GRANDMOTHER GRAY.

Faded and fair, in ber old arm-chair, Sunset gilding her thin white hair, Silentiv knitting, sits Grandmother Gray ; While I on my elbows beside her lean, And iell what wonderful things I mean rc nave, and to do, if I can some day ;

You can talk so to Grandmother Gray— |

She doesn’t laugh, nor send you away.

With a tine French roof and a frescoed hall,

The deep bay windows are full of fiowers ;

“Yo live in a house like that some day.”

“Money will buy it,” says Grandmother Gray.

“ To-morrow, I know, a great ship sails

other,’ intelligibly explained Miss Ken- | nedy.

‘ Then why did not Joha marry her?’ said Mrs. Winslow.

‘Oh, I do not know that it ever came tou decided offer on his part,’ replied Miss Kennedy. ‘ T have heard that they were engaged, and quarreled. Some’say that she refused him, but I don’t believe

| that.’

‘ [don’t believe it, either,’ said Mrs. Winslow, trying to laugh, but more ready to ery. | * Humph!’ said Miss Kennedy, ‘ very

pretty and wife-like; but you do not sup-

| pose that any man arrives at the age of

thirty withou’ flirting or falling in love | with some one, if he does not marry be- | fore ??

| This may be true; but no woman likes to hear of her husband doing either the one or the other deliberately; She may have no objection to hearing him spoken of good natured)y as having been a geveral flirt, for thea she triumphs in having secured him ; but it is not pleasant to see

| her husbaud’s flirtation, and Mrs. Wins- | low felt this keenly.

| Miss Kennedy now rose to depart, 'chuckling to herself at the young wife’s evident discomfiture.

‘ Good-bye, Mrs. Winslow,’ said her visitor. ~* Don’t be jealous now; it will spoil your good looks, and Fanny Tem- pleton has not much to boast of in that line.’

The door had scarcely closed when Mrs Winslow threw herself back into her chairs in a storm of vexation and jealous Wrath, She had always believed herself to be the first choice of her husband, and could not endure the idea of a former love, and she now saw everythiog through the distinct medium of angry jealousy, She gave full vent to her indignation,never once passing to remember the attention and unwaver- ing affection she had always received, and came at once to the conclusion that John had always preferred Miss Templeton ;

“FUN” AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.

‘Well, John, have you made up your mind as to what we are to do about the concert to.night? Are we to go or not ?’

John shrugged hia shoulders, ‘It will be very cold,’ said he, ‘ turning out after dinner to-night, to hear country perform- ers. 1 would rather sit by our own fire- side and hear you sing. Besides,’ he add- ed, and he glanced half slyly at his wife, ‘you know I can hear you for nothing, and the coucert tickets are one dollar and a half.

Mrs. Winslow smiled, but there was a shade of disappoiutmeat on her face as she replied, Never mind, thea, my dear ; I would rather not go myself than think you went solely op my account.’

Her husband saw the look and: said, ‘Weil, come, if it isa fine evening, and I find that others are going, I will get tickets as I come home from the office ; but 1 certainly should not like to go and find ourselves, as we were last time, the only occupants of three rows of seats, and a miserable scattering behind.’

He rose from the breakfast-table as he spoke, and, having arranged some papers, puton his overcoat, wished his wife ‘ good-by,’ and proceeded to his office.

Mr. Winslow was a solicitor in the town of Stanworth. His father had been a solicitor there before him, and had brought his eldest son up to his own pros | fession. For some years ‘Winslow and Son’ had been the most respectable firm for many miles round, The old gentile. man lived to see his two daughters well] married, his eldest son following in his steps, his youngest settled in a pretty vievrage, and then he was laid beside his wife, who had died about two years pre- viously. Some people said he had never looked like himself since her death. This was very possible ; it was, indeed, a heavy blow to lose the gentle helpmate with whom he had lived in unbrokeu harmony und affection for thirty years.

John found the old house very lonely, and about a year and a half after the old man’s death, and the same Jength of time before this tale opens, he took to himself a wife in the person of Miss Annie Hast- ings, a young lady he had met at the house of one of his sisters. Hitherto they had bid fair to emulate the old people in their mutual happiness and affection * a third John Winslow had made his appear. <oetone rosy, chubby boy of four months old.

his ulng of | the hall door, and voices in the all; start- ‘led her; and in another winute, Mr. | Winslow, accompanied by two elegant~ looking girls, entered the drawing-room.

‘ My dear,’ s:\ ne,‘ I have brought you some visitors I believe you have met before ; Miss Templeton and Miss Maria Templeton. I met these two young ladies in dire distress. They had driven into town hoping to find their aunt, Mrs. Singleton, at home, and willing to escort them tothe concert; but she has gone from home, and they were on the point of returning when | met them, and answered for your willingness to chaperone them.’

Mrs. Winslow bowed coldly to Miss Templeton, but condescended to shake hands with Maria, sayieg, ‘I believe I have had the pleasure of meeting you once.’ Then turning to her husband, she said, ‘1 was not aware we were going. I thought you had decided otherwise, if it should prove a wet evening.’

‘Oh, do not let us take you out on our account, Mrs. Winslow, if you were not intending to go,’ said Miss Templeton, who had a sort of dim consciousness that they were not altogether welcome guests.

‘ Nonsence,’ interrupted Mr. Winslow ; ‘she is only too glM# of the” excuse ; she was very eager aboutit this morning. [ hope you have some dinner for us, Annie, 1, tor one, am very hungry.

‘ Miss Templeton will, [ trust, pardon all deficiences,’ said Mrs. Winslow. ‘ Not being aware of the honor I was to expect this evening, I had only given my erder for two, as usual,’

‘I suppose there is plenty,’ said her husband, ‘ and that is the main thing ;’ so saying, he hastened to his dressing- room.

‘1 trust we are not disturbing your ars rangements, Mrs. Winslow? said Miss Templeton.

Annie had not time to recover herself a little, and determined that her supposed rival should not see any variance bes tween her husband and herself, she there, fore replied courteously, ‘Oh, no, I am very glad to go. Will you come and take off your bonnets ?

Notwithstanding her resolution, Mr. Winslow discovered a change in his wife’s manner. The only solution he could give was, that she did like being taken by sur prise, unprepared for dinner visitors. Why she should puzzled him, for Annie always prided herself on her nice little every-day dinners, without extravagance, ready for any use. He had more than once brought gentleman clients home un- expectedly, and she had manifested no annoyance ; perhaps ladies were different ; at any rate, he had no doubt it would easily be set right.

‘I ordered a fly to Le at the door at five minutes before seven,’ said Mr. Winslow, as the ladies quitted the draw- ing-room,

‘ He would not have done that for me,’ thought the self-tormented, Annie.

Canvine Cuanacren.—Did you ever watch a sculptor slowly fashioning a Suman coun- tenance? It is uot struck out at a single blow. Itis painfully and laboriously wrought a thousand blows round cast it. Ten thous- and chisel points polish and perfect it—put in the finé tuuches, and bring out the feature and expression. It is a work of time; bul at jast the full likeness comes out, and stands fixed and unchanging in the solid marble. So does a man carve out his own moral like- ness. Every day he adds something to the work, A thousand acts of thought, and effort, shape the features and expression of the soul. Habits of love, piety, and truth —habits of falsehood, passion or goodness, silently mould and fashion it, till at length it wears the likeness ef un angel or the image of a demon.

Richard Wagner is as much of a curios sity as his music, according to the Cons cordia, which says of him: “ His gestures are 2s brusque as the thrust of a rapier, and his tongue has the volubility of a windmill. The man is highly nervous and passionate. He is a musicial Orlande. He is always furious as though he was going to fight @ duel or preach a crusade. He is a perfect voleano. He beats his players, and then afterwards, with tears in his eyes, begs their pardon. One moment he insults his singers, the next flatters them and heaps preseats on them. When he travels he must have his special train, his servants, his waiting maids, his bed hanging of yellow silk worked in gold, his silver and his wine. He bires entire hotels, and asks for the bedroom in which princes have slept.”’
