The speaker was Mr. Benjamin Brad
bury, the eminent buiiding.efintrsotor,
and the above observation wow made by
Mr. Bradbury when comfortably seated
behind his waiting desk, in his pri•at
sanctum late on the even.ug of the 24th
of December, in the year— not
quite sure about . the year, but you'll be
Wad enough to remember. that it. was the
evening of the 24th of December—for
Mr -Benjamin Tlraiftniry had the singu
lar habit of upending the late hours o f
that evening in just such employment as 1
we happen to find him in at present
Mr. Bradbury had been looking over
his private acconnts and calculating
how many thousands the last twelve
months had added to his fortune. The
result was fully satisfactory, but he was
evidently not entirely at his ease. The
fact is, Mr. Bradbury had that morning
received a proposal for the hand of his
only daughter, the child of his fret wife
—and,to make _the matter worse, a rascal
without a penny , (Not. that Frank Wil
son was a rascal, or penniless in real
ity ; on the contrary, be was an hotiora•
blo young fellow, with a small but in
creasing income ; but Mr. Bradbury had
large ideas, and that was his way ,of
putting it )
He could hardly believe his own ears
when the young man made his auda
cious proposal. Young Wilson, a Allow
'with a' paltry four hundred a yea • had
sat in that very room and prOposed him
self as a hitaband for Mr. Bradbury''
only child, who would, after his -death.
come into a fortune of more than • hund
red thousand pounds! and has more
over assured him that the young lady
herself was just as anxious for the union
—indeed, that they had long loved each
'tither Very dearly. Mr Bradbury be
ing a millionaire, with a constant eye to
the main chance, disapproved of love
mat obeli on principle, and, of oourse, r
said, "Certainly not!" In the stern
possible manner, and dismissed the uri
happy traitor in much discouragema •
Nevertheless, nein)Kild not get the auda
cious proposition otiq of his bead. So
now, having closed is ledger, and not
feeling disposed to go to bed, Nr. Brad
bury determined that he would put his
desk to rights. This was a work be
had airier' been intending to do "to
morrow evening" for the last twenty
years, but sienehow he bad never done
so, and it was in a slate of rare otin(tu
aim Letters and memoranda, old and
Ise!, interspersed with Oda and ends,
were huddled together without order or
arrangement.—By Way of making a
beginning Bradbury pulled out of one
corner a lutUdle of old letters, endow
tied a faded groan ribbon with which
trejwere bound, and as he did se, wit&
the one /Altai still upperinest In his
mind ke wade the exnalanuttion oboes
fuseUesteti. It was not addressed to any
one, seeing that there wasuobody Owe;
Ind therefore Mr. Brudbury naturally
jurprieed 'when a silvery 'Woe re.
plied ;
14 Married,Me Bradbury 7--eertaialy,
and why not?" '
VOL. 13
At the .same Moment then was a
flutter among the old letters in Brad
bury's hand ; and,from an envelope Dom!,
what larger than the rest, emerges
lady of nicatolassiing aPpitoteauce• 13
was decidedly diminutiva, being pf on y
about six inches stature, but of adceir•-
ble symmetry. She wore a gavnient of
gossamer texture, the skirts of whiob,
distended in the most approved ballet
fashion, were looped up with ruby
hearts, connected with true lovers'
knots In white satin ribbon, and her
wreath was of similar materiel. This
angelic being tripped lightly.from the
open envelope to Mr. Bradbury's table;
and there, after a coquettish dance,
seated herself on the closed lid of • big
l4itand e and arranged the folds of her
dr pery with feminine exactness.
"Why shouldn't' they be married. my
dear sir V
Bradbury's first feeling, after ha had
once recovered from theshook of his visi
tor's unexpected appearance, was In
dread last Mrs. B. (who was a person
of riged propriety and a fine flow of
langdsge) akould come in unawares,
and find him in the tfilmpary.ol such a
lady with extraordinsryshort petticoats.
But oo reflection, remembering that his
wife lad been in bed for at least an
hour and a half, and was probably sound
asleep, he took courage..
"Why not, m'am ?" said fir Brad
bury, passing his fingers through his
stubby hair—"why nat.!' Because—
Gesase—its ridicuious!"
"But telly is it ridiculous, Mr. Brad
bury-41ACR the point."'
"01 course it's ridiculous Kate's
too _young, for one thing. Why, its
only the other day since the child °tine
home from school, and ebe won't be
twenty-one for four months yet:" .
"Youth is a fault that mends itself,
She'll emit get over that, • What's the

"The bell retools Is that young Wit

"You have no personal objecti on to

"On the contrary, I believe he is a

"Err elnceyou were a boy ; yes and

"You've known me ever since I woe •

Here Mr. Bradbury stopped short,not
feeling sure whether sixteen or nix
would be nearest the mark, ."

Bradbury looked at the image of his
former self ; and as he gazed, along for
gotten memories thronged into his mind
—memories of generous irnpulses eager
ly sated upon ; on deeds of boyish dis
interestedness done by the curly-headed
lad before bim—deeds that the man was
for too prudent to do. And,with a queer
choking sensation in hie throat, Brad
bury answerd ;
"No; on the whole, I think—l sup

"Happier ! To be sure you were,"
said the Sprite. '•No man can violate

compense himself for the injur es. he re

stole twenty-five gallons of fine peach
