As that seems to be the main object, I think that it ought to be satisfactory to all parties.” A few minutes lat_e'r,Russcll passed by the window, valise in hand. He nodded good humorcdly to his uncle, as he glanced in, who glared after him in speechless rage. ~ “He shan‘t have a penny—not a penny t” he growled, and sinking back in his chair, be wiped the perspiration from his forehead. “What’s the matter now ?” said the gentle‘ voice ofhis wife, Polly, who had just‘cnier ed the room. \ “Matter enough, I should say.

She says she can’t bear to hear his name mentioned, and that -it was as much as she could do to get her to come at all, when she heard that Russell was at home.” ' ' “They are a couple Cf simpletons," said the old gentleman, tesfily.- “I’ve got a mind to make another will, and leave my property to some charitable institution 1” . In going to Dighton, whither" he was bound, Russell Wilder had to travel part of the way by stage. There was only one passenger besides himself, for which he was not sorry, the day being very hot and sultry. This, passenger was a lady—there was an air of unmistakable ladyhood about her which told him that. He noticed particular ly the daiulily gloved hands and well-fitting bools. - ' ‘ Her graceful form indicated that she was both young and pretty, but he could not see her face on account of the envious veil that hid it. 'v . But as soon as she got comfortably settled in the corner, to which Russell assisted her, she threw. it back, disclosing a fair, sweet face, lighted by a pair of wondrously bright black eyes, which shot a swift, bewildering ' glance into his that were so intently regard- ing her. The sudden starting of the coach, which . sent some of the lady’s parcels them the seat to the floor, gave Russell an opportunity of speaking, as he returned them, of which he was not slow to take advantage. From this they fell easily into conversa- tion ; and it was curious how sociable "they became. ’ , ' through which they were passing ; of the newest books, and latest magazines, Some of which Russell had with him. The lady inwardly thought her companion to be the most entertaining and agreeable man she ever met with. And as for Russell he‘often lost the thread of his discourse in admiring the red, dimple'd lips, and the nearly teeth they disclosed whenever she spoke or smiled. , Certain it is, that this fourhours’ ride from P— to Dighton, were the shortest four hours’ he had ever known in his life. “Where do you want to be left, sir ?” in- quired the coachman, as 'he entered the Village. - “At Charles Hunt’s, Locust Hill. Do you know where that'is ?’.’ said Russell, putting _ his head out of the window. “ Certainly, sir; take you, there in a jiffy.” ' ‘ “Why, there’s where I’m going i” said the lady, opening her eyes widely. “Nelly —Mr. Hunt’s wife is my most particular friend; we used to go to school together.” “And Charley Hunt is my most particular Mead, and one of the finest fellows in the world.” “How very odd 1” . “How very fortunate l” exclaimed Russell, with a meaning glance at his fair companion, which made the rosy cheeks still more rosy. “Might I take the liberty of inquir- ing— it But just at that moment the stage stopped in front of the house, on the portice of which, stood ' Mr. and Mrs. Hunt, enjoying the evening breeze.

You see, mamma —my' step-mother, you know—was going to 4 Uncle Wilder’s, and she insisted on my going with her to see the hateful, disagree- able cousin of mine, that they are determined to marry me to. So when mamma was busy packing, I just put on my things and -slipped tfi‘,leaviug a note to tell where I was going. Wasn’t that a good joke on them all i‘” “I should think it was,” said Nellie, with a burst of merrimeut, far more than the oc- Te’nsion warranted. “When I saw who your companion was, I thought gyou were out on your wedding tour.” . “N o, indeed ; never saw the man untiihe got into the stage at P—. But really be is the finest looking man I ever saw,_and so agreeable. Who is he i” “0h, l’il introduce you when you come down stairs. There’s Sarah. wanting to see me about supper. You’ll have only time to dress. Mind, and; 100k your pret- tiest I” . And with a roguish shake of her finger to her friend, Nellie ran away to see about supper. If Jennie did not “look her prettiest,” she certainly looked very lovely as she entered the supper room, her linen suit exchanged for a fresh, soft muslin, whose simplicity and purity were relieved only by the violet colored ribbons in her hair and at her throat. , Russell had also taken great pains with his toilet, as ceuld be seen by his spotless linen and carefully arranged hair. The pause'that followed J ennie’s entrance was broken by Mr. Hunt, who, in response to a meaning glance from his wife, said : “Russell, allow me to introduce to you your Cousin, Jennie ; Miss Carlton, your cousin, Russell Wilder.” The embarrassment which followed the nouncement threw the parties so unexpect- edly made known to each other, was quickly dispelled-by the turn that was given it by their host and hostess. ' “I suppose you’ll want to book yourself for the next stage 1’” said Mr. 11th slyly to Russell, who had been taken into' his friend’s confidence. . “And you,” said his wife, turning to Jen- nie, “I don’t suppose anything could tempt you to remain, new that you have seen that hateful, disugreeable—” “Nellie i” interruptedeennic, crimsoning, as she remembered her words. ' “Well, I won’t ihén. But you must let me laugh ! Just to think of you both run- ning in the same direction, and to the same place l” -' , p The ringing laugh that burst hem Nellie’s lips was too contagious to be resisted, even by those at whose expense it was raised. This merriment was followed by a general good feeling, and a pleasanter tea-party never gathered around social board. We need hardly say that Russell did not take the stage the next morning, nor did Jennie seem at all disposed to cut short her .visit on account of her cousin’s unexpected appearance. ' When they did go, they went, as they came, together. Mr. Wilder’s astonishment was ; only ‘equallcd by his delight on looking out of the window to see the two walking up the path towards the house, arm iu-arm, and up- parcnlly on the best of terms. As for Russell and Jennie, they seemed o regard this unexpected meeting as an in- }ieation of their “manifest destiny,” accept- ing it as Such, much to the joy of their uncle, whose darling wish was accomplished in the marriage of the two, thus made happy in spite of themselves.

I have brought it in, thinking you might like to apply,” saiers. Lane, in hcr'chcerf'ul way. “Advertisements! I’ve lost all faith in the advertising columns, thanking you all the same. But let m., see," she said, taking the paper and reading aloud :—“Wanted—A lady amanuensis. Apply in person, be- tween thc hours of 1 and 4. at No. 6 —— street.” “Well, I’ll try it once more.” She looked at the clock, and, in a more buoyant tone of voice, said, “It’s two, I’ll go at once.” ' Mrs. Lane took her departure willl earnest wisllr‘s for 1: tr ‘- ad’s success. and in a few moments Jesepp: “e Burton issued from her room in the quiet boarding-house, and pro- ceeded to No.6 —.-street. Josephine was still young and beautiful, but poor and very proud. Born in luxury, and bred in every indulgence, it was hard for her to go out to seek employment. But she must maintain herself. She was in her orphan girlhood thrown upon the charity 'of relatives, and' to escape the humiliation. of dependence she married at the age of seventeen, and at twenty-two found herself a widow, and, by her husband’s failure, just before his death, pennilcss. She had endeavored to obtain pupils in music, but was discouraged at the outset. Every other venture had failed, and now something must be done, and that quickly, for her board was due, and‘ not a dollar to meet the bill. She was dressed with care in plain mourn- ing, but her appearance was elegant, and many a masculine eye was turned upon the graceful form as it glided down the street. Despite the courageous resolutions she had made to appear unembarrassed and .very matter-offset, she felt a degree of irrepressi- ble agitation as she drew near N0. 6—, and found it was one of a number of law- yers’ ofiices. She hoped it might be some lady novelist who wanted an amanuensis, rand she was sadly disappointed and grieved when she saw on every side lawyers’ signs, which precluded the possibility of there be- ing a lady in the vicinity. With a heart throbbing with agitation, she stepped up to the door, treading h‘er pride under foot. She rapped, the door opened, and a boy ap- peared. Admitting her, he handed her a chair, and knocked at the door of an inner room. Immediately a tall, distinguished looking gentleman presented himself, and ment and perhaps position. ’ “In what way can I_ serve you, madam ?” “I called to answer an advertisement which appeared in the morning paper.” “All advertisement,’ madam ; you do not mean—” ' . “I mean the advertisement for an aman- uensis.” - ‘ “Be seated, if you please,” be said, with much respect in his tone, and drew a chair forward for himself. “The advertisement was mine. I desire some documents copied, but they must not leave my house, the copy- ing must be done in my library, and under my personal supervision,- which I can give only two hours in the evening. I have 'had many applicants, but none have suited. Do I understand that you—" ' “You are correct ; I desire the position,” she answered calmly, “but I prefer to do the work at home. I think I could give satis- faction.” “The papers are of such value that they can not leave my possession. I am sorry: I would like you to undertake the copying of them; Could you not come to my home i” “Did you say in the evening ?" ’ “I am only' at leisure then, and the work would require my direction ; two hours, say from seven to nine each evening, would accomplish it by the time it would be re- quired. My mother is with me, and you would not be without a companion." ‘ After a moment’s reflection Josephine de- cided to undertake the papers. She drew from herpoeket a card-case, and handed him her card. He appointed the following evening for the commencement of her labors, and with modestly expressed thanks she withdrew. In her palmiest days Josephine had never met with greater courtesy than that which marked Herbert Latimer’s man- ners throughout the interview, and with grave respect he conducted her to the street door, and bowed as he might have done to, his most wealthy and distinguished client- For a moment after her departure the law- yer stood by his desk regarding the bit of pasteboard, the only token of her presence, which he held in his hand. “Mrs. Josephine Burton,” .he said, half audibly,“a widow, as I believe. I always liked the name of J osc- phine.” _ The evening came; Josephine presented herself at the house of Mr. Latimer. It was in the most fashionable street, and one of the haudsomest- dwellings in the neighbor- hood. She hud heard of Lawyer Latimer, and knew him to be wealthy and of a proud family, but whether he was married or sin- gle she was ignorant. His allusion to his mother would indicate the latter. Josephine was ushered info the drawing-room. An elderly lady rose from a sofa and approached ~her, saying, “My son is expecting you ; we will go at once to the library.” Her manner was pleasant and extremely kind, and served to put Josephine at her case. Mr. Latimer was seated at his table, occupied in asserting a number of documents. He rose politely and greeted Josephine with a re- spectful bow and pleasant "good evening.” The evening was warm, and the windows were thrown open to admit the air. Jose- phine removed herglovcs and bonnet,which the old' lady took. and laid one side, then sealed herself near the . window, while J ese~ phine took the chair assigned. to her by the lawyer, who proceeded at once to the busi- ness of the hour. She did not find it difficult to perform what was required of her. The next evening, and the next, and the next, she. came, performed her task and went away, always treated with the same defer- ence and respect both by the lawyer and his mother. A month passed, and the last paper was nearly finished. One more even- ing’s work would complete her labor, and she felt sorry that it was so. She had found her evenings’ occupation very agreeable, not at all arduous, and had enjoyed the companionship of Mrs. Latimer and son too much not to regret the loss of their society. Herbert Luiimcr, afler giving the necessary directions to his amanuensis, had gone out, and after the allotted work was done Jose- phine had chatted wilh his mother, who on- couraged her and gave her great praise for her beautiful penmunship. ' . Herbert Latimer had not been present at all this last evening, but had given his mother a sealed envelope to deliver to .[ose- “My son desired me to give'you this ; he was called away upon business, but he has your address, and when he has mmr cop'ye ing to be done he will send for you.” Josephine expressed .her gratification at having performed the work satisfactorily, and took leave of the friendly old lady, who promised to call and see her insisting that Josephine’s visits musi not 'be discontinued altogether. The envelope, when opened, discloeed a bank-note of much larger amount than Josephine had expected. A few weeks after this Herbert asked his mother om- evz‘ning how,~long Josephine’s husband had been dead. He asked the question with some embarrassment. Mrs. Latimer looked at him sharply. “Not two years yet,” she replied. “Do you think she will marry again ?" “Undoubtedly, if the right person were to propose to her. Why should she not ?” “If I thought she would not reject me, I would propose to her ‘to—mogrew," said be, firmly. Tb e-nld lady took off her glasses and laid them in her work-basket, then turned and deliberately scanned the face of her son sit- ting opposiie. ' ' “I think you would not be rejected, if I am any judge of human nature; and she would make a good wife, loo. Iam glad you love her, Herbert.” ’ - The old lady said this earnestly. The truth was she had many misgivings about a certain cousin of Herbert’s, whom he had professed to be interested in, but who was everything but a favorite with herself: She had beéome fond of Josephine, and regarded the intended proposal of her son with the greatest favor. Josephine had obtained employment at home— the copying of a series of lectures— and lived in the greatest seclusion. She had been to see Mrs. Lalimer but once since she' was employed there, but had been visited several times by her kind friend, and once Mr. Latimer had joined her when she we8 out walking. The look of pleased surprise upon her face had given him pleasure and encoUragement, and that evening he had re- solved, as he had saiu to his mother, to pro- pose to her. She could scarcely comprehend that he meant it—really meant that he wanted her to become mistress of his home as she had been mistress of his heart, (from the first day he saw her,) but he convinced her of his love, and when he left her the evening after the conversation with his mother, she was the afilanced of one who had excited the ambitious dreams of one- half the maneuvering mammas and mar4 riageable daughters around. ' A JAPANESE nonrA'NCE. THE STONE-CUTTER. Once upon; time there was in J npan‘a poor stone cutter, a simple workm'an- in the quarries. His life was rude, he worked much, gained little and was not at all con- tented wiih his fate : . “Oh, if I could only be rich encugh to rest, to sleep on thick matting, wrapped up ' in a kirmon of soft silk!” Such was the sigh he breathed to heaven.

Why am I not the emperor f” “Thou shalt be,” said the angel. And indeed, he became the emperor. He had an. escort of Cavaliers before and be- hind him, and people who held above his head an immense parasol resplendent with gold. However,- the sun with his ardent beams dried up the country, and the dusty road, quivering with his brightness, fatigued the eyes. - ‘ “It is a great advantage to, be emperor,” .cried the man, “when the heat of the day exhausts you, and the sun never ceases to. make you feel his power 1 But if one could be the sun!” ' “BehOld! Are you satisfied f” the, angel asked. For he had become the sun, and he darted his beams up and down, right and left and all around, him. And he scorched the herbage of the earth and the face of the princes upon the earth. , - But a cloud thrust itselfbetweeu the earth fiandhim ; it held back the rays of the sun and prevented them from falling upon the earth’s surface. ' ' “There is strength,” cried the sun4-“a cloud capable of resisting my power. It would be better if I were a cloud.” “Very well," said the angel. And the transformation was at once ac- complished. The new cloud placed itself haughtily between the sun and the earth, 'and so thoroughly intercepted the rays of the sun that it soon saw the earth covered with its shadow. Then it caused big drops of rain, and pouring showers and water spouts to fall on the land, so that the torrents burst their bounds and the rivers spread over and devastated the fields. Nothing resistedthe force of the inunda- tion ; only a rock defied it, perfectly motion- less. In vain the bellowing waters beat it in their fury, the rock vielded not, but the foaming waves died at its feet. “A rock, then, is my superior,” said the cloud ; “1 would rather be in its place.” “You shall be,” said the angel. “And he was transformed-into a steep, un- shaken rock, insensible lo the rays of the sun, indifferent to the torrents of rain and the shock of the tumultuous waves. ' Nevertheless, he distinguished at his feet a man of poor~ appearance, hardly clothed, but armed with a chisel and a hammer ; and. the man, with the help of these instruments, struck off pieces of. the rock, which be dressed into stones proper for cutting. _ “What is that?” cried the rock ; “has a- man the power of reading pieces of stone frommy breast? Shall I be weaker than he ? Then it is absolutely necessary thatl should be that man ?” ' “Hqu your will,” said the angel, and he became again what he had been—a poor stone—cutter, a simple workman in the mint- ries. His life was rude, he worked much and gained little, but he was content with his lot. - ' COMPANIONSIIIP on Does—For children, especially in the country, there is no better playmate than a healthy, young, and spright- 1 dog.

M in. W AM. The 15" otllot-l. In the fourth meteorological report by Professor J. P. Espyrof Washington, D. 0., we find the following instructive genealo- tiOn's;—— ' , " ' 1. The rain and snow stems, and even the moderate rain and snows, travel from the west towards the east in the Uni States, during the months of Noveniber, December, January, February and March, which are the only months to which these generalizations apply. _ 7 2. The storms are accompanied with a de- lins of the storm, anda rise of the barometer in the front and rear. 3. This central line or minimum pressure is generally of great length from north to south, and moves side foremost towards the ea‘st.’ ' , - ' L This line is sometimes nearly straight but generally curved, and most fi'equently with its convex side towards the east. 5. The velocity of this line is such that it travels from the Mississippi to the Connecti- cut river in twenty-four hours, and than the Connecticut to the St. Johns, Newfoundland, in nearly the same time, or about thirty-six miles an hour. 6. When the barometer falls suddenly in the western part of New England, it rises at the same time in the valley of the Mississippi and also at St. Johns, Newfoundland. _ 7. In great storms the wind for several hundred miles on both sides of the line of minimum pressure blows toward that line. directly or obliquely. 8. The force of this wind is inproportion to the suddenness and greatness of the bar- ometer. . ' 9. In all greetiand sudden depressions of the barometer‘there is much rain or snow ; and in all sudden great rains or snow there is a great depression of the. barometer next the center of the storm, and rises beyond its borders. ' _' , 10. Many storms are of great and unknown length from north to south, reaching beyond our observation on the Gulf of Mexico and on the northern lakes : while their cast and west diameter is comparatively small. These storms therefore move side foremOst. 11. Most 'storms commence in the “far west,”'beyoud our western observers, but some commence in the United States. 12. When a storm commences in the United States the line of minimum pres- sure does not come from the-“far west,” but commences with the storm, and travels with it toward the eas‘iward. 13. There is generally a lull of wind at the line of minimum pressure, and sometimes a calm. ' _ - » > 7 - 14. When the line of minimum pressure passes an observer toward the east, the wind generally changes to the west, and the barometer begins to rise. - 15. There is generally but little wind near the line of the maximum pressure, and on each side of that line the’ winds-are irregular, but. lend outwardfrom that line. generally greater in'ihc eastern than in the western partof the United States. . 17. The fluctuations of the barometer are generally greaterin the northern’than in the southern part of the, United States. _ 18.. In the ~rnerthern part of the United Slatesthe wind generally sets in from the north of east, and terminates from the north of west. . 19. In. the southern part of the United States the wind generally sets in from the south of east, and terminates from the south ofwest. . ' 20. During the passage of stems the wind generally changes fi'em the eastward to the ‘westward by south, especially in the sorIthern parts of the United, States. 21; The northern part of the Storm gene- rally travels more rapidly toward the cast than the southern part. ' 22. During. the high barometer, on the day preceding the storm, it is gei'ierally clear and mild in temperature, especially if very cold weather preceded. . ’ 23. j'I’he temperature generally falls sud- denly on the passage of the center of great storms. so that, semetimes, when a storm is in the middle of the United Siates,"the low- _est temperature of the month will be in the WeSt en the someday that ;the highest tem- peraidre'is 'in'th'e east. ~ , 1 . u ‘ Some of the storms it is true, are contained entirely, fer‘a time, within the bounds of my observer's,‘and in that cast! the minimum barometer does riot exhibit itself in‘a line of great length, extending from north to south, but it is confihed to a regionine’a'r‘ the center of' the storm, and travels with the center toward the eastward. I . ' From these experiments it may be safely inferred, contrary'to the general belief of scientific men, that vapor permeates the air from a high to a low Adewpoint with ex- treme slowness, if,'indeed it permeates it at all ; and in meteorology, it will'hereafter be known} that vapor rises into the regions where clouds are forCed only by being car- ried up by ascending currents 'of- air con- tainiug it. ‘ ’ " _ ' “' The Wanderer. .‘ ‘ ~' . . . _ ‘, 9 .
