I can only remember a sunset more goldenly radiant by far than I had ever seen—the faint odor of spring blossoms in the air, and my head bent down to catch the low whispers of the fair lips that were hidden against my beating heart. I think, however, the general pur port was favoiable, for Mrs. Campford— the pretty woman yonder who is wonder ing why I don't oome to breakfast—has never regretted she did not take charge of that school at Elm G-rove. WHY I HATE WOMEN. I am a woman-hater. I have been one eves• since I—bnt no matter what I did. You shall know that presently. Just imagine yourself an experienced man of the world, aged twenty-one and a half years, with plenty of money, and—well, I don't think the ladies consider me very bad-looking. • I date my woman-hating proclivities from the time Miss Emma Talbot was placed under my care, during a trip down the Hudson. She had been staying with her aunt at West Point for several months. Her brother Harry was in the Military Academy, and was one of the gayest and most reckless fellows in the place. It was through him that I became acquaint ed with his sister. She was a lovely blonde, and knew how to show her beauty to the best ad vantage. Of course, I fell in love with her direct ly, and was led to believe that she did nci% dislike me, until she told me of her inten t tion to return to New York, and that her three cousips were coming up to take her back with them. I never saw three such mischief-loving girls. The youngest especially distin guished herself, the day after her arrival, by getting her time-honored aunt on the top of a rock, which could only be reached by a ladder. While her aunt was enjoy ing the view, Kitty accidentally knocked the ladder down, and walked off as un concernedly as if nothing was the matter: It was not until an hour or two after while I was pouring a flood of eloquence in her listening ear, that she started up, inter rupting one of my best metaphors, and exel : t - ,votid , . , r it aunt, Talbot has gone homi. And !-he started off on a run to release the poor woman from her captivity. I had determined to make a form de claration of love on the home trip—not to the imp of mischief, Kitty, but to Emma Talbot ; for !thought I, ' Miss Emma is so desperately in love with me that 1 really must marry the poor thing, or she will go raving crazy. Such things have luippericd.' So, ; fter innumerable Loxes and trunks were safely on board, my beloved Emma promised to go on deck with me. I will here mention that Harry Talbot (who was escorti ig his three cousins) and my peerless Emma were twins, and, as a natural consequence, looked very much alike, the more so as Emma wore her hair in short curls, after the fashion of the present day. Before coming on deck she had some alterations to make in her toilet, so I went up to see if there was any place where I could gain her promise to love and obey me, etc. To my suprise the deck was clear.; so I went back and found her waiting for me ; but was surprised to find her wrapped up with a. thick veil over her face. Kitty was standing near her with such a look of roguery in her eyes that I knew there was mischief going on somewhere, and I offered a mental prayer for the un happy victim of her practic it jokes. requested Emma to take off that un becoming veil, but, before she could answer, Kitty said she had a sudden at tack of the neuralgia, and must keep it on for fear of getting more cold. 1 made no more ado, but took her to the deck.

As soon as the turmoil ceased in some degre3, those little she-devils, Kitty and Emma, came up and offered their congrat ulations ; at which piece of silly nonsense everybody commenced laughing again. The doors and passage-ways were mrowd ed with!servants and waiters, who seemed to enjoy the miserable joke as much as their betters. Harry afterwards told me that Kitty had the next room to Mine at the hotel ; and, as the partitions ware thin, she heard me telling my chum my love secret, and heard him advise me to write the declara tion but on paper in due form. She had managed to get it: but just before the boat landed us, she apologized for taking it, and gave it bank to me, saying, as she did so ; . 1 thought I had better return it, as you might have occasion to nee it again.' Now, reader, do you blame me for hating women Although I cannot help it (and you can see for yourself that there ain't a particle of conceit in my nature) even, I say, if they don't hate in return.

In Maine, a landlord noted for his driving 'sharp bargains,' and whose objeot was always to lease his house for a term of years to a responsible tenant, rented a house in Portland last winter to a diminutive Frenchman. After the leases were drawn' 'and duly executed and the tenant moved into his new quarters, upon kindling fires in the house, it was found that the chimney wouldn't draw,' and the building was filled with smoke. The win dow sashes rattled in the wind at night, and the cold air rushed in through a hun dred orevioes.about,the house until now •unnotioed. The snow melted upon the roof, and the attics were drenched from leas age.

' Next morning he arose bright and early, and, passing down, he encountered the landlord. Ah ha ! — Bonjour, Monsieur,' said he, in his happiest manner. Good day, sir.

Nothing. is more melancholy, particularly to a person who has to pass mach time in his room, than bleak walls and nothing on them, for pictures are loop holes of escape for the soul, leading to oth er scenes and' spheres. It is such an in expressible relief to's portion engaged in writing or even reading, on looking up not to have his line of vision chopped off by an odious white wall, but find his soul escap ing as it were, through the frame of an ex quisite picture, to other beautiful, and, perhaps; heavenly scenes; where the' fancy for a moment may revel, refreshed and de lighted. Thus, pictures are consolers of loneliness ; they are a relief to a jaded ' mind ; they are windows to the imprisoned thotight ; they are books, they are histories and sermons, which we can read without the trouble of turning over the leaves. A GOOD JOKE. -A loafer, while stop ping at a tavern up the country, used to lounge about the bar and drink other peo ple's liquor. Not a glass could be left alone for a moment, but he would slip up and drink its entire contents. One day a stage driver came in, and called for a stiff horn of brandy toddy. Jehu immediately played possum byleaving his brandy while he-stepped 'to the door. The bait took. On returning he saw his glass empiy, and exolaimed with all the diabolical horror he could effect: • Brandy and opium enough to kill forty men ! Who drank that p'zen I !' stammered the loafer, ready to give up the ghost with affright. - You area dead man ! said the driver. What shall I do?' beseeched the other, who thought himself a gone quaker. Down with a pint of lamp oil, or you're a dead man in three minutes!' answered the wicked driver. And down went the lamp oil, and up came the brandy and opium, together with his breakfast. The joke was told and he has never drank other people's liquor since.

QGBIETIIING NEWS 0 THE PATENT STAMP-SEALING AND POST-MARA KLEMM:VINO ENVELOPE The preeervation on the letter itself of the POST—MARK and POSTAGE—STAMP, generally destroyed with the de tached cover, has long been deemed a matter of the first importance. This desideratum is now triumphantly secured by this ingenious invention. Many obvious advantages must arise from the general use of this envelope. First,—.lncreased Safety by additional sealing; the stamp connecting the envelope and letter securely together; and this is never liable to be omitted, though the sticking of the flap is frequently neglected or imperfectly done. Second—Security against Impertinent Intrusion • the letter and envelope being firmly attached by the stamps, and incloeure cannot be inspected even if the flap be clan destinely opened. Third—Safety against Abstraction of Valuable Inclo sures. If the flap be left unsealed, or opened with feloni ous Intent, it will be impossible to open the letter and take thence bank notes and drafts without so mutilating the envelope as to insuie detection. Fourth—Security for the free payment of the Postage; an the stamp, when once properly placed in this window, cannot be removed without its destruction. IVM—Advantage therefore to the Government; by the effectual destruction of every stamp in its first use. Sixth—Facility to tho Post atom Dperations; by a uni form location of the stamp In the npper sight hand corner, which is the moat convenient petition for the -Reit Office mark. Seventh—Verifitation of the Mailing by securing on i on the letter itself the legal evidence of the time and place of it being mailed. This hue long been esteemed so desirable, that many prudent persons are constrained to dispense with the use of envelopes, that they may have the poet mark on the letter; and ethers take the precaution to pin the envelope again on the letter for Identification. Eighth—Oertainty of the Date and Place-lin the Letter, which are an frequently omitted by writers in carelessness or hurry.' • Ninth—Onnunentation • which, though some may think of small importance, cert ainly meets the approval of all persons of taste.
