CHAFTET SL “The course, of true love never did run smooth/’ The summer had be gun to wane, and Charley’s allotted time was fast drawing to a close, had long been aware that he had met his destiny face to face, and destiny had proved more than a match for him. I was equally well aware that Bell was in exactly the same condition, and I expected every day that I should again be made a confidant of. My face has a wonderful power of inviting and inspiring confidence. So I knew it would all come round in good time. One quiet antomn artemoon Char ley and Bell returned from a long ramble. A single glance at their fa ces was sufficient to tell me what had transpired. But I was obstinate, and wouldn’t see it. '1 lie next day Bell found me in the parlor alone. I kuew she had some thing she wanted to tell me; so I fished for it. “Well, Bell, how do yon like being a poor girl, living in the country, and working in the kitchen?” “0, Cousin Frank, I think it is splendid! I knew I should like it, and have a good time.” “But are you not getting sick of it, Bell? It is very diflerent from the society you have moved in, and the life you have always led.” “And'that is jast why I like it, cous in. I think I should never get tired of it.” “Well, Bell, I am glad you .are en joying life.” “Cousin Frank,” said she, with a with ablush, “I hive got another se cret for yon to keep.” “You havel” said I, in astonish ment. “What is it, Bell?” “Oh, Cousin, it is only that Mr. ——” Here she hesitated, and drop ped her eyes on the floor - “Mr—? I don’t understand what you are driving at, Bell.” “Why, Cousin Frank, how stupid you aie! You cannot anticipate any thing. But I mean that Mr. Sidney has—has proposed,” ‘Proposed! Proposed to you, Bell! Is it possible?” •Yes, Frank.” ‘And you accepted him?” 'I have.” ‘Bell, you are S deceiving me. cannot be possible!” I exclaimed. “Why, Cousin Frank, what makes you look so? Is there anything strange in'that?” Ah, Bell, I am afraid I have done both of you a great wrong by letting this thing go on sol But I did not think it possible that it would go so far.” ^ “W’hy, what is the matter? Is not Mr. Sidney a good man?” “Yes Cousin, but he is so peculiar. Have you told him that you are rich, and an heiress.” “No, Cousin. I thought it would be so nice, and surprise him so, to find, after we were married, that I can restore the fortune he has lost.” “Ah, BelJ,.there is just where the trouble will come. You recollect I told vou he is very sensitive on the subject of the fortune he has lost. I have had several confidential talks with him, and he has told me repeat edly that he wqnld never marry any one with a fortune. He says that no woman shall ever have an opportuni ty to throw it in his face that he is living on her ininey and in her-house. He can never bring liis proud spirit; down to be dependent on a woman for his living.” . “O, Frank, I wish I was poor!” and Bell covered her face with her haLds and burst into tears. I felt guilty, but the spirit of mis chief was too deeply rooted in me to be willing to lose an opportunity, so I continued; “Don’t feel so bad, BelL Perhaps I can reason with him. so that he will not be offended when he finds out the trick you have been playing.” “O, Cousin, if you only will do it I will bless yon as long a? I live.” “I will do my best, Bell. Perhaps I can reconcile him to it. But he is so peculiar.” “Heigh ho, Frank!”-exclaimed Mr. Charles Sidney; half an hour after ward, when Ihad purposely given him a good opportunity to be communi cative and confidential “Old fellow, I ami the happiest man in the world!” “And why shouldn’t you be, Char ley?” I replied, still as stupid as ever. ‘A man with a fortune like yours, well educated-and distinguished—with troops of friends—why, Charley, snch a man must be a fool if he is not the happiest man In the world!” *Yes, Iknow, Frank. vTheshthings are all well-enongh in their plaoe; but to keep “still as. death.” The sofa $25 A DAY GUARANTEED using Our WELL AUGER & DRILL in good territory.

If I had your' tal ents,money and advantages, I wouldn’t give a fig for anything else that T know of.” “Ah, Frank, there is where yon mistake. There , is nothing in the world so pleasant as to have a home, and just the right one to preside over it. I am in a fair way to have one now, Frank,” ‘To have a home! Hew so?” ‘Oh, Miss Bell and. I have been talking it over, and she has- consented to become Mrs. Sidney.” “The deuce, Charles! but this is not j “It is possible, though. Bat whit of it” "What of it? Why, Charles, if you many Bell Wyman you will be the most miserable man in. the world in a year.” _ “Yon are joking, Frank “No, Charles,” I replied, withgreat solemnity, “I was never more serious m my life. Yon have never told her yon were-rich, have yon?” - “No, Frank. I thought it would be snch a pleasant surprise to find l&rself reinstated in her old position in society, that I would not divulge, it until after marriage; and she has said she will willingly .’hire my yoverty. “Yes; she will willingly share yohr poverty, Charles, for she is a noble- hearted girl; but to share vonr wealth and prosperity is a totally dif ferent thing. If I had dreamed yon would have become fascinated with her, I would have warned you of this; and I am afraid it has now gone s far that she will never torgive you. ‘In the name of reason, why* Frank?’-’ “Because she is so peculiar. You will recollect I told you somethin; about it when she first came. I told yon she was terribly proud-spirited. You would scarcely think it, Charles, but it is so. She has an absolute hor ror of being dependent on any one. She has repeatedly told me she. would sooner think of committing suicide than marrying a wealthy man, while she is poor. She lias seen so much real misery resulting from injudicious marriages, that she will never risk her happiness by marrying above her own condition. She is so proud-spirited she will stick to tills resolution.” “It is strange, incredible, Frank, that she is so proud-spirited as yon say. “But it is true, Charley. Just- look at it rationally a moment. If she baa not been so proud-spirited, do yon think she would have kept up under this calamity, as she lias done? It was this i-iroml spirit that sent her iu- to the co..ntry to earn her living in the kitchen. It is this proud spirit that La3 helped her to cover up her real feelings, and seem so cheerful and happy since she has been here. I tell yoil, Chariey, she is a real heroine.— There is not one girl in ten thousand bat would have sank under such mis fortune, instead of rising above it. as her proud spirit has enabled her to do.” “I see it all now, Frank. But the fact that she is so brave, and keeps up such cheerfulness and good cour age under misfortune, proves her to be no ordiuary woman. I prize her all the more for it, Frank.” “True; it is just as you "say, Charley* and if this peculiarity of hers can be overcome, I shall offer you my warm est congratulations on your excellent choice.” “But can she Dot be persuaded out of this strange idea?” “It is possible, Charley, bnt there is only one way it can be done.” “How is that, Frank?” “I will go and talk it oyer with her, so as not to take her too much by surprise. Then, if she consents to see yon, I will come back and tell you.— Shall I go?” Yes, Frank. If yon will help me out of this miserable scrape, I shall think you are the best friend I have on earth?” When I entered the parlor again, Bell grasped both my hands and ex claimed: “Wb.lt did he say!” “He was greatly excited, Bell.— But said if you had concealed any thing from him, he wonld hear yonr explanation in my presence. My ad vice is, Bell, that you send for him and tell him all about- it. He is one of the noblest men I ever saw, except in this one peculiarity. If we can vince him of the falsity of this insane idea, I shall think you have made wise choice, and I shall congratulate you on yonr matrimonial prospects. It may be that between ns we can reason him out. of liis strange no tion.” “Oh, Frank, I will give away every dollar I possess, before it shall sepa rate ns.” “Perhaps that will not be necessary, BelL It may be that he wilLlisteri to reason. Shall I go and bring him in?” ‘.Yes, Frank; I cannot endure the suspense any longer.-’ I left the parlor in search of Mr. Charles Sidney, And just at this stage of the drama, i fancied an audi ence would be interesting; so, as the parlor was divided by sliding doors; I was not. long arranging a half dozen persons behind them, with injunctions t ‘Y?s.” When-we entered the parlor I ..was in advance. Bell rose from the sofa as we entered. She' stood at the end farthest from the door. I passed along and stopped opposite, the sofa, with iny back to the sliding doors.— Mr. Sidney came forward and paused at the opposite end of the sofa. Bell was greatly agitated, and Charles, scarcely less so! After looking at each other a moment, he commenced: “I have come to make a confession to yon, Miss Wyman.” Here be made a long pause to see the effect of his words. Bell’s eyes grew wide with astonish ment; bnt, thinki ng her lover was Woman’s Influence upon Man. ' It is better for you to pass an even ing once or twice a week in a lady’s drawing-room, even thongh the con versation fe slow, and yon know the girl’s song by heart, than in a club, a tavern, or the pit of a theater. All amusements of yontk to which vir tuous women are not admitted, rely on it, are deleterious in their nature. All men who avoid female society have dull perceptions and are stupid, or Lave gross tastes and revolt against what is pure, Yonr club-swaggers, who are sneking the butts of billiard cues all night, call female society in sipid.

OT lfc sIiA rATlllPll * Vianot wViri rlrano naf tnnw nna where Bell sat was directly in front of and facing .tho sliding doors, behind which the audience was concealed.— It occupied but a fewaninutes to make these preliminary arrangements, and then Y went for Mr. Sidney. When I entered the'rooihhe exclaimed: _ “What isthe result, Frank?” _ “She is- greatly, excited, Charles— even more than I feared- Bnt she says if you have deceived her in any thing, yon can come in my- presence and make yonr confession, and then she can judge whether J it is possible to forgive yotL My advice is, Charles, that yon come with me and make a clean breast of it. I believe that- both of ns c an bring her to reason. Will yon do it?” out of it, she replied “Yon mean that you came to hear my confession, Mr. Sidney.” It was now Mr. Sidney’s tarn to become petrified with astonishment; and while the two were looking at each other, speechless, I managed to open the sliding doors, and then ex claimed: “Miss Wyman, permit me to intro duce you to Professor Charles Sid ney Giles, a wealthy gentleman from Chicago, who has come east in search of a poor wife.” “Professor Giles, allow me to in troduce you to Miss Bell W. Ray mond, a Boston heiress, who has come into the country to pick out some poor man for a husband. Then turning to tlie audience, I continued: “Ladies and gentlemen: These two lovers have been engaged all sum mer playing a little game called ‘Dia mond Cut Diamond,’ and I fancy they have cut each other up pretty effect ually, A grand shout from the audience followed. “Oh yon hateful wretch!” exclaimed Bell, making a dash at' me, at the same time trying to seize my heard. Yon barbarian!” chimed in the Professor, endeavoring to reach iny throat. But I managed to evade both of them, and dove through the door into the hall. Then I lay down on the floor and screamed with laughter, till my sides were sore for a month.— When I returned to the parlor, Bell declared she wonld never forgive me as long as she lived. But I knew if she was half as happy as she seemed to be, she would never put the threat in force. The professor also protes- tliat he would give mo a comfortable choking the next time be met me alone. To all of which I replied that if they would furnish the party with an oyster supper and -invite my wife n:id I to the wedding, I would forgive them-for boring me with their matri monial secrets. On these conditions we u onld be good friends again, and on no other The terms were so mnch more liberal than they had any rea son to expect,: that they immediately promised compliance- So a weelj after, we had a grand oyster sapper. Bell and the profes sor cooked everything we had on the table, and never was cooking more scientifically performed, nor more de licious viands ever set before a com pany. Bell and the professor presided ovei the entertainment, and served the guests with becoming dignity and dis ci etion. A happier party never gath ered together. And when I produced and read Bell’s and the professor’s letters we were a merry group indeed:. My wife and I have just returned from a pleasure trip to Boston. The chil dren and boarders were delighted with the wedding cake. The cards read: Mb. asd Mbs. Charles S. Giles. Pro”. Cliarles S. Giles, Miss Bell W. Raymond. Chicago. Boston.

One of the great bene fits a man may derive from a woman’s society, is that he is bound to be res pectful to her. The habit is of great good to your moral men, depend upon it. Our education makes ns the most eminently selfish men in the world.— We fight for ourselves, w^ push for ourselves, we yawn for ourselves, we light our pipes and say we won’t go out, we prefer ourselves and oar ease; and the greatest- good that comes to man from woman’s society is that he has to think of somebody oo whom he is bound to be constantly atten tive and respectful.—Tliackery. Sedatives far Children. The Popular Science Monthly gives this warning on the important matter of using sedatives for the little ones: “One of the great dangers attending the use gf'tae various sedatives now so umyersaHy employed in the nur sery is that they tend to produce an opium habit. These quack medicines owe their soothing and quickening effects to the action of opium, and the infant is by them given a morbid ap petite for narcotic stimulants. The offering for sale of nostrums should be prohibited, as tending to the phys ical and moral deterioration of the race, In India mothers give to their infants sugar pills containing opium, and the result is a languid, sensual race of hopeless debauchees, In the United States the poisonous dose is administered under another name, bnt the consequence will probably be the same.” New Departure Democrats- An iliinois Democratic paper states the truth concisely and forcibly when it says the trouble and difficulty the Democratic party has hitherto, en countered in past campaigns, procee ded from those wishy-washy, namby- pamby,-Aunt Nancy Democrats, whs Me ever ready to be persuaded by anybody and almost any tiling to switch off upon every side track in polities that designing men may sug gest.

They are a dangerous set wherever found, and their counsels should he steadily disregarded. ” Wisdom of Science.

This excited ills vanity, and unhappily he talked- abont the art .of An Old Inundation. Groton had a little experience in the inundation line about the year 1700.— The water was conducted from Mas- sapog pond to run a water-wheel be longing to one Adams, bnt one day the dam broke, and the water, more than thirty feet deep, rolled off down the valley. The mill was overwhelm ed, and the water found its way three or four miles down the conntry. and then into a natural brook. Some body has estimated the water let loose at 23 000,000 tons in weight. The pond, the area of which wasonce more than a mile, of course, dwindled to very small proportions* and the land once covered by the fugitive water is now supporting a forest. There is a tradition that a servant of Adams saw the break when a bat-full of earth wonld have sfoppe I the flow, but be ing vexed with Adams for not allow ing him batter in his porridge, he let the water run. A Corner in Cats. We-have all.heard of the anecdote concerning the gentleman who wrote to his hired man in the conntry to send him three barrels per Simmons, and the answer came that, there were not so many persimmons then ripe, bnt wonld send one barrel and the rest as soon as possible. Here is a parallel actual occurrence: An ana conda, which was on exhibition at San FrancFco, was fed on mbits dai ly. When the snake was taken to Sa cramento for exhibition, it was uncer tain how long the show would- stay; bnt the pa tronage of the Sacrainen- tans was generous. aDd the agent at once telegraphed for his show posters to “bill the town.” The dispateh read: “Send two hundred cuts immediately,” but when received it read:; “Send two hun dred cats immediately.” It was a lit tle bit of a surprise to the agent in San Francisco when he read the mes sage, but. he-reasoned that rabbits were scarce in Sacramento, and it was necessary to substitute eats for the regular provender, so he started out an army of boys to catch all the stray cats. By the afternoon train hp sent a crate of seventy-five cats, with a let ter saying: “I send seventy-five: cafe by this train and will forward balance to-morrow, but I am afraid that nnin- His First Client Paul Parallel of literary fame tells the following experience relating to his first client : The first case, yon know marks an era in the lawyer’s life. Until the final examination everything future is rose-colored. Practice, that will come as a matter of course. Troops of clients are waiting anxious to disgorge the glittering symbols of earthly happiness—the only thing is admission to the bar. Ah! there is thernb! The roll of fame so nearly foil has yet a top space left blank just waiting my name, and yet these old dry crotchety lawvers may, from their jealousy, propound some obsolete le gal eonnmdrnm to bar my way to fame. But once in the arena and then —but once admitted, and golden vis ions vanish. The clients have become tired of waiting and gone otherwhere. They are an unappreciative set any way, they shonld have heard my last junior oration! I was admitted—I purchased a “shingle,” and set oat—I ordered 40 pigeon boxes, then increased the or der to fifty; then I raved to think they were too sm:ill to hold expectant voluminous packages. Job was sorely afflicted, bnt he nev er waited for clients. Day after day each foot-fall on the stairway raised hopes, to be soon dissipated. Talk of the love-sick miidcn waiting for her lover who eometh not; she knows nothing cf the woes of disap pointed expectation. But at last he came, not a client, bnt a limping, cross-eyed forerunner of one in the shape of a tipstave who understood “addition, division and si- jsnee.” He told me he had a case for me. That Butcher Blufl had been im prisoned for stabbing, in a drunken row, a companion whom he swore he would pickle and eat. “Can clear him?” he said in a cracked voice. “Certainly,” said I, “the man was in sane, evidently insane, and the most they can make out against him is a sine qua non, for which the penalty is six months in the House of Refuge.” Go at once to the jail,” said he, “and see the prisoner, and, mark, see to it that yon get yonr fee in advance.” I smiled and replied, “My dear fel low, trust me fot that” So saying, -I sailed for Moyamensing, made my business known and was ushered into the cell, the turnkey saying he would Light without Matches. To obtain light instantly mthout the use of matches and without the danger of setting things on fire take an oblong phial of the whitest and clearest glass; put info it a peace of phosphorus about the size of a pea, upon which poor some olive oil, heated to the boiling point, filling the phial about one-third full, and thjn seal the phial hermetically. To use it remove the cork and allow the air to enter tne phial, and recork it. The whole empty space in the bottle will then become luminous, and the light obtained will be equal to that of a lamp. As soon as the light grows weak its power can be increased by opening the phial and allowing a fresh supply of air to enter. In winter it is sometimes necessary- to heat the phial between the hands to increase the finidity of the oil. Thus prepared the phial may be used six months. This contrivance is now used by the watchmen of Paris in all magazines where explosive or. inflammable mate rials are stored.

BABBITT’S Pure Coilcentrafed Potasfe The Tennessee Canrass. The Civil Rights bill has proved to be a fire-brand among the Tennessee Republicans. In consequence of the Democratic schism in that State two year ago, seven out of ten Congress men chosen were Republicans. Bnt the Democrats are nnited again; even Andy Johnson goes about the State bearing an olive branch in his hand, and the prospects are that every Con gressman elected next November will be a Democrat. It is the tarn of the Republicans to be rent by divisions, and this time the split is between the black and white members of the party. The negroes demand social eqnality os granted them by the Civil Rights bill, and the whites, led by that aged impof perversity, old Parson Brownlow just as earnestly refuse to consent to it. What the Republican party of Tennessee can do without its petted blacks is not easy to understand. TLe' probability is that the quarrel will culminate in the whites drifting over into the Democratic ranks, and the horrible possibility is presented of Parson Blownlow with them. From snch a calamity as a Democratic Brown- low, the Tennessee white folks will beg the good powers to deliver them. To Preserve a Roquet.

A creaking noise, the taming of sa key, and I was alone with my first client. He was a large and burley fellow, had shaggy hair and whiskers and a restless eye which looked mis chief. Said I, “I am an attorney, come to redeem you from the clutches of the law.” “You is, am you?” he replied—“sit down young man, you see I am jnst taking my grub. But look here what does this amount to for a starving man? I must eat and! will eat, and now, young man you will please strip and prepare yourself, for I intend to dine on you?” His voice which was at first mild had merged into a fierce growl and bis eyes had a fiendish glow. “I hain’t my cleaver but this will do”—here he palled out a glittering knife from his side pocket snch as butchers use. ‘You see I come prepared, you are young and tender; come, makeready 1”. “Heavens!” thought I, “am T to be butchered by this lunatic?” I endur ed an age of agony in that moment. All my dreams of future glory to end in a felon’s cell—the victim of my first and only client? Where was the turnkey? Five minutes had not pas sed, and in one , moment I wonld be hacked into pieces. What was to be done? Resistance was in vain, and no help hear. I-bethought me of one ex pedient.

Use of Nettles- Dr. Nicholls says that the greatest preventive of ye llow fever in Bermu da is dried nettle, powdered and used as a condiment in all cooking. The doctor resides on the isle of Jersey, and he uses it successfully among his patients. He preserves it like herb teas, and keeps it in a dry place.— Dr. Thorntonuses it as a styptic.
