sculptor but i am neither 1 was bookkeeper for browu 4 co wholesale dealers ia hides and tallow henry bower a young 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 iyceomlatures ni w- we had hardly been in the hall five minates before my attention was fixed upon cue of the ladies upon the front seat she was a lit tle to the right of me but she was talking very earnestly to the lady ueit to her her face was tamed toward us and susceptible as i am i could not but be impressed with the beauty of it indeed i conjavt withdraw my gaze from the beautiful young lady before me 6he had golden hair and her bluest of eyes swam fall of love aod sweetness her nose was small and straight and she had just theprettiast dimple among the blushes on either cheek and then such a month what red lips teeth of pearl flashing be tween the roses her forehead was smooth and broad and her neck i saw twiaras a fur cape drooped low on her shoulders- as white as alabuter and smooth as marble i believe i did not licar a word of the lec ture v a month passed without my seeing any thing of the beautiful strangor but about that time i received an invitation to visit my frieud ifrs segard in m she is a widow of forty and is the mother of a certain miss segard familiarly known as clara i knew that mrs segard had tried to bring about a marriage between clara and mybjf and believe i was not mach opposed the match 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 little affain wluch happened at u the nwmiflg x started m- bowers accompanied me to the depot while i was baying my ticket i noticed another gentleman come into the waitingroom my first thought was that it vm my shadow that i saw before me he was about ray height bad flight complexion like mine and eythgriitidy gray and one of them turned in just liko mine he had on a tall hat tipped on one side of his sandy locks and fionad i and further more be carried in his hand a small carpet bag marked j mcd tied to h is t straps bo did i i looked at him and he returned the oompument i i say- air said the stranger looking down at my oerpet bag that i held and ex amining tho tag are you john mcdolau or am i my name is mcdougal i hope you are an honest man for yon soe if you should happen to rob a bank forge a bote pick a pocket or cut some- bodys throat i might have to suffer per haps swing for u l cau cive you reference as to my char acter i auswered yen 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 beat travel together theres the train starting now goodbye mr mcdougal i with you success 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 towu with one tavern two churches and a poorhouse i had to leave the cars at t and then take a private convey ance to m five miles distant i could have goue by the stage but that only left x once a day at five oclock in the morning so when the cars stopped at t- i took my carpet bag aud 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 my shoulder youre a villain p sir i repeat it youre a villain i 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 the big oue putting great stress on the will certainly growled the corpulent gen tleman with a fierce smile come this way you racal said the tall one drawing me along with him now said the tall gentleman turning and confronting me ill introduce my self i am captain augustus boynton do you know us now well really 1 repliedwondering in my mind what in the world was coming really i dont know anything more about yon than what you have just told hush said the captain and he bent down and hissed in my ear i am carrie boyn tons brother and i am her father growled john boynton ah really do you say so i could not help smiling the whole affair se emed so ridiculotts give my regards to carrie ha you laugh at us do you you vil lain r 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 hia pocket a handsome case and opening it displayed a pair of splendid ailver- moauted dueling pistols take your choice a cold tremor now ran through my frame was i to be murdered 7 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 it co dealers in hides and tallow my father was norton mcdougal my mother was mary mcdougal my grandfather was confound your grandfather 1 either marry my bister as you promised to do a monqi ago or take one of these pistols and oh belpv- dry up you whelp i and the captain clapped his broad hand over my mouth choose quick youngster said the elder boynton i wont fight i cried then marry my sister or well drag you through the mulpqiud it was hoplefis ior me to remonstrate i could not convince the enraged father and son that i was not the villain mcdolan 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 jo consider life was sweet to me a ducking was disagreeable and as to the duel i should have been a dead man at the first shot choose- said the captain giving me a kick with jiis boot ill marry her all right and the captain smiled grimly as he re turned the pistol to its case the elder mr boynton went after the carriage bat before i had ceased to tremble he retnrned the captain helped me in and then seat ed between the chivalrio father and son i rode away there were plenty of people on the btreote but i was warned not to shout if i knew what was healthy for me we rode at a smart trot for about two miles i should think j and then the captain reined up in front of a large twratory white house standing near the road and surrounded by a high white fence there was a gravel walk up to the front door and several large cherry trees stood in the front yard here we are- said the captain getting down and n zoning 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 npon my heart the night of the lecture in w oh john i knew you would be true she cried aud the captain snickered as he led the way into the parlor but once there i succeeded in convincing miss boynton that i was not mcdolan 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 mcdolan for whom i hail been taken was a gentle man of wealth imd leisure and that he only had one fault which was promising to marry ever 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 shoes 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 mcdolan took the up train instead of the down laugh mother laugh mothers do not laugh enough the housekeeping is so onerous the children so 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 too much for the household to depend on us in addition to all our cares for social sunshine aswell yet the house hold does and it must father may be bright and cheery his laugh ring out bat if the mothers laugh falls even the fathers cheerfulness seems to lose some of its infec tion in the bad bnt forcible lines of joanna balllies dream her little child had caught the trick of grief and sighed 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 need to wish bo often that my mother would look cheerful then laugh mother even if yon 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 tching the expression of countenance which will go far to brighten or cloud some future home then laugh mother parlor nursery and kitchen all feel 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 mau as he entered the postoffice the other morning i can never get my letters on 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 ia probably what you expected said the man of letters with a selfsatisfied smile as he took the bill from the mans 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 dayb ago three days ago exclaimed the post master a little surprised- why your tailor said when he put it in that it was due three months ago it did not takfi 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 wise 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 no 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 but that which renders the grntert nnmber happy the talent of success is nothing more than doing what yoa can do well and doing whatever yoti do without

clergyman was recently annoyed by people talking and giggling he paused looked at the disturbers and said i am always afraid to expose those who misbe have for this reason some years since as i was preaching a young man who sat before me was constantly laughing talking and making uncouth grimaces i paused and administered a severe rebuke after the close of the bervice a gentleman said to me sir you have made a great mistake that young man whom yon 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 cnance irive your boys a pieceof land well ma nured let them grow what they please with the privilege
