'None, none, V.ininka ! tliis U mere

mother in a lune of re-
buke.
Dut it was some iniuutcs before th'?
young maidi'ii recovered her calmness.
Then, conquering her weakness by a vio
cent effort, the said, lightly :
'Am I not eilly, mother? You will
laugh when I toll you it ; but my blood
ran cold,- and ray flesh seemed to' creep', 9
I .touched this bauble, as if il had been a
serpent, Sue, I do not mind it now.'
Naninlia Urentano wai tlie only cliild of
wealthy Prussian commoners. She hid

owing to tho wars in Europe, their tved
ding h'ad baen long delayed. Now, how
cvei, there vfai peace, and i'h a lovers were
to be united the day after tho ojic toward
the end of wbioh my story commences.
Vaninka was devotedly -attached ti hor
betrothed, and too happy at tho noar cri-
proach of their nuptial.s.to' allow the blaok
ncoklaeo to dirfjuiet her long. Hor pa
rents loft the room, and, throwing bersell
into a chair, sho leaned her head against
its back, nnd sank into u revcry,her fing
ers Hitohanioilly paying tho while with
her last gift. It was easy to soe that her
rcfleoiioni were of a plcasatit nature, lor,
ever and auon, a beautiful smile rtole over
her feature-, nnd fading gradually away,
still left the same oxpreskinn of quiet hap
piness. She had been sitting there fomo
time, ben anothor person entered the
room. Tho intruder was a young, hind
sorao man, dressed In full Prussian uni

bearing their fervent bless'iig? he depart
ed. Weeks past and Vaninka heard nothing
frorh her lover. She grew palo and thin ;
her movements wore languid, und her for
mer light step grew slow and hec,v.
She no longer sung at her work, but
would let her hands fall listlessly into her

'Lady,' he said, in 0 sad tone, 'Henry

She did not rorcam nor faint, but sunk

atronv. He mistook: cor siioni toariess
agony for calmness, and began to' relate
the partioulc'rs of his comrado's death, and
delivered his dying message to his betroth

Wo now turn to Vdtiiiikii. Contrary

room for days together.
Her lover had been gono somo night

Tbo good old man was too hsppy to

DOG FIGHT IN FROGTOWN.
Thero is an cxeallent moral to tho fol
lowing story, which is told with great
skill. It shows us how a wholo vill.igo
is bo'metimos torn to pieces by a fight be
tween two pupies.
The most remarkable dog fight on re
cord camo off at Frngtowu on tho Fron
tier of il,cino, some years ago
A fanciful genius, named Joo Tuoker,a
man about-town , a lounger, without visi
ble means of support 0 do-noth'iDg, loal-
ing, cigar-stuokiug, good natared fellow,
owned a dog ; a sleek intelligent, and
rather preatty breast, always at Jo's hools,
and known as well as his master, and liked
far more by tho Frogtowners. Ono day
Joe and his dog were passing Bunion's
grocery store, when a pie-bald ugly look
ing dog standing by a wood wagotijbound
ed on to Joe Tucker's knocked him heels
over head, end so frightened Dob Carter's
wife, who was passing towards her hue
band'sblaok8mith' eSop with his dinner
that she stumbled btokwards and her old
bonnet flopped off, and scarred a horso
attached to a wagon. He started, hit
Lathertn's barber pole, upset a load of
wood, all of which falling down Gumbo's
refreshment collar ,struok ode. of tho Gum
bo's children on tho head, killed it for a.
short time, stone dead, and so alarmed
Mis Gumho, that she dropped a stow pan
of boiling hot oysters into tho lap instead
of tho dish of tho cuitomsr who sat wait
ing for the savory concoo'ion by a table
iu the cornor. Mrs. Gumbo rushed for
tho child ; tho customer for the door.
Mrs. Gumbo screamed, the child &orcanjed,
and tho customar yelled ;
"Oh, oh ! oh, oh, oh ! my poor child !"
cried Mrs. Gumbo.
''Eh, e h 0 0 0 0 e," screamed the pool
child.
''Oh, murder! Oh, ray everlasting sir,
I'm scalded 10 all eternity ! Murder !

the bluo paint over tbo broadcloths, sattt
netts and calicoes of Abraham Miller, a
formal and eventempored Quaker, who
ran cut the door just as the two dogs had
gone fairly at it, nip and thigh nTp and
oitch. A glance at matters seemed to
oonvlneo Abraham of the true state of the
caso i and in an unusually elevated voico,
Abraham oalled out to Joo Tucker, who
bad righted up :
"Joseph Tuoker. thy dog's fighting I"
"Let 'cm fight it out, yelled the pugna
cious owner of the etrance dog. "Let
tl em fight it out ; I'll bet' a log of wood
rdy tlog oan eat any dog in town, and I
can eat tho owner."
Wo have said Abraham Milier was c
quiet man ; Quakors aro proverbially so
But the gauntlet thrown down by the
strangor from tho country stirred the gall
of Abraham, and ho rushed in the store,
From tho back yard, having Blippod his
colUr, Abraham brought forth a brindle
cur, strong, long and powerful

hero, boy," and tho dogs went at it.
Bob Carter, tha smith, coming up in
time to hoar tho stranger's defianco to tho.
town, and hoot on a fight with somebody
for iho insult and damage done to his wife,
damped tho collar of the stranger, nnd
by a series of ten pound ten upon the face,
back and sides of his bully antagonist,
with his natural i-ledgo u'aamors, Bob
stirred up the strength and ire of the bully
stranger to tho lop of his compas?, and
thoy mado tho sparks fly dreadfully.
Joe Tucker's dog,, reinforced by Abra
ham Miller's, took a fiesh start, and be
tween tLo two the strango dog was being
cruelly put to hira trumps. Deacon I'Ugh,
one of tho most pious and substantial men
in 'Froetown, came tip, and indeed tho
whole town was assembling, and Deacon
Pugh, armed with a heavy walking stick,
and shocked at tho spcotaclo beforo him,
marched up to tho dogs, exclaiming as bo
did so .
' Fio, fie, for shamo I disgraceful 1 yc'u
mean citizens of Frowtown, will you stand
by and ,"
"Don't thee, don't thee striko my dog,
FTcacon Pugh," cried Abraham Miller,ad
vancing to tho Deacon, who was about to
cut right and left nmongtho dogs with his
cane.
'Your dogs ?' shouted tho Deacon with
ovident fervor.
"Not tny dogs, Deacon Pugh," said tho
Quaker.
"What did you say so for, then," shout
ed the Deacon.
"I never suid dogs, Deaoon Pugh.''
"You did !" responded tho Deaoon with
excitement.
"Deacon Pugh, thco speaksgroundlcss
Iy," said tbo Quaker.
"You tell a falsehood, Abraham Mil
ler" "Thee utters r. mendacious assertion,"
reiterated Abraham.
"You you you tell a lie," bawled the
Daacon.
"Theo has provoked my evil passion,
Deacon Pugh," shoutod the stalwart Qua
ker, "and I will chaat!:o thee."
And into the Deacon's wool went tho
Quaker. Tbo Deacon, nothing loth, en
tered into tho thing, and wo leavo them
thus to "uip and tuck," to look to the
stranger and Bon Cnrtor, who lought and
fit, and lit and foug'it, until Squire Catch-
cm and the Constable came up, and in
the attempt to preserve the peace and ar
rest the offenders, tho Squire was thrust
through tho window of a neighboring
watchmaker doing a heap of dam ago,
while lawyer Hooker, in attempting to aid
the constahlo, was struck by tho furious
blacksmith, iu the short ribs, and went
reeling down Garabo's cell ir with fright
ful velocity. Tho frionds and fellow
churchmen of Djacon Pimh took sides
against the Q jaker antagonist, and the
shop boys of Abraham, seeing their em
ployer thus besetiCame to the re'cue,whilo
two Irishmen, believing it to bo a "free
fight," tried tbeir bands and ttieks upon
tho combatants indiscriminately, so that
in less than half an hour the happy village
ofFrojjtown was shaken from propriety by
ono grand, .sublimely ridiculous and most

A heavy thunder storm finally put cn
end to the row, the dogs wcro all moro or

Time for Matrimony.
A writer in ono of tho weeklies tells as :
''Among tho nnoient Germans, than whom
a finer raco nover existed, it was death for
any woman to marry hoforo shb wa? twen
ty years old. Iu this country vory few
women aro fit, either physically cr men
lally.to beoomo mothors beforo thoy reach
the ago of twenty. Tio. unsound oondi
tion and constitution of tho parent is usu
ally transmitted, with iucroased intensity,
to tho offering. By iho laws of Lyeor
gds, tlie most special attention was paid
to the physical cducatiou of women ;
and no delicato or sickly womn wero, on
any account, allowed to marry. Dr.
Johnson, in his work on "Economy of
Health," rays that matrimony should not
be contracted beforo tbo fust year of the
fourh septennial on tho part of tho lady,
nor before the last year of tho Eamo in
tho case of the gentleman ; in other words,
tho females should be at least twenty-ono
years of ago, and tho male twenty-eight
years. Tho. dootor says, that thero should
bo a differanoo of coven years between the
sexes, at whatever period of life tho con
nection is contracted. Thero is a differ
enoo of seven years, not in tho aotaal du
ration of life in the two scxcp, but in thi
stamina of tho constitution, thosymmtory
of the form, and ihe linamonts of tho
face. In respect to early marriage, si
far as it conoorns iho softer sex, for every
year at which marriago is entered upon
before the ago of twenty one, thero will
be, on nn average, three years of prema
ture decay, more or less apparent, of the
corporeal fabric."
Quick Bei'lies. Napoleon was fond
of quiok replies ; ho 'jo'uld bear contra
diction, but invariably turned away from
those' who addressed him with hesitation
or emburrasment, Tho following anec
dote will sufficiently provo that a roady
and well-timed answer was an infalliblrt
passport to his favor :
"At a grand review which, on 0 par
ticular occasion, took (dace on tho tquaru
of tho Carousal, tho Emperor'a horso
suddenly reared, and during his exertions
to keep tho animal Bteady, tho rider par
ted company with his hat. A lieutenant
having picked it up, advanced in front of
tho line, and presented it to Napoleon.
"Thank you, captain t said the Emperor,
still occupied in patting tho neck of his
steed. "In what regiment, sire ?" imeae
diately demanded tho officer. Tho Em'
poror considering his features attentively,
and perooiviug his own nj'mtake, replied
with a smilo : "Tho question is appropos
in tho guards." In a few days tha
newly-appointed captain rcoeived an oE
oial notification of the promotion, lor
which ho was indebted solely to bis pres
ence of mind, but whioh his bravery and
long services had merited."
Night, the Poor Man's Finnm
Night levols all artificial distinction. Tho
beggar on his pallot suotcs as soundly as
a king on a bed ef down. Night kiud,
gentle, soothing, refreshing night, tliu
earthly paradise of tho slavo, the uweot
oblivion of the worn soul, tho nurso of ro
mance, ol devotion ; how the great pant
ing hoart of society yearns for tho return
of night and rost I Sleep is God's spcoial
gilt for tho poor, for the great ihero is no
time fixed for repose. Quiet, thaj havo
none; anil instead of calmly awaiting the
approach of events thoy fret and repine,
and starvo sleep and child tho tardy hours,
aB if every to-morrow wcro big with tLe
fate of some groat hereafter. Tho torrent
of cvonts goes biting past keeping eager
expectation constantly on tiptoe B'nd'dnrec
timid slumbor away. .
A Singular Casc Mr. Fredcriok
