FOOTSTEPS ON THE OTHEB SIDE,
Sitting In my hamble doorway,
Gazing ont Into the night. Listening to lhe stormy inmnlt
With ft kind of sad delight- Wait I for the loved who comfls not.
One whose etep I long to hear ; Ooe wbo, though he lingers from me,
StUI deaieat of the dear. Soft fae comes  -uow heart, be qalet—
Leaping in trinmphant pride. Oh ! It la a stranger's fuotateps
Gone by ou the other aide.
All the night aeema flUed with weeping,
Wlnda are wailingmournfntly; And the ralu-lears together
Journey to the roatlesa aea. I can fancy, Kea. yoa murmar.
As thoy with yonr waters flow, Llitfl tbe grlefa of single beings,
Uaklng np a nation's woe 1
Branches, bid yoar gne»ts be elleot;
IluKh a momeat, fretfnl rain. Breeze. Ktop sighing—let me listen,
Ood grant not in vain. In my checlc the blood is rosy.
Liko the bluahes oi a bride, Joy!—alaa! a stranger footatep
Goea by on the other bide.
Ah! how many wait forever.
For the ttepa that do not como! Wait nntU the pitying aogels
Bear them to a peaoefal homo! many in the eUU of midnight
In tha a'reeta have Iain and died, WhUe the aound of humau .'bohtepB
Went hy on the other aide.
A DISCONSOLATE WIBOWEE.
*What can I saj to comfort yon, dear Augustas ?'* and Auabel took her brother's Iiand in hers and pre.<ised itwarmlj.
"Nothing, vay precioas sister; such woe as miue is too deep for anj plummet of con¬ solation to reaoh." And *' dear Aagnatua" took ont bis biack bordered handkerchief and applied it to his eyes.
Anabel clasped her hand despairingly, and loolted tearfullj' at him, tunrmnring sympa thizingly—"Poor, dear Aaguitus, how he loved her !*'
Augastus sighed deeply, and moaned in a low tone—" W« were so happy together, my poorRachnl;" aud again the black-bordered handkerchief went to his eyes.
" My alUicted brother," marmnred Anabel, "how deep the waters you are called apon to go throHRh."
Angnstus shuddered, as if he felt the wild dashiugs of the waves, aud said in a plaintive voice—'• Dear Rachel, how amiable she was !'* " Very, dear Augustus." *' How considerate, how devoted to me I" "0, escde'iiugly."
*' And how fiue an appearance she present¬ ed I" aud liH raised his eyes to the portrait festoon*-d with black crape, which delicate attentiou he had himself paid it that morn¬ ing.
Anabel, too, raised her eyes, but was silent as she gazed upon lhe pictured form of the departed Rachel, so angular, so dark, and so frowning.
" I don't think you ever did Rachel's cbarms jastice, Auabel.    Slie was a lovely woman." " O, brother, I fully appreciated her, I as¬ sure you I did."
" And yoo. do not do jastice to my depth of grief. Are yon aware that I am a mourner forever ?" Poor, dear, dear Rachel, I have lost all in losing thee!" And again the tear¬ ful eyes were raised to the grim Rachel, who looked dowu with an expression on her faoe which said, " Indeed!"
There was a silence of aeveral moments, during which Augustas looked thoughtfally into the fire.   At leugth he said—
"Hand me my deak beside yoa, Anabel; it will be a relief to my feelings to write an obitnary."
"Dou't think of it at present, dear Augus¬ tus ; your nerves are not strong enoagh for it now. Only think of the trying scenes throngh which yoa have jost passed."
"Hand me my deak, will you? Itiaa saored duty I owe my dead."
While Augustus was engaged in this touch¬ ing work, Anabel was pondeiing on the pro¬ priety of dispensing wilh the black crape folds on her new silk dress, " so that I may wear it in colors," was her inward ejaculation ; "for who knows, Augustus may marry again before I have done mourning for dear Rachell" She checked the thought—" How dreadfal!" Augustus, the deeply sorrowing, marry be¬ fore ahe had time to get out of black 1 It was a Satanic whisperiug sarely, aud grossly unjust to the digconaolate widower. She was roused from her sombre meditations by the voice of Augustus :
*' This is what 1 havo written, dear sister, aud ifyou can ofier any saggestiona of a ten¬ der nature, pray do so."
"Departed this glnomy vale of teais for a blesat-d hotue of jny, Richel, the beloved and honored consort of Augustus Childs, Esq., and daughter and heiress of Peter Smidt, Esq. Beaatiful aud accomplished, amiable and iutelleoinal, devout aud charitable, gen erous, devoted, cbartning in every respect, thua hoA Hed to angelic coarts, amid the joy- lul ahnuts of the cliprnhic army, crying, wel¬ come ! welcome! one who walked the earth in seraph's guise."
Here Anabel gave a slight cough to cover somethiug like a laugh, and Anguetas paused a moment and asked plaintively, " Do you object to anything ?"
*' 0 uo, by no means. It ia so very touch¬ ing, pray proceed."
*' How deep the woe iulo which her numer friends have bt*en plnugfd by her lamented absence in rnahus of bliss! But their loss haa been the angels' gaiu. But her husband, so foudly attached to this fair object—what words cau depict his overwhelming gtief— grief that will prove as lasting as it is deep ? Bat here we drop the curtaiu ; too sacred this woe for the common eye. Suffice it to say, he utter:; tbe seutimeut of the submissive Job—' The Lord bath taken away ; blessed be the name of the Lord." '
" How pious! how touching I what pathosl" and Anabel raised her eyes, sparkliug with ill concealtid mirth.
*'Yoa must admit Rachel waa no ordinary woman, Anabel."
"I never knew auother like her," said AnabeL
"She was too good for me," sighed Au¬ gustus.
" 0, vaj dear brother, why say so ?" ejacu¬ lated Anabel."
" I can never oease to moum, poor Raohel; hut X feel I muat aoon follow her. I cannot live withoat her," moaned Aagustaa.
'* You muat make an effort to do ao, Augua- tn0, you positively must. It is your dnly to Uve. You muat rouse yoarself from this heart-rending state, Y'ou are nol very old, only forty. Why, there may yet be a world of happiness in store for you."
" None, none," moaned Augustua; my heart is buried in my Rachel's grave."
"You must make an effort to get it ont from there, dear brother ;. indeed you muat."
" 0 no I   Would I were there too V
" This is positively wicked: indeed it is.	
Yon mnst not talk so: Raohel would not approve of it,"
" Ah, poor, dear Rachel," moaned Augus¬ tas, piteously.
'' Come, now, take sometbing to soothe you, and then go to bed. Good night; don't de¬ spair ; you will be happy yet."
AngastOB anawered, " Never, never," and he oontinued repeating, like Foe's dismal laveo, "£feTer,neTermorer' until thedoor olosed npon Anabel, andhe was left alone
with hia ererlastinff grief, 'and the dismally draped. portrait of the lost Raohel looking down grimly from the wall.
On reoohing her room, Anabel threw heraelf into a ohair, and langhed more heartily than was becoming, cDnsiderlng that dear Raohel had only been placed in her grave that mom¬ ing.
"Ireally doteliere th&t, after all, Aagus- tas will die of grief. Voa have no idea, Myra, how devotedly he waa attaohed to dear Raohel."
"Indeed 1'* and Uyra raised her prondi oalm eyes, and looked at her.
"He eujoyed suoh bliss with bia poor Raohel, that his married life was 'a perpetual feast of neotar'd sweets.'"
" Wfaen did he make that disoovery ?" I" A few honrs ago, dear sister. He is per¬ feotly inconsolable,! assnre yon. I tried my very beat at soothing him, butit is of no nse. He will not be comforted, bnt is hopelessly wretohed."
" Time is a powerfal soother," responded Myra. " Leave the work to him: he will do it moat effectually, no doubt. As the poet expressed it—
* "Hme, tbat ajfed narae, rocked me to patience.' "
"0 never, never. Wfay, my dear sister, yon don't know how dearly he loved faer.— He never will get over it, I assure you he witl not. How we mnst faave wronged him In supposing he married Raohel for money 1 O no, it was genuine love that induced him to take for his father-in-law that vulgar, fat old plebiau, Peter Smidt, Hsq. And he's grown so pions, too, I know he will end it by becom¬ ing a minister: this terrible grief faas tarned all hia thoaghts heavenward."
" I am happy lo hear it," reaponded AXyra, quietly, "for they were very far from that di¬ reotion before."
Weeks progressed, bnt Augustus remained shrouded in woe ; not one ray of peaoe had warmed np his deadened heart. He would write on nothing but blaok-edged paper; cov¬ ered every arlicie tfaat had belonged to dear Raohel with blaok crape; shut up her cham¬ ber, and every time he paased the closed door shuddered as if he saw her pale ghost stalk¬ ing about; read her obitnary at night, before retiring, and paid fais devotions to her pictn¬ red form almoat hourly. He kept the laat pocket-handkerchief she had uaed carefully folded up in tissue paper among his shaving articles. His sisters began to thiuk he would never get over it, and as to his marrying again—never, never I
"Don't even hint at such a thing, Anabel he said, with horror, when she ventured to suggest tfaat, perfaapa, one day, he might re¬ place the lost Baehel. "I meant years and yeara off, dear Augastus," she said, almost timidly. " Of oourae not for twenty years, or perfaapa flfteen."
"Hash! hush I I venerate Raofael's memory too deeply. I loved her moat devotedly.— Pray, never speak in this heartless strain again; it is very repulsive to my feelings." "I only meant to console you, Auguatus." " You take a most remarkable way of ad- miniatering oonaolalion, when yon know tbat my sorrow is as deep as the day when I buried Rachel."
'*Bat yon must feel so lonely," persisted Anabel.
" Lonely f Have I not my aisters and Ra¬ chel's treasured memory 7 No, Anabel, I can never marry again. All I ask is a quiet rest beside Rachel's coffined form."
" How ahockiug I Don't, I pray, indulge in snch gloomy thoughts."
"You ask me to be gay," aaid the discon¬ solate widower ; " but yoa aak an impossibll- ty, somethiug utterly impracticable, a state of feeling I can never again reaoh."
" 0, uo, Augusta, not gay—thdt you can never be again—only a little less gloomy.— Don't think about dying, and the grave, and tombstones, and allthat sort of thing."
" Wfaen I die," continued tfae bereft one. " you will see lhat I am placed beaide Rachel. On our tomb yon will hava engraved—* Tfaey were lovely in their lives and iu their deaths they were not divided.' "
" Yes, brother," said Anabel, with a little hysterical sob.
" You will have the last pocket-handker¬ chief Rachel used placed over my faoe." "Yes," replied Auabel. " My will you will find in the tin case.   I have left every thing to Myra and yourself."
" 0, thank you, dear brother. How consid¬ erate in youl"
"My death will be your gain, Anabel," and the bereaved aighed, submissively.
" My precious brother, don't suggest such a thing. But you know I have long wished to go to Europe, and your lamented death will give me an opportunity of doing so."
" Go, go, enjoy what I leave you, Anabel. The day will come when, like me, you muet lie down in the dnst. I have heaped np riches."
"For me to enjoy? How kind iu you brother. Good-bye!" And Anabel extended her hand.
" Wfaat do you mean?" said Auguatus,draw¬ ing baok angrily.
" 0,1 crave your pardon, I really forgot, I dreamed I had read yonr will, and was just leaving for Earope."
"I may live many years yet," said Augus¬ tus, moodily.
"Certainly, only I thonght you were resol¬ ved to die. I began to fear you contempla¬ ted suioide."
" I am miserable enough for anything. I believe I will go to the club."
" Pray do; no doubt it will help yon to for¬ get Rachel l"
"I do not wish to forget her ; * the heart that has tmly loved never forgets.'"
"0, no, Augustus, not exaotly forget her; only soften your giant grief that is wearing away your very life."
Augustus stood a moment and contemplated the fair face of the deceased Raohel; then, aa if overcome by the remembrance of the paat, be snatched up the deeply-craped hat that atood on the table and wended fais way to tfae club, too muoh afflicted to stay quietly at home.
The next morning, at breakfast, he looked up from his plate, and said, in a diamal tone— " Anabel, yon will please never allude to my marrying again. You woundedTuy heart he¬ yond expression, last night."
" O, dear brother, I am verry sorry ; but I have known of several gentlemeu wh6, when they were unfortunate enough to lose their wife, found another, and I thought—"'
"Htjahl hush! not auother word on this sad snbject."
Three months passed slowly but sadly.— Racfael wae in faer grave, and its long shadow fellffloomily upon Augustus* heart and hearth. A weeping willow had been planted over the dreary monnd, aud waved its loug branches solemnly in the breeze. A few fragrant violets grew oat of poor Raofaera head,—that is, the head of faer grave; and at her feet, a white rosebush flourished in charming luxuriance. It was a daiuty Uttle spot, poor Rachel's grave, and here Augustas paid a visit every time he spied the ohurch-yard gates. Here he stood on Sunday to think of Raohel, perfaaps, or to gaze more conveniently at tfae giriisfa beauty of Miss Villers, as afae tripped through the ohnrofa-yard into the side-door of the church. This laat idea promulgated by those proverh- iaUy spiteful creatures—the old maids of the church, wfao, having lost all their youth, envy the young, and who are ^ crazy to get married at forty as they were at twenty, and who tear to sbreda the charactera of their more fortunate slaters, who win in the world's lottery that prize, a hnsband. Bo avid Augas¬ tus, when Anabel told him of sandry remarks that had been made oonoerning him.
** Bat it was not an old maid that slandered yott,AngMlns; itifMaxnarriedlady. Mrs. Montjoy says she hasjratohed youinohnrofa, and you look bnt of ths"^window with one tearfol eye bn Baohel'a grivo,-while the other
Villers. She even says ahe saw yon on last Sunday gather a boquet from Raofael's grave, and preseut it to Mias Villers as she was going into ohurch, who, placing it to her Grecian nose, thanked yon with her sweetest smile, Uttle dreaming it "smelt of mortality." Poor dear Raohel, I don't know how she woald rel¬ ish furnishing boquets for her rival. I don't say this, Augustus, Mrs. Montjoy said it.— Don't frown so angrily ; of course I don't be¬ Ueve a word of it. I know faow devotedly attaohed you were to dear Raohel, and how yon planted her grave, and eveu took tfae watering-pot in your hands and watered the plants to make them grow, and how you treasured up in tissue paper the last hand¬ kerchief she naed, aud how you put faer bon¬ net on a table, and had a little railiug built around it to keep profane hands away, and how touchingly you draped faer picture in crape I 0, no, I know you will never, never marry again." Aagustaa was silent. Was it ominous ?
Four months and two weeks—then a tall tombalone reared its lofty head amid its sister tombs in the charch-yard. It waa a oharming device—a stone figure bending over a stone urn, wfaich urn was supposed to contaia the aahea of the departed Rachel.
" What is thia, my dear ?" asked Mr. Mont¬ joy, as he stood before the gleaming marble. "Is this fignre tbe bereaved husband!"
"Ono, my love, by no means," said Mrs. Montjoy; " are younot mau enongh to kuow that this is the deceased Rachel herself weeping over her own ashea ? It is most touchingly apnropriate: we wives feel it to be ao, I assure you—for if ever creatures had cause to weep for their own deaths, we are the ones. Scarcely ia the turf heaped above oar cold clay when the first mourner at our funeral straightway goes and forgets what manner of woman we were. Mary slips very quietly into Jane's place, and Ruth sits as comfortably in the coruer of the pew as if six months before Ann had not sat there before her."
"My dear, your remarks astonish me. If you died, I assure yojl^ost solemnly, Iwould weep for yoa forever."
" Yes, so you would," aaid Mrs. Mountjoy, calmly; ''but how long think you, is a wid¬ ower's forever f Only uutil he gets another wife."
" 0, Sarah, how little faith you faave in ¦man's love."
" I faave great faith In it so loug as it lasts; but when a woman is under gronnd her ohances are small."
"My dear, I protest I would not marry were I so unfortunate as to bury yoa.
" No protestations, my love; I do not re¬ quire them of you. Do as you please when j am gone; 1*11 promise yoa not to haunt your new wife. There comes Miss Villers to see the tomb.   How do you like it, my dear ?"
" 0, it's a love," cried the young lady, en- thuaiastioally. " I hope when I die my hus¬ hand will treat me to just such a tomb-stone as thia."
" No doubt," responded Mrs. Mountjoy, "he will treat you to this wry one. Two of you can easily get under it." The young lady frowned and walked away.
Six months and Cwo weeks, and Augustas and his sisters aat in solemn conclave. The great grief was over, the stormy billows had subsided, the olouds had paased away. "The funeral meats" were about to *-famish a wed¬ ding feast." Augustus was going to be mar¬ ried. " Marriedl" Anabel clasped her hand in inarticulate horror, while Myra looked calmly upon the comforted widower.
" Did I say I wonld never marry again ?" asked Augastus, angry at these mutedemon- strations of aurprise. "Did you not say so dear broth er ?" "Never, never I You ntterly misconceived my meaning. I wish to compliment Rachel's memory, which I deeply revere, and I caujiot better do il than by marrying again."
" Six montha aud two week ?" murmured Anabel.
" Can a man mourn forever ?" asked An¬ guatua indignantly.
"Can a man mourn at all?" aaked Myra, speaking for the llrst time.
"O, my dear sister," sighed Anabel, as tbe wedding cortege drove from the charch door on the foUowing Thursday, and the face of Misa Villers peeped out of the window of the bridal coach, " it ia the will in the tiu oaae that afflicts me. He has made another and cut us off withom. a shilling. He faas gone off, too, without giving me new barial direc¬ tions. Of coui'ab he wishes to cover hia face with dear Rachel's handkerchief; Ishallsend it after him?"
" Ceriainly," responded Myra, quietly; he might like to use it now."

TO THE^IELST"
The followiug contains such wholesome advice to the female portion of the commu¬ nity, that we are constrained to lay it before our readers, that it may be read and pondered over again and again :
"Ladies—caged birds of beautiful plumage, but aickly looks—pale pets of the parlor who vegetate in an unhealthy atmosphere, like the potato germinating in a dark ceUar, why do yon not go into the open airand warm sun¬ shine, and add lustre to your ateps, and vigor to your frames ? Take early morning exer ciae, let loose your corset atringa and run up the hilla on a wager, and down again for fnn; roam the fielda, climb the fences, leap the ditches, wade the brooka, and, after a day of exhilerating exercise and unrestrained liberty, go home with an appetite acquired by healthy enjoyment.
"The blooming and beautiful youug lady— rose-cheeked and bright-eyed—who can dam a stocking, mend faer own frocks, oommand a regiment of pots aud kettles, feed tbe pigs milk the cowa, and be a lady when reqnired, is the girl lhat young men are in qnest for a wife. But your pining, acrew-up, wasp- waisted, doll-dressed, consumption-mortga¬ ged, music-murdering, and novel-devouring daughters of fashiou and idleness—^you are no more fit for matrimony than a pnllet Is to look after a brood of fourteen chickens. The truth is, my dear girls, you want less of faah¬ ionable restraint and more Uberty of aotion. More kitchen and leas parlor; more leg exer¬ cise and less sofa; more pudding and lesa piano; more frankness and less mock mod¬ esty. Loosen your waist strings and breathe in tfae pure atmoaphere, aud become some¬ thing as good and beautiful aa natnre de¬ signed."
When the heart is chilled and hardened^ we would give the world for those sweet and warm emotions which are ^he fraits and the towards of virtae, and we sometimes mistake tlua yearaing after what might havo been^mB
MY WIFE'S PIANO.
The deed is acoomplished. My wife has got a piano, and now fareweU the tranqail mind—fareweU content and the evening pa¬ pers, and tbe big olgars that make ambition virtne, oh, fareweU I "And, oh, ye mortal ecginea, whose mde throats the immortal Jove's dread clamors counterfeit!" But stop, I oan't bid them fareweU, for one of them has just arrived. It oame on a dray. Six men oarried it into the parlor, and it grunted awfully. It weighs a ton, shines Uke a mirror, and faas carved Cupids climb¬ ing up its limbs. And such lungs—whew I My wife has oommenoed to praotice, and the first time ahe touched the maohine, I thought we were in the midst of a thunder-storm, and the lightning bad struck the orockery chest. The oat, with taU ereot, took a bee liue for a 'particular friend npon the baok fence, demolishing a six-shilling pane of glass. The baby awoke, and the little feUow tried his best to beat the instrument, but he couldn't do it. It beat him. A teaoher faad been introdnoed into the house. He says he is the last of Napoleon's grand army. He wears a hnge monetaohe, looks at me fiercely, smells of garlio, and goes by the name of Count Run-away-and-never-come-baok-again- by. He played an extract de opera the otfaer nigfat. He ran his fingers throngfa fais faair twice, then grinned, then he cooked his eyes np at the ceiling, like a moukey hunting flies, and ttien came down one of faia fingers, and I heard a deUghtful aound, similar to that produced by a cock-roach dancing upon the tenor string of a fiddle. Down came auother finger, and I waa reminded of the wind whistling through a knot faole in a hen¬ coop. He touohed his thumb, and I thought that I was in an orchard listening to the distant braying of a jackass. Now he rau his flngers along the keys, and I thought of a boy rat¬ tling a stick upou a picket fence. All of a sudden he atopped, and I thoaght something had happened. Then came down both fists, and, oh. Lord! sucfa a noise was never faeard before. I thought a hurricane faad struck the house, and the walls were caving in. I im¬ agined I waa in the oeUar, and a ton of coal was falUng upon my head. I thought the machine had bursted, when the infemal noise stopped, and I faeard my wife ejaculate:
" Exquisite l" *¦ Wfaat the denoe ia the matter?" The answer was, "Why, dear, that's La Sonnambula t" " D—n Sonnambu. la!" thought I, and the Count rolled up his sheet of paper. He calla it music; but for the life of me, I can't make it look like any¬ thing elae than a rail fence with alotof juve¬ nile niggers climbing over. Before that in¬ strument of torture came into the hoase, I oould enjoy myself, but now every darned woman io the neighborhood must be invited to hear the new piano, and every time the blasted thing shrieks out, Uke a locomotive witfa the bronchitis, have to praise its tone, and when the invited guests are playing I have to say, "Exquisite!" "Delightful!" "Heavenly!" and all such trash, while at the same time, I know just aa much about music as a blind codfish. There are more tuning hammers than comforta in our house, —and I wish the inventor of the piano was troubled with a perpetual nightmare, aud obliged to sleep in one of his instruments all his life. As for myself, I had rather put my faead under a tin pau and be drummed to aleep with a pair of smoothing irons tban hear "La Sonnambula," or any other La thumped ont of a piano.
Scatter pennies in front of my houae, and draw together all the wandering minstrels in tbe city, hand-organs, banjos, flddlea, tambo- rines, rattling boues and fish horns ; let juve¬ nile monkeys crawl iu at my windowa iu search of tbree ceut pieces ; let me be awa¬ kened at midnight by the cry of murder; ring tbe bells ixud have a devil of a time general¬ ly—do all this, and I will not complain ; but banish the pianos. My piano haa got to go. I am going to launch the infernal machine out of tbe window, the firat dark night, aud my friends, I advise yon to sleep with cotton in your ears, or wheu she givea her dying grunt you will think you've fallen out of bed, or a fallen star has fallen to roost on your house¬ top. For information of " Young America," I will state tbat all the pieces of brass, wire, aud ivory keys they are welcome to, but the skeleton I want for a refrigerator.

We've aeen a great many more disagreeable looking things, and confess to a weakness for bright eyes and pretty hair. Undoabtedly her place ia home, bat that's no reason she is to shut herself up tbere until she looks Hke a celery atalk or a lump of chalk. Who would buy the coal and the calico—the marketing and the uew music—if womau is never to set faer foot over the threshold ? The mau who wrote lhat heresy never kept house, we know.
"Woman should always be calm and com¬ posed, like a peaceful landscape or a serenely shininig star. Her whole manner should oarry out the idea of rest and repoae 1"
All very well if tho gentleman iu charge of these "serenely shining stars" would allow them to remain up amoug the clouda, high above all aablunary toils and turmoils! But what is the luminary to do wbeu husband brings home a guest to dinuer on Monday, when the "wash is in high procedure—when an extra chicken has to be broiled, and the best table-cloth whisked on at three aud a quarter minutes' notice 1 Has our critic a right to complain, if his wife makes her appearanoe, with face redder than the pickled beata, and manuers deoidedly flurried ?
" A woman should never, under any cir¬ cumstances whatever, lose her temper?"
Might aa weU teU the wind not to blow on a Maroh day, or the raiu not to come down in Aprtt! It doea them good to « explode" occasionally. A woman, to be good for any¬ thing, must have as much spice ani sparkle in her as a bottle of champagne, and if the cork comea out ouce iu a while, with a bang why, that don't depreciate the value of the goods 1
But let the men preach; it don't amount to anytfaing after all. We-Jwld them captive by every one of their dickey-strings and coat buttons—by the rents in their etookinga and the toothaches and headaches they want to be nursed through 1 They can't do without na, and aU this good advice and assumed air of bravado is only a very natural chafing under tfae invisible chaina. On the whole, we think it is rather fooliah to take any DOtloe at all of it. Talk away, gentlemen, you won't hurt onr feeUngs.

STOEY FOE YOUTH.
ROBERT AND RACHEL.
Robert and Raohel were growing quite tall, for the latter was between eight and nine years of age, and hA brother a year older; they onght, therefore, to have Icnown better than to quarrel. A sad tning it it f0r young people to give way to a hasty tem per.
How sweet it is in peace to Uve; Each other's faUlngs to forgive—
. Each otherohnrdensbearl For love tbe darkest honr can blesB, Spread roand ns beams of happiness. And drive away onr care.
Raohel and Robert were at play together, nuder their father'a atudy window, fae with hia humming top, and ahe with her skipping rope, when Robert, seeing a long slraw on the ground, picked it up and began to balance it on fais finger. Tfaia he did very oleverly for some time, till his sister, wfao was fond of a bit of miachief, gave him a puah, when down fell the straw to the ground. Robert, instead of taking the aot In a good-humored way, rose np iuto a passion, and an angry quarrel took plaoe.
" You are a provoking thing, Rachel! I wanted to aee how long I could baiauce the straw, and now you have prevented me. I have a great mind to break your-skipping- rope, that I have."
"Break my skipping-rope, indeed, yon passionate boy 1   Do you tbink I am a ohild?"
" Yes, I think you are a child, and a very slUy child too. You are always doing some ill-natured thing or other; I would not be a meddlesome girl for tfae world."
And I would not be a foolish, passionate boy on any accouut. You are always break¬ ing out in yonr temper, and speaking againat girls, and giving yourself airs; but I witl go to play by myself."
In a very teasing manner Rachel walked away, ; nd soon begau to skip and to sing, as though she was happy. Robert, too, seemed to be altogether taken up with hia humming top, whistling louder than usual, that his siater might hear him.
You can not keep up a fire long without fuel, and anger, like fire, requires feeding to keep it burning. In spite of Rachel's aing- ing and Robert's whistling, their hearts did not feel right. By degrees they came nearer together, and at laat said Robert, " Why oau not yoa come aud skip here, Rachel ? there is plenty of room."
" So I would, Robert, if I ahould not be in the way of yonr humming-top."
" Oh, yon would not be iu the way at all, aud if you were, I would move further off". I was foolish in talking about breakiug your skipping-rope ; I did not mean to break it."
" No, I did not think yoa did. It was wrong in me to call you names."
" Aud I also said many things I ought not to have spokeu."
"It waa all my fault for pushing you wheu you were balancing that straw ; but if you will take It up again, I promise not to touoh yon at all."
"And I promise that if you do, I will not be so foolish as to get out of temper about it% kias me, Rachel, and lets us be friends. You are a kind sister to me, and I ought to he a kind brother."
"And so you area kind brother, Robert, only alittle bit quick in your temper aud I am qaicker still. But now pick np your straw, for I should like to see how long you oan bal¬ ance it withoat letting it fall."
Robert tarned round to pick up a straw and saw, to his surprise, his father coming into tfae garden. The truth fiashed on the minds of both Robert and Rachel at onoe, that thongh they had thought their father was out walking, he had been in his study all the while, and must have seen aud heard all that bad taken plaoe ; their faces were as red as the roses on the beds around them.
"And what has been the matter?" aaid their father; " for your faces tell me that all haa not been right with yoa. What has been the matter ?"
"I quarreled with Racfael, father," said Robert, "but I was ont of temper. I am very sorry that I went into such, a passion."
"It was my faalt, indeed, father," said Rachel; *'for wheu Robert was balanoing a straw, I gave him a push and made it fall; it was all my fault."
"My dear children," aaid their father, " I know all about the matter; and though I am glad to hear you own your own faults, and try to excuse one another, yet I really feel ashamed and grieved that my children ahould be angry and quarrel about a straw. It is notouly weakneas,but wickedness, to give way to bitterness. Ifyou love one another, you should bear with oue another. Though yoa are now frienda, you can not blot out from yonr memory the ill-natured words you faave spoken, and the hard names you have called each other. Do be more wathful ovei yourselves ; for * He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a oity that ia broken down, and without walls. And be more earneat in yonr prayers to your heavenly Father that a spirit of love may be given you. Ask him to help yoa by his Holy Spirit, that you may be more and more Uke Jesus ; and that, hoping for meroy througfa faith in his precious blood, may leam faow iQ forgive one another.

AFFECTING INCIDENT.
The Albany Express says: On Sunday moming aeveral yonng folks were baptized at Rev. Dr. Magoon's church. The first persou who was baptized was a young girl, perhaps 16 years old, iu the last' stage of consnuiption. She was Uterally arrayed iu faer grave clotbes, it baing understood" tfaat the white robe in which she was baptized was to be wom by faer when dead,—She obtained her mother's permission to be bap¬ tized and then acquainted her pastor with her desire. She was brought lo the pool in the arms of her uncle, attended by hermother and lifted in the arms of the pastor, who gently emersed her head, after repeating the usual words. The acene was very affeotiug, causing some of tfae spectators to aob with emotion. She waa so far gone that It wan feared she might expire dnriug the ceremony, yet after it waa performed she expreaaed a wish to be brought to the ohurch in the after noon, to partake ufthe Lord's Sapper which was granted. After the supper, when in another room she aang the doxology, " Praise Gtod," and when In her oarriage»DK Magoon asked ker'how she felt, she whispered, "J have fought a good fight."

BACE WITH A BULL.
Some forty years ago the managers of a race coarae near Brownsville, on the Mononga¬ hela, pablishtid notice of a race, one mile heats, on a particular day, for a purse of $100, " Free for anything with four lega and hair on."
A man in the neighborhood named Hays, had a ball that he was in the habit of riding to mill with his bag of corn, and he determi¬ ned to enter him for the race. He said noth¬ ing about it to auy one, bat he rode him round the track a namber of times, ou several moon¬ light nighta, nntil the bull had the hang of the ground pretty well, and would keep the right course. He rode with spars, which, the bull considered disagreeable ; so mnch so that he always bellowed when they ware applied to his sides.
On the morning of the race, Uays came npon the ground on horseback—on his bull. In¬ atead ofa saddle he had dried an ox-hide, the head part ofwhich, with the horns still on, he had placed on the bull's rump. He carried a short tin hom in his baud. He rode to the judges' stand, and oOered to euter his bull for the race; but the owners of the horses object¬ ed. Hays appealed to the terms or the uo¬ tice, insisting lhat his bull had " four legs, and hair on," and that therefore he had a right to enter him. After a good deal of swear¬ ing, the jadgps declared themselves compelled to decide that the bull had the right to run, and was entered accordingly.
When the lime for startiDg arrived, the bull and the horses took their places. The horse, racers were out of humor, at being bothered with the bull, and at the burlesque, which they supposed was iutended, but thought that it would be over as soon as the horses atart¬ ed.
When the signal was given, they did start. Hays gave a blast with his horn aud sunk his spurs into the side of the buU, who bounded off wit^ a terrible bawl, at no trifling speed, the dried ox-hide flapping up and down and rattling at every jump, making a combination of noises that had never been heard on a race¬ course before.
The horses all fiew the track, every one seeming to be seized with a sadden determl¬ natiou to take the shortest cat to get out of the Redstone coantry, and not one of them could be brought back in time to save their distance.    The parse was given to Hays.
A general row ensned ; but the fan of the thing pat the orowd all on the side ofthe ball. The horsemen contended they were swindled ont of their purse, and that if it had not been for Hays' hom and ox-hide, which he ought not to have been permitted to bring upon the ground, the thiug would not have tumed out as^it did.
Upon thia, Haya told them that his bull could beat any of their horses any how, and if they would put up a hundred dollars against the purse he had won, he would take off the ox-hide and leav^ his tin horn, and ran a fair race with them. His offer was accepted, and the money staked.
They again took their place at the starting post, and the signal was given. Hays gave the bull another touch with his spur, and the bull gave^a tremendoas bellow. The horses remembering the dreadful sound, thought all the rest was coming as before. Away Ihey went again, in spite of the exertions of their riders, while Hays galloped his bull around the track and won the money.
