TAKEN AT HIS WORD.
Nellie Palmer was lying on the lounge
in her pretty bed room, crying and look
ing very unhappy. And yet she had
been married only six months,and to such
a ‘‘nice,handsome man,” as all the young
ladies declared, that surely she oujht to
have been happy with him. And so she
had been until—until, to tell the truth
—Mr. Bob Palmer, forgetting, or seem
ing to forget that he was a married man,
had recently taken to flirting with these
very young ladies at all the fairs and
parties of Middleton, leaving his wife
to take care of" herself. Surely it was
enough to make any six months’ wife
cry —especially one so sensitive as Nel
lie.
Not that Mr. Robert Palmer loved
his little wife a bit less than on the day
of his marriage—neither that Nellie
Suspected him of it, or for a moment
doubted his morals, any more than she
did his constancy. But Mr. Palmer was
a gay young man, and loved to amuse
himself and be amused. He liked the
society of pretty and lively women,both
married and single, and saw no harm in
it. So, while he hung over the young
ladies’ chairs, laughing and paying gay
compliments, or promenaded the halls
and piazzas with the young married la
dies, his wife would be looking over a
photograph album, or conversing solemn
ly with some old gentleman, or noticing
some shy and awkward child, while pre
tending to be unconscious of lier hus
band’s proceedings. No.t that she was
compelled to employ herself in this dull
way —she, usually so bright pretty and
agreeable —but she had no heart for
anything else now. Os late all her live
liness and chat.tiness had left her; and
she answered absently, and smiled list
lessly, and if compelled to dance or sing,
did so out of time and tune, to her hus
bands great vexation.
It is thus that many a young wife
settles down into a dull and faded old
woman, whilst her husband grows hand
somer and heartier, and wonders what
on earth could have so changed her.
“ Hallo ! been crying again, I dc
clar 1” exclaimed Mr. Bob Palmer,sud
denly ceasing his little whistle, as he en
tered the room, on returning from his
office. “What’s the trouble now, Nel
lie? Canary refused to sing, or Madame
Viglini not put flowers enough on your
new bonnet ?”
“Oh, Bob, how can you?” sobbed
poor Nellie, beginnig afresh.
“ I,ook here. Ellen, sitting down an
the lounge, and speaking more seriously :
I don’t like this at all. I never come
home that your eyc3 are not red and
swollen with crying. What have you
to cry about, I should like to know ?
It’s an insult to me to go sniveling
about the house after this fashion, and
moping away in corners, looking sullen
and miserable, as you did last night, at
.Mrs. McLin’s. Why, peeple will think
me a perfect domestic tyrant.”
“Ah, Bob, don’t speak so. I can’t
help it, indeed. Ido feel so miserable.
You make uie so, Bob.”
“77 Well, that is rich! Perhaps you
will-be good enough to let me know of
what enormity I’ve been guilty, that has
turned you iuto a modern Niobe?”
“Nothing really wrong, dear; butch,
if you ki.ew how much a wife thinks of
her husband’s love, and—” here poor
Nellie broke down again. Mr. Palmer’s
eyes opened very wide.
“ Whew !” whistled he, “if this isn’t
really absurd. So she’s jealous !”
“ Indeed no, dear Bob, but— but —”
she could hardly speak for the choking
'in her throat —“you can’t understand
the pride a woman takes in having her
husband trust her with affection and re
spect before every one, or how it hum
bles and mortifies her to be neglected by
him, and have other women consider
themselves her rivals —like Isabel Va
don.”
Mr. Bob Palmer laughed outright,
and then he grew angry.
“ You’re an absurb little fool, Nellie,”
he said. “As if Isabel Yaden were
auything to me beyond a lively and agree
able your g woman to amuse one’s self
with at a party. Nonsense !”
“She don’t think so,” said Nellie ;
“and—and the others don’t thiuk so.
They all think you are getting tired of
your wife, and Isabel flatters herself that
she has cut me out, and is trying to let
people see it.”
“ Fiddlesticks !” said Bob, rising im
patiently from the louuge. “ I’m as
tonished at you, Nellie, and had really
given you credit for more sense, as well
as temper,” he added, more severely. “1
wish you’d amuse yourself in society, as
I do, instead of going moping about in
this fashion. ou can t expect to have
me tied to your apron strings; and Id
much rather see you flirting, yourself,
than skulking away in holes and corners,
like a spider, watching your butterfly
of a husband, to see if you can t detect
him in doing wrong. You make me
quite ashamed of you, I declare.
Mr. Palmer took his hat and walked
out of the room, with an air of mingled
dignity and injured innocence. His
wife sat up, wiped away her tears, and
mused awhile with eyes flashing and
cheeks flushed with wounded and mdig
nant feeling. . ,
‘•Yes/’ she said to herself, ‘since he
has requested it, I will amuse myself‘as
he does,’ and see how he likes it. -
Ashamed of me, is he l lie did not use
to be so when 1 was gay and happy.
Oh, Bob, if you only knew how 1 love
you !” And once more, despite her reso
lutely closing her eyes, and pressing her
finders upon them, theteurs would come.
There was to be that ve y evening a
party at Colonel Johnsons, and i

careless on this point, and was now re
warded for her extra care by her hus
band’s glance of approval, and his re
mark that the pink silk whs very becom
ing to her. In consequence her eyes
and cheeks were brighter, and her spirits
more buoyant, as she entered Mrs.
Johnston’s crowded drawing rooms.—
Scarcely had they paid their respects to
the hostess, when Mr. Palmer accosted
or was rather accosted by Miss Vaden,
a brilliant, confident girl, who had tried
to ensnare him before his marriage ; and
at the same moment a gentleman ad
dressed 31 rs. Palmer. She answered
mechanically, unable to withdraw her
attention entirely from her husband and
his companion, until seeing somethin"
in 3liss Vaden’s glance at herself which
she did not like, her pride again awoke,
and she turned, as with a sudden deter
ruination, to the gentleman at her side.
He was a recent comer to the town—
very pleasant and handsome—and Nel
lie Palmer forthwith began to make her
self agreeable to him. lie looked so
pleased, and was himself so agreeable,
that it soon cost her no effort to converse;
and then her old lively spirits returned,
and to her own surprise she found that
she was enjoying herself.
Her husband didn’t notice this, but
Miss Yaden did; and her flirtation with
Mr. Pal mer lost much of its charm, now
that his wife did not appear mortified
and jealous, and that people couldn’t see
she was so. Wherefore Miss Yaden
grew indifferent, and Mr. Palmer be
thought himself to fook after his wife.
Not finding her looking over photograph
albums, nor talking to deaf old Mr.
Brown, neither in any of the “ holes
and corners ” she was wont of late to
frequent, he became rather puzzled.
“ She’s got in the dumps again, I sup
pose,” lie thought, “and is trying to dis
guise it under pretense of being sics.—
Dare say I shall find her crying in the
ladies’ dressing room, or fainting away
in the conservatory, with lans and
smelling bottles round her—or perhaps
she’s gone home ”
At that very instant a little laugh at
his elbow startled him, and turning, he
saw Nellie, bright and flushed, talking
to a very handsome man, who appeared
quite absorbed in her 31 r. Palmer
stared a moment at the unconscious cou
“ Why, the deuce !’’ was his thought;
what on earth can they have been talk
ing about all this while ?” Then sud
denly meeting his wife’s eyes,.he smiled,
aiv >1 w kL.,>ev<:d :
“ Enjoying yourself, Nell ?”
“ Oh, yes dear, delightfully. Don’t
trouble yourself about me, pray.’’
lie passed on, but didn’t go far; and
as he stood whispering soft nothings to
sentimental Kate Marshall, kis eyes oc
casionally wandered to his wife. How
pretty she was looking; and how gay
she was; and how coquettishly sli.e was
exchanging light repartee with that
flirting fellow, Tom Harrison. And
all the while the handsome ’stranger
never left her side. “If she were not
a married woman he would certainly
fall in love with her —she —my wife ;”
and he felt a little resentful,of the ad
miration.
Nellie Palmer had never sung move
sweetly or danced more gracefully than
upon this evening.
“ Don’t you think, Nell, you’ve danced
enough for one night ?” said her hus
band, toward the close of the evening;
“ for ji married icoman ?” he added.
“ Perhaps so,” she answered cheerful
ly, “but I’ve enjoyed myself so much !
Really, I almost forgot that I am a
married woman, and felt like a girl again.”
“ And behaved like one,” he said,
rather coolly. “ Who is that fellow that
has been in attendance upon you all the
evening?” he inquired, as they walked
toward the dressing room.
“ That remarkably handsome man,
with the expressive dark eyes, do you
mean ?”
“ I never noticed his eyes, or that he
was at all remarkably handsome,” he
answerd, stiffly.
“ Oh, I thought you meant Captain
Lovel, of the Fourth Artillery. Ah !
here he is—just one moment, dear —I
quite forgot —” And Nellie spoke a
few words to the captain in passing, of
which her husbaud could distinguish
only something about “ that book.”
“ Upon my word,” he said, sarcastical
ly, “you appear very intimate already ”
“ Because, love, we’ve discovered that
we’re congenial spirits. We like the
same things —books, music, RtfenerV ;
indeed, everything —and have the same
opinions on most subjects. lou know
how pleasant it is to meet with one who
can comprehend you— not your outer self
merely, but with a sort of soul sympa
thy.”*
“ Soul fiddlesticks !”
« You never did have much sentiment,
Bob,” sighed Nellie, in an injured tone.
“Sentmieut be hanged. Come, Nel
lie, be quick with your wrappings. It
has been a stupid evening, and I shall be
"lad to get home and to bed.”
When Mr. Robert Palmer came home
next day, he found his wife, not crying
in her bedroom, but in the parlor prac
ticing a new.song.
“Captain Lovel called this morning.”
she said ; “and I have promised to sing
this for him at Mrs. Campbell’s.”
“Ah!” he answered, with an expres
sion of supreme indifference ; an,d as los
wife ag in struck up with the first notes,
he muttered to himselfo^'qUuuiottiid
Captain Lovel !” _ .
At Mrs Campbell’s Captain Lotei
was again in attendance upon pretty
! Mrs. Palmer; and then other gentlemen
1 discovered her attractions—her piquan
! C y, and coquettish ness, and JUrtabkness)
1 and so in a very few weeks, Mrs. Palmer
was a belle. Bbe did not seem in the
1 least to care who her husband was at
-1 tending upon, and indeed he could very
rarely get a word with her at all, when
at the gay assemblies which they con
| stantly frequented. lie sometimes gave
her a hint that she was “ no girl ” and
that he was her husband; but she only
laughed, and said that there was no
harm done, and that she was enjoying
herself so delightfully, and felt herself
more a belle than ever when a girl—
which was true,because she had not flirted
i then, being absorbed heart and soul in
Bob Palmer. But now it Was Captain
JLiovel who appeared chiefly to occupy
her thoughts, as well as a good part of'
her time. Bhe sang and danced with
him ; she read ihe books he sent; and j
so frequent were his visits, so constant
his attentions, that at last Mr. Robert
Palmer’s wrath burst forth.
“ Ellen,” he said, as the door closed
on the departing captain and his im
posing uniform. “ I really cannut'per
mit this to go on any longer. Your
conduct is to me most unexpected—most
astounding. You are by far too intimate
with this fellow, Lovel. He is constantly
in my house, and last evening he scarce
ly left your side, while you stood for two
hours the center of a group of chatting,
grinning poppinjays, like himself.”
“Why, Bob, you yourself blamed me
for playing wallflower and spider, and
said you were ashamed of me.”
“I aai much more ashamed of you
now,” he retorted severely.
“ Now, dear, this is quite unreasona
of you. Didn’t you tell me that I would
please you by enjoying myself, and flirt
ing a little? You kow you did,” added
Nellie, reproachfully, “ and now that I
am obeying yort, you get jealous.”
“Jealous? not I. But lam offended
and insulted —yes, and disgusted as well.
If only you could hear the remarks
about yoursely and that Lovel ”
“Similar to those I heard in regard
to yourself and 3iiss Yaden, I presume,”
said his wife.
“What is Miss Yaden to me?” he de
manded angi ily.
“And what is Captain Lovel to me ?”
“ You encourage him, madam; you
flirt with him.”
“As you did with Isabel Yaden.”
“A man may do what is not permTsa
bler in a woman"
“Ah, that is ,tt,” said Nellie, with
her old sigh. “You men may neglect a
wife —may vvear out her life with an
guish ; may expose 'her to the pity or
ridicule of ai! her acquaintance by ghow
iug cl. trio'u to vtnatier--and 'oho, pour
slave, must not presume to turn, as may
even the trampled worm, but must bear
all in meek silence, uevef even imploring
for mercy, lest she should offend her
lord, lint i have had enough of this,
Bob ; and now as you do to me will I do
to you If you will go on flirting,so will
I. I know you don’t care a bit more for
Isabel Yaden than I do for Capt. Lovel,
but I will not be neglected and humbled
in sight of the whole world. lam not
a slave bat a wife, and demand the hon
or due to me.”
Iler mood was anew one to her hus
band. She sat erect and proud, look
ing him steadily in the face with bright,
clear eyes, in whose depths he could
still read a great tenderness; and he at
once contemplated the whole matter. —
He looked at her a moment, as steadily
she at him, and then he rose and took a
seat by her side.
“And you really care nothing for this
Lovel, Nellie?”
“No more than I ought to,do for my
cousin Laura’s affianced husband,” she
replied.
“ Affianced ?”
“ This six months—before I met him;
and I would have told you of it but—”
* She st epped and looked half archly
in his face. lie understood her, and
taking her in his arms, kissed her ten
derly.
“ Oh, Bob, how could you ever have
doubted me ?”
“ I will do so no more, love ?”
“Neverflirt any more ?”
“ Never !”
And he kept his word.

Let the Children Alone.
Let your children alone when they
gather around the iamily table. It is a
cruelty to hamper them with manifold
rules and regulations about this and
that, and the other. As long as their
conduct is harmless to others encourage
them in their cheerfulness. If they do
! smack their lips, and their suppings of
' milk and other drinks eati be heard
across the street; it does not hurt the
street; let them alune. N\ hat if they
do take their soup with the wrong end
of the spoon, it is all the same to the
spoon ; let them alone.
Suppose a child does not sit as straight
as a ramrod at the table ; suppose a cup
j or tumbler slips through its little fingers
and dtluges the plate of food below,and
the goblet is smashed, and the table
cloth is ruined; do not look a thousand
scowls and thunders, and scare the poor
1 thing to the balance of its death, for it
was scared half to death before t “it
didn t go to do it.”
i ‘ Did you never let a glass slip through
; your fingers since you were grown ? in
stead of seuding the child away from
j the table, if not even with a threat, for
this or any other little nothing, be as
gen :i'ous as yuu would to an equal or
superior guest, to whom you'would -ay,
with a more or less tJjseqiMotis smile :
j “ It is of n«> possible consequence.”
1 That would be the form cf expression
even to a stranger guest, and yet to your
! uW n child you remorselessly and re
vengefully. and angrily mete out a swift
punishment, which for the time almost
breaks it little heart, and belittles you
amazingly.” .
The proper and more eiiicmnt auu
; Christian method of meeting the mis
j haps and delinquencies and impropri#-
| ties of jour children at table, is either
! to take no notice of them at the time.or
to go further and divert attention from
them, at the very instant, if possible, or
make a kind of ap ’logy for them; but
' afterwards, in an hour or two, or better
| Swill, the next day, draw the child's at
tention to the fault, if fault it was, in 1i
j friendly and loving manner ; point out
; the impropriety in some kindly way ;
show where it was wrong or rude, and
appeal to the child’s self-respect or man
liness. This is the best way to correct
i all family errors. Sometimes it may nut
, succeed; sometimes harsh measures may
be required, but try the deprecating or
the kindly method with p rl'cct cqua
nimity of mind, and failure will be of
rare occurrence.
The Narrow Gauge Hallway—By
Col. E. If ulbort.
NUMBER 2.
Editors Constdial ion : 2d. The cum
purative cost of operating the two
gauges;
We will now consider the cost of op
erating the narrow as compared with
the wide gauge. In examining this
question we shall first show the differ
ence ia the weight of the rolling stock
and machinery of the two gauges, and
then trace the effects produced in each,
case to a final result. The f blowing
tables show the proportions of paying
and dead weight in cars of the two
gauges :

An examination of these tables dem
onstrates the superior economy of work-
which is claimed for the narrow
O
gauge.
It is seen that when the ears of the
two systems are loaded to their full ca
pacity, the wide gauge passenger car
carries GO7 pounds dead weight per pas
senger, while the narrow gauge passen
ger car carries only 294 pounds
dead weight to one ton, or 2,000 pounds
of paying freight.
To show more clearly' that in trans
porting less quantities than full car
loads, the narrow gauge still has the
advantage, please note the following ta
ble. The table shows the amount «f
dead weight, in pounds, by the two sys
terns, when the shipment is not an even
car load. The figures in the heading
show the amount of supposed shipment
to a way station :
Gange No. cars 1 3 5 7 9 11

3 feet 1 3,500 1,509 900
2 1,285 1,000
3 | 1,227
Thus it is seen that, if it is necessary
tu drop cars with, say six tons of freight,
at a way station, which is one ton over
a load for. the narrow gauge, and which
renders necessary the use of two cars at
the utmost disadvantage —the dead
weight is even then but 1,500 pound
person, as against 3,052 pounds on the
broad gauge.
This table sets forth very plainly an
other important fact, namely ; that the
dead weight carried with a five ton load
in the wide gauge car is 3.700 pounds.
By reference to the previous tabic, it is
seen that the number of pounds, dead
weight, to a tou freight,. from an aver
age of all the New York road, is 3,091
and from the average pf five Massachu
setts roads, is 3,13 G pounds, establish
ing the fact that the average car load of
freight, in actual practice, is about five
tons.
We will now examine this question
in connection with the passenger traffic.
Broad gauge coaches will seat fitly pas
sengers, mid the narrow gauge, thirty
four.
Suppose ,it is necessary to accommo
date forty passengers, too many by six,
k-r.the* small ear, requiring a second car
to be added to the train, while it re
quires but one wide car, the dead weight
. even then is 810 pounds per passvn
ger on the wide, against I*oo pounds p i
passenger on the narrow gauge.
Or, take seventy passengers, requirio
three small cars, or two large, fn
ease the dead weigh.t is 000 pom ds t > r
passenger on the five feet, rind 514
pounds per passenger *»n the three feet
gauge, proving that under any cm u -
stances that can be imagim and. the in
mense economy in t!:c transport.;t on f
non paying load on the narrow gauge.
We find therefore that the br > and
gauge cars in the State of New York
ea.ry an average of five tons or ah av
« of a full load
It i- difficult to iatim.de the p;\ b. hie
number passengers per car. but from'the
railway statistics of ihc State <f New
York, it appears that 2 748 pounds oi
dead weight of pas e iger ears, cxoht
sive of baggage, was moved for each
passenger
It should be borne in mind, that e
proportion of dead weight, to pay; g
weight, is much greater < n Southern,
than on Northern r aids.
The statistics show an average oi
bout thirteen passangers per ear < i
Noathern roads, or about < lie fu;tl.

Thus it is perceived that the enormous
saving in dead weight must effect a 1 rge
saving in favor of the narrow gauge. The
expenditure of power stands in the rela
tion of about 35 to 52 in freights, and
11 to 28 in passenger traffic.
We will conclude the argument upon
th is point in the next number.
My First Experiment. —The fol
lowing is the experience of a mechanic
concerning the benefits of a newspaper :
Ten years ago I lived in a town of
Indiana. On returning home one night.
For I am a carpenter by trade, I saw a
little girl leave my door with a smile that
is encouraging to a man after a hard
day’s labor. I asked my wife who she
was. She said Mrs. K. had sent her
little girl after their newspapers which
she had borrowed. When we sat down
to tea my wife said to me :
“ I wish you would subscribe fur the
newspaper, it is so much comfort to me
when you are away from home ”
My answer was:
“ I would like to do so, but you know
I owe a payment on the house and lot.
It will be all that I can do to meet it.
She said :
“If you will take the paper, I will
sew for the tailor and pay for it ”
I subscribed for the paper : it came
in due time to the shop. While resting
one noon aud looking over it, I saw an
advertisement of the county commission
er to let a bridge that was to be built
I put in a bid for the bridge, and the
job was awarded to me, on which I re
alized three hundred dollars, which en
abled me to pay for my house and lot
easily, and for the newspaper. If I hud
not subscribed for the newspaper I would
not have known anything about the
contract, and could not have met the
payment on my house and lot. A me
chanic never loses anything by taking a
newspaper.

Take the whites of two eggs, and
beat them with two spoonfuls of white
sugar; grate a little nutmeg, and then
add a pint of lukewarm water. Stir
well and drink often. Repeat the pre
scription if necessary, and it will cure
the most obstinate case of hcnvsercss in
a short time.

They are not a vile Fnncj Drink, Made of Poor
Ruin, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse
Liquors doctored, spiced and sweetened to please the
taste,called “Tonics,” “Appetisers,” “ Restorer*,” Jte.,
that lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin, but are
a true Medicine, mode from tho Native Roots and Herbs
of California, froo from all Alcoholic {Stimu
lants. They aro the t.UEAT Dl.OOl) PURI
FIER and A LIFE UIVINU PRINCIPLE,

to a healthy condition. Ko person can tube these Rit
ters accordhtg to directions and remain long unwell,
provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral
poison or other moon*. a»d the vitul organs wasted
beyond the point of repair.
They aro a Gentle Pa rgatlve ns well as a
Touia, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of acting
as a powerful r.gent hi relloving Congestion or Inflam
mation of the Liver, and all tho Visceral Organa.
FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, In younger
old, married or single, nt the dawn of womanhood or at
Uie turn of lHe. these Tonic Dittcrs have no equal.
For liiflauiniatory ntid Chronic Rheuma
tism and Coin, Dyspepsia or ludigestiou.
Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fo
vers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kid
neys nml Bladder, theso Diltera have been most
successful. Such Diseases ore canard by Vitiated
Blood, which is generally produced by derungenieut
of the Digestive Organs.
DYSPEPSIA Olt INDIGESTION. Head
ache, Pain in the Shoulders. Coughs, Tightness of tbs
Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach,
Bad Taste In the Mouth. Bilious Attacks, Palpitatieu of
the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the re
gions of the Rldueys, and a hundred other painful symp
toms, are the oflspringa of Dyspepsia.

Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car
buncles. Ring-Worms, Scald Head, Sore Kyea, Erysipe
las, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin. Humors and
Diseases of the Skin, of whatev-r name or nature, are
literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short
time by the use ot these Bitters. One bottle in such
eases will convince the most Incredulous of their oura
tive effects.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its Im
purities bursting through the skin fn Pimples, Erup
tions or Sores ; cleanse It when you fiud it obstructed
and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it Is foal,
and your feelings will tell you when. Keep the Mood
pure, and the health of the srstem will follow.
Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking fn the
system of so many thousand*, are effectualiy destroyed
and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist,
there is scarcely an individual upon the race of the
earth whose body is exempt from the presence es
worms. It is not upon the healthy elements of the
body that worms exist, but upon the diseased humors
apd slimy deposits that breed these living roonaten of
disease. No System of Medicine, uo vermifuges, bo
anthelmintics will free the system from worms like
these Bitters.
