Weary and faint from hard study he had come down to Newport to restand reou- Eerate; but lie could not stay long, for e had not the.means. In happier days, when he had been prospective heir to half a million, be had often met Clara Edgerton, and ha i learn ed to love her, though no words of love had ever been spoken. In fact, that they had been almost too young then to seri ouHiy venture upon such a topic. But they were older now. Wallace was tour and twenty, and Clara.'only five years younger. And now they had met again —he tinder theoloud of misfortune, while she held'ln her own right a fortune greater than that which his father had lost. * ‘ Is it a wonder (hat a. hundred men, joung and old, paid especial court to ( lara Edgerton? And 1h It a wonder that a man like Wallace Parker, should have been backward in claiming her es pecial notice? > Ellen Lamprey had ro heart (o love, but she funded alluce Fsrker : sbeliad penetration enough to see that he was a better man than were most of those to whom the. ladies of .fashion paid court, and, furtliHrmore, she saw the possibili ties be would surmount, and could look forward to the bright career that he was opening before, him. She was a crafty girl*, and calculating. She could not hope to entrap a wealthy lover who was young and handsome ; so she meant to entrap Wallace Parker if she could.— She knew that there had been an inti macy between him and Clara In.the other times, and she could plainly see that their hearts yearned toward each other still, however much the young lawyer hlmaeif may have been In the dark, Btie*bad a game to, play. Sbe knew very well that Wallace had come out Into the garden in the hope of meet ing Clara. She had not only prevented the meeting, but she hud made it appear to the gentleman' that the lady had pur posely avoided him. *1 declare 1 —there goes Wallace Parker —and he didn’t even give us the honor of a salute! cried Ellen, alter the young man had passed. Clara started, and looked up, and pres ently said. — He bus no heart for anything but his profession.’ ‘And he will need to stick to his pro fession a long time before he can resume bis old stand in society,’ suggested Edeu. ‘Yea—yes.’ It was all Clara auswered and she was again thoughtful. That evening Ellen Lamprey met Wallace Paiker upon the veiamia, and he offered her his arm. He could do no less seeing that she had sought his side, Ellen adroitly . led the conversation until it touched upon Clara Edgerton. ‘By the way, Mr. Parker, 1 hud always thought that you and Miss Edgerton were good friends.’ . *1 trust we are friends still,’ returned the gentleman, in a low, hopeful tone. ‘I had Thought bo,’ resumed the plotur, ‘until she avoided you to day, in the garden, and I should *i>ot have thought ho much of that if she had nut, when we were alone, spoken—But I had better keep my own counsel-’ Wallace Parker was human, and be wlcbed to know what Clara Edgerton had said of him. At lenutb with much apparent reluctance, Ellen told him,— ‘Blie said you had no heart. ‘What I Hid : Clara Edgerton say that?’ . BENTZ & GO. ‘Yes. Anii shesald you would have to Htiok to your profeaajou a luDKti.me.bo fore you could regal a the poallion you Imd lust in society. 'Oh! Iliad not thought that of her! but what elHe could 1 expect? Bab! they are a cold uud heartless oet I* ‘You do not mean that Miss Edgorton is cold and heartless?’ yiio is under the influence. She must ho'or bhe would nut have spoken those words.’ ' . . ‘Well, well,’ said Ellen with a light laugh, ‘she la very soou to be under a new influence, she goes from here to be inarriHr lo Mr. Hapgood.’ ‘To Giles Hapgood ?' ‘Yea—the b »uKer.’ ‘Bui he is old em u 'h to be her father.’ ’And worth a million I’ added Ellen l'oefirai. OVER Tin: RIVER significantly. And a new triumph was In the sparkle of tier eye when she saw Wallace Farker'.s lips curl with derision, and saw ecorn and contempt In his every feature. During the forenoon Of the fol lowing day Ellen Lamprey observed Cla ra Edgerloi. and Giles Hapgood, out in one of the footpaths, walking very co ily, arm-in-arm aud apparently engaged in very earnest conversation. She bunted for Wallace Parker, and brought him out into the balcony that he might see it.— He did see It and his look plainly show ed that he was unhappy; and Ellen Lamprey fancied that h» looked to her for sympathy—that his heart was warm ing toward her as it shrank away from the love of Clara. She determined to loose no time. During.the afternoon of that same.day Ellen drew Clara out Into the garden, and after a llght'run of by-plav,she oare follv introduced the subject of Wallace Parker. ‘He w ill not remain here much longer,’ she said ; and for one lam glad of It. I can endure almost anything better than treachery.’ • •Tn aotiery !—and on the part of Wal lace Parker 1 r 1 •‘Tes:’ •Whotdoyon mean, Ellen ?’ ‘Since it has come to tills, Clara, I wilt speak; I accepted Mr. Parker’s prof fered arm on the veranda last evening. We spoke of you. I had supposed that yoi were on the most friendly terms; but judge of my surprise, when he an iii unced m me, in direct and unqualified terms, that you were cold and heartless I’i •Did Wallace. Parker say that?’ The; voice was startled and quivering. ‘Yes—aud I expostulated. But he persisted. He said you were throwing; yourself away under the very worst of; influence. •O, Ellen, I .cannot believe that Mr. Parker spoke soberly.’ A brilliant idea, struck the plotter.— She would make a bold move. ‘My dear C ara,’ she said, ‘ln orderthat you may know exactly bow be can speak, of you, suppose you near him for your self? If you will take your seat In this arbor this evening, X will lead Wallace Parker this way, and he shall speak of you as be pleases.’ At first Clara Edgerton refused to list en to the proposition ; but after a time she surrendered. She did really wish to know If Wallace Parker disliaed hei.— The blow would be a cruel one; but she had better know the truth, even at the worst. Soshe finally said that she would, be, in the arbor at nine o’clook'. . Ellen Luniprey had no doubt of her success. She had so far won upon Park er, that be was ready at any time to wait upon her at her bidding, and she felt sure, if she could lead him to the garden, that she could draw fn ra him bitter words agaiost Clara. But one of her most poten t weapons was to he wrenched from her without her knowledge. That, evening, os Wallace Parker had sauntered, out upon the drive-way after tea be met Giles Hapgood, and the bank er was muttering olid cursing to him self. ‘Eh I Hapgood! What on earth is the matter? Blocks down 1' ‘Down flat?’ returned Hapgood, rally ing. •Have you lost heavily?’ .‘I have lost heavily, and for all time.’ ‘lamsorrv.’ , Presently .the banker looked up with a grim smile, •It isn’t money, Parker. O, no,—not quite so ban as that. I fancied this af ternoon, that I had lost my heart; hut I ;uess I shall And It again. You can seep a secret?’ ‘The secret of a friend is with me a sacred trust.’ ‘Then, my boy. I’ll tell you frankly,— Clara Edgerton has refused my bund 1’ ■ •Refused jon?’ ‘Aye, and that isn’t the worst of it. — When I asked her why she had allowed me to bask in the sunlight of her smiles; she fell to weeping, and begged me to fnraive her. Hhe said she sought it at the'huuds of a father! Egad! think of it! What a cut. eh?’ ‘But she was honest.’ ‘Bo she was, my boy. She had clung to, me, taking, shelter under my gray hairs—that she might escape the per s-cutibn of attention from the hundred and one fulsome flatterers that hovered around her." This afternoon I could have cursed her; but now I can only curse my own stupidity, while Ip have oome’really to honor and respect the pure hearted glrT who was willing to place so much confidence in Giles Hap good.l The approach of another party inter rupted the conversation, and Wallace shortly after returned to the house, where Eden Lambert met him upon the piazza. ' Ho would have avoided her, but site took his arm, and claimed him as her prisoner; and by and by she led him to the aarden. .Little dreamed she. oa she prepared for the attack? what he beard within the hour. When they had entered upon the flower flanked avenue, Ellen spoke of Clara Edgerton. She spoke at first sync pathizingly and lovingly—then piling —and then she gradually . verged upon the condemnatory. The arbor was now not far distant, and she must make a final stroke. This she d d by speaking of Clara’s approaching marriage with Mr. Hapgood, at the same time adroitly working in a repetition of the storv she had before told of the lady’s harsh treatment of himself Tim arbor was readied, and Ellen stopped for her companion’s reply. Him felt sure it. would be a blttei one. Wallace took ber. .hand and looked down into her face- He hull beard the words hut they had not so much place in bis mind as hud other words which he hud that evening beard, from the lips of Giles Hapgood. ‘Miss Lamprey;’ be said, slowly, and almost sternly 'you and I hud belter come to an understanding at once.' I am willing to believe that you ore mis taken. At all events, I will never be lieve that Miss Edgerton could willingly or intentionally speak ill of me until X can hear and judge for myself. When you first told me whatsit© bud— * ‘OfMr. Parkerl In mercy’s name!’ But Mr. Parker did not heed the in* hrruption. What Clara had said of me,,l was grieved; bull am sure you must have misunderstood her. Ellen Lamprey trembled like an aspen, and could nut speak.. Her' companion continued •Never, while I can help it, shall the bright vision of Clara Edgertou, as a pure and blessed spirit of light, be wrest ed from me. As God is my Judge, I bfe lleveberto be incapable of deceit. Hut if B be bud faults, I do not wish to know them. 1 took her Image into my squl years agrvaud 1 wish to bold it there, en shrined in purity.

The Common Way.—A Western cor respondent gives the following incident of one of his missionary tours on the Western borders ol Minnesota. Meeting a youngster of twelve, we asked him; ■Do you go to Sunday school 7’ •No.* •Is there one to attend 7’ •No.’ ‘Have you a Bible 7’ ‘Ho.’ ‘Are yon trying to be a Christian V . Hu did not know what that meant; so we eal , ‘do you pray 7’ No; X was not brought up In that way.’ •What way were you brought up?’ 'O, Just the common way.’ NAPOI.EON AN A HATER. Napoleon bated much and bitterly. He bated Pichegrue. he hated Moreau, he fated TouHsaint L’Ouvertnre—Oho poor, biave black man—be hated hN brother Louis, lie hated Madame do Stnel. lie hated Pitt, he hated the Queen of Prus sia, he bated Sir George Cockhurn, he haled Lord Batbhurst, be hated Sir Hud son Lowe—not a verv.loveable man un der any circumstances, it may be admit* ted ; but still it was a little too bad of Napoleon to loathe the unhappy Gover nor as ho did aa soon as he set eyes upon him, and after ids first Interview with him, to send away untasted a cup of cof* fee, declaring the Govern* r's very looks had poisoned it. But I have no wish to re-open that old St. Helena sore. Let by-gones be by*gone». The camp-bed at Longwood was not Ipreclsely a bed of roses; and at fifty-one, ruined, banished, in jail, separated from your .wife and child, blistering on a rook, or shivering in a leaky bungalow, with your coat out at elbows, mutton at two and-eleven pent)' a pound, and no saiid oil obtainable—with the knowledge of having slaughtered a good many inno cent men, and left many thousands of widows and orphans—with all Ibis, and an ulcer eating away your it is rather hard not to he ul'owed to bate your neighbors with feverish fierceness. But the earlier hatreds of Napoleon were far less excusable, and they were the worst of all hatreds—the little ones. He was pettily Jealous of Moreau and Bernadette. He was afraid of the shrewd ness, and .envious of. the wit of Madame de flfael, ami hated bef accordingly. His dislike of the patriot of St. Domingo was as ludicrous as it was wicked, and, with infernal ingenuity, he caused the bot blonded negro, accustomed to swelter in the tropical sun, to be cooped up In a cold, damp casemate, there to have chilis and rheumatism tin he died* He bated his brother Louis pettily, miserably, be cause Louis was quiet, unambitious, and ; conscientious, ancl, caring nothing for his crown, was still determined to do his duty to his subjects after he had been on a throne. He hated Sir Sidney Smith, too, with a mean, personal hatred, be cause he drove him (rom before St. Jean d’Acre. He hated Duels, because he would not pen fawning linesin his praise; and Admiral Brueya—whom he would In-ve struck with a horsewhip, at Bou logne, had not the Admiral laid his hand on his sword—because Brueys, as a sailor, knew his duty better than be. I suppose there is not, among English-; men, a greater fanatic lin hero worship, i and a more enthusiastic worshipper of 1 Napoleon the Great, than I am. It there can be demigods—if Hercules was one, so, too, was Bonaparte., But I can not be blind to the fact, immeasurably great os was ray hero, he pondescended to hate In a very mean and paltry manner* Bu are there not spots on the sun ? A. FRANK CONFESSION. A farmer living in Oxford county, In the State of Maine, went down to a town not a thousand' miles fiom Portland, for the purpnseof purchasing .a yoke of oxen, an he had been informed that there was a lot of very fire stock for-sale bv one of the wealrhy land owners of the place. Arriving in the bent farming district of-, the Cumberland countv town, our friend met a man driving an ox-team, of whom he inquired: ‘Can you inform me .where Mr. Wall lives?’ 1 There's a number of Walls live around here. Which one did you,wish to find?’ returned the stranger, who was a large, stoutly built, keen-eyed man, habited.ln homespun, but bearing in his general appearance unmistakable, tokens of ease and comfort so far as finances were con cerned. * I don’t know what ms Christian name is.’ pursued our friend'? ‘but he Is the owner of some very fine oxen.’ ‘Well,’ responded the stranger, ‘they all own pretty fair oxen.’ * But the one I wish to find has oxen for sale.’ * As for that. sir. I guess they’d any of ’em sell If they could get their price.* ‘But.’ exclaimed the Oxford county man, ‘the Mr. Wall I wish to find is quite, wealthy. 1 ' - ‘Yes, well I reckon there ain’t any of ’em very bad otT,’ repllie l theptbe*, with a nod. 4 My Mr. Wall,’ continued our friend, hesitatingly, ‘has been represented to me as being a very close-fisted man, and not scrupulously honest in all bis trans actions.’ . With a curious twinkle of the eye, and a gentle pat upon the.haunch of his near ox, he said, 4 To tell you the truth, sir, I guess they’re a close-fisted Retail around and JC never heard that h.one-ty run In, the family. Tsn tthere something else?’ .* Yea,’ replied the searcher for oxen, desperately, ‘they say he„hdsb«en caught in the act of robbing his own brother’s chicken coop.’ . The stranger bowed and smiled. 4 lguexa I'm the man! Come with me and I’ll show you as fine a Jot of cattle as you can find In the State; and If you know what oxen are, there’s no danger of getting cheated.’ . Living by the Day.—l compare says John Newton, the troubles which we have to undergo in the course of the year to a great bundle of faggots, far too large for us to lift> , But God does uot require us to carry the whole at once. He mer cifully unties the bundle, and gives us first one stick, which we are to carry to day, and then another which we are to curry to-morrow, and so on. This we might easily manage, if we would only take the burden appointed for us each day ; but we choose to increase our trou bles by carrying yesterday’s sack over again to-day, and adding to-morrow’s burden to our load before we are required to bear it. William Jay puls the same truth In another way. We may consider the year before us a desk containing three hundred and sixty live letters addressed us—one lor. every day, announcing its trials, and prescribing Us employments, with an order to open dally no letter hut the letter for the day. Now we may he strongly tempted to unseal before-bund some of the remainder. This; however, would only servo to etnliarrass us, while we.should violate the rule which our Owner and Master has laid down for us. ‘ Take, therefore, no thought for the.mor row, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of Itself’ A Japanese Execution.— The officers of the United Bta-tes steamer Delaware were permitted' lo witness a Japanese crucifixion at Yokohama, which is thus described: When the prisoner who is to be oruoi fled hud been placed on bis bank, on a stout wooden cross prepared for the ooca slon, ho was securely lashed thereto, but not nailed. Then the sentence was read, and two stout men, with long spears, came forward. The one on the right side of the doomed man struck the point of his spear In very deliberately abont two Inuhes and just under the ribs.

It Is a handsome iittle sheet of water, with a fine shore free from swamps or brush, and affording a pleasant resort to the lovers of piscatorial sports.. There is a rftmautlc yet truthful history connected with It, which sounds more like an Indian tradition of centu ries ago than an actual occurrence of fifty yeais since. While on an excursion, u few days ago, I gathered the following story, and its truthfulness h»s since been vouched for by other early settlers: ; A tribe of Indians was thep encamped on the shore of this lake near its outlet, a small blit beautiful stream of tne same name,, and bad Just been paid by the government quite a large amount of gold and silver, which they took to their camp, as was tb*dr oust* m, undivided, held Incharge by their chief “Wubasaa.” On arriving at their camp and spreading their gaily colored blankets out admir- ingly, together with their trinkets; pur chased at the station, some of the tribe, warmed more or less by fire water, de manded their portion of the gold. Dis putes arose as lo'the relative share of each ■ Some claimed more than an equal share, claiming to have contributed more to the protection or general good, glory or dig nity. of the tribe. High words iwere about to be followed by bloodsliedy when their chief demanded silence, anirpio posed to them 10 wait till the morrow should cool their excited bra! ns, and they could listen to reason aud words of coun sel from older men. A truce was finally effected, and quiet once n orq,reighed throughout the camp, when the chief, regarding the gold as a : cause of evil instead of a blessing, stole quietly out, carrying the pot of gold witli him, and entering a canoe, padded quick ly and noiselessly to the centre of the , lake, where he consigned the pot of gold to the deep waters of the lake. In the morning he did not deny what he had done, but was iq the.midst of a speech, telling them of their folly in be ing, like the pale faces, slaves to gold, When, with a loud whoop, the entire hand set upon him, murdering him, and mutilating his body in a horrible man ner. Uia grave is still shown, and many have seen .his sou return to the grave, within the lust twenty years, to modrn overit. Greedy hands haveoften search ed for tile lost gold, but to no purpose, for tlie waters are many hundreds of feet in depth, strange as it may seem for so. small a lake-a mere pond. But the story is often thld of the “Pot of Gold In Wa baaaa's Lake." —Detroit Free i'reas. Elegance Does Not Make a Home. —I neversaw a garment too fine for man or maid; there never was a chair too good for a cobbler, or cooper, or king to sit on ; never a home too fine to shelter the human head. These elements about us, the gorgeous sky, the Imperial sun, are not. too good for the human race. Elegance fits man. But do we not value these tools of housekeeping a iitlle more than they are worth, and sometimes mortgage a home for the mahogany we would bring intuit? I hud rather eat my dinner off the .head of a barrel, or dress after the fashion of John the Bap tist in the. wilderness, or sit on a block all my life, than consume all myself be fore I got to a home, and so much pains witli the outside that the inside was as hollow us an empty nut- Beauty Is a great thing, but beauty of garments, house and furniture is a very tawdry ornament compaared with domestic love. Ail the elegante-in the world . will not will not make a home, and 1 would give more for a spoonful or real love than for whole ship-ioada of lurniture and all the gorgeousness that all the upholsterers In the world could gather together.—' Theodore Parker. A Good Mother.— Sometimes one bears It said of a good wife and mother that “ she’s a regular home body." The phrase is simple, but what a world of en nobling qualities it indicates, and what a universe of frivolitieslt excludes. Tlfe matronly home-body Is indeed “Heaven’s bestgift to man.” Dasfainv ladies, whose mission it Is to set the, fashions, won't you look in upon your gentle sister as she ‘sits in her well-ordered nursery making the children happy with her presence? Note bow she adjusts their little difficulties, and admonishes, en courages, Instructs, or amuses them, as the cose may require. Do you think any nursemaid could produce such harmony in that little ciicie? Issbe.notau en chantress? Verily, yes, and her charms are “ love stronger than death," for those sweet young faces, where you may see her smiles and frowns (though she seldom has occasion to frown,) reflect in glee and sorrow, like sunlight and cloud shadow in a quiet pool. What she is, she wilt teach her daughter to be; add blessed are the eons that have such a mother.■ A Double Man.— All the stories told of the Siamese twins hardly equal this of the.

An urchin of six or seven years went into a barber-shop, in Haeine, Wisconsin, and ordered the barber to cut his hair as close as shears would do it.
