A Retired

A story is related of a worthy trades
man in the butchering line Of business,
who, having amassed a considerable
fortune by means as a snug family trade
In Shoreditch disposed of his shop, and
retired with his family to a villa resi-
dence at Chaplain. But somehow the
luxury of idleness did not agree with
him, neither did the brisk air of Clap
~ham-common agree with his health as
did the more substantial atmosphere of
the back end of Bishopsgate. He grew
80 dull and mopish that his friends were
alarmed, and a temporary migration to
Margate was resolved on. 1t was at the
height of the season, and tie select
watering-p place in question was crowd
ed with a mixed company of visitors,
including butchers, both retired and
still In active service, and for a time
Mr.. Shortribs quite recovered his
spirits. But on returning to Chaplain
his spirits sank again so rapidly that 1t
seemed not improbable that he would
terminate his career in melancholy
madness. At last, one day, he amazed
his wife by announcing his determine
ton to return to Margate for a few
weeks alone. He felt sure, he said, that
although it was now the depth Of
Winter, the sea breeEes would revive
him; and he moreover promised to re-
turn to Chaplain at the end of each
week, and pass Sunday with his family.
He went, and 10! the very first week
saw a change in him that was almost
miraculous. His eye was brighter, his
flesh firmer; therel were even indica-
tons of a return of that roseate hue to
which his cheeks had long been stran-
gers. Another week, and he returned
fresher than ever, Still another, and
he was the Shortribs ofEold, with a
jovial laugh, a ready joke, and an appe-
tite he seemed to have lost ~irrecoverably
when he quilted Shoreditch. Still, he
expressed no desire to settle down
once more at Chaplain. de pleaded
for another week, and yet n more,
and his wife, with a fond woman's
misgivlngs, began to suspect that pos
sibly there might be something more
in it than appeared on the surface.
The next time that her husband, gay
and cheerful, set out with his bag on
Monday morning, she-well, there is
no use in mincing the matter--she
caused him to be watched. And with a
most astonishing result. 1t was all a
subterfuge as to ShOrtribs going to
Margate. He had never, during the
whole period since his health and spirits
began 20 improve so astonishingly,
been further than C~amdentowu. There,
ct the shop of a trustworthy brother
butcher, sworn to secrecy, he had
passed the pleasant time, busy with
knife and steel from Monday morning
until Saturday night.-AH the Year
Round.

bly, across your semi-translucent walls,
yet your eyes are not dazzled, though
IL is true tha6 the former can make the
atmosphere too sultry. You have stolen
a march upon nature; you nestle close
to her heart, yet are sheltered from her
brusque caprices. Then, what COM
mand over his does he feel
who, sitting In his bedroom, cannot
only behold at a glance his dining. room
parlor, and antechambeT, but can
stretch forth his arm and reach 10 the
remOtest limits of them all! He enjoys
all the advantages of giantship; with
out its drawbacks in the way of clnmsi-
ness and singularity, and the risk y
being snapped up by enterprisinGEo Nv
men. The tendency of latefsars has
been towards expansion in all things,
under the mistaken idea that bigness
and luxury have necessarily anything
in common. But a better culture will
perhaps show that the essence Of true
refinement lies in the direction of con-
densation and then the upper ten will
pull down their huge palaces, and take
a leaf from the box of the Arabs. If
the population goes oil increasing,
economy in space will become as much
of a necessity as of a virtue but, at all
events, the wealthiest and ~best-educa-
ted man of the future will be he who
comes nearest to keeping house q his
own pocket.-Appleton's Journal.

their crops to her she did not once feel
like resenting it.
None of the party wished more heart
lily for the return of the day than did
Sarah.
81 knew her heart was right, and her
head only needed setting-the pretty
head her husband had nearly succeeded
in turning by so much petting and
spelling. But, hoping much from her
good common sense, | determined to
ave her from trouble, perhaps utter
misery, in the future; for who can tell
where such conduct might have led her
to? j am so glad i tried to save her."
And elderly Miss Potter nodded her
head In satisfaction.

The Wonderland Of Montana.

A correspondent of the IndGh0 States
man, writing from the National Park,
on the Yellowstone, under the date of
September IL, says; "For the past
three days we have been reveling in the
wonders of this Plutonic region. On
every side we have had springs hot and
cold, clear and muddy; mountains of
pure sulphur, geysers throwing water
$50 feet high, of all shapes, sizes and
variations. Right here; within two
hundred yards, the thing varies a little;
for instead of water oozing from
mounds built up by the s~edimentary
deposit of ages, they are funnel-like
cauldrons fifty feet from the surface.
There is one that, looking down into it,
appears to be--and | think is-a subter-
ranean river. II is as wide as the Boise
river, and the bubbling, Seething noise
It kicks up is almost terrifying. 1t is
very muddy, and from the appearance
of the trees for 500 yards around, and
the wetness of the surface, 1t must oc-
casionally spout to an immense height.
Not far away, at what appears 10 be the
entrance ola cavern, is another boiling
sprihg like the other, rolling out IN
waves from a vast hole. II Is scalding
hot, beautifully clear, but very sulphur
ouss The rocks around the entrance
are covered with a soft sediment OF
various dark, brilliant %colors, on which
many names are written. or course

R~e- the feelings, to emo
gTne aims. No one a expand and
Eaeapsify his sense of beauty without
a better man, and breathing out
weeter influence than. before. 1t
NJ be, as Socrates declared, that
ard beauty Is but the emblem or
(ssion of what is lovely, grand or
hovpssS in the unseen and spiritual world.
Certain it is that they are'closely akin,
and they act and react upon each other
with the most perfect harmony.
Whoever is fmbued with the sense Of
beauty will Involuntary create it
around him. 1t will give a grace to
his %demeanor, a fitness TO his words, a
harmonious proportion to his conduct.
Good taste and consistency will shine
In his domestic arrangements and his
business affairs. Unconciously, by his
intercourse, he will develop the same
power In others. Partaking of his
pleasures and enthusiasm, they also will
respond to the beauty around them with
fresh joy and fervor. Let us then no
longer neglect the culture of this i'm
important part of our nature, Let us
open our eyes and our hearts to receive
all the beauty that they are capable of
taking in let us welcome its pure de-
lights, and hasten to shed them on
others; let usgive IT. place In our daily
life and thoughts, and let its presence
ever dwell in u homes, to bless and
purify them.

The Sense of Beauty.

There is nothing which more distinc-
lively marks true progress in education
thantho increasing breadthof view which
taken of the whole subject. Gradually
we are discovering that nan needs not
merely the knowledge contained in text
books, and laid down in the various
courses of study, but much that must
be CLEANED from other sources; that be
has not only one set of faculties to be
developed, but many, and that true
culture includes the careful nurture of
every part.
Among the hitherto neglected powers
Of our nature is the sense Of perception
Of beauty. We all have this in its germ
but few of us ever think 1t worth our
while to cherish and improve it. Yet
there is scarec Sae OF Uur faculties
that is so amply provided for in the
external world as this. Beauty pervades
the entire universe. Mountains and
valleys, forests and meadows, skies and
oceans are full of it. The more we ex-
plore nature the more do we discover
Of her loneliness. Science is every day
revealing new beauty by her discoveries
and every accession of knowledge opens
up charms of which we had meyer
dreamed. Only a small portion of
creation can minister to the necessities
of the body, and that portion can only
be made available by toilsome Labor;
but the sense of beauty has but to awaken
to Its own need to find the whole uni
verse waiting to pour upon it the rich
est supplies. In most cases our desires
far outrUp. their possible fulflment,
but i1"tfI is just the reverse. Here
is the inner sense that needs developing
t~d'respSnd TO the wealth of beauty that
awaits It's recognition. 1t is as If in an
exquite palace, eilled with choicest
pictures and statnarY. and adorned
with everything that taste could sug-
gest to make it attractive, t~heinhabitants
were partially blind, and could barely
distinguish one article from another,
much less comprehend the loneliness
by which they were surrounded. The
world is full of beauty that we barely
see, or seeing yet fail to understand or
to enjoy.
Itmay, however, be questioned wheth-
er after all, it is SO important that this
sense should be quickened snd sharpen
ed into keen appreciation. 1t does not
help a man to earn his living, or to
grow rich; 1t does not give him stand
ing In society or political power; it does
