The next week was 6xed for the accomplish ment On the appointed morning Stevens was to present himself at the school as a messenger from the city with intelligence of the severe ill ness of Irst Carlton, and a request for the im mediate attendance of the daughter. He was to convoy her by carnage to the river, where they would take the steamer for New York, and Brom ley would join them the same evening at a place robe appointed by Stevens. Everything promised •ucc(is, and the clergyman whom Stevens was to furnish would perform his work, consent or no consent tho drawing room oi an elegant residence in the city, at about nine o'clock of a winter evening, an old gentleman sat alone, looking into a splendid fire, manifestly absorbed in deep thought.

The news was astonishing to Bromley. He oould not doubt it, and his quick mind saw at once all the bearings of his case. "A pretty lawyer you are, Judge Cameron, to commence a snit in partition, in the name of a grantee of my wife, without my concurrence-" "Not so fast, Mr. Bromley.

"Don't then" said he, "if you believe in a hereafter--don't do it unless your life's injured—if I was Agent of a Life Insurance Company, I'd put into every poli cy, that every man who travelled on the Catter wisser road should pay five per cent. extra .... Did ye ever see the Catterwiseerl" "No sir," said the old gentleman. "Well, I'll tell ye how it is; they've gethered up all the sharp curves, and long bridges and high trestle work, and steep grades on all the roads in the United States as an ill-um tea-tion of what a rail-road kin be; but there's one edvau• tage about the Catterwiseer, there's a sem' of bellrope, it winds round jest like a snake, and when the Contlurtor wants to speak to the En gineer, he just gilt's out to the hind e'end of the car, and that jest brings him where he kin shake hands with the Engineer, always. Yes sir-ree, there never was anything like them curves— there's a place on the Catterwiseer they call Ringtown, because the road after describing a circle comes around to the same place I woe goin' on it the other day, when we came to that ar' place I seed an engine comin' smack in to the hind car I thought it belonged to another train, but it turned out to be the loco motive of our train comin' round like a cat after its own tail, and the difficulty wee' that they'd put on so long a train that it went round the hull ring, and nothin' saved us but reversin' the en gine . .... There is one otheradrantage, stranger, in the Catterwiseer ye never need a doc tor, they bridge right up the mountains, nsin' the little one's for 'butments, and the only level place is right on top of the mountain, so if ye do run off the track, yer smashed up so that one man can't be told from another." He here paused a minute, and a gentleman who 'had been listening quietly remarked, "Ain't you the Captain of the Northusaberh►nd boat?" "Well," said he, "stranger, may-be, I am." Roars of laughter greeted his answer, as the secret of his opposition to the "Catterwisser" thus came out. A HINT ON IiOUSEHOLD Have you Ater observed what a dislike 'emote have to anything cheap?

Beautiful ,as all heroines are. But as an hoari, of course more than this Linda had a mind and a heart of goodness, as well as personal beauty. She was the brightest scholar of Mrs. —'s seminary, was the joy of her father, the pride of her mother, the go-between and the confidant of a score of little Rays—her noisy young brood of brothers—and the friend and consoler of all the poor distressed who came within her knowledge. Linda was "engaged" to young Slocum, an embryo lawyer of fashion and of some talent, who had only the slender income of his pro fession to depend upon, but which, added to the modest little fortune of Linda, would enable the young couple to live quite comfortable ' It is now in the fitful month of April. The following June was to witness the bridal of Linda and her lawyer-lover, upon which the happy pair were to start for the "Springs." Liuda looked magnificently on horseback, and on this April morning, indulging in her favorite exercise, she was sitting like the queen of beauty, glowing with freshness and radiant with joy upon the back of her matchless bay—the inoeit ing and graceful piece of horseflesh to be lighted on by a fond indulgent parent. Young Flocum was by her side, and was de.i. canting upon the beauty of the morning and the beauty of the "morning queen," when suddenly the latter sped from his sight like the morning's breeze. Linda's "bay" had taken fright, and was flying with its mistress through the. air, se•aree touching the paving stones,at a fearful speed.— "She will certainly be thrown and killed!" and Slocum's beart as he exclaimed thus—or the piace where his heart should have been--beat with a feeling akin to despair. When, however, Slocum arrived some three or four wiles farther, toward the edge of the city, I scene met his view that caJled up other emo tions than those of pleasure at the safety of his beloved. Linda was seated upon the turf, reclining against the trunk of a tree. .1 tall, handq,,mm stranger was bending over her, laving her brow with water and pouring the magnetism of his warm life into her fainting energies. The look—the strange mysterious look —th.tt of soul rtwoguizing soul, which passed betwcen them when Linda opened her eyes full upon him, haunted rang Slocum like a dimigrreeble night mare for months after. The next day, the tall, handsome stranger cal led upon the lovely girl he had rescued from tain death, to enquire after her health. Somele.w nr other it was full three hours - fore the was concluded Time had passed so pleasautl to that easy flow of thought and senti ment, wh. re -oul met its kindred that both were siirpris...l at it, rapid flight. Again and again they met, always talking as though they had been friends forever, so uncon strained and easy was the interchange between them. I t generally happened, too, by some strange chance, that Slocum was either out on some ti-h -it% excursion, or something of the sort, whenever the tall, handsome stranger called nricin the bride elect. The middle of May arrived. The wedding day was drawing more and wore near. In a maze of bewildertu. ut she young bethrothed awakened as from a .11. H. ti dream. I lace him well enough to become his wife?' :vdzed she of her own heart. Alas: a deeper depth had been sounded in that young heart. A deeper depth than the shallow line of the groom elect could hope to sound. But the spirit had taught her—her own heart—that had taught her the meaning of the word love—the tall and handsome stranger— he had gone as suddenly as he came. Busi ness had called him to a distant country and True he had never apol:Pn of love, but when he was gone, Linda had found to her dismal that he had taken her heart with him, and that Slocum seemed to her now nothing more than a sort of automaton man, brainless and heartless "But I will be true to honor and my promise," said the courageous Linda, resolutely. "I marry him sod make him& true wife. I will bury my own heart and its lore, and perform my duty faithfully." Alas! Ali.s! "There is many a slip betwixt the cup and the lip." A rich old uncle of the portionless Slocum suddenly arrived from the "golden East," sought his nephew, made his will, and Slocum, the al most brieflees lawyer, awoke in the morning a rich man. His uncle scouted at the idea of his wedding the fair Linda, with her very moderate fortune, telling him that such a handsome, accomplished, and wealthy fellow as he (Slocum) could pick a millionaire heiress off from almost every bush. His kind uncle bid him travel and choose from any of the aristocratic and wealthy beauties of E lated with his sudden fortune, puffed up with personal vanity, Blooms followed his uncle's ad vies, setting sail with a high heart to cross the ocean for Karope and success. He dropped a careless note to his beloved, telling her of his determination to travel sad to leave her free. Somehow or other, Kociam's remittances from his uncle did not arrive u he had reason to ca pon, and he had not such sooner crossed the Atlantic than he re-wowed it. What was his dismay upon arriving home, when he found his quondam beide elect had sau na his rich old gaoled that the "will" had been meads, that ha (Stoma) was not sli *Asa even s shilling—ate will being made in favor of Linda and her successors. This discovery was maddening, but worm than all, the rich old uncle had thrown sway his ugly wig, and the hump on his back, and his wooden leg, and he stood up as Linda's youthful bridegroom—the tall, handr>me stranger! He bad once rescued her from death. It was a pleasant ruse—to those who enjoyed the sport—but it threw poor Sloctust into a bil lious fever which nearly terminated his life which aLso put m& in possession of the above little epi sode,.l being the physician who carried him over the bridge of sickness to the terra tirtna of Health.
