ONLY KATE-
Mr. Fairfield sat in ihespacious draw
ing room of the hiaverstone mansion,
patiently awaiting the young lady he
liad calied-io see.
He had met Miss Haverstone a few
months before at Saratoga, and as she
was a very stylish, and, at the same
lime, an agreeable young lady, he had
become unite intimate with her.
This was the first call he had ven
tured to make since his return to the
city, and he was wondering how she
would receive him. He did not send
his card to her, because he wished to
surprise her—pleasantly ns he hoped.
“Be sure and keep out of way,” he
heard a sharp voice say. “I should be
ashamed out of my wits if any one saw
you limping around !■”
There was no response to that in
junction, and, a moment later, Miss
Haverstone entered.
She was a tail queenly young girl,
who seemed boru to command, arid
yet there was a soft, bewildering light
in her brown black eyes.
“Miss Haverstone !” he said, rising
u p- . . ■, v' ; .
“Mr. Fairfield l” she exclaimed.—
“Is it possible that it is yon? I am so
happy to meet you once again !”
Their greeting over, they settled
down into a quiet little chat, and Mr.
Fairtield was very n uch surprised to
bud how swiftly lime had tied when
he arose to go.
She invited him to call again, and
he accepted her invitation, and called
frequently.
He was her escort to the opera, the
atre, Imlis, in fact, to every pla^e of
amusement. In that way several
mouths passed, and he was meditating
asking Miss Haverstone to accompa
ny him through life.
One evening he called rather earlier
than usual, and went into the music
room. Somebody was playing a quaint
little song and singing in a soft, sweet
voice. He had no doubt as to who
the somebody must be, so silently step
ped over to her side.
“Amelia,” lie said, gently.
The figure on the stool turned round
suddenly’.
“Pardon me, I am only Kate !” she
ejaculated.
“Pardon me,” he returned. “I have
made a mistaken 1 was quite sure tint
it was Miss Haverstone, as i was not
aware that shs had any lady visitors.”
Mr. Farfield is rich, and jday,” he said ; and Amelia gave a ht-
world. What more do 1 j tie pleasant start,
requ re i r ' i “Hid he propose pa ?”
“But he may require something else,” j “\es, but so differently to what 1

how you can he!p but love him ! 1
would worship him, sister.”
“Indeed ! Perhaps you have fallen
in love with him yourself. If you have,
I wish you could hear a lew of the re
marks he made about the ridiculous
way you limped out of the room that
night! I declare it served you right,
though, it you will persist in going
where you arc forbidden.”
“Hush, Amelia !” said another voice.
“How can you hurt Kale’s feelings in
such a cruel, uncalled-for manner ?—
See—she is crying. Poor child, she
has trouble enough, without you add
ing a grain more ; and to think how
t.ha r trouble came upon her ! Once for
all, Amelia, 1 tell vou, you must give
up going to 'hat bail. If you lake the
money for another dress, we cannot
have Kate doctored.”
“She can wait,” was the pettish re
sponse. “Mr. Fairfield will surely
soon propose, and then I will be off
your hands.”
Amelia, l am shocked !” was the re-
But Faiifieid waited to hear no more.
He had, m fact, already heard too
much for Miss Haverstpne’s future an-
I ttcipations.
“Saved !” he muttered. “This vis
it was a special plan of Providence !
j “Say nothing of my call,” he continued,
I addressing the servant—w hose ill con-
jcealed glee betrayed she knew what
was going on in there—and slipped a
note into her hand.
“You’re a gentleman,” she ejacu
lated ; “and 1’in glad yo’ve found dial
baggage out. She knocked Miss Kate
—the sweety, purty angel—down
stairs, when she was mad, and hurt
her hack. The mistress wants to take
her to Paris, to the doctors, hut t l, at
vixen won’t let then, until she’s mar
ried !”
“Which will never be,” he growled,
to himself, “if everybody thinks as I
do now.” He meditated. He made
up his mind at last. He was a bache
lor, he was rich, he had no relatives,
he was independent, and he would do
as he pleased !
He went over to Haverstone home
before Ins usual visiting hour.
“Tell Miss Kale 1 wish to see her,”
he said to the servant.
She laughed outright, she clapped
T am not a visitor,” she responded, j her hands, as she carried the message.
“Kate’s! Impossible! You’ve made
a mistake!” she ejaculated.
“None whatever. He wants io mar
ry her immediately, and lake her to
France.”
“And you knew it !” Amelia ex~
claimed, turning to her sister. “That
was who your visitor was last night,
you sly mil x! You’ve been lying to
me, you’ve ”
“Amelia, hush,,’ said her father,
sternly. “Last night a as only the sec
ond time he ever saw poor Kale. He
told me" the whole circumstance him
self. He called here to see you yes
terday morning, and overheard you
venting your rage on your mother and
sister. He was disgusted with you,
and equally charmed with Kale in pro
portion to the contrast between you.—
Piease take warning.”
She sprang from the table and ran
to her room, w here she had a violent
attack of hysterics. The prize she had
tried to win was lost.
Mrs- Haverstone gathered her lame
darling into her arms, and wept. She
was not afraid to tiust her tutare in
George Fairfield’s hands. He was loo
noble to be aught else than a kind hus
band.
Four weeks laier, “only K ile” was
married, and started for France.
A year later, she came home per
fectly restored to health and strength.
Amelia was still single, but she vouch
safed no word of welcome lo Mr.®. Fair-
field.

“Oil! a thousand pardons !”
He could say no more. He was
wondering why Miss Amelia Haver
stone had never spoken about this in
valid slsici. It could not fie that she
was indifferent to her. Amelia’s heart
was too tender for that !
“Amelia will be here in a few mo
ments, sir,” she added, as she look up j blushing,
her two little crulches and leaned heav

Belbre he could speak she had left
the room and he was alone.
Miss Haverstone entered. She apol
ogised for keeping him wailing so long
and scented all sweetness.
“I was not aware that you had a sis

served.
“No? Did I never mention her to
you ?” she queried. “I thought 1 had.
And vet, 1 feel so sad when 1 think ol
her affliction,that I hate lo allude to her
at all.” There was a wonderful pa
thos in her voice which touched him.
He had not misjudged Amelia—it was j
only the extreme sorrow which she felt J
that had kept her lips from speaking
ol Kate.
He often went to the house after
that, but he never esught a glimpse ot |
tiie little lame figure, whose mournful ;

to come in here ; but in vain.”
He had lo lie satisfied with that re
ply, though he felt a great curiosity to
see iier. He imagined, by the outline
of her lace which had been partly de
fined in the twilight, that she was pri l-
iy, of course, hut not so pretty as
Amelia.
The next morning he called again.
He had some ne.w opera tickets, and
he would just stop in a moment on his
way down town.
“You need not announce me,” he
saitl to the servant. “I hear voices in
the breakfast-room, and I will go there
and surprise them.”
The servant gave a mysterious smile
apd muttered :
“Much good your surprise will do
if Miss Amelia is ranlin as usual.”
He did not notice her ominous words
hut kept on “the even tenor of his
ways.”
He put his hand on the door-knob,
and then he hesitated. He did noi
wish to enact the role of a listener, but
he had caught jhe mention of bis own
name, and he had a little pardonable
curiosity.
“D%you love Mr. Fairfield:” he
heard a soft voice ask.
“I’m giaddhe witch asked that ques
tion for me,” he muttered to himself,
as die waited impatiently for his Ame
lia’s reply.
“Love !” she sneered. “W T ho has

Miss Kate was dear to her heart.
“To see her,” Am-lia ejaculated.—
“Who can it be ? Be sure and set
out of the parlor before Fairfield
comes!”
With that injunction ringing in her
ears, she went into the parlor. Mr.
Fairfield arose to meet her.

j beauty dwindled by the comparison he
made. This little creature, with her
I abundance of soft, golden hair, and
blue eves, anti wistful face, was tar
more beautiful than Amelia Haver
stone had ever been.
“Yes, Miss Kate.”
“Did you ask lor me !”
‘ 1 did. Sit down here beside me.
I have something to say to you.”
She obeyed him, silently. She was
trembling with mortification. This
man had ridiculed her on account of
her misfortune, she believed, and now
siie was doomed to sit beside him.
“1 know why you shrink from me,”
he said, softly. Very unintentionally,
I overheard a little of your family con
versation, tiffs morning; and was hap
py to have your sister’s true character
revealed lo' me.”
“Mr. F:fi fit Id,” she ejaculated, “im

“But not impossible—a blessed ie-

She locked up frankly into his face.
Iiow should she know ? She had never
been out in society with Mr. Fairfield,
and knew nothing ol his preferences.
“Shall I tell you ?”
“If you please.”
“Yourself.
She caught her hand quickly from
him, and tears sprang into her e>es.
“This is loo cruel a jest, she cried.
‘It rnv affliction has. made me appear
ridiculous in your eyes, you need not
mock me.”
“You misunderstand me.” he said,
gently. “I mean what I say. 1 love
you loo dearly to mock you. I want
lo marry you, and take you to Europe
with me, and get you cured there.”
She hid her face and wept; not tears
of sorrow, but rather of joy. The great
good gift of life, which she had covet
ed, had come to her at last.
“Do your tears mean yes” he asked ;
and, though he received no response,
he was satisfied.
He left h r. She went to her own
room, and lie went home. Miss Amel
ia waited that evening in vain lor Mr.
Fairfield, and woiulerod what could
have detained hirn.
He did not call the next morn ng.
and she was feverishly impatient. But
Mr. Haverstone, when he returned
home to dine, was all radient with
smile,

CURIOUS MODE OF CATCHING
FISH.
Overtaken by night, when traveling
through the Jura mountains in France
many yours ago, we stopped for supper
and a night’s lodgings at a small way-
side inn of rather dilapidated appear
ance, under some apprehension as to
how we should tare there ; but the
cordial greeting of the landlord, whose
fat, rubicund face, and moist, twinkling
blue eye, gave promise of good inter-
taininent, and soon dispelled oui fears.
One of his first questions was whether
we liked trout lor sapper fresh from
the brook. Of course we did; but to
our astonishment—it bein" now pitch in r» , „• t
.1 i i t , .t 7; t l , I Her Koval Higunes
dark—we learned that the fish had yet
to be caught. Being an ardent angler,
and curious to learn how the tiling was
to be done, upon his invitation we ac
companied him to the scene of action,
a brawling mountain brook within a
few yards of his door. Belore s'artine i
he took from a closet, where it had
been slowed away, an ordinary glass-
globe lantern, with two long tin tubes
fixed to it on either side, through which
the flame was supplied with air.—
Fighting it, he then took from his pock
et a common pruning knile with a
hawk’s-bill a serpe ; he was now pre
pared for the fray. A walk of t A’o or n r f> - - . .
L ..j I nuce ot rrussia, iny husband
three minutes brought us to tne side ot I;. ;i , ’ J
a deep, dark pool, which, with the
glare of the lamp dancing over it like a
“will o’-thc-wisp,” looked like the bot
tomless pit.
With the queer-looking lantern in
his left hand, and lhe ^riglit armed with
the formidable knife, the landlord seat
ed himself on a fiat projecting rock
whence the descent was seen to the
bottom of the pool. He then slowly
thusrt the still burning lamp into the
deep water, where it looked like a
great glowing kuhiuoor. Holding it
thus for about a minute, lie raised it
evenly and slowly to the surface, and
around, it to our delight and astonish
ment, were fifteen or twenty fish of dif
Cerent siz^s pressing their noses against
the glass as if eager lo get at the light.
Then, selecting the best fish, our host
adroitly tapped four of them on the
head with the bill of his knife. They
turned on their sides dead without a
flutter. Tims in less time than it takes
to write the account we had four
prime half pound trout, which, with
the addition of an omelette au lard,
such as the French only can make a
mound ol perfumed golden mountain
butter, and hot lie of Baune, covered
with the dust ol a quarter of a century
we had a supper worthy to record in
Briilat-Sjvarin’s immortal Physiologic
du Gout. 'Phis pleasant little' adven
ture at the wayside inn was recalled
to our memory by a statement in our
exchanges. It seems that a light is
quite as attractive to the fish of the
great deep as to their cousins of the
mountain brook. The professional

The Crown Piincess of Prussia,
Victoria’s eldest daughter, inherits
more of her mother’s traits 1 Ban any of
her other decendanis, among which is
a jealous virtue not to be despised, and
something of a temper. She recently,
went to her jeweler to purchase a dia
motid necklace, and selected a very
beautiful one, something quite new,
but noticed that the head of the estab
lishment, who, of course, was serving
her, tried in vain lo suppress a peculi
ar smile. The Princess, always ex
citable, flushed up and asked haughti
ly if there was any reason why she
could not purchase the necklace she
had selected. “It already belongs to
your Royal Highness,” the shopkeeper
was started into replying, “though 1
was not authorized to let your Royal
Highness know it. It was ordeied
some lime ago.” “Who ordered it?
the Prince ? Oh ! now 1 sec—my
birthday is in a lew days ; no doubt he
intends this as his birthday gilt. Be
sure you do not mention my visit here
and 1 shall say nothing to the Prince.”
The Princess was touched by the
thoughtful compliment from her hus
band, who, in those days, was neither
noted for his thoughtfulness nor his
tenderness, and eagerly awaited her
birthday in silence. 'The morning
came, and numberless cadenvx, accord
ing to German custom, were carried
into her bedchamber ; among them
one that bore her husband’s handwrit
ing on the covering. Siie tore off the
wrapping trembling, almost weeping,
and refusing assistance. The little
casket contained a very handsome dia-

could it mean t Luke the Queen, the
Prince Royal isa martyr to jealous rage
arid her fury may be imagined. But
to discover what she was determined
to learn she hid her rage, saying to her
self, “A necklace like that would on
ly be a fitting cadeaux to some one who
goes lo Court—l shall see it !” And
she did ! At the next Court ball the
searching eyes of the Crown Princess
did not permit any one to pass unnotic
ed. At last there entered a young and
beautiful lady—a well-known belle;
she wore :ir:t necklace ! The eyesof

when her glance rested upon il. She
walked deliberately up to the lady
and asked her, in at me qui:e audible
to those near, “Who gave you that

son, hesitated, stammered, and failed
to reply. “Who made you a present
of those exquisite diamonds ?” deman
ded the Princess, varying her question.
The lady, now quite confident from
the manner of the Crown Princess that
she knew ihe donor, and there was no
mercy to be expected, stoo 1 silent.

LOVE AND LAUDANXJM.
The only son of a very wealthy
gentleman recently fell in love with
a pretty actress of the Boufie Paris-
iens. He offered her jewels-and mon
ey in oilier forms, and expecled as
easy a conquest as women of her
condition generally are. But .she^said :
“Halt! I will wear, you jewels
and fake your money, but if you ( want
anything fioin me, you must bnng Mr.
Mayor and Mr. Parson to coriflnn your
declarations of eternal love.” The fast
fellow was Stunned by these objec
tions,which are not often heard behind
the foot lights. When he recovered
from the blow, the love, which was
but a caprice, became an all-engrossing
passion. He thought he had but to
stoop to conquer. He found Conquest
impossible except upon terms which
he had thought loo hard to be accepta
ble under any circumstances. Obstacles
irritated his passion, and it demanded
gratification at any price. He con
sented io marriage. His father's ap
proval however, was necessary. He
asked it, and met with a blunt refusal.
Then ha besought the girl to strike
priest and Mayor out of l.ei conditions.
She obstinately refused. He then
went to his father, and holding up a
phial of laudanum in his hand, said :
“Father, unless you give ine your con
sent 1,11 drink this in your presence.”
The fa'her hesitated a little, just
long enough to try the sincerity ot his
son, and ihen gave h s consent, saying .
“ Poison for poison ; I prefer the poi
son which, when taken, at least does
not bereave me of my son. They are
to be married next week.
“Mother, where’s Bill ?”
‘ Mv son, don’t lo l me near you say

The Terrors of Examination.—
The great bugbear and lertor pf un
dergraduate existence lies in that aw
ful word “examination.” The ordeals
are undergone in rooms situated in a
splendid quadrangle called “the
schoolsthe written woik is done at
small deal tables, each man having a
separate table, and examiners are
posted all about lo prevent “crib
bing” of any kind, nevertheless, does
we suspect, go on to a considerable
extent in the “pass” schools. Jl is an
awful affair for a culprit to be discov
ered. Numerous stories are always
afloat of wonderful blunders »n Di
vinity. Here are a couple ol" amusing
specimens, which we credit with some
foundation :
Examiner : “What can you tell
me about St. Paul ?”
Undergraduate : “He was also called
Saul, and was brought up at the foot
of Gamaliel.”
Examiner : “Yes, quite right. What
do you know about Gamaliel ?”
Undergraduate : “Il is mountain in
Galilee.”
The next, we believe, may be cred
ited to Cambridge :
Examiner : “Why did Moses leave
Egypt ?” Undergraduate : (with hes
itation)— M Why, sir, hein, hem,”
Examiner : “Come come, answer, if
you know.”
Undergraduate : “Well, sir, I sup
pose that little affair with Potiphar’s
wife.”
For the fallowing we do not at
tempt in any way to vouch, although
we have heard its authenticity stren
uously asserted :
Examiner : “Why was John the
Baptist beheaded ?”
Undergraduate : (faltering)—“Be
cause he would not dance with Here
