my boy was at that age, the clear look of the
large, round eyes, that scorned to mirror hea

reneged that most interesting period, so rich
with lessons worth rending.
We live in the country, and our neighbor
hood is measured by miles, not "blocks."—
One winter evening, not long ago, while the
family were, as usual, gathered around the
centre tible, a neighbor drove up, and enter
ing, soon with hearty friendliness, had Kitty
on his knee. " Come, Kitty," said he, "won't
you go home end live with me ?" The child
looked up in his face ; the golden purls fell
backward-to her shoulders ; and her deep blue
eyes met his as she. answered.

far-off world where angels only dwelt. A
shadow—no, bat a shadow, but n sober bright
ness as of something profound and holy, was
cast over the meditative mood of the dwellers
in 'this house ;' nlld every heart within it
swelled with gratitude for the great God's
gift.
Kitty still calls my daily trip reto town •' go

The other dry, she was sitting alone with me
in the library, and, ns usual, on my knee, when,
after a moment's reflection, she threw the
brightness of her blue eyes into mine, and
said : "Do you ever get Limo to say yourpray
ers down-town, papa?" " Heaven bless thee,
child! No! no! Too little time is taken in
the turmoil of down-town' for breathing n
prayer to heaven for its kssings on' our
work !"
Not long since, I waS C a'n a visit to a sister,

I was soon among thorn. It who one of those
gorgeous autumnal mornings which some
times kiss the fadifig-brow- of -October:- As
descended to the parlor, " How do you,do ,
uncle ?" was the united cry; when a dear lit
tle girl, of four smiling summers, caught me
by the hand, and hanging fondly thereby,
raised her bright eyes, and, with a half tear
ful expression, sold '' Icm so sorry, uncle,
' that you staid so long in your room ir "Why,
my dear !" said I. ".0 dear it's nil gone

A friend told me the following as having oc
curred tinder her own eye; and well does it
illustrate that false dignity- Which is too often
assumed by those who wear the vesture of the

the corner of the room, the mother diligently
engaged in sewing. She rises to meet "the
minister," end salutes him, while he, with lofty,
cold, repahave dignity, says; "(food morn

as dignifiedly takes his seat. After-a few mo

unfamiliar manner: "I trust; madam, that

" Thank you, sir, quite well." A brief pause.

passed away some fifteen minutes ; the chil

each other, and inquiringly at the mother.—
Rising to depart, with the same unrolaxind

From Godey's Lady's Book.
TULE FIRST QUARREL.
IMNEEEMIE!
" They never loved as Ilion and I,
%VI., vindicate the morel—
That alight which sweetens love can lie
In tine hive's itritiiisi quarrel."
"It is certainly very disagreeable to love
-another so much."
This original remark was uttered as a stage
soliloquy, the little dressing or sitting room
having no other occupant than the very pretty
woman who laid down her habit with a yawn,
alatrt, top a tidy crotchet, lazily netting a
few sti hes. To one who had never suffered
froni this excess of idolatry it might be con
sidered rather a singular complaint ; but the
caseatdod thus: Flora, Hastings . had been a
wife the very long time of three months and a
half. Her wardrobe and house being in com
',plat, order, her husband very Much nt leisure
business and with ample means, they had
found nothing better to do"than the modern
andnery selfish occupation of " living for
each other." That is, they- had declined nil
Party invitations after the first gloss of the
bridal dress was dimmed, and, when seen at
mil in public, were always together, she lean
ihg upon his nrm.with.an enviable air ,of self:
satisfaction, looking up into his foes with a
most adoring glance whenever he chanced to
speak, and he in turn bending .down to catch
her most trivial remark with a devotion' that
would have become a ,:tusli engaged lover. IS
at li : concert, he fanned her, he supported her
opera glass, he carried her hood and shawl.
But even music, in which they both professed
tudien.mateurs,dseemed to have lost its accus
tamed charm, and they were certain to leave
at the end of part first, no metier what were
the attractions of the bill to less absorbed
spectators. •-•
In sDort, everybody said—and everybody,
when turned gossip, is not over civil or com
plimentary - oftentimes=that " they "were ma
king fools of themselves, and it could not last
frever." Sonic people are so envious of any
thing in which they do not share!
They did not live in the city in the summer
season, but at Mr. Hastings's little country
house-large enough,,however,-to-be-thorough—
ly comfortable, and well fitted, hod
.with a
head servant who never bothered her mistress
by asking instructions, which were sure to be
comprehended in one senteii'ce, "You know
best, Margaret." So they lived on idle, fond,
nnd,.ns they imagined, a perfectly happy life,
with tloWors which the gardener cultivated,
little music, and the new books of the season.
They did not invite any company to Brookside;
they did not wish any. Mr. Hastings rode to
town between nine and ten, returning by
three, and from that time they were constantly
together, reading, walking, or, driving in the
low carriage, ono of their lute acquisitions.
At first, they thought it delightful to sit to
gether on the'veranda, My, Hastings enjoying
his after dinner cigar and the newspaper,
Flora with the last new novel and an exquisite
silver paper cutter, that had been ono of the
engagement pres'ents. -.But they did not get
on very well, there was so much talking to do
between times, and at last they conceived the
happy idea of rending aloud. Four whole
days this had been considered the height of
enjoyment. They, scarcely tasted the dessert,
so anxious were they to resume the thread of
Vie story. Then the sowing chair' and the
work basks; table,toolc their place outside the
casement window, and .I,'lora, with the prettiest
and. Most becoming air of industry, listened
to Mr. Hastings, who 'sat with his feet sup
ported at a considerable angle on the trellis
of the porch, his chair artistically balanced.
'and hie head adorned by a broad leaved straw
hat ; 'not because ho needed it, but Flora con
sideredit particularly becoming •to his dark,
Spanish, melo-dramotio style of face and fig
-uro.
Anti then those little episodes of comment
end criticism, thd hero antr herciL o being in
all judged and tested by their individual
experience, and pronounced wanting, if the
scales were not poised to the most minute
equality.
"A quarrel!, My dear Alfred, hOw (mutiny'
*Oman' spank' unkindly to her husband? 1
should ho ready' to bite my tongue MT, if I
could ho guilty of it to you."
"My precious lovo Would never think of

not such angelic ternperii, doorest."- -
" And then Somo men are so provoking ; not
in the least liko my Alfred. flow did it over,
ever. happin you could carofor me?"
Considering Miss Flora Willis Was tho prof•
Host, most admired, and wealthiest young lady
of Mr. liastinga's aoglinintance, it was rather
singular.
• " Angell" It was well the thialtot of sweet

heavenly epithet was empluthistid with a most
enraptured kiss, °q;":. '

the precision of country tombstone or obitu
ary notice. "Fifteen weeks to-morrow since
I was made so very, very happy."
"And we love each other as dearly as over.
How strange !"
",Yes, more dearly. Very. And theytold
us we should change ?" ;
dueh sarcastic repudiation of the:charge no
was conveyed in that tonejuurglanee I •They'
would have been withered by it, .even the
blossoms of the sweetbrier shook and trem
bled.
" You could not bo unkind to your poor
little Flora?"
"Never, my own darling t And she would
not givti her husband"—
" Novet;—never—neverl"
The reader is to supPoso the blaulp
by an.".lEolian harp and the 000 r af a wood
pigeon. And so the poor book fell to Um.
floor; and then it was too dark to see. A
walk was proposed through the shaded lanes;
and, when they returned, Flora wie too weary
to listen. T'ho love quarrel in the 'tale was
left without denouement. Our actual lovers
were so happy that they could afkird to linger
over it,
, So it happened that the young Wife was-re
duced to the occupations, before described,
this wawa summer afternoon. :Her watch,
ag dn and again consulted;wits:held for at
least three quarters of an hour in ;her hand,
the moments creeping by, and still Alfred had
', not come. She went out on the itcyantla and
peered through the thickets of Shrullbery ;
but there was no sign of either horso or rider ;
• and, while she-stood there disconsolately, she
saw the book half hidden by the " Home Oa•
I zette," just as it had been dropped the night
before. " What could keep Alfred so long.?"
They might have read several chafitershofore
I dinner, and found out how the__quarrel was
made up. But the book must not lie - there;
' and, as she stooped to raise it; the leaves
• whirled over, opening most inviting - 11 to chap

_She could not roost reading
on a few pages, still leaning overlhe railing
of the veranda, anal then, more absorbed, sat
dowh in the little sewing' chair, aid flethed
the exciting scene. She did not feColleet until

"It was full an hour beyond the usual time.'
What could have happe;ed? Thal horse, she'
was sure he was not to be trusted, and going
-so near the railroad especially. Oh, how
dreadful it would be if ho were brought holm
dead, or very muc% injured! How horrible
to watch him suffer pain! And then he was
obliged to go down to those dreadful wharves.
Oh, if he was anything but a shipping mer

certainly go to town in the evening train in

self driving about in fearful linyte, in a vl
desolate looking drab,. so infinite!) , wretched
that the tears came into her eyes at the very
thought--
Imagine her joy, then, ajlie sound of hor
ses' feet, just as this frantic resolution {vas
taken, and she liew'down to the gate to meet
Alfred Sat ae he diStuouuted to open it, re
ceiving as a reward for all her nnxieties a

chidings for her unreasonable fears far Ho

She forgot to inquire fcir the headache.—

' plentiful dessert of strawberries and crests.
It was later than tWeirordinarrhour, so much
so that it was nearly dark by the time Alfred's
- cigar was finished. Flora thought be was 1
much longer than atonal in smoking, and. dis•
covered, with some impatience, that lie had
indulged himself in a second ; a rather unusual
, and selfish proceeding; She thought, consider
'
lug he was yo very .late, which; by the wily,
was not yet accounted for. The "auger had
managed to work herself into a slight nervous
fever, with the heat and afternoon's' restless
noes, It even eddied poesibld, for the instant,
that " the king could do wrong." However,
the pouting lip was kissed into its full round
, ncss again, as the U/10011VO1011g 'offender pro.

and lights. .
"Don't you think it rather too warm, dear.
not?" was the mild expostulated or
baud, 'as Flora prepared to make his knee her

Not a word was uttered in reply but one

quiet and calm as if never disturbed by an
angry or fretful emotion. Ono thought trout

She woke from nn unhappy dream with a

at first. But the rooms were quite dark, and
there was no sound but the monotonous ticking
of the watch under her pillow: A rush of

Although the appetite mitt' tire,of other things,
on this substantial ground it makes a stand.—
It must be trained to Al 6 liking of a far fetch

universal, and never 'palls. You cannot eat
it to a surfeit, or ever return to it With disgust.

Brromour yvtimr. DROWNING
Ono of the most sirigultir features in Pyseho
logy is the feet which is perfectly notorious;
that the faculty of memory acquires an actin
ity and tenacity in the ease of persons about
being.drowned, which it never exhibits under
ordinary circumstances. An accident occurred
some 'weeks ago, at New York, which throw-a
number of persons into the North Iliver.
Among others was Mr. and his sister,
the / find, named, editor of a weekly paper in
Philadelphia. They were both finally saved.
Mr. describes the sensation while under
water, and in a drowning, condition," to ho
pleasant and peculiar. It seemed to' him that
every event of his life crowded in his mind at,
once. lii3 was sensible of what was occurring,
and expected to drown, but seemed only to
regret; that such an interesting item as his
sensation would make, should bo lost.
In noticing his statement in an exchange, I
am reminded of an incident which, dissimilar
as it is to the ono just narrated, in its general
features, had the eamo remarkable awakening
of the memory, which such cases sometimes
exhibit. I can vouch for the truth of what
follows, as well as testify to vivid reflections
in my own ease, when exposed to the hazards
of drowning, reproduced in a few minutes i ihe
entire events of all my pest
Some Years ago A held a bond of B for sev
eral hundred dollars, having some time to run.
At its maturity ho found that ho had put it
away so carefully that ho was unable to find
it. , Every search was fruitless. Ile only
knew that it had not been paid or traded away.
In this dilemma he called on B.;-relating the
circumstances of its disappearance, and pro
posed giving him a-receipt as an offset to the
bond, or rather nn indemnifying bond against
its colleetion if ever found. •
To his great surprise, B not only refused to
accept the terms of meeting the difficulty, but
pesitively denied owing him anything, and
strongly intimated the presence of a fraudulent
design on the part of A. Without legal proof,
and therefore without redress, he. had to on:
duro both the loss of the money, and the sus
picion of a dishonest intention in urging the
claim.
,Several years passed away without
any change in the nature of the case, or ita
facts; As above, given, when one afternoon,/
while bathing in Tames River, A, either froia
inability to swim, or cramp; or some oilier
cause, woe discovered to' be drowning. He
had sunk and risen several times, and wee
floating away under the water, when he was
•seized. and drawn to the ,shore. The' usual
remedies were appltetlpto resuscitate him, and
although,thdro vversejgrg of life, there were'
no • sigps of consciousness. lie watt.' taken
home in a state of complete ahausticni, and
remained so for saMe
There is no doubt that this remarkable
quickening of memory results from the pro
cess which in such, case is going on—the ex
tinguielmient of life. his somewhat analogous
to the breaking in of the light of another
world, which in so many well attested cases
of death-bed scones, enabling the departing
spirit, oven before it has left its clay tenement,
to behold and exult in the glories of a future
state. Is it not a fair inference, that when
the soul shakos off the clogs and incumbrances
of the body, it will possess capacities for en
joyment of which on earth it we's unsuscopti
ble.
AB regards the memory, it will be observed
by most persons, how readily in life we forget
that which wo do not desire to remember, and
in this way we get rid of much unhappineis.
Can wo do this after death ? This is an im
portant practical question.--Cises Advertiser
THE WAY OP THE WORLD
"lie's dead!" How frequently is that brief
but admonitory sentence uttered without ex
citing any but the most transient emotion—
without awakening a deeper or more perma
nent reflection than the - next passing thought
will entirely obliterate from the mind ! "Two
friends shall casually meet after a temporary
separation, and inquire after a thit:d and mu
tual friend. " He's dead!" is the melancholy
and impressive rejoinder. If men of business,
perhaps he was one who entored.largely into
their speculations—all their 'projects for. the
-advancement of their fortunes—all their
worldly-minded schemes of aggrandicoment
yet "he's dead." The intelligence is received
with arwelamation of surprise—a significant
shako of the head, a sensation nearly allied to,
pity and regret; but it is not hoard "as if an
angel spoke," and as time passes they hurry ,
on without further oolumont to their reSpeativei
