MY BACHELOR UNCLE'S STORY.
"Harry, my boy, you are not going in
that atrocious piece of felt ?"
I clapped my hand rather nervously
to my hat.
"Why not, uncle Simon ? isn't it re
spectable enough ?"
"Harry, you are my favorite nephew.
Sit down, and you.shall hear how I lost
my wife—that should have been—
through.a bad hat."
I passively obeyed.
"Weston Thorn and I were room
mates in our young days, and, as per
verse fate would have it, we both fell
desperately in love with the same girl—
Fanny Trevor. Talk of your modern
beauties—l never saw a prettier crea
ture than Fanny was : cheeks like an
apple blossom, sir, and even that fairly
made you wild with their coquettish
sparkle. She wore her auburn hair in
bright braids within a net, and I've li
ked ever since."
"Simon,' said Weston Thorn, one
night, 'l'm in love."
"So am I, Thorn," I answered.
"And I'm in love with Fanny Tre-
vor."
"Are you said I. 'So am I.
"Weston and I looked at each other
steadily for about five minutes.
"So,' said he, "will you gave her up '?"
"No 1"
"Nor CHI. So here's to the health
of him who wins tare brightest jewel
that ever shone on human breast 1"
"He tossed off a glass of champagne
as he spoke. I pledged him ; and al
though forty years and more have pass
ed, yet I taste the sparkle of that bright
wine whenever I remember the hour.
"Well, our twin suits progressed
with varying success for weeks. Some
times Fanny made Thorn desperate by
dancing with me—sometimes she woke
the spirit of Cain the murderer in my
heart by wearing Weston Thorn's white
roses in her belt. At length, one day,
we went arm and arm to ask Mr. Tre
vor's permission formally to address his
daughter. Papa Trevor was a jolly old
soul, and laughed quite heartily at. our
MD it:able rivalry.
".'Go in, boys, and win,' he exclaimed.
'Fanny may take her choice. Which
ever it is, she'll be pretty sure of a good
husband l''
"'Weston,' said I, on our way home,
I shall invite Fanny to that picnic up
the river to-morrow. No place more
favorable to the declaration of love
than umbrageous shadows and green
river shores I'
."Just my opinion,' said Thorn. I
shall also write a note of invitation.
"I took special pains to keep a sharp
look out on the next morning. Hurry
as I would, however, Thorn walked out
of the house, kid-gloved and Panama
hatted, just two minutes and a half be
fore I could succeed in tying my con
founded cravat to suit myself. I gave
my hair one, parting rake with the un
yielding bristles of the brush, dived into
the wardrobe for my hat, and started
full run for the street. I could always
walk faster than Thorn, so I felt little
apprehension on the score of not over•
taking him.
"I had a dim idea that the young la
dies in the hotel corridor looked rather
commically at me as I sprang down
stairs, and the little boys in the street
grinned-and commented as I passed, but
I was in too great a hurry to pause for
reflection, until a full length mirror,
standing by way of advertisement at the
door of' a looking glass and picture
frame store, suddenly showed me to my
self—a young gentleman got up in the
extreme of fashion, all but the bead,
which might have belonged to a Bowery
loafer !
"Good fates ! what a villainous bat !
it would have made a rowdy of Lord
Palmerston himself—rusty, battered,
seedy ! I thought I had committed that
hat to the flames weeks ago ! Weston
Thorn must have fished it out from its
obscurity, and put it in provoking con
venience to my hand. All my own
fault—of course it was ; why hadn't I
the .common sense to know what I was
putting on my head ?
" I felt hurriedly in my pockets.—
There was only just change enough to
meet the exigencies of the day. Zbere
was no help for it—back I must trot.
"The sun had mounted high enough
to make the homeward walk no pleasant
thing to take in a hurry. Of course, my
tremb'ing fingers selected the wrong
key at first, and it was some time before
I could turn the itards so as to admit
myself. However, in rwalkedat last,

yoking neatness—and it was no small
aggravation to my state of mind t A
think I could not blame . Thorn for m
own carelessness. As I turned to go
out, the dressing glass displayed to me
such an enflamed and perspiring visage
that a moment's delay in cologne sprink
ling was indispensable. This comple

a run.

"'No, sir; she has gone to the boat
with Mr. Thorn.
"I could have stamped with rage. The
boat left at eight precisely. I then
glanced at my watch, and saw that it
wanted just three minutes , and . a half
of that hour. Perhaps I yet, might be
in time. I recollect little of that chase
to the pier, save that it was a series of
diving under horses' heads, skilful dart
ings around fat old ladies, and abraiding
my ankles against boxes and barrels.
"'Has the boat gone?' I gasped, too
breathless for distinct speech, as I ap
proached the pier.
"'Don't know,' said a heartless steve
dore; 'do you suppose there ain't but
one boat in the world ?'
"If I could but have been a magis

just been drawn on hoard, and the boat
was swinging away from the pier, amid
ringing bells, groaning ropes and gush

despair. I could surely spring "over
those few feet of heaving, turbid water,
and I leaped forward—only, however,
to find myself drawn back by strong
arms !

friend the stevedore. Do• you want to

"1 didc't much care whether I was or
not at that moment, for I had just
caught sight of Weston Thorn on the
upper deck, waving his handkerchief to
me, and the blue ribbons of Fanny's gip

"When they came back they were en

she, like myself, is old and gray. But
she was very pretty then. And now,
Master Harry," concluded my uncle Si
mon, "go and put on a respectable
beaver, and remember that your uncle's
whole destiny timed on the pivot of an
old hat!"
I followed my uncle Simon's advice,
secretly remembering Rocbefoucauld's
maxim, that "in the sorrows of our best
friends there is something agreeable to
us i" for, if my uncle had word' the right

not have inherited his Fortune. It is a

A Bur Buo STORY.-A few evenings
since, in our private club, there was a
learned dissertation on the subject
"Bed bugs and their remarkable tenac
ity of life." One asserted of his own
knowledge that they could be boiled
and then come to lire. Some had soak
ed them for hours in turpentine. without
any fatal consequences. Old Hanks
who had been listening to an outsider,
here gave his evidence in corroberation
of
.the facts. Says he : "Some years
ago, 1 took a bedbug to an iron foundry
and dropping it into a ladle where the
melted iron was, had it run into a skil
let. Well my old woman had used the
skillet pretty constantly for the last six
years, and here the ; other day it got
broke all to smash, and what do you
think, gentlamen, that'ere insect just
walked out of his hole, where he'd been
laying like a frog in a rook, and made
tracks for his old roost up stairs 1 But 1"
added he by way of parenthesis "he
looked mighty pale ?"
A DELICATE DESSERT.--Lay half a do

boiling water to cover them. In a few
minutes they will be swollen to three or
four times their original size. Novi
grate loaf sugar and a little nutmeg over
them, and dip on enough sweet cream to
make a nice sauce, and you will have a
simple and delicious desert that will
rest lightly on the stomach--and it is
easily prepared. Leave out the cream,
and it is a valuable receipe for 'zick
room cookery."

r How Some People Marry.
A young man meets a pretty face in
'the ball-room, falls in love with it, mar
ries it, goes to housekeeping with it>
and boasts of having a home and a wife
to grace it. The chances, are nine to
ten that he has neither I Bar pretty
face ; gets to be an old story, or becomes
faded, or freckled, or fretted ; and as
the face was all he wanted, all he paid
attention to, all he sat up with, all he
bargained for, all be swore to love,
honor and protect, he gets sick of his
trade, knows a dozen faces which he
likes better, gives np staying at home
evenings, consoles himself with cigars,
oysters, and politics, and looks upon
his.home as a very indifferent boarding
house. . A family of children grow up
about him ; but neither he nor his 'face'
knows anything about training them ; so
they grow up helter-skelter, made tops
of when babies, dolls when boys and
girls, drudges when men and women ;
and so they pass year after year; and no
one quiet, homely boar is known in the
whole- house. .
Acother young man becomes enam
ored of a "fortune." He waits upon it
to parties. dances the polka with it,
exchanges billet doux with it, pops the
question to it, gets "yes" from it, takes
i to the parson, weds and calls it "wife,"
takes it home, sets'ap an establishinent
with it, introduces it to his friends, and
says(poor fellow) that he, too, is married,
and 'has got a home. It is false He
is not married, he has no home. He is
in ills wrong boX, but it is too late to
get out of it. He might as well hope to
escape from his coffin.. His friends
congratulate him, and he has to grin
and bear it. They praise the house, the
furniture, the new cradle, the new Bible,.
the new baby ; and then bid the "for:
tune" and him who husbands it good
mornings As if he had known a good
morning since he and that gilded for
tune were declared to be one.
Take another case. A young woman
is smitten with a pair of whiskers.—
Curled hair never before had such
charms. She "sets her cap" for them;
they take. The delighted whiskers
make an offer, proffering themselves
both in exchange for her heart. The
dear miss is overcome with magnanimity
closes the bargain, carries home the
prize, shows it to pa and ma, calls her
self engaged to it, thinks there never
was such a pair of whiskers before, and
in a few weeks they are married. Mar
ried ! Yes, the world calls it so, and
we will. What is the result? A short
honeymoon, and then unlucky discovery
that they are as unlike as chalk and
cheese, and not to' be made one, though
all the priests in Christendom pro
nounce them so.
THE MAN WHO WON'T PAY THE PHAN
TER.-A country editor, who works for
glory and prints for trust, is responsible
for the following anathemeticat aspira
tions on the man that won't pay the
'printer :—"May he have sore eyes and
a chestnut burr for an eye stone. May
he every day of his life be more despotic
than the Dey of Algiers. May he never
be permitted to kiss a handsome woman.
May his boots leak; may his gun bang
fire, and . his fishing lines break. May
his coffee be sweetened with flies, and
his 'soup seasoned with spiders. May
his friend ran off with his wife, and his
children take the whooping cough. May
his cattle die of murrain, and his pigs
destroy his garden. May a regiment of
cats caterwaul' under his window by
night. May his cows give sour milk and

FASHION.
We clip-the following from Prentice's
tuisville Journal, which is, decidedly
the most sharp and truthful article on
the subject we have yet seen ?`
Fashion is the conservator of society
throughout the civilized world. It
regulates the habits, customs, and de
portment of patrician and plebeian—.
peer and parvenu. Barrington quaintly
but truthfully remarks in his "Sketches"
that "dress has a corresponding influ
ence upon• address." When the dress
is coarse, careless; and begrimed—the
beard unshaven, the hair unkempt, and
the hat "shocking bad," -the effect pro
duced is coarse conversation, careless
habits, and unpolished deportment. A
well-dressed -person is disposed to the
genteel and gravitates to the polite; for
it would be vastly inconsistent with the
attire to be otherwise, no matter how
coarse the natural instinct may be.
Society in general tolerates the well
dressed person and repridiates the con
trary, no matter whether the latter be
the result of studied eccentricity or
weakness of habit. But there is a vast
distinction between the male dandy and
the gentleman, equally so between the
female dandy and the lady, so far as
dfess is concerned. Fashion, in the
exercise of arbitrary power, regulates
the temporary custom of dress, and all
submit to the exaction as a necessity of
social law. The serving-girl spends her
hard-earded wages in imitation of the
refined dress of her mistress. What
becomes the one- is ill-fltted for the
other. The happy contrast of color,
the well-chosen garment of taste, is tra
vestied in the flaunting ribbons, the
gorgeous flowers, and the loud pattern
of the imitator.
As a -general rule there is more ex
cuse for carelessness in dress in 'man
than in woman. The cares and -vicissi
tudes of business, and the many reverses
which-fortune-brings upon man, are fre
quent apologists for unwonted neglect
in him ; while a slattiirn • can have no
refuge from _the odium necessarily en
tailed. The wife-generally exercises a
healthy influence in- this regard over the
husband. The most palpable instance
of this kind was publicly noticed in the
case of the late Senator Douglass.--
Previously to his marriage with Miss
Cutts, of Washington, Judge Douglass
was the incarnation of the sloven.—
Hardly had he mated a . day, when the
public was agreeably surprised to find
him the pattern of neatness. The dirty,
careless statesman was =translated into
the well-clad, dignified Senator. All
who remember this transformation must
admit the benefit of the change.
Among the well known and distin
guished authors of the day, Willis was
ever the grand, great dandy of the- liter
ati. He was always 'on his shape—
Tall, well-moulded, graceful in the ex
treme, his dress • was faultless, and his
style unexceptionable. His hair clus
tered in silken curls about a well-shaped
head, betokening the genius of his char•
actor; and he would have passed cur
rent for the modern Adonis, were it not
for a gait at once finical and dandyiah.
Nov that he is in the "sere and yellow
leaf," he still struggles with the decay
which time has wrought, clinging with
fondness to the time long past, and in
blissful forgetfulness of the crow's-feet
and wrinkles of his-face.
Greeley, the sage philosopher of Gra
ham bread, Fourierism, and Abolition,
owes half his reputation to the battered
hat and old white coat so well and per
severingly worn by him. His gait is
almost without comparison—something
between a stringhalt and a spavin ; and
he shambles along, looking for all the
world like a street beggar or an inmate
of the poorhouse on the rampage. Be
nevolent individuals, ignorant of his
identity, are said to force coppers into
his hands, in the, exercise of the great
spirit of charity. His wife is reported
occasionally to steal away his torn un
whisperabbas,substituting another pair,
while the abstruse philosopher is igno
rant of the change. It would be safe to
wager a basket of Heidsick that no one
would imagine, - seeing Greeley perambu
late Broadway, that such a miserable
looking, wretchedly-clad individual was
the ; learned pundit of the Tribune, and
the generalissimo of the.famed "first bat
tle of Bullßua."
Fitz Greene Haßeck presented the
appearance of anything but - the - ideal of
a poet. William Cullen Bytant 'assim
ilates the imaginary personal of "a Bank
President, 'Be'eretary of an 'lnsurance
,Company, or a 'well-fed and successful

Berman than a poet; although his pleas
ant face might indicate the charitable
propensity 'Rich induced him to inti
mate to the "woodman" that it would
be highly and eminently proper to "awe
that tree."
The pictorials now•a-days are busy in
publishing the counterfeit presentments
of the great military, naval, and civil
heroes of the day. There was a time
when the same wood cut would answer
for the portrait of Mary, Qaeen of
Scots, or Polly Bodine. Nous aeons
ehangee tout cela. General Grant's phis
would never answer for Sherman, nor
Rosecrans for Burnside. Hunter would
never do for Sigel, nor Sickles for Fre
mont. This is now the fashion of liter
ature, and the public taste is confused
between the stories of Bonner's Ledger,
and the portraits in Harper and Leslie.
One of the remarkable incidents of
fashion in this country is the difference
which its votaries exhibit in dress. A
New Yorker dresses differently from a
Philadelphian or Bostonian ; while a
Baltimorean is an admixture of all three
—both in male and female attire. Louis
ville is said to be the city of pretty wo
men and mocking birds—a carious asso
ciation of beauty and ornithology.—
There is certainly a plethora of mock
ing -birds, who whistle their plagiarisms
in almost every barber shop and saloon
in this city. But of pretty women there
can never be a surfeit—the more the
merrier; and Louisville can really boast
of her female beauty. One of the fash
ionable eccentricities of the Louisville
ladies is the universal dobning of the
little, saucy, gypsey hat, which has be
come epidemical to a degree. It sets
off and well becomes a youthful, bud
ding girl, bat is abhorrent upon the face
of age. The staid, stately, three story
and attic bonnet is sadly in the vocative
among the mature, who persietingly and
viciously adopt this little gypsey hat,
to the damage of the patent-right of
youth.
As a safeguard to this peculiar insti
tution of Louisville, would it not ba
a good suggestion to petition the Com
mon Council for a protective ordinance
—punishing by severe penalty any mar
ried woman or female of uncertain age
who wears a gypsey hat, unless it be a
bride pending the honeymoon ?
fir During the reign of Bonaparte
the arrogant soldiery affected to despise
all civilians whom they, in their bar
rand, one day essayed a general officer :
rack-room slang termed Pekin& Talley-
What's the meaning of that word
'Pekin ?'
"Oh," replied the General, "we call
all those Pekins who are not military."
"Exactly," said Talleyrand, "just as
we call all people military who are not
civil."
eir A. little boy had lived some time
with a penurious uncle. The latter was
one day walking out, with the child at
his side, when a friend accompanied by
a greyhound, accosted him. The little
fellow never having seen a dog of slim
and slight texture, clasped the creature
round the neck with the impassioned
cry, "0, doggie 1 doggie l and did ye
live wi' your uncle, too, that you are so
thin 1"
Jfir "I don't know what you mean by
not being an z . ishman," said a gentle
man who was hiring a boy. "You say
you were born in Ireland." "Och, your
honor, if that's all," said the boy, "small
blame to that. Suppose your cat were
to have kittens in the oven would they
be loaves of bread 2"
