One of the sweetest of kvattiiiig-pluccs
is Happy Valley. It is romantic and coni
lortable at ouce. There is delightful
bathing, rowing, sailing, and fishing in
the lake itself, and the shady groves that
line its shores sre cool nn;l green and
mysterious, und suggestive of dryads and
nymphs anil fail ies pud things. That is,
if you happen to bo of a poetic turn of
mind. If not, they only suggest flirta
tions, _
I will not further expatinto upon the
delights of Happy Valley, list it should
be fancied that I have lots for sale in the
vicinity, whereas I have none anywhere—
not even a burial lot; and that, I believe,
is the common lot, of all. Neither did
Cora Depqytter have any raid testate to
dispose of, lmt she thought just as I df>
and passed much of the time every sum
mer m the fair demesnes ting lie smilingly
adjacent, to the Happy Valley l’avdion.
Notwithstanding tho round of pleasures
fn which she every Stimmor ' took prohii
nent part she could not stifle her inward
and continuous yearning for the music of
a princely voice, the glance of devotion
from princely eye* thfoiufleh of a pfineoly
hand in the dance, and the sweet envy of
all maidens who had to go priuoolei*
through life. She sighed a great dealt
and began to timik.tUo greak wnrid 11

Of course, you and I know better. I
never wrote a romance yet half so wonder
ful as the simplest life would make were it
truly told. The only trouble is that the
simplest life cannot bo truly told. It
seems easy, but you try it ouce !
Though there was no prince among the
Pavilion boarders, there was a poet. Ar
thur Bayne was there. It is barely possi
ble that Cora might have falh n m love
with him; there is something very Hue
and hyfslatiu—pardon the expression—in
a young lady’s idea of a poet. But then
Arthur Bayne was altogether different
from her ideal. Ho knew the world too
well to believe in its hollowness. Ho had
found it iu feet a very round, hard, and
stubborn sort of thing. I notice that men
who hove really been shaken up a bit in
the merry-go-round we call life are not
apt to preserve the outside show of senti- j
luentalisui to any great extent We all
start off, some time or another, with our
longhair, our turn-down collars, our sta
ble suits, our brigand hats, and our little
hidden Borrows; but when wo have cut our
ey< -t.e:h and learned something about
other folks’ trouble we always come bank
to reason, to plaid neektic*, to stove-pipe
- hVts and the barber.
Arthur was too matter of fact for Cora
and she too sentim< uUil for him from any
hymeneal point of view, yet they somehow
became very excellent friends. Oneeveu
iug they sat on th shore of the little lake
together. Cora was gazing at the moon,
of comae. Khe was one of that kind. She
had lieen telling Arthur wliat kind of a
hero she had imagined for her heart-his
tory, and descrilied the prince with his
melting eyes and musical voice, his gen
erous nature and .magnificent air, his
mild melancholy and inexhaustible affec
tion, his irreproachable morals and aris
tocratic birth. Arthur listened with due
gravity until she had finished.
“Why don’t you take me?” he asked.
“I am uot very rich, but then poverty
isromsutio. 1 can’t play the giutar, but
I know a fellow who is splendid On the i
banjo. As lor a fine antique fnmlv, my I
father was Mr. Bavne, son of Old Bayue; 1
I believe lu; newer went to State prison.”
“Now, Arthur, you ore top bad ! You ;
make fun of everything, ’
“Well, to be serious, child, you’ll never
find your prince.”
“And why not ?”
“Because"they don’t make ’em. Most
men are tolerably human, and humanity
in not perfection. If a man has no other
mini I vices he is sure to chew tobacco,
write poetry, os keep a dog. We are fair
but frail, we men."
“Ah. Mr. Bayne ! what a world it is ! I
: wish there might tie some place where
one might go and hide away and dream in
IjH'aae." . •
I •'TlUre is, and lam 'going there now. I

The next morning the belles of Happy
Valley VMM iu a twUtigr. Thp late train
the p4*fct befoiw had bronght anew young
man, aud young men were not a drug at
the Pavilion, The new comer had taken
the flneet suite in the establishment, and
a great pile of trunks with his initials
stood in the yestubute, where the wore
jealously regnrded by the other young
men. heartbroken with thooonciousness of
possessing tUrt a single trunk, and that,
perhaps, a small one. When it became
known that the unknown was really on the
piazza, smoking a cigar, allsont* ofdipki
nmCifdrtmriihhViffs vrbre resorted to to gets
fair sight of him on Ilia part of She young
ladies. Cora Depoyster denounced it as
an inhibition of brazen ill-breeding in
others. As for herself, she only stood at
the window, which commanded the piazza,
nod scrutinized him through an opera glass.
Montgomery Hmythe—-tor snch was the
name which appeared on the register—ln
three days* time found himself a favorite
with tho ladies. He was of tho conven
tional tyjwi of magnificence—the block
haired, black-eyed, red-cheeked style, j
with small feet, dyed mnstaclie. and eye- ]
glasses. In the matter of scarfs and neck
ties, with tho jewelled pins thereto devoted
he was tiufylgorgeons. If a man has tl e
leiist taint of vulgarity let him beware fo
his neck. Too mtiefi thoracic decoration
ruins one.

' As'the (lays wore bn tills reg'nl person
developed. He gave suppers in his room j
to the young bloods, and organized picnic
parties iu the woods thereabout which !
made the. belles of the Pavilion quite
miig-ralde With happiness. To Cora’s
intense delight he mode her in some sort
the central figure in these last charming
gjfuirs,, aiyl. Uylsl profound oonsiUtatious
\ri(h her concerning the details. They
thus became associated in a certain degree
before the public eye, and when rumor
whispered au engagmeut, Cora did little
triore tffaft blush and stammer a denial
that souuded ever so much like a confir
mation.
blmgqvo lK'Qiiif up to ft sort of blind
.AdJ-lwan Montgomery Brnythe. Bhe
made a prince of him first and put all trust
in him afterward. He told her of his
ancient filthily; of Ilia late father, Judge
Dewey, twice United Bbites Senator, and
son of Commodore Hmythe, of the war
,of 1612. The eommodore’s father, lie
8 irts GetuYiVSmythe, of revolnt'obnry
fame, and brother to Governor Hmythe
of one of the colonies under George HI.
He tallied of the magnificent old country
seat his father had li ft him, with its
picture-gallery full of the portraits of the
old worthies just mentioned and their
wives; all uniforms and bfocadfis and gold
braid and luces; of tho long drawing
rooms, the grand dining-lmll, tho library,
the grounds -all in true baronial stylo,
till Cora, rich and luxuriously reared ns
•he wus begnn to look up to him ns a
being uf au ultogeUier iligurcutunil higher
sphere.
.Qyie clay they look a walk in the grove
itrfherrude of the Pavilidn. !t Wus tho
rinsing up of tho season, and the next day
there was to be a general exodus of the
Happy. Vallily boarders to their homes.
Cora felt that the deed i, e menu nt had
arrived; and it laid. The hitherto pent
up devotion of Montgomery Hmythe
found vent at last in a declaration and a
proposition. He vowed his love in a
perfectly princely style, and having been
accepted with a good many blushes and
tears, jnst ns is tho case in all well-written
novels, he informed her that letters just
receive from his confidential agent in Eu
ropa eoiuiVrHed’hjm to start immediately
for Paris and hfghd her to marry him at
once without waiting to go through the
form of asking the permission of her
gransire or consulting her friends. Was
ho not monfgomery Hmythe ? and who
cimld'pOKSilily object to such an alliance ?
It is very possible that Cora might have
consented, so infatuated was she with her
priuoe, but she hail read that the regular
thing was to demand time for considera
tion, so she postponed her decision, which
really was already made, until evening.
As they ranched the piazza, lie lazily
tapping his glooay hoot with his bamlioo,
and she very tremulous and very happy, a
thickset pock-marked individual, with
black, heavy whiskers and a glazed cap,
came down tho steps and, nodding to
Hmytlwv, said t <
“I’d like to say a private word to you,
young man.”
Montgomery Hmythe suddenly stopped
tapping his boot and, turning pale, looked
sharply at the stranger. A slight vibra
tion of that person’s eyelid nun W him turn
still paler, and without word lie walked
several steps away from tho Pavilion.
The stout man then slowly drew a large
poeket-book from his breast, favored
Hmythe with a view of certain documents
therein contained, immediately after
which lie Baid aloud:
"You’its my prisoner, sir, iu the name
of the law !”
Cora felt like fainting, but her curiosity
was more tbau a match for her weakness.
Smythe looked toward her, laughed a
little, gasping laugh, and tried to say that
this ridiculous mistake could be easily ex
plained.
"Let this person explain it, then,” said
porn, t rembling all over.
"Why, yon see, miss," said the stout
man, "I’m a detective officer, and I’ve
been laying for this young gentleman
some time. 1 have his photograph here,
miss, if you’d like to see it.”
And he produced a carte tie risi/e the
very twin of one (’era bad but that mo
ment stowed away among her treasures.
"There ain’t any mistake about him, is
there ?” said tho detective, grimly.
"But for what—for what is he—is--is he
—arrested ?" faltered the poor girl.
“Why, miss, you see, he left California
too suddenly, with all tho spare cash of
the proprietor of the Pacific Hotel—thirty
thousand dollars—and a matter of five
thousand dothu'* more in jewelry, belong
ing t<! the boarders of the house.”
"But, Sir. Smythe "
"Smythe ! that ain’t his name, miss.
He’s plain Bill Higgins, fancy bar keeper
of tho Pacific. I’m very sorry for you,
miss. I don’t s’poso you had nny idea
who you were with. Good morning.”
She looked nt Montgomery Smythe, but
lie did not raise his eyes, nor open his
mouth. Plainly, the detective had told
the truth. She turned to tho hotel.
Happily t e who e affair had esc pln tee.
Montgomery Smytlie was luioady on
his way to the depot, arm in arm witli the
stout man, and as they turned a bend in
the road Cora took a last, sad, farewell
look at her prince. The shock made her
seriously ill, aud when she recovered the
1 nonsense was pretty thoroughly washed
j out of her.
j Arthur Bayne was not the man to tri-
I omph over the full of any oue. On tho
contrary, ho was too generous, and when
i the people begun to make remarks about
j this unfortunate episode in Cora’s exis
tence he married her himself to shut their
i mouths.
The Matrimonial Knot in Japan.
An honest couple have a marriageable
daughter, and the latter is acquainted
with a fine young fellow who would be a
capital match, if only lie possessed the
necessary means of making his lady-love
and her jiarents the indispensable wed
ding presents, and of keeping-open house
for a week. One fine evening, the father
and mother returning from tho bath, find
tire house empty —the daughter gone.
They make inquiries in the neighborhood;
no one has seen her, hut the neighbor*
hasten to offer their services in seeking
her, together with her distracted pareuts.
They accept the offer and head a solemn
procession, which goes from street to
street, to the lover’s door. In vain does
he, hidden behind his panels, turn a deaf
ear; he is nt length obliged to yield to the
importunities of the besieging crowd; lie
opens the door, and the young girl,
drowned in tours, throws herself at the
feet of her parents who threatened to
curse her.
Then conies the intervention of charita
ble friends deeply moved by this spectacle;
the softening of tne mother; the proud
and inexorable attitude of the father; the
1 combined eloquence of the mnltiln.le
eraple.yed to soften his heart; the lover’s
| endless protestations of his resolution to
[ become the best of sons-in-law. At
j lsngth the father yields hi* resistance is
overcome, he raises his kneelingdaughter,
jiardons her lover, und calls him son-in -
law. Then, almost as if by enchantment
cups of saki (an intoxicating liquor made
from rice) circulate through the assembly;
; everybody site down upon tho mats, the
two culprits are placed in the centre of
the circle, large bowls of saki are handed
to them, and when emptied, the marriage
is recognized, and declared to be validly
j contracted in the presence of a sufficient
| number of witnesses, and it is registered
next day by the proper officer without nny
difficulty.
War Horse*.
These intoresing animals, when hit in
battle, stop, tremble in every muscle, and
groan deeply,'while their eyes show deep
astonishment. During the battle of Water
loo, some of the horses as they lay upon the
ground having recovered from the first ag
ony of their wounds, fell to eating the grass
about them, thus surrounding themselves
with a circle of bare ground, the limited
extent of which showed their weakness.
Others were observed quietly grazing on
the field, between the two hostile lines,
their riders having been shot off their
backs; and the balls flying over their heads
and the tumult behind, before, and around
them, caused no interruption to the usual
instinct of their nature. It was also ob
served that when a charge of cavalry went
past near to nny of thestray horses already
mentioned, they would set off, form them
selves in the rear of their mounted com
panions, and though without riders, gal
lop strenuously along with the rest, not
stopping dr flinching when the fatal shock
with the enemy took place. At the battle
of Kirk,in 1745, Major MacDonald having
unhorsed an English officer, took posses
sion of his horse, which wus very beauti
ful, and immediately mounted it. When
the English cavalry fled the horse ran
away with its captor, notwithstanding all
his efforts to restrain him;nor did he stop
until it was nt the head of tho regiment of
which, apparently, its master was the com
mander. The melancholy und at the same
time ludicrous figure wliicli MacDonald
presented when he thus saw himself the
victim of his ambition to possess a fine
horse, which ultimately cost him his life
upon the scaffold, may be easily conceived.

Seven—The Number of the Bible.
On the seventh day God ended his work.
On the seventh month Noah’s Ark touched
tho ground. In seven days a dove was
sent. Abraham pleaded seven times for
Sodom. Jacob mourn and seven days h t
Joseph. Jacob served seven years for Ba
chel. And yet another seven years more.
Jacob was pursued a seven days’ journey
by Laban. Aplenty of seven years and a
famine of seven years were foretold in
Pharaoh’s dream, by seven fat anil seven
loan beast, and seven ears of full nnd seven
ears of blasted corn. On the seventh day
of the seventh month the children of Israol
fasted seven days uud remained seven days
in their tents. Every seven years tho
land rested. Every seven years the law
was read to the people. In tho destruc
tion of Jericho seven persons bore seven
truwphets seven days; on the seventh day
they surrounded the walls seven times,
and at the end of the seventh round the
walls fell. Solomon was seven years build
ing the temple, and fasted seven days at
its dedication. In tho tabernacle were
seven lamps. The golden candlestick hnd
seven branches. Naamon washed seven
times in the river Jordan. Job's friends
sat with him seven days and nights, and
offered seven bullocks and seven rams for
an atonement. Our .Savior spoke seven
times from tho cross, on which he hung
seven hours, and after his resurrection ap
peared seven times. In the Revelations we
read of seven churches, seven candlesticks,
seven stars, seven trumphets, seven
plagues, seven thunders, sevou rials, nnd
a seven-headed monster.
• A Truthful Boy.
A good little boy but West undertook
to come the G. Washington on his
mother iu this way.
He cut oft’ the oat’s head with the tra
ditional little hatchet, and then hid the
defunct feline in the meal barrel. When
the old lady went for meal to make the
“hoe cnke’ r for the frugal morning repast
she discovered that cat and interviewed
her little son. Hesnid:
“I did it, mother, with my little hatchet,
but I’ll be swizzled if I can tell you the
whole truth about this little affair. ”
Now most mothers would have kissed
that Brave., truthful lad on his noble brow
and kept rightou using the meal out of
that barrel just the sumo; but this one
didn't. She said, —
“Come across my lap, my son; come
across my lap.”
He came, and for a while there rose a
cloud of dust from the scat of his trousers
that effectually hid the son from view,
aud the old woman now sports goggles
and is lavish iu the use of Petit’s eyqsalve.
That good little boy had pepperedjtlic seat

A Bit of Western “Treason.”
Tlie UuzeUe lias an article, the purport
of which is that lor a man to stand np for
the interests of the West and Houth
against the aggressions of the East is to
be guilty of treason. Well all we have
to say in reply is, that if such he the case
tho laud is full of traitors and treason is
the best tiling going. The West asks
nothing of the East hut justice, and that
it lias never been able to The
West has Always been a step-child, and
the East has been a harsh and unnatural
mother. It lias, opposed any extension of
Western tcritory. It tried to give away
the free navigation of the Mississippi
und Ohio rivers to all countries for the
comparatively contemptible privilege of a
few Eastern fishermen catching fish and
drying them on some of the British
islands off the coast of Labrador. It al
ways endeavored to maintain extensive
Indian reservations in the West, which
were not to be opened to white settlement.
It has opposed liberal homestead laws, in
order to delay population in the Western
wilds. It has opposed tho organization
of the Western Territories, and the ad
mission of Western Htotes into the Union,
because in the future they would be bar- ;
riers to its encroachments.
Tho tariffs have been of Eastern manu
facture. The East has been protected;
the West has p<iiil/or the protection.. The
Atlantic coast has nearly all the appropri
ations from the public treasury; the West
ern rivers have been neglected. It is
unconstitutional the East believes, to
bike a snag ont of the Mississippi or the
Ohio river. The Eastern ffsli-catcher has
his fish free of duty;-tho Western pork or
beef-packer pays a big duty upon the salt
which he uses. The East owns tho gov
ernment Imuils; the West pay the inter
est. The East has the National Bunks,
and the west pays for their circulation.
The East has money to lend; the West
has money to borrow. The East says
money must be scarce, in order that the
West shall pay an immense interest.
Money is therefore made scarce to nccom
modate them. Hix little Eastern Htates,
having a population but a trifle more than
Ohio, have twelve United Htates Senators
to Ohio’s two.
In order that the East may have this
advantage forever this is the only section
of the Constitution made by the East
which it is forbidden us to clmuge, except
with the unanimous consent of every
State. In the distribution of political
power, in its arrangement of tariffs cur
rencies and internal improvements, we of
the West have only known the East as a
swindler and a thief. When it was ne
eessnty to fight Groat Britain in behfilf of
Eastern seamen, the West audJSouth hail
to do it. The East cowardly slunk from
the contest, and in its Hartford Conven
tion plotted to secede from the Union
and to annex itself to the territories of
the enemies. The worst of it is that we
hove many fools in the West who like
tho writer in the Oatette, have taken sides
against their own people, aud in other
respects aided and sustained tho aggres
sive robbers east of the Alleghany Moun
tains.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
A Puzzled Dutchman.
One who does not believe in immersion
for baptism was holding a protracted meet
ing, and one night preached on the sub
ject of baptism. In the course of his re
marks he said sumo believe it necessary
to go down into the water, and come ont of
it.to be baptized. But this he claimed to be
j a fallacy, for the preposition "into” of the
Scriptures should be rendered differently,

into the mountain, and the Saviour was

do io supjoie that either went into a

down into the water; it simply means go
ing down close by or near the water, and
being baptized in the ordinary way by
sprinkling or pouring.” He carried out
this idea fully, and in due season and style
closed his discourse; when an invitation
was given for any one so disposed to arise
and express bis thoughts. Quite a number
of this brethren arose ami said they were
glad they had been present ou this occa
sion; that they wore well pleased with the
sound sermon they had just heard,and felt
their souls greatly blessed. Finally, a
corpulent gentleman of Teutonic extrac
tion. a stranger to ull, arose and broko n
silence that was most painful, as follows:
“Mister Breacher, I mli so glad I vash

N. J., was attacked by a colored lunatic
who bit a piece from the calf of Lewis’ leg.
The wound was not thought serious,
although it was very painful. It gradually
heald. Last Friday, while Lewis was
working in a field, he was taken ill.
Brother workmen assisted him to his home
where he was seized with hydrophobia,
raving, foaming at the mouth, and mani
festing all the symptoms of that terrible
disease.
A boy named Henry Johnson, living in
Michigan, climed into an apple-tree, back
of a farmer’s house, the other night, and
intimated the hooting of an owl so accu
rately that tbo farmer rushed out and put
nine buckshot into him. It is said that
■Henry has not hooted since.
