J ~ip BERU were a dozen souls upon the i I eanulboat. l'empleton was re j sponsible for it, und he was quite equal j i to the burden; tor if there was one thing Templeton was cut out for it was 1 | to be host on just such an occasion. He- < j was not the owner of the boat— j urally; for a bachelor, fond of good j ' living and of ease, has very little nse ; j for craft of that nature; but he was ! the sole lessee for the period of one j week, during which time he and his j sever, guests, his cook, his coachman, j hi 3 butler and his man of all work— ; late captain of the Xorah J. —cruised : | cioqg the Erie canal and enjoyed life. I ! He had chartered the ooat from the I captain for tho purpose of taking his j friends o ft for a novel outing, and thej ' had unanimously accepted the invita ! tiou; and in order to edd to the novelty i of the occasion Templeton had im pressed his own coachman into the . service to do the driving. The «apt«iin ! went along to help them over such dif ! lic.uHies as mlf, r ht arise, as well as to j use language suited to their surround ings when language became aeeessiiry. : It was also to be the captain's duty to look after the bout and to see that | everything pertaining to the apart ments therein was kept In shipshape I order. At first Capt. Jack was loth to char j ter his vessel; but he was influenced to I change his mind by two considera tions. The first was that his craft was | a new one and was as yet unpaid for, , ar.d the second was a cheek with Teta , pleton's name signed to it which would | make that payment a matter of com i parative ease. This, added to the fact ! that Templeton wanted him to go along and keep an eye upon his be loved craft, induced him To consent, although he demurred slightly when Templeton announced his intention of taking his driver along. "What's the us"! o' h!m?" asked Capt. Jnck. "He ain't had no experience drivin' eanalboats, have he?" "No," said Templeton. "But he baa J driv en my brougham about New York for two years running, and hasn't met with an «"< ! ent yet. t guess a man who can manage a team on Rroadwuy can get along o r *he Erie canul." "But I don't see*—the captai ' be gan. "Well, you needn't see," said Temple ton. "I don't aak you to sec. I'm go ing to have him whether you aee or not. He's a good driver, aud 1 have confidence in him. I'm not going to trust my life and the lives of my gueato to th« hands of un utterly unknown Jehu." •"But whut are you afraid of?" per sisted the captain. "What am I afreld of?'* retorted Templeton. "Do you suppose Fm go ing to ,ake the chance of being run. away with on a canaiboat ?** The cajrs'.n's laughter could have been h»ard for c miio when Templeton -aid this. "All right," he said; "iet him go. I'll rlir up seat for him on the bow in I rcgu! r tally-ho stjlc." The captain wus as good as bin word, and when we *<e; ped aboard of the Nor ah .1. there waa a comfortable piu.ee for us ail, with the promised coachman's scat on the Ik»w. The saloon passengers upon this voy ago consisted of Templeton, Barlow. Parker and myself; of -Miss Hawkins, of Plttsourgh, Mits Brom-on aud Misa Remington, of New York, and, to chaperon the party, the demure little widow of our old friend Horace Tis sington. Mrs. Tlsaingtou was the ideal ehap eio:.. In th«. first place she was not, moro than 30 years of age. fthe was pr*t»y. and of a sweet, sunny disposi tion-- thoiifrh somewhat severe when her lot was cast in such places as she now found herself. Shv was never under any circumstances disagree able; but she gave everyone to under stand by her superior maimer that she realized to the full 'he responsibilities which hail devolved upon her; and bhe exacted from nil that recognition o# her authority without which her influ ence as a "lady superior" would liavo been absolutely nil. In terms she never expressed disap proval of our nets, nor did she have much occasion so to do; but frequent ly we could tell from her demeanor that she would prefer that we com ported ourselves with gnnter dig nity, and our regard for her was such that nothing further was nece-isary. We reformed on the instant, though it must l>e confessed our reformation was usually merely temporary. Caddy Barlow, more often than any of the rest of us, came beneath the ban of her displeasure, and that was be cause he was of the irrepressible order of mankind, lie would sing comio songs on unlooked-for and InapprtV priatc occasions, and he had nlso a penchant for unhitching the little row boat attached to the stern of the Noruh ,1., and, in company with Miss liuwklns, taking a run up the cunnl a mile or two aheud of us, until reach ing some hamlet on the line of the ser pentine stream, he anil his fair com panion would buy up all the rock candy, peanuts and all tho similar in edible* they could And. Upon tln-se occu. ions Mrs. Tiuslng ton wus always properly disturbed. Oi course it was all right that Barlow and Miss Hawkins should go rowing upon the canal, and, personally, Mrs. Tis slngton had no objection to their doing so; but in her official capacity it s. etned to her that she should set her faoe against It, and she did so in her own very charming way. Then, too, Parker and Miss Iteming ton found a great deal of time to be with each other. Many an evening, when relit of n.' were in the how. playing banjos and singing the latest popular song with more vim than at tention to the score, or telling stories, ' or in some regrettable instunccit in dulging iu gossip, it would suddenly transpire that Parker and Miss Rem ington would turn up missing. Where upon Mrs. Tissington, full of her re sponsibility, would develop an uncasi- , which soon communicated itself j to the rest of us, and was gcncrully not allayed until the truant {'air vvcro ] found sitting at the other end of the boat, and suspiciously far apart! As for myself aud Miss 11 ron-,on 1 do not like to say very much, for Miss Bronson is now the wife of un Italian uMjleman, unil lam wedded to un Alucr- ( lean noble woman. It iiiuut suffice for inc to suy, without entering upon any details whatsoever, that while wo r never needed the kindly Intervention of a chaperon we sometimes detected In tlx. lady's remarks upon loclal oh i sorvancca, or the luck of them,certain t allusions which under ordinary cir cumstances we tolght have construed I an personalities.

'Hut we can help you," remon j stn'-d Mi.--s Bronson. "I am perfectly willing to get :;p at seven and dust the parlor." To this Mrs. Tissington, wiih ad mirable self-possession, replied: "It is not necessary, my dear. lam used to housekeeping, and you are not." And then remembering that she wad a cucneron, she added: "And, be sides, if you will sit up late you must j get your sleep at the other end of the ' night. Don't bother." And so they did Dot bother, ul though they solemnly vowed they would—and, what was more, Mrs. Tis- ' sington never retired until after they f TUF.

I presume t'- at, inasmuch as I did not hour from her again until I saw her picture in a yellow journal as one of t'uo American girls who had married abroad, she did not find me absorbing. Mrs. Tissington said goc.d-by to us ail with an affectionate fervor which it the time did not oecm warranted by any known circumstance, and Tein pleton shook us by the hand nnd hoped we'd "join him next year." Now, this seems a very commonplace (K>rt of a story, and truly it is so. But It must be added that after It was all over, just 4- hours after, the engage ment was announced of "Mr. James Templeton and Annita Anno Tissing ton, widow of the late Iloraoe Tissing ton, Eat]., of New York city." Even this seems commonplace under the circumstances, until it is narrated that at a dinner recently given by my wife and myself to my former host and chaperon, Mrs. Templeton confid ed to the real head of the household — not myself—that lier courtship was most romantic.

The horns of the chamois are »ix or seven inches iu length, aud are crooked backward at the end, a peculiar shape whi< h has led cpa;e to believe he use*: them to hook ou to ihe rocks wheu his foothold is uncertain. However, this is tui error, the p. .uclpal use of the horns being for fighting purpose*. The chamois Is wonderfully adopted to bis life among the mouutain peak* an*! crags.
