Henry Ward Beecher, the famous preacher from the city of “Brothcrlv Love,’’ has been invited to deliver a lecture in Atlanta under the auspices of the Young Men’s Library. We had hoped that this man would nev er be invited to Georgia. It is a bad precedent set Sy the managers of the Atlanta Library in desiring to exhib it such an infanioiisapostaie and hyp ocrite.

Au l-ixtroiiie Teat- Huston Trftvi-I«*r ] Arthur GiliuAf lolls tlio following of an old lady at Concord : '“Have you given electricity a trial for your complaint, madam?" asked llie 111I11- ister, ns ho took tea with the old la dy, Electricity!” said she. “Well, ves, | reckon I lias. 1 \vn« struck hy lightning Imtl summer and hove out the window, hut it didn't do me no sort of good.” “Oh, Mabel, don’t marry him unless you’re certain you’ll be happy!” cried Alice hysterically. “Be sure, Aral, lie won’t go to parties, and le—ave you a—lene with ba—liy,”sito sobbed! “What! is Herbert at a party queried Mabel, quito subdued. “Yes, be is, and when I told him I couldn't go on account of baby, lie said, ‘itang ba-by I’ Yes, you 'little nngol, your own father said those aw ful words—ami then ho si—slammed the door.” “lie’sa viper!” exclaimed Malic), witli smlilcn vehemence. “A nice way'to treat a wife like you—a baby like that! But why couldn’t you leave baby ?” “Because lie was threatened with croup last week.” “But lie’s well enough now—sleeps deliciously. He’ll not wake up all uighL perhaps. Aud the utii-se would have taken good care of him.” “I should have been thinking of fire and all tliat.” “Oil, nonsense! Yon ought lo have gone. But Herbert Itad no rigid to behave as lie did; and he must lie punished,” and Mabel threw tier wraps on the hed, nnd look her seat by the glowing fire. “It won’t do to let hill) get the upper hand. All! I have it, I've thought of a splendid lilan. A charming, delightful little jilot,” and she clapped her hands in glee. “Oh, Maliel, wlint is it ?” and Alice slid down at her sister's fcet^gizing in her face with expectant MTlcs.— “What are you going IB do?” “I’m not going to do it, I “tin 11 stay here and watch Imby. You are goiug to tlie party.” “Mabel! Impossible?” “tjttito possible. In tact it must be done. Yon must let Herbert see that you are as pretty ns anybody, and quito ns miieli admired. It i* derided. Yon are to go lo tin- party and play a part, Let mo arrange' the pro gramme.” “But, Maliel, I haven't a dress pre pared—or nuytldng. I gave up go ing a week ago, when baby was threatened wit It the croup.” “Pshaw! You shall wear one of mine—one of tin- must bowilcliiug. bewildering of dresses, bought from my last allowance from Unde Curtis. Onlv to set- it will throw you into re- Stacies. Worth never composed auy- tldng more lovely. I want to sec it 011 you. Come, come, call your maid; ! ain all impatience. We'll slmmc our lutd hnslmnd into good helinvoir, see If we don’t. No Irresolution, pret ty lister mine. I'll stay at home aud fancy myself mistress here, and ooant vonr picture*, saws, and pretty things, nnd dialogue them, so as to make iiiaiinim happy with a letter to-mor row. Order John, or Jack, or Bill, or whatever your coachman ia, to get a carriage—if that’s Impossible, send for a call.” In less than an hour Mabel led her sister lo llie great French mirror, aKd laughingly introduced her to the loveliest and best-dressed woman she had almost ever seen. Alice trembled a little when site round herself actually on the way to Mr*. Mountloy’s; but her alster’a Ur gent will had connuered, and her heart was hardened fly Herbert’s em phatic expression concerning the baby. Site was reassured, however, by Mrs. Mnuiitjoy’s hearty welcome. “So glad you have come, mr dear," «lie said. “Your Huaband said he reared ‘baht’ would keep, yen -at home; but 1 told him it wae aottseose. You did right to reconsider the mat ter.” Herbert, like many himdaome so ciety men, was a little spoiled and selfish without knowing it. He loved Alice devotedly: but he was not un willing to rccelvn the sweet smiles aud honeyed words of others ; while, wills a man’s inconsistency, he was not desirous that his wife should play the part of a married belle. It was while he waa dancing with oue-of the most noted sail beautiful women of the metropolis, who was more lhaii wiiliug to listen to his nonsense, that Herbert, looking up from tlie lace leaning agaiust his shoulder, while the dreamy waltz music “thrilled hearts sensitive to sadness as to joy," encountered the sparkling face of his wife, and anw lier arrayed in the freshest aud most graceful costume in the room. She was moving quietly along with'an escort in uniform. “Pray don't stumble.’' said hta part, uer. pi-tnlantlv, for from that igo- ment the grand repose ef hit manner was gone, and '‘the lady on bis arm might'hare been made of wax, or any other ductile material, floral! he cared now. -.f . How llie dickaps came she here?” lie muttered to himself, as he led his partner, absently, to a seat, deaf to ail her pretty words, blind to her fasci nations. “It certainly is Alieo—but tlio dress—,the prettiest thing here! and I left lier quite determined not to conic. I don’t understand it. Danc ing witli tliat military puppy, Guin- uelt, too. She knows I hate him.” Witli these amiable thoughts, he laid himself out to gain the attention of tils wife, nnd make her explain.— It was some time before he hail the chance, so he was obliged to content himself with following her graceful motions, angry with himself ami with her. “Alice! Can 1 believe my eyes," be said, at last, in the pause ofthe dance. " sliuuld think you might, rather," wxs the nonchalant reply.. “Pray, how did you rente?'' “Pray, iiow did rou come? Z rode. Did volt walk?” “Well, but—” “Excuse me. I’m engaged four deep alreadyand Herbert forced to move aside, as a pompous acquaintance claimed her hand. ‘IM like to knock that fellow d»vu,' lie muttered, angry In certtapt Another pause, and another tate-n- tete. No satisfaction given. Herbert hud hardly Ihe grace to redeem his dancing engagements, “About tlie baby, Alice?** he asked, anxiously. She put her rosy lips to his ear, and in a subdued voire, exclaimed: “Hang the baby?” Herbert started, aud changed col or. To be sure he had used the same language; but from her it was too exasperating. How he got through tlie evening be could hardly tell.— When, at last, they were together in tlie carriage,. driving home, there might have been an open rupture, but for the determined calmness of Alice, who took everything es a matter of course. One glance in Ihe beautifal nurse ry unsealed his eyes. There by the Are, sat Mabel, in all the abandon of a neglige toilet, her loxmriaat tresses falling iu glossy freedom over , her shoulders, while the little fellow on her lap, clutching at one long, shin ing curl; crotfted and laughed, as well as lie could for “auntie’s-sazotheriag kisses. A sudden revulsion of feeling to the father’s heart at sight of this sweet home-picture. “Aha! I know who contrived this plot,” he said. “But I mm glad to see vou, Mabel, nevertheless.” “Wasn’t she the bell of the ball f” answered Mabel, saucily. “There's no doubt of that At any rate, I didn’t get a chance to dance with iter.” “Of course. Who ever heard in so ciety of dancing witli one’s wife?” Mie'said, sarcastically. “I see that she followed my directions implicitly.— You must learn, sir, that a house di vided against itself cannot stand— that is. if one half is flirting at a par ty, and ihe other hair at home crying lior eves out.” “Oh, Alice—were you, really! “1 should think she was. I can as sure vou that l myself aaw half the house dissolved in tears, and so wretched that—” “Maliel, hush!” said Alice. “Traitor, do you turn on me?” ex- clniiucil Mabel, wi.h meek dtapti tire. Mv child,” she went on, tossing tlie crowing cherub, “tell yonr selfish papa that tie also has some selfish ob ligations, and tliat ir.vou had kuown you werts lo lie the bone of contention in thh) family, you'd have staid In the garden of angels, where you were wanted." Herbert was strongly affected by this audacious outburst, but it had the effect of leading him to see hi* duty in a new light. It taught him to re flect ; opened Ids eyes to his selfish' ness; nml made him front tliat even ing. a better and mere considerate husband] Six months from that time Alice was dressed for a party. But this time the party was given at Iter own Inmsr, and in'honor of Mabel’s mar riage. Even the bride did not look lovelier; for nothing now occurred to mar Alice's happiness; and happi ness, after ail. is the best preservative of beauty. Ab! "how charming yon look,’ Mfe aad Sara.
