completely wretched.
1t was not till Patty stood beside him
whom her heart had 50 freely chosen, to be
made his in the presence Of God and nian
that she dared to shadow forth the blissful
and happy emotions that filed her bosom.
The change was so sudden and complete
that her father noticed it
"Ah, she is making the best OF it as I khet
she would" he said to his wife, in a tone Of
triumph, "See what it is to have frmness
and judgment. If she could have her own
way, she would have married that contempt
ioIe coxcomb, Fitzpoodle, instead of being the
wife Of an honest and sensible man."
As time passed on, proving the truth worth
Of the heart she had won but binding it to her
own by yet nearer ties, Patty felt that earth
did not contain happier home than her own
Her father, however, took the whole credit
to himself declaring that she owned her hap
piness entirely to him, and often asked her if
she did not remember how bent she was on
rejecting Charley, and throwing herself away
upon the most worthless man in town.
Patty never attempted to disproye these
assertions, though She sometimes remarked,
with aroguish smile, that she was not the
only person who "went by contraries."

Matters Of Course.

THERE are certain things in this world
which have so uniformly turned out in the
same way, that nobody dreams of their re-
sulting in any other. In short, they are set
down as "matters Of course" For exam
pie:
When bank suspends specie payments, ii
is always done for the public good, as mat
ter of course.
If the said bank becomes irtetrie7ably in
solvent; and forced to liquidate its affairs the
directors publish a card stating that the as
sets are amply sufficient to pay everything
as matter of course.
People who put any degree of confidence
in such statements are always deceived and
disappointed, as matter of course.
When man commits a murder, or for
gerry, and is detected and tried, he is proved
to be insane, as matter Of course.
When fire occurs, whether it proves de-
structive of property or not, it is the work Of
an incendiary, as a matter OF course.
When two locomotives come into collision
on a railroad, destroying each other, knock
ing half dozen cars to pieces, killing dozen
passengers, and wounding twice as many
more, the public are promised full informa-
ton concerning the same "as matter Of
course"
When such information comes, if at all, it
exculpates everybody from blame, as a matter
Of course.
When quack medicine is invented, it is
tremendously pufed, as a matter Of course.
But everybody who believes one half that
is stated of its wonderful virtues gets egreg-
iously humbugged, as a matter of course.
Every man of intelligence and common
sense is a subscriber to newspaper, and, if
he is honest, be pays his subscription punctu-
ally, as a matter of course.
