SOMETHING WRONG.,
It was Saturday evening; and Mrs.
Ainslie, flushed and tired, was work
ing busily on a little white sacque,
while a . similar' garment, evidently
just finished, and two pretty hats
newly trimmed with white rosettes
and feathers, were on the table be
side her, and two dainty dresses of
light summer silk, ruffled up to the
little; waists, hung over a ebair back.
The wearers of these tasteful gar
ments, aged respectfully eight and
ten years, were sleeping • the deep,
healthful slumber of childhood; while
the w eary, mother sat toiling far into
the night, and cheering her self-im
posed task with the thought of the
pretty picture that would greet her
eyes on the morrow.
"Come, come, Mary," said Frank
Ainslie, as he threw down his book
and approached his wife,. "do you
know that, you are fairly encroaching
on the Lord's Day? It , wants only
a quarter to midnight."
- "I can't help it, Frank 1" was the
somewhat impatient reply. " This
sacque must be finished, that the
children may appear-in their Spring
things to morrow. There is not mach
to do it now. Look is it not pret
ty!"
".Very pretty, Mary as your
handiwork always I heard some
one say, the other day, that; , ' you
kept those children looking just like ,
flowers,' and you're-not a bit extrav
agank.eithers as I 'told Edwards—
who said he !guessed I had I pretty
bills to pay.' I often wondr how
you manage it."
Mrs. Ainslie blushed with gratified
vanity, as she replied , : Mr& Edwards
put that idea into - her husband's
head, just because she hasn't a parti
cle of taste, herself, and dresses her
children like frights, She could no
more ent and make things as I do,
than she could fly to the moon !"
" Rather a flighty comparison, my
dear," said her husband, laughing at
her indignation. "But I quite be*,
Here you. What is' the matter nowt
Yon have not run that great needle
into your head, I hope ?"
For 'Mrs. Ainslie bad suddenly
pressed her band on her temple with
an expression of suffering.
" No," she replied, " but a sharp ,
pain shot through it just then, as
though I had. I have been working
lik a Trojan since ten °idea this
morning." • I
" Well, now,,Mary," continued her
husband, as the clock struck mid
night, I don't like this kind of
thing at all. • You are working' alto
gether too much, and I don't under
stand why it is, when I got you
sewing machine on purpose for you
not to work; but you still keep at it
like an over-driven seamstress."
!' Finis !" exclaimed Mrs. -Ainslie,
triumphantly, as '
she folded the
sacque. "Come here, Frank : I
want to"whisper something to you.
Don't tell any one—but sewing ma

Writ think they are really such a
.great saving afterill; it is 'a great
temptation to put a dozen • tucks
where we used to put one; when it•
can be • done so easily." • --
" Well."' replied Mr. Ainslie, as he
followed his wife up stairs, " it seems
to me gni, you are fairly possessed
by the demon of work. I am glad
that your religions principles will not
allow you to sow on Sunday." -
The two little girls, Mary and, An
na, were 'remarkably pretty, sweet

Frank Ainslie felt very proud of
his wife and children, as he examined
them critically on the way to church;
and when he reflected that his wife
made everything they wore, he said
to himself, " That little woman is a
jewel." • sr
Mrs. Ainslie looked like a spring
flower, herself, in her white bonnet,
and suit of delicate lilac; but her
head throbbed so fearfully that ebe
could not enjoy the service. She
found herself 'comber children

•":You must go without me," she
said, " my head is splitting,"
. Little Mary went up, to her in her
thoughtful way; "Mamma," said she
softly, " didn't our new: dresses and
things make your head sobs? I
shan't like them if they 4iid."
" Go- now, dears," replied Mrs.
Ainslie, as she kissed both the chil-
dres.
'•
"Poor little wife l alud her hus
band, tenderly. ""I think I must
hide that workbasket for the future.
I don't like these headaches
your boys will . tuiss you, Mary."
Yes, she knew they would—six or
eight sturdy rascals, , who had, been
subdued into Sunday-school decency
by the charm of her gentle face and
manner; and who, at that very mo
ment, were seizing their caps, and
rushing from the building in disgust;
at being handed over to the tender
mercies of a gentleman teacher. in
stead of " their own.prettY lady."
" I don't like my verse, to-day,
Mamma," said little Anne,
when she
returned from Sunday-sciiooL
" Why not, daughter? Let me
hear what it is."
The child repeated reverently :
" Consider the lilies how they grow .;
they toil not, they spin not; and yet
I say unto you that Solomon in all
his glory was not arrayed like one of
these." • -
Mrs. Ainslie felt uncomfortable—
the words seemed to strike her in a
new light.
"Bat why doesn't my little daugh
ter like it r she asked, as she strok
ed the soft curls. " It ikra very beau
tiful verse."
" Because, • mamma, Hillis Ed-
wards told me that I wasn't a bit like
the lilies, with all those fine clothes ;
and she said I wasn't like Solomon
either, because he was a wise man,
while I was only a silly, stuck-up lit,
tie girl. She called me ' a peacock,'
too."
The child's lips quivered, and she
was evidently on the road to a
" goo d ory. ”
"Hattie Edwards is a silly little
girl, herself," replied Mrs. Ainslie,
with an angry flush, "and I am
afraid she is an envious one, too.
But•what is my other little daughter
trying to say ?"
• " I don't know that. I quite like to
say it, mamma," replied Mary, who
was thoughtful beyond her years,
" but I have been wondering if it was
wrong for us to have nice things !
Sallie Dixon tossed her head at me,
when we were coming out, and asked
me where our carriage was; She
said that her mamma never allowed
her to walk when she was dressed up
so . much."
The Dixons were " carriage pee
pleP and Mrs. Ainslie telt the cut
quite keenly. She began to suspect
that there was something wrong in
the existing state of things, and she
set herself to thinking vigorously.
There was not a happier wife and
mother in the town; and she prided
herself on having a prettier looking
home, and a prettier wardrobe for
herself and children, than any of her
acquaintances could possibly have on
-the Barnet amount of money. They
lived str?ctly within their income;
but she began to think it possible
that they were spending 'things that
were of more valpt than money. How
many weary of shopping in dis
agreeable regiohs, where things were
cheaper, had her parlor appointments
costalser l -With how many sleepless
nighti and toiling days,. did she•get
up the surnurer and win•er . outfits,
that people evidently thought too
fine for their condition!
She believed tbey were too fine,
after all; it was folly to dress the
children as though their father had
been a-.milliOnaire. That day's 'ex- -
experience had pained her ; the holy
service had brought her no comfort,
because she was " careful and trou
bled about many things."
"I do so like the way in which you
dress your children," said a new ac
quaintance to Mrs. Ainslie a few
months afterward ; "they always
look as fresh and sweet as pcissible—
but there is not a ruffle; nor tuck,
nor a ribbon too much. In these
days of furbelowe and extravagance,
it is really refreshing to see so much
good sense." - -
"It took me' some time to learn
it,"- was the frank reply. " I came
near shipwrecking my health, and
even more important things, in the
-ignoble effort to run neck to neck
with oar richer neighbors ; but a lit
little sharp medicine, in the shape of
uncharitable comments, did me a
world of good."
The lady looked admiringly upon
the sweet face of- the speaker, and
felt that here indeed was a woman
worth knowing.—C7iristian Union.
nye Pourvirsa.—A poor Arab
going through the desertonet with a
sparking .spring. Accustomed to
brackish.water, a draught from this
sweet well in the Wilderness seemed,
to his simple mind a prese t to offer
to the caliph. So he filled his leathern
bottle, and, after a weary tramp, laid
his humble gift at his sovereign's feet.
The monarch, with the magnanimity
that may put many; a Christian to'
blush, called f o r a clip, and filling it,
drank freely: and, with a smile, thank
ed the Arab and presented him with
a reivard. The courtiers pressed ea
gerly around for a draught of the
wonderful:water, which was regarded
as worthy such a princely acknowl
edgment. To their surprise the caliph
forbade theta to tech a drop. Then,;
after the simplohearted giver left the
royal presen e, with a new spring of
joy welling up in his heart, the mon
arch 'explained the motive for his pro
hibition. "During this last journey,
the water in this leathern bottle had
become impuie and distasteful; but it
was an offering of /ore, and, as inch,
I accepted it with pleasure. I feared,
however, that if I allowed another to
taste it, he would not eouceallis dis
gust.. Therefore it was that I forbade
you to partake, lest the heart of the
poor man should be wounded."

The earth with its Velocity through
space, is said to move more rapidly
at this time of the year, being near
est the - sun. Bat nature with its
vegetation, in contrast with the laW ,
Above stated. has entirely declined
to advance its productions in this
latitude. At a tune so near the close
of the year it is profitable and plea&
ant to'reflect en the seasons that are
so soon almost to be forgotten. It is
our purpose townite a feat =thoughts
about 'them as they may occur to us,
beginning with the Spring.
With reference to this season I
may safely say, that, the cornine of
Spring is universally bailed with
pleasure and delight by all. And
this is because there is something
about it that is -really refreshing to
our senses. After the usual disa
greeable, rainy %weather is over, the
sun shines forth, imparting light and
heat; and soon the tender blades of
grass appear, to gladden our sight,
as well as for other equally useful
purpose& In a little time the first
flowers enliven the earth with - their
beauty, and the little birds sing for
joy. When this season comes, the
independent firmer is no longer lim
ited in his farm inspections; and he
ieels glad that the time for work has
come; and he is indeed more truly
" the lord' f all he surveys." - How
enjoyable it is for any one to go on
the hills and t..ke a view of Nature's
wondrous works. The mountains.
hills, valleys. fields, churches and
houses are a fine sight to those who
are admirers of Nature. This beau
tiful season is often referred-to as
type of that life after this, which the
good are to realize when God - shall
come' with judgment and say, " Well
-done, thou good and faithful servant :
enter thou into the joys of the Lord."
Briefly and apprbpriately, we quote
-from a gifted poet to close this
,part
of the subject :
"Forth in the Spring Thy beauty walks,
Thy tenderness and lore." ,
All changes in nature are usually
very gradual, and there is no special
variation in this great law when we
come to observe the seasons. The
changes in the temperature of the
air are not often marked in-any arbi
tiary manner, to indicate the close,
or approach, of any of the yearly so
called divisions of the seasons.
How
One.season blends into the next in
order, by a nice adaptation of the
great Creator. When we speak of
the Summer; we refer to that warm
time of the year in which plants
make the most of the genial powers
of nature, by just growing as fast as
possible. The leaves on the trees
have attained their full size, and their
fruit is hastened to .perfection. All
things green, seem to be in a strife
to see which can exemplify best the
meaning of the word grow. The
birds become more numerous, and
they exert their powers in like man
*tier; some of them swelling their lit
tle throats in song as though they.
were not afraid of bursting them.
The face of nature is also more exu
berant with flowers, and they by
their fragrance and beauty seem to
conspire in a silent but expressiv
jubilee, to the Maker of all things.
In Autumn, as it• is well known,
the various productions of the earth
come to maturity. The golden grain
is gathered into barns. The fields
have already been shorn of their
crop of grass; and quite a contrast is
seen, from the effects of the mower.
.The stubble remains after the reaper,
and a fresh crop of new clover comes
on for pasturage to the cattle. In
the orchards, the luscious yellow and
red-cheeked apples are seen hending
from the trees,
" Gently oscillating in the Autumn breeze."
Later, the leaves of the maple assume
their gorgeous colors of yellow and
red; and with the leaves of other
trees, return to mother earth.
The falling of the leaves teaches us
how soon we, too, must pass away.
Amid the desolation and cheerless
ness ol,the fading th ings of‘earth, it
is very cheering to look up at, the
blue sky, which is remarkable at this
time. Vie vegetation becoming dry
and juiceless, is often - food for the
destructive fire-fiend, of- . which we
have heard so much during the Au
tumn of this year. But enough, we
will not contemplate the destruction
which fire has made; but hasten to a
few more thoughts on the closing
days of the year.
With what joy the boys view the
snowflakes coming down, covering
the earth with a white fleecy mantle.
Who can fully describe their ideas of
skating, riding down the longest bill,
and their rides behind the horses,
With their merry, jingling bells.
Those a 'little older have, perhaps,
visions of singing schools, lectures,

course, they hope and expect the
girls will be there, too. But what
shall we say of the poor and almost

It cannot be a 'time of rejoicing to
them, for they .know too well that.

To expose the Mistakes of content
ed ignorance is hopeless. There is
no cure for, these but a general in=
provement in eduCation. There are,
however,errors which well-instructed
persons sometimes fall into, from
mere thoughtlessness: Such errors,
like the "Jeers of the brave and fol
lies of the wise," have only to be
brought home to the consiousness of
those who commit them, to be- dis
carded at once.
A very common mistake. even for
good writers and speakers, is the
substitution of had for would, before
the adverbs rallwr„. sooner; .biller,
'and some-others. "I had rather stay
than go," instead of " I would' rath
er." " I bad as lief takeone is the
other," instead of "I would as lid"
The origin of the error is .evident
enough. The two . lords, had and
would, have the same contracted form
when Combined with pronoun. " I'd`
rather" may be a contraction of ei
ther "I would rather," or '1 bid
rather." This contracted form is that
which we almost alwayS use in com
mon speech. Everi when we are in
clined to lengthen it; we rarely give
the full pFonunciation. We say. "I
'ad rather," leaving the verb doubt
ful to the listener's ear, and perhaps
to ourselves., When drivenio. write
it; we feel naturally inclined to take
the shortest word, without much re
gard to the strict frammatical mean
ing of the phrase. That the expres
sions "I had rather," and "I had as
lief," are incorrect, will be made evi
dent by simply converting , rather into
its more willingly, and /i(f
into the corresponding gladly. - Yet
it'must be admitted that these moor- .
Beet forms are warranted by such
high authorities, from Shakspeare to
some of the test writers of our day,'
that they are entitled to be regarded,
if not as established idioms, at least
as tolerated solecisms,
The confusion of lay with lie, and
of set with ' sit, is among the . most
common errors of speech, though
well-educated persons area usually
able to avoid it in, writing. Every
one who is familiar with the idioms
of our language knosir% or ought to
know, thatiay and set are what are
called transitive verbs, and that lie
and sit are intransitivg. In other
words,' the two former can take, a
noun after them in the objective case,
and the two latter cannot. We Say
"Ley 'the book down," " set the post
up." To say "Lie
.the book,' or 'lSit
:the post," would be ridiculous. The
error usually committed'iS in the op
posite direction—the transitive verbs
being used in an intransitive sense.
luny persons, not deficient in edu
cation, would say "Some of the dill
dfen are laying on the grass, and the
others are .setting in the .pa ; lor."
That the error prevails in the 'very
highest circles of society and of schol-.
arship cannot be doubted; when we
find it allowed to mar the effect of one
of the' finest versos in Byron's well
known apostrophe to the ocean:—
"Aten'esteps are not upon thy radii; thy fleas
Are not a spoil for him ; thou doat arise
And shake him trom then ; vile strength he
wields . .
. .
For Earth's destruction then Boat all despise,
.pruning him frl•m thy bosom to the skies,
And sen(rat him. shivering in thy playful spray,
And howling to his gone, where haply lies
IIi• petty ho. e 11:1 some near port or bay,
And dash. d him again to earth ;—there let him
lay."
Next let us note the persistency
with which many well-educated, as
well as most uneducated persons use
the objective pronouns' me, her,' him,
them, after the various lenses of the
substantive verb to be, in spite of the
injunctions of - grammarians. The
habit of saying "It is me," "It was
him," - instead of "It is "It is he;"
is so universal and so faed,that some
modern writers on English philology
have been disposed to regard it as al
lowable.
Possibly to the same cause we may,
ascribe the general disuse, in ordina
ry speech,of whom as in the' objective
case of who. Instead of ilthe mail
whom I taut," almost every nno would
.say " the man that I met," 'oar, more
briefly, " the man h Met." Both of
these modes of expression are in_ ac
cordance.' with grammatical rules.
Not so is the equally common form
of interrogation, " Who did , you
meet ?" "Who are yon speaking to?"
Here *horn would be correct, - and yet
would seem so stitllhat many who
knew the right would yet prime the
wrong„ way deliberately. _A little al
teration of the phrase, in such - a elute,
will often make it more satisfactory
in every way; as, for example . , "Who

The following I find in my Scrap
book, placed there five-and-tWenty
years ago, and I regard the lesson
contained as worthy of - being printed
in letters of gold, and reflected upon
the conscience orrery man. •
The late celebrated John Trumbull,
when 'a boy, resided with 'his father,
Governor Trumbull, at his' iusidence
in Lebanon, Cianiecticut, T in the
neighborhood.of the Mohegans. The
government of this - tribe was heredit
ary in the- family'of the celebrated
Micas. Among the heirs to the chief-'
tanship was - an Indian name& Zach
ary, who, though a brave man, and
an excellent hunter, was as drunken
and worthless an Indian as could
well be found. By the death of in- 1
terviewing heirs, Zachary found him
self entitled to the 'royal power. In
this moment the better genius of
Zachary assumed sway, and he re
flected seriously. "Now can each a
drunken wretch as I am aspire to b 6
chief of this noble tribe? what will
my people say ? How shall the shades
of my glorious ancestors look down
upon' such 'a successor? Can I sac,
teed to the great Uncti.s ?-1
Dana: so stoat!' And , he solemnly
resolved that lieneforth he would
drink nothing stronger than water;
and be kept his resolution.
Zachary succeeded - to the rule of
his tribe. It was usual for - the Gov.
einor toAttend at the annuaT election
in Hartford, and it was customary
for the Mobegan chief also to attend,
and-on his way to lA%) and dine with
the Governor. John, the Governor's
I son, was but a boy, and on one of
these occasions, at the festive board,
occurred a scene which I will give in
Trumbull's own words:
"One day the mischievous thought
struck me to try the sincerity of the
Old man's temperance. The family
were seated at dinner, and there. was
excellent home brewed ale on the.ta-
Me. I thus addressed the old chief:
' Zachary, this:beer is very fine; will
you not taste it?' ~ nit old man drop
ped his knife, and leaned forward
with ti,stern intensity of expressioh,

Dr. McNeile here accurately and
graphically describes the difference
between the drunkard unti - tlie so
called,moderate drinker of intoxica
ting, poisoning liquors. The drunk
ard "carries his own warning upon
him, so that no- one will touch him.'
The leprosy covers all his flesh, and
therefore, "as to the risk of infection,"
and. of giving example to others, he
is clean. But the sr.icalled moderate
-drinker is wore dangerous; because
his.leprosy is less.evident, and there-.
-fore he is more likely. to ' spread the
infection than the wretched drunk
ard; who repels every, one from him.
The moderate drinker gives a dan-,
geyous example, the drunkard a sal
utary warning. Ani-further comment
on Dr. McNeile'S words would be su
perfluous. We hope the reader will
see that it is his: duty -to be wholly'
free from the worse than ancient lep
