THE WIDOW.
"What a pleasant face Miss Yonng has," said I to xay companion, as tbe lady of whotn I spoke passed the window where we were pitting. " What a pity she ia an old maid ; Ler Hfe mnst be Ench a lonely one."
*' An old maid's life is lonely enough, no donht," was the reply I reoeived, *Mf you mean a solitary hearth, and a Tacant spot in tbe heart which shonld bave heen filled by the love of husband and children. But Mias Young is neither lonely nor unloved. The affection that migbt bave bound ber to one family, is divided among many, at whose homes sbe is a welcome and expected guest. As tbe world speaks she has only herself to look out for; but she is not satisfied with this selfish life; of uo one could It be said more truly than of her—* she goes about do¬ ing good.' Miss Young is not so much to be pitied. I tbink she might rather be envied. Then I do not call ber an old maid. She is a widow."
"A widow! You astonish me! Yet you cal¬ led ber Miss."
"Soldo. But sbe is a widow, neverthe¬ less. I who know more of her than moat— wbo have leamed her history from ber own lips—know her to be a widow, thongb I call ber Miss as others do.**
" Then tbere bas been romance in ber Hfe ¦.^-something more than thoae who have al¬ waya known ber are acc|.uainted witb ! Do I understand you aright?"
"Therehas been romance in it, though perhaps, uot more tban very mauy could re¬ count from'personal experience; yet sufficient to change its current, and make her an old maid in the belief of the world, a widow iu mine."
The stoiy I then listened to of Miss Young*3 girlifib days, I will now repeat, substitming 5Qy own language for that of the narrator.
Twenty-five years ago, Lucy Young had Just passed ber seventeenth year, aud was a fresh, good looking countiy girl, whosa prin¬ cipal personal charms consisted in the glow and vigor of health, and cheerfal smiles, he- tokening a contented beart, that beautified heriace, A city belle, with her hot-bouse ideas, might have sneered if Lncy bad been cited to her aa a model of beauty. ^-Kevertbe- iess, Lucy was among the fairest maidens of tbe little neigbborhood in whicb she lived. She was a belle in her country way, challen¬ ging by ber nataral graces—not coquettisbly, as tbe city Miss knows how—the admiration of all tbe beaus for miles around.
She was a farmer's daughter, Siud. busy with the heavy share of farm-house work wbich was her daily duty to perform, ahe lived hap¬ pily on tbrougb winter and summer, ignorant of the havoc among tbe hearts she was guil¬ ty of, as ber bright eyes, and fall, rich voice charmed the village swains. Ignorant, did I aay f^She would not bave been a woman if she were ignorant of it all. Nor must it be denied that abe sometimes '^felt a womanish fluttering of the heart, maybe an innocent feeling of elation, wbich might bave been mistaken as coquettish, as some more dariog admirer gave slight token of bis preference. There was one to whom she was not indif¬ ferent : James Uartwell, a neighbor's son, wbo had been ber boy lover from the time when they leaned over the " school-ma'am's" lap, side by aide, and learned the rudiments of education; onward, wben they had walks to and from school in sammer time, aud when be gallantly assisted her throngb the deep snow, upon his sled, in winter; onward, from the innocent time wben the bonest affections of their boy and girl hearts did not think of disguising; up, when, aa tbey grew iu knowl¬ edge and stature, and learned more of the ways of the world, they became more timid aud reserved, thnngb not more cold, till now, wben she, finding herself come to woman's estate, and with the consciousness tbatchildr ish ftielings bad passed away, waa waiting coyly to be won; and he, with tl^e newly fledged dignity of manhood, justified by the appearance of a soft down upon his chin, was eager to woo her. Jamas Hartwell, of all her admirers, conld most readily call a blush to ber cbeek, and send a happy thrill to her heart.
James was a mau uow, andhe bad a higher ambition thau that of following his father's cccapation as a tiller of tbe soil. With in¬ cessant labor, his fatber had acquired a little money, and so might he iu tbe same pursuit; but it was snch a hnmdram life. So, after deliberation in the family, wbicb waa some¬ what hastened by tbe young man's eagerness it was decided that tbe city shoald be the place wherein to develope his talents, before he settled in business for himself.
To tba oity, then, he went; bnt not before he bad claimed and received a promis e from Lucy tbat she would be hia wife at tbe expi¬ ration of tbe year of trial, when he prepared to enter life for himself.
He weut away with a glad heart, strength¬ ened by tbe aasurauce of her love, and ready to give battle to a tboasand imaginary diffi¬ culties.   Lucy remained at home,. while tbe remembrance  of ber lover brightened her matter-of-fact life, which was apent in dairy and culinary duties.   James waa ao noble and good;,8o energetio and persevering.    He would be aure to succeed.   And tben, wben 1 b^ h^d established a reputation lu the world,' be would come back to her.   Kor did sbe overrate bis powera.   He was a person sure to succeed; though he found difficulties wbicb wheu he first set out to aeek bis fortune be bad not dreamed of. No Uons beset Ms patb. No heroic deed was there to he accomplished. But he met witb just sucb obstacles as every fanner lad, clad in a plain auit of homespun, with ooontry mannera, and perhaps too atrict notions of integrity and virtue, mnat meet and overcome, before be finds a smootb road. Yonng Hartwell was peculiarly aenaitive to Blights and ridicule, and never one strived harder than be to remedy tbe defeota in eda¬ cation ^d-manners which subjected him to these .trials.. And, as I have saad he was one cprtaih ofBUCceaa in everything he nndertook
intertwined with the memory of the put, and all the hopes he ever had of the future, that he never deemed it possible to forget her. He made ocoasional visits to hta native town. And how proud she waa of the Improvement abe saw in her lover I How humble sbe felt besides bim, and tried to make herself more worthy of beooming his wife.
At last the years of Hartwell's probation were gone. Long years, in anticipation, tbey were to tbeir warm, yonng hearts: bnt short and blossoming with bope, aa they passed He had retumed to hia native village with tbe repntation of being a talented and rising young lawyer. There was now no obstacle in the way of their union, so it was named to take plaoe at an early day.
A wedding is alwaya the occasion of a great oommotion in a couutry village. It is a veri¬ table " tempest in a tea-pot," from tbe ^rst anuonncement of ita contemplation, until its flnal consnmation. Aud this wedding was no commou one; for the young lawyer thougb bom and bred iu the oommunity, was a small species of lion.
Such tea parties as were tbe result of this wedding in preparation I Suoh examinations of, and comments upon, the table and hed linen, all of Lnoy's manufaoture I Those were primitive days, kind reader, and it is since then that euterpriae bas reached our qniet little village, and converted it into a busy mart. And ita siuce then that women bave forgotten the oocupationa of tbe wheel and loom, and have resigned them to machinery, wbich, in its cliok and olatter, and unvarying motion, seem almost to possess life.
There waa the bouae to fumiah, for then no married conple thonght of boarding— Tbat, too, ia a modem innovation. As soon as the ceremony was over, tbe two must re¬ move, like a little colony, and begiuning life, depend npon tbemselves. What a pleasure tbere was, too, in the famishing of tbe house. There waa not merely obaira aud carpets, (home-made) and beda and curtains in it.— Tbe drapery of Hope festooned every room. Bright piotures of the fature hung upon tbe walls. Fauoy and anticipation aat down in the chairs, or gronped tbemselves at the fire¬ side ; while every feeling that is beautiful and good in tbe human heart, clustered be¬ neath the roof. So what if tbe aotual were plain and homely, it was aeen only through tbe ideal, and a grace could not have been added.
Theu there waa tbe bride's wardrobe—that moat importaut part of all. And all the maidens must see and admire tbe wedding robe of simple muslin, half envying the soon- to-be bride, and wondering within their hearts when they will be called npon to deck themselves in a similar garment.
The wedding was near at haud. There were only a few intervening days, wben sor¬ row came to Luoy. She bad beard, from tbe first, that ber intended husbaud drank too freely in convivial conipany. In all frank¬ ness and gentleness sbe had gone to him with the rumor, which he candidly admitted to be true. Then she reasoned with him npon bis oourae, aud urged him, by his love for her, to abstain iu futnre. At flrat he made light of the whole matter, and strove to dispel ber fears. But she could not be satis¬ fied. Tben be made a promiae, a careless one, that be would be as temperate as &he wished him to be. Sbe had full faith in hla integrity, for he was to be her husband, and it would be injustice to douht bim. So the time passed on, and the wedding was uear at haud.
Lucy had chosen for her bridesmaid a young girl with whom sbe had been on terms of the chaaeat friendship from early child¬ hood. Mary Hall waa her name. One after noon Miaa Hall came in iu her usual informal way, to pass an hour in confidential ohat.— The approaching festivity, in which they were both to take so prominent a part, was, of course, tbe theme of tbeir conversation.— And while they talked, they put the finishing touches to tbe bridal dreas. When this was completed, Lucy put ou to try its eSeota, witb the aid of Mary's tasteful eye. It was fault¬ less. Its merits were discussed, and Mary flattered ber friend by declaring tbat James would admire her more thau ever, when he saw her arrayed in it. Then, with a natural bent, the conversation turned upon tbe in¬ tended huaband.
"W^aa it from a spirit of oharity, or envy, or malice ? or shall it be set down to thought¬ lessness—who sball judge 1 Mary told ber listener of tbe disoluteuess of ber lover; proved how heartless had been hia promise of abstinence from the intoxicating draught; told ber how he was a mocker of all that was holy and pure ; how he spoke the name of woman lightly; revealed to ber—alas! it mnat be said—bis true character; nor noted tbe efl'ect. Lucy sat, with clasped hands, gasping breatb, and face aa white as the gar¬ ment she wore, listening to the recital.— Whan Mary finally took note of Lnoy'a blanched cbeek, she waa frightened at the evil ahe bad done, and strove, by every means in bar power to undo it. Bnt the wonnd she had made waa too deep a one for worda to heal. Its effect was destined to last a life¬ time, instead of an hour.
Was tbis the mau abe had thought perfeot above all others ? How ruthlessly wad the idol tom from its pedestal I The blow was too heavy, and in mercy to her, unconactoui- ness came and robbed her of all feeling for a time. Still robed in her bridal dresa, they bore ber to what they feared was the couch of death, while Mary, nearly distracted, wept over the ruin abe had wrought. Bnt life throbbed in Lucy's veins witb too much vigor to be soon extinguished. She recovered alowly, thougb the bloom did not come back to her check, and her atep was less ela-itic.
From flrat returning conaoiouaness she bad clung to tbe bope that the chargea against her lover were false, tbat he waa yet all that waa noble and good. In juatice to him sbe aougbt every meana of learning bis true character; but the reports were only confirm¬ ed. He himaelf had not one word to off*)r in denial, though many in begging her forgive ness, and making promises of amendment.— She demanded to be released from her engage¬ ment. He plead with ber, and even wept, for he loved her—but with a selfish love. How terrible her heart was racked in thia painful trial no one bnt heraelf can know. She had lost faith iu him; she could never restore him to the place ber husbaud muat occupy in ber beart; so sha persisted in her demand. And when she told him all tbis, be fiually yielded to her.
And Lucy Youug was a widow. For she had given to one all the love ahe had to be¬ stow upon a huaband. And sbe had aeen that one taken from her by as unrelentful a band aa death's. It would not have been ao bitter for her, if sbe oonld have wept over hia grave in the full belief or the many vir¬ tnea whicb abe had aooredited to him. Bnt now tbe agony of aeparation was doubly great, and daily felt; for she must endure bia presence, and look npon the features which bad once been so dear to her, and know that all wbich ennobles manhood had died within bim.
Then tbere came long and dreary years to her, bringing the misery which those feel who bave no object to live for, and a hitter memory to feed their thoughta upon. At last the death of her parents recalled her to tbe present; and wheu the first bitteraess of this new affliction waa over, she began to ask herself if she had not aomethlng to aocom- pllah in life, the neglect of whicb, in dwelling upon her sorrowa, waa a sin which she was accountable for. Thenceforth she reaolved to embrace every opportanity to make others happy. There was no one who had olaims npon her, for she had been an only ohild. So sbe took up her residence in the village, now grown intoa ihriving town; and as the years wore on, sbe became the oheerfal, patient woman ahe now is, readj to extend an'auis-
whezever she goes.

A JUGGIEH'S DUEl.

Joe Latti, a shrewd travelved Yaukee—a juggler to boot—gets aboard the old frigate Brandywine at Gribraltar, bringing with him a good deal of money and a big trunk of "magician implements." He acts assiatant steward, and becomes a great favorite with the crew. At Port Mabon they go ashore. Joe, in full toggery, enters a wine-shop, drinks, aud Joe accidentally gets into a quarrel with a ferocious Spanish infantry captain. A duel ensues, as follows:
"My name ia Joseph Latti, sir—a cit>zen of the United States, and a general of the Order of Sublime Darknesa," aud Joe very pompoua- ly, turning to tbe Spaniard ; "your name, sir!"
" Autuoio Bixar, Captain ofher moat Sacred Catholic Majesty's 7th Regiment of Infantry. But your offlce, air; I do not comprehend."
"Oh, you wouldn't know if I waa to tell you. I am aimply general ofa body of men who bave sold tbemselves to tbe gentleman who bams sinners and heretics, down tbere p' And Joe pointed most mysteriously down towards the floor as be spoke.
The Spaniard amiled a very bitter, sarcastic smile, aud thereupon Joe took up two large knives tbat lay on the bar, and tossed them one after the other down hia tbroat, making several wry faces as they took their passage downwards. The fellow bad evideutly never seen anything of tbe kind before, for he was astonished.
" Now, air," aaid Joe, makiog one or two more grimaces, aa though he felt the knives somewhere iu the region of the diapbrgm, "you will wait bere while I go and bring my pistols, and you shall have satisfaotion ; will you wait ?"
"I oau procure pistols," said the officer, forgetting bis astonishment aud coming batk to his anger.
" I ahall figbt with my own.   If you are a geutleman you will wait." Joe turned to ns and bade ns wait for him* " Here I gentlemen! ^here he my knivea?" cried the keeper.
" I'll pay for tbem when I come back," and he then beckoned for me to come out I did so; he took the knives—one from hia bosom and tbe other from his sleeve—aud lold me to keep tbem uutil he retnrned.
It seems that Joe found a boat ready to take bim off to tbe ahip at once, for be was not gone more than three-quarters of au hour ; wbeu he came back be had two super¬ bly mounted plstola with him. He loaded them with powder tu the presence of the Spaniard, and tben handing him a hall, asked him if he would mark it, so tbat be wonld know it again. The fellow hesitated at firat, but at length he took it witb a mad gesture, and bit it between his teeth.
"I shall know that," "unless it is battered againat your bonea." •' Now select your piatol," said Joe, The man took tbem and examined tbem, but waa satisfied they were alike and both good, and he told Joe he had uo oboice. So the steward put the balls in and rammed them carefully dowu.
The whole party now adjourned to a wide conrt back of tbe cafe, where twelve paces were marked off, and tben the combatants took their stations. I trembled for Joe, for I saw not yet how he would make fuu out of this. " Count," said the Spaniard impatiently. " One—two—three I"
The captain fired first, aud with most delib¬ erate aim. Joe fired iu tbe air. Then tbe latter walked deliberately np to his antagon¬ ist, and taking a ball from hetween his teetb, handed it to him. " You can use that uext time," said Joe. " San Pablo !" 'exclaimed Bisar, "you mnst use some—some^whatyou oaU him ?—some trick, eh ? I shall load the pistol myself."
'• Do so," said Joe, calmly, and as he spoke he cooly banded over bis powder flask.
Tbe Spaniard poured out an extra quantity of powder, and having poured it iu the pistol, called for a rammer. He then put the same ball in he used before.
Meanwhile, Joe had been loading bia own pistol.
"One moment," uttered Joe, reaching out his hand. " The caps are in the buttof your pistol.   Let me get tbem."
The fellow handed over his pistol, hnt kept his eye upon it. Joe opened a little spring at the end of tbe bntt, aud true, tbere were some percuaaion caps there. He took ont two, and having capped hia own pistol, he tossed it into the air, catching it very adroitly as it came down, and tben handed back tbe other to tbe Spaniard. I had watched Joe moat carefully, but I saw notbing out of tbe way, and yet he changed pistols with his foe. "Now," cried he, "I'll put a ball iu my pistol, and tben we will be ready."
He alipped aometbing iu'that looked like a cartridge, hat no one elae saw it.
" Aud now," said tbe Spaniard, "let's see you hold tbia in your moutb."
Again they took their atations and again they were ready, " One—two—three !"
And the Spaniard fired first, by aim, ^oe firing in the air aa before. And again Joe stepped forward aud took the self-same hall out of his month and handed it to hia auta- gomst. The fellow was completely dumb¬ founded.
"You did not fire at me I" gasped tbe captain.
"But ru fire at you next time," said Joe, in a tone of tbunder; "thus far I have only shown you that powder aud ball have no effect on me. You bave now fired at me twice, with as trae a pistol aa was ever made, and both times have I caught your ball be. tween my teeth, while I bave flred in the air. I meant tbat you ahould live long enough.to know for once in your life you had aeen, if not the old fellow himself, at least (pomting downward) one who is in his employ. The old gentleman 'will like the company of a Spanish Captaiu of Infantry, and 111 aend you aloug-   Gome, load agun."
Bnt the Spaniard did not Beem inclined to

them up his coat sleeves. When we retnraed to the cafe he approaohed the keeper.
" You waut yonr knifes," he said.
But the poor fellow dared not speak. Joe pnt his hand to his rigbt ear and pulled oat one of the long knives. Then from tha left ear he drew the other. The Spanish inn¬ keeper crossed himself In terror, and shrank trembling away. But we finished our wine> having paid for it, and turned to go."
" Here 1" said Joe to the keeper, " I haven't paid for the use of that yard," throwing npon the counter a piece of silver.
"No,no, no!" shrieked the poor fellow.— "Don't leave your money here, don't I"
Joe picked it up, and went away laughing.
After that, while he remained at Mabon, Joe Latti was an object botb of curiosity and. terror on ahore, for an aoeount, all oolored to suit the exaggerated conceptions of the cap¬ tain and cafe-keeper, had been, spread over tbe oity, and the pions Catholics wanted little to do with such a man, except to keep bim good-natured.
A ThriUing Incident in the Life of a Iiocomotive Engineer.
In returning from Philadelphia abont tbe middle of August, 1858, the cars were very orowded, and my compauiou in the same aeat with me I found ont to he a looomoiive en¬ gineer, and in tbe course of our conversation, he made the remark that he hoped he had rnn his last trip npon a locomotive.
Upon making bold to aak the reaaona, he gave me the following atory, and ainoe then I have fouud it out to be strictly true : " Five years since I was running npon the
N. Y. C. R. R.   My run was from B  to
R .   It waa the Lightning Express Train,
and it was what, its name denotes, for it was faat—a very faat run, and if I do say it, tbe old Tomado conld go. I have seeu her throw her six foot driver ao as to be almost invisi¬ ble to the eye. And let me bere remark, it is suppoaed by many that railroad engineers are a bard hearted set "of men; their lives are bard, 'tis tme, but I do olaim to have as fine feelinga, and a heart that sympathizes with tbe unfortunate, as any man tha^ breathea.   But to my story.
" Ahout balf a mile from the village of B— there ia a nice little cottage bnt a few feet from the traok. At that time a young married couple lived there. They had one child, a little boy about fonr yeara old, a bright, blaok eyed, curly-beaded little chap as you ever aaw, I bad taken a great deal of interest in tbe little fellow, and had thrown candy and oranges to him from the train, and I was sure to see him peeping through the fence wheu my train pasaed.
" One fine sunny aftemoon we were behind time aud running fast, and did not stop  at
B , and I was to make np one hour before
reaching R . We cams' up at a tremen¬ dous speed, and when sweeping aroand the curve, my eye following tbe track, not over two-hundred feet ahead sat tbe little fellow playing witb a kitten, which he beld in hia lap. At the sound of onr approach he looked up and laughed, clapping bis little hands in high glee at tbe affrighted kitten as it ran from tbe track.—Quicker tban the lightning that blasta the tall pine npon tbe mountain top, I whistled " down brakes," and reversed my engine, but knew it waa impoasible to stop. Nobly did the old engine try to save. The awfnl straining and writhing of its iron drives told but too plainly of the terrific ve¬ locity we had attained. I waa ont of the cap window and down on the ci^-catober iu a flash- The little fellow atood atill. I motioned him off and ahouted; hia little black eyes opened wide with aatoniabment, and a merry laugh was npon his lips. I held my breath as we rushed upon him, made a deaperate attempt to catch bim, but missed, aud as his little body passed I heard the fseble ory of "mother," and the forward trucks crushed bia body to atoms.
" O, God, that moment I I may live, sir, to he au old man, but tbe agony of that moment cau never be erased from my mem¬ ory. The cars atopped some rods from tbe apot, and I ran hack as aoon as posaible.— His mother saw the train stop and a fearful foreboding flashed upon her at once. She came rushing frantically to the spot where we atood. Never shall I forget the look she gave me aa she beheld her first-born a shape¬ less mass. I would bavt. given my whola existence to have avoide 1 tbat moment! I have seen death in all its forms upon rail¬ roads ; Ihave seen, men, women and ohildren mangled and killed—I bave seeu all tbia, but that little iunocent hoy as he looked up in my face, and was killed almost in my arma, it unnerved me, and from that day I made a solemn vow never to run a looomotive more.
" Tbat young mother ia now in the Utica Lunatic Asylnm. From the honr her boy waa killed reason had left its throne." He atopped and wiped the tears from his eyes, and said, " You may think it weak of me to abed teara, but I oannot help it." *' No," I replied, "but think it noble ; and, sir, would to Grod every man had a heart as large as yours." I have ofteu thougbt aiuce how few are those who give one pasaing thought to tbe man of strong nerve aud a stout arm, wbo guides them tbrough darkness and storms, with tbe speed of the wind, safely to tbeir jonmey'd eud. They do not, for a moment, turn their attention to the iron monster that is dragging them forward, with fearful velocity, to meet friends or relations. They do not re¬ alize tbat tbe man who guides tbe fiery mou~ ster bolds aU their precioua lives at hia com¬ mand, and tbat tbe least negligence npon bis part wonld cause sorrow aud mourning in a thoasand homes that are now waiting tbe return of the absent loved ones.—Cleveland Revieio.

Doctor Hill, a notorious wit, physician, and man of letters, baving qnarrelled with the members ofthe Royal Society of London, who had refuaed to admit bim as au associate, resolved to avenge bimself npon tbem in a novel manner. He addressed to their secre¬ tary a letter purporting to be written bya oonntry surgeon, aud reciting tbe particulars of a cure whioh be had effected. '' A sailor," he wrote, " broke his leg, and applied to me for help. I bound together tbe broken per* tians, and washed them with the celebrated tar water. Almost immediately the aailor felt the beneflcial effects of this remedy, and it was not long before bis leg was completely healed!" Tbis cure waa published abroad at the very time that Bishop Berkeley had issued his work on tbe marvellous virtues of tar-water, and excited consequently, great attention. The letter waa read and dlacus- ded at the meetings of the Royal Sooiety, and caused considerable difference of opinion.—¦ Papera were written for and against tbe tar- water aud the restored leg, when a second letter arrived from the (pretended) country- practitioner:—" In my laat I omitted to men¬ tion tbat tbe broken limb of the sailor was a wooden leg I"

A Chacked CojniANDMKNT.—Wo heard a suggestive expression related the otber day of a very little girl, wbo was taken by her mother into a shop, where a tempting basket of oranges atood exposed for sale. While her mother was engaged in another part of tbe room, the little one feasted her eyea on the fmit, and nursed the temptation in her heart, till it grew too strong to ba reaiated, and she hid oue of the oranges uuder her apron, and walked quicklf away. But con¬ science remonstrated so strongly, that after a Uttle reflection she walked as quickly baok, aud as slyly- replaced the orange in tbe bas¬ ket. Again tbe forbidden fruit out of her possession, presented ita tempting aide, and agaiu ahe yielded. After a abarper conflict than before, consolence gaiued a second vic¬ tory, and the almost atoleu orange was again taken and fiually reatored. With a saddened coutenance she walked home with her moth¬ er, and when they were alone, horst into teara, exclaiming, " Ob mother, I cracked one of the Commandments I I didn't break it— Indeed I didn't break it, mother—quite—bnt I'm sure I cracked it."
We shaU never again see a piece of donbt¬ ful condnot, witbont thinking there's a Com¬ mandment cracked.
of iuterest aud ouriosity, and at last, wheu both were a liltle foot-weary, he propoaed go¬ ing np into hia own pleasant ohamber, and looking over his little library,
" Have yon got a library, Robbie ? I am sure I don't expeot lo have one until I get to be a man.
"Only a little one, Lewis. I am afraid you wiU not think it deaerves tbe name. But it Is growing aU'the time, 'and gives me a great deal of pleasure aa it ia."
" Well, let us go in, for I have quite a cn¬ rioalty to see it,"
Robert led the way to his own room, and a very pleasaut ohamber it was. His good mother sought to make bome the pleasantest spot in the world for her ohildren, and was well rewarded by tbe warm love they always felt for it. She gave this room to Robbie for hia owu on bis tenth birthday, with the one condition, that it ahould be always ueatly kept.
In a coraer, where a good light would fali npon them, ware arranged four book shelves contalnging Robert's preciona library. A UtUe curtain was croaaed before them to pro¬ tect tham from duat, and when this was drawn aaide, his frieud exolaimed, in real admira¬ tion,
"Wbat a beautiful coUection of books you have, Robert! How did you get so many ? Were tbey all given to you ?"
" Yes, nearly all of them. But very few at a lime. I bave made a practice of keeping carefully allthe books I ever had given to me, except some toy pioture-books, wbich mother said I * had out-grown.' Thoae I gave lo my little couain Ellen. I alwaya get books for my holiday presents, becanse fatber thinks them more uaeful, and knowa that they give me moat pleaaure. I made tbese shelves myself, and sister Lucy fixed up that curtain on rings, so I oould slide it easily."
"Wby, Robert, I have bad dozena of books given me New Years, and Cbristmas, and bitlhdays, but somehow tbey always get apoiled pretty soon, and tben I lose sight of tbem. I expeot tbey are sent up in tbe attic. If I had only taken care of them, I might bave had a library loo. How I wish I had I The baby and Johnny tear them ug awfully."
"Yoa muat put them in tbeir places when you are tbrough using them. That is tbe only way to keep tbem nicely. Father aays books don't, get injnred much by just reading them; it is by leaving tbem about care¬ lessly."
" I do believe I will commeuce saving mine from this time. I have a few decent ones to begin with, and I know father will give me some shelves. But whatis tbis big, black' covered book in the coruer here ?"
"Tbat is my scrap-book, Lewis; and I could eaaier part with any other book I have. I could sapply the place of any other one, hut I conld not possibly get the same articles to¬ gether that I have in this."
"Let me see wbat aort of things yon put in one," said Lewis turniug ovir tbe leavea. " I should uot know how lo go about auch a thing."
" Well, fatber gives me the papers every week, when he has selected what be wiabes —for he makea a scrap-book too, Lewis—aud tben I come up here andlook them over care fully. When I come to anything I think would be useful to me in the future, I cut it out and aave it. Sometimes it ia a story- from * tbe Children's Column,' sometimes a sweet piece of poetry, then au anecdote, or a description like that about the * Boiling Springs' there. I paste In the scraps nearly every week, it is so mncb easier tban to wait until I have a great many. Aun gives me a apoonfull of clear starch to paste tbem with whenever she makea it. That ia the very nicest kind. It never comes "off like gam arable. 0 I do enjoy making my scrap-book BO mucb, Lewis !   I wisb you would try it V
And Lewis did so when be returned to the oity, and gathered his little books iuto a li¬ brary, too, not allowing them to lie scattered all over tbe bouse as formerly. He took a freah iuterest in reading both books and pa¬ pers, and found the system be bad adopted a very improving as well as agreeable one.

Birihdays should be hnng In black, and not in festive; for they mark not what we have gained, but what we bave loat. Life, unhappily, is not gradation, but retrograda- tion. It isaitownward sweep,/rom and not to the ends coveted and slfnggled for. Life haa its face forever set towarda a goal; but, year by year, sees tbat goal mora and more distant. It started out with hopes that it could nearly reacb; with honors almost touch- its brow; with glory, and fame, and bappi¬ ness, seemingly falling into its np-stretohed bands. But with every year, tboae hopes, and tbat happineas, have slowly receded— fading into clondy distances, aud up to inao- cesaible heights. Life pursues them, until age oomes down npon blood, the Umbs, and the lusty vigor, aud tbey disappear, alas, for¬ ever. Life ia a perpetual labor of Slaypbns. It is the sohool-boy'a two steps backward to one step forward. Nothing, nothing more. I will keep no birthday's which only mark how far I sink away from the things I have sought; which notch darkly my faU, and not my rise.

" Laugh and grow fat," ia an old saw, the ending of whicb, though too unctuous for our relish, yet is tbe natnral effect of the begin¬ ning.
Fun has its uses. Merriment bas a sanitary mission. Laughter ia better thau laws passed by Boards of Health. If one would take sea¬ sonable and regular recreation, many a fit of sickness would be avoided.
The peregrinating band-organ, with ita dis¬ cordant harshness, is annoying; but acrosa those gardena, from yonder street, tbe mn.sic of one comes iu, accompanying a voice sing¬ ing a cheerful air. At the first strain our spirits bounded, and the pen dropped; we found ouraelves at the open window listening. We had not been oonaoiona of heavineas or depreasion of spirits ; but as we heard that cheerful melody, we felt an increasing huoy- anoy as if a superincumbent mass of matter was being removed from us. Lighter and lighter we felt, till oblivions to all but joy.
We were not the aole liateners to tbis chance musio. Tbe maid cleaning windowa in tbe house opposite dropped ber bare arma and atood like a statue ; and one in eacb of the next two honses opened the doors aud atood in aUent enjoyment. A man put his head and shoulders from a window of the bouse beyond tbe comer garden; and leaning for¬ ward, seemed afraid of losing a tone of tbe mnsic. Presently, it ceased ; and all of them disappeared in tbe respective houses. They were all happier for the mnsio; refreshed, tbe better to perform their reapective duties.
Then, we felt how much good a real haerty langh would do one. It keeps Ufe from drag¬ ging, saves the noind from vague, distracting apprehensions, and the irritation of positive low spirits.
Let us laugh, whether or not we grow fat.

"Hy Kother never told me a Lie."
Mother f oan your child aay that f Happy are you, tben; yonr child baa no conception of exoeUenoe above yonra, if yonr words lo him have been nnlformly truthfnl. He bas perfect confidence in yon.
Wheu a child looks to his mother aa the embodiment of love and truth, he ia safe; and ahe is a bleaaed mother and a trae woman.
But if the mother haa in auy way cheated tbe child, diaguised tbe trntb, or perverted it, he will learn It, and from ber own eyea and Ups, loo; then her Influence is no longer snre, nor ia it safe. He ought to dlatrust her, and he will do it.
The child's noiae vexed ber, and to still him ahe made a Ught promiae, never afterward thought of. Or he was cowardly, andto in¬ spire him with conrage she said what he af¬ terward learned waa false. Or he waa lazy, and to induce him to do as sbe wished, she promised large reward for tbe service, which promise she waa unable .to redeem.
Be oantioua how yon promiae.
He waa irritated and disob^ient, and to restrain him she threatened to punish him tbe next time this ahonld occur. But wben tbe next time came she could rot punish, be¬ cause tbe mother in her heart ao fllled it up.
Never threaten.
.If puuishment comes let it come naturally as an effeot of bis condnct, not as an arbitrary aff£ur. But whatever else may oome to your ohildren, never let a lie come to them from your Ups.
It is further to be noted that the position of a commissiouer representing a larger cod - stitueuoy, embracing a wider range of inter¬ ests and more weighty responsibilities, en¬ ables him to exert a greater inflnence npon the popnlar sentiment of the community, and thus more effectually to labor for the promotion of educational interefitii, thau a subordinate officer can do.
Objections lo the aystem of supervision by Assembly district commissioners c.onsid»irM<l. 1st. That it is Tnore expensive. It is im¬ possible positively lo substantiate this affir¬ mation, for the reason that the expense of town supervlaion can nut he wall detertuiued. But if we grant that the present system does oost more in dollars and cents, we fiod tbat the expenae ia to a very great extent borne by the fund set apart for the educational par¬ poaes, BO that to tbe tax payer the present system is a positive advautage, tbey being aaaeased now only ons bandred dollar^} in the Assembly diatriot, wbare they were formally assessed more than balf that amount in each town. Still we are disposed to regard the difference In tbe expenae as inconsiderable, indeed as inappreciable, and challenge the champions of the old ayatem to show that it was leaa expensive.
But if it be grauted again, tbat the expense of tbe present system ia greater tban tbat of the old, it haviug beeu showu tbat thi-s ex pense does not fall upon the tax payer, but upon the school fund, it may be urged that by ao much then do the patrous of the fichool auffer loas in btting deprived uf that whiuh should go to the support of the schuul. But it must be borne iu mind that the commission¬ er sustains a relatlou to each scbool, to its prosperity, to Ita advancemeut, as clear and well deflned, thougb not so intimate as the teaoher; tbe teacher doea not do tbe learu¬ iug ; be guides the mind of the pupil in the pathway up tbe mouut of truth; he doea uot smooth the way, but teachea how the rugged- uess is to be overcome. He is tbe guide, the interpreter, the aid, the counselor of the young; ao the commiasioner is the guide, tbe director, instructor, advisor of the teachers uuder his supervision. This relation is as indiapensible to the snccessfal working of onr ¦cbool system, as that of the teacher itself; hence, that the scbool fund ahould pay fair proportion of the expense thus iucurred ia but reasonable.
Nor ia the actual expense incurred a mat¬ ter of any cousiderable moment. The ques¬ tion relatea aolely to the efficiency of the ays- tem npon whioh the expenae i^ laviahed.— To foster a naeiess system, the least amount expended is waatefal extravagance, while tbe atate of New York is abundantly able to pay auy Bum, however great, provided it be ne¬ cesaary to insure a thorough, iuteUigent and elTective snperviaiou of hur scbools.
Bat thougb a large apace has been devoted to establiabing the fact, that in puint of effic¬ iency, the commissioner syatem is vastly aa¬ perlor to the town superintendency, wo are aware that the opposite tbeory is advanced by the enemies of the present system, and hence, we come to examine objections.
2d. Tbat tbe commissioner aystem is less efficient than tbe old syatem. That this may be apparently so, is likely enough; but that it ia only iu appearance, aud the cause uf that appearance can be easily shown.
Io mauy places inefficient men have been elected to the office of commissioner. That is not the fault of tbe office, but uf the peo¬ ple. It may be a good argument for iuve:itl- gation of the School Department a more sum¬ mary power of removal, but is no argument against the nature of tbe office. Nor do we believe, iudeed, that the proporlion of ineffic¬ ient commiasioners nearly equala the propor¬ tion of inefficient town anperintendenta for¬ merly elected.
It occasionally did happen, thougb very rarely, that a worthy, capable iutelligent mau, could be fouud to take the office of town su¬ perintendent—one who performed the duties uf the office, not for bire, but from his devo¬ tiou to tbe cause of popular education, and who kept raliu between hia eervicea aud ciiarges, aud whose bills would not be more than half or a fourth of what he might have charged. It is unnatural that tbe people of a towu so peculiarly favored, shonld regard a a change to thepresent system as unfavorable fur the amouut of work douo in tbeir tuwu may be really mucb less than was perfurmed hy their town superintendent. But it must be remembered that these instauces are very rare, and afford little or no grouud fur argu¬ ment against tbe general working of the sys¬ tem in thestate.
But tbo complaint couceruing the relative efficiency of tho two systems, is founded, as we thiuk, on a very prevalent misapprehen¬ sion uf what consiitutes an efficientsupervis- ion. We have already advauced our ideaa upou it, but It may uot be out of placo to re¬ peat tbem in this immediate connection. It is an error to suppose that tbe efficiency of any supervision is to be measured solely, or eveu chiefly, by the namber of visitations made. While it is desirable that visitations sbould be made witb sufficient frequency to prevent the interests of the school from fal¬ ling wholly into neglect, it is to be borne iu mind that the good to be wrought ia not spe¬ cifically bylhe presence of tbe commiasioner, operating aa a spell upon tbe school, but in¬ directly, by awakening the interests of pa- rants, the zeal aud energies of tbe teacher.-— Too frequent visitations would at leugth make the whole affair too common, tame, and iu¬ aipid. So, too, where the visitation of a scbool baa beeu once made, the commissioner haa become informed of its condition, of the fea¬ tures in its managemeut that are meritorious, aa well aa those that are censurable ; he does nol need to visit that school agaiu, in a week, or a montb, in order to know ofits conditiou. If everything is prospering, if he finds that the teacher underatanda bis business, is fully competent for his position, he kuows tbat he wants no watching, bnt^ can be trusted to conduct his school with little supervtaiou.— Those whom he was to copnsel or advice should be left to carry into practice bis sug¬ gestions, and as a marked improvement must bo the work of time, it is well to leave such to work out their own reform. Only tbe poorest and most inefficient,' those too weak minded to profit by auy advice, ueed frequent looking after; and these, the capable com¬ miasioner will soon strike off from bis list.
Aait ia chiefly tbrough the teachers that the commissioner can reach the school, the mora direct aud constant the intercourse be¬ tween them, the more authoritative the rela¬ tion of the latter to the former, the more effic¬ ient aud thorongh will be any supervision based upon those relations. It is not the frequency of tbe visitations, therefore, but the conditions attending the visitatious, ma¬ king it effective aud salutary, tbatdotermines the value of any supervision.
The fact, therefore, tbat the iDbabitants see less, and bear less of the commissioner than they did of the town superintendent, ar¬ gues nothing concerning the trae worth of theirrespective services. Tbat tbey aro not aituated so as to run to him on^every possible occasion or pretext. Tbey are tbus left rely, in aome measare, upon themselves- cousideration as important in our school pol¬ ioy, as that of supervision itself.
3d. Another objection to the present ays¬ tem is the inconvenience to the teacher of se¬ curing an examinatiou for license.
Tbia diffionlty ia for tbe moat part au im¬ aginary one. Where it ia otherwise, it is owing to the neglect of tbe commissioner, and is ground for his removal, not au argu¬ ment against his office.
Tbat teachers, under this system, mnst ex¬ ert themselves somewhat to aecare a license, we admit. It enforces upon tbem the ueces¬ sity of seeking the occasion iu which to be examined. It renders higbly desireable, we wiah it were imperative, an attendaoceat tbe teachers' institute, examination, couveution, or drill, where the commissioner is known to be in attendence, ^ud whoae estimate of a teaeher'a wortb will be partly formed from the'effort made to attend tbeae gatheringa.— It is well that tbe gateway opening into tbe teacher's profeaaion be not too wide; by im- imposin^ aome obatacles in the way, requi¬ ring somo aelf-aacrifice, tbe listless and iudiff¬ erent are kept back, aud the way left the more olear for the earnest and resolute work-
clnsion the committee would say, that tbey are deoldedly in favor of the present sohool commissioner system, as having advantages over the old auperiutendent syatem aufficient to retain it at least for farther trial It has not been tried sufficiently loag, to fully see and ascertain all ita beneflta. For tbe various reasons given in tbla report, we eameatly re¬ commend that tbe bill now before the House, to abolish the office of school commissioner, which yonr committee was ijstructed the Hoasa to introduce, he defeated.

Opportunity is given to all who desire to be examined; where any fail it is owing to their own indifference or neglect, and sncb have DO jost place in the teacher's profession no claim npon any one's sympatby. See Commissioners, appended to Superintend¬ ent's Eeport.
Finally, the office of school commisaioner afiords a vaatly better medium of communi¬ cation between the schoola and the Depart¬ ment, than does that of town superintendent.
The importance of this consideration can hardly be over estimated. Tbe Department, through the commissioner, with whom it is in frequent correspondence, is brought more directly in contact with tbe sohools; can ex¬ ert a more direot inflaence upon the teachers as a body; oan co-operate with the commis¬ sioners in the adoption and enforcement of plane of improvement. Under the old sys¬ tem there was no valaable medium of inter¬ course between the Department and the sohools; indeed, under that mode of supervi-
