ADAM F LU) G E'S GOLD.
-0
Mr. ?i?ani Flidgei, of ^fnddyhroek,
U. S./returrredMrom California, after
an absence of two year?, bringing
home with him seven thousand dol
lars in gold. This snug sum was
considered a iori tine in Muddybrook;
and Muddybrook accordingly extend
ed its ariosto receive the amiable
Adam ; although-I am eorry to say ,
-the Flidge family being poor, the
young adventurer had never been ap
preciated by his towns people, until
the news that he had made his for
tune in California, opeucd their eyes
to his extraordinary merits.
All black, and bearded, and un
couth in his manners, as Adam was,
he was caressed by the first people
of Muddybrook-people gay and
proud, who had formerly noticed
Adam no more than if he had been
a dog. But Adam, fresh from the
society of barbarians, and although
unaccustomed to the smiles of the
tender sex, W;:S flattered, bewildered,
and. dazzled by the bright ey.es which
beamed fondly on him now. Wo
man's smiles to him were welcome as
the breath of Spring to the bleak
hills and tempest rended trees. With
a heart hungry for love, it is no won
der that he betrayed the most amia
ble of human weaknesses, no wonder
that even beautiful Matilda Moore
lcd him a willing captive ; the cold
and coquettish Matilda, to whom
Adam had offered himself in the day
of his poverty, and been flatly, con
temptu ously rejected.
Seen through gold bound glasses,
however, Adam appeared no more
the worthless wretch Mafiida for
merly considered bim. As the young
est of five unmarried daughters, in
whose maiden footsteps she was fol
lowing fasti the proud Matilda wis.??'
pretty well tja lilied to judge ol
Adam's newly discovered merits. Sh?
judged indeed ; and when the stupid
fellow, believing every women true,
once more offered her nia hand, sn?
graciously accepted it. Adara al
most believed himself to bo the
most fortunate fellow in the.world.
But while Adam was so happy,
somebody was very miserable. '?V
every laugh of his som? body echoed
a sigh. While the balance of his
happiness was full, that of another
kicked the beam. That other was
his foster sister-the fair Kose, who
had loved him ever, from his youth
upward with an unaltered affection. .
She was a gentle,>? winning* creature; .
and it is one of the wonders of Cu
{>id that Adam had never fallen in
ove with her. She was fairer than.
Matilda Moore,' and .t must have been
a silly pride which caused Adam to
prefer the position of the latter to the
character o? Rose.
Adam, in effect, did not appreciate
Rose. He did not understand her.
Could he have known Low. well she
loved him, th? startling truth might
have brought, him to his senses. jjiiv, .
he was ono of Cupid's bats : he could
not see the light. Often, after hhs
?return, he discovered tears in the soft
eyes of Rose.'
? " My dear sister," he would say,
"what is.the matter?" kissing her
fondly', and playfully blowing the
tears off from her long lushes. " What
h thc matter ?"
. Foolnot to see 1 iool not to discov
er, ia per evasive* answeis, the grief
which was blahing h&r lierfrti Blind,
indeed !-he appeared to see nothing
but the .-charms of Matilda, and the
glitter of his gold, which he kept
locked np in a stout oaken chest,
previously to investing it in a farm
?or*'.self and wife."
No^w Adam had many ?old friend.?
who warned him against Matilda, and
whose wise ?ouasel was despised.
His father and elder brother bagged
him to make a diff?rent choice, en
deavoring lo convince- him that it
^vas only hi*3 money that Matilda
loved.
? " Do you think Tm.a baby ?" cried
Adam, once in Rose's presence.
Can't I n?ad a woman's heart ? if
Matilda didn't love mo, "do you slip
pose I would ho fool enough not
to see it? She'd have me for a li'ns
biHkl if I hadn't a penny in the
world." .
' She wouldn't look at you," ex
claimed his fttlier.
Upon whir.1!, both left the house
in different 'directrons, ftose, tem*

of his weapons, and l?ft them in j.lace
of the gold. At all events the gold :

The Nice Toling Man.
This phrase i-; becoming quite com

not much more so than the nuisance
it represents. Sensible people to
mourn over the degradation of the
human species when it wears the

c?terpillers and centipedes, are love

the poodle dog of the social world.
Me simpers, spouts, strut-? and brags.
He is nice in his dress-a perfect
barometer of t?a?ashions. With ap
parent prodigality he goes to eVerv

sensitively self-important. !

hager Beir Does Not Intoxicate.
BY JOSHUA BILLINGS, ESQ.
I hav finally cum to the conclusion
that lag- r beer as a beverage is not
intoxicating. o
I have b,een told, so by a German^
who saidli?had drunk ii all-nite long-/
just to try the experiment, and was
obliged to go home entirely sober in
the morning. I have seen this panie
man drink eighteen glasses, and if he
was drunk he was drunk in German
and nobody could understand it. It
is proper enufi* to .state that this win
kept a lager beer saloon, and could
have no object in stating what was
not strictly thus". * ? ' .* ( *
I believe him to the full extent of
my.abiHty-.'^i never r?rank ?but-three
glasses of lager in my life, and that
made my heel ontwist as tho it w.-is
hung on the end of a string, but I
wai told that it was owing to my bile
bein out of place; and I guess that it
was so, for I ngyer tiled .-over yus
than I did when I got humLthafc" nite.
My wife thot I was going to die, and
X was afraid that I should, for it seem
ed as tho everything J had ever eaten
in my life was cummin to the surface;
and I believe that if my wife hadn't
pulled off my boots juntas she did,
they would qave.cunkthiinde?ing top.
?h,- 'how sk-k i ww !|14 years ago j
and.I can laste ..it now. i ?j j . ' j
I never had so much experience in
so short a time.
If any dian simd tell me that lager
beer was not intoxicating, I simd be
lieve him; but if he shud teli me that
I wuzn't drunk that nite, "but that
my stumickwas out of ordev, I shud
ask him to state over a few " wordsVf
j ret- how a man felt and acted when
he was set up.
If I warn't drunk that nite, I had
sum ov tho.most yat ural ?raturasthat
a man ever had and kept sober. 1
In the first place it was about 80
rods from where I drank the lager
beer to mi house, and I wuz jest over
two hours ou ?lit? r-oad,. and had a,hole
busted thjrpn^MMeirwe of*myWn
taloon nee2, and didn't hav any hat,
and*tried to open/the doer-by -Hte

not wait long enough for it to get ex
actly under me -when - it wuz going
round, and I set down a little-too soon
and missed the chair about-12 inches,
and couldn't get up 80011 enough to
take the next one that come along ;
and that ain't awi; midwife i?edft wuz
drunk as a beast, and, as I sed before,
I began to spin np things freely.
If lager beer r? not intoxicating it*j
used me most almighty mean, that I
know.
Still I hardly think that lager beer
is intoxicating, for i have been told
so; and i am probably I lie only mxii
living w ho ever druid* <-n:.y when hi;

i don't, waiit. to f?:iy emiything
against a harmless temperance bev
erage, but if ever I drink enny more,
it will he with mi hands lied beni nd

I d ?nt think lager beer is intoxica

it tristes to mo like, a SI??H of soap
