In the Afternoon thoyf walked out to eall at Mrs. Win- throb's, having an urgent invitation to risitf thorn. They remained to tea. and spotlit the evening. Pfjlly. of whom Mrs. Bnrnet had spokteii. was Mrs. WinthropV sister. Hho was a maiden ladj. past three- score, and had for many years found a horn* with her brother. Her head was now hilvered, and time had drawn deep J marks on her brow ; but still there were* tractjs of beauty left upon her face. Duriiig the evening she came and took a sciat beside Louise, and after some commonplace remarks, the old lady said pn a quiet way : \Xowr mother told me that yon would like to hear a little of my fife- F*$XI wtettld nould TKIFMNO WITH A HEART. \ Louise, who was that gentleman that came home with you?\ 11 (>h f it was one of my friends. 91 •' It was not Henry Houthrou ?\ \ No, it was not.\ \ Hut I thought Henry waited on you to the party ?\ ^Hohedid.\ \And he did not remain until the party closed ?\ \Yes- I believe BO. M A eloiul came over Mrs. Burnet's face, and she seemed troubled. Hho gazed upon herdaughter some moments without speaking further. Louiso was niiitftacn years of age; a bright-eyed, happy, merry-making girl, possessing a true and loving heart, but a little in- clined to be thoughtless in her mo* ments of social joy. She was an only child, and had been a pet in the family; but her love was not confined to the circle that met around her own hearth- stone. More than a year before she had promised Henry Southron that she would be his wife as soon as time and circumstances rendered such a step proper. Henry was an orphan, and had just gone into business on his own account. He was a youufl^man of whose friend- ship any seusitde maiden might have been proud; a generous, upright,steady, industrious youth, fixed firmly in his moral course, and of a fair, manly per- sonal appearance. 44 My child,\ said the mother, after reflecting awhile, *' what h*v<t you been doing ? Why did not Henry come with yon r M Because he didn't choose to, I sup- pose,\ replied Louise. \ That is not the reason,\ replied Mrs. jlurnct, with assurance. *' Home- thing that you have done has caused this. Now cell me what it is.\ 41 You are too anxious altogether, mother. There is no damage, I assitru \Still my child, T would like to\ know what you have been doing.\ \Well 1 will tell you,\ returned Ixmiso. giving herself a rock in the chair. \ Henrjr is altogether too'atton- tive. One would think, to see him at a party, that F was already his wife, and about the only female present.\ '• And you have become tired of so much attention ?\ \Of course I have.\ \ And you have thrown it off?\ \ Yes, I took occasion, this evening, to show him that I didn't like quite so much overseeing. I talked with every oue else, and suffered Mr. Pingree to wait upon me down to supper. Poor Henry looked as though ho had lost his last friend. Tt will give him a lesson, I guess ; and in future I hone he will make a little less love in public.\ \My child,\ said Mrs. Burnet, with much feeling, \you are trying a dan- gerous experiment. Tho time will come, if you ever marry Henry Houth- ron, when you will be proud of his un- divided attention.\ \It will be time enough for that when we aro married,\ replied Louise, with a toss of the head. \ But don't give yourself any uneasiness. He will come around all right.\ \ Did ho offer to wait upon yon home this evening ?\ \ No. He was rather shy of me after supper ; and when the party broke up I ran off alone. Mr. Pingree overtook me on the way, and accompanied me to the door.\ \I think, my child,\ remarked the mother, after another season of reflec- tion, \that you have been not only very wicked—stop—listen to me. You know that Henry loves you most truly, that his whole soul is devoted to you, aud that his attention is but the result of his affection—a demonstration of which you should be proud ; for let me tell you, an undivided, unanswering love is something not always to be se- cured. Now yon have been trifling with Henry's heart—you have both ) >ained and mortified him ; and it s o mppens that those hearts which love the most deeply and truly are the ones which suffer the most from slight or neglect, and which shrink the most quickly from coldness and trifling. Bcltevo mo Louiso, yon are entering U|w>u dangerous ground. If you care for Henry s love, I advise you to ask his pardon as soon as you have an op- portunity.\ \Ask his pardon!* 1 repeated the thoughtless girl, with an expression of surprise. \ Mercy on me ! what are you thinking of? You shall see him at my feet before the week is out.\ \ Ah. my doar, you don't, know so much about the human heart as you think you do. A heart may revolve steadily around its center of affection for a long time- for so long a time hat it seems fixed in iU course, like a plan- et around the sun—but a sudden strain may snap the cord asunder, and the stricken heart fly ofl'at a tangent, and never ooroe back. If you must trifle, trifle with anything rather than tho heart, t We are going to Mr. Win- throp'a to-morrow, and T hope I may induce Polly to tell you a little story •f her experience in life.\ Louise said stie would be Very glad to hear It; then she tried to laugh ; and then, having told her mother once more that she was needlessly anxious, ahe went to her ehaml>er. On the following morning Mn. Bur* net met*her daughter as usual, making no allntton to the oiroaiiistaiee of the leftism* . for anything which yow eera worthy of telling mutft be interesting \ replied Louise. \Then let us walk in the garden. The [ moon is up, and the air i s warm and pleasant.\ TliW wont otit, and when they had reached the grapery, they went into the arbent and sat down. \ '('here is no need that T should make any preliminary remarks,\ con- tinual Polly, \ for I nave come out on purpose to tell you a short story, and I shall tell it to you as plainly and simply as ]xt>sfcihle t and when I have done you may know why your mother wished that you should hear it.\ \ When I was your age people Called letter liandsome ; but still, with all my J twelve to mako tho offer,/ seeing he had brought mo there. J was not going to accept any such o^for as that, and I told him 1 should/not require his at- tention. / 41 * Polly,' he sgid, * you do not mean tbid. Do not rhako me think that I have mistaken you!' He trembled as he spoke, an^f 1 could see that he was fearfully agitated. t M But I |iad gone too far to give up then, and Vith a laugh I turned from him. I w£nt home one way—he went *nother./ All the next day I looked for him. bnt ho did not come. And a second dav I watched ; and a third and fourth. 6n the fifth day I received a from him. It was from a distant thither ho had gone to visit his *d iwiiMT. He Jfcmt* »e tW feared he hid bees dieappointe* )f J could trifle with his heart then, I might do it again. He said he was go- ing out West and tnight be gone some time. If I still loved him when he re- turned. I might be sure of finding him ...... .. j where I t- opposite mo faulti, I do not think I was ever proud or Vii|in. I knew that I was good-look- ing, i\ul I meant to be good. I tried to be rifcht, as 1 understood it, and when I failed, it was from a lack of judgment, and 'a proueness to bo thoughtless should have been directly the When I was eighteen years of agio, (leorge Ashmun asked mo to be his Tfife. He was a uoble-hearted, geneijous, upright man, and I never ex- perienced a sense of more blissful ioy than When I became thus assured that his heart's best lovo WAS mine. I told him yes, and our vows were plighted. Wo, were to wait a vear, and then if we continued to hold tlie same purpose we were to be married. I don t know as anyorte envied me, but I do know that in all the country around there was not a hettjer man than was he who loved me, nor wps there one whoso prospect in life whs more promising. \ l<trom my childhood up I had been a sort of pet and favorito in our social circle^ ana considerable attention was fihowifc me from all quarters, Oeorge was oho of those honest-minded, prac- tical men, who cannot appear different- ly froin what they really are, who follow a truej and just cause straightforward and frankly. When ho hail proposed for mir hand and I had promised to be his wife, he devoted his entiro attention to mej It almost seemed as though he couldInot be attentive enough. When out ubon our social picnics and exonr^ sions pie was <K>natatrtiy by my aid©/ anticipating my every want, and ever ready ito guard ai.<l ..ssist me. I allowed myself to feel that 1 would like a little more i>f my old liberty ; I even went so far as to feel annoyed by his close, un- divided attention. \ lu was a thoughtless, feckless emo- tion (in my part, but I was foolish enougjh to give it a place in my bosom. Homo mf my female friends joked moon the sbbjeet, and I finally determined that I (would not be quite so closely tied to my!lover. I did not stop to ask my- self how I should feel were he less at- tentive to me. I did not reflect that I might! have been very unhappy had ho bestowed his social favors upon others of myjsex; in short, 1 did not reflect at all. t was only seized with a reckless determination to be a little more freo and injdepeiulent. \ Wle iiad a picnic in the grovo near our vijlage. I was buoyant and happy, ami Uughcd and chatted with all who came in my way. We had a dunce be- fore djnner, and Oeorge asked me if I intended to join in the amusement. I told Ipm certainly. He then took my hand find said he would bear mo com- pany ;| but I broke from him with a laugh, telling him at tho same time that it was engaged to dance with an- other, j Ho was disappointed—I could see it; at a glance—but he took it in good if attire. Before the second dance he cauto again : but again I told him I was engaged. He betrayed no ill-feel- ing utj all, only I could see the disap- pointment. In a little while I was among a company of laughing, joking, merryImaking friends of both sexes who hid been my companions for years, and one of the gentlemen said I must go witjh him to dinner. I knew that Oeorge had made arrangements for me to takd dinner with him ; but what of that? I Hhould I bo tied to his skirts? No, I pieant to be free—and I told the man who made the proportion that I would [go with him. I must have been blind,! as I know I was foolish and wicked ; but I did not stop to think. When the dinner hour arrived, Oeorge came with a happy, smiling, hopeful Ihce, and offered me his arm. I \ • IV>r what ?' said I. * For dinnef, my dcitr,' he replied. Then I told him I was engaged with another, and before his very face I took the proffered arm of the! man to whom I had given my promiF)f\ remarking to my lover, as I trippctj away, that he would have to find sohie one else. I saw the look ho gave nm —a look of pain, of mortifica- tion ami of reproach—and as I called it to mind after I had reached the table, I felt a Little uneasy; but I said to my- self, 'lie will come around all right,' and th*s I tried to pass it off. Towards the lattter part of the afternoon Oeorge came t«^ me again. He asked me what I meant by my treatment of him. He was earliest and anxious. I told him that he must not question me in such a manncit, • unmarried : for h e had ne heart to give another. Still he would like to hear from mo—he would like to see rno if I wished it. Ho wrote as one who had been deeply wronged, and there were one or two sentences in the missive that troubled me unpleasantly. A week passed away, and I did not answer it ; but at the end of that time I made up my mind to call Oeorge to me and con- fess my fault; for well I knew I had lone very wrong. I wrote, and my reached its destination just hours after ho had started on his journey. \ I never saw Oeorge Ashmun again. In less than a year he died in a mad- house! \He did wrong—he did wrong — very, very wrong—to leave mo as ho did. He ought not to have done it. Ho ought to have made an effort—for his own sake ami mine. I had done a wicked thing—a cruel, thoughtless deed it was—and the penalty fell hcavi- j ly upon me ! \ Louise, your mother asked me to i tell you my story* I have done so. If ; it can profit you, f shall not regret the I pain I have felt in the recital. Thus I ; have not ceased to suffer, let theso hot I tears bear witness. Oh, of all things within tho sphere of your influence, beware how you trifle with a trusting, loving heart. Hflcnt and thoughtful did Louise Burnet return to the parlor, and but very little did she say on her way home. On the following morning she wrote a brief note, ami sent it to Ilenry Houth- ron. Hho simply asked him to come and see her. He came, and when they were alone, she fell upon his bosom, and asked him to forgive her. Hho gazed up through her streaming tears, and begged for his love and confidence once more. Of course ho could not re- fuse. Perhaps ho was never happier than at that moment, for surely it must have been a mighty lovo and a freo de- vptiop that could have prompted the course the maiden had thus pursued. . Louiso never forgot tho lesson she had received. Hho became Henry Houthron's wife, and when, in after times, she saw husbands neglecting their wives, she had occasion to thank Ood that she was blest with the true and undivided faith and devotion of her bosom companion. Hnrely there is nothing on earth of moro worth than a faithful, virtuous, and devoted life-partner, and he or she who can trifle witli tho heart of such a one, only sows the seed which shall yield a harvest of pain and remorse. Hindoo Belief;. \ The Hindoo women,\ says a writer in Eraser** Mayazinr, * 4 attracted me most by their graceful carriage, their i ueturesque drapery, consisting of a nil skirt and a sort of burnous, which passes over the head, almost completely j veiling the face. Those vary in color, being sometimes bright blue and pink ami yellow, the skirt often bordered with a hem of some other color, often very gaudy, but the dark skin harmon- izes it all. The most artistic, to my mind, is the deep indigo blue, but it is moro rare in tho northwest than in southern India, whore almost all the lower classes of women wear it. It is pleasant to watch the easy grace with which they walk, bearing round red mmmmft or bright dSypet itit» I ars on their heads, steadying their nirden with one well-shaped, small- wristed, dusky arm stretched up to its full length, and covered almost to the elbow, and sometimes aliove it. with numbers of bracelets. These are some- times silver, and of toner plated metal, or red and green lac. I once heard of a school, the pupils of which were trained te walk about with tumblers of cold water on their heads ; and when I saw the firm footed, easy grace of these burden bearing women, I regretted that the practice was not universal. The pale-faced race may perhaps pride itself on its superiority in the use of the con- tents of its head, but these dusky daughters of the sun certainly outdo their more favored sisters in the use they muko of the outside of theirs. They carry everything on their heads, jars of water, pieces of cloth, baskets I of vegetables, huge bundles of sngar- i cane, fuel, anything and everything, I leaving their hands free for any addi- tional burden. They do not even carry their little black babies in their arms, but either balance them astride on their shoulders with their little hands on their mother's head, or else astride on one hip, encircled with a strong arm. I have seen a woman with four water- iars towering on her head, and her little baby on her hip, walking along with a springy grace, jingling her silvery ank- lets and toe-brlls as she went.\ A (aJirapse of English Farming. I made the journey between Liverpool and London, two hundred miles, in five hours and fifteen minutes, including stops. In no other country does one travel so fast as in England, nor so safely. The reasons are the roads are well built, have double tracks, and highways and railways never cross each other on the same lavei.

The altitude above sea-level of the limit of perpetual snow has been the subject of some observations and de- ductions recently presented by Orad to the Paris Academy. He shows that not only the diminution of temperature in the higher strata, but also several other conditions, must conspire to fix this altitude ; such as the depth of the annual fall of snow ami the dryness of the atmosphere, the direction of the winds, and the amount of the cloudi- ness. Orad finds tho altitude of the lowest limit of permanent snow to be less within the tropics than under tlie latitudes of twenty to thirty-five de- grees, whence again it diminishes to three thousand feet in the latitudes sixty degrees south and sixiy-five de- grees north. For no known part of tho Slobo does the belt of perj>etual BHOW cseend to the level of the sea, nor to within less than a thousand feet of alti- tude ; not even in the region where the average temperature of tlie cold half of the year is below freezing, as in Oreen- land ami Hpitzbergen. It is only the glaciers that descend to the sea-level in the country south of forty-five degrees south latitude, and north of sixty degrees north latitude, by reason of the excessive falls of snow accompanying most winds.

It is nothing more than a cylindrical barrel some three inches long by an inch and n half in diameter, which, by a screw attached midway along its length, may be readily secured to the ceiling or any part of tho room desired. It is made of malleable iron, with a smooth bore.and contains, when ready for use, a small charge of powder, to which is attached an inch of fuse. This fuse is formed of a chemical mixture that will ignite whenever the surrounding atmosphere is heated to 200 degrees Fahrenheit; that is to say, it is kindled by merely heated air, and at a temperature less than that of boiling water. In case of fire, the heat, which ascends at once to the ceiling, quickly ignites the fuse,and causes the required explosion to take |>lace before the flames can get beyond a point at which they may be quenched by a pail of water. The discharge of one of these protectivo instruments makes a report as loud as that of an army musket loaded with a regulation cartridge. Work* Before filff«. The worldo wes every man a living, and before he begs for it he is bound to work if he can, for with work to do and health there is no danger of starvation or being houseless. .Just now tens of thousands are out of work, some of their own volition, some of them as strikers, but tho many in consequence of the panic. As a rule, whero there is work for the hands there will be work for the teeth, and this is one of the first consid- erations in view of the times. It is a sad sight to see men willing to work ami nothing to do, and, as wo have said more than once, we tru*t that all who can will keep their mills anil work- shops open. Ho in public works, where it must be done, let it be done with economy, with no cight'hours nonsense, and with perfect good-will. Work, work\ WOIIK is tho great need. With it there will bo freedom from suffering, family and personal independence, few inmates of the alms-house, fewer in prisons, and less paid i:i taxes to sup- port paupers and criminals. BetUr not only is it to work than to starve, but also better to work than to waste, and ten times better to be at work than to be idle. Those who at this time coun- sel idleness or strikes ore enemies of their country and race. Better to work with little pay than to be idle and de- pendent with no pay. Work, too, is better than charity, and, therefore, those who can find work to do should do it with all their might.—A'. >'. Ecmittf/ E.* m 2>rcfiH.

The Effects or Worrj. That the i-ffectH of worry arc moro to be dreaded than those of simple hard work is evident from noting the classes of persons who suffer most from the effects of mental overstrain. The case- book of the physician shows that it is the speculator, tho betting-man, tlie railway manager, the great merchant, tho superintendent of large manufac- turing or commercial works, who most frequently exhibits the symptoms of cerebral exhaustion. Mental cares ac- companied with suppressed emotion, occupations liable to great vicissitudes of fortune, and those which involve the bearing on the mind of a multiplicity of intricate details, eventually break down the lives of the strongest. In estimating what maybe called the stay- ing powers of different minds undvr hard work, it is always necessary to take early training into account. A }*oung man cast suddenly into a position involving great cum ami responsibility, will break down in circumstances which, had he been gradually habituated to tho position, he would have performed its duties without difficulty. It is prob- ably for this reason that the prof« sr-ional classes generally suffer less from the effects of overstrain than others. They have a long course of preliminary train- ing, and their work comes on them by degrees ; therefore, when it docs come in excessive quantity, it finds them prepared for it. Those, on the other hand, who suddenly vault into a posi- tion requiring severe mental toil, gen- erally tlie before theirtime.— (*haml»* r*' Journal. A Snrpri«e for the Butch, v The Dutch have not been ns fortunate in their attempt to subdue the Atchi- nese an the English claim to be in their expedition against the Aslumtees. The first expedition sent out by Holland against their rebellions vassals has been a complete failure, the disaster involv- ing the loss of four hundred soldiers and a hundred million francs. The fttdt pfudancr fit lye publishes tlie re- sults of the investigation of this defeat, from whieh it seems fiat the Dutch made an attack, expecting to meet only ahandfulof savages, and were astonished at finding that they were stoutly resisted by well-armed and well-trained soldiers. Fearing that their communication with their boats would be cut ofl\ a retreat was ordered. At this time their com- mander, Oeneral Kohler, fell, and the retreat became a rout. Holland, however, will at once sf ml out a second expedition, composed of seven thousand infantry, three thousand artillery men, and four thousand coolies —fourteen thousand men in all. Four mitrailleuses will lend their horrid aid in subduing the Atchinese. In the meantime the latter are preparing for a vigorous resistance, and, it is rumored, that sooner than yield to Holland, they will become voluntary vassals of Tur- key. On the other hand, the Dutch Oovernment claims that it is fighting only from a sense of national honor, and has no intention of annexing the Atchinese territory. What Protection Meant. Tlie Milwaukee Daily Wise*mnin says: It was the language and the intention of our forefathers who founded this great Republic, that whether a man be poor or lowly, or weak in person or weak in head, so long as he was an American citizen, he was entitled to the full pro- tection of our flag, under which he had taken refuge, and that he had a right to demand for that protection the whole treasure of the nation and every ol»le- bodied man within its territory. * That was the doo # .*:ne of thst conservative statesman, John (Juincy Adams, which he enunciate*! in his immortal dispatch to the Spanish authorities, when they were striving to crush the life out ni the South American Republics. * The kitchen range in A house st Tom's River, N.

In the meanest hut is a romance if you knew the hearts there. Every man desires to live long ; but no man would be old. Philosophy is, to tell the truth, a homc-sickuess, an effort to return home. A. man has generally the good or the ill qualities that he attributes to man- kind. The force of selfishness is as inevita- ble and as calculable as tho force of gravitation. If a man cannot be a Christian in the place where he is, he cannot be a Chris- tian anywhere. Mohammed oner said : \ When* a man dies, men inquire what he has left behind him ; angels inquire what he has sent before him.*' Influence good or bad, comes not from the opinions a man possesses, but from the character he lias formed, und the life he leads. A true man never frets about his *placcin the world, but jtibt slides into it by the gravitation of his nature, and swings there as easily as a st.ir. With many readers brilliancy of style passes for affluence of thought ; they mistake buttercups in the grass for immeasnrcablc miues of p;r,]t\ under- ground. Attraction acts on all and at all dis- tances. To feel repulsion we must be verv near. It is a petty and personal feeling, or, at best, is the protest of natural affinities against unsought proximity. Has any one wronged you ? Be brave- ly revenged ; slight it, and the work is begun ; forgive it, 'tis finished. He is below himself who is not above an in- jury. Every thought and feeling is a paint- ing stroke, in the darkness, of our like- ness that is to IK* ; and our whole life is but a chamber, which we are fresco- mg with colors that do not apjx'Rr while being laid on wet, but which will shine forth afterwards, when finished and dry. Working live is better than emotive love. It is well to have both, 1>ut it is not every one wiio has steam enough to work the engine and blow the whistle, too. There is a love that never speaks ; it spends itscK in work, like sunlight shedding its raytfonthe ground and bringing up the beautiful flowers, softly and quietly. The practical life I accept. The great ocean is in a constant slate of evaporation. It gives back what it receives, and sends up its waters hj mists to gaterinto clouds ; and so there' is rain on tho fields and storm on the mountains, ami greenness and l>eauty everywhere.
