If var there was another prrsttl In the wide world, like A line Achley, or one rniiijed fua, miaeliief, and frolicking wide, that belter than she did, I'd like to are her. She ould niake one IhiikIi fur hours in spite of one's notion or propriety and good seti.e. ow, A line wa not lianusoiiie. neitiier was he downright homely. Her dark hazel eyes were briiultil of inimbivf; and mini kief, the auuey lellow, coiiIU not ne content witu 0ilit.it' her eves, but must neeoa go itiraing around oue oi' the sweetest little mouths that ever was marie. Well, tlnl sattie Alir.e was Llersed with a bachelor uacl who resided Tor many years beneath her father liociiilnhle roof, and who, alter autl'er.ng iimny years with inflammatory rlieuinutism, tiled jtit on ear ironi ine nine my sttiry opens, leaving Aline. Hia oei, uie bulk of his property, which consisted of tip aartls oi ten iboiiFuud dollurs. A line was an only child j therefor no pins were spared to lavish on her all that fond heurts ulid aealth rould bestow. She bad s coiiMii, Mrs. Appleton, living at somn dis tance, horn she hud never visited since her m.iiTiagi-, hut longed lo sen. After much teasing and coaxing, her parent were at length prevailed upon to prt with their dar ling, for st leuKl ahole fortnight, to make the long promised virit. Mrs. Appleton tiusoanti ownea a large farai i and all farmers' wives, or most of Item, have to live in large, uncomlurlame, inconvenient, oldTashinned houses, that Kve herself would be ashamed of now-a-days. Hut there are exceptions to all rules aud this was oue of them. Mr. Appleton was obliged to build, for thara was nothing inhabitable on the farm when he purchased it. Thia pleased Mrs. Annleton : for. when he had farming in view he contemplated nothing better than spend ing the remainder ol her days in an oiu worm- eaten bouae. When the Bird's nest was built, she bad her sav (unite remerkuhle, wasn't it ?) so, or course, the house was built in modern style, nest and comfortable, am id a large clump ot evergreen, Oeecn, anil niapie trees, snu was christened the Hird' Nest, or Uobins' Hetreat, receiving its appellation from herds of robins that annually nested among the trees and about the premises. The longanticipated journey was performed mostly by railroad. When within leu miles of ber cousin's home, she was met at the depot by Mr. Appleton with bis beautiful pomes ant carriage, never oiu Aline enjoy a ride butter. The freshness around, the beimiful alieut and rye fields just headed, the clatt, happy bird making the air ring with their melodies, and the sociable, good natured Mr. Appleton made the tune slip away so pleasantly that she could hardly believe, at they drew up in front of the Uatreat, that she had ridden ten mile. Alio had received faint whispering from Mr. Appleton' pen of tbe beauties which sur rounded them, but .aver had they (earned o real now. "I'm so delighted I poor word," thought Aline, she answered Mrs. Appleton' query of "And bow do yon like the liird's Nest, AliueT" Iler first waek danced by merrily. Aline Hitting here and there, finding new beauties even in the poultry yard, which h bad alwai detested until now. "Wbut am I tu dot" said Mr. Appleton, coming into tbe parlor, looking perplexed ud out of humor, interrupting Aline, who bad just settled herself for a food hour practice on the piano, W by, wbut i it t How bonld I know T-' "Sure euough, elf! Listen, and I'll tell von." "All ttention, pleas ma'am," Mid Aline, opening bar uioulh a way (be nan oi listen inir when Mr. Appleton felt out of humor. "Well. Hubert received a letter from hi uncle, Mr. J. rIs.Troiu Boston, sitting, if it would be convenient, h weuld be up to tbe lltrt. on Thursday next, with hi family and a friend of their, Mr. Hlchard Klgin, to spend a few weks.

"Mr, aud Mr. Jarvis' two daughters and rrtenn," answered Mrs. Appleton. "A goodly number for the next few weeks twenty-one.including your humble servant," said A line, with mock solemnity. "1 in to write to pa and ma this evening, and will request them to prolong my visit ; and then and then Pll personate lb girl you are so mncn in need oi. "Yon I" said Mrs. Appleton, shocked be ynnd measure. "I cannot bear to any such arrangement. "1 insist upon it. 'Twill be good sport,' aid Aline. flie all-eventful day arrived. Will and little Km bung on the roadside gate peering down the rotid, waiting impatiently for th long-looked Tor earring that would contain the expected guests. V bis, if we had father s telescope, we could make them out Sooner. 1 do believe they re coming. ' Von rnn into the library, aud get it, whiln t watch." jf And Will was right. - Sore enough, the carriage came rolling aleog at a fine rate ; and there stood Matter .Will on tiploe. telescope in band, looking with all bis might. Inn I that a comical sii:hlT Mid a voice from the carrinew. aa it drew un to the Bate. Then such a peal of" laughter, burst apon the clear mnrnins air e M rt.. A Dnleltn made her appearance on tbe vsranda to welcome ber guests. Aline was op stairs Beenine between the muslin curtains that covered her bedroom window. "Thev are rather stylish." thought sue. Isn't this nice place to visit, ma?" suggested Laura, as they wer making prepa rations to retire for the night. xrs, aeart and it s fur more rational to spond a few weeks in tbe conntry, with one's relatives, than to go to Saratoga or Niagara Falls, when your father's purse is so limited : besides, if we had gone, as Louise desired, to one, or both or those pWces, and invited Me. Llgin to accompany ns, ten chances to one whether, with the excitement, balls, and other amusements that attend such places, he would have proposed far Lnaise's ham) in marringe. as soon as he will ber iu this quiet little nook." Pehsw 1" exclaimed Louise pettishly; "ten chances lo one ir he ever does j moreover I heard him tell pa that he intended to visit Niagara Falls before returning to the city." ' Well," persisted Laura, "yon can't help sdmiriii.- this lovely little nook, ns ma pleases to t.nn it ; and no doubt we shall find plenty to nnitise ourselves with." "Great amusement, indeed.'' said Louise, "to tnnpe one's life away in this secluded spot. I'd a great sight rather remuined at home. It' ton bid." And tear of vexation came to her eye as she thought of her many fashionable scqnaintanccs at Saratoga enjoy ing a round or gayuty. "That's nice-looking waiting-maid or M rs. Appleton's," said Mrs Jsrvia, Aline left the room, After seeing that they needed nothing. "Yes, mn but lite idea of her dressing so absurd. Why, really, one aonld take her for the mistrers in&tead'of the maid ! Just think of her wearing a bird's eye linen apron !" "The fact of it is," said Mrs. Jai vis, "work ing girls now-n-days put themselves up al such a height, and demand such exorbitant prices for their services, that they cau afTord to urcs oeiter lliun their employers. "Come, come, wife, it's hiah time the girls were aslucp I I'm afruid they will not be up in the morning early enough to see the sun rise above the hills ; and 1 cun assure them it is worth the while, Tor it is a clorions siirht : and ir we had to go forty miles to see it. and pay lor it, we should not consider it time nor money thrown away," cried Mr. Jarvi from tbe adjoining room. At 1 bave said before. Mr. Jarvis and family were from the city of Iioston and for many years Mr. Jarvis bud speculated largely in produce; and it was said he had accumula ted quite a fortune. Hut. be that as it may, with bis own ami his family's extravagance. It soon VaiiiMied, however large or small it mi lit have been; and, instead of retiring from business as was generally reported, he merely wished to keep out of bis creditor's way until he could make a shift t appease their demands. Mr. Richard Klgin's fattier Was warmly at- tached to the Jai via family, so much so that be insisted upon having Louise, his favorite, for a daughter in-law ; and as Hichsrd was young man of good sense, ami quite prepos sessing, and wilbsl had considerable property in hi own righl. the would-be match was as anxiously looked for on the other side. Now, there was nothing lacking to make all happy save the consent of the gentleman in ques tion. Richard thought ''if at first you don't succeed, try, try again ;" and he did try very hjrd to like Louise, and overlook her many faults, but to no purpose. There was that same selliih, cold, designing hypocrisy blended in all her actions that was quite visible in spite or bis determination to think otherwise- llicbard and Louise were promenudinir the walk around the garden, one eveiiintr, whan. coming suddenly upon Aline, Will, and little hm sealed upon th grass in semicircle. they stepped back a few paces where they could see and not b seen. "Come, Lina, do translate for ns story in French," persisted Will. "Uh, yes! Let it be 'Little lied Riding aloud,'" Said Em. "Capital idea 1" chimed in Will. So they all leuiched; and Aline commenced. not that the children understood French, but they liked to bear her talk so funny. "Il was so like a dove s cooing, they said. "Miss Lauise, what think yon now of Mrs. Appleton' maid?" (aid Richard, after the story wis finished. "I don't know. Shs amuses me wonder fully ; and I dar say she is not what she appear ; but, nevertheless, she seems can tent with her lot. for she goes sieging about tbe hoose from morn till night." After walking about for a whil longer, they returned to th parlor, wber they found Mr. Appleton and Mr. Jarvis enjoying a gain of chess; whil Mrs. Appleton and Mr Jarvis were listening to Laura's playing on th piano-fort. "llow iinpradeot von ar to sty eut after tbe daw wegins to fall I" Mid Mrs. Jtrfis. "Put glu yoo bsve come, for Mr. Apple ton withes ns to sing 'Lily Dale,'" said Lnr. " Yo ar U so plessnlly occupied. I will seat myMlf, and suiok out an th veiand to keen awsr Ik saosouite," wis) Mr. Shjtt He could not tell bow long ha had been ont there. The mnsio bed ceased ; bow and then a light laugh came stealing through tbe p n window. Ha did Sot beml it, so busily was he thinking of Aline. "She isn peeieel picture or my sister in heaven r !, ae mentally, viewing a small miniature. "Mr. Klgih, do come here," rried Laar, ror the third time. "Why, man," laid Mr. Jarvis, as that gen tleman made L.'s appearance, "your thoughts mnst have been buried very deep in the. cloud not to bear your name called so many time." "I beg pardon ; they were not in th clouds, but in baaven," replied he, smiling compla cently. "Very well," saiJ Mr Jarvis, "wa are dis cussing the very grave subject of where we shall spend th mdrrcw. Louise due-lair the shall die of enuvi if (the is Cooped up here another day. Mrs- Appleton has kindly sug gested a ride to the lake ; and, if it meets with your approbation, it is settled that w go." "Nothing will pletse me belter. I've been told that the scenery about (ha Ink is not surpassed in th country," replied Mr. Klgin. "Aline," said Mrs. Appleton, coming into the breakfast room, next morning, where she as busily employed in assisting Will and Km to their breukfast, "I am anxious that you should go with us to the lake. I'm afraid, if you do not gi now. von Will not bar another opportunity before returning home; and yon had better take your sketch book along, for we shall spend most of th day. Mr. Appleton has sent over for the two Mr. Gregorys Slid sister to accompany ot." "I r there ain t Mrs. Appleton s maid ! How provoking 1" said Louise, as Mr. Klein assisted her into the carriage. Jt was a large, old-fashioned family car riage with three seats, Mr. Appleton and Mr. Jarvis occupying the front seat, while Mrs. Jarvis nearly filled up tbe hack seat with her portly dimensions. Mr. K'gin was standing by the side helping the ladies in when Mrs. Applvtnn and Aline came nut. ' I hurdly think there will b room for me," Kid Alius to XI r. Appleton. "Yes, there will ; get in." "Oh dearl" exclaimed Louise; "I'd rther net go t all than be so crowded." Just then John drove around in a demo cratic wagon with the refreshments. "There, I'll ride with John." said Aline. "No, no I" said Mrs. Appleton, with a troubled look. "Sh I Kh ! I'm the maid, and you are the mistress." whispered she. "Ha, ha, ha!" And one of those queer, mysterious expres sions beamed from out her eyes as Richard helped her into the wagon. This arrange ment wus by no means displeasing to John, who more than once forgot his usual "git op" after the (lourisli or the whip. "Let us seat ourselves under the (hade or those trees, and enjoy the scenery nnd the breeze from th lake at the same time," said M r. Jarvis, ' I am so fatigued after such a wires ride, pa, I shull not he able In enjoy anything the rest of the dny," said Louise, wearily. "No, nor let any one else," replied Lanra. ' You are too hard. Laura. Yoaf sister's" nerves are not as strong ss yours, raid ber mother sympathetically. "We have had such a long ride, perhaps we had better partake or th refreshments," suggested Mrs. Appleton. "Ye, wife, you ar right let us, by all means." The repast over, th ladies proposed fish ing. The lines wer soon in readiuess, and they commenced the sport quite in earliest, the two Mr. Gregorys baiting the hooks for Louise and Laura. While Richard was ini tiating Sybil Gregory in the mysterious art. the oltler gentlemen took the nets, and shoved nfl from the shore a piece in a littltt pleitsure bout; nnd the remainder of the party tat on the turf watching them with pleasure. A s,crenm from Louise, us she j rked the line ont or the water with a large mud-turtle dangling from the hook, caused no little mer riment. It soon became dull to the lookers on, so tbey took out their sewing from their reticules ; aad Aline stole quietly away with her sketch-book that eVer cbiisld compan ion In her solitary rambles. Storm-clouds began to loom ap from the north, nud dialaht peal of thunder came roll ing on the air, aud new and then a flash or lightning lit up the Uuaveiia, Before the lit 1 lu party could gat their thing in ship-shape Tor starting homewards, large drops or rain descended in perfect torrents. "Where cau Aline be gone?" asksd Mrs. Appleton. in frightened voice No one had teen her for an hour or more. "You ladiei had better get into th car riage and I will find her," said Mr. Klgin. "No, no ! don't go !" cried Louiso hysteri. cally. "You will vertuiuly be struck by tbe lightuing." "I presume she is safe enough. At any rate, she is neither sugar uor salt," said Mrs. Jarvis, ironically. Richard did not Stop to hear more, but went in quest or her. A frer looking for some time, be found her seuted on moss-grown rock under a large thick hemlock well idiel tared from the rain. So absorbed was she in admiring the wild grandeur of the storm, that sha bad forgotten the time, place, uud even the party on the beach. Her graceful figure, neatly attired in gray dress, aud the lovely wildwood violets that she bail wreuth- ed around her head, making her look too ethereal, and contrasted strangely with the dark greeii hemlock and the roll and tum bling of the water at ber feet, bo thong hi Richard as h gated admiringly on the uu pretending, (oul (peaking face before hiui. 'Queen of the rocks," said ha. at length, "were you sent to govern the storm? If so, wave your magic wand, and still it. for we must leave this fairy like bower, and seek more substantial cover." Aline started ; and a bright pink suffused her checks as she asked : "And wbotftit you hither, Mr. Klgin?" "I ca.oe without being sent," be SalJ anflly folding a woolen shawl around her that Mrs Appleton had provided hini wilb to protect her from the rain. ', It was a real case or spleen, or, may be. as little Km said, nothing more tban a It of the pouts, which kept Louis in her room for three whole day r er the excursion to the lake, besides mating th whole household world or trouble by ruaoiug her and there a her cpricea willed. "She i a greet mocker, herself." , "Hush dearl that fery oauhtf.,, ' Whet ha ruffled our little Bias temper, this Bus afteroooa f Mid Mr. hftgio ltiif ber on th cheek, ' "Oh. bulbing of an? cooMquane " Mid ber mother, quietly.

"Aad what did ihe syT qnoried Mr. El gin. "Oh. sha looked very sober at first 1 thefi she laiiirhed. and said : 'Never mind.' Brit I do mind." Just then Aline cam into th parlor. There was a svmpalhetio look stolen out from pair of sympathising eyes tbey caught ber own. It is a meUncholf f4ct that Richard stop ped tryinif io l.ki. Louise, if he had tried t all j it wat pefrapi stubborn nes or wilfulness on bi perl .that lui liked Aline without try ing. So jt appeared to Mrs. Jarvi when the fart Hecojjrw- known. "Well.?

So, Aline, you can once mora assume your own station in lifa." At the same time be handed her a letter from home, the contents of which she was so anxious to inspect that she did not note the wonder and surprise that were tie. picted on each countenance that looked ao inquiringly at her owa. Airs. Appleton soon eSn ained tlia mvattr to her gut-sts. "Admirable I" cried Laura. "Sha would succeed finely on the stage." They all lauehed end ennaidered it a rnnrl joke, with the exception of Louise, who could not help thinking haw unlady like she had be haved lo Aline; and she knew very well that lbs rest bud noticed it too. "Well," said Aline, luying sid her letter, fter perusing it, "i atui torry to leave this dear llird' Nest of yours. But ma it quite sick, and needs my immediate care. "1 bave come to say good-bye," (aid Mr. Klgin, comiug into the library where Aline waa busily engaged tying np soma book pre vious to starting. She extended her hand with one of her brightest (mile.

Th Cincinnati Gatnite relates an amusing anecdote of a young gentlemen of that city, who suffers from peculiar antipathy to going to bed betimes, and who will never sesk bis conch when he ran woo the drowsy god in ny abnormal position whatever.

He passed through two room ia the dark (he now fait perfectly confident b, was home) until lie came as he supposed, to bis own chamber, liefore disrobind he turned down thn clothes from his couch, and in doing so solicited what felt like the moot h cheek and soft hair of a woman. Alarm seized npon him. Where was he ? what could he do? how escape? He had no time for reflection fores he had permitted his hands in his agitation, to rest upon fare or the lair sleeper she awoka aud screamed, in most piercing alto, et lesst twenty times in as many seconds. He tried to calm her but only increased har terror and unluckily awoke also an elder sis ter, who started Dpon some vocal gymnastics that would bave made her fortune ss a prima donna, Roth starten from their couch, and the younger lady sought protection in the arms of our horo mistaking him far here eter.
