Up and Down-

This is a oimplo song, ' t is true-^-My songs are never over nice,—

And yet I'll try and scatter through A little pinch of good advice*

Tiien listen, pompous friend, and learn To ne^er boast of much renown,

For fortune's wheel is on the turn, And sorxe go up and some come down.

I know a vast amount of stocks A vast amount of pride insures!

But late has picked so many looks I wouldn't like to warrant yours* g

Remember then and never spurn The one whose hand is hard and brown.

For he is likely to go up, And you are likely to come down.

Another thing you will agree, (The truth may be aa well confessed,)

That -'Codfish Aristocracy" la but a scaly thing at best.

And Madame in her robe of lace, And Bridget in her faded gown,

Both represent a goodly race, From lather Adam handed down.

Lite is uncertain—lull of ehange ;, Little wo have that will endure ;

And 'twere a doctrine new and strange That places high are most secure ; i ^

And if the fickle goddess smile; Yielding the sceptre and the crown,

Tjaouly fur a little while. Then B; goes up and A. comes down.

Tbia woild, for all of us, my friend Hath soaiufL-iag more than pounds and

peace ? Taea let ma humbly r eoemmsad , „ A little mi of oona-moa sense.

Thus lay all pride and place aside, And have a care on whom you frowns

For fear you'll see h irp going up, When you are only earning down.

It is called the Horton Fire Box, We can not explain it hercj but shall be happy to show the stove to any and all who will call on us. As a fuel saver, it places the Imperial far ahead of any and all other cook stoves in the market. We mean what we say. Call and see.

B. S. STONE & CO. Some dealers will under­take to toll you that the Imperial is not a first-class stove; They say this be­cause we sell it $5 to $10 less than any other first-class stove, of the same size and weight, is sold.

all the mere eshiierating, and just the day and occasion to m<tke one's spirits exuberant and nappj.

She was nineteen and I was mae-and-tbirty. She was a? beautiful as a rOsa bud ; I was a rough old codger, sound enough at heart, but like a winter applo, Unpromising on the exte­rior.

In short, we were as unlike as May and Novemer ; and the good natured world shook its head, and said, "No good could come out of such an unequal match.' But she said she loved me, and I believed her. Nobody could look into Clara's blue eyes and not be­lieve her, yon see.

The nest day I made a will and bequeathed all my property unconditionally to my wife.

'Are you sure you are doing a wise thing, Mr. Fol l io t V said Mr MardyUj the l a w y e r , push- -j ing his blue spectacles up on his forehead, un­til he looked like an old bald £ name, with a double pair of eyes. 'You see she is very much youoger than yourself, and—'

'Please be so Mod as to mind your own bus­iness V said I brusquely.— 'Don't be offended Mardyn,but really people Eeem to suppose that I am not able to attend to my owa af­fairs.'

'Just as you please,' said Mardyn in a rage. •I am a mere tool in your hands.'

•That's it, exactly,.' said I. So I signed the Will and went Lome to Clara;

c0h, Paul 1 you must not die 1' aaid Clara, with a eacred louk, when I told her what I had done. 'Nobody ever loved me as truly as you bavo douo, and l don't know what I fch-ould do you '-rcic taUen away.'

'Tkere was »• jouug Blrmiu^ham, if all re* ports are true—' 'I mischievously began ; but the curl on Claia's lip stopped me.

«A mere buUorfly S she sighed baaghtily. 'without either brains or prinolpie. Paall Paul t I have found a.ehslter ia your-true lov­ing heart, and 1 moan to nestle Sbere always.'

And then she eriod—this foolish, soft-heart­ed tittle wile of mine-

Jones and Tewksbury aiight have called-this policy. Farnum would have said it was acting; But it was very pleasant; and I felt more than ever like a man who had found some preeious jewel and wears it Jike an amulet la his breast.

So things went on until the firm of which I was managing partner needed to send to Cal­cutta, to see after a turbaned scoundrel of an a^eut who had absconded with more money than we could well afford to lose. Morrison

lighted, poor little girl. And then a cold ehill seemed to creep throng all my veins, like No­vember winds suddenly breathing across a bed of flowers.

Clara had heard nothing of me for ntarly Qf teen months. What might have happened in that time ? All that Tewksberry and Jones and Allen and all other prophetic ravens of my acquaintance had said, recurred to my mind like the burden of an uneasy dream. I had been counting the hours and the very minutee, until we could touch port; but now that my feet rang once more upon the pavement of my native city, I actually dared not go borne 1 I turned into a down town restaurant, where i f had been wont to go in days of my bachelor" hood, and slunk into that dark corner. The twilight was just falling, and I was sheltered by the partition. Hush I That was Tewksbury'e voice—harsh- and jarring as of old.

'Just what might have been expected,' said Tewksbery. 'Pretty and young widows don't go begging in this market I' 3ji£9S

'Folliotjmight have known it! ' growled old Farnum. Poor Eolliot 1 There was some good points about him, too. Sad thing that, very sad thing!'

'We must all die,' said Tewksbury grave­ly. •* Si'Tsa, but a fellow would naturally prefer dy­ing in his bed to be carried off by an east In­dian fever and hurried ia the jungles.'

I shuddered. Had I come home to my own funeral as it were ?'

'And she is going to marry young Birming­ham, after all F added Farnum.

The paper dropped from my band. 'I could have told Folliot BO when I found

what a confounded idiotic will he had made,' said Tewksbury. 'So gold has fallen again» Just my luek ; I sold out to day.

I staid to hear no more, but staggered out into lh.8 darkness with one idea whirling thru my dizzy brain-^my Clara was mine no long­er.

It was questionable what Tewksbury had f said. I might have anticipated some such * etd. She was too young, too lovely, for such a rough § feliow as I was. 'My widow !' what a curiotis sensation the words gave as I mentally prc« nounced them.

Under my own windows, with the ruby red light shining through the wine-colored dumaslj ear5ains,I stood there feeling aa Rip Van Win­kle might have felt in the play—like a dead man walking on the earth once more. Voices and lights were within. I opened the doori softly and crept into the hall. The drawing room door was ajar. Clara, herself stood be­fore the fire, with a frill white crape on her auburn gold tresses^-the awful sign of her widowhood.' Directly opposite stood Hats ry Birmingham looking diabolically young and handsome In the soft light.

'Ciara!' Clara !' h cried, 'you are surely uot iqearnest. You will reconsider.

'My answer i-i final..' she replied. 'The time might once hu^ebeea when I had a childieh liking for you, Harr? Birmingion. But that time has long since passed away. I guve my heart to the best and noblert man that ever breathed, Paul Folliot, and in bis grave it is forever buried. 1 loved hini onoe ; I bball love on into eternity : I never was halt worthy ol him, b u W

And Clara's Voice was choked with sote. My love ? my darling 1 my own precious

wife I How I ever got into the room—how I man­

aged to make Clara comprehend that I was my owa living self aad not a ghost arisen from the shadow of the sepuleber, 1 cannot tell to this day. Neither can she. But I know that young Birmingham somehow •disappeared, and I was standing with Clara claBped to my breast the happiest man that ever breathed God's blessed air.

For Jones, Tewksbury, Farnum & CO. were all wrong; and, to use the Words of the or­thodox fairy stories, slightly paraphrased, 1 and my widow 'dived happy ever afterward,'

Without tfce Newspaper i

A correspondent of the Woodstock Patriot j writing of Ms voyage across the Atlantis, says:

One of the features of sea voyage wMcIi it is very"difficult for a landsman to accaitom himself to, is the entire absence of^sllnew* from the outside world. Accustomed as we are to have our dafly paper on oar tails every morning, and to glanoe over the news that untiring correspondents have gleaned from every part of the world, it seems a strange deprivation to pass day after day in entire ignorance of whatever is tianspiringamong the busy haunts of men.

Then there Is no postofflce to go to two or three limes every day; -no letters to he receiv­ed from friends and kindred. The ship'a com* pany is, for the time being, a comnmmty apart T»y itself, and it has to live as It were in a world of its own* Yet even iiere there are advantages to offset these inconveniences. The •peculator can rest for a white, With no gold speculations to perplex and anno j him. We are for a season out of the reach of the tele* graph, where no gloomy, worrying dfrpatchee can ferret as oat.

The letters that await Us at our journey'a end are read with a hungering delight and enjoyment such as we do not feet at other timeF: With an appetite sharpened by absti­nence, we eagerly glance over the files of newspapers, and We learn to appreciate hsilr much we are indebted to the Press lor a large •bare of our enjoyment and instruction.

I have spokes of the social spirit which man* ifestsitself among the passengers.. Bat toward the end of the voyage one finds that, there is also another aspect of the subject under the working of the same social law—we cluster into affinities on shipboard a*r well as else­where.- Many persons who were quite-intimate at first, have very^plainly become tired of each other, and were it not for the fact that they are cooped up and walled in on shipboard, would get as far aWay from them as possible. 1 can imagine that persons who are not spe­cially congenial to each otheryif thrown to gether in this way for two or three months, would come to hate and loathe each other. So true ia it that many people are best friends at a distance, and that it does not do to see too much of one another.

Never Too Late To jLeara.

Socrates at an extreme old age, learned to play on musical instruments.

Cato at eighty years of age, commenced to study the Greek language.

Plutarch, when between seventy and eighty, commenced the study of Latin.

Boecaio was thirty five years of age when he commenced bis Btudiea in polite literature1

Yet he became one of the greatest master* ot the Tuscan dialects ; Dante and Petrarch be' ing the other two.

Sir Henry Spelman neglected the sciences in his youth, but commence J the study of them when he was between fifty and sixty years cf age. Aftef|this time he became a most learn­ed antiquarian and lawyer.

Dr Johnson applied himself to the Dutch lan­guage bat a few years before his death*

Ludcviao Monaldeseo,at the great age of one I hundred and fifteen, wrote the memoirs of his

own times: Ogilby, the translator of Homer and Virgil,

was unacquainted with Latin and Greek till be was past fifty.

Franklin did not fully commence bis philcf sophioal pursuits till he had reached hs fiftieth year.

Dryden.j fc his sisty eighth year, commenced the translatioa of IHah ; his most pleasing pro* (faction-.

We could go oa &M cite thousands of exam­ples of men, who commenced a new study, either for livelihood or amusementj at an ad-vancee age. But every one familiar with the

Girls of tae Period,

A French lady writes thus of the girls of the period:

I was at a reunion the other evening, Where I saw a young'American girl, not more thatt sixteen years old, who had just arrived la Pails. She bad come all the way from San Francisco, accompanied only by a brother two years younger than herself, and teemed quite incapable of understanding the astonishment of the ladies who questioned her regarding her journey.

'Whatl you traveled six thousand milei alone with your brother?'

'Yes, madam.' 'And you were not afraid V •Afraid! of what?' 'And there was that in her manner that

ebowed she was already quite capable of taking c&re of herself.

Where Is the Parleienne -who would venture to go from Paris to St. Cloud alone ?

Englishwomen have the same temperament and the same education aa the American. I t is not rare to see English girls who have been alone to the Indies and back. I once met In England a young girl who, when I asked he* what she went to the Indiea for, replied with the greatest naivete .* •

'I went to find a husband, and did not euo-ceed.'

These yoang girls are much better armed against danger from libertines than are ours. While still young, they are taaght to protest themselvfcs. British manners allow young girls to have recourse to a thousand little insinuating ways to win a husband; bat they know full well that, to attain their ends, they mast make themselves respectea, which they find it easy io do by confining their innocent rogeries Within the limits prescribed by true feminine modesty.

But,once married, good-by to stolen glances, to gentle but expressive pressures of the hand, and all the rest. AH their arrows are Imme­diately quivered, never again to be withdrawn; the flirt of yesterday is to-day a staid matron.
