Sensitiveness, Joshua was fond of de- nominating this puculiarity of his, but people who knew him most thoroughly, did not hesitate to call it jerlousy and selfishness. Joshua reached the age of forty without being married. He wes suspicious of all the women he met, and consequently was no favorite among the. fair sex. But he was worth a good property, and this fact made him an object of interest among i ble women. He had paid particular attention to a great many, but had never arrived at the li of an engag t. Some imper- fection in the objects of his attention invariably came to light in season to pre- vent Joshua from committing himself. -- Twice he had nearly been lost, once to a widow, and once to an old maid, but he had drawn back just at the proper time, and was a free man when the widow Buford came to his native town, to reside with a miarried sister, Mrs. Buford was a very charming widow of thirty-five or forty, and Joshua was at- tracted to her at once. The widow was inclined, at their second meeting, to re- t that stale old Latin quotation, which ion in the mouths of stamp-speech makers and ambitious school-boys but lit- tle less than all the time since the deluge: " Peni! Veni! Vieil" For she had really conquered him, and Rging an under- standing kind of a wo she brought him to the point within two weeks. At the last moment full of fright and appre- hension, Joshua would have backed out, but the widow was resolute, and they were engaged. Three weeks afterward they were married. For the space of a week after their mar- riage, ev ing went on lovely. Mrs. Hurd was very affectionate and charming, 4 and Joshua was as proud and happy as it was possible for him to be. At the end of that time, Joshua's sus- icious disposition received a morsel to eed on. oy day, Mrs. Hurd was miss- ing from the house, and nobody knew where she was, High and: low, Joshua sought her, questioning every one he met, but receiving no satisfaction. He went, in frantic haste, around to all the neigh- bors, asking for his wife, and finding her not. He was in a terrible fever of nerv- ous dread and anxiety. He felt sure that she had eloped, just as the wives doin story books. When he reached home, Mrs. Hurd was sewing in the parlor, as easy and contented as usual. Joshua overwhelmed her with a torrent of questions, but she gave him only laugh- | | | his wife closely. And, after two weeks of the most persevering surveillance, he was able to trace her to an unoccupied chamber over the wood-shed. The door was al- ways locked, and the board shutters of the window were always closed. So there was not the slightest chance for the jealous | man to obtain a view of the inside of the chamber. He peeped through the key- hole; but the key was in the lock, quite excluding observation of the room within. He said nothing to his wife of his dis- covery, but he resolved to be quiet and relentless as the grave the next time she indulged in one of her secret night ses- sions in the chamber of the wood-house. That time soon arrived. Joshua had mado confid of two gentl friends --old b s, old bachelors who had warned him of the evil to come, when he had married the Widow Buford. They were only two glad to assist in exposing Mrs. Hurd's terrible duplicity. What her secret was Mr. Hurd could not Suet. Neither could his friends. They indulged, however, in a variety of sur- mises. Perhaps she had an admirer whom she met in that wood-shed chamber. Perhaps she belonged to a gang of counterfeiters! Mr. Hurd was sure that he had once read a novel where the heroine was a beautiful wcman, and made counterfeit money. Perhaps she was a spiritualist, and was having secret seances. Perhaps she prac- ticed the black art,and was developing her- self into a modern witch! In short what on earth could she be about, that she excluded her husband and wickedly refuse to explain to him? There was no method of getting into that chamber of secrets except through the chimney. Mr. Hurd did not want to effect a forcible entrance, because he feared in that event he should not find out his wife's secret. Mrs. Hard had boen closeted in her se- cret chamber more than a half-an-hour when Mr. Hurd's friends planted them- selves in the e-way before the lock- ed door, while Mr. Hurd climbed on a long ladder to the roof of the shed, and made pr P ion to d d the chimney. This, te reasoned, would be a most effectual and telling way of surprising his wife in her un- holy transactions. The chimney was rather small, and Mr. Hurd was not the leanest man in the world, and the consequence was, that after de- scending about eight or ten feet the aper- ture narrowed, and Mr. Hurd stuck hal | fast. Frightened half out of his senses lest he should be yhliged to remain there and per- ish, Mr. Hurd made violent efforts to ex- tricate himself; but he was very soon con- vinced that it was useless to wriggle in the expectation of getting any farther down the chimney; so he directed all his efforts to the aim of getting up. On the top of the house he disrobed him- self of all apparel except his shirt and draw- ers, and again essayed the descent. This time he was more successful than he had hoped for, or even desired, for the chimney grew suddenly wider just below the narrow place, and Joshua shot down the opening like the last kernel of corn through i 5 hopper of a grist mill, There was a small fire on the hearth, and the frantic leap given by our hero to avoid scorching his corns, scattered the coals in every direction. At the sight of the sparsely-clad, sooty apparition thus suddenly launched upon her notice, Mrs. Hurd uttered a piercing scream and fled to the door, which she un- locked in mad haste, and precipitated her- self into the very arms of Mr. tinel friends. "Wicked, misguided female!" cried Joshua, seizing her by the arm. " Confess at once or die!" - " Don't kill me!" cried Mrs. Hurd, foo much beside herself with terror to ize her husband. "I did it all to please Joshua. I wan'ed to keep his love! It was getting grey---and, oh! dear! dear! !" and she burst into a fit of passion- urd's sen- dear! ate sobbing. Getting gray!" cried Joshua, My love getting gray! The woman is insane." "" My hair!" screamed she--** it was my hair that was Jay-and I'm a young woman yet, and I dyed it. Inew my hus- band was down on make believers and I wanted to keep it from him. I.did not want him/to know I dyed,and so Ishut my self up here! Oh, dear! dear! dear!" _ . Dont Mogul!" cried Joshua, leap- ing from the floor like a very boy in his exceeding great relief. Why bless you, Susannah! You needn't have been private! I dye, too! Forgive me, Susannah, and henceforth we will dye for each other." And despite his sooty raiment, Joshua embraced his wife, and the two old bache- lors looked on with wordless disgust. Mr. and Mrs. Hurd, are a happy couple now. . They still continue to dye, but Mr. Hurd dyes Mrs. Hurd, and vice versa. tl 4 +. A -- ee FROM FAMOUS BALLADS. (From Boys and Girls Magazine.)

There was a little discussion as Helen found or await- ing replies, from which he obtained no in- a ns For two or three days, he was on the alert to question her, but Mrs. Hurd would not be questioned, and finally, Joshua gave it up. : A week went by, and the mysterious absence occurred again. This time it ex- tended over nearly all the afternoon, and Joshua's indignation reached a white heat. He had a theory, as many men have, that a wife should never do anything without telling the husband, but, like most others of his sex, he entirely forgot that "itisa poor rule that don't work both ways." - He searched "the premises very tho- roughly; he cross-questioned the hired man and his wife, and made himself ob- noxious to everybody he encountered, by a relation of his difficu'ties; but he got no light on the subject of Mrs. Hurd's mys- terious absence. al * At tea time she uiet and Pl of Jouas} who bave SONS TO EDUCATF ; Joma will hiv: anit J Address, 2a" Specimens of P all particulars sent free of charge. 8.

The bride "looked down } blush and looked up to sigh," accordin the text, and at the words *' Now # we a measure!" the pair danced away to- gether.

Again the folding-doors were closed, and again the girls waited in smiling ex tion, -- When at last the barriers slid back, a water scene was disclosed. A breadth of green carpet lay along the floor, and on it stood a small wash-tubj; in the tub sat Rowena Chase; with a clothes-stick in her hand by way of oar. A little farther back a Etsen table-cover was thrown over a couple of ott 18, to I A grassy bank. Helen came forward with her book, and began to read, -- "A chieftain to the Highlands bound, Cries, ' Boatman, do net tarry,' " and at the words appeared a ycuthful pair, --Fanny Meredith, skillfully arrayed in a plaid- blanket shawl, hurrying Nettie Chase along. Nettie was loaded down with box- es and bundles, and the chieftain himself bore a bird-cage and a band-box They approached the boatmen, and, as Helen read, they held with him in pantomime an animated parley. The chief pointed to the green bank and to the lady, while the boatmen in return dirgeted attention to the frowning aspect of the ceiling, and the dangerous roughness of the water; for the green carpet, being shaken by an attendant at each end, now began to look a gpod deal agitated. At the words, | "'Then who will cheer my bonny bride, 'When they have slain her lover? " d the pair embraced as well as they could, in view of their numérous bundles.

It was a small tub, and the garments of the three overflowed on every side into the loch. At the line, " By this the storm grew loud apace," the shakers at each end of the work- ed with energy, and the waves rolled fierce and high. A sound was now heard in the distance (i. e., in the dining-room, back of the parlors). " Adown ti wa the glen rode armed they.
