The woman is plainly dressed, but evidently in her best attire, and there is a touch of gentility iu her finery, in the renl lace collar, relics of better days, perhaps, the pearl car-rings and neat gloves. Tho child is neatly dressed, too, and she cla9ps the woman's hand, looks lovo at her guardiau. But the woman's face is not at its best now ; a care worn look, aud a faint wrinklo upon tho pale forehead that ages her and lessens the charms of her face. She is inquiring of the dockmen, stevedores and loungors about the wharves whether tho brig Good Luck has como iu. She always re ceives the same reply to her eager d,neslion, for the brig Good Luck had been lost a month ago, dashed on a lee shore, and ground to pieces by the sea, and will never come iu never nevermore. If they told her, she would not bolieve them, for (he woman and her child have supreme faith that the brig Good Luck would come iu soon with cargo and crew, though they have been asking the same question and prayer for many and many a day. Tl'en she goes across tho street and winds her way along the bales aud boxes and passing carts, aud througli all (he hubbub and bustle of the wharf, and climbs a flight of stairs to where the brig owners have their office. They are used to seeing her. They smilo sadly when she enters with tho child, and look sig nificantly at one another, as much as to say : 'Poor thing! she's mad. No won der, no wonder !' Mad ! Yes, she is mad with 'hope deferred,' with anxicly lo meet her husband, Caleb Shelter, master-of the brig Good Luck; to meet the master of the brig, her husbaud and tho father of her child. Why does ho stay away lrom her so long? Is the Good Luck in yet?' she ask 8 of a clerk. Not yet, ma'am.' 'She is cxpcctedjOf course,to-day ?' 'Of course.' 'There's a vessel coming in now. I see the tall masts. Look!' point ing out of tho office window to the river front. 'Maybe that's it. Effie, doar, look! there's father's vessel, with father on board.' Tho child clasps her little hands nt tho eight. 'Sorry to say that ain't it, ma'am,' says tho clerk, relapsing into his cal culations aud paying no more atten tion to tho woman. Sho stares out of (ho open window at the approaching vessel drawn by a tug, and then with a blank look upon her face and a moan that is heart-rendering, says : 'No Effip, no! That is not the Good Luck. I can seo tho figure head. The figure-head of tho Good Luck is an angel ; a white and gold angel. No, no, that isn't it.' 'But, papa will soon come home, won't he, mamma?' 6aid tho child. Old Mr. Tawmati, who is the head of the establishment, horc came from behind his desk, and, approaching the woman, said, in a kind tone : Mrs. Shelter, sit down; make yourself as comfortable a3 you can in a dingy office like this. Here, little one, como hero and give me a kiss. A bright, pretty little dear, Mrs. Shelter.' She looks pale,' said the mother. 'Sho is very tired, aud has been walking too much.' The old gentleman sits down and lifts the little girl on his knee and kisses her. She winds her arms around his ueck and says : 'You will tell my papa to como soon, won't you?' Yes, dear.' It was the habit of this firm to pay a sort of peusion monthly to the widows of captains who were lost in their service. Il was not much of a stipend, but only half-pay, but it was certainly a blessing in very many cases. Mrs. Shelter, had al ways recoivod her husband's money here, while ho was at sea, or it was sent to her when she was sick or tho weather was bad. 'Ah, Mr. Tawman, I'm sure the Good Luck will be in to-day.' 'Certainly it will. What's to hin der it?' ho answers. Ho puts the child down and goes over to his desk, and unlocking his drawer, he takes out an account book and begins writing a receipt. Then he goes over into the cashier's room. While he is there tho tele graph operator calls him over. Click, clickety, click goes the magic instrument, repeating its dot and dash message. 'Hear that?' says the operator. That's news for you !' The proprie tor could read every word by its sound. 'It's like a message from God,' says Mr. Tawman, reverently. 'I must not tell her.' He comes back to where the wo man is sitting; his faco is flushed with emotion; some strange excite ment. He throws into her lap a bundle of bank notes. There, Mrs. Shelter,now go home. Take a car at the door.' 'Oh, I'm not tired. And I should like to bo hero when tho brig comes in. But I thank you so much.' 'Hero, little oue,' says tho good hearted Tawman, 'here's something for you to buy candy with.' Ho put into her tiny, outstretched baud a bright quarter of a dollar, aud laughs at tho wonder and delight of the little recipient. 'I'll keep tliia for my papa.' Poor little thing, sho is weary unto sleep. She cuddles herself iu the big chair and siuks into slumber in an instant. 'Now, Mrs. Shelter, you've had no dinner," says Tawman. 'Oh, yes sir.' 'Yesterday, perhaps, but I mean to-day. Go down with Mr. Pelton, there ; our young man wants some thing to eat. You soe we have ar rangements for the comforts of our clerks. Wo give them a hot dinner, and a good one, too.' 'There's no body there.' 'Go down there and ask tho waiter, George,' addressing Mr. Pelton, 'to give this lady a cup of tea and a piece of toast, some chicken, and all that.' Then, pausing a minute, as if pro priety and philanthropy are strug gling for mastery iu his miud, he said : 'No, no, George. Tell Henderson to send tho dinner up here; that's better.' The young man leave tho office again aud consults the telegraph operator. 'Send the message at onco, Mr. Lindsay, if you please.' He writes something a long mes sage, a very long message indeed but the President's message itself is not half so important, so interesting to those it concerns. Then, by the time the message is sent, tho dinner is ready in Mr. Tawmau's private office, whon Mrs. Shelter partakes of it, but does not think proper to waken the tired child that she may cat also. Then Mr. Tawman says: 'Now, you had belter go. I'll see to the child ; I'll bring the little girl up with me to-night.' 'No, no !' exclaims the mother, 'I must have my Elfio with me always, sir. You arc good though so very good. And is there no news of the Good Luck?' 'Not a word, I'm sorry to ay.' 'It can't be possible. The brig must como in to-day.' 'I'm suro I hope so with all my heart and soul, Mrs. Shelter.' 'I know you do,' she responded with a sigh. 'Now go. I'm sorry you havo to wake the child, but I suppose you can't help it.' 'Come, Effie,' says the mother, touching her lightly on the shoulder. The child with a start awakes and cries : 'It is my papa. Dear, dear papa.' Then, seeing her disappointment, she burst into tears. 'Don't cry, dear, don't cry; the brig will como in. Don't cry.' The good old man speaks sooth ingly to tho sobbing child ; and tho mother, catching her hand, walks sadly away, followed by Mr. Taw man, who lifts the little girl down stairs, and helps her and her mother into a car. Tho next morning the mother is again loitering about the wharves with tho same agonizing inquiry. Sho again puts the question to the wharfman, and again only receives the same answer. Then, as before, sho seeks the office of the brig own ers, still accompanied by her little girl, and asks : 'Has the brig Good Luck come in yet ?' 'Not yet, ma'm.' She sighs and looks out -of the window at the shipping. Sho says sho will wait for Mr. Tawman, and sits down. When Mr. Tawman comes in, as usual, ho greets her yery kindly, and kisses the little girl, and says: 'I'm sorry the brig isn't in yet.' 'Will it be in to-day?' 'I hope so.' And then ho goes behind his desk, and lookB over his letters. Ho has not long been engaged in his cor respondence when a scream from the woman startles him. She had risen, aud is pointing excitedly out of the window. 'Here is a ship coming in. Look! look!' 'That's not it,' says a clerk, 'that is a schooner.' 'Oh, no,' adds Mr. Tawman, 'that is not the Good Luck.' It is, it is!' She darts from the office, dragging the child after her; runs across the bustling wharf, out to tho vory edge of tho water. Mr. Tawman rushes to the window, opons it, and calls to her. To no purpose, how ever. All the clerks cluster around the widow to catch sight of her. 'Tho woman is mad,' says ono. 'She's going to drown herself.' Tawman says quietly to the tele graph operator: 'Is it tho Mary?' Tho schooner is being towed up the rivor by a tug. She Is making preparations to anchor in (ho stream opposite tho wharf. All this time Mrs. Sholtor is standing in the midst of a crowd of excited people waving handkerchiefs, and tho little girl is waving hers. 'Look look thore ! There's a man overboard !' cried one of the clerks. A cry of alarm goes up from the wharf. 'Heavens!' exclaimed Mr. Taw man, thoroughly aroused. 'What doos that mean?' 'Ho is swimming like a fish,' says a clerk. 'He has landed. Listen to the cheers.' 'Look, look !'shoutcd the operator. 'She is hugging him ; so is tho little girl. It's Captain Shelter!' 'Thank God !' exclaimed Tawman, 'and pray heaven sho may not sink under the shock. Poor woman! how she clings to the drenched man ! Dear, dear!' Then he pntfl on his hat and runs down (he steps like a boy, and darts over lo whero husband and wife and child are united and happy. 'Ah!' he exclaimed, shaking the Captain by the hand, and not caring for the gaping and wondering crowd all around him ; 'this is good luck, isn't it, eh! Did you get my tele gram ?' 'When the man can speak he an swers: 'Yes.' 'I planned it all!' chatters old Tawman. 'Yon see, I got a dispatch yesterday from tho Breakwater, say ing that Capt.'Sholter had been picked up on a raft by (ho schooner Mary. I told her in the car yester day that the brig would come in, and come in it did? Over to the office, every ono of you, and after dinner and dry clothes, Captain, we'll have a talk about business. Come on.' IfoHHellOltl IllHtN. Common lyo of wood ashes will soften hard putty- in a few minutes. Tho fumes of a brimstone match will remove berry stains from a book or paper engraving. Dry paint is removed by dipping a swab with a handle in a strong solution of oxalic acid. It softens it at once. If thcro is rust on your flat iron, or other roughness, put some finu salt on a board and rub it rapidly while warm, until it moves smooth ly. A single drop of sosquipedc chlo ride of iron, put on a corn between the toes, once n day, with a camel's hair brush, will effect a marvollous cure. Ten grains of oxalic acid in half a pint of water will rcmovo all ink and water stains. Wet the article in hot wator, and apply it to the top of the bottlo, so that tho liquid will reach it, then rinse it well. Keep some strong spirits of harts horn in a ground glass Htoppered bottle; a teaspoonful in a table spoonful of water will clean combs and brushes, and restore colors in jured by acids. A weaker solution, applied to ill-smelling feet and arm pits, removes tho odor, and removes grease spots from carpets aud cloth ing. A weak solution in water makes a good wash for the hair, aud stimulates its growth when impair ed by fever, and cleanse1 the scalp effectually. A weak solution scat tered over the leaves of plants from a fine, soft, limber brush, gives new life to the plants. Even if a little is sprinkled over tho earth at thoir roots their growth is invigorated. Boils and whitlows aro reliovod or dissipated in their earlior stages by using tho tincture of camphor. Dip a finger In the camphor and rub it over the boil ; do this eight or ten times aud repeat ever four hours during daylight. For whitlow, dip (he finger into the camphor and let it remain ten minutes; this often gives immediate relief. Repeat every three hours during the day until cured, eating nothing, mean while, but coarse bread and butter and fruits. Prepare the camphor thus: Put an ounce or more in a vial, fill with alcohol, shake it well; some of the camphor should always be seen at the bottom ; this ensures a saturated tincture, which is the strongest. In Chiua men buy their wives for cash. In this country men give their notes, and after marriage the women take it out in hair. 71 A Story About Key. I havo another Btory about Judge Koy, tho Postmaster-General, who is not only the best naturcdjnan iv the Cabinet, but who does not hesi tate to tell a joke upon himeelf. Il was upon tho surrender of the rebels that Licut.-Col Key, of a Tennessee rebel regiment, found himself in North Carolina, vory poorly oil' for clothes, surrounded by his wife and six children, also poor in raimcut, without a dollar of money that would buy a rasher of bacon and a pint of corn meal. He had a few dollars of Confederate money, but it was not worth the dirty paper it was printed on. Judge Key says the world has seemed dark to him boforo now, and that the silver Iin ing of the clouds that tho poets sing about was not oven trcrmau. silver. Indeed, ho thinks the lining wiu the blackest part of tho clouds. He knew not where to turn. Nearly everybody about him was as poor as ho was, and tho suffering through the section of the State in which he found himself was very great. He appealed to his wife, a woman of stout heart, who still blesses his ex istence, and sho was more hopoful. He had nothing in tho world but a half starved mule that had been his war horse for many months. This was before tho days of the Commune, aud he didu't know that mule meat was good ; besides, he did not want to kill his war horse that had carried him through so many deadly breaches. Before Judge Key and his excellent family, howovor, had reached that point whore prayers take the piticc of hunger, relief enmo. An old resi dent of North Carolina heard ol Key's necessities and helped him out. He irave him seed to sow. a w 7 shanty to live iu, and some land to till, also a small supply of bacon and corn meal. The Judge then went to work. Ho beat his sword into a ploughshare, and he beat his fiery charger into a plow horse. He worked with his little family, and lived scantily the wholo summer long. Thcro was no fancy farming about iL It was hard work and small nubbins. Whcu the corn was sold the Judge had 80 in despised Yankee greenbacks. "Too fruitful love his fruitless life outrau,''liow cvor. He had so mauy children that he could not pay their fare by the railroad. His ISO would not reach. So he decided to go across country with his war horse aud a rigged-up cart. The tribulatious of that jour ney the Judge will never forget. His wifo iusistcd on carrying the money for fear it would be lost, and finally sho lost it, and there was wailing in the camp. The heavy hearted party rot raced their slops, and Heaven rewarded them. Tho cotton purse, with its priceless con tents, was found on the ground where Mrs. Key had slept. Then thero was joy aud thanksgiving. No doubt thoy issood an extra ration of corn meal to tho children that night. Judge Koy says that ho had been intimate with Andrew Johnson, who was then President. They had been close friends in Tennessee, but ho did not know to what length John son's temper would carry him. Johnson proposed to hang all the robols at that time. So Key, while he was in North Carolina, bethought: him to write to Johnson, and see what would come of it. Tho pco plo wero in a very unhappy, uncer tain and anxious stato of mind, and Key wroto all tho circumstances at length. He waited a reply with a good deal of apprehension. It came in due course of maila very kind, brotherly letter, inclosing a pardon ! Judge Key had not asked for this, and he was quite overwhelmed. Ho says ho has in his lime had some important aud interesting papers in his hands, but he shall never treas ure a document as ho treasures that. What became of tho Judge's mule I nover heard. Probably it closed its career as all children's stories end by living in peace, dying in groase, and boing buried in a hunk of tal low. Mrs. Koy,who loBt the money, is now the popular wife of the Postmaster-General, as handsome aud genial a matron as you can find iu a week's travel. She is the mother of nine children and is iu tho full blush of middle-aged womanhood. Washington Cor. Phil. I'iines. Young men should beware of the following paragraph, which was started by a Philadelphia paper, aud is now going the rounds. The chances are that the man who wrote it is tied to a woman with a hand liko a Japanese fan, and a voice that would make a buzz-saw pauso in as tonishment. It reads: "Marriage is a safe way to gamble; if you win, you win a pile, and if you lose, you don't lose anything." A Connecticut man recently said : "Lend me a dollar. My wife" lias loft me, aud I want to advertise that I am not responsible for her debts." JLlHCoInV CJettj'sbHrf OratI Col. Lamon's assertion. thatLia coln's ppocch at Gettysburg (Nov. 19, 1803) attracted no attention until sumq lime aftcc his death, has pro voked such.., a Tariejy of criticism that the speech itself will not bo uninteresting reading: "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived iu liberty and dedicated to the propo sition that all men are created equal. "Now we arc engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that na tion, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of thai war. We arc met lo dedicate a portion of it as the final resting- place of thoso who hero gave (heir lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. "But in a laiger sense we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled hero consecrat ed it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note nor' long remember what we may say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work that they havo thus far so nobly carried on. It is rather for ns to be here dedicated (o the great (ask remaining before us that from these honored dead bc lake increased devotion to the cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vain, that the nation shall, under God, have n new birth of 'freedom, and that the Govern ment of the people, by the- people, and for the people, ehflllnot perish from the earth." If brevity be Ihc soul of eloquence ns it is of wit, then this address de serves the very highest praise. And whcu we analyze the manner and the matter, it is indeed difficult to see how anything substantially bct (cr could be crowded into the same small compass. Yet no point of real importance U left untouched, aud the points touched are driven home to the dullest mind iu that simple aud earnest language of which Lincoln was a perfect master. Only nn orator can appreciate an orator, and it is reported that Ed ward Everett who was to follow the President in an elaborate effort lasting over an hour said to him : "Sir, your address will be rcmem-j . bcrcd aud cherished when mine i forgotten." And so it has turned out. Yet Everett was perhaps the most thoroughly accomplished ora tor America has produced, and the Gettysburg oration was not un worthy of his high renown. If les offective than his predecessor, it was because (he one appealed (o the head and (he other to (he heart ; and at such times and places the feeling are of more consequence than the intellect. j$7.
