Uoclo Tom w taking off his over. coat, by tho blazing fire in tbe sitting room, rod Hotty's motber was hel ping biiu, and making a great fu8 o- rcr him ; so Hetty wont into tho kitchen, and buxiod nornelf in dialling tbo hot 8nu$age9, and flaky biscuits and (intrant ten, and pulling thorn on tho table LoiiJo tho bright green picklua, goklon honey ami erituaon jolly, whioh wero already watiting to furnish tho wenry trawler a suppor.' It struck Unci Tom, whllo they sot nt tho table, that thoro war a gtnvo turn to tho cornori of bia fa vorito Hetty's rod mouth, and a sad loook in her syoi, which wero not thcro at liia but visit, and he missed her bright, joyoua ways,' exceedingly. And after supper he noticed that, whilo they all chatted bo merrily, Ilt-t ty sut silently knitting and gnz :n ihDhtfu!ly into the tiro. Now L' ntlo Tom loved Ifclly so much that he eoul l not be very fl ippy bimscll whi!o nho was sod, 60 his iir.:t thouLt to find out the trouble, that ho mi-ht apply tho romerly. He said nothing that oight, but the next morniug ho was standing n lono by the sitting-room firo when Hetty nrept the hoarth, and as she finishsd, ho put hh hand under hor dimplod chin, nnd raUiog her Nwect fa"0 ftuid, kindly : "''fit, is llio uiatler with oew oalf the diflleulty. Later la the evening Wallace Cur tis camo la, and then unele saw tbe liphtootuo to Hetty's eves, and iho bloom to her cheeks, spits of the half frightened (,'taco he caBt at hir mother. He glsocod at his sister too, and saw that sho sat upright as a post as etero and erim ns she al ways looked when sho was awfully displeased ; so bo concluded ha knew the other half too. . . He saw fletty jerk hr hand away from Squire Parker, wbort the risi- tors dipartcd, ond,taadio(j purposely between bis irate sister and the youn ger ones, be saw Wallace Curtis take the same littlo hand and raise it to bis lips m tbo shadow. . .And after they were gone, be saw that Hetty kept the) other little band olaspod over the one which bad re oeived tbe carets,' as t if sho would keep tbe sweet impress, there as long as aha eonld, ? , . . '. Uncle Tom ba4 half aa idea (bat after aba bad shortly dismissed Hetty to bod, his sister Maria tuoaot to coo- suit bin rogardiog the afTatra. But sister Maria knew soft-hearted Uncle Tom too well for that. Hoaidea, aba was provoked at him for not telling her more about bis own iff airs.

Next dsy ho watched for another chanco to speak with Hetty, and aa ho stood beside hor nt tho parlor win dowi Squire Tarkor parsed by. Pee ing Hetty, ho Dindo a smirking bow which tho only answered by a cold nod, and then Uoele Tom aalcod : " Well, Ilotty, girl, which is it to bo r With a look which ahowed tho tin ileratood him, Hetty pasaionatoly so awered : " It hhall . bo old Parker !" "What is tho objection to young Cuitm V aakod Uncle Tom. ' llo's poor," re plied Hetty. " And Sqnit o I'arkcr ia rich, ia he ?" " Yea ; and fifty years oM, nnd as ugly oa sin, as you have men your olf.'' " And mother approves Squiro Tar kor ?" pursued Uncle Tom. " Yos, Oh, uncle, what shill I do ? They have determined that I shill niarry him at Christmas, and that is only a week off, What (.hall wo do, Undo Tom V " Well perhaps wo will soo what can be dono," Bnld Undo Tom slow ly. " Keen quiet, Hetty, nnd if I can help you, I Will." Hetty gate him a tbnnkful glance. for her mother coming In, sho darol do no moro. lut she niched ns sho thought that only money could help bor, and Unelo Tom probably had notie to apare. Uuelo Tom's sympathy did not, in- deed, seem likely to do much g.iod, for tho day before Christmas came. nod he had never even said another word lo Hetty,- .Early in tho tuorn. In uuelo went over tj llm villain lie met Wulluce Curtis, nnd told him that Hotly wanted him to eomo out io tho nfiornoon and tako her sleigh riding. Walluce looked very much snrpri:;. ed, for Hetty hud never tnndo sueli a i i quojt of him before ; but he prom ised lo cotno, and then Unelo Tom weut homo. At three o'clock, accordingly, tin diuvo Wul.ucc, in a Lutidnumo sluigh, with two stroni? boy horses. Hetty oould not (jiiito conceal hor surprise, at which Wallace looked .much puz zled, Lmtonlv rcneatod his invitation to go out ridin;'. Hotty gave n startled glunca at her! mother. That Iu ly promptly rpoke up. "Hetty connot yo out this after on." lloth tho young folki' ciunlcnancc? 'I, but Uncle Tom put in a word : Oh, yes ; let her go, Marin. I .uld liko to go with them myself." " Vciy well, if yon po, I havo no jjoolions," suid Hetty's mother. And Hetty said : "I daro say wc mnko room for three." id Wallaeo thus urged, could nelp saying : "Thoio nro two im my sleigh," though ho did k very woll pleased with tho 'meat. on your prettiest d ma,'' whis- nclo Tom, as Ilotty passed poing to dress ; and Hetty ifly yet willingly obeyed, a tkey diove off, Uoclo Tom .tetty occupied the back scat, and Wallace tho front, at which sister Maria looked well pleased. Hut hor expression would hare changod had she seeo them just after they left the town, for then Undo Tom said : "Mr. Curtis, I havo a fancy for try. ing your team. I can handlo n horse if I km a city time. IMcase change scats, won't you V ' Wallace, nothing loth,' immediately d)d so, looking very tuuch delighted with tho change. It was astonishing to see how deeply Undo Tom instant ly became absorbed ia those horses, sad as for the lovers, they really were so absorbed la each other that they did not evon notice, which way Unolo Tom was driving, until ho stopped at t lame white gate, loading up a snowy lane to a pretty farm-bouto. Then Hetty asked : ' ' ; , " Why, Uncle Tom, where aro you ' " Going to take yon in here to see little place I bought to-day," answer ed Unelo Tom, springing out, and throwing Curt Is tho lines to drive thro the gats., t , " Wby, this is rrestoa'iplaoo !''s- olaimed Wallace. ii 'Xwai.

"Well, if you are not, yon soon will he,'' siid Uatlo Tom; 'Tor the parson will bo here iu t'"u minutes.

Wo an swer If there aro no circumstances in his own or the young woman's sit uation whioh render a spot ly mar risgo espoolully desirable he will do well to " bide a boo.'' Thoro is bat one logimato way for a clerk to sH oure a largo income, via : to torve b,b employers with such faithfulness, seal, rigor and carne-'toess, thut his merits cannot be overlooked or go unreward ed. Some employers are more liboral, and quicker to take a hint than oth ers, but there is a point wheie the dul lest will appreciate the services of an indefatigable clerk, o muy be earn ing f 2,600 a year bo for o be is raited to 11,500, but if he places no limit ou hia labor he will certainly find his re ward. We know a man who entered service at $1,000 a year and earned 3,000 for bit employers a the start. Ho was advanced to $1,200, and thee to 81,500, then to $1,800, tod so" on op to (3,000 but his real and success kept lpog way ahead of this gain In bis pay, and the day be drew 13,000 be was really earning at least $10,009 per annum. , Ho now draws' 93,000 per annum, besides an iuterest Iu the bus! nets. Silver begins to show among his locks, but bo is as untiring and faithful as ever. It require patieac to realise tbe effect of. such service, bat we'uevor knew it ie Hall 1 .tbe Inrbrliitca. Of those individuals known as ine briates, or dipsnmsnincs, there are un fortunately, n number in tho world, bo'.h men and women. Tho word dip somaniac, thotmh in popular no. does not mrreetly express what i mount to he understood. It ia derived from the Creek words aik'n;fvini " to thirst,'' and "mildness Kelptoma nia signifies mania for theft, and dip anmanla rhmld -i;rtiify a mnnia fr thirst, which is ehvi malr tho reverse of what Is intended. In no scum do these persous diink bccnuo they m e thirsty ns ths na'.ivo remnrked, " J .1a . .1.. .1. J..:.. I. I 1 t n 'f u" iirmtt mr uiiiikpc ; I ariliK lor drnnkee." A ninro appropriate mine for them would be that of I'loi hnina nines, sinco what thoy htronulouslj desire and restlessly seek is tbo sense, of intoxication in its various alajc, and lo scotire this they will swallow mift anything laudanum, spirits of wine, tinelure of hemp, etc., provided it is capable of producing that condi tion ; they oravo for tho oxcitcmeut the pleasure which they feol in it, and above all, for tho train of happy thought which it acts up. Theso unfortunates may bo roughly divided into two classes. First, wo have tho hobittlal tipplers. TIicko be ttiu early In tho morning. A man commences with brandy uulanlawa tcr, or pn!o ale; a woman with wine, chloiie ether, lavender drops, otc., and thoy continuo ut this kind of game all day.
