“1 sold one of your Patent Dust Proof
Cases about ten months ago and the
other day it came back to me with the
request to make it wind easier, on ex
amination I found that the stem was
rusty, and I iuquired into the cause,of it
The gentleman stated to me that he was
starting some saw-logs that had lodged
in the bend of the river, when his chain
caught tn a bush and threw bis watch
into sbout twefyd feet oi water, and he
was about twp hours finding it. When

How sweet at night to sit me down,
Beside a gentle, loving wife,
And In my heart's drear trials own

Her lore can smooth the troubled way,
Her tenderness bids care depart;
Her smiles enhance the darkest day,
And make a sunshine to the heart.

She is a pearl of priceless wear,
A lasting joy our life to fill.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR HER.
A TRUE AMERICAN STORY.
The ancestors ot' the good peo
ple of the United States weal to
the country ostensibly to escape,
the; persecution of arislocrulic
England, but, alas! for the m
uonsislency of human nature,they
were very far from abandoning
aristocracy when they lelt the
mother country. They took it
with Ihetn, together with all its
accompanying notions and ab
surdities, and have left it to their
children as an inalienable legacy,
which they seent to be trying to
increase every day.
In the days of the good colony
of Virginia, the distinctions be
tween rich and poor were based
upon laws which, like those of the
Medes and Persians, altered not
One of the most devout fol lowers'
of this code was a wealthy planter
living in what is .known at Om
Northern Neck. He was all
other respects a frank, open
hearted, manly gdfillemau ; but
his estimate of his fellow-men
Was founded upon the principles
that governed his selection of his
horses—blood.' Wealth, too, was
by no means an unimportant fea
ture with him. 1 -He had onr ha
man weaßuess, and, like atl of
us, was influenced more than be
even believed by pounds, shill
ings and, fie nee. ■ ‘
. This Mr. 0— had-quite a large
family, among them a daughter
whose beauty was the standing
toast of the country. She was
just eighteen, and .into
lovely womanhood. Not only was
she beautiful in person, but heY
amiable disposition and

did not think it wrong to permit
him to enjoy such unreserved in
tercourse with their daughter.
The father only laughed at the
idea, and said be hoped bit
daughter knew her position too
well to allow anything like love
for a poor surveyor io blind her
to her duty to her family.
Nevertheless, Mary (}—was not
so fully impressed with this con
viction of duly as was her father.
.She found more io admire in the
poor surveior than in all Ler
wealthy aristocratic suitors; and
almost before she knew if, her
heart passed out of her keeping,
and was given io him. Bhe loy
ed him wiiiDallrithe honesty and,
devotion of her pure bear! ; and
she w<.<j<d iutVe thought it a
pM#ss to go out with him iylo f
the bac.k-woqiU and share his
fatigues and (roubles, no matter'
how *nucb sorrow they might be
to her.
Nor did she love in vain. The
young man,'whose knowledge oi
the world was afterwards so
great, had riol theu learned to
consider as binding the distinc
tions which society drew between
his position and that of the lady,
lie knew that in all that makes a
man, in integrity and honesty of
purpose, he was the equal of any
one. He beneved that, except in
wealth, he Stood upon a period
'’equality with Maty (J ,and he
loved her honestly and manfully,
and no sooner had he saUsiied
himself upon the stale of his own
feelifigs than he cofessed his de
votion, simplv-aud truthfully, and
received from the lady’s lips the
assurance thal she loved him
very dearly
Scorning to occupy a doubtful
position, or to cause the lady to
concfeal aught from her parents,
the young tnan frankly and'
manfully asked Mr. G— for his
daughter’s hand. Very augry
grew (lie planter as lie listened
to tha audaewnm proposal. He
stormed and swore furiously, and
denounced the young maa as an
ungrateful and insolent upstart.
