open window came the sound of mowers .
whetting their scythes, blended with the
call of the robin. But it only' irilfated
MreThonapson-indeed eye*thing - hl i
tated her that day. Looking out from
the back door, might be seen a lovely
landscape, with broad reaches of meadow
land, fringed *ith.graceful'belts of birch;
and softly rounded mountains lifting
their velvety foreheads to the' white,
'fleecy clouds, that wont slowly sailing
across the exquisite ether, like huge
_drifts.of thistle down. - But -this also- ir--'
rititediler ; everything could he beauti
ful saye_her_ life, -and-that-was cold, and
yude,:aed barren. At loiatitra. Thomp
son, in the plenitude of her present un
eidisfactory mood, was fehing herself
that it was.
To begin at the beginning:" Jane
Lawrence had been an unusually roman
lip girl; and had gane for two years to a
bearding-school.--Sho-had-always-fanaied
that sha .Iyould marry some" famous'
artist or scholar, whir would take herte -
Remo and Venice, where sho,might live
.in: a 'perpetual dreamed' beauty. She
loved, beautiful things. Perliaps• all
women do ; and that may be the reason
BO many are found ready to• barter love
for gold.
But, contrary to all her preconceived
notions, she married Robert Thompson,
a plain, practical farmer ;'and instead of
touring it in Italy, she wont to live at
the old homestead, which had been the
abode of the ThoMpsons for generations.
Dreams and reality aro so very different,
you sec.
Robert Thompson was a working far
mer, as well as a practical man, and all
his people worked. His mother had
worked in her day, his sisters had worked,
_and ho ox'pected his wife to work. She
took to it gleefully. She had not boon
brought up with high notions by ,any
moans, and at first the work did not
seem so much. But every experienced
lady knows how the labor seems to accu
mulate in a plain ; farmer's household as
the years after marriage go on. There
wore plenty of men and boys about, but
only one woman
. serrant, was kept, and
Mrs. Robert Thompson grow to find she
helped at nearly everything, save per,
haps the very roughest of the labor. In
place of lounging in 'elegant foreign
studios, or gliding down famed canals or
streams in picturesque gondolas, sholiad
butter add cheese to make, and poultry
to rear, and dinners to cook in the long,
low coiled kitchen, and the thousand and
ono cares upon•her shoulders that make .
up a busy household. Quite a contrast,
as must be admitted.
',Vitli things a:little' 'different, • she'd
not have mindediho work so much,
could , she have had nice 'carpets and
tasteful furniture, and books, and a pia
ture or two, and flowers. The home was
so very hard and practical, and its suit
rouudings were getting so• shabby. At
'first she had not noticed this, or carod
,for it ; but ovory year, as the years went
on, made matters look . dingier. plcl•
Mrs. -Tliompson had not -cared to be
smart and nice;. Robert .nover thought
ahout it. - And what though ho had?
it is only natural for men to assumo that
what had done for a, mother would do
for a wife. In time - MM. Robert Thomp
son hegan - to ask that some - renovation
should fake Place, atwhich Robert only
stared ithe hOnse that liaddeme without
painting so long could do yeti and the
old. things in it wets good ,'enough 'for
them. She did not venture to urge Obo
puint,'but she did press for some flowers.-
.There was a strip of ground . under the
south parlor windows Where • a, shrub Of
sweet briar grew, and pinka • swept wil
liams,' and - marigolds blossomed in their.
season. Rut they :were old' fashioned,
common flowers, and she pined for the _
rata and elegant plants nhe had socri in
conseivatbries and public gardens. But .
Robert Thompson, would as peon have
thought, of buying -.the' s . mean, as such
useless things as flowers. The garden;
lido hinisolf, was all practical, filled with
cabbages, onions, potatoes; and sweet.
herbs,•,,And *so • want On her ! unlovely

meuieheavy crop ; so I shall" bring them
in to dinner. Oh, and:. the Hubbards
want: six pounds of butter tb-night ;
do I)'t forgot to have it ready.".
With these words, Mr. Robert Thomp
son had marched off, leaving his wife to
her-long, weary day's work, darkened.
and made distastefUl by her disappoint
ment. She was both grieved and angry.
It was a little thing perhaps, but it is
the little things of life that delight or
annoy.
Existence seemed very bare and homely
to Jane Thompson that summer day.,
With her love of ease, and beauty, and
symmetry, how rude, and coarse, and
hard looked. all her surroundings. It
was only one long, monotonous round of
homely toil ; unrelieved by any of the
little sweetnessee and graces that might
make even toil pleasant. She did not
even think of it ; but she remembered
that day, with the faintest little air of
regret, that sho might have been fat dif
ferently situated, and as she looked up
to the pretty French cottage on the hill,
embowered in a perfect forest of blos-,
soming vines, and caught the cool gleain
of urn and fountain, something very I.ko
a sigh trembled on her lies. "Squire
Boruham's wife does not hay° to big for
a paltry bit of money—to sot out her table
decently," she thought rebelliously,
And then in her spitit of aggrievement,
a'ie mentally wont over the other things
sho needed, and Robert knoW were
needed. ,Why was life to he:aß toil'and
bare ugliness'? There was no reason,
ho had plenty of money. A. now carpet
for.tho best parlor, paper for •tho walle t .'
so stained with time; 'whitewash,' paint,
some fresh chintz, she remembered it
all, as she toiled through the long toll
'try forenoon with an aching, head and
discouraged. heart. It, happened to be
washing day ; and on those days sho took
all the work, that 10111:might not be
disturbed in her help at the tubs. .
What business had sho to marry Rob
ert Thompson?, she asked herself; her
slender Wrists beating away at the but
ter for the Hubbards. For in the 'green
and 'gloomy light that Mrs." Robert
Thompson ldoked at the things to day,,
she quite forgot the fact that had fallen
ib leve.wlth tho'honest, steady and good
looting young firmer, choosing hint in
preference to Joo Burnham, whom. she
might have had. Joe had a ;patrimony
of his own; two hundred a year at least,
and a good bit °fiend, which ho rented,
and was called "Squirei" as his 'father
'had been before him. Re wanted to'

I ,This principle in optics is exemplified
'in 'the world, at:' large, by the erroneous,
and magnified views which•peoplo obtain
through their mind's eye of situations
and opportunities of others. Rare •
chances and enviable positions loom up
before tieir•imaginatioas in such glitter-,
ing splendor As to, deceive. them into the
belief that the 'shining object is pure
Metal, rather than the, worthless alloy it
really is. They aro unwilling to be
lieve that "distance lends enchantment
to the view:!' As a rule, this illusion is ,
more peculiar to mankind in the morn
ing and meridian of life. Tile youth. of '
'an ardent and impulsive character is fre
quently carried away by luminbus ap
pearances loading over the marshes and
quicksands of life, toward some imagi
nary and apparently, not far distant
boon; then leaving him like an ignus
fatuua, lost, pdrhaPs, beyond recovery
like the benighted traveler on the moors
of ancient Britain.
In the majority of instances the object
of his exertions is the acquisition of gold
itself, laying all his sacrifices upon the
burning altar of Mammon.
_ _The_seeming_splendor_of- riches-is-de
rived from an outside appreciation of
those who appear to possess them ; noth
ing is manifest to a casual observer but
the outside show and. plentitudo of
wealth ; they know nothing of the men
tal !train, and nervous tension of the
man of means, nor of the absence, in his
breast, of that which constitutes enjoy
ment.
From that distance which intervenes
between riches and poverty, the pleas
ures and brilliancy of the votaries of one
are but magnified by tho sorrows and
miseries of thii other; and it is not
strange that those 'who feel the horrol's
of penury should not perceive any draw
backs to the happiness of those who are
possessed of riches.
According to the just proportions ox
sting between industry andthrift, thorn
is no reason why a youth, who persever
ingly follows, and attends to his occupa

- which all meet between the cradle and
the grave, and - whon . his golden leeks are
turned to silver, have the comforts of a
home, and be able to end his days in re

Those who constitute the bulk of this
class 'are not to be found among dig wild_
adventurers, sailing on the sea of specu
lation, where failure is the rule, and suc
cess the exception ; • but among those
who, by striving' to make every moment
available,' accumulate, before old age
What many, in a lifothno, never obtain.
They are not leaving the prospect of
an honest livelihood fo'r the glittering
uncertainty of opulence; but by untiring
industry achieve independence and
honor, as the lives of thousands testify.
The evil effects of the gilded treasures
of lifo in captivating the youth or man
of mature years,. are not and perhaps
never will bo fit*. known ; but there is
daily evidence 'to show that many who
had else amassed a, fortune have been
distracted from their business, and spent
their. lives in-pursuit of. thelligures of
their imagination, only to see them van

OUR mol'11E1?
From our earliest infancy, we learn to
cling to oft:mother. Night after, night,
while wo are tossing upon a bed of pain,
slie watches over us with nutiring, and
gentle care, thinking of nothing but that
which relates to our comfort. Look
upon the battle aid, after tho conflict is
over,, and all is silent save an occasional
moan frOni a dying soldier, and nouglit,
to light Up the faces of tho dying but the
pale light of the moon. Here and' thorn
we seen fluttering figure darting to and
fro among the dead, now and then peer
ing into the face of one who, she thinks,
• porhaPs, may be her boy. What a pic
ture of, mother's love is. this? No rest
for her until she finds her boy ; and when
ho is found, weltering in life's blood, the
mother'bends over him, 'and sob after
sobescapes from her agonized bosom.
Lot us look into the hospital. See that
poor follow as he lie's upon his coucli
kind nurses aro around administering to
his wants, but what cares he ter those?
his motheris not there. But look at
him now. Whythies his, eye light up
and his whole frame ("Myer with joy!
It is because' his mother is coming to see
him. Does he not love his mother ? Yet
how many of Ira turn with scorn from .
her wise advied and regard it' only as
talk. But in after years,' when wo are
thrown into the world, and have only
ourselves to depend upon for .support,
then it is we call to mind the many les
sons wbieli,she gave; and regret, When
it is too late, that we did not follovr her
loving advice. Speak to the
_drunkard
or criminal of his home and friends, you
touch his heart ; but speak to him of hie
mother; and recall to him tho . weary,
nights she watched over him while he
was in pain, and you see a mist over
spread his eyes—ho will bow his head
and:think:Over-the-pleasant days-of :
childhood, remember them only as a de- .
lightfal dream that is past and gone• for
ever. In after years, as wo stand beside
the cold, dead body of our beloved mother,

we were young, and which wo had be
before treated with contempt and scorn
—those lessons we determine shall be
our guiding star .to he;iven and to mother.
Quietly passed from earth, last week,
at his rosideuce•iu New York city, one
Pat Mullin. : Though possessed of many
virtues, Mullin was chiefly dear to fame
as the man whom Barnum paid. for his
"turn" at Tonilliggirison's barber shop
under the Park-Hotel. The Story . Is well
known, but it should be repeated once
more in honor of the dead, and in justice
to the living. One day, a few years ago,
Barnum rushed into Higginson's shop
and found Pat Mullin, tho deceased, just
.taking-his-seat-for 4 he-sumo-operationr,'
Barnum at once proposed to Pat to ex
change turns, offering' to pay'Pat's. bill.
Pat, with the quick wit of an Irishman,
assented. Barnum got his shave, and
told Higgiuson to, chafge Pat's bill to
him, and went on his way 'rejoicing.
When Pats turn came he deliberately
'proctieded to take a bath, a shave, and a
'I-shampoo," and wound up by having
his hair curled, and his whiskers dyed.
When all was done ho politely told Hig
ginson to "Charge it to the boss," and
departed. Barnumrafterward paid the
bill, and thought the joke was worth the
money. .
When Daniel Webster was Secretary
of State, Signol. Blitz called °whim, in

"An office I What °Vico is there under

will then count them also, when it w'll

thousand dollars." "Alt I Signor,",paid
Mr. Webster," "that won't do. We
have magicians in Washington who, if a

through their hands, would (have noth
