Well for him that ho possessed fortitu Jo and persistence, lie asked no man's advice touching the manner of lifo he should pursue. At the age of two-and-twonty rhil ip Lartol came home from sea with hia mind made up that he would go to sea no more, nt least for the present. Not as most youthi study did Philip Burlol Study. He did not cdst about for tho great est sum of present comforts and joys. In tho solitudes of his chamber, at an obscure tavern', he sat and ponder ed. Tho mental picturo ho drew was old age. What kind of old ago would h like to arrive at? s-' Tfiat was the question in hia mind, and after long ti ml -serious study ho concluded rhut ho would like for the surroundings of his advancing years, and he also planned what he would do toward the desired end. And Philip Bartol went out and bought him a knapsack, into which he placed a change of clothing, and then, iu a stout, homely garb such- a garb as toilers wear he was ready to set forth. Despite tho bronze upon hia skin and tho garb of toil that clothed him, Philip was a handsome man. He was tall and strong, full and perfect in every manly point, erect ana Crm.with a magnificent head upon his broad shoulders, and a face in which tho dauntless light of honor and courago enhanced an otherwise classic beauty. "Where now, Philip?" asked a friend who had observed his prepara tions. "Into the country, Tom, in search of a home." "A home?" "Yes, a home. That's what I am going to try to find." And on tho next day Philip went away. It was on an evening in June that Philip Bartol arrived iu the quiet village of Ashford, and here' sought for work. He found it upon tho farm of a worthy man wlio was glad eneugh to securo the service of so ablo aud honest an appearing laborer. The farmer was a Mr. Larrabe, and deacon of the village church. His dwelling was in the village, his broad acres stretching away over the hills and vales beyond. Thilip worked well, and as ho work ed ho sang. Saturdny evening came, and tho church choir met at the dea con's house for practice. Would not Philip join them? Without pride Philip. fcJt that his voice would be a help to them, and he joined them cheerfully. A help indeed ! Such a voice had ucver been heard in Ashford before Heaven makes our native leaders, and we recognize and adopt them. Philip Bartol could not sing in that choir and not lead it. Of course he sat among tho choir on the Sabbath and thus he reaped at a bound into the good graces of the honest people of that country town. On that Saturday evening, in the deacon's parlor, Philip heard a sound that startled him. It was a female voico, as clear aa a flute and as soft and sweet ns the dulcimer of a mock ing bird. In its lowest and highest straina there was not a harsh cadence. It was sweet and pure, and sweet aud pure only. Such a voice is not only attractive, but is an index to the in ner being. Philip looked at the owner of the voice and he was not disappointed. She was a girl just bursting into per fect womanhood, perhaps twenty years of age, healthiul and glowing, her form exactly such as Philip would have chosen for his model of female .perfection, and her dress simple and neat. Her face was a sunlit scene of loveliness never so happy as when she was singing with her friends and the rich, brown ringlets floated down over her shoulders, sweeping back from her frank, handsome brow, with not a particle of ornamentation . save the wave and the glosa which nature had given them. At the first recess the doaoon, who had been an appreciative listener, in troduced bis new acquisition to the other singers, and 'thus Philip found that the girl with the sweet voice and sunny face wag Clara Palmer, tho daughter of the village physician. When they resumed their places for singing again, Philip took a place in the center. These people were not en vious. They recognized the quality of this new singer, and they sought at once to make proper use of it. And thus Philip Bartol found him Belf by the aide of Clara Palmer. Those of you who have sung in a choir, or iu chorus, know how tht weaker lean upon the strong how the timid depend upon the loading of the sure and confident. Aa naturally aa water runs down hill and aa soft clouds float in the air, did Clara,wheu she first heard this strong, truo voice lean npon it. She leaned upon its prompt and bold rythra, and upon its rich and exact harmony. She felt that gho was singing better than she had ever sung before, and others may have thought the same. "Oh," cried Nettio Blake, when a pause gtme in the singing, "why can't we sing the 'Anthem of the Redeemed?' Mr. Bnrtol and Clara can siog the duct, I am sure." The idea was caught up eagerly by others, and Philip consented to try it. The duet is one of the most beautiful compositions ever put into'churcb mu sic, and Philip knew it, and ho also knew that much' of the effect would depend" upon the organ accompani ment. The organist was a lady, and ho asked her if she could play It. She said sho could try. She tried and blundered. Philip sat down and play ed it for her. She caught the inspira tion and succeeded upon the next trial. And then came tho trial with Clara. She had tried it often, but never satis fied herself. Now, however, she had a guide suro and reliable With her own surpassing voice and ear it was easy to keep time aud tuno with Philip Bartol. And' thus Philip Bartol becamo ac quainted with Clara Palmer, and the first great heart-throb of pure.deep joy he had ever felt he felt when ho dis covered that the beautiful girl looked up to him' tenderly and confidingly. There is a wouderous power in music for reaching down into the human heart and awakening the tenderer soul borne instincts. On tho last of. August the religious society of Ashford held a picnic, and Philip invited Clara to go with him. At this picnic a party was upset up on the lake, and two children would have been drowned had not Philip Bartol plunged into the deep water and saved them. Philip came forth drenched aud dripping from the lake, but he came forth'a hero, and the blessings which werejjshowcred upou him by the par euts and friends of those whom he had saved more than compensated him. "I muBt bo a sorry sight," he said, aa he stood dripping before Clara. "It was a'noble baptism," sho an swered him. And she took his hand, and there were, tears with her smiles. And then he was teu thousand times repaid. The cool days of autumn came, and one evening Philip Bartol sought Dr. Palmer in Lis private study. Tho doctor was a plaM, practical man, upright and large hnrted. Philip stated bis busiueS fairly and straightforwardly. He wished to know if he might ofTer himself to Clara. "I have found her all I can ever hope to gain in a wife," ho said, "and I love her truly and well'. She is my lirst and only love. I am au orphan, sir, and of relatives near and dear I have none living." My rutnio has nev er been dishonored, unless patient, humble toil -may be dishonor. Of proporty I havo managed to lay up enough to purchase a good farm ; or at least, I could nearly pay for it. I have a good cducatiou which I may turn to account in the future. Touch ing my antecedents, sir, I have re quested Deacon Larrabe to correspond with parties in the city with whom he is acquainted, and for the rosult I re fer you to him." The good doctor waa roally troublod. "This ia not entirely unexpected," he said. "1 saw the Deacon to-day, aud ho told mo- what he had done at your desire. Upon that point I am satisfied. But, sir, I am very poor poorer than you think. Fven ray home is mortgaged, and I cannot say that tho hoise which I drivo is mine. My labors, here have been rather more of love than profit. Such labors feed the heart but do not aid to material suhsistanco. "My good sir," said Philip with a pathos that was heart-reaching, "I can only promise you this: If you will give me Clara for my wife, and she will consent so to bo, I will devote my life to her welfare. I am sure I can provide- at least a comfortable home to start with. It has been my darling aim to fiud home for myself a home where love aud blesning should orown my life. With your sweet-minded child for my partner I believe that home will be mine." The doctor could not find it in his heart to say nay, and ho told the youth that he might go and seek Clara. It waa no uncertain errand beyond this. Philip knew that Clara's heart waa all his own he had known it for mouths. But would she consent to share hia humble home? ' He found her and asked ber the question. The great joy of life was hera when she heard it ; and she answered it up on his bosom heart to heart to live for him and to love him always. "Will you buy a farm in Ashford?" Clara asked one day as they were planning for the future. "Do you think you would like the life on a farm, Clara?" "Any life with you, dr.rling. Oh, Philip, you don'fknow how I love you, atid how sweet it will be to holp you bear the burden of life." Tears of joy rolled down rhilip's checks aa he held the dear one to his bosom. "When wo are married wo will de cido upon our future homo. I shall wish yon to select it." And tho morning of tho wedding at length arrived. Before the invited guests had assembled Philip placed in Clara's hands a large scaled envelope. "It is for you to give to your father," he said. v-... "Shall I givo it to him now ?" sho asked. t "If you look at tho superscription you- will seo that the preseut is hardly the proper time." Sho looked and read : "For Dr. Amos Palmer, as a slight token of love and devotion from his daughter Clara Bartol." . She blushed and trembled, but she waa very happy. "Is it poetry ?" sho asked, feeliug the crumbling paper within tho en velope. "No, sweet love, ia it proso." In limo tho company were assem bled, and Philip aud Clara knelt be fore the aged clergyman. When the ceremony was. completed, and tho happy pair had been duly sa luted and congratulated, Clara remem bered the euvelopo, aud she carried it aud gavo to her lather. "Clara I what is that?" ho cried. "Open the envelope," whispered Clara. 'Thilip says it 'a prose. I want to see.' He says it is my gift. Oh, I fiope it will please you. The doctor tore open tho envelope, and the enclosed papers were revealed. First was the mortgage deed upon his estate, cancelled. Next were half a dozen promissory notes given to dif ferent individuals at diilerent times, with the name of "Amos Palmer" at the bottom ; and tho word "paid" had been written across their faces in red ink. Last was another envelope in which was found a check for $5,000. Just then Philip came up. Clara caught him by the .arm and the old man stood pale and trembling, aa the poor fisherman might have done when he first saw tho genii emerging tho bottle. "My dear father," said Philip with a smile, at tho sumo time winding his arm around Clara and drawing her close to hia bosom, "when I told you that I was an orphan with no near rel atives living, I did not tell you all my misfortunes or fortune if you ple.ase so to call it of having had landed upon my youthful shouklers an estate, which, when I returned from Iudia, I found had grown to immense propor tions. Do you wonder that I felt anx ious? Do you wonder-that I felt a strong desire that the woman who was to make and blesa homo should sepa rate me from ray outer fortune? At all events I tbiuk I have done wisely and well. I think I have done the best thing I ever, did. What think you, darling?" "Philip!" "No tears now, my precious wife. We will have your blessing lather?" The old physician struggled up from his state of bewilderment and-caught Philip by the baud. Then he took the hand of his daughter, and he held the two together. "Blesa you, my children! Heaven blesa and keep you forever! Philip, but I do not fear to say that you have gained a truo and faithful heart. Such a daughter as she has been to me can not mako other than a royal and de Voted wife." At, Philip Bartol had done wisely well. He had gained the chief joy of his borne lor the coming tirno, and be knew that the true heart of hia wife waa not to fail him whilo lifo should endure. An Irishman found a government blanket recently, and rolling it up put it under hia arm and walked off, say ing: "Yis, that's moiue U for Pat rick, and S for M'Carty; be mo sowl, but tbia lcarnin' is foiue thing, aa my fayther would say; for if I hadn't an edication I wouldn't have been after fiudin' me blanket." Here ia a discription of a mean church, w hich has a moral in it: "After tho old pastor died the deacons went about for a two-hundred aud-fifty-dol-lar minister, and you can get about as much minister for that price as you can get psalm tunes out of a file." A Down Easi gontleman showed considerable alarm the other evening when ho discovered his wife had loaned the family Bible. When he returned from the house where tho Bible was, ho brought with him $1,000, which he had placed iu it for aafo keeping. Madame de Stael'a daughter, the Baroness de Broglio, was an extraor dinary beauty. Her charms mado snch an impression on Prince Talley. rand that in contemplating them ho was often deficient iu his attentions to her highly gifted mother. One day, being with a party of pleasure on the water, she determined to confounj him, and put this question : "If our vessel waa to be wrecked by a storm, which would you strive to savo first mo or my daughter?" "Madam," in stantly replied Talleyrand, "with tho many talents and acquirements you possess, it would bo an affront to you to suppose that you cannot swim ;L. should thercforo deem it my duty t save tho Baroness first." A Frenchman went into a store at Qticchee, Vt., the other day, and askeii for a bottle of liniment, tho name of which tho clerk didn't clearly under stand, but a bottle of oinmcnt was handed to him, and he was asked if that waa tho kind he desired.. "Oui, ouil" replied the Frenchman, "she bo it, she bo it!" The next day tho doc. tor waa called to attend tho family where tho ointment had been carriod, when it waa discovered that it hail been freely used in seasoning pics, in the place of extract of lemon for which the the man had been sent to the store. A noted pearl-diver of Atlantic City is making arrangements for a hazardous undertaking. He proposes to test the virtue of a newly-invented life-preserver by being carried from New York in a steamer to a distance of not less than two hundred mile from land, and there left to the mercy of tho waves until he shall meet at passing vessel. He will carry with him rations for a week; also signal lights and flags, all being stowed away in a rubber bag about two feet square. He is confident of success; but tho undertaking looks, to common minds, like a hazardous ono. Tho Lewiston (Me) Gazette tells of a lady in that city who,, finding no needles in the cushion where she us ually kept them, concluded to investi gate the interior of the cushion, which had been in use sixteen years. Sho thought a few, a very few, of the thou sands of needles which bad penetrated the bran might have gone through the covering, though no amount of pinch ing and squoeziug revealed their pres ence there, blie accordingly dissected the cushion, and found a mine of over four hundred needles, all in a good state of preservation. While Mr. Lewis Barlow, of New port, Mass., was fishing, lately, back of Fort Walcott, he noticed a huge sword fish coming iu tho directiou of his boat, and before ho could prepare for tho emergency the fish ran his sword through tho bow of tho boat and mado a hole about a foot long. The boat immediately filled with water, and Mr. Barlow's situation was anything but pleasant. Fortunately a man was passing who rescued him aud towed bis boat to tho shore. "Mother," said little Ned one morn ing after having fallen out of bed, "I think I know why I fell out of bed last night. It was because I slept too uear where I got in." Musing a little while, aa if in doubt whether he had given the right explanation, he added, "No, that wan't the reason ; it was be cause I slept too near where I fell out." "Your Honor," said a prisoner to a Paris judge, "my lawyer is not here, and I request a delay of tho case for eight days." "But," said the judge, "you were caught in tho act of theft, what can any lawyer say for you ?" "That is just what I should like to hear," said the prisoner, and the court laughed, but sentenced him to a year. An old hard-shelled Baptist preach er, over in Boylo county Kentucky, onco said that he had, been trying "nigh onto forty year to get rich and serve tho Lord at tho same time; but he had found such a course mighty hard sleddiu'." Tho remark of a littlo eight year old was iu accordance with the wish of many people. "Mothor," said he, "I wish I was built like a hen coop, out of laths aud then the breeze could blow right through me." A rather peculiar man ia Judge Keith, of Virginia, who, after issuing warrants for the recent arrest of Mos by and Payne for dueling, mounted his horse and rode out to see the en counter. A person was boasting that ho was from a high family. "Yes," said a bystander, "I have seen some of the family so high that their ft-ct could not touch the ground."
