I t was * l i t t le ttttdjlo, estate 1 at t h e top of the honse. U p o n an easel that occupied the post of hbnor in the mid­dle of the room a largo piece ol can­vas g lowed with tho soi l t ints of a spring landscape, and Frank Seymour stood before it, pallet in hand, his large b r o w n e y e s dreamy with a sort, of inspiration.

In a comfortable easy chair by the door, sat a plump w o y . l i t t le -ftmalo, in a laco cap and plenty of narrow white ribbon fluttering from it, and silver gray , poplin .dress- Mrs. Sey­mour, in frnst, our artist's mother, who had just come from thel very' basement ' to setiKow FVank^wfti ge t t ing alo\)g.'

" Here, mother," said, the young man wi th^ni enthuajaatio spfttkle in his eyes , " jus t se,e tlvpiWay $ i o sunset liglit touches the topmost branches of the old apple trtfoi ITike the brown, subdued, gold;, pfthatj t i n ^ j . i t som<>-how remindB' • rrjf» of j (Jrnco Teller's hair." ;• "

Mrs. Seymour moved a little unotis-ily in her chair.

ft Y e s , it's v«*y pretty j but it strikes roc, Frank, you are lately dis­covering a good mafiy similitudes bo-(.ween Miss Toller and your pictures."

Frank l a u g h e d . g o o d humoredly. " AVcll, mother she is pretty."

" Yes, I don't deny that she is pret­ty enough."

" N o w mother, wiiat is the moaning of this ambiguous tone?" demanded the artist pleasantly. " W h a t liavo you discovered about JJUss; Grace Tell­er, that is noj'Oharming^, and womanly, and l ove ly?" ; •;

" Frank do you know who sho is ?" " Yes, I know that she *i8 a remark­

ably pretty girl, with a voico that sounds exact ly like trib soft ripplo of the rivulet where 1 used t o play when I was a boy."

" Nonsense !" said Mrs. Seymour sharply,

" Wel l , then, if you tiro not satisfied with my description of her as she is, would you liko to know what sho will be?"

Mrs. Seymour looked puzzled. " Mother, I think she will one day

become my wife." " Frank 1 Frank ! arf} you crazy ?" " Not that I know df,M said Mr.

Seymour composedly, squeoisiiig a lit­tle deep blue on his pallet out of a dainty tin tube, and mixing it thought­fully.

" W e know so little about her," though, Mrs. Seymour. " T o be sure, she is visiting Mary Elton, and Mary belongs to a very good family, if she does live in half a house and takes in line embroidery for a living. 15ut then she has no style at all, compared with Cynthia Parker, and Cynthia al­ways did fancy our Frank. Then, moreover, she has five or. six thousand dollars of h«r own. But , dear rao I a young man in love is the most head-. strong creature alive."

Grace colored. "HusjiicSB brought

The old lady took her leave stiffly, and did not ask Grace to return hor call, although she extended an invita­tion tb Mary, In the n>qst distinct teyns .

" Frank t" she ejaculated, never once stopping to remove shawl or bonnet, but bursting into his studio liko an express messenger of life and death, •' who do you supposo your paragon of a Miss Toller i s ? "

" Wel l , what of that r" " W h a t of tha t? Frank Seymour,

yon never mean to say that you would have anything to say to a common factory girl ?"

" I should pronouco her a very un­common factory girl," said the young-man, with aggravat ing calmness.

and then put on her mouse-colored silk bonnet and grey shawl, and set upon a tour of investigation. " I'll find out something abut Miss Teller, or I'll know the reason why ," thought the indefatigable widow.

Miss Grace Teller was at home, helping Mary Elton iu an elaborate piece of fine embroidery. The room whore the two girls sat was very plain, carpeted with the cheapest ingrain, and curtained with Very ordinary pink and white ohints, ye t it looked snug and chorry, for the fat blaokbird was chirping noisily in the window, and a stand o / tnignonotto and velvet blossomed pansics g a v e a delight fill tint to tho pretty pictnio of everyday life.

Mary E l ton was palo, thin, and not at all pretty : there w a a a tremulous sweetness about her mouth that e^om-od to whisper thatjshe might have been different under different oircumstancos. Grace Teller was a livoly blonde, with large blue eyes, rose leaf skin, and hair whoso luminous gold foil over her forehead like an aureola

A s Mrs. Seymour entered, a deeper shade of pink stole over Grace's beau­tiful checks but otherwise she was calm and golf-possessed', and readily parried tho old lady's interrogatories.

" V e r y warm this niornirig,*' said Cort land H. V- [ tho old lady, fanning hersolf. " D o

" I believe it is vory sultry In Fac-toryvil le ," said Grace, composedly ta­king' another needleful! of white silk.

" Faotoryvil le ! Is that your na-tivo placo ? Perhaps you know Mr. Parker—Cynthia Parker's fathcr-who is superintendent in the great calico mills there ?"

" Very we l l ; I have often scon him."

" A r e you acquainted with Cyn­th ia?"

women that evor breathed this terres­trial air, as well as one of the most beautiful. Mother, I lovo her, and sho has promised to be my wife."

Mrs. Seymour sat down, Jimp, life­less, and despairing.

" Frank! Frank ! I never thought to seo my son marry a factory g i r l ! " A n d then a torrent of tears name to her relief, while Frank wont off, quiet­ly touching up a scarlet foliage of a splendid old maplo in the foreground of his picture.

* * « '« a, •

GraocTcl ler had been oryiug r-thc dew was ye t wet on hor eyelashes, and the unnatural crimson upon hor' cheeks, as Frank Seymour oajfne inT and Mary Elton considerately slipped out, " to look for a miss ing pattern."

" So you are determined to marry me, Frank, in spite of everything V

"I should rather think so," said Frank, looking admiringly down on the golden head that was stooping among the pansics.

" But your mother thinks me far be­low you in social position."

" Social position be-—ignored. W h a t do I care for social position, as long as my little Grace has consented to make the sunshine of my home ?"

" Y e s ; one question, Frank—*'' " Wel l , Grace." " Do you really love me ?"

For an answer he took both the fair, delicate hands, in his, and looked steadily into her eyes.

" Frank," said Grace demurely, I'm afraid yon will make a very strong-willed, obstinate sort of a husband."

" I shouldn't wondor, Grace."

"COMK DOWN."-—-We (Galaxy) we re-

X i k o most sub-officials to whom some pressing final process is commit­ted, he had an itching palm, while, at the same time, it would not be exactly safo to show his hand too openly. On one ocosinon he had, for the third time been waited, upon by an impatient party, Jpterekvted in two important bills which had passed tho Legislature, and, wiWt sundry others, were awaiting tho Governor's signature. "Did you place my bills before hisKxpJolleuoy ?" asked the party of the secretary, / " N—n-k-not y e t , " said he, (ho had a slight i^pecUmcijt in his speech,) "u— not quiie y e t ; the G—g—Qvcrnor's v— veryhusy .

. I n commoroial circles, a t least, most erroneous views concerning the quali­ty^ consumption, present supply, a n d tho influence) of existing impost laws upon present prices, appear to prevail — a few of which are noticed, via-s >i: •' . 1. That the quality of American wool has dttiorated.-~lt has been bold­ly assorted that the dissemination of Amorioftii Merinos has boon injurious to the quality of the woo), i The m o s t j u d ^ o u s l y p r e ^ and ,,9t>reftiHy homed U i f t W ^ r r ^ h a y e , i n d ^ furniiRhed; v f y y . ^ ' y «9wsalij»4.:0B*^G*^», uoproftta-, ble to manufacturers on account of the lqSf .fo cleansing \{ b»lj ^>r ono ,oif theso there are aoores, if; n,<,t, hundrodH pf, their progeny^, wbo.se .^oojt is vast ly superior to that of their coarso-woolod ancestors, and of that quality most in demand at Aiuorjoan factories, aimwer-ing fbr. all except the,finest cloths, and. of suftioient length to becomo a sub­stitute for, combing wools in delaines. This breed has so.far effected a vast improyeme^tiupon the coarse (nongraJ, shoep opn,ftitHUtiBg th« great maas of fl9cks of former^ days- . Jt. j» not neo-. ess,ary to aflirm this foot before intelli­gent wopl-grqwisffl, but milMws of A^ericap.oitiw»f»^w<y he misled hy widely published statements of the in­ferior condition ,^f pur wool olip, re­suming from oroiwes of American Mo-rinos upon tho shoep of. the Wast.

9. The domettip wool is ittferior to foreign.-*-Tho very reverse of this statement is true. In strength of fibre and durability of fabric our home­grown wool is! far superior to that whioh is imported. Every manufac­turer who has tested the matter will corroborate tho statement. Writers in the foreign wool-selling interest free­ly declare that a proportion of foreign wool is necessary for mixing with the domestic, and that In its absence the manufacture of the homo-fleeces must decline. This statement is utterly er­roneous. Tho only pretoxt for it is in tho adaptation of machinery, in cer­tain factories, to this mixture. Every month is removing this mechanical impediment to tho supremacy of do­mestic wools. The progress of manu­facturers, in this rcspoct, has been won­derful tho past year. Cotswold and Leicestor combing wools are in fact scarce, but the deficiency can be easily supplied in a few years, and the inven­tion of manufacturers, impatient of delay, has found an excellent substi­tute in the long fibre of Merino grades, by the aid of changes in tho machine­ry by which it is wrought. V e r y lit­tle wool, except carnct grades, which are admitted with less duty than the wool-grower pays as taxes, is now re­quired by manufacturers from foreign sources. W h e n tho broadcloth man­ufacture shall be extended here, a finer Merino will bo wanted, and can be supplied without foreign aid.

8. That iee need neventy million of pound* of foreign wool t<^mpplement the domestic supply.—Tlic imports of all wools, in four years of war, were but sixty-three millions per year, with six millions of alrbddy—in all, more precisely, 279,188,049 pounds. In 1860 the imports were only half as much, and the home product but sixty mil­lions; the actual manufacture but eigh­ty millions. It is folly now to talk of sixty or seventy millions deficiency, when the trade is suffering from a sur­feit of wools and woolens, notwith­standing tho decrease of imports o f wool since the war. On the other hand, there are persons who prefer to believe that the domestic wool product is in excess of tho demand, a position equally unfounded.

4. That the recent law hm not bene­fited wool production and manufacture. —Tho close of the war found full sup­plies of woolen goods, and immense stores of unused army c lothing; and in anticipation of legislation affecting importation, nearly as many woolens were introduced, In a single year, as were imported during the entire period of the war. In this state of facts, ut­ter annihilation of wool growing and manufacturing was only prevented by the operation df the law in repressing further importation, and inspiring con­fidence in the future, when the im­mense surplus should be exhausted. It has produced all tho advantages that its most sanguino friends could claim f°r i-> 1" preventing in a large degree, rnirious depression and tho sac­rifice of flockB, and in paving the w a y for entire success in the future, Which shall benefit every interest of agricul­ture and every branch of industry.— Monthly Report of pepartment of Agriculture!

That young lad in this brief utter­ance, was really the, representative of the generation to whioh he belongs. God has so decreed it, that the father is the highest authority in the world to his child. W h o does not know that "At y father said so," is the end *>f all controversy with the little ones around' us ? W h o does not see the parent's tones, and gait, and manners, repro­duced continually In the children whose nature is now "soft as wax to recolyo an impression, and rigid as marble to retain i t;" aud who watch with a quiok and imitating eye, those who to them are God's vicegerents ?

Would that we could impress upon the fathers and mothers of this coun­try the solemn fact, that tho future character of the children it being form-od by them. That, if they aro train­ed up in the way they should go , when they are old they will not depart from it. But, that if they -become vain, sensual and degraded, the seeds will have been deposited, and the bins giv­en in the early morning ol tlieii lives. —Ark . Christian Adovcaie.
