A PORTUNATE JEST.
[Selected]
A certain young man. living not
a thousand miles from the city of
London, had, at the age of one nnd
twenty, come into the possession of
a large fortune.
Immediately thereupon the fair
weather friends assembled about
him, nnd sought to make him t>o
lieve that they could make life
pleasant for hitn. He was fond of
company; full of lifey with no re
straint savo his own ‘conscience,*
and he was easily le'd on into the
glare nnd glitter of convivial en
joyment.
His mother had died when ho
was a youth of sixteen, and his
father had lived but a year longer.
And he had no near relative to
counsel or to guide him.
Once he had loved a beautiful
young girl,* but his dissipated
course had frightened her parents,
and they had forbidden him their
house until he could truly mend
This had so angered him that he
had torn the image out from his
heart, resolving that he would nev
be a slave !
And ho was living a brilliant,
glorious life, he know—or, at least,
eh told him so. lie drank deeper
and deeper,* and, anon, he came to
the gaming table. In short, every
vice that a weahhv spendthrift
might find fleeting pleasure in, h e ]
indulged in.
And the circle of fiends clung 1
closely. They swore/b'y him; de
clared him a trump. They drank
tile wine, and robbed Jiim his
money,* and if a new source or
pleasure could be lound, they all
went in for the enjoyment, and he
paid the bill.
One day, after his eyes had be
come bleared, and his step uncer
tain, he met the girl he had once
loved, in the street. He read pity
in her sweet face, and saw tears in
her eyes; and he tried to steel his
heart; yet he thought of her until
his wild friends ware again ar .und
him.
One day he went to the bank and
drew out a thousand pounds.
That night he eat down in his
own apartments, with his own wine
upon ti e sideboard, and his own
cards upon the table, and played
with his dear friends! The wine
flowed freely, ho drank deeply, and
the game went on recklessly. They
played for high stakes, and played
fast and late.
On the following morning th 7“
young man awoke with a bursting
bead and aching eyes. By-and-by
he called to mind the events of the
night, lie looked into his pocket
book and into his purse. Empty,
both ! And he remembered that
he had given his checks to various
members of the party for large
amounts, lie found the counter
foils, and they told him he had
drawn his checks to the amount of
over two thousand.
Cut what of that? Before night
he had drank brandy enough to
steady his nerves, ami mako him
once more happy.
Another evening came, and again
his friends were assembled round
bis board. He had got up a grand
supper for them this time! and af
ter the various course of food had
passed in order, came the wine and
the toasts.
And one of the friends, to whom
a large check had been given, got
up to offer a sentiment.
“Fill up! fill up!” he cried,
“while I give you the toast of tbo
evening/ Here’s to our seber and
thrifty host! May he be ever as
sensible as he is at this moment!”
It was drank with cheers—three
times three.
It was observed that from that
moment the spirits of their host
seemed to fail him. 7/e became
moody and abstracted. By-and
by soma one bantered him upon it,
and asked him what was the mat
ter.
Ho answered:
“I was thinking, did Tom tell
the truth when he said I was sober
and thrifty ?”
And thereupon they all exclaim
ed .*
“Of course he did ! Oh ! was
ever a man soberer, or more thrif
ty ?”
“Because,” pursued the host,
pathetically, “1 shouldn’t want a
friend to lie on my account!”
‘Oho ! Sensible to the last !
Fill up !”
But thG host would drink no
more. 7/e bade the oihers enjoy
theraselvos as much, and as L>ng
as they pleased; but thoy must ex
cuse him.
Without him, however, tho sport
laggel; and when they found there
was to be no card-playing they :o >n
dispersed.
And after they were gone, tho
young man sat dov n alone, and
thought; and the words, ‘ Sober
atul thrifty !” “Sober and thrif
ty!'’ rang in bis ears, and he rr
poatod them aloud.
And then he repealed;
“May he be ever as sensible as
he is at this moment!” And then,
with a smiting of his clinched hand
upon his bosom, he exclaimed,
‘ Tom di 1 not lie ! I will not let
hitn lie!”
On the following day the youth
! went to the hank, and was closeted
for half an hour with the manager.
■ On the morning of the next day
a paragraph appeared in the sooie
tv papers, announcing:
We are rather pained to announce
that F— R—, the young man who
was the inheritor of a fortune little
more than two rears ago, has lost
every penny. Misfortune has be
fallen him; false friends have be
trayed him; so that now his bill
for less than a hundred pounds lias
gone to protest.
On the next day after this the
young tnan (we will call him Fred)
went to Tom Amberly, to whom he
hid given hundreds and thousands,
and asked him for the loan of a
hundred poun Is.
“ Ton my honor, Fred, I wish
I had it; but really ”
The youth waited to hear no
more. He tried half a dozen oth
ers, and with the same result; save
that one man, who had won two
thousand pounds from him at one
sitting, offered to give him five
pounds; but ho wouldn’t lend him!
Then Fred went to his rooms,
and sold off his furniture, and gave
them up; and from that timo was
lost to sight for several months
It wa9 getting towards Christ*
mas time that a society paper came
out on a certain set, was startling:
We are happy to state that a sad
mistake was made a few months
since in the announcement of the
entire loss of Mr. F— B—'s for
tune, lie had at that time|been vory
unfortunate, and, through some
strange mistake, a bill of his went
to protest; but be is all right now.
The manager of the bank where
his accoun; is kept informs us that
he will honor the young roan's
check for a hundred thousand
pounds with pleasure. Ail is well
that ends well.
Within fonr-snd-twenty hours
of that time Fred was in receipt of
a dozen gushing notes, from as ma
ny different individuals, offering
him any help in their power to
give, and begging him to remem
ber the old friendship.
Only one of them did he answer
and that was the note from Tom
Amberly:
Do you remember, Torn, that
you ence offered a toast in my
rooms in honor of myself; and you
called mo your “Sober and thrifty!
host ” And I resolved in my heart
of hearts from that moment that
vou had not lied!”
And when tho Christmas bells
were ringing Fred led tls-e dear
girl of his old-time love to the a!
tar, nnd took her hand in wedlock,
promising that the night had pass
ed, and that the morning had
dawned upon and better life.

Tt was nntting time.
A Dooming band of peasant children
had gathered from far and near to have
a merry da* 7 amid the nut trees and
hedges.
I say children —but girls of fifieen
and lads of eighteen and twenty were
ecattercd through the chattering group
The nut har est was a joyful time
to them.
The voting are always attractive in
a cert tin way. The undimined bright
ness of the eye. the satiny smooth
ness of the complexion —the happy
smiles hovering around tho rosy lips
each has a beauty to itself; but add to
the youthful face the charm of per
fectly chiseled features, and of lustrous
brown eyes looking out upon the
world with nn innocent wonder at the
changing scenes of loveliness so con
stantly unfolding themselves before
them —frame it in a mass of shining,
wavy gold of nature’s own crimping—
qnd poi-e it upon a form so lithe and
slender in its exqusite grace that
Praxiteles might have chosen it for his
model —and you can form an idea of
Rika Bremer —the aekr.ow!edged’beau
ty of the whole surrounding country.
And there was a romantic story
ahnut her point; the rounds.
It was said that no less a personage
than Prince Eric, the son ol rhc great
and “nod Oostavus, had been standing
one morning by ©Soot the palace win'
dows to witness n rustic procession,
which had been gotten up in honor of
some important victory, recently won
by his famous father; and ns he 6tood
gaziug listlessly out, his eyes brighten'
e 1 suddenly, and ho turned to an at
tendant and whispered a few words
which caused him to hasten away
When he returned ho was not alone
Rika was with him.
Prince Eiic’s beauty-loving eyes had
been attracted by her, as she had stood
amid a group o,f other maidens, looking
at the gayly-dressed columns of her
countrymen Cling by.
She, too, was in holiday attire; and
the black velvet jacket, fitting closely
to her slender figure, and adurncd with
silver-gilt buttons, brought out so
vividly the exquisite fairness of her
skin, with its rose*!caf tints ol red upon
lips and cheeks, that she looked like
a being of a different sphere ns she
stood amid her mites.
Confused and blushing, sbo now
awaited the prince's pleasure. She
dared not raiso her eyes to his face.
Had she done so, she would have
been overpowered by the earnestness
of the gaze with which he regarded
her.
From the moment his eyes rested
i upon Rika's face, the world hold but
one peerless woman to him.
It mattered not that his younger
brother, Duke John, was even then in
another kingdom, wooing tor him a
royal bride, upon whose brow rested a
diadem, whose splendor far exceeded
the one which he was to inherit upon
the death of his father.
No. In that moment Elizabeth of
England was forgotten. The peasant
.maid who stood before him had be
come the queen of his faney.
‘ Thy name, little one ?” ho asked
Kika raised her eyes to the hand
some, earnest lace, but dropped them
! timidly as she met his glance.
‘■l am I’rederika— the forester's
daughter—yor majesty.”
‘•Nay, not yet crave I for that title,
maiden, \oung blood must have its
vent, and I am glad to know that the
cares n} government are not soon like
ly to rest upon my shoulders, broad
though they^be."
With a smile he glanced at his stab
wart frame, which was acknowledged
to be one of the finest specimens of
physical comeliness in the country, as 1
(H. T. LEWIS,
( EDITOR.
was his lace called the handsomest of
any prince’s in Europe.
Rika courtc.-ied respectfully, but did
not reply.
If the gtfittious prince chose thus to
address as an equal one of l tho hum
blest of his father’s subjects, she kDcW
well her position, an ! was to the full
as proud of her unsullied innocence
and integrity as the haughtiest maid in>
the ream.
Her shy modesty added to her
beauty in Erie's eyes.
••Where livest fhon* Frederika ?" he
asked. softly ; “ fW' l would well like
to send thy father a commission to fell
some trees which much interfere with
the c mfort of the king's hunting
parties in the foreht.”
This he said 1 , knowing rntuirlvefy
that it would startle llika tfv give her
his true reason and say that he intend
ed t 'strirt eut himself in quest of
fiirer and more precious-game—which
must be ensnared in tenderer toils than
those at file' command of the keenest
sportsman at liis father’s court.
After a few words more he suffered
Rika to go. Rut the sweet memory of
her presence went not with her. It
nestled deep witf.in his heart.
After this interview, scarcely a week
passed that did not find Eric’s steps
turned in the direction'of the forester’s
cot "£'.•
A glass of milk, from. Rika’s own
white liands. was the draught morfc
preferred by tRo royal hunter —al
though, out of codYtesy, he would some
times accept a mug of mead from th®
sturdy old father.
Matters were in this ,tage at the
timo our story opens.
The nuts were gathered, and tho
merry groups had dispersed to their
various homes, with the understanding
that they should meet again the next
day and go together to the palace and
ui*p'nse of their treasures.
The next morning found them on
their way, dressed in their best, os bes
came so eventful an occasion in their
usually monotonous lives; for royalty
has such a glamor to uninitiated eyes
that the mere sight of the walls which
shut it iD is eagerly coveted.
It was a pretty sight to Rnyone who
might have been stationed at the win
dow, to see that blooming procession of
neatly dressed lad* and lassos, as they
jvended they way along with many a
marry laugh and jest, until at last they
halted in the great square before the
palace.
Rut to the watching eyes of the
prince —who had received a hint of
tha coming of the nut-gatherers—them
was but one face worth looking at
among the throng.
‘‘Come,” he said to the courtiers who
were standing near, “let us go down to
the square in a body and mako the
hearts of you merry rustics even mer
rier tO'day by exchanging some coins
for the nuts they have with them.”
A prince’s suggestion never lacks for
listeners, nor for follower*; and soon
the rich toilettes of the court peoj 1 r
were scattered about amidst the crowd
in the square.
Eric’s steps were turned at once
towards Rika.
He soon possessed himself of her
nuts; and after paying for them lavish
ly in golden coin, he took from an
inner pocket a locket and chain, which
he cave to her, saying :
“Wear it for my sake. There is no
one who would look fairer in it. You
ought to be a queen, little Rika, nnd I
will y p t make yosoue-,”
Before Rika had time to realize
aught hut that his words had filled her
heart with a bewildering sense of hapn
pines , he had gone, his gift alone re
maining to prove that she had not beeo
dreaming.
Rut she soon eanie to her sober
senses.
It was well known that King Gas*
tavus had been holding negotiations
with the maiden Queen of England, to
induce her to bestow her jewelled
hand upon his eMe-r son, and it had
reached Rika's ears.
Such a fhing had been known as a
maid of low degree being woaed and
won by a royal suitor. The tale of
Grbel's happiness, sod of her woes as i
well' was a favorite on# among the I
folk-stories told around the humhla I
hearths of the peasantry; and if fate I
