AM really quite shocked at your J. conduct, Nettle: It Is most Indeco rous," and the speaker, Nettle Dan fortli's maiden aunt, a prim, well-deserved lady of about forty, put on a severe look. "Why, auntie, what have I done now?" querrled Nettle, raising her eyes In well-sluiulated surprise. " You know too well, I fear, child. You will persist In trying every means In your power to attract the attention of Ned Bartrain, and really your flirtations with him are too much for me to endure calmly. I feel that I must remonstrate, aud try to awaken within you a sense of modesty, which now seems deadened, or at least sleeping. Now, when I was young " " When you were youug 1 Why aunt, I hope you don 't consider yourself old 1 don't," cried Nettle, with animation, hoping to detract her aunt's attention from herself by A little delicate flattery. " Why ahem no, child, not old, of course, but I have passed the age of gushing suhoolglrlhood, and can now, from my twenty-eight years of experi ence, judge more clearly of what Is proper for a young girl like you." " To be sure, aunt, I acknowledge that you know what Is best; but you speak of your experience; do tell me about your old beaux," urged Nettle mischiev ously. " Beaux," cried Miss Elmer, and her face expressed all the horror she felt. " Why, my dear, I never thought of such a thing! As I told you before, the ideas of the young girls of twen ahem ! of a few years ago were not all bent on such things. Yet there are you who, with the examples that have been set you, should be a most modest, retiring girl, using your greatest endeavors to captivate this young man. It's shame ful, positive shameful. I blush for you." " No, don't ; I'll do it for myself." Nettie covered her face with her hands, and Miss Elmer observed, with great satisfaction, that her niece's face was quite crimson ; but alas 1 we are sorry to say it was not, as the good lady Imagin ed, with mortification, but suppressed laughter. "I'll tell you what I'll do, aunt, con tinued Nettie, after a pause of apparent confusion. I '11 promise to follow your example. There, will that satisfy you?" " Perfectly. And though I say It who shouldn't, I must say that I think you will find little to blush for if you follow In my footsteps." And the lady lifted her head . rather proudly; while Nettie, having given and received the kiss of reconciliation, managed to stifle her mirth until she reached her own room, where it found vent in a clear, melodious thrill of laughter, as she said : "Ah, aunt, you think I don't know about your demure flirtation with old Doctor Allen ; of your occasional necces sary visits to his office for medical aid, and your unexpected encounters in the street ha, ha 1 hut I do. And It will be my own fault If I don't marry Ned Bartrara, in spite of your shocked sense of propriety." " It's all nousence, my dear boy, sheer nonsence, the Idea of you, who are hardly cf age, talking of marriage." And Ned Bartram's maternal- uncle grew quite red in the face In his Indig nation. " Why, uncle, I'm twenty-five. I should think I am almost old enough to be looking out for a wife, that is, If I ever intend to have one, which I most certainly do." " Pshaw I ten years hence will be time enough. No man ought to marry be fore he Is thirty-five ; he don't know hl9 own mind." " But, uncle," expostulated Ned, "who is going to wait all those years for a fellow ? Certainly not pretty Nettle Danforth. Why she has a dozen lovers already, and although I am happy to say that she has discarded them all lu my favor, I could not think of presum ing to ask her to wait a dozen years for me." " Why, there are other young ladles in the world besides Nettle Danforth, my boy. To be sure, she is pretty, and, I presume, is as sensible as most young girls; but she is altogether too young. Now, if I were to select, I should choose some sensible woman of mature age say about such a person as Miss Nettle's aunt, Miss AraminU Elmer. Ah, my boy, there's a sensible girl for you. She'd make a first rate wife." " Ugh I she's forty If she's a day," muttered Ned to himself in disgust. The turning to ids uncle, he said, smilingly : " If you have such a tine opinion of the lady why don't you marry her your self, Uncle Allen ?" "I I marry 1" and the old gentle man's face became purple as he bustled excitedly about the room, with hands clasped under his eout tails. "How adsuid! Ned, you know I don't believe In such nonsense. I've lived ftfty-flve ahemt forty years with out thinking of it, and it's not likely I am going to make a fool of myself now, Is It V Is it, I say slrV" demanded be, Indignantly, halting his chubby little person before his amused nephew. " Well, my dear uncle, you see we disagree so upon thai subject. Now I should call it any thing but making a fool of yourself if you were to marry; and really, sir, I agree with you that Miss Elmer is a fine old girl," said Ned, mischievously. " Old, sir, old ? Why, Ned, my boy, what are you talking about ? She tells I I mean I have been told, that Miss Elmer is twenty-eight or so; just the proper age for matrimony." " Well, If you say so, why, of course I am bound to believe you ; but really, if any one had asked my opinion, I should have added ten or twelve years more; but any how, uncle, take my advice and marry her. You can't do better; and then perhaps you will feel more charitable Inclined toward Nettie and myself." " No thanks for your advice," roared the irascible old gentleman. " Keep It until it Is asked for, will you ?" " There," as Ned opened his mouth, as if to speak, " not another word, sir. Get out of my room, will you, with your uncalled-for-advice! Ned smilingly obeyed. He knew his uncle .too well not to feel sure that his anger was but moment ary ,and that, as the old gentleman was really one of the best hearted men liv ing, he would have gotten well over his indignation before they met at the table. "Good Heavens!" murmured the doctor, as he sank exhausted Into a chair, and then ran his hand nervously through his scanty curls, "the young rascal will have me accepted and mar ried before I know It." " Can he suspect my partiality for Miss Elmer? No, I think It is only his inveterate love for match-making. He is crazy to run his own head into a noose, and so wants everybody to be as Idiotic as he Is." And the ofl'endlng nephew whispered to himself as he walked away : " The old gentleman is certainly smit ten with the peerles (?) charms of Miss Elmer, and I shouldn't wonder if they made a match of it after all, as Nettie predicts. Ha, Ha ! How uncle colored up when I proposed It." Miss Elmer sat In her brother's parlor alone, dressed iu her best, and with her well dyed hair arranged in the most becoming fashion. She sat rigidly erect in her chair, as motionless as if sitting for her portrait; but it was for something far more important that she was attired with so much care she expected a visitor. The family had all gone to a neighbor's to tea, but she by a preconcerted plan, had excused herself on the plea of a headache, and now, with a fluttering heart, she awaited the coming of her visitor, Doctor Allen, who, she felt assured, would joyfully seize upon such a favorable opportunity to declare his passion. A low, ralbertrresolute knock sound ed on the door, und Miss Elmer hastened to open It. "Ah, is it you, doctor?" she cried, smilingly. " Walk in. I am In solitary grandeur, and was feeling quite lonely." " Lonely, my dear madam 1" ejeculat ed the little doctor as he removed his bat, and followed his hostess Into the parlor. " Lonely I Oh, sweet lady, would I could guard you against all such feelings. Believe me, it would give me the most intense happiness," and he placed his hand upon his heart, and bowed deeply. " Why, doctor how you talk," and Miss Elmer simpered, and attempted to blush behind her fan. " You men are such odd creatures." " Odd, dearest madam I odd? Well, I admit it; we certainly are odd when Cupid pierces us with his downy shafts. Aud then, madam, it is the ladles who are to blame, for who can withstand their bright glances and sunny faces ?" And he gave her a most affectionate glance. Miss Elmer really did color, this time from excitement, for she felt that the decisive moment was very near at hand, and murmured : " Dear me, doctor, what a flatterer you are!" "I assure you, dear lady, I do not flatter. Ah, Araminta?" and down plumped the little doctor upon his knees. " I assure you that I am In the most solemn earnest. I have lost my heart to your bewildering charms, sweet one, and will not rise from here until you promise to be my wife." Much as she had longed aud waited for this moment, during her long years of splusterhood, Araminta Elmer was dumb with delight, and a little real embarrassment. But mistaking her silence for aversion, the doctor cried : " If you won't have me, Araminta, I'U-I'Jl-take poison!" "O h I" screamed Miss Elmer. "I will," he averred solemnly, for getting his late declaration, and rising to his feet. "Oh, then, Jonathan, I will promise anything you please," cried Miss Elmer, blushing. "Take me, dearest; I am yours!" And she flung herself into his arms. But the weight was alnyst too much for the enamored doctor, who staggered back, and would undoubtedly have .fall en, had not a knock just then sounded on the front door, and Miss Elmer with drew herself from his arms, gasping : " Oh, my ! they have returned. What shall we do ? I would not have them find you here for anything. They they would tease me so about you, Jonathan, dear." And she simpered. " Goodness gracious, Araminta!" cried the doctor, mopping his hot face with his handkerchief. "I'm sure I wouldn't have that rascally nephew of mine find me here fur a thousand pounds. Can not you hide me ?" The knock was repeated, this time much louder. " Yes, this way," cried Araminta In desperation, and she pushed him into the china closet. They won't find you here, and as soon as they leave the room, I'll let you out." " One moment, my dear," exclaimed the doctor, popping out his head as she was closing the door. "You promise to be mine?" "Yes, yes, anything only get In," she cried, In a panic, and satisfied, the doctor drew in his head and his betroth ed closed and locked the door and pock eted the key with a sigh of relief. "Ah'is It you ? I declare, you gave me quite a start. I was dozing," fibbed Miss Araminta, blandly, as she admitted Nettle and Mr. Bertram. "I thought I heard some one talking to you as we stood upon the steps," said Nettie, suspiciously. "Oh, Mr. Bertram," cried Nettie suddenly, "have some of the finest cake; mother made it yesterday. You must taste It" and she essayed to open the door of the china closet. " Why, it is locked ! Where can that key be?" she cried, wonderingly. A rattle of dishes sounded within the closed followed by a crash and a wild cry ; and then a voice exclaimed : "Oh, oh! Help! Murder! I'm killed! Let me out !" Miss Araminta uttered a piercing scream, and fainted. The door now burst open, and out hobbled the doctor, and a most pitiable gpectable did he present. His hands, face and clothes were be daubed with Mrs. Danforth'e best pre serves, and he limped painfully,emitting a deep groan at every step, for one of his feet was held firmly in a large trap which had been set to catch the mice that infested the closet. On hearing Nettle's attempt to open the closet door, he had, in a blind attempt at concealment, essayed to climb upon the topmost shelf, but, unable to sustain his weight, the shelf gave way, and precipitated him, togeth er with a quantity of china, to the floor. Despite the poor man's distress, his appearance was so ridiculous that it caused an irrepressible burst jf laugh ter. He was soon released from his unpleas ant predicament, and was then much more inclined to treat the affair as a joke. Ned began to quizz him unmercifully, but Doctor Allen was equal to the occa sion, and taking the hand of the blush ing Araminta, who had recovered from her swoon, he said bravely : " Yes, Ned, I have after all concluded to marry, and the sooner you follow my example, you young dog, the better; and the day that sees pretty Miss Nettie here your bride, sees you the pos sessor of ten thousand pounds." " Nettle has promised ' to marry me, uncle," said Ned, taking the hand of his betrothed. "And you know, auntie," said Nettie, laughing and blushing at the same time, " I promised to follow your example, but I will not hide my lover In a closet." A Negro Justice. A GEORGIA colored Justice showed wit and sharpness in a trial where a white lawyer was trying to " bull doze" him. It appears that a white lawyer was called to plead for one of his clients before this ebony Justice, and not fancy ing that the negro had any mind of his own, prophesied an tasy victory for himself. Bo when it came his turn to plead, be sent to his library for a very large number of law books, and, arranged them on the desk before him, began to search them and turn down leaves in each one. When he had ihus marked about two dozen fat volumes, he began his plea, and from time to time he would pick up a book and begin- reading. ari immensely long extract. The colored Justice sat blinking and showing evident signs of distrust of his own ability to comprehend, for half an hour, when suddenly he said : " Mas'r John, is yo Is yo gwlne ter read in all dem books dut a way ?"' " Well, your honor answered the lawyer, blandly, " I wished to call your attention to a large number of opinions pertinent to the case." "Mas'r John," continued the sable trial justice, "'pears like de mo' yo' reads outen dem books de mo' clouded like I gits in my rain'. Now Mas'r John, I reckons dat I better decide dis cage on de equity .an' justice on it. Bo just lef dem books alone 'n conic on af we." The lawyer did so; but In telling the story the next day he said, "Confound his equity and Justice. That nigger, decided the case dead against me after all." Evidently the colored Justice was determined not to be overawed by a too copious use of law books. A Few Facts About Tunnels. There are In the world about 007 rail' road tunnels; total length, 291 miles.

A Boy's Ambition. A few days ago a Justice of the Peace took his little son on an excursion. The lad interviewed the man at the wheel , and gathered much information relative -to the business of steam-boating. Pres.. entlyCiis father joined him on the bur-, rlcane desk and asked him how he was . enjoying himself. " First-rate," was the enthusiastic re ply. "I'm going to be a steamboat man, papa." " All right, hut you will have to study navigation, astronomy and divers other sciences,ln order to become a good one." The lad said nothing at the time, but appeared to be revolving the difficulties of the case in his mind. Perhaps half an hour later he remarked, with much, gravity : man ; I'd rather be a Justice of the Peace; you don't have to know any thing for that." Manheim Sentinel.

"One hour of justice," said Moham med, "is-worth seventy years of pray er." But that is not the wiep word of a prophet or even of a philospher, it is the snap-judgment of an enthusiast. There is no true prayer that does not make way for Justice; no man truly prays who does not seek to le made more just. Seventy years of genuine prayer will produce a great many hours of iusttee Sunday Afternoon.
