Miss Lucille Lafourn. He inquired
after the old gent’s boalth very af
fectionately, and soon became quite
engrossed, apparently, in the con
versation that was started, but se
cretly he was eyeing his intended
bride, and he confessed to himself
that the enthusia stic description he
hnd given to hia friend Ralph did
not belie her, or scarcely do her
justice. Just then the door opened,
and a graceful young Jaiiy, with a
great'abundance of golden curls
nnd very largo eyes walked in:
“ My niece, Miss Lee, Mr. Gow
er,” observed Mr. Lsifoum, and Miss
Lee acknowledged it witli a slight
but nevertheless graceful bow.
Mr. Gower was enraptured, and
the contrast only made his brie'e
expectant more ridiculous; howev-
ho determined to act l>is part,
go away and commence the prac
tice of my profession if you will on
ly give me hope.”
Nellie looked at her father
through her blushes. .
“ But I would be a penniless
bride."
*• And all the dearer! If you
are not worth working for you are
not worth having.”
“If then,” she resumed slyly,
“ you wait a year nnd do not chango
your mind, if uncle is willing—”
“ Winch he will be,” interrupted
the gentleman.
The ruse was still kept up. Mr.
Lafourn gave him letters of intro
duction to several influential
friends; he went away and set up
work in earnest. For a whilo he
wns unsuccessful; at last Ids talents
began to t>e appreciated, and lie was
and as a chance presented itself, he on a fair road to prosperity. At the
whispered in modulated tones to [ end of the year, he wrote and tolit
Miss Lucille that he “ho]icd to be
come better acquainted with her,"
though lie hated himself for it a
moment after, when he saw Miss
Leek mischief-loving eyes resting
upon him, and realized that she
had heard him, too.
Day after day he called and pro
portionally lie fell in love with
laughing Nell and fell out with
Miss I.ucille, while she became, in
npjienrauce, desperately enamored
of him, uiid wrote him poetry by
the sheet, expressing ‘everlasting
affection,’ winch he arsine.I Ids
friend Ralph, she meant to mean
tin: oldness of her love, for lie was
Mr. Lafourn how he had succeeded
nnd nsked if he would have any
objections to his wedding taking
place then. IIo returned, and
when he arrived, found his Nellie
prettier than ever. Mr. Lafourn
said nothing, and Bert wondered
ut Ids giving sucli a cosily wedding
to his niece; but wtien he, ns the
bride's fattier, gave her away, lie
wns dumb-founded. As soon as
tile ceremony was over, lie I ashed
to Ids father- in-lmv.
“ What does this mean ?”
“ It means you Imve married my
daughter, sir.” responded the hap
py parent, “and we have been de-
ark.
In vain lie tried to make love to
Nell. She accepted do attentions
from ’tier cousin’s lover,’ so she
mockingly assured him, nod left
him more despairing thim before.

H *. P.U.C. HARRYING A FORTUNE.
“ Yes, I’ll do it, Ralph, even if
she is a scraggy, worthless, hairless,
dried-up, yellow, vinegnr-fnced old
maid. I’ll marry her; or, rather,
hor fortune,” and so saying he
leaned himBelf back in his chair,
and commenced pulling away os
coolly at his cigar as though mar
rying were the most common
place, uninteresting affair ever
dreamed of.
“You speak quite confidently,
young man,” returned his compan
ion. “Perhaps the lady in ques
tion won’t have you. Don’t be too
conceited, if you have been called
irresistible.”
“ Fiddlesticks I I guess my un
cle’s fortune was tho most irresisti
ble part to the New York belles,
and I am certain, now that my
‘great expectations' have passed
away, there isn't two of them who
ever remember associating with
me. I tell yon, Ralph, love is all
moonshine—a mcro creature of the
fancy—for I have never seen a girl
yet that could set my heart a j>al-
pitnting. Money is wiint a poor
briefless lawyer wants—not love;
it’s a deal more substantial, too.”
“ Don’t doubt it; hut I wouldn’t
be tied to an old vixen for any
consideration,” responded Ralph,
“nnd in my opinion, iinrt, you are
a fool if you heave you.self away.
There now, that advice is tree grut-
no fee nsked—only do tell me
the whole story.”
“ 1 can do that in a few words.
About a week ago I saved a fine
looking but gouty old gentleman
from being upset out of his car
riage on Broadway. He was pro
fuse in his thanks, learned my
nauie, and said lie knew me by
reputation; told mo lie was wealthy, j
witli hut one child, a daughter, nnd any longer, and accordingly sought
if I would come down to Sea View, I an interview with Mr. I jifonrn.
where he intended to |pass a few “.So you come to propone for my
weeks, he would make a mutch be-! daughter, Mr. Gower?” queried
tween me and her. I modestly: the gentleman, when lie was ush-
suggested that the lady in question' ered in.
might object, but lie insisted tliutj “ No, sir, I lutve not,” he oiuphatr j pushed his way up, anil now is
she could not—she was devoted to; ieully returned. “ I have come to \ ollfi „f the most intiueiitinl men of
him nnd heart-whole. There it is,’ make a confession, to ask your for-' times, whicli he always avers is
verbatim. 1 thou mule inquiries giveness and crave a Imhiii. Yuu> more due to Nellie’s stratagem than
of a friend iis to what kind of u '
girl Mr. Isifoiirn’s daughter wns,
and lie told me she was a scraggy
old limit). I have her in my mind’s
eye, but it's no drawback. I’ll
marry for money, and let her af
terwards take to her cats, just the
same ns she does now. That's all.
1 am too lazy to work.” And he
reinjised into a profound silence,
wondering secretly what time on
the morrow Mr. Ixtfuurn and
daughter would arrivo.
“There, papa, you dear old
goose, listen to the description of
j our Nell,” exclaimed pretty little
Nellie Lafourn, arranging tiie cur
tains so that the old gcntlemnn
could overhear the conversation on
tho piazza between the two young
gentleman just mentioned.
“ Confound his impudence,”
growled the old nmn, in a rage,
bringing his cane down lustily; “I’d
like to see him get my darling, the
heartless wretch, and my money,
even if he has got you mixed up
with your aunt LuciUo I”
Slightly mixed up, isn’t it, pa?
But after all how much the picture
is like her,” and she burst into a
merry laugh, that caused a dozen
dimples to play hide and seek
around her checks and lips.
He may be blessed I I'll send
for him this moment, nnd 111—111
cane him I” almost shouted the
irate old gentleman.
No, indeed, you won’t pa—you
let me manage him, won’t you?—

“ You have taken the conceit out

terposcii Mr. Lifourn. Bart blush

and I know I cannot hut be lower

“ Yes, sir, exactly so, and I am
willing, if she will have me, to give
up ail ideas of wealth obtained by
such mean practice, and go away
and work bravely for her. Do you
think there ia any hope? Will you
forgive me?” “Certainly,” he res
ponded, “ I should not want my
dnughter wedded to any man from
such mercenary motives. I’ll call
Nell and see what she says.” And
suiting the action to the word, ho
summoned Nellie.
“ This gentleman has withdrawn
his claims to your cousin's liand,”
he observed, taking Nellie by the
hand, “and actually hostile audac
ity to ask for yours, what shall I
tell him ?"
“ And I am poor, Nellie,” ejacu-

It's What You Spend.
“ It’s what thec’ll spend, my son,"
said a sage old Quaker, “not whnt
tncc'll make, which will decide
whether thce’s to be rich or not.”—
The advice was trite, for it wns
Franklin's in anothershape: “Tnkc
care of tho |iciieo and the pounds
will take care of themselves.” But
it cannot he too often rejieated.—
Men aro continually indulging in

selves it’s only a triflo, yet forget

Bow Much is a Hone Power?
This question is frequently
asked: What is understood by
horse power, and why came that
way of reckoning to be adopted
and brought into general use? Be
fore tho power of steam was gene'r-
ally known and applied to mechan
ical purposes, horses were used to
raise coal and other heavy bodies.
Mr. Moots, in Ms experiments,
carefully conqiared the relative
power of the different breeds of
horses, and found its average equal
to raising 33,000 pounds one foot
per minute, or whnt is equivalent,
to raise 330 pounds 100 feet, or 100
pounds 330 feet, during that space
of time, when attached to a lever or
sweep of given length. This aftcr-
wnnl become the standard of meas
uring power or force applied to me
chanical purposes, and which is
still rctainod in common use.
A Water Haul.
When the circus wns in Augusta,
n couple of “fekirs” yanked Bill
Moore into an alley, and while one
snt down on him, the other, with
calm deliberation, proceeded to
tnkc an inventory of his personal
effects. Bill was so intensely flat
tered by the robbery thnt he made
no resistance, while fakir No. 2
plunged down shoulder deep into
liis pockets. When the fakir re
turned, he brought out one hme,
dilapidated fine-tooth comb. After
one long, doubtful look at his cap
ture, he laid it gently on the ground
and rose to his feet.
