His -was a aisappointed life, I have heart!'people Bay; but I; who lived with hlm'&om.the beglnhlng.to the end' bf it, caii assert that It was' not a disap- 'polnted life nor an unhappy one.; Cer- ' tainly nbt^ 'iVhafcan a .mail want to see inore iii this world than the acqomr
glishmeritof his plans,'for whloh he as toiled early and late, expending on them all hia youth, hope, health, and enetigy?   That othera' pfo'fiteil by his Inventions, and grew rich on' them, while h^remaih^a poor, neglected, and obscureLls a mere, aeodndairy cpnBlder- . atibn.'. It was his .work that he looked .  tb, and hot any possible rewards that It 'might bring him: and as he brpught his woi'k to a fair'completion, and did bis share ofgood in his day and gener¬ ation, he had no right to be dissatisfied ; .and he was not dissatisfied.   I know it . . for. a fact—he has told me so many a time.   .He would say:   "Don'tcom-
f lain, Mary.   Ydu might complain If had failed altogether, biit I have done my work, and that is enough. I declare
.Ifeel a proud man sometimes when I see what grand things ray invention is helping others to do.". I was less easily satisfied for him than lie was for him¬ self, hut.when I saw that murmuring really troubled him, I tried to keep my tonguequiet.
; People cume now and look at his grave under the yew-tree, and go away: and.say tbey have seen it; and that is .all,the honor and profit,my brother, Bobert Jansonj ever reaped from his ¦life's labor.   A year or two back i some
' strangers came and proposed to put up a monument over^ his grave; but I "Warned tbem not to^ meddle "with it as longas I lived. 'He would have been an old man'now; but he diedat thirty-, seven ; young, certainly—I grant that, and poor; because iu his last broken- down years I had to support hlid—but
. not. disapivdinted. He would never allow it llvirig, and I wlll not allow It since ie is dead.   His was not a disap-
' pointed life. Itwill donooneauyharm to tell, hia story now | and It will give ho one any palu. I am the only person left In the world who ever had any in¬ terest in him.
¦We wer.e a large family altogether, living in.the farinhbuse at Alsler: my grandfather  and    grandmother,    my , father and mother, Aunt Anna, and V five children. . This periodj of course, dates as far hack OS I can remember.   I was the eldest, and Robert was  the youngest.    The others were Charles, who succeeded to the farm—Mark, who enlisted for a soldier,' ind' 'was; wo be¬ lieved,- but were • never sure* killed— and John, wbodied'a boy. ¦ 'Wegotour flrst schooling in the -village; reading, writing, oypherlng, and nothing more thftt I CHU call to mind. Itwas thought ; learning enough in t-liose days amongst .n.the yeomen class of farmers to which .. -we belonged.   From quit* a little one, . r. Bobert seemed different from the rest
¦ .of-us, iiWho. were- homely, contented folks,:and .everybody hut my mother
.   and n^e-rAunt Anna especiaUy—made
.:,apbint,of, discouraging, his studious
.':: ways and ridiculing his fancies.   Per-
:,haps.therewas no greater trial in his
jnuch-tried life, than the consciousness
:   that his o.wn.faDiiiy had no.faith In
.   hlm. Xobody but we two had patience
witbL him.r His grandfather, father and
brothers, regarded Mm as. a fool and
... idle n!er-d6-well. .
¦I-yery,well remember his asking my I grandfather.one night,."Hav6 you ever ;: been.to the city,' grajidfatherj ur seen '¦ ¦ any,.of-the great steamships and manu¬ factories?!! ,.And 'vNo, thank Qod!'?
- . was the fervent ans wer. This emphatic
thanksgiving; might be.'regaxdea as an .epitome of the famlly.sentlnientB: the 'gratitude of'our elders for similar bless¬ ings j»as hourly expressed.  They'were -..stronghpldE ofT'prejuaioe, and it-was as , difficult to effect a change or introduce ;> aClmprovemeut amongst them, as Uis ',,. to overturn the fixed idea of a mono- ". maniac,.   They had all,  except my ,1 mother, been born in Alsterdafe, and ,.',...had vegetated there contentedly.in un¬ impeachable respectability, never trav-
¦ elliogmorethan a dozen miles frora '  home; there they would die, and there
be buried in a good old age. They were - proud, too, aha that with the most im- '   -practicable pride; for they: gloried In "their ignorant I prejudices, and would not have excbanged them for > the wls- domof Solomon.

The last generation of the Janson family had produced an unsuccessful poet, whom our grandmother said Botf- ert was like in almost every point. We' hadno personal recollection-of;hiin", because he had died before any of'Us were born, but to my funcyand toBob- ert's,Uncle Paul had beeu heroic! Bob- "ert, always on the watch for Aunt An¬ na's genial moments, now ventured to say:
" I -would rather be o man like Uncle Paul than a farmer, Aunt Anna; this 8eems:such a sluggish iife."
"Trashl" was my aunt's contemptu¬ ous .ejaonliition. " Your Uncle: Paul was a J)bbr, weak creature. "VVhat good ever cameof his philanthropy and book writing? If he had takeu the Little Ings ITarm that you are to haye, he mighthave been aiive now, and worth money. Instead of Ij'ing iu Alsterdale churchyard. Poor Paul had a good heart, hut not the spirit of' a mouse j don't ynu take him for your model, Robert, if you don't wont to cpme to his end." '
'f Mr. Tate showed me a book of his, and said be was uot only a fine genius, but a pious, devoted, and truly admira¬ ble man."
"Learn to appreciate the relative value of things, and have an opinion of your own. Are you to receive as gos- pel-every word old Tate says? Jiistlet me state the case to you." Aunt Anna dropped basket aud scissors, as she rose erect in her oratorical attitude. "Yonr father and Paul, when lhey came of age, got each somo money under their grandfather's will. Marmaduke kept to his farming, but Paul gathered- his substance "together like the prodigal son, and went and spent it—not in riot¬ ous living, certaiuly, but to jiist as lit¬ tle pnrpose—among felons In jails and paupers in hospitals. Then he must needs publish to the world a host of abuses that he had discovered; and make himself enemies; so, all his flne schemes came to naught, .and he died as much from heart-break as neglect."
"No, Aunt Anna; his schemes;have not come to naugnt; for what he be¬ gan, other people have taken up and finished.   Dr. Monson says so."'
"Don't be Dr. Anybody's m'outh- pieoe; give me your words or hone," rejoined my aunt, stooping tb her task again.
" They are my words, too."
""Very silly ones they are, then. I don't want to see any of you' wiser, or better men than your father or grand¬ father before you. They have always been respected, and Paul was more laughed at tban any thing else."
People don't laugh at him now. They honor him."
"Lip-worship. "What is it worth, when he has been dead these thirty years? Hewouidhaveatorvedtodeath, ifyour father had not fetched him home. What is the good of looking at a man's grave ? He is a warning, not ah exam¬ ple, nephew Robert."
" Was he happy. Aunt Anna ?'.'
. "Happy? I can't teU. He said to me, the night before be died, that no- oody should take the post of an alpostie of reform whose heart was hot pre-
Sared for martyrdom. He did hope to 0 good at flrst, and hope kept him np while It lasted; but he-bad not pith enough: he was soon woru' out."
The camomile gathering was over, aud with a retrospective sigh to.the memory of her brother. Aunt Anna took up her basket and went Into the house. Robert and I, after strolling a few minutes longer in the garden,passed through the wicket-gate and across the bridge, to the church, which : st3od about flve hundred yards offon the hill¬ side. There were, and are, ogreat many yews in the graveyard, and under one Uncle Paul lay with a plain slabof the graystoneoverhim, inscribed only with his name and age. (My brother Rob¬ ert's grave is to the right of,it, only inarked by a low head stone). . "We sat down on Uncle Paul's grave, and be¬ gan to talk abdiit him. "We both ad¬ mired him sincerely. As I remembeir my brother Eobert in his boyhood; he was slight and tall, with a great fore¬ head and bushy brown hair; his eyes were-blue and his skin brown; he had what one would call a fine countenance. His temper was cheerful and kind; and with Uncle Paul's love of true and beautiful things, he had a character :Of more muscle and force. I always loved Eobert the beat of my brothers, 'and s;^mpathized with his dislike to onr tor¬ pid state of existence, ^ut what oould we do against the reat 7 .

From' fourleen to eighteen Eobert went on fretting, fldgetlingi and work¬ ing alternately, until oneday therewas a rumor of a grand new bridge to be built over the Alster about elveh miles

Months went on, yeats went on; and Eobert was ^wenty-five, with, his idea still u'nwroaght out. In' the 'midst of his hard toll and absorbing thoughts I wasgladthat he StiU kept his klndj warm', manly heart. Thereis a short bit in his story.'that I must leave jout-:;- tbataboiit BosieKirwan. Hermother was a hear, neighbor of oura,. .Miii we had made "itcquaihtances ih bu,r, jwalks:, Bosle came to teai'with iiie sbmetliiifeEi; and that was the way she'' and'' Bobert icamb, first to know, and'afterwards to love, each other. Bosle -waanot so pretr ty as sbe was besh-lookingT-tfresh as a May morhing in Als^erdalerOras a half- blown rose; a tall girl,'straight and strong; with a round waist aiid a^roat' white and smooth as a marble figure'; a firm step, a quick -eye, and-rather « breezy temper. Iliked her very mnoh; she was a frank, honest, .seiisiblel girl, and her mother had brought, her up well.
They came to an agreement between: themselves soon, and it was really a pleaaantsight tosee Bobert at bisiwbrk. and Bosle leaning over, him, bending, her fine brows and setUng her lips firiq In a conscientious eudeavor to take it. all in, and then giving me a quick lit- tle.glance across the table, as much as tosay; "I can't understand itohejblti"-
Hn.'Kirwui was satisfied with the engagement, though Idid not qiilte ap^:
§rove of her way of speaking oft it-r, he said, " It is always a good specnlar tion for a girl to marry a young mah.of talent and energy, though he may hot be rich; he ia almost sure to makelsome way in the world. I must confess that I should not let Bosle throw herself away on anybody; and^ }f Robert gets forward-aa he promises to do, I shall be glad to let him have her. She is a gobd girl."
'   The young things made no calcula¬ tions, being contont,-apparently, with the present time of loviug each other. VI. ¦¦.-.¦ i   I
At last the day came when Robert walked into my parlor one night and said, "It is done, Mary." His face was all alight with pride and satisfac¬ tion, for Eosie was there, and, when he spoke, she marched straight iip-to him, and gave him a kiss. VI nrom- ised I would; Mary;" said she, blush¬ ing like arose; " I promised him six months ago;" aud the shame^face'd girl looked as if ahe had done wrong, whereas-Bobert Vowed she had; been> bard as flint, and that was the very flrst time she haii suffered their ilps to meet. "Then it is a kiss for luck," said I; and Rosle was as still as a mouse all the evening after.
We had to heat about his snccess now. It was a grand invention''we knew then, and all the world knows it no w; but, there were many things to be done before Robert was to be made a man by it. I believe people are no more ready now than they were then to adopt new systems; but it had been submit¬ ted to a number of men, both scleiitlflc and practical, and tbey all prohbiinced It the finest invention of the agel He must getit patented; he must d(^ this, he must do that, he must do tbe other.

W'e arrived at Cuie Town on a Sunday, and the plape lobked dull, deserted, and. dried up. ! My Engiisb nurse was- vrith difficulty kept from minting' atthe sight of the scsntUy- draped. black people who surrounded OS on:landing. Notbing, however, was so effectual in bringing her to. aa the appearance of the British poUceman in aU the liitogrlty.of his tight but¬ toned coatee, uhcomprbmlsing stock and glazed'hat. Her lively fears of be¬ iiig carrled'off and eaten alive by naked KalHia were stilled asshe gazed on this well-knownembodlment of British or:. der,:marohlng slowly in firontof us as we took.our way to the hotel. 'Here'we" inade the"iicquaintance of the mosquito and cockroach, and re- hewed'oar intimacy with the common black fiy,-'the latter covering tables, chairs, windows, and every artlole in the rooms with the tiiickness of an Egyptian plague. After enjoying the luxuries of warm baths, large bedrooms, andBtroh(^ tea,with fresh milk In it, we aU looked and and felt more like civll- Izefd beings. The captain and the pas- tisengers for India came on shore with us, snd put up atone hotel, so that for the few days the sliip was to remain at the pape we were all together muob in the same way as" we had been on board. A change for the better, however, might have been noticed in our manners, par- tloulatly at - the dinner-tehle. At the foar-o!clook banquets on the old ship, every, one's aim seemed to be to get helped first and to the best dishes, and the e^er greediness displayed was ex- triordlhary. The rapidity with which tbe dessert would vanish was reaUy a sight worth seeing. It was like the trick of a conjuror. So many dishes fuU of dried fruits, oranges, nuts, and biscuits placed on the table: a clap of the hand, a hey, presto! and they were all empty.
At the hotel we behaved better.' Tbe ladles were served firat, and we could wait for anydish we particularly fan¬ cied, without becoming red with au¬ ger or pale with fear lest ita contents should be all gone before It reached us. Otherwise the captain headed the long table'ih this hotel coffee-room, and iiiade'thci saine execrable jokes, ate tbe same awful amount of red pepper, and told'the same stories iUustratlve of bis ownsharpness.and the impossibility of any',passenger ever teking him in, just as he wasiu the habit of doing when sitting at the top of 'the saloon tables.

This charge was Indeed no light one; for the young lady was frisky as.well as pretty and amiable, and possessed by an irrepreaaible pas¬ sion foi admiration.   It did not.seem much matter who it was: she could em¬ ploy her fascinations with the same zest &nd enjoyment on the plainest and lowest.(as regards rank) or tbe ship's officers as on the best looking and most agreeable of the male passengers.   She would play off A against B, C as^inat A, D againat C, and ao on, through the entire alphabet,—conduct which made the aiint of the sister Speculation look at'ber niece with an expression whicb said plainly, "What a terrible example ioe you, my dear IIttie Innocent!"

He was now returning to the scenes of his beloved sport, armed with a whole battery of ;rlfles, which' he; was never tired of cluing and exhibiting. In'- deed, his care and tenderness for them were quiteniaternal; ohenlght he took a delicate one Into bed with bim, be¬ cause he thought the air was too damp for.it. He waa not uiueh witb us on shore, as he could not remain long away firom bis darUngs.    '
Duringthe day ire separated intb par-' ties; and inade exburalons to the few. places worth seeing near Cape Town,-^.'| the vineyards of Constontia, Simon's Bay; and the romantic drive round the Kioof Mountain,—or we visited the museum and the gardens. Then; after we bad been photographed and bad purchased skins and feathers, the amusements of Cape Town were ex¬ hausted.
The last day bad come, and the Joan of Aro was to leave Table Bay at two •o'clock in ihe afternoon. The captoin made a hasty breakfast, and before leav¬ ing the hotel asked us to bave luncheon on board, and iee the last of the old ship,—an invltotlon we very gladly ac¬ cepted. A large four-oared private boat was kindly placed at our disposal by a gentleman at Cape Town,: and after a pleasant row in the bay we found ourr selves once again on the flne, broad quarter-deck of the Joan of Arc.
It seemed like returning hbme; and as aU the pleasant memories of the past six weeks rushed to njy mind, I could not help wishing that Oalcutto and not Cape Town bad been c>Hr destination. We had a capital lunch, soon after which the captain came to tell us they were going to weigh anchor, and to es¬ cort me to the side, where our boat w.is waiting to toke us ashore. I pass over the parting with our friends. Those who have never made a long sea-voy¬ age would most likely wonder at the feelings of intimacy and friendship with which we regarded some of those who; but a few weeks before, had been strangers to us. I felt strangely d reary as eaeh stroke of the oats took us furth¬ er away from tbe old ship and all be¬ longing to'It, and I gazed at Table Mountain and the white,; apparently roofless houses of Cape Town with un¬ reasonable aversion.
"We had nearly leached the shore, when my husband looked roand the boat as if he missed something. "What is it?" lasked. " I don't see my umbrella," was the answer. " I gave it to you, did I not? on board ship; audi don't remember seeing It afterwards."
"Yes, I had It," Ireturned after a moment's thought; '^I must. have left It In the captain's cabin when Iwas consoling poor Miss Green."' ' Now, if my nusband have a weak¬ ness it is for hlB.umbreUa. He will lose many a iaore valuable article With equanimity and resignation;, but de- prlvehim of his umbrella, and you de¬ prive bim at once of aU his powers of manly fortitude and endurance. Wives generaUy know and humor; theirbus- banda' weaknesses; -and I said with an: air of cbhcei-n, "You "must go' back for it." He stood for ai mbment Irresolute. For *lfe or ,baby he might not' have I tiirnisd back;,but his umftrelfa,—thiit silent friend, whose; trim make, well- fashioned joints, and sUver band, with its owner's, name neatly engraven thereon, seemed to Unk him stUi with the shady Bide of pleasant PaU MaU! ACape umbreUa! Gtood heavens! A shudder ran through his frame as he thoughtof tbat'coarse stunted carica¬ ture of ;his beloved compisinlon. TSo, the boat must be turned,—a. laat effort made. So the.words came sharply froiA hislips:i"ln, bow,,and up with that mast,-backwater,' starboard; how in, all, and let that sheet out ,¦'^ and before I knew we hod "gone about," bur boat was sklminihg the bay before a deUght- ful breeze oft shore.
"We had sailed but a short dlstonce, when one of our blaok crew said, look¬ ing at the ateamer, " She move—she under weigh.!'  It was true,—her steam was up, aud she was gliding slowly to^ wards the mouth of tbe bay.   Dilfieul¬ ty adds a wet to all human pursuit- No thought of giving up entered my husband's mind, though; as I remem¬ bered  the  constant asseverations   of the captain as to never having been done in his life, either by crew or pas¬ senger, I felt bow unUkely it was, that he would stop his ship for us.   "We were, however, going faster than the steamer, and soon gained ou her suf¬ flciently to make those on board aware ofour Intention.   We now waved our pocket-handkerchiefs, and made im¬ ploring signals to tbem to stop; but thbugh ourproceedings seemed to cause some commotion among the  passen¬ gers, they did not appear to disturb the Stony heart of the captain, for the ves¬ sel continued Its course with impertur¬ bable Indifference.   It now became a trial of,who should give in.   Wilh re¬ newed vigor we waved, implored, and shouted.   At last, when, all hope was over, as we thought, we saw the chief officer (always a great friend of ours) walk to the captain, wbo, wap on the ship's bridge, and remain in consiUto- tion with him.. Kvldently they were considering tbe;prbpriety of stopping the vessel.  Thecaptain shook bis head, —the:chief, officer "expostulated,—the passengers' exeiteniehtliicreased.  But we had gained.the, day,—:the graceful movements of the.'vessel beciime slow¬ er and slower, ahdi^we' were soon en¬ abled to riin undeiihe iiccbmmodatlon ladder, wliioh bad'iibt yet bisen hoisted in,.and from'the.bottom bf which our :frlend the chief officer Inquired, amidst abreathless iUei;be,j>y^ac' we wiahfed.

'M suppose nobody wUl doubt," be'says, "ifa negro painter was'to paint tbe gbddess of beauty, that he would re^resdnt,her black,iwith thick Ups, flat nose,; and woolly hair; and it seems to rhe'thiU .he.would act very phatiirally if he did' not ¦; for what criterion will any opedlspate his idea?" There seems to be nb absolute stond: ard'of nasal beauty. iTfae:BomahB were proiid-of their stem :and portentlbns aqiiallnes; -and^'the- Israelites -would probably hot' be content'-to lose tba BihitUest tip of their' redundant beaks. The Tartora, having hb; ubses.to speak of, affect to consider the deflclency'a beaiity; -Thb'wire of Jgnghls Khan was esteemed the most charming womau iu all, Tartary because she only had two boles where her nose shpuld havb been.
The pecnliar form of the nose seems in fact to have but Uttle influence upon our likes and dislikes. Mlrabeau; who had a nbse'its wide-spread as a' Hotten¬ tot, andGlbbbii; and WUkes, whose no- sea were reduced to barely'perceptible 'anubs,'were,very successful suitors of the female sex. The, turh-iip hose can¬ not be justifled by any principle of taste, and yet the ttez retrousse, by which French appellation we ate fond of dig¬ nifying the pug, isso far'from dimln- itihlng thatit seems to inorease the ad- inlrauoh "of man'-for the woman who- possesties'It. No heroine'of a modern uo'Tel "a'ppbars comolete without the nei retrousse, and Madame Du Barri, the cbmmon town courtesan, owes to ic her place in history by the side of tbe worthless Louis :X.V. .
The nose,.as Is well known, is tbe or¬ gan of emeu.  For this pnrpose Itisen- dowed with a pair of nerves caUed the olfactbry, whose abounding filaments pierce the many holes and cover the multiple surfecA.of the light and por¬ ous structure termed the spongy bone, which Ues at the root ofeach nostril. This pecuUar organization la with the object of giving free entrance to the air, through tbe.medlum of which odor is conveyed to the nerve, In which tbe seiise of Smell resides.   The actof smell¬ ing is performed by closing the 'mouth and  breathing through the  nostrils, which expand to the bdordiis gale -which thus enters and is dlfused through ev¬ ery opening and over eaoh surfiice. of the bone where the nerve peneti-atea and expands ite closely woven net of threads.    Man is naturaUy endowed with an acute sense of smell, but its power can be greatly increased or di¬ minished by art.   'Those whose voca¬ tion is among stenches become by prac¬ ticed indifference alfnost regardless of them ; and others, whose business re¬ quires a discriminating nicety of the sense, obtaiu by studied attention to a marvelous acuteness of smell. . Tbere was a nightman in Berlin who declared that he was not sensible ofthe intensesc smell of his odoriferous occu¬ pation.    On the'examination of his body after death no olfactory  nerve was found.   "Wbetber tbis was an orig¬ inal defect, or only the result of a long and resolute disuse ofhis sense of smell, could not be determined.   Nature or >art made him tbe right man, for the right place.   The dog and a some otber animals have a much actuer sense of smell than man, ahd we accordingly find In them larger olfactory nerves and more extensive, poros, and convoluted spongy bones for the exposure of their filaments to the <idorous breath of th air.   A dog by the sense. of smell will trace and nose out his inaster in the' most multitudiuous crowd. This proves not only the acuteness of the smelling' power of the animal, but establisSts the fact that each man, as well as every race of men, has a peculiar odor.
Most nations, not content with the sweet odors that Natnre so bountifully "euppUes, resort to'artiflcbit sources.— The most refined people however, avoid as mucb as poasible personal perfumes, and hold that tbe absence of all odors isthe best savor'of human comiiiunl- on. They agree with the Lord Bacon that the '.' breath of flowera is far sweets er in the air, where it comes and goes, like the warbling' of music, than in the hahd;'" Those' of nice taste eschew all perfbmes but those which are evan¬ escent, such Bs.Cologne and the like.— It is a oiirious fact that the eai( c2e <2>- ¦ "   - - iSj

'! Oh, ¦ mamma,; I. am ¦ so very, very miserable. I cannbt go, back" .to that schbdi, for I never, never can kek that girl again without bating her. Lbtme stay at home with you, and be .once more good and happy." .   1 ' ¦,
" Kitty," said her mothersadiy,'"tUl you can tell me yourstory withontpas- sidn, sit' down' and think over' >vhat you havejust said: tliat the sight of tills person,.who has )n some way in¬ jured you, should flll you v{ith' hate. Oh, my daughter, how you grieye fne!"
" Come, Klt,^' said Fred, " let's ^hear who the giri'was'and what Bhe:'dld to you, and If you .oan't, love her, iwhy you muat do the other, thing,. that's ail." " ;      ',
"Ah, Fred," sobbed Kitty, "that's poor advice to give me. It's very easy to.do ' the other thing,' but so hard to do the right thing, where . one's, heart is all wrong. It was wicked in 'me to say I hated her, for I hope, yes,' I'm
a uite sure it iaa!t ao bad as that; but I o dislike her more than I ever tbought It possible to.dislike a peraon."
" Now, my daughter," said Mrs. f'er- rls, " tell me your trouble, and let us see if It can't be remedied."
" "Well, mamma," began Kitty, ."you know, orrather you don't know,: that there's a girl in our achool named Alice Hamilton, who is very proud and haughty. She sings arid plays beauti¬ fully, and she is praised so much for it thatshe is very vain, and thinks there is nobody in the aohooVas gdod.as she. She tokea. delight in baUing me 'little Kitty'and aU sorts of pet names, child¬ ish and babyish names, you know, be¬ cause she thinks it teases me."
"My dear said her mother,'"you have forgotten that our Lord said to his disciples, ' Except ye become as a little child, ye cannbt enter the kingdom of heaven.' What can you aspire to that isso beautiful, as the soul of aUlttle child, fresh, pure and unsulUed by the dark spots'of sin."
" Yes, mother, but you did not hear the rest of it. I om, as you know, very sensitive at being so small of my age, and one day she said, as if talking to herself, ' Yea, little Kitty, little in stat¬ ure and little In brains. Spell baker, pussy-cat.'!'  .
"Shovel and tonga!" interrupted Fred ; " why didn't you pitoh intffher and give fight? I only wish I'd been therl."
" And I, Fred," said his aunt, " am very glad that you were not there, un¬ less you could have ruled your fiery spirit and gone equipped as a Christiun soldier, whose only weapon is the sword of the Spirit, and whose armor Is knit together by the strong Unks of charity. Ah, Fred, I'm afraid you wont make a very valiant soldier tili you have the helmet of salvation." Fred hung his head, and went ou with his printing.
" Then, mamma," Kitty continued, " I, well, to tell the truth, I was angry, audi said, 'I would much rather be little iu brains than to have my brains so puffed up with pride and selt-cbnceit that nothing else could penetrate, not even a little history.' ' For she had aaid that day in the history class that George Washington wos a Frenchman by birth, who came over to assist the Americans in the war of 1812. Just think, mamma, of'confoundingGeorge Washington with La Fayette,, or the Eevolutiouary War with the war of 1812. The girls aU wanted. tb laugh then, but didn't dare to, for they knew it would ell come back on their own heads. But when I gave her such a hf they were delighted, and clapped their hands.andshouted ' bravo;' butl did not feel as much elated with - my auccess at making her uncomfortoble as I thought I should; and when Miss McLean sent for me the next day, and said she had heard my words and wish¬ ed me to explain them; I felt very mean. After I had told her, ahe said I hod great provocation, ahd she did not blame me; but, mamma, I blamed my¬ self. Since then AUce Hamilton has done nothing but tornient; me. She and I were both drawing a very pretty glen near the bouse, as a Christmas

This seems to confirm the gnspicion that a prfume Is but a mask for an 111 odor, 'The Co¬ logne owes Its well deserved reputotioh to the harmonious mixture bf a variety of essences, chiefly those of lembn, ju¬ niper and roseinary',, so well combined that therb Ib iui 'predbmlh'atlng smell. It Is moreover very, evanescent, and has a spirituous and enliveiiiing scent, which causes it to be used rather, for one's own refreshment than for.the de- leototlon of others.

All intensely adherent smells, such as hiiisk, should be avoid¬ ed.       '

One day I had- been drawing on it in recreation hour, and had left my deak for a few moments to go to lunch. "When I came back I found my beautiful sketoh torn ill small pieces and scattered oh the floor. It was then tob late to attempt another, so I had tbe satisfaction of seeing her hand hers in to Miss Carey, while I had uone to'give. I can't get'over it, mother; I do dislike that giriso that I can't bear: to think of her. I didn't want to soy anything to yqu about it, for I knew you would be so grieved; but my heart is so sorrowful I felt as i i' I could not go away without coming to you for sympathy."
" My poor little daughter" aaid her mother, " yoiir heart is, as you say, all wrong. "Vou sinned at first: in losing your temper, and answering so spite¬ fully, whSn the Injury done you was bbt slight; but how much more, ray darling, have you sinned, in harboring such sinful thoughts; My heart is too full of sorrow to talk to you now. It is time for you to retire, as you will have to toke an early breakfast. Good night, my child, think ofyour Saviour's treat¬ ment of his enemies, and then look within your own heart aud see liow you have followed out the command to 'heap coals offireonan enemy's head.'" Kitty pondered on her mbther's words in' the solitude of her own little room, and in the night watches she made her deoision; that cost her what it would, "coals of fire" should be heaped ia good measure, pressed down and run¬ ning over, on the head of the girl who had been her enemy, who now should be her friend. Hef sleep was sweeter than It had been since the quarrel, and she rose fresh, for ber iourney.     ,
On arriving at school, tired, weary, and a little inclined to be home-sick, she found the long halls deserted, and no sighs of the busy liife nsually seen within Its walls.    In'answer to her questions,, she learned from the matron that but one young latly had returned, and.;tbat young lady wsis Alice Hamil¬ ton!
