Gtlje hues, Nctu Blaomftel l)a, The rest of their journey wae accomplish ed without any accident, though not with out delayn, and It was quite dark before, weary and mud-bespattered, they reached the town where they woro to part and go their separate ways. They nad loft the stage, and Miss Tucker stood on the piazza of the public bouse, giving some directions .about her luggago, .when ..Aliddloton ap proached and, taking oil his hat, addressed her." ' v . "Pardon me," ho 'siii'd,'' '' it I use too great a freedom. You do not know me, but I have seen too many proofs of your goodness to-day not to feel that I know you. I see that you have kindly taken under your protection the poor woman and child who rodo with us, and I am anxious to share with you the pleasure of assisting her. " Here is a small sum of money, which you will oblige me by sending for her use, and a card with my address. If at any time I can be of further service to her, you will do me a favor by letting me know." The young woman took the card and the crisp bank-note that accompanied it, and expressed her thanks with a dash of em .barrassment and timidity which she had not before shown, but which Harvey thought became her wonderfully. "There is one more favor," he added, with a little hesitation, which I would like to ask of you. Would you object to give me your address ?" " Not at all," she answered frankly ; and gave it accordingly.' Ho thanked her grave ly, bowed again as he might have done to a duchess, and walked away. The next day he was in hisoilico at Boston, and she at her busy, responsible post in a great Lowell mill. For just one week Middloton turned things over in his mind. The result was a resolution and a letter. The last was ad dressed to Miss Olympia Tucker and con tained a distinct and straight-forward pro posal of marriage. Here-called himself modestly to the lady's recollection, referring to the journey they had taken together, and declared that the impression which she had that day made upon him was such that lie ardently wished to journey through life in her company. ' He told her who and what he was, his family,' business, and fortune; inclosed the addresses of several persons through whom sbo might, if she wished, satisfy herself in regard to his character and standing! and concluded with an earnest request to visit-her. The letter, notwithstanding its abrupt and rather business-like character, was, gentlemanly and respectful, and ono which almost aiiy lady might feel flattered to receive. When it was sent he waited in a veritable fever of impatience for the reply. A wook, almost another, elapsed before it came. He tore it open : his suit was rejected ! The keenness of his disappointment al most surprised himself. '. He had hardly been aware how deeply his feelings and his fancy were interested in this woman, whom be had known but for one day, and who had begun by offending his social preju dices and his fastidiousness almost' to the point of disgust. He took up her' letter and read it again. It was written some what stiffly, as if it had cost its author a good deal of trouble, and now and then a word might not be spelled quite correctly ; but it was a modest, womanly letter, digni lied from its very simplicity. She thanked him sincerely for the compliment of hi preference, though she felt compelled to decline his proposal. She had not done to hastily ; she had considered his offer well. She did not affect to conceal from him that it had strong temptations for her poor, hard-working girl, struggling single-hand' ed with the world. But she did not think it would be right for her to purchase ease and enjoyment for herself in that way. She was not educated for the circle to which he belonged, and if she were to take him at his perhaps hasty word he might regret it some day, . Then, too, he had a right to the love as well as the respect of the woman whom he should make his wife and she could not pretend to give that to a man whom a week ago she had never thought of in any such relation. She should always feci grateful to bin) for the honor lie had intended her, and she wished him all manner of , prosperity and happiness with some woman ' who would be better suited to him than she. . Harvey read th is letter over a great many times. He thought he saw that It waa not so much any positive , objection , to himself which had decided her rejection or Ins suit as the womanly shrinking from so hasty an Arrangement with one whom she knew so little. The naive confession that bis offer had been a temptation touched him. Her life wa laborious and full of care ; there could be little brightness in it. . Yet when lie had thought of all she had done and been to others, and recalled the gay courage with which she faced her lot, the cheerful helpfulness, the gentle kindness that never failed, his heart swelled with tender admi ration. . "She U the only woman on earth for roe," be ecl aimed, "and by Heaven, I will win her yetl" . And he set himself to do so a earnestly, though not quite to precipitately, as before. He went to Lowell every week till midsum mer, and then he astonished Lis numerous friends, including his sisters-in-law, by the announcement of his marriage. ' Curiosity ran high iu regard to bis choice, but It was lmflledfora time, for be took bis bride abroad Immediately and they were absont three years. You may woll believe that three years were not wasted by a woman of Lymp Tucker's energy and ability. She had shrewdness, tact, and readiness of Im itation. . She only needed good models to shape herself Into a lady. Indeed, all the essential eloments of ' a lady's character were in her to begin, with, and . education, drew them out. Accordingly she is at this present writing not only; Jjje handsomest woman 5f my acquaintance,' but Very near ly the most elegant. She does not laugh so loud as she did, but her smile is dazzling. Her voice Is pitched somewhat 'lower,' but it has lost nono of its hcartinoss. She has leaning toward magnificence in her dross, but is quoted as a model of good taste. She is the pride of her husband, who has been growing younger all these ten years, and the fond mother of three splendid boys. Her sisters-in-law refer to her as a kind of oracle in all questions of taste and good breeding. She is a gracious and hospitable hostess in a luxurious home, and a living illustration of the fact that there is no place a Yankee girl will' not fit as if she were born to It, in spite of the most unfa vorable circumstances. A scrub-headed boy having been brought boforo the Court as a witness, the following amusing colloquy ensued : "Whore do you live?" inquired the judge. "Livo with my mother." "Where does your mother live?" " She lives with father." ' " Where does he live ?" " He lives with the old folks." "Where do they live?" said the judge, getting very red, as an audible titter goes around the court-room. i. " They live at home " ' " Where in the thunder is thoir home?" "That's where I'm from," said the boy, sticking his tongue in the corner of his his cheek and slowly closing one eye on the judge, i ...! . .

This patient, a well known person in the mercantile world, had a ter rible fear of dying, and besought Cherest to pay him a visit while in bed every morn. ing at 9 o'clock, his fee being forty francs per visit. Cherest consented, and for sev eral years paid his daily visits, always re ceiving his forty-franc piece. During the last years of bis life this patient, a very old man, became really ill and exacted, first two visits a day, then three and then four, always paying his forty francs for each.

Enigma No. 2 LosAnoei.es. A Woman Banker. T UIE anecdote that lately appeared con cerning Miss Burdett Coutts has called to mind some reminiscences of her, and some facts concerning her bank that may be of general interest just now. The banking house of Coutts fc Co., is the repository pf all the old English aristoc racy, who, from the Queen down mostly bank there. There are rich old dowagers, maiden ladies and honorables, the real old English baronet with his estate in the rich pasture of Berkshire and Kent and his " shooting box" up in the north; the states man, peer, and foreign ruler they all in trust the house of Coutts & Co., with their funds. The Queen has banked there for tears, and, indeed, the immense wealth of Miss Coutts and of the bank is totally , due to the patronage Of royalty bestowed upon her ancestors the founders of the bank. Her " pass-book" is a most handsome book, inlaid with gold, bearing the royal arms, in which all the entries are made in the handsomest and most ornamental of 'writ ing. Indeed, it is one man's work to at tend to Her Majesty's account, which is superintended by the " Keeper of the Privy Purse." The ' emperor Napoleon, too much as he would like us to believe to the contrary, kept an account there, and the house prior to the fall of the 1 Empire, was continually making purchases of English Consols on his order. There is no doubt the Napoleon bod a short time ago a con siderable sum invested in these English securities as have most of the European potentates at the present time. ' Another great feature with the house of Coutts & Co., is the large deposit of jew elry, family paper, titles and other articles of value that are left in their hands for safe keeping. There are hundreds of large, heavy family cases in their vaults, and during the season at London, ladies go daily " to the bank" (they like to make use of the phrase) to take ont some valuable ornament for the opera, etc.; or to return some after use. There are clerks whose especial duty It Is to see to the wants of these ladies. '' The great success of Coutt's banking bouse Is due almost to accident, as you will see. ' Burdett Coutts, one of the founders, was a modest banker, on the Strand, ' Lou don, in George III.' reign, and he made it a practice, as his bank was ' situated some distance from the so called " city,' in order to keep himself "posted" on ' the financial . movements going on there, to dine with some, of the leading city bankers and bank managers as ofteu as opportunity would permit. It was during one of these reunions that a bank official casually . re marked his surprise that Lord had been refused a loan of 10,000 .that day at his bank. The circumstances wan noted by the West End banker, and, the dinner over, he repaired at once to the house of the nobleman, left his card, requesting his lordship to be at his office on the following morning On business of great importance. The next morning , Lord was an nounced to Mr. Coutts, and, on his inquir ing what business had necessitated his visit, the banker at once Informed him that as a banker be bad heard that his Lordship desired a loan of 10,000, and respectfully offered him his services. ' "t ' ' ' ' . " But I can give you no security, ' Mr. Coutts," said his Lordship, as the banker commenced counting a small package of crisp bauk notes that were on hi desk, i ' Your Lordship' note of hand will be quite sufficient," gallantly responded the West End banker, 1 as be banded him a note to elgn. : -'' ' " But I do not think I shall now want as muoh a ten thousand pounds" hesitated the nobleman.-' ' ' 1 '' ' i -l That is immaterial, your Lordship," ' replied the banker. -i ' ' " "On second thought I will take the ten thousand, and as I shall only noed five thousand, you will ploase place the remain der to my credit as an opening of . an ac count with yo in my name." . .. The baker thanked his new customer, escorted him with much politeness to his carriage at the door, and then bade him " good day." 1 ' The action of the banker . was a long sighted one. It was a good investment. The balance was soon increased,' the loan returned, and tho nobleman commenced to tell the story . round at the Court of St. James of the wonderfully accommodating spirit of the West End banker. Others soon deposited their funds in his hands, and tho story was so circulated at the pal lace that the King's curiosity was aroused, and he informed the banker's patron of his desire to meet the banker. Coutts went finally. Ho was introduced to the King, and his quiet inodest manners won the favor of the court. His presence at the court created quite a sensation, for it was soon afterwards ' reported that the King had given his private finances into the keeping of ' Burdett Coutts. The rest of the court soon followed the example of tho King, and thus was secured to tho house the wealthy patronage of the aristocracy of England.' . . . Miss Burdett Coutts has, as is well known, the interests of the employees of the bank much at heart. It is a hard mat tor to get into the bank. Noblemen's sons now seek positions in the establishment, and some of the partners are noblemen. College educated men are alone taken as clerks, and then an examination is gone through, which is conducted with the same strictness as iu tho examination into the family, reputation and general recommen. dations of Die applicant, t or every va cancy there are hundreds of applicants. But when admitted the clerk lias a fine position. He will bo told, on his being ad' mittcd,that he must not wear a moustache, but simply side whiskers; and in his dress, although nothing will be said to him on the subject, every modesty will bo expected of him. This is done on account of the great dislike the. real aristocracy .of England have for the gaudy, showy fop of the mid die classes, who so often in his Ignorance and self-conceit, apes the gentleman The clerks are all supplied with dinner inside the establishment, at the present personal expense of, Miss Burdett Coutts, and they owe this good fortune (for the dinner, "lunch," as it is called, is first class) merely to accident. . , It appeai-s that on one occasion Miss Burdctts Coutts entered the bank shortly after one o'clock, and remarked to one of the partners that the bank seemed very empty. "Where are the gentlemen?" she inquired. , " Tbey have gone to lunch, as they gen. erallydo every day about this time,", an swered the partner. She expressed herself as not approving of " the gentleman" going out in all weath ers from one coffee house to another in search of a meal, and she tlieu inquired if there was no possible remedy for it. She was answered in the negative. She then asked why thep could not dine at the bank. " Extra expense," suggested the i pail- ner, whereupon Miss Burdett Coutts au thorized the providing of a meal regularly for tho gentleman and her account to be debited with the necessary e xpense. And thus it is ever with her. She is al ways on the watch for the opportunity to do some benefit with her wealth. To say that those clorks worship her and her good heart does not exaggerate their feelings of respect and love for her. ' f' Doing Well. During a class-meeting held several years since by the Methodist brethren or a Southern village, Brother Jones went among the colored portion of the congrega tion. Finding there an old man notorious for bis endeavors to serve God on the Sab bath and Satan the rest of the week, he said : " Well, Brother Dick, I'm glad to see you here. - Haven't stole any turkeys since I saw you last, Brother Dick ?" . "No, no, Brudder Jones ; no turkeys.'' "Nor any chickens, Brother Dick ?" "No, no, Brudder Jones ; no chickens." " Thank the Lord, Brother Dick t That's doing well, my Brother," said ' Brother Jones, leaving Brother Dick, ' who imme diately relieved hit over-burdened con science by saying to a near neighbor,, with an immense sigh of relief " Ef he'd a said ducks, he'd a hod me." ' , tWk lady entered a drug store and ask ed for a bottle of " Jane's Experience." The clerk informed her that Jane hadn't bottled her experience.! "Perhaps then, its Jane's expectation that you want,'! suggested a friend. "I dont think she hoe any, but perhaps its Jayne's Expeptorant you want,',' replied the clerk " and that we have."
