Nannie. A Ntopy ill Hlilch tlio course of true love lid Kun Muiootli. 1 cannot set down in so many words just when or how it catne to bo under stood between my partner, John Still man, and myself, that I was to marry his daughter Nannie, when she was old enough. 1 haye an impression that she was iu long clothes at tho time we first talked of it. t difd sly tie girl, an.l old Mrs. Btilltnau took her home to the family at Owl's Corner, one of tho prettiest little villngos I ever bad the good fortunate to see. liut Niiiuiu was eighteen when I first met her a woman, and this was the scene of our meeting. John had sent for me to come to Owl's Comer on a certain July day, promising to drive out to the station and meet me, us my elJorl) legs eovor ed tho ground but slowly. We had re tired frum busiu-'SH, rich men both, some five years before, and correspond ed regularly. Rut I had been abroad, and this was my first visit to Owl's Corner in teu years. I remembered Nannie aa * romping child, fond of swiiging on the gates, climbing up giape arbors and importing hor neck fifty times a day, John always saying on such occasions : "She's a little wild, but she'll get over that.' 1 waited at tbe station for half an hour, then seeing no sign of John, 1 started to walk to the honse. It was midday and fearful hot, aud when 1 had accomplished but half the distance I turned off tho road and started through a grove that gave me a longei walk, but thiok shade. 1 was resting on a broad stone, completely hiddon by the bushes on every side, when I heard Johu's voice : "Where have you been V There was«nch dismay and astonish ment in tho voicu that 1 looked up in surprise, to find that he was not greet ing me, but a tail, slender girl coining toward him. Such a sight' Sho was dark and beautiful, dressed in a thin dress of rose pink, faultless about tho waist and throat, but from the wnist down cliugitig to her otio mass Jof tha greenest, blackest, thickest mud and water "ln the duck pond,' sho answered, with a voice as clear and musical as a chime of bells. 'Don't oonie noai me!' "Yon are enough to wear a man into his grave." "Thoro, don't scold,' was the coaxing reply, "little Bob Ryan fell in, face down. It did not make any uiatorial difference in bis costunc, but I was afraid be would smother, so I waded in after him. Tbe water is not over too foct Jeep, but the mud goes cloar through to China, I imagine. It is rather a pity about my new dress, isn't it ?" •A pity '' roaud J jhu, "you'll come to an untimely end soicc day with yom freaks. As if thoro was nobody to pick au Irish brat out o( the duck poud but you »■ 'There actually wax nobody ols« about. There, no#, don't be angry. I'll go up ti the houso and pat on tbat bewitching white ntlau that caino from New York las* week, and lie all ready to driye oyer to the station with you, at what time »' "About 8. Lawrence it coming on the 2:10.' And 1 had come on the f'J 10. This accounted fer the failure to meet me. 1 kept snug in my retroat nnt J. John and Nannie were well on thoir way home ward, wondering a little how uinny young ladies in uiy circle of, fmtifttoald have so *i»r.. If -■ * ' tss to pick up a beggar's brat G. t of the mud. When I, in my turn, ivached the house, John was on the porch waiting for Nannie's reappearance. He gavo mo a most cerdial welcome, ordering luncheon, called Nauoio fts mother, aud a man to go for my tr>ink, all in one breath, aud seemed rea.ly rejoiced to seo mo. Presently a slender girl with a truly "bewitching" white dress trimmed with dashes of scarlet rihbon, ana smoothly braided black hair, tied vith scarlet bows, came demurely into tho room, and was introduced. Nevar however, in that first hour. coulc. the_ ildest im nginatiou have picked Nani. o Btilluiau wading into a duck pond- But tho half-shy, l;alf-dignificd con , any man ner soon wore away, and Nc raie and I were fast friends beforo d.nner. She sang for me in a voice as delieiously Iresh as a bird's caiol, sho teak me to seo her pets, the new horse '-'..at was hor last birthday gift from "pap \" tho ug ly little Scotch terrier with t\e beauti ful brown eyes, tho rabbits Guinea, hen, and tho siperuunuated old ; ony, who bad preceded the new horse. In a week I was as lova as ever John tould has desired. Nannie was the most bewitching maiden I had I ever met, childliko aud yet womanly, | frank, bright and full of girlish freaks | and boyish mischief, and ye* well edu ! eaicd. with yeol'y Woi.dcjiA .vuio ! gifts iiud ttlll'of nobW! (fiof,yV*T yilie was a perfect idol in the vil'ago, her friends and neighbors thinking no party complete without hor, while tho poor fairly worshipped her. John allowed her an almost unlimit ed supply of pocket money, and she was lavish in all charity, trim blankets for old woman, tobacco for old iuen, to can dies for children, and i ides on her horse for the urchins. And she hai a way of conferriug favors that never wounded the pride of the most sensitive. We rodojtogothor every morning, we walked in the 000 l evening hours, wc spent much time at the piauo, and dis cussed our favorite authors, and one day, when 1 asked Nanuic to be nly wife,she said, ooolly : "Why, of course, I thought that was all understood long ago !' I was rather amazed at such matter- i of fact wooing, but delighted at the re sult. How could I expect any soft, blushing speeches ' 1 suppose 1 rank ed just wbere John and Nannio's grand mother did m her affections. But one morning when Mrs. Stillman was nipping her geraniums in the sitting room, and John was reading the morn ing newspapers, Nannie burst in, her beautiful face all aglow, her eyes bright with delight, orying: 'Oh, Grandma ! Walt has come home' I saw him from my window riding np tho road.' Sho was going then just is John ex claimed : 'Confound Walt!' ' 'Who u Walt?' 1 naturally inquir ed. 'Walter Bruce, the s"u of one of our neighbors. Ho has been like a brother to Nannie all Iter life, but went off to Kuropo two years ago, when ho came of age. They wanted to correspond, but I forbade that. So he has turned up again.' It was evident that John was terribly yexed, and I very soon shared his an noyance. Walt, a tall, handsome young fellow, improved, not spoiled by travel, just haunted the house. He was generally off with Nannie as soon as be arrived, and blind to Mrs. Stillman, bar conoealed coldness and John's saicastie speeches about boys aud puppies. As for me, by the time niy sleepy ~cycs wore opened in tho morning Nannie had taken a long ride with Walt, and was at the piano when 1 caino into the room, and Walt was walking beside Nannie whon the hour far our usual stroll arrived. And the very demon of mischief pos sessed the girl. Tbcto was no freak that she was nut inventing to iuiporil her life —riding, driving, boating—and 1 fairly shivered sometimes at the prospect of my nervous terrois when be my task to try to coutrol thin quicksil ver temperament. Put ono day when 1 was in the sum mer house, a very rueful little maiden, with a toar-stained face oaute to my side. 'Walt is going away " sbo said. 'lndeed V 'Yea, and ho says I'm a wioKnd flirt,' with » choking sot; 'I thought I would ask *ou about it." \ '.Vi» iui what !' 'Our getting married. You know pnpa told mo I was to marry you ages and ages ago V 'Yes.' 'And 1 knew ic was all right if he said sn. But Walt says you must be a muff if you want a wife who is all the time thinking ot somebody else. 'And you know I cau't help it. Walt has been my friend ever since we were little, and w. were always together.— And when ho wan in Europe papa I wouldn't let us write to each other, but I kissed bis picture overy night and morning, and wore his hair in a looket, and thought of h'ui all the time. And ha says you wou't like it after we are married.' {Well, not exactly,' I said, dryly. 'You'li have to stop thinking of liiiu then.' 'I don't believe I ever can. And so 1 thought I'd tell you, and perhaps 'l'erbaps you will tell papa we don't care about being married after all. 1 don't tbink I could ever bo sedate and grave like an old lady, and of course 1 ought to be if I am to be an old man's wite.' •Of course.' 'And I am so rude and horrid, I know I am not nice like city girls, and 1 am altogether hateful; but Walt don't oare.' L rather agieed with Walt as she stood in shy confusion before me, her I misty, her iwcot lips uuivor ing. U was a sore vA'ench 'to give har up, but I was not quite an idiot, and I said gravely • 'Hut your father V ' Vos, I know; he'll make a real storm; but then hit storms don't last long, aud maybe you have changed your mind. You have, haven't you V 'Yes ; the last half hour has quite changed my matrimonial views.' I could not help smiling, aud the next moment two arum encircled my neck, a warm kiss fell upon my cheek, aud Nan nie cried : 'You aro a perfect darling—a pcrfcot darling ; and I shall love you dearly all •my life.' So when 1 lost her love I gained it. She flitted away presently, aud I gave myself a good mental shaking up, and concluded my fool's paradiso would soon "have vanished if I had undertaken to I make au 'old lady' out of Nannie. John's wrath was loud and violent, lie exhausted all the viturporative lan guage in the dictionary, and then sit down panting but furious ' Come now,' 1 said what is the ob jection to young Bruce ' Is he poor'' 'No, eonfound him ! Ho inherits his grandfather's property, besides what his father will probably leave him. 'ls he immoral !' 'I never heard so.' 'What docs ail him, thon ?' 'Nothing ; but I have set my bend on Nannio's luarryiug you.' 'Well, you sec, she has set hor heart in another direction, and I strongly ob ject to a wife who is in love with some body else.' 'What on eatth brought the puppy home ?' 'Love for Nannie, I imagine, v'oine •lohn . you won't bo my fii!her-in-law, for 1 will not marry Nannie if you are ever so tyrannical ; but we can jog along as usual, the best of friends— look !' 'I pointed out of the window as 1 spoke. On the garden walk, shaded by a great oak tree, Walter Bruce stood, looking down at Nannie with love ligh ted eyes. Hor beautiful face, all dim pled with smiles and blushes, was lifted up to meet his gaze, and both her little hands were fast prisoned in his strong ones. John looked. Ilia face softened, bis eyes grew misty, and presently he said : llow happy sho is, Lawrence !' 'And we will not cloud ber happiness John,'l answered. This is right and fitting. Nannie is too bright a May flower to bo wilted by being tied up to an old December log like me.' So when, half fearful, tho lovers came iu, they met only words of affection, aud Nannie's fa;e lost nothing of its sun shine. She was the loveliest of brides a few uioutbs later, and wore tbe diamond pi pure I had ordered for my bride at her wedding. And she is the most charm ing little matron imaginable, with all ber odd freaks merged into a sunshiny cheer fulnefw, and her husband is a prond, happy man, while I am Uuble Lawrenoe to tbe jhildrcn, and tbe warm fricud to tho wbolu family. A Sucrennl'ul Scheme. Two darkies had to carry a large disk to the bouse of Dr. Blister, who bad bought it at the furniture store. When they arrived with the desk he was in and directed them where to put it. The darkios expeotod to get a quar ter apiece at least for their cx'.ro trou ble, but alas ! tho doctor did not give them anything at till, lie forgot all about their sufferings in carrying the heavy desk up twj Sights of stairs. They consulted together for a mo ment in tho ball, and then they began to fight and pound each other, calling each other all manner of vile names. No suoli uproar had been heard since tho adjournment of the Legislature. Dr. Blister, hearing tho noise, came out and wanted to know the causo of the disturbance. " Dis heah niggar kep' for hisself do mouey what you guv him for us bofc, fortotin'dc desk up de stairs," said Sam. "You is a liar. De doctor didn't gib me do money. You got do money and kep' it," retorted Jim. "You are both wrong, boys," said Dr. Blister. "I didn't givo either of youanythiug, but I'll make it all right. Don't fight any more," and taking out his pocket-book he gave them a quarter each.

' 'Ono day,' said the colonel, "1 stopped near a cab in and asked of au unconcerucd-looking man who sat on a fence : "How far is it from here to Jones' ferry 1" « 'How fur is what!" '«' The road.' "'What road?' " 'To Jones' ferry.' "Do you want to go thar V " 'Yos, or I wouldn't ask bow far it is.' " 'Didn't know but you was out sur veyin' the country.' "Ho leaned over the fence, spit at something on the ground, and, seem ingly, dismissed tnc subject from his mind. '"Come, wake up,' said I, but be maid no attention to me.

A few days since a Detroit wife called at the cilice of a prominct physician to consult him regarding her husband's state of health, and being invited to ex plain the points, she said . "Well, ho eats enough and lie doesn't shirk woik, but he doesn't seem to havo .illy ambition to go anywhere. He hasn't bocn to church for a year, won't even go to tho door of an evening wlion a brass band is playing, and be seems to have tallcn into a sort of lethargy and despondency. I think he will go crazy yet over his melancholy." The doctor agreed to look into his case in a day or two, aud when he finally called at the house he was met by the wltose countenance bctrayod per fect satisfaction. "Is there any change 1" queried tho physician. "Oh ! yes—a groat change !" she re plied. "A friend came along last night and gavo Obudiah a free ticket to tbe negro minstrels' and he was so anxious to go that ho hardly ato a mouthful of supper. 1 think the indications tiro cheering, doctor, perfectly cbooriog !"
