MATRIMONIAL PHILOSOPHICS, BY A. F. BANKS. When Mr. Smuggins married, he had fondly hoped to insure domestic bliss. Three months after that important event he expressed his com- vietion, with savage earnestness to Mrs. Smug- gins, that he hadn't. If he had expected eo 2 ing, (vide an ancient volume.) he might have been a blessed individual; as it was, he was a wofully di ninted one. Mrs. Smuggins quietly delivered a similar m respecting herself, and went on with her ing with an aggravating calmness. Mr. 3 walked about the room evidently un- der the impression that the law for “ assanit and battery’’ was both unhallowed and uncon- stitutional. Suddenly he stopped. “Mrs. Seruggins ! Mrs. Seruggins !" he yoared, as he received no reply “ Well, well, I hear you man—I hear you,” seid that amiable lady; and she took up another loop. -* What is it?”’ * Am I to have a pudding for my dinner, or not? “Perhaps you may, and maybe you mayn't,”” was his rib’s unsatisfactory reply: * Well.we'll see about that,” snarled Mr. S., stamping around. and making his coat-tails fly about ~ Well, my dear, you had perhaps best go and see abuut it; Sukey’s in the kitchen.” And then she dropped a stitch “You'd aggravate a saint. Madam,” ex- claimed Mr. Smugzins. “Do saints upset chairs in that way?” was ‘the meck inquiry. “Mrs. Smuggins,” said the male Proprietor of that euphonious name, ovntronting his sloep- ing partner. “Well?” “Will you make me a pudding, or not?” ao. “ You won't?” ‘Don’t bother me—I've told you once.” «I favey, Mrs. Smugyins, that you entered inte a compact to obey me,” said her shamefully deceived lord, beating the devil's tattoo on his best carpet “ [won't be ordered '”” the lady, with a great deal of dignity, picked up her traps and flounced out of the room In another minute the outraged gentleman was io the kitchen “*Sukey,”’ he said, furiously, -‘make mea ‘currant dumpling for dinner—plenty of cur- rants." ~ Why, sir!” one abilin’'"" _ Mr. Smuggins was in the same dreadful posi tion that we could imagine a certain editor would bein deprived of a“ grievanee”’ He was fairly fabbergasted—idealess, wordless, with the exception of ‘ Nonsense,’ which eame feebly forth. Well, iook, sir, fur yourself,’ said Susan. ‘- Miesas made it with her own two hands an hour ago.”” And there, sure enough, bobbing up and down, was a glorious sized dumpling—the spe- cies of dumpling on which he doated. Considerably mollified, yet filled with a fense of a wronged husband, he proceeded to his wife's room * Well, madam,” he began, “so it ssems there is a pudding after all.’ «+ Is there ?’’ was the echo. “Yes, madam, and it is lucky for you that there rs.”’ “Is it, really?” Sponse ~ Yes, madam, #/—zs! In fact. you dared not—no. Mrs. Smuggins, dared not have diso- beyed me. You knew that it was made, and wanted to give a specimen of your infernal cantancrousness.”” « In-deed!”’ replied Mrs. S., with a suspi- cious emphasis’ -* Now, if you don’t leave the room, J will; all that I've got to say is, that I won't be ordered"? And sho went to another room. slammed the door. and locked it. Mr. 8., boiling over with indignation, consoled him- self ashe went down town with the fact that he had gained his point, and that his pudding wae boiling, too. . Dinner time came, and so husband. (Dinner’s the time to bring "em home.) He sat down, s nothing, looked daggers, and pretended to quarrel with the tenderest of tenderloins. The fact was, how- ever, that he was preserving an enormous cor- ner for the dumpling. The dumpling came. Mr. Smuggins undid the lower buttons of his vest, drew himaclf half a foot nearer to his work, and handed his plate, esying gruffly, “ Give me some of that!” “You can have it all, my dear,’ was the mild acquiescence of his wife, as She pushed the dish towards him. Mr. Smuggins took off the cover. He turned pale. ‘“ What's this ””’ he shouted. “ The pudding, my dear,” was the reply. “ What the have you been doing to it?”’ he frantically demanded. { rolled it in the ashes, my sweet love. You know you stid this morning that I dared not disobey you. No more Lhave, my dear. There's Your pudding—eat it.”’ The spocimen of conjugal obedience disap- _— suddeniy out of the room. with a hearty augh It was lucky for her that the door was on her side, and had been left sjar expressly for a prompt exit. Mr. S. said many a highly immoral thing on the impulse of the moment; however, he was too much of a philosopher to let his pudding cool, so he cut it open, and scooped out the middle He then went down town, and gave a little boy alick on the head for presuming to slip down against him. He dida't go home to supper, but stepped over to Thompson’s. aud then went to the theatre About ten o'clock, something in the play seemed so to tickle his fancy amazingiy, for he seratcbed his head. as though an idea had sud- denly taken root there, and smiled. Hamlet touched the conscience of 4 king with « play ; had a play touched the conscience of Thomas Smwuggins’ It looked like it, to jidge from analogy ; for the king alluded to dian’t depart quicker than he did. The main difference be- tween Mr. Smuggins aud the crowned black- guard was, that (he former made his oxit with a gn on his phiz, and the latter didn’t. Mr. S. carried his «mile home with him, and up to his bed-room, where agers Preparations reelt of her luggaze) Bay. ~ Deuce take it.”’ said he, a few minutes af- terwards, with an olive-branch creak in his tone *- I say, Mary, do you know where my night-cap is?

THE GAME OF CHECKERS, * Aunt Molly,”: said Fanny Osborn, one eve- ning. “did you ever hear any one pop the ques- tion?” * Why, certainly, child, I heard your Unele Charles pop it.’’ “Oh, yes, of course,” said Fanny; “but one doesn’t often tell their own experience I mean did you ever hear any one else?”’ “ Well, yes,” replied Aunt Molly, slowly, “I did happen to, once.” ~- Oh. then please tell me all about it,’’ cried Fanny. “1 would so like to be a little mouse in the wall on such an oceasion *’ Fanny was just turned of fifteen, and it was very natural that she should want to be posted. “* Very well.’ said Aunt Molly, * get your work, then; for I don’t like to talk to an idle listener.”’ Fanny established herself, and Aunt Molly began “It was about ten years after I married and housekeeping, that Cousin V Morris, Uncle Benjamin's son, came to live with us: that is. he wag a partner in your Uncle Char- lie’s store, and boarded with us. You never saw Will, did you’”’ Fenny nodded her head, and Aunt Molly went on. * He was a whole-souled, straight- forward, substantial young man, not lacking in polish, either; but very bashful; so much 40, that I used to pity him sometimes, when we had young company. Annie Evans was an old schoolmate of mine, and just after I went to housekeeping, her parents moved to Oxford. and lived but a short distance from us. Annie used frequently to bring her work, and spend the evening with me, and Uncle Charlie would p. home with her. Yhose were rare times, ‘anny, and we enjoyed them fully. Annie was a real woman—none of your nonsensical, love-sick girls,whose heads are so full of beaux that they won't hold anything elze.’”” Fannie blushed as Aunt Molly said this; but aunty looked very demure; and continued : *: And knowing her, and loving her, as I did, I felt particularly anxious that she chould be well settled in life.’” “That means with a good husband,” re- marked Fanny, roguishly. ~ Certainly,’’ said Aunt Molly, *: and after Will came, and I became acquainted with him, [took it into my head that he and Annie would make acapital match. But, somehow, after he came, Annie did not come so often: and Will. who was very entertaining in his conversation, when we were alone, in her pres- ence was silent and awkward in his manner, as if under restraint; and Annic took but lit- tle notice of him, only as far a8 politeness re- quired, and requested me privately to so ar- range it that Uncle Charlie should still go home with her, that is, if he had no objections. So the young people’s acquaintance progressed slowly. Time and habit arrange these things beautifully, and gradually they camo to be more familiar, so as to call each other by their Christian names. I helped about that, though, for I could not bear the formalities of Mr. Morris and Miss Evans. Just aa I expected. Will became very much interested in Annie: for that matter he had admired her from the first, but he was modest in all his pretensions. and seemed to rogard her as beyond hie reach. At any rate, he could not summon courage enough to speak on the subject nearest his heart.” “How did asked Fanny. “Oh, from observation,” replied Aunt Molly. ~“ And Annie did not help the matter any, for though che was quite friendly and social tn his company, yet there was nothing in her manner that betrayed the slightest intorest in him. Well, one evening, Annie had been spending the afternoon with me, and we were about talked out. when Will came home from the store and [ proposed their playing chec Uncle Charlie had gone to a political meeting. Isat some distance off, sewing, and with one eye watching the gume. They were both good players, end for x long time moved silently, each apparently intenton the game. At length, a3 if conscious thut her success was hopeless, Annie remarked, as if identifying herself with with the man she was moving, “I see you aro after me, Will.” “If Leateh you,"* spoke Will, with sudden energy, “ will you leave me in undisputed possessiun ?”? Annie looked up. startled by his manner, and sewing in his eager face the meaning he had placed upon her words, paused, blushed deep- ly, hesitated, and presently replied : “ perhaps 80; if you end Mary will promise never to tell anybody that I popped the question.” * Will rose hastily, dropped the board—the sheckers ran all over the floor, and taking An- nie by the hand, led her to mie saying— Cou- sin Mary, do you think I deserve this happi- eas /"* “ Certainly, Will; I replied, “and [ eon- gtatulate you mo-t sincere end now, if you will come out of your happy state, and k up these cheekers, 1 will be much obliged to you Vill and Annie laughed heartily, and began king them up with alserity; and as Will ward to y way, he re- ed—“ that was the pleasa t gamo of checkers I ever played in my life Annie said nothing, but looked very rosy and smiling. and now. stid Aunt Molly, © are you satisfied 7” A PLatror™ or Ianvs.—At a recent fire in Boston, a Mrs. Hickey was caught in the third story and could not escape by the staircase. She then went into the room immediately un der her own, and on presenting hersolf at the window the persons below called on her to take courage aud observe their directions, and they would save her. They then, to the number of six or eight, or as many as could join, formed a circle, each man extending his arms horizon- tally, and grasping with his right hand the right. and with his left band the lett hand of tie man ns hapten their arms crossing. They then told her to kneel upon the window sill, and to incline her body in such a way as to free her head from the wall, and to fall side- ways. All being ready, she threw hersclf from that third story window! Not a man drew back from the imminent peril to which each was exposed. All stood firm, and this poor woman was received in safety on the platform of hands and arms—without injury either to them or herself. you know that, Aunt Molly ?”’ one es.

A place near by was pointed out to him, and he inquired if it was good. The answer was that it was such poisonousstuff that it would proba- bly kill. A few minutes afterwards the sailor called to a negro who was sawing wood near by, and took him into the shop which had been pointed out, where he treated him to a drink The bar-tender asked the sailor if he was not aleo going to drink, but received a negative answer, and both the visitors left. Very soon the sailor again made his ld rte called for liquor, and was asked why he did not drink when he was in before.
