DEVOTED TO VOL. 1. How I was Won. ' i I am the only daughter of Or ando u66,uo) v ivLM-i utaicuu dry-goods. My Father is a very prominent man in town, aim 1 am belle of the village. I think I have very good reasons for calling myself handsome, for not less than a score of young men of my acquaintance have assured me such j is the fact. I have no reason to doulit the words of these very amiable you'ng, men, for I think I should have been convinced of my beauty even if they had not. whispered it in my car. My father's hobby had been ' for several years to make a good match for me. Perhaps you know what al good match is ? It is simply to mar-f ry a rqan you positively hate a mas who is excessively ugly and disagreea ble in short, a fool because he is -.1 . . A. t : T wealthy, if he bas money, it makes nearu him'say that ifeatrice should That was the highest idea Of happi " ouuic ness. . Perhaps it is needless to say that .my father and I differed very much on this point. I think I had imbibed what the generality of people will call rather rnmautie notions. , (Jan vou believe it, that tho-belfe of Iizzleton, at the age of twentv-ti-o. imagined that thrn 4 F' i ' I w n sutu ft passioims love i long ed fr something more than-a poodle dog to lavish my affections upon., I know it is very unmaidenly for me to say this, but it is true. I liad plenty of lovers, to be sure: but -ugh ! Ppre- ferred the poodle to them. My hero wad not yet arrived. I knew he would come some time. Perhans he wnIH come iu a ragged coat ; but the coat doesn't make the man, you know althou"?h-it d 03$ make a gi-cat many of thfse things that call themselves men. , j ;:S Meanwhile s my falher .brousrht a lover to me a Mr. Catth-,-frnm Bos ton. He was doing d' large business there, and was considered wealthy. .'There's a lover worthy: of-you. Beatrice,' said my father," after Mr. Cattle had made his first cjdl. 'His riches can hardly be eountect' 'I am suro his age cannot,' I replied. 'He ia, certainly -twice as oldms I.' 'Well?' -I My father opened "his! eyes with asiou-hment. ; ' j 'Ho you mean to sat that you j wouta not marry ihim if you had the ! chance?' 'Yes, that's what I meam' 'Hess my soul !' cried my my father 'Perfectly.'. , . , Father looked incredulous. i 'You read too much poetry, child. You are a woman now, and it is high time mr you, to banish those senti mental ideas , lrom your'.siliy head. Such an opportunity a this does not come but once in a wofean's lifetime ' 'I should hope hot.' "" Father stamped his feet with rage and. looked unutterable things. I took up- Lallg, Rookti and began reading ujc r ii & vv orsnipers. 'Beatrice, do you wish ito bring my gray hairs in sorrow to tie grave V 'No; but I have to live with my husband through life, and J would much rather have one of my own choosing.' 'Yes, yes, my child; but I have -lived longer than you, and I think my judgment is better. I wish to see you happily married. I don't want you to marry some scoundrel without a cent in his pocket, and have you to wear your life out as his drudge. As the wife of Mr. Cattle you will lead a life of luxury and ease.' 'A life of misery ! . ' My father looked grieved, but said 1, t.t: iit i uo uore, ana soon after left the room fouch IS, the nerversitv nf fumafp human nature that I think if that, scounurel vvithout a cent had proposed just at that moment, I should have accepted him at once. I believe wo men are like the Irishman's pig. He wished to drive the pig to Dublin ; but he made him think he wished him to go in an opposite direction. Con sequently the pig was bound to Du plin, and to Dublin movent. Mr. Cattle never called ir!n T j think father put a flea in his ear, for saw plainly that I was not to be I unven into a union with a man I did j not likei.

Word was sent to the mayor, and in a few minutes the bells in Independence Hall and the various fire stations were rung, drawing crowds into the streets under the impression that a general alarm of fire was bein rung.

The New York Evangelist has a letter from a woman in New Enrrlanri pwrho lives amoner the monntftimi in n little cottage, with no living compan ion save a cat. And vet, savs the Evangelist, she is not a hater "of her kind either of mankind or of woman kind nor a rude, uncultivated person, but a lady of education, who is at- motive of ah intense love of natiiiv- and a desire for perfect independence. She has an acre of ground which she cultivate, with her own hands, plant ing peas and potatoes as well as flowers, and, in a word, making bel li v ing out of mother earth, whereby she secures to herself health, comfort, and above all. what is dearest tr hmr heart, independence. So enamored is she of this free, wild-woods life, which seems to her like camping out on the hillside, all alone with the mountains and stars, that she writes very persua sively to the pent-up dwellers in cities to follow in the same path of indepen dence. Here is a picture : 'There are no poor people here, I see,' remarked a friend who Was visit- f mg me not long ago. IIo was right ; though some who lived here might question it. For who is poor that can have plenty of work and good wages ? Xo person will ever need to suffer for life's necessities iu a place like this. How strange it is that the poor will hug cities, where they are sure to sufferifnot to starve, when in the country there is an abundant room aud a plentiful support for all, if they would but work for it!
