No expression of sailing astonish ment -was more often repeated to ns at St. Grundy's than one which intoned as it were the phrase : " Dear me ! so you hare never been abroad I" The sting of the gibe was in its truth. And it certainly was mortifying that every soul in the St. Orundy hierarchy, from the bishop down to the cathedral beadle, had traveled, or, at least, had made what they called an excursion. Neither papa the well-known CAnon Perkes, whose faint tenor voice once reminded Lady Backwater "of the angels singing in the choir "nor mam ma, nor my sister Charlotte, had ever prone, I suppose, twenty miles from St. Grundyls. The fact is that I, who relate this narrative, am the only one with anything like energy in the family. This is really signified in my name. Augusta, which might seem at the first blush to belong to a person of languid temperament, but which my quick, sharp ways long ago shortened into the more seiviceable Qua. Charlotte, al ways too dreamy, remained Charlotte : no one would have dreamed of cutting her down into Lotty or Char. Papa m mamma were, maeed, sadly -help-, less, he being too gentle, always look ing at .everybody through his glasses with a wistful benevolenoe that is quite provoking. Those glasses I really be lieve t be at the bottom of his tima- rous, retiring way, for the frame is so delicate that the classes seem to float before his eyes without palpable bud- porwmeir Daiance and structure are so frail, that half his life goes ia nervously tire service them in noaitinn. Canon Blowman (who takes the bass at St. Grundy's, aad rives out 44 The people that walk in darkness" some where down in the bowels of the earth) says um uus criucism ox mine snows a nice knowledge of human charao a IS A W .e m ter. is may do se, out tne I act re mains that the three are altogether teo nervous and shrinking "to get through life, and that I am the only one with a spars: ox energy. Above all. I wanted to travel. Above all, I was dying to see Curebath. At St. . Grundy's one might as well be buried in its old crypt for any chance mere was ox meetonir suitable people or, I have no false modesty in saying it, tne suitable person that every young girl of spirit and proper ambition de sires to meet. I am not one of those persons whose helolessness ia but an other name for selfishness, and who do not scruple being a burden and a charge on tneir families, huh a wonted on that one idea, trying;, as it were, to " educate my - party," as they say in politics, but it-was hopeless. A sort of terror of traveling weiarhed on my fami ly like a nightmare Mr. Perkes, I am sure, fancying that some box, or projec tion, would certainly dash against his perilously adjected glasses, which he would never be able to bring success fully across the water. At last I had begun to despair, when an event occurred wnien removed a chief difficulty. A maiden aunt shuffled off the mortal coil, though she kad been so leisurely in her attempts at extrica tion that -it seemed likely that she would remain in a state of permanent entanglement. Ttis worthy relative left me and Charlotte nfty pounds a piece. I resolved, before the will Was proved, that f hould be spent in foreign travel-every stiver of it, as Mr. Blow man was fond of saying. My plans were received with a sort of alarm, yet 1 could see that cariosity and interest had been awakened. I persevered, and had the pleasure of seem or that way was made. But there were appalling difficulties re- maining. They shrank from ths con- AiiuiB ui uaci, hjd uMguuuei - v., taking, paying oz duis, ana aisaussiou in foreiirn toil ernes, in which we were all. including mvself. utterly deficient. However, by some interference, this ob stacle was also to be removed in the happiest and most satisfactory wsy. Mr. Blowman had been in town to see a spinster cousin, who admired his under-ground voice vastly, and to whom he paid a visit regularly every naiz year. He alwivs came to us on his return to relate his adventures, which were of the most entertainincr kind. On this even ing he was more than usually excited. He was going away for his health. The doctor had ordered Curebath, and the 44 spinster," as I always called her, had behaved in the most liberal style. 44 She savs." continued Mr. Blowman, 44 that I must take care of my voice, and that she will take care of me. How I wish that we were all going to Curebath 1 The feebly organised members of the family looked at each other wistfully. In their hearla they wished they were going to Curebath. ' But my father thought ef the delicate balanoe of his classes, and shook his head, " .ne worry, he murmured, 44 and the hurry, C, SATXJEDAY, KOYEMBEB. 29, 1873. the paying the bills, and the) fuss at the) railway omoes I I never osuld rtt through it" xactlr my view." said lie.

In short, they are coupons. 44 Coupons, what are thev ?" We all looked at them with a mysterious curi osity, as though expecting they would cuMgs eouueuiy into precious metai or notes. i 44 You know." he continued. " I am methodical in my ways,' and the moment 1 heard oz the famous coupon system I hailed it aa being' made for me. In fact the whole of numan life ought to be transacted in coupons. It would save a world of trouble and anxiety. Ttn mmiA . 11 ! Jl you nave not explained. What is a coupon ? what do these thincs in your hand mean ?" 44 See here.

We were enormously interested. Was there not something piquant and en gaging ia in is ingenious su aversion OZ 11 m mm i r - - - 11 ; . sit ordinary zorms oz human arrange ment? There was. as he said, a beau tiful simplicity in the system ; and' iC was certainly the first successful at tempt at doing without the root of 'all evil, ihe vulgar element was elimina ted, and one could at last travel with out losing all sense of romance. How we wondered, as he explained how the director of the system, lived and di rected in town, wh( nee he dispatched. every day and every hour, crowds of travelers to the ends of the earth, far ms a in g each with nothing but his little book oz tracts. lie then unfolded sort of ltroad sheet or programme of ar rangements, in which, besides givintr miormauon, the founder chats agree ably with his patrons rather was he not their patron? tells them his proe- pecu, wnas no ia going to ao, and what he has done. .So there is the way it stands." said Mr. Blowman, rising, 44 and I am to be transported to Curebath by boat and rail, maintained there at the Golden stork a fortnight, and returned xto my friends, without any expense or treuble beyond offering a little slip of paper as I come or go." This revelation made a deep impres sion, 'ihe seed was sown, the dimcul ties vanished of themselves. The sys tem commended itself as something almost fascinating. Before the . next eveniag all was arranged, and though my father naturally felt some trepida tion as to the fate of his glasses, still the danger he felt was reduced almost to a minimum. We were to go with Mr. Blowman. r To carry out the principle in its most perfect style, Mr. Blowman declared that 44 not more than a few shillings in cash " were to be brought by the party, just to defray the chargea of cabs, por terage, and so forth. We should trust ourselves implicitly to our coupons. and, as we agreed, give the thing fair play. It should be the coupon, the whole coupon, snd nothing but' the coupon. ... , . in a day . or two the die was east, or rather a post-office order was dispatched to the coupon-founder, who by return of post promptly returned three stout little pamphlets, and one lor each oz smaller iitue tract, eaea having a por trait like an enlarged postage stamp, which was to be in common for the hotels. We set to work, cot on pack ing, and at last started, my father aliehtly tremulous about hie classes. But Mr. Blowman liberally guaranteed their safety. juveryiiiing vrasaeguuujamawprKea admirably. Coupon here, coupon there; up, down, everywhere, they were rraciously honored like aheques. It wjtft Ti ti i TPTXAi v agrecii uuks it wxs tne most charming way of traveling that could be. We that is, 1 and Mr. Blow man heartily - wished the principle could be introduced into all the trans actions of life. Dover. Ostend. Brus sels, si I were strictly coup"nlsed; then on to Cologne end the Rhine, where coupons were administered largely. The only drawback was that our small cash for cabs, porters, and so on, began to disappear with alarming rapidity. and we discovered with alarm that it would not hold out to, the end of our journey, f , We wers in rreat spirits, which we bestowed that is, I and Mr. Blowman liberally on a dry, elderly, wiry-haired Unton, one of the true type we all know. who' has the air of -taking his -bank abroad with him. That sort of com mercial superiority ia really unendur able, and we noticed that he . smiled contemptuously as the guard cams in and tore out our coupons. 44 You find all that sort ot thing an swer, I suppose," he said. Ms. Blowman answered hist readily. 44 It speaks for itself," he said; 44 it la I the one, the only system, and, depend Gazette. upon it, ws ahall aU have to coat to it, i whether w like is or no. 44 1 am fond of the old war.- uJJ Briton. at least till the new ones are j fairly esUblished," 44 That was what aU the social Toriaa said when steam came in.

What do yon say to that, air ? 44 It only seems tome that von have burned your boats, aa the saying b, and tnat you are determined to give the system its fullest trial. 8uch faith ought to move mountains." 44 There are always skeptics In every age," said Mr. Blowman, with spirit. 'This is an age of skepticism," 44 Not an age for putting all yeur eggs in one basket." On this we all set on' this stock-up Briton, and as Mr. Blowman said, hap pily, "couponed him with a wilL" I must, however, think he was tolerably good humored under our roasting. 44 Perhaps I am old-fashioned," he said, 4but, at all events, you cannot blame me for waiting. ' I ought to tell you that Curebath is full to overflowing now. 44 We are independent, sir" said Mr. Blowman, ,4and are provided for. The day passed over. Gradually our spirits began to flag a little, for we were growing tired. Papa and mamma both showed signs of weariness, and. I must say, pettishness ; mamma wishing that 44ahe was back at 8L GrundVa." Towards ten o'clock, we began to draw near to Curebath. The starched Briton was asleep. At last there we were I and the exiles of 8L Grundy's, aa Mr. Blewman amusingly called our party, found themselves set down in Cure bath, It was very bewildering the strange town the lights the foreign language the odd people ; and I own, for the first time, I felt my heart sink a little, and wished myself, as mamma did, again in St. Grundy's. Mr. Blowman, who had been appointed rather he had appointed himself director-in -chief and coupon-holder of the party seemed to exhibit signs of despondency, and was quite helpless and bewildered. A number of German porters were clam oring noisily round him, I suppose de manding payment for the loggage. lie was quite cowed, and came to ns to the cab door. 44 Give me some money for these fel lows," he said. 44 1 haven't a halfpenny left, not as much as I could jingle on a avm Kafei a rVUlaSkVUVa This poor jest he delivered with a ghastly smile. " iou anew I have none, Mr. Bow man," I answered, somewhat tartly. 44 Iou should have kept some for this occasion, , .. " " now could 1 7 he answi tartly. What am I to do with them Pane, in an airiUtx. . 44 Offer them ths coupons tl coupons they are received everywhere, yoa know." " tJtuH and nonsense, he answered. 'mr know nothing about cm. What are we to dor It was embarrassinr.and sH his fault Still it was the only thing to be done. They might accept them. . So he drew out a 44 breakfast with meat" coupon. and tendered it. It was received with a chatter and a howL Mamma- sugges ted, what oddlv enough proved to be the only sensible course, that we should bid them . accompany a a to the hotel. where the host would satisfy them. This was explained to them by signs, and seemed to be cordially aooepted with many a 44 ja I ja I" and Mr. Blow man assured them, in the same lan- that at the Golden Btork they ahould be handsomely remunerated. Strange to aay. Una was received with a chorus of rude laughter, and a roar of 44 item I hem r It was crow in r intol erable, In a moment of rage, and seeing that isiowman was of no more use than an old woman would be. I bade the coachman drive on quickly, which he aid, witn a loua crscx ox nis wmp. I felt that we were attended behind by our persecutors, but it was a release. Inside in the dark interior, Mr. Blow man and I fairly quarreled. I said he ought not to have taken upon himself the direction of the party, if he felt that he could Pot be equal to such a little diflculty ss that. He said that, if I hadn't interfered, all would have gone well. It was not a pleasant drive. We were now passing through dark streets ; every one seemed to be in bed. I wish ed again that I waa back in my own snug one st St. Grundy's. We had stopped in. a long, dark street, before a gloomy arch, with closed gates like a prison. " There was a gold stork over the door. 44 Here we sre," said I'and Mr. Blow man, uttering an undeniable truism at the same moment. . .The coachman got down and voiced some unintelligible sounds. 44 Tell him to ring the bell," I said. Mr. Blowman pointed to that mode of attracting attention, uttering vehe mently the words, 44 Bell, bell r He did not, or iron Id not, understand, Bing it yourrelf," I aaid, impatient-1 ing told her that he would call tne next " .l." ... .. t A 1 1 11I y. He was becoming more and stupid every in i tint, but he rot out. and did so. The man stamped im patiently, and poured eut a Wolley of gutturals. At ths same time the porter persecutors srrived, snd. crowding axfcnml the window, gesticulated violent - ly at the large gate, "as if they were threstening the golden stork. 44 They are touts far the clfaer hotels.' said Mr. Blowmjai, in his atspid way, NO. 20. aad infuriated that ws did not co with then.

'All the other hotels are full to bursting." 44 Bat we have our eospona, said Mr. lewmsn, in his idiotic wsy. 44 They are money cheques; they must take us H' 44 1 fear not," said he. .What was to be done?

We shall never travel, however, with Mr. Plowman again. A Xodel Farm, I have already mentioned the farm of Mr. Stillsod, soys a New York TWotm correspondent, writing from Oahkosh, Wis., which I visited the other day. Besides other land which he owns sad I Vale, he has in one pi K city WO acre. of ece adjoin- beautiful pwe land aa A ever eaw. pve land a l ever aaw. It elopes gradually toward Lake Winnebago, which ia visible from all parts of it,and, now that he has bliad-ditched the por tions where there sre depressions, there is not on the whole farm ten square yards ef waste land, Mr. StiHeoa drove me out into one field of 1C0 acres, just half a mile equere, opposite his bouse, a part of which bore a crop of hay this year, while the remainder of it had been in wheat. . It waa the finest field X ever Mr Still son raises about ltd acres of wheat a year, and has sent to market ia the last 23 or 24 years mors than 40,000 bushels of that grain alone. I think he aaid his averse crop in 23 years had been more than 22 bushels to ths sere. He keeps between 1,700 and 1,800 head of sheep, and has now in his barn 7.700 pounds of fine wool of this year's clip. It is not for sals until the pnoe is bet ter than it is now. He has about 150 bead of cattle and horses, and these, with his sheep and pigs, cofisume all the hay and coarse grain that the farm produces, His herd of short-homed atock ia a very promising ens, although now only a year or two old. His barns sre, I think, the largest and best in the entire West, and contain ample room to house about all the grain and hay that he raises, so that very little of it is stacked out. I am . told that when Mr. Slillson came here he was not rich, snd that his lands, to use a Western phrase, 44 were plastered all over" with 24 per cent, xoortgages.
