Courting Under Difficulties. JT1WAS a beautiful day In July. The JL golden sun was shining brightly, and the little English sparrows hopped merrily from limb to limb, and tried their very best to tell the pedestrians how happy they were. Among the many handsome ladles and gentlemen who were promenading one of Brooklyn's most fashlduable streets on this fine summer day, was one gentleman who immediately attracted attention, lie was a tall, handsome young man, attired In accordance with fashion's strict and capricious demand. This gentleman was Mr. George Sin clair, cashier of the bank. He stopped, finally, before a large, handsome mansion on C street, and rapidly ascending the marble steps. Ills summons was immediately answer ed by a gayly dressed colored -servant, who conducted him to the parlor, and announced to the beautiful young ludy sitting at the open window that Mr Sin clair had arrived. Let us digress a moment, and describe the fresh and glowing beauty of Allue Bommerville, the only child of the rich banker, Ezra Bommerville. She was about twenty years of age, and possess ed a superb figure. Her blooming fnce glowed with animation and health, aud the blushing roses of her cheek formed a pleasing contrast to the lily whiteness of her neck and brow. Her great blue eyes shone with far more brightness than stars ; her long, waving hair rip pled far below the shapely waist, and shone like threads of purest gold; her white, even teeth and delicately chiseled lips outvied pearls and rubies. Fairer than the fairest her beautiful face out rivalled the hour! of the poet's dream. George had been waiting on Alice for a long time, and rumor hinted that they were engaged ; but, as usual, rumor was mistaken. George loved Miss Bommerville with his whole heart, but, like many others, he found difficulty in saying so. On this beautiful summer afternoon he re solved to declare his love and know his fate. So, after a few common-place re marks, he took the lady's little hand in his own, and said, " Miss Bommerville Alice I love you I I have loved you Bince I first be held your face. I have often desired to tell you so, but have been too diffident. Now hear my vow ; I swear that I love you better than" " Oysters I oysters I" shouted a fish peddler, as he rattled by in his rickety vehicle. . George was very much put out by his sudden interruption, and Alice dropped her head upon his shoulder to conceal the smiles which rippled o'er her face and beamed from her laughing eyes. But our hero was determined, and con tinued, " I love you better than my very ex istence 1 You are the idol of my soul I When I look upon your pearly cheek I think of" " Soap fat 1 Soap fat I" roared a stout Irishman with an immense kettle on his head, as he ambled past the house. George bit his Up, but bravely con tinued, "I think of the pure and glistening snow. Your dear voice never fails to touch a responsive chord in my heart, and when you are singing that beautiful balled, commencing" " Umbrellas to mend V Wash tubs to to mend V" inquired a lame man as he gazed up at the open window. George ground his teeth together and resumed : "When you are singing 'Ever of thee I'm fondly dreaming,' it seems as if an angel voice was whispering love into my soul. Oh, darling, say that my love is reciprocated I Your slightest wish shall be my law. I will dress you In " "Rags! rags!" Insinuated a red-headed boy, as he pushed his wagon by the house. This last interruption was too much for the gravity of the.'ludy, and she laughed heartily. George wiped the moisture from his brow, and in au un dertone invoked dire maledictions upon the head of the offended junkman. But he determined to have it over with at all hazards, so he went on : " I meant to say, dear Alice, before that infer I beg your pardon, I mean that brawling ragman interrupted me, that I would dress you like a queen. Don't refuse me I Say that you will be my wife." Alice, who really loved the hand some young man, looked into his eyes, and, as she smoothed his raven hair, said " George, if I were sure that you real ly meant what you have been telling me, I should be tempted to give my consent." " Oh, Alice," cried the ardent wooer, in a reproachful tone, " eau you doubt my love? I swear by " "Kindlln' wood I Kindlln' woodl'l suggested a cross-eyed colored man In a cream-colored coat, as he paused In front of the mansion. " I swear by all my hopes that I have only spoken that which my heart and soul prompted me to. Do you believe me, Alice V" "Yes, George," she murmured, "I be lieve you." "Oh, thank you I thank youl" cried the now delighted lover. "And now, darling, that you have consented, let us talk about the blissful future. I will buy a cottage, and you can have a little garden and spend your time cultivating dellciously perfumed" "OnlotiBl onions I" hinted a thin fe male with an old shawl over her head, as she shuffled down the street. "Oh, confound the peddlers 1" pettish ly exclaimed George. "It seems as if the entire fraternity had resolved to per ambulate this street to-day. I meant to say that you could tend the flowers while I was absent. I have quite a sum of money, and intend going into' busi ness for myself. I think I shall try" "Mutches and shoe laces 1" suggested a small boy with a remarkably big voice. This comical interruption was too much for human nature, and George aroso and paced the floor exclted1y,while Alice nearly strangled herself in at tempting to suppress her emotion. "Alice," Bald George, with a woe-be-gone expression, "for Heaven's sake take me out into the hall, in the kitchen, cellar any where but this room I The peddlers will drive me mad if I remain here much longer." Alice consented, and led the way to the bnck parlor. While they were go ing, George remarked, "I could not tell you half my plans in that room, Alice. My mind is confused, and my language Beems to be all" "Soft soap I soft soap I" declared a shrill voice from without. George struck his forehead savagely and said something, but fortunately the slamming of the door rendered it unin telligible to Alice. Once removed from the cause of his trouble, George soon regained his good humor; and succeeded so well with his wooing, that, when, about two hours after, he took his departure, he did so as the prospective husband of the hand some heiress, Alice Somerville. Not long after this, George and Alice were married. George's description of his love was not in the least overdrawn, as his only thought was to make the life of his young wife happy. Our hero's aversion to peddlers has never been re moved, aud he always regards them with an unsympathetic scowl. And now, when Alice wishes to tease him a little, she merely remarks something about "matches and shoe laces." A Dutchman's Lesson. ANY shentleman vot vill go round pehind your face und talk in front of your pack apout sometings, vas a shvindler. I beared dot Brown says veek pefore next apout me I vas a henshpecked hiiBpant. Dot vas a lie! De proof of de eating vas in de pud dings: I am married twenty years already, Und I vas yet not paid-headed. I don't vos oonder some petty-goats gofern ments ; shtlll I tinks it vas petter if a feller vill insult mit his vife und got her advices apout sometings or oder. . Dem American vomans dot know sometings nefer about her huspant's peesness, und veu dem hart times comes, und not bo much money comes in de house, dot makes not some tifference mit her. Shtlll she moost have vone of that pull-back- in-de-front- hoop skirt-petty-goats, mit efery kind trimmings. Booty soon dat huspant gets pankrupted all to pieces. Dey send for de Doctor; und vhen de Doctor comes de man dies. Den dot vomans vas opliged to marry mit anoder mans vot she don't maype like mit four or six shildrens, on ac count' of his first vife already, und possobably vone or two modders-by-law vone second-handed und de oder a shtepmudder-out-law. Den she says mit herself, " I efen vish dot I vas dead a little." Now if Cherman's husbant go dead, don't make a pit of difference. Nopody vould hardly know it, except maype herself. His vife goes on mit .de pees ness on sbust like notlngs has happen ed to somepody. American vomans and Cherman vo mans vas a different kind peobles. For instinct, last year dot same feller, Mr. Brown, goes mit me in de putcher peesness togeder. He vas American man so vas his vife. Veil, many time vhen efery peobles has got the panic pooty bad, dot vomln comes to her huspant und says she mooat have money. Den she goes out riding mit a car riages. Vonce on a time Brown says to me, " Bender, I vouldn't be henshpecked." So he vent off und got himself tight shust pecause his vife tells him please don't do it. Den he sits down on his pack mit de floor, und if I am not dere dot time he never vould got home. Veil, dot night, me und my vife, ve had a little talk apout sometings; und de next tay I says to Brown, " Look here vonst ! My vife she makes sau sages, undvorks In dot shtore; also my taughter she vorks by the shtore und makes head-skeeses ; und your vife vas going out riding all de times mit de horses car, und a patent tled-pack car dinal shtrlped stockings. Now your vife mooBt go vork in de shtore und cut beefshteaks, und make saurekraut, or else ve divide not equally any more dot profits." " Veil, Brown goes home und he tells his vife apout dot. Den she comes pooty quick mit Brown around, und we had a misundershtandlng apout sometings, in vhich eferybody took a part, includ ing my little dog Kaiser. Pooty soon up comes a policemans und arrests us for breeches of promises to keep de pieces, und assaulting de battery, or sometings. Den de Arm of Bender & Brown was broke up. I go apout my peesness. My vife Bhe helps in de shtore. His vife goes riding mid the horses cars, und efery nights she vas by the theater. Vot's de gonsequences t Along comes dot Centennial panic. Dot knocks Brown more higher as two kites, py Chlmmlny ! My income vas shtill more as my outcome. But 'Brown, he goes 'round dot streets mit his hands out of his pockets, und he don't got a cent to his pack. Old Maids and Old Bachelors. OLD maids are useful. They can cook, sew, take care of the children, nurse sick people, and generally play the piano. Old bachelors are useless. They do not even know how to drive nails or split wood. Old maids are amiable. If one wants anything done that requires patience and kindness of heart, a single lady is sure to be the one to do it. Old bachelors are ill-natured. They desire to be as disobliging as possible, snub children, despise babies, and hate young mothers, and are always so busi ly employed in seeing that other people take good care of them that they have not a moment to give to any one else. Old maids are nice-looking and very "young for their years." Old bachelors generally have red noses, rheumatism in their knees, bald heads, and mouths that turn down at the corners. Old maids can make a home of one little room, and cook delicious meals for one over the gas Jet In cunning little tin kettles, besides making all their own wardrobe. Old bachelors need an army of tai lors, writers, cooks, distant relatives, and hotel landlords, to keep them com fortable. When old maids are ill they tie up their heads in pocket handkerchiefs, take homoepathio pellets out of the two bottles alternately, and get well again. When old bachelors are ill they go to bed and send for four doctors ; have a consultation ; a mantlepiece full of black bottles, all the amiable married men who belong to the club to sit up with them at night, beside a hired nurse; they telegraph to their rela tions, and do their best to Impress the world with the idea that they are dy ing. When an old maid leaves this sphere of action Bhe straightway joins the white-robed host, but with a crusty old bachelor it's a little mixed. Ex. " The old bach" in our office has no doubt but that an " old maid" wrote the above. Proposed to his Grandmother. COLONEL THORNTON, of the East India service, tells this romance of his youth : " One clear starlight evening in June, Helen and I were walking on the ter race among flower-beds, that were cut In the soft green turf. Inspired by the stillness and odorous Influence of the air, I told her my heart's secret.wlth all its hopes and fears. " She looked at me wonderingly , and tears glistened in her beautiful eyes as Bhe-said :" " Ah, Captain Thornton, are you sure, do you do you love me Y It cannot be. No, never!" " Why," I cried.lmpetuously pressing my suit with her, " you love another V" " Sir," she said almost sharply, " do you know who I am ?" " The loveliest girl iu England !" " No, Bir ; I am not ; Great heavens, Captain Thornton, I am your grand mother." " My grandmother I" Talk of sudden shocks after that, won't you t I tried to speak, but my voice failed me. I reached out my hand and touched her. Yes, she was there, real enough, and I Vas not dreaming. " Tell me all," I gasped. "And standing there, by the broad stone coping, she told me all. How her parents had died when she was little more than an infant, and Sir John, her guardian and my grandfather, had watched over her with Jealous care al ways keeping her at school, however. until he brought her home a young lady. "Then, while I was In India, the poor old man fell suddenly ill, and on his dy ing bed persuaded his young ward to marry him, Just In order to share his vast estote, which she had refused to take as a legacy. " And believe me," said Miss Helen, " I did it only to keep it for you, the rightful heir, whose wildness had tem porarily provoked the old gentleman." The Greatest of Trifles. THE best fidelity to Christ is shown in a dally vigilant service to him in trifles, in efforts to honor him In a daily vigilant service to him in trifles, in efforts to honor him in humble, in conspicuous services, such as in good temper iu the families, sympathy with man and beast, honesty in business, liberality to servants, fidelity to em ployers. These things make up the best disclpleship. The same truth ap plies to many things. The best paint ings are those where such details as the blades of grass, the leaves of the trees, the lines upon the water, and similar minute points, are most perfectly de lineated. Artistic excellency consists chiefly in. the complete accuracy which the sloth ful or the ignorant worker cannot, or will not accomplish. The great Italian sculptor, Michael Angelo, was once visited by an acquaintance, who re marked, on entering his studio, " Why,, you have done nothing to that figure since I was here last." " Yes," was the reply; "1 have softened this expression,, touched off that projection, and made other improvements." " Oh !" said the visitor, "those are mere trifles." "True," answered Michael Angelo, " but remember that trifles make per fection ; and perfection is no trifle." In like manner, the highest forms of de votion to Christ consist In fidelity to apparent . trifles. For only heartfelt love and abiding recollectedness of Him, as an ever-beloved object, will enable his disciples to maintain through out each day, in word and company, in busy occupation and before his enemies, the duty of honoring Him thus con tinuously and in the whole details of life. How to Cure Stammering. LUTE A. TAYLOR, editor of the La Crosse (W1b.) Leader who was born an inveterate stammerer writes as follows about the way to cure the habit : " No stammering person ever found any difficulty in singing. The reason of this is that by keeping time, the or gans of speech are kept in such position that enunciation is easy. Apply the same rule to reading or speech, and the same result will follow. Let the stammerer take a sentence, say this one, "Leander swam the Hellespont" and pronounce it by syl lables, scan it, keeping time with bis finger, If necessary, letting each syl lable occupy the same time, thus, Le-an-der-swam-the-Hel-leB-pont, and he will not stammer. Let him pronounce slowly first, then faster, but still keep ing time with words instead of syllables, and he will be surprised to find that, by very little practice, he will read with out stammering, and nearly as rapidly as persons ordinarily talk or read. Then practice this in reading and conversa tion until the habit is broken up. Per severance and attention are all that ia necessary to perfect a cure." An inextinguishable Fire. Some fifty years ago, a gang of Bel gian miners, angry with another set of underground workers, set a mass of coal on fire to smoke out their comrades. How well they succeeded, let the record of half a century tell. Years have pass ed away, a generation has faded, the angry passion of those who thus sought revenge has become a thing of the past ; but the fire started in that mine long ago blazes on, and no earthly skill has yet found the way to extinguish it. Burning on, ever consuming, it is a fitting type of the unceasing power of sin and passion, of the never-ending, fire which they kindle. From the Huff..
