The Good Wife.
li's just as YOU say, neighbor Creen,
A treasure indeed is ray wife;
Sui-h another for hustle and work
1 never have fouud in my life.
But.then she keeps every one elso
As bu?y as birds on tho wing ;
There is never a uionicut for rest,
She is such a fidgety thing.
She makes the best bread in the town,
Her pies rm- a perfect dtlighf;
Uer coffee a ric!? golden brow n.
Uer crullers and puddings just right.
But then while I eat them she tells
Of the care and the worry they bring,
Of tho martyr-like toil she endures
Oh, she's such a fidgety thing.
My house is ifs ncat'ns a piu,
You should seo how tho door-baudlos BIU&O,
Aud all of the soft-cushioucd chairs
And nicoly-swept carpets are iniue.
But then she so frets at thu dust,
At a fly, at a straw, at a sting, .
That I stay out of doots all I can,
Sho is such a fidgety thing.
She doctors tho neighbors-oh, yes,
If a child has the measles or croup,
She is there with her saffrons and squills,
Her dainty-made gruels and soup,
l'.ut then she insists on her right
To physic my blood in the Spring ;
And nhe tikes tho whole charge of my bile
Oh. she's such a fidgety thing !
She knit? ull my Mm-kings herself.
My .-hirts aro bleached white 33 the suow :
My old clothes look better than now,
Vet daily more threadbare th?y grow.
But then if a morsel of linr
Or ilust on my trowscrs should ?ding,
I'm suro of one sermon at ?ens:.
She ?? such a fidgety tiling.
You have hoard of a spirit sn meek,
So meek it never opposes,
ft? own it dares never to speak
Alas.' I am"meeker than Moses.
Bat then I am not reconciled
The subordinate nm.-ic to ?ir.? ;
? submit to get rid of a rorr,
. She is such a fidget- thing.
it's just ?5 yea -ay, neighbor Green,
A treasure to me has been given;
Bur sometimes I fain would bi glad
To lay up my treasure in heaven.
But then every li'e ha? ita cross,
Most pleasures on earth have their sting;
She*3 a treasure, I know, neighbor Green,
Rut 3he's such a fidgety thing.
The Romance of a Hidden Heart.
jr. was near sunset, the sunset of a rare
day in June, and the amber drapery of
the west threw a golden reflection over
the dark front of ireton Hall, the resident
of Richard Steele.
On the wide, vine-wreathed piazza ol
' the mansion sat the master, the pro'prie
tor of untold wealth, the uncontrolled
possessor of ?1 million, in lands, 'bank
stocks, and railway shares.
Mr. Steele had never been married :
he enjoyed his riches without companion
ship: he had not a- relative, in. the wide
world. A hard, selfish, grasping man.
beloved by none, and respected only be
e-tuse of his great wealth. But spite ol
his power to do good, the world was none
ibo better for Richard Steele's existence.
Mo prayerful lips spoke his name with
blessing ; no lonely child of poverty and
want was" "made happy through his boun
ty : no desolate orphan's heart sung iov jo\
because of his .ministrations. And h
thu man who so misused his life, went tn:
.tis couch of down at night, without pray
er; lie ignored God,and his Bible lay <*
the mahogany shelves of his library, with
mould ou its velvet cover.
No one in Milford remembered -Mir
Steele as other than the miser he was to
day; for fifteen years hehad been a eit
zen.of the town, and no change,., eil he 1
forT?e'tter orTor worse, ?Baa cbm?*bve:
him, in amoral point'of 'View.
Speculators avoided mm ; they mad?
no thriving bargains ont of the keen 1
sighted financier ; and men .of-business,
when forced to deal with Kilo, cut theil
interviews* short. No ofie^thought ot
ofToring-htin a subscription j>aper for am
charitable purpose ; be denounced all lie
ne volent societies as humbugs, and thosi
who. canvassed for. them he called swind
lers.
The gardens of ireton Hall were th?
finest for scores of miles; the yellow
pears and luscious nectarines mellowed
on its walls, the [ingathered grapes pur
pied on the -trellises,/ and-no schoolboy'
G?tmg hands-disturbed the ripe, treasure*.
Mr. Steeles ?ji'eat dog. Pluto, was as sel
fish as his master, and hi? savage teoti
were always ready lo inflict summary,
punishment on erich and all depredator.*.
. This quiet afternoon," as Mr. Steele sa
on the .piazza gazing ont on tho broad
acres of ireton, his eye fell on two 1 itt J t
children wi;o were coming down thc road
hand in hand. They arrived in front ol
the gardens, and cast wistful looks at th<
rich damask roses .which' bung over th
quaintly ca ?ved gate. For,'a moment
they, con ver ?ed together in subdued voice*
ana then t'.ey turtled in at tic lion guard
ed gateway, and came slowly up tnt
. avenue. . . .' -.
An angry scowl contracted the brow"
of Mr. Steele al this ? unwarranted intrii
sion, and he half rose from his seat as il
to drive ont, the welcome guests. Thty
were the first children who had ever darer!
to trespass on the estate o: Ireton Hall
They came fearlessly up to the piazza,
still holding each other's hands. The el
dest was ? boy of perhaps twelve years:
a brave, noble little fellow, with brown
eyes, and dar t, glossy brown hair. Tili
other was a girl ; she could not have been
more than nine summers old, and beaut\
like hers is seldom seen save in some rare
old picture. The sight of her face struck
a strange thrill to the heart of Richard
Steele, and involuntarily he bent down
lo look at her. She was fair as a water
lily save the' crimson which tinged her
lips, and leaped at intervals to the snow
.of her cheek. Her eyes were'deeply
blue, and her hair like ripples of molten
gold touched by heavenly sunbeams.
Roth, the children wore mourning gar
ments,- cheap and coarse, but neat as hu
man* hands could make them. The little
girl spoke first.
"Please, sir, will you give brother and
mo some roses V
The tone was musical and sweet.as
harp notes, but the rich man's counte
nance grow hard and cold. He pointed
lo the highway.
" Begone !" he exclaimed, *' I do not
raise flowers for begrmrs'"
Oh, how the dark eyes of the boy
flashed, and he was about, to make some
sharp answer, but the pressure bf the
girl's fingers on his arm checked him.
w We are not beggars," she said, calmly,
u but our mother is dead, and we are or
phans. She loved*the roses, and we love
them, too. Please give us one apiece,
lt will seem so good to smell flowers
once' more."
" The hard face did not relax, the long,
thin linger still pointed to -the gate, but
the hlue-eved petitioner. did not move.
She was regarding him with an expression 1
strangely (ender ?od pity?g, ?ri it an? J<
' . - . -? ?
noyed him more than anything oise to bi
pi Hied.
" Why do you look at nie in that way?'
he demanded, harshly.
"Because I am sorry foi you"," sh
said, sweetly ; " you are old, and sad
and all alone. Where are your children ?
,: 1 have none," he answered ; and won
dered. at the same time, why he did so.
"None! Have you no little girl t
sit on your knee, and cali you papa ? Lin
sure I pity you very much !"
.. Humph !"
"But ldo! Indeed I dr?! It must b
dreadful not to Jove anybody ! Did yo
never have anybody to love you !"
A spasm of pain shot athwart the rigi
face of Richard Steele, and his ?all fruin
quivered, it might be with agony, or ar
ger, one could not decide from his wonk
He pushed the child away.
'.Not another word ! I will not listen
Good heaven ! that lips like those shot:I
ask me that q?estiou !"
" Patdon me, I didn't mean to hut
your leelings. You loved somebody, an
God took her away. Was it1 your sister ?
Ah, yes; and memory fle^ back ti
that gentle, fair-haired child who had clunj
with soft arms to his neck, and kissee
with warm lips his bearded cheek". -Hi
little sister, May ! How wei? h?'re mem
bered her, as she looked the last time h
had seen-her face, lying cold, and cain
like marble, ?ii the shadow of a collin
with white rosebuds broken in twain
amid the ringlets of her hair, broken* lik
herself, the sweet immortal rosebud
Ves, ho remembered May, and his ey<
grew moist'with something like a tear
but it was a strange visitant, and he dash
ed it away. Yet that tear wax not givei
to angel May ; she had been fur year
safe in the Paradise of .God ; *it was givei
to another, whose blue eyes seemed t<
look nt him out of the blue orbs of tb
little girl before him. He bent dnwi
overlier, and*scanned her features closely
Then he asked
" My child, what is your namp ?"
" Violet Gray."
The mon smothered a cry of surprise
and his face grew strangely pale, even il
the red light of sunset, lt must havi
been a strange emotion, indeed, .whicl
could thus stir the hard'heart of Richart.
Steele. Presently he said :'
" And what, was your mother's nami
before she married ?"
" Violet Dale." .
M And is dead ?" He spoke the word:
in a deeg whisper, as though fearing t<
utter them aloud.
"She is with the angels."
A'silence fell upon the group, broker
only by the suppressed sobs of the gi tv
and the heavy breathing of the man
'When he again addressed her, his voict
had.uiken a softness which none in Milforc
tiad ever beard in its measured cadence
"And, this boy is your* brother ?"
"Yes," my brother Richard."
" Richard ! Por whom was he chris
toned thtis?" Mr Steele asked the ques
lion breathlessly, with an earnestness v?n
strange and loreign, to'his stony nature
" For a schoolmate ot my mother's-'
' K And this schoolmate's surname-dc
you remember it ?"
"It was Richard Steele, sir."
O how the cold face lighted up! anc
(he stem mouth grew almost tender a>
this proof of tho power of the old lovt
was given him.
"Did Violet-did your mother evei
mention thia Richard Steele to you ?"
Tiie boy came forward, and replied :
.. His name was the last on her lips when
he died ; and, two days before she I efl
us, she gave me *a letter which I was t<
put imo his own hand ; and we are search
ing for him, my sister and 1, and when
?ve have round him, we are-going to live
with a distant cousin of my father's, in
" You need look no further for Richard
-Steele, my boy; he is before you ! Come
into the house, and give me the letter.'7
The children followed him into the
.zreat parlor, and, calling his astonished
housekeeper, he bade-her prepare them
??nie refreshments ; then, receiving the
?aeket from the boy, with reverent awe,
he went up stairs to'his chamber, closed
md locked the door, and sat down in the
irm-chair by the window. He held the
letter some time in his hand, gazing in
ently on the superscription,< which he
could scarcely discern for thc mist that
dimmed his eyes. At length he kissed
he writing and gently broke the ?ear
which the lingers of the dead had "fixed.
The contents of the sheet were as follows :
Ric:i.vin> STEELE : Now that I am dy
ng. it wiii wrong no one to confess what
4as hitherto been kept a secret in my
?wu b' som. You believed mc false and
'ickle ; you despised all women because
?f me, and I have suffered yon - to*-go on
n ignorauce^while all the time my heart
lias been slowly .breaking for tho want of
your love. When you left, me to go out
into tiie world,- in search . of fortune, my
.ove f>r you wronged my Creator! I
vus an idolater, and you, Richard, were
ny idol ! But if my love was strong,
.ny pride was stronger, and- when .your
etters, after growing loss frequent, ceased
^together, I sought no explanation of
four.silence. Georgia Dale, my step
mother, was my counsellor, and because
. listened to ber my:whole life rfas'beeri
hipwrecked ! She it was who first whis
pered in toy ear the story of your devo
utness to a fair Southern heiress; she it
was who .brought me the letter containing
the tidings of your marriage. Oh, Rich
ard ! Richard ! who, who shall picture to
von the days of agony, which succeeded ?
But for all 'my regnant pride, I should
lave lost my reason! Well, after that
('liarles Gray sought my favor; my step
mother approved of him, and I perjured
myself at .God's holy altar! Too late
I learned the truth! It was all a'^vilc
plot of Georgia Dale's ; I stood between
.you and her ; bia for nie, she hoped to
win your love! You know the result;
tier success was not a success, but a fail
ure ; you fled from the country, cursing
me hi your heart, and never guessing that
the fair, smiling bride of Charles Gray
cast out a_ thought .alter you. Seven
years ago my husband died, and during
ihese seven intervening years I have earn
ed my own and my children's bread by
the labor of my hands. Once only in
all that weary time have I looked on your,
face, and then, you thought me hundreds
of miles away; but my love was potent,
and I journeyed, on foot and alone, a
hundred leagues to see you once ' more.
You were walking ?ri the garden, and the ?
woman whom you turned away when j
she asked for a draught of WHter was i
Violet Dale. I would not reveal myself !
to you : it is better as it is. And now
God bless you, Richard Steele ! I have ?
loved you long, and you only; and in i
the ?leaven whither I am going there is i
neither marrying nor giving in marriage; ?
meet me there! . 1
VIOLET GRAY; t
He finished the manuscript, and, bow- *
ing hts face upon the open sheet, the long i
pent sorrow of his'beart burst forth in 11
tears-tears such as emly one like him i *
can shed. The closed chamber was open- ' I
ed fit ?ant, thc double granite doors #we ' f
.oiled back, and the angels.<3f tender
Memory flew in"and took up their abode
.here.
Violet Dale! Violet! the aoft-eyed
5?rl whom he had loved with the fresh
ness of his youth and the fervor of his
manhood ; Violet, who had made his
whole life a- failure! And yet she had
been pure ?ind innocent ; before the tri
bunal of his judgment she was blameless.
Yet she was dead-what mattered this
long-deferred discovery ? it was now too
late ! Too late for her, but not too late
for her children ! They should be his,
and he would be their father. And it
was even so. Richard and Violet Gray
went forth no more from Ireton Hall;
henceforth their home was with tho early
friend of their mother.
Unbounded was the surprise in Milford
when it was known that Mr. Steele had
adopted two stranger children; but still
greater was the astonishment when, on
the following Sabbath, thc rich man walk
ed into church, leading the orphans, ono
on either side. The good work was be
gun, and it went on until Richard Steele's
whole nature was revolutionized.
Years afterwards, while he lay on his
death-bed, loving and grieving friends
were around him, and at the very last he
fancied he saw the face of his lost Violet
hovering above the couch. And athis
funeral there were few dry eyes, for the
poor had-learned to bless his bounty, and
the sick and distressed offered up his
name in their prayers; and all sorrowed
alike, for they knew that the grave .had
closed overdone whose hand was ? ver
open to the calls of charity. And there
fore say not,,O cold cynic, that because
men are harsh and cold there is no oasis
in the desert, for in every human heart,
however' strong, there is a fountain of
sweet waters, and happy is he who breaks
the flinty barriers itud allows the living
stream to gtish forth.
, TOUCHING LEAVE TAKING.-The St
Joseph (Missouri,). JBerald reports an
elopement case. A Mrs. Carson lias left
with a doctor, first addressing the follow
ing to her husband :
"DEAR fl ram-You're played out.. I
like Dr.-sr) well that I prefer going
willi him rather than staying with you
you good for nothing degenerate cuss, lt's
none of your business where we're going
to: It won't, do you a bit of good to
follow us, for I.wouldn't live another day
with you to save your life. You made
a mistake in thinking I loved you. I
married you merely for convenience sake.
I take the baby along, and I'll take care
of it. You can sue for a divorce, or get
married tis soon as you please. The wo

MONEY.- Men work for it, fight for it,
beg for it, steal for it, starve for it,- and
die for it. And all the . while, from the
cradle to the grave,- ?at?tre and God are
thundering in our ears the solemn ques
tion, What.shall il profit a man, if he
gain the whole world and lose "his own
soul'!" This madness for money is the
strongest and lowest of thc--passions; it
is the., insatiate Moloch-.of th? -human
heart.''before whose remorseless altar all
the fi/ier attributes of humanity are'sac
ri fleed. lt. makes merchandise of all that
is sacred in human affections, and even
trudies in the awful solemnities .of the

"DON'T SQUEEZE, THERE'S A DEAR."
The corset is not a necessary part of a
woman's wardrobe; and, alas! when a
woman does begin to wear corsets she
will wear them too small, and will tup: at
the laces until her breath becomes short,
and.shc feels it necessary to refrain.from
anything like a comfortable meal. We
say nothing against a well-shaped corset
worn loosely, but lhere lies the difficulty.
A loose corset injures the appearance
instead of improving it, and people wear
corsets that they may have small waists.
All we can say is, don't squeeze, whatever
you do. You may have smail waists,
but you are exposing yourselves to a
dozen misfortunes which' are as bad as a
large waist. First, you'll surely have
dyspepsia and grow yellow and cross
and unhappy; secondly, your .hands will
growled; thirdly, your nose ; fourthly,
you will be unable to walk a mile at once ;
fifthly, dinner will be a misery ; sixthly,
ymir shoulder-Marios will grow weak:
seventhly, yon will break down at thirty
or thereabouts, and be a sickly old woman

. Tn E " RicoK^T FOOL."-The New York
Sud is responsible for the following:
George Francis Train said, some years
ago, that he attempted to write books,
and people called kima fool ; . that he.
took a-prominentpart in polities, and th'ej
returned the same verdict;-that he un
dertook to* uphold the American nation
abroad, and he was si ill accused of fol ly.
"I Chen turned my attention," he added,
" to making money ; 1 made it, and since,
no one has called me a fool." Last au
tumn Mr -Train attended the Jockey
Club races at the Jerome Park, and bet
ted very freely, but always, as-it happen
ed, on the losing horse. The last .day,
having wagered large odds on the favorite,
he again lost, and supremely disgusted,
he took ont his pocket-book while in th*e
members1 stand, and cried out : " I'll bet
five to one I am the biggest fool Jn the
irty or county of New York." After re
peating thc challenge several times, a
man, standing on thc course immediately
below, looked up, and, willi his porte
monaie in his hand, said : "-fla] lon, si ran

Strange Romance.
We copy the following from a recent
letter of "Evelyn," the New Orleans
correspondent of the Mobile Sunday
Times :
I have before said that romances rn]
real lifo are more common than people
suppose, and have'remarked that few no
tice romances and plots unless set out
and adorned by thc skill of a romance
writer. x\ plot for a novel, or a study
for a story, has recently come under my
observation. Something 1'iKe two years
ago young M-, the son of one of the
wealthiest men in Louisiana, fell deeply
in love with a young lady of a neighbor
ing parish. His love, was returned with
warmth, and they were- engaged. But
now an obstacle came in their way.
M-'s father opposed the match. For
some time he kept this" a secret from his
'?aiicee, und meanwhile-she was making
preparations for her marriage. She was
an orphan, but had been left a small prop
erty, which; valuable before the war,
brought her bat little over $3,000. . This
ph* expended upon her trousseau, feeling
that, as her intended husband was rich, she
had no necessity for saving, and that she
should make her appearance worthy of
their station.
As the time drew near when they were
lo be united, M-seemed to change
towards her, and grew cool and serious.
In vain she tried, with all the arts which
love coil id silg?eselo learn the secret of
the change, but he did not confide in her,
and she could only wait and wonder. At
last the time for the ceremony came, and
M-was forced to make a confession.
Ile said that his father forbade the match,
that he had supposed her an heiress when
he engaged himself to her, and now he
could not!marry her against his father's
will. The shock which this gave the
young girl can be imagined. Naturally
one will say that she should have despised
him, and felt herself fortunate in making
her escape; but,-on the contrary, it was
then only, that she 'felt how much she
loved him; She had given herself with
out reserve, and, so far as she was con
cerned, she .was his forever. For the
next year and a half she was in a convent,
entirely excluded from the world ; but
some two months ago she was persuaded
to como to this city, and remained here
forborne two or three weeks.
One day she received a letter which
seemed to disturb her, and on going to
her room later, a friend found her on her
knees, praying tor the man who had de
serted her. ile", was . very sick in the
count ry,-and begged her to come to him
On that very day M-'s father died,
and the funeral-notice was handed to her
her as she stepped into the carriage to go
I to the cars. For a week nothing was
heard from her. but soon we got the finale
of the romanee. The girl had gone im
mediately to M-'s bedside, and found
him very ill, ^ittcpded by his two sisters.
Ile told her that he was dying, and, now
that his father was gone, wished to make
her his wife. They were married. A
will was made by him giving her one
half of his large fortune, the other half
to his two sisters, and the next day he
followed his fui her from earth. Contrary
to the advice of her friends, the young
maiden-widow announced- her intention
of retirjng to the.convent for life.
A REDEL ANECDOTE.-In the work by
John Esten Cooke, entitled, " Wearing
of thc Gray," thc following anecdote oe
curs, which may perhaps be appreciated
under the present circumstances:
In 18(53 tile enemy c aught an old coun
tryman near ?Madison Court House and
informed him that he must do one or two
things-either take the oath of allegiance
to the United States government or pre
pare to bc buried alive. 'He declined
taking the oath, when hi's captors delib
erately proceeded in his presence to dig
a grave, and when it was finished they
led him to it and said :
" VVill you take the oath?"
" No !" responded the prisoner.
" You had better !"
" I won't !"
" If you don't take the oath you will
be buried alive in the grave within thc next
five minutes !"
The old fellow approached nearer, look
ed withattention at. the.~ pit- yaWning-be
fore him, and then turning round, with
his,hands in his pockets, calmly replied
. " Well, go on with your funeral !"
