Harry Grov,i glanced quietly up' at the uncompromising, little dial, as he entered the -domain of "Coke •ution Lfuleton." • -"l'm late thismorninif." he muttered, hang-- ing up'his hat behind the dtior - ; "but, as good luck will have it, the Judge has not made his appearance yet" • He was a straight, handsome yOung fellow; with curly brown:hair, limpid hazel eyes, ,and a,--healthy flush oa•lus snn.browned cheeks—cine'you could tru'st, ft routranee, as you looked into his frank, honest face. There was not many such—more's the .pity ! _ -"Whew—whew—whew !" whistled Mr. • Harry Grover, turning over his pile of legal documents in a very ;unmethodical 'sort of way. "Law and love were never meant to go together; of that I am certain. Pretty Ariel Browne's blue eyes are shining rogue ishly out at me from' every bit of parchment or printed blank I touch.

And when, at twelve o'clock, Judge Cornell. came in, there was but a hopeless cholas of 'papers on the table to represent his younger partner's ma ti nal-labors. . "Why, Grover, you haven't accomplished a thing this morning," said the old Judge, glancing keenly-around through his 'antique silver-bound spectacles, "I am afraid that the pretty girls at Squire Dickthorn's party last night were too much for your mental equili brum." you see;sir, I've been rather sorting the papers - over," said Harry, a little sheep. ishly, "and I have written two letters thli morning."' .

' ~q "Ahem—that wasn't exactly a business letter. Now, (Judge, suppose you and I look over these ejectment papers together l" The Judge smiled slily.; he had an idea as to what the other letter -contained. Every one In town-knew how hopelessly Mr. Harry Grover was inlove with pretty Ariel Browne. Judge Cornell had been young himself not many years a g 6. "It's just as.well for the ISd to marry aid settle down," thought the old gentleman, "and Ariel will certainly make him as sweet a little wife as human- mortal could- wish for." • Harry-needn't have been .so mysterious, 41ealing and directing his two letters • at the, tall desk behind the office door - Judge Cornell knew just as well what was• in them as if he had read every word with his own eyes. But young people have a mistaken idea that old folks don't know any Miss Ariel Browne sat in her room, busy with a complicated piece of bright colored web-wolf that ladies call "crotchet," when Bridget tapped softly at the panels of the door.

But still Ariel wept on when a gin eighteen has built np a glittering castle in the air,whost foundation is in her own heart, she cannot see it dashed ruthlessly into ruins without a few natural tears. Meanwhile, Miss Experience Browne,mtat fifty well•ripened autumns, was reading with no little astonishment, the letter - which Bridget's enemy, the postboy, had brought for her. "U—pon my word r exclaimed Miss Ex perience, slowly and emphatically. "The. Impertinent young fortune-hunting humbug!

Well, let him call, I'll be ready for him, and I is arrant me he won't be in a hur ry to call again." And Miss Experience chuckled to herself until all the Mao curls quivered as she folded the letter neatly, and put il back into itshur riedly-dlrected envelope. 'I-never had an offer of marriage before," she thought, viewing her autumnal counte nance in the pier-glass, and adjusting the little puffs of ribbon in her cap-border "and It does make one feel kind of queer! It's something to tell of, anyway.. BetlivarJones needn't go to saying now that I am an old' maid because I never had an offer. I just wonder what Ariel would say—l guess I will not tell her; she would only laugh at me." Miss Experience drew herself up as grimly as if her spinal column were a bar of iron, that afternoon, when Bridgt. announced • "Mr. Grover, mans!" "Show him in, Biddy—l am luite at leis ure to receive him." And our hero, entirely innocent of the im pending storm that awaited him, walked into Miss Experience's awful presence, with a bundle of title deeds in his hand, tied with the official looking red tape of his profession. "Good afternoon, Miss Experience." "Ain't you ashamed of yourself, Harry Grover?" ejaculated ihe spinster, in a deep, stern voice ; "get along with yourself, makin' love to an old woman more 'n twice us old as you be, just because'she's got a little mon ey What do you take me fur, hey ? Don't stand starin' there ! Walk out of this room, quick, or I'll throw the big dictionary at your head! No, no, no !—Now have you got your answer plain enough ? I wouldn't marry you if there warn't another man in the town !" Harry Grover was a little appalled at this charge of horse and foot, but lie stood his ground manfully, not evrrquailing at the big dictionary! "But, Miss Browne—will you hear a mo ment ? I don't want you to marry me! What has put this strange fancy im your head?" • "You don't want to marry me ? Then what the mischief does this letter mean, I'd like to know ?" "May I look at it 1." "harry took the letter and glanced at it ; its contents threw a new light upon the un accountable state of affairs. "Good - Cupid! what a blockhead—what an unmittigated, inexcusable, incomparable donkey I have been ! What could I have been thinking about ?" "Hey ?" demanded the puzzled spinster. - "Excuse me, ma;am, but there has been a mistake—a—" • And without stopping to complete his frag mentary•sentence, he rushed out of the room to the little bay-window parlor, where Arid usually.sat. • • "Well, I never!" . exclaimed 'Miss Experi ence, as the door banged unceremoniously in her face. "Ariel! 3filss Brown 4" But Ariel turned haughtily !tom the plead- , ing eyes of her lover. "Your letter is quite sufficient, sir ; I - need no further exponent of your meaning." •" - Ariel—darling : —there has,been an 'absurd mistake ; this is the letter that-was intended for you.

"I was a 'careless reprobate," said Harry, frankly, "but you. see Judge Cornell was watching' me, and+-" And that was the end of all misunderstand ings between Harry Grover' and Ariel Browne. thenceforth, forever more. Miss Experience was ,rather disappointed in two things. She would like to have sold the school house "corner lot," and she would like to have said that once, in the course of her fifty-five years of life, she had an offer for mamage. "However," said Miss Experience, "Ariel is very happy, and maybe things are best as they are." Extraordinary Experiment of a Basittfu Lover with a Planchetie. From tha Sew Albany Ledger, Md ult A few evenings since a young gentleman made a purchase of one of these tell tale ma chines, and repaired to the residence of the young lady to whom he was paying his ad dresses, with the hope that,Planchette would reveal to him what he had failed, for want of courage, to obtain froni his fair dulcipea. Af ter arriving at the house with the little joker concealed, and spending a- few moments in the ordinary commonplaces with the young lady who had so drawn upon his warm al fections, he managed to Introduce Planchette, find stated that he had one with him, and if the young lady had objections they would while away a short time in testing the pow ers of the Invincible. Accordingly they ar ranged themselves at the (able, and after spending some length of time in serious ef fort, they succeeded in receiving answers that satisfied their minds thatPlanchette was but to well acquainted with. the affairs of the world, and what lies in the future. 'Embold ened by success, the young lady propounded mentally, sundry questions, and prompt ans wers were returned. • . , The sequel to this interview wee give to our readers, as related to us by a female friend to whom it had been confided, giving We questitma and scepunnem in rho order in ,which they occurred.. As arnattei of course the manipulator being a young lady, her fur inquiry was, " Shall I ever marry?' "Yes" promptly tame from Planchette. " When?" Four years." "To whom?" ".B— B—." This was entirely satisfactory, as it included both the parties• present, and . was the con -summation both devoutly wished, except as to - time, which • appeared to be unrea sonably delayed. "Shall we be hap py?" '" Perfectly." Now followed a question to which the young lady desired a faithful solution, as it appeared to - her the consumation of earthly bliss . "Shall we have children?" "Yes. "Girls and boys?" "Certainly." "How many?" The answer this the lady was anxious to note carefully, ea much depended upon the result. Plan"- cbette was deliberate, evincing no haste, de siring to make no mistake in his tigunia, but wrote with considerable distinctness. "8-e-v-e-n-t," when the young lady shoved the instrument from her with such force that it fell upon the floor, and it divided in halves by the fill. Whether Planchette intended "seventeen" or "seventy" was not determined, and we presume time alone can discover the entire answer.

How iVomea Lived in Richmond Dur ing Rebellion. A woman who passed the - last year of the rebellion in Richmond, writes as follows to the Evening Post, of the shifts 6he and Con tbderate sisters were put to get clothes to wear, food to eat, and novels to read * When foui•years of war and tears have exhausted a lady's wardrobe, with no goods in the country except a few running nt long intervals the blockade, and at prices too ex orbitant, what can a woman do who has the wish, the laudable wish, to look well through everything without the, material for its ful fillment? " Well, take two dresses of different mate rial and color—one minus a skirt, the other a body—insert a quarter of a yard of one into the skirt or the other, make puffings of the lighter color at the top of the sleeve, and. of the darker from the light fitting part, and notice the effect. This tee and, althouzli mottled, it is still picturesque. Women's bonnets will wear out; and as hats are more easily got, hats became the style. Every woman learned to plait straw and to make her own hat,Whicli she decked with a rich plume from some old stork, or with a guinea fowl's bring wing. Shoes we learned to manufacture, and every rag bag was brought into requisition to furnish thick poplin pieces of lasting. Stockings we knit, gloves we made—in which art I became so expert that - _ I could easily get thirty dollars for each pair I could furnish the merchants. Crinoline was harder to substitute ; but we gut all right there, for the old steel hands we cov ered by strips of cotton cloth, and re-shaped and hung together with cord. Nothing wa• lost. The greatest VIM upon us was cloth , ing for the servants, which was soinetimus supplied by cutting up counterpanes and blankets. Shoes with the soles made of wood were found to answer. "Invention was the order of the day, and Confederate puddings and pastries, with-sor glium molasse.4 personating white sugar were pronounced delicious.
