BT CAROLINE F. TREStOTf.
A ynttnir mnn, attited In n ftorreously cr..
orerl dressing pown, pat befi)ro tho prate in
a fashionable lioardinfj linttse, with his heels
elevntfd on the fenrlcr. The morning jiapcr
wns in li is hnnrl nml he was occupied in
a leisurely penionl of the advertisements.
"Let me sop," ho soliloquized, "what's the
opera to night? Der Frteschuti, on my life.
Just whnt I've been wanting to see I guess
I'll go. But hold on my boy j there's the
question of supplies 1 must investigate my
exchequer."
Edmund Hustings drew his wallet from
its repository, and opened it disclosing
seventy-five Tents in postal currency, two
htrrso railway tickets, and three postage
stamps.
The possessor of this treasure looked tip
blankly.
Beventy-five cetits '." lie ejaculated. "That
would barely pity for a seat in the dress
circle, and it would never do f:ir me to be
seen there. What would Mary Kidder say,
it in viewing the house through her opera I
gia-s, she would espy mo there? That
would dish mo completely. As it is, I think
.there's a fair chanco of making her Mrs.
Hastings. Her eight thousand would ena
ble nie to live very comfortably.''
A knock at the door interrupted the sum
ming of his brileiant prospects.
''Come in," answered the young man
lazily."
"It's a letter for yon, Mr. Hastings," said
the servant who entered.
"All right ! lay it on the table."
The servant did as required and left the
room.
"Wender who it's from," paid Edward,
inditVerently. "Let me cee what it is like."
He took up the missive and quickly drop
ped it with a gesture of disgust.
"Pooh ! how villainously it smells of on
ions and tobacco 1 A dirty yellow envelope,
too, witii the address l tinning up hill. I'll
be afrtiid to open it, if soap and water
weren't close at hand.
Curiosity finally overcame his repugnance
and lie opened the unpromising billet.
It read is follows ;
MrsTXR Hastings ; Stir, it's yur bill fur
washing I sind you, stir, and it's very much
I want the money, bein' as two of my chil
ders is sick, and its nine dollars, sur, which
you have pade me anything, sur, for two
months an' I hope you won't mtiik me wate
any longer, for it's tiled of waiting I am.
I'll tome for the money to morrow inornin',
punctootil, Btvd I hope you'll have it reddyt
so no more at picsint from
Uniihikt McnpnT.
"Xo more from Uridgct Murphy I" re
prated young Hustings. "Well, I should
think Iiridget with the small Ii had said all
that was necessary. Hy the way, it's rather
an interesting question where I'm to get tho
n tie dollars this interesting female expects
to receive. Can I exptnd my seventy-live
cents to nine dollars by a trick of legerde
main ? My quarterly ullowance doesn't full
due for six weeks, und the governor has a
d. eided nvi rsion to advancing funds."
He por.dered a moment and then starting
with a bright idea anil exclaimed.
"Egad, 1 have it. I'll offer myself to Ma
ry Kidder at once. She can't refuse me. I
Hatter myself my figure is not to be met
with every day."
He arose anil surveyed his handsome fig
ure complacently in the mirror.
"Well, here goes," he said nfter a pause.
"Let nm see I'll write to Hiidget first.
I'll tell her I'm on the point of marrying a
wealthy young lady, and will settle her lit
tle bill immediately afterwards, and give
her a present beside. I must bo very po
lite."
He wrote the tor five minutes, producing
the following note :
My Hkaii Mabam : (That will flatter her)
I am expecting to marry a rich young hu'y
very noon. As soon as I am inurrieil l win
pay your little bill, and to pay you lor wait
ing I will make you a handsome present be
sides. You may call for my clothes ou next
Monday morning.
Edmund Hastings.
"Xdw for a letter to Miss Kidder. That
will take me longer."
After some time our hero finished a note
which it would bo cruel to reproduce here.
Enough to know that it eloquently portray
ed the passion that consumed his heart, and
intimating that if his suit wns unfavorably
regarded, ho would be carried off by some
withering disease, if indeed, in his despair,
I.e wus not tempted to put an end to ex
ist ence;
"I guess that will do the work," he
thought, "at any rate it ought to."
Ho enclosed the notes in envelopes, stamp
theiu nml rang for tho servant.
"Put them in the post," said ho, indolent
ly. Unfortunate Hustings 1 In his careless
ness he hud unconsciously put the notes in
to the wrong envelopes, so that the declara
tion of love went to Iiridget Murphy, and
tile "promise to pay" was duly received and
opened '.iy Miss Mury Kidder. Of this mis
take Edmund Hasting was blissfully igno
rant till the next morning's mail brought
the following reply from the young lady.
"Mu I'dmcnu Hastings Sik : I have to
acknowledge tho receipt of a very singulal
note from you, wtitteu as I observe, yester
day. In it you inform me that you are expect
ing to marry a rich young lady. I ought to
feel Cattered that you make me a confident
in so delicate a mtsMer. I trust the young
lady do I know her ? possesses other
qualities in addition to her wealth, for I can
hardly suppose that this alone would be
sufficient to insure her husband's happiness.
You must excuse my writing so plainly;
but you would not have confided in me if
you had not supposed I felt au interest in
your wellare. 1 liere is another pari oi your
letter that I do not so well ttuderstand. You
any, "when I am married I will pay your
bill." I am quite unconscious of having
any bill aguinat you. Nevertheless, I can
not but applaud your honest intentions and
rintegrity of purpose. 1 trust you will nbt
consider it indelicate in me to request tno
acceptance of tho amount of this bill, what
ever it may be. You will perhaps be kind
enough to invest it in some appropriate
preseittfTor this young lady whom you are
expecting to honor with your hand. With
it you will be kind enough to offer my best
wishes tor her happiness.,
"There is another allusion which I Sod
equally difficult to understand. You say,
"you will call for my clothes as usual on
next Monday.' Now, Mr. Hastings, what
should I want with your clothes? I could'nt
wear them, you know. Perhaps you mean
that they should be considered a security to
lie Uttle bill you refer to. put it is quite
o.noff'eMarv. J tea MtirVy willing to troit
SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 13,
to your honesty in tho matter, even if the
marriage with the rich young lady does not
come off. You need not expect me, there
fore on Monday morning.
"Yours respectfully,
"Makt Ktniinn."
"The d ickensl" exclaimed Edmund
Hastings, as he finished this epistle. Here's
a pretty pickle. If I haven't gone and ex
changed notes. I'm dished in that quarter,
that's certain; What a dueced sarcastic let
ter that girl can write. I wunder what
Bridget Murphy will think of tho other."
He was not left long in doubt.
The door suddenly burst wide open, and
a stout, burly daughter of Erin charged in
precipitately, overturning a wash-stand, and
rusncd at our astonished hero, encircling
hitn with brawny anus and hugged exul
tantly. "What does this mean ?" cxclnimed Ed
mund, dismayed. ."Are you goiu'j to mur
der me ?" . - T
"O, my darlint!" she exclaimed, and have
yon loved me so long and I never know it.
And it's so much ye love mo that yc'll shoot
ycr brains out if I dont marry ye. Sure I
will, for ye'r a handsome, ginlale young gin
tleman as ever I sit my eyes upon."
"Stop, my good woman, there's a mistake
somewuero," exclaimed our here, breathless
ly." "No mistake at all. Sure didn't I radc
your beautiful letter with my own eyes
leastways my cousin Pat read it for my life,
and sure I enmo right away for fear you'd
put an ind to ycr blessed life, out of despair
like. But shur it's Uridgct Murphy that's
glad to becomo your dear wife ; and the
children cried for joy when I told 'em of the
fine young gintlcnian thnt they wquIiI have
for a new father and Tim that's my old
est ho came with me this morniu' to see
you.
"Tim, my darlint don't bo bashful like,
but come aud hug your new father," pro
ceeded tho voluble Mrs. Murphy.
A clumsy lad of thirteen seized Mr. Has
tings and nearly overpowered him with a
fervent display of affection.
"Stop I stop!" exclaimed our unlucky he
ro once more. "Are ycit mad ?" . :
"It's only wid joy," answered Mrs. Mur
phy. "When will wo be married ? Sliure
I'm ready to go to the praste this blessed
minute." .
Edmund drew behind a rocking chair as
he saw her making preparations for another
plunge.
"It's all a mistake," said lie hurriedly, "I
didn't mean that letter for you 1 wrote it
for some one else."
"Didn't mane it for me, yo mild destver?"
said Bridget irefttlly. "Then give mo my
money, ye ould Fpalpeen. Yc'd chute an
Honest woman out of her dues, would ye ("
Mrs. Murphy advanced towurfl him with
a different nnd less affectionate aspect.
Edmund hurriedly promised to pay her
the same day, if she would desist, nud with
some relut'tunce she consented.
He contrived to keep his word, but how
ho procured tho money was a mystery to all
but himself an.l th pawnbroker. Tho bill
paid, ho at once found a new washerwoman,
having a nervous dread of Mrs. Murphy,
which the events of the morning seemed to
justify.
He is still on the lookout for a young lady
with expectations. Miss Kidder is lost to
him forever, having accepted the hand ;f
another, and less interested lover, with
whom she is now making tho tour of Eu
rope. a Goon Ai'j'irrini:.
Mrs. Skimpin wns a frugal farmers' wife
a frugal farmer's frugal wile and they were
reported by their neighbors to bo so econo
mical that on one occasion they were de
tected in making a dinner together from a
scrap of potato-skins and clam-shell:;. This
may hare been nil exaggeration, fur they
did not always live in that way, ns tho Inf
lowing incident sufficiently proves.
One day, while Mrs. Skimpin was kr.it
tiug in the porch, a thin aril low sized littlu
young man looked over the fence at her and
asked hi t if she had such a thing us it slice
of bread in the house.
"Well, sir," said she, "I haven't i slice of
bread, for there's none cnt; I have got a few
crusts, aud 1 suppose you wouldn't like to
eat them."
Not more than one, tuifaui; I only want
just a nibble."-
" 1 hen you may come in, and perhaps you
would like a drink of good cold water with
it. Our water is the best anywhere."
The young man entered the house, remark
ing :
"I am a very very small cater, ma'am, like
all our family, aud never cat much at a
time ; but 1 am in the habit of taking just
the smallest bite in tho world, you know,
between meals I've had my breakfast about
two hours ago and so, us I said, I dou'l

thing, if you sUouldhiro me, and want uie,
ever so much.
This was a great relief to Mrs. Skimpin,
for there was a louf and three or lour pounds
of boiled ham in the closet, nnd she bud
been fearful that when she opened it they
might temnt his appetite.
"A small eater not hungry only u nih
ble"refleeted she; "well, if that's the case
ho could'nt do much harm, if I should set
the bread and httin ou the table. It would
look better, and cost me nothing."
Accordingly sho did so, not forgetting to
place the crustE there also, mid btidu huu
sit down, while she went for miuiu fresh wu
ter. "Don't, ma'am, don't. I'm sure your too
liberal. My 1 Here's euougli iiere for an
army. I couldti't touch it, I'm sure."
This re-assurance was uhurtuing to her.
"How I like," exclaimed she, "to seo a
mau who is a small eater. Now I think of
it, as you aint going to touch anything but
the crusts, I've got some cold ytsterdayV
broth iu the closet the least might sour
and I'll set that on, for a kind vi relish."
And that she did.
"You're all heart, ma'am ; all heart. Out
of politeuess, I suppose I ought to cur. a wa

trouble of sitting it on the table."
And bo cut about uu ounce from it, and
begau to eat, very slowly.
Here a a fpoou tor the brotn, ' sail sue,
anxiously, noticing the uet. "And if you

"Just so, ma'am."
'You can help yourself to broth- I de

the had anticipated; and when she returned

tad havoc with tho ham. . Two pounds at

self. It would tlo no good. Tho deed was
done, and ho must certainly bo filled by this
time, though he tlid not leave the table.
"Ho was waiting for fiio bite to settle," he
said.
"And, then I suppose he'll go," thought
she; and under no apprehension of a further
attack on the bread and ham, she left the
room angrily, and resumed her knitting on
the porch, momentarily expecting him to
coifte out.
"The greedy pig!" sighed she. He's
stuffed himself full ns a sassidge. and no
wonder he feels lnzy now. I shouldn't be
