A DINNER OF HERBS.
Between eight and nine o,clock on a
fine September morning, a young mar
ried couple stood together at the win
dow o ( a charming little house, pleas
antly situated at Norwood.
The neatly appointed breakfast
equipage had not been as yet remov
ed by the spruce maid servant, but
the meal had concluded, and the mas
ter of the little cottage was about to
take his departure by the train for the
scene of his daily labors.
Robert Denwillow was only a solic
itor’s confidential clerk, on a salary of
rather less than the much abused three
hundred pounds per annum; yet he
coni rived to find life very tolerable on
the whole. He was a fine, honest fac
ed, stalwart person, about thirty-two
or three, who loved his friends, his old
mother and sisters, and adored his
pretty, spoilt, wilful, loving wife—a
bright-eyed, petulant, chirping little
woman, ten year his junior.
The morning was splendid; the
room was cheerful, the servant-maid
brisk and willing, and the eggs and
rashes had been unexceptional, the
coffee clear, the rolls crisp, and the
butter, really butter. Yet for all that,
as she stood amid the flowers in her
bay window—herself, in white dress
and blue ribbons, the most attractive
object there—there was a sullen spout
on feehna Denwillow’s prellynioulh
not pleasant to see.
“Come, dear, I must go in two min
utes,” said her husband. “1 think I
shall be home early to-day. You
promised me a roast leg of pork you
know.”
“And you promised me that gray
morie antique at Swan and Edgat’s” re
torted the lady, sulkily.
“But, Lina, dear, I had no notion
mories were so expensive. Why, they
want twenty guineas for it.”
“Well?”
“Well ! Why. it is the twelft part
of our whole year’s income.”
“But if it was to hlease me ?”
“To please you 1 would make a good
many sacrifices, you well know, my
dear Lina ; but if I were to try to
please you at that rate l would soon he
in ihe Bankruptcy Court.”
Lina tossed her golden head con-

“Besides, what does my little wife
want with snch superb fabrics ?” said
her husband, laughing. “No, no, Li
na. Leave moires to duchesses. I
like vou best in your while muslin.
'I here, I musi go ! Give me a kiss,
and doni forget the pork B} e-bye !
Y T ou’ll be beiter-iempered when I come
home, poppit.”
And whistling cheerily, away hur
ried Bopert Denwillow to catch the
train to London bridge.
Like most of her aex, Lina could
have borne any opposition belter than
her husband’s imperturbable good tem
per. She was out ot humor, and she
knew it. She wanted to quarrel, and
she couldn’t, because it takes two par
ties to a quarrel, and her husband had
not afforded her the slightest excuse for
giving away to her ill-humor.
No sooner was he fairly < ut of sight
than the little woman rang the bell
furiously
“Annd”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“When the greengrocer calls, turn-
in ps and potatoes.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“And when the butcher calle, a leg
of mutton for boiling.”
And there was a malicious twinkle
in Mrs. Denwillow’s eyes.
Ann opened her mouth wide wiih
astonishment.
“Lor, ma’am, I thought master said
something about roast pork.”
“Never mind what your master
said—”
“But,ma’am,” remonstated Ann,
boldly, “master can’t bear boiled mut
ton, and then I’ve got the onions for
stuffing.”
“Put on your bonnet immediately,
Ann,” returned hermistress, with stern
dignity, “nnd go to the Italian were-
house, aud order a boule of capers. ”
And with a look of dismay Ann van
ished.
Mrs. Denwillow watched her ser
vant close the door, and then smiled
triumphantly. “There!” exclaimed
she, in such alone as Alexander the
Great might have adopted after a decis
ive victory; “there! 1 think I have done
il now.”
Five o’clock approached, the Denwil
low’s usual dinner-hour, The boiling
mutton began to give signs and tokens
of its presence in the house, and Lina’s
favorite little dogsniffed the savory odor
in the passages, and slobbered anticipa
ting ly.
“Dear me! I wish Robert would
come,” thought little Mrs. Denwillow’.
“The mutton HI boiled *.o rags.”
A quarter past hvc—half-past—but
no master of the house forthcoming.
L*na grew exceedingly angry.
“How. dare he tease me like this ?”
she ask herself.
It must be owned that there is nothing
in all the world so trying as waiting for
an expected person w hodoes not come;
and this little woman had this additions I
incentive to anger, that she had intend
ed to play her husdand a trick, and it
seemed as it he were turningthe tables
on her. She thought of serving up
dinner—she wa» fowl of boiled mutton
but then she would lose her anticipated
laugh; and besdes, her wifely instincts
revolted from such a piece of selfishness
as that.
Six—half-past—nearly 9e*en, and
no Robert Denwillow! The little
woman’s anger had nil gone. She was
now seriously alarmed. Thrice had
she decended to the kitchen, le confer
with Ann, each lime less angrily and
more anxiously, and she wae already
thinking of paying her servant an other
visit, when Ann herself, with a hasty
and unceremonious knock, entered tie
parlor. The girl looked flurried and
alarmed.
. “Oh, if you please, ma’am, you’re
not to be frightened, but Mr. Hodges,
the station master, has sent up to say
as there’s a accident on the line!”
“Whatscreamed Lina, pale as
death, and with an awful sinking of the
heart,
“A Crystal Palace train have run in
to the four-thirty, please, ma’am, and
seventeen persons are kild, and as
many wounded. It’s near New
Cross.”
“Oh!” sobbed poor Mrs. Den
willow, “I’ve lost the best husband—
my poor Robert! And I so wicked to
him ! Oh ! oh !’’
“Law, no, if you pleas, ma’am, mas
ter ain’t killed. Here’s a 'gram as
Mr. Hodges said I was to give you.—
It ought to have come an hour and a
half ago, but were delayed in the
confusion. Them ’grams always is de
layed somehow,” added Ann, sofilo'
quizingly.
Lina seized the paper, i$nd tore il op
en. It ran thus :—
Darling.—Don't be alarmed.—
Fright/ul accident ut Neio Cross. Am
making myself useful to sufferes. Shall
lake cab, home, don't wait dinner.”
In the intense reliefof her heart- Lina
sobbed convulsively, and made an in
ward vow ne\er to be so cross and exac
ting in the future. In a mood of mad
penitence, she sat upon the sola, form
ing hosts of good resolutions, uutil the
sound of the cab-wheels loll joy full on
her ears.
in two minutes more Robert Den-
willow was in the parlor, clasping the
penitent little woman in his arms.
“Oh, Bob, dear, I’m so sorry ! And
I’ve been so frightened ! I'll never be
so cross again !” sobbed she.
'The husband stroked her fair hair
tenderly, but did not reply. He judg
ed it better to let her tears have thoir
course. At last he said.
“Well, dear, it’s all right now, so let
us go to dinner.”
“Oh, those poor people killed! I
couldn’t eat my dinner.”
“Nonsense, there were no people
killed ; only a score of broken arm*
and legs.”
“Why,” exclaimed the little woman,
n surprise, “Ann told me there were
iseventeen persons killed.”
Robert Denwillow laughed.
“These sort of things are always
grossly exaggerated,” he said. “But
come, [ want my dinner—odd! I don’t
perceive the onions.”
“Oh, Bob, dear!” sighed his wife,
coloring to the roots of he hair. “1—
I’m so sory, but tiiere’s nothing but b-
—b—boiled mutton for dinner.”
The good fellow winced for a mo
ment, bill he comprehended in an in
stant how matters stood, and said,
gently —
“Well, dearest, a certain grand old
Book says, ‘Better is a dinner of herbs
where love is, than—’”
Lina kissed him impetuous’y,
“You are an angel, Robert—a good
man—and lam a weak, silly, wicked
little thing !”
“Not wicked, pet!”
“Oh, Robert,” she said, earnestly as
she hung round his neck, “bear with
me and forgive me !”
“Forgive you, my darling!” said
her husband, returning her caress.—
“Have we not all need ofiorbearanee
and forgiveness?”
“Dinner’s ready, please sir,” cried
Ann, entering, with a covert smile on
her face.
“Well, Ann,” returned her master,
good humoredly, as it boiled mutton
were his favorite dish, “I am hungry
enough to do credit to your cooking.”
* Liule Mrs. Denwllow, with a feel
ing o! iiilcnse shame, look her seat at

the covers. The mutton, sadly over
done, was there, it is true ; but oposite
her master Ann had placed a splendid
rump-steak pie, which 6he had covered
over, to produce the greater effect when
disclosed.
Lina cast a grealful glance at her
servant, whilst Robert Denwillow
said :
“This is famous ! But how is ,l » Ann?
1 thought boiled mutton——”
“Well, sir.” said Ann, with a grati
fied smile, and a sly glance at her miss-
tress, “1 thought, as master don’t lika
mutton, and the batcher’s boy had a
fine steak on his tray, I’d make a pie
on my own sponsibihty.” ^
‘ You have done quite rightly. Ann,”
said her mistress, “ aud showed good
sense.”
purely a’merrier “dinner of herb#’’
never was than that, seasoned as it
was by a renewal of love and confi

Mrs. Denwillow often spoke of it af
terwards as the commencement ol long
and happy life.

A great man has fallen,
General Robert E. Lee, on* of tbe
two greatest military men this aooouy
ever produced—General Jackson be
ing the other—is no more. The pure
patriot, the brave soldier, the incom
parable General, the loved defender of
the internets of bin people, has gon^to
bia home and commenced upon a cam
paign, surrounded with pure, brave-
earnest, deserving apirita like him,
self.
We mourn yrith the friends of the
great General, for a brave man, a high-
toned gentleman, a fearless, intrepid,
conscientious, and determmad patriot
is no more. His last hours were those
of ptac*, surrounded by his friends,
but with his mind reverting back to
the scenes of his campaigns during
the war for the independence of - hie
beloved country. Honestly he lived,
bravely ha fought, gloriously he died.
And there is not in ell the land, from
the pineries of Maine to the swamps
of Florida, from the stone-cotered
farms of New England to the golden
chores of the Pacific, a men, a Woman,
or a child, conversant with the history
of our country, that can speak ol him
in other than terms of praise and com
mendation.

The failure of the e/Tort for Southern
independence did not more terribly
wound the hearts of the people of the
South than docs the loss of their great
chiettain. His love was for his coun
try, and not for himself No promise
of position—of place, of power ; no
muney which coutd be offered him, or
chance for emolument, could win him
from bis love of the people whose
cause was his cause, and tbr whom hit
genius did shine out so gloriously—
reaching, as it does and Will, fer into
the eternal.
When he fought it was not for plan
der—when he waged war it wae not
for the acquisition of property, for the
enrichment of thieves, for this aggran
dizement of a few, but in behait of a
long suffering people, and for that in
dependence which it dear to all ia
proportion as their rights and the*r lib
erties hare been trampled upon. It ie
not in the history ot those who were
bis enemies that he ever gave place or
position to the fawning sycophant# who
came with bended kites or wrt^ ill-got

those who are great, grand, and glori
ous pairiota. Hi* aim was not to con
quer the North but to defend the South.
His desire was not to extend the per
sesions ol that country, but to preserve
to the people thereof, rights and liber
ties, privileges and principles, as much
their own a* ever were the heritages,
blood-bought or bequeathed—of any
people under the heavens.
His struggling was like that of ene
man against a million. Hik same is
one which will ever grace tho pages of
American history, and, no matter
whether he was of Southern of North
ern blood—fighting for or against qs
—his record stands for all the world,
as it will stand for ages to come, as
that of the greatest military genian,
the greatest General this country over
produced.
His army was not a huge, pooder-
ous human machine, kept ever fresh
and powerful by a great and, numeri
cally, strong Government; but it was
a band of, comparatively sneaking, a
few but determined men. Never did
a general fighting so long against suefi
odds as did he. Never wer* armies

were the armies of the North hurled
against him, by thr»« led then
forth to oft ancf oft-repealed slaughter.
Every defeat was with him a victory.
Under any general tho North has pro
duced, th« armies of Lee fighting a-
gainst tb« odds they fought against,
would have been stranded like weeds
upon the seashore years before came
(he termination of the war, and the ex
haustion if not (he defeat, of I^ee and
his brother patriots.
As an American we are proud that
he was an American. His was the
f enius of war rather than of butchery,
[is was the grand, far-righted, mag
nificent operating of a wonderful mind
rather than the plodding *f one driv
ing sheep to slaughter. Aad,asthe
years come and go, brighter and still
brighter upon the pages ot American
history, as if written in letters of fire,
tinted and edged with burnished gold;
high above the names of all other great
men this country has ever produced ;
side by side with the great, the glori
ous, and the immortal Washington*—
will stand the name of him whose lota
