Nut many years ape the pay world of Palis whs excited by a sliango ami romantic affair. Ell)Hi Lann unt. a young lady with a splend d fortune, and highly accomplished in mimJ and mann rs, ennoutircd to the world tli.it site would be stow her hand and fortune upou any gentleman who please d her, hut that he must he williug, in consideration of her wealth and other attiacti 'tis, to put tin with a fare of unparalleled uplines*. \ ccitain time each day was appointed to receive the suitors nr La rose, M.tdcui ti selle's beautiful residence in the vio'ni ty of Paris. Among the first who resp >ndcd to the singular announcement was ?ir Charles Dushingtcn, a young Englishman of noble family, who had squandered a princely fortune in the gaming In u-os of the dissipated capita) of P.auce. 11 ? eagerly seized upon the oppoi (unity to mend his broken fortunes, and to establish himself again ii^tlie w old of pleas ure. Dashingtou vro* possc'scd ol that beauty of form and ftfee which attract* the gazi of artist- and wins the 1 .\o of women. J lis self conceit l< d him to suppose thaCuo wooiao could re*ist him ; and Ttrrttr.ugTt^ ly Tfrvfrni y' nfc* scut himself before the lady of Limsc in order to win her hand, and. what lie valued more, her fortune. With this object in view he attired himself in a maguificient suit < f elnthcs. lined a carriage, and proceeded in dashing style in search of wealth and a wife. It was a delicious day mi June, and the gardens and grounds of Eimse piesented a scene of ravishing beauty to the eyes of Sir Charles Ihishingt n. woo looked upon himself as soon to be "monarch of all lie surveyed." A tier a drive of a quarter ol an lornr tluou-h winding roads, bordered with sweet and brilliant flower*, and through shady and cool groves, the superb villa nf l.ir.w burst upon Irs enraptured sight. A he drove up lie was met by a s rva..t in handsome livery, who conducted him through an elegant marble gallery into il.o ?nieioiis receiitioii room. . ... ! , Tito m itolilrns splendor of 11.apu'ju.'iit dazzled tl.o eyes of Sir ('limlos Jtashington. Tlio H n.r was romp wd of exquisite ui< S.U08, wr-ugbt into quaint and curious pat torus ; t lie wall, were Loan'ifully frescoed alter tin' man nor of Raphael; beforo the ciituson tinted windows hung purple silk eurtaiii", v.li cli trembled in the vibration of low Melancholy inu-ic, whose origin could not bo discovered ; table" of pearl and agate were placed in different parts of the room, some of tie in loaded with richly lionud books, and others having on theui gorgeous vases of flowers, whose odor pervaded the whole apartment. In one corner atood a massive cabinet containing curiosities, and surmounted with hu: Is of Celt brated authors, ani"hg whom the Knglishiuau was plca-cd to see Rhakoparc crowned with iminorttl b While lie was admit ing tin* splendid saloon : door gliiird su't'y hack, and J'uniiic was announced. Pa-hington rose and advanced to meet tlio person who entered, lie was prepared to see a face ugly, indeed, hut when his eye* fell npon the frightful features of the July he Bhrank back with an cxclatua tion of horror. Her lips w re withered an J bloodless; her eyes were suit* deep in their sockets ; her large and luisbapp n ncse was a revolting <d?j -ct : ? i .. 11 and her skin was as ury anu yciiow u-> an Egyptian mummy. Withoui appearing to notice I>.islf iiiglon;; embarrassment, Mini lie welootned liiin to L ro>e in a tew sweetly" i-p-ikcn words; and, to his surprise, she Spoke in Kngli-h, with a slight but ?harming accent; for among many ac-1 fomplishuients of this singular creature was a ].u feot knr.wledgu of tlio modern languages, h'ir Charles was fObiewli.it reassured by her kind we!eome and win ning voice; and lie succeeded in over" colli' , or at least concealing, tho (lis which the horrible ugliness of her faec lint occasioned. Altai a long pre" liminny ?oiivir.vilion lie ventuted to approaoh the .subject which had brought hi in to f/i rose. "Mademoiselle." he said, with a how. ' if I <1 i?l not know that the Harden ?d JM.-n was in \sii. I should think that I had found it today in your delicious let:cat. " ".Sir Charles ll.ishingluii is pleased to flatter my poor La rose.

Oh. how dream like iny life w uld be, passed in this lovely spot! With a congenial companion to share its sweets, this place would be a paradise on earth." "What do you moan by a congenial companion ?" Emilic asked. "One who poss?ssc* an appreciating love of nature ; one who tinds a greater delight in books than in balls ; one who prefers meditation and study to the Irivolties of modern society." "You say nothing ol beauty ; is not that a requisite?" demanded Krnilie, who saw the serpent lurking beneath bis flowery language. "(jive me the lasting beauties < f the ; uiind, and I care not for (lie fading j beauties of a pretty face," cried Lkisli- j ington.

In their contemplation we are happy, and there comes to our brains u steady strength. It is such a rest from labor to look upon thp fragrant flowers placed each morning on our desk?to hear our pot canary sing his roundelay of welcome?to behold evidences of thrift and neatness ajl about as these children of order and sys tein reward the senses. It is related of a man that he called his wife who was a hundred pounds heavier, than he, his little darling ?his petite pet. People smiled at him because they did not understand his actions. He had a warm, trusting, loving heart, a great, manly love all about the object of that love, and so she was his little pet?his darling. We ire like chameleons, and col or its wo fired mentally. If we love the beautiful we .ire happy. If we love the coarse, the vulvar, the object or influ enecs that give uo sweet return, life becomes a blank, the soul cracks and shrinks into a bundle of nailrods to lacerate the mental man and we are on the direct road to ruin. What a beautiful world this would be if all persons would only ornament their homes and their hearts by cultivating and keeping alive their love for pets, no matter what their form or condition. When we Kkalizk Ouuselves.? As the trials of life thicken and the dreams of other days fade, one by one in the deep vivta of disappointed hope, the heart grows weary of the straggles, nuii we begin to realize our insignificance. Those who have climbed to the pinnacle of himc, or revel in luxury and wealth, go to the grave at lust with the poor mcudicaut who begs pennies by the wayside, and like him, are toou forgot ton. Generations after generations, says an eloquent modern writer, have fell as wc feel, and their fellows were as active in life as ours are uow. They I'us.-hu atiiijf an tu|;uij nuiii; uatuiu uuit the same aspect of beauty as her creator commanded her to be. And so, likewise, shall it be when we are gouc. The heavens will be as bright over our graves as they are uuw around our path ; the world will have the same attraction for offsprings yet unborn, that she had once for ourselves, nnd that she has now for our children. Vet a little while, and all this will have happened. Days will continue to move 011, and laughter nn J song will be heard iu every chamber in which wo diod; and the' eye that mourned for us will be dried, 1 and will glisten with joy. and even ourj children will cease to think o( us, and will not rrmember to lisp our names.?

Chance has much to do in the affair; but then there are important governing circumstances.

Our conviction is that ninetynine hundredths of all the Query with which the W'uncu decorate or load their persons, go for nothing, as far as husband catching is concerned. Where and how, then, do men find their wives? In the quiet homes of their parents or guardians?at the fireside where the domestic graces and feelings arc long demonstrated. They are charms which most surely attract the high as well as| the humble. Against these all the finery and airs in the world sink into insignificance, .Mi ri'Ai. IIki.i*.?The raco of man* kind would perish, did they cease to aid each other, from the lime that the mother binds the child's head; till the moment that some kind assistant wipes the death damp from the brow of the dying, we cannot exist without mutual help.

POETRY. ', * A CONFESSIONCome and sit beside me, dearest, 1 have something 1 would say, , Ere the waiting angel bears me Heavenward, through the starry way; Hold my hand so weak and helpless, In your ftrjp and tender cla9p, liend your head down closer, darling, I would speak about the past. ^ > Of the days when first you brought me, A young bride to bless your home, Darling, it was then 1 wronged you, For my heart was not my own; Don't be angry with inc darling, For my life is ebbing fast, And in a few short hours, * Death's dark portal will be past. I have tried to do my duty ; If I failed in any part, If I caused one pang of sorrow To your noble loving heart, I am sorry for it, darling, For I love you dearly, now. Kiss my Imnd and say, forgiven, Ere the death dew chills my brow. Oh, my darling, how I love you! You have been so kind and true, In your grand, sweet strength forgiving All my faults, and weakness too; Through "long days of weary suffering, You have watched with tender care, Ever near my bedside, darling, Or beside my pillowed chair. And I long to linger with you, Till your race of life is run, But the Father's message waits me, And you know His will be done; But I'll wait you at the portal, Of that happy, golden shore, Till the boatman bears you over, When your trials here are o'er. And you will forgive me, darling, For the wrong I've just confessed? Ah, I know 'tis not iu auger, That you press roe to your breast, And, my darling, you are weeping, For your tears fall on my face. Oh, liow happy! when I'm dying, To have such a resting place. Fold me closer, closer, darling, As my pulses cease to beat. And I cannot see you, darling. Do you hear that music sweet? It is sounding nearer, nearer. And the angel whispers, "come!" I nm going?good-bye, loved one, I will wait for you at home. VVIT AND HUMOR.

"Tiie sentence of the court is," said 1 Judge Porter, a popular Irish magistrate, to a notorious drunkard, "that you be confined in jail for the longest period the law will allow, and hope you will spend the time in cursing whisky."

"Toot," the whistle said, and brakemen sprang to their tasks. "Toot" again; an extra turn was given, with passengers looking out at the windows and the engine was reversed. Still the boy waved his sig nal; and with a squealing of wheels thumping of bumpers the train came to a halt within a few feet of where that lioy stood.
