Why ! bow sober yon look Yon most oerlainly bate not bnried yonr wife ?'¦ "fiuried my wife I" repUed Toby, "no in¬ deed. That is a glorious era in my hiatory whtcU haa not yet arrired, and I oan only join in singing thd pathetic long metre hymn,"EoU fiwift ye wheela of time," &a." "Ohl single felicity I Why did I leave tby ambrosial bowera to waste my existence upon the chilling winda of a matrimonial desert f" " Well, I declare, Toby, tbat ia a monxnfnl strain. Socrates conld not have been more dolorons in bis remarks wben relating to Athe-; nian bachelors bis domestic tronblea, and it certainly excels the lamentations of the Jews ' when they elevated their harps on the willows.. Come, I am a bachelor—my sympathies are wilb yon—^let me hear yonr reasons for this remarkable jeremiad." There is nothing which aHects tbe bnman heart so qnickly as sympatby, and Toby's conntenanee immediately radiated with the consoionsness that be poasessed a "sympathi¬ zing friend "in his connnbial misfortunes. Doffing bis capillary coveting and lighting a oigar—1 never allow any one to smoke a pipe in my oflice. Pipe-smoking is a retrograde movement not to be tolerated in onr age of progressive civilization. In factitia decidedly Milesian in ils tendency—Toby took bis cus¬ tomary seat, and with a countenance betoken¬ ing "startling revelations" thna began hia connubial philtipic. "The marriage institution is a moose trap ou a large scale. Man approaches it oautionsly, examines the bait attentively, considers it suf¬ ficiently attraotive, thinks not that he is the object of a vain delusion, reaches outbis hand —sepulchral voico heard in the distanoe, say¬ ing, "I pronounce yon husband and wife "— startled he looks around, no avenne of escape, he is a prisoner until separated by deatb or— blessed be tbe power of justice—by the kind¬ ness of a sympathizing court. " Courting is the sngar coating of tbis pill, matrimony, by wbich we cbildren of darkness are easily deceived. Courtship and marriage bear the same relation to each other as pnrsnit and possession in a fox bunt. The baying of the hounds, the eagerness of the horses, the emulation ofthe horsemen, tbe exoiting sound ofthe distant hom and the uncertainty of capture, all send the blood v. ith rapid oonrs- ing tbrongh the veina and fill tbe pursuers witb a wild exhilaration. But wben tbe chase is over aud ijft f^^' caught, immediately all interest in tbe light-footed animal ceases." "Yes, Toby, I abonld judge from my lim¬ ited observation that courting was a delightful recreation, conducted by no conventional mles." " TeU me not in mournful numbera." " Conrting'B bnt an empty dream," replied Toby, " and tbere are aa many varieties of cotutsbip as tbere are difierent parties en¬ gaged in it. There are conrtings stealthy, conrtings open, conrtings mild, conrtings ener¬ getio, conrtings slow, conrtings fast, conrtings short, conrtings long, conrtings snccessfnl, and conrtings nnsnccessfnl. The most inter¬ esting part of the courtship is whete the par¬ ties, tbongb nothing bas been said by eitber, are conscious that they possess eaclt other's love. Every look aod gesture is then filled witb a thrilling signifloanoe. Bnt then the mutual passion is declared, tbe courtship as¬ sumes more of a basiness character and its romantio nncertainty is gone." ¦ " Toby, you are indeed a philosopher. You shonld write a boot on " The Philosophy of Lovo" or, " Courtship made Eaay." I have no donbt it would surpass in conception Miss Butt's "Leisure Moments," and you can aend a copy of it bound in calf, to the Prince of Wales." (Here Toby brought bis thumb to his nose and gesticulated with hia fingers for my especial benefit.) " The minntia! of a courtship are by no means uninteresting," said Toby. "The easily inter¬ preted glance of the eye, the meaning gesturei tbe playful obstinacy, the feigned coyness, the gentle pressure of tbe band, and tbe sonl-dia- BOlving kisa, all make conrting the most agree¬ able of occupations. Kissing alone is suffioient inducement to make me a laborer in sucb a vineyard. ' Kiss rhymes to bliss in faot, as wellas verse.' " " Tbere are varions kinds of kisses. There ia tbe gentle kiss, effected by the moat delicate - labial pressnre, resembling iu its consumma¬ tion the violet kissed by the zephyr. This is tbe kisa ofa decided novice in the art. Next comes the abbreviated kisa, " snatched hasly from the sideling maid," most rapid in its oon ception and execution. This ia otten heard by tfie indignant parent as he opens the drawing- room door. It is of all kisses lbe most unsat¬ isfaotory, and is never resorted to exoept in urgent cases when fear of detection is immi¬ nent. Next in order we flnd the sonorous kiss, which is both unsafe and unsatisfactory in its resulta. It cousists of a sbarp report, and is utterly devoid of any poetio element. Small boys and countrymen indulge in this variety. The last speoies which I shall mention, is the condensed kiss, the resultant of a iiigh oivili¬ zation. Time is the priucipal element in its composition and the mutual confidence of the parties is essential to its fall acoomplisbment. " The fragrant In.'ancy of op'nlng flowers Flow'd to m; senses lo tbat meltlog kiss." While enjoying tbe blissfnl martyrdom of tbia kiss, one feels his soul gradaally drawn from ita resting place and elevated into an etherial atmoapbereofBlaudusian enjoyment, while—". "There, Toby, thaf ia enough. Yon lival Cobb in your powers of description, and the Amerioan eagle in your atmoapherio soarings. But, my dear fellow, you have wandered Stx away from yoar original topio, eclipsing in your digressions even a. Guarter Session lawyer or a superannuated Metbodist divine.

Sbe has no 'reason to do so, for there is little upon the festive board that I rslish. Inatead of stewed -butterflies, a la moie bumble-bees, and fried honeysuckles,, wbiob she aald shonld be our regular diet when married, I find nothing but antiquated fowls, bread deviod of leaven, and meats that oan trsbe thsir exiatence to a remote age; and like Esau of old, I am ready to sell my bUrth- rlght for a little physical condiment.

Miss Simper never allowed her young ladies to read a cook-book. Sbe said suob reading was very enervating and time, most injallolously employed.

You have heard of philosophical experiments where no definite result was ar- rivsd at. But in her cooking experiments a most definite reault was acoomplished, name¬ ly, ths utter annihilation of the original ele¬ ments. After she had made mauy ineffeotual attempts to bring her intellectual resources in subjection to ths calinaty art, I finally intro¬ daced a cook into tbe kitchen, and there has beeu the " pride, pomp and oiroumstanoe of glorious war" eversince.

" Tbere ia no noise I bate so mucb as asuore, and to crown my married misery I havs a snoring wife. I believe that Abraham slept with his forefathers with greater oomfort tbau I do witb my own wife.

They lived respectably aa man and wife." This question of matrimony is one whioh requires considerable meditation aud fore¬ thought, since in most oases it is a deoision tor life. There are a great many pros and cons coimeoted with it. Some fanatics ory out agahist the institution in toto, and in a tone of Scripture authority say, " Go to the maiden aunt thou single man, consider her ways and be wise." They oontend that oeUbaoy "obaste as the iciole" is the normal oouditiou ot man, and that "many a flower is bom to blnsh un¬ seen aud waate its fragrance on tbe desert air." I myself, db not think that Providenoe is .on the Bide of oellbaoy.

Tfaat is jnst sncb a sentiment as I shonld expect from a vinegar-faced ante- diluvlan who had been often "jilted" by the females of antiquity..

Exospting ths aforementioned lilac treea, there was not a fiower or shrub rouud ths placs. Hose bushes tbe Deaoon thonght rotted tbs honss, and the honeysuckle which his wife tried to train over E'' e porch, .was tom down wben the painters me, and on the whole, ths Deacon said, bal waa the use of putting it np, so long as il did not bear auy thing 7 By the side ot the house was a thrifty, well kept garden, with plenty of currant bashes, gooseberry bushes, aud quince trees—and ths beets aud oarrots, aud onions were the pride ofthe Deacon's heart; bnt, as he often proud¬ ly said, " everything was for uie "—there was notbing fauoy about it. His wife put iu tim¬ orously one aeason for a flower-border—Mra. Jenkyns had given her a petunia, and Mrs. Simpkins had brought her a package ot flower seeds from New York—and aoa bed was laid out. But ths thrifty Deaoon soon found tbat the weeding of it took tims that Mrs. Tilden migbt give to her dairy, or to making sbirts, and knitting stookings, and so it really troub¬ led his conscience. The next spriug he turned it into hia com-field; and wheu his wite mildly Intimated ber disappointment, said placidly, " After all, 'twas a tbing of no nse, and took time"—and Mrs. Tildsu being a womau, and oue of tbe kind of saints who alwaya suppose tbemselves miserable sinners, specIaUy con¬ fessed her sin of being inwardly vexed abont the incident iu ber prayera tbat night, aud prayed that her eyes migbt be turned off from beholding vanity, and that she might be qnick¬ ened in the way ot minding her work. The tront paijir Bf ths Deacon's house was the most frigid asylum of neatness tbat ever disconraged the eyes and heart of a -visitor. The tour blank walls were guiltless of any en¬ graving or paintiug, or of any adornment bnl au ordinary wall paper, and a framed copy of the Deolaration of Independence—on each of tbe tbree aidea atood four cbaira—nnder the looking-glass was a abiuiug mahogany table, witb a large Bible and an almanack on it— and a pair of oold, giislening braas andirons illustrated tbe fireplace. The mantel shelf above bad a pair of bright braaa candleaticks, with a pair of snuffers between—and that was all. Tbe Deacon liked il—It was plain and simple—no nonsense about it—everything for uee and notbing for sfaow—it Bulled him. His wife sometimes sighed and looked rouud it, when she was sewing, as if she wanted some¬ tbing, and then sung iu the good old psalm— imothsVe enfCused'eyei^ .''it UVoiieCot the mmt utefiil tbisg* that.bU. beesiirengiitInto the honse this many a day." ¦ "I don't Bee how you're going to mal^e that ont," said the'Deactin, looklag apprel^enslve at -the young Wisdom that-had rites in his bonsehold. ' "What win yon; wager me, father,that I will prove out of your own month that thla stataette ia.as nssfalaa yonr oart and oasn!" "I know you've got a great way of ooming round folks, and twiching them up bsfore. tbey fairly know where they are; but.I'U- stan' yon ou this queatlon, any way.". And the Deacon put bis y^llow'silk bandanna oyer, bis bald bead, and took np his ilositiou In the' window seat.. "Well now, father, nhat is the uss ofyour oart and oxen >" . - "Why, I oould network tbs farm wlthont thsm, and yoii'd all havs qotbing to sat, dttiik,, or wear," - "Well, and what is. the ose lit our eating, drinking, and wearing!" "Use 1 why we oould not keep alive wilh- outit." ' . "And what Te the use ot our keeping aUvs!" " The uss ofonr keeping alive ?"¦ "Yes, to be sure, why dd we try and BtHve and twist and tum to keep alive, and what'a tbe uae of Uving T" - ' " Living 1—why, we want to live; we enjoy living-:—all oreaturea do—dogs and cati-and every kind of beast. .

" Well, we all snjoy this slatustte, so that then is the game valae to tbat, that there Is< in Hving; and if yonr oxen and carte and iood and clothes, and all that you call nscessaiy tbinga, have no value sxospt to keep in life, and Ufe has no value exoept enjoyn)ent, then tbis statnette is a short out to the great thing for whioh yonr farm and everythmg else is' deaigned. You do not enjoy yoar cart for what it is, bat because of its use to get food andolotheB—and tood and oltithes. we value, tor ths snjoymsnt tliey give. But a statnette or a picture, or any beantifal thing, gives en¬ joyment at once. We enjoy it the moment we see it—^tor itself, and not tor any uss we mean to make ot it. So that strikes the great snd of Uts qaicker thau anything else, don't it f Hey, talber—haven't I got my oase ?" " I believe the pigs are getting into ths gar- dsn," said ths Dsaoon, ruahing ont of th's tront door. But to bis wits be said before going to bsd, " Isn't it amazing the way Jethro oau talk ? I oouldn't do it myself, but I had it iu me thongh, if I'd had his advautages. Jethro ia a chip of tbe old blook." THE CHILD AUGEL. " Prom Tanity tarn off my eyee; Lel no corrupt design Or covetonn desire arise Within this heart of mine," The corrupt design to whiob Ibis estimable matron had been tempted, had been the pur¬ chaee of a pair of Parian flower-vases, whose beaaty bad stmck to her heart when sbe went with her batter and eggs to the neighboring oily—but recollecting berself in time, ahe bad reaolutsly shut her eyes to the allnremsnt, and spent the money vtefuUy in buying loat sugar. For it is to be rsmarksd that tbs Deaoon was fond of good eating, and prided himself on ths bonutiss ofhis wife's table. Few woman knew-bettsr how to set one—and the snowy bread, golden butter, olear preaerves aud jellies were themes of adiniratlou at atl the toa-tablsB in ths land. The Deaoon didn't mind a few oents iu a ponnd more for a nicer ham, and would uow and then bring in atreat of oysters from the oity when they were dear¬ est. These were coTrt/or(s,^e Bald-—oue mnst stretch a point for the comforts of life. The Deaoon must not be mistaken for a tyrannical man or a bad basband. Wbeu he quietly put hia wife's flower-patch into hlB com-field, he thought be had done her aer¬ vice by onrlug ber ofan absurd notion for things that took time aud made trouble, and were otno use ; and ahe, dear soul, nevor had breathed a dissent to auy coarse of his, loud enough to let him know she had one. He langhed in his sleeve often, wben he saw her so tranquUly knitting or shirt-making at those timea sbe had been wont to give to her-'poor little contraband pleasnres. As for the flowsr- vaaea, they were repenled of—aud Mrs. Tilden pnt a hand foU of spring anemoues iuto a craoked pltcber, and set it on ber kitchen Uble, tiU tbe Deacon loaaed tbem out of the window—" he couldn't bear to see weeds growing round." The poor Uttle woman had a kind ot chronic heart-sioknesB, like the piuiug of a teething child, but sbs nsver knew exactly what itwas Bbswantsd. It sbs over was. sick, no man oould bo kinder than the Deaoon. He haa been kuowu to harness iu aU haste, and rush to the neighboring town at fonr o'clock iu the j moming, that he might bring ber some deli¬ oaoy she had a faniiy for—for that he oould aee tfae nae of, bnt he could not sympathize in her craving desire to see Powers' Greek Blave, whioh was exhibiting in a neighboring town. " What did Chrietlan people waut of iftm images!" he wauted to know. He thonght the Soriptnres put that down-^" Eyos have they, bnt they ase not—ears have they, but they hear not—neither speak they through their throat. They that make them ars like nnto them; so ia every one that trusteth in tfaem." Tfaere was tfae Deacon'a opinion of the arts; and Mrs. TUden only sighsd, and wished sfae oould see it, tfaat was aU. Butit came to pasa that tfas Dsacon'ssldsit son went to live in New York, and from that time sirange changes begau to appear in ths tamily tbat tbs Deacou didn't like; bnt as Jethro was a smart, driving lad, and making money at a greal psce,'bs at first Bald nothing. But on bis mother's birth day, down he oame and bronght a box for fais motber, whioh, be¬ ing unpacked, contained a Farian statuette of. Paul and Virginia—a lovely, simplo little gToaj) as ever told ita story in olay. Everybody was soon Btandiug round it in opeutmonthed admiration, jtnd poor -Mrs. Tilden wiped her eyes more than once, as ahe looked on it. It seemed a vision of beanty in' the desolate neatne's of the bsst room. "Very pretty, I s'pose," said the Dsaoon, doubtfully—for like moat lathers of Bpirifodi tweiity-(hree oidera, he began to feel a little- in.awe of his son—r" but dear me, what a sight of money to give tor a thing tbat after all is ofnonsel" . . "t tUiil^" Mid Jethio, looUng at hia The Nelson Hotel was the largest and moat faafaionable house of resort in a town on the sea shore of a popnlar watering place.famons in the annals of ths wealthy. It stood not far from ths brink of this Bounding ssa, and com¬ manded a prospeot ot surpassing beauty. All day long tbe wfaite winged ships laid agaiust tfae blue sky, and tfae favoring bresaes wafted them iu and'out ofthe harbor, sending some, to " home sweet home," aud bearing otfaers towards the scented isles of tfas tropics, where the palms glisten iu an almost perpetual snn¬ shine, aud tbs fields ars roay with southoro flowers. In ths snmmer time tbe Nelson Honse was always thronged. Among the very seleot few wfao came for tbe purpose of iuvigorating and improving health, were a yonug couple by ths nams of Hayden. Harriot, tbe wife, was a most inter-' eating woman, not yet tbirty, witb a qniet, gsntls mauner, and a voles whoss vsry toue was musio. Sbs was a New Eugland womau, of Puritan extraction, and a sweet praotical Christian. Johu llaydeu was fully as pre- poasesalng as his wife. But tbe sweetest creature in this baautifnl gronp, was little AnloineUe Hayden, a ohild ofthree years, and one of the loveliest creations tbat painter ever transferred to canvass. It was not the giowing oheek, so ronnd and crimson, not the fnll blue eye, nor the rich, long ourls of a golden color, nor yet tbe psrfeot fignre and ivory' whitsness of tfae brow, tbat constituted tfae beauty of this earthangsl. Thsrs was a nameless some¬ tbing tbat looked ont from those eyes, tbst spread a heavenly beaaty over tfas transparsnt features, lhat spoke in every mnsical tone of her sweet voice, that moved in every graceful motiou—and whioh led svsn strangsrs to say, " What a heavenly ohild I" She waa not robed iu flonnces or laces, or ribbons. Her Uitle limbs were unfettered by fashion, and had tfae freest play; her waya were all nalural, her walk'aud talk and play, were all as Utile child's walk and talk and play sbould be, and very soon tbe tbongbtless ones leamed to look npon Nettie with a sort of awe, as if sbe oheoked theb: worldlinesB. Loose Ben waa au uuooath oaricature of a human being, of sixtson years of age, alonoh- Ing In bis dress, dirty, sometimes ragged, bearing all.the gibes put upou him, with sal¬ len mien and stoical sUence. Loose Ben abnfiled, looked saspiolonsly at everybody, from tmder his eyebrows,—ahrank from every human voice, never seemed to care whether they oaUed bim tool or knave, aud only oared to gather his loose limbs together in some sun¬ ny plaoe after hia services were over for tfae day, and think—^what oonld the poor outcast think? He was a German, and possibly never knew his parentage; he wonld not say whether he hsd a father or mother. It was his dnty to make fires in the rooms of tfaose who were In¬ vaUds, iu the early morning, and tor this pur¬ pose tfae fatfaer of little Antiouette employed faim, tfaoagh it was summer time, yet tfae ohiu air of the sea made tbe early moming raw and oold. So with an armful ot wood. Loose Ben wended hia way to namber EG, a larga room ou the second story. As fae eutered, Mr. Hayden glanced up trom his dressing ta¬ ble, and foUowed his lazy motions witb his eye for a full moment. Little Antoinette sat on the floor by'the bedside, half covered witb tbe laoe curtains tbat fell like spray over her spiritual face and figure. She, too,-looked on earnestly, snspending faer play tor a moment, and then, as fais labor progressed, s'ls stood up, aud with hsr half-inspirsd look, mored toward hlro,'tiU ahe stood by his side. He gazed towards her, seeming -paralyzed into greater stupidity ather swset Bmile. She did not mock him', scream oi^t, or spring trom him as tfae other ohiidreu'did, noroaU him unfeel¬ ing names, bat as she. stood there with a saintly light ou-her broWj she laid one wfaite, dimpled hand on his ragged sleeve, and •wtth winning voice asked "doa yotlote Gudf" He was too much startled for the moinentto speak, but ths great sbiuing oyes StiU beiimed into his laok Instre orbs, and again that voice ot surpassing beauiy asked, "does you love Qodf". .- ' Ee looked up, he looked down awkwardly, and In his broad Dntch dialect Baidhalf sheep- lahly, "ya-M." - "Doaayoa proy to God In the moming?" peraiated the Uttie oue, stUl keeping her hand upon faim, and fae in the same voice answered "yo-fls." -v.,. Tfaen tfae little oue seemed satisfied; abs danced and capered about—ofaatted with tfais coarse, boorish boy—watohed tfae curling flame as it asceudsd; and built, all tiuoouBoioasIy, a fire ot love aud gratitude on ths altar of that nuonltlvated heart. > . The seaaon wenV on, and Nettle^a motber improved in health. The thin flgnre ronnded oat,the palroheeka grew flaahed, and'she took long waUcs and dilves a1ong.-the quiet bejoh.

But theie was a ohalnge in tfais semi-b'arbarlan. Gradaally i t)ie rough, heavy looks were trained to taU baak ftom his lou but tuU brow; his wood- j oolored face grew olean, and his great hands I eyinoed some mark ot attehtioS. _ By sbnle myBteriouB process, his olothes were mended, and. little by Uttle, Loose Ben seemed to emerg'e from his loutish shell into a region ot more thought arid freer acope.

LelBurely he' west to the hearth stoue and leisurely set the kindlings and the wood in their plaos. Theu he turned'round to look for Antoinette. A Uttle voice oame from tmder the ourtains, "Benny, does you love God? Does you pray iu the moming!" The boy drew his faands before his eyee, and as Nettie made herself .visible, be weut towards her, aud teU npou his kneea ather feet. " Yon dear Uttie augel," he sobbed, taking her dimpled hand and covering it wilh kisses. "Every moming-you ask me that, and every moming I Ue to yon. Yes, I lie to you, tor I no love God as yon say. Tfaeu yon ask me if I pray every moming, and I Ue to"'you again, aud keep lying to yon, because I didn't' know no belter, becanse I poor, ignoraut Dutch boy. But this morning, you dear Uttle angel, I tell you I love God. riell you I pray to God, yes, I love, I pray," be added, tbe tears running down fais narse cheeks, while Mr. aud Mrs. Hayden stood looking on tull of astonishment. "You raade me go to God, you Utile angel joa; yoa make me pray to God, and I tell yon no lie any longer. 01 wfaen you did ask me first, I kuew not wfaat to make ot it, and I think it no harm to say yaas.

Teara choked bis utterance ; Antoinette, scarcely knowing wbat It all meant,. stood looking gravely towarda bim, a childish won¬ der In ber face, until Johu llaydeu suatofaed her from tbe floor and folded her wilh many kisses to hia boaom. The sceue changes lo a handsome dwelliog in the cily. Snow lays on all the streets whits aod glittering-the naked trees, tbe gray caps of the bousea, the iron railings, all are robed iu the shroud of the autumn days. Ab 1 Boms cold wind, soms snow bas ontered that honse; the wbite drapery oflhe windows is unlifted; ohildren go iu and come out again with sorrowtal faces; the passing trar- •eller looka moumfullv up as he wanders by; tbers must be gloom iu tbal bouse ; yes, tfae wbite suow ol death lays, upon tfae forefaead of au only child.

Does tbs angel baths ber wings in tbs lightof-heav¬ en ? Even so. In a darkened ohamber sat tfaa motber of tbls lovely fl.>wer, bearing her grief alone with God. No sigh broke from her bosem, no tear feU from her eye ; she looked calm, she was oalm, bnt resigned as she evidently was, the stem ImmobiUity of ber features told tbat grief, deeper tban oould flnd any outlet, lay heavy afc her heart.

And then came feet along the-passage—and a tall, dark man stood before her. " Yon do not know me, Mrs. Hayden," he said, as, after a moment, striving .to posaess his selt-oommand, hs spoks. "I do not, indesd," rsplisd tfae bereaved motfaer in low-tones.

" Good moraing, Toby, coming wben 1 heard that qniot, uerroas step
on the ataiie. Why ! bow sober yon look
Yon most oerlainly bate not bnried yonr wife ?'¦ "fiuried my wife I" repUed Toby, "no in¬ deed. That is a glorious era in my hiatory whtcU haa not yet arrired, and I oan only join in singing thd pathetic long metre hymn,"EoU fiwift ye wheela of time," &a."
"Ohl single felicity I Why did I leave tby ambrosial bowera to waste my existence upon the chilling winda of a matrimonial desert f" " Well, I declare, Toby, tbat ia a monxnfnl strain. Socrates conld not have been more dolorons in bis remarks wben relating to Athe-; nian bachelors bis domestic tronblea, and it certainly excels the lamentations of the Jews ' when they elevated their harps on the willows.. Come, I am a bachelor—my sympathies are wilb yon—^let me hear yonr reasons for this remarkable jeremiad."
There is nothing which aHects tbe bnman heart so qnickly as sympatby, and Toby's conntenanee immediately radiated with the consoionsness that be poasessed a "sympathi¬ zing friend "in his connnbial misfortunes.
Doffing bis capillary coveting and lighting a oigar—1 never allow any one to smoke a pipe in my oflice. Pipe-smoking is a retrograde movement not to be tolerated in onr age of progressive civilization. In factitia decidedly Milesian in ils tendency—Toby took bis cus¬ tomary seat, and with a countenance betoken¬ ing "startling revelations" thna began hia connubial philtipic. "The marriage institution is a moose trap ou a large scale. Man approaches it oautionsly, examines the bait attentively, considers it suf¬ ficiently attraotive, thinks not that he is the object of a vain delusion, reaches outbis hand —sepulchral voico heard in the distanoe, say¬ ing, "I pronounce yon husband and wife "— startled he looks around, no avenne of escape, he is a prisoner until separated by deatb or— blessed be tbe power of justice—by the kind¬ ness of a sympathizing court.
" Courting is the sngar coating of tbis pill, matrimony, by wbich we cbildren of darkness are easily deceived. Courtship and marriage bear the same relation to each other as pnrsnit and possession in a fox bunt. The baying of the hounds, the eagerness of the horses, the emulation ofthe horsemen, tbe exoiting sound ofthe distant hom and the uncertainty of capture, all send the blood v. ith rapid oonrs- ing tbrongh the veina and fill tbe pursuers witb a wild exhilaration. But wben tbe chase is over aud ijft f^^' caught, immediately all interest in tbe light-footed animal ceases."
"Yes, Toby, I abonld judge from my lim¬ ited observation that courting was a delightful recreation, conducted by no conventional mles."
" TeU me not in mournful numbera." " Conrting'B bnt an empty dream," replied Toby, " and tbere are aa many varieties of cotutsbip as tbere are difierent parties en¬ gaged in it. There are conrtings stealthy, conrtings open, conrtings mild, conrtings ener¬ getio, conrtings slow, conrtings fast, conrtings short, conrtings long, conrtings snccessfnl, and conrtings nnsnccessfnl. The most inter¬ esting part of the courtship is whete the par¬ ties, tbongb nothing bas been said by eitber, are conscious that they possess eaclt other's love. Every look aod gesture is then filled witb a thrilling signifloanoe. Bnt then the mutual passion is declared, tbe courtship as¬ sumes more of a basiness character and its romantio nncertainty is gone." ¦ " Toby, you are indeed a philosopher. You shonld write a boot on " The Philosophy of Lovo" or, " Courtship made Eaay." I have no donbt it would surpass in conception Miss Butt's "Leisure Moments," and you can aend a copy of it bound in calf, to the Prince of Wales."
(Here Toby brought bis thumb to his nose and gesticulated with hia fingers for my especial benefit.)
" The minntia! of a courtship are by no means uninteresting," said Toby. "The easily inter¬ preted glance of the eye, the meaning gesturei tbe playful obstinacy, the feigned coyness, the gentle pressure of tbe band, and tbe sonl-dia- BOlving kisa, all make conrting the most agree¬ able of occupations. Kissing alone is suffioient inducement to make me a laborer in sucb a vineyard. ' Kiss rhymes to bliss in faot, as wellas verse.' "
" Tbere are varions kinds of kisses. There ia tbe gentle kiss, effected by the moat delicate - labial pressnre, resembling iu its consumma¬ tion the violet kissed by the zephyr. This is tbe kisa ofa decided novice in the art. Next comes the abbreviated kisa, " snatched hasly from the sideling maid," most rapid in its oon ception and execution. This ia otten heard by tfie indignant parent as he opens the drawing- room door. It is of all kisses lbe most unsat¬ isfaotory, and is never resorted to exoept in urgent cases when fear of detection is immi¬ nent. Next in order we flnd the sonorous kiss, which is both unsafe and unsatisfactory in its resulta. It cousists of a sbarp report, and is utterly devoid of any poetio element. Small boys and countrymen indulge in this variety. The last speoies which I shall mention, is the condensed kiss, the resultant of a iiigh oivili¬ zation. Time is the priucipal element in its composition and the mutual confidence of the parties is essential to its fall acoomplisbment.
" The fragrant In.'ancy of op'nlng flowers Flow'd to m; senses lo tbat meltlog kiss."
While enjoying tbe blissfnl martyrdom of tbia kiss, one feels his soul gradaally drawn from ita resting place and elevated into an etherial atmoapbereofBlaudusian enjoyment, while—". "There, Toby, thaf ia enough. Yon lival Cobb in your powers of description, and the Amerioan eagle in your atmoapherio soarings. But, my dear fellow, you have wandered Stx away from yoar original topio, eclipsing in your digressions even a. Guarter Session lawyer or a superannuated Metbodist divine. Hecover yoor scattered senses and let me hear yonr matrimonial triala." ,_" Very welljBald Toby. You ees that olgatf
I woald'nl''dare to liroke it lit my bouse. It i'yeTHOWJiow.aoon mynife bhiingeiher sentimenta In regatd'to tobacco, after we were married. " When we were courting, shesaid there vas notbisg that aba: liked ao wall as the smell, of a oigar, preferred it even to the oondenBed'extMotof Frangiptani. Bat now, she oondsmns it as a " disgusting habit," nn¬ worthy of a true gentleman. Tostwday she threatened that if X did uot give It np, she would UBS a bladder of snuff a day. I expeot Boon to ses her literally Buafflngnphernoae atme." ' ' '
"Before we.were married she had no objeo- tiouB to my taking a glass of wine, and many timea she joined me lu it. But now she de- nounoss "inspiring John Bariey Com " with ths energy of a Qongh.' If, tbroagh sn exceda of polltioal enthaaiaam, I flpsnd a few honre in ths STsning dsscribing rail-fsnoes on ths aidswalk, I am told, to my uttsr astonish¬ ment, by my dear mother-in-law that I am a "dranksu wretch."- My wife, mucb to my annoyance, continually rehearses at the din¬ ner-table ths nnhappy end of gluttons and winebibbers. Sbe has no 'reason to do so, for there is little upon the festive board that I rslish. Inatead of stewed -butterflies, a la moie bumble-bees, and fried honeysuckles,, wbiob she aald shonld be our regular diet when married, I find nothing but antiquated fowls, bread deviod of leaven, and meats that oan trsbe thsir exiatence to a remote age; and like Esau of old, I am ready to sell my bUrth- rlght for a little physical condiment. You know my wife Is a gradaate of Miss Simper's celebrated boarding-school for young ladies, where the youthful feminine learns all the mysteries of love-lettere,tbeptoper inolination of a moustaohe, tbs easiest, method of spine- bending and the most memorable incidents iu tbe livea of lily-fingered Lotharios. Miss Simper never allowed her young ladies to read a cook-book. Sbe said suob reading was very enervating and time, most injallolously employed. I do not know whether my wife bas saffered muoh from her eduoation, bnt 1 am confldent Iiave. When ws firat went to housekeeping ehe insisted upou doing the cooking. You have heard of philosophical experiments where no definite result was ar- rivsd at. But in her cooking experiments a most definite reault was acoomplished, name¬ ly, ths utter annihilation of the original ele¬ ments. After she had made mauy ineffeotual attempts to bring her intellectual resources in subjection to ths calinaty art, I finally intro¬ daced a cook into tbe kitchen, and there has beeu the " pride, pomp and oiroumstanoe of glorious war" eversince. " Allied foitsea," my wife and motber-in-law. "Poor Hungary," myself. . Tbs table the scene of oonflict. -
» They will defy
That whioh they lore most tenderly;
anarret with mlnced-pies, and disparage

Fat pig and goose itself oppoee.
And blaspheme cnatard thro* their nose."
"Wbile of me it might be said,
"He bore
A paunch of mighty bulk before.
Which atiil he had a special care
To keep well oramm'd wllb thrifty fare."
' 'In ths moantiiiie, with your psrinlBsIoii,; I am going to call npou your wifis and hear her yersioh bt your mafrlmonial trials. I am oonfident, Toby, that.ahe will not give yoa the beat character Imaginable, for I think tiiatyoa are too exacting and not oonoUfatoiy enough' In your dispoiitloa." . .
Exit—Toby, whistling, "Home, Sweet Home."
" Speakiug of my mother-in-law, recalls all tbe deligbtfal interoourae which I bave- bad witb her sinoe my marriage. Dear old lady I She is so affectionate in ber disposition, 'Visits me twice a year, stayiog six months at a titue, oannot bear to bave me out of her aigbt. Ad¬ vises me in regard to my business. Puts my dead-latch key away for safe keeping. Locks tho front door if I am out late. Says my wife will die of negleot. Will not let me whistle for fearl will distarb my wife's nervea. Named my first' boy after her deceased husband. Treats my ohildreu like so many drums— their music bronght out by beating. Thinka I grow coarse and shabby every day, aud in a very melancholy voice says " Well, girls are sometimes very mucb deceived in their oboice ofa husband. There was my dear, dear has¬ band. Oh I if tbere were only more meu like him, what happineas there would be iu fami- \ liea 1"
(Here Toby with a merry twinkle in bis eyes told me tbat be aaw the old gentleman in bis last moments, aud that he expressed no desire to remain with his dear wife.)
" Tbere ia no noise I bate so mucb as asuore, and to crown my married misery I havs a snoring wife. I believe that Abraham slept with his forefathers with greater oomfort tbau I do witb my own wife. Evety night I am wakened by her long, lond and terrible snor¬ ing, whioh Bonnds like tbe breathing of an elephant attacked by bronchitis or the witches of Macbeth playing on a trombone."
" My wife says that if I didn't eat so maoh I oonld aleep well enoagh, and that she never was gailty of such a vulgar habit as snoring in all ber life. Upon my snggestiou thst sho has not so good an opportunity to hear beraelf snore as other people, she gives ms a lectnre upon impudence far surpasaing in itsbrillianoy of thought and deliveiy any ot Mrs. Caudle's nocturnal orations. And I am glad to take refnge in mj pillow, not bowever, until' I havs said in a subdued tone, " Withi aU thy faults I love tbe ttill."
" Before WB wers married sbe called ms honey," now I am " old beeswax." Then I was "perfeotly divine," now I am "a perfeot fiend." ThenI waa "noble hearted," now I am "real mean." Then I waa "handsome/ now I am a " horrid lookiug object." Then she would " die fbr me ;" now " wouldn't atir a step to save my neck." Tfaeu she was all pa¬ tience; now ber hope defsrrsd maksth hsr Hsart sick. Than ahe waa mild; now " abs knows bor rights " and is the strong miuded female seeking wbom she may dsvonr. Tom Brown, truly Baid:
"Man Ie the pilot, hla wife is the ocean. He alwaya In tronble, ehe always In motion. (Hers Tobf, taMnK a haudkerohief from his pocket, bnried his facial arrangements in its ample folds, and I waited in silenoe until he bad completed tbe exercise ot his melancholy functions.)
"Toby, yon are indeed amau_ of sorrows. But gazing back throu5h the vista ot ages you will find that mors celebrated men tbau your¬ self have been deceived by women. Adam, Solomon, Sampaon and Holofemes, wsrs vio¬ tims of tbs " gay decsivsr," and Socratsa' life was shortened, by the length of his wife's tongae."
" Toby, wben you are desponding and think yon lead a hard lite jnst imagine Socrates, the greatest ot anoient philosophers, contemplating tbe immortality of the sonl, whils Xantippe, his wife, fionrishes a broomstlok over his head.."
" Hs must have beena man of strong nerve,'¦ said Toby.
" Yes, Toby, aud Hrs. Socrates was a most energetic" bonse-kesper."
- Pf them It might be aald.
Wishing eaoh other, not divorced, bnt dead.
They lived respectably aa man and wife."
This question of matrimony is one whioh requires considerable meditation aud fore¬ thought, since in most oases it is a deoision tor life. There are a great many pros and cons coimeoted with it. Some fanatics ory out agahist the institution in toto, and in a tone of Scripture authority say, " Go to the maiden aunt thou single man, consider her ways and be wise." They oontend that oeUbaoy "obaste as the iciole" is the normal oouditiou ot man, and that "many a flower is bom to blnsh un¬ seen aud waate its fragrance on tbe desert air." I myself, db not think that Providenoe is .on the Bide of oellbaoy. Philosophy and Katnre are opposed to it.
- There awims no goose so grey, but soon or late, Bhe flnda soma honest gander for a mate."
Ons ot tbs anoisnts said that "a yonng man ^ould never marry when old, and an old man, never." Tfaat is jnst sncb a sentiment as I shonld expect from a vinegar-faced ante- diluvlan who had been often "jilted" by the females of antiquity..
(Bers ons of Toby's "olive branohes" came ronning into tbe offios, aud Bald, "mothersays for father to coms right homs this minate.")
. " Toby, ons wert before you go. I wish yoa would call again soon, I will give yoa the dolsfol expsiisnoe of » bachslor, whioh may prove ths Uim oi oowUtion to yout Woonded spirit." ..-

THE BEACON'S DIIEMMA; Or, the XTse of the Beautiful
Deacon Tilden had the squarest, neateat white houae that ever showed its keen angles from the dusky clumps of oid Ulao bashes.— In front of it stood, on each side of tbe door¬ way, two thrifty oherry-treea, whicb bore a baabel eaoh every season. Exospting ths aforementioned lilac treea, there was not a fiower or shrub rouud ths placs. Hose bushes tbe Deaoon thonght rotted tbs honss, and the honeysuckle which his wife tried to train over
E'' e porch, .was tom down wben the painters me, and on the whole, ths Deacon said, bal waa the use of putting it np, so long as il did not bear auy thing 7
By the side ot the house was a thrifty, well kept garden, with plenty of currant bashes, gooseberry bushes, aud quince trees—and ths beets aud oarrots, aud onions were the pride ofthe Deacon's heart; bnt, as he often proud¬ ly said, " everything was for uie "—there was notbing fauoy about it. His wife put iu tim¬ orously one aeason for a flower-border—Mra. Jenkyns had given her a petunia, and Mrs. Simpkins had brought her a package ot flower seeds from New York—and aoa bed was laid out. But ths thrifty Deaoon soon found tbat the weeding of it took tims that Mrs. Tilden migbt give to her dairy, or to making sbirts, and knitting stookings, and so it really troub¬ led his conscience. The next spriug he turned it into hia com-field; and wheu his wite mildly Intimated ber disappointment, said placidly, " After all, 'twas a tbing of no nse, and took time"—and Mrs. Tildsu being a womau, and oue of tbe kind of saints who alwaya suppose tbemselves miserable sinners, specIaUy con¬ fessed her sin of being inwardly vexed abont the incident iu ber prayera tbat night, aud prayed that her eyes migbt be turned off from beholding vanity, and that she might be qnick¬ ened in the way ot minding her work.
The tront paijir Bf ths Deacon's house was the most frigid asylum of neatness tbat ever disconraged the eyes and heart of a -visitor. The tour blank walls were guiltless of any en¬ graving or paintiug, or of any adornment bnl au ordinary wall paper, and a framed copy of the Deolaration of Independence—on each of tbe tbree aidea atood four cbaira—nnder the looking-glass was a abiuiug mahogany table, witb a large Bible and an almanack on it— and a pair of oold, giislening braas andirons illustrated tbe fireplace. The mantel shelf above bad a pair of bright braaa candleaticks, with a pair of snuffers between—and that was all. Tbe Deacon liked il—It was plain and simple—no nonsense about it—everything for uee and notbing for sfaow—it Bulled him. His wife sometimes sighed and looked rouud it, when she was sewing, as if she wanted some¬ tbing, and then sung iu the good old psalm—
imothsVe enfCused'eyei^ .''it UVoiieCot the mmt utefiil tbisg* that.bU. beesiirengiitInto the honse this many a day." ¦ "I don't Bee how you're going to mal^e that ont," said the'Deactin, looklag apprel^enslve at -the young Wisdom that-had rites in his bonsehold. '
"What win yon; wager me, father,that I will prove out of your own month that thla stataette ia.as nssfalaa yonr oart and oasn!"
"I know you've got a great way of ooming round folks, and twiching them up bsfore. tbey fairly know where they are; but.I'U- stan' yon ou this queatlon, any way.". And the Deacon put bis y^llow'silk bandanna oyer, bis bald bead, and took np his ilositiou In the' window seat..
"Well now, father, nhat is the uss ofyour oart and oxen >" . -
"Why, I oould network tbs farm wlthont thsm, and yoii'd all havs qotbing to sat, dttiik,, or wear,"
- "Well, and what is. the ose lit our eating, drinking, and wearing!"
"Use 1 why we oould not keep alive wilh- outit." ' .
"And what Te the use ot our keeping aUvs!"
" The uss ofonr keeping alive ?"¦
"Yes, to be sure, why dd we try and BtHve and twist and tum to keep alive, and what'a tbe uae of Uving T" - '
" Living 1—why, we want to live; we enjoy living-:—all oreaturea do—dogs and cati-and every kind of beast. . Life ia swest."
"Theuasof living, then, ia that we enjoy itf"
"Yes."
" Well, we all snjoy this slatustte, so that then is the game valae to tbat, that there Is< in Hving; and if yonr oxen and carte and iood and clothes, and all that you call nscessaiy tbinga, have no value sxospt to keep in life, and Ufe has no value exoept enjoyn)ent, then tbis statnette is a short out to the great thing for whioh yonr farm and everythmg else is' deaigned. You do not enjoy yoar cart for what it is, bat because of its use to get food andolotheB—and tood and oltithes. we value, tor ths snjoymsnt tliey give. But a statnette or a picture, or any beantifal thing, gives en¬ joyment at once. We enjoy it the moment we see it—^tor itself, and not tor any uss we mean to make ot it. So that strikes the great snd of Uts qaicker thau anything else, don't it f Hey, talber—haven't I got my oase ?"
" I believe the pigs are getting into ths gar- dsn," said ths Dsaoon, ruahing ont of th's tront door.
But to bis wits be said before going to bsd, " Isn't it amazing the way Jethro oau talk ? I oouldn't do it myself, but I had it iu me thongh, if I'd had his advautages. Jethro ia a chip of tbe old blook."
THE CHILD AUGEL.
" Prom Tanity tarn off my eyee;
Lel no corrupt design Or covetonn desire arise Within this heart of mine,"
The corrupt design to whiob Ibis estimable matron had been tempted, had been the pur¬ chaee of a pair of Parian flower-vases, whose beaaty bad stmck to her heart when sbe went with her batter and eggs to the neighboring oily—but recollecting berself in time, ahe bad reaolutsly shut her eyes to the allnremsnt, and spent the money vtefuUy in buying loat sugar.
For it is to be rsmarksd that tbs Deaoon was fond of good eating, and prided himself on ths bonutiss ofhis wife's table. Few woman knew-bettsr how to set one—and the snowy bread, golden butter, olear preaerves aud jellies were themes of adiniratlou at atl the toa-tablsB in ths land. The Deaoon didn't mind a few oents iu a ponnd more for a nicer ham, and would uow and then bring in atreat of oysters from the oity when they were dear¬ est. These were coTrt/or(s,^e Bald-—oue mnst stretch a point for the comforts of life.
The Deaoon must not be mistaken for a tyrannical man or a bad basband. Wbeu he quietly put hia wife's flower-patch into hlB com-field, he thought be had done her aer¬ vice by onrlug ber ofan absurd notion for things that took time aud made trouble, and were otno use ; and ahe, dear soul, nevor had breathed a dissent to auy coarse of his, loud enough to let him know she had one. He langhed in his sleeve often, wben he saw her so tranquUly knitting or shirt-making at those timea sbe had been wont to give to her-'poor little contraband pleasnres. As for the flowsr- vaaea, they were repenled of—aud Mrs. Tilden pnt a hand foU of spring anemoues iuto a craoked pltcber, and set it on ber kitchen Uble, tiU tbe Deacon loaaed tbem out of the window—" he couldn't bear to see weeds growing round."
The poor Uttle woman had a kind ot chronic heart-sioknesB, like the piuiug of a teething child, but sbs nsver knew exactly what itwas Bbswantsd. It sbs over was. sick, no man oould bo kinder than the Deaoon. He haa been kuowu to harness iu aU haste, and rush to the neighboring town at fonr o'clock iu the j moming, that he might bring ber some deli¬ oaoy she had a faniiy for—for that he oould aee tfae nae of, bnt he could not sympathize in her craving desire to see Powers' Greek Blave, whioh was exhibiting in a neighboring town. " What did Chrietlan people waut of iftm images!" he wauted to know. He thonght the Soriptnres put that down-^" Eyos have they, bnt they ase not—ears have they, but they hear not—neither speak they through their throat. They that make them ars like nnto them; so ia every one that trusteth in tfaem." Tfaere was tfae Deacon'a opinion of the arts; and Mrs. TUden only sighsd, and wished sfae oould see it, tfaat was aU.
Butit came to pasa that tfas Dsacon'ssldsit son went to live in New York, and from that time sirange changes begau to appear in ths tamily tbat tbs Deacou didn't like; bnt as Jethro was a smart, driving lad, and making money at a greal psce,'bs at first Bald nothing. But on bis mother's birth day, down he oame and bronght a box for fais motber, whioh, be¬ ing unpacked, contained a Farian statuette of. Paul and Virginia—a lovely, simplo little gToaj) as ever told ita story in olay.
Everybody was soon Btandiug round it in opeutmonthed admiration, jtnd poor -Mrs. Tilden wiped her eyes more than once, as ahe looked on it. It seemed a vision of beanty in' the desolate neatne's of the bsst room.
"Very pretty, I s'pose," said the Dsaoon, doubtfully—for like moat lathers of Bpirifodi tweiity-(hree oidera, he began to feel a little- in.awe of his son—r" but dear me, what a sight of money to give tor a thing tbat after all is ofnonsel" . .

The Nelson Hotel was the largest and moat faafaionable house of resort in a town on the sea shore of a popnlar watering place.famons in the annals of ths wealthy. It stood not far from ths brink of this Bounding ssa, and com¬ manded a prospeot ot surpassing beauty. All day long tbe wfaite winged ships laid agaiust tfae blue sky, and tfae favoring bresaes wafted them iu and'out ofthe harbor, sending some, to " home sweet home," aud bearing otfaers towards the scented isles of tfas tropics, where the palms glisten iu an almost perpetual snn¬ shine, aud tbs fields ars roay with southoro flowers. In ths snmmer time tbe Nelson Honse was always thronged.
Among the very seleot few wfao came for tbe purpose of iuvigorating and improving health, were a yonug couple by ths nams of Hayden. Harriot, tbe wife, was a most inter-' eating woman, not yet tbirty, witb a qniet, gsntls mauner, and a voles whoss vsry toue was musio. Sbs was a New Eugland womau, of Puritan extraction, and a sweet praotical Christian. Johu llaydeu was fully as pre- poasesalng as his wife. But tbe sweetest creature in this baautifnl gronp, was little AnloineUe Hayden, a ohild ofthree years, and one of the loveliest creations tbat painter ever transferred to canvass. It was not the giowing oheek, so ronnd and crimson, not the fnll blue eye, nor the rich, long ourls of a golden color, nor yet tbe psrfeot fignre and ivory' whitsness of tfae brow, tbat constituted tfae beauty of this earthangsl. Thsrs was a nameless some¬ tbing tbat looked ont from those eyes, tbst spread a heavenly beaaty over tfas transparsnt features, lhat spoke in every mnsical tone of her sweet voice, that moved in every graceful motiou—and whioh led svsn strangsrs to say, " What a heavenly ohild I"
She waa not robed iu flonnces or laces, or ribbons. Her Uitle limbs were unfettered by fashion, and had tfae freest play; her waya were all nalural, her walk'aud talk and play, were all as Utile child's walk and talk and play sbould be, and very soon tbe tbongbtless ones leamed to look npon Nettie with a sort of awe, as if sbe oheoked theb: worldlinesB.
Loose Ben waa au uuooath oaricature of a human being, of sixtson years of age, alonoh- Ing In bis dress, dirty, sometimes ragged, bearing all.the gibes put upou him, with sal¬ len mien and stoical sUence. Loose Ben abnfiled, looked saspiolonsly at everybody, from tmder his eyebrows,—ahrank from every human voice, never seemed to care whether they oaUed bim tool or knave, aud only oared to gather his loose limbs together in some sun¬ ny plaoe after hia services were over for tfae day, and think—^what oonld the poor outcast think? He was a German, and possibly never knew his parentage; he wonld not say whether he hsd a father or mother. It was his dnty to make fires in the rooms of tfaose who were In¬ vaUds, iu the early morning, and tor this pur¬ pose tfae fatfaer of little Antiouette employed faim, tfaoagh it was summer time, yet tfae ohiu air of the sea made tbe early moming raw and oold.
So with an armful ot wood. Loose Ben wended hia way to namber EG, a larga room ou the second story. As fae eutered, Mr. Hayden glanced up trom his dressing ta¬ ble, and foUowed his lazy motions witb his eye for a full moment. Little Antoinette sat on the floor by'the bedside, half covered witb tbe laoe curtains tbat fell like spray over her spiritual face and figure. She, too,-looked on earnestly, snspending faer play tor a moment, and then, as fais labor progressed, s'ls stood up, aud with hsr half-inspirsd look, mored toward hlro,'tiU ahe stood by his side. He gazed towards her, seeming -paralyzed into greater stupidity ather swset Bmile. She did not mock him', scream oi^t, or spring trom him as tfae other ohiidreu'did, noroaU him unfeel¬ ing names, bat as she. stood there with a saintly light ou-her broWj she laid one wfaite, dimpled hand on his ragged sleeve, and •wtth winning voice asked "doa yotlote Gudf"
He was too much startled for the moinentto speak, but ths great sbiuing oyes StiU beiimed into his laok Instre orbs, and again that voice ot surpassing beauiy asked, "does you love Qodf". .- ' Ee looked up, he looked down awkwardly, and In his broad Dntch dialect Baidhalf sheep- lahly, "ya-M." -
"Doaayoa proy to God In the moming?" peraiated the Uttie oue, stUl keeping her hand upon faim, and fae in the same voice answered "yo-fls." -v.,.
Tfaen tfae little oue seemed satisfied; abs danced and capered about—ofaatted with tfais coarse, boorish boy—watohed tfae curling flame as it asceudsd; and built, all tiuoouBoioasIy, a fire ot love aud gratitude on ths altar of that nuonltlvated heart. > .
The seaaon wenV on, and Nettle^a motber improved in health. The thin flgnre ronnded oat,the palroheeka grew flaahed, and'she took long waUcs and dilves a1ong.-the quiet bejoh.
