Arnold Win ton, strolling up and down the upper deck of the steamship Bothnia, with a fragrant Havana held between his teeth, was (a most unwonted exercise for him) thinking deeply; nor, judging by the smile playing about bis mouth and lighting ud the dark handsome face was the subject of thought at all disa greeable. It was, in fact, no loss a subject than represented some live foot five inches of blonde humanity, in tbe shape of Mrs. Hay's governess. Mrs. Ray bersolf had not, during the five days they had been out at soa, been seen above docks, but Miss Thornton braved both wind and weather, and with or without her little eight-year old charge, had sought every opportunity to escape from the stifling cabin into a pure atmosphere. Life on shipboard had promised to be monotonous to Mr. Winton, until a kind ly fate and a chance introduction threw - him across Cecil Thornton's path. Ho had amused himself with women all his life, and, of courso, a governess was fair snort. Bhe should bo very grateful to mm, that ho, one 01 tho lions of New York society, vouchsafed his kindly attentions. Of oourso, it was merely pour power le temps. She must understand that though certainly noth ing of this or his foregoing musings wero apparent in his manner, as, just as they reached this stago, a slight figure, - encased in water-proof, appoared at the ouior end 01 me deck; but out from tho water-proof peeped a bowilderingly lovely faco, and over it broke a ravishing smilo, as he came eagorly forward to meet her. "I am bo glad you have come," he said; "and alono, too. IN cod I throw away my cigar? May I smoke?" "Certainly. X liko, yon know, the odor of tobacco. Oil, how good this air leois! i'oor Mrs. KayJ She has been so very sick to-day! J'And von have been so much with her, leaving me dependent upon my own rosonrces. I here are such stupid peoplo, too, on board. But for tho lumpy acci dent of mooting you, I feel I should ero this have grown desporato and buried my sorrows beneath tho waves. Now I only dread tho day when our vessel shall rido into port." Bhe raised to him then, her great be wildered eyes. "lou mean, sho said, with uncon scious pain in hor voice, "that thon will bo tho end that I shall see you no more? "No, no! ho answered, quickly, striving hard to dissipate tho impression. "I only mount that I should not have tho daily, almost hourly opportunities of mooting you that we have here. Does the thought give you no pain?" lie bout his head a little lower as ho spoko, and somehow his hand hid from view the littlo white Angers which nostlod upon his arm. "Cecil will you remember those days mistako. Hho startod at sound of bur namo, Mr. Winton, you must not!" she mur mured. "How did you know it?" "I think I sheuld liuvo known it by instinct," he replied. "In reality, I heard the child 0110 day say 'Miss Cecil,' whou she addressed yon. It is so sweet a name; I was glad to find it yours." Tho moonlight failed to hido the blush his quick glanoo noted, and tho littlo hand on his arm trembled. What mat tered it? Another week on shipboard re mained to him. A week was an eternity without some love divertisemont; and once on shore, with his feet on solid ground, if she had made a mistake, she would not be long in discovering it. Yet as tha days wo 10 on ho began to realize tbat it would cost him, too, somothing of a wronch. If he wore fabulously rich man if lie could afford to follow the bent of his own free will he would be almost tempted to link this girl's fort u no irrovokublv with his, Hor beauty thrilled him. Thero was about her a charm no other woman had ever exercised over him. It was upon him in all its forco, on the last night they were to spend togothor on board tho vessel. They had been talking long and earnestly, and tho night was growing law. "I dread shivering. "And why, he questioned. "Because it separates us?" Bhe uplifted to his sight the pale, beautiful face, with its answer written there. Tho temptation was stronger than his strength. He stooped and pressed a fervent kiss upon tbe ripe, red lips. The girl lar passive in his embrace. At that instant Mrs. Ray, unhappily recovered from her recent illness, stopped in front of them. "Miss Thornton!" she said, in tones of incredulous amare. Then she waited for an explanation of the scene. Receiving none, she turned silently away, in evident dis pleasure, Cecil drew herself from Arnold Win ton's side. "You said nothing?" she half asserted, half questioned. "Why did you not "There was nothing to say," he re plied shrugging his shoulders. "Nothing to aay!" ahe repeated. "Could you not have told her what I was to you?" "What is that?" he asked. "You ask me?" she answered. "What havo your words, your kisies meant? Did you net love me. Did you sot mean me to be your wife?" "I loved yon yes; but really I had not given consideration to the queotion of matrimony. Do not be foolish, Cecil, I am ready to da anything in reason, my dear, to atone for any trouble you may get into on my account" "Hush! she cried, stamping her foot upon the deck, her eyes flashing in his face. "Don't make me despise you more! Don't insult me further by a single word! An hour ago I loved you. Think of it! An hour ago I would Lave lived forever within the narrow limits of this shin alone with you, and considered myself blessed among women. Now, I wonder if the whole world is wide enough to hold us two and give my con tempt breathing space!" The stiathing words left him no reply. They still burned in his soul long after her retreating footsteps had died away. For the first time in his life he felt con tempt for himself, and the sensation was by no means agreeable. Neither could he shake it off as the days merged into weeks. Ho wondored, too, if Miss Thornton had been discharged. No! he learned that she was still in Mrs. Bar's service Doubtless she had made satisfactory ex planations, and Mrs. Ray had pardoned the indiscretion. This should have satisfied him. but it failed to do so. He grew more and more ill at ease restless, almost unbapp At last, like a lightning flash, it burst upon him. He had been playing with fire, and it had burnt him; he had boon playing with love, and Cupid had re venged himself. He was in love madly, desperately In loe with but one hope, one thought, one wish, to gain Cecil. Thornton for bis own bis wife. He came forward with outstretched hands. Thrice she had tried to check him, but in vain. Of courso he would' have to ask her forgiveness. For a time she might hesi tate in granting it, but in the end he must win. After all, Ihis means were ample to provide his wife with every comfort, and now her beauty would adorn his home 1 Why had he been so blind? Poor child! How terribly sho must have suffered ! Tho more he thought of it the nearer came the reality bomo to him, and the more impatient be grew for tho fulfill ment of bis desire. Confident and rejoicing, ho pulled Mrs. Ray's bell in the dusk of a winter's evening. " xes, sir; Miss Thornton is in the li brary," said the man who admitted him Bhe sprang up with a triad cry at the sound of his footstep, then drew back, her face growing pale as she recognized mm. Miss Thornton Cecil!" ho began. "I have come to acknowledge my wrong. and Dog your forgiveness. Uh, my darling, these months havo taught me my own heart, and how your image fills lti 1 cannot tear it out. 1 was mad that night mad. Now I am sane, and I come to fall at your foot, if needs be. if but you would smile your forgiveness into my eyes, and say to mo you will become my loved and honorod wife. Hush, sho said, now very gontly. " I am sorry for this, yet glad that I can give you back a portion of my forfeited respect. More, Mr. Winton, you can never claim. My love for you was killed at one fell blow. I thought then. that it could nover live again for any miin, but 1 have foamed dinorontly. I am en gaged to be married to Mr. Clivo, Mrs. Ray 's brothor. I thought it was ho when you oomo. Wo are to be married next month. It is but 111st that you should know." w Just? Aye, with tho awful justice which made of Harold Wlnton's future life bo barren aud choorloss a thine just with tho justice which made men's praiso of John dives beautiful wife a two-odged sword in his soul just with AMERICAN XISDHBH. the justico which, too of his own outraged late, showed him his We Americans have' been loctured bo much by Europeans, notably by the English, and we have taken ourselves so freely to task about many real and im aginary defects, that we are in a fair way, if we believe all we hear, to arrive at the conclusion that we, as a people, are well-nigh destitute of virtues. Lec turing, we opine, whether from abroad or at home, does very little good as a corrective, partially because there is such an excess of it, and partially be cause we have small confidence in the source whonce it emanates. As our na tional faults have of late been so liberally insisted on, it might be an agreeable change, to our vanity, at least, to diroct attention to our good qualities, if we can allow ourselves to think that we have any left. We seem to Lave one virtue, if no more, and that virtue is kindness, not confined to any class or State or section, but shared by the whole people. Intel ligent travelers from the Old World Frenchmen, Germans, Italians, Russians and Englishmen have particularly ob served this trait, and have mado record of it in correspondence and published accounts of men and things in the big republic. Even those foreigners who have seen a great deal to blame and hardly anything to praise in the United States have generally admitted that the Americans ore kind. Whether they should admit it or deny it would not alter the fact, for it is a fact that may be readily recognized anywhere under a limitless varioty of circumstances. Kindness is unquestionably a national characteristic It is seen in New Eng land, in the middlo States, in the Wost and South, in different' degrees, under different forms of manifestation, no doubt, but it is still kindness, positive and unmistakable. Whatever divergences of opinio and politics of manners and customs there may be in the North and South, in the East and West, the inhabitants of all those sections are individually and col lectively kind, not only willing but glad to help any one who noeds help, regard less even of previous prejudico or ran corous feeling, we are not kind on prinoiple or from policy. Kindness is an instinct with us, and an instinct which we incessantly obey. We may hate certain men or communities of men, or think we do personal contact is very apt to disabuse us of the notion but if they get into trouble or suffer from any evil we are prompt to aid them by every means in our power a little more prompt and liberal, perhaps, from the consciousness of a once hostile senti ment. The mere fact that they are un fortunate is enough to commend them to consideration and benevolence. We may still reserve our right or privilege to hate them, but we decline to exercise it until they shall be out of adversity. This was shown during the yellow fever scourge in the Southwost. Extra ordinary bitterness of feoling had existed in tho North toward the people living in the infected district. Yet when the pes tilence broke out among them, spreading anguish and death on every side, tho North forgot its animosity, and remem bered only that its ancient foos were suf fering. It gave quickly ond largely; it could not have been more compassionate and generous if the ravaged places had been tilled with their nearest kin and dearest friends. The South has a per petual grievance toward the North. It has been oppressed, robbed, dragooned, it declares, and many of the newspapers speak of Northorn men as if they were a body of dospots and ruffians. Never theless, if some great calamity should occur to the North, the boutu would, doubtless, labor zealously to alloviate our distresses as we have alleviated its aillictions in other days, Many South erners appear to us wrong-headed, in vincibly prejudiced, tryannical.even bar barous; but we are prepared to believe One ITiase of the am War. I went one day, just after Longstreet abandoned the siege, to see the Chief Burgeon, to aeoure his certificate to tho papers of a brother officer who had ten dored his resignation, on account of total disability, arising from wounds and in' jnrios received in the line of duty. I failed to find the doctor in his office. It was about the dinner hour. I pushed my way past servants and flunkeys to his private Quarters in the second story of a handsome mansion. There, in a richly' furnished room stood a table loaded with more than the delicacies of any one season. A savory roast of beef smoked in tho center.

After bard rain, in heavy, sticky sou, greyhounds can sometimes pull down a full-grown deer; but under ordinary circumstances my experience, which is as extensive as that of most men, has shown that it is worse than use' less to slip greyhounds after full-grown deer if unwounded, and in good health, had not been overlooked. There stood on a sideboard a bottle of the splendid whiskey furnished to the Medical Department, and a conple of bottles of wine. Tbe doctor was not there, having halted in the lower room to wash and touch up his toilet. About the time I had completed the survey indicated here he entered. I was seated in an easy chair, and I retained my seat. He glared at me a momont. Then ho growled at me in a voice meant to be very tierce: "What do you want there?" "I came to see you, sir, about signing tbe certificate of disability of Captain . It bos been signed by his liegi mental, Brigadier and Division Surgeons, and you seem to delay it out of a spirit of pure oussedness. The Captain is poor. You have now detained him here two weeks for no other reason conceiv able to me than to show how near and devilishly cruol you can be. If you dont sign the papers, 1 shall prepare a history of the case, and carry it to Gen Kurnsule in person, The old ruffian stared at me in silent and blank amazement as I arose and walked out of the room. He signed tho certificate, and it was promptly sent to the Captain through the regular channels, and a worthy and brave ofn cer got out of the battered, ruined, half-starved town and to his family barely in time to save his life. It was a common habit of this Chief Surgeon to abuse both officers and men, who would endure his abuse in the most scandalous language. 1 stood in his office one day for an hour waiting for a timid Lieutenant to get his turn to talk with the medical magnate. He had a railing around the portion of the room he ocoupied, and the most contemptible flunkoy I ever beheld in charge of the entrance gate. Not a soul of all the poor follows who came but was roundly cursed and abused, though some of them were on crutches, the result cf recent wounds. They had been starving in hospital while this old brute, and the other heedless and cruel brutes about headquarters, had been devouring the delicacies sent for their relief by the ton, from friends at home, and by tho grand relief associations which sprung up to meet the great emergency. I often wonderod that the officers of the line and the men under them en dured these outrages with comparative indifference. Were it to do again I doubt if tho gourmands, ruffians and thieves would fare as well or come off as little harmed as they did. The true story of the Quartermaster, Commissary and Medical Department has some deep and damning shades of rascality and cruelty in its linos.

In the 1 st aeronautical ascent which was made at Ilome on Monday, June 13, by M. Jovis, M. Deamaret, one of the aeronauts, tried with success to take photographs of the land below. Abont fifteen different views were taken bv him. The car had a hole in the center. and the photographic apparatus was sop plied with a patent obturator working in one hundreth of a second. The photo graphs were taken, by instantaneous pro-ceas. love, that, if tho North were in affliction, they life s would vindicato tboir nationality by ao tive, unvarying kindnoss. They might detest us all tho same, but they could not holp acting liko American citizens. During the civil war, hich was natur ally and unavoidably one of the bitterest of such contests, the soldiors who fought against each other in the field were often generous, oven self-sacrificing to one another, and displayed a true chivalry that would havo shamed all assumptions. There wore atrocities in prison and in action sometimes;" but most Americans who met as open ene mies, musket in hand, wore mutually kind whou kindness is needed, and an opportunity for exhibiting it was granted. Men are always hitter than the wars they wage. Professional slayers are, when the slaughter is over, humanized again. Nobody who has traveled in tho lte publio aud used his eves can fail to have noticed the almost universal kindness of the people, whether in city or country, in ine tniuiy settled vt est or tho crowded East, on the frontier or in the bustling capital. Kindness is not confined to any class, either. Even in tho metropolis, where persons are naturally more ab sorbed in their own affairs than they are in minor towns, nearly everybody is willing to lend a helping hand, or open his purse whon help or monoy is wanted. A horse falls in liroadway; a dozen men volunteer at once to get him up. A stran ger asks the way; he is instantly directed. A case of charity is presented; dollars are promptly evoked. A woman is an noyed or insulted; there is always a will ing arm and a stout heart to protect her. It is not so, to any such extent, at least, in the Old World. There are persons there whose business it is to lend assist ance; establishments which are created to give sucoor. Therefore, the people. esiecially the prosperous and privi leged, regard miscellaneous kindness as no affair of theirs. There are such offi cers and institutions here also; but we do not wait for functionary or routine when we see perplexity or trouble or suffering before us. "We are a sym pathetic race. A democracy makes sympathy, sympathy makes kindness, and kindness should cover a multitude of sins. A young man with an extremely pow erful voice was in doubt what branch of musical art to adopt. He went to the composer Cherubini for advice. "Sup pose you sing me a few bars," said the master. The young fellow sang so loud that tbe walls fairly shook.

What married life needs to give it new tone and sweetness is more of the mam ner as well as the spirit of the old court- lug days. The beautiful attentions which before marriago were so pleasant are too often forgotten afterward. The gifts, cease or come only with the asking; the music dies out of the voice; every thing is taken as a matter of course, Tben comes dull, heavy, hard days to the unhappy souls that have solemnly promised to "love honor and obey, etc.. and the consequence is thoy begin by wishing themselves apart, and are not always content with the mere wishing Very much of the pleasure of courtship is derived from the constant attention nf parties to each other. Their affection for each othor's voices evinces itself in every possible way. Every sentence is gilt-edged with compliments spoken iu tender tones; every look is a confes sion of love; every act is a new word in tho exhaustlcss vocabulary of love. Gifts and personal sacrifices aro the more em phatio expressions of the spirit no lan guage can articulate, no evidence de clare. It is a fact that devotion declares itself continually in words and acts. At the touch of cupid's wand the language . . .1. . ., grows more rapid, tue ngures genner in their touch, and the voice more musical. Lovo is very liko the silver jet of a fonn tain that leaps heavenward; if denied its natural outlet it ceases to flow altogether, The love of courtship can be kept bright and beautiful through married life by giving it utterance or expression in words; and the more it is allowed to flow out in delicate attentions and noble, helpful service, the stronger it will be come and the more satisfying. The beautiful attentions of the husband re fresh, brighten and make the wife strong- hearted and keen-sighted in everything pertaining to her homo and her bus baud's happiness. And the parting words of love from the wife give the husband new courage as he goes forth to meet the toils aud difficulties of busi ness. The home is home only when pervaded with this blessed influence of love, and the marriage vow should not be made once for all at the altar, but should should be kept by husband and wife "until death do them part." Husbands, talk to your wives loving ly as in the early days of courtship, when you wished to win their affection. Wives, meet every slow of tenderness from your husbands as you did in the beautiful days that linger so pure and sweet iu your memory, and your home will be a type of that heavenly home that- only is promised to those who love. The following story of an Apache arrow, which made itself felt sixteen years after striking its victim, is told by the v lrginia uitv (Nev.) vnromcie: In the year 1804 George l'easland was a member of the California Volunteers, a cavalry regiment commanded by Col. Cromony, who commanded a campaign against the Apaches in Arizona. Dur ing one of lhe numerous fights with these murderous savages, Peasland was struck in the abdomen by a poison ar row and very nearly lost his life, which was saved only by the immediate ap plication of remedies learned by Cre niony during his long intercourse with the Indians. The effects of the poison remained in his system, however, mani festing themselves most disagreeably at times, and causing him intense suffer ing, l'easland is now employed as night watchman at the Virginia & Truckee depot in this city. Last night, while walking along the track near Union street, he was suddenly seized with a terrible pain in the side and abdomen, which had the effect of completely paralyzing his lower extremities and causing him to full between the rails. He was utterly unable to move from the spot, and was in danger of perishing from cold. Uut he nnally summoned sufficient strength to gather some stones that lay within reach and throw them against the depot saloon on the corner thus attracting the attention of persons insula, wno came to bis assistance and removed him to the railroad depot.
