Sept. 20 l-t'O, 38 3ci. 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- PASSENGER TRAINS this Road on Schedule Macon & Brunswick R.

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 head ot the table. Ann removed 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 dence betwen the married couple.— Mrs. Denwillow often spoke of it af terwards as the commencement ol long and happy life. IK I8MI0KI1I. 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. Snss 2 ~ SftHZX F« ISSSjE crave*, and often i ITiri klsdim. We haye reed a story of a little boy whe, erheo be wasted a new suit of olochea, *w» J . hit mother to ask hie fathersf he4»ighK here it.

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.
