Three Brave Men.
Pretty Laruara Ferros would not
marry. Iler motacr vra in consterna
tion. ''Why are you so stubborn. Par
bara,'' ebe asked, "You have plenty of
livers." . ..-: .1.
"lint lliey do nut fuit me,' said Bar
bara, coolly tying her curls before the
mirror.
Why not?" ! ' ;
r"I want, wheu I marry, a man who is
brave equal to any emergency.. If I
give up my liberty, I waut to be taken
care of."
"Silly child ! what is the matter with
Big Barney, the blacksmith V '
"He is big, but I never learned that he
was brave.
"And you never heard he was not '
What is the matter with Ernest, the gun
smith r' -" . ...
"He's as placid as goat's milk.'-.
"That ie no sign he is a coward.
There ia little Fritz, tho tanner, he is
quarrelsome enough for yon, surely." .
'-lie is no bigger than a bantum cock.'
It is little he could do if the. house was
set upon by robbers."
"It's not always strength that wins a
fight, gill . It takes brains as well as
brawn. - Come now, Barbara, give these
fellows a fair trial ".'
' Barbara turned her face before the mir
ror, lcttins down one raven tress and'
hooking np anolher. "I will, mother,''
said she at last. - ' .
That evening Ernest, the guusmith
knocked at the door "Vou cent for me,
Barbara ! he afked, going to tho girl,
who stood upon the hearth., coquettishly
warming one foot then the other.
'Yes, Ernest," she replied ''I've
been thiukiug of what you said, the
night, when yon were here." .
Weil, Barbara." .:ir -. ' i ,
Ernest spoke qnietly, but hie dark blue
e es flashed, and he looked at her in
teuly. v ,
"I want to test jou." ' H
"UOW?" , -
"I want to see if you dare do a very
disagreeable thing " . .', , i
- "WLatia itJ" .. . .,- - .
"There is an old coffin up stairs. It
smells of moulJ. They say Redmond the
murderer was buried iu it, but the devil
came for his body and left the coffin
empty at the end of the week, and it was
finally taken from the tomb. It ia up
stair in the room my grandfather died
in, and they say" graudsire does not rest
easy in' Lis grave for' some reason
though . that I know nothing about.
Dare you make tliat your bed to night ?"
-Ernest laughed. ' is that all ! 1 . will
do that and sleep soundly. - Why. pretty
one, did you think I had weak nerves f '
"Your nerves have a good proof if you
undertake it. , Remember, no one sleeps
in that wing of the honee." . .
, . "I (ball sleep the souuder."
"Good night, then.- I will send a lad
to show you the chamber. . If you stay
there until morning," said the imperious
Barbara, with a uoJ of her 'pretty head,
1 will marry you." , .( t , r
"you vow it !'' - , -"I
vow it.'"
'. Ernest tnrned straightway and follow
ed the lad iu waiting through dim rooms
and passages, , up echoing stairs, along
narrow, damp ways, whore rats scuttled
before them, to a low chamber. The boy
looked palo, autf'sscired, and evidently
wanted to hurry away, but Ernest made
him stay until he took a survey of the
room'by the aid . of his lamp. . It was
very large and full wf recQsees, with high
windows in ' them, which were barred
across.' - He remembered that old grand
ire Ferr os had been crazy several years
before Lis death, so that this precaution
had been necessary for the safety of him
self and others. In tho center of the
jumuta; couNir, pen-a.;
room stood a coffin ; beside it was placed
a chair.'4 The room was otherwise empty.
Emeet stretched himself in the coffin.
'Be kind enough to tell Mies Barbara
that it't a Teiy .gfK)',4at-jaa4d be ,The
boy went out and shut the door, leaving
tho gunsmith alone in the dark.-" -'
Meanwhile, Barbara was talking with
the blacksmith ia the keeping-room
"Barney,' said she, pulling her hands
away from his grasp when he would have
kieerd her,' ''I,ve a test to put yon to be
fore I give yon my answer. ' There is ' a
a corpse lying In. the chamber where my
grandsire died, in the untenanted whig
of the house. - If you dare sit with it
there all night, and let notliing drive
you from your post, yon will not ask .me
to marry you iu vain." ' : '
"You will give me a light and a bottle
of wine, and a book to read
"Nothing.'; :!,i , - , .
"Are these all the conditions yon can
offer me, Barbara ?" . , ; .
"All. . And if yon get frightened you
ahull never look me in the face." -
"I'll take them, then."
So Barney was conduct! to Lis poat
by the lad, wbo bad been instructed m
the secret, and whose voluntary stare at
Erneet's placid face as it lay in the coffin
was of a corpse. .. He took his seat and
the boy left hiia alone with the darkness,
the rats and the coffin. . ,
Soon after young Frits, the tanner, ar
rived, flattered and hopeful, from the
fact that Barbara had sent for him.
"llave yon changedyourmind, Barbara Y'
he at-ked. "
"No; I shall not until I know that
you can do a really a brave thing."
'What shall it be? I swear I shall
satisfy you, Barbara."
"I have a proposal to mahw to you. -Sly
plan requires skill as well as cour
age.. . .
"Tell me! . .
"Well, in this house U a man watch
ing a corpse, tie sworn not to leave bis
post until morning. If yon can make
him do it I shall be satisfied that you are
as smart and as brave as I require a hus- j
baud lo be."
Why nothing ia so easy !" exclaimed
Fritz." "I can scare him away. Furnish
me with a sheet, show me the room, and
go to your rest, Barbara. You will find
me at the post in the morning
Barbara did as he required and saw
the tanner step blithely away to bis task.
It was then nearly twelve o'clock, and
she sought her own chamber.
, Barney was sitting at his vigil, and so
far all bad been well. The night seemed
very long, for be had no means of count
ing the lima At times a thrill went
through him, for it seemed as if be
could bear low, suppressed breathing not
far awav. but he persuaded himself it
was the wind blowing through the crevi
ces of the old house. Still it was very
lonely, and not at all cheerful.
The face in the coffin gleamed whiter
through the darkness. The rats squeak
ed as if famine were bpon them, and
theyjjsmelled ' flesh. "'The thonght made
him shudder lie got up and walked
about, but something made a slight noise,
as if somebody was behind him, and he
put his chair with the back against the
wall, and sat down again. He had been
hard at work all day, and in spite of
everything, he grew sleepy.' Finally
he nodded and snored.
Suddenly it seemed as if somebody
had touched him ! i He awoke with a
start and saw somebody near, though in
the center of the room stood a white fig
ure. "..''Curse you' get out of this!" he
exclaimed in a fright, using :he very first
words that came to his tongue. The
figure held up its right arm and elowly
approached him. ' He started to his feet.
The spectre came neaer, preesiug him in
to the corner., . .
- 'The devil take you," cried Barney in
his extremity.
Involuntarily he stepped back ; still
the fignre advanced," coming nearer and
nearer, and extending both arms as if to
take him ia a ghostly embrace. - The hair
started upon Barney's head, he grew des
perate, and as the ' gleaming arms would
have touched him,' he fell upon the' ghost
like a whirlwind, tearing off the sheet,
thumping, pounding, kicking and beat
ing, more and more enraged at the re
sisunce he met, wbich'told him the truth.
As .the reader knows, Barney was big
and Fritz was little ; and while pummel
ing the little tanner .unmercifully, and
Fritz was trying to lunge at Tarney'g
stomach, to take the wind out of him,
both plunging and kicking like horses,
they were petrified - to hear a voice cry :
"Take one of your size. Big Barney."
Looking around,' tbey saw the corpse
sitting up in his coffin. 1 This was too
much. They released each other and
sprung for the door. They never knew
how they got out ; but they ran home
panting like stags.
. Jt was Barbara herself who came and
opened the door upon Ernest the next
morning. - . . . . .
' "It's very early ; one more little nap,"
aid be turning over in hie coffin. .
So she married him ; and though else
sent Fritz and Barney invitations to the
wedding, they did not appear.. If they
discovered the trick, they kept the know
ledge to themselves, and never willingly
faced Barbara's laughing eyea again. -

ALWAYS BE9LX KI6IIT.
We once knew an old Friend who had
but one piece of advice to yonng begin
ners ; it was, "If thee'll only begin right
all will go well " We have often though
that there was more in the recommenda
tion than even the good Quaker saw, for
there is scarcely anything to be done in
life to which the adage, "begin right"
will not apply. Success is but a syno
nym for beginning right. "
Who, for example, is the healthiest,
the early riser or the sloggard ? It is the
man whe begins the day right, by leav
ing his bed with the son, and inhaling the
freeh aii of morniug. not the one who re
mains till eight or nine o'clock in a close
chamber, sleeping a dull,' . stupefying
sleep . Who gets through his day's
work the earliest 1 The earlier riser. The
man of business who is at his store the
soonest, is always best prepared for the
customers of the day, an l often, indeed,
has sold many a bill before his laggard
neighbors were about. 'Sir Walter' Scott
used to have his day's writing half fiu-
ihcil be fore breakfast. A shrewd observer
hu gaid tW a coneamet the
day in trying to recover the hours he lost
iu the morning Mind and body are both
freshest early in the day. The lawyer
should think, the minister study, thri" au
thor write, the valetudinarian walk or
ride, and the mechauic or farmer be at
work as early as possible.
Nor is this all. The great bulk of en
terprises that fail owe their ruin to not
having been begun right. A business is
undertaken without sufficient capital
connection, or knowledge. It ends un
favorably. ' Why t Because it was not
begun right. A young professional
man, whose probationary period of study
has been spent in pleasure rather than
in bard reading, complain that he cannot
succeed. Why, again ? Because he has
not begnn right either. A stock compa
ny blows up. Still why T Ten to one,
tbe means employed are not adequate to
the end, or else it was started with inef
ficient officers, and in either case it was
not begun right. ' : Two young house
keepers break up their gay establishment.
the lady going home, perhaps, to her
father's, taking her husband with her.
Why t They did not be gin right, for
they commenced on too large a scale, for
getting that the expenses of a family iu
creases every year, aud that in uo event
is it safe for a man to live up to bis in
come. An inventor starts a manufac
tory, in which his improvements iu ma
chinery are brought into play ; but after
a while he finds himself insolvent ; hia
factory is Bold ; another reaps where he
has sown. Why ? Alas I like too many
others, he has undertaken more than he
has means to carry through ; he did not
begin right, and his ruin was the conse
quence. Hut, above all tilings, lite should be
begun right. Young men rarely know
bow much their conduct, during their first
few years, affects their success. It is
not only that older persons ia the same
business form their opinions of them at
this time, but that every beginner acquires
during these years,' habits for good or ill
which color his whole futuro career. We
eeen some of the ablest young men, with
every advantage of fortune and friends,
sow tbe seed of ruin and early death by
indulging too freely in the first years of
manhood. We have seen others, with
far less capacity, and without any back
ing but industry and energy, rise gradu
ally to fortune and influence. Franklin
is a familliar illustration of what a man
can do who begins right. If he had beeii
too proud to eat rolls iu the street when
he was a poor boy, he would never have
been Minister Plenipotentiary to the
Court of France
Always begin right ! Survey the
whole ground before yon commence any
undertaking, and you siyll then be pre
pared to go forward successfully. Neg
lect this, however, and you are almost
sure to fail. In other woruU, begin right
A good commencement is half the battle.
A false first step is almost certain defeat.
Begin right! " '', ' 'I.

Do you think yon can make a girl
lovely, if you do not make her
happy. There is not one restraint you
put on a girl's .nature there is not one
shock you give to her instincts oi affec
tin or ff.irt which will not be indelir
bly written on her, features with a hard
ness which is all the more pancful be
cause it takes away the brightues from
the eyes of innocence, and the charm
from the brow of vii toe. The perfect
loveliness of a woman's countenance can
ouly consist in that majestic peace which
is founded in the memory of happy attd
useful years full of sweet records;
and from the joiuing of this with that
yet more m;ij s'.ic childishness, which is
still full of change and promise,
opening always modest at once, and
bright with hope of better things to be
won, and to be bestowed. There ia no
