A SHORT WALK.
W. 0. EATON.
For tho p ast six months', Mrs.
Rushuiorc had confined herself
Luey
within
doors, with the sola exception of three
or four times, when she felt compelled
to go out lo do a little shopping. She1
was yet but young ; but her naturally ,
slender framo, by thus being housed up, !
had gradually grown more slender ; and
bonks, music, drawing, painting, and
other means of in-door recreation had,
censed to vivify her. Coffee seemed
only bitter, tea insipid to her taste, and
only to add to that nervousness and bil
iousness which darkened her mind and
complexion, and made her tremulous at
trifles ; nn-1 while sho felt the necessity
of fresh air and exercise abroad, sho
had become so inert that the task of
dressing up aud walking forth, to bravo
the eyes of a staring world, seemed too
fearful to bo undertaken. Her bus-
bund's business so fatigued him, that ho
was but too glad to remain at homo and j
rest after he got there, without inclina-1
tion to accompany her abroad; and now, j
tho long borno monotony of her lifo
having rendered her peevish, she com.'
plained to bun about it ono sultry sum-
mer afternoon, wlien tlie suu had sent
him home earlier than usual.

"I wish I could travel there, orsninv
whore," sighed his wife ; "anywhere fur
exercise ."
"Exercise ! Tho very thing I have
(oo much of, I wish it. v,:is so orde red
that we could share, Lucy, and sharo
alike."
''So d j T. 1 ought to go out more. I
leel real peaked and ready to drop down,
I fctay in so much."
''ou ought to rush rounl more,
Luey, that is true. Early in tho morn

have, every morning before breakfast,
in tho nearest park, all ulono by your
self:1' "All alone! How could I have a
fi no walk io that manner, while you
were at homo mornings. I deelaro I
believe you are asliMned to bo seen out
with me. Rut that is no wonder.
Every time 1 look iu the glas I am
a.Jiamed nf my own appearance. I am
getting nil dried up, and prematurely
old und homely. My natural color is
gmie, und I have changed from pink to
yellow."
"Jt is not. my fault, llo.v can I do
all the walking I have to do about my
I busines and then, after I havo dragged
myself homo, dragmvsell out again with
you ? 1 w ish 1 could ; but I can't my
dour. The best of men don't have two
pair ofieg ; ; and if you don't feel like
walking out alone, I suppose tho be:-t
thing yuu can do is to tako a tonic."
"Take a tonic at my ago exclaimed
lie, nervously. '"Perhaps poison would
bo the best medicine for my complaints,
and satisfy you completely. Then you
would onioy yourself all tho moro, nud
would turn yiurseii very strong till ci a
sudden. For my part, I take no enjoy
ment in anything, aud dou't caro how
soon I die."
'Don't cry Luey, don't. This is too
affecting, this is," was tho anxious reply
to this desponding picture. "A thunder-shower
is coming up, my dear, and
that will lay the dust, end cool tho air,
and make you feel better ; and after it's
ever, if you say so, wo'll go and take a
walk down town, for now I romcnibci I
havo neglected one important errand."
Mrs. Rush more made no answer, for
her soul was now absorbed iu the terrors
of the thunder storm, tho deafening
crashes aud blinding flashes of which
teemed to indicate that the gods were
getting double-spares in a celestial ten.
pin alley by tho light of electricity. Tho
game lasted iia hour, aud so roused
Mrs. Riishmorc, and its close so inspired
her, that sho changed hor. dress tind
asscntuJ to tho proposal of her husband,
to accompany him dtwn-town, cn what
he called a short walk.
"What a difference the shower has
made in tho air !" said Ru-slmioro, as,
with his wife clinging fast to his arm,
they began their walk. "Wo havo on.
ly to walk two miles and a half down ;
but I could wish, for your sake, it was
twico as far, it will so invigorate you."
"Coming back will double tho dis
tance," murmured sho, "and perhaps I
may be able for tho task $ but if I faiut
away, it will uot bo from want of will but
strength, my system is so enfeebled. I
feci as if I was about eighty years
old." -
"You will feel about eighteen when
wo come back, tho jaunt will so revive

, afraid to put your foot down.
'Jlio
ground won't sink under you."
"I feel like sinking into it, and as if I
had jut come from the tomb."
So much the more reason not to wish
to go back in a hurry. Don't press my
arm quito so hard, it hurts."
"The people jo.-ilo so. I fool

"Don't be alarmed. Your hoops will
protect you and give you sufficient warn

"If people wouldn't walk ou them
with their great muddy feet. My dress
is sadly soiled already with them; end
you walk on mo, too.
"I walk on you ? No, bless your soul,
love, I don't ; or, if I do, it is becauso
you cling so."
"No, it is becauso you are awkward,
Do pray havo some mercy on my bkirt.

"A pretty figure I should cut. Just

Unfortunately fur both parties, their j

But that equally anxious man, failing

determined to wheel about and return

Mrs.TSislimorc surveyed tho soiled

was that Mrs. Lucy Rushmoro was for
the timo cured of her long.chcrishod do

until timo afforded them a more favora
