' So,' said Autjt Jemima, severely eying her nephew, ' jou are going to marry a pewiiu yrl !' Felix Rockingham smiled. 1 T am going to marry' a youp lady Aunt Jemima,' said he ' who is sensible enough occasionally to tke out I lie insnffi- -cient means ol her family by a little honest and honorable work.' Aunt Jemimn f-hrngged her t-houlders. She was a tall, high-fealtitcd old woman with Scotch-red hair, prominent cheek bones, and eyes tliat glittered like cells of jetty light in their cavernous pockets. -And as she Fat there beside her big woik-bnslct, with a piece of uncompromising kuitling- work in her hands, Felix felt the old sen sation which had so often come over him as a thild of being summoned before some stern judicial tribunal. Aunt Jemima was the moneyed member of the family. It was she whose tastes were courdd ; she whoso-advice was solicited in every important iisis in the' Jlnckirig hani family ; aiul the old lu-dy could hard ly believe her own si ns 8 when she heard Unit her nephew, Felix, had actually dared to select a wife according to Ii i a own taste und fancy. , ' 1'mph !' commented Aunt Jemima. " And I suppose you will expect me to give you a wedding present?' ,' ' I hat is just as yiwr own judgment 01 il' liberality may dictate,' said Felix, with a .hidden spaikle of mischiif under his eye la.hcs. 'Uniph!' again u tered Aunt Jemima. 'B ing hi-r to see me to-night.' Amy Falklat.d was half frightetitd out of her pretty little wits when her lover told her that Aunt Jemima had desired lier preset ce. 'Ob, Felix,' shid she, coloring pink und white. 'I'm afmid !' 'When the queen issues her communav fluid Felix, luiighing, 'all the liege subjects must obey. And Annt Jemima is queen in our family,' 'Is she very terrible?' said Amy. 'As hard as a rock and as cold as an icicle,' replied Felix, gravely. 'Does she hate me?' 'By no means,' laughed Felix. 'She 011I7 .culled you a sewing-girl' 'Well, but that is exactly what I am,' said Amy, lifting her pretty eyebrows. 'Jf jliut is the worst she hue to say about Die, I think I can mdure it.' So tho bride-elect presented herself to AoDt Jemima, blushing, pretty, and con tused, that self-same evening. 'So you're going to marry my nephew ?' .said Aunt Jemima, almost in the words wherewith she had catechised Felix in the .rooming. j Yes,' confessed the pretty little culprit, scarcely daring to lift her eyes from the f round. 'And I suppose you expect lobe happy?' Yes. 'What fools people are !' said Aunt Je mima, in a general way. "Wt II, my dear, I've l) pearls and diamonds to give away, and if I l.ad you wouldn't know what to do with them. Here's tin old dress that Fv worn a few limes. Take that. You're handy with the needle, und you can easily fit it op to do a great many winters' ser vice.' Thank yon, Annt -Iimimn,' said Amy, with a pretty little curtsey. 'You nuy kiss ne, my denr,' said the old lady rt lentipg a little under the sun shine ol ti t: unit b ne eyes und timid voice. Ai d Aim put up hir cherry lips to the old spinster's thin and wrinkled, seamed face. ' I've given your brother llalbei t's hride elcct just Mich another dnsf,' said Miss .Jemima to In r nephe w. J dare sny sl-e expects a set of jewels, or a tvcklaec, oT some othir piece ol frivolity and nonpcnfo, liut she'll fii.d herself mistaken. I intend jto show 110 partiality to ny mphewp.' Amy Falkland took Iminti tho venernbi old garment, which gave i-ignH of long und hurd service, und viewed it with turnout eyes. ' Il is old,' said she, 'but there is a deul of wear in it yet.' ' I should say,' hi.y.iirded Felix, ' that it was only fit for iho rue-bag.'- ' Hut you are not o judge of such things,' suid Amy. Now, when I have ripped it tip, sewed it over again, und re-lined it, you will sea what a pretty and substantial garment 1 shall have.' Felix looked admiringly at her. ' I haven't tho least doubt," raid he, that yon will look pretty in any fhing you choree to wear ' Don't be a goose,' suid Amy. And she at down at once, with her scissors ond work-basket, for Miss Fulklund's Irouwau was by no imuns so extensive but thut she had time enough to .altet.d to these little details herself. But Miss Ilortentia Waldron, the bride elect of Mr. Ilulbert Rockingham, Felix elder brother, viewed the wedding gift of her husband's sunt with considerably less favor. Miss Waldron was 0 beauty and a belle, with un uncle in tlin navy, a futher who .dealt ex'eiiHvely in mining stocks and bm.ds, uid u French maid. And the ltiking!inni8 were all delighted und Said, What a great thing it was for I albert to marry into such a family.' Good gracious me!' suul Miss Wuldron, ej ing the undent dress through u gold eye glass ; 'what does the old eccentricity meun by sending me such a rug as that ?' And the mutmna, llie sisler, und the French nmid didn't find themselves pre pared with an answer. ' Theiese,' suid Miss Hortunsia, 'take thut old thing to Mrs. Levi's in S0I10. Shv wiil give you something for it, I (lure say, and I can lay it out in six-button gloves.' But'. 1 11 y dear,' remonstrated Mrs. Waldron, 'what will Ilulberl'g ; Annt Jcini'iiu think ?' ; What she pleases,' said Miss Ilortensin, with a toss of the head. "But yon needn't look so frightened', mamu she will never kjiowr- How should she?' ' I do hate such stinginess," said the sister. ' S ) do I,' said IT rtensia, with emphasis. And .Mti'insi'llu Theresc, whose motht r had been Aunt Jemima's humble Irtend anil t-eamstrcFs, und who was in that lady's secret service, cut nil) r,'t' the jacket,, tot to Rl is. Levi's, but back te its original donor.' She doo't want it, eh?' said Aunt Jemima. Ma'mseJIe. 'i'lierese ; shrugged her shoulders. ' Oh, well,' said ihe old lady, indifferently, 'just as she pleases.' Early the text morning, while Aunt Jemima was yet di inking her eofltc. in matutinal curlpapers, there came a knock at the door. It was Amy rulUmtm. flushed and lovely. Kh?' Quid Aunt Jemima ; ' whut'-s wnnt inir now ? ' - s ' It's the dress, please, .Miss llockingham, said Amy, breathlessly. "1 was ripping it up to put in a new lining, and there quilted into a square panel at the very back of the old browu silk lacing, I found a cheek for one thousand pounds !' Nons use!' sue! Aunt Jemima. 'Such tilings only hnppen in old legends.' 'But indeed it bus happened to me,' said Amy. 'And Felix and I agreed that the money didn't belong to us, and so I have brou'dit it back. Look!' Kiss .me, my dear," said Aunt Jemima, setting down her cup. You are wrong the money does belong to you. I put it there myself , with the express intention and desire thut you should fii d it. I put another one into the jieket that I gave the girl who is going to niurry Jfulbert. But she'll never get it now.' And Aunt Jemima chuckled.. '(.ih,' cried Amy, 'do you really mean to give us Felix and me all this money ? A thousand pouiids V And she opened her blue e es very wide. 'J do really meun it,' said Aunt Jemima, smiling down upon the fresh, peach-like face. Miss IJorterifsia Waldron was much chagrined when th: rumor of the thousand pounds checks that were hidden away in tlic two old dresses reached her ears.. 8he sent at once to Mrs. l-evi. but the dress, as might have been expected, was never re covered. 'At d I do 1m lit ve," find Mrs. llalhert Rotkiugham, 'that is lite reasru Annt Jemiinii makes such un absurd pet of Felix's rhinna-doll wire.

Little AW; Gazette TWO WOOERS. A young lady who was the recipient of attention from two young men equally eligible, in point of good looks, social positions and financial solidity, and enter taining similar feelings of friendship for both, wus in a quandary us to which to choose, hhould they "propose. A friend to whom she confided her difficulty suggestei) that she put both to some test to prove the strength of their uff-ction. She took ihe advice, and to the fiist who avowed -hie affections said : You tell me that you love me. How do I know that you are sincere ? What would you do to show your love !' 'Anything,' replied the ardent lover, who had a spice of romance in his disposition, 'anything, I would go to to the world's end for yon ; I wonld endure any suffering for you ; I would die for you if necessary. Such nrdent protestations brought the blushes to her cheeks and a thrill of hap piness to her heart as she thought that certainly no one could love her more fondly than he did. She asked, however, for a lit tle delay before giving him an answer to his suit. Meantime the. t tber proposed and she quistioned him in like manner to the first. 'Well,' said he TI! tell you wiiat I would do to show my love for you. If you marrj me you shall have good clothes to wear. I will sec that you are always the owner of a handsome seal skin sacque and thai your hats or bonnets are always in fashion, and I will be a failblul, loving husband to you.' But wouldu't you go to the world'a end for me, or die fur me, or any of that sort of thing, you know ? she asked, as she toyed with his coat buttons. ' dont want to go to the world's end,' he replied ; "I've got a nice, good paying business in Boston, and as for dying for you, I'd rather live with you.' 'Well,' said she, as visions of sealskin sacqtie, fashionable bonnets, etc., flashed before her mind. "I guissjou can speak to pa.' The practical wooer is ihe uiaii for the times. The word, " I'iedmont" comes from two Latin words signifying at the foot of the mountain. It is applied 10 several regions of the globe, whieh by situation ure cut it ltd lu the iiHcie.

'HIE DECENCIES OF LIVE. There are persons in the world who, in oider to screen themselves from the .charge of extravagance und ftftly, try to do it under the plea of decency. These persons will commit many acts which, if they had true ideas of decency, they would hesitate to perpetrate. We think the following are a few of the many practices that come under the name of not decent. It is not decent for a person to make a show above his or her means. . It Is not decent for a person to run in debt whp Jig does not intend to pay. It is uotffeceot for a pereon to be always talking ill of his neighbor. It is not decent to ascribe improper mo lives to every one we may come in contact with. It is not decent for one to appropriate another's pecuniary uieuns for his owd gratification. It is not decent for young people to show no respect to the aged. It is not decent to be praising yourself always. It is not decent to keep yourself as a show for others to look at. It is not decent in persons going lute to places of amusement to incommode others in ariuus ways. It is. not decent to spend your money in foolishness, when you have debts that ought to be paid. It is not decent to starve your tamily by spending your money for liquor. . It is not decent to cheat your neighbor because you have a liltle more knowledge than he is Possessed of.

A memorial window is to be dedieatod to Sir Walter It deigh in the abbey at Westminister, under whose shadow his ashes repose, 'thus adding,' the subscription circular says, 'a fresh iuk to the chain which closely unites Great Britain and her first born daughter.'

Wealth is the possession of tho fcw, but intellectual culture is happily within the reach of all in this favored land of schoeils and books. Wealth has opportun it ies to surround itself wish treasures of culture and art, but it will wish to call to the en joyment of these possessions those who can appreciate them. Wealth is at much great er loss for culture thun culture is for wealth. Wealth tvitlit at culture is a subject for daughter and derision. Culture without wealth even rommandi profound respect. Then let young people seef first, if they are ambitious to b! nig to goid society, and genuine intellectual culture.

It is the dread season for hurricanes. Tearing through the West Indies, they often strike the coast with scarcely a note ol warning, houses xre overthrown, sailboats blown from the water, and orange groves swept bure of leaves and fruit. Some of the old settlers say that they can detect the s'gns of the storms a day before it breaks upon them. 1 You feel it in the air before it comes,' says one. This is, howertr, a indefinite stgn. The devastation lining its track cer tainly proves that 'yon feel it after it coms.' One of these typhoons visits the count every year. The day may be bright and beautiful, and the flowers heavy with bees and humming birds. Shimmering mos quito hawks quiver in the air, and the scarlet cardinal twitters in the acacias. A cooling breeze plays through the leaves of the trees, and gently swings the unripe oranges. Clouds of gulls soar above the dark green mangrove bushes, and the sand bars, at low tide, are covered with pensive curlews and willets. The drowsy roar of the surf is heard, and the gentle swell of the orean is rippled with golderi sheen. Almost imperceptibly the wind dies away. Cries of terns and water birds fall upon tfeeear with painful distinctness. The mud liens in the marshes pipe an alarm. Not a blade of salt grass moves. The blue sky grows hazy, and the eastern horizon is miiky white. Fitful gusts begin to ripple the water and handle the green leaves. A lew moan ccm.es from the ocean. Smoky clouds roll into the sky from the southeast and a strong wind whitens the rnflljd wa ter. Every minute it increases in fury. An ominous yellow light tinges the atmos phere. The sun is gone, and great drops of rain are l.urled to the groan 1. Within (if teen minutes there is a gale, and soon the whole forcc of the hurricane is felt. Great eagles an J pelicans are swpt through-, the heavens utterly powerless. Sparrows and oilier small birds are lashed to death by leafless twigs, and the torn bodies of showy herons and wild turkeys lodge in the branches of the live oak and cypress trees. All living things disappear, Tull pines are twisted asunder. The lithe limbs of willows and oleanders snap like cow-whips. Lofty palmettos beud their heads to7 the ground, the great fans inside out, Jike the rhs of an umbrella. The force of the wind keeps the trees down until every green fan pops like a pistol shot, Tne leaves of the scraggy scrub are wiped out, and their steams whipped into little bushes. The tough saw palmetto is blown as Hut as a Northern wheat field, and the dead grass of the savannas is lushed into fine dust. Boards in the surf are struck by the wind and sent spinning hundreds of feet in the air. The sand dunes ore caught up bodily andsifted through the tops of pioe trees wiles uway. The foam of the sea is blown beneath the houses on the mainland, and comes op between tke -cracks of the floor like steam. . Woe to the owners of sailboats and boat houses. At L ike Vorth, the Cruiser, a heavy, round-bottomed sailboat, thirty two feet long, was picked 11K from l.er was, rigging and ail, and carried across the lake, a mile away, without touclinVthe water. A boat was torn from her moorings, lifted from the water, and dropped into-a salt niarsb eight hundred yards away. Inthc fall of 1S7G, the Ida Srmtn.a large sc.iooa- . V u 1 T I.N er running oeiwteu acw Smyrna uuu uueu soovilie was torn from her anchors and stranded on a marsh five hundred yards from the ship channel. The eoast-survey steamer, in a good I'.arb r sheltered by sand banks, threw out three a ehors and kept her wheJs workiUg'against thejvmd under a full bead of attain. She dragged her anchors several hundred yards, and barely escaped destruction. The hurrieauea last frem seven to eight hours even longer. During the lull rain fulls in torrents. The tide rises to a great height, carrying away wharves and boat house? and 11 ioding the country for miles. The ocean leaps the sandy barriers of the const, and floods the Indian and other salt water rivers, involving great damage. Af ter the storm ccnterboards and jibslaya are found in spruce pines, oleanders uie loaded with cordage, and deadeyes and peablocks drop from the loafless orange trees. Gar dens are distroyed, fences swept away and the tormented Floridiau Iims three inon hs' work ami no pay to pair damages. '; ton Tnui('i il.
