THE MARRIAGE VOW!
. Fold her wardrobe, for 'tis priceless
To the wreping husband, wifeless
Fold it for a sad remembrance.
Fr my cyea ean ne'er behold it, , t
But the wearer still is with it,
And 'lis mournful tirw to see it)
Fold It In the form she left it,
In the plaits her hands had touched it J
Fold it place it for remembrance.
Rev'rently, each pearl and (em recaae,
Rcv'rently, each jewel In its place,
Neatly) each ribbon, silk and lace,
For the wearer is dead 1

Of the world, so hollow hollow
Recollections of the dead I
l"old them nesflv with' each other,
Bridal veil and "bridal kerohief, . ,
Golden clasp and satin slipper,
Which the silent slumberer wore
When our lives were wed hi cne,
When onr hopes, a gorgeous train,
The bow of promise shone upon
- A welcome to the love we bore
A promise of the dual reign,
Heart o'er heart, had each in store.
Fold (hem fold them for the love .
1 The auburn curl and bridal glove
. Of her, my heart's dear dead.
For she never more will wear them
Never from that folding take them,
Lying in her lowly bed ;
: For, though fallen, God has given
Robes of splendor 1 the risen
In the Heaven round her spread.
Fold them-lock them up forever,
As the grave has locked the wearer;
They are emblems only, now;
For the beauteous form ia slumbering,
Its dear dust with eruHt is mouldering,
Hut her spirit God ia keeping
In the Heaven beyond onr feeling
' lleynml tho hearing of nnr weeping
Waiting tor my spirit's coming,
To renew the broken voir,
THE STAMMERING WIFE.
BY JOHN G. SAXE.
When deep in love with Miss Emily Prybe,
1 vowed if the lady would only be mine
1 would always endeavor to'please her
She blushed her consent, tho' the stuttering lass
Said never a wid, except " You're an a
An nss ass iduous teaser."
But when we were married I fottnd to my rbin
l lie stammering lady had sponen the truth;
For often, in obvious dudgeon.
She soys if I venture to give her a jog
Iu the way of repn of " you're a dog-dog-dog
, jx uog ungT-uiaiio curoiuugeon.
And once when I said. "We can hardlv afford
This extravagant style with our moderate board
'Ana iiimed we ought to be wiser,
She looked. I ass (ire rou. excevdimriv hi OK
And fretfully cried, " You're a Jew-Jew-Jew
A very ju-dieious auviser."
Again when it happened, that wishing to shirk
Some rather bnpleesant and arduous work,
I begged her to go to a neighbor,
She wanted to know wby I made such a fuss,
And saucily said, "You're a cus-cus-cus
Y'ou were ever a-cua-tomcd to labor."
Out ol temper at last with the Insolent dame;
And feeling the woman was greatly to blame,
To sedd me' instead of catesslng
I mimicked her speech like a churl ns I nm
And angrily said. "You're a dam-dam-duu
A dam-age instead of a blessing."

BRAVE KATE.

The year 17S1 u ns t dark and gloomy
one for our forefathers, who were then
struggling for liberty. In South Carolina

an engagement.
At t list t ueriod there stood, in South Cam
lina, 4 plain and unassuming house ; it was
a one sloiy tiuiining, neatly w tiite-w ashed,
mid surruundod . by a fence. The garden
contaii od many choice flowers, and the
beautiful honeyHtickle shaded the doors
and windowa'. It was the home of Mr.
Ileuth, who lived. will) her two daughters,
wnue ner son ueorge was in IV asliingtou 1
army, ugniinc lor ireeiloin. - : - :
. Kate, the eldest of the daughters, was a
beautiful girl of sixteen summers ; her au
burn hair hung in graceful curls down
her shoulders and tier face beamed with
kiiu'ncss, wh lo her eyes Rhone like tlars
that lit up tlio azure vault of heaVe;i.
One evening, as Kate was standing at
tlie cottage door, she beheld two mounted
fflicers approaching. They were richly
rlrehsed, aud one of them she recognized is
Lord ltawdor.j the commander of the
hrilish forces in that section of the country.
They rode up lo her, aud Ilawdou leaned
over in Lie saddle and suid, in a kind
voice
. ' Well, miss, can you let me have the
use of a room tor a few nfinutes t "
" Yes-, sir, onr Iiouho is open to you."
" Come, colonel, let ua hurry up bind
ness," bh i I lUwdou, dismonnling, while
the colonel did the same, tlie latter leading
the horse to the stable.
Lord Rawdun advanced lo where Kate
wax standing, and said
" Wlios.d Imiu is tlis, miss T "
"Mrs. Heath's, sir."
"11! her aon in in the rebel army, under
VVaHlnngloi), is he not,"
Kale trembled at the insult, and she
looked at the Briton with a searching
glance. .
aiy nrntner is no rebel. Lord Kawdon :
ho is fighting for his country."
"J am aoi'iy fur that 1 lie is a brave bo v.
and would, no doubt, h'lak a good britisli
soldier,'' relumed Kawdon.
" Lord Kawdon. you insult me, sir. I
would sooner nee George die a felon's death
than see him in the king's army," was tbe
heroic answer. '
" I see yon are a rebel, too: Miss ITeath.
But here comes tbe i-olonel." said Kawdon.
as ha saw that worthy coming from tlie
Htnl e. 1 . .
They entered the hong, and went Into
smalt room to holla consultation. Kate
thought they might have something import
ant to auy. so klie concluded lo nlav the
part of eves-di Opper. f he told her mother
ol her intention, who approved of it, and
Kute placed herself in a position to over
hear the Uiitou'a plans. ' -
It was dangerous undertaking; and she
knew that if she was caught In tiie act of
liMieniug she would be trnitted as a spy, and
perhaps, executed, for Lord Rawthm knew
no mercy. Bite cautiously approached the
door ifiid looked through a creviue. . Kaw
don and bis colonel was seated before a
snist'i talk on whMi lay maps. They were
examining them closely,' while Kawdon was
explaining them to, the colout-1.
"Here is Oiepu's caiftp." said lie. "and

have heretofore we shall aucceed," said
Rawdon, hie faoo assuming a triumphant
expression,
' I shall feel happy when the enrso 1
rebels are driven away from Carolina and
then their rule will be over," said Colonel
Roberta.
" We must crush Green, colonel. I do
not want to ko back to England and le,t it
be said that 1 was outgeneraled by a rebel.
No, uever T " exclaimed Kawdon, rising to
his fret.
" Then We make that attack at daybreak,
do we not?" asked the colonel."
We do j have your regiment ready, and
make your men fight like domnns."
w Let ne go now. But hold I what ie the
countersign for ttie pickets to-night, niy
lord t ,' '
"England," answered Lord Riwdon,
lowering hie voice.
Kate listened to the .Briton's plan with
a wildly throbbing heart, and she resolved
to save the patriot army. When she heurd
the countersign abe left the door and
busied hersell in her household duties, and
soon the two cfliceis emergnd from the
room. . .
We must go, Miss Ileatb, but first let
me thank you for your kindness," said
Kawdon.
Your thanks are received," replied
Kate.
The horses were saddled, end the officers
were soon on their way. Kate watched
them till they were out of sight, aud then
prepared for her perilous journey. She
threw a shawl over her head, and went tn
the stable. Her fleet-footed horse neighed
as she entered, und she patted him 011 the
head aud said
Well, noble Solitn, yon m'tst 'irry nv
safely through to night, fur il you do in t.
Green will be destroyed."
The aiiim il seemed to understand her,
for he gave a l iud whinny.

reach her destination in tinn to let the
patriot Ueiieiul form his men in time to
meet the assault. The British pickets were

" All right : pass on. But stop I" cried
the picket, as he caught a glimpse of her
face.
Kate stopped her horse, and laid her hand

said

Kate wns again on her journev while tbe
picket returned to his post.
She I ad to pass four milbs y. t ere she
would be safe, so she ur;red on her stt ed
Before she had gone a hundred yards from
Guy Jackson a dozen mounted Britons rode
furiously up to the picket, and their leader
cried out
"Did anv person pass this post a shot t
lime since 1 '
"Yes, sir,"" was the picket's reply.
" Do you know who it was T"
" I do ; it was Miss Heath.'1
" Had see the countersign, sir I"
" Sue had."
" I fear she is safe. Forward, men 1 If
she escaper, Qreen is saved. A hundred
golden guineas and a coinmifsinn to the
man who catches her!" cried the leader of
the band as they dashed after the biave
girl, leaving the picket in a state of bewil
uerment. ..
Kate toon heard the sound ol her pursu
ers, and she pushed on faster. It was a
race for life or death. The British horses
were fresh, while hers was beginning to
show signs of fatigue.
" Forwardi Selitn ; you must take me to
Green's camp," said Kate to her horse.
But herenemios gained upon her, and one
theui seemed bent on catching her, for
he waa an.no Vatds In advnncn of hia norni
redes. Kate heard 'be ominous tramp of his
horse and diew her pistol. Nearer he
came, until he was at her side, and then
cried dut
" Halt, you cursed rebel I"
Those' were his last words, for Kale fired,
and the bullet crashed through, his brain.
The others did not stop to look after their
dead comrade, but pressed 011. They neat ed
her again and another tiooptr nceived
his death-wound. The remainder halted ;
moment afterwards Kate luard the Atner

"To tbe right there, where you see that

She entered the General's tent, and found

An Effective Speech.
' A speech, a speech, from Wilton I "

Distances on the Pacific Railroad.
Below will be found a table of distances
and elevation of points, on ihe Central Pa
cific Railroad, between New York and S.m
Francisco, which ws take from the New
7ork liceniny Post. This table is a cu
riosity deserving some stndy. it will be
seen that tho distance from New York fo
San Francisco, by way of Chicago, is three
thousand three hundred miles. If a train
should run at the rate ot twenty miles per
hoar, including stnpnges which is, per
haps, the average rate on railroads in ibis
country it would require a little less than
seven days ti accomplish the distance. As
for grades, the traveler will ascend from
the level of tido-water at New York or Ban
Frmioiseo, to the night of eight thousand
two hundred and forty two leet, or over a
mile and a half, at Evans's Tass. Ths table
will be found useful for reference :

a very rapid motion appeared in the air;
