PRESTON. Patience Pottleberry set her face like a flint against all mankind. Possibly she had a spite against them, because they had nev er shown a predilection for her society even in those days, when, though not fair, she might at least claim the attraction of.youth. Be it as it may, she had come to regard man as a sort, of necessary nuisance with whom the less she had to do, the better.. So far as this prejudice regarded he; own comfort, it made little difference, but there was one per son to whom it did make a vast deal of dif ference, and this was Kitty Pottlebcrry, her niece. • A word as to Kitty. She, was a fresh, plump, rosy, little body, just the one to make a young man's heart go pit-a•pat.— She wag the orphan child- of Miss Pottle berry's brother, and her spinster aunt, being well to do, had undertaken the charge of 'her. She was disposed to treat her kindly, but had so frowned upon all the young men who had shown indicatione of "making up" to Kitty that it was quite evident she in tended to bring her up an old maid like herself.. Now. Kitty didn't relish this inten tion of her aunt's She had numerous ob jections to it, the greatest and' most import ant being Jack Hargrave; a handsome young carpenter, who lived near by, that is, when he was at home. Miss Patience had observed with alarm _t bat_J_ack_h a d_s sycral_times—ac.companied Kitty home from church. She treated him therefore, with such polar rigidity that Jack lied never but once ventured to accept Kit ty's, invitation to call. Had ho followed his own inclination he would have passed at least every other evening with her. This under the circumstances,, required a 'degree of,courage' which he did not possess. " One afteinoon h'e was made happy by the following note ,from Kitty ::' ; DEAR. Jacat I—Aunt Patience is going 'to the sewing circle to-night. -.She. willigo about half past' six and- wont be at home till 'nine or ten o'clock: 4 I don't think I'shall go; havii9 a bad hea4cite. 1 ,may feel lonely, It / without aunt. .. . .

"It.feels a little better than it, did,", 'said Kitty, an odd little 'smile gathering on her features. "'Where's the: old' lady? Is she gone?" asked - J'acki - a little apprehensively: "Yes, Jack. She's at this moment sew ing industriously on.some flannel night-caps for the young Hottentots, rexpect. Won't' you come in ?" "I think I will, Perhaps ,I can supply her place while shee'gene. rm very much disappointed to find your ,aunt is away." "Shall I tell her. so when she comes home, Jack ?"' "Yes, if you think it best, Kitty." There was a bright fire on the hearth, and two arm chairs were drawn up in frOnt.— Jack seated' himself in one, Kitty in the other. "Now Kitty," said Jack. socially, "this is what I call comfortable. I wish we could sit so every night, Kitty." "Ye's, Jack, it would be pleasant' "And so we will; too - ." "Aunt would never consent." ';How can she help herself when we're married ?" "0 Jack !" exclaimed Kitty, pretending to be very much horrified. ' "Yes Kitty, 'I mean it—when' we're mar ried. I know your aunt wants you to bean old maid like herself. But, bless you Kit ty, you never was cut out for an old maid, "Annty-saya-that-marriages-are - almost always unhappy." "Do you agree with her Kitty ?" ' - Kitty laughed. • "I see you don't. but what's on the hearth,lin the tin mug'?" "Some camomile tea, aunt male for my ladache." Jack laughed heartily. "1 •can telryou of something better than camomile tea for curing the headache." "What is it ?" Jack bent towards Kitty, and something was heard very much - like a kiss. • "Now be quiet, Jack. If yo,u don't I'll go oft and leave you." I am not going to relate any more of the conversation that took place between the young lovers, for though very interesting to themselves, I doubt whether it would prove equally agreeable to my readers.— They were so much absorbed that thoy were entirely unconscious of the passage of time. Two hours and a half passed, and the clock was pointing to half past nine, when a creak. ing step was heard outside and a fumbling was heard at the front door. "Goodness, gracious !" exclaimed Kitty springing to her feet in dismay. "What shall we do! There's aunt come home." "The dickens !" "What shall I do ?" "I'll face her like a man." "No. That won't do. Run, hide some where. lip stairs: Do hurry." She opened the door at the foot of the staircase, and Jack bounded up stairs. .Kit . fin ely closed-the-door T and-sat-thrw I beside the fire looking considerably flushed. Her aunt entered the room. "Well, Kitty, child, how do you feel ? Is your headache better ?" "Yes ma'am," said Kitty.meekly. "You have a good deal of color. Do you feel feverish ?" /"No ma'am—that is, not much. Did you have a pleasant meeting ?" "Very. and a very profitable one. I made a night cap and a half. You would have en joyed being there." "Yes ma'am," said Kitty, who doubted it very much all the time. 'Did you drink your camomile tea ?" ask ed Miss Patience. "There's a little left," said Ritty, display ing the mug from which she had emptied three-quarters out of the window. "Very well. But you'd better drink the rest." "No, aunt, I don't think. it will be, neces sary. My headache doesn't trouble me much now!, At'this momenta loudnoiSe.was heard in the room above, as if an article had - fallen upon the floor. "Bless me, what's that ?" ejaculated Miss Patience. "Perhaps is the eat," said Kitty,,turning ,pale. ' "Shall I go up and See ?" Miss Patience had taken. off her shoes, and was warming her feet at the fire, otherwise she would have gone up herself. As it was she-allowed Kitty to-go,up in her stead. Running up stairs Kitty discerns her lov er just getting into the closet in her. nunt's room. • "Confound it," said he, "I happened to hit the tongs; and down they ,crashed. 2 Did you hear them ?" "Yes, they Made an awful' poise.' Aunt -sent-me-upt-to-see-sAat-was-the-matter—But what are•you meaning •to do; •Jack ? You won't stay here all night?" • ' "I'm going to get your aunt's consent to our marriage to-flight." "It's impossible." ' , • . ' "We'll see. Is your aunt afraid of ghosts?"

"Who are you?"' am the spirit of Catherine's father," re turned Jack. 'I am come to demand an ac count skf 'your stewardship." "0 mercy I I've tried to take good care of hei." "Then why do you stand in the way of her happiness ?"' "I--I never meant to."" _ "But - you do. She's in love with 4ti ex= cellent -young man, and you prevent her mar rying him. If she should die, it will be laid_ at your door." "I—l didn't know she loved him to much. Besides I don't approve of marriage." "You are a fool," said the spirit 'irrever ently. "Consent to her marriage to-morrow, and I' will leave you. Otherwise I will come back every night." "I-will-4-do,IL -said-the-terrified - spinste r. "Please go away." "Shut your eyes for five minutes. When you open them I shall be gone. But rennin , bet your promise." ' Miss Patience kept her eyes closed for ten minutes, so fearful was she that the ghost would be offended. When she opened them she - forrod - herseiritiono---in-the-thitmber, The next day she signified to Kitty that she had no objections. 'She even exhibited an eagerness to have the ceremony take place, which equally surprised and gratified Kitty. Kitty is non , Mrs. Hargrave, and her aunt lives alone. Since this memorable night Miss Patience has been undisturbed by ghost ly visitants much to her relief. Though she never says anything about the occurrence she always shakes her head and looks wise whenever ghosts are mentioned, and there is a current report that her house is haun ted. An Unkind Tear When Fused to tend store at the Regula tor, in Syracuse, the old gentleman ,came round one day, and says he: • "Boys, the one that sells the most goods 'twixt this and Christmas, gets a vest pat tern' as a piesent." Maybe we didn't work, for the .vest pat tern. I tell you there was some tall stories told in praise of goods just about that time; but the talleSt talker, and ono that had more cheek than any of us, was a certain Jonah Squire, who roomed with me. Ha could talk a dollar out of a man's pocket . when he had aily-intemleti - #o - spfm a sixpence; and: the women—Lord bless you—they just handed over their pocket books to him, and lay out what he liked. One night Jonah woke up with—'l3y-gosh old fellow, if you think that stuff's got any cotton in it, 111 bring - down the sheep it was cut from and make him swear two his own wool !—‘Twon't wear out etther-,-had a pair of that kind o'stuff myself for five years, and they're as good now as when I first put - 'em on I Take it at thirty cents and I'll say you don't owe me anything, Oh! too dear? Well, call it twenty-eight cents. What do ye say? Shall I tear it r All right—it's a bargain.' I could feel Jonah's hand playing about the bed clothes for an instant then, rip! tear! went, something. or other, and I hid my head under the blankets, perfectly convulsed with laughter and sure that Jonah had torn the sheet from top to bottom. ' When, I woke up next morning, I found —alas unkindest tear of all- 7 -that the back of my night shirt was split,from tail to, col lar band ! GROWING seems bat.a summer since we looked forward with eager hope to the coming year. And now we are looking sadly back. ,Not that the dream has passed, but that it has been of no more worth than thoSe around us.

Upon being asked how it was possible to occupy his mind in the se clusion of retirement, he replied with a Smile.

An elderly maiden lady writes to a friend: "A widower, with ten ehildren,. has :propos ed, and I have accepted him.
