Frank laughed and reddened a little as his room-mate. Howard I Leii, carelessly put the question. Blushing, ch ?" pursued the lat ter, with a species of mischievous malice in his voice: "then, of colirse I am to conclude that you have been in the ch.ringsociet.y of s;ome young lady." "you nre partly right." said Tracy, lightly, "but the lady is a very little lady. To tell you the truth, I have been spending the evening at Mrs. Walton's and playing with that charming baby of her's. I never saw such a little Hfebe in myv life. Why, I conid have sat For hloUrS With that baby on my1 knee!" "Tiien I am to conclude that she neither chewed your cravat ends nor jerked at your watch chain, to say nothing of crying!" "Not a bit of it. She's the most periect little piece of flesh and blood I ever saw in my lif*e. If I thought she would grow up half ais pretty as she is now, upon my life I would wait for her!' "And what would Leonore War ren say?" "Ah, what indeeed ! I'm glad you've recalled me loyalty ; though, certainly Le'onore can't very well Ibe jealous of my tiny flirtations with Mr's. Walton's baby. Heigho. I sometimes think I've made a mistake in engaging myself to Leonore Warren. She's as beautiful ;aSan antgel, and yet, SOmehow,~ we don't seem to b3 congenial." "Ratber late-to think of that, I shouid imagine, when the wvedding~ day is fixed, and passag2 taken in theddingopean steamer for the hwdn touir. By th~e wazy, F'rank, hwlong will you remain in Europe?" "I can't say; some years I be lieve. Leonore thinks a residence in Paris will be delightful. I don't, agicree with her, but brides, you know, are privileged to have their own way. I'll tell youi what, Howard, the preuttiest pink coral in NalesC shall be sent to hang around the ivory necck of Mrs. Walton's baby." "Fraink, how fond you are of~ children ?" You ire wrong there, my bov I am not fond of children, gen erally speaking, but I don't k-now who could help loving that litt le brown ey ed seraph." Frank took up the newspaper as he spoke, and the conversation gradually merged into the all-en trancing subject of politics, fo eign and (domestie Twenty years have ebbed and flowed in the broad channel ot time, and Mr. and Mrs. racy. haid just taken possession of their ele gant home, after a long residencc abroad. IL was evening. The gilded clock on thbe man tel pointed tb the hour of seven, the fire bu.rn ed clearly in the ornamental grate, and the flowers in the several vases on each side of the chiminey p)iece, w :re scarcely brighter i their hues thai. the pictured blos somns of the sup)erb velvet earpet. Frank T racy, who had changed from a handsome youth into a taill, stately man of abont forty. stood thoughtfully before the fire, while hislanud, faded looking wife, reclined on a sofa in the lustrous shine of the glowing chandeliers ,Therec was only one guest present to break the monotony of the i congn etea-LeLe ad he ma I our old acquaintance, Howard Leigh. "1 do wish. Frank. vou would'nt keep drumming with your fitigers on the mantel: it makes me ner vous; but, of Conrse. you do 11nt care ior that." exclaimed Mrs. Tracy. petilantly. "I beg pardon my love I was not aware that I was annovin Von.. 1Vhy don't the servant bringr up the chocolate?" puirsned -Mrs. Trocy',, l ttn her ey1r.:. .Shall I ring and inquire ?' "No, it isnt worth while. If we had only remained in la belle Paris, where the servants under stood their business." "Then you preferred Paris as a residence?" said Leigh. -v, by all means. but Frank lnever could be contented there. It is the most absurd whim of his. returning to America?" "You fOrget, Leonore, said Frank, somewhat gravely. "that Aimerica is ot.lrn home! Mrs. Tracy tossed her head and to-.-k refuge in a bottle of smelling salts. H'r husband turned care lessly to Leigh and resuned the conversation that her petulance had disturbed. "I haven't asked yet whether my old ac(uaintances. the Wal tons. are living or dead. You Laven't forgotten my penchant for the beautiful baby ?" "'Oh tihe Waltons disappeared long ago from the current. of New York life. Be failed or sofmet hilng --blew his brains ou t, I believe.

All at once the door was thrown open. and two or three rosy chil. dren bonnded into the room. with I shining curls hanging on their shoulders. and eyes all in a sparkle with infantile merriment. "Don't you come near me, you noisy little monsters!" iisped Leoniore, waving them away with er SOwy. jewele'd had, "you'll crush mny silks and laces ruinous ly!" No w ord of reproof. however, fell1 from Frank Tracy's lip's, aS the little ones climbed oil his knee and liung around his neck. Thosu ebihdren were the surishine of his life; he endured hi.a wife, but he idolized his children. "Poor Tracy, its ante plain to see he is not happy," sa'd Lei1h. that evening as he was taking his case within his cosy home circle. "That wife of his is enough to drive a man distracted. ! wo3nde he don't commit suicide !' And so, some days afterward, when the sudden death of Mrs. Tracy was announced, in a news pap)er-ailment. disease of the heart-his fir-st thought was: 'What a lucky thing for Frank. It was scarcely a year after Mrs. Tracy's decease, and the widower sitting alr,ne in his study, when Ifoward Leigh was an "Well, my dear friend !" was his smiling salutation, "w hat news do bring me?" ?:Cap)ital news !" saiid Leigh. 'Do you know I have just enlgagedl a splendid governess for your childt en?" "I am glad of it; the little re bels are getting quite beyond my man agemen t. They need some gentle, afiectionate female influence." "And they'll ha;ve it. Thiis is one of the finest girls I have seen for a Ion g time. She has beeni reaching in an academy, but thinks she should prefer a situ. tioni in some private family. She is all grace and gentle dignity "I am dleligh ted at your succes. W hen will she come to takeI chargze of my childran ?" "Th5is evening. But [ haven't told you the strangest coincidence of ali 'Who do you suppose she is ?" "I'm sure I can't imagine." "Her name is Agones Walton; sbe is the same whom you took such a fancy to in the days of her baby hood. I can tell you, she dlon't know you were an old beau ofi her's, else she would shrink from assuming this responsible situation in your family !" "Nonsense !' said Tracy half langhing, half embarrassed. "But I*am sorry she is reduced to the life of a governess." Nothing more wvas said on the subject, and several, times that afternoon it recurred to Frank Trrac's mind, He wished he could see her. The gas had been lighted, how ever, and thle little girls were safe ly tucked up) in bed, af..er havingz said their prayers on "paPa's" knees, before the new governess was announced. "Miss Walton pray be seated." He saw at the first jdance that the pretty baby bad grown into an exquisitely lovely girl of twen Poor A gIes -she had bei'nl ,o miIchI ac(t-uItomed to) rs anid VObN leglect at the h.nd of the wVIrbi, that Mc..

Yet when Frank told her of tlhe years Ile had secretly wo0Sripped at the shrine of "Mrs Walton's pretty ba V 'h didsb 't think it so very stae aterl. Thus it was that Frank Tra"r ma:n-red his beautii'l second wif anid the litue ones, instead of a governess got a mamima, whomn 1i li Minnie confidentialiv inifornmed in' rsist e, 'sne lii.ed a great deal better than tihe old mainmma, who was al ways atraid of' havi!;g her hinir or collar (i;arira;gcd. while new mam m liked to have her little gir!s hg anl kiss her." And I1oward Leigh was sati. fi'cd that his friend had married the right person at last. SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD. As many of our readers use this expression or have heard it, we reproduce here an enumeration of tie seven wonders, knowing th:t they are new to nny of them. The seven wonders of the world are among the tradition of childhood. and yet it is a remark able fact that 99 persons out of 100 who might be asked the ques tion could not name them. Thev are the pyramids-the mystery of the past-the enigma of the pres ent-and the enduring for the future ages of this world. The temple, tie walls and hangin gardens of Babylon. the moSt celebrated city of Assyriat. and the resideince of the kinig of that coun try aftei- the destruction of Nine veh. The Chrryselphan tine stat ue of Jupiter Olympus, the most r niowned work of Phidias, the i! I ustrios artist of Greece. T1he statue was formed of' gold, andr was sitting on a throne almost touching the summit, of the tem pe. which was 70 feet hrigh. The temle of Diana at Ephesus, which was 220 years ini building, and whieb was 425 feet in length and 220 feet in breadth, and supported by 117 marble columns of the Ionic order,G0 feet hrigh. T he Mausoleu mn at lIarlicarnassus, erected to the memory of Mausolus, the Kinrg of the Caria, by his wife A rtemecsia, B. C.. 35:3. T he Pharos at Alex andria, a lighthouse ereeted by1 Ptolemy Soteri at the entrance of the harbor of Alexandria. It was 450 feet high, and cotuld be seen at a distance of .100 miles, and upon which is ir'scri bed "Kinrg Ptolemy. to the gods, the saviors, for thre benefit of sailors." Lastly, the Colossus at Rhodes, a brazen image of Apolio, 104 Grecian feet in height. and v:hich was located at tire enrtrance of one of the harbor of' thle city of Rhodes.

Yes, they weore genuine pasteboards. But our sur prise grew intense as we saw in the place of the Jack-that little devil -arid the queen, and his pieh'ald majesty the king, such prosaic creatu res as Johnii the Baptist., John G.

It pained us to see John the Baptist-whiose raiment was of camels hair and ;i hose meat was locusts anid wild honey ministering to youthflU!dissipation, Alh! we sigh for the piast, when we used to retire from the too close observation of our fond parents to enjoy a good game of Hi igvh-Low Lo'v-Jack in the hayvmow.

EXPLORTING VEsuvIUs-wIo ) DID IT -liOW THEY wENT IN AND HOW THEY DiD NT COME OUT. In a late letter from Naples a oles)oIldent of the New York Siun tells how, in Septemlber last. two tourists, an Eniglishilman and aniAmrican, obstinatel % (11S regarding the entreaties of their uides, insisted upon being lower ed down inato the dlark cav-erns immnediately under the orifice of' he erster of 3iount Vesuius, and those diarinlg tourists have not sinco be en beard of. When the news~ reached Naples, that city wa filled with horror, and for weeks sueceeding the disaster few tourists ventured to the mountain. Recently a similar calamity occur ed, and almos~t uinder the same circnmstances. The victims in this instaince were Jean Le Mieux. Belgium. and Louis Schmidt of Berne.ofSwizerland. They were remaining at a respectable locanda or boarding house on the Chisja, when a party was formed to make the ascent together, and it is strainge that on the morning of the nighit when they started for l?e-iina, (a v.illage at the foot of M1ount V esuvius where~ horses, stalfs, and guides arxe procured,) Schmidt received a letter from his sister, at Gienoa. in which she stat el thait it would( not reach Naples long in advance of herself. Schimidit therefole begged his comnpaiioins to release him from his promise to starit for Resmna that niight, hut acs he had projected the excursion they insisted upon his going. elchmiidt, after makingc arrangeC ments with his landlady for the reception of his sister, started with is comnpaniions oni Tuesday nigrht for Vesuvius. They left Riesina at one ini the miorning so that they might reach the base of the crater in time to witness the ris. ing of the sun above the peaks of the surrounding Alps and Apen nlinets. Hjaving reached the end of their romantic journey-the su minct of the volcano-every'. h ing~ was quie t as upon some seeluded rustic hill. and Le Mieux colledd upon any of tihe party to join him in going dogvn the crater. The guides are always provided with r-opes.eit her for that purpose or for~ assistinug lum bersomne tiravellers up the last r>ortion of the steep as:cent. Svhmnidt~agreed to accompany Le 3ieiux, and ini spit.e of the re mnonstrances of theit r guides each took hold of a loop aud swung himself over the gloomy void whence issued tremendous showers cof ashes and streams of lava which buried in a single night the famous cities of Pompeii and Herealaneum.

A nlaiielo!v ease of suiei le oc curred at Di Tolts Pan on Thurs dIy night last. A gentleman of the name of Martin 1lartman, a native of Germany and iormerly a captain in the Anerican army. shot himselt about fifty yards from his tent. Deceased was thirty-six y ears of age. It appears that iLt terv lie h:il hon !f.,im dlinr to n himselftshort otmeans for continu ing his practices, he drew 11pupo his brothier, a merehant in L->nd1mj to the amount of about X40. The drafts. it would seem, were'either dishonored or he cared they woni he dishounored, and the disgrace w lich was sure to follow so prey ed upon his mind that he became dected and resolved to put an Omi to himself. In this melan coly fraime of mind lie is said to bare entored a grambling hell on he night in question, and in a state of desperation staked his all -we believe about :10-wiCh he had previously kept for the PU!rpose of enabling' him to return home. Like too many more un ortunate and deluded young men. le lost his all, and-he was desti tu1te. Ile then proceeded to a fieind's tent, borrowed a loaded revolver, placed the end of the barrel to his mouth and blew hIS brains out. This is a sad, very sad case- but we trust it will prove a terrible warning to the young Wbose tendencies may be in the samne direction as were those of poor Hartman.

In thi:i way the load is started from the woodshed,. tellar or- gar ret, tovdal the parlor. Going thiong the door. the head of the family will carefuli swing his side of the stove around aud jamb hii thumnb nail agains the dour post. This part of' the ceremony is nevtr omitted.

Theu the head of the family holds up one side of the stove, w hi is ie . io puts :he legs in place and next he holds up the other sides while the other two arc fixed, and one of the first two falls out.

In getting down he will step ori thde cat, and may I hank his stars it is not the baby. Trhen he gets on an old chair and climbs up to the chimmey again. to find that in cutting the pipe off, the end has been left too big for the hole in the chimney.
