PETERS’ FIRST WIFE. * Dear. dear! no toast. eggs boiled as hard ss brickbats, and the coffee stone eold,”” Mr Peters rose from the breakfast tuble in a tcmper by mo means amiable, and rang the vel vivleatly. There was no answer! He rang goin, a third, a fourth time, still no an- ewer Uatof all apo he went to the door ana called, “ Maria! Maria!” A slight, pretty little woman, dressed. ina sited. tumbled wrapper, with bair in a state Shahad ope of those round, bright faces which Na intended should be decked with con- tin smiles; but now, with all its roses in bloom) it was drawn out to its full length, and the 1 blue eyes had 2 serious, or rather a dolefal, expression, totally at variance with their joyous look. Her voice, too, had , Tinging sound, and was sub- to a dismal whine. Vhat is it, Joseph?” Where’s Bridget’”’ ‘Gone out forme. I want more white rib- hon for my ascension robe.”’ Mr. Peters said s very naughty word, and then continued: ‘Cold coffee, hard eggs, break- fast not Gt toest.”” ‘I wish,”’ whined his wife, “you would think less of temporal matters, and turn your atten- tion to the great end of life.” ~ Hang it all, madam, I would like to enjoy my life while [do have it. Here was I, the happiest man in the United States, with » pleas- aothome, a chatty, cheerfal, loving wife, and good, quiet children; and now, since you have j ined the Milterites, what am I?” “Ob, Joseph, if you would only come into t blessed circle?” ‘Uh, Maria, if you would only come out of it. Whore are the boys?” “I'm sure I don’t know.”’ “Are they going to school to-day?” “My dear, their teacher has given up school, end is turning her mind to more exalted ob- jects. Ob, Joseph, turn while there is time. Yon have still a week for preparation and re- pa@mtance.”’ Repentance! Well, when I take up the mbject, it will take rather more than a week to pat it through.’” And Mr. Peters put on his coat, and took up his bat. ‘Joseph,”’ said his wife, “you need not send home anydinner I shall be out, and I'll take the boys over to their uncle’s to dine.” Joe made no answer, unless the violently- emphatic manner in which he closed the door was one. Muttering with anger, he strode into a restaarant to make a breakfast. Here he was hailed by one of his bachelor friends, Fred. Somers,who looked up as he heard Joe’s order. “Hallo!” he eried, “You here! Why, what are you doing here at breakfast time? Wife sick?”’ ti ““No'” » Ba a quarrel?” on”? one out of town?” “No!” .

Maria was seated at the table, sow- nm ber white robes, and there were no signs offreparation for the evening meal. >: Maria, my dear,” said Mr. Peters, cheer- fully, “is tea ready. “I don’t know,’ was the answer, “have been out all day, atteuding meeting.” “Ob, very well, never mind.

By the way, lear, bee it ever occurred to you that I shall be left a wide with three children’? I think I am a hand: an yet, my love,”’ and Joe walked over to the glass, — his fingers —< his bair, and pulled up his collar. Ma looked up, rather surprised. “ You see. my dear, it is rather a relief for yougto go quietly, you know. It is so wearing @% the nerves to have a long illness; and be- sides, my dear, there will no funeral ex- penses, and that is quite a saving.” + Mrs. Peters’ lip quivered, and her large biue Ses filled with tears. Joe loaged to stop his besrtless speech and comfort her, but he was fenriul the desired effect was not gained yet. “So, my dear,” he continued, “ if you must I have been thinking of getting another »” What?” cried Mrs. Peters. *‘ Another wife, my love. The house must be kept in order, and the boys cared for.” The grief was gone from Maria's face, but her teeth were set with a look of fierce wrath. ~ Another wife, Jue! Another wife!” “Kes. Ithink I have selected a good suc- cessir. T deliberated a long time when I was a bachelor, between her and yourself. You will like her, for she is your bosom friend.” “* My bosom friend !'" “Yes, mydear. I think on the day that you ascend, I will ry Sarah Ingram '”’ “ What! that -for-nothing, silly, empty- reas old maid the mother any children! vhat'” “ Well, my dear, it seems to be the best I can do! I don’t want to lcsve my business to go a courting, and she will ha. I know.” No doubt! Ob! you great, brutal, hateful— “* Stop, my dear, don't fy into a jurry!

Stary at home one or two days, won't you, and show her round, where you keep things, and se on, so that she won't have the trouble of keeping order aft you go. You will do this to oblige me, won't you Mrs. Peters, for answer, rolled up the ascen- sion robe into a ball and fired it at Joe. The cotton, seissors, work-basket and table-eloth followed this missile in. such rapid succession, that he was unable even to fy. Then Maria's rage found vent in words. “Se! You and Sargh!. That's the rare} u whistled whem you came! You will very glad tg have me go, and let you marry her, w oe %, XIV. on’t you? No doubt of it! But you sban’t marry her, sir! You shan’t have that gratifi- cation! 1 will stay, if it is only to spite you! I won’t go! I tell you, Mr. Peters, I won't go!”’ “ But my dear, you must go if you are come for.”’ “ T won't go!” “ But consider, my dear—’’ «T won’t go!’’ , “Bat what wiltSarsh think?” - ‘ “Sarah! Don’t dare to mention Sarah to me in! I—I—I—I aw fairly choking!” and the little woman threw’ herself on a chair, in a fit of hysterics. Next morning Mr. Peters met Fred in the street. “ Well, old boy, how iv” “ Fred,” was the reply, “I am the happiest mania the world! I have regained my wife and domestic e, aed gt rid of a busy, tattliog old mala, whe, er pretense of lov- ing my wife, was everlastingly interfering in our household arrangements.’ “Thea Mrs. Peters will not ascend?” “No. IfSarah is to be my second wife and step mother tomy childron, Mrz. P. has con- cluded that she won’t go!” —S oe A NOTABLE “SCHOOL EXAMINING COMMITTEE.” N.P. Willisin the concluding letter of his series upon the Baltimore and Uhio Railroad gives the following Willis-y bit of pen-painting touching @ country school-house: Ido not know whether it was by a chance stopping of the train, or by a kind intention of the selective good taste of our ‘Prescott the Smith,’’ that we found ourselves, in the middle of the forenoon of a delicious summer day, halting for a few moments directly in front of one of these remotenesses—a little bit of a log shool-house, right in the heart of Northwestern Virginia’s mountain wilderness. The small low door, and the glimpse of a row of little hatless heads, as we sew them from the ear, were very tempting. and there was an immedi- ate jump of our party fora better look at the interior. A modest and dignified courtesy from tle schoolmistreas gave usa welcome. There was a spare bench near the door which accommo- dated most of us, and Judge Warren and poet Thompson occupied vacant sport on the sort seat of the class ‘up for spelling.”’ Secretaty Kennedy leaned on his stick near the shut-up stove in the entre, his kindliest of voices and faces encouraging the iuterrupted exercises to proseed, and Sink coulipeliing Maury stroked the head of the nice boy next him in tho corner. Bayard Taylor sat, in his quict ob- serving way, studying the surroundiag rows of boys’ and girls’ fuces—some thirty of them, al- together, and every one barefoot, and all seated aguinst the rough-hewn dogs on the one bench of narrow plank which lined the room. Fancy what @ picture for a photographer to have brought away—the celebrities, and the little be roblems of humanity, all combined! Bat oh the tender Providence of God which hus provided, for these cradice of the intelli- gence of our race, the willing devotion of womanhood, co. patient, a0 self-sacrificing, so uncomplaining and affectionate’ The school- ma'am befure us was adelicately formed young woulan of twenty or twenty-two years, perhaps, dressed with exceeding plainness, aud of the most unconscious simplicity of demeanor, but her pale and thoughifully refined features had an expression which seemed to me the perfec- tion of what we recognize as the beauty of the soul. She looked as if she felt born only to be good and kind to others, while life should last, and that she was here in her place, sume- what overtasked, but doing guvd, she hoped, and willing to be forgotten. Atthesame time, in he subdued gentleness of tone, her exquisite propriety of repfice, and her calm sweet man- ner to us, @ party of strangers, there was a self-possessed dignity that it -was impossible not to pay homage to—difficult (1 may as well say) not to record for others, as adimiringly ag one remembers it for oue’s self. As I satin that humble schovl-room and lovked upyn the unconscious beauty of its patiently presiding spirit, Lcould not but thank God for the an- gels still found distributed through the world! We were to hear a cluss recite, however, and you are never surprised, I hope, to find that fun and pathos come very close together! A half dozen of the little shock-headed barefoot- lings were called up to spell; and my friend the Judge, who, a moment befure, had some trouble to keep his eyes dry with the sight of the picture I have described, burst into eon- vulsions of laughter at the succession of intre- pid lictle voices, each with its proud pronuncia- tion of the mastered monosyllable. B—u— double s, buzz! E—double g, egg' P—i—g, pig! S—m—a—doubie |, small! G—r—a dou k rass! rang out from the low-roofed temple of carning into the neighboring woods, thesturdy little reciters as consequential with the dignity of their performance us if they were speakers for the first time on the fluor of Congresss. The fan was somwhat catching, but the un- restrainable laughter of one or two of our party had no effeeton the scholars. Bravely they spelt away, book in hand and eyes turning ex- clusively from the slow-spelt word to the ap proving face looking down upon thom—our uneomprehended vist, and our interruptions of the lesson, being evidently, taken, like the long words at the end of the spelling-book, to be mysteries which it was enough, for the present, that the school-ma’am should under- stand—to be treated respectfully till they |. should know more about them. Among the bits of bare feet doubled up un- der the long bench was one very slight pair, belo to a girl of perhaps ten years a aera on aes pride of jae and feature struck meas something remarkable. She was ina frock, which ap to be her one ai garment. but the head was set on her sunburnt shoulders like an infant Fairfax’s, and the brown lustre of those great dark eyes with the long eyé-lashes, looked as if it must have been filtered through a lo: of court beauties. I called Bayard Taylor's attention to her, as he sat next me, and [ became so in- terested in studying the little princess of the woods, that I ventured to ask the school- mistress, at last, if we could not heaher read or spell. But she was a new scholar and this was her third day—her court education, at resent, toiling painfully over a—b, ab.
