In tho early September days, not many . autums ago, Mr!" and * Mrs Frosythe and their only 'child, Mr. Dwight. Frosythe, arrived in New York in one of the ocean steamers, having completed 'a two years tour through Europe, and after a day or 0 of social greeting with New 1 they 'betook them- selyes to their comfortable home in Boston, aud settled dawn--for lifo, Ne Forsythe was very rich and 0. yu Mrs Frosythe was very fat and e te a fearful stock of mis- chiefand wickedness, if left to vhem- selves for any length of, time.-- Having been idle for, some years the Forsythes had not departed from the rule. ' , ;For ten, years they had been fashioning a" matrimonial pie, which wag to.satisfy to perfection ' their festidious. tastes ; and now it was quite done well baked, crisp and tempting, and all ready for tue. final 'carding and dealing out, ; But let me say just here that My and Mrs Torsythe were not the only parties interested. There was another rpaiy of plot- ters who had from the begining an adtive fingerin this pie, and who was every whit as deep in the mud as Fovsyihes werein the mire. This pair owned an only child a daughter, who, like Dwight For- sythe, was heir expectant to a large fortune. . Te. years bofore, Mus Torsythe had sdid, while on a visit to her New York friend Mrs English. "T wil marry my daughter when le is 18.0; And Mrs English had replied, "L will rear my daughter for your son." "They must not meet or our plans will be frusterated. Young people are so perverse, * said Mrs, F. "You are right. We .will them in utter ignorance of each others existance until a becoming time." "Then they shallimeet"-- "Fall in lo "And marry "And our united fortanes will make them one of the richest and consequently onc of the most hon- ored and envied pairs in this coun- try." Mr. Torsythe hicd home and watched her son, and Mrs English kept eagle eyes upon her daughter, for the next ten years, At a proper time Dwight went to collage, graduated and was bundled ) And now, at the son to your » most convenient season Mrs For- sythe 'wus balancing the carvi knife in hand, ly for th stroke, which to be a master one "Fanny graduates next week, and Mrs, English brings her out at once. We must send Dwight to New York on some errand," said Mrs Forsythe to her lord one morning. "iVas) certainly! There Le is, com- ing up the steps. Now is your 1 chance! Dwight Forsythe was hardly a doll to be tossed about and hurried off at will, ag one could see at a glance. On the contrary Le was a big, muscular fellow, handsome as an Adonis and with a rolliking, ! devil-may-care face, that had not a| line of care or a sign of having ever been witheld from a single wish. No wonder that his anxions mamma trembled for the success of her scheme as she looked at him. No wonder that she flouted at. a certain portion ot one of Mrs English's letters which said : "Our Fannie has been so petted and admired, that we feel a const ant anxiety, lest we cannot bring our dearest wishes to a satisfactory conclusion. For this reason we have kept her at school, not daring to show her the world until she is really engaged. I sincerely hope that Dwight is amiable and agreea-- ble.' As thongh Fannie English or any other girl, would rot jump at the bareidea of getting our Dwight I' sai Mrs Forsythe. ¢My only fear is that Dwight will not "like her. Dear knows, I haven't' any idea what she is like I' 5 On the morning previously men- tioned, Dwight came into the parlor crying out, in his brusque style : ¢ It's deused dull here, mother !- By jove! I can't "settle down in Boston all at once. I say, father, hadn't I better take a run down to New York, and see how thiligs look. It didn't look well to Spier de- lighted, so papa Forsythe only jump- vl and dropped his meerschaum, and said : : "Isn't jt rather sudden 2 ¢ Well, rather. What do you say to it ?' ¢ Perhaps we had better let him go, mother." ¢ Yes, we cannot expect a boy like him to dance attendance upon us all the days of his like.' : ¢ How much money do you need ?' asked the old gentleman." ~ +¢ Oh, that's all right' t. ¢ Well, you may as 'well go pre pared for an emergency,' seid My: forsythe, with a knowing nod of' 8! head, at her husband. Arid Mr. Forsythe, knowing what it allmeant, drew his dhair over to the window, looked over the con- MAYOR MAKING rear I Te Tr 'lt were very fortunate that T should have so much money about me,' whereupon Mrs F. looked very hard at the grate, and thought that her husband was a born actor if there eyer was one. ~ Being thus liberally provisioned atterwards charged with advice, and several letters of introduction. among others one introducing him to "Mrs R A English, No. --, Madi- son Square," , Which were packed away without'a glance, Dwight took: his departure for new York ; and his scheming parents chatted over their negus that night, and believed them- selves too wmart for anything in this world, 'bat making good match- es tor refractory sons, He had been absent two days when a telegram was received. It ran thus : { $1 am married ! - Pont rave! we have been enguved two years and a halt, and [couldn't muster up the courage to tell you. Send for us or we will sail for Buprope to morrow. ' DwiaHz. "1 For an hour Mr. Forsythe trotted up aod down the room and swore.-- Then he called 'his wife and had the satistactionof seeing her carried up the ptairs in a state of insensibil= ity, and as there was nothing more to be done, he went out. to a tele- graph office, and the following flashed over the wire§ : "Sail und Le blowed. ; ; "DP.

They may make a breach of promise case out of it.' "Oh, Lord I' ¢ And if they should nat, it would only be just and honorable to offer an apology. We'll go whenever you are able' Lile all spasmodic people, Mrs. Forsythe was ready then and there; so that night found them steaming over the Sound. On arrival in New York, Mrs. ry, so that it was evening before they drew up before the spac- ious door of the English mansion -- | It was ominously dark dud silent, | and Mr. Fo feehly © | +1 do believe they're all away.' 'There's a light in the hall, sue- gested her husband, 'Yes, but it looks dull. and weak, as though something unpleasant had happened.' * Well, don't fret. the bell.

The crown prosecutor brought before the jury the case of Amos Arnold charged with forging the names of Geo. Lawton and James Lawton the former for $5 worth' of goods from A Gordon, Esq., Port Perry, and the latter for $10 cash, from W. 8, Sexton, Esq.

Mr Harrington sworn--Prisoner came to my houscand told me that he had done something wrong. He had forged Jas Lawton's name to an order on Mr Sexton ,-- 1 told prisoner he would be. punished. On the following morning I told Mr Sexton's clerk what prisoner told me, Mr. Grabam sworn--Prisonér wotked for me, He was a good working man."
