late at night, AMI absent to such a de-

4 GOOD ONE.

The California papers relate story
which is worth repeating. A lawyer Of
San Francisco became Cnamored Of a
married lady, and she, afteI a short strug-
gle, agreed that his destinations were If,
resistable. But she coull Only captnlate
upon condition of marriage, and as long
as she was wife she would not give
b m any encouragement. The lawyer,
who was wealthy. instituted suit for
divorce, but as the husband had an ire
proachable life. no testimony TO sustain
the suit could be found.
The wife suggested 10 her would be
lover that as she could not prove any,
thing against her husband, it might be
well TO entrap him by some trick, and
thereby manufacture evidence. To set
lie the matter as speedily as possible,
the lawyer applied to the husband, and
offered him two thouSa d dollars if he
would withdraw his objections to the di-
vorce, or give him proof of his infdelity.
The latter plan was adopted as most ex
pc lent, and consen ing to be watched
by two persons. he visited a di reputable
place of resort, furnished evidence OF
guilt, and at the same hour received his
two thousand dollars. The divorce suit
was the referred to an attorney to re-

upon which it is pretty well believed a

BAYARD TAYLOR WITH THE FIN
NISH GIRLS.

Bayard Taylor has some novel adven-
lures in his Northern European tour, and
meets with strange customs and curios-
tiles. In his last letter he tells US about
stopping corple of nights with very
friendly old Finnish lady, where he got
a bed with Sheets The first night the
mother and her sons were so amazed to
see him undress before retiring, that they
were curiosity bound and did not leave
their stand point in the room until he
was snugly covered up. The revelation
of what they had seen, 10 other members
of the family, produced most wonder
full audience The second night. On this
occasion he writes:
"Three buxom daughters, of agN,
ranging from sixteen to twenty two, aP-
peared about the time for retiring, and
stationed themselves in row near the
door. where they watched US with silent
curiosity. As we had shown no heSlta-
tion in the Grst case, We determined to-
be equally courageous nov, and CON-
menced removing our garments with de-
liberation, allowing them to fully inspect
them. The work TINS proceeded in
mutual silence until we were nearly
ready for repose, when by pulling off
stocking and displaying the muscular
calf, suddenly alarmed tie youngest,
who darted to the door and rushed out.
The second caught the panic and fol-
lowed, and the third and oldest was
obliged to do likewise, though with evil
dent reluctance. The perfect composure
of the girls. and the steadiness with
which they watched US, Showed that
they were quite unconscious of having
committed any impropriety."

From the Olive Branch.
THE GREEN MOUNTAIN BEiUTY,
The Lawyers Uneducated Bride.
BY EMMA CLARA.


Edward Bowers was young gentle
man of education and wealth, but he
possessed many pecu!iarities of character
tEat caused hi; friends TO call him very
eccentric, and no one trait seemed more
marked than his belief in the utter non
sense, as he termed it, of cultivating the
female intellect; but, nevertheless, there
was touch of romance about him.
"Ifever marry a wife," said he, "she
shall be as beautiful in form and features
as those bright fairy bein IS my imagina
tion pictured in my boyhood. Her cheek
shall wear the tint of the rose, and her
mellow blue eyes shall light with love at
my coming. The tones of her voice shall
be sweet and low, as the notes of an Eo
Ian harp: her costume shall not be heavy
and burdensome TO her, but it shall float
and wave around her symmetrical form,
as if il feared that contact with the beau
tiful being it covered, would cause her
dissolution.
''You will think differently of these
things by and by, Ned said Calvin
Eaton, q married friend. ga ballroom

ferent beings. Believe me, when few
years have passed over your head, and

you on subjects in which you feel an in
terest. Now mind what l tell yo1. Ned,
if you marry Amy Norwood you will
wish yourself in heaven more than once
before your hair is silvercd"
The young man addressed, colored
triae. and drawing himself up to his full
height, he remarked, "why, she is as
handsome as an houri, Cal, with those
soft dreamy eyes of hers. and that ala
baster chest from which a voice comes

"And suppose she has little leisure

nor detail the particulars of the lawyer 5
hnding suitable place for his young
wife to board, where she received the
best of instruction in all the essential
branches of an Engli,h education. AZ
ter short absence OF his wife, Mr.. Bow
ers informed some few of his friends that
as tn country air agreed so well with
her, and he fancied suburban residence
he should purchase place few miles
from the city, and live there six months
in the year at least. The residence was
purchased and the happy couple furn-
ished it TO suit their tastes, and a private
teacher was engaged for Amy, who in
her anxiety to learn, had given further
proof Of the truth of the adage that it is
never 10 late TO mend.
A year and half hal passed since
the light hearted Amy Norwood had be-
come MIR. Bowers. To be sure the time
was not long. but it had produced a
marked change in the rustic beauty, and
the lawyer was not only proud of his
wife's handsome fare and form but he
felt an inward pride in her manner. Her
education was not completed he felt, but
she was far enough advanced 10 make
the best e all she hid learned. She
could converse with ease on literary
topics, and was no longer ignorant OF the
manner in which the cities OF The old
world were buried, " why the ruins of
an lent temples and statuary so interested
the traveller. In short, even her husband
was astonisbed at the amount of infor-
nation she had acquired in this sp ce of
time, and yet his surprise was ST. ht
compared with the wo-der of those who
knew her before she became his wife
All remarked how serious and womauly
she had grown, bu; her correct manner
OF speaking they could not account for.
One day the lawyer was sitting in his
Office alone when the door opened and in
walked his friend Calvin Eaton. There
was a rogui~h smile about his mouth,
and Edward thought in moment he
tad discovered his seer, /, but he said
nothing 10 enligh'en either Calvin or
himself. How are you. Ned?' sail Mr.
Eaton, giving him a f miliar slap on the
shoulder. What do you think Of educa-
ting WON IL now, hey?' And the fri nd
broke into hearty laugh. and then con-
tinued, You might as well own it. old
boy, for l have found it all out. Coun-
try folks are not very good hands at
keeping secreis-ha, ha, ha Pretty
coed idea that country air!'
The lawyer tried to frown a little at
FIRST, but when he f. und that Mr.. Eaton
had learned of his employing teachers.
he gave i; up and jOinei in tie laugh,
saying that when he spent but little
time in female society. he did not real
izie any inconvenience from lack Of
education in woman, for The contrast
amused rather that annoyed him but he
acknowledged that Calvin was right in
saying that when he came to choose a
life partner to share his home and clothe
it with honor. he would desire his wife
t, be familiar with the subjects on which
he loved to converse; ard that no amount
Of beauty or superficial accomplishments
could compensate for loss Of reSptci
which the educated or superior ole
would feel TO-. the inferior.
