" Heigh ho !" sighed Minnie Arlin, " what a
plague these lovers are ! Particularly if one
is not (rite certain whether they tc,e enamored
of one's self or one's fortune. I wish I knew
--" and as she said this she glanced
thoughtfully after the retreating form of a tall
gentlemanly looking, yOung man, at that mo
ment passing out of the gate in front of her
father's mansion. Minnie was not a beauty,
as heroines usually arc, but she possessed
sunny. !;.leeful temper, a Warm heart, and a
well cultivated mind, which am:dy compensa
ted for all defioiemies of form and face, so that
among the traly di3cerning she found many and
warm fri ends.
As lice father was very wealthy, many suit
ors knelt at the feet of Minnie, who otherwi-e
would have sought a lovelier bride. But to all
she had
,iyen a kind, but decided neg
until she met with 'Walter Roby, the visitor
who had just bid her adi‘ n. He was a young
lawyer. wlto had recently come into the village
of Belmont, and who, possessing a handsome
person. thiminating conversational powers, and
bland and agreeable manners, very soon won
the confidence and good-will of the people, and
particularly of the ladies. lie did not at lirst,
however, notice Minnie with much attention :
but in the course of a fiw wed: t, he seemed to
be suddenly enamored, and soon became very
attentive.
Though Minnie was muelt flattered by lid ,
apparent devotion of the " handsome lawyer,"
yet site ha 1 adarge Aare of that rare, but im

from a love of her own rather p l ain self, she

very day, inade her the .oti:n. of his heart and
hand, and begged hers in return ; but Minnie
had given this reply. Mr. Roby, I am not
prelarcd to answer• von immediately—T shall
require at least two IN - Q(1:s to reflect; upon it."
wtts so tee fiat daunted by this cool answer

she might rest asguted that lie loved : and
then she could return the love. She resolved
many schemes, but nniie sec mod plausible : and
finally when the bell chimed twelve, she retir
ed, resolving in the morning to impart her
trouble to her Falter, and implore his aid, for
she was motherless.
:Morning dawned; and 3fimile arose mir r esh.
ed and pale. As tla• breakfast bell rang, she
greeted her father at the feet of the stair way.
" What ails may birdie this morning r—hc said
as he gave his accustomed kiss. '• T'll tell von
after breakfast papa," replied Minnie. Ac•
cordingly,, when the meal was finished, slie
twined her arm within his, and accompanied
hint to the parlor Where she unf.hltd to him
her suspicions, plans, and ho;-es. Minnie's
father was not surprised. Mr. Roby had ap
plied to him to sanction his contemplated pro
posals to Minnie and as Mr. Arlin thought
Mtn a talented young man. be told him that
"if Minnie consented he should." When she
hail concluded. Me. Arliu said :
" Don't be troubled, nit daughter. 'it would
he strange if we could not devise some means,
by which to ascertain what this young lawyer
is in love with." He then unfolded his plan,
and when they parted, Minnie's face had re
sumed something of its old look of careless
gayety.
The first aleck of Walter Ruby's " banish
ment" (as he told her lie F.hoohl call it) had not
pased. when it was rumored that Minnie Arlin
had entered the shop of Mrs. Rand, the millin
er, as nn apprentice, and that When questioned,
she had replied, " She did not wish to be a
burden upon her father in his present circum
stances." There carne also flying reports of
loss of property. which seemed in accordance
with Minnie's conduct, and many people began
to believe that Esq. Arlin would be obliged to
dispose of his handsome mansion and fine farm.
Minnie continued her daily tasks et the millin
er's shop until the two weeks had nearly ex
pired. Two days befare the time had expired
she despatched to her lover the following
note :
"MR- ROBY-If you still entertain the senti;•
monis you professed nt our last interview, I
will giro you my reply this evening.
MINNIE ARLIN."
Walter had heard the rumors and had en
deavored to ascertain their truth. He trembled
lest they were true, for he felt that he could not
make Minnie Arlin, if poor, his bride. He was
quite undecided what to do, when he received
Mirmie's note : but immediately sallied forth.
determined to satisfy himself as to. die truth of
the rumor, if possible: Stepping into the office
of, a physician, with whom he was upon terms
of intimacy, he said after a few moments con-

versation, What, is it, doctor, about this af
fair of Fig. Arlin ? Is he really so reduced
that Minnie is obliged to become a shop girl ?"
" Well," replied his friend ; I thought at
first there must lie some mistake, but I heard
the old gentleman say this morning, when some
one spoke of Minnie being so inditstrious, that
Minnie Arlin would not see her father reduced
to poverty; and not make some effort to assist
him. So T presume there is fonndation fair the
reports. 'But my dear fellow, Minnie is a noble

pretty a face as some."

some..rhat friendly with it is true ; but
nothing. serious, at all. No trouble about the
heart," and he laughed, ''though," added he
I sho.:ld regret exceedingly to have than meet
with reverses." He soon after took his leave,
and returned to his ofilco, seated himself at his
writing vied, and wrote, scaled and despatched
the following note :
" Dn.ta Miss Annx—During the time that
elapsed since I saw yen last, my feelings have

analyzed them More closely=and I fear we can

cific Ocean swarm with nascent organism,
sometimes animal and sometimes vegetable,
which color its surface crimson, brown, black,,
or white, according to their own hues. These
patches of colored water often extend, especi
ally in the Indian Ocean, as far as the eye can
reach. Along the coast of China yellowish
spots are not uncommon, and the Yellow Sea
derives its name from the frequency of the yel
lowhir patches in that locality. The average
detelt of the Red Sea is about five hundred feet.

Licut. Maury, in an account, of the currents
of the oceans, says that there is a perpetual
current rushing from the Indian Ocean into the.
Red Sea. This current is peculiar, inasmuch as
while the bottom of it is probably a water level,
the surface is an inclined plane, running down

The salt of course cannot evaporate, and
therefore the water becomes salter in propor- 7
