had heard her express an admiration some 
evenings before. 
That same evening camel in Ben. Sanford, as 
he expressed it, “ in On very depth* of indigo /” 
for young gentlemen whose worldly matters 
invariably go on wrong end foremost will some¬ 
times he found in this condition, however exu¬ 
berant may be their stock of animal spirits. 
“Pray, Ben., what is the matter ? ” said Mark, 
kindly, as the latter stretched himself at length, 
in an arm chair, groaning audibly. 
“Oh! a blUtous attack, Mark— shoemakers’ 
hills! tailors’ hills! boarding-house bills! —all 
of them sent for New Tear’s presents! — hang 
’em all!” 
“Mark was silent for a few moments, and 
Ben. continued, “ Confouudit, Mark! what’s the 
sense of living if a fellow is to he so very poor? 
Here yon, Mark, horn in Ihe same town with 
me, and younger than I am by some two years— 
you have a house as snug as a man need ask —a 
wife like an angel—peace and plenty by the 
bushel, and all comes of having a good run of 
luck in the money line” — and Ben. kicked his 
slippers against the andiron most energetically. 
“What has become of .Emily P-?” asked 
Mark, after a pause. 
“Poor soul!” said Ben., "there she is yet, 
with all sweetness and patience, waling till such 
a luckless scapegrace as I can give her a home 
and husband. I wish to my 6onl, for her sake, 
I could afford to he married, and have a home of 
my own; besides, to tell the truth, I am tired of 
this rambling, scrambling, out-at-tbe-elbow, 
slip-shod life.” 
“Why don’t you get married?” questioned 
Mark. 
"Why don't I? to be sure — nse my tailors’ 
bills for fuel, and my hoard hill for house rent, 
and my shoes hill for bread and hotter—hey? 
Would yon recommend a poor girl to try me, 
Mark—all things considered?” said Ben., bit¬ 
terly. 
Mark reflected a while u silence, and then 
drew ont. his book — his little book, to which 
we before alluded. 
“Just look at this account, Ben.,” said he; “I 
know you hatq figures, but just for once.” Ben 
glanced at it impatiently—laughed when he read 
over the two or three first items, hut his face 
lengthened as he proceeded, and Mark detected 
a sort of whistle of astonishment f s he read the 
sum total. 
“ Well, Mark! ” he exclaimed, “what a very 
old gentlemanly, considerate trick is this of 
yours — to sit behinf your counter so coolly 
noting down the ‘cost and come to ’ of all our 
little frolics—really it is most edifying! How 
much you must have enjoyed your superior dis¬ 
cretion and forethought! ” and Ben. laughed — 
hut not with his usual glee. 
“Nay, you mistake," said Mark. “I kept 
this account merely to see what I had been in 
the habit of spending myself, and as you and I 
have always been band-ar.i!-glove in everything, 
it answers equally for yc .. 7’ was only yester¬ 
day lb f .u-i.nuul * ••?' Mil. and 7 mts'tvA 
you the result surprised myself,- and now, Ben., 
the sum here set down, and as much more as you 
please, is freely at your disposal, to clear off old 
scores for the year, provided you will accept 
with it this little hook as a New Year’s gift, and 
use it twelve months as 1 have done; and at the 
end of that time if you are not ready to introduce 
me to Mrs. Sanford, I am much mistaken.” 
Ben. grasped his friend’s hand—but just then 
the outrance of Mrs. Meriden prevented his 
reply. Mark, however, saw with satisfaction 
that he put the book carefully in his vest pocket, 
and buttoned lip his coat with the air of a man 
who i6 buttoning up a new resolution. 
When they parted for the night, Mark said 
with a smile, “ In case of billionn attache, you 
know where to send for medicine.” Ben. an¬ 
swered only by a fervent grasp of the hand, for 
his throat felt too full for him to answer. 
.Mark Mariden’s hook answered the purpose 
admirably. In less thun two years Bcd. Sanford 
was the most popular lawyer in -, and as 
steady a householder as you might wish to see; 
and, in conclusion, as this is a lady’6 story, we 
will just ask our lady readers their opinion in 
one point, and it is this: 
If Mrs. Meriden had been a woman who un¬ 
derstood what is called “ catchiDg a beau” bet¬ 
ter than securing a husband—if she had never 
curled her hair excopt for company , and thought 
it a degradation to know how to keep a house 
comfortable, would these things have happened ? 
intended to live in habits of very close acquaint¬ 
ance, and in this hook he designed to note down 
all the savings consequent upon the. retrench¬ 
ment of certain little extras, before alluded to, 
in which he had been in the habit of pretty freely 
indulging himself. 
Upon the present occasion it had cost him 
something of an effort to say “ no,” for 'lark 
was one of your easy “clever fellows” to whom 
the enunciation of this little syllable causes as 
much trouble as the gutterals of the German. 
However, when he came in sight of his parlor 
windows, through which a bright fire was shin¬ 
ing— when he entered and found the clean 
glowing hearth, the easy chair drawn in front, 
and a pair of embroidered slippers waiting for 
him quite at their leisure, and, above all, when 
he read the quick glance o( welcome in a pair of 
very bright eyes, Mark forgot all about Ben. 
Sanford and all bachelor friends and allurements 
whatsoever, and thought himself about the hap¬ 
piest fellow on earth. 
The evening passed off rapidly by the help of 
music, reading and little small talk of which 
newly married people generally find a supply, 
and the next morning found Mark at early busi¬ 
ness hours with as steady a hand aud a6 cool a 
head as if there had been no such things as bach¬ 
elor frolics in existence. 
Late in the afternoon, Ben. Sanford lounged 
in to ogle a few of the ladies, and above all to 
rally Mark on losing the glorious fnn of the 
evening before. 
“Upon my word, Mark,” he began, “we 
must have you put up for Selectman, you are 
becoming so extremely ancient and venerable in 
your ways. however, you are to be excused,” 
he added, “circumstances considered—female 
influence! — ah’ well, it’s a fine affair, this 
marriage! ” 
“Better try it, Mr. Sanford,” said a bright, 
saucy girl, who, with her laughing companions, 
were standing close by while Ben. was speaking. 
“Ah! madam, the wherewithal! ” said Ben., 
rolling up his eyes with a tragic expression. “ If 
some clever old fellow would be so obliging as 
to die now, and leave me a few thousand—then, 
ladies! yon should see.” 
“But. speaking of money, u said Mark, when 
he saw the ladies busy over 6ome laces he had 
just thrown on to the counter—" what, did your 
‘ glorious fun ’ cost you ? ” 
“Pooh ! — nothing! — only a ten-dollar hill; 
nothing in my purse, you know?” 
“Nothing in your purse? — not an uncom¬ 
mon incident after these occasions,” said Mark, 
laughing. 
“Oh! hang it all,” said Ben,, —“too true! 
I can get no remedy for this consumption of the 
purse, as old Falstaff says; however, the world 
owes me a living, and so, good morniug ! ” 
Ben. Sanford was just one of that class of 
young men of whom common report goes, that 
they can do anything they please, and who con¬ 
sider this point as so well established that they 
do not think it necessary to illustrate it by doing 
anyumug ot mi. no was a lawyer or good tal¬ 
ents, and would have had an extensive run of 
business had he not been one of the class of 
people never to be found when wanted. His 
law books and law office saw far less of him than 
certain fashionable places of resort, where his 
handsome person and various social accomplish¬ 
ments always secured to him a welcome recep¬ 
tion. Ben. had some little property left him by 
his father, just enough, os he used laughingly to 
quote, “ to keep him in gloves and cologne 
water,” and for the rest, he seemed vastly con¬ 
tented with his old maxim, “ the world owes me 
a livmg,” forgetting that the world can some¬ 
times prove as poor a paymaster as the most 
fashionable young gentleman going. 
But to return to Mark. When he had settled 
his account at night,betook from a pigeon-hole 
in his desk the little book aforenamed, and 
entered as follows : — “ to one real wake-up, 
$10,” which, beiDg done, he locked his desk and 
returned once more to Mrs. Meriden. 
Days flew on, and the shop of Mark became 
increasingly popular, aud still from time to time 
he was assailed by the kind of temptation we 
have described. Now, it was “Mark, my dear 
fellow, do join us in our trip to G-V and 
now, “Come, my old fellow, let us have a spree 
at F- ’s;" now, it was the club, 
WHAT MIGHT BE DONE 
What might be done if men were wise— 
What glorious deeds, my suffering brother, 
Would they unite. 
In love and right, 
And cease their scorn of one another ? 
Oppression's heart might he imbued 
With kindling drops of loving kindness, 
And knowledge pour, 
• From shore to shore, 
Light in the eyes of mental blindness. 
All slavery, warfare, lies and wrong, 
All vice and crime might die together; 
And wine and corn 
To each man born, 
Be free as warmth in summer weather. 
The meanest wretch that ever trod, 
The deepest sunk in guilt and sorrow, 
Might stand erect 
In self-respect, 
And share the teeming world to morrow, 
What might he done ? This might he done. 
And more than this, my suffering brother— 
More than the tongue 
E’er eaid or eung, 
If men were wise and loved each other.

“ What did mother say my little man ? Did 
you give her my card ? ” asked an inexperienced 
gentleman of a little boy, whose mother had 
given him aa invitation to call upon her, and 
whose street door was accordingly opi ned to his 
untimely summons by the urchin. 
“Yes, sir,” quoth the urchin, innocently, 
“ aud mother said if yon were not a natural fool, 
you wouldn’t come on Monday morning, when 
everybody was washing.” 
At this juncture, mamma with a sweet smile 
of welcome, made her appearance at the end of 
the hall, when to her surprise Mr. Verysopht, 
the visitor, bolted! 
“ Wbat iq the world does the man mean ? ” 
inquired ma. 
“I donno,” replied the urchin! “guess he’s 
forgot sumthin.” 
A correspondent of the Tribune says:—“Gen. 
Butler one day sent a man of the name of 
Curtis, who had been a pilot on the James river, 
and who professed to know the position of the 
torpedoes, to Admiral Lee, with the characteris¬ 
tic suggestion;—“If he faithfully aud truly per¬ 
forms his duty, and answers all queries, return 
him to me at Bermuda Landing; if not, hang 
him at. the yard-arm.” This was dictated in thq 
presence of Curtis, to whom the General then 
remarked : — ‘ Now, my good man, go; you 
have your life in your own hands.’ The individ¬ 
ual certainly 6eemed to realize this fact.” 
MARK MERIDEN; 
OR, MARRIED AND SINGLE 
“ Come, Mark Meriden! don’t settle down 
into an old gland father before your time — a 
pretty wife’s a pretty thing, Mark, and a pretty 
house is a pretty thing, hut hang it! one must 
have a little of life.’’ 
Mark Meriden stood at his desk, giving a last 
look at his hooks, while Ben. Sanford — the 
roguish —the merry —the song-singing —the 
Ben. of all Bens., was thu6 urging on him the 
claims of a projected frolic that evening. Now 
Ben. was precisely the messenger for such an 
embassy — there was fun in the twinkle of his 
bine eyes, and a world of waggery in the turn of 
his head, and a pair of broad, roguish dimples 
that went merrily dodging in aud out of his 
cheeks every time he spoke, and be laid hold 
of Mark’s arm to drag him away. But Mark 
shook off his hand, and finished summing np a 
column of figures — put the blotting paper into 
the book, and the hook into the place, wiped his 
pen —and, at last, turning to Ben., said; 
“ I think I won’t go this time.” 
“Now, why not?” eaid Ben., eagerly. 
“Because — because,” said Mark, smilingly; 
“ because I have an odd fancy that I should like 
the pleasure of Mrs. Meriden’s company better 
this evening.” 
“Hang Mrs. Meriden—beg pardon, Mark — 
hang myself for saying so — but one don’t like 
to see a fine fellow buried alive! — come, take a 
real wake up with us.” 
“ Thank yon, Ben., but I haven’t been asleep, 
and don’t need it. So I’ll go home and see my 
wife,” and thereat turned a resolute step home¬ 
ward, as a well-trained husband ought. 
“Now,” says one of our readers, “wLo wa6 
Mark Meriden ? " Yon would not have asked, 
good reader, if you had lived in the town of 
-, when his name first appeared on the out¬ 
side of one of its most fashionable shops, “ Mark 
Meriden,” surrounded by those waving insignia 
of grace and fashion that young belles need to 
have their eyes turned off from beholding. Ev¬ 
erything in the tasteful establishment told of 
well-arranged business, and Mark himself, ihe 
mirror of fashion, faultless in every article of 
costume, quick, attentive, polite, was every day 
to be seen there winning “golden opinions 
from all sorts of people.” Mark’s shop became 
the resort for high ton —the fashionable ex¬ 
change, the promenade of beauty and wealth, 
who came thereto he enlightened as to the ways 
and means of disposing of their surplus reve¬ 
nue—to see and he seen. So attentive, polite 
and considerate was Mark, so profound his hows, 
so bright his eyes, so unexceptionable his whis¬ 
kers, that it might have proved a dangerous 
resort for the ladies, had not a neat, tasteful 
house going up in the neighborhood been cur¬ 
rently reported as the future residence of an 
already Mrs. Meriden; and in a few months the 
house, neatly finished and tastefully fnmisbed, 
received a very pretty lady who called herself to 
that effect. She was as truly refined and lovely 
a woman as ever formed the center flower in a 
domestic bouquet, and Mark might justly be 
pardoned for having as good again an opinion of 
himself for having been fortunate enough to 
secure her. 
Mark had an extensive circle of business and 
pleasure acquaintances, for he had been one of 
the social, companionable sort, whose money 
generally found its way out of his pocket in very 
fair proportions to the rate it came in. In 
short, he was given to clubs, oyster suppers, 
and now and then a wine party, and various 
other social privileges for elevating one’s spirit 
and depressing one’s cash that abound among 
enlightened communities. 
But, nevertheless, at the bottom of Mark’s 
heart, there was a very substantial stratum of a 
certain quality called common sense, a trait 
which, though It was never set down in any 
chart of phrenology, may very justly be called a 
faculty, and one, too, which makes a very 
striking difference among people as the world 
goes. In consequence of being thus consti¬ 
tuted, Mark, when he found himself in love 
with, and engaged to, a very pretty girl, began 
to reflect with more than ordinary seriousness 
on his habits, ways and manners ol' life. He also 
took an accurate survey of his business, formed 
an average estimate of his future income on the 
soberest probabilities, and determined to live a 
little even within that. He also provided him¬ 
self with a small account book, with which he 
Judge Ryan of Buffalo recently said, in re¬ 
sponse to a remonstrance against his ruling“ I 
have no law for it. I gave it aa the opinion of 
the court, based upon common sense. 1 am no 
lawyer. I never read a law hook in my life, and 
I never will, for the reason that I see so many 
-fools who have read law, that I dare not 
venture the experiment.” 
An elderly gentleman being ill, one of his 
friends sent a messenger with the usual inquiry, 
which, however, he had not pronounced with 
due emphasis:—“I'll thank you to take my 
compliments, and ask how old Mr. W. Is.” The 
messenger departed on his errand, and speedily 
returned, sayiDg, “ He is just sixty-eight, sir!” 
“My friend," eaid a seedy individual to a wag¬ 
gish acquaintance at a ferry, “ I wish yon would 
loan me two quarters to cross the ferry; 1 liavn’t

to know,” was the reply, “what difference it 
makes to a man who hasn’t got a dollar in the 
world, which side of the river he’s on !”

and as one or another gaily recounted the history

of expense to hie little hook. Yet was not Mark 
cynical or unsocial. His refusals, though firm, 
were invariably good-natured, and though he 
could not he drawn abroad, yet he was unques¬ 
tionably open-handed at home. No house bad

no tea-table presented more unexceptionable

notwithstanding his short-comings, Mark was 
set down as a fine, open-handed fellow after all.

A CURIOUS INCIDENT, 
A curious Incident lately occurred iu a French 
criminal court. A young woman, carrying a 
child less than avear old in her arms, was arraigned 
for having stolen three gold ten-franc pieces 
from the house of a lady where she called on 
business. The prisoner stated In her defence that 
her baby snatched the coins from a table with¬ 
out her knowledge, and carried them home in 
its hand ; tfiat the had just discovered them 
there, and was preparing to go back with the 
money when she was arrested. The defence 
was thought most improbable, owing to the 
child’s age; but the president, in order to test 
its p.ossibility, ordered one of the ushers to lay 
three gold pieces on the ledge ftf the dock, with¬ 
in the batiy’s reach. The moment the little 
thing suw the money it clutched the pieces 
firmly and attempted to put them in its mouth. 
This experiment satisfied the tribunal that 
the woman bad told the truth, and she was in 
consequence acquitted of the charge.
