Hul, I believe you are twenty-three to-day are you not? . ‘Exactly;' and the young mail leaned carelessly back from the table, and indolently picked his teeth. They lived atone together, he and his father. His mother hud been dead for several years, and he was an Only son. *lt Is full time you were married, Hal. Don’t you think so ?’ continued bis father. ‘Well yes, I suppose so. though I am in no hurry at all.’ ‘Weil. I say it’s time you were! mar ried. You win go »n.ruin surely, If you don’t have some woman to ioiik out for you pretty soon. I suppose you’ve got your eye on some pretty girl, bavn’t you, eh?’ ‘No. I can’t say that I have. I’ve flirted with a good many girls In ray short day, hut have come out heart-whole and fancy free.’ ‘Well, you must fix upon somebody at once. Let us- think over the eligible young ladies of your acquaintance. Of course she ihuat be rich,’. •Ami handsome/ put in young Hal. ‘O yes, handsome, .ot course. Now there is Miss Higgins.. She is worth a cool hundred thousand In her own right. ‘Ami you cal! her. handsome, do you ? with her long nose, sallow face, and thirty years. Don’t mention her again.’ and the young man’s face woie a very disgusted expression: •Well, theie Is Miss Weeden. Her father Is worth half a million, and, of course, she'll receive mar riage portion.’ •Yes, and she wears lalse teeth, and simpers to the young, men. She won’t do at all.’ m ‘Well, there is'Miss Withers. She is sole heiress to all her uncle’s property, as much as two hundred thousand, and it Isu’tany way likely the old man will live long. And I’m surb she is a very line-looking young lady.’ •Fine looking! She weighs two hun dred, if she does a pound. No, sir, you don’t get me tied to her.’ •Now I must say, you are a hard chap to suit,’ said old Air. Martin, ‘if you expect to get a perfect beauty and au heiress too, I’m afraid you’ll miss your calculation. Well, what do you say to Edna Green? Site’s got a snug little property, »>r will have one of these days. Isn’t quite us rich as Miss Withers, but as to that will do very well. Now you cant flml a fault with her looks. She’s us pretty as a new blown rose.’ ‘She Is pretty enough. I’ll Hal, ‘but she is undeniably flat. I never could endure her insipid ways. I should hang mysell In less than a week*’ ’ ‘Well,’ said the old .gentlemen in de spair, ‘l’m dbcouraged of trying to suit ym. Oh, by the way, I have It now. There is old'Judge Lincoln’s daughter, little Emma Lincoln. If she doesn’t suit, I shall give up entirely, and leave you to your own advices.’ •Emma Lincoln, Emma Lincoln, 1 said the young man musingly. ’Oh I remember her. She spent one season in town, I believe, with the Morley’s. .Her father resides at his country-seat the year round, doesn’t he?’ ‘Yes, und he is as rich as Croesus I think. She’s the only daughter—l tell you wlmt, Hal, there’s the chance for you. What do you say? I’m well ac quainted with the Judge. He’s one of my old friends. I cun introduce you there,’ *l’U think of it,’ said Hal, coolly. ‘l’ll give you Just live minutes to make up your mind,’ said Mr. Martin, taking out his watch. •How you do hurry a fellow. Let’s see she is pretty and I believe quiet. I’m not at all acquainted with her, but I remember she didn’t put on airs: she conversed very prettily, and danced and played well.’ The young man fell into a fit of silent musing ‘Time’s up,’ sung out Mr. Martin, with energy. ‘Well, father, I guess I’ll have her, that is, if l ean get her. .’No trouble about that in the least. I’iLmake it all straight with the judge, and you may settle matters with the girl yourself.’ ■ *1 don’t want to have anything to do with it. It’s burdensome. If you can make'the proposal yourself, and the judge and. the girl are both willing, why Uieu I’m ready to get married, but D shall let it drop right here. * ‘You lazy scamp,’ sold Mr. Martin. ‘I wonder you cun take the trouble to breath. Weil, I’ll see what can bo doue about it. Judge Lincoln was sitting in hfci luxu rious parlor one evening when a letter was handed him by the servant. He read it, with a curlgus expression of sur prise and sutislauiiou, uud, a moment alter, sent for his daughter to come to him. A pretty little creature was Emma Lincoln.

BY CONTENT WHPPLE. CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 1870. 'f- • , andlhus she could boost of sound lungs, and of excellent health and spirits, qualities which are not always possessed by city belles* 'Emma,' said the old judge, as his daughter entered, ‘did. you ever see young Hal Martin ?’ ‘ *1 believe I met him once or twice when I was in town,’, said the girl, growing a shade rosier. ‘Why do you ask, papa? 1 ‘How did you like him?’ querred her father, without noticing her question. ‘He appeared very gentlemanly; but I did not become much acquainted with him, 7 said Emma, evincing still more embarrassment. The truth was, Hal Martin had been Emma’s beau ideal of manly excellence since she met in the city, and though, us she said, she did not become much ac quainted with him, yet lie had a more prominent place in her mind lima she. herself was aware of. Her mother was not living and her father had always been so exclusive that site had msde the acquaintance of but few gentlemen In her life. Her season in the city was an era in her eventful existence, something for her to think of, and handsome Hal Mar* (in was (he most prominent feature in her thought.' She had scarcely heard 'bis name mentioned 8in M e. and it was not strange that her heart should beat a little quicker at her father's unexpected and abrupt questioning. ‘1 have just had u letter from this young man’s father,’ said the judge, ‘and lie asks your hand for his son in marriage.’ - *My . band,’ gasped Emma, sinking into a seat; ‘what do you mean, papa?’ •Just what , I say. Young Martin wants to marry-you.' this letter.’ • 4 Emma took the letter, and tried to read It. but a blur came before her eyes; and she could see nothing but the words 'My son—vour.daughier,’ and his name, 'Aubrey -Martin,’ She handed it buck in sHeuce. ‘What do you say to it, little girl ?’ asked her father. ‘I don’t know, papa; it is very unex pected. ’ ‘I should think so—l should think so,’ said the judge, chuckling and rubbing his'hamls. 'Old Martin is worth no less than a hundred thousand, at the least calculation ; and that son of his is worth another hundred thousand in ids own right so I’ve been told. I don’t know anything against the young man.- He’s probably rather wild, like other fellows, but a wife will goon cure him of tliut tendency. \Vbat do you say, Emma? Shall I invite theyouug scape-grace here on a visit ?’ • -•• 'Just as you p ease, papa,’said Emma; her heart beating wildly. Accordingly the judge penned a few lines, to the etlect that he would consider Mr. Martin’s propusiliun, and meanwhile he. should be happy to see the young man at his residence. ‘Hang it all!’ said Hal; 'I don’t want to go d .wn there a courting- In. ail probability, I shall get sick of the girl, if 1 see her very often,’ ‘A pretty idea, that,’ said his father.— ‘What do you expect to do when you are married to her?’ 'O, well, I can do as then, and shan’t have to talk sentimental nonsense all the time; und if I begin. to get ennuied, I can leave, you-see. Bm before a fellow is married, he has to carry himself pretty straight,, or.he*ll get a walking-ticket.’ 'Well, there is no help for it, as I see. You have had an invitation to go (here, and you must accept it, or it will be all up with you. A** for the girl, she is every rl tf ht r aud If you don't nuve good success, it will be your own fault.’ So the next day saw Hal Martin en route for Lincoln villa. . My readers must not form too poor an opinion of our hero from his conversation. ;He was really u noble-soiiied young man, but was almost spoiled by being a great favorite with everbody, and having liuune load vise him judiciously. Biraugo to say | he had never been iu love. He liked the society of the ladies and some, limes would be partial to one for a while, and uomelfmes to another. But all. that he hud ever much acquaintance wi’h, were so frivolous that he soon wearied ui them. Ho supposed, of course, he must get married, and as his experi ence hud taught him that an Intimate acquaintance with young ladies caused one to dislike them life thought the bet-. ter way would be to marry some one wbos*- appearance pleased him, without becoming very intimate with her. After that he supposed that he should get along about as otner people did. Hal’s life of wealth and luxury had not developed any very strong trails in his character. He hud never thought very deeply, because he had nevi r been obliged to, and he was as yet entirely unconicious of his own. powers and capabilities. He was received by Judge Lincoln very cordially, and by the daughter with a blushing tinfidity, which he could not hut admire, ami bis gentlemanly deport ment, and honest, open manner, won him the judge’s good will at once. The wooing was not a protracted one. Hal mode a very pretty speech to.EtEK* urn, made his proposal to her father, and learned her answer through him; and then kissing his promised bride g> od bye, and bolding her band in liU for a little minute, betook his departure, to prepare for the coming nuptials, Emma did not feel quite satisfied. Somehow it did not seem as she hud im- agined it would to be engaged. Hal bud not even told her that he loved her; in- deed, hud hardly adverted to the engage ment. Itnvas a regular business ’ affair, and.not at all suited to her mind. Still there was a strange novelty about it* Hal had always been her hero; she al- most worshipped him now in- this new character, and the thought of being his wile was bliss incomparable. If she could have been sure that he really loved her, she would have been entirely happy. But a doubt.of that found place in heart, and sbo could not feel at ease. Preparations went on for a grand wed ding. Hal made.dying visits to Lincoln villa once or twice every week; and though Emma looked forward to his coin- lug, each time with wild delight, and would always hope for some token that his love was equal to hers, she always felt a vague disappointment after he left; for his pleasant, good-natured indifference never satisfied her. The important day at length arrived. Hal was in the best ol humor, but his little bride, with her wildly beating heart, felt an inward excitement that be could not possibly have understood. The ceremony was over, the congratu lations received, and the grand wedding paused ott‘ with the greatest eclat . Hal, smiling aud good-natured, was pro* nounced by his chums us an * exceeding ly lucky fellow,' uud Emma was regard ed with feelings of the deepest envy by the yougg ladies, who had exerted all their fascinations to the tusn of 'winning Hal Marlin. Alter a wedding trip to the White Mountains, the happy coupleseltled down lo housekeeping in ah elegant mansion :m Fifth uyeuue. With u splendid for- young, handsome :une between them. uud admired, their society was, of course, eagerly sought after by all, and a round of bulls and festivities followed in rapid succession, in which they must, of course, participate. Emma would have liked far better to stay at home with her hus band in quiet, hut Hal enjoyed going, so she, of course, acquiesced. . On evenings when there was no party to which site was invlud, Hal would go away to meet with some of his old asso ciates aud leave her aioue. Several weeks hud passed away, aud as yet si e had not hud one whole evening of her husband's society alone. Hal was not unkina, hut he was indif ferent. Hq did notdreuniol the treasure of love stored away lor him in the heart ol his little wile. He judged her feelings by his ow u, lor she Was an undemonstra tive Utile body, uud was not given to telling just how she felt. One evening Hal was preparing to go out, wheu he felt a little soft hand laid on life* Looking up, he encountered a pair or wistful brown eyes belonging to his wife. ‘Are you going out to-night, Hal ?* she asked timidly. 11 thought I should. Don’t you want me to go?* , ‘Certainly, If you can enjoy yourself betie • than at homo. But, do you know, Hat, I don’t hardly feel as if I was mar ried, I see so little of you,’ and a moisture gathered in the sweet brown eyes. It suddenly occurred to Hul that per haps his wile missed him when he .was away so much. He had hardly thought of U before, and be /elt a little pang of self-reproach. 'I declare, I wouldn’t go this evening,* said he, 1 it I hadn’t promised the fellows I’d be there. I’ll stay at hi me with you some time. You won’t mind it this evening, will you?’ ' You must go, by all means, If you hftve promised,’ said Emma. ‘IfI am somewhat lonesome, I can get along I guess. 1 She brought biro bis but. and brushed of! u little dust that was on ills emit, and us be started to go, she drew her little soft arms around his neck, drew, bis face iliMvn tobers, and kissed him. It was the first time she bad ou?’ said Emma, delighted. I had a great deal rather stay at home than go.’ And so they stayed at home and en joyed each other’s society. They did their courting after they were married. Years passed away, and Hal Martin had never ceased to be a lover, and Em- ma never ceased her efforts to retain bis affection. The little ones that were given them served to increase the union between them, and nothing ever bad power to mar the. harmony and confidence be- tween them The Count and the Dove.—l re member having read some time ago a beautiful story of Count Zinzindorf, when a boy. He was, as I dare say you know, a great Qerm-iu noble, and lived to do a great deal of good In the world. One day when ho was playing with his hoop near the banks pi a deep river which flowed outside the walls of a castle where be lived, he espied a dove strug gling In the water. By some means the poor creature hud fallen into the river and was unable to escape. The little Count immediately rolled a large, wash lug-tub which hud been left near to the water’s edge, jumped into It, and though generally very timid on the water, by the aid of a stick he managed to steer himself across the river to the place where the dove lay floating and strug gling. With the bird iu his arms be gui ded the tub back, and got safely to land. After warming the little captive tender-, ly in bis bosom, the boy run with it into the woods anil set It free. His mother who had watched the whole transaction iu trembling anxiety from her bedroom window, now came out. 'But were you not ulraid 7’sheasked. 'Yes, I wus rather,* .he answered ; ‘but I could not bear that it should-’die so. You know, mother, its little ones might have been watching for It to come home.' A SuspkSwus Irishman.—A raw Irish man, Just over, went into a restaurant, aud was asked by the waiter whgt he would have. ‘Why, something to ate, av coorae/ was the reply. A plate of hash was placed before him. 'Ful's thutv’ demanded lie. 'That's wittles,’ wua the answer. Ho eyed the*compound suspiciously for some time, and finally exclaimed ; 'Be jubers, tho man that chawed that can Just ate it.’ THE FATAL CHOICE. A WARNING TO YOUNG LADIES. Ella Graham was the only living child of Mr. Charles Graham, a well-to-do farm er living in the outskirts of the thriving village B , in tl)e Bta‘e of the once famous blue laws and wooden nutmegs— Connecticut. Mr. Graham, as it was perfectly natural that he should, reali zing that she was the only daughterout of three that had been vouchsafed to him by the goodness of the heavenly Fattier, And spared no pains to give her n fin ished education, to fit her for ail the du ties of .an active life* At the time our story opens, or rather a short time before,* she bad graduated with the highest hon ors, fiom oueof the beat Institutes in the titute. While Ella was at schooi, and about a year before she finished her education, she, at u party given by the family with whom she hoarded, met and formed the acquaintance of a young man of undoubt ed good character and estimable worth, a head clerk with a salary of fifteen hun dred dollars, in one of the first firms in the city of Elms. Ella Graham, the moment her eyes be held the manly face and genteel form of Edward Gray, JoveiTbim with true wo manly Jove, and resolved in her own mind to do her best to win his affections, and in 'this she was successful, as the reader will ere long learn. Edward Gray, wasaiso very much pleased, and we might us well soy captivated, by the beuuiy, goodness, and purity of Ella .Graham,, and resolved that not a stone would he leave uniurned until shewasliis, wife, firmly believing she was really the. one calculated to make bis future life one of joy and happiness. Long before Ella Graham had returned home with her highly classical education, so much hud they been together that she begun to look upon Edward Gray as truly her future husband. His handsome and Intellectual physiognomy,. along with u highly cultivated mind—equal in every . respect to her own—had the wonderlul | effect of taking her heart by storm, ana brought her an easy captive at bis feet. Edward Gray, in the meantime, loved her as passionately and us fondly us she did him, and yet for some unexplained reason, Edward had never told Elia of Ms deep and abiding love for her. A bushfuluess or a fear (hut he would be re jected, prcyenicd. him from duiug it, which truly verifies the old adage that “faint heart ne’er won fair lady.” Thus .matters stood when Ella Graham return ed to her home, after having finished her education. But it must not be supposed for a single moment that, after Ella’s re turn ward Gray did not see her be so fondly Joved, for be did meet her often after that, and many a. loving con fab had they together beneath, the viue clud porch ob the old homestead. And every such time Edward would say to himself: ‘Now I will certainly tell her before I go home how much I love her and how very dear she is to me, and ask her to be mine, for I am very sure if ac tions are any indication and I can read them aright, that she truly loves me. 5 But this resolution so firmly made, was never put in force, or least, nob. until it wap too luie for him to mukeamends for his tardiness, when a short confession o' his love, and a ‘ will you be mine?' wou have secured him one of the best wives. But deluysare dangerous, and so it prov ed in this instance, for about this time, and when Edward Gray was putting off the time of proposing much longer than he should under the circumstances, there appeared iii th** village of B-r*-, a young man whom Madame Rumor reported us immensely wealthy, ami whose acquain tance she soon made* The name of this new comer and reported young man of wealth, was Henry Diston, an assumed name, however, as it afterwards proved to the villagers of B , who were very anxious to make bis acquaintance,' es pecially those who hud marrlugabie daughters on band, and whom they wished to see marry well aud prosper in life, as they thought they would, could they only marry this wealthy young man us they thought him; by his ostentatious display of money and jewelry that he exhibited upon his person. His reported wealth was all a myth, started by him self, won for him, as he well knewit would, u host of frieuds who. introduced him among the first /families of -the village. . In a short time he became the Ijon of the town, and many a match-making mother und father did their best to se cure him for a future sou-in-law; and not until tbey beheld him make frequent visits to Farmer Graham, did they give up all hope of catching him, well know ing that the beautiful Ella, with her ready wit, fascinating powers and pleas* ing address, wou'dbe the victorious oue id Hie end. Better would it have been t>hat tbey hud not met, or if Edward Gray hud asked ner to become his wife before this city bred dandy had made his appearance at the cottage of Farmer Gra ham, who like many others, was led • as tray by the smooth tongue aud assumed polished manners of the gambler, us he afterwaids proved himself to be. Mr.aud Mrs. Graham wereso well pleas ed with the appearance of Henry Diston,, and believing him wealthy, aud withal a far more suitable match for their daugh ter than‘honest, hard-working Edward Gray would be, with his fifteen hundred ' a year, did all they could to . make him a frequent visitor at their house, in the 1 There was hone that he would become enamored . witu their daughter, and offer his heart aud hand iu mariiage. Ami in this-they were not .disappointed, for Elia, like moat all young women who like to marry well and Jive in fine style, fell deely in love with Mr. Henry Liston, forgetting her old flame almost.as quick as she hud learned to love, aud when Dlston offered his hand in marriage, as he did soon af ter acquaintance, she laid her head lov ingly upon his breast and softly whis pered, 4 Yes, yours till death.’ Not having a very strong desire to see again the one with she had been fora long time on the most Intimate terms, and to whom she had now proved inconstant, she sat down and penned him a short note, the purport of which 1 shall not here, give, but sulllce it say, that it informed him of the sudden change iu her mind, and that he must not see her again, nor think of her any more than us a friend, as she was engaged lo bo mar ried to a wealthy Now York gentleman in the Fall. The shock fell like a thunderbolt upon Edward Gray; and at the first, reading of the note be could not believe that it was possible for him to do as she wished ; but when he remembered that he had no par ticular claim upon her, ho could not really blame her for what she bud done, but rather blamed himself for so long de laying a step ’which might have made him happy. We will now leave him for a while, and turn our attention to Mr. Henry Liston, and see what had become of him. To the great joy of all interested, about four months alter their engagement he became the husband of Ella Graham. Most of Ella’s moat devoted friends en vied her gmkl luck and fortune iu thus securing so wealthy a husband. A few weeks were spent iu visiting seveiuTpluces of note, much to the de light and enjoyment of Ella, who bad not seen much of the world outside of per native village. Returning home af ter about six weeks' absence, lor a few days rest, they bade home and friends an affectionate adue, and look their de parture for New York, where he could jetter ply the vocations of his art—that of gambling, wilb other vile companions, strangers who came to the city on busi ness or pleasure. They took a mansion on Fifth Avenue, which was fitted up in the most princely style, and, which he iuformed-his wife— who believed all hesald —was his, besides quite a large fortune iu gold, placed to nis credit in one of the Wall street bunks. Weeks of uninterrupted enjoyment aped on, and Ella wrote home, informing her loving parents that she was Just the VOL. 57.—N0. 9. happiest mortal living, bo much did her dear Henry do to please her, and make home pleasant and her life a happy one. It never occurred to her fora single in stant that she was the wife of a profes sional gambler and thieving blackleg and that all she bad to wear and spent belonged to those whom he had. robbed. But there was an end to this'at lust; all great rogues have their day, anc Henry Diston, alias Clayton, had his. Late one aUerooou Ella, who was seat ed alone in a little sitting-room adjoining the dining room, reading a novel, was aroused from the perusal of her book by the sudden entrance©! two police officers, demanding the Whereabouts of him she * call husband. ‘I know not,* was the quick reply, turning deadly pale, as well as she. might. * Know you not where ho is ?’ said one, oppronching her, and wearing a look the most savage, with' evident intention of fiightuing her into telling all she knew about her husband’s whereabouts. But this she could not do, as she bad not seen him since morning, and supposed of course, that lie was down .town on btml ness, and she told them, begging I hat they would inform her what it all meant, Unit the. police were in search of her husband. ‘ My deni* lady,’said the officer near est her, .* are you not aware that your husband is one of the most adroit professional gambltrs aud thieves that ufest this city ?’ * Is It possible?’said Ella, now thor oughly frightened, ‘.that what you say of Henry Diston is true.’ ‘lt Is my dear lady ; but Henry Diston is not his true name.’ * Tis the only one by which I over heard him called.’ ‘ That niay be, uo doubt it is, but he has several more; his true name, how ever, is JSamuel Foster, and a greater ras cal never set foot on earth than he.’ 'Ob, sir, 1 cannot, cannot believe,’said Elia, wringing her hands and weeping as though her heart would break, * that , what you any of him ia true. It don’t seem possible that one whd hgs been' so good and kind to me since we were mar ried, ami before, could be guilty of sucb crimes as* are laid to him.’ .* My dear lady; it la true, ev«ry word itanu to-day he lias succeeded in robbing a gentleman of several thousand dol lars, first'knocking him down, then after robbing, leaving him for dead, and this is what brings us into your presence to-tNy; for a criminal like him must no longer be Buttered to go at large, w© must ex* amine the premises/ Ella again commenced wringing her hands and Bobbing bitterly.. The search ing of the house having now been fin ished the officers betook themselves to bunt for the cmhina), who, ere th? sbadesof evening hud deepened into the darkest gloom of night, was found in one of the vilest dens.in the city, gambling away hislll-gotteu gains. He was speedily brought before, the courts, tried, found guilty under two in dictments, and received sentence for both consigning him to the State prision at Sing Sing for the period of forty years, a Just sentence for a noted vllilan. The beautiful 'with all its costly furniture and splendid paintings, went to satisfy the Just demands of those whom be had robbed. And Ella, with hardly,enough money to pay her passage, returned to the home of her. parents in B , a complete wreck of her former self, so broken down was she both in body and spirit. A divorce was applied for, and speedily granted, and Ella Gra ham was freed forever from’ the villain that called her by the dear name of wife. Edward Gray, after receiving the note wiiioh informed him of her engagement with Henry Diston, still worked on as though nothing, apparently; had happen ed to mar his dream of a bJissfuUife with her he so truly loved. Ju a couple of years he removed from his native village to the far West, where he accumulated quire a handsome property, and married a most worthy young Judy, Removing soon after to the city, of Cleveland they commenced life.under the most prosper ous circumstances. And to-day no hap pier couple are living than Edward Gray, and his loving companion, who does her best to make the home of her truly noble husband happy. That Ella Graham could have hud such a home none need to doubt..for, hud she wailed but a littie longer, Edward Gray would have asked her. to be his. But, as it is often the cast with most, and 1 might say with all girls who like to marry wealthy men,'she en gaged and man led herself tooue of whom she kiiewn othing, but learnt, when too lute to mukeuchange, that in herhasle to marry she had wedded a viHiuu of the deepest dye. Ella Graham is no lofiger among the living. She ended her life a time since, and I have written this short shortand truthful sketchof her life to warn those young ladles who read it, and are not yet married, not to throw themselves away upon young men of repuled/weaith and doubtful character, without first knowing something of their former his tory; for if they d», misery will certainly be theirs, as it was hers whose short his tory you have just read. op Ventilation. —The usual modes of warmiug buildings are attended by many evils, which directly effect the health and lives of our. families, who are obliged to remain within doors by far the greater part of the time. The entire ab aence of the means of ventilation iii most coses, and the failures which have fol lowed most attempts in tills direction, make the subject one of the most vital importance. Bud air is a slow poison ; that is the trouble. People go on taking it into their lungs day after day and night after night. They grow pale, theirlungs suffer, the circulation is languid, they take colds readily; the chest, the stom ach, the skin become disordered, and n lost of chronic diseases attack them little carbolic acid taken every day does not kill a map.

When a thing is only a slow poison, the age is In too much a hurry to attend to it. Thousands of dollars are lavished on luxuries and superfluities, while the air in our dwellings Is poisoned and burnt by heating arrangements whose only recommendation is that they are cheap. In other words, our wealthiest men are (oo poor io afford pure air for themselves and families. The vital life-element is supplied in their green-houses and con servatories regardless of expense, while scions of the human stock, buds and blossoms of immortality, are permitted to wither and decay in the sickly atmos phere produced by stoves and hot air furnaces* Eggs have two advantages overall other animal (boil.

General Von Moltke, the ChiefStaffof the Prussian forces, was born in .Meck lenburg in the year 1800. His father was an array officer. He waieducntud nt the military school of Copenhagen, and en tered into tbo service of Denmark. But afterward when the annexation of Bchelswig-Holstein, where hia father owned property, was under considera tion, he accepted the German side of the dispute and took service with Prussia in 1822, gradually rising to a position in the stuff ten years later. Shortly afterward he.visited Turkey, and was invited by the- Sultan.to assist In the efforts that mon arch was then making to-improue the military. standing of the Turkish army by the Introduction of European reforms\ He seems to have been engaged in the service of different States for several years subsequently. It was not until 1858 that he acquired his present positltn in Piussia. He.published a report of the Austro- Italian war in 1859, with reference to a >lan of an expedition which he had pro moted ; but he states the rapid move ments of the French Emperor, who had im army that *• he coiild rely on,” ren- dered his plan nugatory. ..When at length the b’chelswig-Holstein question developed Into a war, his services under Prince Frederick Charles, commanding the allies against Denmark, were of tho greatest service. His highest abilities were, however,, not exhibited until the breaking out of tho war between Prussia and Austria. HU knowledge of technical detail' and the science of war enabled him to take part in drawing up with Bismarck the plan of that wonderfully surceasful campaign, nnd'he expressed himself as never lor a moment lacking confidence in U. Ho took a personal part in the battle ofSadowa. and arranged the sub sequent negneiations which resulted in peace. Prussia has thorough conlidenco in his abilities,, and he shares with her great War Minister a hold on the popu lar heart, although personally reserved almost tn taciturnity, and devoted to the study of. her favorite science, his writ ings upon which are of great and recog nized'value. GENERAL VON ROON. General Albrecht Von Roon, born in 1803 in Pomerania, is regarded as tbe father .of the present military system of Prussia. He encountered extraordinary difficulties in creating a military people and a 1 strong army from what , was left after the wars of the first Napoleon. It lafo hls skill that the changes are due to which are attributed the present status of the Prussian soldiers, so incomparably superior to those who were vanished at Jena. He is a Martinet in manners and appearance, and . bus a reputation us a writer, chiefly in the preparaiton of mil itary manuals and “hand books for officers. n CROWN, PRINCE FREDERICK WILLIAM: Prince Frederick William is Inspector of the First Division of the army, and holds other military appointments. On the 25th rtf January, 1858, he married the Princess Victoria, the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria. Havin'/ been made a General in 1861, he commanded the Prussians in the campaign against the Danes, and proved by his strategical operations and before the ihtrenchmeuts at Dappel that, with advancing years, ho had learned to con trol the rashness of his temper by pru dence and artful combination, and not only to make a bravo'attack, but also patiently to prepare Its success. XiivE and be Happy.— lt Is the easiest thing in the world to be.happy if men and women would only think so.. Hap piness is only another name for love ; for where love exists in a household there happiness must also exist, even though It has poverty? for a close companion. Where love exists not, even though It be in a palace happiness can never come. He was a cold and selfish being who or iginated. the saying that when Poverty come* In at the door, Lovefliesout at the window and his assertion proves con clusively that he had no knowledge of love, for unquestionably, the reverse, of the axiom quoted is nearer the truth. When poverty comes in at the door; Jove, true love, is more than ever inciln eu to tarry, and to buttle with the enemy. Let those wiio imagine themselves mis erable, before they find fault with their surroundings,.search in their own hearts for the true cause. A few kind words, or a lil,tle forbearance, will often open the. way to a flood of sunshine In a house darkened by the clouds of discord and u'namiabillty. A young mama, ou the important oc casion of making her little boy his first pair of trousers, conceived the idea that it would be more economical to make them of the same dimensions behind and before, so that they might he changed about and wear evenly. Their effect, when donned by the little fellow, was very ridiculous. Papa, at first sight of. the baggy garment, burst into a Tear of c laughter, and exclaimed. ‘Oh, my dear, how could you have the heart to do it? Why, the poor little fellow won’t know whether he’s going to school or coming hom^.’ Joan BiLLiNGScharges a cat with being a ‘krltter that, Is guilty of ‘affeclashun*’ ,1 have known it tu kloan the kream all oph from the buzzum of a pan of milk, and then limp into the sitting-room, on all four legs, and lay down In the korner of the fireplace, as raelankollj as though she hadn’t a friend on the face of the earth.’ A teacher wishing toexblain to u littto girl tlie manner In which a lobster casts its shell When it has out-grown it, said, .'what do you do when you have out grown your clothes ?

A lunatic in a New England town was discovered one day last week at the grave of his father In thecemetery, having dug to the collin.

A gallant was lately sitting beside his beloved, and being unable to have anything to say, asked her why she was like a tapor. ‘I don’t know,’said she, wlih pouting lip, ‘unless it's because I'm sitting beside a goose.’ ‘Dad, have you been to the museum ?' said a ten year old boy. ‘No my son.’— ‘Weil go, and mention my name to the doorkeeper, and he’ll take you round and sho v you everything.’ -'There are two reasons why some peo ple don't mind their own business.
