My father's rime is Joe;, my mother rejoices in the old-fashioned cognomen of Hannah. Last summer a friend of mine, enthusiastic. and just out of college, went to Laneville to rusticate, and visit a bachelor uncle. He came home in raptures with Laneville, but more particularly- iu raptures with one Bessie Blake, a resident of that f-rtunate town. My mother, being of an inquiring disposition, questioned young Gurley in regard to this particular Bessie, and learned that she was the daughter of Moses Blake, and Moses, Blake's wife was a third cousin to my mother's uncle s will's brotherin-law. So we were quite closely related. My mother had once known Mrs. Blake, and Moses was a man of wealth. Bessie was his daughter. Here was an opening! My mother ought to have been a president, or a prime minister, she was sucn a snarp ou? at piam.iug, and before m'.ty days she had decided that I was out of health, arid needed country a:r. She wrote an affectionate letter to Mrs. Elake, stating the afflicting circumstances, dwelling or. her an;:iety for her only son, and asking that early friend if she would not receive the invalid into her family for a few weeks. In due time a letter arrived, sayinc that I -.hould be welcome to the domicile of the Blakes. "Deary me!" said my mother, adisting her spectacles to get a more accurate v.ew, "it seems to me that Betsey Ann Blake han neglected her spelling dreadfully. Why, scarcely a single wor- is correctly spelled, and Eetsey Ann used to be a good scholar!" It was decided on the spot that I should go to Lanesville and recuperate. My wardrobe was soon put in order, and I set forth for the home of Bessie Blake. "Be very carefui, Philip," said my mother, at parting, "and keep on the right side of old Mr. Blake. He's an odd stick, if I remember, and can't bear to be crossed. And, recollect, my son. that he is worth fifty thousand, and Bessie is ail he's got." Perhaps you were never in Laneville? If --ot. than, of course, you do not know th t r.ll the houses are as much alike as the pers in a bushel bag full of peas, and the m.in who could tell one house from another would be a genius. The village is surrounded by brickyards, and the Lanevillites believe In encouraging home industry, so Ml the houses are brick. There is a patent roofing factory in the place; and so, for the same reason cited above, all the house-} are patent roofed. Green paper window shades are'manufactured here, and of course all the shades are green paper. It was nearly dark when I arrived at Lanevill\ and it rained. 11 always does *vhen anybody goes anywhere. I inquired for Mr. Blake's, anl a small boy agreed to pilot me thither for ten cents. How the little wretch managed to single out this house from all the other houses just like it I do not know; but seeing the name Blake i- large letters on the door-piate, I gave him his hardearned pittance and rang the bell. They were delighted to see me, had been expecting me for a month, old Blake said, and remembering thct he did not like to be crossed I refrained from contradicting him, though I knew well enough that my mother 4 had written them only a fortnight before. I was shown into the parlor and the presence of Bessie. "This is my daughter " said old Eiake, indifferently enough, as if such angels as Bessie Blake were too common w.th him to merit much notice. And I felt chat if my pantaloons were not new, and I was sure the carpet had been swept that lay, it would be happiness to kneel down at her feet?and?well, I didn't exactly know what. Mrs. Blake was a fat old lady, and she was knitting a gray stocking. Sweet domestic employment! I shook hands all round, and sat down on the sofa beside Bessie. The first chance I got, I squeezed her hand, and received an enchanting smile by way of encouragement. Mr. Blake got out his spectacles, wiped them, and put them straddle of his nose. Then h^ straightened back in his '.hair and took a good look at me. "Hum!" raid he. "Tollerble tali and well built! Six feet, ain't ye?" I assented, knowing that he did not like to be crossed, but I am only five feet six. "I used to be six feet two myself," said he; "that was when i was young. A hefty man, too. Takes after his father ? eh, Martha?" nodding to his wife. "Ail that tribe was tall. Got a nose like his grandfather's? no. let me see; it's more like his grandmother's. There's a great deal in noses?eh, Martha?" "Yes." said Martha, absently, counting her stitches, "especially when a body has a cold." I noticed that the old gentleman made a mistake in calling his wife Martha, when her name was Betsey Ann hut I didn't crnss him. I kent stil!, ami made myself more devoted to Eessi*?. '"Yes, yes," pursued he; "nosewide J at the roots, and sot up?good sign. J Hain't you had the smallpox lately?" "No," said I, indignantly. "Oh, you hain't? I seed the sides of yer face and yer upper lip was kinder broke out and dingy." Broke out, indeod! and my mus- . tairhs as respectable a size as any one could expect from tliree months' nursing. And only yesterday Araminta Jones had said it was divine, and just as "scratchy" as need be. I was angry, but a glance at the sweet face of Bessie made me restrain my temper. What could I not bear for her sake? "I used to know pretty near all your folks," said old Blake, "and there's a heap of 'em I should like to as'.: about if I could only get my wits to work. Thero was your Uncle Joshua?you don't remember him, I guess; he died afore your time?" ' I never had au Uncle Joshua," said I. ' Don't contradict me, my boy," said he. testily;- "I guess I know. "Tain't likely they ever told you anything about him. He was put in _ the state prison for stealing sheep? or was it a pig?" "Now, father," naid the old lady, ? "don't you go for to harrering up the boy's feelings. He can't help what his uncle did." er "I hain't a harrering." said old Blake, crossly. "You mind your own ^ bizness, Martha." OS And while the old people were dis- ^ puting as to the real meaning of the ^ word "harrerin," I improved the chance which offered, and kissed Bes- ^ sie. Eefore this fact was accomplished, j a tall, red-whiskered man strode into es the room, and, for an instant, stood gt glaring at me like a wild beast. Then he dashed toward me, seized me by p] the collar and planted his foot at that part of my body most convenient ^ to kick, and landed me at the other side of the room. "Take that, you scoundrel!" he re- ? marked, impressively; but I could h not oblige him. I had already taken ? it. I I rose to my feei and prepared to U strike out. | "What do you mean, sir?" de- i E manded I, before striking. j "What do you mean, sir?" demanded he. ' What do you mean by lfiseinc m v wifo''" , "Your wife! Jupiter Jorum!" cried I. "Bassie Blake your wife?" "Bessie Blake?" said he. "Who in thunder is Bessie Blake?" "Don't be profane, my son," said old Mrs. Blake. "Scripter is agin it." "Are you not Bessie Blake?" said I, turning to the Venus. "Xo," said she; "my name is Annie . Hall." "Well," said I. "this is a pretty kettle of fish. Who are you, sir?" to tfye red-whiskered man. ^ "I am Robert Hall, at your service ?Mr. Blake's step-son." "Isn't this Mr. Moses Blake's ^ house?" "No; my name is Jeremiah," said . old Blake. "And I was going to Moses Blake's," said I. "Why in the deuce didn't you go ^ there, then?" cried Mr. Hall. "Don't swear, Robert," expostu- . lated Mrs. Blake. "How was I to tell one house from another in this abominable village?" cried I, indignantly, "where every . house is just like every other one." "My house cost twice as much as Moses Blake's," said Mr. Blake. "Ain't your name Jeremiah?" asked Mrs. Elake. ?a 16 "Mercy forbid!" said I. "Then," said she, "I guess thing3 s is kinder mixed up. We are expect- ^ ing our nephew, Jeremiah Muggins, for to pay us a visit. He writ some co time ago to say he'd come. We hain't seen him sence he was a child, and naterly we took you for him. And ... the fact of it is you've got into the wrong house." f I saw how :t was, apologized, ob- e tained definite directions as to the locality of Mr. Moses Blake's hcuse, and departed. The less I say of my visit there the better. Bessie weighed a couple of hundred, to say the least, and was red and healthy as a washerwoman. A fine girl, no doubt, but not to my taste.

'Tr/as whispered in heaven, 'twas muttered in hell, And echo caught faintly the sound ai it fell. On the confines oC earth 'tvras permitted to rest, And the depths of the ocean its pres er.ce confessed. 'Twill be found in the sphere wiier 'tis riven asunder, Be seen in the lightning and heard in the thunder; 'Twas allotted to man with his earliest breath, Attends at his birth and awaits hiin in death; Presides o'er his happiness, honoi and health, Is the prop of his house and the end of his wealth. In the heaps of the miser *ti3 hoarded with care, But is sure to be lost on his prodiga; heir. It begins with hope, every wish il must bound, With the husbandman toils, with the monarch is crowned. Without it the soldier and seamar may roam, But woe to the wretch who expels il from home! In the whispers of conscience its voic? will be found, Nor e'en in the whirlpool of passion be drowned.

Paterson's fugitive ex-Mayor, who left this city a year ago after embezi aling $50,000 of the funds of the Manchester Building and Loan Association and raising as much again by other questionable means, walked ^ into the county jaii and announced that he wished to surrender himself. Belcher has been traveling about I the country for a year in an endeavor to elude justice. He knew that det tectives were his trail and decided to give himself Several weeks > ago he wrote to Prosecutor Emley that he intended to return and take his punishment. Belcher had been 1 in New York for nearly a week, and stayed there until he knew that he t was about to be placed under arrest. Belcher said: "I had exactly $300 5 when I left Paterson. I had been considering the step for several weeks, and it was simply desperation 1 drove me to it. The whole city trusted me, and I had not the cour^ age to stand up and make a confes I sion that would condemn me in tne r eyes of every one. All my. life I had tried to do right, but one thing and ; another went wrong until I was ia a hopeless financial tangle. "I know now what it is to be alone 1 in the world. I have experienced awful agonies in the last year. All was on myself. I was absolutely out of the - world to my family and friends. My wife even did not know where I was. On the day I fled I \ caught a late train out of Paterson, and in twenty-six hours was in Chicago. I had intended to go to a foreign country, bue I felt I had not enough money. I went openly about Chicago, though the papers cohtained long accounts of my disappearance, L and printed accurate details of my appearance. But I shaved off my . mustache, and no one seemed to recE ognize me. "After a week I went to St. Paul, and a few hours after arriving there I lost my pocketbook. I was absolutely penniless, and I was afraid to report my loss to the police. So the following morning I went to a railroad office and asked for work. My pay was $1.25 a day, and I lived in ^ the humblest of circumstances and ate the coarsest of food. Then I was > made foreman, with $2.50 a day, and things looked brighter. "At Christmas my health gave way. I was not able to stand the strain o2 working ten hours a day in the frost and snow. I had saved $150, and with that I went to Lon- j don, Ontario. I was a street laborer I ihere, and when I was laid off with a j lot of men I took to selling newspapers. I made less than $1 a day at that. For three months I worked at various mean jobs, and in June the thought began to grow on me that it would be better to return and face the situation. It, took me several weeks, however, to make up my ; mind, and even when I reached New York I still hesitated. But last night I overcame all my misgivings, and then, lest I might be stricken with fear again, I crossed the North River at once and took a train." , LOCUST PLAGUE IN HUNGARY.
