GRANDMA HUNTER S STORY.
BY MRS. M. E. M. SAXGSTER.
Grandma Hunter sat by the window,
knitting. She was busily working at the
stocking, but I knew by the dreamy ex
pression of her eyes, and the tremulous
motion about her lips, that her mind had
wandered backwards to the green pas
tures of her h;tppy youth. ears had
stolen over her so softly that much of
beauty yet lingered on her smooth brow,
and in the thick, silvery hair that was to
her a crown of glory. A singularly
cheerful and elastic disposition had
borne her up under the pressure of
many sorrows, and at seventy her buoy
ancy of spirit drew the young around
her, and made he- a connecting liuk be
tween the past and the present.
I passed two or three times under the
window, hoping that grandma would call
me m and tell me some story of her
youth. But J could not gain her atten
tion. Anew thought struck me, and
away I Hew to the apple-bin, and select
ed a large pippin, which I carried as an
apology for my abrupt interruption of
grandma’s reflections. Slightly tapping
at the door, I opened it, and approach
ing her, gave her a kiss and {'resented
my gift.
“ Thank you, Phebe,” said she; “you
hae brought me a favorite present; a
great rosy apple was the talisman that
changei 1 my whole life.”
“Tell me about it,” I pleaded.
“Get your sewing, then, child, and sit
down here at my feet, and I will gratify
you.
“ Many years ago my home was in a
beautiful spot in England. My father
was a farmer, and my earliest remem
brance of childhood is that of being lift
ed up in his arms and placed upon the
back of a horse, where he held me secure
ly while we went around the door yard.
My mother was a delicate woman, very
fragile and fair. Her name was Eliza,
but my father always called her Lilly.—
She died when I was in my sixteenth
year. and from that lime I was sole mis
tress of the mansion, moving about in
my mother’s vacant place, and striving
with all my might to imitate her orderly
ways and gentle manners.
*• Four years the sod had been lying
over my mother, w hen my fa : her brought
a young wife to our home. She was
amiable and pleasant looking, with a
pretty face and w inning voice. Ihid no
jea'ous dislike of a step-mother, and
would not have murmured had the sec
ond wife been in age and dignity the fit
success*.r of the first; bat it grated
harshly against my feelings to see my
stately father, whose brown hair was
thickly -prinkled with gray, taking one
to himself for a wife who might easily
have been taken for his daughter.
“I had a cousin in America, and to
her hospitable home 1 had resolved to
go. My father gave his consent, and
every preparation having been made,
three months after his marriage 1 bade
farewell to my home, and joined a party
of friends who were migrating. It was
a beautiful day in dune when our-vessel
glided from her moorings and set out on
her long journey. VVe were thirty days
upon the sea, and then our eyes and
hearts w ere delighted by the sight of the
green shores of America, which we hail
ed as joyfully as the children of Israel
welcomed the promised land.
“ Friends were waiting to receive and
conduct me to my home, and for a little
while my new life was spent in such
peace that It seemed as if 1 were in
Eden. At the end of a year my cousin
Helen died, and though her husband en
treated me to stay and take care of his
little motherless children, I knew it
would be better for me to go. i went
to the nearest city, New York, and ob
tained employment as a sfainstress and
embroiderer. Several wealthy families
gave me constant work, and paid me lib
eraily. 1 procured a boarding place with
a widow, w ho received a limited number
of young girls into her family, and for
some time my life glided along snH*>thly
and pleasantly.
“ In the summer I went to see a
whose home was near my cousin’s resi
dence. Walking one day in the woods
behind her house, my thoughts busy
with my English home, from which I had
just received a letter, I was somewhat
surprised at the fall of a beautiful apple
directly at my feet. I looked in vain to
find the author of its descent; no one
was near, and having peered through the
trees on every side of me, 1 picked up
the apple and hurried to my friend.
“She laughed at my adventure, and
said that the forests were haunted, and
that fairies sometimes dropped favors to
maidens as they walked under the green
branches. This reply did not satisfy me,
however, and 1 wa k*d in the wood sev
eral days, hoping foi a solution of the
mystery. The day previous to my re
turn was the Sabbath, and I went to
church determined to scan the faces of
my village admirers, and know who had
sent the wonderful apple. Ail looked
perfectly innocent, however, and 1 had
dismissed the subject from my mind, and
prepared to give heed to the words of
the preacher, w hen my attention was di
verted by the entrance of a stranger.—
He was tall and slender, like a young
willow tree. His face was pale, hi>
forehead high and intellectual, and hi- j
dark eves seemed to have so mournful
i
an expression that I was interested in
him directly.
“ When service was over 1 was intro
duced to him by a friend. His name
was Ephraim Conant, and in a moment
1 had appropriated him as my Brownie.
I was mistaken, however. He had ar
rived at Briarville only the night pre
vious, paused to spend the Sabbath
there, and left on the following morning.
I never saw him again, and should proba
bly have forgotten all about him but for
the apple.
“ I left Briarville the next morning,
and for the next few weeks was too much
engaged with my sewing to think of
anything removed from my immediate
sphere. Miss Hrnnant, a fashionable
young lady moving among the wealthy
classes, was to be married shortly, and 1
was embroidering her wedding dress.—
It was very delicate and intricate work
—bunches of roses and twining leaves
from the waist to the bosom of the skirt.
In those da) s the dresses of ladies were
very narrow, three breadths being con
sidered abundant, while the sleeves were
iarge and full.
“ As I said. Miss Roinant’s dress was
very fatiguing work, and occupied all
my time for three months. When it
became too dark to see. I used to slip 'ii
mv bar and shawl and run out for a walk.
Sometimes 1 went quite a distance in or
der to get the fresh air, and drive away
the headache.
“One night, after staying somewhat
later than usual, l returned home and
found, to my surprise, a letter directed
to me. It was not from England, ar.d a
glance convinced me that the writing
was that of a stranger. 1 opened it and
read a few words, as near as I can re
member like these:
“ ‘ Miss Ellen Floyd : If you would
like to see your apple-gatherer of last
summer, meet him to morrow evening at
six o’clock, at the west side of St. Ma
ry s Church. Fear nothing.’
“ There was no signature. Prudence
would have bidden me stay at home and
take no notice of the communication, but
I was a true daughter of Eve, and very
courageous, so I resolved to go. With
quick foot and a slightly trembling heart,
I reached the appointed place. From the
shadow of the church a young man step
ped forth to meet me, shook hands, and
said :
“‘Miss Floyd, I thank you much for
coming here. It is more than 1 could
exp et; but 1 hope I shall give you no
reason to regret it. My name is Francis
Hunter, and I have seen you frequently,
both here and at Briarville.’
“ ‘ Where you tossed me apples from
the green boughs last summer?’
“ 4 Yes,’ said he.”
“ And was that the w-ay you first met
grandpa ? ’ 1 inquired, my mouth and
eyes wide open with surprise.
“That was the way, Phebe. lie walk
ed home with me that evening and called
upon me soon afterwards. We became
better friends day by day, and about a
year after that he persuaded me to leave
embroidering for other ladies, and make |
a beautiful wedding dress for myself—
Soon after that we were married, and
came to live in this very house where I
am now, in my old age, and where 1
lived happily until your dear grandpa *
died. 1 have spent live lonely years
without him, and now am waiting until
the summons comes to call me to meet
him in heaven.”
Grandma Hunter now put down her
knitting, wiped her spectacles, and asked
me to hand her the old family Bible. 1
did s<>. and left her by the window.
Singular t’oltiridem-c.
Death of Postmaster Gen. Brown
and Mr. Marron—The Washington cor- .
re-pondent of the Baltimore Sun relates
the following:
In his office, on fast Saturday four
a ceekx , an incident took place, the solemn
verification of which vividly revives it
in the mind of the only survivor of the
three gentlemen present at the inter
view.
Postmaster General Brown was sign
ing up his official journal—hisclerk stand
i> g on his left, turning over the pages as
each signature was affixed. Mr. Marron
th-n the efficient and vigorous Third As
sistant Postmaster General, having un
der charge at that critical period the im
portant responsibility of the finance di
vision, entered the room to obtain Mr
B’s signature to a draft. Turning to the
right he cheerfully signed the paper, and
Mr. M. was retiring, when the head of
the department remarked, “ Marron, I
wish you would come in and see me when
1 get through with this?”
Being then long after the usual office .
hours, Sir. M. turned and said, “ Do you
wish me to see you again to-day, sir?”
“ Yes,” replied Mr. Brown ; “ 1 want to
know if you have set your house in or
der; for, in a month, or less, we shall
have neither a habitation or a name here.”
Mr. Marron, with a conviction that his
official house was always in order, paus
ed a moment, and with surprise and a
smile, remarked, “My house in order V
“ Yes, sir—your house in order ; for
in a month or less we shall neither have
habitation or a name here.’’ “ Well
Governor,” replied Mr. Marron, “ifthe
storm comes 1 can stand it as w 11 as
others,” and then, pleasantly, left the
room.
The lamented head of the department
then said that his remarks referred to the
action of Congress, indicating the defeat
of important measures then under re
v iew.
How prophetic—lamentably so—was
the prediction of that hour ! On that
very day four weeks, the efficient and
beloved assistant was followed to the
tomb, and now the nation is called to
mourn over the enlightened, patriotic,
virtuous statesman from whose lips, with
so much emphasis, it fell.
Improved Form of Type.
A novel change in the form of type has been
introduced in England. It consists in forming
the letter of the type upon Its feet and side, by
which the composition can lie read as soon as
set up, without the necessity of taking a proof.
The letter formed upon the foot of the type is so
placed that when the type is inverted in the
composing stick, with the embossed or printing
letter removed from the eye of the compositor,
it presents itself to the eye iu the same relative
position with regard to the other letters in the
same line with itself, as it occupies on the prin
ted page. By means of this arrangement there
is no occasion to turn the type to see the let
ters which have been picked up, and no occa
sion to be skilled in reading the surlace of type.
The bac k of the type presec ts letters to the eye
in the propper succession for reading ofl, and if
a mistake bas l>een made, the foot letter at once
discloses the tact. To make this arrangement
perfectly effective, the foot-letter is always an
intaglio or sunken letter, end as the face in
which it is sunk is hardened in the manufac
ture, and receives a stout ooaiiug of silver by
by electrical decomposition, the metalic surface
formed by the teet of the type, presents the ap.-
pearance of a neat but boldly executed engra
ving of a page, identical, as regard* matter,
which a proof would present By means of the
letter on the side, which is also an intaglio, the
type can be immediately distributed from pi and
with tbe greatest ease. When distributed from
pi is going forward, the spaces, which are of
’ steel, lting thin and light will readily be at- ;
tracted by tbe poles of a magnet, passed over
the type, by the distributor, while the type me
tal, not being magnetic, will not embarrass the
work by requiring renova tioD. — Rrchange.
The Spurgeon speculation is likely to le
knocked on the head, by a false step on tbe
part of the distinguished preacher at the start.
He has been foolish enough to write—ao it is
said—a letter to his friends here, announcing
his intention to pitch into the slave owners
without mercy, and to do his best before lie re
turns to Exeter Hall, to “put a whip in every
honest man’sdiand to lash the rascals naked
through the world.” If this statement he true.
Rev. Mr. Corey intimated it was—iu the 18th
Street Baptist church, N. Y. last Sunday even
ing—Mr. Spurgeon would do well to indefini
tely postpone his visit to this heathen laud
We have enough of philanthropists ol that
class here already, without justilying auy addi
tions to them by foreign importation.
N. P. Willis os I’niwimkonn—One of the
first of my Virginia expcriaocc* was the very
new sonant on of eating a pMiiuma. By its
frequent mention in negro songs, this fruit has
become classic, and 1 was as interested iu last
ing it. as the traveller in Italy with Ins first
pluck of a ripe tig. li resembled a am*ll apple
as soon hanging upon the loudest* twig. though
the trees grows taller and with more spready
branches than the apple tree. There wore
pleuty of them iu the fields, as wo drove past
the com plantations in the open country, aud
our tneud and conductor kindly jumped ove~
the rail fence aud brought tue a handful.—
What this fruit can especially be inteuded for
by uature. I am a liitlo embarrassed to uuder
siaud—possibly to close the gate after enough
has entered—for. of all the contractile agents,
this seems to be the most puckery and unre
laxing. The mouth aud lips are draw r n so ob
stinately together, by eating a persimmon, that
it would be difficult to follow it, even with “a
drink;” though I am sure that all its effects are
so preventive, and the traveller, for the next
mile or two after tbe taste of it, looks very
much as if getting ready for a kiss—a kiss,
however, of which till the lips relax, the secret
is very sure to be kept! Now why would not a
persimmon kiss (so called from this sweet les
son of Nature to “kiss but never tell.”) be a
very handy phrase for common usage ?— Home

Courting ox a Railroad Thirty Mii.es ax
Hour!—The Cinciunatti Gazette of the 19th,
says: An incident occurred on the Little Miami
Railroad yesterday morning, which outstrips, in
point of speed an enterprise, although in some
what a different field, the lightning express,
“fifty cents a mile,” special train achievement
which attended the delivery of the recent fa
mous defalcation “report'’ in this city*. The
facts are about thus: A lady somewhat passed
that period of life which would term “young,”
although she might differ with them, was on her
way to this city, for purposes connected with
active industry. At a point on the.roada travel
er took the train who happened to enter the
car in which the young lady occupied a seat.
After walking up and down between the scats,
the gentleman found uo unoccupied seat except
the one-half of that upon which the lady had
deposited her precious self and crinoline—the
latter very modestly expansive. Making a vir
tue of necessty—a “stand-ee” berth or a little
self-assn ranee—he modestly inquired if the lady
had a fellow-traveler, and took a seat.
As the train Hew along with express speed,
the two strangers entered into a cozy conversa
tion, and mutual explanations. The gentleman
whs pleased and rhe lady certainly did not pout.
After other subjects had been discussed and
worn threadbare, the lady made inquiries as to
the price of a sewing-machine, and where such
an article could be purchased in the citv The
gentleman ventured the opinion that she had
“better secure a husband first” This opened
the way for another branch of conversation,and
i the broken field was industriously cultivated.
By the time the train arrived at the depot in
the city, the gentleman had proposed and been
accepted, although the lady afterwards declared
she regarded it as a good joke. Tbe parties
separated; the gentleman, ail in good earnest,
, started for a license, and the lady made her way
to a boardinghouse, on Broadway, above third
street for a dinner. At 2 o’clock, the gentle
man returned with a license and a Justice, to
the great astonishment of the fair one,and after
a few tears and half reraonstrstive expressions I
she submitted with becoming modesty, and
the Squire performed the little ceremony in a—
twinkling.
Last eveniug the happy couple departed for
Louisville.cn route for New Orleans and Califor
nia. If this is uot a fast country, a search war
rant would hardly succeed in finding one.
A Baptist Minister Deposed. The
Baptist Church at Lexington, Ya., having
been informed, on what is regarded as relia
ble authority, that the deportment of E. T.
Mason has been inconsistent with the posi
tion he occupies as Minister of the Baptist
denomination, and believing that his longer
recognition as a minister of the denomina
tion will be hurtful to the interests of the
said denomination, withdraws its fellowship
from him. —Petersburg Express.
Deposed from the Ministry. —The
Charlottesville Advocate says:—“After a
long and laborious investigation of charges
preferred against the Rev. Isaac S. Tinsley,
affecting his character while pastor of one of I
the country churches, the Baptist Church of
this place, of which he is a member, deposed
him, on Tuesday last, from the office of Min
ister of the Gospel.— lb.
At Anderson, X. J., a young Methodist
Clergyman is suspected of having murdered
his own wife, who was recently found dead
under mysterious circumstances. He had
been married to the deceased al>out six
months, and, as appears from evidence, was
married against his will, but being held by
the marriage contract, he had either to sus
tain the loss of character or marry'. He
chose the latter. A short time previous to
his marriage he came to*reside with a Mr.
Ramsey, near this place. Residing also in
the family of Mr. R. was a young lady
named Smith, with whom, it appears, Har
den formed an attachment almost immedi
ately, which was not broken up upon Har
den's marriage, but allowed to grow until it
has, doubtless, ripened into a guilty and
desperate love. Harden has escaped.
Alleged Fulfillment of two Dreams.—
A correspondent of the Missouri Republican re
lates a singular instance of the alleged fulfill
ment of dreams. A Mr. K ,of that city,
about a year since, had a dream that there was
a spring near Alton, or Altona, iu Illinois, that
would cure him of a pMinlul disease with which
he had been afflicted for five years. On the
morning sfter the dream. Mr. K.’s wife told him
she was much troubled at not recollecting some
thing that she had dreamed that would cure
him. Struck with this coincidence, he wrote
to the Postmaster of Alton, of which place he
had uot heard of before, to make enquiries into
the matter; aud the result was, he learned that
there was such a spring on the farm of Major
Long, at a place once called Altona, and long
known for the virtues of its mineral waters.—
Thither the invalid went, aud by a judicious
use of the waters, diet and exercise, he im
proved so rapidly in health that iu the course
of five weeks he could walk ten miles, and he
was speedily restored to a state of robust
health.
Sunday.—We find the following “afloat”
without anything to indicate it paternity. It
contains a whole volume of truth. Read it,
Pharisaical friend, aud then to your closet:
A week filled up with selfishness, and the
Sabbath stuffed full of religious exercises, will
make a good Pharisee, but a poor Christian. —
There are many persons who think Sunday is
a sponge, with which to wipe out tbe stains of
the week. Now God's altar stands from Sun
day to Sunday, and the seventh day is no more
for religion than any other. It is for rest.—
The wholfe seven are for religion, aßd one of
them for rest.
An Incident.—We have heard the following
incident related of a young and gallant Charles
tonian, which we deem too good to keep.—
Young Charleston was travelling on an Ala
bama steam lsrat, when he learned that M ile
Piccolomini was upon the same boat. With
propriety and dc-corum he availed himself of an
introduction to her, aDd became much pleased
with the Siennese Princess. During the trip
the boat stopped to wood up, near a bank where
tbe jessamine hung in rich profusion, which in
stantly attracted MT.e Piccolom ini’s attention.
They were the first she had seeD, and she ex
pressed a strong desire for a wreath of them
Chivalric and gallant, our young townsman
proffered his services. They were accepted,
and he left the boat for the garland. A few
mill logs lie ; n the stream, just under the rich
est and most beautiful of the flowers. As our
friend had secured a splendid specimen of the
jessamine, of deep golden hue, he discovered
the logs beneath gently floating. In his haste
to escape they began to turn, and he soon found
himself soused to the neck in the waters of the
South. With a smart swim he gained the
shore, and then the boat, upon which, all drip
ping, he presented his boquet. With a be
witching smile, Piccolomini accepted the bo
quet, and said, “I ver’ mooch sorry you git vet,
but zayap botiful” Our young townsman
saved a leaf, which he treasures as a memento.

Mormon Love Song.
The Valley Tan , published at Salt Lake
City, came into possession of the following
lines, addressed by a Mormon lover to his
new flame, who seems slightly reluctant to
lie made “sixteen” ol his little family.
Say, Busan, wilt thou come with me, in
sweet community to live? Os heart and
head, and home to thee, a sixteenth part
r 111 freely give.
Os all llie love that swells my breast,of all
the honor of my name; of worldly weabh
by mo possessed, a sixteenth portion thou
Shalt claim.
Nay tell me not foo many share the bless
ing* that I offer you. Tnou’lt find but fif
teen others—a household happy, gay, and
true.
A moderate household, I may say ; my
neighbor has many more, and Brother Brig
ham, o’er the way, luxuriates in forty-four
I promise thee a life of ease,and for thyself
I'll let thee Hi -ose sueli duties as thy fancy
please; Susan can'st thou still refuse?
Sophronia cooks and sweeps the floors,
and llepsibath makes up the beds, Jemima
answers all tbe doors, and Prudence combs
the children's heads.
The house hold duties all devolve on each
according to her lot; but from such labors
1 11 absolve my Susan, if she likes them not.
Into thy hands such tasks as shall give
dignity will I consign ; i ll let thee black my
boots, or make the sock aud shirt depart
ment thine.
I’ll give thee whatsoe’er thou wilt—so it
is but a sixteenth part ; ’twould be the deep
est debt of guilt, to slight the rest who share
my heart.
Then wilt thou not the fraction yield to
make up my domestic bliss ? Say yes—and
let our joy be sealed with just the sixteenth
of a kiss.

Making an Ackowledgement.—Not many
years ago, a young man at a seminary in one
of the New England States was found guilty of
disobeying the rules of the school, as he had
actually walked with a young lady, contrary
to orders previously given, and perfectly well
understood!
Mr. Edwards (as we will call him) was ac
cordingly called upon to make acknowledge
ments before the school or be expelled. Where
upon, the said Mr. Edwards arose, and said:
“ I prefer by all means making an acknow
ledgement that I walked with the lady mentioned
and with my umbrella protected her trom the
storm ! I also acknowledge that had I not done
so, she might have taken cold, and a serious
illness, or perhaps consumption, might, have
been the result, in which case I should have
blamed myself, aud my teachers, knowing the
circumstances, might also have blamed me.”
The student resumed his seat with about as
strong evidence of contrition iu his counten
ance as was in the confession, and when a
proper opportunity occurred, he inquired of one
of the teachers how near a young lady and gen
tleman could walk, and not break the rules of
the school.
“ Well,” said the teacher, “walking a dis
tance ot six feet from a ladv would not be con
sidered an infringement of our regulations. - ’
Soon after, Mr. Edwards was seen walking
leisurely on the common, with a lady, he hav
ing hold of one end of a light polo, measurin';
six feet in length, while his lady had hold o’
the other end!
As they carried about the stick (which, in
fact, was no impediment to their enjoyment.)
they chatted and walked and laughed, and ,
walked and laughed and chatted to their hearts’
content, but Mr. Edwards was never called
upon to make but one acknowledgment.
[Olive Branch.
A College Joke
One of the earliest Presidents of Jefferson
College, Penn., was the venerable Dr. McMillan,
a man of great gravity and dignity of manners.
In those early times it was customary for the 1
students, when meeting the President, to re
move the hat from the head, place it under the
left arm, make a profound bow, and pass the
complimeuts of the day.
Among the students was Tom Devon, an
eccentric fellow. His father was rich, and as
I Tom was always “ flush with money,” tbe
height of his ambition was to sport a gold head- j
ed cane and gallant the old Greek professor’s j
daughters.
The term student, which he bore in common
with the other members of the college was a
misnomer. Tom’s mind was more deeply en
grossed with back gammon, checkers, and “old
sledge,” than with his mathematics, aud he j
was more deeply read in the lore of Chester- i
field than in that ot Homer aDd Virgil. In fact,
he was a shallow-brained, lily handed fop, and
as may be supposed, a great favorite with a
certain class of ladies who mistake impertinence ;
for wit, and fine clothes and affected manners
for refinement and solid accomplishments.
But our tale. Tom was one day walking
down the street arm in arm with his friend, j
John Smith who had a piece ot the wag about
him. Seeing the President a few paco3 before ;
them, Tom hastily enquired—
“Smith, what is ‘good morning, sir,’ in Lat
in ?”
“Ego sum stcltus,” was the reply, without
a moment’s hesitation.
Meeting the President, Tom after the most
approved donkevism, at the same time making
a profound salaam, greeted him with—
“ Ego sum stultup!”
“I am aware of it,” responded the President j
making a slight bow.
This proving rather unsatisfactory, Tom pos
ted off to the room of his triend Bylcs whom he
saluted with—
“ Deacon, what is the translation of this sen
tence— ‘Ego sum stultus.’”
“‘I am a Fool I’” responded the unsophis- 1
ticated “Deacon,”
This fold the whole story. As novel wri
ters say, Tom’s feelings may be more easily im
agined than described.
Whether the students bored him about it or
not, and whether the professor’s daughters ev- |
er heard it or not, “deponent sayeth not,” but
history recordeth that the next flat bottomed ;
boat that went down the Ohio bore Tom as a
Passenger.
A Curious Dream Story.
Miss H. B. was on a visit to Miss Andre,
and being very intimate with the lattershared .
her bed. One night she was awakened by the
violent sobs of her companion, and upon en
treating to know tbe cause, she said, “ I have
seen my dear brother; and he has been taken
prisoner.” It is hardly nocessary to inform the
reader that Maj. Andre was then with the
British army during the heat of the American
war. Miss B. soothed her friend, and both lell
asleep, when Miss Andre once more started up,
exclaiming. “They are trying him as a spy,”
and she described the nature of the court, the
proceedings ol the judge and prisoner, with the
greatest minuteness. Once more the poor sis’
ter’s terrors were calmed by her friend’s ten
der representations, but a third time she awoke
screaming that they were hanging him as a spy
on a tree and in his regimentals, with many
other circumstances ! There was no more sleep
for the friends; they got up and entered each
in their own pocket-book the particulars stated
by the terror stricken sister with the and ites, and :
both agreed to keep the source of their preseu
timeuts aud fears from the poor mother, fondly
hoping they were indeed built on “ the fabric
of a vision.” But, alas! as soon as news, in
those days, could cross the Atlantic, the fatal
tidings came, and to tho deep awo as well as i
sad grief of the young ladies, every circumstance
was exactly imparted to them as had been
shadowed forth in the fond sister’s sleeping
fancy, aud had happened on the very day pro
ceeding the night of her dream! The writer
thinks this anecdote lias not been related by
Miss Seward, Dr. Darwin, or the Edgeworths,
father and daughter, who have all given to the
public many interesting events in the brilliant
but brief career of Major Andre.
j
A beautiful girl—beautiful in youth and
health aud purity—who wakes from sleep, at
touch of morning light, as the flowers do,
with a cheerful face; whose first tones, like
those f the birds, are the most musical of the
’ day from whose brow every trace of yesterday’s j
wear and last night s care is sw-pt away, even
as the face of nature is renewed and brightened
by the summer dew—such a girl is worth the
winning.
Lord Byron made a comparison of divers lan
guages with music. “The* Russian tongue,” j
said be, “was like a kettle-drum: the German
like a base-viol; French, as a wedding-hymn;
the Italian like an Aeolian harp: the English
only being the human voice.” On the con- j
irary, Heine gives the following. He says; j
“Take a word into tho mouth, turn it around
therein, and spit it out: that’s English.”
The pang of a moment becomes intolerable
when we know of nothiug beyond the moment
which it soothes us to anticipate.
