''Tht-rj pow, you niay consider yourself !io!e. " 11 iw skillful you are," said Mark, ad-f-iniiily, after he had thanked her sin- '.Vrely. ."But tlien you have so many nice little conccrns to work with. I have only a needle and some wax, besides my scissors." "You ought to have a housewife, Mr. Thornbrooke," said Miss Lily, timidly, lift her long lashes in his direction. Lily never could speak to Thornbrooke without a soft, little rosy shadow on hercheek. "A what?" demanded Mark, turning red. "A housewife." 3s"Yes," said Mark,iifter a moments awk ward hesitation, "iny friends have often told me so and I really think so myself, you know hut what sort of a one would you recoaimend. Miss Raymond ?" "Oh, any pretty little concern. I'll send you one in the morning, if you'll accept of it," she added, with a rosy light on her cheeks Hgain. "Il I'll -acceptit!" said 31 ark, feeling as if he wers in an atmosphere of ;iearl and ild, with two wings sprouting out of his broadcloth, on either side. And just as he was opcuitig his lips to assure Miss Lily that he was ready to take the prieeless gift to his arms then and there without any un necessary delay, the door opened aud in , walked Jones. Mark was not at all canabalistic in his propensities, but just then he oould have eateu Jones up with uncommon pleasure. Aud there the ieiiovv sat until Mark rose in dofpnir to go. Kreu then he hd no op portunity to exchange a priva.e word with LtJy. "You you'll not forget ' Oh, I'd tie sure to reuieiuber," said she, uii!ing!y, aud half woudering at the uuuau ai tiicsiu.e ho gave her band. "Ladies of ten do provide their bachelor trieuikso." Maik went home the happiest individual that e ver trod a New York pavement. In deed to great was his felicity that he iu dul;red iu various gymnastic capers indica tive of bliss, and only paused in them at the gruff cautiou of a policeman, who proba bly had forgotten his owu courting days "(Joiue, young mail, what are you about?" " W as there ever a more delicate way of assuring me of her favoiabie coutiJcsatii n? Was there ever a more feminine admission of her sentiment? Of course the will come herself a:i angel, breathing airs from Par adise oh, the delicious woids! Wonder uhat nei;hboi hood she would like toe to ciiuge a residence iu how soon it would be best to name tiie day ? Oh ! if I should &wakc aud find it all a blisslul dream ?" '"Early the next moruing Mr. Thorubrook set briskly to work, "rigging up things." iiow he swept and dusted aud scoured the room was aired to gut rid oi tobacco smoke, sprinkled with cologne, and made Ljuutil'-Jl Xciioiu.iy. And ut icouth when the dust was ail swept into a comer, aud covered by a caretesily (!) disposed irewspaper,ha found the window-glass turnkey, and polished it wtih such vettenoo that his lisi, haudker thief aud all, went through, sorely damag ing the band, and necessitating the uugrace iul necessary of an old hat to keep out the tfintry blasts for the time beinij. However this mishap did not long damp his spirits, for was not Lily coming ? Long and wearily he waited, yet no tinkle of the bell gave warning of her approach "It's all her sweet J'ciuiuiae modesty," thought he, and was content. " At length there was au appeal below, and Mark's hea-.t jumped into his mouth, beat ing like a reveille drum. lie rushed to the door, but there was ho one Lut a little grin ning boy with a box. "Miss Ilaymonds eoniplimenls,arid here's de housewife, sir." "The housewife, you little imp of Ere bus!" "Yes sir, in the box, all right." Mark slutik back into his room, and open e J the box, half expecting to see a full dress ed youug laJy issue from it a hi Arabian Nights: Bit no it was only a little blue velvet book, and full of odd compartments in azure silk, containing tape, needles, silk, scissors and thimbles, and all the nice work table necessaries. "And she calls this a housewife," groaned Maik, in ineffable bitterness of spirit at the downfall of his bright visions. "But I wont be put off so." Desperation gave hiui courage, and off he hied to the I'aytuond mausioa, determined to settle the matteiif there were forty Jones' and Esthers there. Bat Lilliau was alone, singing at her em broidery in the sunihincy window casement. Dear nie, Mr. Thornbrooke.is anything the matter?" Perhaps it was a shadow from the spleo d:d crimson cactus plumes in the window that gave her cheeks such a delicate glow perhaps but we have no right to pecu lati. "Yes." And Mark .at down by her side, and took the trembling, flutterio? hand. "You sent nie a housewife this morning?" "Wt it right," faltered L'liaD." "It wasn't the kind I wanted at alL" "Not the kind you wanted?" "No : I prefer a live one, and I came to see if I eould change it. I want one with brown hair and eyes something in short, Miss Lilian, just your pattern. Can't I have it?" Lily turned white and then red; smiled, and then burst into tears, and then tried to draw awayjher hand ; but Mark held it fast. "Yes," she said, with the prettiest con fusion in the world ; and then, instead of releasing the captive hand, the unreasonable fellow took possession of the other, too. But aa Lily did not object, we suppose it was all right. "And that was the old path by which Mark Thornbrooke was diverted from the walk of old bachelorhood, and stepped into the respectable ranks of matrimony. : A Horrible Story. -A correspondent of the London Times says' : The police magistracy of Cracow late ly received an anonymous letter stating that a nun had been immured in a neighboring cloister since lS-tS, and begging that justice might be done ta her. The name of the nun is Barbara Abryk. She was born in 1817, joined the cloister of barefooted Car melite r.uns in 1S41, whether as a nun or as an extern is not yet judicially ascertained, and in 1848 was confined in the cell where she was foond. The nunnery where she was immured lies in one of the prettiest fau bourgs of Cracow, near the Botanical Gar dens, a favorite resort of the citizens. Little did they fancy that within, these cloisters a scene was being enacted which, if described by one of our sensational romance writers, we should regard as the offspring of a dis eased fancy, but which here was a frightful leality. The magistracy, being informed, immedi ately took active steps to ascertain the truth. Whether they were bound to apply to the Bishop to aid them I do not J. now. ITnder the Concordat they would, but I think scarcely now. However, they thought .it be.-t to have his aid. which was granted, while at the same time .he suggested that it inhibit prove a mysliticaliun. "V ith Dr. Geb hardt, the representative of the magistracy, he sent also a reverend prelate, Dr. Spiral. On arriving at the cloister they had some difficulty in obtaining an entrance, but this was overcome by the presence of the prelate and the sanction of the Bishop to their ad mission. When the magistrate informed the sister who received them that he had come here to see and to speak with the nun Barbara Abryk, she shrunk back, aud re plied that it was not possible. She would then have hastily retired with another sister but was prevented, Dr. Gebhardt, the mag istrate, ordering her in the name of the law, not to move..' Accompanied then by the nuns, the commissioners ascended to the upper corridor, where between the dining room and the cloaca they were shown the cell of the nun, with its strongly fastened double door. On entering the cell, a spec tacle met them scatccly to be described, and yet it ought to be told, for it shows what fearful wrongs may be perpetrated if indi viduals are handed over to tire tender mcr cies of Concordats, and to arbitrary, irre sponsible rale. The cell was some seven feet in length by six feet in breadth. The window was walled up, aad only thiough a narrow chink a ray of tunltght could pene tra'c. There were no table.1; nor chairs.and no stove to furnish heat in the inclement winter. The Ment-h of the cell was hardly sttpportable. In a corner, lving on rotteu, fitinkhig straw, !,y the poor crouching crea- turo,'Vi7 SIe.i:h hull Tkirr" half hun.a , half a brute, half savage, half ma J, utterly nakeJ, her body filthy, for she had not been washed for years.,. Her lean bones hanging loose, her checks sunken, her Tiair dishevelled and dirty-a fearful bcing.whom even Dante, with his nnmzi ng itnacinative force, cotil 1 not have portrayed. This poor skeleton of a woman at the sight of her vis itors shonk herself up, and, folding her hands and hitteily weeping, said, "I am hungry, have pity on me, give nie food and I will he obedient." The magistrate imme diately pent l'or the Bishop, who, to do him justice, showed as strong indignation as any other. Let the fame of Bishop Oueleski be honored for it. lie called the abbess.the nuns, and the father confessor into his pres ence, and reproached them with the utmost severity for their inhuman conduct. The wretched abbess he commanded to conduct the nun Barbara into another cell to be' clothed and cared for. As the poor nun re tired she asked if "the was to be led back to her grave." The abbess seemed quite unwilling to obey the ecclesiastical order. -She evidently thought that iu sparing the nunnery a scandal she had dona a work pleas ing to God. The father confessor of the cloister ventured to say that the immuring of the nuo had been known by the Church authorities, which both the Bishop and the prelate indignantly denied as an utter false hood, and the former suspended both him and the abbess at once from their offices. The nuns tried in their turn to excuse themselves, but with as little success. "Is this," he said, "your love of your neighbor? Will you reach heaven in this way, you furies not women ?" And when they attempted to answer "Be silent," he thundered out,"go out of my sight, you who have scandalized religion. Away with you." The poor nun was asked why she had been immured. She answered, "I have broken the vow of puri ty;" but then added with a fearful gesture and a wild spring, 'These nuns also are not pure; they are no angels." Then she sprang on the cotifessor.crying, "Thou beast" The following day the nua was visited by the medical authorities. In their opinion she is rather bewildered, become wild and savage, rather than deranged, and they hold out hopes of her recovery. As to her confession of miseonduct, it still remains to be seen whether this be not a delusion of the briin. The abbess does not seem to have accused her of anything but madness, if we can, in deed, count that an accusation. Barbara, the nun, has since been taken to an asylum for the insane, and she seemed a little revived by the fresh air, but she trem bled on entering the institution, and finding that she ws' to be under the care of the "Gray Sisterhood." Several hundred of the citiiens attempted to seize and destroy the nunnery and expel the nuns. Military force alone prevented the accomplishment of their purpose They afterwards attacked a Jesuit institution where there is a rumor that great cruelties have also prevailed. The moral that we draw from this horrible storr is that monas teries and nunneries must be thrown open to the free inspection of the civil power. . True Eeligion. A striking story in the Talmud showing ks broad conception of what constitutes re ligiousness, is that of the Sage, who, walk ing in a market place crowded with people, suddenly encountered the prophet Elijah, and ajked him, who out of that vast multi tude would be saved? Whereupon the prophet first pointed out a strange looking creature, a jailor, because he was merciful to his prisoners. Aud next, two common looking tradesmen, who came walking thro' the crowd, pleasantly chatting. The- sage instautly' rushed toward them and asked then whatwere their saving works. But they, much puzzled, replied: "We" are but poor workmen who live by our trade. All that can be said of us is that we are all good uatured. When wo meet anybody who seems sad, we join him, and we talk to him so that he will forget his grief. And if we know of two persons who have quarrelled, we talk to them, aud pursuade them, until we have made them friends again. This is our whole life." -In fact, there is in the human heart an instinctive sense of tho difference between professing and doing, between sentimental piety and practical religion, between seem iii and being. This is not affirming that one man's prayer, or hymn, or exhortation may not as truly, altogether perhaps to the same extent, help tho world as another man's deed of practical benevolence. But let us dismiss th.it notion that religious ex ercises, as they are called attendance at church and prayer meetings constitute the chief side of religion, or that a man who is conscientious in the performance of these things tlrereby covers a multitude of sius. The vital point is, whether what a man thinks about religion, or what he docs is relurion. What driven men apart is their theories or speculations conv-eruing religion, and not the thing itself. And, on the other hand, what brings men together is the opportuni ty to engage iu some practical, humane, Christian work. When word can from our armies, in the early period of the rebel lion, that our gallant and patriotic soldiers were i i need of meiiciucs, supplies an i ser vices the Government had not engaged to furnish, with what marvellous rapidity de nominational lines faded out, with what alac rity the scattered units crystallized iuto one glowing mass, fired with a common zeal and purpose. Was not "pure and undefined religion" more beautifully and effectively illustrated iu the history of the Sauitary Commission thau in all the learned debates- of church councils in all the ages of the Christian era? There w-is something more than extrava gant sarcasm iu the reply of a sick soldier in a hospital, who was pressed by an evangeli cal colporteur to tell him to what church he belonged : "Sir," said he, "I belong to the Sanitary Coiuiuissiou !" It is imposnible to unite men religiously upon abstractions. Now and then philoso phers may devise a bond of Union that wi.' promise to level all differences on the subject of religion, but the philosophical mind is needed to comprehend the scheme and the masses are not versed in philosophy. But show men a real need, let them hear a genu ine cry of distress, convince them that they have an opportunity and the ability to re lieve human suffering in any of its ever prcstnt forms and allfieurts are enlisted and all hands pledged to do the blessed work. In a vivid picture in one of his discourses, Jesus represents certain people as much as tonished to discover that they had been re ligious all their lives without knowing it. They little dreamed that the faithful per formance of common, evcry-day duties, the loving devoted service of humanity, was the religion of Him who went about doing good not lifting His voice in the streets, avoiding public demonstrations, and doing the Father's will quietly aud unobtrusively. If the old theory of church is true, then we are sure that there are saints outside of it, and if tho old notion of heaven be correct, even heaven cannot hold them all. Liberal Christian. A Goopk Race. Over two thousand people gathered on the banks above the pond, and along the lower end of Farnham street, on yesterday afternoon, to witness Bob Hart and Sully in their great wash tub goose feat. Promptly at the advertised time, Hart niade his appearance, followed by his competitor for the golden peanut of fered by Col. Hanford. Each sat in an or dinary wash-tub, to which was. attached six pairs of geese, driven and guided by an ordinary carriage whip. The most deafen ing applause, shouts and yells greeted the contestants as they were towel into the pond. Striking the Farnham street bauk both started side by side, talking to and urging on their feathered racers the same as a jockey would do in a trial of speed amongst fast horses. Half way across the pond Sully's team switched off and bolted for the weeds, giving Rob the lead by three and a half lengths. Recoveringjm course, Sully made splendid headway, gaining rapidly on the Hart outfit. One of his geese, however, attempting to dive, kicked a rear goose in the eye. The kicked bird at once cackled his defiance, and soon demoralized the entire team to such an extent that victory was iuiposible. Hart would have come in "O. K." only for his "wheel geese" baulking badly and upsetting the tub. Sully began laughing at his opponent's disaster, when his team made a sudden flank movement, which left the driver floundering in the mud. The assembled multitude yelled the louder at the accidents.. Righting their crafts, both par ties made for fchore, lleading their teams. Bob tx)k the prize. Omaha licj'ullicait. Paper Peticoats. The uses to which paper can be put seem to be in no way ex hausted yet. ' Paper collars have become a great fact of the present nineteenth oetitu ry ; but what will the- ladies say lo tho pa per petticoats? These have been produced with great success, ani will rival in' every way the snow-white and elaborately ornate garments poor male mortals are accustomed to look upon with fear and reverence. We have all heard of the artist who used to make caricatures of his friends upon his shittcollars, and the author who inscribed an epic upon a couple of dozen of the same useful articles of attire. Thus we see a fieldT of great usefulness for the petticoat of th future. Young ladies can Brake sketches from nature on their own petticoats. Eve ry datnsal her own sketch-book, will be their motto. Poets can inscribe sonnets to their mistress' ankles round the hern of her petti coat. Mothers can have fairy tales, alpha bets and small sholastic works inscribed on their garments, and so "instruct their child ren as they walk about with them. Fancy an anouncenieut: "Madame Percale begs leave to call the attention of ladies about to visit the seaside to her few and richlyem broidered petticoats, at one shilling each. Each pe ticoat contains an instalment of a new novel of great domestic interest, by Mr. Antony Trollope, entitled "Tucks or Frills. The story will be complete in 'fifty weekly petticoats." There is no reason whatever that journalism should not be rep resented in this way. For example, the Daily Pettieoat, a journal for ladies: or the Weekly Pinafore and Girl's Gazette. A Plea for Simple Melodies. Rev. Henry Ward Beeeher is riht upon the mu sic question. He says : "It is no wonder that singing has died out from the congre gation, when a choir is put up to recite words that nobody can understand, to music that nobody knows, and the people are left to listen to newly converted opera airs, which were brought over by a fresh troup of for eign singers. And these sweet melodies, that stilted propriety has long ago driven fiotn the churches, but whuh have gone forth among the people, and rung nut glori ously in campmeetings, shaking the forest leaves with the ascending shouts of a mighty people, or which, more gently, have filled rural school houses and' humble lecture rooms and village churches, not yet corrupt ed by the false pretenses of clasical music tho.se sweet melodies that no one can hear with his ear, and not feel his heart beating in his bosom all the faster for ths sound are become the ridicule of men who think that God must be praised to the sound of Myerbeer or Rosini, and not to the eweet and humble melodies of our own lad." How He Said Grace. A man being ou a tramp lately to Canada says that at a cer tain farm house in the back woods, where he had occasion to stop, the following rich scene took place. The family were about to partake of their breakfast, and sat down for that put pose. The old man being a lover of squirrels and that being the principle dish of the morning's repast, had his particular piece laid on the side of the dish next to him. The old man commenced saying grace, as follows : "Oh, Lord we thank thee for the blessing thou has set before ns ; do thou guide and direct us through life" here raising his eyes, he preceives his son Gideou laying his hands on his choice piece of squirrel, and then in a hurried manner ended the grace "deliver us from evil, for the Lord's sake, amen, by gol!y,Gii,thal'a my piece! hand it here." New Postal Coxvestion. According to the postal convention which has just been concluded by the governments of the Uni ted States and Switzerland, the postal mon ey order system is to be brought into use between the two countries. Persons wish. ing to transmit money can do so through the Money Order Department of the Post office without taking the trouble to buy bills of exchange from the bankers. The matter of exchange has been arranged by the Post master General through a banking house in New York. Parties sending mor.cy to Swit zerland will need to have deali lgs only with money order clerks at the various postoffices throughout the country, and will thus es cape all the vexation occasioned by the flue tuating and irregular eharges often made on the same day by different bankers. It is to be hoped that postal conventions with similar provision may soou be made with other European countries. A physician having finished the amputa tion of the leg of one of his patients, a near relative of the latter called him aside, and siid, anxiously, to him : "Doctor, do you think your patient will recover ?"."Recoycr! there has never been the least shadow of hope for him." "Then what was the use of making him suffer?" "Why, my dear fellow yoa astonish me! Could you say brutally to a sick man, 'you are dying ?' He must be amused a little." An aristocratic lady of Connecticut, after anxious inquiry as to what would remove some paint spots from her window glass, was told that "elbow grease" was the best thing known. Whereupon she . uuively re plead, "Oh I'm so glad to have found out, I wonder if they keep it at Lea?" ''Now, sir," asked n magistrate of a va grant Irishman, "what motive brought you to London?" "The locomotive sir." Is a man who has made a fool of himself to be considered a self-uiade man ? A. W. WALTERS, ArroitKEr at Law, XV. Clearfield. Pa. Office in the CourtSlouse.
