MONDAY MEMNGQESG. 10, 1860. ‘-‘ HIS WIFE’S SISTER”—A STORY OF A SA 013117013. .An elegant and philosophical writer says: "Man’s life is only a journey from one fond woman’s breast to another. It was probably the object of the author to refer particularly to the mother and wife. As the number of stop ng Places is not limited. however, I choose to accept the most catholic interpretation. 1 be , here that what the world usually calls “ incon . staney” is only the effort of nature to progress ‘ toward perfect affinities. If man in his journey of life stops at a good many ports, it stands to reason that he will acquire a much better know ‘ ledge of the world, and will eventually “lay . up” in the best haven. Let me give you a ”modified illustration of my idea}, I hove gt friend who has been subjective to a theory of purely physical progression. His first and earliest ‘ afl‘ection was for Curls. He became acquainted at the age of ten years with a. set of twelve, large ones at that. This capillary attraction, if 1 may so term it, was not lasting. A Voice. belongingto another and otherwise plain young woman, next occupied the reverbci'oting cham— bers of his heart. It was not a. fine voice, but it. was a positive one, and his was a negative. Now. you see, Curls had a. negative voice. and of course two negatives hadn’t any attraction. Hence his deflection. Then a Bust attracted his undivided attenrion. It was followed by 'Eyes and Mouth, which by an unusual pheno menon occurred in the some individual; they were both positives and my friend’s own eyes and month were negatives, proposing to them, "but was providentially saved. . Hence his new variation. He came very near by the interpo sition of an Ankle. He flirted with the Ankle for some time, but an ankle notbeing a. regular feature, of course it wasn’t lasting. Need I inform the reader that had he met the positive and negative peculiarities combined in one per son, he would have fallen in love at once and recognized his afiinily. That‘s what he was looking for. Hence his hesitation, and what the world foolishly cull his—“inconstancy.” I merely instance this "physical” illustra~ dion as being the most forcible and common.—‘- Mental and moral peculiarities are met in the same way, and are much more difiicult to com bine. Of course there are some exceptions to the above theory. Indistinctive people are an exceplion. You may take a stick of wood and Saw it into a number of small pieces, and you shall find no difficulty in fitting any of the pieces together. But take another stick, and break it several times, and you must find the particular adjunct if you wish to join two in one. Now indistinctive people are the sown blocks ; they come naturally together. The broken pieces are men and women of strongly marked opposite characters, with negative and positive dispositions, fitting each other and showing that in the normal state they were one distinct creation. Not nufrequently there is some unnatural matching. A worthy friend of mine, with a. smooth, indistinctire surface, married one of‘ the broken pieces; the conse quence was obvious; attraction has worn off her ‘ salient features, and she has become like him. lint when two broken surfaces meet, that don’t tit—there’s trouble and business for the law yers at once. - I would like to give you an illustration of another exception,just for its moral. Every story should have a. moral or develop some pe culiar idea—but how often do we accept the moral. When our surgical friend strips the walls of this once living temple, and lays bare its wonderful internal structure; however ir reverent the act, we pardon it for the good that shall accrue to man thereby. But when the novelist, with his little scalpel. cuts into the character of his opposite neighbor, or his dear friend, and exhibits their internal organism, or shows up his own idiosyncrasies, we never re cognize ourselves therein. That-’3 quite another afl'air, of course. . When my friend Dick was about thirty years of age, he had amassed a little fortune. He had flirted a. good deal in his time, and was rather a wild young fellow. But under his superficial qualities and manly exterior, there was a. large, honest boy’s heart. Whether it had ever been trampled upon or had the im pression of some woman’s small foot sunk in it, is of little consequence. But Ido not think his heart was that kind of primative formation that hold the relics of by—gone days in its cold fossiliferous stratum. If Dick had ever had an “ affair do occur” he had forgotten it. He was what we term blaze ; we—who know noth ing about it. Dick did not object to the epi~ thet—hc rather liked it, as we all do—and I think he cultivated on smug/er air. If he had any previous erratic experience, it was in the progressive stages I told. you of. At his boarding-house he chanced occasion ally to meet a young girl, who seemed to pos sess many of. the attributes he had admired consectively in others. She was simple and unsophisticated, and supported herself by giv ing music lessons. With his wholesale admi— ration of the sex, Dick became interested in her after a fashion. She did not object to his attentions. Miss Mary was flattered and pleased with Dick. And Dick did not exactly love her, for he had doubted the existence of the passion. But he felt it was time to get married. He was getting old. Here .was a good chance for him to test his skeptical theory in regard to love. If he really believed there was no such thing he might as well marry 715“ as any one. She would undoubtedly make him a good wife. And she was poor, and that was the strong lever that stirred the romatic foundation of Dick’s heart. He could give her a position. She must love him—~he could give her happiness ! He could, in short, make n~— n—yes, that was it, a—sacrzjficc.’ ‘ They were married quietly. There were 501118 friends of Dick’s present, but the bride was an orphan, and her only relative, a. younger sister, lived in a. distant State. He took her to a rich and luxurious home. He felt that. he had done. the correct and gentle manly thing in every respect, and when he had led her into the softly carpeted parlor of their fashionable bower, it was withafeeling of pla cid self-congratulation. The foolish simple bride threw her arms about her husband’s neck, and said to him. “oh, Dick! how can I thank you ‘2” Dick was touched and felt an imaginary halo suspend itself over his Olympian brow? There were no transports with Dick. The honey moon passed quietly and evenly. He had 110$ expected to be extravagantly blissful—his dream, if one had ever fashioned and shaped his inner man, was deceitful, and he knew I}- HIS Wife was 3111 to him that he had sought, }‘ seemed——but yet the possession of her love find not seem fraught with the strange fascmntlon that he had often conceived in his early days. There was something wanted. He woulfi never let her know it; oh no, it would spoil 1139 PEI“ fect sacrifice. But perhaps it was this con sciousness that placed a deeper chasm betmxt his wifels afl’ections and his own. _He felt he had another-’3 happiness in his keepmgnand he resolved to guard it as preciously _as his own. This state of afl‘airs, as you may readilyzmagme, though very ‘romantic, put him upon a forced and unnatural behavior, which added another million of :miles to that awful chasm. And Dick sometimes found himself sitting opposite to her, in their comfortable parlor, and wonder ing if that strange woman was his wife. There was the contour of the face, that. had haunted his boyish visions; there was the some soft voice and winning accent—and yet why wasn’t be happier ? why wasn’t- he grateful '2 what, was the meaning of that awful barrier that lay between them? Why was he doing the Spartan busi ness, and all that sort of thing?. He would get up at such times and go over to the neat. womanly figure, and gaze into her eyes and kiss her red lips, and say, “Are you happy, my dear ?” and then she would look back an an swer, and Would.say, “Are you not Dick '3" Dick would say emphatically, “Certainly, my dem- l” with a great deal of unnecessary decis -10!]. ' A time came when Dick’s wife was not able to visit much, and kept her room a great deal; and Dick learned that this younger sister of her-’3 would visit. her, and that. for certain rea sons, the visit would be very opportune; and it was with that strange 1i utter which the con sciousness of a coming event occasions in the breast of the expectant parent, that Dick was Sitting by himself in the little library before the fire. Her chair—for She was wont to bring her work in and sit with her husband while he read—was standing opposite, and her work basket was stilléupon the table. He was trying to analyze the strange sensations ‘ that. were thronging upon him, :1 looking forward to a. happier state of being, when it. occurred to him that he might assist his reflections by smoking. He drew out his cigar case, bit 011' the end of a fragrant Havana, and looked around for a bit of paper to light it. His eye fell on his wife’s basket. There was a white paper sticking out of a. chaotic scramble of various colored frag ments. He took it up. It seemed to be a. letter. He was about replacing it when his eye caught a passage containing his own name. I have‘ told you that Dick was the soul of honor. If he had known that his wife didn’t want. him to read that letter, he wouldn’t have read it. If he had imagined for}; moment that. it contained anything he shouldn’t read, or any secret of his wife’s, he would have set and blinked at it all day, or perhaps have walked upstairs with it and handed it to her saying: “My dear, you have left it letter below. I don’t know what. it is, or who it’s from,” and would' have departed dramatically. But not knowing what it was, you see, he coolly read on, commencing at the paragraph containing his name, as. I do: “I am sorry to hear that. Dick is not all that you fondly imagined. Don’t ask me, dear, for advice; it is better you should leave all to time and your own {act «ml judgment. I think that no one is capable of mediating between it wife’s afi‘ections and her husband’s—even a sister. I would say that you ought to have weighed all this before you bound yourself to one whom you think is not. worthy of your affections ; but we cannot recall what is post. No ! indeed.— You say that your Dick has a generous heart, and in this world, dear! you know that (his ought to make up for other defects, even if he be dull and stupid .-' (Oh! you should have seen Dick’s face at this moment 1) Your sacrifice I know was a great one, but men cannot appre ciate the sacrifices we make. No, never. But I will soon be with youymy dearest sister, and perhaps I may be able to do something for you, with this queer being whom you have taken for a. husband. Don’t think lam hard-hearted or unsisterly, either, if I can’t understand your feelings. I never saw the man yet that'l could whimper over or feel bad about. ‘Good bye,’ dear, till I see you, which will be soon! "Your atfcctionate sister, “’Tlr.” “Dull and stupid!” lie “dull and stupid I” he, Dick—the delight of select oircles! the witty, fascinating, agreeable, gossippy Dick! “Dull and stupidf’ and her sacrifice—her “great sacrifice 2” What sacrifice? When ? How? Where? And this was the return—~this was the result of his noble, Roman-like con duct; this was eventuaiing from his deeply del icate, poetical, gentleman-like treatment.— This was. her opinion of him—the opinion of the wife of his bosom, the‘partner of his joys, the Sharer of his wealth, his property—the wo man henna! not loved I “Dullvand stupid!” why the woman was a fool, they are both fools! they were hypocrites! they were ingrates! they were—women! . He sank back in his chair. Then he started up and threw the letter in the grate, and care fully repleced his cigar in the basket. Then he burnt his fingers recovering the letter. Then he put his hands upon his head, his elbows upon his knees, and in that position reflected. He thought he had better not say anything about it. 'He was in for a sacrifice and the biggerthe better. “Ho, there! Bring in some faggots and lay ’em round the stake ! Pour on the oil and wine and give the brands another poke! Here’s the spectacle ofa Christian young husband immolated on the hymencnl altar! Hurrah ! Fetch on your faggots !” “Dull and stupid! He liked that!” Well, he’d let them see his dullness and stupidity, hereafter, with a. vengeance. And that young sister, indeed! A snub-nosed, freckled-faced, hoydenish thing, with braids and mineing ways, and—daring to talk about him, Dick! the man of the world! the blasc man, as dull and Stupid! Well, he’d like to have his friend Wobbles hear that ; how he’d laugh! A! them '2 Of course. Certainly at. them. Butthen he’d better not say anything about it~——on his wife's account. When he wentup stairs to his wife‘s chamber he made some light, trifling, joeulnr remark which I regret has not reached me, but which had the efi‘ect of making his Mary open her eyes in meek astonishment. “Dull and stupid 3” thought Dick; “indeed I” There was some little preparation a week af terward; and one day Dick, coming home, saw some boxes in the hall and several mysterious looking bundles laying about, and other signs which seemed to indicate that his wife’s Sister had arrived Of course, the rccqllectzon of that. letter dirt not tend to awaken lively anticipa tions ofa meeting with the disagreeable “Cl-Hp.” He thought at. first. that he_wquld try the digni~ fied and stately, and othermse unpress the young woman with a sense of her prevmns irreverence. 'But then he wished to establish :1 character the opposite of those fidJeclives which yet swam before his eyes. “Dull and stupid !” and “dig nified and stately” seemed only a. hopeless alli teration. He had suit the senwant. up stairs to' inform his Mary of his coming, by way of pre iparing the repentant and humbled Tip for his awful retributlve presence, Then he changed his mind and thought of rushing up stairs bois terouely- He made a step toward the library door when It was thrown open ; two white arms were flung about his neck, two big blue eyes I°°ked in“) his, while a pair of scarlet. lips or ticulated in rapid accents: “My dear! dear brother!" Dick was taken aback, He looked down at the beautiful and girlish figure, and felt—he, the “blase” man—awkward and embarrassed. His lips syllabled a few commonplaces, but the breath of life seemed to have left. him. He could only lead her to a. sofa, and stand and gaze at hex}.

You’re my brother, you know, and I never had a brother; and mu sure I shall love you so much. You don‘t say anything! Why, what‘s the matter? Why you look pale! You're sick! Mary! Good gracious 1” Poor Dick! Poor, poor Dick. It was over. He was better now. Yes, he was calm, too~ he saw it all. She was sitting before him, on the very seat his wife had occupied ; the same contour of features; the same outline; the some figure—but oh! that indefineble expres sion and this strange feeling and thrilling.— The vision of his past life, the dreams of his youth, were looking out of the anxious, pretty glance that . met his own. Oh ! rash, hasty, inconsiderate fool! He had stopped one step short of perfect affinity. This was his wife’s sister! wife’s sister! 0h ! Heavens! he had married his wife’s sister! This was his wife! The sacrifice was complete. No, not complete! It remained for him to smother the fires of his new passion in the dead ashes_of his past. life. It. was at once his tor ture and his crown to minister to the invalid wants of the real Wife of his manhood in com pany with the fair young ideal wife of his youth.” It was his great glory to feel the touch of her warm, soil; hand on his brow, when he sometimes sat alone distractedly, groping blindly in the darkness for some clue to lead him away from the pitfalls that beset his path. He could not help seeing that he had awakened a. sympathetic interest in “Tip’s” young heart ——-a feeling as yet undefined and holy in its nameless orphan purity. But the sacrifice was not complete. ' They were sitting alone in the little library. and she sat opposite to him in his wife’s chair. He raised his eyes and she drew her chair nearer to him, and in her simple, arlless way, asked his forgiveness ! “For what Tip ‘2” “Well, never mind; say you’ll forgive me. I once thought worse of you than you deserved, and I may have said something to Mary; did she tell you anything ”I" Dick could conscientiously wave a. negative. “I’ve changed my mind since, brother! You’re so different. I’m surel know of no one who could make Max-y happier than you. I judge so by What I have seen of you and by my own feelings, for you know, Mary and I are all that are left of our family. Do you think we are alike ? I think that I shall never marry, for I could not find another like Mary's hus bund.” The artless simplicity and genuine sincerity of poor Tip extorted a groan from Dick. Instantly she was at his side. “ Don't worry, brother, about Mary, she will be better soon. I know how you feel, dear,.o.nd it. must be a oomlort to Mary to know your nympathy.” How shall I end my story, reader? Shall I' say that Tip was again wrong; that Mary did. not get better? That she lingered for a while, and, striving to bring a feeble, immortal soul into this earthly light, laid down her own dear woman’s life. a.'l7villinnr sacrifice upon the altar. Shall I say that Tip afid Dick stood by holding her hands, when the first cry of the struggling immortal heralded her way to the home itjust had quitted? How that the poor motherless child found a guardian angel in Tip? How else can I marry Dick to his wife’s sis ter ? WHAT IS THE Ransom—lt is a melancholy fact that not one lady ”in a. hundred, in these United States, has fine or luxuriant twain- Everybody is complaining of the loss of “wo— man’s chief glory,” and wondering why on. earth pomatums and hair-washes, oils and re storatives, fail to bring it backf‘ns per adver tisement.” We suspect there would be a general exclammation of incredulity among the gentlemen, did they but know what an immense proportion of the tastefully arranged tresses they behold on fair heads grew on somebody else’s pate. Almost every one wedrs a “roll” or “braid,” which comes from the hairdresser's, and costs from five to twenty dollars. It is disposed with consummate skill—you can not distinguish the sly hair-pins that fasten on the false decoration, yet there it 15, o tacit confes sion that nature gives way to art. “My hair will keep coming out, although ]. take the greatest pains with it.” sighs the fashionable belle; “I dontsee what the trouble is l” There are several “troubles,” first and fore most. among which is the expensive “roll” it self. Any hair dresser will tell you that the weight. and pressure of this heavy mass of false hair, with the heat it induces around the head. is highly prejudicial to the growth and welfare of the real hair. If you must wear a. roll, let it be as seldom as possible.— Whenevcr you can dispense with it, do so. Let its place be supplied as often as practicable with a light. headdress, secured with as few hair-pins as will support. it. These high are feerfully destructive to the heir, cutting and wearing it to an incredible degree. Gutte percha. hair-pins are the best, and even these should be limited in number. All sorts of pomutumg, oils and preparations, had better be let alone. There is no use in soaking the skin of the head in grease, as is oft-en done. If the hair is harsh and dry, custor-oil, perfumed, is the best application, but the scalp itself should not be saturated.— Washing the head thoroughly in fair water, once a week, will be found very beneficial. Bodily health is almost essential to the natu ral growth of the hair. Nothing indicates the progress of sickness so plainly as the dry, dead look of the hair; and if our American ladies want lovely, luxuriant tx'esses, they must avoid heated rooms. late hours, and fashionable dis sipation. There is no help for it—nature will avenge any infringement on her laws, and the sooner we become thoroughly convinced 'of this fact, the better for us. There is no ornament half so becoming to it female head as thick, beautiful nair. It needs no decoration beyond a natural flower or two. Nets, diamond sprays, tiaras of pearl, are use less—it is like “painting the lily” to wear them. Remember this, girls, and take every precau tiori to preserve this exquisite ornament of Nature’s manufacture. Once gone, it isfim‘d to coax back again! PINE APPLE Cause—Mr. Norton, of Goehen, CL, manufactures this form of cheese quite extensively. The Horrzestmd thus describes the. process: “The curds of about three hundred cows is bought and daily brought to the factory to be made into pine apple cheese. These weigh about six and one-third pounds each, and about six hundred and fifty are made every week in the best of the season.‘ They are pressed in smooth moulds, the marks upon the surface being made by softening them in hot water, and hanging them in nets made for the purpose. Here they hang till fully cured and fit ‘0 801111 to market. The whole number made this year is about ten thousand. They are carefully boxed and sent to market in the nearest order, and being made hard and firm. they improve with age. enduring any climate. and are .in steady demand for shipping.
