A TOT OF MONEY.
Ezra Arden was in love with Clara ScuJ-
Icr.anil sometimes in momeuts of great ex
ultation for lie was a modest youth,as every
true lover should be lie had dared to think
that the did not frowu upon his tias-ioii.
But Clara w.n tho 'niuire'n il.ituliter and an
hciri'M, ; while lrawas lint u muill farmer,
and so far from successful in that puMiit,
hat it seemed ah-urd in will as iuipn-ilde,
that he should npiro to the hand of the
lovely Mi.-s Seudder, who had been courted
11 vain by line city gentlemen. 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."

tnuclicd her p.inie- 1 g'ltly, ntol herliapiy
thoughts rtnliwl nil into llie future u1 a pa' e
to nvM even their l.tit tnmins.
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

"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."

retriever pup. Time passed on nnd tho
pup began to grow. Ho did not grow tall,
but spread out lengthwise nnd sidewise, and
his feet got big. Thero never was so Innir
a dog of his age 113 that one was. And talk
about tail ; a kangaroo's tail would bo no

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

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

A Itace of Men with Tails lleporled.
A Wesleyan missionary, Rev. 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

On a certain occasion Sir William was
unpacking 11 largo box of clothing which
had just been received from England. 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.

ltrowu's Method.
"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. As I
said, I marry my girls oil' on the samo prin
ciple, w uen a young man that I don't liko
begins calling on my girls, I encourage him
in every way I can. 1 tell him to come of
ten aud stay as late; as he pleases, and I
tako pains to hint to tho girls that I think
they'd better Bet their caps for hfm. It works
first rate. He don't make many calls, for the
girls treat him as coolly as they can. Hut
when a young man that I like comes round,
a man mat 1 tuiut would suit me for a son-
in-law, I don't let him wako many calls be
fore I give him to understand that he Isn't
wanted around my house. I tell the girls,
too, that they shall not havo any thins to do
with him, and give them orders never to
speak to him again. The plan always works
nrsi rate, lno young folks begin to plly
cacu oiuer, aud tho next thing I know they
1 engaged to bo married. When I see
they aro determined to marry I always give
111 and pretend to mako tho test of it. That's
tho way I manage it." Duluquc Tle.

"I see," said the crlbo to a leading mem
ber of the Legislature on Saturday1, jtfterex
changingthe compliments of tho season, ''I
see you havo two good Methodist divines (o
furnish the supply of orthodoxy for you this
ses'lon. Isn't, that a little singular."
"Yes, It Is a llttlo odd, but It was brought
about In a peculiar way."
"How was that?"
"Well, I don't care If I do tell you. Gen'
cralty, you know, the Legislature divides the
honors
"And tho emoluments, too," tho scribe
could not but interject.
"Yes, and tho cmolutnenfs, so as to 'give

In this llouss wo had Itev. Mr. Clarko,n
Methodist fas our chaplain, Clarke is a
splendid fellow so kind to the boys f goes
out after any of tfceni who happen to liqui
date too overmuch at anytime, Is genial and
courteous to all and makes the most unique,
freshest nnd original kind of prayers. Ev
erybody liked him. Well, this year, when
it was privately announced that Rev. Vt.
Holmes, another Methodist, was to b ap
pointed chaplain of the Senate, Mr. Clarke
naturally concluded his lease had expired.
He came to me and mentioned the matter,
and I told him perhaps It ciuld be fixed. I
then asked tho Speaker of tho House, Mr.
Myers, to reappoint him, but the speaker
hesitated. He thought it wouldn't do to
havo a Methodist nt each end of the string
but I urged It so strong that he gradually re
lented. Then to back him up I got four of
the candidates for Speaker to come up and
join in my plea."
"So, so," said the scribe musingly, "four
souls with but a single thought, four hearts
that beat as one."
"Exactly. Just so," responded tho Legis
lator," but blast your poetry. But the cream
of the aflair is to come. As wo mado the
rcqunst 1 remarked, 'You sec, Mr. Speaker,
four representatives of the bluest of the
blue lircabyteriaii stock uniting iu this re
quest.' "
"And that's the way Bro. Clarke mana

$300 Chaplaincy, with all tbe rights, titles
and privileges thereunto nuuexed, without
tho equilibrium of tho denominations hav

The Victory of a llanlwaro Clerk.
A sprightly looking man with sandy whis
kers and bulf colored satchel.entered a hard
ware store recently, where he encountered
tho head clerk whoso humor frequently takes
a practical turn.
"Good morning, sir," said the sprightly
looking man as he began to open bis satchel.
"Bad day out."
"D.m't want any cutlery." responded ihe
clerk.
"Hut t n-sttte vim sir "
"(i.in't want any chisels, nor hammers,

By this time the sprightly looking man
had unbuckled the straps of bis valise,
dipped down into it nnd brought to light a
small, curiously shaped machine, which he
held up to view with a proud smile. '
"This, bir," said he, "isa model of Simp-
sou's celebrated cooking stove and wash pot
combined. You will see that tho movement
is rendered reciprocal by this' simple "
"My friend," interrupted tho clerk, '-d
you know that you aro liable to be counted

'"But just do me the kindness to examine

"3eo here, stranger," responded the clerk,
"did you everknow a crippled man to be

"No, sir, I believe not."
"Well, if you've got any ambition that
way you'd better leave this store, because in
a general scuflle between you and 'me you
might get your legbroken oversotue of tbise
ovens and things."
The sprightly man took the hint, repacked
his model, and left in a hurry, while the
head clerk went to the drawer, selected the
cleanest-looking $10 bill and put it in his
pocket as a token of victory.
