J Some twenty years ago—l do not
1 know how many exactly hut it was
j some time during the war—l heard n
; «tory which ti auldier was read.ng in a
new,paper to a little group around liiin
|tu their great enjoyment. I ahull tell it
| only in briot', though 1 remember well
; tbe fiilling in was a good part of it,
I which will be missing in my recital.
Mr. S. C. I'eterkin a pru'speroiis
I young man of business who BOt ahead
j in apite of his constitutional modesty.
I This was in his way in society liipre than
in trade ; lie watt afraid of uotueu mora
than men. '|')r •» long, krt.g timu
| lie bad set his heart upon a lovely
| young lady whoso sweetness was like
i her mime, which was V inlet. ]| c had
i often called upon, and resolved again
and again that ho would make her an
j offer of bis heart and hand, but as often
I thai heart failed him. Though the
j wbolu evening be would sit and
"(iay.f upon her a* a st.u
Whose purity anil liUtanrv m.ifl" it Ciir."
j and coma away without making any
' progress in his suit. At last lie .became
| alarmed by the fact that tbe dashing
| ''apt. Latham, of one of tin* Sound
I steamers, was often at the house when
be called to See his charmer, the charm
ing \ iolet. At last be could not bear
I
I the suspense any longer, and lie ventur
ed, with much ncsitaney, and awkwtml
-1 lies.', but with do-or-die determination,
:to ask her if >he would be bis. \\ itli
| remarkable eooh e-s, she ie-'lied :
1 "Yon should have spoken long ago,
Mr. I'eteikin : 1 have been engaged to
] ('apt. Latham for some time past, and ,
jwo are to be married very shortly. 1
am sorry to disappoint you, but we will
be as good friends as ever, and you must
1 come to see mo just the sauie. The
Captain will always be glad to have
I your company."
I'eteikin went away sorrowful. Jiut
i a brighter day soon dawned, for within
three months alter they were married
the Captain fell off the steamer ill a fig
on the Sound and was drowned." Now
; I'eteikin took heart. He would have
; tbo widow.
[ A year of mourning wore slowly away.
He kept his eyes on the widow, but
| would not insult the memory of the dead
j by proposing until a decent interval had
j passed. Tho year ended, and he laid
] his heart again at the little feel of Yin- '
! let. She hoard lntn quietly, and quiet- ;
1 ly remarked, "My dear I'eteikin, 1 am
sorry to disappoint you again, but for i
tbe last six mouths 1 have been engaged '
to Dr. Jones. It was hard to make up
my mind between htm and his friend the
; handsome Lawyer Bright, but Dr. Jones
was so good to me while 1 was nick in !
I the winter after my husband's death that
| I promised him 1 would be his at the
: end of the year."
! So poor I'etcrkin retired once moro :
the widow Lathan became Mrs. Dr. '
| Jones, and so remained, while the dis
; eouilited I'eteikin wished the doctor
| might lake enough of his own pills to
make an end of him.
I Time passed ou. I'etcrkin was walk
ing down Broadway ouo day, while not
very far ahead of him ho saw tv.'o men,
one of whom he knew to bo this hated
Dr. Jones. A large II it stone was be
ing hoisted to the coping of a new
building: the rope g.ne way : it fell
and instantly killed the two men. I'e
terkiu rose to the emergency of the mo
i uient. For the dead lie could bo of no
avail, llis thoughts wore on tho widow.
He turned, he ran, ho flow to her abode,
i When she cutored the room where lie
awaited her he began :
i "My ditur Mrs. Jones, I bring you
dreadful news. I was walking on the
street, when 1 saw a stone fall from a
house upon your poor husband, and bo
! is dead . but you must lot me comfort
1 you. I beg you now tu bo mine, my
| Violet, at last "
"Dear Mr. I'etcrkin, I am so sorry!
! but when Dr. Jones aud Mr. Bright 1
| wore both begging me to marry, I took i
the doctor, and promised Mr. Bright if
anything happened to Dr. Jones, I j
would certainly be his. fc'o you see 1
ani engaged. I am sorry, for I do '
think a great deal of you, my dear I'e
tcrkin."
I'etcrkin was very calm and sclf-con
' taiucd. lie said, "Aud will you prom
isu to be luino' when that lawyer is j
no more 1"
' "Certainly 1 will with all tny heart j
. and soul."
"Then come to tny arms, my Yi .! ;t,
for the same stone that killed tho d oior
was the death of iiiight, and you are
mine at last."—Harper's Magnate.

Cultivate family Mle.
Tho bitterest tears sbe.l over graves
are for words left unsaid and ilecds left
undone. "She never knew how I loved
her." "He never knew what he was to
! me." "1 always meant to make more
Jof our friendship." "I did not know
! what he was to ire till lie was gone."
Such words are tho poisoned arrows
which cruel death shoots backward at
us from the sepulchre door. How much
more wg might make of our family life,
of our friendships, if every secret thought
ot loro bossouiod into a deed! We aie
not now speaking merely ..f personal ca
resses. These may » 1- ||' .y not be the
be.it language of affection. Manj are
endowed with a delicacy, a fastidious
ness ot physical organization, which
shrinks t»way from too much of these, re
pelled and ovcrpowdercd. Hut there
are words, and looks, and little obser
vances, thnughtfulness, watchful little
attentions, which speak of love, which
make it manifest, and there is scarce a
I family that might not bo richer iri heart
i wealth for more of them.— Mrs Sluin.

If practical jokois could suffer a lit

1 liabit. Say w u gentleman, speaking of
- . the retributive justice which eiireil him
i 1 got one punishment when a boy I
ii wtver forgot. Wlioo about ten years
,s old, I fancied 1 badu grudge against
s a lu«l of my own a«r«», but much smaller.
I j 'atching him alone one morning, 1
s | dragged hiin to the big wateriu£ troti
1 j and gave iiiin a thorough d rnsing in the
| icy water. W lule he was BjHtttcrijig
' j and f,;'ii£ to oeeapu,.mj 4kiii«*r tntiue
1 upon the scene. A iu« incut's .silence—
. then—
. I "(jo ioto the house, Dan," was all
t | that father said.
i i 1 obeyed with ai| Halving heart. The
u | niorniiig passed, and yet 1 was not call
j ed to account. Af>eriiuou and evoniug
i- | dragged by, bcd-tiuie, and stiil not a
t' ; word was said.
. | It. wasn't exactly a pleasant day to
[ | lac. 1 had ample' tjuie to think it over,
i'i nd realize the lucauncssof niv net. 1
- retired with an uneasy uiind: it wasn't
. j like father to pass such a thing utmo-
I tlccd.
I j Could he have forgotten it ' Could it
i j ho possible that for .some unknown tea
, ; sens ho was, to use a boy's phrase,
;■ "winking at it ! " I was puzzled !
c The next morning the mystery wa«
. solved. As L entered the brcakf.ist
rooni father met uie, and, taking my
| hand silently, led me out to the trough,
i where 1 underwent exactly such treat
, uient as I'd given Jim.
The following day another "hair of
i I the dog" was administered. On the
third morning 1 tried to starve it out,
, and by going without breakfast get rid
, of the duck tug.
All in vain! Though, when the bell
. rang, I l'ept in my room, 1 soon heard
[ i father calling in a tone 1 dared not dis
t: obey :
"Dan' D.in!"
, ; And I went dwn only to be marched
l out to uiy ioy bath.
> i For one week I wis put through that
I watering-;rough every morning
, i I atlier did not weaken the lesson by
. "words, idle words." And I guess lie
; was right, for 1 did some thinking dur
j 'iig those days.
t i That experience stuck by me and al

Manhood
>
You want to know, Tom, what is the
I first quality of manhood! Well, listen,
_ j 1 am going to tell yon in one little word
of Bye letters. And lam going to write
I that word in very loud letters as though
you were deaf, so that you may never
| forget it. That word is '•TJUTIi."
Now then, remember, truth is the only
foundation'on which can be erected i
manhood that is wot thy «f being so
called. Now mark what I say, truth
' must be the foundation on which the
" whole character is to be erected, for otli
' erwise, no matter how beautiful the up
-1 per stories may be, and no matter of
how good material they may be built,
' the edifice, the character, the manhood,
will be but a sham which offers no sure
s refuge and protection to those who seek
' it for it will tumble down when, trial
comes. Alas, my boy, the world is very
full of such shams of manhood in every
, profession and occupation, There ure
lav. urs in this town who know that they
j have never had any training to lit them
. for their work, who yet impose upon the
I pei pie and take their tuou y lor giving
them advice which they know they are
unfitted to give. I heard of one lately
i who advised his partner "never to have
anything to do with law books, for they
i would confuse his mind." There are
ignorant physicians who know that they
are ignorant, and who can and do im
i pose upon people more ignorant than
themselves. There are preachers witli
| out number pieteuding to know what
they have never learned. Don't you
i sea that their manhood is at best but a
beautiful deceit! Now 1 want you to
I be a man, and that you may be that, 1
'[ wont you first and foremost to be true,
thoroughly true. I hope you would
scorn to tell a lie, but th at i~ only the
beginning of truthfulness. 1 want you
' to duspise all sham, all pretense, all
effort seem to be etncrwi.-c than you
aro. When we have laid that founda
i tion then we cm go it to build up a
I matihot I, glorious and godlike, rt'ter the

A husband and wife iu Ludlow street
jail for counterfeiting have had an addi
tion to their family, and the Times re
marks :
"The birth of a girl baby in Ludlow
street jail, the first child ever born j
within the walls of the grim and ill kept I
1 stnietcr**, recalls that pathetic chapter
in one cf Dickens' strongest novels j
which tells the story of tho birth of
Amy Dorritt in tho Marshalsea. From j
what we have learned of the interior of j
Ludlow street jail and the life of its in
mates, f.om the published statements of
prisoners and reports of investigating
comuiittcs, we may almost imagine that i
the ino.dcnts preceding the first appear- j
mice iu this dijinal and wicked world of
Child of the Mar.slialca were repro
duced in the New York jail yesterday.
Tho sympathy of the jailers was surely
not wanting, and the fellow of j
tbe happy parents were perhaps as desir- |
oi.s to d > lomcthing useful, as they were
: certainly as dirty and ut kept as the
poor debtors in the iMarshalseo."
The poor little waif will hardly like
in after years to tell i flier birth place
but will probably content herself with
saying tint she was boru iu New York.
Who ran tell but in the mutations of
the future sha may yet find her way to
