"Yes, I'll Jo Klph, even if she is a
soraggy, worth 'ess, hairless, dried up, yel
low, rinegar faced old maid. I'll marry
her : or rather her fortune !" And so say
ing he leaned himself back in his chair and
commenced puffing away as coolly at his
cigar as though marrying were the most
commonplace, uninteresting affair ever
dreamed of.
'Ton speak quite confidently, young
man," returned his companion, "perhaps
the laJy in question won't have you. Don't
be to conceited, if you have been called ir
reiLstaLle." "Fiddlesticks ! I guess my uncles fortune
ia the most irresistable part to the New
York belles, and I am certain now that my
"great expectations" have passed away,
there isn't two of tLem ever remember as
sociating with me. I tell you Ralph, love
is all moonshine ! a mere creature of the
fancy for I never seen a pretty girl yet
that could set my heart palpitating. Money
is what the poor briefless lawyer like myself
wants, not love ; its a great deal more sub
stantial, too."
"Don't doubt it ; but I wouldn't be tied
to an old rixon for a consideration," respond
ed fU!ph,"and in my opinion, Burt you are a
fool if you heave yourself away. There,
now, that advice is free gratis no fee asked
only tell me the whole story."
"I can do that in a few words. About
a week ago I saved a fine looking but gouty
old gentleman from being upset out of his
carriage cn Broadway. He was profuse in
his thanks, learned my name, said he knew
me by reputation, told me he was very
wealthy, with but one child, a daughter,
and if I would run down to Sea View, where
he intended to pans a few weeks, he would
make a match between me and her. I mod
estly suggested that the lady in question might
object,but he'insisted that bhe could not ; she
wasoWotoi to b'tmand heart whole. There
it is, rer-batim. I then made inquies of a
fnend what kind of a girl Mr. Lafourn's
laughter was, aad they told me she was a
srratrry old maid. I have her in my minds
eye but it's no draw back, fU marry for
money, and let her afterwards take to her
eats, just the same as she does now. That's
alL I am too lazy to work." And he re
lapsed into profound silence, wondering se
cretly what time on the morrow Mr. La
fourn and daught er would arrive.
"1 here, pa, you dear old goose, listen to
the description of your Nell ;" exclaimed
pretty little Nellie Lanfourn, anangingthe
curtains so the oM gentleman could heir
the conversation on the piazza between the
two young gentleman just meutioned.
"Confound his impudence." growled the
k! ffian, in a rage, bringing his cane down
hstiiy ; "I d like to see the wretch get my
Bwoey, even if he has got you mixed np
.'h your aunt Lucille I"
' Slightly mixed up, isn't it, Pa? But
after a.l how much the picture is like her :
aaJ she burst into a merry little laugh, that
caused a dozen littfc dimples to play hide
and setk around her cheeks and lips.
"He may be blessed ! I'll send for him
this moment, and I'll I'll I'll cane him !
aimost shouted the irate old gentleman.
"N'o, indeed, you won't Pa ! you let me
maiae him, won't you, Pa? Let him
come let him imagine Lucille is your daugh
ter and heiress, an 1 1 your niece, with no
expectations. We'll see how he will carry
himsejf."
-a the next day Mr. Albertin Oower
auej upon Mr. Lalourn, and was fortn
y introduced to Miss Lucille Gower. He
loiaired after the old gent's health very af
fwti.iaau:iy, onj s00n quire engross-
i'rtutly, in the conversation that
fcUrtcl ; but secretly he was eyeing his in
tended briJ.!, and he confessed to himself
-bat the enthusiastic descriptions he
had given his friend Ralph did not belie
tar, scarcely do her justice. But just
jh- the door opened, and a graceful young
-y. with a preat abundance of golden curls
nd very large brown eyes walked in.
-My my nioce, Mr. Gower; Mr. Gower,
Lee," observed Mr. Lafourn, and Miss
7 ' -"knowledge.! it with a slight but never
theless graceful bow.
Mr. Gower was enraptured, and the oon
tT on' u'ade his bride expectant more
'hculous ; however, he determined to act
part, and, as a chance presented itself
j" hi.pered in modulated tones to Miss
Gaulle that "he hoped to become better
Ojuainted with her," though he hated him
r "t ",ttree minutes after, when he saw
- !s Lee's mischief-looking eyes resting up
lm. and realized that th had heard
m too.
y after day he called, and proportion -f'

NelL She
accepted no attentions from her cousin's love,
so she mockingly assured him, and left him
more disparing than before.
At last he could not endure it any longer,
and accordingly sought an interview with
Mr. Lafourn.
"So you come to propose for my daughter,
Mr. Gower?" queried the gentleman, when
he was ushered in.
"No, I have not," he emphatically re
turned. ''I have come to make a confes
sion, to ask your forgiveness, and carve a
boon. You know how you come to make
the offer you did 1 Well, having been brought
up to believe myself independent, and to
study a profession more for pleasure than
aught else, after finding myself suddenly be
reft of all hopes, and poor, gladly accepted
your proposal. I scorned the idea of love ;
I vowed I loved my ease better than any
woman on earth, and though I was inform
ed your daughter was was '
"A scraggy old maid," slyly interposed
Mr. Lafourn, and Bart blushed at his own
remark, but proceeded
"I determined provided 6he would accept
me. to many her tor your money. There,
sir, is the truth, and I know I cannot be
but lowered irryour estimation. Since then
I have met your niece, and I've I've
"Fallen in love with he," observed the
father aiding him along.
"Yes, sir, exactly so ; and I'm willing if
she will have me, to give up all ideas of
wealth obtained by such a mean practice,
and go away and work bravely for her. Do
you think there is any hope ? Will you
forgive me ?"'
"Certainly" he responded promptly. "I
should not want my daughter wedded to
any man for uch mercenary motives. I'll
call Nell and see what she says." And suit
ing the action to the word, he summoned
Nellie.
"This gentleman has withdrawn his claim
to yoar cousin's hand," he observed, taking
Nellie by the hand, "and actually has the
audacity to ask for yours. Shall I tell him ?
"And I'm poor," Nellie," ejaculated Bart,
"but you shall see that I'm no conceited
jackanapes. I will go a way and commence
to practice my profession if you will only
give me hope."
Nellie looked at her father through her
blushes.
"But I wonld be a penniless bride
"And a'l the dearer I if you are not worth
working for, you are not worth having."
it then, sue returned slyly, you wait
a year ana ao not cnange your wirtd, it un
cle's willing "
"Which he will be," interrupted the gen
tleman, and so it was settled.
The ruse was still kept up. Mr. Lafonrn
gave letters of introduction to several influ
ential friends, and he went away and set np
work in earnest. For a while he was un
successful ; at last he began to be apprecia
ted, and he was on a fair way to prosperity.
At the end of the year he wrote and told
Mr. Lafourn how he had succeeded, and
asked if he had any objections to bis wed
ding taking place then. The required an
swer was returned, and when he arrived he
found his Nellie prettier than ever. Mr.
Lafourn said nothing, and Bart wondered
at nis giving sucn a costly weamng to bis
niece ; but when he, as the bride's father.
gave her away he was entirely dumbfounded.
As soon as the ceremony was over he rush
ed to his father-in-law :
"What does it mean?"
"It mean3 you have married my daugh
ter, sir," responded the happy parent, "and
we have been deceiving you all the while.
Lucille is my maiden sister."
Bart was paralyzed.
Your daughter?"
"And my money s I promised 1 Nellie
and I overheard your conversation, and I
determined to test you. We did so, and
Nellie insisted on your being tried, and "
"You have made a man of me," he ex
claimed, abruptly. "You have taken the
conceit out of me,"
But though rich he did not leave his pro
fession and enter into his careless, idle life
again ; be steadily pusnca bis way up ana
now is one of the most influential men of
the times, which he always avers is more
due to Nellie's strategem than "Marrying a
fortune."
The Lost Found. In a town not a thou
sand miles from White Mountains lives an
old farmer by the name of Tom P., who is
famous for nothing except the quantity of
dirt that is always seen upon his person.
The following story is told at his expense,
which may be true for aught I know to the
contrary. One time he was taken sick ; and
doctor was called in, who prescribed,
among? other things, that he should have a
warm bath. Tom rebelled at this ; but, upon
being told that his life depended upon it,
he consented, and a tub of warm water was
at once prepared by his better half, into
which was thrown a liberal quantity of soap.
A rough towel was then procured, and the
old lady commenced the task of cleaning,
for once, at least, her lord and master. After
working awny for several minutes, her eyes
were attracted by something bright that
shone through the dirt, and she worked
away with redoubled energy. Another spot
was soon visible a little way from the other ;
and, with a light in her eye that told her
joy at the discovery, she exclaimed :
"Diddy ! daddy ! I'm glad the doctor
told me to wash you ; for, as I live, here
are them trowsers that you lost two years
ago. I can tell 'em by the buttons."
The population of Dakota has increased
sixty-two per cent, the past year. Over
one thousand farms have been taken op by
emigrants under the pre-emption laws.
A MOTHER'S MANAGEMENT.
The dismal December night was closing
with stariess gloom, over the spires and
chimney tops of the city the blinding mis1
of snow flakes was wreathing its white pal
over all, and the wind, murmuring sadly
through the streees, seemed to have an al
most human wail in bis moan.
"It's an ugly kind of a night," muttered
Mr. Terryo to himself, as he buckled his fur
closer around his neck, "and a wind fit to
cut one in two. Hallo ! what's this ?"
He had very nearly stumbled over some
thing that looked like a bundle, crouching
at the foot of a flight of steps, in the shadow
of a ruinous old brick archway ; but, as he
checked himself abruptly, the bundle erect
ed itself into something human in shape and
looked at him through its wild, human eyes.
"Who are you!" he demanded, on the
impulse of the moment.
"Only me, sir little Tess."
"Please give me a penny, sir I" cried the
child, suddenly subsiding into the profess
ional whine of her trade. "Only a penny."
"Whew do you live?"
"I don't live nowhere,sir I skulks round
in the alleys."
"Oh, you do, eh ? and who takes care of
you ?"
"Cld Tim Daley used to, but he's took
up."
"Took up?"
"Sent to the Island, sir."
"Are you a boy, or a girl?"
(For the creature's tangled locks and rag
ged garb gave no clue to the sex.)
"I'm agirl, sir."
"You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
begging in the streets," said Mr. Terryn.se-
verely. "Why don't you work?"
As he approached his own door a bright
child's face peeped out between the curtain,
and as Mr. Terryn entered the cheery sitting
room, he could not but think with a re
morsjful pang, of the shivering bundle of
rags under tho brick archway beyond.
"It's none of my business," he thought
'"I dare say the police will pick the poor
little elt up, and take her where 6he'U be
better off."
But Mr. Terryn's conscience was less ada
mantine than he had given it credit for be
ing. It pricked him sorely as he sat toast
ing his slippered feet before the bright em
bers it whispered to him as he listened to
the lullaby wherewith his wife was lulling
the baby to sit ep upon her breats. Had
little Tess ever known a mother's care, or
beard a mother's cradle song? And she
could scarcely have been six years old either.
"Where are you going, my dear?" said
his wife, as he rose up suddenly.
"Out into the street- There was a child
there a little girl, crouching on some
steps "
"A child? Homeless? And on such
night as this? Oh, Herbert, you should
have brought her here !"
Five minutes afterwards Mr. Terryn was
out in the driving whirlwinds of suow, bend
ing over the small stray who was bundled
up, just where he had left her.
"Here, child, where are you?"
But there was no answer. Little Tess
was benumbed and stupefied by the cold.
He lifted her up, a poor little skelleton
wrapped iu a miserably thin coating of rags
and feeling strangely light in his arms, and
carried her home. Mrs. Terryn met him
at the door.
, "Oh, Herbert, what a poor little starved
wretch! Her hands are just like bird's
claws."
Charley looked on in breathless interest at
the process of feeding, warming and restor
ing some vitality to the torpid object,
When little Tess opened her eyes, it was
to the glow of warm fire and the mellow
sparklo of gaslights.
"Am I dead?" cried the child, "and is
this Heaven?"
"Poor little creature!" said Mrs. Terryn,
bursting into tears.
"Tesora," her name proved to be a
sweet Itallian synonym for the word "treas
ure," and a treasure she was, in the gentle
Mrs.Terryn'8 eyes, especially after her little
babe was dead and hurried.
"How Tesora grows," said Mrs. Terryn
suddenly, as the beautiful girl came in, rosy
and srciling, from a walk. "Why she is as
tall as a grown woman,"
"How old is she?"
"Sixteen, day before yesterday."
"Is it possible," said Mr. Terryn.thought-
fully. "How time slips away ! Tesora six-
seen I Why, then' Charley must be twen-
ty!"
It is true, my dear," said his wife. "We
are getting to be old people, now !"
4lI wonder what will become of Tesora,"
said Mr. Terryn, musingly. "She would
make a capital governess, her education has
been so thorough or"I
Father," Raid Charles Terryn, resolutely,
as he walked up in front of his father and
stood with folded arms, "I can tellyou what
will become of Tesora I She is to L my
wife!"
"Nonsense!" ejaculated Mr. Terryn.
"Charley," said Mrs. Terryn, when the
indignant father had jerked himself out of
the room, "don't waste your breath in ar
guing with yoar father. Argument never
conquered yet, in such a case as this."
"But what am I to do?"
"Have you spoken to Tess yet ?"
"No."
"Wait then let matters rest I will man
age it?"
So Mrs. Terryn gave little dinner parties
and nelect soirees, and "brought out" Tes
ora, according to the regular programme.
She made a sensation. Mrs. Terryn had
known that she would. Tesora was a belle
aqneenof fashion. Suiters congregated
around her.
"Well Tess," said Mr. Terryn one night
he was getting wondrously proud of his
adopted daughter's success iu the world of
Society "are you going out to-night?"
"Yes, papa." .
"Whom with?"
"Colonel Randolph."
"I thought Charley had taken a box in
the opera for you !"
"I promised Col. Randolph first," said
she, languidly playing with her fan.
"And how about to-morrow night? Isup
pose Charley could get hi3 tickets transfer
red." "I am sorry, sir, but I am engaged for to
morrow night."
Mr. Terryn rose and walked restlessly up
and down the room. He was a man much
guided by the opinions of his fellow men.
Tesora must be a treasure, else why this com
petition among the young millionaires for
her society.
"Look here, Tess Charley will be so dis
appointed." "I can't help it. Let me see" and she
glanced at her tablets "Fiiday is the only
evening I have disengaged."
"Fiddlesticks!" muttered the old gehtle
man, uneasily. "It seems to meyou're get
ting to be a great belle, Miss!"
"Am I, papa I" said Tess, laughing, "but
you see I am your own little girl still."
And she gave hiui a coaxing kiss.
"My own little girl yes but what will
you become when Col. Randolph or Dayton
L' Estrange, or some other of these scamps,
takes you away from me !"
Tesora blushed until the rose on her cheek
was like a carnation.
"They will not, papa."
"Won't they? I'm not altocether sure of
that."
But the next afternoon he came ho ne front
his office with a puzzled iace.
"They have come, Tess !"
"What have come?"
"The offers of marriage two of 'em, by
Jupiter! Col. Randolph and Mr. Dupi
nier! What do you say Tess?"
"I I must think of it. papa."
"Very gentlemanly. I must say both
well off, substantial fellows, and profess to
be desperately in love with my girL But,
Tess"
"Well, sir?"
"You won't leave us, dear? Think how
desolate theold house will be withoutyou!'
Tesora was silent her head dropped.
"Father," said Mrs. Terryn, gontly, "let
the gii I decide for herself. We have no right
to stand between her and a home and
a husband of her own."
"But she might have a home and a bus
band of her own here !" burst in Mr. Ter
ryn. "That is I mean Charley "
"I have refused Charley to-day !" said
Tesora, calmly.
"Refused Charley! And Why?"
"Because I have reason to believe that
his suit was pressed without the approval of
of his father. Oh, sir, could you think that,
after al! your kindness, I could steal your
son's duty away from you ! I would rather
die!"
"Spoken like yourself. Tess," said Mrs.
Terryn, going to her and kissing her.
"Tess. do you love him?" eagerly ques
tioned the father.
"That has nothing to do with the ques
tion, sir, she answered, reservedly.
"But I want to know;" he insisted.
"I do love him, then."
"And you have refused him only because
I didn't approve I
"Yes, sir."
"But I do approve, Tess! tt would make
me the happieit old father in the world, if
I could call you both children in real truth."
Charles Terryn rose from his seat and
came eagerly forward,
"Tesora dearest yob hear him. Once
more I ask you to be my wife!"
And Tesora hid her face on his shoulder
weeping but Tesora was very happy, nev
ertheless !
"But, my love," said Mrs. Terryn softly,
"what has wrought such a change in your
sentiments?"
"I I don't know," said theold gentle
man, evavisely. "I say, Tess, what shall
I tell the colonel and Mr. Dupinier?"
"Tell them, sir," spoke up Charley"that
she has a previous engagement."
And so the mother a management pre
vailed, and little Tess's first home was her
last.
One of the most complex family relations
is that described as follows by Dan Bry
ant t "I married a young widow, who
lived with her step daughter J my fit her,
shortly after, married the step-daughter.
My wife was, therefore, the mother in law.
and my wife's step-daughter is my step
mother. Well, my step mother-that is
say, my father's wife and my wife's daugh
ter had a son. He is my step brother, of
course ; but, being the son of my wife's
s'ep-danghter. my wife is of conrse his
grand-mother and I am his grand-father as
well as his step-brother. My wife also had
a boy. My step-mother is consequently the
step-sister of my boy, and also his grand
mother, because he is the child of her step
son, and my father is the brother-in-law of
my son, who is the son of my step-mother.
I am my mother's brother-in-law, my vife
is the aunt of her own son, my son is the
grand-son of my father, and I am my own
grandfather."
