Can any man lay his hand upon his
waistcoat and conseientiously say, Gun
til l saw the present Mrs. Jones. never
was in love in my ife?'' Can any man
say so? He is poor creature if he
can; and make no doubt he has had at
least forty-fve first loves since he began
to be capable of admiring at all As
for the ladies, them, of course, put
out of the question; they are fresh, no
doubt; they never fall in love until
mamma tells them that Mr.. So-and-so is
an amiable young man, and in every
way eligible; they never fiirt with Capt
Smith at ball, and sigh as they lie at
home in bed, and think what charming
dashing fellow he is; they never hear
the young curate read his sermon so
sweetly, and think how pale and inter-
esting he looks, and how lonely he must
feel in his curate house, and what no.
bic work it would be to share the soli-
tude and soothe the pains, and listen to
the delightful doctrine of so excellent a
man; they never think of attaching
themselves to any mortal except their
brother; until he brings home a young
friend from college, and says, "Mary,
Tom Atkinson admires you hugely, and
is heir to two thousand a year!" They
never begin the attack, as | have heard;
but their young hearts wait like so many
fortresses, to be attacked and carried
after proper period of siege-by block
ade, or by bribery, or by capitulation,
or by fiery escalade.
Whilst ladies persist in maintaining
the strictly defensive condition, men
must naturally, as it were, take the op-
poSite line, that of attack; otherwise, If
both parties held aloof there would be
no more marriages, and the hosts would
die in their respective inaction, without
ever coming to battle. Thus, it is ev-
ident that as the ladies will not, the men
must take the offensive. |, for my
part, have made in the course of my
life at least a score of chivalrous attacks
upon several strongly fortified hearts,
have begun my works too
late in the season, and winter suddenly
came and rendered further labors i'm
possible; sometimes have attacked the
breach madly, sword in hand, and been
plunged violently from the scaling lad
der into the ditch; sometimes l have
made decent lodgment in the place,
when bang blows up mine, and l am
scattered to the deucel and sometimes
when l have been in the very heart of
the citadel-ah that l should say itl-a
sudden panic has struck me, and / have
run Ike the British out of Carthagenal

eff you could see my husband, Solo
mon Stillweather! 1t is my firm con-
viction, he will be the death of me! 1
am naturally a happy, bright, energetic,
warm-hearted, chain-lightning, impul-
sive woman-born after stages were
exploded, and in the days of railroads
and steam engines. l have the most
capacious heart that ever thumped
against silken bodice;-can hate like
Lucifer, and love in proportion, and be
eternally grateful to one who is kind to
me. Now, Solomon is perpetual
calm. Nothing rufies him, nothing
disturbs him. Mount Vesuvius couldn't
make him hurry. He does everything,
mercantile and matrimonial by
rule, square and compass. When the
proper time arrives, it comes off, and
it don't fraction OF second before.
Were the house on fire, he would stop
to take the lint off his coat, and brush
his teeth, before starting. If | ask him
question at breakfast, / never get an
answer before tea. He walks around
the house with a noiseless, velvety
tread, like a superannuated pussy-cat.
Should the children in their play knock
over the tea-table and its contents, he
looks quietly up from his book, and
drawls out, 'A-i-n't You rather
rude c-h-i-l-d-r-e-n?'
"One summer evening, in the coun-
try, as he sat on the grass, smoking his
cigar, it occurred to me whether any
thing short of an earthquake would
start him up; so 1 placed string Of
crackers directly behind him, and
touched 'em off; and, as sure as Pm a
living woman, he never so much as
winked.
"You should see him getting ready
for church on Sunday, as he pares and
polishes his finger nails, lays every hair
on his head over its appropriate bump,
sprinkles drop of cologne on the north
west corner of his pocket-handkerchief,
and ties the bow of that cravat for the
for-tieth time. l never saw Solomon
excited. l never heard him laugh
and he don't know the luxury of tears.
Now. if could only get up domestic
squabble!-thunder clouds clear the at
mosphere, you know,-but it's no use.
I've tried to stir him up on politics; but
he's Con. the fence, has as, lief jump
one way as another, too. I've put on
the sulks. and been distant and dig
nifed; l tell you. he likes it-besides,
you couldn'tfree him colder than be is.
I've been loving, and petted him, it's a
waste of ammunition,-he can't be
thawed outl
"It's my solemn belief, he was origi-
nslly intended for an old maid, but, by
some horrid mistake-he's my husband.

happy Mr. LeVerlng! he could not
make the usual responses that day, in
the services; and when the congrega-
tion joined in the swelling hymn of
praise, his voice was heard not in the
general thanksgiving. Scarcely word
of the eloquent sermon reached his
ears, except something about dishonest
dealing;" he was too deeply engaged in
discussing the question whether or no
he should get rid of the troublesome
dollar by dropping it into the contribu-
ton box, at the close of the morning
service, to listen to the words of the
preacher. This question was not set
tied when the box came round. But
this disposition of the money proved
only a temporary palliative. There
was still a pressure on his feelings; still
a weight on his conscience that gradual
ly became heavier. Poor mani What
was he to do? How was be to get this
dollar removed from his consciencei-
He could not send it back to the lady
and tell her the whole truth. Such an
exposure of himself would not only be
humiliating, but hurtful to his charac-
ter. 1t would be seeking to do right in
the infiction of wrong to himself.
AT last Mr.. Levering, who had as
certained the lady's name and resi-
dence, inclosed her a dollar, anony-
mously, stating that it was her due;
that the writer had obtained it from her
unjustly, in transaction which he did
not care to name, and could not rest
until he made restitution.
Ali the humiliation of spirits suf-
fered by Mr.. Levering in thus seeking
to get ease for his consciencel 1t was
one of his bitterest life experiences
The longer the dollar remainedin his
possession, the heavier became its pres
sure, until he could endure it no longer.
He felt not only disgraced in his own
eyes, but humiliated in the presence of
his wife and children. Not for worlds
would he have suffered them to look
into his heart.
If simple act of restitution could
have covered all the past, happy would
it have been for Mr.. Levering. But
this was not possible. The deed was
entered in the book of his life, and
nothing could efface the record
Though obscured by the accumulating
dust of time, now and then a hand
sweeps Unexpectedly over the page,
and the writing is revealed. Though
that dollar has been removed from his
conscience, and he is now guiltless of
wrong; yet there are times when the old
pressure is felt with painful distinct
ness.
Earnest seeker after this worlds
goods, take warning by Mr.. Levering,
and beware how, in a moment of weak
yielding, you get dollar on your con-
science. One of two evils must follow.
1t will give you pain and trouble, or
callous the spot where it rests. And
the latter of those evils is that which is
most to be deplored.-G GOdey's Lady's
Book.

THREATENING ASPECT OF THE CUBA
QuEsTIoS.-Letters from Cuba have un-
doubtedly been received in Washington,
from parties who are supposed to be
well aware Of all which Spain and her
allies propose to do with reference to
the Island, from which the conclusion is
drawn that a large English and French
fleet viii be despatched to the Gulf as
soon as the state Of the Turco-Russian
question will permit the two latter pow
ers to withdraw from thence sufficient OF
their vessels now in the Mediterranean.
1t is certainly believed in political circles
here, that the Union newspaper has am
pie grounds for the esrnestness with
which it is appealing to the country to
awake to a realization Of the present
critical condition of the Cuba question.
