blissful dreams-he aroused himself with
a half sigh at the celibacy to Nc;hieh he
had inwardly pledged himself. - -
"Them pesky 'boys are in the medder
'squire,!'again, said' the man, Joe,
thrusting his' head through the door.
"That - Jere grass'will be so tied up that 2.
it can't be mowed nohow you can fix It."
• The boysof the neighborhood had been
very•annoying of late in their depreda
tions upon his orchard and garden, in
which he took no little pride, . and the
announcement of this - fresh "raid"
'finite exhausted his remaining stock of
patienCe.
"They are ?" he eXelatmed. "I've
tried whatvirtue there is in words, now
I'll ,try the• effect of something 'more
potent. Go and bring Bruno -
With the large mastiff at his heels,
which, fierce as it was, was perfectly
under his master's control, 'squire
Graves reached the brow of the hill
which'gave him a view ,of the raiders.
In a • stooping posture, little could be'
discerned of them above the, tall grass.
save their hetidg, whose strange gear
certainly gave them d very masculine
appearance. -
In spite of his injunction desirous of
frightening rather than hurting "them,
'Squire Graves held back the eager dOg
until he had, by a loud halloo, warned •
thein of his design. •
As soon as the girls saw the fierce ani
mal, with open mouth, bearing, down
upon them, they let fall their pails and
baskets and made for the. nearest en
closure, over which they tumbled in a
nrauner distinguished h sbygracethan
expedition ; giving Vent, in the- mean
time, to a series ,of piercing screams,
such as can proceed only from female •
lungs, and those in a state of unusual
health and vigor.
All•got safely over,with the - exception
of Kate, who, being the last to go, hit
her foot against a stone, and was mO-
Mentarily stunned by the fall it occa
sioned.
As 'Squire Graves caught a glimpse
of the flying foe, his angry feeling
changed to astonishment and dis May,
and he quickly hastened to the spot to
prevent any farther mischief. ; .
"Back, _Bruno! back, you br te!" he
exclaimed, a 4 Katelrose to her feet and
turned hi. , ,t'iTtishe(lll face totvars him.
' Good - Iletiens! il._ was the tivinity
that hadoccupied his thoughts solnuch
of late:. : ,
, "I earnestly trust that you have- sus
tained no injury, MissiWilder! hesaid,
removing his hat respectfully as he
spoke to her.
"Not in the least, sir ; though it isnot
at all owing t-67, any consideration on
your part!" - •
"Very gentlemanly conduct, I must
say !" she added, looking with an in
dignant air, firsit at her soiled dress, and
then tic cite crest-fallen man before her.
"i—i beg your pardon." he stammer
let:A bnt the faet; is, your dress so de
thah really tool: you to
he boya!" ,
" Took HI: 'to 4 , bopii ?" repeated Kate,
iii astonishment:x
Then, ari her eye fell upon the hat atP
her feet, her auger evaporated in aclear
ringins; luugh, which did more than
anything eke could have, clone to re
store cull• hero to his usual ease and self
po:+ses:Aen.
]ii the meantime, the rest of the girls
had sought the thelter of a grove in an
adjoining field. - Missing Kate, two of
the boldest. of them voilinteered to go
and aseettain her late. -'Ac they came
within sight of the field of their disas
ter, they were astonished to see '2.quire
Graves politely assisting Kate over-the
fence; which act of gallantry she re
ceived With much apparent -compla
cency and good humor. •
When Kine• reached the - grove, she
found her companions bemoaning their
several mishaps. One had: lost .a net,
another a shoe; dresses had been drag
ged through the mud,. and torn in
-various places, and their, apparel, ,as a
whole; -- was in a rather dilapidated con
dition; i ncy were on ?he unanimous
opinion that 'Squire Graves was a
"brute,' an "ogre," a perfect savage."
'Kate fastened to these anathemas in
silence,• though with eyes brimming
with mirth. At last, unable longer to
contain herself, she burst fourth :
"squire Graves isn't to blame: What ,
.do you think, girls ? he thought we
were boys!"
and
Rate-sat down upon the grass,
and laughed until the ars n
iolled down;
In ft Plieekt: , ', in which te w s joined by
the rest: -1,-
sent humble apologies to you
all," continued Kate, as soon as her
Mirth permitted , her to speak, "and
said, 'that be should be happy to have
us pick strawberries in hip meadow
whenever we felt disposed to dd so.'
What,do you think of that?"
"Think q' said Josie, with a' signifi
cant look ;1"I ;think that the 'perfect
savage' has been tamed very, suddenl_w
What kind of a chard did,you use, eh,
Kate .
At this, Kate blushed, and for once,
was at a loss for an answer. SO she
changed the subject, by proposi 'll
they itll should start tqr home. '7 O llllll
Whtit that blush meant, it. isimpossi
hie to say, but this we know, that there
vk its (pate a inarked changed in 'Sijuire
G raves' habitA and wanner ; he com
menced upon the 'neighbors,
and soon became as sociable as any one
or them'could desire, though it must be
confessed that he called at Mr. 'Wilde's
much more frequently than at any oth
er place. And more than this, the very
next Thanksgiving Eve, there was a.
pleasant gathering at Mr. Wilde's dur
ing Which a certain ceremony was per
formed, at the conclusion of which
wild Kate,was Kate Wilde no longer.
Yet, although she took a Or'avei• *name,
her husband avers, (and certainly 'he
ought to know,) "that she is the' same
- merry, provoking creature that she was
'when she stole; not only his strawber
ries, but the heart of their owner."
EARLY RAILROADING IN. PENNsYL
vANIA.—GeneraI Simon Caineron is
one of the party of=;excureionists in
KansaS. At Leavertworth , ..the g party
took to speech making; General Cam- ,
eron atnong the rest. In the course of
some interesting remarks, he made, the
following reference to early railroading
in Pennsylvania. He believed that he
was one of the first originators of a rail- .
road in Pennsylvania. It ;was then con
sidered an immense enterprise ; it was .
a railroad forty miles in length between
La aster and Hajr,kburg; Pensylva=

less than three days. Before long the

upon the 'shoh‘s of the great Pavitie, -,
