fretfully, as her husband arose from the tea

mind filled with such fretful queries, Lizzie
Hayes fell asleep on the sofa.
Let me paint her picture as she lay there.
She was a blonde, with a small, graceful
figure and a pretty face. The hair which
showed by its rich wares its natural tendon•

was such a bother to curl it,' she said ; her
checks were pale, her whole face wore a dia•
contented expression. tier dress was a
neat..epintz wrapper, but she wore neither
collar nor sleeves : 'what's the use of dress
ing up Just for William ?'
Lizzie slept soundly for two hours and
then awoke suddenly. She sat up, glanced
at.the clock, and sighed drearily, at the
prospect of the long interval to be spent be
fore bed time.
The library was just over the room in
which she.aat, and down the furnace flue,
through the register, a voice came to the
young wife's oars ; ft washer husband's
'Well, Moore, what's i man to do I I

She looked in the glass. If not dowdy, her
costume was certainly not suitable for an
evening at home, with only William %ad
mire. o She arose and went softly to her
room, with bitter and sorrowful thoughts,
and a' firm resolution to win back her hus
band's heart, and then, his love regained, to
kei p it.
The next intuiting William came into the
breakfast room with his usual careless man

begirt bounded, as she recognized the old
lover's tone and manners.
Not one fretful speech fell upon Vikil,lism'a

subject she could think of, warmed by hit
grateful interest and cordial manner

he went out
'Can't to-day, Lizzie ; I have business out
of town, but l will be home early to tea.—
Have some substantial, for I don't expect to
dine. Good bye,' and the smiling look,
warm kiss and lively whistle were a marked
oontrast to his carirless_lounging gait of the
evening previous.
'I am in the right path,' said Lizzie in •
low whisper. 'Oh, what a fool I haver been

"Tar on de Ileel.l
The Cleveland Plaindealer, on the author
lty of a ►hthern friend, tells us how the
saying, "Dar's a nigger got tar on his ht el,"
is used among thu slaves on the plantations
Ile recently vented a plantation to ar Mein
phis, Tennessee, and at night, s hen the
darkey's work was done, they mist ridded to
pitch coppers. The
_gents began to Wasp
pear in a very mysterious manner Th..
Most rigid eramtnarion - reveste.l no chin to
them The stock of coppers had dwindled
fearfully, when light seemed to break upon
one of the darkeys, and he yelled, Dar's a
'uglier got tar on his heel ''' Great confil
Hien followed the announcement, and the
darkeys commenced-seating each other vto
lently on the grou'.d At one time twenty
darkeys were seated on the ground, while
twenty more had their legs in the air look
ing at their heels.
The miscreant wry nt last discovered --
The black wretch, who sought to bring a
t:me honored game into disrrpute, was at
last discovered An old negro, who was too
late to Indulge in games, and 'who had be
forc(been (like Ceasar's wife) above EUEVI
cull, had covered his heels with tar. Under
the pretence of Weeihg fair play. this elderly
colored person had made himself cynspicu
ous among tile players, voluntrwafig himself
as judge on all disputed points, nod all the
white the sly old coon was treading. On the
coppers They stuck, of course and when
his heels were turned up, they revealed
right smart chance" of cents. There, are
some white people up No!th, by the way,
who have "tar on their heels," but they
tread on gold Instead of coppers.
" There goes a teetotaler," shouted a
bawling drunkard, recently. at Washington
The abstainer waited till a crowd came yp,
and said • " There stands a drunkard !
Three years ago he had the sum of two
hundred dollars ; flow he cannot proluce a
penny. 1 know he cannot. I challenge him
to do it, for if he had a penny ho would be

and here stands a teetotaler, with a purse
full of money7honestly, earned and carefully
kept. There stands a drunkard ! Three
years ago he had a watch, a coat, shoes and
decent clothes ; now he has nothing but rags
upon him, his watch is gone, and his shoes

"In a moment, (teary," answers Sally,

"Let me go," says little Joe, bring
