She stood before him, toll and fair A'J gracious on that summer's day, With June’s first roses in her hair. And on her cheek the bloom of May. Bat rosy cheek, and dm pled chin, And raven lashes drooping low, Conceal the answer he would win. It might be Yes ; would it be No? Ah, if 'twere No—his throbbing heart Stood fairly still with sndden pain ; And if ’twere Yes, the world so wide His deep content Could scarce contain. Sio wondrous fair! how could she stoop To favor such an one as he ? Ah, sweet suspense that still leaves hope! Alt, pain of sail uncertainty ! He held her hand so white and small, And moved to press it with his lips, But changed his mind and let it fall, SV ith chillest touch of finger tips. And took the seat she offered him Upon the sola by her side. Nor made the space between them !e=>- - , Which seemed so rmriow, yet so wide. Then gaz : ng on the perfect face, The dimpled mouth, the serious eyes, And drinking in with eager ears The music ol her low replies, He let the bright hoars drift away, Nor told the secret nf his heart, But when the shadows lengthened lay, Rose, all reluctant, to depa>t. And stammered forth, with blushing cheek, An eager, timorous request That she, lor old acquaintance sake, Would grant the rosebud fiom her breast. She gave it him, with downcast eves And watched him leave her with a sigh. “So good,’' she said, “so true, so wise ; Ah, me, if he were not so shy 1” Atlantic Monthly. Tlie Witching Weed.

Oliver Cromwell was a bitter enemy to smoking, as were also Charles I. and Charles 11. But, notwithstanding persecution, smok ing grew in favor, and in the reign of Wil liam 111. it was almost a universal custom. Pipes grew long then, and, ruled by a Dutchman, all England smoked.” Some of the Puiitans were moderate smokes in Eng land and also in America, and some of the New England women enjoyed indulging in a pipe. Mrs. Mary Rowlandson, wife of R<-v. Joseph Rnwland-mn, of Lancaster, Mass., had the misfortune to be captured by the Indians in the year 1765 during King Phil ip’s war. Being brought into the presence ol Phi'ip, that redoubtable chieftain courte ously offered her a pipe, according to the Indian custom. But smoking, she says, • did not suit my present feelings ; for. though I bad formerly made use of tobacco, yet I bad used none, since I was taken.” Th" fashion is not yet entirely obsolete among the women of New England, ami is induig. d in by some of (lie women of the West and South. In 1559 Cardinal St. Croix, who was a great smoker, introduced tobacco into' Italy. In 1690 Pope Innocent XII. ex communicated all who should take snuff or use tobacco in chinch ; but in 1724 Popp Benedict revoked :bis bill, as he himself used tobacco immoderately.

Limb has sung the virtues of tobacco in his poem “Farewell to Tobacco.” in which he owns his weakness in the famous words : For thy sake, tobacco, I Would do anything but die. Bon Jenson loved the“div tie weed,” and describes its use with the gusto of a con noisseur. Rev. C. 11. Spurgeon, the cele brated Baptist preacher of London, is a gieat smoker. On one occasion Rev. G. II Pentecost, of Boston, addressed an audience in Spurgeon’s Tabernacle, in wh ch he de nounced smoking as an offense in the sight of God When lie had finished speaking Mr Spurgeon got up and told his people that he saw no possible sin -in smoking, and electrified Brother Pentecost lay remarking that, as soon as the services were over, he was going to smoke a eigar himself. Rev. W. H. If. Murray, of Boston, enjoys a cigar as well as a good dinner. The same may be truly said of a great many celebrated divines.

Hssatob MoOrf.xrt.—Some days before the adjournment of Congress, as Hip story gopc, good-natured and ponderous Henutor McCreary, of Kentucky, was waddling down Pennsylvania avenue, when a dapper young gentleman, one of that class which delights “society girls" by exclaiming at intervals during a fashionable reception : ‘ Have you tie n very gay this season ?” approached him with the question : “Ah, Senator, how de do ; I called on you this morning. Did yon get my card?” • Y-s,” B.id the Senator drvly, “I got the card ; hut what did you mean by writing •E P ’ in the corner of it ?” “ih. that.” said the voung gentleman, evidently delighted at being able to give information, “'hat, you kno-v, m-uns e» personne' in other words, ‘left in per-on.’ ’ <-Y>'s, res,” sai l the Senator, medi'alively, “I we."

Among the most notable of the American pioneer preachers was P-ter Cartwright, who was horn in Amherst county, Va.. in 1785, and died at Pleasant Plains, 111., in 1872. When he Was a child his parents re moved to Kentucky, where, about 1801, lie was converted through the instrumentality of an itineiant preacher, and Joined the Methodist chuich. lie was ordained as deacon m 180 C, and as elder in 1808. In 1812 tie was appointed Presiding Elder, and n* *ed i> that capacity fi ty years 5 the hist forty five in the Illinois Conferee??? During the ministry he received more than 10,000 tnembeis in the church, baptized more than 12,000 jiersons, and for thirty-three years preached, on an average, four sermons a week, f I i-- fifty years of presiding elder, and his autobiography, edited bv Rev. W. P. Strickland, I) D., are a perfect storehouse ol characteristics, anecdotes and rem iusc utces. Atnnng these wo God the following : One d iv, on approaching a ferry across the river Illinois, he heard the ferryman swearing terribly at the sermons of Peter Cartwright, and threatening that if he ever had to ferry the preacher across, and knew him, he would drown him in the river. Peter, unrecognized, said to the ferryman : “81 ranger, I want you to put me across ’’ "Wait till I’m ready,” said the ferryman, and pursued his conversation and strictures on Peter Cartwright. Having finished, he turned to Peter and said : “Now, I'll put you across." On reaching the middle of the stream, Peter threw his horse’s bridle over a stak'* in the boat, aid told the ferryman to let go his pole. “What for?" asked the ferryman. “Well, you’ve just been using my name improper like, and you said if lever came this way you would drown me. Now you've got a chance.” “Is your name Peter Cartwright ?” asked the ferryman. “My name is Peter Cartwright." Instantly the ferryman laid hold of the preacher; but he did not know Peter’s strength, for Peter instantly seized the ferry man. « wi, hoping him by the nape of {IST neck, plunged him in the water, saying : “I bitptitP thee (sp'ash) in the name of Satun, whose child thou ar' " Then lifting him up dripping, Peter asked : •*D d you ever pray ?” “No ” “Then it’s time you did.” “I’ll do no such thing," answered the ler rymaug splash, and the ferryman was in the depths again. “Will you pray now ?” asked Peter. The gasping victim shouted : “i'll do anything you bid me 1” “Then follow roe—‘Our Father, which art in H«»v„.’n,’ ” etc. Having acted as clerk, repeating after' Peter, the ferryman cried : “Now, let me go 1” “Not yet,’* said Peter. “You mast make me three promises : 1 at, that you will re peat the prayer, morning and evening. »* long as you live; 2d, that you will hear every pioneer preacher tbut comes wiihio five miles of this ferry; and 3d, that you will put every Methodist preacher oyer free of expense. Do you promise and vow? - ’ “I promise,” said the ferryman ; and, strange to say, that very muo became a shining light in the church.

Th» turning point in Mr. Clemens’ life was made in 1868, when be went to the Holy Land with the excursionists on the steamer Quakrr City He h. d been in New York City but a short t me, acting 0- cot respond ent (or the Alta, when the opportunity oc curnd to make this trip, which pioved even a.lire to he the most important one lor our Bohemian.

He wrote five nr six letters to the New York Tribune during the same voyage. After a little he Ration, natural, under such circumstances, Mr. Clemens’ request was granted, and he joined the excursionists. To the moral and religions people who made up Ihe party, his presence was 11 ide-irable, for he still carried his ruining manners with him, and spoke the Washo vernacular. It happened that among the passengers there was an old gentleman from E mira, New Yoik named Langdnn, who was accompan ied by his son, a m re boy, and daughter This hoy conceived u sort of fiiendship for Mr. Clemens, and associated with him al most constantly, lie introduced his friend to his sister, Miss Olivia L. Langdou, and the light of her eyes purified his lile. It was a case of love at first sight as far as Mr. Clemen* was concerned, and the in fluence of the feeling was most beneficial. He began to live cleanly in a moral aeo-e, abandoned cards and gambling and drink, ami gave up scoffing at ifie religious opinions of his fellow passengers. He wanted to find grace with the lady of his love and her father. Before the. voyage was over he asked Mr. Langdou for Olivia, and the refusal he received chilled but did not dishearten him. He simply told the somewhat indignant par ent that he could wait, but be was determin ed to marry b s daughter. It was said of John Foster, the English writer ,-m*4 at awe time editor ol the London Examiner, that his love letter* were the most remarkable ever penned, because they were written at the instigation of a young lady whom he wished to make hi* wife, bui who knowing bis Imbiluul indolence, and at the fame time his great talent, refused to listen to Ins addresses till he had distinguish ed himself. lie (lid so, and won a bride thut was proud (>f him. Mr Clemeus’ case was .hardly a parallel to this, but is similar in some re-pacts. V\ e think his “Innocents Abroad” was a labor of love in a certain degree. It made him lamous as a humorous writer, (fnd while si] the world was talking about him and his book he Came to Elmira, accompanied by an editorial friend from Cleveland', awl again renewed his an it for Mas Langdon'i hand. This time th * oid man listened with more complacetfey.' The young lady’* plead.-d for Clemens, and his 0 evelaud friend, who knew Mr. Lon-don well, *!so Advocated his claim*. But more powerful pleaders than all these was the young lady’s heart, and for her father, the evidences of capacity VI r Clemens hud giv-n, *nd also of relortna tion in life. A family meeting was held, a d into its charmed circle the expectant bridegroom stepped.
