Herds Improving. The street just in from of the Epis copal church was not long since one ot the best streets in our city. It is now one of the worst and certainly needs improving.

But ah, how sad; those tears flowed not ft;um that well spring of joy which made her heart to com mingle iu the happiness which those innocent, loving and confiding little darlings anticipated upon the return of the absent papa, Deep down iu that mother’s bean, hidden by a mother’s kindness from the unsuspect ing little ones, rises a spirit-depressing apprehension, a heart-wounding fear, a happiness-destroying .uspicion of that, which had made a devoted aud loving mother, a kind and affectionate wife to grow prematurely old ; which had drawn the tender chords of her heart, for that needed succor of happi ness, more and more closely to the loving little ones, ami which now finds its must feeling expression in the silent tear.

The following account of it in a letter from Augusta In the Blade, a colored paper, leaves absolutely nothing that could be added in the way of a wedding notice after the most improved modern ityle: “ At tlie Union Baptist church last Thursday evening, occurred the mar riage of Miss Fannie Littleton, cousin to Mrs. Juriah L. Benton, to Mr. Uriah H. Carr of this city. The social standing and popularity of both bride and groom, were potent to bring together an assemblage seldom equaled for brilliancy, comprising as it did, many of the elite of the city both colored and white. The church was handsomely decorated by lady and gentlemen friends of the bride. On the Nortii side of tlie wall, just .-pendent from tba center. Shortly aftet the appointed hoar, seven 'o’clock, the organ presided over by Miss A. F.

The storm and tempest of the night is now lulled into calmness; tlie dreary darkness is now turned into beautiful brightness by the coming Christmas morning, still the grief and anguish of this now unhappy and dis tressed family finds no relief by the coming of the absent papa. Ah, this disire sing absence, the fearful tore- b.idiugs. and then the heart-rending news which is soon to intensify the sufferings of tlie already heart-broken mother and grief-str.ekeu children. The eontiiined absence ot the lms- t'a’id and father fully : rouses the -\-n: a hie-and suspicions o: the whole n i!i i i -rliood ill behalf of tho now n mu ami unhappy family, and tlie ;;inas day which had been so lull jipv an:ic!pa'i< n< is now turned i day of ami jus suspense and s; search fur tlie missing papa, in the afteri ooli enough is learu- k'-ow that the frightful (beam ot the wife is to prove a reality. The wayward and intemperate husband having fallen in company with those whose habits are the very lite and support of iniquity’s dens, and whose 'ives are spent in pointing out the “mile po-ts on the road to hell,” fell a viuliin to his appetite for strong drink and hud coon spent his all in a Christinas eve debauch. Leaving these iniquitous haunts and his still more iniquitous companions about midnight, being almost too drunk to travel, and attempting to cross tlie unfinished bridge over the ugly stream which ran not far from his home, lie fell and was soon swallowed up and drowned in the rapid and swol len current. This fright'iil scene oc curred about midnight, doubtless just at tlie hour of the wife’s frightful dream. When bis body wa< at last found, tar down the stream, it was discover ed that notwithstanding his wayward ness, his fallen and degraded con dition,he had nut been altogether unmindful of the dear little ones at home' His pockets were filled with those little defcacies which delight the children’s hearts, while in his cold ami clenched hands he st'dl held the expected “tandy and dollies” Just here the hardest heait would pray the curtain to fall. Would to God this heart broken and distressed family could have been spared the scene and suffering. Would that a kind Prov idence had per|M-ti.ated unto them the sleep of that sad nnd fatal Christ mas eve night, from which they awoke, to Fea n of the fate of the' alt- rent papa, whs never returned to gladden thc heart of the now.^dis consolate and widowed wife, and to make happy the now fatherless, jiitfe ’Twas tho bn let. not tlie ballot, that settled the municipal contest in Jonesboro .
