" I always knew she was one of the most intelligent girls I ever met," Mr. Wilding repeated, in a tone so difficult that his companion for once had suffi­ cient sense to refrain for demanding an explanation. The next morning, as Katie Brownrig turned the angle of the hall that led to her father's sanctum (whither a sense, of filial duty beckoned her) she almost ran into the arms of her three sisters, all con­ verging toward the same spot from dif­ ferent directions. Simultaneously they entered Mr. Brownrig's study. (He called it a library ; but that word is too often profaued for me to profane it, so I shall draw the line at study). But to re­ turn.

" If you will take my advice," said Mr. Wilding, making a last noble but futile effort to balance the ivory paper knife on the tip of his first finger, " you won't go to the Brownrigs' ball." " And why not," asked his companion irritably. "Well, I really wouldn't, you know," said Mr. Wilding, giving up his struggle with the impossible, and laying the re- ulafe you, my dear fellow.' i "Wilding," desperately, "can't you do | something ?

"I suppose I had better cut my throat last scrape. There are four Brownriu girls, aren't there? And they are all ; pretty?" " I don't see what that's got to do with ; it," said Snooks, sulkily. " There's safe- ; ty in a multitude. I can't marry 'em all, i ran I ?" ! "Happily, no! Though, if the laws «f your land did not forbid it, I am in- j dined to think you might try to accom- j plisli even that. Still, be advised, i Snooks, and be conspicuous by your ab­ sence at the Brownrigs' ' small and early.' Papa Brownrig, when incensed, is not nice, and yon know you are decidedly ; intimate with Miss Kate." "No, I am not," said Snooks with de- ' cision, " not a bit of it. Though I allow j she is a handsome girl, and lias,.lovely ; eyes. Hasn't she, now ?" "I don't know. As a rule I never i and put an end to it," said Snooks dis­ mally ; and then, overcome, no doubt, by the melancholy of this suggestion, he breaks down and gives way to tears. " I say, don't do that, you know," ex­ claimed Wilding indignantly. "Weep­ ing all over the place won't improve mat­ ters, and will make you look a worse fool than nature intended, when you go out of the room. If you have put your foot in it, at least try to bear misfortune like a man.

If you don't, you will propose to her, to a moral." One would think that I was a raw school-boy," said young Snooks wrath- fHlly. "Do you think 1 can't look at a woman without committing myself ? Do I look like a fool V" Whatever Mr. Wilding thought at that moment, he kept it to himself. Before he spoke next, lie and his conscience had agreed to dissemble. "My dear fellow, do not let us even hint at such a thing," he said amiably. "I only meant, you were slightly--very alightly--susceptible, and that Miss Kate has a certain amount of pleasing power, and that--I positively would give up this ball if I--" "Are you going?" broke in Snooks im­ patiently. "Well, yes, I dare say I shall look in about 12.' "Then I shall look in with you," said Snooks defiantly. "Fact is, the fellow wants to spoon her himself, and don't s<*e the force of being cut out," said he to himself complacently as he ran down the steps of Wilding's stairs. Beyond all question the Brownrigs' ball was a decided success. The rooms were filled to overflowing, the staircases were olioked, the keat was intorable. Sir Thomas and Lady Higgins had actually put in an appearance after all, and the supper, if uneatable, was, I as- * 'I'll follow anything, eagerly. What is it?" "You have proposed to Miss Katie," i solemnly. "Now go and propose to the i other three!" I As Wilding gave vent to his idea he I turned abruptly on his heel and left tho I room. "I'll do it," said Snooks valiantly, dry- i ing his eyes and giving his breast a I tragic tap, "whatever comes of it." j Going into the hall he saw Hetty stand­ ing near an entrance: a little M ay beyond her was Kate, conversing with a tall • and lanky youth. Not daring to glance I in the direction of the latter, who plain- i ly expected him to come straight to her j on the wings of love, he turned and asked Hetty to dance. They danced, and then (it was custom j with the ball goers in that mild suburban | neighborhood) he drew her out tinder the ! gleaming stars and up the dark avenue j that a few minutes since was tlie scene j of her sister's happiness. j There he proposed in due form, and I was again accepted. Hetty's conduct, ! indeed, was perhaps a degree more pro- ' nounced than Katie's, because she laid I her head upon his shoulder, and he felt ! by all the laws of sentiment bound to 1 ki*s her. Her nose looked lovely in the j pale moonlight ; so I dare say he did not I find the fulfilling of this law difficult. After that he had some more, a good more, cl.ammp.e; amiI tboi ho money had lieen spared : everything was what the mistress of the house called "rug regal;" and all the Miss Brownrigs looked as charming as any one could desire. There were four of them. There was Katie, the second^ daughter--Snook's friend, and the possessor of the lovely eves. And they were lovely; large, "and dark, and true, and tender," like the North, according to the Laureate; "black as sloes," said her fond if slightly op­ pressive mother, and of the languid, melting order. Then there" was Hetty, the eldest girl, who, if her eyes were not dark as midnight, had at least the dearest little nose in the world. A pure Greek feature, perfect in every respect, ignorant of colds in the head, that made one long to tell her (only she would have blushed, they were all nicely brought up) about Diuln, and her Phidian appendage. Then came Georgie--" George the Third," as she was playfully termed in the bosom of her family--who, if she had neither nose nor eyes like her sisters, had certainly a prettier mouth than either. A sweet little kissable rosebud of a mouth that pouted and laughed al­ ternately, and did considerable execu­ tion. And finally, there was Lilly. A tall, pule girl, witii blue eyes, a finely cut j awfidly horrid, you know. In fact," clun, and a great deal of determination warming to his work through sheer gra- all round. I titude, "you have made me miserable for- Katie's eyes were larger, darker, and ' ever; you've broken niv heart."

He I crossed the room and a-sked the youngest ! Miss Brownrig to dance. He was get- | ting rather mixed bv this time, and was i on the very point of asking her to marry ! him instead, so custoniarv had the ques- ; tion grown to Inm now. Miss Lily, ! however, declined to dance, on the plea ; that she was tired, and could exert her- j; self no more that night With question- 1 able taste he pressed the matter, and ; 1 icgged her to give him just one. At 1 this she told him frankly she did not ad- 1 mire his style of dancing, which, of [ course, ended the conservation. So he i \sked lier to come for a stroll instead, | and having arrived at the momentous ! ?pot, delivered himself of the ornate 1 jpeecli that had already done duty three ) times that night. I forgot what it was. ! but I know it wound up with the declara- | tion that he adored her and wanted to i many her. | "It's extremely good of yon, I'm sure," j said the youngest Miss Browning, calm- ' ly. "But, uncivil, as I fear it must j sound. I don't want to marry you." "Don't you, by Jove!" said Snook, ' hastily. "Well, that's awfully ki--No, j no!" pulling himself up with a start; "I \ don't mean that, vou know ; I mean it's I said she, in a tone replete with triumph, j It was so sweet to the mind of youth l to outdo its elders. But "on this occasion ! only" the eldeis refused to be outdone. : They each and all betrayed a smile of in- ' ward satisfaction, and then they gave way to speech. I "No!" they said in A breath. They; j did not mean to doubt or lie impolite they only meant surprise. j "The curate," said Hetty in a com- ! posed but plainly contemptuous whisper. | It was a stage whisper. | "Old Major Sterne," said Miss Georgie i promptly. ! "Perhaps Henry Simms," suggested : Katie, witli some sympathy. Then turn- | ing to her father she said,* with a con- j scious blush, "It is very strauge, papa, ! but I too had a proposal hist night." j "And so had I!" exclaimed Georgie ! and Hetty in a breath. * "Eh?" said papa, pushing up Ills spec­ tacles. He was fat and pudgy, with sandy hair and flabby nose. He was a powerful man, too, ancKone uupleasant to come to open quarrel w|th. Proposals in tho Brownrig family were few and far between--in fact, curiosities--and so much luck as the girls described falling into one day overpowered liim. "One at a time; my breath is not what it used to bo," he said addressing Katie. ( If he had said breadth, it would have been equally true, as*his mother-- if she was to lie 1 relieved--always de elared he was a lean baby). "May I ask the name of your lover ?" "Mr. Snooks," said she with downcast eyes and a timid smile. She took up the corner of a cherry-colored bow that | adorned her gown, and fell to admiring I it, through which she fondly thought was j bashfulnucss. I "Impossible!" exclaimed Georgie an- | grily. . "What a disgraceful untruth!" cried Hetty rudelv. "Mr. Snooks proposed to me, last night, and I accepted liim." "What Is it yon say ? Oh, I aiv going out of my mind; my senses are de­ serting me," said Georgie, putting hei hands to her head with a dramatic gesture. "Or is it a dream that he asked me to marry liim, and that I too said 'yes'?" "I seldom visit the clouds," said Lilly, with a short but bitter laugh. And I certainly , know he mad* me a a noble offer of his hand and heart; both which treasures I declined." " Where ?" demanded the other three, as though with one mouth. "In the laurel avenue !" At this they all groaned aloud. "Perfidious monster!" said Hetty from her heart. "Am I to understand," began Mr. Brownrig, with suppressed but evident fury, " that this--this-- unmitigated scouudrel asked you all to marry him last night ?" " If we speak the truth, yes," replied the girls dismally. " He was drunk," said papa, savagely. " I can't believe it," said Katie, who was dissolved in tears--in fact, ' like Niobe, all tears'--by this time. " Noth­ ing could be nicer than the way he did it. His language was so perfect, and so thoroughly from the--heart." " He addressed me in a most honor­ able, upright, and Christian fashion," said Hetty. " I am sure he meant every word he said." j She was thinking uneasily of that kiss j in the moonlight. Coidd anyone have seen her ? Was old Major Sterne any- I where aliout at the moment ? "I certainly considered his manner j strange, not a bit like what one reads," I said Georgie, honestly, "but I thought | of the title and the property, and I said ; yes directly." ; "I thought him the very greatest mufl i lever spoke to," broke iii Miss Lilly j with decision. I refused him without a ' moment's hesitation, and told him to go | home. I'm mu'e it was well I did. I | daresay if he had stayed here much i longer he would have proposed to mam- : ma next, and afterward to the upper ' housemaid. I agree with you, papa, tho 1 champagne WJIS too much for him." j "I--I think he is fond of me," said ; Kaiie, in a low and trembling tone. Her | fingers are not'playing with the cherry I colored bow now, but her eyelids have borrowed largely of its tint. "Don't be a goose, Katie," said the youngest Miss Brownrig, ldndly, but ' scornfully; "you don't suppose any of us ! would marry "hiin now, alter the way he j has beltaved? Do have some little i pride." j "Perhaps he is mad," said Hetty, j vaguely. Just at this moment, as a slave to her wounded vanity, she would 1 have been glad to believe ltiin so.- "No, my dear," declared Lily, calmly; ; "he has no brains worth turning. " ! "He said something to papa about calling to-day at 4 o'clock," said Katie, I very faintly. ! "Then I shall »it here till 4," returned | Mr. Brownrig in an awful tone. "I | shall set here until 5; and then I shall J get up, and go out and rind that young I man, and give liim such a horse whip­ ping as I warrant vou he never got be­ fore hi all his life. j "Don't be too hard on him, papa," | entreated Katie, weakly.

Y., has excited much hostile criticism by suing an estate for S50 for officiating at a funeral, and securing the amount. It turns out, however, that he had. pretty good grounds for his course. A rich man j died, and the family wanted the funeral ! to take place on Sunday, and also wanted I this particular minister to officiate. He gave up his appointments for the day to oblige the family, hired a carriage, and went. He waited sometime for renumer- | a tion, and at last sent a bill for $25, ' which was refused, and so for the bill and ' damages he sued for 850 and got it. The dead man never hired a pew in the church i nor paid for preaching, and the question ' naturally arises, Why are not ministers . entitled to pay for extra labor as well as other men? A MAN may work twelve hours a day for fifteen years on a morning newspaper without taking a vacation for the benefit of his health ; but should the same man ! get a position in one of the Government ' departments at Washington, where they < commence work at 9 o'clock a. m. * and < quit at 3 p. m., in less than a year ho | would be so "overworked" and worn out that he*would want a six weeks' holi- | day to recuperate.
