Description of the Work.
rpilE PARLOR ALBUM is doubtless the j
g most extensive Art Gallery ever pub- ;
lished, and by those who have examined the I
several portions of the work, it has been j
pronounced “The Climax of Beauty,”—
Each volume contains 20 pages lull Chromo !
Lithographs, in Oil colors, 40 full page Steel
Engravings, 40 full page engravings.on wood, :
200 pages of reading matter, descriptive of :
illustrations, the whole making each volume ;
about one half as thick, and same size pages, !
of Webster’s largest Dictionary. Each vol- j
ume is complete in itself, and will be sold j
separately if desired. Sold by Subscription
Only.
vol. Ist Is devoted to Wild American
Birds. |
Vol. 2d Contains Wild American Animals.
Vol. 3d, American Domesticated
and Animals.
Vol. 4th, Foreign Birds and Animals.
Vol. sth, Fishes, Reptiles and Insects.
This work will at once commend itself to
the cultivated American people, and no li
brary will, hereafter, be complete without
this addition to its treasures; while as a
parlor amusement it is unequalled by Amer
ican publications.

[From the London Spectate: .]
THE CONSCIENCE AND FUTURE
JUDGMENT.
I sat alone with my conscience,
In a place where time had ceased,
And we talked of my former liwng
111 the land where the years increased,
: And 1 iclt 1 should have to answer
The question it put to me,
! And to liic-e the answer and qnestioii
I Throughout an eternity.
The ghost of forgotten actions
| Came Hunting before my sight,
I And things that l thought were dead things
j Were alii a with a terrible might,
, 1 And the vision of all my past life
| Wa»nn awful thing to lace—
I Along with niv conscience sitting
in that solemnly silent place.
And 1 thought of a far away warning,
Os a sorrow that was to be mine,
In a land that then as the future,
But now is the present time.
And I thought ot my thinking
Os the judgement day to be,
But sitting alone with my conscience
, I Seemed judgment enough for me.
i And 1 wondered if there was a future
j To this land beyond the grave;
j But no one gave me an answer,
| And no one came to save.
’ : Then 1 felt that the future was present,
And the present would never go by,
I For it was but the thought of my past life
Grown into eternity,
. Then I woke from my timely dreaming,
t And the vision passed away,
j Aod 1 knew the iar-away warning
, Was a warning of yesterday— ■
, And I pray that I may not forget it,
, In this land before the grave,
That I may not cry in the future,
And no one come to save.
And so 1 have learnt a lesson
Which I ought to have known before,
And which, though I learnt it dreaming,
1 hope to forget no more.
So 1 sit alone with consience
In the place where the years increase,
And I try to remember the future
In the land where Time will cease,
And I know of the future judgment,
llow dreadful soe’er it be,
That to sit alone with my conscience
Will be judgement enough fer me.
Women are rapidly marching forward
to complete emancipation. A beautiful
and well educated young lady has just
opened a large boot and shoe store in Phil
adelphia. She has three girl clerks, and
they all wear little fancy aprons made of
leather, so as to look business like, and at
( the same time pretty.

FIVE MINUTES WORK.
BV MRS. FRANCES D. GACE.
“Here, Lizzie, I wish you would put a
few stitches iuto my coat j it’s* gctlimr so
shabby.”
“ It’s so Frank ; but really I tliiuk you |
had best take it to the tailor.”
“Take it to a tailor! By George! but
that’s a huge idea. Why, there's uot five
minutes’ work to bo done, and the tailor
would charge a dollar.”
I “ I suppose lie would, but I don’t see 1
| how I can do it to day. Walter is very {
| fretful, and you know he kept trie awake 1
nearly all night ”
“ Little imp! It does not seem* to me
; there ever was so cross a voung one. Al- |
ways some excuse! Well you must mend
my coat, anyhow.”
“I will try, and find time.”
“Try ! just let him squall! ’twill do him i
j good—strengthen his luugs.”
“ Then, you know, it is ironing day.” 1
“ Well, how many more excuses? I’ll j
put it on, rips and all, if you arc going to
make a fuss.”
“ Oh, no, Frank, I did not mean to
make a fuss; but it’s a long job, arid one
I am not to; and with my dinner to
get, and baby and ironing I do not see yet,
how I can get it done. But I’ll do my
best,”
Such was the conversation that passed
betweeji a young liusbaud and a wife ol
eighteen months standing.
Frank Burton was what the world calls
a real driver. Ho made anything that
went through bis hands insure to his own
benefit. Everybody liked him because he !
was so frauk, and withall so honest and
upright in all his dealings with his cus
tomers. lie was well educated fur a bus- 1
| iness man; lived in society ; had made up j
ids miml that he could suppoi t a wife, uuJ, '
| according to Ids reckoning, save something
|to boot. .Yes, to bo sure lie could. There
were six dollars a week for b su'd, one dol
| lor a week for washing, and then quarters J
j and dimes innumerable for taking Ins lady j
! acquaintances to ride, to the theatre, to 1
| ice cream saloons, balls, operas, etc.
“ By George!” Ire exclaimed, as lie. cast I
!up his yearly account, “that's huge;!
| enough to break a fellow; a thousand aj
I year; ft won't do; i’ll marry aud settle j
; down 1”
So he applied to Lizzie Forsyth to be !
; his wife; and lie was soon iu possession of 1
! her.
I A snug house was rented, and the work j
]of supporting a wife began in earnest, — I
j The five rooms cost two hundred dollars j
! a year, and were prettily furnished. Liz- i
! zie preferred to do all Iter work. Some- i
times by her needle she earned a dollar j
extra. Then, as it was a little lonesome i
for Frank, he brought home several clerks !
as day boarders, at four dollars a week.— !
Still, with all this, lie would tell his ac- '
quaiutuucos how much less it cost him to
live now he supported a wife. He never
I seemed for a moment to realize that she it
j was who was saving all these expenses, j
I aud that if he had not earned a dollar, her j
j busy hands would have paid the rent and j
kept him from starving.
So the matter stood when he asked his
j wife to mend his coat. Lizzie drew a deep
sigh after he was gone, and hurried her
dishes as fast as possible.
The coat was of broadcloth, and was his
wedding garment; but it was well nigh
wearing out, broken under the arms, the
cord and lining in rags, the sleeve linings j
broken loose, buttons worn off; in tine, j
there was nearly a day’s work. She sat j
down to the coat with hearty good will, j
determined to do her best. Her needle
flew fast, but every moment it bad to be
; laid down to see to dinner or liu.-h the ba
! by. The hours wore away, aud though
| she did all she possibly could, the job was
| still undone at sundown.
1 Walter cried incessantly. He looked
j pale, and his eyes were dim. She then
I remembered. Frank’s words, “let him
! squall,” and let him cry half an hour or
j more. Oh, how it wearied her to hear her
darling cry for its mother. Tears swam
iu her eyes as she thought of her hard
day’s 1 work and the want of appreciation
of her labor. >Slie knew she was making
his old coat look almost as well as new.— I
But he would never think of the toil she ■
had put upon it. “ And what if lie don’t,” 1
| she mentally said; “ 1 shall in my own
spirit know all I have done, aud that is
enough.”
But Lizzie was strong hearted as well as
loving and dutiful. So she shook off her
discontent, and became as cheerful as pos- i
sible. Then she worried through supper j
getting, and with much managing had al! ■
| things done by the time that Frank came
in with lus companions.
“ My coat done, Lizzie?”
“ No, not quite.”
“ There’s a woman for yc, boys. One
m half of them would let a husband go out
j of the elbows a week before they would
! turn aside from any plan of their own.—
! All the ironing completed, I’ll be bound,
, I Lizzie.
Lizzie was taking her biscuit out of the
" j oven, and the young men did not sec the
• 1 deep flush of pain thist flashed over her
1 weary features.
j “Will you bring in a pitcher of water,
j please?” she said pleasantly.
“ There it is again; when I was a bach
f had nothing to do but hand my coat over
to the tailor, pay him a dollar, aud ’twas
done in a jiHy, and not any grumbling.—
j No water to fetch when a fellow's tired,
[ either.”
Lizzie was nervous, was tired with
household work and care. She could not
endure his badinage, although half playful.
She hastily set the biscuit ou the table,
; and saying simply “supper is ready,”step
| pod iu the bedroom and then burst into !
1 tears, lfer tears did not flow long, though
I she was deeply and wrongfully hurt in her
| feelings. Her heart gained iu its natural i
relief, and alter pioteuding that she was
! getting Walter asleep (which she actually 1
1 did) she bathed her eyes aud came out,
; washed her dishes, and sat down agair. to
1 iho coat.
Frank sat watching her flying fingers |
| for an hour or two, as he laughed and j
! talked with his inend, thinking to himself |
j that every turn would be the last. At
i nine o’clock she had set the last stitch.
1 The coat looked like a new one all around.
As she finished, she looked up with still a
shade of sadness upon her brow.
“There, Frank, I have mended your
coat thoroughly. I guess it will lust an
other year now.”
“Quite a job, wasn’t it? longer than 1
! thought,” said he, deprecatingly.
“ llow much clear cash have you made j
to-day. Frank?” u;ked Lizzie, in a very
earnest tone.
“What do you want to know that for?”
was his answer.
“For my own satisfaction; certainly 1 :
should /’eel an interest in ail of your as- I
: fairs.”
“ 1 ’ell, I think the shop ha 3 cleared
j twei.it, dollars.”
“ flow much do you count your own j
services worth?”
“Not less than five dollars a clay.”
“ llow many hours do you labor. ”
“Ten is legal time new-a-daya. f don’t !
I generally work that many. But what are j
| ail these questions for?”
1 “ Because, Frank, we ore husband and:
; wife. We expect to live the rest of our I
| lives together, and if there is harmony ip
' our marriage relation, there must be jus
i lice and right. You may cull me daily to j
I appreciate anything you can do. You ;
i have earned five dollars today; and the'
i shop has cleared twenty. Yet to save you :
one dollar, I worked ten hours on your
' coat, and six on your breakfast, dinner j
and supper, and making your home pleas- J
| ant and comfortable. To save you that
■ dollar, 1 have had to hurry nil day, to put
; all my work out of my line, and really
: neglect our darling boy, who should be 1
j our first care, and the last thing under any
! circumstances, to be set aside.”
j “l had not thought of that.”
“ 1 know you bad not, Frank, so f. shall
| freely forgive you, but I must insist that
I hereafter I may be allowed to be my own
j judge of what wen k 1 had best do, and
j shall not expect to be threatened, nor hear
! myself accused of Mot being willing to do
I my duty.”
! Frank felt the force of her words and
: sat silent.
“ One thing more, Frauk. I want to j
say while 1 am about it, that I don't want
to hear you talking about supporting your 1
wife. 1 will uot bo supported while lam
able to suppoit myself. I find on k-okiii ;
j over my books, that the profits of my la- ,
bor amount to five dollars a week, and the :
i board of yourself, mysi If, and the baby
j beside. Then l do all your extra work
I and my own. All this saving has gone
j iuto your capital to be invested, and to
j help you make your twenty dollars a day.
Out of this comes the tivo dollars you cal!
the worth of your day’s work, while 1
must labor with weary limbs and aching
head and eyes to save you one dollar, in
i mending an old ccat, which when done,
I would Dot sell for the amount of your ten
: hour’s work.”
“You are making out a pretty strong
ease against me, Lizzie.”
I “ No, Frauk not a case against you ; J
could not do that; but I am stating /acts.
One tiling more. 1 have been at work
! three hours since supper, and you have
been entirely idle not even rocking the
; cradle, which I havo been obliged to do
hall'a dozen times.”
I “ Lizzie, don’t say another word, and
I’ll never do so again,” said Frank, spring
ing from his chair, to jog the cradle, where
! the boy was nestling. “ Y’ou shall never
mend another coat.”
“ Yes, but I will,” answered Lizzie, ad-
I vancing to the cradle, “only don’t tell me
i ten hours’ work carl be done iu live rciu
i utes, rior let the baby squall again.”
| She lifted Walter from the cradle.—
1 They stooped to kiss his fair, rosy cheek
! but made a mistake, and kissed each ether,
while Frank whispered ;
“ God bless you, Lizzie, I never tho’t of
; all this before. 1 wqn’t do it again.”
Six years have passed by, a.id Frank
1 , has kept his word.
