Ah! if my husbaud was but like vonrs, Janet." "lie is like mine in many of his ways, said Janet, with a smile, "and if you will allow me to speak plainly, he would be still more like him if you took more pains to make him comfortable." "What do voa mean?" cried Madge: "our house is a.s clean as your'sjT mend my hus band's clothes, and cook his dinner as care fully as any woman in the parish, and yet he never stays at home of an evening, while you sit heie by your cheerful fire after night as happy as can be." "As happy as can be on earth" said her friend gravely; "yes, and shall I tell you the secret of it, Madge?-' "I wish you would," said Madge, with a 1 Ir.i. . i i: t airvu ,iMii ii, ii is in i&t."i v iu nv c u j. m-r . dressing for to-night!" "No one until you came," said Madge, half laughing. ; ; . ' "I f Nonsense; you didn't dress for meln cried John. -4 "You won't believe it, perhaps, but I did. I have been talking with Mrs. Mat son this evening, and she has given me some very good advice. So now, John, what would you like for your supper?" John, who was wont to steal to, the shelf at night and content himself with anything he could find, thought Madge's offer too I excellent to be reluseu, and very soon a large bowl of chocolate was steaming on the table. Ihen his wile sat down, lor a wonder, by his side and talked a little, and listened, and looked pleased, when at last, as if he could not help it, he said, "Dear old Madge!" That was enough; her elbow somehow found its way then to the. arm of his great chair, and she sat quietly looking at the fire. After awhile John spoke again: "Madge, (Tear, do you remember the old days when we used to sit side by side in yonr mother's kitchen?" "Yes." "I was a younger man then, Madge, and, as they told me, handsome; now I am grow- ou you "I incline to that opinion," he answered; "and I am sure I have found out the. true reason. The climate of Greece is no long er what it was two thousand years ago. That is my discovery," he added, almost triumphantly; "and if I can prove the as sertion, am I not entitled to seme philos ophical honors ?" . I ventured to ask for the reasons of this belief. "Ah !" he said, laughing; "that is my secret. But, believe me, I am well fortifi ed with arguments. I have my classics at my fingers'-ends, and I have waded through an enormous quantity of learned literature." I asked the kin whether he devoted his liesure hours entirely to this branch of study.

At an early hour on Friday the troop left town for, the residence of Mr. Robert Campbell, ten miles from Fayetteville on tho old Raleigh road, where the General passed the night previous. Soon after breakfast the vast crowds of people began to, assemble in the streets, all eager with expectation, and all anxious to see the face of one V ho was there so much beloved, whose memory still holds a place in the hearts of all true Americans. The sounds of drum and fife were heard, and soon the three foot companies took up their lino of march for the river. .The streets,, were muddy, muddier, muddiest. There wore few crossings in those days, and the v were not much used by the crowd, so eager were'the people to "push along, keep mo ving." The writer remembers losing one shoe in crossing from Smith's corner (Cuke Davy's) to the Shackelford comer. After crossing, however, he was persuaded to go back and regain the lost shoe. The side-walks leading from the mark et to"Campbelltan were now crowded with people. The rain fell in torrents. Um brellas were used and umbrellas were not used. No one regarded the weather. Old white folks and young white folks, old darkies and young darkies, in one promis cuous mass, all, all press on, "Jfor heed the storm that howls along the sky." Suffice it to say, the newspaper re ports of the time represent it as a success. Saturday was a beautiiul day.

He was wet through when he at length crossed the threshold; he was, as he gruffly muttered,-"used ! to that;" but ne was not used! to the tone and look with which his wife drew near to welcome him, nor toJnd warm clothes by a crackling fire, and slippers on the hearth; nor to hear no reproach for late, hours, and neglect, and dirty foot-marks as he sat in his arm-chair. Some change had come to Madge, he was very sure. She wore a dress he had bought her years ago, with a neat linen collar round the neck, and had a cap, trimmed with white ribbons, on her head. "You're smart, Madge,"Jie exclaimed at last, when he had stared at her for some time in silence. "Who haM been here worth he added, showing me a pile of manuscript; "I am writing." , "Writing!"

I did so, while he looked at me expect antly. "Is it good?" he asked. "Not very," I said. "Not near so good as Danish honey. "That is just" what I am going to prove in my book." He asked me to accompany him to his cabinet. It was a small room full of chem: ical crucibles, and glasses covered with waxed paper.

During" the closing year ot his last l'rest dental term, General Jackson had occasion al and violent attacks of hemorrhage of the lungs, and Dr. Lewis Field Liim, of Mis souri, the colleague of Colonel Benton in the Senate, was his physician. The bitter feud having long before been settled, Col onel Benton was a frequent visitor at the White House, 'and was specially attentive during the illness of his former foe. Dr. Linn, feeling himself justified by his intim acy with the parties, ventured to ask their i version of the Nashville encounter. "Ben ton, you tell it," was the reponse of Old Hickory. "No, Jackson, I'll leave it to you, for your account will be correct," and, pending the discussion, the two ancient foe men were crying like children. Imitate" Him, -Boys.

Ihis was a sore disappointment. John Maffitt (since Capt. Maflitt of the Navy,) was Captain of thia company; James MacRao (now Dr. McR. ol I ayetteville,) was L.nsign; Charles Mc Millan was a Sergeant, and their humble chronicler was a private. He, however, was ranked as a good soldier, for, under, the tutelage of Colonel (afterwards Gener alj) Ayer, he soon became tolerably profi cient in the facings, -wheelings, &c. as well as the manual of arms. The knowl edge thus gained was afterwards of ser vice, for when, at the ago of 17, he j first took his place in the ranks of the Inde pendent Company, he found that he had not forgotten the school of tho soldier.
