A YOUNG XADY'S LETTER.
Written to fin Annt one Year After Mar.
rtafce. ' :
My Dear Aunt : -Although you told
tud when I invited you to my wedding,
that I wag too young to marry, and not
capable of choosing a partner properly,
and with duo consideration, I know that
you feel I was wiser than you thought.
In selecting dear Orlando, I have gained
a most affectionate and attentive husband,
and one who has neither a fault nor a
vice. Heavens 1 what must a girl suffer
who finds herself united to a dissipated
person, neglectful of her, and disposed to
seek the society of unworthy pcrsons,who
drink, smoke, and do all sorts of dreadful
things ! 1 '
Thank heaven, Orlando it perfection.
To-day is my eighteenth birtn-day.and
wo have been married a year. We keep
house now, and I can make pretty good
pie, only the undorcrust will be a little
damp. However, I think that must be
the oven. Onco I put poppsrinint in
pudding instead of lemon flavoring ; but
then Orlanda was trying to kiss me,
right before the girl, who didn't much
liko cither of us coming into tbo kitchen
at all.
. The flowers nro coming up beautifully
in the back garden. Amon tho most
numerous is one variety, with a very
large leaf, that scratches one's fingers, and
don't smell nico. I wonder what it is ?
Orlando frightens1 mo by talking about
weeds but seeds always como tip, don't
they? ' "' '. '
' Dear Orlando 1 ' I como back to him
again so excellent,' temperate, and true.
Tell all the girls to marry as soou as they
can, if they can find a husband like mine.
I havo but ono trial business, takes
him so much from mo. A lawyer must
attend to his business, you know ; and
sometimes they carry on tho cases till two
at night. ' Often ho has examined wit
nesses till half-past twelve, and come
home perfectly exhausted. And tho
things will smoke so that his dear coat
quite smells of it. And it makes him
ill as it does me, ' 1 have to' air it and
sprinkle the lining with' cologne water,
before he dares to put it on again.' '
I had a terrible fright tho other night,
drcadfulJ Orlando had told mo that bu
siness I think he said a case of lifo or
death would detain him late. So I sat
up as usual, with a book, and did not
worry until one o'clock. After that I was
a little anxious, I confess, and caught a
cold in my head, peeping through the up
stairs : window blinds ; for, dear auut, it
was not until three o'clock that I. hoard
a cab driving up the street and saw it
stop at our door ; then I thought I should
faint, for I was sure that some dreadful
accident had happened to Orlando.
I ran down to open the door, and Mr.
Smith, a friend of Orlando's, who is not,
I confess, very much to my taste such a
red-faeed, noisy man was just support
ing my dear boy up tho, steps. ., , , , ....
" Oil, what has bappcued t" cried I.
"Don't be frightened, ; Mrs. White,"
said Mr. Suiith. "Nothing at all, only
White is a little exhausted,. Application
to business will exhaust a man, and I
thought I'd bring him homo."
" All right,' Belle,"- said ' Orlando.
" Smith tells the truth I'm exhausted."
And, dear aunt, he was so much so,
that he spoke quite thick, and couldn't
stand up without tottering. Mr. Smith;
was kind enough to help him up stairs,
and laid him on the bed so prostrated that
I thought ho was going to die. Then I
remembered tho French brandy you gave
mo in case of sickness.. 1 ran. to get it.
" Have a little brandy and water, my
dear," said I. ... , ., 1; , , ..,,,..
- " The very thing. Smith is exhausted
too. Givo some to Smith," said he.
, .And so I reproached myself for . not
having thought of it before Mr. Suiith
was goue. But I gavo a glass to Orlan
do, and uuder Providence I think it sav
ed his life; for, oh, how bad he wus.
" Bella," said he quite faltering iu his
speech, " the room is going round so fust
that I can't catch your eye. And beside
there's two of you, and I doti't know
which is which." " ' . .
I knew these were dreadful symptoms.
" Tako a drink, dear," said I, " and I
will try to wako Mary, and send her for
the doctor."
"No,", said he, "I'll be all right in
tho uiotuii'g. I'm all right, now. Vou'ro
a brick, I ; " Aud oyer he fell, fast
asleep.
Oh, why do men think so much of
uioucy-uiaking ? Is not health better
than anything else? .
Of course as he had hi id down iu his
hut, I took that off first. And I man
aged to divest him of his cout. But
when it cume to his boots dearent auut,
did you ever tuke oil' a gcntleiuun's boots ?
Probably not as you are a single lady
what a tusk ! How do thoy ever get 'em
on ? I pulled aud pulled, aud shook and
wriggled, and gave it up. But it would
not do to leave them on all night; so I
went at it aguiu, and at last ono came off
so suddenly ; aud over I weut onto tho
floor, and tuto his hat, which I had put
there for a minute. I could have cried.
Aud tho other came off tho same way,
just as hard and just as stiddon at last.
Thcu I put a soft blanket over Orlando,
and sat in my sewing-chair all night.
Oh, how heavily he breathed! And I
had as you may fancy, the most dreadful
fears. IIo might have killed himself by
over application to business for all that I
knew. Tho porfeet ones go first, it is
said.' 1 " ''
However, imagine my delight, when at
noon the jiext day, he was able to get up,
eat a slioo of toast and drink ' a strong
cup of tea, and doclared himself muoh
better though his head ached.
How happy I was 1 I found myself
laughing over a little incident that had
occurred that afternoon, as though I had
never had any trouble. A lady's glove
fell out of Orlando's pocket, and tho
fragments of a bouquet. The bouquet he
bad of course, bought for mo, thinking to
be homo early, and the glove ho found in
tho street. And I pretended to be jeal
ous and pulled his whiskers for him.
Oh, how differently should I havo felt
had anything happened to my beloved Or
lando 1 He has not had so exhausting a
day since, nnd I think he sees tho folly
of overwork ; though if courts will keep
open so late, what can poor lawyers do?
I think it is very inconsiderate of tho
Judge. I wonder if he has a wife
mean old thing.

ence when arriving at his homo in that
city aftor a six weeks absence. . ,
Upon my arrival in " New York, r the
first thing I did was to squat down on a
curbstone and inhalo some 'pure smell
from tho gutter. : It did ue a power of
good, I was brought up on that smell.
That with one cow's milk is what made
me so ptsen healthy, , I had appeared in
the sun so much that a plumber took me
for an escaped bronze statue ono of
those fellows that look like a dark green
Christopher Columbus suffering from
toothache. They aro made to hold up
lamps. , .Ife, chased mo as far as tho City
Hall Park, when I ' beheld "a wonderful
phenomenon and held up my hand. No
tongue could express my ' astonishment ;
so f cot Adams Kxpress to do it for nie. '
I exclaimed. " Wonderful, wonderful !"J
" hat Is wonderful ? says a little
red-headed cuss, ' who was bulling the
market selling shoe strings short.
' I said. " How in tho name of congealed
allspice did them sloops get into the
Park?" ,' " :" " - ' '
"' " Them ain't sloops," say he ! " them
is derricks. Them is -the new Post
Office." - ' ' "' '
I observed to him that I knew' it 1 was
the hew Post Office, ' and ' I further re
marked that I didn't know ''but them
might bo sloops up to the Post Office tc
get letters of marque. " ,: 1 1 ';
Then I visited my house.' 7 It had been
shut up six weeks, and when I "arrived
Bill was right in tho door waiting for mo
gas Bill. . i . . ; , . , .

' I had forgotten something that my
dog wished I had remembered. I forgot
to leave a hole for Mm to exit, and I
found him extremely dead deader than
a sardine cutcn in U'08. ' Ho was dread
ful thiu. IIo had shrunk like he'd been
soaked six weeks in alum water. 1 I don't
think I ever saw a dog-collar so much
too largo for a dog as that collar was too
large for that dog.' 1 His mouth was open
like he had died barking. I saw the tail
of my Maltese cat sticking out. He had
swallowed her, I pulled the tail, turned
the dog insido out, and I had a dead cat.
Then I pulled the dog's tail, turned the
cat insido out, and I had a dead ' dog.
In death they were not divided. . I kept

rents, thinking both too young to begin
keeping company with each other, gave
them a pontlo hint to that effect first by
culling tho girl out of the room and send
ing her to bed ; and second, by tho lady
of tho house bringing into tho room a

on the bunks of a small river, onco wish
ed to communicate to her pupils an idea

plain tho meaning of tho word, a small
covered bout hove in sight. ; Seizing up
on the incident for ' nn illustration, she
exclaimed : " If I were to tell you that
there was a leg of mutton in thut boat
you would believe me', would you not,
without even seeing it yourselves ?"
" Yes, nia'ani," replied the ''scholars.
" Well, that is faith," said the school
mistress. The next day, in order to test
thoir rcoollection of tho lesson, she in
quired, " W hat is fuith ?"
"A leg of mutton iu a boat!" was the
answer, shouted from all parts of the
school-room.
A Lawyer Among Cows.
SQUIRE WICK, a lawyer who fan
cies what he don't know ain't worth
"pumpkins," and whose home ain't a
thousand miles from the Pine Tree State,
was a great favorite with the lato 1 Judge
Cranch. Onco visiting tho judge, the
latter invitod him. to walk over his premi
ses. Among other places they visited the
barn-yard, and the squire was struck with
admiration as he gazed upon the noble
herd of cows which had just bcon driv
en up for milking. He talked as elabor
ately of their good points as would a first
rate good stock breeder, when the fact
was he knew next to nothing about stock,
and somo of tho good points which he
spoko of, caused tho judge a hearty laugh
in his sleeve.
" Well," said tho judge, " which of tho
cows will you take?" '
" Which will I take, your honor ?"
snid tho squire, not knowing the judge's
meaning. i
" Yes, which will you take? I am
going to mako you a present of oue of
them which shall it bo? "
" Really, your honor, this is unexpec
ted, I will not object to the present, but
hud rather your honor would make tho
selection, as receivers should not be
choosers." . : '
" If you accept this present you must
make tho selection. Being' a good judge
of stook, you will not be like to cheat
yourself.". And tho eccentrio judge
smiled to himself. '
Tho squire . rubbed, his gold-bowed
spectacles, and began to view tho cows
with a ; critic's precision. ; Aftor muoh
scrutinizing, he said : . r ,
, , , " I apprehend, your hqpor, you would
not liko to part with that very fat, short
horned, thick-necked cow?" , , .
', " I have no choice; make your selec
tion,", said tho judge his risibles hardly
controlablo.
" I don't want to rob you of your favo
rite cow, but if you have no choice,' I
should prefer tho very fat one ; she , has
many good points." .
" No favorite no robbery at all tho
tat cow is yours. My man will drivo her
to your house before milking." .
The delighted squire hastened home to
inform his wife. In about , an hour ho
saw the " fattest and best cow in the vil
lage," as he styled her, driven into his
yard, and despatched a eablo daughter of
Atrica to rank her. in a lew minutes in
camo ebony, gigling and laughing.
Squiro Wick know something was to
pay, and what ho could not , ooniure.
Thero stood Dinah " round up" with
laughter, the empty pail dangling by her
sido." ".".'
, ," What on earth is to' pay .Dinah? what
aro you laughing lor t" asked tho 1 squire.
' ' O massa lor nuffin, only -kl ki ki,
i i i, ho hohe. e oel'V, ; ','".' ": ,!', " ",',', ;".
. The squiro looked at his wife she at
him then , both at Dinah, who had
" conniptioncd" with laughter,nnd settled
down by the door her face covered with
her apron,' and her ' laughing machinery
snaking tier sides at a tremendous rate.
Tho squire's mad riz. . ,. , ,
" Dinah," said he, at tho top. of. his
voice, " tell me what s to payor 1 11 throw
you out of the house." ' , ' ' ' 1 '
, Dinah roso and mastered herself long
enoucn to say : ' , i. . ..
" 0 lor ,wassa, noffin only dat cow of
yourn s a gemmm cow V. , aud then tell
into another fit of laughter. .... .
If you know , how a chorfallcn. man
looks, a portrait of Squiro Wick's i coun
tenance would bo superfluous.. The way
that " very fat, short-horned cote" walked
back to tho yard of Judge Cranch wasn't
slow, and the way the Judge shook his
sides was a caution to critics.

defendant, the following clear and con

I's pretty sure tho defendant throwed it.''
"Was it a largish stono.'" 41 1 should say
it wur a largish stono."' "What was its

"Can't you answer definitely how big it
was" "I should say it wore a stone of
somo bigness." "Con you givo tho jury
some idea of the stone ?" "Why, as near
as I can recollect, it wne somcthiug of a
stone." "Can't you compare it to somo
other object?" "Why, if I wur to com
pare it, so as to give some notion of the
stono, I should say it wur as largo as a
lump of chalk !" ,
jjiajr A startling event recently took
place in a church where the clergyman
adopts rather a strango stylo of admon
ition. Spoakiug of tho devil going about
liko a roaring ion, ho suid Siitua was
everywhere in tho world in tho camp,
in the court, in tho ' theater,, iu tho pri
vato houses ; and rising with his subject,
he said "Ho is in this church at this
very moment ;" upon which a Eharp cry
wus raised by a littlo boy iu a pew be
longing to One of tho leading families in
tho congregation.' "Aunty, aunty," he
shouted, ' take mo out! I waut to get
away." And aunty had to tako him out,
tho boy rushing iu terror from the
church, not having the heart to stay any
longer under the same roo.f with a por
gonugo of whom he had formed so terri
ble an idea.
SUNDAY HEADING.
0 ' ' ' I What is n Gentleman 1 ' ' j
In the course of an address to tho
Leeds Young Men's Christian Associa
tion, delivered lately by the Bishop of
Manchester, his lordship said
"Some peoplo think a gcntloman
means a mau of independent fortune a
man who has clothes made in the hoight
of fashion by tho most expensive tailor a
man who faros sumptuously every day: a
man who need not work- hard for his
daily bread. None of these things mako
a gentleman not one of them nor all
of them together. I have known 1 men
when I was brought closer in contact
with workingraen than, from my changed
position, I am brought now-I have known
men of the roughest exterior, who had
been accustomed all their lives to . follow
the plough and to . look aftct..Jhorse3, as
thorough gentlemen in heart as any noble
man that ever wore a ducal ' coronet.' I
mean I hare known them as unselfish, I
havo known them as truthful, I havd
known them as tender, I havo known
them as kind, I have known them as
sympathizing ; and all these qualities go
to make what I understand by the term
"a gentleman." It is a noble privilege
which has been sadly prostituted,: and
what I want to tell you ia that the humb
lest man in Leeds who has the lowest
work to do, yet, if his heart be tender,
and pure, and truo, can be, in the most
emphatiejense of the word, a gentleman."
. '.. 71)0 it Well. '
. 1 AVhatcvcr you do, do; it well. A, 'job
slighted, because it is , apparently unim
portant, leads to habitual neglect, so. that
men generate insensibly into bad work
men. r- '' : '" ""' " ' "'
'" "That is' a good 1 rough job," said a
foreman in Our hearing, recently, and ho
meant that it was a piece of work, . not
elegant in itself, but strongly made and
well put together. '- i.
, Training the hand and eye to do well,
lend individuals to form correct habits
in other respects, and a good workman is,
in most cases, a . good citizen. ' . No one
need to hope to riso. abovo their present
situation who suffer small things to, pass
unimproved, or who neglects, metaphor-i
ically speaking,, to pick up a cent because
it is not a dollar. . ,,, ,, .., (
. Some of the wisest law-makers, the
most gifted artists, the most merciful
judges, tho j most ingenious mechanics
rose from the great mass. "',
Take heart, all who toil! all youths iu
humble situations, all in adverso circum
stances, and thoso who labor . unapprecia
ted. ' If it bo to drive a plow, strive to do
it well ) if only to cut bolts, make good
ones, 'or to blow tho bellows, keep the
iron hot. ' It is attention to business that
lifts the foot higher on tho ladder. 1
. i i .-.Plata i Talk. to tilrls, ., ,
A girl who looks like a "fury'' or
"sloven" in tho morning is not to be
trusted however finely she may look in
tho i evening. No , matter how humble
your room may be, thero aro eight things
it should contain, f viz ': A mirror, wash
staud, soap and towel, comb,' hair, nail
and toothbrushes. Parents who fail to
proVido such appliances not only make a
great' mistake,' but' commit a' sin of
omission. 11 Look ' tidy ; in the morning,
and after the dinner work is over improve
your toilet. Make it a rule of your daily
life to "dress up" for the afternoon.
Your dross may or need not bo 'anything
better than calico ; but with a ribbon or
flower or some bit of ornament.- you can
have au air of solf-respoct and satisfaction
that invariably oomes with being well
dressed. A girl with fine sensibilities
cannot help feeling embarrassed and awk
ward ia a ragged and dirty dress, with
her. hair . unkempt, should a neighbor
como in. Morover, your . self-respect
should command decent appareling of
your body. You should make it a point
to look as well as you can,, even if you
know nobody will see you but yourself.
Shaking Hands.
There aro two small churches in a
littlo village which I know about. All
the now people who come to stop in tho
village go to one of tho churches and not
to tho other. Roth are neat, both aro
pretty, both have the pure gospel preach
ed to them, both have good pastors, both
have good members.
Now, what draws strangers and outsi
ders to one church moro than to the
other ? Can you think ? Rccause the
poople shake hands with them, ' and are
glad to see them. When a stranger
comes to town, they take pains to hunt
him up and ask him to come to church
with them, aud make room for them ' in
their pews.
B&" There is as much merit iu cater
ing to tho hutuo rous sido of our nature
as to the sober and sedate. Men and
woman were made to laugh and indulge
iu ploasnutrics just as much as to pray
and fust. Because a face is uncommonly
long instead of wide it docs not follow
thut its possessor is a . first class saint.
We would us soon trust a countenance got
up on the broad as on tLe long guago.
tug" Thero is no day, however darkly
clouded, but hath a brighter sun. And
this should be a consolation aud hopq
when all seems dark around.
