FITZ HUMES' LITTLE THICK.
liTll. AUGUSTUS FITZ-IIUMES
JX sat ia his luxurious bachelor estab-
lishrucut on 13 street, and pondorod
deeply. The Bubject of bis cogitations
was a wifo, or, rather, how to get ono.
Thoro were enough young ladies who
would bo clad to bloss their luckv Btars
for tho privilege of becoming mistress
of his home, ns ho well know ; but he
also felt tolerably well assured tho homo
was all they cared lor. i or tho fortune
they would wed its ownor.
" Deuce take tho money 1" ho exclaim
ed. " I wish I'd never had a cent, and
then but botheration ! thon I should
have been too poor to marry, any way.
Why couldn't I have just wealth enough
lor all my wants, and nothing more I I'll
foil them, though, tho mean udvon
turcsscs !" j
A furious pull of the bell-cord brought
tho housekeeper to the room in a hurrv.
" Pack up your traps, Mrs. Ashficld,"
no exclaimed, abruptly ; " lor 1 am goin
to close tho house."
It was evidcut that ho had como to
somo conclusion.
" Shut up tho house, Mr. Filz-IIumes !"
ejaculated tho housekeoper, almost be
lieving she had lost her reason. " Whv
such a thing has not occurred sinco your
lamented undo took possession hve-and-forty
years ago !"
" That makes no difference, ma'am j
I'm master hero now, and I shall close it
for the present. Meanwhile your pay
can sua go on, and mat or such domestics
as you consider indispensable. Have you
no relatives you wish to visit ?" ho in
quired. That settled it. The profforof continued
pay removed Mrs. Ashfiold's scruples
quite effectually. Sho then remembered
she had frionds she had not seen for years.
Three days later, Mr. Augustus Fitz
Humcs was safely domiciled in a quiet
boarding-house, and shortly afterwards
ho began to sell his diamond rings, and
seals, and others paraphernalia of fashion
able life, as well as dress himself in plain
er clothes. A rumor that his property
had all been lost through an unlucky
speculation was soon afloat.
Ho lost friends rapidly. By twos and
threes they ceased to know him as ho
met them on the street. Ho only laugh
ed and snapped his fingers at thorn bo
hind their backs. Had his adversity
been real ho would not have felt like
laughing.
Then came the time when this circle
of acquaintance got narrowed down to
th ree. But three of his former friends
still clung to him, true in adversity. It
is no wonder that ho grew misauthrophie.
Out upon the street, one day, ho met
a carriage containing some of his former
acquaintances, who had been absent from
the city since he olosed his house. He
thought they would not notice, him:
but each inmate of the carriugo bowed
politely as of old.
" They have not hoard the news," ho
muttered, cynically.
He was mistaken ; that night tho own
er of the carriage camo to see him.
" lluthcr closo quarters, my friend,"
ho said, as ho took a calm survoy of Au
gustus's not very pretentious surrouud
ings. "Pretty close that's a fact." said Mr.
Fitz-Humcs, decidedly. " But since I've
lost my property of which I suppose you
haven't heurd, I have become quite
economical."
" But I have heard," cried his auditor,
abruptly, " and that is why I camo. 1
knew you needed friends now, if ever,
and tho fact is well my daughter, sir
I mean, I camo too offer tho position of
head clerk in my counting-room. Will
you accept of it ?"
" Ahem ! Well, I will think of it. But
it is a long way from my boarding
house." " Deuce take your boarding-house 1
You oun board in my family as a well,
as a sort of guest, you know."
Augustus looked him over closely,
llcubon Stnnely was a wealthy man very
wealthy, he was culled and in his face
thcro was nothing to warrant the sus
picion that ho had learned Augustus' se
cret, and wished to curry favor, aiding
him whilo under an appurent cloud ; so
thut idea was speedily dismissed. Of
course, ho quickly thanked him, and ac
cepted. Onco cosily snugged in the Staucly
mansion, it was not long before ho won
dered why ho had not uoticed Nellie
Staucly before. She did not seem to feel
above him, notwithstanding the wide
difference in their positions, and treated
hiui as ' cordiully more cordially, ho
thought than before tho chunge iu his
fortunes. Ho would not have been hu
man had he not learned to love her.
Tho climax came when sh gave a
grand purty. Then, boforo tho elite of
the city, she did not hesitate to receive
attentions from him, on which but one
construction could bo pluced. He thought
her quite u heroine, and asked uo further
proof thut she' could love him.
The next forenoon they met in her
father's library, where he had waited to
see her.
" Nellie," he suid, as the usual courte
sies hud been exchanged, " I come to you
this morning to luurn my fute. I know
tho differences iu our positions, and
would not urge you only let your heurt
decide. My heart I lay before you."
l)c ftimcs, New Bloomftclir, JJcu
She blushed prettily, and seemed con
fused for a moment, then sho gave him
hor hand.
" I have loved you, 0 so long !" sho
said. " And I feared that you would
never lovo me. You wcro so jealous bo
foro you lost your wealth that all womon
wero mere adventuresses. I was heartily
glad when papa said you had lost it, and
j '
" You sent him to negotiate with me 1"
cried Augustus, finishing tho sentence
intuitively, and giving it labial empha
sis. " I loved you so !" sho murmured, dc
prccatingly. " I do not doubt it, dearest." And
Mr. Augustus Fitz-Ilutncs believed him
self tho happiest of men.
They wcro married. Tho wedding was1
very unpretentious, as became tho bride
groom's straightened circumstances ; and
ho was iu constant ecstacy as ho thought
of her surprise when ho should tell her
that his fortuno still remained. Ho sent
for Mrs. Ashfleld to como and re-open
tho house and to put it in coudition to re
ceive its mistress. Meantime they tar
ried at her father's.
" Augustus," said his wifo ono day,
" I huvo a favor to ask of you will you
grant it 1"
" I will if in my power, darling !" he
exclaimed.
" Well, poor papa is rather short of
money won't you lend him ten or fif
teen thousand dollars?"
Me! Why, you know "
" Oh 1 I know that you have been
pretending," was tho quick reply. " But
then it wasn't so you never lost your
money."
Augustus Fitz-Humcs was dumb with
astonishment and chagrin.
" How did you find that out?" he
gasped.
" I knew it all tho time. When I heard
that you wcro penniless, papa went direct
ly to your banker and learned the con
trary. I think we managed shrewdly."
" I think you did," cried her husband,
desperately; " but do you think I'll cn-
auro ltr
" How can you help yourself? Wo
are married now will you apply for a
uivorce i
"No, I won't!"
" Then what will you do ?"
" Answer mo ono question : do you
really love me ?"
" Yes, I do."
" Well, if you love me, wo will drop
tho subject."
Plain Talk to Girls.
T7"OUIt every-day toilet is a part of
JL your character. A girl who looks
like a " fury" or a sloven in the morning,
is not to be trusted, however finely she
may look in the evening. No matter
how humble your room is, there are eight
things it should contain, viz : A mirror,
wash-stand, soap, towel, hair, nail, and
tooth-brushes.
Theso are just as essential as vour
breakfast, before which you should make
good use of them. Parents who fail to
provide their children with such applian
ces, not only make a great mistake, but
commit c sin of omission. Look tidy in
the morning, and after dinner work is
over, improve your toilet. Make it a
rule of your daily life to " dress up'' in
the afternoon. Your dress may or need
not be anything better than calico ; but
with a ribbon, or flower, or somo bit of
ornament, you can have an air of self
respect and satisfaction, that invariubly
comes with being well-dressed. A girl
with fine sensibilities cannot help feeling
embarrassed and awkward in a ragged,
dirty dress, with her hair unkempt, if a
stranger or neighbor comes in. More
over, your self respect should domond tho
decent appareling of your body. You
should make it a point to look as well as
you can even if you know nobody will
see you but yourself.
Found his Father.
" Tl jTY ROM. Onn Vflll fiilrn n trnnlr
fur me up to the hotel ?" said
a passenger stepping from a boat on the
levee, to a ragged looking youngstor. who
sat balancing himself on the trail of a
dray.
" Your son ?" cried the boy, eyeing
him from head to foot. Well, I'll be dod
drabbod if I ain't in luck. Here I've
been tryin' to find out my daddy for
three years, and all of a sudden up comes
the old boss himself, and knows me right
off. How are you?" stretching out a
muddy looking paw.
The traveller was non-nluued. Bo.
tween a smile and a frown, ho inquired :
" What is your name, sir?"
" Jly name r ho you don t know ? Well
it's nothin' for people in these parts to
have so many children that they don't
know their names. My numo's Bill, but
somo folks call me William for short.
What the other pirt is, I reckon you
know. If you dou't you mus' ax tho ole
'oman."
And shouldering the trunk, he uiurch
ed off to-wards the hotel, mumbling to
himself :
"Well, this is a go. The olo gemman
come homo at lust, flood clothes, big
trunk, must have the tin. Well, I am
in luck."
Farmer Speedwell's TutMing.
flA) JOHN SPEEDWELL was a
J well-to-do farmer, living in tho
westorn part ot Vermont.
His family consisted of his wifo Phebo,
two sons, Amos and Jim, and two daugh
tors, llclianco and Prudence, which
names were very appropriate, as tho elder
daughter was a model of self rclianco,
nna the other was prudonce personified
Tho cider daughter, llclianco, was en
gaged to bo married to a neighboring
farmer, a young man, whoso mother had
just died.
In those days thcro was no butcher to
bring fresh meat every day, as at tho
present timo ; but people had to rely on
their own resources for dinner : and. on
tho morning which opens our story, old
parmcr opcedwell had proposed to havo
somo hasty pudding and milk for dinner:
aud, as his word was law it was agreed
upon.
After breakfast. Farmer Snecdwoll and
his sons wont to thoir haying, Dame
Speedwell to her work, and tho girls bu
sied tnomseives about their duties.
At tho proper time Dame Speedwoll
made tho pudding, taking care to salt it
well, as sho knew her husband liked a
good deal of salt, hung it over a slow
fire, and went up stairs to put tho
winter clothing in camphor.
It was only a few moments before lie
liance came into the kitchen, when, see
ing tho pudding cooking, and knowing
that her mother was apt to forget to salt
it, sho put in a handful of saltand stirred
it well, so that her father would have
no occasion to find fault.
Soon after, Prudence passod through
the kitchen, and reasoning the same as
llclianco had, she also added a handful
of salt, and went about her work again.
Before long, Amos entered to get a
jug of molasses and water, and soon after
T 1a. . .
Jim, eacu ot whom put in a handful
moro salt, as they had no more faith
in their mother's remembering it than
llclianco or Prudence had.
Just beforo dinner, Farmer Speedwell
returned from work, and when ho saw
the pudding cooking, said: . .
" That pudding smells all-fired good,
but I'll bet a sixpenco wife's forgot to
salt it, as sho always docs : I used to de
pond on llclianco, till she got her head
chock full of that young man o' hern.
but I can't reckon on her thinkin' on't
now ; and, as to Prudcnoe, she is so cau
tious she would not dare to salt it any-
how ; so I guess I'll salt it myself," and
suiting the action to the word, he put in
a handful and a half of salt, stirring it
well in.
Twelve o'clock came, and they wore all
seated at tho tablo, when Farmer Speed
well helped himsolf to a good share of
the pudding, and took a mouthlul : but
no sooner had ho tasted it than ho leaped
up, exclaiming : w no salted this ere
puddin'?" then recollecting that ho
salted it himself, ho left tho room, say
ing : " I should think that thundering
colt was tryipg to kick through the barn
floor."
The next who tried it was Amos, who
leaped up, also, and left " to see what
tho colt was doing!"
Thon followed llclianco and Prudence
ind Jim, who each and all escaped on
some pretenco, leaving vame speedwell
in amazement, to realize the truth of
tho old adage : " The proof of the pud
ding is in the eating."
A Few Hints.
Some gentle hints On manners are giv
en by an exchange, from which we select
a few :
Dou't be disturbed if you find the best
seats in a railroad car taken. As no ono
knew you were coming, of courso they
did not not reserve one.
When a car is crowded, don't fill a seat
with your bundles. True politeness is
not amiss even amidst the confusion and
bustlo of a publie conveyance.
If an open window proves uncomfort
able to auothcr, you will close it.
Whispering in church is impolite.
Besides showing disrespect to the speaker,
it is extremely annoying to those who
wish to hoar. Coughing should be avoid
ed as much as possible Sleeping, with
its frequent accompaniment, snoring, had
better be done at home.
Violent perfumes, especially those con
tniuing musk, are offensive to many peo
ple, aud to somo positively distressing.
Don't scent yoursolf when going to any
crowded assembly. Bcecher soys, "there
is no smell so universally pleasing as no
smell."
Female Masons.
A discussion in a Boston paper con
cerning tho existence of fomalo Freema
sons brings out a statement from a cor
respondent, who says he is " well acquaint
ed with two1 ladies who huvo received
eight degrees, und who are tho 'shining
lights' of a flourishing lodge in Vermont
The circuuistunces of their udmission are
very interesting, and closely related to
certain well-known adventures in our late
war, when theso two heroines followed,
for over a year, the fortunes of one of
tho Vermont regiments. I wns present
myself at tho initiation of one of theso
ladies, who wont through tho ordeal in a
manner worthy of tho titlo sho has earn
ed. It was the same as that undergone
by men, except iu a few particulars of
dress, which was slightly altered In re
spect to her sex."
Tho Troubles of ft Traveller.
Ai'EIl tho Lowell medicine man, has
. a traveller of a humorous and go
nial disposition, whom we will call Clark.
Ho has recently beon in this section,
is a good follow, of thorough business
character, and is popular in his trade,
which lies largely in Georgia .and the
Carolinas. We tako advantago of our
acquaintance with him to toll tho follow
ing good joko at his expense :
Clark had arrived in Columbia, S. C,
from down tho Congarco, after a hot and
dusty drive from New York, and stopped
at Gorman's House, where Budds, the
gentlemanly book-keeper, gave him a
good room, as ho had entertained tho
saino guest oft before.
After supper tho two, both old smokers
emptied pipe after pipo chatting of old
times and absent friends, until tho house
was still. Then Clark retired. Like a
prudont man, as was his accustomed hab
it, after disrobing, he mado a close ex
amination of his room, its fastenings and
approaches. Armoire and closet were
examined : then a side door which might
secrete some burglarious cuss or sneak
thief. Holding the light over his head
he cautiously peorcd in, and finally enter
ed, his socks falling noiselessly upon the
soft carpet. Ho had hardly reached tho
centre of the room when he espied the
daintiest and nicest of feminine apparel.
He was withdrawing, and he hoped un
pcrceived, when a lone figure rose up in
bed and gave a most terrific scream. Poor
Clark ! ho dropped his light, and, hur
rying back to his room, plunged into bed.
The screams continued, when a bright
thought struck him. He rung his bell,
violently tho lady did her's. Up camo
tho porter and chambermaid. " There's
a woman in this room 1" " there's a
man in my room !" screamed both at once.
The porter, glancing nt the side door ajar
saw through tho difficulty and explained
to Clark, who very happily replied;
" Very well ; I see tho lady is a somnam
bulist, and has been walking in her sleep.
It is all right, vou mav close that dnnr"
" Dat may be," said the porter, grinning,
dud now ae aenoei cum dat ar candle I
left vou in her room 1" Clark w hn nna
caught, and flung a boot at the porter
with clear out there I want to go to
sleep !" Ex.
The Power of Imagination.
A physician relates a remarkable case
of the influence of imagination upon the
human body.
Ho was called to see a lady who was
afflicted with a cold, and, of 'course, a
sore throat. He wrote a prescription and
gave it the lady, with the following in
struction :
" Madam, put this in a tumbler full of
water, and take a tablespoon f'ul every
two hours."
The next day, he called to see her.
when she informed him that a tablespoon
ful of tho medicine had made her so sick
that sho had reduced the dose to a tea-
spoonful, but that she was much better.
lie paid her a third visit, when she in
formed him she was still improving, but
that the medicine was so powerful that a
teaspoonful produced vomiting, and she
had beon compelled to stop taking it.
The doctor said :
" I suppose it is nearly all gone."
The lady said the tumbler was on the
mantel, and he could see how much was
left. The doctor says :
" I looked at the tumbler, and I'm
d d if I didn't find that sho had put my
paper on which my prescription was
written, in the tumbler, 'and had been
taking nothing but water !"
JSrA brave offioer. who had henn
wounded with a musket-ball in or near
his knee, was stretched upon tho dissect
ing table of a surgeon, who with an as
sistant began to probe and out in that
region of his anatomy. After a whilo

asked the indignant patient ; " I've got

his hand in his waistcoat, and taking it.
out. " I took it out myself," he added ;
" didn't I mention it to you ? I meant
to."
A farmer, who wished to invest
the accumulation of his industry in Uni
ted States securities, went to a broker's
office to obtain treasury notes. The clerk
inquired :
" W hat denomination will vou have
them, sir t"
Having never heard that word used
except to distinguish religious sects, the
farmer after a little deliberation, replied :
" Well, you may give me part in Old
School I'rcsbytoriun, to pleuso the old
lady, but give me the heft on't in Free
Will Baptist."
