KISSED BY MISTAI3.
A quiet, uneventful life was mine until
I left the shelter of my futher'B roof in
Graham, nnd accepted the desk of book-
keeker in the wholesale clothing establish
ment of Shear fc l'rescott, in the busiy littlo
city of Weston.
Out there, one fine afternoon, in October,
just in the midst of the Indian summer, 1
invited Lillie l'rescott, with whom I wits
very nearly in love, to walk iD the park
with mti.
Her litile hand in its delieate prinirnsc
colored glove rested on my onii, her black
eyes were lifted to my face. I felt partic
ularly tender oud confidential, nnd at peace
with all the world. We were speaking of
forgiousness of the distant hills, clothed, as
they were, in their maotlo crimson folingo,
when I was brought to a stop by hearing
my name prouounced in a tone neither
sweet or agreeable :
Mr.S tuith, I'll just trouble you for n
minit. !'
I lookecd tip. A woman of fifty, or
thereabouts, effectually blocked the side
walk before us; indeed her proportions were
coilofsal. If ever I have seen the perifon-
ihcati;u ol indignation, 1 saw it . in her
countenance.
'Madame V I exclaimed, retreating a lit
tl . I it.- en , .
uu in.'ui .no uancry oi naslimg grey eyes
winch she had brought to bear upon mo
'lou noedu t madamo tne!' she fried
waxing redder. 'I'll jest trouble you to

piece of paper before my eyes which read
substantially

I relumed !he bill to her.
'I owe yr,n nothing, madanio.
I never
saw you before in tny life 1'
lou iieeda t lie te me ! she cried, set
'ir.g hr amis akimbo. 'I hain't kept a
ccutcc-1 boarding house fifteen years for
nothing sir! You'll cither fork on the
spot or I'll take the law !'
Take it,' remarked I ; you're welcome
to it.'
'You thiuk to scare me, young roan : re
member what you promised! I'll have you
too up for it as sure a mv name is Dig
gins! I'll learn you better than to de
eeive a trusting widder woman in that way
You desatcful hypocrite !'
'Madame, you insult nie !'
't in, it looks well tor such as . you to
stand on your diguity ! Mighty lofty, all
at ouce ! You've forgot the cream flipjacks
I used to make you, and the kisses you
used to give mo every evrning after the
rest ot 'em was gone to bed ! You've for
got tho half dozen shirts I made you, arid
never charged you a cent ! You've forgot
that you solemnly promised to mirry mo
last Tuesday morning ! You've forgot that
have you V
'Yes yes th-that is I never! no
stammered I, droppiug Miss Lillie's arm,
in consternation.
Do you dare to. deny it V cried she in
rage.
'Yes, forever, and a day afterward !'
I roared out. 'Do yon think I would mar
ry au old termagant like you? I(d rather
rmury my grandmother."
I saw the Cre flash up ia her eves. The
widow was wnxing dangerous, I dodged
the reticule she aimed at my bead aud fell
over backwards ns she charged upon me
with her half mourniDg parasol Miss
Lillie turned and Ced. I thought discre
tion the better part of valor, so I leaped
over a garden fence near at hand, nnd was
immediately attacked by a largo dog, that
sprung out of a kennel near by. I seized

craur, niaue gnou my escape Dy ioruing a
duck pond and reaching the next street,
from which I hurried home at the best
time I could command.
I was resolved that I would not remain
in AYeston a day longer. Evidently there
was in tiiis city some other Richard Smith
for whose notorious self I was mistaken. I
penned a hasty note to my employers,
giving txy reasons for leaviug them, packed
my trunk, paid my board, aud marking my
trunk and baggage, 'R'd Smith, New
Hampton,' 1 took the cars for the locality
specified.
In selecting New Hampton as my desti
nation, I bad no very definate purpose in
view ; but in a place of its size I had do
doubt oi being able to secure, ooue lucra
tive situation ; aud blacking of boots was
hotter, If I could bo 16ft uumolestcd than
the station of president; if I must lose my
identity, and be attacked by viragoes in the
streets.
It wn near noon of the licit day, when
the traiu whirled up to. the depot at Now
Hampton. I alighted, and was hastening
down the platform to look after my hagnge,
when I faw a young lady, in a brown silk
walking dress, earnestly regarding me. As
we caught eyes, she threw up her veil and
sprang toward me. As the veil swept buck,
it revealed tho loveliest lace that I ever
looked upon, had never dreamed ol any
thing half so beautiful. Iu involuntary
admiration I stood still. Fhe threw her
self into my arms her arms fell arouud my
neck and such a kiss she planted full on
my lips 1 My face was in a blaze. I felt
as if I had been stewed in honey, with
lavender fur flavoring.
She repeated the kiss the uiuuiScenl
little angel ! exclaiming
'Dear Richard ! How delighted I am
that you have come at last.'
I was d'jnib. My mouth was scaled np
with the sweetness of kisses I dared not
speak lest I should dissolve the t.pell
'Yv e have beeu expecting you for four
whole days ! Only think what a period of
suspense ! went on the soft voice of the
lady, as, clasping my haud she drew me
unresistingly to a phrcton iu wating. 'There
make yourself easy. I'm going to diivo
In t it pleasant to be waited on, Richard t
The arch browu eyes sought mine, as
drawing up the fur lined robes, my. com
pauion shook the reins over the white hor
ses, and we were whirling rapidly away
'Papa is so anxious to see you once
more, Richard ; but his rheumatism is worss
to-day, and he could not drive down. Wil
liam is absent on an errand lur the btido
Rut I would come. I wanted so much to
be the first one to fjpejt you, Richard 1 Al
ico is so beautiful ! indeed, you ought to
he the most grateful man alive.'
'I I believe I am!' exclaimed I, as
reaching up her sweet face, the little" en-
ch-intrcfs gave me another kiss whieh
teis time repaid with compound interest,
and then blnthed to think of it.
t tnis moment the phrcton stopped at
toe door of a Cue mansion, on an aristocrat
street, and mechanically, I alighted and
lifted out my companion. The hall door
was open. The clasping hand of the youn
lady drew me within the vestibule, her mu
sical voice called softly at thu door of a
boudoir, 'Alice ! Richard has come !"
Instanly the door flew epen, and a dark
haired, bccutiful woman cutno forth.
f-he gazed at uie an iu.stant with a mingled
fervor aud shyness, absolutely bewildering.
Vetily, I was a favored individual.
An elderly gentleman now came forward
and saluted me calling mo his dear son.
and cutting short everything I intended to
say, by hia joyful volubility.
I ho foldiug doors scperating the sitting
room and parlors were thrown open. I
heurd the subdued hum of voices, and
rustling of heavy silks; and waiting iu the
covered arch of an east window, I saw a
clergyman in gown aud bands.
The elderly gentleman took the hand of
the dark-haired Alice, and placed it in
mi be.
'Take her,' he said, 'aud may GoJ pros
per you! e will have the most impor
tant thing first, and dinucr afterwards. The
guests are alrcrdy impatient.'
I glanced at Alice's dress j it was a) bri
dal white, r.ad her beautiful hair was
crowned with a wreath of orange blossoms.
The sight gave mo a tremor. I felt weak
and faint. My palor must have Alice: for
she clutched my arm wildly, and gazed in
my faco with painful anxiety.
n hat is it, Richard ? Are you ill '(
Merciful Heaven ! Helen look at him ! He
is ill V
'It is nothing nothing !' I gasped ; 'on
ly I cannot cannot marry you ! I '
'Oh, heaven !' cried Alice, iu horrified
dismay ; and eeing that she was about to
fall, I clasped my arm around her for sup
port.
At this moment tho hall door wag open
ed, and turning at the eouud, I saw, with
my own eyes, iny second self enter the
room ! My exact counterpart, Richard
Smith, No. 2.
His fieroe eyes took in the scene at one
swooping glance. He rushed to me with'
wild ejaculation, and tearing the half-
fainting Alice from my arms, he planted his
firm grasp on my throat. I put tny hand
on the same locality of his body.
' hat are you doing V he thundered in
my ear.
What are you doing V I thundered ia
response.
your life shall pay the furleit ?' ho ex
claimed with mad vehemence. 'The man
who has dared to win Alice Hereford's
love shall die !'
'Gentlemen," interrupted tho sweet voice
of her whom they had calld llullen, 'bo
patient ; thero is some mistake. Which
one of you is named Richntd Smith?'
'I am !' replied I.
'I am !' replied my counterpart.
'Rut which of you is Richard Smith the
son of Archibald Smith.'
'I am,' said my second self
'And I am not,' s:iid I ; :ny father was
named Robert.'
Helen looked at mo iu doubt, evideutly,
how to treat me after what had occurred.
Finally, she held out her hand.
'I beg your pardjii Mr. Smith; ic was
all a cureless mistake ot my own, can you
forgive me V
'I thought cf the kisses she had given
mo, nnd wished the sutuo mistake might
be made over ngnin, though I was wise
.enough not to make that thought known.
Iiet mo explain,' she continund, frankly.
'We were expectiug my brother Rich
ard home from the South, where he has
been some four or five months past ; and
were quite sure that he would arrive ou the
train whieh brought you ; he has for some
years been engaged to Miss Ilarcford and
tho marriago ceremony wus to take place
immediately on his arrival. I went down
to the depot to welcome him, and because
of the striking similitudo in your personal
appearances, I mistook a stranger fur my
brother. That is all. Brother Richard,
Mr. Smith is entirely blameless of any
wrong. We gave him no timo.for expla
nation. Let me present you to each other
as friends.'
My counterpart shook haud3 with mi,
and begged my pardon for dislocating mv
necktie. I granted it, and begged h's
pardou for committing a depredation on
his necktie.
And then at sign from the elderly gentle
man, we all walked into the drawing room
where, in a brief spaeo of time, my counter
part was tho husband of his blushing Alice
I ho acquaintance so singularly begun
with the Smith family, soon ripened into
friendship, aud become oue of the most
precious of life's blessings to me.
Helen Smith had kissed mo and she
could not forget it. If a man can cret a wo
man to thiuk of him it hardly mattei's in
what nay he has claims on her, ftud so i
was in my case, i oencve -tlial 1 never
met Helen but she bluihed at the memory
which sfolc over her.
Three months after our first meeting she
kissed mo again, and called me "DcarRich-
urd." And this time sho was well aware
that she was not addressing her brother.
is it a loitunate or uulortunnto thinr to
haven counterpart? When I think of
tho genteel boarding house keeper, I sr.y,
"No;" but when I look at Helen, nod re
call the circumstanocs of our introduction,
I urn accustomed to answer ''Yes."
oino Hoae-macb Fun.
We thought of describing, this week,
says an exchange, different kinds of forfeits
that may bo exacted iu parlor taiue that
call for -them, but we picked up this little
deecsiption of ''Potato Pantomimes" in the
Iltarh and Home, and conclude that our
young readers may prefer it :
''Potato Pcntomiuies" may be as old as
the hills but I confess not to have heard of,
or seen them until lately. So perhaps, you
have not. Take a good-size potato with a
smooth skin; cutout nose, eyes, and nouth;
tw3t curled horse hair into the shape of
a wig and whiskers or moustache, aud fast
en on with pins; then make a hole for tho
foreSnger to go iito ; this gives tho head a
throat. Wrap a bit of cloth, a handker
chief, or what not round the hand, arrang
ing one corner of it around the thumb,
and another around the secoud fiuger. Then
jou have a little man, with hands and arms,
Capable of bowing nnd moving his lead.
Make a screen, let four or five youngsters
he behind, it, each with their potato char
acters, and as they say the words of the
charade, burlesque or tragedy, let these po
tato men perform. It is capital fun, aud
beats Punch and Judy out of the field.
Potato men have auiiuble dispositions.
They are generally friendly, fond of shak
ing hands, embracing and nodding their
heads oordially at each other. They have
also a thoughtful way o rubbing their
foreheads, that is very funny. Sometime
they fight, I admit, but they dou't bang
each atber all the time as VunoU aud Judy
'ocs. Try them.

Thsre is a loud call for womnn in Wash
ington Territory. A thousand virtuous
girls, writes ono who lives there, are want
ed. In the county where the correspon
dent resides there are four hundred men
and only tweuty-thrco adult white women.
The region is fertile, nud farmers raise fifty
bushels of wheat to the acre. Yet, what is
all this worth ? "For," says tho correspon
dent, "the farmer cnter3 bis dark house at
night, has to light his own fire and cook
his own supper, without a soul to talk to or
io cheer and encourage him. He may be
miles Iroiu his nearest neighbor. This con
tinues day alter day nnd week after week.
Ou Sunday ho must- wash and mend his
owu tlothcs. This is what all hav to do
who settle on a piece of land, unless they
are married. Men can't stand it." In some
cases Indian women are takiug for wives,
so great is the demand. Hero is an open
ing for tho thousands of unprotected East
ern girls who can hardlysupport themselves
and whose hopes of marrago are worth lit
or nothing. Tho east is overstocked with
girls. In the great West there is a shocking
scarcity of them. These are, or ought to
be, valuable facts to enterprising girls every
where. Erie Di2'iitih.
