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 tier guuid through life. 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 ter’s glossy hair.

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. 0URNEW70RK LETTER (From our regular correspondent.) wards Matsli, and she was ubout to e d Mattie, through her tears. NOflCE TO PASSES’*.

When Marsh Hunter cume home that night u pietty scene met hit view. Hi* fire wus burning bright ly on ihe hearth, and before it stood Mattie, dressed ia a neat calico wrap per, with snowy cuffs and collar, and 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 wet k opened with a flood of broud 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 thosa of last spring, aud a strong and healthy veritul tide ia expected to continue.

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 intended to protect the interests of buyers and sellers of horse flesh. Admission and a regular commis sion are charged on all transactions. 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.

The Infinite has aotfn Hi# name in the heaveus in burning stars; but in tie earth he has sown his name in tender flowers. ‘ Bilhop Whtpply recently remark ed, “As the grave grows nearer, my theology is growing strangely simple, and it begins and ends with Christ as the only refuge for the lost. Christianity makes men and wo men more gentle, loving and true. It gives them humility, aud strength to eudure the struggles of life through which they are called to pass. While wo wrangle here in the dark, we are dying and passing to the world that will decide all our controversies; aud the safest passage thither is by peaceable holiness.— Baxter. The spirit of God will not dwell ia a divided heart. Wo cAunot feel the pleasure of devotion while the world is our delight. Not that all pleas ures are criminal, but the closer nn* ion we have with the world the less is our uuion with God.
