Wilde View.
. 1 <
Away, down,—buried as it were, in the j
depths of one of Virginia’s fertile valleys, and |
surrounded with forest and stream, stood n j
low-roofed brick bouse, t f plain yet couiforta- ]
bio appearance. It was undoubtedly a very .
old dwelling, for the walls were almost hidden ]
from view by creeping ivy, and dinging moss, j .
while here and there lengthened cracks in the j
masonry attested its old age. The farm where- (
of this structure was the manor seemed not a j
large one. only, perhaps, twenty acres. Flow- ,
ers were blooming in tho small but well kept •
garden near tbo house. A ru tic fence dividid ,
from this tho truck, or vegetable domain, ,
while afar off, a smiling field of waving wheat (
gave promise of an ample harvest. P.nvn by j
the “ run,” could be seen the neatly wbitwasb- ! ,
ed stable and barn, and within these precincts (
a numerous family of tho feathered tribe heid ,
1 full sway. This numerous barn-yard house- j
hold was a decidedly mixed one, too; there ] ,
were lordly gobblers strutting around, mon
arch® of nil they surveyed ; and there were vel- :
vet-plumed guinea keats eyeing their neigh- ,
brrs suspiciously: white and speckled geese 1 ,
anibled lazily around, winking their pinkeyes j ,
in the Summer's ‘•tin ; and i s f< r the chicken, it
it was fully represented, from tho straw-colored ( <
Cochin and dark Brahma, down to the poor, j ,
lame, despised pullet, resting wearily on one ,
leg in the corner and timidly eyeing the cir- J ,
cling flight of a wayward hawk. i ]
An empty kennel sto<>d r oar the fowl-house,!
its straw matted and die' rdered, and tho chain , (
lying in front.

'* Come here. I have something to show ,
you," and Mr. Wilde, still more carefully ad- i
justing his spectacles, looked n*.ain at tho pa- (
per before him and studied a particular j ara- J j
graph. The gentleman was quite old, appa- i
rently about seventy; his hair was white, the j
figure bent over, ami the voice trembling, ]
yet quite distinct. ;
•• What is it, Papa ?’’ asked his daughter as 1
she came in qui kly, and advancing to the i
large arm chair wherein he w as seated, softly -
kissed the old man’s forehead. The window ]
was wide open, and the last rays ol the setting r
sun shed a golden glory across the bio >niing (
fields and garden. Tho quivering beams j
glanced through the casement, and shot with r
golden threads the soft chestnut hair of my he- r
roine. Muriel Wilde was a beauty of singu- ,
lar tvpe. hihe was medium in height, and had I
eyes whose color so closely resembled, at one *
time, blue, and at another, gray, that it were f
difficult to definitely describe th6in. Ilorwa- 1
vv tresses were combed loosely back from a j
low, broad forehead, where au intellect, of t

plainly perceptible. Mhe moved with a slow, c
graceful gait, and an inna'e dignity and stdf- r
possession asM-rtcd itself in her every step.— j
She was now standing at the window at her
father's side, fallen apparently in a deep-reve
rio, and braving with wide open ryes the.-ink

flush, as he disappeared behind the western
range.
Muriel,” said Mr. Wilde, taking her hnnd, j li
—a soft and dimpled hand—in his own, and j
speaking in a broken voice, “ what is this iu ^
the Telegram about a young man?” and he j
held the paper close to his eyes, laid a trem
bling finger on an advertisement, and then, l
yielding the journal to his daughter, sunk t
back in his chair—“ read it for me, Muriel." v
•• Which one, Papa.” began tlieyonng lady, f
running d >wn a column with her linger, and .
then, pausing in the search,—‘‘ A young jour- *

“ That's a good girl, said Mr. Wilde, taking 1
off his spectacles, “and now, Muriel, I want o
you to answer that advertisement, and offer 1
Mr. Tanl a home here with us.”
Muriel seemed, from her opened eyes, far v
from entirely understanding why her father b
wished to invite a stranger am- ng them, but s
one reason, perhaps, suggested itself when she y
replied,— ’
“ Why. Papa, are you growing lonely here d
with none but Lucy and I to amuse you?” a
“No! no! cl ild, if every old, infirm man >]

;iven her, without any application on my he
oinc’s part, by the County Board. They re

ntelligence, combined with a singular fa :ility
or conveying its lessons to others. '1 he chil

Stonewall Jackson.
Apropos of tho new bronze sfalne of this
rest hero, executed by tLo late John H. Fo

ondent of the Philadelphia Press gives a full
iography of the life of Jackson :
Thomas Jonathan Jackson was born of
Inglish parents, whose ancestor* lir*t came t"

ward* endured the privations and hard-hips of
ontier life among the hills and valley* <it

'here they were able t* reach an uncle's
ome; but they had underzone fat'gue nd
ckness so severe that the elder died, and the
nnnger never fully recovered from the effects 1
f this wild freak of chddhood. Under tne
irection of this uncle, young Jackson became
studious boy, fond of mathematics, and when :
nite yor.ng wa* elected a cor.-ti' le or execu- i
vc officer for the magisterial district, an office
hich probably yielded from twenty to buy j
nllars per aunum. At the age of eighteen,
