There had been oranere-babasoms, and white aat in, and a wedding ring; turkey, champagne, and emotion, and the newly breveted Mrs. Artunr Jioabdu, nee Thompson, was steppingfaito the car riage in a traveling suil (the loveliest thing, ashes of roses., eves to her boot?, as she said) , when Aunt Baker, one of your women with fearfully common- senna views, and a natural . ability to .make other people's f preserves, and nurse their children, stepped up to her. "Good-bye, Amina. When the honey moon is over I will come and see you. "We will give the new-made matron's answer in her own words, taking them from a letter of twenty pages, written to her bosom friend, Lizzie Way he: "Imagine my feelings, darling! I couldn't offend Aunt Baker, you know, v because what with mamma's nerves, and our wretched seamstress, if it hadn't been for her I don't know how my ward robe eyer would have been finished ; for ofoourse I could do nothing bat I looked my indignation, and answered in the words of that dear, delightful Mr. Rochester, in 'Jane Eyre: 'Then you will never coma at all, Aunt Baker, for it will shine over oar graves.' Would you believe it, Lizzie, darling! Aunt Baker smiled, that dreadful smile of hers, as much as to say; 'Go on, poor butterfly, till you scorch yonr wings Just as if I was a child, instead of a mar ried woman, and wasn t positively sure that Arthur and I couldn't love each other more than we do, and that there wasn't any possibility of a change. I would far rattier sue bad boxed my ears; but, of course, you know, I couldn t do anything, only nay: 'Good-bye, Aunt Baker, as Bweetly as I could, and drive - away. I wish she hadn't smiled, though, she haH such an uncomfortable way of beiDg always in the right. Her words have been perfect Mordecais in the gate of my palace of pleasures. They have spoiled all my enjoyments, and, Lizzie, dear, I know it's all nonsense, but do yoa think our honeymoon will ever wane?' - a- ' t -wr m i ll 1.1 juss juizzie w ayiie receiveu mis let ter while Mrs. Boabdil was on her bri dal tour. Iu the course of time, Mr. and Mrs. Boabdil settled themselves in a cottage a short distance up the Hudson, but no more treble-stamped envelopes reached Miss Lizzie, though three months had elapsed, when Mr. Boabdil pushed back his coflee cup, and looked severely at poor little Mrs. Boabdil, snaking be hind the urn, at the other end of the table. "Amina.V he said, with emphasis, "this cahuot last. I have pointed out to you the fact that our whole future hap piness is at stake. I have represented to you that trifles are the bridges from one Dhase of hanniness to another. I have devoted my time and energies to the ar duous task of forming your character. We now ' have been married i three months, and I still find you untracea ble, unconvinced, obstinate; and I say again, this cannot last. j MrS. Boabdil dropped her bread and butter, and raised her handkerchief to her eyes. Mr. Boabdil, who was watch ing her, pushed back bis chair and took his stand on the hearthrug, with his back to-the mantel and his hand? in his pockets." VIM only knew how to suit you,'' sniffed Mrs. Boabdil. "Is there anything easier?" he deman ded, severely. . "I ask you simply for rare steas ana wen muue conee. ii is brought on actually brown, and I find there ar ' four tablepoonf uls of coffee used instead of three, as I ordered. Pour, Mrs. Boabdil and heaped j up at Lnf ' i But this urn, that you will use is of no value." j "And why not, madam? An jl not master of my own house? If I choose to use it, is not that quite sufficient? Things are getting down to a very fine point, I think." - I 1 do not mean that. I only wish to say" . "Oh! quarreling are you? ; Very well, madam. You know my mind on that point perfectly. I have always said that if diseussions must arise between - my wife and myself, the sooner we part the better; You will order Mary to get out my trunk and see that it is packed by three o'c'ock this afternoon.' I must have peace, at whatever cost it Is ob tained." j . Aa since the first week of their return, . the said trunk had been brought Idown regularly from its resting place iti the attic, three times a week, bureau drkwers revolutionized, pantaloons and cravats stowed away with an emphasis,! and John ordered to be in readiness to carry it to the depot at three o'clock, apparent ly for the sole.pnrpose of keeping Mrs. Boabdil in hYstftrir - handkerchief in the wash; as Mr. Boab dil had never yet spent a night from home, it might have been imagined that the fwonld receive the announcement wich tolerable composure; but whatever energy of purpose or force of character were destined to develop themselves in -Mrs. Amina . Boabdail, nee Thompson, she was at present only, a little dove eyed, peacn -checked, cotton-wool-and-wax sort of woman, with a strong, ten dency to tears and cambric handker chiefs --f which latter resources she im mediately availed herself. "Another of yonr pernicious habits, madam," commented Mr. Boabdil, se cretly hugging himself with delight at the effect of his determined measures. "When will yon ever have any firmness? How often shall I be obliged to remind you that the days or your babyhood are passed, and that you are, or ought to be, A woman?" "I thought you said I was so obsti. nate," whined Amina. "So you are," he returned, reddening and spluttering. ' "Obstinate as a mule, and -why, how are you, Mrs. Baker? I am very glad to see you." And undoubtedly he was. for he was sorely puzzled. Aunt Baker looked jat the breakfast ta ble, the sobbing Amina, and the splut tering Boabdil, in evident astonishment, i Poor little Mrs. Boabdil. hastily wiped her eyes, and came forward, trying to smile. , "Dear Aunt Baker, I am so glad to see you. l nave snob a shocking headache, and I am such a silly, nervous creature, I was crying about it." "Amina, exclaimed her husband in his deepest bass! "When will you ever be truthful? My wife has no headache at all, Mrs. Baker. The plain truth of the matter is, I am forming her charac ter, and she takes it very hard, and re sents my efforts as aotual injuries. It is in vain for me to say to her, 'Amina, you are a perfect child, you know you are You have always been petted and spoiled, and need the guidance of strong will and great common sense to make a woman of vou.' She is deaf t all my arguments, and treats me to this sort of scene every time I open my mourn ; so mat, were not my duty superi or to all other considerations with me, 1 should give up in despair. "And vou are sure you are pursuing the best method?" asked Aunt Baker, quietly. "sure? .Positive ma am. Unly way in the world only way in the world ma'am. Be a perfect child all her life if I don't. Good morning, ma'am Amina, be sure that the trunk is ready precisely at three. Amina sank down on a footstool &nd buried herself again in the depths of her handkerchief. Aunt Baker waited till from the window, she had seen Mr, Boabdil quite out of the gate. Then she seated herself beside her niece and drew the pretty little auburn head down in her lap. j "Now, you little goose, what is it al about, and what has become of the honeymoon that was to shine over your "Oh ! don t, please don t, Aunt Baker, sniffed Amina, "There is no honey moon at all, and it s perfectly dreadful and it gets worse all the time. He wil go awa? this time: I know he will, never have seen him so dreadfully in earnest before, and I shall die if he does!" "No you won't," returned Aunt Baker i "you are worth twenty dead women yet Bat why is Mr. Boabdil going away? "Oh! everything goes wrong; and I m sucn a silly, foolish thing, l can t help it; and he likes his steak just so; and the cook says there must some of it be done; and he hates weak coffee, and three tablespoonfuls isn t enough lor that dreadful urn, and he won't allow four. And then you see, AunLBaker this is a dear little place, with a lawn in tront, and creepers, and vines, and things, but the rooms are so small you can't turn ronnd in them; and though the kitchen is as romantic as can be, and looks out in an arbor on the top of rocks the cook isn't satisfied and is all the time giving warning; and Arthur isn't half as kind and attentive as he used to be. You know how he used to be at parties why he never ate a thing himself, he was so busy holmng me; and only two day af te we were married, there was a plate of chicken salad right in front of him and I had to ask him for it three times before he helped me, though he knows that is my weakness. Bat I bore it in silence, and wasn't going to tell it, even to Lizzie, because I know it is a woman' duty to suffer, and there are some griefs that are sacred. But wasn t it hard? "Dreadful," returned Aunt Baker gravely. - And then went on Amina, warming: "He wouldn't even let me write to Lizzie, but took away my pens and paper, and he says a married woman oughtn't to have friendships; and that the less you have to do with anybody that you ever knew or liked before mar riage tne better; because, he says, 'a woman must leave father and mother ana cleave to her husband, is it so in your Bible, Aunt Baker? I can't find it in mine. "We will look for it by-and-by," said Aunt Baker, with difficulty preserving her gravity. ".But is this all? ' "AH? oh! dear, no! I was so silly cried when he scolded; and then he said I was a child and didn't manage the house rightly; and he goes into all the closets and finds such dreadful things and he savs l am so extravagant I am ruining him; aid that he has made up his mind not to live with a woman who can't make him happy ; and he has had his trunk packed, oh, so many times and l nave had to cry and go down on my knees to keep him. But I never saw him so determined bA he is now ; and J'm sure he will go this time and oh, Aunt Baker, what shall I do?" "Barn all your handkerchiefs, or make a vow not to use them for the next six months," returned Aunt Baker, with sudden energy. 'Ba blind, dumb, deaf; do anything but cry. Your husband wished you to be a woman; prove that Jou are one by listening to his ridicu ous and unjust accusations in unmoved silence." ' "Aunt Baker!" "Yes, I say . ridiculous and unjust, Mrs. Boabdil. This man comes and takes a silly little thing, just out of 8chool,with neither sense nor experience, and expects her at once to assume the responsibilities of a woman to have more tact, discretion and patience, than himself, to forget without an effort ail the ties of her girl-life, and to bear with his whims with the equanimity of a woman who had learned to despise them. Because you can't do all this he storms and packs up his trunk, and you dear littlo fool that you are cry! i declare, I lose all patience when I think of it, and would like to take you. both and whip you soundly." But, Aunt Baker, what in the world can I do?" "Do you really want to know?" "Why, of course I do." "And will you try it if I tell you a method to cure your husband of packing his trunk three times a week?" "Yes." "Well, then, pack it for him." "Aunt Baker!" "Go up stairs and pack it for him. Put in the coat and pantaloons first. Don't leave out so much as a cravat ..be longing to him. Strap it up and have it ready for him by three o'clock," said Aunt Baker, deliberately. -"But he will go." "No, he won't. He ain't such a goose as you are." ! Amina looked donbtfully into Annt Baker's eyes for a few moments. "I will go and do it now,", she ex claimed, starting up suddenly. Aunt Baker nod led and followed her up stairs. There stood the trunk. Amina seized on a coat and pitched it in. "Bravo!" saiil Ann f. Ti "uou pairs Ul pRUUUUUQI IOl" Jowed. Then Amina was seised with re- entings. 'Aunt Baker, if be should go 1 should never forgive myself." "You little simpleton, go on, I tell saw 1 you. xou wont lose your precious treasure." In went the rest of the things, and with a sigc Amina strapped aud locked the trunk. Then commenced Aunt Baker's troubles. Twenty times the soft-hearted Mrs. Boabdil started to un pick it, and as often Annt Baker held her back. Three o'clock came at length, and with it Mr. Boabdil, to her intense relief and the secret consternation of Amina, who quaked inwardly as she sat on the sofa in peach-blossom dress, with her hair neatly arranged, and embroidering as diligently as though the chief end of her lie was to finish the tip cf at. Anthony s aose before supper-time. "Is that trunk ready? demanded Mr. Boabdil, with a quick, amazed glance. , "Yes; here is the key and John is waiting at the door with the wagon,' said Amina, with a tolerable affectation of indifference. "Oh! ah! hum! Did you put in my gray suit? "I packed everything that, belonged to you. Will you have lunch before you go?" "I, ah no, thank you. "He is going!" she. exclaimed, hister ically, starting up as he left the room. "Yes, to send off John," laughed Aunt Baker. "Sit down and keep cool. Tea time came. The two ladies seated themselves at table. When it was half over, in walked Mr. Boabdill. "Why, aren't you gone?" inquired his wife, who began to enter into the joke "Mary, set a plate for Mr. Boabdil. thought you were off by this time ' "I I? It was so late, I concluded not to go, stammered Mr. Boabdil. Amina looked over at Aunt Baker, She was as grave as judges are, or ought to be. After supper she stole up to her room. The clothes were carefully re placed in the drawers, and the trunk was in the attic, where it has rested ever since undisturbed even by a mention o ics name. Soldiers Return from the War. The prompt and decisive manner in which the war between England and Egypt was terminated, excited the won der and admiration of the whole world Next follows the happy return of the victorious forces. Upon the arrival at Portsmouth and Gosport of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, such a wel come was extended as is hitherto un known in English history. We make a brief quotation from the voluminous re ports as published in part, beoause Mr. Mumby, who figured so conspicuously in this connection, was the friend, and for many years the perceptor and em ployer of our fellow citizen, Mr. Fabian Byerly, of the drug firm of Piummer & Byerly. As Col. LeGrand came forward at the head of his men, volley after vol ley of cheers assailed him, and his gal lant following. At the entrance to the triumphal arch the white-heimeted war riors were formed into a hollow square, bayonets were fixed, and the officers hav ing complied with the ordor to the front, Mr. C. Mumby, the chairman of the Alverstoke Local Board, followed by the members of that body, stepped into the center of the space. Col. Worthy Ben nett thereupon said: "Mr. Mumby, and members of the Averstoke Local Board, I have much pleasure in introducing Col. LeGrand to you on his return from Egypt." When the cheering which en sued had subsided, Mr. Mumby, amid reiterated shouts of enthusiasm, said: We, the members of the Alverstoke Local Board, representing the town of Gosport, hasten to welcome your coming home to this ancient town on your re turn from the War in Egypt, and to offer you our heartiest congratulations upon the important and successful part you have taken in the engagements of that war. In this marvellously brief and de cisive campaign the skill of the British officers aud the progress of the British soldiers have been conspicuously dis played. Under the most trying circum stances, both as to climate and nountry, you have carried out the operations of the war with a courage and endurance never surpassed in the history of the British Army. We, the inhabitants of this town and parish, notice with the greatest pride and satisfaction that the highest military authorities and the principle organs of public opinion de clare that in this war, in which all arms of the Service have exerted themselves to the best of their ability, if any of the forces deserves special mention, you, the Royal Marines, deserve that special praise. Although not belonging to the Regular Army, you have fought side by side with our soldiers with the highest distinction. Your special training en ables you to serve your country "per mare, per ter ram," and whether on the sea or on the land you have always done yonr duty nobly, and" now your achieve ments at Alexandria. Kassassin, and especially at the storming of Tel-el-Kebir, will add new laurels to your already illustrious history. We cannot forbear to mingle a note of sorrow with our words of congratulation. We deeply mourn the loss you have sus tained in officers, non-commissioned officers and men, and we would specially refer to our common loss of a soldier and a citizen in the death of Major Strong, who fell while gallantly leading bis men to victory into the trenches of Tel-el-Kebir. Our consolation is, and we are sure it is yours also, that both he and the brave men who fell with him died in the noblest service, the service of their country. And now, on your return from the hardships .and perils of war, we hope yon will enjoy the comforts and bless ings of peace, and we are quite sure you will receive, as you so richly deserve, the lasting gratitude of your country. In reply, Colonel LeGrand said: I thank you most heartily, not only on be half of the For ton division, but on be half of the whole corps, for the very handsome reception you have given us. I can assure you that we never dreamt even in your wildest flights of imagina tion that our reception would be sueh as it has been to-day. The first thought we always had was to do our duty, and I am glad you have recognized that; but there has been another ! thought that was eon current with the former.and that was the thought. "What will they say in Eng land?" Yon have heard now, lads, what; they say in England, and I feel only too proud to be your spokesman on this oc casion. I would that some who are not here to-day could see the honor that is showered upon us. I feel I cannot be equal to the occasion in thanking you, as I do one and all. We baye been now your fellow citizens for nearly forty years, and during that time I hope each year has been a credit to us, and that each year has increased our regard for the good town of Gosport, and this day will be deeply engraven on our memor ies. I wish we eould all have come back. But there are the chances of war and we cannot htlp them. I wish I eould say more, but we have, you know, okW claims upon us. We wish to get back to our wives, andthose of us who have them to our families; while those who have neither have others they wish to see. i again, therefore, thank you most heartily in the name of the Forton Divi sion of the Royal Marine Light Infantry for the reception yon have given us. Now, lads, I want you to give three hearty cheers for the lock, stock and barrel of Gosport. and one for I need noi say who. Now one for the ladies." The cheers were given with a will and the speech was greeted with frequent outbursts of applause. Ouc-Thousaud-Miie Tickets. The New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad Company, familiarly known to the public as the Erie, bs put on sal at its principal ticket offices one thousand-mile tickets, at the rate of two cents a mile a large reduction from the regu lar rates. Under the railroad laws of tho ntates of New York. New Jersey andl Pennsylvania, the company is authorized to charge from three to three and a half cents a mile for carrying passengers. In deference, however, to a frequently ex pressed desire on the part of its local patrons for a lower rate of fare for those whose business or inclination takes them frequently over the road, these new tickets have been issued. Ordinarily, these tickets are available only for use by the person to whom issued, and whose name appears on the face of the ticket; but, when the head of a family buys a "mileage book, the book- may also be used by the members of the family, so that, if the wife "or daughter want to go shopping of visiting, they can use the book as a family pass, the conductors detaching coupons corresponding with the number of persons traveling together and the distance travelled. In the same way, if a mileage book is bought by any business firm. It can be used by any member of firm not more than one at a time. They are recommended as likely to be useful to lawyers going to court, to physicians, contractors and Summer travelers. A very liberal time allowance is made in which the mileage books may be used. They are good ior a year from the date of purchase. The one-thou-and-mile ticket of the Erie road seems to be the embediment of all the praise worthy features of cheap travel ; and the members of every household aud busi ness establishment, from end ' to end of the road, will now be able to travel more and for less money, than ever before.: N.
