Shouliletin" b's camc-baj ho at once turned his steps toward t'.ie dusky br-' btr.por of honie couit'ort. Reaching a modest cottage he gave a brisk rnp at the door. It :is uiiswerod by a young gul. Dolling Ids cn(', the stranger said : "I am alone, and line I st my way anotig the moors. Cm you pivu n.o tho whcre-witlial to break my fast, and alter that a directing hint homeward f "Cone i. sir, said the fanner, who had fol'.one l Kichel to tho door. "You are welcome to what we have. Hat and drink fust, and then it will te time enough to think of leaving. Make huste, Rachel, and set a chair for tho youth and Lri;e hut porridge." As Rachel obeye.!, Liuis Pulton's eye followed her with a look of 0'i der lu;l.i:ig iti t!i:ir d-i.k but brilliant depths. was a yi.tir.g man who had but lately fallen heir t large estate, but in Holland and upon the continent. Ooe of these ws a fi e hunting-seat in Scotland, in which ho was spending the niiturau months; and shooting on which this day he had lost his way. Never io Ins wanderings over laed or Eea had his eyea rested nn ono bo bean tiful, ard like some blossom, which re mains folded in its calyx for years, and then burst at onco into gorgeous love compelling beauty, so did his heart open to receive into it Richel's image. And why did her heart Gutter so with pleasure when he accepted an invitation to remain until the morrow? For all that unwitting of the tnio at traction, Funnpr McAuley responded to the young man's cxprrssed desire to try his hand ct the bir.is upon the surro.rjd-inp- monrs lor a fevv days by acordi.il in vitation to him to remain us his guest. In his sturdy pride it never entered his mind tliat a child of his would think ol iil'tin,.' hor eyes to that dark Bttariner, though he tvc.ll l.kcd to lalk with him and listen to his stories cT ether lauds and climes. tvi it came upon I. in) like a shock, when, niter the strangei's stay had lengthened into wrcks. he sought him one monii:i and told him ilia real at traction. It was his pearl -his white lily it was Rachel. The old gentleman was greatly sur prised, and nnswered : "My daughter must marry id her own station when the time comes. She's over young yet to make her choice. You do us honor, sir, by your proposal ; but the time will come when you will thai.k mo for seeing the folly of such an unseemly union " "iVir, she shall bo cherished ns she de serves to bo, if you will only give her to me. Think aoain, I bg you, I love your daughter so trulv th it it cau but bo that sho returns it." ' Have yon spoken to Rachel your self, sir?" "It is tho custom of my race to speak fi si wiih tho father," and the young nun raised Lis head proudly. ' I have sought you first." "That is well. I should ill liko to have my i;irl unhappy. I wish you well, sir, and success iu ull else you under take." "The wish, without the gift I seek, will bo but little (food. You lake the spring out of my life, and then hope the machinery will work." There was a bille; rio to his voico rs he spoke, but I'uiicau McAuley was uo m lived.

The vow was taken and would bo kept. The strict old father himself would not have dared to ask her to break it. Several years passed, during which Louis was constantly changing his loca tion, as indeed it was necessary for hiin to do to give personul supervision to his various estates. Juing this period of unmitigated prosperity to tho wcultby landowner, Farmer McAuley bad gradually but sorely going down in the world. Still he had managed to get his rout money together. Tho pay day was rear, and the far mer had put the hard-earned money in a leathern wallet. "Well, wife," ho said with a sigh, "here's pay for tho last year. It's muin doubtC 1, though, where tho next will come from." ' Keep up, Ddticar," was her cheer f.d rinsAC". "U's nil for tho best, though one emrot always ken why." So he started away to the laird's country seat on hi- stout cob, without weapon of defence, for it was a peace ful c mutry and he had no fear of mo lestation. Rat his journey w an not half over, when in some Ldicly woods through which the road ran, nn escaped con vict sfiiZ.Ml his opportunity nnd struck him senseless from his hois", rill.:d his pockets, and, mounting, rode rapidly away with his plunder. About half an hour later Duncan was found by the gamekeeper of au adjoin ing estate, and taken nt ouue to the big house and cared for. The master was away, but tho house keeper was kir d and efiicient, and under her good ollijcs ho soon caiuo to co.i sciolism1 S3. O e blow had fallen upon his slietil di r, a' d it proved to be dislocated. There was no alternative but to re main, perhaps lor weeks. So tho good woman sent for Rachel to coitjo to her father, having by jaii cious questioning Icarr.cd that she was tho light of his oil eyes mxt to the good wife, who, of course, could not bo spared from the home duties. Rachel came, much to her father's delight. The day after tho young pro prietor arrived also. The housekeeper told him at onco of his strange guests, ni:d he hastened to assur e them of his cordial welcome. As he entered the room Riihel rose from beside her father's bedside, and after one surprised glance held out her hand, her eyes shiniu.; like twin stars. h was Louis iVdton. Mis pale face brightened with a sud den light as he went forward. Taking her two tender hands with his own, he turned to the old father. "Sec," ho said, gravely ; "it is the willofijod that yon should fjve nie Rachel for my very own. Her steps have been led to toy roof-trie by the hand of late. Sho is to mo the tno-.t precious treasure iu tho uhole vv.iiki. Will you not gi'C her to me?" Mailers went ou ahct.t the same at iho farm. The o'lil man looked up into the da'!:, ear nest faco. Its xpn ssioti of sincerity and kind liness could not be niisumler-itood, and in spite of himself lie iK-caife (or the first time conscious of his noblo manly beauty. Then, too, Rachel's vow rang through his ears, and he turned his eyes on hei face, which was like an April morninfj, first smiles and Ihen tears. At last ho reached out a tremhlidg hand and placed it upon Rachel's bright head. "Take her," he said, hoarsely. "It is God's will, and iho hiss loves you. I'm not sure if I would give her up, but the poor tairn ini.d.t soon be without a sheltering rool'-tne. Tho world's not gone well with mo of late, young man." "That is because yon slight Love, nnd the little tyrant is angry," said Louis, playing fully, ns ha turned and looked qneitimiiogly into Rachel's blushing luce. "Little one, is it true? Do you love me? Look up and tell mo." She tried to raise lu i' blue eyes to rr.e.'t hi , but their radiance was too pow erful.

C, THURSDAY, A SlisHitsg lloctor. Dr. Harris is out of town. His office, at the eud of a long hall, adjoins that of tho gorgeous apartment where ihe editor sits in lordly seclusion.

H.s face was a reddish-purple, his breathing was heavy, and altogether i.e was a pitiable locking- id.joct. The doctor was sent for post-haste, and mustard applied to bis feet and hards. When tho doctor crime, he felt hs pulse, and examined hiin, and finding that he was only drunk, he said : "11 j will be all lieht iu tho morn ing." Rut the v.ifo insisted that ho was very sick, and that severe remedies must be used. 'Yon must shave his head arid apply l:!:ster.s," she urged, "or 1 will send for some one who will." The husband's head wis accordingly shaved closely and blisters applied. The patient lay all uiht in a drunken slrep, and notwithstanding the blisters was eating into the flesh, it was not till near morning that he began to beat about, disttii bid by pain. About day light ho waked np to a most uncoml'ort able consci ms.iess uf blist. ling agonies "What does this mean?" h.: siid, pulling his hauuJ tu his LandieJ head.

It seems that the typo was requested to "liven up" a certain speech delivered at the Wcrkingmeti's State Convention, held in that town, with the .usual marks in parenthesis. The "jour," who was carrying a little more beer than was ne cessary, just then got hold of the wrong proceedings, causing the eloquent reso lution of Mr, Van Arman, referring to the death of a mnibr, to rend some thing like this: "Whereas, it phased D.vino Provid, ore to remove from our mid.t out- belo'-cd comrade, Anriah Miuk, (l.iuJ, applause,) w'ro has been cot i If .ii the fi...-i-r of his usefulae?

A Nerd That Puriiie Wufcr. In India, where it is often quite im possible to obtain pood water, there is a kind of provision of Providenco for the purifying of impure and muddy water, which is well worthy of notice Were it io America, it might bo called an "institution," so common is its use. It is a seed, which on being rubbed again and again on the side of the common earthen water-pots of the country, bag the power of the precipitating the earth and its impurities, leaving tbe water tolerably clear, and to a degrees suit able for use. Daring our itinerancy of two weeks we havo occaion to use the very repulsive looking tank-water of the country thus purified. At only one of our encampments havo we had well water, and then tho natives much pre ferred tho common surfaco or tank wider to this. Habit, usage and custom are almost otrmi otent in India, and many years most pass before Hiudoos will learn that the seed d ics not remove the poisouous taint that produces fever and c!i.'c:a. and dees nothing to des troy otrmal life that brings the very common and trooblesomo Guinea worm, so often making life almost or quite a burden. It is a source of satisfaction to us that this purified water is rendered harmless by boiling, and there is of course, a much more urgent reasin for tho use of "the cup that cheers but does not inebriate, than can be found where one his access to "iho old r-aken bucket" of former times ruid happy memory. B Uiiif rUloti (ho Host H'laltory. From the Ronton Commercial Cullolin. At about half-past eleven tho father took down his hat, brushed his coat, and settling himself into a steady Roston tneicb.nt shape, said to tho book keeper : "Mr. Doublcutry, I am Ef''ng to the custom-house, from thero I shall go to the Mnd'ri'va! Rank, then to tho Dryas dust Insurance Company, ftro there to tho Meichanls' Exchange, ami, after that, you may find mo in any insurance office on State street." The young man lihtcned to this in silence, but, as tho paternal footsteps died away on the stairs, he dropped off his stool and in his turu uddrcssod the book-keeper. "Doubleutry, old boy, I am going to I'artiiti's to get a drink and sumo lunch, from there. I shall go to tho club and play a game of billiards, then I shall como doivo to tho Tremont and get nn oiher drink, from there I shall go to I'arkei's for something to take and a smoke, niter that you can find ino io any hotel or resrnnrant about town."

Hardee, whoso manual of in fantry tactics was in vise i i all tho Southern arms, visited a rural Georgia town one day during tho war, and a commander of a "second-class militia c.unpaii)" sought to do himself and the General honor by parading his com mand in f,-r -nt of tho inn iu which 11 1 idee had rooms, The writer upon ladies came out upon tho balcony to review the command, and tho militia ollicer put his meu through their paces. In ono of the tho niarre ivers tho men became confnsod and got i&to a hope less tangle.
