We go on making the lurp3 of burnt clay we call bricks in the way we do, chiefly because it has beeu the fashion to make these lumps in some regular f.rm ever since men began to build, although modem science has long ago pointed out to us much cheper and better methods of employing both lime and clay. A brick wall as it is put together with its multiplicity of small joints, and its liability to consist of porous uuburnt bricks or friable, loamy mortar, can hardly escape becoming saturated with moisture every wet day, and retaining for the longest possible period tho water used in its construction, lini why make bricks at all ? We can bum the clay iu heaps with small coal, and bum it thoroughly, to incipient vitd the cost that rification, for we can burn it in the form of bricks ; and we can make the chalk mix with g cement for clay into a very little more thau the expense of converting it into lime. Th ere can be but little doubt that concrete, carefully made from these materials and cast into hoilow blocks a twelvemonth before it is wanted, might be a chat per material, and a better one in every way, than, those we arc now usinjr. Constructed of such blocks as these, we might obtain substantial, damp-roo- f houses ready for occupation directly they were built, with the advantage of hollow walls, out of which the niois ture had evaporated before they were g now-a-day- s, one-thir- water-resistin- - in Finale. liueu-draper- 's j sweet-tempere- d : , now-a-uay- half-hidde- n ? 1 or-ler- ed - . ! : ra - .

After this decisive step wa taken, Miss Barbara was in a flutter of nervous ness all the time. She donned her richest dress, her most costly cap, and then sat expectant until she heard John's step on the stairs, and John himself came in as of old. Of course there were a few miuutes during which they both talked at once, and tnen, when the first excitement was over, Miss Barbara suddenly grew grave. "Where's your wife??' she said in her old grim way, aud John rose and rang the bell. "She's down stairs. I told her to stay until I sent for her." An! then, as the servant made his appearance, "show my wife up." "Y'ou will love her a little, for my sake?" pleaded John, as a light footstep was heard at the door, and then, greatly to Miss Barbara's surprise, Alice came in. "My nephew, Mr. Barton, Miss she said, and then turning to Alice, "I am engaged now, and you may be excused." To her surprise, John coolly put his arm around his Dew acquaintance and led her across the room. Alice Worth-ingto- n Barton, Aunt Barby," he said; and then, with the old mischief in his eyes, "Love her a little lor my sake, hr hulf-rcgretti- was The next morning Alice, under Mis Barbara's direction, wi jte a Jitlle note to John Barton. "Tell him to come soon," said she; aud as Alice wrote this, Mis. Barbara gat and thought intently for a time, her face restiug on her hands. "Tell him," she said again, "tell him he may bring his wife if he likes I can. at least, see her to please him." And so the uoie was written aud the messenger Miss Barbara was a good woman, but she was very whimsical, a liitle selfish, and, above all, very jealous of her own dignity, and the knowledge that John had asserted his independence, and actually planned out his future life without consulting her beforehand, was a very hard thing for her to bear. She was not patient nor forg ving, and the result ot Johu's confidence was a very unpleasant scene; she who had never spoken to him harshly before, overwhelmed him with hard, bitter words, and then, when he was gone, wept herself, asleep over his 'ingratitude," as she called it. When at last he was really married, her auger knew no bounds, and his first visit to her after that eventt ended as we have seen. The days passed away slowly after John, with his bright face and ringing voi c, was banished, and Miss Barbara, harshness, was ofieu tempted to seud fur him again, but her obstinacy, er pride, ns she called it, prevented her, aud so she fretted and worried until Jane was almost driven distracted by her irritability and unreasonableness. She was so cross, so hard to please, and so "awfully savage," as John would have said, that Jane became at last entirely worn out, and one day when her duties had been more than usually hard, she surprised her mistress by packing up her movable property and Then Miss departing from the Barbara was wretched; for three days she sa't in a solitary state, and theu, sending for her lawyer, directed him to insert an advertisement in the leading papers to the effect that she wanted a "young, neat and ladylike person" for a . - that ried." and self forgetful, that Miss Barbara's "l'lcase be quiet 1 wish to epcak. 1 melted away by degrees, and at severity Lave done my duly by you, John (here last she began to love her attendant and was a little tremble in her voice as she to dry iu various little ways to make her said this, but she went ou aud cheerful and contented in her new grimly.) nnw it, ii you were just oming to man- home. 1 , hood (John was twenty-six,- ) and I had 'Alice," she said one day ns the begun to trust in you a little, you desert young girl sat opposite her before the me for a a doll .'.
