ROW A WIFE WAS CHOSEN.
" Godfrey, old boy," said lionry. Clayton,
as lie tilted his chair back, and put his feet
upon the mautlepiece, " when is the wedding
to be?"
•
"Whose wedding?"
" Miss Laura Somers, or Jenny, which is
it?"
" I don't know, sure."
" Now don't be mysterious, Godfrey; you
know you are a mast constant visitor, and all
our set aro talking about the match. Don't
pretend you have not seloeted one of the sis•
tors."
"How do you know thol &titer of thorn will
nvo'rno ?"
" Don't be, absurd, old boy. You, young,
handsoino, talented, and with a large fortune,
need not be over bashful. Come be frank,
which is the favored sister?"
"Pell, frankly then. Henry,. I cannot tell
you. I have visited the family for several
months, as you know, but I cannot decide.—
Laura is certainly the handsomest, with her
black flashing eyes and queenly manner ; but
Jenny seems, although the youngest, to bp the
most womanly and useful of the two. Yet, I
cannot be sure of that. My entrance is the
signal for cordial welcome and smiles, and let
me call at what hourl will, they are always
well dressed, and apparently disengaged. To
be sure I always, in the morning, have to wait
some time before Laura is visible." -
" Pop in unexpectedly and notice the inter
nal economy." •
" How can I ? A card at the door will put
any lady on her guard, or oven the notice of a
gentleman visitor."
"Go there in disguise. As a washwomon,
for instance."
" Good! I will !"
"t Go there as a washwoman !" cried Clay-
" Not exactly, but I will obtain adittance
o a morning's privacy."
" Well, lot MD know the result."
Laura and Jenny Somers were the only
children ofd widower, who, although in mod
erate circumstances, moved in very fashiona
ble society. Atathe period my orthort sketch.
he was about to supply the lamented Mrs.
Somor's place, after nearly ton years mourn
ing, and, although a kind, indulgent father,
had no objections to his daughter's 'marriage,
and, indeed he had told them so. Laura,
whose high spirit .resented' the probable su
premacy of a step mother, had already select
od Godfrey Horton as her future husband, and
Fanny, who was younger and gentler in spir
it, tried to conquer a carefully concealed pref
erence for the same person. All his atten
tions were ascribed, by her, to brotherly re
gard, though every, act of kindness or cour
tesy touched hor very heart.
It was the morning after a large ball and
the sisters more in the breakfast room togeth
er. Laura, her glossy . black hair pushed neg
ligently off her face, with the rough fumbled
braids of last evening's elaborate coiffure gath
ered loosely comh;. swearing a soiled
wrapper, torn stockings, and presenting rath
er an alarming contrast to the brilliant ball=
room hello, was lounging on a sofa. Jenny.
in a neat morning dress, with a large gingham
apron, little white collar, and hair smoothly
brushed into it neat knot, was washing the
breakfast dishes.
These is an old man at the door with some
artificial flowers," said the servant, opening
the dining-room door, "will you see him?
" No," said Jenny.
"Yes," cried Laura, "send him up."
In a few moments the old man came in. He
was poorly clad, with a CORI'S° blue cloak,
which was much too large for him. His hair
was white, and lie wore a heard and mous
tache or the snowy hue. Making a low how,
he placed the large basket he tarried on the
tal?le, and opened it.
" I have a bunch of blue flowers here," he
said, taking them from the basket, "that will
just suit your golden hair, Miss, and he held
them before Jenny."
"It was my sister who wished to look, k
your flowers," said ninny quietly.
"Yes, bring them here," was Laura's inglo
rious command.
The old men's eyes followed Jenny, as she
washed, wiped and put away the dishes, swept
the room, an Misted it, and then sat doWn be
side Laura, who was still looking over the
basket.
"See, Jenny, this scarlet bunch. Will it
not be lovely with a few dark leaves to wear
with my new silk' "
"But," whispered - Jenny. "
.you can't afford
it just now."
" Yes, i eim. Father gage me some money
:vosterthiv."
"To pay the last dry goods bill."
Well T can have that carried to my pri
vate account."
"Oh! Laura ; I hate to hear you talk 'of
that private. account. It seems so mulch like
cheating father:"
." Nonsense? It Will stand till 1 urn married,
did then I. can easily save it out ur my house
keeping money."
I shouldlot like to marry in debt," said
Jenny.
'ruin rill peddler loc,ked earnestly at the sis-
I=l
You better 'take this blue hunch, Miss,"
he.enid to Jenny. "If it ain't convenient to
ray for it now, 1 will call again."
" No, I shalt m - t take them."
" They are-very *coining, Mixing with the
glossy golden hair, tied setting off Jenny's
dazzling complexion."
" I wish my hair was light," said Laura.
"I should like to wear blue. Godfrey Hor
ton saidlast night, that forget-me-nots were
his favorite flowers."
Jenny colored, and placing the hunch again
in the basket, Said :
"Come, Laura, decide. You are kbeping
one waiting whose time probabiyis valuable,"
then passing a chair, she added, "he seated,
sir, you look tired."
" I am tired, indeed," was the reply.
"I will take this scarlet hunch, and these
rod camelias and this white cluster," said
Laura.
"But, sister, you cuntiot afford it."
" Yeg, I can. Godfrey Horn in rich."
•
The old man bit his lip.
" Think," said Jenny, in a low tone, " if'
you love him, how much it will grieve him if:
he should discover it."
" Nonsense ! Well, I'll toll you how to rem
edy it. Lend me some money not of the house
keeping funds."
• " So, thought the old man, she is house
keeper. Miss Laura gave me to understand
that was her post."
" Laura! Steal\front my father !"
Then don't preach."
"Miss Jonny,'t said a servant, entering nt
that moment, " the dinner has come.,'
Jenny left the room, and Laura still turned
over the gay flowers, while the old man point
ed out their Various beauties, his oyo in the
meantime running over the disordered hair,
shabby dress, and lazy position, whilst 'he
mentally contrasted them with Jenny's neat
attire.
" Not decided yet 2" said Jenny, returning
after a short absence. " No, Come here,"
" I can't ! Father has sent home a calf head,
and I am afraid to trust it entirely to Marga
ret. I must superintend the dinner, make a
pudding, and the parlor must be dusted, and
there is my white mull() to be finished."
"Before I would he the drudge you are !"
cried Laura.
" Drudge! I have plenty of time for omplo'y
ment and father cannot have a comfortable
house, if some one does not superintend these
things. When 1 marry you may do it," and
she laughed merrily.
As if I should not marry first !"said Laura.
" There, I have chosen all I want."
" Shall I call for the change ?" said the
pedlor. " I Shall be happy to put. the Miss
Somers on my list of customers."
„ Yes, call again.”
So the pedler stood up. his basket,L . -walked
home, threw aside his wig, board, and disguise
and wrote an offer of his hand and heart to
Miss Virginia Somers which was accepted .
Laura Somers has two seources of profound
speculation: One is, " Why did Godfrey Hor
ton purpose to Jenny instead of. me ?" The
other, " I- wonder why that old man never
called to be paid fur thoes exquisite flowers?"
MYSTERY or KISSING.—Depend upon it, a
kiss is it. great mystery. There is many a
thing we know that we can't explain, still we
are sure it is a fact for all that. Why should
there be a sort of magic in shaking hands,
which seems only a mere form, and come
times a painful one,-koc4—for folks wring your
fingers almost off, and make you fciirly dance
with pain, they hurt you en. It don't give
much pleasure at any time. What the magic
of it is we can't tell, but so it is for all that.
It seems only a custom, like bowing, and noth
ing else! Still there is more in it than meets
the eye. But a,kiss fairly electrifies you; it
warms your blood, and sets your heart beat
ing, like a bass drum, and makes your eyes
twinkle like stars in a frosty night. It is a
thing never ter be forgotten. No language can
express it ; no letters will give the sound.—
Then what in nature is equal the flavor of
it E , Whitt an aroma it has! How spiritual it
is! It lit' not gross, fir .you can't feed on
It is neither visible nor tangible, nor portable,
nor transferable. It is neither n
. substanect,
nor a liquid, nor a vapor. It has neither col
or nor form. Imagination can't conceive it.
It can't ho itnitated'or prod. it is coutlbed
to no clime or country,:hut übiquitous. It is
disembodied when completed, hut is instantly
reproduced, and is so immortaj. It is Its old as
the creation, and yet wiyoutigilnd &will as ever.
It pre-existed, still exists, and always will ex
ist. It pervades all nature. The breeze as it
passes kisses the rose, and the pendant vine
stoops down and hides with tendrils Its:blush
es, as it kisses the limpid stream that waits In
the eddy to meet it and raises itA tiny Wayetk
like anxious lips to receive it. Depend uphii
it, Eve learned it in Paradise. How it is adapt
ed to all circumstances ! 'Flier° is the kiss .o
welcome and of parting, the long-lingering, lov
ing, present one, the stolen or the mutual ono;
the kiss of love, of joy and of sorrow; the seal
of promise, and the receipt of fulfillment. Is
it strange, therefore, that a woman is invinci
whose armory consists of kisses, smiles, sighs,
and tears?
A Slum—Nothing on earth smiles but
Man. Gems may flash reflected light, but
what is a diamond-flash compared with an eye
flash and a mirth-fraelt ?-4"lowers cannot smile
Birds cannot smile, nor any other lk;ing thing.
There is a charm which oven they cannot claim.
It is the prerogatiVe of man. It is the color
which love wears, and cheerfulneSs and joy
—these three. It is the light in the window
of the thee, by which the heart signifies to the
father, husband and friend that is at home
and waiting. A face that cannot smile is iike
a bud that cannot bloom and dries .up on the
stalk. Laughter is day ; Sobriety is night,
and a Smile is twilght. that hovers between—
more lovely than either. But all smiles aro
not alike. The cheerfidness of vanity is not
the smile of love. The smile of gratified pride
is not like the radiance of goodness and truth.
The rains of summer fall alike on all trees
and shrnbs ; but when the storm passes, -and
every leaf hangs drooping, a gentle puff of
wind brings something of the nature of the
leaf or blossom on which it hung. The road
Ride loaf yeilds dust, the walnut leaf to bitter
ness, some flowers poison while the grape
blossoms, and the rose and sweet brier lead
their aroma to the twinkling drops, and send
them down perfumed. And so it is with smiles
which every heart perfumes according. to its
nature. Selfishneis is acid ; pride is bitter
good will, sweet and fragrant.

The Newspaper as an Educator. •
Singular enough 'there are Soreelrhoregftra

ry very well in its way, hit very often not
worth its price. nut reading a paper, like
advertising, though it sometimes may rethear
a retail test; is sure. to pity' Orris -wholesale
scale. • Thus we s learn from the Ogdensburg
Sentinel that a sehdlllmaster, who had paid-at
tention to this subject, had assertained that
children of both sexes; who had been , famlliar
with newspapers at home, could read, spell,
pronounce and define words bettor and more
understandingly than those whO' had not.—:
They obtained a knowledge of geogiaphy in
almsot half the time it required otheis-L4i. very
obvious thought curious fact, since no places
are fixed so readily in the memory as that of
which wo have heard before, and the newspa
per familiarizes oven the dullest with the most
important places on the globe. Tho great va
riety of style in a newspaper, from common
advertisements to orations and poetry, has
been found to have a remarkable effect in mak
ing scholars good grammarians and in • ena
bling thorn to readily .comprehend the mean
ing of a text and to analyze its construction—
a matter leading, of course to writing better
compositions, and usually clearer and more
refined language—the charecteristios in all
schools of the best, writers of composition.—
This command of languages, and the mastery
of the general information contained even in
the poorest papers, invariably trains the lead
ers in debating societies—and it is from these
societies that the country has its orators. If
we wore to answer where our so-called self-edu
cated statesmen got their education, we should
not hesitate to say, " from the newspapers."
Quietly, but effectually, the newspaper is al
ways educating its tens of thousands. It is
not long since we heard of a teacher who in- -
troduced newspapers into his school as substi
tutes for reading books. He found that ex
amining the boys on their contents gave them
a vast amount of general knowledge andmade
them quick-witted. We do not doubt
There is many a worse text-book than a nelvs
paper in many a school. The printing office
has proved a better college to many,a boy, has
graduated more useful and conspicuous mem
bers of society has brought more intellect out,
and turned it into practical, useful channels,
awakened more minds, generated more active
and elevated thought, than many of the litera
ry colleges of the country. A boy who com
mences in such a school es the printing offi
ces, will have his talents and ideas brought
out ; and if he is a careful observer, experience
in his profession will contribute more toward
an education than can be obtained in almost
any other manner.
PETRITV Or CEIARACTER.—Over the beauty of
