I am determined, that when I marry
I will elope."
One Ilweek later Lizzie and Hugh
MurraY parted at the door with these
words • •
" Toit are sure," said Hugh, "that
this is 14tic?s only objection ?" •
"Sure," replied. Lizzie.
" Well, I'm glad it's - •nO worse

Good hyc."
leaving her with a warm shake
of the
_hand, young Murray took his
way toiMr. Graham's countinghouse
in the lefty. He was closeted with
Graham for a long time, and then
came tit with a-beaming face and a
light step. The , same evening foun_d
him alone with Lucy in the drawing
room of Graham Villa. He *as Very
silent and 'apparently sad, while Lucy
was reMarkably cheerful and chatty.
"Positively, Mr. Murray, .you are
very tiresome," said Lucy ; "you arc
as silent:as if you (were dumb. Have
you anything on your cOnscience ? "
" Lucy," said he, looking !up into
her, latighing eyed, "Lucy, I love
youi"
•
" so you have said
before. if you have nothing more
original, to say, you had better re
lapse into silence:"
• " . 1. - c4; but, Lucy." said lie, with a
lugubrious sigh, "7I have loVed you
long, !Mt I never felt how dear you
were tO' me so fOreibly as to-night.

and there was a joyfillthrill in his
voice. _ Oh, Lucy; may lI hope that
you love me ?"
" I—l like you," said she. ! .
"Is that all ?" • said her' lover.
Alas, Your father was right. lie
said that you were too Lyoung to love,
and I was too poor to marry.'
" Poor:" said Lucy.'
Yes Didn't you know that the
Spanish stock has gone down to
nothing and that all' my property
was invi!sted in it? you knOw
that .1 was penniless ? Aud i yet I

Lucy stood still looking .at him.
For a Monlent romance was Torgot

WaS the answer. " Hugh !"—and the
little soft hand lay among his masses

employed her time very "peculiarly
for an inValid. She packed all her

clothes into a carpet-bag. She laid
out her-traveling dress upon the bed,
and arranged a.ncw brown ribbon on

Early in the evening, Lizzie and
her mother came to bid her an affec

she dressed herself in her traveling

by the 'window. The night passed

beneath, she saw Hugh armed with
some tiny stones, which he Was.throW

would certainly have prevented any
mischief from the poison.
Corrosive sublimate is . the article
generaly used to destroy the verthin
which sometimes infest our couches.
A solution of it is laid upon the tlOor

np-stfdrs to play; the baby crawls to
the tea-cup, and drinks. Now what

Physicians in the 'country rarely
carry scales with them to weigh their
preF,eriptions. They itilminister their
medecines 1) gue , ss, from a tea-spoon
or the point or a knife. Suppose a
common. A physician in a bur
i;-ry leaves an over-nose of tartar-emet-
ic, (generally the first prescription in
.eases of Lilhou fever.) ctrl pnrsues
his way to another patient, ten miles
distant. The•mylicine is duly. ad
ministered, and the man is poisoned. ,
When the case becomes alarming,
one messenger is dispatched for the
doctor, and another to call in the
neighbors to see the sufferer die.
Now there is, in a canister' in the
cupbm4d, and on a tree that grows
by the door, a remedy for this dis
tress and alarm—a sure means of
saving the sick man from threatened
death. A strong decoction of yQ,nng
hyson tea, oak bark, or any other as
tringent vegetable, will changl! tar
tar emetic into a liftrmless.compound.
Vessels of copper often give rise
to poisoning. Though this ;metal
I undergoes bat little change in a dry
atmosphere, it is rusted it' moisture
is present, and its surface becomes
covered with a 'green substance--- . '

poisonous compound. It has some-
times happened that a mother has,
for want of knowledge, poisoned ifer
family. Sour-krout, when permitted
to stand for some time in a copper,
vessel, has produced death in a Jew
hours. ~Cooks sometimes permit
• pickles to remain in copper vessels,
