A BACHELOB'S OOHFESSION.

Married'? I'? Xot if r liiiaw my¬ self—and I rather suppose I do! But I eanie very near it last sumiupr, and ril U-ll JOU—conlidenlially, ofcourae — how it liappened.
I was np the Hudson, at C'le.swick Manor, viaitiug my second cousiu, Joe Creswiek, who had Just come home from rndia, withapocketfullof money, and uo particular idea how to spend it. So he bought the old manor house, put np about a quarter of an aere of con¬ servatories, leveled otTa croquet lawn, and tilled the place with company.
Joe is an agreeable fellow-, and I rather liked the idea of spending the summer in the country, with uo bills to pay, so r didn't liesitate to accept his invitation .it ouce.
Mrs. Joe was exceedingly agreeable In her way, too—a dark, bright little creature, with clieeka like ipeaohes and great bewiideriug eyes—and she l>ad a sister as like her as two peas.
"Deuced pretty girl, that Miss MId¬ dleton, Joe," said I, the firat uight I arrived.
"Think so?" aaid Joe. "Well, I don't mind telling you that you've made rather an impression on her," "No!" said I, palling my moustache. "Fact," said Joe, pnfHng away at bis Partaga, with a twinkle in his eyes. "Why don'tyou go in for Jenny MId¬ dleton, old fellow'.' There's money there!"
I settled the moustache to my satis¬ faction, and tnrned thesealring aronnd on my little flnRer once or twice.
" Well, you see—the fact is, I'm not a marrying man," I finally answered. "But if the girls u'iU make such a dead set at me—"
"It's no fault of yours?" Yes; I comprehend exactly," said Joe, cough ingalitt'.e. "But we've all have got to come to it, sooner or later, Bionysius —its like death, or the rheumatism." " That IS true," said I, reflectively; and there is sl gooti deal of style about MissJennj'. Well, I'll take this mat¬ ter into consiileralion."
"I would," said roy Cousiii Joe, dryly.
Creswiek Manor, as ill luck would hava it, was crowded with company that week, and among the gueats was a good looking young miscreant, Evan Hale by name, who appeared to be on ag?ravatingly good terms with Jsuny MIddleton.
"The conceited puppy!" I said to myself. "But 1=11 put a spoke in hia wbeel, nr my name isn't Dlonysius Pewter!"
But jn.'itas I was con'-ideriog where tn insert the aforesaid spoke, some friendly wind blew up a telegram from Hale'H Wall street office—"Wanted, immediately"—and juat as I waa re¬ joicing thereat, upon the very next day some unfriendly wind wafted up a let¬ ter for Jenny !
"It's from Evan, I declare!" said Jlrs. Joe, dancing up to her sister;with the epistle. "Dotell us wbat he says, Jenny?"
"From Mr. Hale!" chirped Gene¬ vieve Gossamer, a blue-eyed fairy In muslin and bluesatin ribbona. " Why I hadn't any idea it lind eome to a cor¬ respondence, Jenuy!"
"Do behave, allof you!" said Jenny, and away she rau to read her letter in peace, with cheeks as pink as the rib¬ bon-bow at Iter throat.
Now I leave it to j'ou if mattera didn't loob rather bad?
I smoked my cigar grimly in the arbor, and tried to read "Strathmore," hut it was ail to no avail. Evan Hale stalked through all the pages, and Miss Middleton'a dewy brown eyes aparkled in every wreath of amoke, Uke haunting stars.
"I'll go to my,room and have a glass of iced claret," mused I; "and then I'll flirt with some of the other girls, and make Jenny jealous! That will bring ber 'round."
My apartment waa in the east wing of the mausloD house, and to reach it I had to go directly paat that asaigned o Miss MIddleton; and, as ill-luck would have it, the door waa wide open, and there, on the dimity-draped dress¬ ing-table, lay the very letter that had made such a sensation among the girls that morning.
" I'll have a peep at it," soliloquized I. " I'd like to see for myself what the yonng villain has had the impudence to write! All's fair in love or war, they say."
Thus meditating, I tiptoed into the room—a dainty little bower of wblte mualin, pink ribbon, Iiubin's perfume* and crimping pins—and took np the letter.
Bnt Defore I co-did unfold it, the sound of voices and foolsteps, in the hall beyond, struck a thrill of dismay tomy.soul.
"By Jove!" cried I.^mentally, " tbe ¦ooDerl get out of tbis the better."
mad plunge for the door.
Thedoor!—bnt oh, unlucky fates! it was the wrong one; and, inatead of es- .caping into the hall, I dltrted into a wilderness—a grove, so to speak—of miisliD-flounced dresses, silken skirts and snoinry draperies.
Before I could recover inyself. the voices and foolatepa were close upon me—in the very room—and all retreat was efleclually cut ofl". I retired upon a telescopiccageof hooped skins, which clung around me with almost bumau maliciouBoeaa, ami drew the door as cleae aa I dared.
"Nothing on eartli shall lodnce me to let any one in!" I muttered between my teeth, as a parasol and ten band¬ boxes tumbled about my ears."
Here was a prelly posilion. tliough, for Dlonysius Pewter, esq., cooped up like a rat iu a trap, among dresses and jockey hats, ills feet ..entangled in hooped skirt.^, and a suu hnibrelia hooked into hia collar! Auppoae any oue should come to the closet?—sup¬ pose the girls slioatd Uud m« eaves¬ dropping ?—suppose- But just here Jenny Middleton'a merry, musical laugh routed the dis¬ mal proce£&ion-4if-fiup|tuKitioQS. ... ~.. •... "Juat let me see it, Jenny dear!" coaxed Nelly Powers. "Oae look, dar¬ ling—ouly one!"
"Nonsense!' cried Jenny.   "There's nothing in it, indeed." "But you're really engaged to him ?" "Yes, really and truly." "But wbat will Mr. Pewter say'"" "Mr. Pewter,  indeed 1"   iiished   out Jenny, so. electrically   that   1   almost jumped among lhe slippers and skirts. "A red-whiskered,   conceited   puppy, who fancies the whole feminine  worla is in love wllh   him!    What   ilo  3'nu suppose I care whal h« says ?''
"Though," said Nelly, demurely, "it would have been fun lo bring him to the proposing point! Just fancy him'on his knees! Wouldn't lie do it stiflly?"
And the liilla coquette laughed out at the idea.
"Perhaps you could manage it your¬ self," said Jenny, wickedly.
" I dare say 1 could," s.iid Nelly. "One might do anything wilii such a fool .IS that!" How my cheeks burned. "Just hand me that curling-stick, dear," said! Jenny, speakitii;, with a cluster of liair-pins in her inoulh. ''And now, set the white muslin polo¬ naise out of the closet."
My heart gave a. great jump, and then slood alill as Nelly flitted acro.ss Lhe room ami luid her bund nn the knob of my prisnn-houac.
"Dear me!" cried Nelly, "whut ails tliedoor?   It won't open."
"Give It a good pull," saitl Jenny, without looking aronnd. "It often sticks."
Nelly pulled vigorously on her aide I held stoutly on mine; but na evil fate would decree the slippery handlie sua- deniy slid out of my grasp, and tbe door flew open, disclosing me lo the girls' terrified view, a statue of de- pair.
Before I could opeu roy lipa tospeak, it was banged to again, and the key turned, while Nelly and Jenny flew into the hall, screaming iu wild cho¬ rus:
"Aman! aman! a thief! a burglar! a robber! a murderer!"
In an instant, the room was thronged Willi people, all askiug quesliona at once, iu a aort of Babel of voices.
"Where ia he?" bawled my Cousin Joe.   "I'll settle him!"
As he spoke he threw open llie door, making a lunge wilb a poker thai came within aquafterof aoluchof my head. "Hold on, Joe!" I gasped, in desper¬ ation.   "It'a only I!'
"Onlyyou.'" roared Joe; "and what on earth are you doing here ?" "Hu»h-ah-sh!" I whispe.red. for pity'a aake, speak ao loud! plain it all; only let me out! amother iu anolher minute, don't."
And like a convicted criminal, I was led out, the hooped skirls trailing after me, like a vindicative serpent, in fuil view of all the girls, whoae terror had changed to hyalerical laughter, half- suppreascd gigglea. Alas, for ths dig¬ nity of man!
I lold my Cousin Joe us plausible a story as I conl-I invent about my hav¬ ing mistaken tlie rootn, bul I don't thiuk he believed me; and thoae mis¬ chievous giria fouud the whole thing out hefore dusk.
I left Creawlck Manor the next moru ing, and had tne additional satisfaction of seeing Evan Hale'a fuce at the win¬ dow of the up-express aa we paased it. I haven't reoelved wedding-cards yet, but I dare say I ahall.
So, you see, ifall thia hadn't happen¬ ed—and ifl had propn,sed to Jenny Middleton—and if she had accepted me—and if there had been no such per¬ aon as Evan Hale—it'a very possible that I might have been married. Thai's how it all happened.

^?AT IS GOOD HorSEKEEPIMG 1
From the time when Sarah, at the desire of Abraham, hasted to make ready inlo cakes the three measures of meal for the entertainment of their an¬ gel visitors, it haa beeu the ambition of woman to be considered a good house¬ keeper, and the feeling is praiseworthy. Solomon, in summing up the qualities of a virtuous woman, aaya: '-She look- elh well to the waya of ber household, and eateth not the bread of idleness." I am not undertaking lo teach how to keep honse welt, but I would like to write out some things which have come under my obaervallon, aud from which I have been led to reflect that although neatneaa, Jcleanlinesa, order, system, and Ihoronghness may have been kept from the youth up, tliere seems to be often something lacking that is indefinable, and which can only be obtained by communion will) intelli¬ gent minds and the reading of useful books.
I knew a family some years aince who were uothing if uot thorough houaekeepera. They devoted thewboie of their minds to it, from the father to the youngest daughter. They never attended places of amusement, and seldom had company or went from home, for the dulies of washing and ironing and cleaning and cooking, making up oew linen, quilling coun¬ terpanes, and spinning home-made blankets so completely filled the hours, tbat they had no time to waste on pleasurea. If, in an unguarded mo¬ ment, you had ventnred to ask one of the daughters if sbe had read some popular new book, she would look at you with unfeigned astonishment. "Wby, I never read noytblng," she would say, ami, with an expression of contempt at your suppoeed neglect of duty, "Do voti gettime to read ?"
Now, tbiB is not good taoaaekeeping. It may be neat or clean or lystemstio or thoioiigb housekeeping, but it is not good.
I hkve in my mind a highly reapeet- sbie family,. «tho, in my mother's time,
onr less pretentionaiiomo. I was often sent to the great liouse with n basket of peaches or'early harvest apples or new laid^^8as -a.present. Iheit'jliouse- keeping uaed to surpriife me exceed¬ ingly; so much So, indeed, thatl have a dim recollection of standing wilh open-mouthed curiosity, drinking iu the novelties of the situation. Tliey had no children, while we had a host of theni. My mother's housekeeping was the genial, cheerful, large-hearled, "doors-ajar" sort of style, where every¬ body was welcome and everybody liked to come. In short, it was sncii n liome as I wish every family in the laud could now en¬ joy. But our neighbors's way was dif¬ ferent from I1HI8. Tltere was no hurry heroorcoufuaiou, whereas, when we had a largeb.^klnE or an extra dinner for compauy, there would be bolh ibr a time. There everything waa clean, and, in fact, fairly dazisled you wilh its polished cleanliuess. Everything was ilone al juat such a llme—lhe washing and starching and ironing and baking, liie dusting aud sweeping. The win¬ dows were cleaned on just suoh a day, while, I fancy, at our house they were washed only when they were dirty. Thi)-*Tlaughter lived-for her husbandj and motbei', aud to keep houae for them, and they, with lhe two servants, corapusetl the family. It was seldom that lhey weut out, und they had very iitlle company. Viaitoia put llieni a lillle out of their regular away, and lhey did not like that. I ¦A'us lhere once In diuner by a sort of accident. I had been aent over on an errand just at dinner-time, and, while waiting, a heavy siiower came on, and the dinner being on the table, I was in¬ vited fo stay. As I always did every¬ thing I waa asked to do, I look oft" my bonnet and was placed at the table by the d.iughter, who took the mauage¬ ment of everything. I neveraliall for¬ get thai dinner, fur the occasion haa been so indelibly lixed npon my mind. After I was placed at tho table, and be¬ fore the others were seated, the lady passed her hands, like a bell-player, over the tops tif tbo tu teen-covers and under the plates.
While doing so she aeemed to see something that startled her; for, all in a inoment, iier eyes exploded tis she lixed them upon a cove'* of oue o/ the disliei'. "Wby, inoUiur, what is litis? Just comeliei'e! Nnw, wlialdoyouaup- pose thatis? What can itbe?" andsueh like expressions as tiiey botb coulinued to gaze at the dreadful spot. The cover aud tho thing they .saw were just before me, but Icould see nothing, though I was anxious to doso. FinallyHannah was called in, aud she could not tell for a few moments wliat it conid be, but at last decided Hint, in bluing the muslins (the tureens being ou the kitchen-table at lhe time), a .=pot of the lilning had fallen upou the dish. She took the cover out, waslietl and wiped it, and returned it to ils place, from whence the girl in waiting removed it after the blessing was asked. I was there on anolher occasion when Han¬ nah, who had lived wilh tliem for sev¬ eral years, accidentally dropped a tum¬ bler, and there was more fuss made over that bit of broken glass than there would have been at my innlher's if the aervanla had broken half the croiikery the house contained.
Now this aort of style waa not, in my opinion, good housc-keepiug. It waa cleanliness, system. ai:d narrow-mind¬ edness gone lo seed. Inever pitied a poor man so much as I did this wo¬ man's husband. He waa never allowed to enter the house uutil he had goue through an ordeal Ihat many men would have had spirit enough lo have resisted. There was asort of inclosed veranda where tbia poor man was put to the torture twice every day of hia life. As soon as his wife -heard the click of tbe garden-gale she rushed to the sloop, and, arming herself with the whisk-brootn,awaited lier husliand'sap- proach. Then she brushed his coat which was removed aud another oue put on, aud hia hat was brushed and hung np. Then she whisked liim off from iiead co foot, and he must put on a pair of slippers; then a clean hand¬ kerchief was given to him, and he was allowed to enter the house, after flfteen minutcaof his lime liad been spent in this way. He would not have dared to smoke a cigar, or lo ask a friend to do so, wilhiu the sacred precincts, on the sloop, or iu the garden, if the wind ahould happen to be in the direction of the house. There waa uo lack of book here—indeed, tliey had a flne library. But their housekeeping was a failure. It was too selfish; It was uot oompre- heusive ; il was too one-ideaed. It waa wrong for these two women to devote every energy of their naturally capable minds to do nolhing elsj but keeping a honse spotlessly clean. But what is good huusekeepiug? That is good housekeeping which Is clean and thnr.-iigh an-I systematic, hut which, ut the same time, is hoapitabie and sensible and casthetical; that ia punc¬ tual, but not too much so—apunctuai- iiy that is not in an agouy If the bell rings just as dinner is ou the table and tbe meal is delayed a few minntes, anil where there is uo unseemly hur¬ rying to the table, and where the mas¬ ter sharpens his carving-knife with a deliberaieneas that assures you there is plenty of limo, while he gives a kindly glance of inquiry into each genial face, and where there is lively and witty couversalion at the table, and where the family are not afraid lo linger five minutes more thau usual over the des¬ sert; the hou.sekeeping that isnotaf.'aid of a little exlra trouble if it will give one any pleasure; and where you will find books aud papers not only on the libraiy-shelt or on the drawing-room table, but in odd corners, where tliey have been holding intercourse with aome raember ol the family.
ing hours to search and dig for their phlful Bubsiatenoe, • yet they-look DO pleasure in anticipating with their parents their dehverence from so poor a habitation, and au meau aud precari¬ ous a living.
Tbe terrific storms that raged aronnd its shores, aud the sultry sun that burn¬ ed tbe sands and rocks wheu there was acalm, did not seem lo them less en¬ joyable, than the refreshing dews, cool shades, aud modeiate temperature of their parents'land; and the beautiful flowera, golden fruits and mellow-tuued birds their faiher lold tliem about did not possess ao mncb interest for them as the smoolb stonea ou their beach, and the hoarse sci'eams of llie sea birda that flew about their amall and bleak world. At laii afckilTwlth fourblaok-a-moora in it landed one day on the island.   .
The parents rejoiced at this, hoping that now their deliverauce was near, and while the boat was approaching, tbey had again told their children of the beauties and joys with whicb their native laud abounded, ao that their mlnda would forget the scenes of their childiah carea In autlcipation of new and more exciting pleasures iu the land to whijb they were going. But the boat was too small to take more than orie"'blBlJiaes its' crew7'''aad~(he blackainoors said they would ouly take the father witli them, but would soon return for the reat and take tbem one by one.
The mother and children begaii to wail and lament when they saw him approaching the frail, thin-planked ve.s3el, tostepiutoit and trust himself in it on so boundless and perilous au ocean, and tbe fourblack oarsmen stand by ready to push offfrom the shore aud launch into the vast deep, whose slorma had ao often seemed to ahake tbe ialaud to its foundation.
He turned to them aa he came to the water's edge, and aaid, "Weep not, my children, I am going to my native land of which I have so often told you, and I will aooa send for jou, and you shall all come to me and enjoy its delights and richness with me."
But after the boat was lost to lhelr sight below tbe horizon, and their grief became more calm, they remembered what their father had often told them abont the distant country, and asked lhelr mollier mure ofits nature and ap¬ pearance. The poor island, which had afforded them a tempdiary shelter and living, seemed no louger a place where they could be contented to spend all their days in, and they often thought of their father'a parting word.'?, and-lhe beautiful vessel he v/as to bring for their voyage over the deep ocean.
But it was the same boat that came aguin, aud at thia limc the black-a- moors aaid liiey could tako ouly one, ami that must be tbeir mother. Again the children cried and lamented at the departure of their oilier parent, but she turned to thcoi and aaid, " Weep not, dear children ; in the better land, whicli is our native couutry, we shall all meet and be happy aguin ; thiuk of your father and me. and be reatly to come together, wlien weaball aend for you."
After her departure the children lost all interest in their youthful objecta dmiralion, aud giving only so mncb of Uieir thoughts to their island home as was necessary-to- afford them a sub¬ sistence, until the boat returned, tbey conversed with each other constantly on those beautiful thinga they had heard their parenta speak of, aud held Ihemselvea in constant reaainess to leave lhe island and go to their fatber'a land when tho black-a-moora came for them.
At last the ak iff came to take the two children away, and, Ibough tbey wil¬ lingly went, they shivered and trem¬ bled aa the four black men toot hold of them, and banded them into the boat, for their long voyage over the deep, unknown aea.
But llieir joy was unbounded when tliey saw their father and mother wait¬ ing for them on the far off shore; who, after they had welcomed them, took them by the bands and led them nn¬ der the sbade of a high palm tree; and set honey and delicious fruits on the flowery turf before tbem. "Oh, bow poor and bitter were our roots," said the chililren toeach other; "not fright¬ ened, but rejoiced ahould we have been wben tbe black men came to lake ua from that laland, aud to bring ua to this better and more beauliful laud."
"Dear children," aaid the faiher, >'our deliverance from that poor island to this beautiful land, haa yet a higher aigniflcalion to ua than you see. There lies before us a still longer voyage, hut also a more beautiful shore. The whule earlh npou ^hich we live is but an island also, and the heavenly land to which we are going is typefled by this beautiful country. The sea we must crosa again is death, but when the hour comes for the four blaok men and their boat, lo take us over it, weep uot though your mother and I should go Brat, and do not tremble when iteomes your own turn to go, for death la to the righteous bnt a voyage to a beller land."

WHAT AKIKD WOBB DID.
THE BEIIEa LAHD.
A faiher and mother, witli their two children, once lived on an uncultivated Island far ont In the ocean, wliere tbey had beeu cost by a shipwreck. Boots and herbs served them for suatenance, a apring aupplied them with drink, and they were sheltered in a cavern among tlie roeka.
The children could uot remember how they came to tbe laland; they knew nolhing of the main laud, and bread, milk, fruit, and all elae that could be procured In itfor (heir nourish¬ ment and enjoyment, were to tbem wholly unkuown.
Having no definite knowlege of a better land, or mode of liviug, they were contented with the miaerable sheller, the fare and enjoyments the poor Island supplied, and,'when their parents spoke to them of the beautiful groves, rivulets and gardens the main¬ land abounded in, they tliought tbey were not half ao enjoyable as the sandy beach, stunted shrubs and naked rocks they spent all tbelr hours among.
Their appetite was never satlsfled, for the mots and herbs they subsisted on were far from tbeir cave and bard to get;^ buttlioogh it icqaired all the Ume that oould be f pared from ^ their- aleep-
There was once a schoolboy named Bobert, who pasaed fur a dull one among hia companiona, and waa ridicul¬ ed and called "bluuderbuas," etc.
It happeued oue day that some of the membera of the school committee were examining the pupils in drawing. With downcast eyes Robert timidly held up his specimens amid the half- siippreaaed laughter of hla comrade.'?.
"Don't be ashamed, my boy," aaid one whom we will call Mr. Curlisa. "I made worse looking trees and horaes when I began to d raw. Go on you'll ciinqner—will even surpass me, I'm tliinking." He theu drew a sketch and gave it to the boy, aaying, "There, see what can be done by peraeverance."
Thia little Incident gave Ilobert a atart in life. Tlioae words were for him a solid capital well Invested.
Ssveral yeara after, Mr. Curtlss was extolling some arciiilectural drawings wblch a friend bad shown him. He commended in tha higbest lerms both the deaigns and their style uf execution. "The architect considers himself in¬ debted to you for his aubceaa," aaid hla friend.
"Me!" exclaimed Mr. Curlisa. "I don't understand."
"Do you   remember  encouraging a boy at tbe hillside school, and giving bim this sketch?" replied the other, proUucing  the amall   drawing   before mentioned. "I had entiraly forgotten il." "Thatboy," continued the informant "Is the originator and executor of these designs.

Little Clara Sheldon lived with her father and mother in a pretty cottage on tlie iianka of the Hudann, They had a beauliful flower-garden in front of the honae, filled wilh all kinds of fiowers, auch as violeta, tulips, roaes, etc; and every morning Clara would get up with the snn and gather a little boquet, fresh wilh aparkling dew, to give to her father to carry lo lown wilh him, for he had to go lo New York to attend to his business.
One beautiful moruiug, while galh ering the boquet, she espied a large white rose, all covered with litlle dia¬ mond-like drops nf tiew. With an ex¬ clamation of delight she hastened to¬ ward itto pluck it, but just as her hand touciied the stem, a liny voice, which seemed to come from the rose, suid : "Pleiise don't!"
Clara looked down, and aaw standing on the rose the amallest being imagina¬ ble, who continued:
"Please don't pluck this rose-Jt iaL| my bed!"
"Y'our bed!" said Clara surprised. " Who are you, beautiful little thing?" "I am a fairy," rejilied the litlle thing, "and my name is Fragrance; and my grandmother, M.ib, queen of the fairies, is angry with me, and bas banished me from tlie fairy land : but I cannot live bere. I must take one look at my dear houte, although roy grandmother aald if I ever came hack ahe would kill me."
"Why, what a wicked fairy she muat be!" said Clara,
The liltle fairy only sighed, and, shakingont her pair of wiugs, aailed away, and was soon out of sight.
Clara went on gathering ber flowers, when, thinking the dew-drops would make beautiful jewela, sbe took from ber pocket a vial to secure them in; just then ahe happened to glance up¬ ward, and aaw the litlle fairy hurry¬ ing toward her, chaaed by a large blue fly. Asaoon as the tiny thing was near it cried:
"The fly Is my wicked grandmother going to kill me."
Wilb theae worda she fell on a rose, panting for breath.
Clara held up the vial to ward off the fly, but it waa Cuming so swiftly that it never heed'*d it, aud ao flew rigbt into It. Clara clapped iu tbe cork, and held it faat.
" What shall I do with thia wicked old fly!" she asked the fairy, as soon s the little thing had somewhat re¬ covered from its fright.
"Keep it fast in the vial," waa the answer, "and do not let it out till It promlaes to be gocd."
So ahe placed It In her room, and went lo her breakfaat.
The next morning ahe saw in golden lettera ou the vial theae words:
''I will be good, always good, ifyou will let me out?"
So ahe ran again to thelittle fairy and asked her what to do, aud the au¬ swer waa:
'¦ Let her out. A fairy never broke her word." Bo sbe went aud opened the vial, and out flew the fly, alighting on the window sill. It rubbed it, winga with ita liind feet, and immediately be¬ came a beauliful fairy, and then, in a aweet voico thus addreased her;
Bcauae you have kept me from evil dolug in my anger, and have been kiud to my daugbter, I giveyou virtue, happiness and loug life. May you be lhe means of reforming mortals, aa you have me; aud muy your happineas ex¬ ceed that of the fairies!"
Sbe theu flew to her grandmother and kiaaed her, and after Fragrance had thauketl Clara, they flew off to fairy¬ land. And Clara was bappy, for wbo is not wheu lhey bave made others so?
How Holilieit ate Pnnished. A Lindun correspoodeut ofthe Dub¬ lin j^reemen's Journal, writing of date Seiitember 17, aays: Two young meu couvicled of robbery with violence, had adminiatered tn tbem thia morn¬ ing a caaligalion whicii must forever have settled in the miuds of those who wituesaedillhemooiedqueatlon,wheth¬ er corporeal puuishment really acta as a deterrent to crime, Su far as the cul¬ prits themselves are concerned, It Is more tbau probable that they will uever again rnn the risk of being placed at the mercy of a couple of stout ward¬ ers and a nine-tailed cat; and asto their friends iu crime, wero lhey to wilness the manuer in which the punialitnent Is borne by the most hardened of their fellow-rullians asalulory effort would, no doubt, bu pronouuced upon their minils forsome limu to come. Daniel Duffy, ayoung fellow^ or eighteen years ot age, was flrst placed on the grating to undergo that porllon of bia aentence which muat have been harder lo bear thau tile whole aeven yeara' penal servitude which are to follow.
To the uninitiated twenty-five lashes do nnt appear a very severe sentepcp. but wheu one witufsses tlie elfect of eaQli atroke ujjon the baek of the man, the fearful cries of agony wrung fio him eaeh time the cat, wielded by 11 e pniclicai arm of a p-)werful warder, comes whizzing upon his shoulders, it naturally occurs lo the mind that the matter ought lo be ventilated as freely as possible, in order that garnters In general may be made aware of tli'i treat lu store for litem whhiu the walls of Newgate. Duft'y, when brought iuto the room cast a nervous glance at the two warders, wilh llieir sleeves ataip- ped ready for actinn, and wilbout a word uubmiUed to be fastened, hand aud foot. At tiie flrst airoke his courage faileil, and fmm that time until the wbole Iwenty-five lashes had bi-en ad¬ ministered, he kept up a cimtiuuous acream of agony, occasionally crying, "Have mercy, doctor I'm bviiiK luur- dered." When releaud, bis back, from the shouldera nearly to hi* Iwli, was one mass of livid tl;«ii, au I )¦¦• Wi«i unabltfto walk to his u:!tl .---
sistance.
Thesecond victim wa< a younit fel¬ low tweniy years of age, iiaineil John Talboiit, whu, at Maidstone, ou the 2:1J of July, held » laboring ui-ku by lUe name of Pritcliard by the throat, wbile two otber men robbed hlin of a few half-pence, elo. Tne seuteuce in Ills case was Iblrty laahes and seven years penal servitude. Tal.iout, a stronger built mau tban Duffy, from the deler¬ miued manuerexhibited when brought from his cell, believed that his courage was suflicient to carry him Ihrough the ordeal, the nature of which he evi¬ dently mistoolc. As the U rst stroke was laid ou a suppressed groan eacaped him, accompanied by a start of surprise, but he drew hiinself upright, aud ihre-.v his shoulder-blades baok logether tn pro¬ tect his aplne.
From the beisinnin;; to the eud, how¬ ever, he never uttareii a wurd, although his back was more severely lacerated tnan Duffy's, the skiu being broken in aeverai places, and, when released, he declined the proffered assistance of the warders to dross, and quietly walked from the room lo his call, assumingthe same defiant air with which he bad entered, allhough It waa evident from his uneasy motion 'and the discolored back, that the punishment was such aa will be remembered to the end of his life. The sentences were carried uut lu the presence of Sir John Bennett, the Sheriff, Mr. Baard, the undor-aheritl, Hr. Gibson, the surgeon, and represen¬ tatives of the press.

Jim waa made a cripple at the baltle of Stone River. After the war a comrade met him silling in front of a provlaion store i,u Columbus. He was still a cripple, but bis face bad the old quiet¬ ness and'Content In It. He said, "Yes, I'm doiug pretty well; not making mnch, hut doiug pretty well. Have just been up to see ray wife. Bhe mar¬ ried another man, you kuow. No? Didn'tyou know it? Yes, she niar- rjed another fellow before I got home. Divorced'< No. Hhe Just married him and threw me overboard, you know.

He's got a farm and good liouse, and be took my wife aud children right in, air, and trealed them like gentlemen. It cut me a liltle to have the woman throw me off, but I looked at the question from her standpoint, and it'a all right. Then I got worked up a litlle, aud thnuglil I had beller steal the children frum their atep-falher. So I went up to see them again. Would you believe it?

I can't do anything much, aud it wouldn't be cotufortahle, you know, to have her working for me. I couldn't stund lliat half as well as I can the way Itis now.

After all, is the world so very absurd In Ua love of pretty women ? Is woman so very ridiculous iu ber cbase afier beauty ? A prelt.v woman is doing a womau's work in the world, not mak¬ ing speechea, nor making puddings, but makiug Ufa sunnier aud more beautiful, Man bas forsworn tbe pur¬ suit of beauty altogether. Does he seek it for himself, he is guessed to be poetic, there are wbiapeni that his morals are no better tbau tbe^ shonid be. In sociely resolute.lo be ugly there .is no post for an Adouis, but that of a model or guardsman.
But woman does for mankind what man ceases to do. Her aim from child- baud is to be beautiful. Eveu as a scbool-glri sbe hoti^ the progress of ber charms, tbe deepening color of her balr, the growing syn^metry of her arms, the ripening contoiir of faercheeh We watch with silent intereet the mys'- teripns reveries.'ofttie.maldeo; abe is dreaming of qcming teanty, and pant- ing.fpt the.glorlea of elgbtcebi' .

Drink early!
Wbat is buainess, wbat is houor, what ia life, to the heady youth wbo bas acquired the taste!
Whiskey forever 1
But, remember, that the appetite for strong drink lu man has spoiled the lives of more women—ruined more hopes for them, brought theni to more shame, sorrow and hardship, than uuy other evil. Tlie conntry numbers lens of thouaandsr-nay, hundreda of Ihou¬ aauds—of women who are widows to¬ day, aud sit iu hopeless weeds, be¬ cause tbeir husbands have been slain by atrong drink.
There are hundreds of tbouaands of homea, acaltered all over the land, lu whicb women live lives of torture, go¬ ing througb ail the changes of suffer¬ ing that'Iie belween the extremes of fear aud despair, because thoae whom tbey love, love wine better tneu they do women, they have sworn to love. There are women by the thousands who dread to bear at the door the step tbat once thrilled them with pleasure, becauae that step has learned to reel under the influence, of the seductive poison. There are women groaning witb pain, while we write these worda, from bruiaes and brutalities inflicted by husbands made mad by drink.
There can he no exaggeration in any statement made in regard to tbis mat¬ ter, because uo Imagination can create anything worse tban tbe truth. The sorrows and horrors of a wife with a drunken buaband, or a mother with a drunken aon, are aa near tbe real Izatlon of hell as cau be reacbed in tbis world, at least. The shame, tbe indignation, tbe sorrow, tbe sense of disgrace for herself and children, the poverty— and not unfrequently the beggary—the fear and the fact of violeuce, the linger¬ ing, life-long atruggle and despair of countless women witb drunken hus¬ bands, ara enough to make all women cniae wine, and engage unitedly to op¬ pose it everywhere as the worat euemy
of their »«..;,-,.

Man becomes, lu dilfeit-nlHiMj^es of his life indeed, adiffereui being; but lie cannot say thul be wlli surely bo belter as he grows onward, and in certain matters he is us likely to be right in his twenti¬ eth asin hiaaixtieth year.
Ainericti'a great thinker, Emerson, eaya: •• Life ia hardly respectable if it bas uo generoua taak, no dutiea or af- fiOtioDS that coiiatitute a neceasity of existing. Every man's task is his life preserver."   V^
