Belbre and After.
GENTLEMAN* BEFORE MARRIAGE.
Mv dearest duck, my sweetest girl,
? lovo you most sincerely ;
Fd r?thor own this sunny curl
Than win a fortune yearly ;
This little hand, so soft and" white.
"Was only made for kisses ;
This little form, so frail and light;
Was made for gauzy dresses !
PH keep, my Kate, a span of grays,
A carriace and a pony ;
I'll ero with her to balls and plays.
And never speak of money ;
Far h er Pll buy romances n ew,
Attending to her pleasure,
And poems, bound in gold and blue,
I'll order forjny treasure.
Our lives shalr be but ono sweet drea
Of lovo and snnnv weather.
No adverse wave, shall cross the strea
Of wedded bliss forever!
AFTER MARRIAGE.
You always talk of plays and balls ;
You are" forever flirting,
And scribbling rhymes, and malting cal
And never making shirtimr ;
* You smile in every Whiskered face,
You chase all si?lv fashions ;
You load with jewels, flaunt in lace,
And show your angry passions !
The baby's left to cry and moan,
I've ne'er a decent dinner;
Yon drag me out, you call me down
I am a hen-peck?d sinner,
An abject slave-I tell you so !
Madam ; your folly's ended ;
Yon shall not flirt-and go-and go
I'm weary and offended ;
I'm going to a reading room-, \
, I'll .Join a club thereafter- , ' \ \
So-mend your manners-stay ai hom
And dry your eyes with laughter !
LADY BEFORE MARRIAGE.
I feel a very solemn sense
Of all a woman's duty,
To keep within tho door yard fence,
Unmindful of her beauty;. ?
To 'share hur husband', rion arm-cart
And, in his shadow wala. r.
Content to mind her own aftai..-,
Be reverent when he's talking!
"Tis plain, our Maker did desiarn
That women should be humble ;
Not give to looks, nor dressing line,
Which makes them frpt and grumbl
Those novels are pernicious tilings
To feed imagination ;
AU filled with angels shorn of wings
To mo they aro vexation.
Dear William, as' your wedded wife,
I never mean to*teaze you1:
My aim and pride throul'h ail my life
rushall only be to please you !
AFTER MARRIAGE.
Bill ! come downstairs: I know you car
Tho babv has the colic ;
The way yon shirk your duties, man,
Is truly diabolic ! * , \
The nurse bas such ai bltonderiHg way
She cannot stop its crying,
And as for me, I'm housed all day
Till I am almost dying !

But while he tends the baby.
You, Sarah, take "this book ? with speed
Across to Mrs, Maybe;
Ask her to loan me Hugo's hist ?

There Bill-don't rock so horrid fast
.You'll wake my darling Emma!

The shadow of the night has passed awa;

Hampton lay dying.
I drew my . chair involuntaril
closer to the bedside, as though
might find protection in*its uncot
s?ious occupant. How fast the tear
came from my tortured heart as
gazed on the kind old face, and kne1
it must soon be lost to me forever
and oh, bitterest cup of all ! this sou
that had shown nothing bur kindnef
and tenderness, thai lind cared fe
rae in childhood, counseled and guido
me as I grew into woinaihoed, save?
. my eyes so many times from tean
my feet from slippery places, this
my best earthly benefactor, was goin,
down in*o the valley of the shac^
of death, and I could believe mysol
little better than her murderer.
For Hampton Hall was not :.r
birthplace. Ten years before Aun
Hampton had come' down tamalee u
her annual visit, i iou ml ont-ii
years after thar these visits wer
made rather with an rye u> busines
than pleasure ; for, like many tm other
this woman, possessed of an indepen
dent fortune and excellent busines
faculties, had little patience or sym
pathy for people blessed with neither
and although she v. - charitable i<
tho poor,--sho always wondered hov
people could be ii; that condition.
Aunt Hampton believed us as poo
as Job. Perhaps wc wore; according
to her idea ol riches there was n<
doubt of it: bu! Until the morhinj
that I waited'wit h tear-stained cheek
lbj' tho old coach lo take mc out o
it, I had not found poverty a elisa
greeable thing. The low, dingy kitch
en, with its ho.mcly surroundings
had never lacked tl e m;;.;ic of chil
dren s laughter or th . patter of dal
ling lit'le feet.
What more is riches ?
As I was saying. Aunt Hampton';
visits were more to investigate mat
ter* than 'for pleasure.. My fa th ci
was her nephew, and nearest kins
man. She was my grand-aunt. Ii
these visits her sharp eyes watched
every movement of every member cr
the-Jaraiiy. The fact that I wandaree
of? every morning, my only compan
ion a book, did not escape her notice
at 1 when I re-entered theiarmhoust
at big!: noon, shame faced and con
: eisner- trie-ken, she was sharp enough
;o see tl at in my l.e?rt I was perfect
ly radiant to find the drudgery fin
ished and the kitchen restored- tc
cleanliness and order.
And that is how I became an in
mate of Hampton Hail.
I was a home child in every sense
of the word ; shy. and sensitive, with
strong affections, and leaving home
and loved ones seemed a sorrow
greater than my ?oung heart could
bear.
Distinctly I remembered every look
and word of the group that followed
us to the wicket to bid ns good-bye.
I hid my own tears because so many
eyes were full.
Softly mother whispered : " It is so
hard my child to let you go."
But Aunt Hampton's quick ear
caught every word.
Nonsense!" she exclaimed, as she
hurried me. into the coach. " You'll

In the ten years that I live
Hampoon, Hall t did, not. visit
home of my'birth. A,unt Ham]
had had "such a time" getting
reconciled to my new home that
never dared to trust me away i
it. For, indeed, how grim and st

Hampton showed'-Jxer :: usual', g
sense. She let me alone, or, w
?he did notice me, it was very-kio
;n time the"birds sang very mud

Aunt Hampton was, very kim

She placed me at an excellent.sci
in the neighborhood, and I impro
every advantage': and when I wa'
possess her entire fortune, if-1
much, powder there is in that li
word-I would marry the nephev
her late husband, one Jasper Hal
ton.
_Iji tho neighborhood .of Hamp

skill was proved by his being h
regular furajlv, physical. Morebv
she believed in his honor ; every th ii
chat she trusted to the ear of,her a
torney, she trusted to Dr. Manche
ter, oven the making of her will.
It was the day Aunt Hampton to,
the docler of the condition of h
will that he told her the story of i;

summoned. Belore I entered .'.ni
Hampton's presence I knew why si
had sent for me. M\ heart beal fea

' grace of a true gentleman, and th
moment he took jay hand all fear <
Aunt Hampton left me.
.I have never seen the strong wc
man so agitated. Her ince was pal
even to ghastliness, and her lim!;
shooj: as with ague.
!" Oh, Esteile," she said, " ho\
could you dist^jjfoiat.kme. so? ?Yoi
cannot repay me'for years of.lQV
and care by such underhanded in
gratitude. Tell me it is not so. Le
me not believe that you two, whon
I have so implicitly trusted, have un
done in one hour my work of years !
M Dear Aunt Hampton !" I prayed
.' don't say I am' ungrateful to you
of all others-you to whom I owe sc
much."
" If not for my sake, Estelle, re
member your kindred."
Aunt Hampton knew the tenderest
spot in my tender heart.
" Estelle," said a calm voice, " here
is a teat of your - love that shall last
me a life-time. On the one hand you
have Jasper Hampton with a fortune
gf thirty thousand pounds; on the
other, Edward Manchester with only
a name and profession; Which "shall
'it he?"
. I preferred to marry a soul With
povcrJby/ to-"a/Toot Witt w?aJ?i'' 'afftrl
ventured to say so.
Jasper Hampton was a brain,
scoundrel ; lie would have marr
his grandaunt for the sake of
fortune^and she waa fifty years
when he was born i I detested h
and as for tHe fortune, it was no s
rifice for me to give it up for my c
sake ; but reader, forgive me, t
was the foundation of my . castle
fhe air. ...
Aunt Hampton,declared she wo
send for her attorney that very, ni
and make a new will in favor of
nephew Jasper.
Dr. Manchester mentioned that
was going in that direction "and wo
send them over, and I think he ne
carried a message more ?willingly.
And when another morning dai
ed, I could sing with the old dam<
the ballad :
" Yesterday I was the Lady of Linn ;
And now I'm but Jnoo' the Stales' wi:
But a sweet voice came over
h?ls, saying: " Better so, my ch
a thousand times better so thar
bring your household^ gods-under
J unworthy roof tree." '
Three months later I had appl
for and obtained a situation in
Academy where I had been a scho'
My support should not come fr
Jasper Hampton's great " expec
tions."
Meantime a fair dwelling in the
cinity of Hampton Hall began t
was nearly completed. In the n
low light of the summer sunset
often walked over, at the earnest
licitation of Dr. Manchester, tba
might be finished to suit me, for tl
was to be my future home.
One morning I had been walk:
with Aunt 'Hampton-there exis
the deadliest feelings between uf
when, on reaching the house, she sa
into, the nearest chair, .exclaiming
? 'J-lEstelle, I have strange feelii
fm S jd .-*?.
?wpy 1 strange thoughts, too. I hi
>rha$e mopey-my godyhiit it is alwj
turning' tb dead leakes in my han

dear.'? , ; ' . ; ; s
_ I knelt beside her.
" Estelle, do you love your (
aunt as well as yon did six mont
aS0?" . -p r- H.

is a peilect ^understanding:-betwe
us now. I used -to hope you wot
.see t th at I .could never love Jasp
Compare him with Edward Manch
ter, and see the contrast."
" I don fc likft-him myself, .Estell)
Then, as though talking lo herse
she added : " Why should I croi
my life with a deed PO ungenerou
: Twill not: Til make a third wi
and E telle and my nephew, sh
. faire, alike."
, ,T,here was A stirring of the drape
of the low French window ; a shad*
crept along the wall. I turned agc
to speak to \\\i\t Hampton, but mi
?ifni heaven ! her liead had dropp
upon her breast, her limbs were nj
and her ayes set ; the woman to i
apnearance'was dead. As soon a?
'could move .hand ?r foot I rang 1
help. We placed the still form up
the bed,, and sent with all haste I
.her .physician. 'He came .'and'*pi
nounced 'the case apoplexy, eau?
by over excitement.
Dr. Manchester passed even- spa
mgmcnt with us, trying in turn
relieve the stricken in body and t
"troubled in mind, for I believed m
sell' to.be the cause'- of tkc?. over e
citeraent, and even his gentle n-a>o
' ing could not convince me to the co
tra ry.
Thus three days and nights psu??
away, and still no change. Anolh
physician had been called, hut to i
purpose.
I watched and prayed iu'fear ar
. 't^emh?ing.'llirough thesf?fi-ful sto?ft
watcher! for tlt? liane! -io moye/'-'tl
eye to unclose; prayed foi- one wor
que loojc*. Dite sign even, but still i
Change. ? '.
The storm raged on till mid nigh
then the wind died away, the thund
ceased, the clouds r?G?a?Hted. tl
mo&n'shoW'lorTh, and my hear t> gre
lighter. 1 thought ol' a letter 1 h;
left* unfinished. I would bring
thither and-finigh it. 1 stepped aero
til? ?mil i-nto my own room. l?o
thoroughly tired I wad. ' 1 vat'dow
just fur a moment in my easy chai
Nature w?>uld have her way; si
closed my eyes and I forgot care an
sorrow.
Merciful Heaven ! What a cry !
sprang to my feet in terror and ho
mr. The cry repeated ; a woman
voice full of agony, then followed-th
mad howl of a brute, a man's curse
and groans, theu all was still.
The ciy came from Aunt Ham],
lon's room. I staggered there. Eve
the face of the old butler was whit
'with feaiv as he opened the door Iror
which the noise came.
Horror? ! Jasper Hampton lay upo?
the floor in I he last throes of death
.'Sir John,' the faithful watch dog
crouched upon, his breast, his fani:
fastened in his throat, and Aun
Hamptem'^t.uprigat in bed.' |
. I.heard the,, street dpor open anc
shut. Dr. Manchester appeared upor
the scene, apd, for the first time ir
my life I fainted away. When 1
recovered my senses I was in my o wu
room, and the old housekeeper sat be
Bid? me.
I arose ; the good woman remon
strated.
How ?3 Aunt Hampton ? What
happened while I wua ill ?" I asked.
" Terrible things, Miss. And to
think as how he was going to make
them think it was my old man that
done rt ; went and carried his old hat
and dropped it by Missus' bedside ;
then took something sharp on both
edges (better lie down, Miss"; you're
white as a sieet,) and mici? for' poor
oid MiesTfs'- heart. ' Sir; - John' sleeps
in the hall, you know, arid" just as .he
: was going to ieave? I e'pose,. the ;dog
. t&ok him ; leastways, there he is,-dead
as a hammer, and-" "... ... j
.
" Aunt Hampton,, what pf her-?" I
interrupted.
" Why, that's the queerest part of
it. 0, my Lord, Miss, how the blood
did run ! But that's what done her
good."
" Oh, Hannah !" I said, taking the
woman by the arm, " will yon please
tell me how she is injured?"
" Lord, Miss, what a hurry you
are in. Of course I'll tell you when
I get to it. You know that Jasper
always was a dreadful bungling fel
ler ; well when he made for Missus'
heart he didn't get any nearer than
her shoulder. The/ bleeding eeemed
to bring her right up, and she is-"
" Waiting to see- you." -*
A well-known ?voice i finished^ the
sentence. I turned ; Df. Mandh?ster
stood in the door.
* * * * *
The room seem full as we entered.
An aged physician sat at the bedside,
and the Rep^ ^friy^m^n:' aiH^wJ!?,
attorneys were in"*Jth"e room. .Aunt
Hampton was bolstered':^!) ia jbfejl ;?j
she held out her hand fo me.
"You were wiser than I, Estelle,"
she said, feebly; "but-this-," point
ing to her shoulder, " has opened my
eyes iii:<mor$Hban-.bneVsense of the?]
word. We will be unhappy no long
er. Mr. Ryerson and DE Manchester
are ipqtzh ^waitings, lefemeibks^/y^?

So we were married, and as we
knelt to receive Aunt Hampton's
biassing, the .first-ray of the.morning
sun came in anolay iipoflfourheads'.
Reader, in lieu of the air castles, I
have caused to be reared a_ castle
with a substarrl?Bl;{foun4&tio^.5?iMy,

TH? WIDOW'S WILES.-They<?ell.
about ? blooming yodng widow Who
used to live- next' door tb Mr/$mitfty
who was a widower and a timid man,
whose mild ..eyesa beamed., luridly
through his spectacles. The widow
had a kindness for Smith, and he re
ciprocated it ; ali hough he had bare
ly sufficient courage to carry on the
campaign. So at last the widow pre
tended to be terribly afraid of th un
derhand lightning and whenever'she
saw a gust coming up she used to
smooth'di?r.hair and-rdsh' into Smith's
house.
Then, when-she-heard-a peal of
thunder, she would scream, rush up
and throw foer?atos* around tt?? mild
eyed Smith's -teek and implore-him
to protect her. Mr. Smith always
looked embarrassed and anxious and
said^he would. Then she would faint,
and'Smith - would feel- half 'glad and
half sorry " About six thunder -storms
settled the business : and now she is
Mrs. Smith. He is only sorry that
her apprehensions of thunder and
lightning were not realized. He says
that if ever there was a woman who
d"served to" be torn to pieces by
electricity,.-it ia; that widow. She
has thunderstorms every day now in
Smith's house, and it is lively and
vigorous for Smith around there since
th,e widow took possession.

The greatly advantageous feature of the Brooklyn in endorsing the Sur
render Values upon its Policies, in Dollars and Cent?, for fen consecutive
years, has met with unqualified praise from the most celebrated American
Actuaries, .is also from the Press, East, North and South.
The Hon. Elizur Wright, who is admitted to be the greatest Insurance
Mathematician and Actuary in America, congratulating The Brooklyn
upon this new and distinctive feature, says, among other things, " I am
particularly pleased by your departure in the right direction from the
ordinary method of computing the Surrender Values." "One of the great
est drawbacks to the popularity of Lifo Insurance, has been the disap
pointment and dissatisfaction of retiring Policy holders, at -the smalhiesi
of thc surrender value paid," &c. "All this would have been prevented
by a distinct . etattmmi*i>n- -the --Poiicyi- m~advance-, (fi ikosiwmiO'be-ytmdi'

It' will be seen that we assert nothing in the alcove advertisement, but
make a simple statement of the superior advantages of The Brooklyn, as it
appears from disinterested parties.
