"Hut now 1 nut ipiite certain that I ought not to allow you to marry lue." It was hi'h noun, and .Miss Teuton's livision, the must juvenile of nil Madame 1 'in It's scholars, were auibolin.;, and shrieking, and jumping ropo wilJIy in the hadv L'arJens an I secluded lawns, while the slim, pink-ehceked young teacher en joyed a hrief interval of peace unJ ijuiet, so soon, alas ! to be cut short by ''The l uiversil Spollir" and "Primary Arithme tic. Hut there was an Hour, a blessed hour of intermission, and when George Wallace had inquired for Miss Fenton, the iitauaiue, vaguely remembering her own youthful days, had directed him to Recitation ltotnn No. !!, on the ground floor, where Mary was sitting ulune. "It wouldu't d i if it was the graduating class, nor yet Xo. Ii," reasoned the kind hearted instructress of youth. "But Miss Fenton's children are all at recess, and. no body is to know but that he's the piano tuner, or the agetit f ir the new style of slates. I 'ear me, we eun't be young but once, and it seeuis only ycstirday that IVoli was slipping uotes under the window sill where I taught French and (Jcriiian to Mrs. Blit ill's four stupid daughters." "Mary," said George Wallace, "I don't know what you mean. 1 came here to Jay to ask you to fin our wclJing dey ; anJ I don't ni :an to go away from here until it is lixiil. ' Mary turned away her fair head. '1'J like to know why ?" slurJiiy utter ed the young man, lixmg his eyes compos edly on her pale little face. "Couie here, George." Mary had risen, .and loying her hand lightly on his arm, conducted him to the back window, from which one obtained a view of the hack courts and servants buildings of the seminary. At the door a little crowd" of housemaids and waitresses had gathered around a gay gilded van, or square box on wheels, with a wooden seat perehi'd up on top, and a door at the back, which was at th.it moment belching forth calicoes, laces, frills and ribbons. On the side glittered the inscription: Trau'ling I'ry Goods Emporium. By A. Fenton." And a stout, middle-aged woman, iu a bonnet that looked like on in verted coal scuttle, was measuring off ging ham with brisk fingers. Po you see thai woman?" said Mary, in a low lone. 'Yes. I see her," answered George, much woiideringMliat ail this preamble could mean. "Well, that woman is my cousin my adopted mothei, who has paid lor lny- ed ucation, and has done cvervthing for me," announced Mary. Geor.v nettled his elbows critically on the sill, no I took a second and more leng thy suivev. "A nil v, pleasant face she has," said he. "I wouldn't mind lining her for a moth er w iaw iu the least. Or would i'. he I cou-iu-iti 1 law ? ' "George I" Well, I'oliy ?" Do bo in earnest." My darling, I never was nu.ro to in my life." But alio peJJIes calico 011J dry gooda I ihrouith the wintry. "Will, why shouldn't ahc?" Mary was silent a moment or two. The ..... . i i. tears sparkled into iht eyes, aim uur chocks boeutue as the Michigan rose that blossoiueJ on the wall below them. "We may ns well come to au under standing. George," said she, in a choked voice- "My. cmi-in, Asetialh, has brought uio up, and educated me, although, until this day, 1 never knew exactly where the funds came fron, and I am deeply grate ful to her, though I can't get quite recon til, c to the idea of the travelling dry .oods vans, and the K'lling of yards of muslin and roll? if tape from door to door. But hut I can't drag you down to my level! Here is your ling, George. Kiss me once more, anil we will say farewell " "Will we, though ?" said George Wal lace, who had straightened liiuls.-lf to his full height, and stood calmly looking her in the face. "I rather think I have some thing to say in the matter." "It will be of no use," sighed Mary. "I am determined to adhere to my resolution. There are plenty of girls in your own sta tion in life who will bo glad of your affec tion." "My own station in life, ch?" said George. "But how is a fellow to ascer tain what his own station in life is ?" Mary was silent, but there was a suspi cious quivering of her lips, it Jroop of her eyelashes that were more eloquent than uny wurJs. "Now I ciine to think of it," itilded Mr. Wallace, with imperturbable gravity and in a low voice, and looking at her in tently, "you have heard it. You mean to throw me over." "Heard what, George?" "The secret of my parentage !" ho ex claimed, in tones of sorrow and almost of despair. Mary was all animation now. "George!" she cried, "I don't know what on earth you are talking of!" , "You kn w what my father is doing?" he said, with deep feeling. Horrible visions of Slate prison, ot pen itentiary wards, flitted through Mary's brain. " Breaking stones," George added, mood ily, "on the publie highway. He is old. hut he has lost none of his ambition, and it had been my hope to have provide J home for him where you and I could soothe his declining years. Don't look w tcrrificc', dearest. He isn't a convict,' George went on, observing the pallid tint of Mary's cheek. "He only works like many another poor fellow tor money. 1 don't blame you, my dear, fur shrinkiug from such an alliance at that. Good bye." But beforcjie could turn away Mary- had flung hor arms around his neck, "George ! Jear George!" she pleaJeJ "don t siieak so cruelly ! Don t look at me with such reprouehful eyes ! As if trifling circumstance like that could alter my devotion to you ! I'll marry you to morrow if you say so. Only don't, don't misconstrue mc !" "Ami uiv father and your cousin Asc- nath will live with us?" "Your father most certainly "acquiesced Mary. "But cousin Asenath Fenton would not be satisfied to settle tl.wn any where, I am very certain. .She wouldi perhaps come to see us on .Sundays and holidays." "Agreed," said George, jubilantly. "To morrow, then, be it ! Our wedding day '.' "Oh, George, not to-morrow," shrieked Mary. "Yon said to morrow." "But that was only a figure of speech. I must get wedding dress made, you know; and dear, kind ma l.iln must have notice." 'To-morrow week, then ! Come !" "Geoige, how unreasonable you are. One month from to-morrow, that is the very soonest," declared Mary. "Well, then," reluctantly asscuted the bridegroom elcet,"eall iu your Cousin Fen ton. See! She's just locking up the van door, and getting leady to siart. I want this thing fully utiJir.-tooJ." So Cousin Asenath was promptly sum monej to take all in the council of war. She was a sensible, ruddy-faced womau, with plenty of common sense, uud a heart as giM.il as her complexion. "Br. aks stones, Joes he?" said she. "l'retly hard work for an elderly man, I should think.' "lie will do it," said George, with a giimaee. "Says he prefers it." "Every one to his likiug," observed Cousin Asenath. "I go my own way, and I'm willing that other folks should go theirs. But I uiusn't stay talking here if I expect tu get to Laketown he'ore dark II vou want uiv blessim;, my dear, H s yours. I'll be back in time for the wed ding, and I hoc the stone breaking gin llemau can make it convenient to attend too. "Oh, I'll answer for that," said George, radiantly. So Madame l'eoli was uotilied, the wed ding was put in hand, and Mary's trou. blvd countenance ouce ruoro assumed Us usual brightness. She looked a little tim idly at her father in law elect when be came down to the wedding, which was to take place in Mudsiue l'eoli's rca'plUM siiUm, niih all the joyful school girls for witnesses. " "This is niT fallier, Jury, said the bridegroom, tt nd. rly. "Ilowdoyoti do, father?" murmured Mary, and put up her rosy Ifps to he kiss ed. "A Very fine looking man," sighed Ma dame 1 Yuli. ' He reminds mc of the por traits of Marquis Lil'ayette." "But surely," whispered Mary, who had confided everything to the kind old school teacher, "his hands look very white and iiuisith fur one whose rrofession is the breaking of atom !" "P. rhaps he breaks them in gloves, suggested uiadame. When the young couple were married Mr. Wallace senoir advanced aud chi.si.ed a gi.ld necklace around the bride's throat a necklace from which depended a locket act with diamonds. Cousin Asenath starred. "But surely," hurst out Cousin Ase nath, "those are not imitation stones." The elder Mr. Wallace appeared a little surprised . "Why should thoy be imitation stones?" asked he. Cousin Asenath looked sheepish, "Oh, I don't know," said she; "but I thought I suiiposed that a man agen- luau, I mean who breaks stones for a living could scarcely ulturd a present of diamonds !" Breaks stones !" repeated Mr. Wul- lace. There seems to be a little misunder- standing here," said George, interfering, almiy. "My tlear father, recollect your self; you were breaking stones off a rock not two hours ago, with your pocket hum mer. My father is County Geologist for Staffordshire, Mrs. Fenton, as well as Pro fessor of Geology in Linwood College. He has been breaking stones ever since I can remember him." "George ! George !" cried tho aride, you have been deceiving me !" "Well, I'd like to know how," appealed George, with an injured manner. "I told you he was a stone breaker, and ho is a stone breaker. Is that deceit ?" "My Jear," said the elJer Wallace, com prehending the situation at one, "such n prizi as you are is worth a little manor. vering. AnJ I Jon't blame George." AnJ somehow Mary never regarded this bold stratagem of her lover's with very serious disaprobation. She was mar ried, she de 1 tred, to the best man in the world, and that was the matter of most importance, after all. A SENSATIOlTlN A HOTEL. ADVERTISEMENTS.

While the blizzald was tearing down Chestnut street at 1 1 o'clock yesterday morning a handsome Englishwoman, with blonde hai and large diamonds in hi rears, was sitting in tho breakfast-room of the GirarJ House sipping a cup of coffee. She was dressed in a charming morning-gown, tied loosely at the waist with n thick silken cord, and tassels that dangled when she walked. From underneath the gown. peeped two liny feet in putent-lonther slippers. Suddenly with a startled look the v oin iu be.-koned to the head w; i er. "Where is L son?" she asked excitejly. The waiter didn't know. The woman, getting up quickly from the table, ru-Jicd out to the hotel office, and in a tone of an guish and utter helplessness Ba'J to Clerk Levi : "Leon is lost." "Front !" shuutej the clerk, banging llie knob of the lig silver bell. A bellman poppeJ up at tho counter. "Go look for Leon; he is lost," said the clerk. Then he banged the bell again and hooted : "Front !" and another IkIIih.iii eame forward. "Go look for Leon; he is lust." The bellmen went searching through the corridors, in the smoking-room, reading- room, r.re, una cauic oacK slinking their beads, with long faces. The woman look ed almost distracted. Her bosom heaved eonvul-ivcly with suppressed emotion. "Front 1" yelled Clerk Livi. "Link in the kitchen." The bellman cattle back with a small poodle under his right arm. It had a blue ribbon round its neck and a hell dangling from it. The poodle was licking its chops The meeting was very aff.-cting. The wo man took the dog in her arms and hurry ing to the elevator said covulsively : "Oh ! L'on, Leon, how you frightened mc.

IMPROVED l'ERISCOPIC GLASSES, In the early spriug the shad fisheries of the Pamlico Sound are very remunerative. Perhaps no waters cau.be fuunJ in this country so prolific with fish of all sorts as are in tho Pamlico sound and its tributa ries lie To esticcially about Hyd.a county. Gill auJ Jutch nets are us.d.but not ex tensively. Angling is a mode of fishing in which the inhabitants indulgo more for sport than profit. However by this means the tables are supplied with cboieo edible fi.h. Those of the Albemarle aection are lar ger and the profits accruing therefrom are greater than elsewhere in the State. How much greater would be the profit di lived from this industry, were attention directed to eligible sites for ti-hcries on these shores of the Pamlico sound ?
