Carrie was hurt. A tear sprung to her eye and a quicker throb to her heart; but she knew his mood might bo changed, and she knew too, that were sho to speak one desponding word, ho would give up utterly, and insist upon returning again to the old haunts of his childhood, where his situation would only be that of a com mon laborer. So hhe choked the rising emotion, atid again answered with a tone of cheerful encouragement and mild re proof "Oh, don't speak fo, George. I know we have not been very successful, but then we arc settling in a new county, and beginning a new life. Wo must struggle on and not give up. After a few years, our locusts; will break the wind, and tho loss of one planting of corn or wheat, I hope will not prostrate us as now." u I5ut how am I ever to get where I can help myrclf ;corn fpoiled, wheat blighted, and tho cow lost in the prairies; the wolves have killed my sheep, and now my best ox must die. You may talk of blessings, but I don't, and I'm determin ed to sell out my claim to tho first man that will take it, and quit the country." "Is not this a Mossing?" fdie asked, hying a crowing baby hoy, tho very im cpe of hitt father, into his arm?. Tht f.itbor rtr.ill faintly; hi hurt. was really sad. Tho hardships, trials and deprivations of a new country were more than he could patiently bear; but with his faint smile, came a low aeknowl ment 44 Yes, Carrie, Dick is a blessing." il And is not Carrie a blessing?" sho added, as she left the warm kiss of aflee tion upon his gloomy brow. 4 Aye, and Carrie is a blessing," was his response in a lightened tone. ' And is not good healtlc'a blessing?" u Ye.j, I suppose to," said he, almost laughirtg.' "And is not this soft, cool air, this mel low moonlight, and the star spangled hea vens, a bleisi ng?" " Of course." 44 Sec our beautiful garden ; how softly it sleeps in tho moonlight. Did you not toll mo to-day, that you never saw such beets and cabbage, such onions and squash es? ami shall wo not have potatoes for ourselves and our neighbors, if wo should only bo so blessed as to have any?" Why, Carrie," said he, Liking tho soft hand in his, that was putting back the hair, soothingly, from his forehead, 44 one would think wo had had nothing but blessing-:, to hear you tell tho story." 44 And I am not done yet; I think I have a ble.-sed little homo hero in this clean, sweet, pleasant cabin, and the bles cdest good, kind husband in this pleasant world, if he would not get the blues, and threaten ta h ave this beautiful land, and g back to New York, every time tho winds bluw tho wrong way. Aye, George, 'Don't get discouraged ;' all will yet go well, and wo shall bless tho day that wo stuck our stakis on the prairi"." " Will. I .sup;vv; 1 shall have to stay, whether it h be t or md, Ydi are so deter mined to be hlcvi d with everything; but women folks don't have to .-u!hr as i:oi do." Carrie smiled to her-elf, as sho took her babo again upon her breast, and remem bered the hours of toil and trial thro' which the had pae 1. of the night of wearisome watching and care, of the da of ceasehs exertions, often when searcely able to he ir tho fatigue. Hut she did not feel to murmur. There was to h r a joy in duty, in beinir tru and earue.-t, in .v .r Jv i :. out o:i"'s own dotiny.

Let us skip over a f-ooro ot years. Jht you see that line flourishing village, with a ra.ilr-.ad track coursing thro' its very cen tre? Do you see those lino brick school houses, with their belfries and clear found ing bells, calling tog ther tho hundreds ot children, to teach them of tho myste ries of science and put into their hands that weapon of deftmv and power for the future a good common school e im-ation? Do you see yon imposing building in the distance, with its m.asio walls and towvr ing root ? That is a college. Mark thoe church spires, that point heavenward ; listen to the busy hum ()f machinery, the mill and tho factory, tho bustle of trade. Have you taken it all in ? Now look again. See you that matron ly woman, upon whoo brow forty sum mers have searcely kit a footprint ? Tho glossy hair shows no mingling of silver? tho ro-c has not faded from the cheek, tho' its budding brightness has expanded into full bloom, and tho red at the heart is not quite so deep; tho voice H till soft, and tho laugh silvery and cheerful. "Don't get discouraged, George; all will yet come out right." 44 I have not heard any thing else but 'Don't get dhconragiil, George,' these tv-oMfy years. Carrie; 1 am tired of it. dut think what a lix i am in no., ufi all my struggling." " It is very, very unpleasant to be sure, but don't you remember how often when we lived in tho cabin here on this very spot on tho lone prairie you ued to say just so and threaten to leave and go back to tho old haunts ?" 44 What if the company should fail; shall we bo bankrupt? Shall wo com plain if out of our abundance, in such a time of trial as this wc lose with others?" 44 Yes, but," and George, the influen tial proprietor of the town, the judge of the country, the owner and indwt Her of that beautiful mansion, who held in pos session half tho surrounding landscape, the rich railroad man, and bank director, stopped short, as if ho did not knew what to say next. 14 JJut what, George?" asked his pleas ant wife laying her hand agaiu upon hid brow. 44 1 don't want vou to say.

Not much im provement is the ::ddition of one or two other hoops unless they are graduated in size according to the height of tho wearer and covered by skirt of suilieient thick ness to hide the skeleton, than which nothing could bo more hideous, unless it was a veritable -skeleton from the grave yard. 44 The only skirt that looks uniformly graceful is that made of a series of rattan, whalebone or. brass hoops, extending from the waste to the feet, gradually incrraing in sho with that graceful swell that gives -' to i tic (tress i ii o airy contour ot a muo y preserving the golden mean in re- . ii-iril tn id ri'ti l: O wo tli-tf tru idot ' fioi? good taste will ever dictate.

The son of a wealthy .lew banker in London became much attached to a young Christian, with whom his father opposed bis union. When tho sou found tho father could not ho induced to 'jive his coa:'eiit to the match, ho concluded to marry without it. Th.: father then threatened to withhold every shilling from him, whereupon the son replied that if the father did ml in tend to give him anything, ho would be come a Christian, and according to the law he would bo entitled to one-half of his father's fortune. The father, much alarm ed, flew to his lawyer, to inquire whether such a law wa really in existence. The lawyer's answer was in the allirmativc, but adding that if Io wi nM hand him over ten guineas' he Would give him n plan by which he could frustrate his souks plan. Tho ten guineas were quickly produced. 'Now," said thelavyer, quietly pjekct ing the money, 44 all that remaius for you to do, is to become a Christian also, and tho law will not oblige you to leave your son a oo nt of your money." The Jew hurriedly seivd his hat, and left tho law yer without any further remarks. WHAT is it?
