I.aL- KJnrTortr the care-worn, thread-bare woman, and she breathed in the fresh air rrreedilv . .. j as she edged her way meekly amid her , scornful sisterhood. Suddenly she caus- od in iront or a iruit stand, the tromcal gleam of golden oranres reminded her of the little white face, that was wasting a way on the lonely pillow at home, and she fingered her worn purse longingly. "Have you any one-ceut oranges, sir?" "We don't deal in one-cent customers better go about your business, woman," said the man contemptuously. "Oh, the heart sickness of poverty !" She had proceeded but a few steps be fore she stopped, involuntarily before a display of cut flowers. It was not the dazzling camelias nor the imperial pink azaleas that attracted her eye ; it was the knot of wild violets blue and dewy, like those that grew unujr the old apple tree at home, when she was a girl. How lit tle pining Willie's eyes would sparkle at the sight of those blue violets ? . "How much are these violets V She asked with a stremblinjr eairerness. "A shilling," said the dealer shortly ; he did not believe the faded looking wo man would be a customer, and was vexed at being interrupted in eulogizing to a splendily dressed lady some rare hot-house blossoms. She turned away with a weary sigh, but the lady had noticed her wan face with pitying kindness. "Give me the wild flowers." said she : and then touchiug the woman's shoulder, she added, '"Take these violets you seem to wish for them so much !" The plae face lighted up.' Ah, it was worth a shilling to call forth such a smile! "Thank you, lady, it was for my little boy ; he is dying !" Dying it was a strange fancy to the jewe'ed child of luxury. She could not imagine it in all the glow of sunshine and vitality that surrounded her, and yet it struck a warning chill to her heart. Dying ! to think that people could die I t:Ob, mother they are so beautiful. Put thcai where I can look at them all the time they make me think of lovely Greenwood." And then midnight came, the little child set out on his far journey to the many mansions of his Father's house, smiling upon the violets with his last earthly glance. The broken-hearted moth er could shpud him in no glistening satin or costly lace ; but when the little pine coffin came, she sprinkled the blue eyed fragrant blosspms upon his breast and so laid him down to his everlasting slum bers. Did the Recording Angel write down no history of that brief incident in his book of light ! Ah, the day will come when riches are no longer ofanv avail, and that one deed of kindness will be more precious to the daughter of wealth than all Galconda's diamonds. He needs no more weary watching now, that sick and suffering child ; he is gath ering the violets that grow along the riv ers of Paradise. Life Illustrated. Coal. coal was first Anthractie used in this country in tne Wyoming valley by two Connecticut blacksmiths, in 170S-G9, but it was not till 1S08 that it was .used for domestic purposes in the common grate. Iu that year Judge Fell, of Wilke.barrc, recorded the fact he had made the experiment of hurtling the com men Move coal of the valley in a common fire place and found it answering all the purposes of fuel. "If there, is any thing I hate, it is a woman with a lap dog! I always want to drown it and put a baby in its place," says cruel Fanny Fern forgetting that too often the hp dog owners lcel the same way but take the dog because they can't get the baby. Should'nt be so hard on the sex, Fanney, because you've done a little something for your country. Bos ton Post. Too Late. A young lady stepped hito the store of a merchaut by the uamo of Wade, and very iunoccntly said she would like to be weighed (Wade.) "Really, I am very sorry," said he, "but my wife will tell you that you are too lato by a couple of years." : e 4- . . A horticulturist advertised that he would supply all sorts cf fruit trees and plants, especially pie-plants of ell kinds. A gentleman thereupon sent him an or der for ouo package of custard-pie seed, and dozen miucc-pie plants. - Sambo was hacking away at a tough oak, when lightning struck a tree uear by him, and shivered it. "Urn," said he. "Ijes like to bcq urn try dis once. I reckou dey find dere match !" An Illinois chap, in describing a gale of wind, says : "A white dog, while at tempting to weather the gale, was caught with his mouth open, aud turned com pletely inside out." . A Wife Wanted. n Somebody who wants a wife, publishes the following advertisement in n Si- Louis paper : Wanted. I have lived solitary long enough. I want some one to talk at, quarrel with then kiss uie and make up again. Therefore, I am ready 'to receive j communications from young ladies ana blooming widows of more than average respectability, tolerably tame in disposi tion, and hair of any color. As nearly a3 I can judge for myself, I am not much over eighty, uor under twenty-five years of age. I am either -five feet eight or eight feet five, I forget which. Weight 135, 315 or 531 pounds one of the three recollect each figure perfectly well, but as to their true ar rangement I am somewhat'puzzled. Have a whole suit of hair, -dyed by na turc and free from dandruff. Eyes but termilk brindle, tinged with pea green. Nose blunt, - according to Ionic order of architecture, with a touch of the com posite, and a mouth between a catash s and alligator's made especially for ora tory and the reception of largo oysters. Ears palmated, long and elegantly shaped. My whiskers are a combination of dog's hair, moss and briarbash well behaved. fearfully luxuriant. , I am sound in limb and on the negro question, u ear boots Nt). 9 when corns arc troublesome, and can write poetry by the mile, with double rhyme on both edges to read backwarks, forwards, cross wise or diagonally. Can play the Jew's tiarp or brass drum, and whistle lankee Doodle in Spanish. Am very correct in my morals, and first rate at ten-pins : have a great regard for the Sabbath and never drink unless invited. Am a domestic an imal, and perfectly docile when towels are clean and shirt buttons all right. If I possess a preeminating virtue, it is that f forgiving every enemy whom I deem it hazardous to handle. I say my pray ers every night, musqultoes permitting; as to whether I snore in my sieep, I want somcboJy to tell. Money is uo object, as 1 was never troubled with it, and never expect tobe. I should like some lady who is perfectly able to support a bus- a? band, or if she could introduce me to a amily where religious examples would be considered sufficient compensation for board, it would do just as well. An Irish girl was. ordered to hang the wash-cloths on the horse in the kitchen to dry. Her mistress shortly after found a very gentle family horse standing in the kitchen completely covered with the ar ticles that had been washed that day. Upon interrogating the girl the reply was, "Och, to be sure, you toli me to hang the clothes upon the horse in the kitchen, and the baste is the kindest I ever saw, sure." A Han Shot by a Chicken. A Sandwhich Island newspaper records a singular accident. A man employed on a plantation, iutending to shoot a goat, laid his cocked revolver in a chair for a moment when a chicken flew upon the chair, and stepping on the pistol, fired it off whether with malicious intent, or not, does not appear. The ball lodged in the man's leg, inflicting a serious wound. This is certainly a curiou3 illustration of the danger of leaving fire arms about. The question, does getting drunk ever advance one's happiness ? would seem to be put at-rest by an Irishman who went courting when drunk, and was asked what pleasure he found in whisky? "Oh, Nclly, its a treat entirely, to seo two of your swate purty faces instead 01 one I . .. A man came home drunk on a cold night and vomited in a basket containing goslings, which his wife had placed be fore the fire, upon seeing which he ex claimed, "Goodness gracious, wife! when did I swallow them things?" One cf the Buoys. A man stopping his paper recently wrote : 'I think folks doant ort to spend tharc muniiy on papers, my father never did an evry buddy sed he W03 thee smartest in the kountrce, ami had got the intellygen ist family ol buys that ever dug tatcrs." The Cairo Demoprat thus poetizes the latest agony of hoops : These hoops arc like the poet Gray; This you at once can pee; For they, as Gray did, show the world -A handsome L-E-G." The following is a copy of a bill post cd on the wall of a country village : "A lecture on total abstinence will bo deliver ed in tho open air, and a collection will be made at tho door to defray expenses." Two men fired at an eagleat tho same time, and killed lum.

The following apology was cool, but it certainly should have been satisfactory. ijui 1. is Known an over, anu ism was at the ball in all his glory. All his nec essaries for pleasure were on hand good music, pretty girls, aud excellent whisky. The cvcniuir misled off ranidlv. as it al ways decs, and Bill had. aoout one o'clock. become pretty happy. Stepping up to a young lady, he requested the pleasure of .dancing with her. She replied that she was engaged.' "Well," said Bill, are you engaged for the next set?" she said she was. Can I dance with you the next, then ? I am engaged for that, also." No, with some hesitancy. 'Go to Boston," said Bill, highly indig nant, and turned cn his heel. After a few moments Bill was accosted by the brother of the young lady, and charged with insulting his sister. Bill denies; but professes himself wil ling to apologize if he ha3 done wrong, and accordingly teps up to the young Ia: dy, when the'fo;iowing conversation en sued : - Oliss L., I understand I have insulted you V You have, sir. What did I say, Miss L. ? You told me to go to Boston. 'Well said Bill. I have come to tell you that you needu't go. Tilting Hcop3. w nenever we see a lady going alon; itnnT the street wearing the "latest style" tilt ing hoops, we are invariably reminded of the couplet of the eld 1'nglish poet, in the times of ancient "hoopery," which, ia every plain language saj's. ' their petticoats short, that a hoop eight yards wide, Might decently show where their garters were tied." Modcstv, we should frown down this abominable fashion of hoops skirts, start ed, we haven't the least doubt, by somo brazen courtezan, who are the only class of females that can hope to gain any ad vantage by their use. An organization of counterfeiters, reach ing from the St. Lawrence to the Rocky Mountains, has been disclosed by the ar rest of parties iu Kansas, which is said to have issued spurious bills to the amonut of ou-e and a quarter millions of dollars. ' The little tax cfone cost upon every box of matches netted the Government fifteen million ,of dollars last year. Ac cording to that estimate, one hundred and fifty million bunches or boxes of matches must have bceu used in this country during the year, or five bunches,, equal to five hundred matches, for every man, woman, and child. Judge Russell, of Iron Counnty, Mr., produced from a single grain of wheat a stock cf seventy five stalks, averaging twenty-nine grains each, or au aggregate of two thousand one hundred and seventy five grains. Were a bushel and a half (the ordinary quantity) to be sowa on an acre, and to produce in the proportion this grain has done, the yield would be eight thousand two hundred and sixty two and a half bushels on the acre. Gov. Orr, of South Carolina, thinks it hard that he and his brother rebels, since they have takcu oaths to support the Con stitution and maintain the Union, are looked upon with distrust. The Govern or manages to forget that he aad his set took such oaths before, when they did not mean to keep them.
