Abont the year 1858 thero ap peared in the musical eircles of the West a song which lor twelve yearf had a ran rarely attained by pop ular melodies. The music bad a peculiar charm, the words were singularly touching, and their length, extending to eight long years, suggested to the reader a story back of them. In fact, the extreme pathos of the word con tributed as much, perhaps, as the music to give the composition its wonderful success. It was sung everywhere, in parlors, in coneerta, on the street, and in tha camps ot tho contending armies. Iu the Northern army it was immensely popular, and found its way south through Louisvill and Cincinnati, and during the rebellion it was the only piece sung in Southern homes, and, excepting martial airs, about the only one sung in the Confeder ate camp. Erery where was "Lore na.': A steamer on the Ohio was named Lorena, engines on Western roads, were named Lorena, and a person now sometimes meets in society young ladies named Lorena, called that by mothers twenty years ago. Tht the song had a story nearly everyone familiar with it supposed, and supposed correctly, and it may not be uninteresting at th:s late day to give admirers of the famous melody the facts in the love aflair. The author of the words wa Rev. II. D. L. Webster, llo stud ied in the Columbus Academical and Colleeiate Institute, and was editor of tue college paper.

Webster was writing song music, and was troubled to find appropri ate words. Rev. Mr. Webster told him that he would write a song, and in two days he produced it, en titled ' Bertha," a mere fancy name. When tli6 composer came 1 to. set it to music he wanted a name of three syllables, accented on the 6econd, and the author then made up the name of ''Lorena." The young lady's name was not Lorena, however, nor Bertha, but Ella. Jt is said that she lost her vivacity and sunny, witchii.g ways after they parted, and never regain ed them, and that she is now a sad, sickly woman, past the prime of life. When last heard from, how ever, several months ago, sh was traveling in Europe. Her proud and haughty sister has long since passed over tho river, where "'tis heart to heart, instead ot dollar to drllar." Her brother-in-law died only a few weeks ago.

The New York Sun says : The fruit of folly is seen in the pension burdens inflicted upon the contitry by the Arrears act. Commissioner Dudley announces that 28.740 names were aadea to tue pension list during the past fiscal year sixteen years alter the end of the var for which they are pensioned. For tho coming year he asks au ap propriation ot $100,000,000, with which to pay annual accrued pen sighs ; ana, oesiaes tins, ne a&Ks a defitfucy appropriation of $20,000,- 000 tor this year. A current annual - appropriation of one hundred millions for the item of pensions, in the year 1882, for a war ended in 1865, is start ling. There was never half that amount a dozen years ago, when a vastly greaier number of persons entitled to a pension were living. As had happened in the universal experience ot nations, our pension list was steakily decreasing a few years ago, and the appropriations sufficient to .satisfy it had gone down to twenty nine millions. A scheme ot villiany was sprung upon This popular Journal is a rare combination of literature, art and fashion its stories, poems, aud essays are by tne best writer of Europe and Amer ica; its engravings possess tue highest ;artistic ex cellence; ana m au matters pertaining to fashion it is aniversally acknowledged to be tue leading authority in the land.

Their loving did not, how ever, "prosper well."' for tho fami ly were proud and aristocratic, and "had higher notions of the girl's future than to sanction her mar riage with a poor preacher." As she was dependent upon them for a home, she was forced to vield to their counsel Mr- Webster says he now thinks it wise counsel and they were obliged to give each oth er up. it was, however, the strong will and the proud spirit of the Bis ter, more than he opposition of the brother-in-law, that separated them, or rather kept Lorena from him. Lorena seems to have been passive, indecisive in character, an J submis sive in the hands of her stroug-will- ed sister. Mr. Webster saw her for tha last time at her heme, learned of the sister's unconquerable opposition heard his fate, and took a quiet but painful farewell, very litf le being said. That night she wrote him a last letter, iu which she used the words, so well remembeied by those familiar with the song: "if we try we may forget.

W. JAOTJCS A '., A writer in a recent number of the Atlantic MontTdy predicts that by the end of the twentieth century the En glish language will be spoken fr eight hundred million people, occu pying, besides England proper and its contiguous dependencies, India, South Africa, Australia, North Amer ica, islands in every sea? and naval stations on eveiy cape. Bv that time it is thought, so large a Drousrtion of tne business or the world will be done by maaters of the countries named that, as a mere matter of social and commercial convenience, the whole world will devote, itself to learning English. Trie languages spoken by other civilized races, according to this anticipation, will siuk to the character of local dialects, which will gradually lose their distinctive differ ences and finally disappear altogeth er. Many barbarous races also would be drawn into the prevailing curreut, so that as is now the case all over Europe then all over the globe tho Englishman will be address ed in his own speech. Leaving out of view the comparatively simple un infected character of English words and the direct constructions of its syntax, which greatly facilitate the acquisition of the English language b3' foreigner?, it is enough to "show what advantages tending to this end English speaking people already pos sess over others in having already engrossed the most fertile unoccu pied or weak quarters ot the world, aud left to the French, Germans and others only those lands least desira ble for colonization. To enumerate England's possessions would be a te dious undertaking, scattered as they are at points of advantage throughout the world. It is enough to say that in Asia she controls aa area of 1, 640,000 square miles, with a popu lation of about 230,000,000 souls ; iu Africa 250,000 square miles, popula tion 1,700,000; in America 3,700,000 square miles, population 6.000 000 ; in Europe 121,000 square miles, pop ulation 36,000,000 a total area or 8,711,000 square miles, with a popu lation of about 230,000,000. English eommerco, ideas, books aud tongue profit by this breadth of empire. Our appreciation of the future of the Anglo-Saxon race and English tongue is heightened, however, when we add to the English-speaking area the 3,- 024,494 square miles of the United States, with their populatiou of 50,- lo2,S66 souls. No doubt the period is ct very remote, aand may never be reached, when English will become the uuiversal language of. mankind The probability is that many isolated races will never be converted to its use. But when an aggressive, ener gene, commercial people, possessing so vast an area into which to develop, is a the same time the wealthiest on tho globe and the most enterprising and practical, it is difficult to set lim its to future. The Romans were able to impress their faws and language upon the whole of Europe, and the Anglo-Saxon ia the Roman of the modem world. In competion with the races of the continent the English and Americans possess the advantage of beginning with 11,835,494 square miles of the earth's surface and the qualities which first gave them this wide domain. Forest and Stream. , Hunting for game was first prac ticed with bow aud arrow only, until in tbo sixteenth century ttie Span iards contrived the arquebus or match-lock. Here the match was fitted to a "serpentin" or cock hung upon a pivot, and brought into con tact with the priming by a working substantially the same as that ot the modern hammer aud trigger. This was further improved by the Ger man invention of a steel wheel with serrated edge, fitted to a spring and made to reyolve rapidly, the edge coming iu contact with a piece of pyrites, and by this friction, produc ing tue spams o ig'iite tlia priming.
