I ought to mv(o been" nn, nriist or a sculptor but I nth neither. I was book-keeper Tor Brown '& Co., dealers In hides and talipw. Henry Bower, a young man of Very' liycly disposition, was employed in tho samoof- fico and wo boarded nnd roomed together. One night. Henry nnd I attended one of the lyceum lectures In V? .. Wo had hardly been in the hall five minutes before my attention was fixed upon ono, of. the ladies up in the front sent. She was a little In (he right of me, but as tho was talking very earnestly to' the lady next to her, her faro vns. turnedtiiw.urJ us; .and. susceptible as I am, I mtild but be impressed With tho bejuty of it. Indeed, I couldn't, withdraw, my gaze from the beautiful young lady beforo me. Slie had golden hair, arjd.hcr bluest of eyes swum full of love and sweetness. Her nose was small and straight, npd alio had just the prettiest dimple among the blushes on cither cheek. And then such a mouth. What red lips! (colli of pear), flashing between the roses. Her forehead was smooth and broad, and her neck. I saw, as tho rape drooped low on her shoulders, was white as nlabatter, and smooth as marble. In brief, I did not bear a word of the lecture. A month passed without my seeing anv. thing of the benutifiil stranger. But about that lime I received an invitation to visit my friend Mrs. Segard in M '-. She is a vidowf forty; nnd is iho mother uf n cer tain Miss Segard, familiarly called Clara. I knew that Mrs. Segard had tried to bring about a marriage between Clara and my self, and I believo I was not much opposed lo the'matrh. Clara was a good girl, every body sail); n very pretty brunette, witli flashing black eyes nnd hair, but. her form was short, thick, and dowydiSh. I admire, a handsomo'form iiuite as much as a hand some face. I might havo married her really think I should, but for a little affair which happened at TJ The morning Ustarted for JI , Bow. crs accompauipd mo to the depot. While I was buying my ticket I noticed onother gentleman jcoma Into the walling room. My first thought wpa that it was my shod ow that I 6aw before me.

To get to M - , which, by Hie way, is a rather dut-or-llie-way place, a small, one- horse town, with one tavern, two churches and a poor house, I lied to leave the cars at , and then take private conveyance to M , five miles distant.

"Certainly," growled the corpulent gentle man, with a grim smile. "Come this way, you rascal!" said the tall one, drawing me along with him. His companion followed us out back of the edition, where wo were out of sight and hearing of the rest of U . "Now," said tho tail gentleman, turning ond confronting me, "I'll Introduco myself. I am Captain Augustus Boyton. This gen tleman is my father, John Boyton, Co you know us now ?" "Well, really," I replied, wondering in my mind what the deuce was coming "really, I don't know unythlng more about you than what you've just." "Hush I" said the captain ; and he bent down ond hissed in my ear, "I am Carrie Boyton's brother." 'And I am her father," growled John Boyton, 'All, really, do you say so 1" I could not help smiling, the whole affair seemed so ludicrous. "Givo my regards to Carrie." 'Hal you laugh at us, do you, villain 7" cried the captain. "Look 'ere," said lie. lowering his voice to a hurried whisper. Look at these." I did look; fur just then ho drew from his brown overcoat a handsome case, and open ing it displayed a pair of splendid silver mounted dueling pistols. "Tako your choice." A cold tremor ran through my frame. Was I, to be murdered ? "Chooso quick," urged tho captain. "Sir," said I, in a tremulous voice, while the cold drops of perspiration stood out upon my brow, "there inu-must be so-me mis take. I'm book-keeper for Brown ic Co., dealer in hides and tallow. My father was Noitun McDougal, my mother was Mary McDougal, my grandfather was " 'Confound your grandfather!

'I won't fight," I cried. 'Then marry my sister, or wo'll drag you through the mill pond," It was hopeless fur me to remonstrate I could not convinco the enraged father and son that I was not the villian McDolan. I dared not cry for help. What should I do? Marry a woman whom I never saw before, whom I knew nothing about? I had little time to con sider. Life was siveet to me,a ducking was disagreeable, nnd as to a duel I should have been a dead man at the first shot. "Choose," said tho captain, giving mo a kick with his boot. "I'll mar-marry her." And tho captain smiled grimly as ho re. turned the pistol to the case. The Elder Mr. Boyton went afler Iho car riage; but before I had ceased to tremble, ho returned. The cuptain helped mo in, and then seat ed between tho chlvalric father and son, I rode nway. There was plenty of people on the streel; but I was warned not lo shout il I knew what was healthy for mc. We rode at a smart trot for about two miles I should think; and then tho captain drew rein before a two-story white house, that stood near tho road, surrounded by a high whlto fence. There wasngravel walk up to tho front door, and several large cher ry trees stood in tho front yard. "Hero wo are," said the captain, getting down, ond motioning me to follow, The door opened just as we reached it, ami who should fall into my arms but tire identical young ladtrwho had mado such a strong impression upon my heart the night of the lecture in W "Ob, John ! I knew you would bo true," sho cried; and tbo captain snickered as be let( the way into the parlor, But once thcro I succeeded in convincing Miss Boyton that I was not McDolan. Her father apologized, and so did the captain and tha upshot of all was that I consented to stop over night with them, and I am hap py tb state that I passed a very pleasant evening indeed, I learned, too, that this John McDolan, fur whom I had been taken, was a gentle. man of wealth and leisure with onlyone fault, and that was promising to marry ovrry pretty woman that bo became acquainted with. Then I told my story, and both Mr. Boyton nnd the captain seemed pleased, nnd e did Carrie, especially when I offered to stand in McDolan a shoes. And well, my dear reader, I did about a month afterward. We bad a great wedding, and Clam Segard was one of the bridesmaids, and Henry Bower was groomsman. And I am very well satisfied McDolan took tbo up train in stead of tho down. A QUESTION iOI.VED. The Fifth Assistant Auditor of the Post- office Department, schedule B of the missing letter department, forwarded the query?! "Is a person who lias a police whistle in his pocket any safer than a man who can jump a six-rail fenco?" "At de fust glance dat seems an on easy conundrum," answered the old man, as he reached for the letter, "but when you come to ponder on it you tnus' see dat de jumper can't alius fin' a fence to jump. He may jump ngin a bouse, or a tree, or a hedge. He may Jump ober a fenco to escape robbers only to be tackled by a wolf-trap or a bull dog. Ifyouhera purlecce whistle, on' do purleece hev time to answer a call, an' yon lay de whistle down an' tackle de pusson an' hold him fast till de officer arroves, it am better than jumpin', but de chances' am dat de judge will let de man off an' hint dat you didn't hev a case 'nufftohanga hat on.

' One of the most eloquent members of the United Btates Senate, in the days when Cloy and Webster were Its leaders was Wil liam C. Preston, of South Carolina. He was so littlo given to dandyism that even his warmest admirers occasionally wished that he would follow tho spirit of l'olonius' ad vice, and lot his "opparel proclaim tho man." An amusiag adyenturo happened to him once, in consequence of his unsenator lal appearance. lie was mistaken for a gambler. Ho was on board a Mississippi steamer, which then permitted gambling in its cabin as freely ns It did whisky-drinking. TXis freedom Induced many gamblers to travel up and down tho river. Not unfre qucntly a steamer's cabin was turned into a a gambling "hell," nnd scores of greenhorns were fleeced. The gamblers generally play ed tbo game of faro, the implements of which they carried in a small mahogany box. As they bet against all who played they were callcd"bankers," and their money tho "bonk." Senator Preston was standing on the steamer's deck, ami holding a small ma hogany box. Suddenly a man ornately dressed approached him and whispered : "I say, old feller, when aro you going to begin ?" "Begin what, sir?" asked tho astonished Senator. "Pshaw, nono of that gammon with mo I A few of us boys nro on board, and we want a littlo fun. Wo won't pile it on too slrongj so come along nnd open at onre." "Really, sir, I don't understand you. Open what?" "Open what? Why, tho hank, of course. Maybe you think our pilo isn't large enough to mako it an object. But wo are, not so poor as you may suppose." The senator was at a loss to understand what wus meant, nnd his countenance, ex pressed his perplexity. After a considerable pauso the stranger continued : "I'cihaps you will say that you're not a sporting man."' "I am certainly nothing of tho kind," re plied the now angry senator, "and I can't imagine what put iuch an idea into your head. "Not a 'sporting-man?' If you're not, why do you carry the tools about with you7" and the mahogany box. Tho light which broke into tho senator's mind caused him to laugh heartily. "Ah, yes! A very natural mistake, indcotl very natural," ho exclaimed. "I'll show you the contents of my mahogany bux. Opening it, ho displayed (be contents of a dressing-case razors, brushes, combs, soap and other toilet articles. The man looked at Ihe, box, and then sharply at the senator, and said i "I totik you for a sporting gentleman, but I see you're nothing but a barber. If I'd known it I, wouldn't spoke lo you 1" and ho moved off, looking as if ha had been abused. MAN'S UXl'EUIEIVCE. Thero is an article going the rounds en titled: "How Girls go to Sleep." The man ner In which they go to sleep according lo the article, can't hold ncandloto the way a married woman goes to sleep. Instead of thinking what she should have attended lo beforo going to bed, she thinks of it after ward. While sho is revolving theso mat ters in her mind, and while snugly tucked up in bed, the nld man is scratching his legs In fronlof the firn, and wondering how he" will pay tbo next month's rent. Suddenly sho says: "James, did you lock the door?" "Which door 7" says James. "Tho cellar door," says she. "No," says James. "Well, hadn't you better go down and lock it, for I heard somo person in the back yard last night. Accordingly, James paddles down stairs and locks tbe door. About the time James returns and is going to get into bed, she re marks! "Did you shut tbe Etair door?" "No," says James. "Well, if it is not shut, tho cat will get up into tho bedroom." "Let her come up, then," says James ill- naturedly. "My goodness, no," returns bis wife. "She'd suck the baby's breath." Then James paddles down stairs again, steps on a tack and'closes the slair door and returns tn the bedroom. Just as ho begins to climb into Ills couch his wife observes: "I forgot to bring up somo water. Sup. pose you bring up some in the big tin." And so James with a muttered curse, goes down into the dark kitchen and falls over a chair, and rasps all the tinware off tho wall in search of tho "big" lin, and then jerks the stair door open and howls: "Where tbe deuce aro the matches?" She gives him minute directions where to find the matches, and adds that she would rather go and get the water herself than have the neighborhood raised about it. Af. ter which James finds the matches, procures the water, comes up stairs and plunges Into bed. Presently his wife says. "James, let's havean understanding about money matters. Now, next week I've got to pay " "I don't know wbat you'll have to pay, and 1 don't care," shouts Jameses he lurch es around and jams his face against tbe waII; "all I want is sleep." "That's all very well for you," snaps his wife, as she pulls the cnver viciously; "you never think of the worry and trouble I have, And there's Araminta, who I believe is tak ing the measles." "Let her take 'em," says James. Hereupon she begins to cry softly, but about tbo time James Is falling Into a gentle doze she punches him in the ribs with her elbow and says: "Did you hear that scandal about Mrs. Jones ?"' "What Jones?" says James, steeply, "Why, Mrs. Jones." "Where?" Inquired James. "I declare," says his wife, "but you are getting more stupid every day. You know Mrs. Joues that lives at No. 21 ? Well, day before yesterday, Susan Smith told Mrs. Tlioinoon that Sam. Baker has said that Mrs. Jones had " Hero she pauses and listens, James is snoring in profound slumber.

A cose was heard recently in Sheffield county (Eng.), in the coureo of which some cxtraodinary rovelrilions were mado respect ing tho conduct of n very penurious and wcallbv old man named Buxton toward ft bride whom he married a short time before his death, The action was brought against Buxton's executors by a Scotch draper named Keyan, to recover 37 Ss. for goods supplied. Up to the time of his death, Bux ton lived In the neighborhood of Sheffield, and died worth 10,000, beside a quantity of freehold property. His wlfo was formerly his housekeeper, at which time she was re ceiving lrom him only 10 per annum. When ho made her an offer of marriage, ho was CO years of age, and she was only 30, On their wedding-day tliehusbmd provided a dinner of beans and bacon. On the mar riago Jay Mrs. Buxton gave her liusband between 20 or 30,this being money which she bad saved. Sho subsequently discov ered that he went to the saving's bank and drew out what money she had there. He only allowed her Is. OJ.. n week for pin money, and she was consequently obliged to get articles of clothing for herself ami Iur husband upon credit. His honor, in giving judgment in favor of the claim, said that the caso was ono which mightipwer hi havo been defended. Tho executors should have paid the money Instead of allowing the testatnrs's name to be held up to Infamy, as. would now be the caso. Here was a man who had died worth 10,000, and yet ho had taken 20 from his housekeeper when h e married her, and afterwards put into his own pockets her savings which she had placed in the bank, II gave judgment .fur the plaintiff, with costs. to fail xim 9ioun.
