' _ The Ass'imiquid House stood 'on theIoutJ
skirts of the .little' village. 0f I Racketvillc;
and directly above Assimiquid Lake, which
was the chief attraction to city visitors, and
sumciehtly so to draw quite. a gathering of-
-thex_‘n’ each successive season, to boat, fish.
flirt, abd otherwise disport themselves. My
two young men had heard of it this partic;
ular season ; and, having a few weeks’ holi-
day, had concluded to pass the time there.
Jack savage, the elder of the two, was a
young lawyer tlom New York; and his
fi'iend androom-mate, Tom Wetherell, was
bookkeeper in a large banking house in the
same city. > The hotel had been pretty well
filled during the three weeks of their stay,
but was now thinningout as the cool weath-
- er drew nearer, and there were, in fact, but
‘ 'two or three families leftat thetime my
, storyc0mniences. Among these, the one
‘ters, Iwhohad been regular visitors at the
nodes for years. I‘ Her name "was Campbell,
and her two daughters—Maggie and Susie—
I had been the chosen companions of Savage
and Wetherell, until quite an intimacy had
sprung up between them, which was not
in the leattt objected to by the mother, who
had learned all about the young men and
their cOnnections-through some of those
gourc’es which elderly ladies with mar“
flaggable daughters :always have at their
commandant: are by no means diselinedto
empltty,'when occasion ofi'ers. The little
hOtel, wit its pretty Indian name, was a
second home- to them; and its landlord—
old Bob Rogers—almost a second father to
the girls. , V ' .
It was an unpreteudiug little hostelry, the
Assimiquid, buried in a-thick grove of elms
and horse-chestnuts,- and these only cut
away in flout. to give a clear and unobstruc-
; ted view‘of the placid lake which stretched
away. for miles toward the mttinfiuu. Au
Eunpretending place; but, to .those who
knew it, none could be more homelike or
better laved. . ‘
I In front, the long and broad piazza offer-
ed a delightful resting place in the coo;
mornings a°nd evenings; a brilliant flower.
garden extended down to the gateway,
whence a drive passed in front and com.
pletely around the house. The y’oung‘peo-
pie had sailed on the lake; ridden and driv-
en about the country; fishing and flirting
to their hearts' content; and now, When on.
ly a week longer remained of their pleasans‘.
‘sojo‘urn,, they each began to discover that
the parting—like many such—would not be
"wuhout its pangs. ,
Q So the two friends satrather inoodily lis
“toning to the tree-toads; the young ladies
having gone with Mrs. Campbell _to pass
the evening with some friends in the vil-
la e. . ' ,
ut they were not only moody on ac-
count on the near approach of-the ime of
their near departure; they each had another
unwelcome cause for mental disquietude, in
the melancholy fact, that they were both
in that condition of impencuniosiiy com-
monly known as “dead broke.” The fact
was that, before reaching Racketville, the
two friends had passed a week at one of the
watering-places, which had so diminished
their resources that on their arrival at the
.Assimiquid they had'littie or nothing be-
tween lhem. ' .
At first, they treated the matter as a joke
for Tom Wetherel said he had only to write
to'the bank to get all the money that, was
necessdr‘y ; so after a week, he did write,
but up to date had received no answer,
which had rather nonpiussed him, though
he ‘Was informed by jolly Mr; Rogers, the
humid, that the mails were frequently de-
layed, through the slowness of the country
meaps for transportation; and sometimes, ,
even never'reached their destination at all,
which was not in the highest degree relas-
suring. Tom had- written a second .letter,
which met with no better success, and now
matters began to look serious, as poor Jake-
Savage had» no one to whom he could very
well [apply for money, though he was, nev-
ertheless, in the receipt of a-h'andsome in-
come from his practice.
V i‘I say,_Tom,” said Jack, at length remov-
ing his pipe from his mouth, “why don’t
you draw on the bank, and get old Rogers
toicash it, for enough to pay our bill and
take us home i" ’
‘FIt would beas much as my situation is
wort ," replied his friend: “the cashier don’t
like me overmuch, anyhow, and that would
finish me completely ." .
.“ Can’t you draw on the governor,” was
the next suggestion. ‘
‘ “ No. I tried it once, and he rowed up me
so I’ll never never attempt it again, I as-
sure you. No we’ll have to leave our lug-
gage as security, and fact it home, so far as
I can see." ' _ ,
“ I’ll be hanged if Ido i” rejoined Savage
risingand pacing the platform; “ By Jove,
it does seem as if two sharp young- fellows
like: us ought to be - able to hit on some
dodge better than that. I Confound it, I nev-
er was in such a position in my life; and
what makes it worse is,‘th_at we needn’t be
in it now if we hadn’t been a couple of un-
limited asses. We might have brought
more money along if. we had known
enough.” , ,. . ‘ I
“ If "we had; only kept away from that in-
fernal watering-place ‘we should have been
all right," rejoined Wetherell, and then the
two: sat silently listening to the tree-toads
" Hi, Jack l “I’ve got- an idea,” shouted
Wethcrell, presently, rising. and kicking
over his chair in an ecstacy of excitement.
v
Imost'inteifeslting to the two friends was an .
2 Old lady fi-om Boston, and her two daugh-
' of a ‘few paltry dollars: for'he knew that
the éonditionof things could not be kept a
secret, and, once out, the game would be up
for the-old lady would be verylshy of trust-
; 'ing'her daughter to a young man who must
be either a swindler or'a very bad manager
to put it in the very mildest form. .
The sound of laughing -voiccs was heard
coming up thc'roa'd; andpresently the gate
swung open, air'd‘Mrs.I_ICurnpbcll and her
two daughters came up the drive to the
house, escortedIby the gentleman at whose
house they had been visiting. Jack’s heart
gave a‘Ibound as— he caught sight of her
trim figure, and heard her musical laugh;
and he'fOund’ himself grinding his 'teeth at
the, mere presence 0f "gentlemen in her com-_
puny; The latter, however, left the ladies
immediately, who joined Jack and his
friend‘on the piazza. .-
' It'was-a brilliant moonlight night. and
the 'silvery light made the lake seem love-
lier than ever; some mad impulse induced
Jack, who had already taken possession of
Maggie, to prepose a row on the water; and
as there .was no objections made, Mrs.
Campbell retiring into' the Muse, after
charging them to be; careful, they started
for the boats.I They,.m9re.,in high glee, and
when Jack proposed that they should go
in separate boats and have a race, they will-
ingly consented ;- so Jack took Maggie in
one boat, while Tom‘ and her sister entered
another, and they pulled fromshore to a
stake which was a racing poi‘rit‘,_a‘nd the
two young men bent totheir' cars with a
will. They were about evenly matched,
though Tom being the taller had the longer
reach. .
The usual racing distance wasa mile,
marked by a buoy floating on the water,
and both struggled hard for victory. Usual-
ly, in such contests, Jack had come off con-
queror; but this time he gradually ’fell be-
hind, und. when about two thirds of the
distance had been passed, the other boat
then leading him about two-thirds of the
distance, be stopped pulling, unshipped his
oars, and, folding his arm's, set in silence,‘
while Tom's ironical cheer sounded‘ifi the
distance. _ , ' , . " '
Maggie‘fiifin’pbell "so; in 'tlI‘é'ste‘fn 6f" the-
boat rather surprised at J ack,s unusual fias-
co; and, as he did not speak, said, iu‘her
low musical voice: . ‘ '
“ What is the matter, Mr. Savage?
you not well?” -
Jack did not move for a moment; then he
arose, stepped into the stern of the boat and
seated himself beside her.
They had drilled in shore—the other boat
Are
was-out of sight—and, as Jack came so
near her, Maggie felt a ' 'ous sensation in
her left side, anda sort 0 swell' g in her
throat, while she Wondered why ack acted
so strangely, and what he was going to do
next. He did not leave her long in doubt
as toIthal, for passing his arm around her
waist—a liberty he had never before ven-
tured to take—he said very quietly, but
very passionately: _ '
“Maggie, ' we are going to part pretty
soon, and I'inay n0t have another opportu-
nity to tell you what is in my heart tonight
and has been therethese many happy hours
that we have passed together. I want 'to
tell yOu that‘I love you, Maggie, better than
any one I have ever seen. and to ask you if
I may not hope that I have gained a little
of your love, too. I am sure I. need you—
oh, ever so much-land I shall want -you to
be my wife, if you will—not now. if you
don’t like, but whenever you can feel will-
ing to come to me, and let me take you all
to myself, to makehGod permitting-a hap— ‘
py home for both of us. ‘ ‘
Maggie’s face had been. bowing lower
and lower, and now it was entirely conceal-
ed in her hands; and, when Jack ceased
speaking, he found she was sobbing, while
‘the little hand which he clasped in his. and
tried to draw away that he might look in
her face and read his deitiny'," was moisten-
ed with tears.
For a moment he ,did not speak; then he
said: -
“Maggie, dear, have I ofi'enderl you ?
Don’t crv! And, if I have, I promise nev-
er to speak of this again, but shut my
hopes and‘wishesoup in my own heart and
make no sign. I .
You see Jack was a" lawyer, and knew
how to plead his case, and this time he got
his verdict. .
Dropping her hands, she turned her
sweet face, wet with tears, towards him and
said. ..
“ lam not ofi'ended, but itwas so sudden”
—here she laid her hand softly upon his—
~“bu_t if you will have a faulty and imper-
fect girl whom you have .made to love you.
I will be your wife whenever you wish, and
mamma consents.” . .
The next instant Maggie’s face was stow-
ed away somewhere under Jack’s coat, and
then a series of curious noises were heard,
after which Jack jumped frantically back
to his seat, took his ours, and at once began
to propel his boat with the .most incredible
swiftness down the lake, Ma‘ggie‘meanwhiie

“I say,"Tom," said Savage, “I’ll pull you
back for ten dollars. , I was only playing
off when we came out.”
“All right i” sounded from the other boat
and presently they were alongside.
Then began a race that was a raee. The
two girls clapped their hands, and cheered
on the competitiors, and at‘ last Maggie
cried out:
“A scarf of my favorite color to the one
who wins!” ' -
After that there Was no use betting. Jack
came neatly into the little dock two boat—
lengths ahead, and then they all ran merrily
up to the house. ,
"Jack,” said Tom, utter they had said
good-night 'to the girls. and reached their
room (and, if they didn’t kissthem, then the
little darkie that was striking about the

but take up their quarters at a farm-house
near the fishing ground.
Accordingly, the early morning saw them
off in one of the landlords wagons, duly
equiped with rods and luncheon,-while two
curly heads popped out of an upper win-
dow, and two pleasant voices wished them
good luck
That afternoon, as the stage rolled up to
the gate of the Assimquid House, two gen-
tlemen alighted, one slightly lame, elderly
_and with gray hair; the other younger, with
heavy black whiskers and very red face-
The landlord ‘as was his wont, walked up
to the gate to welcome them; and, presently
returning, introduced them to the guests on
the piazza as Professor Hamilton, the cele-
brated mesmerist from Edinburgh, and Mr.
McDonald, his agent and assistant. They
were shown to a room, and their luggage,
consisting of a large wooden box and Mo
heavy portmantcaus, followed them.
A few moments later a messe er was
sent to the village for some boys to post
bills in various prominent localities; and
soon the little place was flooded with large
posters as follows :.
“To inhabitants of Racketville and
the surrounding country !
PROFESSOR HAMILTON,
from Edinburgh,
. Will lecture 'at the Town-hall on ~
. Thursday evening, at eight o’clock, '
ON ANIMAL MAGNETISM.
Illustrating this marvellous science
by experiments on such of
the, audience as
Iare willing to offer themselves.
Tickets 50, cents, '
To be had at the door.”
All the little township was presently.
agog with excitement; for while every one
possessed the greatest curiosity with regard
to the subject of the professor’s proposed
lecture, very few had ever had nit opportu-
nity of witnessing any. of the singular ex-
periments said to have been performed by
means of this wonderful science. The
news spread‘tlirough all the neighborhood,
tand,ynthe following day, farm-wagons in
numbersmame into town, Sifllflghlllgm— '
"i'fiitii‘lfé’t day, bringing the farmers and
their families to hear the professor lecture.
Meanwhile Tom and Jack were 'still ab-
sent, and about noon on the Thursday came
a letter to the landlord, saying that, as the
fishing was so good, they'had cpucluded to
remain until Friday. ' _Great was the disap-
pointment of. Maggie and Susie; and, in-
deed, they could hardly keep from crying
when they thought of the young men miss-
ing the intellectual treat of the evening.
The prOfessor and his assistant kept their
rOOm continually, having their ,meals serv-
ed there, and being reported by the servants
as busily engaged in writing whenever they
were visible. , I
Evening came, and the hall was rapidly
filled until before eight o’clock it was crowd-
ed io its utmost capacity. The gentleman
who had been announced as Mr. McDonald
sold the tickets at the office, while a young
man, hired for the occasion, acted as door-
keeper. Mrs. Campbell and her two (laugh
ters attended of- course, under the escort Of
Bob Rogers, the landlord, who kindly pur-
chased their tickets for them. As he left
the office, with the tickets in his hand, he
was observed, to make a peculiar noise in
his fat, bull neck—something between a
hoarse laugh andstraugulation—while his
great; red face'becanie ‘ purple, and Maggie
Campbell had to put him on the back vig-
orously to bring him to. He said he had
swallowed it “chaw 0’ tobacker, and it went
. wn the wrong way,” but the girls con-
tinued to regard him with considerablc sus-
picion for some, time as a man not to be ful-
ly trusted, but who might take it into his
head to have a fit of apoplexy at any mo.-
ment without regard to time or place. But
the entrance upon the stage of the professor
silenced the hum of voices in the hall, and
at .once attracted every one's attention
The gentleman entered at once-I upon his
subject, and discoursed most learnedly on
the, character of animal magnetism ; its
causes, its efi‘ects, and uses; its connection
with popular magnetism; modes of apply-
ing it in cases of disease; the distribution 'of
the fluids in man, and through all Nature :
and so on, fOr about twenty minutes, when
he concluded his introductory remarks by
requesting such of the audience as were
willing, to step upon the stage and submit
to: various experiments, which he assured
them would not in the least annoy or in-
jure them. His request was followed by
quite an inundation of rough farmers, and
a few ladies of the village. Seating about a
dbzen in chairs in a- semicircle, the profes
sor requested them to close their eyes. He
then passed slowly from one to another.
laying his hand lightly on the forehead of
each, and making passes longitudinally
down the body,’and at a few inches distance
from it. . He 'then stepped back a couple of
paces and waved his hands with a slow
' fanning motion, in the air and steruly, “N ow
you can’t one of you open your eyes i”
The efiect was electrical—all tried, and no
one could do it ; it seemed as though their
eyes were hermetically sealed. ‘ Quickly
again, and with an upward motionIoi‘ his
hands, the professor said, “Now open thbm"
-—they were opened; “Extend your right
hands';” “N ow you can’t lower them i” The
extended arms were as rigid as iron. “Drop
them by your sides !” and down they fell.
The professor took a pitcher of water from
a table, poured some of it into a glass, and
handed the glass to the firslt on the line.
“What is that ‘2” “Water.” It is cider;
taste again 1" “Why, so it is, and mighty
good at that,” and he finished it at a gulp.
Refilling the glass, the professor made his
subject acknowledge the water to be wine,
whisky, soda, caster-oil, lemonade, etc.,
with entire success. Experiment followed
experiment with startling rapidity. Now a
young man plough-boy imagined himself a
velocipede, and tumbled about the stage on
'his hands and feet—a veryv‘good imitation.
A young lady, who had never sung a noth
in her life, suddenly developed extraordina-
ry musical ability, and accomplished f‘Shells
of Ocean” with wonderfully accuracy and
melody. Orie rather foppiIshI young gentle;

Iihcm 'all before they had broke camp.
But the lecture of the professor was the
chief topic of conversation, and as Jack and
Porn knew, of course, nothing about the af-
fair, they had to be enlightened, and. a full '
account/of the lecturer and his, marvelous
experiments was accordingly given them.
Jack and Tom said they should go after
breakfast and introduce themselves to the
professor, and were greatly chagrined when
Bob Rogers told. them that he and his as-
sistant had left town immediately after the
lecture, being driven to the railroad-station
by ““3 d°°!'K€§P9I-. _,

fourteenyears ago by Mr. Byingto‘n “in se.

less disposition for personalities. What we
are discussing is-the respectability and hon-
esty of legislative lobbying as a profession
or business, and the tendency, which we
assert is evil and nothing but ’evil, and evil
continually—of the practice of employing
professional politicians to influence the ac- ~ -
tion of legislative bodies. - ' - .
We believe the whole business is rotten
