LILY WHITING.
The great, splendid mansion that T called
my borne seemed strangely silent, nnd
even gloomy, as I sat my solitary breaktat
table. No merry voices or pattering feet
of children had ever resound through its
halls. Latterly, during my husband's long i
illness and uiy widowhood, we had kept no
company; and now I lived there alone
with only such Eervants as sufficed for my
household.
Just as I finished my meal tho post-bag
was brought in. There wa< one letter nes
ling amidst the more voluminous packages.
I carelessly broke tho seal and drew the
enclosure from ihe envelope. The letter
was from Richard Wliitinjj, my old lover.
written on bis death-bed, and implored me
to take charge of his only daughter, Lily?
tmrned, he said in memory of me. 1 at
once set out to go to Richard, and two hours
before sunset I arrived at the -^uptry ing
whither I was.,bom. ^
It was a quiet, homely' f?lace, with no
charm but that of an exquisite fragrant
neatness. My landlady, of whom I at once
made inquiries,1^informed me that Richard
wt.:>: i._?i i .i- 1 e .i_
b ii lining imu uivu uciicmu ucr iuui um pre*
vious day, and that even u?w his daughter
Lily watched beside his remains in an upper
chamber. It was pleasant to hear how
tenjlerly the good woman spoke of the dead
mflti and the lonely orphan. With equal
kindnes^febe pressed upo'n me the viands
I could scarceVj? taste, and then led the way
to the room where Lily watched beside
her dead father.
Lily was small, a very child in size, but
with a womanly sweetness and-.gravlty resting
upon Ifer fah- face. * Instinctively I
clasped her in my aims, and laid her head
close to my long desolate heart. And there
beside the dead man, whose life I had "blighted,
I silently vowed to be a mother to bis
orphan child.
The following day we committed the
mortal remains of Richard Whiting, to the
earth. Lily and I were tbeonly lfiourners
for the father was a stranger in G., overtaken
there by the messenger -that comes
once to all. A few days afterward I returned
to my home, accompanied by Lily,
my adopted child. ,
Richard Whiting had been a distant relative
of. mine, and Lily was introduced into
my. hou^e-hold as a young orphan couA1

my request, to call mo 'mamma,' it was an
easy transition, and caused no surprise. (
I was no longer lonely. The splendor
of my homo was no longer irksoige when
ibat light form moved through the lofty
rooms or glided over the lawn -and down
the garden walks, or'sat opposite me at the
bo>*rd.
Lily was sixteen when she came to me,
and I hoped that I should lone retain mv
daughter to be the light and joy of my
bpme. But do sooner had she entered sociaiy
than idle was besieged by suitors?

her prospective fortune as my beiross-others.

Clarence wa^m/ frequent tfuffo'r, an J11
pleased myself with the hope that a mutual
attraction between him and my child
might lend to results that would reconcile
all my doubts, and leatfc the estate undivided.
Hut so fnr as I could determine, of
all her acquaintances, Lilv liked Clarence
least; while he was sufficiently in love to
meet my fondest hopes. But I felt myself
doomed to disappointment as time wore on
and it heenmo plain that Lily avoided Clarence
as much as her gentle nature would
permit. At length Clarence came lo me
one morning to announce his intended de
parturo for Europe, aud I found that Lily'
coldness was driving hiui from his home
lie went sadly away to hide his love, and to
Etiive in other scenes to overcome it.
After Clarence's depmture I becamo
greatly interested in the foreign and shipping
newp, and one morning, as wo 6at at
breakfast, I handed the paper to Lily that
she miglit read aloud, as was her custom,
this portion of its contents. While she prepared
to do so, I hastily glanced over a
business letter that lay before me, and had
just concluded its perusal, when a pierci: g
shriek from Lily alarmed me, nnd ere I
could spring to licrside; she fell insensible
to the floor.
We raised her up and Lore her lo her
room,and as soon as returning consoiousnces
was certain, I sent for the paper which I
was sure had produced this swoon. ?
1 wa? right in my conjecture, for on the
page thai Lily had prepared to read tame,
was the account of the disappearance and
probable loss of the steamship which
Clareuee bad taken passage.
An intuitive assurance?one of these inexplicable
impressions that sometimes assume
the place of demonstrated certainties, [
although we can give reason for them? j
made me able to rejoice over llie tidings j
that had caused this betrayal of Lily's well
guarded secret. I knew that Clarence was
living, and my very soul was glad at the
thought th.\t Lily's love would yet make
bini happy, and enable uie to carry out my j
long cherished plans.
But this swoon was btit the commencomeut
of a long illnes6, and Lily lay many
in HurL'fjnn/1 Jaa
even to be permitted to bear tlie tidings
brought by the next mail, of Clntence'?
safety. Bui she did not die ; and ere tbe
mild days 6f tbe fo'lowing spring bad
tempted our pretty invalid forth to the open
nir and fresh breezes of lieaven, he bad returned
to us. Long ere this Lil^ bad heard
of his safety, and I, who knew the cherished
secret of each heart, w.atched their meeting
and knew that it was to be followed by no
parting, - .

The characteristic peculiarity of the "Pilgriros's
Progress" is, that it is the only
work of ill kind (allegorical) which possesses
a 3lrong human interest. Other allegories
only amuse the fancy. Tho allegory
of Hunynn has been read by many
thousands with tears. * * * One uupardonable
fault, the fault of tediousncss
pervades tlio whole of 'Fairy Queen.' It
is not so with the 'Pilgrim's Pi ogress.
That wonderful book while it obtains admiration
from tho most fastidious critics, is
loved by those who are too simple to admire
it. In the wildest parts of Scotland,

highest miracle of genius, that thing*

A JOURNEY UNDER PABI8.
A correspondent of a Swedish journal
furnishes us an interesting account of a
subterranean voyage made through one of
the admirably constructed sewers of Paris.
The boat which conveyed the party was
reached by descending a flight of steps to
me aepiu oi qboui torty-tive te?t. The
boat a flat-bottomed affair, was lighted by J
four lamps. The sewer is an archway, fifteen
feet high, and equal breadth, with a
ditch or canal about ten feet wide, wherehr
% 1
all the dirt and filth of Paris is carried away.
Od the sijjes are Bidewalks,- which,
together, are about four feet wide. The
whole is built of white sandstone, and is
kept remarkably neat aud clean. No stench
or bad smell was perceptible. Tbe denser
portion of ih&'tfUh is carried away through
large drains beneath the sidewalks. The
sidewalks are excellent and exhibited no
signs of dampness, while the walls of the
mrchway are kept white washed, and are,
at all times as white as the driven snow.
The structure possess tbe properties of an
immense speaking tube'e tho workmen being
able to-converse at the distance of two
miles from each- other. The echo is very
lasting Hud strong- The fabric is said to
be built after a mode of the catacombs of
Rome aided by all the latest improvements.
On both sides, nt about two hundred yards
distanccfrom one another, are openings
through which the workmen can ascend by
means of permanent iron ladders, in case a
sudden ram-storm should cause'tbo water
to riee over tbe 'sidewalks, which is, bowever,
of^ r^re occurrence.
The contents of the sewer, flow into tbe
river Seine, and tbe current is sufficient to
carry the boats' used, along with considerable
velocity. Larger reservoirs are constructed
at intervals, into whioh t^e water
oap beMurued for a short time; in case it
should be neqessary to have the canal dry
for a little while. The whole was complex
ted in two years. Besides the main can hT,
there are tunny minor ones constructed under
the principal streets, all of which can
i>e' made to communicate with -otie nnother.
These admirable under ground'
work?are accessible ftopo the Louvre^ the
Tuiliriesend from 4h? barrack* and should

0u this point, Mr. Srpwe, a Celebrated
Glasgow teachcr, uses tbo following language
:
The youth of both sexes of the Scottish
peastry have been educated together, and,
as a whole, tho Scotch ure the most moral
people on earth. Education in England is
given separatoly, and we never heard from
practical men that any benefit has nrisen
from this arrangement. >ome influential
individuals thero mourn over tho prejudice
on tlifc point. Iu Dublin, a larger number
of girls turned out badly who had been
euucaicu aiouo uniil lUey attained the age
of maturity, than those who were otherwise
brought up?the separation of the
sexes has been found injurious. It is stated
nu thu bust authority, that of those girls
educated in the schools of con*;ants, apart
from boys,, the.majoiity go wrong within a

Tub Secret of "Good Li:ck."?There
are men who, supposing Providence to
havo an implacable spite against them, bemoan
in the poverty.of a wretched old ago
the mibiortunes of their lives. Luck forever
ran against tliera, for others. One,
with aeood profession, lost his luck in tho
river, where be idled away his time a fishing,
when ho should have been in the office.
Another, with a gooil trade, perpetually last
his luck by his hot temper* which provoked
all his employers to leave him. Another,
with a lucrative business, lost bis luck
by amazing diligence at everj'thing but
his business. Another, who steadily followed
his trade, as steadily followed his
bottle. Another, who was honest and couct.mf

Hundreds loso their luck by indcsing; by
sanguine speculations; by trusting fraudulent
men; and by dishonest gains. A.
man never has good luck who has a bad
grife. We never krew an earl)'-rising, hard*

jjood wife, who had bad luck?or, least,
we never heard such a man eomnlnin r>P
bad luck. This is the secret of tho whole

Female Society.?Without fetnnlo society
we should dcgenerato into brutes.?
This observation applies ^with tenfold force
to young men, and those* who are in tho
prime of manhood. For, after a certain
time of life the literary man makes a shift
(a poor one, we grant) to do without tho
society of ladies. To a young man, nothing
is so important a? a spirit of devotion (next
to his Ureal or) to some amiable yroman,
whose image may occupy his heart; guard
it from pollution, which besets it on alj
sides. A man ought, to choose a wife as
Mrs. Primroso did her wedding gown, for
qualities that 'wear well.' One thing at
'.least is, Iruo, that if .inatrimouy has its cares,
celibacy lias no pleasure. . A Newton, or a
mere 6cholar,may find enjoyment in study;
a man of liternrv lasteean in KnnL-o

a powerful auxiliary ; but a man must
have a bqjom friend, and children around
him, to cherish and support the dreariness
of old age.

THE ART OF TEACHING.
Dr. Jno. A. Hart, of Philadelphia, a
practical teacher, and long connected with
educational matters, has delivered a lecture,
in the course of which ho involved one
grand fundamental fact in the art of teaching
which ought to bo fixed in the minds
of all who undertake the education of
youth. This fact is the absolute necessity
of ftrresting and holdingattention. Unless
the attention of the child, or of the persons
to be tnugbt, is secured, little will be
learned. Every teacher of youth knows
how difficult it is to gain the attention of
his or her class, but it is not every teacher
who knows how to interest the minds of
tlm ?..rv;u ?n,i
iiav |'V?|'II^ OHU n HI liicil n LLl*UI IUU . 1UU
mere commanding of attention ennnot
produce the desired t fleet; hence a boisterous
dxercise of authority, or the resort to
tfiflerent forms of punishment, of a degrading
or painful enactor, are dot only inefficient
but harmful.
The mind of the child ns well as the
adult naturally resists comptflSon. Coercion
is the very worst plan in education.?
The forcing or 'stuffing system may appear
to yield a temporary success, but it is calculated
to destroy the' powef* of atlentionf
and a permanent injury to the mind is the
result. The giving of long 'lacks' to children,
or multiplying their studies to create
the.impression that tbey are making rapid ' -t%
progress is an error quite too common in
our schools. Even the practice of eti&u#
latiog children in Sunday schools, by offer
of reward?, to learn weekly a great many
verses ot Scripture or hymns, is not to be
commended. Better give the rewards for
learning a little well?for dtbhition 'to
what tfyey are taught.
It ought to be the first and chief aim of
every teacher, whether of children or
adults, to developo the thinking or reaaobing
powers. The acquisition of knowledge
should be-a pleasant exercise. The mind
should betangM to seek after inf^nigtion
