Another lady, but quite:different from'

Yee, she was pretty, with big' blue -eyes
And shining brown hair and cheeks tinged
with a faint, fleeting Color, where the vel
iety roses of youth had once bloomed in
'vivid carmine. And the golden-haired
little lasses who clung to her dress were
as like her as tiny lily buds toafull-bloona

As Nahum Briggs stood , looking at her,
there came back to him the sunshiny
days of his youth- - --a field of blooming lila
ver, crimson in .the Jane light, like wave*
of blood, and a blue-eyed girl leaningover
the fence, with her bright hair harred
with level sunset gold, and he knew that

She looked up . , starting i with ,a sudden

And then Barbaraturned very pale, and
began 'to cry, with the little golden-heir-

'Mamma, mamma—what's the matter,
mamma.' . •
'Nothing now,' said Barbara,. resolutely
brushing away the tears,! 'lf you please.
Mr. Briggs, I will look'at the house. I
am a widow, novr;and very poor, and-,
and I think of keeping a boarding-house
to earn my daily bread. I hope the rent
is not very 'high?' , •
'We'll talk about the lent afterwards,'
Said Nahum, fiercely* swallowing dositi la
big lump in his threat that threatened to.
choke him.. 'Come here,' little girls, •and

Barbara, with her blue e ,

student. "Yes, my dear, and this is Ame

studeht replied not a word ; big feelings
were too deep for utterance. The "other

boy o' twelve. They were , delighted to
hear. they bad a new Papa, 'because they

A Goon CVIITOII.—It was the custom in

from Lewis' History of Lynn, for a persrn

divine service, and wake the sleepers,.

PERCIVAL, Posr.—The poet Perot
al's knowledge of women was of the

of one of his loves drove him in confusion
from the room. He never told his love,
except in one instance.-and. then it was in '
writing: He was . in love at twenty; at
twenty-four he adored a pupil at Philadel

ing incident occurred on the streets some
time ago, says the Chicago Tribune, in
which a shoe•black contrived at once to
show off his wit and tura an honest pen
ny. A man apparently and undoubtedly
from the country, was accosted by the
juvenile poltsber of begrimed *understand
ings with the usual question. The following
was the colloquy : "Black your boots,
air f" "No." "Shine 'em up for a dime?"
"No." "Black 'em for five cents 1" "No."
"Pll do 'em' for nothing 1" All right."
The young hopeful - set about his work
with great relish, and soon had -one boot
in bright shining condition. Then turn
ing up his face to the blacker, he gravely
annouric ti:l—Now you'll have to rive me
a quarter to• do the other." That .boy
