I really don’t believe, that that girl has a genius for anything!'' The mild old rector oil the parish, looked syuipatbizingly ut Lottie her self, who, with downcast •head and burning cheeks, was polishing the inside of the windows as they talked. ‘Indeed?’said he. “Thai’s un fortunate;’ ■■••••' - ! ‘1 tried her at a millinery,’ said! Mr. Orcutt, consoling.himBelf with a pinclrof snuff. ‘And they su'd she spoiled more rinbous than her work would pay for.

And I don’t know but what they’re right,’ said Mr. Orcutt, with a stgrh. ‘If Lottie •had only been a boy, now, she might -have took the farm, or learned a blacksmith’s trade, or— Father,’ said Lottie, in a low*; voice, ‘I should like to be an artist.’ Mr. Orcutt stared at his daugh ter. ‘Eli!’ said he. •'Wouldn’t' you like to be a queen, and sic on a throne? An artist, indeed! Go straight and feed the young ducks and goslings, Lottie, and don’t let me hear no more suefh nonsense. An artist! W>ell, I do wonder what our girls are coming to!’ ‘A good many young women have distinguished themselves in that way, I am told, 1 sand mild Mr. Audu bon. ‘Ifj girls are working girls, said Mr. Orewtt, bluntly. 'But au ar : tist or an author—they are made of different clay. I’ve been left with four ^motherless daughters, and I’ve done pretty well with all of ’am ex cept Lottie; but Lottie is a puzzle to me.’ A -month later, when Mr. Orcutt brought home his sew-wife—a hard eyed, reu ; checkvd young woman with' greasy black curls hanging clown on each side of her face—Lottie went away. ‘You’d u deal better stay and help allow you your board and clothes, to make yonrsolf generally useful.* ; ‘ ‘She’s not my mol her,’ said Lottie, in a Btifled voice; ‘and Mrs. Mount says I may help in her store until I get a place somewhere else to suit me.’ So Lottie, tho standing puzzle of her father’s life, becamothe shop girl in Mrs. Mount’s fancy store, and studied up the mysteries of tape, ribbon, worsted, needles, and pin cushions. But one day Mrs. MoUntcame to the Orcatt farm-house in a towering rage. 'My best customer,* said she, 'Mrs. General Fitzgibbonl AH through Lottie’s fault! And she vows she’ll never set foot in the stOre again!’ It was some time before she could become sufficiently coherent to ex plain the particulars of her accusa tion, to Mr. Orcutt and his wife. But-it transpired, at last, that Lottie had been audacious enough to sketch a caricatumof the august Mrs. Gen eral St. George Fitzgibbon on the back of a paste-board collar-box, and that lady .had unluckily caught! sight of it, in an evil how. ‘Was it like her?’ siiik Mrs. Or- cutt. j ‘Like hqr?’ said Mrs. Mount; ‘why, itwa^the old hag herself, false hair, French bonnet, and all. I never .did see anything so ridiculous. But that don’t mend matters. I’ve locked her up in the back parlor, and IVe; told her I'd send you there right off, Mr. Orcutt. For, of course, nobody can expect rue to keep her there .af*| ter tUisV Mr, Orcutt looked feebly at his wife. 1 ‘What .am I .to do, Malvina?’ said he. ! ‘Why, go, of course, 1 said the step-' mother, bristling up in anticipation' of the coming contest. “Bring her home at once. I’ll teach her what it is to offend a ladylike Mi'B. Gener- 1 al Fitzgibbon.’ “But you fWget, Malvina— ‘I-dirt forget anything,’ sharply reloaded Mrs. Orcuft. ‘That she isn’t a child ito be whipped <m* to be shut up in a id ark l closet. She is eighbeen, 1 argued Mr, Oiievitt. I •Old enough 4o know 'bettca•,'’ saiffi Mrs. Orcutt, compressing her thin, red lips. ‘There arc other ways of j dealing with refractory girls, Ebcii, those you have named..’ ! Mr. Orcutt looked admiringly at his wife, who had been matron of an orphan asylum before he hud married her; and then he weitt ou.t -to kitch up the horse to bring Lottie home; Jiu t -when they Teaehd tlio uffy 1 i t- tle back parlor at the rear of Mrs. Mount’s shop, tho dingy cage was empty; -the >bii;d hud fiown. Where’s Lottio?’ said Mr. Orcutt, staring helplessly aroilnd him. ‘Where’s Lottie?’ shrieked Mrs. Mount, looking under the sofa and behind the closet door. And Echo—and Echo only—an swered: ' Where?' At that same moment -pretty Lot tie herself, who had seemed to blos som suddenly and spontaneously in to beauty as the white scroll of a fitly unfolds in the sunshine, or a rosebud suddenly opens into crimson peitfeet- ion was talking to Maurice Fitzgib- bon himself, in tho shadow of a hedge of Jilli-es half .a m-iJe away, with no spy nearer than the silver eye of the Evening Star. ‘Yes,’ oried Lottie, vehemently, I wM marry yon if you whI take me away from this place! Let me go to Italy. Make an artist of me.’ And so she married .thojou ng heir; and they disappeared quietly and mysteriously us a floating shadow, and no one know what had become of poor, luckless little Lottie Or- entt. ‘Maurico issoeccontric,’said Mrs. General Fitzgibbon, who, like Mrs. Orcutt, was only a step-mothor. never can pretend to keop track of your said from the Manor House;’ Bat tho years glided away, and still Maurice Fitzgibbon did not re turn.

Models in clay, and dash*, cs off charcoal sketches and nil that sort of thing. I do adore art!’ And when, one golden September evening, Maurice Fitzgibbon brought his bride heme, a tall, regal crea ture in black velvet, with a niche of creamy lace around her throat and a diamond clasping it, Mrs. General Fitzgibbon never recognizod in her the sauoy shop girl who had given suoh mortal offence by delineating her in eplori ithat wore't6o true. tTntil Lottie recalled 4ka faot to her .memory.

[Jay; Gould, in a Recent Letter.] “I found a cockroach struggling, jn a bowl of water. I took a peanut shell for a boat. I put him into it, gave him two wooden toothpicks for oars and loft him.
