Like a:i unopened letter. there is a mystery about it, and one waits Witli a pleasurable excitement to see who or what is coiiiinr. Returning home, oue day, earlier than uai, I found that iny wife, had 11021c out-: m l. wiiile idly wahiiiLT her return, tin- loi r-btll niuyr. I wa.ted expectant until Mary aniieared with a note, cojitai;:i,i' a request troui my ud fr;enl, Georye L , to lide out to his residence in the country ihe next day, and to blip"; my wifo with me. I was Usui h p'eascii, 11. , so much on :iccou..t ol my neis..re which it might give my wi:e, but because 1 thought I needed a 'la's i creation, u.'nl, in ti.e loveiy suni-rucr-t:me, llucouutry has peculiar charms lor mo. JJut the next morning everything seen: ?d to go wrong. Alice could not ncuoiu 111 ny me, and I cou.d not get oil" as ear ly as I wished; consequently, I was fret- titi and jieevtsli, ami Alice seemed to re tlect my humor, for s!u never seamed to be so una'mii.bic. At length, however, I drove away, though not-in a very pleasant mood. It w;ts a lovely day; and as I rode along, noting the beauiics of tha landscape, my memory went ba. k unbidden to tho lime when 1 wooed, and wen my bride. How I vcly Alice was tlivn! I thought. And how happy we were! Dut that was long nf,o. 2o; is it pos-iibie, we hae been married only three years? And I felt a sharp p ing, ai i contrasted the past with thy present, to rliiuk that we couid settle down into the common-place life we now 1 il. We had no s'riom trouble; we did not quarrel; though vhcn I felt cross, or things did not iuit me, I took no paius to conceal it, ami olten spoke harshly to Alice, who sometimes replied in the same sjnrif, and sometimes w ith tcais. Yet we were generally good ftiends. Still, the chirm, the tenderness, ofoureariy love had imj erccplibiy vanished. I had become careless about my per sonal appearance at home, and Alice was almost equally negligent. Her beautiful brown hair, -which she used to wear in the most becoming curls, was not usually urusiietl plainly behind her ears, unless she was going out or expected com pany. 1 dismissed me suiyect with a stgli, as I drew up at my friend's ga?e, with the reflection, that it was the same with all married people must b'- so, in fact; for now could romance aad sentiment rind place among 60 many prosy realities? supposed we were as happy a? anybody; and yet it was not the kmu ot ufe I had looked forward to with so many bright anticipations. 3Iy frit nd greeted me with great cordi- anty. lu the ha'1 we nut Mrs. It 1 Hiking fre.4i and lovely iu her pink inus! Hiuppcr, wit.-i ncr J-tty n.ur in taste I al brants. she reproved me rdavl'ullv for not bringing my wife with me, chat ted a iew minutes, and then lhtted away, wtuie my mend led the way to the li brary. As we entered the room, I noticed a vase of bright flowers on the table, im parting an air of taste and cheerfulness lo the apartment. I made some remark about it, to. which my friend responded: "Yes; I am very fond of flowers, and tike to see them in the house; ami as I spend much time here, my wife always keeps a vase of them on the table as Ion" s they last.'' After dinner, we walked out into the grounds, which were quite extensive, and most tastefully r.rrangcd. There was a variety ti Rowers in bioc m, and I notkol ,uai l. sehctcd here and there the Lncfct, until he had a haodsome bouqueL " reacju-d ihe house, Mrs L was on the steps. Her husband, still ov tinuing our conversation, gave her the flowers, with a smiie; and holding up a spray of crimson berries, which ho had broken off, she bent her head while he laslened it among the dark braids of her nair. It was a trilling incident, vet their man uer arrested my attention. "Had I been a stranger, I would have pronounced them' lovers, instead of so bur married people. All through the day I noticed the same delicato utientioa and deference in iheir deportment to each other. There was nothing of which the most fastidious guest could complain; yet, while showing rue tlw most cordial - attention, they did oot ignore each, other's existence, as mar ried people too. often seem to do. I had never before visited my friend at his country home, and was - very much pleased with it. I .said so, after dinner, as we strolled out into tho woods. "Yes," lie said. "I think it is i.lonasnt- nn.l l. -,11. J ., ' uv uuutu, -A Denevc i am u con tented man, So far, I am not disappoint ea in lito." "How long have you been married, L I asked. "Ten years." "Well," I pursued, "can you tell me whence is the bright atmosphere that sur rounds your home. Tell mo how j ou and your excellent wife manage to retain the depth of your early love as you seem to dot I should think the wear ad tear of life would dim it somewhat. I never be fore saw a home where my ideal of do mestic huppiness was realized. It is what I have dreamed oT, but have not yet been permitted to enjoy." My friend smiled, and, pointing to a thrifty grape-yine climbing over a neat lattice, aud leaded with fruit, Bid: "That vino needs careful attention, and if cared for, it is what you see it; but if neglected, how soon would it become a worthless thing! So the love which to all, at some period, ia the .most precious thing in life, and which needs so much care to keep it unimpaired, is generally neglected. Ah! my dear fellow, it is lit tle acts trifles that so often estrange loving hearts. I have always made it a point to treat my wife with the same courtesy that characterized my deport ment in the days of courtship; and while I am careful not to offend her taste and little prejudices, I am sure that mine will be equally respected. Moreover, instead of treating her as an inferior as a mere slave, bound to obey my every behest I realize the fact that siie ia my equal, and as such, has as much right to a voico in the management of our daily affairs as I have. That night I rode homeward, ponder ing over what I had seen and heard; and reviewing the years of our married life, I was surprised at my own blindness, and determined, if possible to recall the early dream. J The next morning, at breakfast T ntr.M. ished Alice by a careful toilet, chatted over the dinner, and after tea invited her out to take a walk. When she fame down arrayed in my favorite dress, with her hair in shining curls, I thought she had never looked lovelier. I exerted myself, as of old. to entertnb, her, and was surprised to finu how quick ly the evening passed. 1 resolved to test mv friend's thenrv perfect-, aad the results exceeded mv most sanguine expectations. For all the little nameless attentions, bo gratifying to a woman's heart, and to uni versally accorded by the lover and neg lected by the husband. I lind nivse'f re. paid a thousand fold: and I would advUe all who are s'ghing over the non-fulfillment of their early dreams, to go and do likewise ; remembering that w hat is wcrth usiDg is worth keeping. The Teninsula of 3Iount Athos. The Peninsula of Mount Athos is the most eastern of those three w hich may be een on the map extending out like" fin gets from the coast of Macadonia into the Ef'can sea. For over J0O veers it has been a-sort of headquarters for monks of tho Creek church. At the close of the twelfth century the peninsula was covered with oO'J monastic-id institutions, with in mates recruited from diflerent countries. The number of monasteries is now twenty-one, and the monks number 0,000, to gether with 2,000 laymen, who servo i's menials. No women arc pertuitnd on the sacred mount. In the middle of the sixteenth century, " when Pierre rielion visited tho monks, he found them lazy, unclean, and sensual, their intellectual and religious life fed almost wholly by oral tradition, not more than a score of them being able to read or write. Cath arine II. of Russia, provided for their support from the treasury of the empire, and liberal contributions have ever since flowed from that source: Mount Athos forever dedicated to the Virgin, being re gard o I by the Sclavs as a hull-way para dise between heaven and earth. And the penisula is described by both ancient and modern travelers as the most lovely spot on the face of the globe.

A Ct-'re for S'andei The following very homely btt. singti larly instructive lesson is by Si. Phillip NVri : A lady presented herself to him one day accusing herself of being given to slander. "Do you frequently fall into this fault? ' inquired the Saint. "Yes, fa ther, very often,"' replied tho penitent. "My dear child," said tho Saint, "ycur fault is great, but tho merry of God is still gieater; for ycur penance do as fol lows: Go to the nearest market, pur chase a chickrn just killed and still cov ered with feathers; you will then walk to a certain distance, plucking the bird as you go along; your walk finished, you will return to me.

At the late Paris Exposition the Etoth ers Salmin, of Padue, exhibited a book which is topographically unique, being tho pmallest volume that has been pro duced uy tne printing press since its in vention, and the type the most minute that has ever been'cast. Into iOO pages five centimetres long and three and one half centimetres wide a centimetre is about thirty-n no one-hundredths of an inch tho whole of Dante's "Divine Comedy ' is compressed, and, as the edi tion is of a thousand copies, it will be Iiossib'.e for as many lovers of curious ooks who are rich enough to pay the price to place the microscopic work in their collections. A writer in the Allge meine Zeilung has gathered a number of interesting facts iu regard to the various editions of the "Divina Commedia" which have been issued. In all there are about ?j0 of them, the largest being published at Milan by Mussi in the year lbO'J. It is in three volumes of the largest folio size, 5d centimetres long and 40 centimetres wide, and until the appearance of the Salmin edition the smallest was the Lon don edition of 1SJ2-23, iu two volumes of S4 pages in all, the letter-press of which was sharp and distinct enough to be read without much difiiculty with the naked eye.

It is remarkable that the steam engine was not called to the aid of the printing prefs sooner than it was; but it had long been used in many of the industrial aits before it became the handmaid to "the j art preservative of all arts." The first printing by steam w as on the issue of the Loudon Times, for November 2t), 1S14. The improved hand presses of that da could only strike oil liom two to three hundred impressions au hour, with on. man to ink the types aud another to work the press. At that rate a very large edi tion of a daily piper was simniv impossi ble, for one day's work could not be com pleted beloie tue next day s must begin. The Times then printed liom three to four thousand copies daily-, and Mr. John Wal ter, the proprietor (Uie second of that name), began a3 early as 1S04 to consider whether the work might not be expedited in some way . In that year, Thomas Mar tyn, a compositor in tha 'limes olliee, got up a model of a self-acting machine for working the press, and 'Walter furnished the inon -y for the continuance of his ex lieriments. As usual in the tarly history of labor-saving maohinury, this attempt met with bi:ter opposition from the work men, who supposed their craft was in danger. Marty n was in fear of his life because of the threats of the pressmen, and partly on that ac.ount, and partly be cause Waiter had small capital at the time, the scheme was given up. As soon, how ever, as Konit's urnnm-' mat bine uhi in vented, in 1S14. Walter consented that it should be tried on the Times; but for fear of the workmen, the experiment was made, not in the regular priming oih'cc of the paper, but in au adjoining building.

Every intelligent person should know how to ascertain the state of the pulse in health; then by comparing it with what it was when he was a. ling he may have some idea of the case. Parents should know the healthy pul.-c of each child, as now and then a person is born with a remark ably slow or fast pulse, and the very case in hand may be of that peculiarity. An infant's pulse is 140; a child of seven years, about 80; and from twenty to six ty yrars, it is 70 beats a minute, declining to 03 at fourscore. A heal hf'ul grow n person's pulse In-ats 70 times a minute. There may be good health down to 00; but if the pulse always exceeds 70, there isadisen.se. The machine is working it self out; there is fever and it.llaiiiii:a!i n somewhere, and the . body ia feeding on itself as in consumption. When the pulse is quick, thi.t i-, o' or CO, grad. tally life reading with decreased chance.-, of cur. until it reaches 1 10 or 1:20, when death conies before many days. When tho pulso is over 70 for mouths, there is a slight cough, the lungs are alfected. The "ew Stove. A fat citizen, having in view the pur chase of a coal stove, was yesterday stand ing in front of a hardware store, when a newsboy halted and respectfully said, "I s'pose you've s.-en the new stove, the one that beats 'em all." "I don't know that I have," was the calm reply. - "You orter see it, sir. They are alius taiUin' 'bout these coal stoves thr.t save ten per cent of fuel, and now they've ;ot one." "Have, eh !" "Yes'r, I saw this one goin' tho other day, hot 'nuff to bake an ox,-an' it didn't burn any coal at ali, not even a pound."

Livingstone, the missionary explorer of Africa, illustrates the lines: 'Honor and shame from no condition i!se ; Act well thy part ; there all the honor lies." "When David Livingstone was a boy he was obliged to bo ut the mills by six o'clock in the morning, and he did not leave until six o'clock in the evening. It might be well supposed that the little factory boy would have been glad to rest during the short time he was not at work. But a lad with such a spirit of detennin at.ou as David possessed was not easily to be deterred from pursuing the course he had marked out for himself. When he received his fir.st week's pay, he forthwith purchased a faun grammar with apoition of it, and within a very short time- joined an evening school. This school was a very humble one, and it was partly supported by the owners of die cotton mills lor the-beiicnt of those employed by them, the dominie w ho car ried it on being thus enabled to give iu struction at a low rate to his pupils. David now beg in to learn in real earn- e t, continuing nit; tit niter night to atti un the school until ten o'clock, and then de voting two hours sometimes n.ore, un less his mother prevented l.im by taking his books avv-y to the pieparation of the following day's lessons; and so ab sorbed was he always in his thought tli it the hard work in which he was regularly engaged seemed almost to bo lust sight of by him. 5IerIIc.il I'se or Salt. In many cases of disordeied stomach a teaspoonful of salt is a certain cure. In the violent internal aching termed colic add a teaspoon IV.l of salt to a pint of cold water, drink it and go to 'bed; it is one of the speediest remedies know n. The same will revive a person who seems a!inort dead from receiving a very heavy fall, etc. In au apoplctic. fit no time should bo ost in i Km ring down salt water, if stifii- cient sensibility remains to allow of swal lowing; it not, the head must be si o;itr d with cold-water until the sense rot urns, when salt will completely restore the pa tient from his lethargy. In a fit the feet should be placed iu w arm water, w ith mus'ard added, and the legs briskly rubbed all bandages removed from the neck, and a cold apai t.ncnt pro cured if possible.

I have had occasion to point out iow, dairying may deplete the soil on which the cows are fed, that .milk is rich in ni trogen and mineral constituents. A cow " that gives the moderate q'lantity of 1,0!'O lbs. of milk per yenr, would abstiuctfiom . the boil in her milk alone, 2i lbscf a ': i;nd 24 lbs of pur nitrogen in the 100 ' lbs of oiis?ine. If tho mil!: were sold ' this would be all lost to the soil; or if " made into cheese the mineral constitu ent's well i.s. nitrogen, will be mostly carried otf in the cheese. The depletion is much greater in feeding milch cows than in fattening steers or cattle. If we a.c to suppose the steer to train an avci- age of oU0 to 400 pounds live v,u:g!u per year, and then compare this with tho . moderate average we have supposed tho cow to produce in milk, wo find tho steer, only involves a lo-.s of throe or four lbs. of mineral constituents and about three los. of nitrogen. It w ill thus by seen that, it" the milk be sold, it will involve many limes us much loss to the Soil as in growth of tne fatti uir.g tr.cer. Whatever tho rl. er t at; n.o.e than sullk 'ent to" supply ti e elements of his prwth, goes back to ihe 8-iil in the, manure. This explains th; foundation lor Lie opinion quite prev alent ill it la-ryn- i more exhausting to the soil than be f i::i.::ig. But all daiiying is n t thus exhausting, lo the soil. (Ji mincicial.y tho mo.-t valu able element of tin; milk is the cream. When cream is the. only element of the milk sold, and all the rest ia fed to pigs or calves on the farm, it takes little or noth ing of value in the butter for that con tains no mineral, no nitrogen it is mere ly carbon and water which m ly be re placed from the atmosphere.
