AM EVENTFUL VOYAGE, Forty years ago the bark Mary Bur ton,bavingsbipped in her cargoin New York, set sail with a favorable breeze for Liverpool. The dangers of the channel being past, the pilot left; and tho captain, who had hitherto only paced the deck to see that pilot’s orders were promptly obeyed, resumed tho command. Captain Powell was a bachelor, in his best years, a slender, butsinewy frame, with brown curly hair and blue eyes; a Scotchman by birth and a smart sail or. Ho had sailed about all his life on the different seas of the globe, till at last he had settled down on the packet line between New York and Liverpool. Crowded as tho packet ships were on the voyage to, America, they brought back but f .w to the'old country, and on this occasion the Mary Burton carried only six passengers. Among these were Mrs. and Miss EHis—a mother and daughter. They were not unknown to captain Powell. He had made their acquain tance in' New York, being intimate with part of their family. He and Miss Ellis had frequently mot at her uncle’s house, where he became passionately attached to her, and proposed marriage. She, who had never encouraged him— in fact, bad not known the nature of his liking for her—at once rejected him, candidly toiling him that she was al ready engaged to another gentleman. So captain Powell retired within him self, and said no more. Mrs. Ellis, perhaps naturally, chose to go to England by tho Mary Burton, as she knew and liked captain Powell, rather than take ship with a stranger. Ho v well' pleased that it should be so ; and when they came on board re ceived them warmly, insisted uponglv iog up iiis own slate-ro'-m exclusively to them. The young lady would have declined, but Sirs. Ellis, wlie Inv I comfort, accepted at once. Pherp w..= no other cabin ini tho ship so commodi ous as that. The first two days the ladies never appeared ..t ail, not oven at meals—as is usual with those unaccustomed to (he sea. .The weather was very rough. On tho third day tho sea was calmer, and though there was still a stiff breeze, they succeeded in getting on deck. JWelldone, Mrs. Ellis,’ said the cap tain, hastening tn meet them. ‘You are right to come up and get some fresh, air. It is splendid weather, and if this breeze holds, I hope too see you, safe and,sound, ashore in Liverpool in four teen days. And are you comfortably set tied in your cabin, Miss Kate ?’ ‘Much more so than wo could expect,’ replied fhe'young girl. ‘I only regret that our comfort should he at the ex pense of yours.’ ‘Do not mention it,’ said Captain Powell, ami a slight color spread over his usually pale face. ‘Heaven knows how thankful I should he to think you feel yourself at home on my vessel.’ ‘You are very kind, dear captain,’ said the mother; ‘very.’ For her daugh ter, instead of answering,. turned ab ruptly away, and became absorbed in watching the gulls.’ . After (his, though the weather was still pleasant, she did not make her ap pearance for two days. Miss Ellis had a headache, it was said, and needed rest. The third day the young lady came up again ; and the deck happened to be clear of all save tho master and tho steersman.. Captain Powell wont to her, and hold out his hand, reproach pre , vadiug every tone of hia voice. ‘Howcould you hide yourself from us so long, Kate '1 You have no idea how long tho time lias seemed to me,’ ‘I have not felt well,’said Miss Ellis. ‘I am only come now for a little fresh air.’ . ‘Are you going lo make the voyage in your state-room ?’ asked the captain iu a low tone. I was thinking how many happy hours wo should spend to gether on .deck hero.’ ‘There is still a long voyage before us,’ replied she, evidently ill at ease. ‘But how soou will tho days pass ! and who can toll how long we shall have this pleasant weather? Storm and min will frighten you down, while I shall have to do .my duty up here. Don’t bo cruel, Miss Ellis. You do not know ’He broke oil’ suddenly; and Kate looked at him in terror, with so strangely violent and hoarse voice were the last words spoken. His appearance, also, was altered ; his face was deathly pule; hia eyes had turned red, as if they were bloodshort. As though hehimaeif was twtir&of this, he turned from her abruptly and walked to tho other side ol tho deck. The young girl felt no longer safe with this strange man; his behavior rt,rut 1 her with a chill, hardly to bo accounted for. Trembling from bead to foot, sbo wont below to her mother. ‘What is tho matter, child?.’ cried Mm. tillin’, in frigid, ‘iioivpaio you aro! Can’t you hear tho rolling of a ship yet?’ ‘Oh, mother !’ sighed Kate, ‘it is not (hat. I wish you had granted my request and waited for another vessel. I was so afraid of this.’ ‘Foolish child ! another would have rolled just ns much as this.’ ‘it is not that, I say,mother.. You' knew that in Now York—you know what passed. That Captain Powell pro posed to mo.’ ‘And very good taste of him,'too,’ returned Mrs. Ellis, complacently look ing at her pretty daughter. ’What of that? Yon told him that you wore en gaged, and there the matter ended.’ ‘Yes, that ought to have ended it. I thought it did. But his behavior seems so strange to-day Hint 1 am afraid -of him. Never leave me alone again on cluck, mother, mind that. Tho voyage will bo over some time,’ ‘What nonsense 1’ exclaimed Mrs 0 CARLISLE, PA„ THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1871. Ellis. ‘Captain Powell is a gentleman ; and if ho is pleased with your pretty face, that is nothing uncommon. He has shown good feeling towards us.’ ‘And placed us under obligation to him.’ . ‘Stuff!’ returned Mrs. Ellis. ‘lt makes him happy to know we are com fortable, and that is all the thanks ho wants. Besides, wo are not the only , passengers.’ , Kate Fills answered nothing, but as she looked dreamily, out of the port hole the imago of the pale, excited 'man, witlrhis glowing eyes, was still before her, and she could not banish it. „„ From this time sho. kept .close Jo her mollier." "" ■»" Changes came in the Weather. A day or twd of calm was succeeded by a gale. Fiercer and fiercer .came Ihe storm, until the bark was compelled Jo lie to. During this period the two iadjes re mained in their room cabin, and the captain kept his post on deck, defended from tho rain by his macintosh and sou’-wester. The first mate busied him self watching the steady fall, of the barometer, "and. the sailors, now alto gether free from work, collected to smoke on the spars under lee of the long boat. They were talking in an undertone about the captain. His conduct had excited their attention, and was puz zling them. ‘.Well, I can’t think what it is ho has got in the wind,’ observed the sail maker. ‘Hois quite a different man since the last voyage.’ ‘Ho has no rest,’ said another.—‘Day and night he is on.deek, always pacing up and down, as if he were paid by the mils, and eats no more than a bird only keeps to his grog.’ ‘Well, we may take some comfortdu that,’ cried another. ‘That’s always a good sign.’ ‘I think,’ said the saiimaker, ‘he is vexed tbathe gave up his room to (he women. Ho feels now like n lubberly passenger.’ ‘T’aiht that; I’ve known, him to do it afore,’ cried the boatswain, who bad been a good while in the ship. ‘The skipper were always polite towards the ladies.’ ‘Weil, anyway, holms got summat queer on biro, ’ returned the saiimaker. And this was the conclusion arrived at by all the men. ■ The calm gave place again to storm, necessitating constant attention to the ship. After a few day’s severe gale the weather cleared, and the captain went below for rest; When he appeared again he was very stern and silent, speaking to none. The wind went round to the southwest, sons to bo dead ahead, and the vessel had to take a northerly course. But even the passengers could not help noticing that the captain was more changed from day to day. His face had assumed an unnatural whiteness, bis eyes shone with a peculiar fire, and yet a rough word never crossed his lips.— Kate Ellis herself had lost her fear of him, and felt grieved' that she had doue him injustice. She now often came on deck alone, either to read or to watch the changeful play of the waves- He seldom spoke to her, and then only on Indifferent subjects; but even on these occasions he usually broke off suddenly and went be low, as though he was doing violence to | himself in speaking at all. . It. should have been mentioned that at this time the chief mate was sick. A violent fever seized him Immediately after the close of the three days’ gale,and he bad boon confined to his berth since. The captain and second mate shared the v>*ot-»cq between them. ' he-Mary Burton, detained by the hard uea'Uier, had already been twenty-one dfiya at sea; the passengers were begin ning to get impatient, and wonted ranch to know of their whereabouts. But to inquiries on this point the second mate, a young, inexperienced seaman, could not give them an answer, and the cap tain apparently would, not. There was only one expedient: Captain Powell had always shone himself so amiable toward the young,lady—the only young lady on board—that it was thought if she were to ask him directly, he would not refuse .her the information. Miss Ellis was strongly urged to 1 make the attempt, and consented—abe, herself being anxious to know how soon they would reach their destination. When she came next morn ing on deck, and fou,nd the captain as usual pacing the starboard side of the quarter-deck, she went up to him with a smile* . ’ •Row is it, Captain Powell?’ she asked, ‘shall we soon see laud? Or is there yet no hopo of it?’ ‘Are you already tired of us?’ returned the captain, a melancholy expression on his-drawn in lips. ‘Are you in need of anything?’ ‘Certainly- not,’ replied Kate. ‘You have oared for ua so well, that we can scarcely miss our usual laud comforts so much ns you do yours. But yet — ‘But, notwithstanding, you want to leave the poor ship as soon as possible?’ ‘You won’t blame a passenger for that,’ said Kate, smiling. ‘Salt water is not our clement; I am afraid even of those |!-nr> waves when T think how soon they may glow into fearful giants/ Hutrthe question remained unsatisfied, for the captain did not answer it. Miss Ellis ventured to ask again. ‘ Whereabouts are we now, captain? I hope it is no secret. Please tell us—for we land folks understand nothing our selves. One wave looks justlike another, ami to me the stars seem to stand in just (he same places os they did in Kdw York/ , • i'ou know I would do all in my power to please you, but X cannot alter the wind, and it is dead said the cap tain. ‘You must resign yourself to put up with our ship’s fare a little longer. I cannot help.it, Miss Kate.^, ‘But in what direction are we sailing now?’ ‘Up to the north.’ ‘Then we shall come into the Polar Sea, When I was a child X always had a longing to visit those regions where in summer the sun never sets. It must ?oem very wonderful. Have you been there, Captain Powell?’ ‘Yes,’ answered Powell, casting his eyes dreamily around. ‘Wonderful In deed, that endless day, where there are no nights—no dreadful nights. I wish I was j/pw«a7/i me,’ he added, In a scarcely audible whisper. Kate Ellis was startled. The last words had not escaped her quick ears. ‘Kate,’ said he, suddenly seizing the girl’s hand, answer mo one question.— You wished just now to know where we are; let me first hear from you where I am, and whether there is the smallest hope left-for me that a fair breeze will again fill my sails and blow me happily into nort.’ •I do not understand you, Capt. Pow • V,,’ oi.id Kate, trying to take her hand /•.way. But he would not let he; he con tinued to hold her while ho spoke, bis voice hoarse with agitation. ‘Do not evade me longer—not now «t least—and be assured from this moment I will not disturb you with a single woed. Tell me only this one thing—is it really true that you are now hastening to the arms of a bridegroom! Your mother saj'e it is. Is it true that he is waiting impa tiently for you in England ?—that this ship is bearing you to him?’ Fora moment: Kate Ellis’ face was an white as hia. Ami then she rallied her courage to avow the aimple truth, deem ing that it might put an end to the trou ble for once and all.’ ‘lt is quite true, Captain Powell. I am Boon to be married to Mr. Otteraon; I think you know him, You were told of this In New York.’ ‘But I could not believe it,' he answer ed with strange emotion. ‘I—I could not think I stood at die gates of Heaven only to see them closed against me.’ ‘Captain Powell!' = Ho flung away her hand, and looked at her. She looked back at him. Trembling though she was with dismay, she did not shrink from what sho had said. *lt is well, Miss Kills,* he said, calmly drawing hia pea-coat closer about him, as though he felt cold. ‘I thank you, at least, that you have been straightforward with mo.. I shall keep my promise. I w/II not trouble you with any further questions.’ r ‘And you will now answer me?’she yet gained courage to say. ‘When shall wo reach our destination?’ ». ' ‘Soon, Miss Ellis—soon. You will see Xsball not delay. I can’t control .the vMnda, you know.,; but—l am In a hurrv myself—leave it to me.* he raised hia oil-skin hat and went below.’‘”T,hefe ' was something very strange about him; Kate could.bub see it. In half an hour, during which time he had brooded over his chart, he was on deck again and gave orders to set the topgallant sails. This was soon done. But the Mary Burton could not keep the same course with her upper sails sotT She now stood exactly north northeast. Some of the passengers noticed the change, and supposed that it indicated that the captain having been driven too much to the south, was about to take the channel round the north instead of the south'Of Ireland. This hypothesis caused great joy among the passengers, and sev eral bottles of wine were brought from private stores to celebrate the occasion.— But the commander was gloomier than before, and would take no part in the convivality. The second mate shook hia head over this new course; it was not at all clear to him. But ho was an ignorant fellow, as ! already said, and careless as well. The ' cbiefitnale remained very ill.' ..jr&s the days went on, the wind became ''more and more favorable. They might sailed due east, bu> the yards were squared, and the,bark still held her northerly course. One of the passengers, an American land agent, had some ex perience in navigation, having once taken charge of a coasting schooner from Boston to New Orleans. After a while lie became exceedingly dissatisfied with this continued progress towards the north, which brought them no nearer their destination One night he noticed the pole star higher in the heavens than he hud ever, seen it before. They must have already gone far north. The matter began to look suspicious. He did not understand the captain ; but it was time that something should be done. ' The next day, when it was the captain's watch on deck, he went stealhily to the spate's berth. The chief officer had now recovered consciousness* and the fever was gone; but he was very weak. ‘A word in confidence, Mr. Mate,' be gan the American. ‘Do you know in what latitude we are ?’ ‘No; I've lost my reckoning,' was the feeble answer. ‘How’s her head ?’ ‘North-northeast, yards almost squared and studded sails to leeward/ ‘Then we must be sailing along the Irish coast, and through the North Channel.’ ‘But this is the eleventh day we’ve kept this course.’ . ‘The eleventh day!’ cried the astonished sailor, excitement enabling him to leap out of his berth. ‘There is something wrong with the captain ; I'm sure of if.' whispered the passenger anxiously. ‘Take no notice.— Be on deck at noon and see that you get an observation.’ v The mate was very weak, but he crept out to the second mate to get hia log book ; and learned that the captain bad kept it since the Illness of the first officer. This was pot quite regular. He went to the captain's room, but the door was locked and the key gone. At noon the sun was perfectly clear; and the mate, taking his sextant, got on deck and posted himself on the fore castle. The captain did not notice him, but took his own observations from the quarter-deck, and then giving the order to strike eight bells, went below. The mate went below also ; and while he was making out his reckoning the cook came to him. ‘I urn glad to see you on your legs again, sir,’said he in a low tone. *1 don’t know where we are going, but this Is certain—wo shall soon see some grizzly boars. -And wq shall need them for provisions, for ours is nearly gone.’ - ‘What are the crew saying about It?’ j questioned the officer. • | ‘They say I must make tight the old bread casks, they will be wanted for blub- J ber since captain Powell is certainly go ing a whaling,’ was the cook’s answer; and he quietly stole away again. The mate finished his reckoning, .and then consulted his chart. A short while, and the captain was pacing the deck again. The mat© came on. He looked at the compass, at the studding sails, and then approached the captain, speaking in a whisper. 'For Heaven’s sake, Captain Powell, where are we sailing to?’ tr ‘Don’t give yourself any trouble,' waa the cool reply; ’the bark* is in good i hands. We went too far to the south.’ ‘But today at noon wo were In sixty four' degrees north latitude, and this evening wo must pass the line of the North Cape in Iceland. Where is it you are going, sir?’ ‘Mr. Metsara,’ said the captain, coldly. T have the management of this vessel. — I beg you will not trouble yourself with things that do not concern you.’ ‘But, Captain Powell, I must trouble myself; our supplies are running short. .Remember, we carry passengers, air, and must keep our time in .Liverpool.’ ‘Let me advise you to go back to your bertb,' was tbe command. T take the responsibility of the navigation. Do you understand ?’ ‘What Is our longtitude, Captain Powell?’ ‘Leave the reckoning to me till you are perfectly well, Mr. Metsam- You are not yourself yet.’ The mate noticed the altered appear ance of his superior, and he saw that he was not himself.' What to do, ho did not know; he was bitterly perplexed.— Too much prostrated by sickness to act energetically—to think bo, ho Jet things be, believing there was no immediate cause for action. It is a serious thing to Interfere with a commander of a vessel. The wind went round to the south, but the bark held the same course, now with studding sails on both sides. The crew were getting dissatisfied. They had no objection to a long voyage—it increased their pay—but they had no desire for a trip to the Arctic regions without suitable clothing, or apparatus for taking seals.— Once more the mate entreated the cap tain to put the ship about; but the latter threatened to order him in irons. The passengers became seriously alarmed. A suspicion came upon them for the first time that Captain Powell was Insane. A deputation went to the first officer and delivered over to him the charge of the vessel. Mr. Metsam went on deck and assured himself that the time for action bad come. He ordered the crew aft and in quired if they were willing to obey him. 'Sir, said the carpenter, speaking for .the rest.'lt is high time you took the command. There are icebergs ahead.’ ‘Well then, my men, in with the stud* difig sails.’ The crew went to work with a will; very rapidly the t-hip was put about so that she headed B. S. E. by E, But the tacking caused loud stir and noise, and Captain I’owell rushed on deck. .‘Who ordered the ship about?’ ho asked in a hb)u’se voice. Mr. Metsam answered at once In a calm tone, hoping to soothe him. He felt convinced of his madness. ‘I did, air—without troubling you.— There were Icebergs and we had nothing to do in sixty-nine degrees of north lati tude.’ This brought the climax. ‘Behelllon! Mutiny I’ hissed the poor in lid man; and drawing a pistol from his pocket llred it off. The mate felt a sharp pain In his side, and Captain Powell was over powered. Fortunately the wound was not a serious one, and Mr. Motsam was able to take full charge of tho ship. Their posi tion was near the coast of Greenland.— Captain Powell had steered direct ior the Polar Seas. The next day a strong'north west wind set in which drove icebergs to the south. But the good ship ran before the wind ; and nine days later they sighted tho Faroe Islands. From this point they had a long voyage, and were detained by a storm on the Scotch coast. Finally, after a run of sixty-two days in all, provisions and water all gone, they, reached Liverpool In safety, where the ship had been given up for lost. Mias 'Fills foanil her -lover. Bhortly to bo her, husband; waiting for her; and all on board ,wore thankful to come, off no ■ . Captain Powell never recovered his sanity. His passionate love for the young lady, combined with his rejection, acting oh a not well balanced mind, had indeed driven him mad. He died in an asylum not long afterwards. - And when the good ship sailed out of. port, Mr. Metsam was in command. ANCIENT COINS. Money consists of whatever is used In exchange for something else. As soon as mankind increased in numbers, they, commenced to exchange one article for another in trade. This waa done, first, by using some substances of great value and small in bulk. At a.very early pe riod raetalic exchanges were made by weight, the giver 9f the money wefghfng out so many pieces of gold or silver; At a later period actual coins, having a cer tain weight and guaranteed by the gov ernment with the stamper seal of the State, were made the medium of exchan ges. Atwfaat period gold and silver were first used is not known. Nearly 2,000 years before the Christian era, Abraham returned from Egypt, very rich in cattle, silver and gold. The shape of silver and gold among the Egyptians appears to have been that of a ring, with an opening on one side to form a chain when it was necessary. This sort of money passed by weight. Thus Abraham weighed four hundred sheckels ofinoney to the mer chant, The Jews never had any other mode of using coin than by weight so lougaa they were an independentnatlon. Furthermore, it may be a new idea to many that they never used gold as a coin. Silver and copper were their sole me dium. You never hear them talking about sheckels of gold in any of tbelr writings. Among the Egyptians and Assyrians, the coin was frequently in the shape of a sheep or a lamb, possibly of the value of these animals. It has been supposed that the change from weight to a coin representing a given value was first made by the '.Romans. The pound weight was stamped with the image of an ox. Hence our word pecuniary is derived from the Latin word peounia, signifying money, which in turn was derived from the word pecu, signifyingottttle. Thus an immense stride was made in civilization when a real value was given to coin guaranteed by the State, so os to avoid the necessity of weighing jt' every time a transaction waa made. The earliest coins were ex ceedingly rude in character. They were not perfectly round, as you now see them; A die was formed, over which the coin was placed, and then it was struck with a punch, which stamped the coin on one side, and left a rude dent on the other.— After a while, a die was made on the end of the punch so that both sides were stomped. Alexander 1., King of Macedonia Is. the first who bad his name stamped upon acorn. The Athenians made the owl their type. This gave rise to the anecdote of the Athenian miser, the roof of whose bouse was aald to be infested with a vast number of owls, in allusion to money of the well known Athenian type being concealed there. The Homans carried on the coining of money to a high degree of perfection.— Each State qnd sometimesasingleoity was authorized to issue its own coins. Every coin was a brief history of the age in which it was struck. The skill of the artizau, the composition of the coin, the history of the people, and the name of the ruling monarch were frequently told on the same coin. It is probable that al most the only portraits we have of the ancients ore what may be seen on ancient coins that have- come down to us. It is fVtiry singular that when they could stamp on copper, silver and gold the names of kings, that the art of printing was not known till within less than five hundred years. An immense number of ancient coins are preserved in -musuems in Europe. They are valuable records of past history. They are in fact printed books, on whose surfaces are stamped the records of past ages. It is said that ancient Roman coins are ,still in circula tion in Spain. They have become worn smooth and thin by time. —Maine Farmer , Japan.—James Brooks writes from Japan that the national food is fish.— There is not an ocean or river creature that the Japs do not eht, even sharks, and the uglier the more appetizing. And most of the fish sold are not dead fish, but living, jumping, wriggling fish.— You buy an eel all squirming. The iish-market men bring their fish to the market in water tubs, and the fishermen keep a huge bamboo water fish tank on each side of the junks, into which they throw the creatures that they haul up. or in. So much is thought of the fish here, that on a certain festival day every family that has had a boy born during the year hangs out a great painted fish to boast of it. Mr. Brooke says;. ' ' * “I thought once, while on the Nile, that the Egyptians, who could turn sands into gardens, were the great farmers of the world; but the Egyptians could make no such farming gardens as these. Proud as I am of the arts, sciences, and marvel ous doings of my own country, I blush when I compare American farming with this! Here are rice fields artificially cre ated, luxuriant in beauty now, terraced from hill side up and down, and watered by the bill streams, or .not watered, as the husbandman wills. There arebarley fields, and bean fields, and fields of all sorts of Japan ogricultural productions.— Forests cap all the bill tops. Two crops are raised in Japan in one year, even oh the rice-fields. .As Usual.—A handsome bachelor, a clerk in one of the most popular dry goods stores in Atlanta, is smlten with a fair resident of a neighboring city. The father of the young lady came to Atlanta recently, and registered at ihesame hotel where the bachelor clerk boards. As soon as the discovery was made, the old gentleman was looked up and made the receiponbof earnest attention (such as all of us have and are disposed to pay the parents of the ‘hoped for’) to ingratiate himself into his paternal favor. Just before dinner, the old gentleman wanted information of the young one as to where he could get a drink of “peach and honey.” ‘Well, I don’t know myself, but I’ve hoard that lu bar-rooms good liquors are kept,’ was the innocent reply. The old gentleman naked the young one. to show him the way. ‘Certainly; though I don’t drink my self,’ replied the tetotaller. Arrived at the bar, the want of the old gentleman was made known, when the bar tender remarked : * I suppose you will take gin and sugar, as usual, Mr. ——?’ He ‘had orter’ winked’ sooner. A youno man who bad been celebrat ing tbe Fourth of July, was discovered by his mother on the fifth, trying to pull off his boots. His mother (held up her hands In horror at the sight, while be, endeavoring to stand erect, exclaimed :■ ‘l'm not drunk, mother, but a stoker child you never had!’ U Thin la not tbe story of a king, but of an bumble peasant girl; the scene la not laid In a camp, but in a village at a time when Bonaparte’s wars had not yet given to tbe simple name of Berna dette (little Bernard) the historic glow which still surrounds it. A man and bis wife bad an only dau ghter, and they were so proud of her that she had scarcely come into the world when they began to think about her marriage. Tbe man, laboring with tbo greatest perseverance, sought to accum ulate for her one of those attractive dow ries which fascinate rich young bache lors; .the wife seconded hla efforts so courageously, grubbing in the ground all day and stitching all-night, constant ly proparlhg ’lhe’ brldo's outdt, that ghe fellslok and died, not being Willing'to call in .the doctor, that she might save the cost of the remedies. Father Hugh, left alone with his daughter, was Only the more anxious to have a son In law, some sturdy laborer possessing a competence, one who wool d Insure both the prosperity of hla bouse and the happiness of his beloved Berna dotte. When she got to be eighteen years of age there was no lack of suitors- Father Hugh owed to bis avarice the reputation of a man in easy circumstances, one who had cleverly turned hla pennies to ac count by making short loans at a rate of Interest not sanctioned by the Code; but all young men wishing to marry took very good care not to reproach him with an infection of the statute; the sin would remain with the father-in-law and the profits with the grandchildren, so they rubbed their hands and repeated the uni versal proverb: ‘Tla an ill' wind that blows nobody good!' Bernadette, worthy of her afro In economy and in activity ,trudged to town every forenoon to sell herchiokens, eggs, and fruit.—She frequently encountered young Micoutot, the ploughman, who would drive up his oxen to the end ot the furrow by ’ the roadside and keep them standing a long time to* bid tbe young girl good-morning, and chat with her about tbe rain, and the due weather, and the chickens, and the cows, and the growing corn, and tbe beans that ware about ■ drying. Bernadotte, no spatter, what might be hot haste to get to murket, always had a few moments to sp*e for her talkative friend, and even after leav ing him to go hack repeatedly to answer, as far as he could make her hear them, the last kind words whloh ha sent after her over the hedge. Arrived at the market-plade, the first customer whom Bernadette usually found there was the young baker Casterez who, under the pretext of examining her eggs and fruit, prolonged the conversation a full hour, praising the bright feathers of the cbiokens, their remarkable plump ness, and bestowing a thousand compli ments on tbe clever house-keeper who knew borrto get them lata such nice condition. Passing from words to acts, he would bargain for (he entire lot, vap pear perfectly satisfied with the price, and oarry the basket off to his shop, where tbe fair merchant always found some re freshment and a couple of nice tarts gar nished with sweetmeats. Bernadotte; on returning home from market lightened of her load, passed be fore the shop of the hair-dresser Firmln, a young dandy as frizzled and smoothly shaved as the little Saint Johli in the pro cession of the Pete Bleu. Monsieur Fir min had Just completed his tear through France,' as stated on a handsome sign in big letters adorned with a pair of ola sors and a razor, after the fashion of a heraldic shield stamped with a double device ‘Heigh! Bernadotte,’ exclaimed the artistic barber, ’have you any eggs to sell me to day ?’ Bernadotte nodded af firmatively. - She had been careful to conceal a dozen from the whole-sale buy er Casterez. purposely to have some left for Monsieur Firmln. Prudence 1s the mother of certainty. Mlcoucet was un doubtedly very attentive, Casterez very devoted, butMonsler Flrmiu was no less agreeable, and nobody knew what might happen. - The eggs were accordingly handed to Monsieur Firmln, who found their fresh ness quite worthy of her who brought them. Far from attemptingto abate the price, be added to the money he gave her a small flask of lavender water, or a cake of scented soap. He wanted to know how Father Hugh was, and all about Braquette, the cow whose excel lent milk maintained tbe rosy bua of the milker's cheeks, and about the sheep providing the wool, with which, to knit those pretty stooklngs so snugly fitting those little feet. Monsieur Firmln In bis tour through France bad become very impertinent ; his presumption might have oflehdsd the young.rustic, bad not her interests obliged her to dis simulate and to be somewhat tolerant He asked her to bring him eggs the next day, butter every time she emptied her churn ; and, notwithstanding his imper tinence—a fault in young men which young girls often complain af to satisfy their consciences—Bernadotte found tho h air dresser quite as agreeable as be was attentive. Micoutet the plough man, daily la the field, no. matter what might be the state of the weather, and at the earliest hour, because he aauld not sleep In his anxiety to see daylight and Bernadette, became so worn out by this way of living that he resolved to get back both bis sleep and his usual tranquility. He betook himself to the house of the father of her who had robbed him of his repose, and, cap in band, with downcast eyes and a stam mering voice, spoke to him a long time about Bernadotte, praising her vigorous arms, made for work, and the good health apparent in every form and fea ture, and finally demanded her hand. Father Hugh dld not say ya and still less no, He knew the full value of those little words of few letters; like his coins, he would not let them go without cer tain guarantees of their being properly placed. He put off the young man to the following Sunday, and meanwhile communicated the proposal to bis daughter. ‘Micoutet Is, a very nice young man,* said Bernadette. ‘I stop and talk with 'him every morning on passing his farm. He has fine . oxen, good fields,, ahd an excellent vineyard. Costerea, tbs baker, however, appears also to good advantage; would It not be wail —■ ‘Casterei, the baker! 1 replied Father Hugh in a reflective mood. ‘By our Lady, there is always bread on a baker's counter!' ‘And tarts on the dinner table,’ added Bernadotte. ‘X will find outi my child,-what the baker means before deciding.’ ‘His meaning, father, is plain enough. He buys every morning all that I take to town, and without higgling about the price, please you. if I were to ask him double, he would not make tho slightest objection.’ ‘Without higgling about the price!’ re peated Father Hugh, who did not do business in that fashion. ‘That young fellow is very much smitten. We will look into tho matter, Bernadotte; and if his granary and bis purse are as well stocked with flour and cosh as bis heart seems to bo with love, wo will try to make some arrangement.’ Father Hugh strode off to town to see the baker, wbo,. delighted with this proceeding, showed himself deeply enamored. ‘Which of the two!’ exclaimed Father Hugh to himself. ‘The thing works well. Wo will set tham to competing; goods fn demand increase in value.’ He returned home, and, communicat ing the baker's sentiments to his daugh ter, premised her to decide quickly which of tbe two it would be bssl for her tomarry. 'The baker Is a very nice young man,’ added Bernadotte, the earnest she had said of the ' ploughman Mlooutet, ‘but there 1s another, the hairdresser Firm in. He buys something of me everyday, and keeps mo an hour talking about bis tour through France, the yarn my stockings ♦ VOL. 68.-KO. 20. lERNADDTTE, OR WHITE HANDS.

When Sunday came Bernadette made herself look as beautiful as the virgin queen of a May-day festival; she put on her best starobed muslin cap, calico petti coat, red cotton handkerchief, and moroooo shoes, and awaited the appear ance of her three suitors, whem, on pre senting themselves, the father welcomed in these terms : 'You three wish to provide a husband -for my daughter, and you all oberisb the same object.

The happy couple, happy as everybody, i with as much money as good temper, labored throughout their lives to swell the contents of the soap-bag, the gift at their venerable grandfather. A Lawyer Astounded.—A few days ago a prominent lawyer of It. Louis missed ills free pass on the city railroad of that city, and suspecting tbaf It bn been atolen, he went to the office of tin Railroad Company, informed the - of his suspicion, and requested them i have any one who should present pass on the street oars arrested.

A coup' l ' (< days afterward, while searching through some papers In his office, the legal gen tleman found the missing ticket, and while riding home on a car presented the missing ticket to the conductor, who ex amined It Closely. He immediately col lared the astounded member of the bar, and in reply to a question as to what he meant by seizing him, remarked that hr bad been looking for the man who hod stolen that ticket for some days past- In vain the legal gentleman endeavored to explain that he was the rightful owner of the pass; the conductor would not be lieve him. He said he bad seen a good deal of human nature, and knew an hon est man when be saw him. On the re turn trip he brought bis prisoner back with him, and took him to the police station, where he was recognized sod released. A Fbank Reply.— lt Is said that on a certain occasion Henry.
