a bit of pii toiiiioii, both young mon had
a eiH't.nii tlin-nitv of manner that matle
ihoiu lonked up to, and many a pretty
J'.iatnry girl, as she trippl' d to her work,
cat hack a lonk over her shoulder, if sho

Thnujili the socieiy of iln- vil'ago was

en orphan, without siliT or broiiio r, arid
lived with an and aunt whom i-lie eliicuy
supprrted by her labor in ilic. factory.
E lull was pujitilar with every one. Sim
was so grutlo, considerate and kititl, that
even those who at first envied, learned at
lust to love In r Tho younger of the two
uitiats, whom wo t-ltall u.une L-ivell, boou
liceamo inteieti.il in this sweut creature;
at least it'look, tones, and cnuataut seek

Ouo.day hi: and bis friend had elamer-
ml tin somo rooks on tlto tteeu hi.lside,
from which the village was overlooked,
ami as ihey sat ihero 'lie bell nfihu factory
rang, and the git-en was iiiiiiiediutely cov
ered with the girls employed in it, wend
ing their way thither al'ur dinner. Among
them it waaeasy to rioognzo the light and
graceful form of Edith Matin r.
Is she not beautiful J When.! can jou
s'iow tne a person so slpeliko,' said Lov
cll with undis'guis'eil enthusiasm.
Ilis companion made no reply for a mo
ment, but then abiup'ly remarked.
I think it is t'uuo wo loft this village.'
'Why ?' a-bed Lovell in a touo of aur-p-isc
'15icau30 if wo do not, you will have
that giriin lovo with you. Your admira
tion is evident to all her friends, and you
are loo honorable to hold out hopes ynu
never intend to fulfil.
'Hold out hopes I never intend to fill-GIT
iYes-for you don't think of marrying
tho giil do you .''
'To be sure.'
Tho dtice you do,' said his companion,
etaning to hi feet in uualVioted astonish
racilt.
I.ovcll indulged in a hearty laugh, and
then asked.
Why not V
'Why not? Why, for a thousand rea
son. Sho's only a factory girl, a lady of
neither birth or education, but a simple
country lass, very good in her way, only

Lovell shook his head.
T nni. ncrhana. a moro romantlu man
no woman in our pet tliero whom I would
be willing to mako a wife, Tho city girls
arc so frivolouu, so fond of partios, so oa-
gr for wealthy alliances ; and really so
ignorant of houehold affairs (hat for a
man of my tastes to marry ono ol them
would bo folly. I am not fond of gay life
I think it waatos loo much precious
tirao ; nnd I want, thoroforo, a wifo who
will bo domestic, aud not involve mo in a
round of balls and other cntcrtaimnonts.
I do not wish to bo a heruiit,n fow friends
arc a great blessing, and I shall bo always
glad to gather around me a email oi role of
tho right kind ; but promiscuous visiting I
detest. Now 1 think I havo found just
the partner I required in Miss Mather.
She is well informed, agreeable, simplo in
her taster, has sound sense, and withal
possesses a largo sharo ofpersonal beauty,
and, if I mistake not, tho power of loring
very deeply. II I marry her, and tako
hor to the city,hcr iutu tivc fact and sho
has this in a remarkable degree will soon
suppl y any deficiency in maimer. In
short, 1 do not know where 1 could make a
better choice.'
'How? when she has no accomplish
ments.' 'Sho can sing with untaught graor, and
as lor jahberling Frenoh,l don't know bow
that would mako her bitter. Sho would
soon learn too, with her quick parts, I5u
sides I caro moro to hove ono pot-sosting
only superficial accompli bments.'
'Rut her. family ! ll-collect who your
grind-father was.'
'And who was hers J a worthy divine,
poor I grant, but estimable. Reside!, Iam
above the oant you tall: of. I' would care
little whether they were of royal blood or
peasant extraction. I belieTo with Rums
that 'worth makes tho man,' and the only
degradation I acknowledge is that of
crime'
'Well if ynu are resolved on it, I know
enough of your ohstinancc to say uo moro,
I5ut faith 1 Lnvoll, if you hail a guardian
an (1 I was he I wuuld lake you from this
place to-morrow. You'd thauk me for it
when you recovered your senses.'
Thin conversation hire, ceased 5 nnd di
rectly tho two friends retracted theit steps
to the villago
The uest morning Lovell'a companion
came down stair.i aitircd fur a journey.
'1 am going hack to town,' he saitl,tired
of ruralizing. The tit fur that is over,and
I am afraid if I stay hero 1 shall bo as
foolish as you.
So tho two patted, for Lovell remained
behind ; and in less than a week, it was
known everywhere in tha village that ho
aud Edith were engaged to bo married1
'll you eau content yourself with the
precarious life of a poor artist,' ho said
when ho told his afL'ction, wo may be
happy.'
I'idith a-nsTiored 'with a look of her
bright eyes, so tender, confiding and elo
quent that Lovell adored her from that
moment morn than ever.
In a fortnight they woto married, when
Lovell took his biidctotro his rclttions
in tho southern city from whence ho eatno
Edith's parting with her aunt was sor-
Tho Arab and. His Serpents.
A Paris correspondent says : "I stop-
pod to see some of tho numerous shows,
which arc in full operation during tho hot.
idayfl. I found mysolt at last within a
cirolo whoro nn Arab was showiDg off
with eoven or eight groat Forpents. I
wanted to turn and go away ,but the crowd
had becomo so great that I found I could
not move, anil obliged to remain a wit
ness of certainly ono of the mot curious
and frightful spectacles ever offered to
the public. Tho snako .oharmor was
seated on tho ground, after tho fashion of
his country, with his snakoa all around
1 ; two or threo ol them wcro of tho
most enormous size ; almost as largo as
as a full grown bna. He would take them
up iu his hands, let them wind around his
legs, arm", body, neck and head ; stick
out their forked tongues and kiss him on
the hands, the lips, the eye lidn, and pro
sent their heads or tails to him, us ho com
manded them.
While the spectacle - was proceeding in
the most successful way, one of the largest
snakes slipped oft unnoticed by the Arab,
or apparently so, and dragging itself along,
got out of tho crowd, everybody, you may
ho sti ro, giving him a clear spaeo Just
outstdo of tho circle two dogs wore play
ing together. Thcscrpcnt ro sooner ra
pied them, than he raised his head; and
in an instant wan buy winding himself
around tho body of ono of thcumfortunate
animals. Tho poor dog litterally sorcam
cd with fright. It was like the tcrcam of
a human being. ,f
The nrali no sooner heard it and under
stood tho cause, than ho got up, went to
tho spol, and without toiiohinn; the forrent

instantly uncoiled itiol'l' slowly until it

did, as soon av lie git'loorc. Tho sur

Threes Home Rales.
It appears to me tint throe simple rules
steadily observed from the very germ ol
active existence, would mako children's
tempers much more mutable than we gen
erally poo them.
First, nevca givo anythiug improper lo
them becausu they stro.igly and pasjion
atoly desire it ; and ever to withhold pro
per things ftom them until they manifest a
right spirit.
Second, always to gratify every reason
able dcaire when a child is pleasant in its
request, that your chilitrcu may seo that
you lovo to mako them happy.
Third, never become impatient and
fretful yourself, but proportion your dis
pleasure to exactly their oliense.
If parcuts become angry aud dpoak
loudly aud harshly upon every light fail
ure of duty they may bid adieu to domes
tic subordination, unless the grace of God
interposed to snatch tho little victims of
severity from distinction. I feel confi
dent of what observation I havo mado,

A Tale of Terror.
At tho "Ctow Inn," at Antwerp, eonto
yoars ago, a whito spectre was seen bear
ing a lamp in ono hand and n bunch of
keys in tho other this unpleasant visitor
was seen by a variety of travelors passing
along the corridor.
Nothing would satisfy tho neighbors
that an unlortunato traveler had not bcon
nt some period or 0 trior despatched in that
fatal room hy 0110 of tbe provious landlords
of tho bouse ; tho hotel gradually abtainod
tho namo of tho "Haunted Inn," and
ccacd to ho frequented hy its old patrons.
Tha landlord finding himself on the
brink. of ruin, determined to sleep in the
haunted room, with a view of proving tho
grouudlessncss of tho story. To mako tho
matter more suro as ho said, he caused tho
hostlor to boar him company on preteneo
of requiring a witness to the absurd ity of
tho report j hut in reality, from cowardice.
At dead of night, however, just as the two
men wcro composing themselves to sleep
in ono bed leaving another which was in
the room untenanted the door flew open
and in glided the whito spectre.
Without pausing to ascertain what it
might attempt ou approaching .the bod,
towards whioh it directed its course, the
woman ru-hed naked out of the room 5
tand by tho alarm tiny created confirmed
more fully than over tho evil repute of tho
house.
Uuablo longer to sustain tho cost of so
unproductive an establishment, tho land
lord advertised for salo tho house iu which
ho and his father before him wero born
aud had passed ihcir lives. Hut bidders
woro as soaree as customers ; the inn ro
111 ai ned for alo for noarly a year, during
which from timo to time, the spectre ro
appeared.
At length an officer of tho ganiso'n,who
had formerly frequented the house, moved
to oomp.ission in favor of tho poor host,
under took to clear up thu uns-teTy by

America, bravo, matchless, victorious
land 1 If wo were proud of hor beforo
tho rebeliion, what may wo not feel for
her now iu her groat triumph I When tho
sun of prosperity shone upon her, nnd hor
ohildrcn walked on their ways in love,
honor it hapinosn, we east our eyes abroad
and saw foreign nations bent in homage
before us. No mattor if tho envious
tongue gave vest to bitter Enecrs some
times, and criticised our ways sarcasti
cally. It was hut from tho lips, whilo the
hoart Jioat strong with profound ressect for
a land on whioh God had smiled so bo-nignontly.
After tho lnpso of a half century of
peace .and prosperity unmarked by factions
with their tcrriblo rcsults,tho black clouds
rolledtup over tho bright sky, and burst
in storms upon us. ituhollious hosts nr
rayed themselves against us j and to make
it worse, wo must riso from our quiet firo
sides, arm ourselves with weapons of dc
slrtiction, and go (orth to meet aud con
quer thoio who had boon as a part of our
own household. That was the biltor cup
wo were forced to drink. A man could
rcmorsoly striko down a stranger who
sought his life ; hut when a brother assails
him, ho romembors tho tender mother at
whoso bosom each was narturcd, and it
becomes a hard task to striko, even in eelf-
defeneo.
And yet, a, timo wore on, and no ren-
son coulu tnliucnco tho actrrcssorJ, wo
came to feel that we must cease to sparo if
wo could hope for victory. To sparo to-!
day was to slay thousands in a year among
our best beloved. So wo norved oursolvcs
to our great purpose, nnd swept tho Irai-
t'oroii.s ranks from tho soil. No longer is
heard tho roll ot tho drum,thc shrill musio
of tho fife the measured tread of march-
ng columns. It is quiot.and poaob again.
Wo kavo our homes at monn with hearts,
droading not evil tidings with our return
at evening. From tho thronged stroets
wo miss only individual faces. The groat
human tido rolls on as. full and strongly
ns beforo. What greater proof than this
oan we have of our power and mightiness?
We have foupht such battles na histories
of no other country can record, and whilo
wo stand forth to-day crowned with victory
tha missing ouly known by those who re
main to mourn them. To tho eyes of a
stranger in our land, it is as if they had
novcr oxistcd.
Who shall say that wo havo not met
and passed tho crisis nobly? Who .shall
drod to say that lile was not held cheap
in comparison witli our country's honor?
llicher to-day for the noblo blood hor soil
has received purer for the tears of sor
