He was an army officer of "the old school," and many years ago was stationed hi command of a garrison in'this city ,(New -York). I3je ;fsuilily; 'yt'ae with him, and the qid colonel 'ltd .plenty of time to 'attend to .domestie as well as military discipline. In the household brigade was a bright, quick, pretty Irish Maid, Ellen Mtiione, especially detailed for duty attendant on the wants of my youthful Aunt Rita. The girl was a general favorite and well ueserved_ all the kind words and feelings bestowed upon her. A certain sergeant, noted for his trim "set up" acid more than average intelligence and education, was soon attracted to the pretty Ellen, and it was plain that his at- tentions were by no Gleans distaste- ful. Darcy Boyle, as he called hila' self, was a model soldier of the typo of "•:ock your cap—carry a cane— slap your leg an wink at the girls," and being also as efficient for ser vice, (and he had proven het was) 58 for oriatineat—titiefellow had grown •in grace with 111y colonel, who dearly loved "snap " in a soldier and who also suspected that Boyle w'rs the wild goat of some good family front over the water. S whet' the courtship of the_ dashing sergeant and blooming Ellen was made plain to the eyes" of the old chief he chuckled at lir..t over the thought of the "fine pair" they would wake, then became serious as he thought of the wide difference iu their respective stations ip life, pro- viding Boyle actually was .what he believed him to be. •He knew he had no right to inter- pose his authority, still he 'would have done so without hesitation had he itot been well aware that such interference would only make cash of the lovers more determined and bring a :stt.'rs to a climax at once, while, dry waiting, something mi�gltt occur to bri•,uk oll the friendship, or it might die out from its own flame. •the colonel said nothing, but Navin'+ little else to do, Its watched and worried, Bayle :;ceras[ to be- earnestly, en tirely sineere, nut' as for the girl, it was plebe Nht 1011 surrendered her whole heart to the man and gloried in the thought of Amy a on such a prize. i%ly Roo, 'Rita, filo: tup'st. young wotiVoi, lael it'.; i4lttf,t:w•ly interested in the love afftirs of her maid, and, 'influenced by the gallant heariee, and -good. looks of the sergeant, helped on the affair all in ' her po Wel•. So it was not very long before, one fin.' day, tIp young mistress .ted her atten'lant meds a vi.'iit iuto the, city, ,end, tee it happened, Boyle obtained 24 hours' leave at, the saute time. He and '.liths returned `to the 'garrison matt and wife, tied as tightly and honestly as minister auel witnesses and all legal authority •c•oulti' join them. The colonel stormed lit his dough ter and at the st+wly—niarri sl pair ; swore Boyle should spend his wed- ding night in the guarrf-Louse and Ellen be t' saint packing" at once, and raised a row gener..11y—at first ; then quieted down, called himself, an "old fool " for bother.. ing• his Head Rime such matters, and consents I that the pair •should occupy f1:intimli of the headquarters And so all went on as before, the man attended to his duties, the girl •:Ontieuetl to serve hey aunt, told for months it seemed never to Otx er to the minds of any that such arram,e• tuent shonl•l evealstiffer ft eh;.n';,c.

"Now, gond bye ; be as good a elan as you have been a soldier, and God bless you." The ex•sergefant sailed away, Ellen alone went to see him off' in the great packet ship ; this was be- fore the day of ocean • steamers, please remember ; and, then the lonely -wife returned to her duties in waiting on my stunt, and with well. assumed cheerfultless busied herself more than ever to " kill time," until word should arrive from her hus- band. She had insisted upon his taking every cent of her savings, in order that he alight Make a geed appear- ance and be independent of his family when he once more joined them, and he had taken it, no in- consieieraide sum, with the selfish— ne8N peculiar to a 11150.

It is early evening in the summer, along a road, well shaded by trees and bordered 'with shrubbery, -comes slowly a hooded, dusty woman ; she walks es though she were tired, so tired, and occasionally she halts and presses her (land against her 'heart. She is nearly there ; she knows it well ; there is the lionse, and she can lust catch:.t. glimpse of the now, grand one.

Blushingly s11e alswert:d : " No, 455078 ;it's a bit of foolishness Maybe, but I often heard of it before; when' two lovers part, they "split" a shilling, alit). so I broke a shilling piece in two halves, and put 'a hole and ribbon iii both, and one is rotted Durey's neck and this one is round none." " L','e heard of that also," said Aunt Ittta, "but I think he might have bought you something nicer than to take the broken half of what l MS's%v 111tVV l,•t'en your last shilling." "It was, ul;s8—the lust I had in the world-- and that helps the charm. I wanted no other gift. When guy half shilling Huila his, hewill be -with it or -I will be dead," and Ellen whispered tlisso solemnly that it could easily ! e seen that site was far from thinkislg that " rnay'be'it was foolishness." - Well, in due time came' a letter from -Boyle ansoumeing his safe_a- rival, his full reconciliation with his family, whom he had found greatly increased in wealth and import- ance, and so,• nt,that short notice, he had said nothing of Ellen or his marriage.

On one of those occasions these two great then, hav- ,iug gone to Carlyle's library to have a quiet chat together, seated themselves one on each sido of the fireplace, and lit their pipes. And there for two hours they sat, plune- ed in'profound meditation, the silence being unbroken save 'for tiro dry regular sound that' the Bps' of the sinokers made as they sent puffs of smoke soariun fo the ceiline. Not one single word. broke the silence., After two hours of this strange converse between two great souls that understood each other withoutspeech; Tennyson rose to take leave 'of his host. Carlyle went with him to it o door, and then, grasping his hand, utttered these words—'Eh, Alfred, we've had a grand nicht 1 Come back again soon.'

Dr. Crothers, (Journal of Ino- briety) says : Galton has pointed out some very 'curious facts con- cerlliug the children of professional men, which indirectly relates: to••15ly topic. He found from a study of the heredity of the largest scientific societies of London, that the legal profession presented the 1n08t emi- nent men and the fewest idiots. The medirrat 1IQfessiuln came next, and lastly clergymen, who produced the smallest 110411b81 of eminent then, and the largest number of idiots 'and feeble-minded. The lawyers gave origin t0 six times as nlally more ellllnent 111011 a4 the clergy. The clergy gave origin to six times as many more idots and feeble-minded as the lawyers. This curious fact evidently applies to Europe, Where the clergy do not re- present the brain vigor of thd' echI- Gated classes. It also indicates that occupation at the time of concep- tion, as well as physical vigor, has a power over the future Jf the child. fflF..1011 IT 'MING DEPARTMI)N1' of Tun News•I(econn is stocked with all the IStest ,to• signs'of type, suited for general printing.

An American tells of a pathetic incident that took place the other evening when a lot of Britishers were being naturalized in Chicago. One old fellow could not see the print on the naturalization paper, se he got It friend to read it. When the word. "renounce forever all allegiance and fidelity to every foreign prince, state, potentate and sovereignty whatsoever—mono es- pecially to Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdotn of Groat Britain and Ireland," were reached—the old man's eyes grow moist, and he said with a tone of sadness in his voice : "I've been a faithful subject of her fur so many years, and I delft know how she'll feel about it." But then ilio thought of the Republic where he had mado his home for years Catuo to'hitu and, rubbing laic big hand across his eyes, he signed the paper -that made hint a citizen.
