BILE to pass through life without quarrels,
seeing the old proverb holds good, that it
requires two to consummate any such un-
pleasant business. A. may quarrel with B.
This is misfortune, which possibly A.
may in no way be able to avoid. A man
may pick quarrel for Interior purposes, or
he may be insolent or offensive without
knowing it, or he may take a perverse de-
light in wounding other peoples feelings.
But in any case it depends on B. alone
whether there is to be mutual quarrel.
If, like Wellington, he avoids acting in anger
or haste-always the two great termenters
of trouble-he will always invariably come
to despise the affront, if intended, Or to
overlook it if not AT all events he will not

berth in future, be may shun association
with him, but he will have no alteration,
and he will nurse no grudge. If required
to make personal statement, oral or writ

GOODNESS.

A Picture.

This morning, as I rode through the
country, | saw a young mother her child
her only companion) sitting, sewing at her
cottage door. l was going to say it was
quite an English scene, as if such a scene
was not as universal as life itself. A curly
headed urchin, just master of its plump,
round legs, in its play, run TO hide itself
from its mother round the corner of the
house. There it stood, both arms extended,
fattening itself against the wall, in the
bright sunshine, and laughing aloud at the
idea of being out of sight. The pleased
mother pretended not to have seen the fu-
gitive, pretended not to hear the laugh which
told her he was safe and close at hand. The
child had itself only to be discovered. 1t
was playing at being lost-say rather at
being found. Soon the mother would give
chase, and snatch the little captive in her
arms. What a shower of kisses was In
store-for both for both
Oh, happy time for mother and for child.
On other occasions, as have passed by this
cottage, the mother has been sitting at the
open window, and the child amusing itself,
as if alone, in the garden-absorbed with
no mortal can say what-busy at the same
structure Of strange device: dirt sticks,
straws, mingled together for some architec-
tural purpose, hidden from all eyes but his
own. That cottage garden has often led
sack my thoughts to my own childhood and
my own early home.
l, who have so short time to live, feel
as old men feel. l find myself, for hours
together, travelling through retrospect of
the past. l can now understand and forgive
the garrulity of old age, which dwells for
ever on scenes of boyhood and of youth.
Memory, and not hope, has become the star
of life. Have patience with the old man
he must pause, and turn and look behind +;
there lies for him the "happy valley" if any
where on earth. When we have bid fare
we'll to all our joys, there is yet another
parting-almost as sad-our farewell to the
memory of them. What hosts of long
forgotten things rush from their hiding p'a-
ces to look at me once more, and for the last
time.-1horndale

HAPPY OLD BACHELOR.
He referred to the visit of the week be-
fore, from Mr.. Willis, whose letter he has
just been reading in the Home Journal.
81 am most glad" said he, that Mr..
Willis remembered my nieces they are my
housekeepers and nurses; they take such
good care of me that really l am the most
fortunate old bachelor in the world Yes,'
he repeated with merry emphasis, " the
most fortunate old bachelor in all the
world !"
1t was delightful to witness the animation
of his manner, and the heartiness of his
gratitude, as he continued to relate how
they supplied all his wants-gave him his
medicine at the right time, without troub-
ling him to look at the clock for himself
called him down to breakfast--cloaked and
shawled him for his morning ride-brought
him his hat for his fine weather walks-and
in every possible way humored him in every
possible whim!

said, 'but oftener my daughters
HIS LOVE OF CHILDREN, AND THEIRS OF HIM.
As rose to 60, he brought from cor
ner of the room photograph of little
girl, exhibiting it with great enthusiasm.
1t was gift from little child, who had
come to see him every day during his sick
ness. The picture was accompanied with a
note printed in large letters with lead
pencil, by the little correspondent, who said
she was too young to write. He spoke with
great vivacity of his childish visitor.
Children" said the old man, care great
pets; l am very fond of the little creatures. "
REJUvENATED.
As came away, the old gentleman bun
died his shawl about him, and stood a few
moments on the steps. A momentary burst
of sunshine fell on him through the break
ing clouds. In that full light he looked
still less like an old man than in the dark
parIor by the shaded window. His form
was slightly bent, but the humor of the
early portraits was still lingering in his face.
He was the same genial, generous, merry
eyed man at seventy-seven that Jarvis had
painted him nearly fifty years before.

Brown during the Attack upon tn
ArmOry.

ArmOry.
From the Louisville Journal.
A distinguished citizen of Indiana, pro-
badly Gov. Willard, who attended the late
trials at Charlestown, Va, had an interview,
while there, with Mr.. Washington, who was
one of Old Browns prisoners in the United
States Armory. Mr.. Washington freely
admits that the prisoners were treated with
gentleness and humanity, yet he came to the
conclusion, that in some respects Old Brown
is terrible ruffian at heart.
According to Mr.. Washington's state
ment, Old Brown, during the investment of
the Armory and the attack upon it by the
troops, was the busiest and most vigilant of
all the rebels in watching through loop
holes and crevices for opportunities to kill
those outside. Whilst he was watching,
rifle in hand, one of his own was shot thro'
the body and fell within four or five feet Of
him. The young man groaned and cried
aloud in his agony, begging that some one
of his comrades would kill him at once.
Thereupon, Old Brown turned for few
moments an unmoved, an unsympathizing
glance upon his expiring son, sternly babe
him be silent and die like man, and then
instantly turned his attention back to his
own work of killing. A short time after
wards his other son was shot down almost
exactly like the first, with loud means, called
upon comrade for a revolver, that he might
kill himself. And Old Brown, turning upon
him as he had turned upon the other broth.
er, rebuked him for his noise, without word
or look of sympathy or regret, and straight
way betook himself again to the business of
murder. And all the while, standing with
his two dying sons behind him, and holding
his rife pointed in front, be was drumming
at intervals upon the barrel Of his weapon
of death with the fingers of his left hand, as
calmly and with as much apparent unconcern
as if he had been engaged in some kind of
amusement.
There can be no doubt of Old Browns
GOODNESS and untamable courage, but such
qualities cannot compensate for the absence
of the ordinary sensibilities of human ma
ture. 1t is not enough that be can look
upon his own death as immovably as he
could contemplate the death and hear the
death grOans of his children.

HASTE NOT--REST NOT,

Without haste! without rest -
Bind the motto to thy breast
Bear it with thee as spell;
Storm or sunshine, guard it well:
Heed not flowers that round thee bloom
Bear it onward to the tomb
Haste not-let no thoughtless deed
Mar fore er the spirits speed;
Ponder we'll and know the right,
Onward then with all thy might;
Haste not-years can ne'er atone
For one reckless action done
Rest not life is sweeping by,
Go and dare before you die;
Something mighty and sublime
Leave behind to conquer time
Glorious It's to live for aye
When these forms have passed away.
Haste not rest not - Calmly wait
Meekly bear the storms of fate;
Duty be thy polar guide;
Do the right, what'er betide
Haste not rest not Conflicts past.
God shall crown thy work at last!-GoETHE.

A Quack Doctors Career.
SENTENCE OF DR.. W. H. NJ. HOWARD, OF BRAD
FORD, VERMONT.

From the Boston Traveller, November 9th.
This notorious individual, who has so long
managed to elude justice, has at length met
his reward, he having been sentenced to two
years imprisonment in the State Prison at
Windsor, on Saturday last. Howard, it will
be remembered, was convicted some months
since, at Chelsea, of having procured abor-
ton; the case was q most atrocious one.
He appealed to the Superior Court, but it
refused him a new trial. Towards real
name is Drew, and though he asserts himself
an Englishman, is native of Limerick,
Ireland. On establishing himself at Thet-
ford, Vermont, few years since, he gave
out that he was surgeon in the British
army, and that he had attended Queen Vic
toria by special request but, as some know
ing ones discovered that he could neither
read or write, that story went for nothing.
He set up dashing team, and soon got,
by sheer brass, the name of "great doctor"
But an action for malpractice shook faith in
him, and he had to pay $1,000 damages.
While in full blast he was recognized at
Bradford as man who, under the name of
Houghton, had, by reason of false pretences,
oWiuoiOo CuC Dui mug IOu OohN ouo W AioAS
than thousand dollars; this he paid to es
cape punishment. He was rext arrested
for rape on patient, the wife of a student
of Dartmouth College. The death of his
victim let him out of this scrape for time ;
but her dying declaration Sill hangs over
him. While at Bradford he attended man
who died, and whose widow he married,
taking possession of all her property which
he got hold of; she died last summer, broken
hearted.
He was next arrested on the charge for
Which he has been convicted. At his house
near Bradford, there died, last summer, three
young females, in the course of few weeks.
All had sought his aid to hide their shame.
Suspicion was excited and one of the bodies
examined. He was committed but released
on bail. He dashed about in great style,
and felt confident that his luck would carry
him through, but the Supreme Court of
Montpelier decided his fate, and for two
years at least, this fellow will be prevented
from practici' g on the creduIity of the pub
lie. Howard left Montpelier for Windsor
on Tuesday strongly guarded.
