Betty sighed. Now, why she should have Mghed at this particular moment, no one on earth could t;ll. And it was all the more exasperating because John had just generously put into her little shtpely hand a brand new $10 bill. And here began the trouble. 'What's the matter?' he said, his face falling at the faint pound, and his mouth clapping together in what those who knew him but little called an 4,obstinate pucker" "now, what is it?" Betty, who had just begun to change the sigh in a merry little laugh rippling all over the corners of her red lips, stopped tuddenlr, tosßed her bead, and with a small erk. no ways conciliating, sent out tbe words, "You needn't insinuate that I'm al"vays troublesomel'' 'I didn't insinuate who's talking of insinuating?" cried John, thoroughly incensed :ktth8 very idea; and backing away a few s-teps, he glared down from his tremendous Iieight in extreme irritation. It's you, your-r-elr, that's forever insinuating, and all that, and then to put it on me it's abominable!'' The voice was harsh, and the eyes that 'ooked down into hers were not pleasant to behold. And if you think, John Peabody, that ill stand and have such things said to me, you mis jour guess that's alll" cried Jetty, with big red spots corning in her cheeks as she tried to draw her little, erect üfirure up to its utmot dimensions. "Furever insinuating! 1 guess you wouldn't have said that before 1 married you I Oh, now you can, of course I ' 'Didn't you say it first, I'd like to know?" cried John in great excitement, drawing nearer to the small creature he called "wife," who was gazing at him with blazing eyes of indignation; '! can't endure everything." "And if you bear more than I do," cried 3etty, wholly beyond control now, "why then I'll give it up," and she gave a bitter little laUih and tossed her head agxin. And here they were in the midst of a quarrel I These two who but a year before had promised to love and protect and help each other through life. Tow,"said John, and he brought his hand down with sue!; a bang on the table before him that Betty nearly skipped out of her little shoes, only she controlled the start, for she woulä have died before she had lert John see, "we'll have no more of this nonsense l" Iiis face was very pale and the lines around , the mouth so drawn that it would have gone to any one's heart to have seen their expression. "I don't know how you will change it or help it," said Betty, lightly, to conceal her dismay at the turn affairs had taken, "I'm sure," and she pushed back with a saucy, indifferent gesture, the light waving hair from her forehead. That hair trat John always smoothed when he petted her when tirea or disheartened, and called Ler "childie." Her gesture struck to his heart as he glanced at her sunny hair and the cool, indifferent face underneath, and before he knew it he was saying, There is no help for it now, I suppose." "Oh. yes, there is," said Betty, still m the cool, calm way that ought not to have deceived him. But men know so little of women's hearts, although they may live with them for years in closest friendship. 'You needn't try to endure it, John Pea bodv. if you don't want to. I'm sure I don't care!" What do you mean?" Her husband f rasped her arm! and compelled the merry rown eyes to look up to him. 'I can go back to mother's," said Betty provokingly. "She wants me any day, and then you can live quietly and live to euit yourself, and it will be better all around." Instead of bringing out a violent protestation of fond affection and remorse, which she fully expected, John drew himself up, looked at her fixedly for a long, long minute, then dropped her arm, and said through white lips very slowly: 'Yes, it may be as you say, Detter all around. You know best," and was gone from the room before she could recover from her astonishment enough to utter a sound. With a wild cry Betty rushed across the room, first tossing the ten-dollar bill savagely as far as she could throw it, and flinging herself on the comfortable old sofa, broke into a fl-xxl of bitter tear?, the fmt she had shed huring her married life. "How could he have done it oh, what have I said oh John, John!" The bird twittered in his litllo cage over in the window amon the plants. Betty remembered like a flash how John and she filled the seed cup that very morning, how he laughed when she tried to put it in between the bars, and when "she couldn't reach without getting upon a chair, he took her in hisgre&t arms and held her up, just like a child, that she might fix it to suit herself. And th "bits" that he said in his tender way, why they had gone down to the depths of her foolish little heart, sending ner about her work singing for very gladness of spirit And now! Bettv stuffed her fincers hard into her rosy ears to shut out the bird'6 chirping. "If he knew why I sighed," she moaned. 'Oh, my husband 1 Birthdays nothing will make any difference now. Oh, why can't I die7 ' How long she stayed there, crouched down on the old sota, she never knew. Over and over the dreadful scene she went, realizing its worst features each time in despair, until a voice out in the kitchen said: 'Betty 1" and heavy footsteps proclaimed that some one was on the point of breaking in upon her uninvited. Bettv spranz up, choked back her sobs, and tried with all her might to corupo3e hertelfand remove all traces of her trouble The visitor was the worst possible one she could have, under the circumstances. Crowd in herself on terms of the closest intimacy with tbe pretty bride, who, with her husband, bad niovea into tne viuage previous, Hiss Elvira Simmons had made the very most of her oDDortunities, and by dint of making great parade over helping her in tome do

mestic work, such as hou?e-eleaning, dressmaking, and the like, the maiden lady had managed to ply her other vocation that of news-gatherer at ono and the same time, pretty effectually. She always called her hy her first name, though Betty inwardly resented it; and she made n great handle of her friendship on every 'occasion, making John rage v'olently and vow a thousand tiine3 the "old maid'' should walk!

But she never had; and now, scenting dimly, like curr'nn al ter it prey, that trouble might con.e to the pretty Mtle write house, the innke-tnisohief h:id t ome to do her work if d'vattatin I ad real y commenced. - "Been t rying? ' s!ie taid, mure plainly than politely, and sinking down into the pretty chintz-covered locking-chair with an energy that bhowed the nu ant to stay, and made the cl.air crenk f arfullv. '"Only folks do say that vou and y-ur husband dont live hup. uly; but la! I wouldn't mitd that I RT.O v 'lain't your fault." tfctty's ht-art stood still. Had it come to this? John and she nt t to live happily! To be sure they didn t. as she remembered with a pang the dreadful scene of words and hot tempers; but hnd it gotten around so soon a siory in everybody's mouth? With all herdistres-t of mind she as saved fr-m opening her mouth So Miss Simmon?, failing in that, was fon.-ed to go on. 'An' 1 tell folks," she said, rocking herself back and fourth to witness the effect of her words, "When theyHJget to talking, so you can't blame me if things don't go easy for vou. I'm sure." "Vou tell folks so?'' repeated Betty vaguely and standing quite still. ""What? I don't understand." ' Why, that the blame was all his'n," cried the old maid exasperated at her strange mood and her dullness. "I say, says I, 'Why there couldn't no one live with him, let alone that pretty wife he's got.' That what 1 say, Betty. And then tell 'em what a queer man he is; how cross, an' " "And you dare tell the people such things of my husband?" cried Betty drawing herself up to her extremest heignt, and toweringse over the old woman in thechair,thatas she jumped in confusion at the storm she had raided, and si a red blindly into the blazing eyes and face ro-y with righteous indignation, her only thought was how to getaway from the ttorm she Lad raided, but could not stop. But she was forced to stay, for Betty stood just in front of her chair and blocked up the way, so she slunk back into the smallest corner of it, and took it the best she could '-My huibanll'' cried Betty, dwelling with prido on tha pronoun at least, if tut y were to pr.rt, she would say it over lovingly as much as she could till the last mometit; and then, when the time did como, why people should knowtbatit wasn't John's la'ilt "the best, the kindest, the noblest, husband that was ever given to a woman. I've made Lim more trouble than you can guess; my hot temper has vexed him, I've been erots, impatient, and " "Hold!" cried a voice; "you're talking against my wild" and a moment big John Peabody rushed through the door, grasped the little woman in hU arms and folded her to his heart, tight be lore old maid and all I On!" said 3Ii-s Simmons, sitting up straight and sitting her spectacles more firmly. And, now that you have learned all that you can," said John turning round to her; avt.il 1 holding Betty, "why you may gol" The chair wa vacant A dissolving view through the door was all that was to be seen of the gossip, who star ed up the road hurriedly, leaving peace behind. "Betty, ' said John, t-ome half hour afterward, "wtiat wa th sih for? I don't care now, but I d.d think, dear, and it cut me to the heart, how you might have married richer. I longed to put ten times ten into your hand, Betty, and it galled me because I couldn't." Betty smiled, and twioted away from his grasp. Running into the bedroom, she presently returned still smiling, with a bundle rolled up in a clean towel. This she put on her husband's knee, who stared at her wonderinsily. "I didn't mein,'' she said, unpinning the bundle, "to let it out now, but I shall have to. Why, John, day alter to-morrow is your birthday! So 'tis!" said John. "Gracious! has it come round so soon?" And you, dear boy," said Betty, shaking out before him a pretty brown afiair, all edged with silk of the bluest shade, that presently assumed the proportions of a dressing-gown, "this is to he your present; but you must be dreadfully surprised, John, when you get it, for oh! 1 didn't want you to know!'' John made the answer he thought best. When he spoke again he raid, perplexedly, while a smtll pucker of be wildenneot settled between hi eyes: "But I don't see, Betty, what this thing," laying one finger on the gown, "had to do with the sigh." "That," said Betty; and then she broke into a merrv laugh, that got so mixed up with the dimples and the darning brown eyes that, for a moment, she could not finish Oh, John! I was worrying so over those buttons; they weren't good enough, but they were the best I could do, then. And I'd only bought Vm yesterday two whole dozen. And when you put that ten-dollar Dill in my hand, I didn't know it, but I suppose did cive one little bit of a sign, ot i was so provoked that I hadn't waited buying tbem until to-day." John causht up the little woman, Ures-tng-gown and all. I don't think they have ever quarreled again at least, I have never heara of it. ' Children Diet. Rose Terry Cooke in Haiper for September.

IDE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT."

A Curioun Account of the Origin of the Weil-Known Nursery Story. London Cngregatlonal Magazine. As the occupations and pleasures of childhood produce a powerful impression on the memory, it is probable 'almost every reader who has passed his infantiledays in an English nursery recollects the delight with which he repta id that puerile jingling legend, "The lIou, that Jack Built." Very few, however, nre at all aware of the original form of its composition or the particular subject it was de. igned to illustrate. Fewer still would susjH t that it is'only an accommodated and altered translation of an ancient parabolical hymn, sung by the Jews at the Feast of the Passover, and" commemorative of the principal events in the history of that people. Yet suoh is actually the fact. The original, in the Chaldee language, is now lyiruj before me. and as it may not be uninteresting to the readers of the Congregational Magazine, 1 will here furnish them with a literattranslation of it, and then add the interpretation as given by P. N. Leberecht, Leipsic, 1731. The hymn itself is found in Sepher Haggadah. volume 23: 1.

That qieuched the fire That burned the aff, . 1 hat beat the dog, That bit the cat. That ate lb kid. That my fa' her bought For two piece of mony. A kid, a kid. The following is the interpretation : 1. The kid, which is one of the pure animals, denotes the Hebrews. The father by whom it was purchased is Jehovah, who rp- 9 s-tvtwa Viimea f oa onctainine iViio wloriAn 4a. the Hebrew nation. The pieces of mony signify Moses and Aaron, through whose mediation the Hebrews were brought out of 2. The cat denotes the Assyrians, by whom the Ten Tribes were carried into cap tivity. 3. The dog is symbolical of the Babylon ians. 4. The staff signified the Persians. 5. The fire indicates the Grecian Em pire under Alexander the Great. 6. Tbe water betokens the Koman or the fourth of the great monarchies to whom the Jews were subjected. 7. The ox is a symbol of the fearacens, who subdued Palestine, and brought it under the chaliphate. ö. 1 he butcher that killed the ox denotes the Crusaders by whom the Holy Land was wrested out ot the bands of the Saracens. 9. The angel of death signifies the Turkish power, by which the land of Palestine was taken from the Franks, to whom it is still subject. 10. The commencement of the tenth stanza is designed to snow that God will taks signal ven creance on tbe Turks, imme diately after whose overthrow the Jews are to be restored to their own land, and live under the Government of their long-expected .Messiah. Definitions of Old Words and Phraae. I Torney Progress. 1 Envy, to see, signifies looking at in a contrary condition. It is one of the basest of the passions. The envious man never rests easy or quiet, but is always repining or grieving at the fuccess of another, and striving to pull Mm down to hu own lovel, aye would trample him in the dust to be above him. An envious man will damage himself to do another mischief, as he did in Eop. lose one eye willingly that his fellow might lose both. No greater pain can come to him than to hear of another man's welldoing. 'Tis the dagger at the heart of every such, object. Even in friendship, the chain of union and good feelings, the links are often broken by the gnawing evil spirit envy. A great and good man often rises above the power of envy, and can look down with pity and mercy upon a fallen foe, being above the reach of his poisoned arrows. Envy ia nought more than sonow for other men's good, be it present, past, or to come. 'Tis the beginning of hell in this life, and is a passion not to be excused. Every other sin has some pleasure annexed to it, or will admit of an excuse. Envy alone wants both. "Base envy withers at another's joy, And hates that excellence It can not reach.' Malice, bad, signifies the very essence of badness lying in the heart. Malice is properly the love of evil for evil's sake. A malicious man will hunt for every opportunity, and employ it to his pleasure, to. injure another for the sake of doing no. It is a deepseated passion, and can only be at rest when it has accomplished its purpose, or has the object of its pursuit under its power and at its mercy. A malicious man is always to be feared, for he will take covert means to work his end, and often use soft and insinuating manners to beguile yeu ad lead vou astray from what be intends, lie will only be open in his movements when he is sure of his prey and conquest u certain. Malice is the bane of society, the monster of iniquity, and the defiler of all good and noble deeds. "Dnncsn is in hl R-rav; After life's fitful f-rer a sleep well; Treason ha done hl warst; nor Steel, nor poison, malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing can toach him further." Hatred, hot, signifies the heat of passion. It is often passive, as when it is satisfied in knowing and seeing its object unhappy or miserable without doing anything to make it &o. We hate another for some injury he has done us, or some benefit he prevented us from doing ourselves. "When malice becomes violent it breaks out into rage, im-

mortal enmity, persecution, as the Orleans and Burgundy in France, Ctesar and Pompey in Rome, York and Lancaster in England,subverting not only men and families, but even populous cities. Emulation, a contest, signifies the spirit of contention. Emulation may be either in a good or bad sense and action. When it is exercised and employed to do good and to attain what is worthy and excellent, it is commendable, and should be encouraged and have its force;but when it is used to beat another, to supplant him for the sake of doing so and what he can gain by it by bad means and bad ends, then it should b condemned and discouraged. When Richard I. and Philip of France were fellow-soldiers together at the siege of Aeon, in the Holy Land, and Richard had approved himself to be the more valiant man, insomuch that all eyes were upon him, it so galled Philip that he cavilled at all his proceeding?, and fell at length to open defiance, invaded his territories and professed open war. Then it is that malice is the "saw, the moth of the soul." An"ger, to act against, to vex, is always a harsh feeling, and sometimes ri.-es to vehemance and madness. It may be either a selfish or disinterested passion; it may be provoked by injury done to ourselves, or injustice done to others. "Herod, in a fit of anger, became mad. leaping from his bed he killed Jo6sipfus' Fear is to feel a shuddering at, is an n action of the will; it make3 cowards of us

Lall.' "The good v o oft might win wa.1o by fearing to attempt. "Fint Fear his hnd In skill to try. Amid the chords bewilder'd laid. And buck recoiled, he knew not why, E'n at the sounds himself had made. Next Anger rushed, his eyes on fire, In Iibtning9 own'd his secret lings, In one rud claah he struck the lyre. And swept with hurried hands th itringi." How happy might we be, and end our time with blessed days and sweet content, if we could contain ourselves; and, as we ought to do, put up with injuries, learn humility, meekness, patience, forget and forgive, and forgive, and have peace with all men. "From all blindness of heart, from pride, vain glory, and hypocrisy, from envy, hatred, and malice, good Lord deliver us." Poor means small, needy, neces-itous. The poor man whose lile is in the right, though deprived of many pleasures and enjoyments, yet if he restricts his wants within the bounds f his means, and is content, he is rich, indeed. "With a life well-spent, he can lie down on his pillow and rest in sweet slumber and pleasant dreams. What be has he got by his earnings and by the sweat of his brow; he feels the "soul's calm sunshine and the heartfelt joy." Iiis family care for him and lighten his labors by their loving kindness, their comfort and pleasure to make him Lappy, cheerful and contented. His trials and tribulations, though hard and grating, yet do not defile his soul, warp his mind, or:log his tastes. He is not alloyed by impurities, nor degraded by baseness. He may be cast in the lion's den. but would . some out unhurt. Fierceness will be tamed. Goodness and virtue will rise triumphant o vr vice. Uiches mean a kingdom, the act of ruling; bee suse riches and jower are intimately connec The rich man whse life is in ac cord with good principles, duty and justness, can a lways be proud and happy in possessing aiinl using bis meaus to improve the morals and manners of society, and advance its good wlorks. It is only the penurious, the narrow minded, elf opinionated, self-concerned, who are vain in their boastings and useless in their practices. The anxiety of the rich to retain what they have and add to their store, disturbs their minds and makes them unhappy, discontented, and orten miserable. A poor fellow went to hang himself, but finding by chance a pot of money, flung away the rope and went merrily home; but he that had hid the gold, when he missed it, hanged himself with that rope which the other man had left. . If the poor and rich would feel dependent upon one acother, and act in agreement and harmony, the best results would be secured. Judge J. S. Black is a firm believer In old-time orthodoxy. Some one remarked in his presence that the lines that formerly divided people in regard to religious matters were fading out.
