The Dutchman's Cider, — Not long:
■since there lived in the small village oh
B , in tlwSta'c of Pennsylvania, a
phlegmatic ole Dutchman, who was fa
mous for niaki g the best eider in the
neighborhood, and wag equally famous for
ikeepugit; and yet, no person except
thims ls and family, had been permit'.ed to
•taste the ‘good stuff.’ At last one of his
near neighbors taw'd ‘lre was bound to taste
it. Accordingly he went to the Dutch
man's house, and entered into conversa
tion wit li him,-concerning tiie crops, &c ,
and by degrees led him to speak of his
cider. He tlirn said to him ;
■'l undetstand you make very good ci
der ?’
‘Yaw,’ rcplmd the Dutchman ; ‘Hans,
my boy go and bring a mug ftill.’
Hans soon returned with the mng
.brimming tut!, and handed it to the
Dutchman, who drained it to the bottom
in one draught ; then, turning to his as
tonished visitor, said :
‘Dore now, if you dsb not dink dat
good cider tost you schmell of de mug!’
.An apothecary's boy was lately sent to

fowls were astonished at reading the ac

3. Domestic otorg.
From the Boston Olive Branch.
Cora’s Miserable Day,
*,You’ll be sorry, Cora, for speaking
; so—coine, take back that cruel word.”
“Never ; you provoked me to it, and
I meant it, besides. I wish it, with all
my heart.”
‘ That we were not married ?”
r with nil my heart exclaimed
I the petted creature, looking as fierce as
e she knew how But, terrible little fury
j that she looked, her husband could not
forbear a smile, that mode her ten times
more angry, and she now declaied she
downright hated him.”
* “Come, Cora, put an end to this. Pm
heartily sorry I provoked you—come—
kiss and make up. No ? Very well, but
i remember, Cora, you will be sorry for
treating ine so unkindly. We know not
what a day may bring forth. Suppose
you never see me again ?”
•‘No danger,” she replied, half turning
away with a t-auey toss of her little head.
“Chickens are not the only things that
come home to roust.’’
j The young man with a look of sudden
i tinker, seized his hat and left the house.
“Jf this be wedded happiness,” muttered
he between his - teeth, “either poetry or
, the law is to blame ; I’m in a fair way to
i find out which, anyhow.”
Cora sat down, thoroughly miserable.
Reflection but increased her unhappiness,
, for she knew she had said too much. She
knew how priceless was the love she had
won - she knew that every pulse of that
generous heart beat but for her. Bhe
had but to lift her eyes, and the tokens
of his lavish love rebuked her. Only yes
terday, he had sent her a little note, so
lover-like, with a beautiful present of the
very book she wished for above all others.
’ And she had been cruel to him for a thing
i so trifling—a mere contradiction—a puff
i of empty air.
W earily die slow hours of the morning
passed. More titan once had the tears
come to her eyes, and dimmed the embroid
ery upon her lap, when his parting words
recurred—“suppose you should never see
me again ”
Such things have happened,” she mur
mured, and then she checked the great
sob with the thought,—“he will forgive
me. His noble heart cannot hold anger
long—besides dinner is almost ready, I
shall see hill) soon —and maybe I—yes, I
will ask his pardon.”
So she sprang up from her work, bath
ed her eyes, twisted a flower in the folds
of her hair, tied on a pretty white apron
and looking the very picture of a rosy,
domestic little wife, hurried down stairs
to put a finishing touch to the arrange
ments for dinner.
One o’clock— and no husband. It was
too bad. The roast was done to a turn,
and this day of all others the “Irish pra
ties” were just as ho loved them—as white
and mealy us if Saint Patrick had blessed
them himself.
Half an hour she waited with commen
dable patience, but when the little kitch
en clock hud whirred two, and no hus
band, no message came, Cora told Molly
to eat her dinner, and she left the table
to hurry to her room, and like a foolisit
woman, sit down to weep.
And then she would dash the tears from
her eves. “She was’t going to make a
foul of herself just for him. He shouldn’t
know she had felt bud a bit,” and up went
the cologne to her red eyes that two mi
nutes a'ter were as full of water as ever.
“1 won’t go over to the office foF him,
that I won’t,” she muttered, at the sanja
time going straight after her bonnet and
shawl for that particular purpose. “He
thinks 111 be sorry, he knows I always
m ; but he shan’t see it this time ; just
j as il J became Mrs. Harry Gates to sub
j mit to all his whims and caprices.”
Ah, Cora ! why trembles your voice,
: little worn in r Because you have caught
| the full glance from that deep, dark eye,
looking reproof even from the canvass,
upon your naughty thoughts and actions.
Did he ever seem handsomer than at this
moment ? nnbfe Harry J generous Har
ry ! frank Harry 1 with a big heart brim
ful of love.
, Cora's uncertain steps took the way to
the office, just from habit. The little
; place looked lonesome ; nobody there but
Jerry O’Miles, the errand-boy, who sat
kicking the counter w ith his heels,
WVt.l Horry hadn’t been there at all
since last night i Cora’s heart beat
quit ker than it had for mauy a day. Had
he left no message ?
“Durrao,” said the boy, with his queer
grey eyes blinking in Cora’s face. “Dun
no, for mecster Lane he’s d9 ue and gone
too, sense dinner.”
Cora hurried home, and sat down with
, her hands covering her face. She felt
j ni'.sergbjy. Her tnorning-’s words and ac
tions come like uneasy ghosts before her.
“I told him that curses , like chickens,
always came home to roost, and he never
answered me. I have jusi giisJ) Joit-
I I ter things a greajt many* times, and now
! r crba P*. & hate: me. Oh f I wish this

temper was broken within me. Ilarry is
too good for me, and I hud to tell him 1
wished we •vefe not married.”
From below came up the click of the
tea dishes: She remembered, now, that
she had given Molly permission to go out
this evening, and what if she mast stay
alone in horrible uncertainty! But Harry
certainly would be home to supper ; he
couldn't be so cruel.
The cuter door slammed, and Molly’s
retreating form grew beautifully less as
she half ran down the street.
Tea was ready to pour out; and there
sat Cora, alone. Aml alone she seemed
destined to be, for the gloomy twilight
deepened, the dark came down, the street
lamps were lighted at the corners, the
tramp of feet grew unevenly silent.
It did no good to read, or think ; and
yet thoughts most awfully suggestive
would come. She paced the floor saying
all kinds of incoherent things. She pio
tured him brought to the door dripping
in the slime of the river ; she saw him in
the deep woods, hanging under some sa
cred old tree. She tried to feel how it
would seem if he had left her forever, and
her attitudes were full of wild and helpless
sorrow, as she started forward at the light
w ing of a drowsy fly ; or wrung her
hands in the very abandonment ot grief.
Fancies the most extravagant possess
ed her. At one time she determined to
fly through the streets and ask of every
passer-by if he had seen her Harry ? and
then she would sink upon the couch weep
ing like a child.
“I shall never, never, never see him
Rgftin, It was a prophecy ; something
has happened to Harry ; oh, he is dead,
dead, and I cannot even ask hitn to for
give me.”
Hark ! something sounded on her ear
wonderfully little like a dead man’s voice.
A sharp click and the outer door was
thrown open with the peculiar swing.—
Then up came heavy steps that rapidly
neared her chamber.
“Well done ! my little lady ! are you
up yet ? then stopping short, s Cora’s
motionless form anti bloodless face met
hitn with astrai gdJMconip—“why, what
tl|f dogs—you’ve been frightened, Coro ”
The poor child sprang forward into his
arms, as she cried liyaterncally—“oh ! I
thought you was dead, I thought I should
ueyep behold you again.”
“Now is it possible ?” said Harry, after
his wife had told him all, “that blunder
ing Irishman never came here 1 why, I
sent a note, tc)dng you I was going over
to Hoboken on business, and shouldn’t be
home till ten. And you didn’t get it ?”
“No—and I have spent such a miserable
day,” s id Cora, half inclined to be hys
terical again—“l have seen you killed in
all manner of horrid ways—and—”
“And now you know I’m here safe
and sound—pci haps it’s as well after all
—for maybe you won’t tejl me aguiu that
—you— ”
He hadn’t the heart to say another
word, for poor Cora’s eyes were swim
ming ; besides, just then in came Molly,
her homely face frightened all over, say
ing, as she held up the missing r.ote, “an’
to think 1 should be afther kapin what
didn’t belong to ntescjf. But Denigan
brought it, and plaze, you know Denigan
is—is—”
“Yes, we know all about it. Yog
thought it was a love-letter, eh ? and car
ried jt to your friends to read it for you
—didn’t you ?”
“Bliure, sir, and I’m obleeged to ye for
helping me out of that it’s jist
that same I did.”
“Well, Molly, all I have to say is, don’t
try that experiment again ; and Cora,
next lime I send you a note, I’ll take care
not to seiact one of Molly’s loyers. Come
love, Gheer up—it’s taught us both a les
son that we may profit by, always to think
before speaking, and ueyer to act without
caution.”
And so, as the sjjn sometimes sinks red
and glowing after storms, ended Cora’s
miserable day,
Tosmo U r for a Prink —A poor,
half-starved Irish woman, possessed of but
three cents with which to buy either a
loaf of bread or a drink, determined to

Advertising for a Wife.
Harry Alleuby was, in every sense of
the word, a fast young man. That is to
■stay, he drank hard—played high—was up
to everything in the way of merriment
and fun, and considered it his bounden
duty to spend as much money as he
could squeeze nut of the old governor, as
he dutifully called his father. Yet Hnr
ry was a good-hearted fellow, though he
was now sowing his wild oats, and his
mother would assure her husband that lie
in his yoaag days, was quite as bad be
fore she married him ; “ but then,” she
said, with a sigh, “ poor Ilarry may no,t
be so fortunate in Ins choice of a wife as
you was. Ah, there’s not many women
in the world like me now-a-days.” and
the old lady would finish off with a growl
ing catalogue of her hundred and one
virtues, while he, poor old gentleman,
would hide Ids diminished head behind a
newspaper.
But this morning Harry was not in his
nsdal spirits. Something unpleasant had
disturbed him, for lie sat in a listless atti
tude, his arms crossed over bis head, and
his heels considerably higher than the
aiantlepiece.
“ What is fd pay, old boy ?” said Phil
ip Claytoq, one of Harry’s firm friends,
us he entered the room and noticed the
rueful expression on that young gentle
ntaq’s countenance “ What’s to pay ?”
“Oh, my dear fellow,” said Harry,
“I’ve just had a scene with the old gov
ernor, and he refuses to pay any more of
my debts, or to furnish uie with one cent
of cash He says I must work fqr it as
he did. Heigho, I cannot tp)l hovy the
old gentleman got such a strange idea
into his head. YVotk, indeed! lt’§ ri
diculous, isn’t il ?”
“ Ah, well, never tniiul, Harry, I'm in
luck, and will lentl you ns much as you
want. So cheer up, my boy. I tell you
what it is, you want a little excitement
to drive away the blues. What do yon
say to advertising for a wife ?”
j “Hqrrah! 11l do it,” said Harry,
I springing to his feet. “ Let's go to work.”
Alter spine consideration Harry wrqte
the following lines ;
“A gentleman possessed of considera
ble property is anxious to meet with a
young lady, tall, graceful and accomplish
ed ; age from eighteen to twenty-five
I 0 a lacy qf this description he offers his
hand, heart and fortune. It is well tp
say that the gentleman Is of medium
height, possesses dark eyes and black
hair, and is a very agreeable companion
Address to M. W., Box No. 3, Post Of
fice, Baltimore.”
“ That’s it,” said Philip. “Now we’ll
he off, and have it inserted in three of she
leading [tapers.”
We must leave our two friends for a
short time, and introduce our readers to
the beautiful heiress, Isabel Montague,
who, seated in an elegant boudoir, is in
earnest conversation with her cousin Ems
ily Carlton.
“ Oh, Bell, do answer tj)is advertise
ment, just for fun,” sgid Emily- “ The
poor fellow is jn want of x a wife. Tell
him you are an heiress, twenty-three
years of age, and miserably plain looking;
that your hair is so red ull tiie flattery of
your friends caupot persuade you it is au
burn. At the same time, say that you
possess a sweet voice and a warm, loving
heait, and sign your name Lilhe (J. The
letters can fie addressed to tiie care of
my o[d nnrsc=-we can call at the cottage
for them, yon know- I declare it will bg
quite an adveptuye.”
“Well,” said Isabel, ‘* J will answer
it ; but might I not as well put my real
age —sixteen 1”
“ No, put twenty-three ; never tell the
truth in these matters, Bell.”
Accordingly, the note was written,
sealed and dispatched to its destination,
and our fair friends anxiously awaited the
result.
“ Hurrah, Harry, hurrah !” said Phil
ip Clayton, as he bonpped into Hurry’s
room without ceremony, Hpre’s three
answers to the advertisement. We’ll
toss up, and see which is to be opened
first. Ah, this one,” and they read Isa
bel’s note.
“ i say, what delicate writins, Phil ;
and as to her plain looks, that’s all a ruse.
I dare say she’s as lovely as an angel.—
Ah, Lillie, sweet Lillie, you’re the girl
for me.”
“ Now, don’t be in such haste, Harry.
Ttiere’s two other letters yet ”
1 hey read them, but the writing look
ed worse, compared with Lillie’s, and they
decided upon corresponding with her, and
taking 110 notice of the others.
“I’lJ answer it right away,” said Har
ry, and in the course of half an hour he
handed the foflpwipg note to Philip for
inspection t
Dear Lillie : I received your note in
reply to my advertisement, and shall feel
happy to make your acquaintance at the
earliest possible opportunity. You spoke
l of baviug rod hair, I assure you I con
; sider that no detriment, and in looking
’ jjr a wife ; think ©ore qf a cultivated udud
than personal beuntv. The beauty and
delicacy of the writing convince ute tnat
in you I shall find an accomplished and
agreeable companion. Hoping yon will
have an early opportunity for our meet
ing, I remain,
Yours, very respectfully, M. W.
TRabef and Emily laughed heartily on
the reception of this note, and feeling de
termined to carry out the joke, Isabel
wroto the following reply :
“ Lillie Q. felt ranch pleasure in receiv
ing Mr. W.’s kind note, awl things if
probable she will Icuva hiffl very dearly, as
indeed she almost does already, and will
appoint a place for meeting, upon the
satisfactory answer to the three follow
ing questions : 1
“ What religion does Mr W. profess ?
Is he sober, and does he love company ?
She would also like to know his real name,
as she feels a delicacy in correspo.qding
with a stranger.” ‘
The note was dispatched and satisfac
torily answered. The correspondence
continued regularly for three weeks, wheq
Isabel agreed to meet Harry at flip resi
dence of Emily’s nursp, stipulating, how
ever, that she should remain veiled.
All that eventful day the young ladies
were very busy instructing a tall black
girl in the part she was to play that even
ing. They dressed Iter handsumely, and
covering qp her hands anti arms, and fas
tening 011 tt thick grecq veil, they walked
slowly to the cottage, arriving there a
short time before the gentleman did.
In about half an hour Harry arrived
and wished to see Miss Lillie. Isabel
and Emily whispered a lass injunction to
Dinah, and hqstily hid themselves behind
a screen. Harry bowed low as he enter
ed the parlor, and the lady pqt out her
delicately gloved hand, which he sqneez
ed with the greatest ent'nqsiasiq. He tried
tq converse with hey, but thought her
unreasonably shy, as she tqade no reply
to his fine speeches. At last fio said :
“ Lillie, dear Lillie, remqve tfint envi
ous veil, and let me gaze qpqn yogr love
ly counteqtnce.”
But she grasped it sti)l tighter-.
“ Nay, dearest,” lie said, ai(<j hastily
tearing it asjfie, he imnrinte4 a kiss upon
ficy check-
Dinah broke out in the laugh peculiar
to her race, and hastily made her exit,
locking the door after her, and a loud
silvery laugh rang out from behind the
screen Mo rushed hastjly tq the door tfi
make fiis escape, bqt found it Ipcked; and
turnin<r to the window saw to his amaze
ment Emily and Isabel. Ho was fairly
caught, for he had often met them at
balls in Baltimore, and they knew h' 11 !
well.
“ How do you do, Mr Allenby ?” said
Isabel, whije a rpguisfi light twinkled in
her dark eyes. “We did not the
pleasure of meeting you here ”
“ Oil,” said Emily, “ he came to see
Miss Dinah. VVhat made her run away
so soon. Mr, ?”
“ Indies,” said Harry, “ I beg you
will keep this secret, and not again n||pde
to my folly. I know you ope the origina
tors of this ludicrous scene—it is really
too bad of you ”
“ Itut, Mr. Allenby, we did not know
that you were advertising fqr a wife-rrwp
thought you possessed better sense.”
“ Well, it was a joke on my part, and
so I will forgive the jpfee on yours. Shall
I have the pleasure of yonp company to
the opera to-piorppw evening ?”
Efiiily was engaged, bpt tfie laughter
loving Isabel accompanied him ; and nev
pt had heard rqqsip with greater satisfac
tion than she did on that evening. Har
ry was an agreeable, well-informed maq,
and seemed to feol peculiar pleasure ip
the society of the beautiful hc'resg, while
she, with Iter mischievous freaks and wild
joyous spirits, felt jnprq pleasure in hav
ing Harry for an esport, than she did sq
any of flip other applications for her fa
vor-
Time passed on, and one fine morning
Harry offered her in reality his heart and
baud. He said nothing about his fortune,
mind, for he was not Doubled with much;
but she was rich, and did not care for a
ijch husband ; so Harry became her oc
cepted lover.

she interrogated the box-keeper,, th*)

“Do they tell us that \i *•

The other evcaing as she entered the*
