Dora and I had been silent fully fifteen
minutes—an unusual Occurrence for us—
when she suddenly broke out with one
of her gayest, sweetest peals of laughter.
The cars were going at the rate of forty
miles an hour, but Dares; laugh rang out
above all their nobie and confusion.
'What is it, Dora, you witch, you r
I said, half-piqtred that she had 'n , •t. first
told me what pleased her, and laughed
afterwards."
• "Nothing, Nell; only I was thinking
of something so funny. Do you see that
gentleman just in front-of us,
with the
beautiful • black whiskers aod dreamy
brown eyes'? he's beieti watching
you behind that book the lass half-hour,
looking as if he should_ love to take a bite
from the red roses on jour cheeks. Don't
blush ' • for he's in love with you—l'll bet.
my gold thimble on it. I was just think
ing of some of _tho stories I have read,
about young ladies mistaking handsome
fellows for their brothers, eto.,and thought
what fun it would be, if you could only
manage to mistake that gentleman for
your brother. Fred."
I was ready for some fun in a 'moment.

"Tell you what I'll do, Dora," I broke
out, eagerly. "You know I haven't seen
Fred, since went to school three years
ago ;land, of course, he's changed a great
deal since then. Well . , if that literary
gentleman with the brown eyes (he is
handsome, isn't ho, Dora ?) should get off
the cars at our depot, I'll wait till he gets
mixed up with the crowd ; see him sud
denly, as if for the first time, rush up to
him in a flutter of delight, call him
brother. Fred; awl give him such another
kissing as he hasn't had since he saw his
s'yeetheatt last."
"Yes, I- would, if I were you," said
Dora, sarcastically.. "You dareut, you
know "
"Don't I dare to, though 7 Wait and
see .
Arid so I dropped back into the oush
ton and_silenoe, till the train stopped at
our station.
Dora gave me a wicked look, and whis
pered that she knew my couragewould
fail me fur the gentleman was really
getting off. •
I was not to be triumphed over, thnuirli;
and so, as we stepped out on the platform
I saw the crowd, and with a little bound,
threw tnyself into his ants and kissed
him full in the mouth, hysterically say
ing :
"Fred, my dear, dear brother ! how ale
you ?"
I caught a glimpse of Dora'— she was
in danger of going inro convulsions. I
expected to_Thear the stranger confusedly
say that there was Borne mistake; but, to
my surprise, he gave we a hearty em
brace—kissed we two or three times—
said he was well—that I had grown a deal;
and then inquired for my little friend,
Dora—who, all this time, was exciting
the sympathies of the crowd, as they sup.
posed she was insane, judging from her
frantic laughter.
"Father and mother are expecting you,
Nellie, and are so impatient they can
scarcely wait to see you I was afraici
you wouldn't know me; but I am really
glad that my image has been treasured
up so carefully in my little sister's heart."
I was bewildered beyond measure. It
really was Fred, then ; and I had not
known him. I felt slightly ridiculous,
and while introducing D ra to my broth
er, whispered to her to keep quiet, in ref
erence to my intended trick. I was .too
much confused to think of inquiring how
he came to be in the ears without seeing
we; so we all went to the carriage that
was waiting for , us, and, rapidly drove
home.
MEMO
I had never known Fred to be so affec
tionate He held coy hand in his own
all the time, and kissed me at unnecessa
rily short intervals; but, to tell the truth,
I.had never loved him half so well before
—never thought Lim• half so. handsome.
We reached the gate Mother kissed
me and "cried over me all at once ; father
repeated it; and finally, a frank, hearty
voice broke out with .
"Hallo,"sis ! are'ot you going to notice
your scapegrace of a brother at all ?"
And to my astonishment, a handsome
fellow I had not seen before gave me a
genuine hug, and a kiss you could have
heard across the yard.
"There is some mistake," I murmured.
"Are you my brother Fred ? I thought
that gentleman was," pointing to the
handsome' fellow I had , embraced at the
depot.
"Why, sis, are you going crazy? Of
course Pro.your brother, and that fellow
there is my 'college child]; Archie Win.
tore, who went half way up the line to
meet you. What are you blushing at,
Nell ? There waent anything wrong in
his going after you,.was There ? I didn't
have time to go, and let him take your
picture with him, so that he would be
sure to know you. He's been playing off
some of his mad pranks, and passing him
self off for me, I'll warrant." .

it gave way and we were ,ordered to its
support. We had only time to;pick up
our guits and "go in," we tried to form
in liae.of battle, but our artillery run
through us, broke us up, and ev.'rry Man
went in for himself. We fell into the
trifle pits and went at it. The Rebels

began to think my time had cuMe. but,

I stopped and found myself wiuu's knap.

Rebels . del'nt give ute. : time to think, so
I had to "git".-again. In my "Chase"
this time I picked up a "canteen," two

nounces their arrival in Poitou, aad prei r
faces the announcement with the follow

there have been nu wolves in England,.

Beaufort, an English sportsman, has jusl.
passed through Paris with a pack of two
hundred dugs. intended to destroy these
wild beasts, which are the terror of Opel),
herds and of the inhabitants !of lonely
divellings • It may be said of this peer
that he is a sportsman by profession. He
has inherited a rental of one niillion
francs, on condition that he shall alwayi
maintain three packs of hounds, and shall
hunt six days in the week. Another
clause in the will binds him to expend
two hundred and fifty thousand francs a
year on his hunting e:.tablishinent There

would cause the bequest to be revoked in

force, or shield him from the full weight
of his misfortune. It is as tf his right

broken,and every movement that he made
brought him to the ground. His eye:4

tremens, brought on by exCesstve

the patient to the constant influence cif
the vapor of spirits. The plan is not
new ; having been long used in Sweden
to radically cure drunkenness. The per•
sons addicted to drink are shut up in a
and all the food supplied ihem in
impregnated with brandy. At the end of
four or five days they become completely
disgusted with the taste and smell, and
they come out radically cured The
slightest smell of spirits at last wakes
them shudder. 1

shortly to be tried in London to turn the
scarcity of rags to good account. A tag
collecting brigade is to be formed, to con

ized under a committee, and who are to

there are any rags to be sold The b4s
are to have trucks, and will be furnished
with weights and scales. and will buy rags
at a settled price, giving a printed mem
orandum for the weight and price. Tlit,
rag-brigade, like the shoe-black brigade.
will be dressed 'in uniform, and will be
under proper control
