igal son gone away the third time.
One all-sufficiently daik night, unliceding
wind and weather, as gallant and spruce a
lover as ever Straddlt-.'d a stamp, St-tli, in
best ‘bib and tucker,’ and dicltey, and all
that, Slal‘l(-)(.l upon his accustomed weekly
pilgrimage to the shririe of Sally .loncs—a
sweet girl, by the wzty, as sti'uwbei'i'ies and
cream are sweet.
Seth knew every land mark, if he could
see it; but the night was very dark, and in
a little w bile he became confused in bis reck-
oning, and taking the light which gleamcd
from farmer Jones’ cottage for. a guide, he
pushed boldly on, regardless of intermediate
difficulties, surging occasionally to the riglit
or left, as some obstiuctioii rose in his path,
until he ran stem on, as :1 sailor would say,
to ahuge stump, and rolled incontinenlly
over the other side.
He gathered himself up as best he could
and shook himself, to ascertain that no bones
were broken, and then restarted on his riiis-
sion of love, his ardor soniewlmt dampened
by feeling the cold night wind playing in
fantastic jets around his body, (’CltOlln§*__; that
the concussion had f)l'(’£’(?/tL’(l his ‘oh-lie-foo
sliames,’ and that the seven-and-sixpenny
cassimere were no more to be the paiticular
delight of his eye, in contemplation of their
artistic excclleiice.
He knew not the extent of the damage
sustained, but soon gaiiiing the house, his
first glance was over his person, to ascertain
if decency would pe violated by an unwou-
ted display, but seeing nothing, and trusting
to the voluminous proportions of his coat fol‘
concealment, he felt re-assured, and took his
seat in a proffered chair by the fire.
Whilst conversing with the farmer about
the weather, and with the dome upon the
matter of cheeses, he glanced at Saliy, and
saw, with painful surprise, that she was look-
ing anxiously and somewhat strangely, to-
wards a portion of his drecs. Slie averted
her eyes as she caught his glance; botagain
catching her eye upon him, he was induced
to turn his in the same direction, and saw,
good heavens! was it his shirt’! oozing out
ofa six inch aperture in the inside of one of
his inexpressibles! He instantly changed
position, and from that moment was on net-
tles. Was he makiiig more revelations by
the changes. He watched the first opportu-
nity to push the garnient. in a little. Could
be succeed in hiding it, it would relieve his
embai-rassmeni. Again he watched his
chance, and again stowed away the linen.——
It seemed iiitcimidable, like the D3ctor’s
tape worm, and the more be war ed at it,
the more there seemed left.
In the meantime, his conversation took
the line of his agony, and his answers bore
as much relation to the questions asked as
the first line of the Songs of Solomon docs
to the melancholy buitlien of ‘Old Marni
Pettingill.’ _

There is an old gcntlciiian in VVasiiiiigl0ii

of a thousand a year. \Ve do not say this
income is a salary, and if folks will tinder-
stand it so, we do not say be is a clerk; and
if folks will understarid that be is, we do not
know to what department he belongs. Not
we. But he is -.1 nice old gei'itleman——pos-
scssing an agreeable appearaiice——plcasii'ig

gentleman? We will not answer the ques-

with a life insurance policy in his hand ; we
took hold of his band and pressed it harder
than usual.
" This is like you !’ “Ive said. ‘ Ever kind

wife.’
‘Yes, indeed, I do,’ said he.
‘ And you will take good care of her?’
‘Yes, will I——as long as she lives !’ said
be.
‘As long as she lives!’ we repeated men-
tally. What a noble old fellow!’ He dc-
serves to have a lovely young wife. While
he lives she is sure of a fair livelihood, and
lie is thus providing a support for her after
he shall have passed away! ‘ What’s the
arnount?’ we asked aloud.
‘ Two tliousand,’ he replied.
Two thousand is but one hundred and
twenty atsix per ccnt., we thought. That is
scant. \Ve felt dis-uppoiiited.
‘Two thousand will be a clever little sum
in such an event,’ said be.
‘It will be a help,’ we replied.

I had when I married my plf._E'Sel1t\V'lft:. Two

older, and will need more the next time.’
‘IVliatl you do not mean to say you
have been getting your wife’s life insured?’
we exclaimed.
‘ But I do, tliough !’ said he: ‘I novel‘
shall get such another, and a couple of thou-
sand may be necessary to enable me to se-
cure any at all. Iknow the value of a
wife '2’
‘And of yourself, too, you self-loving’ old
wretch l’ we exclaimed; and we passed 0_n,
wishing most heartily that his pretty wife
might live long enough to relate his biogra-
phy to a second and more worthy husband. _

‘ All,’ very composedly remarked Mr.

in the oflice. He was highly pleased at this
announcement, but he could not think who
was so very kind as to send him a pziper.—-
After many coi'ijcctures, however, he came to.
the conclusion that it was from some friend
whom he had assisted in former years.
One year had passed; the paper contin-
ued to come, and N- was still ignorant
from whence it came; but one day at 8.
‘ hauling,’ he informed his neighbors of his
good fortune, and expressed some fear that
he would have to do without his paper soon
‘ No you wcn’t,’ said James C ., in a
loud tone of voice,‘ for mother sent on two
dollars for you last week.’
‘ Well done Jim!’ shouted a dozen voices
while a simultaneous roar of laughter ran
along the line of teauisters.

nouncement, been remarkable. cheerful and
talkative, became suddenly silent, while =1
