RACHkt. A. Smith. January 25, 1S71. Never Satisfied. A man In hi carriage was riding along, A gaily dressed wife by hi side: In satin and lace she looked lik a queen, And he like a king in hi prid. A wood-sawyer stood on tho street a ho passed; The carriage and couple he eyed. And said, as ho worked on a log, "I wish I was rich and could ride." The man la tho carriage remarked to his wife, "One thing I would do if I eould: I'd give all my wealth for tho strength and. the health Of the wan who ia sawing th wood." A pretty young maid with a bundle of work, Whose face as the morning was fair, Went tripping aloug with a smile of delight, AVhile buuiibtnea love-bresthipg air. She looked in the carriage the lady she saw, Arayed in apparel so fine; And said in a whisper, "I wish in tuj heart Those satin and lace were mine." Th lady looked out cn th . maid with her work, So fair in her ctlico dress, And said, "I'd re)iuquiFh ( ositit n and wealth, 11 er beaut aid youth to poscss." Thus it is in this world.

me bjicaKer, a sanasome youne mm of twenty five, had just entered a larce 1 i " -i p , - . r" and elegantly furnished room where aat a geotlemao, handsome also end very like the first in personal appearance. i Bul! do I? Well, I feel dark dark es the devil?' With this statement, Alfred Byrne' gave a fearful sigh, and looked as dolefully as so good looking an todiridual could 'Hal ha!' laughed the first, that's eood JF " u vo eor SO IDUOn in to I nark- . hnnlnothing to do but to find wava and means ot spending a fine fortune. Why, you're the luckiest dog in Christendom.' It's just because I have nothing to do that I feel so horrible; I am tired of eating and sleeping.' 'Go out, man! Are not all doors' open unto you? Do not the handsomest belles prostrate themselves before vou? Can you

not buy every kind of pleasure under the'at tn9 door of tlie h,""Dle dwelling, and Bun? Bless my soult what more do you when tto JoanK 'Jy opened the door, want?' respectfully raised his hat and inquired

Nothing more of that kind, Clinton. Verily; 1 am sick unto death of balls and operas. I am sated with fashionable amusements, and like the child who had all hut the moon, now want something else ' 6 'Well, pon my honor, then, there is nothing left for you but to get married.' Melancholy as Alfred Byrne felt, he could not help laughing at the tone of horror in which Clinton announced this last resource 'Indeed, Clin, I have been seriously thinking of that very thing, and would not hesitate, if I could find a girl to love me for myself, and not for my money. But how could I tell? Look at Blanche Leighton, as sweet and fair a girl as New York can produce, and Bhe's going to marry that old monster, John Greller, eelling herself for gold.' Well, Alf, I don't see what you ean do, unless you go to some out-of.the.way place, and make believe you are a struggling young artist; you'll find plenty of milkmaids, at 'fivo o'clock in the morning,' if you're inclined to turn out so early.' Not such a bad idea, Clinton. I have a great mind to try.' Liet me know, then, old fellow, when you are re-dy to be sacrificed, and I'll be ! chief mourner.' Alfred and Clinton Byrne were cousins; they were both tall, strong and hand-ome. Their complexion, hair and eyes were so much alike, tbat they might have passed for brothers. Clinton, the younger by a couple of yeais, was of an exceedingly joyous temperament took all ihe rubs of hie with, gay, good humor, and stteuied to be walking in perpetual sunshine. Alfred, who was graver and quieter in manner, was at times subject to attacks ot metancholy; these were partly constitutional, and partly tte result of a somewhat idle life. By a strange coincidence, they had both been left orphans at the age of nineteen; but under very different pecuniary circumstances. By the death of his father, Alfred By roc became possessor of a yearly income of ten thousand dollars. His guardian immediately sent him traveling, under the care of a sort of tutor; and for three years he led a roving life, learning much from people and nature, though very little from books. i.eturning to New York, at the age of twenty two, he plunged at onee into every kind of dissipation. At tho end of five years he bad tasted of every enjoyment; he had traveled to his heart's eontent;(he had been petted, courted and caressed, by ambitious mothers and enterprisingdaugb ters, until he was fairly sick of high life, and had learned to look upon every young lady as an animated trap, seeking to catch young men with good incomes. As a great contrast to his cousin's good fortune, Clinton Byrne found himself, at his father's death, possessor of a fine face and figure, an active brain, some talent, and about two hundred dollars in cash. He remained in New York, and lived very economically, steadily iucrcas iug bis small inheritance He wrote for papers and magaxines; he painted portraits; and through his persevering industry, and his genial, happy temper, which eecured him many frieuds, he met with considerable success, and was able to earn a uioder ato income. Alfred, who was fond of his cousin, generously offered, many times, to share his abundance with Clinton, but the latter was too independent to accept He was, therefore, obliged to content himself with having some half doien portraits painted in different styles, for each of which he paid very handsomely. A few days after his conversation with his cousin, Alfred Byrane abandoned the fashionable society of New ork, and pro viding himself with pencils, paints aud paper, went off touring among some very insignificant villages, stopping a day or so in each, ostensibly to look at the sceuery about, but really to investigate whatever attractions the place presented in the shape oi lair maidens. For a week he wandered about totally unsuccessful, and growing tired of the tare in country taverns, was thinking of ab.n. doning his wild search, wheo one Sundtv , as he was leisurely walking along a shady lane in an obscure village, he heard the sweetest and clearest of voices sing og the Te Deum to a quaint, old air. He paused to lis'en, and though b had heard the most celebrated singers, both in America and Europe, he had never been entranced by such melody as this vojoe was pouring forth. Spellbound be stood before the little I ratling inclosing a mite of a garden, while the unseen songstress sang the whole of that noble anthem Then followed readings and prayers; she was evidently repeating the Episcopal Church service. hen at last the voice became silent, he .1 , , , , . -- TS owiy away, casting longisg ana lingering looks behind, but ue glimpse of

the unknown eeuld he see. But going to the small ion, where he had slept the pre vious nigh, he managed to discover the names ol the inmates of tho modeat dwell npi ! They were only two. Mrs. and Miss Lor 'n& motber daughter. The mother v8 blind and very delicate. The daught. ar pperted herself and mother by teaoh iog in the village school. Alfred determined to remain at least a 7 op two -n(J et eigh of the owner of this lovely voice. Fortune favored him the next day, for as he was strolling about. be met Mis8 Coring coming from the children "tuuui. niiu .uuia u.ti uu.v.u hanging about her. She was sweet and fair to look upon. He delicate and refin ed face seemed fitting accompaniment to her exquisite voice. This glimpse only strengthened his desire to beoome person ally acquainted; to he went back to- bis simple dinner, racking his brains for ways and means of accomplishing his purpose. The eveoin; of the same day, be knock for Miss Loring. 'I am Miss Loring,' replied the sweet voice. 'I beg your psrdoo for my intrusion, but can I speak with you a moment?' His tone was very grave and courteous, so the young lady invited him in The small room was very plainly furnished, but had quite a cheerful and inviting look. A lady of very delicate appearance was re cliniog in a large chair, among a quautity of cushions. , 'My mother, said Miss Loring, looking inquiringly at the stranger. My name is Alfred Byrne. This with gentlemanly bow. ! crave your indulgence for a few moments Yesterday morning I was accidentally passing the house, when my ntention was arretted by the sound of singing. I hope you will not be offended when I say that I paused to listen, for a sweeter and elearor voice I have never heard. I have a lady friend who delights in giving amtture concerts at her house, to which 6he invites only hsr own friends and acquaintances. She has been kind to me iu many ways helping me in my profession an artist (Alfred was really a ins zed at himself for the grav. ity with which be told this abominable falsehood) and I would be returning her manv tavors it 1 coma in any way secure for her next concert so perfect a voice You would receive the kiudest consideration, and would find Mrs. Anderson a a very charming lady. Miss Miller, of New Vork, a very estimable lady, who sung at the last concert, received the liberal compensation of three huudred dollars ' The air of reliability which Alfred gave to this statement was wonderful, consider ' ing that it was alia fabrication of his j brain. 'If you would take the matter into consideration,' he continued. 'I will be pleased to call in a day or two for your answer. I am staying at the inn for a few days, sketching one or two places about here.' Miss Loring looked thoughtfully at the gentle countenance of her mother, and the sight of that thin, sweet face, with its sightless eyes, almost decided her. What oomforts three hundred dollars would give to her darling mothe.rl 'You may call to morrow evening, she replied, with a little hesitation in her voice. Thank you.' And bowing in his most courtly style, Alfred Byrne bsde good evening, aud went aw.y well pleased. The next evening Miss Loring gave her consent to sing at Mrs. Anderson's soiree musicale, and Alfred posted off to New York to make the necessary arrange ments With very little effort he persuaded hiold friend, Mrs Anderson, to give the eoncett and let him bear all the expense Meanwhile, she was to keep his secret, and was to make some remarks before Miss Loring about tha strugles aud diffi culties of that very interesting young ar tist. Mr Alfred Byrne. She even accompanied him to Dayton, saw Miss Loring, and gratified his heart by warm commendations of the young lady. In ono or two succeeding calls, when, as a passport to kind admission, he brought the tnusie she was to sing, and played the airs for her on the violin, Alfred Byrne made himself so agreeible that both moth er and daught r welcomed him with smiles. The concert was not to take place for three weeks, so he had ample time to strengthen the i oppression he made The appointed evening arrived and Miss Loring went to the city, escorted by Alfred leaving her mother iu charge of a kind neighbor. 'I he concert, was a decided success. Clinton was pressnt, ani. upm being introduced to ihe young debutante, immediately lost his heart. According to a pre arrangement, he was to personate his wealthy couio Alfred, and vice versa. Miss Loring remained all night with Mrs. Anderson, aod was rather assortished at that lady's remarks on the merits of that 'Door young artist. Mr Aifm.i Hvrnfi ' and his "rich cousin Clit - j ton ' During the next few weeks she was the rather uneasv receiver ot numerous pre sents of fruit, fiowers and books, all ol which bore the compliments of Mr Clinton Byrne; but Alfred never gave anything dm . fV wild flowers, and a little sketch of a favorite bridge by the old mill Wooed by tw,o at once, Ada Loring suddenly found herseif in an unenviable nosinon or nredicament. Both were band some, agreeable and gentlemanly. One was comparatively poor, and had to make his wav in the world: the other rich -b.le tft give every comfort and luxury to ber idolized mother.

than toiling and hardship. 1 But her heart warmed the most toward the one who, like herself, knew what trial and difficulties were, and who bad given to her her first pieee of good fortune. When Clinton proposed first, as Alfred persuaded him to do, for the last and final test, she said 'no,' kiodly but decidedly. For the first time in bis life Clinton lost his good spirits, and began to think tbat Fate was using him badly, and bitterly wished bis cousin had let him alone in his search for a wife. When Alfred berrd of Clinton's ill-sue-cess, bis heart rejoiced and trembled at the same time, llejotced that Ada bad stood the test so well, but trembled for hie vb success. But Fate was kind to him, and to his tender declaration, cf love, Ada Loring gave an earnest response. Thee followed the confession of bis naughty deception, and the truth that he was, after all, the rich suitor, and not the poor artist. She was a little hurt at his deceiving her, but lived him too well to withhold forgiveness, especially as his object bad been to gain affection for himself, and uot for bis money. A very bappy man was Alfred Byrne when he installed iu his handsome and luxurious home his sweet young wife and her geutle mother, and enouifled from hia heart forever. Excellence of the Wheaten Losf. Good wheat bread and butter is the staff of civilised life. Take away wheat bread and butter from our families for a few generations, and who is prepared to say that eililintion would not guide easily to a state of barbarism. There is sound phi losophy in this suggestion; because there is no other kind ot Human tood that is so admirably adapted to the development of the human frame, including a noble brain, as good bread made of golden wheat. Ctvilna'iou has seemed to keep pace with the production of wheat. Civilised and refin ed society, the world over baa seemed to exist ooeval with the wheaten loaf. We find the lowest order of intelligences stand log on a potato. Unly one step above this class, anoiher order is found on a hoe. cake. One degree above these we meet with the class that has risen in the scale of being as high as it is possible for mortals to rise on a pancack. - Head and boulders above all of these classes we find the highest order of intelligences, with large aud well developed brains and noble and magnanimous characters, standng securely on their whealeu loaf. There is no otuere tood in the kingdom of nature that oao excel the wheaten oaf, because it furnishes more and better mateiial for the human brain than any other frood. Preservation of Boots and Shoes. The extreme heat in which most men and women expose boots aod shoes during Winter deprives leather of its vitality, rendering it liable to break and crack. When leather becomes so warm as to give off the smell of leather, it is singed. Close rubber shoes also destroy the life of leather. All varnishes and all blackioe con taining the properties of varnish should be avoided. Shoe ieater is greatly abused. Persons know nothing or care less about he kind of material used than about the polish produced. Vitriol blacking is used until every particle of oil in the leather is destroyed. To remedy this abuse the leather should be washed once a month ith warm water; and when about half dry, a coat of oil and tallow should be sp ied, and the boots set aside for a day or two. Ibis will renew the elasticity and life of the leather, and when thus used ihe upper lcatcr will seldom crack or break. The Chicago Post, in commenting on the performance in that city of Handel's 'Me ssiah.' says: 'Handel would have been pieaeed with such a house; but if Handel had aeeo men and women rise and move ut of the hall while 'Behold, 1 will tell you a mystery' was being sung, Ustidel would have seized a drum and thrown It at the ill bred rustics who could be guilty of such an outrage on good music and good taste..

A SJight Mistake. The following aoeedote baa been associated with the name of a well-known clergyman's helpmeet in Scotland: The minister bad been entertaning at dinner a clerical friend from some distance. Tha evening was unpropuious, and tbe mend. was invited to remain tfuriog tbe night, and the friend accepted the invitation. They walked together for some time in the manse-garden.

Compulsory Education ia Germany. As to compulsory education in Germany, the police officers of the commune keep a list of all the children who have arrived at school age. This list is put into the hands of the sohool-board, which now becomes responsible for tho attendance of all those marked in the register. The master of tbe school prepares periodically a list of absentees who are unexcused.' and it then becomes a duty of the board to call upon tbe parents or guardians of each child aod admonish tbem. If tbe offence is repeated, the name of the child is communicated to the police, and the. offending parent is mulcted in a small fine for each day's absence, non-payment being followed by imprisonment. In Berliu and other towns where the school-board has more control over the school, a committee of the board assesses aod collects the fine, subject to the rigbt of appeal by the delinquent to the magistrate. Iq Wurtemberg, the uoexcused absences are rare; and in Saxony hardly a child, we art told, is overlooked. Here, the day th child is absent from school are recorded. and have been made good under pain of the refusal of the rite of confirmation at the expiration of the eight years' term of schooling.
