Albert Dunror and Charle* Vernor Tb«y were engaged in conversation on the different topice of the time* and aeaaans. ''How different ar* th* scene* in thia splendidly lighted suit of rooms, to some of those we pats amid the poor 00 our way hither." The lip of Albert alightly curled, but recollecting who tpoke.'
Ye*," a*id he, "thia ia a hard winter. We tnuat do all wt can for the needy." She made him no a newer, but turned her eyes and met the full gaxe of Charlee be eat in silence watching her countenance. It waa not the first tim* they had met.— She took from her little embroidered bag an old woollen mitten and a fifty cent piece the former the handed to Albert. "You have ita fellow," aaid ahe, "the pair may be of more eervic* than oo*i" tbe win ahe banded to Charlet.
Each looked at the other. "Do you not tbink my diaguiae complet* 1" said the, "I know you both aa you are."
The fecea of both yorng men were crimaon, the one with shame and tbe other with eurpriee. We have but one word more to tay. She now livet tbe htppy wife of Charlee Vernor. Sh* went not empty handed with the bestowal of her hand be became poseessor of gold ailver, and lands.
ADVICE TO THE MELANCHOLY. Well, tir. how have you been! Down in ihe mouih agnin! Aye, air, yau have been looking at tomething too long. Never thould do that. In a world that ia whirling a thousand timet an hour, every thing thould be taken at a glance* Get ihe aril of a thing and hare done with it.
I give you five minotee every day to look at the atara, but don't particularize for eome in thoee far off placet tend their light down long after they have been knocked out of ex**tenee, and you may be looking at a blnnk. Look out for such delusions, and act, remembering that the poetry of ihe hour, like ihe cream of your coffee, thould be freah every morning.
Oh. air, in a world lhat norer halta for a tingle moment in itt ererlatitng round of changing amusement, your amall agony it unpardonable. Why, the clouda and dark net* are part of the play. Certainly, part of iba play. R*in and snow, and chilly winds, pain, trouble and tor* meal—-these are th« variations for which you may thank God.
If there were not plainftf facta and worse figures, your little wife would aoon ba a perfect fright to you—a perfect fright. Find your bobble apd blow, but msver stop to look at the Colors. Let them butt no matter for that while your ind lasts. Blow away, there's nothing like il. If you are tir#«d, like myaelf, and would like lo look on. can only aay lhal Ihe moraliliea of such speculations are Itaxardous and if you bar# any wind left, it ia batter to die with round cheek Iban a hollow oaa.
A man wubout a bubble is flatulent and a woman withaMt one—-that'a impossible, Take my advice, air, and ta ihe world wag. If it ebooara to run off the track, let ft, and if anv comet has a mind to take ut an route lo the tun, why blase •war
