THE LIGHT AT HOME.
The light at home, how bright it beams,
When evening shades around us fall !
And from the lattice, far it gleams
To love, and rest, and comfort call.
When wearied with the toils of day,
And strife for glory, gold, or fame,
How sweet to seek the quiet way,
Where our loving lips will lisp our name,
Around the light at home.
When through the dark and stormy night
Tho wayward wanderer homeward hies,
How cheering is that twinkling light
W hich, through the forest gloom, he spies!
It is the light at home he feels .
That loving hearts will greet him there ;
And softly through his bosom steals
The joy that banishes his care,
Around the light at home.
The light at home 1 whene'er at last
It greets the seamen through the storm,
He feels no more the chilling blast
That beats upon his manly form.
Long years upon the sea have fled
Sine dear ones gave a parting kiss,
But tLe sad tears which then were shed,
Will now be paid with rapturous bliss,
Around tke light at home.
The light of home! how still and sweet
It peeps frm yonder cottage door,
The weary ll" to ireeti
When the rough tnU of day are o'er.
Sad is the soul that does not know
The blessings that the beams impart
The cheerful hopes and joys that flow,
And lighten up the heaviest heart,
Around the light at home.

BEAUTY AT B1LJ-.IABDS.
There is a lady in this case.
For three days she had sat opposite
me at the table of the pleasantest of
White Mountain resorts, (of course I
give no hint as tC ich that is tastes
(liffer "land I had gradually become en
thralled. Her beauty was dazzling, and
her name was Tarlingford. For the
first of these items I was indebted to my
own intelligence; for the second to my
hotel register, which also informed me
she was from New York.
I, too, was from New York; a coinci
dence too startling to be calmly over
looked. Our acquaintance bean oddly. One
morning,
a tiara boiled e"s,
and wondering if I
could perforate Ler affections with any
thing, like the success which had fol
lowed my fork aa it penetrated the
shell before me, when I felt a tiniid
touch upon my toe, thrilling me from
end to cud like a telegraph wire when
the insulation is perfect. I looked up,
and detected a pink flush making its way
brow ward, on the lovely countenance
across lh table.
"I bec your pardon," said I, with
much concern, 9
"It was my fault, sir, excuse one,"
said sh, permitting the pink flush to
deepen resily.
"iShall 1 paes the buttered toast?"
said I
"Muffins, if you please," said she, and
so sweetly that I was blinded to the ab
sence of sugar in my second cup of cof
fee. I was confused by this incident.
Many men would by an affectation of
sudden appetite have concealed their
disquietude, or by bullying the waiter or
by abrupt departure from the scene. I
did neither. I felt I had a right to be
confused, and gloried in i&
Very soon Miss Tarlingford withdrew,
and 1 experienced an aching void
within, which chops and fritters had no
power to replenish.
I opened a chambermaid's heart with
a half dollar, and the treasures of her
knowledge were revealed to me. The
beaty and her party were to remain a
fortnight. Among her companions
there were no males except a youthful
irresponsibility. Exulteniur.
Later in the morning I heard the
tinkling of the pianoforte. Music has
soothine charms for me, though I have
not a savage breast. 1 drew near, and
found Misb Tarlingford trifling with the
keys those keys which lock together
so many chains of human sympathy.
She rose and gave out demonstrations of
impending disappearance. I inter
posed "Pray coutinue. I am famished tor
music, and came especially to listen."
It is hardly worth while."
"llow eats you say so? It is I who
knowest what I need."
"1 will play for vou then."
And she did. This was wonderful.
Usually a lone and painful struggle pre
cedes feminiue acituiescence on such oc
casions. Hepe.ited refusals, declarations
of incapacity, partial consent vouchsafed
andtheu way waruly withdrawn, poutings,
head-tossing, ieebier murmurs of disin
clinations, and final reluctant yielding
form the fashionable order of proceed
ing. The charm of it all is, that the
original intention is the same as the ul
timate action. Whence, then, this
folly? Having been many times bored
by this sort of thing, I was now corres
pondingly gladdened by the contrast.
Miss larlingtord played well, and I
said so.
"Pretty well," she answered frankly,
"but not so well as I could wish."
Shock number two. It is customary
in good society for tolerable performers
to disavow all praises (secretly yearn
ing for more) and to assail with invec
tive their own artistic accomplishments.
Here was a young lady who played
well and had the hardihood to acknowl
edge it. This rather took away my
breath and a vacum began to come un
der my waistcoat.
si or three blissful days MiS3 Tarling
ford and I were seldom separated. Her
sister a pale sedate maiden of amiable
appearance, and her brother, a small rude
boy of intrusive habits and unguarded
speech, I consentend to undergo, forthe
sake of conventional necessity. To the

Three blissful days of sunshine,
meadowy TamblcB, forest explorations,
the majestic tranquility of Nature
spiced with the sauce of flirtation, or
something stronger. Sometimes we
took our morning happiness on foot,
sometimes our evening rapture in an
open wagon at two forty.
The puerile Tarlingford, interfering
at first was summarily crushed. Aspi
ring to equestrian distinctions, he
wrought upon maternal indulgence, un
til, not without misgivings, maternal
anxiety was stifled, and, with injunc
tions that we should hover protctingly
near him, he was sent forth a thorn in
our sides. In half an hour he was ac
cidently remembered, and was nowhere
in view; so we pursued our way, well
pleased. He had droppod quietly off
at jthe first canter, into a miry slough.
and had- returnedaohhinalv covered
with mortification and mud, to tho arms
of his parent. Keen questioning at
dinner was the result.
"Why did you so neglect him?" de
manded fond mama,adding reproachfully,
"The child's life might have been sacri
ficed.
"Mother, we looked for him and he
was gone. Why didn't he cry out?"
"So I did," shouted this youth of open
speech, "but you two had your heads to
gether, laughing and talking like any
thing, and couldn't hear, I Buppose."
( vv itn a juvenile sneer.)
" Oh, fie, Walter ! Now I think .vou
were so frightened that you could not
speak."
I shall know better than to trust
him to your care again," said the indig
nant mama, as one who withdrew a
blessed privilege.
" Don t say that, mother, it would be
a punishment too severe," said the mis
chievous little pale sister in tones of
pity, and her face brimming with mirth.
Everybody laughed, and peace was
soon restored.
On the third evening, misery came id
me in an envelope post marked New
York:
" My Dear Plovins :
" I shall be with you the night after
you receive this. , Engage a room for.

I am willing to Ulfyou, but u3t S no

" Yours, in a hurry,
" Frank Lillivan."
My heart was as the mercury of the
thermometer which is plunged into ice ;
but I preserved an outward composure.
Turning over the pile of letters awaiting
owners, I came upon one, directed in
Lillivan's hand-writing, to Miss A.
Tarlingford.
To think that a pnltry superscription
should carry such a weight of tribula
tion with it !
I thus discovered that my lines had
fallen in unpleasant places. I was fish
ing in a preoccupied stream, and had got
entangled.
I avoided the public table and shrunk
from society. During the whole of the
next morning I kept aloof from the
temptations of Tarlingford, and took to
billiards.
In the afternoon, as I sat gloomily in
my room, with feet potruding from the
window and body inclined rearward,

straightway to the parlor. Could it be
that a flash ot pleasure beamed on Miss
Tarlingford's face ? or was I a deluded
gosling? The latter suggestion seemed
the more creditable, so I cheerfully
adopted it.
" We have missed you, jlr. rlovins,
said the fair enslaver, " I hope you have
not been unwell ?"
" Unwell ? oh, no,-no !"
" You have not been near me us to
day," (reprovingly) " not even to din

A sudden hope mounted within me.
" Miss Tarlingford, pray excuse me

' Oh, hideous horror ! And this is
what they call flirtation, 1 thought.
And the hope which had risen blazing,
like a rocket, went down fuliginous, like
the stick.
" Mr. Plovins, I will say you are
very very inconstant, to be absent all
day thus."
" Miss Tarlingford, it is not incon
stancy, it is billiards. ;
"Billiards?"
" Billiards. I adore them. You
know nothing of billiards. Women
never do. They are my joy. Pardon
me," (with a sudden uprising of the
moral sense,) I have an engagement at
the billiard room, and I should be there."
"Dear me, 1 should like to do bil
liards." "Heaven forbid!"
"Why so, sir?"
"No, I do not mean that; but ladies
never play billiards."
"I suppose there is no reason why they
should not?"
"A thousand."
"W7hy, what harm?"
"My dear Miss Tarlingford, if your
first name were not Arabella alas, alas!
there would be none."
'Nonsense! now you are laughing at

"Very well, sir if you do not like

"Then I will set mv hat." And her
light footsteps tapped upon the stairs.
Here was a state of things! Where
were my firmness and resolution now?
Where was the Pvthian probity for
which, according my expectations, Lilli
van was to have poured Damoniac grati
tude upon me? Was I, or wa3 1 not,
rapidly degenerating into villainy? J
felt that I was, and blushed for my fam

myself, but now and I was'about to
teach her billiardsl To what depth of
depravity had I come at last!
She rejoined me, beaming with antic
ipationand radiant with the exercise of
running down stairs, .together we en
tered the billiard-room.
Now this I deelare: the ball-room, with
its flashing lights, intoxicating perfumes,
starry host of gleaming eyes, refulgent
robes, mirrors duplicating countless
splendors and ceaseless whirl of vanity,
may add a ten fld lustre to the charm
of beauty, and I know it does; the opera
box embellishments of blaaing gas, and
glittering gems and flowers, fresh from
native beds of millinery, all-odorous with
divinest scents of Lubin, harmoniously
dulcified, have their value, which is
great and glorious, no doubt, and regally
doth woman expand and glow among
them in numberless ways, and aided by
numberless accessories, do feminine gra
ces nimbly and sweetly recommend them
selves unto our pleasant senses; but this
I will for ever and ever say that no
where, neither gorgeous hall, nor gilded
opera box, nor in any other place, nor J
under any other ciiCumsiances, may
such bewildering and insiducus power
of maidenly enchantment be exercised as
at the billiard-table; especially when the
enchantress is utterly ignorant of the
duties required of her, and confidingly
seeks manly encouragement and guid
ance. Controlled by the hand of beauty,
the cue becomes a magic wand, and the
balls are no longer bits of inanimate
ivory, but, poked restlessly hither and
thither, circulating messengers of fasci
nation. I know, for I have been there. '
Had Mis3 Tarlingford turned her
thoughts toward the bowling-alley, I
might without difficulty have retained
my self-possession; for her aex are not
charming at ten-ping. They stride
rampant, and hurl danger around them,
aiming anywhere at random; or they
make small skips and screams, and per
form ridiculous flings in the air, injuri
ous to the alleys and to their game; or
they drop balls with unaffeeUd languor,
and develop at an early stage of proceed
ings a tendency to gutters, above which
they never rise throughout, and all this
is annoying, and- fit only for Bloomers,
who can be degraded by nothing on
farth.

unattainable by woman, and substitutes

they did this time, to scatter stern

of the cue, to get into the way of it.
Then all went on smoothly with her,
turbulently with ine, until, enthusiastic
ally excited, she must be lifted on to the
table's edge, "just to try one lovely little
shot," which escaped her reach from the
ground.
My game was up!
We were alone. Arabella perched

"Oh, Arabella! Arabellal whereiore
art thou Arabella?"
"Do you wish I were somebody else?"
she asked slyly.
"No, no! but what o Frank Lillivan? '
"Frank, do- you know him?" (with a
luminous face.) '
"And he has told me yes.
"What?"
"Of his relations with Miss Tarling
ford." "With Ar,na yes."
"WThat Anna? Who is Anna?"
"De.'ir me! my sister Anna. Don't be
absurd!"
'But I never knew "
"No you knew nothing of her; the
worse for you! You avoided her I m
sure I don't see why and she is retiring?' '
"Retiring! the very word.
"What word? You vex me; you puz

"Forgive me, dear Arabella! I'm too
delighted to explain. I never will ex
plain. I thought it was you on whom
Frank s affections were hxed.
Dear, no! Frank is sensible; he
knows better; he has judgment;" and she
laughed a quiet laugh, and made as if
she would jump down.
As she descended, two heads caromed
together with a click. It was the ir
repressible influence of the billiard at-
mosDhere. I suppose. ro one contem-
plated it.
That evening, when JjranK iiiuivan
arrived, I met him at the door.
"God bless you, l?rank! said I; "I
forgive you everything. Say no more."
"Hallo! what's up?" cried Frank.
"Well, certainly, it was a little im
prudent for you to neglect writing the
whole address of the letter yon sent to
Anna Tarlinford. I thought it was for
Arabella."
"Dear mc!" said Frauk, twinkling;
"what then?"
That is enough.

It may not be generally known, says
the Houston Telegraph, that when a
person is drowning if he is taken by the
arm from behind, between the elbow and
shoulder, he cannot touch the person at
tempting to save him, and whatever
struggles he may make will assist the
person holding him in keeping his
head above water. A good swimmer

. A SLKEPING-CAR INCIDENT. .
The Milwaukee News tells the follow
ing incident, which was witnessed by a
mend in a sleeping-car on tie Detroit
and Milwaukee railroad:
The car was nearly full,' and in one
of the compartments wa3 a tnaiden lad.
neither fat nor fair, but forty, who
was
wonderfully exercised at Ler close prox
imity to some naughty men who were
mucn amused at her nervousness.
Looking about her with sidelong glances
and shrugs of disgust, she finally mus
tered courage to put on her "night cap,"
which operation was almost too much
lor hor. Ihis feat accomplished, she
again cast frightened glances at her sur-
rounders, obviously afraid to proceed
further. At this juncture the conduc
tor came in, and in whispers heard in
the remotest part of the cars, she indig
nantly interrogated him to know if there
were "no curtains in the house." 'Cer
tainly ma'am," said the affable conduc
tor, who hastened to procure some- at
which she appeared exceedingly grateful.
Ihey were soon drawn, and she r.roceed-
ed to make herself as coniforteole as the
nature of the circumstances allowed.
T . . 1 . 1 i v

scream woulc5 issue forich, which caused
an mstanU'.ieous "dropping of the rag.

side for a moment, only to be aroused
on tue arrival of some new place hunter.
As these proceedings continued during
the night,, amid the occasional guffaws of
the spectators, it may be imagined that
the roor victim obtained very little satis
faction for her fifty cents outlay, and
hat she internally vowed never to place
herself iu a like predicament again.
Procrastination.
"Going to do it" never made fortune,
built a house or won a name. " Going
to do if has been the bane of more
people tlian would fill the census of New
ir i . --: mi. i " ...
i or. iue man wuo is always "going
to do it, rarely, if ever, does it. The
only thing he does is to go out of the
world without doing it. If he has a task
that must be done, he at once announces
with a deal of boasting and a great waste
of words, time and breath, that he is
"going to do it." And while he is thus
"going to do it," somebody else who is
not suspected of "going to do it" does it
and reaps the reward. The man who is
always "going to do it" is a friend of
procrastination. Ho is ever on the eve
of doing it when some.trivul obstacle in
terferes, and he gives it up with despair,
and puts off "the going to do it" till
another time until the eternal to-morrow.
