The world's temptations scorn; Let others wealth revere; Be strong in right, detest the wrong, And persevere! Then, when life's twilight fades, The thought will give thee cheer That thou in trials passed. Didst persevere! -New York Evening Post, TREE uNTO BETlH. --o BY ALFRED JEFFERSON. -0 The bright rays of a bright June day's sun were fast disap pearing in the distant west, and shed a mellow reflection through out the quiet and unromantic vil lage of Norwalk. The little birds had ceased their sweet carols and sought the comfort of their nests, and all assumed the stillness of an evening. Slowly wending his way home ward along the village road, 'could be seen a young man ; a broad brimmed straw bat hid from view his countenance, and his eves were pensively fixed on the ground before him, as if in medi tation. 'Oh, here comes Walter !' ex claimed a bright-eyed little girl, who had been anxiously watch ing at the gate for his coming; and away she ran to greet him. Impressing a kiss upon her rosy cheek he raised her in his arms and carried her into the house, and placed her in her litle chair beside him at the supper table. 'Walter,' said an old man, who had just returned from the gar den, with an armful of vegetibles for the evening meal, 'who was that I saw you walking home with this evening, and wvhom ycu bade such an affectionate adieu?' The questioner was Richard Sanford, an erratic old man and father of Walter, who eked out a scanty livelihood by cultivating vegetables, and *supplying the wants of the surrounding neigh bors, his mean ways and harsh temper had caused the young peo ple of thbe village to ~ look upon him with scorn, and rumor binted that he had caused the death of his first wife through his un governable temper. 'A friend of mine,' answered Walter, with some hesitation. 'It's a lie, sir,''answ ered the old man, in a rage. 'It was that daughter of old Mrs. Thompson's whom 1I have so often forbidden you to associate with. Now, see here, sir ! There's but one alternative for you to ac cept, and that is to discard her society, or leave the shelter of my roof.' Walter did not reply, for he knew it was useless, and for fear of inciting him to violence he arose from his seat at the supp er table, arnd without a word he put on his bat and went out into the open air. The Thompson's were poor, but onest neighbors; old Mrs. Thomup son had been widowod by the death of her husband in the war of the rebellion ; a small pension derived from the government, and the scanty earnings of her daugh ter whbo was employed in a silk mil in a neighboring town, suf ficed to keep soul and body to gether. Belle was her only daughter, a bright, industrious girl of nine. teen summers, modest and retiring in her ways; her beauty was such that even in the humble garments that she wore, the envy of the village belles was perceptible. It was for her that Walter first fet the impulses of a passionate love, and in her he saw the ob ject of his future happiness ; at evening's hour they could be ob served walking arm in arm leis urely homeward from their daily toil. After Walter had left the house, he wandered, with sorrowful thoughts,.to the residence of Miss Thompson. Greeting him at the door with her accustomed wel come, she bade him enter, aed they were soon seated together in a, neat apartment. 'What ails you, Walter? You seem downcast,' inquiringly she asked. 'Belle, dear,' he said, at the same time taking her hand in his and passionately pressing it to his bosom, 'I cannot endure it longer; when I returned home this even ing, father upbraided me for be ing in your company, and finally gave me the choice between you and the shelter of his roof.' 'Walter,' she said, after a short silence, 'if your father does not consider me worthy of you, and de sires you to discard my society, I trust as a dutiful son you wrill obey him, for-' 'No, Belle, dear!' suddenly in terrupted Walter, pressing more. closely her little hand, 'to be banished from you and those star light eyes would be death to me. No, come what may, I will never forsake you even death cannot part us! I have concluded to leave my father's roof, and to norrow muorning I leave this, my native village, and you for a time.' 'But I cannot endure your ab sence,' she said, as she laid her head upon his bosom and sobbed as though her heart would break. 'Endure it bravely, Bella, dear est,' he said ; 'it will be but a brief time, I trust.' Drawing from his pocket a plain gold ring, he placed it on her finger. 'With the know ledge of your love and fidelity, 1 can go forth and work with more vigor and earnestness to obtain a comfortable home for us.' She willingly promised to re. main true and to endeavor to keep up a courageous heart un til his re turn, and sealing the promise with a kiss, he took his leave and re traced his way homeward. The following morning dawned bright and clear, and, rising early, he sought his father and acquaint ed him with his conclusion ; the old man forbade him ever darken ing his door again, and remarked that when he left bis roof it was never to return. Bidding his mo ther and little sister (who stood by in tears) an aftectionate adieu, with a small valise in his hand, and a brave heart, he started on is unknown journey. For days and weeks he sought in vain in the neighboring State for employment until desperation almost seized him. It was one day while wander ing through the large manufactur ing town of Lynn that he was prompted to inquire for employ ment. and, entering the office of a large manufactory, he related his grievance to one of the members of the firm, and was told to apply for work the following Monday. The prospect of employment cheered his drooping spirits, and, on the following Monday he re turned, and was rewarded with a remunerative position. The glad news was hastily conveyed in a long letter to his betrothed far away, and in a few days a con gratulatory and che ing reply was received. * * * * * * 'Twas a cold, snowy night in the month ot January that a man was seen wending his way through the deep snow, in the village of norwalk; to the residence of Miss Thompson. Entering the house, he met her on the threshold, and hawnde. her a sele lter. Tear ing it asunder in a hasty manner, she read as follows: I regret to announce to you the sad news of the death of Mr. Walter Sanford, in my employ, who.died this morning from thc effects of injuries received by be coming entangled in the ma chinery at which he was working. I have telegraphed to his father, but he refuses to receive the re mains of his son and refers me to you. What disposition shall be made of them ? Yours truly, GEORGE R. BEST. The. sudden news completely overcame her, and, uttering a piercing shriek she fell senseless to the floor, grasping the unwel come letter in her hand. A doctor was hastily summoned, and with the aid of restoratives she was soon brought to con sciousness. 'I cannot believe that my Wal ter is dead!' she gasped, as she lay on the bed, pale as death. 'No, he will return to me again.' The doctor, perceiving that a fever was setting in, administered a drug that had the effect of send ing her to sleep. In the mean time her mother had sent word to send tho remains on to her imme diately. Walter's father, on receiving the sad tidings of his son's death, merely said that he had left his roof and he did not wish to see his face again, and that for his part they could consign him to a pauper's grave. But there was one to avert this and who still clung to him even in death, and that*was his betroth ed ; by her industry and frugality she had managed to save from her scanty earnings a sum suffi cient to defray the funeral ex penses of her lover. The following day. the remains arrived, and over the coffin the poor heart-broken girl bent to take a farewell view of her lover. The neighbors of the village, by whom Walter was greatly be loved, because of his exemplary habits and genial disposition,.camne in throngs to take a parting look; and some rendered the scene more cheerful by contributing flowers as tokens of their friendsbip. The hour for the burial arrived, and the coffin borne on the shoulders of four stalwart young men of the village, and a pro cession formed of the kind-hearted neighbo rS, slowly moved to the village cemetery, with the poor broken-hearted girl leaning on the arm of her' aged mother, as chief mourner. Arriving at the cemetery, the coffin was lowered into its final resting- place, and as the grave diggers cast the earth upon it a.nd covered it from view, the broken-hearted girzl begged pit eously to be allowed to rest be side him in his lonely tom b; and when the last shovelful of earth had been cast upon him, s.be threw herself upon the grave, and despite the entreaties of those present, she could not be per suaded to leave it. The chill shadows of evening began to lower, and darkness shed its solemn luster throughout the dismal place; but still she lin gered there until all had de parted, a poor, broken-hearted girl. The following morning, as the grave-diggers wen t their 'roun ds, they came across the poor girl, still clinging to her lover's grave, cold and still in deathi. Again the mourners of the pre vious day were called together to witness the burial of the poor, broken-hearted girl, whose love was true unto death.

New York Fashions. New Bonnets-Summer Costumes-Gloves A New Improvement. THE NEW BONNET. New bonnets are so similar in out line to those of the winter, that the desire for distinction which seems in herent in the human breast, must needs find scope in other directions. So, in consequence, there is often times the most lavish piling together of extreme colors that ever you saw, while manufacturers of flowers, al though sometimes content with giv ing them -to us in patterns copied af ter nature, have oftener prefered to go far beyoud her modest dictates and thus we see enormous red or yellow daisies, asters twice the size of those that, a garden ever produced, etc., etc. There is a strong partiality for wide open many petaled flowers and there fore any variety coming under such appellation is sought for. Foli age is at a discount and though not abandoned, is but sparingly inter mixed and for the most part in unpre tentious shades of green. Flowt.rs in oorisequence, are massed in rows or great bunches. with staring effect, but we have grown accustomed to these pronounced dispositions and scarcely look at them. Yet a toning down of extravagant results is oftentimes pro. duced by soft serge silk in one deli cate shade throughout or by the use .of solid colored ribbon. Other silks and ribbons however are extremely bright and in varied combinations as to color ; striped ribbons are quite fashionable and dots, both in self color and in gay contrasts and of all sizes, are much in vogue. COSTUMES. Combination suits are genuine com binations, for the two materials are united throughout, and this to the disadvantage of a skirt of one fabric and overdress of another. The latter idea indeed is almost wholly .excluded except in case of some elegant light material, but even here, the skirt should correspond in tone with what is worn above and there is almost al ways a unity apparent somwhere. Trimmed skirts and basques are ex tremely fasuionable and in this~ style we find the Delphine costume which embodies the latest ideas. Even wash dresses follow, and are shown ready made with inclined, tight fitting basque or half fitting jacket which can be belted in. In general, the trimming on the skirt is so arranged that it can be displaced for washing, but it is of course more convenient to have a separate~ overshirt and here we find the Mabrilia which is at once simple and graceful. The Gwendo line costume, suitable for silk or wool, is made with a long coat shaped bas que and trained shirt on which the drapery is very handsomely disposed and the Croisette basque would be quite becoming to a full figure as it is long and plain on the sides. For traveling, the Windsor redingote an swers the same purpose as an ulster, but it is of newer shape. Wash dresses are constantly relieved by ribbon bows and silk or wool costumes are also adorned in like manner. but to a lim ited extent only. Buttons are a fav orite addition to the last named varieties of outfits and are in such diversity that a description would be never ending. At times they orna mert costumes of plain wool instead of brocade and form a beautiful and glittering finish. Everywhere there is a rage for shirring, so muchl so that it can hardly be overdone or mis placed. But plaitings are likewise very popular. GLOVES, ETC. In kid gloves the Harris kid lace top is extremely elegant and especially adapted to summer wear, as an oppor tunity is given for a display of the beautifal finish at the top. Such fin ish is of kid finely cut to resemble lace and it is so skilfully done that the imitation is remarkable. It is either of utiiformu color with the glove, or of white kid contrasted with some' stylish shade and altogether is by far the moss attractive glove shown. The Harris seamless retains position as a perfect fitting and very durable glove. This style is without ornament at the top, long at the wrist and with deli cate self stitching on the back. prominent place must be given to Cash's woven initial letters which are fast superceding the old marking ink bottle stamping or any other such inconvenience. They are woveu of a useful size in old English type, in Turkey red color which is perfectly fast and being all woven on the same sized piece of cloth for the ground, can be sewn on- with a machine or by hand. They are made up in small boxes, each containing twelve dozen letters of a kind, or they can be bought in any quantity, as they are brought out in long strips that can be cut to suit purchasers. Many a lady allows her clothing oi household linen to remain untmarked, rather than go through the process of handling hot irons, run the risk of spilling ink, etc. By the new method, marking be comes a pleasant pastime, alost like some piece of easy fancy work. Hand some tuonograms are also seen. LUCY CARTER. THE DISCONTENTED HEN. Mrs. Speckle lived in a fine large coop, situated under the pleasant shade of an old apple-tree, and though she had as cunning a little brood of chickens as one would wish to see, yet she was not con tented. One fine June morning, as she was gazing longingly out at the green fields, the Misses Pullets came sauntering airily along, in all the pride of their new spring suits of buff and brown. "Ab, poor, dear Mrs. Speckle !" said they, "we are so sorry you can't come with us this beautiful morning. We are taking a stroll to the gardens. We have heard that there are green peas large enough to eat, and Tommy Cocka doodle says that Farmer Thrifty has a whole field of ripe strawber ries." "Ah !" sighed Mrs. Speckle, wip ing her nose upon the grass, "I should be delighted to go with you. I haven't had much appe tite lately, and a little garden sauce would do me good, I know ; it is so long since I have tasted any vegetables or fruit. But here I am, cooped up, you see, and can't leave home while my obickens are so young. For my part, I don't see how any one can like house keeping. I know that I never shall, to the longest day that I live." "Ah, poor dear ! We are very sorry for you." said the pullets. "Perhaps we can bring you a strawberry or a pea, but we must be going now. Good-bye," and off they tripped, daintly picking their way towards the garden. Their .call did not make Mrs. Speckle any happier, and after they were gone, she began walk ing up and down in a very ruffled state of mind and feathers. Being wholly occupied with her'self, she stepped without regard upon sev eral of the chickens, which made them cry out, "p e e p, peep, p-e-e-p !" "Dear me !" exclaimed their mo ther, crossly, giving Bobby a sharp peck on the head. "Did any one ever see such chickens, always 'around under one's feet." Do go out and scratch." Away they all scampered, and Bobby, wishing to soothe his wonded feelings with a bug, scratched away so briskly that he tummbled over on his back. Then they all laughed at him, and poor Bobby felt worse than ever. To be pecked on the head, and be laughed at beside, was more than he could bear; so he went away alone and stood under a rosebush, feeling himself a very ill-used chicken inded. Not long after the pullets had left Mrs. Speckle, Mrs. Drab, a very sedate old hen, came to call on her, with Miss Black. a very sprightly young fowl of Spanish descent,whbo had quite a mind of her own. "Good morning, S i s t e r Speckle," said Mrs. Drab. "Why, what is the matter? you look out of sorts t h is morning." Mr's. Speckla, who was usually quite1 vain of her good looks, smoothed. down her ruffled feathers a little, and answered in a querulous tone: "3fatter! I should think it was I enough to kill any hen to be shut f up here day after day, as I am, withf neve a chance to go out." 1 ADVERTISING RATES.

"La, now, my dear, don't you fret," said Mrs. Drab. "'The chick ens will soon be large enough for you to leave home, and take 'em abroad. You won't have much trouble with 'em after that. Why, just think of me; I've raised four broods without any fuss at all, and never lost but three out of the whole lot of 'em, either." "Well," said Miss Black, pertly, I think it is a burning shame for ,hen to be shut up in this man ner, without having any say in the matter, and entirely against her will. I don't see why we should be trodden upon just because we ire hens. I believe that hens should have their liberty as much is roosters, and I for one, declare igainst coops. They are an indig ity to which we should not submit. What do you think, Miss Top Knot?" Miss Top-Knot, who had beeti istening near by, drew up her left root, put her head on one side, and 5rying to look very wise, said that she should like to know why hens
