* No, Margery ; I do not care about any,** I young lady soid, lisilessiy.
* But I maoe thai cocoa-nut pudding myself I purpose 10 tempt you,'' gaid the diecomforied |oaekeeper; " knowing how fond younaid lo

•Heryoung mistress turned from the firo impa- liptly. Her hair was half unbraided, as if she 1 commenced her afiernoon toilet, and hung kavily around her face and throat, giring her nusually large eyes a wild, troubled expression.
* I'm quite well, perfectly well. Margery ; jnly I do not choose any luncheon.."
'Thai's more like maater than her blesaed
ftolher,'' grumbled  the old family servant.—

So Mrs. I\largcry began to pick her way down

hood as when she firM took charge of Mr. Cal-
werrs  household; and   in  her own  room   the
[only child oi ihe nnnsion—Hope she was called
—began to ;iaco ihe floor as  one whose  mind
Bwaa full ol some great unreal.   She had   been
Ifliiiing, all the short autumn afternoon, '* glow-
iering," as her old nurse said, over the wood fire
¦ of her own room.   It was tastefully  furnished,

folio of prims and drawings, but no pictures on
the wall save ono, towards which  the young
girl did not even glance.   It seemed almost as
if she Btudioudiy avoided it; but, as she paced
to and fro, the krge  thoughtful eyes, like her
own, but with a more peaceful expression, fol-
fowed   her evL'rywhere.   The  face   was  very
lovely, but delicuie, too much eo for health, and
the  lady  could scarcely  have been older than
Hope herself; hut  she had  known   a different
inner life, which had fixed the signet of gentle
dignity and peace upon the low white forehead
and crimson lips,
Tne shadowd gathered deeper in ihe roomi and in the y^iuug gin'^ heart, as she came back to her low Beat Dt fore thu fire, and Eiirred the dying embers to a quick red olnze.
" Oh, I caiiiiut!" ghc said, aloud, ai if bat- tling wiiu kunic htill-tjrined resolution ; and then attain, "Imuail" broke tor to aa impul¬ sively.
Tue room was eiient Rgaia; }ou could bear tho amuli GouBVd watch ticii trum its stand on the dreo&uig-Latjle, aa ihti struggle went on in her heart woetner bhe should Icare this bome of wsalih and iaduljfence, I'uisakiag her father iuhis ioneline&B,or, by renouncing ibat night'i engeeemeut, plucu a barrier between biiraelf and ouo who bad catled out all ihe romance and pkosioQ ol ber Uie.
The loud poai ofthe second dressing.bell rang in the hull beluw ; for, in Mr. Calvert's manaion, lho old-ldehioned cuuncaiea o: the huusebuld were paid hod exacied as rigoroubly, ibuugh tbe tattler aud daugnter were alune, as whtn jeata beioje the great drawing-room had been filled uigtitiy wiih gueats. Many year& had gune by since then* Hope had ied a moat secluded llie for lhe heireas ul great wealth and an old name. Sho cuuld scarcely remember the oovera remuvcd from iba luri.iture aud pictures except lur ihe aunuaihou^duhuid cleaning, and all she knew uf ibc lite ul society and the world waa lhe uccasioual riait to a gay relative, which made tbe old house seem  doubly gloomy by
COnlTBM.
She never had dared to aak her lover, who had become to her unpractised judgment the embodiment of all manly grace and elegance, to enter the houac They had met firat at her cousin's bridal fefciivnica, and since then when¬ ever it waa pusiiible, until the tacit understand¬ ing had ended m aioien appointmenie, and at lasi in the ball reluctant consent to a private marriage, wrung from her when the agony of a sudden acparmion was forced upon her. She did not Btup to think ihcn that ibe honor ofa eoldier wUb comproraised by such a propoeiiion, even though bia despair, when summoned to a distant pan, mieht havo prompted it, or of the selfiahness it involved towards her father as weil aa hersell, reared aa she had been in luxury, and EO unfit lur thc hardahips ot a froniier lile. But ahe loved hmi madly, and separation would be & living death, the thought; su the promieo was given.
It may be thai the gay officer did not count on a long trial ol her faith, and reasoned that, when the lather found tbc sudden bereavemem insupportable, he would recall them both to the ease and plenty bia furmno would command.— Young and wholly inexperienced, Hope ihoughi of none of these things in her mental combat, only that uhe must decide from between the two.
Her lather's manner towards her had always been constrained, ahe thought it cold ai times, but that waa when she hud been listening to the impassioned words ot her lover, and recalled them all with thrilling pulse aa she sat in ihe libraryj where her f^iher leaned for hours over fail favon.c ireaiiBes on the vexed economy Or nations, or wrote rapidly wiihout looking up while his daughter's unbroaen reveries satiefied him that ehe was contented in the quiet ihat ho loved.
" He does not care about me ; all would go on jusl the same it I was noi here. Margery j^ more eeseutial to bim,'' she said bitterly to her¬ sell, as ehe made her hurried preparations in the gloom of iwiiigbi. Sno would not ring lor can¬ dles, but groped impatiently in her drawers for what ehe needed, wound her long hair into a graceful knot, withuut so much as a glance at 'ho mirror.
Sho met her father in the same mood, her heart steeled againat him, and more than ever oonfiimcd in ihe rath promise shs had made, Mr* CalT«ri waa alrsady ia tbs diniDg-room,
tbtnoiuliurfBt sjitfuuiuia sbsbesHf m«
cept her own, for it waa under Mrs- M«rgery>s immediate superintendance, and now vviih the ruddy light of fire and chandeliei sireiming upon the snowy linen and glistening silver of lhe ta¬ ble, it bad a comfortable and iha-oughly home¬ like air.
Hope noticed it, coming from her own dark room. The light made her shade her eyes for a moment, and, as she did lo, Mr. Calvert came forward and looked carnpstly into her face.— Consciousof all that wad in her heart, Hope's forehead fiushed crim^in at that searching look ; but her father had aot even guessed her secret, much less fathomed it, for his manner towards her was more than usually thoughtful, almost affactionate. Tho daughter's henrt smote her with a sen^e of ingratitude towarda him. asj she looked intu his careworn tace, old even for his years, aod remembered, what Margery had often told her, that his hnir had grown gray in tho short inierva! between her mother's death and funeral.
But she was not prepared for the abrupinces with which he aet down his uniaated wine and came to her side, after the servanta had left ihe room, bending her head back to hie breaei as ahe aat, and looking down into faer eyee wiih almost a mother's icnderness as ho pushed ihe'hnfr from her forehead. Her lonely girlhood hud never kr.own such a caress before, and ehe seem¬ ed to ft-el, yearning as she did for love, ihui ihete wus an allection far deeper and stronger than the wild fervor ofa lover's paasioiiste lotid- neca. Hei eyes closed and filled with iear.H, ae bur bead lay Ihere paa»iVely lur a moment, and 'hen .Mr. Culvert ki^aed her lips, trembling with the new feeling he had c.-illed up. An mutant lunger, and she would have told hint all ; but he muved away again towards the firo, and, leanine his -irm upan the mantle, called her lo him
" Su ihiti i«? ydur eeventeenlh birihday, my daughter."
Hope Murted from his side. Her mind had been so fullof other thuughls thai ahe had for¬ gotten it lill now.
" Seventeen years," Mr. Calveri aaid, alowly ; " yet I can remember every stroke ofthe clock thai long, miserable night. I walked th)0 roum listening and praying, and dreaming of future happiness, until they called me to her dcaih- bed. Oh, my daughter !" And the siern, re¬ served man groaned with the remembered an¬ guish.
Hope could not have spoken then ; the thick beating of her heart seemed choking her.
" I am afraid I bave been U'ljuai to you, my poor motherless child. I had forgotten you were growing lo he a woman in the shadow of this old ailent home and my gray head. She named you Hope to comfort me ; bul I could find neither hope nor comfort when she was gone. You are so like her to-night—so like her! God, forgive me I"
And the daughter whose life had cost so much and who had so nearly forsaken him, could only press her lips to his hand, not daring to look up into Ihat troubled face.
" When you were a little child, Hope, you came to me one day, and begged to look into the liule drawer of the cabinet. I sent you away then; but this is what it held in trust for you. You will wear the jewels when the time shall come; I can beor to see them now. Bul read the leiter to-night before you come to me in the library.''
Still, witnimt apeaking, Hope held out her hand for thc packet, and went to the solitude of her own room to read a dying mother's message So strange it sflemed, the n:olher she had nevey known, who had died in giving her birth, yet speaking through the lapse of years and the ailence of the tomb.
•'My child—my daughter; for I feel that a daughter will be given to rae—I am writing, it mny be. all you will ever know of a mother's counsel. There is a shadow hanging over me, a misi, for it is not as heavy as a cloud upon my spirits, but rather like the golden mist ihrough which we see the sunshine still. Sometimes, as I sit here and dream of your sweet baby face and clasping hands, and fancy I can press your velvet cheek to mine, and I ihink of all you might be to me, the friand and companion, as you grow up to womanhood, pure and good, then
I long 10 live and watch over you, and Anoio you, my darling. Bui I know ihie cannot be; nnd there is a keener agony comes with tho thought, the blind fondness of my husband, your father, my child, that refuses lo think ofsuch a future.
II will be a terrible blow, and I know how ho will shut his heart againql all comforting, unlesa il is youra, my precious Hope! They must call you Hope, for his sake, and you will twine your soft arms around his neck and nestle in his bosom, an unconscious, blessed babe. I shall sep you both, and love you doubly for your ministry to him.
'* He has been so cold and ao reserved towarda all but me, BO diatrusiful of every other love, ihai I know this wili be so. Even ifhe should aeem so to you, do not doubi him, do not love htm less. Ifyou knew the story of his eorly manhood, and could feel as I do what he will suffer now, yuu couid not blame him ifhe should turn fiom you at firet,a8 constantly reminding him of his loss. Forgive him, dear child, for this loving iijusiice ; win him lo you and back to tte worlduiid itssocial characters. Youwih be a woman when you read this, and perhsps will have loved ; then you can pardon him, and the eympatby wiil draw you closer.
" Yuu bave a perilous way before you, bles¬ aed one, a motherless f;irl, without ibo guidance or sympathy which oi.ly a mother can give.— Did I not trust my God and his many, many promises,! should pray to take you wiih me.— But Ho can teach, and lead you lar better than I could do, and preserve you through dangers ihai I do not even dread for you. I commend you to Him, and to the lonely heart I leave behind. Where human love will noi suffice, Hia care be ever over you. But, oh, ray daughter, as you value a dying mother's blesaing, be true to the trust that I leave wiih it—your father and bio happineas. You will siand to him in my sie.id, and he will love you and cherish you ifyou never deceive him. He has been wronged and betrayed, but ho never must suffer through my child. He may shut up his heart from you, but love him and trust him siill; give him your confidence, It will win hia, and, when you come fully to know each other, he wili be no longer alone.
" Never leave him No one would be worthy your love who could tempt you to forsake bis old age, knowing the story ofhis bereavement; his home and heart will be large enough for all you can bring to it. You cannoi understand the passionate yearning ofa mother's heart towards |he child she has never seen; but by it, and by the anguish which wrings it when I look for. ward to yielding you up in the first blissful mo¬ ment of possession, listen to what I have asked ot you!
" My precious, precious child ! my treasure ! my HopeL God bless yuu and keep you, and unite ua all where there shall be no more pain nor parting 1*'
So it waa that thc dying mother's faith saved her child in the hour of temptation.
Tho costlyjewels, her birthright, sparkled in their caaes unheeded, while the young girl lay upon the carpet, her face buried from the light, moaning. "Oh, mother! mother!'' tears of shame, and penitence, and yearning love rolling down hor p#le, convulsed features. Above her the sweet eyes ofthe picture looked down as if in piiy and forgiveness, and from Ae fioor be¬ neath sounded the muffled, heavy tread of one who still kept the yearly vigil of bereavement. It caught her ear at last, dull as it was with mental anguish, and, witbout a pauso or thought, she flew down the long stairs to the room where a life had been given for hers, and wound her arms wiih a strange love-and confidence around the stern, lonelyman. The father and daughter wept with each other for ihe first time since the wdil of a feeble babo sounded through the sobs of his first widowed anguish.
Look out for a regular "philamhropiet." If he don't swindle your confidence, drain your pockets, cut up somo ehine with your female friends, or lug oft" your hat, good name and um brella, then think yourself a lucky fellow. Pro¬ fessional philanthropy and "chequered" conduct go together as naturally as heavy heads and foolish consciences the morning after a late champagne supper, with iis four-horse wrinkles.  ••»-

The landlord and his Guests-
About sixty years ago, two Knglishmen one day arrived at Andernach. They went to an ob¬ scure inn kept by a man named Du Long They desired to have his beat apartment, spent a great deal of money, relished the produce of his wretched kitchen, and thought hiti adulterated wine perfectly genuine. From day to day Du Long supposed they would continue tbeir jour¬ ney, and proceed to the capital; for, that they had come merely to see Andernach, was an idea too absurd to enter anybody's head.
But, so far from continuing their journey, and proceeding to the capital, they did not even in¬ spect what was worth seeing at Andernach ; for except going out now and then to aboot^nipes, they kepi close at homo, eating, drinking, and doing nothing.
'"They may bo apiea," thought the busi, "or runawaya. or fimls. No matier, what is ihat to me?    They pay honestly.''
When he waH ail ting in an evening over a pint with his neighbor and reiaiion, the grocer, they used to rack their braina about the mysterious gtiesis.
"They are spies,'' snid thu grocer; 'oneof thi'm squints wiib his lefc eye."
•'A man may squint without being-it spy." rejuinud the bust; "I should take them for run- »ways, for they read all the newspapers, fur the pake of the acivertiaemenia.''
His kinsmar then assured him that all Eng- liBiimen bpini at least a iwellih-part. of ihcir tivas in reading newspapers. The conclusion tf) which they gtnernll} camo wa.", that aa ibe gaid furi^i^ncra were appuremly neither spies nm runawaya ihey cuuld not possibly be any- tiitiig else iria:i fnnl.s.
Hero lhe matier reaied. In this opinion Du Lon^ waa still more confirmed, when at the end of a f«w weekf, one of his giiesis. on elderly man, thus addresaed him :—
"Laiidlo'rd,'* said he, "we like your house; and if you %vill acquiesce in a certain whim, it ia probable that we might continuo for a lung lime to spend our monry with you."
'•Your honora have only lo give your com¬ mands ; an innkeeper la, by profeaaion, tho alave ofall lhe whims that throng to him from all the four quarters of the globe,''
"You have to be sure," coniinued the Eng. liahman, "had a prodigiuualy large beast painted on yoursign ; but your honse is only a fly among inna; it scarcely contains three tolerable rooms, and unfortunately they luok into ihe street.— We are fond of rest; we want to sleep. Your watchman haa a very loud voice, and the coach¬ es roll lhe whole nighi, along the street, aoos to make the windows ratUe. We wake every quarter of an hour to curae ihem, and fall asleep again 10 be awakened in nnoiher quarter of an h'lur. You must admit, my dear fetiow. ihis is enough todestroy our health and exhaust uur patience."
Tbe host shrugged his ahoulders. *'How can it he helped?"
•'Very easily,'' rtrplied the stranger; "if you are not afraid of a liiile more e.\pense ; in which we wili go halves, without requiring at our departure the smallest compensation."
Du Long, whose barren fields had, since the arrival of the Englishmen, been daily fertilized wiih a shower of guineas, promised to do all ihat lay in his power to satisfy hia worthy guesis ; but lie eould not help the ratiling ofthe coaches and bellowing ofthe watchman.
"Neither is it necessary,"' answered uio stran¬ ger. "Behind your house you have a ijarden, thuiigh you arc no lover of gardening; lor ex¬ cept a Iitile parsley for your .loups, I observe noihing but nettles. The old garden wall, too. in spite of its thickness, is just ready to tumble. Suppose you were to make use of this space lo run up a little building, a sort ot pleasure house- even if It were to contain no more than a couple of rooms. It mighl be supported by the old wall, by which mean? a considerable part of the expense would be spared, and the wall ilself would be propped up. As I just now mentioned tor the sake of a quiet lodging, wo would wil¬ lingly defray one half lhe cost, and when we are gone, thc building will bo yours- You will then have an additional couple of convenient rooms to let. If, on the other hand, you object to the proposal, wc must leave you-
Tfco IioBt, howo^-ar, had not the least objec¬ tion, though he thought wiihin himself. " My kinsman and I were right enough in concluding that theso people were fools."
Hc immediately sent for a bricklayer; the place was examined, and the Englishmen descri¬ bed what they ahould like to have done. Joists and brick were quickly brought; three light walls were run up, the old garden wall formed the fourth, from which sloped a half root; so thai tho whole looked more like a wood house than a habitation ; but the strangeis wero yaiis- fied, and Du Long laughed in his sleeve.
Two months thus pasecd in mutual content ; the golden spring flowed abundanily, though tho wine grew worse and worse every day. The two Englishmen very seldom quitted their lodg¬ ing,whero ihey ate, drank and read newspapers. The only ihiiig that surprised ihe landlord ofthe boldon Elephant was. thai for the sake of noc lurnal repose, they had built a house for them¬ aelves, and that now ho very ofien perceived a "ghi the whole nighi through in their apart¬ ments.
He once conjectured they might he coinera ; but as all the money they spent passed through his hands, and ihoir guineas, afier a moat care¬ ful examination, were always fuund lo be good, hia kiniiman and he had again no other alierna tive than to ael ihem down fur   fooie.
One fine day in autumn, he saw them go out with their gnns slung over their shoulders.— Thcy lold him they were going to tako ihc di¬ version of snipe-shooting and lookleavoof him for three days. The three days pusded and so did the fourth, but the sirangcrs did net make their appearance.
On the fifih Du Long shook his head ; on the aixth his kinsman began to sliake his alao ; on the aeventh this suspicious circumstance was communicaied lo the police ; and on tho eighth the deserted habitation waa broken open with all the formalities of law. On the table was tound a billei, the conienis of which were as loliowa : Dear Landlord—'Noi long aince we were so fortunate as to discover In a cbest ot old parch¬ ments, deeds that proved that one of our ances¬ tors forrnerly possessed at Andernach a large house, on the site of which three houses stand at present; yours ia one ot the three. When our ancestor was obliged to flee, he buried his gold and silver at the foot ofa thick wall, which is atlll in exist' nee. Amoug his papers we found one which afforded saiisfaciory informa¬ tion respecting the building.
"We immediately repaired to Andernach, and luckily found a pnb lie house on the apot eo in¬ tereating to us : we took lodgings in it, exam¬ ined everylhing, and concerted measures to take possession of our lawful inheritance without ex¬ citing notice. In what manner we removed all obstacles is well known lo you-
The great holo, and the empty iron chest, which you will find under the wall in our cham¬ ber, are proofs that wo have been successful.— We make you a present of the chest, and ad¬ vise you to fillup the hole, and to give yourself no further trouole about us ; all inquiries witl be in vain, aa the names we went by were only assumed—Farewell."
Thc landlord of the Golden Elephant stood stock still, and with opon mouth. His kinsman came ; both looked at the hole, and at theemp- ty cheat, and ihen ai one anoiher, and both agreed that the strangers were not auch fools as they had takon them for.—Albion.
Woman's MissiON.—A distinguished preacher thus sums up tho hiatory ofa woman who had been called to her long home :
"She ate, she drank, ehe slept, she dressed, she danced, and she died !''
The Lily says thia is the history ofthe mass oi women, but we think eome important chap¬ ters are left out. The mass of women are born, go to a boarding school, get married, go to church, brmg up a family, and die at:er thai ; and our opinion is, that any one who eaia welt, sleeps well, dresses woll, dances well, and dies well, has dune more for the world than many disiinguisbud people succeed in doing. It, m additiuii tu Ibis, bhe is born well, goes to school well, marries wall, goes to cbuicb welt, and brings up a family well, she has beon a public beneiacLur ut no urdiiiaiy kind.
A woman who is well born—wbo has recoiv¬ ed from ber parents a healthy mental and pliys- ical urganiZdiiun, und wbu cuuducts hersell well in tho ordinary rulaiionsut lile, la a very great woman. To know bow lo eat and dunk, and sleep, and dress, and dance, and die, is the sum ot knowledge, and he or auc who doe^ atl tbeto thuiga well, is wise and prudent above the com¬ mon urder ot Chnsttans and pbiloaophera.

It Is difiicult to explain why ihls was culled ihi' Norwcigan rar ; for it did not como f'mm N'>r--vay. Ii may surprise those who are .'^ticklers forihe Scandmnvian origin to know that ihi^ ra' waa brought io England from India and Peisiu in 1730. In 1750. the brcod made its wiiy I.l Frnnce ; audits progresa over.Europe has sine<' been moro cir leas rapid. WheiiPal- laa was travelling in Southern Ruaaio, he saw the first detachment arrive near the mouth of (he Voljia in 1776. Thn species multiplied so rapidly, breeding three times a year, each litter nnmberiiig from twelve to twenty, thar a single family, if kept out of harms way, would produce nearly a million in two years. Ne wonder they drove out the original black rat! In Ireland ihcy did more; they killed the frogs, once nu¬ merous In that country ; and, since the dimuni- tion ofthe croaking;race,ihe waters, as the pea- senis say, havo been less pure tlian formerly.— The Isle uf France was once adandoned by i^.e Dutch, becauae of the prodigious increase ol rats ; human life was hardly safe from theiral- tack-j. After making themaelves comfortable at home here in Ensland. the country of iheir adoption, they aent colonies acrosa ihe Atlantic —rat empire, like man's empire, taking its course westward. In the West Indies they found congenial quarters, no cold, and plenty ol foud ; and, multiplying in consequence at an astounding rate, they became a destructive and intolerable pest, till the inhabitanis were oblig' ed, in self-defence, to poison ihem wiih arsenic and peHetaoi cassava. The remedy was atten¬ ded by dismal results, for, tormented by thirst, after eating the poison, the rats swarmed down to drink at the stream, and falling In, the water waa poisoned, and a great, niurtality followed among the cattle that drunk from the same rivers. Besides this check, they have many na¬ tural enemies in the island : the Fermica omni- rora i.^; not the least formidable : a battalion of this specie.'i, known as the raffle's ant, makes but short work in clearing a plantation of every rat. At one time the negroes used to catch the rats and expose them tor saie in the markets of Jamaica, wliere the black population were al¬ ways willing purchasers. The Chinese, too, havo a weakness for " such small deer;" and it isa sianding bit uf iun ou board ships lying in Canton liarbor, to catch-a rat, nnd hold the sirug_ gling .inimal up by ihe tail In sight of the ceics- tial crew3 In the tea-lighters alongside. A shout is immediately set up. and no sooner Is rnt flunz from the ship, than an uproarious scramble fol¬ lowa for possession of the coveted prize. Much mischief has at times been dono on board the West India steamers, by rats gnawing their way into mail bags, and making fr^e with the contents. In one Instance, a will written on parchment was devoured, atl but the seal, great¬ ly to the vexation of the Individual at Demoro- ra, 10 whom it was addree^sed.
Where the black rat originally came from Isa myste^-y. Some suppose it to be a native of America. But how did it get ihere? Did it swim across Behring's Strait, and traverse the whole continent of Asia? One cause of its present rarily, besides the Invaeion mentioned above, is that it brings forth not more than fivo or six young at a time, and only once a year.
There are about one hundred species of rats, largo and small, audacious and harmleaa ; very however, devoid of the mischievous pro- penaiiy. Nine inchea is a respeciRblc length for a Norway rat; but the giant rat of Malabar is iwenty four inches long —one half body, tlie Oiher half tail. Tho hamster species swarm in the southern prnvincesof Russia, and has eei- tlemeniB in Hungary and Germany. They are excoFsively fond of liquorice, wheiber wild or Itivatcd, and find abundance of eiiher In those countries, commitiing sad havoc in the plan'a- lions. For winter uae, they a^ore up in iheir burrowa from twelve to one hundred pounds of grain in the ear and seeds in,pods, all well clean¬ ed and dried. The hamster is about tho size of a Norway rat, bu; with a tail nol mire thnn three inches in length. It has a puuch on each cheek, noi aeen when empty, but when full, ihey reaombje blown bladder** coated with fur. Thcee pouches are ihe animal'a panniera, and aro gen¬ erally carried home well filled wiih foraging ex peditiona, when thoy are emptied by pressing tho forepawa againat them: Dr- Russell, who dissected one of these rats, fouiid the pouches filled with young French beans, packed one upon the other so closely and skilfully, that the mos[ expert fingers could not have economised thc receptacle to greater advantage. When taken out and laid loosely, thcy formed aheap three limes the bulk ofthe creature's body I The hamster, moreover, ia brave as well as prudent and shrinks from^o enemy, be it man, horso or dog ; mere size has no terrora for it- If facing a dog, the rat empties his pouches ot their con- tcnis, and then inflating them to the utmost, gives such a big swollen appearance to his head .nd neck, as to present a most extraordinary contrast to his body.
The two 3e.\ea live apart in their habitations —the males inone sel of chambers, the females in the other; a practice which again shows anal¬ ogy between rats and some human sects. Thc peasants dig down to the bnrrowp in winter, and seizing the stores of grain, and the torpid rats, they eat the flesh ofthe latter in aome places and sell their skina. Ia Germany, rewards are given by the authorities for allthe rats broughi in; and it is on record in the town-hall oi Oo- ha, that not fewer than 145,000 were paid for hem during threo seasons.
few hasty worda with tbe new comer, and then came in and said : " My husband—the doctor.*'
Her visitor wanted to ace one juat aa much aa the other. He would very gladly have given the room to eiiher, but thc two in one stood in the door. He looked anxiously toward the fa¬ tal charmer whn had enticed him into a snare, and she smiled, showed her beauiiful teeth, and vanished.    The leeih reminded him ot hisown.
The doctor looked stern, and aaid sternly : " Did you wi.-;h losee me profesasionally. Sir ?'' Of courae he did. What elao could he say he was there for ? He though of the decayed tootb, and thought he wuuld have that out to get out himacli. It Avas nut exactly a looih for a tooth, but it soon will bt;. »
He took hia seat, andthe doctor applied the nipperaand—drew the wrong looih—a perfectly Bour.d one, upon one side of tbe other.
Ofcourse it was a mistake—a bloody mistake —bul easily remedied by pulling another. That would Iw a tooth tur a louih. The doctor would take no excuae, and applied the insirumenl again and drew—anoiher sound louth. The de¬ cayed one now stood alone, and lhe doctor thought, might perhaps get well ; he was tol¬ erably sure ihat hu bad cured the muaicat gen¬ tleman ofhis looihache, and very kindly lold bim to pay him five dnllnrs. and if his trouble¬ some tooth should ever ptegue him again, all he had 10 do waaio follow his wife home and he would pull all the teeth out ofhis head.—iV.

"WHEN I AM DEAD."
In the dim crypts of the heart, where deapair abideth, these words aeem written. A atrange meaning—a solemn intimation unfolda ilself at their utterance. Four simple monosylables- hov/ much ot gloom ye convey ! How ye speak in funeral tones ofthe e.\iinguiBhraent of earth¬ ly hope—ofthe spirit that has struggled in vain, and Is painfully quiet now !
" When I om dead !" ia uttered calmly ; but what a calm !—such as the tornado leaves wben silence broods over desolation. The voice pro¬ nouncing that despairing phrase, has not all its mournfulness from iisoll. The listening ear hears something m:ire ; for from those worda the groan of high aspirations quenched, and hopes pale and bleeding upon tbe sharp rocks of adversity, come up, phantom-like, amid the ghastly Ecciiet; of 11 e buried past.
" When I am dead!'' We have heard it often, like the penlini? bell that tolls the body ot thc departed to its final rest. The last word " dead," lingers strangely, and echoes sadly in the ear, and through the portals of the sympa¬ thizing soul. Dead—dead—dead—and the world grows gray, nnd the heart stills, and the eye moistens, to that myBierious sound.
The spirit trembles before the rushing flood of conflicting emotions which follow the dark echo, and essay to glance through its import.— But lhe echo fades amid encircling mist, and the spirit turns back confused with blindness.
Evfin the echo of death cannot be penetrated. The few feet of mould that composes the grave, are wider thau the globo, higher than the stars. Not the mind's eye, nor the anxious soul can glance through the barrier—the boundary be¬ tween Time and Eternity..
" When 1 am dead !" More or less aignifiea. resignation, or dependent wo, a fulfilment ofna¬ ture, or a perversion of its end, may these words express, though sad they are at best.
When tho aged man, whose steps have grown Icebln in thc welkr-of gi>udneM,.and ,whosB hands tremble with the fruits ot his ofi-given charity, utters those worda, they fall from ihe lips ns a prayer to heaven. In them his will harmonizes with his destiny ; and the tear that starts for a superior soul about to leave its clay, glistens inthe light of happiness thatgleamsout of the heart, at tho prospective reward oftho future.
The lips, too. that never pressed the rim of the founl of Nature's Poesy, may murmur •' Wh'!n I am dead !'' but death to such an one is beitei. periiapa, than life. His heart holds no music, chimine in cadences to weal and wo his inward existence is void, nnd tho rough sur¬ face of hia being checkered,' though not bright¬ ened by the half stray thoughts, darkend but lit¬ tle with the panoply ot the tomb.
How different, when youth, glowing with beauty of soul and heart, rich with the treasures of mind, and warm with sympathy for all of love- liiicea, sigha, like the souihwind 'When Iam dead :" A spirit aeems to wail its anthem, and an eclipse of ihe noontide sun to full upon the picture of a high nature checked in its purpose —turned from dulcet waves upon a coral reef, ngainst lhe rocks of a destructive shore.
" When I uin dead! " It ia as mournful as the plain'(»l a ghosL on the^ieinpest and mid¬ night wind. But wo muat all say it someiimo ; for the grave liea ai hand, yawning through a bed of ihoriia, or gleaming like a white avenue of hope leaning againsi the stars.
" When 1 iim dead !" Strange and learlul import hath ii to the utterer, but it is a weak phrase only loothers, the great world. Who speaks it ? many think the single going forth ot a soul will move none—all will be as befure- When hc,and you, and wo, gentle reader, are folded in our shrouds, friends dearest, and ihose who loved us best, will dry their tears ero they have all begun to flow. The heart ihat beats wilb rapture against our own will freeze above our memory in a brief time—briefer than woman's trust or man's period of goodness-
But it is wellihus; 'tis the worjd'a custom and nature's law. VVe weep not for the dead but when they die. We ahall soon be with tbem ; and it may be good, we go early td their narrow homes.

Cure for the Tootli-Ache—A True Story.
Beauty has charms. So it haa, almoet equal to music. It may aootli a savage breast. It did soothe, or charm, a German music teaclier one day last week. He was charmed with the beau¬ ty of a lady, bright as a aiar—level/ as those wbo dwell beyond, or in the shining orba. He aaw, and she conquered. He saw her in the streetand followed. Other poodles have done the .same. Sho entered a slore—sodid he. Not because he wanted to buy goods, but he thought an opportunity might occur for him to apeak muaic to her, or hear the muaic of her speech.
Oh, what a voice !—more sweet than his own fiddle; and ito tones vibrated to the very bottom o! hia lager beer barrel. And her smile—it siruck him to the heart, for he thought she smi¬ led upon him. Perhaps she did. We smiled at a bigger fool in the circus the other night. She looked at silks—he tried to Ait himself with a pair "of glovea. Both were hard to suit, and time sped. At length she left, and took a stage for her home up town. Ho took the aame mode of getting away frora his home, and went up by the same conveyance, wiihout any definite place in view at which he should pull tho airap. He wailed paiiently for tlie lady to give the firat pull She got out, and entered a brown stone front.— He noted tho spot, and ended bia ride at the next corner, and came back and looked up to the cold walla, and thought—yea, he thought of the warm heart within, and tbe sweet face ihat smiledr-waa it at or for him ?
"Hope told a Qatt«rlng t&Ie," and he thought ifhe cuuld only enter that por¬ tal he could win the cuadel. But how 7 wbat excuse ahould he make, or who inquire for, when the door woa opened 1 Fortune came to hia aid, and showed htm a dentist's sign.
" Ah, true,*' aiid ho, "I have a decayed looth ;" end walked botdlyjap and rang the bell Foriune favored him a^ain* Tho lady aareelf opined tht door*   Hul iho wttehtd him frsm
Uses of Science-
'I'he following beautiful and masculine i^ziract ia from an addreaa recently delivered by Judge Black before the Agricultural Society of Someraet couniy. It gives a vivid picture of human progreas, hi garments oftho most classic beauiy.
¦'Without Science, mun, the ruler ot this world, would be the moat helpless ofall aninia- led beings. His Creator made him the monarch ofthe earth, and gave him dominion over it; to levy unlimited contributions upon il,and convert everylhing to his own u£0. But he found him¬ self ut the head ol a revolted empire. All its physical forcea wero in a atate of insurrection agiiinet hia lawful authority. The inferior ani¬ mals were his enemies- The storm poured their lury on his unahehured head. He was terrified by the roar of tho thunder, and the lightning aeared his eye-balls. He was parched under the hot sun of summer* and in winter be wag pier¬ ced by the cold. Tha eoil, cursed for hia sake, produced thorns and thistlses. The food that mighl eustain hia life grew beside the poiaon that would deatroy it, and he knew not how to distinguish one from the other. The earth hid her minerala deep in her bosom, and guarded them with a rampart of thicked ribbed rucks.— The rivers obstructed hia passage ; the moun¬ tains truwned their defiance upon him ; and the forest spread its gloom around htm, breathing a browner horror upon the dangers that beset his way. If he left the dry land, and trusted himself to the ocean, the waters yawned to en- gulph him, and the tempeat came howling on his track.
" He seemed an exile and en outcast in the world of which he waa made to be tbe sovereign. But Science comes to rescue the powerless king from his misery end degradation^ Gradually ho learns frum her the laws of hia empire, and ihe means by which hia rebel subjects may be con¬ quered. From age lo age be accumulates tbe knowledge, that clothes him with power, and fills hia heart with courage. Step alter step he mounta upward lo the tbruiie which God com- miaaioned him lo fill. Ha holda a barren seep- 'tre in hia hand no longer- Creation benda to do him humagc. The subjugated elements owe him for ihuir lord, yield bim tbeir feahy, and become the aervanta of his will. The minti surrenders Its treasures: the wilderness blooms around him like a new Eden; the rivers and ih»> sea bear bis wealth upon iheir bosom ; the wind watta bis navies round the globo; steam, the joint product of fire and water, becomea hia obedient and powerful stave ; tbe sunbeams are trained to ,do hia painting; tbe hghtntng^eaps away tu curry his meaiages; and the earth works with ceaseless activity to bring forth whatever can minister lo hia gratification."
The best capital for a young man is a cspiial young wife. So a young g«at iuformi as who bu jut "foM tnd don* it*"
Tbe QuioK-SiGHTED, Suort-Siouted, and FaR-Siohted.—''But I am sure my eyea are belter than a sparrow's !" Are you quae aure young lady—who would be proud to bave your eyea likened to thoss of the gaxelle-that you^ eyea are as good even aa a vulture's? Somu huntera in Bengal killed a large wild boar, and left it outaide their tent. An hour afierwarda the bky waa blue und cloadieas, only a mtnuie speck in one, quarter fixtd their aiieniion. It became larger, and proved to bea vulture fiying in a straight lino out of the far heavena towards their wild boar- In leaa than an hour seventy vultures had thus fiowii in straight lines frum al{ quarters 01 the aky. Again—Aleppo is so placed thai itmay be seen from a great diatance- Stand alter dinner on the terrace-roof of a house ai Aleppo, and maka geatures with your hands, ae if you were acaitariug crumbs. Flocks of birds will dart to your feei out of a aky in which, juai belure, not one was viaible. Fn-m tho upper regions of the. air they keep a look-out on the flesh-pots of lhe Syrians. The bird that Is bo far sighted is near-sighted too; it diacriminatea morsels and sees accurately what it should pick at, between iia eyes and the point of its beak ; fur it muat adjuat iia eye, and docs po readily, even to that short disiauce. The bird too has a surprising quickness of sight. When flying at lhe pace of an express tririn under shelter o( a forest, it will see iis way among the boughs.and never once eufTer collision after our expresa-train fashion- So qaick-sighted, far-aightcd, and ahort-aighted aro birds- Now, I have observed you when amonjj unlealhered songsters at the opera, looking from your box al Signer Lablache —who is not the smallest crumb in nature— through a liowerful pair of glassea to tho aid of your eyea. Properly to admire your lovely face, I have myaolf used a liitle telescope when you shone as a stair from the grarui tier.
