A noted music teacher in New York City relates the following incident, which contains a moral worth recognition by wives: A year ago last fall a card was brought into my music-room bearing the name of a well known and fashionable married lady. When she was ushered m I was supprised to see so young a looking woman, though, to be sure, she it not yet forty, and ft fair complexion and clear blue eyes made her look younger. She seemed a little embarrassed, but asked me to try her voice. I did so, and found it uncultivated, but was singularly fresh and sweet; in quality a light soprano. I told her so, and her face flushed eagerly as she asked : " Professor, could you teach me to sing?" "Yes," I replied, "if you choo.se to apply yoursplf earnestly." "T will; and if you can manage it so that I need not be seen, and that no one knows of it, I will take a lesson every day." We made the best arrangements we could and the lady never failed to appear promptly at the hour. She was anxious and so persevering that she made the most extraordinary progress, and when spring came, her voice had no strenthened and developed as to be almost beyond recognition. During the summer I heard nothing of her beyond mention in the society papers of herbeinii at Saratoga, but about a month ago she called upon me, and taking both my hands in hers, she shdok them earnestly, as she said: "Professor, I have come to thankyou for making me the happiest woman alive." She then tcTld me that her husband, to whom she was deeply attached, was passionately fond of vocal music, and had always regretted that she could not sing to him. She had never cultivated her voice before marriage, and afterward the coming of children and the claims of society had prevented her attempting it; but the un luckv dav came when Mr. A- made the acquaintance of a charming widow with a charming voice, who was always ready and willing to sing sweet songs to him, and he gradually fell into the way of spending many of his evenings with her. At heart devoted to his wife, he was unconscious of his gradual neglect of her and would have been astonished had she resented his enjoyment of these musical' About the widow I am not prepared to speak. Mrs. R , like a nice woman, did not resent it, but undermined the enemy, as you will see. Tier music lessons she kept a profound secret from her family. In the summer they went, as usual, to Saratoga, and took possession of one of the pretty cottages, at the United States Hotel. The morning after their arrival the local newspaper contained a notice that the leadingsoprano of the Episcopal Church was ill with a throat affection, and the congregation was asked to make due allowance for the disabled choir. The next morning (Sunday) Mr. R , with two of the children, wended his way to the church of his belief, Mrs. R , having excused- herself on the plea of a headache. After the opening service, the minister announced that a " a lady from New York had kindly volunteered to sing in the place of the sick soprano, and in consquence the musical service would be the same as usual." A few moments later a clear, sweet voice rang through the church and touched the hearts of the people, perhaps, even more through the exquisite expression and feeling with which the music was rondored than the q'uaalities of the voice itself. Mr. R , was fascinated f delighted, and inwardly made comparisons between it and witching widow, not flattering to the latter. After the services were over he eagerly Bought the minister to ascertain the name of the charming soprano, whose face lie had not been ablejtoseq from his seat. " Come with me anefl will introduce," you said the minister, who knew Mr.' R., by reputation. They entered the choir together, and the good man began : " Miss Brown, permit me to introduce" when he was interrupted by Mr. R , ejaculating: "Great heaven, it is my wife!" And, place and company notwithstanding, he gave her a hearty embrace in his delight and surprise. To cut the story short he fell in love with her all over again ; the singing siren was forgotten, and I don't believe you could find a happier couple in New York. A Few Parlor (tames. The games that follow are not all of them particularly newbut they are pleasant, and are quite worth trying: One player says: "Have you seen my cat?" The next replies: "Yes, I've seen your cat." " Do vou know what my cat is do- ing ing ?" "Yes, I know what you cat is do-" "Doit." And then" it the plaver neglects to purr or scratch she pays a for feit. Ot course, that game may be varied considerably by choosing any other animal. TjieInterrupted Reply. The company are seated in a circle, when one whispers to her right, hand neighbor. Say that she asks : " Of what use is a book ?"" The answer would naturally be: "To read." But instead, she asks another question of her right hand friend, and when the question have gone around the last answer is given aloud of course producing much laughter among the party. Puzzle Music. One player leaves the room, and the rest determine on something he must do on his return. Say he has to dance around the room to discover a hidden person, or to touch a particular object. When he enters he is informed by song or piano when he is near or far from his object; the singing or playing becoming louder or softer as he approaches or recedes from the solution. With little trouble this may be made a most amusing game. It is, in fact, but a moderation of old nursery frolic, "Hot Boiled Beans and Bacon." The Traveler. The traveler leaves the room, and then the company determine on the country he is to visit, and prepare accordingly. Say he is to guess Germany, vou have a student with a long pipe, a book and spectacles; Turkey, a lady in a turban, reclining on a sofa-cushion ; Lap land, a tent with natives sitting around a fire. This may be made by a lew chairs turned upside down and a table-cloth thrown over them, the natives wrapped in shawls, etc. The traveler comes in at a given signal, and must guess the country show or pay a forfeit. The Key op the Kino's Garden. The plan is for one to give a sentence : "I give you the key of the king's garden." The next person repeats the works with an addition : " I give you the string that holds the key of the King's garden. Then the third adds: "I give you the scissors to cut the string that holds the key of the King's garden." A fourth : "I give you a patent iile to sharpen the scissors to cut the string that holds the key of the King's garden." A fifth: "I give you a box to hold the patent file to sharpen the scissors to cut the string that holds the key of the King's garden," and so on till one player fails and pays forfeit. The Secret that Travels. A game of the simplest character, but which among young people will often be found to afford genuine genuine amusement. If has its advantage that any child can join in it without having previously possessed a knowledge of the pastime. The players sit around a table; or at least dispose themselves in a circle. One player starts the game by whispering a sentence in the? ear of the p'layer on the right hand. .Tins sentence is the secret. The player, to whom the secret has been confided, tells it to his right-hand neighbor, and so on, to all the table circle. The last player repeats aloud the sentence, as ho understands it, and then the first player gives out the sentence in its original form. As a general rule, it will b6 found that in passing fronl one to another, the wordB have been so altered as to be almoBt unrecognizable. ,
