'But why did you pay so much
for a shawl? It was aheer non
sense,' said my old friend, Capt.
Morton, as he mixed his third glass
of grog, and stirred in a multiplicity
of spiceB -before drinking it after
the manner of sailors when they can
get it. '"Why on earth did you pay
so much money for a shawl, when
you could buy one so moch cheaper?
Nine hundred dollars by tho blood
of a shark it would buy a house.'
That was his oath 'By the blood
of a shark ;' he never sworo any
other; aud the most abusive epithet
he could apply to a man one that to
him embodied the quintessence of
meanness was to call him 'a shark.'
'I tell you, Captain,' said I, 'but
then you must ackuowledge that the
shawl is a beauty if it did cost a
small fortune to a poor man. Last
year, when I camo home with a
cargo of tea from China, I left my
boat in good hands aud hurried to
my home in the little village of
Twiceaweek (we called it that be
cause our mail came twice a week,)
where all my hopes and affections
were invested in a wife and two
children. I was in joyous spirits,
and as happy a man as ever stepped
on terra firma. My handsome wife
was well and young as ever, my boy
as much like me as when I left him
many months before, and my gentle
G-year-old Ncllio lovelier than I had
dreamed she could be. My welcome
was an l couiu nave wisticu ; and
oh ! what bright days those were
that followed my immediate arrival 1
The third day my boxes were
brought out. Now, the opening of
a sailor's boxes is always a momen
tous affair to his family, and I had
brought mine all the presents I
could possibly procure or them.
Two pieces of rich silk for dresses
for my wife, beautiful Chinese table
linen, carved chessmen, and so on.
1 6aw a look of disappointment on
my wife's face, but I said nothing,
and the matter passed off.
'My old friends came to see me- -my
wife gave me my favorite dishes
and the week so happily spent was
gone before I knew it. Sunday
moruing came, bright and beautiful.
To my surprise, my wife came to
breakfast with rumpled hair, and
looking decidedly cross; after a
while she decided that she would
not go to church, though she was as
regular as the sexton, for she had
nothing fit to wear. I thought it
very odd, but said nothing, having
long since found out that arguing
with a woman is about as effectual
as dipping the ocean dry with a
tea-spoon.
'When Nellie and I got back there
stood my wife, her hair still un
combed, and ready to scold the child
for muddying her shoes her blue
Chinese boots, with the little bronze
bird on the side of them. I inter
fered with a good deal of firmness,
aud we went in to dinner. Nothing
On the table was cooked decently.
And so it was all tho next week.
My coffee was thick and muddy, my
meat done to a crisp, and I well
knew that the demon of mischief
was about lobe let loose; but why
I conlcl not guess.
'In the'mcantimo my wife's sister
who had been a kind of ship's cous
in quartered upon me ever since my
marriage, looked as demur as a
Connecticut deacou, and gave me no
hint what it was all about. On tho
next Saturday afternoon I was sit
ting with my wife and children
when there came a knock at the
door, and in came First Mate Wil
liam Bendoin and his wife, she in
all the splendor of a new rig. He
had returned the week before me
from Calcutta, and we were the only
seafaring meu of the place, and our
wives wero neighbors, and had al
ways been professedly great friends.
'I was delighted to see them, and
thought at the time that my wife
was very cool, though so exceeding
ly polite. I soon forgot all about
her manner, though, in the pleasure
of talking over old times, and they
made a long and to me a very pleas
ant call.
'As soon as they left, my wife
went up to her room, and I saw her
no more that evening, for when tea
was ready she sent down word she
had a headache, and wanted none.
The next day things were no bright
er than before, and when the first
church bell rang, my wife burst into
a flood of tears and set off for her
chamber. I followed her, and there
she lay on the bed in regular hys
terics. When she came to herself a
little, I asked :
'What on oarth is the matter?'
'She looked at me full in the face,
and said :
If you don't know, Thomas Wil
cox, you ought to !'
'I wilted under her looks like a
boy caught stealing marbles. The
truth is, I thought some villain had
been telling tales out of school; bat,
for. the life of me I couldn't con
ceive who it could be.
'By this time my wife was in an
other fit, worse than the first. I
conjured up all the recollecliond of
my voyage and they were not half
so pleasant as I could havo wished
them but, finding I could not res
tore her, I ran down stairs to make
some mulled wine. When I reached
the kitchen, there was my wife's
sister, with her demur face, which
helped to irritate me still more. I
called for wine and spices, aud,
while I was heating it, she began.
She wished to gracious hor sister
knew how to treat a husband as he
deserved to be treated ; that if she
was a wife, she would know how to
prize a man who did everything a
man could do to please her.
I was in no humor to hear my
wife abused my conscience at that
time making a kind of coward of
mo so I burst out npon her in a
rage, told her she was a snake in the
grass, aud I would rather havo her
sister than a thousand such as she
was ; if there wa3 any trouble be
tween Mollie aud me, why, I knew
who to thank for it.
'She lifted up her eyes and hands
abovo her head, and said that all
men were fools, but I was the great
est fool of them all.
This brought on a spirited alter
cation, in which I spoke my mind
pretty freely. As soon as the wine
was heated, I decanted it into n
tumbler. My sister-in-law recom
mended hot vinegar, but I told her
I would leave that for her.
'On my way up-stairs I thought I
heard my wife's footsteps in her
chamber, but when I entered she
was lying on the bed, crying in a
very sensible manner. I had no
difficulty in persuading her to drink
the wine. She caught hold of my
hand and kept sobbing. She did not
deserve such a husband, she said. I
was too good for her, and she was
not worth all the kindness I gave her.
'I felt encouraged, and, kissing
her again, begged her to tell me
what was the matter. At this she
began crying and sobbiug again,
and said she could not tell me, as I
would hate her, and she deserved to
be hated, etc.
'The more she decried herself, the
more peniteut I became, and, in fact
I was on the point of making a clean
breast of it aud asking her forgive
ness; but luckily I did not, for in a
little she told me the terrible bug
bear. First Mate Bendoin had
brought home1 to his wife a cash
mere shawl, while I had only bro't
her the silk dresses.
Is that all?' I cried, clasping her
in my arms and feeling intense re
lief; aud then told her how unkind
it was to keep mo in such suspense;
and she laid her brown head on my
breast and begged to be forgiven.
'Now every woman has her Na
poleon Bonaparte, and my wife's
was Sirs. Win. Bendoin, and the
agonizing thought of being outdone
by that lady at church had caused
all this commotion, and perhaps
given me dyspepsia through eating
tough bread. I explained to my
domestic angel that cashmere shawls
came from one part of the country
and silk from another but as soon
as I possibly could, her wish should
be gratified. By dinner time the
pretty face was as smiling as ever,
and to my astonishment she spoke
sharply to her sister the first time
I ever heard her do so.
I had reason to believe afterward
that my wife, hearing our loud
voices, had come to the top of the
stairs and listened ; for once in the
world a listener heard good of her
self, and it resulted in my sister-in-
law's marrying herself to a saddler
aud leaving my house.
'The next week I had to go to the
city on business, and I took my wife
along to have her China silks made
up; I secretly resolved lo buy a
shawl that would outshine Mrs.
Beudoin's, and the day after rny
arrival I was lucky enough to find a
claret-colored satin bonnet, the ex
act shade of her handsomest dress,
with a long, drooping plumo that
penectiy enrapiurea ner. wc re
mained in town five or six days:
her dresses-came home beautifully
made, she said, and just suited her.
I bought her all the little trumpery
she wanted, aud she was delighted
with her visit.
'Two days before we started home
I met my old friend Legget, just
from Calcutta, with four of the
most beautiful shawls I ever saw;
he allowed me to take my choice at
cost price, M'hich was ?450, while he
modestly made out the receipt at
$900. This I put safely away in my
trunk when my wife was out.
'We reached home the last of the
week, found the children well, and
heard that the world-renowned
Prof. Lumley would preach in our
little hamlet the next Sunday. I
saw my wife's eyes dance at the in
telligence ; perhaps at the thought of
ner new dress and bonnet, her six I worst."
button gloves, Mrs. Bendoin had
never had any higher than five-buttons,
perhaps of the excellent dis
course she was to hear who knows ?
'Sunday was a bright, frosty day,
and my Mollie really looked charm
ing as she camo down stairs ready
for church iu her.rich silk and new
bonnet. She had on a light cape.
'My dear,' said I, 'don't you need
something heavier around you?'
Oh, no, not to-day, I think.'
I stepped out of the room a mo
ment, brought out my splendid
present and threw it around her
shoulders. She looked at it iu a
dazed way for a moment, then threw
herself into my arms and burst into
tears. I soon kissed them away, and
we started to church.
'Wo walked up to the head of the
broad aisle, aud it would have done
your heart good to hear her sweet,
clear voice as she saug that day.
When service was over, she had a
kind word for everybody ; especially
was she anxious to hear from Mrs.
Bendoin's children ; sho lingered on
the church steps for a good while
to see that lady.
'I put the bill where I knew Mol
lie would find it, aud while tho men
all voted me a fool, the women all
said I was tho best husband in
Twiceaweek; that I liked lo see ray
wife look like somebody, etc. Nover
had our place been as dressy as it
was that winter, and I hud the satis
faction of knowing that I was tho
cause of the other married men hav
ing to spend some money for dry
goods, aud especially those whose
wives and daughters attended the

A Ifllne OwHcr'n ruititalcc
A man now a prominent merch
ant of Virginia City won at poker an
undeveloped gravel claim near Ne
vada City, worth in the neighbor
hood of two hundred dollars. His
friends had the laugh ou him for
several days regarding his "invest
ment," and asked him what propor
tion of the taxes ho would pay in
case they accepted the property as a
gift. He finally got mad at their
incessant guying, and told them they
would see he was not such a fool aB
they took him for before he got
through with that mine. Ho then
wrote to some capitalist acquaintan
ces that he had a claim worth a fab
ulous sum, which he would sell for
$2,000, boing hard pressed finan
cially. Tho bank was next visited,
$500 worth of gold-dust and nuggets
bought, and the claim thoroughly
"salted." When the intending pur
chasers arrived they prospected the
ground a little, and the panning-ont
was attended by big cleanups. They
paid the $2,000 the same day, and
got possession of the ground. Work
was at once begun, and they took
out $8,000 inside of three weeks.
The "salter" was bo taken aback that
he did not smile for a month, and
the parties to whom he confided his
shrewdness at the time of its perpe
tration never meet him to this day
but they ask him if he has another
gravel mine to sell. Nevada (Col.)
Transcript.
Among the matters affecting our
well-being, tho better fitting of our
girls for their entrance into the so
cial and family world, is of serious
importance. Of course, the girls
must be educated as thoroughly as
circumstances will permit But
when she has become proficient in
tho usual feminine accomplishments,
is that all the education necessary
to make her a useful and happy
woman? Sho desires a home of her
own, and although her mother is
loth to lose her from the home nest,
she can not deny her the privilege
of following her mate, as the mother
did before her. Indeed, it is con
sidered au undesirable thiug by
most mothers to have a houso full
of "old maids." But It its a fact, in
spite of this feeling, that many
mothers do not prepare their daugh
ters for happy marriages. They
neglect to teach them the common
est duties of a house keeper, under
the mistaken idea, which they hold
in love aud tenderness, that they do
not want their daughters to have so
hard a life as they have. So they
ignore the truth that- no ono am
place herself at tho head of a house
hold without taking on care for
which, if she has not been properly
educated, her lot will be all the
harder. Mauy young girls begin
this new homo-life without even
the first elements of essential knowl

I could tell of a newly-made bride,
past thirty, though blooming as a
girl, who was a thorough and popu
lar teacher in the city schools, takes
a high place in society, excels in
fancy work, and is a good seam
stress; but who has no more idea
how a meal of victuals is prepared
than a bird of the air. This may be
all well enough while she 'board?'
but the time will come when nhp
will wish her good mother had
taught her how to cook a beefsteak
and make a pudding.
Tho young woman needs, too, to
know how to fashion and make gar
ments for ordinary wear, for we
rarely fiud an average family ih our
country communities that is able to
hire all the necessary cutting, fitting,
and sewing, without seriously crip
pling its resources for other needs.
One need not, in order tt be thrifty
and economical, always be her own
dressmaker, or her good man's tail
or; for there is often real economy
iu getting these heavy jobs off one's
hands, thus leaving the wife readier
and stronger for the many duties
constantly arising, which no one
else can do so well. But tho plain
sewing can he moat neatly and sav
ingly done at home, uudcr the care

From Kitchen to Throne.
We read of peculiar things hap
pening in life, and a wise man sho'd
be surprised at nothing. In like
manner a comely aud modest wo
man has often a fortune in her face,
if she knows how beauty should
become her. To witr During tho
troubles in the reign of King Charles
I a country girl came up to Lon
don in search of a place as servant
maid, but not succeeding she applied
herself to carrying out beer from a
brew-house, aud was one of those
then called tub-women. The brew-
er, ooserving a weu-iooKiug girl in
this low occupation, took her into
his family as a servant, and after
awhile, she behaving with so much
prudence and decorum, he married
her. He died when she was yet a
young woman and left her a largo
fortune. The business of the brew
ery was dropped, and the young
woman was recommended to Mr.
Hyde as a gentleman of skill in the
law to settle her affairs. Hyde
(who was afterward (he great Earl
of Clarendon,) finding the widow's
fortune very considerable, married
her. Of this marriage there was no
other issue than a danghter, who
was afterward tho wife of James 1L,
and mother of Mary and Anne,
Queens of England.
A case of domestic scandal was
under discussion at a tea table.
"Well, let us think the best of her
we can," said an elderly spinster.
"Yes," said another, "and say the
The student of history reads of
the great sea-fight which King Ed
ward III. fought with the French
oil' Sluys; how iu those days the
merchant vessels came up to the
walls of that flourishing seaport by
every tide ; and how, a century later,
a Portugese fleet conveyed Isabella
from Lisbon, aud an English fleet
brought Margaret of York from the
Thames to marry successive Dukes
of Burgundy at the port of Sluys.
In our time, if a modern traveler
drives twelve miles out of Bruges,
across the Dutch frontier, he will
find a small agricultural town, sur
rounded by corn-fields and meadows
and clumps of trees, whence the sea
is not iu sight from the top of the
town steeple. That is Sluys.
Once more. We turn to the great
Baie du Mont Saint Michel, between
Normandy and Brittany. In Koniau
authors we read of the vast forest
called "Setiacum Nemus," iu the
center of which au isolated rock
arose, surmounted bj;a temple of
Jupiter, once a college of Druid-
esses. Now the 6arae rock, with its
glorious pile dedicated to St. Michel,
is surrounded by the sea at high
tides. The story of this transforma
tion is even more striking than that
of Sluys, and its adequate narration
justly earned for M. Manet the gold
medal of the French Geographical
Society in 1828.
Once again. Let us turn for a
moment to the Mediterranean shores
of Spam, and the mountains of Mur
cia. Those rocky heights, whose
peaks stand ont against the deep
blue sky, scarcely support a blade of
vegetation. The algarobas and ol
ives at their bases are artificially
supplied with soil. It is scarcely
credible that these arc the ame
mountains, which, according to the
forest book of King Alfonso el
Sabio, were once clothed to their
summits with pines and other forest
trees, .while soft clouds and mist
hung over a rounded, shaggy outline
of wood where now the naked rocks
Before tbi3 there has occurred a
thrilling episode. The great orches
tra, under the puissant baton of
Michael Braud, struck up the thrill
ing old air of '-Dixie," with its soul
thrilling associations and memories.
For a moment there was a hush.
The old soldiers of the North aud
the old soldiers of the South looked
at each other and the vast throng
was still. But before the second bar
was struck the emotion of the gal
lant Southerners overcame them,
and almost simultaneously their
sprang to their feet, more than a
thousaud strong, aud the old South
ern battle cry made the lofty arches
ring again. Side by side with them
stood the Northern hosts and cheer
ed with them. Again aud again tho
men ol the South broke forth as the
gay measuies woko their enthusiasm,
aud tho strains of the orchestra were
Tairly drowned by their united
voices.
A prominent gentleman of Cinci'u
nati, and a famous soldier, turned to
Gov. Mnrks, of Tennessee, and said :
"That is the old rebel yell."
"Yes," was the reply, "and now
hear it raised for the stars and
stripes," for just theu the orchestra
struck up that grand old patriotic
air. The scene that followed is in
describable. Such an one was nev
er witnessed before. As thi full
orchestra poured forth the graud
old strains of
"The star-spangled banner.
Oh, Ions may it wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave,"
the great organ burst forth in glo
rious unison with nil its magnificent
power, and the vast audience arose
as one maa, and the old Union cheer
blended with the old Jtebel yell to
the notes of the national air for tho
first time sinco the dark and bloody
years of the great civil war. Men
who had faced each other on many a
crimson battlefield, under the stars
and stripes, and under tho stars and
bars, clasped hands and waved hand
kerchiefs, until the great level of
the hall was like a white sea. Ail
the sound of the orchestra and organ
was lost iu the exultant shouts of
reconciliation and common patriot
ism, aud the great wave of enthu
siasm bwept over the vast, glowing
concourse, and carried everything
before it. It was a scene never to be r
forgotten by those who participated,
a moment that was cardinal in the
history of the great Ilepnblic. C't't

Take life Hko a man, says the
Spurgeon. Take it just as though it
was as it is an earnest, vital, es
sential affair. Take it just as though
you were born to the task of per
forming a merry part in it as tho
the world had waited your coming.
Take, it as though it were a grand
opportunity to achieve, to carry for
ward great and good schemes, to
hold and to cheer a suffering, weary,
it may be heart-broken brother. The
fact is life is undervalued by a great
majority of mankind. It is not
made half as much of as bhould be
the case. Where is the man or wJ
man who accomplishes one tithe ot
what might be done. Who cannot
look back on opportunities lost and
plans unachieved and thoughts
crushed, all caused from lack of nec
essary and possible effort! If wo
knew better how to take and make
the most of life, it would be greater
than it is. Now and then a man
stands aside from the crowd, labors
earnestly, steadily, confidently, and
straightway becomes famous for
wisdom, intellect, skill, greatness of
some sort. The world wonders, ad
mires, idolizes; and yet it only
illustrates what each may do if he
takes hold of life with a purpose.
If a man but say he will, and follow
it up, there is nothing in reason he
may not expect to accomplish.
A jury in the City Court of New
York disagreed one day last week,
and when Judge McCue Inquired,
"How do you stand, gentlemen?"
the foreman replied : "Your Honor,
there are six of ns on one side, and
four on the other; one is on both
sides, and one didn't vote." Judge,
jurors and spectators were convuls
ed with laughter, but the foreman
was unable to see the joke.
