Sotnetbiug leas than a week ago, a Philadelphia gentleraao, with hia wife, sou and daughter, stood in tbo depot awaiting this traiu to Long Braucli. The gentleman, a fine-looking black- whiekered fellow, just in the forties, was called the prince of good fellow among hi cronies. lie cranked nnd drank gave fine supper, and spent money1 lav ihly. Women liked him, too, for he was polite, flattered them, and abounded iu small talk. Bat to lii.- wifo he wac a tyrant just the fort of a mau the wo man suffingiitf like to tear into pieces, and by iLi time he probably wishes they had. Auyihing was good enough for hi wife ; tio amount of pinching or economizing was considered hurtful to her, aud if she wanted a carriage or a hundred dollars, he was always too poor to giant it Rut. now, all suddenly, he seemed to repent himself of his past uukiudnes. e was about sending her, with the children, to Long Branch for a fortnight. Lie, himself, regretted that he cmld not accompany them, as business called him to New York. , But he would come for her, nnd she, meek, obedient and occus toined to all wifely aud unwifely sub million, was silent ; so the trio came to Long Branch, and stopped where all good Philadelphiansstop at (lowland's. They had been quietly domiciled for only a day, when the eon, who with a party of lads had been on an exploring expedition,' rushed 1 into his mother's room with "Say, mother ! fathera Ofrer at the West End !- "But your father is in Few York, Johnny. Yon mnet have been mis taken," said the meek, trusting wife. - "But don't you suppose 1 know my own father 7 I tell you mother, father is at the West End. . lie was titling iu one of them rooms off the hall talking with a lady with a lot of hair on her . head. I tell yon I'm going over to see him." Tbe wife's suspicions . were aroused. and goiug.with hereon, who acted as guide, the distance between the two ho tels was soon made, aud with her own eyes she beheld what ber son had related, aud escaped unseen. - Taking her son with her she returned to her own apart ments to muse, to think. If I were as astute as some people I might relate just what the thought' about. But I think most women can ' conjecture She un doubtedly cried first and "took on" Ml crushed disgraced and dishonored Then reaction took place, and tbe tinder in her soul took fire. It lacked half an hour U dinner.7 Dressing herself iu ber best gown and removing tbe trace of her suffering much as she cmld, she betook Lwaelf alone to the. West End to dine &h sent for one of the wait ers, described her nuaband, nnd it lie was in the dining room she desired to be seated in front of him. ; She waited un til such a gentleman was given a seat. when the waiter came for her, and in a moment the husband, 1 who was gaily chatting over a bill of fare to the 1 "Fair one with golden hair." saw ' something in the shape of another woman sitting nV-o-Btt, ' that made him feel queer. 'The wife looked at him' but said not a word. ' He looked at tbe end of his nose . and Into' a vacancy, which latter place was tbe face of hi fair haired partner. , 8he aaid he looked pale. He said he was not feeling well. ' ' The dinner diagged through, silence being preserved by the wife,1 while , con versation between the twain opposite her was not so brilliant aa it might have been under other ' eireuoxtatiaeav ' m tbaOmao ; seemed to grow Mk and wteskarfVAt length 'tW wife atwa d supping be tweoa the chair of tha aJitara, aaid h a i low tone to the blonde, "Excuse me mad am, but I observe my husband looks ill. and yon will please excuse him." Then, turning to her husband, she whis pered, "If you hope for mercy, come at once."... The blonde snickering a forced giggle as tbe hag band, excusing himself, accompanied bis wife to her hotel. What happened after I cannot say, only that there was a "new departure'' that evening for another watering-place. Long Branch Letter.,, :. . ,,. WORDS OF COMFORT TO MOTHERS. T A HOUSBKEBPBB. A woman who does mil ber own work who has very little means at her com mand, and who besides ia a mother of sev eral small children, none of whom are able to help her, or wait on themselves, but, j on the contrary, require constant atten tion, often baa weary moment of utter discouragement. Uer thoughts run some what in this way : "I am completely tired out, yet my work is not half done. I meaut to have accomplished so much to-day ; bnt I had bad kindling, and the fire has been poor in consequence ; then the baby has been cross, and the other children noisy and boisterous, and having them in-doors all the time this cold weather is so tiresome to them and to me. There are little stocking to be knitted, and shirts fur btuband to be made dear me, I am sure I do not see where I am going to find the time to do them But that is not the worst of it. My darling children are so neglected, I can't possible spare the time to traiu them aright ; and when I see other per son's children so quiet and orderly, and so neat aud well dressed, it makes me feel badly. I am afraid my children will turn oof raise: ably. It is seldom 1 can stop to correct them a I should ; and it is only on Sunday alternoon that I ever can get them, around me to talk to them tell them a story, or appear like a real, true mother to them.'' Dear mother be not dieconraged. That little iuuJay afternoon talk, the diotress which you display in yonr countenance whenever yonr child utters an evil word, or acts unkindly, and the prayful desire on your part to do them good, will have ite re ward Those little, quiet, peaceful talks will be as a grain of mustard-seed sown in g"od ground, which, although the seed is so small that it seems invisible to the human sight, shall spring up vigorous, strong and irresistible. If you do the best you can, depend upon it yon shall be rewarded. Again I say be not discouraged. Those children who are brought np in refinement and luxury, who have ser vants to wait upon them, and have every want and whim gratifind, are not always the children who make the strongest and noblest men and women. Those little ones, who are partially neglected through an actual want of lime on the part of their parents, and who have to rough it a little, are apt. in time, to fight manfully the battle of life Not that I advocate bringing np a child to "rough" it where circumstances made a different course possible. But I do say there is comfort and bope for the weary, distressed and discouraged mother who does all she ean, and more than her strength really war rants her in doing for ber children. Iletrth and Home. FAINT HEART .NEVER WON DESIRA ULE lOLSti SAN. A Saratoga correspondent writes : There is a nsw story afl at here, and un less Joe Miller has noticed it, it seems a fresh incident in human speculation. Lizzie A and Gertie B, two of the most beautiful girls of the year, fixed their hopes on Henry D, a grand parti, from New York, lloth girls are stylish, hand some and rich, and tbe favored swain was only hnsitating in tbe words of the old song : "How happy could I bo with either, -Were t'other dear charmer away." Both are girls of tbe period, and to that must be charged the story I am to tell. One afternoon Miss Lizzie and the yonng gentleman walked through the park after an ' extended stroll, during wl.ich much love making went on, and while passing through the balls 'of 'the Grant Union the lady suddenly fainted and fell fainting into the arms of her at tendant It was a bold strike, and ' vic tory for a moment seemed fastened there Gertie soon heard of this, and her fertile mind grew tired with scheming. At last a smile grew - upon her face. She owns the nicest pony phaeton in Saratoga, and the next day she tnvited the gentleman to ride. He accepted and met his fate. The well trained horse. as quietly going on his way, when suddenly the wheel came off, and the pretty Girlie lay faint ing on tbe bard road. The terrified Henry lifted her ia hia arms and bore ber to a convenient farm boose. For two days she refused - to raeover from the shock. On the third day the remorseful Henry, who waa ' constantly "with ber, could stand it no longer. He surreudeswd ; aha recovered, ana soon there is to be a wed ding in high life Now eotae tbt -touch of nttnre. i Mies Lizsi forgot ber loss in admiration of the grand coup . d"eta and baa already aongratuiated ber rival upon her brilliant victory. v, o it: -.7 I INDIANS OF WASHLSGTOS TEERITORT. Weaken Horseback BaMes aad Children-Merries and Old Cletbffr-Udinn Toilettes l Utheads-Talklng hlnook. The Indian women all ride astride. usually with a baby in front, and one of tender age sticking among the bundles and hags with which the pony is da par boned. ' Tliey are affeclionjte parents. never abtuiug, nor even punishing their j I . ii. . , cuiiurea, u comionaoie ignorance oi that mischievous, because misapplied. aphorism -"Spare not the rod" ka. In spite of this lack of discipline their chil drcn are said to be uniformly obedient. One rarely sees an Indian alone. Clannish in their habits, they straggle through tbe streets in companies, chat tering in an uuimpaaeioned, monotonous fashion. Ostensibly they support them selves by gathering the wild fruit that grow so generously ia this Territory. Tbe women gather and sell the berries, and they bring them ia oblong, open mouthed baskets covered with branches of fern, which attain a tropical luxuri ance, not no frequently measuriog seven feet in betgnt. These baskets have a band, fancifully woven, about two inches in width, which is passed over the head, the burden de pending backward on the shoulders. They are the "old cloth men" of the community, bartering their berries for j barns and other buildings on contract cast off clothing ; a comfortable arrange-: with composure and despatch, meut for tbe housewives here, for the In Wisconsin two gM. whoee works genus tin pedler is unknown on this rise np and call them blessed, bare for coast. Tbe fire-place is the repository six years managed a farm of one hnn of the numberless pieces that in thrifty dred acres and supported their father and New England would find their way to the paper mill. San Francisco is the nearest market for tbem, and that is too remote for profit. The Indians of both sex have rery ney nair, straight, black, coarse and Wel1' kePl ot dressed with oil. In j aavage condition tliey will never al low it to be cut. and it falls to their shoulders in elfish, matted locks. The men who mingle with the whites wear bats or caps, but the women and girls axe bare headed, or with a shawl a-la-IIiber-nia, or a handkerchief over the head The strap that sustains their baskets would conflict with millinery. They are rarely found as house servants, the in herited tendencies of generations dis qualifying them for the supererogatory virtues of order and cleanliness There have beeu known those in wLom these rare gifts flourished, and they would wash, iron, bake and mend with unex ceptional deftness. But in the most re liable the savngn nature breaks out occa sionally in rebellion against the restt aints of hebdomadal routine which nothing but a return to aboriginal unconvention al i lies can assuage. It is significant that a short sojourn is sufficient to recon cile tbem to civilization, and they will abide contentedly among their pots and pans till they have another attack. Tbey belong te the Flathead tribe, and tbe dirfigurement ia their stamp and standard of aristocracy, though not now as rigidly insisted upon as formerly. If the white mau is disposed to cavil at im provement npon nature, he must remem ber that it is only a difference of stand ard, aud this one triumph of style achiev ed, the Indian mother lives in blessed exemption of frizzes, fluting and tucks that barrow the daily existences of en lightened womankind The language used between them and the whites is the Chinook jargon.' A French priest in the interests of the Hudson Bay Company compounded it from French, Latin, Eng lish and Indian. By this device no one Unfamiliar with the jargon could trade with them, and the company held the key of communication and traffic. It contains about one hundred words and is easily acquired. It is said the Bret Chi nook word the newcomer learns is "flat a-wa," which signifies "go." Tbe first English who came to this Coast told the wondering Indians that tbey were ''King George's men," and now when an Indian wishes to designate the nationality of one of her most grailons Majesty's subjects in British Columbia, he calls him a "King chant man,", and the Americans are not known in tbeir dialect as Ameri cana,. , The. first trading ehi is front the Atlantic coast to these waters sailed from Boston ; the crew told the native they were Boston men, and thenceforth in Chinook nomenclature all Americans are characterized a-i 'B istoni,' a fact that may be a strengthing spoke for the ' hub."
