Hey husband looked surprised, but bided his time, «P The next day he deliberately turned his large heard of cows into the rank meadows, just ready for the seythe, and hurrying to the house called to his wife : " My dear, the cows are all in the meadow ; thee must go and drive them ‘ out." Bhe took down her gingham sunâ€" bonnet from its nail in the corner, und,‘ without hesitation, started for the field. In a short time she returned, and, as she replaced her sunâ€"bonnet, she said: "My dear, the cows are all in the corn. I think thee had better drive them out." not take long to demonstrate that the present Mrs. Rogers was constructed of different material from the meek and gentle first. After a brief season of grave and stately visiting the pair came home to renew the interrupted housekceping. Monday morning he aroused his new wife early while it was yet dark to get up and attend to the washing, remarking, "I always have the washing done secondi day." ‘ On one occasion they had been spendâ€" ing the long winter evening‘s at a neighâ€" bor‘s. When the kitchen clock struck 9 the baby was corefully wrapped up and given to Friend Wing to carry home, his wife passing on before him in the narrow snowâ€"path. _ But when they reached home there was no baby, and in reply to the mother‘s anxious inquiries he informâ€" ed her she would find it about half a mile back in a snowâ€"drift by the side of the road, which she did. At lest the pitying angels set her free. In due course of time Friend Rogers married again, and immediately comâ€" menced the course of training to which he had subjected his tormer slave. It did Fat horses and substantial vehicles had Wing in plenty; judge, then, of her astonâ€" ishment and despair when, one pleasant firstâ€"day morning in the sixth imouth, he made his appearance at the door with a yoke of oxon attached to the family trundle bed, azd so complete was her subjection that she actually rode to meeting (about a mile) with her children on the absurd veâ€" hicle, while her husband strode by the side with his long whip driving the oxen. Wing Rogers was a Quaker who lived among the Iulls of Vermont, and notwithâ€" standing the reputation of his seet for meekness, gentloness and magnanimity, he was an arbitrary old fellow, who led his wife a most unhappy life. She was a patient, quict woman, who submitted meekly to her tyrannical lord, and strove to slip through the world as unostentatiousâ€" ly as possible. Friend Wing was possessâ€" ed of a goodly share of this world‘s goods. He was an unfailing attendant at meeting. Sundays and Thursdays he was always with his family at the sanctuary. For what purpose he went there was best known to himself; very likely to spend the quiet hour in concocting new schemes for the annoyance and humiliation of his wife; but to her the plain old house, with its uncushioned seats, bare unpainted floor and great square stove, was a very paradiseâ€"the one safe refuge from the perscentions which were fast wearing out her life. said, € "Never grow old to ine.

Red Sea on a seeret mission for the Khedive [ of Egypt. The Captain has returned, and | the mystery, for which there was never any | real necessity, may now be completely cleared away. He did not go to abolish the slave trade, nor did he go to make peace with Iing John of Abyssinia. He i woent on a friendly errand for the Khedive, | as an Englishman out for a holyday, whose imvrilml reputation as an Arabic scholar, | with a power of close observation and unâ€" | wearying energy in investigation,. had inâ€" | duced the Egyptian Prince to seek his aid. | On the eastern coast of the Gulf of Akaba 'nms the ancient land of Midian, and for long years past that country has been supâ€" llwscd to teem with mineral wealth. The: Khedive, whose viceregal rule extends to Midian, had long a desire to put rumor to the test, and asked Captain Burton to make a visit of inspection. A Government frigate was placed at his disposal ; amilitary. escort was given him, as turbulent tribes make travel in Arabia no holyday task ; as secretary, and, what was more important than all the rest, an able mining engineer in the service of the Khediveâ€"AM. George Marieâ€"were attached to the Expedition. The party left Suez on the 21st of March last, and on the 2nd of April they arrived at Moilah, on the east cost of the Red Sea, at the entrance of the Gulf of Akaba. It is a small port, with a tolerable anchorage and an Egyptian garrison. Thence they took boat to Eynounah Bay, at the entrance of the Wady, or Valley of Eynounah, a little to the north of Moilah, on the eastern side of the Gulf. These wadys arecurious. The coast is divided from the interior by a | range of granite and porphyry mountains Frunning about parallel with the sea; but water has worn its way as usual, and these ‘ gorges, each with its mountain torrent, occur at frequent intervals. They are barâ€" )ren rocky places, with no possibility of much culture, and yet they all bear signs of aboundant population in times gone by. Large towns, built not of mud, as Arab towns so often are, but of solid masonry such as the Romans always used, roads cut in the rock, aqueducts five miles long, remains of massive fortresses, artificial lakesâ€"all these signs of wealth and numbers are reported by Captain Burton, According to him the reason of it all is not far to seek. The rock is full of mine.ral wealth. Gold and silyer they found, and the former seems to exist in quantity sufficient to repay the labor of acquisition, Quartz and chlorites occur with gold in them just as they are found in the gold district of South America. The party tested both the rock by erushing and the sands of the streams by sifting, and in each case with good result. Tin and antimony they also discovered, and they had evidence of the existence of turquoise mines, Each ruined town had its mining works; dnul for the washing of sand and: crushed rock An Alexandria correspondent writes to the London Times under date April 28 :â€" Here the matter rested for nearly a week, long enough for the merchant to order and receive a full set of costly china, which in due time was transferred to madam‘s kitchenâ€"table. ‘The intimidated Quaker saw and acknowledged his defeat. Shaking his head sadly, he exclaimed, "It cost to much;" then with a sigh, "Ah! if Becky had done as thee has she might have been living now." It is needless to add that hengeforth their domestic life was serene. Gold in the Land of Midian. Smilingly she went about the clearing away, and when the men came to supper there was no shadow of a cloud on the domestic horizon. But the next day when Friend Wing came in from the field ho beheld a very largo set of fine white stoncâ€" ware on the kitchen table. Ah, this wife of his had not yet learned her lesson. It was a pity to destroy so much property, but he raust teach her submission. She stood there and remarked. "I hope thee will like these better; the others did not seem to please thee." With a heavy blow of his foot he upset the table and started out of the house. But she had noidea of making them do. She went to the village store, made her selection (a modest, inexpensive sct), ordered them to be sent home and requestâ€" ed the merchant to charge them to her husband. Of course the merchant was happy to get his name upon his books, and tle dishes came home. They were spread out on th@kitchen table when Friend Rogers camein. "Isn‘t it a nice set, my dear, and cheap, too." He looked in utter amazement. â€" Was there a woman in the world who dared to thwart him, and that woman his »wife! He raised the side of the table and tipped it over, and without speaking left the house. He waited for no second bidding. It would not take long for forty cows to destroy his corn crop, and he made good speed. But this was not the end of it. Though a wealthy nian, as Vermont farmers go, he was very penurious; his house was poorly furnished; especially did it lack crockery. HMis wife soon deâ€" cided that she must have dishes. She did not mean to be extravagant, but dishes she must have. Like a dutiful wife, she went to her husband with her modest request, only to be refused. Tke dishes were good enough for Becky, and they were good enough for her; at least she must make them do, for he should get no more. â€" . ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO _ There are in the convents some good libraries, containing about fifty thousand volumes in all, and manuseripts seven hunâ€" dred years old are by no means uncommon.

From time immeâ€" morial no cow, mare, goose, duck, hen, or female of any kind has ever been permitted to make requaintance with hill or valley, farmâ€"yard or kitchen, in the Mount Athos territory. In scelecting meat for the table the greatest eare is taken to have it of the male variety, and a body of soldiers is employed by the societies to keep the sacred shores from being desecrated by the tread of any female whatsoever, For three years the candidate is a probaâ€" tioner; then, if he has proved able to keep the monastic vows, he receives his first tonsure and becomes a monk. The discipline is severe, ordinary church services seven hours a day, extraordinary fourteen, and sleep five. One hundred and fiftyâ€"nine days in the year they have one moal only a day, and at this eggs, cheose, fish, wine, and oil are forbidden. The inmates are natives of every part of the Turkish Empire where the Greek lanâ€" guage is spoken, and are consigned to the societies either in infancy or in early life by their fanatical parents. The first years are spent in tilling the land, tending the vines, helping in the honsowu';k, or engaging in some handicraft. The home of this eccentric but happy people is in the eastermost of the three peninsulas which project from the north coast of the Greek Archipelago. It was anciently called Acte, now Monte Sancto, and is about forty miles in length, and from two to nine miles across. It terminates at Mount Athos, a conical mass of limestone rising abruptly to a height of six thousand five hundred feet. Between this bold headâ€" land and the coast is a beautifal plateau, clothed throughout with woodland, which is gay with flowers, rich with odors, merry with songs of birds, and canopied by the brightest of all blue skies. The cultivated fields are all diversified with groves of oak and chesnut, while olive and fig trees are there indigenous. To this seeret Paradise the sons, but not the daughters, of Eve are admitted, and such has been the custom as far back as history reaches, the peninsula being rigorously guarded at all points against the approach of woman, no matter how saintly she might be. A correspondent lias discovered a comâ€" munity numbering at present about seven thousand souls, which has flourished for many centuries, though no woman has ever been permitted or known to set foot in the country. Few of the inhabitants, he says, have any definite idea of what a woman is, . The whole class of ideas and sensations ordinarily associated with the words mother, sister, wife, and sweetheart are to them unknown, and, what is equally singular, crime is also unknown, or nearly so, while on every side are to be seen evidences of temperance, piety, and good order. The literal truth of this assertion remains to be proved. But, at any rate, it must be received as the statement of a careful, experienced traveller after a personal survey iof the district, and it is supported by the opinion of M.. Marie, a skilful mining L engineer, also speaking with conmnaissance i de cause. Of course, Capt. Burton has kept elaborate notes, and he maintains that ‘ they will bear out his golden views of the Land of Midian. â€" In any case they will be interesting, as the country is utterly unâ€" known. No modern traveller has set foot there; even the map has yet to be made. It will be remembered that Moses fled from the face of Pharoah and dwelt in the Land of Midian, and Jethro, the priest of Midian gave him for wife his daughter Zipporah. The Khedive, of course, is much interested in the complete suceess of this expedition, and is now very desirous to give practical effect to it. He has asked the Foreign Oflice to allow Captain Burton to return next winter to assist him in the developâ€" ment of his new gold fields, and no man could be better chosen for the task. At the same time the Egyptian ruler is fully conâ€" vinced that all schemes of development in his dominions must now be subjected to commercial tests. The suceess of the new mines will therefore depend on the opinion of European capitalists, and whether they find that the reportsâ€"which will be made in detailâ€"of the results of the expedition offer a new field for the investment of eapital. .

From Makna (Mugna of the maps), the capitel of theland of Midian, up to Akaba at the head of the Gulf, Captain Burton reports the country as auriferous, and he believes the district southwards as far as Gobel Hassaniâ€"a mountain well known to geographersâ€"to possess the same character, He oven goes so far as to ‘say he has brought back to life an ancient California.

The elder was a man of mrost steady habits, and had received a good ’busineu education, but the younger was inclined to be dissipated, and, indeed, had figured in so many scrapes 2t home that his departure was not regretted in his native village. The two brothers lived for a short time in San Francisco, while they looked for situations. The younger brother, however, fell into bad company, and they separated by mutual consent. The elder brother obtained a situation in a wholesale store as porter, and by his dilâ€" rgence and steadiness so worked himself into the confidence of his employers that }he rose from the position to that of partâ€" ner in the firm. He lately purchased a house in Bush street, married a lady with considerable fortune of her own, and on last Christmas Eve, he saw three beautiâ€" ful children around him, enjoying the deâ€" lights of a Christmas tree. The family reâ€" tired at midnight, but the gentleman had hardly closed his eyes when he was awakâ€" ened by a noise down stairs, and moving stealthily to the parlor with a revolver in his hand, he saw a man endeavoring to open the buffet where he kept his silver. Levelling his revolver at the thief‘s head, he exclaimed, "Stop or you are a dead man." The jimmy dropped from the hands of the burglar, who, falling on his knees, cried out, "As God is my judge, Robert, I did not know you lived here!" â€" The gentleman then discovered to his horror that the burâ€" glar whom he was about to shoot was the ‘ younger brother whom he had not met ; for nearly ten years. ‘That night the burâ€" i glar slept peacefully under the roof of ln's‘ forgiving Lbrother, who assured a friend ; with tears in his eyes, that he was about to give him employment in his own store, ; and that hehad never spent a Lappier: Christmas.â€"San Francisco Call, ] Orrawa, June 12.
