the counter, with a beautiful blonde, who, to
add to her numerous other attractions, was an

Not s thousand miles from Loons Place re
sides a widow lady unincumbered with children,
and quite comfortably shoaled In regard to this
world’s coods. Bbe moves in the very beet of
society in that wealthy and aristocratic neigh
borhood, and with her resides her neioe, Clara
, the beautiful bloods with whom cur
friend Charley became enamored.
But the old lady, having higher aspirations
than a Clark's best spool thread—500 yard's
artilleryman for her neioe, peremptorily for
bade that young lady'a holding intercourse with
Charley.
As Clara U dspeodent npon her and, she, of
oonrae, appeared to aoqnlesoe in these ambition*
donign*, bnt at the name time regiatered a vow
to her looking glna* that no one in the world
should ever anpplant the dapper yard stick man
in her maiden heart. An it would not answer
So offend her wealthy relative, however, tbe
young oonpie indulged in clandestine meetings ;
sometime* at the house of a mutual friend, on
Pino street, and sometimes (when the old Isdy
whn attending prayer meeting; at Tiara's borne.
They swore eternal lovo on those occasions;
vowed that persecutions should never separate
them, and should tbe worst come to tbe worst,
a crust of bread, a brown stone pitcher (with
hands on both sides like they have at Ben De
Bim'y filled with crystal fluid from the bubbling
spring, sod a dry goods box on oue end some*
where in the vicinity of Kirkwood, wonld be
transmogrified into a palace of peace and plenty,
saored forever to their undying love.
One afternoon reoently, Charley received a
note from Clara, stating that her relative would
that evening attend prayer meeting.
The Intimation was enough, and 8 o’clock saw
the young ooupie seated upon the sofa in her
aunt * library, billing and cooing in the regular
orthodox turtle-dove style. LUUe Charley,
lured oo by tbe witoborie* of love, beoamo per
fectly “immense." He wouud an arm about
her waist and vowed that her form was “sylph
like." lie toyed with her long golden ringlet)
sod likened them to “truant sunbeam*;" with
n *«iw other remarks to the effect that heaven
dourest gift to her sox was a “ wealth of bright
golden hair." Then when she blushed he swore
the roses had been robbed, and when she
smiled, that her ilps wore rnby portals to
rahkot of pearls. (By oaskot he probably re
/erred to that orifice in tbe hnman oonntenanoe
nsnslly termed the month, and the pearls
spokeu of were undoubtedly the teeth.)
Iudoed, ho talked so nioo, and she fed npon
his glowing words with such a rolish, that the
old lady was rattling away at the door, as though
the honse was on fire, full five mlnatos before
tin* absorbed lovers heard her.
*' Great heavens l my aunt!" exclaimed
Clara.
Charley grew a trifle pale, and mattering an
lntcrjcotion or two pertaining to the front end
of s mill pond.
It appears the oid lady having reached the
plsco of prayer, found the meeting opixootio'd,
or postponed, and consequently after some
111tie chat with a neighbor or two had rotnrned
homo at this most inoportnne moment.
What was to bo done? Not a closet or nook
invitod retreat, and there Charley stood and
wished that he was a mileage or stationery bill,
so that he oonld pass the honse, or member of
the Legislature, or some other dreadful feature
of modern civilisation.
At last s brilliant idea occurred to his lady*
love. In the oornor of tbo library lay a bundle
of oarpet that had been brooght to the honse
that day to returnisn me anting room, nod
having been duly inspected by the ladies was
temporarily left In a tumbled hoap in the
corner.
A hasty explanation took plaoe, and then
Charley entombed himself beneath the mass
with a fervid vow that he would die for her sake
were it necessary, and Clara then admitted her
aunt.
That relative was not well pleased at being
kept no long on the door step, and sharply de
mamled what had become of the set rants.
“I sent them to bed, dear aunt, so that
might have the pleasure of remaining up for
your return—but I fell asleep," innocently re
marked the girl.
This loving explanation somewhat appeased
the old lady, who, after warming herself, walk
ed over to tbe bundle of carpet, and picking up
a corner, wondered how it would look by gas
Until.
Clara hastened to assure her that It would not
look nioe at all, in faot she was ao oonfldent of
it that her aunt need not go to the trouble of
undoing it
The old lady poudared over the staff for a
few moments, while her nleoe sat trembling np
on the sofa, and little Charley felt that the
world might come to an immediate end, and
not annoy him a partiole by the suddenness of the
change.
At last, however, the crisis passed, for with
some new idea entering her head, the old lady
tnrned and remarked that ahe was “tired to
death," and plumped her two hundred and fifty
pounds avoirdupois npon the heap, and little
Charley assumed the shape of a pan cake. He
would have groaned, but did not have wind
enough left for the purpoee
A little shriek from Clara attraeted the old
lady's attention to her nieee.
“Why, you are all dressed up to night"
“Yes, aunt dear," replied Clara, mentally
conjecturing bow Charley felt in hie pressed oat
condition.
• “Yes," returned the other, “you look very
well, only rather pale. Are you sick f"
“I—I don't feel very well," answered ner
niece, ailently consigning her relative to Chi
oago, or some other wieked place.
“I'm sore yon dou't when you will lioe up so
tight my dear," affectionately remarked the in
corrigible old lady.
“I don't!" faintly repudiated Clara, while
little Charley .rasped the nkin of one of bis ears
in trying to quietly twist his head in a position
where he might distinctly hear anything of in
terest
“You dou't l you do; and at roar time of life
it is positively preposterous. If you was
• young, giddy girl It would be different; but for
a person of your age— r ‘
“Oh, aunt!"
Charley barked some more skin off and be
came decidedly interested.
"No, there’s no O annt about it," continued
tbe inoorngiblh, savagely oscillating her hand.
“You sometimes sot more like s silly school
girl than a woman whe has seen twenty-six
years of h!**.*'
"I haven’t!" And Charley put his mouth in
shape for a whistle, but it was immediately d it-
teoed out by a restive boonoe of the old lady's.
“You haven't?" “Why, yei you have, and
nearly twenty seven! Why, what in the world
ails the gal ? What are you whimpering about,
Clara?
“My—my head aches. Fleaee don’t talk,”
begged her nieee, not quite positive as to the
effect her deoMon might have on the young
martyr under her annt.
“Your head aehes, does it ? Well no wonder,
wearing all that mass of hair on the back of
your head is enoogh to make it sobs. What
nonsense it is when there la no one to aee yon.
besides, it is positively making you bald-
headed !"
“I’m not!” vigorously responded the voung
lady. burylug her f.os in her hand*. as aba
thought of all the nioe thing, the follow under
the oarpet had bean .tying.
“You are not! Yoa you ora. There* a bald
■pot on the top of your bead the size of my
hand:" and the old Udy extended a palm In if
lutration. “Now, what in the world arj you
orylng about, Cara ? Saksa alive nleoe, you’ll
cry youreelf (ick, and then you'll not be able to
Viiil the dentiet tomorrow."
“ Bother the dentiet! Do, keep still, aunt 1"
cried Clara, while Charley tried to eerstoh hie
head, and had hi* arm nearly dialooated by a
few reetlem more* of the old Udy as she indig-
nantly reprimanded her nleoe lor her disre-
apeetful petulaney.
“ It was your own wish to go to the dentist's,
Clara; you know It was You said that aet
hurt yout mouth, and you wanted—Goodnem
gracious ? What under heaven does ail tbs
girl ?" For Clara nad darted out of ths room
with a cry of smothered rage sod
leaving her relative to boonoe up and down on
the pile of oarpet la sheer astonishment until

The Mery si ledgets.
One of our family papers preaches a strong
temperance sermon, by simply telling the story
•f a woman who, after straggling with the pre
ternatural strength of e loving wife and mother
for years against the demo* of drink that
paeeneed her hnsbaod, eocqerred it, and made
him oooe again a freeman. In his last ill non,
brandy was prescribed, which he was strong
enough to nee only ee a medicine; but efter
bis death she “ turned to it in her grief, and
died not matij months later, a hopeless, helpless
drunkard.
Let MislJt wwpeaios story ee true re this,
but of as different a oomplexion as daylight to
night. A few years ego on any sunny morning
a heap of filthy rags might be seen stretched on
some of tbe bales of a paper warehouse in e
neighboring city, with a strong smell of stale
tobaooo and whisky hanging about iL Turning
it over (which you could do aa though it were s
log, aoy time after 10 o'olock in tbe morning),
yoa wonld fiad the swollen purple fees of what
had onoe been a handsome young mao, but
there was little hope that the bleared eyes or
thiok tongue would give so intelligent answer.
The porters passing by would push him aside,
bat not roughly. The time had been when he
bed been e jelly, generous young fellow and a
favorite iu the office. “Young Lodgerseome
one would give yon hia history in five minutes :
“Taken to ram—uoohanoe—poor devil. Stokes
(the proprietor) oonld not torn him oat to starve,
so still gave him s nominal salary and suffered
him to hang about the house leet be should
take to worse ooeraea than drinking." There
were hints, too, of s widowed mother, away off
in the oouutry, who had keen dependent on him,
sad a sweetheart, a pretty, clinging little girl,
both of whom long ago be had abandoned. Bat
there was nothing to be done. The end, through
tbe usual horrors of deleriom tremens, was ap
parently not far off,
One diy, aa Lodgers was creeping to tic
nearest bar for hia morning bittern, a man,
whom be barely knew by sight, took him by
the elbow and walked with him into a quieter
street. “They tell me you are Uichard liodg
era's non," be said. “Dick Lodgers was the
only friend I had for years, and for his take I’d
like to save his boy. Are you willing for
try?" “Oh, you can try," mutter'd the lad
with an imbecile laugh. Tills nameless friend,
nothing daunted, took him to a chamber in bis
own house and pat him to bed. Tb6re he and
his sons kept watch and guarded this poor wretch
for months, like a prisoner, keeping liquor from
him, and trying to supply it by medical treat
ment. A physician he employed, but he was
not able to pay for a nurse. Any one who has
had to deal with a victim of mania-a potn can
guess how difficult and loathsome a task he had
sot himself. Ungrateful enough it was at first,
for Lodgers struggled against his torment.',r-t
with the ferocity of—jnst what he was—a
starving animal. As reason begun to return
aid his unnatural strength to vanish, be
would beg ttem in his intervals of reason
not to fail him, bnt to work out the experiment
either to success or death. “It is uiy las’,
chance," he would cry; “for God’s s«ke bo pa
tient." This friend, with bfa son, did work it
out through all tbe foul, unmentionable details,
and the end was not death, hot sucoet*. “How
soon," asked a friend of Lodgers afterwards,
“were yon trusted alone?" “Not for two yr ara,"
be answered, laughing. “I was out of jail but
in jail bounds. Do you remember that lank,
funicular young fellow had a desk beside me iu
tbe office ? He took It with the condition that
he oonld leave it to dog mo night and day,
my meals and to my bed. That was the son
tbe mao who saved me. He was taken from
lucrative situation in ord< r that be might be
ootne my jAiler. God bless him ! now I used
to onrse him! 'Can't you trust my honor ?’
would cry. I'm not convinced that your honor
has not the consumption,’ the Scot oh-Irishman
would a ay. “We'll put no burdens oa it until
it has regained its health."'
'* Your friend was a wealthy man, no doubt,
and so able to give both time and money
your case?" “ On tbe contrary, he is but the
owner of a small hat-store, and supports his
family out of that. He is rich or noble only
io tbe deed and spirit of friendship." All
this was years ago. Lodgers is now sn in
dnstrion*, honorable man, married to his old
love, with his gray-haired mother by his hearth
bringing to it the perpetual benediction of be
nignant old age. His friend soils hats—makes
no speeches nor bruit of any sort in tho
world. Nobody has recognized in him a hero.
Yet, who for tbo sake of a dead or living
friend wonld go and do likewise ?—JV r <» York

Labor Revolution.—The strikes among farm
laborers in Great Britain are threatening to
leave many erops nnharveeted this snmmer and
tbe ooming antnmn. An Edinburgh paper
says: “The matter is now assuming a very
grave form to the eommnnity generally, and If
the bitterness of strife oontinnes—if the corn
be allowed to lie waste npon the ground—in
spile of free trade, the industrious classes may
expect to have to pay double the prioc for their
loaf, and meat will rise altogether beyond tbeir
metna." A remarkable revolution has fallen
on the struggling industry of Europe, the end
of which no one oan foresee. With famine may
eome the breaking np of large landed estates,
the extinetion of the Honse of Lords, and the
old laws of entail and primogeniture.
