I shall hate her Ob-o-o-h, ’’ fretted little Hester Bliss 5 as she turned into the yard crying bitterly. Oh-o-o-h-h-h, she’s the worst girl—” “ Jester,” said Mfs. Bliss in her softest, most soothing tone, coming to meet her, “ what makes you cfy, dear ?” “That naughty pushing girl hurt me— poshed me right down ’gainst my dinner pail, only see,” and the little girl took off her hat and showed a bloody forehead, and fell to crying again harder than be fore. Her mother led her tenderly to the water and bathed away the blood, then laid a wet cloth on the slight wound, and took her little daughter on her lap. She did not say anything for a' few minutes, -hut wiped away the fast coming tears, and pressed her cheek lovingly, against the pretty brown curb. After a while Hes terV tears ceased, and she looked into her mother’s few shily, for somehow she felt that mamma sorry for ■ something be- j sides/the hurt forehead. 1 | “ Isn’t it ever so tricked to posh folks I doWR) mamma ?” she asked, catching her bredth with * Wf 80^- Wong, ddar; ‘bat what did you do pi made Susie push you “ Nothing paid little Hester, starting up and speaking earnestly. “ I didn’t do one thing. She told me to sing, and I didn’t want to, and then she pushed me right down,” and the poor child drew a long, tremulous sigh. ** Why didn’t you wish to sing, dear'?” “ ’Cause she laughs at me.” And the sensitive little one shrank down against; her mother’H a shoulders, as if she felt ' the 1 sting of that unkind laugh even then.— Mrs. Bliss drew her closer to her bosom, and pressed kiss after kiss on the flushed cheek. “ She pushes everybody, mamma! O she’s the very naughtiest—” “ I wouldn’t talk about her, darling.” “ But you don’t think a good girl would push me down and hurt me, do you mamma ?” “ No, indeed!” hiding a halt'smile be hind the brown curls. “ But Hester, dear, we must not mind so much what others do; it is what wrong we ourselves do that should trouble us. 'Hie push that Susie gave you would have done little harm had you not suffered it to arouse angry, bitter, revengeful feelings ; those made you unhappy. Go up into your little room now, my love, and ask God to forgive you and Susie too.” Susie was, indeed, as little Hester had said a wicked girl. She took delight in pushing everybody that she could, es pecially those not as strong as herself.— If they stood by the brook she pushed them in, wetting shoes and feet. She pushed children against seats, door, stove, wall, or anything else, and caused a deal of discomfort at school, and sometimes positive injury. But Susie got pushed herself, one day, severely enough to teach her better habits. I will tell you how it happened. There was a pasture adjoining the school-yard, and a pet lamb named Tom my was put into it a few days after Susie pushed little Hester on to her dinner pail. It was a district where sheep are sel dom seen, save when they were driven past by butchers, all covered with dust and dirt. But Tommy was largo, and white, and beautiful, and the school chil dren liked very much to look at him while he fed along steadily behind the cows.. One day he came down with the cows when some of the girls were at the brook. Susie and Hester were among them. The girls started to run away, but Susie de clared she was not afraid of a lamb, and as Tommy drew near she threw up her hands to drive him away. Whether he wished to play 1 cannot say, but he in stantly dyew back, arched bis neck proudly, and jumped, pushing Susie so hard that she went on to her knees, as she said, “ before she knew it.” She scrambled up, but before she got fairly to her feet Tommy pushed her again, and down she went, but jumped up quickly and tried to reach the stone wall, but the frolicsome pet gave her another “ push” that sent her headlong against a rock, by which fall her chin was sadly cut, and her arm and shoulder badly bruised. The boys set up an unkind shout, and the girls whispered among themselves. “Just goad enough for her“ served her right wonder if she’ll push us again in a hurry.” But little fester went to the wall and helped Susie over. At night Hester recounted the whole affair to her mother, who was ■adly perplexed by the tone and manner of her little girl; for, while it was by no means triumphant, it was far too anima ted to be a token of pity, so she asked “ And weren’t you sorry to have poor Susie hurt so »” “ Why no, mamma,” said Hester, very solemnly, “ because I suppose that is the way God sent to punish her for punishing all of us girls: so I oughtn’t to be sorry, you see ; but I wet my handkerchief and put it on her chin, and told her if she wouldn’t cry I’d give her every one of my nuts that Dick Foster gave me, and when she was crackiug them on the wall, and the girls begged for some, she didn’t push them away at all; so I guess she won’t ever push folks again.” The mother had nothing more to say.

SAXE Once on a time—'twas long ago There lived a worthy dame Who sent her son to fetch some floor, For she was old apd lame. But while he loitered on the road. The Northwind chanced to stray Across the careless rionnker's path’, Ami stole the flour awar. ’ “Alas! what shall We do for bread f" Exclaimed the weeping M * “The flout is gone .’—the flonr’ii gone ! And it was all we had 1" And so he sought the Northwind’s cave. Beside the distant main ; “Good .Mister Borea*!”—said the lad, •T waut my flour again ! '1 was all we had to live upon— My mother old and I; O give us back the flour again, Or wc shall surely die !” “I have it notthe North wind growled “But for your laekiof bread, 1 give to you this table-cloth ; ’Twill serve you well instead; For you have but to spread it out. And every costly dish Will straight appear at yonr command. Whatever you may wish." The lad received the magic cloth, With wonder and delight, And thanked the doner heartily, As well, indeed, he might. Keturuing homeward, at an Inn Just half his journey through. He fain must show his’ table-cloth, And what the cloth could do. So while he slept, the knavish host Went slyly to the bed, And stole cloth—bnt shrewdly placed Another in its stead. Unknowing what the rogue had done. The lad went on hia. wav, And came unto his journey’s end Jlist at the close of dav. He -bowed the dame his table-cloth. And told her of its power; “Good sooth,” he cried, “ ’twas well for us The Northwind stole the flour!" “Perhaps,’—exclaimed the cautious crone, “The story may he true; Tis mighty Utile good, I ween, Vour table cloth can do And now the younker spread it forth, And tried the spell—alas ! Twas hut a common table-cloth, And nothing came to pass. Then to the Northwind, far away, He sped with might and main; “Vour table-cloth is good for nonght: I want my flonr again!” “I have it no;”—the Northwind growled, “Bnt, lack of bread, I give to yon this little goat, Twill serve you well instead ; For von have but to tell him this : ‘Make money! Muster BUI!’ And he will give yon golden coins, As many as you will!’’ The lad received the magic goat, With wondhr and delight, And thanked the donor heartily, As well, indeed, he might. Returning homeward, at the Inn, Just half his journey through ; He fain most show his little goat. And what the goat could do. ** e •kpk t * ie knavish host Went slyly to the shed, And stole the goat—but shrewdly placed Another in its stead.

The cudgel will, obey I" Returning home, he stopt at night Where he had lodged before; And feighning to be fast asleep; lie soon began to snore. And when the host would steal the staff. The sleeper mnttered,“Stay— I see what you would fain be at ; Good cudgel I—hit away I” , The cudgel thumped about his eats. Till he began to cry, “O stop the staff, for mercy’s sake 1 Or I shall surely die!” But still the cudgel thumped away 'Until the.roacal said.

She ran up Baltimore street as far as Calvert, where she met a man with a wheelbarrow’' on which were several matresses, aud con tented herself by pusing her horns through the matrasses and tossing them into the street. She tiled returned and ran up North street, to Fayette, and into the yard of the new United States court House, but came out again immediately, followed by the crowd, which turned her head towards if. At the corner of Baltimore and North streets she rushed at a colored man, and catching him on her horns threw him on the street, and passed westward. The colored man was terribly frightened, but not injured. The cow continued her course up Baltimore street; and when near Light, rushed upon a young man named John S. Beed a clerk to Major- General Butler 1 , and gored him in the left . arm, near the shoulder, causing a painful wound about three indies in and penetrating nearly to the bone. He was : removed to the drug store of Coleman & Rogers, where the wound was dressed, after which he went to the Newton Uni versity Hospital. The animal kept on J her course, and at the comer of Charles j street ran at a lady who was leading a ; little boy by the band.

A cudgel for his enemies, And money for his friends!; CHANGES WHOUQHT BTWAB. In “Cudjo’s Cave,” a war novel by J. T. Trowbridge, well known as a contribu tor to the Atlantic Monthly, we find the following beautiful paragraph: “How many a beloved, ‘good-for-noth ing’ has gone from our streets and fire sides, to reappear far off in a vision of glory ! The school-fellows know not their comrade ; the mother knows not her own son. The stripling, whose outgoing and incoming were so familiar to us—impul sive, fun loving, a little vain, a little sel fish, apt to be cross when the supper was not ready, apt to coine late and make you cross when the supper was ready and waiting—who ever guessed what noble ness was in him! His country called, and he rose up a patriot. The fatigue of marches, the hardships of camp and bivouac, the Hard fare, the injustice that that must be submitted to, all the terrible trials of the body’s strength and the soul’s patient endurance—these he bora with the superb buoyancy of spririt which denotes , hero. Who was it that caught up the colors, and rushed forward with them into the thick of the battle, the fifth man who attempted it had been shot down? Not the village loafer, who used to go about the streets dressed so shabbily ? Yes, the same. He fell, covered with wounds and glory. The rusty and seemingly useless instrument we saw hang so long idle on the walls of society, none dreamed to be a trumpet of sonorous note until the soul came and blew a blast. And what has become of that white-gloved, purfumed, handsome cousin qf yours, devoted to his pleasures, weary even of those—to whom life, with all its luxuries, had become a •bore ? He fell in the trenches at Wagner. He had distinguished himself by his dar ing, his hardi-hood, his fiery love of liber ty. When the nation’s alarm beat, his manhood ■ stood erect; he shook himself; all past frivolities were no more than dust to the name of, this young lion. The war has proved useful if only in this, that it has developed the latent heroism in our young mem, and taught us what is in hu manity, in our fellows, in ourselves.— Because it has called into action all this generosity and courage, if for no other cause, let us forgive its cruelty, though the chair of the beloved one be; vacant, the bed unslept in and the hand cold that penned the letters in that sacred drawer, which cannot even now be opened with out grief.” FBSAES OF A MAT! COW. Late yesterday afternoon a cow made her appearance on Baltimore street, near South, and in a few minutes her actions caused considerable excitement. A man was driving her through the city, and unused to the sight of so many vehicles, she soon became excited, and ran at a lady, but without doing any harm. Immedately some two or three hundred persons gath ered, and by tbeir hooting so completely enraged the animal that she attacked any who. fell in her way or attempted to check , ’-.y^ :Jf‘ > 1 EDITORS PBOPBIEFOB A GOOD STOBT. During Robert Holler’s lafe brilliant engagement in Pittsburg the tune and excellence of his entertainments attracted all classes of people—-the musical and' re fined, the millionarie and merchant prince, the mechanic and the artizan; in , * *ye*y class of society found its repre sentatives within the theatre each night of his performance. One evening a genuine specimen of the genus verdant, with his girl on his arm, presented himself at the box office and demanded— ' “ What's the tax to the show ?” “ Fifty cents,” politely answered the ticket seller. “ Well, I guess I won’t bade outanyhow —here’s your tin.” deceiving his tickets, greeny entered, dragging the young lady by the. hand.— This peculiarity, and the oddity of - their dress, soon made thenj the observed of all observers. Heller shortly after‘com-; menced his illusions, which were won dered at with eyes and mouth wide open by our rustic pair—he occasionally ejacu lating in pretty loud tones, “ Thunder,” while she would exclaim, “ Mercy, ain’t it queer 1,” ' . 4 Feat after feat was presented, and re ceived with the plaudist of the audience, until the introduction of the “ Aerial Bell,” a glass bell suspended by a simple cord from the centre of the ceiling, and used in answering questions. After thej usual performance with it, the question! was asked “ Is anybody in the house in lovi wishes to get married ?” “ Yes.” “Pray tell what part of the they are in ?” The bell immediately rustics, wlio sat looking at one anofl as a pair of doves, apparently oblivkJ theu: own happiness, to all surrounS “ Are they engaged ?” M “No.” jfl “ Will they ever be ?” “ Ye«.” “When will Uptake place ?” “ To-night.” During these questions and our rustic had been gradually ope - himself out like a jack-knife, and nov tained his full attitude ; when pnllin 'f his shirt collar, and stirring up nis of flax colored hair, he w-B" less with joy and medtementr |p}' “Say,say, you mister 1 jest a:M“’' thing if Nancy Jane and me is*!*^ 1 * spliced together, and if he says 'jSJ, give you the best horse in Butler JP ’ and call our first boy after yon ” 18k ' Shouts, yells and peals of lauaMßfe lowed this announoememt, Jane, suffused with blushes; pqjsSSgg’. coat tail, and begged him in treating manner: *^BSSk, “ Kow, do, Ike, please sit you, now?” Ike, however, toomuch elated with his success, and unmindfnlof Ml around, stretched his body as fer as possible over the bMustrade, and in a voice audible fat every corner of the house, cried out: “ Dod rot it, mister, do jest that thing to say yes, and dog my cats and bnttoS if I don’t call ail my babies, boys and girls, after you, and lick that says grass to you, to boot.” - 5 You can readily imagine the ment was short that night, aqd whew over, the happy couple were made - happier, as the minister made them for life, in the presence of Robert HellerJ .
