LOOKING UNDER THE BED.
FUOM IIAItrLT.S MAGAZINE.
It is the habit of many persons to take
a look under the bed before retiring for
the uight. Mrs. Lvergrecn, my btlovtJ
wile, indulges, if inJulgeuce it can be
called, in this peculiar practice. I do
not object to it in the least so long as bbe
does not enforce the perlorniance upon
myself; but when, as is sometimes the
case, sno forgets it until she lias put out
the liiiht aud cusconscd herself under the
couiloi tcr, then it is hard that I', who am
not troubled with nervous apprehensive-
ness, should have to get out in the cold
and do it for her. I have often remarked
to Mrs. Evergreen, when I have seen her
prying uuder the bed, that it was a silly
habit, and that the sooner she gave it up
the better. To this gentle admonition
my Letter-hail invariably rrjuios :
'La, Evergreen ! what harm does it
do? It's a kiud of satisfaction to know
that nobody's under there, and then I
don't think of such a horrible thing alter
I'm ia bed."
"I think, my dear, you might just as
well pursue your investigations further
aud look into the bureau drawers and the
clothes-basket."
' Evergreen," she will rejoin, "don't
mention the' idea, or I shall certainly do
so. Come to think of ic a man could
very easily get into the clothes basket."
' Certainly he could, my dear, quite as
easily as Fal.-.taff. You 1 hould certainly '
include the clothes basket ;
nd ty-the by, '
there's the chimney ; why not look u; !
i that as well V

I me.
t never
will. It's a comfort for me to
kuow that there's nothing wrong about it,
aud I don't eec why you should deprive
me of it."
So under the bed goes the candle, and,
no sigus of humanity being discovered,
Mrs. Evergreen is able to repose in peace.
But, as already observed, this precaution
ary act is sometimes forgotten, and I am
myself oLliged to rise, light the lamp,
aud report. I've done it more frequently
of late thau is agreeable, aud have inti
mated as much to Mrs. Evergreen. She
Isays
'Very well, Evergreen, I'll do it my-
self"
But this procedure is al.nostasbad, for
sdie iuvariably lets the cold in on me both
in getting out and getting in. If it were
not for increasing this mental idiosyncrasy
on the part of Mrs. Evergreen, by giving
her some good reason to apprehend dang
er, I should relate to her what I am absut

All young men, I suppose, have lovc-

not regret it. Ilcgrct it ? far from it.

1 had my l.lo to live over ag
to go through with the same sentimental
experience, particularly if it was to he
succeeded by arraia leading to the hyme
neal alter the present Mrs. Evergreen.
I was not bad-lookiug when I was in
my twenties. I think I may go farther,
aud confidently say that "Gus Evergreen"
was a decided favorite among the girls of
Oakvi'i'c, and I really believed that I
could have had any of- ihcm "for the ask
ing." As I before remarked, Mrs. Ever
green is not present, and I iudulgo my
thoughts somewhat more freely than
would otherwise be the case. I do not j
think that I cared particularly fur any of
the Oakvil'e girls, however, aud I might
have kept my heart whole to this day if
it had not been for the circumstances
which I am about to relato.
Fred Evans, who Iiad been my chum
at school, came to make me a visit at Oak
ville for "a day or two," as he said, when
he came; but he made if a week or two
easily enough after I'd taken him about a
little among the "young ladies." When
that time had expired Fred s-ud he really
must go, as he didn't know what his fath
er and mother would thiuk uf his long
absence ; but it ended in his relieving
. i i i . . . i i-
tncir auiieiy vy a iu;ier auu senutng lor
his trunks. I kucw how the matter was
perfectly well, and that IJelle IJronscn
had bewitched him out of his five senses.
Fred tried to put it on to the "country air
and the quiet which was benefiting his
health, etc.' but it was no use trying to
deceive me, and I told bim so. Then he
owned up frankly, and I promised to help
htm all I could, if he required any help
in the prosecution of his suit. 1 never
thought Jielle a flirt, cr that she would
willingly distress any human beiug; but
she had a way of looking in one's eyes as
if to captivate them, for her mere per
sonal amusement, at any rate she had a
larger share of beaux than the other
girls, but all their attentions came to
nothing. I feared it might be so with
Fred Evans, aud warned him accordingly,
but Fred said he'd "have her if he tried
al! his life," that "without her life was
naught to him," that "she was the only
living being who had ever awakened a
real emotion iu his breast," etc. After
that I had said no more, but closely ob
served the lovers, and soon came to the
conclusion that Fred was by no means
disagreeable to her. Things wcut on in
this way without any definite result until
Fred received a sudden summons home
on accoui.t of his niolher'3 illuess. When
he came back to rcuew his visit he insist
ed upon staying at the Oakville Hotel
rather than wear out his welcome at our
Louse, aud findiug remonstrance unavail
ing, there he went. The landlord (hon
est old Downsbury I wonder if he yet
lives) gave Fied, at my suggestion, his
best bedroom, "No. 20" I am particular
iu mentioning the number. "He shall
have no 20," said Downsbury. "Any
friend of yours, Master Augustus, shall
have the best I have to give as long as
'Im landlord."
It was a pleasant room, looking out on
the distant hills and the beautilul wiud
iug branch of the Blackwatci ; but what
cared Fred for scenery ? he was in the
hands of the blind god, and could not
see even as far as his nose, except iu the
direction of Belle's cottage. I used to
go over to Fred's room aud smoke my ci
gar, while he, poor wretch, expatiated on
his 6uffrings, doubts, and solicitudes.
Did she love him ? that was the question
which disturbed every moment of his ex
istence, and ta which, with the closest
reasoning, he could not bring himself a
satisfactory reply. Sometimes ho thought
a word or a sigu settled the point beyond
Joubt iu his favor ; at others he fancied
read a cooluess aud indifference inhersc!f, losing hcnelfia s!eep; when suddenly,

ojesXilu this condition ef uncertainty
he dared not press thS question lest a

At Fred's earnest solicitation I promis -
e-1 to sound Delkas to her Bectiments, if
a favorable opportinity presented itself,
or at atiy rate to ht her know, in an iudi -
rect way, that Frul waa languishing in
distress on her acewnt, and thus give her
no escuse for uniecessarily prolonging
his misery. It si hapoened, however,
that my serriees wre not called into re -
quisilion. Belle Uronon, because of the
sudden arrival at her house of some coun-
try cousins, flas obliged to give up hor
room her moSier's cottage being a snn;ll

have offered her jtests accommodation at j tiously rasscd her arm under and around
our house, but we vp.ro. in the samn uro. as far as it could reach. I almost felt
dicament. An .lgrcultural fair in the
village had brought niany strangers into
the place, and our ou guests were so nu
uierous that I had given up my room to
two ot them, and had intended asking
Fred Evans to let me pass the uight with
him. - -
For this purpose I went to the hotel at
a late hour, and rroeeidud at once to
Fred's room, bul to my surprise found no
one there. I did not even notice that his
trunk was goce, or suspect the fact, which
afterward became apparent, that "to oblige
some Udy guest for this u'ght only," as
the landlord expressed it, Fred Lad con
sented to give up "Xo. 20" aud occupy a
small room in the rer.r of the building
The gas being turned up I took a book to
await his return, and hearing at least
what appeared to be steps approaching eatte upou me lest my unconscious roum
the room, and supposing it to Le Fred, in uiate might yet peer beneath the Led for
a momentary impulse to play a joke upon rubbers before she left the room ; but my

high one, intending to imitate a cat (of ! dresed expeditiously, for she was to j'dn
which animal I knew he had a detcsta- h'r cousins at an eatly breakfast, and
tion) so soon as he entered th room she had overslept herself. When at lu.-t
Tlia Jnr opened, and I was on the ptiitit she took the key, unlocked the door, and
of indulging in my vc-Qirilcqual faculty depatted. I lost no time in slipping out
by giving a long-drawn mnotr, when from
mv liidmo-place I btlic d Be !o Bronoon
take quiet possession of the apartment !
My astonishment wa3 so great, aud the
sense of mortification fo intense, that 1
did not, as I should have due, make my-
se!f imwcdiutely kmwn to hor. Thus
the opportunity for discovery and expla
nation was lost. I dared not tnovo a
hair, but hopca sincerely that some ex
cuse might take her out of the room for
a momeut, and so facilitate my escape.
She, however, locked the door, removed
the key, and, as I knew by the sound,
prepared to retire. Finally she kneeled
down beside the bed, and clasping her
hands aud Lowing her head (so fcariully
near to mine that I could hear the s i.
words in my very ear, ) she offered up
her evening prayer in a manner so full of
feeling, and with such sweet accents cf
womanly tenderness and devotion, that I
felt as if she was an angel Lending over
the vilest of mortals. The paryor went
to my heart; tut ouc portion of it went
through it and held it captive. Never
shall I forget my feelings of surprise
aud uiy deep emotion when I heard her
utter these words: "Bless my dear moth
er, sisters and friends ; bless all around
:uo, and, O God ! bless him I love, Au
gustus Evergreen, and shower down thy
mercies over him. Amen." "Ah, Au
gustus," said my divinity to herself, as
she arose from her devotional attitude,
"if you but knew that I named your
very name in my rayers, you would be
less indifferent to me !''
If I breathed short before, after this
u-y breath seemed tt desert me eutirely,
and I verily thought that the beating of
my heart would betray me. Beile, pure
as an angel to me then, and white as a
snow-flake, proceeded to turn off the gas
and to get into bed. I felt her soft press
ure over my head, aud shrunk closer and
closer to the hard floor upon which I
was extended. What thoughts rushed
through my brain . Above me lay a young
and unsophisticated girl wholly uucon-
scious that the oue she loved lay so close-" him in town one day, 1 insisted on b-nig-lv
to her. and who had f.r th fir:t tima ing him home with me and presenting
been made aware of her interest in biru,
by hearing words which she supposed
went only to Heaven ! I kucw then that
the night must pass away, and the morn
ing come, and that Belle must first leave
the apartment before I could venture to !
change my position.
Be! le had laiu perfectly motionless for '.
several minutes and was, I flattered my- j
'she exclaimed to heraelf,l'Ika it
haven't looked under the bed !" A hor-
ror ran through me; all 13 . lost ; 'vhat
' should I do ? Belle rose and I heard her
feeling for the matches, b'he struck one
! ar.d was moving toward the gas light,
J when the lurifcr -ent out, leaving all
j darkness again. Blessed relief; but how
brief! Again I heard her feeling for the
' matches and try to light one after another,
j as they failed to ignite; then oc "Oh
' dear ; there are no more !" escaped from
! "cr lips. "Safe! safe! whispered my
soul to me, and I thanked God in silence
fur my deliverance. Belle groped back
: the hod, but did not immediately get
! in : she stor-ricd and lifted the certains
her fiugtrs graze my face as I held ray-
self fearfully and silently against the wall
loo far, just too far for her reach. Appa
rently sati.-Ged that do danger was near
her, she lay down in the bed again and I
counted her respirations till she was lost
io slumber.
As for myself, sleep was utterly out of
the question. I never was so wide awake
in my life How I lay upon that hard
carpet and thought the night out l-thou-ht
of her, and her love for u.c;
thought of
Yes, I was
j " J-elf, and my ljve for her,
convinced from that moment that the
baud of destiny was in it, and that a
benign and allwite Providence had seen
fit in this cxtroardin.iry way to open my
eyes to the path ol happiness and peace.
With the morning light fresh fears
of my shameful place of concealment and
! cscai.tDi lrom the hotel. On the stairs
I met Fled coming out of Lis room, w h j
j exclaimed :
1 "Why what's the matter with you, old
fellow ' You look like the last days of
!in ill srent life. Aud vour coat, too
why, it's all over feathers and dust.
Where have you been V
"Why, I slept slept oti last night;
that's all. Our bouse is full, and so I
had to find quarters elsewhere. I'm just
'oiti'' home to dress."
O is
"I should say, so, decidedly. I sec it
ail, old fcl'.tw ! Y'ou've been on a lark,
aud k". 1 to put up in the watch-house;
come now, owe up and tell us all about
it."
"No lark at all, Fred ; nothing of the
kiuJ, I assure you."
"Well, 11 not a 'arc what kind ot a
bird was it ? From the look? of the
feathers I should say it was ayoo.se."
" l'vu're the goose, Fred
I:
ut, seri-
ously, I've a wotd to say to you of a
mos'. important nature. Be a man, Fred,
ond make up your mind to hear some,
thing excessively disagreeable. It must
be told you sooner or later, and I may as
well tell it now."
"Good- Heavens, Gus ! Low earnest
you look at me; you don't mean to say
that that anything has. happened to
Belle Bronson?"
"Don't mcntain her name again, Fred,
or think of tier any more, for she'll. never
be any thing to you. I have it from oue
who knows all about it, that she has long
been attached to somebody else, and that
somebody else, and that somebody else
meaus to many her. There s no mistake
about it ; so bear up and try your luck
elsewhere."
But Fred Evans was not fo be discour
aged by mere heresay. That very day he
went to sco Beile, determined tj knew
hisjate from her own lips. Soon after
he left Oakville and 1 did not see him
nrmin for several years, when, meeting '

him to bis old flame, Belle Bronson the

"Ah, Fred !" said he, after dinner,
when my wife and tho little Evergreens
had left us to ourselves "Ah, Fred, you

Hotel, and the love that, grew out of it.
TALE OF A STOLEN COW.
A good many years ago, a man stole a
cow from Morristown, f. J., and drove
her to Philadelphia for sale. She waa a
common cow enough, except that she bad
lost all her tail but about six inches.
j The thief, fearing by the shortness of her
: tail he might be traced, bad procured id
some way, probably from a slaughter
house, an other cow's tail, which he fast
ened so ingeniously to the shor: tail, that
it was not tc be kuowa that it had not
regularly grown there. As soon as the
Jorsemaa had missed his cow, he set of?
for Philadelphia, thinking she would prob
ably be carried there for sale, and it hap
pened that when he came to the ferry ha
got into the same boat that was conveyiujj
over bis cow, and the fellow that stole her.
As it was natural that he should have hi
thoughts very much upon cows, he soou
began to look at this one with great at-tc-ution.
She was indeed very much like
his cow, he thought. Her marks agreed
wonderfully, and she had exactly the sau.e
expression of face, but the expression of
htr (ail was so very much different It
must be supposed that the new owener of
the cow felt rather uncomfortable during
this examination , for he soou saw that
this was the person whose property he
hud stolen, and he was very uneasy least
he should take hold of the tail which ha
looked at so i-outiuuully. L'pou tho
whole, he thought it best to direct his at
tention in some way if possible, and there
fore steps up to him and says : 'neighbor,
this is a fiee cot of mine; won't you
bay her? You seen to know what a good
ow is.'
'Oh ! dear me,' says the other, 'I'vo
just had a cow stolen from me.'
'Well, says the thief, 'I'm very Sorry
to hear that they've got to stealing ca'tle;
but I'll sell off, aud you could not better
replace your loss thau by buying this cow;
I will warrant she is as good as yours.'
'Why,' says the Jerseymay, 'she waa
exactly lik this-one, and if this one had
not such a long tail, I'd swear it was my
cow.'
Everybody began to look at the cow's
tail, but the thief stood nearer to it than
anybody, and taking hold of it so as to
cover the splicing with his left hand, and
with a jack knife in his right hand, point
ing to the tai1, he said, 'so if this cow's
tail were only so long, you'd swear she
was yours.
'That I would,' say3 the otter, who
began to be very much confused at the
perfect resemblance to his cow, except in
this one particular, when the thief, with
a sndden cut of the knife, took off the
tail just about an inch above the splic
ing, acd throwing it overboard, bloody as
it was, turned to the other acd said, 'now
swear ii is your cow !'
The bewilderment of the poor man
was now complete, as he had seen the tail
cut off, and saw the blood trickling from
it, he could of course, lay no claim to the
animal from the thortness of her tail ;
indeed, here was proof positive that this
was not his cow ; so the thief going over
with him, sold the cow without any fur
ther fear of detection.
