But showers beauty, e, and light, upon the brain and heart? She may not choose ancestral fame his pathway to illumeâ€" The sun that sheds the brightest day may rise from mist and gloom. Should fortune pour her welcome store, and useful gold abound, He shares it with a bounteous hand and scatters blessings round. The treasure sent is rightly spent, and serves the end designed, When held by nature’s gentleman, the good, the just, the kind. He turns not from the cheerless home, where sorrow’s ofl‘springs dwell; He’ll greet the peasant in his hutâ€"the culprit in his cell. He stays to hear the widow’s plaint of deep and mourning love, He seeks to aid her lot below, and prompt her faith above. The orphan child, the friendless one, the luckless, or the poor, Will never meet this spurning frown, or leave his bolted door; His kindred circles all mankind, his coun- try all the globeâ€" An honest name his jewelled star, and truth his ermine robe. He wisely yields his passions up to reason’s firm controlâ€" His pleasures are of crimelcss kind, and never taint the soul. He may be thrown among the gay and reckless sons of life, But will not love the reVel scene, or head the brawling strife. He wuunds'no breast with jeer or jest, yet bears no honeyed tongue ! He’s social with the gray-haired one, and merry with the young; He gravely shares the council sheech or joins the rustic game, And shines as nature’s gentleman, in every place the same. No haughty gesture marks his gait, no pompous tone his word, No studied attitude is seen, no palling nonsense heard; He’ll suit his bearing to the hourâ€"laugh, listen, learn, or teach, With joyous freedom in his mirth, and candour in his speech, He worships God with inward zeal, and serves him in each deed; He would not blame another’s faith nor have one martyr bleed; J ustiee and mercy form his code; he puts his trust in Heaven; His prayer is, “If the heart mean well, may all else be fngiven !” Though few of such may gem the earth, yet such rare gems there are, Each shining in his hallowed sphere as virtue’s polar star. _ Though human hearts too 0ft are found all gross, corrupt, and dark, Yet, yet some bosoms breathe and burn; lit by Promethean spark, There are some spirits 110ny just, unwarp- ed by pelf or pride, Great in the calm, but greater still, when dashed by adverse tide,â€" They hold the rank no king can give, no station can disgrace. Nature puts forth her gentleman, and monarchs must give place. A A TRAGEDY In MARRIED LIFE. ' 53”? Nature’ 5 Gentleman ‘Wbom do we dub as gentlemen? The knave, the fool, the bruteâ€" 1s they but own full tithe of gold and ' wear a courtly suit! The parchment scroll of titled line, the " riband at the knee, Can still suffice to ratify and grant such high degree. But nature, with a. matchless hand, sends forth her nobly born, And laughs the paltry attributes of wealth and rank to scorn; She moulds with care a. spirit rare, half _human, half divine, Continued. “And now,” said I to myself, after I had completed this retrospective survey of Dick’s doings for the last twelve months. “there, he’s off again; he’s been and done it, and no mistake. He’s going to marry some milkmaid of a girl, with blue eyes, and a smell of new hay about her. A fool belike, that will lie a-bed reading novels or poetry, and ti ash of that sort; or an artful puss that has put on simplicity and senti- mentality to hoax poor Dick; playing the angel before marriage that she may play the devil‘after it. Well, well, it’s no affair of mine, after all; hasn’t he a, right to squander old Woodenspoon’s consols and three per cents in woman- flesh as well as in railway shares? The old fellow can’t look out of his grave at his son’s speculations in the wife or the money market.” In due time, or unducwI’m sure I don’t know well which I ought to call itâ€"Dick Woodenspooon was married, I learned this fact :‘by the receipt of cards, the day after the. wedding; and in a few days after I had a letter from Dick lumself, from Brussels, full of raptures, and so forth, declaring that : his wife was an angel, and he the hap piâ€" } est of human species, and announcing furthermore, that they were making their marriage tripâ€"the Rhine, Switz- erland, and back through France. “I hope all this may last,” thought I, as I finished reading the letter, “ but I wish it had been a little less high-flown. Those raptures must come to an end, some way or other; they must either wear out the man or wear out them- selves, and thenâ€"Well, well, there’s no good in croaking; sufficient for the day is the evil thereof, and who knows but all may come right in the long run, when they settle downa bit 'I” and so I dis- missed the subject from my thoughts, and busied myself about my own pro- per business. What had 1 to do with love affairs? Time passed on, the summer was over and the term just ended. I was free for a. while, and was meditating a trip through beotland, to geologize a little, and botanize a little, and ruralize a great deal, when, just as I was stowing away my hammer, microscope, and a. few odds and ends, in the way of linen into my bag, I received a. letter with the Paris post-mark. The direction was in Dick Woodenspoon’s handwrit- ing, so I opened it immediately. ‘ not gitcrature: spend ~her ‘oommon skill ‘g’oeirsy. iâ€"Emu COOK. uttbmun. . He grasped my hand, and wept like .a. child. Dick gave a sigh so loud, so deep, so long, that I thought he must have ex- pelled every atom of air out of his body and I almost expected (such ludicrous thoughts will sometimes force them- selves upon the mind, even during the gravest moments) to see his chest col- lapse, like one of those paper bags which little boys crush together for the fun of driving the air out with a report. By degrees he became compOSed, and between coaxing and admonishing, I got the whole story of his misfortunes out of him. Nothing, it seemed, could exceed the felicity of the young:couple for the first few weeks of their married life. Lucy was all that Dick’s heart could desire; she lived for him aloneâ€" she saw through his eyesâ€"she heard through his ears. Like Petruchio’s Catherine, she would have said of any object in natureâ€" _â€"“Be it moon, or sun, or what you “For God’s sake, my dear fellow, com- pose yourself, and tell me all; let me knoW the worstâ€"I will never desert you.” “Come, come, Dick, this will never do; be a. man, and bear your fate, what- ever it be, like a. man. Open your whole heart to me; you know I can neither advise nor comfort you unless you do so.” “Oh! Caleb, my friend, I am the most unfortunate of human beings; a deceived and dishonored husbandâ€"an outcast from societyâ€"a wanderer on the face of the earth. Caleb, do not loathe me, do not spurn me; I am aâ€" MURDERER I” please ; And if you please to call it a rush candle, Henceforth I vow it shall be so for me.” Had he said the Jungfrau was a lake she would have expatiated upon its depth and darkness. She would have pronounced the falls of Shafi'hausen a forest of pines at his bidding, and the roar of its waters the song of the nightingale. And so they went on, loving and roving through the length and breadth of the land, like a pair of silly turtle-doves. But I will relate the rest in Dick’s own words: “We had reached Geneva on our return homeward. Here we entered somewhat into society, less to please myself than to gratify my wife. W'e went to {petâ€" tac/cs; to concerts, which she enjoyed amazingly; we even attended one of the balls, and Lucy danced with a young Germanâ€"a broad-shouldered fellow, with blue eyes, a light beard, and long yellow locks that fell down upon his neck. He seemed quite (1971's with her, and she, Caleb, seemed to me to receive his attentions with more complacency than I thought was becoming. I was hurt, and somewhat cool in my manner to her; she was sad and dejected. I said nothing on the subject; but I left . Geneva the following day, and proceed- ed to Lyons. We were scarcely seated at the table d’fiote when who should sit down beside her but the same German fellow. I returned his cordial saluta- tion with reserve and coldness. He turned from me, and addressed himself to her. She was evidently embarrass- ed. The dinner was at length endedâ€" I thought it would never come to a close. I hurried her away as soon as I ‘ could rise with decency. I spoke to her . very gently, but expressed very decid- edly my disapprobafion of those Con- tinental freedoms. She made no reply but the tears came in her eyes, and she looked at me sorrowfully and even up- braidingly. From that moment we were ill at ease with each other. Our intercourse lost all its charm. we left Lyons. I was moodyâ€"she was melan- choly; and more than once I surprised her in tears. We stopped at Chalons- sur-Soane. I liked the place, and took a. pretty little retired cottage on the banks of the river, intending to pass a few weeks there in retirement, if not in tranquility. In this sweet seclusion He smote his brow wildly with his open palm, and sank upon a. chair, over- c0me with his emotions. I was thunder- struckâ€"hormfied, almost unmanned. ness. Now that I tell you I am the most miserable of men, will you not fly to comfort and sustain me ?: RICHARD \VOODENSPOON.” I was greatly shocked at this com- munication. Its vagueness was a thousandfoldmore painful-than anym- cital'of the real facts of the case could be. I tortured myself with a thousand conjectures, but to no purpose. The only conclusion to which I arrived, with any degree of confidence, was, that‘ nis misfortune was of a matrimonial nature. I lost no time 1n setting off {01 Paris, and found myself the next day in my friend’s apartment. Poor Dick flung himself into my arms in an agony of grief that was quite alarming. “Paris, Hotel de Lisle et Albion, V Rue St. Honore. “MY DEAR CALEBâ€"My dream of happiness is over, and I have awakened to the reality of wretchedness. I can not command my feelings sufficiently to write to you the details of my affliction. Come to me my dearest friend; come to me, without a. moment’s delay. When last we met you promised me that, when I should write to you that I was happy you would come and witness my happi- I was regaining my peace of mind, and Lucy was becoming more like her forâ€" mer self. One day I went into the town, and passing by the principal ho- tel, I saw a young man lolling at the open window, smoking a meerchaum half a yard long; he had a red velvet cap, with a gold tassel, on his head. I looked at himâ€"I could not be mistak- en in the blue eyes, yellow locks, and light-brown mustacheâ€"yes, Caleb, it was that infernal German. I proceed- ed on my way homoward, meditating gloomily upon this ill-omened reccontre. What could have brought him to Chal- ons ’2 what brought him to Lyons? Was there no other route in the wide continent of Europe for him to choose but that which my wife and I were traveling? When I reached our cottage I was tHoroughly out of humor. LuEy perceived my chagrin, and endeavored to cheer me. I repelled her overtures. fore I proceeded homeward, so that the sun had set some time before I reached my cottage gate. I remember how sweet and tranquil the scene looked in the dim twilight. The low window of the sitting-room was open, for it was a warm evening, but there was no light Within it. I was close up to it upon the soft close-shaved grass, whenI heard the voice of my wifeâ€" “ ‘At this hour, then, to-morrow,’ “At the same moment I beheld, by the fading light, my Wife seated in a faulcuz'l, and at her feet, kneeling upon one kneeâ€"a man! The blood rushed up into my head, my eyes swamâ€"I staggered; but the devil prompted me to take vengeance. I raised my gun, and fired at the villain. The man fell; my Wife uttered a loud shriek, and, springing up, her eyes met mine; she recognized me, and fell to the ground. I rushed from the spot, and found my- self in the town, I know not how. I hurried to the railway station, a train was just about to start for Paris; I took my ticket, flung myself into a carriage which fortunately was vacant, and traveled hither through that miserable night. What I have endured since I cannot describe to you. My sole occu- pation is to brood over my sorrow, to curse my destiny. I hav e not the cour- ?age to look at a journal, though racked by anxiety and fear; for I dreadto read the disclosure of my hishonor and my crime.” Before an hour had elapsed I was on my way to Chalons. The result of my conference with my unhappy friend was the determination to visit the scene of his misfortune, to see his wretched wife if possible, to investigate the whole affair, and to be guided by the issue as to my subsequent proceedings. The following morning I was at the door of Woodenspoon’s cottage. It was open- ed by a rosy-faced country-girl. “Can madam be seen 'I” I demanded. The girl hesitated. “Take this toher,” said I, giving her my card, “and tell her that I entreat her to see me upon important business}: lWe sat down to dinner, and scarcely ‘interchanged a. word. We walked in the evening along the bank of the river. I believe I should have walked all night so fully was I engrossed with my pain- ful thoughts, had not my wife at length complained of fatigue, and we return ed. Next morning after breakfast I proposed that she should accompany me to the chateau of a neighboring gentleman, who had invited me to join in a day’s shooting. To my surprise and annoyance she declined, for the first time in her life, to accede te my re- quest, excusing herself on the plea of a headache, or a swelled foot, or someâ€" of that sort. I had promised my friend to meet him that day, soItookmygun In a. short tune the‘girl returned and led me into the saloon; in a. moment after the door was hurriedly opened, and a lady tottered forward. Her face was pale as death, and her eyelids red and swollen from weeping. I looked at the woman that now sat tremblingly beside me. She was not; only very pretty, but very prepossessing in appearance. “ So young, so fair, so artless-looking, can it be that she has thus gone astray 2” Such were my reflections as I regarded her in silence. My heart was softened toward her, de- spite of myself. __ _ 1 - I 3,AJ-_L.._A “011, Mr. Chubble,” cried she, seizing my hand, “you come from my husband -â€"-I know you doâ€"you are his dearest friend. \Vherc is he '2 where is he?” “I do come from your husband, madam,” I said, very gravely; “but be- fore I givc you any further information I must first trouble you to answer a few questions. Pray be seated.” â€"__ _-A_ rrielif you hofie thati can effect any good in this unhappy aflhir. Your hus- band has told me all.” “Oh, Sir, he has not told you all: he could not, for he does not know all. I will reserve nothing from you, as you are his friend. When you have heard all, you will surely pity me. Olll'I am most wretched !” “Madam,” I resumed, m a kinder tune “you must be perfectly unreserved with IT_ AL _ _. ” And-‘tiafiéfipoor thing did tell me allâ€"her whole married lifeâ€"”mgr trilals â€"â€"her temptationsâ€"her strugglesâ€"her failingsâ€"and I listened to her with moistened eyes, I am not ashamed to confess it ; and I did pity her with my whole heart, and I told her so when she had concluded her sad story. “It is indeed very terrible,” I said taking her poor tremeng hand ; “a dreadful lesson of the consequences of giving way to the solicitations of pas- sion.” “Oh, Mr. Chubble, call it by its right name â€"â€"it was madness! \\ ould to heaven that I had accompanied him that day, or “Well let us consider what is best to be do me. The matter may admit of some arrangement.” We continued to talk for some time anxiously, and I arranged my plans, and left the lrdy, promising to call again in the course of the day. At noon the same day I sat in a pri- vate room of the principal hotel at Cha- lons, in conversation with a young man whom I met there by appointment The matter under discussion between us required some tact on my part, and I flatter myself that I ultimately ar- ranged it to the satisfaction of both parties. At length our conference was ended, and we arose. - - .. .. ' “ You agree then Monsieur,” said I “to the tcmls as I have w-itten them down.” “I do, Monsieur.” . “Will you be so good, then, as to srgn this paper.” “ Certainly, Monsieur.” And the young man did so. “I rely, then, upon your observing them faithfully,” and I stretched out my hand.

In our climate the temperature may range during a. single yazr through 130 degs. in the shade, though a range of more than 110 degs. isunusunL Our food requirements in sum- mer difler from those in winter. One of the chief use: of food is to produce heat within our bodies, for heat is as much an essential partofusas is muscle, nerve or bone. A variation of a few degrees of animal hat either way is fatal. The temperanire of the humanbodyinastateofhealth isthe same the world overâ€"in Greenland and at the equator. Animal heat is generated within the body by wonderful chemical processes, from the raw material furnished by food. Katine within us and nature without us work together herein. Some foods merely generate heat; others nourish, or furnish force. Within four-andâ€"twenty hours I was again in Paris, in the same hotel at which Dick was stopping. where I took a snug sitting-room, wiih a bedroom inside of it. I despatched a line to him, requesting his presence numero dz’xlzuz't. Dick came immediately, and I was shocked to see how much he was changed .for the worse, even in the short interval since I left him. His first question naturally enough, about the homicide. “ Is he dead, Caleb i” “ N0.” Nowanunvitiated appetite mvesandreâ€" jects,acoox’ding to themed. TheGreen- lnnder craves heat produdng fat, but food into which fat largely enters is unsuited to summer. Sugar, also, ismainlya heat pro- ducer; therefore cam and sauces, rich in sugar and fat, are mischievous in the hot months. The system, already weakened by the hat without, is further heated by the heat elaborated within, and is still further weakened and rendered susceptible to disease by its inability to assimilate what may have been digested. This throwsexhzmsting work on the eliminating organs. Here again we see the harmony of nature within and without In summer the normal taste is for the fresh vegetables, inwhich natureisthensolavish. Mostotthese vegetables have little heating property. Moreover, they abound in water. which the system then demands Again. cold is a tonic, and long continued heat a depressnt. In winter digestion is more vigorous, and this makes the appetite better. In summer, therefore, our food must be lam in quantity. Indeed, quantitythen tellsmore unfavorably on healththan does quality. The getting rid of waste keeps the eliminating organs at a. high and dangerous tension, and that, too, when weakened by climatic conditions. Yet many persons eat the same in summer as in winter, and spur their feeble appetites with various stimu- lants. It is not wonderful that, when the laws of health are thus disregarded, the season is pie-eminently the sickly one, al- though somuch life inthe open airshould make it a healthy one. “Ay,” thought I, as I bowed him out, “I have something more binding to rely upon than you: word of Izomr. W ell, now {or the cottage once more.” Food includes waxergnd water constitutes the larger part of the body. It isalso the solvent both of food and waste. By its evaporation on the surface the bodily tem- perature is kept at. its proper point. Hence it should he drank freelyin summerâ€"but not ioedâ€"Youth’s_Companlon. “Timothy Timmb” had just come out with his “Gold Foil,” and I, too, began to hammer at the old proverb: “Get thy spindle and thy distafl! ready, and God will sendthee One night I got my desk in orderâ€"pen, paper, clippings, letters, everything. The next morning, two hours before the usual time of rising, I thought of my “spindle and my distafl" waiting, and I hurried up, and out into the fresh spring morning. For five minutes, perhaps, I stood around the dew laden porches, and then went in for nmcker and a. glass of milk, and was needy for find- ing my “flax.” Going fasting tomy desk, ortakingeven a. shortwalkassoonas I was up, always ro- tarded my work, and a headache or early exhaustion was the consequence. The history of this morning is the history of every morning for a yam The old habit washardtobreak, but I was determinedto get rid of it, and every morning I compelled myself to write something original; to write it with care and painstaln'ng, endeavoring to concentrate my thought upon it. Often the style was bad, being uneven and “jerky,” and the matter was even worse, from half {crud ideas, yet I found that copying a few page?“ some good author the evening be- fore improved the style, and putting theidea. on paper often introduced it as a. personal thing which I could see and handle. 0! course, much of the work of those first morn~ ings was gathered up carefully and con- signed to the stove, but the habit of waiting for “moods” soon showed unmistakable signs of being broken up: and, after a few months, I was delighted to find that whenever I came to my desk in the morning my flax was waiting for the distafl. Afterward, when I took up editorial work, or became, as Horace Greeley oncecalled himself, “amulitorial hack,” my copy was not always a day or two behindtime because I had to wait until I felt like writing. For many years now I have been engaged in other work, writing only occasionally, and again 1 have formed the habit of hanging on the skirts of “moods ;” but I am convinced that it is not a nem'ythingtowait for inspiration, and, too, that the more we wait, the more we may waitâ€"E.

This same letter book system is also excellent for preserving a copy of any manuscripts against the chance of their loss by mail, and if it is faithfully kept up, the writer hashis literary life and progress all “printed in a book,”to hand down to his children’s children. â€" “J.
