EOS'I STAT LATE TO NIGHT.
The hearth of home is beaming
With rays of rosy light;
And lovely eje are gleaming
As falls the shades of night;
And while the steps are leaving
The circle pare and bright,
A tender voice, half grieving.
ays, -Don't May late to night,
This world in which thou movest
la busy, brave and wide ;
The world of her thou lovest
I. on the ingle aide.
She wain for thy warm greeting,
Thy smile is her delight;
Jler gentle voice entreating,
gays, "Don't s:ay lata to night."
The world is odd, inhuman ;
Will spurn tbee in thy f 11 ;
The line of one pure woman
Outlasts and shames them all.
Thy children will cling round thee,
Let fitto be ark or bright ;
At btnie r.o i-haft will wound thee.
Then "Don't stay late to-night."
CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
I can never read an account in the news
paper of a gentleman of the Irish persuasion
arretted at the suit of his wife, and safely
lodged in the station house, without a feel
ing of intense auiu.seincut that requires ex
planation. Once, during the .summer solstice, when
everybody that was fcnyhndy (except my
self,) had gonj out "f town, I w;n left to my
own devices during the day and Ben's soei
eiy in the evening for what amusement I
c-mld End in hot pavements, shaded houses,
u n.l liliatio'is of ice water, for the space. of
tivo neverto-be-forgnttcn weeks.
I had iniuiolated myself on the .-hrine of
pi-derly affect inn. for Hen's down town af
i'lirs could not possibly be wound up before,
tlie ieeiSed two weeks bad expired; and a
mot comfortable feeling ot self-rigliteou3-nes-i
accompanied the sacrifice. To be sure,
a trip to Lake George was promised to me
as tbe rewanfof merit; and with this in
j.io-pccf, my captivity became qaite endur
a!le. lSoides, Ben and I were always ex
ceilent friends the two cronies, in fuct, of
ti:e family ; and as the others hail dispersed
richi and left on various summer pilariniajr
e, it behooved me to see that my favorite
brother was not left to the tender mercies of
llriL-t't.
Ail the neighbors had deserted us ; and 1
had watched trunk after trunk, and carnage
after carriage, starting for various destina
tiins. the newspapers aiiorued me, in xlie
letters from watering places, the delectable
information that ".Miss li was ch miiiijr
in a dress of blue crepe with pink trimming-;;"
"Mrs. G , hatidsonio aii'l Ii'a
f .''". in crimson moire antique ;" "Mis.
- -, like a snn.-et cloud in violet silk ;"and
m on through the alphabet generally. As I
I new sot-ie of those people very well. I won
drred if a transformation had taken place
from a i-hanpe ol resilience ; and hoped that
whnti'ver it was. I might not fail to catch it
wlit-n I to i. should paek up my tent like an
Arab. a:id glidt: in tlie darknesR away.
I fully expected to go in the morning,
when I diil p., ; but I think there is sonic
thin-i like this in one of Mr. Longfellow's
P M'tllS.
Oar next-d'Mr neighbor, Mrs. Beverley,
b-il gone with the two children, and faith-
fii black It we, at the very beginning of the j
finiin.T Sittings ; and as Mr. Beverley was
iii.v especial admiration, am! the children my j
favorite amusement, I wondered how I could
p issiMy get through the weary days without
t!:i -iii. Little -l.iry," (short for Theodore,)

an ar.nimatej sculpture of the purest mar

or at nought all the rules ot propriety.
A-1 fur the gentle, sorrow-stricken mother,

''" i;.r!y fixed upon the douiicilf whenever
'! I "i: laity oflered; and held endless dis-e-i-!
e.s with Ben as to whether all thedoors
"" i '-viihbtws were properly fastened. For a
coti-t uitional dread of burglars was one of
i: y !'tii)-; tiiT7'sie.s ; and I had f requeutly been
feiiKiiistiatcd with for looking upon theiu as
"'ilK-rnatural beings inasmuch as, from the
"-uru of my searches before retiring, I ev
i l-ii;!y expected them to lodge in Lureau
irawtrs, and store themselves away in small
bi'XS.
Mr?. Beverley had frequently spoken to me
f a Liothcr whom, as the country people say,
she scented to "set great store by ;" and
ho was now studying a profession in a dis
tant city. He was to join her in New Hamp
shire, and return with her on a visit ; and
she had expressed a strong desire that we
should see each other. I was quite persuad
ed lhat she Loped a great deal from this see
ing ; and I must eonfess that the fact of his
being Mrs. Beverley's brother threw a halo
of strange interest around Mr. Esselton.
I often found myself thinking of him and
wondering what he was like-or rather, what
he would strike me as being- like ; for, of
course, his sister Lad drawn her own im
pressions of hint for my benefit, and if these
impressions were correct, he must be an un
commonly fine fellow. II is photograph was
decidedly handsome ; and without ever hav
ing seen him, I felt pretty well acquainted
with him hi advance, and waited rather im
patiently for October to bring Mrs. Bever
ley back to town. I had even decided how
to "do" my hairj and what dress to appear
in, on my first presentation but I could not
help wishing that something unforseen and
romantic would oxur to bring about that
first meeting iu a way entirely different from
the usual hackneyed course,
I had my wish, as time will show.
About half of the two weeks had Worn
away.when a vciy warm day and night, that
called forth experiences and comparisons
from all the "oldest inhabitants," came
down upon us with fury; and after gasping
through the day in some sort . of fashion, I
left my couch at midnight in utter disgust at
my folly in supposing that I could sleep with
the thermometer high'up among the nine
tics, and betook myself to the window.
Certain sounds that proceeded from the
.next room convinced me beyond a doubt that
Ben, though present in body, was absent in
mind: and with the pleasing consciousness
of being the only person in the hou.-e at all
alive to tha affairs of this mundane sphere, I
turned my attention to the glorious moon
light that, as Hood enthusiastically says :
'-Makes earth's coinm'tet scenes apppear
All puetie. romantic and tender "
But while engaged in vague speculations
about the moon and stars, a sudden noise
brought my thoughts earthward again : and
glancing towards Mrs. Beverley's back pi ein
tses, I actually saw a mail on the upper ve
randah, opening oue of the bedroom win
dows!
My heart almost stood still with terror ;
but by fearful effort, I restaiued myself from
serea.mng tor lien was very hard to awak
en, and both our throats might be cut before
this was accomplished.
No: venturing a second look, I retreated
trembling from the window, and proceeded
to the ta.-k of arousing Ben as quietly as
possible.
Having obligingly left his door unlocked
for my especial comfort, there was no time
lost in effecting an entrance; and had my
brother been capable of appreciating the vis'
ion, he would have seen a wild creature in
white drapery calling his name in a night
mare whisper of terror "tut, of course, with
out the slightest effect.
Ben always slept with revolvers under his
pillow, which made me chary of touching
him lor fire-arms affected me as a drawn
sword did James the First ; but xmtn-tfiitif
must be done speedily, as I fancied that iiu
pudent man perhaps loading himself at that
very minute with movables.
'"Get up!" I shouted, waxing stronger,
"Ben ! Ben ! Get up this moment !"
"Tisnt time yet," grunted my provokinsr
brother, now half awake, as he turned over
like the sluggard.
I never had any patience with people who
almost requird a charge of artillery to bring
them Lack to their sober senses ; and shak
ing him now with right good will, I scrcam-
eii, lmeves: lljuoens:: rire!!I uet
J-
,,, - .
A head that would have served far Me
dusa started from the pillow ; and out came
those horrible revolvers, pointing directly at
me. A frantic yell, that I tried in vain to
smother, issued from my lips ; and Ben, now
quite awake, shouted at me :
"Maria! What in the name of heaven ?
the matter? L'o stop that confounded
noise !"
lie had quite forgotten to call me "Min
nie," as I had always insisted on being call
ed ; being terribly in earnest, he had gone
back to the humdrum appellation that rous
ed my intense disgust. I was tdo much ta
ken up with the revolvers, just now, to re
mind him of his omhsion, and between my
terror of the weapons, and his desire to use
them immediately upon oiiieboIjj, we seem
ed scarcely likely to come to an understand
ing. Finally, however, Ben was made to com
prehend what I had seen ; and being re
quested to retire while he djtined a few ar
ticles of clothing, I waited in breathless sus
pense for his reappearance.
"The fellow will not be in a hurry," said
he, in answer to my fears that he would es
eaf e; "he knows the fauiily are out of town.
I shall get a policeman, and secure him
quietls."
Aud bidding no be of good courage, he
closed the front door, and looked up and
down the street. I cowered in the parlor
half disposed to rush after Ben. and insist
upon accompanying him, but, I was not ex
actly in promenade custume, and it would
take so long to "'get myself up," I hat by
that time, the affair would be over. Then,
too, those dreadful revolvers might be used,
acd a bullet would be almost sure to lodge in
my arm, or, perhaps, in some more vital
poiut, should I chance to be withiu shooting I
distance.
These considerations induced me to stay 1
where I was, although wanting dreadfully j
to know how matters were progressing next
door. I was obliged, however, to wait for j
Ben's return, and then to draw the desired
information from him, piece by piece. !
After an interminable time, he made his !
appearance, sayiig: "Well, the fellow's
sifely lodged at the station-house for the
night ; let's go to bed, littlo girl."
And this was all, was it, after such an ex
citement? Brevity may be the soul of wit,
but it is not the soul of satisfaction when
one is hungering for information.
"Now," said I, planting myself on the
stairs in a decided attitude, "just please to
remember that he is my burglar; if it hadn't
been for me you would never have seen him,
and I insist upon hearing something about
hint. Begin at the beginning, and tell me
what you did first, after you left me."
"Looked for a policeman," replied Ben,
hopelessly.
"What next?"
"Found one."
"Next ?
"Told him I had a little job for him."
"What then? Ben. do you happen to
know that you are a particularly disagreea
ble and tormenting animal ? Why can you
not give me a spicy and graphic account of
your adventure, (which is one that you cer
tainly do not have every night of your life, )
so as to present it clearly to my mind ? If I
had gone in your stead, you would have
heard all about it, from beginning to end,
as a matter of course. 1 don't see why men
need be so stupid aud unsatisfactory."
"Well," rejoined Ben with a fearful yawn,
"I believe a woman can start up as bright
as a lark at any hour of the night, and talk
upon any subject in the universe ; but a fid
low can't be spicy and graphic at two o'clock
in the morning. ' Wait until to utorrow.and
I'll tell you all about it."
As he made a movement to ascend, I ex
claimed tragically. "If you advance it will
be over my body 1" and finding that some
thing of an obstacle, he retreated.
"Now," scid I, triuniphatulyj "what Was
the man doing when you found him ? Was
he rolling up the carpets, or what '!"
I had just been reading of a deserted
hou.-e entered by thieves, who coolly rolled
up the carpets, and other desirable articles
neatly for transportation, carrying them a
way as it was convenient, and I thought
howjilcasant it would have been for Mrs.
Beverley to return to a home iu this con
dition !
"He was not doing anything in particu
lar," was the retdy, "we found him com
fortably lodged iu the back bedroom sound
asleep."
I was filled with amazement to find that
my burglar had only wanted a night's lodg
ing. 'That does not follow at all," said Ben
authoritatively, " he was sure of his house
before he begun and being just then in
need of comfortable rest, he concluded to
take it, and other things, at his leisure.
He seemed determined not to wake un
til we had turned on the gass full blfst ;
when he sprung up an! c.ught me by the
hair.
A sight of my pistols, however, soon qui
eted him, to say nothing of the policeman's
appliances. He's too' nice-looking a fel
a . . I 11
low to be engaged in sucn work, anu lie
carried it off with a blub air protesting
against being disturbed, and assuriing us
that he hail a perfect right to lodge jjt Mrs.
Beverley's as he was a relative 6f lb
lady's.
"A relative? " I repeated with breath
less interest.
"Thats what he had said ; but the po
liceman coolv renlicu, with a irnn, lou
see it ain't exactly the fashion for relatives
to visit folks in your off hand way-climb-
ing in at their windows when they, are out
of town ; and as you seem to be in want
ofanieht's lodging, just put on your duds
and I'll accomntoda'e you af the station-
house.' 'How dare you mention such a
place to me ?' stormed the grandiloquent
burglar, 'I tell you I have just arrived in
the city tired out with my journey, and
came here, at the request of my sister, to
transact some business for her in this very
house."'
"His sister ! I exclaimed in great ex
citement ; but Bun went on regardless :
" 'Do I look like a burglar ?' he asked,
striking an attitude. 'All the burglars I
ever see were much like other people,' said
the policeman, 'some better, some worse,
and 'cause you happen to have a straight
nose and be personable looking, ain't no
reason why we should let you off. So, just
you come along qu'ut now, and it'll be the
better for you.' - "I'm obliged to you .for
your invitation,' replied the burglar, who
seemed more disposed to laugh than he
had been yet, 'which appears too pressing
to be declined ; but I can assure you that
I am very comfortable here, and also that
I have a perfect right here.' 'A differ
ence of opinion, mebbe,' returned the guar
dian of the public peace ; "but when I see
folksbfeaking itito other folks' houses, my
orders is to nab 'cm. 'But you didn't see
me doing any thing of the kind,' retorted
the culprit. 'You saw me peacefully sleep
ing, and made an unwarrantable assault upon
me.' 'Well, this gentleman's sister saw
you anyhow,' said the policeman, deter
mined not to be baffled. 'Then,' observed'
the robber, with rather a comical smile,
'It is to a lady that I am indebted for these
polite attentions?' So take care, little
sister, that he does not wreak his ven
geance on you.' "My experience of burglars
is uot extensive, but this fellow doesn't look
at all like his business just the kind of"5
man I'd like to smoke a cigar and have a
good talk with."
"Now," said I, severely, - "don't you
feel a little ashamed, after this long story,
of trying to put me off with a sentence?
But, Ben," I continued, with a strong con
viction that the burglar had 'ruth on his
Bide, notwithstanding the fact that Mrs.
Beverley's brother was supposed to be re
creating among the New Hampshire hills
at thai identical time, "Mrs! Beverly real
ly has a brother she has talked to me a
bout him often, and I 'do believe that man
was telling the truth."
"Pooh !" said Ben, incredulously,
"such a story is easily manufactured; it is
very natural for people to havc brothers,
and I suppose that was the first idea that
presented itself."
"Well," I replied, my conviction grow
ing stronger from opposition, "you must
go with me to the station-house to-morrow
morning ; and if I can identify this man
as Mr. Esselton, from the photograph that
Mrs. Beverley has shown me, of course
they will let him go. As I have gotten
him into a scrape, the least I can do, if
he is J-inocent. is to get him out again."
"Well, go to bed now," said Ben, whose
thoughts reverted to first principles, "and
talk about the station-house to-morrow.'.'
"-Let's go to bed.
Said sleepy head,' "
was my retort ; I ut Ben was in earnest,
this time, and tobed we accordingly weut.
I was visited by such troubled dreams,
though, in which Mrs. Beverley's brother
climbed iuto our window, and tried to
strangle me, that I gladly welcomed the
morning sun.
I gave Ben no peace until he had agreed
to accompany me tojtlie station house ; and
packing up my head and face in a double
green veil, I started bravely for the scene
of notion.
The premises were not inviting; and se
veral "poor unfortunates were lounging a
bout awaiting their sentence. Sitting bolt
upright in a very uncomfortable chair, with
an air of injured innocence, was an extreme
ly handsome, gentlemanly-looking young
man, whose features seemed familiar,
"The burglar," whispered Ben, by way
of introduction.
"Oh 1'eri !" 1 cxelamed, quite conscience
smitten, ' do nuke them let htm go ! I am
sure he is Mrs. Beverley's brother !"
"Does he look like the portrait ?" asked
Ben frith considerable interest.
'"Yes," I replied, scarcely daring to look,
I aril almost sure it is the same face. But
let me tret outside, and then tell them that
we made a mistake."
I did not know What Wiis passing inside,
b hf my face burned painfully ; and when
Ben joined me, I walked away at race
horse patfe.
"That was a gteat idea of yours, said
my brother laughing, "and placed me in
rather a queer position ' just the next
thing to apologizing to a roan for shoot
ing him because you took him for some one
else ! He really is a nice fellow, thongh,
and shook my hand as greutefully as though
I had never disturbed his slumbers. He
said that, in future, he would never enter
his own home unless he could go in through
the door, and at an ortnouox hour, lie is
coming back with his sister in the autumn.
and then I hope we shall see something of
him."
' never wish to see nor hear of him a-
gain ?" said I wrathfully, "and I only wish
he would go somewhere ainohg the canni
bals, and be eaten up ss soon he landed ?"
Ben offered rne his knifu in default of a
tehpenny nail ; but the condition at which I
had arrived demanded a two hours' crying
in my room, before I was sufficiently com
posed to take up the burden of the day.
Of course, I wrote immediately to Mrs.
Beverley, telling her of my ridiculous mis
take and intense mortification, and beg
ging her to explain to her brother just how
i; had all happened ', and I so n received a
reply that was characteristio of her own
sweet self.
"If I could put a good, hearty laugh on
paper," she wrote, "you should certainly
have it as some faint representation of the
cachinnations of Harry and myself over
your proceedings. To think that one whom
I have always looked upon as a well-dispos
ed young lady, should make such an unpro
voked attack upon such an inoffensive young
man, and actually lodge him in the station
house ! Oh, Minnie ! Minnie ! I could
not have believed it of you !
z "But, seriously, my deaf cliild, I beg
.that, instead of giving yourself my un
easiness, you will accept my greatful thanks
for watching my premises so faithfully ; and
you certainly had every reason to suppose
that a man who would enter my wiudow at
two o'clock in the morning, could not pos
sibly be a respectable member of society.
I really did send him, though, to spend the
night there, and to get some valuable pa
pers ; and I told him, moreover, how to un
fasten the window. Harry seems far more
impressed with your kindness in getting
him out of the station-house than with
unkindness in getting him in ;and he is so
anxious to express his thanks in person,
that I am afraid he will succeed in worry
ing me home some weeks sooner -than Iin-
iended."
Now, I had not the slightest desire to
see this injured young man and when the
time of his arrival came, like all other
things wc dread, with amazing celerity, I
called up all my powers of stiategy for de
cent excuses to avoid the evil moment.
But that provoking Ben must needs
take" to him wonderfully ; and somehow
or other, I always found myself doing what
ever Ben did. It all seemfid like a dream;
my introduction to Harry Esselton, engage
ment, and marriage; but the affair of the
burglary has furnished the whole family,
himself included, with so much amuse
ment, that I can scarcely regret having
once lodged my husband in the station
house. . -' -

, A Situation Opkx. The romance of the
runaway darkey was quite played Out after
the people of the North and South had peck
ed their flints for the final shot. Once in a
while, however, there comes a reniiniscense
which shows Sambo's native humor, and
how irresistablo was his hankering for the
"boon of freedom.". Before the war there
came into the bar-room of a hotel in Canada,
near the frontier, a bright looking negro,
who was thus addressed by one of the emi
nent persons usually found in such resorts:
"I s' pose you're a runaway slave," said
one, looking sharply at the newcomer.
Feeling that he was pretty well away from
bondage, the darkey responded that he was.
"Ah, indeed; well, we're glad of it; but
you don't seem to look very poor have good
clothes down South ?"
"Certainly," said the darkey, with some
pride. "Same clothes as my master."
"But you got many a good threshing.eh ?"
"Never had a whipping in my life."
"Never thrashed ("said another; "well,
but you niggers dou't always get enough to
eat. do you?"
"Always had enough, geinmcn , never
went hungry."
"What !" said the interrogator, "good
clothes, no punishment, and plenty to rat.
"Now,', said he, turning to the group, "on
ly think of it ! this fcll.w has left a posi
tion where he enjoys all these privileges for
an uncertainty."
"Gemmen," said the darke', "all I'se
got to say respectin' dem privileges, is, dat

What Constitutes a First Cijvss
Wouk-Man. It seems to me that in the
desire to impart to the working classes a
general course of study, much harm may be
done: for it must be kept in view that the
possession of ten finger.?,coupled with a large
store, it may be, of head kuowledge, does
not neeessarily give the power to any lad to
beeome an accomplished workman. To ex
eel in handicraft is a gift possessed in .dif
ferent persons, just like excellence in class
ical or scientific accomplishments; and it is
at best, by an early apprenticeship to the
work and a patient practiee of it, that most
persons, even though having what is call
ed a mechanical turn, are enabled to ac
quire perfection ; and it would be exceed
ingly undesirable to employ either the
heads or the time of apprentices in studies
which have not the direct effect of iinpro
veing their manipulation and management
of the materials with which they have to
deal. The recent advocates of improved
technical education, in their zeal for he id
knowledge, have given to perfect manipula
tion g really too subordinate a place ; and in
the educational arrangement they propose,
they do not eoniider and provide for the
time and difficulty of acquiring those high
manipulative attainments which every
l-lll t l... -a.
SKincu workman snouiu aim to possess, jse-
canse, after ail, what it it but manipula
tive superiority that gives success to any
branch of manufacture, and what but la
borious practice, coupled with some a-
inount of natural aptitude, will ever mak
a first dlass workman ?
