And so she muiried him. The wed*
ding was n very plensant affair—
something to look buck tons long us
they lived. Mnttie looked v$ry sweet
in Inr new white Swiss. Her long,
jetty ourls trembled und shone in
the brilliant light, her eyes sparkled
like twin slurs, ntid her soft cheeks
were muulled in softer blushes us she
leumd trustingly on the strong arm
of.the stalwatt, mnn who was to be

Tne honeymoon was licit with the
p'eusures of new married life to the
humble pair, but the time soon came
when the bride must leave the old
roof tree for the untried realities of
u home of her own. This was the
iiiat sorrow—the trial ol leaving home
and mother—but it was fleeting, for
in the (xcitement of “setting-up”
housekeeping in ihe white cottage
on Squire Blackburn’s farm, the lit
tle sorrow w«is diowned.
it was very funny, und Marsh
laughed and Mattie laughed, when
iust they two sat down to the lit'le
new table und ate the viands prepar
ed bv Mattie's own hands.
Everything was new and strangely
sweet. Everything went on nicely,
and Mattie was triumphant. Jtut
all thingseartbly most
weather grew wurtn and
hot, and one ot the hottest days of
the season Mattie hud the headache,
and the supper must be ready at flve
o'clock* Mattie tried to gel it ready,
but burned her wrist ; then she burn
ed Ike bread. Then she looked at
the clock, and saw that it had stop*
ped, and looking out ut the door she
saw Marsh.
,‘Js sapper ready?’ he usked, and
sheMi bitted out something, and they
had thei? first quarrel.
Oh, dear me, the first quat re). Row
sorry il made the little woman.
But Maislt looked sullen, utid went
>fl without kissing her. They never
tulkid that quarrel over, simply be
cause they wore both too proud to
broach Oiesuhject. After thut quar
rels came ofteuer and easier. They
did not mean to quarrel, but some
how angry words would come up.
After awhile a little boy came to
tln ir household, and it seemed for a
month or two a good deal like the
well rememb red honeymoon ; but
Mattie’s wretched temper would fly
to pieces again, and the happiness
was spoiled.
‘It's curious we can’t get along
without si much quarrelling,’ said’
Marsh, one winter day.
Mattie fell the Lars in her eyes in
a motmiit, and her heart softened to*
the snow-covered fields to her moth
er’s.
‘What's the matter, child ?’ usked
her mother, us'Muttie, pale and shiv
ering, appeared ut the door.
‘Don’t ask tne, mother,’ sobbed
the Wretched lit'le woman.
‘You uio’t left home?’ ’
‘Yes, mother, forever.’
‘Don’t say that to'me. You shall
go hack this infant,’said her tnoth
er thinking ot the scandal that was
sure to follow such a proceeding by
her miserable daughter.
‘Oh,, don’t mother,’ und Mattie
looked the picture of despair.
•Tvll me ubout it, my child/ said
the mother, melted into tenderness
by the look.
Then Mattie, through her tears,
told her mother all, aud ended with
these pitiful words—
‘But oh, mother, I do love him,
thefuther ol my child—I do love
him, but he doeseu’t understand me,
It he could but understand nn 1’ and
she fell sobbing beside her mother’s
knee. ♦. . 7;
‘Let me advise you my child,’ said
the mother,softly strokinglier daugb

1 the kitchen fcgo up. betgtvn hu.baa*
id wile, and often words are spoken
that are regretted a moment after
wards. But, iny child, such a word
can do no barm, if repented and a
confession made, If you hove said
anything to wound your httsbnad’s
feelings, no matter w rat he may
have said to you, go aud tell him you
ure sorry, aud I kuow thut he will no*
only forgive you hut will beg you to
forgive him. The hour thet follows
will he inure delightful thau the
hour of your wedding. Let me tell
you of u little instance in my own
life.’
And her mother (old of one of
those little fumily differences that
come up between so maty worthy
couples. The story ended so pleas
antly that it soothed Lire tempest in
the breast of the heart-sick daugh
ter..
After the story was done, Mattie
still kneeled, resting her tired head
on her mother’s knee. Her mother
stroked her glossy hair in sileuce for
a quarter of an hour, but Matiie’s
thoughts were busy. Suddenly she
arose, took her child into her arms
and wrapped it close in her shawl, and
prepared to go,
‘Where are you going, my child ?’
nsked her mother.
‘To make my confession,’ answer*
at once.
‘Mattie I’ve been—'
'Marsh ,I*n» sorry—’
Their eyes met, and each saw the
tenderness in those of the other; all
was uow told tn an instant. Both
made their cofession.
Mursh opened his arms and Mat-
tie fell sobbing ou his breast, while
baby looked on in amazement. From
that hour they were the happiest of
couphs.

That was enough, and what wus
meant to be a reconciliation was sim

‘Oh, dear me; it is my wretched
temper—I know ;t is,’ sobbed Mattie,

When Marsh Hunter cume home

a scarlet bow of ribbon at her throat.
Baby sa' on his pallet before the
fire, crowing lustily, and beating the
floor witli a tin rattle.
Supper wus on the table, and the
tea was steaming on the hearth.
Marsh was oold, hut such a scene
warmed him. He went straight to
the pullet and commenced a romp
with the baby. Mattie went and
kuelt there, loo, determined to make
her confession, bxt she did not know
how to commence. It was very easy
to think of beforehand, but when the
time cume ehe was lost. Theie was
an awkward pause, then both spoke
NRW York, March 26th.—This

sunshine that seemed to throw
warmth and renewed vigor into ev
ery part of life. It was the first
touch ol the spring-time, in pleusant
contrast to Venor’s prediction of re
turning snow and ice. It really
made the “openings'’ in the windows
ol the Broud ways stores look as if
they were not, in weather parlance,
false “indication” ol the season, but
vi-ry decisive probabilities of whut is
to follow. It has given a marked im
petus to trade, for, according to the
report of the wholesulo dealers, the
flood hhs come us sudden as it is
general. The orders for goods from
every quarter—especially from the
south, where cash«prices are reposted
to piedomitiutc this year—exoeed

healthy veritul tide ia expected to
continue. There is no good reaaob

Grant has resigned the presidency
of the World’s Fair Commission
His acceptance wus u blunder and
his occupat'on of the place bus been
a miserable failure. It has mortified
and astonished his /rieuds that cap
ital failed to embark in the enterprise.
Au effort is now making to induce
Vanderbilt to accept the position,
because it is believed he can oom-
inund the capital and enable his loads
to reap the benefit. Vanderb lt has
not yet given a decided answer, but
has the matter under consideration.
The idea is to accept Grant’s resign
nitiou und announce Vanderbilt’s
succession at one and the same
time. The ratlwuy king’s money
may save 'the enterprise—nothing
else can.
We have stock, mining, produce
und other exchungts here for buying
and selling all thut we have, (and
more frequently selling that which
we huve not), but the latest in this
line wus was the opening on Wednes
day of the American horse exchange
in the new building which covers
the greater part of the bldbk bound
ed by llrodway und Seventh avenue,
5th and 61st streets All of the
horses offered were imported from
England, and wlulo the attendance
wus large the bidding wus not as spir
ited as was expected, and the prices
were much lower than what the an
imals cost. The first sale was an
Arab stallion for $350, which was
ptirchasAi by a Mrs. liitchdock,
Mungo, a stud stnlliou, brought
$500. Matchless sold for $1,000 but
500 guineas was offered for his re
turn. Another one, Nonsense,
brought $1,075, and was a well
known race horse in England. The
Englishmen present w< re disappoint
ed, but prices will doubtless go up
when the character of the stock and
exchange ure more lnvorably known.
It is at least a uovelty now. thongh

The steumship Greece, of the Na
tional line, which arrived some (leys
since at her pier in Hobokea brought
eight live Zulu*—five men, two wo*
men add a child. When the ship
came up lo her pier they were all in a
row on a seat behind the long dining
table of the main saloon, dressed in
all fantastic toggery bPZuInland,
and chatting and chattering merrily.
The nu n wore a cloth wound tight
ly about the waist, and parti—oolor*
ed blankets, which they occasionally
drew around their shoulders, though
for the most part they withstood the
cold and damp air with no other pro
tection than their breech clothe—
that is to say, no external protec
tion. Internally it was different, for
the pour savages havealrendy become
so civilized that thongh the mystery
of plug hutB and grousers is still be
yond their ken, the inspiring effect
of rock and rye is familiar to them,
and they swig Kentucky wisky with
a gusto that would delight a West
ern nun and cause him to “set ’em
up” indefinitely. They appear to be
magnificent specimens of AfYicnn
manhood und womanhood. But if
the men get “drunk and disorderly”
as they did in London reoently, it
may create a small riot here as it did
there and necessitate something
stronger than a olub to crack their
skulls. Their heads would make
good targets for police praotioe.
