Many years ago there lived in one of the loneliest towns of old Virginia a maid en whose uncommon beauty attracted to her scores , of "admirers. The father of this fair girl in Wb early youth was dis tinguished "for his athletic feats.. He wore upon his breast three medals which were the pledges of his victorious achievements. His daughter was now a blushing Hebe of eighteen years, b'eseig ed with lovers ; but the parental obedi ence which ber father demanded led her to defer all to his choice. Still, she had a peculiar favorite in Harry Carroll, Who was the most accomplished and in tellectual young man in all the country. But the old father of the maiden, posses sed of a perfect monomania upon the sub ject of leaping, suggested " the following singular manner of selecting a husband for his daughter from her numerous pro posals, viz. : He invited all the declared suitors who had avowed themselves lov ers of Amabel to meet at his house, and made to them this . announcement ; "Young men,", said he, "you have solic ited my child each - of you to become your bride. She is comely and pure. She will prove as fair a gem as she ap pears. I have money to give her but I don't care about money, nor talents, nor book knowledge, nor' military renown, but want her to marry a man of skill and strength.- I obtained the mother of the child by jumping for her. A party of my own age was assembled and my father-in-law avowed that the one who could leap the farthest sahll be the win er one the prize. My old woman lads was worth the effort. I was the successful man, and my daughter shall be obtained only in this manner. Here is the green sward, and here is Amabel the one that jumps the farthest on the dead level shall win the prize."; Amabel cluna closely 1 5 her father and looked upon her array of lovers with no uncom mon glance, Still her 'eyes rested on one more lovingly than the -rest, and that was Harry Carroll. A crowd of spectators wore present to witness the feate. The, loom and the qnilting frame were deserted, the child ren left their sports, the old men for sook their pipes, and gray-haired, spec tacled old dames forgot their spinning j wheels in the excitement of the hour. The avenue allotted for the contest was a level space in front of the village inn, directly in sight of Amabel's home. Ex ercises of a simillar kind were then much in vogue in the Old Dominion, and the green M as often used for such sports.

BAGKLQO Sketches, our large 16 page charming o- termine by actual measurement th precise length of each leap. , The signal was now given, and each young mai jn turn took hia place in the arena. ' ; "John Watkins," cried a bystander appointed to announce their names ; "John Watkins,fifteen "feet two inches." Watkins retired somewhat mortified at his ill success. "Edward Keyson, eighteen feet one Inch." ' - ' . . The merry shouts of applause here commenced. Many : prophesied that Edward had won the prize. Amabel, however, looked pale and dissatisfied. "James Ilaynes, nineteen feet precise- Dick replaced his coat very coolly, as : if not aware of the shouts which made j the air resound with acclamation of joy. 'Harry Pettes, nineteen feet." But he cared not to win the prize. - Amabel stood unmoved. Two other youug men refused to leap for the prize, and Harry Carroll was the last upon tho roll. He marched into the arena with a ' firm step. '' . " "Harry Carroll, twenty-three feet one 1 inch," wa$, announced and he took the prize I ; Amabel rushed into the arms ot her devoted lover, to whom of all others, she gave the special preference. Con gratulations were exchanged "the handsomest couple in old Virginia" was passed around "the best match in the country," cries" the - multitude when suddenly a young man of most prepos sessing appearance presented himself as a candidate for the prize. He had just alighted at the village inn, and hearing the shouts of victory came forward and inquired of Amabel's father if the ground was still open: for competition. The old man having leisurely surveyed the stran ger's features and looking at Amabel, who was resting in Harry's fond em brace, now looked wildly and wonder ingly at the scene. Harry wore a trou bled countenance, for he saw the stran ger was athletic and wore a lofty, manly air. "George Washingtonwenty-four feet," cried the man of measurement. He had fairly won the prize,but listen to his words : ' - - "My friends, 'I ant a stranger among you, and for mere sport I have tried my skill at jumping. The prize, which is adjudged to be mine, I relinquish to him who has a prior claim. Lovely though she be, yet her affections cannot be enkindled by a stranger. Harry Carroll, the prize is yours." So saying he left the arena, while a louder shout than ever rent the air. The stranger retired to theTiun, and the next day pursued his journey. Harry Carroll and Amabel were made one in the village church the next morn ing. Toasts were drank in honor of the stranger who so generously surrendered the prize, and the newly-married pair offered fervant prayer for his future prosperity. ; - . " " In the course of events many bohs and daughters were born of this happy fami ly, and Harry Carroll became distin guished in revolutionary memory. One evening, when Harry returned from a hard day's campaign, and was resting beneath the vine-clad" piazza of his beautiful country home, a stranger drove up, of commanding appearance and inquired "if he could be entertained there for the night?" Harry had just stepped into his summer house in search of Amabel, whom he found trimming a rose tree. She had now become dignifi ed and matronly ; her beauty was of an other type from girlhood, still it -was none the less captivating. She still glow ed with the rose of health upon her cheek and with a queenly air presided over the domestic hearthjher heart,too,was open ed to all generous impulses,and she step ped forward and bade the stranger welcome.- She then quietly withdrew, to superintend her own repRst, lea vine Har ry to entertain the man of such pleasing I exterior, who had become a stranger 1 guest. ; The meal was soon made ready, and We smile at the record of leaping to gain a prize ; but would not the encour agemeut of such athletic feats among the young men of our age do away with that sickly eflem biacy which rejects al manly, vigorous exercise which tends to develop the nobler faculties, and instead of growing dwarfed and made ijito, the proportions for a dandy, might we not admire the lofty and graceful carriage of men strong and brave, such as made the heroes of the last century, and wou tho hearts of maidens who were run in nature's noblest mold ? Halifax (Va.) Record. 'Never No More. The Girl Everybody Likes. She is not beautiful oh, no! nobody thinks of calling her that. . Not oue of a dozen can tel! whether htr eyes are1 black or blue. If you should ask them to describe her, they w'ould only say1 "She is just right," and there it would end. " She is a merry -hearted, fun-loving-bewitching maiden, without a spark of en vy or malice in her whole composition She enjoys herself and wants everybody else to do the same. She has always a kind word and a pleasant smile for the oldest man or woman ; in fact, I can think of nothing, she resembles mor than a snnbeam, which brightens every thing it comes in contact with. AQ pay her'marked attention, from rich Mr. Watta, who lives in a mansion on the hill, to negro Sam, the sweep. All look after her with an admiring eye, and say to themselves, "She is just the right sort of a girl," ;. The young men of the town vie with one another as to who shall show her the most attention,' but she never en courages them beyond being simply kind and jolly ; so no one can call her a flirt, no, indeed, the young men would deny such an assertion as quickly as she.- Girls wonderful to relate like her too, for she never delights in hurting their feelings or saying spiteful things behind their backs. She Is always will ing to join in their little plans and assist them in any way. , They go to her with, their love aflairs, and she manages adroitly to see Willie or Peter and drop a good word for Ida or Jennie, until their difficulties are all patched up, and everybody goes on smoothly again thanks $0 her. Old ladies Bay she is "delightful." The sly witch she knows how to manage them. She listens patiently to complaint of the rheumatism or neuralgia, and then sympathizes with them so heartily that they are half cured. But she cannot be always with 11a. A young man comes from a neighboring town by and by and marries her. Tbe villagers crowd around to tell him what a prize he has won, bat he seems to know it pretty well without any telling, to judge from his face. So she leaves us, and it is not long before we hear from that place. She is there the wo inau everybody likes. Not Lawyer Enough to Hurt, "When a young man," says General Scales, "I ran foi the Legislature in my native county. Atone of the precincts as I passed by a crowd, I noticed a luan one Sam Stewart whom I had known from childhood. Ho was engaged in earnest talk with the crowd, and as I passed I heard him say : "I am agin all lawyers, and though. I ITvu Parrnll TYrAiilvt at tha well-flnre&d. board.

It was George Wash ington ' " , The general stared ; he, too, had a faint remembrance of that face, for once seen it left an impress. And how, when the mutual recognitions were made manifest, they discoursed of what had befallen each in their journey, may - be imagined. Tbe general, though courte ous and polite in speech, uttered no re grets that he did not avail himself of the prizefor he had found another, without making a fatal leap. He was proud of her yirtues,and in due time Mrs. Car roll visited Washington, and was there "I walked boldly up to the crowd,and asked what engaged them so earnestly. Sam repeated bis language. I said :" "You fill me with amazement. I am as much surprised as if it came from my own father. You have known mo from an infant, have dandled me on your knee, and your wife has fed me out o' the same spoon with your eldest boy, who was my namesake.' You had just as well vote against that son." "He hesitated a moment, and then turned to the crowd, said ; "Gentlemen, them are facte; just as little A. 31. has said. . ne was allers an honest boy ; and I know he is not lawyer enough to hurt. .We can all go for him."

' He hadjust got bis oyster shop opened to the public the other day w'hen in came a man who asked : - "Got any raws ?" "Yes, sir." -: . V ' ' ;. ' "Serve 'em on the half-shell ?" ' "WeM" Extra lai-ge?" "We have some of the largest oysters I ever saw." The price was asked and given, and as it seemed to be perfectly satisfactory the man ordered a dozen, and added : "I've got a slight contraction of the muscle of the throat, and sometimes I choke. If anything happens to me run me to the door, where I can get the air and then rush for a drink of water." s. The caterer promised to observe the caution, but it was only when 'the 12ih and last oyster was taken in between two rows of toeth which stood out like ten-penny nails thatanything happened. Then the eater suddenly raised one leg his eyes bulged out and he began to skip around like a goat dodging a club. The choke had come. The caterer seized him by the arm and ushered to the rear end of the restaurant for a glass of wa ter. When he returned with it, half ex pecting to see the customer lying on the fl oor in the agonies of suffocation, no on was in sight. The man was not in the door nor at the doer, nor around the door. He was two blocks away,' and the 12th oyster had gone down . to keep the company of the other eleven. , . , Just exactly another such thing won't happen in that place. Some other man with a contracted throat may Btart in to play the game, but before he has eat en his second oyster he will be dispatch ed with a hickory club, and his body sent to some medical college to find where the loose spoke was. rA Considerate Husband. (Texas Siftings.) "Did your husband consider dat he was gwine ter die?" enquired an Austin colored parson of a recently bereaved widow of the same dusky complexion. "Did he consider dat he was gwine ter die ? Wal, I should "say he did. He was the most considerate husband I eb ber had. De night defore he passed away I was done worn out, I had been sitting up with him an' . watching , wuT bimformor'n a week, an' I just laid down side of him, an' I eed. Clem. Ise gwine ter try an' get a little nap, an' if yer think yuso gwine ter die, lust punch me, and would you believe it, dat man was so considerate dat he died without waking me up. He was de mos' consid erate man I eober aw in my life." t Knocked Out by Yale. A young man and a very pretty girl en tered a shoe store in Chicago recently. She was lately from a New England sea cost town which is noted for its institu tions of learning. Her cheeks had still the color peculiar to Eastern girls. The clerk advanced briskly and, with his sweetest smile, iuqulred her want?. She wanted a pair of high button boots, and having selected a pair to her liking, seated herself in a little place partition ed off for the purpose to try them on. Her escort stood at a little distance, look ing through the window into the street. The clerk was all attention. He sat down beside the girl, and proceeded to put on one of the boots. She looked a little astonished when he sat down be side her, and a moment later she utter ed n exclamation of such unmistakable ndignation that her escort sprang for ward, and, seizing the clerk by the col lar, kicked him clear across the roomjn to a case of rubber shoes, " which stood half empty. r, " "Take that, you scoundrel I " cried the exasperated student from Yale, toe sing a box of shoes on top of the clerk, "and see if yon can't wait on alady with, out insulting her." The clerk too much scared . to move, lay doubled up in the box, when the pro prietor came quickly forward. . "Call the patrol and have that man arrested," cried the clerk feebly, as he saw his employer approaching; "He W sanlted m ; he's a dangerous man." "Yes'retorted thesfudent, as he pil ed two more shoe boxes on the whim pering clerk, "call the patrol and have this garbage dumped into, some - vacant lot." --- -y I'i;:: "; The proprietor appologized to, the', young oouple, and assisting the humiliat- ed clerk out of the shoe box,, told him ' to put on hia hat and leave the store.
