Mrs. Browu and her gossip, Mrs. White, werecoDVir-irjg about husbands aud the se crets of Freemasonry. Mr. Brown was a Free mason; and the fact of nof being able to share the sverets of the Order with him made Mrs. Br?wu very uohappy. She was pouring out her grief to Mrs. White, aod saymg for the thousandth time, "I wonder what they do in tin; Indge-room ?" "1 have no doubt but it's dreadfull," replied Mrs. While. "But if uiy husband was a Ma suu, I'll bet I'd find out what he did." "But how? They dare not tell." "Ah ! but I'd m?Ice him tell." "How ? oh, how ?" asked Mrs. Brown, anx iou.-ly. "IIusl. ! I'll tell you; but don't breathe it for the world, because it is a dead secret." "No, no; I won't." "Well, do you know that tickling a person's ear when they are asleep will make them talk." "Mo. Will't though ?" Yes. Now you wait till Bruwu comas home from the lodne next time, and have a broom straw in the bed. When he gets asleep you tickle his ear with it gently, aud he will begin to talk about what he has been doing at the lodge, and in this way you can get the whole of the business out of him." "Gracious me ! Yon don't say so, Mrs. White?" "To be sure I do. I always get my husbaud's secrets out oi him in this way." "I'll doit !" "And you'll tell me all about it, won't you?" "L'ertuiuly. But you must never say anything about it." "Oh, of course not. I'm very close mouthed" replied Mrs. White, earnestly. So it was agreed upon, and they soparated. But unfortunately Mr. White had overheard tho conspiracy ,and 1< st no time in informing M . J>n>wn, who laughed heartily over it. A few nights afteiwaid Brown attcoded a meeting ol his lodge, aud his wife was all anx iety regarding it. On retiring, she armed her self with a spray from her bloom and wakefu ly wailed for her lord aud master to returu. At last >lie had almost broken down the vail of sec recy which bad troubled her so long, aod her heart beat wildly when she heard him opeu l! e front door aud come in. Of cours-e she pretended to bo asleep, aud did not see the comical smile on her husband's face as he turned up the gas and began disrobing f->r bed. But I e said nothing, and in a few mo ments lie was comfortably tucked in aod giv ing out premonitory indications of approaching sleep. Then Mrs. Brown opened lier eyes cautiously and convinced herself that he had gone to that land from which s'eepy husbands never return until some time next day. Cautiously she reach ed under the pillow, and took the brootn straw from its hiding place. Then she reachcd over carefully aud begau to tickle her husband's ear, a:id he was all the while doing his best to keep from explodiug with laughter. Finally he began to talk a littlo. and her cars were keenly alive to every syllabic. "Yes, he must die," said he. "He betrayi d our secrets to his wife. I've got to kill him? the lot l'ell on me." Mrs. Hrown screamed and leaped from the bed, while her husband, unable to control him self, gave vent to his laughter and disturbed the neighbors for the uext ten minutes. Jiut they oever came to any understanding about the strange affair. She never asked him what he was laughing at, and he never inquired what it was which made her scream aud leap out of bed so quickly. Mrs. Hrown and Mrs. White don't speak now. She thinks Mrs. White played a joke on her, and she seems to have lost much of her anxiety regarding the secrets oY Freemasonry. Sandwich Island Women.?A lady writ ing froui Honolulu, thus discourses upou the native women aud their free and easy minners: "The women are erect, wide in the shoulders, and carry their heads like queens. Many of them are truly handsome, wearing their hair falling over their shoulders in curls, and sur mounted with little straw hats, garlanded with wreaths of lovely uativo flowers. They clothe themselves modestly and prettily, wearing the dress to cover neck and arms, and falling loose ly from the shoulders to the top of the feet, which are often bare. Not being civilized like us, they have not been enlightened into com pressing their ribs with iron and whalebone corsets; nor to disturb and torture their feet with ovtr-tight shoes; nor to put bonnets upon their heads runniug up into turrets of silk and artificial flowers, aud leaving the cars at the rncrey of bitter winds; nor to make up forty-five yards of steel wire into cages and fasten them selves within them; nor to carry an extra half yard of dress stuff bravely after them over the pavement through thick aud thin. Yes, these "women have the advantage of us, for are we not forced by the exigencies of custom, when we come with our long garments upon any im purities of the pathway, to shut, our eyes and clmeh our teeth and rush blindly over them, whereas those Kanaka wom*n, at the sight eveu of a spot of water, lift their light gar ments gingerly, and pass over, clean aud un sullied from its contact? Can this be bar barism ? Habitual Impulse. ?Habitually enthusi astic people are never so happy as when they are endeavoring to save you from yourself. It is, however, fortunate that the passion which informs such persous, is one of peculiar instability aud caprice. Their ambition is to be doioir, no matter what, so that the blood be exercised; and uninformed by prin ciple, and without any special object in their ministry, they so divide their industry among the many, as to render endurable the suf ferings of each. A firm show of resistance soou banifhes the tormentor, who does not feel ?ny defeat or disappointment in being compelled to transfer his dispensations from Jack to Jonathan. &0 bbls NEW "SPLIT" LABRADOR HERRINGS. 100 bbls NEW "ROUND" LABRADOR HERRINGS. to bbls NEW SPLIT EASTPORT HER RINGS. 60 bbls MAGDALIN HERRINGS. -*For sale by FISH I jy o SH1NN & CO., 13 Union st.
