From the plumes upon her bonnet to the pen

The sun himself may never meet the flashing of

lier Weldon. with its folded shield; la girt upon

Her bodice., set with ribs of brass. with hempen

Fora triple-quiltcd armor to guard her slender

And never May a mortal man, with all his
strength and art,
Effect the brace defences, that protect her ruth

Ae these chilling thoughts passed
through his mind, a soft hand WILi kid

voice spoke :

"[don't feel like eating, Clara. Leave

And Mrs. By!stone took off her elegant
hat and lace shawl, and drew the Paris.

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

"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.
"lie might have thought of it before
he weld away from h0w...," said she. "But

Mrs. Itylistone laughed out defiantly.—
She knew her husband's will had been

"Fortunately I escaped unh u rt,alt hough

Mrs. Rylstone had risen and was hurry

"Dearest George!" she began, but Mr.
Ily'stone evaded the serpent like cures,.
"Pray do not trouble yourself," said he,
"1 have heard and seen quite enough
of your churactAr to justify me in an en

own several ways—Bertie and I will find
what happiness we can among the blue
hills of %. ermout."
And Mr . 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

WHAT BECAME OF HER.
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

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.

••Look' at your tac•e,us brown as a huzle

washed her own complexion in butter
milk every night.
don't kn rn what I'm to do with the
child, Pm sure," said the worthy farmer,
with a perturbed look. "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,

would hardly please the more matured
tastes of wenty•eight. And besides I

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.—

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

him, saying. "Poor Dan I how Billy will

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•

his unexpected loci, and speaking to - the
dog, lie cried Out,=',‘You're saved, = Dan I

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

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

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

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
