It seemed to Lydia Kessoa that night as if her father never would be through reading the weekly pipe-, as he sat con tentedly by the shaded lamp with bis spectacles balanced cn the bridge of Lis line Iloinun nos-, and his comfortable, slippered feet erased one over the other, while the hands of the wooden clock traveled t!owly from S to half-past S, and froai half-past S to !'. " I dou't see what be can possibly find to interest Lhn," said I.ydialo herstdf. "I aui sure he mu-t have read that account-of the burning ofl'i'acon Pleyel's barn at least four times, aud 1 do believe he knows the list of prices at the county fair by heart. Of all the paper?, the Un.'y Trutnj4t Hii4 ia certainly the niObt etupid I ever saw. And dear, poor Dick must be half frozen to death out there in the cora-hou-se." For here was the root of the matter. Pretty Lydia was in love wi:h Diet Churchill, who was steadfastly discoun tenanced by old Mr. Kessca ; and this sly yonnjj woman, with black-b'ae eyes and the dimple in her chin, was actually in the habit of indulging Dick with a tire side chat after the old gentleman jjaj plodded bis way leisurely np to bed, which he did very soon after S o'clock. "One caa't fa to bed at sunset, like the chi'tkens," reasoned Lydia to herself. "And I must see Dick sometimes, an J it's a deal tco lonely and cold to meet under the apple trees in the orchard any more ; and as long as I'm darning the stockings and mending father's clothes, I'm sure it cin't signify to him what company I have." Put Mr. Kessoa laid down the W.-siOj Tfnnql ,W- at last, and cleared his throat, with a prodigious noise. ' I see, Lydia," eaid he, "th-.it 'Squire Grex has took the premium again for his tit cattle." "Has he? said Lydia, ind'uTerently. "Dreadful f-eh:inlel mtn, S'ipiire Oex," remarked Mr. Kesson, staring at the fire. "Is her "And I can't help hopin, Lydia," added the old man, at last removing his ejes from the smoldering logs and fixing them solemnly on his daughter's face, "that you'll make up your mind to recon siderthe offer he wa9 good enough to make you last month." "Father." said Lydia, reddening to the roots of her hair, "I thought that was ail past aud gone." "It ain't too late yet to be Mr, (jrex, if-" "Yes, it is 1" burst out Lydia. "I never will marry that horrid, fat disagreeable old man, not if there was nobody else in the world 1" "Humph:" said Mr. Kessoa. '.Yell, p'r'aps the day will come when you will be sorry fjr if, Lydia. Young f jlks think old folk3 ar fools, but old folks know that young fjlks are, Dick Churchill hain't been here lately, has he?" he ad ded, sharply.' "Dick Churchill, father?" "Pecause," said the elderly stje, with some Asperity, "I won't have hiia ou the place, and eo I tell you. If you won't marry a we'd tj-do, respectable member of society like 'fpira David Gres, yoa certainly shan't throw yourself away on a vagabond like D.ck Courchill." Lydia flushed deeply, and bit oJ the end of her net dletul of darning cotton with considerably mre empliasls thia the occasion eeeined to demand, but she said nothing. And Mr. Kts-on uttered another resounding "Aheai :" and went out. Cat not to bed. Tii rough sune strange Citality he took it into his bald head to saunter out of the back door aud look at ths eky. "Cloudy," said he to himself, "and raiuia' A smart sprinkle. Well, the wind has been from the Last all day. B'e.ss me, what's that ? It's too late in the sea son fjr fira flies, but I sartinly did see a light in the corn-crib !" And instead of going to bed. as Lydia had fondly hoped he would, Mr. Kessoa rapped hiauelf ia an old army blanket and crept stealthily out toward the corn crib. Pick Churchill, watching and waiting for the candle in the middle pine of the window, which was the telegraphic sig nal between htm and Lydia, had become thoroughly chilled and wearied, and in an evil marrer.t had lighted a cigar to while away the 1 edging moments. "Cut it won't do to smoke here," said Dick to himselt toi dry and in flammable a spot. I'll go out under the big pine tree. Phew, how it rains ! Who cjuld have supposa that it would turn into such a night as this?" So just as Dick went out of one door of the corn crib, old Mr. Kesson crept stealthily into the other. The sound of creaking boards, and the fall of an ear corn, dislodging all the rest, startled Dick ; he turned to see a spectral figure cloning the corn-crib behind it. "Hello !" said Dick. "Curglars !" Lack of promptness never had been one of Caarchill'a characteristics. He ESTABLISHED 1827. flung down the cigar, whose fiery end bad already wrought its mission of mis chief. "I'll settle this matter," thought lie ; andhe tiuietly bolted both the corn house dooraon the outside, securing them with the strong wooden pin which belonged to them. "There!" said he to himself. "I rath er think he'll keep for the present. Now I'il go aud have a nice chat with Lydia, for I see that the candle has found its a ay to the right place at l.-vrt, and I'll notify the constables and rouse up old Kessoa. Cut I dou't think there's aay occasion for hurry." It was not until the old clock's hands touched the figure of midnight that Dick got through with all that he ha I say to pretty Lydia. "Merry on us!" nail Lydia, as the twelve strokes buried hoarsely on the listening ear of night, "how awfully late it is!" "Yes, rather so," said Pick, suddenly rem?mbering his prisoner. "And I sup po the fellow outside thinks so, too." "What fellow onbiide?" cried Lydia, opening her eyes w ide. "Now, don't be frightened, pet," Haid Pick. I thought there was no Die in disturbing you about it ; but there is a burglar securely penned np in the corn house outside, aad has been for the last tiro hours." "A burglar, Dick?" "Just that exactly, my love." "Oh, Pick ! Ob, Dick !" cried Lydia, clinging convulsively to bis arm. "A burglar! Will he kill us? Will he mur der us ?" "Darling, don't worry," sail Dick, taking advantage of the sudden opportu nity to administer a hug and several kia sis to his sweetheart. "If there's tbe any killing or murdering done, it won't bo while I'm around." "Cut father ! Let me call father ?" "My pet, what on earth should we dis turb the old gentleman for?"' said Dii k. Til just gooutsni and interview the fellow, and then I'll wake up the chore boy and send him over to Sam Hail, at the constable's house, for reinforcements.' "Cut Dick, dou't go. Suppose he were to shoot or stab you !" cri'jd Lydia, hys terica! iv "I rather think it will taketTo to make that bargain," observed Dick, inarching out, with the big dark lantern in one hand and Mr. Kelson's big, old fashion ed gun in the cither; while Lydia from the doorstep, watched the triumphal pro gress with a palpitating heart. Old Mr. Kesson, hoarse with bawling, and lame in the wrists w ith pounding at the relentless-closed doors, was overjoy ed to hear advancing footsep3. ' It me out he roared. Thieves ! Vil lains! Open the br ! ' "Oh, yes, I think I seo myself, said Dick, turning a tljod of light from the dark lantern in the direction of Mr. Kea son's voice. "I'll settle you. Kh! Hello! Way, its Mr. Kesson." "It's Dick Chnrchill!" shouted the old man. "My dear Churchill, I never was so glad to see anyone in uiy life. Open the door! Let me out ! There havu been burglars about !"' "Yoa don't teil me so! cried Dick. "As sure as I live and breathe, said the old gentleman, trembling all over with excitement and fatigue, Send for the constables. Telegraph to Yaleville at ouce for the special police. They act ually had the impudence to bolt rue in here while they went to rob my Loose and murder all my family in their beda." "Well, sir," said Dick, somewhat sheep ishly, "nobody is robbed or murdered ia your house, because I fortunately hap pened to be calling onMiss Lydia and " "It niuit have been through a special interposition of Providecce," fervently cried Mr. Kesson. "Shake hands with me, Churchill. I look upon you as u y preserver and that of my daughter; and hope you won't bear any malice for any thing I may have been hasty and thought less enough to say in the pat."

Oh, dear, oh, dear, what should I have done wittiout you, Dick !" The constables came, but, strange to say, they could not find any trace of the burglars.

Hawthorne used to siy, "God may for give sins, but awkwardnesx has no for giveness in heaven or in earth." If for awkwardness wesubstitute undue candor, wo might still be speaking temperately. You do not invite to the christening the caller who looked kindly but firmly at your pretty baby, and said she thought this child would be lather goodlookiiig, as he resembled his father's family. It may be sifely said that the person who assures ua that we have failt-l olf live years in one w ill never be dear in mem ory. She has spoken the truth, but from henceforth we shun her as if she w ere a modern S ipphira. If we feel sdf elated to tell our friends the unpleasaui things which have been said, no matter bow tinlhfui'v, about themselves or those ! dt-ar to thi'iii. we must extect lo share in the odium of t he lmssage delivered. Cy the laws of some occult science not yet formulate 1 we become in a meiS'ire what we are: told we are. To the woman w ho has said we look dead aud faded every tinite of yellow in our skin responds, and we believe that Much time pas;ed in her society would convert m into a mummy. When with those in whose love and appreciation we haveontidence, we bring forth the answering fruits cf worth and loveliness, while the con sciousness that our ass-K-uU-s consider us stupid and unamiablo has a tendency to paralyze every brilliant ttlributa and unsehisb action. "Kindness, kindly ex pressed," like the witch-hr.zel nand, makes the desert blossom like a rose, while the follower cf undue candor losrs half the sweetness and fruitage "f life. Are we to infer, then, that candor al courtesy are antagonistic ? P y r.o means ; but w believe that veracity should be governed by the rn'es of tiii old n-irs-ry game of ''How, when, and w here." The manner of speaking the truth divinely taught held this injunction, "in love."' Tl.e candor that publicly criticises or that points out defects at the time and place where these defeats cannot b remedied is unpardonable. The sum of the wholD matter is this ; while tho loe of truth should le the car lhial point of our religion, our creed should be broud ecotuh to embrace the gracious precedent of the Ltruias of wisdom in who-e li-: Wis the law of kindnefs. lh:r; i-; ?.-.; r.

A curiously allressel lel'.er la'ely passed through the post ciT;ee at Madrid, which was deciphered and correctly delived, notwithstanding all diilicuhies. The address was a perf.-ct rebus. At the left-hand side was the figure of a lady : it was ciear, therefore, to which sex the recipient should belong. Over the lady's head the saa w.u rising, hence her name wa infjrre l t ) ba Aurora. For her surname stoo-.t a hill with a castle at its foot, which gives us ' Moa testy Csstello." Next corr.es tl.e town, for which the plan of a city was drawD, on which the Alhambra was legible. This indicated Granada, but ia ordtr to leave no doubt possible, a pomegranate was drawn btsi le the p!-n. To complete the address a number was indicated in or.e. of the streets of the ci'y plan. Tl.e postal authorities took three days to study tii is curiosity, and then triumph antly delivered the letter to ' Snorlta Aurora Montes v Cas'.-llo, Azacayas, No. l''1.

The newspaper man has same friends that the world knows not of: or if it does it finds them out accidentally. There is the old s'i!'cri'er who reads the paper religiously, lives by it, swears by it and w ill die its frien 1 and s" porter. His children read to each other from itjoluuius ; they rend the "a Is" and all. When that paper sty s a thing he is firmly convinced of its truth. He knows it is just so, and you had as well undertake to put the rock of iibraltar on a wheelbarrow and cart it across the At antic to tha World's Fair as to move him from Lis opinion. If Lis paper stated that when the flood su'osi led the a'k rested on the top of a sasafrasstump, he would nut rest until lieh-vl harmoniz ed the statement with the tfts as set f rth in his family bible. Ami then thero is the fellow who asks ti have his pai-er stopped because he takes more papers thau hn cirj read. Very often the fact is he can't read much. More often he thinks it would be Kss exjiensive to borrow it of his neighbor than get it direct from the :lice. We always fe-.d sorry fjr his neighbors when a man stojs his paper. Another friend whom the editor s ts a high estimate on, is the farmer who always comes up to pty his subscription every year whoa he pays his taxes. That's business. Another occasional character is the man who doesn't subscribe, but comes in every week and buys a copy of the paper. Tiiat's extravagance. Sometimes a fellow stops his paper be cau the editor said something that di'ln't exactly coincide with his preroa cived notions. That's foolishness. I'sualiy on his list are a fe persius who tell him what they think of the paper. If it has said something good they pat their hand in that of the editor ari l say so. That's right. Sometimes an tnsar.ctiii.'d soul will take the paper fjr three years and then or hr it stopped without paying for ' it. Thai's --..1! aad cusst diut combined. . .. .

William r.'.ifus' by the way was, the rvd-hairud cat belonging to the three D's aud the three D's were Dick, Dot and Polly. Cut to return to William Rufus' sneez es. They were not only annoying to others, but they were very annoying to William Rufus himself, for he always sneezed at most inconvenient times. More than one mouse Los escaped through hearing that sneeze, and many a bird -for, sad to say, William Rufus was fond of hunting had taken warn ing, and flow ii away from that choking, coughing snee.e. This particular sneeze, however, Sneezd Number One, was far moreannoy ing to the three P's than to William Ku fas himself. It happened this way. Pick and Dot and Dolly were fond of gardening, and Dick and Dot and Dolly had a little piece of garden which was their own. It was e strange garden. There was not a eingle flower in if, bat there was a robbers' cave a small one, big enough for doll robbers and there was also a ti ny pond, with paper boats sailing on it. It was a curious garden, and everyone laughed at it. One day it was a wet day, too the three D's discovered that they didn't like being laughed at, so Pick determined aad Polly made up her mind, and Pot, decided that there should be a change ia the girden, that it should liecomea real garden a flower grd -a. Pick picked ail the big snow drops in father's -.r len, IVily borrowed nurse's buttou-l ox and Dot took three little pa per peclf t3 of seeds from the greenhouse sheif. T:u-a they set to work, quite for get'o g that nurse Lad told theia not to 1 ay ia the garden, because it was too Wet. W::lium Ru.'js always helped with tl.e -j.trder.ir.g ; be helped the three l's in everything they did, aud oa this occasion he retired 1... hir. 1 a budi to watch the r r.s tuii'g" an I the birds. " We must tiil up the !.ond," said Pick. "With buttons," said Doily. So the pond was tilled up w ith the con- teats of nurse's button-box. j "Must we knock down the robbers' j cave?" said Pick ii!y, for Dick was; very f ir.d of the roblwrs' cave. j Cut Pjt was firm. " The robbers' cave must be turned ia- to a 9uowdrop bed,' sai J Dot. j Di.k sighed, but Dolly nodded her head, as much as to say, " Pjt is right :" i and Pick set to w ork to flatten the cave ! into a ground flowerbed, an 1 to stick the I snowdrops into it. ! " No the seeds," said P it. " I wonder j which is the rvht way to put them in"' Gut it was j 1st at this moment that W.U'a n Rufus sneezed bis usual choking coughing sneeze. livery bird near the bush chirped aad tlew high up into the air, and there were so many birds startled by the sneee that j Chambers, the gardener, noticed them, i " No what are those birds after ?"

" Cat we did," said Doily. "And it was very puldly ia our gar den," said Dot. " It al ways i.-," said Dick. " I thiak it was very silly of yoa to catch cold. If you hain't caught cold nobody would have ' There's some one coming upstairs," said Dolly, listening. " If it's mother, let's tell," said Pot, "All right," says Dick. Cat it was father who opened the nur sery door not nnther. " Well, children," said father, " I am afraid you do not desive a story to night." The threu children looked very solemn. It was a punishment to be deprived of their "good-night" story. "Father," said Dick bravely, "may we tell yoa a story ?" " Is it the story of a sneeze ?" asked father, looking at Dot. " Yes," said Dick crossly : " why Dot waited to catch col 1 I can't think." I didn't want," suid poor Dot. " la that the story V asked father. Yoa sie," said Dick, " we wanted to make our garden a real garden, to we filled op the pond with buttons, and knocked down th robber's cave, and put in tho seeds." "Seeds?" said father quickly, which seeds ?" The children looked rather frightened. " We found them on the shelf," said Dolly. "In the greenhouse," said lot, " Then Chambers was right "iuid fath er. " He sai l it was sure to l 'them children.' Pi yon know, Pn k, and ll aud lVl'y, that Hum; were very precious seeiis, and that I have been avoiding Chamliers for loosing them."

I am afraid we sbant be able to find them," said father. " Cut thescexls are ia the papers," said Pot. " We can find the paper bags." Father looked astonished. " The earth was so dirty," said Dolly, "and they looked so tidy in the papers." Theu father laughed, he really could n -t belpit; blithe looked solemn again when lot eneeed loudly. " It wan very naughty of you," he said. " I L"pe you havn't all caught co!d.", " Cut we are very sorry,"' said ?SJ; "About the snowdrops, and the seed and the going out, and the buttons, aad the catching cold, it is a great deal to be sorry for," said Po'ly.
