'No matter for that; a better dressed woman that yourself dosen't walk the streets of the city. Now for that I nm not rich, I want to know how you do it.'

I was cui'ous to get a milliner's judgment, upon it, and yesterday asked Miss to show me some ten dolUr bornets. She did so, and I would not exchange mine for any of them. Hal ha!'

'Glovi-s, four dollars a year,' said his wife, 'put that at four dollars, for I get the veiy best from motives of economy; shoes, say eight dollars, though I am not quite certain it is so much; laces, perhaps five dollars, having a good assortment and taking care of them. My dressing gowns are of rrench calico that are yet handsome after a llm-e yenr's wear but to be more explicit, I have kept an account of everything of that kind, which 1 have bought within the last ten months, and my outside dress, winter and all, has not exceeded seventy-five doMata.' Mr. Reed looked at his wife with exulting glances. 'And yet,' he exclaimed, 'how well, in how thoroughly pure and elegant lasto you have always appeared, my admirable wife.

"DON'T LOOK DOWN." The scene opens with a view of the great Natural Bridge in Virginia. There are three or four lads sianding in the channel below, looking up with awe to the vast arch of unhewn rocka which the Almighty bridged over these everlasting abutments, when the morning stars sang together. The little piece of sky spanning those mensurele piers is full of stnrs, although it is mid-day. It is almost five hundred feet from where they eland, as those perpendicular bulwarks of limestone, to the key rock of the vast arch, which appears to ihem only the siz' ol a man's hand. The silence of death is rendered more impressive by the In tie stream that falls from rock to rock down the channel. The sun is darkened, and the boys have urconsciously uncovered their heads, as if standing in the p'esencH chamber of the Mnjesty of the whole artb. At last ibis feeling begins to wear away; they begin to look aroand them. They see the names of hundreds cat in the limestone abutment. A new feeling comes over their hearts and their knives are in hand in an instant. "What man has done, man can do," is the watchword, while they draw themselves up and carve their names a foot above those of a hundred full grown men who had been there before them. They are all satisfied with this feat of exertion except one, whose example illustrate perfectly the forgotten truth that there is no royal road to eminence This ambiliors youth sees a name just above bit reach, a name that Bhall be green to the memory of the world when those of Alexander. Caesar and Bonaparte shall rot in oblivion. It was the name of Washington. Bt-foro he marched with Braddock to the fatal field he had been there and left hiname a foot above all predecessors. Il was a gloiious thought of a boy to write his name side by side with thai of the great father of his country. He grasps his knife with a firm hand and clinging to a jutting rtng, lie cutH into the limestone about a fool above where he stands; but as he puts his feet and hands into these again, and drawl himself carefully to his full length, he finds himself a foot above every name chronicled in that mighty wail. While his companions aro regarding him with concerned admiration , he casta his name in htiie capi lals large and deep into the flinty album. His knife is still in his hand, and strength in his sinews, and a new created inspiration in his heart. Again he cuts another niche, and again he carves his name in large capi lals. This is not enough. Heedless of the entreaties of his companions, he cuts and climbs again The gradua tions of his ascending scale grow wi der apart. He measure! his length at every grain he cuts. Tho voice of his friends crrow weaker, till their words are finally lost on hie ear. Ho now for (he first time eaAts a look beneath. Had that glance lasted a moment that moment would have been his last. He clings with a convulsive shudder to his little niche in tho rock. An awful abyss awaits hi almost certain fall. He is faint with severe exertion, and ... aa . I I I a as . a trembling from tne suauen viewoi nie dreadful destruction to which he is ex posed. His knife is worn hall way to he haft. He can hear the voioes but not the wrrds of hU terror stricken companions below. What a moment' There is no re-tracing his step. It is impossible to put his hand into the same niche with hi 'eet, and retain his hold a moment! H.s companions instantly perceive this new and fearful dilemma, and await hi- fall wilh emotion! that "freeio their young blood " He is to high, too fsint, to ask for his father and mother, his brothers and sisters, to cumo and witness or avert his destruction. But one of his companions anticipate his desire. Swift as the wind ho bounds down the channel, and the fatal situation is told upon the father'! hearth itone. Minutes of alraot eternal length roll on. and there were hundr-'d standing in that rocky cha.inel, and hundrends on tho lidijo above, all holding their breath and awaiting that fearful eatas Irophe. The poor b hears the hum of now and numerous voices, I ,'h above and below. He can just dis inu'liish the tones of his fallier, voice, fat h who is ihouiing wun au me energy ui - . a a a a S a at uepan a tt vit I I ft . 111 "William! wiinam: jjon 1 ,oo. down your mother, -and Henry, and Harriet aro an nero praying ior you Don't look down. Keep yourejes towards the top. The boy didu t look down his eyes are fixed like a flint toward heaven, and hia young heart on Him who reigm ihere. He graipi Rgtin Mel knife. Ho cut another niche, and j another foot ia added tohundreda that remove him from human help b low. How carelully be uses bis wasting blade. How anxiously ho sal -is the softest place in their pier. How he avoids every flinty grain. How he economises his physical powers resting a moment at each grain he cuts. How every motion is watched from below. There stands his father, mother, brother, and sister, on the very spot where if he falls he will not fall aloae. Tho sun is half way down tho west The lad has made fifth additional niches in the mighty wall, aud now Limits himself directly under the mid dlo of that vast arch of rocks, earth and trees. He cut his way in a new direction to got over this overhanging mountain. The in-piration of hope fa dying in bis bosom its vital heart is fed bv the increased shout. of hund reds perched upon cl ffs and trees and others who stand with ropes in their hands on the bridge above, or wilh ladden below. Fifty grain, more must be cut before ihe loiyeat rope can reach him. His wailing blade " 07

again strikes into the limestone. The boy is emerging painfully, foot by foot from under ihat lofty arch. Snlieed ropes are ready in the hands of those who are leaning over tho outer edge of the bridge Two minutes more and all will be over. The blade is worn to tho lasthalf inch. The by's head reels; his eyes are starting from their sockets. Hi last hope is dying in his heart -hi life must hang upon tho grain he outs. That niche is his last. At the last faint gup he makes, his knife, his faithful knife, falls from his hands, and ringing along the precipice, falls at bis mother! feet. An involuntary groan of despairruns like a death knell through the channel be low, and is as stil aa the grave. A: the height of nearly three hundred feet, the devoted boy lifts his hopelcu heart, and closing hia eyes commend! his !oul to Ood. 'Til but a moment three one foot swings oft' ! he is reeling trembling topling over into e'i rnity! Hark! A ihout falli on his ear from above. The man who is lying with half hia length over the bridge, has caught a glimpse of the boys head and shoulders. Quick as thought tbo noosed rope is within reach of the sinking youth. No out' breathes. With a faint convulsive eflort the swooning boy drop! his arms into the noose. Darkness came over him wi'.h the words Ood and Mother whispered on his lips just loud enough to be heard in heaven, as the tighten

ing rope lilts him out o: bis last shallow niehe. Not a lip moves while he is dangling over the fearful abyss but when a sturdy Virginian reached down and drew up the lad, and held him in his arms before tho fearful and breathless multitude, such a shou.ing, such leaping and weeping for joy, never greeted the ear o( human being ao recovered from the yawning guit of eternity. No Gloom at HomeAbove all things there should be no gloom in the home. The ihadowi of dark discontent and wasting frclfulness should never crosi the thresh hold, throwing their Urge black shapes like I'm. eral palls, over the happy voting spirits gathered there. If ou will, your homo shall be Heaven and eve y inmate an angel there. If you will, you shall ut on a throne and be the presiding household deity. O! faithful wife, what privilege, what treasurer, greator or pnrer than thin And let ihe husband strive to forget his cares as he winds around the lonir , , , , . , narrow .treat and belt.

The night i. cold and cheerless perhaps, and the December gust battles with the worn skirts of hi. old overcoat, and snatches, wilh a rude hand and wailing cry, at the rusty hat that has served him many a year. He has been harrassed. perplexed, persecuted. He has borne wilh many a cruel tone, many a cold word, and nerved himself up to an energy so desperate that his frame and spirits are weakened and depressed; and now his limbs ache with weariness; his temples throb with the pain beat caused by a too constant application; be scarcely knows how to meet his wife with a pleasant smile or sit down cheerfully to their little meal which she has provided with so much care. But the door is opened, the overcoat thrown hastily off. A sweet voice falls upon his ear, and the tones aro so soft and glad that hope, like winged angel, flies right into his bosom and nestles against bla h -art. The latch is lifted, and the smiling face of his wife gives an errnest welcome. The shining hair is smoothed over her fair brow: indeed she 6tolo a little coquettish glance at the mirror HHBgtwg in its narrow frame just to see if she looked neat and pretty before she camo out. Her eye benms with love, her dress is tasteful and what? Why! ho lorgeti all the trials of that hing, long day ai he foldi her in lis arms and imprint! a kiss upon her brow. A home where gloom is banished, presided over by one who has learned to rule herself and her household, ohrlitlaaityl oh! he i thrice consoled for all his trials.

But then the man who sells ihe whisky is one of your poor onehotse kind of concerns. No sir, he has plenty of land and money and of course he can do as be pleases; we must not molest him because he is a man of influence, and I have no doubt but he is one that could get a certificate of good moral character if he wanted it for the purpose of making brutes of his neighbors.

I Among theie happened to be a buucb aa B S 0 l l'l.i ol shingles irom a lot wnicn mo impertied genltemen was having transpur ted on the beat. When the vessel was turned about it was found that this bunch had floated within reach of the man and that ho had sustained himself upon it. He wai taken on board, and without expressing any gratitudo for bis deliverance, he told the Captain, wilh considerable agitation, that he should expect pay for the shingles that had been thrown overboard. Captain Ward replied that he waa sorry that had hu known tbe shingles wer.- his he would i.ot have donu it! This a true story, and when anybody can beat it he shall have our hat, and if ho desire, it, a written acknowledgement of our unqualified belief iu the doctrine of total depravity.

Losing and Gaining a Praetioa. A correspondent of lhe Philadelphia Sun, writing from Cohaiet, Masachusetts, relates an anecdote of a physician residing in that place, which he says is a fact, and the beat temperance lec ure he ever heard. Some thirty years ago, this doctor was addicted to hard drinking, and neglected his professional duties to such an extent that the people had to send lo Boston for a new physician, a younger man, whom ihey cobniz' d nmong ihem. Thing. wnt on very well for a time, the old doctor losing patients, nod the new doctor finding them. At last, tbii brace of pestles met at the town store; the old doctor purchasing n jug of rum. and the young man a bairel of Hour. Some invidious remarks of a bystander called forth a sneer from the younger and more flourishing ol the two doctors. This was noticed and interpri ted by the old one, who, with a calm, deliberate air, put the cork into the jug of rum, and, turning to the sneering opponent, he said: "I have put the cork into that jug, and 1 will never take it out again, until 1 have starved you compietely out ol the town of Cohassett." He kept hiword, and in about a year from that lime, he had regained all his old patients and friends, and obliged the young doctor to evacuate for fear of htarting. A DaNORRori Bokrst.
