Inasmuch as I hud lingered on the way in order to render my toilette as elegant as possible, the street lamps were being lighted when I finally reach-- " e l my destination. Darkness was falliog on the earth, nnd through the surrounding gloom my spirit soared aloft sustained by celes-livisions visions of my youthful charmer, all giice and innocence, yielding g'ntly t i my impassioned greeting More beautiful than ever I was assured that she had grown, and as to her constancy 1 doubled it not for a moment. I reached the house, and with a heai bursting from too much happiness, ascended the high brown stoop, affected as I did so almost to tears by the thought that very boon now 1 should purchase a brown-sionhouse of my own, and that she and I would day by day ascend and de-- nd the same in company together, made one forever. Strange to say, the door siood open, and I know not by what impulse, but probably because I was transported the bounds of sere and in the mood to do unlikely things, I entered without ringing and advanced into the drawing room. Overcome tor the moment, I seated on a sofa, t tie dim outline of which half showed itself in the twilight. For the gas had not been lit. Ibtard voices. Voices from the inner parlor. ' What! Hie voice of my charmer Angelic sounds! Enraptured, I held my breath to listen "He might be here any day; the steamship is due Hel ens! What happiness Hor vhole soul evidently wrapped in mine! Thinking, talking of my coming! Involuntarily I grasped my. vest pocket iu which lay an elegant jewel case, a greeting present for my darling, lint I must hear those tones again. I did. Softly, sweetly, she continued. "I don't know what I shall say to the silk goose; 1 wish he would stay away." "Silly goose! silly goose!' That could not be myself. Impossible! But a cold shudder ran from the top of my ead to the soles of my new boots. Now, 1 must, I would hear. I heard. "He is getting bald, too.'' "Bald !:' thought I, and I put my hand to the lop of my head. Sure enough, I was a little bald. Of course 1 had known i' all along, but, then well, this was suspicious. I must hear the rest. I heard: "Just think of it nearly forty y tars old, and getting bald !" Between thirty and forty; that was my age. 'And I only eighteen." My lov was eighteen, prccieely. "Qirls of fifteen are 60 silly. If e took advantage of me, for indeed a child of that age thinks she is in love with anybody.' lie happened to be the first one, and I knew bo better. Now I am a young lady and know my own mind. I know that I care only for you. But here is the difficulty. The old creature has niade money out there in China, and papa will be angry with me if I do not of the boy and the butting came out of his Noze." Tie might have kept this priceless- discovery to himself, aud patented it, had he bpen less of a philanthropist, aud gone about the world blowing "buttings out of ehilds Nozcs" for money, but he generously refrained, threw aside the fortune awaited him, and became a benefac-- j . pi--- - ipr..pj.w$ species. ... a Buttou, It is bad enough to see a bachelor sew on a button, but he is the embodiment of grace alongside of a mar- ried man. Necessity has compelled experience in the case of the former, but the latter has depended upun some one else for this service, and, fortunately for the s:ike of society, it is rarely he is obliged to resort to the ueedle himself. Sometimes tbo patient wife scalds her right hand, or runs a diver under the nail of the index fiuger of that h:uid, and it is then the man clutches the needle around the neek, and, forgetting to tie a knot in the thread, commences to put on the button. It is always in the morning, and from five to twenty minutes after this he is exHe lays pected to be down street. the button exactly on the site of its predecessor, and pushes the needle through one eye, and carefully draws the thread alter, leaving about three inches of it sticking up for lee way. He says to himself, "Well, if women don't have the easiest time 1 ever see." Then he comes back the other way, and gets the needle through tlio cloth well enough, and lays himself out to find the eye, but in spite of a great deal of patient jabbing, the needle point persists in bucking against the solid parts of tho button, and finally, when he loses patience, his fingers catcb the thread, and that three inches he had left to hold the button slips through the eye in a twinkling, and the button rolls leisurely across the floor. He picks it up without a single remark, out of respect for his children, and attempts to fasten it. This time when coming back with the needle he keeps both the thread and button from slipping by covering them with his thumb, aud it is out of .regard for that part of him that he feels around for the'eyc in a very careful and jddicious manner, but eventually losing his philosophy as the search becomes more and more hopeless, he falls to jabbinj; about in a loose and ravage manner, and it is just then the needle finds the opening, and comes up through the button and part way through his thumb with a celerity that no human ingenuity can guard against. Then he lays down the things, witli a few familiar quotations, and presses the hand between his knees, and then holds it under tho other arm, and finally jams it into his mouth, and all the while he prances about the floor, and calls upon heaven and earth to witness that there has never been anything like it stnee the world was created, and howls, and whistles, and moans, and sobs. After a while he calms down, and puts on his pants, and fastens them together with a stick, and goes to his business a changed man. -- m HAVE OPENED IN LOGAN & OGDEN, BRANCHES OF OUR WAGON MACHINE DEPARTMENT, so that the people of the .Northern and U Counties can purchase without coming to Salt Lake City.
