I believe they did business together for about months ; the groat will case of Sharp vs. Sinootby was the storm that ship wrecked them, and then my uncle's oddity was somehow developed. It It proved to be of an uncommon kind.; there was nothing ptculiarin his dress manners ; or conversation ; he had al ways been of a quiet, sensible turn. .and so he continued to be; but heart and mind, and money too, went from that time after old and dilapidated houties. Wherever there was a decayed cot-' tage, a half-ruined barn, a tumble-down. tenement that nobody could begot to take or buy, (and there's no scarcity of the like in the county Salop.) It was sure to be heard of, hunted up, and leased, rented or purchased by Rich and Ramshorn, Esquire—such, being the style and title of my estimable rel ative. For that bianeh of business he gave up the management of_ people's legal affairs, his time being entirely oc cupied IFitlillis takings and purchases. He spent day after day in-solitary Sur veys of these ruined dwellings, locking or bolting himself in, as • ifony human being. was likely to intrude upon him. He half-repaired • some of them; he half.-furnished others, he advertised them far and wide, with the usual flour ish about convenient and desirable premisee, and had sundry fierce quar rels with high-tempered ladies ' and gentlemen, Whom they.,ssid p advertise ments had brought miler) oat of. their way for nothing When no tenant could begot. at any rent, and .atone of the old women ~ i n the neighborhood could be induced-to, '.'mind”.them, my uncle consoled, lipaself by, Paying bia rounds of visits te,his, far r seMtered ••posseesiona.

Then they wanted him to emi grate, but my uncle Richard bad ton considerable a stake in. England, and refused to leave his prOPerty. He coil sented, hoWever, to give up ' baying and leasing and returned to business. With the help of, his friends and rel atives he sptinto, n* ot legal part met:shipiaird-wenfr On:steadily - for some time, doing junior partner's work and realizing accordingly; but as soon as a little money got into his fingers, another great bargain was heard of, and within , loss than two years he was he was in hot pursuit of the old hoaxes again: Of couple they led him to the same goal, and - he was_ brciught back from the husks: once more ; but what ileed4o-tell-ofbielrela; • , • ; r - flops; they were numerous as those brought about by the glass or gaming table.: He was fished out of lodging houses; he was redeemed from the debtors' prison.; his requisites were taken out of pawn . ; I 0 L's were paid, according to_the custom of families en dowed with such straying sheep ; he hadjntervals of respectability, longer or shorter, as good fortune attended or funds held out; but neither the ex amplenor the,preaching of his kith and kin could wean Uncle Richard's heart. from the old houses. . A serious acquaintance °fours called him the dark dispensation 'of the Rarnshorns ; a troublesome dispensa tion lie undoubtedly was, and - "served for a use of terror to our rising genera tion, all of whom,grew up remarkably prudent through the dread of his ex ample,—inspired by the lectures of judi cious friends Myself being his eld-. est nephew, took early to saving, and had done wonders at It before I was nineteen, and got first clerk ship with CAelt. Co. Uncle •Iflch aid was- reckoned an l eld bachelOr - by that time; and the only confirmed spec imen of thesingleprofession within our borders except Cousin Grace. In what degree of cousinship she stood to all or any due I never clear ly understood ; but Miss Grace, as we juniors had to call her, styled herself our cousin-in-general, bad -insisted on all the rights, privileges and immuni ties belonging to_ that title. She nev er told her age, and nobody else ever dared tell it, so I am silent on the sub- jeet ; but Cousid Grace was - not very young. and never could have been sup; posed handsome lay any stretch of the irifigination.• Fortune had been quite as niggardly as nature in her case, her father had left a considerable legacy of debt ne well -as his . only daughter to the care of his kindred ; and Cousin , Grace said she would live and occupy herself among them for the rest of her days, since a maiden lady of sense and energy was an inlhluable addition to' any family. Acilirdingly, she minded their houses and their affairs generally, she governed their children, she lect ured their young people, she gave the ord ones her advir.e, whether they want: ed it,or not, and she made them all un derstand, that Cousin Grace was to be well paid 'as well as highly esteemed for her services. - • There was a fine contrast between the . maiden and the bachelor of w our family. While Uncle Richard was per petually spending and losing on his fa vorite species of real -estates, Cousin Grace had powers of saving and get ting which were--perfectly marvelous, considering her opportunities. As far as we knew nobody had ever proposed for her heart and hand, and Cousin Grace had ,a high disdain of all man kind in consequence; yet strange to say, some ofl.lB --thought_she had a lurking partiality for Uncle Richard. We could - ail sympathize with her in that ; notwithstanding that he was the blot on our escutcheon, the oddity of the family was generally liked, and welcomed wherever, he went. Uncle Ricbard hed — such an easy; friendly way of meeting his difftbuities that the general opinion was a capable woman might de worse than marry and settle .him. But Uncle Richard'had no heart to giVe away from the old. walls ; and Cousin Grace inferred, with some jus• tice, that the workhouse wast,the only jointere his spouse could ) apect ; so the little scheme for makhigu Behedict and Reatrice of our own, appeared to be adjourned 'sine die. yvo all thought it a Pity, for our, un cle hart • been living in the odor of re- Spectalfility fer some time, as senior ,clorki to his early partners, Garamon . c GOsling, who had.hung out their I°- 44 banner- Once more, being men of large.oennectione in Shrewsbury; but signs i of an approaching change ware beginning to be visible.

I had been vain enough to exhibit the bank .receipt, and, Uncle Richard had fixed upcln,it as his prey to sink in ,the old house in the marshy, hollow :, but he did,not know that his nephew had af fections as strong as his own, ' though they went in a different direction, and moreover they had been made wide , awake to the results of his, old house hunting'from early childhood. 'Steel and stone he found me to his prom's es of twenty per cent. and seternal in gratitude, to all the castles he built in the air out of the ill-reputed ruin, and to his ,final lamentations that hisown brotherls son would not help him to make the fortune of the whole family ; when we were both startled by-the voice' f Cousin Grace'behind us spy ing-r - "Richard, I will- lebd you the money." I 'could scarcely believe my . earl and eyes ;, and there she stood, In her long, worn and much mended black dress and crape collar, which she wore to save washing, her face bound up with another piece of black--for she. was troubled' with - The toothaclie, and gray hair hidden by a red flafinel litodan.ward.olLthasheumatisrm.. " You are an angel," cried- Uncle Richard, running towards her with ex, tended arms. " Recollect propriety, said my Cousin Grace, taking him by the shoul der and setting_ him down on a chair. "George," she cOntintted.,,nthe,Bounce legs have sent over for you ; they can never get young men enough for their parties ; but, it is not right to offend them ; you know they are related to Mr. Cheek's brother-in-law ; go up to your own room and dress this minute " I saw the necessity of going, under the circumstances; and what passed in the back parlor that evening I never could make out, but Cousin Grace kept her resoluticin to lend Uncle Rich ard the hundred pounds, which we all believed to be her entire savings. No persuasion, no pointing out of probable consequences, could move her from it., Uncle Richtird had promised to pay her; he would not break his word to an unprotected female; mid she thought it her duty as a cousin to give - him a chance of retrievingthe misfortfinee of his life with the Money, which she would probably never want, for it was her belief she was not long for this world) Cousin Grace was a - lady not easily turned from anything ehe had set her mind on. When the entire clan' of Ramshorn had exhausted their argu ments and adjurations—when. she had fought Wordy battles with each of their wires, and general engagements with the whole family—when ehe bad shak en the dust of most (Albeit. houses off her 'feet and got it on again, the money was lent to-Uncle-Richard, and with it he bought the old house in the marshy hollow. - • The joy or the folly of his life ap peared to be era vned by the possession of that coveted tenement. Morning, noon and night he was descried mov ing about its ruined walls, scrambling out of some of its cashless -windows, or seated on a rock Lard by, contem plating his desirable property. The reputation of the place prevented his ,being intruded. upon by curious neigh bore ; none of the Ramshorns, except Cousin Grace, would come • within a mile of it or Lim ; their indignation, including my own, knew -no bounds at this last and most deliperate relapse At the end of the first fortnight of his ownership, Messrs. Gammon & Gosling summarily dismissed him for neglect of business, and Cousin Grace announced her intention of marrying him without delay. Of course she was reminded of what sort of jointure was to be ex pected ; but Grace- said. one couldn't pass over one's lot ; i r and Uncle Rich ard, being agreeable, the marriage came off accordingly. The Ramshorns one and all protested, in the first place, that they would have nothing to do with the pair, and finally went, in a body to their wedding !• Grace almost sent the ladies of the family.into fits by appear: ing in silk dress an the occasion, bought out of the remains of her savings, no doubt, and therefore showing a clearer .prospect of the workhouse. But Mr. and Mrs. Richard Ramshorn did not betake theniselv'es to that dig= . nified retirement; on the contrary, they. first took 'quiet chambers in Shrews bury, where'Richard advertised him self, and commenced business as a sol icitor; while Grace supervised both him and his clients; then they leased a piece of ground in the neighborhood, and be gan to build a house, of very decent. dimensions out of the materials in the marshy hollow.

The loeking-over'business fell to me and among the letters I found one ad • dressed to. Henry Sharp, Eitel.; dated St. Germain, the, 30th ofSeptember. 1720, and evidenty written by a,par tisan of the exiled Stuarts, who still' lingered there, and deplored, in the old fashioned spelling of his time, besides the absence of the rightful' king, that thirty thousand pounds wp,rth, of plate,; jewels and own which somebody, Whore-he &lied the'irtatit loyal K:; had hidden in an old himstiv imthe cbiinty of,, oh f , ennui net.lesdlikat e r,„_, ed, nor any information about it ob tained, since K. was lost at sea, and the secret went ;with him; On the blank side of the-letter there was writ ten in a different hand, which I found to be that of the late gentleman whose will was disputed: 'The . thirty thou sand pounds worth has not yet been discovered. but I have reason to believe that the 'old house was in the neighbor hood of Shrewsbury.' B Mestirs. Gam mon, & Gosling - never heard tell of that letter; but I read and thought over it night ,and day ; it "sent me after old houses; it made me what you know I was ; and it and • Grace helped me to find at last what _the loyal K. had hid den in- the cellar of that old house in the marshy hollow. Maybe I paid for it, through so many years; so did you, for that' matter, Robert ; but you and yours ivill be the better of it when Grate and I are gone." Lucy's children and mine were grown up when my father arid mother told me that tale. They believe it firtply, and so do I; forlhough Richard and Grime are gone -this many a' year, Lim well as the, rest of the Ranashorns, have ex cellent reasou to remember my' very odd untie THE PADRE'S STORY. - MANY, years ago, soon after my rival in India, fin old college friend of mine•asked me to pay him a visit in Nepali]. He often triek.to , tempt me into shooting expeditions;-but I was proof against all hie solicitations. At last,.one day, he said be'was going to beat the.jungle orethe hill—N agarj I think, was his barbarous name where -there were plenty of pheasants, and a few woothica' to"be fouhd, and after he had tried for 'small game, ho said he raeant to have a beat after a leopard which he had heard of thereabouts. As I had not yet ascended: the hill,l said I would go with him and see hoW the valley looked. from up there. All the forenoon-was spent in beating the thick jungle akthe foot of the hill, and 'a very fair bag my friend made. We then ascended, and halted for tiffin on a bare shoulder, surrounded by a jun gle about half way up the hill. From this spot there was a lovely view .. of the valley below, with all its streams, and towns, wheat-fields, and pretty farm houses ; so here Lsaid I would stay to admire the scenery, while my friend• beat for - the leopard. After having had tiffin, away he went with some, hundred native yelling cur dogs, and tomtom-beaters, making enough noise, I thought, to frighten anything-within ten miles., of us. By degrees the noise died away on the hill side, and all was quiet, save from a shrill shout now and then or the dis taiit:Yell of some excited cur. • Whether it was the'cheroot or the heat or the unwonted tumbler of bitter beer in the middle of the day, I know not; but gra,dtiajly . - the scene faded from befh4e my eyes, lialhe beauties of nature, and the excitement of leop ard hunting were .ilike forgotten. flow long I lay slumbering I do not know.'

The term " petrified forest" may, per haps,, seem a misnomer, when it is stated that'there are neither trees nor leaves. The fragments, to all appear ance, are stones; only outwardly re semibling. mood, and in myriads of pieces Are„scattered, half buried in the ;sand like. " ,the ocean witnesses.", One of the 'moat remarkable circumstances Is'that the most rigid"sertitiny fails to. detect the Mast vestige of arable land, the • smallest oasis, which-could have ,afforded, an origin to these mutilated relics, of timber. , Occasionally a trunk is fougd'rrvoti in two, as if split by the heat.' ; The lergest of these specimens measures ten feet hi length, and has 'a dianieter Of twelve - inches.

The stock of this road, be it rememhered—like many others—. ,was not, worth a " Continental," and has always kept up its value with re markable uniformity.* • In due time Pat,• having completed his job, presented himself at the treasurer's office for set tlement. ; The money, the bOnds,.and the certificate of stock were soon in his possession. "And what is this,nowr said Pat, flourishing his certificate of stock; bearing the " broad seal" of the com pany. " That is your stock, sir," blandly replied the treasurer.• " And is this whale I'm to git for me labor ? Wasn't me contract for the sthoek ?"

AN "OFF HAND" JOKE.—Asturdy sergeant, being obliged to submit to the . amputailinn of his hand, the, surgeon • offered to administer chloroform as was usual; but the veteran . refused, saying, " If the cutting was to be done on him ho wanted to see it," and laying his • arm on the table, submitted to the ope ration without a sign of pain, except a 'firmer setting of his teeth as the saw struck the marrow. The operator, as he finished, looked at his victim With admiration, and remarked : " You oughtlto lnive been, surgeon, my man." , " I was the next thing to one afore I enlisted," said the her& "What was that?" ask,e . d the doctor. " A• BUTCHER !" responded the ser geant, with a grim smile, which, des pite the surroundings, Communicated itself to the bistariders. Rev. Rowland Hill used to ride to and from his church in a carriage. This gave offense to one of his,parisboners, at least,:who went so far to hand in, among the notices, cinesrequesting "the prayers of this congregation for the pastor, who; yielding to pride; is in the habit of riding in his carriage, not con-. tent, like his divine Master, to ride upon an ass. It was not till Mr. H. had read the paper, and observed the sensation created, that he noticed its import ; then, laying it down, ho said : "It is true, brethren and friends, I ride in my carriage, but if the author of this notice will appear at the door at the close of the service, saddled and bridled, I will do my best to ride him home !" • RYE lACes.-4t the Convention of the Episcopal clergy of Pennsylvania, in 1856, for the division of the diocese, the Right Reverend Bishop Metoskry, of Michigan, was present. When the subject of a name for the new, diocese came up for discussion, several were proposed—as Western Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Mpnongahela, etc. When-- the last 'name was mentioned, Bishop MeCoskry rose with great gravity and seriousness, and remarked that he was entirely opposed to this last mentioned name, Monengahela,.and, if seriously urged, would -enter his solemn protest; For," said he, •' I am'of the opinion .that whenever that name is spoken it will cause my brethren, as well as the laity, to make rye faces.''—Panwau, Harper's Magazine.
