I wondor what is the reason every body clso lias things right, and we always linvo things wrong." " Why, Joe, I'm suro the corn-bread has never hecn in this sfato before. ' You see tho iiro had u fit und couldn't be made to bnrn this morning." " ( Hi, yes, you always have an excuse. Now there is Mrs. Hmith her stove nev er has lits ; and sho always has the light est, sweetest bread, and tho nicest cakes and preserves I ever ntc. . I wish' you'd take pattern by her." . v " Well, I'm sure, Joe, I do my best, and I succeed oftener tlmu I fail. I wish I could suit you always: but that, I sup pose can scarcely bo expected," and Mary gave a weary sigh. Mary Starr bud been mnrricd about a year, during which time she had found house-keeping rather up hill work. She was a neat littlo body, and conscientious ly did her best to please her husband ; but he, whatever might bo tho reason, was very hard to pleaso ; in fact scorned determined not to be pleased with any thing uho did. l'erhaps, like tho old sol dier in one of Dickens' stories, he hud a vital and constant nenso that discipline must be maintained. At any rate he never allowed Mary to bo pleased with herself on any occasion, if he could help it. Mary was an nmiublo wife, fortunate ly, and not easily irritated ; though, to tell the truth, there woro times when her forbearance was severely tried. For in stance, when she and Joe took tea out, or went to a party, or even to t-huroh, he seldom allowed the opportunity to pass unembraccd to animadvert on some de ficiency in cookery, or manners or dress, on tho part of his wife. For instance, it would be. " Mr. Jones, ? what beautiful sponge cake you make. Mary, take notice how light this cake is. i 1. wondor why! you can never have it so puffy." Or, Mrs. Urown, you certainly ore, an adept at en tertaining company. I wish, Mary, that vou would try to steal Mrs. mown s art. Or, " Mrs. (ireen, your dress is always most becoming. Your taste is exquisite I don't see why it is, Mary that with all L spend for you, you nover can reach the elegance of Mrs. Green." ' On these occasions, Mary would blush and bite her lip und be inwardly annoyed, but that, :wu8 a woman of too much pride and good sense to make a display of her chagrin, and really she was too good na- tured and Christian a person to let it change her feeling toward Joe, whom she knew to be, alter all, very load ot her, and a very kind man at heart. , After a while, too, seeing that the tault was prob ably curable, she bethought herself how she should proceed in order to break him of his disagreeable habit. Fortune layor ed her. One day a lady, one of her most valued friends and best neighbors, called to invito Joe and Mary to a tea party at her house. . , ' ' ; ,' " ' ;' ' "It will be a small affair." said she. but very pleasant I think. You' are want ed to make the oiroio complete." "Well," said, Mary, ' L will opine, Mw. ,Vane, on fine .condition. '' lias it come to this, that you must make conditions? Well, my, dear',iitiak your demand." ! ' - a' " ' "3he condition , is". ai4.( Mary, , that you will allow nie to furnit-h all the re freshments." '' '-I-' ': ' .' 'V Well, that is an odd idea,. Mary. My dear, you don't mean to insinuate that I nm Eettiqc'poor."'. l' '.STv'iJi Wl'I .'',' '-"No. Hartie. Thank' fortune, the has showered her favors on you quite liberal ly ; but I have a motive for this which, if vou please, I will not divulge. Only let me hate: iny way .this once,'j just, 'for thj oddity ot tho thine. r, i i If any body but you, Mary, had made such a request of me, I should have taken offence: but I nover could be anery with you'. ' So, if it be any satisfaplioti to yMi tlioueh for the tub of me I cannot imar ine what your drift is I will comply with your conditions. When may I expect my supplies; - " Let me see. To-morrow is my baking day and) youf tea" , party ; Is not before Thursday. Hen, on Wednesday aiwr. noon you shall be supplied . with bread, biscuit, Cake and all the other accessories ; and, mind, tho ouly thing I ullow yon to furnish is butter, which I i'o toot make." " Very well, it's all settled then j w ill. lea ve you. ' . up. the w hole th Is ar- rautreuieut suilfl me, for your oookery is well kuown to be particularly nice, iio good-by, till Thursday,'.' "Mind you say' nothing about this. Hattis, to any'1 one, U'; is a secret of one. U . is mine." ' ... " Very well, 'us" you say I'll 'keep mum.

' Her oakes wore perfection ; her crullers : crisp j and delicious. .Then she knew that her pro served fruits were nice, and if there was spoope cake more like solidilled frotlj she would like to see it. Kvery thing was sent into Mrs. Vane's on i Wednesday af ternoon, and she had alt Thursday to de vote to her dross. Mary ' looked very pretty that night at tho tea party, for her eyes shone with a purposo, and she had just excitement enough about it to rod- , 1 1 I T I aen nor cneeits in a verjr utiuummg man ner. Add to this, she was dressed with neatness and taste, and you will not be unwilling to believe me when I say that she was quito tho belle of the occasion. Joo pvidontly thought so himself, for, strange to say, ho made no remarks on her appearanco calculated to lower hor self-esteem, but gazed at her from time to tune with tho most prolound satisfac tion. Hut murder will out. It came out on this occasion when they sat down to supper. Every body was delighted. Thoro had not been such an unexception able tea in the neighborhood for a long time. Country people are very fond of their teas; they compare one with anoth er with admirable judgment. This one was a triumph. ' ' ' " Mrs. Vane, you are the perfection of bread-makers. Your biscuits arc beauti ful. Were ever such crullers' ' made 1 How do you manage it, Mrs. Vane ? What lovely sponge cako !" Mrs. Vanoand Mary occasionally ex changed glances and smiled, but nobody noticed it. Joe hud been behaving beautifully all the evening and Mary be gan to be afraid bcr plan had failed. .He came out now, however; greatly to Mary's satisfaction, . .:, "This is a feast, indeed," ho said. " A fellow is fortunate, who has a wife that can make such bread as this, to say noth ing of tho sponge cake. ,1 can't see why it is, Mary ; you improve it is true, I give you credit for that ; but I don't see why it is that all women don t have tho knack that Mrs. Vane has at cooking to perfec tion. If you could only make such bread as this, Mary, your husband would be a happy man." Mrs. Vane looked at Mary, and Mary looked at Mrs. Vane Light had broken on tho mind of the latter. It broke like a flash of lightning, and then there was an explosion, not of thunder, but of laugh ter. ' Joe looked amazed. " llo 1 was a man who petted his dignity enormously. What did theso women mean by laugh ing at a sober, sensible remark of his ? Particularly, what could Mary mean to so trifle with the respect she owed her husband 1 He began to grow very red in deed. Mrs. Vanosawib presently, and came to his and Mary's , reliof, for poor Mary had already begun , to be a little frightened at the success of her own scheme.,. She did not like Joe to be an gry at any rate. , . , -. , ,. . " Mr. btarr, said Mrs. vane, "lam glad you like this very' excellent cookery, for it is all your wife's. ' By your own showing you ought to be a' very happy man. ' - - - ' Here the whole company caught the infection, and joined in the laugh against Joe. It was of no use to get angry with so many people,. So j. before long Joe joined the chorus himself. , : And so the tea party broke up with the greatest good nature all round, and Joe went home with a lesson he never forgot; for it was the last time Mary beard any complaint from him. He is now the,-, most easily pleased of any husband ten miles around. t t ,A Singular Custom. ( t IN BAVARIA the moment the breath leaves the body, it is hastily arrayed in the finest robe which the purso of the relatives will permit, and ' bustled away by some official of government to a build ing in the cemetery prepared lor its re ception.' Hero the body is elevated on sort of inclined plane; which is covered with Bowers; the quality ol the Mowers, too, depends on the purse of the friends, whether they aro natural,, fragrant blos soms, pr those manufactured of tin, paper or rags., X ho body is enveloped in these often tawdry imitations, and upon the thumbs are placed two small rings,which are attached to slender wires suspended from the ceutre of the building, and which, of course, enter the room above. Here at the end ot the wires, bells are arranged, and the slightest movement of the body will cause a vibration in the wire and sound from the boll.

Butler could framo an argumont ,, even in his young days. . ,,, , ,, . i While bo was in .college the studeuts were obliged to attend the college church. On one occasion the prcalioi (who, was a professor in tho institution) advanced propositions as follows : First. That the elect ulonc would be saved. Second. That ' probably ' not more than one in a hundred in Christian Nations was of tho elect.' Third. That tho other ninety-nine' would bo damned, and on account of privileges enjoyed, and light given them, would suffer more'than tho benighted heathen, and that each would suffer according to the privileges enjoyed and knowlcdgo given them. Butler made a note of theso propositions, and drew up a petition to tho faculty asking to be exempted from further church attendance for the following rea sons :, Tho congregation consisted of six hun dred persons, nino of whom were . profes sors in the college, and if ouly one in a hundred was to be suved. six alone would enjoy that blessing, which would not cov er tho professors. Ho being ,a student only, was not prcsumptious enough to suppose for a moment, he should have preference over a professor. Nothing then remained but perdition for him. This being a melancholy prospect at best he was anxious to mitigate his future suf ferings as much as possible, and felt it a duty bo owed himself, to abstain from any acts tending to add to them, and as church attendance had been shown in the last Sundny's service to have this ten dency, ho prayed his petition be granted, and ho not forced to do what would ac cording to their own showing, aggravate bis sufferings in the futuro life.. ' i This petition was formally written out and presented by Butler to the faculty, who imposed upon lum a public, repri mand, and but for tho influence of friends would have expelled him. 1 - ' Rather Unpleasant. . t " A surgeon states that one of his . pa- ticuta recently had some trouble, with a sawmill, and got a piece of skin, about tho sixo ot a tea-saucer, torn trom bis hip.

A, second perforated iron case, the shape of the bell s outside, is al so coated with loam, and then placed over the first. The metal is poured between the two cases; the gases developed in the process escape through them, and the rope burning slowly leaves a ' space lor the bell to contract in cooling without straining.' ' Flanges between the oases keep them at a given distance apart, and the desired thickness of metal is thus se cured. During the fiscal year of 1870, I.32:t worth of bells, bell metal, and bronze were exported from this country. Three-fourths of this went by way . of Northern New York to Canada; the rest to Spanish-American and the Sandwich Islands. - The ' treasury tables do not show tbe amount imported.' 1 Bfcfir A Eureka (Cal.) , paper relates a remarkable tale of love and constancy'.
