BY Jem B KEN. “It's a poor time to crouk, darling, •on the very eve of your wedding/ said Mrs. Minturn, looking <lowu at the bemtilul girl wlw* had thrown herself at her feet, resting the little head on her lap, while she toyed with the lux¬ uriant chestnut hair ; “but, oh, Queen lie, do you realize how serious is the lespoimilility which now rests with you V 'Does not my -name auwwer for me auntie?’ laughingly refilled the guL— ‘Did you not all give it t« me., <doelar iiug tliis was my l’ttle kingdom ?

And, a J u< i aent after, all sorrow was forgotten -sthe eyes, flashing now, dwelt on the c »ie of jewels she had received as her wedding gift. 'V or thy they were the white neck 1 ’* arms of the next day’s bride.— ^ueeuie Clayton had said truly, ihe h*id reigned in her own kingdom her hfe long —reigned willfully always, ‘'imperiously at times, but with subjects 1 at loved her well and why, ; as Queenie Mitchell, when all things look e 80 bright, so promising ^why even SUtl riared not hide himself to-day) should an« thing be changed ? She was so proud, so fond, of handsome husband, as she stood by bis side, *e*ming snow-drop in white satin robes, receiving the con K 1 atulations of their many ‘ afterward it was like some r u dream, when they cculd k ‘ave them all behind, and spend lo ... where. |‘o Weeks here, thtre aud Then th er « vyas the ' " v-’l It i - lb Ms J m m t ItltF ♦ Qfb ♦ i That was sweet too ; and the beauti¬ ful new home, her father's gift, was furnish" d throughout by his most gen¬ erous hand. ‘Vance, dear/ she said, one morning a few weeks after they had returned, ‘can't I have my own carriage? I hate to be always sending for father’s, and I'm tired of walking* ‘I do not see how we can quite af. ford it Queenie/ He too had adopted the pot home name. ‘Why, Vance, we are rioh, are we not ? And I want it so much/ 'We are certainly not poor, dear— only it does not do for a young man to branch out too much. And you know darling, there was a wild time in my life, people have not quite forgot* ten / ‘But I do not care for people, Vanec. This is for me, not yon/ The young husband answered noth¬ ing ; but the next day Mrs. Mitchell’s ponies stood before her door. She had said truly she was to have only one more loyal, more devoted sub¬ ject Vance Michell’s love for his wife grew with each passing hour. He re¬ membered hers always as the hand that had ch-ecked him in his downward path, and yet she seemed so fragile, so slight a thjag, beside his manly «t*neogtiu that it was as though some pti-cTons fftayttfl&hag had been intrusted to his care. So the years passed on, and one by one two baby subjects were added to the kingdom—two lovely baby boys, with their father's eyes, their mother’s sunny liair—-only the queen bent now befor** her subjects. She was the adorer —they the adored. The home circle is radiant with hap¬ piness, and Vance Mitchell’s past, those few years of folly and wild oats, were forgotten. But is there ever a cloud less sky ? ‘You look tire I, Vance, said Queenie o ne evening. Shall I •end the children aw.ay ? ‘No, dear J‘ drawing them closer as ha spoke! They rest rather than tire me; but bu’ 8 i ,ie s s has been more troub¬ lesome lately. T li re are s> many failures that we’ scarcely know whom to trust. ‘Oh, dont talk business to me, Vauce!

I wonder if she would give up the carriage/ But, opening the door # his heart failed him as it thrilled before the pic¬ ture that met his eyes There Queen ie sat, in her faultless dinner toilet— she had never failed in tier duty of looking pretty for her husband—for two lovely boys, ono on each arm of her chair, the three faces bright with joy at his coming. ‘Bless them !’ he murmured, in his heart. ‘Can I not work indeed for such a home-coming as th's ?' ‘Vance/ exclaimed his wife, ‘I have a plan—think of it I Come, you must say yes before I ever disclose it.

Now you shut up those horrid mills and go away.* ‘For once, dear, yo\t ask an absolute impossibility.

'May 1 really? It will only be for a year, you know. Are you sure you can spare us ?’ ‘Sure that I can do anything for your best happiness/ he answered gravely. ‘But are you sure that you have indeed set your heart upon it ?’ <£9 sure, fhat I shall not give ypn EASTMAN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1S79. any time to repent, because you know Mre are to sail next week . 1 ‘You are doing wrong, Queenie/ said her aunt, as the two sat alone to* gethcr the morning before the steamer was to sail. ‘Yon must forgive roe, dear^ but young wife's place is by her husband‘s side, She is a bulwark of defense to him, and guards him from a thousand evils of which she little dreams. Do give up this trip, darling, even now/ ‘Give it up I Why, auntie, what an idea 1 As it Vance coiltd not do wlth out me for a year. But Mrs. Minturn sadly and disap¬ provingly shook her head. 'Only a year !‘ thought Vance Mitch ell at the end of the first month of his enforced bachelorhood. 'Queenie thought it such a little time. Eleven more months to live through without her. How can I do it ? But business cares pressed heavier and heavier. How could he write his young wife that the constant demands she made upon him taxed all his re¬ sources to meet them ? She was hav¬ ing such a perfect time, she wrote, that were it not for him she would pro¬ long her stay indefinitely. The house was closed now. He could not bear its cheerless, empty rooms ; and now that he must have his shoulder so constantly to the wheel, he ha;l fitted up a bed in the office at the mills, actually sleeping on a couch in the bare little room where he labored all day at his desk. Yet with how lit¬ tle result. Darker and darker grew the storm clouds, because of the demands by the unconscious wife in her selfishness, until was it wonder the demon at bis elbow tempted him on and on, holding before his hungry eyes the glass to forgetfulness—-that at last his strength gave way, and he drained it to the dregs. “ Come home at once.’* This was the telegram Queem" Mitchell received ten months after she had sailed. It was signed by her aunt and she dared not disobey it. Twenty days after she had read it, she stood on the New York pier. Where was her husband ? Could this be ho—this man with trembling step and haggard face ? She almost started as he called her name. ‘I have bad news for you, darling, he said. Our beautiful home is gone, \N e will have to begin life together, Queenie. Can you bear it ? \\ hat did he mean ? Was tins to be hei home looking round on the plain* ly but comfortably-furnished rooms to which he brought her, aud thinking how oddly would look the Paris dress es with which her trunks were so rich ly lined on the worn carpels. But worse was at hand Only a week, and one night Vance came ! i0 rae with reeling step and eyes wide’ A told their own tale Ihe old ene ra y k a( j regained his foothold in \hose past months of suffertug, aud w not easily shaken off. Patience and long p offering must do their wifely work, but Queenie h^d forgotten ihi*.

Alas ! d ay followed cfoy \pitil a^he grew to ] 0G k j Qr hideous semb¬ lance c A her husband, but no words of entreaty passed her lips. She received always in oold x inqpeyious dis ' Jain. But one night he determined to ask her for her help once more to overcome this thing--to tefi her how he had been driven to it by loneliness aud bis despair. He entered hia rooms. They were empty, A cold ehift struok his heart. A note was lying on the table. With trembling fingers he unloosed the seal and read : have gone home, Yance, to my father's house, where I have always a welcome. You have driven me to this atop. I hare taken my children, that they may not know their father's shame. God pity and forgive you !* For three days, the man knew noth¬ ing, as he drowned memory in the enp. Then he Awakened to consciousness and sudden loathing of that whioh he had craved. 'Qed help me to be strong l> This was his prayer as he worked day and night, striving to redeem his fortunes ‘When I can give her all that she hus lost, I will ask her to forgive me and come back to me/ Thus ne calmly seasoned, laying all blame, in bis humility, at his own door. His wife, riding in her father’s car¬ riage, onoe rolled by him on the street. Entering a store he called for branily, but went out, leaving it untouched His strength had conquered. Little t>y little hope gleamed in the dark ness. If it were not for this terrible cough he had contracted sleeping in the of¬ fice, he thought, he might be almost himself Again ; f >r, when he had told Qneenic al! # slu surely would forgive him. Poor fellow ! One day, trying to rise he found himself too weak to rise, he found himself too weak to dress' and parched and feverish, tossed on his lonely bed for weeks, while the doctors shook their heads. ‘Will you not tell Queenie I am ill V he said, one day. So they sent for her. The old, hard look of Scorn was in her eyes as she entered the room, but as they rested on his face it vanished, and unuttera ble pity took its place, as a voice with¬ in her said, ‘This is my work 1 ' and with a sad cry she fell on her knees by his side. ‘My darling 1' he whispered, ‘forgive me ! Only tell me you forgive me.— I was trying to do better. You can never dream how lonely it was without you' 'Oh, Vance!' she sobbed, 'I forgive you everything. Only live for my sake ! ‘My boys,* he said. ‘I want them/ and when they had come ho silently gathered them in his arms. 'Comfort your mother 1 ' he murmured. Then, with one last, lingering glance of adoration at the beautiful woman beside him, the weary soul was at rest. ‘Vance ! Vance !' she piteously wail¬ ed : ‘open your lips just once to tell me I am forgiven —1 who left you in my selfishness—I who cared nothing, thought nothing, of your loneliness and suffering My darling ! And you asked me to forgive you. Oh, come back ! Just once say that I, your wife, am forgiven. But merciless, and in one woman's heart rc«ts ever the torture of “ihe might have beer/’—the knowl¬ edge that he who asked at her hands to t c forgiven stood, truly in the par doner's place, ------- ■ ■ —---— A Drunken Gobbler. A Glenbnrn farmer, says a Bangor, Me., paper, came into the city recently, and among other things purchased some vice and a pint of whisky* Fearing that the bottle might get broken on the way Lome, he placed it in the box containing the rice* When he reached home and took the box from the pung he ftound that the stopple had got out of the bottle, and the rice and whisky were thoroughly mixed. He dumped the rice behind the ham, a,nd in a short time a huge turkey cam*! along and, as he was not as particular as the lar mer, gobbled up the medicated rice, Shortly after tbifethe farmer was great ly surprised to find the turkey lying aut^behind the barn 'dead as a door nail/ and rowing vengeance cm the man who sold him whisky rank enough to kill a turkey, he cat ted the bird in¬ to the house. The farmer was soon after*aid seen carrying the naked bird—as every feather was gone with th§ exception of -wings and tail—out behind the stable where be left it the snow. The next morning when he entered the stable, it being hardly light, he detected what he thought was the ghost of the intemperate tur¬ key, and could almost feel his hair rise; but he made up bis mind to investgate the matter and boldly advanced. Im¬ agine h’s surprise, on getting nearer, to discover the bird shivering on the roost and looking at him with re proacfiful eyes for having stolen his clothes while hopelessly drunk. At last accounts the turkey was doing as "*ell as could he expected during zero weather. A Cure for Love, Take one gram of Sense, half grain of Prudence, an ounce of Patience, a pound of Resolution, a handful of Dis¬ like; mix them together and fold them up in your brain lor 24 hours,and then •train them clean of the dregs of Mel¬ aucholy, and set them on a slow fire af Hatred and sweeten them with For getfulness, then put them in the battle of your heart, stopping them with the cork of Sound Understanding^ and let stand H days iu toe wa era of Cold Affection. This remedy, when rightly made and properly applied, will cure. Iugredients may be found by going up the Hill of Self-Denial, in the House of Understanding, on Constant Street, in the Town of Love. Facts for the Curious. The greyhound runs by eyesight on ly; this we observe as a fact. The carffer-pigeon flies his two hundred and fifty miles by eyesight—namely, from point to point of objects which he has marked; but this is only our conjecture. The fierce dragon fly, with twelve thousand lenses in his cyeSj darts from angle to angle with the rapidity of a flashing sword, and us rapidly darts back, not turning in the air, but with a clash, reversing the action ot his wings, and instantaneous¬ ly calculating the distance of objects, or he would dash himself to pieces* But in what conformation of the eye does this consist? No one cau answer. A cloud of ten thousand gnats dance tip and down in the sun, the minutest interval between them, yet no one knocks another headlong upon the grass or breaks a leg or wing, long and delicate as they are. Suddenly amid your admiration of this match¬ less dance, a peuliarly high-shouldered gnat, with long, pendant nose, darts out of the rising and falling cloud, and settling on your cheek, inserts a poi¬ sonous sting. What possesses the lit¬ tle wretch to do this? Did he smell your blood in the mazy dance? No one knows. A carriage comes sud¬ denly upon a flock of geese on a nar¬ row road, and drives straight through the middle of them. A goose was never yet fairly run over, nor a duck. They are under the very wheels and hoofs, and yet somehow they contrive to flap and waddle safely off. Habit¬ ually stupid, heavy and indolent, they are nevertheless equal to the emergen¬ cy. Why does the lonely woodpeck¬ er, when he descends his tree and goes to drink, stops several times on his way, listen and look around before he takes his draught? No one knows. How is it that the species ol ant which is taken in battle by other ants to be made slaves, should be black or negro ants? No one knows. The power of judging of actual dan¬ ger, and the free and easy boldness which result from it, are by no means uncommon. Many birds seem to have a most correct notion of a gun's range, and while scrupulously careful to keep beyoud it, confine their oaution to this though the most obvious resource would be to fly right away out of sight and hearing, which they do not choose to do. And they sometimes appear to make even an ostentatious use of their flower* fairly putting their wits and cleverness in antagonism to that of man tor the benefit of their fellows. We lately vend an account, by a natu¬ ralist in Brazil, of an expedition he made to one of the islands of the Am. azon to shoot spoonbills, ibeses apd other of the grallatorial birds which were most abundant there. His de¬ sign was completely baffled, however, by a wretched little sandpiper that preceded him, continually uttering his tell tale cry, which at onoe aroused all the birds within hearing. Through¬ out the day, dil this individual bird continue his self-imposed duty of sen* tinel to others, effectually preventing the approach of the fowler to the game, and yet managing to keep out of the range of his gun. For Husbands. Do i‘t think when yo,u have won a wife that you have won a slave. Don't think that your wife has less feeling than your sweetheart. Her relation to you is changed, not her na¬ ture. Dont think that you can dispense with all the littlecivililiesof life toward her on marrying. She appreciates those things quite as much as other women. Dont be gruff and rude at home.— Had you been that sort of a fellow be¬ fore marriage, ihe probabilities are th^t you would he sewing on your own buttons yet. Dont make yonr wife feel that she is an incumbrance on you by giving her grudgingly. What she needs give as cheerlully as if it were a pleasure so to do. She will feel better and so will you. Dont meddle in the affair* of the house in her charge. You have no m°re right to be poking your nose in' to the kitchen than she has to walk in to your pEoe of business and give di¬ sections to your employees, Dont find fault with her extrava gance in ribbons, &c., until you have shut down on cigars, tobacco, whis¬ key, &c.

Moses wrote Genesis, Exodus, Lev iticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Joshua, Piiinehas or Eleazar wrote the book of Joshua, but it is not cer¬ tain which of them. Samuel is the penman of the books of Judges and Ruth. He also wrote the first acts of David, and probably Nathan and Gad wrote his last acts; and the whole was formed into two books,which were named after Samuel^ as the most eminent person, called the first and second books ot Samuel. Jeremiah most probably compiled the two books of Kings. Ezra compiled the two books of the Chronicles. He is also author of the book bearing his name. Nehemiah wrote Nehemiah. The author of the book of Esther is unknown. Elihu was n.ost probably the pen men of the book of Job. Moses may have written the first two chapters and the last. Some think Job wrote it himself. David wrote most of the book of Psalms. Asaph penned a few of them. Solomon wrote Proverbs, Ecclesias tea and the Songs of Solomon. Isaiah is the author of tire prophecy oflsaiah. Jeremiah wrote the book bearing his name, and the Lamentations of Jere¬ miah. Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, probably Jonah, Mioah, Na¬ hum, liabakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, wrote the books of prophet cies bearing their respective names. Mathew, Mark, Luke and John wrote the gospels named after them. Luke wrote the Acts of the Apostles. Paul is the author of the Epistles to the Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Phiiippians, Oolossians, Thessalonians, Timothy, Titus, Phile¬ mon and Hebrews. James, the son of Alpheus, who was cousin german to Christ, and one of the Apostles, wrote the Epistles of Janies. Peter Wrote the epistle bearing his name. The Apostle John wrote the three Epistles of John. Jude, the Apostle, the brother of James, called also Lebbeus, whose surname wasThaddeus, a near relative to our Lord, wrote the Epistle of Jude* St, John, the Divine, wrote the Rev¬ elation. Self-I ni pro ve men t. A wAnt of thoroughness in whatev¬ er study is undertaken is, perhaps, one great cause or tfost failures. A prac¬ tical writer gives tti“ following direc¬ tions: Never leave wha?- J’ ou under¬ take to learn, until you can r/ach your arms around it and clench your iVands on the other side. It is not the arnoun' of reading yon run over that makes you learned; it is ibe araonnt you con¬ solidate with your previonioly acquired kno wledge. Dr. Abcrnetliy ed that there was a point of in the mind beyond which it is not ca pable of taking more, and that what¬ ever was pressed upon it afterward crowded out something else. Every teaoher should endeavor to perfect h;mself m the science of the !business he has chosen. Without this he must always content himselfin the lower walks of his eatling. The cost of things he can spare will buy all the books he lequires, and his own dili¬ gence may be to supply the rest. But steady labor is necessary: without it the best and greatest libraries in the world cannot manufacture him into a scholar. If once going over a point will not master it, he must tackle it again. Better give a week'* study to a page than lo conclude you cannot comprehend it. But though it is wise to give your main strength to your own specialty, you should not confine yourself to such studies exclusively. The perfection of your powers should be your aspira¬ tion. Those who can only think and talk on one subject may be efficient in their line; but they are not agree¬ able members of society in any of its departments. Neither have they made the most of themselves. They become one-sided aud narrow io their views, and are reduced to a humiliating de¬ pendence on one branch of industry. It costs nothing to carry knowledge; and in times like these, to be aide put his hand to more than one branch of industry often serves a man a good turn. -***** Of course the horse marines are mounted on fl iet horses.
