Tlie ptaernul Teat rumlfitther, IVrcy JtTntnu, wan an Eiiulishiiiaii, the yoiiuic brotlier of a noble houe, w ho, to esuipe the woen of yoiiujrer broiherliuod, when a yountr man of 'JO, br'ught himself and hist small por tion to tlie eokny of Pennsylvania. He obtained a jrrant of a larp tract of land in the weetern part of the colony, settled there as a bachelor, and fortunately kept his scalp safe from the Indians. This was a short time before the colonies re volted. He took the popular side, held a major's commission, and distinguished himself at Stillwater and elsewht-re. Years afler the war was over, rather late in life, he married a Miss Ksten, a yomijr Virginia -nticwouuui, who brought him adiiitional pride, but little wealth. Perry never foryvt bis conneetion.bntkfptapa correspondenee with his kinsfolk on the other side of the Atlantic. Ilia son did the same. But when tlie older branch died out. and the title fell to tlie son, he never claimed it. His uncle, his father's elder brother, had joined in cutting off tlie entail, and being spendthrifts both, when the last Lord Orrinjrton died the jauiily estate had gone. The American heir was wealthy for this side of the ocean, but he hud not enough to support a proper state ax a nobleman, and he never claimed his place in tlie peera!e. Neither did the grandson, although he had added to his means by wedding the wealthy Mish Sackville, and he diet! a plain American citizen. As for the great (rntndson, John Sackville Orrintou, sud denly made the head of his family by the death of both parents, he cared not a whit for anything but enjoying life in his accustomed way. He had enough to maintain him ana his sisters in g'si style, and let them wander about during Minimer to Long Branch or Saratoga or the White Snlphur, or where they would, and he was quite content. He was a goodlookiun bachelor of 'Jt, and though nut particularly averse to matrimony, de clared that he would remain single nn after his sisters hail leen married. It was about time that Marian Irring ton was married, if she meant to be mar riisl at all. She was 25, and though a recognized leauty and belie, looked much oliier than she was. Certainly she had classic features, a wealth f hiifh waveing hair, a tine fiirnre, fine manners, and a I style which attracted and secured admir ' ation : but late hours and fashionable nabits had combined to give her an ap- pearan-e of age. She had suitors enough and had refused several offers, really be cause her lovers were not rich. She had but a moderate portion of her own, and did not intend to link herself to any gen tleman who brought no more than love in a cottage. A very prudent young wo man was Misn Otnngton, and theoneshe thought eligible came a long at last. They were at Niagara Falls, at the close of the season, having come there from Saratoga, intending to go from thence to Philadelphia, w here Jhe h-rington man sion stood. Tlie younger sister, Margaret, barely IS, was with them. Tlie thne were standing one day on tioat Island, looking at the mist that rolls up perpet ually from the fiwm below, when a stran ger passed them. He turned, and gaz inir curiously for a moment, came for wanl and offered his hand to John (rr rington. " Jack ! " and ' Elmore '. " were the wonls of n-Mgnition that were inter changed, and then John introduced the rtranger as Mr. Braxton, Mar.aii knew ail about Einnire Brax ton, of w hom she had heard her brother ! speak jf an old college mate at Harvard, ; an eccentric young millionaire, about a I vear older than John himself. She was ! juite familiar with his history. He was ' an only son. His lather had died within a year, and left him a numln-r of houses ; and farms, with stocks and bonds mn ; ning well up in the millions, liesides, ! a vast amount of mining property, scat i tered over the United States, estimated to lie worth a lurve sum. Tlie elder Braxton lonuness lor ourying ins surplus luoney undergrouml.

As for Margaret aha did not enter into onaer SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, the raktiLatioD of anyboly. She was ronxiili'red to be little ui'jre tlian a whoit girl, having jn4 been eruanciptittsl from the ihinrub!e Academy of St. Barna- ban, where, ljedtn in.liwt nrt rexiing and illegible writiru;. siiehuil b-en taught a smattering of the ologies. academical French and schoolgirl music. This her first summer tour. She kauked np to the new comer as a rather mature gentle man, 20 seeming old to 18; but as she heard him and her brother talk she was amazed ami rather delighted at the vast amount of information 'rHjssessed by the big stranger. Braxton had traveled all over Europe and Asia he was in Pales tine when tlie news of his Cither's sud den death reached him and he had been a keen oliserver. Quiet as he gen erally was, and even reserved, he was quite entertaining when drawn out, and little Margaret listened with widely open ed ears, remaining quietly in the back grouml, with nothing to say. Impulsive at times, she was shy in general, and with s pleasant, easy way at home, was bash ful among strangers if they were her seniors. She had not Marian's mauner nor Marian's beauty, though she was neither awkward nor homely. She look ed more like her mother, who had been dark, w hile her sister and brotber ere fair. She inherited one thing from her mother a pair of lare dark iuue! eyes, that at times lit up her face with a strange lustre. Marian put fiirth her whole fascination, and Braxton seemed to succumb to it at once. They all walked Itack to the ho tel, where t rrrintiton and Braxton it was " Jack, my boy," anil "Elmore, old fel low," with them recalled their old col lege scrapes to quite a lute hour. When the party separated for the night it seem ed as tliothrh Elmore Braxton had ln-en long as intimate with tlie rest of the fam ily as he had been years before with Jack. It was soon rumored around who Brax ton was, or rather w hat he was, and he received considerable attention from far seeing fathers and match making moth ers, with mi s lest smiles from spinsters thrown in ; but be clang to Jack and his party, and Marian was triuiuphat. She was st ill more elated when be promised to be their truest in Philadelphia so soon as he had visited a coal mine in Penn sylvania in which he was heavily inter ested. He was to part with tliem at Buffalo, the others taking a different route. The morning of the day he left Buffa lo, Margaret was bite at tlie breakfast table w here the party sat, and John rath er impatiently asked of Marian, " What does keep little Miss Cgly?" Braxton started suddenly, and re peated the last three Wonls of the ques tion. "Oh," cried John, laughing, " I had forgotten that you didnt know our do mestic slang. Tlie name is fastened on Margaret, but it has no reference to her Kaiks. When she was a baby, and was teething, she was rather fretful, and fath er playfully called her "Little Miss Ugly.' It grew into a pet name with all of us, much to mother's disgust. It vexes her, though, and we only use it inadvertent ly, just as it came out now." " Margaret is a nice little girl, though nnfornied as Jet," said Marian, "she is not as impulsive as she used to be. though she is still little more than a child." Peggy's impulses an? good ones Mar ian," said John. " Oh, of course, or she wouldn't lie an Orrington ; but they do lead lo ridiculous conseipueiices sometimes,. Just think of that tramp:" t " Ah ? " said Braxton, inquiringly. " It is commonplace enough. Elmore," ol.iscrved Jack, " but it gare us Iota of fun at the time. Just afterwe were graduated you went off somewhere for a tramping tonr, and I came home, and we all went up to the country house. Margaret was a girl of 12 then, in shot t dresses, and fond of climbing fences and rambling round, which accounts for her rather ro bust health, (irandfather Sackville that was the year liefore he died gave her a $10 gold piece for spending money She didn't like tn break it, and carried it around in her pocket. Off she went the next day to a famous bUcklierry patch we had at one end of tlie place, intending douMiess to eat her fill, child like. She hap jelled to be near the fence, when she saw two ill looking fellowscrouching under the bank the road is rat deep tliere. She hid ainonir some coppice and watched tbein. fearing to let them see her. Presently a young tellow came along whistling. The two tramps sud denly sprang on him. According to Mar garet's acmmnt he was plucky chap, and fought like a tiger, but tlie two tramps were b much for him. They knocked him down, turned out his pock ets, captured his watch, and made off, leaving him faint ami bleeding. When they were gone Peggy came out, acted the encd Samaritan, and wiped the blood off his face w ith her handkerchief. He thanked her and asked who she was. 'Oh, I'm little Miss T"g!y," was her reply. Then, as she thought he was left desti tute, she forced the $10 gold piece in his hand, and by that time, I suppose got frightened at her own boldness. At all events, she ran away, and reached home trembling. When she told her story we all laughed, except grandfather; he was incensed, and declared he wouldn't give her tnything for six months. And now conies the mid part of it. While we were discussim; the matter, unit poking fun at the little girl, in walked our man Pat tick with a letter in his hand. He was very-indignant. 'It is for you. Miss Mar garet. A blagyard beyant towld me to give it to Miss I'gl . I'd hev pounded the tiie of him, only he wsa off like a shit ; an' ponnded it was, anyhow. He looked as v he'd been in a rnction some where the impident crater!' The let ter was opened and had a f 10 note in it and some words written in lead pencil. The suMance of this .vas thanks for kindness, and a statement that the mon ey was not needed, anil so returned, the rnilians having only got some loose change, but that he retained the coin it self as a souvenir. A rattier politetnunp wasnthe?" Margaret hail entered unobserved and heard the last part of the story. He wasn't a tramp," she said. " He had on a plain grayjsuit and a slouched hat, it is true, and he was pretty dusty, bat he was a gentleman." " Margaret always defends that train p," aid Marian. " She went so far then as to say alte'd marry him when she grew set ESTABLISHED 1837. np. What a ri.Iii'nlotw child she was ! "Are yon in the some rainl vet, Mini Margaret?" infrared Braxton, with a j ijoizzicai look. i "He never came twk, to ak me. j Mr. Braxbjn," replied Mancaret bltth- ing ; and there the matter dropped. Braxton said very little during the meal. The story or something else, set him to thinking, and he cast furtive glances at times at the young girl as though he was interested. However, when they all parted at the train, while he shook hands with Jack and Miss Or rington, he merely bowed to Margaret. It was two weeks from that time when Braxton dropped in on the Orrsogtons. As Jack had desired, he broght his traps ior a stay, bat came alone, leaving his body servant behind. He became do mesticated at once, though Jack, Phil adelphia like, carried him round to see the sights. On some of these excursions the young ladies went also. Braxton was very polite and attentive to Marian, and observers supposed he had inten tions." This did not prevent others, when he was introduced to onr "set," from at tempts to supplant Marian in his good graces. The Braxton was a fish too big to be suffered to go into the Orrington net without efforts to land him elsew here. His attentions to Marian,, though rather fisnnal were constant. Margaret being comparatively a child, 1- years young er than himself, was -tted a deal as a matter of course. He (anight her a gixsf many knick knacks, which she accepted with childish delight. He taught her chess. In fact, she amused him evident ly, and they became great cronies. This suited Marian veay well. To have him always dangling after her would be a bore, and she timid shake him off on Mar garet when so disposed and lure back the falcou when it pleased her. And Mar garet assured her, confidentially, that he was " as nice an old fellow as ever lived." One day at dinner, after Braxton had been there two months, and was talking of taking leave. Jack asked his guest, " Do you know anything about i ijihway I mean the copper mine?" " I should," replied the other, " since I have l,,0iW) shares of it, which I would like to sell, now tliat it has gone np $1. Why?"

Marriage receives scarcely more atten tion among the Turks titan birth and death, and there is little embarrassment from the administrative formalities that precede and accompany this solemn act in the West. There are no bands, noan nouncements, no registrations. A man ohLiins a wife just as he would buy a bouquet, but neither, tlie buyer nor the seller nor tlie intermediary asks for a re ceipt. As it is forbidden a man to enter tlie harem of another .even if be were a near relative of the latter) to see a young woman and talk with her, there are no marriages for li ive and no engagements, i ne iat her meets another father and says to him : " You have a son and I have a daughter. If the mother of your son knows my daughter let us strike a bargain ; if she diasf not know her, let them see each other, and let us clqse up the business." Tlie conditions are discussed, the dowry haggled over, then all the arrangements between the parents are made and the young people introduced to each other. Let us atd in passing tliat among ns the marriages that are contracted in the greater capitals of Europe, especially in Paris, do not depart far from this pro gram. In ranee, however, a man is still allowed to behold the object for the ac quisition of which negotiations are in progress. In Turkey this is forbidden ; there marriage is a lottery indeeiL Turkish girls are promised usually w hen they are very young, even at a ten der age, when they are only three orfour years old. If the young bride should happen to die before her marriage, or be required for the Sultan's harem for it may be premised that this is a case that breaks all engagements, and is esteemed as a great honor by parents the intend ed husband is not expected to weep over what he loses, for he has never seen it. When a young girl reaches her twelfth or th irtetnth year she receives the nuptial blessing, and the husband cannot see the face of bis wife antil after that ceremo ny. No woman, not even the wife, take rairt in the solemnity of marriage, which is effected by proxy, delegated to an an cle, or to au elder brother, oiten with a fuil beard, who plays tlie role of the bride. The parents of the couple sign the contract before the imam of their quarter, in the presence of a few friends, who ait as witnesses. The nuptials are then celebrated by the families with a calmness and gravity that would lie as suitable tor a funeral as for a wed ding. The sexes never mingle at these festi vals. The men take their pleasure in si lence in their selaiuilk ; the women a little more noisy it is but natural in tlie hareiuilk. If the wii'e is tisi young or lias delicate health, she is not intrusted to her hus band. She is quickly shut up at her mother's or her motlier-in-law's, some times for more than a year, until it shall please the latter to unite her with her husband. It even happens that the hus band has had time to take his second wife before receiving bis first. Concluded it was Necessary. A number uf years ago, during the grass. nipper raids in Ihikota and other parts of the West, El.ier Blodgett held a series of revival meetings in s small place in the southeastern part of the Ter ritory, where tlie settlement then was chiefly confined, lie had preached a powerful sermon, and had induced about two-thir-ls of the congregation to come forward and indicate their desire to unite with the church. Fearing that some might not fully understand the new du ties the step would involve, he began to explain what they must not do in the future. " Yoa must stop lyin' an' eheatin' an Sabbath breakin'," he saiil, "an if any of you've lieen stealin' you've got to stop that, too. An' there must be no more covetin' or neighborhood qn irrelin, an' no swearin' " " Elder," said a grizzled old fellow who was kneeling in front of the pnlpit, as he raised his head, u ye say we mustn't swear no more ?" "That's it ye mustn't swear at all." " Can't we cuss tlie 'hoppers?" "No, sir!" - " Well, that let's me out, then ! and he rose and started back. " Me too T put in a dozen others, as tliey began to get up. " Hold on T shouted the elder, as the fruits of his labor began to vanish ; come back, an' I reckon ye can swear "bout the "hoppers a little !

They may drain their soil, bnt they should gul.her the rainfall in ponds and lakes scattered all throughout their lands. Instead of run ning the drains through and out of the swamp, they shonld lead to an excava tion of such size as cin uinstances will permit, which should be made at a depth of three or four feet, w here the water con gather and will remain during the year, quenching the thirst of animals, giving drink to birds a reservoir in case of fire, a home for fish, a place of beauty on which one may sail the boat, an opportunity for the bath and for teaching the yoiinif peo ple to swim. This will yield i-e for the family, provide skating for the happy youth in the winter time, ami moisture, which, throtnrh evaporation, will pass in to the cloud to e returned aiin thnmuh rainfall to the needy earth. No fear need la- entertained of stagna tion from water thus held in reserve. Fish will themselves purify it. Every rain will change it. while, if the lake cov ers an acre or more in area, the wind will constantly keep it pure. In proof of this I the writer has an artificial lake on hi j farm, the result uf dredging a swamp.
