And Mrs. By!stone took off her elegant hat and lace shawl, and drew the Paris. kid gloves from her white jeweled fingers, while Master De Moray, the son of a Bu variangambler. wno had been killed in a disgraceful affray across u green baize covered table, turned a somerset, and bawled out: "Alt - et I glad he'a gone ? And now ma. I can have all the cake and presence myself." "And I may as well take advantage . of the Opportunity to spend a few days at Saratoga," said Mrs. lkyletnne complacent ly—and she sat down and wrote a long ietter to her absent husband,full of 'dears and 'darlings' and 'torus,' and winding up with a request for a cheek for three hundred dollars.

Mistone found her husband iinplacable.to all her tears and entreaties. But the life of Mrs. Mistime, on an al- lowance of so much a week, in lodgings, was quite different from the life of George Bylstone's idolized and indulged wife; and the es-ac - ress found that she bad made a fatal mistake t But it was too late to mend matters now. RESPONSZS to prayers and sermons may be good if they come in ut the right place. Not so, however, came in a response, re- cently, at the African church.

DT AItY'ILANDOLPIL "Where's Mary ?" said Mr. Good ford, severely, pausing era he seated himself at the dinner table. "Where's Mary?" echoed Mr& Good ford,stopping with uplateof sliced cacti in hers in her baud to look apprehensively down the garden path. Samantha, the thrifty eldest daugh ter of the family, shook her head. "I haven't seen her shim morning," said she. "And I really think,father," eaid Phebe Ann, the eeeotiol daughter, who taught the district school, "that you ought to look more after the girl. She's just as likely to be reading down bysthe river, or climbing the mulberry treeeote not." Mr. Goodfoill uttered a groan, and said : "She's a dreadful trial, that girl is. No more like my other children than a little Java sparrow's like a flock of black-birds. Mother, what had we better do with her ?" "Send her to hoarding-school," suggest ed Mrs. Guodford. "Send her to boarding•school," echoed the Harmer. "And have her come back stuffed full of nonsense! No, no ; I'd rather have my little gipsy Mary than a fine Isdy with fripperies only tit for a French maid:' "Well then set np: father," said Mrs. Goodford, speaking in a conciliatory fash ion. "The tea s drawed and the chicken put-pie's cooked P . n. the way you like it. Set on the beets and potatoes, Samantha bring the cold water fresh from the well, Pitebe Ann. "And"—reverently closing her eyes--"for what we are about to re ceive,may the Lord' make us truly thank ful. Amen!" The rustic and plenteous meal was hardly completed before the door opened, and the truantilaughter of the household tripped into the man. Farmer Gmdford had ,token the truth when he said that his daughter Mary was essentiAlly unlike the other daughters of the family. Saturnalia was tall and pale, slid freckled. Phebe Ann was taller, puler and a little more freckled—altogeth er, the comparative degree of her elder sister; bin Mary was slight and small, with Wady hair, cheeks like roses, and large, uhittnad-shaprd eyes, whose lashes railed their jetty brilliance at will. And just new, as she came dancing into the room, with u wreathe ut red clover and white field-dasies iu her hair, site seemed ,u brighten the whole room like sun 'bine. ••Jfary!"

"Jr. - t cuentow is coming back next week. I guess VII see what he says." Mary looked up With mischievously spaikliug eyes. •'I tan nut sick, father," said she.- -What would you consult Dr. Cheriton for ?" "Because he's got a good judgment," quid Mfr. GouiHurd solemnly. "Because ho may know of .sumo place or school, or something or other, where they su train you down into a proper behaved young woman." Samantha washed the dishes. Phebe Ann swept up the keeping room. Mrs. Goodford went to look after the - cheeses, and Mary sat in the door way and played with two frivolous minded young kittens. '•That is the way work is generally di vided in this family," said Samantha "Oh, my dear," said Mrs. Goodford, "you must remember that Mary is only a child." "She is seventeen," said Miss Phebe Ann, who was ten good years her senior. It was hardly three days afterward. when Miss Mary, surreptitiously engage.] hi picking berries in the woods, heard the trump of horses feet on the road that ran parellel with her retreat, divided from it only by a low stone wall. "It's Dr. Cheriton," said she to herself. "And father has.been talking to him about we. OU. deal', I wish I could hide." And she cswered down among the tall alder bushes that skirted the stone wall, like a matting squirrel. "I sue you. Mary," said Dr. Clieriton, laughinglydiimounting from his, horse, and throwing the rein over one arm as he came close to the fence. "a) you ?" said Mary. blushing; al though she laughed. "Then there's no use in hiding." "I should say not !" he rejoined. "Are ynu afraid of me, Mary ?" "Y•it ; a little." "Why?" "Oh, because—What did My father say? for I know ho has bean, consulting you about me," cried out the girl, lookinr earnestly into Dr. ,Cheriton's handsome bronzed face. • "lie gave me alengthy lister your back elidings and ehort•ceming," said Dr Cheriten elevating hie bmwp. "And what did yon tell hint ?" she urg ed. "0, pleas speak quickly." "I told bins, Nary, that it was bard!: ' just to judge you by the" same Standard that applies to other girls. Yon are a gipsy, little Mary—an elf--a fairy. And the only thing that is.at all likely to tame you, is—a husband. Therefore I prescrib ed matrimony." "That's all very well," said Mary, pont ing ; "but you are perfectly aware, Dr. Cheriton, that there isn't a in - an iu the villiage that I could care fur." • "Not one ?" "Not a single man, I mean. You see, Cheritou," she went on, "you are as good as a married yourself, so that I can say all these things to yo,i ; you have been engaged seven years to your cousin in Louisiana. Now there's Mr. Alilbarik,the reetor,aild you,the only two men I would marry in Propington. And he hus a wife ; and you—"• ' "Have not. That is exactly the state of the case, Mary," said Dr. Cheriton, with a grave smile. "But von will have soon ?" "Yes, if I can induce the young lady whom I love to take the same view of the matter as myself." "The Louisiana lady?" "The Louisiana lady, as you call her, Was married too neighboring planter last week. lam rather glad of it; for the same girl that suited a boy of twenty. would hardly please the more matured tastes of wenty•eight. And besides I have been learning to love a certain hu man wild-flower called Mary." • "Me, Dr. Cheriton ?" "Yes, you. Just as you are—wild, piq uant, uneophistieated—with all your faults, and there are plenty of them, and your virtues, too! Will you promise to be my wife ?" And Mary promised, and Dr. Cheriton Sealed the bargain on her blackberry stained lips. And so, in spite of all her faults, Mary Guudford, the farmer's un tamed daughter, made the best match in Prom ngtou. Samantha grid Phebe Ann, mature and imgathered roses that they were, declar ed that "they did't know what this world was coming tor "Does anybody know for that matter?" Flow Wild Clones arc Taken Out As soon as a herd of hcrses is discover ed, the party of hunters divide, one por tion striking entrap, while the other sets off in pursuit of the herd. The frighten. ed animals go bounding across the prairie through the prickly pear and deuv chap peril, leaving a trail which the limiters pursue at nit easy gait, until they come in sight of the herd, which scampers off as before. These tucties are kept up by the pursuers for dasys,the mustangs returning to their tirst starting point—which they are sure to do—when the camping party takes the place of the pursuers, and thus follow the herd until the poor, wearied and halt-starved creatures; with: - swollen limbs and bloodshot eyes, gives up the struggle and submit to be driven Any where. The object of the hunters lute been merely to keep close enough to 'the mustangs to prevent them gruziug. Star vation sum, brings them to terma,and the prairie monarch, with drooping crest and da-jected look, leaves his native wilds, henceforth to become the slave of • man.— This is what hunters call "walking mus tangs down."—Pleasantawn Stock Jour naL THE Gold Hill (Nev.) says : "An Irish man, a resident of this city, noted for his wit upon all occasions and also for his. Successful attacks on the tiger, was- pro ceeding home the other evening and when he had reached the Divide was st.pped by some footpads and told to 'hold up his bawds.' The robber knew he had made a large winning and got off with it, and preceeded him for the purpose of waylay-. naghim. Pat did not scare worth a cent and when F t upped quietly. askell the rob bers what they wanted. They answered, •We want your money!" Pat quietly lighting his dudeen, said: 'O, murther, but ye fellers are awful thick to-night:— 'Awful thick said one of the robbers, what do you mean ?' 'I mane,' said Pat, 'that this is the fourth. time I was stop ped since I left Virginity.' One of the men, disgusted with himself to think that others of the profession had got in.ahead of him, struck Pat on the neck and then kicked him, saying: 'Get out of here, or I'll blow the top of your head of Pat did 'get' willingly, and arrived safely ut home with $7OO in coin in his pocket." Pathos of Poverty. A Detroit newspaper tells the following story: A boy about ten years of age, leading a lively little dog, called at the central station and asked if that was the place where they shot dogs. Being an swered in the affirmative, he said, •tWell please shoot my Dan. Ile's au - awful good dog. and lie plays with the baby all day, but futher'r deut end mother's sick, and I can't raise money.- to buy ' the li cense." Then, turning to the dog, the boy . lifted him tenderly up and stroked him, saying. "Poor Dan I how Billy will cry . when I tell him you are dead f."- - - 7 Great tears rolled _down the boy's' face, and in a little while those around .him made up a purse sufficient to save his dog and a person went 'with him after a li• cense. The boy's eyes fairly sparkled at his unexpected loci, and speaking to - the dog, lie cried Out,=',‘You're saved, = Dan I you re saved; let's go right home to Billy!" THE Bowling Green (Ky.)

A Powder Mom —o Last Monday evening a Middle street man, who contemplated going gunning ' the next day, stepped into one of our stores and purchased a pound of powder, remarking that he might as' well get enough and avoid coming so often; it was done up in a neat little patitageolich the Middle street man put into Hs pocket and then went around to the grocery store where he remained until A o'clock talking politics and discussing the back Pay swindle, and then be lit his pipe and started for home, where upon his arrival he found that his 'family had all retired to rest. .After pulling off hie boots he sat down to finish his smoke; the totm eV had u soothing effect upon him, and as the light wreaths of smoke curled grace ! fully out of the open window, memory ever linsyi carried him back over the long vista, of years, he lived over . again the bright, halcyon days of . his boyhood ; he recalled to mind the old school.house, where so many happy moments bad been passed, surrounded by the playmates of his youth, many of whom have longsince passed to "that bonnie from which no traveler ever returns;" he tho't of the spacious barn on - the old homestewl,where every autumn, after the gulden corn c hild heel) gathered, the lads and lasses, for miles around, joined iu one - of those gond ohl-fashisned huskings; bethought of the rippling brook that run through the pas tore, and the old iiillowlree on the:bank under which lie used to sit for hours -and. angle - for the speckled tnint ; and a tear stole down his bronzed cheek as he un consciously took his pipe from Lis mouth and put it in his pocket with the powder. And then lie got up and went out with out stopping to put on his bouts. Wheth er he went out through the largo hole in the roof, or the small otie in -the side of the house,or whether lie went out of both at one and the same time,his grief-strick en family are unable to-say, and until that last 'day when all mysteries are made plain it will probably remain tinsolved, a sealed hook.
