I first met Spangle at a country fair, We were ifitroduced to each other about ten o'clock in the morn-- ing, and if you will believe me, { did dot get a chance to speak to any other gentleman that day. I never saw a fellow so strack at first sight. I don't think he saw a horse, or in fact anvthing that was on exhibition that day but me, al'hoogh there were present many of the most henv- accomplisned youne Iadia.. Betion of the conntry, As hegwas extremely good looking, of good family, and of unexceptional habits and character, I, of ceurse, felt flattered by his marked prefer- ence. Thad to take him to dinner, and introduce him to pa and ma, and the whole family. He made a good impression, In fact Spangle caf shine when he tries. I remember the fact with pride. Well, it is the old story, He became infatuated, and obtained my permission to visit me at ny home and spend a day there in just two weeks fiom the day we met Daring th se two weeks, I received daily long letters from Simon, closely written and cross written. At length the day. of his visit arrived, and lo and behold, the servant girl awoke me in the morning with the pleasant information that Spangle was wait - ig for mein the parlor. Here was a lover for you. MARRIAGE AND HONEYMOON. Well, well As 1 said before, it was the oil story ever recurring, ever sweetly told, and ev r listened to by willing ears. Suffice it to say that from that day I saw no peace antil I became Mra. Spangle. Our honey moon was, T suprose, like ali honeymoons, short and d-licious, THE REALITIES OF LIFE. And then came the wealities of life. It-is my belief that this is the most trying pe iod in a woman's life, when she enters upon the actualities of life she has disclosed to her a state of facts of which she has little or no conception before marring>. When she leaves an atmosphere of romance and adalation and enters upon the realities of life, it is like stepping out of a garden of summer flowers into the regions of perpetual winter, | and unless she brings all her sense and philosophy to her aid her affec - tions become chilled, and she will regord herself a disappointed, if not a deceived woman for the balance of her life. It ia the hope thatonr ex-- perience may be of some benefit to voung wives, that induces me to re- veal some of the domestic incidents infelicities ot twelve years of martied life. After our brief holiday, Spangle-- to use his own expression--took a tilt at the world, determin:d to wrest rom it not only a competenee, but a itder. | fortune that would place 'me in the first beatific attitude to be obtained by opulence. . : The dear fellow did york hard, and if he met with obstacles, and difficulties, and trials, world t never knew it, He resin them] for his fireside, and, althongh he did | not accuse me as the cause, yet he reconnted them in a tone and manner so diffrent from the joyous and) hnoyant language of conrtship, that 1 could but feel T was in some way or other accountable for his troubles. | Although I never seriously doubted | his love for me, yet he certainly per: mitted many excellent opportunities for manifi-sting it 10 pass snimproved Before we were married, he seemed AND NORTH O SSE] ee e-------------------- ' «Foxtremes are generally { name, like that of the I often grie at his appareuteoldness, and we ask him twenty (im 8 day if he ald not love me.

Yes, girls, when yon husbands they will expect you know it, and my advice .to you that you get all the courting ya want before you are married, for after that even what little courting is done in the family will have to be dene by the wife, a SPANGLE AS A FATHER. We have nix children, all beautifa! and gond. Spangle takes great pride in them,nn] growls at them like a dear old bear. Yon mnet nant think that Spangle regards the new comers as burdens Quite the re- verse, He goes on in ccstacies over each one ; dilates upon its beaaties and perfection for five minutes, and then seems to think it isto be laid away to grow up, ang be no more trouble t. him until they want to marry. Il one of them has the belly ache and cries at night, Spangle| thinks that the pain is a special hard: ship to him, because it keeps him awake afew minutes. The fact ix undeniable that the bes: men u¥e selfish brutes as far as babies are concerned. i weeny ¢ SPANGLE AT Hop 2ut the = Theories of Dreams.

This wbaord idea was subsequently adopt +d and amp'ificdd by Lucretius, ¢ In the Tveutrce on Dreams, com- monly. attributed to Hoppocrates, which, althdugh its authenticity is disputed by the late Dr. Adams, is of unquestionable antiquity, being qno- ted by Galen, we fin > rr of the opinion of the early Greek physicians on the snlject : ¢ When the'body is at rest, the soul, being then in a state of movement, steals over the organs of the body, manages its own abode, and iteclf performs dl the actions of the body; for the body being asleep does not perceive, hut the soul, being awake, beholds what is visible, hears what is audi- ble, walks, is grieved, reflacts, and, in & word, whatever the offices of thelsoul and tody are, all these the soul performs in sleep.

' Stormy Sabbaths. BY REV. THEO L CUYLER, IN T E NEW YORK ¢ INDEPENDENT." After twenty years of pastoral experience, 1 have come to divide all' church-members into two classes-- fair weather christians, and storm proof christians, -- This division holds rood through all the routine of reli gious life. The first class is com-- posed Of those who rarely practice any self denial for Christ. They not only dread a storm of rain or snow, hut a storm of reproach or unpopn-- larity. They are capital soldiers on parade days, bat are not worth a rush before the eannon's month, They are lond in profession before a battle, and lond in exnltation after a victory, but during the fight they are always missing. Demas is the re- presantative apostle of this cluss, as Paul is the representative of the storm proof disciples. Fair-weather christians ave of no possible use, except to shame better men inte better conduct, Commend me to the christian who, when the Sabbath bell rings, "con- sults his conscience rather than the barometer.---Commend me to th follower of Jesus who chooses death! or defeat rather than desertion, Com- mend me to him who, when duty] sounds her trumpet, is always ready to answer, ¢ Lord, what wilt thon have me to do? He is Cl : minute man -- When at lagt the seuger of Death shall call the this man shall calmly aud 'pr answer, Herel And after be gore to his heavenly reward, gallant Hugnenot eaptain, shall bo kept the roll of ls he ever it is called, some comrade in the faith shall step forth and respond, God + Died on the battle field" In days of self-indalgence, may send us more religion that § proof! , for the recovery of his wisdom." Galen tells up that Bscn- lapius was supposed to assist the sick dn dreams, and that in them he wointed out the proper remedy fo Ldntever disease the pati-nt might suffer from. ¢ Speaking of the nse of dreams, Jumblicus says; And bodies, indeed, that are diseased it heals; but pro- erly disposes such things as subsist mong med erroneously and disorder iy.

Hecodinn tells os that Autoning being ill, "hastened 10 Pergamus, in Asia, with intent to apply to Ascalapins health, and there amnsed himself with dreams." ¢ Plato's theory ou this subject was, that dreams caused by demons or spirits, which he innagined filled the earth and air; and that some of these spirits being of good, and others of evil natures. give rise to corresponding dreams." Wild and fanciful as this idea is, it is not a little strange to see it advocated by a very sober Scotch philosopher of the seventeenth century, with some slight modification. * Our dreams,' says Mr. Baxter, ' are promoted by separated immaterial beings." And again he argnes that * these bodies lie in wait for, and catch the opportunity of the body to represent ut the same time, something tright- fal to the mind.' ¢* More rational than the last qno- ted speculation was Aristotle's opini- on, which, in reality, differs very little from that supported by modern metaphysicians. He says that every visible objoet makes &n impression on the mind, but that this impression may remain in a latent condition until it be calied into active exist- ence daring sleep, by motions in the brain, commencing before slumber, has ocenrred, but continuing to 'operate in sleep, and gave rise to a dream, which is a phantasma or ap-- pearance of a thing, aller the object itaedf 18 removed. 4 Persons of radical integrity will nou easily be preverted in their dreams; nor noble minds do pitifal things in sleep?

As they are influenced by our prevailing inclinations, so they may help us to form a right estimate of our own es- tinate of our own characters; and assuredly it would be presumptuous to say they may not answer some still further purpose in the economy of percipient and thinking beings' Thomas Hobbs, of Malmesbury says: ¢ Dreams are in the imagination of them that sleep, There is a recipro- ention of motion from the brain to the vital parts, and back from the vital parts to the brain; whereby not ouly imagination begetteth motion in these parts, bat al o motion wn 'like to that by which it was begot- ten?

Ready to meet her death, she lay down on her bed and slept. She was atill sleeping when it was announced to her that a priest was there, ready to meet her, if she want- ed to confess. But Marie Antoinette had already unveiled her heart before God ; she wanted none of those priests of treason whom the republic had appointed after it had banished or guillotined the priests of the Church. ¢ As I am not mistress of my own will,' she had writen to her sister Elizabeth, 'I shall have to submit if a priest is brought me ; but I solemn- ly declare that I shall not speak a word to him, and that I shall treat him as a person with whom I wish to have no relations.' And Marie Antoinette kept her word ; she did vot refuse to allow Geroid to enter ; but when he asked her if she wished to receive the con- solations of religion from him, she declined. Then, in order to warm her feet, she walked vp and down her little room, As it struck seven the door opened. It was Samson, the publie executioner, who entered | A slight thrill passed through the form of the Queen. * You have come very early, sir ; cou'd you not delay alittle When Samson denied her request, Marie Antoinette put on her calm), cold manner. She drank with ont resistance, a cup of 'chocolate which was brought to her, she re- mained possessed, and wore her wanted air of dignity as they bound her hands behind ber with thick cords. At about eleven o'clock she loft the room, passed tiarongh the corri- or, and ascended tlie car, which was waiting for her before the prison door, No one accompanied her, no one bade her a last farewell, not a look of pity or compassion was be- stewed upan her by her keepers. Aloue, between the rows of gems d' armes that were placed along the sides of the corridor, Samson walking behind her, carrying the end of the rope with which the Queen's hands were bound, and behind him his two assistants and the priest. This Is execution | 2 It may be that at this hour thon. sands are on their knees, offering their fervent prayers to God in be- half of Marie Aatoinette, whom, in their hearts, they continued to call 'tie Queen' it may be that thon- sands are pouring out tears of affec- tion for her who now monunts the wretched car, and sits down on the oard which is bound by ropes to sides of the vehicles. But those who' ae praying and weeping have with- dawn to the solitade of their own apartments, and only God can see their tears and hear their cries The eyes which witnessed the Queen in this last drive were not allowed to shed a tear ; the words followed her on ber last way could express no compassion, All Paris knew the hour of the execution, and the people were ready to witness it. On the streets, at the windows, on the roofs, immense masses had congregated, and the whole Place de la Revolution (now the Place de la Concorde) was filled with a dark, surging crowd. And now the drums of the guards stationed before the Conciergerie began to beat. = The great white hoise (which drew the car in which the queen sat, side by side with the priest, and facing backward) was driven forward by a mun why wus upon his back Behind Marie Antoi ne te were Samwon and his as-istants, The queen was pale, all the blood had left her cheeks und lips, but her eves were red! Poor queen, she bore even the marks of much weeping ! But «he could shed po tears then! Not a single one obseurcd her eye as her lok ranged, gravely anl calmly, over the mass, up the houses to the very roofs, then slowly down, and then away over the boundicss sea of human faces. Her face was as cold and grave as her eyes, her lips were firmly com- pressed, not a quiver betrayed whether she was suffering, and whether she shrank from the thous- and and ten 'honsand scornful looks which were fixed upon her. And Marie Aatoinette saw it alll She saw a woman ra se a child, she saw | the child throw her a kiss with its Ittle hand! At that she gave wav for an instant, her lips quiverd, her eyes were durkenrd with a teard This solitary sign of human sympathy reanimated the heart of the queen. and gave hera little fresh hfe. ~=But the p op'e took gd enre that M.fie Antoiaette shonld not carry this one drop of comfort to the end of her jouriey.

A Cuever Trick.--An oid crofter within & few miles of Fort William happened to be frequently bothered by horses trespassing upon his land during the night, and as might be expected felt much annoyed at such a state cf matter. He accordingly %esolved to put a stop to it and for- tune seemed to favor him, for he discovered a horse on the night of Saturday last, loxuriating amongst iis fine oats. He got hold of the horses tether(which he found was his own property), and finding it to be a quiet animal he led it out of his ground in the old Highland fashion, that is, he walked in front, both hands behind his back holding the tether, dragging the horse after him. His intention was to lodge his prize in livery at the owners expense. The latter, however, was an interested spectator of the proceedings, which he evidently disliked, and he made up his mind to extricate himself and his horse from their awful predic. ment. He accordingly crept quietly up to the horse, which was walking at the old man's back, untied the tether off the horse's head, he himself jogged on at tie worthy crofter's back holding the tether, und inspir- ed by the ' gee ups,' co ne on. horse, and sundry other coaxing and en- |, dearing phrases bestowed opon horses--the awner now and then |, giving a tug or pull ag the horse would do.

A governol of u Chinese province was taken very ill, und refused to admit any visitors into his house This being told a mandariag of his acquaintance, the latter was very much conc: rned, ard after many importunities, obtained an interview with him. On his entiance he was surprised to find no signs of sickness in his friend and asked what was the matter with him. The gov- eruor at length told him that he had lost the Fmper rs seal out of the cabinet where it used to be kept,and that as the lock remained uninjured he was sensible that the seal was stolen. Of course he could transact no business and must soon be de- prived of his government and prob.- p'y of his life. The mandarian in- quired if he had any enemy in the city. 'I'he other answered, Yes : and that enemy was an officer of rank, whom he had offended and who was dis- posed to do him an injury. Away then, replied the mandarian j let your valuable property be secretly rem.v ed this evening jet fi e to the empty louse ad call out for help, to whicn this offizer must of negessity repair with the rest, it being one of the principal duties of his situation. As soon as you see him amongst the people, deliver him, in the public] presence, thie eabinet, shut as itis, that it may be secured in his posses- sion. If he is the thief, he will put the seal in its place; otherwise the fault will lie npon him for having taken so littlecare of it.
