OUGHT I NOT TO HATE DONE IT?
. I knoW that tliere• are many cold
blooded and obtrusively' moral pen:
ple who Would have called it a cruel
and a iriminal act,-yet I cannot helli
regretting that I did -not do it. 1.
doubt if any court of justice, in view
of My extreme provocation, would
have found me guilty of anything
worse than justifiable, temporary in
sanity; and:l am confident that all
right minded men, after hearing the
story of my wrongs, will fully agree
with me that I ought to have done it.
The circumstances of the affair
cannot be presented in all their enor
mity unless the peculiar relation in
which I stood toward Dick Farrell is
first fully understood. It will there
fore, be necessary to go back to the
period of my first acquaintance with
that individual. I met *him iu this
wise: Undoubtedly you remember
the rocky ravine NI which is situ(ited
the town of Jean. de Maurienhei
formerly the terminus on this side of
Mt. Cenis on the railway from Paris
to Turin. I had reached this place
one morning on my way to Italy, and
found that owing to some accidental
delay, no diligence would start to
cross the mountain till evening. Con
sequently, having
: several hours at
my disposal, I -devoted them to an
exploration of the- valley, and finally
attempted to climb np the steep . face
of the northern side of the ravine.
Now, I had never been goo 4
climb
er, even illy bbyliood, and, as I
WWI at that thinynore than-- : well, I
was in the prime of manhood, at all
events—l ought to have known bet
ter than to have made the attempt.
However, I did not know better, and
-so laboriously climbed up the preci
pice, until I found myself on a nar
row ledge, where further progress
upward became impossible. To my
great annoyance, I found, too, that I
could_net retrace my steps, since any
attempt to look down in the valley,
which lay two hundred feet below,
ina,le me excessively giday. : At this
distance -of time lam willing-to con
fess that I was decidedly frightened,
as I thought of the probability of my
remaininga hopeless prisoner, stsrvH

acted upon this ideii, than -the entire
population of 6t. Jean appeared to
beeome simultaneously aware of my

the precipice to watch my anxiously-
expected fall. Owing either to their
natural stupidity, or to their reluc

these people did not make the slight

they had 'waited two hours 111 the

I was about to resign myself to de

to clamber down the rock, when I
was delighted by, the' re-appearance
of the young man, who lauded sud

down by a rope from the. top of the
precipice.
"Now, old boy," he remarked;
with indecent familiarity, as he Un
fastened the rope from abouthis
waist, " let me just fasten this around

After we reached Rollie,' as''lVlll3
quite natural; :we ,saw a good deal of
each other. It pa happened that we
one day visited the Catacombs' of St.
Caßatas. The.guide who was with
us was explaining the skeletons and
things with great ,apparent' elo

remarks to me with comments- and
additions of his own, when we wine
upon another party, consisting: of 'a
middle aged ler daughter, and;
of course, their guide. As . they were
evidently Americans, we stopped and
conversed f a few-moments with there,
ultimately accepted their invitation
to accompany them , through the rest
of the catacombs—Dick escorting the
mother, while I walked by the side
of her pretty daughter.
Pretty is just the word wliich des-.

ner. We therefore rapidly became
as familiar as old' acquanataiices•
and presently, while Dick, with his.
accustomed impudenes was giving
the okl,lady P. history of the cats-
combs—of which I am certain that
he knew absolutely nothing—the
daughter drew close to me and whis-
pored:

it. The girlish pleasure with Which
she hid the bone in the folds of her
dress, and 'insisted that she "was

.or with the childish eagerness with
which she had whispered her request
'completely charmed. mg. In fact I
fell in, love with her on the spot, and
determined that I would marry her
if she would give her consent. When
we parte&at the entrance of the cat-,
icombs I 'was warmly' invited by'
bcith ladiesl to call upon them, and.
to bring mylfriend with me. • • •
To, visit Miss Scott in company
with Dick was precisely what I did
not wisli to do.. 'But, here; again; I
• could not help myself, Though Dick
professed to be a warm" admirer of
-the widow, it always happened that
soon. after our. arrival. • at the Seott!s

I felt a prey to the mother, whose

The child wads evidently confused

appeared upon the scene,, carrying
upon his arm a shawl belonging to
some ono of the iparty, and asked
what was the matter.
"That beautiful little pink flower,
there on the dome," she answered—
"if I 'could 'only roach it!"

and then tossing one end of the
shawl to e, with the request that I
would hol on to it, he seized the
other end, and was over the railing
and sliding down the slippery stir ;

what was his intention..
The flower was growing on it little

on this projection, it was impossible

attention to my peremptory demand
that he - should come back eat once,

he looked up to Susiei, who Was

terror, and said:
".Yon-know what I asked you just
now. • Will you promise?" _
She only replied: " Coin° back,
Mr. Farrell, do, please. You fright

" Susie," returned the scoundrel,
with the utmost solemnity, "unless

Notwithstanding the fixed :.rates
established by, law, the car drivers of
Dublin are soute‘ihat • notorious for
their inipsitiOns, Arriving at the
station of that city while the sun was
yet high, I employed one of them by
the hour, to take me to the - ".Eu

ms Park, which I thought I might
" do " along the Wei, and accomplish
thus the frequently rinsatisfaCtory
project -of "killin two 'birds •with
one ,stolui."
The Park is a znedern improve

manifest a considerable degree 'of
pride. 'Notwithstanding its wide ex
tent of about 1400 acres, its beauti
ful driVes and interesting collection
of zoological specimens, (for nn in
spection of which an extra fee is,
paid) it cannot he consigeted equal
in point , of attractions to the ventral
Park of New York.. Leaving the
Park, I directed my driver to take
me direct to the hotel, calculating as
at first, to bring his time safely with :
'in the two hours. ' Straight to the
hotel, your honor?" "Certainly."
"And what's the time now, your
honor?" I told him, and we pro
ceeded at what I thought a sufficient
rate of speed, down one street and
up another, turning to the night and
then to the left. I wondered some- ,
what at the seeming distance; but,
little posted as yet in the topography
of.Driblin,l could not properly de
mur.r At lengthafterseveral abrupt
turns, the 'carriage halted. " And
where'sthe hotel, Patrick ?4 " And
sure 'it is'nt here at this is the
old Castle (if Dooblin, (where the Lord
Lieutenant lives, allso grand) which
every body comes. to' see that visits
the city; and I thought mayhap
might choose to have a look at
" Well, now' I -have seen it; please
make tracks for the hotel!" "Sure,
your honor!" So turning in quite
an opposite direction, we finally
reached our destination, but not Un
til by, his circumnavigations, Patrick
had skillfully brought me be some
ten minutes, into the third hour.. I
think however ho waited out the full
balance of the last, before his prompt
claim for three hours was finally paid.
"What's in a , name ?" especially
in the, grandly , -Sounding titles of
many hotels' Preat Britain and
the Continent: ' "The European"
sounded well enough; until I came to
sound its actual merits, when, as I
thought, it.prOved rather hollow. Tar-.
Tying howeverhnt two or three days
in Dublin, I deeMed it not upon the
whole advisable "to flit() evils" (or
hotels either) "that I knew not of."
Nothing 'however is more certain,
than-that the stranger's idea of what
ever town or city he May chance to
visit, will in a great 'degree corret
pond with the character (agreeable
or 'otherwise.) Of his "accommoda

The south-eastern suburbg of Dub
lin, among which I made an excur
sion by the coach one morning, are'
very pleasant; their wide streets and
avenues being lined for 'miles with
neat suburban residences, each with
its own tasteful or fanciful title dis
played in front of the grornids. I
went also by steamer to Kingston,
eight miles down the bay, embarking
near the Custom House, probably
the most magnificent public building
in the city, and said to have cost in'
its construction two millions of dol
lars. On our way a view was afford
ed northwardly of the famons
OP Howra, whose size, though it only
attains to the height of 000' feet
above the harbor, has
_long been
proverbial with the Irish ia. the way
of comparison." The town of Howth
(pronounced Hoath) is nearby; and
it was formerly theithipping port of
the metropolis instead of Kingston
as mow the latter being connected
with the city by a railroad. Maly
of the important improvements which
.have occurred, within the last .twenty
-years in-the-navigation of the harbor
and otherwise, were pointed out to
me by an old resident of Dublin. The
whole region along the coast towards
Kingston (now thickly - dotted- with
fun) residences and country villas)
was within therriod of 'his residence
here almost wholly unimpreved and
uninhabited. The scenery from the
hills in in the rear of Kingston is:
said,to be very fine, find a young
gentleman (the agent of j niantfac
turingfum in Leeds) kindly proposed
to accompany •me on an excursion
thither, but carcumstanees . prevented
my accepting the offer. .
Kingston seems to have dated its
improvements and prosperity from
the binding of George IV, the " first
gentleman" (alias the greatest scamp)
"of Europe,".at that point in 1821.
Previous tokthat time it _Was mea l y
' little fishing village, known!' as
-Di nlesry.' Its hasbor; mostly; - arti
ficial, is one of the fined' in the
country; and like Queenstown in the
South, it is now a fashionable water
ing place. On witnessing its -int=
provemenis and learning its origin,
one might almost concur in the vul
gar idea of the achievementsd mira
cles by the touch of royalty.

The populatien of Dublin is about
a quarter .of a

about ono per cent. less than it was
ten years since. It stands nearly et
the mouth of the Liffey, where the
drifting sands prevent the entrance
of the larger class of vessel& Its
finest monument is a stately pillar,
surrnounted by LOstatue of Nelson,
13 feet in. height. ' Tom Moore and

Such is the magnificence of many
of its public , edfficeses and private

of the finest 'cities Of Europe; and
the traveler wh6 does not 'chance to

THE GERMAN SOLDIERS AT DRILL.
The Berlins correspondent of the
New York Evening Post, who was
himself a-soldier in the late .war for
the Union, writes as follows: ,
"The discipline and daily
,routine
of exercise for the Prussian army is,
to all foreig,ners,- a source of never- _
endiiig wonder.. .Thiyearly morning
is devoted to cleansing the quarters,
and correcting any irregularities
which may have arisen out of the
previous day's duties. Later in the
forenoon the hours are given to study
--arithinetic; geography, 'geometry,
theory and practice of military sci
ence; and even singing is not neg..
lected. Great importance is attach
ed to. the- studies of the soldiers, an&
by attaining a certain advancement
in knowledge, each one, after a sells
factoryiexamination, can Shorten his
term of service from .one to two
years. In the•afternoon of each day
the. bodily culture is attended fo, and
this consists of not only purely mili
tary drill, but also of every variety of
physical exercise, - calculated to., add
either strength'or suppleness to the
human form—running, leapipg,
vaulting, balancing, bayonet exercise,
lifting, shooting; 'blending together
an innumerable variety, of
ovements that mi . muscle of the
body 'is withouts:its Ally exercise.
The • squad drills' axe. followed by
company. and regimental • parades,
and at short intervals by grand field
'movcnients of brigadesquid, divisions,
and. time once or twice a year b •
grand army movements with ?°, •
battles. I have-not been fort..
enough to witness any of their grand
tactics, but the exercises in detail by
company, battalion, squadron tit bat
tery, and in particular the artillery
movements, seem to me to be as near
perfection as patience and practice
can make them." .

In the name of the simple, sweet

Thirdlyiro . nr bad dress and la4c
of exereise lead to bad health,- 'and
men' wisely fear that instead of a
helpmate, they would get an invalid
to take care of. This bad health in
Sou, just as in men, makes Mil mind
as well as the body, fuddled .and ef
feminate. You have no power,' no -
magnetism ! I know. you giggle free
ly and use big: adjectives, such jus
" splendid," "awful," but then this
don't deceive us; we see through it
all. You are- superficial, affected,
silly; you have none of .that wonianly
strength and warmpth which are so
assuring and attractive to man. Why
you have become childish and
weak mithied.that Au refuse to-wear
decent names even, and insist upon
baby names. Instead of Helen,-Mar
garet and Elizabeth, you affect Nellie,
Maggie-and I,izzie. When your bro—
thers were babies, you called them
Bobby, Dick , and Johnny,-but when
they grey up le manhood, no more
of that trash, if you please. I
know a woman of twenty-five years,
and she is as big as both of my
grandmothers put to gether , and her
real name is Catharine, and though
her brain is big enough to conduct
affairs of State, she does nothing but
giggle, cover up her face with her
fan, and exclajza once in four min
utes, "Don't now, you are real
mean?!
How am - a man propose a life
partnership to such - a silly goose ?
Ify dear girls, you must if you would
get husbands, and decent ones, dress
'in plain,- neat, becoming garnients
and talk like sensible, earnest sisters.
You say that, the most ienisible
men are crazy 'after those butterflies

not so. Occasionally a than of-brill

women say a hundred times, that
the most sensible men choose women
without" sense, is simply. absurd. '
Nineteen times in twenty ; 'gullible
men - choose sensible women. I grant
you that in company they are very
likely- to chat and toy with these .
over-dressed and forward creatures,
but they; don't ask them to go to, the
altar with them.

number of these who are just begin

ble ambition, who have a future, is
very large.. These are - worth having.
But such will not, they dare not, ask
you to join them, while they see you
so. idle, silly ;aid gorgeously . attired. -
'Let them see that you are industri

cure health and strength, that your
