"Patsy Spangle," furnishes the fol lowing charming .sketch to the Louisville Coffrier.• There are many ladies, Nvv- dare say, who think with Mrs. Spangle, if they dared speaklout. To them this letter will be a great treat: • FANNGLVI AS A LOVER. -I first met Spangle at a cduntry fair. We were introduced to each other about ten o'clock in the morning, and, if you will be lieve me, I did not get a chance to speak to an',- other gentleman that day. I never saw n fellow so struck, al , first sight. I don't think he saw a horse, or in fact anything that wag on exhibition that day but me, al though there were present many of the. most beautithl and accomplish 4 young ladies of that section of the country. As hr was ex tremely good looking, of good family, anti of unexceptionable -habits and character, I, of COUNe, felt flattered by his marked prefer ence. I had to take hint to dinner and in= traduce him to pa and ma and the 'whole family. Ik made a very, good impression. In fact Spangl'e can shine when lie tries. I remeritber that fact with pride. Well, it is the old story. Ile bcrante infatuated, and obtained my permission to visit me at my home and spend a day there in just two weeks from the day we first met. During these two weeks I received daily long letters from Simon, closely written and cross writ ten (I wish I had kept them.) At length the day for his visit arrived, and -lo and behold, the servant girl awoke me; in the morning with the pleasant information that Spangle was waiting for me in the parlor. Here was a lover for you! :SARRIAGE AND lIONEVAIOON Well, well ! As I said before, it was the old story recurring, ever sweetly told, and ever listened to by willing cars. Suffice it to say that from that day I saw no peace until I became Mrs. Spangle. Our honeymoon Was. I suppose, like all Honeymoons, Minn and-delicious. I== And then came the realities of life. It is my belief that this is the most trying period of woman's life. However kind and atten tive the husband may be, a voung wife, when she enters upon the actualities of life, has disclosed to her a state of facts of which she has little or no conception before marriage. When she-leaves an atmosphere 'of romance and adulation and, enters upon the realities of lite, it is like stepping out of a garden of summer flowers into the _region of perpetual winter, and unless she brings all of her good sense and philosophy to her aid, her affec tions will become chilled, and she will re gard herself a•disappointed, if not a deceived woman, for the babinee of her lite. It is the hope that our experience may be of benefit to young wives that induces me to reveal some of the domestic incidents and infelici ties of twelve years of married life. - After our brief holiday, Spangle—to use his own expression—took a tilt at the world, de termined to wrest from it not only a compe tence hut a fortune, that iyould place me in the most beatific attitude to be-obtained by opulence. - The dear fellow did work hard, and If he' met with obstacles, and ditliculties,:and trials the world knew it not. He reserved them for his fireside, and although he did not ac cuse me as the cause, yet lie recounted' them in a tone mid manner so different from the joyous and buoyant language of courtship, that I could but feel i was some way or otheraccountable for his troubles. Although I never seriously doubteil his love for me, yet he certainly permitted many excellent op portunities for manifesting it tc, pa.., unim proved. Before we were married, he seemed' to have a perfect mania for holding my hand, and I used to wonder if he would ever - give me an opportunity to do my needle work after marriage. But, bless your soul! after marriage when opportunities for indulging in that delicacy were past, it seemed to have lest its - charm. Poor, ,foolish me! Lwas often aggrieved at his apparent coolness, and would ask him twenty times a day if lie did not love me. "Why certainly I do, my dear little puss. • T thought yon knew it.". he thought I knew it ! Perhaps I did. I also knew that we had plenty Of flour and bacon in the -pantry, but that knowledge did not satisfy my hunger. THE HONEYMOON IN A PARTIAL ECLIPS.T. It is true that this affection manifested it self sporadically with all the warmth and ardor of the old days ;- but these ebullitions were the exceptions. The rule was, "I• thought you knew it." Yes, girls, when you get husbands they will expect .you to know it,,and my advice to you is, that you get all the courting pint want before you get • mar ried, for after that event what little courting Is done in the family will have to he done by the wife. I= We have six children, all beautiful and good. Spangle takes great pride in them, loves them. and growl.l. at them like a jdear old bear. Yon must not think that Spangle regards the "new corners" as burdens. Quite the reverse. He goes into ecstacies over each one; dilates upon its beauties and per fections for five minims, and then seems to think it ought to be laid away to grow up. and be no further trouble to him until they want to marry. If one 'of them has the bellyache and cries at night, Spangle thinks that the pain is a. special hardship to him, because it keeps him awake a few minutes. The fact is undeniable that the best men arc selfish brutes so tar as babies are concerned. srAxottfAT HOME I will say. though, that of- the children I have, Spangle is the biggest baby. 'Ti. true he was through most of the ailments I have enumerated before I got-him, but in a thous and other respect he still is, and always will i remain in 'the chronic: state of' babyhood which ever attends over-indulged and spoiled . husbands. When we Were first married my old baby would almost break his back to pick up my Iho, and he would kill a fly in a min ute if the fly manifested a disposition tr . , alight on my nose. Now I have to almost literally drecs lom in the morning. I have biget his boots togeth er, one of which he generally kicks under the bureau, the other under the bed. I M- I ways have - to find 'his cravat. If I go to best first, in the morning I find his clothes scat tered over the room as only a man can scat ter clothes. He would never put on a clean Shirt if it were not spread OUt on a chair be fore him. Rig sleeve buttons are taken 'out and put in by me;.wben taken out and. put • In ixall. Doet believe he )ties combed his. hair since we were married. lie can't even wash his face prot}erly without being told, like any other cluld. If I did not wash him, his ears and the back of his neck would be a sight to behold. 2. ` FPANGI.E ON MCI,: RED. ' Albeit he has no patience .for others who have pains and aches, yet yoit ought to see him when anything is the matter with him. Ile tears, and groans, and grunts over a Alight attack of colic in a manner to keep every one awake in the house. At such times he always believes he is going to die, and will not suffer me to leave him for a moment•. Yet with all his faults I—well, you know the quotation. I believe he is the best man living, and I would not give him for a ten acre lot full of men like the scapegrace of a husband which your foolish, credulous cor respondent "Dolly Dash," is so silly about. Domestic Operas Since the groWth of the opera. mania an enthusiastic* friend of ours and hiic wife have become so carried *away with the ,furore awakened by attending two nights at the opera, that, it is the _hardest thing in the world thr them to restrain their disposition to sing everything—the more so, because they are both proficient in music. The c,ther morning, while ordering his dinner,the butch er—a sedate man—was surprised to hear our friend shout out, with most emphatic enunci ation— "What will you take For that 'ere steak ?" The butcher winked at his partner, and answered, with an air of composure, "Forty cents, sir;" but it was evident that ourfriend was down in the day-book of his estimation as a lunatic. Making his purchase and go ing out of the door, he met with a neighbor Jones.' Extending his, bands frantically, he sang— " Alt, friend .Jones, and is it you? How do you do, .Tones? hpw do you do? 'Long time since we've met together, Isn't this delightful weather ?" IMI - Jones was asiouished, as well he might be. Passing into a bakery to procure some bread for bre::Ault he sang— 'Bakers! bakers bless your souls! Let us have a dozen rolls!" And rolled the word "rolls" out so tenderly _that the baker's wife burst into tears. The roll 3 were taken down by the baker's wife, when, finding his voice again, he sang, with great feeling— " Dearest one, with fingers taper, Tie the hived up in a paper!" Which she did: and he went home hum ming, and beating:lime - on the paper parcels he held in his arms. His wife met him at the door, wringing her hands. The fit was oh her, and she commenced singing— "My dearest Charles what do you think ? The coffee's all as black as inkl I'm so provoked that I can cry— SF:R'ARD CHARLES. "Stop, ow tear, it's all in your eye! When misfortune; come, why bear it ; I, your loving spouse, will share it ; Come, now, let us Hit at table, - Do the best that we arc able, Let ther,offee go to gnus, We will have some tea my lass." - WIFE. my Charles you happy make me." CITARLES.- "If I don't the deuce may take me! Hear the word that now I utter— My love is strong, and—so's the butter— Trust Inc it will ne'er be weary— Pass the toast and cheese, my deary." ROTH. "Now, good-bye, my dearest treasure'" eiIIRLES. "Co - ok the steak just to your pleasure But see that les not ovi , rdone, And I will be at home hy one." BOTH. Good-bye ! farewell'. 'Tis hard to part ; I canniit tell How dear thou art.' How this will end it is hard to foresee ; but "friends of the family" shake their heads, and point ,to their brains significantly, as much as to say, there's something wrong about our unfortunate friend's phrenology. llow the 'Romans Lived. Ifanything more were wanted to give its an idea of Roman magnificence, we would turn our eves from public monuments, de moralizing games and grand processions ; we would forget the statues in brass and marble, which outnumbered the living in- . habitant's, so numerous that one hundred : thousand have been recovered and still em bellish Italy, and would descend into the lower sphere of material -life—to those things which attest luxury and taste—to ornaments, dresses, sumptuous living and rich furnitur6. The art of using metals and cutting precious stoles surpassed anything known at the present day. In the decoration of houses, in social entertainments, in cookery, the Ro mans were remarkable. The mosaics, sig net- rings, cameos, bracelets, bronzes, chains, vases, couches, banqueting tables, lamps,col ored glass, mirrom, mattresses, cosmetic, per fumes, hair dye, silk robes, potteries, all at test great elegance and beauty. The tables of thuga root and Delian bronze were as ex pensive as the sideboards of Spanish walnut, so much admired in the great Exhibition at .London. Wood and ivory were carved as exquisitely as in Japan and China. Mirrors were made of polished silver. Glass-cutters could imitate the colors of precious stones so well that the Portland vase, from the tomb of Alexander Steven's, was long considered as :t genuine sardonix ; brass could be hard ened so as to cut stone. The Palace of Nero glittered with gold and jewels. Perfumes and flowers were, showered front ivory ceil ing.. The halls of Aeliwrabulus were hung with cloth of gold, enriched with jewel:. His beds were of silver and sables of gold,. Tiberius gave a million of sesterces for it picture of his. bedroom.' A banquet dish or Caesillus weighed five hundred pounds of silver. The cups of Drusus were of gold. . 'filmic, were embroidered with the figure: of i various animals. Sandals were garnished with precious stones. Pauline wore jewels, I when she paid visits, valued at $BOO,OOO. Drinking-cups were engraved with scenes from the poets. Libraries were adorned with busts and presses of rare woods. Sofas were inlaid with tortoise shells and covered with gorgeous purple. The Roman grandees rode in gilded chariots, bathed in marble baths, dined from golden plate, drank from crystal sups; slept on beds of Alown, reclined on luxurious couches, wore •embroidered relies, and were adorned with precious stones. They ransacked the earth . and the seas for rare dishes for their banquets, and ornament ed their houses with carpets from Babylon, onyx cups, cups from Bythinia, marbles from Nuninlia, bronzes from Corinth, statutes from 'Athens—whatever, in short, was precious or curious in the most distant countries. __The luxuries of the bath almost exceed belief, and on the walls were magnificent frescoes and paintings, exhibiting an inexaustible pro duetivenes.: in landscapes and mythological scenes. . IN Philadelphia, on Sunday evening, an did lady whose failing eyes demanded an un usually large prayer book, started for church a little early. Stopping on the way to call on a friend, she laid her prayer book on the gentry table. When the bells begun to chime, she snatched what she supposed to be her prayer-book and started for church. Her seat was at the chancel end of the gallery. The organ ceased playing. The minister read, "The Lord is in His holy Temple, let all the earth keep silence before Him." In the effort to open her supposed prayer-book, she started iho spring of the music-box which she had taken instead. It began to play—in her consternation she put it on the floor r lt would not stop—she put it on the seat, it sounded louder than ever. Finally she car ried it out, while it played the "Washing Hay," an Irish jig time. . prittNo a recent revival a very reverend clergyman accosted a yelling brother with the solemn question-, "My young friend, have you prayed tomight for the salvation of your immortal soul ?" "No, sir," answered the youth in a penitent lone, and with a down ca.st.look. • "Do you not desire to offer up thanks for the many mercies you have al. ready ri•celved by Divine Jltvor ?" "Yes, but I tion'tl know how,"- hesitatingly answered the - 3'o4th. "Rut, my dear boy, you can re peat the Publican's prayer, can't you ?" asked the minister, gravely. "No, sir," was the em phatic response, "I'm a Radical!" A now.s F.AWIr girl was asked, not longi since, to - unite herself to a brisk lad, who namea May in his propmals. The lady ten derly hinted that May was an unlucky month for marrying. "Well, make it June, then," honestly replied the swain, anxious to ac commodate.. The damsel paused a moment, cast down her eyes, and said, with a blush, ;;wouldn't April do as well?", , • Unfottunated-sreer. A younginedleal student' tram Idiettinan; who' had been attending lectures In New York for some time, and who considered himself exceedingly good looking - and fasci nating, made - a deadly onset on the heart and fortune of a bettunful young lady in the same family - with. him. After a_ prolonged siege, the lady surrendered.. They, were married on Wednesday miming. The same afternoon, the young wife sent for and ex- • bibbed to the astonished student a "beauti ful"-little daughter, aged about 'three' years and a half. "Good heavens ! then you were - a widow ?" exclaimed the student. "Yes, ' my dear, and this is Amelia, my youngest; to-morrow Augustus, James and Reuben will arrive front the country, and then I shall '- see my children uwetberonce more:" The unhappy student replied not a word; - - his feelings were too deep for utterance. The "other little - darlings" arrived: • Reuben was six years, James nine, and Angustrat a saucy boy of twelve. They. were delighted to bear that they had a new papa, because they could now lire at home and have all the playthings they..wanted. The "new pa pa," as soon as he eonld speak, remarked that Augustus and James did not much re semble Reuben and Acadia. "Well, no," - said the happy mother; "my first husband . was quite a different style of man from my second—complexion, temperament, the color of eyes and hair—all different." This was .too - much. Ile had not only married a wid ow, but was her third husband, and the as tonished step-father of four children. But the fortune, thought: he; that will make amends. Ile spoke of her fortune. "These are my treasures." said she, in the Roman matron style, pointing to her•chil dren. The conceit was quite 'out of the Michigander, who, finding that he had made a complete goose of himself,retired to a farm in his own native State, 'where he could have a chance of making. his "boys" useful, and make theta sweat for the deceitpracticed on hint by the mother. NO, 31 About as Mean as They Make Wn. 'Not many years since, in West Plymouth; S. H., it used to be the custom for the school master to "board round" - among the families of his pupils so as to save, expense,. Some times, of course, the days did not come out even—there would be eight* and one-half days at one house and nine at another. One man who was notorious for his meanness, just before the schoolmaster - lx:gati his din ner, said to him :"Mr. —,I. suppose, by rights, that your time iaup just - about half way through this dinner. That is as near as I can make it, and I have calculated pretty close.' But I don't wish to be small aboutit, and you can cat just about as much as you . would do for ordinary." • It used to be the fashion for all the folks in • the neighborhood of New London. Corm., to go to town and see the animal examination.of the scholars. One fellow brought his girl along with him in a wagon; but when the time fordinner came, instead of going with her to thejtotel, as the others did, he went to the shed where his horse was hitched, and taking out a purnpkin pie, he said : "Come here, Cecilia, let's have dinner. Fact is they charge so monstrous high to the hotel that 'I don't feel like submittin' to their extortion. I guess we can make as good a meal as we need to, out here." Cecelia, having no other resource, assisted her beau in his practi cal protest against hotel extortions, and swallowed her frugal lunch with the best grace she could command. After the exam ination was over, they drove home. There was a toll gate on the way, and as they came Clear it, her prudent lover turned - to her and said : "Cecelia, you know we mayn't he mar ried :cater all, and as I paid the toll one way, I don't consider it no more than fairthat you should pay it the other." The poor girl paid the toll but she never allo*ed him to pay her his addresses again. - It is a. E'So o d thing for a young man to be 'knocked about in the world,' though his kind hearted parents may not think so. All youths, or if not all, nineteen-twentieths of the sum total, enter life with a surplusage of self-conceit. The sooner they are relieved of it the better. If measuring themselves with wiser and older men than themselves, they discover that it is unwarranted, and get rid of it gracefully, of their own accord, well and good ; if not, it is desirable for their own sakes that it be knocked out of them. A boy who is sent to a large school soon finds his ' His will may have been par amount at home ; but school boys are demo-' cratic in their ideas, and arrogance is sure to be thrust into a recognition of the golden rule. The world. is a great public school, and it soon teaches a new pupil his proper place. If be has the attributes that belong •to h leader, he will be installed in the posi tion of a leader ; if not, whatever his own opinion of his abilities, he will be compelled to tall in with the rank and file, If not des tined to greatness, the next best thing to which he,can aspire is respectability; but no man can be truly great or truly respectable who is vain, pompous and overbearing. .By the time the novice has found his legit imate social position, be the same high or low, the probability is that the disagreeable traits of his character will be softened down or worn away. -Most' likely the process of abrasion will be rough, perhaps very rough ; but when it is all over, and he begins to see himself as others see him, and not - as reflect ed in tlfe mirror of self-conceit, he will be thankful that he has • run the gauntlet, and arrived though by a rough road, at self knowledge. Upon the whole, whatever loving mothers may think to the contrary, it is a good thing for youths to be knocked about in the world, —it makes men of them. ABOUT 'flIE OYSTER.—The oyster when spawning does not east its eggs like other fish, but dissolves, as it were, a part of its own body, which passes off in long slender threads as fine as a spider's web, upon which_ arc congregated millions of little eggs, not visible to the naked eye, but whiel4when. put under a powerful magnifying glass, as= - tonish the beholder by their numbers. It iS e'timated that about seventy per cent. of tide spawn is destroyed by fish, and about ten pee cent. front other causes, leaving twenty per raft. to find their way into market. these little "seed" cling to whatever they touch, generally to old oysters, and the many MUG shells one often sires clinging to large oystell are - but the growth of these seed.
