ble Amanda, were clasping mother and me in one 
embrace, and bidding fair to go into hysterics, 
while — was I utterly insane?—J ames Parker 
stood close by nourishing his handkerchief in a 
melodramatic manner, and'begging, for the love of 
pity, that they wouldn’t entirely break his heart, 
while be applied the handkerchief to his eyes. 
That was a blissful moment, but I felt quite calm. 
1 kissed mother, raised myself out of her arms and 
stammered out: 
“ If this is a dream I wish it may last forever.” 
“Amen, my love;” Frank’s voice was close to 
my ear. “I am perfectly happy. Are you?” 
“ And I am not asleep—1 am in my right mind ? ” 
I queried. 
“1 sincerely hope so,” he replied, “for I waut 
yon to go through ft certain ceremonial, to-night, for 
which it is necessary to be in your proper senses.” 
He led me a little apart. “ My own beloved,” he 
whispered, In a yet lower tone, “did you imagine 1 I 
could let you go to that wilderness of the West, 
where I might lose you forever? My jewel —my 
one jewel —is too preciouB for that. Instead of 
taking you to Philadelphia 1 have brought you 
home. Forgive my boldness. I had the temerity 
to think you loved me, Maggie, and would forgive 
me this. If you do, if you will make me the hap¬ 
piest man in all this world, to-night, only give me 
one kiss,—the first you ever gave me, Maggie,— and 
say 1 1 forgive you; I will be yours.’ ” 
I had to say it, reader; they were waiting for me, 
and he wonldn’t let me go back to them, till I did. 
Then he kissed me twice or three times, took my 
hand, and said, “ New we will go home,” which 
we did. 
And, reader, in the parlor was spread a wedding 
supper; in the parlor rocking-chair 6at the Reverend 
Dr. Kane, the Principal of our Seminary; on the 
parlor sofa sat James Parker and a young lady, a 
particular friend of mine, from whom I had parted, 
only the day before, with a very sad heart, and who 
now rose to greet me with a loving kiss and em¬ 
brace.. All around the room, in some omnipresent 
mmuer, were Mary, Alice and Amanda. Coming 
in and out »>f the room, “on hospitable thoughts 
intent,” with the most loving, happy look on her 
face, was mother. 
In a few moments tea was ready—the table snowy 
white In an Irish linen table-spread,— hissing in the 
waters of a silver urn, and shining In mother’s beau¬ 
tiful transparent China, all three of the mentioned 
articles being heirlooms in our family, and having 
come over the sea. Meantime, 1 was out in the 
kitchen, arranging my hair by the little glass there. 
I could not change my dress; the trunk containing 
all my clothes was still at the depot. 1 must keep 
oh the gray traveling dress. 
Amanda and Alice brought a wreath of white 
artificial blossoms and skining green leaves and 
fastened it round tny braids. Mart brought out 
her prettiest collar and breastpin for me. Each of 
them gave me a kiss, and I went into the parlor. 
Frank came forward, took me by the baud, and led 
me to the sofa; my friend, Lizzie Grey, stood up 
beside me, James beside Fk.cn k; Dr. Kane rose and 
came forward, and before my heart bad ceased to 
flutter and my limbs to tremble, it was all over; 1 
was Frank’s wife; he hud kissed me once more, 
and we were sitting down to supper. 
Ah, Mrs. Parker,— 
“ Th.e best laid schemes of mice and men 
(And women, too,)

“Oh, we will live on one meal and love,” he said, 
“shall we, Maggie?”

“Well, then, you shall furnish the dinner and

MISCELLANEOUS ENIGMA, 
I Din but dream. I never knew 
What charms the sternest seasons wore; 
Was never yet the sky so blue. 
Was never earth so white before. 
Till now I never saw the glow 
Of sunset on yon hills of snow. 
And never learned the bough’s designs 
Of beauty In its leafless lines. 
Did ever such a morning break 
As that my eastern windows see ? 
Did ever such a moonlight take 
Weird photographs of shrub and tree? 
Rang ever bells so wild and fleet

Was ever yet a sound by half 
So merry ss yon ecnool-boy’s laugh ? 
O Earth! with gladness overfranght, 
No added charm thy face hath found; 
Within my heart the change is wrought, 
My footsteps make enchanted ground.

Forth to thy light and air I come.

tone,- 
Pushing away the chair which held*the tea-tray, at 
the imminent hazard of breaking its contents, he 
6 at down on the seat beside me. His face was 
flushed, and his breathing quick and hurried. 
“Maggie,” he said, “do you love me? Could 
yon wait for me for several years —perhaps three or 
four —till I could give you a home? Do you love 
me enough’for that —to wait through weary years, 
Maggie?” 
• ‘How do you know they will be weary ?” 1 rejoined, 
laughing; but I could not keep the tears from my 
eyes; “1 intend to make them pass quickly, by 
working hard and earning money. It is to lazy 
people, time drags slowly.” 
“You work,” he said, “and earn money!—a 
slender creature like you, with 6uch bits of hands! 
What a comicai idea! ” 
“Thank you sir; 1 am not going to work with 
my hands, but with my brains. 1 will earn three hun¬ 
dred and fifty a year, and board and washing.” 
“ Then you set yourself up independent of me, do 
you ? ” 
“ Yes, indeed; isn’t that salary an independency ? ” 
He gave me a queer look. 
“ Maggie, why didn’t you tell me you were going 
away ? Why were you going to slip off when I was 
down here?” 
1 had opened my lips to answer him, when Judge 
Welles entered. 
“ The train will start in three minutes,” he said. 
Frank sprang to take his tray of dishes; went 
out, and returned in half a minute. In that half 
minute 1 had thanked Judge Welles for his great 
kindness to me, ami bade him good-by. 
“I am glad Frank is going some ways with you,” 
he said. “Do you know how far ? ” 
“I believe to Philadelphia, but iDdeed, I don’t 
know,” I replied, laughing; “1 was almost asleep 
•when he told me.” 
“ I am very glad,” he repeated; and as Frank just 
then entered —“I give Miss Maggie in charge to 
you, Frank; take good care of her.” 
“Yes, sir,” with a funny expression on his face. 
“When shall I see you again, Judge?” 
“In a few days,—a week at furthest.” Turning 
to me—“I wish you all success and happiness, 
Miss Maggie.” He shook my hand, and as the 
train rushed up, accompanied us out. 
“My trunk!” I said, “I havn’t got the cheek 
for it.” 
“Ihave,” said Frank. “ Good morning, Judge,” 
and he hurried me into the ears, and the cars hur¬ 
ried off. 1 remembered afterwards, that when Frank 
placed no in a scathe proposed, to leave the window 
open, but put down the shutter, it was so hot, which 
I agreed to. Then he commenced a quiet conversa¬ 
tion, but soon broke off, and proposed that I should 
try to sleep. The seats, he said, were the easiest he 
had e ver seen. They certainly were easy; the backs 
wore high,—as high as my head as I leaned back; 
the cushions were soft and inexpressibly welcome to 
me, and I was soon asleep. Completely exhausted, 
I slept several hours. I knew we didn’t change cam 
till we arrived at. Philadelphia; felt perfectly safe in 
Frank’s care, and slept till noon. I had a dim con¬ 
sciousness, all the time, where I was, and who was 
beside me, and that 1 ought to wake up and talk to 
him, but the thought passed out of my mind even 
as it entered it, and so quietly 1 slumbered on. 
Startiug suddenly, as the cars slowly stopped, I 
was astonished to find myself alone. In alarm, I 
wondered where I was; if Frank had left me at 
Philadelphia, and I was too sleepy to know it; and 
the cars had went on and on,— where to ? Dreadful 
thought! But as I started up, in a panic, to find the 
conductor, I saw Frank making his way through 
the crowd with a steaming bowl in his band, which, 
amid the laughter of the bystanders, he conveyed 
safely to me,— oysters and crackers. 
“Eat and live,” be said; “J am going to do the 
same; ” and in the course of five minutes, he had 
been into the eating-room, devoured his dinner, and 
was at the window for my bowl, which 1 handed out 
to him. He came aboard and the train started agaiu. 
“ Where are we ? ” said I; “ are we not almost to 
Philadelphia?” 
“Not quite,” he replied; “I have discovered 
what will be a great annoyance to you; we will have 
to stop—for some reason or other—about two hours 
at a town this side of Philadelphia, it is too bad 
for you. I am sorry you will be so delayed, but I 
will try to make the. time pass pleasantly to you.” 
Which he did,— ah, so pleasantly! Shall I ever 
forget that afternoon 7 — the sunniest, the brightest 
of all my young days! Thoroughly rested, now, my 
fatigue all gone, we talked through all the afternoon, 
and heart and mind, in the Elysium of content, qui¬ 
etly weighed anchor and never thought of future 
storms. 
I did not think of it at the time, but I remembered 
afterwards that 1 did not hear a station called out 
all that afternoon. Something especially int eresting 
in what 1 was saying, or listening to, closed my ears 
each time. When we stopped, in a great bazaar- 
looking building, the two hours passed like a quar¬ 
ter of one. Frank went out and bought the last 
“Harper’s” and Atlantic Monthly, and we read and 
talked. 
At last, at last —a little while after dark —the 
cars stopped. Frank took up my satchel and said, 
“ Well-, here we are,” 
“At Philadelphia?” 1 asked, afcd iny heart snnk, 
but tee were in the rush of people going out of the 
car. and I could say no more. 1 thought: 
“O, if he could only go a little further with me, 
hut beggars always want more, and how kind he has 
been already! Shall I ever forget it ? ’’ 
We got out of the car, and as 1 stepped upon the 
platform, to my utter astonishment and some alarm, 
a woman seized me in her arms.

MY TRAVELS; 
THEIR ADVENTURES AND TERMINATION. 
BY ISABELLA BECK, 
Cortlandt street, New York city, to my utter 
astonishment, “that brother of mine” stood on 
the platform,— either in spiritual or bodily form, I 
could scarcely tell which, for I was almost asleep. 
But he offered his hand and said: 
“Maggie, good morning. Didn’t you expect to 
see me? You knew 1 was here in the city.” 
“ Yes, sir, but I didn't hardly expect to see you. 
How did you know 1 was coming?” 
“ 1 divined it by intuition; ” he said, and I actually 
was too sleepy to be astonished at anything he might 
say; I heard it all as one hears things in a dream — 
surprised at nothing. 
“ How soon do you leave the city V ” he inquired. 
“ In about twenty minutes, 1 believe the Judge 
said.” 
“Well, I must see the Judge,” he said; “I will, 
if you please, go the first stage from here with you— 
to Philadelphia, for instance.” 
“ Oh, thank you,” I exclaimed; “ I dreaded going 
alone so much! ” 
He took me into the ladies’ room, a large, gloomy 
looking apartment, took off my hat, got me a glass 
of water, and saying he would be back in a moment, 
went out. I sat down on one of the hard benches, 
put my satchel on its arm, my head on the satchel, 
and in another minute was fast asleep. I was awak¬ 
ened by Frank, coming in with a tray, bearing a dainty 
breakfast — coffee, rolls and chicken. He placed a 
chair before me, and put the tray upon it. 
“How did you conjure that up in five minutes ? ” 
I 6aid. “How kind you are!” I added, directly, 
while the tears filled my eyes. 
“Very kind! ” he said, smiling, “to feed a fam¬ 
ishing being who evidently has not tasted food for 
the last twenty-four hours.” 
“Why, ye6 I have,” said I, — “1 ate dinner yes¬ 
terday; I wasn’t hungry last night.” 
“No, I presume not; hut won’t you eat now? 
Can’t I persuade you ? I feel ravenously hungry 
myself. Shall I assist you?” 
“ Yes,” said 1; and he drew up another chair, and 
taking out a pocket-knife, he borrowed my fork 
occasionally, and we “ did eat.” instead of coffee, 
he got a tin cupful of water. Fortunately for the 
complete enjoyment of our feast, no one came into 
the room till we had quite finished. I felt greatly 
refreshed, ready to go to Hlinois, or to Europe, if 
necessary; and said so to Frank, as I lent him my 
fork to take the last mouthful of chicken.

A VEGETABLE COMPOUND 
Three of the officers of the Fourth Regiment 
saw the other day, at Fokada, an operation which 
was described by Bruce, but which has been denied 
by all subsequent travelers, and by the Abyesinians 
themselves. This was the operation of cutting a 
steak from the body of a living ox. They came up¬ 
on the natives just as they were in the act of per¬ 
forming it. The unfortunate bullock was thrown 
down, and its four legs were tied together. The 
operator then cut an incision in the skin near the 
spine, just behind the hip-joint. He blew into this 
to separate the skin from the flesh, and then cut 
two other incisions at right angles to the first, and 
then lifted a flap of skin four or five inches square. 
From this he cut out a lump of flesh, cutting with 
the kuife under the skin, so that the amount of 
flesh taken out was larger than the portion uncov¬ 
ered. The operator then filled up the hole with 
cowdung, replaced the flap of skin, plastered it up 
with mud, untied the feet of the poor animal, who 
had kept up a low moaning while the operation 
was going on, gave it a kick to make it get up, and 
the whole thing was over. I should mention that 
the operator cut two or three gashes in the neighbor¬ 
hood of the wound, apparently as a sign that the 
animal had been operated upon in that part. The 
officer observed that several cattle in the same herd 
were marked in a precisely similar manner. They 
returned in half an hour, and found the animal 
walking about and feeding quietly. I have not 
mentioned that it bled very little at the time the 
operation was being performed. 
It certainly is very singular that after so many 
years Bruce’s story, which has been always consid¬ 
ered as a traveler’s tale, should have been con¬ 
firmed. All travelers have denied it. Mr. Speedy, 
who was a year among them, tells us that he never 
saw or heard of its being done, and the Abyssin- 
ians, of whom he had inquired respecting the truth 
of Bruce’s statement, had always most indignantly 
demed it, and indeed a-sscrted that it would be en¬ 
tirely contrary to their religion, for that they strict¬ 
ly kept the Mosaic law, to eat no meat unless the 
throat of the animal had been cut and the blood 
allowed to escape. Anatomists have denied the 
possibility of an animal, when such an operation

could get nothing to do, 1 have felt, sometimes, like 
one Imprisoned.” 
“And now you are free?” he said, with an odd 
6 mile. “Judge Welles is your deliverer. 1 sup>- 
pose you will owe him eternal gratitude.” 
“I shall be very grateful to him, indeed,” I re¬ 
plied. “ Would not you be ? Only think how kind 
he has been to me.” 
“Oh, yes, it’s all right; only it makes one half 
jealous of the old fellow." 
“Jealous of gratitude?” 1 rejoined. “Why, you 
needn’t be: I am grateful to you for my breakfast.” 
“Gratitude? —no, 1 am not jealous of gratitude; 
there is no other feeling, then, mingled with the 
gratitude > ” 
“No, you ridiculous fellow, What other feeling 
could there be? I have great respect for the Judge, 
to he sure; I always had—haven’t you ? ” 
“Yes, oh yes; 1 respect him most highly. If 1 
should say 1 loved him, would you say so too ? ” 
“Not unless I did love him.” 
If Frank is trying to sound me, 1 thought, he 
shall not succeed. 
“O, well,” he said, “then you don’t love every¬ 
thing that I do ? ” 
“I don’t know. 1 love chicken and fresh rolls, 
don’t yon?”
