LOV} I= I suppose I have a right to sign myself " Gent/et/tan," because I don't have to work for a living, and can smoke cigars and drink liquor all the time if I like, for my father has got rich on contracts since the late war begun, and I am, as his only son and heir, kept well supplied with the "ueedfnl" to make a show in the world with. My tailor. and boot-maker mali.e, one fashionable—Wippert Slote hats !, Tr WO intend - all the operas—l must' be a :Zen delimit. But that is not my story. I will tell that, and then I know I shall hare the sympathy of the reader. I met a lady just two weeks ago, to a day from the time when I sit down to write this story. I met her going up Franklin street. in company with a lady whom I had known for years and was by the latter introduced to her. She, the lady first j spoken of, was very handsome—the only i handsome red-headed lady that I ever I saw. Some people might have called her hair auburn—l call it, red—it was a rich mahogany color. ller eyes were black as jet. her skin the purest, clearest red and white yon ever saw. Her features were I regular. rather Spanish in style, I think, and her figure. plump. bat as graceful as could be. fell in love with her the moment my eyes rested upon her, even before my friend gave her name in favoring me with :tr./ introduction Miss Mebitable Ann Jenkins was her name. Not very romantic, but what was a name when the lady herself was so per fectly angelic. 1 asked and received permission to join them in the promenade, and soon learned that the adorable ■\lehitable Ann was in town for only a week visit, that she was staying at the Tn. Douse, Main street, the lady who was with her, that she was the only daughter of a wealthy West chester County farmer, and lived only an hours ride front Hudson ou the Harlem Nail load. I also learned from her own lips that she was distractingly fond of music. and in consequence invited both the ladies to honor my box at the opera with their presence. They accepted, and I was in the seventh heaven of delight, right away. They would go that Ter. night. And they would ride behind my fast trotters on Delaware on the next afternoon, if the sun shone. I would like to have seen it refuse to shine on that occasion. It knew better. Both engagements—the opera and the drive were kept. 1 hinted a yacht ex cursion up the lake. That they thought would be delightful. I bought a yacht which I had been looking at before, and the sail Caine off. My auburn-haired Angel was delighted. She was not a bit sea sick, though we went into the latitude of Duck Island, and her appetite for lob ster salad, ham sandwiches and Ireidsiek, was even freshened by the sea air. I was supremely happy, the dear girl enjoyed herself so much. The week of her stay in the city at last ended, and I was almost iu despair when she said that she must go home, she could not put cif her return any longer. But she lessened my misery by saying. that it pained her to part with me—l bad been so very kind to her, and she hoped I would come up to Wensecko, to see her. Her father would be very glad to see me, and she hoped I would come. Would I not promise to do so ? Of course I would, and did, and tend erly I pressed her hand when we parted. And she returned the pressure—l am sure she did and I. told her that not a week would elapse before I visited her iu the paternal mansion. That night I dreamed of her—the next day thought of nothing but her. I had joined a club some few weeks previous and was down for a speech to them. But I had so much of the Mehitable Anu in my mind that I rave the speech the go by. It was a rule of our club that its members were to wear the Southern badge. Jeff. Davis' portrait, with a star each side of it, and au eagle above and below it. Mehitable Anti did not see the badge, for I did not put it on until the evening after she went away, when I visited the club. It was a showy looking thing-- something like the cross of the Legion of Honor. I thought Mehitable Ann would like it. too. Father is au out Southerner, for he got his contracts out of Jeff. Davis. and made his fortune by it. I never would have been a gentleman if it hadn't been for Jeff. Davis and them contracts. I waited three days after 3lebitablc Ann Inid gone home—three miserable, lonely days, and then I made up my mind to go and see her. She had told me just how to reach her. 1 was to take the three o'clock train, and when I reached Wenseeke station to get into a stage. and tell the driver to let me out at the man sion of Joshua Jenkins, which he would pas 4 on his route. I took the train, arrived at the station, found the stage, and asked the driver it' he could leave me at the horse of .Toshua Jenkins. Ile said he reckoned he could, and told me to jump in. The stage was thll of women and babies ; but T found room. and got in. I saw that the driver and a nnw in soldier c l o thes, that sat with him, loolsed at my badge right sharp, and seemed to be talking about it. The driver had a red thee, and swore at his horses, and so 1. took hint to 'be democrat. But [ didn't care for that. I was a gentlemau, and my father was a contractor, and I was a huckleberry above his persimmons any tray. r 7 But to go on. The stage went three or four miles, I should think. before it stopped, and then the driver said Young man, there is Josh Jenkins' • house. Take a good look at it now, fir don't believe you'll . stay around a great while ivith the colors you wear thought his remarks were devilish impertinent, but I was too much of a gen tleman to bandy words with a stage driver. so I paid my fare, and got out.

I looked the old gentleman in the face, and extended my hand. Ile had a very red thee, an extraordinarily red thee, and he was a very large wan. That was all that I had time to notice before, he spoke. • Vaat's that you've got on your coat?' he asked. pointing to my badge. • That. sir,' said I. thinking to make a hit, 'is the honored portrait of the lather of his Country, of the greatest statesman and most eminent man the present age. the renowned Jefferson Davis, l're,ident now, and President to be again :' Are voit a Southerner?' lie wiked very quickly • T. am proud to say that I sin. sir—a regular War Eagle I answered.

It, with a fine' collection of paintings, was once the property of an old tanner, who de termined that his friends and neighbors should know that lie could be a man of taste, a scholar, a man of enhure—tanner that he was. So he collected his books, a few at a time, and what is more to the point, he read them.

It is difficult to get good potatoes, and harder still to get them cooked so that they way come upon the table mealy and fit to cat. At this season of the year, par ticularly. and until the new crop comes, almost all potatoes when boiled are apt to be water soaked and soggy, and we are sure the lovers of this esculent will thank us for eiving them a receipt for having mealy potatoes every day in the year,— not a fancy one made to order for a cook book, but one that has stood and will stand the test of constant practice. It is very simple, and involves only a slight increase of trouble and labor over the or dinary method of cooking. Pare the raw potatoes and let them stand an hour or so in a basin of water in which a pinch of salt has been added. Boil quickly, when done, drain off the water carefully, and re-place the potatoes upon the stove, in the same vessel in which they were cook ed, to dry for five or ten minutes. When ready to serve, take each potato and squeese it gently.—but not enough to de stroy the form—in a dry napkin, and place immediately on the table. 'The squeezing in - the napkin takes out all the water and leaves the potatoes that were before wet and heavy, dry, mealy and delicious. WRINKLE ABOUT T.LIF: AGE or Housr:s.—A short time ago we met a gen tleman from Illinois, who gave us a piece of information in regard to ascertaining the age of a horse, after he or he has passed the ninth year, which was new to us, and will be, we are sure, to most of our read- ere. Tt is this: after the horse is nine years old, a wrinkle comes on the eyelid at the upper corner of the lower lid. and every year thereafter he has one well de fined wrinkle for each year over nine. If, for instance, a horse has three wrinkles, he is twelve; if four, he is thirteen. Add the number of wrinkles, to nine, and you will always get it. So says the gentle man ; and he is confident it will never fail. _\,s a good many people have horses over nine, it is easily tried. If true, the horse dentist must give up his SEEDING DOWN PASTIMES.—The Pres ident of the Franklin Co (Mass.)

The aced need not be sep arated, but sown with the chaff. The herds grassshould be sown from the 10th of August to thelst of September. Some members favored rolling the land after the seed is sown, some bushing it, while others thought neither essential. ONIoNs Ash POULTRY.—Scareely too much can be said in praise of onions for fowls. They seem to be a preventive and remedy for various diseases to which do mestic fowls are liable. Having frequent ly tested their excellences, we can speak understandingly. For gapes and inflam mation of the throat. eyes and head, onions are almost a specific. We would, there fime, recommend giving fowls, and cspeci: ally young chicks, as many as they will eat, as often as twice or three times a week. They should be finely chopped.

Soak for an hour in clean water. and wipe dry and then spread it all over with thin flour batter, and lay in a deep dish with sticks under to keep it up out of the gravy. When fully done, take off the skin and the batter crusted upon the flesh side, and set away to cool.
