and as the ruddy,, freight plays over her
careworn features, he looks upon her with
eyes suddenly grown lustrous and beauti-
tul. He lifts his great hand softly, till it
rests on her shoulders, as he says:
" | love you, dear Nary
How the poor heart leaps into love, light
and rest How vanish the cares that trod
upon her weary soul She no more re-
members the toilsome washing. She reflects
not now that the pretty babe with flushed
cheeks against her breast has worn her
patience treadbare with its constant tears
and unrest. She forgets that the fire would
smoke. the broth burn, that the children
teased her, that the line broke and that every
limb in her framed ached with fatigue.
What were those in comparison with the
steadfast love that had burned for eighteen
years, in the sunlight of happiness, through
the clouds Of despair, when beauty made her
winning, and when her charms of loveliness
had gone and freshness of youth departed
forever? What cared she for aught cut
side her home. though she had many sor-
rows, waiio such words thrilled her whole
being:
I" / love you, dear Mary"

The Young Wfe's Secret,

A young and hapPy-lOoking couple we're
seated at breakfast, on the morning after
their short honeymoon trip, when this ques-
ton was asked
GA better time, dear James, could not
be chosen, but would you really like to
hear it p
"Why not? The sooner we begin to act
upon it the better"
THAT is true, james, but would you not
prefer to find it out yourself?"
ooh, ! have been trying to guess ever
since you first tod me Of it. Perhaps it is
no secret after all.

told me that all her happiness was owing to
it. Were she alive now, she would witness
its effect on u.s.
"4Ou quite puzzle me, Eliza; it must be
something extraordinary, if, as you say, it
prevents man and wife ever having d &C.

Il am quite ready to tell you, James;
but | am sure that your plea sure will be
greater in finding it out yourself Fortune
favors the persevering."
"Ah, know now. You mean that we
are to count hundred, or fill our mouth
with water, or twirl chain, or some such
way of getting cool when we happen to
get angry"
"NO, James, none of these. 1t is much
more certain, and attended with better
effects"

ourselves up in different rooms, or not speak
to one another for a week.

Heaven forbid that we should ever be driven

my secret we shall always love each other
as truly as we do now. Our trust in one

live the happier we shall be.

COOPERATION.

The New York Star of recent date
in referring to the cooperative move
ments on foot in that city says:
The working classes Of this city are
taking hold of the subject Of co-opera-
ton in good earnest. This is step
forward, and shows that the working
men are steadily moving forward in the
right direction. We have now a well
established cooperative printing estab-
lishment and also cooperative tailor
ing establishment in this city, both Of
which have been in existence long
enough to demonstrate the fact that
this system Of business is practicable,
and can be made to work advantage
ously, when the right kind Of men are
selected to conduct the enterprise, and
the probability is that the coming
Spring will witness the Inauguration of
several other movements Of this descrip-
ton. The Clothing Cutters, who pro-
pose to open a cooperative clothing
mandatory early next Spring, have
effected q thorough organization Of
their Association, and will, at the next
session of the State Legislature, apply
for charter. The capital stock Of this
Company will be 100000 divided into
shares OF So each, but the concern will
be opened with subscribed capital Of
SIC. 600. The knights Of ST. Crispin
are also discussing the subject of Coz
operation, in connection with this trade,
and it is believed that next summer will
witness the opening Of large cooper
alive boot and shoe manutactary, con
ducted by these men. The association
Just organized, known as the Cham
ber Of Cooperative Industry" will, no
doubt, accomplish good work in the
direction Of awakening the working
men to a sense Of their duty, as re-
CARDS the Inauguration Of these move
ments. The officers of this last men
toned association are determined to
make the organization a live, practical
affair, and one whose influence viii be
felt throughout the entire working com
munity. Last evening the officers Of
the association, viz, President Young,
Vice Presidents Blissert and ROsen-
stock, Secretary Browning, Treasurer
Wood, and Corresponding Secretary
Hill, met at the residence Of the Presl-
dent, in King street, for the purpose OF
LAYING down the basis of the grand
work in which they are now engaged.
This is the first movement Of the kind
which has ever taken place in the coun-
trv. and it IS hoped that it will rec We
the encouragement Of workingmen
generally. The gentlemen at the head
Of the enterprise are all well known to
the public as honest and earnest work
ers in the cause Of labor. Another
public meeting under the auspices of
the association soon to be held at Early
Closing Hall.

cessaTy for the construction Of home which

ty in appearance
To all of The class referred to, the design
possesses a special interest. The front of
the cottage presents an appearance which,
while simple, is by no means devoid OF taste,
and the neat porch, with the seats represent
ed at the sides, forms an addition both useful
and ornamental. On the first floor, both
sittng-room and kitchen arc Arge and pleas
ant rooms, very conveniently situated, with
the accompanying closets md the pantry
easily accessible A closet under the stair
way opens into the sitting room. The pas
sage affords ready communication between
the rooms, and does not allow the noise and
odors of the kitchen to penetrate to the ap-
artments in front. The stairway is provided
with light from transoms over the doors. On
the second floor are three large chambers,
each with its own closet, and with a
separate entrance from the bali. Room is
also found for a general store closet. All
the closets are to be provided with shelves
and hooks. The house is so built that no
hall room is wasted, all the space being put
to use. Air can freely circulate throughout
the rooms, and ventilation is greatly aided
BY means Of the transom lights.
Carpenters estimate the probable cost eff
the cottage at not more than one thousand
dollars. One Of its chief recommendations
consists in its rectangular shape, which per-
mts its erection on narrow city lots, or BE-
tween nearly adjacent buildings.

their commissions with promptness and
