“I am told,” replied Aunty Jones, “ that Willy 
bit. Katy’s finger very badly; and that Mrs. Fky 
bad to box his ears several times, very severely 
before he would let go. If this is the case — and 
Willy admits that he did bite the linger—can you 
greatly wonder at Mrs. Fry. Reverse the case.— 
Think how you would act, if you were to find a 
neighbor's child biting Willy’s linger, and screain- 
Would you stay your hand an in- 
her departure, Annty Jones had another call. It 
was from a neighbor in the opposite interest — a 
friend to Mrs. Fky, whose house she had left a 
little while before. Her version of the affair dif¬ 
fered considerably from that given by Mrs. Bi.akk, 
with the exception of the part about Mrs. Linoen’s 
indignation visit to the house of Mrs. Fry— which 
was given with some added incidents and a higher 
coloring. 
“Mrs. Fry did just as I would have done, had I 
been in her place,” said she warmly. “The chil¬ 
dren were playing together, when Mrs. Fky heard 
her little Katy scream out suddenly; running into 
the garden, 6he saw Willy Lingen with her tinger 
in his mouth. He had got angry wilh her about 
someihing, and snapped at. her Unger like a dog! 
Mrs. Fry caught hold of him, aud ordered him to 
let go instantly. But the young savage held on,

The countenance of Mrs. Lingkn fell. All in¬ 
dignation died out of her heart* She stood re¬ 
buked in the presence of Aunty Jones, like one 
convicted of a great wrong. 
“ Would you, Mrs. Lingkn?” Aunty Jones pres¬ 
sed her last query. 
“No, not lor an instant!” was the firm reply. 
A broad smile lit up the fine face of Aunty 
Jones, as she reached out her hand and said— 
"There spoke out the true woman! I knew 
your heart was in the right place. And I have 
not lost faith in Mrs. Fry*. Neither of you is capa¬ 
ble of wantonly hurting a child—neither of wan¬ 
tonly outraging the other. There does not exist 
the slightest reason why yon not Bbould be friends 
as of old.” 
"Oh, yes there does,” was firmly answered. 
“What reason?” 
“I don’t believe she will ever forgive me for 
what I said to her, yesterday, in the heat of passion.” 
"Yes she will. Leave that to me. When she 
understands how the matter was presented to your 
mind, she will not wonder that you were provoked; 
and the slightest apology on your part, will make 
all right again.” 
“ I can’t believe it,” said Mrs. Linqen. 
“ I am sure of it,” replied Aunty Jones, confi¬ 
dent! y. 
And, in less than an hour, she had the two old 
friends face to face again, bathed in tears of recon¬ 
ciliation. 
Blessings on Aunty Jones! She was the peace¬ 
maker of Bloomiugdale. Neighbors would fall 
out, and busy-bodies would make wider every 
breach; but Aunty Jones waa always true to her 
mission — always on hand to throw oil upon the 
troubled waves of passion. She knew that there 
was honor, and truth, and right purposes in every 
heart, as well as selfishness and blind passion; and 
her hands never rested when she saw the latter 
obscure the former, until the dimningveil was rent 
asunder. 
Would that every village and neighborhood had 
its Aunty Jones.

This portion of the “air tee breathe ” performs a 
very important part in the economy of natuve,— 
Without it both vegetable and animal life would 
soon cease to be, and our beautiful earth become 
a dreary waste. The living plant consists of water 
to the amount of nearly three-fourths of its weight, 
and from the surface of its leaves water is contin¬ 
ually rising into the air in the form of invisible 
vapor. Were the air perfectly dry this process of 
evaporation would he too rapid—the soil and roots 
would he unable to supply the demand—and the 
plant would become flaccid, droop aud die. The

thought of the process of prepar tion and distil¬ 
lation? Who has not noticed, when vegetation 
has drooped beneath tire burning rays of the suu, 
what a renewal of life takes place amid the dark¬ 
ness of night,? When the sun has sunk beneath 
the horizon, and coolness revisits the earth, and 
the plant, the grateful dew descends upon the green 
leaf and the thirty soil — the moisture thickens 
into mist and settles, scattering tiny pearls over 
everything, imparting freshness and renewing 
vigor. 
When the surface of the earth upon which the 
hot sun has all dayHhone, radiates the heat thus 
received, the air in contact with it also becomes 
cool aud loses a portion of the watery vapor it 
previously contained. Many of our young readers 
have noticed that in a warm arid sultry day, when 
a pitcher is filled with cold water, moisture col¬ 
lects upon the outside, sometimes completely cov¬ 
ering the vessel, aud have often heard the expres¬ 
sion “ How the pitcher Bsveats!” In both cases 
the reduction of the temperature condenses the 
moisture and precipitates it. 
Dillerent substances radiate their heat with 
greater or less rapidity, some cooling long before 
others. Those which cool first attract the dew 
first, aud consequently receive the greater portion 
of the descending moisture. The grass-plot will 
be wet while the gravel walk remains dry. the 
pasture and the leaf will be drinking in life and 
strength long before the dusty road or naked soil. 
From this atmospheric store proceeds also our 
rain. In the upper regions of the atmosphere 
currents of cold air are constantly coming from 
the north, while from the south waim winds blow. 
When these currents come in contact, and are 
charged with moisture, they mix aud the air has 
the mean temperature of the two. Air of this 
temperature is incapable ol holding the mean 
amount of water contained by both and it falls in 
rain. 
of Mrs. Fry,” was answered with considerable 
warmth. “Suppose it had been your child instead 
of Mrs. Fry's, wouldn't you have boxed the ears 
of the young savage who was hit jug her fiuser to 
compel him to let go? My word for il.you would. 
Aunty Jones, you are not a stock or a stone,” 
But Aunty Jokes admitted no imaginary action 
of her own by way of justification in the case of 
Mrs. Fryl Bbe had only regrets to utter. Before 
night, several neighbors called in to talk the mat¬ 
ter over with Aunty Jones, each one having a 
slightly different version of the affair, and each 
being warmly committed to one side or the other. 
Mrs. Fkich always knew that Willy Lingkn was 
one of the worst children in Bloomiugdale, and as 
for his mother, it was only necessary to look into 
her lace to see that she was a Tartar. For her 
part, she fully justified Mrs. Fry, and had told her 
so. Mrs. Camp had seen Mrs. Lingen, and exatn- 
ainined poor, dear Willy's head. None hut a 
savage, in her opiuion, could have so cruelly mal¬ 
treated a child. It was well known that Mrs. Fry- 
whs a woman of most ungovernable temper, and 
beat her own children awfully. Indeed, she had 
heard it whispered—aud she repeated the rumor 
iu a confidential whisper—that she had even struck 
her hushaud iu a fit of passion. 
Aunty Junes was grieved to the heart To all 
of this she answered but little, except to suggest 
tbatlbere must be exaggeration on both sides, and 
that if the exact truth could he brought to the 
lisht, it would, iu ull probability, be found, that 
both of the exasperated mothers had been excited 
into a blind passion by falsehood, over-acting, or 
misrepresentation on the part, of the children.— 
The two neighbors, so suddenly set at variance, 
were, both of them, her warm friends, arid had 
been on terms of close intimacy with each other 
for years. Both were, in the main, kind-hearted 
and right-minded women; and both of them, 
Aunty J ines believed, would soon he sorry for 
what they had done, and ashamed of having taken 
counsel of passion. She was the peace-maker of 
Bloomiugdale; and even in this bad looking case, 
was soon pondering the questiou of reconciliation. 
On the next morning, Annty Jones went over 
early to see Mrs. Lingen. She had thought it best 
to give her the benefit of a night’s sleep on the 
matter. She fouud her strongly exasperated 
againstMrs. Fry. Willy's inflamed ear waashown 
in triumphant vindication of her riglitto he angry.

AUNTY JONES 
BY T. S. ARTHUR. 
Aunty Jones —she was called “Annty” by half 
the village, old and young, though she claimed 
with no individual in Bluomingdale a blood rela¬ 
tionship. Aunty Jones was sitting by the window 
of her neat little cottage home, when a neighbor 
entered through the white-washed gate, and came, 
with a quick step along the flower-bordered walk 
that led up to the door. 
"Good afternoon, Aunty,” said she, entering 
without ceremony. 
“Good afternoon, Mrs. Blake ! How are all at 
home?” 
“ Well, thank you. How are you to-day?” 
“As well as usual, dear, take a chair.” 
Mrs. Blake sat down. She was a young woman 
with rather a smart'air, and free manners. Her 
eyes were black, and bad a good deal or latent fire 
in them. After a few remarks, she said, with con¬ 
siderable animation — 
"There's trouble between Mrs. Fry and Mrs. 
Lingen.” 
“ Indeed! Pm sorry for that,” said Aunty Jones, 
a shade of regret passing over her countenance.— 
“ What’s the matter?” 
“ Mrs. Fry is greatly to blame,” said Mrs. Blake, 
"and I don'twonder that Mrs. Lingen is angry. I 
should be if I were in her place.” 
“ What has happened to interrupt the good un¬ 
derstanding that has always existed between them 
They’ve been fast friends for years.” 
“I know they have,” answered Mrs. Blake. 
“ But after what Mrs. Fry has done, it is impossi¬ 
ble for them to he friends any longer.” 
“What has she done?” Aunty Blake looked 
seriously troubled. 
"I’ll tell you,” said Mrs. Blake, speaking in her 
animated way, and entering with much feeling 
into the relation,— “Willy Lingen was over at 
Mrs. Fry’s this morning, playing with her chil¬ 
dren. The little folks had a falling out about 
something, as children will fall out you know, and 
from angry words came to blows. Hearing the 
noise and outcry that followed, Mrs. Fry ran out 
into the garden, and, in a fit of passion, seized 
Willy' Lingen by the hair and boxed his ears like 
a fury. He, poor child, a3 it happened, had been 
sick all last night with the ear-ache, and the side 
of his face and head were tender as a boil, and 
badly swollen. He was, in consequence, hurt ter¬ 
ribly. Of course, he came home and told hiB 
mother, and, of course, she was outraged, as any 
mother would be. She didn’t stop a moment for 
reflection, but went, in hot baste, over to Mrs. 
Fry’s, and gave her a piece of her mind in about 
the plainest kind of terms.” 
” Bad—had—very had,” said Aunty Jones, shak¬ 
ing her head. 
“Iv’e just come from Mrs. Linden's,” continued 
Mrs. Blake; “and, I can tell you, she’s as sharp as 
an awl about it—and a little sharper. Poor Willy 
shows signs of his hard treatment. Dear little 
fellow! It made my blood boil when his mother 
told me of the cruel way in which he had been 
Berved. Some of the neighbors blame her for 
what she said to Mrs. Fry, hut I don’t, I would 
have Baid as much, and, maybe, twice as much 
more, if I had been iu her place. Beat a neigh¬ 
bors child about the head, and pull iis hair, when 
her own brats, iu all probability were most to 
blame! According to Willy’s siory, be was only 
defending himself when she came at him like a 
tiger.” 
After Mrs. Blake had fully informed Aunty 
Jones as to this new cause of excitement in the 
village, she bade her a good afternoon, and went 
on her gossipping round of visits. Not long after

A WHIMSICAL 
between tv clock ami a woman, Charles Fox gal 
httitly ohstTveil that he thought tho siinilohad: 
"for,” (said he, “a clock serves us to point the 
hours and a woman to forget them.” 
A good wife, ftecording to Plutarch, Bhould be 
a looking glut-s to represent her husband’s face and 
passion; if he be pleasant, she should be merry; 
if he laugh, she should smile; if he look sad, she 
should participate in his sorrow, and bear a part 
wilh him; and so should they continue in mutual 
love one towards the other.
