sculptor but i am neither i was bookimper for brown 4 co- wholesale dealers in bides and ullow henry bower a voting man of a very lively disposition was employed in the same office we boarded and room ed together one night henry and i attended one of the lycenm lectures in w we had hardly been in tbe hall five minutes before my attention waa fixed upon ouo of the ladies upon the front scat she was a lit tle to tbe right oi me bat she was l very earnestly o the lady next to her her face was turned toward us and susceptible as i am i ooald not but be impressed with the beauty of it indeed i condvt withdraw my gaze from the bautiful young lady before me she had golden hair and her bluest of eyes swam full of love and sweetness her nose was small and straight and she had just the prettiast dimple among the blushes on either cheek- and then such a mouth what red lips teeth of pearl flashing be tween the roses her forehead was smooth and broad and her neck i aaw aiarasa fur cape drooped low onjicr shoulders was white as alabaster and smooth as marble i believe i did not hear a word of the lec ture- a month passed witfut my seeing any- thing of the beautiful stranger but about that time i received an imitation to visit my friend ifrs begard in if she is a widow of forty and is the mother of a certain kiss segard familiarly known as clara i knew thatilrs segard had tried to bring about a marriage between clara and mysejf and believe i was not much opposed io the match 4 clara was a good girl with flashing black eyes and hair but her form was short thick and dowdyish i admire a handsome form quite as much as i do a handsome face i might have marries her i really think i should but for a utile affain whitfi happened at the moning started far m bowers accompanied me to the depot while i was buying my ticket i noticed another gentleman come into the waitingroom my first thought was that was my shadow that i saw before me he was about my height had a light complexion like mine ad eyeijgnhiiygrfty and one ot them turned in just liko mine he had on a tall hat tipped on one side of his sandy locks and sohad i and further more he carried in his hand a small carpet bag marked j mcd tied to hisstraps so did t i looked at him and he returned the compliment j i say air said the stranger looking dawn at my oerpet tag idftt hd ftna ex i amining the tag are you john mcdolau or am i my name is mcdougal i hope you are an honest man for you boc if you should happen to rob a bank forge a note pick a pocket or cut some bodys throat i might have to suffer per- haps swing far it t cau give you reference as to my char acter i auawered ten thats very good but mr mc dougal which way are you going up or down down i have bought my ticket then im going up i dont think wed best travel together- theres the train starting now goodbye mr mcdougal i wish you nucceas and for my sake dont spoil your character to get to m which by the way is a rather outoftheway place a small one- horse town with one tavern two churches and a poor house i had to leave the cars at t and then take a private couvey ance to m five miles distant 1 could have gone by the stage but that only left t ouce a day at five oclock in the morning so when the cars stopped at t 1 took my carpet bag and stepped out on the platform there was quite a large number of peo ple at the station but i took no notice of any of them except a tall brawny man in a brown overcoat and slouched hat who started for me as soon as i stepped off the cars i was about to move away when the man with the slouched hat laid his hand heavily on ray shoulder youre a villain sir i repeat it youre a villain a miserable scamp said a corpulent gentleman coming forward and scowling fiercely kow i felt that i was a match for the latter but as to the other one i didnt doubt but what he might be able to work me up into shoe strings or something of the kind in about three minutes will you explain yourselves gentle men i asked trying to smile yes i will answered pthe bigoue patting great stress on the wl certainly growled the corpulent gen- tleman with a tierce smile come this way you racal said the tall one drawing me along with him kow said the tall gentleman turning and confronting me 111 introduce my self i am captain augustus boyuton do you know us now v well really i replied wondering in my mind what in the world was coming really i dont know anything more about you than what you have just told hush said the captain and he bent down and hissed in my ear i am carrie boyntcns brother and i am her father growled john boyuton ah really do you say so i could not help smiling the whole affair seemed so ridiculous give my regards to carrie ha i you laugh at us do you you vil lain cried the captain look here said he lowering his voice to a horrid whis per look at these i did look for just then he drew from his pocket a handsome case and opening it displayed a pair of splendid silver- mounted daeling pistols take your choice a cold tremor now ran through my frame was i to be murdered choose quick urged the captain sir said i in a tremulous voice while the cold drops of perspiration stood out upon my brow there must be some mis take im bookkeeper for brown d- co dealers in hides and tallow my father was norton mcdougal my mother was mary mcdougal my grandfather was confound your grandfather either marry my sister as you promised to do a month ago or take one of these pistols and oh belpv- hry up you whelp and the captain clapped his broad hand over my mouth choose quick youngster said the elder boynton i wont fight i cried t then marry my sister or well drag you through the miupond it was hopeless for me to remonstrate i could not convince the enraged father and son that i was not the villain mcdojan i dared not cry for help what should i do marry a woman whom i had never seen before whom i knew nothing about i had little time fo consider life was sweet to me a ducking waa disagreeable and as to the duel j should have been a dead man at the first shot choose said the captain giving me a kick with his boot ill marry her all right and the captain smiled grimly as he re turned the pistol to its cabe the elder mr boynton went after the carriage but before i had ceased to tremble he returned the captain helped me in and then seat ed between the chivalric father and son i rode away there were plenty of people on the streets but i was warned not to shout if i knew what was healthy for me we rode at a smart trot for abont two miles i should think and teen the captain reined up in front of a large twotory white house standing near the road and surwundftd by a high white fapce there was a gravel walk up to the front door and several large cherry trees stood in the frofct yard here we are said the captain getting down and motioning for me to follow the door opened just as we reached it and who should fall into my arms but the identical young lady who had made such a strong impression upon my heart the night of tbe lecture in w f oh john i knew you would be true she cried and the captain snickered as he led the way into tbe parlor but once thero i succeeded in convincing miss boynton that i was not mcdoian her father apologized and the upshot of all was that i consented to stop over night with them and am happy to state that i passed a very pleasant evening i learned too that this john hcdolan for whom i had been taken was a gentle man of wealth and leisure and that he only had one fault which was promising to marry every pretty woman he became acquainted with then i told my story and both mr boynton and the captain seemed pleased and so didcarrie especi ally when i offered to stand in mcdolans shoos and well my dear reader i did about a month afterward we had a grand wedding and clara segard was one of the bridesmaids and henry bower was grooms man and i am very well satisfied that mcdoian took the up train instead of the down laugh mother laugh mothers do not laugh enough the housekeeping is so onerous the children w often trying to nerve and temper the servant most exasperating and even john kind good husband that he is cannot understand all our vexations and discour agements and so wearied do we often feel that it is loo much for the household to depend on us in addition to all our cares for social sunshine as well yet the house hold does and it must father may be bright and cheery his laugh ring out but if the mothers laugh fails even the fathers cheerfulness seems to lose aome of its infec tion in the aad bat forcible lines of joanna baillies dream her little child had caught the trick of grief and 6ighed amid iu playthings we may catch a glimpse of the stern re pressed life at bothwell manse where the repression of all emotions even to the gentlest seems to have been the lesson i remember well hearing a lady say when i was a little child i used to wish so often that my mother would look cheerful then laugh mother even if you do feel almost too weary to exert the facial muscles and you have to make a pitiful effort which comes nigh bringing tears instead of a laugh you will feel better for the effort and so will the children the little ones unconsciously to you and themselves are catching the expression of countenance which will go far to brighten or cloud some future home then laugh mother parlor nursery and kitchen all eel the effect of your smile or frown and when the mothers eyes are closed the lips and hands forever still there is on sweeter epitaph which cnildren and friends can give them she was always bright and cheerful expecting a letter i dont see how it is exclaimed an east side man as he entered the postoffice the other morning u i can never get my letters ou time are you expecting something by mail asked the postmaster politely expecting something i should think i was ive been expecting it for the past three days continued the man im patiently this is probably what you expected said the man of letters with a selfsatisfied smile aa he took the bill from the man a box and handed it to him yes growled the man taking the en velope which he supposed contained the expected letter without looking at it this was due three days ago three days ago exclaimed the post master a little surprised why your tailor said when he pat it in that it was due three months ago it did not take that man long to discover the true inwardness of the postmasters re marks but when he did he was man enough to lick the postmaster and every stamp in the office wxse words one true friend adds more to our happi- ness than a thousand enemies to our unhappiness do not feel proud at having supported your misfortune how could you not have supported it both erudition and agriculture ought to be encouraged by government wit and manufactures will come of themselves ko man can possibly improve in any company for which he has not respect enough to be under some degree of re straint a plain narrative of any remarkable fact emphatically related has a more striking effect without the authors comment the best government is not that which renders the individual happiest bat that which

constantly laughing talking and making uncouth grimaces- i paused and administered a severe rebuke after the close of the service a gentleman said to me sir you have made a great mistake that young man whom you reproved is an idiot since that i have always been afraid to reprove those who misbehave themselves in church lest i should repeat the mistake and reprove another idiot during the rest of the service at least there was good order give the boys a chance give your boys a piece of land wl ma nured let them grow what they please with- the privilege of selling the crop and using the money
