I was sitting in my chair before the open-grate, fixe, and Dolly saten the rag at my feet. We were both yeiy still, fori had not the heart to speak, aad Dolly knew my hnmor.

Bemember the success of the whole thing rests with yon, now," It is 7 5 on Christmas evening. The Academy of Music is filled from roof to floor with a critical audience anxiously awaiting the moment when the curtain shall rise. ' fn the "green-room" are assembled all the members of the company, some of whom are making it any-: thing but pleasant for Dolly. For jolly aad good-natured as actors and actresses usually are, and wfiBrjg as they ever seem to help each other, they can never resist the temptation to tease a novice. They were volunteering all sorts of questionable advice and poking a good deal of fun at my little wife. Dolly took H all in good part, and not even the unkind earoasm of Miss Do Forest, whose jealousy had overcome the neuralgia sufficiently to bring her to the Academy ia theahtieipsiaon of witnessing my wife's discomfiture, embarrassed hex. I went oa first and was well received. My first exit is the "000 for Dolly's entrance. At that moment I possessed enough nervousness for two of us, Dolly eaters from the back of the stage, aad gracefully glides to the center, where she stands before the large audi- ; eace, ia the fall glare of the footlights.

Snodkins was erazy with delight, aad the newspaper men aad visiting, manager thronged Dolly's dressing-room to offer their hearty congratulations. The rest of the play was but a continuance of the triumph of the first act. The play was a success, and Manager Snodkins was saved. It was very late that night when Doll aad I were once more alone in onr littlf sitting room. "How could you do it, Doll?" I asked, as I kissed her. "WelL I shan't toll you how I did it.

A child of seven or eight is married, taken from her parents, and brought to the house of her mother-in-law.

Love, in ito higher sense, between husband and wife is unknown; sympathy for one interest in the husband's pursuits, interchange of ideas, even conversation on ordinary topics, is naturally impossible. At best the husband treats the "partner of his joys and sorrows," as a toy, to be played with in his idle moments, and to be abandoned when it has served its purpose and begins to pall Under these circumstances is it to be wondered at that the women sink to the lowest depth of the moral and intellectual scale, that their conversation is coarse, their instincts bential and crnel, and their character utterly lacking in any of the restraints imposed by purity, honor, or truthfulae?

BvrmtaTiTiotrs irjsoxom,-. Do what you can you cannot disabuse the negro mind of a belief in ghosts and the supernatural. The least occurrence in any way mysterious or ineKplipable confirms bim in a suspicion and he declares a house is haunted. .An elderly lady lived once on North Vine street, and, being herself more ox less superstitious, she more readilyfgave into her servants' reports. Sneptept but one maid of all work who, twenty times a day, would bob her head in the parlor door and say, "Miss Annie; did you ring?" . "No, I didn't, Mag." . i "Well, I 'elare 'fo' God, dia.here bouse am haunted." Next morning "Miss Annie"' would find herself without a maid. As one after another left her, nil declaring! that the servants' bell, from rooms knojrn to 'be unoccupied, would ring at all lands of unreasonable hours, and all coining ?x the same spiritualiatio oonclosion, 'Miss Annie" was at but foread toViave her meals furnished and employ a girl :by the day for housework. ; Kelating these incidents, she declared that the servants were not far wrogg in jtheir conclusions, and looking up ojten, : while sitting alone in her parlor, she :desoried a shadowy figure in the doorjway, sometimes that of a female! and sometimes a male, which vanished when she approached it, aa she was always strong-minded enough to do. There is a good old darky doing work 'in the culinary department of a family on Church street. She is fall of Isuperstitioa and, being one of the "old .time" sort, she delights iu gathering the .children around her and relating to jthem all kinds of miraculous happenings, causing their young blood to freeze in their veins and their hair to creep to a perpendioular'on their young heads. Her hobby is "earthquakes," and she has these children so frightened that the mere mention of earthquakes causes them to creep closer to their mother and cling around her for protection. The nursery is next the children's room, where a the piano for daily practice, and sometime, or, in fact, very often, this piano is left open, and once pr twice a prowling oat or frolicsome rodent has sounded its keys in the midnight hour.

Nashville American. INSECT-EATING BIBBS, Fifty years ago every farm in the Eastern, Middle, and Southern States had from five to twenty acres of woodland. These lands not only served many other good purposes, but were natural resting places for birds, and served them as safe shelter during the heat of the day. These primitive forests were the home of many species of birds. The writer well remembers the delight experienced in going ;to the woods in the spring of the year, and listening to the songs of the native warblers as they returned from their Winter quarters at the South. Thef shrill whist! a of he quail was as famuiarto the ears o the farmer as hodbehold words. The scream of the blue jay rang 'through the .forest olear and lowM The 'many species of woodpecker; was watched with intense interest as they glided up and down the trunka5of the trees, ever and anon rapping with irresistable force with their powerful beaks, and frequently drawing forth some huge grub that had been sapping the life of some monarch of the forest While watching these ever industrious and useful birds, a scarlet tanager, like a flash of fire, or some other bright bird, would flit by, happy and beautiful. How is it now?- The woodman's axe and the pot-hunter's gun can tell the sad story. The birds have gone no home, no resting place, no safety anywhere. Looking at this sad picture, one feels ready to exclaim with the poet Burns, Inhuman man ! cane on thy barbarous ait, Aul blasted b thy mnrder-almlDg eye; May never pity sooth tlioo with a sitjh, Nor ever pleasure glad thy cruel Uealt. The birds that were so common fifty years ago were mostly insect-eating birds, and destroyed millions of noxious insects, and were of inestimable value to the farmer and tiller of the soil. Even the grain-eating birds consumed a large number of larvae. The humming birds, supposed by many to subsist wholly upon honey, consume many small beetles and thrips, and thereby confer a benefit to the florist. Vices' Magazine. rum latum r bmxnink voo cuaze. Although the fashionable world adopts from time to time many novel and curious kinds of pets, the dog, aa a really domestic animal, rarely meets with a formidable rival. In all his breeds, from the tiny toy terrier to the huge mastiff, he reigns supreme in town and country. It is, therefore, a matter of importance that a new dog is about to appear in our midst. There was great demand for a fresh canine; the rotund English pug has been voted sleepy and stupid; the great setters somewhat too exuberant in their spirits for everyday companionship, so it is expected and hoped that the stranger will strike the happy medium line. He is little, and furry, and black, not unlike small spitz, and he hails from the low countries. He has all the requisite good qualities, being affectionate and vivacious, added to which, he is an expert rat catcher. His dogahip will find his debul into our drawing-rooms considerable of an elevation, for his life, hitherto, has been passed in the gloomy recesses of narrow canal-boats. Table Talk. TYPHOID VS.

Mr. J. kept on reading, and after a while he musingly remarked: "Theyll have a cold day for the race to-morrow." "What race?" asked Mrs. Jones, eagerly; she hadn't heard of any.
