Very few friends she had. fewer still since Tom had gone for a sailor. She longed for a friend, and fate, as is its wont, had sent sinister answer to her prayers in the shape of Professor Peebles, the teacher of mathematics. This man made himself odious to the girl by officious attentions, which her humble position fendered more annoying because she was so much in his power. White still remains the favorite dress for small girls even for midwinter. There is, however, a caprice this fall for the sailor suits of navy blue flannel introduced in the spring. For riding habits, the colors most in vogue are black, invisible green, dark blue, and chocolate. DIRECTORS. CHEMICALS HENT.Y SMITH, SAMUEL TRICE, -V. D. mxa, C. S. STARK, JOS. P. SCHOOI.EY, GEO. B.

Politely, and with as little expression as possible, she hated the professor and his mathematics. A big empty-headed man, with a soul the size of a cipher, a smart figure, a wig, and a gold-headed cane; an elderly man, who had never attained the beauty and dignity of age, and never would—oh, the learned professor, with sill his arithmetics at his back, could uot render any solution of thi* one humble maiden's shyness and coldness. Neither Euclid nor common-seuae shed any light, and he pursued his stupid f.incy until the young girl learned to shun his presence with unspeakable antipathy.

DEALER IN We should never allow ourselves to forget that nature intended us for warmblooded animals. In this climate of surprising changes We are very apt to forget it especially in the Fall and Spring. At such seasons, when Ave freeze and simmer on alternate days, there is engendered in us a certain recklessness, which takes no heed of cold or heat, dampness or dryness, and receives all temperatures with the same front, generally a defenseless one. It is certainly very troublesome to change front as often as the weather, and there is a prejudice in American minds against such change, which has a great deal to do with the rapidly - increasing population of our grave-yards. People like to have some stability of purpose, and if they can have it in nothing else they will try tc have it in their dress. They will not make a change until they make a permanent one for .the season. No matter how hot it is in the Spring, they will wear Spring clothes until Summer, and no matter how cool it may be in August, Summer clothes must be worn until Fall shall actually set in. Thus, ofttimes, suddenly and with sad results, we find ourselvef approaching the condition of the fishes and lizards—for the chill, that alert forerunner of disease, is ever ready, in our climate, to take advantage of circumstances.

The girl was looking afar off seaward, where a quiet isle, luminous an! sun-crowned, dotted the distance half-way out—idle, pleasant, drifted away from the cares of the busy mainland, and basking dreamily in the rosy light. Babette sympathized with that island. It seemed to her it would be'a gracious thing to get away from the actual commonplace necessities of life as she had known it; to dwell apart in some trance-like solitude from the tramp and whirl and worry of existence. For the girl had been a hard worker in her time, as many dreamy-eyed women are. and they were not altogether idle and cloud-like fancies that absorbed her as she sat. For she was a business woman, was Babette, and that moment was revolving the problem of getting a living. The peach bloom on her cheek, and the young light in her eyes, did not render the problem less difficult of solution. At last it touched the top of the upturned shallop, it kissed the bared feet of the sleeper, and she awoke. Scared and amazed, she rubbed her eyes and looked about. On every side a very ocean seemed to stretch, rising, rising, swayed by a fierce wind, gathering wrath against the day of wrath, the btackening, on-rtishing tempest! Only at the back of the hut a slim, thread-like peninsula still stretched a little way out toward the rocks beyond. jgOOTS AND SHOES! Hernia, or Rupture! Itfnrsh «*: Co.'s Radical Cure Trass. .▼!

Her school-days at the village academv were ended—those doubtful yet quiescent davs when, by dint of incessant drudgery as an under teacher, she had wrung out a sort of education for herself, and graduated in fluttering white at once and forever out of the caterpillar state. That pretty excitement, that brief flash of light on her stormy pathway, oyer, she had come back to her old aunt Marget's cabin. But she could not live there dependent; live and die there. Its scanty fare, its bare floors, its solitude among the hills, its shelter of wind-swept pines that climbed the sterile crags and looked do'i n on the far ocean—these things had satisfied her once, as it had satisfied her to hunt sea-shells along the shore with Cousin Tom.

A Florida Tragedy.—One of the most distressing affairs we have ever been called upon to notice took place in Tallahas. see, Florida. The wife 01 a popular and successful Jacksonville merchant, and daughter, a prominent merchant in Tallahassee, seemed to be suffering from some mental derangement, and, thinking a change of scene and surroundings might cure her incipient malady, her husband took her to her parents and friends in Tallahassee. That night, soon after her arrival at her father's house, she called the family around her and prayed and exhorted them to prepare for a great and sad calamity. None had any idea that she wa» comtemplating anything like self-destruction. The next morning early her father went out to procure a bottle of wine for her. and soon after his departure she took a kerosene lamp or can, and saturating her garments from head to foot, put a match to it, and in a moment was enveloped in the flames. Her husband and others, hearing her shrieks, ran to her rescue, and throwing a bucket of water over her, endeavored to extinguish the flames. This proved unavailing, and her husband, seized a blanket, threw it around her, and finally succeeded in putting out the flames, but not until the poor victim was burned to such an extent that she died in a few hours, after the most intense suffering. The lady was quite young and had been married about three or four years. Two years ago she was the happy wife of a devoted husband, whose success in business had placed him in comfortable circumstances. At that time the writer saw the happy pair at their own Insurious home in Jacksonville James B.

Death was not a pleasant tiling for a young girl to contemplate—a young girl full of rosy life, just lifting her blossomlike head to look at the world. There was a good deal to love, alter all, in the world,with all its shadows ; and there was Tom. Tom was no shadow. But Babette did not hesitate for one instant. She had some of the old Puritan blood in her veins, or, perhaps, some of the old H iguenot—a stubbornness that had made good martyrs when need was. She would have died than submit to be saved by this man. Builders Aug. U.'70-ly. A very fatal hen'disease has prevailed in Massachusetts the past year.

It remarks that some time back, Mr. Geo. Winans, of Stillwater, took down the largest raftthat ever floated, and the past week Mi. Michael Drury and Mr. Peter Kirms, of St. Louis, laid their heads together to see what they could do, and as a"result, have beaten Winans out of sight. We give, in worils and figures, the various dimensions of their King raft. It contains 384 cribs, which gives us 1,514,807 feet of lumber. But this is not all. It has a top load of 3,678 bunches of shingles, 1,691 bundles of laths and 265 bundles of palings, It is 433 feet wide, and covers an area of floe and three quarter acres. Its value is upward of §40,000. It requires twenty-four men to man the forward course by the good steamer J. W. Van Sant, commanded by Peter Kirms, Esq,, who is also pilot of the raft. It left Wabash Oct. 4th, and its destination is St. Louis. PITTSTON, Pa. That dress with its pretty ruffles, its daintv folds and ribbons, in which Babette had for once felt young and fresh and lightsome as other girls, and which she bad somehow ascribed to Tom—she must give up that pretty dream now.

Her aunt was tired of her—her aunt, whose goodness she had never doubted, tired of her, felt her a burden, and had accepted the assistance of strangers.

Aunt Marget, as she was called by all her neighbors, was a well-known character in these parts. Her tall, spare figure, and clean, scant calico, were familiar to every one who dwelt alongshore; and a rude sort of respect was aeoorded her, notwithstanding that she ranked among the poorest of the poor. A thorough-going woman was Aunt Marget, after the New England type; angular, thrifty, uncompromising: having no thought of adapting herself to modern times and ways; having no m'sgiving of her fitness for anything in this world or the next; neither humiliated by her position nor harboring a thought of rising above it. "I shan't haunt it much after this, I think," said Babette, with a shiver. "I shall have to hunt up new places."
