Josephine Clare wes sittin® among her flowers in sunshine, blonde and golden-haired with blde eyes, and @ delicate little mouth. tinted with the softest crim<on. One dimple cleti her round chin, aud the peachy blcom upon her cheeks was such as comes only tosixteen. No wonder General St. Aubyn lost his heart to the wonderousiy beautiful child— it must have been an irou sortof machine if he hadnt. She rose with varying color to greet her fine old lover as be entered. « Josey,” he said, cheerily, after the words of salutation had been exchanged, +1 am notilone to-day; let me introduce ny nephew, Jumes Ashley! Josephine lifted her blue eyes to the stranger's face for the first time, with a wild, terrified gaze—the peach-blossom red faded frém her cheek, and the first General St. Aubyn knew she fainted in his arm: « What's the matter °* stammered the veteran im breathless terror. ~ Is she dead ! is she dy- ing!

There, m she’s comin’ round all right, don't you sev 7 The General looked on admiringly—all his ; military tactics seemed as nothing to the deft- ness with which Miss Betsey managed matters. «* What could have made you faint, my love !° he asked, when she was smiling again. «Tdon't iow,” she murmured: « it was the heat, I suppose!” “And where's Jim?” asked the perplexed | ‘warrior. } «If you mean that tall young shaver,” struck im Miss Betsey, «he’s gone home like a feller o° sense, serin’ he could’nt be o’ no use here.” «General St. Aubyn,” said Josephine, ia a very low voice, “I know you will think mea , silly little goose, but please don’t bring that young man here again!” « Josephine—my own love, why not!” + Because—becituse,” faltered the girl, play- | img with bis watch-chain, and hiding her | flushed face against his breast, “it's a whim of | Tine" «Well, just us you say, Josey,” said the old General, “but I must remark, it’s perfectly ‘unaccountable |” Women are unaccountable creatures,” said | “And now tell me | Josephine, trying to laugh. about your new pictures.” But long after the General has gone, the ebild-bride lay on the sofa, shuttingout Heaven's Might from her eyes with closely clasped hands, and breathing out the wild, wailing moans that ean come only from « broken heart. Poor, sac- Yificed Josephine Clare! ‘When General St. Aubyn returned to his room at the hotel, he found We floor with hurried steps. «Uncle, he said, looking up as the General entered, “I have changed my mind about that far-away official post in India. Will youobtain ahe appointment for me 1!" “Certainly; but, James, you would be obliged tw sail immediately ad “The sooner the better, cir. Every hour that I remain in this country seems an age to me.” “Jamec!” said General St. Aubyn, regard- ing his ‘w with a keen, ing gaze, what does thismean? And why does Jose- phine object to seeing you again? There is seme mystery here!” «I —. orb Heaven I nae ee ere I bad gone there to-day,” gasped As! “Ask me Bo farther, uncle—it is te for the happine-s ef all to bury the t in eternal oblivion !" General St. Aubyn stood a moment in deep Mought, as James hastily quitted the roem. Suddenly a new light seemed to break upon hhim—he grew deadly pale and clenched his hand firmly. «I have it!’ he muttered, between his teeth; “this is the girl to whom James was engaged before hB went to Europe, and that mercenary Sco! I Clare would have broken Bisownends. Itshall not be!” Two long hours4@en. St. Aubyn paced his room—the mental conflict was «! and fierce, but the noble heart triumphed. The next day Be sought Josephine's presence, after a long anterview with her father. «J hine,” he said, “would yon object’ to celebrating the wedding next week, insted of next month. She looked up in surprise. “A bridegroom is privileged te be impatient,” Re said, lightly. Mist shall be you desire,” she replied, pass- y- Pale and lovely as her own pearls, Joseph- ime Clare stood ra the threshold of the church, waiting for the bridegroom’s cortege. At Jength it came, and Gen. St’ Aubyn stepped forward. « Josephine,” he whispered, “my generous, noble girl, I feared the bridegroom of six would be ill suited to your fresh bloom, so I haye substituted one of twenty! Jim, come forward, you scamp! And I'm going to be on hand to give away the bride!” Josephine thought she was in a blissful dream; but no—it was true—and, almosi ere ashe could realize the new state of things, she Was tightly married to James Ashiey, her first and only love, and the General, folding herin his arms, whispered: «Your father and I have arranged matters all right, dearest! Don’t thank me; foralthough | A bave lost a wife, 1 have gained the sweetest Of little nieces! I’m quite satistied, Josey!” And so were Mr. and Mrs. James Ashiey. +202 + — . The Mutila of Dogs. __Itseems that Sir Edwin Landseer,one of the judges at the dog show m London, England, endeavored to exclude all dogs that had been | mutilated by ear-cropping or otherwise. The | 5 eee reason (Says 4 correspondent) for Sir win Landseer’s protest is, that the croppinz ‘of ears is most cruel and hurtful to the dog. ‘The cruelty complained of is not in the oper: tion; that after all is a small matter. It co: aists in depriving the animal of a detense which nature has given to it s earth and sand inte the e: these into the ears disir causing deatnes dogs, more or less, require to be protected fro sand and earth by overlapping exrs: b especially do terriers, literally “earth do: the species which, of al! others, is most per-e- cuted by cropping. They go into 2 burrow. their ears get full of sand, and they suffer ever afterward ely Sir Edwin Land- seer is right in suying that judges of dogs ought net to sanction such gross treatment of the animal, and that the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. should look to the practice. “The only excuse that ean be set up for the system ist delw ive o: t fightin dogs fare beter with ped, and the exigencies of fight- pet the inon for all others $A dash which in the seusitive gland the dog of his & good bite of it ear. and the ass: and lay his 9 Leave the dog his ear, and the as-u.

She was finally induced to reure to her apurtment—kitchen and drawing-room combined—the body was deposited in adjoining chamber, o standers gradually dispersed. This was about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Two or three howrs later, while several persons were arranging the corpse, the mourning wile was fireside, painfuily contemplating the interrap ted preparath she had been making for evenmg meal.when the outer door opened, as it was wont to do at that hour, familiar footsteps advanced, and lo! her husband stood before her, » hale and hearty as when be had left ber in-the morning to proceed to his daily occupation. Her consternation and that of his friends may ; be better imagined than described; and her sub- | sequent joy, when her senses were fairly re- stored. was almost a> fraatic as had been her former agony. The explanation is very simple. The de- | censed eveninaily proved to be an entire stfan- | H = wuced to be in the city on a visit. The »er- | sonal resemblance between the twoimen was | very strong, and their garme also similar. | Inthe horror of the moment, the recognition of the neighbors was not surprising, while | wife had already been apprised by 2 messen; | of the fatal event, and was prepared to receive her hushand’s corpse. Halt blind from weep- ing, she did not stop to scrutinize closely the familiar features, but, the first burst of griet | over, turned away to indulge her agony, leay- ing toothers the task of disrobing the corpse. Perhaps a subsequent examination of the cloth- ing might have led to a discovery of the error, | butthe probability is that, if, by any accident, her husband had that day met his death else- | where, and so never returned again to home, she would have followed the corpse ¢ , the stranger to its grave, upon which she wo: | thenceforth have deposited the immorteiles due | only to the memory of the real partner of her life. Mortar ror Buitvixnc.—In common prac- | tice, the cohesion of mortar is greatly impaired | by using too large a proportion of sand: it should never excerd two parts, by measure, to | one of lime paste. A cask of lime weighing 280 Ibs., made into eight cubic feet of lime paste, should be mixed with 16 bushels of damp sand. | The notion used to beegenerally entertained that the longer lime was slaked before it was used, the better would be the mortar made of | it. This, however, is not the case with our | common fat lime and sand mortars. The sand | should be mixed with the slack lime as soon as | the latter becomes cold, and no more water should be employed than will reduce the lime toathick paste. In preparing mortar, the ur- slaked lime should be placed on boards and | sheltered from the sun and rains; it shonld be iy The water necessary to slake lime should be poured upon it with any suitable vessel, and care should be taken to stir the lime so as to bring the water into contact with every por- tion, when it may be left until all the vapor has passed off. The sand may now be incor- ted with the lime by means of a hoe or shovel, and, if necessary, a little water may be added te produce a homogeneous, consistent paste, when it is ready for use. Sand from the sea-shore should never be employed for making mortar without being first washed with fresh | water, becanse the salt left in such sand is li- able to absorb moisture and prevent the mortar becoming hard. In putting up walls of brick or stone, care should be taken that the bricks or, stones be moistened before they come in contact with the mortar. Every brick and stone should be laid in a good bed of mortar, and should recetve a blow to fix it firmly. The bricks should not be laid merely as is the common custom, but forced down so as to press the mortar into all the pores and crevices. The superintendent of a building should give his personal attention to the vertical joints in the walls, as the masons frequently neglect to fill them up with mortar.—Scientific American. @7-Cotton is still king. At least it still rules supreme in Memphis. Scarcely a day passes that hundreds of our “country cousins" do not | come in with the urticle, which they are mighty | willing to part with at prices ranging from 35 i to 60 cts! Some of them tell us that the Con- | federate guerrillas forbid their bringing more | than a bale atatime. They enly wink at it, as | a special fayor to the needy planters who are | wanting in the necessary family supplies. On | our bluff almost any day there will be founda | whole regiment of country wagons and carts, | all having one or more bales, aud some of it brought from 50 to 100 miles to get to our | market. The guerrillas, atter all, are sensible. \ ‘Though their Master Jeff says the cotton must be burned to prevent the wi getting it, yet still when the farmers are stary- ing, and can’t furnish even descent meal for a& hungry “partisan.” as they delight to call themselves, they will have mercy and let the fied!
