They are kept Constantly under the paternal eye until given up to their hnsbaud, and then they take their own coUrs. Almost as soon as a girl is borne, in the better rahke of society, her parents begin U) prepare the dowry she must have When she goes to het husband. She must fur bish everything for an otitfit in life, even to a dozen new shirts lor her coming husband. The young man goes to the house of his proposed bride and count over her dressts, and examines the fur niture, and sees the whole with his own eyes before he commits himself to the irrevocable bargain. In high life sueh things are conducted witn more appa rent delicacy; but the facts a e ascer tained with accuracy, the business being in the bauds of a broker or notary.— The iroutseau is exposed iu the public be icre ihe wedding-day. SIX INCHES OF STEEL. Yeart ago—how long I need iWt tell—l wished to learn the two pVoiuinefit accomplishments of a gentle, man <>V that d»y, fencing and dancings A friend gave me the address AT a ten ftYit of his in Russell Square, a frencli refugee, wh'6 taught these arts. One af* teifioon I called and asked was M. Jacques at home. A stout, hearty-look ing English girl o| en *d the door, and replied that the oii gentfeiftun was in, would I •come in here ?’ -Here’ was a small room on the right of the passage. The heavy slipshod Teet toiled up the stone ntaftcaSe; I heard a door half opened, and the murmuring of vimie.-, and then the alijn-hod teet toiled up another fl.ght, and a Arm yet light.tread descending told me that M. Jacques was coming. The "door opened and a tall, white haired, soldier like figure entered the room, and the keen eyes swallowed uie abd thy belongings at a gfuce. ‘Good day, sir. You uie English; but, do you speak French V • Un pen.' ‘An I I see, a very, very little ; let us toeu talk in your tongue till by and by.’ Clearly, I did not Speak French well, in M. Jacques’ »piiii<>n. ‘ Vou desire me lor what)’ ‘My triend, Mr. Wilsou— ’ ‘Ah ! your friend- he is a very good man —a gracious man ; yes.’ ‘lie stated that you could teach fen cing and dancing.’ * 1 us, that i* true ; I can teach fen cing and dancing, in it for that you want me V ‘lt is. 1 desire to learn lioth accom plishments as speedily us possible.’ ‘Good; that is well; 1 like your ener gy When will you begiu ?’ ‘Now, if u suits you.’ ‘Quite so. lam at your set vice.’ ‘But you have not mentioned the terms.’ ‘Terms r ‘Yes. How much shail I have to pay ‘Yea, to pay. I had forgotten. You shall pay me tor four lessons, one guinea, left well"? Are you satisfac— eatisfao ted?’ ‘fStftWfied.'’ ‘Yes, that is ft A.fe you satisfied ?' ‘Quite. 1 will take twelve lessons in each art.’ ’Twe’ve lessons ! B.ih! you shall need little when you ‘shall reach the ending of your course, if you have de scent, as you call it here-**tttood not bourgeois—y .u uodei'stahd.’ ‘My ‘fa* heV, sir, was a the son of a p »or country gentleman. I am— * ‘iV importe. I can see what yon are. € shall make you a good swordsman in a little time, if you will keep your eye on your adversary as you kept it ftftTife when I made that speech to you. You have what you call 'pluck,’ it is right— ‘pluck ?’ ‘Quite right.’ ‘1 hen dune, and we shall try Vour eye and wrist up-stall**. lie went up-si airs, and I followed the old soldier We entered a lar re, well lighted room on tha first floor, bare of all iu niture hut a piano, then a rarer instrument than now, and a few chairs. On the piers between the w indows hung Wtoie hols atwl masks, while some half dozen single sticks stood iu the corner. ‘Now, monsieur, will you place your self there, us thus : with your body up fight, ahd lift'd Vour arms hanging loose ly to your side*-, com/tie ca’ The old gentleman put himself in position: aw he did so, I noticed the slightest fnftp, t%<* sb&fttest but s ilia limp—ttiat I siW, \k’atohed .un dining the lesson, was from a stif feuing of the knee jo. nt. I tlought it was a curious thing to |»e taking ales son iu the most active id eXer»lsea of an old gent-einan w'ho wuh fame, but I could see at once that he wus a peifei'A in ster ol the wcajion. ‘That will do for today for tfie sword, monsieur ; now for the dance, if n»or» sii-ur is hot too much fatigued ’ ‘Not at all—not the least ‘Well then, to begin. You know a little of the dalice ?’ ‘A very Very little—as little as of French inous-eOr. . 'A-lr 1 you shall know all better in a little ’ He took from off the piano a small vioun and a bow, hud ran a Vapid scale on the strings. ‘(ieod. Now, place yourself comme t<i Oftef, two, three.

He moved to the door and hall open ing it. called tthpallbhity in Frvhcli t 'Julie, Julie, descend quickly in yoiir shoes.' In a few second.- entered Jnlie. Julie ! tt is a liSRg time nOW since 1 first saw Julie. Can l picture hei ? A tall* dark girl, with black—int nsely black—large eyes, child's eyes ; a small mouth, full lips, and a form thin, la my, and lithe aA a greyhound's! diessed in a low child’s dress, much too small and sh'drt ft r her. She was like a child of ten, seen through a glass that made her the size of a girl of eighteen. ‘Marlemoi zelle de Bonheur—Monsieur Arthur Forrester.’ She com tested low, in the style then in fashion; I made my best bow. ‘Ju lie, my liiiHJ is tri day weak ; I cannot teach ; you shall teach this gentleman his dance.’ ‘Out, nton, pere.’ ‘Now begin. Un, detit, trois. Re gard nindemotselle’s feet, monsieur; it her feet that dances. Un, deux, trois.’ And so oh for nearly half an honr, dll Hng w hich the eternal ‘Un, deUX, trois’ was iHkrtisicinally. interrupted by little ol the sttings with the fingers, and sudden sweepings of the bow over the instrument, ‘Good, rnonsi. ui ; yon have soul ; yon shall yet dance—you feel music. It shall be creditable to me to have taught you. Julie., you shall wish rnonsieu r good day.’ Bonjour, monsieur,’ said Julie; and with a low bourtesy she left ns. ‘And when will y id c'oifle again V ‘The day after to-morr.ow lean come.* ‘B-ien; conic then. 1 shall hope my limb will then be well.- Benjonr, Mon sieur;- and the old gentlemfun rang the bell and bowed toe ont. The day came, aqd I went again, aud was directly shown up-Btairs into the room. ‘Ah, monsieur, we are unfortunate ; my limb is no use. This climate «>1 yours is bad for the old soldier; my wounded limb aches for want of the sun ’ ‘I shall be glad to call another day, if more convenient.’ ‘No, *; it is of no consequence; Julie will teach you. Will you be *0 ftitid 118 ro open the door folr me ?—I am cripple.’ ‘Ce tainlv.’ ‘Julie, Juliet’ thundered the old rnau ; ‘descend quickly, with your shoes and your cor age ’ Julie came speedily, and with a smalj leather breast guard la her bund. 440» j .ur roansieur ’ ‘Bm.jour, Mademoiselle Ju—de Boil heur.’ ‘See, nqwyyou shall tatce j-our lesson from Mademoiselle,’ said monsieur, as he bii‘ kied on her leather armor, and fi led her, mask ‘Now, salute, .lulie, salute,’ Julie went through the mo tions with ease and grace that t-xeelied her lather’s. ‘Now, you must regard the baud iif mademoiselle': the tittle has not come to you Ki thatch her eyes.— Now,in guard. Good Carte—thrust.’ I thrust as gently as possible, vVhile Julie, with the toil in her left hand, slip, ped the fiugera o! the right hand along Irty blade to aid the bend in Hub fen cing style. ‘Bah! Monsi.ur, do not fear; it hus not arrived to you yet to be dangerous tb mademoiselle. Again, that. You must lunge with yotsr body, and ol mademouMeile have no tear; she c«h guard herself. Your uails up a little more. Now, the caite —thrust. That is he ter. Again ’ The situation wa* horrible; to be compel ed to thrust lull in the cheat of this chihl; but there was no help for it, and I did it; and so we went on through the whole ot tl»e motions—-prime, sec ond, quint, parad--, low carlo, und the rest of it—Julie placing herself in the proper position, and thi listing and guar ding with a vigor uud grace that tlioie than equalled her teacher’s. Alter the fencing cuiue the dancing with its ‘Un, denx, troia 1 and a repeti tition of the camion that mandemoni aelle'e feet, should be regarded, as it was w ith those she was teaching. The limb continued weak for some lime, uud the lesson continued to be given by Julie, and as my eyes began to get accustomed to look on hers through the haze of the wires of the mask—for I had become practiced enough to be (»erinittud to cross ioils with hdr tn real uttack«aiid defence —l saw a change ’hftd 'cotnw over them ; the child was growing a woman ; theie was no longer the stare iff ctiikl alt cu riosity, or the simple glance of tti« practiced feuier; there was more, the woman's soul waking iu them. Her form altered ; the angles were becoming rounded, the g ace wus more graceful, but tlie thin tightly stretched skin on the face aud shoulders, that altered bat little * ' —- Une dn|y I taught a box of chocolates for the old gentleman, who at last well enough to take the foils; he ate some, and gave the box to Julie, and we went, ou with our lesson, she lemaftWd in the room for the dancing. When the lesson was over, lie said: ‘Ah 1 how I will enjoy one of your lit.ln chocolates.’ Julie started as if from a dreiun —the box was empty. He laughed, and said : ‘Ah. my child, you are so fond of chocolates, you have not lelt your la'her <>ue. ‘ Ah . coquine' —and he pinch ed her ssar—‘ah, greedy one !’ She blushed, the teuts started iu her y<-e, she said nothing. Bah I Now, moiisie r, I have broken my string. Julie, go get me— No; you don't know where; I'll myselt go.— Ma<leittoi-vllo shall play you some mu sic while 1 atn gone, monsieur ; iu a few minutes I shall return-.’ The old man klt the room w ith his ThStruVnent, and Julie turned to the ,i --atio and sat down. As l opened it, she sa.d, with her voice lull of teais: ‘Mon sit-ur, you must not ihfok me a greedy child.’ •But, said I hiMghipgly, ‘you ate the whole box.’ ‘ I rue, monsieur ; but since last Sun day 1 have eaten nothing but some bread—since yesterday, nothing lam not grvedv ; I was hungry and forget - till.’. *My G«-d, mademoiselle! what can you me..n ? Y<-u are destroying your self. VV by did ui'u hot eat—at your age?’ ‘At my age ? There it as nothing to eat; «fier Maty had eaten, theie Was notlong to eat.’ ‘Heav«na !’ Poor child I is this pos sible ? 1, wretch that I am, have never unfce offered to pay Vour father what I owe him; why, . have had one course of lessons after another and paid for none. Why did not your lather speak—remind file ? ‘AbVdsteur do Bon henr would die first ’ ‘I will pay this moment. Fool that I was not to see ft in your face I’ Am 1 then so thin V ‘Thin 1 poor child P ‘t hihi! lam seventeen motisiear.’ ‘Sev. nteen. mademoiselle!’ *Oui, monsieur; j ui dix-sept tins.’ ‘I ant Vei-y sorry ; I will at once see J’o'ur father.’ v ‘Bo not disturb yourself so much, monsieur; it is nothing. II it had not been for the chocolates, 3«iu would n«*t have known about it at all. but I could not let you think me a greedy child.— You will not speak to my father as if I had told you ? Promise me. lie would never forgive Hit:’ ‘Mademoiselle, I promise.’ The old gentleuian now entered with the hew string properly adjusted, and once more we began the one, two, three, lour. 4 Alachinalement , J ulie, machinalement ; Monsieur is to learn to dance, not to dance for his pleasure. Un, deux, trois comma ca.’ And so we went through the minuet and the new waits, to the scraping of the violin ; and whenever we nitived a little too much, as though we were dan cing for pleasure instead"" of pratcing, ‘Machinalement, Julie, un, deux, trois,’ speedily brought us to task level. At the close of the lfesson, 1 stated that 1 Was uncertain about Iteiug able to to come again for sometime, and should be glad to discharge, as Itff hh money could, IWjr obligations ttt bita.’ ‘N'irhpoftfj, rtiondrertr; when you have completed, will be good.’ CUTHBER.T, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1870. ‘I must beg You to allow me to settle the matter n<»w.’ t . ,‘Bieiq’ said monsieur, wfth a strug ‘lf you wish it; and he dropjied the gninies without counting them into h s Waisteo it pocket, with an air of tndd ferem-e that would have beer) fft'iYghable but for the story I had just heard from poor Julie. I left the house and waited at the street corner to see what would happen; and in few moments" I saw the English gi*l come «ut with her basket, on the top a little bottle of foreign make; and then I left, determined that while my ignorance of fencing and daftt-ing Could pfteVeftt it »lie *hould never eat another box of ohoeulatt‘B from sheer hunger. It was more than a week before I again went to the house. The change Waft complete; Julie wus a woman, a beautiful brilliant woman. Food bad acted on her as by tn .gic. Her drew too was altered, higher in the throat, .lower in the skirt, but still short enough to show the most delicate foot aud an kle I ever saw. The oM mail saw no difference. - When the limb was well, If. need with him while Julie played, when the limb was bad, I fenced and daft’e-d with u lie, with only an oce&sianal ‘Plus ma l YiinAtemeat, J uRe, un, deux, trois.’— And so it went on for months till the old gentleman said to m : ‘Monsieur, it is time for yon to feave us You are a gtM»d swordsfuan; it is only practice that you need to be one pi tiie be.-t. I no longer take yuur money for teaching you, us i can teach you uoib mg.’ 1 pleaded foi just one more course of lessons; I could not yet disarm. ‘True, monsieur, ydb cannot; you shall have one more course of lessons.— M.y wvist is now getting stiff, as well UBmy li nli; but Julie's, is tW stbel Blie *h.il teac.i ,yob. When you can disarm Julia; there is no more we c»n teach yob ’ 1 don't know how it happened 1 , but just at this time, when my adrnii alien— -1 don’t say love, but admiration—for Julie was at its highest point,! fell ill love, literuily headlong; not a moment's warning was given me. I went to my mother’s one evening, and fin eftttft'mg the room, suw my destiny. I went to take my lessons as usual, but i took no iuteiest in them. I was changed; and never did I get fiercer thrusts 111 the fencing .essous. Six or eight times a foil sprang out of my hand, as if I hud been a novice. I was net tled. What bud I done or said to cause it ? I gave up guessing, und attended to the lesson ouce more. Her foil, like a lithe serpent, seized mine, and threw it with a loud clang against the wall. ‘Duueement, Julie; douncetneiit, tna fille; doueement. Monsieur is fatigued. You had better cease.’ And neVer once during the dancing lesson that followed was uttered the usual ‘Machiiialement, Julie;’ all the life and energy seemed to haVe test her The next lesson presented the same features, a littlcM ore subdued. Bet ween the tftird and last lesson, I happend to ii*e*t to Julie and her lather in the street; I bowed and my companion asked who they were. ‘My fencing master aud his child.’ ‘Child ! Arthur.’ ‘Daughter, I should have said. I’m going there to*-HHftr’ow for my last leß ‘Oh !’ And my destiny was Yftorte si leut than u»ual during our walk home. On the morrow 1 went to Russell Square ; und before we hud been en gug«d ten minutes, the old gentleman was called awyy to see some visitor.— He left the room with an apology to me, and I turned to renew iny contest with Julie. She had thrown aside her Yfta*ks and was standing with the poiut of foil in fu r left hand. ‘Now, Jinie,’ said .1, —for insensibly we hud dropped into the way of calling euch other Julie and Arthur—‘now, Ju lie, once more.' ‘My name is Bonheur, monsienV; Mademoiselle de Bonheur. Who was that blonde English woman I nu t you with yesterday ?’ *V\ ho wasit ? That lady, Julie, will be my wile in ess than a mouth;**- VVhai's the matter, Julie? Are you ill? ‘hi n thing. Takeoff your mask; We mb and in'it always play 1 ke children, monsieur.’ I threw ft off into the corner of the room and we began. I was quite cool; she evidently under the influence of *ome strong passion, with arnazmg en ergy Therefore she lunged at me with all her force and skill, ami 1 felt once, as the | stint of her foil glided down mine, • hat thought the feather was there; the button at the end wa* goife. ‘The button of your foil is off. made moiselle.’ ‘f know it, monsieur; 1 have taken it oft N ow, monsieur, y<»u shall be mar ried in a month, but hot us you Are.— It is yoiir fair lalse tace she loves; but U shall not l.e fair; she shull find murks on it that will change it ! It shall not be the face I know so well that shull be hers to earessj No, Nt>.’ ‘Blit, Julies—’ ‘Be guarded, monsieur* this foil has no button. I doubt if you shall live a month.’ And she attacked rtie wi h a fury that made me need every artifice she had taiighi rtie to ward oft her thrusts. At last it came carte over the arm i I par red badly and the pointed blade ripped up my arm from wrist to shouh'fer. Tue moment she saw the blood, she threw away the 1011, and rushed towards the. I sank on to the eon h fainting from h»ss .-f blood, with just strengtfi enough left to say break « ff the potnt, Julie, dear,’ and then swrooned. V\ hen I came to, my arm was bound up, and I beard her sub as I lay with my mind awake but my body ino.ioti less: ‘Oh, my Arthur! my love! I have killed yon t I have k‘l.ed you, for whom 1 would have died I Oh, w-retch that 1 am; he will die—he will die I’ Sue laid her face on my ami shook me with her sobs. ‘Don't cry. Jnlie, d<>uY cry; it tfctfs an accident, l know, and— ’ ‘No—you will live--you must live to forgive ine It was not an accident— l meant to kill you, wretch that I am !’ 1 could nnlv say ; *Don’t Cry J ulie, dear. What do they say ? Where is the point ? Give it me.’ She gave me the broken off part of the foil 1 saw it had been rubbed on some stohe till it was as a needle. When M. de B<mheur returned, he brought with him his visitor, who by good fortune happened to be an old comrade of hip. '. 'Well, are you better now ? How 3id it happen ?’ ‘The p lit of the foil broke off, ami the e*lge, took me on tbe Wist as I lunged.’ ‘Bah !—Julie, yon muni have gnar ded very badly to do that. Where is the foil ? Yes; I see the point is broken off. Where is the point ?’ ‘lt must be about the r< on.’ The visitor looked at Julie, nftd Sai l 5 ‘lt does not mattet ; it can be found by and by, when this gentleman has gone. He will be str-nig enough in an hour to go—meanwhile, let him r<st a little; Julfe take care of him.’ Ah, Julie, bat it was an awkward guard of yours, ami Hie bid, too must have been b id; I shall buve to coin plain to the maker.’ Poor Julie*at by ifte, quite penitent and quite forgiven, Tor aft IVo'ur or more, and wfien we heurd them coming, I turned to her and said • ‘1 quite forgive you, Julie, dear; you must 1 >ve me still like u brother a* 1 shall love you like a sister. And then well there’s no harm in these things between brothers and sisters—and then 1 went home, rather faint and weak, to explain matter*, and meet my destiny. As for Julie, the family property ot the de Jonlieu.s was re-t 'red o ti e old gentleman some months afterwards, an I they quilted England; s<niu after which I reee.ven from the Marquise de Cha rcot 011 a letter which I at once burned, beginning, 'My dear brother,* and end ing-, ‘Your most affectionate sister, Ju tiV u Among the treasures of llie pa*t w hich I like others, keep so carefully and secretly, there is a packet that con tain* six inches <*fst«*el. and on it is en graved but one word—*Julie.’ A BiArmuL Figure.—Life i* like a fonnta n fed by a thousand stream* that |iertsti’ts< if one tie dftfeu. It is a silver <0 and twisted with a thousand strings, that parts asunder if one be broken.— Thoughtless mortals are strtTOuiftde'd by innumerable dangers which make it much niurt strange that they almost all perish suddenly at last. We are encom passed with accidents every day suffi cient to crush the decaying tenements we inhabit. The seeds of dis-asi- are planted in onr constitution by Nature The earth and the atmosphere whence we draw the breath of life are impreg lialed with death; health is made to operate its own destruction The food that nourishes contains the elements of decay; the soul that animate* it by vivifying first tends to wear it out by then own action; death links in um bush along the paths. Nothwithstand ing the truth is so probably confirmed by the daily example be ore our eves, how little do we lay it to heart! We see our friends and neighbors die; but how seldom does it occur to our thoughts that our knell may next give the warn ing to the world. How to Eat and Dki'K—A rerent contributor to the llera and of .Health consider* lh« practice of drinking du ring meals an injurious one, and argues his cause thus ; WlnVVo'r Contrary to his usual cus tom, will down his glass a* the be ginning of his meftl, and not make use ot it till the close, may perceive that a great many consequences fl »w from so simple an action, in the first place, the only aid to mastication and deglutition, apart froth the teeth and tongue, will be the saliva, of which, from lohg dlsiise. there probably will not be the desired abundance. The time occupied in disposing of a mouthful of food will thus lie prolong ed, and the character of the food makes a greater impression on the pftlatu.— The stomach will hot be treated to a cataract of half drowned morsels, but at proper intervals to well prepared ina tenant for digestion. Then; will be no haste, no bolting; the tendency to stuff and overload ttie Stout tCh will be efi-ek ed or fairly ovOnihm;; at least there will lie leisure to consider whether one is eating too much.
