EARNING A WIPE.
"And so you want to marry my daughter,
young man," said farmer Blifkins, removing
the pipe from bis mouth, and looking at the
young fellow sharply from head to toe. i
Despite his rather indolent, effeminate air,
which was mainly the result of his educa
tion, Luke Jordan was a fine-looking fellow.
n;-t easily moved from his self-possession ;
tint he colored and grew confused beneath
that sharp, scrutinizing look.
"Yes, sir. I spoke to Miss Mary last
evening, and she referred me to you." "
The old man's face softened.
"Molly is a good girl, a very good girl,"
lesid, stroking his chin with it thoughtful
air, "and deserves a good husband. What
can you do?"
The young man looked blank at this ab
rupt inquiry.
"If you refer to my ability td support a
wife I can assure you " .
"I k'uow that you are a rich '. man, Luke
Jordan, but I take it for granted that you
ny girl to marry you, not your property.
W hat guarantee can you give me, in case it ,
should be swept away as it is ia thousands
of insta'ne? tit you could provide for her
a comfortable home ? You have hands and
brains do youk now how to use them? Again
1 ak, wuat can you do I '
This style of catechism, for which Lule
wi quite unprepared, caused him to stare
blankly at the questions without speaking.
"I believe you manned to get through
colic ee have you any profession?"
"No, bit; I thought "
"Ilave you any trade?"
"No, sir; my father thought that, with
the wealth I should inherit, I should not
need any."
"Tour father thought like a fool, then.
He'd much better have given you some hon
t ocenpation and cut you off with a shilling-
it might have been the making of you.
Ai it is, what are you fit for? Here you
ire, a strong, able-bodied young man, twenty-four
years old, and never earned a dollar
ia your life 1 You ought to be ashamed of
yourself. " .
"And you want to marry my daughter,"
resumed the old man after a few vigorous
puffs at his pipe. "Now I've given Molly
u (rood advantages for learning as any girl
in town, and she hasn't thrown 'em away;
but if she didn't know how to work, she'd
no daughter of mine. If I chose, I could
keep more than one servant; but I don't, no
more than I choose that my daughter should
be a pale, spiritless creature, full of dyspep
sia and all manner of fine-lady ailments, in
stead of the smiling,' bright-eyed, rosy
heed lass she is. I did say that she should
marry no lad that had been cursed with a
rich father ; but she's taken a foolish liking
to you, and I'll tell you what I'll do : go to
work, and prove yourself to be a man ; per
fect yourself in some occupation I don't
care what, so it be honest ; then come to m3
nd if the girl is willing, she is yours."
As the old man said this, he deliberately
knocked the ashes out of his pipe against
one of the pillars of the porch where he was
fitting, tucked it into his vest pocket, and
fnt into the house. ''
Pretty Mary Blifkins was waiting to see
ter lover down , by the garden-gate, their
nsual trysting place. . The smiling light fa
ded from her eves as she noticed nis sober
wscmnfitcd look.
''Father means well,' she said, as Luke

"And I'm not sure-but what he's right,"
fw resumed, after a thoughtful pause, "for
teems to me that every main, be he . rich
' Poor, ought to have some occupation."
. Tben. as she noticed her lover's grave
wyhc added softly:
-Never mind; I'll wait for your Luke."
, .Luke Jordan suddenly disappeared from
w accustomed haunts, much to the surprise
wins gay associates. But, wherever he
he carried in his, exile these , words,
which were a tower of strength to his
"J- "Ml wait for you, Luke."

will just suit you."
whos mk are they?" inquired the
old man, as, opening the gate,' he paused by
me wagon. -"Mine,"
replied Luke, with an air of par
donable pride ; "and I challenge any cooper
in the State to beat them."
Mr, Blifkins examined them critically one
by one.., '' '.. . . , ; .. - , ', k
"They'll do,',' he said coolly, as he set
down the last of the lot. "What will ye
take for them?" : )
' 'Wbat I asked you fo six months ago to
day your daughter, sir."
The roguish twinkle in the old man's eyes
broadened into a smile. , '
. : "You've got the right metal in you . after
all," hexjried.- "Come in, lad come in. I
shouldn't wonder if we made a trade after
all.". . . . ,
Nothing loth, Luke obeved. ' " " ' '
"Molly I" bawled Mr. Blifkins, thrusting
his head into the kitchen door,' .. ."
Molly tripped out into the entry. The
round, white arms were bare above the el
bows, and bore traces of the flour sho had
been sifting. Her dress was a heat gingham,
over which was tied a blue checked apron ;
but she looked as winning: and lovely as she
always did wherever she was found. '
ebe blushed and smiled as she saw Luke,
and then, turning her eyes upon her father,
waited dutifully to hear what he had to say.
The old man regarded his daughter for a
moment with a quizzical look: -
Molly, this young man maybe, rou ve
seen him before has brought- pie a lot of
tubs and barrels, all of his own make a
right eood article, too. He asks a pretty
steep price for 'em ; but if you are willing
to give it, well and good; and hark ye, my
girl, whatever bargain

As Mr. ishfkins said this, he considerately
stepped out of the room, and we will follow
his example, liut the kind of bargain the
young people made can be readily coniec-
tured by the speedy wedding that followed.
Luke Jordan turned his attention to the
study of medicine, of which profession he
became a useful and influential member;" but
every year, on the anniversary of his mar
e, he delights his father-in-law by some
specimen of the handicraft by which he won
what he declares to be the best and dear

young swain who had seen Kate on a previ
ous Occasion, and seeing, fell deeply in love
with her. He called at the house on the
evening 6f her arrival, and she met him on
the piazza, where she was enioyingthe even
ing air in company with two or three of her
rriends. The poor fellow was so bashful
that he could not find his tongue for some
time. At length he stammered out :
"How's your mother?"
"Quite well, thank yoa." . ,
Another silence on the part of Josh, du
ring which Kate and her friends did the best
they could to relieve the monotony. After
waiting about fifteen minutes for him to
commence to make himself agreeable, he
again brrke the spell with
"How's your father ?" which was answer
ed much after the same fashion ai the first
one, and then followed another silence like
the other.
"How's your father and mother?" again
put in the bashful lover.
"Quite well, both of them." This was
followed by an exchange of glances and a
suppressed smile.
This lasted some ten minute. more, du
ring which Jot-h was fidgeting in his seat
and stroking his S-inday hat. But at length
another question came
"How's your parents?"
This produced an explosion that made
the woods ring.
Sometime. It is a sweet song flowing to
and fro among the topmost boughs of the
heart, and fill the whole air with such joy
and gladness as the birds do, when the sum
mer morning comes out of the darkness, and
the day is born on the mountains. We have
all our possessions in the future, which we
call "sometime." Beautiful and sweet
singing birds are there, only our hands sel
dom grasp the one, or our ears hear, except
in far off strains, (he other. But, oh, rea
der, be of good cheer, for to all the good
there is a golden "sometiae!" When the
bills and valleys of time are all passed, when
the wear and the fever, the disappointment
and the sorrow of life is over, then there is
the peace and the rest appointed of God.
Oh, homestead, over whose blessed roof falls
no shadow of. even clouds, across whose
threshold the voice of sorrow is never heard ;
built upon the eternal hills, and standing
with thy spires' and pinnacles of celestial
beauty amonsr the palm trees of the city on
high, those who love God shall rest under
thy shadows, where there is no'more sorrow,
nor pain, nor the sound of weeping.
WfiAt is a Darling. It is a dear, little,
beaming girl who meets one on the door
step; who flings her arms around one's
neck, and kisses one with her whole soul of
love ; who seizes one' hat ; who relieves
one of one's coat, and hands the tea and
toast so prettily: who places her elfish form
at the piano and warbles forth unsolicited,
such delicious songs : who casts herself at
one's footstool, and clasps one's hand, and
asks eager,1 unheard of questions, with such
bright eyes aud flashing face, and on whose
light flossy curls, one places one's hand and
breathes 'God Mens her I" as the fairy
form departs.M But there is an angel follow
ing her footsteps who is not visible to us,
but who is anxious to bear our darling from
us, and in the mind's eye its white shadow

In the autobiosraohv nf tha Rmnornr Ja-
hanguier is an account of the wonderful feats
ot some Indian, conjurors, exhibited for the
amusement of the imperial court,' which
throw in the shadeall the efforts of our Hel
lers, JUartzes and Hermanns. The follow
ing are some of their performances as rela
ted by the emDeror: -
' The jugglers were first desired to produce
upon the spot, from the seeds one hundred
mulberry trees. They immediately sowed
in separate places, seeds in the ground, and
ia a few minutes after a mulberry plant was
tteen springing trom each of the seeds, each
plant as it rose in the air shooting forth
leaves and branches, and yielding excellent
IIUK. ,v- ,
In the same manner, by a similar magical
process, apple trees, mangoes, fig trees, al
mond and walnut trees were created, all
producing fruit,' which, Jahanguier assures
us, was exquisite to the taste. :
, Before the trees were removed there aD
peared among the foliage birds of such sur
prising beauty in color, shape, and melody
of song, as the world never saw before. , At
the close of the operation, the foliage, as in
autumn, was seen to put on its variegated
tints,' and the trees gradually-disappeared
into the earth from which they had been
made to spring. One night, and - in the
very middle of the night, when half this
globe was wrapped in darkness, one of these
seven men stripped himself almost naked,
and having spun himself round several
times, he took a sheet, with which he cov
ered himself, and from beneath the sheet
drew out a resplendent mirror, by the radi
ance of which alight so powerful was pro
duced as to have illuminated the hemisphere
to an incredible distance round to such a
distance, indeed, that we have the attesta
tion of travelers to the fact, who declared
that on a particular night, the same night
on which the exhibition took place, and at
the distance ot teu days' journey, they saw
the atmosphere so powerfully illuminated
as to exceed the brightness of the brightest
day they had ever seen.
They placed in my presence a large seeth
ingpot or cauldron, and filling it partly with
water, they threw into it eight ot the small
er mauns of irak of rice ; when, without an
plication of the smallest spark of fire, the
cauldron forthwith began to boil : in a little
while they took off the lid, and drew from it
nearly a hundred : platters! uL each with a
stewed fowl at the top. - L
They produced a man whom they divi
ded limb from limb, actually severing his
head from his body. They scattered these
mutilated members along the ground, and
in this state they lay for some time:
They then extended a sheet or curtain e
ver the spot, and one of the men, putting
himself uuder the sheet, in a few minutes
came from balow, followed by the individual
supposed to have been cut into joints, in
perfect health and condition, and one might
have safely sworn that he had never receiv
ed wound or injury whatever.. They caused
two tents to be set up, the one at a distance
ot bo,7ehot from the other, the doors or en
trance being exactly opposite ; they raised
the tent walls around, and desired that it
might be particularly observed that they
were entirely empty. Then, fixing the tent
walls to the ground, two of the seven men
entered, one into each tent. .Thus prepar
ed, they said they would undertake to bring
out ot the tents any animal we chose to
mention, whether .bird or beast, and set
them in conflict with each other. Khanne-
Jahaun, with a smile of incredulity, order
ed them to show us a battle between t woos
t riches. In a few minutes, two ostriches of
the largest size issued one from either tent,
and attacked each other with such fury that
the blood was seen streaming from their
heads ; ani they were at the same time so
equally matched that neither could get the
better of the other, and they were, there
fore, separated by the men, and conveyed
within the tents.
In short, they continued to produce from
either tent any animal we chose to name,
and before our eyes set them to fieht in the
manner I have attempted to describe ; and,
although I have exerted my utmost to dis
cover the secret of the contrivance, it has
been so far entirely without success.
They were furnished with a bovr and a-
bout fifty 6teel pointed arrows. One of the
seven men took the bow in hand, and shoot
ing an arrow into the air, the shaft stood
fixed at a considerable height ; he shot a
second arrow, wtlch Hew straight to the
first, to which it became attached, "and so
with every one of the "remaining arrows, to
the .last of all, which, striking the sheaf sus
pended in the air, the whtle immediately
broke asunder and came to the earth.
They produced a chain fifty cubits in
length, and in my presence threw one end of
it toward the sky, where it remained as if
fastened to something in the air.
A dog was then brought foreward, and
being placed at the lower end of the chain,
instantly ran up, and reached the upper end,
immediately disappeared in the air.
In the same manner a hog, a panther, a
lion, and a tiger, were alternately sent up
the chain, and all equally disappeared at the
upper end of the chain.
At last they took down the chain and put
it into a bag, no one even discovering in
what way the different animals were made
to vanish into the air, in tbemysterious man
ner above described. . This 1'tnay, venture
to affirm, was beyond measures strange and
surprising. ' ' -
A young lady, possessing more vanity
than personal charms, remarked in a jesting
tone, but with an earnest glance that she
"travelled on her good looks. A rejected
lover being present, remarked that he could
"now account for the young lady never hav
ing been far from home. "
The editor who said that his mouth never

The Plea for Beautiful Churches.
. The Bishop of Cork, in preaching at. the
opening of a new church in his diocese,
made the following plea for beautiful church
es . ; A teel personally, of course, as a Bish
op, very much gratified at what I see, and I
am very glad tbat this pleasing specimen of
architecture is by one of our own commu
nion and an architect of our own town. The
Almighty Creator himself, we may say with
out irreverence, delights in beauty. All the
forms of nature are beautiful The shape
of the heavens is beautiful ; the moon walk
ing in her brightness is beautiful ; the sun
rises and sets in beauty. All creation is
formed in beauty; and, my Christian friends,
there IS no reasnn whv fiKmilrl nnt .,

Nothing but the hautv nf nrrlpr tha Luno

beauty of speech. What are the higher
sciences? The beauty of reason. - It 1s con
trary to God's design, and contrary to our
nature, that we should not make use of those
things that God seems to delight in." ;i
, He added : "Any new church erected in
the United diocese must tw snbmittod tn ma
before it can be opened for divine service,
and I would cut off my right arm before I
would sanction anything that would lessen
the benefits to be conferred upon the neonle

we desire to have, as we have, our houses
not only sufficient to protect us from th

! r! A Wonderful Watch.
' The Mechanics Magazine says: 'A re
markable mechanical curiosity has recently
been constructed in London. It is a watch
belonging to a member of Parliament, and
designed and made expressly for him by Ja.
Ferguson Cole.the celebrated London watch
maker. This unique pocket chronometer has
a silver dial, on which are nine hands; indi
cating respectively the hours, minutes and
seconds, the days of the week, the days of
the month, and the months of the year.' It
corrects itself for unequal months that is
to say, changes when they have thirty and
when thirty-one days, and also corrects itself
for leap year. It is so constructed that any
slight agitation of tbe watch, such as the
ordinary exercise of walking, winds it up.
Thus it may be worn and will go perfectly
for years without requiring even to be open
ed, although it can also be wound by a key
in the usual manner. The dial is arranged
in five circles, and within the largest (the
hour circle) there is a semi-circle showing
the moon's age and phases by means of gold
on a ground of blue steel. At the back , of
the watch is a gold indicator for ascertain
ing' the time in the dark by touch. The
complication of the mechanician! may be
imagined, and yet the watch is of ordinary
dimensions, and may be conveniently worn
in a gentleman's pocket It cost the sura of
three hundred guineas.'
