again in such another day of genuine enjoy
ment.
AS Doctor Eglinton was bidding adieu te
Mrs. Ravenswood, Miss Bainbridge passed on
her way to the carriage, leaning on gentle
mans arm.
"Is she not too lovely, too interesting" ex'
claimed the doctor, with exaggerated warmth
eyes," feebly assented Mrs. Ravenswood
"very handsome"
A panied expression fitted over her face,
and though she smiled as she met the glance
of Doctor Eglinton's blue eyes, the smile was
but sickly attempt. At all events, its i'm
port was not lost on Ralph. Perhaps hecon'
sidered it an evidence of great weakness in
Florimond's character, but no doubt it would
be painful reflection to any woman, that the
man whom few weeks before had declared
an unalterable attachment to herself, was now
devoted to another.
"But men are all fckle," thought Mrs. Ra-
venswood, as she stood on the piazza and
bowed a smiling adieu to the last carriage full
of departing guests, "and in this instance 1
am glad he is no exception to the general
rule" Nevertheless, it was with no feeling
of gladness that she entered the house, but
with languid pulse and tagging footsteps.
This lovely woman, who but few moments
before had been aaush with excitement and
apparent enjoyment, now, with an unaccount-
able oppression at her heart, wended her way
to the quiet room, where her unconscious
child was sleeping that sleep of the innocent.
It was no doubt the strongest, the very inmost
desire, of this pure woman's heart, that Ralph
Eglinton should cease to love her, and she
had conscientiously and unfalteringly done
everything in her power to prevent the con-
tinuation of love which, under the circum-
stances, she had no right to encourage; but
now that she had succeeded in her designs
and estranged his heart, Florimond did not
feel that secret satisfaction and inward re-
compense which she had expected as the re-
ward of her honorable conduct "Virtue is
its own reward" and yet Florimond having
performed, as she thought, a virtuous deed,
her heart still yearned for love-love. She
kissed the happy, sleeping child, and then
throwing herself lapguidly on the bed, re-
peated those words of George Sand, which
have been thus translated:
"We all need to be loved, in order that the
good in US may be developed but we need to
be loved each differently: one with unweary-
ing indulgence-another with steady sever
ity."
"And I think" said Florimond with a
heavy sigh, "if had only loved Albert Dand-
ridge with unwearying indulgence, I might
now be happy woman"

then you must put Berta under some other
physicians charge. I cannot conscientiously
recommend this country practitioner in the
village, for I know nothing of his quali6ca-
tions"
"I would not think of such thing! ex-
claimed Mrs. Ravenswood. "What! Take
her from under your care, when you have
been the means ofsaving her life when you
have been so kind, so good to her, and when
she is so fond of you
"Then may Gomez" said Doctor Eglinton,
standing before her, hat in hand, and happy
smile parting his lips.
"Doctor," said Mrs. Ravenswood, slowly
and with solemn significance, "come only as
often as Berta's condition renders it positively
necessary-and no oftener. I leave it to your
conscience"

eyes, dear, your uncle Ralph"
"I am quite willing to be your uncle Ralph,
little one," said the doctor, kissing the child,
"but when it comes to being your mammas
brother, cannot say that I quite fancy the
relationship" .
"Brother-or friend-or nothing? said
Mrs. Ravenswood, coldly.
"Brother or friend, either, rather than moth
ing," said Ralph, "and now good night"
The doctor meditated very deeply on his
homeward ride 'My devotion" y" thought he,
"gains me nothing; she is too accustomed to
it, to have it bear much weight with her. 1

and become like Lysander, man of subtlety

GooD SOUND ADv1cE.-Never throw
stone at any one until you have looked to see
whether there is a window behind, or you
may have to pay rather dearly for your re-
venge. Never leave your hat in the passage,
unless it is bad one. Never be executor of
a will, as it is all liability, great trouble, and
no profit. Never quarrel with your wife, as
you will only have to make it up, and pay
for the reconciliation. Never mention you
have received legacy, or some impertinent
fellow will be asking you to stand dinner.
Never pay to see balloon 60 up, as you can
see it much better by remaining outside.

THE BEST FRIEND.

They gave me advice and counsel In store,
Praised me and honored me more and more;
Said that only should wait while,
Offered their patronage, too, with smile.
But with all their honor and appreciation,
lshoud long ago have died Of starvation,
Had there not come an excellent man,
Who bravey 10 help me along began.
Good fellow !-he got me the food ate,
His kindness and care shall never forget;
Yet, cannot embrace him; though other folks can,
For | myself am this excellent man.

BENEFITS OF A LARGE FAM1LY.-A large
family is host in itself It's members are
not dependent for amusements upon strangers.
They are always numerous enough to be able
to organize their own games. Let there be
plenty of boys and girls, and there can never
be any lack of masculine fun and femi-
nine fun. "They quarrel" it will be said.
Of course they do, and herein lies the great
advantage of a large family against a small
one. Their interests are so many, and from
moment to moment so various, that they are
everlastingly clashing. What better prepa-
ration could there be for life? They snub and
are snubbed, contradict and are contradicted,
till it gets thoroughly impressed upon the
mind of each one, early in existence, that he
is not the only one in the world, before whom
everybody must bow and give way. The do
mestic circle becomes thus a miniature public
school, in which all its advantages are ao
quired.

A PosER.-Having been told that Adam

broke out with the question, "Who was the

familias. Eve never had girlhood, and the
sacred record is silent as to her daughters
Cain found wife but we know not even her
name, much less where he got her. The first
women mentioned by name after Eve are
Arlah and Zillah, the wives of Lamench, but
neither of these was the First Girl. The first
woman mentioned with prominence after Eve
is Sarah, who was born two thousand years
after the first woman was created. What
were all women kind doing during these two
thousand years, that we hear nothing from
them? The First Girl! What an interest
ing object to contemplate! Was she fast
girl, we wonder, or "a girl of the period, and
did she follow the fashion set by mother Eve,
or did she invent new ones for herself? 1t
would be interesting to know whom she mar
ried, and what her wedding outfit was, and
where the happy couple went to spend the
honeymoon. But we suspect the First Girl
hadn't much choice in those matters, the Pat
riarchs, though they all begat sons and
daughters, being opposed to woman's rights,
and utterly scouting female suffrage.

Alleged Violation of the Internal Revc-
nue. Law-The Case OF Henry How ard
The Defendant Discharged.
Yesterday Commissioner Osborn rendered his
decision in the case OF Henry Howard, who was
charged with having made false and fraudulent
returns OF his income distiller In 1869, and
presented the same to the Collector OF Internal
Revenue For the purpose OF proving the alleged
Onence II was sought to introduce in evidence for
the prosecution a paper found among the docu-
that this was Howard's return OF his income Tor
1859, inasmuch as 1t contained his signature and
the verifcauon OF the statement yherein con-
tanned, and also the name OF the street and the
number OF the house in which Howard resided at
that time. Mr.. l.. w. Emerson, counsel for Howard,
objected to the introduction OF the paper in ques-
ton as evidence, holding that the government had
not connected Howard with It.
Commissioner Osborn in hls decision says:-'To
sustain the charge oil crinlinaty there should be

Howe In an astute argument, endeavored to con.
lamb-ike innocence. The statute, he claimed,
simply provided for the punishment OF those who
were found in possession OF TOOLS on their person,
with intent to commit burglary, and that the mere
fact that kit OF burglars tools had been found In
the prisoners room did not sufhcienty make out
an offence.
Mr.. Phelps contended that the finding OF these
tools in the prisoners possession was all that the
law required TO make out q case against him.
Judge Ingraham said that he had great doubt
whether an offence had been made out, AMI or
in order to allow the District Attorney to furnish
additional reasons why the prisoner should be
