The ni'Tn scene was a prettily furnished n the home of a thrivin city ir.enha, the tlrmniii prfon the iff , ooewhat inclined to be willful ".d determined, as wives sometimes ire, and a husband equally determined. 4 There's no ue urging me, Everett," said Mrs. Arc-hrr, driven to the point of dt -pirate re-i-tsncp, " I tell yn once t7 ail, no earthly power can move me. You m. t go :f vu with, I shall stay lure." But, my dear, do listen to reason," urgtd tbe nus'i inl, how can I help ii-elf. Now thttt my partner is dead, tue l-usine !tiiiriJ my presence. Nr. oaf can atund to ii as I can, and it wul tike me at least a year to get f.rb'gklentd. Th-n Walters writes me tht ;'e climate is delicious, and khe yjrrtKiDi'ini- beautiful." Mr. Archer tapped her foot. Now lntv are was of tapping the foot that are quiie as significant fs language it-m-L', and t h Ls was a motion that was .sy v interpret; Mrs. Archer rta.iy nad unqualifiedly acgrj-. was I She a.wis was when UalUrs was menIk ml, at.! though ordinarily rather n l sr.d''r.e woman, at that moment her fj e &aed p'isitivelv ilisagTeeable. "Tfcat Walters!" ehe articulated pnular.lly he is perfectly horrible; i Itevtr i.id tine kirn. Why cao't he i U p urjing ) mi to go to thai heathen p.x-e 1 wish he would die. " Wouldn't alter the matter tho least in U wt.rld, my dear, if he died 4o- , lut rrvw. Indeed, in that cae il would bf ;. reparative on me to start as soon a ! tLe news vaiue, as he is taking care of hrsjf-ss for me, so don't be foolish. Err nra. Ut show your usual good judg-li-rt." 44 KolL-di! tps, women are always 1 4k-th when thy don't see. just as you rr.e-w do," retorted Mrs. Archer, more si.gTily than before. 44 You know, F.rervu, tbat when I make upmv mind, a'l the coaxing in the world won't thatge it. f course, if you n.t go to C'al'dornia, you must, but you will Tiave to Vare iu behind." 44 What will you do, alone?" 4.!at stay.

" Emma, you talk as if w e were bankrupt," a0 Mr. Archer impatiently, as fc wtalkKi the floor, his arms folded and hit fsf sad. He cou'd not give up the that nabi much 1 in that remote region, than his city aiTair, which he could leave In good Kr.d He nad always lieen aware that his wife was devoted in her attachment to particular l-M-aliti, hut had not sir anied that she would so determinedly oppose his wishes in this matter. The huus could be rented lust as it was and bring in a fair income. He had hoped ike a holiday to make the trip seem jonrtey and visit, and that his wife migkt in time like the new home better 1 ban the old, but her inflexible resistance heartened him. I a'oout i As lime wore on less was said ti e mailer. He trusted to her a fleet ion ! r him to bring alout a letter state of thij.ga. Of course, he could not be journeying back and forth, as she sim.ed t. expect, thus wasting time
atul stn-nth, but hi heart arhttl wlifu he thought ( the lonelv lumrs in tore for him. He wai a genuine home lover. His n ife and children Mere the dearest Uin:' in the world to Iiim, lut in thi wish of his he was doomed to be thwarted.
(Mi thin one subject his wife was ut - terlv unreasonable While they were talking the matter over one !av, Mrs. Archer in tears as usual, Kthel, the eldest daughter, a lna;itiful jrirl of fourteen, cauie danc in into the room. She paused ud - denlv, oppressed by the atmosphere, astonished to f1 traces cf weeping in her mother's face. "What is the matter?" f.h asked, ! coming forward in the sweet Contidenee of childhiKHl "papa, why is mamma i crying?" ltecause your papa is poing away to leave us all," sobbed the mother, j " I), papa, where aro you oin?" j aked Kthel, prowinsj pale. 44 You must not ;o anywhere wunotit us." There was a silence for a moment. 44 1 don't want to, Ethel I wish to take jou all with me, but mamma will uot consent." 44 But are you going out of the country?' asked Kthei, t ha tear starting to her eyes, as her imagination ran riot among failures and jKssible disgrace j lor ii must be aoraeiuing very pressj Lug to drive him from home, j 44 No, dear to California." i 44(, to California! if all places in ' the world, the one where 1 should mst I like to go! Darling papa, take me with I vou I'm old enough to be company j and I won't be the leat trouble; guall papa? () mamma, tell him I may go;" ami she turned a kindling face I towards Mrs. Archer. ! 11 one was a palpable rebuke to at least of them, this willingness, eagerneas to accompany her father, vnd perhaps his wife felt it. If she did there i was no acknowledgment of the fact in ' her manner. 44 1 our papa is going alone, my dear, the children will stay with me," she said with ?. little air of decision that under the cirenmstances became her so 44 Hut think how lonesome he will lie ! Papa must not go ail by him elf, par- J ; ticularlv when he wants us there are i three of us, I'm sure just one can be i spared. You will let me go, please say j j ns, papa mamtia, don't say no. I'll J ' keep house for him. I'll do every thing . I in the worid to make him happy." Her bright f:oe and graceful ways were like ' balm to the father's pore heart. He: naa not mougni oi mis ining Put wtiy not? " 44 1 can't spare vou, Ethel, and it would be foods hm-M to leave your ' scaooi itr a wuuerness;'' saia ner mother. I 44 There are just as good schools! in California as here.' Mr. Archer responded, thoughtfully. He was i beginning to look upon his exile with more pleasure, as he revolved the ' matter in his mind. 44 Yes, Ethel, you i shall go," he "aid with sudden decision, I after a short pause. j "Mr. Archer! what are you thinking ; of? ' cried his wife aghat. Of something I have not seltishly i considered heretofore," he made reply, 44 my own comfort." His wife knew this, but precisely because he had generally deferred to her wL-hrs in all matters pertaining to household aiiairs, she was indignant, ami even angry to find this taken out of her hands. 44 You c an't be so foolish," she said; remember Ethel is only a child, and quite uninformed. Will you take her away among utter strangers at this j time, when she needs tho Lst companlonstnp, and her mother s guarding care?" "Perhaps her father can guard her wiin equal care," was uii rej-lv. 44At all erents, he has a mind to trv. She , wili not be atnonr stranrrers. either.slie wid have companv enough. Intelligent ana thonnghbrel people live in tali-' . r T I Kirnia, anu v alters s cniniren are cultivated and agreeable." ' "Like their mother, who, I do not forgret, was once Miss Annie IIusse',1," I said his wife, growing a shade paler. 1 44Of course it will he very pleasant to J renew the acquaintance." i "Ethel, dear," said Mr. Archer, ' gravely, "go Into the nursery, I hear 1 )our little brother crying," and as Eth-1 el went out he gave ona elance at his) wife. She, red an I ashamed at the be- j trayal of her knowledge of his youthful I fancy, dared not lilt her eyes, and toth 1 were silent for a time.thinkins: hitter.y 44 1 hate the very name of California. , I always have," she burst forth again. ! " i'ou can't be going to take Ethel; what shall I do without her?" "What shall do without von all f" a.iked Mr. Archer, sternly. ..a. a . . . . "air. Archer, i.luel can rul go; never shall eonsert," sail his wi with renewed decision. "Mr. Archer, Kthel must go;" was the reply, in an unsteady voice. 44 Y'ou have every thing you want, bouse, children. and friends. There is an old. fashioned book whose teachings fay that a woman should leave all for her husband; but I will say nothing of towr duty, now. I have decided, however, to take Ethel; in all other respects, I will, as I have, heretofore done, try to make your will my pleasure." Again tho tears fell silently. None knew better than she how kind and selfsacrificing he had always been, ar.d still none knew better, also, that in this case her determination was fixed not to defer to his judgment, The time of departure came. Ethel went with her father, and the willful wife remained in her desolate home, regretful, yet fully determined not to i relent. Hut she had not counted iijkiu I the love underh ing all her rebellion, I
(ttill lriht and umti in her heart, , though tiftt-ea year of wetltled life h:ut pavetl inco the vows h:nl bven e. i changed whii-h maile them husband urn! j wife. All her occupations seemed worthless now. Her beautiful home no longer satisfied her : her friends found
! her restless, though they eomj'liniontad her upon her 6trunsrth of mind, and declared her a model for her courage in having her own way. Ktlu l's innocent letters were. rall and worm wood to her 1'aua hail found so tnnny o!d friends and tu-im tiutanees, and i seemed o delighted m ith thu beautiful ! country! She was positive that if mart- ' ma could only see the lovely wide avennes, the preat preadin shade trees, if she could taste the luscious fruit, see the noble architecture of this grand city, she would ne.er w ish to go back to the old home never! Mrs. Archer read aud rcllected and sighed. She had begun tx tiud her household duties- arduous and perplexing. To order wood and coal, to at1 tend to all bills and payments, superin tend repairs, was something heretofore entirely without the hounds of her es Cerience, and it is neediest to hay she itterly rued her decision moro thau once, and was only waiting some occasion on which she could sink her pride without doing violence to her dignity. - It wm rather provoking that Kfhe! should be so contented without her. she said more than once, for, following out a wise ami oolitic nlan of his own. he never attempted to bias her judgment, or to persuade her that she would be happier in the newer country, although plainly U traying his own satisfaction at the chnnge. This was almost unbearable, but when Kthel's letters bristled all over with exclamation points, and painted the happy homo of the Walters family, "where papa and sho s.iiuetimes spent an evening," she began to ponder.with rather curious misivincs, on the foliv ot her o'a 'i conduct. Me rememU-red the pretty yiwmi fai-e of Anne Walters. and that for & brief time it was the one face in ail the world .e rtutiy now. she feared its intluence over him said, when she reasoned with herself, and yet and Precntly the letters assumed new breadth ami color, i'apa hid taken such a lovely house, ami f;irnihcd it, chiefly on her account, Ethel said. Papa's ruines was increasing wonderfully he had besides bought out somebody's claim, and it had proved very v.uua:ie. men lolioweil a description !i f ,he house that was as daz.ling as I tantalizing to the unhappy wife. It was larger and grander than their own nnie. i nere was a eplendid lawn.. anl a tiuegarden.and a large conservatory; a carriage drive and barn and stable, almost as handsome as the hous. And thn the npholstering! Mrs. Archer looked rather contemptuously at her plain linen shadts, and Nottingham lace curtain, and small gilded cniifes, and contrasted her nine foot ceilings with the twelve and fourteen over which Ethel raved. 44 It miht be all very splendid," she said, w ith a final Hurt at composure 44 but borne U home. I have lived here all my married life, I can rot make any other pla seem as dear and swevt as this." 44 Has Mr. Areht-r a housekeeper?" aked one of her lady friends who came to call one day, as she threw coquettishly back the foils id her cashmere shawl. 44 No. ind'-.-d!" said Mrs. Archer, with unwonted emphasis. 44 Dear me, how tin he man aire to get on with so large a house? Mrs alters wn.-te me all about it, she is an 'old friend of n. ine, you know, anil I supeet her ta.-te was called into requisitmn when tle place w as furnished. She dn t av so, tut then a man must have the bblirment of some feminine ruind. and I know h ts and Annie Used to be &e- i . uuaintances." I drs. Archer feit her checks redden i lent.y, but dared not trn-t herself to 'peak. The very idea that Mrs. Walters had put forth a finger in the decoration d what should by right be her home, was more than she could bear. ' As for her visitor she smiled, in her j sleeve, as the saying is, and wondered! to herself why Mr. and Mrs. Archer did ' not live together. It was the last straw that bnkc the, camel - back of Mrs. Archer's resolution, I and it came in this shaje : Ethel wrote ! ah, had her mother seen her writing that letter, seen the arch smiles and shrugging of the shoulders that papa had a houstkeepej ! ! a nice one a relative of Mrs. Walters! and she had already learned to love her very much and called her aunty. Poor Mrs. Archer ! The letters came thicker and f aster, and not one but reiterated the praises of this prodigy of housekeeper, who J knew every thing, and was the incarnation of every grace under heaven. (After that Mrs. Archer moved about j with compressed lip and a brow whereon in el tm-holy was stamped, but there i was a !ok of ;ern resolve in her eve. I She talked little, saw no company, kept I two sewing-machines troinir, and two ! dressuiakers busy. In fact she had begun to look upon herself as a neglected i wife, and the role did not suit her. The ptirpos she had formed were put into t action w ith lightning-Eko rapidity, the house w.ts let just as .t stood to a wealth v i widow wn:;out c-iuidren. .Mrs. Archer told t .e f, to whom she wished to co:nm:iiiit-.ti! concerning her movements, tint she had changed her min I and tm, : ,M of paj ing a viit to California, .in I at all events spending one winter there. Poor woman, she could not even say she had Veen sent for. I conrnend Everett Archr's wisdom to all husband. 44 You'll never sec her back ngain,
said ono of the knowing ones '! rather think there's a conspiracy goin on in California." It was a week after that, when Kthul, sitting ono morning at the breakfast table, her chair facing the lnj French windows, gave one shriek of delight, threw her napkin into the nuar bowl, and dashed from the window to the imminent risk of eyery thing and every body in her way. Her father wh- w.t's opposite her, his back to the window.
hal scarcely time to recover from his surpnse, and the stately woman at the head of tho tible to turn pale at the shock, before Kthel came bounding back with glad WcLoiniugs and laughter. 4'() papa, she has come! mamma is here! 1 knew ii was her I knew Torn and Dickey though I saw them at the very end of tho lawn. Come in, mammawelcome to California! U, now our home will be perfect!" Of course, mamma came in and fell with a weak, little hysterical cry on Mr. Archer's shoulder. Ofouro she saw tho Landsoinu stranger who had been keeping house, and she looked ou with a half smile, and an air of wellbred composure. Hat in hU anus.wit.i many and many a sweet and tender word, many a pet name whispered iu her ear, all'her nueasy misgivings seemed to have flown awsy. .My darling," said Mr. Archer, ns soon as he could release himself from ! the happy, ro.y little prattlers who were half crazed at 8'ght of him, vou hlvn't been introduced to mv-owr honi! ke eper. "i snail te very happy to make her acquaintance, Mr. Archer." Tho air with which this was said, the proper degree of condescension, line arrogance and half concealed disdain which had been studied np to the miutitest shatle for a week past, would have delighted even Machiaval himself. .Mr. Archer's dimples grew riotous on the instant. Ethel also turned suddenly away, as if conscious of an inclination to "distinguish herself by some ridiculous outburst. 44 My dear," said Mr. Archer, 44this is my sister Aliou, tho huif-aitUr have often heard ine speak of." ou How Mrs. Archer went through the motions on this trying occasion she nver knew. Why, of course, ho had a agister, she remembered now, who married Annie Walters' brother. Curious site had not susje ted but she wa so relieved, glad, nervous, shamed, all together, that the safest thing she could do was to cry. She felt that she had been trapped, but somehow it did not make her angry. Angry, with her hus band s arm around her, and J.thel be ging her to be happy with tears in her own eyes: 44 Yoti see, maix.nia, we couldn't get along without you, after all;" said Ethel, trying to hide her trepidation under cover of volubility, for Ethel was generally a quiet little thing. "And papa was so wretched, and so lonesome, and so altogether unlike pana, that when Aunt Alice's husband went to Europe, on business, Aunt Alice came here to help him keen house. 'And you'll forgive us for not telling you ail, won l j-fm, for I thought it all out, and wrote as 1 did ahout Aunt Alice U'f.iiw it seemed to me," she addul with a touch of th shrewdness of Ihe dawning woman, you'd be sure to come, then." 44 You wicked little schem?r!" was the reply, with smiles and tears, "didn't you suppose that 1, too, was lonely :tnd misera!;e, and wanted to see papa? Ion't you think my heart ached for both of you?" asked Mrs. Archer with ready tact. 44 The fact is, nvy dear, homo isn't home unless I have you all ;" and choking with emotion she hurried to her own room to have a final cry. And tinal it was. Now that she had taken the plunge and stood no longer ahiveriu:? outside nf dot v. Mrs Ari-bfr a-i u-illintrtix-on rt v" cele almost every thin". The house. its appointments, the streets, their mag ndicence the people, all wero perfec tion, ;tnd took on the splem. t of her new; happiness. She often laughs now over the conspiracy that forced tier from her narrower home-life, and she always repeats to her young married friends, 44 Never refuse, without insurmountable reasons, togo with your husband whereever his honest interests may lead him." Ifcn.ortst'a Mo.ilhly. A Somnambulistic Hook-Keeper The family of a Troy brewer were aroused before daj light last Friday by martial tones in mid-air.

Fan with a Spider. Spiders in many respect art) ju-t like other animals, ami cau be tatucd and lotted, aud taught a great inuny lessons, ami which they will learn as readily as aMog or cat. Hut Jou must take the trouble to study their ways, and get on the good side of them. ne day 1 had been reading in a book how spiders managed to get their webs across all cams and roads, and from the top of a tall tree to another. I went out aud caught a largo garden-spidor, one of these blue-gray sprawling fel-
I lows, and lived hun up for my evpi rij luetU. 1 took a slick about, eiguu-r u ui. nes in length, and fastened a piece of iron to one end of it, so that the st'n k would stand up on that end of itelf. Then 1 put this stick in the center of a largo tub half full of water, and placed tho spider on the top of the stick. I wanted to see if he could get to the 44 laud," which was the edgvof the tub, without any help. He ran down nrt on ono side of tho stick, and then the other; each time he would stop when ho touched the water, and, shaking his foot as the cat does, he would run op again. At last ho came to tho conclusion that he was. entirely surrounded by water ou an bland, in fact. After remaining perfectly mict for a long while, during which, 1 have no doubt". I. . - l . a . no was arranging ins plans, l.fgan j running around the top of tin .ti k, and ' throwing out great coil of vubwith his hind feet. In a few minutes little tine strings of web were floating away In the slight breeze that was blowing. ! Alter a little, ono of thew thread J touched tho edge of the tub ami stin k ft, as all spider-webs will do. Thi ! was just what Mr. Spider was looking lor, and the next iniuute he to -k hold of liu web uud gave a jerk aw, ailor does with a rope w hen he wi-ln to thow strong It is or make it fa-t. Having satisfied liimself that it w.Ls ftsi tho other end, he gathered' it in till it was tight and straight, and then ran with it to the shore a rescued castaway. Christ i'tit Ac.s. Sleep. There are two kinds of sleep, the complete aud incomplete. Complete sleep is a temporary metaphysical death, though not an organic one. The heart an. I lungs perforin their offices with their accustomed regularity. It is char.u teried hyi torpor of the organs of the brain, of the external st use, and of voluntary motions. Incomplete sleep is the activity of one or more of the cercbrian organs, while the others are in repose; this occasions dreaming. Sleep is various. y a'.Tc.-ted by health and dia.-e. Man in tim. of health sleeps in tranquility. Hi rises In the morning refreshed and prepared to g.i furth to his daily labor. New strength is given him; langor is gone, and all the faculties, both mental and corporeal, are recruited. Hut t he sleep of disease is far different. It is short and unrefresKing; disturbed by fearful sights an ! frightful dreams. S:upor and sleep are ditlcrcut, though aiipposed by some to be synonymous. In both there is insensibility ;" but it is easy to awaken a person from sleep, while it is smntimcs almost imjossib;t to ru-e one from stupor. It is frequently t he case in sickness that the person lies for several days in stujMir, totally insensible. Though sleep be natur U and necessary to the hngn: I mental and corporeal facultiw, t it is often brought on by fsonio extern tl cause. Ilet pro duce Teep. WV w" lies t n the summer season ; it i . nuuioii to see the laborer devoting a., lioiir in the eat f the day to sleep. A heated church is likely to bring on sleep. Variety, whether in sight or sound, prevents sleep, while monotony of all kind is' apt to produce it. Patchwork In Hank Note. The Hank of Prance, has bM-n compelled to prosecute one of its employees for abstracting bank notes w hich had been laid on one side previous to U ing destroyed and putting them into circulation a second time. Il is the custom in the Hank of Prance to h t a large quantity of notes accumulate before destroy ing them, and, a a precaution against their being nsed a- second time, each note, when it find its way buck to the bank, has two small piece c ipp d out of it, and the word "anntller" stamped upon in surface. The accu-ed, Jean Haptite Allamascy, who was employed in this department, succeeded in abstracting several bundle i f these note, and, by diuX of incredible patience, ninnagrd to cu4 tl tm up and make fresh notes with the piece, in such away as to avoid using thoso fragments where there was any mark. He carried on this fabrication for s mo time without detection, ami would j crhaps have escaped defection if he b id not been so unfortunate as to drop his pockd-book, containing some of the false notes, in th Champ Klysee. It was picked up by some dishonest prson who put the notes into circulation. Allamassey had forged the name of the cashier to some of the notes, and was therefore liable to penal servitude f r life ; but t lie jury, as usual, discovered "extenuating circumstances," and lie was pcntcnctd to ten years' imprisonment. The extenuating circumstance perhaps were that the jL7.ru" odd which he hod ftnW'av.lcd xvas all lost in speculation upon the 15 urse. V M ill 'i-z-tte. Miss .fennie M.
