OUR OWN.
‘ If I had known in the morning
How wearily all the day
The unkind words would trouble my' mind
That I said when you Went away.
I had been more careful, darlin‘g,
Nor givenyou needless pain ;_
But we vex our own with look and tone
We may never take back again.
For though in the quibt evening
You may give me the kiss of peace,
Yet it well might be that never for me
The pain of the heart shOuld cease!
How many go forth at morning
Who never come home at night!
And hearts have broken for harsh words
_ spoken,
That sorrow can ne’er set right.
We have careful thought for. the stranger,
And smiles for the sometime guest; '
But oft for own the bitter tone,
Though we love our own the best.
Ah !- lips with the curve impatient,
Ah ! brow with the shade of scorn,
’Twere a cruel fate were the night too late
To undo the work of morn!

“Hush,-Caroline. I wish to speak serious
ly to you on a subject I know you dislike.
But how can I avoid doing it, when I see
just as Itold you! He has danced 'tbree
times with her already 1"
“Who is .‘hc ?’ ” asked Mrs. Har’ewood,
‘rather‘ provokiugly. , ’
“Sir Stephen Dashwood of "course.”
“0h! And‘shet’”
“Why, Of course, Miss Barlow.”
“Three times already! That is rather
strong.” And witha laugh she turned to
some one else. , .
However, she kept-her eye on them, and
wastelieved to see Sir Stephen dbncing .
with'Miss Ashley. That did not last long,
and she saw him dancing again and again
with Aimee. Then at last they went to
supper together, and . Mrs. Harewood
thought it was quite time toputa stop to
it. As soon as Aimee returned to her neigh-
borhood, she went to her, and said, “Aimee,
my dear, you must not dance any more
with Sir Stephen Das‘hwood. You need
not blush so much ; I dare say you did not
know it was wrong to make yourself cou-.
spieuous.” ' '

chance of happiness ?" _
“I beg your pardon, mamma, if you mean
'Sir Stephen Dashwood. It’s the greatest
nonsense I ever heard. He does not care
tor me in the least.” '
“He does. But he can not showit while
your manner to him is so cold.”
“He’s desperately in love with Miss Bar.-
low, so that settles the question"
“Impossible! that sort of thing' never
happened out of a novel!” ' -
“I believe many a poor governess do de-
lude themselVes with wild ideas ofromantic
heroes, but Miss Barlow is very different. '
She is going into the world bravely, with-
out any nonsense in her head, and I think
she will be rewarded at once by meeting a -
sensible man‘who can 'see and appreciate.
the beauty of her character.” _
, Mrs. Ashley was not in the least touched
by this outburst.
“I don’t believe it," she said. Sir Ste-
phen is far too much a man] of the world
to do any thing so foolish.’, .
“I don’t think it foolish. But I really can
not stay any longer. I am sick of Sir Ste-
phen’s name.” And Caroline made good
her retreat at last.
Mrs. Ashley. in wild despair, hurried to
Mrs. Harewood’s boudoir.”
“Oh, my dear Mrs. Harcwood, such dread-
ful news! Caroline tells me Sir Stephen is
“What nonsense!” Mrs. Harewood
answered, adding, rather sharply, “How
came she to say any thing on such a sub-V
ject ?” > ' _
“Why, hermanncr to him is so cold I

“The idea is absured. He has far too
much sense even to have thought. of any
such thing so ridiculous. " .

looked so haughty and unsympathetic that

She did not speak to Sir Stephen either
before‘ or during dinner; but the moment
her. ,
She really looked beautiful. The sim-
beauty, and her hair did credit to Miss
Ashley, who. had felt a little sad, and very
much amused, as she wreathed‘ those white
roses for her unsuspecting rival.
Aimee had seated herself on a sofa by

Sir Stephen drew a chair behind the sofa
and half turning his back onCaroline, be,-
gan to talk to Aimee, and in ' such a low
voice that she'could nothear what he said,
which was a great ‘aggravation.
The first thing he did was to give Aimee
a card, saying, “I am so glad Mary insis-
ted on having cards, to be quite like a
‘real ball.’ , - '
Now, may I put my name down)” ,
He held out his hand and took it as he
spoke, and whenhe restored it'Aimee was
surprised to see how often he :had written
his name. , ,
“You do not think it too many, I hope?”
he asked, as he saw her expression.
“I didnot know if it was right. This is
my first ball, you know. Is he right ‘1!” she‘
asked suddenly, looking him full in the
face.
"‘Qnite," he answer-ad, adding to him-
self, ‘.‘I will make it so.’.’.
"How little We have seen of each other
the last few days i”. he continued, after
looking around and seeing Miss Ashley
was talking to some one. “I am afraid I
“have not been of much use to you.”
“Ithink it is very stupid of gentlemen ’
to shoot all day
'didly. -
“Not always. BntIdid not think it a
horrid bore to-day and yesterday,” he said,
in a marked tone that Aimee was too ig-
norant to appreciate. ' - '
“Tomorrow, I believe, the ladies are
coming out to lunch with us,‘ so that will
be a degree better. And, alas! it is my-
last day, for I find I must go home on Fri-
day." , . ‘
This was quite true, but he mentioned it
_ now to see how Aimee would take it.
Tears dimmed her eyes for a moment,
but shesa-id, bravely, “I am so sorry. I
shall miss you so much.” '
“Don’tlct‘s think of it now. To-night,
happily, Ineed not play at whist, so I
mean to enjoy myself. Will you come?
They aregoing to begin the first dance."
That night was strange bliss to Aimee.
She danced beautifully; and’Eir Stephen
who had done the same in his early youth,
found hehad not forgotten the art. . _
Dance followed dance. Sir Stephen cast
all scruples to the wind, and Aimee, child-
'ishly trustful _in him, nmde no remon-

pondering over this dilemma, she heard his

'Aimee, and I must beg you will behave dif-
ferently to her in. future.’
“But," faltcred Aimee, “I am engaged to
him for several more dances.”
‘You must make some excuse. You can
not dance with him any more. Don’t look
so wretched, poor child; of course, you
know no better, andl shall speak to him
to-morrow.’ '
This promise did not console Aimee in
the least, and she stood, naturally wishing
that the floor would open and swallow her
and her confusion. She could not fly to
A

‘I should think so, as Mary is going.’
_ ‘Then I shall try to speak to her then. I‘

for Aimee; but have you thought enough

RUSSIAN COUNTERFEI’I‘EBS.
rrvs. HUNDRED or Tums oN Tam. Arorvcu.
' A gigantic, trial was concluded at Mos-
cow, in Russia, on the 21st of Nevenlber, in
which were arraigned five hundred prison-
ers, upward of two hundred of whom were
convicted and'sentenced to cruel penalties.
Among the accused were persons of cfery
sfation in -life4gray-haircd linen and youths,
men and women; among the latter some ,
highly accomplished and prepossessing in
appearance. _. All the prisoners were charg-
ed with ope sin—that of counterfeiting.
That code says: “The person that counter-
feits the coin or cilrrencey of the Imperial
government‘shall suffer death.” ‘N otwith-
staudingthis rigorous prOvision, Russia has
been-1 flooded {for several years past with
counterfeits Of the ' government treasury
notes. Offers of the largest rewards did not
lead to the detection of the guilty parties.
, At length, in 'July a curious accident gave
the government the long-looked for clue,
which led, to the discOvery, of an associa-
tion of criminals of both sexes, handed -,to-,
gether for the purpose of circulating spur-
ious currency, and which extended from the
dozen shores of the White sea to the Volga
and the Black sea. In the coarse of'the two
following months. three thousand men and
women ’werearrested ; but, aftera pretrial»

the latter were six Frenchmen Of St. Peter's-

grand~ review of 1865. «The? government.
troops stationed in'thc vicinity; will, for the
first time, appear in their new. uniform.
The force, however, is somewhat small, con-
sisting of two batteries of heavy artillery at.
Fort McHenry, Maryland; one at Fort Foot
and one at Fort Washington, Maryland.
The Marine 'Guard at the barracks and navy
yard will also have a place in' the proces-
sion. The attendance of volunteer soldiers
will- doubtless be large, several regiments
from New York and Philadelphia having al-
"l"eady signified their intention ”of being
present on that occasion. . ’

It was a strange, wild place, close to the
sea, amid rocks and bogs and utter desola-
tion. Near it stood the wreck of a roofless
church, and the. yet older ruin of some
_Dauish_pirates’ nest. . The shadowy form of
the brigantine was visible ;through the gray
. sheet of falling rain, at anchor in the harbor,
and from the rocks in (the entrance came
the moaning of the Atlantic swell. Morty,
looking for no visitors on such a night, had
neglected to post sentinels.» , The house was‘
surrounded, and the wolf wits trapped. The
dogs inside was the first to take the alarm. ‘
A violent barking was heard, aud'then sud-
denly the door was :t-hl'own open; Morty
appeared in ,his shirt, firedfa blunderb‘uss at
the men who werezueargstghlm and retired.
A volley‘of-small arms followed from the
windows andslitsin the wall. One soldier
was killed and three others wounded- The
strictest orders had been? :given to take
Morty if possible alive, and the fire was not
at first returned.‘ The;houae, was evidently
full'of men; eighteen of them bolted, one
after the other, in the hopes of drawing off
the troopsfinto pursuit._ Each, however,

An only boy, a common fate, _
Did tumble down and. bump his pals. '
'What’s to be done i" mumma cries. What !
Cold water? _No-'—-’tis better hot. ‘
Eler kisses toassuage the pain
Are all administered invain.

A remedy from every voice
Causes embarrassment ofchoice.
Old nurse appears among the flutter,
And cries imperatively, “Butter!”
:Her sage advic'e they promptly take—-
His front is buttered like a cake;
No remedy could be more pat;
He calmly,dozes after that,
'he mother watches in suspense, '
she’s gréted with a cheerful smile ;
“My dear mammu, yOu must net mind,
Good little Topsey’s' been so kind;
For when I showed her where I fell,
~
‘he kissed the place and made it well. ‘
Thus actions often gain applause.
When selfish motives-are the cause.
If Topsey all the truth'could utter, _
The only love was love for butter.
