Hhi Ever taught with a Brother his sorrows to share, And -where ’er through the world ‘tis our fortune to roam, A To cherish and love the sweet light of our home. While hand joins with hand, as we utter farewell, What varied emotions in each bosom swell, : And seek thro’ the wide world wherever we roam, No spot seems 80 dear as the trne Mason’s home.

THE UGLY PICTURE, ‘ I Bill Tozer was in great straits that evening.' He had been to his club. Never mind what the club was called. And so, when he reached his hoxhehin the Carlton road, he remembered that he had a little misunderstanding with his landlady, and said, “now for it!”: Having uttered this ejaculation, he took hold of one of the railings, which presided over a so-called garden, with one hand, while he grasped his right, or right foot boot, with the other. “That’s all right,” said Bill, as the auticle came off with a: jerk; and when the companion integument came 'off with equal facility, he felt comparatively all right. ' With sautious steps Bill approached the door, and with cautious‘hands he opened it. But what to see? Why, his landlord!—a stout built man, a truculent looking man, with fury in his eyes and a bed room candlestick in his hand. . ' And this is what BilV’slandlord said to him: g “Now, just you leave my house this day weak! For you’re a howl, you is; you’re abed all day, and bout all night!” ' : . e Having thus delivered himself, he descended into the lower regiong, uttering menaces as to Bill’'s eyes and limbs., . L - “Bill don’t grumble,” mumbled Tozer, as he ascended to his second floor back. But in reality he was very much annoyed, for where to turn for another lodging he knew not; so he pursued a course not unusual with such of the unfortunates as have a bed left, and sitting on the edge of it, reflected bitterly on the errors of past life. Well connected, well educated, acknowledged to be one of the most promising portrait painters of the day, where was he now? - ;. - As, however, Bill was an habitual smoker, he sought on his table for the usual pipe, and grasped—a letter. Now, Bill wasnot in the habit of receiving letters. - His creditors had: long ago given him up as a bad job, and sad to say, his relatives were tired of him. So Bill was somewhat perplexed as to this individual note, and boldly struck a light, and, after turning over the missive several times, opened and read it. It ran thus: - - “MyY DEAR TozeEß: Come and breakfast with me to-morrow morning.— Something to your advantage. “Yours ever, GEO. MAITLAND.” Bill ecrumpled. up the note in his fist. Bill and Maitland had been school-fellows; Bill and Maitland had been pupils of the Royal Academy together. But what a difference there was now in their positions! Butnever mind about all that: Tozer -kept his appointment with Maitland, and the result was-that he found himself engaged to go to: Crumbush house in Surry, to paint a young lady’s portrait, and had to starv at once.

“Bill don’t grumble,” muttered Tozer, and he turned over his small ‘wardrobe and found it sadly wanting. It took some weary hours tomake things look even decent. And then the ragged edges of sleeves and trousers had to be cobbled. It was dreary work. Having left a hurried message with the “slavey” that he might be away for a day or two, Bill cautiously went on his way, one fine summer evening, to seek the train that should convey him to Crumbush house, his destination. After something like an hour’s ride Bill reached Criddleton, the station at which he had been directed to stop, and was then told that the distance to Crumbush house was about two miles. ; “Bill don’t grumble,” said Tozer, as he set off on his walk, “you might have sent a carriage for me.” : However, having ‘beep somewhat crumpled by his railway |ride, he seét off, relying on the certainty of finding his way by the aid of a sign post as he went on. But after going some way and coming to cross roads, he found that there were no sign posts. So he wag in a dilemma, and did what it is always best to do under such circumstances; he remained quiet. At length alad came by and. he inquired the way to the Crumbush house. The. answer the lad gave was apparently’ civil, but it was perfectly unintelligible. Tozer still waited till an old woman came, who understood what Bill wanted, and showed him the way. At length Bill reached a lodge gate, the guardian of which informed him, with evident pride, that the avenue leading to Crumbush house was three furlongs long; and a beautiful piece of road Bill found it.. Glimpses of fine scenery, hallowed, as it were, by the beauty of a glorious night, met Tozer’s view at every turn; and the murmurs of a trout stream, whose windings the avenue followed, gave music to such thoughts as Tozer cared to entertain. When Bill arrived at Crumbush hall, he found—as he intended he should—his host full of regrets that he had not been in time for dinner, and gladly accepted the offer of a snug little repast in a snug little room indeed, lined with leather stamped with the effigies. of birds, beasts and fishes, the beaks, claws and fins of which were ablaze with gold. There was also a littlefire, albeit it was summer time. Theresult of all which was that, when the tray contained many delicacies; including a bottle of Bur%\mdy and another of sherry, was set before him, Bill shook himself—his invariable method of tes- | tifyi.ng‘ satisfaction—and ejaculated: “Bill do n't grumble.” ; - " By the time that he had finished not more than a third of each of the bottles at his disposal, Bill was aroused from a pleasant :everie,b{oa, knock at ‘the door, and stood face to face with his host, and said: .

“If you had not been born with money, you would have been a cattle draver, or a kittle sharp-—probably both.” . o %is host responded by observing: “You have a low, pot house look about you, and I wish you had never qntggd the house: but it can’t be hgl D now, so we must make the best 0 '" i (%f course the discriminating reader will understand that these remarks were not made aloud; that which passed between the two men being somewhat as follows: “Would Mr. Tozer like to join the ladies in the drawing room, or prefer to have a quiet cigar with Tom—my eldest son, sir?” = [ ; : _ Mr. Tozer was delighted to make the acquaintance of Tom, and, being somewhat fatigued with his journey, would rather defer his introduction to the ladieg until the following morning. - So Bill and Tom Holmwood—Holmwood, we should have mentioned, was the name of Bill’'s host—had several cigars and tumblers of hot whisky together; and when at length, towards the small hours, he tumbled into a luxurious bed, Bill muttered, with all sincerity, “Bill don’t grumble.” Who has ever sung properly, and “who will ever be ‘able to do so, that frightful moment for the worn-out wwn dweller who awakes—but stay! —just half awakes—in a pleasant bed room in a pleasant country house ?— The sense of contentment is so perfect; the feeling that you are on the thf;esholgl- of a new life is so wonderful! _: When Bill Tozer awoke the morning after his arrival at the Crumbush house, he took pains not to awake too much. Only by slow degrees would he allow himself to indulge in the luxury of feeling that he was far away from the temptations of his club at the Bedford head, and that he would not, on this morning at least, have to encounter a landlady at the foot of the ‘stairs, saying, “Where is my money ?”* But as Bill, in a delightful dream, surveyed the luxuries of his novel dormitory, he perceived the door slowly open and :a man cautiously enter. “Have I been laboring under an hallucination ?” said Bill to himself, “and instead of being in a respectable house, am I where I shall be robbed and mpurdered ?” o The man, meanwhile, continyed to advance cautiously towards the chair on which were deposited Bill’s clothes, and gently lifted up Bg{l’s best coat. Best coat, forsooth?® The only one hé possessed in which he was presentable. - : {This was too much; even for Bill’s equanimity. So, starting up, he demanded in stentorian tones, “What are you going to do with that coat ?” The mysterious stranger was now as much startled as Bill had been, but after a pause replied deferentially: “If you please, sir, I am to wait on you while you are here, and I am going to brush your clothes.” “Very well,” rejoined Bill, somewhat mollified; “but take care how you brush that cqat, for if you brush it hard the left sleeve will come off.”

The portrait which Bill Tozer was employed to paint at Crumbush hall was that of its owner’s only daughter, a beauty,and a blonde of some twentythree years, and possessed of that delicate Clytie cast of head which Bill, in common with all good judges, almost worshiped. Therefore, Bill set to work with-a good heart. : But, of course, he had first of all to endure all the petty ‘annoyances to Wdlich portrait painters are usually subject. Did Mr. Tozer think that the sittings hagd better take place in the lié?rary or in the morning room ?— Would Emily look better in an evening or a walking ‘dress? Did n’t Mr. Tozer think that there was more ani‘mation in a three-quarter face than a full one? And how many hands did he generally put in his portraits ? The answer which Bill gave to these and scores of similar questions would have rather shocked the proprietor:of the Crumbush house, but as he discreetly clothed them in-an inarticuiate grunt, it /did n’t ' much matter. - For a few 'days matters went on capitally with Bill. .| The denizens of Crumbush hall were cordial; the eating and drinking were perfection; the surrounding scenery was delightful. The comparatively early hours which Bill had to keep did him good, and he was getting along with his portrait very well. Certainly. his sitter was morose in her manner towards him; but as she was a beauty, Bill “did n’t grumble” at that. | But on one summer afternoon, as Bill was taking his usual ramble, and a cigar—we ‘should have said short pipe—in one of the pleasant glades which abound in Crumbush hall, he suddenly came upon Miss Holmwood, who was seated on a bank, with her face buried in her hands, and evidently erying bitterly. Stupefied for a moment, he turned hastily, and was moving as quickly away as his usual slowness of temperament would allow him, when he found one of his. arms suddenly grasped with a convulsive grip, and on turning perceived his fair companion gazing at him with a look of supplication that distressed him exceedingly. 2ie. “Good heavens!” thought he to himgelf, “surely she has n’t gone mad and fallen in love with me! Well, Bill don’t grumble!’”” it o “Oh, Mr. Tozer,” exclaimed the girl, “do save me! Do paint me ugly! Do paint me as ugly as you can!™ : Bill’s face upon this assumed such a look of blank amazement, that even the sobbing young creature by his side could scarcely refrain from laughing; ‘but she continued:: -

“You do not know why you are painting my portrait, I suppose? Well, it is just this: When 1 was about seventeen I became engaged to Sir Norman Atkins; butboth the families thought we were too young to marry, and so it was arranged that he should go to India with his regiment, and that if, after five years, he should be of the same mind, he should have me. Well, he will be back in a few da{ls, and papa and mamma did not like the idea of his just looking at me, and then saying that I would not do—that would be rather awkward, you know—it has been agreed that some artist should paint my portrait exactly as I look, and that Sir Norman should see that and then decide.” ; “Well,” interposed Tozer, “I have endeavored to—" . £ “Ah, yes; and you have made me very handsome, but—" -, At this point Miss Emely’s face assumed a color which no earthly artist could hope to represent. After ashort pause she resumed: : “f must tell you the truth. Some time after Sir Norman went away I fell really in love with Herbert Laker. The other was only childish nonsenge. But he is not so rich as Sir Norman,

and is not a baronet, so that if ‘Sir Norman likes me I shall be forced to marry him. Oh! do paint:me ugly! pray do!” - s e “But if I did that,” replied Bill, with a smile, “even if I could—and it would be very difficult—your parents would get some one else to paint you pretty.” : o 3 , “I have thought of that,” replied the girl quickly. “You must go on with the one you are now at, and paint another—oh so hideous !—for Sir N o};{\l\9.ll to see!” Bill Tozer had a little tinge of romance in his soul, sleepy and beery as he generally looked and was: so he set to work that very afternoon to paint an ugly likeness of the lovely Emily Holmwood, having first ejaculated to himself, “I' know that I am not doing right by my employer in this matter; but Bill don’t grumble.” The painting of the two portraits proceeded satisfactorily ;- the genuine one resceiving unbounded praise from all who saw it, with the exception of Miss Emily, whilst the ugly one met with equal praise from her. { At length the eventful day arrived on which Sir Norman was*to. visit Crumbush house and behold ‘the portrait of his future bride. The family, of course, were discreetly out at the hour he was expected. Bill was at home; and having espied the baronet as he rode up to the gate, ejaculated g “Ten to one you’re a dissipated ruffian; and I’'m'glad if I’ve done anything to spoil your chance.” : Sir Norman was shown into Mrs. Holmwood’s boudoir, where the portrait awaited his inspection. Here he remained about two minutes, and then left the house and gallopped off furiously. In the evening Mr. Holmwood received the foilowing note: - ‘ SIR :—II decline to marry your daughter, and return the lying photographs of her you so seduously sent me whilst T was inlndia. NORMAN ATKINS. Let the wrath of the Holmwood family—and especially the hysterics of Miss Emily (until she was safely ensconced in her own room)—be imagined. . | : On the following morning, as Bill took leave of Mr. Holmwood, the latter, as he gazed with parental fondness at his daughter’s portrait (of course the genuine one had replaced the fictitious one), said: “I do not blame you, sir, for what has occurred. That scoundrel Atkins must be a blind idiot.” Bill, pocketing a handsome fee, cordially agreed. ; _ A few weeks afterwards Bill saw the announcement of the marriage of Emily Holmwood with Herbert Laker, and simultaneously received a note containing a check for no mean amount, and a slip of paper on which was written, “Forever grateful for the ugly portrait.” , “Bill do n’t grumble,” said Tozer, as he cashed the check.- .

Don'’t Box the Children's Ears. ‘Children’s ears ought never to be boxed. We have seen that the passage of the ear is closed by a mem- ‘ brane, especially adapted to be influenced by every impulse of the air, and ‘ with nothing but the air to support it internally. | What, then, can more ‘ likély injure this membrane 'than a sudden and forcible compression of the air in front of it? If any one designed to break or overstretch the men-. brane, he could scarcely devise a ‘more effective means than to bring the hand suddenly and foreibly down upon the passage of the ear, thus driving the air violently before it withno possibility for its escape except by the membrane giving way. And far too | often it does give way, especially 'if,‘ from any previous disease, it has been weakened. Many children are made deaf by boxes on the ears in this way. Nor is this the only way. If there is one thing which does the nerve of hearing more harm than almost.any other, it is a sudden jar or shock. Children and grown persons alike may be entirely deafened by falls or heavy blows upon the head. And boxing the ears produces a similar effect, though more slowly and in less degree. It tends to dull the sensibility of the nerve, even if it does not hurt the membrane. I knew a pitiful case once of a poor youth who died from a terrible disease of the ear. He had had a discharge from it since he, was a child. Of course his hearing had been dull, and what had happened was that - his father had often boxed his ears for inattention! Most likely that boxing on the ear, diseased as it was, had something to do with his dying. And this brings me to the second point. Children should never be blamed for being inattentive, until it. has been found out whether they are not a little deaf. This is easily done by placing them a few yards distant, and trying whether they can understand what is said to them in a rather low tone of voice. Each ear should be tried, while the other is stopped by the finger. ; I do not say that children are never guilty of inattention especially to that which they do not particularly wish to hear; but I do say many children are blamed and punished for inattention ‘when they really do not hear. And there is nothing at once more cruel and more hurtful to the character of children than to be found fault with for what is really their misfortune. Three things should be remembered here: 1. That slight degrees of deafness, often lasting only for a time, are very common among ‘children, ‘especially during or after colds. 2. Thataslight deafness, which does mot prevent a person from hearing when he isexpecting to be spokento, will make-him very dull of what heis not expecting; and 3. That there is a kind of deafness in which a person can hear pretty well while listening, but is really very hard of hearing, when not listening.—Dr. Hinton in Popular Science Monthly.

One of Grant’s Specimen Appoint- : ments, ; Maj. Elias Griswold, who has recently been appointed a special agent of the Postoffice Department, is a beautiful specimen of the late rebels who have been reconstructed and taken under the: protecting wing of the administration. Griswold was an officer in the Confederate army, and served as Provost Marshal at Tuscaloosa, Ala., having charge of “Andersonville” and other prisons, i The Savannah (Ga.) Addvertiser and Republican says: - “The notorious Capt. Wirz was then a sergeant under Griswold, and carried -out his orders, and we know from actual experience of his treatment of Federal and Union prisoners, that if Wirz deserved hanging, Capt. Griswold should have been hung by his side. His brutal treatment of the sick deserve some other reward than federal appointment to office.” !

THE OREGON SENATOR. Something for an Investigation Com--mittee to Dirty its Fingers With. - o Jno. M. Hipple, alias John H. Mitchell, the ‘senator elect from Oregon, is likely to be well known- aid pretty generally despised before he takes the oath of a Senator, and goes into the business of law-making for the United States of America. Jno. M. Hipple, formerty a citizen of Pennsylvania, a lawyer, a destroyer of woman,.and a wife deserter, is now a U. S. Senator.. He was once a law partner of Col. Thompson, of Butler county, Pennsylvania. A ‘reporter of the Pittsburg Leader sometime . since : inter¢iewed Col. Thompson. He said: = . - That the lady whom Mitchell married was Sarah' Hoom, and that she was one of the mates of my childhood. : Previous to her marriage, in 1857, she. gave birth to a child. Suit was bri’t against Mitchell as the father of the child, and, to avoid further difficulty, he married the woman. They lived unhappy,. of course, though another child followed -the union. I really believe,” says Colonel Thompson, “mny old partner tried to live with his wife; but her tastes were of such a nature that there was nothing in common be--tween them. He was educated, studious and possessed a vaulting ambition. She could not sympathize with him; and there was perpetual discord. He: said but little of this to me, and seemed resolved fo bear his burden in_ silence. - During the winter of 1860 I was Speaker of the House of Representatives, and was away the most of the time. John looked after my business entirely. In April, 1860, I returned to my office. * A day or two aft ter | my arrival home John left the. office to go to Pittsburg, merely say-. ing that he was going on business. He never returned as my partner. A short time after his departure I received a letter dated “The Wide /World.” It had’ no post-mark by which I could’ tell where he was." The letter stated his reasons why he had gone away. He said in it that he could not live with his. wife; that he was going away, where he' could be undiscovered and begin life over again. The indications are that the story is true,and it is suggested that the fact of the fictitious name will invalidate the man’s_election'to the Sénate. He is certainly, if this is the case, entitled to as much sympathy as condemnation.. .~ .. = A Pittsburg® correspondent of the Chicago T'imes gives the statement of the wife who is supporting herself and children as a house _Servant at Franklin, Pa.

It was advertised in the papers at the time as the elopement of Mary J. and John Hipple. -Well, that is God’s truth; and she was the cause of the first' trouble between me and: John.

- JOHN HIPPLE RUINED ME. I was a young girl, only fifteen at the time. He was twenty-six. He had ‘been my school teacher and for two years waited on my sister. He took advantage of his position and my youthful ignorance accomplished my betrayal. After the birth of my child by him my father went after him and brought him %o my bedside. = This was all the force about the marriage. My father demanded reparation—that he should marry me; I said, “John, you can marry me or not, just.as you see fit. T shall not say.” He then promised to marry me and he did “marry. me.” ?

HE BECAME UNTRUTHFUL to me. The. first that I knew that, John was untrue to me, was one night, shortly after the trouble began. ' 1 had heard outside of his being ‘with other women, but I did not'know it. He brought home this woman I ‘here allude to, who at this time was a school-teacher, to stay at our house.— Mary went up to her room, which was near ours, rather early; John: was left writing. After a while I went to my room and undressed. I waited for John until eleven o’clock, when 1 slipped down to see if he ‘was yet writing. -He was’ not there. I knew he had not gone out of the house, so I went to Mary’s bedroom. The door was’ locked. I 'then sat' down and waited. At one o’clock my husbahd unlocked the bedroom door, came out, and without ‘a word went to bed. I did not.say 4 word to him then, butin the morning, when I attempted to say something about it, he 'swore at me with dreadful oaths; and said he would take my life if I ever opened my mouth abount it again, From that time he had that woman in the house whenever he pleased, and I could not prevent it, Do you wonder that we quarrelled: ¢ontinually under these circumstances ? Miss McChristian, milliner, at Butler, will testify that at this time she was in Pittsburg, and stopped at Hane’s Hotel. My husband shortly after arrived, and asked to be shown his wife’s room, alluding to Miss——. Miss McChristian .-~ : I - -EXPOSED HIM .~ ' to the landlady, and John was ordered away. from the hotel.

The Whipping Post in Delaware.. . A correspondent:of the New York World, under date of May 24th, writes an interesting letter in reference to the barbarous manner in which eriminals of Delaware are treated. He says: “The Delaware people say that the whipping pest.is a good thing. It promotes a healthy' circulation of the blood; it frightens New Yorkers, Pennsylvanians and Jerseyites away from the 'ns%?tte, and then—and this seems most reasonable—it is the only circus they have, New York, New Jersey, and other pagan common‘Wwealths, are visited by Buffalo Bill, the “Black Crook,” and other shows, but Delaware can’t raise money enough to entice théem within her borders.— And Barnum—he’s too big a gun for them—Delaware would be lost under his-mammoth tent. 'And so they have the:lash and pillory, and every Saturday in May and November the. citizens don their “best beshines,” and taking their opera glasses, children and servants with them, proceed to the jails (there are three jails—one in Newcastle, onein Georgetown and ¢ne in Dover). Then the gates are thrown open and the crowd rushes in and fills the court yard, and the sheriff and wardens, with- Sunday-suits on and cigars in their mouths, stand beside the great post spitting tobacco juice on the children and serenely eyeing the crowd, and by and by a delicate, fair-haired youngster of fourteen or fifteen,with great tears streaming from his blue eyes and his white shoulders bared tothe delighted gaze of the audience, steps out from the inner court of the prison and the warden pinions his slender wrists tothe post with iron - bands, while the sheriff -swings his “cat-o-nine-tails” and a murmur of pleasure comes from the appreciative crovgd. - The sheriff bites his cigar a’ little harder, tips a meaning wink to a bystander, and then he raises the “cat,” steps a little back, and whizz! down it comes on the boy’s back, the thongs wind under his arm and bite great holes in his side and chest, while his back is striped red andrwhite. “Two,” says the warden. ' “Oh-h-h-h!” from the boy, ‘and crash, down comes the lash again and, again and again,. and the boy’s back is all raw and Bleeding, with great'ridges across it. The little fellow in his agony asks once or twice “for God’s sake” to be more mildly whipped, but his sobs choke him, and when the ten lashes have been dealt, he staggers, faint and exhausted, into ‘his cell - “Ah there’s justice for you. Our sheriff’s a man—mno d—d chicken about him,” says a representative citizen, and the crowd murmurs, “No, indeed.” There is no fiyst-class drama to-day—nothing but this laughable boy-whipping farce. They did expect a woman to be whipped. Indee&i that 3 is what drew such a crowd; but g:e Governor postponed that part of the show, and so the audience quietly disperses, . after another boy -has been “cared for.”. : | No.one is to be purloined, and the rotten eggs and stones that the children brought to throw at the performer—perched on tip-toe on a high platform over the whipping post, with his . head and arms inlimbo and the fierce southern -sun blazimg away on him, causing his face torgssume -an expresgion of excrutiati(;iyz pain—the rotten eggs and other missiles are us l;'ess, and-the dear little children. de%osit‘ them in the gutter, or throw them at ‘some aged negro H‘mping through the street. = 4 L v S The woman who was to be flogged last Saturday is a fine-looking, neatly attired young girl, betrayed by a white man, and through ignorance led to slaughter her offspring. She would have made-a rare show at the “post,” and one need only to imagine a deli--eate, soft-skinned woman, bared to the -waist, her flesh torn by the whip, and piteous cries escaping her lips, to real- . ize the entertainment to be derived from a Delaware flogging. "One need only to imagine this to understand how rare a treat, how humorous a spectacle, such a performance must prove to-the gentlemen and ladies and the little children gathered in the court-yard auditorium.’ , : i . I interviewed the girl, Meeter, and found she was fined only $5,000, besides appearing in character at the post and then retiring to her'dungeon for life.. She said she would rather owe her fine to the State all her life than pay it, and then she begged for five cents, which I produced and thrust through the bars. They have a curious way in Delaware of arresting thieves (very strange to a New York reader) and making them pay a restitution of the amount stolen before they can leave the prison. It isasort of ‘back-pay’ steal, and the simile is carried still further, for the thieves undergo great discomfort and disgrace after their terms are out. They are" obliged to wear a great’block letter ‘C’ sewed fo their backs for six months after dismissal. I give to you the performanee as Isaw it, and in very truth it seerns to be popularly regarded as an amusement, as I have said. .
