Mr. I'tnlesinie hail risen early on l.nr pose lo least his eyes and mind on the miiy of the landscape, and stood lost in thought at bis dressing-room window.

KirUscuo turned the bed-key. She's taking down our bed, as I'm alive," soliloouiied Mr. b'ortescue. "That means house cleaning, and no peace for a week at least. What run be done? d .1 .A-...- i uerc no way out ol it: Iiu sure every u ju t in the bouse was lilted last Kail." The husband stood looking out of the window, but no longer heeding the sun rise ho was revolving a lilau. "I'll risk be said at last, and proceeded to hunt fume strips of flannel. Just as he whs swathing bis throat in a long strip of red flannel, Mrs. l'ortcscuc came to the dor. "I've taken the bed down Ned, and shall set to work at oucp. Hear the birds! it's high time we were through house-cleaning, liut, my dear Ned, what u the matter? Ton't tell lue you've a aore throat !" Mr. Fortescue nodded, pointed to his throat, and shook his bead, ns if solemnly to indicate that speech was an impossibility- "Tour me! how very unfortunate. I can't possibly clean house willi you ill!" Mr. Fortescue turned suddenly to the window lest his delight should betray him. , "We must send f. r Tr. Ilortoii," con tinued bin wife, "ad you must not leave these rooms. I don't wish to alarm you, my uear. dui you know diphtheria is so catching, and the children " ror a moment our hero wavered; he had not any ideu of being quarantined Besides, (he doctor would see through his deception. If only bis wife had held her ngue for a few minutes lie would have confessed his wickedness, and thrown him self upon her uicrcy; but alio, foolish wo man, did uot know when to keep still ! "I'll tell you, Ned, what I'll do," she went on. "If it's not clear diphtheria, I'll just run oft" with tho children up to Aunt Maria's, and then, if you are not better, I'll leave them there and come back. To bo sure, I want to nurse you. Here was a respite ! No hnuse-deaning, and a house all to himself at that love liest time of the year. Anuie was such a slave to her house and her children that he couldn't bo blamed if she seemed tire some once in a while I So Mr. Fortescue (speakiuj as hoarsely ot 1iS eoold, and so overacting the part that Annie began to fear pneumonia, and was thoroughly frightened) agreed to take his breakfast apart from his family and see the doctor as soon ai possible. "You'll be ablo to swallow a soft-boiled egg, dear, tad i cup pf oofiee, won't you said Mrs. Failuwitteiaiia) N.'d, ir!:j CvulJ have eaten three or four mutton chops with a relish, had to look ill and nod ac quiescence. Dr. Horton was 'sent for, and came around very promptly, and, as Mrs. For tesrjne was washing tho breakfast china, she lent him up to sec her husband, in tending to follow soon, "I'm in a pickle, and I must talk fast," said tho patient, in a remarkably clear, smooth roiee, -'for my wife will bo up in a moment. To tell tho truth, llorton, I've shammed sick to gut rid of tho bonsc oleaning, and you most help me out. Your bill weuld have conic in a mouth later if I had not, for Annie is always sick after a spring clearing. Now, tell her I've u diphtheritic throat nothing serious, but that it would be safer for her to take the children to Aunt Maria's." "I know your wife too well to imagine she'd leave you," said the doctor, "for all her devotion to the young ones." "lint she'd take them there, and then I 'll telegraph that I'm better, and perhaps they'll stay a few days. This lovely weather won't lasl a week, and then she'll be glad the cleaning is put off." Mrs. I'ortcsouc's voice was heard giv ing some directions to the servant; there was only time for an assenting nod from tho doctor, and she was in the room, anxious to learn his opinion of the pa tient. "A diphtheritic throat, ma'am; there is no cause for alarm none whatever; yet what is a light attack for the father might prove fatal to n child." "I'll take them away at onee at once I Ned, you don't think I'll neglect you ? I'll be back to-morrow, and you must tel egraph to-night. Doctor, you must tele graph and let me know the truth." The two men felt guilty ns they saw that Mrs. Fortescue was, really troubled. Il was unly ibe vivid recollection of the last siiriiii? clcanim;, and the belief that a lew days at Aunt Maria's would really do Annie good, that enabled Mr. Fortescue to carry out his part. As for the doctor, he assured her that Ned was Berl'ectlv 11 but for a few spots on his throat; that the oiiiet, and a few days' rest from busi ness, would quite set him up: and urged her to stay with the children for a day or two if he could conscientiously tel- rapb "All's well." Two or three hours later Mrs. Fortes cue and the two children drove off to the depot, waving a good-by to "l'oorpapa," who stood at his window, the red flannel still about bis throat. Dr. llorton had telegraphed to two or three of Ned's chums, and was to wake his ne.it call about diiiner-tinie, when they hoped the gentlemen in question would have arrived. Meanwhile the cook aud waitress were quite relieved as to master's throat by the hearty lunch he ordered and enjoyed. It chanced that all three of the chums Were able to accept the invitation. Jack Downing never could resist the country in such weather, and felt he could combine business with pleasure, for Fortescue had laid him about the scenery about his place, and ho was sure of making some ketches, Tom liascoinb was a medical student, one who often spent his Sundays at the Jl'itH'-ri (as tho Fortescues called their place;) and .Mr. Trisoouibe, a hard working man of business, was fairly shoved off by bis wife, who knew how much the poor man needed a breath of real country air. "I'm on the the sick list," explained their host. "Nothing worth mentioning except that it gave me the chance of a holiday; aud as my wife is off with the children, I thought I would enjoy keeping bachelor's hall for a few days." And they did enjoy it ! Jack sketched talked, and smoked ; Tom refused to think of medicine or disease, kept them all laughing, and umu.scd himself at the piano, while "dear old Driseoinhc," as Ned called his friend, who was n few, and seemed ten, years older than Ned, rested body, soul and spirit, enjoying the good cooking, the clear air, the scen.'ry, the young men's jollity, and his wile's letters, which airivcd twice a day. "Throat doing spendidly," was ihe tele gram that relieved Annie Fortescue on tlie evuniug ol her arrival. Aunt .Maria wis delighted to see tho children, and made so much of Annie herself that' the litlle Woman decided Uo( to g tho next morning if the new was good. "Your husband nmioet wdl no need of uursing," was the telegram received at ten o'clock, and all insisted that since she had conic, she might as well stay. "Just telegraph to Nod that you'll stay a week, now you have lell home, coaxed her aunt. ' You are such a slave to your house, husband and children, that I be gan to despair of a visit; I said to Thomas only the other day, 'Annie '11 be sure to be house-cleaning if this warm spell holds good.' " "Why, queerly enough, I bad begun," said Annie. "My bed was down; Ned always know, I mean business when I unscrew that great bed of ours. How the dear old fellow bates house-cleaning ! No, I can't promise a week, but I'll stay on from day tu day. Ned can't do with out mo." If she uoitld have wen Neil at that moment! lie was trying his haud at a water-oolor unjrt 'Jtok'i tuition. Tom told story after s'lory" tliat made Ned laugh so heartily he could not keep bis hand steady. Then followed a song, Nisi sinking a solo, nnd all joining in the chorus pinging is so good for a sore throat I Tho weather grew warmer each day. Annie's housewifely instincts could not resist such an opportunity. Ned was, by his own account, quite well; the children could stay at Aunt Maria's what a splen did chance todo the cleaning! "I never knew such succession of spring days tho weather is heavenly. It in in spiring. Why, before and I took a stroll, and see these sketches!" and Jack showing bis studies. "Do you know, a woman only thinks of " Ned began; but bo was interrupted; he never finished the sentence, for a figure stood in the doorway; and, as all four gentlemen turned, Annie looked from one to the other, in very evident amazement, and not evident delight. Any woman who enjoys housekeeping more than home-uiakiui; can enter into her feel ings. Never bad the pretty silling-roolu looked so homelike, hut Annie only saw the disorder. A box of water-colors here, Ibe portfolio of sketches there; a branch of calkins was pinned above a picture and in two saucers Mr. Driseninbc bail started some delicate ferns. "Messrs," one anil all, housewifely. Annie called them; yet, as she looked, she could not be blind to the fact that "Ned" was brighter and happier than be had seemed for a year past. F.vcn his astonishment at her sud den appearance did not bring back the clouded, repressed expression so familiar to bis wife : for Ned knew that though the woman he had chosen as bis wife was a trifle too much devoted to mere externals, she was u true lady, nnd Would not be rude to any guest, no matter bow unwel come. In far less time than it lias taken to write this, Annie recovered herself, shook hands with the two gentlemen she knew, and was introduced to Jack Downing, of whom she had often heard. Nothiug was said of the throat, but after a private interview with Mary, the waitress, Annie, who was no fool, nnd quick enough to learu a lesson, made a resolution. She pressed her husband's friends to stay n days longer, watered the ferns, bunted up a few more catkins, and when she had Ned to herself, Baid, very demurely. "You needn't play sick another spring, dear. "I'll wait till you'vo enjoyed the first lovely weather before I house-clean. Ned, I iiu like a tidy house, but I boliev I love you even better." "Annie, I'm ashamed of myself, but I can t say I m sorry, since you're so good about it. So you tin see something good ill a lovely spring day besides an inspira tion for a thorough cleaning?" "I see what these spring days have done for you, Ned; I believe you've been cleaning out the cobwebs from your brain. You must keep Jack Downing here a week or two. After all, the bouse need not be pulled to pieces every spring, and I'll try to put up with a few messes in the sitting-room, siuce they make you so happy." And Annio let the bed-key rest until the following September. Iff ImIiuhI. A PKIXTUK'S DICEAM. I'AItTMCHS KOIt 1,1 MS. ASl'CaT:SSKUTKST. It is a lamentable truth that half the marriage compacts are entered into through impulse or mercenary motives. 1'ridu and self-interest, instead of love, stimulate the parties to this union of hands, and then they wonder why happi ness has not been the result. It is in di rect antagonism with liihlo teachings, which declare where love exists, pence, plenty and happiness lire sure to bo its concomitants. Many a man has seen in the lowly walks of life just the partner who filled bis heart wilh the true ideal of all he sought mid wished, but pride revolted at bis choice, and friends expostulated wilh him on the impropriety of marrying, as the world would say, beneath him socially; and al though love struggled long for the mas tery, pride finally triumphed, and oilier scenes and cares soon stilled the sentiment that might have secured b'uu temporal and eternal felicity. In all the vicissitudes of social and do mestic life there is nothing that entails a surer and more enduring disquiet and un happincss than an uncongenial marriage, for it is a tie that can be dissolved re putably only by the band of death. The harmony of life is forever destroyed no divinity shapes our ends; the wear and tear of a ceaseless discontent soou consumes our vitality; and tho grave receives its victim too often, alas! by tho hand of violence. There is no convenant se holy ns wed lock, ami none should enter into it lightly and imprudently. Sell your cows aud hoises and sheep and oxen by corporal weight and beauty, but forbear for hu" inanity's sake all such barterage of immor tal souls. The higher walks of life afford as sam ple a field for selection as any other, but pride and fashion have their masks ever ready for impressment, while in other sphere from habit or necessity, nature is more prone to bo true to herself and one's judgment is not so apt to bo misled by specious appearances. JIarry lor love, and be sure that that love is based upon sterling iiualities and graces of mind and cart, and happiness will be almost incvi- bly the result. HKNMNII IlKsl'ATI'IIKS F1HI.M A TRAIN MIIVINII T1IIHTY MM.I'.SAN HUt'lt. HOME (iOOI ADVIl 1 A printer sat in his office chair; his boots were patched and his coat thread bare, while his face looked weary and wcrn with care. While sadly thinking of business and debt, old Morpheus slowly wound him crept, and bctore he kucw it he soundly slept; and sleeping, he dream ed a dream that he was dead, from trou ble unit toil Ins spirit had tleil, ami that not n cow-hell tolled for the peaceful rest ot bis cow-hide soul. As he wandered among the shades, the smoke and seoreli in lower Hades, he shortly observed an iron door that crcakingiy swung on hinges ajar, but the cntranco was crossed by a red-hot bar, aud Satan himself stood peep ing out and watching for travelers therea bout, aud thus to the passing piiuter spok and with growling voice the echoes woke: "Lome in. my dear, it shall cost you nothing, and never fear; this is the place where I conk the ones who never pay their subscription sums, for, though in lit they may escape, they will liud when dead it is loo late; I will show you the place where I melt them thin, with red-hot chains and scrips of tin. and also where I nidi their heads with broken glass aud melted lead, and if of refreshments they only think, there's boiling water for them to drink; there's the red-hot criudstoue to grind down his nose, and red hot rings to wear on bis toes; and if they mention they don't like tire I'll screw up their mouths wilh red hot wire; and theu. dear sir, von should see them sqirrm while 1 roll them over and cook to a turn." With these last words the printer nwoko and thought it all a practical joke, but still at times, so real did it seem, that he cannot belu ve it was all a dream; nnd often he thinks with a cbucklu and grin of those who save their tin and never pay the priu tor. Fai'k ok tu k Camki..

When a camel is press ed beyond bis speed, and is speut, it kuuelg down, and not all the wolves in Asia will make it budgu again. Tho came) remains where it kneels, and where it kneels it dies. YOL'NGAT KKH1TY. In a discourse on this subject, liev. Tr. 'ollyer, of New York, gives these hints to the candidate for a hale, hearty and happy old ago : "The first element to bo considered lies yond your reach and mine, in the homes where you and I were born aud nurtered. One great reason why t never ad a really sick day in my life was that was born nnd nurtured in a sweet little home, where we lived on oatmeal and and milk, and brown bread with butter once a week, potatoes and a bit of meat when wo could catch it, nnd then oat meal again. So I don't know to-day as 1 i nave a system or constitution or a digestion :it all ; 1 am never conscious of such n ling. Hence I say wo" must go back to the parents fur the first answer to our picstioii. Thousands of young men come to such ciliis as this from the (Jreeii Mountains or from New Hampshire or Maine, with just such a constitution as mine. They have with them all the con ditions for a long sweet life. They can use their years wisely and well, write ut the end of each on "Value received.' or they can overdraw their account as many lo, (!od help them I Instead of saving it fifty, 'I am young yet,' they will say at forty, "I am indeed old.' They are so ambitious to get on, some of them, that they use up two days in one, and waist their vital power. They ride when they ought to walk down town, and thev take little something,' ns they say, to restore (heir lax energies, for whicliMhey have to hew a clove or coffee berry, I mil told. They are overdrawing their account, I say, mid some day nature and tho grace of (led will shut down on them. Those who do differently keep a good digestion, stay young and buoyant, love (TihhI, sweet company, and are not ashamed lo look their mothers and sisters in the eyes or kiss them. Another secret that must be known to tho young at eighty is, that you must keep faith iu the coining man hood and womanhood, and in the advanc ing progress of tho day." In a corner of the baggage-car on the I'urt Morris branch of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Kailroatl a tele graph operator stood beside bis key send ing messages, and from the sounder beside him leeeiviug thein. I'asseiigors on the train watched and wondered for the train was rushing along at the rate of thirty miles per hour and it was manifest that the operator was talking to the rest of the world. Tic invention which is on trial has been given a test of mouths on this short branch line, and has worked to the entire satisfaction of its inventors and negotia tions are now about closed which will put it mi several of the large through lines. The invention is a very simple one. On the car itself are iron tubes running along the bottom of tho car carried u coiled Copper wire which makes a complcto cir cuit ot the car length by being carried along the interior uf the car. Tuless at tention was specially directed to it, it Would be overlooked. The ends of the Cupper wire run to tlie operators desk, where is the usual sounder, key iod relay, or, if it is desired to use the more modern and more economical "buzzer," there is a telephone connection. In this last the operator, in place of the rattling click of the sounder has only tho soft whistling, throbbing which comes from the ordinary telephone car-piece. There is nu connec tion between the electrical plant on the ear and any outside plant, but along the centre of the tracks covered up securely in a long hit al scantling is an insulated copper wire. This is nothing more than one of the thick copper wires, familiar to all, as the arc light wires iu the streets. It is merely hidden from sight iu the centre of the wooden strip and a small gang of men might ami have laid down this at the rate of two miles per day, into this wiro from the regular offices on the ends of the line or at any point the mes sage is sent iu the ordinary way, and by induction it is caught up by the wire of the iron tube below the car and thus reach es the operator's buzzer in the car. It matters not whether the car is standing on the track or moving at tho highest rate of speed the induction goc on aud the com munication is continuous. On the branch in question, where the track wiro is laid only on the outgoing track, there is no difficulty in getting messages through with the train on the other track, though in this ease the distance betweeu the wires is about 11 feet. Over a short culvert the tiack wire is eairicd iu a cable on the bottom of the water and across a draw bridge the wire is carried iu the same way by cable. The induction is so strung uud the system so perfect that when the traiu left the branch track where the ground wire was and went upon the main track this buzzer still kept up its story from the outside world, and not until the car had left the lower wire, fully a quarter mill away, dui tlie sound die out. J Ins was explained by the operator by saying that the ground wire was using the air Hue fully twenty live fuet away to carry on the conversation. The application of the ventioii is first to the running of tiaius, for by it a division superintendent is constant and uninterrupted communication with every train al rest or in motion, and whether fogs obscure the signals or not. whither it be hi-Jit or day every train iuiis under the dinrt orders of one man Passengers may make use of the iiistru. incut for personal business and scud dis patches from the train iu motion and re. ceive answers. AD.VKRTISKMENT3 - "While dis am de nige of progress," said Brother Gardner, as he rose with a force of (ISO pounds to the square inch, "do not progress too fast.

I have a vague idea that a widow, to bo natuial, should always be plump. I can't givo my reason fi . I have long had a conviction that griei over a departed husband is fattening. I know that stage widows arc always wan and pale and faint at the sight uf any relic of the deceased. But that is a dramatic license, and only in oomcdies whore true lovo and devo tion are made funny, uot to say ridiculous do they make widows pluaip. Come to think of it, I dou't sec why a widow shouldn't be plump. She has nothing to worry about. She is heroine of one great battle, a weakened world before her to conquer. 1 like widows. It always seems to me that a widow is a woman who has got the best of a man. He may have il a good deal of a man or very little of a man, but she's uot tfic best of him. serins to be awfully bard fai a woman to survive her husband. I do not wish to :iak whether matrimony is after all a dis ease that is fatal to woman. I don't say that a woman should never marry at all. She should always marry some other man.

No ChrUliaii is ever .i riuiilisl to enter one of the public baths. These baths nro on the plan of what are called Turkish bulbs in America. The women balhe in the morniir; and the men in the afternoon. After the bath the bathers lounge iu an outer room and gos sip and smoke. For the women, especially, the weekly visit t the bath is like resort ing to a woman's club. They tako their sewing and embroidery, and after the hath sit for hours chatting, sewing and smok tho water-pipe. When the woman returns home from the bath she is full of the gos sip of the neighborhood and has plenty to talk about for a wink to eoiae. In Turkey all sects can visit the bath, but tlio Persians allow no one to bathe with them but the faithful followers of the Prophet. lltll'li't Mujn ;i,ie Things said and done malapropos are sometimes amusing.
