Robert Moultrie lovcdJuli.i Halloivell,und
she loved him; two years and more had
passed Since they had agreed——t-orr.e weal,
come woe—-they would trudge through life
together. Two long years! Two years
seemed an etc-.r'nity to wait upon the eve of
bliss, and to delay a happy consutnation.
Juli:1’s father was a wealthy shipper ofthe
port of Charleston, S. C. Some old inhab-
itaus remember the firm of Htillotvell and
Hatlclington. He wasnn upright and high-
ly honorable man; but whose ipse dircit
was low supreme wherever his power could
be exercised.
Robert Moultrie was a clerk in the count-
ing room, and his salary which was his solel
depcndt-nee, though far above the pittance,"
ated, and amply sufficient to warrant his as-f
suniing the expenses of a family, did not‘.
elevate him to that importance in society
which would justify him in presuming upon-
the hand and heart of the daughter of
wealthy shipper.
The character of this young gentleinanl
was unirnpenchable, and he was as mucll
respected for his correct department; (bull
a wicked word) the curse of Gehztza wzr
upon him—'—/‘re was poor.
Robert had been in the counting room of
Mr.‘ Hallmvell since he was fourteen years
old; he had grown tip in his fzimily and by
the side of his lovely heiress, who had, been
promised to a thing of wealth and show.-
That thing was in the Indies, amassing rich-
es to lay at the feet of his bride, but his soul
had on it the stain of dishonor. and Julia had
avowed before God she would never be his
wife. Mr. Hallowell never dreamed that
the wily Cupid was witching his darts suc-
cessfully into the bosoins of both, and’ the
arrows of the little god were firmly fixed,and
be dealt out the silken cord until they were
far out‘ upon the sea of love, too far to pro-5
ceed or return without each other.
‘Do tell me, Robert, what is the motto
with you. I have been a witness to your
thousand dollars. a letter of introduction to
Parson Green ofthe Presnyti-ritn Church.
and the following‘ advice from his father-in
law in pcrwpectit.-e. He was to run away
with the girl, to use Mr.Hallowell's carriage,
antl George, his black waiter, was to drive
and so forth.
Robert governed himself in strict accord-
ance with the advice given; and before dark
the parties were before Parson Green, whose
scruples ofconscience were quieted by the
introductory letter. 'I‘ht-y were soon pro-
nounced husband and wife, and jumped into
the carriage, followed by the blessings of
Parson Green. whose fee was a small part of
the thousand dollar check; George was di-
TPClP(l to drive to a rich old childless uncle
ofRohert's. who lived about five miles from
the city, and to whom the secret was told.-—
The old man, thinking the joke too good a
one not to he enjoyed. sent otit for some of

An Invitation to Dinner.-- It was observed
that a certain covetous rich man never invi-

said a wag. ‘I get an invitation from him."
The wage-r being accepted he goes the next
(lily tothe rich man’: house about the time
he was to dine and tells the servant he must
speak with his master iniinediately, for he
can save hitii a thousand pounds.
’Sir. said the servant to his master, ‘here
is it man in a great httrry to speak with you
who says he can save you a thousand
pounds. _
Otit came the master.
,TVhat isthat sir that you can save me 8
thousand ?
Yes sir I can. but I see you are at dinner
l will go myself and dine and call again-
‘O pray sir come in and take dinner with

‘Not at all.
The lDVllflllon was accepted. As soon as

’VVell SIT,’ said the man of the house, now

Inm to save a thousand pounds.’
‘Why sir’ said the other ‘I bear that you

’I have sir.’
'And that you intend to portion her with
ten thousand pounds.’
‘I do sir.’
‘Why then sit‘ let me have her antl I will

The master of the house rose in a passion

The story of the \Vindham frogs and the
gambols of “Col. Dyer and Elderkin, too,”
have recently found a counterpart at Spring
field, Mass. A pond in that town, long
famous for frogs, has recently been drained
for the purpose. of using the bottom for a
ptiblic cemetery. and the frogs not liking
such an appropriation of their old dointiin
and tlctrzrmined at any rate not to be buried
on their old swimming ground took up their
niarcli for Goose Pond 1) little lakelet in the
neighborhood. and were seen one night about
12 o'clock marching in battalions, regiments
and brigadesgfor their new quarters.

sublime burst of eloquence astonished the
natives in Arkansas (classical R.tN.'l{9DSHCl{)

midnight crowd with the patting of the ro-
mantic jawbone, and the playing of the sen-
timental jewsharp-—will,never cast his artg-
lingline into the broad, superfluous, majes-
tic and outrageous bosom of the eternal
Mississippi. Yes [know he now reposcs
"alone in his glory,”_on the north corner of
a bleak hillside, with his eyes turned tow-
ards the cerulean he.‘-vings. and his big toe
sticking out a feetl Yet is that any reason
why my client should be hung? I think
not! I rather suppose not !”—R0chestc7'
Democrat.
