He had such peculiar ways, and said such peculiar things; and he wcr.t about as if he was in a somnambulic state almost j that is, I don't quite mean that, but he never seemed to take the . same notice ot what happened about him that other men do. And, as to his ever being surprised at anything, I never knew him to show surprise on but one occasion of his life. What that occasion vas, 1 shall mention before I have done. His name was Joseph Harrison, and he was a student at the academy in Sarjford -one of the stylo of academies tint seem to have nearly gone out ot date now, where both sexes were taught under the r T . . l i.i o r -i l l same roor. a attenaeu cue oanioru scnooi. j The principal'? house was on the corner across the way from the academy, and he boarded a dozen students. I wa3 one of these boarders. I shall never forget the day Mr. Harri son came to the house to board. 1 was pitting on the second floor piazza, studying. It was late in a summer afternoon. As he entered the gate, I leaned over to look at him, and when he was just underneath I chanced to drop my book. It struck him on the shoulder, :md from thence fell to the ground. He turned and looked at it quietly, and then poked it aside with his big cane. What does ho carry that big cane for ' thought I, or why don't he pick up my book, or look up at me, or uo anything that a rational being would ? He ran"- the bell, and I saw no more of r ,er, re?

Young Harrison, as unconcerned as a post, had returned to his inspection of the painting he seemed to admire so much. Mr. Kedway went off with the doctor. The knife lay on the table. Out of pure impudence, or some similar feeling, I took up this knife, and accidentally cut the end of one of my fingers. I screamed loudly, for it was a horrid wound, and the blood flowed copiously. "Well, upon my word," remarked Mr. Harrison, "here's another." Another! How contemptuous the word sounded to me. I, Margaret Eailey Monroe, confessed a belle, a beauty, and a lady of rare accomplishments, besides being heiress to a hundred thousand dollars. I was just "another!" 'Why didn't he call me a person, and hare done with it. Well, what would he do with my frightful wound 'I "Mix a little flour and put it on. That will 6top the bleeding. It is a mere trifle." It may have been a trifle, but ; it was enough to make me swoon. Or perhaps I swooned out of downright, vexation at the man.' When I recovered, he was gone. Bye- ana-bye, wneu iiella and 1 were alone we roomed together I asked her what Harrison said ard did when I fainted. "He said," Bella answered, "lay her hand on her back and leave her alone." "Is that all he said?" "No, not quite. Some one brought the flour and salt, and he put them on your fioger and said : 'There, tie the rag around it.'" " " A rag ! I should certainly hate this young man. After that, he became such an obiect of interest to me that I could scarcely keep mv mind o2 him an hour at a time. I was not long in learning something of his history. It seems that a love of adventure sent him on a cruise around the world, when he was a boy of about six teen, both lua parents being dead.

After tea we gathered ia the parlor, as we were in the habit of doing, and he was introduced to me. Ho bowed, and then for the first time he looked at me, or rather he looked through me, as if he saw something behind me and my head were as transparent as glass'. Then he smiled and turned away. I confess I was provoked at the manner of the young man. What amused him, I should like to know. When Belle Har rison asked me afterward how I liked her cousin, I said I didn't like him at all. Somebody risked me to sing. I seated myself at the piano, and crave a song in emy a short time, to correct a certain lack in his education. This explained why a man of his advanced age should be attend ing school for he was twenty-one it he was a uay, lclla assured me. I myself was about seventeen. I was the only female student of German i-n the academy, and it was on that account that Mr. Harrison manifested some degree of interest in me, 1 almost enuiusiastic in that scholastic tongue, deal of him after all. The following winter, at a parly at Mrs. Sand's, in Sanford, one bitter cold night, I chanced to be alone with Nellie Wells one moment in an upper chamber, which wa3 used as a cloak room for the lady's guest. Ihere was a furious fire in the stove, and its sides were red hot. Nelly was a very pretty girl, but rather dull suppose, for he wa? his aamiration of So I saw a good aarain. It was in the summer of the year which saw me pass my twentieth birthday, that we met at Niagara Falls. He was there with his cousin, my dear friend Belle Harrison, and I with my sister and mother. On a certain day we were all taking a walk on Goat Island, when mother dropped her parasol, and it slid down the bank some fifteen or twenty feet, out of reach. Mr. Harrison descended the bank after it; but though he used proper caution, his foot slipped on the treacherous soil, as he was returning, and he slid very rapidly down to the very edge of the precipice. I expected uothinc: else but to stc him go over and be dashed to pieces on the rocks a hundred feet below j buc though the three other ladies screamed loudly, I' did not. You see, I was pretty thoroughly dVifled by Ihis' time. However, as Mr. Harrison neared the edge of the precipice, he threw out his right hand still hold ing the parasol with his left and seized the upturned roots of a tree which leaned over the chasm. The tree shook vio lently under the sudden shock, and the roots began to tear themselves out of the thin soil slowly and steadily, under the influence of this superadded weight. In a few minutes more it would give way, and then Mr. Harrison would be killed. I knew mv face was pale, and 1 was ter ribly frightened j but I leaned forward and spoke to him: "Tell me what to do." "Take all the ladies' shawls, skirts, and any other articles of dress that you can spiro and which are strong; cut them in wide, strong strips ; tie them firmly to cretucr and make a rope." I obeyed as calmly as I knew he would have done, but none the les3 expeditiously ou that account, be very sure. He con tinued speaking at intervals while I was doing his bidding, and spoke deliberately as if he stood in safety by my side. "Your calmness' is quite charming, Miss Monroe," said he. "Ba 6ure and make the knots tight. I judge that this tree may be relied on with perfect confi dence for ten minutes yet. Your rope is 1 had received the best musical What mysterious influence was upon me, l aia not know ; tor it ever 1 thoroughly disliked a person in my life, I certainly disliked this Harrison. But it is true, notwithstanding, that I sang for him : and when I turned away from the piano, it was with some special curiosity my best manner. My voice was good, and She wore a dress of some gauzy fabric, and culture, going pear the stove, it took fire; I ran at work out of the room screaming at the Iod of my breath : "Mr. Harrison !

All right now Bo nothing but hold fast and stand still, ladies, and I will come up to you. He drew himself up hand over hand, with extreme caution, and was saved. . My mother's parasol was restored to her with a courtly bow, and he brushed the dust from' his clothes and walked away with us. I walked by his side, but he made no reference to tliQ perils through wfeich he had just passed. That evening, however, as we sat on the piazza of our hotel, where it overlooks the river how well I remember the rushing sound'of the waters down below, he said : "We are alone now, Miss Monroe, and I can thank you for saving my life, with out offense to the other ladies." It was too dark out there for him to see the blush of delight that went over my face at these words. How much they meant to me ! "I knew I was as good as saved," said he, "when I saw you standing with tight ly clasped hand and your under lip pressed by your shining tcetb, while Belle and the other ladies were trying to drown the roar of the old Niagara with their shrieks. I never Eaw one of your sex before who had the control over herself which you manifested to-day. If I had seen such an exhibition anywhere, it would have awa kened my admiration ; but when it hap pened to be an exhibition in which my own life or death was concerned, you may imagine my feelings." . The tone in which he uttered these words was so tender and true ! it said so plainly that he would devote all his future to me! But, though tone and manner said this, his wprds did not say it ; and I !inew the rcasou. He believed "ine al ready betrothed. William Willis wa3 the son of a New York merchant, who had been a school mate of my father. It was my father's wish that we should be married. I loved my father, and was anxious to be pleased with his friend's son. Young Willis had been a frequent guest with us, and many considered us already betrothed. He was an agreeable companion in the parlor a good dancer, and all that; but I cared more for one look ot Joseph Harrison's earnest, honest gray eyes than I did for William Willis' whole composition. According to a previous appointment, Mr. Willi? came to the jall9 during our stay. He arrived ou the evening of the day that witnessed Mr. Harrison's narrow escape from death. He came out upon the niazza vhcre wo cat that'evening ; we shook hands. The'gentlemen were slight ly acquainted, but it wa5 plain Mr. Ilar rrson did not like Mr. Yv'illis much, and with playful "leh iimss wegehen" to me, he rose and went into the ball room, very politely offering his scat to Mr. Willis. Several days passed. While actually in tne position or a rival toward Air. Willis, Mr. Harrison by no means per mitted himself to act as if he were such. Ho was very courteous to Mr. Willis, and quietly yielded all preferences to me and my society. lie seemed, however, to be studying us trying to form a conclusion as to the probable extent of our relations matrimonially speaking. Oh, it did seem to me that he might so brave a maa as he was plainly put a ew questions to me on the subject ! I would have quickly told him how little Mr. Willis was to me. At last, I had nearly made up my mind to the performance of a desperate thing nothing less, indeed, than to seek the intercession of his cousin, my friend Belle, in my Denair. uut 1 neiriectea to let tne deed go with the purpose just one day too long. It was a Monday the last day ot our intended stay at the Falls. Mr. Willis invited me to ride. I had no courteous refusal at hand, so I -consented to go with mm. Indeeu, I hid half promised him some days before. I did not much like the manner in which the horse, a fiery, vicious auimal, laid back-his ears and bounded away on starting : but I said nothing. We had not been riding many minutes when the animal chose to take fright at the flapping of a line of nearly washed clothing, and taking the bit in his teeth, he rau away Our road lav along the bank of the river safe enough for a horse under control, but fearfully dangerous for a runaway, for a half mile ahead was a bend in the road wnere tue cnances were great that we should be thrown over a precipice and killed. At the raie we were going, we would reach the dangerous place soon. William Willis looked ahead and com prehended the danger. His face blanched. "Good God I" he cried, "it's death! "With that, he threw up the reins and jumped out of ihe buggy striking a rock and breaking his collar bone, as I found afterward. As for me, I kept my seat. If it should become necessary for me to jump, then I would jump; but I was determined not to take that venture til! it was imperatively demanded, by the imaiinency of danger at hand. So long as there was a possi bility that the progress of the horse might 02 arrested, I held to that hope; because, when a horse is running furiously down a smooth road, there is no choice about jumping spots till the crisis is at hand. Whiie I sat, clinging firmly to the sent, and lookiug out ahead, for the dangerous place must now be drawing near, a man Mr. Harrison started, amazed. "Willis? I b"g your pardon, Misa Monroe." This very coldly, "I should, not have epoken in those terms if I had known that your corapaniou was your ."' He stopped and bit his lip. "My affiance," you would say, I made quick response. "But he is not my affi ance, Mr. Harrison. I would sooner marry a woman than such a coward." I spoke with some heat, and he looked at my excited face with his dry smile. "Will you marry me, Miss Monroe ?" "Ie3, said I. And I did. It was a queer place for a proposal, was it not : But mv husband 19 not Iik nthrr men. He always has bi3 wits about him. John W. Steele. The old adage that "a fool and his money are soon parted" is aptly illustrated in the personal historv of John V- Steele, the one-time petroleum million aire : In 18C4 Widow M'Clintock died from. the effects of burns received while kind ling a fire with crude oil. At this time the average daily income from the landed interest of the farm was 2,000, and by her will the property, with all her pos sessions in money, was left, without res ervation, to her adopted son, John W. Steele, then about twenty years of age. In the iron safe where the old ladv kent money were found 150,000, two- her -it was Mr. Harrison- sprang witn astonishing agility at the horse's head, from among some trees at the roadside, caught the bit, and jerked it back, and out of the borse's teeth, and actually tore the auimal's lip3, so that blood flowed, so energetic was the action. There was no resisting the iron will, backed by the iron nerve. The runaway came to a stop. Mr. Harrison drew him to the side of the, road, arid examined the harness and buggy very OE.relr.Uy. "Nothing broken," said he. "A ery narrow escape, Miss Monroe. I-saw you coming, and had lust time to getniv wits in order. There, dont thank me ; I didn't know it was you, and should have done just tbe same for any one else." "But you are hurt V said I, noticing "Yes, the horse trod on my foot." 'Ob, how unfortunate. Shall I get out?'' "No," said he, "that is, it ts unneces sary that you should. Sit still and get rested. He will run no more to-day, I promise you." He came around and placed h's lamed foot carelessly on a wheel of the buggy, and spoke in his usual calm tone : "When a horse has had a fiuc, lively run like that, be is inclined to be quiet for the rest of the day. You can drive him back in perfect safety. But I did not know you were fond of taking drives all alone by yourself, Miss Monroe." "I Vas not riding alone," said I, "my driver Jumped out." "Asd left you," said he, astonished. "Yes." "He ocgltt to be horsewhipped. May I aak the coward's came?" "His us me is William Willis," siid I. thirds of the amount in Greenbacks nrifl the balance in gold. Mrs. M'Clintock was hardly cold in her coffin before young Steele, who appears to have had nothing naturally viciou3 ia his composition, was surrounded by a set of vampyres, who clung to him as long as he had a dollar remaining. The young millionaire's head was evidently turned by his good fortune, as has been that of many an older maa who made his "pile iu oil," and he was of the impression that his money would accumulate too rapidly unless it was actually thrown away, and throw it away, he did. Many of the stories concerning his career in New York and Philadelphia savor strongly of fiction, and would not be credited were they not so well authenti cated. Wine women, horses, faro and general debauchery soon made a wreck f that princely fortune, and in twenty months Johnny Steele squandered two millions of dollars. Hon. John Morrissey, M. C, "went through" him at faro to the amount of 100,000 in two nights; ho bought high-priced turnouts, and after driving tnem an hour or two gave them away ; equipped a large minstrel troupe and presented each member with a dia mond pin and ring, and kept about him besides, two or three men who were rob bing him day after day. lie is now filling tne honorable position of doorkeeper for Skiff &; Gaylord s minstrels, the company he organized, and is, to use a very expres sive but not strictly classical phrase, completely "played out." The wealth obtained by those who woiked so assiduously to effect Steele's ruin gave little permanent benefit to its possessors. The person most brazen and chiefly instrumental in bringing about the present state of affairs was the notorious Seth Slocum, who hung around Oil (?ity several weeks last summer. He was worth at one time over 100,000, which he had "captured" from Steele and laid aside for a rainy day, but when the latter's money vanished, this amount soon took unto itself wings, and he is at present known among his old associates as a "dead beat." At last accounts, Slocum was incarcerated in the jail of a neighboring county for various breaches of the peace, and was unable to obtain bail in the eam of 500. -A Washington correspondent tells a story of a Congressman who asked another the name of a book the latter had under his arm. "Rousseau's Confessions," was the reply. "Confessions ! What did the d d fool confess for ? The House passed a vote of censure on him, and could do no more." "Oh, that ain't the Rousseau. This is a man that lived in France a hundred years ago, or more. Haven't you ever heard of him ?" "No. I thought you meant the fellow from Kentucky." If the inquisitive Congressman continues to keep as well posted, he will probably think that Johnson's "Rambler" means either our President's stumping tour laat fall or his last veto message, which com mences at the District of Columbia and goes all over the United States.
