very few (shoulders had to bear, nt least
so thought Tom Rogers in his waking
moments. The room in which our fitful
dreamer reclined showed traces of much
better days. Though the carpets were
worn, the furniture baUered, the curtains
torn, und discolored, jet their Cornier ele
gance peeped out through all. The smok
ing jacket much tho worse 1'ot wear, and
the hall-smoked cigar clutched between
his nervous fingers, indicated the appre
ciation in which the comforts and good
things of life were held by poor Tom
Rogers. The frescoed walls were dingy
now, but even yet wer.e indicative of the
refined taste of the occupant of these
apartments. Beautiful engravings, paint
ings, and statues were on (he walls and
placed about on brackets, and Tom de

lie had been wild, very wild ; from the !
time of his leavm" collew until his for
tune had nearly nil been squandered,
there had been nothing too expensive or
luxurious for him. His grand tour had
boon one mad scene, of wino, woman,
and reckless gaming. When he had re
turned was it wonderful that he found so
many things that ouce had pleased and
occupied his attention flat and unprofita
ble ' lie had seou so much of life, so
varied, so frll of excitement, that tho
routine he met on all sides of hiin, now
that he had returned to his old home,
palled upon his senses. The drunkard
never craved the drum, as Tom did the
unnatural excitement in which he and
his madcap companions had lived during
his European tour, lie had done New
l oik anu tue principal Atlantic cities
and was pondering on sonic plan to satis
fy his gnawing appetite for change, when
it was suggested that he visit tho famous
city of the Golden Gate. Almost as soon
as proposed Tom was ready for the start.
Nuggets, diamonds, gamblers, six
shooters, and all the uccessjiy adjuncts
of a dream of California flitted before
his imagination. So he packed and came,
bringing a loiter of introduction to tho
f.lilf. of the city, beside a still plethoric
purse. That he discovered what he came
to seek, wc can hardly doubt, i lxcite-.
ment he must surely have found, for at
the end of twelve mouths after his arri
val, wc find him in his apartments
asleep, looking somewhat the worse for
wear, in fact just a little bit seoily.
While his money lasted he spent it like a
lord. Friends ho had in abundance, for
was he not the prince of jolly good fol

No fit escort for a lady to tho opera or
theater any longer, lie must be given
the cut courteous. As to the dashing Mrs.
Foil, she concluded she'd copper the fel
low, and stop her Foil from being seen
on tho streets with him again. And in
fact from that time forward. Foil never
recognized poor Tom except on one occa
sion, when he offered to loan him twenty
Sve dollars on an elegant cameo seal ring
that cost seventy-five in Europe. Was it
not enough to make poor Rogers grumble
at the world and uneasy in his sleep.
Hero were people on whom he had
spent his money, dined and wined, now
that ho had become a poor man, actually
turning up their noses at him, and refus
ing to recognize him on the streets.
But ho was lull of hope, and on the very
day when we find him asleep had invest
ed almost his last five dollars in a Mer
cantile Library Lottery Ticket,
Tom's dinner was not substantial now-a-days
as formerly. Tho wine list was
far from being as extensive as onco on a
time; aud perhaps it is all owing to the
absence in his bill of fare of his favorite
Douchcfils, that Tom dreamed at all ; for
ho did dream, and this is the gist of it :
He and many thousands more had gath
ered together in a mammoth bor, which
some wag had dubbed the Pavilion. All
seemed filled with expectation, or some
thing else. Some very poor fiddling and
blowing of horns, to which no one paid
any attention, was going on, hardly audi
ble above tho fearful tumult. Suddenly
a pompous personage, whom somebody
said was colonel W. J'. . Cuncombe,
hopped up, and with ti martial wave of
the hand bade tho tumultuous assemblage
be still. As tho speaker was a military
I man, being a Colonel in the Militia, and
the assemblage greatly interested in the
I proceedings about to take place, his eoni-
niand was immediately complied with.
! In along and verbose address he iulorin-
ecl the amiieiice what llicy had come to
gether for a fact of which they were
supposed lo be entirely ignorant; also
tho order to be observed in the drawing
of the tickets from the wheel, fur Tom
had at last learned that the drawing of
the Great Mercantile Library Lottery
was about to take place. The impatience
i of the people was by this time becoming
quite visible to all except the gallant Co
lonel, who still continued his

though gently admonished of his error by . roglyphical monogram, and other indica

in triumph, and though the thing became
! irksome, finally painful, 'twas not till way '
I in the night that he could get rid of his i
many friends, and rest in his own apart-'
, tncnls. Tom, true to his old habits, ,
i would have ordered such a supper as a
j prince might envy, but bis last live had
i gone that morning for tho ticket. Ilard-
ly had he thought this, however, when ,
; the landlord, his face wreathed with '

very same thing that Tom had in his!
'mind. It almost seemed like some fairy;
1 tale. Had this thought indeed gone fly- j
ing through tho key hole to tickle the I
car of his gracious host 'i It seemed so.
" Hut Tom had no money!" What of'
; that, was he not a gentleman : as it
not tho happiest moment of his gracious
I host's life, when ho was waiting upon
such a gentleman as Mr. Rogers? 'Tom
knew It t id to bo a liar, for only that morn
ing he had rung again and again for his
niuliins, and at last had gone without
theui ; though, this obsequious iudiwdual
had heard him all the time. Hut things
had changed now, aud Tom's credit was

of
tho set. "They had hardly seen any
thing of the old boy lately!" "Why
haii ho been keeping himself to quiet!"
" Eat supper with him ? Why, of course.
j they would !" "Tom always would smoko
I the choicest branus. and drink ihe rhoi-
cest wines I" They would acknowledge
that!" And as Foil stood admiring
his portly figure in the large mirror over
the mantel, reminding one of tho fablo of
the ambitious frog, Tom could hardly re
strain himself from inquiring if he still
wished to lend to him twenty-five on his
cameo.
Not till far into the "wee sma' hours"
did tho jovial party break up. Tom at
last slept, though not soundly. How
could a man who had just won a hundred
thousand prize ? When the sun was al
most overhead he arose, dressed himself,
and breakfasted in his bedroom. Going
out into his sitting room, he was startled.
All about his door were letters, notes en
velopes, and slips of paper. There must
have been a thousand in all. They had
been slipped under the door, poked
through the keyhole, and some had even
broken the glass of his transom in their
anxiety to get their missives before him.
Tom's heart really failed him when ho
thought it wa3 expected of him to pe
ruse and answer each and every one of
these epistles. Setting his teeth firmly
together ho went at it. He was surpris
ed at the number ot persons, old friends
of his, too, who were at this particular
moment in great need of small loans.
So tunny old friends, and all to bo tak
en so suddenly. To have answered all
these, he thought loo much for a good
thing, lie did'nt do it. The perfumed
and gilt edged missives ho laid carefully
aside, to be perused more leisurely: the

; bered, had been on the tapis, since his
; fir.t recollections of California ; had, in
fact, made quite a set at him while his
; money lasted ; ever so happy to have him
in their box at the theater or opera. 13ut,
, though they cast such languishing, al
; most loving glances with their pretty
j black eyes, Tom was not to be caught.
: The next noto was from a Mrs. Colonel
j Grasp, who would bo happy to have Mr.

receptions. This IVJrs. Col. Grasp was

ing through his mind, making his head
aud heart sick, how earnestly did ho wish
that he could forget all, uokuow oil this
fearful knowledge of this kind. In his
despair he cried aloud, " take a'l, Oh !
God ! but leave me sonic confidence in

During the " troubles," a young Con

the hospitals,when it was remarked that a
prisoner, a lieutenant, had died that morn

exclaimed the maiden.
The attendant led her into an adjoin

of the Fifth Kansas, lying fast asleep,and
thinking to have a little fun, he pointed
him out to the girl. She sprang forward,
and bending over him said:

k Romantic Story.
AT the commencement of the present
century a young man made his ap
pearance in Stratford, Conn., and spont a
few weeks at tho tavern, which then ex
isted to afford shelter to stage coach trav
elers. Whence he came and what his
business none could guess. Directly op
posito the tavern stood the small cottage
and forgo of a blacksmith named Folsom.
Ho had a daughter, who was the beauty
of tho village, and it was her fortune to
captivato the heart of tho stranger. He
told his love j said ho was from Scotland;
that he was traveling incog., but in confi
dence gave his real name, claiming that
he was heir to a largo fortune. Sho re
turned his lovo, and they were married.
A few weeks thereafter the stranger told
his wife that he must visit New Orleans.
Ho did so, and tho gossips of the town
made tho young wife unhappy by disa
greeable hints and jeers.
In a few months tho husband returned
but before a week elapsed, he received a
a largo budget of letters, and told hi
wife that ho must return to England and
go alone. He took his departure, and
the gossips had another glorious opportu
nity to make a confiding woman wretch
ed. To all but herself it was a clear
case of desertion. The wife bceame a
mother, and for two ycar3 lived on in si
lence and hope. At tho end of that
time a letter was received by the Strat
ford beauty from her husband, directing
her to go at once to New York with her
child, taking with her nothing but tho
clothes she wore, and embark in a ship
for her home in Fnoland
0
On her arrival in New York she found
a ship splendidly furnished with every
convenience and luxury for her comfort,
and two servants ready to obey every wish
that she might express. The ship duly
arrived in England, and tho Stratford
girl became tho mistress of a superb man
sion, and as the wife of a baronet, was
saluted by the aristocracy as Lady Sam
uel Sterling. On the death of her hus
band, many years ago, the Stratford boy
succeeded to the title and wealth of his
father, and in, the last edition of tho
J'ecrngc and Barow. tiije he is spoken of
as the issue of Miss Folsom, of Stratford,
North America. When the late profes
sor Stillman visited England, somo years
since, he had the pleasure of meeting
Lady Sterling at a dinner party, and
was delighted to answer her many ques
tions about her birth place in Connecti
cut. Keeping the Animal.
"1
kUIl friends of H-
-Mass., who
know tho Dartics concerned, will
appreciate the following :
At a district school meeting in tho
town after the various items of interest
set down in the warrant had beeu satis- ,
factorily disposed of, the subject of hav
ing a district library was brought up.
Where tho library should bo locsited, so
as best to accomodate the whole district,
was the next question ; for this was a
farming district, and the inhabitants were
somewhat scattered. . .
Mr. Drown (so I will call him) sug
gested that Brother Witcher's house was
very nearly the centre of the district; and
he thought it best to have it there, if
Brother W. would keep it.
Brother Witcher was an honest, indus
trious farmer, whose early advantages for
educution had been somewhat limited.
He had listened to the debate with opeu
eyes and gaping mouth, evidently unable
to comprehend what good was to come of
the movement. lie had not voted either
way ; but being thus called upon ho
arose.
" Waal," said he, generously, but con
siderately, " I guess I can manage to
keep the animal through tho summer an'
fall seein' I've got plenty of feed: but
when it conies winter, I do' no "
At this point Brother Drown inter
rupted the speaker :
" Brother Wilchell is laboring under a
misiako. It is not an animal at all which
wo want him to keep."
" Oh ? not oue o' them 'ero striped
cri ters sich as they had in the show
i daowu to the village lust week?"
i "No, no, Brother Witcher. Wo aro

i books."
