' Lutliue Quadrilles.' ' You are an ungrateful duffer,' I re joined, politely. You are also a gentle manly•looking man and a strange'r in this neighbourhood, with not hint; to do. And it was from these two latter reasons that I introduced you here ' But 1 want a pretty partner, and 1 can't find one,' said my friend, taking down his eyeglass, in despair. ' There's nothing in the room— ' if you will look in the direction of the doorway,' I rejoined quietly, ' be reduced to proving your rule by an exception.' . Charley's eyes followed mine. 'By Jove!' he exclaimed—so loudly and sud denly that a nervous young gentleman in spectacles, who, by dint of a senior wrangler's concentration of mind, had almost piloted himself through a quad rille, was now'starticd, and losing his esence of mind in the moment of vie tory ; ignominiously plunged La Punic' in to con fusion hush ! Charley,' I remonstrated. Your spiting habits are a drawback, in many ways, to your otherwise duly subdued and refined bearing and conver ration.' ' You be _hanged,' answered Charley I don't think yonder bright " exe4tion" looks as if she would like a man any the less fur his being able to discriminate between Blair Athol and butcher's screw.' Very likely not,' said I ; ' the nccom plishaient, in itself she would admire, no doubt, to the extent that it deserves. But if Lintroduce and recommend you— . 1 havelsn 4 6ivn Maud since she was a girl. your attention must be more refined' than those of the hard•riding hero of a sport ing novel.' Chetwynd was quite indignant. and was colon cueing aQretort ; but his new divinity as, like a light, growing larger and clearer,' she approached, seemed to absorb anger in admiring worship. With a foil in the person of .a not over young and very stout lady, who hung heavy on the other arm of her escort, himself, a man of aspect rather round than romantic, she seemed, my fancy told me as I gazed, a stately Olivia of the 'Twelfth Night' by the side of a Sir To by Belche and an older but not less vi vacious Maria. I admired my own idea so much that I did'not at first hear my friend eagerly iquestioiling me, Who-is she—and ... who is that smirking, fat fair and forty George, the Fourth style of woman, and the poor iA-looking fellow between them You ought to recognise the man,' 1 replied. He is Gumbreton—don't you n.colleet him at school—always ,talking about cricket, and couldn't ? The women aro his fiancee and her aunt.' Well,' said Charkiy, 'l've left off being surprised at anything these twelve vears—since I was-fifteen.' Charley had a bad habit of' applying to ordinary, life the phraseology of the turf. ' But to ,think,' he went on, 'of that splendid, figure and' thCroughbred style of action being wasted on a.man who's ,built like a bisi op's cob I Why the. aunt.there —look —look how she's giggling--ought to be ashamed of herself, tt• woman,of that age and size she'd 'suit him to a T,' said Charley, carefully' handimpping her, as he milled it, With the aid of his eyeglass. ‘ What the deuce are you laughing ay?' h + ~ 0, , A ' At your way of expressing yourself, I suppose, or at the frightful mess mild party in spectacles got his seat into in "La Poule," over there,' I rejoined. Well, I can console myself with a flirtation, perhaps. Look ! she's silting down, and the other two have left her,' exclaimed Clietwynd.. 'Now's the time— introduce me.' I complied with his wish, and saw little more of my friend that evening. Chdrlgy—he's conceited enough about it —is a clever fellow. He seemed to in sinuate himself into the good graces of Maud Yarsten with remarkable quick ness; nor was his flirtation impeded by Gumbleton who, not being an adept at dancing, devoted, himself chiefly, with intervals of attention to his other charge, to potations of sherry in the supper room. Beneath the stars, still shining hut with somewhat of the look of Aassce beau• ties, and while the world was waiting fir the dawn, we drove home, Chetwynd and I; and all the way Charley poured into my ears a tale of sudden passion and con comitant difficulty and despair thwarting the course of true love, he wildly corn- Plained with obstacles more difficult even than those usually thrown across that much-vexed current. 11cr eyes,' he rhapsodized, 'are like the sea in summer when the lights on it are always changing, and the changes are always lovely.' assented, and struck a vesuvian upon the splashboard. he's far away the finest filly I ever asw : and as lor her marrying that tat, guzzling, gorwandiz lug Ganibleton, why it's my film belief that she det e sts the idea as much as 1 do. How she enjoyed my quizzing her aunt—Maud's Aunt as I would keep calling her relative, fur the sake of re pvating that exquisite name She's full ul humour. What the devil are you laughing at 7' 1,,,n doll ,loclety • 1-1 was thinking of the ignominy of that wild party in spectacles. Certain ly,' 1 added. Miss Marston has an in finite fund of— mischief.' Well,' said Cbetwynd, ' the long and short ul it is t hat lam desperately in love with tier—the ideal, almost, of my dreams; and you may sneer, but love dues, some times, como, not with the gradual groWih of yonder, slow-brightening dawn ;'—he pointed, tightening the reins as he spoke, to where the pale blue sky was beginning to hilit of the coming daybreak—'but swift as its peer of the glowing tropics.' ' Well,' pursued Charley, returning to matter of fact, tell you what, Jack, I shall write to tier this very morning and propose to cut the Gordian knot of aif 6culty by an elopement. Of course, in requital for my honoring you with so important a .confidenc.e,,,you'll help me it need arises.' ' Of course,' I answered, sniffling. All the rest the way home, while the world around us was waking to its summer day's lite of' light and flowers and shining Woods, Chetwynd was silent, ever and anon taking from and replacing in his mouth, an extinct cigar. lle wrote his proposed letter from my lodgings, and, after despatching it, sub sided into a state of nervous anxiety, an intense abhorrence for anything to eat, a decided partiality for anything to drink, and a most destructive fancy for a well filled box of my particular Havana cigars. I paid little attention to his proceed ings, being engrossed myself with what 1 considered a very important task '1 his was no other than the getting up of an eleven toc,optend against the well-known cricketingitown of Battington, by which I, at the head- of my club, the Peripatet ic Pifflers,' had belt, much to my chagrin, already worsted once this year. The P. P.'s were determined upon re venge. Battington had been blatant upon the theme of its vcitory ; and the main cause of Chetwynd's being now my visitor was the fact of lay having desired to se cure his assistance—he . had been a " Varsity' bat bcwler—in the second otruggle And now deep despair seized my soul, when I reflected that this sud den escapade of my friend's would pro bably be the cause of our second defeat, by dt priving us of the aid of the famous Charley Cam b ridge, such Was Chetwynd's wont de thterre in the cricketing world. But Fotune, who is said to delight -in overthrowing the proud, seemed, about to prove herself a consistent goddess by her behaviour to- those conceited 13attingtoni ans. To do this no doubt, she so man- aged matters that Charley, within twenty four hours from the despatch of his let ter, received a reply whibh, to use his own expression,. derived- from a reminis cence of one otioorjeeob's pictures, hung a board round his nook and tink led him, thus disabled, with the straw of perverse misfortune.' But . be did not make this discovery un til arriving at tho. end of the letter, of which, in his oostaoy during the first pe rusal, ho favored me with extracts "Ills like the strangeness of a dream.'" qubied . Charley; g "so short has been our abiidintanoe, so sudden the growth of love between us,--('of love between us,' repeated my friend delightedly,'and hur rying on), J. fear, like ,Juliet, lest you should consider me too easily. won, if I consent to an elopement. ('Bravo.:!' oiied Carlisle, Pa., Friday, Oetober 13, 1865 Chotwynd, jumping up from his chair.) I am like Lydia Languish—l long for the excitement pf a runaway marriage, and hate the idea of the ordinary formal and ceremonious one. I should prefer abandoning my home by means of a rope ladder.—('So you shall, and prettily your sylph's ankle will trip down it,' put in Chetwynd.) My niece knomis that you have written to me ('niece—niece I' said my friend, pausing. 'She means aunt— she's agitated, poor thing !') She thinks we ought to see each other—best in some public place—to arrange matters. ('Quite like a mother to her,' remarked Chet wynd ; romantic in her youth, no doubt,i she looked, or rather smirked it') I send you a kiss" (my friend raised the letter rapturously to his lips), "and sign myself by the name which your dear lips have so playfully conferred on me, "MAUD'S AUNT. "P. S. You never would think we were in that relationship, would you ?" ' I do not know which of us, my friend or myself, underwent, at the close of this letter, the most violent change of counte nance from the respective causes of a mazement and amusement. 'Why,' gasped Charley, 'they're the same name, and the aunt's got wy letter. But it's absurd. Why, I dwelt through. out it upon her engagement to Gumble- ton.' 1 articulated an answer with some dif ficulty : 'lt is the eldest who is engaged to Gutubleton.' 'What r said Charley, scarcely com prehending me; and then h 2 added, .'Well, that explains all. But I remem ber distmedy, you said it was the niece who was engaged to him— I recollect your words—"Gumbleton, fiancee, and her aunt." One of your confounded pieces at chaff, I suppose, or a slip of the tongue aq you'll say. I see now how it. was, you were always laughing at in that unreaSon able fashion." 'Du you?' I answered. But Charley was by this time reperusing the letter with disgust equal to his former delight "Shortacquaintance," "sudden love,' " he commented. 'Scarcely spoke a work to her; was introduced— didn't even catch the name ; handed her a chicken at sup per or part of one "Easily won,"—should rather think so. , "Elopement,"—not if I. know it "Lydia Languish,"—why she's five and-thirty if she's a day—dare say forty. "Rope ladder." That's the best thing yet;—fancy me wiiiting at the bottom of a rope-ladder for a woman of sixteen stone ! "Have informed my niece of your letter." That's the unkindest cut of all. I think I see the fun in Maus large eyes: What an utter fool she must think me!' 'Well,' he enned, breaking off. see nothing for me but to run away from this Falstaffian female. I can't possibly have the face to meet her, especially as it's my mistake, and there is,' observed my friend rising and complacently looking at himself in the mirror over the mantelpiece— 'there's some excuse fur her proceedings.' 'Now, Jack, I'll tell you what—l'll write an explanatory letter to the real Maud; and you, in atonement fur your sins, must manage to delver it—can't trust the post; for I don't see how to pre. vent the letter falling into the hands of the other. 'Meantime, for the present, I'll wake myself scarce." 'On one condition I'll help you,' was my reply. 'You must play w'th us to day against Buttington ; .it's five miles away, and you can get farther off to morrow; it'll do you good too—distract your mind. It's nearly time to start now.' 'Well, you must do your best for me, then,' returned my friend. 'Five miles is far enough I suppose. Gumbleton's fu ture'aunt doesn't play cricket, I should think, and there's no danger of my meet ing her.' 'No,' I said, 'but Gumbleton does— plays against us to-day. You can have the satisfaction of bowling at hip.' 'That would have decided it, an hour ago,' said Charley. 'But, however, I will go.' • He went, and at the moment of his set ting foot upon the Buttingtou cricket field, Charles Chetwynd the lover in difficul ties, vanished from o•tr sight, and orick eting Charley Cambridge took his place. Buttington went in first—the watch was a one innings affair—and whoa Gumble ton came to the, wickets, I saw a little extra 'devil' in the eye of Charley, who was bowling from the other end. Gum bleton, before commencing operations, al ways spent five minutes in beating down imaginary hillooks between himself and the bowler, taking objectless constitu tionals round his wicket, and staring at, each fieldsmitu in turn, as if he wanted to identify him aftertvards upon a crimi nal charge. 1 had, therefore, a good op. pOrtunity for obtaining moderate odds a• bout his retiring in the first over, and, thereby, paid my travelling expenses. Charley's fist, ball did not realize 'my expectations it shot ..on tho legside, and smiting' poor Gumbleton on• the 'ankle bone just below , a rather inefficient, pad, caused hink:to limp during • the remainder, of the day. But the second whirled his leg-stump a yard into , the air, and caused of course, the adipose•batsmanto return inglorious, to the tent. When' , the last of tyo Battingtonian wickets, fell, the' chi sttuotion of seven was credited to Char.: tl \ . ley, and Vic, total score was little over a hundred, a 4ory small one when we con sidered the run-favouring state of the ground and the strength of batting talent arrayed against us. We—the Fifflore —began our innings with much hope of victory. But' from the effects, perhaps, of dinner beverages, the P. P.'s, with one exception, came ,t s c the wickets, some but to remind us of tire fate of Gumbleton, others to lead a pre carious life with the reward of an occa sional 'single,' and sooner or later retire without having attained any mastery over the bowling. Charley alone, having gone first i remained. By elegant d.Tence and forward play, by showy and almost inevitable mits, by frequent leg hits lung and low—as leg hits and bunters should be—by a six and a coupb- of fours, the result of an unluckily-tried over of slows, he rapidly brought pp the - score, till, with the tenth wan at the opposite wicket, and Charley facing the beginning of the over. it was within one of that of our oppo nents. Even at this exciting moment it flashed upon my mind how thoroughly English was the scene, and how worth a painter's while to portray. The horizon, at its most distant point, was ridged by a faint contrast of blue hills, (the waves, 'as it were, spellbound in their motion, of a giant's sea,) and nearer, more boldly countered by dark lines and mass es of wood, that, except where they gave upon that distant range of sum wits, ran like a fringe round the prospect. Flow ing down the sides and from the feet of those far eminences. came a stream of rich and shining acreage, which, at the gorge that broke the en cle of the woods, de so us to truggest.a comparison with a lake of green and 'golden waters And these, where the undulated nose a round us, who wi re the ceatre.point of the scene, became waving wheat and tfil•11- dotted grassland. :Summer and sunshine had made everythin g their own; while distant hills and sp res, and, clustering nearer round its wide church tower, the irregularly built village of Barrington, told far and near of the life of the land scape ; and we ourselves, a ring of sitting or standing groups amidst the white tents of the cricket-field—our faces riveted up on the picture. its finish of human interest. The last fieldsman had just reached his place for the new over, when I heard the trampling of hoirien o❑ the sward be hind me, and looking round, saw the cup of triumph, so to speak, dashed from the expectant lips of the Peripatetic Pifflers. For at this moment there rode into the field, late spectators of Gumbleton's prowess, his finanrce and her aunt. I glanced back at Charley, and saw that they had caught his eye just as the op. posing bowler started to deliver the first ball of the over. The ball came straight as an arrow, and Chetwynd, excited by the sudden appearance of his dreaded bete noir, did not wait to play it. Rush ing out for a blind swipe: he hit, us I ex pected.: ' over' the ball, and lost his mid dle stump; to the accompaniment of a shout of victory, to which every Batting tonian on the field contributed his long est and loudest. By the device of dodging behind the tallest, men, he attempted, amdist the subsrquent confusion, to reach the tent unobserved by the object of his alarm. But Battington we. , generous, and insist ed upon making him conspicuous by cheering him, and I saw, with an inter nal convulsion, the stouter of the two ladies on horseback beckon him with her hand td'approach them. Hastily donnieg an outer garment brought by an officious admirer, poor Charley obeyed the signal. I observed him approich, ruefully enough, the fair invader of h.s r resence; .I,saw her greet him with wreathed smiled, while, ever and anon glancing at him from the other side of her relative, the real object of his passion gracefully reined in her impatient bay thoroughbred. ' You see after all it is /who city oblig ed to seek" yon. But you expected, of course, that we should be here. Would you like to kiss my bond ?' and the elder lady half extended to him that number— nct a very shapely one. ( Charley shuiddrred. ' A little too. pub lic,' he faintly gasped, and encountered at this moment, to add to his confusion, the arch gaze of the owner's lovely com .paaion..

What exclaimed Charley, a light break ing on him, you don't mean to say that you aro the niece, after all, and she not the intended Mrs. Gumbleton.' But amidst the laughter' of us bystan ders, he *as off before the question could be answered. This time, Charley Chetwynd evinced reluctance rather to depart from, than to approach Mi , s Yarston. Long time they stood together, till the cessation of crick et practice, and the darkness that came over the wide landscape round them, gave warning of departure. Explanation was probably being given him of the series of mistakes in which, by, in the first in stance, taking, naturally enough, the wrong rersons for aunt and niece, he hac become involved. With the old look of mischief in her large, now loving eyes. his partner of the past and of the future told him how, in the first instan., she had amused he, self' carelessly enough with his error, and how, to punish hi b for some rude remarks up m her niece, she - had c irried on the delusion with ihe aid of her mirth.loving senior.

ARANEUS. The Effect of Getting Married Doubtless you have remarked with sat isfaction, how the little oddities of men who marry rather late in life are pruned away speedily after their marriage. You have found a man with a huge shirt col lar flayed at the edges, and a glaring silk pocket handkerchief, broken of these things, and become a pattern of neatness. You have seen a man whose hair and whiskers were ridiculously cut, speedily become like other human beings. You have seen a clergyman who wore a long beard, in a little while appear without one. You havp seen a man who took snuff copiohsly, and who generally had his breast covered with snuff, abandon the vile habit. A wife is the grand wielder of the moral pruning knife. If Johnson's wife bad lived, there would have been no hoarding up of bits of orange peel ; no touching all the posts in walking along the street ; no eating and drinking with a disgusting voracity. If Oliver Gold. smith had been married, he would never have worn that memorable and ridiculous coat, 1% henever you find a man whom you know little about, oddily-dressed; or talking ridiculously, or *exhibiting any eccentricity of manlier, you may be tol erably sure that he is not a married man. The little corners are rounded off, and the little shoots are pruned away in mar• ried. men. Wives generally have much moi'e .sense than their husbands; espe cially if they are clever men. The wife's advices are like Ballast that keeps the ship steady. They are like the whole some though painful shears, snipping off little growths of self-conceit and folly.

What We Owe to the East We forget how many contributions to cur own comforts are of Oriental origin Their commonness hides them from our view. If the American wishes to know how much he owes to the Asiatic, heifas only to cast a glance at an hour of his daily life. The clock which summons him from 'his bed in the morning was the invention of' the East, as also were clepsydras and sun-dials. The prayer for his daily bread, that he has said from his infancy, first rose from the side of a -;yrian mountain. The linens and cotton' with which he clothes himself. though hey may he very fine, are inferior those that, have been made from time im memorial in the looms of India Th. -ilk was stolen for his benefit from China He could buy better steel than that wilh which he shaves himself in the old city of Pamascus, where it was first invented The coffee he expects at breakfast was first grown by the Arabians, and the na tives of Upper India prepared the sugar with which he sweetens it. A school-boy can tell the meaning of the .Sanscrii words " sacchara eanda." If he prefers tea, the virtues of that excellent leaf wer. first pointed out by the industrious Chi nese. They also taught him how_ to make and use the cup and saucer in which to serve it. His breakfast tray was lac. quefed in Japan. The egg he is break• ing was laid by a fowl whose ancestors were first domesticated by the Malaccans, unless she may have been—although that will ,tot alter the case—a modern Shang hai. If there are preserves and fruits on his board, let him remember With - , thankfulness that Persia first gave him the cherry, the peach, the plum. If in any of these pleasant preparations he de. tects the flavor of alcohol, let it remind him that thap substance was first distilled by the Arabians. A thousand years be fore it had occurred to him to enaot laws of restriction in the use of intoxicating drinks: the Prophet of Mecca did the same thing, and has compelled to this day millions to obey them. We gratify our taste for personal 'Ornaments in the way the Orientals taught us—with pearls, rubies, sapphires, diamonds. Of public amusements it is the same. The most magnificent fire-works are still to be seen in India and China; and as regards the pastimes of private life, neither America nor Europe has prbilided an invention that can rival the game of chess. We have no hydraulic constructions as great as the Chinese Canal, no fortifications as extensive as the Chinese Wall; we have no ,Artesian Wells that Can at all ap proach in depth some of theirs. We have not yet resorted to the practice of ob tainipg coal gas from the interior of the earth ; they have borings for that pur - pose. more than 3000 feet deep.' LITTLE CHIC DREN.-1. think them 'he poetry of the world—the fresh flowers of our hearths and homes—little conjurors, with their " natural magic," evoking by their spells what delights and enriches all ranks, and equalizes the different class es of society. Often as they bring with them anxieties and cares, and live to oc casion sorrow and grief, we should,wit on every badly without them. If there was never ahything anywhere to be seen but, great grownrup_men .and_women, low -we should long for the sight of a little child 1 Every infant comes into the world _ likea delegated prophet, the harbinger and herald of good tidings, whose office it is " to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children," and to draw " the disobe dient to the wisdom of, the just." A. child softens and purifies the heart, warming and melting it. by its gentle presence ; it enriches the soul by nevi' feelings, and awakens within if what is favorable to , virtue.

The men were not over whelmed by their calamity, bur instantly ,et to work to provide for their future wants. The *reek of a ship which they iound on the shore - supplied them with fuel, and the twelve charged of powder and ball pm:lilted them as - many reindeer, which were numerous on the island. With nails extracted from a piece of 04- timber, they made three lances, where with they 'killed a bear, and with the strong tendons of the bear they strung anmetrengthened a piece of orooked delft wood, which they converted into a bow With this, and the arrows which they easily made, they killed, during their stay of six years on the island, two hundred and fifty reindeer, ten bears, and a vast number of foxes ; and when they were at length relieved by a vessel which witch ml unexpectedly on • the island, they were able to pay for their passage home with wo thousand pounds of deer fat, and many bides of the animals they had slain. One of their number, a very indolent man, who, from the beginning, bud eschewed almost every kind of exertion, died from -curvy, while the other three found health in their daily active employments." A singular incident occurred at Caron delet, Mo.' A Mr. G. four years ago went away to the wars with Gen. Price leaving a wife and two children. Hear ing nothing from her husband, the NVOCII in, after a time, yielded to the sympathy and love of a neighbor, a Mr. Turner, and married him. Fresh olive buds were added to the familLwreath, and every thing went smoothly. On Monday last, however, the original Mr. G. entered the domicil of the happy Mr and Mrs Tur ner. After the first surprise was over he three calmly seated themselves to consider the anomalous position - of the parties towards each other. After a full ixposition of their sentiments the two lien started down the street. leaving the lady of their desires to me.ke her decision uninfluenced by either. When the two returned the lady announced that she hail chosen to cling to her last love. Mr. G., hough evidently disappointed acquiesced, oily claiming his children as blood of his blood. This claim could not be contro verted, and the father and children qui etly and sadly bade adieu to the woman they had known as wife and mother and departed for the South. GEN. SHERNIAN CORNERED.—WhiIe Gen Sherman was in Gen. Howard's tent one day during thr Georgia cam paign, the medical director, who knew that the former liked a "glass" occasion ally, while Gen. Howard was total absti nence, told Sherman that he looked weary and ill, and if he would go with him he would give him a eeidlitz powder. The General acquiesced in the proposal with alacrity, but Gon. Howard opening his valise begged him not to leave and pro duced a powder which he mixed and gave o Sherman. The latter, though a little chagrined at the losi4 of the ardent, was much amused at Howard's ruse and drank the cup manfully. The by-standors who saw the joke smiled as loud as was prop er uudtr the circumstances. A SECRET TO SCRIBBLERS.—]3e brief in everything: Short wo ds, short sen tences, and short stories. These make a writer popular with editors and readers. The strength of the Saxon tongue lies in its shortness. No writer can be popular who is pollysyllabio oftener than occa sionally. A THIEF took a fancy to a valuable mare, in a pasture, about six miles from Bridgeport, and attempted to steal her: She had a way of showing her ankles to strangers— and in the morning the thief was found in the pasture in a helpless condition, from a broken leg, the result of a hearty kick. We think the farmers in this vicinity would do well to teach their mares that trick. THE most agreeable of all companions is the simple and frank person without any high pretensions to an.oppressive gentleness; one who loves life andrunder stands the use of it; obliging alike at all hours, and above all of-tt golden temper, steadfast as an anchor.
