Why He Didn't Propose.
il J" ATE, if you think I am going to
J. admire your rueful face in silence
any longer, you are mistaken 1"
Th6 speaker was Miss Flora Hastings
by name, and the person she addressed
was hermoBt Intimate friend, Miss Kate
Elliot. Our heroine, Kate, 1b of medium
height, with a perfect figure, tiny hands
aud feet, and free, graceful movements.
Bhe had large hazel eyes, a brilliantly
fair complexion, with a rich color In her
cheekB, dark, chestnut hair, falling In
large, thick curls upon her neck, and
most beautiful features.
" Well, Flora," Bhe Bald, with a deep
sigh, " Walter Elliot Is coming to-morrow."
" Well V"
Z." Father has gone to New York for a
fortnight, aud my coubIu Walter is com-
ingto propose to me "
"WellV"
" Well, well 1 It ain't well, it's very
ill. I don't want to marry him 1"
" Then refuse hlml"
" I can't 1"
"WhynotV"
" Oh, I thought you knew all about it.
Walter Elliot is my father's brother's
son; my father and uncle had one
sister, an old maid, very wealthy.
About three years ago she died, aud left
her money to Walter and myself, if we
married each other. Father la rich;
so is uncle George, but whoever of us
refuses the other, loses aunt Lizzie's
money. Last week Walter became of
age, and, as I am seventeen, our respec
tive papas have concluded that we are
old enough ' to settle this matter, so
Walter comes to-morrow. Father, who
was obliged to leave home this morning,
charged me not to refuse my cousin, and
If he Bhould take a fancy to me, Harry
says "
" I thought Harry was at the bottom
of it ; but talk of angels here he
comes."
The new-comer, a tall, handsome
young man, Harry Grahame, and Kate's
husband elect, in case the formidable
cousin did not propose, sprung up the
steps of the balcony, and seated himself
between the two young ladles.
" WThat's the matter V Kate darling;
you look lugubrious I" was his first
question.
Kate told her troubles, concluding
with " Oh, Harry, tell me how to make
him hate me!"
" Can't think of any way, upon my
honor ; if a description of the young
gentleman, you say you have not seen
for six yeara, will help you any, here it
Is ; Walter Elliot is very good looking,
excessively refined, and very dandified ;
thinks ladies should be the piuk of
neatness, sweetness, quiet obedience and
submission ; by the way, Kate, if you
marry him you must calculate to give
up Bhooting and riding."
While Harry had been speaking,
Kate's face had brightened up wonder
fully; as he finished, she sprang up,
clapping her hands together and cried,
"I've hit it!"
"Hope you didn't hurt it much," said
Flora.
" But," said Harry, " I thought this
matter was all arranged. I promised to
call him out and shoot him."
"Nonsense, Harry! but set your
mind at rest; I've hit upon a tip-top
scheme. Here Adam! Adaml" she
cried, waving her hand to a man who
was weeding In the garden below them,
" harness up Billy in the carry-all.
Harry, you shall drive me into town.
I want a whole lot of things. Let me
see ; I want a black wig, some walnut
dye, a more jockey-looking cap, a pair
of green spectacles for Flora, a larger
riding-whip "
" Kate Elliot," said Flora, seizing her
by the shoulders, and looking straight
into her face, " have you taken leave of
your senses V"
"No, I'm ouly considering how to
take leave of my lover; but come, we
must dreBS for a drive, and as we go to
town, I will tell you both my plan."
The next day, in the afternoon, Wal
ter Elliot arrived at his uncle's house.
Flora met him at the door, and Intro
duced herself as Miss Stralghtlace, Miss
Elliot's companion. Bhe was dressed in
a high-necked dark dress, with a plain
linen collar, wore a white muslin cap,
and a pair of green spectacles. When
they entered the parlor, they found
Harry extended on the sofa, and he also
was completely metaniarphosed. A
jockey's dress, red wig, highly rouged
cheeks, and a large patch over one eye,
altered him beyond recognition.
"Mr. Elliot," said Flora, "allow me
to introduceyou to Mr. Patrick O'Bryan,
Miss Kate's instructor in riding and
shooting."
" The top of the day to ye," said Pat,
lazily rising, and shaking Waiter's hand
vigorously.
" I do not see my fair cousin here,"
said the discomfited dandy.
" Oh, Kate l" said the pretended Irish
man ; " she's about somewhere."
At that instant the report of a pistol
was heard. Walter's hat turned round
on his head and then fell to the floor.
"Hit it, by Jove!" cried Kate's voice,
and then a figure sprang in through the
window, and the same voice said, " Why,
man, have you 110 more manners than
to keep your hat on before Stralghty V"
I Bald Kate's voice; for the figure wag
Very little like Kate. Her own brown
curls were concealed under a black wig,
which wus arranged in a vety blowzy,
unplcturesque manner ; her little jockey
cap was placed Jauntily on one side of
her head; her dark, green rldlng-hablt,
although it fitted admirably, was torn
in ffeveral places, and revealed a pair of
gaiters, two or three sizes too large for
the pretty feet they covered ; and her
own complexion was dyed to the hue of
an Indian.
"How d'ye do, cozr" said Kate,
carelessly, as she threw her gauntlets
upon the table. " Oh 1" she cried, point
ing to a curl upon the top of her cousin's
head, and at the same time drawing
another pistol from her belt, " what a
splendid Bhot. What will you bet now,
coz, that-I can't singe that curl, and not
touch your face 1" and she pointed the
pistol full at the dandy's head.
"Cousin, for Heaven's sake don't
shoot!" cried the horrified Walter.
" Not shoot ! Why not V Nonsonse, I
will shoot, but make your bet first."
" Excuse me, I decline being made &
target of, at the risk of having ray
brains blown out."
" What risk V I'm sure to hit. Pat,
you put something on your head, and
let Walter see what a Bhot I am ; name
a bet first."
" Well," said Harry, " if you hit, I
kiss you ; if you miss, you kiss me."
" Kiss that fellow !" groaned Walter.
" Call me a fellow again, and I'll pitch
you out of the window !" shouted Har
ry. " Come, come gentlemen, don't quar
rel," said Kate, " Pat, I agree to your
bet. Here, put this apple on your
head, and kneel down before the east
window."
A close observer could have seen a
hole In the apple piercing it from side to
Bide. Harry took it, put it on his head,
and knelt down before the east window.
Walter looked another way ; the pistol
which had no ball was fired ; and then
Kate caught up the apple and triumph
antly exhibited the hole in it. The next
moment "that fellow" was taking his
bet.
" Could you aim a pistol at my head ?"
he whispered.
" No," was the reply ; "cousin Walter
really believed the little stone you fired
at his hat was my ball. Now, you get
out of the way with Floy as soon as you
can."
" If you please, Miss Kate," said a
little Btable-boy, putting his head in at
the door, " the chestnut filly has got the
stoggers!"
" What ! cried Kale, seizing the boy
by the collar, aud dragging him into the
room. "Whatl" she cried again, with
a scream of passion. "How dare you
come here croaking V" aud she plied the
riding-whip about his shoulders, till the
poor fellow thought his promised dollar
was hard earned.
" If you please," sobbed the unfortu
uate victim, " the groom sent me, and
he says, what shall he dot Oh, dear
Miss Katel please I how that whip
stings! Oh, ow! oh " and a long
drawn howl completed the sentence.
" Pat, dear," said Kate, " will you go
see about the filly; and you stupid,"
she added, speaking to the boy, " see if
you can take my gloves and whip into
my room. Gracious I how my hair Is
blowzed by riding!" she said, as soon as
she was alone with her cousin. "Oh!
Walter," and she popped down beside
him, " I want to tell you all about my
ride this morning. You see, there was
. a party went to see Mr. Peters and I run
a race. I bet my diamond pin against a
gold chain on a steeple-chase. Well,
we started 1 First there was a run on
level ground, then a ditch to leap, then
a fence and ditch, then a hedge and
fence, aud then all three at once. Off
we went; Belim pulled to take the lead,
but I held him in, until w came to the
fence ; over we went, In fine style ; but
my habit caught on a nail, and tore this
great piece out, and it is hanging there
now for aught I know. I vow ! Bee the
chain, is it not a beauty V When we are
married I must have plenty of riding !
I adore riding and shooting. There! I
forgot that curl, do stand up now, that's
a good fellow ; you know what a shot I
am. When we are married"
"Zounds, cousin, we never will be
married."
A flash of triumph shot over Kate's
face.
"Nonsense, man ; don't get into a
passion. You know we must get mar
ried. Why pa won't let mo flirt a bit,
because I'm engaged to you ; and so I
ean only coquette with Mr. Peters and
Pat, and Joe Banders, and and oh,
cousin, do smooth down that curl, it
really is too tantalizing. I will play for
you," and catching up a French born
that was on the piano, she blew such a
blast that Walter clapped both hands
over his ears.
"Oh, cousin," cried the hoyden,
throwing down the horn, and dragging
hlin to the window, " see, there is my
groom with the chestnut filly, as well
ever lie was. Won't I give it to that
little liar for scaring me bo t Only let
me catch him, and I'll cure him of lying
for one while. Ain't he a beauty, cous
in V When we are married, you must
give him the very best place In your
stable; and oh! cousin, 1 want a sulky
like James Brown's when we are mar
ried ; pa won't let me have one now ;
but I mean to do just as I . please when
we are married."
" We will never be married," scream
ed the unfortunate dandy. "I'd as lleve
marry the Witch of Endor."
" Yes ; but, cousin, we must be mar
ried ; we are engaged."
" I will write to your father, deolinlng
the alliance."
" Don't, cousin ; he would scold so.
But if you insist, there are pen, ink and
paper ; but don't, please, be too hard on
me."
" There, Kate, there is the note, and
now I have the honor of wishing you a
very good day."
" Nay, nay, cousin, you must not go.
You came to Btay some weeks, and you
shall not go to-night. I expect Mr.
Graham and Miss Hasting to spend the
evening with me, and I will be' as quiet
a girl as I can if you will only stay.
Here come my friends."
Harry and Flora passed through a
second introduction in propria persona
without exciting the least suspicion,
and Kate left them to entertain her
cousin while she went to change her
dress.
When she returned, she wore a white
dress with short sleeves and low neck,
and her clean face and hands looked
whiter than ever from the contrast they
afforded to their late dyed state. The
ugly black wig was gone, and her own
brown curls fell in rich profusion over
her snowy shoulders ; a tiny pair of ex
quisitely fitting slippers completed her
fascinations.
Walter rose In perfect astonishment.
" Oh I cousin," said Kate, holding out
both hands, " I am delighted to find
you still here. What I" she exclaimed,
as he imprinted a kiss upon her lips,
" you are willing to give me some cous
inly regard then."
The evening passed pleasantly with
music and conversation, and Walter
stayed three weeks with his charming
cousin. All that time he did not know
whether to be furiously jealous of Harry,
or to congratulate himself upon an
escape from a wife who could shoot and
ride like his cousin Kate. Flora, who
admired his face, figure and manners,
had a Bhare in making him finally
adopt the latter course of thinking, and
about the time that Kate became Mrs.
Graham, Walter carried the lovely
Flora to share his city home.
Learn the Value of Money.
A silver dollar represents a day's
work of a laborer. It is given to a boy.
He has no idea of what it has cost, or
what it is worth. He would be as likely
to give a dollar as a dime for a top or
any other toy. But if the boy has
learned to earn the dimes and dollars by
the sweat of his face, he knows the dif
ference. Hard work is to him a meas
ure of values that can never be rubbed
out of his mind. Let him learn by ex
perience that a hundred dollars repre
sents a hundred weary days labor, and
it seems a great sum of money ; a thou,
sand dollars is a fortune, and ten thou.
sand dollars is almost inconceivable, for
It is far more than he ever expects to
possess. When he has earned a dollar.
he thinks twice before he spends It. He
wants to invest it so as to get the full
value of a day's work in it. It is
great wrong to society and to a boy to
bring him up to man's estate without
this knowledge. A fortune at twenty.
one without it is almost inevitably
thrown away. With it and a little cap
ital to start on , he will make his own
fortune better than any one can make
it for him.

Spreading Themselves.
The more a man sees of the world, and
the more he mingles with others, the
smaller space is he inclined to claim for
himself among his fellows. He sees
that in the pushing struggle of life, other
people's rights must be considered ; and
he must not take more ground than just
enough to stand on. This is very mark
ed in all crowds, and in all public places
and conveyances. The man or woman
who is best versed in society makes
smallest demands, and occupies least
space. The persons who take more
room than belongs to them are those
who have been least in company, least
accustomed to adapt themselves to the
needs of those about them. If you want
to be thought well-bred, traveled, cosmo
politan, keep your elbows in a crowd,
and sit close in a street car. If you want
to be thought boorish and uncultivated,
and to be recognized as one who waa
never much in good company, push
both sides of you, as well as in front and
rear, In a crowd, and spread yourself
out in a car , or In a public hall. It is
by such indications as these that we see
that the demands of Christian regard for
the rights and feelings of others secure
the best results of good-breeding. To be
a well-grounded Christian man or woman
includes the highest graces of true gen
tility. Pitying the People.
The temptation to lazy men to appro
priate the thoughts of others is some
times very great, and it is the greater
when their lazyness has led to putting
off preparations until a late hour. One
of these procrastinators, a neighbor of
mine, was at my house on Saturday
night. When it came 10 o'clock, he
rose to leave. I said,
"Don't be in haste."
"I must go," he replied; "I have
half a sermon to write this evening ;
don't you feel sorry for me ?"
"Not a bit," I said; "I pity the
people."
Having Both.
Samuel Johnson says that " Interest is
the mother of attention ;" but attention
is the mother of memory. To secure
memory, therefore, secure its mother
and grandmother. It is a very common
and fatal error to neglect this grandpar
ent. When one is absorbingly interest
ed in a theme the mind becomes strange
ly perceptive, and draws to Itself, as a
magnate gathers up iron filings, all
information within its reach as to the
topic in hand.
