READING Love LETTKR.-An anus
ing instance of Hibernian simplicity is
afforded by the following little Story:
Molly, our housemaid, is model one,
who handles the broomstick ike scep-
ter, and who has an adherence for dirt
and a sympathy for soapsuds, that
amounts to passion. She is busting,
busy, rosy-cheeked, bright-eyed, blum
dering Hibernian who hovers about our
book-shelves, makes war upon our pa
pers, and goes about thirsting for new
worlds to conquer, in the shape of un-
busted and unrighted corners.
One day she entered our library IN a
confused and uncertain manner, quite
different from her usual bustling way.
She stood at the door with a letter be-
tween her,thumb and finger, which she
held at arms length as if she had gun
powder plot in her grasp. In answer to
our inquiries as to her business, she ans
wered:
sAn' it plase yer honor, Pm poor
girl, and han't much larnin', and ye
sees, plase yer honor, Paddy O'Reilly,

A MODEL CHAReE.-The following
amusing incident transpired at the
Spring term of the Circuit Court Of
st. Croix county, Wisconsin:
The Judge of the Circuit Court,
lately in session at Hudson, Wisconsin,
gave charge to the Jury on certain
action tried before him, which excited
considerable merriment in the Court at
the time.
The action was to recover The value
of certain liquors sent from below and
cosigned for sale to the defendant
Evidence was given on the part of the
defendant to show that the brandies,
DC, were made of forty cent whisky,
and drugged at that, whereat the Judge
was very indignant, and charged the
jury very nearly as follows
GENTLEMEN OF THE JURY.-Pure un-
adulterated liquor is a wholesome and
pleasant beverage, and as far as the
experience of the Court extends, con-
duees to health and longevity; but a
bad article of liquor, gentlemen. or
what is worse, a drugged article, cam
not be tolerated; and if dealers from
below viii send up into this beautiful
conntry, SO blessed with the smiles Of
the benignant creator, such miserable
quality of liquors as the proof shows
this to be, in this court, gentlemen of
the Jury, they cannot recover.

MORAL SUAsIoY on A RAMzWhen a
friend of ours, whom we call Agricola,
was boy, he lived on farm in Berk-

GossIP IN PARIs-THE De BEAUF-
FREMONT AFFAIR.-A Paris correspon-
dent of the New York Herald gives this
account of an affair which has caused
some noise in that city:
In my last weeks letter mentioned
the fact of the disappearance of the
young, beautiful, and very wealthy
wife of Prince de Beauffremont, lesid-
ing in the splendid family mansion sit
uated in the avenue Marigny; and that
in consequence of the unsatisfactory ma
ture of his replies, he was placed under
the surveillance of the police, with an
intimation at the same time that unless
all suspicious circumstances connected
with the lady's mysterious departure
were cleared up by given day, he
would be committed to an apartment of
somewhat more limited proportions than
that which he inhabited at present, in
order to take his trial.
The Prince, alarmed at the serious
aspect which affairs were beginning to
assume, sent for some of his most init
mate frinds, to assure them in the most
solemn manner of his innocence as to
whatever might have befallen his wife,
That they had for some time past lived
unhappily together he did not attempt
to conceal, but that with regard to her
present disappearance he was in the
most perfect ignorance.
The friends, on hearing this, put in
requisition every available consistent
with secresy, of finding out the lady's
hiding place. All the converts and re-
ligious seminaries in France were COM
munieated with, and entreated to save,
by ever so reserved an admission, the
Prince from the fearful consequences
which might otherwise result. Time
was, however, wearing on, and the day
approaching when stern justice was
about to lay hands on the ill-starred
husband, when post letter from Yer
sailles, was place in the hands of one of
the Princes friends. 1t was from The
missing wife. In it she announced the
fact of her retirement to convent at
Versailles; in the privacy and retire
ment of which she should have forever
remained, but for the perilous situation
of her husband. She stated, however.
that so harsh and cruel had been his
conduct towards her, that no power or
persuasion could induce her ever again
to live with him; that, not content with
tyrannizing over her in all matters be-
coming her station, he had, notwith- |
standing the enormous wealth she had |
brought him, miserably limited her ex-
penditure, and had not scrupled even
to strike her, and often with such vio-
lence that she lived with him in fear of |
being murdered. And here the matter
for the presentrests. The Prince is no
longer under surveillance, eats his din
ner in his palace halls with what appe
tite he may.
1t appears that the lady let herself
down at midnight from her chamber in
to the garden, by means of knotted
rope; that she opened the small garden
gate leading into the Champs Elysees
with private key, and walked up to
the Arc de Friomphe, where she found
a vostsre de Place, which took her as far
as st. Cloud, but where also the horses
knocked up; and that then SIZE After
wards walked on, though in great fear
and trembling, the remaining EIGHT
miles to Versailles.

KIND WORDS AND SMILES.

1t seems that all times Of life are
adapted for happiness, yet If we grow
old in performing kind acts and strewlng
sweet smiles, viii not the last days OF
life be the happiest of all; have we not
remembrance of hearts rich in sympa-
thy, who in days gone by had gwen US
Kind words and loving smiles, soothing
ms in our desolation; and though words
came not in return, for there are times
when grief is too deep for utterance,
vet from the deepest recesses Of our
hearts, rises praise to God that he has
given us loving friends to care for us,
when many of our hopes have been
crushed by the heavy hand of disap-
pointment, and hearts that were once
warm with the sunshine of love have
grown cold. We know full well the
value of kind words, often have they
been tested upon weary heart in sad
and troubled hours, and may i who
have felt their influence never forget to
awaken in others the same rich music.
Sometimes we meet spirits strong to en-
dure, who, if crushed to the dust, will
rise again, and fling from them every
bitter remembrance of the past, go on
their way unmurmuring, with stronger
faith and more perfect trust. Others
like the frail flowers of the spring-time,
who can scarcely bear the breath of the
light dew. Then let us ever speak
kindly. Ever kindly to the young, cast
not cloud Ger youthful hours
Enough of sorrow will come by and by
to sadden the spirit. Speak kindly to
the old, never pass them by with care
less. slight cold tone, every heart hath
its burden of care, every heart its own
bitterness, and we know not the depth
of feeling struggling in the soul. Let
sympathy for earth's saddened ones,
gush from the soul. all pure and free,
and thus the good we might do here
will not be marred, by harsh words.
Who will not be kind, to spend an hour
with those who are afflicted, in body or
mind,
'1s worth thousand passed,
In pomp and ease-'tis present TO the last"
Who can tell the value of kind words,
and smiles. 1t costs the giver nothing,
yet is beyond price to the erring and
relenting, the sad and cherries, the
lost and forsaken. 1t turns hatred to
love, paves the darkest paths with
gems of sunlight, a kind act or look
is never lost and seldom forgotten
Perchance one smile may cheer sor-
rowing spirit-dry one tear, bind one
breaking heart, for he that has dried a
single tear, has not lived in vain; the
sweet memories of the past. are con-
stantly coming back to cheer the gloom
of the present.
