(1j t;)(, rilTr inhabitants tf North Amer
ica. 1 hose untutored children of nature, j
when their mental or physical faculties
were bcclc.ude 1 or benumbed, would dig
a hole iu the ground and therein pile lay
ers cf the weed. A light was applied to
the mass, and those who an derived would
lie down and inhale the invigorating funics
which nsceuded. Hut Tobacco, for aught
we know, may have been used as an arti
cle of human consumption ever since the
time when Adam trod alone the aisles of
the garden of Eden.
But whether its discovery was of ancient
or modern date has no bearing on the sub
ject. The edible qualities of the Potato,
an cFCuler.t which is admitted by every
body to be one of the greatest blessings
bestowed cn man by the Creator, were
discovered by accident only so late as the
i sixteenth century.
And here allow me to diverge, on
Walter Raleigh has th honor of introdu
cing both the Potato and Tobacco into
England. So, you who are disposed to

ask the yoiin man to visit his yoiin fam

tion of the younii man was so correct and
so clever that it could but be cf advantaa
to his children. This was a mistake, evi
dently, but it was a good-natured error,
and we can only wish, all of us. lhat thera
were many more committed, a have not
mentioned that there wa3 a beautiful
youn daughter of nineteen, but thatraaj
be always understood in an English fam
ily that has kuown wedded life luiitr enough.
Jul there were, of course, no attentions on
the part of the young man, other than ex
tremely delicate, reserved and proper.
This will always be the case with English
youth, as Americans well know. Don't

two or three daj-s' invitation to the bank-
j cr's sea:, to breathe thefresh air and clear
his 1 nr. gs of London smoke, was evidently
j very ill, and though he declared himself
well and robust, the bauker shook hii
head.
"I cannot make out what the matter is
with my young clerk," said the banker to
a confrere who was in his back office with
him, after the youth had just brought ia
some papers
"Well, you are rather -green I shoald
say, for a man of your time of life and ex
perience," said the banker number two.
"Don't you know what's the matter ? He's
in love."
"In love ! bah I Ila is modesty and
propriety itaclf."
"I tell you it is a fact, and with a rich
old fellow's daughter, who would no more
think of having hiiafor a son-in-law thaa
you would !''
"Oh, the naughty old fool, my clerk is
as good as his daughter, and be handed to
him. Thank you for the hint."
As soon as the hanker number two had
disappeared the clerk was called in.
"ao, sir, you are ia love, and pining

The youth was silent.
"Well, my boy, I pity you, but I'll gira

i fair, she's worth running a risk for.
L.oaX here, there are itouu, ana two months
leave of absence. Hun away with the
girl. Bah. don't look 60 stupid. I did
the same before you, and it has not hurt
me."
The clerk fell upon his marrow bones,
and was on the point of waking a clean
breast of it, when the old man rose and
left precipitately to avoid a scene. Tha
young man considerated and acted, and
the consequence was that the next day
week there was no young daughter at the
j dinner table of the banker at the country
house. Ihe house was iu consternatiou,
and the seare'i made for hr in all direc
tions. A note was however found on her
dressing table, conveying prayers for for
giveness, and one enclosed from the young
clerk stating that, believing that the bank
er had meant to give him a hint with re
gard to his daughter, and was not able ta
give his consent owing to appearances, ha
j had acted on his suggestion, and that ara
-his father-in-law" had received tha 1
ter, he (the clerk) would be his son-in-law.
