A DAY ASD ANIGHT.
" Don'L 1)0 gone loug, Katey." "No, MotliL-r."
" Conic, C!eH!.tr, we will give ourselves .just au hour to go to tlio villaRe and liaek."
Au oa.sy taak for the sreat .shining, Uhmk creature over which thesHUshiuc playcJ, ami who loolicil Lack at his misliesi' Ilowing robe with au eye of (ire. He walked iu stately fasliion up tlie long hill, hut there hroke iuto the eiwy canter whieh made him iucom- ]iarable for tho s.iddle.
The sun rose over the hills, and one robin wiui challenging the world.   The May wind blew freshly, lifting Katcy's curls from her neck, aud shaking tlie golden nias.s over her ehouhlers liko a banner.   She diewin the leiu .suddenly at Uie bank of tlie liver, for the bridge wxs gone.    Her ro.sy face was lellected in the walcr as she peeiied over. " Why, Cesar, what .shall we do'.'" I tw:Ls three miles to the bridge below. Deep river had not many cro.ssings, aud was to swift to ford.    Sho paused per¬ plexed, all her plans arrested, for if she couhl not cross the river, she cmild not get to the village, and Ihe medicine necessary for her little brother could not be obtaiued.
She waited for several momenls lost iu mcditaliou. SudUculy a hand waa .stretched toward her horse's head, and and a voice spoke her name. She started, and her heart bounded violently ns she recaguized tho man who ad¬ dres.sed her. " Mr. Lorou.'c!" .she said. " Would you like lo cross the river?" he aaUod. Iscepiug his liand on Ijer horse's bridle, and fixing his strange eyes steadfastly on her face.
" Very much. My brother is ill, and 1 have been scut to see the doctor."
Leronx lowered the lids over his strange eyes. It was a way he had when an evil (hought—aud his thoughts were all evil—came lo him.
"I will take you down to the ford. It is not very far."
Katey made no reply. She h.irdly kuew what to say. She wanted to get to Stt'aun>ville, but she did uot like the ajipearanee of Leroux. A year ago he had rather intimidated and annoyed lier by iiis profe-ssions of regard. Sho had not .seen him of late.
" What lias become of the bridge, Mr. Leroux V"     :
" The freshet took- it away.   Don't you see how high the river is?" " Then the ford must he covered." " I'erhaps not; hut if it is, the bridge is jn.st beyond.";
As ho spoke he moved forward, and her horse began following. Kati^y had hut half cousentcd to thi.s arrangement, liut .she did not speak.
" At any rate," she thonghl, " I do not know what else lo do."
Ijiltie Tom's fever had run high that morning, and he must have the medi¬ cine. Soslicsat (juietly iu the saddle, looking with disfavor at Leroux'sblack »-nrls. They hung, unkempt, npou his .shoulders. He was dressed iu a suit of coarse gray cloth, much stained by ex¬ posure lo the weather. He had a geue¬ rally neglected and reckless look, and Ivatey could not but lake note of it.— His gr.ay felt hat was stained with mud, ;is though it had fallen from his head, or been ulejitiu ou the ground. He had Kimie kinilof a gaudy ringon the hand which held her horse's briiile.
Once or twice she sjioke to him. He answered witliout turning round. She soon iiereeived that lhey were going into the woods, Slie made an attempt to cheek her horse.
" Mr. Ijeroux, I doiit thiuk Ihad bet¬ ter go. I shall uever liud my way hack."
" Oh, no troublcabout that. You will .nee how plain the way is in a minute." Katey began looking for landmarks to guide her return. Thero was a char¬ red stump to her right, and just beyoud, at her left, a spring trickled among the rocks. The way was grass-grown, or covered Willi fallen leaves. The trees closed thickly aud darkly about them. Soon the woods grew darker, and be¬ came almbst impenetrable. AU was si¬ lent but the sounds of their footsteps.— Hardly a bird's cry was heard.
"Tills must be auunfreeiuented way," aaid Katey.
" It is," replied Leroux.
They seemed, to lie descending..
But phe caught no gleam of water.— Nothing but the 3nddeD, sharp Jjark of
a dog was to be heard. She wondered whose the dog could he, and was think¬ ing it strange that the rushing sound ofthe river did not fall upon her ears, when suddenly Lerou.K turned and lift¬ ed her out of the saddle.
Bis physical power was so great, and tho motion so quick, that resistance was impossible. But sho uUored a faint cry, and struggled in his arms, as she felt hferself still borne rjijiidly onward. Leoux only held her more lirmly in hia arms of iron. He was springing rapidly down tho rocks iuto almost impenetra¬ ble darkness. Ivatey glanced arouud her, ami screamed with terror aud de¬ spair. Instantly Lcronx's rough hand was shut tightly over her mouth. Ho did uot speak beyond a muttered oath, but leaped on from rock to rock, betweeu whichKatey caught Ihegleam of water; and suddenly a great dog fawned upon him. "Down, Cain! Dowu.rsir!" The dog leaped aside to avoid a vig¬ orous kick.
Leroux released Katey. Sho .slijipod to tho ground, ami found herself iu a cave, Slie glanced around her, aud thcn'turned indignantly on Leroux. "How dare you bring me here, sir?" " Because here is where I want you. I have uo other home."
" You are a coward," aaid she, stand- straight as au arrow, and clenching her small hands.
"So so I Well I do not expect you to lovo ine at first," ho replied, coolly. Siie looked around her. The cave wiui about lifly feet square. In one coruer was a bed.of dried leaves and deerskins. Tlie one entrance w-as guarded by the great dog, who lay with bis black muzzle betweeu his forejiaws, and his blood-shot eyes fixed upou her. Her he.art died wilhin her, hut she turned proudly upou I he villain.
"How^long do you intend 16 detain Die here, sir?" "As long as I'm obligeil to slay here." Y'ou see," seating himself upon a log, "I also am confined here against my will. Misery loves company, yon know; and you hai>peu to he the girl I clioose, any liow."
"Do yon mean that you have done sncha monstrous thing as lo bring nie here lo live with you ?"
Katey's face was white, but her voice was full and firm. "Justso," answered Leroux. She stood luokiugat him. He looked back at her with cool, devilish eyes. She turned faint with the horrors of hersitu.ttian, but made a violent ellbrt and rallied.
" Why ale j'OU living in this strange place?" she asked, seating liei'self (juietly upon a rock.
"There, that's pleasant," said Ler¬ oux, nodding. "Well, mydear,innd it necessary to retire for a Avhile from
public opinion and "
He finished by the expressive motion of putting both hands ronud his throat, ami stretching his neck.   Did ho racaii the gallows?    Katey's heart lay sick withiu her. "Ido not understand," sho said, "Never miud.    It is not necessary that I should be too couruleutial. Don't you waut someluneh? ,Seo here, now!" He rose aud struck a light.   Tlie light revealed a small cavity iu the side of the cave, whieh Leroux evidently used as a cupboard, as he proceeded to draw forth loou ami dishes.   A fter a moment he bronght her a plate of flue AVheat bread aud houcy, and water in a silver oblet.   She made a feint of eating.— Meanwhile she examined tho  goblet curiously.   It was of solid silver, richly euchased, aud marked by the moiio- gr.am of the Marlowes, the wealthiest family iu the village—people of taste and cultuie, whoso names wero now running throughout tho country, on ac¬ count of a tragedy  enacted   in   their house.   The place had beeu entered for the pnrxiose of robbery. Mr. Marlowe, au aged man, had been disturbed by some noise in his slcej); aud rising, and jiart- ly dressing, had descended to the dining room.   He was followed by his little grandson, a child of nine years.   Hero the robber fell upon BIr. Marlowe, aud the child tried to protect him; for wheu a heavy fall aroused the other iimi.ates of the house, they found  the old man prone upon the carpet, ami the boy senseless, upon his  breast,  with   his arms stretched across him.   Mr.  Mar¬ lowe had been slabbed, and was dead. The boy had beeu struck violently upon the head with some heavy instrument; and though concussion of the brain was feared, he finally recovered.   The rob¬ ber had lied willi a heavy booty.
As Katey Gray recalled these facts, she knew that she was in the presence of Mr. Marlowe's murderer. She ate aud drank with what appetiteshecoiild, woudeiiug whereiher horse might be. Leroux rose suddeuly, and went out of the civc. As he went, he made an ex¬ pressive gesture lo the dog, whicli she did not, however, observe.
Finding herself alouc, Katey's hopes rose. She .sprang up and advanced toward the door of the cave. But she hcsiljited ere sho went forward; for the <log raised his huge head, and regarded her sharply. A few stejis more and he began to growl omiuously. Seeing her progress harred in that direction, Katey looked auxionsly about in others. Ev¬ idently, the cave extended uudera hill, for there was no other egress.
The pl.ace was growing still darker, it seemed, to her. The suushino was probably obscured by clouds, aiid the damp air of the cave .seemed oven more chilly thau before. Leroux was goue for a long time—for hours it seemed to her. He appeared at last with his arms filled wilh wood, which lie did not kindle, however, but Ihrew.dowu in the cave, aud then suddenly turned away. "I meant to have had a lire," he muttered, " but itwill not do now."
He went without the cave, and stood there listening anxiously. Afler a few moments he returned, aud called the dog within. He tajiped the animal ou the head and made him lio do.vn with¬ in tho entrance. The brule settled him¬ self with a growl. His muzzle was toward the enlrauco of tho cave.
.Tusl then Katey thought she heard a distinct shout. She rose involuntarily. Just then Leroux drew a pistol aud covered her.
"If you open your lips or .stir," he said, " I will shout you dead on thespot. Then hedrew along, sharp knife from his waist-band.
" Or slab you," he .added, " the pistol may malte a noise."
Comprehending the whole situation, she quielly reseated herself. She un¬ derstood that there were people in pur¬ suit of Leroux, and they were search¬ ing forhim in the woods.
"If they havo tracked him here lhey will surely find him eventually," she thought, as a gleam of hope shot through her heart.
The cave had grown almost perfectly dark; but Katey could see the figure of Leroux and the hideous form of the great bull dog. She was chilled, faint and cramped; but sho sat perfectly still. Leroux seemed to have forgotten her.
ble darkness. She could no longer see Leroux, though she sometimes heard him stir or sigh. Suddeuly he spoke to her.
"Go and lie dowu," he said, "1 must watch to-night. We can have no light either."
She made no response, and he took 1X0 fiirtlier notice of her. Several hours p.assed by, during whieh sho saw through llieopeningof Ihecavedistant lights amoug tlie trees.- When Cain saw them ho growled. A heavy stupor that was hardly sleep weighed upon Katey in spite of her anxiety. Mean¬ while tho night wore slowly away.
Suddenly Katey heard the lowgrowl- iug of thunder. She aroused herself aud listened. Leroux chanaed his posi¬ tion, muttering. Tho dog w'hined. Tho woods seemed silent aud forsaken now, as the storm gathered. Tlie gleam¬ ing liglits had disappeared. Nothing disturbed the gloom and stillucaa but the heavy roll of thunder aud the first faint nickering of tho lightening. Le¬ roux lay silentat tbe mouth of tlie cave, and Katey su.spectcd that he had fallen asleep.
If so she might escape but for the dog.   Tho storm was increasing, but she little feared that beside tho horrors of remaining  in   this  man's  hands. IIcV heart beat heavilj', as sho listened and believed she cmild hear Leroux's regular heavy breathing. Ilisinc softly she    stepped  cautiously  toward   the cave's   opening.   The    dog   crowled hoarsely.   Sho    paused.   She    heard Leroux get up.   She shrank baek. " Where aro you ?" he called. She dared not speak. " Where aro you ?" he called agaiu, in a more alarmed voice.
He spr.ang up, groped his way past her, and she heard him fumbling for a liglit. At that instant two consecutive Hashes filled the cave. The first stretched the great dog prostrate. The .second showed to Leroux tho desperate girl Hying out of his retreat. With an involuntary shout he sprang after Ler. Katey heard the shout. She knew that she was pursued; and iustead of rushing onward, she crouched dowu behind a clnoip of bushes, aud Leroux's Hying feet dashed past her. Here the rain came down upon her like a Hood. Showasshivering with excitement and apprehension. She knew not what course to pursue. AVliich way should she turn to hide from Leroux? Oh, if she could only find her horse! AVhat had become of him? Had ho been turned loose? If so, hebad gono home, and alarmed her mother with the ein|)ty saddle. She had no idea where she Avas.
Meanwhile the rain fell like a cata¬ ract, and the lightuiiig played arouud her. Suddenly she heard faint, distant shouts. .She fancied they called her name. -Was it.Leroux? No, it did not sohud like his voice. Could it bo some one iu seareli of her? With au invol¬ untary cry of " Uncle," she leaiicd to her feet.
The cry wiui answered by the eager whinny of her hoi-sc. Springing toward the .sound, she called, in a suppres.sed voice, " Cicsar! Cicsar!"
The animal neighed again, lower and ueaier. By the lightning's blue play she found hiin tied beneath a tree. Trembling and breatlile.'-s sho climbed into thosaddlc. Ucbad beeif lind liy the bridle, aud slie had been obliged to cut it with her pocket knife; but she managed to get control of the bit, and turueil his head away from the cave, and in the direct Ion of the shouls.
She could hear lliem quito plainly now, "Katey! Katey!" and there was auother voire inhigled with her uncle's. It Hashed upou her that Arthur Mooro hail also come iu search of her. If .she eonld only get to them! But she knew not which way to go. Ciesar kept constantly stopping anil turning into another path, as eager as herself to find the way liome. All tho jiattis were much choked hy branches of tho trees, hrokeii and prostrated by the storm. But in spile of tho difiiculties she was hoiieful uutil she heard the shouts re¬ ceding.
For the first time; she burst into te.ars. Her situation seemed too dreadful— alone, pursued, helpless and drenched by tlie storms of heaven. If she dared call! But that would guide Leroux to her. Suddenly she heard some one coming. A spasm of terror seized her. She sat motionless iu tho s.addle, un¬ certain whether to llj' or rush forward to her reseuens. But Ocsar's instinct was more true, He nllercd a ringing neigh.
"That's her horse! By heaven, we've found lier!" she heard a familai- voice sa.v.
And as two men issued from the brush, and by the breaking morning light she recognized her uncle and her lover, she rushed tumnllutiusly toward tlichi, and Was welcomed with such culhusiasin as two men might give when they had found a girl whom they had been seeking all night in a daiiger- ;ous storm.
"With a delicious sense of security surrounding her, she told her story. The two men conferred togctherl
"That'sohl jMr.Marlowe's murderer," said Uncle Silas Grey; "and no lime must be lost securing him.
"Ifow fiiraru we from home?" asked Katey.
"But a .short distance. Haifa mile perhaim.''
"Then lean walk, uncle; with you, and Arthur can taUo my horse' aud go instantly for the sheiifi'.' I think Le- rou.x will .soon begone, if nut immedi¬ ately taken; for, if iie does not find nie he will know that I have reached ray friends, and will spread the alarm."
"What a sound litllehe.ad itis'."' said her iiiicle, lifting her dowu while Arthur Moore sprang on Ciesiir's back. He g.'illoiipcd one way, Katey and her nude went anotlier. The latter reached home in safelj' before sunrise. Hermolherhad notsleptall night, and welcomed her child wilh uneontrolla- ble emotion. The sick child was better. It w.as nearly noon before Arthur Monro returned. They had had a hard tussle in securing Leroux; but he was at length overpowered by numbers. Tliere was no doubt that he w.as Mr. Marlowe's murderer; for nearly all the missing property wiis founil in his pos- sessiou. Six months later he was tried by law, found guillj-, and sentenced to execution.
About this limo, the cave where he had hidden was much visited. 31 also gained the title of The Murderer's Ee- t reat. Afler Leroux's death i t w.as said lo ho haunted bj- his spirit, and became a .shunned aud detested spot.
After Katey was married, and child¬ ren gathered around her, she often told of her remarkable adventure of a day aud a night.
AFTER MANY DAYS.
She knew it had become night, not a chirp of a bird -was: heard. Gradually aU ^e«ain« Wack, impenetrable, horri-
CoKSTAKcv.—A you ng British oflTicer in India, who was shockingly muti¬ lated and disfigured in battle, afler ma¬ ture rellectiou requested a comrade to write to his betrothed in England, and release her from her bridal engagement. Her noble reply was worthy of a true woman: "Tell him if there is enough of his body left to contain his sonii I Shall hold him to bia engagement,"
" Am I to understand, Herbert, that yon wish me not to dance again to¬ night?"
" Y'es, Adela—and certai nly, not wi th that stranger. It is late, too, and I promised yourfatherl wouldbringyou home in good time."
"Are j-oii going to dictate at what liour I should leave, as well as Willi whom I should dance?"
"JJictale" No, Adela; I merely ail- viseyou. But you havealready danced the entire evening, und .several of the ladies have retired."
" Tlien I am no lady. I thank you, Mr. Herbert Lcstir. Do net trouble yourself to wail. I shall return home when it is agreeable to me."
And tho handsome stranger coming up at that moment, Ailela took his of¬ fered arm, and tho next time Herbert beheld her, she waa Hying past him iu the mazy waltz.
" An encouraging prospect of domes¬ tic bliss, truly!" said Herbert lo him¬ self.
At length it tw« agreeable to Adela to return home, and sho signified her pleasure to her escort.
"It is rather late to-night, Adela, to enter into an explanation, but to-mor¬ row morniug I will call upon you."
And the following morniug Herbert did call, and how did he fiud Adela oc¬ cupied? Seated at her piano, running over the identical waltz which had been the subject of contention.
"Heartless, cruel girl!" thought Herbert.
" Adela," in as severe a tone as he could assume, "you are aware it is ar¬ ranged that our marri.age takes place in three months from this lime. I pre¬ sume that cnlllics me to demand some justification of your conduct."
" I deny your right to use such lan¬ guage, or such a tone iu addressing me, Mr. Lester, aud it is quite uunecessary to remind mo that I am about to ex¬ change freedom aud single blessedness, for the fetters of matrimony."
" Is it possible, Adela, that we ai-e unsuitedto each other?"
" Cest vrai,Monsieur." ("I'll briug him to ask my pardon," said sho to her¬ self).
" I fear that is so. Thank Heaven, it is not too late! Adela, I absolve you from every iiromise. Here isyour por¬ trait, whieh I return."
One glance at those aweet eyes might have unmanned him, so he laid it in ils littlo velvet case, upon tho table. Adela was startled. She had expected a p.as- siunatc appeal lo her love—to the happj', old days, wheu no cloud came between them.
" Do you wisliyouiiletters returned?" continued Herbert Lester. "No; burn them." " Very well; let mine have a aimilar doom. So perish every record of past folly. Farewell, Mi.ss Grahaiu. 1 wish you all happiness."
Adela felt as if she had been merely aeliug a part, and so she had—a part in tlie great drama of life. But now she waa alone, aud tho mask laid aside. She went lo her room lo collect every memento of Herbert, rrido had sus¬ tained her thus far, but he would never come again! She diil not burn his let¬ ters, hut sealed thoiu allupin one lurj;e envelope,'Slid wrote nponit " to bo de¬ stroyed."  .
Theu Adela sent a note lo a milliner and dressmaker, counleimaniliiigevery lireparatiou for the approaching mar¬ riage. And what did slie next? She laid down ujion her bed, and had a hearty, good cry, and finally fell asleep. "Dou't disturb the poor cliild," said Bliss Seliiia Graham, her father's sister, who lived with them, aud did her best tosjioil Adela. Dou't disturb her, for she cani'c home so lale."
.L>ut even the indulgent aunt w.as vexed when she found that the mar¬ riage, on which stie had set her miud, W!ts utterly broken oil'. Adela's father Was rather apathetic in the matter, for he did not wish to part from " his dear littlo girl," as he .always called his daughter. But there waa auother who would never forgive Adela—her brother Waller—the old classmate, the bosom friend of Herbert Lester. "Pylades and Orestes," "Damon aud Pythias," had been tho names befitowed upou thom wheu at school; and as they grew to manhood, the firm frieudship eom- inencod incarlyyouth, never decreased, though "Walter Graham had found new ties, for he had been married these threo years, and possessed a sweet, j'oung wife, and a little cherub of a child.
Herbert Lester went, no one knew whither—far away out west—to turn trapper, or hunt the •n'ild bullalo— auy life away from civilization and false woman's smile. And Adela, for a few weeks, attended every jiarty, and every picnic to which sho wius invited and then came home aud drew compari¬ sons betweeu her new admirers and the oue whom she had loat. Kinally, the gave up going out, and look a severe course of study, which, even if not better for her heart, certainly was for her head. But, oh! how fiequoutly Adela missed hira to whom she had turned iu every dilliculty.
"Herbert would have helped me," sho just breathed to liciself. "Yon great, darling encyclopedia! Y'ouknoiv everything? " she had ouce said to him. ¦ And so llie time passed away for oue long year; then Mr. Graham fell sick, grievously sick. After days aud weeks 'or"watehing, and of waiting," of hoping against hope, Adela w.as left fatherless, and well-uigh homeless, for, instead of the rich mau he waa supposed to be, Mr. Graham was fearfully in debt.
Walter eaine to settle up matters, from his home two hundred miles away, where he waa a kind of genlle- inan farmer upou a litllo estate of his own, and well it was that it had boon secured to hini! Likewise had Aunt Selina's sm.all income to herself. So Walter, afler pl.acing her where sho could board, aud enjoy the comforts to which .she had so long been accustomed, took his sister home with him.
" Carrie will be rejoiced to have you, dear Addie," said he, "only I hope the children will not worry you too much." Aud Carrie was rejoiced, and the children delighted, with " Auntie Ad¬ die," !Ls liltle three-years-old Lily call¬ ed her. The baby, too, (for there were now two children), soon knew and loved her.
And while Carrie aileuded to the eggs and the cream, aud the butler, aud the reariug of tho youug poultry, Adela took the care of the children ofi' her aisler-iu-Iaw's mind. She had lime, alao, for her studies, which she pursued earnestly; and save one never- lo-he-forgotten event, was h.appier than at any former period of hpr life. ,She was not much interested iu the neigh¬ boring families, so, of cour.se, was voted rather uusoeiable; but her deep mourning, and the recent death of her father, was admitted as an excuse for declining all visits.
A letter arrived one morning, which Walter Graham handed to his wife.
"Y'ou must accompany us, Adela," said he.   " We are invited to the AVll- . Uamson's."
"No, thahkyou, "Waller, itis a long way, and you will bo late X will re¬ main at home and I ike care of the children."-    ¦''"'
Itwas growing dark, Adela wasseat- ed 111 a low chair, with the baby iu her arms, aud little Lily standing by hor aide.
"One more fairy tale, aunty, please, and theu I will go to bed with Bertie." The tale was half told. "Auntie,"    whispered    the   child, "Ihere is some one in tho room."
"Excuse me, Madame: 1 did not liko to disturb you." Tlic wanderer had been enjoying the pleasant Jiomc pic¬ ture before him. "Caul see.Mr. Gr.a- liam?"
"Both ho and Mra. Graham are nut, sir. I do not expect them until late." "Thatis unfortunate; he could not have received my letter ; but I have walked a considerable distance from the depot, and will, if yon allow mc. wait his return."
Then tho baby woke up and began to cry. "Hush Bertie, dear." The traveler came forward. "I have uever seen my little name- s.ake. Letmerelieveyouof him—Adela Graham."'
She put back the bright waves of hair from her brow, aud gazed upon hiiu. "Herbert Lester.' " The same Adela?" " No, no! not the s.ame!   Adela Gra¬ ham has lost her vanity, her self-will, her love of pleasure—all she formerly possessed."
" Not all, dear Adela!—not Ihe love of one true heart. Ah! how little I dreamed of this blessed chance!"
There was so mucli to ask—so much toanswcr—the hours passed rapidly by. Adela had slipped from the room for a few minutes, and put her little, sleepy charges lo bed, and run into tho farm house kitchen to ask Cely, the colored woman, for a cup of her best coffee, and a plate of the home-inado bread and butter, which she carried in herself to Herbert.
At leugth the wheelsof thereturiiiug carriage wore heard; then Walter came in, dragging along a portemanleau, which he jirofessed to have found on the road. They had called at the do pot for it, aud lie and Carrie acted tho surprise they felt at beholding their unexpected guest.
"Oh, you two conspirators!" cried Adela. "I little thought wliat you were planning, this morning!"

"Do you wish tho portrait returned Herbert?" asked Adela, as, with a happy smile, she raised her eyes to his; for if J'OU do, you will have to beg for it."
"No, dear, I don't particularly care aboutit." He put his arm—his strong sheltering arm, around her slight form, "Y'ou may give it toanj'oneyou please fori shall have the original."

A STOEY FOK THE IITTIE FOIKS.
CARRIAGE HAXIKS.
A good wife ia the greatest caithly blessing.
' A mau is what his wife m.akes him. It_ia_tho^m<)!,he^who 'moulds  the character and-'destiiiy of the chihi.
Never mako a remaik at the e.xpeiiso of theother; it is meaiines.s.
Never part without loving words lo think of duriug your absence. Besides, it may lie that you will nut meet again iu life.
Never moot, even after brief separa¬ tions, wilhont a loving kiss. Kisses are the little links in the great chain of love which bind the laigo links moie^ firmly together. Never both manifest anger at once. Never speak uuihily loud to one another, uuless the house ison fire.
Never rellect on a p.ast action which was done wilh a good motive and with the best judgment at the time.
Let each oue strive to yield oftencst to the wishes of the other, which is the mutual cultiv.ation of an .ah.suhiteunsel- fishness.
Never find-fault, unless it is perfect¬ ly certain that a fault has been conr- mitted; aud cveu then preclude it with a kiss, and lovingly.
Never allow a request to be repeated. "Iforgot" is iieveran acceptable excuse. Marry iuto a dillerent blood and tem¬ perament from your own. "Uow Kently f-lides the mnrrhi^je 11 le away, When she who rules .still seenis but to obey !"
Bknkfits of Lauoktek.—Probably there ia not the remotest coruer or lit- tleinletof tho minute blood-vessels of the body that does uot feel some wave¬ let from the great conviilsiou produced by hearty laughter shaking the central mail. The blood moves more lively— probably ila chemical, electric, or vital condition is distinctly modified-con¬ veys a difi'erent impression to all the orgaus of the body, as it visits them ou tliat particular mystic journey, when the man ia laughing, from what it does at other times. And thus it is that a good laugh leugtheus a man's life by conveying a distinct .and .additional sliniulus to the vital forces. The time may come when physiciaus, alteuding more closely than lliey do uow to the innumerable subtle influences which tlie soul cxerls upou its tenement of clay, shall prescribe to a torpid patient "so many peals of laughter, to be uu- dcrgone at such .aud such a time," just as they now do that far more objection¬ able prescription—a pill, or an electric galvanic sliock; aud shall study the best and moat etfeetive method of pro. ducing the required effect iu each pa¬ tient.
Adjiikai. ExAMrLE.—George AVash- ingtou, when young, was about to go to sea as a midshipman; everything was arranged, tho vessel lay opposite to his father's house, aud the littlo boat had come to shore to take him ofi', and his whole heart was bent on going. After his trunk had been carried dowu to the boat, he went lo bid his mother fare¬ well, and aaw tears bursting from her eyes. However, liesaid nothing to her, but he saw that his mother would be distressed if he went, and jierliaps uever be happy again. He just turned round lo tho servant, and said, " Go and tell tht^m to felch my trunk' back. I will uot go away to break my mother's heart." His mother was struck with his decision, aud said to hira, " George, God has promised to bless the children that honor their parents, and I believe He will bless you."
Good Lakciuage. — Youug people should acquire the habitofcorrectspeak- iug aud writing, and abandon as early as possible any uso of slang words or phrases. The longer you put this oil; the more dinicult the acquirement of correct language ¦n-il be; and if the golden age of youth, the proper season for theacquisition of language, bo pass»d in ils abuse, the unfortunate victim will most probably be doomed to talk slang for life. Y'ou have merely to nse the language which you read, instead ofthe slang you hear, to form a taste in agree¬ ment with the speakers and poets in _    the.conntiy. ,',.>,;
TWO on THREI'! ODD FLSU. " Did you ever see a saw fish, Cousin Tim?"
"Did you ask ifl oversaw a sea fish?" replied Cousin Tim, absent- mindedly.
" Not saw a sea fish, but did you ever see asaW-fish ?" said Ella. " Of course you understood me well enough!"
" You ask me so many questions, no wonder I sometimes get a little confus¬ ed," laughed Coiisiu Tiiu.     " No, I dou't think I ever saw a saw-lish.   But I once saw the aaw of saw-lish, and right sawry I was I saw it!" " Come I'm not joking. Cousin Tim!" "Neither am I, Ella." " Then tell us about it," cried Bufns. "It was iu the hauds of a Feejee Islander," said Cousin Tim. ('What was?"
" The saw of the saw-fish I saw. We had landed for water, when the'canni¬ bals rushed upou us. They were armed with bows and arrows and .spears, and one—a sort of chief frightfully tattooed— brandished that interesting weapon. It was four or five feet long, and seven or eight inches broad; it looked like dried sristle, all but the teeth,—they were polished, bright aud sharp. The savage wielded itwilhboth hands, like ballle-axe, and swung it over my head in a very disagreeable manner. But it was ouly a friendly salutation after all. The cannibals had had the natructionaof someof ourmissouaries, and had come, not to kill aud eat ns, but to welcome us, and to trade with ns for trinkets."
"Oh! that all?" said Kufua, disap¬ pointed. " I hoped you were going to tell about a battle."
" I dou't waut to hear about fighting, or cannibals," said Ella. "Tell ua about the saw fish,—the aaw fi rst. Does it really grow out of tho fish's head ?' '•Y'es; it is a long, llattcned, bony snout. The teeth of a large-sized one are almost as broad and long as my thumb,—flat, of course, and pointed. I have seen ono that had fifty teeth,— twenty-live ou a side. They are not close together liko commou saw teeth, but are set in their sockets at a little distance from each other, perhaps an inch or two. The saw-fish grows to be fifteen or twenty feet loug, and the saw is a third part of hia length."
"Does he use it to saw thiugs ?" ask¬ ed Ella.
"Not exactly; but it is a terrible weapon when be strikes with it. It i( fl.itlcued horizontally, the teeth are on the outer^edges,^ and he goea tlirough the water btiicking to the right and left,wilh thera;killiugany amaller flah at it blow.'^^,Thorois no truth whatever iu"th'e''old-stoiies that he sometimes Wvs ships'in two iu order to devour the ci'ows."  . -
-4"! should thiuk uot!" said Eufiis. .'iBut'I'vo lieard of his striking ships liiid driving Ins saw clear through their timbers.",
J'^l'hat often happens, and itshows the tic'mendous power of thotish, consider- lug that his aaw is uot pointed at the end, bnt rounded. I was in a ship once that was struck,—not by a saw-fish ex¬ actly, but by asword fish. We thought wc had struck a rock. Ouly one old sailor aaid it was a fish; aud, sure euough, wheu the ship was hauled up for repairs, there was the sword broken oUr in the frame. It had gone through the ship's skin or outside planks, and half-way through a heavy oak limber, where it stuck."
"What do the foolish fellows pilch iuto ahipa for?" Bufus inquired.
" Bolli the sword-fish and thcaaw-fiah are fighting uharactci's ; they have au ancient grudge against whales,—es¬ pecially the whalebone whale,—aud probably take tho'great hull of a ship for some animal of that sort.
" I ouce aaw a fight between asword- fish aud a whale," Cousin Tim wentou, " and a strange sight it waa. We first saw tlie whale making a great commo¬ tion iu the water; I did n't know what to think of it, for I was a greenhorn then, but the knowing ones decl.ared that a sword fish was at him. Twice the whale dove to a great depth, as if to get rid of his furious assailant, and, coming up, .sjiouted tlie water iu two fiashing fiinutains,—"blowing," as the sailors s.ay. The second time ho came up so near our ship that we saw the fish dart his sword into his side. Once the fish, miaaing hia atroke, sprang clear outof the water aloogaido the whale. It seemed lo be the whale's object to strike him with his tail, a good fair blow from whicli would have ended tho battle; aud iu trying to do that ho tum¬ bled about tremoudoiisly, lashing tbe .sea into foam." "Which whipped?'' cried Ilufus. "I uever kuew. Aa we pasaed on our course,auddenly tlic whale dove, and wo saw neither of them any more."
"What is the difference between the sword-fish and the saw-fish?"
"They belouR to two diflTerent fish families. The aword-fl.sh is like the mackerel, only very much larger; the saw-lish is something between the sliarks and the rays. They resemble each other only iu the long projection of the bones of the upper jaw. The sword-fish's weapon is more pointed than that of the saw-lish ; as ils name implies, it is a sword aud not a saw.. I've seen one five feet long, taken from a fish measuring sixteen feet from tip to tip.
"The sword-fish is considered good eating, and on some coasts tho people make a husinessof catching him. He is seen pursuing schools of mackerel, generally swinimiug with his broad dorsal or back fiu out of water. He is hunted wilh harpoons,—asortof whale- fishing ou a small scale. The man at the masthead calls out to give notice when one appears; a boat is seut iu eha.se of him; the crew pull up as near to him as possible, when the bowsman strikes him with a light harpoon. .Sometimes there is a struggle, aud he is killed ou the spot. But when there are others iu the vicinity, the fisher¬ men leave the harpoon slicking into him; there is a rope fastened to it, of course, and to that they attach an empty cask, which they aet afloat. The cask holds the fish, and tires him out, for as often as he draws it under water up it bobs again, and he cannot tow it so far but tbe fishermen can find
after having beeu ofT and secured per¬ haps half a dozen other flsh in the same way. He is dangerous game, however, and ho sometimes pierces or upsets a boat before he Is killed. Sword- fish are taken with harpoons both in the Mediterranean and on the coast of New Euglaud; the fishermen of Mar¬ tha's Vineyard in some seasons take large numbers of them."
"O, that must be great sport!" ex¬ claimed Rufus. "What a silly fish to swim with his back fin out of water!"
"The dorsal fin of all sword-fishes is very high and conspicuous, and there is one species in which it is extraordin¬ arily developed. It is a tropical fish, found chielly in tho Indian Ocean. It grows to bo twenty feet loug, and ILs dorsal fin is five or six teet broad, ex¬ tending all along tho baek. It opens like a huge fan; aud old salts say the fish uses it as a sail, in fair winds. Hence ils popul.ar names, —'fan-fish,> or 'sailor-fish.' The fiu is of a deep blue color.
"The common sword-fish ," added Cousin Tim, "is very dark blue above, and .silvery white below ; aud he is a rough,- viciou.s-looking fish."—Oio- Young Folks.
Self-Tauoiit.—Many men are said to be self-taught. No mau was ever taught in any other way. Do yon sup¬ pose a mau is to be a bucket to bo hung ou the well of knowledge and pumped full? Man is a creature that learns by the exertions of his own facullies. There are aids to learning of various kiuds; but no matter how mauy of these aids a man uay be surrounded by, after all, the learning is that which he acquires himself. And whether he is in college or out of college, iu school or or outof school, every mau must edu¬ cate himself. Aud in onr times and in our community every man has the means of doing it.
TiiKEE Livi-a.-All really great and honest men may bo said to livo three lives; thereis one lifo which is seeu and accepted by tlie world at large, a man's outward life; there is a second life, which is seeu by a man's most In¬ timate frieuda, hia houaehold life; and there is a third life, seen only by the man himself and by Hira wlio searcli- eth the heart, whicli may be called the inner or Iieavenly life.
