A-, pair of large dark eyes, into whose depths it was plain to see that love had pene- trated, illumined his face with a tender light, which made them very friendly eyes to look upon or look out of. Love is a wonder- ful and glorious transformer, The little god can make s even a plain handsome and fascinating. How much, more so, then, one that nature has richly endowed. 'Ah, father replied the young man',- after a short pause, 'you are a splendid talkist that fact is indisputable ; but, do" you know, I am half inclined to be lieve that you have -forgotten all about' how it feels to be in love. This is my first expefieuco, and, ' if it goes a trifle hard with'me, to call a fellow a fool doesn't mend matters.

A bright thought struck him, I'll dash out after her, and, if she has the grit I give her credit for, she'll enjoy the fun In.a. moment I struckout. The acknowledged champion, of tho season all stood back to " give them room and watch the chase. Misa Preston took the cue in a twinkling.

Without the slightest diminution of strength or fleetness Chauncey kept steadi ly on. For ten full minutes he continued. At the expiration of that time Miss Preston, tired and dizzy, waved her handkerchief as a flag of truce, and attempted to reach her friends. Chauncey, with a true lover's instincts, dis covered the state of the case, and gracefully throwing his arm around her waist, escorted her to a seat. i i 'Oh, I am so sorry !' panted the little lady. 'I did so long to win this ; but I am . no match for you in hold-out-ativeness.' 'Please! let me introduce my self replied her companion. 'Chauncey Belknap, at your service, j Now, who are you?

'Well, what if I could V and a mischievous smile chased away every sign of weeping. 'Oh, only I have loved you ever since the first moment I laid my eyes on your face, and determined to win you. if possible. I have money enough to fix things, I reckon, and I know, my dear little girl, I can make you happy. 'And 1 know joxi can, too. Will you tell your father about it ?' and Miss Charlotte Preston hid her head oh her lover's shoulder. . 'Yes, my darling; but you must accompany me. My wife must not be a shirk. We will go now.

Can a woman do this ? No! ' 'But, Althea,, you will never succeed in making people believe these things, or acknowledge it if they do. There may be a few strong-minded ones like you, who will join heart and hand with you in your attempts at re- form, but believe me, that the majority will say, 'What can she know about these things, with her servants to command, and her elegant home ? and you will fail in convincing these.' But I shall not fail V and here she sang a little rondo ot some Italian air; then when she had finished she struck an attitude, and i4 ft -stage voiqe, said &) not you fail to attend my lecture on Wednesday night.' and then dashed out of the room, as she had often done in one of these moods before. John Mai thers had discussed this subject so often with his af- fianced bride as to fully under- stand her. So the abrupt man- ner in which she left him gave him no uneasy feeling. f For the last month or two she had been busy in preparioe a lecture, which she was to deliver w I in a week from the time on which uv awwo wuiciDamuu iw 41 u . 1 this Althea ISarl, and. her posi- J in society would, for a cer- tainty, ensure her success.

The agent smiled him to a seat, and brought oat register of descriptions. He htLA flAVrftl farms ml' oh U. . ftnd ha w no dnnhk thafc he could 8it the would.be. purcha8er. The stranger' re- marked . 'What I want is a farm of Tve got it,' replied the dealer. HVe oVnt si hi hills o o if 'Here she is-here's afarm with exactly six hills on it? rAnd I'd like a lake near the center.' 'Here you are. Here's a farm with a lake exactly in the cen ter ; .' ' 'And I want a big natural cavern in one of the hills.' ' 'Here you are. There's a cave on this farm which can't be beat.' The stranger drew a long hreath; and went on : U x waDt a farm 0f three hun- dred acres, but one hundred acres maflt be marsh land.' 'Here she is was ihe reply. 'Just three hundred acres in the and jaat one hundred in marsh land.1 I i mu8t have a water fallt wen ty- six feet high on this farm,1 con tinued the stranger. 'Here you are. T(iis farm has a natural waterfall of twenty five feet and eleven inches. I don't suppose an inch, more or less, to a waterfall amounts to much.' 'Well, uo, but I want a wind mill on one of the hills.' That wa put up last year,' was the calm reply. - It was some time before the stranger thought of anything else, but finally said : There must be a Baptist church right across the road from the house.' J One built there last summer. fir.' fit must be a brick church.' So it is. 'Has it auurgaa?' 'It has.'1 Then I can't buy the farm ot you aid the stranger, rising to go.

A youttg lady in Southern Illinois, whose delicate little feet had crushed the blossoms of sorn sixteen summers, at last became weary of her floral life and resolved to learn the art of selling type. ' She applied for a situation, and . to the joy of the 'devil and dismay ' of the foreman, she war given a case. ' ' ' ' ! After many trials and tribula tions the respective, localities of the little square pens' were se curely housed in memory's cell. A short, reprint article was then given her with directions to 'set it solid.' She worked diligeo tly . until , the Item was finished, and then said: 'I've got the piece done, and this thing is full. -The foreman went to read and empty her stick, when he dis jcovered that she had failed to use any spaces notwithstanding, the box was empty , . 'Well, aid he, 'you hive ttt it solid, sui 9 enough see, the words all run together you must put a space oetweea ' the wordswhat have you done with them?1 placing his finger in the .empty box. 'Ah I to be sure ; those little short things I looked at - them seen tnere wasn't anyming stamped on the end, and suppos ed they couldn t be any account, so I threw them in the stove.' Two men, with spare time on their hands, seeing some arm : chairs in front of a furniture 8 tore on the Bhadjr side of the street, thought they would sit down a minute or- two, and smokel and talk up specie pay- . ments. So they sat down, and -the man who, was on the negative side carefully fixed his chair legs on two bars of grating orer which it stood,-and they begaft to talk very earnestly. Things went on all right till, getting ex cited, the man on the grating said : , 'I tell you, if ever ipecie pay- , ment is resumed there will be the greatest fair and then he gave his chair a hitch and it ssttled back as though its legs had sort of struck in, and it went back so far that he shot out over the left , side and bit his cigar in halves and skinned his elbow.' When he got up he had forgotten the thread of his narrative, and ob serving, too, the bland appearance of; the bystanders, he suddenly remembered that he had to dig some 'bait, and he went and dug it.
