I was sitting in my study, reading Mo licre, when she entered the room per fectly unannounced at that. 1 looked up, and Baw an angol in white Marseilles, flounced ; juunty bluo hat, about the size of a saucer, tipped to one side in a most bewitching, heart breaking manner ; and she wore cream colored kids, and carried a white poogeo ; taken II in all a fairy I Sho smiled at me, and held out her hand. I took it mechanically. What did it mean ? She pouted ah t those cherry lips I She stamped her little No. 1 impatiently on the flour. "You don't stem very glad to see me," she said, pettishly. I murmured that I was delighted en raptured. So I was ; such vision were uot of every day occurrence to mo. Wall," said she gleell'ully, "that's comfort 1 Now, they told me that you wouldn't reoeive me; that I should be turned out of doors." "Reptiles 1" said I. "Uut came ; and you aro not angry ?" "Angry I" I could say no more. Then she walkod up and down the room. "(low do yoa like my dress?" she asked, revolving about me as if on a pivot. I murmured something about "angolio superbuess I" "I did intend," she said, half doubt fully, "to get a get a dress of gold satin teen, with tbo underskirt out as usual, and trimmed with deop pluitiog ; tho spuceti to bo filled with bias folds above the plaitiogs in a band of velvet silk ; the side gores rounded up four inches longer, and looped up in a jonnter. that tvith a pretty little sacquo with open sleeves, trimmed to match the undordress, would bo nice wouldn't it ?" I murmured an unqualified assont not that I understood wtiut she was talk ing about, for she uttered the full descrip tion in one breuth ; and then L didu't know what I was saying. "But," said she, "1 bought this Mar seilles btoauso I like it. Don't yuu 'I ' "1 admire your tusto, 1 said, faintly ; tor I was last losing my senses, though wondering who and what she was. "You're a dear good follow," said sho rapturously ; and 1 kuow we will get on famously together I" So she intended to stay hero. I was getting into very deep water I "Now then," she continuod, show me some placo to put my' things, aud then you and I will have a talk." 1 meohauioally pointod to a small room opening out of the library. Mio hurried in. I felt liko a statue carved from adamant. Deeper water. Presently she returned, divested of little hat, pongoe and kids. . She cast a soarohing glance around the library. "Horrid dirly I" she said disdainfully "When has it been cleaned?" "About a year ago," I said, mookly. She gave a pretty little scream '-A year I Shocking I Oh, I couldn't sit down In a room that hasn t besn cleaned for a year I This must be put to ngntsT She said this in a very determined tone, and then set to work. She uon verted my linen ooat into an apron, tied a cunning little handkerchief over her pretty head, aud snatching up the fly duster, dusted away valiantly, rjising a oloud of dust, in whieh I sat gazing ut the vision. What did all this mean? I consulted Molie-o, my standard author' ity, but Moliere could give no exoluua tion. Could she bo in angel, sent to oast a ray of light over my dismal path oflifo? Perhaps! But did angols wear white Marseilles, and talk about satin teens and jonniers I Impossible I It must be a dream. She suddenly paused came to mo, through the oleud, held out her arms, and said : "Boll up my sleeves, please. I can work better with them up." I did roll tho white sleeves up, and then immediately aoouted the idea of its being a dream. Couldn't dream of such arms, with a beautiful dimple iu each elbow t And then she dusted, and when she dusted Bhe sang. What a voice I It was sweeter than a nightingale's or the musio of a running brook I And then she drew up chair and sat down beside me, having first removed the handkerchief and improvised apron. Then fho shook out her curia and ad dressed me. "My dear unsle, let us have a talk." Her unolel If my heart bad sud denly changed to lump of lead, it could not have sunk any quioker than it did I "You know," she continued, "that you wrote me a letter saving that you consid ered it better for me to stay at the farm until you wrote again. But then, I didu't want to stay ; I felt so lonely away out tbsrc, hardly seeing a now faoe once month for the twelve years I have been there, for you know, you left me there whea I was six years old. Well, ! I thought I would ootne up to tbo city, so I took tfce fifty dollars and bought sBia suit. Mrs. Marsh picked it out fo tue. And to i fiame; aud yoi art not aog'J with mo, are you 7 Beoaui i f you are, I'll go right back agaoj, itnele it deed I will." My feeling's during tttit brief fefe Had beea very fiaiofel.

"My dear child," said I, humbly, will you have the kindness to inform mo what your name is ?" She opened hereyos, ana men laughed, "Why," she said, "you huve not for gotten mc? Littlo Hess, you know." "liittlo Hem ( I repeated. "Bessie Ludlow," she said gravely, "your nieoo." "No," said 1 sadly; not my nicco, I have no niece I Thero has been some error. My name is Floyd," " t hen, she satd, "you at e my undo Mr. llinburd Floyd. I saw tho name on tho door, and I cume in. Now you to romembor me, ilon'tynu?" and she put her arms atound my neck and looked pleadingly up into my eyes. I felt it would bo almost murder to undeceive the pretty thing ; but I must do my duty, and so I said, with desperate calmness. "1 am sorry to disappoiut you, Misa Ludlow, but I am not your uncle. You saw the nutne of It. Floyd on tho dour ; my name is ltobert. "Then," said sho, lieljjlossly, "where ii my uncle ?" I felt bound to confess my ignorance, whereat sho looked incredulous. I ex plained that, strauge as it might seem, I did not know everybody who happened to rwjoicc in the same surname as myself. "But." said I cheerfully, Fatting her looking blank, "we can find out. Ileia is a directory. Now, your uncle's name is Richard Floyd?" "Yes." "His occupation or profession?" "Eh 7" "What does ho do for a living?" "Nothing ; bo's rich awfnl riih I" "Ah 1 a gentleman? Behold two Itichard Floyd's, both gentlemen. Let us hope they are. Now get ready, we'll go and find your uncle." Sho slood by my side in the street, and looked ton times more bewitching than ever. We walked along the stroets, and how my male frieuds atared, und won dered, and envied me 1 Wo found the first Mr. Floyd just steppiog into his cariage, in front uf his house. He was big, pompous und vulgar. I tapped him on tho shoulder "Your niece, Mr. Floyd," I said, and began to explain, wheu he cut me short. "Nothiug of the kind not my niece an adventuress, no doubt. You're swindler, I suppose. Drive on." 1 inwardly vowed to assassinato that mnn some dark night. My companion grasped her pongee fiercely. "Oh, tho mean old thing I" sho said savagely. "Hut, however," sho said, laughing, "that's not my uncle. He's u very quiet man. I saw him about eleven years ugo. He only oame to see mo once I suppose becauso I'm n poor relation." "Iloro she laughed us if being a poor relation was something tunny which it isn't. Then we tried the other Mr. Floyd ; no was the uncle. Wo round him read inga book of sermons. Ho was a gentleman, and received his mischievous niece like any gentlemsu would. I started to go, but Bossie ran after me and told me I must oomo und see her I promised and went, frcnuoutly. We Bessio and I are living with the kind-hearted old unolo now. And it all came of a mistake. Tho Montgomery Correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial has the tnllow ing : Dick Busteed is holding his annual court here, trying whisky makers aud Ku klux, moro whisky than Ku klux, however. It is rumored that he ia for Uraut. Tho Judgo has no very fair name down here, being classed with the ominbus load of carpet-baggers, headed by the cotton ped iter Spencer, who aro preying upon the vitals of a stricken and prostrate state, so to speak. The judgo tells a good story on him self, and it pretty well illustrates ihe feeling here among a largo class. Ad alarm of fire was civen at the Ezchatiira hotel, and the guests went out pell mell, carrying their bagg'ago. One follow got out one trunk and wanted to leave ii in somebody's care till he went for another. Busteed was sitting on the curbstone guarding his own carpet bag. "Mister." said tbo roan with two trunks, approach ing Busteed, "will you watch this until I go back aud get another?" "Do you know who 1 am?" roared the judge. "No; who are you?" "I am Judge Busteod, of the Federal couit." "Oh, Lord I" exclaimed tho fellow, - as he tugged off bis property, "I might just as well let it burn up at leave it with you I" A fair haired, love-siok youth out West presented bis girl with a pair of those new fangled fasten-above the knee garters, ou ber birthday. He thought they were tho latest thing on bracelets, and only discovered his mistake upon requesting her to let him "try them on," He does uot go there any more.

"I don't caro about the bugs," said Wormly, to tho head of a genteel board ing house, but tho fact is, madam, I haven't the blood to spare ; you see that yourself." "When I got you in St. Louis, I'll kill you," said a Texas desperado to a cattle drover at Abilene. "Why not kill me hero?'' "Because they will hang me here, but in St Louis they will think I was insane, and let me go." A man named Hog who had been fouud guilty of murder, laid claim to somo- relationship with the judge, who was about to sentence him, whose name was Bacon. "1 think you are mistaken," blandly responded the judge. "Hog must bo bung before it can bo good bacon." In regard to the cultivation of cigars Orceloy is said to advieo growers to be careful in planting thorn with the small end in tho ground ; they should be set in row, to be no less than two ieet from each other ; care should be taken to keep them well watered, for if allowed to bo como dry as they grow, they peel, and won't smoke worth a cent. By keeping them well watered, in three month's time they will be ready for gathering in bunches of twenty five or fifty. They may then bo packed into boxes and sent to market, alter they huve been properly stamped on. G entle Overtures Toward Friend ship.
