She is cunning—sometimes witty. Free and easy, but not bold; Like an apple, ripe and mellow, Not too young, and not too old; Half-inviting, half-repellent, Now advancing, and now shy; There is mischief in her laughter, ‘There is danger in her eye. She has studied human nature; She is schooled in every art, She hs taken her diploma, As the mistress of the heart! She can tell the very moment * When to sigh and when to smile, Oh, a maid is sometimes charming, But.a widow all the while! Are you sad? oh, then how serious Will her pretty face become! You are angry; she is wretched, Saddened, friendloss, tearful, dumb, Are you mirthful? how her laughter, Silver-sounding, will ring out! She can lure, and catch, and play you, As an angler does a trout! Ah! ‘old fossils,” nearly fifty, Who are plotting, deep and wise, Ye ‘ Adonises,” of twenty, With the love-light in your eyes! You may practice all the lessons Taught by Cupid since tie fall, But I know a little widow Who can win and fool you all! KiRKWOOD, LIVINGSTONE & CO.

I WENT one day with Mauricet to th: house of one of the greatest contractors in Paris, for some dire miatster mison, wd which, by his direction, ous required by the Thad put down on paper, ‘Lhe contractor Was not in his office, and we had to. tra- » several apartments by the servant's tion to find them in the garden, ywhere were many-hucd carpets, d furniture, hangings of silk, and i had never seen any- ‘urtains of velvet. thing like it; so T opened my eyes and w: Iked on tiptoe for fear ot destroying the flowers on the carpets, Mauricet watching me with a sidelong glance, : * Well, what do you think of this box ho asked, fa » mischivvous tone; +4 Tanswered that the house seemed to belong to a prince. “A prince of the trowel!’ replied my companion, ‘ A most honorable position | He has three other * hotels’ (mansions) in Paris, not to mention a chateau in the country.” I did not answer for a moment; all this wealth stirred something evil within me. Seeing so much velvet and silk, Linvolun- tarily looked at myself, and was ashamed to be so badly dressed, With my shame was discontent, Itelt disposed to hate the owner ol all these riches for having brought my own poverty to my- notice. Mauricet, who suspected nothing, contin- ued to call my attention to all the beautes of the house; [listened with impatience ; my heart beat; my color rose, L could not forbear looking, and the more 1 looked the more embittered I became. My am- bition; which bad slumbered since my ac- cident and illness, was reawakened, but alas! by envy. We stopped at last in a saloon, while the servant looked fov his master, Mauricet called my attention to a wretched litle portrait ina black frame, hanging amidst the tine and richly-framed pictures which adorud the walls. It represented a work- man in his jacket, a pipe in one hand and a pair of compasses In the other, It was one of those pictures costing six franes, of which ove sees specimens exhibited in doorways, together with models ol stags and false tecth. There is the ‘ bourgeois’ (muaster)’ suid the mason. ** Plas he been «a workman, then ?” I ask- ed, ‘Like you and me,” said Mauricet, “and you see he is not ashamed ot it.” Llooked at the portrait in its black franie, and then at the costly furniture, trying to realize the transition froin one to the other. * Al! that puzzles you,” said the ma- son, laughing; ‘‘ you s the ladder which enabled him to descend trom his seaifolding to this place. But everyone does not know how to use that ladder; in aking the ajteupt more than one has d-the rounds from want of skill and a firm hand.” “ T obse: “Tie must have been lucky ; chauce is everything in this world; people have nothing to do with their own ” SUCC © Bou example, Father Mauricet,” Leon- tinued, bitterly, ‘ why have not you a tine house as Well as the man that lives here? Are you less deserving, ov less honest?” You say that tor me, but you think that for yourself,” he replied, maliciously. +All the same,” J replied, alittle vexed at being seen through; ‘Lum not con sidered a bad workinan; [am not so idle as others. If doing one’s duty is suflieient to make one a millionaire, 1 also might drive in my carriage.” « And is that a mode of trave ling that would suit you?” inquired my lricnd, tron- ienlly. « Why not? any one would rather spare their legs than those of a horse ; but you need not be atraid; that will never be my lot. Here below it yu see, as in old days anong noble families, all for the el- dest, nothing tor the younger sons; anu we workmen are the younger sons; “That is true,” murmured my compan: ion, and became silent. ' “Phere is nothing to be said,” I contin- ued; ‘asso it is ordered, it is just! We may not upset the world! Only you see it makes my blood boil when L look at the different positions in. which people are placed, How comes it that one should judge of t lodge in a palace and another perch in a pigeon house? Why do these carpets be- long to him rather than to us?” «Because J earned them,” interrupted a voice, suddenly. I started: the contractor was standing behind us, in embroidered slippers and a dimity dressing-gown. He was a little, grizzly-headed man, but strong built, and with a commanding voice. ** Ah! it seems to me you are & grum- bler,” said he, fixing his eyes on me; ** you are jealous of me; you ask by what right my house is mine rather than yours? Well, you shall know. Come!” He made a movement towards a door; I hesitated to follow, and he turned round towards me. ** Ave you afraid ?” he asked, in a tone that made my color rise. «Let the master show me the way,” 1 replied, almost rudely. Ie conducted us into a study, in the middle of which-stood a long table, on which were cups and brushes, rules and compasses. On the walls hang colored plans representing all the sections of a building. Here and there on the shelves were models of staircases and timber work, and many instruments of the use of which Twas ignorant. A large case occupied the end of the room, divided into compartments, and each labeled, and on a bureau were heap- ed bills and estimates. The contractor stopped beltore the great table, and ‘show- ing me 2 water colored plan, said: “This plan requires moditying. They want to reduce the building three metres, but without diminishing the number otf rooms, and you must also find a place for the staircase. Sit down and make a rough sketch of the thing.” 1 looked at him surprised and told him T could not draw. «Phen examine these measurements for me and it the estimates are correct.” Tanswered that f was not up in’ such work as estimating prices and verifying mensurcncits, * You can at least tell me,” continued the contractor, ‘ what necessary legal forms Linust comply with, in regard to the three houses [aim about to build’?

It came substanti: ly from the lips of the Earl ot Cardigan, the con matnder of the Bleventh Hussars, at Balak lava, in 1854, who actually led the cele- brated | charge,” and was related to Mr. Stephen Massett, during his recent visit to England, after he had recited ennyson 's stirring epic to Lord and Lady Car with an effect which may be e: im- agined by all who have ever heard his recitations. At about one o'clock on that memorable day, aiter the Heavy Brigade had heen attacked by the Russiin ew , the whole Do not lose your |’ Brigade had been ordered to dismount to reliove their horses, Suddenly they were again ordered to **moun:,” and aid-des camp Capt. Nolan came forward, and told Lord Lucan, commanding the cavalry, that the Light Brigade were to attack the Russians in the valley. Lord Lucan rode up to. Lord Cardigan, and said; It is Lord Raglan’s order that the Light Brigade isto attack the Russian’s in the valley.” Lord Cardigan replied, saluting with his sword: *¢ Certainly, my lord, but you will allow me to inform you that there isa Russian battery in front, and one on each flank, while the ground on the flank is covered with Russian riflemen.” Lord Lucan answered: ‘*1 cannot help that; it is Lord Raglan’s positive order that the Light Brigade is to attack them.” Lord Cardigan then formed his brigade, of five regiments, with three regiments in the front line, and two in the second, while Lord Lucan ordered Lord Cardigan’s own regiment, the Eleventh Hussars, back, so as to form a support on the left rear of the front line. Lord Cardigan immediately ordered the advance, After going about sixty yards, Capt. Nolan rode obliquely across the front, when a Russian shell fell upon the ground near him, and not far trom Lord Cardigan,—Nolan’s horse then wheeled about and carried him to the rear, and Lord Cardigan led the brigade down to the main battery in front, about one mile and a quarter distant. On arriving atabout eighty yards from the battery, the fire became very severe, and the officers were considerably excited, and had to be ordered to * be steady.” Lord Cardigan, at the head of his bri- gade, passed close by the muzzle ol agun, which was fired as he entered the battery, and rode straight forward through the Russian limber carriages, until he came up close to their line of cavalry, His brigade did not follow him, and he was attacked by two Cossacks, slightly wound- ed, and nearly dismounted; but he fenced them off, and gradually retired from them and others who were attempting to sure round him, When he got back to the battery his command had retired and di- veryed to the lett, and he slowly retreated, until he met Gen, Searlett, commanding the Heavy Brigade of cavalry. He told them that the Light Brigade was destroyed, and mentioned the fate of Capt. Nolan, alter bringing the order for the attack, when General Scarlett said that he had just ridden over Captain Nolan’s body. igan then had his. brigade counted by his staff officer, aud found that there were only one hundred and ninety five men present out of six hundred and tity. Tle then immediately rode off to Lord Ragiau to report what had taken phice. ‘The first thing that Lord Raglan said was, ‘* What, sir, could you possibly mean by attacking a battery in front, contrary to all the usages of warfare, and the cus- tom of the servic ?” Lord Cardigan replied, My lord, T hope you will not blame me, fort received a positive order from my superior officer, in front of the troops, to attack them, al- though I was qnite well aware of the un- usual course of proceeding ordered.” Lord Raglan then inquired what he had done, and was told that he had led the brigade into a Russian battery; that he had ridden up to the Russian cavalry ; that he was not followed by the brigade ; that he was wounded and nearly dismount- ed, and had some difliculty in getting away from a number of Cossacks; that the brigade was nearly destroyed, there now being only one hundred and ninety- five left out of six hundred and fifty; and, finaly, that the whole affair had occupied only the brief space of twenty minutes !— N.Y.
