.A Rimy Sketch for the Ladies.
3Ers. "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

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.

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,

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

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 ;

'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

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

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.
