THE HEAVY BURDEN 'luitluT a heavy burden, isn't it, mv U.yl" t lareiuv Sptiu-cr, to whom the wor.ls bail Ui'ti aiblrcisetl, turui-d from the ledger, anil liioked tnwanLs the speaker. Clarence w as a younj; nun not more than five and twenty and he was lxik-kecjcT to Mr. Silt inn n Wardle, a pleasant -fare, keen eyed man of fifty, who had sixiken. "A heavy burden, isn't Clarence t" the niercliuiit repeated. Aud still the young man was silent. His looks indicated that he did not compre hcud. He had Ijcen for sonic time liendinjr over the ledjier, with his thoughts faraway; aud that his thoughts were not pleasant ones, was evident enough from the gloom on his handsome face. "My dear boy, the burden is not ouly heavy now, but it will grow heavier and heavier the longer you carry it." 'Mr. AVardle, I do not comprehend you." "Ah. C::uxuce:- "I certainly no not. ''Didn't I call at your house for you this morning i"' Clarenc-e nodded assent. "And didn't I see and hear enough to re veal to me the burden that you took with you whenyouleftf You must remember, my lioy, that I am older than you arc, and that I have been through the niiiL. You find your burden heavy ; find I've no doubt that Sarah's, heart is as heavily laden as your own." Aud then Clarence Spencer midersbiod ; and the morning's scene was present with liiin, us it had leen present with l.iin since leaving home. n that morning he had a dispute w ith his wife. It had occurred at the breakfast table. There is no need of reproducing the scene. Snflicc it to say that it had come of a mere nothing, and had grown a cause of anger. The first had !een a look and a tone; then a flash of im patience ; then a rising of the voice : then another look; the voice grew higher; the reason was unhinged ; passion gained sway and the twain lost sight of the warm, en during lovo that lay smitten and aching down deep in their hearts, and felt for the time only the passing tornado. And Clar ence rememliered that Mr. AVardle had en tered the, house and caught a sight of the storm. And Clarence Sjenccr thought of one thing more; bethought how miserably un happy he had lieen all the morning ; anil he knew not how long his burden of uuhan piuess was to be borne. "Honestly, Clarence, isn t it a heavy anil thankless burden ?" The book-keeper knew that his employer was his friend, and that he was a true-heart ed Christian man ; anil, after pause, he an swered : "Yes. Mr. Wardle, it is a heavy burden. "My lny, I am going to venture upon a bit of fatherly counsel. I hope I siiall not offend." "Xot at all,"' said Clarence. lie w inced a little, as though the probing gave him new pain. "In the first place, pursued the old man, r :..: i,;. v.itr-A viii Wllu a fiuiver 01 emotion i j love 3-our wife?'' "Love herf Yes, passional ely." "And do you think sho loves you in re turn !" "I don't think anything aliout it 1 .now!" "You .low she loves you ? "Yes."' Then vou must admit tbat the trouble of this morning came from no ill-feeling at heart 8" "Of course not." "It was but a surfacc-soua!!, which you, at least, are very sorry V A moment's hesitation, and then 1 . yes; I am heartily sorry. "Now mark me, Clarence, an.l answer honestly : Don't you think your wife is as sorry as you are ?' '1 cannot doubt it." "And don't you think she is suffering all this time I" "Yes." "Very well. Let that pass. You know she is bearing her part of the burden f "' "Yes, I know that." "And now, my loy, do you comprehend where the heaviest part of this burden is lodged?" . , , Clarence looked upon his intcnocutor wonderingly. , "If the storm had all blown over, and you knew that the sun would shine when you next entered your home, you would n feel so unhappy!"' Clarence assented. "But," continued Mr. Wardle, "j'our fear that there wiU be gloom in your home when you return I" . . The young man bowed h.s head as he re plied in the affirmative. "U.-causc," the merchant added, with a touch of parental sternness in his tone, you are resolved to carry it there !" Clarence looked up in surprise. "I I carry it ?" "Aye; you have the burden in your heart, and you mean to carry it home. Ite mcniiier, my lx.y, I have leo there, and I Know all aliout it. I have been very foolish in my lifetime, and I have suffered. I suf fered until I discovered my folly, aud then I resolved that I would suffer no more. I'pon lixiking the nmtter squarely and honestly in the face, I found that the bur dens which had so galled me had been self imposctl. Of course such burdens can be thrown olf. Now you have resolved tliat you will go home to dinner with a heavy heart and a dark face. You have no hope lliat your wife will meet you with a smile. Aud why? ttccuuse you know that she has no particular cause for smiling. You know that her heart is burdened w ith the atilietion which gives you so much unrest. And you are fully assured that you are to find your home shrouded in gloom. And, furthermore, you don't know when that gloom will depart and wl.cn the blessed sun-shine of love w ill burst in again. And why don't you know ? llccause it is not uow in your heart to sweep tin-cloud away. Vou say to yourself, 'I can bear it as lonr as she can!" Am I not right r" Clarence did no! answer in words. "I know I am right," pursued the mer cliaut ; "aud very likely yur wife is saying to herself the same thing. So you hope of sunshine docs uot rest upon the willingness to forgive, but u;on the inability to bear the burden, ily-aud-by it will hapjien, as it lias happened lx-fore, that one of the twain will surrender from exhaustion; and it will be likely to be the weakei party. Then there w ill bo a collapse-, and a recon ciliation, (lencrally the wife fails first be neath the galling burden, liecau'c her love is keenest and most sensitive. The htis batnl, in such case, acts the part of a cow ariL When he might, with a breath, blow the cloud away, the cringes and cowers un til his w ife is surcvd to let the sun-light iu through her breaking heart." Clarence listened, ana was troubled. He saw the truth, felt its weight. He was not a fool, nor was he aliar. During the si'euce that followed he reflected ujHin the past, anil he called to his mind scenes just as Mr. Wardle had depicted. And this brought him to the remembrance of how he had seen his wife weep w hen she had failed and sank lienea'.h the heavy burden. Low often she had sobbed upon his bosom in grief for the emir The merchant r.ad the young man's thoughts, and after a time he rose and touched him upon the arm. "Clarence, suppose you were to put on your hat and go home now. Suppose you should think, on your way, ouly of the love and blessing that might be ; with this thought, you should enter youraliodc with a smile ujion your face ; and you should put your arms around your wife's neck, and kiss her, anil softly say to her, "My darling, I have come home to throw down the bur den I took away with mc this morning. It is greater than I can iK-ar." Suppose you were to do this, would your w ifo repulse you ?" 'Uepuise mc ?" "All, my boy, you echo my words with an amazement which shows that you un derstand me. Now, sir, have you the cour age to try the experiment !"' Dare you to be fo much of a man ? Or do you fear to let your dear wife know how much you lovelier? Do you fear she would respect and esteem you less for the deed ? Tell mc do you think the cloud of unhappiness might thus be banished I Oh, Clarence, if you would but try it"' Sarah Spencer had finished her work in the kitchen, and in the licd-ehambcr, and sat down with h t work iu her lap. Hut she could not ply her needle. Her heart was heavy and saiL and tears were in her eyes. Presently she heard the front door open, and a step in the passage. Certainly she knew that step ! Ves her husband enter ed and a smile upon his face. She saw it through her gathering tears, and her heavy heart leaped up. He came and put his arms around her neck, and kissed her; and he said to her, in broken accents, "Darling, I have come home to throw down the bur den I tix.k away w ith mc tlus morning. It is greater than I can lcar. I And she, trying to speak, pillowed her head upon his bosom aud sobbed and wept like a child. Oh! could he forgive Herf His coinicg w ith the blessed" offering had thrown tho burden of reproach back upon himself, ''lie saw ,l'm n,,l,,e aml S'ucrous and she worshiped him. liut Clarence would not nllow her to take all the blame, lie must share that. "Wc will share it so evenly," said he, "that its weight shall Ik- felt no more. And now my darling we will le happy!" "Always!" Mr. Wardle had no iicetl, when (larence returned to the counting-house, to ask Ihc result. He could read it iu the young man's brimming eyes, and in tho joy-inspired fiice. It was a year after this and Clarence Spencer had U-coine a partner in the house that Mr. Wardle, by a ident, referred to the events of that gloomy morning. "Ah !" said Clarence, with a swelling bo som, "that was tiic most blessed lesson I ever received My wife knows who gave it to me." "And it serves you yet, my hoy ?" "Ave, and it will servo us while we live. Wc have none of those old burdens of an er to bear now. They cannot find lodg ment w ith us. The flash aud jar may come as in the other days for wc are human, you know but the heart, which has firmly resolved not to give an abiding place to the ill feeling, w ill not I called upon to enter tain it.

The proprietor of a store on W street was looking out upou tlu raiu-be-drizzled streets and figuring that he wouldn't make a cent during the whole afternoon, when a hard-tip look ing stranger wet to the hide, walked softly iu and took a seat in a ch:ilr. "Anything to day?" asked the mer chant. The answer was a loucsom c shake of the head. "I'al weather to day." Another weary shake replied". After five minutes of silence, the stranger got up and begun walking the store. The trap door Ivading to tho basement was up, and iu one of his turns be went down out ot sight like a bag of shot. The merchant called out when it was too late an 1 he ran to tho trap and peered down the dark stairs with the expect iou of seeing a corpse ou the cellar bottom. Instead of that the strange man appeared on the stairs aud ascended without help. Ho was covered with dust from he:-d to foot and his coat split up the back, and the merchant hastened to say : "I am very sorry. Indeed. I forgot the trap are you much hurt?" "My friend," repiied the stranger ;is he turned around and extended his hand, "vou have been the means of saving me! Shake hands with me!" The merchant thought tiic tall had made a lunatic, but lie shook and the mail went ou : "Five minutes ago I was half drunk and desperate. I had about made up my iiiiiul to murder some one and then jump into the river. That fall has given me new and better ideas. From this hour I am a new man, with a better life before me! Shake again !" "Ah yes very strange," stammer ed the merchant as he shook, and the stranger said as he sbod in the door : i 'J thank you f rom the bottom of my j heart for leaving that trap open ! Wife j and children shall bless your uame and ! I can never forget you ! Good-bye, sir : ten thousand blessings Heaven keep you in its care ! j The merchant puzzled over the cae j for a long time and then went down; the cellar and found evidences that the I stranger had coolly jumped down there ! rolled in the dust, aud during the brief j moment secured about his person four j I dozen pocket knives and a pack a go of i of gloves. Then there was another ; j "shake," I i j First Look In a Mirror. 1 j The effect w hich tiie sudden seeing ' of themselves as other see them had I ujkiii several Siamese women Is nar- j I rated by a lady : A few weeks ago, I i a couple of Siamese women came to see and to look at my house. They con-j isider it a great treat to look at my ; house. They consider it a greater treat j I if I invite them then through my i i rooms, and let them look at my bed, .; ! my table, my chairs, my pictures and ; j my nick-nacks, and especially if they j 'can get a look at themselves in the. mirror ou my bureau. One or two of. ; thoso w iio came had been there before, j and they were telling of how they j ; looked in the lass till the others were , ' all anxious to see too, so they gathered ', i iu a crowd and stood before the mirror, j ! One quick look, aud then a surprised, jtartled cry, and some ot them hid I 'their faces, others jumped away, and j some looked about to see who was; i reaily there.

A Silcht Mistake. j A man ordered a most clalioratc dinner at ! a restaurant which he enjoyed and praised j much after which he lighted a cigar, and I sauntering up to the landlord, declared Ins inability to pay font. "lint I don't kr know you," said Boniface. "Of course, or you would not have given mo a dinner." The enraged man seized tlie pistol, col lared the offender, and taking aim at his heart, said : "Now, see if you get away from me without paying for that dinner." "What is that in your hand ?" gasped the impecunious customer, drawing buck. "That, sir, is a pistoL" "Oh! that's a pistol, is it ? I don't care a fig for a pistol ; I thought it was a stomach-pump." Ferrets are the great resort of afflict ed farmers ia Knglaud. Some men make a regular business 2'"K round with them and giving rat infested houses a "run" iu consl leration of the payment of a ten dollar bill. The fer rets are rather expensive creatures, costing about thirty dollars a pair. They arc so long and slim aud supple that they can almost tie their own bod ies iu a knot and be eruwlinj out of it agai:i at one end before the knot at the othur end is completed. A mc-litim-sized auger hole can be utilized by them v.-ith ease, the only trouble bein that the auger hole Is apt to be stralgt and the ferrets used toduubling up and arching their backs and going throngh all sorts of strange convulsions w ith their bodies as though to f-hovv oil' their graceful curves would feel quite lost in having to keep their straight natural position, even though for the space of one seeond. They arc never still a minute, except, perhaps, when they sleep, and then, like their nearest cousin the weasel, they are apt to sleep with their eyes open. Their life is one of continuous aud constant activity. When they aie not crawling into rat holes at the bidding of an inexorable master, they are at home in cages, where they run to and fro like penned up lions. Often the lerrct is ecen with scratches on his nose or lacerations ou the neck. These are the little remem brances of his cncounteis with his natural enemy, the rat. The rat will not light a ferret when lie can get away. The largest rat will run from them. They can smell them long be ore they can see thorn, and that Is the signal for them to fly or remain aud die a subterranean aud ignoble death. Young rats in nests are at the ferret mercy, aud the ferrets are not slow to show them such mercy as their craving stomachs ali'ord. They do uot cat the flesh. They Insert their teeth and, weazle-iikes suck all tlie blood out of their bo-lies, then leave them. This is the great point ferret men make over the modern style of getting rid of rats by poison. They cry down the ioisoii svnem and declare that by killing rats in that manner, life iu a house about which the rats perish is rendered al most intolerable by the stench their de caying carcasses create. I'.y killing them with ferrets this is avoided, they claii, fot the latter take all the blood from them aud the carcasses, instead of deccying, dry up. After all, the ferrets are doing more than Is generally expected of them when they kill grown rats. . Their principal use is to drive the vermin from their holes up to the light of day, w here St'otcli terriers and nets and clubs in the hands of the fer rets' masters do the rest. The Late Out-en ot Holland, Si.iuey Hyde gives the follow ing ac count ot his first visit to the late Otieen of Holland. I'pou our first formal audience we were received iu one ol the State Departments, a liny salon, hung with rose-colored satin and gay with gilded ltirniturc aud wax candles; but w hen w e were asked "to tea," it was in her own private parlor tiial the (Jaeeii entertained us, a charming great room, with tropical plants grow ing iu the windows, and a grand piano at one end. Books ami ornaments were scattered about, and cabinets of curiosi ties stood against the wall; easy-chairs aud little tables went wandering com fortably about the floor; and a general air of hsmc-likeness pervaded the spa cious apartment, whose walls were hung with interesting pictures, filled with associations to the student of his tory. One evening, when we arrived, we found the (Jaeen reading Kinglakc's "Invasion of the Crimea," in which she was greatly interested. His dra matic characterizations pleased her particularly, and above all the hits at her late uucle, Nicholas of Bussis, who as the writer obsorves, tried hard to be a gentleman; but underneath all his superficial polish still lay the "gypsy instinct," which prompted him on occasion to do some mean act. Inspired by our int'.TCst.theO.ueen drilt cd into various personal recollections of her visit to Napoleon III., and re lated a little anecdote of the Prince lmpurial when he was about six years old. It seems that the Emperor had a troop of boys of the Prince's age under drill, aud the Prince himself was one of the regiment; and one day, when the Queen was qucsioning him lightly as to what he meant todo ii. the world, he replied bravely, iu true Napoleonic fashion, "Madame, I shall be a sol dier." "But yon are so little," said her Maje-ty, "they cannot make you an of ficer; you will have tobs a private al ways." "Pardou, madame," said the little fellow, making a military salute, "je suis deja caporal." The Empress of the Frenoh Her Majesty thought a woman of excai'ent parts, but over whelmed with all sorts o! frivolties outside of herself. "There is so much to do," said ttie Oiccu naively, "I wonder how sho ever gets through it all. It was one tumult from morning till night. I could not have endured it." At Osborne, where she visited Queen Victoria, she was oppressed by the dullness aud formality. She thought the Queen of England a per son of extraordinary information, but the slavery of etiquette which sur rounded her was unendurable. From this very slavery it was the desire of the Queen of Courcanalo to deliver her self, and her own life was one of vig orous action and intelligent effort. She rose daily at seven ; walked, wrote, and read at fixed hours, corresponding with half the savants of Europe on matters of literary and scientific interest. She drew around her all the intellectual people of her court, accosting them without formality or pretension, inter rogating them, enjoying their different opinions, which she encouraged them frankly to express. She was a warm friend or the English ; her best friends were Englishwomen. She spoke the language with absolute perfection and without accent, and was the mistress of six other tongues. Our American war was a serious puzzle to her. She was as kind as possible In her sympathy, but still admitted openly that the breaking up of our Kepublie would be no cause of grief to the royal families in Europe. "You arc so strong," she said ruefully, and she shared tho com mon European delusion that the cause of the South wa3 the cause of aristoc i aey. The OM Fan oncd iSirl. She flourished thirty or forty years ago. Sho was a little Irl until she was fifteen. She used to help her mother wash the dishes and keep the kitchen tidy, and she ha I an ambition to make pies so nicely that papa could not tell the difference between them and mamma's, and yet she could try grindle t akes at ten years of age, aud darn her own stockings before she was twelve, to say nothing of knitting them herself. She bad her hours of play and en joyed herself to tho fullest extent. She had no very costly toys to be sure, but her rag doll aud little bureau and chair that Lucie Tom made were lust as valuable toiler as the $2) wax doll aud elegant doll furniture the children have now-a-days. She never said "1 can't," and "I don't want to,' to her mother, when asked to leave her play, and run up stairs or down or on an errand, be cause she had not been brought up iu that way. Obedience was a cardinal virtue in the old fa.-hioncd little girl. She rose In the morning when she was called, and went out into the garden and saw the dew on the grass, and if she lived iu the country she fed the chickens and hunted up the eggs for breakfast. We do not suppose she had her hair in curl papers or criuiping-pins, or bad it banged'' over her forehead and her flounces were no trouble to her. She learned to sew by making patch work, and we dare say she could do an "over-and-over" seam as well as nine tenths of the grown-up women now-a-days. The old-fashioned litle girl did not grow into a young lady airl taik about beaux bi fore she was in Ir.T teens, and j she did not read dime novels, aud was I not fancying a hero in every plow-boy j she met. j She learned the Solid accomplish-1 ments as she grew up.

The casualties of tlie year are imma terial and considerable less in numlicr and severity than those of the season of 1878. It appears from the returns that only 20 cows, 18 horses. 7 goats, 5 pigs, 82 small lioyg, and 23,720 peddlers of a new map of Palestine were cither killed or wounded during the season, and that in every in- stance the blame was with the animal hit, !

An anecdote of Moaro, the Irish poet, shows how much pains a writer who does good work will take to put the right word in the rl-rht place. Moore was on a visit to a literary friend in France, aud while there wrote a short poem. One day while the guest was engaged n his literary labor, the two took a stroll in the adjacent wood, and the host soon jcrceived that his companion was given up to his own thoughts; lie was silent and abstracted, noticing neither his friend and entertainer uor the surrounding beauties of tlie land scape. By-and-bv he began to gnaw tlie finger-tips ofhis glove, p'.illingand tw itch ing spasmodically, and when this had gone ou for a long time, his friend ven tured to ask him what was the trouble. "I'll tell you," said Moore. "1 have left at home upon my table a poem iu which is a w ord I do not like. Tlie line is perfect save that one word, aud that word is perfect save its inflection Thus it is," and he repeated the line and asked his friend if he could help him. It was a delicate oint. The friend saw the need, saw where and how the present word jarred just the slighesi possible bit upon thecxquUite harmony of the cadence; but he could uot sup ply the want.. The twain cudgeled their brains un til they reached the house on their re turn w itliout avail. Tho rest of the day was spent as usual as was the evening, save that ever anon Moore would sink into silent fits iu put suit ol the absent word. And so came ou the night, and the poet went to bed in a deep study. The following morning was bright and beautiful, and Moore came down from his chamber w ith a bounding step with a scrap of paper iu his hand, and a glorious light in his genial counte nance. The word had come to him ! He was awakened during the night, and the kind genius ol inspiration had visited ilia pillow, aud he had got up and torn a scrap from his note-book, and at the wi.idovv, by the light of the moon, had made the thought secure. "There," he said, when he had incor porated it into the text; "there it is only a simple, single w ord, a w ord as common as a. b. c, and yet it cost me twelve hours of unflagging labor to find it ami put it w here it is.

Notwithstand ng the accuracy ot the imitation, means exist of detecti-ig the false from the true. Genuine amber requires a heat of from 2v deg. to.Wdeg. Ccntig. (313 deg. to 530 deg. Fahrenheit) to melt it, while the spurious subsiane-e becomes liquid at a much lower tem perature. Moreover, while the real article is only slightly attacked after a very long time by ether and alcohol, the imitation rapidly loses its ioli-h iu contact with these liquids, and soon be comes soft. With numerous small pieces of true amber, a lump of much greater value can be formed. All that has been done is to moisten the surfaces to be united with caustic pot ish, and press them together while warm, when they present a transparent or homoge neous mass. A Dutiful nusband. There is at Moscow, a blacksmith, I named Joruar, who married a Bus.Man what proofs she desired. Hor reply was, "You have never beaten me!' "Keaily," said the husband, "I did not know that blows were proofs of love; how-over. I will not i-tcn fail in hi respect." And so not long after he beat her most cruelly, and confessed to me that after that process his wifa showed him much greater affection, So he repeated the exercise frequently ; and finally, w hile I was still at Mo, cow, cut off her head and her legs.
