A New and Singular Chapter in her History. THE SECOND INTERVIBW OF MR. FITZGERALD AND WRS. CUNNINGHAM. The next Friday, five o'clock, both par- tres were at the matrimonial office, accordi to agreement. Mr. Fitzgerald ovkerved that Mrs. Cunningham had a pale, haggard and sleepy look and she felt called on to apologize, which she did by sayi uN was up all the previous night with a s E oe ‘Tam a great nurse, ‘sted sh whe, ‘and as yeu are complaining of a bad cold and head- ‘ache, i think I shalt have to try my skill with you.” Frank replied that he was indeed quite ill, and doubted not her treatment would soon re- store him; but at onee chan; the subject by inquiring after the rng Indy of whom she had previously spoken to him. Mrs. Cunningham replied that she was well. but that it took a widow for a good nurse; and otherwise managed to attract conversation to herself. She finally said - ~ L tell you what it is, sir, if you want to get cured. come with me. *- *Do you eam to introduce me to your farnik tenight Oh no. a ‘The time may come when that will do; but it will not do yet; you cannot even know my name. When we know cach other well enough—when I know who you are, and you know who I am, then I will invite you to my house. But until that time comes [ shall not dese.” ~I thought,” suggested Frank, “by your speaking of nursing me, that you would ‘take me under your care at home. ~ No. There are poy of restaurants where we ean go.- You are, I presume, acquainted with some of them.”” ~IT don’t know thatIam. The truth is 1 have led a very quite and straightforward life in New York.” ~ Well, there are plenty of places where we can go. There is oneat the corner of street and Broadway, where we can have a room to ourselves, and be waited on in good style.”” The conversation was interlarded with much irrelevant gossip, and by this time it was quite dark. Fitzgerald thought he fully compre- hended Mrs. Cunningham's meaning, and re- <olved to retreat atonce. He therefore, remark- ed that he was too unwell to jin longer, bat would go directly home. and take some medicine fer hiseold. Atthe same time he took out his poeket-book and said : I trust. madam, as I cannot remain longer to-night, you will not be offended if I offer you a small present. merely as 2 token of sincerity. It is, of course, but a trifle. and nothing to what I shall expect to do fer you if our ac- ance continues. Saying which he took out a formidable roll of bank notes, and handed her five dollars. Mrs. Cunningham tock the money without hesitation. and snid: ithank you. [have done nothing to deserve it; bat perhaps [ shall be able to in future.”’ ~At any rate you are quite welcume to so small a trifle; and I trust you will never have cause to charge me with ingratitude,”’ replied Frank He was about to leave. but Mrs. Cunningham eutled him back It is early yet,”” said she, --and I am really truabled about your cold. You have a very bad cough. I perceive. and if you are not at- tended to at once, I fear it will amount te some- thing serious fhe wpe not,”” replied Frank The truth is. there are few people who know to nurse a sick person,” she continued, uite earnestly. --I can cure you of your cold, t am sure. so you will not feel it to-morrow. Come! Go with me to the place I speak of.

Soe re le BEECHER ON PEW-RENTING. The New York Evening Post says the of pew-renting, as practived in most of our city eburches, of all denominations, has, from time to time, given rise to numerous complaints from those unreflecting grumblers who consider their rights invaded when, on entering a large and expensive church, they find no scats thrown open for their accommodation. There are, it is true, many free churches; while there-@re not more than a dozen generally so crowded as to render it difficult for a stranger to find a place. But where some popular man preaches, the building is usually filled, and the curious stranger, finding there is no convenient seat for him, waxes indignant, and perhaps writes ® letter to a newspaper, invariably askin; whether the apostles would have allowed hire¢ pews were they now the heads of the church. The annual letting of pews is sure to give oc- casion to these censorious comments. Corres- eae a find it a good opportunity nity to let off a ‘ew flings at “gospel shops;” and country jour- nals, wea with sudden horror, retail to their readers the New York market price of religion. The recent sale of pews at the P! Ply: mouth Church in Brooklyn has been noted in This way. The rent of Piymouth Church pews for the coming year amounts to $25,000, and one journal ‘‘can- not believe that it is right or Christian for one congregation to expend $25.000 for themselves, while many feeble churches are struggling for existence, and many self-denying ministers must rely on faith for the supply of their daily bread.’ Mr. Beecher, in the Independent of this date, expresses his “ae very clearly in re- gard to this subject. He assumes that the se- cular affeirs of a church have nothing to do with religion, and are as purely commercial and as su! t to it commercial laws, as is the pana of a coliege or bank. He says: Whenever a church comes to that part of its business which is secular and require commer- cial wisdom, then it must stand. just like any other honest concern, subject to all the equit- able laws of matter and money. The pews must be sold and taxed, or rented every year; and this must be oe peeely that all ma: have achance. And if the pews are not mune sought after, there will be but little trouble or complaint. But if the pews are fewer than the applicants; if ten men want seats when but one can be accommodated, how are we to select which shall have them ” Shall there be a perpetual scramble? Then the strongest will get them Shall they be rented privately’? Then the alert and shrewd will get them. Shall they be rented openly and in fair competition’? Then, inevitably, they must follow the commercial law. and the man who wants them most and has the means of paying the most, must have them. Now, it is very easy to stand off and rail. Will any one suggest a plan by which 5.000 men can ba ut into a h that will hold but 3.000? only a part are to be accommo- dated, will ae one tell a better method than pen competition upon fair commercial princi- ples ’ For the secular affairs of a church are Jase as commercial, and just as subject to right commercial laws, as is ee business of a bank, nufactory, an academy or college. uding to the fact that it is the rich who thus obtained the highest gespel privileges, Mr. Beecher, upon the principle that it is easier for acumel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, anys that these men, because they are rich, need preaching more than others; that they are uliarly liable to self-indulgence, pride, and cdees of heart, and require unusual efforts to keep them in the right path. He adds: It is not very easy for men * who do not live i es not to believe that it is right or ian for one congregation to expend .000 for themselves,”’ &e. If men that have money knew what to do with it balf as well as those do who give them advice without know- ing anything about their affairs, what a thrifty world this would be! Whatachurch spends annually is great or little, aecording to circum- stances. There are many country churches where $2,500 a year would be more extravagant than in others would be $25,000. But in this particular case the surplus funds are employed in paying off the debts and mortgages which lie upon the pi rty, and we hope that it is ot unehristian for a church to pay its honest debts. . How Jonx Sworr ror Betry.—The law of the State of Virginia prohibits marriage unless the parties are of lawful age, or by the consent of the parents. John N——, a well-to-do farmer in the Val- ley of Virginia, was blessed with every comfort exeept that desideratam—a wife. Johu cast his eyes around, but unsuccessfully, until they fell upon the form of Betty, daughter of John Joncs, one of the prettiest and nicest girls in the country. After a courtship of six weeks, Jobn was rendered happy by the consent of the fair Betty. The next day. John, with a friend. went to town to get the necessary documents, with the forms of procuring which he was most lament- ably ignorant. Being directed to the clerk’s office. John, with a good deal of hesitation, in- formed the urbane Mr. Brown that he was going to get married to Betty Jones, and wanted to know what he must do to compass that de- sirable consummation. Mr. Brown, with a binnd smile, informed him that, after bei satisfied that no legal impediment prevented the ceremony, he would, for the sum and con- sileration c 33, grant him the license. John, much Telieved. handed out the necessary funds. + Allow me,’ suid Brown, * toask you a few questions. You are twenty-one years of age, I suppose, Mr. N— *Yes,”’ said John. ~*Do you solemnly swear that Betty Jones, spinster, is of lawful age, (made and enacted by the Legislature of Virginia.) to take the mar- riage vow?” «What's that ?"’ said Jobn. ne B. repeated. M,”’ said John, ** Mr. Clerk, I want to get a ied, but I joined the church at the last revival. and I wouldn't swear for a hun- dred dollars.”” “Then, sir, you cannot get married.”” “Cant get married! Good gracious, Mr. Clerk, they'll turn me out of the church if I swear! n't refase me, Mr. Clerk, for heaven’s sake. I'll give you $10 if you let me off from sw ‘ti “Can't do it, ee x ’ “Hold on, Mr. Clerk, lL swear, I couldn't give up Betty for ten churches. I'll swear, may I be d——d if, she ain’t 18 years old— give me the license.’ After the clerk bursted a faw of the buttons of his vest. he granted the license.—Moxt- gomery (Ala.)
