Mary Randall wu in a difficulty. The time mutt come when her choice mutt be made between two persons for a partner In life, one of whom lore recommended, v- with all the fervency of youthful affec ? Von, mindful only of the pretent; while cold reason, look'ng forward to the future, and not troubled by the present, was as strongly pressing the ela^ms of the other. ? In the eoc-iety in which she moved, Mary Randall waa regarded as a girl who not ,only had been favored by nature with many physical ad rnments, but w':o had received from*her, also, thoe beaut es of mind which make a Woman truly lovable. On the g od foundation which nature had f laid, careful Instruction had reare 1 a glo__ lions character, which governed her actions well?so well that 1: waa said by some rt one. and confirmed by every one, that Mary Randall never even parley d with evil when she knew it to be such. Of coarse, as a rule, such a person must be a mark in soc ety, and Mary Randall Was no exception; for. in her sphere, fhe received the admiration and attention of many young men. Bat two, however, were looked apoa as ia any degree likely to be suecosfol. They were Charlie Maynard T. and Frank Morton. The difference be Iween theee two yonng men wae marked. Charlie Maynard was han Isome, pleasant, _ and oonaequeatly a j.nt in ao lety. Frank Morton* woe rather plain ia appearance, and, the of h pleaaant In manner, yet was reticent, end, on the whole, wae not a man to show well in a drawing-room; but those who knew him best, knew that there waa great depth in the man; all acknowledged that he poeeeoeed many sterling qualities. Charlie Maynard was the moot sociable, and in looking ia his frank, open face, there wae ao mack an the exterior to admire, that very few saw further; these who did, to knew that there was ne strength of charscter to support hint, and their vie we were M? strengthened by the fact that he sever refused the glass of wiae offered him, becauee, as he eaid, " anything to be sociable.'* Frank Morton, on the other hand, often fell in the good opinion of some, by his steady refusal to take ereu the m at *"sociable" of glasses Mary Ilandsll waa one of the few who ft noticed theee differences, and they were stroagly marked to her, for she loved Charlie Maynard, and often had been grieved when he had showutke weakness of his character, aad had been led to compart this weakness w4th the stability of Freak Morton, fche had often, on tin se to occasions, wished that Charlie was like Frank Morten. Bat to retort. ' Mary Randall we* in a difficu1 ty,because the*e two young men had proposed ; and _ as both oould not be ec~epted, a clio ce most be am do. It was a serious thing for her to make a choice for life, and shs f It r the responsibility, sad had asked tint in wkieh to consider; but no w i it# j or od a as near when ado Units answer must be given, and sbo was ns unde ided na win* she had asked time. She sat down, determined to think over the situation, and cotae to a definite decisioa. First, she regarded their prospects for life. Both had the same trade ?they were of the saperior order of mechanics; both were indnstrioua; whether both were saving or not, she d d not know; ' evidently here was no help for a solutVn of the difficulty ; both held the same posi tioo in society: here wm uo nojp. Thus Mary thought, and still there was I no polution ; and aa it became more evldaut 9 to her that thought could do nothing, to much stronger became the calls of lore for its a decision in favor of Charlie. And she was well nigh decided in her choice, but there wa- a strange feeling in her h art, a feeling of misgiving; and, obeying it, she still hesitated, when, just at this favorable opportunity, cool, far-sighted reason whispered to her, "Charlie drinka" The feeling of misgiving was explained; this it was which had restrained her Put _iuch of its effects were lost, for love, loo, Y whispered in her ear, and what did he say T "Yes, he drinks, but only sociably?he is too high minded to go further." lx>oking at the aituation with eyei of love, this seemed a very probable view; *11 and again Mary wavered?but not long, I for immediately reason thundered in her ears: "If, in prosperity, he drinks socially, what might he not do in adversity ?" ifi| The question came home to her with force:?*' What might he not do in adverBi'yT.And, as she thought of what he - ? ? ? ? s . it -i ? A 1- - r a\. _ might do, a lie stiuuaerea at mo uepiu 01 iim te* pit on whose brink Charlie was standing, all But her mind was now decided. In a mat* terof a lifetime in which so many interests were involved, she could not run even the smallest risk. When, a few days after, Charlie came, and received a negative answer, no amount of pleading could change her mind, for the decision at which she had arrived had weakened very much her love for him, while she had determined to banish It from her heart altogether. Frank Morton also came for his answer, not with hopes, for he nad not looked a upon his chances very favorably. Very niuoh surprised was lie, tbon. whon Mary to^l him that, though she did not lovo him now, yet she did respect him, and if he chose to take her with that uuder* standing. the would try ard learn to love him. The temptation waa great?too great to be resisted-?for his love for her wag that which came fr<un a great, noble heart. Tak:n<? her by the hand, he prom, ieed that, go far as he wag able, nothing ghould happen to make her regret her , choice; and so they vert engaged. Having nothing to wait for Mary agreed to an early wedding; and, consequently, six months from that time, they were married, and neither could then nndo their choice. Being desirous of improving his proepects, Frank Morton removed his res. idence to a neighboring tcrwn; and there, industriously engaged, we will leave him, and see what has become of his former rival, Charlie Maynard. Showing the fickleness and shallowness of his character, he had given up his former love for Mary Randall, and had be stowed all his attentions on a pretty, but light-minded, damsel, nam?d Kate Kempton : and, as his attentions became more and more marked every day, no one was surprised to hear, finally, that they were engaged to each other. Kate Kempton, having no natural strength of character, and none of that training which would have made it strongfait ha fairt nn didajanranf futnra of Charlie's sociable qualities, and so had not hesitated in the least to choose him. With her it had not been a choice for life, for she scarcely thought further than the present They, too, having no cause for delay, were married early, and about one month after the marriage of Frank Morton and Mary Randall. Hearing good reports from Frank, and knowing that he had been successful in his undertaking, Charlie followed his example, and removed to the same manufacturing town. Ten years hart passed, and If you should go now to the same town, and inquire for Frank Morton, there would be pointed out to yon a man neatly dressed, and of fine appearance. If yon should inquire of his character and standing, any one wonld tell yon that for true nobility no man could be more distinguished; while in offices of trust he may be found 44 most faithful of the faithful.1* If you should ask him the explanation of his rise to snch a position I- from one comparative lowly, he would point to his wife as the canse of It all Aek her If she ever regretted the choice he made ten years ago, and she wonld tell yon that then the made a choice the fall valae of which the will never be able to know. Bat how did all this happen ? Simply in this way:?Being industrious, when he had removed to the town, Morten soon found work, and what he found to do he did with all his might; and so, being of a saving nature, he laid np money against the bed times to come. They had come, but he was prepared, and, weathering them safely, had gone on in his coarse of independence. Soon his worth became known; and he had risen from one position to another, until finally he had gained the position of * master " In his trade. # Mary Randall, when she gave herself to Frank Morton, had given only respect) but eoon ehe did giro him that love which is, indeed, love, end to-day Mrs. Morton does not regret the choice she made when she was In difficulty as Mary Randall. Far different from this Is the history of Charlie Maynard through the last ten years. No one whom yon should question would be able to tell you anything good of Lf ?_ t- _ ?- 11. turn, in sp; earance no u nio&ioa, uis carriage to sneaking. and nothing about him Indicates nobility or even respectability. His haunt to the gin-palace, his home to in n low dsn ; end his onoe pretty wife to now careworn, dragged down with sorrow. How did all this happen T Charlie Mayn&rd, when he went to that place, was an industrious man; his Industry gained Its reward ; he obtained work; but he did not know how to save. " Sufficient for the present" was his motto; and consequently, when adversity came, he suffered its worst effects. Having no work, he became din couraged ; and that social tat-to which he had formed, held out prospects of relief from care for the present In what was called a sociable glass. That was the beginning of his dsstructlon; and down, down, down he went, until now he oan go no further in this world. The once lightminded Kate Kempton to now weighed down with sorrow, and as onoe she cared only for the present, now all her thouglite are for the future, when she shall be freed for ever. Bitterly dot she repent her choice; for she knows too well * what ho will do in adversity." Advantwrea of Crying. Borne of the greatest modern physicians, chiefly English and French, have written treatises on the advantages of groaning and crying, in general, and especially during surgical operations. They contend that groaning and crying are two grand operationa by which nature allays au^uish ; that those patients who give way to their natural feelings, more speedily recover from accidents and operations than those who suppose it unworthy a man to betray such symptoms of cowardice as either to groan or cry. One tells of a man who reduced his pulse from one hundred and twenty* six to sixty, in the course of a few hours, by giving full vent to his e mot on a If people are at all unhappy about anything, let thera go into their rooms and oom or| themselves with a loud boo boo, and they will feel a hundred per oent. better after* ward. In accordance with the above, cry. ing of children should not be too greatly discouraged, If It is systematically re* pressed, the result may be St Vitus's dance, epllcptio fits, or some other disease of the nervous system. Wbst Is natural is nearly always useful, and nothing can be more natural than the crying of children when anything occurs to give them either physical or mental pain. ^ A Tlsit to Gibraltar* An Amercan tourist writes to the Springfield Republican from Gibralier: Officers stationed at Gibraltar may com- . plain of its monotony and sigh for a more inviting station, but to the passing traveler it it a place of various attractions.. The town itself, to be sure, is not beautiful. The streets are narrow, the houses for the most part low and common place, and the shops make but a poor display. The passero-bj may interest one at first, but soon grow wearisome. There is little to amuse one in the numerous bodies of dirty white-clad soldiers detailed with pick and shovel to work upon the fortifications. The ragged, filthy, abject-look' ing Spaniards who have had the misfortune to be born upon the rock, and who are called in consequence by their lord* and mastbrs rock scorpions, only excite one's pity or disgust. The officers in canvass leggings, tweed coats and knlckerr bockers, whom one sees constantly riding by on their long-limbed, thin-necked hacks, are so supercilious in their bearing, bo heartless to the miserable scorpion# aforesaid, that one is exasperated by the sight; for it is a sad truth tbat John Bull, even at the present time, is not always what he should be towards the natives of his dependencies, any more than some of our Southern friends were toward the blacks under the old rtgivM. But when you leave the streets behind and stroll ia the direction of Earopa point, you find yourself amid green trees >/! n*uun(1v mm* amn a traggling wall, with tower# tad loophole# for musketry, now hardily climbing' tome steep aecent, now plunging abruptly down to the bottom of soma romantic del!, bat all the while working ita #er,?*ntine way aeroaa the entire peninsula, and only grudgingly offering, here and there, a narrow and carefully flanked gateway for one'* paasage In end out Batteriee lie beyond pointing their gone ageiaat the Mooriah shore. To the left, e mile away, at the foot of the rock, which here in almoet too ateep to climb, atand the embowered residence* of the governor and other official#; a aituatlon full of charm, the marsive fortreaa above them, the great tea before them, with it# fleets of white-aailed, lucloualy-laden all pa, at time* gliding by with n motion acarcely perceptible, at time# bowling ever the glittering waves with every ineh of canvass drawing. Or yon may obtain an excellent horse, and crossing the long cao*ew*y?undermined and ready at a moment's notice to be blown into a million of fragments with whataoevar of threatening import may be upon it?that leads to the mainland, ride into the Spanish linee. The seatriee will not detain you, and yon wilt find yourself in a region where progress ia unknown. Tou will see whitewashed mansions, apparently built of plaster, ia the centra of plantations wherein are mea laborousiy hoeing with apadee fastened to poles ten feet in length or more, and plowing with e machine that at every do. an rods moat be a topped and tinkered ' for half an hour at leaat. You will bo beset by beggars along the wayside who will accost you as you approach with every blessing Imagination can conceive, and as you pass them by unheeded will call down upon your head evary cnrse man or fiend could be afflicted with. You will come upon half milee of donkeye. some tricked out gayly, but moetly heavily laden with boxes of figs and lemona and orange#; their men driven trudging moodily by their aide, beating and swearing at them moat unmercifully, the boydrivera performing variona antics, and, when tired of walking, taking a hop, akip, and jump, landing aatride the little beaata, till at times you may ace half a dozen urchlna piled on top of % load of boxes, with knotty little legs staggering right donkily beneath the outrageous imposition. When evening approaches you can stroll through the cool gun-galleries w;th a civil soldier, and seating yourself in a roomy saloon, ornamented with 82 pound, era, look out upon water, land, and sky, upon painted felucca sails, upon green stretches of plain and gray mountain* peaks, upon golden, purple and rotecolored clouds, the rough hewn rook through which they show seeming likerustic frames to these enjuisito gems l&ndscape.
