The mosses are cool and green.
And somewhere from over the somehow,
On the fitful breezes borne,.

Blown out from the distant horn,
And a rapturous song of thanksgiving
Wells up from my heart's deep core

TUE WIPE'S LESSON.
"What! crying again, Fanny?" ex
claircred Mr. Thomas Merritt, as, opening
tbe door of his wifo's dressing-room, ho
discovered the girlish figure reclining
i up
on the lounge, with her face buried n a
pocket4tankerchief.',;"ln 'the' name of
goodness what is the matter now ?"
"Nothing, Tom," ans red Fano
with a smothered sob, and . er
eyes very bard with the handkerchief, in
order to keep back' her tears.'
"Then, Jr tiothing is the makter, what
in the world are you crying abont ?" re
peated her husband, in. a tone of vexa
tion. "I tell you what, Fanny, it is any
thing but agreeable to a fellow to come
home from it tiresome day's work nt his
office, and in place of smiles and wel
come,' be met with tears and milkiness. It
wasn't so with-you before we• were mar
ried."
" Oh, Tom 1"
"Last evening, for instance," resumed
Mr. Torn Merritt, in an injured tone, "at
Mrs. Bower's instead of making yourself
agreeable, and being a credit to use, you
were as sulky as could be, hiding away in
a corner and looking so miserable that
everybody must bate noticed it. I dare
say they have all set me down as a domestic
tyrant, thinking it must of course be my
fault that my wife is So changed, and that
only sir months after our marring."
" And it is yoni fault, Tom I" answered
Fanny r lifting her tearful face, and look-,
log at him resolutely.
"My fault? WActo! Well, that 1.4 rich.
Pray what have I done? Have r spoken
unkindly to you; or denied you any
thing?"
" No, Tom."
" Aain't I always ready to do anything
for, or go anywhere with you ?"
"Yes, Toni; I know, dear, you're very
good, and don't mean to be unkind ; but,
oh; if }ou knew bow it worries me."
" How what wOrries you ?" inquired
Mr. Thomas, opening his eyes, and look
ing very much puzzled.
Why, your—your flirting with those
women. You know yon do, Tom, and
it's of no use denying it. Last night
you were promenading with that bold
:Mrs. Maddox a whole hour on the piazza,
in the moonlight, leaving me alone • and
then I saw von hanging over Lousia
Beckwith's cfiair,,whispering to her, and
she tapped you with her fan, and said,
• You naughty man and then looked at
me as if she enjoyed my mortification and
her own triumph. And, oh, Tom, yon
don't know how painful and humiliating
it ill is to me to be utglected in pinblic
by my own husband, and see hips flirting
with others!'
And Funny bunt out afresh with hys
terical tears.
z• Well, Ido declare, if this ain't the
moat absurd joke I ever heard of!" ex- I
claimed Mr. Merritt. "To think of your
being jealous—"
" I ain't jealous, Tom. I know you
love me as munch as ever; only—"
"only you're a little goose, Fan. The;
idea of your noticing all that nonsense,
and worrying about it!" Why, a man
must amuse limself in some way or oth
er at these stupid. parties. Look here!
I've no patience with these foolish wo
man's fancies, and had hoped that my
wife was sasperior to such. Now, all 1
I've got to say is this, that instead of hid
ing away in darlo corners, and watching;
and spying yotir husband, you just
amuse yourself as I do, in a little inno
eenetl.rtation. It'll do no harm to any
one, and will make yoa much more at
tractive than you are now !"
And Mr. Merritt, having thus delivered
himself. left the room, closing the door
after him with unnecessary emphasis.
It was a gay season in Westville, and
on the very evening afar this scene Mrs.
lllarmaduke.:Pletanner was to give her
r'artyL-expected to be an unusually brit
ant one on account of the number of
eligible strangerthen in town attending
a great political gathering. Mrs. Merritt
hadn't, intended going to this party, but
.for some reason the changed her mind,
'dressed herself 'With elaborate care, and
entered Mrs. Pluinmer'scrowded parlors,
looking so pretty and,. graceful that her
husband was gratified by the admiring
glances directed toward her.
" Amnse yourself, and be, as gay . as
possible, - Mini" he whispered, dropping
herarm, and taming to Miss Beckwith,
a bold, gay, " flirting" girl, who bad once
essayed to entrap the handsome young
bachelor, and never forgave Fanny Dale
her "successful rtvalship.
Fanny glanced for a moment wistfully
after her husband' but just then a gen
tleman addressed her, and With an' effort
she turned, to him with a pleasant smile,
and answered gaily; and then the 'two
sauntered off into a more quiet, part of
tbb room. Mr. Merritt, looking that way
after a While, awl surprised to behold his
Avifelhe centre or a group of gentleman.
How.well she is looking, and in what
good spirits!" was his thought, with a
grutifietiferling in seeing hie wifeevident
ly so attractive. :And then he resumed
his flirting attentions tolho ladies in gen
eml, and in particular to Miss Beckwith.
Notthat he cared a straw for her, or even
admired her in the least; but as ho, had
said, she umusedlhin3 for a time.
"how Much your wife is enjoying
herself I" remarked the young lady' ma
liciously. I' haven't seen her' so !gay
since het' marriage."
'"Funny can be- very lively and
,agree
able when she chooses," he returned,
quietly—not mach liking Mis Beckwitb's
"Mr. Harrington seems to think so,"
she observed, significantly. 'What a
handsaw., elegant-looking man he is!
I don't wonder at Mrs:Merritt's being so
lively with him; he's so agreeable and in
teresting." • • - •,
-Tom•Merritt looked at his .wife and her
companion more:attentively man `before.
The latter was a stranger—a very elegant
and stylish-looking man, and he was
bending a little Aver Fanny's chair, talk
ing to her. with as interesting look. Tom•
did riot exactly like•tho manner, neither

his Inv to her, sad whispered :
"Enjoying yourself; Erin?",
"Oh yes : it's delightful. Don't you
find it so ?"
"Not particularly." •
Fanny turned again to Mr. Haring.
n, with some coquettish remark, and
then he answered, in a tone so low , that
Mr. Merritt did not catch the words, she
exclaimed : " You naughty man!" and
Lapped hirn playfully on the arm.- Tom
thought this was progressiug wonderful
y, for his modest little wife, and ho look
ed around to see whether it had. been ob
served. Somehow he didn't like the idea
of Mrs. Thomas Merritt being seen so fa
miliarly talking with this stranger.
"What a charming little lady Mrs.
Merritt ler he heard a gentleman say
to another; "so lively and piquaute, and
evidently not averse to a flirtation.
suppose her husband —" aid here he
stopped, warned by a nudge from his
friend, whose face was toward Tom ; but
the words left a disagreeable, half-angry,
half-mortified impression upon Mr. Mer
rites mind.
"Fanny, are you not getting tired ?" he
asked, when, half an hour later, he
sought his wife, and found her promenad
ing to a lively chat with Captain Mans
field, who was known as the greatest la
dy's man in. Westville.
" Tired ?—no indeed. Pray don't
trouble yourself about me, dear. I'm
perfectly satisfied; and Captain Mans
field will take good care of me—won't
you, captain ?" coquettishly.
The captain answered gallantly, plac
ing his hand on his heart; and Fanny
laughed as she resumed her promenade,
leaving her husband looking after them
with anything but a comfortable feeling.
He saw a smile on the times of one or two
persons who had witnessed the scene, and
who were evidently amused at his vexa
tion ; and bedletermined to put a stop at
once to his wife's very unbecoming con
duct. .
" Fanny, do you knocsdk is very late ?"
ho said, as she repassed him in her prom
enade.
"It is? What a pity!, But• I suppose
we can remain a little longer ?"
"I think we had best go now,". ho an
swered gravely.
" Then 1 must bid you au remit, Cap
tain Mantield. This tyrannical husband
of mine insists upon taking me away
with him. What a misfortune to be a
married woman!•' •
The captain whispered something
about its being is greate& misfortune to
himself than to Mrs. Merritt, 'and Mrs.
Merritt murmured, laughingly, that the
captain had better keep his gallant
speechesSor the young ladies; and at
that moment Mr. Harrington addressed
her with :
"Not going, I hope, Mrs. Merritt, just
as the Virginia reel is about to com
mence?" and she regretfully replied.
" Yes, I positively [oust; but—"
her husband beard indistinctly some
words exchanged about a. Scotch sung
that Mrs. Merritt had promised to play
for Mr. Harrington on the following day.
" Fanny, is that man going to call up
on you to-morrow?" asked her husband,
on their way home.
"Certainly. One of the most agreea
ble and interesting gentleman that I
have ever met with. What a delightful
evening it has been, Tom, dear—hasn't
it ?"
"Not to me—though you certainly ap
peared to be enjoying yourself, and in a
way, as I mast confess, that I did not par
ticularly admire. In fact, Fanny, I was
so surprised to see yon carrying on 'so—
more like a girl than Wmarried woman."
" Why, what have I done to - displease
you ?" inquired his wife, innocently.
" What have you done?" Haven't you
been chatting, and laughing, and flirting
with those men all the evening, putting
on the most coquettish airs, and encour
aging their foolish speeches and -Olen
trona as no married woman ought •to do,
or has a right to do ?"
" Why, Tom, I do believe you're jeal
ous !"
"Jealous!" said Mr. Tom, with su
preme scorn. "1 jealous--and of those
popinjays! No, Fanny, I'm not jealous;
but I'm hurt and mortified, and I must
really request that such conduct on your
part shall not be repeated." • •
"Tom," said Fanny, looking gravely in

A Slight Mistake.
The following anecdote, which first
appeared l in the newspaper many years
ago, is said to have been founded on an
actual 6ccurrence. Although it may not
illustrate the democratic simplicity of
the people of Vermont to-day, it is never
theless it,good story, and good also for
many veare longer life in the newspaper
Hideo, you man with a pail and frock,
can you inform me whether His Honor
the Governor of Vermont resides here ?"
aid a British officer, as ho brought his
fiery horse to a stand in front of Gover
nor Chittenden'o dwelling.
"Ile does" Was the responseof the man,
still wending his way to a pig-sty.
"Is His Honor at home ?"continued the
man of spurs.
"Most certainly," replied frock.
"Take my horse by the bit, then," said
the officer. "I have business to transact
with your master."
Without a second bidding, the man
did as reiinested, and the officer alighted
and made his way to the door, and gave
the panel several harty raps With the butt of
of his whip—for be it known that in
those daysof republican simplicity knock
ers and (tells, like servants, were in but
little use. The good. dame flowered the
summons in person.; and having seated
the officer and, ascertained his desire to
see the Governor, departed , to inform her
husband of the guests arrival;bnt on ascer
taining that the officer had made a bitch
ing• post.of her husband, she immediately
returned and informed, him that the Gov
ernor Was•engaged in the yard, and could
not very, well wait upon him and his
horse at the same time I The predicament
of the officer can lie better imagined than
described.
A Close Slime.

Paran; Judking was 'a• justice in . a
western district—a gasping,miserly, close
fisted, flint-hearted man, who had grown
old and gray in mouey-making. One day
he hired a poor man to came and do
some work about his house. Upon re
moveing his coat preputory to setting at
work, the laborer's pipe slipped out upon,
the ground, and old. Judkins saw it, and
picked it up. After workingn while the
man thought he mould smoke, bat upon
looking for his pipe it was not to be found.
Judittne.came outwhile hewn searching,
and asked him what he had lost.
"I've lost mir pipe," said the man.
"Is tilts it e" asked Judkins, holding
up the pipe. -
The man said it was, and reached out
his hand to take it.
"Hold'!" said Jodkins. "It is small

to act as axtrien.. 'l l hree or four lively
black-and-tan terriers accompanied. the

fused to trust his favorite to the tender
mercies of a savage white man, and pre
feered to perform. the operation himself.
I therefore ordered one of the men , . to
hold the dog's_ tail over a'. convenient log,
while the other, held his head and fore
paws. All being ready, the Indian siezcd
an axe, but Instead or useing it as any
other person would have done, he swung
the blade high above his head as if the
object to be sperated. requited his whole

the tail gave it
.a sudden pull, while the
one at the.head also gave a corresponding
push. Doivn came the keen weapon,

The Beggar And Bankei-r
"Stand odor my way!" siid cv4ongli
surly voice, tinder my window one day,.as
I sat amusing over the bustling scenes
below me, at my lodgings in Chestnut
street,
" Your honor will please to rellezt," re
plied asharp- and somewhat indiguant
voice—" your honor will please .to recol
lect that I am a beggar; and have as much
right to the road as yourself."
."And I'm a banker," was restorted still
more gruffly and angrily.
Amused at this strange dialonge I lean
ed over the case, and beheld a couple of
citizens in the position which .a pugilist
would probably denominate 'squared, their
countenances somewhat menacing, and
their persons presenting a . contrast at
once ludicrous and instructive. The one
was a purse-proud lordly mannered man
—appareled in silk, and protecting a Car

,and the other . /Cragged and

Upon a close observation, however, Of
the countenance of, the banker, I diseciv

line, bespeaking humor and awakened
curiosity, as he stool tired and eyeing his

clear and conspicuous. when ho lowered
his tone and asked—" How will you Make
that 'right' appear ?"
"How?" • said the beggar, "Why listen
