An 1 tho field of battle was gained at last,. -Mrs. Darcy sat in her little low chair bet?re the fire, trying to quiet the screams of au eight months old baby scion of the house of Darcy, while another?a boy of five years?lay on his back,, prone on the floor, kicking and crying in an ungovernable fit of childish passion. .Vflfatt Dar?ey I" enunciated Luke, wMh a slow end ominous precision, "may I inquire what all this means 7 Are you aware that it is fifteen minutes past nine o'clock ?

"Now, sir, you can cry it out at your leisure. Evelyn, nurse is waiting for the baby. We'll go dowu and breakfast." "But, Luke," hesitated Mrs. Darcy, "you won't leave Freddy there." "Wou't; I'd like to know why not? It's temper, and nothing else, that is at tho bottom of all of these demonstra tions, and I'll conquer that temper or I'll know the reason why. It ought to have boon checked long ugo, but you arc so ridiculously indulgent. There is noth ing I have sr 'tie tolerance for as a bad temper?notiu.ig that ought to bo so promptly and severely dealt with." "But if he'll say c's sorry Luke ?" Mr. Darcy rapped sharply at the pan els, of the door: ^ "Arc you B?rry for your naughtiness, young man ?" A fresh outburst of screams and a re newal of the tattoo was the a us wer. "I am sure ho is sorry, Luke," pleaded the all-ex ten uating mother, but Mr. Daroy. shook his head. "Entire submission is the only thing I will listen to," he said shortly. "I tell vou, Evelyn, I am determined to uproot this temper." "Evelyn, with a dewy moisture shadow - ing'bor eyelashes, and a dull ache at her heart, followed her licgo lord down to tho breakfast table, with as little appetite for tho coffee, toast and eggs as might be. A tall, blue-eyed young lady, with a profusion of bright chesuut hair, and cheeks like rose velvet, was already at the table when they descendod, by name of Clara Pruyn, by lineage Mrs. Darcy's sister. She opened her eyes rather wide us the two eutorcd. "Good gracious, Evy, what's tho mat ter?" "Nothing," answered Luke, tartly. Mrs. Darcy, you appear to forget that I have eaten no break fest." "Something is the matter, though," said Clara shrewdly. "What is it Eve lyn?

Mr. Daroy gave his egg, shell and all, a vindictive, throw upon tho grate. Evelyn's brown eyes sparkled dangerous ly as she observed the manoeuvre, but she made no remark. "And the plates are as cold as stouc, when I've implored you again and again, that they might be warmed. Well, I shall eat no breakfast this morning." "Whom will you punish most V de manded Miss Clara. "Evelyn, give me t another cup of coffee ; it is perfectly de lightful." Luke pushed his chair back with a vengeance, aud took up his sti. 1 with his back to the fire, both hands under hia coat tails. "Please sir," said the servant, advan cing, "tho gas bill--tho man says would you settle it while?" "No!" roared Luke tempestuously, "Tell the man to go about his business ; I'll have no small bills this morniug, and I won't be so persecuted !" Mary retreated precipitately. Clara raised her long brown eyelashes. "Do you kuow Luke," she said de murely, "I think you would feel a great deal better if you we'd do just as Fred dy does?lie dowu flat on tho floor and kick your heels agaiust the carpet for a while. It's an excellent escape valve when your choler gots tho better of you." Luke gave his mischievous sister-iu law a glance that certainly ought to liavo annihilated her, and walked out ot the room, closing the door behind him with i B.-rng that would bear no interpretation.

'?You have spoken nothing but the truth," said Evelyn, quietly, with her coral lips compressed, and a scarlet spot burning on either check. Clara, I some times wonder how 1 can endure the daily cross of my husband's bad temper." "Temper !" said Clara, with a toss of her chosnut brown hair. "And the poor dear fellow hasn't the lea?t idea how dis agreeable be makes himself." "Only this morning," said Evelyn, 'die punished Freddy with unrelenting severity for a fit of ill humor which he himself has duplicated within the last half hour. I am not a moralist, but it strikes me that the fault is rather more to be censured in a full-grown reasoninjr man than in a child." "Evely n," said Clara gravely, "do you suppose be is beyond the power of cure?" "I hope not ; but what cau 1 do'/ Shut him up as he shut up little Fred dy ?" Evcly u's merry, irresistible laugh was checked by the arch, peculiar expessiou in Clara's blue eyes. "The remedy needs to be something Sh?rt and sharp," said Clara, "add this dark cioaot system cei'hi;;!;' r-ombipes I both requisites. Tears and hysterics were played out long ago in matrimonial skirmishes, you kuow, Evy." "Nonsense !" laughed Mrs. Darcy, risiug from the breakfast table, in answer to her husband's peremptory summons from above stairs, while Clara shrugged her shoulders ami went to look for her work-basket. Luke was standing in front of his bu reau drawer, flinging shirts, collars, cra vats and stockings recklessly upon the bed-room floor. "I'd like to know where my silk hand kerchief's are, Mrs. Darcy ?" he fumed. "Such a state as my bureau is in is enough to drive a man crazy I" 'Tt's enough to drive a woman crazy, I think I" said Evelyn, hopelessly, stoop ing down to pick up a few of the scat tered articles. "You were at the bureau last, Luke. It is your old fault I" "My fuult?of eouiso it's my fault!" si).tried Luke, giving Mrs. Darcy's poodle a kick that sent him bowling to his mistress. "Aoyth ng but a woman's retorting, recriminating tongue. Mrs. Darcy, I won't endure it any louger!" "Neither will I !" said Evelyn, reso lutely advancing, as her husband plunged Usio the it aft*;, his b-jsiuesc coat,! aud promptly shutting aud loekiug the door, "i turnte ,1've elufarcd it long enough?and hcrOj is an cuu ot it ! , "JNJrp.

If the system succeeds with Freddy, it certainly ought to with you; lam sure your temper is much more intolerable than his." There was a dead silonco of full sixty seconds iu the elost, thou a sudden burst of vocal wrath. "Mrs. Daroy, opeu the deor this in stant, madam ?" But Evelyn went on humming a saucy littly opera air, aud arranging her clothes. "Do you hear me ?" "Yes?I hear you." "Will you obey me V "Not until you have solemnly prom ised mc to put some sort of control on that temper of ye. *S; nM until you pledge yourself to treat your wife as a lady should be troated; uot a menial." "I wou't!" "No?* Then iu that case I hope you don't find the atmosphere at all oppres sive there, as I thiuk it probable you will remain there sor e time I" Another Bixty seconds of dead silence, thcu a sudden rain of luels and bauds against the relentless wooden panels. "Let me out, I say, Mrs. Darcy! mad am, how darb you perpetrate this mou strous piece of audacity'(" ?My dear luko, how t>trongly you do remind me of Freddy. You see there ie* *t!'lJV'"" 1 have >iOk^itiw-tf "? ** a bad temper. It ought to have been cheeked long ago, only you know I'm so ridiculously indulgent." Mr. Darcy winced a little at the famil iar sound of his own words. Tap-tap-tap came softly at the door. Mrs. Darcy composedly opened it, and saw her husband's little office boy "I'lease, mem, there's some gentlemen at the office in a great hurry to sec Mr. Darcy. It's about the Applegato will case." Mrs. Darcy hesitated an instant ; there wu8 a triumphant rustic iu the closet, and her determination was taken at ooeo. "Tell the gentlemen that your master has a bad headache, aud wou't be dowu town this morning." Luke gnashed his teeth audibly as soon as the closing of the door admonish ed him that he might do so with safety '?Mrs. Daroy, do you presume to inter fete with the transaction of business that is vitally important, ma'am, vitally im portant !" Mrs. Darcy nonchalantly took up the little oporo air w here .>be had left it, let ting the soil Italian words musically oil her tongue. ??Evelyn, dear !" "What is it, Luke '." she a?kcd mild ly. "Please let :nc out. My dear, this may be a j iku to yon, but?^ "I assure you, Luke, it's nothing of the kind. It is tho soberest of serious matters to me. It is a question whothi r my future life shall be miserable or hap py There was a third interval of silence. "Evelyn," said Luke, presently, in a suddued voice, "will you open the door'/' "On one condition only." "And what is that !" "Ah, ha !" thought the little lieuten ant-general, "he's beginning to entertain conditions of capitulation, is ho? On condition," she added aloud, "that you will break yourself of the habit of speak ing crossly aud sharly to me, and on all occasions keep your temper." "My temper, indeed !" sputtered Luke "Just your temper," returned his wile, serenely. "Will you promise ?" "Never, madam !" Mrs. Darcy quietly took up a pair of hose that required meuding, nnd pre pared to leave the aparttueut. As the door creaked on its hinges, however, a voice came shdly through tho opposite key-hole. "Mrs. Darcy, Evelyn! wife! wife!" "Yes." "You arc not going down stairs to leave mc in this plate? "I am " "Well, look here*-I promise." "All and everything that I require ?" "Ves, al! and everything th>it you re quire?confound It til 1" Wisely deaf to tie' muttered sequel, Mra. Darcy oponed'J&io door, and Luke stalked sullenly out^looking right over the top of her shinhlg brown hair. Suddenly- a little Retaining hand was laid on his coat slccj'c. "Luke, dear?" "Well ?" "Won't you give iho a kiss ? Aud Mrs. Darcy Jurst out crying on her husband's shout 'er. "Well!" ejaoukU 4 the puzzled Luke, "if you aren't the g; latest enigma going. A kiss ?

Speak gently; 'tis better. Don't make the burden of tinothei heavier when it is in your power to lighten the same. Keep in good humor; anger is a waste of vitality. No man and no boy does bis best except when cheerful. A light heart makes nimble hands, and keeps the body healthy and free. Don't let others say that you arc scl lish. and care only for yourself.

He was boru aud raised in the*country. His father guve him u good education, and allows hiiu plonty of money. But John,- with all other attachments, never could accustom himself to tho society of females, not because he did uot like the girls, but because his shy nature would uot permit him to associate with the fair sex. It once happened?not very long ago either?that John's father had some very important busiucss to transact in the city'. He also hud some very par ticular affairs to attend to at home, which demanded his personal attention, and not possessing the power of ubiquity, he delegated his son John to transact that iu the city. Jehu being thus commissioned, im mediately proceeded to the city, aud to the residence of his father's old friend, whom he found to be a very nice old gentleman, with a beautiful daughter, and gold spectacles. John was ushered into the parlor (a new thing for him), and motioned to a scat?no! a sufa, (another new thing.) But vre must use his own lauguagc : I took my. .scat, and ^lade' observations. Everything was tin*": Vine carpets, line sofas, fine tables/fin? curtains, tine books, tine everything, and especially a tine young lady, who was dressed in fine silk, fine satin, and who had tine curls, aud a fine appearance generally.

The idea of keeping a city belle engaged in convcrsa .^,'1 fiiv i w^^^^^sj p^ri^yi^ij^^lgjjc^ reigned in the parlor for a snort time, you may bet. I amused myself as much as possible with the boy?that is, 1 loaned him my knileand watch-key, and watched him cut holes iu the carpet with one and spoil the other. I d"U't know what 1 would have done had it not been for that boy?he was so good to attract one's attention, you know.

Among other quotations, I unfortunately repeated the well-knowu line of IShukspcarc j "There i- n divinity that shapo3 our ends, I Rough lii'W thvui as wc will."
