One afternoon in the month of June, 1870, a lady in deep mourning, and fol loWed by a dbild, entered one of the fash ionable saloons In the city of N—. The writer happened to be passing, at the time, sod, impelled by curiosity followed her in to sae. what would ensue. Stepping up to the bar and addressing the proprietor, whOlappened to be resew, she raid: "Sir, tea you "wad me, I have no Amos, and no friends; and am unable to worit." at Fahncstock'L• He glanced at her and then at the child Rwith a mingled look of curiosity and pity. Hvideatly he as somewhat surprised to see avioman in such a place as that beg ging, but without asking_ any questions gave her some change, then turning to those 'present, he said; “Oentltunen,herc is a lady in distress, =Mame of you assist her a little?" They all cheerfully acceded to this request, and ilimn a purse or two dollars was raised Mal'placed in her liana. "Madam," said the gentleman who gave her the money, "why do you come in saloons 7 It hml, a proper place for a 44; and why are Yon driven to such a step?" Turning her mournful, yet expregutive eyes upon the speaker with an exiniiithon I shall *liver forget, she replied: I know it isn't a proper place for me to be in, and you ask why I am (hires to thigi step. I will tell you in,short - cro , rds,' 'pointing - to a `bottle laelled '"whisky;" "that is what 4, driven me to thtiorirracr.

The school was a small ono, and the Scholars were mostly under twelve years of age. One, however, was thirteen, a pretty brown-eyed girl, just as smart and deter as she could be, and withal mis chievous as a mouse. Her name was,-- well, they called her Joe, Joe Milroy.— Eler parents were poor, but highly respect &hie, living on a little forty-acre farm. Joe wag-the most unruly girl I oversaw. Yoe couldn't keep her out of mischief. I hated to whip her. she Was getting so much like a worMin in size, and I didn't like to expel her from school, for she al ways Itnew , her . iewrons by heart. 0, she had tkie quiCkest mind I- ; aver saw. But, sir, she kept the whole school un ruly. A little boy would throw paper wads across the floor, and of course I'd. ' ".Ycielltroy throws 'm and ye dont bun her for it," the urchin would be sure to say. A little girl would laugh out loud, and when I asked her what she was laughing, for, she'd be sure to say: "Joe Milroy made such a funny pietar Oft her slater What was I to dot Mitt.* got worse and worse. Piniill - I wentto Mr. Mn roy, and kindly but frankly trad *him 64 about the way things - were' going on, and aaked him what coarse I had better pur sue. "Whip her, air," said he emphatically, "whip. her good. Make her mind you just tlie same as t'other children. That's what I say. I want my children control ledat school, I do!" Well, I went back to my school fully de termined on bringing Joe Milroy to the mark. , An opportunity was not kmg wanting. I kept a sharp look out, and presently I saw Joe woke pi,. great timer picture, and throw the bit- of piper •OD on which it •-411 Wit clear across the room to some litboys. The urchins began giggling and tittering forthwith. I took my whip firmly in my hand, fixed my eyes sternly on Joe, and walked up to her. She saw I meant something, and her pret ty face roguish grew pallid in a second.-* I did not say a word, bat raised my whip and gave her wont ten severe lashes. "Oh, air, oh!" sluLeried at *sty then cloaixig her lips till they pressed into each other, she looked me almost. fiercely in the eyes till my blows ceased. After that had no more trouble in my soloed. MI went on well to the end. Joe _knew all her lessons, bat was quiet -and reserved. The last day came, and I gue the Withal a "treat" of =sly and rais ins. When Joe's share was given to how she pulled it aside and would nottaste it.

In a certain city whither I had gone to deliver a course of lectures to w s young men's society, I got.,acquainted with a young woman, Josephine Milroy by name, whose father was a millionarie. With this young lady I fell desperately in love. 0, sir, she was superbly, regally beautiful. She was finely. educated, graceful, and the finest singer I have ever heard in private. Her conversational poeers were charming, and withal this she was tender and womanly. I pressed my suit, never dreaming of the little girl I had whipped in the coun try school-house. She gave me her heart and the wealth, woman's affection, it con tained, and T gave her my very soul. How happy I was, only a true lover, who feels the glinietui influence of a gifted wo man's power, on know. One evening my affianced bride and I took a stroll together in the park of that city. We sat down on thegrassy brink of a miniature lake, in the center of which a great sea monster in bronze threw up strong jets of flashing water, while all a roma' him lay green,. flower"' Wahl bask ing in, the 'rich glories of an early June day.

No sooner ',did I mention that school-house and some of its associations than I saw a pallor chase the flush of love from my cempanion's face. Her lips grow cold* and firm, her oyes flashed. "Are you that szlool-teather, that mis erable wretch whose memory I love to de. test?" she asked, almost; fiercely. I saw my dreadful dcoorn at once.

A RIME ArAMIIIAIME CEIMIIIONT Having been appointed Justice of the Peace, I waii accosted on thelith day of July, by a sleek looking young man and in silveryiones requested to, proceed to a neighboring hotel, as he wished to enter into tho holy bonds,of matrimony. Here' was a "squelcher." I had never done anything of the loud, had no books nor forms; yet. I was determined to do things up strong, and in a legal, manner; so I pm ceeded to the hotel, bearing in my arms one copy of Revised Statutes, one ditto Webeter'e Unabridged Dictionary, ono copy large-sized Bible, a small copy of the Creed and Articles of Faith of the Con gregational Churoh, one copy of Pope's Essay on Man, and a sectional plat of the map where, the v i ctim lived. Having placed a table in the middle of the room, and seated myself behind it, I, in trum pet tones, called the case. With that the young man and woman, with great alacrity, stepped up before me. Having sworn them on the.: dictionary to amiss* well and truly ali questions I was, about to ask, I p,*ceeded. Ltold the yormg man that being an entire stranger, I should ask him to give bail for the costs. Hav ing beard this so frequently iu court, I thought it indispensable. He answered, if I mgant the fee for performing the cere mony, he would deposit it then and there. As'l did not know exactly what I did mean, I magnanimously waived that por tion of the ceremony. I then told him it would be necessary to give bail to keep the peace. This be said he was willing to do when he arrived home, and I then waived that point also. e Having established to my satisfaction that they wanted to get married, and that they were old enough to .enter into that blessed state,,llui*eieded.to tie the knot. I asked him if be was willing to take iiiiterS;ulian to be hiS wife. Ile said he was. I told iiim..that I. did not require haste in the answer; that ho might reflect a few momenta if he wished. I told him she looked like a dna girl, and I had no doubt she was; but if the sequel proved that he had been taken in, I did not want to be held responsible. I said be must lore, boner, and obey her as long as she lived; he must not be "snappy" around the house, nor spit tobacco juice on the floor; all of which he promised faithfully to heed. "Now 4 " said I, "GeoNgiana, (her name was slitorgianao you hear what Hum phrey. says. ,I)o you accept the invitation tobeat .his wife; will . you be lenient to- Wanie faults, .and cherish his virtues; will you never be guilty of throwing fur niture at his head for plight offences, and will You get three meats a day without grumbling?" She said she would. I ask ed them if they believed in the command ments; they said they did. Having read the articles of faith,*as aforeaitki, I exclaim ed; "Humphrey, take her,- she is yours; I cannot withhold my commit.", "Geor gians, when safe in the arum of your Hum phrey, you can defy the scoffs and jeers of "the world." I then read a little from the "Essay on Man," including tliat peewee, "Man wants but. little hero below,.but wants that little long." Asa final to the scene, I delivered the following exordium: "Go iu peace, sin no more." The generous Humptun! basing placed a fifty cent check in my unwilling palm, I bade the happy pair a final adieu. Jost BiLtmos thus defines "horns."
