| WoMAN's LAUGH.-A woman has no
| natural grace more brilliant than a sweet
laugh. 1t is like the sounds of flutes on
the water. 1t leaps from Ler heart in q
clear, sparkling rill, and the heart that
bears it feels as if bathed in the COO, ex-
hilerating spring. Have you ever pur.
sued an unseen fugitive through trees, led
on by her fairy laugh, now here, now there,
now lost, now found? We have. And
we are pursuing that wandering voice to
this day. Sometimes it comes to us in the
midst of care or sorrow, or irksome busi-
ness-and then we turn away and listen,
and hear it ringing through the room like
a silver bell, with power to scare away the
ill spirits of the mind.
How much we owe to that sweet laugh
comming up from the long ago past and
living in the present to be found the COM
panion of so many ladies who, pure from
affection, and give not away to the griefs
of the world, having not forgotten to laugh
in the same sweet manner when, as girl,
they knew not of the follies and sorrows
of earth. 1t turns the prose of our life in
to poetry-hings showers ofsunshinc over
the darksome road we are travelling, and
touches with light even our sleep. Truly
the innocent laugh of woman, springing
up and gushing forth from their tender
hearts, will prove more soothing to man
when the cares of life Cypress him than
aught else on earth besides. Then let ev-
cry lady, both old and young, cultivate
those forms which can more readily win
Al IL
upon their faces the softening smile of af-
fection, and withhold not from mans cars
those sounds which will make him forget
the world and love thee still the more.

Old StanwiX tells the folloWlDS Ueor-
gia story, and vouches for its truthful
ness:
About thirty-three and third years
ago. there dwclt in one of the rural dis
tricts of Georgia an old codger by the
name of Butt Cutt Kayler, who had for
merly enjoyed the honors and emolu-
ments pertaining to the Office of Justice
of the Peace, the duties of which Office
he discharged with acknowledged ability
and dignity and so far us his neighbors
were capable of Judging, he appeared to
be a very honest man. Hc had, however,
acquired the habit of "trumping up" &C
counts against the estates Of those Of his
neichbors who were so unfortunate as to
SHUTTLE off their mortal coils" within the
bounds of his bailwick. He had carried
the practice to such an extent as TO arouse
suspicion in the minds of some of his
meddlesome neighbors that there night

seat of his :" financial operations. Bob

having an idea that the 'Squire's honesty
should be quoted below par, concluded,
with the connivancc and assistance OF 4
few comrades, to ssunearth the sly old
fox" and expose his rascalitics. Accord
ing y Bob pretended to die, was regularly
shrouded and laid out on the cooling board
in the most approved fashion, and sor-
rowing friends proceeded to spread the
news Of his demise, which soon reached
the ears of old Butt Cutt. He lost no
time in repairing to the house of mourn
ing. carrying with him "full and COM
pletc assortment" of first class coincidence
and sympathy, for gratuitous distribution,
among the members of the bereaved FAM
lily, and the many sorrowing friends OF
the supposed deceased, who were present
when he arrived. After he had relieved
his heart of it's burden Of healing words,
and had succeeded in tolerable effort at
crying, and was about to leave the scene,
he tenderly spoke as follows:
"Ah, poor Bob; I'm sorry ne died-hc
was good Teller, and I allus liked him.
When me and him went to the races at
Augusta-now nigh unto two years ago

bay mare and he lost, and has never
paid me a cent of that money from that
day to this. Poor feller he forgot it |
reckon, but it's honest debt; Of course
1 can git it out of his estate, and"
Butt Cutt didn't finish the sentence, fol
lust at this point Bob, the corpse, slowly
raised up in his shroud, and stretching
out his arms toward the rogue. as II to
clutch him, yelled

The din and roar drowned the rest, and
old Butt Cutt didn't wait to see or heal
anything moro, but with the hurried ex
clamation, "goddemity" he shot through
the door, hurried to his home, "packed his
traps" and not only left the neighbor
hood, but the State of Georgia, forever

was whispered all AROUND the room.
Meanwhile, Frederick Lane stood like
one enchanted, while his little rustic wife
quoted books with perfect abandon, adj
miring this one, cordemning that.
A sedate looking young student lost
himself in Latin quotation; Helen smi-
lingly finished it, and she received look
of eloquent thanks. Bon mots, repartee,
language rich, fancy and imagery, fell
from her beautiful lips, as if they had re-
ceived touch from some fairy hand.
Still Frederick walked by her side like
one in dream, pressed his hands over
his eyes, bewildered like, to be sure Of his
senses, when he saw her bending, breath
ing vision Of ,loveliness, over the harp,
her full arm leaning On it's golden strings,
heard again the rich voice, now plaintive
with some tender memory, rise and fall
in sweet and sorrowful cadence.
"Tcll me-" ne said when alone, "what
does this mean / feel like one awaken
ed from dream"
"Only country girl" said Helen, then
falling into her husbands arms she ex-
claimed, "forgive me, am that little rus
tic that you wouldaasooner die than wed.
Are you sorry you married me 2"
''Sorry, my glorious wife. But, Helen,
you could not deceive. Did l not under

taught to sing, all very true, and yet ]

to be-"
Reader wouldn't you and I like to be
there just now and hear her story, and
see the bright smiles between her pretty
face and dimplcs, as she tells how she
banished the piano, books, harp, portfolio
music, all in an empty room by them
selves, and locking the door, leaving them
to seclusion and dust, while the young
country girl, without any deep-laid
scheme, succeeded in convincing the we'll
bred city gentleman that lie could marry
a charming rustic, if her fingers were
more familiar with the churn and knitting
needles than with the piano and books!

/ HONORABLE CoURTsHIp.-We heard q
very pretty incident the other day, which
we cannot help relating. A young lady
from the South, it seems, was woocd and
won by youthful physician living in
California. When the engagement was
made the doctor was rich, having been
very successful at San Francisco. 1t had
not existed many months, however, when,
by an unfortunate investment, he lost his
entire "help." The event came upon
him, it should be added, just as he was
about to claim his bride. What does he
do? Why, like an honorable and chival-
rous young fellow, as he is, he sits down
and writes the young lady the particulars
of the unhappy turn which had taken
place in his fortunes, assuring her that il
the fact produced any change of feeling
towards him, she was released from all
the promises she had made to him. And
what does she, the dear, good girl? Why
she takes lump of pure gold, which her
lover had sent her in his prosperity as a
keepsake, and having it manufactured
into ring, forwards it to him, with the
following Bible inscription engraved in
distinct characters on the outside:
"Entreat me not to leave thee, or to ro,
turn from following after thee; for whittier
thou goest will go, and where thou
lodgest [ will lodge; thy people shall be
my people; and thy God shall be my God
where thou diest I will die, and there will
1 be buried; the Lord do so to me and
more also, if aught but death part me and
thee" The lover idolized his sweetheart
more than ever, when he received this
precious evidence of her devotion to him
both in storm and sunshine. We may
add that fortune soon again smiled upon
the young physician, and that he subsc-
quently returned to the South to wed the
sweet girl be loved, and who loved him
with such an undying affection. Young
ladies who read the Bible, as the heroine
of this incident seems to have done, are
pretty sure to make good swocthearts and
better rwivcs-LouSciUe Journal.
