YY GOOD STORY.
TO LET-INQUIRE WITHIN.
Two young damsels and a spinster
aunt came in, and after a lengthy in
spection of the premises, came to a
state council in the parlor.
• I like the house ver3* much,' said
the spinster aunt solemnl}*, 'and with
a few alterations I will engage it for
O O
my brother's family.'
' Very good, madam,' said Nahum,
rubbing his hands, and scenting a
speedy termination of his trial 'Name
'em.'
• The door handles must all be gild
ed, and I should like the house newly
papered in velvet and gold, and re
painted, and the partition between the
parlors taken down and replaced by an
arch, and an extensive dining room
IJUiit on behind, and a bay ET3*le of
range in the kite! en and a dumb wait
er put in, and new bronzed chandeliers
throughout, and another furnace in the
sub cellar, and—'
'Hold on, ma'am—just hold 011 one
minute,' said Xahum, feebly gasping
for breath. 'Wouldn't you like the
old house earned away, and a new one
put in its place? i think it would be
rather less trouble than to make the
titling alterations you suggest.'
'Sir!' said the spinster loftily*.
' 1 don't think we can agree ma'am.'
• Very well—very well—come girls.'
With prim dignity the lady mar
shaled her two charges out. mattering
something about ' tiie extortionate
ideas of landlords now-a-days.'
Xahum wildly rumpling his iron
grey hair with both hands, soliloquiz
ed : ' Well, if Job had been alive and
had a house to let there never would
have been any book of Job written. —
There goes that everlasting bell again:
I'll haul it out by the roots if this thing
goes on much longer. I'll tear down
the heil and put the place up at auc
tion.'
Another lady; but quite different
from the other —a slender, little, cast
down lady with a head that drooped
like a lily of the valley, and a dress of
brown silk that had been mended and
darned and turned and retrimmed, and
even Xahum Briggs, man and bachelor
as he was, could see how very shabby
it was. Yet she was pretty, with big
blue eyes and shining brown hair, and
cheeks tinged with fair, fleeting color,
bloomed in vivid carmine. And a gold
en haired little lassie clung to her dress,
as like her tiny iilly buds to a bloom
chime of flower bells.
As Nahatn Briggs stood looking at
her, there came back to him the sun
shine days of youth a field ot bloom
ing clover crimsoned the June like
waves of and a blue eyed girl
loaning over the fence, with her bright
hair barred with lovely sunset gold,
and he knew he was standing face to
face with Barbara Wylie, the girl he
had quarrelled with years and years
ago, and whose blue eyes had kept
him an old bachelor all his life long.
4 This house is to bo let, I believe?'
she asked timidly, with a little quiver
in her lips.
4 1 believe it is Barbara Wylie.'
She looked up startled with a sud
den flush of recognition ; and then Bar
bara turned very pale and began to
cry. with the golden haired girl cling
ing to her skirts and wailing —
1 Mamma —mamma, what's the mat
ter, mamma?'
• Nothing, now,' said 3arbara, reso
lutely brushing away the tears. •It
you please Mr. Briggs I will look at
the house 1 am a poor widow now,
very poor, and—and I think ot keep
ing a boarding house to earn my daily
bread. I hope the rent is not very
high ?'
'We'll talk about the rent afterward/
said Nahum, fiercely swallowing down
scmj^iLnsr
a big lump in his throat that threaten
ed to choke him; ' come here little girl
and kiss me. i used to know your
mamma when she wasn't much bigger
than you are.'
Barbara, with her blue eyes still
drooping, went all over the house with
out finding a word of fault, and Xa
hum Briggs walked at her side, won
dering it' it was really fifteen years
since the June sunshine lay so brightly
on the clover fields.
' I think the house is beautiful, said
meek Barbara, ' will you rent it to me
Nahum?'
' Well yes,' said Xahum thoughtful
ly ; I'll let you have my house, if you
want it, Barbara.'
' With the privilege of keeping a few
boarders ?'
' No ma'am !'
Barbara stopped and looked wistful
ly at him.
1 But I don't think you understand
how very poor I am, Mr. Briggs.'
' Yes, 1 do.'
'And that I cannot afford to take
the house without the privilege of tak
ing boarders.'
I'll tell you what, Barbara,' said
Mr. Briggs, ' I'll give you
the privilege of keepingjust one board
er, and him you will have to keep all
your Jrfe long, ifyou once take him.'
' I don't think I quite understand
3*ou, Nahum Briggs,' but she blushed
very becomingly, and weare rather in
clined to think she told a naughty lit.
tie fib.
' W hat do \*ou say to rao for a board
er. Barbara V said the old bachelor,
taking both the widow's hands in his.
' Barbara we were young fools once,
but there is no reason why we should
be old fools now. I like you as well as
I ever did, and I'll do my best to be a
good husband to 3*ou, and a good father
to your little girl, if 3*ou will be my
i wife.'
| Barbara blushed again, and hesita
| ted; Nahum was not to be eluded thus.
•Shall I take down the 'To Let,'
t Barbara ?'
'Yes,' she murmured, almost under
her breath.
So Nahum went deliberately out and
! COOII3' tore down the bill to the great
' astonishment and disappointment of a
part 3* of rapid house hunters who were
just ascending the steps.
' And when shall we be married, Bar
bara,' be demanded.
| 'ln the summer, perhaps,' said Mrs.
Barbara shyly.
' To-morrow,' said Nahum decisively
; —and to-morrow it was
; 'Upon 1113* word, Barbara,'said Xa

watched his wife's blooming lace be

how much jollier it is with you tor a
housekeeper, than that hag, Mrs. Par

Barbara only laughed and said ' he
was a dear, good old stupid.'
So the probabilities are that neither
Mr. Nahum Briggs nor his brown stone
t house will be in market again as—' To

MISCELLANY.
Freaks ol Fortune.
A Cambria county paper notices the
death of James Boss. who died a few
weeks Bince in the Poor House of that
county, and says that his career chal
lenges a more than common obituary
notice. In early life, some titty years
since, ho married a Miss Brown of Mif
flin county, and upon the death of his
father-in law, administered upon his
estate. Among the papers found were
a number of unloeated land warrants.
With these in his possession, in 1835
Mr. Boss moved to Cambria county,
and for a time settled at Muneter. —
While here he became impressed with
the idea that there was sufficient va
cant land along the Cleartield Creek,
in the northeastern part of Cambria
county, to fill his warrants.
Acting upon this impulse, in 1837
and 1838, he procured Mr. Jacob Lev
ergood, the then Deputy Surveyor of
Cambria county, to locate a large num
ber of these warrants, which were re
turned to the I nd Office, and accept
ed. He afterwards removed to these
lands, took possession, built saw-mills,
and sold toothers; and continued to
exercise ownership without molesta
tion until 1844.
It seemed from the sequel that these
lands had already been appropriated
by a body of warrants known as the
Barton warrants, and that the title had
become vested in William A. Bayard
and Henry Barclay ; an ejectment to
try the title was commenced in 1844,
for the interest of Henry Barclay—Mr.
Bayard having previously died.
In this action the plaintiff succeed
ed, and the ease went to the Supreme
Court, where the judgment was affirm
ed. Then the action was brought for
the whole bod}', and the title was thus
litigated until about 1861, when the
last case was finally decided. During
this period thore were some seven or
eight verdicts —it was thrice in theSu-
Vol. LVII, No. 17.
preino Court—tried once in the Uni
ted States Circuit Court, and was re
moved to the Supreme Court, where,
however, it was not tried.
During all this litigation, Mr. Ross
bore himself with singular constancy.
Indeed his sole existence seemed to be
centered in this land. Though he had
able and eminent counsel, he procurod
the necessary papers, bad the survey
ing done and attended the details of
the preparation in person. lie had im
pressed great numbers of intelligent
men, including even lawyers, with tho
feasibility of his title, and at one time
a jury could scarce!}' have been found
in Cambria county to render a verdict
against him.
An old man when the litigation ex
pired, his mind was somewhat impair
ed. Poverty, too, followed, until finally
he became an inmate of the Poor
House. Vet he never, to his dying day
—in prosperity or adversity—in suc
cess or defeat—whether sane or insane,
for a moment doubted his right to the
land which had been the subject of lit
igation.
His expectations and their results
show tlie vanity of human undertak
ings. Litigating for some twenty years
the title to townships of land,
he died without enough for his grave.
At tho time of his death he was in his
eightieth year.
.Mixing llabies.
An Alliance correspondent of the
| Canton (Ohio) Repository relates the
following : Some days ago there was
a dancing party given for the benefit
of the Fenians, 011 the outskirts of the
town, and several of the ladies present
had little babies, whose noisy perver
>-ity required too much attention to al
low their ma's to enjoy the ' hop.' A
number of gallant young men volun
teered to guard the infantry while the
ladies engaged in the 'break-down.'
j No sooner bad the mothers left their
cherubs in the hands of the mischiev
ous wretches, than they stripped the
darlings, changed their clothes, giving
the apparel of one to another. The
dance over, the mothers each took, as
she thought, her own baby, and hur
riedly left the scene of gaieties and
started lor their homes several miles
apart, being far on the way before the
' peep-o -day.' On tho following day
t here was a tremendous row in the set
tlement. Mothers discovered that &
single night had changed the sex of
their babies, and then commenced
some of the tallest female jpedestrian
ism. Living miles apart, it required
two days to unmix the littio cherubs,
aud will require as many weeks to re
store the mothers to their natural
sweet disposition.
Yankee Courtship. —One evening, as I
was sitting by liattie, and had worked
rayself up to the point of popping the
question, sez I: Hattie, if a fellow
was to ask you to marry him, what
I would you say V
Then she laughed, and sez she : 'That
would depend on who asked me.'
Then sez I, 'suppose it was Ned Wil
lis?'
Sez she, 'l'd tell Ned Willis, but not
you.'
That kinder staggered me, but I was
too cute to lose the opportunity, and so
sez I again: 'Suppose it was me?' And
then you ought to see her pout her lips,
and sez she,
'I don't take supposes?'
Well, now, you see there was noth
ing for me to do but touch the trigger
and let the gun go off. So bang it

Won't you say yes?' and then there

thought I heard a 'Yes' whispered
somewhere'out in the skrimage.
