I should have guessed it was his if I had not | 
seen his name; blue is so becoming to me, too !’’ 
Mrs. WiTOKKELL looked a little anxiously at 
her niece as she lifted the other box and laid it 
on her lap. Rktta hesitated a moment, while a 
delicate flush warmed her check, then resolutely 
lilting the cover, she looked within. She gazed 
at the contents so long that her aunt finally 
leaned toward her to see what hud put such a 
spell of silence on the red lips. No jewels, 
flashing in the sunlight, met her gaze, but up 
from the open box stole a subtle fragrance that 
reminded one of bright summers with glints at 
green fields, and songs of happy bird*; and down 
on the green moss, with which the box was 
lined, rested a tiny hunch of blue violets. A 
simple gift, but one which brought the tears 
into Rktta’ s eyes. 
llow curiously they carried her hack to those 
days when her richest treasures were a mother’s 
smile and loving words; when wealth, with all 
its attendant cares, was a thing unknown, and 
she found her chief delight In roaming over the 
mcadowB and by tbe sunuy, rippling brook she 
remembered so well, plucking blue violets like 
these. 
THE BLUE AND THE GRAY 
“ Not yours, certainly! They were my Christ¬ 
mas gift!” 
He looked down into her lifted eyes, and the 
Btory he read there, though it was as old an one as 
tbe world has ever known, was so sweet that he 
fain would have gathered her up close—this fair 
blossom—to wear on his breast forever. Perhaps 
she read this feeling in his face, for she said, as 
the little white hand nestled a moment in his, 
“ I love you very dearly, Charm*.” 
“My darling! Then has God blessed me, 
indeed J” 
“And has he not blessed me, too?” Bhe 
asked, softly. 
“Ah! little Kbtta, if my love, and care, and 
tenderness can avail aught in blessing and con¬ 
tent, it is all 1 ask.” 
“ I am happy now,” she said, quietly, “ hap¬ 
pier than ever in all my life before.” 
A sweet silence fell between them for a mo¬ 
ment, till he lifted her hand to his lips; then 
bending down he left a kiss upon tbe cluster¬ 
ing blossoms in her hair. Rktta blushed and 
smiled, as she said gently, “ You have conse¬ 
crated my Christmas token, dear. Hereafter, it

By the flow of the iuland river, 
Whence the fleets of Iron have fled, 
Where the blades of the grave-grass quiver. 
Asleep are the ranks of the dead 
Under the sod and the dew, 
Waiting the Jud.mcnt day; 
Under the one, the Bine; 
Under the other, the Gray. 
These in the. rollings of glory, 
Those In the gloom of defeat, 
All with the battle blood gory, 
In the dusk of eternity meet; 
Under the sod and the dew. 
Waiting the judgment day; 
Under the laurel, the Blue; 
• Under the willow, the Gray. 
From the silence of sorrowful hours 
The desolate moum«rn go, 
Lovingly laden with flowers 
Alike for the friend and the foe;— 
Under the sod and the dew, 
Waiting the Judgment day; 
Broidered with gold, the Blue; 
Mellowed with gold, the Gray. 
So when the Summer calleth. 
On forest and field of grain 
With an equal murmur falleth 
The cooling drip of the rain ; 
Under the sod and tbe dew. 
Waiting the Judgment day; 
Wet with the rain, the Blue; 
Wet with the rain, the Gray. 
Badly, but not with upbraiding, 
The generous deed was done; 
In the storm of the years that are fading, 
No braver battle was won: 
Under the sod and the dew. 
Waiting the Judgment day; 
Under the blossoms, the Blue, 
Under the garlands, the Gray. 
No more shall the war-cry sever, 
Or the winding rivers he red; 
They banish our anger forever 
When they laurel tbe graves ol our dead ! 
Under the sod and the dew, 
Waiting the judgment day; 
Love and tears for the Blue, 
Tears and love for the Gray.

Milton, though he had been so actively en¬ 
gaged in the civil wars, was snfifered to live in 
peace after the restoration, and was even admit¬ 
ted sometimes to an interview with Charles II. 
One. day the good natured monarch said to him, 
“ Pray, Mr. Milton, don’t you think the loss of 
sight is a judgment upon you for writing so 
much against my father?

A certain Judge was once compelled to 
double in with an Irishman in a crowded hotel, 
when the following conversation ensued:—“ Pat, 
you would have remained in the old country a 
long time before you could have slept with a 
Judge, would you not?” “ Yis, yerhouor,” said 
pat, “ and 1 think yer honor would have been a 
long time In the old country before ye’d been a 
Judge, too.” 
A oknc ink “palidee” quite aged, living some 
miles out of town, came into a telegraph office 
one day to sell some “praties,” and seeing the 
instrument, battery, etc., wondered if that was 
the telligraft. After gazing steadily for several 
minutes, he said he had always wanted to ask 
one question; and this Is it:—“ Is the wire hol¬ 
low on the inside or on the outside ?” 
“ Why is the letter D like a ring ?” 6aid a 
yonng lady to her accepted, one day. The gen¬ 
tleman, like the generality of his sex in such a 
situation, was as dull as a hammer. “ Because,” 
added the lady, with a very modest look at the 
picture at the other end of the room, “we 
can’t be wed without it.” 
Perhaps the best pun recorded was that in¬ 
scribed on a tea-chest, viz:—“ Tudoces." These 
words are the second person singular of the verb 
dorco , to teach, and wben literally translated be¬ 
come, “Thou Tea-chest.” 
Who were the first newspaper subscribers of 
whom we have any account ? Cain, who took 
A-bell’a Life, and Joshua, who ordered the Sun 
to be stopped. 
“ Sam, why am Members of Congress like de 
fishes?” “I don’t meddle wid de Bubjec, 
Pomp.” “ Why, don’t you see,iiigga, dey’s so 
fond of debate.” 
Candor, in some people, may be compared to 
lemon drops, in which tbe acid predominates 
over the sweetness. 
She looked up at her aunt, with the 
bright drops yet clinging to the long eye¬ 
lashes, but wLtb a smile glimmering through 
the mist of happy tears. 
“ Well, darling, which will you wear ? ” said her 
aunt, as she touched ligbtly the sapphire brace¬ 
let, which was still clasped on the rounded arm. 
For all answer the jewel was replaced carefully 
in the little casket, and put aside on the tiny 
work-tahle In the comer, while the. contents of 
the other box were carefully lifted, placed in an 
exquisite little dish lined with gold, sprinkled 
with fresh water, and left just beside her where 
she could look at them as often as she pleased. 
When the early shadows began to steal into 
the room where they sat, talking, Rktta went 
up stairs to her own room, and was there alone 
for half an honr, coming down finally to Mrs. 
WiTHKRELL, who, accustomed as she was to her 
loveliness, could not repress an exclamation of 
pleased surprise. Rktta had chosen a soft, 
silken fabric, just the shade of her violete, with 
no ornament* save the bunch of flowers; half of 
them hidden in the folds of her soil, brown 
hair, the others resting on her bosom. Delicate 
lace shielded her neck and arms, lutlf-hidiug, 
half-revealing her womanly charms. No one 
knew of the tiny note hidden away close to 
her beating heart; of the glowing words which 
told of a love strong, and true, and pure, vowed 
for a life-time; yet many, as they watched her 
in the crowded rooms that uight wondered at 
the new look of happiness (hat had blossomed 
in her eyes, the glad Bralle which lingered around 
the beautiful mouth. She was queen of the fes¬ 
tival, sought by all with merry word of welcome 
and looks of delight, for Rktta had won friends 
by her geutle, winning way6 more than by her 
beauty nr her talents. 
It was late that eveuing when two wen entered 
me room. ELWOOD t orranok, w ith his usual 
look of assured welcome, greeted his hostess and 
then paused a moment while his eye roved over 
the groups of fair women and brave men, until 
it rested on Rktta Gilbert, who, just then, 
stood a little apart from tlic gay throng. Has¬ 
tening to her side, he said, impetuously, 
“ 1 have already wished Miss Rktta a ‘ Merry 
Christmas,’ yet I may wish her once again many 
returns of the gala day.” 
“Thank you,” came in a low voice from 
Rktta’s trembling lips. It. was all she could say. 
“ W ill you join the promenaders ? ” he asked, 
ottering his arm, yet leading her a moment later

Years have passed away since that happy 
Christmas night, and Rktta and her husband 
are still glad and contented in their homo, and 
more than glad In the dear little ones already 
gathered about their warm fireside. Rktta has 
never repented of her choice, and she often 
takes out from the little white box, her withered 
bunch of violets, smiling to think there are no 
jewels in the world so precious as these, and none 
for which she would he tempted to exchange 
them.

A. S. HALE & CO., Hartford, Conn. 
A correspondent of the Boston Journal 
writes from London, under date of April 5th, as 
follows : 
“The nouse of Commons is composed ol 685 
members. By a strange oversight, tho hall will 
not hold more than half of them. They draw 
seats lor one night, and that after prayers. The 
drawing consists of the members putting their 
cards in a little groove on the back of the

to go Into the gallery, and those who cannot sit 
have to stand. The House has a literal bar, be¬ 
low which is the Beers’ seat, and no Peer of the 
realm is allowed on the floor of tbe House of 
Commons. 
While the House of Lords has a gallery for 
ladies, and its debates are attended by ladies of 
quality as well as others, the House of Com¬ 
mons will not allow a lady within Its walls. 
Above the reporter’s seat, and behind the Speak¬ 
er, is a caged closet, capable of holding sixteen 
persons, with an Iraq grating, not unlike u nun¬ 
nery, is round the gallant ar'pomrnodntlnn for 
ladles connected with the House. Within this 
den, and behind the grating, having obtained a 
written permission from the Speaker, which is 
regarded ns a great privilege, ladies sit and hear 
.the debates, although they are invisible to the 
debaters. 
The Speaker embodies the dignity of the 
House, ne is chosen for life. He usually 
serves lor about six years, then takes a pension, 
and goes into the House of Lords. He has a 
salary of $85,000 per annum. He occupies a 
sumptuous house, most niagiiificlently furnished 
at the expense of the nation. The plate be¬ 
longing to the house, at which lie gives ceremo¬ 
nial dinners, cost the nation $850,000. Every 
night, on the opening of the house, crowds as¬ 
semble to witness the procession from his house 
to the chair. 
The division of the House is very curious. It 
operates frequently like a snap judgment. A 
call is made for a division. A three-minute glass 
iu front ol the Speaker is immediately turned. 
When the sands ruti out the doors are closed, 
*aml uo one is admitted until the vote is Liken. 
•Members are iu all sorts of places—in the libra¬ 
ry, in the smoking-room, In the eating-room, in 
the lobbies, and in the committee rooms. To 
reach these absent ones, and get them in the 
House within three minutes, is often a difficult 
task. 
There arc 36 bells leading from tbe House of 
Commons to all parts of the great bulldiug. Im¬ 
mediately on a call for a division, these bells are 
rung. Whippcrs-in are busy, and men scramble 
from all imaginable places to get inside tbe 
flonse before the three minutes expire. The 
rule is inexorable. The doors are closed prompt¬ 
ly on the second. The Queen herself could not 
get iu. Men file out from dliferent ends of the 
room, go through different passages, have their 
names written twice, and come back by differ¬ 
ent doors.

eyes rested on them. One picture, hanging just 
over the low mantle, arrested her wandering 
gaze. It was the face of a young girl — a face 
with a gentle, quiet look about it, the mouth 
tender and sweet, the dimpled chin lifted a little, 
and in the soft, brown eyes, u look of eager ex¬ 
pectation, such as we all love to sec on a young 
face anywhere. The eyes reminded you some¬ 
how of Rett a’ s own, and, as she looked, she 
half sighed, while the merry smile faded from 
her face, as she said, aloud, 
“ Yes, that’s like me, Bure enough! I am just 
wishing for something, too, though what it is, I 
scarcely know.” 
The door opened and closed as she uttered 
this exclamation, and she glanced up to meet 
her Aunt Withehelt.’s loving eyes. 
“ Are you sure you don’t know what it is you 
want, pet?” she said, laughingly. 
The brown eyes fell shyly, as she replied in a 
low voice, “ I suppose I want, really, to make 
up my mind to something, and 1 fear to do it.” 
“Why, Rktta?” 
“ Because, I am not sure that I kuow my own 
heart yet, Auntie Kate!” 
“And who d . sc wants to know it, darling ?” 
Mrs. Witherkll sat dtnvn on the lounge, and 
Rktta’s slender hand stole confidingly into her’s 
as she told her trouble. 
“ You remember you were to take me to Mrs. 
Harrison’s to-night, auntie, and last week I 
received two proposals which I must answer 
there, and that is what puzzles me.” 
“ May I know who they arc, these rival friends?” 
“ One is Charlie Gorham, and the other 
Elwood Torrance. Each, when I failed to 
answer them, made the same proposition; that 
when I should appear at Mrs. Harrison’s 1 
should wear the gift which would he brought, to 
me this morning, if there was any love in my 
heart for the giver.” 
“ And have the gifts come ? ” Mrs. Wttttkrm.t, 
asked, curiously.

“ Simply because 1 do not love you as a woman 
should love the man she promises to morrv.” 
“ But you would learn to love me in time,” he 
replied.

asked, faintly. “ I am quite sure I never could.”

incredulously; “you may even he wearing the

replied, “No sign of bondage, Elwood Tor¬

but sigti of a sincere love for a true man." 
Her voice died enddenly into a startled silence, 
for before she could say more, she found herself 
alone. She hesitated a moment, while tears of 
mortification filled her eyes; but'she brushed 
them hastily away alter a glance toward the open

TRUE VIRTUE, 
The creation of the sculptor may inolder in 
the dust; the wreath of the bard may wither; 
the throne of the conqueror may he shivered by 
an opposing power into atoms; the fame of the 
warrior may be no longer hymned by the record¬ 
ing minstrel; hut virtue—that which hallows 
the cottage and sheds a glory around the palace 
—shall never decay. It is celebrated by the an¬ 
gels of God. It is written on the pillars of 
heaven and repeated down to earth. The rock 
breaker who possesses it is more noble than the 
intriguing statesman. I would rather be in his 
place; I would rather have the Inward glory 
with which the poor man is crowned, than over¬ 
shadow the world with martial banner. I would 
not exchange his lot for the reputation of a 
Byron, the eloquence of a Mirabean, or the in¬ 
tellect of a Bacon. I may be despised here, but 
If 1 possess true virtue, then I shall tower above 
them all, when the guilty shall tremble in their

“Ah, hero they are! Well, now we shall see
