Just then a servant knocked at the door with a basket and a note. "An old lady in a Shaker bonnet and a one-horse wagon left it," said the girl, with a scarcely disguised titter. " She wouldn't come in, although I invited her." Mrs. Gates opened the note. It ran, in a stiff, old-fashioned caligraphy, as if the pen were an unwonted implement in the writer's hand : Dear Mill y The strawberries in the south medder lot are just ripe, where you used to pick 'era when you were a little gal; so Penelope picked. a lot, and we made bold to send them to you, lor the sate of old times, as Aunt Araminta is going to the city to-morrow.

Mr. Gates, from his side of the damask- ; draped table, eyed her with the complacent ' gaze of proprietorship. She was his wife. JIc liked her to look well, just as he wanted his horses pronerly groomed and his con M!rvatories kept in order; and he troubled himself very little about the shadows on her brow. "I'm in earnest, KadclifTe!" she said, with emphasis. " So I suppose, Mrs. Gates," said the hus band, leisurely folding his paper a sign that the news within was thoroughly ex hausted; "so 1 supposed. But it isn't at all worth while to allow yourself to get ex cited. "When I say a thing, Mrs. Gates, I generally mean it. And I repeat it, if you need money, for any sensible and necessary piirjtoHc I shall Ihj most willing and happy to accommodate you." MiMicent bit her full, red lower lip and drummed impatiently on the table with her ten restless fingers. " And I am to come meekly imploring you for ever five-cent piece I happen to want?" " Yes, Mrs. Gates, if you prefer to put the matter in that light." 'KadclifTe," she coaxed, suddenly chang ing her tone, " do give me an allowance I don't care how little!

You are rich."" voice as she walked along, lightly balancing the weight on her arm, and enjoying the impromptu masquerade as only a spirited woman can. ' Mrs. Prowler bought four quarts for pre serving at twenty-five cents per quart. " Wild berriea have such a flavor," said the old lady reflectively ; " and 'taint often you get 'em here in the city. I s'pose you don't come round reg'lar, young wo man ?" " No, I don't, ma'am." " Because you might get some good cus tomers," said Mrs. Prowler. Miss Seninthia Hall, who keeps boarders, purchased two quarts ; Mrs. Captain Car bary took one ; and then Millicent jumped on the cars and rode wearily down town. " I've got $1.75 of my own, at all events," said she to herself. " Strawberries ! Nice, ripe, wild straw berries ! buy my strawberries !" Her sweet voice resounded through the halls of the great marble building, on whose first floor the great bank was situ ated. It chanced to be a dull interval of busi ness just then, and the cashier looked up with a yawn. " I sav. Billy James," said he to the youngest clerk, " I have an idea that a few strawberries wouldn't go badly. Call in Edwin A. Stevens. They were among the pioneers of iron ship-building, and were certainly many years in advance of their cotemporaries in the design of vessels for fast sailing or steaming powers. In 1843 they proposed to build for the Government a shot-proof vessel, to be used for the defense of New York harbor, of the following dimensions : Length, 250 feet ; beam, 400 feet ; depth amidships, 28 feet ; number of boilers, 4 ; engines, accessory, 4 ; condensing, Z horse power, yUU; one pro peller and shafting; protection against shot, 4 1-2 inches of iron armor. The arma ment was to consist of seven sixty-four pounders, the heaviest then known. A con siderable amount of money and work was put upon the vessel, but in 1851 it was sud denly brought to a stand-still by the Gov ernment informing the engineers that, in view of the fact of great improvements hav ing taken place in ordnance, the vessel they were constructing would not be shot- proof, and unless they so constructed it, it would not be accepted. This decision of the Government stopped all work, but in 18o6 it was resumed and -the vessel re modeled upon the following plan : Length, 415 feet; beam, 48 feet; depth amidships, 32 feet 4 inches ; number of boilers, 10 ; engines, accessory, 9 ; condensing, 8 ; horse power, 8,624 ; two propellers and shafting ; protection against shot, 6 3-4 inches of iron armor. The armament was to consist of five 15-inch guns, weighing twenty-five tons each, and having the power to project shot of 425 pounds; also two 10-inch rifle guns. From time to time the Government made advances of sums which amounted in the aggregate to $500,000. When the war broke out the builders endeavored to hasten the work, and solicited a further advance o funds from .the Government, which ' was. lUcat ta tae PelaU A TremhLaaem Mi Sume two years or more ago there came I to this county, says a Mayrrille,KT, paper, Tae UtaEiriUt i7 U T luncit a Ir.
