W. -0 "How on earth, Simpson," said [ the other day to a rural friend >f mine whom I was visiting 'how on earth did a backward, liffident fellow like you ever man ige to say, 'Will you?' to a witty, maucy, self-poised woman like your wife ?" I really was curious to know. 3impson was such a slow, sedate erson, and his wife was such a ittle firefly, that there always seemed to me something funnily ncongruous in their union. Simpson made his usual deli erate pause before answaring. Well, I reckon"-my friend is a Eoosier-"I reckon it was queer I ver asked her, and the way it appened was queerer still." We had carried our chairs out .nto the front yard, in order to smoke in greater comfort; and I ow tied mine back against a tree, knowing that the story that was brewing in my friend's mind would not be over in a hurry. I -ondense it for the benefit of those readers w7ho may not have as much leisure and patience as I had: "You see," he began, slowly clearing his throat and crossing his legs, "I was always rather soft-like about Susie, from the time I used to sit by her in school and work her sums. She hadn't a particle of head for figures, and I had, so we suited pretty well as long as school lasted ; and Susie, though she laughed at me more than any of the girls, liked me a ittle, too; for it isn't in human nature not to like the person that works your sums. I know, be. cause that was about all the way I had of making friends, when I was a boy, and I made a good many. But when our school days were over most of them forgot, but Susie never did. She was the prettiest and most popular grrl in the country, and had no end ol beaux, but she always had, God bless her!I as bright a smile foi slow Ben as any of them. I knevw I wasn't as brisk and lively as th< best of them, and when I saw that she didn't make any differ ence, it went right through an( through me, and I'd have die< fr her any minute ; but I couldn' tell her so.. Seemed like I wai slower and dumber with her that any body else. "For this reason I didn't ofter call on her or ask her company t< parties and the like ; but when : did she was always so kind an< pleasant-like that I was happa for a month afterwards. "Well, there was a party on night at 'Squire CJoon's; and, as i wasn't far, and Susie would onl~ have to be bored with me goin and coming, I asked her to g' with me, and she said 'Certainly and smiled as if it was the great est treat in tbe world. "As the 'Squire's was only hal a mile from Susie's bome, and ther was a nice, dry path througft th wooda, we walked. It was abou the m.iddle of October, and th path we took was heaped wit ry leaves that made a pleasan rustle under our feet. A water, moon and a slim turnout of star gave just light enough. to mah the tree trunks on either side< he path look like anything el but what they were. "The only remark I rememb( to have made on the wvay to t 'Squire's was that it was going I rain before morning, and that hopnd i would. T litik thnngl how much reason I had to hope. "I don't recollect much about the party, except that I sat most of the time in a particular corner, and watched Susie as much as I dared. "When the party had broken up, and we were starting home, I noticed that tho sky was thickly clouded and the night dark. The 'Squire, who was sitting on the front porch smoking a late pipe, called after us 'Better stay all night, Benjy, it's goin' to rain.' But we thought not. When we got into the woods, however, we began to find out that it was dark and no mistake. The farther we went, the deeper became the dark. ness. I know the path we had to follow, every crook and curve in it. Bu. the carpet of dead leaves bothered me. I had to stop two or three times, and grope about on either side, to make sure that I was in the right track ; and the last time I found I was not in it and, what was worse, couldn't find it. "I kept up the search as long as possible, dreading to tell Susie of the stupid blander I had com mitted. But the truth had to come out at last, and, as if to make matters really serious, it began to rain-a dull, pattering fall, that would probably last till daylight, and Susie exposed to it. She tried to make a joke of it at first ; but as the rain came more and more steadily, she became frightened and nervous. I found her the best shelter I could at the roots of a great tree, but the rain reached her even there. She had nothing round her but a light shawl-for the evening had been unusually warm for the season-and I knew she would soon be thoroughly chilled; so, being very tough my self, and used to all sorts of expos are, I just took off my coat and begged her to wrap it round her shoulders, but she would hoar to nothing of the sort, and bade me quite brusquely to put on my coat. .But the rain increased, and the night grew damper and colder. 1 resolved to take matters into my own * hands. Without saying a word I just wrapped the coat around her shoulders myself, and, for fear she wouldn't take it, I said, by way of apology, you see, 'I'd give my life for you any min ute, Susie, and it don't stand to reason I shouldn't give you my coat.' "She kept as mute as a mouse while I was fixing the coat ; but, when I was done, she took my hand iri both of hers, and, says she, 'Do, you think sO very much of me, Ben ?' and, says I, 'More than I can toll, or you can think, I reck on.' "And,' says she, 'Why did you never tell me so before ?' "'Well,' says .1, 'you know I'm rather slow of speech; and, be. sides, I reckoned you wouldn't care to hear the like from me.' "She didn't say nothing after that for a good long spell, till I began to be afraid she was offend ed ; then says she, 'You may sit down here beside me, if you like, Ben.' "I did so, and then, after anoth er good long spell says she, strok ing my hand with one of hers, 'ou're the best and kindest man in the world, Ben ; and I like you better thana any of them.' S"My shirt-sleeves were by this time wet enough to wring, and the chill gusts that every now and then swept down from the tree tops were enough to make a New. foundland dog shiver ; but I never felt warmer or more comfortable in my life than when Susie said that. I never felt my slowness of speech more in my life, though ii ,seemed as if I couldn't think of any word that meant enough. Sc 1 had to sit and listen to Susie without being able to say a word myself, but she didn't appear tc mind it a bit. "~Well thefirst thinglI knew it hdsopped raining, and the moor was peeping down through a drifl in the clouds. I found the patl in no time ; and Susie made me put on my coat again. ."When we got home to Susie's her father was just turning out t< look for us, and met us at the yar< "'Soaked but smiling,' says be. 'What on earth has bappened to make you look so pleasant, when you are both as wet as a couple of drowned kittens?' He had a lantern, you see, and flashed it r,ght in our faces. We didn't tell him anything then, but be found out about a month after when I came to ask for Susie." Just at this moment we were interrupted by a pretty, scolding voice from the house, exclaiming, "Why, Ben, you will catch your death of cold, sitting ou- there without your coat when the dew is falling." Simpson had been over an hour telling his story. Our pipes had gone out and the sun had gone , down, but there was still light enough to mark the placid expres sion of delight that came over his face ut the mere sound of his wife's voice; and I thought I saw plain er than ever before how it had happened that the lively little Susie had married my slow friend, and had done wisely in so doing. THE ORIGIN OF THE JUMP ING-JACK. Something like twenty years ago, a miserable brick house in a back alley was the bome of Arch ibald Ramsey, a Scotch carpenter. He worked down-town in a shop, making cornices, moldings, man tels, and a variety of the more elaborate parts employed in finish ing houses. Every evening he took home pocketfuls, and often hand fuls also, of bits and ends from the shop. These oddly shaped fragments of sft, oweet-smelling pine fur nished amusement for poor little Alec, Mr. Ramsey's hunchback boy; and when they had served this purpose, they were used as kindlings in the kitchen stove. There was a houseful of little Ramseys, of whom Alec 'w as the oldest, an d whben he was amused, so were the others, thus giving the overworked mother t.ime for other du ties. Alec was sixteen years old, and not taller than an average boy of ten. He was very much deformed, and had he lived in an age and country of kings seeking dwarfs and human oddities for "court fools" or "jesters," he would have been a prize to some iron-bande d tyrant. His shoulders were al most as high as bis head, his arms hung out loose and dangling, and the rest of his body was shrunken and slender to a most pitiable de gree. But whoever, with a tender heart, looked into bis great, ques tioning eyes and noted his broad, fair forehead and his clean, deli cate hands, would soon forget the sad shape in the nobility of the face. I need not linger to speak of his studies, which, all unaided, he pushed along with success; nor of his constancy in the Sunday school, where he was a universal favorite. It is about his play with the bits of pine from the shop I wish to tell you. Many a.droll pile he built on the kitchen floor ; many a funny thing he whittled out to amuse the little ones ; many a comical toy he made and gave away to neighboring children. Often he said, and of tener thought, "What can I whit te that will sell?" For only money seemed likely to bring him the changed, life for which he longed. Once , when he sold for a few pennies a queer little pine trinket, his father stroked his silken hair and said : "Ah, me puir bairnie, I dinna ken but ye may mak' your fortoon wi' your knife." How that little piece of encour agement rang in his ears and stim ulated him to think and whittle, whittle and think ! One genial afternoon in May, Alec crept out to enjoy the balmy air, and, by the noise of a crowd of urchins on a vacant lot at a lit tle distance, was drawn in that direction. Here he saw a colored boy, named Jack, attempting, for the amusement of t1he party, all jsorts of pranks in imitations of c..rns nerformers- Bareheaded and clothed in striped red and yel low garments of coarse quality, the negro 1 d almost seemed made of Jndia rubber. Alec watcbed his capers in amusement. Never before had lie seen such antics, or even thought them possible. It wds no wonder that the frail, stiff.jointed little hunchback dreamed it all over again, as he did that night. The next morning his whittling genius took shape from this event, and before noon he had produced a rude pine image of the negro head, arms and legs loosely hung with bits of broom-wire, and the whole curiously arranged, so that by working a string, it would jump, nod, turn somersaults, and go through quite a series of con. tortions. With colored pencils, of which he had some cheap speci mens, he blackened its head, neck, hands and feet, reddened its lips, whitened its eyes, and rudely striped in yellow and red the body, all in imitation of the little negro gymnast. Before it was completed his younger brother, who had been with hin the day before, named it "Jumping-Jack." Arid in the af ternoon, when he went to the va cant lot and exhibited it to the youngsters there, it was not only universally but boisterously hailed by the same name. When. he re turned home, he brought, instead of the Jumping-Jack, a silver half dollar, for which he had sold the toy to an eager, well-dressed lad of his own age. And not only this, but he had orders from the boys for half a dozen more ; to be made as soon as possible. Ob, what a proud, glad heart beat within that deformed little body of Alec's ! How his temples throbbed! How elastic his step! What flashing eyes! what a skein of wild and hopeful talk he un wound to his mother? So much money for his whittling, and a chance for more and more! Cas. ties, sky-high and star-brigh t! But I have not told you all. That evening he whittled, and the next day he whittled, and be fore night had added to his capi tal three more shining half-dollars The next day he doubled bih money. The demand for jump ing-jacks increased. Boys cam< to the door, silver in hand, to gel what he had no time to make. His grave Scotch parents.begar to hold serious counsel over the matter. If Alec could find suel: sale for these pine images in thal neighborhood, why, the whbole city would require thousands; and what would -sell elsewhere also If they could supply the market, e fortune might readily be made.. Scotch blood, on ce aroused and callenged, is sanguine and yen, turesome. But it would be uninteresting t< repeat all the detaIls ; so the res1 of my story shall be brief. Alec's Sunday school teacher who was a lawyer, procured foi him a patent on jumping.jacks o every description ; a rich old un cle of Alec's mother built him factory and started him in busi ness; and, within a year from thi afternoon when the poor !ad won dered at the pranks of the colore< boy, jumping-jacks from the Ram sey factory were selling in grea numbers all over America. Truly Alec did "mnak' a fortool wi' his knife." To school he went ; into a bette house, all their own, the famil~ moved ; easier circumstances, bet ter health, less weariness, an4 ample means for doing good, cam to the Ramseys. But the best point in my stor: is that a fine asylum and school fo hunchbacks, free to the poor,i one of the noble enterprises t which Alec has been chief contri butor.-l. L.

How Mackerel are Caught and Prepared for the Market-Mackerel Catchers and Their Wages. What the cod is-abroad, macker el is in the country for which it is fished-an universally popular dish. It is always in season ; salt ed or fresh, macherel occupies the place on the American breakfast table that con does in the tropics. The mackeral season begins in March and endures r.nt-il Novem ber, steadily increasing all the time. The first cargoes landed are invariably of poor quality, al though of good size; but as the season advances the fish improve. The quality suitable for packing comes in about the middle of July. The early mackerel are fished for as far South as Cape Henry, and from thirty to fifty miles off shore. From May to July they are found along the coast from Cape May to Gay Head. Thence they progress steadily northward until from August to November the Canadian fishery assumes its hugest proportions. Mackerel, like cod, are baited with a mixture of salted clams and small fish, ground fine. This bait is thrown overboard, and sinking to the depth at which the fish lie, lures them to snapping indiscrim inately at bait and bare books. So ravenously do the -fish bite, that a single fisherman often fills a barrel in less than half an hour. Each fisherman uses two lines at once. In 1873 the seine was first brought into use in the mackerel capture, and the line fishery, as a specialty, is now 'rapidly dying out. The seines are vast nets, 175 fathoms long and 24 fathoms deep in the middle, grad ually diminishing to half that size at the ends. The upper edge is floated by buoys. Along the lower edge a purse line is rove through iron rings, which also serve to sink the net. The seine is cast from a large barge, the ground having been previously baited as for line fishing. Two boats accompany the seine barge, and as the net is cast they carry the purse and cork lines to the right and left until the ex treme limit of the long ropes is reached. Then a slight sweep is made, and the lines gradually. drawn until the net is, in fishing parlance, "pursed up" with the fish inclosed in its meshes. The schooner now runs down to the scene of the cast, and the fish are dipped aboard. The process of seining in good weather is perfectly easy, but high winds and uneasy seas render it impracticable, and then the time is eked out with line fishing. Seining is often subject to failure, too; the fish frequently diving un der the net, or taking fright and backing out before they are en losed. From ?00 to 300 barrels of fish are as many as can be well b andled in a single cast, and the fishermen, therefore, rarely attack the largest shoals. Mackerel go in large shoals, but scatter sometimes over miles of ocean. in consequence et this the .mackerel schooners usually sail in fleets, baiting a large area, and prosecuting their labors with mil itary precision. TLong practice lends the various vessels of a fleet a unity of action as perfect as i: their movements were directed by a commodore. As all are o: about the same size and rigged alike, the effect of such a commer. cial navy can be imagined as a picturesque one. The preparation of mackerel for market, which takes place after every day's fishing, is in some re spects very similar to that of the cod. They are dressed by split ting them down the back, takina out the "gibs" or entrails, and let ting the blood soak out of their by immersion in clear salt watel for several hours. Then they are taken out, laid singly in barrels, and a handful of salt is sprinkled over each. After settling, some of the pickle is drained off, and the bar rel is filled and headed up. Two hundred and fifty-one thousand barrels of salted mack erel were inspected in the United ADVERTISING RATES.

States in 1875, and 32,000 cans of the fish preserved. The Canadian fisheries, for the same year, yield-. ,ed 151,460 barrels. From fifteen to twenty men constitute the crew of a mackerel schooner. Like those on tbe cod fishermen, they are employed on what is known as the "half-line lay." They receive no stated wa ges, but draw half the value of the en'.ire catch for themselves, out of which they pay the wages of ther cook, half the bait bill, and the same share of the packing. In -a good season they realize a profit of 40 per cent. The average earnings of a mackerel fisherman are $300 a season. Tne other half of the catch goes to the owners of the-schooner, who pay their share of the ex penses, and a percentage to the captain. A NEwORDER.-The other day, after a stz apping young man had sold a load of corn and potatoes on the market and had taken his team to a hotel barn to 'feed,' it became known to the men around 'the barn that he was very desirous of joining some secret- society- in town. When questioned, he ad., mitted that such was the case,' and the boys at once offered-.to initiate -him into a new order, called 'The Cavaliers of Coveo.' He was told that it wasi twice as secret as Free Masonry, much nicer than Odd Fellowship, an d the cost was only twno dollars.. In case he had the toothache he could draw five dollars per week fro m the relief fund, and he was enti- ' tied to receive ten dollars for ev ery headache, and twenty-five dollars for a soreithroat. The young man thought he had struck a big thing, and aft er eating a hearty dinner he was taken into a storeroom above the barn to be initiated. . The boys poured cold water down his back, put flour on his hair, swore him to kill his mother, if, commarided, and rushedifhim around for an hour' without a single complaint from his lips. When they had fin ished be inquired : 'Now I'm one of the Cavaliers of Coveo, am I?' 'You are,' they answered. 'Nothing more to learn, is there?' 'Nothing.' 'Well, then, I'm going to -Lick the whole crowd!l' continued th e candidate, and he went at it, and before he got through he Y'ad hiis two dollars iriitiation fee back, and three more to boot, and. haa knocked everybody down two,or three times apiece. He didn't seem greatly disturbed in mind as he left the barn. On the con trary, his hat was slanted over, he had a fresh five-cent cigar in his teeth, and he mildly said to one of the barn-boys: 'Say, boy, if you hear of1 any cavaliers, asking for a Coveo about my size, tell 'em I'll be in- on the full of the moon to take. the Royal Skyfugle degrees." MORAL BEAUTY.-What is the beauty of nature but a beauty clothed with mo:-al associations ? What is the highest beauty of literature, poetry, fiction, and the fine arts, but a moral beau ty which. genius has bodied forth for the admiration of the world ? And what are those qual itIes of the human character which are treasured up in the memor1 and heart of nations-the objects of universal rcverence and exulta tion, the themes of celebration, of eloquences, and- the festal of song, the enshrined of dolls of ho. man adiniration and love ? Are they not patriotism, philanthropy, disinterestedness, magnanimity, and martyrdom ? If a mnan wUi nl start with a
