A vital baeath of more otherial air.

Throws o'er the sea a fleeting bridge of light,
Across whose trembling links our fnnoies crowd

So from the world of spirits there descends
A bridge or light, cot fleeting it with this,
O'er whose unsteady floor, that sways and

=EI
No wonder poor Mrs. Dekker longed for the
wings of a dove, if they could bear her to any
thing like rest. It was Monday—washing-day
—and blue Monday into the bargain. Thu
parlor was in disorder (the Bunkers always
sat in their parlor oh Sunday, and held it sa
cred the rest of the week) ; the front hall
tracked and, littered upwith the arrival of a
visitor's baggage—the spare room was not
ready—the clothes nut counted out—the girl
idling away her time at the pump—the break
fast dishes unwashed—and the baby scream
ing, no only a cross child can scream, in its
mother's arms, showing not the least symptom
of a morning nap, or, indeed; of anything but
colic.
Mrs. Bunker, as she sat in the midst of this
confusion, and expressed her desire to fly,
bore no resemblance whatever • to an angel—
except that angels are usually represented
with loose robes nnd unconfined hair. We
question if she had locked at a brush since the
day before, and her morning -dross was of the
style denominated " wrapper"—a not over
clean chintz. The room itself was cheerful
enough, 80 far 08 sunshine and comfortable
funiture would go; but, nothing was in. its
•platze ; and thiii dlitord'er, added to the forlorn
appearance of Mrs. Bunker, holding the baby
in its sour, crumpled night-dress and soiled
flannel, was anything but no inviting prospect
to a newly arrived guest.
Mrs. Bunker expected her every minute—
Aunt Loveyher husband's aunt, who had
- brought him up, and had given him till those
particular ways that were the bane of Mrs
Bunker's wedded life, she having very little
idea of' the necessity he attached to method
in managing a household. Mrs. Bunker; only
two years from school, had written very nice
letters to this friend of her husband's orphan•
oil childhood. She loved her Joshua, in spite
of his unsentimental name, and was inclined
to adopt all his family in hernffictionate lit
tle soul. Nor was it unhatural that she wish=
them to think well her in return; shoParticu-•
larly i esired to gain Ansa Lovey's good opit,
ion, stud when the long talked of visit was
decided wt, bad hoped to make a grand first
impression. If it hadn't been Monday morn
ing, and if baby liadn'tlieen_se_eross—if the
'spare room had,otily been cleared up after her
-.brother's departure—if the girl was "worth
two straws"—in fact, if everything had'ut
been exactly what it Shouldn ' t be, Mrs. Bun
ker would have got up herself; her house, and
her baby'to the best advantage. She bad n
very pretty taco and figure, a fact of which
she was well aware, and as a schoolgirl and
young lady in society, bad made the most of.

I should fly !"
At which remark—the energy of which , wo
have endeavored to portray in the most crum
pled door opened tu,ndinit,--V
Jane, but Aunt Levey, end our history of
Mrs. Bunker's tribulations begun.
She gave one glance at her visitor, one to
herself, and round the room. There was no
help for it—she was obliged to deposit° baby
in the cradle, sa•eaming ns he woe, and ati- -
vance to make a "first impression." Aunt
Levey did not look shocked or disgusted—a
little surprised certainly, for, knowing her
nephew's orderly propensities, this Was not
what she expected to find his home, tad the
untidy, tired, fretted-looking woman •who
introduced herself as his wife, did not certain- •
ly answer to the lover'f; descriptions ofliiS - bo:
frothed. . However, she had bean a housekeep
er, end 'know what Monday mornings were,
with only ono maid of all work, and a young
child to see to. So she kissed her niece very
cordially for the warm welcome she offered,
and begging ' not to be minded, ns she under
stood these little troubles,' sat down, laid
aside her bonnet end shawl, nod asked for the
baby. .
There it was again—hardest of all! Mrs.
Bunker's personal vainly, in departing from
her as a married woman, had rested and cen
tered itself on the baby. Aunt Levey had
taken the utmost interest in its advent—knit
ted'all its socks, the very blue pair, soiled
and dirty, which ho was kicking out at that
moment—and in return, hail been favored by -
rapturous acer.unts of his beauty at three days
old, his knowingness at three months. Mrs.
Bunker bad pictured herself presenting th'e
baby in grand toilet to his great-aunt, end see
ing her surprise, as the old lady confersid the
half had not been told her--" ob, doer 1"
But -there was no help for-it, and the was
obliged to withdraw the poor little juvenile
from its involuntary confinement, ready to cry
with weariness end disappointment, as she
tried to coax it into something like good-hu
mor. , Jane,
,drawn by curiosity where duty
failed, arrived to complete the tnbleau, slam
mittg the door, and slopping aver the pump
water on her way to the wash kitchen. She
must have been experimenting on the princi
ple that "the longest way round is the short
est way home," for there was a door in the
work-kitchen leading directly to the street.
• Good Aunt Levey was no more discomposed
by the bold stare the ", help" fixed upon her,
than she had been by the rest of the picture.
It must have cost her no inward tremor to lay
down her dove•colored cashmere shawl and
Split straw bonnet with its white sltin ribbons,
on the littered bureau, but she did flo without
invitation, Mrs. Bunke• having fairly forgot
ten to offer one in the combined annoynneel
and embarrassments of the moment, oil then
sFated in the rocking-chair, from which her
niece lied risen, slo:/spread the cradle blanket
in her lip, nod I eld out her bands for the
baby, ' %.,
It was really a very uice child, ns babies go,
in spits of its rumpled costume. Aunt Lo
vey's- first proceeding was' to " straighten it
out," smoothing the uncomfortable ,folds of
cloth and flannel from under its hack, and
thum covering its cold little feet. Iler hand
kerchief was produced to dry the little face
from the mingled_etfects of teitrs and teething,
end then 'wormed on the stove--thorn welt
very little fire—Lthe store never did draw on
washing-day—to cover the mottled arms and
(tends. Baby thus smoothed, soothed, and
comforted, presented a Much more i'espectahle
oppenrrince, and received heitrty kiss from
its greAtmnnt, by way of nu anodyne. It
seemed to have the desired effect, for, after
staring with its round blue eyes lit r e's' old
lady's face, ns if endenvoriag to recall the
features, it gradually• winked and blinked
itself to Edesii, certainly contrary to its most
determined intentions. •
;Itlra Bunker, who hod exoused herself no if
to overlook Jane's operations, but in reality
to take tip the crying fit where the baby left
off, rcturned, , with eyes very much swollen in
consequence, and tried to eller an apology for
herself and her house, ha broke dclutti again
into a little sob, and a clean pocketliandker
(thief.
"Qnme, .come, my dear, no excuse is need
ed," hummed Aunt Levey, nt the mother and
the fast retiring baby, to the old-fasldoned
rnelody.of ‘!.l.lanks and. braes."-- "Just warm

It was wonderful to see Janelu-alfferii7
obeying those instructions, given in,a quick,
Inspiriting; and; at the same time, not-to•be
trifled- with lose. , Mrs. Bunker , anp Eltain n 8110 i

throughout the room. Mrs. i llunker
Colt as if oho had known Akira Lovey for
long time ; they had talked all, the while they
were busied about household affairs, rind the
new noise felt as if she could almost open her
heart to the kind old lady, and consult her
about those constantly occurring domestic
drawbacks and trials: Joshua, good husband
as ho was, did not Seem -to understand. It
was more effective then a week of formal visit
ing, end Mrs. Bunker's face and step bright
ened with the ram: Now came the clouds
again. There mils so much to be done, she
didn't know where to begin."
" But what is it I" urged AuntLovey, stoop
ing down adiniiingly ever the cradle, for the
baby looked very lovely inlitsgrdet sleep, one
little round band pooled: under his cheek—he
was making as good an impression as his mo
ther could desire.
" Ob, everything I" responded the baby's mo
ther, in a despairing tone.
" Ah, •I see, mustdrd to mix," anchvith these
cabalistic) words, the visitor took a deliberate
survey of her hostess for the llrsttime. "Con
sider inc yonr grandmothor;, Sophia, a'nd , ret
mo advise you to tidy yourself a little; that
17111 be the first stop towards it. A neartnorn
ing-dross end clean apron are next best, or
perhaps better, than a good fire, in any house.
I'll ace to the baby." , '
Aunt Lucy certainly madu'Lerself at home.
She put the tips of her pronella buskins on
the stove hearth, and examined the hem or
her skirts to see if 'they had contracted any
dampness or mud stains in her recent walk,
and then produced her knitting, as if she was
settled down for some time. Mrs. Bunker
took the advice, as she had former prescrip
tions, and sod it to work as well. The
morning's duties-. were accomplished with an
ease and alacrity that astonished herself, even
to making the great chamber as neat as Aunt
Lovey's heart could desire, -vitbout the morti
fication of her knowing it had ever been other
wise.
It was not until Mr. Bunker had oomo from
the store, and been duly astonished and de
lighted at his aunt's unexpected arrivali and
t..e tidy appearance of the whole household—
to tell the truth, he wondered how the' last
happened to be se—that Mrs.-Bunker found
time to Book an explanation of tho significant
sentence applied by The old lady to her state
of despondency With regard to domestics affairs.
Significant she was convinced,_ though she
could not exactly Taks out the application, as
her aunt had seen the mutton -chops destined
for dinner arrive from the butcher's, and she
had never beard of mustard being taken with
them: 'They had been duly served, praised,
and eaten • the, dinner ilisims were washed
and put away, eo was the isatioy'for hi second
diurnal nap, Bunko., notwithstand
ing oho had (Mrprinny,lound herself seated to
her sewing by three o'clock for the first time
in a month, while Jane, like the unfortunate
" maid" mentioned in ono of the baby's favor
ite. lullabies, was
"In the garden, •
hanging out the clothes."
Aunt Lovey, looking thoughtfully over hey
speotaules, thought her nephew's description
of his wife not so for out of the way after all,
as she hemmed 'may very industriously at a
pile of new vowels, the most fascinating work,
next to crotchet ono can undertake ; it slips
by so fast mod evenly, and there seems to be
so much accomplished.
" But, AIM!, Etirey," said Mrs. Bunker
lookitig up suddenly, and finding - those pene
trating grey eyes fixed on her, " what did .you.
mean by mustard to mix?" ,
"011, I did not explain, did I? Well, when
1.-was.first married and moved out west—Utica
was out west then, from Connecticut,--I know
no more about managing for myself than you
do now. I used to find my work accumulate,
and 1 would get discouraged and go about a
whole week; feeling as it the world rested ou
my shoulders ; and that made Ints tnopo, and
your uncle John got discouraged, because I
did, , ,and there was no end to the snarl things
would get into. Our only near neighbor was
hice tidy body, who always looked like was
work."
"Something such n person as you," inter
t•upted Mrs. Hunker, ployfully.
" Well, perhaps so; 'but you never saw nip

to (hp other. Ono day I just run in to borrow
n, little meal—out's had given out unexpectedly
—and I found my good neighbor in n flurry,
acting just no I used to feel sometimes."
"'Oh, she had everything to do,' oho said,
and company coining to dinner.'
tpgverything ? well what?' 'As far as I
could see everything was dons.' '
"Oh, the tables to set';' apd up end nrotant

" 4But it Was two hours to dinner—who

."Why, well, then, mustard to mix!'
"That was every earthly thing, come to think
of it; but oho had been flurried by the sudden
arrival, and did not atop to ace that it could
not iesalbly disturb any of her arrangements:
So I wont home, and found I generally had
mustard lo 'mix, when, my flurries came on;

DULL IN TIM', BUSH
In the story of "Emily Oxford, or life,in
Australia," we find the following incident of
Ocorge Flower, n famous policeman whO was
sent out to hunt a notorious bush-ranger,
named
He met Millighan as a felloW ranger—and
who supposed Flower to he dead. After some
cancel - Ballot', Flower said : "Now suppose a
mounted policeman, or thief taker,,a fellow of
real pluck, was to come upon you when. you
were alone, and was to challenge you to sur
render. whgt would you do ? Would you draw
your trigger at once, and not give him a
shrines?" •
"No," cried Millighan, " I'd tell him to etand
off and have a fight for it."
"Iliglian," said Fin wur, still keeping Lis
eagle eye fixed on him, " ate you speaking
the truth ?"
"Yes, so help me heaven!"
"Now let us suppose," continued Flower
"that such a man ns that fellow George Flow
or—the fellow that was drowned the other day.

walk backwards five and twenty paces, and
let me do the same."
" , And do you think that he would do it?"
""yea I do, far he was a man. I hare often
wished to meet that fellow in the field, for
what I moat want in this life is its excitement
and to be killed by the hand of a man lihe
Flower, or to escape by killing him in fair
light—either way would lie something to suit
me."

\lillighno started. He gazed on Flower;
whose eye was now riveted on that of his ad . -,
versary. Millighan's carbine dropped front
his hand, but he did not change color or betray
any alarm.
" Pick up your piece," , said Flower, point
ing to the carbine and assuming a proud and
careless attitude, lam all that you have said
of me, sfillighan. I might have shot,you like,
a dog before I spoke to you just now ; but
could not do that, for you are a man as well
as myself, and you aro no bravo no generous.

sighed heavily no lie it. "Do not our

Millighan , would do so, and break the charm
thatbourid him to the man.
" tirrender !" cried Ingham, with a smile'
and a sneer; ' , no I I'll never do that. • And
knowing you to be a bravo foe, I have still a
chance, for I shoot as straight as you do. But
tell mo in earnest, are you George Flower?—
Yes, you must be. But hear this—(his blood
began to warm)—if yen taro not, we must
fight this day, for we cannot after this live

his carbine, and eitninined the powder in his
pen, and touched the flint as Millighan had
done.
