A "man" is one thing with a servant, a "gentleman" another, and a person something different from either. The man: stood in the hall, but I wondered why he had not been called a gentleman. I was puzzled where to place him myself. His dress was very neat, but plain and rather coarse. His linen, that badge of refinement, was white, in perfect order, and almost ele gant. Everything about him seemed substantial; but nothing gave me a clue to his poSition in life. In all outward seeming he - was simply a man. When he spoke to me, his address was simple, clear, direct, and with a eerie in air of self-reliance. "Doctor," he said, " I want you to come and see my child. We fear he is threatened with croup." I put on my hat, and prepared to ac company him; for if the case were as he, supposed, there was no time to lose. In this disease a single hour may make a life's difference. In a moment we were in the street, and walking briskly up one of our broad avenues. The child, he said, tel been playing out of doors, had eaten heartily at supper, gone to sleep, and waked up a short time since very hoarse, with a choking cough. The ease was a pretty clear one, and I hurried my walk still ! more, and in , a few moments we were at the door. We wilt up—up, up—to the fourth story. The last flight of steps was carpeted, and a small lamp at the tonlighted us up. An excellent and very durable kind of mat lay at the door. You will see in time why I give theSe little particulars.

"I am glad you have come so soon," she said, in a soft, pure accent.

I spent a week in, house hunting. Some were too dear, some too shabby. At last I found this place. It was new and clean, high and airy, and I thought it would do. I got it for fifty dollars a year; and though the rents all around have advanced, our landlord is satisfied with that, or takes it in prefer ence to risking a worse tenant.

"Here, tirsr of all, is a mill, which cost the twelve shillings. It grinds all my grain, gives me the freshest and most beautiful meal, and saves toll and profits. This is a barrel of wheat. I buy the best and am sure that it is clean and good. It costs less than three cents a pound ; and a pound of wheat a day, you know, is food enough tin• any mart. We make it into bread, mush, pies:, and cakes. Here is a barrel of potatoes. This is hominy. Here are some beans, a box of rice, tapioca, macaroni. Here is a barrel of apples, the best that I can find in Fulton Market. Here is a box of sugar, and this is a butter jar. We take a quart of country milk a day ; buy the rest of our living by the box or barrel, where I can get it best and cheapest. Making wheat—eaten as mush or bread, and all made without bolting—and potatoes, or hominy, or rice, the staple, you can easily see that a dollar a week for provisions is not only ample, but allows of a healthy and al most luxurious variety. For the rest, we eat greens, vegetables, fruit and berries in their season. In the summer we have strawberries and peaches, as soon as they are ripe and good. Mary will get up a dinner from these mate rials, at the cost of a shilling, better than the whole bill of fare at the Astor House.- SELLING UNDER .

The brillim t colors had all disappeared from the ducks' plumage; but - on the other hand, the water had assumed a remarkable variety of hues!

Mooring it by a little clump of bushes, its only occupant sprang out and looked searchingly around. • It was a youth, evidently in the first dawn of manhood, yet tall and athletic, with broad shoulders and well-develop ed chest. There was a grace and dig nity in his bearing which ill-accorded with his garb, which, though rich and costly, betrayed a servile condition. The badge upon the sleeve of his richly em broidered jerkin showed that he belong ed to the household of Edward of Eng- , land, then entertained by Philip of France with more than royal magnifi cence. He had evidently expected to meet some one, for he paced up and down the banks of the river with quick and hasty strides, biting his lips and knitting his brows with an air of impatience. Suddenly, he caught the gleam of a white dress, and then a pale but beauti ful maiden emerged from a cluster of trees near by, and looked around with a timid air of impatience. _ . The youth immediately sprang for ward and pressed her eagerly to his bosom. " At last!" lie exclaimed, showering upon lip and hand such passionate kisses that the cheeks, so pale a mo ment before, glowed with the brightest MEM For a few moments the maiden yield ed herself to his embrace, and then, es caping from his arms, she said, in a low musical voice : "Dear Edouward, it was with the ut most difficulty that I could elude obser vation. This must be our last meeting ! I tremble when I think of what the con sequences would be should it conic to the knowledge of my royal father !" The page pressed her hand passionate ly to his lips. " Flee with me, Isabel !" he exclaim- " I have friends in Germany who will gladly give us a welcome and a home. There we can live and love, free from the cruel persecution that awaits us here!" The Princess shook her head. Nay, Edouward, I cannot thus openly defy my'father's authority. No blessing would follow an unhallowed union." A dash of crimson crossed 'the fore head and the eagle eyes flashed with sudden impatience. " Vol( (1,, not love ho l"lu oxelainied, " you 1. 0111(1 1101 ,0 coolly decide Upoll our eternal separation P . The princess turned a reproachful look upon her lover, and remained si lent. "I see how it is," he added, still more bitterly ; " when a king woos, it is meet that all other suitors stand aside! I marvel not that you sliduld turn from Edouward the page to Edward the prime! Nor is it the first time, I weer, that in woman's eyes, a crown has out weighed a true and faithful heart!" " Cruel and ungenerous !" murmured the princess through her tears. "Are words necessary to prove the strength and sincerity of my lover.' I, that have forgotten, not only royal lineage, but the dictates of mai&nly reserve, to meet thee here night after night, lavish ing upon thee a devotion that a king dom cannot buy !" The sight of those tears touched that kind, though impulsive heart. " Forgive me, dearest; the thought of losing you nearly maddened me, and made me, for a moment, ungrateful and uujnst. Lay that sweet hand in mine, and say that the page shall gain what prince Edward shall fail to win !" '• I will give it to none other!" said the princess solemnly. "Sooner than become his wife. I will he the bride of Heaven !" Just then came the murmur of voices and the sound of approaching footsteps. Hist 1" exclaimed the princess, hur riedly. " They have missed me, and are even now in search of llle. (if) ! go quickly, or all is lost!" The page pressed a hasty kiss upon that pale cheek, and then jumping into the boat, glided swiftly down the stream. He had scarcely disappeared round a bend in ,the river, when two men emerged from the forest, whose livery showed that they belonged to king Phil ip's household. As soon as they ob served the princess, the elder of the two stepped forward, and uncovering his head, respectfully, said: " I crave your highness' pardon, but the king has sent us in search of you.— He sent to your appartments twice, hav ing important news to communicate, and is sorely vexed to learn that you have wandered from the palace unat tended." " I will take all the blame, good Jean not,".said the princess, smiling faintly, as else turned to retrace her steps. Yet, in spite of all her efforts, her heart beat fast as she obeyed the royal mandate, and stood in the presence of the' king. " How now ?" he said, sharply.— " -What unmaideuly freak is this? It I ill befits a daughter of France to stroll around unattended, like any country wench' But more of. this anon, Get thee at once to thy chamber, and bid thy tirewoman deck thee in thy rich est apparel, for Prince Edward is within a few hours' ride, and will be impatient to see his bride. When thou art attired in a garb more befitting thy station, come into the Grand Reception Hall; King Edward is there, and desires to speak with thee." For a moment those beautiful eyes were lifted imploringly to that stern face, and then she turned hopelessly " Why was 1 born a king's daughter?" was her inward ejaculation, as she pas sionately submitted herself to the hands of her tirewoman. " The lowliest mai den in the realm can give her hand with her heart, while mine is shamelessly sold to the highest bidder!" When the Princess Isabel entered the spacious hall, she found in it a crowd of persons of both sexes, haughty lords, I , rave knights and statete dames. There were the retainers of both kings, who were easily distinguished from each other by the colors and arms they wore, and who seemed to vie with each other in the magnificence of their attire. At the upper end of the hall stood Philip of France and his royal guest, Edward I. Rivals in power, they had been bitter enemies, but had now con cluded a treaty of peace and amity, which was to be cemented by the inter marriage of their families; Ring Ed ward's with Margaret, Philip's sister, and the Prince of Wales with his daugh ter Isabel. Near by stood a number of the Royal fanaily, among whom was the dauphin, after Wards Charles .the Fair, theik.a slight and rather. effeminate-looting youth ; and the Princess Margaret, though past the,flush of youth, remark- for the grace and stateliness of her bearing. There Was a marked difference in the . appearance of the two kings; Edward was a head the tallest, with a frank, dignified and gracious aspect that was heightened by contrast with the hasty movements and restless glance of the despotic and fiery-tempered Philip. • The eyes of the former rested with a look of undisguised admiration upon the princess, as she bent"- her graceful head before'them. Stepping forward, he pressed his lips to her forehead, saying; "God be with thee, fair daughter! In the name of my son, I salute thee. Hust thou no questions to ask concern- / ing the impatient bridegroom, who will soon be here to claim his promised bride?" As Isabeb looked up into that frank and kindly face, a wild hope, born of desperation, sprang up in her heart. "God save your majesty !" she re plied. " I had, indeed, something to say to thee, but this is hardly the fitting place to speak it." " Sayest thou so?" rejoined Edward. " Thou shalt lack neither place nor op portunity." Taking hold of Isabel's hand, he It'd her through a side-door into an inner apartment. " Now open thy whole heart to me, my child," lie said, kindly, " as if I were the father that I shall shortly be." Agitated by conflicting hopes and fears, the princess burst into tears. " It cannot, must not be, your majes ty !" she exclaimed. " Ido not love Prince Edward; and to wed him would be a deadly sin !" Contrary to her expectations, the king manifested neither surprise nor dis pleasure. " Thou halt never seen my son—how, then, dost thou know? He is brave and noble of heart, comely and of goodly presence; thou wilt soon learn to love him." " Never, your maieSty. I doubt not but what he is all that you say—yet can he never win my heart for I—T love another." In spite of all her etthrts, the maiden', voice faltered as she made this bold avowal. But the king's countenance still retained its serene and kindly look. "And that other," he inquired----" is he thine equal in birth and station ?'' "He is of gentle, though not royal blood, sire.
