"Its, ha," laughed Helen Irvin ! but it was a

Appro.Ching with a lom bow, upon which his
mirror had set the seal of faultless elegance, Fred
erick Lana took the liberty of asking if the young
lady would bo kind enough to inform him where a
Mr. Irving lived.
With an innocent smile the beauty looked
up.-
"Mr. Irving! the only M. Irving in the village is
my father," she said, rising in a charmiogly grace

"on high /found, half bidden by tree* vui thick

"Tell your father," said he, 4 /that ; shall do my

remember me—Frederick Lane at your service."
"Yes sir, I'll tell him word for word," replied
Helens tucking her sleeve round her pretty arm, aad
making rather a formal courtety. Then catshing
up her book sad gathering the scattered flowers,
she hurried towards boom
"Now father, mother, aunt and sis," exclaimed

and gentle disposition, quite won upon the city bred

ness and refi emeot about everything she said and
did. IShe perplexed as well as delighted him.
Often, as ho was wondering how some homely
expression would be received in good goyim!, some
beautiful sentiment would suddenly drop Jame pearl

than brilliancy.

It was useless to combat Kith his passion; so at

and stowfessed his love.
"1 claire not, Helen, only be mine;'' was his inva
riable answer to her exclamations of unworthiness;
how 'she would appear in fashionable sneaky, etc.
They were married—had returned from their wed
ding tour, and at the expiration of the honey-moon
Fred wis more in love thin ewer. At a grand en
tertainment given by the relatives of the bridegroom
Helen looked most beautiful. Her husband did not
insist that she should tiepin from her usual sim
plicity, and indeed without jewels or laces, with
only that fresh white robe, simple sash of blue, Ind
ornaments of fair mass roses, she was the most
luiely creature in the room.
Am she entered the great ninon, biasing with
light, her beast failed her. "Shall 1 lore him as
dearly," she asked herself, "if I find that he Is asham

ItAir she watched hint as he presented her to one

high on the shore of his pride; He seemed to ex

came to ber eyes when she thus felt how noble a
heart she had won.
The young bride stood near her husband, talking
in a line' tone, when a new corner appeared. She
was a beautiful, slightly formed creature, with

She had tented from the piano, and the waltnews

"Only a country girl," said Helen, gravely, then
falling into her husband's arms, she exclaimed,—

how she banished piano, books, harp, peirtfulin, ma

Story of a Humorist.
Wall I have seen your friend, and find him to be
exactly what you described him as being—a humor
ist. He seems to have imparted much of that' char
scter to everything around him. Ilia servants are
all admirably disciplined to second his whims, and
his eery furniture is, for tha most pint, adapted to
the same purpose. This put me upon my guard;
and there was hardly anything in the room that I
did not touch with apprehension. No trick, how
ever, was practised npun me; and, as I found imbse
gnently, I was indebted fur such indulgence to one
which was reserved for me at n'ght, and which was
Inch as perhaps all my Eng{ phlegm would not
have enabled me to bear with patience. I escaped,
however, being put to the proof, by the merest 11C
cident—the arrival of a poor Scotch surveyor, who
was thought a fitter subject for the often repeated
'experiment.
The So;tchinan was treated with extreme hnspi•
tali:y; he was helped to everything to excess; his
glass was never allowed to stand full or empty for
one minute. The potations were suspended not
until, and only while, the cloth was 'raying far sup
per, during and after which they were resumed with
renovated energy. Our entertainer was like the
landlord described by Addison ;,t he liquor seemed to
have no other erect upon him than open any other
tease! in the house. It was not so with this Scotch
guest, who was, by this time, mueis farthervanv
ced upon the cruise of intoxication than half seat
czn
h this state he was conducted to his chamber—
a fine Infty Githie apartment, with a bedstead that
reamed coeval with the building. I say seemed;
for that was by no means the else, it being in real
ity amo bra piece of • structurz. It was of dark
mahogany, with its fuur posts extending cdayletely
to the ceiling of the chamber. Toe bed, however,
was not in ire than sham tWu feet from the flier,
the bet'er to enable the party to get into it. The
Seutchman, with a goo I deal of assistance, was
soon undressed, and had his buiy deposited its this
place of rep se. All thy-party then retired, wish
ing him a good night, apd .removing the candle fur
fear of accidents.
When the

slowly and smoothly through the four posts, until
it-carne within two or threo feat sd the ceiling.—
The snoring of at, Scotchman was the signal for
touching the spring, and ha was soon it thi proper
alt;tude.

The servants regoi:ed no instructions how to ay.
In one moment the house was its an uproart . Grits of
"fire! fire!" were heard in different directions. A
pile of shavings was set in a Was: opposite the

heavens! save the poor Scotch gentleman, if possi
ble; the aimed have got into the room jest under
him!"
At this moment, we heard him fall, and bellow
out. 4 sudden silence took place: every light was
extinguished, and the whole house 'seemed to be
buried in the m•trt profound repose. The Scotch
man's voice couhl alone be heard, roaring nut in
the high dialect of his country, for assistance.
At length, two of the men servants, in their
shirts, entered the NOM with a candle 2 rat lit, and
yawning, as if Jost aroused from their first sleep.—
They found him sprawling on the four.
"0, dear, air, what is the matter with your

One of the Mean Men.
Many instances have been cited of meantiees,ind

far away from Maanclidetts. Lie had, of curse,
a youngest appreutice, ua whom his meanness was
concentrateJ, !Ike the rays of the sun converged by
a burning glass.
The boy, whom we will till Joe l and who was
very shrewd and conning withal', was obliged to
submit to mock rigor as regarded the severity of his
labors and the scantiness of his clothing and food.
One evening, Joe was supping on the . fragments of
a repast that had been set before 'wine gue+ts—the
good wife bad "had company" that afternoon.—and
he committed the enormity of applying a lump-of
butter that was left on his plate to a chunk or gin.
gerbread which ho was al)out to aNallow. Alas,
fur Joe! his master opened the kitchen door just as
he was opening his mouth, and before he could swat..
low.the delicious morsel his crime was detected.
The indignant mister was struck aghast, at first,
by this specimen of juvenile turpitude, but he seiz
ed the young epicure by the hair of his heal aq4
gave him an unmerciful beating.
Joe went to bed sorrowing, but comforted hin i
with the reflection that he was fourteen years old,
and ho had "but seven tears more to be flogged for
eating buttered gingerbread." .
Joewaa ingenious, and before he had enmposed
himseif to sleep that night, he had formed a plan of
revenge upon his master.
According to this plan, he MAO early the neat
morning, and as ho was hurrying on his clUthes, ho,
muttered—.
fix a story oh the old feller—l'll raise' a laugh
agin learn him to lick me so lake blazes."
At soon as JO3 was dressed, he rushed into the
streets, and tea toward the principal hotel, bawling
lustily, and simulating the most clamorous grief.—`
As he tore along the street, bellowing like a year
ling bull, and robbing his eyes with a dingy pocket
handkerohisf, he naturally attesezed the attention.of
i‘cry person Within sight or hearing. By the time
he had reached tho front of the hotel, quite a crowd
,was ready to intercept tam, as he made a feint to
rush by:
t•What's the matterr cried& dozen voidee.
41 ), dear! 0, ilearl We so dreadful!" bellowed Joe
twisting hie countenance into the similitude of ts

• "0, my masters deed—died sicken awful death,
dear, dear !•'
"Your master dead! 'writ] death! How did it
happen! Stop your confounded bellowing and tell
us abaut it."
"0, dew.," said Joe, is:s velar broken with noun
terfe:t sok., "you know what a small soil my mu
ter hail—what an old feller *Skim was fur money
(sob.) Val it 'pears thst somebody . (sob) had

And wish this, Jue made a break through the as
tonished crowd, sad disappeared round a corner,
vt We the welkin was ringing with shouts or laugh-
.I.lo's master did not hear the last of this awful
decease for along time, and those who know him
best declare that Joe's story wets no myth, and-that
he longer his body.walks about, clutching greedily
every thing that "the law allows him," the strong
er eri.lenee he gives that he is troubledhy no aucb
inenmbrance as a soul.
