Charles the Twelfth of Sweden, surnamed, on account of his warlike propensities, by his admirers, the " Lion of the North," and by his detractors, with equal justice, perhaps,the "Madman of the North," accidentally en- countered, at the Chateau Gortz, a young creature from the banks of the Volgar—a niece of Baron Gertz. So powerful was the impression she at once made upon the hitherto impregnable heart of the hero, so completely was he spellbound in her charms, that he seemed tolose all recollection of other matters, even of the disastrous battle of Pultowa. The name of this enchantress was the Princess Ikia—for she was a Princess, her mother the baron's sister, having married the dn, Hetman of the Tartars. Being left an orph at an early age, she had taken up the resi dence with Baron Gertz at Stralsund. The baron was a bit of historian—or thought he was—and was then engaged in writing the history of the king, who called upon him often to revise and correct the work. Besides, the baron was one of She crown councillors, and was often entrusted with Important business of the state. M Charles the Twelfth had that desire .which seems inherent in the breast of greatness—he wished to be loved for himself alone, witnout any regard to his state and grandeur. Con sequently he had himself presented to Ikla under the simple title of Count D'Olfen and In that name he paid his court to the erratic princess ; for her Tartar blood made her die. regard many of the conventionalities of life, though her uncle often declared that she had the blood of the Oortzes full In her veins, and was no more a Tartar than be was—and there was not much of the Kalmuch about him. Baron Gortz was highly delighted at the prospect of becoming the uncle of the king ; but that delight was tempered by a whole some dread of his prospectlVe nephew-In-law. For, stripping off the dazzling veil of his mili tary glory, he must acknowledge that the " Lion of the North" was an unmitigated ty rant,and ruled his subjects in a very arbitrary manner Ed IMUMM =SW aratious CATCHING A TARTAR A TIIADITION OF SWEDEN Baron De Goan had proof of thla one day when he'recelved a letter from the king. It co tajnol these words : " Baron Gortz, information has reached me that the Captain of Hubans, Gustavus Hein old, who was condemned to death for neglect of orders at the battle of Pultowa, but who escaped before the execution of his sentence, has been seen in Stralsund. Write instantly to the governor ; tell him I hold him respon sible for the apprehension of this traitor. Within five minutes of hie being taken and identified, let him be shot. And the person in whose house he shall be forthwith shot." This letter troubled the good old baron sorely, for his niece had made him promise to intercede for this identical young officer. He broke into a cold perspiration when he reflect ed that if he did so the probability was that he should get himself shot , for his pains. Ile wished fondly in his heart that the king and Ilka were married, because then he should be his uncle, and he could never think of shoot ing one of the royal faMily. He wrote the order to the governor, and sent it by a servant, who informed him that an officer of the police wished to speak to him. Wondering at this. he hurried to the hall be low. On his return, he found Ikla, a sylphin, dark-haired, dark-eyed gipsy of a woman, gazing listlessly from the large bay window into the street below. She noticed that he was in a state of perturbation. •' What is the matter 1" she asked. •' I want to put you on your guard," he exclaimed, breathlessly. " The police have sent to say they have reason to believe that a young man is concealed somewhere in my ,chateau." "I know it," answered Ikla, coolly. " I concealed him." " Yon 1". exclaimed the astonished baron. " Who is he ?" " Gustavus Reinold." The baron uttered a dismal groan " Iltia, you have murdered me I" he cried, and sank freely into a chair. " Not so bad as that, I hope," she replied,' smilingly. " I tell you that whoever harbors the traitor is to be shot I" exclaimed the frightened baron irately. "You know that Gustavus Is no traitor." "What signifies that? If the king orders it, he must be shot—and so must II" And the baron groaned again. " What made you take so fatal an Interest in this wretched young man ?" " Ills misfortune," replied Ikla. "He is innocent ; I know it, and my dear mother and sister, knew It also. Forced by a cruel and unjust sentence to fly from his country, ho found refuge and safety in ours." "Then why the dense did he leave it 1" "To follow me when you Bent for me. Finding the pursuit so hot, I thought the best asylum for him was your chateau." At this moment a servant entered the room, and announced Count D'Olfen. The baron's visage brightened with &hope ' ful idea. " There Is but one chance for us all I" he claimed ; " marry the count, and then—" He checked himself abruptly. "It it depends on that, our chance is small," she returned, roguelehly ; " but listen to me— obey mo,and all will yet be well. I intend to play a desperate game , but, if I win, I shall save a life of far more value than my own." She held a rapid conference with the baron ; and though he listened to her at first with astonishment and alarm, she finally won him over to her purpose, and he promised to assist though it was with fear and trembling. But he had pretty well made up his mind by this time that he should be shot any way, and he thought it did not make much difference for what. De withdrew, and Charles the Twelfth, as Count D'Olfen, entered the room. Ile wore the uniform of his faeorte regiment ; a light blue coat trimmed with gold, and high boots of black leather, to which a formidable pair of spurs was attached ; a three. cornered black hat : a black stock ; buff gauntlets, and a heavy sword. lie 'looked more like a warrior equipped for the field, than a lover seeking his lady's bower. He felt like a timid school-boy in the pre sence of this exquisite beauty, who had stormed the outworks of his heart, and pene trated to the very citadel. Would any one believe that he was Charles the Twelfth ? In her turn, Ikla also had her reflections. " lie seeks a Tartar," she thought ; "he shall find one." "What, Count," she exclaimed, " in rest mentals ? How devoted be must be to the king !" "Well, I am," he exclaimed ; "but I came . here as well as I can recollect, to tell you how .levoted lam to you—only I confess myself awkward in these matters. I never cared for a woman till I saw you." "Why, Con t. you must be the very coun terpart of the ki ," cried Ikla, coquettishly. "They say he ha e women." "Re does no au thing," replied Charles, quickly. "How do yen kn "I think. I know h "You might as we I know yourself." " How I" he said, an 1 " Which no man does. ' "0, I know you, at I events.

Do you love me ?" "Is that the worst that can happen to you?" she asked, demuicly. "Ikla, I generally get the best of it at blows ; but I own you bent me on weeds. I shall simply return to the charge. Do you love me ?" " I must have roof of your love before I answer that." " What proof?'' " Would you grant any little whim of mine 4" " Certainly I would." " Don't make any rash promises." " I swear it." Ikla laughed gleefully, went into an adjoin ing room, and brought forward an antique costume, such as had been worn by the dames of forty years ago. "I have the greatest desire to see how yon would look dressed as my grandmother," she cried. The king was appalled. "Death and the day—" he began "O' fie I no swearing in a lady's presence!" she said, checking him. "But I am glad I have discovered what your love amounts tr.." Re expostulated with her, and ended, as common mortals do, in submitting to a wo man's will. She then dressed him in the heavy brocade dress, and then tied the high, starched cap tightly under his chin. " Fough l" lie cried, In disgust, , "this dress makes me smell like a musk-rat." " You don't like perfume, then V • " No—yes ; one—gunpowder l I'm like Charles the Twelth, and there's no perfume for him but gun powder." "0, I wish I were his wife I" exclaimed Ikla, fervently. He regarded her in plCased surprise. "What I are you in love with the king ?" "0, dear ; no. Only one might ho inclined to sacrifice one's self for the good of one's country." Charles smiled grimly. "You are vastly condescending," he re plied. "And pray, what else would you do for the good of your country ?" • " I would soften his character. I would tame this lion ; and he should soon be as much beloved as ho Is already admired and feared." " And how is this to be accomplished ?" inquired Charles. "Sit down and let me tell you. There now, you must fancy yourself Charles the Twelfth." " Well, I do," he answered, with a signi &ant smile. " Consider me the queen," she continued, and drew her chair beside him. " Go on," he cried, rather pleased with the conceit. "I should devote my life to obtaining and securing his entire confidence." " We will suppose you have it." "Tien I should use it to make him submit, on all fitting occasions; to my sovereign will. I would teach him the true value of his noblest prerogative." " Which is—" "Mercy." "Come, come, Charles the Twelfth is severe, I know, but he Isjust." "Not olwayi. Witness the case of Captain RCinold." Charles started, and glanced at her saspi ciously. " What do you know of that culprit ?" he cried: "His sentence is unjust," she answered, firmly, "and therefore a fit object for the in terference of the queen. Now, if I were queen, i would approach the king, as I do you, with this paper in my hand." She walked up to him with dignity. "I would say to him, Sire, your honor and your glory both require that you should put your name to this—sign." He took the paper from her in surprise, and looked at it. " A. pardon for Captain fleinold," he ex• claimed, and his brow darkened angrily. "Indeed, then, my dear little friend, if I were Charles the Twelfth, this would be my an swer." He tore up the paper. Nothing disconcerted, she immediately drew another paper from her pocket. "Then," she said and knelt at his feet, pleadingly, as she spoke, " King of Sweden, your ves are blinded, not by justice, but by anger. When Captain Reinold was entrusted with that order he found the battle of Pultowa Irretrievably lost; if he had delivered is he would only have caused a massacre of the SwediSh prisoners by the remorseless Russians. For this reason alone he did not deliver it, and thus incurred your majesty's displeasure." "I desire to know the reason of the ex traordinary interest you take in this young man I" he asked. " You shall know, Count," she answered, "when you have promised to obtain .pardon from the king." "I will make no such promise," cried Charles, sternly. A timely knocking at the door disturbed them. lkla would have opened it, bu Charles, aware of the rediculous manner in which he was dressed, restrained her. The' the voice of the baron was beard, in very tremulous accents, declaring that the roya council was assembled : and awaited the pres ence of the count. Charles, in dismay, begged Ilda to remove the dress, for he found it impossible to do so ; but she only laughed at his predicament. " Wri lolled girl l" he exclaimed, angrily, " you have forced me to declare myself. lam the king." But she only laughed the louder. "Sire," she answered, with mocking cour tesy, "I have known It from the first. Sign the pardon, therefore, or I will at once admit the council." The king was obliged to acknowledge him self fairly vanquished. Ile signed the pardon. and Ilda freed hint from the obnoxious gar. meats. When she admitted her uncle, and informed the king That he was all the eimucil there was assembled, and reassured the poor baron, who looked half frightened to death, for the share he had taken in the little plot. "Baron de Gratz," said.dharles, "for cer tain reasons I have pardoned Captain Rein. old. Let this pardon be sent to him at once. lids took the pardon.. "There is no occasion to send it, sire," she said, archly. "I can deliver it myself. Gustavus is concealed in this clmtean." " Gustavus again I" cried the king, sharply.

PATRICK'S DAT COWS in II o 17th ins FARMERS' CLUR.—In Bucks county they have a Farmers' Club; , whose meetings aro well attended and much benefit results front an Inter change of views upon rigrieuitural subjects.

The Shorthorns emultined some excellent qualities, and wermloubtles.; the most productive; although, in his 111111.1, not the hest for the farmers of this section of the country. Ile considered the Ayrshire the cow' of the period, and taking all things into consideration, the most profitable. He regretted that he had nut spent as much time as he might in examitti ig the Holsteins. Ile thought that the cream of this stock not separating per fectly from the milk would make It objectionable for dairy purposes. The pasturage, too, was not sufficient to sustain it ; the same being the case with tile Jersey and Durhasn stock. Davis E. limiter remarked that he was of the opinion that Mr. Holmes hail done injustice both to himself and the Club by not devoting more attention to the Holstein. A report was read of a cow named " Texelant," of .this stock, also of Individuals of the Durham and Jersey breeds. An Inquiry was then made as to the amount of food necessary for these large entrants. Mr. Hohnes said a cow was calculated to enltSlllllo about 3% per Cent. of her live weight of hay or its equivalent. The Air. shires tome about one-third less than the Hot steins—r ic former averaging about 900 pounds and the latter 1200. The President thought that a good point was brought out by the essayist In regard to crossing, cattle with those of a larger bretal ; the results generally not proving Batista°. tory. Mr. Holmes said he was always disappointed hi raising calves from graded bulls. He thought the Devons and Durbains preferable for market purposes. D. W. McNair coincided here, and related his experience in selling calves from a graded Devon bull, for which he received about one cent per pound more. He also thought that the Dothan's, Herons and common Natives were good for dairy purposes. " Mr. Holmes thought that the great trouble with farmers was in not looking up the ancestry of the bulls. Most far mers raise bull calves on account of their size and beauty; entirely overlooking what the milking qualities of the stock arc. Ile also said that In five years' experience he had never raised a calf from a grade biAl that proved satisfactory. Mr. McNair differed here, and said lie had raised two calves which turned out tolerably well. But Mr. Holmes said that this did not disprove his asser tion, as neither of them gave as much milk as their dam. Mr. McNair did not approve of large cattle, but thought the medium size s d y the more profitable, taking into consideration the amount of food consumed. It was resolved that Mr. Holmes should look Into the Holstein stock and add to his essay ; the entire subject to conic up again for discussion at a future meeting. Mr. Brower said hu was spending considerable time In the preparation of his essay on the subject of a co-operative cheese and butter factory, and it any of the members could throw any light upon the subject it would be thankfully received. " flow can farmers hest secure crops of clover or grass, at the same time 'dispensing with the wheat crop I" was then annouuced for discussion. Nearly all those present Join . ed in the debate, and •utauy instructive Ideas were advanced. The sub stance of a report by a gentleman nt the Newtown meeting was !Flitted by Wm. M. Large. Mr. Mc- Nair sold be had ntowel some timothy which had been sown with clover, and it only ran about n ton to the acre. Ile hail raised a good " catch" of clover by sowing with oats.

Mr. I 'tonnes nai I he had sown clover with his oats for four years and had raised three good 121 - 0119.' An other gentleman thought that It would not always do, especially in cases of drought. lint Mr. Mc- Nair said that ihe heavy crop he had raised woo tioWn in exceedingly dry' weather; but the oats bad stood up the entire season, and probably that, Might hove yielded some prote v tion to the clover. Mr. Large said lie had sown a bushel of premium timothy seed on wheat in the mouth of February, but it failed to grow. Ile thought the plan pur sued by agriculturalists around Norristown, of cutting their corn and hauling it offand then plow lug and planting with wheat or rye, might.be pmc- (Led with prolit. Mr. Holmes thought that tho best plan was to plow fled thoroughly pulverize the soil, and then sow the timothy In the fall and the clover it. the spring. It was the experience of nearly all present that clover bay was the beet food fur cows and cattle. After a somewhat pro -1 ,aged discussion the matter was filially brought to a close. KEKPING ACCOUNTS.—The great MSS of farmers of this country keep uo accounts at —not even a memorandum book In which they o does current expenses, etc. The Idea of coping Imola,' has a terror 'about It, which ers most people whose BUCCCSB In life does not absolutely hang upon their keeping accurate ac counts to have touch to do with them. The amount of looney which passes through the bands of a small firmer In any part of the country is so small, that his recollections about moneytransac tions Is ususlly accurate, and the real necessity of spending the few minutes a day neccessary to keep tolerably accurate accounts Is not apparent to them, and will not be until proved. It Is not our object now to enter In an argument to couviqce any one of the desirableness of keep ing accounts, but to show how It may be done con veniently and easily. The writer has for some time u.ed the following system for keeping his family and farm accounts, which arc kept together and It certainly Is simple, convenient, and appears to be all that Is required. The book Is ruled with double dollar-and-cent colums. In one of these columns the expenses are set down ;In the other the receipts. The book need not be larger than a common school copm blok, and three minutes n day will serve to make all the entries. If the farmer Is cold, and his fin. get, are AIR, his wife or one of his daughters will gladly take the pen. Oftener than otherwise, we think the wife, If not overburdened with the cares of aousehold had children, would be the best one to keep the accounts. In a great many cases, dimes and half-dimes slip away for personal in .'u'gences (glasses of something warm, or tobac. c which, were It the good wife's daily ditty to make the record, would nut be Event.

NO. 10 Tim IRON TRADE IN ENGLAND.—Under date of January 23 an American iron merchant at London writes as follows to Mr. Henry Mc- Allister, Jr., Secretary of the United States Iron and Steel Association: The Iron manufacture In England just now Is not in a prosperous condition. Before the breaking out of the war between France and Germany business was brisk, and prices very remunerative. In the early part of 1110 year the prices of Scotch pig Iron reached 625. per ton, at which price there was a large profit, and the furnaces were all or nearly all kept in blast. When the war broke out the price fell to about 465. to 475. per ton, and although It has since recovered to 515., trade is flat, several furnaces have "blown out," and the feeling is anything hut secure. At present a very formidable strike among the Scotch pad dlers is maturing, and, as both masters and men are putting on a bold front, it really looks as If something serious would grow nut of It. The rail trade is rather sick. With the Continental market partly cut off, and with a semi-beligercnt feeling prevailing between England and her best European customers, Russia, this branch of business has rather an unpleasant prospect In the near future. The shipments to the United States continue very large, however, and I do not really know what would have become of English rail-makers had it not been for the latter market. You may depend upon It, however, that the margin for profit upon orders now being received is very small. The activity in the shipbuilding trade of the Northeast coast causes a good de mand for plate and angle iron in the north of England, and the engine. builders of the yne and Tees are fully employed for the same rea sons. The prospects for a speedy termination of the war on the Continent, and of a conse quent rise in the price of Iron, is doing some thing toward sustaining prices, by bringing buyers tato the market. The steel manufac ture of Sheffield is exceedingly prosperous. The immense demand for steel goods, caused by the war, has set all the works in that line in full activity. The English Gdverninent, too, is ordering a considerable number of steel cannon and other implement's of warfare, which adds to the prosperity of that branch of business. There are large quantities or Bes semer plates being turned out for this Gov ernment, and steel rails for your people. MASSACIIIDIETT HEIRS CLAIMING A SLAVE TRADE FORTUNE.—S.OGIC 00 or 00 years ago, a man named Isaac Philips went from North Bridgewater to the Southern States, and en gaged In the business of buying and selling slaves. He amassed a fortune in this nefarious business. It is said that he deposited some $40,000 in some bank In New York city, whet° it has been on interest ever since, and for which the bank (Akers are now trying to find an owner. There is, of course, consider able scrambling for that large amount of pro• petty. It Is presumed that he left no children. There are a great many nephews and nieces of the above named Issac Phillips In Easton, Stoughton, the Bridgewaters,and in the region round about these towns. The point now to be proved is whether the Issue Phillips afore said is the one that deposited that floury in New York. If these heirs can prove that he really was the man, then the money Is theirs. There ouzo lived In a small cottage, on a cross-road leading from Dickerman's corner, in this town, to North Bridgewater, an old lady by the name of Susie Phillips. She ob tained her livelihood by braiding straw and fitting boots. She guarded her huckleberry pasture with vigilance, and woo betide the elii!dren that dared to fill their baskets from its bushes. The old lady died five or six years ago, at an advanced age, and at her request the large family Bible containing the record of the Phillips faintly, was placed under her head and buried with her in the grave. It was thought that this Bible would be of ser vice In looking up the pedigree of the Phillips family, and last week the grave vies opened and the Bible taken from beneath theThead of the deceased. It has not yet b.ien opened, for after lying so long under ground it was iu a very bad condition. When they shall be enabled to examine it, some light may be thrown upon the subject of the early history of the family.—North Bridgewater (Mass.) Gazette. A CURL CUT OFF WITR AN AY.—"Do you see this lock of hair ?" Bald an old man to me. "Yes ; but what of it ? It Is, I suppose, the curl from the head of a dear child long since gone to God." "It is not. It is a lock of my own hair, and it Is now nearly seventy years since it was cut off from this head." "But why do you prizo a lock of your hair so much ?" "It has a story belonging to it and a strange one. I keep it thus with care, because it speaks to me more of God and of His special care than anything else I possess. . "I was a little child of four years old, with long curly locks, which, in sun, or rain, or wind, hung down my cheeks uncovered. One day my father went into the woods to cut up a log, and I went with him. • I was standing a little way behind him, or rather at Ms side, watching with Interest the strokes of the heavy az, as it went up and came down upon the wood, sending off splinters with every stroke in all directions. Some of the splinters fell at my feet, and I eagerly stooped to pick them up. In doing an I stumbled foritard, and in a moment my curly head lay upon the log. I had fallen just the moment when the ax was coming down with all its force. It was trio late to stop the blow. Down came the ax. I screamed, and my father fell to the ground in terror. He could not stay the stroke ; and in the blindness which the sudden horror caused he thought he had killed his boy. "We soon recovered ; I from my fright, and he from his terror. Ile caught me in Ida arms and looked at me from head to foot, to find out the deadly wound which lie was sure he had inflicted. Not a drop of blood nor a scar could be seen. Ile knelt upon the grass anti gave thanks to a gracious God. Having done so, he took up his ax and found a few hairs upon its edge. He turned to the log'he had been splitting, and there was a. single curl of his boy's hair, sharply eut through and laid upon the wood. How great was the es cape ! It was as if an angel bad turned aside the edge at the moment when it was descend ing on my head. With renewed thanks upon his lips be took up the curl, and went home with me in his arms. "That lock ho kept all Ids days, as a memo Hal of God's care and love. That lock he lel to me on his death-bed." "LET US HAVE PEACE."—A notable meet ing took place at Ann Arbor, Michigan,a few weeks ago, when for the first time Miss Anna E. Dickinson and Miss Lilian 8. Edgerton laid eyes upon each other. They were coun• terparts long sundered, the former being, as all the world knows, a pretty, petulant, fiery little brunette, and the latter an imperial blonde, a massive Alruna maiden who might have sung to the " wolves of the Goths" in search of Asgard. Miss Dickinson Is an un• flinching advocate of woman's right to vote, but Miss Edgerton thinks women should not be enfranchised.

Printed at Short Notice DEATH OF TILE HEAVIEST MAN IN PENN SYLVANIA.—The Pottsville Journal says.— The death of Mr. John Boussutn, of Schuyl kill Haven which occurred recently, has been the all•absorffing topic in this communl ty ever since its occurrence. John Bovsum was born In itTanheim township In 1819. In the year 1849 he entered the service of the Schuylkill Navigation Company, and it is re. ported of him that shortly after . so doing he met with an accident by the blast of a rock, which raised hint in the air some distance, and Injured him considerably in his descent. Shortly after recovering from this shock he commenced gaining flesh, and notwithstand ing his frame was only of medium stature— about flee feet ten inches—he Boon pulled down 494 pounds on the scales with perfect ease, and has for many years been considered the heaviest man in Pennsylvania. Ho has perfornied the duties of lock-tender at Schuylkill Haven for these many years, and was active and as supple as the majority of those who carried less than half his own weight of flesh, and bas usually enjoyed ex cellent health. He has slept nightly in his watch•box at the canal lock, where he closed his eyes in his last long Bleep ; and, that, too, at his post of duty, where he was ever found in life. After his death it was found Impose!. ble to remove him from the watch-box without enlarging the door, and this was done. by tearing out nearly the whole end of the build ing, when he was romoved In the collector's office, near by, where his remains were viewed by thousands of people from different sections of the country. The coffin in which he was placed wits made of very heavy plank, and securely fastened together with iron bands and braces to prevent the possibility of an ac cident w lair: moving the corpse. Its measure, inside, was two feet nine incites wide across the Imin,t, eight feet three inches around,and five feet eleven incites in length, being large enough to hold fonr ordinary sized men, with room enough for a half a dozen small boys.

IRON SM ELT ING AT OMAIIA.—Iron Ore, taken from the Black Hills, near the highest level of the Union Pacific Railroad, has been smelted at Omaha, and found of excellent quality, yielding eighty per cent. of superior metal. Three hills or the Ore lie near the Railroad ; and, as the material is at once r )st accessible and practically inexhaustible, he Union Pacifle propose to use it in their stmilt ing and casting shops, whose foreman (a Mr. Fawcett) is said to have invented a new smelt ing furnace, which dispenses with the fun or blower, and is thus described : "The new furnace is about 21 feet high and 5 feet in circumference, tapering towards the top. About half way up is a circular steam supply pipe, that introduces into the interior of the flue about a dozen jets of steam. This steam creates a vacuum that draws the blast through the live coal below with tremendous velocity, securing by such simple means the intense heat necessary for smelting the metal. The new furnace has been running now about two weeks, and is so great a success that several more are to be constructed, and the old fur naces entirely abandoned. This new process will reduce the cost of the smelting process to such an extent that an effort will be made to utilize the invention by smelting the ore of the Black hills on the spot. NVith iron ore, coal and wood in abundance, and a largely decreased cost of maintaining the fur naces, there is no earthly xenon why the pig iron of the Wick Rills cannot be nunte to compete with the iron made at the smelting furnaces in Missouri."

Bus NoTtos.—"Bollln's Bower" is the title of a new Boston "notion," it being no more nor less than a home for girls, working women and others who have no home and are not able to buy one. Miss Jennie Collins was a working woman, who had thoughts of pity and compassion on the class to which she belonged. She saw the young men coddled and nursed and provided for by the Christian Ass tciution9 and kindred institutions, while nothing was left for the enterminnumt of the shop.girl who was dis posed to be \ irtinins lint the pleasures of her solitary rmitn in-the boarding-house. So she begged money enough to hire and open a hall on Wii'shington street, to which she. invites all who are disposed to spend an evening there, and especially the women and girls who wish for some innocent place of entertainment with ' out cost. She provides some amusement for every evening, either a concert, or a lecture, or dramatic readings. Ber hall is supplied with papers, mazazines and books, and Is made as comfortable and attractive as her means will allow. She is always ready to give advice and assistance when it lice in her power to the girls that come to her, exerts her self in every possible way to ameliorate the condition of the working women. LosoyELLow's EvAsontd::E.llawthorna dined one day with Longfellow, and brought with him a friend front Salem. After dinner friend said, `• I have been trying to per suade Him thorny to write a story, based upon a legend of Ardis, and still current there;_ the legend of a girl who, In the dispersi. , l of the Acadian s, was separated front her I vet., and passed her life in waiting and seekin for him, and only found him dying in a hospital, when both were old." Longfellow wondered that this legend did not strike the fancy of Hawthorne, and said to hint, "If you have really Made up your mind not to use it for a story, will you give it to me for a poem?" To this Hawthorne assented, and, moreover, promised tint to treat the subject in prose till Longft how had seen what he could do with it in verse. And so we have '"Evangeline" in beautiful hexameters—a poem that will hold its place in literature while true affection lasts. Hawthortio rejoiced in the great suc cess of Longfellow, and loved to count up the edith ma, both foreign and American, of this now world-renowned poem.—Allastie. SOMETHING TO us: THANKFCI. story of the courtship of John Brown, of 'lad (Bugler', has been at last put Into a book—but in my young days I heard it in the Lowlands of Scotland, and it Is believed to be entirely true. This John Brown was the author of the " Marrow of Divinity," and other theo• logical books, which are held in high esteem by the Scottish people. He courted .a lady upwards of six years. lie was so singularly mtest :nut bashful that he had never ven tured to kiss her: One day it occurred to him that it would not lie a very bad thing to do. So. it Is recorded, he said, " Janet, ma women, we've been acquainted now for six years, an' —an' I've never got a kiss yet. D'ye think / may take one, my bonnie lass?" The reply tens wonderfully tillaracteristic of the Scottish maiden. " Jist as ye like, John," said she, "only be bscontiti and proper wi' U. "Surely, .host,'' said John, " we'll ask a bleardn':" file blessing was asked, and the kiss ex changed. "O, woman," said the enraptured but still devout minister, " 0, woman, but It's gude ; we'll noo return thanks." And they did.
