OAUGHT A TAHTAB. in' a ; r. , IVFr. yjntlirop was a physician, a wid ptycr, aiijl tlio father of two children. His qiiit't' homo Imd been tindur thu charge rf a hoimekeoppr rather more thnn a. year, and as tho evenings began lo lengthen, and tlio Vintcr winds sound Jid their premonitory notes through the leafless branches, ho began more sensi bly to miss tho comforts and endear luenti of an unbroken home circle, and to think seriously of filling tho vacant seat by his hearth. Tlio doctor, despite tho ndvico of his tlders in tho profession, had married too young, and as a consequence, found himself at ill) with a small family upon his hands, and au income somcwliat purrottor and more precarious than ho could have desired. Still ho Was a handsome man, was a great favorite among the ladies, and possessed au ex cellent professional reputation. Under ihese circumstances ambition whispered that it would be very possible for htm to contract a brilliant alliance! to carry off Bomo dashing lady whoso solid charms should allay his pecuniary vex ations; whilo her beauty, her wit and her stylo Bhould make him tho envy of half the town To do the doctor jus tice, ho did not draw on his imagination for all these details; they wore' suggest ed to him rcady-mado in the person of Miss Minerva Hall, a lady whose ap parent ago was 25 or 20. On tho other hand, he know a little cottage just out of town, embowered amid roses and honeysuckles and clumps of evergreens, where dwelt in the retirement of domestic peace and tranquility the solace and joy of a wid owed mother and the pet and idol of the small circle of cultivated and warm hearted people with whom she moved sweet Annie Huntington. Anii'o was gentle and fair-haired; she had noncof the golden graces or sub tle fascinations of her own rival: but she possessed what was better, a refined and educated mind, an amiable disposi tion, and a warm, loving heart. Tho doctor's first wife had been a woman of this stamp quiet and domes tic in her tastes; gentle and affectionate in disposition; and tho doctor had some rather distinct impressions that these same qualities had had much to do with tho hap'.iness of those few years of married life. He was a domestic man; ho loved his home and homo en joyments and homo endearments; yet, nevertheless, Amy bad come to him a portionless bride, and the consequence was he was in debt now, and harrasscd daily for funds. Onod reary November evening the doctor came home from a round of most vexatious professional calls to find tea not ready, the housekeeper cross, tho children in tears. Before tho cloth was scarce removed the children were sent to bed for some trivial misdemean or; and shortly afterward tho house keeper, irritated at somo sharp remark of the doctor's, slammed tho door be hind her and retired to her own room. Th.'B left alono to his own medita tions, tho doctor fell very naturally to soliloquizing, and bis soliloquy took very much tho tone of the dismal rain which beat continually against the windows. "What a miserable life is this to lead! It will bo tho ruin of me and my child ren soon, that is certain. But how to mend it? Tho truth of tho matter is, I ought to marry a fortune. I'm bother ed to death to'day with duns. There's the grocer's bill hasn't hi en paid these six months, and the butcher's bill is about due; ami the interest of tho mort gage on this house must be paid next month. To be sure, with tho right kind of management, all these things could bo put straight in tho courso of time; out a housekeeper at tho head of intern al affairs Nn't like a good wife, I've seen that; neither, I have a slight sus picion, aro all women like Amy. Poor soul! ho was a good wife tome; but then I ought not to have married her when I did. Why couldn't I have wait ed awliilo and not havo plunged myself headlong into I know not what? Well, 'exiieriencQ is a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.' There's Minerva Hall, now that would be a match worth talking about; a oouplo of thous aud at least, I suppose, slui will bring to tho man who is fortunate put ugh to win htr, besides her wit and tho queen ly air she ha. It does ono good to seo hor oouio walking down tho street, head up, and such a bust! and her slender foot fairly scorning tho ground she walks on. They say suoh women aro apt to have a temper, but I think that's all nonsense; besides no man will object to a little spirit of tho right sort. As to her being heartless, that's all non sense too. lively woman has a heart, only every man hasn't tho wit to lay nit nanus upon it. J rust mo to lind tho soft in a woman's lioart. Onoo get your hand wound in unong the heart strinjrs and you can manage tho proudest of them. Now .Minerva lias a sort ot weakness Jor me I know that I've Been it this long time, and on tho whole I don t believe I shall do better than to marry her." Tlio doctor paused, and I think a vis ion iff tin' pretty cottage and its fairer" inmate flitted across his brain, for he grow more deeply pensive, and a gleam of tenderness softened his dark evo, But presently he muttered; 'Pshaw 1 that will never do; sho has no fortune!1' . Things grow ha.y in his brain for awhile, unit then, as if just art ived at a sudden resolution, ho started up, array ed himself for a walk, and went out. When ho eamo back, it was as the af fianced husband of Minerva Hall. A short timo elapsed to tho doctor it seemed very short until sho was brought homo to preside as Mrs. Win throp over his household. It may bo doubted whether, oven on his wedding night, tho doctor felt him self supremely blest; but perhaps tho first real tangible drop of bitterness in his cup was" tasted when ho saw his handsome wife stand before her mirror and divest herself of a magnificent ot1 ot laiso leelli und two or tlueo heavy braids of hair. These sliuht operations. together with tho washing off of u coat ot rougo ami pearl powiler, wrought quite a transformation in tho beautiful Miss Hall. Ono luoruiiiL' shoiilv after Mrs. Wjnthrop was going shopping,' anu uesirou nor nego lorn to supply he with tlul necessary funds. ""I nm extremely sorry,1' replied tlio FRIDAY, MAY 4, doclor blandly, "but reatly, my dear, I haven't tho money by mo this morning," Tho full, red lip, whoso pout during tho courtship had been so bewitching, swelled now in earnest in a wav that Ncasn't half as fascinating, when she satil, "A pvetty reply to inako to my first request for money; doubtless this is only tlm commencement of tho insults which I shall bo called upon to endure." Tho doctor was a hltlo chagrined, and i oiilicd, "Very likely, madam; for when I married you I expected you to find yourself in pin money." "You did, eh!" sho retorted. "So you married mo for my money, did you ? and you have tho impudenco to tell mo of it to my face, too, actually boforo tho honeymoon is over. It is shameful, sir; it is outrageous 1'' Tlio doctor strove to apologize, but tho virago hid tho advantage of him, and she continued to pour out thu tor rent of invectivo long after ho had placed the door between them and was hurrying down tho street. As this scene had commenced at the breakfast table its effects upon the children, who were present, can bo bet ter imagined than described That day tho doctor took tho pains to ascertain tlio amount of Mrs. Winlhrop's "for tune " It turned out to consist in thn interest of twenty-five thousand dollars, which ceased at her death. Subsequent discoveries proved to him that, as tlio result of tho lady's extravagance, her account at tho banker's was usually overdrawn. Tho delightsomeness of tho doctor's evenings at home may bo imagined. Generally his recourse after tea was the newspaper or a book; or if tho house hold atmosphorc was too stormy ho be took himself to a small supper room, which was usually denominated his study. Sitting there ono evening, whilo his wife was entertaining two or three fascinating young friends in the puilor, he heard a timid knock at the door, and his little golden. lnired Amy entered; his first born, hi pet, the namesake of his early love. She led her younger brother by tho hand, and both wore crying. The doctor's heart was touched. By some strange forgctfulness he seemed never, till this moment, to have taken into consideration tho claims of his children in the choice of a stepmother for them. Now. as if in a magic glass, tho enormity of his conduct in this re spect was held up before him. Stretch ing out his hands ho said tenderly: "Come here. Amy darling, and tell mo what grieves you.'' She glided gently into his embrace, and Harry climbed noiselessly to his father's knee. "Please, papa,'' said Amy, timidly, "is tho new mother to be always our mother; or will sho go away, byo-and-bye, as our own mamma did!"' The doctor's eyes filled with tears, and he inquired, with a choking voice: "Why do you ask mo such a question, my dear V "Because, if she is only to stay hero a little while, I will try to bo patient and good till she is gone," replied Amy; "but oh! papa, I hope sho will not be hero always.'1 "Spirit of the gentle, departed Amy! wero thou hovering near, to watch the upwellingof that long slumbering foun tain of parental tenderness 'f Closer, closer to his heart ho held tho dear off riprinu of his youthful love, and asked: "What is it, Amy d.nling: Tell pa pa what tlto new mother has dono." "Oh! it is many things, papa," re plied Amy. "First of all, she don't love mo and Harry. I am sure she don't, for she scolds us so, aud says such cruel things; calls us 'beggar's brats !' Does that mean our own minima?'' "Go on, my dear,'' said the doctor. "What else?" "Then sho makes us out in the nurs qry, vouknow," continued Amy. I'ho doctor's heart reproached him for over having consented to this ar rangement. "Anil she only gives us dry bread and little bits of pio and cake that aro eft, because sho says now that she has been cheated into marrying a beggar, she must be economical." 1'iie doctor thought of a new set of expensive jewelry brought homo that morning, and sighed. "Jiut that is not all nana, hhc strikes us; look theio!" and tlio little one strip. ped up her baby brother's sleeve and showed tho marks upon his arm. And theso were Amy's children. "Ui! tool that 1 was!' groaned tho repentant father. For a half hour lie held thu children on his kneo and comforted them. It made them very happy, for childish sor rows aro easily assuaged, and then tak ing a hand of each ho led them into the nuisery and saw them laid into their iiuet bed; nor did ho leave them till. looked in sweet, childish embrace, they both slept quietly. I'lio next morning there was a scene. It was commenced b,- somo mild re quest of tho doctor's with regard to tho iiursey arrangements; for the doctor had by this tuna learned the fallacy of his old notions respecting the ease with which a spirited femalo may he muiiug ud, and ho now actually dreaded an en counter with Mrs. Dr. Wiuthrop.

Three Ways of Lite. WHAT A SON 1)111 WITH HIS ALLOWANCE. A certain rich man being reminded by tho increasing weight of years that ho would never bo any younger, nnd must ono day go tho way of all flesh, called about him his three hods, whom he thus addruisud : "My children, when I die all I have will be yours, but in addition to the property which I shall divido among you equally I havo a ring in which is set a diamond of great value. This I intend for him who after a twelvo mouth shall have made tho greatest advance toward success, in life. Here, take each ofyoitonoof thoso purses con taining a hundred pieces of silver, go out into thu woild, and at the expiia lion of tlio time prescribed return, that I may judge which among you de serves the prize." Thereupon the sons received their father's blessing, and, taking tho pur ses of silver, went away. But when a year nnd a day wero passed they re turned and presented themselves" be fore their father, and it appeared they had chosen widely different means of gaining a common end. "My father," said tlio eldest, "with a part of the hundred pieces of silver thou gavest me I bought a certificate setting forth my great skill in healing the sick. I cultivated my beard and put on my glasses that I might appear to be a man of learning. I gave out that I was able to curo all known dis eases ; I administered bread pills and sweetened water to all who placed themselves under my care, and as a result I havo gained wealth to tho ex tent of 1000 pieces of gold.'1 "My son," remarked the parent, well pleased, "truly, thy cheek is colossal." "My father," then said tlio second youth, "with thy hundred pieces of silver I purchased votes by which I secured to myself a government con tract. I engaged to transport tho mails for ono thousand pieces of gold per annum, and by exceeding prudence of management I have garnered profits upward of fifteen hundred pieces of gold." "Verily, thy prudeuco is monumen tal,'' exclaimed the delighted father, "but thy brother has not yet spoken." "With one of thy pie'ees of silver, 0 my father" began tho youngest son, "I bought somo tools and became a plumber " "My son, thou pride of mv heart 1" cried tho enraptured old man, falling on ms neck-, whilo tho happy tears coursed down his aged cheeks," "thou needst say no more. Thou hast clear ly shown that thou hast discovered tlio true road to success. It is to thee. without a question, tho ring belongs." omioii i. i.aso nas nicii a bin in TI T- , ., . , ... equity in a Court ot -Common Pleas against tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company, tlio Danville, Ilazleton aud Wilkesbarree, Jacob B.

Contrasting the natural qualities of the Indian with those ho acquires by civilization, he says tho Indian cannot swear unless he learns another language than his own ; in his natural state ho does not steal from his neighbor, and is friendly to tho white man.

RECENTLY IlUVAMl'EI). To tiii: Editor, of the Philadki.imiia Eviinino Tiu.iuikaimi : In a leading edi- torial in your paper of Thursday, April 19. tho crimes of formnr naturalization papers and tax receipts, aud ot their use for political purposes, aro charged unon me. as tbov reneatedlv havo been . ' . ' J 1 by other newspapers, I have borne theso libellous charges in silence as long as my duty to myself and to those who aro to come after me permits. I deny all complicity with, or responsibility lor, any such action by any one. At no time in either my pro fessional or political life havo 1 ever aided, abetted, or knowingly permitted the crimes thus charged upon me. If they were committed during my chair- manship ot tho democratic state com mitteo of Pennsylvania, it was without my knowledgo and in violation or my plainly defined policy as the head of my party. There aro yet living plenty of witnesses who can affirmatively prove my innocenco of these oft-repeated falsehoods. In being silent hitherto, I havo acted on the belief that tho people among whom I livo wore tho best judges of their truth or falsity. Since their ori gin in a heated political campaign, by personal enemy, fifteen years ago, I havo been four times chosen to tho state senate, each timo leading my par ty, and three times nominated andonco elected to tho United States senate. I refer to these as evidence of the opin I ious of the people among whom I dwell as to my personal record. Surely, if I wero a forger and a po litical leper, as eoino newspapers de clare mo, theso things could not havo happened. If Iho public man, whom you say has been au "active, able and industri ous legislator, remains longer silent under theso baseless charges, they will becomu crystallized into political histo ry false an unfounded though they be. Under our political system the pub lic man has much to bear, of ctiticism and injustice from tho political press ; but I trust that tho press will not deny to ono of them who seeks to do his du ty, as ho sues it, to the people of his native state, tho publication of this em- phntio denial of a long endured c umny.
