I opened my writmg-ee, and carefully took out a little carte de visite wrapped in tissue paper, and tenderly laid it away with a pink silk perfened satchel that M'unie had xuade for me once. It was Cecilia's picture ; she had allowed me to steal it away from her, with scarcely a remonstrance, a week before. Then was the time I ought to have proposed ; but, like the timorous, doubting moon-calf that I was, I had let the golden tide of opportunity slip away fron me. I drew Bessie Armitage's vacant, dolllike face from its envelope, and compared the two with a thrill of triumph in my heart. 4 Colorless water beside crimson, sparkling champagne ! a pale violet in .1 , , m 1 , ine siiaoow 01 a rovai rose : pearls : eclipsed by the fiery flash of diamonds!" I exclaimed. " Henry Wallis' taste may , be orrect and ciaioal, but give me my radiant brunette ! These bleaehod-ont j heanties don't correspouJ with my ideal 1 of perfection." It was a lovely spring evening as I j entered the white graveled path ' that led up to the lroad porch , of the old-fashioned Veruou mansion. I Squire Vernon sat there smoking his meerschaum. ' Won't you sit down and have a smoke?" he demanded, hospitably. " It's a real luxury to be able to take a whirl out of doors, after Wing shut up in the houst all the winter. Or may be you'd prefer going in to fee 1 Cecil?" ' BwMÜMl 1 Id gentleman ! he had not forgotten his own young days. I intimated that the special object of my visit had been to ' see Cecil" "Well, she is in the parlor, all by herself," said the S-jnire, good-huniored-ly. " Walk in walk in. " Cecelia ernon was sitting in the par-, lor alone, as her father had said, the bright center of a cheerful circle of lamplight. A bit of crochet work was lyin? in hfcr lap, and au open volume of poenis poems I had sent her was on the table. Cecilia Vernon was always fair to look upon in my sight ; to-night, however, she seemed more than ordinarily bwaatttaL I sat down, and began hesitatingly upn the never-failing topic of the weather. A proix)sal had seemed the easiest thing in the odd as I walked along the devry edg.-s of the peaceful, star-lighted road, contemplating, it from afar off; but now that I was facing it, Alps upon Alps of difficulty and perplexity seemed lo Surround its accominishm. nt. I would have given all tnat I was worth to postpone the evil day bnt twenty-four hours--all m but my self-respect, and that was imperiled now. Cecilia tried her lxst to keep the ball of conversation in motion ; she introduced new subjects, asked leading questions, and feigned deep interest in ! the most abstruse of topics. But even Cecilia couldn't talk on forever, and presently, with a Uttle sigh of despair, she subsided into silence. Now was the eventful moment of my destiny. Cecilia !" I said, softly. She raised the liquid brown eyes to I mine. " I want to confide iu yon to-night-have I ymir permission to sieak ?" "Certainly, Mr. Marknam.

I drew my chair close to her 'a, with the sensation of a man who has just pulled the string of a cold hoWtr.i,atil Who is the lady?" faltered Cecilia ; as if she did not know erfeetly well already. M Shall I show you her pirture, Cecilia?" Miss Veruou inclined her head almost to the level of my shoulder, to look at . . - UM little carte de visite I drew from mv packet. I skillfully stole one arm round her waist. "See, dearest !" But, to my horror and dismay, she snatched her hand from my clasp, sprang up, and started away, like some fair avenging goddess ! " How dare you insult me thus, Mr, Mark! mm ?" " Cecilia I how what " " Don't presume to call me Cecilia, j sir?" sobbed the indignant girl, burst -! ing into tears, and sweeping from the I room. I set hke one palsied. What had I do! e ? Why was the gracious mood of ! my enchantress thus suddenly trausi formed to gall and bitterness? Surely . presently return ami a polo- ! gize for her capricious eit ? But she , r , . ... did not return ; and after waiting long in vain, I sneaked out of a side door, and crept dejectedly home, my heart burning with wouder and resentment. I had no mind to meet the assembled family group ; so I admitted myself with the latch key, and stole noiselessly up stairs, where my lanip still burned the lamp I had lighted with such high and bounding hoies ! I threw off my coat viciouslv; as I did so the forgotten carte de visite dropjH-d from my ixx-ket. I stooped to pick it up. It was the portrait of Bessie Armitage! And thei" on the mantel, where in my heedless haste I had left it, was the divine countenance of my queen, Cecilia ! I had shown her the wrong photograph ! All was clear now ! Her indignation aud resentment the whole tangled web of mystery was unraveled now ; 1 caught up my hat to rush back to her, but at that moment the clock struck eleven ! It was too late now. All ajxili.gy and explanation must be deferred until the morrow. And with a discontented spirit I sought my c uch. Early the next morning I walked over to the old Vernon mansion; but, exped:ti. .us as I was, Trefoil had been there lefore me. I met him coming whistling down the walk as self-possessed as ever. "Good morning!" I said, briefly, endeavoring to pass him ; but he detained me. "Congratulate me, my dear ftUow ! I am the happiest man in the world. Cecilia Vernon has just promised to be 1 mv wife I stared blankly at him, and with one or two unintelligible murmurs, turned j round short and walked home again. ' My rival had improved the propitious , opiwrtunity, and caught Cecilia's heart ! HI the rebound ! Well so goes the world, and I am a bachelor yet. There is but one Cecilia, and she, alas ! is married to Fitzhugh Trefoil ! Mirrors. The amalgam, or tin foil which is spread on plate glass to form mirrors is readily crystallized by the rays of the sun. A mirror where the sun can shine on it is usually spoiled. It takes a granulate.! appearance, familiar to housekeepers, though they may not 1e acquainted with its cause. In such n state the article is nearly worthless ; the continuity of its surface is detnyed and it will not reflect outlines with any approach to precision. Care should therefore le exercised in hanging. If any of our readers have mirrors which apjiear to bi spoiling, it would be well to ascertain whether the direct sunlight strikes them. If thus cxjosed, theycau probably lie saved from further injury by siuiplv changing their position. The back, as well as the front, must be protected. The most famous as well ns the most gigantic corporation of the age is about to be dissolved namely, the East India Company. Steps have leou taken to give notice officially through the British House of Commons that its hour has come. It has had a history identified with the reign of England in the East, and, its mission for good or evil having leen accomplished, it is aliout to pass away among the things that were. Its story written by Macanlay or Fronde would le one of the most interesting and instructive in the annals of time.

The Salt Lake Trilmiu , rcferiing to President Young's resignation, says The recent moves of Mr. Vouug iu re signing me- rresi.tencv ot the various gigantic mercantile operations of the Territory, which lu've heretofore bud his entire ecclesiastical influence and the consequent support of the whole Mormon )Mpulatiou, are really of greater significance than they first appear to the causual observer, and certainly have another interpretation brniil the MM assigned by Mr. Young iu his nt'ent dispatch to the New York ll rnhi. Hitherto all these various speculations have been maintained and sustained chiefly through Mr. Young's personal financial standing abroad, which is well known to be A 1 everywhere, a fact we think uo one will dispute, nud the fact that he has leen known as the President of Z. C. M. I. and other great enterprises bus been sufficient to establish u credit abroad to almost au unlimited amount. Business relations with Mormon merchants will be governed hewaftcr by the same rules as are applied to the " Gentiles." Iu other words, Co-op and other church monopolies will stand 011 au entirely different basis, and be simply recognized as the speculations of a few Mormon capitalists, such as Hooper, Jennings, Eldridge, Sharp. Little, and a few others. CLOTHES OS FI UK. Three persons out vi four would push right up to the burning individual and begin to paw with their hands without any defiuite aim.

OmtU ma, I used to be very much annoyed by th"se painful excresences called "corns," on j tu0 fmd feet, until I was tdd of a , v'7 simple but effectual remedy for j them by some person. It was to bathe j t,,e teet iu to soften them ; then pan them off very closely with a sharp knife ; then rub on well green peach-tree leaves ; when, after continuing the nibbing once or tw ice a day, the corns will entirely disappear, and not return, without the cause which first occasioned them. I have often tried the remedy, and never yet found it to fail. It MMM to 1h the prussic acid in the peach-tree leaves that takes them away. A good corn salve could no doubt be made for winter use, by bruising the peach-leaves when green ; then lxil them in water until the strength is extracted ; then take out the leaves, strain the water off the sediment, and add a sufficient quantity of resin, leeswax, tallow and lard oil to make it soft enough, and simmer down, without buniI nig, until the water is evaporated. Soften and pare the com, as before directed, spread it on a small piece of 1 cambric or linen, and apply, putting on the sock or stocking carefully, so as not to rub it off. Keep applying until the corn disappears. The Flow or Sap. Prof. Collins says : The water of the sap comes from the ground, being imbibed by the roots. A considerable quantity of starch is stored up in the wood of the tree in t!:o fall, and this in the spring is changed to sugar and dissolved in the water taken in bv the roots. Whv sap will flow at 'in MNMmR llIHl fJWV MMMMI 'v,oiuui l to the w ind or weather, is not well understornl. Starch and sugar are very near- ! ly the same in coniHsition ; sugar only I contains n little more water, chemically united, not simply mixed 1 ith it.
