BY T. B. ARTHUB. A child was playing with some build ing blocks, and, as the mimic castle rose before bis eyes in graceful proportions, a new pleasure swelled in his heart. He felt himself to be the creator of a “thing of beauty,” and was eonseious of a new- l>orn power. Arch, wall, buttress, gate way, drawbridge, lofty tower, and battle ment were oil the work of his hands. He was in tyonder at hi$ own . skill in thus creating from an nnseemly pilA ol blocks a structure of such rare design. Silently he stood and ga?ed upon his castle with something of the pride of an architect, who sees, after months or years of skillfully applied labor, some grand conception in bis ait embodied in im perishable stone. Then ho moved aronud, viewing it on every side. It did not seem to him a toy, reaching only a few inches in height and covering bat a square foot of ground but a r<'al castle lifting itself hundreds of feet upward to ward the blue sky and spreading wide tlpbn the earth its ample foundations. As the idea grew more and more perfect, his strange pleasure increased. Now he stood with folded arms, wrapped in the overmastering illusions—now walked slowly around, ^viewing the structure on nil sides and noting every minhte particu lar—and now sat down and bent ever it wllh the fondness of a mother bending over her child Again he arose, pur posing to attain another and more dis tant view of his work. .But his foot struck against one of the buttresses and instantly, with a crash, wall, tower, and battlement fell in hopeless ruin. In the room with the boy sat his father, reading. ^ The crash disturbed him and he uttered a sharp, angry re buke, glancing, for a moment, toward the startled child, and then returning hi:’ yep to the attractive page before him, unconscious of the shadow lie had cast upon the heart of his child. Tears came into those fair blue orbs, dancing in Iqlit a moment before. From the frowning face oLkis father to which his glance was suddenly turned, the child looked back to the shapeless ruins of his castle. Is it any wonder that he bowed his face in silence npon-them and wet them with his tears ? For more than five minutes he sat ‘as still as if sleeping, then, in a mournful kind of way, yet almost noiselessly, he commenced restoring to the box from which he had taken them the many- shaped pieces that, fitly joined together, had grown into a noble building. “After the box was filled he replaced the cover and laid it carefully upon a shelf in the closet. Poor child ! That shadow was a deep one, and long in passing away. His mother found him, half an hour after ward, asleep on the floor, with cheeks flushed to an unusual brightness. She knew nothing of that trembled passage in his young life.; and the father had forgotten, in the attractions of the book he read, the momentary annoyance ex pressed in words and tones, with a power in them to shadow the heart of his child. **-.»**** A yonng wife had busied herself for many days in preparing a pleasant sur prise for her hnsband. The work was finished at last; and now she awaited his return,-with a heart full of warm emo tions. A dress in g-gowh and a pair of elegantly embroidered slippers, wrought by her own skillful fingers, were the gifts with which she meant to delight him. What a troop of pleasant fancies was in her heart 1 Ho^, almost impa tiently, did she wait for the coming twi light, which was to be dawn, not ap proaching darkness, to her. At last she heard the step of her hns band in the passage, and her pulses leaped with fluttering delight. Dike bir^Jtpon the wing, she almost flew do*® to meat him, papapept for thski— that awaited her. j To mem in thn^world o# business few dsy* pfcSs withovt their disappointments sad perplexities.

The stream of business had taken., an eddying whirl and thrown his vessel backward tnstosd of inward,-for » btief space, snd^tboa^b ,t was still in the current and gliding sifely onward again, the jar and disap pointment hail fretted his mind severely. There was no* heart-warmth in the kiss he gave his wife, not because love bad failed in any degree, but because he. bad let care overshadow love. lie drew his arm around her; but - she was conscious N <)f a diminished pressure in that embrac ing arm. .. “Are you not well?” With what tender concern was the question asked! “Very well.” He might be in body, but not in mind; that was plain, for his voice was far from being cheerful. 8hc played and sang his favorite pieces, hoping to restore, by the charm of music, brightness to his spirit. But she was conscious of only par tial success. There was still a gravity in his manner never perceived before. At tea-time she smiled upon him so sweetly across the table, and talked to him on such attract ive themes, that the right expression re turned to his countenance, and he looked as happy as she could desire. From the tea-table they retuned to their pleasant parlor. And now the time had come for offering her grft and re ceiving the coveted reward of glad sur prise, followed by sweet kisses and loving words. Was she selfish? Did she think more of her reward than of the pleasure ;*i\e would , lipstow ? Btrt that is ques- ti6ning too cldsely.' “I will be back in a moment,” she said, and, passing from tire room, she went lightly up the stairs. Both tone and manner betrayed her secret, or rather the possession of a secret, with which her j 1 mshand was to be surprised. Scarcely j hod her loving face faded from befoffn his eyes when thought returned, with a single bound, to an unpleasant event of the day, and the waters of his spirit were again troubled. He had actually arisen and crossed fhe floor once or twice, moved by a restless concern, when iris wife came back with thd dressing-gown and slippers. She was trying UfYofex. her countenance into a grave expression, ! to hold back the smiles that were con- j tiuually striving to nreak in truant cir cles around her lips, when a single 1 glance at her husband’s face told her that the spirit, driven away by the exor-1 cism of her love, had returned again to his bosom. He looked at her soberly as she came forward. “What ure these?” he asked, almost coldly, repressing surprise and affecting an ignorance in regard to the beantifii present she held in her hands that h< i did not feel. <3 “They are for yon, dfiar. I made -them." “For me! Nonsehsc! What do I 1 want with such jimcrackery ? This is a woman’s wear. Do you think I would disfigue my feet with embroidered slip pers, or dress up in a calico gown ? Put them away, dear. You hnsband is too much of a man to robe himself in gay colors like a clown or an actor.” And he waved his hand with an air of con tempt. There was a cold, sneering man ner about him, partly affected and partly real—the real born of bis uncomfortable state of mind. Yet he loved his sweet i wife, and would not; of set purpose, have wounded her for the world. This ■ unexpected repulse—this cruel reception of her present, over which she had wrought patiently, in golden hope, r for many days— this dashing to the earth of her brimful cup“6f joy, just as it touched her lips, was more than the fond ! young wife could bear. To hide the ' tears that came rushing to her eyes she turned away from her hnsband, and to coiioeal the sobs she had no power to ' repress, she went almost hurriedly from the room; and, going back to the cham ber from whence she had brought the present, she laid it away out of sight in a closet. Then, covering her face witli her hands, she sat down and strove with herself to be calm. Buk the shadow was too deep—th$ Jmartaclie too heavy. In a little while her husband followed her, and discoverfcg, something to h iff surprise, that she was weeping, said, in a slightly reproving voftfe: “Why bless me ! not in tears! What a silly little puss you are ! Why didn’t you tell me you thought of making a dressing-gown and pair of alipperj, and [ would have vetoed the matter at once ? You couldn’t hire me to wear snob daunting things. Come back to the parlor”—he took hold of her arm and lifted her from the chair—“and sing and play for me. 'The Dream Waltz’ or ‘The Tremolo,’ ‘Dearest May’ or ‘The Stilly Night,’ are worth more to me than forty dressing gowns or a cargo of em broidered slippers.” > Almost by force, he led her back to the parlor sod placed her on the music- ■tool^Me selected a favorite piece and laid it before her. vox tears were in her eyes^and she could not see a note. Over the keys her fingers passed in skillful toffibhes, bat when she tried to take tfp the song uttsfWce failed, and sobs broke forth instead-of words. “How foolish!” said the hnsband, in a vexed tone. ‘Tm surprised at you!” And turned from tbs. piano and walked aereas the room. Ajtttle while the aad yonng wife re mained where she was left thus alone, and in partial anger. Then, rising, she went slowly from the room—her hns band not seeking to restrain her—and going back to her chamber, sat down in upon her spirit was very deep, and, though the hidden sun came out again right early, it was a long time before his U iims had power to scatter the clouds that floated hi love’s horizon. The shadows wc cast! Father, hus band, wife, sister, brother, son, neighbor ; —are we not all casting shadows daily on some hearts that are pining for the sunlight of our faces ? We have given you two pictures of life, true pictures, uot os a mirror, but as a kaleidoscope. In all their infinitely varied relations, men and women, selfishly or thought lessly—from design, weakness, or ignor ance—are casting their shadows upon hearts that are pining for sunlight. A word, a look, a tone, an act will cost a shadow and sadden a spirit for hours and days. 8peak kindly, act kindly, be for- getters of self and regarders of others, and you will east but few shadows along the path of life. The true gentleman is always tender of the feelings of others— always watchful, lest he wound unin tentionally—always thinking, when with others, of their pleasure instead of bit own. Ho casts but few shadows. Bf gentlemen—Indies, or—in a word thal includes all graces and excellencies— Christians, Tor it is the Christian who casts fewest shadows of all. THE OLD SCHOOL-MASTER.

The great Robert Houdin went by royal command to Saint Cloud, to give a show before Louis Philippe and his family. In the course of this show he borrowed six handkerchiefs from the audience. Then various members of the audien co wrote down on sli^ps of paper .the names of places whither they woald like the handkerchiefs to be transported Thia dond, the conjurer asked the Kiftg to choose throe of those slips at random, and from the three to select the place he preferred. “ Come,” said Louis Philippe, “let ns see what is on this slip. ‘ I should like them to be fonnd myler one of the candlesticks on the m..i;tJ*‘piece. ’ That is too easy for a wizard; let ns try again. ‘T should like them to be found on the dome of the Invalides.’ That is too far, not for the handkerchiefs, but for us. Ah ! you will, I fear, find it difficult to comply with the request on the last, slip.” The re quest was that the handkerchiefs should l>e found in the box of the lust orange- tree on the right hand of the avenue at St. Clond. The conjurer expressed his readiness to comply with the request, and the King immediately sent off a party of men to keep gnnrd over the t>range-tree. The conjurer put the hand- kerchiefs under a bell of thick glass, waved his wand, took up the bell, and showed a white dove in place of the handkerchiefs. Then the King, with a sceptical smile, sent orders to the head gardener to open the box of the orange- tree chosen, lind to bring whatever he might find there. Tim was done, and presently there was brought in an iron coffer, covered with rust “Well !” cried the King, “here we have a coffer. Are the handkcrc Liefs in it?” “Yes, sire,”repliedRoliert Houdin, “they have been there a long time.” “A long time, when it is only a quarter of an Hour since they were given to you?” “What, sire, would be the use of magic if it could not perform impossible feats? Your Majesty will lie surprised when I prove to you that the coffer and its con tents have been in the box of the orange- tree for sixty years.” The King now ol«erved that a key was needed to open the box, and Robert Houdin asked him to take the key which was hung by a ribbon round the white dove’s neck. This key was as rnstyas the coffer which it opened, and the first thing found in thq coffer was a parchment bearing these words : “To-day, June 6, 1786. This iron coffer, holding six handkerchiefs, has been placed amid the roots of an orange-tree by me, Balsamo, Count of Cagliostro, to aid the accomplishment of a magical feat which will be done this day sixty years before Louis Philippe, of Orleans, and his family.” Below the parchment Uy a packet sealed with Cagliostro’s seal, which was well known to the King, and in the packet were .the six borrowed handkerchiefs. Lost His Yote. Tb* •bf*’* *Wak Ml bma cast When Mr. J. B. Bell was running for sheriff of Lowndes county, Mississippi, he attended a barbecue given by the people of neighborhood, where be met a number of his constituents. Mr. B. has “a peculiarly good memory for faces, but a very poor one for names,” so he says. At the barbacue he met a man whose face was perfectly familiar, bnt no mental effort eould recall his name. After a good deal of general conversation on current topics, the affa ble candidate—not wishing to ask the man his muhe outright—remarked.in terrogatively: 'T believe I have for gotten how you spell your name ?” “B-a-k e-r, Baker—and HI be hanged if I'll vote for any man for sheriff that can’t spell Baker,” replied the sovereign, with good-natured sarcasm.

It consisted of a semi-circular opening cut in a large deal table, and big enough to admit the boy. Now it is Master John Smith who is to be savagely whipped. , “William Brown, the saddle 1” thun ders he of the heavy ruler. William leaves his desk, enters the aperture, and leans his body forward. “John Smith, mount!” roars the master. John, with a shndder of dread stretches his body upon the body of William Brown. “Peter Jones, croupier 1’’ again bellows the muter. . Peter climbs upon the table, holds down Johnnie's head and adjusts his pantaloons for the blows that are im- hrinent vi v “Joseph Jinks, David Tripp, the stir- rups I” once more shouts the school- muter. Masters Jinks and Tripp step forward, extend Johnnie’s arms, and tightly grasp his hands to prevent a struggle. All being in readi&em, the massive ruler descends with many s merciless whack, whack, whack, that more than hears thereafter in his dreams with s cry of tenor to find the hoi scalding his cheeks. Poor Johnnie can not} even squirm, and he realises that? so muchu n muffled moan will sail down upon his pinioned frame mn Jt&dition&l seri** of whacks. Another pet scheme was what the Doctor called “spauchezzling.” He laid a boy npoa the floor, spread- eagle fashion, with fonr boys to hold bis feet and hands. Then this scholastic Nero would stand over the prostrate lad, and, with tantalizing slowness, pour a diminutive stream of water into his face. In one corner wu a cruel structure called “The Gibbet.” Upon this an obnoxious boy was stood, and the infer nal machine could be so regulated as to bring his head against the ceiling. This, in a literal sense, wu the summit of tor tures. Bnt, horrabile dictul atop wu a superstructure known os 'fThe Pin nacle.— If the culprit moved an ell or made as much noise u s moose, then would be thundered the order, “The Pinnacle ! n and the culprit ’ would have to go higher, and stand his hoar with his head npon his breast or shoulder. The Doctor sat enthroned upon a stool within a railing that extended acrou the entire school room. The scholars sat in front of this rough enclosure nponrongh benches. At a command from' the Doc tor the boys wonld tun their feet through the railing, and then the muter wonld divert himself by spitting npon the ur chins’ feet. The motive!or this most odious act is unknown. At one table were the regulation stocks, as cruelly constructed u were ever thoee in charge of a village beadle. If a cleanly l>oy came in, dressed spick-span, the master wonld bellow: , - . “Boy, to the chimney I We want no lollypoppy here.” So Muter Neatness would have to crawl into the chimney place, only to emerge at dismissal usooty u a London sweep. If a scholar wu caught chewing to bacco he would make him cut it out Then he wonld mix the tobacco with ashes, and oblige the chewer to resume his quid. With sardonic facetiouanes* he called this a quid pro quo. He had a smaller ruler known u the “little arrow.” When the little arrow was in its place—that is, within its bracket on the wall—no one wu to ap proach his majesty. When the arrow wu removed, it wu a signal that he would hold brief mdianoe with his little subjects. When the little screw wu taken down and flourished, then the school most in stantly begin to spell “A-m-am-b-i-bi- g-u-gu-i-i-t-y-ty-Ambiguity. ” All the old settlu* to-flay know how, to spell ambiguity. Bun the old sea farers, who speak ia their ships* logs of “write whale/’ are solid on ambi guity. Orthography wps the old strongest point. A boy most spell or go to the Notch.

An interesting story is told of the way in which a paying teller of one of the St Louis banka, of a shrewd and provi dent turn of Jhind, wu able to aoquiM|^ competency in a short time, and thin retire from his position without the hank having been any the loser by the oper ation, and without having hia own repu tation blasted. The story is that the bank carried a heavy cash balance to meet snob calls a% might be made upon it from day to day, and to draw upon in cue of a run. This wu intrusted to the paying teller. Instead of allowing thia sum to remain in the bank’s aafe, u the intention of the directors, and u they supposed to be aotnally the. the teller invested largely in 6 per oeot bonds and early issues of the Govern ment 4 per cents. These were substi tuted for the ouh, the investor cutting off the ooupcos and getting the money on them as t^ey became payable. The prospective calls upon the etah could be r eadily estimated, and anything beyond that limit wu eon verted into bonds. This state of aflkire went along smoothly for about two yeas, the enUprising tel ler enjoying all the privilegekaa to J pons of a bloated bondholder. Soon after the Oby Owen became pqblic, the directors hot* den spasm of vigilance, and ooa day, without a moment’s warnjafc they called upon the teller for his kaya, and about to institute a ooum ol With an aunnmoe and nen the in vestigsting directors fairly speech less, he said: “Gentlemen, yon cannot have the key a. I will give yon my writ ten resignation, according to the turns of our oontraot, but yon shall not have the keys to thaaafe,” * - The gentlemen weretekdRwmpletelj by aorptbOtind knewml^what to aqy or da Arrest wu thgeatmad/hut the teller wu obdurate, and fta dinacton finally withdrew to talk the matter over. s This gave him his chance, and slipping out with the surreptitiously gpirhund bonds, he speedily converted them into cub, and the right amount wu deposited in the vaults. By that time the objection to the surrender of flu keys wu removed, and the directors and bondsmen, who had* been thoroughly nonplused and thoroughly frightened by the refusal, found their hesped-up thrmulkls secure wd the bank on u sound finnUgfl bed rock u it had ever been. The flHi that the teller had just disposed of a amount of bonds, however, led fc the discovery of the way in which ha had been using the funds of the bank for hia own emolument, and tee resignation went into effect. Daring the ****** be tween the purchase and sale ef tee batefc they had largely appreciated in jo that during the transaction the teller had cleared between $50,000 and $60,000 from the rise in value and the coup The bank wu none the poorer from tea operation, and attempts made to compel the employee to disgorge his profits were unavailing. Public prosecution would have given the affair unpleasant notoriety tat both parties, and the story has consequently been closely kept Addreu, TflBVBaPUl Barnwell 0. H., 8. O. she Held the fort.
