WHAT A PAIR 'or_ ANDIRONS COST By Peter' Piper, Jr ° Peter," said my uncle, knocking the ashes from his pipe, and_ - laying it on , the corner stone of the mantel piece,- and then fixing his eyes on. the irons, °Peter, these andirons cost me one thousand dollars." Dear me!" exclaimed my aunt. • ° Oh ! father !" cried the girls. • True—evecy word true. One thousand did say?- Yes, two thousand—full two thousand dot tars." =I " Well, well," Said my aunt, folding up her knitting, for the night, I.should like to know. What you are talking about." I My uncle bent forward, and planted his hands firmly on his parted,kncee, and with a deliberate air, which 'showed no doubt of his being able to Prove his assertion, he began : ! Well ; you see, a good many years ago, we had a pair, of common old "andirons. Your cousin I.etty says one day: • Father, don't you think these old andirons are gettingloo shabby V Shah. : by 'or not, I thought they would hold up the wood as nicely as if they were made of gold. So I paid ,no attention to Letty. I was afraid she was grow. proud. Soon after that, Peter," continued my 'uncle, .4 your suet took it. Up.--' " There it, goes," interrupted, my aunt, " you cant get along without dragging me in." , " Your aunt took it up, Peter, and she said our neighbors could afford brass andirons, and were no better oat than We wero. And she said Letty and her sister Jane were just getting old enough to see company, and the stingy looking old. and irlins might hhrt their market. I kneW that wo men will always havri their own .way, and there was no use in objecting. and so I got the andirons. The price of theiniwas ten dollars and a half—". ! that's more like it,".cried my aunt. " I thought you said two thousand / dollars." " My dear, I wish you would not interrupt me. Ten and a- half.; Well, the first night after we got them, as we all sat by the warm fire talking over the matter, Letty called my attention to the heartb-„tho stones of which were cracked and even. The hearth was entirely out of keeping with the new dbdirons, and I thought I might-as well have it replaced first as leep,. The next day a mason was sent for to exiinine it. He came in my absence, and when 'I returned home your cousins and aunt all beset me at once to have a marble slab. • The mason had convinced them the hearth• would not look decent without a marble slab, and they put their heads together." " La me !" exclaimed my. aunt,." there was no putting any beads together about it. The hearth was 'a real old worn out thing, not fit for-a pigpen." "'They put their heads together, Peter, as I was say hut, and continued till I got a7marble hearth, - which Cost• me twenty,d,ollara ; yes, twenty dol lars at least. Then I thought I was done with ex penses, but I thOught :c sriong. Pretty soon I be. gan 4o hear sly hintethrewn out about the brick work around the fire-placm not corresponding with the hearth...l stood out for. a mambo! two against your aunt and- the-gine, but they at length gat the better of me, and I was for Ced to have marble in ,stead of brick: And then the old wooden mantel piece was so out of character that it was necessary •to have a marble • ; The cost of all this was 'nearly one hundred dollars. • And now that the spirit of improvement bad got .a start, there was DO stopping place. The new marble mantel put to shame the' old white-washed walls, and they. must be - papered. The wood work had to be painted of course, and to prepare it for paint sun in dry repairs were necessary.. While this was gog on, your aunt and the girls appeared to be quite satisfied, and whet] it was done, they had no idea the old parlor could be made to look so spruce.— But this wee only) , short respite.' The old rag , earpet begaa to .raise a dust, and I found there would be no pesee -- "Now, my dear !" said the old lady ~with a pleasing smile, accompanied with a partial rotation of the bead— • " Now, father'," exclaimed the girls— " got a new carpet. That, again. shamed the old finniture. and it had to be turned out and replaced With new. • Now, Voter, count up, my lad—twenty dollars for the hearth, end one hun dred for the mantel.piece, and thirty for repairs. What does that make?' "One biutidred and fifty, - uncle." ' " Well, fifty for paper and paint." "Two hundred, • ' 't Then, fifty for a carpet, and ono hundred, et least, for ' . "Three hundred and fifty:" • • - • Ahem Theres that clock, too, and the blinds —fifty more." , "four hundrediexactly:". . I ,Nly aunt and tannins' winked et each o et,.

And all this grew Lout of these very andirons. Yes: Peter, was entirely within bounds when I said . two thousand dollars" . - The opposition was silenced. Mraunt imme diately rase and guessed it was bed-time. I was left alone l with my uncle, who was not inclined to drop the aulject. He was a persevering man. and never gave up what he undertook, till be had done the work thchoughly. So he brought out his books and accounts, and set about making an exact esti mate of the expenses.. He kept me up till after midnight befose he got through. Hie conclusion was that the pair *of andirons cost him twenty-fohr himdred end fitly dollars. PLEASING DISA • PPOINTMENTr:---An af fair occurred in the First Municipality sta few days since, that created quite an excitement in 11 cerr twin select and fashionable circle. It appears that a young titan from the North,:who, having been in the employ of a rich merehantin street, became acquainted some twelve months ego with his eiriployer's •daughter; a blooming damsel of sweet sixteen. . Each- being of •an age when the heart isibriinful of Ire and sentiment; six months had not passed when they had mutually_pledged their hopes' and affections. They had, with ad mirable skill, managed to blind the eyes of 'the fair one's parents go effectually, that they had not even dreamed of the existence of any feeling be tween them warmer than that of common friend ship. Not daring to avow -the paision, which they confidently expected would be frowned upon by the father, they at last 'resolved to brave all danger and elope. ' While making the .necessary arrangementi, which they imagined were -being conducted with •the utmost secrecy, the father came to a know ledge of the faces; he being of a kind and gener 011g disposition, and not wishing to thwart the affections, and *destroy the happiness of hiallarlini child, and entertaining a high respect `for the young man, at once came to the happy determin ation to disappoint the lover's, but in a way they little expected; He secretly made preparations for a wedding, and invited , a few intimate friends to be present on a certain evening, at a little par ty ho was about to give. Through bribes,-he had obtained from a fen - tale servant who attended upon his daughter, all the particulars of the intended elopement. The evening of theilay, fixed at last came, rind the maiden's heart throbbed with anx iety and fear, when she reflected upon the step she ems about to take; but love, as is usually the case, proved stronger than her sense of duty. . The gay Lothario bad. as he thought, fortu nately found h boat that will to leave fur Niit chez at nine o'clkick in the evening, and had en gaged a passage fdr himself Ind intended bride.— He engaged a carriage, and made all the arrange ments to - leave the house St eight o'clock. The father, through the means we_ have spoken of, ob tained all the iliformatioiX-he---required, and the Carriage driver, who,was - to wait upon`a corner near the old gentleman's house, bad received his instructions from' hart. The, lovers reached the carijage - end a moment were whirling as they supposed to the boat, but' what wee their,aston ishinent, after ri:short drive, to find themselves against the door of the wronged father. But no pen can describe the confusion Of both, when that individual supped out and kindly welcomed them home. - They were ushered into the parlory and there found a priest in attendance, and in a few moment+ the happy pair were united. The girl fell upon the neck of her father end wept tsars of joy. The old man, , after lecturing his children upon their -undutiful proceeding, generously fur. gave themiand the next day his neighbor mer chants were struck with Wonder by seeing a pain ter adding ^ dc, C 0.," to the name on the sign.— N.

Mexico to the mouth; of the Rio Grande, with. the famous expedition of the five hundred Greeks under the renowned leader of nearly simi lar nine Col. Xenophon. The last.has become,. Classic, because it was told in..so charming a man ner by Xenophon, and all Doniphan has to do, is to write as perfect a histbry of his expedition to make it be read with admiration two thousand years hence. .The Greeks were led from near Bab ylon through Amenia to the Black Sea, and thence to Chryeopolis; . hree-thousand four hundred and aixty-tive . Engliith miles. It was accomplished in fifteen months, and a large part- of n through an . •unknown, mountainous, and hostile' country, and in an inclement season, the Greeks losing every thing-except their lives and arms. Doniphan and the Missourians travelled over six thousand miles in twelve months, neither receiving supplies nor money, but living exc)nrAvirly on the country through which they'paseed, and supplying them selves with-powder and. balls by capturing , them from the enemy.'. • They fought threethatiles, in each of which they were Victerioce over erectly supertdr numbers. .
