Falconer sighed, and his brow con
tracted with pain, as he looked alter
her. •
'Poor cluldl It is so hard to refuse
her anything.'
He was a pale young man, with a
thoughtful cast of countenance and
earnest gray eyes, habitually reserved
and prudent, he was accounted a
sharp boldness man, and at the time of
his marriage, two years previous; the
old men predicted that he would event
tudly beoome one of the largest capital-
fats in B. His wife, _a wilful, pretty
creature+, seemed to be his one weak
point. 'Nor was the slow to avail her
self of the advantage; her influence
over him was unbounded, and even in
cases where it was against his" better
judgment be invariably yielded to her
wishes. The present object of these
last named was a garnet silk dress pat
tern, which she had that morning , seen
at o—'a fashionable store; and poor
Falconer's ears were still ringing with
the minute description of its incompar
able loveliness.. -
'lt seems so cruel to deny her what
she has set her heart on,' he add, laying
down his pen, and rising, he took one
or two turns across the room. The re
sult of his reflection was, that he put
on his hat; went straight to Vs, order
ed the silk, and had it charged to his
account.

saying that she would be with them by

decidedly. if •
•Savager cried Lon, beginning to
pout. " •
'This is unreasonable and childish!'
exclaimed her• husband impatiently
pushing back his chair. He! lied some
perplexing - busienas on his - mind and
was in no mood for trifling. But Lou
burstinto tears.
'Hang it all!' cried Edward, and tak
ing his bat he left the house. He had
not gone two squares, however, before
'his resolution tailed him,' and hurrying
to, the nearest bank; he hastily. drew a

and kissed her, at the sane time plac

'More than sufficient!' 'she exclaimed
delightedly, separating the roll of bank

get you a perfect duck of a _dressing

Falconer began to protest that he
stood in need of neither dressing
gown nor slippers, but - a reproachful
glance ifrom Lon's eyes arrested his
words, 'Not when lam going to make
them With my own little fingers?' she
• said, and Edward was subdued instant
ly.
The following week' Lon's mother,
Mrs. Toirnsend, arrived, and was affect
inately welcomed by her daughter and
eon-in-law. She was a thoroughly sen
sible woman, with a' deal of penetra
tion, that seemed to divine things at a
glance, and was an acquisition to any
household,
'Don't you think, Lon,' she said to
her daughter one day, when the latter
bad, in her usual coaxing, half-pouting
style, been' urging Edward to some
fresh . eitravagencei 'that you may push
your importunities just too far? Mr.
Falconer looks very much perplexed
and worried to -day, I think.'
'Oh, Edward is the dearest, most
amiable of men.''
'Yes, Lou, but for the very reason
that your husband is amiable and in
dulgent to a fault,"youshould be merci
ful and not press him too
.far. Now . I
consider that baby's cloak which you
coaxed him into getting for Eddie quite
an unnecessary, piece of extravagance.
Now take my advice, and be a little
more reasonable in your deniands.'
Mrs. Falconer knew better than to
pont at her mOther, and resolved not to
ask her husband for anything in her
presenoe again; but no sooner was Mrs.
Townsend gone than the old practice
was renewed. Too much occupied wtih
her own selfish little aims, she did not
notice that her husband's manner , was
often strangely flurried; there was a
recklessness in his very tenderness; he
refused her nothing that she asked for,
and the little lady-availed herseit to the
very utmost' of his propitious disposi
tion.
,Oh. Edward,' she' aid to him one
day, acrthey sat tohether over their des
sert, 'the chanty La comes off nest
Wednesday, and I have t been made one
of the lady patronesses. I must have
a pretty dress for the occasion.'
'Order what you will,' he said, lacon
ically, as he rose and left the table.
The evening , of the ball Lou was dis
appointed that her husband did not
come home in time to see her dressed,
but she Could not keep her :party wait
ing, and was obliged to go ,off without

Half si hour later Falconer came
- home. He inquired of the housemaid,
who had been roused from - a nap by the
violent jerking l of the parlor bell, if her
mistress had gone out; and sleepy as
the girl was, she was starteled (as she

THE WOMAN WHO SHOT AT . ARNOLD.-

'Called by the recent death of Mrs. Ann
Hinman Kellog, of Fairfield, aged
ninety-two years. She was the daugh
ter of. Captain Elisha Hinman, of the
United States navy. and her mother
was the only American who remained
in New London when the town was
burned y Benedict Arnold, in 1781.
The latter knew Mrs. Hinman, and
when he saw her on her doorstep as he
entered the town, he sainted her and
offered to save her property, if she
would' point it out. She indicated
several neighbor's houses as well as her
own, and they were not burned. The
sacking of the town, the capture of
Fort Griswold and the massacre° , of
Colonel Ledyard and his soldiers fold
lowed, incensing Mrs. Hinmanso great
ly that she decended from her house
top, from which she had withessed these
outrages, and taking a musket from a a
closet she leveled it at Arnold, as he sat
on his horse in front Of the house.
With a long and deliberate gni . , she
pulled the trigger, but the piece missed
fire. Hearing the snap of the lock,
Arnold turned and asked what the noise
( was, but with great presence of mind,
ishe dropped the gun out of sight,. and
Said it was the breaking of a chair.
Miss Juliet Carson prepared a fish
dinner for some New Yorkers the other
day, but her art did - not soothe the
savage breast enough to prevent the
diners from telling stories after their ,
meal. One gentleman said he caught
in six hours eight hundred trout; another
said that last summer; off Fire Island,
he took in a bluefish that weighed 150
pounds; and a third, who didn't look
like a confirmed liar, remarked that
while ,fishing for bass , near Nantucket
some time ago, eight bass got on his
line at one time, and pulled so bard that
that he had to get a horse to help him
haul in. These three fishermen turned
to a fourth, who had sat quietly during
the story telling, and one said: 'Per
haps you, don't believe us—perhaps
these stories don't interest you?' , . 'Oh,
yes they do,'said the quiet little man,
for I'm something of a liar myself.'"—

HOW TO USE A WA.TOII.-A watch
maker of many years experience offers
the following suggestions as to the use
and treatment of watches: First, only
open the watch when necessary; 2d, de
out let it stop, better keep it running
right along; Bd, if you carry it in the
pocket, let the pendant ring be upright,
4th; when you hang it up - on the wall,
let it rest upon some soft surface; sth,
never allow it to, lie on bare marble
or any hard surface; 6th, when lying
down always have the lace up, and the
pennant ring turned " under so as to
keep the upper part more elevSed; 7tb,
let your key be a perfect" fit and free
from dust; Btb, have regular hours for
winding, when winding hold your
watch steady in Yotii left band, and
turn the key firmly 'and evenly with
your right; 9tb, avoid all jerks in wind
ing; 10th, set the bands of your watch
With a key and not any other way; you
can turn the hands backward or for
ward without injury it yon do not turn
too hard; and 11th, if your, watch goes
too fast move the regulator a little
towards'the "slow," etc. .

this day two weeks. To each ticket is
attached a coupon, that will admit the
bearer to the hall., I desire your at

each of my remarks as have evidently

door and no one was there with the
tickets it slowly dawned upon them that
Ward was laughing at them.
