A little while His name was David Atwood, jattcr I went through the hall and He was a book-keeper, was plain nie ^ bun. ‘You have surprised and delight ed us with your performance, Mr. in dress, and evidently straitened in means. Ho had one of the smallest of Mrs. Hawley’s side rooms, spent all of his days and most of his evenings in the office where ho was employed, *never went to theatres or opera, and pos sessed not the slightest style of ( manner. j music. The others laughed at him—he, dlls ^ then was so sky, and awkward, and tinted by and went upstairs. I Atwood,’ I said. He smiled. ‘I learned to play to please a lit tle sick sister, 1 had once,’ he an swered. ‘Since she died I do not care to play much, although I love bashful. And Florence Cnstleton often joined (lie laugh, silvery; yet no one offered him any disrespect thought.she heard what he said. ‘Do you think she liked it?’ lie said, with amusing simplicity and Indeed, they all acknowledged him:directness but to be ‘a good young nmn, homely and awkward.’ Florence Castleton had a pretty voice for singing, and used to play upon a guitar, a beautiful one, in laid with pearl, which her guar dian had given her. One evening, after David At wood had resided in the house about six weeks, she brought it down into the parlor and sat down to play. The young men gathered around to sing with her.- Young Martin Yes. I am sure she did,’ I an swered. It soon become perceptible to all observing people how much David Atwood was in love with Miss Castleton. He" would turn pale every time she spoke to him and once when.he brought her a chair in an awkward hurry, I saw him tremble like a leaf under her beautiful eyes. They were to gether with three others iu the parlor. “Miss Castleton,” saida pretty sang very well and Charlie Childsllittle school girl, who idolized sang better. While they were Florence for her beauty, alter the the odor of amok e. Rising quick ly 1 opeqed my door; the hall was filled with smoke, and there was great confusion in tho house. The cry of “Fire ! tire !” arose. J flung on u wrapper, drew on slippers, and commenced putting my most valuable papers into my writing desk. While I was doing this there came a quick step on the stairs, and a voice crying the names of all who slept on the lan ding. I opened my door again, md saw for the first time that the doors of all the other chambers were open, jimktlie bmipunts bud dh^V’If'wns a servant. in aiuazoinont.1 “Ob, come down, for heaven's the prevailing sake!” she cried. “The back part of' the house is afire from ee lar to roof, inside J” There wore doors in tho hall shutting all the back part of the house off from lhe front. “Are all out?” I asked,flinging a coat around me, and taking U] my precious writing desk,. “Miss Houston and Miss Castleton ?" said 1, as we we went through the smoky hall. “Iloavon have mercy !” cried the Irish girl, “but I don’t think Miss Castleton is out! I haven't seen her! Oh, what will I do?” Just then a figure came leaping up stairs. “Go down !’’ he cried to me, as he sprang past me. He Hung open the door between the two balls. A volume of smoke poured out, and I retreated. It was David Atwood. I knew in stinctively that be had gone for Florence Custleton, and that she would immediately be safe. Down stairs the people were carrying out furniture, and the greatest eonfusioH and consterna tion prevailed. Mr. Gray caught the arm of Mrs. llawley, as she fled down the stuirs'witli a pile of valuable cloth ing. Miss Castleton, Mrs. Hawley —where is she?” lie cried. I don’t know !"’ she exclaimed desperately. Some ono went for her. I have not seen her—” Mr. Gray interrupted with an oath and sprang to the stairs, but at that instant the figure of David Atwood emerged from the smoke on the stairway, with the sense less form of Florence Castleton in his arms. She had apparently fainted with fright, or been over powered by the smoke. She was half dressed; her beautiful hair swept over Davids arm,- her white unconscious face was clasped to his breast. They carried her into the air, and she soon revived, and was carried to the hotel whqir Mr. Gray resided. Tho fire was finally extinguish ed, but the house was very much injured, and [rendered untenable until repaired. It was spring,and I went out of town, but that summer T received the following letter from Jeanette Manchester: ‘My Dearest Esther: I’ve such news to tell you! Florence Caa- tleton lias married that horrid, awkward David Atwood, who is a fright, if lie docs play beautifully on the violin. It seems that he saved her from tho tiro, and she went into a passion of gratitude, and lie told her that ho loved her; and that was a pretty state of af fairs for that aristocratic Gray, "'ho is more than half in love with her himself 1 bolievo. But they say that Florence said to him; 'Dear guardian, remember my mother, and he gave up and let her marry Atwood. I was not at the wedding; it took pluck at tho Gray’s country scat, and they say that tho bride wore blue larkspur iu her hair. Horrid taste! and so forth. Horrid tasto! and so forth J. MANOHftsyiJH.” 1 smiled. 1 was glad. Florence Castleton How his Trousers got Shortened. A certain gentlom^Bypurchased a pair of pants a few days ago, which, upon being tried on at home, he found to be too long. That night he remarked to his wife that ho wished her to take off about au inch from each leg, which would make them tho desired length. Be ing fond of teasing her husband, she told him that she shouldn’t do au^’thiqg qf^tljjq kind, and he retir ed without having obtained a prom ise from her that she would utteud to the matter. Boon after he had left for his room, liywever, she, as a matter of course, clipped off the superfluous inch, as she had boon asked to do. The family is composed of six le- malo members, and each one of the five, who wore in adjoining rooms, heard tho dispute lMwoon man and wife, and after ’Itio latter had taken off tho inch and retired, the old Judy, desiring to ‘keep peace iu the family,’ and not knowing what her daughter-in-law had done, cautiously slippod into tho room and cut off another inch. In this ivay did each of the five ladies, unknown to the other, and all witli the praiseworthy object of preventing any misunderstanding between tho couple, clip an inch from tho legs of the gentleman’s trousers, The following morning, all un conscious of wlmt Had taken place during tho night, he rolled up his pants in a piece of paper, and took them to the tailor to be shortened to the desired length. Upon a hasty glance tho latter ventured the opinion that they were already shortened, but the latter insisted that they were fully ail inch too long. The tailor had no more to say, and our friend retired. On the following Saturday ho called for the pants and took them home, and was supremely disgus ted at finding that the legs reached only a trifle below the knee. He straightway accused the tailor, but his wife heard him, and came to the rescue, explaining that she had taken off an inch from each of the legs, and her acknowledment was followed by that of each of the other five ladies, when it was dis covered that altogether the legs had been shortened to the extent of seven inches.
