Such jiorsoiis mi st, before contemplating MARRIAGE, reflect that a sound mind uud body arc the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happi ness. Indeed without these, the journey through life becomes a weary pilgrimage! tho prospect hourly darkens to the view; the mind becomes shadowed with despair uud tilled with the melan choly retlcclloii, that the happiness of another becomes blighted with our own.

I was clerk in their store My name is DoraT Timothy Do ray, My wife's name is Letty, for short, and my thrco-ycnr old baby a mighty fino boy is nick-iiamf-d Toddler. Misfortunes, which is not necessary to specify, luivo forced nio lo work nt a salary of seventy-five dollars per month to support this family, whom 1 hold dearer than any thing else on earth. At tho limo of my loss, or rather tho latter part of April, I, with tho other clerks, labored early nnd late, day and night, tho season of trade being unusually active, to which was added our prepara tions ibr removing on tho first of May to the new store of tho firm. Business kept mc jumping all the time. I swallowed my breakfast iu a few nioulhfuls, in order to bo in lime at tho store. I lived so far away, over two miles, that I couldn't go to dinner. Oftentimes I went without my supper, reaching homo at eleven o'clock at uight. Consequently I only saw Toddler to sx.ak to him on Sundays, and my wife perhaps an nour or two a uay. JCo woudor sho was lonesome and given to imaginings of tho worst kind as to my condition of body, fancying mo dead or mutilated, the victim of some dire calami ty, whenever I failed to come home at tho usual time. All in till, it was a dog's life; but what cau a fellow do when he's its poor as nn ecclesiastic mouse. One night lelty asked abruptly as I en tered : "Seen Dr. Craven to-day, Tim ?' "2svo," was my answer, ''it's not the first of tho mouth." "Dtlt hos bcou here. Our rent is to be raised ten dollars a month from tho first of May," and she drew back ns if the belter to study my face under the effect of tho an nouncement. Then, as I was silent, she burst out with : "We'll stay, of course. We'll live and work fur him, instead of ourselves and the baby." "I can't get away from the store to huut a house." "Leave it to mo. I'll get one nearer the, store, cheaper rent, nnd a newer building. It cau be done. I'll do it if you'll let me." "All right. I prophesy tears for your trouble." "Not more than if we stay. You don't realize what we have to endure, with no one but Toddy to amuse me." "JJo more social with your neighbors," I suggested. "My neighbors !" scornfully. "That's just like a man. Do you know who are our neighbors ? Of course not. A pros perous, wholcsalo washer-woman on one side, and a dilapidated old quack doctor and his mummilied wife on the other ; in front, a parade ground for geese. Visitors none save that insurance solicitor, who seems to como ouly when you 6)eud an evening at home, aud so spoil my happi ness with his figures. believe lie "watches for you. Aud his wife what a dowdy. 1 shall die if 1 have to stay." "Do ns you like, but tho time is short. I wish I could go." "Jlush 1 nut a word. I'll be glad to do it, you good old man. I'll begiu in the morning." The next evening I was lucky enough to reach home by nine o'clock, and get a kiss and a hug from Toddler, napping in his mother's arms, lie had been enjoying life with Widow Martin's little girl next door, and so his dissipation kept him awake longer than usual. "I have seen one cottage that I think will please you," began my wife. "It's! about a mile from your store, and we've becu living two miles away, you know." "Horse cars or 'bus to ft ?" "That's the trouble. There aro neither of these at present. You must walk." "Can't do it." "It will do you good. Walking is a healthy exercise." "Ci'u't help it I've corns." "Cut them !" speaking with sharp deci sion. "What nre corns compared with health nnd happiness-" "And the shado trees, and yard and neighborhood r" were my next Interroga tories. "Shado trees ono currant bush ! Yard large enough for it cord of wood, saw-buck and a man to saw ; nnd the neighborhood quiet and moral, being near a small ceme tery. I knew you would not like the place. I'll search agaiu to-morrow." "That's right. Don't despair. Oct the boy a yard that shall bo largo enough to tau his hide by the sun, of course." "Timothy ! JIow can you talk so about your darling t Suppose- wo should lose Toddler. "We'll not suppose it. Try again Ixtty. Perhaps you'll run into nn atom of Kdeu that will come within the limits of our Spinncrless treasury. Wo must leave here, as the lilU'tor ll:ia r.tntfwl it Xr ! toM t.O-(l.'ll Tfni-i'u tli. tii,i.iiiw. ....w... T ..,.. ' .v j a !. ... i.iii a see what places want a tenaut." Iu half au hour she had a list of places to see the next day. Wo must Mud some thing or live in the street, which would bo unpleasant, though economical. It was settled tho next night. I knew by her smiles. A lovely cottage situated so, with two poplars iu front, a largo back yard large enough to hold our week's wash ing on the line ; half a miln walk, with 'busses, cars, and all the modern improve ments." "Ilobsou's choice, my dear," was my comment. "The best we cau get for our moucy, I thiuk," she replied. That settled it. The next day would be the first of May, according to calendars aud landlords. My wife kindly volunteered to superintend the moving, us I should be busy all day aud night ut the store trans ferring goods. "Get the most honest nud weakest look ing expressman you can find, aud then llee 1 To move successfully, my dear, is au act more difficult than to win a battle." "In theory, Tim, for you" said Letty. "For you, to-morrow, it will bo prac tice." A look of grim resolve camo over her face, and I felt that wo were already half moved. I signed the lease, aud thou wo went iuto dill'erent rooms together, that I might say, or look good-bye. "Wo havo been happy here," whispered j lijy will;. "We shall not leave the dormant echo of au unkind word," which was tho truth. "I am thankful ve have had ever this poor shelter," 1 said, as I closed the door to the last room visited, never again to bo opeued to me. I had gono some distanco that evening, when it Hashed upon my miud, iucident to busiucfes at the store uud mauy bouses lo AMERICAN. rent, about which wo had been talking, the location of our new home had passed en tirely out of my mind. "Put it down on paper," I said to my wifo after reluming. "I cant trust my memory for a day or two." I put the slip iuto my pocket and turned away. "Dou't go, Tim," spoko Letty, with a sudden ana unusual sadness in her voice. Her eyes were tearful. "It's bad luck to como back agnin." "Phsaw I An old woman's superstition. I'll see you to-morrow, nil cosily settled, trood-by 1 Good-by, Tod I" "Hood-by, papa I" cried Tod, with a cry I heard until I turned tho corner, thanking God for giving mo such a good patient lov ing wifo, nnd a boy that was ns smart and strong as could bo found in the city. 'Tisn't that has such blessings, nor the half of them ; morc's the pity for tho good of Ihc world. That was a hard work wo did that night and day for Crutch As Armless. Not a minuto's let up uutil thrco o'clock in the morning, when we had a hot supper and nn hour's rest. Then at it we went again for tho day. I labored iu my thoughts with mv wifo nud her share of trouble, and with wonder ing as to how sho was getting along, nnd performing my duties ns mechanically as a stcm engine. It was a very long day to mc, nnd not one of the men was more glad than I when, early iu tho evening Mr. Crutch como to the ollice door nnd said they thanked tm very much for Ihc way we had worked and what wo had done and that wc might quit until the next day. Ho guessed matters would run smoothly now. I was anxious to seo my family nnd hurried away. After lapid walking for n couple of blocks, it suddenly occured to mo 1 was on my way to my old residence, nnd that the street aud number was utterly passed from my memory, and that my wile had given mc a memorandum. Stopping under a gas light. I felt in my pocket where the paper should have been. It was not there. All the other pockets searched, turned inside out : but the pre cious paper was not lo be found. It didn't matter how I lost it, it was gone. Then I tried my best to recall the location, but half a dozen numbers and streets came iuto my mind all at once. I had uo trail of the home of my wife and child. At nine o'clock at night who could tell me where I lived. I was so worn out with work that this predicament brought the tears to tuy eyes for a minute. Apprclicn lions culminated nnd I shivered. What would Letto think of this absence Where, O, where was she? When it came into my confused bruin sho had said some thing about Stewart avenue tho number I could not recall I started on a run for that street nud, reaching it, wandered to nnd fro, scanning tho windows to sec her face, the houses to note if nny one of them answered to the description sho had given. Vaiu labor. Sick at heart I retraced my steps aud -.vent to the police headquarters. "What is wanted V" said the polico offi cial. "Au odd occurrence I have lost my wife." "Yes I Dlcss your soul that's not odd. Men come here with that news every day. Do yon know the road what traiu she look 1"' he queried.

What a miserable, unhappy night thai was 1 Nearly the whole lime was passed in a chair by the window, at the hotel whero I had stopped. I couldn't sleep. If my eyes closed iu drowsiness, I was imme diately beset by terriblo dreams about my wife and child. Awake, my thoughts were Conjectures and apprehensions about their safety. I pictured llictn siek, alone iu a strange neighborhood, with no one to ap peal to for assistance. I imagined robbers working at the doors, or rutlians making night hideous with their blasphemy. No evil seemed impossible of success against those defenseless two, uow that 1 was away. As I drowsed now aud then, 1 would be aroused by what seemed the plaintive, be seeching cull of my wifo as if sho were in thu room. Au alarm of tiro was sounded, and I pictured to myself Cho burning of my house. Such a night I hope I may never again endure, so filled was every miuute aud hour with the most horrid fancies. When the gray light of early mot uing spread through liie streets, and copio be gan to move about, 1 tottered out of that dismal hotel, uud went shivering aud wea ry into thu half night, half day, so that I might walk away from tho thoughts that had tormented my soul iu the darkness.

Sometimes I fniiphed aloud at my posi tion, which Would be so ludicrous when we Were 'again United. As the sun rose so rose my spirits, and I stepped off briskly, waudering here nud there iu regions to inu heretofore unknown. Tho panorama of high life and low life at live o'clock in iho morning is unique but attractive. Finally I settled down in a restaurant for my breakHist, aud unfolding my morn ing paper. There was my advertisement. What an odd thing to be sure. How we would laugh over it somo dny--perhaps to day or to-morrow, wifo and I. "Eh V What's this I cried out to my self as my eyes rested on this paragraph in a prominent place. "Missing. Mr. Timothy Dorey lias been missing from his homo sineu the night of April 30.

' In all my life I never knew of anything quite so extraordinary a husband and wifo lost iu a city, and each advertising for the other. I could hear my heart beat with joy as I realized that at last there was a clue to my home. Not a mouthful of breakfast had been eaten. I was feasting on the joy of my discoveries. I contemplated for a few min utes in an epicurean way, the (hftuner of a discovery, then started for the ollice of that excellent morning paper, that valuable journal whose circulation was limited ouly by uudiseovered and unexplored lands.

I felt like catching her up in my arms, so great was my delight, but a duo regard for the publio restrained that exess of emotion. As it was I looked at her with hungry eyes, and with my heart bumping in my throat and my tongue dangled with a con fusion of words I wanted to utter all at once. I presented a stature of glad sur prise, motionless as if iu stone. "Why don't you speak, Tim, to your poor wife V Tell her what has kept you away so long I Jxit us uot stand here wilh tho people staring so." "I'm happy now, wife, to begiu wilh.

Tho officer wrote back stating that the porter named had conveyed his baggage from one station to tho other, and that he would otherwise have had to make use of a cab, which would have cost Is.

Whilo the high price of meat in England is creating' wide-spread discontent, and the provincial butcheries are clamoring for free trado in. foreign cattle, it appears probable that im-, porlations into England from the continent, most be slopped altogether in consequence of an extraord inary outbreak of the cattle plague, in continental countries. It is said, that of late every cargo of cattle from llus sia has included diseased animals. Largo numbers of infected cattle havo been disco, vorcd among those lately landed from tier-, many, and carcasses of diseased animals are frequently washed ashore on tho coast,, having been thrown overboard from ships destined for English ports. It is consider ed essential to the safety of English herds that rigid restrictions should be placed on importations of live stock under the condi tion of nll'airs, and this will tend to still' further increase the price- of animal food, A llEAi TiFi r.
