Bat he left the village behind him, and got out into the sunny country beyond, where he met no one to twit him with his ugliness, and the pain of his poor little smart ing heart was lulled. It was a glo rious day in June. The trees were out in full leaf, but the leaves had not yet lost their fresh, May green. The meadows and the patches of turf between the ditches and the road were tuffed with white, red, and yellow clover-heads. The lit tle boy picked handfuls of honey- sukle blossoms and sucked the sweet bugles as he walked. Larks sang overhead, golden-banded wild bees went booming about, lilac-colored butterflies fluttered hither and thith er, the bells ot a distant church were chiming merrily; in a meadow down below too tar off for him to fear teasing from them haymakers were singing and laughing. 'In this beautiful, happy world,' thought the little boy, how is it that I am so ugly and sad ?' He toiled up to the holy well. The blackfaced sheep that had been drinking its clear water and crop ping its lush grass scampered off ; and kneeling down he curved his hand into a cup and dipped into the well. Thrice, according to old custom, he drank of the holy water; thrice he sprinkled it over his head; but he became no stronger, no hand somer. It only tells me what I knew be fore,' said the little boy, a he sat looking into the liquid mirror. 'Everything is beautiful except me,' he murmnred. 4 No, there's an ugly thing,' he added, 4 as humpbacked as I am. What is it ? It looks like a bit of dry stick, and yet it seems to be alive. It's moving.' As he spoke the humpbacked bit of stick cracked, and there came forth a beautiful butterfly, which soon spread its wings of orange tipped white and flew off to a haw thorn bush hard by. he little roses all blessed the hunch back. , , . Another lonely girl, whose face had once been a pure little rose, but had been sadly blighted, he had found wandering reckless in the same great city ; but he had lured her back to her quiet country home; and once more father and mother, sisters and brotheis, blessed the hunchback. One of the most cruel of his vil lage tormentors, grown up like him self, was almost ruined would be completely ruined if he had to pay immediately a sum of racnev-'he owed the hunchback. Ask him to have mercy on you, and give you a little grace,' said the man's wile. It's of no use,' the man answered, moodily ; I never had any mercy on him, and, of course, he'll take it out of me now.' 'Then I'll go and ask aim,' cried the wife ; and when she had told him of his old tormentors troubles, the hunchback freely forgave him all. The man professed to bo very grateful, but afterward he spread a report that the hunchback had only given up his claim because he knew that he had, been a cheat in pre- learn to deny himself. It is odd to see the tricks and deceptions we play upon ourselves. We judgo of our needs by our habits. 4 We used to pay so much for our dinner;' 4we used to go to such a place for our summer vacation;' whether we need such a dinner, or to go to such a hotel, does not occur to us. The great virtue of economy, we may remark, is to economize to-day and not to-morrow, tor in the future vir tue looks attractive, and then it has none of those nrosaic difficulties which beset it just now. It makes not the least difference about the triviality of the economy. Truth and wisdom are qualities which en noble any action they may touch, however sordid and ommon these actions may seem to our prejudiced and uneducated eyes. Men and Women. The Financial Flurry in New York. The Evcn'iHg Post of Monday, re fering to the excitement on that day in the New York gold and stock market, says : For a week past the Wall street The question, which is the more inter esting creature, man or woman t is one ihat in the present paucity ol the sexes there being but two it is impossible to sett e.

In almost every farm-house and cottage there were some per sons down with it. Almost all not smitten with it had fled in their selfish terror. There was no one left to bury the dead. Scarcely any one was left to comfort the dying, and to cherish and rescue such of the sick as might be saved, except the hunchback. Ugly as he was, he went from house to house, like a sunbeam, the only ray of hope to the poor creatures with whom he sat up uight and day. But his turn came to be stricken down. His eyes were scaled, his limbs frozen ; and then his face was transfigured, and the hump expand ed into snowy wings, on which he fled away to rest. The secret was out. 'We always said he was an angel, and that his wings were packed away in the hump,' exclaim ed the sufferers who watched his flight. But when his eyes opened, he saw again the orange-tip butter fly and the hawthorn bush. He was again a little feeble, ugly boy, lying on the warm grass beside the holy well. Somehow, however, as he walked down through the heather, think ing over his strange experiences, he felt that his pilgrimage to the well had not been made in vain. of $6,000,0 0 gold and the purchase of $1,000,000 5-20 bonds, the pro gramme evidently having been framed to put down gold, which has been creeping up for ten davs past. The effect was just the opposite to the Treasury calculations. Gold elosed Saturday at 117.

Boys nearly hate girls, and the feeling is returned; old men care no thing for women of any age, except as nurses; o d wo r.ci creep together. It is only during the central portion of life that the sexes can be sa'd to be civil to one another. In fact. If na u e bad not forced men and women to love each other daring that portion willy-nilly, and giv en them that incredible and perplexing bribe of children, it is donbtful whether they would have any mutual liking. Love is all thit exists between them. The score of their f elings of understan ding, of sympathy, of appreciative res pect, or rati nal emulation which men have lor men and women for women, neither sex has for the other. It is as tonishing, considering wl at a complete, intricate, lo.ig ass ciation the bringing up a family tics a couple to, that they do not !econie more really in'.imate than they do even in the bet cise. Doubt may well be felt that there are few hus bands and wives wlo, in spite of all the trials they have shared, have not at the bottom oi their hearts a sense of griev ance one hgiinst the other.

The poor gleaner ot his bread from the sterile Scottish glebe might be par doned that weakness and despair if anybody could. It was the appa rent hopelessness ot making head way against his cruel fortune which made Burns affect to despise the painstaking thrift of his neighbors, not a sense that it was mean and nferior. He must have admired their stern courage, their heroic poverty. His shiftlessness was not due to the possession of genius, but his self-indulgence and irresolution. We, who have mileler difficulties and more lenient fortunes, arc with out the excuse of his unhappy cir cumstances, and must not make the mistake of attributing that to his greater qualities which is really due to those human weaknesses which he shared in common with his kind. The truth is that economy is al ways a necessary and noble quality, and otten a heroic one. It is espe cially fine in those men who care little for money in itself. Thrilt may become a passion just as self indulgence may become a passion ; it is the duty of reason to curb and regulate both. The man who has once began to save soon finds it a greater pleasure to add fifty dollars to his little pile than to spend the sum upon a tailor or a caterer. As soon as he begins to confuse the means with the ends, reason snonta demonstrate that the present has its demands as surely as the future has its exigencies. So, when long ha bits of self-pampering have tatigh one to think that he must have everything he wants, it ' is good to A says : The great flurrv in the stock and money market in New York has been the occasion ot much attention at the Treasury, and the Sccreary lias been in the receipt of numer ous telegrams en the subject. It is said in some ejuarters that this dis turbance is the result of an organ ized attempt on the part ot some of the Wall street operators tt destroy confidence at the outset in the ad ministration ot the new secretary. Secretary Kichardson appears, how ever, to be perfectly serene, and in timates that these attempts, from whatever source they emanate, or from whatever cause, will not have the effect to induce any alteration in his programme. It was said in high financial circles that it would not be a surprise if gold went be yond twenty before the upward movement is arrested. The Baltimore Sun remarks : The situation is full ot anomalies, and sets calculation at naught. low the market was got into this fix is subject to a half dozen difler ent explanations. There is one tact, however, not to be lost sight ot. The specie shipments from 1st of January to date amount to $13,511,- 412, against $5,213,197 last year, and 13,389,021 in 1871.
