A cheerful south Toon room with a bay win- | dow full of blossoming plants; a fire glow- ing behind a burnished grate, a carpet whose velvety pile was shaded in bluesand wood colors, to correspond with the dam- ask covered furniture; and a little gilded clock which' just struck| nine at night --all these things met Mrs. Chesterton's eye as she laid down her book, and yawn- ed as widely as her ripe ny of a mouth would admit. She was a plump, fair fated young mat- ron of some four or five and twenty, with bright auburn hair, soft blue eyes, and a complexion whose roses stood in need of no artificial rouge to heighten their charm, while her dress of soft crimson was exqui- sitely adapted to semi-blonde style. "Fanny," said Mr. Chesterton, looking | | bury. up from his paper, "did you call on those | Carter's to-day?" " 1 never thought of fe. ! ' And they leave town [to-morrow morn- | ing, and Carter is absurdly sensitive to all | slights, fancied or real. (Fanny, I desired | you to make a point of galing." "Well, T did intend to, Frank," said | Mrs. Chesterton, "" but ¢ne can't think of | everything." "You cannot, it seems." "It appears to methat you are making said Fan- | "It may effect :ny business rather se- | | riously. Carrer's house carries a great in- | fluence with it," responded her husband. Mrs. Chesterton was silent, patting the velvet carpet wish hér foot in a manner that indicated some little annoyance. "1 shall have to leave here very early to-morrow morning,' presently. "To go about hs Elizabeth's will?" "Yes. "Oh, 1 wouldn't, Frank." | said her husband, "a hy not!" | © + It's such bitter cold weather to travel in; and Aunt Elizabeth is sucha whimsical | old woman, it's as likely as not that she'll change her mind about making a will when | you get there. Iwpuld wait a little while, if 1 were you." Mr. Chesterton smiled. | "That would be your system of doing | things, but not mine, Fanny," he said. "My system, Frank, what: do you | mean!" "1 mean that you believe in putting | things off indefinitely, and not always in the wisest manner. I wish you'd break me, it will some|day bring you to grief." | Mrs. Chesterton slightly | contracted hex eyebrows. "J do not believe "in being lectured, Frank" "And I don't often lecture you, my dear; pray give me some credit for that." "* You didn't think you were marrying an angel, when you married me, I hove." #* No, my love, I thought I was marry-, | ing a very pretty little 'girl, whose few faults might very easily be corrected.

And Fanny opened her novel so resolute- | ly that her husband thought it best not to | contest the question. Sitting alone in front of the bright fire, Mis. Chesterton graduallyggrew drowsy, | and before shé knew it she had drifted off | into the shadowy regions of drean- | land. She was walldutly aroused by the clock string eleven. " Dear me! Row late it ia" * she thought, with » "1 must go up stairs et we 1 forgot to tell the cook about having breakfast at five o'clock to-morrpw moriing, and of course she is abed and asleep before this time. up early enough to see to it myself, that will be just as well." » And laying this salve to her conasience, turned oft the gas, and up the stair-case. or Fanny, it's past five and the Tot. not come down stairs ef Are spoke to her last night!" oases | about speak- | ran up stairs. | just the right button somewhere in her | | work-basket, and stopped to look for it. | tle chance we had of a place in Aant | miserable habit of always being behind | valise, with a hurriedly spoken *' good- time; into the street. | "and he's gone away cross with me, ani out of the room." - ll be | wo ---- OSHAWA, ONTARIO FRIDAY, J ULY 21, 1871. rere NO. 15. | she up--she can have the --_. ready [sob which she had long been dreading and | in a few minutes."

"Well, how is Aunt Elizabeth!" ques- tioned Fanny, when her husband, duly welcomed and greeted, had seated himself Mr. Chesterton bit his Jip and checked "No need. Fanny," he said, a little bitterly. "I must leave the house in fif- teen minutes, or miss the only through train, now." . #¢1 sin so sorry, Frank." | Mr. Chesterton did not answer. He was | apparently absorbed in turning over the various articles in his bureau drawer, while Fanny sat shivering on the edge of the bed, cogitating how hard it was for her husband to start on a long journey that bitter morning without any breakfast. + "1 can make a cup of coffee myself," shé exclaimed. But Mr. Chesterton here again 'inter- posed. "Sit down, Fanny, please, 1 would rather you would sew this button on the neck of this shirt. I have packed the others--those that are fit to wear. 1 have shirts enough, but not one in repair." Fanny crimsoned when she remembered | how often in the course of the past month or two she had solemnly promised herself to devote a day or two to the much need- ed renovation of her husband's shirts. She locked around the room for her thimble. "I'll getiit in a minute." The housemaid had just kindled a fire in the sitting-room gate; it was blazing and crackling cheerily among the fresh coals, and Fanny could not resist the temptation of pausing a moment to. warm her chilled fingers, and watch the greenish purple spires of flame shoot merrily up the chimney until she heard her husband's voice calling imperatively. '*' Fanny, Fanny, what are you doing!" "Oh, dear," thought the wife, as she "I wish Frank wouldn't He is always in such a be so cross. Little Mrs. Chesterton never stopped to | think that the reason was, that she, od | wife, was never " in a hurry." The needle threaded, the thimble fitted | on, an appropriate button was next to be selected. "Oh, dear, Frank, I haven't one the | right size.' "Sew on what you have, then, but be | quick!" But Fanny was quite certain there was " Well, well, sew it on quick," said Mr. Chesterton, ' glancing at his watch ner- | vously. "That is just your worrying way, | Frank; as if anybody could sew on a but- | {ton in a hurry. There, my needle has | conte unthreaded!" « Oh, Fanny!" sighed her husband fair- | ly lout of patience at last, "why didu's you do it last night, as I begged of you! | I 'shall miss the train; and what lit- Elizabeth's will, will be sacrificed to your hand!" . Fanny gave him the shirt and began to | whimper a little, but' Mr. Chesterton had neither time nor inclination to pause to soothe her penitent manifestations of grief. He finished his dressing, caught up his bye," and ran down stairs, two steps at a ""There he goes," murmured Fanny; all for nothing but a miserable button! I wish there wasn't any such a thing. in the world!" which, we much' mis- doubt, many miata wife than Mrs. Fan- ny Chesterton had echoed, with perhaps better reason. Mrs: Chesterton was sitting down to her little dinper a la solitaire, with a nicely browned chicken, a currant jelly and a | curly bunch of celery ranged 'before her, a when, to her surprise, the door op , It's of no use to call the cook |- in the opposite easy chair. " Dead," was the brief reply. "Dead! Oh, Frank! Of her old enemy, apoplexy!" ' Yon." . 'Was her will made!" "It was. Apparently she had expected me on the day she herself appointed; and on my non-arrival in the only train that stops, she sent for the village lawyer, made her will, and left all her property to the orphan asylum, with a few bitter words to the effect that the neglect of her only liv- 'ing nephew ha! induced her, on the spur of the moment, to alter her original in- ention of leaving it to him. She died the next morning." ""Oh, Frank, how much was ir "Three thousand pounds." There was a, moment or two of silence, and then Mr. Chesterton added com- posedly: "You see, Fanny, how mnch that mis- | sing button has cost me!" Fanny Chesterton sat like orie condemn-' ed by the utterance of her own conscience. Not alone the one missing button, but the: scores--nay hundreds--of trifling omis- sions, forgetfulness and postponements, which made her life one endless endeavor to '""catch Up" with the transpiring pre- sent, seemed to present themselves to her mind's eye: © What would this end in? Was not the present lesson sufficiently mo- mentous to teach her to train herself in a different school! She rose, and came 'to her husband's side, laying one tremulous hand on his shoulder. "There shall be no more missing but- tons, my love, she said earnestly. He comprehended all that she left un- spoken, and silently pressed the little hand in his own, and not a word more than this was said upon the subject. But it was not forgotten. Fanny Ches- terton set herself resolutely to work to uproot the rank weeds growing in the gar- .| den of her life. And she succeeded, «8 we all may do when we resolve to doa wise thing.

There is no luck like pluck, and fortune most favors those who are indif- ferent to fortune. A TaLn Wepbisa, ---A wedding literally in high life came off in London on the17th of June.

New Guinea, the second largest island in the Pacific, being 1,200" miles long, with an area of 200,000 square miles, and having a trade with Holland worth $600,- 000 a year, has been added to England's possessions, by fair and hbnorable pur- chase from the Dutch. Ax old colored washerwoman who used to grone over her tubs, found consolation in the hope that '""she would soon be where robes won't need washing, and a poor creature can upset her tub and dance on the bottom of it, singing glory, hulla- baloo, forever and forever !" Her is another one of those heroes who are so common that they attract little attention. John Olvany, of Michigan City, Ind., was sailing on the lake with three friends, when the boat was capsized by a gust of wind, and as the little craft could, bear only three persons, Olvany, saying that he had no family and they had, released his hold and was drowned. Sir Philip Sidney never did anything 'half so noble as that; and yet who will remember the name of John Olvany to-morrow! JavevsvitLe, Wisconsin, is noted for its smart boys. 'The latest story is told of a youth of six summers who was taken to task by his aunt for some offence, ' which he persistently denied. *' Now, Johnnie," said she, 'I know you dré not telling me the truth: I see it in your eye." = Pulling down the lower lid of the organ that had well nigh betrayed his veracity, Johnnie exultingly replied, *' You can't tell any- thing about it, aunt ; that 'air eye' always was a little streaked." i A CLERGYMAN meeting a little boy of his acquiintancs, said: ' This is quite a stormy day, my son." *' Yes, sir," said the boy, '* this is quite a wet rain." The clergyman, thinking to rebuke such hy- peopolg, asked if hie knew of other than a wet rain. 'I never knew personally of any other," said the boy, "but I have read in a certain book of a time when it rained fire and brimstone, and I guess that was not a wet rain. » " My coMPETITOR," exclaimed a goliti- cal orator, " has told you of the service he had rendered his country during the late war. Let me tell you. that I, too, acted my humble part in that memorable con- test. When the tocsin of war summoned the loyal masses to rally to the:defence of the national flag, I, fellow citizens, anima- ted by the patriotic spirit that glows in every American bosom, hired a substitute, and the bones of that man now lie bleach- ing on the banks of the Rappahanock." News by mail tends to: confirm the cable report that sand is filling up the Suez canal, The London *' Times" prints an extract of a letter from the Captain of a screw steamer, saying that, with a draught « of only seventeen and a half "foe forward, *and twenty and half feet -aft, she grounded no less thon thirty-one times in the canal. For the last fifteen miles she was in tow of a tug with two pilots in charge, and, notwithstanding those pre- cautions and adv ges, she grounded soven times. She was three days: and nights going through the canal. It wes confid ty p licted, about the time of 4 | Buren Bates, a young American gentl man of about the lady's own age and'; height, the former of whom is 34 years, and the latter some three or four inches less than eight feet.

"Why, Frank, where on earth did. you come from! : "From the office," coolly answered Mr. Chesterton. : "And I theught you were off to your aunt's in such a hurry."

One of the cor- porations of the city being in want of a boy in their mill, a piece of paper was tacked on one of the posts; in a promin- ent place, so that the boys could see it as. they passed. The paper read: "Boy wanted---eal} at the office to- morrow morni At the time indicated, a host of boys were at the gate.

Thie boys were told to come again next. morning, and this time, when boy, who after being admitted, picked wp the stick, and throwing it at the nail, hit it every time. "How is this I" said the overseer. *" What have you been doing!" And the - boy, looking up with tears in his eyes, said: "You see, sir, I have a poor old mother; and I am a poor boy. I have no father, sir, and I thought I should like 'to get a place, and so help her all I can ; and after going home yesterday, I drove a:nail into the barn, and have been trying-ever since, and I have comie down this morning to try again."

Ir Tux New York Times states that a solid section cut from one of the original "big trees" of Calaveros county, Califor- nia, is in New York, on its way to a Euro- pean museum. Five men were employed twenty-five days in cuiting down thishuge tree; its height was 302 feet, and itslargest diameter 32 feet. The specimen was cut at a distance of 20 feet from the base. The stump is covered over, and is now used as a ballroom, being so large that thirty-two persons can dice a double eco- tillion on it, and leave room for the band and spectators.
