So ho had sighed ami cast longing looks from his place in the choir (where he sang in a fluo tenor voice on Sundays) into the 'squire's pew j and moro than once he thought pretty Clam blushed brightly aud he knew well enough that she always smiled sweetly ; and her voice, when she spoke to him, had a caress- tig souud; aud altogether her manner toward him was not dUcouragiug. But Kra would not be discouraged. He felt that it was useless for him to ask the squire for his daughter's hand unless he had a good pot of money in his own hand with which to back His proposal, bo, instead of trying to compass tho desired end by in creased industry he neglected his litllo farm more than before, ami spent his whole time in wishing that lu could find a pot of money somehow, in the manner of tho old-fashioned stories at the foot of a tree, under the foundation of the house. I believe lie would even have sought for it at tho end of the rainbow, like the boy in the nursery rhyme, if be had been told there was a good chanco of finding it there. Suddenly a rumor spread abroad that a wonderful gipsy had appeared,who was tell ing people fortunes that came true in tho most remarkable manner,and all tho country side wm in a state of excitement on the subject. She was a somewhat exclusive character, this madam gipsy, and could only be consulted in a certain place.in tho shadow of a wych-elm, in the open air, nnd during certain hours theso hours being betweeu the last rays of tho declining sun, aud the first shadows of the coming night. Of course the rumor of the gipsy's inarvo- lous fortuuo telling reached Ezra Arden.and equally of course he was much exercised in mind concerning it. Ho found out ttie place where the fortune teller divined thoso fair fortunes ; and one evenhg, after watch ir.g tho sun slowly disappear behinJ llie western hill', he repaired thither, stealthily and a little afraid of meeting Clara b'cuddor somewhere in tho vicinity, for tho wych-elm was just on the further shlo of the 'squire's furni. However, ho met no one, except a hurried squirrel, fast specdiug to its home, and it was even more scared at being met than Ezra was; so ho hastened tho wych-elm and there, sure enough, was madam gipsy, sitting curled up n;ainst the, trunk, and lookiug precisely as if sho was waillug for Mm. She was a vciy old woman, bent ul mot double ; her lined and wrinkled face was tho color of butternut, and the tangles of her hair hung in elf-like, grizzled locks about her brow and over her cheeks j but her black eyes had a 'wonderful brilliancy, and such a keen look that they seemed to see right through him. She wai wrapped in a tattered old scarlet cloak, anil a hood of tho same was drawn well over her head, She gave a quick nod to Ezra, aud motioned him to tako a seat at her feet, which ho did, ivith his heart thumping as if he were be foro the Delphic oracle, And when tho apoko he had to bend his head and listen very attentively, for not only did tho mut tcr her words in a very toothless fashion, hut sho spoke in bo low a touo that he b.m some difficulty hearing her. Hut ho made out what sho (aid, , "I was expecting you uiy son 'nndJ know what you como for;" aud then he held out a hand even more butternut than her face a shaking and tremulous hand ; and Ezra made haste to cross tbe palm with silver, that being, as ho knew, the timo-honored custom. This happened before we had be gun the return to aiccIaUh &ad silv wa? scarce, but Ezra had in his pocket a half dollar piece, with a liolo In lt,nndn cross drawn on Its face, which he had kept many years for luck. So, ns there could bo no moro auspicious occasion than the pres ent for using it, ho timidly placed it in tho gipsy's hand, and again bent his car atten tively to listen to her unintelligible mum bling. "I know tho deslro of your heart, my pretty gentleman," said tho gipsy. "It is a certain mniden not a hundred miles away, only you havo tho faint heart that seldom wins a fair lady. Hut If you could find n pot of money, your spirit would bo holder. Listen to me, nnd obey me, and you shall have your wish." Ezra did listen, with all his ears, and as you may suppose, they were just then protly long and wido and capable of taking in a large amount. "You must dig up every foot of ground you possess," proceeded tho gipsy; "you mustn't grow weary in your search ; you must dig and dig continuously, and plant nnd harvest, nnd, matlc my words, before a very long time,you will find tho pot of mon ey, and the maiden will bo yours." Ezra listened with faith, and departed with joy in his heart. Ho fulfilled tho for tiino tellerVinjuiictions so well that all tho country sldo took to talking of him nfler tho gipsy had disappeared. Ho not only dug, but ho ploughed, sowed and harrowed ; ho seemed taken with a sudden mania for farm ing and work, which befgre had seemed dis tasteful and monotonous, and now that ho had an object in view, was full of excite ment and interest. At first he dug and dug, looking for his pot of money ; hut as it did not turn up, ho continued to dig, full of faith and growing every day moro interested in his own efforts. 1 "What on earth has got into Ezra Arden ?" asked tho neighbors, one and another. "Why has he taken to working like all pos sessed? He's hired a man, too, and the pair of 'cm are Kt it from the first dawn of daylight to nightfall." "Whatever has got into him he is going to havo the best crops of the year," answer ed one. "Lucky fellow. Just when there's going to be a rUe in flour, too, aud he has no end of wheat growing, and in splendid condition." "Why, Clara isn't that Ezra Arden's firm ?" asked tho 'squire, as his daughter oue day drovo past it, in her pretty pony carriage. "Yes, sir," returned Clara, with a faint pink stealing into her clear, pale cheek. "Has bomo 0110 else farmed it then ?" aked the 'squire. "Thero isn't another farm around hero lit to compare with it." The pink in Clara's cheek deepened to a lovely crimson, "Oh, no, pnpn," sho said softly, "it seems Ezra Mr. Arden, has developed a sudden talent for farming." "And a very first-rate talent,! should say," said tho old gentleman. "A man who can show fucli a f.ir.11 ns tint can hold his head a hij;!i n any "tie." ('hint'-1 iu gli i?d and s;.uVel.

As tho neighbors had foretold, Ezra Al- deu had particularly fiue crops that season, mil his hicccm at farniimr havimr also di- eloped his commercial ability, lie sold all that ho had to sell to excellent advantage. i ell,' said Ezra, ns ho counted his gains nnd tied them securely in his money bags, '1 haven't found my pot of money, hut this little pile is not to be despised, and I shall deep on. liy George! I wonder if this is what the old gipsy meant." Ezra had some time on his hands now for dreaming, and bo took to sighing for Clara once more, hut iu a much more hopeful spirit. "I will speak to her father," he thought, 'and if he gives me encouragement I will ask Clara plump if she will marry me." Now sonio young men would have thought it safer to win tho daughter's consent first ; but Ezra was too honorable for that. "If the squire won't havo me," he said to himself, "it's no use to ask Clara. She would never disobey her father. 1 shouldn't care half as much for her if she would," So he took tho money bag in his hand aud sought tho presenoe of 'Squire Scudder. The 'squire sat reading a volumoofthe Pickwick papers in his handsome old-fash ioned parlor; and being in a very genial mood, ho reccised Ezra with the most en couraging kindness, and listened to all that Le had lo say w.'t'i a b.uignanl smile. "It is not a great deal," concluded Ezra holding'.up his money b.ig,"but there's plen ty more vt hero I fouud this, sir." "And pray, where did you find il, Mr. Ar den?" asked the fouire ratoer taken aback. "At tho roots of my wheat and barley," answered Ezra, adding, with a laugh, "IV tell the truth-sir, I consulted a fortune tel ler, nnd sho told me to dig and dig, and I would certainly find a pot of money, I haven't found it yet, but I intend to keep liggiug, and I don't doubt hut I shall find t bv ami liv." Squiro Scudder burst into a hearty laugh, and kindly, patted Ezra on the shoulder "I don't doubt but you will my lad," he said cheerily. "Honest induitry is tho best pot of money any young man ever found As for Clara you can talk tho matter over with herself she's sitting there by the win dow, hidden behind the curtains." Now, that was dreadful mean of the 'squire, not to have given Ezra a hint of Clara's prcseinto before s but ho didn't mean it. It seems quite impossible for these gen tlemen to realize how Berloussuch matterc aro to boys and girls, Squiro Scudder roo with a nod and a smile, and went away, leaving Ezra in din confusion, staring at tho window curtain, and wishing the floor would open and swal low him. Hut it didn . Instead the win dow curtains opened and a lovely young lu- ily stepped out from them. "So, Mr. Arden,'' she said, coming forward, "you consulted tho gipsy fortune teller, too?" "0, Miss Scudder Clara you havo heard everything," stammered Ezra, sinking Inti tho chair from which he had risen in hb first consternation. "What a terrible fool you must think mo!" ' "But I don't I havo great confidence lb that gipsy s predictions." "Then you consulted her, too," asked Ezra. "Dozens of times she beguiled me of nil my small silver. "Well, she got but u single piece from me, that s some comfort," said Ezra, recov tiiuewhttt, and venturing to laugh V 9. 1877. "Was It anything llko this?" asked Miss Scudder, producing one from her pocket nnd holding It toward Ezra on tho palm of her hand llko cream. Ezra looked and started, and guvo a little cry. It was his own lurky silver piece. Un glanced Into the laughing blushing face; and then for tho first lime ho looked straight into Clara ScudJer's eyes. They were very, very dark, and wonderfully brilliant j but this lime they did not socm to look through him; they. sank before his glanco and veiled themselves under lovely, long black lashes. "Oh, Clara," murmured Ezra, "you were the gipsy?" "Of conrso I was." "And you knew I loved you all the time?" "Of courso I did, you foolish boy that's why I had to invent a way of telling you so." A Snorting Pun. Geo.

One wiggle Of his tail would sweep eleven old-fashioned flower-pots oh" the verandah, aud you might kick him as much as yu pleised and he was tho samo long dog. You couldn't telescopohim together an inch. Ho was the most cowardly dog that ever was. If a cow camo along and scratched ogainst a tree, he would crawl under the houso and howl all tho afternoon. Oncoa little girl came in tho gate after swill, and when he looked at her droppod uerswillpail and ran. He heard her cry and ran the other way, aud it was two days before we got bini home, and then wo had to carry him iu a basket. Ho was a re triever. His host "holt" was hens. He got acquainted with Mr. Manchester's chickens early id tho season, and he retrieved them regardless of expense. He would occasion ally come hack from Manchester's without a lien but it was not the dog's fault. If Manchester bad not thrown wood at him he never would have come back that way. That is where we have always blamed Manchester. Ilut when Manchester went to the Centennial thodo got even. Tho 1I0.5 and a skunk that lived under tho barn broke up the hen business there. Wo might meet him ou the sidewalk, and he never secnipd to know us. Ifwosp'jkoto him ho would wag a foot or eighteen inches of the lower end of his tail ; look away beyoud, and seemed to bo trying to think if ho hadn't met us in another world, nges ago.

Georgo Brown, has returned in safety from nu ex ploration of twenty months on the unknown coast of New llritain and N'ew Ireland. Ho crossed the latter island, which he found well populated. "Xo white man was oyer seen inland before, but no opposition was offered to the explorers. A difficulty was experienced in getting the natives to go any distance from their villages, as they are so often at war with one another, l'leuty of proofs of cannibalism wero found. One of the party, 03 going into one house to light his pipe, saw a woman roasting the thigh aud leg of a man who was killed tho day be fore." The exploring party were interested n the curious legend of the tribe of "tailed men" which is met with in many uncivili zed couutries, but they did not, unfortunatt ly, succeed in getting uny further than sec- nd-haud testimony. "The natives," it is tated, "of Hlancho Hay, New llritain, uf- firm positively tho existence of a rase of men with tails nt a place called Kali, nnd deny indignantly that they are monkeys, asking If monkeys could fight with spears, plaut yams, make houses, Ilut It is gnificiutly added that tho interesting race dwell in the interior of the country, "where uu wiute person has ever jicnetrated."

Hen drick chanced to be present and was partic ularly attracted by a richly embroidered coat which he saw brought forth nnd shaken out in all its glittering splendor of gold laco and gilded buttons and bright silk faelng. The old Indian's eyes sparkled, and he could hardly keop his hands from tho coveted prize. Ilut ho held back, aud hold his peace for the time. On the followlug morning, however, tho chieftain waited upon tho governor for n purpose, as was evident from tho intensity of ins look. "Sir William,'' said he, with wido open eye-, nnd n general expression of wonder, "me havo a great dream last ni-rtit. Me dream that you say tome 'good Hendrick, you have been my friend, and now I will re ward you.' And you gavo me tho new coat, with the bright gold on it, that came lu tho' box." The baronet rellccted n few moments and finally said: 'It is true, Hendrick, you have been my friend. Tho coat is yours." The chief went away fairly besido him self with delight. rV few days after that, saidSir William to his dusky ally : "Hendrick, I had a dreanrlast night." w "'Ah, and what did my white brother dream 1" "I dreamed that you took mo bv the hand, and said to me,, 'Sir William Johnson, you havo been my true, friend, and I will give you proof of my great lovo for you." And you gave to mo tho tract of land oil tho great river and Canda Creek," describing a square territory embracing nearly one thou sand acres of choice laud. The old chieftain was for a little time ut terly confounded. This was the fairest par of his domain, But he was not to be out dono in generosity, "My pale-faced brother," ho at length said, "tho land is vours." And after a pati-e he added, with a signi ficant nod : "Sir William, we won't dream any more. You dream too big for me." The title of tlio land was confirmed to Sir William by tho British government, and called the Itoval Grant. The land was north of tho Mohawk, and lay mostly in what is now Herkimer county.

"Brown, I don't see how it is that your girls all marry olt as soon as they get old enough, while none of mine can marry." "Oh I that s simple enough. I marry my girls off on tho buckwheat straw princi. pie." "Hut what is that principle. I nevei heard of it before." "Well, I used to raise a good deal of buck wheat.and it puzzled me to know how to get rid ol ttie straw. Nothine would eat t.and it was a great bother to me. At last I thought of a plan. I stacked my buakwheat straw nicely and built a high rail fence around it. My cattlo, of course, concluded that it was somethlng'good, and nt once tore down tho fence and began to cat tho straw. I dogged them nway and put up the fence a few times, but the moro I drovo them away the moro anxious they became to eat the straw. After this had been continued a few times tho cattlo determined to eat tho straw, and cat it they did, every bit of it.
