When Annie and 1 were married we took Gertrude to live with us; I could not bear the thought of the lovely girl going t "icet the world in some menial oecupa .., and Annie waa thankful to have her ,ter with her. (iertrudc "Trude" wc alwavn ealled the dear child paid her way, I uanure you. After the birth of Baby (trace ahe took the entire management of the household upon her j'nuiij,' slioulilrrs, and though we never ki'pt a arrvaut my wife aearccly knew what it was to have a care ill the world. So we went on fur a couple of years u happy an birds in a nest, unking much of tbe bleKiiiji9 we had, thinking little or nothing of our privatum. A Lis, 1 never dreamed that the first rc vcr.M! would come to us through me. Yet, was I to be blamed '! Kvor at hanl work, one particularly hot summer I had double duty to perform at the hank, and I ovrrU-kcd uiy ability. 1 remember falliuu with a dull crash bctieath my desk one day, and it was weeks ere I waa conscious that 1 lay at home in my own btd, carefully tended by Auuie and Trude. 1 had been stricken down with brain fever, and the doctor had said the strug gle back to health and strength would be long timl aerious, for my system was wholly debiliated by overwork. After about six weeks, and I had been declared out of danger, I awoke oue evcu ing, alter taking a long nap, to find the room deep in twilight and very silent. 1 lay some time in a drowsy state, when suddenly I was aroused by the unmis takable Bound of a sob by me, followed by tbe low, earnest voice of Trude. "Don't cry, Annie, dear," &bo said, aovthiugly, "you'll wake him. "Oh, but, Trude, what ara we to do?" faltered my wife." "We shall pull through all right, dear, never fear !" was the brave reply. "Hut every cent of the money is gone ! There's a month's rent due, unJ no end of little outstanding bills. Ilesides, the doctor won't be coming much longer, and then, of course, there'll be his bill !" Heaven help me! her words almost killed me! But even then little Trude waa equal to the oocaaiou. "We must make some money, Annie," he neiil fiynly. "How t" iu despair. "It is the height of the blackberry sea son, and the fruit ia unusually line. I shall gu out at ft o'clock to-morrow aiorn ing, pick several quarts, and sell every one of them at the hotels before msiii. I shall do the same as long as the berries last; you will then see whether we can make a little money or not !" 1 could have arisen and falleu at her feet in worship of her heroism; but poor Annie took life more seriously; she seemed proof against Trade's hopefulness. "Oh, that could never succeed," she sighed. "Well, I'm going to try, anyway I" waa the undaunted rejoinder. After a abort pause Auuie said, sud denly: "Trude, we are in a desperate strait; why couldn't you write to Gerald Dayton and ask him to lenu us some money ?" "Annie !" "Well, he was iu love with you belore mother died; he is very rich, eud I'm pos itive you would have been his wife to-day if you had let him ask you; so why " "Oh, hush I hush I" Gertrude cried, "Not a word more of that I Let me have my own way. Believe me, I shall suc ceed." About 10 o'clock on the following morning Annie came to me, all dressed up in her beat, aud, iu a nervous way, asked me if I could sparo her for a couple of hours to go into the village with Trude. I knew in an instant the blackberries had beei picked and that the dear girla wero goiug together to try their for tune. Rather than distress Anuie by letting her know thai I had overheard their con- TCTMtlon of the preceding evening, I as- ' 'r' kM , perfectly cemforta- As they went down the gardcu path I crept to the window and looked after them. Through the scalding tears that gath ered before my eyes like film I saw Trudo with a large basket upon each arm, while my poor little wife followed her with the baby in her arms. God only knows what I suffered during those two hours. 1 had fallen into a light sleep from sheer misery and exhaustion when I was awakened by the entrance of Annie. Hit face was us radiant as an angel's. She put the baby down beside me and kissed me as though she had not seen Ule for ten years. f i "Ob, what do you thin?,, die cried. 'Who do you suppose is ft 'ieic parlor with Trudo?'' 1 made a very shrewd guess. "Gerald Dayton, I said. "Yes!" exclaimed Annie, Trude went to town to sell some blackberries, and at the very first hotel we came to, who should see her but Mr. Dayton. Uu took her to task then and there for uut letting hiiu kiow where she hud gone to after mother deid, and I'm sure before he leaves this house he'll ask her to marry him !" Scarcely were the words out of her nuuth when dear little Trude entered the room, looking like a blush rose iu full bloom, and followed by .Mr. Gerald Day ton. 1 hiid even tbe young gentleman two years before, wheu I was courting my Annie, and, though I knew him to be a decided "swell," I always thought lliui an exceedingly fine fellow. After the first salutations were over Trude said to me : , "Mr. Hay ton doubts my assertion that I sent him my address when wc moved out here. Don't you remember that win ter morning that I gave you a note for hiiu ?" I was obliged to confess that I did Hot rcuiciuljcr the occurrence. "Ah, you little traitor!" laughed Ger ald Dayton. Ill the meantime my wife had gone to the eoset, brought out my winter overcoat, and produced from oue of its pockets a yellow, crumpled note addressed to Mr. G. layton. Oh, how they laughed a' me theii, and Gerald said : "Now you must atone for your shame ful neglect, sir, by giving me your sister-in-law as my wife. And, us exchange ii no rubbery, I will give you this house and land, being both mine, together with all the rents you liave paid for it in the two years you have been here. Come, what do you .-ay?" 'It is for Trude to say," I answered, taking her little berry-stained bauds iu mine. She laughed just as a bird trills, and said, with a sly blush : "I'm sure I'm agreeable, and should have been two years ugo, if you bad bad asked me !" hi a fortnight I was a well man mid back at the bank. KISS MOTIIKIt, A father talking to his cureless daugh ter, said : "I want to speak to you of your mother. It may be that you have no ticed; a careworn look upon her face lately. Of course it has not been brought there by any act of yours, still it is your duty to chase it away. I want you to get up to morrow morning uud get breakfast, and wheu your mother begins to express her surprise, go right up and kiss her on the mouth. You can't imagine how it will brighten up her dear face. Besides, you owe her a kiss or two. Away back when you were little, she kissed you; when no one else was tempted by your swollen face. You were not so attractive then as now. And though these childish years of sun shine had shadows, she was always ready to cure by the magic of a mother's kiss the little dirty, chubby hands, whenever they were injured in their first skirmishes with this rough, cold world. And when the midnight kisses with which she routed so many bad dreams as she leaned over your restless pillow, have all been on in terest these long years. Of course she is not so pretty and kissible us you arc, but if you had done your share of the work during the past years, the coutrast would not be so marked. Het face has more wrinkles than yours far mow and yet if you were tick that fact) would apicar more bautiful than any angel, us it hov ered over you, watching every opportunity to minister to your comfort ; and (very one of those wrinkles would ap(car as bright as wavelets if sunshine chasing eueh oth'T over her dear fioc. She will leave you one of these days. These burdens, if nut lifted from her shoulders, will break her down. These hands that did so many unnecessary things for you will be crossed upon her lifeless breast. Those neglected lips that gave you your baby kiss, will be closed forever, and those tired eyes will have opened ill eternity, end then you will appreciate your mother; but it will be too late."

IPUilailelihla l'roeress.l Kverybody used to believe that there was an army of men raging over the world seeking for rich women whom it was their purpose to ask in marriage. No matter how ugly the girl, no matter what her disposition, no matter many things else, if she only hud wealth her life was sure to be pestered nearly out of her by suitors for her hand and fortune. All literature has made us familiar with this class of n. Hut it would seem that they do uot truly exist; that they are mere crea tions of the imagination. It would seem thut there are many nice girls sighing for husbauds who cannot get them, and for the oue reason that they are rich. This I learn from a paragrupher in a Cincinnati paper. Aud this is how he gives tbe an ecdote: "No doubt it takes pluck for a man of modest ortuue to ask a rich wo man to marry him, and not doubt rich women often go unmarried lor want of tho asking." The writer once asked oue of llostoii's loveliest women, something past her first youth, rich, or excellent family, and an altogether charming ta'ason : "Miss L 1 why have you never married?" "I am tempted to tell you the truth," she replied, with a vivid blush, "nobody has ever asked me. I am rich and well born, and my own mistress. A man could offer me very little I have not, ex cept his love, and I fancy most men don't appreciate that trifle at its full value. At least they don't know-how should they ? how much a true man s love is to a lone woman.'' Gentlemen, can such things be ? Tin: XKANSOKKSSOK'S WAV IS II Altl). My son, you say it is "so hard to lie good?" Yon say it is easier to break the ten commandments than it is to keep one of them. Well, you mistake. It isn't bard to be gisid. It's hard to be bad ! Ah, yes, my boy, it's hard to be bad. Not right at the time? oh, no! The wine is sparkling, the songs are stirring, the stor ies are brimming with humor and the air is full of laughter. You arc just as bad us you know how to be, and its lots oi fun to bo bad, and you never want to be good oh, yes, it seems to be very easy and very delightful to be bad at night. Hut the next morning, my boyl Where is the difficulty then ? Who feels serious in the morning? Whose bead can't be cov ered with a tub? Who is afraid and ashamed to go on the street and meet people ? Who doesn't want to see any body ? Who wools to hide? Who won ders where he was lust night, and whom he met, and who saw him, and what be said, and where ha went, and how he did? Not the hoy who went to the sociable and ate cast iron hiuiu1 cake uud washed it down with tuded lemonade. Not the young man who pusses the evening in the company of the goody-gissly at the debating society. Ah, no. Ho didn't hear the rollicking songs that you heard, my boy, and he didn't hear the racy stor ies that "broke you all up." Hut he is feeling much Utter than you are this moruimr. He finds it easy to be "good;'' very easy indeed. Hut to lie bad, to have the headache, to have a sour, rebellious stouiuch, to have uncertain eyes, to have a treacherous memory, to have a sense of shame, to have a dread uf sunshine and a horror of daylight, to have a set of quivering nerves and a tultering speech, to have a raglug thirst that water cannot appease and a gnawing hunger that loathes food, to have a dread of meeting your mother my boy, and a fear of seeing your sister, nnd a shame of speaking to your good old father this is hard, my son. This is being "bard." And lisik me iu the eye, Telenuuhus, look ine in the eye honestly now, honor bright, do you think this is easier tbau being "good ?" My dear buy. you may call your "good" friend a milk-sop and a "mamiuy boy," if you will, and you may in your better mo ments sometimes say you would like to be "good," but it is hard, but juat weigh the "gi ud" and "bad," weigh them honestly, and tell inc. tell me hoiiesily, which is the harder to be "good"' or to be "bad?" Ah, my boy, it is easier to be "gisid." "The way of the trssgrossor is hard." Itmtltttr in Hrmtktyn t'mjif. MAKE THE HK.NTOK THING. We excuse a man for occasional de pressions, jiwt as we endure three hundred and sixty-five days of cold dritzlc? Yes, there are men who are, without cessation, sombre and charged with evil prognosti cation. We may ho bom with a melan choly ttmpcniiufut, but there is no reason why we should yield to it. Despondency is the most uncomfortable feeling a man call have. Oue good laugh is a bomb shell exploded iu the right place, while spleen and discontent is n gun that kicks uver the uian that shoots uff. Some must have to get into heaven backward. Let us stand off from our despondencies. Listen to sweet notes and disionls In a world where Ggd has. put exquisite luige upon the shell washed iu ibe surf, and planted a paradise ofblooiuiu the child's cheek, let us leave it to owl to hoot uud tho toad to croak, -Mid the fault finder to complain. Take out door exer cise and avoid late suppers ( you would have a cheerful disnosit ion. The habit of complaints finally drops inU pcerisbness, und people become w aspish aud uuap- proachable, SWEET WOMAN'S MOUTH. Wide open mouths have come into fashion fur women. This is a change from the prevailing style of the past. Tbe proper mouth now is worn in a constant but mild smile, the comers drawn back horizontally with the lips left closed. The expression is one of amiable, quiet satis faction with all the world as though the mind was free from sorrow and the feet free from corns. Care should be taken not to broaden this into an active grin, except on mirthful occasions; nor should the lips be compressed. All should be iu repose. The lips may he reddened, if the natural color be ton light. A practice of painting the exposed membrane of the upper lip broad and bright just ut the centre has crept in, but it is bud, fur it gives au ar tificial and sensuous look. The fashiona ble belle has cut the puckering string of her mouth, and no longer murmurs "prunes, prunes, prunes." She can kiss two men simultaneously and give good satisfaction, where before only one could find room at a time. The rcuder who supposes that the above is fanciful aud not plain, straightforward fashion news, is very much mistaken. Woman can change the style of their faces, if not ot will, ut least considerably. The huir over tbe forehead can be so arranged as to produce any desired outline fur the upper part of the face; the mouth can be made to widely vary its expression, the eyes can be kept partly wide open or languidly half-closed; tbe cheeks can he rouuded by using "pluuqiers," tbe eyebrows can be arched or straightened; the color call be con trolled to a high degree. Thus it is ap parent that woman can, if clever, have to some extent the kind of face she wants. The nose is about the only intractable fea ture. It strikes right out in unalterable independenee, defying all efforts to shorten or straighten it. Let me interpolate the fact that not one woman iu ten ever laughs or smiles naturally. Knowing full well our defects of teeth or expression, we try to hide or reform them. I know a girl who will never go to the mitisll, Is or other shows beeau.se she isu't pretty wheu she laughs. If inadvertently caught by something comic she buries the laugh in a handkerchief; but whenever possible she docs ull her laughing internally. This wrenches her terribly, und sooner or later her vitals will get broken ull to pieces; but she prefers death to a display of her scraggy teeth.

And further on, under anutbet heading, there is a de matid for nearly $10,000 more. Of this, $12,.r00 is fur repairs and refurnishing the White House; $2,500 is for fuel, $4, 000 for the green house and $15,000 is for gas, matches and the stables. The White House, all told, costs the couutry in connection with the Presideut considera bly over $125,000 a year. Washington Letter in I'kneuiml lit ml J. A WONDERFUL IHMi. "I have a dog," said Senttor Vest, who hud jut heard a prcoociuus crow story, "who is very sngucioiis. One morning he watched intently while a negro blacked my shoes. The following morning he came to where I was sitting with a black ing brush in his mouth. You may sot believe it, but that dog got down on his haunches, spit ou my shoes, took the brush in his teeth and rubbed away like a house on fire. But I must admit that he did not gel up much uf a polish. One Sunday, while I was living at Sedaua, this dog followed Hie to church. I noticed that he watched every movement of the preacher. That afternoon I heard a ter rible bowling of dogs iu my back yard. I went to see what was the matter. My dog was in the woodshed, standing en his hlndlcgs on an old drygoods box, lie held down a torn almanac with one fore law and gesticulated wildly with the other while he swayed his head and bowled to an audience of four other dogs, even more sadly than the preacher I had heard that morning " Memphis Amwal. Speaking of the house of a lady who does uot intend to spoil her children by sparing the rod, somebody remarked bow nest and clean everything was. "Yes," said Vcug, "ovorything it like whacks i works." PRESIDENTIAL LONGEVITY. Most of our presidents have been long lived men, and have survived their re tirement many years, John Adam lived twenty-five years after he left the white house, and died at the ripe age of 90. Jefferson passed away on the same day seventeen years after the expiration of his presidential term. He was 83 years old Madison was S.') when he died, and had been ex-president nineteen years. Mon roe survived MUTstireuicnt six years, and died at 72. John Quiney Adams attained the age uf 811, and finally died at the post of duty iu the cupitol eighteen years after tbe termination uf his presidential service. A ndrew Jackson lived to lie US, and died ill 1814, eight years ufter his departure from Washington. Van Huren and Tyler 80 and Tl respective when they wire culled hence, the former having been an ex-president twenty-one und the latter senenteen years. Funklin Pierce died thirteen years and James Buchanan seven years after leaving the white house; the former was lit! and the latter 77. Fill more 74 at his death, and lived twenty one yours after his presidential term ex pired. Andrew Johnson was six years an ex-president and died at fi7, George Washington uud James K. Polk were tbe only presidents who died very soon after their return to private lite; Washington living less than three years and Pulk only three months. The former was tiS at his death aud the latter 54. Harrison, Tay lor, Lincoln, and Garfield died in office. Harrison was (18, Tavlur ':", und Gar- ! field 5ll. Grant is n ."', und it is eight years since he was president; Hayes is Gl and has been an ex-president for four years. These are. historical facts which ought to make plcasaut reading for Mr. Arthur about this time. Ex. NEWLY MAKRIEO COUPLES. It is the happiest and most virtuous statu of society iu which the husbaud and wife set uut together, make their property together, aud with perfect sympathy of soul, graduate all their expenses, plans, calculations and desires, with reference to their present means and to their future and common iutercst. Nothing delights man more than to enter the neat little tenement of two youug people who, within perhaps two or three years, without any resources but their own knowledge of industry, havo joined heart und hand, mid engage to share together the r spoiwinliiies, duties, interests, trials aud pleasures of life. The industrious wife is ebecrlnliy employing her own baud in domestic, duties, put t i r r. -i her house in order, int'ieiing her hus band's clothes, or preparing the dinner, while iierhaps the little darling sits prat tling on the floor, or lies sleeping in the cradle, and everything seems preparing to welcome tbe happiest of husbands and the I icsi of fathers when he shall come houie from his toil to enjoy the sweets of his little paradise. This is the true domestic pleasure. Health, contentment, love, abuuduncc, and bright prospects, are all here. But it has become prevalent acutiu'eut that a man must acquire his furtuuc before he marries, that the wife must have no sympathy, nor share with him iu the pursuit of it in which must uf the pleasure truly consists uud the young married people must set out with as large and as expensive an es tablishment as is becoming those who have been wedded for twenty years. This is very unhappy; it fills the com munity with bachelors, who are waiting to make their fortunes, endangering virtue promoting vice; it destroys the true eeos omy and design of the domestic institu tion, and it promotes idleness Slid ineffi ciency uuioiig femuh's, who are expecting to be taken up by Fortune and passively sustained without any cure or concern on their part; aud thus many a wi'e becomes, us a gentleman once remarked, not a help mute, but a help-rat.

This is fortunate tor the calf, as he will not be mistaken for a dude. Hr. Mary Walku now declare the will never marry. Young men, now you can come out of the wissls. "Win is that across the stieot?" "Oh that is a very close frend of mine." "In deed!" " Yes. Never lends a cent. If you give a satisfactory answer t an inquiry after the health of your parents what character iu history will you name ? Bolhwell. Waltham. Me., has no minister, doctor or blacksmith. The skatiug rink gets along without the minister, but it niisses the elector und blacksmith. The Sultan of Morocco has 1,000 wives. Solomon only hud 700. But, it has been remarked, Solomon was a wise man; he knew when he hod enough. Intelligence is a very good thing in a wile, but the taste of young men rather runs o beauty. They prefer a well form- "d girl to a well informed oue. "Is the age of chivarly past?" asks a euntempoiuiy. Oh, no. Only last week a young man in Harlem married a red headed girl with a wart on her nose. A man died in Bridgeport, Conn., a few days ago while buying s cigar.

THE LAW OF FINDING. The law of finding says s writer is this: The finder has clear title sguinst the world except the owner. The proprietor of a c jaeh, or a railroad-cur or a shop has no right to demand the property on premises, Such proprietors may make regulations in regard to lost proHirty which will bind their employees, but they cannot bind the public. The law of finding was de clared by the king's bench one hundred years ago, in a case in which the facts were these: A perssn found a wallet coutaiaing s a sum f money on a shop floor. He handed the wallet and coutcuts to tbe shopkeeper to be returned to the owner. After three years, during which the owner did not call for his property, the finder demanded the wallet and the money from the shopkeeper. The latter refused to de liver them, upon the ground that they were found on his premises. The former then sued the shopkeeper, and it was held, as above set forth, that, against all the world but the owner, the title of tbe finder is perfect. SQUEEZIN' TIMES. On t train going West the other eve- uiug were two reaideutt of the tity, who were canvassing the general tituation to biisinem, and both agreed that it was a lime when every business man should pan: his apples very close. Behind them was a afurmcr uud his son, and, as the gentlemen finally ceased, the farmer ob served: "W ilhaiu Henry, did you hear what they said'.'" "Yes, dad."
