I was born in Dudleyville, where also my father and my father's father were born before me. The first eon of our family, for many generations, had been christened Nicholas, and I was honored with the same uphonious cognomen. On the male side, my father and I were the only - ones left to represent the ancient race. We werehofh as well knoWn in Dudleyville as the spite of the 4illige church and, from being so well known, were bailed, the whole country round, by the familiar epithet of "Nick Dud ley," and to save confounding the two. my father Sae from:tardy tfalfed "Did Nick." I believe in my soul this was the cause of his sending me so early abroad. Be that as it may, I was equipped, and reg ularly installed; tVhen I was scarce six teen, into - Uncle Sara's service, where. young as I was, I contrived to distin guish myself for my military daring and courage, which, I am now convinced, was nothing but youthful foolishness, It was during the Texan war I eeriest:l'j and at the age of twenty-one, I returned once more to the paternal roof with the title of Major prefixed to my natee. It was with no ordinary degree of self-satisfaction that, with my showy re gimentals. with my face browned by a tropical sun, a fierce military moustache, and m• tall proportions, I paced the deck of the steamer which was soon to land me within a. short stage ride of my na tive town': My sister Rate, whom I lunged to see, had, I fancied, grown a tall and . 611 girl, and as she had thrown out some vague hints in her letter to me, concern ing some important changes in her life, which only awaited my presence to Re< complish,•l !Itched my brain to imagine the sort of a chap the intended husband might be. lly return I had carefully planned in such a way as to surprise the old gentle man and Kate. By no possibility were they expecting me for a full week. 1 bad learned from Kate that the old home stead was undergoing repairs, and that meanwhile the old gentleman had rented a house in the heart of the flourishing town. DE= I knew the old place, and all its sur roundings so well, however, in spite of alterations, that I could not be at fault.. I was in the very street at last, and in front of the house which held my good father and sister. As I was about to ascend the steps, and enter the house legitimately by the front door, I saw that the dining-room windows, which opened on the green be fore the house, were wide open, and the bright lights within the room shone on the out-spread table just as the family had left it after the evening meal. They must have had company,thought I, for the table had, evidently, beon laid for a number of persons, and the mas sive spoons and shining silver tea-serv ice lay temptingly open to the hands of any passing thief. A brilliant thought flashed on my mind. A double surprise, thought I, and no sooner than acted. Springing, at one bound, through one of the open windows, I gathered, as hastily as possible, spoons, and what ever of the massive, plate I could, 'de termiLing to make my way up stairs,and into the drawing-room, before any of my family saw me, and present my sister with my own presence, and her silver,at the same time. Just as I was about to open the door of the dining-room, my eye glanced up on the name engraved upon the . silver —"Livermore." I started like a criminal. While it flashed through me like a shock of light ning, that my father, though a man of means, had never manifested any great 'love of silver, and had never owned any plate except the old-fashioned spoons and tea-service which bad been handed down from generation to generation, it also oc curred to me, for a dead certainty, that I had waked up the wrong passenger; in short, that I was in a fix, and decidedly in the wrong house. As the truth glanced rapidly through my mind, I was engaged in replacing the silver previous to making my exit in the same way I bad catered. But, alas for human calculation ! be fore I had divested my pockets of half their contents, the doer opened and shut with a bang, giving me a glimpse of a servant maid, half terrified out of her wits. jalS'69.ly Scream followed serenno, then a clat ter like a tramp of horses. I made for th• window, but one of the shutters had already been closed with a bang, and in the same way the rest were clesed as if by Ent = In The Wrong House. A. friendly side-door stood invitingly open. I made my way through it, and up a private staircase. The next moment I found myself in.a snug library; adjoin ing the brilliantly lighted room. I heard steps - approaching, and, dart ing behind the shelter of the ample dra pery which curtained the window, I had only time to conceal myself, when voices in the apartment made me aware that I bad been none too quiok in my opera. Lions. After a little I was left alone, and now I had time and food for reflection. Sup pose I were caught—the silver actually in my possession; the proof was convinc ing—damning; even my father's name, well and favorably known, could not shield me. I was well known, too, as a wild, recihnis blade, and to many, the probability that I bad added Must- - breaking to my other lawless accomplish ments, might be easily supposable. Determined to put the beet possibld face on the matter, in case I was caught, I remained almost breath - kW it my hid ing place. Presently, by the Mini of voices, I could hear that the drawing-room began to fill.. I grew nervous—restless. I long ed to rush out in the midst of all, and acknowledge who I was, and the reason of my being there under suspicious cir cumstances. But. the reasons were so ridiculous that, in spite of all my more manly feelings, I was constrained to re main like a guilty wretch in my hiding place. At intertfals; groups of visitors enter ed the library, and then withdrew. At each intrusion, I felt that my hour bad come, But somehow my good genius proved to be in the ascent. No one came to the window. The rooms Vegan to' t7iiti I could plainly distinguish that fact with some degree of hope in my breast. Again I heard voices and steps enter the library. " Before P gd; dear Edith," said a musi cal voice, lifirdh I recognitied, with a thrill of joy and pain, as my sister's, "let me tell you that, in a week, I ex pect my dear brother. I shall then have the pleasure of introducing you"— "Ah l that long-talked-of brother; tate, I ani'haff in loiiviith him already from yoUr gloWing description." "You will be entirely in levewithhim when oou see and know him. Bee, here is his last letter; shall I read it ?" Edith, the little witch, consented, and then I had the pleasure of bearing the last scrawl read by my partial' sist:er.-- Ob, how mawkish it. sounded to me; hosi pointless the wit; how silly the attempt at poetry. But Edith praised it when Kate had ended, and this in a moment reconciled me to the boyish attempt. At last the rooms were still, the lights extinguished, and darkness prevailed. I was preparing to emerge from my hiding place, when th'd opening of a door arrested me. Light steps approach ed, the curtain wasdrawn, aid themoon light revealed the form of a' Nantiful girl, and at thi same time I miati ictitial ed to her astonished view. With adeir rable presence of mind she suppressed a scream. " Who are you—what are you doing here ?" she milted hurriedly. "Are you the person who—are you a robber? Did you break into—" " Did I break into your house, you would ask. Yes, but do not start. lam no robber, I assure you. Alas I need your assistance." I saw that my manner assured her, and I went on. "I am the only brother of your friend Kate Dudley, and as such, ask your com passion, for I must be right in suppos ing you are Miss. Edith Lieermore,with whom Kate has repeatedly made me ac quainted in her letters." " I am, indeed, Edith Lisermore,"she replied, with - unfeigned astonishment; "and I—" You would hear how I got here with these in my pocket," and I pulled out spoon after spoon, and laid them before her. Edith looked more and more perplex ed, and considerably terrified. But I soon re-assured her by relating the whole of my adventure. She blushed a little when I related the convereation between her and my sister, but somehow we talked and talked there alone until the gray dawn reminded us that I must go. Edith, herself, let me out of the door, but not till I felt somewhat assured that what she said to, my sister had literally come true—that she was really more than half in love with me. It has been several years einoe then, but not long enough to make either my self, or my little wife, Edith, regret my adventure in the wrong house. Occasionally, when the train arrives at a certain station on the Erie Railway, a nice young man „jumps off and kisses the beet looking girl at the depot, sup posing it to be his sister. He apologizes so nice that the girls are getting so they look for him regularly. • Some big broth er will jam his nose yet.

AN ANICDOTZ OP POP3.—One day as Pope was engaged in translating the Iliad, he came to a passage which neith er he nor his assistant could interpret. A stranger who stood by, in his humble garb, very modestly suggested that, as he had some little acquaintance with Greek, perhaps he could assist them.— " Try it, try !" said Pope, with the air of a boy who is encouraging a monkey to eat red pepr, er, "There is an error in the print," said the stranger, looking at the text. " Read as if there was no in terrogation at the end of the line,and you have the meaning at once." Pope's as sistant improved upon this hint,and ren dered the passage without difficulty. Pope was chagrined: he could never en dure to be surpassed inanything. Turn ing to the stranger he said in a sarcastic tone, "Will you please tell me what an interrogation is?" "Why sir," said the stranger scanning the ill-shaped peat, "it is a little orooked,oontemptible thing that asks questions !"

THE IMMUNITIES or THE Poop.—Poor people never live in brown-stone fronts, or elegant villa residances, with all the modern improverhents.
