At least, this was the view of Mr. Sidney Van Dusen's plate glass windows, and as it appeared to Miss Clara Van Dusen, the beautiful and ac complished only daughter of tho house. The young lady herself had just descended to the parlors, having accomplished a most elegant and satisfactory toihtte, preparatory to the late dinner, at which a select company would be present by special invitation. The vran Dasen certain family being abroad, it could not be exactly a family affair. Miss Bertha Van Dusen's Clara's cousin and intimate friend was stopping with her while her friends were abroad and the two jnrls were in- Zn a few moments after 'Who? Why, Miss Van Dusen ! Clara, may I call you by that sweet name, the lovely and beloved daughter of Sydney Van Dusen.' 'iSo the world says; now listen : I was born abroad.' 'So I have been informed,' said the Colonel, whose cariosity was sli. htly aroused. 'My father and Mother lived noarly fourteen years in Europe. It was during their residence in England in London tli!t this story I am going to tell you hap pened. May I tell this, just as if it were a story, a romance ?' 'Yes, yes ! But why tell it at all; iAn it Lars to . aa fh ,my affection my love V - T)':.. f .1 'Wait !' cried Clara with a down ward droop of her long lashes. 'You are interested ia this story, if if you have the regard you pro fess for me. Now let me tell it in my own way. Take this chair fac ing me, Colonel I must see my audience.

But has not Colonel Insrersoil made love to all the eligible young ladies with rich papas, aud vet he is so conceited he cannot be snubbed short of a declaration and relusal. It you could only make him believe you were poor, ho would not trouble you long with his love-making.' 'Show the gentleman up, said Clara to the servant, who had re mained respectfully mute durin the brief and whispered colloquy of his vouna mistress and ner friend. A moment later Colonel Inger soil. elesraBtlv attired m lull uni form, his small proportions stretch til on the tiptoe ot lover-like ex pectation, and his shrewd, world looking face beaming with surface smiles, was ushered into the pres ence of Miss Van Dusen. He found her alone, standing, as if she expected him, in the centre of the room, exquisitely dressed; her dark hair tied back in long loose curls and fastened with a coral comb, while coral clasped the dimpled whitness of her throat and waists. The bright coal fire in the open "rate suffused the late daylight with a rosy color, and to Colonel Ingersoll's dazzled eyes it seemed a3 if his divinity floated to him on billows of pink. He advanced to her with both hands outstretched in a lover-like ecstacy of admira ti on. 'I was almost afraid of intruding on a family reunion,' he said after the preliminaries ot greeting were over; 'hut I felt that I must see you ciaitn 'Once upon a time,' began Clara, in a low and impressive voice, away across the waters, in the big city of London, there was a great high hos pital with white wall and iron gates, and inside were lonz halls or wards with rows and rows of small nar row beds, on which poor sick and dying people lay. Well, it was one cold winter's uay that a woman died there; she was thin and emaci ated, and oh, so wretched they had found her in tho poorest sec tion of ih-i city, and brought her ther; with a wretched, wan, sickly child clinging to her skirts, and she had lain and coughed on that narrow bed for lonr, weary weeks, and then died without a single look or word fer the miserable little child. When the bed was empty, and the mother gone to the potter's answered the Colonel, in a tremu lous voice. '.And the adopted child,' Clara bent forward for an answer. 'Was yourself ? Yes yes; I un derstand, dear Miss Miss Clara I mean; I sympathize d d dear me,' looking at his watch hurriedly. 'Your charming story has kept me a whole hour. 1 really must go at once; I hate to leave you looking so lovely, but important business engaged to dinner at the Leffing wells Ah, my dear Miss Clara, I must tear myself away, AurcvoirJ and the gallant Colonel pissed the tips of tho faia hand ; extended to him, and nearly fell over 'Harry WesterveU as he ; bowed himself cut. .1 .. Ha rry found Clara in hysterics on the hearth rug, while Birthawas shaking in convulsions of laughter abeve her; all the coherent words ho could obtain from either of them was the reiteration, 'Oh, it's too good litis too good!' until they grew mere composed when Ciara told him the story she had told the Colonel the story of her pretty black eyed waiting maid, Maria. 'That accounts for. his muttered thanksgiving as he passed by me,' said Harry; 'I heard him mutter 'deuced thankful;' so he jumped at the conclusion you intended.' 'I knew he would. Oh, Harry, he is so mercenary it must be a sore blow to him. I can almost find it in my heart to be sorry for him 'Can you, dearest?' whispered Harry, as Bertha discreetly with drew. 'Then dismiss him frem your thoughts here is something to help you to forget him,' and Har ry displayed a diamond solitiarc of marvelous dimensions and color.

Soon after the congregation assembled, and the minister began preaching to them in earnest fash ion, saying there was no virtue in them that every one of them would go to an enless perdition un less they repented. Just as he spoke the sentence, up spoke the parrot from his hiding place. 'All hands below. To say that 'all handswere star tle, would be a mild way of putting it. The peculiar voice and un known source had waited a moment , and then a shade or two paler,' he repeated the warning. 'All hands below ! again out eomawhere. The preacl er started from his pulpit am. looked anxiously around inquiring if anybody had spoken. 'J.11 hands below !' was the only reply, at which the entire panic stricken congregation got up, and a moment afteiivard they all bolted for the doors the preacher trying his best to get there first, and dur ing the time tho mischevious bird kept up his yelling. 'All h.nds below!' There was an old woman present w ho was lame, and could not get out as fast as the rest, and in a short time she was left entirely aloic. Just as she was about to hobble out, the parrot flew down, and aligtning on her shoulder, yel led ia her ear : 'All hands below !' 'No, no Mister Devil ! ' shrieked the old wo an, 'you don't mean me.

'Pudding end pies both answered the nurse;' 'plum pudding with big fat raisins ia it. and sweet, white sauce to eat on it, and lots of ap ples, and raisins and nuts, and toys to play with, and pretty little dolls, with pink cheeks and curly hair, and one real big wax one, with eyes that open and shut, and ' 'But the poor little hospital starveling had fainted from excess of happiness, and the nurse laid her on the little bed and pus a few spoonfulls of hospital soup between her lips, and then went awav to look after patients.

As vou arc all aware, our island was near Cas- co Day ; an awtul storm arose, and was so fierce that it drove all the ducks in the bay into a pond, covering about an acre, near my house.

'Wait, Colonel Ingersoil, until 1 tell you a story. You have often been pleased to compliment me on my skill as on improvisatore, but this is a story of real life. Let me ask you a question. Who does the world say I am ?'

The moon shone m bright and clear as day, and tho child grew light-headed as she thought of all the things the nurse had told her, and she made up her mind to go away and find tho big, fine home, with all its splendid things; so she slipped out of the bed very softly, and passed the white bcd3 and sleeping nurses, and opened one of tho great doors and the guard was so frightened at what ho thought was a small ghost that he ran away. Then the child went out on the ! wide street, and ran on and on, as her poor little feet could carry her, but she knew not where. 'That night there was a grand party at the residence of the Ameri can Consul, and it was past mid night before the last guest depar ted, and as the light fell on the great stone steps they saw a - child that looked like a spirit clinging to the railing, and the good Consul took her in, and his kind wife wa3 mother to her daring the long weeks of illnes3 that followed; when she became well again she found her self in a lovely room, all white and rose red, with a kind motherly face bending over her, and on a stand near, all the wax dolls she had raved about in her delirium.

I had at that time a corn barn full of corn ; on one side of the barn was an open window, and on the other side was a knot hole ; and during tho storm the wind blew so fierce that it blew every car of that corn right through the knot hole, and the hele being just the size of the cob only, the result was that it shelled every ear, leaving the corn in the barn, and the next morning I found my barn half full of shelled corn and not a single cob. I had a curiosity to know where the cobs had gene to. I had a cu riosity to know where the coba had gane to.
