TOU FOSIEB'S WI7£.
I had just returned from a two years' stay in Europe, aud wns sauntering down Tremont street, ir. lbe golden September morning, when I saw my old friend, Tom Foster, get out of a horse-car a few steps in advance of me. I knew him In a moment, though we had hardly met sinee we were at Exe¬ ter Academy together, ten years before —room mates and blithe companions until we parted—-I to go to Harvard, and he to enter his fallier'd etore, the well-known bouse of Foster & Co., Pearl street. He was a merry, bearty, practical fellow, clear-skiiiued and ro¬ bust as au Enslisbman, self-reliant and enterprising as New Hampshire birth aud Bostou training could make him. lalways liked bim; but he plunged' into business aud I Into study, aud so, without meauiug it, we had almost lost aight of each otber. He was an only child, aud bis parenis spent llieir summers at tbeir homestead in Greeu- laud, near Portsmouth, and tbeir win¬ ters iu Boston.
As I said, I knew him in a moment. He hsd grown tall and stout, but tbe boy was slill iu bis face, and with a flush of early feeling I sprang forward and caugbt bim by tbe arm: "Tom ! How are you ?" He looked puzzled fora moment,and tbeu, busting Into a laugb, he seized my band in bis strong graip and ex¬ claimed:
"Why, John KaUton! Is this you? Where did you come from ? I'm glad to see you, my boy. Why, I haven't set eyes ou you siuce we made that trip to Baham, In your Freshman year. The trutli is, fatber wasso poorly for a loug time tbeu that I had everything to see to, and felt as if tlie world waa on my shoulders. I did hear, though about your college houors and your going to Germany; and I've often thought of you. Why, Jack, in spite ofyour weight and your beard and your broad shoulders, I can't realize that ten years have .gone since we were at Exeter together. We must talk over old times and new. Wheu did you get back, aud what are your plaus? "I came ye8terd.iy, and sliall stay In tbe city, on aecount of a business mat¬ ter, unlll next Tuesday. Tben I am goiug home."
"Well, now, this Is Saturday, aud you can do nothiug after three o'clock; come and spend Snnday with me in the coun¬ try. I waut to show you my wife.'' "Your wite! Are you married Tom?" "Married nearly a year," said he, with a smile.
- "You don't look very solemn over it."
"Solemn? Ii's the jolliest thing I ever did in my life. Meet me at the Eastern Depot at four o'clock, and I tell you all about it on tbe way down." We partc-dat tbe Winter-street cor¬ ner—be to go to his store, and I to the Parker House.
" How haudsome Boston hasgrowu," said I, glancing at the fine buildings aud tbe Common, beantifulin tbe .Sep¬ tember sun.
"We tbiuk ita nice town," be re¬ plied, speakiug with the moderate words and the perfect assurance of the Bostonlan, lo whom his city ia the sum of all excellence and delight. " Remember, four o'clock." And be disappeared in the crowd.
"Tom married!" I said to myself, as I walked along. "I dare say it's to his father's pretty ward, Clara Maitland, whom I saw when I spent tbe day there, eleven years ago. I remember wbat loug curls she bad and how fond she seemed of him. Yes. I dare uay It's on Clara. I hope, though, ahe hasn't grown up into one of those deli¬ cate young ladies, good for nothing but to display the latest fashions, and wallz a little, and torture the piano. Betler some rosy, sturdy, German Gretchen than a poor doll like. them. It .would be a shame for Tom, with his splendid physique and vigorous bralu, to be.lled fur life to sucb a womaii.' Arid,ihen, tnroingdownSchooUtreet,my thoughts wandered off to a blue-eyed gifl Jihad loved for many a year—a girl "who waa not satisfied with tbe small iri- umpha of the eroquet-^g^ound, but tirho could send an.arro.vi straight boine to the mark;-and climb the hlllgwitfrnie, her step liglit and free aB.U].4^d«ei^ci III the glade below; and boldaa atoBdy. oair: In our boat on the^ rlvetV >n'il wlitf Mboro If need ¦Bhonid,Bej^jiii^i-thlBD
Four o'clock found me at the stallou; and a moment later iu walked Tom,j carryiug a basket filled with Jersey peacbes,
"They don't grow in Greenland," said be, tucking the paper down over the fruit. " Come this way." I followed bim, and we had just seated ourselves comfortably in the car when the train moved oir.
"Now for the slory. Tun," said I' as we crossed the bridge aud caught the bret-zu conl from the sea. But I cau guesa beforehaud llie girl you mar¬ ried. It was Clara Maillanil." A shadow passed over Tom's face. "Clarahas been dead fjur years,"said he. She inherited consumplion from her mother. We did everything forher -i-took her t> Minnesutu and Florida; but it was uo use. Sbe didn't live to see b«r.eigbl«eslU.blrthday."
"Poor Clara! Bhe loved jou dearly. Tlu'ii 1 buppo-e you chose some Boston girl of your aciiuniu auct?"
"Jack, yon couldn't lell who Mrs Tom Fo.>,ti r waa ifyou alioul.l try from now till iiiiiruinir. 1 nliall bave to enlinbl'-n >oii," ami moving the basket t<i nne i^ide and sealiug himself iu his seal, lie went on: "You kuow I have llie misforlune !u be an only child. Aftsr I was twenty- one, faiher and mc began to talk about my marrying. I have plenty of cous¬ ins, you kuow, aud we always had young ladies golug in and out of the hou.se; but while Clara lived she was company for me, and after she had died I was full of business, and didn't trouble myself about matrimony. To tell tbe truth. Jack I didn't fancy the girls. Perhaps I was unfortunate in my acquaiutaucea ; bul they seemed to me all curlsaudHouncesand furbelows, and I would as soon have thought of marrying a fashion plate as one of tbese elaborate creatures. I don't ob- jeottostyle; Ilikeit. Butyoucansee line gowua and bonnets auy day In the Wasbington street windows; and my ideal ofa woman was one wbose dress is ber least attraction."
" Do you recollect father's former partuer, Adam Laue? He's a clever old gentlemau aud a inlllionairo, and fath¬ er bas the greatest liking and respect for him. Ue bas two daughters—one married years agone; and the other, much youuger, faiher fixed upou as. a desirable wife for me. I ratber think the two f.imilies bad talked it over to¬ gether; at auy rale. Miss Matilda came to Greenland for a lung summer visit Bbe an amiable girl, but so petted and spoiled that she's good for nothing-r undeveloped In mind and body. She looked very gay lu the evenings, at¬ tired In Jordan, Marsh <l- Co.'s latest importatioue. But she was always late at breakfast; she didn't dare to ride horseback; she couldn't take a walk without slopping lo rest on every stone; and once, when I asked her If sbehad read the accouut of tbe battle of Sedan, she looked up, iuher childish way, andsaid: 'No, Mr. Foster. News¬ papers ure so tiresome.' Ble&s .me what should I have doue with sucb a baby?"
" A year ago Ibis summer I was very much coufined at lhe store; aud, when August came; iustead of spending tbe whole mouth at home, I thonght I would have a little change, and so I went down for a fortnight to the ClifT
House,   OB Beach.     It'a    a    quiet,
pleasant resort, and you'll always find from fifly to one Iiundred people there during tlie season. The landlord is a good fellow, and a distant relallve of mine. I Ihougbt he looked flurried when I went in, and after a few min¬ utes be look me to one side aud said :
" 'Tom, you've come at an unlucky time. I had a good cook that I got from Boston, at twenty dollara a week; but she's n high-tenipered woman. Last eveuing she quarreled with her assialants, this moruing lbe breakfast was all in confusiou, and now she's packing her trunk lo leave by the uext Iraiu. In two or three days I can prob¬ ably get anotherone down Inber plac?; but what we're to do meanwhile I don't know.'
'"But, Norton,'said I, 'ifin't there some oue nearby or in the house wbo can take it?'
" 'I doubt it.' he replied.. ' I've balf a dozen girls from the vicinity doing up-slairs work—one iif them from yonr towu, the best waiter in lhe dining- room. But I suppose all ofthem would eilher be afraid of the responsibility, or think it beneath them to turn cook, thougb they wouldbaveplenly of help, and earn twenty dollars where they now got three.'
"'Who's here from  Greenland'."   I aaked, for I knew somelhing of almost every one in the place. "•Mary Ly ford.'
" 'Mary Ly ford? A black-eyed, light- fooled girl, about twenty years old,wilb two brothers in Colorado, and her fath¬ er a farmer over toward S'.ratham ?' " 'Yes, the very same.' "Why, she's the prelliesl girl in Greenland—at least, I thought so two yea'rs ago, when I danced with her at the.'i'banksgivlng parly iu the viilage; aud I beard lasl fall that she took the firize at the Mancbealcr Fair for the best loaf of bread. Bul why Is she here?"
"Oh, you know farmers haven't much ready money; and I suppose she wanted to care something for herself ond to come lo the Beach, like tlie resl of us. You say she took the tbe premi¬ um for her bread. I believe I'll go into tbe dining-room and propose to give tbe cook's place to any one of tbe girls who would like It and who feels com¬ petent to take it. I muat do something,' and, looking at the walch, he went out.
Ten minutes later be came back, clapplcg his bands, nnd exclaimed:
" Mary Lyford says she'll try it."
"Huirob for. Greenland," cried I. "Isn't that plucky? By Jove! I hope she'll succeed, aud I believe abe will."
"You musn't expect mucb to-day," said Norton. "Thinga are all topsy¬ turvy In. the kilchen, aud it'll take some time to get tbem straightened out."   •
Juat tben a new iirrlval claimed bis attention, and with a sereuer face he turned away.
"Dinnerwas poor that day; supper was little better;. .And, in spite of Nor¬ ton's cauliou, l!-began to be afraid that Greenland was gojng down.- But tbe next morning, viTittabreaKfastwehad —Iiiloy eteaka, hot poUtoea, delicious Xpi}f|,^^d oojtnibread, griddle oakes that oieltedta your jnbiitb, aud cofl'<le that I'^ci^^-SS?" of tts aroma Jn the mak- rbg.  Thenoeroah every .'niter was a
and .liastebed. to their seats at the first sound of tiie beli. Norton was radiant witb satisfaction, and I was as pleased as If I had been laud- lord or: cook myself. Several times I sent iciy complimentac-iUuI^iiODgnitil- iatioiis to Mary; liul she was so con¬ stanlly. dccupied tbat I never bad a glimpseof her till the nigbt before I was to leave. I was dancing in tbe parlor, aud had just led a youog lady of lhe Matilda Lsne stamp to her mama, when I saw Mary standing with the dining-room girls on tbe piazza. I went out, and, shaking her cordially by the hand, told her how interested I hud been iu ber succesa, aud bowx>roud I was to flnd a Greenland girl so accom¬ plished. She bUisbid, aud thanked ine, and saiJ, in u modest way that she wasvery glad if we were all suited; and then Norlon came up and ex¬ pressed his entire gratification witli wbat sbe had dot e. As sbe stood there in a white pique dress, wilh a scarlet bow ut her thruat, and ber dark hair nently arranged, sbe looked every Inch a lady.
'"Dome llie   fuvor.   Miss  Lyf.rd,' said I, 'lo dance the next cotillion with me.' -   " 'All! Mr. Fo jte I-,' she replied, look-
Ibut iau't  ex-
I, Indignantly, tbe eatablisb- lo   dance, aud
Ing archly at Norton, pf cled of the help.'
"'The 'help!' I sal. 'You are the queen of iiieiil, and I invile jou so lines Mr, Norton.'
" 'Certainly I do,' he answered. 'Go ami show tlie coiup uy lliat you are at home ill the parlt^r as well as tlie kilclii-n.' .i^ >, amiling and blusbiug, she louk my arm.
'"Didn't »e piake » seusaliou when we weut in! Perhaps there was no fellow there witn abetter 'snuial po¬ silion ' (you kuow the phrase) then I; and I had been quite a favorite with the ladies. You should bave seen them wben we took uur places on tbe floor! Bome laughed, some frowned, some whispered to their neighbors; but I paid not the slightest attention lo it all, and Mary looked so pretty, and went through the' dance with such grace aud diguity, Ibat befure it was over I believe all regarded her with ad¬ miralion. I didn't wait for comments, but escorted ber oul as if sbe hnd been belle of Boston.
•" Q:Jod-nigbt, Mias Lyford,' I said, when we reached the llall. 'I am go¬ ing in tbe morning; but I sball see you again when you gel back lo Green¬ land.'
'"Gootl-uight, Mr. Foster,' sbe re¬ plied. 'I thank you for your kind¬ ness.' Then she added, laughiug: 'Have you auy orders for breakfast ?,
'" Why, yes. I should like lo re¬ member you by a plate of such mufllns as we had yesterday.'
'"Y'ou sball have tbem, sir,' ahe said, ua she disappeared in the door¬ way.   Aud have theiu I did.
'Three weeks later .Mary came home to Greenland wilh more lhan a hundred dollars iu her puree and a fame tha was worlh tbouaands. I went to aee her at her father'a bouse. I fouud her every way excellent und lovely; aud (he end was that at Christmas we were married.'
"Glorious!" I exclaimed. "Giveme your haud, Tom! I waa afraid you bad been laken in by some Matilda Lane."
" Do you thiuk I'm a fool ?" said he.
Then I lold hitu of my own choice, and I wjb sllfl talking wben the Iralu slopped al the Greenland station.
We soou arrived at hia hospitable home. His wife wasall behad pictured her, a refined, intelligent, handsome woman, who would develop and grow in attractiveness every year of her life. Aftera merry evening in theirpleasant parlor, I went to bed, and dreamed that the Millennium hail come, and thatall women were like my blue-eyed girl and Mrs. Tom Foster.

"'Good morning, Mr. President—no longer Uncle Abe as before—said be, in a grandiloquent manner; 'I liope you are well and getting ou nicely.'
" 'Oh, yes,' said I; 'we |ioor folks eke out a living after a fa'shion; intending to give him tbe bit in his mouth, for I^ knew what an honest man be was, and how much—I conidn't tell tbem exactly how much, for I bad I'Jst tbe run of him—we were Indebled to him.:
"'Mr. Presidenl, I havecome lo re¬ sign my office.'
Feeliug somewhat as though I had been struck l>y lightning, I managed' toexclaim "Indeed!"
"'Yes; I feel tliat tbere are many uthers deserving of tbe place, and that; it is my.duly'to make way fi'irthem';'
" 'Was there ever sucb an bonest man as that?, said I to myself, chuck¬ ling over my stupidliy on tbe clolhcs, surprise. ' But,' said I, aloud, " I'm afraid you ure not coiusideriig your-; self, frieud Bliofle, and that wlien you go back to preaching you will be as hani up as wlien j'oii came here lliree years ago. Haud't you better hold on a little longer, aay a y:!ar mnre, nnd let us b tb go out of ofllce together?'
" 'No, tbank you, I am goiug to Eu¬ rope during tbat time, but I lope to see you here, as President, when Ire- turn,' and, after a few more kiud ex¬ pressions, off went the Bev. Mr. Shofle.
"About a monlh after, one of tbe reverend gentleman's neighbors paid me a visit, and, among otber things, remarked casually that I bad doue a pretty good thiug for Shofle. 'Yes,' I replied, 'I gave him a $2,000 a year po¬ sition for tbree years.'
"'Besides the balance?' added my visitor. 'Why, if heis wortb a cent, be is wortii to-day $200,ODO, and I can prove it if necessary.'
"What could lhe idiot mean? To satisfy myself of the falsity of the charge, I sent detectives lo where lie lived, and they brought back tbe word that be had made his $2,000 salary in the aggregate yield fully S200;000; hut theu I knew be was an honest man, and there muat be a mistake some¬ where!'
"By the way," added Mr. Liucolu, with oneof bis knowiug winks, "we have plenty of 'Sliofles' left, but the mischief of it is, it is hard finding tbem, and they are not considerate enough to resign, as did our bonest Sliofle."     ^^__
NOBLE BEVENOE.
HOW EEV. MB. SHOFIE QOT EICH.
One of-Mr. Lincoln's Stories, Never Before Fnblished.
"When I lirst eulered upon my duties as President," said Mr. Liucoln, grasp¬ ing our arm in bia peculiar way, witb one of hia loug, bony handa, while he ran his lingers tlirough aud brushed back bis shaggy black hair, "I fully made up my mind to upiioint to office those ouly whom [ kuew to be houest and who had suitable ability. In any event, honesty should he tiie prerequis¬ ite, as the lack of a litlle ability might be easily made up by uu honest mau endeavoring to do bis whole duty con¬ scientiously. While this resolve was fresli upon me, there came to visit me a very old friend, a Baptist minister, who bad traveled so faat that hs had not yet shaken the Illinois real estate off bis capacious boots.
"'Wliy, wbat brings you here, Mr. Shofle?' which was not his name, but will do juat aa weli.
"'Well,' he replied, 'I came down here, firstly, to see you, aud get an old- fashioned shake of the hand; and, sec¬ ondly, lo say that tbe folks of my con¬ gregation are so poor that lhey ean hardly afford me a deceut Ilviug, and I thought maybe you could give me some sort of an office that would pay me belter.'
" 'Certainly,' I anawered quickly, for I knew he was an honest man, and Iwas looking for stock of tbat kind, 'Have ynu iu view any particular offlce ?'
"'No,' eaid lhe Bev. Mr. Shofle, complacently; 'I would not know what lo select if you were to haud me a list lo chouse from.'
" 'Nor I whal lo give you ; but I will lell yon wbo will lielp you out. Yon kuow Colonel Chootsper, of your couuty. He is uow on duty in the Treasury Deparlmeut. Go and see bim; lie is a man of resources, ami will help you out of your difficulty. Come back to-morrow and report.'
"The next day, according to promise, Shofle 'put in an appearance,' and said that the Colonel had recommended him to apply for I certain position in tbe Revenue Department.
" What is the aalary? suid I, sighing in a mechanical way a pile of commis¬ sions.
"' Two tbousand dollars a year.' " ' Well, do you think that enough? I may be able to do betler for yon,' for I knew he was au honest man, and thought he might just as woll as not get a place were be could earn more money.
" 'Ob, plenty. Uncle Abe, for that is more tban double the amount I've been earning for years past "
"Now I began to think," said our mortyrPresident, "thatl would hnve to furce him intoa place paying a lar¬ ger salary, and where the Government would have a corresponding leturn for his valuable services; for t was more than ever (if it were possible) con¬ vinced tbat he waa an honest man; hut I finally concluded to give him his own way, and he was appointed ac¬ cordingly. Off be went rejoicing, but I felt rather mean at my one-hoise gift to my good, bonest, reverend friend.

The baltle was at its lieight, and the huil of leaden balls swept over the plaiu from side to side. All day long the furi¬ ous strife bad raged, charges from either being repulsed again aud again wilh terrible slaughter. Thruugb that fearful day two meu had fought shoul¬ der to shoulder, while the bullets tore through their shattered ranks. No matter on what side they fought, or what armies were engaged, for with (hat we have nothing to do. These young meu bad been like brothers all their lives; but a cloud bad come between them, nnd the trouble was tuis—they loved the same woman, and one of them waa preferred above the other. James Andrews was tbe favor¬ ed one, the tall, iilhe, young soldier, wbo fought on the righl, and Artliur Fenway was the uufurtuuale suitor. Each knew llie oiher's mind, and that they were nol tu each other what tbey bad been. Arthur bad tried to figbt his sorrow down, aud met his frieud, as he ofceu met liim, with a cheery face and ontstretched hand. But, in spite ofall, the thought would come into his mind that, but fur James Andrews, lie might bave been happy, forMona West would have loved hitn. James was sad at heart, and he felt the separation between them growing greater and greater every day, and it was a relief to him wben tne regiment was ordered to advance, aud was plunged into the thickest of the flght. Often in that close fight he felt Ar¬ thur's shoulders pressed bard against bis own, und, lookiug at bim, he only aaw a set, iiard, desperate face and Iiis own heart was hardening, when the word pasaed along the line for the regi¬ ment to form and cbarge.
They were in a corn-field oa the edge of the woodj, and as the word came down, Arthur leaned over and tonched James on tbe arm extending bis band. James knew what be meant by tbat. He had fought a great fight, and had conquered himself, aud wben he gave his hand to James he renounced all hope of Mona.
" Attention ! Rigbt shoulder shift- quick time—march!"
And as tbe last words left the lips of the company officer, tbey went out of tbe corn-field at the "double."
Tbey met foemeu worthy of their sleel, aod after a desperate struggle were beaten back to the corn-field, wUile a regiment of cavalry was form¬ ing for a charge in front. Where was James Andrews? Only Arthur had come back.
The young man cast a wild glance upon the bloody field. W.is James dead? Had be ever wished him dead? He: coold not remember that he bad ever done so; and yel—had he been master of his tbonghts in bi.i own iigony V
As the company fell into line, in the shadow of the trampled coru, be saw James—who was lying upon tlie field, a hundred yards in front—raise liim¬ self upon his elbow, look towards the corn-field and fall back exhausted. He waa alive, tben; he might be saved. Do tills noble heart justice. He never thought of bis own life or tbe danger to himaelf. He would not permit him¬ self to think that if James were tO die he might triumph yet, but he lurned lo the captain:
"Sergeant Andrews is wounded, cap¬ tain.   Let rae save him.   He will be crushed by thecavalry.in tbelrcharge." " It is impo.saible, Fenway!   Tbey are already mounting."
"I will save mm. jf Ifall,it;i.sonly one life lost. See! you shall give no orders. Private Fenway absent^vilh- ont leave."     ; •
Before a hand could bo lined to slay bim, he was out of the corn-Seld, and was running at tbe top of bis speed, towards the wounded man, wbo twice raised himaelf and looked towarda hia comrades. Even as Arthur Fenway ran, he heard the order to the cavalry to mount, and kuew tbat he should be hard pressed; but be held on, and In. a moment more beld bia bid comrade hia arma, and was lunniog ¦ with bim tb.'a.place of safety.', '  ";, ¦'.'

'Half of our couuii'ywonjen, wlio are in oh ronlc misery...abput^ (heir cooks, never stop to'consider that a priueipai catiae ofi'tbVir difflci|Ilies is' their own ignorance of cooking. Tbere exists not incfcitlion a nmre perfectly useless thiug tijiiii liie N.-w York fashionable younglu-iy, and the full force of this fact (irobabiy. only dawns ujion her when site is uiurriid. Wliat a contrast dues she [ireseut to Itiose notable housewives _ wlio were common euough in Ihis counliy a hun¬ dred yeai's ago! We have uot the least, desire to see ladies, whose means euable them lo keep several ser¬ vants^'occupying themselves chiefly witb domestic detaila; but, on tlie other hand, we would have every girl Ibor- oughly initiated in their mysteries. Even in old oounlrles, wliere efficient servants are procured with comparative ease, households are rarely well man¬ aged where the lady of tbe house is ignorantof hoiis.ewiferj'dulies; whilst the most of na know by experience whather ignorance eutails. To know how a dinuer should be cooked, it is not necessary to cook one. There are Ihou-sands of men who never handled saucepan or spit who can tell exactly why a dish is not quite-right.
If, instead of Ibrustingacookiug book into a raw servant girl's band, and ex¬ pecting her will) its assislaucetu send up a diuner, ladies: were lo sit down and explain exactly how the thing should be done, and—praise aud blame with discretion, the efforts of their handmaidens, many amau would have a far belter table, aud persous of mode¬ rate means would be able to entertain a coupleof friends with a decently cooked dinner at home, instead of going to a great expense, by iiaviug the necessary articles from a restaurant. There would be farless trouble about servants among us if tbeir mistress showed a kindly peraonal interest in their welfare.
This especially applies to Irish ser¬ vants, wlio arc peculiarly amenable to pereoiial Influeiicje. There are many persons here who have uot been used to servants in their-youth, and dou't knbwliow: to treat theni. 'They are alternately dislant and familiar, and dreadfully indignant when the servant becomes familiar too. Those who are dignified, considerate, consistent, and flrm, will get on wilh servants here as well as elsewhere. Constant changing generally srgnes pretty nearly as much fault in.mistress as iu maid.

A plclnre hangs againHt the wall,
At which I often gaze; A face so pnre, a form Bp tall— I loved In bygone days.
'-A voice HO low.in ganile tone, '
. .SpealES to me once again ; A flrm iKiad lingers on my own—    . Aod love'and trust remain.
Agaiu I atand 'ittath vine-clad eaves
Beside the open door *. . The in Hiuheams quiver through the leavcF,
.\nil f,Il aslant the floor.    .
They resl npon I he rippliog stream.
And light the waves with flre;
Tiie dislant ehurcliyard marbles gleam, ^Thpy Up the village spire.
The sof. night brerze sways to aud fro
The vine above my head- Then in the churchyard whispers low A requiem for tbe dead.   .
A brea* h of roso and violet'
Is borne upon the air. And mingles with the mignonette
That clustere in my hair.
It genlly touches brow'ahd cheelr.
And lifts my unbound hair;
But whispers—night winds cannot speak— Fall on my listening ear.
The vision passes as I gafe—
Again I Bland atone— The love and trust orother days
With those bright days are flown.   ,
The vine tbat clambers o'er the eaves,. , I watch with trembling heart- As one by one tbe aying.leavos .
Like wttheredfaopes depart.
Tho mooulight falls with colder light
Above the ailent dead; And whispering night-winds tell to-ni^ht
Of joys forever fled.
Of Futlh and Truth forever past—
That fades lis'a dream— Whose memory alone can cast
O'er life a transient gleam.

The quesiion as to whence the me¬ teorites'cpine'is One tbat we are not yet in a poailion. to answer with certainty. The various hypotheses which suppose fpr tiiem au origin in lunar volcanoes, or iu our atmosphere, or again in a de¬ stroyed telluric satellite, or thul would treat theni as fragments ofau original planet of which the asleioiils are parts,, or aa liiaaaes ejecte-l from the sun; all theae hypulheaes seem lo be more or leas precluded by the l:nowu velocities, lbe retrograde motiou so :frcquently. characterizing meteors and meteorites, or else by the chemical conditions that, for instance, are involved in the passage of the meteorite through the sun's chromos¬ phere. Whelher meteorites move or do liot move iu circumsolar orbits is at present impossible to say; because, whiie wilb bur incomplete knowledge we cannot to-day attach the character of periodicity to any kuowu class of meteorites, we are hot justified in founding any conclusion on a negative result with so iituiled a foundation.
But even if all or some of lliem may have beeu, on their encountering the earth; members temporarily cr perma- ueiitly of the solar system, we may with considerable probability cousider them as baying originally entered our system from the interstellar space be¬ yond it. Such at least must be onr con¬ clusion If we are to admit the unlt.v of the whole class of phenomena of metor- itea and ' falling stars. For, since the orbits of the two best known meteoiic streams, those uamely of August aud November, iiave been identified tvith the orbits Of two comets, and since in regard to one of these (that of Novem¬ ber) Leverlerhasshown, with great pro- babilily,'-tliat, as a meteoric cloud, it entered and became a member of our ayatem only some 1700 years ago, iu consequeuceof tbe attraction of Uranus, while the .August meteoric ring only differs in tbiis respect from It, Ihatit had, at a much more remote period, fouud ah elliiilic orbit round tlie sun. We nro constrained ou liic assumption with which wo started to recognize also in a meteorite a visitor from tlie regions of remote space. A nd, so far aait goes, the observation by Secchi that tbe November falling stars exhibit the magnesium lines is in harmony wltii this view.—Pro/esso)' Maskelync, in Popular Science Monihly for No¬ vember.
BEADIIFUL FOBEVER.
We do not know to whom tbe reader ia indebted for the following lines, but think few will read them wiihout pleasure, and that some may profit by the lessou tliey tc ich.
How to be beauliful when old ;
I can tell you a maiden fair- Not by lotions, dyes and pigments;
Not by washes for your hair. While you're youog be pure and gentle.
Keep your passions weU conlroli'd. Walk, work, and do yonr dnty.
You'll be handsome wheu you're old.
Snow-white locks are fair as golden,
Grey as lovely as the browu. And the smiles of age more pleasant
Than a youthful beauty's frown, 'Tis the soul that shapes the features,
Fires'the eye, attunes the voice; Sweet sixteen, be these yonr maxims.
When yon're sixty you'll reloico.
Our young maidens should, as Cicero says, "follow Nature as a Divinity." Powders, paints and washes but help the destroyer. Time, to fade the fairest brow, and rosiest cheek.
'Tis the soul that shapes the features. Fires the eye, attunes the voice;
"Snow-white locks are fair as golden.', There is uo use in trying to be what oue is not. "Follow nature as a Divin¬ ity." Siie must not be caricatured. Age bas beauty as well as youth, 'Who will deny tbis to the well-spent life? Though the body grow old and infirm, the mind may glisten, and age be most beaiitiful without the gloss of art. We And fault wilh wliat is spurious only. The beautiful in Nature ia easenlial lo tbe pleasure of the well-organized mind, and tbat mind which is must ma¬ tured and enlightened is moat suscept¬ ible of it. If beauly were uot essential to the mind we would not have the flowers of the fleld to " minister delight to mau and beautify the earlh." "Solo¬ mon in all his glory was uot arrayed ike one of (hese "—not even arrayed like that little wild flower, on the ruins, of which Mrs. Hemans says, "it gilds destruction with asmile and beautifys decay." We repeat" Follow Nature as a Divinity." Let the girls Iearn les¬ sons of modesiy and beauty from the Innocent flowers. Even in their dress they may copy innumerable designs Irom tbe flowers, and Iearn of tbe har¬ mony of colors, and charms of light and sbade, but away wilb your dyes, powders, paints, washes and water¬ falls."
FCWEB OP BIOICUliE. |
People who deal In ridicule will | sometimes ho aslonisbed at its exasper- aiing effects. Oflen it is not so much the merit cf tbe jest which hurls as the animus which prompted It. Tho jest itaelf may be pointless, but it wounds, as it iflhe expreiiaiun of dislike or cnii^ tempt. Hence, many a man h'js sacriticed a valuable triend to a porntleaa jeat. More fiiei.dsliips have been broken by petulaiii ridicule than perhaps byany other cauae. A man is more likely to iiurdmi anoth¬ er who hns overreached biin than one who has laughed at him, for ridicule injures aelf-eateem, wbicb ia a more lender f-ieliiig Ihaii that of aelf-lnter- eat; and tbe mau who baa been ridi¬ culed by anolher will always distrust him, because he can at any lime repeat the offence, whereas he may not have anoiber opportunity of overreaching conductl No material ser¬ vices rendered can compensate fur wuu- lou ridicule. Thougli you may obtain for a man a coveted place, or save liis life, yet, ifyou laugh at him, you wlil uot make hlin your friend. No per- Eoiiai faculty makes a man so much feared as that of ridicule. Great is its power iu debate. Even Pitt learned lo fear the ridicule of .Sheri¬ dan. Cunning's ridicule was a more ppwerful weapon in debate than Broug- liam's iuveclivc. The man who pos¬ sesses the power .of mukiug oibera ridiculous is undera great responsibility to employ his power only to expose folly, or refute sopbi.itiy, to aliuali im-' pudence, and lo liumble insolence, ar¬ rogant pretension uud aelf coiicit. Some of the mosl good-natured men are prone t-^ lhe wanton usu of ridicule, as oneof onr poets WHS citlUd "a good- natured man with the worst natured muse."
MILK^ lEA.r&SD  cijFFEE.
' Prof. Loomis-llius speaks of milk, tea, aud coffee: "Milk contains in so¬ lution, notonly due proporliona of car¬ bou, hydrogen, oxygen, aud nitrogeu, but all tbe other elemenls nectcsary for tho construotion of bone, lu-rve, &c., and heuce is always a proper food iu ail circumstances of heallh.
"Tea derives ils beneficial qualities not from its direct supply of nutrition, but from its affording a peculiar sub- tance called theme, tbeeffeet of which, in the system i.^ to liiminisb the wastes thna making leas fooil necessary. Tea thus has a positive economic value, not as a supplying but as a saving nu¬ triment.
"Coftec, thougli of a tiit-te so litiie allied to lea, ill rives ita value in pre cisely Ihe .-s-aiue manner aud from nearly tbe sume aubstuncep. lis value and effects in the system are therefore the same as those ubove stated. It is hence evident thut milk, tea aud collee are valuable articles of food under all conditions of temperature."
Yet, it muat bo general'y conceded tbat a free coftee drinker will almost invariably complain of billiousness and preaent a cadaveroua appearauce. For work-people as arule coffee will seldom produce this ertsct; but for all persons of sedentary habits who lake but lillle exercise, ccflce is not to be recom¬ mended. Tea as a substitute is greatly to be prefeired, as it is equally refresh¬ ing uudslreuglheuiug uud produces no bad effects;

He can hit a person ou the street from a great distance and can eujoy llie scene tbat ensues. He is not afraid of a policeman, because if lie were to be arrested wouldn't people aay it's a sliame lo arrest a child like tbat? He kuows all about that preacher Browne who shot a boy who got inlo a pear tree,' and he knows that Browne was uearly mobbed lo deuth. He will steal as much fruit as be can stuff into bim next season, see if be d'jesn't; and he wou't let any hens sit in bis part of town either.

Iu like manner, John¬ son huleil prospects and views. |We have anthorily of Mrs. Piftzzi for recording that Johnson used (o say the btst garden wus the one wliicli produc°d the most roots and fruits, and the river the most tu be prized was the one which produced themostlisb. The doctor unmercifully laughed at Sheu- stone for valuing a stream according lo ils pictureaqueuess, and not for its productiveness. Mrs. Piozzi believed that a walk in a wood when il rained was the ouly rural image which pleased Johnson. The pleasure then was perhaps derived from the thought that the rain would swell the peas, or make the turnips grow, or iu some way or oliier tend lo lbo comfort¬ ing of the iuner man. The feeliug^was akin (o tiiut of the epicurean ulio dwelt fondly ou the orient gule which prospered the ship frieghted Willi sugar fur the gooseberry pie.

The Power op Trifles.—A flne il¬ lustration of the power of trifles was furnished tbe world by a Peruvian cooper in the pursuit of liia vocation. One evening he placed a new tub under one of the trickling rills, that flowed down the side of a mountain, desiring to test the Boundness ofthe new vessel, and Its capacity for holding water.

Tliere Is somelhing deeply and pecu¬ liarly afl'ectiug in tlie expression—ap¬ plied to peraons in distress—" lhey have seen betler daya." No claim upon our sympathy touches us so uearly as this. When woman, in par¬ ticular, gentle, goud, uud unobtrusive, is the nufurtunule object who has "seen better days," the cauae is still more strongly calculated lo movef.urcom- pasaiuu; lur we are usuiilly incliued lo preaume, and wilh probability, thul though sbe is a parlicipator in the sad reverse, ahe could not have had any blamsable share iu producing it. Of ull objects of pity, in¬ deed, uniirr Ibc sun, the wonian who has undergone a change inber eslate, and bears her lull with uncomplaining mildness and patience, i.s one of ilie most truly and profoundly inlere.siiug. Shoeless, garnientlr!:s, liomelcsa puv- eity that sits bythe wuj'aide begging with its many wanls obtruded on every iianii, never touches the soul wilb a pang a hundredlh purlao acute, as lioes the shrinking, carefully concealed in. digence of the woman who has "seen belter days."

They never blister the tongue nor lips, and we have never lieard of any trouble arising from tbls iiuarler. Though they do not coat much, yet lhey accomplish much. They hell) one's good naiure and good will. Soft words soften our soul. Angry words are fuel to tbe flames of wrath, and make it burn more fiercely. Kiud words make oilier people good nalured. Cold words freeze people, aud iiot words scorch them, and bitter words make them bitter, and wrathful words make tbem wrathful. There is such a rush of all otber kinds of words in our days, tbat it seems desirable lo give kind words, and idle words, and hasty words, and spiteful words, and silly words, aud empty words, and boister¬ ous words; and warlike words. Kind words also piroduce tbeir own image In men's souls. . And a lieautiful image it is. They soothe and quiet and comfort the hearer. Tbey shame bim out of his sour, morose, unkind feelings.
