GEOGRAPHICAL ENIGMA. 
THE STAMMERING WIFE 
You have seen the highest homage. 
That a flattering world could pay. 
Twined around the brow of Genius, 
Gaily strewn along his way. 
And you've seen the glowing record, 
Written in the book of fame, 
Telling you the deeds of honor 
That were wreathed around his name. 
And you've thought you could be happy, 
If your name could be arrayed ’ 
With the living flowers of glory, 
Set in wreaths that could not fade; 
And, receive the adoration 
That a wondering world bestows, 
On a daring heart that triumphs, 
As it upward, onward goes. 
But you have not seen the sorrows 
Which lhat noble heart hath known: 
Yon have only seen the splendor 
Of its laurels, fully blown. 
Far beneath that shining surface, 
Which the wondering world admires, 
Beats a heart of many sorrows. 
Throbbing with tumultuous fires. 
Though that heart’s in full possession 
Of the homage earth can give: 
Though the budding of its power. 
Has but just begun to live; 
Yet that heart is sad and lonely, 
And it longs for love and light: 
For beneath its outward blooming 
There is oft a dreary blight. 
Fame seems but a mockiDg echo 
To its “weary, sad unrest 
It has won her sounding honors. 
But they seem a vain bequest. 
Why then do we strive and labor. 
For the homage of the world ? 
Why do we, for Fame, press onward, 
Where her banner is unfurled ? 
Rather let us toil for Virtue, 
If for happiness we strive; 
If we tread the paths of goodness 
We will at her shrine arrive: 
Then, we shall rejoice in knowing 
That we’ve shaped our course aright- 
Let the world approve, or censure, 
We will live in Virtue's light.

formerly. Why should my youth and heanty be 
wasted in planning little economies, as a clerk’s

be gratified! At evening, having stifled love and 
conscience, I dressed to meet Mr. Hueton. He

though I gave him reason to expect my ans¬

Before sleeping, I wrote to Lawrence, saying 
as gently as possible, that I could not happily 
share his lot; that, brought up in luxury, though 
having no fortune of my own, I could not cheer¬ 
fully labor, as I ought, to make liis salary suffice 
for us; therefore I asked freedom from my en¬

the following words: 
“ Clara My best beloved —yon are free. I 
have nothing of yours to return, save a bit ol 
blue ribbon that once tied your curls. I retain 
that. Lawrence.” 
I felt, instinctively, that my freedom had been 
purchased at the price of mortal anguish to an¬ 
other, and would gladly have undone my w T ork. 
Shutting myself from every eye, that day, I did 
not weep, hut suffered none the less that tears

the night with a sick friend. By the way, he is 
passionately fond of flowers —give me those 
two, for they will fade before the day and others 
will come out.” 
I cut the flowers and be left me. The day fol¬ 
lowing, a messenger brought a request from 
Lawrence Elmore, that I would lend him, for 
one day, my rose-tree; he was ill, had heard of 
its wondrous heanty, and knew how 1 had rear¬ 
ed it, I could hut. send it, with every caution 
for its safety. Instead of calling that evening, 
Mr. Hueton wrote, saying he was staying with 
a dying friend. The thought that this friend 
was my discarded lover did not cross my mind. 
The next morning Mr. Hueton brought the 
rose-tree shorn of every bud and blossom. He 
placed it upon the table, saying: 
I “My friend, Lawrence Elmore, cut them 
off, and started upon a long journey with them 
in his hand 1” 
O, pity me! I crie-d, and fell senseless upon 
the floor. When consciousness returned, he 
was holding me against his heart; bnt with such 
a desolate, broken-hearted look in his fact' that 
I was fain to turn away my eyes. • * 
“Pity youl Clara,” said he, “pity mv! 1 
have lost my best loved friend, and my beloved 
wife. Lawrence did not williDgly betray your 
fault; itwaa only in the delirium of his dying 
moments, that I learned what had caused his 
illness and death,” 
Gently placing me upon the sofa, he left the 
house. 
The wedding invitations had not been given 
out, und were now delayed by my sudden illness.

It will he twelve years to-morrow, since my 
twentieth birthday. Your mother was one day 
past eighteen, but we always celebrated the fes¬ 
tivals together. Upon this occasion, uncle gave 
us a grand party. I dressed early, for my be¬ 
trothed, Lawrence Elmore, had promised to 
come before the company arrived, and bring me 
flowers. I anticipated something beautiful, lor 
his taste was exquisite. He came, bringing a 
bouquet of half-opened rose-buds, and blue vio¬ 
lets; besides this, a branch from a rose-tree, 
hearing three fragrant white buds, just ready to 
expand into full flower. The bud6 be insisted 
upon twining with his own hands among my 
braids and ringlets; which he accomplished 
with wonderful skill, making the green leaves 
and snowy buds gleam here and there among 
my dark curls, in a way that won praise and ad¬ 
miration from all. 1 My taste’ was commended, 
■again, and again, and I laughed the compliments 
off as best I could; for to no one, not even your 
mother, had I told the secret, of my engagement. 
Lawrence was a clerk, industrious and eco¬ 
nomical. Still, he deemed it not prudent to 
marry in less than two years, and I insisted that, 
if we waited so long, the engagement should 
not be public. My only motive was to avoid 
the comments and discussions of acquaintances. 
Our party passed pleasantly; the refresh¬ 
ments, music, flowers, everything were admir¬ 
able; the company were in fine spirits, and 
nothing occurred to mark it as a dark hour in 
any life. Among the guests was Mr. Hueton, 
just returned from a lengthened tour in South 
America. 
Early in the evening he was introduced to me, 
and entertained me greatly with accounts of 
wild adventures and descriptions of tropical 
scenery. Several times, during the evening, we 
were thrown together, and that subtle some- 
company, npon the fantastic ornamenting of a 
huge pie, “ did yon do this ? You’re quite an 
artist Pray, how did yon do it?” “Indade, 
mum, it was myself that did it,” replied Bridget. 
“ Isn’t it pretty ? I did it with your old false 
teeth, mum.” 
The following complacent Scottish remark 
npon Bannockburn was made to a eplenetic En¬ 
glishman, who had said to a Scottish country¬ 
man that no man of taste would think of remain¬
