I looked on at her game, but did not

money on pleasure, tiro ugh !gg uri there's
neither pleasure uor comfort "anywhere
but home. However, the dear man con
sented, and he, and Frank, and Fred and
myself made up t!t party.
We had a whole month, exi-ljuiveof the
traveling; two weeks and two
at Niagara. This mat. kreta a short time

we left pa and Frank to their cigars on the

looked. Of courwe tliey admired him, for
he waa very hand-some, aatl cultivated and
I clever as could be.
I believe I was just a little bit jealous
of theiu, though I had no nxhl to be, for
jhe did not belong to me. He was only
m* father's ward, and had lived with uaj

'of his own. and hud not made up bin

gentleman or take up soma pro

Frank was my father's nephew, also ar;
i o'nban, and had lived with u< all his life ;
; Uis parents dici! while he was still an "m

, aud a brother to me. Fred did not seem

I rushed out into the air and walked
' rapidly up and down the garden once or

I was more calm, and said with forced

LANDMARKS DISAITF.ARINO. —The old
landmarks of New York city are gradually
disappearing. Among the few relics of
the city's early histcry, the old North
Dutch Church, at the corner of Fults©,
William and Ann street*, him long been
na object of inlriest and almost of vener
ation. More than a hundred years Ago it
was built; public scrrice* were first held
in it in May, d7CO- Duiing the Revolu
tionary war, while the city was in the
hands of the British, the North Church
uas nsrrl at a hospital, and also fc r storage.
The internir of tho building was much
damaged, thg pewa ami pulpit lu vjpglron
torn away. It is said that the pulpit
was carried over to England in a British
bip, and was finally placed in an English
country church. The two camions which
.stand within the church incloaure, on Wil
flam street, were fiied when the British
fleet attacked tho city. A curious bit of
history prt tains to one of them. During
the bombardment of New York a red-hot
ball was thrown into a neighboring street,
whero was a blacksiuith'a *bnp. The
smith— M> the story goes—seised the ball
with a tongs,and with a sledge hammer
welded it iißo t!u> inouth of the gonnon,
where it. stflj remains. The ?Vl*ult<*i
Street prdyer-meetings," which oiiginatcd
in this build ng, have awakened tbeiiiiter
est of the mm unity all otter tflie
country. And now the propectivetcarine
doSvii of tbia old church, even though the
■iDnev invested iA it and thedand upon
which it stands may be more usefully ap
propriated, will cause many regrets among
those who cherub memories of old times.
