How I Had My Fortune Told. I lind been rambling, on a lovely morning in the month of Mny, among tbo green lsnes of Surrey, with their bosky dells, their odorous hedges all alive with 6nowy haw thorn-buds, coming, ?ver and anon, into little villages, nnd then parsing through copsc nnd woodland, when, emerging out of a leafy coppice, tho sounds of a merry fife, nnd the laughter of a number of young peasant boys and little maidens, met my ears; nnd presently I was on the skirt of a pretty village green, with its "pound," and " tocka," and velvet sward, and a little maypole, built in front of a rampant "lied Lion," swinging before an old-fashioned, rambling old tavern?some hundred yards across, the pond, all alive with ducks and gabbling gowo; and tho sceno was ns perfect a pastoral?as lovely, and as thoroughly English j ?as anything I overcame by chance across j in the course of my life. All at once, while I was leaning on my ! stout stick, and glancing at my dusty shoes, and then across the jjieen "all pied with | daisies," to the merry tlirong at tlie may- I pole, and listened to the laughter of the j young ones, and the shrill but rejoicing "morris" of the flute, a voice by my side startled mo with its deep, rich, contralto tones, saying, "Cross but the gipsy's hand with a piece of silver, my pretty gentleman, and have your fortune told 5" I turned, and looked upon a face whose fascination took away my breath. I have ! ever been sensible to facial beauty, and had fcccn many a pretty face in my rambles, both "IJritish" and "foreign"?"home growth and colonial"?but Hot so attractive, so startling as this. The huo was of a dusky olive, in which : the rich blood mantled as in rapid pulse, i The eyes were large and lambent, deep and I -1 ft- i - -- - jam, huu nasning like wells of light out of brown, fathomless depths. The lips were full, ruddy, and of a moist, vermeil hue, which is not to be discovered in painting, unless Morland may have hit their warmth of tone. Tbo hair was black and glo6sy, stealing in long, sinuous curls beneath a white coif, covered by a broad-leafed "buckle" hat, and, with the red cloak and the russet bodice, there 6tood before me the loveliest ideal of n'gipsy of eighteen the eye of reality ever rested upon. "Let me tell your fortune, my pretty gentleman I" But now came a procession of at least a score of gipsies?male and female, old and young, sturdy manhood, rich, mature matronhood, infancy, in its donkey panniers, and old age, in its light car?all going, as I guessed, to a neighboring fair ; and their lips were full of furtive mirth, as the gipsy halted, and held me still by the witchery of her glorious eye. On they passed along the winding road, nod we were still together. For a time I gazed dreamily after them, and then fulljon her. The eyes had ceased to be bold?they dropped before mine. "Your fortune, my pretty gentleman J" etill echoed in ray cars. I was n handsome fellow enough?bo my sister said. I wa3 a strapping youth?five feet ten in my stockings?could pull, and fence, and wrestle, and had carried a''double "first"?so she might not have been so much mistaken in her "pretty gentleman," after ill). One man?a strong-built carl, a six-footer, at least, having in his arms a splendid game-cock, going to make a main, I doubted not?turned upon me with something ?vil in hlR orlnn^o in T (j.?vv, II uiuu ?. icau ? pii!>8IOII that, iu the unknowu nature of the gipsy, I had never dreamed of before, lie spoke to her in a voice half of command, half of entreaty. "Prance it, Judith, after the Koms and Juwas," he said, in Romany dialect. "The 13usnee lilood in cold, and his cly smaller than his hind, and less to hold." 1 did not understand his jargon, save that it was something deprecatory. The gipsy moved not ~ her 6mile, her exquisite face, was yet bent full upon mine. Jealous!? jealous of mo ! I don't know to (his hour what stirred my blood, but I never feit such o ili.in . ..

"We shall meet; it is decreed we ! shall meet!" And at last, at last we did | meet; but how ? i I was at Port Philip once, seeking for j some laborers to hire, for my farm had in- j creased, my stores multiplied, and I requir- j , cd more men to aid me. A vessel had late- ! ly landed there a remnant of emigrants, who, < stricken down by the plague, lay helpless i on the beach, in canvas tents, and praying for death, from the tardy help the frighten- ; ed people dared scarcely bring them. Totterincr to meet mo came a wan. worn figure, willi the ricli olive of her wasted facc almost faded, but tlio eyes wero like glow- 1 ing opals. I knew lier at once. "Judith ! Judith !"' I cried aloud. I "Tt is he? it is he !" she half shrieked, 1 i and fainted in tv.y arms. 1 I did not tarry long at Port Philip, but j hastened my return. | Judith, the magnificent, the matchless, 1 has been my wife, the mother of my chil- ' dten?a finer, nobler rac?cyes never looked ] oi.~ i? t --- uj/vsu. uuv iins uueH mine?mine own?my beloved?my devoted for years passed now ; ] and truly did she say our horoscopes were equal, our "houses" one, our destinies intertwined. 1 Those so dear to me, whom I left in old England, have long had a home here with me; and while we have cattle on a thou- , sand hills, I am a master, a prince, a monarch in Uio rich benignant wilds that have been pastures, fields, vineyards, pardons? ^ o all ruine, and theirs to inherit after me. "That's how I had ray fortune told," says j raj friend in a letter to me ten years ago ; and this is how I havo sketched it for the readers of tho Miscellany. Laughter.?Laughter is not altogether a foolish thing. Sometimes there is even wisdom in it. Solomon himself admits "there is a time to laugh," as well as a lime to mourn. Man only laughs?man, the hightest organized being; and hence the de- , filiation that lias been proposed of "Man, a laughing animal," a "tool-making animal," ? ? -1-: :? <? uiuucj- iiiiimui, a "poiiiicai animal," or such-like. Laughter very often shows the blight side of a man. It brings out his happier nature , and shows of what sort of stuff lie is really made. Somehow we feel as if we never thoroughly know a man until we hear liiin laugh. Wo do not feel" at home" with him till then. We do not mean a mere snigger, but a good j round, hearty laugh. The solemn, sober,! visage, like a Sunday's dress, tells nothing J of the real man. lie may be very silly, or ' very profound : verv cross, or vorv mllv ? mm ' ?/ ' " ~ ~~ J J J m Lot us hear him laugh, and we can decipher him at once, and tell bow his hearts beats. ! i ' We arc disposed to suspect the man who never laughs. At all events, there is repulsion about him which we cannot get over. Lavatcr says, "Shun that man who never laughs, who dislikes music, or the glad face of a child." This is what everybody feels and none moro than children, who are quick at reading character; and their 6trong instinct rarely deceives them.?Blackwood.

Tho warm wcntlicr will shortly bo hero, mill every ono will be seeking tho refreshing influence of a cool and shady plncc, wbereunlo they can retreat from the blazing sun ; so we will give our renders a few hints concerning the cooling of their houses. The first necessity is n thorough draft. This can always be obtained by opening every iloor and window in tho basement, the top ofevery window above, and by throwing I. i ? ? " - eacii uoor wiue open ; but above all, be sure that ihe trap door in the roof is open, nnd thero is plenty of air room from it down tho stairs, so that whichever bo the direction of the wind, there will ho at least one ascending current of air in tho house. Another requisite is shade. Our common slat shutters answer well for the windows, but the moat cheap and convenient shelter lor the roof is to cover it thickly with straw, dried reeds or rushes. These will resist the influence of the noonday sun, and keep the garret almost as the basement. One of the most simple methods, and at the same time cheapest means of artificially lowering the temperature of a room is to wet a cloth of ;uiy size the larger the better, and suspend it in the place you want cooling; let the room be well ventilated, ami tho temperature will sink from ten lo twenty degrees in less tlian half an hour. The <ibove hints will bo useful to many, and as a last suggestion wo will inform the reader that, in summer, it is well lo keep a solution of chloride of lime in the house, and occasionally sprinkle it in the inoie frequented parts, as the passages and stairs.?

CobbetCs Advice to Young Men. What Makes Babies Different : ? "Many years ago, before llic days of railways, a nobleman and his lady, with their infant child, were travelling, in the depth of winter, across Salisbury J Main. A snowstorm over-took them, their child became ill from the cold, and they were forccd lo take refuge in a lone shepherd's hut. The wild shepherd and his wife gathered round the child in awe and silence. The nurse began undressing it by the warm cottage fire. Silken frock and head-dress did tiie baby wear. One rich bady-dress came off to reveal another more beautiful. Still the shepherd and his wife looked on with awe. At last the process of undressing was completed, and the now naked baby was being warmed by the fire. Then was it, when all these wrappings and oninr lmcL-? were peeled off, that the shepherd and It is wife broke silence, exclaiming, "Why, it's just like one of ours!" What if all the the world, like the shepherd and his wife, could sco that ordinary kings and queen*, when their state robes are off, "are just like one of us.* 1'erhaps they would then discern that the real king with his state robes on or off is something very different." Burkk's Genkiiositv.?On walking home, one night, from the House of Commons, lie was accosted by one of those wretched women who infest the public tlioroughfarcs of a great tow n. Finding thai the man she addressed was of a character different from that of her usual associates, she burst into tears, and told him her very painful history. It was, of course, the ordinary tale, more than ordinarily pathetic: a lady's maid?tho lady's son?desertion? destitution?the streets. As she was talk ingio mm, LSurke arrived at his own door. Thero was something in tho degraded object's language that struck him as sincere. Solemnly admonishing her that everything might depend upon herself, he called his househecper, and told her to take care of the unhappy stranger until she could be seen by Mrs. Burke. The next day, this kind lady, always ready t6 second her husband in his humane designs, saw the poor woman. Tho opportunity of amendment was affoideed her, and eagerly embraced. Her benefactor had no reason to repent of his effort to save, from absolute despair. this outcast of the London streets. Life of Edmund Burke.

(Jno evening ?, week just as tlio bell of 1 1 the Sing Sing 1'rison was ringing "all right' | ; anil most oi' the officers were about taking i I their departure iron) the Institution, a little i girl about seven yenre of nge entered the Warden's office. On being questioned as to her nnmo and errand. She said that her name was Agnes W ,and that she had "come all the way from New York to see her father, whom her mother had told her was in Prison at Sing Sing." The intelligent and mournful looks of the child soon enlisted the | sympathy of the Warden and other officers, and it was at onco decided to gratify the wishes of tho little heroine. Hut a difficulty at once arose?there being no less than four convicts hearing the same name as tho father, hut this difficulty was soon overcome by tho little girl her- ; self. She said that her father was a cooper by I trade, and it. became apparent at once that | i the .1 XV employed in the "Shook | 1 Shop" was tho looked for father. lie was I soon brought Irmn his cull to tho ofliec, and 1 i the scene which took |>laco between the i j convicti-d father and his child will not soon j | he forgotten hv those who witnessed it.? ! 1 Accustomed as tlie officers arc to affectingj , scenes between the convicts and their relaj lives, this one was too much fur their feelI ings, and a tear stood in the eye of many of ; those stout-hearted men. J The story of little Agnes to her father : was "that her mother was very ]>oor, lived | out at service, and could not come to see | him, so she thoughlsho would come herself; I that sho left New York that morning withi out one cent of money?walked through the ' city till she came to the railroad that some j uoys told lier passed through Sing Sing; ; that she crept in one of llie cars and hid herself away, and when found l>y llie con duct or, he allowed her ride all the way up fur nothing, and that some of the hoys in the village told her the way to the Prison." | After spending some time with her fa-! ! titer, .she was kindly taken care of for the i : night l>y one of our citizen*, and the np.\t' j morning a lady of our village accompainied ; her to New York, and had her placed in an j asvhlin ilevolril ji<5 n Iioiurt ill" <.tiil.ti-.n . i of the destitute, where site wiil bo taken | ! care of, and properly and kindly treated, j Sing Sing Chronicle. Inconsistencies.?There are some hui man inconsistencies and foibles so very ter| rible and degrading that we greet them i with a laughter which is akin to tears. The i f..i: i " ' I wi?uiy looiisii scepticism 01 a young man is ludicrous in its vanity; yet very terrible when viewed in another and clearer light. It seems so unnatural that wo can claim no kindred with him, and his doubts repel the better nature and love which tire the prerogative of youth, the divinity of which is harnessed in a dark and heavy burden, tin- j der which it cannot rise nor be got rid of except by earnest ami terrible struggles. Mr. Shillaber tells the following rather remarkable cun storv :?"Sneakinn- tn-dnv v ' . ? c -;-v i with a son of n gun, regarding some gunning exploits, ho told me of a singular instance of a gun hanging fire, which, were it not i for his well known veracity, I should feel i disposed to doubt, lie had snapped his gun at a grey squirrel, and the cap exploded, but tho piece not going oft', he took it I from his shoulder, looked down the barrel, j and saw the chargc just starting, when. bringing it to liis shoulder onco more, it went off and killed the squirrel;" The gathering of the mistletoe was an important ceremony with the ancient Druid6, accompanied by the people. It took place at the end of the year, and the parasite was distributed to the people on the first da)' of the new year. As it was supposed to possess the mystic virtues of giving fertility and a power to preserve from poison, the pleasant ceremony of "kissing under the mistletoe" may have some refcreucc to this original belief. A retired cheesemonger, who hated any allusion to the business that had enriched liim, said to Charles Lamb, in the course of a discussion on tlic 1'oor Law, "You must bear in mind, Sir, that I have got rid of that sort of stufT which you poets call "tlio. milk of human kindness,'" Lamb looked at liim steadily, and gave acquiescence in j these pithy words: "Yes, 1 am aware of | that?you turned it all into cheese several ! years ago."

''Here," said Jack, j looking unutterable things nt the dandy, i ' here's something that wants you!" Ilomo is emphatically the poor man's paradise. The rich with their many rebources, too often live away from^e hearthstone, iu heart if not in person ; but to the virtuous poor, domestics are the only llgitiir.ate and positive source of happiness short of that holier heaven which is tbe 60ul's home. If any one speaks ill of thee, flee home to thy own conscience, "and examine thy heart; if thou be guilty, it is a just punishment; if not guilty, it i# a fair instruction.
