I im thinking of • happy home,
•Where th« minllght long hfta played—        [eang Where tha wild flowen sprang and the bright bird
And tlielr neits In the elm'trees made. I am th1"Wisg of vaten clear and pnre.
That were drawn from the dear old wall— Of the Tloleta blue that aronnd ft grew.
That my mother lored so well. I UQ thlnUng hov the sunset light
Crimaoced the parlor wall; How gently there, o'er the landecape fair,
The twilight uied to fall. lam thlnktfig how the roblna etuig
At doalc In the apple-trees; While o'er the lawn, with a murmured aong,
Soft floated the erening breeze.
I amthlnldng how the stars came out,
And nulled from the fields abore; How the niMnUgbt fell oTer bill and dell,
With a holy look of lore.
I am thlAlrlQg how a stm^ltng heart
Waa calmed by the starlight pnre; How It "learned to suffer and be strong.*' ,
"To joyously endure."
I am thlnUng bow my brothers* tonex
EoDgonton the summer air; 'Mid their boyish glee, do they think of in*'—
How we played together there?
I am thinking of a fireside chair
That grandpa used to fill! Are the papers read, and the graTe words bsIJ,

I am thinking, too, of the kindest heart
Tbat ever a danghter knew; Of a lore that years of hopes and fearf
Have only made more tme.
1 am thinking of friends tbat are dear and kind.
Thy wayward child hath known; Of a future bright with affection's Ilphi.
That 'round her hath ever shown.
And I bless onr Father's kindly care
Who hath made my life so bright— Who hath scattered 'round on the dewy Kr.mud
Sweet flowers of love and llf:bl.
And I lean on Ul« arm in the sualtgbl fair.
But If darker hours shonld eome To Him I pray to guide my way,

LETTIE, THE BLIND GIEL.
This was how I found it out. Lettie and I were sitting in the window at our work—it waa some mourning we were making for onr rector's family—and it had to be sent home tha next day eariy. Sbe said, "Jane, it seems a.s if the sun had given up shining ; how dull everything look.s don't yon think
I did not notice it; tbere wa.s still nn hour's daylight, Slie pnt up ber band to her forehead as if it pained her, so I bade her go ont for a turn in the garden. We bad sat close to onr sewing all tbe day, and the yonng thing was tired; even I was, and my eyes ached wearily. Sbe went along by the flower-bed and gathered a few roses—we were in the middle of Jnly then—and gave tbem to me through the window, sayiogtbat sbe wonld go down into the town for some trimmings we wanted to finish tbe dresses. I would rather tbat she bad stayed at bome, and replied that tbe shops wonld be shut; bnt she was not listening, and went away down tbe path as I spoke. It was dusk when sbe came hack; I had jnst shut tbe window, and was lighting my candle. Sbe saitl, " I conld not get the fringe, Jane," and then lay¬ ing her bonnet on tbe dresser, took up her work. After she had sewed perhaps five minutes, she tiropped ber hands on her knees, and snch a strange, hopeless expression came into her face that I was quite shocked and frightened.
" What ails yon, Lettie ? wbat can have happened?" I asked, suspecting I scarcely knew what.
She looked at me drearily in silence for some moments, and then said, hastily, *' I might aa well tell you at once, Jane—I'm go¬ ing blind."
My work fell to the ground, and I uttered a startled ory.
" Don't take oa about it, .Tane ; it can't be helped," ahe added.
" It ia only a fancy of yonrs, Lettie; I sh&ll have yon to Doctor Nash in tbe mom¬ ing. What has made you take snch a no¬ tion into your head all at once ?" said I, for I thought this was another nervous whim, Lettie had been a good deal indnlged by our mother before she died, and had shown her¬ self not alittle headstrong sometimes, as well as fanciful.
" It is of no nse, Jane; I hare been to Doc¬ tor Nash, myself, and he said plainly tbat I waa going blind. I have been to him twice before; I knew what was coming. Ob, Janey! what shall we do ? what shall we do V and having borne ap thus far, she broke down, and sobbed aloud, witb her face on her arms on the table.
" We shall do very well. In the first place, I don't believe Doctor Nash knowa anything ahout it; and, in the next, I shall have you up to London to a great dootor, and hear what he says, before I give in to thinking that yon are to be blind all your days." She waa a little cheered by this. " To London, Janey! but where is the mo¬ ney to come from ?" she asked.
" Leave that to me. I'll arrange somehow." It was very puzzling to me to settle how just then, hut I have a firm conviction that where there is a will to do anything a way may generally be found, and I meant to find it.
She took up her work, but I bade her leave it. " You will not set another stitch, Lettie," I said; " yon may just play on tbe old piano and sing your bits of songs, and get ont into the fresh air; you have beeu kept too close, aud are pale to what you were. Go to bed now, like a good little lassie ; I'll do by my. self."
"But there is so mucb to iinish, Janey," " Not a stitch that you'll touch, Lettie ; .so kiss me good-night, and get away."
" And you don't think mnch of what Doc¬ tor Nash said ?" she asked, very wistfully.
" No ! I've no opinion of him at all."— And hearing me speak up in my natural way, (though my heart was doubting all the time,) she went away comforted, and in better hope. 1 had put it off before her, because sbe would have given way to fretting, if I bad seemed to believe what tbe doctor said; but, as I drew my needle throngh and through my work till three hours past midnight, I had often to stop to wipe tbe tears from mv eyes.
There were only two of ua—Lettie and myself—and we bad neither father nor moth¬ er, nor, indeed, auy relatives whom we knew. Lettie was seventeen, and I was four years older. We were both dress-makers, and either worked at home or went out by the day. We lived in a small, thatched, three- roomed cottage outside the town, whicb had a nice garden in froi\t. Some people had told ns that if we moved into the town we shonld get better employ; but both Lettie and I liked the place where we had been horn so much better than the olosed-in streets, that we had never got changed, and were not wishful to. Our rent was not much, but we were rather put to it sometimes to ^et it made up hy the day, for our landlady was very sharp upon her tenants, and if they were ever so little behindhand, she cave them notice directly.
I set my wits to work bow to get the mo¬ ney to takeLettie to London; but all tbat night no idea came to me, and the next day it was the same. With two pair of hands we had maintained ourselves.decently, but bow was it going to be now that there was only one ? Rich folks little think how hard it is for many of ua poor day-workers to live on our little eamiogB, much more to spare for an evil day.
Sujiday found me still undecided, but that was our holiday, and I meant to see Dootor Nash myself while Lettie waa gone to obapel. * Sh* made herself very nice, for she had a modest pride in her looks whioh becomes a ^L I thought her very pretty myself, and flO did the neighbors. She had clear, small fMta»l, and a pale color iu her cheeki, soft farowa IuUTi imd bMfll eyM.  Itwasnoteuy
bonnet and olean muslin gown. She nodded to me, (I was watching her from the door¬ way,) and smiled quite happily. I was as proud of Lettie aa ever my mother had been. She was always such a clever, warm-hearted little thing, for all her high temper.
When sbe was fairly gone, and the church bells ceased, I dressed myself In baste, and set off into the town to see Doctor Nash.— He wBs at home, and his mau showed me into the surgery, where Ibad to wait may-be an hour. When the doctor came in be asked me sharply why I could not put off my visit till Monday; was my business so pressing ? He did not consider how precious were the work days to us, or may-be be would not have spoken so; for he was a benevolent man, as we had every reason to know, he hav¬ ing attended our mother through her last illness as carefully as if she had been a. rich lady, though we could never hope to pay him. I explained what I had came about, and he softened then, but would not alter what be had told Lettie bimself.
" She bas been with me three or four times," he said. " She is an interesting lit¬ tle girl; it is a great pity, bnt I do not think her sigbtcan be saved—I don't indeed, Jane."
He explained to me why he waa of this opinion, and bow tbe disease would advance, more lengthily tban needs to be set down here. Then he said he could get her admit¬ ted into tbe BUnd Institution if we liked, and that I must keep ber well, and send ber ont of doors constantly. And so I went home again, with very little hope left, as jou may tliink, after wbat I bad heard.
I did not tell Lettie where I had baen, and she never suspected. There was no chapel tbat afternoon, and we were getting ready to take a walk along the river bank, as we gen¬ erally did on fiue Sundays, (for all the town went tbere, and it freshened us up to see the holiday people far more than if we had stop- psd at home reading oar booka, as many say it i.s only right to do,) wbeu one of onr neigh¬ bors came in with her son. Mrs. Crofts was a widow, and Harry was studying medicine witb Doctor Nash. They were both kind friends of ours ; and betweeu Lettie and the young man tbere bad been for ever so long a sort of boy aud girl liking ; but I do not tliink tbey had spoken to each other yet.^ Lettie colored up wben Harry appeared, and went into tbe garden to sbow him, she said, tbe white moss-rose tbat was full of bloom by the kitcben window; but tbey stayed whispering over it so long, tbat I did not think it was only tbat they were talking about. Then Harry went out at the gate looking downcast and vexed, and Lettie came back into the house with a queer wild look iu her face that I did not like. Mrs. Crofts said, " is Harry gone .?" and my sister made ber a short snswer, nnd weut into the bed¬ room.
" Harry is going up to London very soon ; I shall be glad to have tbe examinations over, and bim settled. Doctor Nash thinks very well of him; be is a good young fellow, Jane.'' I replied that he bad always beau [a favorite of mine, and I hoped be would do well; bat, listening for Lottie's coming to us, perhaps I seemed rather cold and stiff, for Mrs. Crofts asked if I was not well, or if there was any¬ thing on my mind: so I told her about poor Lottie's sight.
"I've seen no appearance of blindness; Harry never said a word. Yon don't think it can be true?" she asked. I did not know what to think. I was sure tbat, in that whispering over the rose-tree, my sister had told young Mr. Crofts ; and I wished his mother wonld go away, that 1 might oomfort her. At last she went. Then I called Lettie,: who came at once. She had heen fretting, but, as sbe tried to hide it, I made no re¬ mark, and we went down the lano to the river meadows iu silence. Tbe first peraon we met was Harry Crofts. Lettie seemed put out when he joined ns, and turned back. She stayed behind, and was presently in company witb onr landlady, Mrs. Davis, who was taking the air iu a little wheeled chair drawn by a footman. Mrs. Davis had always noticed Lettie. Harry Crofts looked back once or twice to see if she was following; bu* when he fonnd that she was not, he proposed to wait for her, and we sat down by the water on a treetrunk which lay there
"This is a sad thing about Lettie's eyes, Jane," he said, suddenly.
"Yes, it is. What do you think about them ?   Is there any chance for her ?"
"Doctor Nash says not; but, ,Taue, next week Fbilipson, tbe best oculist in England, Is coming to stay a couple of days with Nash. Let him see ber."
"I meant to try to get her to London for advice."
" There is nobody so clever as Philipson. Oh! Jane, I wish I bad passed *'
" Do you fancy yon know what would cure her ?"
" I'd try. You know, Jane, I love Lettie. I meant to ask her to be my wife. I did ask ber tbis afternoon, and she said. No; and then told me ahout ber sight. It is only that. I know she likes me ; indeed, sbe did not try to deny it."
"Yes, Harry; you have been so much to¬ gether. Bnt there must be no talk of mar¬ rying."
" Tbat is what sbe says." " She is right; she mast just stay with me- You could not do with a blind wife, Harry— you, a young man, with your way to make in tbe world."
He tore up a handful of grass, aud fiang it upon the river, saying passionately, " Wby, of all tbe giris in Dalston, must this affliction fall on poor Lettie ?" and then he got up and walked away to zaset her coming along the bank. They had a good deal of talk togeth¬ er, which I did not listen to : for their young hearts were speaking to each other—telling their secrets. Lettie loved him ; yes, cer¬ tainly she loved bim.
"Leam music ; I will teaoh thee," he said to my sister. So, sometimes in our little parlor, and sometimes In his, he gave her lessons in fine sacred pieces from Handel and Haydn, and taught her to sing as they sing in ohurohes, whioh was grander tban onr simple Methodist hymns. It waa agreat de¬ light to listen to ber. It seemed as if she felt everything deeper in ber heart, and ex¬ pressed it better than before; and it was aU her consolation to draw the sweet sounds up out of that well of feeliug which love had sounded. I know that to remember how Hany loved her gave a tenderness and pa¬ tience to her suffering which it would else have lacked. She, wbo used to be so quick with her tongue, never gave anybody a sharp word now.
I do not say much about onr being poor, though, of course, that oould not but be ; still we had friends who were kind to us.— Even Bfrs. Davis softened, and mentioned to me, under seal of confidence, tbat, if I conld not quite make up the rent, she would not press me; bnt I fortunately had not to claim her forbearance, or else I do fear ahe oould not have home to lose a sixpence, and when it had come to tbe point we should have had to go like otbers: she was so very fond of money, poor woman I Lettie used to go to the Institution sometimes, where she learned to knit, and net, and weave basket wori.^. Onr rector (a better man never lived, or a kinder to the poor!) had her to Aet covers for bis fruit-trees, fishing nets, and other things, and to knit woollen socks for himself and his hoys-; so that altogether she con¬ trived to make what almost kept her. Now that the calamity had really oome, it was not half so dreadful as it bad seemed a long way off. Lettie was mostly cheerful. I never heard her complain, hut sbe used to sav, of¬ ten, tbat there was much to be thankful for witb us. Sbe had a quiet religions feeling, whioh kept her from melancholy, and, though I did not find it out until afterwards, a hope that perhaps her affliction might some day be removed. Harry had put tbat thought into her mind; and I do not think I am overstating tbe trntb in saying that his hon¬ est, manly affection for her, wa^ tbe great motive to his working so bard at his profes¬ sion, in wbich be has since become deserved¬ ly successful and famous.
We had six very quiet years. It seemed to me as If Lettie had always, from tbe first, gone softly groping her way, and I had al¬ ways led ber to chapel and back. Harry studied in London ; then we heard of him in Edinburgh; and at last his mother said he bad gone to Paris, and she was half afraid he would settle there and marry a papist wife. Lettie looked sorrowful and restless for a day or two after that, but presently re¬ covered ber cheerfulness. We bad not muoh change or variety at home. There was I, for¬ ever at my work, and Le ttie at her music. She had gained a great deal of skill now; and many a time have I seen a knot of peo¬ ple standing at tbe corner of our garden hedge to listen to ber singing. I have beard several grand publio performers aince then, but never one wbo could touch my heart and bring tbe tears into my eyes as my poor blind sister did. On Sundays, at chapel, we could bear lier voice, clear and sweet, above all the rest; and, though our tunes were wild and simple, sung by ber, they were beauti¬ ful. Sometimes she would go to St. John's church for the sake of the organ and the chanting, but I did not feel it right to cbangf. Habit is strong in slow, untaught people, and it did not seem as if I had kept my Sabbath, unless I said my prayers in tbe homely little ehapel to which our mother bad led us by the band when we were children. Lettie loved the grand church music ; and who could wondor at it, poor lassie f Onoa twice when she begged me to go with her, it had Beamed to fill my heart to pain almost so how much more must it have excited her, who was all fire and enthusiasm? She said it made her feel happier and better, and more thankful to God. Ferhaps, in losing one sense, her enjoyment through the others grew more intense-

Doctor Pbilipson's opinoiu was the same as that of Doctor Nash. Lettie was not so down-stricken as I had dreaded she would be, and slie bade good-bye to Harry Crofts almost cheerfully when he went up to Lou¬ don.
"Tbere, Jane, now I hope he'll forget me, ' ahe said to me ; "1 don't like to see him so dull."
Tbat day Mrs, Davis sent her a ticket for a concert at the Blind Institution, and she went. When she came bome to take tea she told me that the girls and boys wbo sang looked quite happy and contented. " And why should I not be so, too ? What a num¬ ber of beautiful sights I can remember wbich some of them never saw!" she added, with a sigh.
After this, imperceptibly, ber sight went, until I noticed that, even in crossing the floor, she felt her way before ber, witb her bands out. Doctor Nash again offered to use his influence to get her admitted iuto the In¬ stitution, but ahe always pleaded, " Let me stay with you, Janey!" and I had not the heart, to refuse, though she would have bad more advantages there than I could afford her.
Not far from us there lived an old German clockmaker, who was besides musical, and acted as organist at the Roman Catholic cha¬ pel iu the town. We hadknowu him aU our lives. Lettie often carried him a posy from our garden, and his grandchildren came to me for patches to dress tbeir dolls. Muller was a grim, fantastic-looking figure, but he bad a heart of pure gold. He was benvo- lent, simple, kindly; it waa his talk that had reconciled Lettie, more than anything else, to her oondition. He was ao poor, yet so satis¬ fied; so ftffllottd, yet unrepiniog.
At the end of tbese six years Ha rry Crofts came home. He was often at our house, and we liked having him; but, though Lettie seemed happy enough, be was uneasy and discontented. I have seen him stand beside the piano, and never take bis eyea off ber by the half-hour together; but his face looked quite gloomy. At last be one day said to me, "Jane, are you timid?—Ido not think Lettie is. Sbe seems strong and well." I knew be meant more than a simple inquiry after our nerves, and I asked if he thought he had fouud out a cure for my sister. He turned quite red.   ,
"Yes, I believe I have. I saw an operatloa performed in Paris on a girl's eyes similarly affected.   It was successful."
I said not a word. Tbe prospect seemed too good, too beautiful to he true! Just at thia minute Lettie came in through the door¬ way. There was sunshine behind her, and sbe appeared to bring it into the parlor with her. "Are you here, Harry," she immedi¬ ately asked.
It was & strange thing, that, although she neither saw him, nor heard him speak, she was at once aware of his presence. He got up and took her hy the band, and brought her to me. "Tell her, Jane, or sball I ?" he whispered. I signed to him to speak him¬ self, wbich he did witbout hesitation.
"Lettie, have you courage to undergo an operation on your eyes whicb may restore your sight?"
Sbe clasped ber hands, and such a beauti¬ ful color came flashing up into her face—you wonld have said it was like an angel's face it changed so brightly.
"Oh, yes! anything, anything, Harry, on¬ ly give me that hope 1" said she, softly.
I looked at him questioningly, to ask if be had not better wam ber of possible disap¬ pointment, and he aaid at once—
" Lettie, I ought to tell you tbat this oper¬ ation may fail, though I do not fear tbat it will. For my sake, Lettie," he added, in an under tone.
, "Well, then, for your sake, Harry," sbe replied, with a low sigh. "Even if it should not give me hack my sight, I shall only be as I am now,"
Tbey went out into the garden together; and, from the earnest, gentle way In which Harry talked to Lettie, I know tbat be  was preparing ber for wbat she had to undergo. She diJ not want for courage in any circum¬ stances, and I did not look for her being weak now.   Tbe operation  was performed during the following week.    Doctor Fbilipson and Doctor  Nash were botb present, but Harry Crofts bimself did it.    His nerve was wonder¬ ful,    Lettie behaved admirably, too; indeed, nobody was foolish hut myself, and when it was over I fainted.    It was entirely success¬ ful; my sister has ber sight now aagoodas I  bave.   For   several weeks   we kept her in  a darkened room, but she. was   gradu¬ ally permitted to face tbe light; and tbe joy of tbat time is more tban words can describe Harry Crofts soou after claimed her as hia wife; and, really, to say the tmth, nobody had a better right to her.    Tbe report of tbe singular cure he had made lifted bim at once into conaideratioD; and, as he made diseasea of the eye his particular study, be is now aa celebrated an oculist as Dr. Fbilipson him¬ self; many persons, indeed, give him the preference.   The operation, then thought so much of, is now of frequent occurrence; Let- tie's kind of blindness being no longer looked on aa irremediable.
der, aud to catch a husband, and finally, to become mistress of an establishment.
Now, 'tis right that mothers should with to educate their daughters, and' to see them happily and honorably married, hut we fear tbere are many false notions about all this, especially tbe education part. If boys should leam what they will need to know and prac¬ tice when tbey become men, girls should leam what-they will need to know when they become women. Education of girls should look farther than simply to secure a husband. It should look down through long yeara of happy union with him, and seek to fit tbem to become agreeable companions, faithful wives, and good mothers.
Many mothers, witb plenty of means at their command, too often make a sad mistake in regard to tbe meaning of education. They do not consider that to educate means to draw out and develop the whole being, hut aot rather as if it consisted In stuffing in foreign matter till every natural feature was obliterated.
An educated Euglish gentleman, who has for many years been connected with the American press, once remarked to me tbat it was a great blessing tbat our boarding-school misses had the faculty of forgetting nearly as fast as they learned. We thought he was more than half right, for nothing is truer than that our misses of tbe preseent day are not educated in tbe true, practical sense of the term. They posses a certain amount of aome sort, or, rather, we should say, of all sorts of knowledge, but nothing is thorough— nothing practical. This ia the rule—^we are glad tbere are some exceptions. When a young lady has obtained her diploma at a female seminary, it ought to be supposed tbat she is able to teach and explain iu some measure tbe sciences which she has spent years in studying, and to apply their princi¬ ples to practical life. She should be able to bring ber botany into the nusery, for the amusement and doctoring, if need be, of her children; her chemistry into tbe lutohen aud make it uaefal in tbe cooking depart¬ ment. From history she should tell stories to her children and domestics, and teach them to copy the good examples and shun the had. With ber mathematics she ought to be ahle to do something more than to compute tbe yards of trimming for a new dress. Her logic and rhetoric should enable her to hold au argument, to advance and maintain an opinion, aud rise in her oonver¬ aation abovo the level of faahionable ctit- chat, ahout fashionable nothings.
Her painting, drawing, and mnsio sbonld amuse, elevate, and refine the minds of ber children, and those under her cbarge. But how little do we see of this in practical life ? If, then, a lady who has graduated, is so su¬ perficial in ber knowledge tbat she can ap¬ ply none of it to making herself and those around her happier and better, it argues that there is a mistake somewhere.
"Natoral. Waists, ok No Wives."—Years ago we read this line somewhere and haVe never forgotten it, and better know the mean¬ ing of it now tban we did then. 'Tis a woh- der to us that any sensible man should mar¬ ry a woman whose waist looks as if aome of Nature's apprentices built it, and, making! a blunder, put all the ribs on bottom upward. We conld never see much beauty In the black-wasp style of waist; but then we do not make our taste a standard for others. Some women dress as If they never dreamed that they possessed a pair of lungs, which needed room for expansion, and that a full and free circulation of the pure air of heaven through them, was essential to pure bloOd and good health. We laugh at the Chinese for pinching the feet of tbeir females, and thus making tbem genteel cripples, while we, who claim to he their superiors in knoT^l- edge and progress, pinch the vital parts;of onr ohildren and youth, and thus raise up a generation of crooked-spine 1, dyspeptic, aadj in many instances, half idiotic invalids, whoae iniquities shall be visited upon the fourth and fifth generations, mentally aa well as physically. We do not consider that crip¬ pled feet are so likely to beoome hereditary as crippled lungs. Hence our folly and wick¬ edness is greater tban- theirs.
'Tis astonishing that sensible women should become ao deluded by thia monstrous fash¬ ion, so duped by it, as to commit suicide by inchea! Stays are again in fashion, and faah¬ ionable misses "will all fall to pieces with¬ out tbem I" Well, then, let them "burst u j," we want no such sham material for tbe mothers of coming generations. Their less would be a great gain in a physiological point of view. If we have any women in tbe country made "upon honor"—women who have moral courage enough to appropriate to their own lungs as mucb of the free air.of heaven as they need—give ua sucb women for wives. Young men had better lead to tbe hymeneal altar a living, breathing bride, clad iu an Indian blanket, thau one of these modem, puffing, fainting, waspish ladles, in a straight jacket.

"The above causes produce more sickness, sufiTering and death than all epidemics, mala¬ ria and contagion, combined with war, pesti¬ lence and famine. Nearly all who have at¬ tained to old age have been remarkable for equanimity of temper, correct habits of diet, drink and rest—for temperance, cheerfulness and morality. Physical punishment is sure to visit the transgressor of nature's laws.— All commit suicide and cut oif many years of their natural life who do not observe the means of preventing disease and of preserv¬ ing health."
The Traveling Whisper-
Foe Moteehs' Etes.—Mothers who encour¬ age their daughters in superficial accomplish¬ ments and bold display, are often preparing for them a life time of chagrin and misery. On the other hand, when they are trained, at home, by precept and example. In retiring, indofitriouB, studiona, virtuous habits, they are prepared to be nsof al and happy through¬ out Ufe.
" I'll tell the talo as it waa told to me!"—Scott. "Ido not like to aay anything about it," whispered Mrs, Sawyer to her next door neighbor, Mrs. Ashton, "but they do say that MisB Bates, our new music teacher, is no better than she should be. I don't thiuk that I shall send Auna Maria or Sarah Jane* True, she comes highly recommended, but Mrs. Goodnough, whose danghter went to School laat year, within twenty miles of MisS Bates' father's, tells me, that her danghter heard from one of her schoolmates, a slight whisper to Miss Bates' disadvantage ; and people are best known at home, you know." Mrs. Ashton held botb her gloved hands up in wonder and approval of this sentiment and then hastened away on her round of moming calls, all the wiser for her visit to Mrs. Satvyer's.
Her next stopping-place waa at Mrs. Wil¬ lis's. She found that lady over her sewing la the sitting room, and quite alone.
"lam delighted to see you," cried Mra. Ashton, half breathless from faat walking.— "Ithas been an age since I met with you last. How are you and your charming daughters Meliasa Ann and Julia ? The lat¬ ter are at school, I dare say. By the way, Mrs. Willia, I have been greatly shocked thia moming. I never should have dreamed of auch a thing aa Mrs. Sawyer haa just been whispering to me. I can hardly believe it now. But I must beg you not to aay aword abont it to any soul living. I am ao sh acfced# to think Buoh a thing could have happened, pray, don't mention it from me on any con¬ sideration, but they do say that Miss Bates' our new music teacher, has a very bad char¬ acter indeed, at home. Mrs. Sawyer has it on unquestionable authority, and has decli¬ ned the ide a of sending her daughters on that account. But she is young and pretty, poor thing! and I am very sorry for her, and wouldn't injure her for anything in the world!"
Mrs. Willis laid down her work with con¬ sternation pictured in her face ; and the two ladies whispered and nodded significantly, for the next two hours.
At the end of that time, Mrs. Willis re¬ membered that she had a host of calls to make, and tying on her bonnet, the two ladfes went out together.
Before night, the whisper that Mrs. Saw¬ yer had thoughtlessly echoed from the tongue of a achool-girl, had traveled all through the village, and ten milea into the countiy, and there waa a prospect of its traveling on, on,
as far as the Academy of B was known
and blighting in every family, where it was' carried, the fair fame of a pale-faced, sweet young creature, who bent with patient assi¬ duity over her tasks, unconscioua that a breath more fatal than the simoon of the des¬ ert, had passed over her character. If there Is not deliberate cruelty, in thua murdering the reputation and destroying the influence of another, and that other a atranger, timid and sensitive aa the mimosa, which shrinka from the slightest tonch, lell me in what cruelty consists! And yet it waa all the work of a whisper; a thoughtless and un¬ meaning whisper. Misa Bate's reputation was re-established when abe learned, after weeks of suffering, the exaggerated reports j^eryw^ere in circulation in regard to her, ^d/.))nmght testimonials of her innocence ftoia Itei: native town, and from the firat per¬ sons in other communitiea, with whom ahe chanced to be before acquainted; it was re¬ established when ahe had stayed long in the
Academy at B , and lived down  the as
pefaions so omelly cast upon her.
Bat her oase is not an isolated one. Many and many a reputation has been wrecked by bttsybodles, who have little to do at home, Aad go abroad for employment; who love to gos»Ip oyer their neighbor's affaira, and help OD, With nOroAd ipvM, th* iravtling vhi$ptr.
Brooms and Beoom-Cobs.—One firm in New York sells annually about 40,000 dozen brooms manufactured in Schenectady, and 10,000 dozen from towns in Massachusetts. Most of the brooms manufactured in Masaa¬ ehusetts find a market in Boston. There are half a dozen houses in New York dealing largely in brooms ; they are principally in FuUon Street.
The ordiii-^^ w<.-.-« ,-,r which we snooV have aold recently aa high as $17 a hundred. Thia is the Schenectady manufacture In the Masaaehusetts mannfacture, the com ia fast¬ ened upon the handle with a small wire, in" stead of stout twine, and the article conse¬ quently is not considered so valuable. A few years aince, brooms which now bring the above price could be bought at from $8 to $12 per hundred. Latterly, brooms have been sold by weight at from 8 to 11 cents per pound. The average weight is one pound and a half.
The broom-corn used in this manufacture is raised principally in the valleys of the Mohawk and the Connecticut. The soil of the bottoms along those rivers possesses cer¬ tain characteristics hlgbly favorable to the growth of this agricultntal product. Al¬ though the labor attending its cultivation is great, it is considered a valuable crop, being more hardy than maize, and less liable to injury from frosts.
The «>n- demned dogs are pat ina tank, about ten feet square, and as aoon aa the tank is full water is let in. A rack fastened down ahjut one foot from the top of the vessel krtpa them beneath the surface until they are mf- fooated. Any dog exhibiting signs of hylro- phobia is knocked on the head at once. The carcases are then taken to the foot of Faty- flfth street, Eaat River, and conveyed away in the offal-boats. Between farty and flfty persons make a regular busineas of catching dogs and conveying them to the pouid.— One man, named Daniel Sullivan, as afpeara by the books kept at the office, is largely en¬ gaged in the trade, and haa a large namber of boys in his employ. These boya scour the streets, and take every dog they are fortu¬ nate enongh to get bold of to Sullivan's De¬ pot, and thence the animals are taktsu in carts to the Pound. It is said that Sullivan averages from $10 to $15 a day, and in one week has drawn as high as $85 bounty.— Only a few of the boys engaged in the trade receive their money at the City Hall, as some half dozen atreet brokers hold ' 'change'*
i in the vicinity and cash the fifty cent order, aeauutmg uuo Dix«j..«a -— -  j_^.

^^ A paper entitled "Daniel Webster's Social Hours." ia publiahed in Harper's Mag¬ azine, from which we copy the following :— "Rusk, of Texas," said Mr, Webater, about the time he made his great speech on the compromise, " I consider tbe strongest man in the United States Senate on the democrat¬ ic aide. He is no spouter, but he acts; and upon what he saya you can rely. He will stand without being tied, and you can attend to your matters and find him when you re¬ turn on the same spot where you left him* He has all of Achille's hatred of double-deal¬ ing:        —
*He who c&n think one thing and luiothertell, tiy sonl deteets him as the gates of hell.'
His indifference to fame makes him careless, or he would assume the position in the Sen¬ ate and in the oountry to which hia oom- manding abilities entitle him. It is impos¬ sible" (continued Mr. Webater) " for me to feel the least acerbity towards such men as Rusk, Cass, Foote and Dickinson. We have stood by eaoh other in a time of greatest mo¬ ment to myself aa well as of danger to the union of theae Statea shoulder to shoulder. I can never forget or refuse to acknowledge their important vital aid."

^^ A large proportion of the work bestow¬ ed npon the mannfactnre of watches in Switz¬ erland is donebj cottagers, who cultivate the earth in samindr, and in the winter fihat them¬ selves np with their families daring the in¬ clement season, which lasts three or fonr months. The whole family then devote them¬ selves to the work of making watch move¬ ments* Not only do the children work, but the dog turns a wheel, and puts in motion a lathe or a pair of bellows. First, the rongli part of the movement is made by water pow¬ er. Partioalar parts are assigned to the young members of the family, while othera are employed in pnttingthe plates and wheels together. When a sufficient number have been prepared the master transports them, on the baok of a mule to some town or vil¬ lage, where he sells them to little master watchmakers, who oomplete the movements, or else they are sold to traveling agents, who case them in ailver or gold.

Sham Jewelry-—Over four hundred men are employed in four establishmets in the town of Attleborongh, Mass., and its im¬ mediate vicinity, in mannfactnring, &om cbeap materials, elegant articles of jewelry. So famous has become that locality for thia species of ornaments, that we find workers in precions metals distinguishing tbe alloy vulgarly known as brass by the more quiz¬ zical term of " Attleborongh." Making cheap imitations of aristocratic metallic ornaments was commenced in this country about tbe beginning of the present centnry, and has now become a quite important branch of the mechanic arts. Steam and water-power are extensively availed of in addition to the com¬ paratively large number of human hands daily at work supplying thia great necessity both of barbarism and civilization.
Eeadt-uadb Clothdjg.—^The value of the ready-made garments sold by wholesale in the cily of New York in 1S63 reached nearly to $20,000,000.
