Maggie started, and glanced has tily from the window; then sat down again in a careless way, re- she did so: ‘•lt’s nobody bat John.” Nobody but John ! And who do you think that nobody was ? Only her husband. Nobody but John. A few momepts afterward John Fairbura came into the room where we were sitting and gave me one of his frank cordial greetings. I had known him years, and ioDg before his marriage. I noticed that he gave an annoyed glance at his wife, but did not speak to her. The meaning of this annoyance and in difference was plain to me ; for John had come of a neat and tidy family. His mother’s house keeping had al ways been notable. She was poor; but as “time and water are to be had for nothing”--this was one of her sayings—she always managed to have things about cleau and or derly. Maggie Lee had a pretty face* bright eyes, and charming little ways that were very taking* with the young men, and so qnite a belle before she got out-of her teens.— She had a knack of fixing her rib bons, or tying her scarf or arrang ing her hair, shawl, or dress in a way to give grace agd. charm to her person. None but her most intD mate frieds knew of the untidiness that pervaded her room and person when at home and away from com mon observation. Poor John Fairborn was taken in when he married Maggie Lee. He thought he was getting the tidiest, neatest, s sreetest and most orderly girl in town, but discovered too soon that he was united to a care less slattern. She would dress for other people’s eye*, because she had a natural love of admiration; but at home and for her husband she put on her old duds, and went look ing often “like the old scratch,” as the saying is. On the particular occasion of which I am speaking—it was after sbo and John had been married over a year—her appearance was almost disgusting. She did not .have on even a morning dress; only a faded and tumbled chintz sack above a soiled skirt— no collar—slippers down at the hoels, and dirty stock ings. Her hairiooked like a hur rah’s nest; if any one knows what this is—l don’t;' but I suppose it is the perfection of disorder. No one could love such a looking crea ture. That was simply impossible. “Nobody but John !” I looked at the bright handsome young man and wondered. He ate his dinner almost in silence, and then went back to his work. I had never seen diim so moody. “What’s come over John? I ask ed, as he went out. “Oh, I don’t know,” his wife an svered. “Something wrong at the shop, I Fuppose. He’s had trouble with one of the men. He is fore man, you know.” “Are you sure it’s only that ?” I asked looking serious. “That or something about his work. There’s nothing else to wor ry him.” I was silent for awhile, debating with myself whether good or harm would come of a little plain talk with John’s wife. She was rather quick temprred, I knew, and easy to take oftence. At last I ventured the remark. * “May be things are not just to his liking at home'.’’ “At home !” Maggie turned on me with a flash of surprise iu her face. “What do you mean?” “Mon Hke beauty, taste and neat ness in their wives as well as in their sweethearts,’ I said. The crimson mounted to her hair. At the same moment I saw her glance at a looking-glass that hung opposite to her on the wall.— She sat very still, yet wWi a start led look in her eyes, until the flush faded away, and her face became almost pale. “Maggie,” said I, rising and drawlhg nfy arm around her, “come up stairs. I have something very serious to say to you.” We walked from the little dining room aud up to her chamber in si lea ce. I then said: “Maggie, I want to tell you about a dear friend of mine who made shipwreck of happiness and life.— It is a sad story, but I am sure it will interest you deeply. She was my cousin; and her name was ” Maggie bent forward, listening attentively. “What?” she asked, as I hesitated on the name. “Helen.” “Not Helen White, who married John Harding and was afterward deserted by her husband?” “Yes, my poor, dear cousin He len. It is .of her I am going to tell you.” • “I never knew why her husbaud went off as he did,” said Maggie.— “Some said he was to blame, and some put all the fault on her. How was it;?’’ ' ; " “Both were to blame; but she most,” I replied. “John Harding, like your husband, was one of the neatest and most orderly of men. Anything untidy in his home, or in the person of his wife, annoyed and often put him out of humor ; but he did not, as he'should have done, speak plainly to his wife and let her see exactly how be felt, and in what he would like a change. If he had done so Helen would have tried— as every good wife should—to con form herself more to his tastes and wishes. But he was a silent moody sort of a man when things did not go'jusf to suit him, and instead of speaking oat plainly, brooded over Helen’s faults, and worried himself into fits of ill-humor. And what was worse than all, grew at length indifferent to his home and wife, and soaght pleasant surroundings and more * attractive company abroad. “Every man thus estranged from bis home is in danger, and Harding w&s no exception to this rule.— Temptation lay about his feet—and that commonest temptation of all an elegantly-fitted up billiard and drinking saloon. “They had been married just about as long as you and John have been when the sad catastrophe of their lives took plaee. I had called to spend the day with Helen, and found her in her usual condition of personal untidiness and disorder.— When her husband came homo to dinner, I noticed with painful eon cern that he had been drinking— not very freely, but j ust enough to show itself in captious ill-humor.— Helen had not dressed for dinner but presented herself at the table without even a clean collar, ar.d with anpld faded shawl drawn about her shoulders. She looked any thing but attractive. “I saw her husband’s eyes glance toward her across the table with an expression that chilled me. It was a hard, angry, determined expres sion. He was scarcely civil to me and snapped his wife sharply two or three times dining the meal. At its close, he left the room without a word, and went op Stairs. “What’s the matter with John ?" I asked. “Dear above knows !” replied Hel len. “He’s been acting queer for a good while. I can’t imagine what’s come over him. “Does ho come in this way often ?” I asked. “Yes, he’s moody and disagreea ble most of the time. I’m getting dreadfully ivorried about it.” “As we talked we heard John moving about with heavy footfalls in the rooms above Presently he came down, and stood for a little while in the hall at the foot of the stairs as if in hesitation. Then he went to the street dooiy passed out, and shut it hard after him. “Helen caught her breath with a start, and turned a little pale.” “What’s the matter ?” I asked, seeing the strangeness of her look. .“I don’t know;” she replied with a choking voice, laying her hand at the same time pn her breast, “hut I feel as if something dreadful were going to happen.” “She got up from tho table, and I drew my arm around her. I too felt a sudden depression of spirits. We went slowly up to her chamber, wheie we spent the afternoon; and I then took upon myself the office of a triend, and talked seriously to my cousin about her neglect of per sonal neatness, hinting that her hus band’s estrangement front his home, and altered manner toward herself, might all spring from that cause:— She was a little angry with’ me at first, but I pressed the subject home with a tender seriousness that did the work of conviction; and as evening drew on, she dressed with care and neatness. With a fresh ribbon tied her in hair, and color a little raised by mental excitement, she looked charming and lovable.— I waited with interest to see what impression she would have made on her husband. He could not help being charmed back into the lover, I was sure. But he did not come to tea. We waited for him a whole hour after the usual time, and then sat down to the table alone; but neither of us could do more than sip a little tea.” “I went home, soon after, with, a pressure of concern at my heart, for which I could not account. All night I dreamed uncomfortable dreams. In the morning, soon af ter breakfast, I ran over to see Hel en. I found her in her room, sit ting in her night-dress, the picture of despair. “What is it?” tasked eagerly.— “What has happened ?” She looked at me heavily, like one not yet re covered from the Bhock of a stun ning blow. '' “Dear cousin ! what is the mat ter ?” I said. “I now saw, by a motion of her hand, that it held, tightly clutched, a piece of paper. She reached it to me. It was a letter, and read : “We cannot live happily together, Helen. You are not what I believ ed myself getting when we were married—not the sweet lovely girl that charmed rfty fancy and won me from all others. Alas for us both that it is s^! There has been a shipwreck of two lives. Farewell! I shall never return.” - “And this was aU; but it brake the heart of my poor cousin. Tp this day, though ucarjy thra* 3 years have passed," she has heard from her husband.’ *-,# “I saw her last week in the coun try home to which aha has been ta ken by her friends—a wreck both in mind and body. She was sitting in an upper room, from the window of which could be seen a beautiful landscape. She was neatly attired, and a locket, containing her hus band’s picture, hung at her throat. Her head was drooped, and her eyes upon the floor, when I entered; but she raised her ayes quickly and with a kind of start. I saw a mo mentary eager flush in her face, dy ing out quickly, and leaving it inex pressibly sad. “I thought it was ,John,” ®h e said, mournfully. “Why don’t he come ?” I had to stop her ? for Maggie broke out suddenly into a wild fit ot sobbing and crying, which lasted for nearly a minute. “Whai ails you, dear ?” I asked, as she began to be a little composed. “Qh! you have frightened me so. If John should—” She oat short the sentence, but her frightened face left me in no doubt as to what was in her thoughts. She arose and walked about the room in an uncertain way for some momets and then sat down again, drawing in her breath heavily. “If young Wives,” I remarked believing that in her present state the truth- was the best thing to say ■—“would take half the pains in making- themselves personally at tractive to their husbands, that they did to charm their lovers, more of them would find the love continued in the husband. Is a man, think you, less admirer of womanly gvaee and beauty after he becomes a has band than he was before?” “Hush! hush !” she sa ' ( T * n choking voice. “I see it all I I com prehend it all.”' And she glanced down *at herself. “I look hateful and disgusting ” After a plain, earnest talk with Maggie, I went home. I give her own words as to whathappened af terward. “ I was wretched all the after noon’. John had acted worse than usual at dinner time; and what you told me about poor Helen set my fears in motion and worried me half to death. Long before the time he usually came home, I dressed my self with care, selecting the things I had heard him admire. As I look ed at myself in the glass, I saw that I was attractive ; I felt as I had nev er felt before, that there was a pow er in dress that no .woman can dis regard without loss of influence, no mattei* what her position or sphere of life. “Supper-time came, I had made something that I knew John hked, and was waiting for him with a nervous earnestness it was impossi ble to repress. But the hour pass ed, and his well known tread along the little garden walk did not reach my anxious ears. Five, ten, twen ty minutes beyond his honr for re turning, and still I was alone. Oh ! I shiver as I recall the wild fears that began to crowd upon me. I was standing at the window, behind the curtain, waiting and watching. AH at once I saw him a little dis tance from the house, but notin the direction from which he usually qame. He was walking slowly, and with his eyes upon the ground ; his wholo manner was that- of one de pressed or suffering- I dropped the curtain, and went back into our lit tle breakfast room to sec that sup per was put quickly on the table.-r- Jolin came tn, andi went up stairs, as he usually did, to change his coat before tea. In a few minutes I rang the tea bell, and then seated myself at the table to ; wait for him. Be was longer than usual in making himself ready, ucd then I heard him coming down slow ly. and heav ily, as if there was no spirit in him. “My heart beat strongly, but I tried to look bright and smiling. Tli ere was, oh ! «o dreary a look on John’s face as I first saw it in the door.

Report of Lieutenant Payer of the German Expedition—The Best Route to the North Pole. Tho Geographical and Statistical Society of Frankfort on-the-Main has received a report from Lieuten ant J’ulius Payer* one of the two leaders of ihe German expedition to the North Pole. It is dated “Octo ber 0, from the Norwegian coast, on board the-ship Harald Raarfage,” and prevents some new facts of very great interest. After some introductory remarks, the report goes oi> to saj”: * The preliminary expedition for the exploration of the sea between {Spitsbergen and Nova Zerabla, which is to bo followed next year by an expedition of greater magni tude, has achieved a very unexpect ed result, one which is opposed to all previous calculations. The rea son why the principal object of the expedition, viz: The exploration of King Karl’s Land —has not and could not be consistently carried out, will be explained to yon by na vai;Lientenant Weyprecht personally As an offset against this failure, there appears, however, the discov ery of an extensive open polar sea ia place of ’the unknown waters which were formerly considered un .navigable. . Tho' Russians, the Swedes, and even tho German ex pedition of 1868, vainly attempted to penetrate even as far as the southern part of the polar sea. But the result.now obtained is calcula ted to give a different tufn to liter whole polar question, and to create anew basis for the exploration of the North Pole. WHY TIIE FORMER GERMAN EXPEDI TION FAILED.. It is.very much to bo regretted that the great German North Polar expedition of lSfiO-JO did not take this route through, the sea of Nova Zcmbla, as it was original ly pointed out by Dr. Peter mann, who doelared it to be the best route for penetrating into the heart ot the Polar basin.- In spite of the fact that the high est authorities have hitherto decid edly opposed ' every route • east of Spitzbergen, and the numerous Rus-' sian expeditions during the present century have not even been able to sail round the northern part of No va Zembla, and although the Nor wegian, Johanneson, last yCar, close to the coast of the double island to the Sea of Kara, to the Sea of Ba reetz, was considered an extraordi nary and doubtful event, in spite of these facts to the contrary, our ex perience has proved tho existence of an extensive open sea north of Nova Zembla. The Sea of Kara has been explor ed by the. navigators Simonson and. Nattisen, and others, and re ported to be almost completely free , from ice. Sitnonsen has not found any ice even around the Wh^ e s ' land. On the tiie strength of these explorations, the connection of the open sea of *Nova Zembla with the waters of the north of Siberia may be -considered an established fact. With this discovery vanishes an immense territory of ice from our maps. The year 1871 will undoubt edly be represented as very favora-. ble to the ice navigation, although “ unfavorable ” years have often been spoken of without cairw or proof. But the walrus hu»«ot's of Noringla are uuanimons ir regard ing last summer as the vvivst season ever experienced. Eve*, the steam er Germania of the frerman expe dition, has not in pene trating into the S<ta of Kara. In Norway the fact Aat sailing vessels things I si look saw that have achieved higher results than steamships is attributed to the faulty construction of the Germania as a sailing vessel as well as a.steamer, and it is, therefore, '■* matter of great importance to subject this vCs sel to an impartial examination. The uksui.t of viie polar expedi , ; TION. The (Wslion now arises, how' came tb?result of the present polar vovap? to be so essentially different fror> - all that had hitherto been ex ' n-vie need ? We are as far from jfte presumption to believe that we ‘baveacted with more energy and res olution than our predecessors, as from placing Onr little enterprise on a degree with the large expeditions that went before ns. The key of the riddle is simply this.: that near ly all expeditious have “entered and left these waters too early in the season. The best and only period for navigation is the autumn. An other reason for the ill success of all these expeditions was that they kept too - neat the coast of Nova Zembla or Spitzbergen, as it now appears to penetrate north forty to forty-five degrees lmgitude is the most suitable part of the sea of Nova Zembla. We reached seven tyninc northern latitude almost without any difficulty, audit w*s only the want of provisions that prevented us from going 7unhcr north. The probable cao*f of this favor able state of tb*' ice in the sew of Nova Zempte in the autumn ap pears to.be the Gulf Stream. From the perfection and comparison of all Previous observations this cannot, however, be said as certain, but only as provide, in favor of our opin ion we may mention the fact that in this higli feititude .*he tempera ture of the -winter ia September is tfcffec to five degr.es '.rigber than that Os the fall; s»fo the frequen cy of-the foi*T the stream to the northeast, to the coast of Nova NO. 52 Zemble, tile of the Gulf Stream, fttjc blue color ordinary number of sraalrv extra- Iu flie beginning of September’'la. Gulf stream seems to leave* the coast of Nova Zembla, and to ap pear further west, of perhaps ex tend itself over a muck larger spaoe. This stream of warm \vater is not equally deep, and loses power as it extends further north, One of the most note-wortv facts is the large number of whales in the sea of No va Zembla. The scientifiio experi ments made during our voyages consisted in observations of rise temperature of the surface of the water, in regular meteorological re searches at different depths, in geo logical examinations of col lection# of istones and plants, &o, Keep Out oi Debt. Half the perplexity, annoyance, and trouble that men have world is in consequence of getting into debt. It seems to be Datura} for some people to buy and incu t obligations without measure, ao long as they can avo'd paying ready cash. Give one of this sort a chance to buy on credit, and the questions of price and conditions of payment are matters that he cares but littlo about But what a crop of trouble springs up from the seed of debt. How many sleep, less nights result from it? llow many’gray hairs it brings, and hew often it shortens life—sometimes leading men to commit suicide or murder. , And yet, how easy a thing .it is to keep clear of this terrible monster. Every young man should form a fixed and unalterable deter mination, before commencing his active business career, not to incur one penny of indebtedness under any circumstances. Never borrow. Never buy anything unless yp» have the money to pay for it at once. Pay no attention to “splen did opportunities,” “bargains,” “rare chances,” and the like. Such affairs are only the traps which debt sets to catch victims. If you see anything that you would like to buy, or if any offer is made that you would like to accept, look, first, st your money-pile, and make the an swer depend upon that. Always pay as yon go. If you are short ©f money, yon guage your demands accordingly. Foster habits of econ omy, live within your means, buy notliing that you cannot properly af ford, and you will go on through fife free from the miseries and troub les that ever beset the 'path of the debtor. ’ / Pitre Walter, §4 The value of pure watcrAj* ®k®* itary agent, cannot be w,w?er-es* timated.
