2 good naturcd-fcllow. 1'rcd took tlio sec ond scat, und hud tlio pleasure? of seeing beforo the breakfast was over that bo wan utterly dethroned. A eool civility took the place of nil the bows and smiles that had been meant for tho genuine Mr. Jones. Everybody appeared to feel that somehow bo was an impostor ,bccause they bad mado a mistake. It seemed a though nothing but tho cxtretno friendliness and respect which tho real Mr. Jones showed him saved him from absolute rudeness. Fred's spirit was up. To retreat un der tho circumstances would bn cowardice. He stayed and went about his business just bo had at first intended to, and this time nobody interfered with him. The Scvcrns iuvitcd him, but in such an em barrassed way, and with such readiness to take bis excuses, that bo ceased going there. " It is awkward having two of a name," ho said, and stayed away. But at last ho had what he came for a long wood ramble in tho stillness of perfect solitude. It was far more de lightful than the stale flirtations and sen timentalities of the Miss Scvcrns. There was one companion, though, in his rambles, whom he had not looked for. Tho imago of Clara ftiehuiond haunted him ; not in the haughty guise in which sho had first appeared to him, but with tho wistful eyes, that often sought his now, and would not become angry at his cold avoidance, with tho soft voico with which she addressed him when be would scarcely uotico her. ".Sho pities me because I'm slighted," be thought, his cheeks burning with angry pride. " I will let her see that she mis takes. What are these people to me '! I have friends who are wealthier and higher in life than any of them. And if I am poor now, I may not bo so always." It was true, the people were nothing to him, and lie was quite well enough con nected, and quite philosopher enough, to laugh at these whims ; but that this girl should pity him, as if it were in the power of theso country folks to disturb bis se renity, that was cruel. No man worthy of the name enjoys being pitied, and Fred liked it less than most. But all bis coldness and pride did not chill the tender heart that wa3 so op pressed with the memory of its own mis deeds toward him. .She was determined to speak to him. "If you don't want to speak tome, you need not ; but I wish you would," she said one morning as he passed her on the veranda, on his way to tho woods, ller manner, in spite of its pretty archness had a touch of soft entreaty and sadness. " Why do you wish I would," he asked, standing besido her, and lookiug down in her face. Tho color flickered in her cheeks. " Because 1 think you worth talking with." " I should have judged qui to the con trary," ho replied, with a toujh of cold ness, but softening, too. Sho glanced about and saw that they were alone. " 1 owe you an apology," she said, hastily, her face reddening, her eyes filling with tears. " And I owe you an explanation. We all hoard that a Mr. I'red Jones was coming here, that ho was very wealthy, aud that ho had seen my photograph souiewhero, and was coming to see mo. I didn't like the talk it mado. Anno Sevems heard it all from a friend who wrote to her. Auno jested about my well, no matter! I mado up my mind before you came that 1 would not speak to you, and when I saw what court everybody paid to you, merely because they thought you were rich, I was disgust ed, and I visited their iaults on you. Forgive me !" This was poured forth in rapid words and an impassioned tone, and ut the last she raised her eyes, overflowing with tears, to bis face. Tho look and sudden change in her almost! took his breath. " I more than forgive you," ho exclaimed, und turned his head away, lest ho should say more. There was a moment of sileuco ; then he said, " Wont you conio out for a walk '! The morninsr is lovely." She started up brightly, ran for her j hat, und iu a few minutes they were walking down tho village street, side by i side as lmppy aud cheerful as two chil dren. " May I ask a question ?" said Fred. " Surely," was tho cordial reply. " Why did you change your mind about the i ich Jones when ho came? Vou have not been cool with him ?" " Because he was friendly to you," sho answered, promptly, then blushed ut her own admisiion. Fred said nothing then. Whether bo said moro when they wero out of the vil lage street, and walking in tho lovely summer woods, we must guess. But when they cumo home, lato to dinner, Miss Richmond, it was observed, went up stairs and stayed there, and Mr. Jones really did not see uuy one at the table, though ho sat there, und Mrs. Conway had to ask him twice whero Clara was be foro ho heard her. After dinucr was over Jones No. 2 cuma into No. l's room, and threw himself down very disconsolately. " I may us well give up, I- see," be said, lugubriously. " I really did tako a shine to Clara's picture, but well I wish you joy." " Thank you !" said Fred, with a bril liant aiuilo. " But don't be dowu-hearl-cd. Won't oue of the Severn girls do ?" " l'laguo take 'em tho young man cried out. " What do they court a fellow so tor? And tho old folks fairly hug mo, I declare they do I I dare say they did the same by you. I'm sick of 'em. I mean to go away." And go away bo did, to tho despair of tho landlord and tho squire's family, and Fred was tho only Jones there. When ho went back to town, after a vacation twice us long as bo bad intend ed to take, ho escorted Miss Richmond and Mrs. Conway. The old lady was a little sulky at first, but she liked his independence, and she could not resist her niueo's coaxing. " Besides," she said, "I never placed wealth above family. And Fred's fami ly is really excellent." ' I'd rather have your consent," Fred said, " but 1 am determined to have Clara!" putting his arm around tho lady as ho spoke. " And I'm determined to have liitu !" Miss lliehmond responded. " Well, upon my word !" exclaimed the old lady, scandalized but helpless. Well, that was years ago, when old folks might think Fred no great catch. But ho prospered. Happiness agreed with him, and if wealth is in the eyes of tho reader a sign of success, let him or her go to Highblood Street, and soo the brown-stone bouse in which Mr.andMrs. Fred Jones live. It hasn't its superior in the city. As to the Severn girls, who arc not invited there, their eyes turn green when they sec it. First Nail Mill'lii America. 1)()OXKT()WN, (now Boonton,) situ l f ated in Morris county, New was the site of tho first nail mill in this country. Wc find the following facts in an article in tho N. Y. Evnu'wi J'nat : "Jioonetown received its name from Thomas Boone, (lovernor of the Pro vince of New Jersey in 1700. It grew yearly in strength and power. Colonel Ogden, whose family had owned tho property before him, was the proprietor, and laid out what was then considered large sums in adorning and beautifying his settlement. But tho shipment of iron to England before it could be manufac tured, rankled i n tho Colonel's breast, and secretly in the year 1770 ho laid plans to build a mill for the sliting or sawing out of nails. A trustworthy friend in Eugland ob tained drawings of a mill there, and with much caution the most skilled mechan ics of Boonetown went to work on the illegal and dangerous mill. To cover still further his designs, Colonel Ogden erected a flour-mill on tho side of a hill to which, with infinite difficulty, ho car ried a sluice of water. As the little set tlement contained only friends, the build ing below the flour-mill of un extra story, to contain tho slitting machine, soon be came known in the vicinity, but was kept as carefully concealed secret from the outside world. After much difficulty and patience the machine was completed and a trial was had. Alas ! At each stroke of the saw tho teeth thereof flew into atoms, and the iron bars rofused to become narrow slits from which would result nails. ' Almost in despair a well-tried work mun was despatched to England to find out at what point tho machine was defi cient, but on his arrival thero bis speech proclaimed him to be an American, aud being caught examining a mill, ho was ar rested and confined for three years in prison. Ho managed to escape, however, und returned to Boonetown, whero he had been mourned as dead bearing with him tho valuable intelligence that suet on the saw would cnublo it to work with ease. This being done, tho nails wero mado in vast quantities, and soon became known through New Jersey and even in New York'.

" I'll stako twenty-fivo cents I can," responded the student. ' Well, here's 2.")," continued Sweat, " put up your money.

In a moment be mado u lea) aud the next moment he fell crash into the tub ol eggs ami rested Ins teet on the bottom, breaking nearly all tho eggs iu the tub. "Thero," exclaimed Sweat, iu a fury l of delight, "you've lost; 1 knew you j couldn't do it," not thinking iu his do- light of winning, of anything but that. " Well," replied tho student us ho ooolly turned and went out of the market, " thero's your 2.1 cents." It was a long time before Kbcnezcr recovered from tho effect of that joke. The Diuifrcrs of the Alps. ACOIUIFSI'OND KNT from Switzcr land writes of recent fatal disasters in tho vicinity of Mont Blaiio. "A gentleman with his bride and lady friend mado tho ascension to tho Grands Millets, which is six thousand fivo bun drct feet abovo this Valley of Chamounix. The day was so fino that when there, urged by tho ladies, whom, with a guido, ho left behind him, ho started to make the ascension of Mont. Blanc. Shortly after ho left them, becoming cold all three went out for a walk, tied together as they nro for greater security in tho mountain excursions. Walking upon tho ico and snow crusts tho guide offered his arm to the wife, who had hardly ac cepted it when owing either to tho soft ening of tho crust by the heat , or crack ing from tho weight on tho formation of a crcvasso, both the guido and wife dis appeared, tho friend only escaped their fate by tho breaking of tho rope. Bis appearini; thus instantly in a place which did not seem to bo dangerous they have never been sceu nor found, though eight guides, at tho risk of their lives went down into tho crevasse sixty feet in fact, made attempts until tho government for bade any more as tho lives of others were periled for those that had been lost. Tho lady who was left, screamed and re mained on tho spot till tho gentleman re turned to find that ho bad lost . wilb and brido in the enjoyment of full health only half an hour previously. Such arc tho dangers of ascending Mont Blanc, where no amount of foresight and experience can fortell the accidents which may hap pen at any time with loss of life to some or all of those engaged. " Other accidents have happened in deed every year one or more persons lose their lives upon the mountains. Captain Arkwright and four guides were lost in IKliii. A brido in going across the Tote Foirc one of the direct routes to Mar tiny slipped from her horse unknown to the guide who was leading him, and falling down a steep precipice was never found. An American who sat next me Bt table iravc un account of crossing the (j lacier des Boissons, where tho glacier having changed so much since the guido had been thero necessitated leaving him constantly to go ahead and discover the way that might bo tho safest. While ho was gone some five or ten minutes at a time if anything had happened to tho guido the gentleman must have been lost, for ho had neither tools for making or assisting his way, nor experience." The Seu Captain's Htinse. 1)E()1'LE who have built houses for themselves and in tho never-varying experience of all, overrun the contractor's estimate, may find some consolation in the fact that there was one man who had his house built exactly as he ordered it and didn't alter a line of bis original plan, ! or overrun tho original contract price. This was a peppery old sea captain, who sketched out his own plans, being something of a draughtsman, of bis mod est, two-story, green-blinded wooden man sion, mid summoned his carpenter, and demanded what he would charge to build a house for him exactly after that plan, to be dono in six months. ' But, captain," said tho kuight of tho fore-piano, " there are no " " Bon't but me," exploded the captain ; " I want the house just according to my plan." " Certainly." said Shaving; "but you will let mo put. it in " " Not one single thing," ;' I pay you to build tho house exactly as I have drawn the plan ; I won't have anything put in ; obey orders if you break owners." " Very well, be it so," said Shavings, rather nettled, and the price was fixed for a dwelling, exactly accordingly to plan, to bo finished in six mouths' time, ami the captain sailed away. Iu bis return home lie was waited on bv tho builder, and the new mansion visited. Its exterior was I quite correct; pretty green blinds neat j door with trellis, entry, and rooms.
