, striving in vain, to recall any 6se of offence. hour afier hour passed by. and still h» came not. I heavy tramp ot Ieet had lon^ since ceased be- ^h the wind.iw; the pulse .,f the great city was silence and darkness brooded over its slum- r thousands. Mary could endure it no longer. '' and putting aside the curtain, she pressed lace close against the window-pane, as it her ling eye could pierce the gloom ol midnight, lears a step, it is his! . mblingly she sank upon the sofa to await his g, and nerve hersell to hear his bitter harsh- ,.cy came gaily up to her an.l kissed her fore- ! Mary passed her hand o%er her eyes and kd at him again. No! he was not exhileraleJ Twine. What could have cau.sed this sudden ision of feelins? Sins'e-hearted and sincere ill, she never (iieamcd ol treachery, ¦ercy regrets his injns'ice," she said to hersell, •iare rarely magnanimous enough to own they I been v\rong," and with The generosity ol a no- teart she nsohel never to remind him by or look, that his v%-ords had been like poi- arrows to her spirit. following day, Percy proposed their takmg Kt trip into a neighboring town, ai^d iMary, (0 convince him how truly she lorgave ni.m, (y complied. It was a lovely day in spring: ie Iresh air and sweet scented blossoms m.gh, l^ent a thrill ot pleasure to sadder hearts than hat a pretty place," said Mary. '-What a spa- .,houieJ and how Tastefully the grounds are but. Do you s-op here ? ' she continued, as her iiid reined the horse into the avenue. few inoments; I have busine.'^s here," replieo I sliyhty averting his face, "and you had bet- t'ibt too, for the horse is restive and may trou- hiN." ¦y sprang lightly from the vehicle, and as- he fp^irious stone steps. Thfy were met loor by a respectable gray-haired porter. ^liMiernd them into a receiving rooKi. Very sl little swallow-faced man, bearing a strong tnce to a withered orange, made his ap- ce anri casting a glance upon Mary, from his Uwinkiing black eyes, that made the blood n to her cheeks, made an apology for with- d g her husband for a few minutes, " on busi- nio ail adjoining loom, ftiey left, a respectable middle-aged woman eilanil invited Mary to take off" her hat. Sne d^, saying, "she was to leave with her hus- hi a few minutes," Courting in Right Style. "Git eaiit ynu nasty puppy—let me alone, or Til tell your ma!" cried out Sally to her lover Jake , vvho sat about ten Ieet from her pulling dirt from tlie chimney jam. 'I artft techin' on you, Sal " responded Jake. "Well, perhaps you don't mean to nuther—do yer?' '-.No, I don't." "Cause you're too tarnal scary, you long-legged, lantern-jawed, slab-sided, pigeon-teod. gangie-kneed, ov\l, you—you hain't got a tarnal bit o' sense; get along home with you." "Now-, Sal, I lo\e you, and you can't help ir, and ef you don't let me stay and court yon, my daddy w-iil sue ymir'n tor that cow he sold him t'other day. By jingo, he said he'd do it." "Well, look here, Jake—if you want to court me, you'd better do it as a white man does that thing— not set off there as il you thought I was pi- zeii." "How on airth is that, Sal ?"' "Why side right up here, and hug and kiss me, as if yon really had some ofthe bone and sinner of man about yru. Do you 'spose a woman's only made to look at, you stupid fool you ? No; they're made for "practical results, as Kossuth says—to hug and kiss, and sich like,'' '¦Well," said Jake, drawing a long breath, "if I must I must, (or I do love you, Sal''—and so Jake commenceil siding up to her, like a maple poker going to battle. Laying his arm gently upon Sal's shoulder, we thought «-e heard Sal say, "That's tbe way to do it old bos; that is acting like a white man orter." "Oh, Jerusalem a-n-d pancakes!' exclaimed Jake, "if this aint better than any apple sass ever marrn maile, a darn sight! Crack-e-e ! buckwheat cakes, slap-jacks, and lasses ain't no whar 'long ide of you, Sal! Oh, how love I you ! ' Here their lips came together, and the report that followed was like pull¬ ing a horse's hoofs out of the mire. A Rich Story. The lThi§r Oathcring at Ijundy's Lane Appears to have been a failure. True there was a crowd th«re, varying from 10 to 80,000. according to the imagination of the writers, and the nature of the medium through vihich it was viewed. It could not well have been otherwise, consider¬ ing the place, the time, and the attractions. An opportunity to see Niagara for half price, just at the time that a visit there was as desirable, as fash" isonable, was not to be neglected, and was eagerly embraced by hundreds whose zeal for Gen. Scorr could not have tempted them half the distance in any other direction or even in that, unless at "half prtce."" So there was a crow-d, with its usual ac¬ companiments, want of room, want of provisions, wanr of comfort, and what w-as not anticipated, a great w-ant of enthusiasm. Then there were plenty of pick-pockets, and many of the faithful had their pockets lighteneil by a process more summary than is customary even at Niagara, where you can scarce tuin round for less than a quarter. There was quite a display of the military too, of nodding plumes and bristling bayonets, rather a nevs- feature in a political assemblage, but doubtless quite prop¬ er Ibr the opening of a military campaign which is intended to end in a military administration. But as a political demonstration, intended to open the Scott campaign with eclat, to give an impetus to the Military Glory Ball, which should send it bounding over prostrate democracy, and over all opposition, and to cover the country with a blaze of enthusiasm which the mere name of Wiufielh ScoTT was expected to kindle, we are compelled on whig testimony to pronounce it a total failure. The meeting was presided over by Thomas Ew¬ ing, the lather ol Galphinism, the High Priest of Abolitionism, and Chief Butcher of Gen, Tatloh's proscriptive admiiiisir ition, as if to leave no doubt of Ihe tuth of the declaration ol the N. Y. Express, that G n. Schtt's adminstraiion would bring with it the Galphin tail that had lollowed Gen. Tatlok into power. The speeches were made to small au¬ diences, the people shov\ ing their tdsie and intelli¬ gence by preferring to listen to the roar o| the cat¬ aract instead of the homilies of the second rate or¬ ators who had been brought there to entertain them. Among the speakers was Horace Giikelt, who devoted his time and talents to puffing the pictorial life of Gen. Scott, which he veiy truthlully rep¬ resented as having all the charms, and he might have added, all the qualities of a romanre. One of Ihe speakers was so prosy that the audi¬ ence called him down ; while another entertained them vvith some half a dozen lihes of doggerel, to the effect that as they were on that devoted spot, he hoped they would all speak for Gen. Scott, whose services he further hoped would never bd lorgot, &c. Tbe fTf-neral senfinnent of all who went there ap¬ pears to be that the entertainment that was served „n to them "was not the entertainment they were i.'vited t. •" the result of the great effort has fallen like a we't blanked upon the sprits ot the whigs, ind de-p te the highly colored and exaggerated ac- counts which some of their papers giv-e of the .^1- them : If the or of tair, the question is forced home upon atempt to create Scott enthusiasm, and the furor of military glory, s.0 signally failed in sight Lundys Lane and amid fbe thunders of Niagara, vhere may we hope to renew the experiment with better hopes of success? And echo answers where :—Keystone. The Spirit of the Times has some correspondents, so it has; humerous fellows who write for the fun of it, and to excite fun in other.«. And they succeed too, and with the aid ofthe tallest of editors, the real Porter, make the Spirit the "greatest paper published." One of them tells the adventures of a bashful "lover" as follows: His name was Danphule; we used to call him Jackass, for short. Heav n help me if he should see this story; I hope he does not get the Spirit, Among many of his misfortunes, for he was cock-eyed, red-haired and knock-kneed; he num¬ bered that inconvenient one of bashfulness ; never¬ theless he was fond of tbe ladies, although, when in their presence, he never opened his mouth if he could help it, and when he did speak, he used both hands to help him ; in fact, he was a man of'great actions," Jack, one warm day, fell in love; he had just graduated at College, and began to think he must seek the ladies' society; he was getting to be a man, and it was manly to have a "penchant."" So Jack fell in love with the sweetest, liveliest, most boyendish girl in the square; but how to tell his love ? there was tbe rub. He bad heard a good deal of the "language of the eyes," and he ac cordingly tried that, but when he looked particu¬ larly hard at the window where Miss Emily was in the habit of sitting, some person on the other side of the street would invariably bow to him, thinking be was endeavoring to catch their eyes. He has despised expressive eyes ever since then. At length Jack obtained an introduction through his sister, and with her he called several times, but she was obliged to leave the city lor a season, and as each interview only increased his ardor, he de¬ termined on going it alone. Long before the hour fixed upon by custom for an evening visit, he found himself arrayed in his best. Blue coat, metal buttons, black cassimere pants, (said pants being a leetle tighter than the skin,) and a spotless vest. The journals ofthe day state, as an item of iri- telligence, that the thermometer ranged from 7.5 to 80 degrees. Jack swears it was over a hundred. As the hour gradually drew near. Jack found courage and perspiration oozing out together; and he almost determined to pull off and stay at home. He concluded, however, he'd take a walk past the house and see how he felt. By the time he reached the mansion he firmly concluded not to go in, but on casting his eyes tow- a'rd the parlor window and perceiving no signs of life, he thought it was probable that no one was at home, and since he had proceeded so far, he would proceed farther, and leave his card. No sooner determined than concluded. In a reck¬ less moment he pulled the bell; the darned thing needn't make such a cussed noise. The door was opened as if by magic, and the servant girl politely asKfcd him in; Miss Emily was alone in the parlor, and would be delighted to see him, O Lord ! here was a fix ! Go in a dark parlor vtith a pretty girl alone. It was too late to retreat, the girl had closed the front door, and was point¬ ing into the parlor where Miss Emily was. Being perfectly convinced that no choice was lelt him, into tbe dark room he walked or slided. All was perfect chaos to his eyes for a moment; but only for a moment; then from the deepest gloom came forth an angel voice, "bidding him welcome and draw near." To obey the order was but the work of a moment, as he supposed, but he little dreampt of the obstacle fate had thrown in his way. He knew full well that the stream of Love had many ripples, but full grown snags en¬ tered not into his head. Judge then of his astonishment on being tripped lip almost at the fair one's fret, by a fat stool with plethoric legs, which chance or a careless servant had placed exactly on his road to happines. Over he went, and as the tailor had not allowed for any extra tension of the muscles, and sinews, he not only ;irocttrcrf a tumble, but also a compound/rac- lure ol the black pants aforesaid; said fracture ex¬ tending all across that point which comes in clo¬ sest contact with the chair. Having picked himself up as carefully as cir¬ cumstances would allow-, the smothered laugh of .Miss Emily not "se'ting him forward any," he at last succeeded in reaching a chair, and drawing his coat-tails forward to prevent a disagreeable ex¬ pose, sat himself down with as much grace as a bear would when requested to da.ice upon a pile needles. The young lady was almost suffocated with laughter at the sad misfortune of the bashful lover, lelt truly sorry for him, and used all her pow-ers of fascination to drive it from bis mind, and event¬ ually succeeded so far as to induce him to make a remark. On this rock he .«piit. Just at that moment she discovered she had lost her handkerchief What had become of it ? She was sure she had it when he came in. It must certainly be somewhere about. "Haven't you got it under you, Mr. Danphule, Ja< k was sure he had not, but poor Jack, in ven¬ turing an answer, could not possibly get along without raising his hands, and of course he must drop his coat tail. In his anxiety to recover the missing viper, be even ventured to incli.ne his botiy so as to get a glance on the floor. As he did so, the fracture opened, and behold there lay, as the lady supposed, her property. It was the work of a moment to catch the cor¬ ner and exclaim, "Here it is, sir, you needn't trouble yourself about it. Just raise a little, its under you," at the same time she gave it a long, bard, pull. Alas, the tail was told, no escape, nothing short of a special interposition of Providence could save his shirt. But what should he do? Another and another, a stronger pull, evincing on tbe part of the girl a praiseworthy determination to obtain the lost tiry goods, coupled with the request. •'Get up, sir, you're sitting on it," determined him, and on the agony ofthe moment, and grab¬ bing with both hands, a fast disappearing strip of linen which encircled his neck, he exclaimed, "For God's sake, Mi;S Emily,/fare my shirt col ar.'' from the KnnxTille [Tenn.] Whij, 2Glh ult.

After a six day's fight in the convention, and after balloting fifty times, wearing out the patience of the delegates, and disgusting the thousands of spectators present, the popular will was trodden under foot by an un¬ principled band of abolitionists, hea' ed by Wm. H. Seward, the worst man in America, and the whole South was forced to eat northern dust! The nation¬ ality of the whig party is destoyed ; and the man above all others—Fillmore, who wns entitled to the nomination, and who would have been acceptable to his party—has been ungenerously set aside by wire-workings, intrigue, lying, and vile manage¬ ment of as corrupt a faction as ever banded to¬ gether, for similar purposes, this side of the infer¬ nal regions! It will not be more than one month from the day on which Scott was nominated, until every sensible reading man will see that he can't get the eincloral vote ol a single State south of the Poto¬ mac—not one. He ought not to get one vote. I is due to the whigs of the South that they should at once wash their hands of the nomination, and shake their skirts of its odium, shame and disgrace. Tennessee will go for Pierce and King by a ma- I joriiy of not less than TEN THOUSAND VOlES Never having voted lor a Democratic Presidential ticket, we do not expect to voV.i ior Pierce and King, but if we could believe that one vote w-ould give them this State, and the Union, against the Scotland SewardUcUet now before the country, our vote would be given to them with as much theer- uliiess as ever v\e cast it in our lives. They will not nerd our humble efforts—the race will be a one-sided race—Pierce and Kin;; v\ill sweep the entire South—they ought to do it, against the cor¬ rupt and free soil ticket the whigs have put forth —and we pray God they may do it. Whig orators and editors may talk about Bridge- water and Lundy's Lane—about Yera Cruz and Cliro Gordo—and Chepultepec and Molino del Key—and about the city of Mexico—but they will find the glories of those fields swallowed up in the fence riding course of Scott—his insufferable vanity —and the infamy of his political association. Gen. Scott will now come out for the compromise m^s- ures, but it is too late. The distrust of the South¬ ern people cannot now be overcome.

THE object of this Cosmetic is to harmonize and soften the character of the complexion. Being an article entirely different from and much superior to ordinary powder, it requires a small quantity in its application, and yet so identifies itself with the natural appearance as to be imperceptible to the ni¬ cest observer. To those ladies particujarly who are subject to flushes of the face or neck, to such as are exposed to habitual or occasional agitations, whether nervous or otherwise, the Pearl Powder affords harmless, effectual andmost welcome relief; it is also very cool and refreshing in warm weatner.

Many troubled with ringing in ihe ears and head when asleep,great nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds, and bashfulness, with frequent blushino, attended, sometimes, with de¬ rangement of mind, were cured immediately. TAKE PARIICULAR NOTICE, Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured themselves by private and improper indulgencies, '.hat secret antl solitary habits, which ruin boiti body and mind, unfitting ihem for euher business or society. These are some of the sad and melancholy ef¬ fects produced by early habits of youth, viz: Weakness of the back and limbs. Pains in the head.

Nervous Debility and premature decay generally arises from the destruct¬ ive habit of youth, that solitary practice so fatal to the healthful existence of man, and it is the young who are the must apt to become its Viciims from an ignorance of the dangers to which they subject thern.selves. Parents and Guardians are often mis¬ led wi;h respect 10 the cause or source of disease in their sons and wards. Alas I how of:en do they ascribe 10 other caii:=es the wasiino; of the frame, Paipiiaiion of the Ilea , Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough and Syrnpioins ot Consumption, al.«o those serious Mental effects, such as lo.as of .Memory, Depres¬ sion of Spirits or peculiar fi's of Melancholy, when the truth is they have been caused by indulging Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive to both Body and Mind, 'I bus are swept from ex¬ istence ihciiSinds who might have been of use to their country, a pleasure to their friends, an orna¬ ment lo society. WEAKNESS OF THE ORGANS immediately cured and full vigor reciored. Oh, how happy ttave hundreds of misguided voit'h? hern made, who have been suddenly resto¬ red to health irom the devastations of those terrific maladies which result irom indiscretion. Such persons, beiore comemplaiing MARRIAGE, should reflect that a sound miud and body are the most necessary requisites 10 promote connnl)ial happiness. Indeed, without this, the journey thro' life becomes a weary pilgrimage; the prospect hourly ffarkens to the view ; the mind becomes shadowed with despair, and filled with the melan¬ choly reflection that the happiness of another be¬ comes I'lighted with our own.

TWEMY YEARS AGO.
I've wandered to the village, Tom; I've eat be¬ neath the tree
Upon the school house play-ground, which shel¬ tered you and me;
But none were there to greet me, Tom.; and few were left to know,
That played with us upon the grass, some twenty years ago.
The grass is just as green, Tom ; bare-footed boys
ar. play. Were sporting just as we did then, with spiritsjust
as ga> ; But the "Master" sleeps upon the hill, which,
coated o'er with snow. Afforded us a sliding place, just twenty years ago.
The old school house is altered some; the benches
are replaced By new ones, very like the same our penknives
had delaccd; But the same old bricks are in the wall; the bell
swings to and fro. Its music just the same, dear Tom, 'twas twenty
years ago.
The boys were playing some old game, beneath
that same old tree; I do forget the name just now—you've played the
same with me. On that same spot; 'twas plaj-ed with knives, by
throwing so and so ; The leader had a task to do—there, twenty years
ago.
The river's running just as still; the willows on its side
Are larger then they were, Tom; the stream ap¬ pears less wide—
But the grape-vine swing is ruined now, where once we played the beau.
And swung our sweethearts—" pretty girls"—just twenty years ago.
The spring that bubbled 'neath the hill, close by the spreading beach.
Is very low—'tw.is once so high, that we could al¬ most reach ;
And, kneeling down to get a drink, dear Tom I started so,
To see how much that I am changed, since twenty years ago.
Near by the spring, upon an elm, you know I cut
j'our name. Your sweetheart's just beneath it, Tom, and you
did mine the same; Some heartless wretch had peeled the bark—'twas
dying sure but slow, ust as that one, whose name was cut, died twenty
years ago.
Mv lids have long been dry, Tom, but tears came in my eyes;
I thought of her 1 loved so well—those early bro¬ ken ties;
I visited the oid church yard, and took some flow- ers to strew
Upon the graves of those we loved, some tw-emy years ago.
Some are in the church yard laid—sontre sleep be¬ neath the sea ;
But few are lelt of our old class, excepting you and me ;
And when our time shall come, Tom, and when we are called to go,
I hope they'll lay us where we played, just twenty years ago.
The old wonnan then jingled a small bell, and another matron entered.
"Better not use force," said she, in a whisper.— "Poor thing! So pretty, too. She dont look as though she'd wear a 'straight jacket.'"
The truth flashed upon Mary at once. She was in a Lunatic Hospital! Faint w-ifh terror, she de¬ manded to see her husband, assured them she was perfectly sane; to all ot w-hich they smiled quietly, and with an air that said, "we are used to such things here."
By-and-by the liltle wizpn-faced doctor came in, and listening to her eloquent appeal with an ab¬ stracted air, as one would tolerate the prattle of a pette i child, he examined her pulse, and motioned the attendants "to wait upon her to her room."
Exhausted with the tumult of feeling she had passed through, she followed without a show of re¬ sistance.
But who shall describe the death-chill that struck fo her heart as she enteied it ? There was a bed of snowy whiteness, a table, a chair, all scrupulously neat and clean; and the breath of the sweet-scented blossoms came in through a grated window.
Some refreshments were brought her, of which she refused to partake. She could not even weep, her eyes seemed turned to stone. She could hear the maniac laughter of her fellow prisoners—she could see .some of the more harmless marching in gloomy file through the grounds, w-ith their watch¬ ful body guard.
Poor Mary! She felt a stifled, chokin? sensation in her thro^it. as if the air she breathed were poi¬ son : and with her nervous, excitable temp rament, God knows the chance she stood to become w-hat they really thought hei? To all her eager inquiries she received only evasive answ-ers; or else the sub¬ ject w-as skillfu ly and summarily dismissed, to make place «for one in which she had no interest.
Little Dr. Van Brant daily examined her pulse, and "hoped she was improving—" or if she wasn't it v^-as his interest to issue a bulletin to that effect, and all '-company" was vetoed " as exciting and in)uriou«i to the patient."
And so day after day, night after night, dragged it slow length along. And Percy, with the mean- ne.ss of a revengehil spirit, was "biding his time," till the punishment shall be sufliciently salutary to warrant his recalling her home. But while he was quietly waiting the accomplishment of this pur- po.=p, the friend of the weary came to her relief.

The old v\-oman took her sewiog and seated her¬ self just outside ;he door, thinking she misht wish to sleep. In a few moments she peeped cautiously through the open door. Mrs Percy sti'l lay there in the same position, with her cheek nestling in the palm of her littie hand,
'SShe sleeps sweetly," she mutterfd to herself as she resumed her work.
Yes, dame Ursula, but it is the "sleep" from which only the trump ofthe archangel shall wake her!
Mary's secre' died with her, and the remorse that is busy at the heart of Percy, is known only to his -Maker.

'Percy, de.ir Percy, takh back those bitter words; as heaven is my witness, they are undeserved by me. 5ee. my eye quails not beneath yours; my cheek blanches not; Island beiore you this mo¬ ment with every vow I made you at the altar un¬ broken, in letter and spirit;"' and she drew close to him and laid her delicate hand upon his broad breast. -'Wrong me not, Percy, even in thought."'
