When things don’t go to suit you, And the world seems upside down, Don’t waste your time in fretting. But drivo away that frown ; Since life is oft perplexing, H is the wisest plan To bear all trials bravMy, And smile whene’er you can. Why should you dread to-morrow And thus spoil your to-day ? For when you borrow trouble, You always have to pay. It is a good old maxim Which often should bo preached— Don’t cross the bridge before you Until the bridge is reached. You might be spared much sighing, If you would keep in mind The thought that good and evil Are always hero combined ; There must bo something wanting, And though you roll in wealth, You may miss from your casket That precious jewel health. Though you are strong and sturdy, Not full may be your purse : And earth has many trials Which I consider worse— But whether joy or sorrow Fill your mortal span, ’Twill make your pathway brighter To sr i i)4 vnoiiVr ,you can. Hungarian Count at Long Branch! 08, lIOW IT WA S DON E. BY K. M’CRERY. * Well I’exc'aimed Mrs. Simpson. ‘lf you do not catch a husband in that dress, Matilda, you will never catch one. I did not have anything half so stylish as that when I caught your father, but then, to be sure, he was not mutch of a , you will do ix'lLtr. .Si\ girls to -sHITe in me.*""W- exSrt~ JoviU Selves a little. Do not leave! every thing to me. Where is your fai/liu, *<' ‘He is out on the steps, smoking a cigar, ma.’ ‘Just like him ; no ambition at all!’ Then Mrs. Simpson stopped talking for a few minutes, and set to work. She worked iike a—like a whole bee-hive. She would pack a trunk, then take ev erything out of it just to put them all into it again, giving herself about four times as much trouble as was necessary. But then she was one of those women who like to be martyrs, or to appear like martyrs—who make themselves out slaves to their husbands and children. The Simpsons’ present destination was Long Branch. They had examined the c.olumn_of summer reso.rts in the daily Herald for weeks, hoping to find some thing that would combine fashion and cheapness; but as these things are rath er incongruous, they, in view of the superior advantages that might be de rived from it in a social and matrimonial way, chose the fashionable, and discar ded the cheap. Long Branch it should be. ‘Because, girls,’ Mrs. Simpson truly remarked, ‘the beach is such a nice place for flirtations. Not that I, as a mother would wish to encourage such things. Oh, no P Mr. Simpson, Mrs. Simpson, and six Misses Simpsons, were registered at a Long Branch hotel. 1 shall not say which one for particular reasons. But it was a very expensive one. ‘Now, Mr. Simpson,’ exclaimed the madam— the general, 1 think, we ought to call her—‘introduce the girls! VV ho were those nice-looking young gentle men I saw you talking to ?’ ‘Really, my dear, 1 do not know.’ ‘Quite time you did, then. You have no ambition at ail, Mr. Simpson. Go, find out, and bring them here.’ Mr. Simpson started off on amiid trot. ‘Remember, girls,’ masaid emphati cally, after pa had disappeared, ‘young gentlemen like animation. Bright, sprightly, animated girls are always attractive. Now, ] always tried to be amused at your father’s little jokes, before we were married. You do not know how well it takes.’ You see the general understood strategy, and she was explaining her successful tactics to her little army of daughters. ‘Laugh heartily when the young men say some thing witty, no matter how silly it real ly is. Enjoy their little jokes. It pleases them immensely ; and, girls, it is a great thing to have in an establish ment. Do not forget to be animated.’ The six MissSimpsons giggled, just to see if they could do it. Ido not think any cne would care to hear them repeat it. Were you ever on a farm ? And did you, justbefore dawn, hear the hens, and the guThea-bens, all begin to cackle ? Is it not euphonius ? ‘Ma!’ exclaimed Arabella. *Ma/’ said Matilda. ‘Ma/’;cried Sophia. ‘Herejcomes pa witha young man.’ ‘Good gracious/ Is that all? One young man ! )ne young man to six girls! Wc ice not Mormons. Just like your father.’ • Al fy* man was presented, and the tix*;Vuss Simpsons bowed. They oil put their elbows back, and hung the tips of their ligers down when they bovfed. The ybung man hazarded a remark on the excessive heat of the weather, and the s x Miss Simpsons giggled. Their tpa looked daggers. It was not the thee to giggle. All the girls looked frightened. Altogether, the first evenin' I'* 1 '* lEs a failure. The i Ywing morning Mrs. Simpson, the DauiTlfess, took three timid Miss. Simpsots (o the bath. They had not bathing suit; for all, it took so much flannel, yon know, so they were going to take .urns. Matilda went into the water With a gasp, and grasped the rope; she had hardly caught hold of it beferai.-j .Mjj** bjeijAer cashed her away aiid.she, bai.ie flat, along with a whole Dt of other people she did not 1 know at all; in fact,she|did know not who sho was herself for a few seconds, and when she didi she heartily wished it was somebody 61se, and that she was safely back into the city, where they did not have any breakers. Miss Victoria, next eldest of the six, sat in her scarlet flannel suit, with two long, flaxen braids hanging down be neath her hat, high and dry on the and. Nearer to the water she could not he persuaded to come, and every time that the spray fell on the tips of her canvas slippers, Mss Victoria opened her mouth and yelled. Mrs. Simpson was distract; 1. Arabella, the youngest, re ally eojy.Km thefun, but then the. was ppllll H* Th: girls were excessively fond of danciiig, so they attended every.-hop. Not that they always got a chance to dance; iit just to be on hand in case they did-. They were stylish jprls the Misses Simpsons were. Ido cot know where you would see six equal to them. They wore a great deci of pannier, and their hair very much ala Pompadour, and they had the highest kind of heels to their boots—brass heels—that made music for them, and such a clatter, you would have thought it Wqs the ninth reg iment on 1 jiarade. Then* they had all sorts of little ribbonsaroundtheir necks, with bits of lockets attached. Os a windy day it was quite a treat to see these Dcopons living about, like the flags oT aTrnatTbns at half mast’. It made one feel as patriotic as the fire crackers do on the fourth of July. Mrs. Simpson always superintended the girls’ toilet herself. She would give Victo ria’s dress a few little scientific jerks, so that it would have a stylish hang, then she re-arranged those new curls that Matilda had just bought, (they costa great deal, too,) and she made them look just as natural a3 if they grew on Matilda’s head. It is true they were not exactly the same shade as her hair, but then who would notice this small defect! The general effect was quite imposing, especially when all the girls stood in a flock, as they invariably did, except Arabella,. She would slip away from the family circle, and when ques tioneJ gjionl it, would archly reply : ‘Oji, never mind, iFis all right.’ However, she told Victoria, and Vic toria, dutiful child, wentstraight to her mother with the news that Arabella was having a flirtation. ‘And, oh, ma/ it is so roimantic,’ ex claimed Victoria. ‘Arabella says he is a Hungarian Count. She is to meet him clandestinely this evening on the beach.’ ‘A Hungarian Count! Dear me ! I must see about this. A title is some thing, but perhaps he is poor. Still a title! Where did Arabella first meet him V ‘Oh, on the beach several evenings ago, when she and I, if you remember, went out lor a walk.’ ‘But who introduced him ?’ introduced himself. For you see it was this way : Arabella was pick ing up shells, and going close to the water as she did so. Well, a great wave came in which she did not'observe, it rushed up and up the sands, and came almost to h';r feet; then she saw it for ( the first time and screamed. The Count j was walking there at the time, aud TERMS-TWO DOLLARS IN ADVANCE. hearing her cry hurried up. He was so polite, and was dressed so gentleman like, and was so handsome—oh, mama, dear 1 I have been dying to tell you.’ ‘And he is really a Count V ‘Of course he is. He has, he says, gieat estates on the Danube, and has only come here for the summer. He is very romantic, and says he never will marry only for love, an 1 wants to mar ry an American girl, because they mar ry only for love. I should not wonder,’ aud here her vuice fell to a whisper, ‘if he coaxes Arabella to .elope with him — he says that is so much more romantic than every day marriage.’ Mrs. Simpson could hardly couceal her gratification. She began to build castlis in the air immediately. Os course, if Arabella married a Hungari an Count, especially one who had great estates, she would ask one or more of her sisters to visit her ; and what was more certain, that other counts would be fascinated, and the dear girls married off, one after another, to foreign noble men. Mrs. Simpson had always heard that the Austrian court was the most aristocratic in Europe, and she already saw herself a distinguished visitor at that court, because the mother-in-law of numerous Austrian and Hungarian magnates. That evening Mrs. Simpson with her two eldest daughters, went to take tea with a friend, at one of the hotels. Her motherly heart could not refrain from telling her friend of Arabella’s good tuck. All at one, in the very middle of her story Arabella fainted away. When the usual restoratives were ap plied, she recovered, but she only said when pressed for an explanation, ‘Oh, take me away—take me away/’ But Victoria drew her mother aside ; ‘I know what is the matter, she said ‘Only to think of it/ The Hungarian Count is the head waiter of this hotel. I recognized him at once, aud so did Ar abella. The fi ur other dutiful daughters were awaiting on the piazza the return us their me thus and sisters. When they saw Mrs. ‘TitnAsonentering horri fied countenance, they cried with one ac cord : ‘Oh ! ma, what is the matter ?’ ‘That wicked, wicked girl 1’ ‘Ma, dear ma, what is it?’ ‘Go pack your trunks at once ; we are going home, and I shall never take you anywhere again until you have learned some sense.’ ‘Oh, ma, what is it? You cannot leave the Hungarian Count/ Wh«t will Arabella do '/ Where is her beau ?’ they asked. ‘Her beau / the Count /’ Mrs. Simp son gasp, and her voice rose to a scream, ‘lie was die head waiter !’ ‘Oh 1’ was the answer. ‘So Arabella has hat} a flirtation with, the head wait er.’ Arabella hung down her head and wept. Victoria, Matilda and the three other Miss Simpsons groaned aloud. Mrs. Simpson waved her right hand to the girls tragically. ‘Ungrateful children 1 we start for home at once. Thus ends your sum mer trip. Mr. Simpson, Mrs. Simpson and the six Misses Simpsons, with seven large trunks and two small ones, left the Branch on the next train. Thoy all wore thic/r veils except Mr. limpson, I believe the girls are searching dilligent ly after sense. Unhappy Arabella! H QLSENBUCK IS MORTALLY WOUNDED. —Day before yesterday, about one o’clok p. jl. While the guard was eat ing dinner, Ilolsenbake, one of the murderers of Colonel Fish, who was confined in jail at Oglethorpe, convicted of the murdet, attempted to make his f scape by breaking through the roof of the jail. He had reached the outer wall before he was discovered by the guard, who called to him to halt, but that being no part of his programme he refused to obey, whereupon the guard discharged both barrels of a double-barrel shot gun at him, each load taking effect—one in the left shoulder and the other fracturing the the right leg above the knee. Passen gers on the Southwestern train yester day afternoon report him in a dying condition from the wounds. Lloyd, the other murderer, has been removed to the Albany jail for greater safety.

Tlio .Taps—Thcir Strange Uo iugs in Washington It is hard to tell who is ambassador and who is servant, Japanese dignity being a peculiar species of article, and not the kind of dignity we encourage.— Besides the ‘Japs., so much resemble each other you can hardly toil which is which. Saturday I happened to be in the Arlington when Mr. Sheckles, the clerk, received ap .order for a sick func tionary’s mejl. lie had marked more than twenty‘fancy dishes—that is, rich things thatasick Yankee will studious ly avoid. And he told the waiter to be sure and bring'him plenty of hard boiled i ggs and ice cream. The other night, atfout twelve o’clock, three or four of them got together in a room and ordered hard-boiled eggs and icecream for supper. Sheckles says they will never get around the. world if they live in other countries as they live here. They do not seem to eat much, but they live on the most ‘out iandish’ food. They seem to think all the ho tels are under one management, if we may judge from their movements. Yes terday a lot of them went into the Ebbitt House, took breakfast, an i walk ed off without paying or making any ex planation. When they first came they were nearly all quartered at the Arling ton. Some went to other hotels. Now they are scattered all over the city, some in hotels, others in hoarding houses.— But the principal officers of the embas sy all stay at the Arlington. Yesterday L was standing at the oltice of the Ar lington when an angular-faced Jap came up, with baggage on bis arm, and said totheclerk, ‘Me goin’away. Me wun’c be here no more.’ ‘Me goin’ to Ebbitt House.’ ‘Will you give up your room ?’ ‘No, me and two other fellows goin’: free other fellows come from Ebbtt House to ta/ce our place.’ ‘So they go the imperial, Metropoli tan, Welcker’s, Wormley’s, and all over. The hotel keepers like it. They can make from ten to twenty dollars average a day out of each Jap, from Iwakura to Hokeppke, and it will be found that tire 01Jyea3**r>e.riS -wftf save such bills to pay*for the same Japs lor the time at two different hotels. It any one happens to twit them about their curious antics, they say‘Me don’t care; me got plenty money, and me goin, to spend it.’ I Some of them smoke opium almost continuously. The chambermaids at the hotel think ‘it’s funny smellin, of tobacco they smoke.’ They have a bag full ofivory pieces and aboard on which they play a game that seems to he very amusing to them. The other evening a party got together in a room, and com menced playing the game, At inter vals, when a player seemed to be check mated, they laughed boisterously, and went through all sorts of performances, such as turning handsprings and stand ing on their heads. As I remarked above, it is hard to tell from their ap pearance who are tire ambassadors, and who followers and servants. These ec centric freaks are probably the diversions of the latter in all cases The Ueatli ofc L.owry. The New York Hearuld prints letters from a correspondent, who says that he has spent some days with the Low ery outlaws of Robeson county, N. G. Qne of tie se letters gives the following account of the death of Henry Berry Lowery, the leader of the gang ; ‘Between February 13th and lGtli, in company with Boss Strong, Henry Berry Lowery was ranging the country in the neighborhood of Moss Neck, in search of some persons whom he had been informed w'ere hunting him. They discovered in the bushes a newly made ‘blind’ (a place of concealment or ambush made by intertwinining the branches of the thickly grown bushes). It was not then occupied, and Henry Berry, believing it had been recently made by one of his pursuers, who woulJ shortly return to it, eseonced himself in it, while Boss made a blind for himself a short distance off, cover ing the road. But a lew minutes after they had placed themselves in their res pective positions the report of a gurt was heard from Henry’s hiding place, and vyhen Boss, who waited to hear a word from his chief or an answering shot from an enemy, cautiously ap proached the spot. Henry Berry Low ery lay on his bacL with one barrel of bis shot gun discharged, and his nose, forehead and the whole front of his head blown off. The broken ramrod and the missing wiper showed he had been trying to draw a load from his gun. Boss drew the body into a thicket "and notified his companions, who straight away buried him.’
