It was very foolish, no donbt-- every one said so--for George Dan- worth to fall in love with, and want to marry his mother's seam stress. | Foolish, because he was Squire Dan- forts only son and heir, abd the pride of Squire Daalortlh's lLieart ; foolish because he might have mar ried Mi ciding, who was a mil- lionairesa in her own ight, and ugly enough to be set up in a cornfield, and. who adored the ground he walk: ed on. Ioolish, because he might have had "his pick. of the parish, where there were a score of nice well-dowered girls pining in the stem j foolish, because he was yonug and handsome, and indolent, and professionlcss--the darling of the gods, but not much used to the wear aud tear of work-a-day life. Doubly foolish, because Jessie Mayley was only a shy little brown-cyed child of eighteen, without a relative in the wide world, ora farthing to bless herself w this one room, being large and airy, gentleman expected, it would be dif- will suffice for* us .for the present, When I get a situation, and a salary, it will be different. What sort of a situation the young ficult to say. He had no profession, knack of piano-playing, or picture- clerk in a store, and if he had, he could not have got at them for he had no reference. He wrote a good hand, big and bold and dashing, like himself, and thought he might get the post of secretary somewhere, to] some one, or coying to do for the lawyers, So he read the papers religiously every morning after breakfast, smoking his cigar and looking admiringy across the damp sheet at his bright little wife, and thinking what a lucky fellow he was. He answered all the eligible adver-- tisements among the long columns changgriding up and down in stages, applying for places that seemed just the thing in print, and. inconceiy= able humbugs in reality, There was uo demand for secretaries, and law- yers' copying was scarce, and the times ridiculously hard ; and in five weeks George's funds were run out, and he was as far from work as ever. Tney had been weeks of ec-- static bliss to him and Jessie, but now he stood staring blaokly at his empty purse, with the most dolorous face be had ever worn in his life* 1 dow't know what to do, Jessie | hie svid, dismally, only twenty dollars left, now that our bills gyre paid, and np more to come from anywhere.-- What's to be done ? Let us leave this hotel, Jessie sug- gested, and take a furnished, room somewhere. That will be cheap, and I can cook ; and before thé twenty dollars arc spent, something will be sure to turn up. ; You little darling | Mr: Dantforth said, kissing her rapturously, 1 should never have thought of that I Whilst cious, prudent, little wife, Next morning, after breakfast, the twain departed, George to look for that weary work, Jessie for that fur- ished room. Jessie herself with, byt BLD she corned every wayyyou took ity, Lut an ac- complished fact for all that ; and the more everybody scoffed, and scolded, and stormed, the more deeply, irre~| tricvably, determinedly, and absurd ly George Danworth fell in love. He could not see his folly, poor young man 1 and did very little credit to lis bringing-up by stooping to a paid domestic "but he loved Jessie with ail his heart, and Jessie loved him, and he had been used for two- and-twenty years to having every- thing his own way, and was not likely to give up now. Madam Danforth and her two tall danghtevs held a conucil of war on Al this troublesome subject one da ) the result was that the obnoxious little seamstress was sent packing. George was away that day. for a wonder, He hod hannted the house like an uneasy ghost ever since his falling in love," and there was a pretty to-do, 1 tell you, when he came home at night. The blue cycs flashed stort the fair handsome face: flushed angriest red, and the pleasant voice rang like a bugle blast through Danforth Hall. Then he was gone, banging the front-door resonantly after him striding through the starry darkness, in quest of his lost love. le found her easy enongh--- the town wus not such a vast place-- found her with her pretty face lying in her hands, her brown hair all wet with a ruin of tears. George gath- ered ker up in his arms--snch a little creature, and he so great and grand and let hier ery her fiest trouble out over his heaving heart, Then when she was still, only sobbing and shiv- ering and flattering a little in her nest, poor bird | he set himself grim- ly to talk her to reason. They must be married and at once ; life was to short to be spent in waiting ; at ¢ighteen and attwenty two they were old enough tb setile their own des- tiny ; they would leave this odions place, and its put se proud aristocracy and go out into the Liz world, and fight the battle of Life on their own hook. Little Jessie listened and was con vinced. Tt was very sweet reason- ing, and she loved him so dearly-- ber handsome iwmpetacus young wooer | ; The few objéctions she faintly faltercd were not even listened to ; and when they parted, it was to meet to-morrow, tu part again. po more, forever. \ And that is how George Daiiforth and Jessie Mayley got married. Never shone the summer-sun on a fairer, sweeter bride--so downcast, so drovping, so flushed, so tearful, so infinitely uuspeakably happy. And never shone that lominary of .this er, more glorified bridegroom than as he led Ler out of the little church, and away to the railway-station, where they were to take the first train for busy New York, - A week later, in that turbid, rest- less, wonderfal metropolis, and their new life had fairly commenced tolerably well, George had a few the ill-doing heir of many Danforths; River, furnished very dirtily and mastily, as it is in the natare of such apartments to be,-but at a rent pro= portioned to a very modest income-- not so modest as theirs, however, which was nothing at all. Jessie did more, she went to work- sccking too ; and, more fortunate than ber liege-lord, obtained it. Sew: ing, of course, for Jews, shirt-mak- ing, and you may know how that is paid for. George's face turned turn- ed dark red as he saw her, bending over it, and he dropped into a chair as if sume one had struck him. 0, Jessie | he cried. Jessie knelt beside him, her arms round his neck, her sunny little face uplifted. George, darling, it is nothing, I like to do it. I've always been used to doing it, and I feel happier busy. If they only paid a little better, I should be as happy as a queen, But I vever meant for you to work, my poor little Jessie | Iintended to work for you, as a husband should. And so you shall, when you get it to do. You musn't be in too much of a hurry, George--something will tarn up soon, never fear. In such a great place es this city, there. must be something to do. Which was very likely, but George did not getit. Three weeks went vy--Jessio sewed from daylight to midnight sometimes, but could not carn enough to pay the rent ; and George wore the boots off his feet tramping up and down, dreary miles of pavement.

Go! in. yy gra a TS, from slight "creeps" to congestive ohiils, for fever is the reaction of coldness, but when there is not pow- er enough 1n the system to react from the cold stage, death is certain, as in congestive chill, in which the blood becomes so cold, so thick, and so im- pure, that it ceases to circulate, be- comes stagnate, and the machinery of life stops forever. Hundreds of # sands die every autumn of the th forms of disease mentioned, but' ofie need die j mey eases, their causes being known, and all that isyequired is to bring a very moderate amount of intelligence to bear in avoiding these causes. 4 baby will avoid putting its finger in | the candle a second time ; it remaing only to grown-up stupids to expose them:elves to the causes of disease year after yenr, and thus recklessly imperil health and even life itself. The cause of arumnal diseases is an emanation {rom the surface of the earth in those localities where are found in combination, heat moisture, and vegetable matter, such as leaves, wood, ete., for the heat of eighty de- grees, combined with moistfire Lie ces decay, and from this decaying substance something arises which, if breathed, or otherwise taken into the system, induces the diseases mention. ed, sooner or later. Bo t What that emanation is, has hiths erto been merely a conjecture be- cause it was so impalpable, so like thin air, that the atmosphere which contained it when subjected to chem- ical analysis yielded nothing beyond the constituents of pure air. But within a year or two it has been as- certained that if a quantity of air of a miasmatic locality is bottled up and is conveyed to a sleeping apartment, the person who breathes it will, in a short time have more or less decided symptoms of fever and ague ; and on examining the saliva or the inside of - his mouth a living, moving thing is clearly visible with microscopic aid. Observation and experiment haye shown incontrovertibly that there ase two ways of escaping the ill effects of having these living things intro- duced into the systein--persons must avoid living in localities where the land is rich, flat, and moist, or they must drain those lands ; but it is pos- sible to live in such . localities and have reasonably good health, simply by keeping in the morning; pithoa bri : down, becaus foun those emanations are more poisonous at sunrise and sunset, and that if the stomach is excited to action by the process of digestion the emanation is rendered inocuous, perhaps from the fact that, in part, the juices of the stomach at the time of digestion are of a character to destroy the life of these living things ; but the fact re- mains the same, whether this suppo- sition is true or not. A practical nse may be made of this subject in the light of these facts, in reference to breathing night air.-- Very many advocate the raising of windows in a sleeping apartment, sommer or winter, all the year round; the theory scems a good one, but ex- perience will not corroberate it. Pey- sons living on water courses where the * bottom lands," as they are call- ed, are rich, luxuriant aud damp, will save health aud life itself by keepin, ull ouside doors and windows open:- ing into chambers closed from gun- down to sunrise during the three au- tumnal months, in fever and ague or intermittent localities, Facts About Crime. Some facts about crime in England and Wales have just been published in the Blug Book of judicial statis-- tics for 1866. Compared with the previous year, the serious: offences show a decrease, while, probably on account of more frequent application of summary jurisdiction, the minor offences disposed of by magistrates show an increase. We learn that we have 23,728 policemen, who cost us £1,827,105 ; being 478 constables and £78,647 more than the year be- ure. The criminal classes 'at large' are set down at 113,566, but of these 33,101 are of the tramp and vagrant fraternity. Those not at large are 16,708 in local prisous, 7,018 in con-- vict establishments, and 3,635 in re-- frrmatories. In Eugland aud Wales there are 20,249 houses of bad char- acter. During the year there were 50,547 indictable offences, in respect of which 27,190 persons were appre- heuded and committed. The mur- ders numbered 131, being four less than the total of 1865. The attempts to murder were 45, and there were 679 cases of shooting, stabbing, &c.: 259 cases of manslaughter, 8 of at tempts to procure miscarriage, 21 of Re eninane of birth, 155 00F un- natural offences, 257 of rape, 332 of assaults with intent, &c., 272 of as- saults and bodily harm, 207 of com- mon assault, and 164 of assaults on ¢ peace officers." There were 481, 770 persons proceeded against sum- marily, aud of these more than ofe- fourth were discharged. ° a Tt is a curicus fact that, while dn England there is one law, y every 1,240 of tho population, Prussia there is only one to every 12,000. In France there is one to 1,970, in Belgium one to 2,700. England, the number of persons b longing to the threc leading prof 34,970 lawyers, 85,483 cle! and 85,995 physicians.
