"I can understand," interriiiited'he
Miioker, " the sadness til -.iifh a bccne,

"I'm coming to that. The whole par

a witness and an actor in a scene that iu
Uuenccd his whole future life.
The poor, grief siricken (ierman,of
whom.-) his companion, Doctor Townsend,
had spoken, with the dead infant. in dier
arms sat silntly weeping over the little
dead face.
The three -ttinly children, grouped
in childish care about their little dead

ty of DnctorTuwiiscnd'sniliiiiralion and
she who was most certainly to "share the
ends" of the unhappy l.iehanl.
She was a tall, slender girlVjf eighteen,
with magnificent eyes afid hair. As he
entered the car she was speaking.her love
ly law flushed, and the small, rosy mouth
disclosing a beautiful set of tccth.tiirued
bcwitchinglv towards the tall stranger
at the door.
"Ladies and gentleman," spoke up the
sweet voiw, " this poor woman, friend
less, speaking no Knglish, with four
children, was expecting to tiiid work in
St. Louis to support litem. If every
thing had gone well with her, it would
have been ban! tor her ; but with her little
dead babv and her sorrowful heart she
iswrtainly a deserving object of charity;
and I propose that such as feel willing
shall contribute their mite toward a little
purse for her immediate wants and tothe
burial of her poor baby. And," she
added, with a smile, " if any gentleman
will lend me a hat I will go round and
take up a collection. "
in an instant the gallant Richard pulled
his traveling i-..p from his blonde curls
and olfcrd it to the Angel of Mercy, who
accepted it with a snide, this time all his
own and conimenwd gathering the read
ily forthcoming dollars her generous
graceful appeal brought from the purses
of all in the car.
li'chard watched the slender figure in
gray gathering the money; and, looking
at the plaid cap in the white jewelled
lingers, he bethought him of his own do
nation, and stepping to the seat the leau
tv had just owupied he laid his satchel
anil shawl upon a family of its kind, le
longing to the. angel in'grav, and took
from Ids Mcket a ten dollaV bill, which
he placed in the little hand that returned
him his cap. Further damage the poor
fellow received, when a necviiii smile and
warmly worded thanks for hi" liberal
contribution were dealt hini,iTtrom the
beautiful mouth.
Dick was in the midst of an elaborate
reply, when the cars stopped. He lin
gcred yet another moment, seized his
satchel" and shawl with his eyes still on
the face of his charmer, and "then, even
as the cars were again in motion, he lie
thought himself of the doctor,and hurri
edly lift the car and joined his friend on

"Well," ejaculated that worthy, "I

"Now, in all probability," broke in
the doctor, "you'll never meet her in this
vale of tears. Jiut you II know tier in
heaven, if you behave yourself well
enough to get there, by her wings; for
she II have the biggest ot any ol them,
seeing they've commenced to sprout on
earth."
And thus rallying his thoroughly cap
tivated friend, the two made their way
to the house of an acquaintance with
whom they were to remain that night,
and go on the next day to their destina
tion St. Louis.
Afterthc first salutation, our hero went
to his room to remove some of the evi
dcuw of his long ride from New York.
He hail removedliis coat, vest and collar ;
he had splashed and soaped and washed,
when he made a. startling discovery.
Flushed and breathless he burst into
the next room, upon his friend.
"Townsend," cried he, "what upon
earth do you suppose ? I've got the wrong
bag. I've changed baggage with the
Angel of Mercy. Look at that slipper.
See that thimble. Contemplate that
love."
"It's evident you've got the lady's
sutchcl. And what was there in yours ?"
" Don't bring up that dreadful idea,"
said Dick. " Cigars and a hair brush, a
pack of cards and a comb, pocket flask
and a tooth-brush every thing disreputa
ble. If I am ju-'-'od by that bag, I'm a
lost man.
"And this I took for a cleaii shirt,"
and Dick held up a frilled and tinted
sack, sueh as do duty for more exeliisive
night-dresses with ladies when traveling.
' I'd like to see Angelica when she opens
1113- satchel."
And Dick fell to musing, with the slip
per perched 011 two fingers, and the frill
ed white sack spread out tenderly 011 his
knees.
In the upper apartment of a handsome
mansion in St. Louis, 011 the evening of
the day our heroine first made the read
cr's ncipiuiiitanw, beautiful I telle Allien,
ietted and only daughter of the house,
sat contemplating the various articles her
confid uitial maid was disposing upon the
articles taken from no les. a recepta
cle than Dick Marty's traveling bag.
The cards and cigar rase lay side by
wen
"What's in this little silver
I!osa ?" said the fair mislivss.
ll.t-.lc,
"JJrandy, ma'am," replied the maid.
"lie can't be very I'Sssipatcd, to travel
with such a little bottle. That's in case
of sickness, I suppose," returned I" die.
"It is my belief," said Uos.-i, w'i. was
a shrewd girl, "that the geiitlem.t was
a mighty nice one, else you'd no read
ily excuse the cards and the bottle."
" For shame, Kosa. All gentleman
play euchre traveling, and even clergy
men taken little brandy in the case of
sickness," answered Ik-He. " And this
man was a gentleman, and a liberal one,
too, for he gave the poor emigrant wo
man ten dollars What's that, UosaJ"'
For, at that moment, I'osa held be
tween her lingers a litter.
Whether it was wrong to read a stran
ger's letter vexed Jielle for a moment, as
her eyes glanced at the superscription
and hand-writing.
" Why, of all things! " exclaimed the
delighted girl, seizing the letter. " Why,
Kosa, this is Jenny .Marcy's writing, and
addressed to l.iehanl M: rch her" only
darling brother who was in Kurope
when we two graduated at Madam Hit
ter's in Urnoklyn."
llelle read rapidly till she had reached
the middle of the letter, when she burst
into a merry laugh.
"Hear this this Ko-i'aiid she read
from the letter:
"Above all things, Dick, dear, don't
fail, while in St. Louis, to see my best
friend ami schoolmate, llelle Alden. I
know you will fall in love with her, for,
besides being the best girl in the world,
she's a beauty and an heircs, and lather's
choice above all others, for his sou's wife.
He used to talk it over at home, and
hope llelle would not marry before you
came home from Kurope. She is full as
anxious to know you, and wears your
hair and mine in a locket father gave
her last year. Give her lots of love, and
beg her to overlook your many inier
fectious for the sake of her old school
mate, Jenny."
"Then tin's gentleman is of course,
Miss. Jenny's brother, said IJosa," ' and
what will she say when she hears of your
having met in this romantic way ?"
"1 don't intend to tell her of it till I
go toew ork this tail, said IJellc.
" IV-rhajis her brother will call."
But in this supHtsitiou Hello was mis
taken. The month iia.od, and she saw
no more of the goIdcn-hcadd Kiehanl.
And she carefully separated the yellow
loek in the little keepsake from the dark
tress of Jenny's and put it back into its
plaw alone, while another locket held
the bit of Jenny's. And, however, Itelle
looked very, very, often at the wee gold
en curl, and she never did so luit the rest
of the handsome head sprang up beside
the lock; and s!ie would sii and coutcm-
late the picture her fancy wrought for
cr, little dreaming the intenst she was
allowing to grow in her bossoni for Jen
ny's brother.
In the fill Hello antl her father went
to Now York, and the first day after her
arrival foil, " her sitting with her old
friend, who,at terthe cffuive meeting was

"But tell me,"! said Belle, "is your

Its positively awtul.
And so Belle thought, as hc looked
at her old slipper and glove lying lieneath
a globe on either side ot the t.ulhtul
Uichartl's mantle.
" And," said Belle, " since he desires
only to meet me 011 the morning of the
wcddmg,-soit shall lie. I will lie intro
duced only as we are leaving the house,
and he can do as he pleases about con
tinuing the uctiunintance afterwards.
Uelle was radiant with happmes- when
she returned to her father, and delighted
Ins tond heart by the change, for Belle
had been very quiet ot late.
Jciiuv and Uelle shopped and talked
and visited together for the next few
lays, and when the eventful morning ar
rived, and amid a bevy of lieautiful girls,
Uelle shone like a queen, the bmle was
eclipsed, and delightfully acknowledged
it.
"Oh, Belle!" she tried; "I long to
lave old stoical Dick see you .Hark!
there's" his step. Come into the next
room now, and lie lutrotittwii. Uout
wait till the carriages come it's an hour
yet."
And 15c lie, with a beating heart, swept
through the door and stood even as Hick
firt saw her, only, in place of the gray
traveling dress, 11 magnificent white satin
fell in rich folds about her, 011 her lovely
white throat lay the turquois locket that
held Dick's golden curl. Upon the beau
tiful head, ero.vned by its thcstnut hair,
a caroual ot pearls added to the grace
and beauty ot an image that, shrined in
Wick s heart, was already an angel
Belle did not look up, but she feet the

presence, as liicliard Marcy came up and
was introduced to little Jenny's old
schoolmate. Then, as he held out his
hand, she raised her eyes, and laid her
tiny balm iu bis, and said:
"1 think we had better rectify that
mistake about the traveling-bags, Mr.
Marcy!"
"tiood Heaven, .Tennv !" said Dick
Marcv, " Why didn't vou tell me that
vour friend Belle was my "Angel ol
"Mercy?"
" Because I did't know till last night,
and then Belle made me prnjnise not to
tell. And besides, you didn't want to
meet the freckled schoolgirl till it was
positively necessary," returned Jenny,
mischievously.
It would be luird to say which of the
four that made Jeny's bridal Jarty was
tin happiest that day.
Dick did not go to Paris that winter.
He found that St. Louis contained mure
attractions than any foreign city.
But the next fall will see Dick and
Belle on their weddingtour, and he vows
he will have the two old ramantic trav
eling bags brushed up for the occasion.
Doctor Townsend, who is to go along,
says he knew the minute he saw the girl
dfe would one day be Angelina -Marcy,
as ho " felt it in the air."

A Bui Tree. A section or the " Origi
nal Big Tree" of Calarerous county,
California, recently arrived at Boston.
The tree from which this section is taken
was cut in 18."3 ; five men worked twen-
tv-tive days in telling it, inesunapea

more than eighty feet long, are built uiKin
a itortion ot the nrostrate'tmnk. The
bark was- from fifteen inches to two feet
in thickness and a section was brought
to New York for the Crystal I'alace. A
jMirtion was also sent to the Crystal Pal
aw. Emnand. at the time ol the world's
exhibition. The estimated age of the
tree was alout twenty-five hundred
years. The weight of "this section, at
thirty feet Irom the ground, is eight thou
sand pounds, its diameter nearly sixteen
feet, and t.ircumfcrenee forty-six feet. It
is the only section of the solid wood of
the tree orer brought from California

lfio, "Old Ben" made a voyage down
South for the benefit of hi liealph. He

Seth Hawkins was as fine aspecimea of j
manhood as can be seen tall, broad-
shouldcrcd, well proportioned, eyes of
tlie deepest blue, light hair, and ruddy
countenan w, which U-tokened a familiar
ity with out-door occupation. Suffice it
to say, he was a farmer, and wcll-N - lo
in this world's goods, but alHictcd'with a
disease called bashfuiucss.
He was deeply in love with a pretty,
sparkling, rogulah-eved lass, whom we
shall call Sally T '-.
Seth coiiM talk politics, farming, ami
upon all the usual topics of the day, when
not in Sally's comtiauy '; but when he
really became seatetl in her presence, his
courage left him, and ho left all the talk
ing to Sally. anwentr only in uionosyb-
lablrs-. . . ,
The latter guessed how matters sttrisl
with htm, and, in a spirit of mischief, in
creased bis einbamissment by several
little remarks which almost drove him
to distraction, and made him think his
case was hoplcss
He had courted Sally a long time, hail
never found sufficient courage to know
his fate.
One pleasant Sunday evening, he again
sailed .forth, determined to know the
worst,aud to ask Sally to ,be his. lie
found her sitting by a liright blazing fire
in the kitchen, ainflookiug prettier than
ever, with her rosy cheeks and laughing
eyes. Her mother sat in an old fashion
ed rocking chair, reading her Bible, while
a candle, sittingonastaud close by, serv
ed to light the appartmeiit.
She seatetl him in a chair near the fire,
and after making a few remarks,to which
he gave the nsaal monyosyllabical an
swers, he looked up, and caught Sally's
eye, and she immediately turned her
head, with a smile.
He felt the blood rush to his head and
law, as he scanned his person over to
see if he could discover the cause of her
mirth, whenlo! on turning his head half
round, he discovered some white cloth
behind him.
Now, the question was what it could
be.
He awaited another opportunity, and
when Sally was not looking, put his arm
behind him, and slipping his hand under
the edge of bis jacket, prorcccdcd to push
it down into the back of his pant.
He telt a relief, and, on looking up,
perceived that Sally was convulsed with
suppressed laughter.
He looked around again, and, to his
utter astonishment, fonnd that, instead
of the cloth diappcaritig, it seemed larger
than before.
The perspiration started at even pore,
and with a quick, nervous push, he ma le
another effort to get out of sight. Auoth
er opportunity soon presented itself,
when he made a finish of it, and with
the -perspiration standing iu drops all
over his forehead, he felt almost out of
patience with Sally for building stub a
hot fire.
At the moment of its disapc.-imiiw,
Sally, who had In-eu watching affairs 011
the sly, burst into a loud kmI of laugh
ter, and rushed into the room adjoining,
giving the doora loud slam, which caus
ed the old lady to look up with astonish
ment, and Seth to seize his hat and rush
from the house, toward home, as fast a
his legs could carry him, and iu anything
but a happy frame of mind.
Stilly soon made her appeamnw again,
and her mother remonstrated with her
upon her unchristiaulike conduct ujkii a
Sabbath evening.
Sally bore it with as much composure
as possible, but said nothing to her moth
er of the cause of her mirth.
I'retty soon the old lady made prepa
rations for bed, and soon began to search
for her night-gown ; but failing to find
it, came out ot the bed room saying:
"Sail, where is my night dress ? I left
it somewhere, and I can't tell for the life
of me, where."
" l'hu SUh JLiicIIm icore it hmnf I " she
replied.
" What! wore it homo!"
Amid tears and laughter, Sally explain
cd the event of the evening to her moth
er.
The next afternoon a boy rapped at
the door, and presented a pack ige for
Miss Sally, which she soon ojene I, and
found thennlaeky night dress, " niwly
washed and ironed, with the following
words, signed " Paal," written on a bit
of paper, in encil : " I am much obliged
for the use of it."
The next time ther met, he fonnd hi
bashfalncss had disappeared, and lefore
leaving Sally, he had gained her consent
to be his own little wife.

Energy on the part vf a new State or
Territory, like energy applied in any
business, has its reward. As an instance,
the territories of Kansas and Nebraska
claim bat about llrt,OU0. We sitttply
mention tlie tacts to illustrate tlie benefits
of advertising. Kansas was the best ad
vertised territory ever admitted as a
State into the Federal Union. John
Brown, whose soul is still supoul to
be 011 eternity's grand march, was the first
great ad vcnisciiicnt Kansas had. In thai
line he was a success. Virginia asistd
materially iu so doing when she choke!
the old mail to death. Nebraska has
jast as good land as Kansas, but larks
neri'iicrgy, her progressive, live, wide
awake imputation. That is what's the
matter. Nebraska was arl nettled by a
chans of easy-going Puritanical doswnd
ants who thought all they had to do was
lo" squat "down on 11 quarter section of
land and the Lord would either shower
itianiiadown upon it, as in the olden lime,
or convert the tract into lots at from one
to 0110 thousand dollars a loot. Kansas,
with its mongrel population from all sorts
of communities and Stalcssooii found
they hail to " not hog or die," and with
all their droiithy weather, their ieculiar
ly alterating crops, fearful winds, Ac, by
tooting a loud horn a judicioiis.svstcm

rank ol Western Mates and more than
dotibbtl in ten years the family increase

of advertising Scdalia (.Mii.,)Ai.m.
The ab.ivo is to great extent true, but
it is tinctured with the old spirit of mali
cious jealously which even to the present
day afflict acertaia class ofMissourians,
whose proclivities ntsed not be menlioii.
ed. Kansas has belHs to make history,
but she has a superiority iu climate and
soil, which is fully as attractive as her
attractive as her historical renown. As
rouiiun.il with Nebraska, Kansas has ad
vantage in climate ami soil which can
not be denied. As to the mongrel pop
ulation, in one important particular it is
entirely tlestitute of mougrelisni all are
intelligent, as all acquainted with our
pcoplu know. They build more chun lies
and school-houses, and support more
newspapers in proportion to the popula
tion than any State in the Union. As
t drought, 110 one licttcr knows that this
clap-trap bugbear is only a means resort
ed to turn the tide of immigration in his
own direction, than this same editor of

a few miles should work such a radical
and complete change iu climate and at

The marriage ol a daughter of the
ijuccn of Kuand with a sou of the Duke
of Argyll has brought out a number of
curious pirticiilars cotineetisl with the
Cam Ik-I Clan, of which the Duke is chief.
Perhaps t(ie iiioi curious of thrsois 30
old prophecy, iu the following singular
words:
Whi'n llf mole shall rei-li the Mull;
when the holly-tree near Iuver.iry shall
Is'ilestroyed; when a road shall be made
throughout the country; when Im-IN shall
ring trom a rock in 1m-Ii Fyne ; when
Stroiie Point shall lw covcrol with
woods, and when the Atlantic shall flow
into lOfh Fvue, then shall the Argyll
Campbells be driven from Kintyre.
exu'pt tu. many as shall escajte on a
crooked and a. lime white horse.
If this ppipheey be really uueieut, il

nearly every one of the-.; conditio. 1
have been fulfilled, or is likely lo U. A
