Mr. aud iovio'' a Mrs. Woodford wtic en ctiiiGJeniial nia'.riuioiiial chat over their It tt-a tr! l dessert, aud d:scu5-!iDg at some length the an teceuenta ana probable lu;ure ui a cousin, Mr. Ilicbard DrougLton, who bad latelj dropped down on them, act from the cloud, but from a Liv eried eipresd traia. This geaile man had in Liu youth been "crossed ia lore." Always a musical enthu siast be bad become attached to aa amiable girl, a young concert binder, who was tbe niaiostaj cf tier moth er the widow cf a captaia iu the army and some jouogereisterr; acd having himself not made a fair start in life, the elders of baib families rose up in arms against the alliance. Mrs. Woodford, cf nearly the same age as Cousin Dick, hai leeu lis confidant in their toy "aflw? girl tlayp, bad pjmpatbized warmly with his disappointment, without very pre ciselr understanding bow it bad come about, and was now assuring ber fcu.-band thai the attachment Lad been a far more serious affair than very youthful fancies generally are. It was true the gentleman had so far consoled bimsell as to marry another lady ; though it was reported tbat be bad wedded a tbrew who bad not made him supremely happy. But Le bad lost his wife sometime before ieaviag Australia; aad no w, after a so journ cf nearly twenty year3 in tbe colonics, be bad returned to England with something more tbau a compe tence. "Hal what has lecocue cf Mi.-s Clifton ?" asked Mr. Woodford. "That I do not know," returned the lady. ' Clifton was only her profes sional name ; ber real one 1 quite for get ; therefore, it from any circum stances sbe passed into private lile, it would not be eary to track ber. Dick called ber Alice to me." "Probably sbe is also married," said Mr. Woodford. 'Possibly," replied his wife, though women are lit ore con-tan: than men ; ai.d tbougb she ceased to answer Dick's letters, and really brought bin iuto a sia'.o of misery which drove bini cut of England. I never tbcngbt tie fault was quke her own." While Mrs. speaking there oousord was yet was a knock at tbe KrouL-titon was an- coor, aud Mr. counced. "Why did you not come to dia cer?" cried Mr. Woodford, rising to greet Lis visitor. "But we can have the Iamb brought lack," he added. "TharJks,tbaaks,"said Mr. Brough ton ; "but I dined at tbe hotel. I am sure I ought to apologise fjr call iag at such a time, and for having brought Dandy with me." Dandy was a terrier, acd his mas ter's almost inseparable companion. "Now Dandy, behave! and go and beg pardon for both of us. Say we kuow we are two unmannerly coloui al boors, at present unfit for oud to cietv." Very much as if the sagacious ani mal understood every word of this address, he approached Mrs. Wood ford, aud sat on his haunches in a beggingat.itude. "He means biscuit," said the lady with a laugh, and suiting the action to the word she gave him one, with a caressing pat into the bargain. "Seriously, however," said Mr. Broughton, "I would hot have come at such an hour, but I wanted so much to tell you that at last I hare found lodgings which I think will just suit roe. Or rather, I should say tbat Dandy found them for me." "Dandy! Well, he is a clever dig. He will talk next, I suppose. But," continued Mrs. Woodford, "at present bis master must explain." "It sounds ridiculous to talk of such trifles," replied ber cousin, "but for tbe lost three or four days ever since tbe hot weather set in, I have felt quite interested io a shop in your neighborhood mainly, I think, from tbe humanity displayed by the own er in setting a large bowl of spark ling water by the door for tbe con venience of the poor, panting dogs, fur which Dandy has bat-n grateful more than once. It is a music ware house on a small scale; but where they also sell fine ornaments and ladies' Berlin wotk aud so ob." "I know tbe shop," interrupted Mra. Woodford ; it's kept by a wid ow end her maiden si-tcr, who seem very euperior people." ' "Oh.I'ru glad you know the plac;," continued Mr. Bronghton. "Well, sec ESTAULISHED, 1 8 12 PA., WEDNESDAY, t bis afternoon as ususf l waited, look ing ititi the ebop inflow wbi!o I'andy quenched bfj thirst, and wit-bins I could decidi on something to purchase by wayi of liquidating my d.ir's debt, wheti . I observed a card which intimated there were apartments to let. There were di rections to knock at tbe private door; but feeing me linger on the pot longer than usual, Dandy bad enter ed tbe shop, and whet 1 followed to look after him I saw him planted firmly near an inner door and accept ing tbe caresses of a little girl about seven years old, as if ke had known ber all Lis life. 1 made inquiries about tbe apartment. and found they cor.f-istcd of the first floor, a nice bed room, and pleasantf sitting room ; attendance witb good cocking guar anteed, and no other lilodgers takes. Of course I went up qtairs to look at the rooms, Dandy loading the way with tho caciue gravity you remark ed in biui tbe other ti&y. He jiimi ed on a chair to look but of the win dow, and then on tho! scfa, as if to examine the softness f the cushions and Gnaliy gave a little yelp, which seemed to say : '"Master this will d; here we are qpite at home." Even the mistress ot tbe Louse, Mrs. Gray, laughed at the rident coateut mf ut of the dog. Hoi what charme 1 me was there was nofrebuke for my poor Paady'rf jumping on ti-e furni ture ; and remeaiberiag beetles tho bjwl of water, I legan to lic-lieve that Dandy would j be sumethin more than tolerated : in the boui-e. Accordingly it was with a gfjod h-.ipe that 1 ioiima:ed that my dog was my constant companion, aad that I trusted Lis pres-eoce would tot be ob jectionable." i "Ob, sir," eaid tbe widow, "we ot.ly lost a dear old dog within these three months; and for own poor pet's sake if Lr ootLing ele we woaid be kiud to a dog. A for my chil dren, I belic'Ve they take after their auat ; and mv t'Ker dotes upon dogs." ' I "Ah. it was tho maiden bister, I dare say, who was the mistress of ire atneated d.'g, said Mrs oodford. 'I Lave some recollection of peeiorr a verv old black retriever iu tbe shop."" "So doubt it was the same. I un- der.-.tacd the sister gives music les- sons, though at present she i a lioli-.liv staving at the takiug seaside with friends. There ia another ad vantage in the?e lodgings," contin ued Mr. Brought"!! ; "the bou-ie ba iog a musical warehouse, and ou3 of tho family evidently murical, I aai io hopes '.hut tbey will not object to tny violiu practicing any more than to Daody fur an iumate. What I want now is comfort, to enjoy myself afixr my own iatcioD, ana opportunity iori aoicg some some iitue oojjia tne woria. when what seems to mo the fitting occasion o iters, iiveye.trs more a; tbe Antipodes aud 1 mibt have come home a richer man; but per haps at that time health might Lave been shattered by over-toil, and I should have been less able even than now n turn into new grooves of life and re: is, my air-" r.'ibits ol culture.

''Indeed, 1 hone you will," t-jtca- lated hus-l.and and wife together. "If we come loo often they must turn u.s out must tfcey not, Dandy V said Mr. B.-oughton, speaking to and caressing his dog; aad then Le add ed, turning to Lis cou-iu : "By the by, I venture to give you as refer ence to my respctabili'.y, responsibili ty, Ac." "And I will give you a good char acter, Dick, I promise you." replied Mrs. Woodford, "and what is more, I wiil recommend Dandy to Mrs. Gray's specis.1 regard. He certaioly is the cleverest dog I ever sow. Look at him now wagging his tail at me, as if Le understood every word I was saying !" "Spoken just like the cousin Mag gie of early days," said Mr. Brough ton, with a certain tremor in hi? voice which proved that hi3 feelings were touched. "Always full of symDathy acd thoughtful kiuduess. Vet even you can hardly tell what a friend Dandy has been to mc through years cf loneliness." "Yes, I can, Dick," said Mrs. Woodford ; "if I had not a pack of children to tbibk about, 1 am quite sure I would want dogs or four-foot ed peta cf some sort." Oak a fortnight has passed, but Cousin Dick seems as comp'e:c!v ia stalled in his new lodgings as if he bad otcup'edj them for months. His most chetishable personal be longings were all unpacked and ar ranged about Lis room according to his own taste and fancy. A few well-worn books which he Lad taken from England in bis youth, still held a place of honor, though they were now flabktfd by many fresher look ing volumes; and an old and cher ished violin rested ia one corner, and helped to give the silting room r.s in habited look, though writing matcti als near the window and newspapers lying about contributed to the effect, " Over the mantelpiece ia Lis bed room he had arranged his store of warl.ko weapons a sword, which Uicbard Broughton had certainly never used, but which he valued as the gif. cf a dear lrieod ; pistols and revolvers wbich be looked upon as protectors ia many a perilous journ ey, and a boomerang brongbt to England as a curiosity. Mr. Broughton bad finished his breakfast, and was etjojing his morning newspaper; but be had been to the opera the uiht before, and the melody cf aa air which de lighted him still haunted Lis ear, and evea disturbed tbe rythm cf the very j didactic article he was reading. He was not much disturbed by Mrs. i Gray's knocking at the door; she came, as she usually did every morn ing, io receive his orders for dinner. "You manage my dinners so nice ly for me," said Mr. Broughton in answer to seme niiggestiocs of his landlady, "that I think I cannot do better than to leave all arrangements to you. But do sit down ; I want to thank yon for taking care of my dog Ia?t night. I hope be was cot troub lesome to you ?" "Not in "the leaot," juil Mrs. Gray; V . OOTOliEU 10, 1S77. "when once be B-(s?rtaiipd that you really were uot in the bouro, be -ct-tled down quietly acd played with tbe children till they weot lo bed." "I am so glad your children are not afraid cf him," observed Mr. Croughlon. "Oh the are too Will used to d-iir and to pet3 in general to be afraid of a gentle creatnre like your Dandy. In fact, my difficulty is keeping tbern out of your rooms. Ally you re member, Dandr took to her the first thing Ally wanted to come in see tbe dog just cow.

"I'll net be jealous be cause it's my dog she wants to see not me; and there was a little laugh at Dandy being such a favor ite. When the rora d or was opened, sura enough there Ally was found vvaitiog, but not alone; ber brother, a curly haired urcbin twj years her junior, had bold of her hand; and both were evidently in expectation of being alio'.ved some little frolic with the dog. "Come io, niv dears come ia," exclaimed Mr. Droughtoa; DAQdy will be most glad to see you, and will eh' you some cf tis eeeomplieh tnents, if you like." Though a little shy at firs: with the "strange gentleman," whom they had been taught in a v.gac sort ot a way to reverence, aad for whose comfort they were t'jid to refrain from noise, the sby nes soon wtre off, when !tv found that Dandv's mas- tor was as wiliingto te their playmate as Da- dy himself. For their dtlec ta:i)Q tbe dog went through his most admired tricks; he jumped over a stick, he allowed of mimick shoot ing and acted tbs dead dog, he beg ged f'jr a piece cf breed, but could not be induced to eat it till be wa? a.H.-ured that it was paid for. More over he howled a note in unison i;h the oce his nias'.cr played on the vio- an; but Drobablv' without meanirjfr to iruply admiration cf the latter formaace. per- A less keen obst rver than a fond aud widowed mother was likely to be, might if contemplating this li'.'Je scene, have felt pretty sure that, fond as Kicharu Broughton was of Lis dog, it had not exhausted all Lid eeoaeitv for losing. Bv neoiile who have never bad their hearts thrilled j - j - i . by the mvstery cf a canine attach ment be bad cfien been ridiculed for the iuteusitv cf his affection for Dan dy aad when he spoke cf a "dog love" as bung the only ideal cf his life tbat had ever Leen real'Z.-a, lew people understood him. But i'rs. Urav saw at a glance that he had a natural love for children, nau proba njr for ad helpless creatures, and : considering all the circumstances of her household, sbo thought herself most fortunate in ber lodger. l.t is astonishing how soon pleasant habits may be formed. Before the next week had passed it became quite the custom cf the children to icome to Mr. Broujhton's room at Broughton's least once a day, ostensibly to play with Dandy ; but alio they brought their toys to show to Dandy's mas ter, BDd chattered away as bright, eager fresh-hearted children are pret ty sure to do, with those whom, by some instinct, they at onco recognize as friends. Dandy's caciae predeces sor in the honse, I epy,was a frequent subject cf conversation. Her ac complishments were described, though admitted to be fewer lhau Dandy's, end her death aud burial dwelt on with some pathos. Aud one day little Ally came into the room hugging a thick photograph al bum in her arms. Sbo had brought it for the express purpose of showing poor Topsy's I.keLtss. Topsy had been photographed a number of times ; once t ccupying aa easy chair with something of the dig nity of a judge ; another time as a conspicuous membif of a group ; and Ias.ly by the side of a lady w ho had her band on her head. "And who is the lady ?" inquired Mr. B.ougbtoa, trying to speak with a calmness he did not quite feel. "It does not look like your mother." "Oh.no! Why, it is auntie!" ex claimed little Ally ia a toue that im plied wonder tbat be could for a mo ment have taken it for Mrs. Gray. "Then Topsy was fond cl auntie, aad auntie was fond of Topsy, I sup nr. j. tr i h ! n 'F In d I V H P ftll hf 4 - could about this auntie. The little girl nodded her Lead by way cf reply, and thea said : "Auntie did cry so much when Top sy died. She was aunties own doggy." "And did you cry ?"' asked Mr. Broughton. Another nod cf the Lead ; but the ebiid exclaimed : "Not so much as auntie auntie cried natil her eves were quite red." "Aud is this portrait very much like auntie ?" asked Mr. Broughton. "Yes; but she never wears such sleeves aslhose now. I'll show you Ler new photograph :' and the little fingers rapidly turned over tbe leaves aud found a likeness taken only the other day. Mr. Broughton rtcoj- nized the same sweet face, though it showed that seven or eight years had probably passed betweea the time this photograph had been taken and the other. ''And what is auatie's name ?" in quired Mr. Broughton with forced composure. "Auntie!" said the little girl, as il that word was quite sufficient; but added a moment after, as it tbe thought cf more information being required bad ju3t come to her : "She is Alice, and I am Alice; on ly they call cie Ally. Auntie is so good," the child continued ; "mother says that she is tbe best auntie that ever lived And I mutt le good too, because I have got her caxe." "Qaite right, my darling," said Mr. Broughton, giving the child a fatherly kiss. "But run away now, for I have letters to write. Will you leave me tbe album ? I should like to look at Top.-y again though I dou't thick she wa; much like Dandy. "Do you ?" "Not a bit !" cried the child, tnp piag off gleefully ; aad leaving Mr. Broughton w ith his heart stirred in a manner it bad not beea Lrmany years. It wai true that be Lai Utters .0 il Tf "Ti I ATlOl' IO write, but it was half an hour before he touk a pvn in his band. The first thing be did was to draw forth a powerful magniSo glass, and by it means to study the face cf the lady with the dog most narrowly. Yea ; ho had not a shadow of a doubt that this dear ' aunty," tbe maiden sister cf Mrs. (J.-ay of whom he heard was the love cf his youth, the Alice Clif ton of tLe concert room, lb Alice Croft of prira'e life.

That she should have relioqniirhed her profer siooal career without having married, puzzled him. Dut he bad incidcntal- Iy heard from the children that "auntie ' was coming borne to mor row ; and lefjre many days should pass, be should t-ertairJy find out a thing or two which must Quence his future. Kraut!. I r, . A s if to confirm his already strong belief beyond the power of momenta ry cavil, the next time he went down stairs be observed a letter on the ta ble, which, on looking if it were in tended for himself, be saw tbe ad dress "Miss Croft." The next day Alice Croft returned horu; and es Broughton was tak ing bis coffee, he could hear the chil dren's merry shouts of welcome, at which, by-thc-by, Dandy set up a short bark, as if he thought he too had a right to join in the demonstra tion, j ' I will do nothing Lurredly,"! thought Mr. Brougbtou to himself ; I "after twenty rears cf separation 1 ! can wait for a few davs surelv. Af- ler all, if we meet on the stairs she wiil not recognizs in vue the slim, smooth feced boy I believe she re members." Ami thinking thus, Le gianced at himself in tbe chimney glas; notiag the bronzed weather- beaten face and long, thick beard streaked With w hite tbat it reflected. "I wouder though if my name will s'.iike her?" he continued, pondering. "Perhaps cot, and yet il may." Now the fact was, Alice Croft had not as yet heard the new lodger's name, tor her sister bad at hrst mis understood it, and bad written it "Iiawton" in communicating the news that the rooms were let. Three or four davs passed away before Alice had any inkling cf the mistake. Meanwhile, Richard Broughton had seen her unseen himself more than once, and had even heard her voice sp?akicg carelessly lo the children. How it thrilled oa his ear and con firmed his resolution! It was the early twilight of a sum mer evening. The shop was closed, and Mrs. Gray bad gone out after seeing the children ia bed. Brough toa felt that the hour had come, acd ringing his bell, asked the servant who answered it if Miss Croft were at borne and disengaged. "Yes, sir," said tbe maid; she is ail alone in tbe parlor." "Thea be so good as to give her my card, and ask if I mar wait upon ber." But Brougbtoa followed tbe sev ant down stairs, and was ready to avaii himself of tbe permission given in a Kiiaale. The servant thinking it her duty, lighted the gas before leaving the room ; bat sbe left it burning low, so that the lingericg daylight prevailed ovarii. Though the reception room was but a little parlor behind a shop, 'here was an air of refinement about its appointments, and the out-look in to a mere yard was masked by a bal cony full cf blooming and odorous plants. The door which led into the shop remained open, probably for tbe sake cf air ; but to such a passionate lover of music as tbe visitor was, the s;gut oi two or tnree pianos and a harp and guitar was rather suggestive of delightful ideas than of anything else Alice had risen from her chair, aad advanced with outstretched hands to meet her guest ; but she did not seem kble to find a word of greeting. 'Alice !' exclaimed Mr. Boughton, if I may still call you so, do I seem like one risen from tbe dead '!" "Ob, no," she replied; "I never thought you were dead." But as she spoke there was a faltering of her voice which showed that she was ag itated. By this time both were seated, though a little way apart- Mr. Broughton drew his chair nearer, and saidsofi.lv: "Alice, I come to ask if it is too late to mend our broken chain ?" "But you are married ; I heard that long ago," exclaimed Alice with dignity. "You have no right to the past" "I have been a widower these two years," was the rejoinder. Tbe explanations which followed need not be described in detail. ''Tbe letter kept tuck, ts'tm iueaejge.

May I ? for I love you so much." Anil as she spoke, Ally raised her face for a kiss, and put her arms around his neck. Will not "Uncle Dick," do as well?" cried Broughton, giving the child a warm hug. "Don't yon understand that I shall be really Uncle Dick t morrow "Ob, how nice!

Peter Lamb belongs to the Arioa Club, and the other night he sent around to tbe club room a long, nar- i row box and a lot of rope. Some of I the fellows got to examining the box and wondering what it meant before Peter came, and one of them fonnd that the box was movable, and that the screw-beads which appeared to bold it tightly in its place were shams. i So a lot of them got to work, and taking ell the scam screw-beads, in serted some genuine screws, wbich bold the end ia firmly. When Peter came be said that a friend of his had taught him how to do the Indian box trick, and he was going to give an exhibition to the club that evening. He asked a couple of fellows to satis fy themselves tha; the box was secure, aad they Baid they were certain that it was. "Now," said Peter, "you pat me ia there and tie the lid down firmly with the rope, and the whole crowd go out for fifteen minutes, aad I'll bet jou $10 I'll ba out of the box." So Peter got in, aad they fixed tbe rope, and asked him if it was all right, aad be said it was; and the crowd left and went over to the drug store. Oa their war njMstairs, as tbey came back, they heard s somebody kicking against some boards and osing the most frightful language ia a surpass ed voice. They entered the room and perceived that tbe noie came from Peter's box. Tbe coDjurer heard them coming, and he savagely demanded that the box should be untied. They did so, and, kicking oJ tbe lid, Peter leaped up, dashed to the window, thrust his head out, and for a minute or two gasped for breath. When he Lad tally recovered he seized the poker, banged th box into splinters, and heaved it out into tho back yard. Then Mr. Jones said to him : "Didn't get oat, hey?" No answer from the magician, who sat on a chair in the corner lookinj mad. "How do you do that Indian box trick, anyhow ?" asked Jones. Silence from the wizard. "Does the Indians do it the same way rou do ?" Scornful silence from th digitator. presti- "I don't see anything about the any trick any more wonderful than other trick. Then Peter got up, acd going close to Jones, and shaking his fist in Jones' face, said in a quiet but determined voice : "You mean, sneaking, mutton Leaded idiot, I believe you fastened up the end of that box, and if I knew it for certain, I'd ram you full cf powder ana blow rou from here to Peru, you pigeon-toed fool !'' icen i eter sent in his resignation, and now he is studying up some new variety oflegerdemain. Mr. Grant's BeneTolewe. Of Mrs. ex-President Grant this story of unostentatious benevolence is told : "George S. Joice, cf Una- dilla, served faithfully through the war of the rebellion, and early in the President s erst term was appointed a door-keeper at the capiiol, or Exec utive Mansion. He remained there until some three and a half years ago, then sickened aad returned to Una- dilla, to linger through the balance cf life with consumption. He lived some twelve or fourteen months, and died. While in Washington be at tracted tbe favorable attention of Mrs Grant. His father's family were in very limited financial circumstances, and George wa3 worth nothing but an irreproachable character and good name. Mrs. Grant, ia some way knew of these conditions, and daring the entire time that Mr. Joice was ly ing sick in Unadilla she sent him each month a check for $100 until be died. There was never any bluster over the matter, and few people in Unadiila know of it to day. l.efal Kwwwleware. A man walks three miles aa A horse trots seven. Steamboats run eighteen.

Another Las seen better days ; be was once a happy busbaad and father. His wife went down to the grave uncomplaining, and soon a sweet golden-haired little girl lay at ber side.

When found he was eating corn from an empty car, where some kernels had been left scattered oa the floor. Tbe next in review is a man who had formerly been employed ia the Frecd maa's bureau; be has a wife aud four children.

Atanihe! Kerry flrker.. A singular discovery was recently made in the mountains, six miles southwest of Great Bend, Pa. A party of berry pickers, numbering six teen, while passing through tbe mountains near Susquehanna Sta tion, on the line of ihe Erie railway, had their attention directed to a small clump of bushes, near where thev were picking berries, by tho fierce barking of a dog which accom panied them. Two of the party, George Brick and Joseph Hilferty, went to see what was the matter. As they ceared the dog, it barked more furiously. Walking cautiously on, they were startled by a loud and continuous rattling, which at once suggested rattlesnakes. They did not go any further, but, marking the spot, returned and informed the com pany. Tbe rest cf the gentlemen, four in number, each seizing a club, followed Brink aad Hilferty iato the thicket. Tho dog was still in the same place, barking furiously. Club ia hand, the six descended a small declivity, near the bottom of which they saw a terrible picture. Lying on stones and sticks were hundreds of huge rattlesnakes, coiled and rat tling fiercely. The men, not caring to approach too near, began stoning the reptiles from a distance. They succeeded in killing thirty-nise, the rest, thought to Lave been several hundred, mak ing their escape into the recks and under brush. Tbe rattling having ceased, the victors walked up to where the dead snakes lay, where, to their astonishment, they descried tbe dead body of a man, apparently for ty years old, lying with his face downward, between stones and bro ken limbs cf trees. He bad undoubt edly wandered into the den. L'pon inquiry it was ascertained that a crip pled tramp had passed through the neighborhood some six weeks be fore. Hold Oat Bay..
