Carter fall head Over heels in lore with, her,, no one blam ed him in the.leait. • And when the parson gave consent and they went to housekeeping in a 'cozy little birdS Best of a houSe; oil the South- side of the town, everybody prophesied all sorts of happiness for . the pretty bride. And truth to tell Nellie Carter was very happy. It is a pretty thing to go to housekeep ing for the first time, with' everything spick and span, new and shiny, and if you love very much for a Companion it is still pleasanter. Now Nellie did lore threat blub bering Toni.oafter with all h'er might tind main, and there was only one thing to disturb her pea•ce. ' She was the very pink of tidiness and Tim. was the must careless fellow alive. He kept his person rest and nice, but he kept his personal belongings anything else. In vain did Nellie braid a hand some merino case and tack it inside the closet door for Tom. to put his slippers in. He would insist on tossing them un der the parlor sofa, " to have 'em handy." In vain did she gently suggest that the rack in the hull was the place for his hat and overcoat—w.t or dry he would throw hie overcoat on her pretty, smoothly made bed. and hang his hat wherever it happened. In vain did Nellie make n place for ev erything, for Torn. invariably tossed ev crvthiug in some other place. Now little lira• Nellie was only human, and Tom's slovenly ways annoyed her exceedingly. She resolved not to destroy the peace of their cozy home by scolding, but how to core hint she could not tell. She'bore with him with thepatience of an angel, tilt one morning when he had gone up to town, she went into the parlor broom in hand, aild there lay,Tom.'s big shawl right across the centre table, suth lessly crushing beneath it the trifles that lay on the marble top. "Now, I can't have this, and I won't." said she, as she raised the.shawl.from the delicate Immure and discovered the ruins of a favorite Bohemian vase. " I don't know what to. do, but this I won't have," she continued ivith a little bi- of wifely snap, which every good wife must have if she expects to get along at all with that occasion:oy unreaso..able animal, a Man. " Some way must be discovered to CUM Toni. of such performances as this'?" ad ded Mrs. Nellie as she removed the ruins of the vase, and all the morning she went around at her work with scarlet lips compressed, and a little flush in tier lirown.sses_which.,argued fur Mr. Tom's domestic subjection. Wonnin's wit, having a will seldom fails tollnd a way. And when a deter mined ;little woman says " must" and " shall" all masculine insubordination may as well surrender at once. Before Nellie closed her bright eyes that night, she had arranged plans for that campaign against her lie e lord. who was sleeping the sleet of innocence at her side. BA she meant to give him one more chance: So after breakfast, when Tom. drew on his hoots and gave hie slippers the customary toss under the sofa, she gently said— " Tom„ dear, hadn't you better put your slippers in the case ?" "No, let 'em alone, they'll be handy to night" "But, Tom., they look so mititlY." " Why. no they don't, a thing looks as well in one place as another. What is the nse of a mau's havinc , a home if he can't keep things where he wants to keep them ?" " What's the use of keeping, a woman on her feet ull day to pick up things after -our ," Don't pick them up. Just let them :dime, and then I can find them when want them," declared Tom, as he gave her a kiss and took himself off A nd. at the moment the door closed on him, Nellie's rmf lips compressed them selves again, and her brown eyes wore the same look they had worn yesterday. " War it is, then," she said to herself. "Now. Master Torn., we shall see who wins the field." She set qnietiv about her morning's work, and when Tom. came home to din ner everything was in i:s accustomed good order. It remained - So, and Nellie busied herself with her sewing until nearly time for Tom. to tvt,nru to his sap , er. Then she arose, pnt away her work. and prepared to open the campaign. First. she ptit-7om.'s slippers where he alway left them, under thi- sofa. Then she tossed the sli s awl uptti the piano, and his best hat upon the centre table. She then brought several of her drekies and Slung them across the chairs nnil on the sofa. Herfttra and stteque reposed nn Tom'A especial atm chair, and her best bonnet kept Tom.'s , lippers rompana under the sad: while her own slipNrs lay upon- the mantle.

"A thing looks us well in one plsefi as another." • Tom.'s tics reddened. • "I never itiw yonrroom look so before, I shouldn't like to have aby.one, step in," he said hesitatingly. ".. "Why not!'' aaid.Nellie. "We , might as well have things bandy. What's the use of liaiing:a 'Kona° if you Can't have things where you want to ?" Tom.'s•face grew redder and redder.— lle to look sober, mid then broke into a langli. "Oh, that's your game, is it," he said. "Trying to beat me with my own weapoiii, ore you, my little wo man ?" " Well 7 don't you like the .plan ?" said Nellie, demurely. " No ! By Getirre I don't!" cried Mr . Tom. " Well, then, I'll make a bargain with you. As long as yon wilt keep your own things in their place, do the same with mine, and whenever you don't—" "Oh, I will," interrupted Tom. "So, Nellie', I'll own up like a man, you've beat me this time. Only just clean up this awful room, 'amd never throw anything down again. There, now, let's kiss and make up, as the children fray." Nellie rose, and laughingly held up her sw'et month for a kiss of peace. •And Wen. under the magic influence :if her deft fingers, confusion was suddenly ban ished, and when Granger came around to spend the evening, he decided that so one had a prettier wife or a tidier home than his Tom. Carter. Vise little Nellie having once gained possession of the matrimonial field, took care to keep it until Tom. was entirely cured of his careless habits. Sometimes he seemed threatened with a relapse, but Nellie, instead of scolding. only had to quietly bring something of her own, and lay it down beside whatev er Tom. had tossed down, and it was sure to be put away immediately, fur Tom. seldom failed to take a hint. And if some other little woman, as wise and tidy . as Nellie, takes a hint also, this story will have served its purpose. A Chinese Walter. Ix San Francisco the Chinese are to some extent employed as waiters in the eating houses. 'fwo miner: went in and called for mutton chop. The waiter not understanding the order perfectly, asked what. was wanted. Mutton chops, you chucklehead."— And the Chinaman sung out Lt the top of his voice— " Some mutton chops , and chuckle hd !" The joke took' well among the custom ers, who all laughed heartily. Presently the poor fellow was overwhelmed with or ders like the following: "Bring me a bat fall of boiled bricks," said one. Bates hill of bile bricks:" bawled the Chinaman. "1 want a barrel of homeorathic soup. said :Mother. " Barrel Ilumoputty soup, sung out the waiter. " Give me a dog's ear fry," exclaimed a third. But John Chinaman was not to be fooled with the dog fry. He knew the Americans abominated dogs for food, and eeimmg everybody laughing, he began to smell Cre rat. and therefore retreated to the kitchen for the time being. When the story got into the papers time poor fellow became famous without suspectin2 the cause of it. He is now quite as favor ite in rho place. and goes constantly by the name of chuckleheada title that dues not displeaserhim.

MX. DEAR SIR: As there rs a possibil ity, il s not probability. that I shall not see you on your return home; or, if I should see you, that it. may be on the road and under circumstances which m ill prevent my speaking to you on the subjective last conversed upon, I take the liberty of com mitting to paper the following. thoughts and requests. . . I have not been unmindful of the sen timent expressed by you in, the conversa tion just alluded to. On the contrary. I have again and again resolved them nith thoughtful anxiety; but, without berrig able to dispose my mind 'to a longer con tinuation in the office I have now- the honor to hold. I therefore still looked fur, ward to the fulfillment of my fondest and most ardent-wishes to spend - the remain-_ der of my days (which I cannot expect to be many) in ease and tranquility. I , ;othing short of conviction that •my dereliction of the Chair of Government (it• it should be the desire of the people to continue me in it) would involve the country in set ions diepntes respecting the Chief Magistrate, and the disagreeable consequences which might result there from in the floating and divided opinions which seem to prevail at present, could, in any wise, induced me to relinquish the determination I have formed, and of this I do not see how-ally evidence can be ob tained previous to the election. !'lly Van ity. I am sure, is not of that cast as to al low ins to view the subject in this light. Under these impression then, permit me to reiterate the request I made to you at our last meeting, namely ; to think of the proper time, and the best mode of an nouncing the intention, and that you would prepare the letter. In revolving this subject myself, my judgment has al ways been embarrassed. On the one hand a previous declaration to retire, not only outcries with it the appearance of vanity and self-importance, but it may be •con . strued into a manceuvre to be invited to remain, and on the other hand, to say. nothing, implvs consent, or, at any rate would leave the matter in doubt, and to decline afterwards might be, deemed as bad and uncandid. I would fain carry my request farther than is asked above, although I am sensi ble that your compliance with it must add to your trouble; but as the. recess may afford you leisure, and I flatter my self yin have a disposition to oblige me,l will without apology desire (if the mews- urn in itself should strike you us proper, and likely to produce public. good, or pri vate honor.) that you would turn your thoughts to a valadietory address from ins to the public, expressing, in 'plain and modest terms—lhat having beet, honored with the Presidential chair, and to the best of my abilities contributed to the-or ganization and administration of the government—that having arrived at period of life, when the private walks of it, in the shade of retirement, become necessary and will be most pleasing to me ; and the spirit - of the government may render a rotation in the elective offi cers of it, more congenial with their ideas of liberty and safety, that I take my leave of them as a public man ; and in bidding them adieu (retaining no other concern than such as will arise from fervent wish es for the prosperity of my country) I take the liberty, at my departure from civil, as I formerly did at my military ex it, to invoke a confirmation of the bles sings of Providence upon it, and upon all those who are the supporters of its inter ests, and the promoters of harmony, or 7 der and good government. That to impress these things it might, among other things, be observed that we are ad the children of the same country —a country great and rich in itself-cap able, and promising to bo as prosperous and as happy as any the annals,of histo ry here ever brought to our view. That our interest, however diversiaellin local and smaller matters, is the same in•tillLthe great and essential concerns of.. the -na tion. That. the extent of our corintey. the diversity of our climate and soil, .and the various productions of the Stites, consequent upon both, are suet] as to make one part not only convenient,- ' but perhaps indispenlably necessary ; to the other part, and may render the whole' (at no distant period) one of the mast inde pendent in the world.

Oar Western exchanges have already begun their periodical fusiladePoguinst'the transportation _of Texas: cattle across their territory, upon the, alleged' ground that the dilease knoWn a's" Teias Cattle Fever," followS'in the wake of theie Tex as cattle (hovers. • There isrekome singu lar, if not suspicious facts connedted with this tirade.againet the Texas cattle in re ference to, the,disrase in .qnestion, a few of which We propose to notice terest of common justice. It is a fact not generally known, per- Imps, that Texas cattle do not have the Texas cattle fever, and. those who are without, inferet.in the matter cannot re!. gard' it otherivise than a verysingular fact that Texatr cattle impart to the cattle of Missouri and Illinoi4z disease which they do not have. . , During' the late war large" numbers of Texas tittle were driven to and 'throtip Louisiana by the Confederate authorities for the use of the Confederate forces at Vicksburg and Port Hudson.. These cattle were driven across the country, her ded on the range till required; and 'many of them wintered in the cane region of Eastern Louisiana, where they lead free and constant interconrse with the .native tock of the c t onntry: and yet not a single case of Texas cattle fever was ever ,destd oped from this contract. The atm-phis tioated, \Mc urn Withont' interest in the matter, would regard this as another sin gular fact. But Lonisiana cattle were not competing with the Texas cattle in the beef market. hence they obstinately re fused to contract any disease - Goal them, and they were particulary cautiousttot to contract a disease which these Texas cat- tle did not have. Some four versa ago an Arkansas cor respondent of Colinan's Rural World de tailed the fact that "the disease (Texas cattle fever) commenced its ravages in Arkansas in 184 U, killing „thousands of cattle, while no such thing was known in Texas at that time.; It, continued to rage for ten years; andilisSappeared about' the time Texas eattle'were introduced." • . ; • -.- litow here is um - array -of -facts adverse to the;theciry•that Texas - cattle imparts this disease, that. is worthy of ,consiaera tion.
