CHOOSING HIS PROFESSION.
BT HANNAH HOPPER*
* Not a cent, you young scoundrel V
4 Do you mean it, sir ?*
* Did you ever know me to say any
thing T didn't mean ?’
* There must always be a first time,
•ir, and I didn’t know *
There neverll be ailrst time with
me, you ungrateful dog.*
4 I am not ungrateful, sir.*
4 Then what do yon call yourself to
treat ray wishes in this way after all
I’ve done for you ?’
4 Sir, you have done much for me,
and Z am grateful, how i hope to make
manifest in after years, but I do not
think it my duty to sacrifice my tastes,
my hopes, and my talents, because of
it I am ready to serve .you in any
thing but this.’
Your tastes, your talents ! Your
fiddlesticks! You can’t get any of
your sentimental, nonsensical bosh
down me. Talents 1 Don’t you know,
you blunderhead, that every love-sick,
silly boy can write verses and twad
dle V’
Whether I know it or not is not at
all to the point I have written more
than yon know, Uncle Itoss, and not
sentimental twaddle either.’
Written more than I know ? No
doubt you have, but I’ve seen enough,
and you’ll always be poor as an Indian,
and you can for all me. You must
just keep the fact Irtsh in your nnnd,
meantime, that my purse is closed
against you.’
4 1 had rather your purse would be
closed than your heart, uucle. You
made your own money. I can make
mine. I am not the lazy, mcicenary
fellow that would give up any thing
for money. I haven’t business tact,
and don’t like business. I Jikc litera
ture.’
4 You like to be a fool, but you’ll rue
the day. You’ll regret it. Go along
your own way if you like, and sec
what’ll become of you.*
4 Well sir, good morning.”
‘Wait—there’s something else 1
would give you to think ot. You
needn’t think I haven’t guessed vour
feelings toward Amy. I ain’t blind
yet, if I am a trifle deaf, and I tell you
now, George, if you won’t go into bus
iness as I advise, and not be trotting
around after a jack-o'lanteru, you’ll
never get that girl for a wife unless
you take her penniless. I meant that
you should slmro the property even,
and then share it nil together, but the
whole thing ends here, if you persist
your crazy course.’
George Grey’s face wna flushed, and
i augry retort sprang to his.lips,
but lie did not utter it—ho did not say
any thing but ‘Good rooming,’ aud
went out.
Tho young scoundrel,’ muttered
the old geutleman, getting up aud
pacing the floor terrifically. 4 The
crazy idiot, the wild puppy, the
Why, uncle, who arc you abusin;
iu this manner V’ said a cheery voice
at his elbow, and Amy actually shook
the old gentleman's arm with, consid
erable force.
‘ The young scapegrace! ’ continued
he, shaking his arm furiously to throw*
oil* the white baud, and pulliug across
the room like a steam engine.
‘ The impudent sauce-box ’
4 Uncle, arc you crazy ?’ said Ann*,
hanging to his arm and following him
across the room with a skip and a
jump.
4 Crazy ?’ repeated he, kicking a
stool across the room with great force,
and shaking his arm with redoubled
energy.
4 You can't shake me off, so you
might os well give up,’ said Amy.
4 Where's that young reprobate ?
Go and tell him never to step his foot
into this house again.’
‘ If you mean George, why, of course,
you know I’ll not do it,’ said Amy.
‘ Of course I don't know any such a
thing. * I’ll have somebody mind me.
You look pretty disobeying my orders.
You. that was a ragged little beggar
when 1 took you, and nothing but a
white-faced girl now. Start yourself
and tell that scamp to leave this house
and never enter it again.’ •
‘ Pooh ! you just spend your breath
and strength for nothing raving’round
so. I guess I'd look pretty tcliiog
George any such nonsense as that. 1
‘Then you may just leave the house
too, if you can't obey my orders. 1
And he pulled the boll-rope with a
tremendous jerk. A servaut soon ap
peared.
‘Go and tell George Grey to leave
this bouse, and never enter it again,’
he said.
The servant hesitated.
4 Go !* he roared, grasping a stool,
and flinging it toward him. 4 When
I say ‘go’ it's your business to start.’
And dodging the stool the servant
fled.
4 Now, Miss,’ he said,* turning to
Amy, 4 if you can't obey me you can
leave also. I won’t have disobedience
in my house.'
4 Dear me, uucle. you arc in an aw.
tul fret. Do sit down and lake a little
rest.’
4 If you think I'm going to rest with
everybody disobeying me yoi arc
slightly mistaken. Put tliat cat down,
If Ulpro’9 any tiling I hate it'* to
girl holding a cat ia her lap, and get-
ting covered with nasty cat-hairs.’
4 You don’t want to get down, do
you, pusayf said Amy, smoothing the
kitten's white fur. 4 You sec, uncle,
the kitten likes to sit in my lap.’
4 I’ll havo the cat killed! * and there
wem another violent pull at the bell-
rope.
A servant looked in.
* Take that cat there and smash out
its brains/ screamed the enraged colo
nel
But, sir/ ventured the servant
None’of your‘but sir*.’ Take the
cat away^I tell yon.*
The servant started toward Amy,
who bad wrapped the kitten safely in
her white apron.
You know better than to kill my
white kitten, Billy/ said Amy,Smoking
up with innocent eyes.
Billy stopped.
4 Taxe that cat immediately/ yelled
the colonel
4 But, sir,* ventured the servant.
The colonel started toward Amy
with vengeance stamped plainly on
his face, whereupon Amy sprang up,
and with the kitten in her apron ran
out like a dart, her uncle after her.—
She ran out tluough the front hall,
and down through the garden, but the
old gentleman, who u as much troub
led with the rheumatism, gave up the
chase, and stood at the loot of the
steps, making furious motions toward
her as she stood at the foot of the gar
den laughing back at him.
What is the house comiug to ?’ in
quired the colonel of himself, as he
mounted the steps with some difficulty
without bis slatf, and went back into
his own sitting-room. Uesanklotoa
chair exhausted, and began to grow
cooler, though his terrible rage had
revived the rheumatic pains which he
often suffered.
lie sat there nearly an hour alone,
thinking and trying to got rested.from
his excitement and furious exercise.—
Suddenly a pair of arms were thrown
around his neck, aud ho received a
roost uuromantic hug from Amy, who
for a wonder had red eyes and a quiv
ering lip.
‘Uncle, did you really mean that
George should go away and never
come back again? Did you, now, un
cle ?’
This reference to his nephew excited
the colonel's rage again.
4 The scoundrel! Did I ever say
what I didn't mean? ’ he exclaimed,
getting excited again.
Well, uucle, you’re ciuel—there !
and Amy’s arms dropped from her un-
clcs's neck, and, sinking on an otto
man, she burst iuto tears.
The colonel looked at her sidewa3'S
from his eyes, but he didn't speak.
‘He’s gone,’ sobbed Amy, 4 and to
ken all of his things ; and you are
cross—though I wouldn’t mind that,
I'm too used to you, but it’s so heart
less in you, uncle. I didn’t think you
would be quite so cruel.’
If he had done as I wanted him to, 1
said the colonel, iu a little cooler tone,
everything wduld have been all right
and ho would have had a heap of
moucy besides.’
No, everything wouldn't have been
all right; he was made for a writer,
and you have no right to command
liis tastes.’
1 have a right to look out for his
interests, and, when I sec him running
to destruction, it’s my business to step
him.’
4 But iu order to stop him you hurry
him on to what you preteud to wish
him to avoid.’
‘ lie should be sensibly I meant
the iellow good. He's gone, then, has
he ? ’
Yes, he'3 gone, all because you let
your temper run away with you as
you so often do. Please write to him.
aud tell him to come hack.’
And Amy's amis were again around
her uncle’s neck.
4 Only on my terms. 1 won't have
my judgment thrown aside for a strip
ling. Let him try his pauper business.
He'll soon he tired of it. Don't fret I’
Well, if you won’t relent, you won’t.
1 suppose, so 1 won’t spend my breath
teasiug.’
And Amy, who had a large share of
hope and common sense, left the old
gentleman again to his own medita
tions.
A few' months had flown, and Amy
sat, as was her custom for an hour in
the evening, reading to her uncle.
4 ne is no common person who
writes those articles/ he said, when
Amj' had finished reading journals
from a very gifted pen. 4 1 tell you
he can can write well. I like his style,’
he continued; but Amy was suddenly
seized with a fit of coughing, having a
slight coid, and was obliged to leave
the room. However, she never failed
to read nil the articles from that pen
which appeared, and the colonel list
ened with undivided aiteution.
He heard nothing from his exiled
nephew in the meantime, and, though
he often felt conscience stricken for
his harshness, and would have been
glad to retract bis verdict, he kept si
lent, aud a year went by.
The articles from the interesting but
unknown correspondent continued to
a; pear in the popular journal^ and at
last a book appeared written by the
same author^ound a most enthusiastic
welcome by the public.
I would like to see the man who
write* so well, and has given me so
much pleasure,’ said the colonel one
day. 4 He must be a worthy man,
Amy, and if, George had bis talents,
I wouldn’t have * •
Amy cut him short.
4 Let me w rite to this correspondent
ancle; and send your compliments,
and Invite him to call on us. Shall IY
4 1 suppose it will do no hinn.*
4 Of coarse not. Shall I ?’
‘Perhaps so.’ ’
The letter was
ply came in
4 He’s
colonel, his face beaming all over
with pleasure.
In a week from to-day he will bo-
here'. Won’t it be a treat ?*
The week passed away,atid the brill
iant young author rang the bell at the
colonel's residence and was ushered
into the sitting-room.
Amy stood behind her uncle, who
stood ready to do homage to his liter
ary guest.
4 1 am happy, sir/ he commenced,
then the tall young man, who stood
bowing with hat in hand, received a
severe slap'on his shoulder, while the
colonel shouted:
4 George, .you scoundrel, if you
haven't played a most contemptible
trick on me.’ But there was a hearty
band-shaking and moistened eyes on
both sides, but actual tears from Amy,
who had trembled for the result.
‘Aud you were in the plot, were
you?’ said the colonel to Amy, after
explanations were made. 4 You are,
too sharp for me altogether, two of
you together so and—I suppose, I
must give up.*
4 But you needn’t give me a cent of
property, uncle,’ said George; 4 1 ani
independent’
4 Who would havo thought it, except
those who read your at tides and
book.'
*1 ask one favor, however,* said
George.
‘Then you are not so independent,
after all.’
4 1 want Amy for ray wife.’
4 And does she want you for a hus
band?’
‘Yes, sir.* *
4 Then she is yours, with all the
money you want, provided you'll keep
on writing. I couldn’t get along with
out your articles to read.’
4 Neither shall you,’ and the story
ends though the characters live.
[COMM UN ICATKD.J
OUR VISIT.
•‘All ready!” said M. “So am I,” but
where are those provoking gloves?
Look here Hal, turn your pockets in
side out. There you tease, I knew
you had them! Good-bye!—don’t let
the house burn down before we return.
“Nor the cow eat the grind-stone!”
saug out M. I hurried out to climb in
to the cart—yes cart! Do yoa caie
reader? “No!” well 1 am sure I don't;
of course I should not take much pride
in riding in one through thcBroadway
of some city—but here, what does it
matter?
The dewy haze of a June moruin;
is sleeping upon the woods and mur
muring streams. Brighter and bright
er glows the rosy tinge upon those pure
beautiful, fleecy clouds, lingering near
the eastern horizon, like Persian fife
worshippers, to catch the first beam of
the God of day. 1 was aroused from
dreams of ill-fated llafcd and his
A7ab girl, who sleeps beneath Oman’s
greeu watere, by M’s. request, “to hold
on to the old giey while he lit his pipe.”
I looked up—we were at a settlors
home; the whole family came out and
instetetf on our eating some warm
breakfast. We did—aud enjoyed the
nice curds and cream, and fragrant
coffee.
Once more on our way—jolt—jolt
over the palmetto roots this spriugless
cart earns us, (I do hate to ride
in one) regardless of ihc bruises,
black and blue we were receiving,
How thankful I am that the worst of
the roads is past and we are approach
ing the prairie. Even old grey steps
along more briskly, unheeding the
mauy flowers he is crushing. “Ti s
sad to think so many beautiful flowers,
waste their sweetness on the desert
air.” Oh, how iliosc whirling partrid
ges startle one! What is it 1 see near
that pond, glancing in the sun t-cams?
Curlews; as we approach nearer, they
rise in pink and white clouds to seek
some other plfico where undisturbed,
they may feed. What comfort those
sleek cows are taking, kncc-dccp iu
cool water, lazily winking the insects
fiom their dreamy eyes. There is a
farmers house; and if any of the fam
ily arc at home they are Pure to come
out and invite us to stay for dinner.
•Yes, here they come, the old lady,
pipe in mouth—sajs “come in: 1 am
glad to see you, for we have lots of
nice fish for dinner.” We thank the
kind soul, but keep bn oUr way. There
on the right is a large Necropolis, in
which lie “cheek by jowl,” mauy grim
warriors who on< e* ranged the flats in
search of game. And here a word cn-
jxissanL Organic remains taken from
this mound are of immense size, and
look as if they oucc belong to a race
of giants—but future zoologist* must
theorize and arrive at conclusions.
Ah! what is that, which starts and
pauses, with antlered bead thrown np?
A wild ash deer. Quick M., your gun.
How exciting! I too feel some of the
hunter a spirit rising within me; with
beating heart I stand np in the cart to
watch M’s., stealthy cat-like creeping
around that clump of tree*. Now he
i* going to fire, I resume my seat and
the line* to clasp band over my cars.
He is down—up again and away, now
for a hard run f down once more and
dead as Hector! M. shoulders and
brings him to the cart. Dear mere}'!
Isay you are a nice spectacle to
a visiting—with those muddy panta
an*! that bloody shirt. Will come right
when washed, he serenely replies.
(How provoking men can be; yester-
hammocks—where the cabbage pal
mettos rear their gigantic tranks, and
wave their green plumes in the balmy
air. There goes a flocl? of paroquets
with gay plumage, like winged jewels
they glance in and oat of their leafy
covert. Once more a prairie—with
its waving grass, and thousand of wild
fowls wheeling in circles over head.
At last we are in sight of our frieods
home. I see the the smoke curling so
gracefully above tlje green oaks; hrtir
the word ofwelcome. Wc had a de
lightful visit of two days and nights.
A pleasant, refined and educated fam
ily. We bade them with regret; fare
well. As we travel bo&eward the sun
sinks behind the West era clouds, the
shadows deepen—the birds one by one
sing tbeir vesper song and seek repose.
The round laughing moon is rising!
How beautiful the dew is on grass and
flower! That picturesque old tree,
which throws such fantastic shadows
athwart the road, sparkles as if a
wave of Alladin’s lamp had showered
on It all the gems of Golcondo. How
frightfully discordant the hooting of
that owf!—it makes my flesh creep-
being associated in my mind with In
dians, tomahawks and scalps.
Now we cross a brook, which smiles
and brightens in the moon beams.
IIow cmblamatic of woman’s fidelity
—and man’s inconstancy! this little
brook sees but the one moon—the
moon looks down on many brooks !
That old farm house looks really beau
tiful, softened by the moon light; ami
how still! “Tinkling bells arc heard
no more, and daily toils forgot.”
Justus we were cungratulutiug our
selves on a speedy arrival at home,
one of the tires took a notion to come
off; hut before it accomplished its de
sign, M. gave it a wedging and chuck
ing and every half mile the same op
eration had to bo repeated.
Thegcntlc sea breeze caused a drow
sy feeling to steal over me; I was just
entering I he vestibule of morpheus
when a rumbling noise recalled me;
“the bridge” I said, and dozed once
more, and dreamed, (how wonderful
are dreams!) in a twinkling, for it
could not have been longer, of toiling
a long weary way upn mountain; just
as 1 reached the summit, my foot slip
ped—down—down, I sunk. I could
hear the roaring waters beneath, in a
moment I was awake, and knew I was
falling from that nboraninblc old curt.
At first I thought the bridge had given
away, and that myself, cart and horse
were going to tho bottom ot the deep
creek. No, the bridge was all right—
I had gotten too far back andfof course
the body had to tilt. I fell-first, then
followed bags of salt, nails, tobacco
aud bundles, “too numerous to men
tion.” M. was walking a short dis
tance in advance nnd did not know
what was up, (or rather down.) “Do
come back,” I cried “we are in a

Laughter. What under tho moou arc
you laughing at ? “At you, did you
think you were gone ?” Such a lime I
did have freeing myself from that cart-
wreck. Some light nrlicles fell be
tween the puncheons’ (this took place
on the bridge,) and flouted merrily
down stream. We did not have more
than a mile to go, so fixed up cart and
bags the best wc could.

comes, borne on the breeze, and is, to
my listening ear, music sweeter than
ever floated from an Atolian Harp,
played upon by the winds of heaven.
It says “welcome home, mother, all is

Took Refuge in a Log.
The romancer of the Detroit Press
talks as follow:
44 A Detroiter named Andrew Steed-
man, who buys cattle, deales in hides,
and occasionally makes a dollar by
buying and selling produce, went to
Nankin township a few days ago to
buy a span of heavy horses which was
wanted by a firm in the city. Upon
reaching the farmers house, he fouud
that the man was working with
neighbor a mile away. To save the
distance he cut across lots, but was
warned before he started to look out
for a savage bovine widen had the run
of a ten acre field. Thinking how
he was going to get the span of hordes
for 250 less than their value, Steed
man kept plodding through the field,
which had a strip of bushes two or
three rods wide running across it.
There was a few stumps and logs,
and one small tree, hut nothing which
prevented any one from crowing the
strip. The Detroiter was about ten
rods trom the hushes when he heard
a distant thunder sound, and looked
around to see which way the shower
was coming. About thirty rods away
he beheld the old bovine coming lor
him, head down, hack up, aud eyes
blazing. Steedman was satisfied that
be was the man who was wanted aud
he went for the hushes. He thought
the bull would stop and run around
the strip and was startled when the
ole fellow dashed through them on his
trail, uttering a deep boom,
stant. Steedman dodzed this
that, but
him,
was not over
to the tog
orifice about
enough to be roomy,
