J0?3T Alt Work Guaranteed. The Cost of a Train. At the time when tha first open court of law was established in Russin, a lady, dr:svcd with the utmost ele gance, was walking on the Moscow promenade, leaning upon her hus band's arm, ami letting the long train ol lier rich d'ess sweep tin dust and dii t of the street. A young officer, coming hastily from a side street, was so eare!ess as to catch one of his spurs in the lady's train, nnd in an instant a great piece was twin out of the costly but frail material of the dress. 'I beg a thousand pardons, mad am,' said the officer, with a p ?'ite bow, and tlien was about passing on, w hen lie wa> detained by the lady's bus hand. 'Yon have insulted my wife.' 'Kolbing was farther from my in tent ions, sir. Your wife's long ?Ires.* is n blatiii for theaeeident. which 1 sincerely regret, and 1 beg you mice more l>> receive my upalug-es i'<>v any carelessness on my part.' Ther.s upon he attempted to hasten on. 'You shall not escape so,' said the lady, with her head thrown back iri a spirited way. ' fti day is lhe tir-t lime I have worn this dress, and it inst two hundred rubles, which you must make good. 'My dear inndam, I beg you not to deia n ine. I am obliged to go bit duly at mice. As ti the two hundred rubles?I really cannot, help the length ol your dress, yet J beg your pardon for not having be n more cautious.', 'You shall not stir,sir. That you me obliged to go on duty is nothing to us. .My wife is right; the dress must be made good.' The officer's lace grew* pale. 'You force tnu lo break through the rules of the service, and I shall n eeivc punishment.' 'Pay the two hundred rubles and ton are free.' 'I he quickly changing color in the young man's: face. >bow> d how in waidly disturbed he was; but step ping close up to them both he said with apparent self-command: 'You will renounce your claim when 1 tell yi u that I am a?a poor m:in, who has noihing to Ii' e on but his officer's pay, ami the amount oi ihat pay hardly reaches the sum of iwo hundred i ithlos in a w lode ye u\ 1 can'then fore, make no amends I'd' the misfortune except by again beg giit'j your pardon.' 'Oh! anybody could say all that; hut we'll see if it's true; we'll find out if you have nothing but your pay I declare myself not satisfied with your excuses, and I demand my money, persisted the lady, in th ? h ud voice of a thoroughly unfeeling woman. 'That is true?you arc r.glit,' the husband added, dutifully supporting her. 'By good luck we have th" open court now just in session. Go with us before the judge ami he will decide the matter ' All fun her protestation on the officer's pii'rt that he was poor that he was expected on duty, did not he'p mattets. Out of respect lor his uni form, and to avoid an open scene, he had to go with them to the < oiirt | room; when the,gallery was! densely i packed with a eorwd of jieojde. A lii i wailing some lime, the lady I had leave tu bring her comp'aiiil. j 'What have you to answer to cbiuplaiut ?' said the judge, turning j to the officer, who seemed embarrassed 1 and half in despair 'On the whole, very Ii tele. As the lateness of the hour, und being re ijtiircd on duty, compelled nie to hurry, 1 did not notice the lady's train, . which was dragging on the ground. I caught one of my spurs in it, and had the misfortune to teat* thh dress. Madame would not receive hiy excuse, but perhaps she might find herself more disposed to forgive ness, when I again declare, so help me God, that I committed this awk ward blunder without any mischiev ous intention, and 1 earnestly beg that she will pardon mo.' A murmur ran through the gallery, evidently from the people taking sides with iffe defendant, and against long traiha^kiri general, and the lady I in particiliar. The j?dg4 called to order, and ask ed, 'An* you satisfied with the de fendant's explanation ? 'Not at all sali lied. I demand two j hundred rubles in payment for my torn dress.' 'Defendant, will you pay this sum !' T wou'd have paid it long bolorc this had I been in a position to do so. Unfortunately I a n poor. My pay as an officer is all I h ive to live on.' 'You hear, co;. p'ainant, that the defendant is not able lo pay the sum you demand of him. Du you still wish the complaint to stand?' Aa unbflBeii stillness reigned throughout TiR; hall, and the young I nilieor's breath euii'd be heard coming hard. '1 w ish it to stand. The law. shall give me my i ights.' Then ran through ihc rows ol pe pic a mui'iiith' of indignation that ? s<iund 'tl like a rushing of water. '< 'nnsidor, complainant, the eon sequence of your demand. The do Iciidiiiit can be punished only by I being deprived of his personal liberty, ami l>v that you could obtain no satisfaction, while to the defendant it might prove the greatest injury in bis rank and position as an ollicer, and especially as he is an officer who is poor and dependent upon his pay. l)?i you still insist upon your com plaint ?' 'I still insist upon it.' The course tin: affair was taking seemed to have become painful to the lady's husband, lie spoke with his wife urgently, mit as coif Id bi seen by the way she kehl up her head and the energy with which she shook it quite uselessly. The judge was just going on' to ftirilii-rciinsidertlTo'^Iise, wlrnn^ a loud voice was heard from the audience : T will place the two hundred rub les at the service of the defendant.' Tliciu folhiwc I a giloiic ?, d.iri'ig which n gentleman forced his way thr.mgh the crowd and place.1 him self by the young officers side. "Sir. I am the Prince of YV?? und lieg you will obligue me by ac cepting the loan of th two hundred rubles in question.' 'iYiiiee, I am not worthy of your kindness; for I dont know if 1 shall ever be ab'e to pay the loan,' an swered the young man, in a voice, tremulous with emotion. 'Take the. money at all even's, I can wait until you are able to red ru it. Thereupon the. prince hehl mit two notes of a hundred rubles each, lind coming ?dose t?p to him, whis pered a few woids very ?oltTy. Th re was a sudden lightning in I be young officer's face. lie immediately took the two notes, and turning toward the lady, handed them to her with a polite bow. 'J hope, mad nine, you are satisfied.4 With a malicious smile she reach ed out her hand for the money. 'Yes; now I am satisfied.' With a scornful glance over the crowd of spectators, she prepared to leave the court room on her bus band'.- ttrm. tiiadiioe,1 said the oilicer, who had suddenly i< "ine like an ? man, with a fuin and mfidoni manner. ' W bat d i y ? i a .tut '{' I i. > look that tue v??1114 wohin 11 cast Upen him was as insulting n possible. 'I want my dress,' hu answered with a .?dight but still perfectly po lite bow. '(live me your address, and I will send it to y mi.' 'Oh. no, my dear math'.me, 1 am in the habit of taking my purchases with tue at once Favor me with the dress immediately.' A shout of approbation came from ! the gallery. 'Order !' cried the judge. 'What an insane demand, said the lady's husband; 'My wife cannot undress herself here.' 'I havo nothing to do with you, sir, in this mutter, hut only with the complainant. 13o so good, madume, as to give me the dress immediately. I am in a great hurry; thy affairs aro urgent, ahaT cannot wait a moment longer.' 1 The pleasure of the audience at the expense ol the lady increased with every word, until it was hard to enforce any approach to quiet, so that either party*::cou?d he heard. 'Do not jest any more dh?ut it.. I will l. urry" and send you the dross as goon a?, ^possible.' '1 am n(jtjesting. I demand from the representative of the law my own property?-that dress,' said the ofiieer raising his voice. Tim judge, thus appealed to deci ded promptly. 'The ofiieer is right, madaiue. Von are obliged lo hand him over the dress on the spot.' 'I can't undress hero myself ho f.tre all these people, an I go homo without arty dress on,' said the young woman, with anger and tears. 'You slum Id have thought ?>f "that sooner. Now you have no time to lose. Eijher give up tho dress of your owU accord, or?.' A iu.1 that could not he misintorpcrted brought lo the lady's side two officers ot jus tic ?, who'$ccmed about to take upon themselves the office of my lady's maid. 1 fake your money bauk and leave me my dress.' 'Oh, no, madame; that dress is now worth more than two hundred rubles to me.' 'How much do yon ask for it ?' 'Two thousand rubles,' said the officer, fiituly 'I wi 111 pay the. sum,' the weeping lady's.h^band responded promptly. 'I 'liave Ui?re. five hundre l rubles.

MY FANNY FKUK. Dear Mary, said Harry Morton to his beautiful wife, 1 have a favor to ask of you. Von have a friend whom ' I dislike very much, and who I am quite sure, will make trouble between us. Will you give up Mrs May for my sake, Mary ? A slight ghadc of vexation crossed Mrs Morton's pretty face; as she said you are unreasonable, Harry. She is ladylike, refined, intellectual and ascinating?is she not ? Yes, all of that; and for this very reason lor influence over one so vie ding and impulsive as yourself is more to be drraded, if uiifiiV?rahlu, I'm quite in earnest. Mary. I could wish never to see you together again. Dear Harry, that's going too far. Don't be disagreeable; lets talk of something else As Uncle .lohn says 1 low's business? and she looked arch ly in his face. Harry didn't smile. Well said Mrs Morion, turning away, nnd lapping her loot nervously; I don't see how I can break off with hi r. Harry, for a whim of yours ? bvsddos. I've promised to go there this very evening. Mr. Morton made no reply, and in a few m incuts was on his way to the city. Man stood behind the curtain, and looked after hin. as he went down the street towards the point where the omnibus was to be got. There was an uncomfortable stifling sensation in hei throat and something very like a fear g Ufering in her eye. Harry was vexed, she was sure of that. He had gone off, for tho first time since their marriage, without the affection ate "good bye" that was usual with him, e\en when they parted but for an hour or two. And so she wandered, restless and unhappy into her bed chamber. It was quite a little gem. There statuettes, nnd pictures, nnd vases? ull gifts from him cither before or since their marriage; each one had a history of its own?some tender asso ciation connected with Harry. There was a bouquet?still fresh and fra grant?that he had purchased on Iiis way home the day before, to gratify her passion for flowers. There was a choice cdi'ion ot poems they were reading together the night before, with Mary's name written on the leaf in Harry's own hand. Turn where she would, some proof of his devotion mwt her eye. But Mis. May! She was fo smart and satrical ! She would make so much sport of her, for b^ing 'ruled'' si by Harry! Hadn't she told her "all the men were tyrantsV" And this was Harry's first attempt lb govern her. No, no?it would j't do for her to yield, ?So the pretty evening dress was taken out; the ti Immings readjusted and rcinoddcl led, and "all the little tv cctcm* of her toilet decided. Yes, she would go?she had quite ma lc up her mind to that. Then she opened her jewcll ease: a little note fell at her feet. She knew the contents ve ry well. It was from Harry?slipped slyly into her hand on her birthday, with that pretty bracelet. It couldn't do any harm to read it again. It was very I over-like for a year old hus band, hut she liked it. Dear Harry ! And she folded it back, an.I sat down, more unhappy than ever?with her hands crossed in her lap, and her mind in a most pitiable state of resolution Perhaps, sifter all, Harry was right about Mrs. May; and if he wasn't, one hairof his head was worth more to her than alt the women in the world. He had never said one un kind woid to her?never! He had anticipated every wish, He had been so attentive alid solicitous when she was ilh How could she grieve him ? ? ~ Lov-c-t-tijujiicjicil j....Tbe pretty rohe uns lidded up ami put away--Ihe jewels returned to their case?and with a light h ttrf, .Mary sat down to await her husband '* return. 'I he In ups were not lit in the parlor when Harry Cime up the street. She hail gone, (hen ! alter all he had said ! He passed .-lowly through the hall, entered the dark and deserted room, and threw himself oil the sofa with n heavy sigh! lie was not angry?but he was grieved ami disappointed. The first doubt that creeps over the mint! of the a (feet ion ot' one we love is so very painful ! Dear Harry ! said a welcome voice at his side. Heaven bless you, Mary! a aid the happy husband; you've saved me from a keen sorrow. Young lady reader, there are s inie husbands worth all the sacrifice? a loving heart ran make. To be contented with w hat we have to day is lo be happy for all coining morrows. He contented with what you have, as the rat said to the > rap w hen he left his tail in it. If falsehood paralyzed the tongue, what a death like silence would per vndc society. Love of .ruth shows itself in dis covering ami appreciating what is good wherever it mav exist. Why are washerwomen the stillest <?. people? Because they put out their tubs to catch soft water when it rains hard. Why was the first of September like the transgression of Adam? Became it was the. beginning of the Fall. Judge Lindeman, of Cincinnati, sentenced a boy to two years' imprison nicht for stealing a newspaper fioin a doorstep. The lad's mother was there by made insane, ami the magistrate is the object ol public indignation. "Don't trotiblo yourself to stretch your month any wider," said a den tist lo his patient, "1 intend to stand outside to draw your tooth." 1 Oh, J wanted to show you what I bail for breakfast,'' was the ro.idy reply. Married Politeness. ......?tT*%k 'Will }'ou V asked a pleasant vojea. And the husband aswered : *Ye.1, my, cae with pleasure.' It was quietly but heartily said; the tone, the manner, the look, were per fectly natural and very affectionate. We thought: How pleasant tho courteous reply! How gratifying it must bo to tlio wife ! Many husbands of ten years' experience are ready enough with the courtesies of polite ness to tho young Indies of their ac quaintance, while they speak with abruptness to tho wife, and do many rude little things without considering them worth an apology. Tho stranger whom they may have seen but yester day, is listened to with deference, and although tho subject may not be one of the plcasantcst nature, with a ready smile; while the poor wife, if she ro Irites a domestic grievance, is snub b d or listened to with ill-concealed impatience. Oh ! how wrong this U ? all wrong. Does she urge some request ? 'Oh! don't bother me,' crie3 her gracious lord and master. Does.she ask for necessary funds for Susy's shoes or Tommy's hat? '.?Seems to mo you're always want ing money !' is the handsome retort. Is any little extra demanded by his masculine appetite, it is ordered, nut requested : 'Look here, I want you to do so au 1 so-just sec that it's done;'and off marches Mr. Boor, with a bow and,a smile of gentlemanly polish for every casual acq.iaiutane j It j maychanca to recognize. When we meet with such thought 1 ess n ess and coarseness, our. thoughts revert to the kind voice and gentle manner of the friend who said : 'Yes, my dear, with pleasure.' 'I beg your pardon' comes as readily to hisdips, "w heir^fey-^ryHiaie^ disconcerted her as it would in tho presence of the most fashionable stick lers for etiquette, ibis is because he is a thorough gentleman, who thinks Iiis wife in all things entitled to pro eedonce. lie loves her best. Why shouhi he hesitate to show it ? not in sickly maud in attentions, but in pro feriu i her pleasure, honoringdvijr in public as well as in private. He i knows her worth. Why should he hesitate to attest it ? 'And her hits hand he praised her,' saith holy writ; not by fulsome adulation, not by push ing her charms into notice, but by spoil king as opportunity occurs, in many ways of her virtues. Though words seem little things, and slight attention almos' valueless, yet, depend upon it they keep the flame bright, especially if they are natural. The children grow up in a better moral atmosphere and I earn to respect their parents as they see them respecting each other. Many a boy ttikes advantage of the mother ho loves, because he sees often the rude ness of his father. Insensibly ho gathers to his bosom the same habits and the thoughts and feelings they engender and in his turn becomes tho petty tyrant. Only his mother! Why should he thank her? Fatlior never does. Thus the home becomes the scat of disorder and unhappiiies9. Only for strangers are kind words ex pressed, and hyprocrites go out from the hearthstones fully prepared to render justice, benevolence and polito ness to every one and any one but those who have the j listest claims. Ah! give us the kind glance, the hap py homestead, the smiling wife and courteous children of tho friend who said so pleasantly: 'Yes, my dear, with pleasure' . utm? 'T? i ? ?. ?m.rii i ?
