M AN MI.. A Story for Suspicion* People. A lady purchased a home in a beau tiful village, about forty mile- from a well known city. Slu* longed for fresh air and quiet scenes, and doubtless site would have found all (he happiness which site sought in this pleasant re treat, had not the place been haunted by that terrible spectre — Scttittlttf. "Have you seen tlie new arrival?"— asked Mrs. Thomas, of her neighbor, ; .Mrs. Lawrence, about a week after the stranger took possession of Maple Cot tage, as the little place she had pur chased was railed. A curl of the lip and a shrug of the shoulders was all the reply made by Mrs. Lawrence; but in the gestures i Mrs. Thomas saw, or supposed she 1 saw, a sufficient reason for shunning the acquaintance of the stranger. Had Mrs. Lawrence, who was a great stickler for aristocratic society, answer ed the question in words; had -lie ex pr<.—t d her real opinion of iter new neighbor in tangible form, no very great results would have occurred, for she would have said "Yes, 1 have seen her; she hud on a cheap delaine dress, and I hear she does her own washing," j —no very serious charges, hut accord- ; ing to Mrs. Lawrence's ideas of "good j -ociety," quite suffi' poor man stammered and stopped ; for ne cotitd iitu exi-i.-c himself, without ' exposing the gos-dp of the eongrega- ' tion. ' Did not dare to call on my sister, the widow of General Finch?"—and the tinge of contempt mingled with the look of surprise and indignation with which lie contemplated the j abashed and crest fallen young preach- j ' er. After reaching his sister's residence, ' he questioned her in regard to the mat- j ' ter; but here be was again baffled. 1 She could only tell him that, since her residence in the place, she had been "let alone," in the full acceptance of the term. Determined to understand I . the wherefore of such a proceeding, he ( again demanded an explanation of the S minister, who was finally compelled to 1 admit that he hail supposed, from the • gossip of lii* church members, that the j woman was a very outcast from socio ty, and that tiiere had been talk of driving her from the place. "She will not care to remain," said the profe—or ; "but b"fore she goes, I shall sift this matter thoroughly; and 1 so lie did, gathering up, link by link, 1 tbe whole chain of scandal until he came to Mrs. Lawrence.—Rut this the 1 1 itter utterly denied, and Mrs. Thomas wa- at last obliged to confess that Mrs. ' L; \vr< nee had merely -hrugged her 1 shoulders and curled her lip, when ! asked her opinion of her r.ew neigh- ' b r. "All, indeed !" was Mrs. Lawrence's ' rejoin dir. "I remember of thinking , j she could not he much of a lady, as she wore a laded delaine and did her own washing!" And there the mattter rested. Mrs. Lawrnii e. with a look and a shrug of tlie shoulders, and Mrs. Thomas by jealous surmises, had caused sorrow and pain to an innocent person—they had, iti fact, stolen the good name ol one who had never injured them ; and but for the timely appearance of her broth er, the consequences might have still been more serious. The professor preached the following Sunday, and at t lie conclusion of the discourse he repeated the tale of wrong, adding, "Had this woman really been poor and frie nd!e-s, as supposed, what would the end have been? Deprived of her good name and, in consequence, of all means of earning a livelihood, she would doubtless have been elis ctiuraged and despondent, and sunk down to the grave a victim of these*an dal of those falsely e'alling themselves I /trisfians ; and you in thesight of God, would not only have been classed a mong liars, but murderers." A GRATEFUL FATHER.— The little son of a i rooklyn clothing dealer fell into the East Itiver, a few days since, and was rescued from a watery grave by a working man who jumped into the river at the risk of his life, and by great exertions brought the lad to shore. The father, as a grateful recompense to the preserver of his child generously offered to "iron out his wet clothes if he would bring them around to the store. The reign of high-heeled boots has been short; fashion has utterly dis carded them. A foot race between three girls was a feature of a late lowa fair. Froui sfic New York Home Journal before ihe war lOIIJI 1 \< lU'IIMSIIMK, THE NIGHT FURERAL OF A SLAVE Traveling recently on business, i: the interior of Georgia, I reach much metaphysics, hot bread and pie. I have strong eonvi< - tions on thissuhjert of pie. Xottospej k of mere paleness, I don't see how the Americans can reconcile it with their notions of what is due to the laws of nature, to live to the age they do, con sidering the amount of pie they eat. I don't remember that I ever sat down to adinner in America, even in a poor man's house, without finding pie of som • kind—often of several kinds—on the table, and without finding that everybody partook of it, down to the microscopic lady or gentleman whom we shall call the baby. Pie isindi-pen sable. Take anything away, but leave pie. Americans can stand the prohibi tion of all intoxicating drink--; but at tempt to prohibit pie, and you would plunge America into revolution in a day. Then metaphysics! In one family which 1 visited in the* onnecticiit Val ley, two of the girls were deep in the study of Algebra and Metaphysics, as a voluntary exercise, and shut themselves up for three hours a day with Colenso, SirWiiliam Hamilton, and Kent. This was, perhaps, exceptional, but the Now England brain is very busy, it devel ops very soon and very fast, and begins at a very early age to exercise itself with theabstruserstudies. Parents and teachers frequently told me that their difficulty, with the girls especially, was not to get them urged on, but to get them held back. In one young ladies' seminary which 1 visited, they were held back with the following light stu dies, in addition to all the ordinary branches; Virgil and Horace, Latin prose composition, Anatomy and Hy giene, Moral Philosophy, Mental Phil osophy and Quadratic Equations. To this add pie and hot bread, and what could you expect but paleness, evtn among the mountains of .Maine ! Paleness and pie notwithstanding, the American girls are very delightful. And in one point they fairly surpass the majority of English girls—they are a I educated and well informed. It is a painful, but I feara too incontrovertible f .ot that most of the jrirlw nn this ..! that middle-class families in the country often dispense with ser vants altogether. The young ladies can make bread as well as demonstrate proposition, and their mental philoso phy; whatever it amounts to, never interferes with the perfection of the pics Samuel Johnson used to say that a man would rather that his wife should be able to cook a good din ner than read Greek. •ut he does not seem to have anticipated a time when a woman could learn to do both.— From Daniel Macros's JXotes on Ameri ca. KPOOXK! O, NPOUSS! It seems the great spoon-fancier is I not forgotten, lint (as Artenius Ward I would have said) "on the contrary far i otherwise." An exchange savs:— "From all sections of the country— from Maine to Alaska, from the North, the South, the East, and the West— I worthless old spoons have been sent to ! the "lkast," by express and by mail. ; Spoons of wood, bone, horn, pewter, j tin, iron, and brass pour in upon him !at ail hours. The plague of spoons is becoming more unendurable to Butler I than a plague of frogs. Baskets of i spoons are brought to him from the 1 postoffiee, and the express carts are constantly delivering them at his door. The suggestion is made that these off erings be kept up."
