"Who was on the island besides her V' "O," said she, "only my guardian angel. l'oor Mr. Welch died the first week we were here." lie parted the hair on her brow, and kissed it tenderly. "And who is your guardian angel ?" "Why, you are now, my own papa; jnd well you have proved It. To think :>f ynur being the one to come, at your *ge!" "Well, never mind me. Who liaB taken such care of my child??this sick ;lrl they frightened me about!" "Indeed, papa, I was a dying girl. My very band was waisted. Look at it now; brown as a berry, but bo plump; pou owe that to him; and, papa, I can svalk twenty miles without fatigue: ?nd so strong; 1 could take you up in my arms and carry, I know. But I am jontent to eat you." (A Bhower of kiBses.) "I hope you will like him." "My own Helen. Ah ! 1 am a happy >ld man this day. What 1b hia name?" "Mr. Haz9l. He is a clergyman. O rmpa, I hope you will like him, for he nut* saved my life more than once : and hen he has been so generous, so delljate, bo patient; for I used him very 11 at first; and you will find my chnricter as much improved as my health : ind all owing to Mr. Hazel. He is a clergyman: and O, so good, so humble, io clever, so self denying ! Ab I how srii I ever repay him?" "Well, 1 shall be glad to see this parigon, and shake him by the baud. You may imagine what I feel to any one Lbat is kind to ray darling. An old gentleman? about, my age?" "O no, papa." "Hum 1" "If be bad been old I Bhould not be here; for he has had to fight for me gainst cruel men with knives: and work like ahorse. He built me a hut, and made me this oave, and almost kiUsd himself in my service. Poor Mr. Hazel!" "How old is he?" "Dearest papa I never nBked him that: but I think he is louror live years aider than me, and a hundred years belter than 1 Bhall ever be, I am afraid. What is the matter, darling 7" "Nothing, child, nothing." "Don't tell me. Can't I read jour iear face ?" "Come, let me read yours. Look me in the face, now: full." lie took lier by the shoulders, (irmly, but not tlio least roughly, and looked straight into her hazel eyes. She blushed ut this ordeal,?blushed scarlet; hut tier eyes, pure as Ueaveu, faced his fairly. though with a puzzled look. lie concluded thia paternal inspection by kiBsing her on the brow. "I was an jld fool,3' he muttered. "What do you say, dear papa ?" "Nothing, nothing. Iviss me again. Well, love, you had belter tind this guardian angel of yours, that I may :nke him by the hand and give him h father's blessing, and make him some iittle return by carrying him home to England along with my darling." "I'll call him, papa. Where can he ae gone, 1 wonder." She run out to the terrace, and callid,? "Mr. Hazel! Mr. Hazel! X don't see liiin; bill he can't bo lar off. Mr. Hazel!" Thou she came back, and made her father sit do wn: and she sat at his knee, beaming with delight. "Ah, papa," said she, "it was yon who loved me best in Kngland. It was you that came to look for me." "No," said lie, "there are others there !hat loved you as well in their way. Poor Wardiawlon his sick-bed for you, 2ut down like a llower the moment he lieard you were lost in the l'roserpine. Ah, and I have broken faith." "That is a story," said Helen; "you couldn't." "l'ora moment I mean; I promised the dear old man?he rurnished the ship, the men, and the mony, to tind you. He says you aro as much his daughter as mine." "Well, but what did you promise him?" Baid Helen, blushing and interrupting hastily, forshecould not bear the turn matters were taking. "O, only to give you the second kiss from Arthur. Come, better late than never." She knelt before him, and put out her forehead iustead of her lips. "There," said the (ieneral, "that kiss is from Arthur Wurdlaw, your intended. Why, who the deuce is this?" A youug man was standing wonderstruck at the entrance, and had heard the Uenerai's last words ; they went through him like a knife. Ueneral Kollins stared hi him. Helen uttered an ejaculation of pleasure, and said, "This is my dear father, and he wants to thank you?" "I don't, understand this," said the General. "I thought you told me there was nobody on tbe island but you and your guardian angel. Did you count this poor fellow nobody ? Why, he did you a good turn once." "O papal" said Helen, reproachfully. "Why this ? my guardian angel. This is Mr. Hazel." Tim Onnnrol 1/inlrn/l f?>nm r\no t n an. other in amazement, then be said to Helen, "Thisyour Mr. Hazel?'' "Yes, papa." "Why, you don'tmenn to tell meyou ilon'tknow this ma??" "Know him, papa ! why, of coarse I know Mr. Hazel; know him and revere him, beyond all the world, except yon." The General lost patience. "Are you out of your senses?" said he; "This man here is no Hazel. Why, this Is James Seaton?o.ur gardener?a ticket of-leave man." i to it oostihued.] Female Suffrage in Tennessee,? In the Tennessee Senate two members bave presented bills to strike the word "male" out of the State constitution, so that women shall have a vote on the same conditions as men. One Mr. Bowles, commonly known, as the newspapers say, as "Old Bowles," capped these bills with another, in which he proposes to abolish the present costume of women: "Whereas, the present costume worn by that class to whom it is proposed to extend the elective franchise is cumbersome and entirely unsulted for the purposes of electioneering and.canvassing, and is found awkward for commoner purposes; therefore "Be it enacted, etc.. That the costumes now worn by female citizens of Tennessee be changed from petticoats to pants, and that this act take effect from and after its passage." Grate Culture in Iowa.?Within a territory embraced in a circuit of fifty miles of Keokuk, Iowa, there are 3,000 acres planted In grapes, nearly all for wine making purposes. One mat in Keoknk has planted seventy-five acres, and is prepared to plant twenty-five more in the spring, all for wine making. Some vine-growers are making f 10,000 per year.

It is said that "tbe coming girl will not look to Paris, but to reason, for her fashions." ?In honor of the birth of the first born, "catnip weddings" have been in- , vented. ?The editor of the Vicksburg Times ; ays: "We have before us invitations to a private mnsical soiree, a cock fight and a wedding." ?A gentleman in Portland, Me., pro- > poses to publish a cyclopedia of mean- ' ness wbich he has been noting down for many years. ?The young men of Chiosgo are said 1 to be classified according to their skill as veloclpedista into the "timid toddler," the "wary wabblers," the "goIt-gracefuls" and the "fancy few." ?Tbe average time for the transmission of European dsepatches from Ijondonto America is four hours. Arrangements are now on foot to reduce this time to one boor, so that despatches, which are sent from London at noon, will be due here at 8 o'clock in tbe morning. ?A circus seems to be a profitable investment. Tbe report of one year's business oi a prominent ono that is going around the country shows $194,700 receipts, and profits over expenses of $53,100. ?A southern paper says: "If the P?mr?iaQlAna* ilulona ltd ramnrul much longer, the dead dog at the corner of Capital street will dry up and blow away." i ?If the scheme on foot for making a voyage agross the Atlantic in a balloon , succeeds, we shall have a dozen of balloons running opposition to the Bteamers In less than a year. ?The Richmond papers complain of : the city authorities for having leased one of the principal public srjuares of that city at fl25 a year "for a corn field and hog pen." ?Fanny Fern inys that for every woman fool she will find a man fit to be her mate, and that because a few men in New York and London and l'arls wear corsets, and dye their whiskers and hair, and pad out their hollow cheeks and shrunken calves, it does not follow that Victor Hugo, and John t Bright, and the great army or brave men who won the victory over the re belllon, are all popinjay9. LITEBART DiTTEIW. ?The Marietta Register speaks of the Cincinnati Commercial as "the livest paper in America, or the universe for that matter." This Is high praise, coming from tho Register, which Is the beat country paper that comes to our table. , ?Tha New York Sim sayB that those 1 who have never heard George Francis , Train speak, can have no idea of the j strong faculty he possesses: "lie is eccentric, eloquent, comical, pathetic, satirical, egotistical, but his , hold on his auditors never relaxes? i their interest in the unprecedented en- . tertainment never lings. There is al- : ways a method In his madness, and a ; prosaic design in his poetry, which makes it tell the wonderful effect upon i the mind at which It is directed, ilis 1 intellect teems with idoasand his mem- ( ory with facts, and they flow from his > lips in a rushing Btream, sometimes turgid with exaggeration, sometimes I electrical with passion, but always full, 1 living and powerful." ?The Albany Journal says of Manton Marble, editor of the New York World: ' Personally, he is a hard- j working, Indefatigable man. lie de- i votes his personal attention to nil the j details of his business, and generally spends almost the entire night In the H'cr.'ci offlco, appearing at his home up town, and dining at an hour when mo- J 1--- 1 nnnarmllrr ha. I tuauiua nuu Trwimuguuvu - -j ~v gin to turn over iu bed lor their last lorty winks. Those who know his habits say he is u marvel of endurance." ' ?Don Piatt in a late Washington letter thus speaks of 1'artou whom he met j at u dinner of the Press Club: Parton is a thin, queer, gentlemanly looking man who carries forty-eight on hiB countenance. Above the medium 1 height, ho is slender and ends in a head, round and smallish. lie has an oil eye, a hooked nose, prominent chin, i coarse, dark hair, that, encroaches on < hiB forehead, and whiskers to match? i rather thin and uncertain, and struck , me as resembling Don l?uixolu in youth, and indelicate health. < And here is what Don baa to say ' about Geo. Alfred Townsend : I missed that prince of correspond- , ents. George Alfred Townsend. Geo. i Alf. is not on good terms with his j brother quill-drivers. I oan well understand it. It is difficult for a man who , possesses such poworB of ridicule and < sarcasm as G. A. T. to retain personal popularity. The temptation to punc- j ture is fearful, when puuclurlng is so j easy. And next to doing u man a favor, j so us to bring him under obligation, you cannot make him a bitterer enemy t than by getting the laugh on him. You 1 may borrow his money, run oil" with his ! wile, kick his dog, and he may forgive you ; but raise a laugh at his expense, and he will follow you to the death.

Ayer's Hair Vigor, For restoring Gray Hair to its natural Vitality and Color. tA dressing which is at onco agreeable, healthy, and .effectual for preserving the hair. Fiulal or gra;i hair is soon restored to its original color irith the gloss aio1 freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where tlio follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved tinusefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi, . !? 1 _ t 1 menu u will Keep u cieau nuu vigunms. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Vivo from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous aud injurious to the. hair, the Vigor ran nuly benefit hut not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can lie found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts loug on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co..
