We were ushered into a room where, upon a bed with curtains of snowy whiteness, lay a sick woman, whose pale face was almost as white as the pillows upon which her head was resting.

The sick woman, who was now sleeping, and seemed to be dreaming a pleasant dream, for a smile was playing upon her wan face, was apparently al»out forty years of age.

WILLIAMS, You seem to think, dear Timothy that I am in a fair way to lose both my bashfulness and my heart. Of the former I would most gladly be rid, but of the latter I think it wise to retain possession until I have a prospect of winniug a better in exchange for it. I have spoken to you frankly and told you everything, even to the subject of my day dreams. True, I have had some indefinable thoughts which I have not penned, but only because I had not words clearly to express them. In fact, I think no one can clearly express that which he does not clearly realize himself. The lazy mists of thought have sometimes hung around the horizon of my mind; but these, in all their blended light and shade, in all their dim and shadowy outline, the pencil of language cannot paint, and they have not, then, been presented to your mental vision, only because I could not present them.

"Make your individual note, for one year, without interest, for twenty thousand dollars, and I will give you a check payable in gold fbr that amount." JJOSS & LABAGH, In this conversation I learned the woman's name; then I remembered hearing my parents and sisters speak of her.- Mary Jordan had been an heiress. She married the gifted young writer, Jared Relong. He had been weak as well as gifted. Tarrying long at the wine-cup had dragged him down to poverty and degradation, and with him his wife and little daughter. He is sleeping now in a drunkard's grave in a corner of the villajre graveyard." His wife, brought up in splendor, had been making a living, with the assistance of little Mary, by deftly handling the needle and bending over the wash-tub, till, smitten with a cruel disease, she could no longer work. The cot in which they were living free of rent, through the kindness of a friend, was now to be torn down and another to be built in its place, the property having passed into the hands of a stranger. Thus situated, destruction stared tliein in the face. The widow was now recovering and would be able to be moved soon, provided she had a pleasant and comfortable place to be taken to. After reflecting for a moment, I remembered that I had often heard my old housekeeper lament her want of company. The widow might he taken to the Hall, and I should see that she was well cared for, and further, I would-agree to send Mary to school in consideration off the assistance she might give to Aunt Betsy. There iz no sedentary loafers among them, and you never see one out ov a job. The Alphabet of Croquet and f ourUbip, jg H. JONES & BROS' COMMISSION MERCHANTS MEAT MARKETS.

You laitl your hand on my head, and told me I did very well; and then you told me I could do better still if I would try. You told me the way to honor and renown were open to all alike, no one had a free pass. All I had to do was to be resolved and push on. That, sir, was the turning ]Doint of my life.

BAKERIES. The Early Death of Raphael QAMBRIAN HOTEL, New bakery. The undersigned would respectfully announce to the public that he has opened MAIN STREET, PITTS TON, (Opposite E. Bevan A Co.,) GRIFFITH THOMAS, Prop'B. "Self-reproaches are uncalled for, Harry. It is all the result of your unfortunate bashfulness. You can never accomplish your missiommv, friend, until you have conquered this gr«at enemy of yours; a thing, t* tto \fay,, which t think you are in a fair way of doing." Whilst deploring the early death of Raphael when thirty -seven years old to a day, profoundly lamented not only by his scholars, but by a sorrowing people, many have inquired if it were not a fortunate occurrence for his fame; if having already attained perfection, he would not have run the risk of surviving his genius. I cannot admit of such a source of consolation. I believe that however perfect and great Raphael might be, he would have improved, and that after having surpassed all his rivals, he would have surpassed himself. Michael Angelo, who at fifteen years of age had sculptured the mask of a Faun, painted the Last Judgment at sixty-seven. Titian, who also began to paint when quite young, worked gloriously until the close of Ills life, prolonged to nearly a centujy. Poussin was seventy-one when he painted the Deluge, the last and best of his works. And Murillo, to conclude my examples, taking only the most notable, painted his most celebrated pictures between the ages of fifty and sixty-four, the close of his life. Had these four great men died at the same age as Raphael, they would have been far from taking the place they now occupy in the annals of art—that eminent rank to which universal admiration has raised them. But why seek proofs elsewhere than in the history of Raphael himself? Had he once gone back ? Was he not always advancing, and was not his ftunous IVannfiguration, the greatest height his geuius reached, the last of his works ? Had he died soouer we should not have known what he could have done; had he lived longer, can we not believe that he might have done even greater? In the history of the arts there is another man who resembles Raphael in genius as in fate; Mozart also possessed a soul full of deep feeling, an exquisite taste, a sublime, varied, ami fertile genius, both in its commencement and close. A composer at six years of age and dead at thirty-six, he crowned the list of his works by the "Requiem," and said when dying, "It is too soon ; I had overcome every obstacle, and was going to write from the dictation of my own heart." It was too soon also with Raphael, and his unhappy death must ever leave a feeling of regret in the hearts of lovers of painting. "Oh, most happy and thrice-blessed spirit," says Vasari, "of whom all are proud to speak, whose actions are celebrated with praise by all men, and the least of whose works left behindtheeisadmiredand prized! When Raphael died, well might Painting have departed also, for when he closed his eyes, she too was left, as it were, blind." —h-om the Wonders of Italian Art, just published in Cheirles Seribner it- Co/s Illustrated Library of Wonders. —One of the sufferers by the late Vermont railway accident was rushing wildly about, when some one asked him if he was hurt.

Beauty.—Lord Bacon observed justly tluit the best part of beauty is that which a picture cannot express. Lord Shaftesbury asserts that all beauty is truth. True features mako the beauty of a face, and true proportions the beauty of architecture, as true measures that of harmony and music. In poetry, which is all fable, truth still is the perfection. Fontenelle thus daintily compliments the sex, when he compares women and clocks—the latter serves to point out the hours, the former to make us forget them. There is a magic power in beauty that all confess —a strange witchery that fascinates and enchants us with a potency as irresistable as that of the magnet. It is to the moral world what gravity is to the physical. It is easier to write about beauty in women, and its all-prevading influences than to define what it is. Women are the IKK?try of the world, in the same sense as the stars are the poetry of heaven. Clear, light-giving, harmonious, they are the terrestrial planets that rule the destinies of mankind.

We took our way along the footpath, down through the grove, and thence across the fields. The morning was bright and beautiful. Of course "the little feathered songsters made the grove vocal with their joyous notes," just as they do in every school-boy's original essay, and have been doing from time immemorial. In the low branches of a maple we saw a robin swing on a twig just above her nqet, her mate sitting near by and looking fondly upon her, while both were twittering merrily. To me the burden of their song seemed to be, "Connubial bliss is sweet! It is not good to live alone." J OHN U.

We had crossed two fields and clambered over three fences when we came to a little girl, apparently about thirteen years of age, picking raspberries from the briery bushes that grew along the fence-row. Her face was very pretty, flushed as it was with heat. Her large blue eyes, like two orbs of beauty and of blessedness, beamed upon us. Mingled with her childish features, there was a staid, sober look, which made her appear prematurely old. This, I believe, is common among the children of poverty and suffering. made. WM.

For several months iu the year its leaves are not moistened by a shower. Its branches look as if they were dead and withered ; but when the trunk is bored, a bland and nourishing milk flows from it. It is at sunrise that the vegetable fountain flows most freely. At that time blacks and natives are seen coming from all parts provided with large bowls to receive the milk, which grows yellow, and thickens at its surface. Some empty their vessel on the spot, while others carry them to their children. One imagine she sees the family of a shepherd who is distributing the milk of his flock."
