But pleasures are proverbially short lived. Scarcely Lad Mr. Leslie ojiened his book, or Mrs. i,esiie undone iicr crochet, when a knock was heard at the door, and a moment after, there entered a negro boy, woolly headed, black and covered in mud. lie stood for an instant holding his limp hat in his hand, and awkwatdly ''scraidng ma loot in re spectful salutation, then he said: "Kr Mis Letlie, er 51ist' llardaway aout me up yore ter tell yer, cb now er olease vou come tor his house riirht away.

Having thus satisfied her self as to the impregnability of her fortress, she returned to the sitting-room, seated herself in the low rocker, just vacated by Mrs. Leslie, Unik off her shoos and warmed her leet; enjoying the rock- ins-chair, and luxuriating in the heat as onlv n negro can. A she wit thus, her feet extended and her head thrown back, one could see that she was a woman of inagtiiGcent jihysiitie; and her bnt'ht black eyes and cxjiressiVc features, although those of a thorough negro, gave evidenco of much more than the usual intelligence ot her race. Mte still woro the cheeked huim sjiuu dress and white head handkerchief, which is fast Iieconnn'r a traditional costume; lor, . .... Aunt Cr iTy was conservative, and chin; t her oUl attoo .is mic lib! to Ii. r Ii riuer owners, with unshaken tiriunera despite the efforts made to jicrMtaJe lo r hotu In it h. If the truth had been told, there wum few people whom AHcj and Liny Leslie. lied belt r thau Aunt Creeey, and an evening with her ranked aunitig-t the desirable things in lift) to them. ' They, could not remember the time when she was not their warm Irieud; and this mutual nflW'tion had grown steadily through those days w hen she delimited at the same tiuio their taste for art aud oti.k thing, by baking cakes for them in wonderful shapes of snakes, birds, and fishes, up to these mere mature years when she was seldom too busy to go with tlieni t liiii'pieiin hunting, or to beguile a dull hour with a story. This last accom plishment was tho ono to be utilized to- mglit, and perhuiis something iu the nick cring firelight and wailing wind made Alien Leslie say : "Oh! Aunt Croeoy now tell us a real awful ghost story. id you ever see a ghost your own self Aunt t reecj ? The) individual thus addressed shook her hud nivsU'riousIt as if she might have personally encountered at least half a hundred denizens of tho supernatural world, but she mid decidedly : ''Taint bos' ter talk 'bout . haints, an' I sho aint twine tell no tales boat 'em dis jcro night; be bavin job chilltin fit te iuuip outen yer skioa ev y time doasvind bowl. oidca, B3cm Ink dts sudden son'in' fur yer ma done put mo in mind o' de s'liriacs we used have in de time o' da war. ell us about them," said Lucy ea gerly, "1 do dearly love to hear about the war." "Well I don't then," said Alice, '! can t bear to think ot inoiile being killed." "Hi ! " Aunt Crcecy asked. "Aint yer jess now axed mo ter tell bout hainta ? An 1 sliud Ink lor know el (ley aint mos'ly fokes whar has been killed or else didn' dio saterfiVd." "Pshaw I" rejilied Alice, proud of her iupcrior ehlighteiilnetit, ''of course I know there isn t really any such tlmig as a haint.' " Aunt Creeey bestowed upon her agiatu c of conteuipuous pity, but said quietly: "We'l yer eo 'long talkin big. Twont be de fust ono uvver 1 known tei brag, an den be ready ter run ef doy see cr ligbtniii hug in Me dark, bill, newer yer mind, some d se nights yer mmit see one, an' dat 'u'd be er nions'ous skeery way o' 'vinein' yer.

L wish you would, pleaded Lucy. Both girls used the endearing epithet nlvisedly, knowing, from liast experience that il this was resisted, tlie oracle was hojielcssly dumb. But Aunt Creeey was never so happy ns when relating her rem iniseences to this ajiprecintivo audience and she was, therefore, easily persuaded not to punish Alices heretical utterances concerning "habits" and war times by carrying out her threat oi lioddm through the evening. Mie accordingly 'bunked up the tire, drew her chair in front of it and looking into the glowiu; coals said reflectively : Nio tliingwdem davs lore le war menecd was tie onsettietiest turns wid tie white folks !

New Yoik Hpechd lolheClili'ilitn Tribune. I I lie ol, en rumored l.xngtry-t cdh.ir marriage, it is said, is likely to take soiiu .clinite shape when the Jersey beauty returns to this country. Before another year is over Mrs. Langtiy will be Mrs (lebliaid. This is now about certain. The two parties most interested have been within the last week or ten days, sendin ich other cable dispatches ot Hit v, one hundred and even two bundled wolds a lime. Mr. (icbhard lias been the most aclive in this exjiensive style of epistolary coininunieatiiins. Private letters from Kngland have re ntly been received in this city which iu a large jiart cxiilain the peculiar condition of affairs which prevents the immediate frurtilieation of tho hojiesof the fair Kit glish Women. The point of effective force is, in short, Mr. Langtry. Ho parti Iruiu his wile some three years ago or more, nud since that time has gone I way unimpeded, and so has she. M Langtry has bad no coininunications with lii in whatever the last year. Through friend he was aiiproai bed on the subj it divorce, as she did Hot dare to Uiak the d'oi'o.-itiou directly. Mr. Langtry said very coolly, '(. crtainly; let there he divorce, but 1 must be the jilaiutill It was explained to him that this would bo next to impossible to accomplish. His wife would never consent to act in the liositinn of defendant in such a suit, for sho would have to bear ull the odium. Then let her remain married till my death," said Mr. Langtry, "and," he added. "I am a pretty healthy man." Latterly, however, Mr. Langtry bus come to believe that perhaps they might better bo separated. A friend of hers has been worki tig the matter it in her behalf. When the friend said that he ought to consent to the di vorce being got against him in place of against her, he said he was not uverse to it. Ho would not oppose any action she ?!:ou!d bring if it wrr done dwently, The only question in his mind was where the suit should be brought. lie under stood that, in several American States, there were some reasons for divorce1 and jierhaps it would be better to bring the action there, and ho would not njipear. This, it is said, is the cause of the sudden cable correspondence between Mrs. lang try and Mr. (icbhard. lie is getting the information necessary iu the matter, and is furnished it by cable, so as to save delay. It is not unlikely that they will, after all, appeal to the law of England, where actu al divorce laws are easier than here. The new French law has been discussed nnd the law of Holland, too, of which Mr. Langtry is a resident. But even there it would need that tho wife go and remain some tune u she would be the one to bring tho case. Thus, they are in sore perplexity, and even now that Mr. Lan try s consent has been obtained, they seem to bo as far from the goal as ever, Tho reason for Mr. Lnngtry's consent is said to be that he, too, is desirous, of marrying, and that he is tirci of a single wrctehed- esn that offers nn couiprnintion. "lhietor, 1 came to see you about my younger brother. "What is tho matter witiVun?" "One ef his legs is shorter than tho other, and ho limps. Now what would you do in a case of that kind?"

A glance along tho first letters of these lines shows that this eloquent pootio trib ute to the Plumed Knight is an aorostic which reads "Vote for Cleveland; these lines are bosh!" MICIMCAL LATIX. A family in this city employ a doctor who is quite fond of using Laiin phrases iu his conversation, much to tho annoy ance of his patients who do not under stand him. but who arc desirous of follow ing bis instructions to tho letter. During a recent call ujion an ailing member of the family he left a table of diet which was to bo literally followed. When ho was goue the family deciphered it, nnd it was all jilaiu reading until they came to the end of the list.

They cultivate tho ground, armed, from head to foot, always ready to defend their portion of earth, from which, . with great difficulty, they derivo a meagre susten ance. They live on little and are content to thus live in this sort of native country which they have nccujiicd for centuries. "Do you like pi?" said the printer. "I dough!' answered tho baker.
