'ONLY A COUSIN."1 How the rain patters against thewindows of your office! How sombre, and gloomy, and cheerless, it looks there! Your little office-boy looks more like an imp of dark ness than anything else, as-he sits crouched in the corner, with his elbows on his knees and his chin in his hands. You button your overcoat tight to your chiin, (cut possible clients,) and run over to see your cousin Kitty. Ah! that is worth while! A bright blazing fire; sofa wheeled up to it, and Kitty sitting there, looking so chaniiing iir her pretty neglige. - She looks up- sweetly and tranquilly, and says: "Now thit's a good Hai-iy , sit down by me, and be ageeable." Well, you "sit down," .(just as close as you like, too!) tell her all the down-town male gossip; consult her confidentially abou trimming your whiskers; and desire her candid, unbiased opinion about the pro priety and feasibility, with the help of some Macassar, of coaxing out a moustache! Then you make a foray into her work-basket, tangling s.ools most unmercifully, and read ing over all the choice bits of poetry that women are so fond of clipping from the newspapers. Then you both go into the china closet, and she gets you a tempting little luncheon; and you grow suddenly merry, and have a contest which shall make the worst pun; you earn for yourself a boxed ear,.and are obliged, in self-defence, to imprison the oflending hand; your aunt comes in; let her come! are not you and Kitty cousins? There's a ring at the door, and Mr. Frank - is announced. You say, "Unmitigated puppy !" and begin a vehement discussion with your aunt, about anything that comes hifndy.; but that don't prevent you from hearing and seeing all 'that- goes on at the other si'de of the room. Your aunt is -very oblivious, and wouldn't mind it if you occa siontally l6st the thread of your discourse. Kitty ;is-the least bit of a coquette! and her conversation is very provocative, racy and sparkling; you privately. determine to read her a lecture,upon it, -as soon as prac ticable. It seems as though Mr. Frank-:- never would go. Upon his exit, Kitty -informis you that she -is going to Madame- s concert. with him. You look serious, and tell her you "should be very sorry to see a cousin of yours enter a concert room with such a bi-ainless fop." Kitty toss her culs, pats you'on the arim, and says, " Jeal ouR, hey?" You turn on your heel, and, lighting a cigar, bid her "good-morning," and for a little eternity of a week you never go near her. Meantime, your gen tlemen friends tell you how "divine" your little cousin looked at the concert. You are in a very bad humor, cigars are no sedative-newspapers either. You crowd your beaver down over your eyes and start for the office. On the way you meet Kit ty ! Hebe ! how bright and fresh she looks ! and what an unmitiuated brute you've been to treat her so! fake care! she knows what you are thinking about ! Women are omniscient in such matters! So she peeps archly from beneath those long eyelashes, and says, extending the tip of her little gloved hand-"WAant to make up, .H-arry i" There's no resisting ! So you wait upon her home ; nobody comes in. not even your respected aunt; 'and you never call her "cousin," after that day ; but no man living ever won such a darlinig little wife, as Kitty has promised to be to you, some bright morning.-Fan ny Fern. MRS. PIMPERTON'S FENCE. Mrs. Pimnperton had "laid it to heart" for years that her door-yard fence should be wvhitewashied, and she fairly tormented the rest from Mr~. Pir:iperton, clattering about that "door yard fence." The old man said " it had got so, that she could dream of nothing but door yard fence and wvhitewvash." Mrs. Pirmperton at last found a receipt for whitewash, which she cut from " The Federal Rocket and Political Torpe do," made up of lime, salt, and sugar, "more permanent and lustrous,"-according to the paper-, than white lead itself. This added fuel to the fire, and she followed Mr. Pinm pcirton with that receipt until lie was oblig ed, in self defenice, to prepare a dose of it, and baptise about twenty rods oft his fence. Well, it did look beautiful in the setting sun on the evening of its completion; and the old man really began to think that old Mrs. Pimporton was something of a wo man after all. Thle old couple retired that night happy. "La, me,' exclaimed Mrs. Pimuperton, as she was putting on the finishing touches to the bow knots of her night cap strings, " La, me! Mr. Pimperton, it didnt cost munch nuther ; andl shines a good deal brigh ter than Squire Holnes', with all its paint and 'ile. 'Dont say a woman dont know nothing again, Mr. Pimnperton. Women do know something. Not a dollar out, and our fence will last for ten years." Mr. Pimpertoin rolled over, grunted, and fell asleep. During the night, Mr~s. Pinm perton was aroused by strange noises. She shook Nr. Pimperton from his slumbers. "It did seem as if the very heavens bad broke lose," as Mr. Pimperton said. The herds of a thousand hills were upon them. Mr. Pimperton arose, and threw open the window, and there gathered in the moon light, marching and counter-marching, and bellowing forth unearthly sounds, and gor ing each other, really were (so Mr. Pimper ton thought) "herds of a thousand hills," stormfing around the newly whitewash fence. ' Great Josiah !" he exclaimed, as he stood in his undress, staring through the window. "Why, Mrs. Pimaperton, as sure as you are a live woman, the very cattle have come down to dance around the fence !" 'Then, out of the bed, bounced Mrs. Pim perton; and there, indeed, they were, sure enough, " afloi-in," as she declared, and they had the first r-eally jolly laugh they had had for years. But the morning told the story. The herd had. mostly disappeared. Two or three persevering animals, still lingered, however, and were still standing reared up on their hind legs, licking off the salt, sugar, and lime, upon the top of the post, the last touches of the last night's work ! " The fence" said Mrs. Pimaperton, in re lating the circumstance, ."was licked as clean as my washboard." GUTTA PERCHKA oPs Font LADIEs.-Tme ladies claim so much latitude, or rather cir cumnference, now, in the matter of dress, that it is very difficult for fashion to give spread enough to their garmenits without subjecting them to inconveniencs net easily overcome on narrow pavements and ob structed passage-ways. A new and better article than whalebone, for distending the dress, has been introduced. It is a cord, made of gutta-percha, which is not so heavy as whalebone, is more flexible so that the drs a. be folded close to the Ders$n. wlBsn necessary, and preserves elasticity enough to resume its proper position again. For the ladies' dresses this is just the thing needed, and it can be united by simply putting the ends in hot water. There -is, therefore, no spring of the ends and tearing of the dress. Gutta-Percha is one of the most useful arti cles known. We have no doubt that the cord above referred to, 'would make excel lent clothes-lines, and for skipping-ropes for the young ladies, nothing could be better or more desirable.-N. Y. Post. LOOK OUT FOR TEE COMET-PAY THE PRINTER! As the time approaches for the coming of the great Comet that is to destroy the world and all things therein, perhaps it will be well for all in debted to the Printer to settle up before the 16th inst. Recollect, it is an undeniable fact that, one of the unpardonable sins in the world to come, is, neglecting to pay the Printer his honest and hard earned dues. Ye that are wise remmember this and act accordingly.-ED. ADY. -. PAY THE PRINTER. 0 how happy are they, Who the printer do pay, - And have squarred up for one year or more, Tongue can never express, The great joy of the press, When delinquents have paid the old score. Printers all the day long, - Labor hard for a song: 0, that all their hard fate could but see They have worked night and day, And of course want their pay, To buy their sugar, and coffee, and tea. One harily would believe, What few dimes they receive, For the paper addressed to each name; And some will soon know They're scorched down below, For not punctually paying the same. Two N HEAVEN.-" You have two chil. dren," said 1. " I have four," was the reply; " two on earth and two in heaven." There spoke the mother. Still hers, only one before! Still remembered, loved and cherished, by the hearth and at the board, their places not yet filled; even though their successors draw life from the same fhithful breast where their dying heads werepillowed. " Two in heaven !" Safely housed from storm and tempest. No sickness there, nor drooping head, nor fading eye, nor weary feet. By the green pastures, tended by the good. Shepherd, lin er the little lambs of the heavenly fold. "Two in IIeaven !" Earth less attractive. Eternity nearer. Invisible cords drawing the material soul up wards. "Still small voices" ever whikper, " Come," to the world weary spirit. " Two in heaven!" Mother of angels! Walk softly !-holy eyes watch thy footsteps !-cherub forms bend to listen! Keep thy spirit free from earth taints: so shalt thou go to them, though they may not return to thee. No MIsTAKES RF.eTIFIED.-An intelligent Irishmnan, in the employ of a firm on Milk. street, was sent, a fewv days since, to a bank in State-street for the purpose of obtaining a sum of money on a check. Tihe money was passed to the Irishman. who did not count it until he was in the street, when he discovered that he had a *20 bill too mutch. Actuated by a dcsire that did honor to his head and heart, he returned to the banik and accosted the teller: "It's a mistake you have inade in giving mec the money, sure," lie said. " We miake no mistakes, sir," haughtily replied the tel Ir; "if~ your money is not correct, you should have spoken before you left the bank." "And you won't correct it?" asked Pat, with a doleful look. " No, sir-stand one side." " Theni it's meself that is happy to say that I've got twenty dollars too much, and long life to such tillers in general." Pat was allowed to keep thme amiount by his employers,'and now when he goes to the bank his money is counted twice for fear of mistakes.-Boxton Herald. 'Wuo Wouwu NOT lIE A ].RIME.-Tlhe Louisville Courier pays the following tribute to the occupation of the farmecr: "if a yotung man wants to engage in a business that will insure him in middle life the greatest amount of leisure time, there is noting mzore sure than farming. lIf he hais an independent turn of mind, let him lbe a frmer. If he wvants to engage in a healthy occupation, let him get a spot of earth, keep within his means, shun the lawyer, be tem perate to avoid the doctor; be honest that he may have a clear conscience, improve the soil, so as to leave the world better than he found it, and then if he cannot live lhmp p)ily and die conte~nted. there is no hope fvo him." The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to your opponernt, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself respect; to all men, charity.
