A ereit. utriinpintr, rausnular fellow wat Cofirad Midburger and he was ad mitud to be tba best dancer and swordsman Id the village. Ilia com plexion was darker than that or most of his neighbors, for there waa a tra dition of Magyar blood ia the family and his face was by do means lacking in intelligence, of a merry and tace ful sort. The village itself had a look of bav in cr been iioishotl Jong zo; but a "reader of men" might have looked at Onrad, if he caw him there and said : "But that fellow only half dona yet. He doesn t half understand him self. Tity there's nothing in thia sleepy 1 valley to wake hiin up. i lr, however, the process r.i wtUtiog op waa to imply any sort of ahaking, there had been little enough of that in the life which Co or ad bad thus far led. 'L'h-giihlebf events of the outside world had been only as storms on the ocean, sending hardly a ripple of their uproar into the little land-locked cove of the old dull village. Uottlieb Midburger, Uonrad s lath er, wito bis old crony. and partner, Franz Hoferdahl, had made and mend ed watches in the same dingy and time-worn shop where their fathers had fired and hammered before them : and one lifo was as like another and about as unvarying as the ticking of the fatfaced time-pieces behsnd the cobwebs in the shop-window. Just now, however, as if the course of Nature were being disturbed, va rious ripples were beginning to come. Rumors there were.foriustance, that the king, "God preserve biro !" waa pre paring to fight a war .with somebody and that all young heroes like Conrad Midburger would soon be needed for the army. Stranger still and utterly unaccount able, considering bis time of life, old Franx Iloferduhl had caught the emi gration fever and made up his stead fast mind to join the great Uerman tide that sets pepetually toward the shores of America. Already he had sold whatever he had ' to sell, except his big pipe, his flute and his daughter Clirisiiue, fur these he intended taking with him to the Western Eden. "Perhaps," thought the villagers, "it's not so strange for old Franx as for some of us. lie's been lonely since his wife died and then he was a great traveler in his younger days." That was true enough, for Franx Hoferdahl had been to Berlin and America could not be so very much beyond. , , " , The old man had sold his share in the shop to his friend Gottlieb and had made as good bare-aids as he could for his house and movables; but none of his anxieus neighbors knew exactly how much of- ready cash he took with him when lie and Lis weeping Chris tine set out upon their long pilgrim age. ' ' . . S. Christine wept, indeed, as if she meant to ruin her pretty blue eyes en tirely ; for the little old village had been very dear to her and her mother's grave was there. If there were other reaaons for her sorrow, Christine kept them to herself; albeit she may have woudered why one person, at least, had not asked her a question or so con cerning them. As for Conrad Midburger, be had said good-by, with all the rest, to his father's old friend and to the tearful Christine; and he had rubbed his great black eyes, afterward, in a way that looked as if the whole thing was a good doal of a dream to him. . If it was, there was no help for it since Christine and her lather were far enough away before he woke up. Nevertheless, when Conrad missed, day after day, the accustomed form of old x ranz in tho shop, as well as the cheery voice of Christine Hoferdahl calling her father home to dinner, the expression of his face would ' oflanga, at times, and one would almost have said he was beginning to think. Not quite so much as &ft, perhaps at least, not yet ; butretty soon Conrad s eyes took note of a growing difference in the ways and seeming of old Uottlieb Mulburgerhimselt. , Just what it was would have been heard to sar: but. by decrees, tue old man came to neglect bis pipe and tnen nis class of beer and then hia work, and, finally, he took to his bed and died, and the neighbors said, almost with one accord, that "Franx Hoferdahl had broken his old friend's heart by going away." , -w. . "Broke his heart!" said Conrad to himself. "But he did not break min.p l And I have a heart, too I can feel it beat. And I loved old Franx and I loved my father very much, and I feel as if I could cry all day, if I were not so very big a miao." The atrongejt evidence that Conrad bad a heart, however, was yet to come. As the days went by, after his father's death, the shop and everything in it and about it became utterly distaste ful to him. Day after day bo eat down by the bench and tried to work, but the very ticking of the watches waa insufferably oppressive, while again and again he started up and dropped bia file or hia hammer in re newed astonishment at the continued absence of these two old men. "If only Christine would come," he said to himself, "and call old Franz home to dinner I" But she did not come and the silence and loneliness grew more and more irksome; and so when, , by-and-bv. a pood customer opportune! v made his appearance, Conrad Midbur ger almost gladly closed with his oQer to purchase the shop and the noaoe. He soid, toot everything else that his father had left him, except the old man's pipe and sword, and the medal his father beiore him had won in the old wars with the French. ' Neither did Conrad, any more than Franz Ho ferdahl, tell any of his neighbors how great or how small waa the golden store he found himself possessed of; but the Midburgers had been a care ful, saving and close-mouthed race for generations. An3 when the sales were all com pleted and the transfers duly made, and Conrad stood in the moonlight,one fine Spring evening, and gazed at the home that was no longer his, he said to himself: "I think I could almost break my heart now, after all, for I did love that house and loved the shop ; but I could not stay there with the empty places. There were too many voices there that did not speak. That was it. But what shall I do now V Conrad's question waa anawered for him by the great French emperor and by the king ; for Napoleon had de termined, in his old age, that he must fight the Germans, and ao a great many quiet peoplo had to march away irom tneir nomes to ue buo at, wuu out the wisest man in the village being able to give them a good reason. , . i It was a sad thing for many, but Conrad Midburger felt as if he was al most glad to go. He was sure he loved hia "Yaterland" in every bone of hia body, and, if the king called for him, be was ready. Still, as they marched away from the sleepy old village, Con rad said to himself: 1 ' ! "There are the old house . and the shop, and the church steeple, and the trees, and the graves in the ' church yard. I did not know my heart was so big, for I'm sura I lo ve about every thing I can see." T . He could not ace any thing very clearly just then, however, for his eyes were strangely dim. No doubt the sun was in them and the glint and gliter of the bayonets; but, if anyone bad looked in the young man's face, he might have said : . .r.T- ; .i ur..i r. i At is a very . tuuugubiui - iuuo auu there are lines of strength beginning to show in it. , : . And then there followed swift march- in?, comfortless camnintr. all kinds of severe and trying soldier-work, ana a eood deal of very bard bgbting. What ever the newspapers and reports might say about it, Conrad .Midburger and bis comrades learned that the r rencu men were brave fellows and that the glory of beating them was never very cheaply won. ,. . , . . Beinc big aud strong and brave, a good swordsman and every day grow- r j r..- log more auu mure iui.ciiigcuv, vyo- rad himself won glory that is three or four slight wouuds, a medal, pro motion from the ranks, the compli ments of his commanding officer and the envy of his comrades. . Being a man of property, of respec table parentage, of fair education, Conrad might havo looked forward to almost anything attainable in the Ger man army by a roan of less than no ble blood, if the war had not been so very brief aud if the crops to which he belonged bad not been among the first to be ordered home. Before a great while he found himself almost bia own master again, although atill within the scope and control of army regulations, for no German of Conrad a age ia ever beyond them and he said to himself: "Well, I loVed the army, I almost loved fighting. I know I could love glory with all my heart I anow I am ten timea as much a. sol dier as that little white-mustached ape of a baron that commanded my com pany. That ia it. I think I could love a country where there were no I T i - T .t. I. ourona. Xvci ine see. x iuiu. mj heart must have been growing a good deal during this war. There i more room in it than 1 knew of and yet it ia always full. 1 think, there arc some things in it that I never saw there in the old times. I will go aud take a look at the little village first, and the house and shop, aod I will listen again to see if I can bear Christine call her father home to dinner. Then, if don't ber hear, what then?. Well thiuk I will just ask 'my heart about it." Now. all this time, old Fraax Hofer dahl and his daughter had known very little of what had taken place iu the village they left behind them. They had found their pilgrimage long and weary enough, and they had reached a resting-place at last they had written home to their old neighbors, as all German do, but little information had come back to them. They knew that old Gottlieb Midburger was dead and that Conrad had given op the home aod the shop, and that he had gone to the great war with the French and that was nearly all. Franz Hoferdahl bad not landed on the shores of the New World a paoper in anything but' youth and strength, and he found friends readily enough to take the place of the old onea aa far as might be, and, after be had got over hia first daze and bewildcrmeut, and become somewhat accustomed to the racking cbangea in all hia habits and ways of life, he tred , to settle down as a man of property and sub tance, and be happy. t "Ii only old Gottlieb Midburger ware with me," he said to Christine, "I think I could do it. I would ive a good deal just to see the old fellow lay downehia pipe and look into a dir ty watch. ' . - , Christine said very little, but her bright American home became dreary enough at times, when she shut her eyes and let her thoughts go back to the old sleepy German village. She read all the accounts of the great war, too, wondering if any of her old neigh bors had been in thia battle or that, and she listened very silently Vhen her father said : "If Conrad Midburger waa in .any of that fighting, I'll be bound he be haved himself well. There's good blood in the Midburgers and Conrad is a fine boy." "He must be a man by this time," said Christine. , . , , And then she thought what a very tall, fine-looking man he must be and how well he would appear in his uni form. . . ' . ," - f i But whea, after a while, there was news of peace and they hear that the army was going borne to be disbanded, old Franz Hoferdahl grew strangely thoughtful and Christine tried all in vain to arouse him, or amuse him, un til one Autumn morning, he said to her: ' 1 . ': -"All the other old soldiers are go ing home. 1 think it is pretty near time for me to go too.". "To Germany, father!" exclaimed Christine, with a sudden light in her eyes. "O father 1" - "No, Christine," solemnly replied the old man; "Uermany is not the on ly fatherland. I am a very old sol dier and I think this is my last cam paign. ' , Christine understood him then, but all in a dreamy and unreal sort ' of way, until, a fow weeks later, she found herself sitting alone in the house, while the chilling wind that whistled by the windows was freighted with the first white harbingers of the Winter. It seemed a cold, forlorn and empty sort of a world to Christine and, when she tried to think of the village where she was born, that, too, seemed.empty and deserted and. she imagined the old shop shut up and the snow-Cakes beating against Ine spider- webbed windows, The door-bell rang, but Christine did not bear it, nor did she know the servant had admitted anybody, until she was conscious of a heavy step, almost beside her and a deen. clear voice, full of manly strength, but that trembled in a thrilling musical way, said to net : "Christine 1 Christine!" 6he looked up then in the face a scarred and war-bronzed face of tall, erect, noble-lookinr 1 man,' who wore a medal of honor on his breast and whose large, dark, penetrating eyes were absolutely radiant as tbey looked down into ber own. -. "Christine," he said again, "do you understand me r 1 have come. He bad come I" she thought, for one Drier, burning moment, ana it teemed as if light and life, aud happi nesa and strength, and the old uer roan home itself, had come with him She now had an odd, quick fauoy that the door of the old shop opened and the suivbegan to shine, aod she could see thenwo old men at their work, but she rose and threw her arms around his neck, and only said, between her aoba, "O Courad, I'm so happy 1 so glad vou have come: It was a sooer aay and asoDermeei ing, after all, but, some hours later, as they sat by the grate in the parlor, where the fire burned warm and cheer- ilr. while the first merry snow-flakes of the opening winter flitted softly by the windows and they exchanged sto ries of all that had happened to them Conrad said to ber: "Ah, Christine, I did not know my self when vou went away, I did not kuow I bad a heart, but I soon bega to find it out I found that it was ereaL big heart, too, with wonderful thinirs in it One love after another seen.ed to wake up and speak' to me, to tell me it waa there, until at last the izzest love of all came to life and it grew and grew till it crowded out all the others and filled up everything, and then I had to come across the ocean to find you. But who would ave dreamed that you had kept any thing for me, waiting all thia time lor ma to come? I waa terribly afraid about that." Oh, I don't know," said Christine. I don't understand it at all. All the while it has seemed as if I were only waiting waitinr and that, if I wait ed long enough, you would sure come." "And here 1 ana. said Conrad, "on ly. I thing there is a good deal more of me, somehow, than in those dear old sleepy days at home. William O. Stoddard, in Apple(on'$ Journal "NHCS COXIX0 Ui. A resident of New Haven baa given p steamboat travel. Not onr atro. having occasion, to visit New York, ha started for the steamer's landing, with carpet sack in one band and a cane in the other, in what he supposed to oe ampie time, jdui wnen.ne came within sight of the wharf he observed the boat apparently swinging away from ber moorings, and amid the shouts and jeers of tbe bystanders he broke into a Jrantio run tor the land ing; Tbe boat was eight or ten feet from tbe Vharf when ha reached the place where be had hoped to find a gang plank, bftt nothing daunted and trusting to the 'momentum acquired during tbe run, he leaped into the air and gained , the vessel' deck. Not without accident however. The carpet-bag struck one passenger so vio- ectly in tbe stomach that ha doubled up like a jack-knife, and absorbed a whole flask of '.brandy in getting straightened out, while the cace struck anotber man in tbe face withaufucient force to induce him to get down on his knees to look for hia hat. When he had recovered it, the man who had occa sioned all this commotion said to him. n a tone of miugled apology and self congratulation: "Well, I made it t" "lea, you did, said the sore-beaded passenger, "but, you old fool, tbia boat ain't goinj eut, she's coming in I" A member of the Saginaw connty bar was reoently in one of our thriv ing interior towna on professional busi ness.

"From Detriot," The next question was: "For what house are you traveling?" "My own." "You are I May Iask your tame?" 'iou may." Pause enjoyable to the law yer, embarrassing to the other. "Well (.desperately,; what is your namer "Jones." "What line are you selling" (impatiently)? "Brains" (coolly). Tbe drummer saw ' bis opportunity, and looking at the other from head to foot, he said slowly: "Well, you appear to carry a d d small line of samples." Elackstone says he owes that, drum mer one. .

That evening, however, abe had eaten two platea of ice cream, about a pint of strawber ries, aeveral sweet cakes, and two large pickles, and she now says she would rather remain single all her life than marry the man she saw in her dream. A man tried to amuggle a wagon load of tobacco across tba Belgian frontier recently, by driving at full speed, but the custom house soldier brought down tbe bene with his riflo.
