Gresbam street was not a big thor oughfare. It was a new street In a suburb of Loudon. I had taken two rooms there. There were two other sets or lodjers In the house, and the rooms I had taken, though quite ample in price, were not the most important set. The house was a double one, with a door and staircase In the middle, and, therefore, ownintf a capability for ex- clusiveness. The Johnsons, the owners, had their nuarters on one side, and my drawing- room and bed-room were on that side l.kewise. The main part or the other aide was "to let' when I established myseir in Gresham Street. Tor a week 1 was a good deal in my rooms, for I have a lot of knick-knacks and artistic belongings wnich no une can arrange but myseir. I thought very little about my neighbors. One breezy September day I was setting forth alter my breakfast for a ,ia. t tho Museum. The street door book, and, candle in hand, went along the landing to my own room. There was quiet in the girl's room, which was a small one, built out at the back and wedged between mine and the one cor responding on the opposite side of the landing. This last Mr. and Mrs. Dallas bad. .Like myself, the new tenants had left their drawing-room door open. 1 could not help seeing the bare lodging liou'e furniture, and smiled to myself as I saw a 6pindle-legged Chippindale work-table with skeins of wool and knitting-needles upon it. Miss rbylliV thought I. 'that table is a treasure.' The bed-room door was likewise ajar, and the flare of cas sent a stream of Usrht over the darkened stairway. Into it there came gliding a tall lady, wear ing a lace cap and a black stuff dress. She moved eentlv. as if she wished to disturb no one. tier arms held long, blue paper packets I remember my mother used to extract knlttlng-yarns from some similar packets in days ago and she went into the dark drawing room, and to where the Chippendale lable was, seeming to put her packages thereon. Then she elided back, stroking her irrav hair softly, and I was unaware ah had noticed me. and I was in the act or closing my door said In a whis per, but pointedly, to me: 'Good night; we are late.' Good night,' I answered, stopping in the closing or my door until she had closed hers. She did it noiselessly. She seemed a woman accustomed to efface herself. I could not easily get tn sWn that nlcht. When I awoke thought I was in the country and the birds were sirifeing. What nonsensel I was ia the lodging in uresnam street, and some one ruyllls. of course was running down to breakfast singing. . In the morning I saw Thyllis passing my door with her St. Cecilia In her arm3. and instinct prepared for a con sequent sound of quarreling. It came. The girl's action was the precursor of more violent sounds than I ever sup posed could be heard in any aomesuc circle. The noises lasted alt the morn ing. Weeks rolled on. I was pleased with the Dallas family. The two girls were devoted to each other and to their father, but neither loved Mrs. Dallas. My lady' and Thyllis openly quarreled. I did not know how Kate managed. I know she did not loudly quarrel, lor I never beard her voice never Heard it in rude wrangle.

He has a handsome country seat with all kinds or blooded stocg, ana did not contemplate adding a goat, however handsome and spirited, to bis collection. But an inconsiderate phy sician directed goat's milk for his little boy who was delicate. The father called attention to his choice assort ment or cows, but the physician was Implacable; nothing would do but a goat. The fond rather started rorth him seir upon tbe quest for a desirable ani mal, penetrating to the remotest wilds or Harlem, where he felt sure the goat might be secured in his native purity. It was not difficult for him to ibtain the address ot a lady who was tall bv ber neizbors to have a goat for sale. But when he round tbe lady heraeir his most flattering offers were reiected with scorn and contumely. "An' Is it to sell Nanny ye'd be ifther axin' me?" Inquired the lady with hauffhtv disdain. "Wud I sell Pat there and Mickey littla Korah?" The gentleman meekly explained that he was not negotiating for a family, but his remarks were drowned In loud wails of woe from the three in funis, who were much alarmed at their parent's rhetorical inquiry. He was hurriedlv departing when the scarnful ladv unbent sufficiently to In form him that the Widdy O'Bellly, whosts resrdeiice was Just beyant, might wiliiin' to nart with her goat. It was with some irepiuauon tuat he would-be purchaser faced the vwi,i rvrt-ili. She. Hived many tears. but admitted that she had thought of parting with her Nanny for a.eoasid rtratinn. hut would have to have a week to consider the matter. v nen assureu that time rressed, she politely but firmly referred him to Mrs. McGinnis. Much the same scene was enacteu ai the residence of Mrs. McGinnis, who did, however, consent to deliver over .Nanny then ana mere, uut ui consideration, so wuuiy exuor- bitant that tbe purchaser felt sure it would be dear for the choicest speci men of Cashmere goat, As he conducted his researches ne found that the news of his quest, by some occult telegraphy, preceded him. aud the price ot goats rose rapidly. Animals that were berore considered barely worthy their keep were now quoted at substantial sums, and ani mals or any value at an were ueiu firmly by their owners for fancy prices. He was assured. In spite of the evi dence of his eyesight, which discerned patriarchal flocks and herds or gnats lirawnsinir on every common and crag, that tbe- good goats were ecarce, that it was a bard matter to get a good goat at anv Drice. When he finally secured a decent looking animal It was only as a great ravor aud on payment in cash ot $33. which he could not but feel was more than an equivalent. Six months' trial of tha goat strengthened this conviction. She im mediately, perhaps knowing the price that had beeu paid for her. assumed possession of the place. Sne strolled into the parlor, the library or the din ing room, promenaded the piazza or re clined upon the steps, as the fancy seized her. When the servants at tempted to dispossess ber she invari ably showed tight, and usually came out of the combat with victory perched upon her banners. When she finally butted the mistress of the house to the ledge or the piazza and rolled her down the steps, it was decided to sell ber, especially as ber milk did not benefit the child. Bnt the price or goats was found to have rapidly gone down, and they were now quoted 'way bcIcW par. After vainly endeavoring to sell her at any price, her luckless owner was finally thankful to pay an Irish gentle man of his acquaintance 5 to remove tier, from, the premises. Tbe Haunted Cabin.

A wagon followed us, loaded with a tent-cloth, provisions. and the negroes. The former was stretched on moon lit nights, but in Inclement weather we usually slept under a roor, ir in that sparingly settled region it was possible to procure shelter. 1 shall never forget those balmy nights in the wild Florida forests. Sambo's glorious camp fires, mounted almost to the tops of tbe shorter pines, and Irradiated everything around. Hither and thither moved our dusky attendants, intent on laying our mat- resses and cooking our s uppers. As for me. I was on the lookout for flow ers all day. I expected to see even the roadsides gay with acacia, cacti, las mine and lilies, but was sadly disap pointed. We often lournied through long stretches or sand as uioomiess as Sahara. One day the weather threatened to become tempestuous. Clouds rolled up on dark grey wings ot gloom, and threatened to deluge the peninsula. Aunt Julia had a slight attack or asthma, and drealed any exposure to a damp atmosphere. She began early inquiring for a roor under which we might speed the night, but not a hu man habitation or any description ceuld be found for miles. Suddenly we perceived the gaunt, ague-shaken figure ot a "native" in the sandv road ahead of us. He was walking with the shambling gait pi culiar to that class or people, and was closely followed by a rough little ani mal which I at first supposed to be a fierce dog. but arterward discovered was a tame coon.
