A wealthy widower® with two plain 1 - daiighfra. he had married Id a moment of ' 1 wrakqeea. tbe widow of an aeqoalntance. ; who bap died deeply in debt. Hia wife ' . had retained* ber beauty, aod wna, after ■ ! faahlnn. deardo him. • But Edith, with the face of ber dead ' , father, who bad been bis rirsl at achiol ■ and buaiotas alike — Edith had been ob- 1 i nnxioos tn him from the Brat ; and now 1 ' that the daily and nightly attracted the ' 1 | attention In sod el y which he fell Ihtt hit f1 . own daughters ought rightly to recelre, his mind was made up to be rid of her at ' , the earliest poaaible tfkte. Edith Yere ^ was proud a. well a* beautiful. She tried l to hide from his notice tbe wouod that bis , ' ■ words had inflicted. But ber lips trem- 1 | bled, ber eyes moiateDed, sod it was home c I momenta before she could say.—

"I thanked Mr. Willis for the honor he j had don? me, but I told him of mjren. ' gagement "to Fred Hart.

You will aay so youraelf tenyeara broce if you lake my adyicc; but if you i persist Id refusing him because you were engaged to that unfortunate young aailor, who went down with his ship, as I eup"Sayno mire:" exclaimed Edith, in a broken rotce. "1 do refuse. I must reonly let me stay here till my mother returns from Florida, and then I will find "Your mother Is quite too ill to be dit- ; turbed by this noosease, Edith. Y wrote her last week; there is her answer. I ou must decide (his rery day. and tbe will j not be bare for three weeks." With ber mother's letter in her hand. Edith hurried to her own room. Hot. blinding tears fell orcr tbe words which the weak aod delicate wife bad wrtTOn by • "Slnoe poor Fred is lost to you forever I in this life, do my dear girl be guided by Mr. Curlia" The liaaa ran. "Marry Mr. : and in the boote of- wealth which : be will give, you and I may yet tee many happy dayt." "A home of wealth, and that man its Fred!" moaned the poor girl In ber despair. "Oh, Fred, my dearest ! How lightly they til speak and thiak and write of your lorn, when It bat wrapped the

wlede earth in mourning for me." She rote and began to make preparations , for her departure. She. knew that her [ mtaher had no power to protect ber In a ! strife between Mr. Curtis and herself, and I alio would not subject her to the pain | of witnessing the misery which she could I not lighten or evert. \ Within an hour her trunk was packed 1 ready for removal In a small hand va- ; lice the placed such articles as the would , aoooest require. She wore her plainest street i drum and s thick roll. Coaming I . tbe oontruts of ber purse she found that she bad but fifteen dollars. - - "But I have ray watch aod chain aod a 1 • handsome wardrobe." she -mentally poo- 1 dered, reviewing the situation. "I will [ go at oooe to New York, and I can find 1 mme kind of work, no doubt. In a few i . daya Anything will be better than aak ^ Mr. Cnrtia for money. .If I should really i need any. I can write to mamma " i Without bidding farewell to a peraoo I , under that hostile roof.

Mr. Curlis as tbe man himself, fend hho liberally, mads brief explanation, and sent him away without Che baggage. "That will bring my lady back to ask my pardon, undoubtedly," be chuckled, returning to tbe pi meal of bit paper. But the hours went on until twilight deepened htonlgotfal land no Edith came, i alooe and well nigh penniless, she hsd mad* her desperate plunge in:o the great world. It was Dearly dusk when Edith reached York. Tbe lamps glimmered in long. Unending I toes along the streets when she timidly entered a hotel and inquired for a room. Toting, lovely, unprotected, on foot and with no luggage, it was little woodcr that the gentlemanly clerk found that the bouse was full, bul bis wcedering stare and the audibla camsent tbe hot blood surging to Edith's cheeks, and harried ber away from the place at s spead which eooc outstripped several, tdtr.-s on the pavement who were "What am I to do? Where as I logo!" thought tbe poor girl, when she had reached a poorer and safer part of the City, where she could past unmolestrd among the CTOWOS whe were too' much ataorderi in tteir own trouble* to have to think of bar. What a waste, ' what a diauit of houses the city seemed to whe there could caairn no borne! - , 1: was the hour of reunion a»«g the i daaao. wbo depend upon the : day's earning for their daily bread.

"And yet if my darling's j I life bad been spared, how happy I oould 1 ! bare been even in the humblest of three ' r ; hiuncs with him." [ ] One by one the cheery welcomes died 1 1 I sway, and tbe door* and windows were ; < ; dosed on tbe fireside groups within. ; < I "Perhaps some of these people ^wodd j 1 j be willing to shelter me till morning." j t ' thought Edith, who was growing lirkdsnd j ' faint- from inanition, for she bad eaten j .-nothing all day, " 1 She searched Pit her puree, intending to ! r • aak tjie quSioo nf a meek-faoed woman! t In mourning who had Just passed - ber. j ' The purse was geoe! . Throwing open ber 1 I cli alt in agony of horror to search hairier t j pocket, she found that her watch and 1 dials had been 4a ten too! Where or when » she had been robbed abe knew not. It was i

e useless to waste time over that question, ghe had only to face the terrible fact that she was entirely without resources in a ,1 strange dty, and to decide upon the course she war to pursue. •• ; "Hunger aod fatigue were alike forgot. .. ten in the overwhelming shack of this .. discovery.

By this narrow afreet was a busy scene, a ' At nightfall, being lined with warehouses . and leading to the pier.it waa deserted and t : quiet.

In a for- " cign land, as in ber own, she is happy as d a loving heart tnur. be that is true through Wsuld that thus safely and aweclly j might dose the story of every ted end . lonely wanderer upon the city streets. 1 The Battle of London Bridge. Under the cliffs of Kinlimma, is Frire- . land, hasty word came to the Boy Viking j that the English king, Etbelred "The , Unready," was calling for help to win e back his heritage and crown from young 'King Cnut, or Canute tbe Dace. Instantly, i Olaf. the ever ready, hoisted bis bine and r crimson sails and steered his war-ships . over sea. Up the Thames end straight for London town he rowed. "Upen the bridge betwixt tbe castle and j Southwark," said King Etbelred, "hare j the ravaging Danes raited towers end ravaging raised towers .

pert pets, aod blocked tbe fire river-way ( to my cattle. And new. Sea King, what . impetuous as ever, and impatient of | obstacles, the youag viking said, "How! , why, poll thou down this bridge." "Break down great London Bridge, here!" cried tbe amazed king. "How may that lx? Have we a Duke , amsng us to do to great a feat!" , "La; me thy ships alongside mine." . said the valorous boy, "sod 1 will vow to , break It down." , "Be it so," said Ethelred. ( Old London Bridga was not what vr , should now call an imposing structure, our ancestors of eight refaturiea back . esteemed it quite abridge. Tbe chronicler , that it wss "tobroad that two wagons , emld past each other upon it." and , "under the bridge were piles driven into , the bottom of Ihe .river." • | So Olaf decided to wreck tbe bridge by ( b"Id vikiog stroke. And first be hsd ( erected over each ship a stout, overhang. , ing roof of wood. "Now. out oars and poll for the bridge," | Olsf commanded; and the roofed - , roofed-

war-ship* were rowed elite op to Bridge. And aa tbey came near the bridge, the enranide says, "there were cast upon litem, by tbe Done* upon tbe bridge, many stones and missile weapons." But Olaf and his Norsemen were not to be thus driven back. Straight ahead tbey rowed, "quite up under the bridge." "Oat cable*, all, and lay tbem around -the piles," tbe young are -king shouted; sod tbe Strang, brave rowers, unshipping car*, reached out under the roofs and passed the stout cables twice sroond wooden supports of tbe bridge, sod madu then fast to cleats in the stern of each vessel. "Out oars!" then cried Olaf; "pall, warPoll all, aa if ye were for Norway!" Fsrwardaod tockwardawsyed thestout rowers; tighter and tighter pulled the cables; fast down upon the straining -ships rained the Danish spears and atones; but the waodau pile* under the great bridge srare loosened by the steady of tbe cablet,' and soon with a sudden spurt the None warships darted dawn the river, while the slackened cable* lowed astern the captured pile* of London A goat about west np from the "now," says the chronicle, tbe sAxsed troops stood thick a pea the and there were likewise many of atones and ether weapons opoo it, lb* bridge gave way; and a great part of tbe men upon ll fall into the river, end the others fled— some iota tbe castle, Into Booth work."

He bid e earned, in so unexampled degree, the c hatred ef Ihe South, and this fact bad 'p increased tbe zeal for bim among amislarcry men throughout tbe North. The "* aarault made upoo him by Freston F. :e Brooks, a South Carolina Representative, : of hit famous tpeerb on Kansas, hsd : 0 ' strengthened his hold upon bis constitu. 1 ' eocy. which wis not merely the State of ,l j Massachusetts, bill tbe radical and progress i aive Republican* ol tbe entire country. ° j Mr. Sumner was studious, learned zed | ambitious. He prepared his 'discussions V Pablic questions with care, bat was not 1 '■ ready as a debater. He presented his 1 '■ arguments with power, but tbey were ! n laborious essays. He hsd no faeultv for I

0 extempore speech. Like Addison, be y could drew his draft for a thousand 1 pouDds, bat might not have a shilling of * change. This did not hinder his program or lessen ht**l5»estlge in the Senate. Hn '■ written arguments were tbe anti-slavery I- classics of the dsy, and they were read - more eagerly than speeches which pro6 duced greater effect on the hearer. a Colonel Benton said that Ihe eminent h William Pinckney, of Maryland, was T always thinking of thc.few' hnndrcd who '• cams to bear him in tbo Senile Chamber, c spparently forgetting the mlliion wlio j might read him outside- Mr. Sumner never made tjiat mistake. His arguments went to the million. They produced a 11 widespread and prodigious effect on public u opinion, and left an indelible impression " on the history of the countiy. The I louse was filled with shlc men, many of whom had parliamentary eipen- * snce. The natural leader, who assumed. h his place by common consent, was Ttaaddens Stevens, a man of strong peculiarities y of character, able, trained and fearlesa. * Born in Vermont; and educated at Dartmouth, be bad passed all bis adult years in Pennsylvania, and was thoroughly identified with tbe Stale which be bad " served with distinction both ic her own ' Legislature and in Congress. He had the reputation of being somewhat unscrnpu0 Ions as to political methods, somewhat 8 careless in personal conduct, somewhat ^ lax in personal morals; but to the one great object of his life, tbe destruction c 1 ' * slavery end the elevation of the glare, he was supremely devoted. From the pursuit ol that object nothing could deflect him. Upon no phase of It would he listen to J compromise. Any man who was truly anti-slavery was his friend. Whoever i

' espoused the cause and proved faithless in ' 1 Dever so^mall a degree, became his enemy, ' inevitably and irreconcilably.
