It is alisoluiely necessary that you now begin to learn the art of housekeeping. You can paint, sing, dance, speak French, and do ulmost all kinds of fancy needlework, and when you have obtained a knowledge of cookery and other plain work, you will have n better edcuation than most young ladies have at your age." "Indeed inn, 1 do not wish to do such 'Common work. Let Bridget help you.?

"Mr. Judaon pcomtred to give me a call this evening precisely at eight o'clock, and what would he think to find mo mending an old coat, or darning an old stocking/" "Do you mean Bam Judaon, the tinker's sou!"

You can go to the door, Delia," ! observed her mother, quietly. Juat at thin crisis, Bridget, who had returned from her visit, came into the rootn with a light in her hand and announced the arrival of Mr. Judaon. "Show him into the parlor," aaid Delia, who arranged her hair and adjuatcd her dreaa, and then went into the parlor heraelf, where ahe found Mr. Judaon flourishing a amall cane and admiring his j?olished Ixxits. .

Jones, somewhat anxious to ascor] tain what reason her daughter had to auje , potse her frieud Judaon w as a man of more j than common talent, left the door ajar so | j that she might hear the conversation, j "How did you like the Itehuvinnr <.f 1 Miss Kankel at the party the other evening, Mia* Jone*tn "O, dear ine, she made herself ridiculous.

"I am sadl} disappointed," remarked Delia to her mother, the next morning. "What has happened, my ehildj* "Why, Mr. Judson is engaged to Miss Jells**." "I am glad of it."

"Dancing will not supply the larder with provisions, nor fill the wardrolte with clothing, nor supply the house with furniture." "Why, ma, it is cruel for you to make game of me in this way." "My object is to make you practical.? Look at the real case. V ou acknowledge that Sam does nothing for a living; his father is not rich, and it is quite certain you cannot live on air. When the hutcher comes with-his bill, would you offer to make him a liead purse to pay for his joints and steaks? or when the baker came with his account, would you offer to dance a jig to compensate him for his bread pastry? or when the grocer sent in his account, would you suggest the idea of paying him with music? No, Delia; you must learn at once how to do all kinds of housework. You must mend that coat, and darn those stockings, and to-morrow you must mix the laread and put it in the oven, and overy day I ahall insist on your working more or l?aa in the kitchen." Mr*. Jones waa a sensible strong minded woman, and was determined to train up her children in the way they should Jo. When it was announced that Sam udsou and ftusan Jellso were to be married, she made some inquiries respecting Ham's intended, and ascertained that her fortune, talents and attainments had been overrated. Nevertheless they were married, and some declared that such a gay lady and such a dashing gentleman would make a happy couple indeed. "What a happy pairP exclaimed Delia, with a sigh, when she saw them riding past n a carriage oti the day of the wodding. "The proof of the pudding in in the eating," replied her mother. "You are cruel to make such cynical allusions; for my part I see nothing to prevent their happiness. They are young, buoyant, rich and handsome." Just then Robert Baldwin, a rosy, robust young man, with magnetic eyea ami a broad, whit* forehead drove un to die door, and when h? had tetheml tik home to the fence he rang the bell and met with a warm welcome. He came to tee Delia, and the door waa not <geite cloeed, aoMra. Jones had an opportunity to hear the conversation between the two parties. "I came to invite you to attend a lyccum lecture with me this evening. Shall 1 have the pleasure of your company!" "I shall have to see mother before I can give a positive answer. "Who is the lecturer, and what is the subject, pray!" "Mr. Dorand intends to lecture on the subject of practical education." "Is he an iuterresting shaker!" "He is one of the ripest scholars and mi eiw{u?ni speakers in this country.? I have a volume of his lectures in my library, which I should be happy to present to you, pro"idcd you have a taste for literary pursuits." "Thank you, sir; the tiook would be very aceeptable indeed." Of course permission was granted to Delia to go to the meeting, and while she w as preparing to go with her friend, Mrs. Jones asked Mr. Baldwin if ho found much time for intellectual improvement, lie replied that he studied morning, evening, and meal times, and so economized his time that he had read at least,oiie volume a week for the last three years, and that he kept an itideje rertitn, in w hich he made a minute of the most striking thoughts he found iu the books which passed through his hands. It may not be amiss to state here, that this young man, without neglecting his duties on the farm, had acquired, unassisted, n knowledge of Greek and Latin, and was at that time a regular contributor to the columns of a very resjsftnble literary journal. In less than two years from the time of litis interview lie led Delia to the altar, ami her father and mother were Isith present and ottered no objection to the match, for they knew that Mr. Baldwin was willliiir itiul ?l?lo t/? woel. !?..* 1 * ...r ? ..v.v tfviAfUini ill* WHHfieaiUIV, handsome and intelligent, and owned the land through nliicli lie guided liis plough; and tliey also knew tiial 1 Mia could now on a patch, or darn a stocking, or hake, churn, wash, or do any other kind of housework. Vw, they wen* married and ihey w. re happy, ami their happiness lasttil longer than the hoiiey-moon. A few years after their wedding they visited a neighboring city for tin- pnr|x?te of culling on their mutual friends, Mr. Judson and laily, who moved there innmdiatcly after their marriage; they took with them the card which the groom and hride had left i?n the day of their departure, and without difliciilty found the street and the iiuiultcr of the house. It was indeed a la'aiilifnl residence?a tlighl of granite I ?tei?s iu front, a silver handle to the hell, rich curtains at the whhIows. in answer to the hell, a handsome wotnau, neatly dressed, cuuic to the dtxtr."

"Mrs. Uronlee, was the reply." "Have I the honor to take the wife of Professor Hronlee by the hand?" "My husband is Professor bronlec." "The author of that standard work on phiioso phy?" "\ o*, sir." "Ho you know the whereabouts of Mr. Itidnoii? impiired Delia." "O, yes; he formerly lived here, hut moved a long lime ago to a house on the next street, three doors Irom the corner, on the left hand side." Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin were delighted to find the lady who was such an awkward dancer, and whom Delia had once declared ought to l>e n kitchen girl, so intelligent and so comfortably situated.? They followed the directions they had received, and found t'.io residence of Mr. Judson. It was a small, wooden tenement ?no Ml at the door, no curtains at the windows, no grauite steps in front. In answer to a rap at the door, a woman, wearing a louse gown, with her hair in pa|>crw and an unwushed child in her arins, made her appearance. "Does Mr. Judson live here!" inquired Mr. naldwin. "He does," was the reply. "We are old acquaintances of hi*, and would like to see him." "Walk in." In they walked through a dirty hall into a room almost as had. The dishes were on the table although it was an hour after meal time, the bed ((or that was in the same room) was unmade and the floor unawept. "Mr. Judaon has gone to his store," remarked the lady of the house. "Where does he keep store, pray!" inquired lH?lia. "He is clerk in a store," was the answer. Just at that moment he tame in unexpectedly for something he had forgotten to take to the store with him. He was very shabbily dressed, and seemed ashamed to meet his old friends, but he frankly acknowledged to them that his embar rassmeents were occasioned by his lack of practical k now ledge.?/7?<y q/" <mr Union.

I whs on my way to P?, in the fall of 18? it was toward the cold evenings in tho first fall month, when my horse stoped suddenly before a respectable looking house, about four miles from N?. There was something strange ami remarkable in this action of tny horse, nor would he move a step in spite of all my exertions to move him on. Determined to gratify this whim, ard at the same time a strange Presentiment which ame over me?a kind of supernat >ral feeling indescribable?seemed to urge me to enter. Having knocked and requested to l?e conducted to the lady or gsntleman of the house, I was ushered into a neat sitting room, where sat a beautiful girl, alioiit 20 years of age. She rose at ray entrance? a little surprised at the appearance of an entire stranger. In a few words I related to her the strange conduct of my horse, and his stubl?orn opjMisition to my will. 441 am not," I observed, 44 superstitious, nor inclined on the side of metaphysical doctrines, or those who support them, but the strange unaccountable feeling that crept over me in attempting to pass your house, induced me to solicit lodging* for the night." 44 We nre not," she replied, 44 well guarded, 'tis true, but in this part of the country, we have but little to fearfrom robbers, for we have never heart! of any being near us; we are surrounded by good neighltors and I tlatter myself that we are at peace with them. Hut this evening, on account of my father's absence, I feel unusually lonesome; and if we were bordering on the superstitious, I might reason as you have. I consent to your staying, for similar feelings had been mine ere you arrived, from what cause I cannot imagine." The evening passed delightfully awav, for my young hostess was intelligent and lovely ; the hours flew so quickly, that on looking at iny watch, I was surprised to find that it was 11 o'clock. This was the signal for retiring, and by " 2 every inmate of the house was asleep save myself.

From Blackwood's Lady $ Magazine. The Rescued Criminal. A great number of persons who knew the celebrated Dr. 15 , a Professor of the College of surgeons, have often heard him relate the following anecdote : One day ho had procured the bodies of two criminals, who had bccti hung, for tho purpose of anatomy. Not being able to find the key of the dissecting room at the time the two subjects were brought, he ordered them to be deposited in a building contiguous to his bed room. During the evening Dr. II wrote and read as usual previous to retiring to rest. The clock had just struck one, and all the family slept soundly, when all at once a dull sound proceeded from the room containing the bodies. Thinking that perhaps the cat had bet n shut up there by mistake, he went to see | what had been the cause of the unexpected noise. What was his astonishment or rather his horror, on discovering that the sack which contained the bodies was torn asunder, and on going nearer he found I that one of the I>odie8 was missing ! Tlie doors and windows had been fastened with the greatest care, audit appeared impossible that the l>ody could have been stolen. The good doctor felt rather nervous on remarking this, and it was not j without an uneasy sensation that he began j to look about him, when to his horror and I amazement he perceived the missing I tody j sitting upright in a corner ! Poor 1 >r. 15 at this unlocked for I apparution became transfixed with terror, j which was increased by observing the dead and sunken eyes of the corpse fixed upon hint; whichever way he moved, those dreadful eyes still followed hint. The worthy Doctor, more dead than a- i live, now began to beat a hasty retreat, without, however, losing sight of the object of his terror; he retreated step by step, one hand holding the candle, the other extended in search of the door, which he at length gained ; but there is no escape, the sjM ctre has risen and fallowed him, whose iivid features, added to the lateness oft lie | hour, and the stillness of the night, seemed to conspire to deprive the poor 1 >r. of the little courage he has left; his strength fails, the candle falls from his hand, and the terrible scene is now in complete darkness. The good Doctor has, however, gained his apartment and thrown himself on his | bed ; but the fearful spectre has still followed him?it has caught him, and seizes 1 climax of terror the doctor louclly exclaimed, 44 Whoever you are, leave me!" At this the spectre let go its hold, and moaned feebly these words, 44 Pity, good hangman ! have pity on me! " The good doctor now discovered the mystery, and re gaiucu uy utile untl little ins comiKtsure. lie explained to the criminal, who had so narrowly esca|>ed death, who he was, and prepared to call up some of the family. 44 Do von then wish to destroy me!" exclaimed the criminal. "If I am discovered, my adventure will Income public, and 1 shall be brought to the scaffold a second time. In the name of humanity save me from death !" The good doctor then rose and procured a light ; he muffled his unexpected visitor in an old dressing gown ; and having made him take some restoring cordial, testified a desire to know what had brought him to the scaffold. He was a deserter. The good Doctor did not know w ell what means to employ to save the p?><ir creature. lie could not keep him in his house, and to turn him out would be to exjtose him to certain death. The only way, then, was to get him ir.to the country ; so having made him dress himself in some old clothes which the kind Doctor selected front his wardrobe, he left town early, accompanied by his protege, whom he represented as an assistant in a difficult case upon which he had been called in. When they had got into the open conntry, the wretched creature threw himself at the feet of his benefactor and liberator, to whom be swore an eternal gratitude ; and the generous d<?ctor having relieved bis wants by u small sum of money, the grateful creature left him with tunny prayers for his happiness. About twelve years after this occurrence Dr. b bad occasion to visit Amsterdam. Having gone one day to the bank, he was addressed by a well dressed man one who had been |K>inted out to him as IttlA i\f tllft Irtlta* -1 - , ?..v v. wv ?|.1||VIH MltllII.IIIIS <>l UK' city. Tlio merclinnt asked him politely if lie were not Dr. II of Dmdon, and on i liia answering liiin in llio affirmative, pressed him t?> dine at hia house: which 1 the worthy Doctor accepted. On arriv> ving at the merchant's houae he was shown i into an elegant apartment, w here a most charming woman and two lovely children i welcomed him in the most friendly manner ; which reception surprised him the f more, eoming from persons he had never before met. ' /linn/ir tlio !?? ?!.?? ? , mimiivi miv iiicfviimii imviujr mh(!|| ? him into hi# counting house, seized his hand, and having pressed it with friendly warmth, said to him,? r 44I >o you not recollect me ?n ' No, said the doctor. 44 Well, then, I remember you well, and your features never will be obliterated from my memory?for to you I owe my ? life, Uo you not remember the poor de> serterf On leaving you I went to IIol I <nd. Writing a good hand and being a t good accountant, 1 so ?n obtained a aitua t}on as clerk in a merchant'# office.

When he re | tired from business, I succeeded him, ntul! v I been 1110 his son-in-law ; but without you, I o J without your care, without yourgeherous | f j assistance, I should not have lived to en-1 \ j joy so much happiuess.

I The kind I >octor was affected even to' t i tears; and both those happy beings parti- J i | cipated in the most delightful expression of j 1 ! their feelings, which were soon shared bv j t the merchant's interesting family who j 'I | came to join liiui. J i I " Kiss ine Mamma, Do kiss me, I can't j go to sleep. | "The child was so sensitive, so like that 'j ' little shrinking plant, that curls at a breath, I ;1 1 and shuts its heart from the light."

She 1 lies in her little tomb: there is a marble urn at her head, and a rose-bush at her feet: there grow sweet summer flowers; there waves the gentle grass; there birds sing their matins, and veajtere; there the blue skv smiles down to-dav, and there | lies buried the freshness of my heart. Parents, you should have heard the pathos in the voice of that stricken mother, as she said, "There are plants that spring into greater vigor if the heavy | pressure of a footstep crush them; hut oh!

Quite an excitement w as hut a few days since created in certain circles in "upper ten doni" in ci>nso<picnec of an emente which occured in one of the fashinahle ice cream saloons on Broadway wherein a fashionable married lady and a young and beautiful girl were the participants.
