"It was to meet such difficulties as this that tontines-" "Brother!" I wrote the first sitting at my desk, and said the last aloud, impatiently—well there, angrily—for Mutile had bounced into the room, run to the back of my chair, and clapped her hands over my eyes, exclaiming,— "Oh, Dick, what a shaine 1 And you promised to come up aud dress !" "I uo wish you would not he so childish 1" I cried, snatching away her hands. "There's a blot you've made ou my manuscript." "Don't be cross,sir 1" she said laugh ing, as she gave a waltz around the room, making her pretiy silk dress whisk over one of the chairs, which she merrily picked up, and then, com ing to my writing table,she took a rose out of a basket of fiowcrs and began to arrange it in her hair. "I'm not cross," I said coldly, "but engaged in a serious work of a mercan tile and monetary nature. You seem to think meu ought always to be but terflies." "No, I don't Dick dear," she cried. "There, will that do ?" She held her head on one side for me to see the creamy rose nestling in her crisp dark hair ; but after a glance at it I let my eyes fall upon my desk, aud went on writing my pamphlet. I saw that she was looking wistfully at me, but I paid no heed and then she came and rested her hands upon uiy shoul der. "Are you going to be cross with me, Dick ?" she said softly. "Cross ? No I" I jerked out impa tiently. "Only I thought I had mar ried a woman, and she has turned out to be a child." There was silence then for a few minutes, broken only by the scratching of my pen. The little hands twitched a little AS they lay upon my shoulder, and I nearly wrote down, instead# of "The calculations arrived at by the projectors of tontines." "Richard Marlow, how can you be such a disa greeable wretch ? But of course I did not wiite it—only thought it—and 1 felt wonderfully disposed to turn a round, snatch the little figure to my breast, and kiss away the tears which I knew were gathering in her eyes. Somehow or other, though, I did not do it—only went on glumly writing— for I was cross, worried and annoyed. I had set myself a task that necessita ted constant application, and I was not getting on as I could wish : 80, like many more wetk minded individuals of the male sex, instead of asking for the comforts and advice of wife, I visited my disappointment upon the first weak object at hand, and that object was the lady in questiou. "Please, Dick dear, don't be angry with me. I can't help feeling very young and girlish, though 1 am your wife. Ido try, oh, so hard,to be wom anly : but, Dick, lam only eighteen and a half." "Thirteen and a half, I should say," I said scornfully, just as if some sour 3pirit were urging me to say biting, sarcastic things, that I knew would paiu the poor girl ; but for the life of me I could Lot help it. There was no answer -only a little sigh—and the hands were withdrwan. I went on writing—rubbish that I knew I should have to cancel. "Had you not better get ready, Dick I" said Mattie, softly. "You said you would come, when I went up stairs, and the Wilson's wou't like it if we are late." "Hang the Wilson's 1" I growled. There was another pause, filled up by the scratch, scratch of one of the uoise iest peDs I ever used, aud another little sigh. Mattie was standing close behind me, but I did not look around, and at last she glided geutly to a chair and sat down. "What are you going to do ?" I said roughly. " Wait for you, Dick dear," she re plied. •'You need not come. Say I've a headache—say any thing I" '•Dick are you ill ?" she said tend erly, as she came behind me once more and rested her hand on my shoulder. •'Yes—no—pray don't bother. Go on. Perhaps I'll come and fetch yon." There was another pause. •'Dick dear, I'd rather not go with out you," she said meekly. "And I'd rather you did g> without me," I said angrily. "The Wilsons are our best friends, and I won't have them slighted." "Then why not come, Dick ?" sai'l the little woman, and I could see that she was struggling brave to keep back the tears. "Because I've no time for such fri volity. There, you've wasted enough of my time, so go." Scratch, sciatcb, went the exasperat- A PAPER FOR THE HOME CIRCLE. ing pen, as I went on writing more stuff to cancel, and yet too weak and angry to leave off like a sensible man run up and change my things, and ac company my little wife to the pleasant social gathering a few doors lower down the road. She had been looking forward to the visit us a treat.So had I till that gloomy flt came over me ; but as I had tak on the step already made, I felt that 1 could not retreat without looking fool ish ; so I acted with the usual wis dom displayed hy man under such cir cumstances, and made matters much worse. "Did you hear me say that I wisher! you to go alone V" I said angrily. "Yes, yes, Dick dear, I'll go If you wish," Mattie said very meekly ; "but indeed I'd far rather stay at hom9." "You are desired to go ; you have a rose in your hair," I said sarcastical ly—oh, what a poor satire when it was put there to please me I—"and they ex pect you ; so now go, and enjoy your self," I added, byway of a sting to my sensible speech. "I can't enjoy myself, Dick," she said gently, "uuless you come too. Let me stay." "I desire you to go !" I exclaimed, hanging my hand down on the desk. She looked at me with the great tears standing in her eyes, and then, coming nearer, she bent ovet and kissed my forehead. "Will you come and fetch me* Dick ?" she said softly. "Yes—no—perhaps—l don't know,'' I said roughly, a9 I repelled her caress es. And then, looking wistfully at me, she went slowly to the door,glided out, and was gone. That broke the spell, and I started from my seat, more angry than ever, 1 was wroth with her now for obeying me so meekly, and 1 gently opened the door, to hear hef call the maid to ac company her as far as the Wilsons'. Then I heard them go-heard the girl return, and I was alone. Alone ? Well, not exactly ; for so to speak, I was having an interview with my angry self, asking how I could let a feeliug of announce act upou my better nature, and make me behave a 8 1 had to the sweet girlish being who during the six months we had been married, had neyer looked at me but with eyes of love. "Change your things and go after her," something seemed to say ; but I repelled it, threw my writing aside kicked off my boots, snatched my slip pers out of the closet, thrust the easy chair in front of the fire, threw myself into it, and then, with my feet on the fender and my hanJs in my pockets, I sat, morose, bitter and uncomfortable gazing at the glowing embers. "She had no business to go I" I ex claimed. "She knew I was up all last night writing that miserable book, and, was out of sorts, and she ought to have stayed." Then I reviewed the past half hour, and grew calmer as I leaned back, knowinn as I did that I had forced her to go, poor child, aud how miserable she would be. "She'll forget it among all those peo ple," I said bitterly. But I did not believe it, and at last I sat there calling myself idiot, blind, roadman, to plant as I had the first seeds of what might grow into a very apas tree of dissension, and blight the whole of our maried life. "Poor little darling 1" I said at last ; "I'll wait up till she comes home, a.id then tell her how sorry I am for my folly, and ask her forgiveness. But as a man can Ido that! Will it not be weak ? Neysr mind," I exclaimed, "I'll do it 1 Surely there can be no braver thing than to own one's self in the wrong. Life is short to blurr it with petty quarrels. And suppose she were taken ill to-night—my darling whom I love with all my heart ? Or suppose she went too near the Are and her dress caught alight V There, how absurd ! Thank goodness, she is in silk, and not in one of those fly-away muslins 1" I sat on, musing, till suddenly there was a buzz outside the house, and then the rush of feet, I fancied I heard the word "Are 1" repeated again and again, and, turning to the window, there was aglow which lighted up the whole place. I dashed down the stairs and out of the door, to And the road thronged, for a house a little lower down was in flames, and to my horror I had not ta ken a dozen steps before I found it was our friend's the Wilson'. Theie was no engine, but a crowd of excited people talked eagerly ; and just then the Are escape came trund ling along the road It was quite time, for the house as I reached it was blaz ing furiously, the Aames darting out in long fiery tongues from the upper win dows, while at several there were peo j pie crying piteously for help. ' I fought my way through the crowd, and tried to run up to the house, but half a dozen oAlcious people held me back, while the men with the Are es cape hurried to rear it against the house ; but it would not reach because of the garden in front, so that they had to get the wheels of the escape over tlio iron railings, and this unused great de lay. "Ltt meg)!" I panted to those who held mo. "Let me go ! iSorae one—some one is in the house I" "You can't do any good, sir," said a policeman, roughly. 4 'The escape men will do all that can be done." But I struggled frantic illy, and got loose, feeling all the while a horrible, despairing sensation, as I knew that my poor darling was oue of the shriek ing suppliants for help at the windows, and that but for my folly I might haye saved her. As I freed myself from those who held me, and ran to the escape, it was to And that the man who had ascended it had just been beaten back by the Aames. 44 lt's no good," he said ; 4, we must try the back of the house." lie was a bout to drag the machine away, when 1 heard my name called in piteou9 tones ; and as 1 was once more seized, 1 shook myselt free, rushed up the ladder, with the Aames scorching and buruing my face, and panting and breathless, I reached a window where Mattie stoid stretching out her hands. I got astride of the sill, the Aames being wafted away from me,and threw my arms around her ; but as I did so the ladder gave away, burned through by the Aames that gushed furiously from the lower window,and I felt that I must either jump or try to descend by the staircase. There was no time for thinking, so I climbed In, lifted Mattie in my armsi feeling her dress crumble in my hands as I touched her, aud the horrible od>r of burnt hair rose to my nostrils as I saw her wild, blackened face turned to mine. "Dick, Dick !" she gasped, "save me !" and then she fainted. Fortunately, I was as much at home in the house as in my own, and mak ing for the staircase through the Atme aud smoke, I reached it in safety, but t>elow me was what seemed to be a Aercely blazing furnace. I rec iled for a moment,but it was ray only hope, and I recalled that the lower Aoor was as yet untouched by the Are ; it was the one beneath me that was blazing so furiously. So, getting a good tight grip of my treasure, I rushed down the burning stairs, feeling them crackle and give way as I bounded from one to the other. It was a fiery ordeal, but in a few seconds I waa below the flames, and reached the ball, where 1 struggled to the door, reached it and fell. If I could but open it I knew we were sav ed ; but I was exhausted, and the hot air caught rae by the throat aDd seem ed to strangle me. I raised my hand to the lock, but it fell back. I beat feebly at tbe door but there was only the roar of flames to answer rae : and as I made one more supreme effort, panting and struggling to reach the fastening, I was dragged back by the weight of the burden I still clasped to ray breast. It was more than human endurance could bear, and I felt that the end was near ; and to make my sufferings more po'gnant, Mattie seemed to revive, struggling with me for her life, as she kept repeating my name, and clung to me, till— "Dick-dear Dick 1 Wake—prny pray wake ! Are you ill ?" I started up, to And Mattie clinging to me ; and, clasping her to my heart a great sob I urst from me as I kissed her passionately again and again, hard ly able to believe ray senses. "Oh, Dick,".she panted, "you did frighten me so! I couldn't stay to supper at the Wilsons, dear, for I could do nothing lut think about your being here alone, and cross with me. So—so I was so miserable, Dick, that I slipped away and came home, to find you lying back here, panting and strug gling : you wouldn't wake when I shook you. Were you ill ?" "Oh, no, not at all," I said, as I kisstd her again and again, feeling now for the first time sensible of a smarting pain in one foot. "You have burnt yourself too, Dick; look at your foot." It was quite true ; the toe of oue slipper must have come in contact with the fire ; and it was burned complete ly off. "But, dear Dick," she whispered, nestling closer to me, "are you very angry with your little wife for being such a girl ?" I could not answer, only thauk God that my weak fit of folly was past, as I clasped her closer and closer yet. "Mattie, I said at l ist iu a very bus ky voice, "can you forgive me for be ing so weak V" I could say no more, for tne hin drance of two soft lips placed on mine ; Terms, SI.OO per Year, in Advance. and while they rested there I made a vow I hope I shall have strength to keep ; for real troubles are so plenty it is folly to invent the false. At last, when I was free, I took the rose out of her hair and placed it iu my pocket-book ; while, in answer to the inquiring eye 3 that were bent on mit.e, I merely said,— "For a memento of a dreadful dream." By the way, I never finished that pamphlet. Washington's Quarrel With Payne. 'lt was in that era,' said Mr.Brock et, the white whiskered auditor of Alexandria, 'in which Washington had his quarrel with Lieutenant Payne. We were standing at a win dow on the second floor of the market house and looking down into the great open court which it surrounds. The court is filled with hundreds of little wooden booths, where the farm ers bring their produce and display it for sale on every market day. The meat stalls are in the building itself, but the whole is of comparitively re cent date, and in Washington's time the place was an open market space. 'The cause of the trouble,' contin ued Mr. Brocket, 'was political. There was a contest for the Virginia Assem bly, and Payne held one political theory,while Washington held anoth er. Payne was himself a candidate for the Legislature against Fairfax, of Alexandria. Washington supported Fairfax, and when he met Payne he had a hot political discussion with him on the spot which you see ju9t below you. Payne considered him self insulted by one of Washington's remarks and knocked bim down. The moment the assault was over the story went like lightningthrough the town that Colonel Washington was killed, and his troops, who were stationed with hint at Alexandria at the time, rushed in. They would have made short work with Payne if Washington had not prevented them, and, pointing to his black eye, told then] that it was his affair and he knew how to manage it. They thought this meant a duel, and the next day the town was on the qui vtve in regard to the affair. The following morning Payne got a note from Washington asking him to come to the hotel.; Payne, expecting a duel, did so, but he found Washington with his head tied up, in an amic&ble mood. He said as Payne entered, and I doubt not he had his words cut and dried before hand : *Mr. Payne, to err is human. I was wrong yesterday, but if you have had sufficient satisfaction let us be friends.' There was a decan ter of wine and two glasses on the ta ble, which Washington had ordered to smooth over the trouble. The two pledged themselves to new friendship over this,and history 1 elates that they remained strong friends to the day of Washington's death. Colonel Payne was one of the pall-bearers at Wash ington 's funeral."— Cleveland Ledg er. Looking Out for the Oars. 4 *Al' women are aiike in the fear of the cars," said an Illinois Central con ductor. "They carry their caution to absurd extremes. That reminds me of a little story. Down in the southern part of the State we have up at road crossings some of the old-fashioned signs, 'Look out for the cars when tha bell rings.' At one of the crossings the other day two women came up, driving an old horse hitched to a buggy. They looked all about and couldn't see any cars, but happened to read the sign. 'Stop,' said one, 'I hear a bell.' They both listened, and sure enough they heard a bell tinkling. One of the wo men got out, and amid considerable ex citement took hold of the horse's bridle. The other tightened her grip on the lines, set her jaws, and prepared for the worst. They looked anxiously up the track for the train, but still couldn't see it, though they could hear the bell a little plainer than before. They wait ed and waited. Five minutes passed, then ten, and still no train. The old horse went to sleep, while the women's nerves, from long straining, threatened to throw them into hysterics; Nearer and nearer came the bell against which the sign warned them,and so they stood still. In about a quarter of an hour an old brindle cow came walking down the pasture by the side of the track, chew ing her cud and monotonously jingling her bell. One of the women cried from nervousness, and the other one got mad at the railroad company, and said they were nothing but mean old monopolies, anyway." NO. 4. "Our beloved President hab sprained his back and busted his suspenders," continued Sir Isaac, "but was still full ob feelin' dat he would or die, when,at a critical minit,deole woman's strength gin out an* de full weight ob a stove weighin' about six tons fell upon Brudder Gardner.

Rapid Growth of a Gent. A cent seems of little value, remarks an exchange, but if it is doubled a few times, it grows to a marvelous sum. A young lady in Portland caught her fath er in a very rash promise, by a knowl edge of this fact on her part. She modestly proposed that if her father would give her only one cent on one day,and double the amount on each successive day for just one month, she would pledge herself never to ask of him another cent of money as long as she lived. Paterfamilias, not stopping to run over the figures in his head, and not supposing it would amount to a large sum, was glad to accept the offer at once, thinking it also a favorable op portunity to include a possible marriage dowry in the future. On the twenty fifth day he became greatly alarmed,lest if he complied with his cwn acceptance he might be obliged to be "declared a bankrupt on his own petition." But on the thirtieth day the young girl demanded only the pretty little sum of $5,363,709,12 ! The astonished merchant was only too happy to cancel the claim by advancing a handsome cash payment for his folly ia allowing himself to give a bond—for his word he considered as good as his bond—with out noticing the consideration therein expressed, and by promising to return to the old custom of advanciug small er sums daily until otherwise ordered. Our arithmetical reporter has been "figuring cn it," and says that if the old gentleman had fulfilled his promise, the daughter would have had, upon the receipt of the thirtieth payment, the snug little sum of $10,430,617,43. She Shamed the Burglar. One night lately, at the Home of the Merciful Saviour for Crippled Children, in Philadelphia, between the hours of 1 and 2,Sister Sarah was aroused by hear ing a chair fall over below stairs. Has tily putting on her wrapper, lamp in hand, she descended to the parlor. Her first glance revealed an open window at the back part of the room. A small part of this parlor is curtained off. The curtain was parted, and Sister Sarah thought it moved. Approaching it,she found herself face to face with a white man, tall and stout. Fixing her eyes upon him she said : "The Chinese have a saying that to some men hearts have . been given, and to some a gizzard in stead of a heart." And with a look of scorn she continued : "You have come to a house as a thief where there are on ly crippled children and a few women to take care of them." The man drew his hat over his eyes and leaped out of the window. Among the Egyptians the cat was held sacred to Isis, or thß moon, and worshipped with great ceremony. In the mythology of all the Indo-Euro peans nations the cat holds a promi nent place, and its connection with witches is well known.; LAWS If *ub*erlbers order the dlscontunintion of newspapers. tle puMlsliers may centime to send them until all arrearages are paid.
