What must a girl suffer who find herself mi ad to a dxssi pated person, neglectful of her, and disposed to seek the society of un worthy persons, who drink, smoke, ind do all sorts of dreadful things! Thank H a iven, Orlando is perfec tion. To day is my eighteenth birthday, and we have been married a year. We keep house now, and I can m&ke pretty good pie, only the under crust will be damp. However, I think that must be the oven.

De r Orlando! I come back to him again so excellent, , temperate ml true. Tell all the girls to marry -s soon as they can find a husband lik5 mins. I hfiT but one trial business tskes him so much away from me. A lawyer must attend to his business you know ; and sometimes they car ry on the case until two r-t night. Often and often he has examined witnesses until half hast twelve, and comes home perfectly exhausted. And the nr. sty things smoke, so that his dear coat quite smells of it. And it makes him as .ill as it oes me. I have to air it, and sprinkle the lining with Cologne water, before he dares to put it on again. I had a terrible fright the other night -dreadful Orlando had told me that business I think he said it was a case, of life and death would detain him late. Sol sat up, as usual, with a book, and did not wor ry until one o'clock. 1 After that I was a little anxious, I confess, and caught a cold in my head, peeping through the up-stairs window blinds, for, dear aunt, it was not until threa o'clock that I heard a cab driving up the street and saw it stop at bur door; then I thought I should .faint, for I was sure some dreadful accident had happened to Orlando. I ran down to open the door, and Mr. Smith, a friend of Orlando, who is not, I confess ; very much to my tates suchla red-faced, noisy man was just supporting my dear boy up the steps. t " Oh, what has happened?" cried I- t . i.' ' -'Don't be frightened, Mrs. White," said Mr. Smith. "Nothing at all; only "White is a little exhausted. Application to business will exhaust a man. arid I thought I'd bring him home." v 'All right, Bella,'" snid Orlando, "Smith tells the truth I'm, exhaust ed." .:'---X "- ; And, dearest aunt, he wns so much so that he spoke qui thick," and couldn't stand up without tottering. Mr. Smith was kind enough to help him up stairs; and he laid upon the bed so prostrated that I thought he was going to die. Then I remembered the French brandy you gave me in case of sickness. I rati to get it out. "Have a little brandy and water, dear?" I said. ' 'The very thing! Smith is ex hausted, too. Give some to Smith," he s i id. . . I And. so I reproached myself for ! not having thought of it bafor Mr. Smith had gone. But I gave a glass to Orlando, and nrder Providence, I think it saved his life ; for oh, how bad he was! j - "Belli," s id he, quite faltering in his speech, "the room is going round so fast tliM t l ean t catch your eye. And besides, there's two of you, and I don t know which is which." I knew these things were dreadful symptoms, r j lake m drink dear, said I, and I'll try to wake Up Mary and send her for the doctor.' i- VNo," said he, ''111 be all right in the morning. I'm all right now. Here's your j health, you're a brick. I" Aad ho fell over, fast asleep. Oh, why do men think so much of money-making ? Is not health better than any tiling else? ( Of course as he had laid down in his hat, I took that, off first And I managed to divest j him of his coat But when it c&meto his boots dear aunt, did you ever j take off a gentle man's boots Prolxibly not as you are a singlolady what a tackle How do they ever get 'em on T I pulled and pulled, and shook and wiiggled, and gave it up. But it would not do to leave them on all night; so I wrnt at it again, and at last one come off so suddenly ; and over I went on the floor, and into his) hat which I had put down there for a minute. I could have cried, j ' And the. other came off in the .same way, just as suddei ly at last Then I put a soft blanket over Orlando, and sat in my sewing chair ?11 .night . Oh, how heavily he breathed And I had as you may fancy, the most dreadful fears. He migth have killed himself by his own over-application to busi- go Oh, how differently should I have felt had anything happened ; to,, my beloved Orlando, r He has not had so exhunsting a day since, and I think he 8ees the foUy of overwork ; though if ! o I .1 L i.vl Zl 7 can poor lawyer d6!

For instance, as soon a it known in his phic that he in dead, a man enters the room where his body l:es and raps on Ids head thrcv time with a silver mallet, culling his iiAne three times; then, bav in r waited fr tlie rply. which he knew beforehand would not come, he aninurices formally that the Pope U dead, as; if the rap ping on his skull were the final proof. Then the great bell of he Capitol. is ttdh d, and everybody knows l.y that what lias taken pine : then there is a funeral of nine days, in wliich time the city wnw given over to noise and disorder, as if it was without any one to govern it. Meanwhile, watched day and night by a guard, he lips on a tfumptruis bier, with taper blazing arouii i him ; and crowds of people come, and kiss the toe of his slipper, and look at him in his splendid robes, and at last he is laid away in the vault, and the cardinals begin the strug g!e for a successor The choice is always from their own mi nber ; consequently every rue usr ires to the othce ; and deep is: the schem i ng as soon as there is a probability that it will be come vacant. Each is entitled one vte, anil his right cannot be takvn from him. Even if he is a criminal, lie niav be taken from prison to vote. The Ppe must lie an Italian by birth; no man from an v other nation has occu pied the place for nearly three liui dred and titty years. A.t the verembny inaugurating a iic'v Pope, one of the custoiiH is to put a bunch of tow on the end of a ttati vitd burn it just ; before his eyes, and w hile it is swiftly blazing and vanishing, the voiie of the o.hYia! who li!d it so'e i n ly sa vs to hint: 'St. Pet r, stc transit qloria muiuii" to remind him that all things are vain and perishable. It used to' be .necessary that the horse ridden by the Pope on state occasions should be gray; and when he mounted it must be from a stuol with three ster and if any royal person were pre sent, he tdioti'd hold the stirrup, and wulklbeside the horse, lead- mg IllIU. m The first Who dared tO Set him self above Sovereign?, was Leo III., who was a friend to Charle- rnagne; and at some grand festi val where the French nobility and Uoman clergy were present in all their glory, Leo cum e forward, and to the surprise of every one, placed magnificent crown on the head of that prince and an ointed htm. After this, the Popes took pvrt in politics, made wars and trea ties, f rbade namagee,nd ex emnniuiiicatiHl whoever displeas ed them. They meddled in the aftai rsr ot nea rly every con rt i riEn ropc, and made themselves a ter ror. The excommunication of a sovereign was felt to be a most dreadful 'calamity, and no won der; for while he was in this state, the chruch IhjIIs were not rung, sacrament was not admin istered, alters and pictures were covered with black cloth, statues f saints were taken down and laid on U-ds of cinders and ashes and there was a general apjKiar a lice of desolation and mourn ing."" .

Sonietimea the Pojhj granted what was called a "dispensation if the offender would build a ehurch, or pity a heavy fine; and i n - tl lis way a vast am u tit of walth was gained by this poten tate.

A titer giving the police and newspaper reporters much trouble, the amateur mur derer regains sobriety, declares bis innocence, and is discharged. This joke is-ghastly, but on sever al occasions it was successfully r ct c ", IthoiU'hthelastattempt at'it will pniably cuise it t be abandon' d. A girl, named Har riet Buswell, was recently niur- i' lered in Gntnt Coram street, and there was much excitement over it,' and an unsuceesiful search for the murderer, until a Mr. George Cooper, presented hi nise,lf at a station, declared that (ie had done the deed for a friend of his in consideration of ?i500.i He was kept in jail over nitrht an 1 next morningarraigned at Bow street whereupon he alinly announced that his whole storv was a false- h(Kd, his only excuse' fr telling it having hectr that he h:id been drinking whiskey and old al for a week ami had a touelii'of deliriu'ii tremens."

So the crestfallen joker was taken back to jail, and the pqular but ghastly diversion has received a merited rebuke. ' - The JJodoc lara Ded. Jesse Applegate, writing to the Portland, (Oregon) Bullflin, gives the following description of the lava . bed hi which the hostile Modoc Indian? are now iutreiuh- ed:i ' , - ! ; j The stronghold of the Mo loc Indians is a ped regal " of the most extensive and elaborate de scriptiouau irregular volcanic surface of basalt, trachyte, &c. more or less broken into upheav als from lelow, and cracked aud figured in the j.rocess of cooling.

' Braia Work. One thing I would like to im press lipon thoso who are excep tionally excitable. The very slightest stimulants, which others may use with immunity, are bail , for tbem.i I have known cases of cho.ii neunlgia, from Which torture had been endure j tV.rveaM curd by ceasemg to drink tea and coffee regularly, or by leav ing off smoking, 'f he nerves are" such leliciteatlairsthatU of ten make; us a greatdea( of trou- I ble with very little cuise, seem ingly. Excessive brain work ren tiers them much more suscepti ble. This suceptibi lit must i)e couir eraeted by the" avoidance of thosojthitigs which tend to excite. What a steadv raiu worker wants. to replace (not stimulate) his JVW; tality as fast as he uses it up. yiTj this end ie wants everytiug, that is nourishing ami sKthing. A stimulant crowils out so ue p irt of the requ s e iiourishiiie it, sin?o tie system can only receive n cer tain ortioii of mutter into it at a. tiine and appronri.ite it h inn nix ly. If you set it & work a stimulant, or set a stiuuUut to work oh it, tlie action i iimtu.iU tt will not asVunihvte fully th-i' nourishment which may ;o:uv immediately afi;ervanl. j All the diseases to which we are coiHtitudo mlly liable are ag gravated by tlie us ot stitipiUnts. They assist the development of chronic complaints, and in ik j ; all sickness h irder to cure. It is t not necessary to speak of their bad effects on ailm uits of the bruin. But most of these, I be- lieve, are to be trace-1 origin tlly to their use. A healthy brain naturally eks relief in sleep when it is tirel. B it one that i spurred a ol- driven tin by stiiuu- lants I jscri tliat iiichiiutiou. Fro n the inability to rent springs the whole! train of ncrvou i and cere brat diseases.
