A SNOWY night; gaslight glimmer ing faintly through myriads of flying flakes pavement in that slippery state when the newly fallen snow gives beneath your feet sudden gusts driving the storm Into your face like a shower of pins and needles and a general sense of discomfort In the atmosphere that as far as pen and Ink can render It, was the state of things upon that stormy February evening when Marmaduke Ferroll stumbled over George Le8lie,and they had nearly shut the door In Frank FesBcnden's face upon old Medbury's doorstep. "I thought," observed the former gentleman, with a slight suspicion of embarrassment In his manner, "that I'd just step round and inquire how my un cle Samuel was after that last touch of gout." " Of course, of course," assented Mr. Leslie, shaking the snow from his um brella in the vestibule. " As it was a stormy night I thought uncle Samuel might be lonesome." " And I," observed Frank Feseenden debonnalrdly, " have come hither, not because I supposed uncle Samuel cared particularly to see me,or because I found myself unable to exist without his pres ence, but simply to ask if he could help me to a situation." Marmaduke Ferroll and George Leslie eyed the third cousin dubiously. " Uncle Medbury don't like to have favors asked," observed Ferroll, dryly, "I'm sorry for that," said Frank "but I can't help it." "Excuse me, cousin Fessenden," smoothly put in Leslie, " but all elderly persons have their peculiarities, and my uncle is particular about one's toilette "Once again I'm sorry," confessed Frank, with a rueful glance at the threadbare seams and glossy collar of his garment ; " but this is the best coat I've got, aud I don't believe in running in debt for another one." Just then the door flew open with a suddenness that was startling, and a sharp, abrupt voice, not unlike a bark, demanded: " Who's there ? And why don't yon come in and have done with it?" Mr. Medbury was a little bald-pated man with a falcon-shaped nose, sharp, keen blue specks of steel, and a smooth shaven skin-and he looked like a second edition of Napoleon Bonaparte as he stood in the elegantly furnished study, a low fire burning on the marble hearth, wine and walnuts on the table, and a bunch of hot-house grapes, half hidden in roses on a silver basket beyond. Ten, Ink and paper were pushed back, and a crumpled newspaper lay on the carpet beyond Mr. Medbury's easy chair. The three nephews entered accordingly. Mr. Medbury greeted them after his fashion ; but as he went to draw toward him the tray of fruit, his pen handle rolled off and fell, of course with the point of the pen sticking deep into the carpet. Mr. Medbury uttered a hollow groan. " There's my gold pen gone 1" la mented he. . My gold pen that I have had for a quarter of a century I" The nephews were loud in their con dolence and sympathy, but Medbury was like Rachael in Scripture, and re fused to be comforted. "Will you hold your tongue ?" brusquely demanded he. "It's bad enough to lose an old friend like my gold pen, but to be deafened by your howls is sufficient to drive one insane." And the three nephews subsided at once. " Now then," said Mr. Medbury, abruptly, still eyeing the broken nib of his beloved golden ren,- " what do you all want?" " To spend a social evening with you, sir," said Leslie politely. "To Inquire after your health," smoothly remarked Ferroll. " To ask a favor of you, sir," said Frank Fessenden. "First two humbug I" barked the old gentleman. "Last one probably the truth. What favor now, eh, Frank V Mind, I won't lend money. I never lent a farthing, especially to a relative." " Fortunately It's not money that I want," said Mr. Fessenden, with phil osophy. " I would like your influence to secure me a vacant situation at Mellor and Moorham's." " What !" cried out the old gentleman Ironically surprised, " a Fessenden turn ing clerk?" " A Fessenden bad better work than starve," said Frank dryly. "I'll see about it," said the old gentle man. Now then go home, every one of you." " Sir I" cried out the uncle's nephews in chorus, scarcely able to believe their ears. " Go home, every one of you. Are you deaf? I've lost my gold pen. I don't feel In the humor for company. Good night." And thus Samuel Medbury dismissed his anxious kinsmen. The great Jewelry store of Mellor and Moorhani was no sooner open the next day than in walked Mr. Ferroll. " I wish to look at your gold pens, please," said he, with a nod at the shop man, whom he knew. "Something very nice for old Medbury you know old Miser Medbury we call htm. Ha, ha, ha 1 He's broken his, and it's a good chance to curry favor with the old hunks. " Exactly," said the shopman, draw ing his hand across his lips with a curious sort 'of a grin. " Here are some very fair specimens, Mr. Ferroll ahem I" Mr. Ferroll was hard to please, but .finally made a selection and went out, leaving directions that the present should be sent at once, with his card enclosed ; and not fifteen minutes after ward in marched George Leslie. " Gold pens," said he. " The cheapest you've got. It's like buying a lottery ticket to give anything to old snap-and-snarl Medbury ; one never knows how he may take It, and It Isn't likely he'll know (he difference between an A No. 1 article and a second- class one." " Your cousin, Mr. Ferroll, has Just given eighteen shillings for one to be Bent to Mr. Medbury," said the shrewd shopman. " Eh 1 What! ' How t Confound his meddling Impudence what put the idea into his head ? Then I suppose I shall have to send a twenty shilling one, although the deuce knows lam unable to spare the money. These uncles are a terribly expensive luxury." And he paid the reluctant twenty shillings and took his departure. Upon the very door slep whom should he meet but Frank Fessenden. " Eh ? You're coming to buy a gold peu, are you V" surlily demanded he, "but you're too late. Ferroll and I have both sent one." " Nothing of the sort," said Frank cheerily. " Uncle's a jolly old brick, but I can't afford expensive presents while my board bill is yet unpaid, and my washerwoman clamoring for funds. I suppose he hasn't been here yet this morning?" "Who, Uncle?" " Yes. He wrote me a note to be here by ten o'clock." " Yes, Mr. Fessenden, he's here," said the shopman, advancing and rubbing the palms of his hands together. "Just back here In the cashier's office. " Eh ?" cried out Mr. Leslie, his com plexion turning a dull bilious green. " My uncle at the cashier's desk ? And only a bit of ground glass and a rose wood railing between him and me ? Why then, of course, he's heard every word I said?" " I'm afraid Its exceedingly probable, sir," said the shopman with a covert grin. " It's no fault of mine. I was just about to caution Mr. Ferroll about speaking out so freely, but the old gen tleman made me a sign to hold my tongue; so what was I to do ?" In the same breath, out came Mr. Medbury from the cashier's little railed in-den like a Jackin-a-box. ' Much obliged for the gold pen, my dear boy," he said, chuckling and grin ingand looking more like Napoleon Bonaparte than ever. "But you are mistaken about old Snap-and-Snarl's judgment ; he's pretty sure to know a a good article when he sees it. And tell your cousin Marmaduke, If you should happen to see him, that old Miser Med bury has got as many gold pens as he's likely to want for the present ha, ha, ha!" And if ever Mr.. Medbury enjoyed anything in hisllfe he enjoyed that Joke and the too evident discomfiture of Mr. George Leslie. I assure you sir, I am very sorry," began that young man. "And I'm very glad!" said Mr. Med bury abruptly. "I like to be certain about things, I like to know whether my nephews are fools or knaves, or like this one," clapping Frank Fessen den on the back, " a tolerably honest fellow. Come, Frank, we'll see about this vacancy. I'm always willing to help a man that is ready to help him self, and I only wish your cousins were half as thoughtful about board bills and washerwomen's accounts as you are." Frank accepted the situation it was only a poor hundred a year clerkship, but as Medbury sagely remarked, It might be a stepping stone to something better ; and he did well so well that at the end of six months Medbury scan, dallzed his herd of expectant relatives by announcing his intention of adopting Frank as his son and heir. "I've been like Diogenes with bis lantern, all my days looking for an honest man," observed the old piece of eccentricity. "And I believe I've found him. Duke and George came near im posing upon me at one time. I had my doubts about 'em but I never should have been quite certain if it hadn't been for that business of the gold pen. I didn't exactly see myself as others saw me, but I beard of myself as others were probably in the habit of hearing 1 ha, ha, ba!" And that was the way in which old Medbury chose his heir.

EARLY in 1859, Charles Colllns.wrote a book about the then unknown Colorado and Fike's peak, In which he gave a glowing picture of the whole region. This book had a good deal to do with stimulating emigration. After the rush to Pike's peak had been going on for some time, Collins with the late A. D. Richardson, set out for that place. Collins kept distributing his books all along the line and collecting his sub scriptions at the ranches previously can vassed, until, after some days of travel, both began to be aware of the fact that a great many of the emigrants, who had gone out weeks before, seemed to be returning. Their wagons no longer bore the bold inscription, " Pike's Peak or Bust," but it was transformed to this effect, " Pike's Peak Busted." The two travelers unaware of the depths of chagrin and slgnlflanoe behind this, thought little of it until they had traversed about one half the route 300 miles from St. Joseph. Here was a famous stopping place, known as Jack Morrow's ranch, a place where Collins and Richardson had determined to put up that night. Collins who was well acquainted with Morrow, got some dis tance ahead of Richardson, in whose wagon, besides himself and driver, were a number of emigrants, also bent on try. Ing the new country. Collins as he drove up to Morrow's ranch waB considerably surprised at the sight. The place was everywhere swarming with miners and emigrants, all excited and savage about something or other. There was loud talking every where, and loud threats against some body, who in every breath came in for the most violent and Utter execration. Collins was about to toss one of his books to Morrow, who came forward hastily when he saw him, and getting up close to him, he said in a voice husky with suppressed excitement : "Collins git!" " Git out o' here quick," said the ex cited ranchman, as he waved his hands and disappeared. Collins, now thoroughly aroused, thrust his book back under his seat and bade his driver get out and mingle with the crowd and And out what was the matter. In a few minutes the driver re turned with a face white as a ghost, and told Collins that the miners were offer ing a reward of f 2,000 for the bodies of Collins and Richardson, dead or alive. Having heard that they would be along that way, they had come to a stop at Morrow's ranch, and secured a couple of ropes, intending to hang them. Collins quietly slid down from his buggy and sauntered out to the edge of the crowd. Here he heard himself and Richardson denounced in the most un sparing manner. Seeing there was no time to lose, he instructed the driver to take another route, while he himself circled around the crowd unil he reach ed some tall grass, when he took to his heels. After running for more than a mile, he stopped. Like a flash the ques tion crossed his mind. Where was Richardson? He turned around and struck across diagonally for the old toute on reaching which, some distance from Morrow's ranch, he presently met Richardson's team moving along leis urely. It required but an instant for Collins to inform him of the true state of affairs, hearing which he was no less frightened than Collins himself. The result was that they struck off on a new route, and finally reached Denver with out further adventure. Denver was then a settlement of about 1,00ft inhabit ants, all living in tents. Boon after their arrival there, the two pre-empted 120 acres of land each. Becoming disgusted afterward, they threw up the land again. To this day Collins brings his fist down on his knee and says, with au emphatic air of common regret : " And fools that we were, this land is now the heart of the town, and sold in less than ten years afterward for $1,000 per acre." Talked Too Much. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Mulchay lived on a farm. They were shrewd and thrifty, and bad the reputation of being "close." Finally Mrs. Mulchay sickened and was about to die. Finding herself Hearing her end, she expressed a desire to put things in order before that event occur red, and old Tom prepared to listen. "Tom," says Mrs. Mulchay, there's Mrs. Smith up at the crossing, she owes me a dollar and eighty cents for butter; see you get it." " Sensible to the last, my dear ; sensi ble to the last," said Tom. "I'll get it." "Then there's Mrs. Jones up at the creek, she owes me a dollar aud a half for chickens." "Ah! look at that for a mind; she forgets nothing." "And Mrs. Brown, in the village, she owes me two dollars and thirty cents for milk." "D'ye hear that? Sensible to the last I sensible to the last I Go on my dear." "And and yes. And Mrs. Roberts, at the tollgate, I owe her" "Ah! poor dear! poor dear!" broke in old Tom, hastily ; how her moind does be wandering ! Sure we've allowed her to talk too much Intirely, so we have!" How it was Done. " How do you manage," said a lady to her friend, "to appear so happy and good natured all the Unie V" " I always have Parker's Ginger Tonic handy," was the reply, "and thus easily keep myself and family in good health. When I am well f always feel good na tured." Read about it in another column.
