Ile could nut pass a lady on the street witln.ut making himself ridienlons in trying to avoid her ; and to be obliged to sit opposite one at the ta!,le overwhelm e d him with confusion. If requested to pass a certain article of food, he was sure to pass the wrong one, and, in his mortifica tion, would cap the c'imax by upsetting his coffee upon himself or his neighbors. The only time that Nathaniel was ever known to involuntarily present himself in ladies' company was on th e oche a ,i a , of a picnie.goi ten up by the ladies of the village : but when he arrived at the scene of festiviths, and found himself sur rounded by such an array of female love limas, his courage forsook him, undotrmd the jeers at his comrades, he ran home for dear life. A ieapegrace by the name of Tom Job , . son, a character famous for playing tricks upon everbody, conceived the idea of "getting a good one" upon Nathaniel. A young married lady by the name of Mrs. Lane, whose husband was tempora- rily absent on business in a foriegn coun try, had lately taken up her residence in the village. Having learned this much, Toni sought Nathaniel, and, in a very earnest and confidential manner, said to him : "Nat, rye got something very impor tant to tell you—the best piece of news you ever heard, warrant," "What is it ?" inquired Nathaniel, ea gerly. "Well," began Tom, lowering his voice almost to a whisper, and assuminga most earnest expression of confidence, "you have seen this Miss Lane that has lately moved into the village ?" " Yes," replied Nathaniel, " and a mighty fine looking young woman she is, too." "That's so," said Tom ; " and what do you think—she has taken a great fancy to you, Nat. "Pshaw, "exclaimed Nathaniel. "Fact," declared Tom. "She was talk ing with my sister Agnes about you yes terday, and when she heard so good a re port of yor,ind that your only failing was being so she of women. she said she wish ed she could get acquainted with you. but she supposed that would be. impossi ble. She said she bad made up her mind that if she ever married it would be to some respectable, honest man in the a ountry, for she had become disgusted sith the deceit and heaftlessness of city men; It's clear enough that she came here for no other purpose than to pick np some good, honest fellow like you." "If I only thought you were in earnest. Tom." said Nathan ie . ), after a moment's pause, and in an animated manner; "but I'm afraid your'o paying orie of your tricks upon me." • "Nut," replied Tem,.wittrn offended air, "I'm telling you the truth..

Nathaniel accepted the intitnlinn. and dropped into the proircied chair with a fluttering heart. "Nice day," he ventured to remark in a husky tone. "A beautiful day," replied Mrs.. Lane, with a cordial vigor which made him start.. " Nice wen ther to ride out—and see the crops—and things," stammered Nathan iel. after a long " a-hem ing" and hitching uneasily in his seat. "Yes, indtion," said Mrs. Lane, rinzzled at her visitor's strange manner, and curi ous to know what. he could be driving at.. Another painful pause ensued. Na thaniel looked at the lady, then at the llonr, then at the ceiling; his face turned all colors, arid his muscleaawitt lied ner vously. Its felt that be lot undertaken the most stnpetplous and trying fiat of hts life. All his' zormer mis,:ons dwin dled into nothingness compared wit this. Its wished he ass at home!

What could this answer moan but an invitation to come to the interesting cli max at one•, awl relieve both partles No sooner thought than acted nlhui. Wi• ping his perspiting forehead, he blurted out: 'Miss lane, I'm a single, man, and want a wife. A friend of mine has told me that you have spoken of me in a fa '4..orable kind of %ray, and advised MC to dome sod s.e you, Will you marry me:?' It is strange how susceptible of sudden charge is one's temper, nud especially a woman's! Mrs. Lane, not dreaming of such a termination of affairs, was astoun ded. and very properly, highly indignant, -What du you mean, sir, by insulting me, a married womau, in this way ?" She exclaimed; leave my house immediately!" and she or n^d the door to accelerate her offender's exit. “A married . woman-0, Lord r' gasp ed poor Mahatma!, who had risen from hip seat and stood trembling from head to foot, and in his fright and confusion he bolted out of the door, leaving his hat behind him. Ou board the tram that left the vil lage of M. that evening, there might have been seen, in one corner of the car, a woe begone man holding with one hand a huge carpet, bag upon his knee, while with the other He now and then wiped his lace with his pocket handkerchief. This individual was no other than poor Nathaniel Wilson, who, filled with grief and mortification at his ridiculous per formance of that afternoon, had hastily gotten together his worldly all, and was flying from the scene of his disgrace. But “all's well that ends well ;" and never had the proverb a more striking illustration titan in the cruel hoax of which Nathaniel Wilson had been made the victim. But a few days had elapsed atter Mrs. Lane's interview with Nathan iel, when the lade received news of the I death of her husband, which occurred several weeks previously in the distant country whither lie had gone. In the meantime the heartless joke that had been played upon Nathaniel had come to the ears of Mrs. Lane, and with it so fa vorable a mention of Nathaniel's moral standing in the community, that the la dy In her goodness of heart, wrote to Na thaniel a letter of-regret for the injury she had innocently done him, and assur ing him of the respect with which she had come to regard him. The missive received from the over• joyed Nathaniel a propt response. A cor respondence was established and -contin ued between'-the two so' ludicrously brought together, and in little more than a year after his departure, Nathaniel re turned home to consummate in marriage the courtship so inauspiciously begun. His short experience among strangers had wrought a wonderful change in him; . the awkward, bashful fellow had indeed "made a man of himself," and none- are more highly esteemed in the village of M. than Mr. and rd.

"Of course it won't," replied Tom, and again exhorting 'Nathaniel to lose no time in securing so rich a prize, hi departed. Poor Nathaniel was in a pitiable state of anxiety and uncertainty, But love, the great conqueror,- soon decided his COUISe, "I'll go and see her !" he exclaimed. "Ira man ain't a man at twenty six years old, when is he going to be I" And the next hour saw Nathaniel Wil son, the moat bashful man in all the country round, attired in his hest suit, and nearly frightened to death, standing on the doorstep of Mrs. Lane's dwelling. With a trembling hand he gave the MI convulsive pull. Thecall was answered by the object of his adoration herself. `Good morning,”Nathaniel managed to artictilate, elilivions of the fact that it is throe hours past noon. "Good afterhoun.si hid Mrs. Lane. " Will yoti walk in ?" Devoted to the Interests of our Town and. County. HOW TILE DEACON WAS SOLD never shall. have you ettledst wiee in tan prevent it. A city dandy like him indeed ! I'd just as leif ou'd mar ry Dan Meeker, the idiot, as to become the wife of that popinjay." And Deacon Merriman delibenitely tipprd his chair against the side of the house, or rather against the sink-room door—a habit that was a favorite with him—and seemed to regard the case as settled. Little began to cry a little,then thought better of it, and, drying her eyes, grew rapidly indignant. "lie isn't a popinjay I" she said ; "he's as good as anybody, and a deal better than Peter Bridge, if you did but know it." Peter Bridge was her father's favorite,a shady, nail.tu-do young tarmer, though people did say he was a trifle passimon ions. -Well, I don't know it. and nobody else don't know it either," he cried un grily. - Peter Bridge is a king to him, and has rot four times as much money;to ' say nothing of the old Bridge farm, that is worth time thousand if it's worth a dol -1 lar. I tell ye, Letty, a gal could do much worse than to marry Peter Bridge." "And much better, I hope," said Lefty. "At any rate I shall try, for I won't wile my :slippers on Peter Bridge." "Well, as I said before, you never shall marry Russ Ilardinge." snapped Deacon Merriman grimly, "so that's the end on't. And if you won't hale Peter, why you can be an old maid, I suppose." "I shall not do either. I nave promised already to be Ross llardinge's wife, and have no intention of breaking my word —so there !" And then, astonished at her own temerity, Letty burst into tears. The deacon sat silent a moment. In all his life long he had never encountered spii it quite so rebelious as this. "I never !" he cried, and in his dismay endeatored ro again the perpendicular. But his chair was tilted back so far that it n gnired some exertion to do this and, giving a sprinr,the door amainst which he r wax eating new open. an d ' Lover he went amongst the pots and kettles, and down came a pail of dirty water upon his de vonid head. We are afraid the deacon made use of expresxians that woald be wicked even for it sinner to ii*ter. Ile rattled around some time before he succeeded in getting opt it his feet. am] when the difficult ope rtaon accomplished, his features rtj seintiled that of an Indian chief with the! war-paint on. The it d daughter fairly 01r:foil with laughter. "'Dish up!" he exclaim id," it's a I pretty time, if I'm to be made a laughing stock or in my own house. I won't ea dare "Yon won't, Miss Disobedience. put a lock ou the door of your room, and keel you on lii.ad and put Iron Li.irm More your windowS, and nut let you write a word to communicate with "But T am eighteen," cried Letty,turn• mg as red as a peony. •"1 don't care if yon are eighty-one! No daughter of mine shall marry a fool, and he is a fool if ever there was one." The deacon was asgood ae his word in regard to the lock. fie had one put on the door of her room, and Lettv became n prisoner. Then lie told Ross iiardnige that he shou!d never have Lettir. "Why not ?" asked Ross, quite coolly. shall marry an Idiot." Ross smiled. "Look here, old gentleman, if you wasn't 'to he my father in law, I'd make you ail pardon fur that little speech. As it is. I impeose hate to consider upon it instead." "And if I wasn't a deacon, I'd teach you better things you puppy !" And with that the deacon hurried away to the blacksmith's shop for the iron bars to be placed over Letty s windows." "A fool, am I?" mutterers koss iTar dinge, after he was gone. "We'll sklld gentleman ; the case is by no means t e eidetl. Perhaps there are - bigger fools in this world than I, and one of them may be a deacon. I like Lab?, and she likes me, and I'm not going to give her up without a strnggle of some kind." So he sat down and wrote this quixot ic letter ; "l7enri' TOM—You once said that you would oblige me by giving me halt of your fortune, if I would accept it. I told you I would accept the will for the deed (for I knew it was nothing but foolish enthusiasm in you to offer to pay me for dragging, you out of the river, but now, if you will simuly,tratiefer the whole of your bank stock to my credit for a few days, it would be a great accoraniodation. I pledge you my word that I will return every cent of it within a month." And then he signed„ it, and sealed it, and sent it away to the postnffice. Three days later he walked into the office of Squire 'llerriman,f e dean brotheroind told him he wished to obtain his advice. "In what respect ?" demanded the squire. "The investment of money. My prop erty is mostly in bank stock, and I wish to invest a portion in something else. What would you advise ?' "I would prefer to see your certificates of stock as is preliminary," dryly observed the squire.' Out came pocket books and memoran dums, and sufficient stock was accounted for to amount to thirty thousand dollars. The deacon's brother began to rub his eyes. "By .Tovel" he said to himself—he wan't a :deacon, you,know—"if ho has got us much money as that, old Reuben is making .a fool of himself. I'll put a flea in his ear forthwith." Then. turning to Rois, he added aloud: "I'l out it in real estate." Ross handed him ten dollars, and left the office. 'And .beforo night Deacon Merriman was posted. Off came the leek and key and the iron bars, Int;iug never been pnt on, were stowed away with other old rubbish in a burry. The next day RCM ventured to call, and the warm reception he met was a great surprise to Lett}, who never had known her father to relent before. She held her peace, however, and did not al lude to it after he was gone. • • Her father did. "I've ehanged my mind,Letty," hesaid. "I've heard something about Ross Har dinge that has convinced me be is not so bad as I thought him. Young people will be young people, and if you wish to marry him, forget what I have said." But he did not tell her what he had heard. Of course, the deacon's objections re. moved, it was all smooth water, and Ross drove his wooing su furiously, that in three weeks they were married. Then her liiitiand explained his arti• flee to her, fearing that she had been de ceived, but her father had never told her what had changed his sentiments. And instead of blaming him. she kissed him, and called him a dear, nice fellow. In a week the deacon began to talk hank stock. "It don't trouble me," said Ross, with a laugh. "It don't trouble you 1 Haven't yon thirty thousand dollars invested in bank stock ?" thundered his tither-in-law. "No, sir—not thirty cents." The deacon said something that dea cons are not supposed to ntter. "What has become of that wealth you showed my brother ?" he asked. "o,that was borrowed for the occasion,' said Ross quietly. "I returned it as soon as I had accomplished my purpose. Yon called me a fool once, and I vowed to be even with you, as I rather think I am." If the deacon prayed mcre fervently that night than usual, it was because he had a terrible struggle with old Adam within him. After all. Ross Hardinge did not make a bad son-in-law. Arid when be got to own hail Cedardale, the deacon forgave him entirely. An Editor In heaven —o-- Such is the caption of an article which has been going the rounds of the papers fur a time, and which appears to be some thing new "nniler the sun." Just as if editors were not in the habit of going to heaven. We'll venture to say that a greater proportion of them go to the home of those who have performed their m 8: sion of mercy on earth, than any oilier profession or calling the poor mortals fill. "An editor in Heaven." There's nothing strange about it at all. ft's almost a morel as well as professional impossibili ty for them to go anywhere else. Once upon a time after the demise of a mem ber of the corps editorial, he presented himself at the gates of the "Golden City" and requested admission. The door keep er asked him what had been his occupa tion while on Terra Firma ? He replied he was an editor. Well, said the watchman, wo have a crowd of of your kind here now and they all came in as "dead heads." If you pay your passage you can come in, if not, von must place yourself tinder the control of a personage you ruled tvranioilly down below, meaning the devil. Not having the wherewith to go in, nor brother of the quill and scissors pos ted off and 'presented himself at the en trance of Clootle's dark domains. A very ilxrk complexioned gentleman stood slrntry, and asked in a gruff voice, who comes. An humble disciple of Faust, was the calm reply. Then hold on you can't be admitted, exclaimed the gentleman in black, evin cing considerable agitation, and fiercely scowling upon him. Why not? aemanded the typo, who be gau to get somewhat huffish and looked around for a sheep's foot with which to force an entrance, Well, replied his sable majesty, we let one of yonr profession in here many years ago, and he kept up a continual row with his former delinquint subscribers, and as we have more of that class of persona hero thah any othei, we have passed a law prohibiting the admission of editors, quly those who have advanced our inter est in their paper on earth, and them we keep in a separate room by themselves. You have published many things ope rating against ns, and always blamed the Devil with everything thai went wrong, so von can't come in.

Ar. 711 LE TO SZSLPEP, • Every living being r•s rest and sleep. A man will live only eighteen or nineteen days without sleep, when Ire dies Rom exhaustion with delimit). The Chinese sometimes sen tence their murderers "to die by being deprived of sleep." This painful mode of death is car ried Into effect, as follows: "The condemned Is placed in prison under the care of three po lice guard, whn relieve each other 'every alter nate hour, and who prevent the prisoner films falling asleep night or day." About the eighth day 'the suffering Is intense and the prisoner implores the authorities to end his sufferings by any other mode of death. Sleep is necessary to repair the waste that is constantly going on In the system during the waking hours. Prof. Hammond says, "the bocy is undergoing continual chance. The hair 'of yesterday is not the hair of today; the muscle which extends the arm is not identically the same muscle. after as before the action old material has been removed and new has been deposited to an equal extent, and though the weight and form, t h e chemical constitution and' histological character have been preserved, the identity has been lost." This constant change goesum, mostly during activity, and only sleep can repair the waste. A person of active hub its requires about eight hours sleep. After the contraction and dilatation of the auricles and ' ventidcles of the heart, there is an interval dur ing which the organ Is at rest, which amounts to cnte-fourth of the time requisite to make one pulsation and begin another. During six honra of die twenty-four the heart is Ina state of rest. The respiratory act is divided into three equal portal, one is occupied in inspiration, one in ex piration,and the other one by a period of repose, During eight hours of the day, therefore, the muscles of respirations and lungs ant inactive.. And so it is, oven to a greater extent, with oth er important organs of the body. Fusel has its time to rest. But for the brain thou Ls no rest except during sleep. Ong-third of our lives is passed In sleep; and it is accessary to use this time to the best of ad vantage, for our lives are short at best. As we can economize time and strength by knowing when to sleep, I propose to lay down% few well established principles for those who are desir ous tcl make the most of "Tired Nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep i" Before writing more I cannot refrain from giving Sancho Panza's ad mirable philosphy of sleep.
