SONO OF THE SEASON'S.

I love the new-born, fragrant spring, For then the flowers, too, have their birth The birds returning sweetly sing. And resurrectiou comes t earth; Then in the daiy-panKlcd lane, Beneath the silver moon and star, court my queenly Marv Jane. And scotTat ague and catarrh. love the summer with it glow. For then, with Mary at my side, I sit upon the iwtifo And ask her if she'l! be my bride; And as she blushii answers "yea," I pounce up-.m the little miss. And in the darkne.v steal away A little truant maiden kiss. I love the autumn U it sere, And let the winds Ik; e'er so chili My bridal and my bri.ieare near; I love. I ljve the autumn still ! Though nature wear a somber mein. And all her creatures seem to wane 'Tis autumn gives t. lae my queen. My own, my jeei It . Mary Jane. I hate the winter with it-? snowIt is the bane of wedded life I've drunk the very drtj;s of woe. For Mary Jane i now my wife; And be it e'er so fold and drear. Each morn at it o'clock or prior. My darling whispers in my ear: "It's time, my love, io build the fire!" THE WIFE'S W Ali1 ES. Hartford Conrant.l "Well, Nottie, what 1 you want?" saiJ Mr. Jarvw to h's vifo, who ttnd looking rather anxiously at him, after he had paid the factory hamla their week's wage. "Why, Donald," she, "I thought tu I naJ worked fur you all the week, 1 would come for my wages, too! You pty Jane $- a week, surely 1 earn that, and 1 would like very much to have it as civ own." rshaw, Nettie, how rdVulous you talk. You know that all I have belongs to you and tht children and don't I furnish the house and everything? What under the aun would vou do with the money if you nad it?" "I know, Donald, that you buy the necessaries for us all, and 1 am willing that you should do so still, but I would like a little money of my very own. WV have been married for fifteen years, and in all that time I do not stem to have earned a dollar. As far as money is concerned, I might as well be a slave. I can not buy a quart of berries, nor a book, without asking you for the money, and I should like to ba a little more independent." Mr. Jarvis, proprietor of Jarvis' mills, worth thousands and thousands of dollars, laughed derisively. " You're a fine one to talk of independence," he said. "If you would -tart out to make your own living you'd fetch up in the Soor-house toon enough, for what could jou o to earn a living? The girls in the factoryknow how to do their work, and they earn their wages. AVhc-n I have paid them my duty is done, but I have to board and clothe you, and take care of you when you are sick. If I had to do that for the girls I would have precious little money left, I can tell you." 1 "Donald I gave up a good trade when I married you. For five years I had supported myself by it, and many a time since have I envied myself the purse of those days. As for my not earning anything row, I leave it to you to say whether it would be possible to hire another to take my place; and how much do you suppose it would cost to do without me a year? I know thegirlj have little after paying their expenses, but they enjoy that litt'.e so rauh. Allie Watson sup)orts herself and her mother with her wnges. and they both dress better than I do. Jennie Hart is helping her father pay off the mortgage on his farm, and she is so happy that she can do so. Even Jane the kitchen girl has more freedom than I, for out of her own money she is laying by presents for her relatives, and willsend them Christmas, as much to her own pleasure as theira. Yesterday an Indian woman wa? at tho house with such handsome bead work to Söll, and although I wanted so.ne money so much, I had not a dollar! I felt like crying when Jane brought in her week's wages and bought half a dozen articles that that I wanted so much. You often say that all you have is mine, but üvo dollars would have given mo more pleasure yesterday than your hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property did." No doubt ot that, .Mrs. Jarvis. You have no idea of the value of money, and would have enjoyed buying a lot of bead trash that would not be worth a cent to anybody. Jane needs a guardian if she fools away her money like that. She will be in the County poor-house yet if she don't look out. It's very lucky, indeed, that men do hold the money, for there's not one woman in a hundred who knows how to use it!' "For shame, Donald Jarvis I You know better. Look at Jerry and Milly Creg. will vou, and say that he makes the best u?e of lis money. " She is at home with her parents every night, making her wageB go K3 far as possible toward making them comfortable, while he is carousing in the village, wasting his time and money, and making & brute of himself besides. And why does Mrs. Sarton come to receive her husband's wages herself ? Simply because he can not cet bv the saloon with money in his pocket, and if she did not get the money they would all go hungry to bed after his wages were paid. And I believe that every woman that earns money here, spends it as wisely as the average man, and I have yet to hear of one of them being in dett. Mr. Jarvis knew that he could not gainsay . woid his wife had said, for thev were all true. Luckily he thought of Jane. a Well, how much do you suppose Jane will have left when New Year comes? If she would get sick how long could she pay lor care such as you have? "It is not likely she will lay up many dollars out of a hundred a year; but she is laying up something better, I think. Last winter she sent her mother a warm shawl und a pair of shoe?, and to her brother and sister, new school books, and the warm, loving letters they send her do her more good than .wice the amount of money in the bank would. This year she is laying by a number of useful and pretty things for them, and if any misfortune should happen to Jane they would only be too glad to help ler. "Well, who do you suppose would help you if you needed help?" said Mr. Jarvis, for want of a better question. Mrs. Jarvis eyes sparkled angrily a) she answered: "Nobody. If you should lose your property tö-day I should be a beggar, without a claim on any one for help. You have always held your purse-strings so tightly that it has been hard enough to ask for my orn necessities, leaving others out altogether. Many a time a dollar or two would have enabled me to do some poor man or woman untold good, but although you have always aid that all your property waa mine, I never could and can not now command a dollar of it." Lucky you couldn't, if you wanted to spend it on beggars.' "Donald, you know that I would spend money as wisely as you do. Who was it that, only last week, gave a poor lame beggar five dollars to pay his way to Burton and then saw him throw his crutches aside and make for the nearest saloon? Your wife could not do worse if trusted with a few dollars. You eay that the money is all mine, yet you epend it as you please, while I can not spend a dollar without asking you for it and telling what I want it for. Any beo-trar can iret in the same way! Christmas you bought presents for us and excected us to do tnaniviui tor mem. a bawl for me ot the verv co.or I can not

wear, a set of furs for Lucy that she did not need, a drum for Ilobin that has been a nuisance ever since, and a lot of worthless toys that are broken up in a week. There were forty or fifty dollars of my money just . the same ai thrown away, yet when I ask jou to trust me with two dollars a week you can not imagine what use I have for it, and feir it will la wwUd, I &m sure I could

not spend fifty dollars more foolishly if I tried." 'Well," snapped tho proprietor, "I guess it is my own money, and I can spend it as I please. I guess you'll know it, too, when you get another present.' 'Oh, it is your money then. I understood you to say that it was all mine, and pretended to protest against your spending it so foolishly. If it is your own, of course you have a right to spend it as you pleaso, but it seems to mo that a woman who left parents and brothers and sisters, and all her friends, to make a home for you among strangers, a woman who has given her whole life to you for fifteen years, might be looked upon with as much favor as you give to beggars, who are very likely to be impostors. I know that you seldom turn them off without help. Perhaps I would be more successful if I appealed to you as a beggar. I might say: Kind sir, please allow me out of your abundant means a small pittance for my comfort. It is true I have enough to eat, and do not suffer for clothing; but, although I work fcr my mas-ter from morning to night, and if his children happen to be sick, from night until morning again, yet he does not pay me & much as he does his cook, and I am often greatly distressed for want of a trifling sura which he would not mind giving to a perfect stranger. Tho other day while he was from home, I had to go to the next station to tee a dear friend who was ill, and not

bavins a dollar of my own, I was obliged to borrow the money from his cook. I was so mortiSed ! And not long since the berrywoman came with such nice berries to sell, and my littlo girl who was not well, wanted me very baaiy, Dut i naa not even nve cents to pay lor a handful lor her. l esterday a friend came to ask me to assist in a work of charity. It was a worthy object, and I longed so much to give her a little money for so good a purpose, but though the wifd of a rich man 1 naa no money, ut w . 1 1 1 J - - course I migm asK my nusoana ior money, and if I told him about what I wanted with it, and he approved of my purpose, and was in good humor, he would give it to me; but, . . . A L A 1 sir, u is terribly siavisn to nave to ao so, even if I could run to him every time I wanted anything. People say 1 am a for tunate woman because 1 am rich; but 1 often envy the factory girls their ability to earn and spend tueir own money. And sometimes 1 cetso wild thinking of my help lessness that if it were not for my children I think I would just drop into the river and end it all. 'Nettie! Nettie Jarvis! What are you saying?" cried the startled husband at last, lor the far away look in her eves as it 6ne did not sec him, b it was looking to some higber power to help her, touched his pride if it did not his heart, for he had a good deal of pride in a selfish sort of a wav. He was proud to be able to support his iamuy as well as he did. lie was proua that wnen his children needed new 6hoes ho could tell his wife to take them to Crispin's and get what they needed. lie did it with a flour ish. He was not one of those stingy kind; he liked to spend money: and when Nettie, who was once the most spirited young lady of his acquaintance, came meekly to him for a dress or a cioaK, ne was sometimes temptea to refuse her money just to show her how helpless she wa3 without him. Yes, he was proud of hia family, and wanted tnem to feel how much they depended upon him. He would have felt aggravated if anyone had left his wife a legacy, thus allowing her to be independent in her purse. The idea of her earning money, as his other workfolks did, never entered his mind. He "supported her," that was his idea of their rela tions! He never had happened to think that it was very good of her to take his money and spend it for the good ol nimseit and children. He never had thought that any other woman would have wanted big pay for doing it. He had even thought himself very generous for allowing her money to get things to make the family comfortable. Thing began to look differently to him just now. Could it be that he was not generous, not even ju?t to his wife! Had he paid her so poorly for her fifteen year3 of faithful labor for him that if she had been obliged too bejin the world for herself that day, it would have been as a penniless woman, notwithstanding the houses, the lands and mills that he had so often told her were all hers; for he knew, as every one else did, that not one dollar of all he had would the law allaw her to call her own. How fast he thought, standing there at the office window looking down at the little houses where the mill hands lived. Could it be possible that his wife envied them anything? Could it be that ho was not as good a man as he thought? He h?.d felt deeply the wrongs of the slave?, whose labors had been appropriated by their masters, and when a negro who had worked twenty years for his master before the emancipation freed him, came to Jarvis mills, friendless and penniless, the heart of the proprietor swelled with indignatiou at such injustice. He was eloquent on-the subject, at home and abroad, and wondered how any one could be so cruel and selfish as to commit such an outrage against justice. He had called him a robber many a time, but now Donald Jarvis looked to himself very much like the old slaveholders! Massa lirown had taken the proceeds ot Cuffee's labor for his own without even a "thank you" for it. True, when Cuffee ate he had given him food, when he was sick he had given him medicine, and he , . .1 1 1 ' a. S A V v.! . finlf naa cioinea mm, loo, jubi as he himself thought best. Mr. J.irvis had married a lovely, conscientious woman, and for fifteen years had appropriated her labors. Her recompense had been food and clothes, such as he thoueht best for her; a little better than Cuffee's perhaps, but the similarity of the cases did not please him. He had ex pected his wife to be very grateful for what he had done for her, but now he wondered that she had not rebelled long ago. Had his life been a mistake? Had his wife no more money or liberty than Cuffee had in bondage? Was Donald Jarvis no better than Mass a Brown? His brain seemed tobe in a muddle, and he looked so strangely that his wife, anxious to break the spell, took his arm, saying, "Let us go home, dear, tea must be waiting for us." He put on his hat in a dreamy way and then walked home insilence. Tho children ran joyously to meet him. The yard was so fresh and green, and the flowers so many and bright that he wondered ho had never thanked Nettie lor them all. Hitherto he had looked upon them as his, but now he felt that his interest in them was only a few dollars, that would not have amounted to anything without his wife's care. His children wero tidy and sweet, and everything around and in the house had that cheery look that retted him so after the hard, dull day at the mill. They sat again at the table, which had been a source of comfort and pleasuro to him for so many years, and ho wondered how he could have enjoyed it so long without ever thanking the woman who had provided it. Truo.she had used his money in bringing it all about, but how elso could his money be of use to him? Who else could have turned it into just what he needed day after day for years? And ho began to have an undefined feeling that it took more than money to make a home. He glanced at his wife's face as he buttered his last slice of bread. It was not that of the fair, rosy bride whom ho had brought to the mills years before, but at that moment he realized it was far more dear to him, for he knew that she had given the bloom and freshness of her vouth to make his home what it was. His daughters had her rose-leaf cheeks, his sons her youthful vivacity, all had her cheerful, winsome wavs. r,nd comforted him now as she had in those days when, hardly know in? what care meant, she had lived for him C7 ' alone. And a new thought came to him, ''Who w-jut comfortin? her now when she had so much care? Was not that what be prom ised to do when he brought her from her old home?" Hesitrhed as he thoueht how far he had drifted from her, while In bondage

equal to Cuffee's. Nay, he felt that her claims were far more binding than any whieh had ever held the negro, and 'that his obligations to her were so much the greater. Something called the children out of doors, and Mr. Jarvis took his easy-chair. Iiis wife came and stood beside him. "I fear you are not well, Donald; are you displeased with me?" He drew her into his arms and told her how her words had showed him what manner of man he was, and there were words spoken that need not be written, but from that day forth a different man was proprietor of the Jarvis mill, and there was a brighter light in Mrs. Jarvis' eyes, for at last she had something of her own, nor has she regretted that she "applied for wages." An Old Lad'i Recollect lana.

One day in the latter part of the eighteenth century, says the New Orleans Picayune, a numoer of young men were playing dice in a fashionable gambling saloon in the Island of San Domingo. Near a table at which two youthful players were engaged stood an elderly, handsome man, a Marquis of France. At a certain stage of the game a dispute arose, and the point in controversy was referred to the gentleman standing by for arbitration. His decision enraged one of the players; hot words ensued, and the gambler struck the noble in tho face. The Marquis said, sternly, "Only blood can efface the stain of this insult." The young man, repenting of his folly, was profuse in apologies, but the Marquis remained obdurate, and replied: 'We bhall send for two pistols; one shall be loaded'and the other empty. We, blindfolded, shail choose our weapons and fire." The pistols were sent for, the fateful choice made, and the loaded weapon fell to the lot of the noble. That day the lifeless body of the young gambler was borne from the dicers1 table. Such was the Chevalier de Sevre, a Marquis of France, one of the richest nobles on the Island of San Domingo. In those terrible days of the massacre the chevalier fell under the knife of the infuriated blacks. The Marquiso escaped in disguise with her daughter, a child, and found a refuge in Philadelphia, where she subsequently married Mr. De Ureuit, a rich merchant. There Mile, de Sevre grew up a lovely young girl. At that timethere were many French ofticers in America. One of them, Colonel David became enamored of the beautiful young Creole, married her and took her to France, where he introduced her at tho Court of Josephine. Of this union were born two daughters. Cecilia Agnes Gertrude David and Marie Pauline The first was born at Tours in 1804, and christened at tho great Cathedral at that city. Her godfather was the Baron de Vaublan, and her godmother the Countess de St. Leon. General David served in the Italian campaign underJNapolcon as an Adjutant Commandant. He was a favorite of the Cortican, who, during the Egyptian campaign, presented him with a magnificent sword. After his death, in 1816, Miss David returned to Philadelphia, married a wealth' American and came South. A few days ago the writer had the pleasure of visiting this lady on Jackson ttroet in New Orleans. Though seventy-six veirs of age, she looks scarcely sixty, and retains still the traces of that beauty which attracted the admiration of all who beheld her in her youth. When asked to describe tome of the scenes she had witnessed, the lady said: "Yes, I saw Napoleon I. once, with my father, General David, Tuileries. and he pointed out to I went to the me the I was Emperor walking in the garden. quite a child then. My father told My father told me to look at the great man. and to cry, 4 Vive l'Empereurl' When I did so, he slapped mo, and said: 'I am not mad with you, but I wish this to make an impression on you.' " "On another occasion, when I was going to Versailles, I saw Louis XVIII. 1 was in a nunnery at Versailles, and afterward went to live at Bordeaux. There I saw the daughter of Marie Antoinette, the Duchess of Angouleme, who had just returned to France. All I can remember of this scene is that there was a great crowd, and that the horses were taken from the carriage, which was pulled by men. The reins were ribbons, which were held by young ladies, who were covered with fleurs de lis. "One day when I was a girl of fifteen, a beautiful lady came in a carriage to visit my grandmother, Madame de Breuil, who recognized the visitor, whom she had not seen for years. It was Madame Jerome Bonaparte. The Marquise 6aid: I hear that you are married to an Italian Prince.' No,' she replied haughtily, 'I am Madame Bonaparte, and I will die Madame Bonaparte. The woman married to my husband is not his wife. I am.' 'I saw Joseph Bonaparte many. times; he often came to visit the Marquise. I have often heard my grandmother say he w&s one of the most unassuming men she- ever met, and Jerome was just like a boy. It was difficult for him to become dignified when occasion demanded." Living Like Beasts in Holes and Dem In the Forest CorrMpondence London World. On Monday morning, the 18th of September, I was in the town of Dulverton, preparing to attend the meet of the Devon and Somerset Staghounds. The stag did not fulfill the desire of "all true hearts," but, avoiding the purple expanse of Exmoor made for the mcturesoue woodlands that clothe the vally of the Barle. In Dulver ton town itself, however, before setting out for Anstey Barrows, I happened upon something human, wilder than the wild deer, less pleasant to contemplate, and, as l sub sequently discovered, much less comfortably harbored. The contrast between that which I had come to see and that which I chanced upon was at once picturesque and painful. On the morninff of a hunt in its vicinity Dri ver ton wakes up out of the sleep which is its normal condition. Especially in tne yard of the Lion and the broad street in front of that hostlery, there h a contagious commotion. There is the stamping ot many hoofs. There is the clang ot buckets on the cobbles, accompanied by the constant his?-'-" of grooms. Conversation is raised to a wonderful height. Here and there is a glimpse of pink. There is a nleasant variety in the attire of the sportsmen; stout tweed, more pretentious i ... Melton and occasional corduroy being con spicuous varieties. L very where glitters the variety varnish ol the hunting boots ana the eye is pained as the sun shines on the dazzling whiteness of the hunting breeches. Stout cobs are mounted by farmers. Hunters showy and hunters useful n led out for more opulent followers of the chase, and even lads are bestriding the famous ponies of Exmoor. There is lighting of cigars, filling of flasks, interchange of civilities, and in the midst of the inspiriting bustle all look contented, well fed and expectant. Suddenly for I did not see them coming there glided, or "slouched," I had rather 6ay, between me and this group three human beings, a man, a woman and a child. They proceeded in single file and in dead silence, the woman following at a distance of three feet behind the man, the girl bringing up the procession at a similar distance from the woman. In the faces of each there was an eager, hungry, hunted look, and I became somehow impressed with the notion that they were incapable of laughter. They kept a straight march, but their eyes glanced fur tively about and there was a hesitation in the step of each, as though they deemed it impossible that the preparing sportsmen might at any moment take it into their heads to turn around and hunt them. The man, a tall, gaunt, expressionless creature was in a tat of many-windowed raggednees. And it was apparent that beneath tbe draggled and dirty trappings of the

females there was no underclothing, their ga rments "CUogiDg like ceremsnti." Appearing thus, sudden, sullen and silent, in the midst of much bustling jollity, there was something striking and uncanny in the apparition. It was an impersonation of filth, fear and famine. I inquired who they were and what their avocations. No one seemed particularly interested in their existence. But I ascertained that the man's name was 'Wild Will;" that the woman was his wife and the girl bis daughter; by frofession they were charcoal burners, and ived ''somewhere in the woods." But there was other game afoot, and the excitement of the chase soon drove away all thought of the curious three. In my dreams, however, I was haunted by visions of the gaunt, ungainly figures, and determined, if possible, to see what manner ot dwelling was that habitation of theirs "somewhere in the woods." Accompanied by a friend, I afterward made the little expedition. Leaving Dulverten we kept the right-band bank of the Barle going up the river, and came in half an hour to Marsh Bridge, where at this we left the road and struck across a meadow, still keeping up the stream. Beyond the meadow was a turnip-field, and beyond the turnip-field a rude fence. Climbing this we found ourselves in a wood, and with a little difficulty found the track of Wild Will and his companions for there are two other men in the little colony of charcoal-burners. A walk of a few hundred yards through a dense wood brought us to the habitations of the charcbal-burners. They are three in num. ber, placed on a plateau, from which a small stretch of grass slopes toward the river. The first erection on the plateau has an outer fence of between seven and eight feet in height. It is made of stakes attached by strong binders, the lower interstices being filled with mud and stones, the higher ones with platted bay, straw and bracken. After a little search we dL-cove'ed the entrance to the inclosure. It was a hurdle of the fence and made in exact likeness to it. We carefully removed it and stood within the inclosure, which is perfectly level and black with charcoal ashes, a heap of which stands in the center giving it a peculiar odor. Lying about are the iron utensils the ordinary three-legged pots of the farm-house. The inclosure is about twenty-five foet long by tweitty in width. In three corners of the inclosure one of tho sides of which is formed of a hill which springs from the plateau are three sties, less roomy with less light and more villainously ventilated than the buildings accorded by Somerset farmers to their pigs. The largest of theso hovels is at its highest part eight feet, at its lowest two feet. The aidt s are made of clay and stones; the roof is composed of logs, binders and straw,' on which grow moss and stonecrop and will barely fdniit a human being, crawling on all-fours. Wild Will is, however, a being of attenuated anatomy, and may manage it with ease. I stooped down and put my head into his bedchamber. Faugh! Straw and hay upon which to sleep must be purchased or rtolen; and those people being poor and as I am informed, honest, do not often indulge in the luxury of a change of straw. In the opposite corner is another sleeping apartment of similar dimensions, occupied by the mother, and the third is the resting placo of the girl. This is made of hurdle leaning against the fenc-j, well covered and warm,I have no doubt, in the summer. It stands two feet six inches at its greatest elevation, and vanishes to an acute angle. A few rags drying in tho sun, an old hat quaintly oscillating on the top of a stake, the outer leaves of a recently devoured cabbage, and the iron pots are all that testify to the fact of human existence. Leaving the inclosure, and replacing the Irardle

at the entrance, we are iree again io aumire the situation, and to note the unerring instinct of the savage in its selection. Thero was 1110 nign, Sloping panic oeninu, lonmag a protection from all ungentle winds; the trecä utilized as supports anxi serving as cover, however scanty, the small patch of meadow and, beyond, tne brown stillness of the trout pools. I discover on inquiry certain lacts, lor the accuracy of which I can not, however, vouch; these people are not thieves; that they are not beggars; that during four months of the year each man in the little community makes about ten shillings a week ; that during the other eiht months ''they live, God knows how;' that there were two children in the encampments &t one tune; that now there is only one, and that if the other died 4,some where in the woods" there is no register that contains the record of its name. Within four miles of Dulverton town there are living half a dozen human bei n es who are outside the cognizance of governments, imperial or local, beyond the operations of philanthropic and religious influences, and burrowing in holes like the wild things of the forest.
