You forget that you are Frank's widow. You are too forward.' I hesitated a moment, really anx ious to keep my temper; for I was Frank's widow, and the speaker was his mother. 'Forward!' cried Mary. 'Indeed, you would have been shocked last night, mother. There was Mr. Vance urging her to sing, and acting as if Herbert Halstead was her only friend, when it was only as a mar ried woman " Yes,' interrupted Julia. 'I think, mother, if you can't make Kate re alize that she is married, witii a daughter nearly six years of age, you had better ' 'Send me away,' I broke in, unable longer to control rayseif,.'it's not the first time that hint has been thrown out, and if it were not for little Nel lie, poor chil, I would go away to earn my living at ouce. You drive mo desperate. I declare I will mar ry again, and get rid of all this ' and then I burst into tears. 'Marry again! How will you do it? Oh, yes! a good joko!' cried Julia, with a shrug at my tears. Don't you see, Mary, it's leap year!' and she laughed derisively. 'Who'll ask you?' sneered Mary. 'Herbert Halstead? Julia, you'd better look out!' 'You may sneer 1 cried, checking my tears. I was not thoroughly angry. "But I (ell you, if no one again because she wouldn't sing, and I hen they said she was fordard. What's fordard ?' 'Forward indeed 'ejaculated Her bert, under his breath. 'If it had been some others now. But, Nellie, how about leap year?' 'Oh, yes! I most fordot, didn't I ? Well, you see, mamma said but, oh, Undo Herbert, I never showed you my two weenie now little kit tens! Thoy's only little sings, wiv out eyes. Come out to the piazza and I'll show you.' It was no use to be impatient. The young man knew the child too well for that, and so they went out and inspected the kittens. Then he tried to coax Nellie back to the subjoct. 'Oh, I fordot!' she said. 'Only they made mamma say' 'What did they say, darling ? I'll give you a big doll' 'With rea' hair?' 'Yes, yes ! Real hair and eyes, and oh, nothing. But did they say I wanted to marry' 'They say mamma wasn't a girl, aud she was old; and mamma said oh, there's mamma. Mamma didn't you ask Uncle Herbert to marry you? He wants to know.'

I had fairly taken up their own weapoiiB of personalities which I scorned. The moment after asham ed of myt-elf, I ran to the room to put on my bonnet and get out of the house. I looked in the glass, as I put the crape bonnet, with its wid ow's cap. aud heavy veil on my head, I saw a face to which black was very becoming, though it was not a remarkably pretty face. It looked not more than 25, some say not moro than 20; but I was really over 23. Married at 18 to Frank Stevens, I had been a petted wife for four years, and now a widow of two. The thought of the happiness of tho four and the loneliness of the two, as I looked at the face surrounded by crape, made the tears come again ; but I brushed them away resolutely and went out, knowing that a brisk walk would do me. more good than anything else. I went out without my darling, my inseparable com panion, my little baby girl, Nellie. This alone showed how troubled I was. Truth to tell, I was too angry to trust myself with tho little one who might have asked to have onr conversation explained, for she had been In the room at the time. I could'only hope that at five years old a child did not understand mo. Soon after I left, my mother-in-law and her daughters went out for a drive. They invited Nellie to go, i but she, feeling, perhaps, that they had not treated ma'ma well, refused. Soon the front-door bell raug, and like all children, Nellie must run to see who was there. She managed to open the door herself, and there stood her prime favorite among the gentlemen that visited the house, Mr. Halstead, or, as she had called him since her babyhood, uncle Her bert. He bad been her father's chum and dearest friend, aud loved the child for Frank's sake. Ladies home, Nell ?' 'I'm home,' she said, 'and I dess mamma 'II be in soon.' Very well. Let's go in the parlor and have a chat.' Nellie sat iu his lap, discussing the merits of cocoauul cakes and sugar almouds a little while ; but, suddenly dropping her candies in her lap, she asked, 'What's leap lean leap, I fordet. Do you know what'a it ?' 'Leap? leap frog? leap year? Is that it?' Yes. What bit?' Wby, it's a year when you ladies can ask (he gentlemen to marry you. But you see, Nellie, you're too young or wouldn't you ask me?' 'Ob, no! I wouldn't ask you. Mamma's going to ask you.' The young man nearly droppod the child, and then folded her close to him, lest perhaps he should for get her again. 'What do you mean, darling?' he asked. 'Now think, Nellie, but don't tell Uuclo Herbert anything of your own make up 'Oh, no! really, truly, bless me, 6he's alive isn't that what you say when you are true? Well!' the little tot gave a long sigh aud paus ed, Herbert not daring to interrupt her lest she should see his anxiety, and miniature woman that she was, should refuse to satisfy him. 'Well,' she repeated, 'you 6ee they does scold mamma, so they does. I had come in, looking for the child, pud that was the speech I heard. I felt ready to sink with mortification. 'Kate, darling, can't I hope you'll let me ask ? You must know that I hoped, when these (touching my veil and black dress) were put aside, that I could ak you to let me care for you, and at once. Come, darling,' as I hid my face in my hands. 'You've asked me to marry you, aud 1 must name the day, and I say now, at once. Let's "ive them a rood. thorough surprise. lean guess how they've treated you. Come, now, get ready this fairy, this blessed lit tle darjing, that has brought me my happiness, and we'll go to your own minister.' I tried to refuse, but I was so weary of living with mother-in-law, that at last we three slipped out of the house; and dear Dr. S , who had baptised me, married me to Frank, and knew Herbert well, married us. Wo drove back and reached the front door as the family were re turning. Julia, who would appro priate Herbert, stepped forward. 'Good evening, Mr. Halstead. So you met Kale on the steps? Strange' with a glance at me, as if I had planned to meet him. 'Not at all, Miss Julia,' said Her bert. 'My wifo and I just call iu to receive your congratulations and to leave little Midget here for a few days.' No tableau I have ever seeu was half so comical as tho one those three made. I really felt for Julia, for I knew she cared for Herbert. Sho gained self-possession quickly, aud congratulated me, whispering, as she kissed me: 'So you asked him?' My husband heard aud answered : 'No, Miss Julia, she did not ask me. Through other means, manic God, I learned the one I loved was unhappy ; aud, as I hoped for more than a year past to soon ask her to be my wife, I persuaded her to marry me at ouce. Leap-year priv ileges are still open for those who choose to use them.' We are quite an old married couple now, for three years have passed ; but Herbert and I still often laugh over Nellie's leap-year proposal. llecti-ae'Preaa-Mlj Made ill Poiats. r Iret m Tieae Dteti- cry, to-morrow (she would call yes it. 271 To-day morning they maked mamma The Democrats 'allow' terday to-morrow) they scolded her Blaine's health is pretty fair. IIIbIh Tor Vohbc Preacherv. An old preacher says that "no man is tit to preach who does not covet a pulpit more than a throne, aud who does not sit down to a sermon with more enjoyment lhau a hungry man sits down to his dinner. When you lose your interest in your work, your people will very soon lose their interest in you. If the ministry is not tho highest of enjoyments, it will soon become the. dreariest of drudgeries. Doth not the Master love those who love His service. The most valuable hints I ever re ceived came to me from a baker at Saratoga. I had been preaching there during my miuistereal boyhood. The baker met me the next day at the railway statlou, and said: 'I believe you are the young man who spoke in our church yesterday.' 'Yes ; I am.' 'Well,' said he, 'I felt sorry for you, because I thought you did not kuow what cultivated and critical people there are here in sum mer.

New York, Feb. 9. A Dublin letter to a morning paper gives a terrible picture of destitution in 8omo parts of Ireland. The famine fever prevails to an alarming extent in some places, and harrowing de scriptions are given of distress. There are four parishes in Conne mara, lying along the southern coast of Galway Couuty? It is 9aid not ono of the three commissioners de puled by the Government to inquire into the state of things in Connaught has visited those parishes. Similarly, two gentlemen who traveled through the reported dis- irutsseu uisiriuis, un uonau 01 me Duchess of Marlborough, are said to have left these parishes out of their inspection. They lie far away from all the regular routes. The work house, the legal refuge for the desti tute, is tweuty-six miles away. The process-server, however, has visited these wilds, pud these four parishes cover an area of about forty miles square, and there is not iu the whole of Irelaud a more woe-begone re gion. The following is the report about the condition of a parish named Carnagah: With perhaps1 a couple of dozen of exceptions, the whole population of 5.000 are on tho high road to death by staiyation. Hun ger has overtaken more than a third already. Those who havo anything to eat arc living oa seed potatoes. Every day some family is eating Its last meal of them. A number of families squat in their cubins, around the morsel of live turf, all day, in order not to awaken pangs of hun ger by active exercise. Poor peasant mothers stumble over miles of sharp-pointed rocka with their bare feet to implore In dian meal for their whining chil dren. They also carry lairs of turf or dripping sea-weed on their backs for ten or fifteen miles like beasts of burden. Starvation is growing far aud wide. Tho weather is cold, and the people are half-naked. There are no beds even for the sick. They lio in dirty clothes witb an old tattered rug around them. Assistance is promised the famishing in the spring, but it is a question how ma ny Connmara peasauts will live to see spring, and those who survive will be emauiatdd aud incapacitated. Nine-tenths of the whole coast population of Connaught, from Gal way to Sligo, are on the brink of starvation. WHAT A UNITED STATES ARMT OFFI CER SAY8 OF IT. Washington, D.C.,Feb. 9. Lieut. Thomas Garvey, U. S. A., who has just returned from Ireland, where he has been on a visit to bia mother and relatives, was interviewed last night by a Post reporter. He de scribes the sufferings a?id destitution as even exceeding the published ac counts, aud says that Irelaud is in a very uusottled state. The peoplo have become indiffer ent through oppression, aud exhibit an unconcerned, crushed feeling that bodes no good. He predicts that the suffering must last- at least six months longer, until the next crops, and says that every cent which can be raised is needed. He also states that when the landlords commence a general eviction the peoplo will resist, and serious trouble will en sue. AMERICAN CONTRIBUTIONS ARE HAV ING A GOOD EFFECT. London, Feb. 9. A Dublin dis patch says: Though there are still deplorable accounts from some dis tricts, there Is generally a more' hopeful spirit among tho people. Tho new applications for loans by laud-owners during the past week reached 203; amount applied for, 111,000; siuco Nov. 22, 376,000.1 Sllmgy 31ea, Bob Iugersoll says: I despiso a stingy man. I don't see how it is possible for a man to die worth fifty millions of dollars, or ten millions of dollars, in a city full of want, when he meets almost every day the withered hand of beggary and the white lips of famine. How a man can withstand all that, aud hold iu the clutch of his hand twenty or thirty millions of dollars, is past my comprehension. I do not see how he can do it. I should not think he could do it any more than ho could keep a pile of lumber when hun dreds aud thousands wore drowning in tho sea. Do you know I have known men who would trust their wives witb their hearts and their honor, but not with their pocket books not with a dollar. When 1 see a man of that kind I always think he knows which U tho most valuable. Think of making your wife a beggar ! Thiuk of her having to ask you every day for a dollar or two dollars, or to humbly beg for fifty cents ! "What did you do u ith that Qollar I gave you?" Think of having a wife that is afraid of you! What kind of children do you ex pect to have with a beggar and a coward for the'r mother? Oh, I tell you, if you Lavo got but a dollar in the world, and you bavo got to spond it, spend it like a kiug; spend it 83 though it wero a dry leaf, and you the owner of unbounded forests. That's the way to spend it. I had rather be a beggar and spend my last dollar like a king, than to be a king and spend my money like a beggar. If it's got to go, let it go. Get the best you can for your fami ly t.y and look as well as you can yourself. When you used to go courting, how nice you looked! Ab, your eye was bright, your step was light, and you just put on the very best you could. Do you kuow that it is insufferable egotism in you to suppose that a woman is going to love you always looting as bad as you can? Think of it! Auy wo- man uu eauu win ue true to you forever when you do your level best. ytPrmu t'ae to Effect. N The rational look of the world is denied by no one. Eyes look as it they were made to see with. Ears as If -'hey wero made to hear with. Legs look as if they were made to walk with. The nutritive apparatus looks as if it wore made to keep the body in repair. The lungs look as if they wero mado to aerato the blood; and the blood-vessels as if made witb an eye to their actual functions. And in general, agency everywhere assumes that nature is Economy la the Family. There is nothing which goes so far toward placing young people beyond the reach of poverty as econ omy in the management of their domestic affairs. It matters not whether a man furnish little or much for his family if there is a continual leakage in his kitchen or iu the parlor; it runs away he know) not how, and that demon waste cries "more," like the horseleech's daugh ter, until he that provided has no more to give. It is the husband's duty to bring iuto the house, and it is the duty of the wife to seo that none goes wrongfully out of It sot the least article, however unimport ant in itself, for it establishes a precedent ; nor under any pretence, for it opens the door for ruin to stalk in, and ho seldom leaves an opportunity unimproved. A man gets a, wife to look after his aflkirs, and to assist him iu his journey through life, to educate and prepare his children for a proper station in life, aud not to dissipate his prop erly. The husband s interest should be the wife's care, and her greatest ambition carry her no farther than his welfare or happiness, together witb that of her children. This should be her sole aim, and the theater of her exploits is the bosom of her family, whero she may do as much toward making a fortune as he can iu the counting-house or the workshop. It is not tho money earned that makes a man wealthy it is what he saves from his earuings. A good and prudent husband makes a de posit of the fruits of his labor witb his best friend ; and if that friend be not true to him, what has he to hope ? If he dare not place contideuce iu tho companion of his bosom, where is ho to place it? A wife acts uot for herself alone, but sho is tho ageut of many she loves, and she is bound to act for their good and not for her own gratification. Her husband's good is the end at which she should aim his approbation is her reward. Self-gratification in dress, or indul gence iu appetite, or more company than his purse ean well eutortain, are equally pernicious. The first adds vanity to extravagance the second fasteus a doctor's bill to a long butcher's account and the lat ter brings intemperance, the worst of all evils, in its trpiu. rational, and that everything is adapted to everything else. We must remember that science- is not merely observation ; but is chiefly the conclusions from the observa tions. Science aims by the aid of reasoning to pass behind the pheno mena aud form some conception of the supersensible realities upon which appearances are based. But it enters iuto this bidden world only by thought; aud it implicitly as sumes, therefore, that the laws or thought are valid for all being. Science, then, is built upon the no tion that the real is ratioual and in telligible; and it aims to grap the ratioual system which is iu things. If wo should assume that the real is irrational, and unintelligible, all our science would perish. What would become of astronomy if we assume that the flying planet is not bound by the rational principles of mathematics? The atomic theory and ether theory are no facts of ob servation, but ouly rational infer ences from phenomena; but if the real is not rational, of course these aud all other scientific theories fall to the ground. We conclude then, that there is mind back of nature wjiirli rralizas-in .nature its precon ceived plans and purposes. ftapeleoa'M Farce of Will.
