Do you think 1 would joke about such a sub ject?” replied pretty Grace Ramsey to her affianced husband, as she nestled her sunny little head on his broad shoulders one bright March evening,as the dving sun glinted through tho cosy drawing-room, casting a golden glory upon tho pictures, carpet, and crimson curtains, as if trying to outvie the cheerful fire that blazed in tho highly- polished grate. "I could not refuse you anything, my sweet Grace,” he said tenderly, as he pressed her dewy lips; "but I would much rather you had asked mo any thing in tho world than this.” "Why, Frank?” she returned, look ing up into his handsome face with one of her bewitching smiles, that always finished any argument in her favor. "Well, you see, to spend one’s hon eymoon iu a new home, and at this treacherous time of year, might not be so comfortable, my pet, as a well-ap pointed hotel in tho South of France or Street, Italy,” he urged deprecatingly, feeling tho ground slipping fast away from him with her bright eyes looking shyly his, her sweet face in close prox- ity to his moustache. But it is my great wish; and I will obey you in everything after wo are married, you know, like a dutiful little wife.” she said playfully. “What put this notion in your little head?” "Grandmamma; and you must agree that she is clever. Now you sit down here, and I will take my old place on this stool,” as she cusconed herself at his feet coaxiugly. "So grandma has put this notion in to your mind?” "Yes; she said that when she was married grandpa took her straight from the church to their new home,and they were as happy as birds.” "But what time of year might that happy event hayji taken place?” he asked mischievously. "July, I believe,” Grace said de murely. “What matters tho time? Surely it could make no difference.” "That is just what does. March and July, little sweetheart, are very differ ent in our changeable climate; besides, I fancy a little bird whispered to me that their home was & tine old mansion that had welcomed several brides, whereas ours is a newly-built modern villa, that should bo well-aired before wo take possession.” "So it is,” she persisted. "Jane and grandma were there all laat week, and tho fires are blazing beautifully from morning till night Come, say ’yes’;” and her soft white arms were round his perfectly wet and peeliai|jft I most see the fellow who papenjjnB tttok • room cannot be fit for amBBArUtoy.” "Oh, that is nothing, BHU, it is of ten like that in new housa* 1 believe,” she said timidly. ft i per- damp ienough to fault of your things to be packed - ‘ r theOc ‘ ' neck, and a pair of tempting lips placed dangerously near to his; and Grace, as usual, gained her point out she had to pay her lover tho penalty of a score of kisses. "This is delightful,darling husband,” whispered Grace, as they drove to their new homo at Clapham, after tho wed ding-breakfast. "I shall ,bo Such a happy little wifey—commencing life in onr own dear home; it^ntfit be better than those big, coljjHodkirijf hotels, with staring waiters and pert chamber maids” "So long as my sweet wife is happy, I am content” ho said tenderly; “but there is a nasty east wind to-day;” this as he folded her furs around her with a lover’s anxious care. "I hope every thing is ready for us.” "Oh, you need not be uneasy; I feel sure Jane will attend to everything; she is a perfect pa ra g° n -” "Here we are at last! Welcome, dar ling wife, to your home!” he said as he led her up the flight of steps where old Jane stood with two maid-servants to receive their young mistress. Jn “I wonder why . tl lane J. L. & CO., ■nfcBT, JWffiSKA* jg+reii. looks so anx ious," thought Grace; "I hope every thing is all right. Oh dear! what should I do if there was anything gone wrongP Frank would never cease teasing me. Where are the stair-carpets, Janer’ she whispered, when they were in the draw ing-room. “I thought everything was straight” "So it was, but the dratted cistern took to leaking this morning, and be ing Easter-time no man can do got for loto or money. I never saw such a gingerbread house as this in all my born days!” she said gloomily. "Can't you manage to put them down, so that Frank won’t notice it?" the poor little bride faltered. "Put them down to be spoilt! Why, they are already wet through in some places; but here comes the master,” as she bustled out of the room. "This certainly looks cosy and home like.” said Frank Wharton at ho clasp ed his bride in a loving embrace, and seated her in ad easy-ebair by the fire: "but what is the matter with that wall? Whj, I believe it’s damp, the paper ie I must insist that another moment,” rfa; sharply for Jane. "Wh; mit your mlitro— to oo: vault?” he satf tCi kill a dog.” “I am sure, sir.it mine,” said poor Jane; say that the paper in new booses fiftoa sweats— at least, that’s what tfit man styled it” "Is there no other roonhALto receive us?” he asked; "surely tlmmmlng-room would be better?” "Well, you see, sir, thMIoveis what they call slow cobustion. w "Slow what?” he said, Hmghlng in spite of himself. - "I don’t know exactly nounce the name, but it’s n sorry thing at the best, and won’t aoOfeohow, try as you will” "It’s a beautiful grats^ Frank,” in terposed Grace; "it’s one of the mod ern ones, and is called Slow combus tion.” "It’s dratted slow!” gambled Jane. "I’ve spent three-quartern of an hour over it and can’t get a flfifi to burn, so it’s slow enough in all cascience.” "Never mind. Jane: iHn beautifully warm and comfortable—Indeed I am, dear Frank.” "Well, I suppose we AHMt make the best of it now,” he said, trying to ap pear cheerful. "I know what I’ll do/* murmured Grace; "mus c always suits Frank; I’ll play and sing some of his favorites.” In a few minutes the little cloud was blown over, and the pair were as turtle-dova, as Grate sang song ter song to FrankVinteo* delight. "Wh&t on earth are they doing in the kitchen?” she thoughts "I must go and see. I feel sura tfiey will break tho grate to pieces in a minute. Oh dear, oh dear! I wilh I had taken dear Frank’s advice. What are you Oil do ing, and where is the dinner?” said Gracj. "It is nearing the time.’ 1 "Dinner, indeed! If you get supper it will be a wonder to me,” gasped Jane, as, armed with an ImmensMue- brush, she and her assistants were making frantic raids upon the kitchen er, while tho smoke pound out in vol umes, nearly choking poor Grace, who stood the image of despair, gazing at the fowls, fish, and joints, that lay strewn about, getting peppered with blacks. "What’s to be done, Jane?” she stammered, as she covered her golden head to evade the showeg of soot, and caught up her satin robes nervously; "it Ts past six o’clock, and Frank was just saying he felt rather hungry. Can nothing be doue? Couldn’t you get some hotel to send In adtnaor?” "Where’s the hotel in this outland ish hole?" snorted Jane, as she thrust the broom savagely up into the offend ing draughts; "I can only assure you that no dinner can bo cooked to-<tty in this gingerbread affair.” Scpino^nd hope from the faces of any of tfie scared servants, Grace returned to her husband, and In her pretty coax ing manner, broke the unhappy tidings to him, and in less than ten mautes a telegram was dispatched to tfe Gros- venor Hotel, and a rooherche little din ner ordered. "So that littlo difficulty is over, my darling,” he said, as they drove to Pimlico; "but don’t you think it might have been better if yeji haAMstened. to my advice and spent our. < honey moon at one of those big cold hotels?” this with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. "As you are mighty, be merciful," she said, laughing merrily. "I had no idea that tho stove wouldn’t cook, or "That the drawing-room was damp,” he added; "or "Fie! is that being merciful, sir,” she pouted. But further domestic argument was broken by a waiter opening the broug- h&m-door, anuv rank assisting her out into the comfortable hotel. "Thank Heaven we are in a civil iced place at l&st!” murmured the new Ben edict fervently, as they seated them selves at an elegantly arranged dinner- table, laden with flowers, bright silver, and sparkling glass; "this is comfort, at any rate. They both enjoyed their dinner and pledged each other in rare wine, and said, and did any amount^ of silly things, doubtless as’ thoiaands of brides and bridegrooms have done be fore; and, if trutn must be confessed, Grace was sadly loth to return to her villa at Clapham; trat she was a true daughter of Eve, and determined to keep her own counsel from her lord and master. "Here’s a pretty go, Miss Grace—1 begyour pardon, I mean Mrs. Whar ton,” said Jane OS the pretty bride em tcred the breakfast-room next mornini looking as fresh and sweet as a blush- rose iu her azure-blue morning-robe, with its clouds of lace around her fair neck and arms. "Why, Jane, what is the matter now?” she said anxiously; "aurelv you can manage to get ns some breakfast of some kind?” "That’s right enough solar,” groan ed Jane; "but there’s no water for the master's bath, it’s leaked out somehow through some dratted pipe and soaked your wedding-dress, and the cake that your poor dear grandma sent home last night while you were out at dinuer. I went and unpacked it at once, thinking the dress would be better laid loosely like than crumpled up, aud there’s the splendid cake and satin dress all of a pulp; the flowers, too, all soppy and spoilt.” This was the proverbial last straw, and proved too mooh for poor Grace, who threw herself on the coach, and covering her sweet face, burst into a fit of tears, exclaiming: “Never will I try to get my own way again! What will dear Frank say? Oh, oh! he will never forgive me—I know he won’t.” In another moment she felt a strong pair of arms lift her from the couch, and a tender voice whispering in her ear: "Ton are right, my darling wifay; I will not forgive you unless yon dry those eyas and have yoar breakfast, andthsn obey yoar lord. np immedi ately far the Continent, whither I mean to take yoe. ’ ’ "But what is td.be done, Frank, about the coke?

"Yes, Frank,” she replied earnestly, "truly and peacefully so, because I have learnt a lesson—to listen and re spect my husband’s wishes.” "And I am the happiest man in tho universe for having commenced onr honeymoon under dinloulties, and have won the sweetest of wives.” % 1‘iti "Is she dead yet?” 1 should grieve to hear that she woo, I am referring to the good-natnred, ever-ready, old-fashioned grandmother of days gone by. She was my grand* mother and yours, and, indeed, every body else’s, when one was needed. I remember her as gray-haired, wrinkle faced, and hands crippled with the hard work of pioneer days. I remem ber her sympathetic voice and soft touch—her steel-bowed spectacles—her quaint old snuff-box—her bustling look and anxious tones as she came in the back way and called out: "And so that boy’s had to give up and go to bed, eh? Dear me! hut It’s too bad, though I guess it’s nothing serious, and I nope you won’t worry. Let’s see him. Ah—um! Stomach out of order and he’s got some fever. Had my children taken this way dozens of times and in two days they were out playing.” It was worth a month’s sickness to sec her bustle around after horse radish leaves to make drafts for tha feet; cloths to wet in cold water for the head—mustard for tho back of the neck—a bit of rhubarb to”swcotoa the stomach, and to hoar her say: "Well, now, who’d thought it; but don’t worryf Mercy on me! but my Dan’l has been sioker’n that fifty differ ent times and Isn’t dead yet. Just you go right down and finish your baking and leave me to take care of him. I just dote on sick folks!” And didn’t things turn ont just as she predicted? And three days after didn't she come down into the back lot where I was eating sour crab-apples aud fling up her hands and exclaim: "For the land’s sake! but does this boy mean to kill himself afore tho summer is out!” If mother had a pain in her side she ran over to see grandma.

Ho remembers tho park fondly, and is Impelled afterwards to return to it. Now his mind is well, his spirit is proud. Tho same park ia there, but tho visitor has no power to see it. He may begrudge tho time taken in tho trip. , A farmer goes across a fine field. He discovers a Canada thistle, and a panlo takes hold of him. He goes home and endeavors to affect the minds of his sons with the same alarm. They must all got their boos and search for thistles, or the farm will be overrun and they will all bo ruined. A L visiting this farm, goes across same field. She discovers a long- looked for plant. Her heart Is all •glow, and shp U|ea soeh • #sw of the sarroutARhgsfflBF^s wfterwards sits down and writes to a friend that she will ever regret this friend might not have been there just then to share tho scone. She would even have guessed that her host, the farmer now ganic-stricken over the thistle, would ohly have to go to that same spot k» get the emotions which she enjoyeX Now let us imagine that her friend, to whom she writes, by some chance were traversing that field and there heard of the death of husband or (ftfild. All the beauties of the scene would still be there, but the sad effect which they had on the farmer would bo intensified ten thousand times in the mind of the re cipient of auoll news.
