"Who is Squire '.'I'gh t" 1 asked: ""iVho is Squire B!ii;h, you mean ?" re turned my friend. "Sit down and I will tell you a story." So I sat down, and he told mc as fol lows, and I have been thinking of it ever sintc, and weaving into my thoughts with the memory bf these tiny children intent upon their picture books. "Nigh iorty years ago there was widow living ia this place who had an only s&n. named Jack." 'Yes," I interrupted, i:aud he was an idle good for-nothing lad, always in mis chief, and an ausitty to his mother." "Who told you.so V asked my friend. liNo one," said I, "go on with your tery." "lie went on doing little or nothing, until he was a grout fellow of seventeen or eighteen, his chief work being ti ttike the hordes down for the farmers rouiii this he did not object to, n he could ride down to the river, and ride up aaia. One Cue evening ia the fpring ho was re turning with t'.o horses as usual, when, as he paused a certain stile, ho beard some one ".! to biui "Jack:'' "Here I be," said Jack, stopping the horse-j, aud looking in the direction from wheucc the voice came, "Hoy," he ejac ulated, iu a tone of astonishment and Ratification, as bis eye fell upon the neat ititlu figure of the girl who bed Lecn taken to 't'Mf' in the dairy. "What be you doing here, Nelly V "WaitiDg to see you, Jack." "That's kiud at any rate, and it's not many would do it, but I'm a ne'er-do-well, and no one need trouble about me," said he, Fotnewhat bitterly. 'That's just what I came to tell you," returned the little maiden. "Then you don't care about me?" said he, with a little vexation' ia his tone. "Cure ! why should I, for a lazy feliCY like you? I should think not." "Hut you might, Nelly." "Might, indeed ! I mightu't do any thing of the sort. At any rate I don't." 'Then what did you come here for ?'" "To tell you you ought to be ashamed of yourself." "There's plenty to do that," returned the lad. "Yes ; but yon don't head them, and you might heed them. Jack. Won't you begin to work a bit V "I don't know what to begin at." ""our mother's got a nice piece of garden, Jjck." ''I've nothing to put into it," answered Jack, despondingly. "Nonseusc," said Nelly, "what a faint heart you have. I'll give you a lot of beans to begin' with. You put np the horses, and I'll be hack la a minute." So Jack put up the horses and waited for Nelly. Presently she came tripping along, with her apron full of something. (ir.ira ' Cfliil fcllA "llfdd vnni ' . ' . -- cne Fuu' -"" '.. auu. no woni home.

He evidently-turned over a new leaf, and the widow and her neighbors thought the lad was bewitched, as perhaps he might have been. At any rate he had set to wotk iu earnest;, and hesoou fouud plenty to do, the farmers being nothing loth to give employment to one" who, despite his idleness, was a" general lavoiite. Nelly alone held aloof. Jack was get ting beyond her patronage; he had sud denly become more manly, and seemed as if he Iipd jrmvn 3 be?d t".l!cr idl;:t or.c?t 'v aol- Kelly turned shy, and it was ail he e titl 1 do to get stray words from her now aud then. It was clear that she would have noth ing to say to hiri, vrhiih Jacu thought rather hard after all the trouble he had taken to please her; and the mora he pondered over it the less he could under stand it. Nelly used to be so friendly. "Perhaps if I were a rich mau she might gi'e a thought to mc," said Jack, and so ha determined to go elsewhere, to seek his fortun3, aud return and mako Nelly his wife. When he went to say gcod bye to her, he did it in rather a blundering way. "May be I shall find you married when I come h jiiic again," sdd the poor lad. looking wistfully at her. "May be you will," returned Nelly, "if j I find any cue I like whilst you are away." j And so they farted, and both repented their ppecchea wlicu it was too Into to ro call them. "Well, what is to be, is to be," solilo fjiiized Jack, endeavoring to Sud coasola tioti therein, "but Nelly's the only woman that shall ever be my wife." When Jack was gor.e, Ne!iy went often to see the widow liligh and was a g.oat comlort to her, and their Conversa tion always turned upon Jack. A year parsed away, and no tidings camo of him. Then another, and the tivo women did not talk so much now, but they sat quietly at their wurk when Nelly C"u!d spare time from the dairy, aud it was consolation to theru to be together. At the beginning of the next year Nelly was summoned to her home in a distant country. Her mother vras dying, and as she did not conic back, the widow Uligh was left to bear the trouble alone ; and through the spriug and into the sum mer she watched and watched ; and every morning she opened her shutters and let in daylight, she wondered whether that day would bring her son home, and every evening as the dayliglil faded away, she she said, "he may come to morrow." Aud at length the to-morrowcame, and a handsome- sailor walked up the village street into his mother's cjttage ; and soon the news spread abroad that Jack Bligh had cotno homo with bags of gold gui- CC33. Hut that was not of course true. The arst pel son that Jack asked after was Nelly Giles, but he could hear nothing of her. "Never mind her, Jack," said the wid ow, who was quite content, now that she had her son, and indeed did not much care for a rival, "she's not worth (.Linking if." JJut Jack was not of his mother's opin ion, and he was scarcely sorry to go away 'airi, for the old place seemed very dreary without Nelly. This time he was able to writa to his mother occasionally, for he had brushed nn his writing, an J it was a protid day for the widow nhen the schoolmaster came in to read her son's letters. A second time Jack IJligh came home, and this time a hired carriage, laden with boxes and packages, stopped at the wid ow's door, for Jack was prospering. But nothing had been heard cf Nelly, and Jack could not bear the sight of the Guc things be had brought, for he had intended the most of them for her. "It's till through those beans," thought poor Jack, "that I came to go away." ASD TE ZSrOBCKXIST 0 THB IAW3. j over it in "reat state. "And did Jack marry ?" I asked. "Don't iutcrriipt mc," said my friend. "For a long time he did not, although his mother pointed out more than oue girl in the neighborhood who would make him a good wife at last he did" 'Oh !" said I, wit h a kind of sigh "Wait," continued nty friend. One tuoruiug a pale thiu woman enter ed the village, and when she was opposite t!i6 old blue!: timbered hou.-c, she asked of a wagoner who was passing, whether tie Widow B'.igh was still living ? 'Ay,' rpplied tt-.o man, 'she be.' 'And has Jack come home?' 'Jack indeed " said the nm. "Squire jjjjiyh'a i eou e home, aud Le lives iu that bu-mcre. The poor woman looked tip at the sub stantial house of tho lad. she had given the handfull of beans, aud her heart died within her. "He'll not care for the likes of mc," j said she to herself, as sho turned to go away again. But the shock had betri too great for her toil and travel-worn frame, and she had not taken many steps Indole she sank down on t?!'? ground. The wagoner ran to her ' assistance. He raised her head, pushed back her bon net, and shouted to the astonished Squire, who happened to be returning from bis morning's stroll. 'Master, master ! if here boai't Nelly Giles!' This was on Saturday, and how it all cams to be arranged so soon, or whether the Squire even asked Nelly, I don't know; but tho next Sunday at church the bans were put up, and in less than three weeks the Squire and Nelly were married. And they live at the old Lrai house to this day, and the S'uiie chang ed the name to the Beau Farm, and so it's been called ever siuce. Aud they've one daughter, as bright a la's as need be. She does not wear little white linen caps and short petticoats, as her mother used to do; but, for all that, the Squire says she's the very image of what Nei!y Giles was when sho gave him the hatlull of beans'. 'And wheri had Nelly beea all ' these years ?' said 1, 'Up far away iu tho North with her father. He was a poor weak body, and she coujd not leave him till he died, and then she travelled down to see if Jack had esuio home; for, of course, she knew that Jack liked her, and would never marry any one else. Only, you see, she never expected him to propose as ho had done.' And this was 'Tie rtory my friend tdd me, and somehow it wove itscU into my mind in connection with the fairy legend which the little ones in the fair haven were pouriug over, and I mingled fiction and fact until I brought myself almost to believe that I had seen the hero of the beanstalk celebrity. For did he not owe his prosperity to a hatfull f ba? And had he not left bis widowed mother ia her little cottage whiLt Le went into far off lands to bring homo gold and treasure? And did not they end their d'ys ia affluence, just like Jack and his mother in the time-honored story? AX EHS0DK IN' REAL LIFE. Our attention has just been called to one of those little episodes in life which are so full of romance, and which put to Hush the ffat and insipid efforts of the novelist who so strains at the imaginative. Wn will tell tho story as wo have learned i: as briefly as possible. Some tcu years ago a German family left the old country to find a home in the ccw. " A member of tho family,' and the one to whom we shall particularly refer, was a bright eyed, lovely girl of sixteen, named Kate. In Germany she had plight ed her froth with a young farmer, who expected to leave for this country iu the same ship as Kate, but some untoward circumstiiheo prevented, and they must pci force separate for a time. Before do in- so thev a-aia and nsatn 3TCorc to be - o J C true to each other, ua 1 that co sea sua aid be broad enough or boisterous enough to separate them long. As scon as the yonnt? inn could arrartga ' his ffirho would follow his betrothed, and in the new world seek her hand. With her parents Kate came to Mil waukee and settled here. It is a matter of little importance to our readers wheth er Kate's fater opened a lager beer sa loon or enf-aged ia other legitimate bus iness. Sufficient is it to say they came herj and settled down aud prospered. For some months every steamer broight rt letter from the young Casper to Kate, sayirg that he was naaily ready to leave, and ia a few weeks at most should be in Milwaukee to clasp the hand cT her he loved more andj more cvciy day of his life. Suddenly, the letters ceased com ing, and not a word was heard of or fiom the lover. Now, it is preposterous to suppose that a pretty young rirl like Kate should re main long without lovers. Kate thought of ''asucr, and kept tlitm off fur four years, but hearing nothing from Casper, and believing liim -dul, -or fwhat'Tras worse, faithless, when tho right man and the right time came, she yielded like a good gad, and gave the love which she had been saving for Casper to another. After a lew years of happy wedded life, the da;k day came and Kate was a widow. 1 'tiling her happy married life she had in a great measure Jorgottea Casper ana the early love, Lut one day, while sitting buried iu thought over her lot husband, a peculiar sensation sceaied to pierce her heart, aud she felt all her old love for Casper come back as fresh and as earnest as it was when the two parted at Iiam betg years before. She could not' ex plain it, other than one of those mysto vies, Vibich are, as yet, unexplained, de ii.jtiag the presence of "two souls with but a single thought." For several days the strange fueling kept po.-ses.-iou of her breast. She said nothing, hut thought a good deal. One day he picked tip a copy of the Si e JJi'c, and as her eyes rzu carelessly over tin? German list of let'ers, she met a naui3 which for a moment startled her it was that of Casper. The name tbu.-px-ed before her seemed to add more fuel to the Came raging in her bosom. Her impatient spirit would listen to no further delay. At once inquiry was pros ecuted among hf C'ciman friends. One of them knew Casper. He was a tall, good lurking-young iiian. lie had left I his home iu Germany only a year before, and had been vainly searching through - out the West for sor.n; lot friend. His face wore a desp, thoughtful look, as if there had been grief mixed with his his tory, and iudqed the friend had often heard C ispcr speak of some bright ncucl which had left hiia years belore, and was now lust to Lira forever. He was l single, tco. tjlie had heard rittn dcrlarc that having lost her, he should never j many. How poor Kate's hoart bounded now. "fwas he .-he knew it felt it. After so long an absence he had comeback to her. She was yet young and by no means ugly. Ah! she had but to see him to talk with him a moment ail his love would returri, aud burn as ber's was novf burn ing, and together they would float down life's sea so happy. The thought made her impatient. She wouid surprise Casper. While he thought she was dead or wedded to another, she would appear before him, .and win him back to a new aud stronger desire to live for her. The friend assisted and behold Kate, her heart fluttering furiously, yet light rind happy withal, as she stood on the threshold of Caspcrs dcor. Lightly she entered the apartment. He sat at the tablo his back towards her, his face buried in his hands, and Kate heard a sob which seemed to come from tho in nermost recesses cf his heart. "Oh, God I" she thought, "and all this for me. He has been so true so devoted all thee long years." She stepped up and lightly touched him on the bhemider. Tho man, surpris ed that his privacy should be invaded, looked up suddenly. Their eyes met. Strange to siy, Kate had never seen that face beo'ri ia bar life. Mihcaul-ee Pa- per.

A divino arrangermunt. ha nprnt out tho thin, iiiiiiy curtaiu of the sky, like that thin fi'm. of water, the blue soap bubble, which, like the atmosphere, reflects and decomposes the light reffeete on its surface. As with light so also tho . atmosphere is the conductor of sound. Professor Cooke says : "Every one who has dropped a stone into the water of a still hike ba3 noticed the system tf waves which, with its evet iucreasing circles, spreads iu every di, rectioo from the stone; but all may not know that when two stones are struck to gether in the air a similar system of xrial waves spread, in evcrwiacnintj spheres, through the atmosphere, and th.at it is the wales breaking ou the tympanum of our ears, like the waves of water on li sand beach, which produce the sensation wlrkh we ca! sound. Two sti ues thus struch together give rise to waves uf un equal size, fullos-inij one another at irreg ular intervals ; uu.l such waves produce tau unp.easaiti twrhfflfiou et our nttditcr uerves whi-h r.i cull noi-e. But if, iu stead of striking together two stones, tr set iu vibration the string of a piano forto or tho reed of an organic pipe, we excite a system of waves, all of equal size, and succeeding oue another -vith regularity, and these breaking on tie car produce by their regular boats what we call a musk-a! note. If the waves fuiio',7 one another with such rapidity that one hundred and twenty-eight break on the tympanum every second, the- note has a fixed j itch called ia music C natural. If the waved come' faster than this, the pitch is lower. What you aie all familiar with as the pitch of a musical note depends then, ori tho rapidity v. ith which the wave3 cf sound strike the car, and may evidently be measured lj the number of waves breaking on the tympanum in a second." Science demonstrates that tae uifTcr cues between colors ia of precisely tho same kind as the diSerence between tunci. Kid, yellua-, green, blue, violet, Ac, ari names we give to sensations caused by waves of ether breaking at intervals on the retina, and color cf corresponds to pitch, and at every step as tht whole scale of colors spreads out bufore us the an docy of light to sound becomes still more evi dent. And thus wonderful are the forces the atmosphere holds and the vaiictics of arrangement it displays, it Bothies aid d:ffu.-es luat, Tvhile ;t hclds and dispec-.-es the mysterious and astcnishing agca eies of electricity, just as the electrical : machine is constantly rubbing together gl:is3 and silk; just as we rub a stick of -eahiig wax or a glass tube with a warm silk haudicrchief, so the air ia always rubbing over the face of the carta vth greater or less rapidity.
