Brown • Uliscfllaiuoni A Fable with a Moral Once upon a time, many years a* go, there was a beautiful woman and a brave man who were very much attached to each other, and the day was appointed lor the wedding. Before the appointed time arrived the lady had grown weary of her choice, and refused to fulfill the con tract. Another and more wealthy suitor had sued tor her favor, and when the day arrived that was to have made her the bride of the first lover, she went into the church with his rival, and took upon herself the vows that made her his wife while they both lived. The rejected suitor was beside himself wilh grief, and in his sorrow he ihirsled for revenge. So he call ed upon the Evil One,and the Evil One appeared. The man repeated to him tho sto ry of his wrongs, and asked him to give him the means of revenge, and name his reward. The Evil One gave into his hands a sealed package, and instructed him to proceed to the home of the bride, and when the guests passed before her to present the wedding gift, to give into her hand the sealed package and relire. He did ?o ; and when he returned to hi3 house he found the Evil One still there, and was informed that he had waited lo complete the arrange ments lor a final settlement. ‘How much do I owe you ?’ asked the man; and I lie Evil One replied : ‘Your soul.’ *’Tis too much P cried the man. ‘The contents of the sealed pack age are worth more to me than a score of souls, for it will eventually bring them in bv scores,’ soliloquiz ed the Evil One, then added aloud : Your soul 1 musi have, hut 1 will li'st tell you li e value of the serviie I have done for you.’ ‘The contents of the package!’ demanded the man. ‘Six pairs of thin soled shoes, and a pair of corseis,’ replied the Evil < >ue, with a grin. ‘Throw in the law of divorce, and its a bargain,’ said ihe man, seeing how speedily the thin shoes and cor« Is would bring the faithless woman to her death. And the Evil One consented to e-iablisli a law of divorce among the people of the earth,and departed. Fora time the newly-wedded pair lived happily, but the corsets and the thin shoes that the bride wore caused her to lose her charms, and she grew hateful in her husband’s eyes, until at last lie sought a divorce and obtained it. Then, indeed, did the rejected suitor reap the reward of his efforts for revenge, for the once beautiful woman was now a faded, neglected, divorced wife, and no friend had she left. Yet she refused to give up the pretty thin shoes and the corsets, and in a lew months she died with them on. And the Evil One came for his dues. But the laws of divorce, anil tho fashion of wearing thin shoes and corsets were established among women, and because ot the rich iiarvest of souls this fashion and this law brought to him, he forgave the man his debt, and in time the man forgot his wrongs and went about ihe couritry'lecturing upon Woman’s Rights- wilh Anna Dickenson and Lucy Stone.— N. Y. Weekly. A Japanese Bed.—A traveler in the Easi gives the following amus ing description of the sleeping ac commodations of the Japanese; A inattras in the form of a very thick quilt, about seven feel long and four wide was spread on the floor, and over it was laid an ample robe, very long and heavily padded, and provi ded with large sleeves. Having puton ibis nightdressthp sleeper cov ers bimself with another quilt, and sleeps, i. «., “if he has had some years practice,” in use oi l his bed. But the most remarkable feature about a Japanese bed is ihe pillow. This is a wooden box about lour inches high, eight incites long and two inches wide at the top. It nns a cushion of lolded pa|>ers on th upper side lo rest the neck on, lor the elahoiate manner of dressing the hair does not permit the Japanese, especially the women, to press the head on ;be pillow. Every morning, the upper most paper is taken off from the cushion, xpos ng a ( lean surface with out llie expense of washing a pillowcase. I passed a greater part of the night in learning how to poise my head in this novel manner ; and when I finally closed my eyes, it was to dreatn that I was being slow ly beheaded, and to wake at the cri sis to find the pillow bottom side up, and my neck resting on the sharp lower edge of the box. Dur tag my stay in the country, 1 learned rpauy No. 30. iif its customs, musicnng ibe u-e of t*ic chop-sticks and accustoming my palate to raw fresh fish, but the at tempt to balance my head on a two inch pillow, 1 gave up in despair, after trying in vain to secure the box by tying iMo my neck and head. The Seed and the Flowers. A brown and misshappen seed fell from a tall, withered vine to the ground, where it alighted among a bevy of beautiful blossoms that were resting in the long grass. The poor brown seed lira nk from their haughty and disdainful glan ces, and remained ashamed and trembling. “Who art thou,” exclaimed the stately (lowers, one and all, “that dare penetrate our favorite bower in so ragged and homely a dress?” “1 am an emblem of the past,” replied the seed, meekly, “and 'I have alighted to rest for a time.” “An emblem of the past,” reiter ated the blossoms, scornfully “Know, then, that we are the guar dians of the present. Go awav; we have no use for you here.” The brown seed, gird to escape such a neighborhood, was taken by a kind bieath of air to the margin of u silver stream. Here it con tented itself with quietly dreaming away, until its mother earth -hould receive it into her bosom, ami when summer returned it would arise again in new beauty. Autumn passed, and winter came with icy’ breath and cold fingers ; the blossoms were faded and dead, out the seed was hidden in the earth. Summer came cnee more '.villi golden sunrays and soft air. Awakened into renewed life ft. r :.> long alt mice, th Mo- n ,fi, ,| their leav- s ami liM.i th. , heads. Direcli'i over tin m, nd shading their delicate petals from the rays of the hot sun, grew a beau liful vine with dark green v. Ive leaves, tind crimson flowe's. Proud of such company . the bio soms Rung p aises to liie hi .<5 . beautiful vine. “Knowest thou m ti ? " is:, a h vine of the blossoms. “An. yes.” replied the det jfjt < blossms “we know tln-e by thv beauty, and love thee bectuse thou shadest us from the hot sun ” “I will tell you,” said the vine, mildly, as it opened its ciimson flowers and shook its velvet leaves. “Long ago, when I was a poor, brown seed, ugly and mussbappen, you scorned and drove me from you ; now [ am rich and beautiful, and you seek my company. Know that 1 chose mv friends where pride rest eth not, and where modes y and gen tleness forever reign. Ashamed and humbled, the blos soms drooped their fair heads and Bpoke not, while the vine twined lovingly around its true friend, the tall tree, shaking perfume.s from its crimson flowers, while the sunbrams played upon its dark-green leaves. Cotton Ste»lagi.— The t ribune of last Saturday gravely announces that it has been developed in the United State* Court of Claims t hat about one halt the value of the Southern cotton seized by government agents during the war, has been solen. The proceeds of sales re turned were thirty millions, the resalt of sales at 29 cents a pound, when the cot. ton was worth 75 cents. The swindling was effected by collusion with purchas ers ; but the claimants ot the c-. ton re fuse to accept the prices obtaicel.— Large amounts of this cotton belonged to British subjects, whose claims lor re clamation under the mixed commission treaty will in this way subject the gov ernment to very heavy losses. Thatisa pity. But when the government goes to stealing, how can they expect tbeir tools and instruments will be honest. The further development of these cotton stealing transactions, it is <*! im and, will show that tbe Radical cotton ring has swindled the government out of about forty millions of dollars.— Macon T'l.
