Yet tlio bril liantly lighted parlora were thronged with a gay assemblage. AVliy was she. the only one sad ? It wag her oousin Clara's birth night, and when Clara had been asked who Adaline was, the cruel answer was, "only a dependent, a distant relation of father's." Adaline had heard the contemptu ous reply, and hence she was alone and weeping. Adaline sat, her eyes rested on the silvery moon, which was shedding its light full upon her upturned face. That face was one of the most beauti ful imaginable. Tears were gathered in the large, soul-lit eyes, and one fell upon the small white hand. Adaline at this, started up as if an adder had stung her, and brushed the tear-drops from her eves, saying: "Back, tack to your fountain. Al though 1 am only a dependent, I will win a name, and they shall yet be proud of their poor cousin I" Slowly Adaline dropped upon her knees, asking God to guide her in the step she was going to take. When she aroso the guests were do parting, for she could hear the car riages es they rplled away. Yet she did not retire until the dawn of day. Hor slender fingers were flying over the paper on which she was writing. The morning sun was shining bright and beautiful. Mr. Howard Bat alone in his library. lie was thinking of tne past, wuce more tbe gray-haired man was a child, seated around his fa ther's fireside with his brothers and sisters, listening to his kiud Sire's ad vice, or looking to catch his mother's love-lit smile. Then a cloud came be tween him and his life of sunshine. The death-angel claimed his fondly loved mother; another and anothor passed away until all was gone but his idolized sister Ada. Her he saw just verging into wo mauhood. Another vision passed be fore hira, his now proud, aristocratic wife. She had deceived him, it mat tered not how; it was too late now for remedy. His daughters, three iu num ber, had grown up to womanhood, and inherited all their mother's foolish pride. He had heard Clara, the eldest, but the evening before, say that Adaline was only a dependent. The words had sunk deep into his heart. 'Was not Adaline his sister's child ? Again, and Ada passed before htm, arrayed in her hridal robes. He heard her farewell words, and felt her fare well kiss. She was going to her west ern home. A few short yesrs passed by, when one dark day a letter came telling him of his sister's death, then of her husband's and asking him to rear her child as his own. Did he not love that child as his own ? Yes, nobly hast thou done thy duty to thy dead sis ter's child. But alas! thy words were the only kind ones Adaline received. While he sat thus, recalling the past, two soft arras stole around his neck, and a sweet voice said, "Uncle, what are you thinking about?" "Must I toll you that it was about my little pet. Oh ! how louely I shall be when she is gone." "Gone where, Uncle?" "Why to Mrs. Weslbrook's. Did I not promise to send you next month ?" "Yes, Uncle, but I thought you had forgotten it. I am so happy now at the thought of going back to dear Walnut Hill once more; not at leav ing you Uncle," and tears came into her eyes as she kissed him, who cared more for her happiness than for his own. Again she murmured tho words of the night before, "I will win a ntime for his sake." And in a few moments she was walking down the street to wards the post office, bearing in her hand the treasured thoughts that she had penned when hope was almost dead in her heart. "Mother." said Clara Hojvard, "do you know father is going to send Ada line back to school again?" "Yes, I know it and I have told him that she will repay hira with un gratefulness." Just then Emma came iu with a newspaper, saying, "there is such a beautiful piece of poetry written in the Gazette, it is called 'Thoughts of Heaven ;' and tho editor has compli mented the authoress whose name is Lena." CUra read it and poured forth her praises on the writer. Adaline was in the next room, and her heart bounded with joy and hope as she recognized her own poem. We will pass over the farewoll, aud Adaline's sadness at leaving her kind uncle. The "poor dependent" is again Mrs. Westbrook's favorite pupil. Ada lbe tells her secret to her kind pro ceptresd. The name of Lena soeu found its ttepsMkiiti!. 0 way out in the literary world. No one suspected, however that Lena, the gifted poetess, was Adaline Reynolds. Three years, parsed, Adalino wa3 still Villi Mrs. Westbrook, for al though she hd long siuce graduated with the highest honors, she preferred remaining with liar kiud friend, aud assisting her in her duties of labor and love. A now light had dawned upon her also, she loved with a true woman's heart, and was beloved in return. Yet he knew not that he loved the poetess Lena. The world was ring ing with her praise ; and ho too had admired tho heaven-born talent of Lena. Adaline, on her part, knew not yet that Mr. Edward Stanley was some times calld the Hon. Edward Stanley, and was congressman from A . She had met him as Mrs. West brook's cousin, during a visit he had made to her preceptress ; and they had loved instinctively. She had promised to become forever his the ensuing spring. She was seated in a pleasant reverie, when she was interrupted by the- ser vant gir), telling her that an old gen tleman wished to see her. Ho was none other than ber uncle. - Iu a few moments she was clasped in his arms, Mr. Howard thought Adaline mote beautiful than ever; and when Mrs. Westbrook told him Adaline was Lena, tears of joy rolled down his aged cheeks. "Ah, uncle," she said, "who would Lena havo to love her if you were gone?" "Even now, darling," answered her uncle, "I have just given my consent to the Hon. Edward Stanlev. and when you are the congressman's bride, you may nrget your uncle. Adaline could not speak for a mo ment from surprise, then she said : "Never, never, will I forget your kindness to the poor orphan. 1 would not have been what I am now, if it had not been for your generosity. Now, in my days of prosperity I would be ungrateful indeed to forpet you. But why," she exclaimed, blushing, "did you call Edward Stanley a con gressman ?" "Because he really is. Did you not know U ?" "Never until this moment." Just then Mrs. Westbrook entered. Mr. Howard told her why Adaline looked so bewildered. "I intended telling her myself, and ask pardon for the deception I prac tised upon both of them," said Mrs. Westbrook. "I told Edward this eve ning our Lena's history just before he left." When Mr. Howard returned to the city, Adaline accompanied him, but she did not go to his mansion. She stopped with an old schoolmate. It was soon noised about that the gifted and beautiful Lena was in the city, and her true name came out at a grand ball, where her cousin an 1 all their aristocratic frieuds were present.. Adaline was attended by her betrothed husband, Edward Stanley. She was arrayed in a robe of white satin em broidered with silver. Her raven curls were confined by a band of the richest pearls whilst a necklace of the same encircled her snowy neck. Her cheeks were flushed, for she was listen ing to her lover's voice. But when the Misses Howard's arrival was an nounced, proudly, almost haughtily, did she meet them, with a calm digni ty, befitting a queen receiving her sub jects. She was the ruling star of the season. Time passed? Mr. Howard lay on his death-bed, prostrated by a sudden and mortal disease. Adaline hud flown to nurse hira, for Clara had eloped with a worthless adventurer. Edward Stanley was also there. "Uiicle, for so I will call you," he said. "I am sorry to see you so ill." "You have just come in time," said the old man, "to receive my blessing before I die. I have no riht to ask tho favor of you, yet I will. Protect my wife and children." "I will be to them all you wish," solemnly said Edward Stanley. "For your kindness to rue is dearer to me than life." The sufferer smiled faintly. "Oh, God, I thuuk thee,"" ho cried. "I can now die contented." Emma and Annie, tho haughty ball-room belles, were awed by that feceue of death, and vowed that they would live differently, as they pressed a kiss upon their dying father's lips, and saw their mother borne fainting from the room. Clara, tho disobedient child, was not forgotten. "Give her my blessing," said tha old man. "And tell her I freely for give her." A few months and ho was joined by his repentant wife, who died blessing Adaline with her latest breath, ami $2 PEN ANNUM. leaving her two daughter?, now all most penniless, to the poor cousin's care. It wns a bright and beautiful ruorn in the early epriug, when Lena, the gifted and beautiful, stood before the altar, to become the wife of tho dis tinguished Edward Stanley. There, too, were Emma and Annie, looking happily on, while Mrs. West brook smiled her congratulations. It was in a country church they wore married. Littlo children strewed fbwers in the pathway of the bride as she re turned to her carriage. Edward Stanley not oi ly took his wiie, out ner two dependent cousinj. Adaline did nut look upon them as such, however, but treated them as sisters. But where was Clara all this time? for three rears slifl wss not heard from. But one dark winter's night, a pale woman, in tattered garments, might Do seen wending her way down to the Lion, idwarrl btanley s beautiful resi dence. Feebly she knocked for ad mittance. The servant stared at her wonder- ingly, when she asked if Mrs. Stanley was at home. "Tell her yes," said Adaline, who always listened to the voice of d tress. Tho pale supplicant entered, and cast her eyes on her two sisters, who knew her in a moment, and at once Adaline received the wanderer to her heart. Clara had come home to Adaline's to die, a deserted, heart-broken wife. All that could be done, was done to restore her, but in vain. Adaliue'a voice soothed her in her wildest words of delirium, and it was Adaline's voice that convinced ber she could yet be saved. Clara died a true Christian, with the words : "Father, mother ; I come." Thus the proud, contemptuous beau ty owed her last comforts, nav. even her escape from a pauper's grave, to the "poor dependent she bad scorned SUMMED A t'AHR. A good story is told of a gentleman wen Known in town, in connection with a late visit of his to a drugstore. The gentleman's name is Carr, jiod the given name of this particular one will not be revealed iu this item for worlds. This Carr wanted some med icine for his family the other night af ter twelve o'clock, and vfsited a drug store to obtain it. The drug store was closed, and he pulled the bell vig orously. The druggist at once put his head out of an upper window, and inquired sleepily: "Who's there?" "Mr. Carr," responded the gentleman at the bell. "Missed a carr? Well, what's that to me, confound you ! Stop ringing that bell, and go about your business, mnu 1" Down went the win dow, aud the druggist was lost to sight. The discomfited Mr. Carr was lost in blank amazement for quite a time, but finally seized the bell and rang it again frantically. Tho druggist's head appeared at the window again. He was wide awake this time. "Who's there, now?" "Mr. Carr, I tell you 1" "Why, d a your impudence I Who cares if you have! Get out of that, quick I If you're drunk and have missed a car, it's your own lookout. Don't touch that bell again!" "But, l toil you, you idiot, I m Mr, Carr!" "Oh, Lord! why didu't you say so before?"

He went into a saloon oa Main street, Detroit, and said to the bar-keeper: "Prepare me a glass of the cheerful invigorator." The bar-keeper looked Tiim all over, looked at his clothes, and answered : "First allow my eyes to rest upon tho complexiou ofyonr currency." "In my purse I have numerous ond various denominations of tho currency of our realm, with which I will cheer fully requite you, when I hava par takeu of your refreshments," said the long man, tapping his pocket. Tho bar-keeper said he didn't know, but finally poured out a glass of the liquor. The long slim roan grasped it eagerly, backed up to the stove, aud eyed- the contents of the glass with a critical air. "They toll me that in one of our Western cities, divers wicked men have been engaged in the fraudulent manufacture of this article. Is it so?" - The bar-keeper said he believed it was. Tho long man emptied the glass, and put.it on the counter. Then he said : "It is passing strange that in an age when knowledge is disseminated so freely, that truth and virtue are not paramount. Instead, ignorance and vice run riot, and tho papers teem with accounts of new rascalities un earthed each day." "There's fifteen cents to pay for that whiskey," interrupted the bar keeper. "Our country is just entering upon her existence for another century. It is fearful to reflect that at the end of a century she may be still further ad vanced in crime. Just look back and see " "Yes, I know; but just pay roe for that glass of whiskey, and then you can bounce," broke in the bar-keeper, angrily. . . -. : r .. . "Peace, my friend," said tha long man. "You ask of me tha. which is utterly beyond tbe bounds of possi bility." , "Do you mean to say that you haveu't any money ?" inquired the bar keeper, the short hair on the back of his head standing out horizontally, "Such, my esteemed friend,' is the conclusion which you may draw from my feeble - remarks, " said the long man. The bar keeper turned back his cuffs, spit ou his hands, and bounded airily over the bar. He grasped the long man firmly by tha scruff of the neck, and began waltzing toward the door, implanting kick after kick in that portion of the long man's frame which nature designed to be kicked. They reached the door safely, and as the bar-keeper, with a kick of ex traordinary dimensions, shot the long man through it, he aententiously ex claimed: "Take it out of that!"
