DOBBS MAKES A VOW. ---o Dobbs finally abandoned his mat rimonial intentions and resolved to ive the secluded lifo of a bachelor. Nevermore would ho dream of matrimony, and novormiore of the widow Spriggins. Hie wvas going to be a bachelor misanthirope in the future and not be posteredl to death by the fair sex, intd the harrowing thoughts caused by dreaming of them. So long as lbe dreamed of matrimony, just so long was lie ini trouble. Heb was not going to have it any more. He would be as free and uncon fined as the winds of the field, with undisputed powo'r to go and como1 when lie choose without be ing bedoviled b)y somel imnaginary picture of a fair maid of sixteen summers who might possibly be all iln tall to him in the misty future. No ! Hie had made up his mind. The future should see hum an honorable celibate of great respectability. There is not the slightest doubt but thiaf Dobbs)1 wafs very earnest in his resolves but like a great many others he was not specially struck wvith tihe mnagnitude of thorm. Be it to his praise, however, that he kept them for a number of days, ana stayed entirely away from the widow Spriggins. A short time subsequent to his avowal of nevermore mingling with the fair sex, lie resolved to go hunt ing ; and for that purpose, strapped on his game bag, shouldered his gun and Rallied forth. The morning was unusually pleas ant, and Dobbs being ini an envia ble frame of mind whistled awvay as he strolled along. Dobbs was not, in tile common acceptance of the word, a skilled sportsman, hience it was some min utes before lie sighted gatne. He had no sooner "sighted" than lie carefully alpronohod thme lace, p)lacod the gun to his shoulder, took deliberate aim, and pulled the ti'ig ger. The lock flew down, but there was no report. What wvas the mat ter ? Hie scrutinized thie gun. There wvere no cap on the tube. Adjusting one he again raised the gan % his shoulder, took aim blazed alway'.' Other than thme sharp noise of' the cap there was no report. Dobbg gy~ plizzled,, he took out the ramrod anid thrust it into the bar reI. It~ went its the whole lesgtu, 1"W11, tdaccard," mutteredlIobbs', gl inoing arcauWd to see if any one h4 been looking, "I beliefe the thin isnt loded. Ile wis never moro correct. But il a moment the gun wias chargem anud fired. It went off with a lou< report., and the bird fell to ti ground. )obbs Witlh anXious eyes rivetO( on the spot, sprang forward, but I had not proceeded a rod before I went headlong down an embank mont. He did not stop to contemplat his situlation, but rose wrathful, aM Comm111enced(l lookiig for hisi hat the wihile interspersing his ondeav ors with a few words not given ii Webster .-He would havo gottell over hi little difliulty and conlsequent 111r tification had it not been that a low silvery, girlish laugh struck uncom fortably Oil his var at that llolliel t 11H stared arounlid in amazoment but nothing meeting his gaze hic mame to the Conclusion that tl< sound was tile hypochondria of hi imaginiation. He did not succec in getting the game, but lie thier rund there resolved not to returr home until ho had gotten at least a modicum part of what he'd original ly -figured on; so taking his gun lie passed a few rodH to the left and r,ommenced scrutinizing the adja cent trees. Presently he described I squirrel. Raising his gun to hif shouldoe, he took deliberate aim, aid was on the point of firing wher a loud female shriek, and the words "Don't shoot me, Dobsy !" greetod his ears! The gun dropped suddenly to th< ground-Dobbs peered curiously about, but failed to discover any Iuman being. Convinced agair that it was lerely his imagination he brought the gun to his shoulder t>ok deliberate aim and fired. "Murder ! Murder !" shriekod a voice closely rosembling the wido%v Spriggins. "Good gracious! What have ] dono?" and the horrified Dobbs sprang forward. "Oh, dear-oh h," and in a moment Dobbs was bending over the form of a femal prostrate oi the earth with blooi upon upon her face. "Great Heavens ! It's the widov Spriggins ." and the astonishe Dobbs was down on his knees pray ing to Heaven to spare her life. "Oh, dear, I'm killed ; I know I am," and wvith a low gasp the widov Spriggins fell back in a dead faint Dobbs was in a dilomna. What '.ioild lie do? Which would be better-to procure assistance or as say to carry her home in Ilis arms No, thlis latter wvould never do ; ani be thonght of his resolve to be b ichelor, wvhile lie stared conlfusedl; ar'oundL. Wh ile he was dev'ising some p)lal of action, the eyes of the widov slowvly ulnclo.sed, and "Dobsy, wvhe r< FUm I ?" struck on1 his ear. D)obbs wvanted to tell her thi she was calmly reposing inihis arms but hoe thought of his vows,' an1 said: "Lucretia, you are ill Summer yille forest." "Oh dear, how strangeo; anld hov came you hero ?" "I came here to shoot the boas of the air aud the birds of the fiel -I-ah-that is-you knowv your self," and Dobbs paused ill grea con fusion. "Yes; go on." "Dobbs did go on and said: "Fairest Lucretia, I-I think wi had better -return home." "No,". faintly replied the siren, " am quite comfQrtable," and she ens a melting glance upon the porpio., ed Dobbs. Dobbs began pondering over th situation. Wha wold the gooc folks of Sumthorvillo- think if- the knew lie was out in the woods wit a widow. He, felt uneasy. Ther was pathos -in his voice, wvhen h askodl "Lucoretia can I assist~ you t "No," camoe from the virgin lipt "Hang it !" was the mental exclr mation of Dobbs. "What an a gravatinig difficulty I'm getting int< Just think of it ; here I1 have mad vows not to be seen in the pret ence of a woman, and here I . at downi ill the dirt, holding the hea of a blasted-oh, it's too horrible t think of. If I ever get out this fi, I'll away to some unknowvn clim where widows are not fashionableo He p)aused for breath, and Mrn Spx'iggins piped out "Dobsy, where am I hurt ?" "Gracious, I had not thought< that." and he turned his eye upo the perfectly sound countenance < the fair being at his side. "Nqwhiere," he rejoined, after has'ty inspection ; "But there is bloo on your face." "Then I have been shot." Dobbp looked closer., IXt dy} n< really 1Edi 'like bllood. YWhftt it then ? That it was not bloo wAse a settled fact in his mind. Ho iid saarnal formna this ln t pression when widow Spriggins I turned her mellow, blue eyes art i lessly up to his and said in the 3 faintest possible voice "I have hear1, dear Dobsy, that 1 you have uttered ia solemin vow that 3 you will never get married, but will ) remain a i respectable colibato." If a gun had gone off In the im mediate rear of Dobbs, he could inot have boon more astonished. lie I stare( bliikly arounld. What an swer must ho imac ? He Was afraid if he informed her that such was thle caso, sh would leave him, wie he -would not have happen I for worls. For the fact of it was, Dobbs was extremely happy in the presence of the fair widow, though an avowed Celibate. H1e m1ade no answer to tho ques tion adrressed to him, buwntwnt o ai loig retrospective journey back through tihe misty years fled-and 1 before lie was cognizant (f it le was ill somne such frai3me of mind regard. ing Imlatrimony and the widow, as is the would-be temperance incbri ate just before raising the fatil glass to his lips. Dobbs began to be strangely im pressed with the belief that if lie did not succeed in getting out of the presence of the widow in a short period of time that his celibate vows would not stand much of a chance. But after . repeated at tempts to free himself from the web thrown around him, he gave it ip and settled down to business, and before lie was specially struck with what he was doing, he had proposed! rhe widow aggravatingly remark ed that it would not do, since he was an avowed bachelor. "Blast the vows," was Dobbs ex clamation, and in desperation lie demanded "Will you have me?" "Certainly; but I do so hate to see a man break his honest vows." The "breaking of his honest vows" failed to afect the happy Dobbs. He was too overjoyed to hod such a thing. He looked at her, she smiled. He asked hor to set the day. She ob jected and he set it, and dear read er, without troubling you with further dry details-they were mar ried ! Dobbs afterwards found out that "his Mrs. D." had purposely gone to the woods with the intention of scaring him, and had furthermore daubed her face with elderberry juice-which gave him thc idlea that t she was wounded. Bun. (D[Ianbury~ News. .AN ALABAMA IE0OME IhOUSE. After a quick ride of three or four miles through the prairie, says a correspondent of the Newv York Times, we reached a small collec tioni of log cabins which surround ed an impliosing but dilapidated looking structure enclosed with a fence wvhich had fallen down in many places. The garden in front of the houses. was overgrown wvith -weeds, through which a rare flower occasionally forced its wvay. Clus tering rose vines clung to the moldering pillars wvhich supported thme broad balcony of the house; pointers. and deer..hounds ran un molested through boxwood hedges that must onice have been kept with i scrupuilous neatness, and funny looking little black boys and girls tramped at wvill .through the orange Sgroves which flanked the dwelling. This,. Dr. Armstead informed me, had once been the "home house" of one of -thme richest planters of the South. Since the war the seasons had been badl, the crops5 had failed, and the house wvas occu picd by an overseer wvho had charge of the estate. This I afterwvard dis covered consisted of no less than eleven thousand acres of rich land, which, on account of the change of labor and other causes, wvas now for the most p)art lying waste and Suncultivated. Entoring the house a novel sene presented itself. We were met at the door by Mr. Car ter, the overseer', who had been expecting uis, and wvere at once con ductedi through a large hallway into a wainscoted apartments in whieh three bedsteads were standing.~ They were groat, massive pk.eces of furniture, made of the finest mahog any, and having four immense posts of polished wood. These support ed a canopy of. .light carved oak, which, though old and worm eaten, gave.evidence of beauty and . artis a tie taste. The fine feather beds were covered with a promiscuous assortspont of torniarmy blankets atid . n linen sheets. Oh the wAUlk.o. er two rare and costly st*el e pviggs wore hung. This (1 w$9. al t4 r,emained of the former appointments of the chamber. The I- "mo9d-n inQ=mano" we-a mWtO as striking. In one corner a rude I pie table bore a cracked water-jar and basin, a huge lump of common browi soap, and at torn, rough towel. This completed the toilet appara t tus. A great firo of oak logs was 1 ):1rn1ing in a iammi noth fire )1 place, 10 and round this a num1ber of broken down chairs and stools woro placed. 1 While waitir:g for supper our party t gathered around the fire, and I soon disCOvered that thCir conversation. was far from being in keeping with , their rough appearance. The man with the torn hat wKs familiar with three or four languqges, had travel 3d on lnsively in Europe, ind spoke , easily of his former acquaintanve I with French counts and German arons. He of the boots and trou- C eis proved to be i brilliant con versationlalist, who in choice lan ilige Spoke sensibly of the condi- f Lion of his own and other Southern 1 itates. Dr. Aristad himself, hav - a ng all the appearanee f a careless Y so:ithern farmer, wah iot long in t: lisplaying a depth of leluning and lhoiglht which is seldom found in w Lhe so-called "best-circles" of North- 1 arn cities. All the gentlemen pres- e mit had before the war been rich a md prosperous. Now all of them, ,xcept perhaps the doctor, are in a onditioa of poverky that would be t iift'essing were it not for the sell iible way in which it is borne. Af- 8 .or we had rested from our ride the a verseor conducted us through the n :d house. It c:nsists of twenty five >r thirty rooms, which gave evi- 1) lence of having once been magnifi- l ently furnished. In one large v lpartment there are not less than v two thousand raro and -valuable b books. They are now moldy and 9? anopened. In what was once tle b Jrawing-room of the mansion old fl c>il-paintings, and a faded carpet in E keeping with the frescoed walls, spoak plainly of "tho days that are 1 gone." Nor is the condition of the house I have described al excep tiomial one. I am credibly inform- i that just, such places are to be found C in all the rich planting districts of 1 Alabama. c 0 WORK A BLESSING. e Many young men have fathers c that are well off and they have no ambition,and no particular prospect. r They scorn a trade. A man that is i too woll-born for a trade is very well I born for a gallows! Thousands of parents, who, by industry, have gained a position which enables , them to destroy their chlildr'en, take a the surest means of accomp~lishling t their destruction by encouraging them in idleness, and allowing t them as they grow up to feel that c it is disg-raceful to wvork at whlatev- c or' manual labor best suits his tal- t cnts, no matter wvhether his father t is a mminter, 01' a lawyer, 01r if sen. ator, or the President of the United e States. Many young men are look- 1 ing forwar.d upon life with the gen. c eral idea that they aro going to en joy themselves. They are lprovided c with all needful p)hysicatl comforts, r andl they mean to be happy. They I have no tr-ade. They slight their 'J p)rofession. Their whlole governing I principle in life is to shirk anythling like work ; and they expect to have y enjoymnent without industry. But f no man in this world will be hlappy c wvho violatos the fundamental lawv I of industry. You must work if you are going to be ahaippy nman. I knowv a you think it is hard ; but if God badr meant that you should be a butter- t fly, you would be born a butterfly. And as you were not born a moth or a miller, hut a mani, you must ac- I cept the conditions of your man hood. And if there is one pr-inciple that is more impiIortanit at the very a thIreshiold of life than another-, it is. that man is born to wor-k. ([Rural 2Vew Yoriler.

Sleep-Give yourself Uhe ne isary ami1oiit o f sleep. Some ien! re(lire five hours of the twen four ; others ieed eight. Avoid 'a1ther beds. Sleep in ia garment ot worn in the day. Sleep with perlson stronger or healthier than ,urself, or no one, and have pleln 7 ofJresl air in your room. hi 2. D.ess-Dress warmly, with A 'oolen underslirts and drawers, 01 cmovc llfier, overcoat,o vertisowi, Lc., whei romaining any consider ble length of time in at warik room. Xop your feet warm and dry. isi themll inl WarnI water. two or a iree times a week. Wear warm :ockings, large boots, and over boes when in snow or wet. \ear b< light covering on the head, keep- fJ ig it always cool. ol 3. Cleanliness--Have always a int or quart of water in the sleep- t ig room. In the morning after 1 -iping hands and face, then wet s: itli the hands every part of the e, ody. Cold water will not be disa- a recable when applying it with the s arei hinds. Wipe iinmediately ; (. )llow by brisk rubbing over the tj ody the whole operation necd ; ot take over five iminutes. The e 0sult of this wash is, the blood is rought to the surface of the skin, nid made to circulate o y c ni 1 y 0 lirough the body. You have open- i d the pores of the skin allowing it npuriLies of the body to pasi fy and have given yourself in the peration a good vigorous morning d xercise. Pursue this habit with egularily, and you will seldom take old. 4. Inflation of the lungs--Five iinutes spent in the open air, after tressing. inflating" the lungs by inhia ing as full a breath as possible and ounding tile brsast during the in ation will greatly enlarge the chest, treiigthen the nigpowr, and cry effectually ward off consumpi- 2 ion. 5. Diet-If inclined to be dyspep- a ic, avoid mince-pie, sausage and thmer highly seasoned food. Blewareh f eating too freely of soups :better f o eat dry food enough to emiiploy n lie neutral saliva of the mouth in wOistening it. If inclined to over at, partako freely of rice, cracked 'heat and other articles that are asily digested. Eat freely of ripe fruit, and avoid " xcessive use of meat. Eat at reg- a lar hours and lightly near the our of going to bed. Eat slowly. 'horoughly masticate die food. )o not wash it dowvn with continual n rink while eating. Tell1 your fun- a jest stories while at the table, and n ar an hour afterwards. D)o not ng~age in sev're ment al labor d irect. y after heartily eating. 6. Exercise, not too violent but ufficient to produce a genfio pe0rspi ation, should be had each (lay in lie open air. 7. Condition of mind--The con lition of mind has much to (do with a aelh.
