It is not often tbat a public man so successfully over rides detraction and calumny as Gen eral Grant bas done. Ever since bis election be has encountered more ma licious slander and libels than any public officer io our history. Tbe libels tbat bave been hurled at his chai acter bave been of tbe very worst sort possible such as cBarges of venality and fraud charges that bave been woven with the most consummate skill into a web of fiction, bearing all tbe veri-similitude that art eonld give it Grant is the most unguarded man that ever stood conspicioosly before tbe peo pie ; and every advantage, ha been taken or nis Ingenuonsnes to se, core a woof for tbe tissue of lies tbat bis enemies bave told.- These false boeds bave been span, too, with tbe most persevering obstinacy, and the most systematic artfulness of any lies ever fabricated against an innocent man. - r But Grant bas lived them all down He stands to-day at tbe bead of tbe nation without a siogle one of these calumnies believed by any mentionabl number of the people of this country He holds np his bead, unscathed by tbe arrows of persecution, and hi character is purer and brighter in -the estimation of three-fourths of tbe in habitant of tbe Union to-day than wbea be was tbe admired and beloved commander of onr army on bis return from victory four years and a half ago, The simple fact is tbat Grant is an booest man. So his reputation to-day, after all tbe abuse and malignity an villainy tbat bas been encountered, i purer and brighter than ever.

When tbe procession had arrived at tbe bottom of tbe elevated lawn, on the bank of the Potomac, where the lamily vault is placed, tbe cavalry baited, tbe infantry marched toward the Mount and formed their lines tbe Clergy, tbe Masonic Brothers, and tbe Citizens, descended to tbe Vault, and tbe fuDeral service of the Church was performed. Tbe firing was repeated from tbe vtffel in the river, and tbe sounds echoed from tbe woods and hills around. Tbree general discharges by tbe in fantry the cavalry, and 11 pieces of artillery, which lined the banks of the Potomac back of tbe Vault, paid tbe laft tribute to tbe entoaied Commander in Chief of tbe Armies of tbe United States and to the departed Hero.

No the name of WASHINGTON the Ameri can f resident ana ueDerai win iri- mpb over Death 1 The unclouded brightness of his Glory will illuminate the future ages I A Man Bagged Against bis Will. A most ludicrous scene transpired a short time since, Lot a thousand miles from this city, which, though a little nnoving to tbe persons immediately nlerested, was just so innocent and funny that we cannot refrain from git- ng tbe general outlines, suppressing names, ot coarse: Two sprightly and beautiful young adies were visiting their cousin, an other sprightly and beautiful young lady, who, like ber guests, was of tbat happy age wbicb turns everything into fun and merriment. If tbe truth were told, we fear we would bave to record tbese misses just a little bit fast. Tbey were food of playing practical nkes, and were continually playing all sorts of little pranks with each otber. All tbree occupied a-room on tbe ground floor, and cuddled in one bed. Two young ladies attended a party on the nigbt in question, and did not get borne until balf-past twelve o'clock tbat night. As it was late, tbey. con cluded not to disturb tbe household, so tbey quietly stepped into this room through the low open window. In about balf an hour after tbey bad left for tbe party, a young Methodist minister called at the bouse tbey were staying, and craved for a nights lodg- ng. which of course was granted. As ministers always bave the best of every thing, tbe old lady put bim to sleep in tbe best room, and tbe young lady Fannie) wbo bad not gone to the party, was entrnslen witn tbe duty ot silting up for tbe absent-ones, and in forming tbem of the change of rooms. She took up her post in tbe parlor, and a the night was sultry, sleep overcame ber, and sbe departed on an excursion to tbe land of dreams. We will now return to tbe young ladies wbo bad gone to tbeir rocm brough tbe window. By the dim light of tbe moonbeams, as tbey struggled through tbe curtains, tbe young Jadies were enabled to descry tbe outlines of Fannie (as tnej supposed) ensconsed in tbe middle or the bed. tney saw more to wit, a pair of boots. Tbey saw all; Fannie bad set tbe boots io the room to give tbem a scare. . They put tbeir beads together and determined to turn tbe tables on Der. anentiy they disrobed, and steatbly as cats tbey took tbeir position on each side of the bed. At a given signal toey com imped ioto bed, one on each side of tbe unronconcious parson, laughing and screaming, "Ob, what a man I Ob, what a muni' and gave tbe poor be- ildered minister such a promiscuous bugging and tusseling as few parsons get in tbe course of a lifetime. . Tbe noise of tbe proceeding awoxe the old lady, who was sleeping in an adjoining room. Sbe comprehend ed tbe situation in a moment, and rushing to tbe room, she opened the door and exclaimed: 'Gracious, it's a man 1 it's a man sure enough I" There was one prolonged and consolidated scream, a flash of muslin through the door, and all was over. Tablb Conversation. You will find that" a great deal of character is impart ed and received at the table. Parents too often forget this : and, therefore, instead of swallowing your food in si lence, instead of brooding over your business; ins.ead of severely talking about others, let the conversation at tbe table be genial, kind, social and cheering. Don't bring disagreeable things to the table in your conversa tion, any more than you would in your dishes. For this reason, too, tbe more good company you bave at your table is an educator to tbe family. Hence tbe intelligence and tbe refinement and appropriate behavior of a family wbicb is given to hospitality. Never feel that intelligent visitors can be anything but a blessing to yon and yours. How few bave lolly gotten bold of tbe fact tbat company and conversation at tbe taljle are no small part or education. A yooog man, becoming engaged recently was desirous of presenting hi iotended with a ring, appropriately in scribed ; but being at a loss wbat to bave engraved on it called upon bis father for advice. "Well," said the old man, "put on 'when this yon see remember me,' " " Tbe young lady was much surprised a few day after at receiving a beautiful ring, with thi Inscription : " When thi 'you tee remember pap."

The Wasbfcigton correspondent of the New YoA DiraU, December 1 2tb, say : ; For the first time In tbe history cf th Government a negro was sworn in! to-day as a member of the House of Representatives. The fortunate Indi vidual is J. W. Rainey, and succeeds B. F. Whittemore, of cadetship selling notoriety, from South Carolina. Rai ney war. elected to aerve out - the bal ance of Wbittemore's term in the pres ent Congress. On tbe opening of the session, about a week ago, there were numerous Inquiries for the "negro member,' and to-day, when be put io an appearance for tbe first time, be was the center of attraction oa the floor, as well as ia tbe galleries. A light mulatto, with long, dark, straight, glossy bair, busby side whiskers and decidedly Caucasian features, be looks more like a Cuban than a negro. In this respect he is quite unlike tbe ne gro Senator from Mississippi, Revels, who has tbe African features, as well as woolly bair. Rainey came forward at the request of the Speaker, after his credentials bad been presented, and amid perfect silence took the iron clad oath. He did not meet with as warm a reception on tbe part of tbe members as Revels did la tbe Senate when be took his seat in tbat body. As he nassed toward bis seat in the rear of the Hall tbe southeast corner tbe only member who thought it wortb while to sbake band with bim was Horace Maynard, of Tennessee. Wben be bad reached bis place, two or tbree cf tbe South Carolina members came over to congratulate bim. All About a Cavry. An incident really deserving tbe epithet of tragi comic took place lately at Antwerp Madame, a yoong married woman, bad a canary, which Monsieur,, her young busband, had neglected toTt-W, a for eelfalness which to the grief and rage of tbe lady resulted In tbe death of tbe pet. Resolved, bowever, oa retribu tion, she began, so soon as ber first access of grief was spent, un'iraidiog ber lord and master with bitter re proaches, and presently, on bin adding fuel to the fi ime, dashed a pot of milk upon tbe floor. This was followed by a general smash of property on botb sides, and at length Madame went so far as to take a very effective shot with a fragment at Monsieur, wbo presently was bathed in blood. On seeing this the woman rushed from tbe boose shrieking "I bave murdered my bus bund," and poeitively threw herself into tbe river, but a boatman hauled her out just as tbe husband came pant ing to te rescue. Like the fairy stories, it all eods very happily, for tbe two fools returned home, where the husband, wbo lit a big fire to dry ber. will now probably recognize tbe sound ness of the advice, "Never quarrel with your wife, as you will only have to make it up, and also pay for tbe recon ciliation." ; The following racy, off band letter was received by a mujic firm in Chica go: ! Gentlemen: Inclosed please find a draft on tbe National Bank for $725, being in fuil payment for tbe piano. The instrument is evidently a fine one, as my wife keeps it well locked and covered up. Tbe tone is a little differ ent from what I bave been used to--liviog on the frontier fjr the past four teen years among the buffaloes and Indians; but that of course, is tbe fault of my education. Tbe first nigbt after its arrival my wife and I sat up all night watching ir, expecting ot course, tbe thing would play; but nary tune did we gel. We called in some of our neiitbbers the next rnorniog, and found tbat it n quired some one to play ill Here was a fix. Neither of us can play a note, and ibe question is what do we want with it t ary a child or any one else to play on it, un it ss, it might be the kitchen " pot wbolliper, and we fear she might color tbe keys. One of my negro boys sug gested there must be a place to wind it up, but we have looked everyplace for a key holeaid can't find any. Let us know by return mail bow we sball make it go. Goivo to Chcrcd. Many years ago, wben Daniel Webster stood at the sum mit of bis commanding itiflu'Dce, up on a certain Sabbath he entered a small Methodist Cburcb in tbe vicinity of Washington. Tbe number of per sons In attendance was few, and the bouse and furniture were of a very in ferior description. Tbe preacher was a plain, unlettered man, wbo bad nev er enjoyed any advantages of educa tion, but wbo did possess a heart warmed by tbe glow and excellence ot the gotpvl. At tbe .close of tbe ser vices, as Mr. Webster was leaving ibe bouse, a ckrk of one of tbe depart ments wbo bad been present, accosted Mr. Webster, and expressed regret that a man of his eminence and extensive information should bave been com pelled to listen to so plain a discouree. You mistake," replied Mr. Websltr ; " I have been deeply interested and moved by tbe sermon. As you say, tbe preacher has ut learning from the books, but be bas evidently been in structed by tbe highest of teachers tbe Spirit of God We gu to cbnrcb, sir, not merely to bave our minds en lightened, but to bave tbe emotions ot our hearts awakened and excited to wards divine things. This ignorant man, as we cill him, bs aiwined a reach of knowledge which no mere learning can give. He baa taught ns our duty to God. May we perform ill" Quxstiok Srttlkd. Old Joe B- was a quiet old man, but somewhat too fond of tbe bottle. Wben in bis cups, bis ideas tended towards theo logical ma'ters ; which be always avoided in bis sober moments. It was Saturday afternoon (Connecticut bak ing day) and bis good wife wanted some wood for tbe oven. Joe, I do wisb you would go and split some wood. Here it is nearly two o'clock and tbe fire isn't made. Joe went out to execute bis commis sion, but fearing bis physical condition was weak, murcbed to tbe neighboring tavern to lortify himself therein. He returned home utterly oblivious to all things, save his pet theories. Seating himself on his cbnir, he said : I say (bic) Jane, do yoy (hie) think the Loid (bic) means to bum us all (hie) up in fire ? His venerable spouse, being exceed ingly irate, did not answer. Again he repeated tbe question, otill an omin ous silence. Wife, do you think the Lord means to burn us up in fire everlasting r No I said the thoroughly aroused housewife i so, you old foul, not if be waits for yon to split tbe wood 1 ' Ah ExcblTbkt Rkiso.v. In Indiana a busband, after a spree, was led home by one ot bis friends, wbo, after posing him safely on tbe door steps, rang tbe belT, and retreated somewhat devious ly to the other aide of tbe street, to see if it would be answered. Promptly tb "pore" was "ouverted," and tbe fond spouse, wbo bad waited up lor ber truant busband, beheld bim in all bis toddiness. - " Why, Walter, is this you?" " Yes, my dear." " Wbat in tbe world bas kept you so?" " Been out on a little turn witb 'erboys, my d-d-arliug." " Why, Walter, you're intoxicated!" "Yes, dear, I estimate that's so." " Wbat on earth made you get so drunk? And wby oh, why do you come to me ia this dreadful state? " " Because, my darling, all th' other placet thut up." There wa a dutch woman whose basband, Died rich Van Prank, kicked tbe bucket and left ber inconsolable. Folk aid grief would kill that widow She had a figure of wood carved tbat looked very much like ber late bos band, and placd it ia her bed and con stancy kept it therefor several months. In about half a vear. sbe became in terested in a youog shoe maker, who got tbe length of ber foot and finally married ber. He bad not visited tbe widow more than a fortnight wben the servants told her they were out of kind ling wood aad asked wbat should e done. After a pause tbe widow re- slied. in a verv ouiet way i " Maype i iah veil ebourb now to split op old Van Prong, vat is up shtair." Religions libertv is to be assured throughout Italv.

There's a sort of a melancholy charm about tbe siogin' of tbese 'ere crickets. Don't yon notice 'em, sort of vibratin' ' like? Folks say tbey bave kind of har monicoms in their sides tbat tbey keep a blowia', and some say tbey rub tbei bind legs together, but 1 don't Know about that. 'T any lay, I've stood at this yere gate hundreds of nights every August and listened to em and couia almost tell ye wbat they're trying to get off. Don't you notice bow tbey all keep together? Ooce in a while tbey get out of time; I reckon tbe -young ones get frisky and get ahead of tbe old ooes, but pretty soon an old double bass one '11 strike in powerfol, and bring 'em all ronnd right a?ain; and then tbey all go it, whirr, wbirr, whirr, as regular as our old clock in the kitchen. But, as I was sayin', it's sort of melancbo y to me, and I presume to say I've cried a barrel full over it. That's wbat makes this 'ere tanry look so fresh and green, while tbat catnip there is all dried np. ' 'What's tbe reason?' Wal, ef you don't mind step pin' out behind tbe barn, ont of hear iu', I'd just as lief tell you, but it mite make fe.elin' if anybody should happen to bear me. There, sir, on this 'ere I07. . You see, I was young onct, jest about your age, nigh onto nineteen, ain't you? Yes, so I reckoned. Wal, I was nineteen at about your age, and I apose I was everege smart. Leastwiso, I bed a good bringiu' op, and could read and rite and cipber very fair. Wben I was seventeen father put me to tbs cooper's trade. Tbat was about the only trade there was in this town then, aod IKngbam buckets and boxes, ye know, used to be famous. Wby, I remember wben there warn't a bouse within two miles of father's tbat didn't bave a cooler's shop to it, and tbey used to think a feller was an upstart that wanted to.be anything bnt a coop er. - S'pose you know sutbin' about gals yourself, don't you? Yes, so I reckon ed. There am t many boys with rich farthers like your'n but wbat knows gals enough, I'll vector'. They're a curis set, aod ought to be bewared of more'n they are j still, yet, I wouldn't say nothin to set yoa agin em, as I as I dare say you have your own idces about em. My experience began tbe summer after tbe Morrisons moved into tbe next Louse to my boss's. Tbey was very respectable folks for tbem times, and good neighbors, fur's I know, but they bad a gal about eigbtten, wbo played tbe mischief in tbe village and set us fellows at sword's points in less ban no time, Tbe trouble was, sbe favored everybody in general and no body in pamtkilar. But I rather bad tbe advantage of the rest on 'em, as our shop was close to their garden and I bad tbe best chance in the world to see ber. One day, wben I was outside split- tin' staves, sbe came out into tbe gar den, and went to weedin' round amongst tbe beets and onions. I never spoke to ber nor looked ber in tbe face scurcelv, aod can cal'late how I felt wbeo she come up to tbe fence and joke to me. " What's all them pieces for you're makin 7 says sbe. 1 To make buckets on,' says I, and I s pose I colored up likeabiled lobster 'I know tbat well enough,' says she 'but wbat part of the buckets are they for?' 'Staves.' ssys I. 'Then you must be a etaver,' sys sbe, and sbe laughed line a good one at th joke, though somehow it didn't seem like much of a j'ike to me. Sbe was mighty handsome, no mis take ; but sbe had such snappin black eyes and such awful white teeth, tbat 1 wasn't quite certain whether I liked ber or not. Wben sbe looked at yon, you could sort of feel gimlet boles goio through you, and when sbe laughed, you bait believed sue couiq Dim as well if she tooka sution. But I knew half the fellers were after her, and I was rather proud to bave ber take no tice of me, who baduU any money nor eood looks in partikler for a recom mend. But there's no cal'latia on people's fancies, she came out to talk with me about every day tbat summer, and I fell dead in love with ber. But for all tbat, she didn't give me no comfort. Sbe was gallivanlin' round witb all tbe fellers. Sbe would go to the beach and picnics and balls witb one another while I con Id ot afford to take her any where ; and then she d poke fun at me and sarse me a good deal more than I'd stand from any bod v now. It went on that way till 1 got pretty desperate, and one evenio', when I was setteu' out oo the pile of logs, she came out toward me and commenced jokin and laugbio' at me, as she all era did. She sat down ou a log side of me, and I don t know bow it was, but it was kind ot dark, and finally, somehow, I bad my arm round ber waUt. I liked it be hanged if I didn't, and I thought she did, and at last I kissed ber all of a sudden. Sbe gave me stiogin' slap side of tbe head, and says she : There,' says she, "don't you do tbat agin 1 But I did do it igin till I got pretty used to it, and alter gittin' it on my tougue'a end and swallerin' on it dozen timts, I finally blurted out a awk'ard as could be, aod asked her if sbe d have me. 'No 1 you great fool,' says she, aod sbe jumped up and ran Lome. I was pretty well took down, you'd better believe. I set on tbem logs for hours. Tbe crickets were puttin' Jn tbeir loudest, and that ' no' was rlngin' in my ears like a conk shell. That's wben I first noticed the crickets par tikler. aod 1 never hear 'era without tbinkin' of tbat time. I felt awful bad, aod they seemed as if they were tryiu' to cheer me up. I was tbinkin' no, no, no, all the time, and they were cbirpin yes. yes, yes. For two or three months I didn't speak to tbe girl, nor hardly look at ber. Sbe allers looked up to the shop window when she went by, but I be lieved sbe was only tryio' to pester me, and so I only eaw her out of the corner of mv eve. Oo day, io tbe winter, 1 was at work alone in tbeshop 1 was drivin' on hoops with a rap tap tun. rao-tsD-taD. turnin' the bucket round between the taps yoo've beard tbat sound often 'nough in Hingham wben who sbsuld pop in but Amoretta that was ber name and set right down on a bench in front of me. Vt e Daaaed a how d'e do and said we were quite strangers, bnt oion't get to vaia in' in the old war. Sbe looked nicer n ever, with her winter cfo'es on, and a gap little kiss-me-qnick on her head, and I did sort of wish things were in tbe old style: but I was bound 1 wouldn't be tbe first to mention it. She tried bard enough to draw me out but I wasn't sure she wa'a't foolin', and 1 didn't take tbe bait at all. Finally says sbe, ' John ;' and ssys 'I What? ' - You didn't think I meant anything that nigbt out on the logs, did you 7 ' I thought I didn't need any die tionarv.' sa'VS I. Wby, John, I was only jokin," says she. ' I thought you koowed enougn for that: but wben I fonnd you was such a fool, I was mad, and I thought I d let you suffer for it. But 1 m sorry now, aod I bope yon won t think notb in' more aoout it.' ' Do you mean it, Amoretta?' says I Of coorse I do,' says sbe. There wa'n't no more hoop drnv on for one balf bonr, yoa can cal late, I don't believe a fo'in-nich tub would bold all tbe kisses I give tbat girl, nor a dumb-betty tnb nutber. And wbea sbe told m sbe bad ber fixin'a all ready - to be married, I felt a slick as a pile of ehi-nks. We was married in tbe spring, aod father set me up witb a cooper' shop of my own, and we went to housekeep in' regular fashion. For a while thing wa all boney, and then it begna to wear off a little. I found the hadn't forgot bow to bore them gimlet boles in a fellow, and she showed them teeth of ber'n a little too much for comfort. But I wa allers ready to knock under, and kept tbe peace a if I was under a thousand dol ar bonds. Sbe aller said sbe dida't care much fur children, and though sbe seemed to take to tbe first one well enough, I fjund I got riddled with the gimlet holes worse 'n ever. - The next two babies made tbe mat ter vnm and wnrae. and I gnt in th way of staying at tbe shop all day and goio' over to tbe store of nights. Heavens knows I'd bev been glad to bev staid to home, but sbe had a habit of sayin' she did't want m round in .'0 way, and, my room wa belter 'n my company. But tbe twins come finally ,vand then I reckoned I rai a goner. She laid 'em to me. With all the snap of ber black eyes, and tbe grit or ber white teeth, sbe laid 'em to me. If you only bad a realism' sense of wbat that meant, you'd think all the sins of all your grandfathers clear back to Adam wss piled onto your blasted head. There wa'n't no peace nowhere. When sbe couldn't boon' me in the house, she'd houn' me to the shop, and she'd end tbe boy to tbe store for me nights. juatfortbe take of boun'tn' me when I got borne. As sbe grew faircer n faircer I grew meeker 'n' meeker. There wan't notbin' I wouldn't do to please ber, and there wa'n't notbin' I could do to please ber. The neighbors coulJ bear her jawin' half a mile away. and sbe got so 't she jawed everybody tbat come near tbe bouse. Tbe baker and tbe butcher bad to take it, till tbey swore tbey wouldu t call again; and then I bad to gofer tbe biead aod meat, and bad to take it because I did bave to go. 'Cordio to ber talk, me and the five children was the cause ot all tie trouble there was in tbe world. If i; rained Mondays, I was to blame, and if tbe bread didn't rise good, tbe twins bad to take it. So, yon see, between us all we bad a pretty tough time. Wal, things wait on tbat way till about this time tbree years ago, wben, all of a sudden, I found my wife bad cleared out with uve bundred dollars I bad drawed out of tbe bank to pay on a mortgage on tbe bonse that was comin' due next day. To tell tbe t'Uih, I missed the money tbe most. but l arranged toe mortgage with a neighbor and said notbin' about the loss. Folks was a good daal more ex cited about it than I was, and won dered wby I didn't try to bunt ber up ; but, thinks I to myself, five hundred dollars is gettin red of ber pretty cheap. Nobody could imagine where or bow she bad gone, only some of tbe neighbors bad seen a peddler tbat stopped at the bouse a good deal, and said tbey shouldn't wonder if 'twas bim. What set otber people to worryln' was a comfort to me. My sister came dowo from Saappitand kep' bouse for n e, aod we lived as quiet and con tented as ever you see. Tbe babies grew fat aud handsome, and I got rid of my rbeumatiz in less n two months ALd so it went on tor just about a year, wben one nigbt I was stan in out to tbe gate smokio and Iistenin to tbe crickets, as I len bad a fancy o doin' ever since I p ipped tbe quesiioo and was tbinkin bow sort o comfort able 1 was.wben I see a woman comin' up toward tbe bouse. I reckoned it was some of tbe neighbors conito in to see Belinda tbat s my sister. It was so dark I couldn't see ber face, but I thought it was Miss Puckers, a perky old maid that lives down next to Smudge's, and you can cal'late I was kind of surprised wben sbe come up to me and threw ber arms around my neck aad says, Ob John I' and theu bust out a cryin like a baby. The voice was so strange tbat I couldn't guess wbo it was. I was io a pretty fix, with a woman I didn't know bangio' on to my neck like a cat-k boop, aod me a grass widderer with three chil dren and a pair of twins. But when sbe aid between her sobs Ob- John, I wao't to come back,' I know'd her in a minute. It was A mo retta. I felt as it tbe great sbadder of my life had come over me again, and I started back and left her stao'iu' alone, and never said a word. 'Ob John,' says she again, coverio' her face with ber bands and leaniu' agin tbe gate post, ' do take me back. I know 1 tare wronged you, but not as much as you think,' and then sbe clung to me again, and I almost give in. It was moat as still as death You could bear tbe corn grow, aud the crickets chirp, and notbin' else but ber sobs and my thick oreatb. I had always believed she bad done me tbe worst of wroogs, and to bear ber deny it gave a ttraoge comfort. Should I believe ber? Tbe crickets said yes, yes, yes,' as they did when I sat ou the pile of logs tbat bitter nigbt ; and I thought of tbe days wben we first loved each otber, and tbe same old ferlin came over me just as strong as ever. So I put my arms around her and kissed ber, and she almost fainted away. I couldn't guess wbat was before me, but it was Amoretta. and for the sake of times lonir oast I kissed her over and over strain. Wtien sbe got so's to talk, sbe told me the whole story, Sbe bad gone off with tbe peddler. She took tbe five bundred dullavsao'd give it to bim, and thev started for the West. But at Spring6e!d be left the cars, to get cigar, be said, and sbe never saw bim again, though tbe thought be was in the smokio' car till tbe got to Albany, and then sbe found be bad cleared Tben sbe ires down. Sbe didn't know a soul io Albaov or anywheres about tbere, and she hadn't a cent of money, and sbe wouldn't 'a' let me known where sbe was for tbe world. For long time she bad to beg work from bouse to bonse to keep herself from starvin' till fioally sbe was took tick aod sent to tbe almshouse, where she like to died witb a fever. Wben sbe got over It, tbe said sbe was a different woman. Sbe told her story to tome good folks sbe bad worked lor, and tbey advisrd ber to come borne aod ask me to take ber borne. . And no says she, 'John, do take me back. I have learnt to love you as we never did before, and I will be a better wife to you than ever you hoped to have ; you shall never bave a oilier word dot sour look from me as long as I live. You were alwavs good to me when I was the woret to you, and I am 'shamed enougb of all my past life. Take me back aod love me ever so little, and 1 will be contented, if I can only be near von.' WLat could I do but to say I'd for give ber, though I was afraid, even then, all the old sliadder hadn't gone ? But sbe was my wile tbat I bad loved throngb thick aod tbin, and sbe was the mother of my five children, and I kissed ber again and again to assure her I bad really forgiven her. And she bas proved as a good as ber word." Sbe bat turned out to be tbe best woman in the world. There' no more gimlet boles and no more savage teeth now, and tbe sorry old times seem now just like a dream. Tbe sixth baby has made us as bappy as bappy can be and wben I listen to tbe crickets now I only remember tbe nigbt wben Amo retta came back to roe. Sball we Meet Again.

Tbe travel on tbe road is very good, a full car almost every trip. Cokcibt. Tbe adjourned monthly Missionary concert of the M. E. S. S., will take place at tbe M. E.
