Dobbs finally abandoned his mat rimonial intentions and resolved to live the secluded life of a bachelor. Nevermore would he dream of -natrimony, and nevermore of the -dow Spriggins. He .was going to-be a bachelor misantlirope in the future and not be pestered-to death by thefair sex, and the harrowing thoughts caused by dreaming of them.: So long as he dreamed of matrimony, just so long was he in trouble. He was not going to have it any more. He would be as free and unrcon fined .as the winds of the field, with undisputed power to go and come when he choose without be ing bedevile<4 by some imaginary picture of a f'air maid of sixteen summers who might possibly be all in all to him in the misty future. No! He had made up his mind. The future-should see him an honorable celibate of great respectability. There is not the slightest doubt but that Dobbs was very earnest in his resolves but like a great many others he was not specially struck with the magnitude of them. Be it to his praise, however, that he kept them for a number of days, and stayed. entirely away from the widgosv Spriggins. A short time subsequent to his avowal of nevermore mingling with the fair sex, he resolved to gohunt ing ; and for tha~t purpose, strapped on his game bag, shouldered his gun and sallied forth. The morning was unusually pleas ant, and Dobbs being in an envia ble frame of. mind whistled away as he strolled along. Dobbs was not, in the common acceptance of the word, a skilled sportsman, hence it was some min utes before he sighted game. He had no sooner -"sighted" than he earefully approached the place, paced the gun to his shoulder, took deliberate aim, and pulled the trig ger. The lock flew down, but there was no report. What was the mat ter'? He scrutinized the gun. There were no cap on the tube. Adjusting one he again raised the gun to his shoulder, took aim blazed away. Other than the sharp noise of the cap there was no report. Dobbs was puzzled, he took out the ramrod and thrust it into the bar rel. It went in the whole length. "Well, Ideclare," muttered Dobbs, glancing around to see if any one A. ha en looking, "T believe the He was never more correct. Bi in a moment the gun was charg< and fired. It went off with a lot report, and the bird fell to tl ground. Dobbs with anxious eyes rivet( on the spot, sprang forward, but I .had not proceeded a rod before I went headlong down an emban] ment. He did not stop to contempla1 his situation, but rose wrathful, an commenced looking for his ha the while interspersing his ondea, o& with a few words not given i Webster. He would have gotten over hi little difficulty and consequent mo: tification had it not been that a lov silvery, girlish laugh struck uncon fortably on his ear at that momeni He stared around in amazemen1 b,t nothing meeting his gaze h ,ame to the conclusion that th so,id was the hypochondria of hi iinUgination. 'He . did not succee .in getting :the game, but he the: *ad there resolved not to retur: home until he had gotten at least inodicum part of what he'd original Iy Bfgnred- on; so taLing his gar he passed a few rods to the left an< commenced scrutinizing the adje cent trees. Presently he describei a squirrel. Raising his gun to hi shoulder, he took deliberate aim and was on the point of firing whe a loud female shriek, and the wordi 41n't.shoot me, Dobsy !" gEmetei iThegun dropped suddeniy to'th ground-Dobbs peered curiousl ibout,..but. ailed to discover an: humaa bei~g. Convinced- agai that it was merely his imaginatior he brought the gun to his shouldei ok d"i4eat-e:ini and fired. "Murder! Murder !" shrieked voice closely resembling the widoi Spriggins. "Good gracious! What have done?" and the horrified Dobb sprang forward. "Oh, dear-oh oh," and in a moment Dobbs wa .bending over the form of a femal, prostrate on the earth with blooi upon upon her face. "Great"Ieavens ! It's the wia6i Spriggins I'' and the astonished Dobbs was down on hiskeespaj ing to.Heaven to spare bei- life. "Oh, dear, rm killed; I know.] am," and with a low gasp the wido, Spriggind fell back in a dead faint Dobbs was in a dilemma. Wha should he do? Which would bi better-to procure assistance or as say to carry her home in his arms No, this latter would never do; an he thonght of his resolve to be bchelor, while he stared confusedi around. While he was devising some pla of action, .the eyes of the widos slowly unclosed, and "Dobsy, wher am I ?" struck on his ear. Dobbs wanted to tell her tha she was eahailyreposing in his arms but he thought of his vows, an said: "Lucretia, you are in. Summe2 ville forest." "Oh dear, how strange; and hos came you here ?" "I came here to shoot the beas of the air and the birds of the fiel< -I-ah-that is-you know you! self," and Dobbs paused in grea~ confusion. "Yes; go on. "Dobbs did go on and said: "Fairest Lucretia, I-I think w had better return horne." -- "N1o,'' faintly replied the siren,f am quite comfortable," and she cai a melting glance upon the perple: ed Dobbs. Dobbs:began pondering over t situation. 'hat would the goo folks of Sammerville think if. the ~knew he was out in'the woods wit a widow. He ~felt uneasy. -They was pathos in his voice, when b~ asked- - . "Lucretia~ can I assist you 't arise ?" "No,' came from the virgin lip "Hang it !" was the mental excl; mation of Dobbs. "What an aj gravating difficulty Tmgetting int Just think of it ; here I1 have mad vows not to be seen in the pre ence of a woman, and here I a. down in the dirt, holding the hea of a blasted-oh, it's too horrible i think of. If I ever get out this fi Tl away to some unknown clin where widows are not fashionable He paused for breath, and Mr Spriggins piped out "Dobsy, where am I hurt ?" "Gracious, I had not thought that," and he turned his eye upC the perfectly sound countenance the fair being at his side. "Nowhere," he rejoined, after hasty inspection; "But there is blo< on your face." "Then I have been shot." Dobbs looked closer. It did n really look like blood. What w; it then ? ~That it was not blo< wa a settled fact in his mind. li na s.arcelv formed this ir it pression when widow Sprigins ,d turned her mellow, blue eyes art d lessly up to his and said in the i te faintest possible voice- I "I have heard, dear Dobsy, that d you have uttered a solemn vow that I te you will never get married, but will I te remain a respectable celibate." f c- If a gun had gone off in the im i mediate rear of Dobbs, he could ;e not have been more astonished. He d stared blankly around. What an swer must he make.? He was N afraid if he informed her that such t 0 was the case,. she would leave him, - which he would not have happen t s for worlds. For the fact of it was, e Dobbs was extremely happy in the e r, kpresence of the fair widow, though v - -an.avowed celibate. . He made no answer to the ques- s tion adrressed to him, but went on y e a long retrospective jonrney back g e through the misty years fled-and I t s before he was cognizant of it he was E 1 in some such frame of mind regard. ii 1 ing matrimony and the widow, as I is the would-be temperance inebri d I ate just before raising the fatal t -glass to his lips. t Dobbs began to be strangely im- e pressed with the belief that if he e did not succeed in getting out of a I the presence of the widow in a short e s period of time that his celibate c vows would not stand much of a d 1 chance. But after repeated at- a , tempts to free himself from the t i1web thrown around him, he gave it 0 up and settled down to business, c a and before he was spicially struck o y with what he was doing, he had 1 y proposed! c I The widow aggravatingly remark- a , ed that it would- notkdo, since he A , was ar avowed bachelor. b "Blast the vows," was Dobbs et- u clamation, and in desperation he A v demanded "Will you have me ?" [ "Certainly;. but I do so hate to 8 a. see a man break his honest vows." g - The "breaking of his honest vows" 1 3 feiledI to affect the happy Dobbs. a He was too -overjoyed. to heed such t I a thing. i He looked at her, she. smile. He' 4 e asked her to set the day. She ob I jected and he 'set it, and dear read -er, without troubling yon with, further dry details-they were mar ried! t SDobbs -afterwards found outthat "his Mrs. D." had purposely 'gone t to the woods withthe itentiaon of ~ scaring him, and had furthermore - daubed her face with elderberry P juice-which gave him the idea that 8 I she was wounded. . .Bms. [Danbury News. ~ t AN ALABAMA HOME HOUSE. e b After a quick ride of three or i, four miles through the prairie, says a a correspondent of the New York c Times, we reached a small collec- i, tion of log cabins which surround- E ed an imposing. bat dilapidated- j, ~looking structure .enclosed with a y fence which had fallen down in a t many places. The garden in front b of the houses was overgrown with weeds, through which a rare flower occasionally forced its way. Clus- 11 tering rose vines clung to the e moldering- pillars whieli supported a the broad balcony of 'the house; y~ pointers and deer hounds ran un- c molested through boxwood hedges a ~hat must once have been kept with ~ scrupulous neatness, .anid fanny a looking little black boys and girls a tramped at will through the orange j e groves which flanked the dwelling. e This, Dr. Armstead .informed me, e had once been the "home house" of I one of the richest planters. of the j South. Since -he war the seasonst had been bad, the crops hadt failed, and the house was occa pied by an overseer who had charge of the estate. This I afterward dis covered consisted of no less thani eleven thousand acres of rich land,i which, on account of the change of labor and other causes, was now< for the most part lying waste and euncultivated. Entering the house a novel scene presented itself. We< were met at the door by Mr. Car- I d ter, the overseer, who had been I expecting us, and were at once con ducted through a large hallway into a wainscoted apartments in which three bedsteads wvere standing. s They were great, massive p'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, I which, though old and worm eaten, gave evidence of beauty and artis a tie taste. The fine feather beds] dwere covered with a promiscuous assortment of torn army blankets and worn linen sheets. On thei )t wall one or two rare and costly s steel engravings were hung.

He of the boots and trou era proved to be a brilliant con ersationalist, who :j choice Ian -aage spoke sensibl r of the condi ion of his own and other Southern 'tates. Dr. Armstead himself, hav ag all the appearanee of a careless loathern farmer, was not long in tisplaying a depth of learning an bought which is seldom found in be so-called "best-circles" of North rn cities.

Many young men have fathers hat are well off and they have no mbition,and no particular prospect. hey scorn a trade. A man that is ao well-born for a trade is very wel orn for a gallows ! Thousands of arents, who, by industry, have ained a position which enables be to destroy their children, take e surest means of accomplishing ieir destruction by encouraging hem in . idleness, and allowing hem as they grow up to feel that 5is disgraceful to work at-whatev* r manual labor best suits his tal. nts, no matter whether his father 3 a minister, or a lawyer, or if sen tor, or the President of the United tates. Many young men are look ag forward upon life with the gen ral idea that they are going to en >y themselves- They are provided rith all needful physical comforts, d they mean to be happy. They .ave no trade. They slight their rofession. Their whole governing irinciple in life is to shirk anything he work ; and they expect to havE njoyment without industry.

The following extract from a re cent address by Proi. Wickson, of Uicisno?orh "With the advan& 6f farming as a science will come a better opinion of the farmer's position among men. Every year intelligence and true success are winning wider recogni tion in social circles. Among old opinions which must vanish is the popular view that a farmeris outside the line of social and political ad vancement. This opinion, although it has been widely held, has always been a fallacy, a mistake of narrow minds. The young men are blind ed by it. They have left farms be. canse this cross-eyed view of life has been forced upon them by fool ish people. They have been p:.r. saded that desertion of the farm was an entrance to glory. How great an error this has been. All history gives the lie to such belief. A. man upon a farm is not 'out of the world,' as some would think. How far an occasion can reach to grasp its hero, I do not know. Bat I believe that when:the saving of his country :demanded the strong m:m of Cincinnatus, he was just as near, when behind his plow, as thoaugh a graduated farmer, he had been sporting pyrpled, robes in the forum. And I believe that when the old Continepto.rofa Neva;England called their leader, Putnain. heard their called just as; Aistinctly upon his farm as though he had:been, serying for .tenty:rs behind a counterin Hartford. -do not belix e ai man is 'buried apoi-a farm.' it seems to me all!hiptory teaches us that the promptings to .day -and the call to greatness are no louder in erowde horoughfares than in po:.r.tbpos,fringed with: daises.

And in thiiking of Ithe. duty of the young..mA*. is 0it nofinteour agi.Jhalnee.o esden dustry where he.finds! it, - and that he himself, as he fits himself for a better farmer, becomes also a better man ? This the labor ; this the re ward. The better - the man the more noble his calling The young men can make .agriculture what theywill; it offers f1011 returns for their best efforts. The country neede better men,~ and the best men will be honored in its service. The best man in the end will win, and he will reach! the reward for his excellence-it matters not whe ther departing, he puts up the bars behind him, or whether -he come fromi marble doorstep. The youth may become aman upon a farm if he will. .He cannot do more else where." A Gmmisrr PUN.-Some years ago, when cannibalism was in vogue among the South Sea Islanders, an English man-of-war put into one of1 the Fiji group. Among the par y who went ashore was an assistant surgeon named Ben Jonson-a fat nd perversed person, who was al was quarreling with a midshipman amed Manners. There were two boats ; and as the surgeon who had wandered off from the party when they landed, had not rejoined them when they were ready to return to the ship, they put off without him, but left one of the boats so that he might follow. The captain was annoyed and a little alarmed at their reappearanlce without Jonson, and instanitly dispatched a boat's rew, under Manners, in search of the missing officer. They found his body in the midst of a number] of savages who were just preparing to devour him, but who fled at the sight of the sailors. The poor feilow was not half cooked. A grave was soon made for the underdone re mains of unfortunate Jonson, while Manners set up a board to mark the spot, upon which he managed to cut a single sentence with his penknife unobserved. The captain was shocked on hearing of the dreadful occurrence, and determined to go ashore and take a last look at the resting-place of the ill-starred officer, but when he got -a gIimpse of the epitaph or inscription on the board he was constrained to turn away to hide his face from all pres ent ; for there in. large letters and deeply cut, stood the sentence, " rare Ben Jonison!"

You asked me what you had better do; I will answer. The great secret of good health is good habits, the next is regulari ty of habits. They are briefly sum med up in the following rules: 1.- Sleep-Gives yourself the ve essary amount o f -leep" Some mnen require five honrs of the twen ty-four; others need eight. Avoid feather beds. Sleep in a garment not worn in the day. Sleep with a person stronger or healthier than yourself, or no one, and have plen ty of fresh air in your room. 2. Dress-Dress warmly, with woolen undershirts and drawers, Remove muffler, overcoat,overshoes, etc., when remaining any consider able length of time in a warm room. KeeP your feet warm and dry. Wash them in warm watdr two or three times a week.. Wear . warm stockings, large boots. and over shoes wheu in snow or wet. Wear a light covering on the.head keep ing it always cool. 3. Clealines&s--.HaVeA a1 a pint pr qart'of water in th slesp ing room. In, the Aigning after wiping hands and fee, then' wet with:the hands every part of the body. Coldwatei will iotbedisa greeable when apying it with tlie bare g hands. Wipe imuiediately; follbw by brisk rubbing. over the body the whole operatiom need not. take o-ver five initesm The result of this wasiis, &sheod..i brought to the.surface of the skin, and made to circulate een ly through the bo. Yof have.open ed the pores of, the skin allowing impurides of., the body-. to..pass of and have given yourself in , the opeation a good vigorous momi'g exercise. Pursue this habit with regularity, and you will seldom take cold. I4. Inflation of the lungs-Five minutes spent in the open air, after dressing, inflating the lungs by inha ling as full a breath as possible and pounding the breast:during the in flation will greatly enlarge the chest, strengthen 'the lung-power, and very effectually ward off consump tion. 5. Diet-If inclined to be4dyspep: tic, avoid mince-pie, sausage and other highly seasoned food. Beware of eating too freely of soups ; better to eat dry food enough to employ the neutral saliva of the mouth in moistening it. If inclined to over eat, part:ake freely of rice, cracked wheat and other articles that are easily digested. Eat freely of ripe fruit, and avoid excessive use of meat. Eat at reg ular hours and lightly near the hour of going to bed. Eat slowly. Thoroughly masticate the food. Do not wash it dbown- with continual drink while eating. Tell your fun niest stories while at the table, and fr.c an hour afterwards. Do not engage in severe mental labor direct. ly after heartily eating. 6'. Exercise, not too vident but sufficient to produce a gentle pei'spi ration, should be had each day in the. open air. 7. Condition of mind-The con dition of mind has mueci to do with health. Be hopeful and joyous. To be so avoid business entangle ments that may cause perplexity and anxiety. Keep out of debt. Live 'within your income. Attend church. Walk, ride, mix with jovial compa ny. Do as "nearly right as you kniow how. Thus conscience will be at ease. If occasionally disap pointed, remember that there is no rose without a thorn, and that the -darkest clouds have a silver lining ; that sunshine follows storm, and beautiful spring follows dreary win ter. Do your duty and leave the rest to God who doeth all things well. lA ScENE NoT ON 'TH EB.Ls. l There was a ltttle scene at the Wind sor Hotel table d'hote the other even -ing.
