It seemed tome, however, low they spoke together, I always heard what tliey said; whatever glances passed' betwefeh them passed thirdughm!/eye balls; every touch of her hand on his arm thrilled me. And yet our oiitward relations .were un- ichapged. He was, so far as other peo¬ ple could see, thesamegeutle, consider¬ ate Ipver, who sprang to fulfill my un¬ expressed wishes, and, distinguished nie by his graceful homage before the world as the woman of his choice. It was as yet only what'a Woman's quiclc ihtullio'ns cSn feel, riot what friends can pity her for; tad'Avilh iiiy pewly THE MAN I'DID HOT HAEEY. I think that her ultimate destiny as somebody's wife is one of the earliest, impressions received by the feminine soul. Is not our tender infancy one prolbiiged series of bridal processions, where dolls in white satin dresses and veils marry dolls in dress coats and boots to-day, and are not those same boots and coats mated afresh with other satins and veils to morrow ? And from these early antitypes of disinterested' maternal diplomacy we pass easily to specalatlon upon our own possible future. I distinctly remember that at six years of age I had firmly resolved that nothing should induce me to marry Tommy, the eon of our next door neiglibor; for Tommy was greedy, and refused to share with me a beautiful cocoanat cake with a red centre, for a taste ofi which my mouth watered; and when I said with tears in my voice, "Please, Tommy, just a little bite," Tommy'made a derisivegesture (knoWn to boys) with his nose and thumb, and holding the einpting morsel just out of my reach, asked in withering accents. ¦Will yuo have it now or wait till you get it?" No, I never would marry a greedy. I still meant to marry somebody,- however; but my somebody wag along time in growing up to man's, estate.— He passed . through many, stages; migrated into as many forms as a Hin¬ doo's soul; and in proportion to the amount of incense poured at each shrine, wais the loathing which ensued when the smoke, blew away and I saw of what cheap material my idol was made. At fourteen I went to dancing- school with George. George was ahead taller and three years older than my¬ self; so I looked up to him as a man; he knew Latin, so I reverenced him as a sage. George always danced with me, and I lent him my seal ring to wear. I declined dancing with the small i)oys, and pincb'edmy feetalmast numb tbat he might compliment me on my beautiful little bronze boots. . But' one day George gave me back my ring saying he was afraid he might lose it, "Oh, np matter it yoii. do," I replied, feeling it would be happiness to have my ring even lost by George. But n .; besaid, "I think I won't keep it any longer, Ellie.'' He did not ask me to dance.agaiu that day, and he danced four limes with Daisy Jones, a new girl and a very pretty one; I turned my back hair to them, and hummed a second to the fiddlers very loud when they passed me; bnt my heart sank down into my little bronze boots, till they—or it—or both—it was all so dread¬ ful 1 don't remember which—ached to bursting. I stayed out the lesson; George should never suppose I cared whether be danced with Daisy Jones all night; but gradually George came down off the shrine, and I got a severe fit of celibacy, which lasted with oc¬ casional intervals for several yeara. 't ¦ should never marry. Men were frivo¬ lous ; easily beguiled by meretricious appearance. No one worthy of the priceless treasure of my aflfectlons Wduld be likely to discover their existence.,: I waa "the violet by the mossy atone."—;' Bome day all these nieh, who thoiight me severe, sedate, slow, sbouid be crushed into longing admiration, and completely overwhelmed by a revela¬ tion of my manifold' uhappreciated virtues. But my fit of celibacy passed like thja others; it thawedi if-I must confess it, nnder the sunshine of* a* young man's smile; andi went as girls so often gd' from one rattreiiie,to another,' and from being cold, dignified, reserved, iieoame, tbrough tbe mysterious alcbemy of this sunshine; a little volatile perhaps gay and.Iight-h'earted.

Cleopatra; thouglit ide worth cultivating, and imperceptibly we glid¬ ed into ashbw of friendship. I some¬ times tliought she liUed me to be seeii beside her as a foil to her.own brilliant .Oriental oliarms. My f6axou complex¬ ion and tawny h^jr. made a back-grouud against which she shone more respleiir deutly, and.she liked the whisper of "Nigbtand Morning," as we appeared together; Yet there was no sympathy |iand no real intimacy betweeu us; but by carclessly'WOven threads Cleopatrh. established, it^'semblance t'6 suit at first; a wiiim'of h'er vanity, and afterwards a purpose wliich took sliape in her way¬ ward l^raiu,and stubborn will, ily.Cpusifl jPhiiip ,wiis a siugularly [jhandsomeman.and quite conscious of his advantages as singularly handsome fmen, who: bav6 dallied through many seasons in tbe far nientc ofdrawing- |-robm life, are apt to become. And yet one could-hot call iiim "vaiii. A -sense of his advantages,'personal and intellectual, gave hiiii a rather noble cfiarity for what, lu his lordly way, he ; no doubt classed as the ordinary lierd of mortals. It was simply no case, for comparispn, sp he always feund some¬ thing tpilikeor commend in others. But he was indolent and quite content with the applause of what he chose- what in those days we both cliose—to ;call "this world," liihiting that term, after the fashion of our caste, to the |;elect who wore the purple and the line linen oif fortune's providing, Aud I was used to Phil jp;. his worldly wisdom was the sort of wisdom I liad, grown up to believe in.. He was far cleverer thau any mau I knew. He had plenary in. duigence to gather honey from nny flowers that pleased him, and I, in the freshness Of' happy girlhood and gUar- anteed liberty, with the bond between us understood and accepted, gave my¬ self to the enjeymeiit of life as it was. On a rainy morning Philip would enter¬ tain me in his own irresistible waylwith sayings ahd doings of last week or fort¬ night; and sometimes moonlight made us sentimental, and he dropped into j;ppetry and praised my eyebrows in well chosen quotations. In short, we isuited one another, and had so thor¬ oughly accepted our position as future husband and wife, that our d.iys glided by undisturbed by even lovers' quarrels. Perhapsit was this that drifted into my miud oue d.iy, as we idled away the sunny morning beside a brook in the country. " Philip," said I to the great hand¬ some figure behind a cloud of smoke at ;my feet; " it seems odd that we never quarrel. We scarcely disagree euough to make our relations interesting." I "Name the subject, my dear girl," he lazily rejoined; "I'd even quarrel with.you fora quiet.life. What shall it be? The.whole sweep of nature and 'art, besides the fruitful field of our mu¬ tual acquaintance, is open for discus¬ sion. Shall it be your antipathy for Offenbach? I will defend him with all the obstinacy of ignorance and tho persistence of a devotee; you shall de¬ clare him a degrader of your sublime art, a demoralizing agent, a tresspasser iu the temple of the Muses. Not OfTen- bach ? Well suppose we try the dark- eyed daughter of the gods, wlio you say gives you moral chills and fever." " No," I interrupted," " we will not talk about her here; she is a being of the city and city life. Nature aud Cleopalra are not of kin;" and I pitched pebbles into the brook and mused a little, my musing being no deeper than the water and very com¬ monplace. This brook just babbles along, careless and merry. When it gels to be a river its merry babble is lost, but tbe noise the river malies is a rush and a roar—it is swollen by storms, it is angry wben the wind arises; it is so deep that it becomes-a powers At this point I threw a pebble a iitUe wistfully aud rose. . ' ' .." "Tired so soon, my blossom ?" asked Philip, lighting a fresh cigar. "I could lie here very comfortably all day, with ybur profile agaiust the clear blue yon¬ der to look at,' and'Ihe tinkle oftlie water to drive tjull'ca're'away." . I', What does "tiie water say to you, Piiiiip ?" I asked, with just a slight, unusu trials of uneasiness. He murmured gayly: , " 'TIS well to beinerry nnd glad, . 'Tis well to be hpnesL and true." Tlie .monotonous murmur of lliat bropk had put me sadly out of tune, for I sho,ok off the arm he had passed around my waist, with the llrst stiug of wpmanly pain I had almpst ever felt, and repeated the- remaining couplet: .*• Tis well to bo ofl" with the old love Before you are on with the new."

As I entered the drawing-.room one afternoon an opposite door closed upon some retreating figure, whose form I did not see, but the lingering sowpoonof jes¬ samine would have told Ihe had I needed otherevidence then'that of my' cousin's face as he stood by the' w'ih-^ dow.' A atraggliug sunbeam iit it up, and I thought it had: never worn -^sOch depth of expression. He looked as if ihe had been moved to tbe bottom of I'hissoul.- - : ; - - , - . '"Alone?" I asked, as I passed liim. I wns curious to know what he would s^y- ...... '.'.You leave me very much alone of late, bellissima," he said, not turning bis face from the window. 'I i can scarcely tbiukyou suffer from neglect;" I rejoiued somewhat grimly ; " I hope you contrive to aniuse your¬ self," and .I'ould have passed on, but Philip turned siidde.nly, aud seizing jbotli my hands in liis, glared down into my eyes with a look of suppressed euibtion whicli:almpst scorched, mc, while he asked me witb a feverish in¬ tensity of tone: "Tell me, cousin, do you love me truly? Do you Ipve me with'all yeur heart?" ¦ His grasp tightened tp. a grip pu my wrists; with a littlecrypf pain I shook mj'sel f free. As I did so my eye fell on a yellow resent my feet. I remembered that Cleopatra had worn it in her, hair an hdiir before. I silently pickedlt up and presented it to my epusiu; as aileut- ly and with a passive hnnd lie received it, and I left the room. Ishnt myself into my own room and determined to look the'crisis in the face. Np man slipuld ask ms twice in tli'aittone whether I loved him; rather let him ask at once the question thnt lurked beneatli, " Would it break your heart to give me up?" I looked, into I, my own he.art nnd discovered some things which surprised, mo, not being mticii given to introspection. The re- suit was, of course, a foregone conclu¬ sion, but the examination of those past yearsof my life wiis a revelatioubf iny- self to myself. I found a very bitter, vengeful hatred toward the woman who had broken down my paradise;. The intensity of my hate toward hei* frightened me. My pride, which had never been disciplined, was outi-aged to such a point, that for hours I paced the room uuable to control myself, and it wns long before I began to understand my position and to- ask myself the question, " Have I really lovea Philip?" I had neverlpved any one else,so I had nothing W'ith which tc compare this sentiment that had been accepted as love. But sitting thinking in. tiie dark, I was little by liltle forced to the con¬ clusion that "it Was nptabi:oken heart I had to mourn over,. but. a broken dream." I had infinite tenderness for my cousin, but many a vague appre- henslon of times past, which had been cast out as unworthy, came back aad took shape and asserted itself; and bit¬ terer and more poignant that the tor^ meuts of jealous rage or the humilia¬ tion of wounded self-love,'wa9the con¬ viction that I could not love, had not ' loved iPhilip'with the best part of my Inature. I didnot sit in judgment on my cousin, but the truth forced itself on me with irresistible power. Tlie liouse w-as qtliet fur the night when he stole through the deserted passages to the great piazza which sur¬ rounded three sidea^f the main build¬ ing. My head throbbed, and tbe cool night air refreshed my excited frame. I paced up and down, growing calmer in mind and body, and at last, tired, threw myself into a chair and leaned my head aguiust the stone coping of window. I had sat for sbme moments unconscious of anything but the chaotic monotony of my own miud,when Phil¬ ip's voice, speaking in low agitated tones, made itself audible. "I should be less a man were I to take advantage of her momentary pique. I believe she loves me, aud cost what it may—and you know the cost—I .must fulfill my engagement." "Yea, believe me, your.suffering in¬ tensifies my owu," rejoined Cleopatra's isibilant voice,'"and' the sympathy draws us nearer even than the aocom-, pliahmentof our wishes. "But,"'she added, after an iustanps pause,,' " I think you deceive yourself somewhat. jYour cousin has little depth of feeling, 'and what would be a life-long sorrow to many women would not sink deep into her heart. Do you know, my friend, those bloude women do not love, as we do. Nay, I liave piqued you! She loves you, no doubt,, to, the extent of her nature; but her blood is to mine what eau sua:ec is to eau-derpie. Sliould you care much for an unlimited amount- of eau stierce ? She would love no bet^ ter thau she loved you. She would he an immaciilate matron, a true and vir- fnbus wife, a lovely figure head for your dinner table, and the mother of iin'ex- ceptionable children. But I, Philip," aud I could feel how she leaned towrard him and dropped the liquid passion of hereyes into his, ''I would give ypu theleve your, soul demands.

For the honor' of my sex I ani'gliid to be'abletb say that Cleopatra was dJs- cbhcerted'. ''Eveh the consummate'tac'fc arid rca'difieS^ were for once at fdiiit; though whether she regretted my out¬ raged hospitality; or.its inopportune discovery, is nota matter for me to de-^ cide. However, she gracefully convert¬ ed a-yawn intp a smile,''and with a liarting thrust at the era'barrassnlent of interfering iu f'amiiy disseisipus, bade us gppd-night with the utmpst iSweetnes3,>nd retired. The mpyebierit kiiecked the bauble frbm my hand and 'it rolleii glittering on the pavement to Philip's feet. When a scarcely sup¬ pressed path he raised his ppwerful fppt land ground it with his heel against the stone, and then kicked off tho flattened 'fragmeutson tiie grass and then our eyes met. " Even so, Philip, let the ipast be thrust out of sight.. It has been ia great mistake, and I,, am rensouabie enough to acknowledge it; the great¬ ness of your temptation. Por the fu¬ ture I will try to forget pur temporary ;delusion." '' I cannot even ask you to forgive ime, Elinor," Philip at last said, witha visible effort; "neither will I ask you not to despise trie; I understand too well your capacity for contempt, and my'bwn desserts." ', ; "Nay, Philip," and i am afraid the smart of my wound made my voice riug somewhat sliarp and bitter, "mau is but mbrni; I do uot expect chivalry from caipet-kniglits." He winced, but made uo reply; and I, witli my wretcli- ed woman's weapon v/hetted on both sides,'still i)rObed tlie wound. "I am a proud Woman, Piiilip, imd llie pride you Iiave wounded will be ils owuaufo- guard." "I am glad you imve so secure a re¬ fuge," lie rejoined dryly. The tone re- ealled me tu my better .couacioiisuess. ¦ "Forgive me; I did not mean to re- proaeh you. Ijct us say an amicable good-night and begin acaiii nsaeciuaint- ances—cousins —perhaps even as ¦friends." After a moment's hesitation he said: "I have no riglit, I know, to ask ypu any qustions; but if I am to accept your forgiveness, I should like to Iiave one point made quite clear. I aiii perhaps obtuse in not accepting your tacit ac-. knowledgemeut of tlie stale ofthe case; but I might feel a shade less culpable toward you were I to ask the ques¬ tion." He looked at me inquiringly, and I motioned him to proceed. "Has this wound—such you have called it"—he spoke slowly—" cut no deeper than your pride?" I could net speak. Two scalding tears forced themselves from my eyes, and in shame I bovered my face; for througli the unspeakable teuderness without ;whieh ,1, even now, cannot think of my cousin, I felt that the true love a man.has tbe right to demand from tbe woman who consents to be his wile had never been given to him. " It is enough," said Philip coming close to me and removing my hands that he might study my face for a mo¬ ment; and had I been less humiliated; I might have drawn comfort from the intense mortifloaltiou of his tone. " At least I have not to repent haviug broken a woman's heart — if women have hearts," he added, bitterly, "and if they are made to break. But," ho continued more gently, " I must ask you to. be¬ lieve that I never intended te deceive you." "As for all that, I think-we may cry quits, Philip!" I interrupted. "We bave deluded ourselves, aud all that is left for us is to depart iu peace ;" and as he held my hand amoment, and we stppdlopking sadly at oue another iu the truth-teiiing moonliglit, the ghosts of our wasted youth rose up between us with ali the undeveloped possibili¬ ties of our lost years; he in liis godlike strength and beauty, purposeless and effemiuated; and I, with the rich dower of vigorous womanliood, selHsh, frivo¬ lous, and aimless. So fur we had both missed the use and lueauing of our lives. Wiiich should cist stones at Ihe other? He raised my hands to his iip.'i, and turned sorrowfully into tlie house, leavimrh'itu to his own leUebtions. It was:late the next morniug:wlien I opened my eyes afler a heavy ami uu- refreshing.alumber. A m;iid .stood at !tbe bedside witii a letter. As I tore it open a telegram fell out, directed to Philip ; on'tlieback of it ho^ had writ¬ ten; "This will explain ray liasty de- .partiire." The telegram contained these words:- ."Your mother is danger¬ ously iil; come atouce." ; A few iiburs later Cleopatra too took ;lier departure. We shook hands as jcoiirteously before the assembled hquse- |hold,;and she made her adieux witli as |iassured a grace, as if her visit Iiad been one of unmixed satisf-ictiou—as pos¬ sibly It had been to her. For the next few days the accounts of my aunt's in¬ creased illness were so alarming that my guests, with a consideration I could not but too highly apjpreciale, relieved me of th'eir jprtsence. Indeed, it was with'tbe utinost effort that I could dis¬ charge my sbcial duties respectably; and I could:npt but feel a little wholesome solitude as a relief .after the proipnged and subdued excitement cf the : past weeks. I was tpo wearied iuminil and body to apply myself to anything.

A. telegram containing only the :words, "Comeimmediately, or.you'may lie loo late,", seemed so imperative tliat I i felt the bond of cousinship' was strong enough to warrant rae in put¬ ting aside every otiier consideration. Tlie houre I was forced to Vi-iiit' liefore the arrival of the train seemed iiiler- ininiible; aud tbe pace at which we travelled was exasperating. It was dusk wheu I reached the house.

He look off my wraps with'the utmost geutleuess and placed me in a great chair, aud still holding iny haiid looked dowu wistfully iuto my face. I cpiild uPt bear his teuderness and made a motien tPrise. "Do not Iryto go up¬ stairs till you are rested, my love;" he said kiudly.. "Thedelay only mnkes itmore painful," I rejoined, weaiilj'; "let us go at once." He did not at¬ tempt to detain me again, but went up¬ stairs before mc, paused an instant at !lliedoor as he opened it, and with a 'soft "God pity you, my ppor child," closed it again. I gave one quick glance around the room. It was bright with gaslight. The windows were open to admit tho chill uight air, a heavy perfume of flowers smote my senses wilh a sicken¬ ing dread. Philip was there; biit Philip marble-white iind cold, without voice pr language., Philip was dead. Under tbe white sheet wiiich cpvered the bed was sharply defined a huran;n figure. In a sert pf dream I moved to¬ wards it, and in a sort pf dream drew the sheet away frpm the head, and withput tears or much consciousness of what I was doing, looked loug at tbe beautiful marble face. Death had stepped into the breach. Our farewell had been a farewell,for¬ ever.

Fair specimen of the "light litera¬ ture" of theday: "The intense agony you witnessed, the prophetic words' of utter wretchedness failed lo unite your destiny with Ernest's future;.the nipst fearful results predicated upon refusal failed to influence you; hisheartisnow wrecked and can bear any naisfortune." Who can read the foregoing and not have his pr her tender susceptibilities racked and tern and suffused with met- aphprical hemprrhage, pr any pther rage? An impatient Welshman called tchis wife, "Come, come, isn't breakfast most ready? I've had nothiug since yester¬ day, and to-morrow will be the third day!" This is equal to the call or the stirring housewife, who aroused her maid at four o'clock with, "Come, Bridget, get up! Here 'lis Monday morning, to-morrow is Tuesday, the next day's Wednesday—half the week gone and nothing done yet P' An indolent youth being asked why he was so shamefully fond of his jiil- low, to the manifest injury of his rep¬ utation, replied—I am engaged every morning in hearing coiinsel. Industry and Health advise ine to rise, Sloth and Idleness to lio still; and they give tlieir reasons at lengthy pro and eoa.. It is ray part to ba strictly imp'artial, and to hear with patience what is said on both sides, and by the time the case is fairly argued, dinner is generally ^h the table.

"Ah, mpii," repliedDpnald, "nne vera weel either, but was muckle better off than the bug»?..!Jeil: a .one o' them cloaedian e'e the whole nicht.'.' In some of the - equatorial islands friends recognize each' other not by shaking hands, .but by pulling the nose. This wouldn't do in' a cold climate, nor among a passionate peo¬ ple, like New'York city, for instance. A kind-hearted contemporary thinks it must be horrible on the battle-field "to hear the stilled groans of tliedying and the woeful.afarieka.of the dead." An Irish' schbblmaster recently in¬ formed his pupils that tbe feiiinine gender'should be applied to all ships and vessels sifloai, except mail steamers or raen-of-'HJar. „ ,,; ' ' If yfjii w^'nt.tb. find out a man^ real jdisBbsUibn, ,ia^e ;him;;wh^n^^ W^i h,Wi!fy«, M:'ie,i8,ani^b}a;th^ii', dij ; .

It did niDt seem to lie in his heart to behave well, and tP speak kindly.

"She toldTrie to .tell yoii that you were welcome (o them;" said ho, with au air that seemed tp aay, " 0, alu't we clever folks!" I said I was much obliged, and I did hope. I qoiild dplher a favor sometimes. "You look ticed," I remarked, "sit down aud rest. Natty." "I am very tired," said he; and he sat dowu and rested his hands on his lipees after the fashion of an old man eighty years of age, and he breathed a long-drawn, groany "Ho-hoo!" "The basket wasvery; very heavy," said he; and he surveyed it even as a weary tourist wpuld survey the me un- tain tpp above him. " Iram sorry you got so tired," said I; " I'd rather pay youfor bringing the to" matoes than uot, then I'd feel better." " Mother told me not to take any pay. She said you sent her a basketful of roasting ears, once, and a dozen early cucumbers at another time, and once, wiien she was sick, your papa brought her a couple of the flnest melons she ever saw; then you .know you divided your Rose Chrysanthemum witn her, and your choice Hbwer seed, and she's glad to give you something. S'pect If ypu did pay me anything she'dbe mad about it; I don't know ; she gets pretty gritty sometimes and cufl's me and sis right and left; but then we've got so used to it we know how to manage her.

I catch a little shbrt.bfeatb, and make her think that it's'nearly the last; and I double up my legs, and T make crooked mouths, and bjg.eyes, and.jerk aijout.over the Uopr as if I had a fit.

You are deceiving your mother, and laying the fon'ndation for a low,'mean chiiracter; and ypu are teaehiug.your little sister to be just as bad. Itis nothing to laugh at.

" If ypu'U tryjBud be a good bpy, I'll give you oneof Fred's as sppu aa I get thrpugh. canning," said I, tired pf his hinting and prevaricating.

": Are.ypu nearly, through ?" After.a while I went and hunted up a yarif'stpcking, and gave it to him ; then I had tp stop, and start it to ravel¬ ing, and e^ery time the thread would break, I would :have to go and make it ;all riglit for him.' When he was ready to wind it, he,called out, withput a bit pf that pretty polite way that nearly all little bpyti bave. •'Gp^nd.get me a lump of rubber to put in tlfe.oiiddle of it." '' Natty,", I said," you must net talk- to anybpdy, very especially to a woman, in that bold haughty, domineering way ; why, a good boy would not speak thus to bis cator hisdog. If you would talk that way to our:dog, he'd hang his tail, and,drppp,his,head, or. sneak his eygs up at yen, to see whetheryou were really a bpy or some kind of monkey, that didn't knpw right frpm wrpng. I like polite children. Npw try spme Pther.way of aaking me, and see if I understiand it," "Please.ma'am, will yuu.give me a lump, of rubber?" said be, looking up with a very satisfied air. "WeU," said I, "that sounds as though you bad learned it outof a book, or was speaking-in public—a kind of form, like 'Know all- men by these pres¬ ent?.' I should think; by the way you said it, thatyou were not accustomed to polite ways. It is no more a part of you, the boy Natty, than is the button on your shirt collar. Try it- again: think nbw, yoii are a little boy, and that I am'aniioiis you should become a good man; and all these things." A liglit camb into the boy's rouni] faee'as he sat there looking down athis little mud-stained feet that crept over each other like two little puppies, crawling this way and that way, and at last he'looked up with a tender sweet¬ ness in his shamed face, that made it seem reallj* prettytas he aald in a low voice '-'Auntie, if you've time would you please to get ine that bit of rubber now ?" "Indeed I will. Natty dear," said I. " That waa so kindly and so sweetly spoken, and I would be proud of you every day, if you'd cultivate that way of speaking. Your voice is a good one, and soft aud musical, and if you would cultivate your heart, and teach it to be kind, your voice would always be sweet." While I was helping him make his ball, we talked in a very friendly way, and I was interested in his liltle ram¬ bling chatter so mucli that sometimes I felt like turning away to laugh. " Oue way ot beiug polite," I said, " is to associate with polite children, good, kind-hearted little boys and girls. No w I like Fioatie Jph nspn very much, for a little girl friend," said I," Float is a real womanly child." " Last Sabbath when the rewards were to be distributed, and the teachers gathered all the little ones, whose teach¬ ers were absent, into their classes, I saw Cousin Nancy go to a little, wild-look¬ ing girl, a stranger who lives,.over in Raccoon Hollow, and invite her to coine and sit wi th her class so she would not feel like a stranger. The poor child had on an old, faded, muggy-looking dress, that lapped away over and was fastened with two pins; a great big bonnet of shirred, black silk, with a filmy greeu vail spread over the top of it; her drawers came to her ankles, and had wide ruifies on them, and her shoes looked as if they belonged to a big burly boy—that kind of a bov who cannot pass a puddle without jumping into it, and making a splash np on his clothes. Her eyes were downcast, and a sad gray, and her thin face was as speckled as a trout. "Nancy tock the little blue hand in hers, and said, 'Hpw dp ypu dp, sissy ? I am very glad tp see yen. Are yen well, dear? I want ypu to come and sit in my class; there's just room for one more little girl.' " The shy child rose, and Nancy led her to her seat, and as soon as the schol¬ ars saw her coming, Fioatie got up and smiled, and made room beside her. The other girls could hardly keep back a smile, the little stranger looked so fun- | ny, almost as unlike other children as! though she had just arrived from another planet." " Now Natty," I said, " Float showed real politeness; don't you tliink she was very kind and good ?" " Yes," said ho, " Float's a regular little captain." "O uo," I answered, "just a little lady—a noble, little woman." "WeU then what?" hitching up a good deal nearer to my chair ; tell me the rest of it," said he. "I was sitting behind the children, and could hear every word, aud I heard Fioatie say: 'I wish you could be in our class every lime, 'cause eur teaclier is such a gppd one, and I know we'd all like you. I believe I never saw you before. My bome Is just over across the field; is yous far away ?" The poor little child stuck her thumb into her mouth and twisted her feet one over tlie other, and said from put pf the depths of the cavernous, black silk bonnet, 'I always lived at the poor 'ouse, but now I'm gbing to live at Daniel Jones', and tend their baby, and then, if I'm agood girl, they're going to buy me a new, pin k calico dress, and a bat, with a ribbpu and bpw and feathers on it, and shiny shpes, and lets p' things. Gran¬ ny, she gave me a new Testament al ready, witli a snapper on it that makes it shut up so it can't come open and lose out my keard and picture.' "Beally, the little face grew very bright and pretty, aa she'leaned over and talked to Float. I felt very mqch interested. Float asked her if tbe baby she bad to'tend Was fat and heavy "^nd cross, "Ono," she replied, "heIs just as sweet as a candy heart, and he loves me so tbat he will reach up and grab both ofhisdearlittle hands full of my bair, and then he will jump and act as if be were driving a team of horses. He wiil stand up and call out, .'He-hp!' like men do when they are making new barns.-; And h«r-cancidl tbe cow, ud(ir^'(yii be.tries;tiilmake a month 'to wiUatielrbr'tiie d^^ he 'don' piiclcei-. 6, ,ttii»cii]inlngeit. -And Ua tit, zed Ilpa a're sweet as any rosy in the .garden.'—' And then' the newly-bbrii little waif tjied'to siipw Flpatie what kind pf a nibuth he made when he pitied felks, and Flpat cpuldn't keep frpm laughing behind her Testament. When the gifts were distributod, Nancy gave the child a little, red bound book, and it made her so rich and radiant and joyful, that I couldii!t help looking around. over the house, and seeing the rest of ybii dawdling your gifts in your laps, yawn;- ing, and gaping about over your slioul- ders. " I mean to find but more about the little one from tbe poor house, and then some time I will tell you all about her. But I only meant now to tell you wliat I thought was one of the most hearty and beautiful examples of true polite¬ ness I ever saw, I allude to Floatie's conduct. Make her one of your associ¬ ates. Natty, aud she will do you good. But now I must put, on the teakettle, and make biscuit for tea. I hope the next time you come I will not have to lecture you on politeness or anything else. So come again, dear, and now kiss me good bye;" This is the-way I visit.with the little ones when they come to see me, and wealways liave such good timea to¬ gether. BATS.

In a recent number of Applelon's Journal, Professor'Schele de Vere says: Among the prejudices cherished by tbe masses against liarmless animals, few are stronger than that felt almost uni¬ versally against bats, arising probably from the simple fact that they are chil¬ dren' of the night aud forced to carry their search for fpod in the darkness. It may be, however, that their pecu¬ liar hideousness lias given additional strength to this feeling, for the Jewish legislation already declared tiiem un¬ clean and accursed, and theGreeks bor¬ rowed their wings for the harpies, as Christians, have done for tiie devil. A poor, lost bat need but fly into a room filled with company, and everybody is frightened. Superstitious people tremble at their mere presence as du evil omen, and the strpug-minded among the fair excuse their terror by a pretended fear for the hair—an apprelienaibn which could be well founded only if tlie accounts of in¬ sects beiug harbored in their chignons should be verified. It is true these children of darkness are neither fair iu form nor amiable in temper. The na¬ ked, black skin oftbeir wings, stretched out between enormously lengthened fingers, like the silk of an umbrella between tbe whaleboue of the frame; the ugly claws of tbeir hind feet; tbe bare appendages which frequently adorn their noses and ears in a most eccentric manner, and their perfectly noiseless, almost mysterious, Uight by touch, and not by sight—all these peculiarities combine to make them unwelcome guests among men. And yet they are real public benefac¬ tors. When the flrst warm sun of spring arouses them form their long winter sleep, which tbey enjoy hang¬ ing by their hind feet, head down, and the whole body carefully wrapped up in the wide cloak of their winga, they begin their niglit hunla. A dozen fat beetles hardly suIHce for the supper of a hungry member of one variety, and sixty to seventy house flies for one of another kind. All uight long they pursue with indefaligabieenergy every variety of beetle and moth, of fiy and bufl", and enjoy most of all those whicb do the greatest injury to our fruit trees and cereals. Even the only really for¬ midable member of their race is much maligned; a gigantic bat,| accused of sucking the blood of man and beast, it ia strictly confined to asmall district in the tropics, aud even there occurs but rarely.
