Dec. 2, 1859. 594 The other day a bold, bad boy, who lives on King \Villiam street, went home from school and said: “Dear mother, mayn’t I go in my bare feet this afternoon? None of the boys wear shoes in the spring.” But his mother said: “No, my darling boy, I can- not let you go barefooted, and if you teaze me about it, I will wattle your ten er cuticle with the unkind end of a skate strap. ” So the bold, bad boy closed the debate with a sigh, and when the yeas and hays were called hislmotion did not prevail, and the house soon adjourned. But the boy went out of the yard by the alleyway, and took off his shoes and stockings, and hid them behind the woodpile, and scudded merril off too school, and everybody admired his flat, muddy feet. But when he got out of school the ground was covered with snow, and he had a very solemn time hippity-hoppin back home, and when he got there he could not tell a wood pile from a haystack, and his shoes and stockin might as well have been in the middle oft e ocean for all the good they did him. So he went into the house, and, after a greatdeal of filibusteri , he made his renort, which was tabled, an the house went into committee of the whole on the state of the boy. His mother took the floor, and after an exciting and highly inter- esting session the committee arose and the house adjourned, while the boy rubbed such portions of his anatom as he could reach, and framed a bill for t e more perfect pre- vention of chillblains.

She sat at her desk with her head bent down, and her blue eyes so full that they were just ready to run over. The honor cards for well-learned lessons and conduct, 'ven out ever week, had distributegland, as usua, she had not re: ceived one. “The sweetest girl in the school,” all the scholars called her, and the teacher always praised her correct deport- ment. Miss P 's sharp eyes detected the drooping head, and stepfiiix to Katie she put her arm around the c ' ’s waist and in- quired : “_\Vhat is the Ingtter, dear?” "‘0h!Mias Pâ€"â€"â€", I do 1'. ,all I know how to learn the lessons, an 'ever week when the honor cards are given out think may be I’ll get one, ‘anf‘i then} glon’t ; and I dti 'want on; so mubh !” And then tile tears ta 1. . One of the girls declared afterwards that Miss P ’s eyes were wet, but the rest said it couldn’t be. Be that as it may, she took her place in front of the school and said: “You all know, children, what close attention Katie Mâ€"â€"â€" pa s to her studies ; yet with all her industry er recitations are never perfect enough to warrant my giving her an honor card. Some of you have often had the pleasure of getting one,- and know what satisfaction you have received from it.

The fortunes of the latter of course rose with those of the former, and of all the household at Mirk Abbey there was» none in higher trust than Mary Forest, nor more certain of the envied fition she held, since the affection of my y set her above the machinations of that Nemesis of favorite servants, a Domestic Cabal. Those natural enemies, the butler and the cook, had even shakenrhands to- ether for the ' urpose of compassing Mary’s ‘olwgfal‘l, _but t eir kipfl endeavoys ha_d oply Mary Forest was the daughter of a. fisher- man at Coventon, the villa on whose sandy beach Sir Robert had. pic ed ,up his bride.

In a. word, Mary Forest was as happy in her circumstances as my woman of her time of life could expect to be whose title of “ Mistress ” was only brevet rank. She had sub'ugqted many other malevfolks beside the but er (the ancient Coachman, for exam 1e, with the back view of whose broad ahoul era and no neck the Liegard family had been familiar for half a. century), but such victo- ries had not at all been owing to her charms. By them, hitherto, Man had been an uncon- quered animal, 'aud this was the knot in the otherwise smooth surface of Mary’s destiny which no amount of planing (withm Im- hi1- oaophy) could make even. She had een woee'i,'of course (what woman of twoscone, ,aecording to her own account, has not 2), but hitherto the suitors had not been eligible, or her own ideas had been too_ambitioue.

SIR RICHARD GAINS HIS POINT. I don’t know how it was in the Monkish times in En land, but it appears that the keeping of re igious days-always exce ting the Sabbathâ€"is not in accordance wit the genius of the country as it exists at present. y general habit, we are devout, or certainly reverent ; and. yet the majority seem unable to discriminate between fast and festival. Christmas Day, for example, is kept by the evangelical folks exactly like Sunday, which is With them very much the reverse of a feast-day. \Vitlrthe High Chnrch_ people, ' “ And I should recommend you to sta in- doors, my dear (as I hope to persuade iss Letty to do), although it in Christmas Day," said Mary tenderly, as she made up the fire before leaving the room ; “for the church is far from warm.” “ “'33 it your poor heart, a. in madam ?” “Ay, my poor heart I" y Lady was speaking truth there. Among the thousand millions born to suffer on thxs earth, there was not one upon that Christmas Eve in mental aiony mom deep than hers. The blow received ad been so terrible and unexpected, tyat it ‘had at first half stupifieil a]! feelipg; wiih muclfdevotion that he had always been a domestic man, who knew how to enjoy a eaceful Christmas in the bosom of his famll ; at then he always went to sleep imm i- ately after dinner, and nobody ventured to wake him until the servants came in ’to prayers, afyer which he went to bed. “ Nothing ails me now, iiaryéhotgifig.” Lady Lisgard made a feint of smiling, but kept her eyelids shutl She did not dare to let her maid read what was written in her eyes. It is a pleasant sight, sa s Holy Writ, to see brethren dwelling toget er in unity ; but theéremark would not have been put on re- cord had the spectacle been a very common one. It 'is a sad confession to make, but I think most of us must own that the “ family gathering ” in the country even at Christmas- tide is not the most agreeable sort of social entertainment. There is too much predeter- mination to be jolly about such festivities, too much resolution to put up with Polly's temper and Jack’s rudeness, and to please grandpapa (who is funded at all hazards. h‘en we find ourselves in the up.train again after that domestic holiday-week, we are not alto ether displeased that it is over, and se- cre y congratulate ourselves that there has not ‘beena row.

Since they parted from one another un- der the ternal roof, their lines of life have diverge daily ; their interests, so far from being identical, have become antagonistic. Margaret is as nice as ever, but Penelope is not a bit improved, and yet one must seem to be glad to see one as the other. One must not only forgive, but forget; it is not (unhap- pily) necessary that we shonld be polite, but we must be afi'ectionateâ€"grandpapa will think it extremely odd if we are not “ gush- mg.” The Lisgard family circle was not large, though; as we have seen, there was room in it for died. 'eement; moreover, there was a “ dead set of domestic element, the consan. init being relieved by the presence of iss 'e Aynton.

With her white hands thus crosswise over her bosom, she looks, thinks the confidential maidâ€"for all the world like that Dame Regard in the chancel, by the side of whose marble conch her twelve fair children kneel, and take their mother’s ceaseless blessing. All twelve so near of an age, and so marvelloust alike, thanks to the skill of the scul tor, that one would have thought t_he who e dozenâ€"th that £0qu as her beloved mistress wall at least a; much mental asmsical. Once before, and only once, she known my Lady to be what females call “ overcome”â€"thst,wns upon the eve of her Marriage with Sir Robert ; there was much similarity betWeen the two attack, but the present was far more violent. In the first instance, she had been told byher Lady- ship that it was owing to “the heart,” which was fitting enough under her then circum- stancesâ€"but now when there was no bride- groom-expectant to flutter that organ, it did seem singular certainly. Doubtless her mis- tress would speak presently, and afford the fullest information; in the meantime there wlas nothing for it but silence and sal volay ti e. 1 lwhite and cold as the snow without, voice- ‘ less and almost breathless as hp: maid found her upon venturing to draw aide the heavy damask folds between them, inch a look of agenised apprehension fiat shag from her eyes as at once to prevent istr V Forest from puttin her design with res t to the bell into e ect; nay, more, ha assisted my Lady to the sofa, she rightl interpreted a second glance in the directio of the door, to mean “Lock it,” and this did even be- fore arranging the cushion ' which would have been the first action wi most persons of her class, Mary Forrest, though a bab- bler was no fool, and she perdeived immedi- ately: that the distress whiohfias agitating the gallery, beautifui texts in holly-berries set in green. As for the wall at the back of the altarâ€"the decorations there are such that it makes one cry to think they are ever to be 'taken down again. Oh, I do hope you will feel well enough, dear mamma, to come to church this afternoon and see them. " “Na , it‘s true, moutheri" broke forth Sir Richa . “I never could have dreamt of anything so beautiful bein made out of leaves and berries. The 06. church looks enchanted, and Miss Aynton is the fairy that has done it.” “Sir Richard suggested the centre design "Sir Richard 311 sated the centre desi himself,” returned se gravely ; “and e fact is, I am nothing but a. plagiarist in the whole afl‘air. Our curate 1n Park Street gives himself up to floral reli ion, and dresses up his church In a dozen di erent garbs ac- cording to the season. I am one of its volun- teer firing-women, and am therefore accus- tomed to the businessâ€"that is all. ” “Really, Lady Lisgar ," said Miss Ayn- ton, blushing deeply, and with her soft ‘6 es looking very much inclined to be 111, “you must not believe all that Letty’s kind- nesa‘indnces her to say ab0p_t_ mg.” “ Yes, mamma," broke in Lett ; " but it was very wicked of her not to te I Mr. Mos- ley, who came to thank her in the church- yard after service. He actuall made an allxmion to her in his sermonâ€"4a king about her ‘ pious hands.’ She never told him one word about this London curate.” Lett 's lau h rang merrily out as she thus twitte her fgi'iend, but her brothers did not echo it. Neither of them relished this men- tion 0f the Mayfair clergyman. They had each in turn enjoyed that religious work, in which they had been fellow-laborers with Miss. Aynton, and each perha s flattered himself that he had been most p eased when his own fingers were looping the berries for her, or holding the ivy while she fastened it in its place. Of course there was nothing serious between either of them and herself. Sir Richard would naturally look higher for a bride than to the dependent niece of a fickle old woman of fashion; while as to \Valter, with his comparatively small for- tune and ex ensive tastes, it was absolutely necessary that he should “marry money,” and not mere expectations. Still, no man is altogether pleased to hear that a young girl he admires is engaged to somebody else ; and although this had not been said of Rose, yet Mayfair curates are dangerous persons, and church-decoration (as they were aware by recent experience) is a fascinating occupa- tion when indulged in by both sexes at the same time. So Letty had all the laughter to herself. “ How strange it was to hear the geo 1e when they first came in,” continue s e. “Their ‘Ohs!’ and ‘Ahs !’ and ‘Well I ney'er‘s 1’, were quite irrepressible. ’_’ “ It is very honet of you to tell us that, Rose,” said my Lady approvingly. “ O mamma, you have missed such a sight !" cried she, as Lady Lisgard made her first ap aarance that momiug at the luncheon- table, ookin'g a little grave and pale, but gracious and dignified as a ueen in exile, as usual. “ Not only the c anuel, but the whole church a perfect bower of evergreens, and ever thing so exquisitely done!

And never had any- thing so beautiful been seen in the county, as the result of her efforts. So much was said of them that Letty had ventured to go to church that; morning, despite her'a‘ilmcnt, and was as earnest in her praise as an in the congregation. There was no such t ing as jealousy in her composition, and the success of her friend was 21 genuine pleasure to her. “'Yes, was'it not ahocking,rxfieifiina 2” ex- claimed Letty. “He spoke quite loud. “I shouldn’t su pose the creature had ever been in a. church efore.

Even Lady Lisgard forced herself to smile at the embarrassment of her handsome boy. But Sir Richard did not smile; he was not on sufficiently good terms with his younger bro- ther to enfoy even so innocent a joke at his expefise. _ ‘7 What strung er do you mean, my dear?” said my Lady (:9 dly.

Miss Aynton was evidently at» ‘ cusomed to suppression. It made a. man positively indignant to see one whose youth and intelligence entitled her to be the mis- tress of all who approached her, so humble, so unegotistic, so grateful. It was evident' that she had plenty of natural good spirits, 1 and every faculty for enjoyment,” if she only dared exhibit them. Her very accomplish- ments, which were numerous, were timidly concealed, and pceped forth one by one, al- most, as it eemed, by compulsion. She might have have left Mirk, for instance, without a soul knowing of her taste for code- siaatical decoration, if it had not been for a sore throat which prevented Letty from super- intending the Christmas ornanicntations in the chancel.

Henge German industry and com- merce are pmstmted, andworkingpeople suf- t“. Those who know say that France and Ger- many together have absorbed from other countries, in the last five years; no less than seven or ei ht hundred millions of gold. That is two iundred millions more than all the mines in the world have'produced in the same time, Add to that, then, the twenty per cent. used in the_manufacture of watches, Jewelry, 8w. Each nation holds all she can get, and grabs for more, because they fear each other. In Germany the old circulating medium was the silver thaler. Forty-two millions of a. population were satisfied with that stand- ard until after the late war. In 1871, along with the unity of the Empire, came a law, changing the standard to gold. France was conquered in the field, and must now be conquered in finance. Hence the adoption of Napoleon’s policy, and thepremium on gold. But France was twent' ears ahead, and had her vaults full. 11 he stru ’e, however, gold became more rare and vs. u- able, while silver sank in value. And here also is the primary cause of the depression in the United States, which has hung as a 1 over the land since 1873. It was first fe tin the fact that the American people became payers of tribute to European ca italists, and were oppressed with debt and t e results of outrageous speculations. As the European people and capitalists began to feel the dram on themselves, they required the pro- mised pay from their American debtors. Borrowmg was " played out,” and America ran shortâ€"hence the crash. Down came the paper house, and then followed the whole train“: of iconseqnent disaster.“ 7 7 r In the United States the standard coin was the old silver dollar. All bonds, until the late war, were issued under this-stand- ard, and interest was payable in silver. But in 1873rthe American Senate, in imitation of Bismarck, changed the standard from silvsr to gold. The silver dollar became then a “legal tendenj’wto the extent of only five dollars. Neither meme‘nor the Le ‘sla- tors could have understood at the tiiii the actual results of such a law, or they would not have been guilty of such folly. European capitalists chuckled over Uncle Sam’s fins!» cial polio , and were satisfied with the extra two hun red millions thus added to the value of the bonds they held, for, at a single stroke, eight per cent. had been added to the whole -â€"the difference between the silver and the gold dollars. The U. S. government may have gained in credit in the money market, but they certainly paid very dearly “ for their whistle.” Time alone willtell how the financial fight will turn, in the struggle of the United States with the wealthy nations of Europe for the possession of the gold. How dark the prospect must be can be seen in the fact that the governments of England, Ger- many and France do not owe a. single cent to a. foreign countr , while the United States y in hard gol every year, as interest on Binowed money, one hundred millions more than the yield of all the mines in California, and every gold-producing district in Uncle’s Sam's domain put together. fer.

In 1858 it was shown that, in the preceeding seven years, 175,000,- 000 of new gold had been drawn into France ; partly stored away and partly coined and put mto circulation. After fifteen years more of the same sucking process, and after the French Government had aid one thousand millions to Germany, the ank of France re- ports 350,000,000 francs now lying in her vaults in the shape of gold and silver b‘uL lion. In the last twenty years France must have taken at least $600,000,000 worth of gold from the rest of the world. 1n Frmcé, wiih its thirty-six millions, the circulating medium was silver almost exclus- ively, from the times of the dim long un- til the ear 1850.
