"Such an anxiety,' said Pinkie : ''we were afraid it j wasn't going . to take a handsome brown." . . "And then again, sister wasn't at all well yesterday ; she could hardly raise her head from the pillow." . ' '""Oh ! no. could hardly raise my head from the pillow."

"Well, I'm sure," said Miss Marigold, as. her little head slipped out of the infla inflated - ted inflated hood, lior a hair disturbed, "I'm so : gratified so entirely unexpected." Uh, (tout speak., 01 it," said fins- harn, while sha waved the tight waistcd calico a majestic sign to place the chick chicken - en chicken on the table; "the favor is altogether- on one side.

I ouly wish we all had the same spirit." "Oh, a beautttal thiug," said Pinkie; I only wish we could say so."

" "Dear me, yes, saul Miss Marigold, and ;if her" humility had' not been so genuine, she would nave t el t almost embarrassed at the contrast with her own little preparations left at home. The apartment also seemed so crowded with turmture. ana there was uo divid ing seam' in the Vcarpet here; it was all sitting-room, and there were peacock s teatners over tne looiting-giass. aim she saw. ,-wider . the corner of the cloth that the table was of shining uiahogauyr Then there were not oulv three kinds of piukles, but six stalks pf celery in a very small tumbler; ho onions; but the tight- waisted calico standing behind Miss Pinkman's chair, with a peacock-feather fly-brush in -oue hand, and the other at liberty to remove the covers. But Pinkham Sisters were so affable that there "seemed very' little restraint after all, and Pinkham, when she had carved with , dexterity, begged to know Miss' "Marigold's tavonte - part. Miss Marigold declared sue had no tavonte part; but after Pinkie had said with great freedom that she was never satis satis-tied - tied satis-tied if, she could'nt have -a walker, and Pinkham hati said she1 Considered there was no portion equal or delicacy to the lelt wins Miss Marigold got up courage te say that "she1 had rather a-weakness tor the part that went over tne tence last, although she always had some scru ples about mentioning ' It. v Then she ventured to speak of the table, and Pink Pinkham - ham Pinkham said it was her mother's, and had eight claw feet, and Miss Marigold said her mother had one with six claw feet, and after that she felt perfectly at her ease. . So much so iudeed that she besntn to -tell them about the sermon, and its appropriatenessjto the day, though she lamented that her mind did riot succeed in tracing it as accurately as she could have wished, and that, she had found her thoughts sometimes wandering to wards common mercies. iut sne knew the fault was her own; it could never have been with the subject; that w the future glory of our country as con contrasted - trasted contrasted with-tiw present condition of the island ot Zanzibar. Meantime the tight-waisted .calico, in obedience to various stately signals from Miss Pinkham, had passed one dish after ahother, but being a good deal crippled by the fly-brush, accomplished it slowly, sin that lust as Miss Marigold pronounced the word "Zanzibar," she raised some. thins: to her inouth that she had not tas ted before, aud the tears rushed violent ly to her eyes "Avery affecting: subject," said Pink ham. as Miss Marigold was forced to take out her handkerchief quite sud denly. "Oh, a very affecting subject," said Pinkie. "Yes," said Miss Marigold, but her conscience, would not "allow any sue little subterfuge, though innocently pro vided by another..-.,. "YesI" she repeated,' "but it wasn' altogether the sermon ; I'm atraid it was the pickle, -bo precisely like the one my mother used to make, I have never met with it since.

Why," only this very morning I was thinking over all those things, and' the changes that have come, and "the more I thought, the more ray heart seeuiud to sing. So.wouderful the way I have always been carried through! So nianu mercies !" The tight-waisted calico at another mvsteilous .signal, from Miss Pinkhani now disappeared, and after an absence of at least live -minutes, during which the Pinkham Sisters were evidently suf fering from 'extreme nervous uneasi uneasiness, - ness, uneasiness, reappeared with a pudding much tiro size and shape of a very small can non-ball, and of such evident impor importance - tance importance that the fly-brush had been laid aside, aud both hands lout to iu trium plial entry.

The old liitrons knew ,-verv well what it was they preferred, in. .Aliss" Marigold, but further than her smile, the new ones would have- found it difficult to tell, for she hardly- talked ; at all ; while at the next door one' df 'th Pinkhaftt ijisters liot on.y talked a ?jreat deal, but the other maintained a position she was known to "have held for years, just one pace antr a half behind her sister's right elbQWVtm the' tiext" breadth in"the car carpet, - pet, carpet, and repeated every word she said in a .voice pitched just one key higher.

It was Thanksgiving morning, and as it is quite a matter to get dinner proper properly - ly properly even for one, Miss Marigold wished to have it ,weU under., way before she dressed -rbr-rtrWren-, s that she might neither be late nor disturbed in her mind during the services. The poet says : "The mind of man doth move amazing quick ;" aird though like iiwst poets lie made no allowance iu his rhythm for that of woman.

'.'Sunk changes l", she went ou,, "and so wonderful, the way I have been car ried" through them all ! So many mer cies!

At this suggestion Miss Marigold looked thoughtfully into the saucepan a moment and shook her head. ' . "Well, you'll have to risk that," Bhe sald-ttt last,- - "some - things mtisti be risked in this life. Now I do hope you are nearly ready. It would never do for a person like you to be late, j So many mercies!" Iu a few minutes Miss Marigold set off, with her heart all iu aglow, and her head in a rather unbecoming second hand bonnet, which she had taken from a customer iu payment for the work on a new one.

The fragrance of the saucepan had hardly been pushed i' aside byrthe- eweet savor sle found iu its page when a Knock was heard at the shop door. Miss Marigold was really startled. "So unusual on a legal holi- dav-.'.-. she" said; : But when she opened it she' found a lio more terrifying object than the little servant girl of Pinkham Sisters, in a green calico-dress with yel yellow - low yellow spots, and very tight in the waist.,to say that "the ladies sent tueir nest com compliments, - pliments, compliments, and would Miss Marigold favor them by coining right away to take a. very simple dinner?"

The stock-dealer who , bought the horse? afterward disappeared. On the next day after the sale the vendor paid out two bills ot Sin each. It was uis covered that they were counterfeit, aud the ntterer was promptly arrested anil lodged in prison, lie ot course, directly protested his innocence, and told bow he got the money, apd the remaiuin $IS'J was' found on his person.

No confirmatory evidence of th prisoner's tale could be got. and, as much counterfeit money hail lately been cir dilated in that region, public feelm ran strongly against him.

Climate forces upon animals different habits. - Towards the middle of Decern ber the female white bear places herself in a position where the snow will iirut over her. Lying still upon a rock, the snow falls thickly upon her, and a cell is tormsd tor winter Habitation, lu this cell the animal resides during the period of accouchement, ihe cubs are produced, and Ihe mother remains sec luded with them until the m nth of March. The young are very small at first, but as they grow the heat of their bodies melts the snow and thus enlarges the cell. The warm breath ascends up, ward and makes an aperture for the ad mission of pure air. Before hiberna ting, the bear eats enormously of nutritious tood, and becomes very lat, on whl tat she exists during ber Winter retire- ment. The phenomenon is all the more singular, as the female bear 1 compelled to give sustenance to her young, as well as to live liersell, aud the surplus fat in her own body is ner only store ol tood remnant to this Dr. Wood remarks "It is worthy of notice that In the bear of the Old as well as the New World is fou nil the curious phenomenon of 'tapper,' a hard, cornered substance, which plugs up the iutcstines,aud seem to be of service iu retaining the a.iimal iu condition."
