I had read with delight the " Arabian Nights," and they were always a ready hook of reference for nty day-dreams. Though I had never seen, of course I had dreamt of my fairy prince before now. I was nineteen years old. Eggs and poultry, the matter-of-fact realities of my every-day life, the absolute seclusion of our pretty cot tage liomc, embosomed in its sliade of trees, none of these things had sufficed to shut out the vision. My prince was not, however, like my palace, after the copy of Aladdin.— I had always rather objected to the tailor parentage of thut hero, er things.

Bhe had been more than a mother to me since I had lost my hardly ten years old, and before that 1 seemed to have two mothers, for Aunt Sarah had always lived with us ; the two were much alike, and knew then which was the dearest. My father had lived w hen i was a bujiy, and I only cliild, so now Aunt Murah and I lived alone together, and were all in all to each other. We were poor, but lmd enough for our simple wunts in the cottage which was our own,—enough and to spare,—for besides the half-yearly hampers we sent to the Smiths of Westminster, and to others in our own rank of life, there we those in the village poorer than who blessed Aunt Sarah's charity, not In the half-year, but every day of the year. Well, then. Aunt Sarah looked up and smiled at my entrance. " Is the hamper packed already, Chrissv ?" she said. " No, auntie, dear ; I came in because I had something to show you," und l gave her the piece of the newspaper. Aunt Sarah took her spectacles from lier pocket ; Jut dear eyes had been failing the last year or two; site could knit, but read without likt angel linn any • She was vhen I wt •Ives, ,1 j glasses. She had glanced through the few lines of the adver- i tfaerpent : bill she did not speak iincmdiatc adjupted them, ly.

True, wc had both ; of us been to Exeter more than once, and ; railroad all the way from Exeter 1 to London ; but Aunt Buruh hud never trav eled by ruilroad in her life, had never trusted me to do so ; in Iter young days there had been no such mode of transit : railroads, balloons, and M. Blondin's feats on the tight-rope.they were all fraught with strange peril in her imagination. " I fear not, my darliug. I would take you indeed if J could, but you know the doctor told mo to avoid uli excitement, 11,1 d I'm afraid the journey would be too much for me. 1 must take care of my poor health for your sake, ('hrissy, till you have body else to take care of you." How could Aunt Sarah think 1 would be so selfish ? 1 would not have hud her go for the world. But I was young ami strong.- I should not be afraid even of the rallw ! there vj * with its great rampant fire-engine, and I hud been thinking— By degrees I unfold««! »»y plan.

And would not the Westmin ster Smiths meet me there at the statiou.and let me stay with them for a week ? A week would bo quite sufficient time to settle all y business with Messrs. Rudge and Flinch, —how important I fdt as I uttered these words !—and not long enough for dear Aunt Barali to feel lonely, and mi»» The Westminster Smith* had always written such kind lettei eli. eeoipt of the hampers, and manifested such warm interest in their dear cousin Christina, I thought they would only be too glad to have a week's visit fr ber. 1 had run ou so fast thut Aunt Sarah had not been aide to get a word Iu, but as site noted my eagerness, her face had changed, and I saw I should persuade her according to my wish. I had told Martha I should not do anything Aunt Sarah did not approve- ah! but didn't Martha and I both know she never in all her life refused her approval to anything ou which I hud «et my heart, when it was not absolutely wroug ? Aud there was no wrong in my going to London. Aunt Barali demurred a little at first at my staying a week with the Westminster Smiths; they might not like it, and could not well refuse, if she asked it as a favor. Aud she didn't like asking favors of people without being able to make some return. I suggested the hampers might be looked upon us a turn, and we might send them oftener, again in the spring, instead of waiting till midsummer. But aunt said she could not look upon the hampers in that light, they were only by keeping up the family feeling aud immemorial custom. And then a bright idea struck her, re. " Huppose. ( lirfasy." she said, that when I write to propose that you should spend n veekat W es >1* our cousins to return with you to visit m shire. The last letter said Eli/.!

I told her what Mar tha had said, and she luughed at poor Mr Budge being so arbitrarily turned into a wolf. elf when the ye 1*11 write by to " I dare say lie's a very worthy dear," said Aunt Sarah. " Knowledge about property and things of thut sort comes in the way of their business to lawyers, and it's quite a common tiling, I believe to ad vertise in the newspapers for the persons who haven claim, whom, indeed, they could address in > my other way, being ignorant of their place of residence." ; request I urged " You won't tell them at Westminster, why 1 want tu go to London, on]y say I have some- business to settle ; let me tell my own story when I get there.

And Aunt Surah promised it should lie in tills also as J wished ; and then I kissed her, and thanked lier many times, before I away to finish packing my bumper.

Such w I Mil the sum and substance of the letter. It could not have been kinder. No impertinent curiosity was betrayed as to the nature of much as my business; It was never so named. The thought struck me that very possibly my cousins imagined' it a ? and pretext, and that my journey was undertaken simply that I might see them, aud the great city where they lived. What more likely titan such a wish on my part ? Whut more unlikely than that a girl of nineteen,—they know my age, jt having been some time ago by letter compared and found to be the same as Eliza Jane's,—what more unlikely than that I should have busi ness in London ? Yet, likely or not, I had, —liud'nt I ? ; ; 1 ! mere r kinder, I have said ; yet a very short time after I had read it, Aunt bu t ah reiparkefj I was looking unusually grave, aud asked I blushed and hesitated.

And Aunt Barali looked at me with such peculiar meaning in her eyes, that I felt my self blush still deeper as I said,— " I shall leave that for you to do, Aunt Band).

There tire many who would like an answer to tills question. Thousands of young no taouey at uli. To get a classical education with the use of $500, requires more skill than any young man is likely to possess, unless lie earned the money. If he is a mechanic, he may buy a house and lot near a college and work spare hours. Or, with a few acres, uisc small fruits and vegetables, if he knows how : If he does not, he will be likely to fail. $500 is a very small sum to a young man who does not know how to work ; to one who does, it is a large one. Whut shall our young man with his hand some wife do ? Let hint get a small farm ten, twenty or forty acres—near libraries and good society. Or, with a choice selection of hooks, he may live remote, Three things he should do at once ; study mathematics, learn to write a good baud, and plant an orchard. If he must spend some of his hours at billiards and tit saloons, he hud better take a rope about eight feet long and go out to tbe barn. One aim should be to make his home ele gant and comfortable. Let him not fear this will distract bis attention. If there was ever education which was of use could be united with poverty, it lias passed forever.

He never sat at his table with unprepared copy before him aud had a long-winded visitor iusist upon spinning some interminable yarn or laying down in detail some theory on a subject of no particular importance, entirely oblivious of tho fact that the paper must go to press in two hours, and somehow or o»bei that copy must be ab gone through carefttlly, put into the hands of the compositors, trans ferred to type and the proofs read and cor rected before the proas can start. He never had people habitually mistake his sanctum for a reading room, occasionally reading aloud choice extracts from papers which he has already perused and thrown by. He never received calls from idiots who wanted to know whether such and such an article , and, if ?ans so and ,, tl . whether he was willing to make suitable retnictloa and explanation. But an editor of a daily paper has to endure all this and much more. On* of the most vexatious things is the imperfec tion of manuscripts. During the past three yearn there have not come info this office a half dozen manuscripts—even from regular paid correspondents who have written for ;ss for years—that were fit to put into the hands of the compositor. There are his torical errors, geographical blunders, bad rhetoric, bad grammar, bad spelling, wonfa inadvertently omitted, incorrect paragraph ing and punctuation, to a greater or less ex tent, scattered all through them. An editor has to go carefully over every page, pencil in hand, and make corrections ; and when the letter appears in print of course the cred it all (1)4 goes to the correspondent whose 9igna lure is attached—none to the editor.
