Practice ^Vhnt You Preach. Toll me not of garbled sermons ElegancelJf thought and style, Heard from out yocr modern pulpits Maa from- orror to beguile. Eloquence airy charm tho fancy, - Summon an admiring crowd, Who surround thc gifted preaober, With their praises long and loud ; But If God's appointed servants Would their hearer's conscience reaoh, Leading them to paths bf wisdom, They must practico what they preach. Parent.*, if your tender offspring Yt u would lead in ways of truth. Shielding them from tho temptations That surround the path of youth. Count ax vain your time worn maxims, . And, tn make your teaching sure. Guido them not alone by precept, r.ut example, just and pure. For, to shelter from the tempests Sin's dark clouds would cast round each TondcT flower of your protection, You must practico what you preach. Teacher.?, if throughout your duties, Ever faithful you would be, Not by words, but l>y your actions, Toach in all sincerity. Youthful eyes aro on you gazing, Youthful hearts your thought* receive; Eagerly they catch your accents, Eagerly your words believe. Then beware! lest by your actious, Untrue principles you toach, And forget uot you must ever Strive ti) practice what you preach. THE SECOND il AR KI A G E. ?: MAURICE ! Maurice !" She spoke thc soft words twice before he heard her, with wistful eyes timidly turned to his face. " what i> it r " May I have the little gray ponies and -ride out on thc Templeton Road'?'' '; Ride out ! No-yes-? wish you wouldn't tease me, Amy !" ile spoke harshly, shaking off her little hand as if its touch were unpleasant to him ; ?md Amabel Tresley turned away, trying to repress the tears that sprang involuntarily to her eyes. ': He does not love me !" sho thought. " Oh, if I knew hut some spell to bring back the old fondness." She went slowly out into the bright anteroom where the winter sunshine streamed through oleander boughs and swinging trails of passion-vine leaves (for the scene of our ta!u is in thc United States;) and a great Newfoundland dog lay winking and blinking in the golden Hood. " Nero, you love me !" she murmured, throwing herself on thc floor, with one arm around her canine favorite's peck. She was only a child. this brown-eyed Amabel Tresley, not yet sixteen, and she * looked more childlike than ever in her unconsciously picturesque attitude on the . .?J rug, with the curls hanging loosely abolit lier fae?. atKfT"he irrepressible gui ver ?ri hei- lips. But, air (if a sudden, fhe glanced up with a sear-Jet blush ss a shadow Jell across the doorway. A tall, fair-haired gentleman was stand ing there, with his hat in his hand,-and an amused expression on his countenance. .'. Pardon me for startling you. - my dear little girl," he. said, gently ; ? but I have called to see Mr. Tresley. Is he at home1?" Amabel stammered some incoherent sentence about the next room, and the stranger bowed and passed on. Mrs. Tresley took her embroidery and sat down under the oleander boughs. As she threaded the hair-like needle, a loud, derisive laugh from the other room rang in her ears. "Your wife? Nonsense, Tresley ! That child?" . 111 know I have been a fool !" returned her husbands voice, in. a tone of annoy ance and chagrin. " [ was infatuated mad-and now it is. too late for repen tance." i: Where did you meet with her?" asked the languid, softly-modulated voice. "In New-Orleans-left an orphan at a great hotel by the death of lier father, alone and unprovided for. One could not but pity her-" t: And pity is akin to love," laughed the stranger. I understand your case completely, Tresley. But surely she's pretty enough to suit even your fastidious taste." . ''A doll-a vapid, wearisome doll!" returned Tresley, impatiently. u And to think that lam tied to her for life !" " Then why the deuce did you marry her?" " I tell you, Hayner, I was infatuated with her .brown eyes and golden hair; and now, when it is too late, 1 have dis covered my mistake." Amabel's dizzy senses comprehended the conversation no further. She had sat, silent and motionless, every word burning its imprint on her hear t as if they had been live coals. She sat there nearly an hour, with her head drooping on her .breast, and her hands clasped idly on her knees. Finally sjig rose and went upstairs, with' slow, languid steps. She had entered the room a child-she left it a hard, determined woman. It was almost dark when Maurice Tres ley came oui of his library, to look for thc little wife, who- delighted to trip on all "his errands. " Amabel ! Amy !" But ' there was no response. ii Stepheuson," he said to the smart maid who was replenishing the fire with coal, "go up to Mrs. Tresley's room and UiH her that Mr. Rayner will stay to dinner." Half a minute later Stephenson came back. She is not there, sir." :: Not there?" ''No, sir; and Mary Anna says she saw Mrs. Tresley go out, all wrapped up, two hours Ago." "Did she drive the gray ponies?". " No, sir, she went on foot. A:id please, ??ir, here's.ft Tait of paper I lound on her dressing-case-, with your' name on the. outside."' Tresley opened the note witb-a contract ed brow. But there was something in the penciled lines that blanched his cheek. M1 know now that yon are weary of me ; had I known it before, you would sooner have been relieved of the burden of my ? presence. Forget me-and try to return ? to the old time Tbefore you ever saw T. AMABEL." That was all. Maurice Tresley s-niled 1 bitterly. '\ l-A mere childish pet," he murmured. '.She will be back, half-frightened out of ? her senses, as soon as it grows dark, lt J is unfortunate, however, that she should i have overheard-that unlucky conversa- \ rion!" i ? -- - * .. ? * '. lt is nf no use, sir," said the gray- I haired emissary of the police, shaking the snow from h is great-coat. " We have ; inquired everywhere, but the clue fails s ns at the boat-landing. But excuse me, |j ?ir, was Mrs. Tresley ensy in-'her mind i rvhen she left your house ?" 11 Maurice winced a little. M No-1 hardly think she was." ' 1 ikDid you ev.5T think there might be a ; remote possibility of suicide!" Maurice Tresley started at the awful : possibility so coolly touched upon by the matter of fact detective ; and when the L door had closed behind his horrible equa- ! nimity, Tresley sank on a chair, with his race buried in both hands. ? ~ . j "My wife-my little soft-eyed Amy ! : I have been cruel, harsh-I deserve no t better than that Heaven should deal with-j me as I dealt wkh the lonely orphan. Oh, j my lost wife! art thou safe in Heaven,! or wandering homeless on thc face of the cruel earth"? ; ?l^?#*C- - * .-.'%* il ti When the child Amabel had left her ' husband's roui* shy had directed her loot steps to thc high road that led to the steamboat landing; but she was just too late ; the boat- had gone. '* Where shall 1 go to now?" she asked hot-self, trying ill vain to command her ' whirling thoughts. " Perhaps 1 can walk ! to Burghford, and then take the t.ain to New-York." '.Poor Amable] ! She soon r? olizep the wide difi'erenoft there was between driving over the road with her pet gray , ponies and plodding its weary length on loot, lt was growing dark-her head ached violently, and 'finally she paused abruptly. " mess your dear heart, Mrs. Tresley, what are you doing here?" An old woman, with a bundle of sticks on her ann, suddenly accosted her. "I think 1 have lost my way, Mrs. Jessup,'' said the bewildered little crea ture " Would you let me come in and resj for awhile V And welcome, pretty,11 said thc old woman, cordially ; for Mrs. Tresley had done her many a kind deed. " That is, if you don't mind a little upside-down ishuess,.for.Luke's folks are packed up to sturt for Australia to-morrow, and 1 was just, getting together ti little wood lo I boil the last tea-kettle." Amabel sa: down before the fire, me chanically warming-her hards.-' A?n I near. Burghford, Mrs. Jessup?'? Purghfoid, pretty? No, that you ain't! Chehnburgh is nearer hy a good Irait* mile."' .'Yes, 1 know. Docs the train slop there. ?" "Yes, honey. Here, now-drink this cup o' tea, and eat a bit o' bread, just to pnt a color into your cheek." "Mrs. Jessup," said Amabel, looking up with wild, wistful eyes, what do peo ple do when tiley want lo earn their own living ?" .Well, to !'f sure !" ejaculated the,old woman. 11 Why, honey, they go out lo service sometimes." u And what else ?" , " Well, they work iu a factory some time?, and sometimes the book-learned ones teach-school ; and sometimes they t ike in sowing." " Do you know what time the train slops ?it C helm burgh, Mrs. .Jessup ?" " Some time after six, dehr : hut-" '.Thunk you, Mrs. Jessup; i must go now." '. Wait till Luke comes back, honey," coaxed the old woman, "aud he'll go with you V Amabel 'Presley shook her head r?so lu'.cly. " No, I must go alone. You have been very kind to me, Mrs. Jessup; ! have no money to give you, not even a ring, but this handkerchief is very valuable ; please keep it for my sake !" And before Goody Jessup could open her mouth to remonstrate, Mrs. Tresley was gone, loaving the india handkerchief lying like a snowy cobwed on the old woman's horny palm. And so, months afterward, when news came that the stately Australian ship was wrecked oft' a cruel coast, and not a pas senge/.; saved alive, the cobweb handker chief floaliug to the shore, formed a ghastly link between tho dead and the living. Detective Barnum brought it lo Man rice Tresley one night, silent and self possessed as ever. " From the wreck of Cytherea, sir !'?. Maurice stared at the delicate embroide ry, with Amabel Tresley's name in the wrought shield as if he had seen a ghost; '.Thc Cytherea! Good Heaven! and . there was not a soul saved?" '. No, sir." From that night Maurice wore crape on his hat, and genuine mourning in his heart, for thc child-wile whom he had lost. .s * ?' # Ten years have passed by ore wc again Lake up the thread Of our story. The^.young moon was just beginning Lo glimmer through the purple-blue sky :>f the.mid-summer twilight, as Maurice Ire'siey and Sidney Wilford- paced up md down the marble-paved terrace. '?Su you like Mrs. Cameron ?" said :he latter. " She is the niost beautiful woman I j iver looked upon !" returned Tresley, ' stopping shorten Ins enthusiasm. " Wil- . ford; you know the sad history of my 1 irst marriage ; the second, I trust, will tiring the happiness 1 so long sighed after ti vam." "And you are determined to ' marry your auut's nursery governess ?" "Jf she will trust the precious jewel jf her life to my care." "Why, Tresley, 1 think the brown ?ycd widow has fairly bewitched yon. I You, the passionless statue of ice-you, 1 anally, to succumb to the pale face and ! solemn eyes of a nursery governess P ! " I tell you, Wilford," said Tresley, in 1 low, vehement accents, ;t that woman has 1 stolen my heart away-my whole being ! -and if she rejects my suit, life's sun- ' shine will be gone' for ever, as far as I ! UH concerned." Ile. turned away and went into the 1 liouse, leaving Sidney Wilford to marvel ii his leisure. Mrs. Cameron was sitting by thej?haded J light of a softly burning lamp, "with a ( volume open on thc table before her, but die was not reading. A ery tall, but per fectly molded, with superb dark eves, md hair whose natural wave caught Vip- .' pies of light at every motion ol' the beau- 1 Liful head., She looked np as Mr. Tresley entered, | iud in spite of hei- resolute self-control, a f ?carlet tide suffused her pale, lovely face, j Hie moment had cdrno, fo which she had j looked forward for so many years! She < .ead it in his fice as plainly as though he 3 lad spoken the words, " I love you !" j Well, it was over. Maurice Tresley i tad asked her to be his wife, and she had t laid " Yes." And stili she shrank away j i rom the fond clasp of his hand-the deep I vords of tenderness that welled sponta- i ?eotisly from his inmost being. I' M "My love! the light hns dawned at , f ast upon my heart. I am happy now!" ) The wedding was over, with its g im- c uer of orange Howers and'soft, rustle of unny silk. Mr. Tresley was standing \ n the centre of a group cf congratuhto-1 c ry friends, jv?ile his wife had gone up ) stairs to change her bridal dress for a \ more suitable travelling costume, when ] his valet brought him a folded note.- Ex- ( cusing himself in a lew brief words; ho t stepped into the deserted library to read 1 the missive whose superscription sent.a j strange thrill to his heart. It contained .1 but a few lines, in the peculiar cramped 1 chirography of the woman he had. once < called " wife." ; 1 " MAURICE-I have come baok to you. I J mn waiting in the little room by the . south gable, for you to welcome me once : more to your heart. AMABEL." As if a thunderbolt had descended on his unconscious head, Maurice Tresley sank white and 1., :ast on a sofa, with both hands clasped over his eves. Then he arose, and went, with thc stag gering, uncertain motion of a blind man, into thc ronin indicated by the note. lt was empty, tvs yet-and he leaned against thc mantel, sick and dizzy. Ama bel alive-Amabel come back to part him from tho. idolized wife he had just acquired the privilege to call his own ! Oh, better death and oblivion-better the blessed rest of thc grave! "MauriceJ" He started. Alien Cameron was stand ing before, him, with-her pitying eyes full upon his fiioe. ''Maurice-my husband!" . "Kol your husband, Alice! Oh, my beautiful, my beloved, must I give you up now ?" "Maurice!" She had nestled close to him, Tith almost passionate earnestness. " Oh, Maurice, am I so changed? Have you forgotten Amabel !. Oh, pardon the stratagem-hy which I have at last gained your love !" "Tint-Amabel is dead !"~ i; The Amabel of years ago is dead hut tho Amabel of the present stands be fore you f Maurice, do yon love me now?1" ... Yes, he loved her now-she saw it, in every glance of his eye, everymotion of his lip ! ' ' ' ':?. Twice wooed-st.wice married-it widow, yet a win-a bride, yet no bride, Ama bel Tresley knew that a new lifo was opening before her whose 'sunshine should never know cloud nor shadow morel Husband and Wifes In his chapter on the. relations of. hus bands and wives, Mr. Alger has a passage so admirable, and introduces also a quo tation from Chateaubriand, which has al ways seemed to ns so unrivaled for truth fulness, that we quote ? few passages : Let a husband be the true and pure guardi?n ol' his family, -laboring always to adorn himself willi the god-like gems of wisdom, virtue, and honor; let him bear himself in relation io his wife willi gracious kindness towards her fault?., wiln ;0 . , ..... grateful recognition of her merita, with steady sympathy for her trials, willi hearty aid for her better aspirations, and she must be of a. vile stock if she does not revere him and minister unto him with all the grace:-, and sweetness of her nature." ' j Leta wife in lier whole intercourse with her husband try the efficacy of gen tleness, purity, sincerity, scrupulous truth, meek and pal ieut forbearance, nil invaria ble tone and manner of drfcrriT?e. and if he is not a brute.he can not help respect ing her and treating her kindly, and in ii'.arly all instance.1; he will cud by loving her and living happily with her. Hut if he is vulgar and vicious, despo tic, reckless, so ns to have no devotion for the august prizes and incorruptible pleasures of existence ; if she is.an un appeasable termugent, or a petty warrior, so taken up with trifling annoyances that, wherever she looks "the blue rotunda of the universe sinks into a housewifery room :" if the presence of each acts as a morbid irritant on thc ?ervos of the other, lo the destruction of comfort and thc lowering of self respect, and the. drain ing away of peace and strength, their companionship must, infill ibly be a com panionship in wretchedness arid loss. Thu banes of domestic life. are little- I ness, falsity, .vulgarity, harshness, scold ing, vociferation, an incessant issuing of superfluous prohibitions and orders, which arc regarded us impertinent interferences with the goueial liberty, and repose, and are provocative of rankling or exploding rosuilmculs. The blessed antidotes that sweeten and enrich domestic life are re finement, high aims, great interests, soft voices, quiet and genile manners, mag nanimous tempers, forbearance from all unnecessary commands or dictation, and generous allowances of mutual freedom. Love makes obedience lighter than liber ty. Mau wears ii noble allegiance, not us a collar, but as a garland. The Graces are never so lovely as when seen waiting uq ..the Virtues; and'where they thus dwell together, they make a heaveuly home. No affection, save friendship, has any sure. eLernity in it. Friendship ought, therefore, always to be cultivated in love itself, as its only certain guard and pre servative, not less than us the only suffi cing substitute in its absence. A coiiple joined by love without friendship walk on gunpowder with torches in their hands. Shall 1 venture to depict the sad decay which love .natural ly suffers, and the re demptive transformation which it some times undergoes? I will do .it by trans lating a truthful and. eloquent passage from Chateaubriand : "At first our letters are long, vivid, frequent. The day is not capacious gnotigh for them. We write1 nt sunset; : \t mo?nris wo trace a few more lines, .'harg?jg its chaste and silent light to bide our thousand desires. We watch For the first peep of dawn to write what wc bel it; ve wo had forgotten to say in de-' licions hours of our meeting. A thou- i sand vows covei.thc paper, where all thc ' roses of Aurora are reflected ; a thou sand kisses are planted on the words, which seem born from the first glance of inc sun. Not an idea, ?in image, a reve rie, an accident, a disquietude, which has 1 jot its letter. Lo ! one morning, some- ^ .hing alnjost imperceplibJe steals on thc t beauty of this passion. ' Like the first. 1 c rinkle on the front of an adored woman. ' "Thc breath and perfume of love ex- \ jire in these pages of youth as an even- " ng breeze dies" upon the flowers. .' We 'eel it, but are unwilling to ..confess it. Dur letters become fewer and shorter, are - illed with news, with descriptions, with J 'orcign matte:". ; and, il. u.;y thing hap )ens.U) delay them, weare less disturbed. Jn the subject of loving and being loved, ve have grown reasonable! We submit ,0 absence without complaint. -Our former pows .prolong themselves ; here are still . hesauu: words, but they are dead. Soul 1 s wanting in them. 1 love you, is mere- * y au expression of habit, a necessary p brm, the. I lia ve the honor to bc of the ti ove !etter. Kittie by little thc style 8 reezes where it inflamed. The post day H.. longer eagerly anticipated-is rather ? Ircaded ; wri 1 ing has become a fatigue. si " We blush to think of the madness lj ve have trusted to paper, and wish we 11 wild recall our letters and burn them.1 A/hat has happened 1 Is it a new attach ne'nt which begins where the old ends, ?o: it is love dying in. advance of the jbject loved. We aro force . to own'that he sentiments of man aro suhjeot to a liddon process ; the fever of timo, which produces lassitude, also dissipates illusion, mdennines our passions, withers our oves, and changes our hearts, even as it changes our looks and our years. There is but one exception to this human in irmity. There sometimes occurs in a strong soul.a.love firm enough to transfer itself into impassioned friendships, so as to become a duty, and appropriate thc qualities of virtue. Then neutralizing the weakness of nature, :it? acquires the immortality of a principle." TTKWKX.-A living" divine says: " When 1 was a boy, 1 thought of heaven as a great,- shining city, with vast walls and domes and spires, and with nobody in it except white, tenuous angels, who were strangers lo me. ? By. and-by : my little brother died ; 1 thought of a great city made "with walls and domes and spires, and a flock of'cold; unknown an gels, and one little fellow'that I was ac quainted with.- He was the only one 1 knew in that time. '. Then another brother dietd,;and- there were two that I knew. Then my acquain tances began to die, and the ?luck contin ually "jr/cw. But it was not till 1 had sertoneof my 'little children to hi's Grand parent-God-that; 1 bogan to think I had got a little in myself. A second went, a third went, a fourth went; and by that time I had so many acquaintances in heaven that I did not see any mo: e walls and domes and spires. I began to think of the residents of the celestial city.. "And now diere,have so .many of my acquain tances gone .there that! know more.in heuv?u than 1 do on earth." Ti i ii BEN KI-i TS OK USING'TEA.-The Boston Journal of Chemistry publishes a lengthy article on the properties of tea, in the course 'of which the writer says that it is no matter, of. wonder with him that the brain workers, in all the years since lea was int rod need, have regarded it' with the highest favor. Itr has a power to subdue irritability, refresh the spirits, and renew the energies, such as is pos sessed by no other agent. When the system of niau is exhausted by labor or study, a cup of tea reinvigorates,-and re stores as no other form "of lood or bever age can. He thinks it promotive of lon gevity, and adds : "Tea saves food by lessening the waste of the.body, soothes the vascular system, and afloras stimulus to thc brain. The young do not need it, and it is worthy of note that they do not crave or like it. Children will frequently ask for..coffee, but seldom for ten. To aged people, whose powers of digestion and whose bodily substance have to fall together, it ?a al moil a necessity. A Cierpyman in this city, catechizing the youth of his church, put a question from a catechism to a girl : " What is your consolation in life and death?11 The inri smiled but did not an swer. The clergyman insisted. # "Well," said'she, " since I must tell you, it is a-young man that lives down on South Broad street." A "Farmer," writing f. r thc Cultivator, gives it as the result of fifteen years ex perience,-on the part of himself and i>lhers, that salting wheat is a better pre vention of. weevil that sunning, lie uses half a pound of salt to each bushel, mix ing it in as he stores it in boxes. He (Uso says that this method will preserve the weight and full ?size of wheat for years. WHITE REDUCED er THIS WEEK!
