The streets are hot and dusty.
The grass Is parched and dry,
Thesuinmersun isshluing
From out a cloudless sky;
No drop" of moister falleth
To quench the peony's thirst,
The gentle showers are .vanished
That onoe the lilies nursed ...
The giant oak ta waring
" Its arid leaves In air (
The elm trees and the apple ' -.
Are growing brown and bare;
. The buttercup and wild rose,
With anguish mute, complain,
"Our father Sun abides with us, ' -But
where is mother Rain?"
If o longer. leaps the river
In gladness to the sea;
' But in the muddy channel
It tickles sluggishly.
The brook along the meadow
Has ceased the song it sung,
The cattle nod no water
' ' To cool their parching tongue.
But see 1 among the hill-tops
The ebon clouds arise,
And soon their golden edges . ,
Sweep op ward to the skies.
The vivid lightning flashes,
The solemn thunders roar,
And from the heights above us
The drops in torrent pour.
The earth drinks In the blessing ;
The flowers all rejoice;
Again the river splashes ;
' The hrook has found its voice.
And downward through the tree-tops
Still fells the welcome rain
The burning drouth is over
With ail its heat and pain.
A SMALL IMPEDI
MENT.' What a be-e-utiful girl Miss Adteman
is!' ald Mrs. Smulley, as the individual al
nded to 'swept' out of the room, to use a
favoritpexnresslin of novelists in descri
bing their heroines, who are never expect
ed to speak or move like ordinary mortals;
though we are forced to acknowlede that,
"whiskey" in this cose, would have been
nearer the mark
As Mrs. Smalley said this, she glanced
across the- table to where her other hoard
er, Mr, John Saunders, was sitting, a quiet
reserv ed-looking man, hut who made no r'
ply," perhaps considering what was so em'
pbatically asserted to be too setf-evldeut to
need confirmation.
'She one among a thousand," chimed
In Mr. Smalley,
'Suoh a spa-eJeiMlid figure!" continued
the first speaker.
"And svich, magnificent hair,'' responded
her echo. ' ;.;' ': -
'.'All her own too," triumphantly asserted
Mrs.' Smalley, who having been with the
lady In question when it was bought, could
speak -by authority. ,
"Curious that she has never married,
isn't it, my dear?" said Mr. Smalley, fol
lowing the direction of his wife's eyes, who
now glanoed acrbsa. the table to see what
effect all this had cpoa the party, (or whose
benefit it was. designed,
- "Most extraordinary, and o many offers
as she has had, too But Miss- AUleman la
very .particular it's not every one that she
would take up with.'
"If Mr. Saunders was not pretty welt ac
quainted, by this time, with the charms
and perfections of Miss Adleman, It certain

who dinned them into his ears upon all oc
casions, and frequently where there was
none. . . '
Mrs. Smalley was a natural matchmaker
one of those women who are never so hap
py as when they have Induced some delu
ded individual to commit matrimony ; con
stantly sheming to bring those together, In
that most intimaU of all relations, whose
sympathies, tastes, and fee)ings,wers as op,
posite as the pole.
No sooner bad she set eyes on Mr. Saun
ders, and ascertained that he was a man of
means,than she was seized with the inward
conviction that he was destined to be
the , husband of 'her; dearest Matilda
Jane,' as she fondly ' termed. MIsa Adle

ThJ conviction was duly confided to the
Meareu Matilda Jane,'
aforesaid, together
with her solumn belief that thbr being
brought together was a sort of Provldencs,
as it were, which it wookl be a sin and a
shame to fly Into the face of.
To all which Matilda Jans very readily
agreed, not manifesting the slightest wish
toUy Into the face of Providence in regard
to saoh a pleasant, and to har, satisfactory
arrangement. V!r . ..r,- f -ry
, Thefactia, Mas Adleman was not so
young ashe had beea.and having been for
some time in the matrimonial market, her
value had proportionately decreased, so
that she was more inclined to regard Mr.
Sanders' appearances a Providential lute.
position in bee hebAtC
Mr. Sanders had been in Bangtown only
s few months, but he brought with him the
highest testimonials as to character and
business capacity., . ."''
He was exceedingly reticent in regard to
bis own affairs, but was believed to be with
out any near ties or klndred,M be never al
luded to any. ; '
Mrs, Smalley prided herself on her
natural acumen in relation to such mat
ters. ..." , ;.. ..;.u,
'He's a bachelor, you may depend she,
said, in one of her confidental talks with
Matilda Jane; 'a widower would never have
so many little fussy ways, and be so very
precise, trust me for that! And mind what
I tell you, you mustn't be too shy and off
ish with him; bachelors need more encour
agement than widowers.'; i
Miss Adleman was not slow in following
this advice. ' It certainly could not be said
of her that she was at all 'ahy or offish' with
the gentleman In question ; on the oontrary
sbs gave him all the encouragement "that
could be desired. . " , " .
But Mr. Saunders either did not under
stand, or Med to appreciate all the happi
ness in store for him, and whleh could be
his for the asking.
Mrs. Smalley that these two should be
constantly thrown together. . They bad
the same seat at the table,whlle In the par
lor Mr. Saunders rarely had an opportuni
ty to speak to any other lady. . "... ';' t.-'
; On all festive occasions picnics, excur
sions, &c.-he was invariably appropriated
by Miss Adleman, until he was finally
considered to be her especial property, and
U-eated accordingly. .
Mr. Saunders fell readily into all these
little arraagemonts was polite and atten
tive to her on all occasion ; talked, laugh
ed, and flirted with her; but in spite of all
the encouragement held out to him the
many proofs affbrdedhim that 'Barkis' was
more than 'willin',' be could not be lured
into committing himself. '
At last it was mutually agrcod by the
conspiring parties that "something mut b
done to bring bim to the point; and as Mrs.
Smalley fclt fully equal to the occaslonhe
was not long in concocting a scheme to that
.end.- , .
It was to be put into execution at the
earliest possible moment, this occurring at
the dinner table, on the day that our story
opens, " !
Miss" Adleman bad left the room, and
Mrs. Smalley followed, after having given
vent to her feelings of enthusiastic admi
ration, la the language above describ-
ed. ' :

This eloquent sentence had been ithel
joint product of the three, and it had been
the jUnt product of the three, and it had
been, conned over and rehearsed by the
speaker until he had caught the right em
phasis and expression, which would make
it irresistable. . ": , '
- But it did not seem to have the eipected
ef&Ct. -.i.:., ..!.-
'Miss Adleman Is very good,' was the cool
response. ....'.,,':;!, "!Z,'. J',,

'She may be' one amoug a million, for

cigar, i ' - -' . . '
- She'li make a wife of whioh any man

Saunders, his face brightening he caught
a glimpse of ths coach that was jost turning
the corner ; 'but unfortunately, or other-

'A small impediment T faltered his

At this moment, a loud shriek was heard
in the adjourning entry, 'at the door

This being rather warmer than was
agreeable, had the . desired effect bringing
the Interested patient out of Mr. Saunders'
arms to her feet. And, on perceiving that
the resolute-looking lady opposite her, was
about to repeat the precription, with a cry
louder than the first she broke away and
fled to her own room.
Nor did she again make her appearance,
until after Mr. Saunders' departure, taking

THE NEW SCHOLAR.
Oh! girls, what do you think?" said
Mary Martin, running all breathless Into
the school room, where four or five little
damsels were deliberately hanging up their
hoods, and storing their lunch-baskets safe
y away In their desks, until the noon

And then, for the first time, they noticed
that a strange child wai standing beside

old, in a brown calico dress, with bah' shin
gled close to her head, and a healthy, suu-
burned complexion.
'Children,' said Miss Allison, laying her
hand kindly on the young stranger's head.
'we have a new scholar here, named Patty
Price; and I hope you will all be kind to

Julia Snow.' I . , .
And Patty went shyly to the scat pointed
out to her, looking at the other little girls
under her long brown eyelashes.
But Julia turned up her pug-pose, and
whispered to Josio 'Lynn, who sat on the
other aide of her;
'It's the. fisherman's girl that lives dawn

Saturday came, and the party of little
girls assembled at the river steps on Mr.

the air soft and warm, the river smooth as

pink with wild roses and swamp honey

baskets of fruit, cake, and sand-wiches into
the end of the boat, and Dora's mother had
walked down to see the party start.

And the delight of the children was com
pleted, when they were Just landing on the
beautiful green shores of Weeks' Island, to
see Patty Price rowing by, all alone, in her
sober, unpalnted boat. , .

Jim, the gardner.

their shrill voices for. Jim, bnt Jim, on the
other side of the little Islet, was having a
noisy game of bllnd-mau's-buff with the

Illetory of I? loltoirta "Welle . i ' '
This noted robber was a native of Kent,
and, In (be character of a traveling mer.
chant, assisted his grandmother In support
ing two sisters after his parents were dead.
Leaving that employment he learned the
trade of a butcher. ; It was also his good
fortune to marry a woman with a hundred
and twenty pounds of portion. This might
have proved a competent stock for a butch
er, and he might have made a respectable
figure among his honest neighbors. But
Wells knew not how to husband so much
money. His wife and he were pretty com
fortable until the money was totally spout,
which was not, Indeed, long. Then he
showed, by his conduct, that he fiad court
ed her for.money, and not for love, aban
doned company for no honorable exchange.
Unable to pursue his own business, when
til his stock was exhausted, he was eon
strained to drive a cart to a woodmonger.
In this character one day he went to deliver
a cart of faggots to a gentleman, and, find
ing means to get iuto bis parlor, he stole a
gold wstcb, several diamonds, and two hun
dred and fitly guineas.' With this turn in
his possession he forgot to return to his
master. i.. ,1;' V-""
His next adventure was with the hand
some Fielding, riding over Putney Heath.
Wells knocked hlia off ils geldlnfcvtled bla
hands and his. feet, and. robbing him of
twenty guineas, burst fbrth Into the follow
ing exclamation; Ob, gold almighty, thou
ait good for the heart-siok at night, sore
eyes in the morning,- and for wind in the
stomach at noon. ' Indeed, thou art a never
failing remedy for 'any distemper, at any
time, in all cases, and for all constitutions.'
' Meanwhile, Fielding recovering . his
senses, quoth he : .:'rf .' y . V
'Sirrah, dost thou know on whom thou
hast committed this insolence V
'Not I, nor do I care, for it Is better you
cry than I starve T ' ' '"' ; ' '. '
'I'm General Fielding, wholl make you
dearly suffer for this, if ever you come into
my clutches. '
'Art thou bean Fielding? I've heard thy
fame and shame long ago. 1 1 think thou
art one of those amorous 'coxcombs ' who
never go without verses in praise of a mis
tress, aud write elegiee upon the mighty
misfortune of losing your buttons. Tbou
art one of those whlnulng puppies tint
waste day and night with her that you ad
mire, taking up her. gloves, aud. robbing
her of a handkerchief, which you'll pre
tend to keep for her sake.' lit fine, let me
tell you thou art translated out of a man
into a whmisey.' ' . .
Thus leaving bean Fielding, ho went
home to his landlord and landlady, who
were overjoyed at teeing hls. booty. Nor
was any member of this fraternity of vil-
jnlny w-ittiont a ptut ef the spoils of Wells,
