This lino town, with its lovely lake and
pleasant scenery, struck his fancy, so he
determined to obtain employment if pos-

While walking along tho principal street

held for tho purpose of raising thc polo aud
making party speeches. j
Our horoo forced his way into the crowd i
just aa they wero raising tho "Stars and ,
Stripes," with the names of their candl
dates, to tho ton of tho flaa staff. Tho
flag had scarooly reached half way, tho :
enthusiasm bciug at its height, when tho
cord twisted and caught in tho little wheel
at tho top. Ihey pulled aud tried every
way, but whore unable to raise or lower
tho flag a siuglu inch. Tho excitement
and checriug ceased, and all eyes wcro
raised to tho half-masted flag. A portion
of tho opposition party, who wcro grouped
a littlo in tho rear of tho main body began
to jeer and joko about tho apparently bad
onion, to tho evident discomfituro of their
opponents.
- At length Judgo S r-, editor and pub
lisher of tha G Journal, then a can
didate for Congress, offered fifty dollars to
any person who would climb tho staff and
draw tho cord through the wheel. Tho

but no one advanced to uiako tho daring
trial.
'r' " Will no ono volunteer!" shouted the
"judge, etrongly excited aa a peal of laugh

' ii'tiou.
' The chucklo had scarcely died away,
however, before George with his cap and

with a confident look exclaimed
" Yes, sir j I'll climb it 1"
" You, my lad j aro you strong enough !"
" Oli, yes, sir j I am used to climbing."
" Then go ahead, my little Spartan,"
said tho Judge, at tho samo time giviug
him an encouraging pat on tin shoulder.
Steadily, hand over hand, his feet clutch
ing the pole in a manner that proved him
an expert climber, George mado his way
to the very top of the staff, which was &o !
slender that it swayed to and fro with his
weight. .Nothing dauuted ho wound his

After tho excitement had somewhat sub-
, sided, Judge S looked upon the boy
with admiration, and took out his pockwt
book to pay the promised reward.
George noticed tho action, and exclaim
ed' " Keep your monoy, sir, I want no pay
for helping to raise tho American ring."

'gUst of wind careened tho yacht so that she
lost her balance and fell into tho water.
(Corgo hsard the splash made by Ida, and
uetore tno duuge could utter a cry, lie bad
tickca ott Ins light summer shoes, and
plunged in to her rescue. Bi'ing a skillful
and vigorous swimmer ho came up with the
struggling girl before her clothes allowed
her to sink, aud entwined her waist with
his Uft arm, struck out with his right, and
kept her abovo water till tho Judge turned
the boat and camo to their relief. Iu a
few moments they weru safe in tho boat
again, and Ida toon recovered from tho
effects of her unexpected bath. Tho old
Judgo embraced Goorgo and exclaimed,
with tears starting from his oyes
God bless you, my dear boy, you hare
saved my daughter's life, how cau I over
repay you 1"
" By saying nothing about it," replied
George. " 1 owo you now a thousand
limc3 mora than I cau ever repay, and am
too hapy in being able to render even this
slight service."
Tho lovely Ida could say nothing, her
heart was overflowing, but sho gazed upon
her preserver with au expression that told
volumes. Her father ercn obsorvod her
earnest, loving glances, and began to guesa
the truo statq of affairs. Uo was not pre
pared for it, aud in silence ho turned the
boat toward tho shore. They reached
homo with feelings far different from those
they had btartod with.
Tho following momiug, George received
a notice fo meet tho Judgo iu Lis library.
Hi) heart beat wildly what can it mean ?
Thc Judgo had determined to put him
to a sevcro test. As soon as Geotgo enter
ed tho library ho commenced
" Since becoming an iuinnte of my fami

you think proper, or let it on interest, and

case you must leave my house for tho pres.

Georgo was completely bewildered aud
stammered forth a request to be allowed a
few hours for consideration. This being
granted he retired to his room and threw
himself on his bed in a proxysm of grief.
Could tho Judgo havo guessed what him
self had scarcely dared to hope ? What
right had ho to his benefactor's daughtor
and fortune ! None I Uo would smother

Various wcro Jhe 'rumors 6rt afloat by
the scandal mongers of G , as to tho
cause of young Wcntwoith'a leaving h'u
patron's mansion, but their iuuondooi wero
unheeded. Georgo now devoted himself
wholly to business aud study. His brow
woro a more thoughtful expression , and
his cheek grew a shade paler. Tho Judge
acted towards him in a straight forward,
frank manner, yet never addrsssed him
in the kind, fatherly tor.e3,as had been his
wont before tho incident that occurred on
tha lako. If ho chanced to meet Ida iu his
walks, a friendly glance and nod wero all
that passed ; still ho felt that his looks be
trayed him, for tho warm blood gmhed
from his loving heart, and tinted his check
with tli c tell-tale blush ; and ho cherished
tho pleating thought that her looks were
beaming with lovo aud hopo.
A liltlo more than a year had passed
from tho timo George had left thc homo of
those ho loved. It was tho cvo of another
election. Excitement ran high, and Judge
S was again a candidate for Congress.
Tor scrotal weeks a scries of ably written
articles had appeared .in tho Judge's paper.
They wcro addressed to all clas:-es, far
mers, mechanics and laborers. Tho oriai
nal and vigorous stylo, clear, convincing
arguments, deep and profound reasoning
of these articles invariably carried convic
tion to tho parties to whom they were ad
dressed. All tho newspapers of tho party
in that Congrcs;ioual district copied them,
and curiosity was ou tho tip-too to discover
the author, as they was simply signed by
two littlo "stars.'' Tho election passed
off, and Judgo S was elected by a
largo majority.
Late ono night, while Ida and her fath
er wcro returning from a party given iu
honor of his clccliou, they observed a li"ht
in tho Printing Office. As tho establish'
mcnt was usually closed at. twilight, it ap
pcarcd strange it should bo lit up at that
hour, so the Judgo determined to learn tho
cause, lteimesting his daughter to accom
pany him, they ascended tho stairs aud
entered the offico quickly. A sight met
their gazo which caused tho heait of one
of them to beat violently. At tho desk, a
i short distance from tho door, sat George,
fast asleep, with his head rostin" ou hi
arm. As Idas lather stepped lorward to
awako tho sleeper, ho observed political
essays laying open on tho desk, and a fresh
ly written article with tho mysterious
"stars," attached. Thc truth flashed upon
tho Judgo in a moment, ho was indebted
to Georgo for his success! He beckoned
to Ida, who came trembling to his side.
Just then they saw by tho light of the flick
ering lamp, a smile pass ovcr tho slumber-
er's face, and ho muttered tho words "dear
Ida," iu a tonder lone.
" Oh, father," exclaimed tho loviDg girl
affectionately, throwing hor arms around
her parent's neck, "do let Georgo come
home again ; it is surely no sin for him to
lovo mo 1"
Awakened by the sound of Ida's voice,
Georgo looked around confused, and as ho
saw Ida and hor father, ho endeavored to
hido tho manuscript. But tho Judgo stop
ped him laughingly saying
"It won't do, young rascal, you aro
fairly caught, found out talk iu your
sleep, will ye, ha ! ha 1. But como hero,
take Ida, and bo happy ! I know she loves
you ! ha I ha !"
Georgo was bewildered and transported
had boon awakened from a pleasant
dream to a bright reality.
Matters wcro soou explained, and tho
warm hearted Judgo, after blessing thuro,
both, promised to see them married before
he started to Washington,

AN ARKANSAS GIUL'S 11ESENT
31ENT. A green, awkard girl, tho daughtor of
wealthy parents in Arkansas having come
to F-
-, in Mafsachuattta, to bo edu
cated, a young dentist named Brown,
conceived that his shortest road to fortune
would bo to marry her. But tlicu she
was the laughing stock of tho seminary,
becauso sho was so gaunt, masculine, and
ungontccl iu her dre-.s, and Brown felt
that it would require all his nervo to stand j
tho ridicule ot several ot tho young pupils 1
with whom ho had flirted until ho was
atisfied that they had no money or ex-
pectation of any.
However ho consoled hnnsclt witli tlio

influence enough over her to enable him
to become, in a measure, her advisor in
thc manner of costume, manners, ifcc.
--I.-.- - .T.i l. 1.1 i;i. -1 i--
The foremost thought was to amend her
long, lank form, by the aid of crinoline,
which sho had never worn, and his flat-
tery had no sooner centred him a con
fidential place iu her good graces, before
ho ventured to m-.iko her n present of a
jiatcnt skirt or sack, together with a hint
to fix up pretty handsomely for a ball, to
which he had invited her.
Tho night arrived, the party assembled,
and tho Arkansas damsel made her grand
entree from the ladies drcising room,
amid tho titter of laughter from tho
school girh and village belle-!. Tho hoop
sack was shockingly out of shape, pro
jecting in front liko tho spouting horn of
Nahaut ; but that was nothing to tho
expose it mado of somewhat incongruous
black hose, tho facinations of which wcro
somewhat augmented by tho yellow ro
settes of her whita satin slippers (men's
size) encasing her delicate feet. To com
plete Brown's horror, her flaxen head
and freckled faeo were ' set off" with a
profusion of green and yellow bow knot-,
of formidable tizo intended to do execu
tion as beau catchers.
Madder than sixty tho disappointed
dentist went through tho first dance with
her, taking little or no pains to conceal
his disgust, and then hurried away to tho
whist room to escape tho compliments aud
sarcastic ridicule of his old flames.
Tho unfortunate partner, was clear
grit, was deeply incensed when informed
of his abandonment, and tomo of thc
sympathisers advised hor to givo him tho
sack, i. c, dismiss him at once.
" I'll bo dodrottcd of I don't do it 'foro
tho hull crowd," sho replied in a boiling
passion, and making straight for the
i dressing room and followed by a bevy of
laughing girls, soou emerged with tho
hoop sack in her hand, aud threw it at
Brown's feet. " Thar, you mean, good
for uothiug shaker out of old snags !
Tako your old sack aud wear it yourself,
and cf I ketch you speaking to mo again,
I'll lick yo withiu an inch, o'ycr life;
you'd better believe it."
Hoars of laughter followed this spirited
conduct, and tho tooth puller was fain to
make his escape. Tho next day ho loft
tho Tillago, aud has not rcturnod to it.
Tho Arkansas girl beoamo a pet, and
finally made a very respectable appear-
anco in society.
"Aro you in love, Mary V
"Yea, mother."
"How much!"
"Well, I don't know exactly, but I
should think about five or thereabouts, for
I feel all e-verUk."

It had whito kid

the boy had died of disease of the heait,
and wuhed a certificate ot the surgeon and
immediate butial. At ono moment it ap -
pcared likely that tho whole affair would

, midnight shrieks and blood stained instru-.

I had hoard that sounds which convinced
I that thc mivcrablc wife had spent tho night
iu the frightful task of preparing the body
to pass a superficial investigation, and get-
ting rid ot tho traces of violence which
would tcatiM against her husband.
Then camo the real investigation. Tho
loves and tho stockings were stripped off,
and tho legs and arms of the corps wcra
found to bo covered with cxtravasatcd
blood tho "cellular membranes under tho
skin of the thighs wero reduced to a per-
fect jelly. Pact, all torn to pieces and lac-
rated by tho blows that had becu inflicted.
There were two holes iu tho right leg a
bout the size of a sixpence, and an inch
deep, which appeared to have been mado
by jabbing a thick stick into tho flesh.
Thu appearance was that of a human crea
ture who had been mangled by an infuria
tml .mil iiiptii1ps ;isfiilmit. All theso an-
pcerauccs coincided but too faithfully with
what we now learn of the conduct of tho

Always Boom Up Staiks. A young
man, who was thinking of studying law,
said to Daniel Webster :
"Mr Webster. I understand I'the pro

you think thero ia any chance for me !"
"There is always room up stairs," was
tho reply, and as truo as it was ingenious.
Only n few persons reach tho high
places, and thosu aro always in good de

Till-: WHITE1 MOUNTAINS.
Tho White Mountains havo often been
compared with tho celebrated mountains
of the Old World, and, almost invariably,
unfavorably. A recent writer, however
ono who, ovidently, has travelled in many
lands thus speaks of tho sccnory in tho
Whito Mountains, compared with that of
tho Scotch Highlands, or tho lower Alps,
or tho Jura : "Wherein," ho asks "is it
inferior? In no respect, to iny oyes," ha
answers ; ''but rather finer in its forms
and combinations. To bo suro, it lacks
tho magic of old associations ; but this if
it bo a defect is one which is soon for
gotten. The principal difference is ono
which applies to almost all American
sconcry. Virgin nature has a com
plete charm j( its own ; so has na
turo under subjection, cultivated, enriched

which is, wo fear, much neglected. His

I rather think you would. Another thin.r
yon should remember, and that is, that it
is much easier for each subscriber to raisa
his subscription than it would be for a poor
prorchcr to raiso tho sum total. You know
full well that your minister can't buy hU
goods payablo when yoursubscriptious aro
paid, but must get them ou six months aa
tho rest of you do, which ho does, and
agrees to pay, calculating, from your obli
gations to pay him semi-annually, which
not being done, he is subject to tho mer
chant's harrassing dull. And if (when
tho account is finally fettled, and it is a
grccd between tho merchant and minister
that ho may open another,) you could bo
bohind tho curtain in tho counting-room,
you might hear thd merchant say, "Clerk
wo can't afford to sell this reverend gen
tleman goods at the samo prices that wo
do to men who pay promptly, so you must
add about ten on regular prica3 to him,
and if wa can't make our own in this way
wo will, after this term, close tho account.'
See now tho condition of your minister.
