They walked out of the room. Mrs. BrighL shrugged her fat shoul ders. "A couple of old slander-mon gers," she said; "and now they mnfit try to make little Eva Willis anoomfortable." Mrs. Bright, Mrs. Martin, and Urs. Glenn boarded, with their busbands, at the fashionable estab. ishment of Mrs. Roger Black. Mr. tnd Mrs. Willis lived next door; md all of them attended the same ,hurch. Either the latter pair were I yeculiarly fond of each other, or i vere more disposed to show their ondness than most people are; but I ,ertainly they were known as a ( aodel couple.

'You don't often faint, do you? asked Mrs. C-lenn. 'I-never,' said Mrs. Willis. -That is well,' said Mrs. Martin. 'I fear we will agitate you very much.' Mrs. Willis began to look grave.

'Mrs. Willis, I feel it my duty, as member, to warn you that you hould not have earthly idols. Your ne thought appears to be your Lusband. There are other people o whom terrible things could hay ien.

SEEING THE RESPONSIBLE EDITOR. That very clever story, "The. Ty ranteler of Calviras," just now going the rounds, recalls an accident which took place in the New Orleans Pica yune office many years ago, when George Washington Reeder was very small, not over 4 feet 6 inches in height, and singularly youthful in appearance, and given to a pompous, overwhelming, elaborate politeness, which in connection with his di minutive stature and magnificent costume, generally reminded one of a benevolent but highly diplomatic tomtit. Apart from his journalistic pursuits, Reeder had quite a name in the theatrical line, being a dilet tante comedian of considerable me rit. ' Everybody liked him, laughed kindly at his little peculiarities, and respected the brave and chivalrous spirit which they had found to be among his characteristics. To see Reeder in the editorial room receiving an irate party, a.nd particularly one of the rougher ape cies, was a privilege t'o be eternally grateful for. His microscopic size, his gorgeous toilet, his profuse courtesy, and his grandiloquent address were simply amusing. Call ers with well defined injuries, but limited intellect, went away in the firm conviction, that Reeder thought them the purest, loftiest, and most persecuted of mortals. Entering the Picayune office with the rooted purpose of mangling and bruising the managers of their complications, they would retire, believing that Reedsr was too angelic for this world, and that his references to them were only made after a bitter struggle with remorseless duty and at the expense of a bleeding heart. He was perfectly ready to fight, however, whenever the case demand ad it ; and thereby hangs a tale. One day an enormous, rough, Eerocious looking man entered the >ffice and inquired for the Editor. iinch to his sorrow, Reeder had o0 say.that the editor was absent. "I'm sorry o' that," said the big nan, sitting down and depositing large mangy carbet bag near his hair. "I stopped over one day nist to see him. I'm from Texas, r'ou know, and I saw something Lbout Texas in this morning's Pica mnne that sorter riles me. I was ~oing home, but I thought I'd like o see that editor before I went, so Ls I could tell the boys what pass ~d. I want to see him alone for Lbout'two minutes--that's all. And iere the visitor's voice grew plain ive, and his fingers played with he hilt'of a Colt's army revolver thich hung in full view from his >blt. "-I regret extremely, sir, that the ditor happens to be out, jus~t now. feel sure from the impression you nake on me, that he would esteem t a privilege to meet you. He rould like to take back to Texas Lis a.ssurance of friendship and ad iiration. Couldn't y.ou, my dear ir, couldn't you cal1-a little later." "Well, T guess 1 will come again, >ng as I'm here till to-morrow any~ .ow. You see, it would make things asier like if I was to meet the ditor." About six o'clock in the afternoon e returned. :Nobody but Reeder appened to be in. "So sorry, my dear sir, but the ditor has not yet appeared. Pray e seated, sir, and permit me to en >y the accident which made us ac uainted." "Now I think this rather, a hard 1 ise," said the' brawny Texan,. who a tid he was beginning "to get -imlk atient. Here's a paper that pitches kto Texast and, so to anealek1 l- 1 u rags the Texans, and, when I ca to see about it, there's no one ir Where I live things are differen1 I If a paper makes any unpleasant re marks about a gentleman, we a: ways know what to do. We jus walk around to the office, and th editor's there, ready to give it to u , any way we want it. But here yoi 1 have other fashions. You go fo: 1 Texas like blazes in the morning and when I call-being the on1: Texan in town-to chaw up the editor a little and swap bullets witi him in a genteel way, I can't fini my man. I don't like it. If a pape: baaters fellows this sort of way, i1 ought to have a responsible man-' "Pardon me," said Reeder, step ping daintily into the middle of the room, with one hand thrust intc his bosom and a face literally beam ing with good nature. "Pardon me a thousand times. I quite misun derstood you. I supposed you want ed to see the chief editor only. ~ If it is a responsible man you're seek ing, that's another thing." "Certainly. That's all I want; a responsible man-somebody I can rassel about this article. That's what I've been saying all the time." "Behold him! George Washington Reeder, at your service, sir. I'm the responsible man of this paper, sir." The astonished giant looked at Reeder, and then at his pistol, which was nearly as large as Reed er, and his face became a battle ground where surprise, disappoint ment, disgust and amusement strug gled for predominance. Then he stuck the pistol back into the case, picked up his carpet-bag, and, eye ing Reeder all over with disparag ing regard, blurted out the exclama tion: "Jerusalem!" And left, a swindled and an in jured man. TF,LL YouR MoTmm.-I . wonder how many girls tell their mother everything. Not those "young la dies" who,.going to and from school, smile, bow, and exchange notes and picturds with young men, who make fan of them and their pic'tures, speaking in a. way that would make. their cheeks burn with shame if they heard it. Ail this, most credu lous .and romantic -young- ladies, they will do, although they will gaze at your' fresh young face ad miringly, and send or give you charming 'verses or bouquets. No matter what "other girls do," don't you do it.. School. girl flirtations may end disastrously, .as - many a foolish, wretched young girl could tell you. Your yearning for some one to love is a great need of every woman's heart. Bat there is a time for everything. 'Don't let the bloom and freshness of your heart be bruised off insilly flirtations. Ben der yourself truly intelligent. And above all, tell your mother every thing. Never be ashamed to tell her, who should be your best friend and confidant, all you think and fe'el. It is strange that many young girls will tell every person before "mother" that which is most impor tant that she should know. It is said that indifferent persons kno w miore about her fair young daughter Lhan she does herself. (Washington Chronicle. VasSHD BY A CAT.-Mr. Ste phen Peer, the funambulist or rope valker, who has a cable stretched across the Niagara river just below the new Suspension Bridge, and gives exhibitions of his skill in rope wvalking, came near meeting with an accident the other day, but for his agility,would undoubtedly have end 3d his career as a rope walker. He 3onceived the brilliant idea of taking a cat on the rope, and.starting it on thead of him, in order to have ~wo sensations at the -same time. WVhen about thirty feet from the shore he sat the cat on the1 rope, expecting, of course, that 'the ~eline would show the thinig was] lone as well as he could do'it him elf. But the cat was 'not at all< nxous for funambulism, and in- j ~tead of making a bee line across, i urned 'upon Peer, climbed upon< irn, and fastened his teeth in his< houlder. In his efforts to disen- ] age 'the cat he missed his footing, < nad had' 'to drop' his balance pole, i vhich 'fell on the rock.s.below and i vas broken. Peer himself scram- < >led along the rope back to the hore the best way he could. He ucceeded in reachi.ng terra firma, i mnt 'the exhibition of the day was rought to a close.' The pocket book taken from the >erson of Maj. John Andre by his aptors, Sep. 23, 1780, has been resented to the Connecticut 'isto ical Society, by the .Rev. A. L. Vhi'tman, of Groton, Conn.

Two farmers living on adjoininj farms in Girard township, Eri county, Pennsylvania, have for year been unfriendly, o account of th disagreement about the line fene which separated their lands, bot claimina the ten -feet which was for merly the lane running betwe6i the two places. Their children hav, grown up inheriting their parents animosity, and their eldest sonF have several times been subponaei aS witnesses in lawsuits which have grown out of this diffeulty. The case has been a sort of suit in chan cery, having run on from year tc year both men spending their money in lawyers' fees, without any legal conclusion. About a year ago the two farmers awoke one Monday morning to find that each had lost a child, one his youngest son and the other his only daughter Like the two houses of Montague and Capulet, in "Romeo and Juliet," the scions of the two rivals houses had secretly che rished a fondness for one another, and, knowing the feud between the families, without divulging their passions or intention they met clandestinely and carried into effect an elopement. A week passed, at the end of which the father of the runaway daughter was called on to go to Erie and at tend again to the everlasting law suit. He went in early to the office of the lawyer, and taking up one of his weekly papers, read the mar riage notice of Emma. It was a terrible blow, and he went out into the yard to try and walk off his fe ver of excitement. All that passed through the old gentleinan's mind is noI known, but there seemed to be a desperate struggle within which resulted in his returning to the lawyer's office and postponing the business. Then he drove directly to his farm and had a long private interview with his wife; and then he did what he had not done for twenty years-went over and call ed on his enemy. He was found sick, having been confined to his room.since the abandonment of his favorite son. But the two farmers met, and both for a few minutes stood face to face in profound si lence. Att length the father of Emma spoke: "I have come to settle the dis pute.; let the children have the lot on either side of the lane; and I will build them a house." *"And I will furnish it." So the recreant children w.ere sent for and forgiven, and came home to receive their parents' bless ing.~ And -now there are "no~ more lawyers for the etwo farmers, but each.has*faithfully fulfilled his-con tract in regard to the house and furniture. - TGOOD Ecosomsos.-Freneh peo ple have a knack of making a little go a great way. In tihe first place, not an ounce of food is wasted in harvesting or preparing for mar ket. In the next place, not an once more of vegetable, flesh, fish or fowl, groceries or liqjuids, than is really needed, ever goes in the pot or kettle, or is placed on the table. The wife' of every French family knows to a- nicety, what quantity of each kind of food is the least that will suffice to make a comfortable meal, and not . a particle more than that is cooked or served. There tre no slop-buckets full of broken victuals left on a table, after break East or dinner, to be thrown on the street or inanure heap, or flung to logs or swine, as in America. No >ieces of bread and meat, or vegeta les, are thrown away; such quanti ;ies are not bought~ as to bec6me tale or spoiled in the cellar or pan :ry. Servants are never permitted ~o waste or steal food for poor rela ions, as in America. The house yife looks after the marketing, her ~itchen, and her pantry, with sharp ~yes and unflagging care. The' ~conomy in the consumption of fuel i oi- cooking and house-warming is i mmense, as compared with that in I >ur wasteful country. One reason., f course, is, that wood and coal in 1 prance are scarce and dear. They I ost at least double the price paid t herefor in the United States; but C he domestic consumption la not one < tuafter as much.t The Bethlehem (Pa.)

Multitudes of men and womer e have made their eyes weak for lif( s by. the too free use of eyesigbt, a reading fine print and doing fine 3 sewing. In view of these things it i is well to observe the following - rules in the use of the eyes: Avoid all sudden changes between light and darkness. Never read by twilight or on a very cloudy day. Never sleep so that on waking the eyes shall open on the light of the window. Do not use eyesight by light so scant that it requires an effort to discriminate. Never read or sew directly in front of the light of the window. It is best to have the light from above, or obliquely, or over the left shoulder. Too much light creates a glare, and pains and confuses the sight. The moment you are sensible of an effort to di itinguish, that moment stop and talk, walk or ride. As the sky is blue and the earth green, it would seem that the ceiling. should be of a bluish tinge, the car pet greeff, and the walls of some mellow tint. The moment you are instinctively inclined to rub the eyes, that mo ment cease to use them. If the eyelids are glued together on waking do not forcibly open them, but apply saliva with the fin ger, and then wash your eyes and face with warm water. PAis AT MmNI-uG.-I walked to my quarters from a meeting of A.nericans and Parisians, says For ney, late the other night alone. It was half-past twelve, and the gay crowds were rapidly dispersing. I sauntered through the Champs Ely sees; the lights of the little theatres were fading out ; the music was over and the booths were silent; Punch and Judy had gone to bed; the fly ing horses were at rest after a hard day's work, and the tired feet of the tinselled dancers were in iepose. But every^ few fIaMs thdr3e was a policeman or gensd'armes in clean uniform with his medal on his breast, watchful and poli' 9. Long rows of little iron .chairs used by the people, from which to see the sights, and hired out for a son, were exposed under the trees, and, like the flowers in the unfenced squares, were safe from prowlers. As I loitered on, a woman with a sweet face, in exquisite .dress, stop ped before me and spoke in her best French. 'I answered her in my best American, and after a good deal of conversation, we parted friends in the innocent consciousness that neither. understood what the other lyd said. It is the only time, since I have 'been here, that I have pro fited by my ignorance of the French. A STiTUa QUESTIoN.-A poor child, straying into a Sunday-school one day, asked simply : "Is this the way to heaven ?" The superintend ent was for a moment startled. Wasi his school, indeed, the way to heav enu? Was he trying to make it so ? Were his teachers intent upon the same object ? The artless question< struck home. From desk to class f the question went around with a, thrill. What.were they all doing? Whither were they all tending? I r he question was like an angel sud- 1 ilenly come into their midst to make s ecord of what transpired in that c school. Oh! superintendents,.teach- ' ars, make sure of this one. thing :t WVith all your .efforts to impart s mnowledge, make the salvation ofi ;he soul of paramount interest.- t WVhe.her your school be a model, or r e struggling up to perfection, be t sure that every scholar shall feel d ~hat it is the road to heaven.a A curious incident recently occur ~ed on a Western train. As the ~ars were moving away from the c ['erre Haute depot, a pretty young a voinan came irom the ladies' car, e nd, rushing .into the smoking car, g rantically appealed to everybody to. o top the ti-ain. . Catching sight of d he conductor,she exclaimed piteous- c; y. "Mfr. Conductor, do please stop o he train ! I've left my.baby !" The ft rain was stopped and the baby re- c< overed, amidst the hearty cheers. ei fi the people on the platform and 1c he passengers; and while the young c aiother laughed azul cried and hug- ti ed her little one, she tried to ex- g: lain how the baby was such a new- e: ne that she hadn't got use to it. a -. l The Rev.

The greatest difficulty in the way of properly rearing children is that their clders forget that they were ever children themselv'es. Parents, with all their lore .and tenderness, are often so unmind ful of the extreme sensibility of their offspring that they think to amuse by frightening them. This is like tickling them with a nee d1c; it is all pain and no pleasure. Because a fright is intended to be a joke, it is no reason that it is so understood, especially by the little folks, who are altogether literal ists. Nothing can be worse for a child than to frighten it. The ef fect of the scare it is slow to re- l cover from ; it remains sometimes until maturity, as is shown by many instances of morbid sensi tiveness and excessive nervous ness. Not unfrequently, fear is em ployed as a means of discipline. Cbildrcn are controlled by being made to believe that something terrible will happen to them ;. are 8 punished by being shut up in C dark rooms, or by- being put' in r places they stand in dread of. No ! one, without vivid memory of his own childhood can comprehend C how entirely cruel such things are. We have often heard grown persons tell of the suffering they n have endured. as children, under 81 like circumstances, and recount a the irreparable injury which they are sure they then received. No parent, no nurse, capable of alarm- -h ing theyoung, isfitted forherposi-k tion. Children, as near as possi ble, should be trained not to know c the sense of fear, which, above:ev- d erything else, is to be feared, in their education both early and late. ti iU SAVING &ND HAVING. 1a -ic Either a man must be content ei with poverty all his life, or-else be T willing to deny himself some lax- b, uries, and save, to lay -the base of AT independence in the. future. .But "] if a man defies the. future and et spends all that he earns (whether eC his earnings be $1 or $40. every rn week,) let him look lean and hun- sI gry, for want at some future time lii will surely come, no matter what Pl be.thinks. To save is absolutely gi the.only way to get a solid sp fortune; there is no other cer- w tain mode on earth. Those who ki shut their eyes and ears to these ro plain facts will be forever poor, ey and for tbeir obstinate rejection of m Lhe truth, mnayhap will die in rags gr ind filth. Let thenm die so and Lhank ourselves. But, no! They take a sort of ecompense in cursing fortune. reat waste of breath !
