look of slartsyspringing away from her
cousins, and ensconing herself opposite.
'So much the better,' cried Bell, with a
merry laugh, 'we can have a good time

Annie, what a fright.'
The young man unbuttoned the coach
door himself, for the horses were going up
hill, and springing up the steps rather
awkwardly, on account of a large portman
teen he had, seated himself on the scat
near and Annie exchanged
loaks_and bit their lips.
Milli hugged the back of the coach,
blushing crimson with shame for her cous
ins, end the country greeny, who wore a
very much. soiled coat and a shocking cap,
over which a light, thin handkerchief was
thrown, and festened under his chin, look

could not but notice that the object of their
mirth was himself, hesuddeuly put his band
to his throat, as if to untie his uncouth cap
strings—i e., the ends of - the handker
chief—but pausing, he seemed to change
his mind, and let them alone.
,'Won't you have my viniagrotte, Milly
dear,' said Bell, with an link smile, end a
side glance at the stranger.

laugh, for the poor girl's checks were' 'dis

'4l thank you,' said Milly, with id' aria&

iu a low tone, 'coma Dlilly, you had better

you havn't quite room enough ea :kat

The thoughtless girl started, for a blaz
ing back eye flashed upon het; It was only
for a second though, that quick, piercing
glance with the fire of fifty outraged digni
ties concentrated within her.
'lf you please, cousin Bell,' said Milly
with more spirit than they dreamed she
possessed, 'don't annoy me any more;
am better pleased with my sent than with
your rudeness ;' and the pretty lip trem
bled again and the pretty face looked as if
it was going to cry.
The young man turned quickly ; the
hard expression that had gathered about
his mouth, melted intosomething akin to a
pleasant smile, while the two rebuked cous
ins were very angry, as any one might have
seen.
Thom was no more comment until the
coach stopped again, this time to take up
a fat old lady, with a well-worn bonet,
loaded down with innumerable bandboxes
and bundles, most of which she insisted
upon carrying into the coach with her.—
Ibere was pletity material for the Merri
ment of the thoughtless sisters. Bell de
clared that the bandboxes must have once
contained Mrs. Noah's best bonet, and
Annie persisted that if so, that identical
bonnet was before them.
No sooner was the coach door open than
out sprang the stranger, and taking bun•
dies and sundry things from the old lady,
deposited them carefully on the inside ;
all but. one, which she seemed very choice
about; but just as she had performed the
laborious feat of stepping just within the
door, down rolled the paper with a crash ;
something was destroyed, and Bell and
Annie, enjoying her , real distresa at the
accident, burst into another impertipent
laugh.
The old lady could not avoid lookingeo
ward them, tad as her hair was a little
awry and her speotacles crooked, she 'Un

The gushed cheeks of 801 l grew instant.

ion, on whose face a similar reaction had
also taken place.
'My son, Professor L—, lectures in
Taunton to-night, and as I have seldom the I
pleasure of listening to him, he is so often
and so far away, I tbought'l would make
an effort to visit your father—l am glad he

'you have his eyes and his forehead—l

ed hie cap, drawn off his handkerchief, and
was wiping the moisture from his magnifi

hung thick and shall have the I
pleasure also of meeting my son at your
house, and acquainting him with your po
liteness to a strange old woman who has
been the subject of some not very flatter

remarks.' She did not glance this
time toward the young ladies ; if she had
she would have pitied them, they sat cow
ering down completely crest-fallen. It
was . indeed a pretty kettle of fish they had
prepared for themselves. They, too, were i
going for the express purpose of hearing!
Professor - L—, one of the most brilliant
lecturers of the day, and who had almost
been bewitched by the sparkling beauty of '
Bell Grosvenor, when a guest at her fath
ers in the city ; so much so that he had
been heard to declare that he knew not a
nother woman who appeared to possess so
many desirable qualities for a wife. And
strangely enough they were going to the
very house of the new they had so gross
ly-insulted ; for they never could have
dreamed the gawky to be the only son of
their mother's friend, the rich and influen
tial Dr. 4atnes. They knew indeed that
ho was returning from his tour iu Europe,
but his travel stained attire, and hie si
lence, completely deceived them.

the next day. They could not endure to

his mother, but they had learned a lesson
which they will probably treasure for life
—not to judge by externals, and to treat

A Gmio JUKK.—A gentleman at !loll•
Springs, Miss., tells in a Southern paper
the following laughable story, end vouelies
for its truth. It has taken the starch out
of our cheeks, equal to anything we have
read lately :
It appears that a widower in that town,
of a somewhat gallant dispositinn, Iwd
been accustomed to visit the residence ul
the widow M., whether to see the amiable
widow herself, or her lively daughters, our
informant did not know. One evening lie
found the family hard at work on some
garments of cloth. The girls were sew
ing and the widow was pressing the seams.
The widower "hung up his hat," as usual,
and took his seat by the lire. Just at that
1110111Clit it happened that the widow had
done with the pressing iron, vulgarly call
ed a tailor's goose. Sue set it down on the
hearth and called to the negro in a loud
voice :
"Jake! Jako ! come take out this goose."
'The widower started up with astonish
ment; not knowing what to make of this
abrupt order.
"Jake, do you hear me ?" again exclaim
ed the widow.
"I beg your pardon, Mrs. M.," said the
widower, with visible agitation, "but pray
don't call Jake. If you wish me to leave
your house, I will go at once, without the
interference of servants."
The ladies roared with laughter, an' it
took some moments to explain to the
chagrined widower his mistake. lie has
not been known to VW% the widow M.,
since that memorable evening.

MR. VAN BUREN'S NON-CONEITTALISN•
—The Knickerbocker for September is
rerponsible for the following hit at Mr.
Van floren's nomeommittalirm:
Coining down on the upper deck of an
Albany steamer one dly, many years ago,
party_of gentlemen, as the bunt neared
Kisiderldlok landing, were discussing the
merits of Martin Van Buren. Some prais
ed, while others condemned him ; and
while they were discussing the question,
the boat landed, and In I Mr. Van Buren
himself Caine On board. One oldie party
'hid been dwelling on his noncom mittalism;
and complaining that "a plain answer to
plain question was never yet elicited from
him,' etc. ' "I'll wager champagne for
the company," said he, iot length, "that
one a iv, .1 0 11 Ku down now, and a4k Mr.
Van Buren the sln►plent question that can
ho thought of, and he will evade a direct
answer. Yee, and give him► leave, too,
to tell him why ho asks the question, and
that there is a bet depending on hie reply."
This seemed fair enough, certainly, for to
be forewarned was to be forearmed. One
of the party was deputed to go down and
try the experiment. lie found Mr. Van
Buren, whom he knew well, in the saloon,
and said to him. "Mr. Vats Buren, sonic
gentlemen on the upper deck have been
accusing you of non-conunittalison ; and
have just laid a wager that you wouldn't
give a plain answer to the simplest quell- !
lion ; and they have deputed me to test
the fact. Now, Mr. Vats Buren, let one
ask you, were doer the sun rise 1" Mr.
Van Buren's brow contracted; be hesitated
a moment, and thesis replied; "The term*
said and west, Mr. —, are conventional;
but —,.--" "That'll do," interrupted liis
interrogator ; "we've low the bet 1"
The man who was hurl by a burst of
applause, is recovering; and the individu
al who was injured: by the accidental die
elmrge of his is-stor vertrow.
