With m'y accustomed carelessness, Ind left his precise address at home my note book, but 1 thought little of i ] could easily find him, I thought to ir self, as the cars set me down amid t smoke and hustle of 13 I enquired for my relative of the fn haekman I came across.

"What was the fellow laiijdii nt J To be sure my clothes wore not the very latest cut, and it is not just t thing for any one out of thearmy to we bine with bright buttons ; but my cc was whole, and my auut Betsy had scot ed the buttons with whiting and soap i til they shone like gold. 1 repeated n question with dignity. " Can you direct me to the residen of Mr. John Smith?" " Mr. Smith V he said slowly. " Yes, sir-Mr. John Smith. He mi ried ray tai ber's great uncle's eldest dang ter Melinda." - 1 don't think I know a Johu Smi with a wife Melinda." John Smith seemed to bc a commt noun with him, from the peculiar tone I u.*eJ in speaking ofthat individual. " Ah !" I remarked, " then there more than one ofthat name in this city' "I rather think there is."' " Very well, then, direct me to ti nearest." " The nearest is in West street, secor hand left comer-you-'il see the name c the door," I passed on, congratulating myself c the cordial welcome I should receive froi John and Melinda. I soon reached the place-a handson house with the name on a silver doc plate-rang the bell-a servant nppearei " Mr. Smith in ?" " No, sir, Mr. Smith is in ihr- army. "Mrs. Smith-is she?" *l In tte army lr-oh, no-she's on ? beach." u This h Sir. Jr.hn Smith's hotner. ?tl " It is." " Wa? his wife's name Melinda, an was she a Byrne before she Was marriec from Snuashvilie!" The man reddened and responded ai grily-: " I'll not stand here tota insulted. I !Make off with yourself, or i'll call th police. I thought from the first that yo was an entry thief, but you don't play n game on me !" and he b'angod the doti in my face. . I a thief! Iflhadnot been in such hurry to find the Smiths, I should hav giver, that rascally fellotf ? sound cha: tising on the spot. Inquiry elicited the fact that Joh Smith fired in Arch street. Thither bent my steps. A maid servant answei ed my ring. " Mr. Smith in ?" . Before thc could reply, a big red-facei man jumped out ot thc shadows behini . the door., ,-ar.d laid his heavy hand on nr shoulder. "Yes, sir," he cried in a voice of thor der. " Mr. Smith is iu. He stayed a home all day on purpose to catch you and now by Jupiter, 1**11 have my re venge." M Sir," says I, " there must bc soim mistake. Allow me to inquire if you an Mr. John Smith ?" " I'll inform you about Mr, Jchn Smitl in a waj- that you won't relish, if yoi don't settle the damage forthwith. Fin thousand dollars is the very lowest, figur -snd you must leave the country ?" I cried: "What do you take me for You'd better be careful or you'll get you head caved in !" " I'll cave your head in for you, yoi young villian you !" cried he, springinj at me with his cane. " Oh, John, dear John !" exclaimed i shrill female voice, and a tall figure ii a sea of flounces bounded down the stair way. " Don't, for the love of heaven-don'i murder him !" . ** Who the deuce do you take me for ?' cried I, ;$y temper rising. . " It looks w$[ for you to ask that ques tion !" sneered the man, "you who hav? won my wife's heart, and are now here to plan to elope with her ! I've found il all out-you needn't blush, and-" I beg your pardon for interrupting you,** said ?, " hut I have never seen'your wife before.

"I am not Jones-I have not that hon or, sir. My name is Parkwell. Henry Park well, of Suuashville," and with a bow j took myself pfT. . After that -I called at the residences of Ihree John Smiths-none of them were my Mr. Smith, -arid nothing occurred worthy of note. My next Mr. Smith resided in Port land street.. Thither I bent my'steps, it was a very small house-evidently not thc house of wealth and cleanliness. I made my woy up'to the .frpntdoor amid a wilderwess of o?d rog*, broken crockery, old tin ware, etc., scattering-*a .flock riof hens, and rousing a snappish little terrier from hjs nap on Ibe step,^ , A red faced "?roma?.', answered my rap, ! but before 1 couldi m?ke my ciMoiri?ry j inquiry, she opened.on^me.Jiko.atwo-pd^o u burcher-knife. ?W. mah h " Well, of all tb?:1rripnd??t ras&fs'ffifM ? ere?

The broomstick; was lifted, i I heard it . ut the air like a minie bullet, and sprang ! down thc stfps into the streut at my best pace. Au angry man I do not fear, but who eau stand before an angry woman ? ? had rather lace u roaring lion. I called on two more Mr. Smiths-still unsuccessful in my search, lt was get Brig near darle, and I was n ore than anx ious to reach my destination. My next Mr. Smith was located in Leonard street. It was twilight when I mhg the :bel.l at hii door. ? smiling f?liow admitted mc, "fairly [orCed nie into Tm* ti**, before I could utter word. II Win Ik right in sir; they arejsxnceting you.

The gas was not lighted, and llie apart ment was in scmi darkne?-s. 1 heard a soft quick footfall on the carpet, and a pair of arms fell round my neck, and a pair of the sweetest lips on the footstool touched mine and good gracious! fora moment the world swam, and I felt as if I had been stewed in honey, and distilled ! in Lubin's best triple extract of roses. M Uh, Henry-my. dearest and best. Why don't yon kiss nie, Henry ?" cried A voice like music. li Have vou ceased to care for me ?" and again the kiss was repeated. Who could resist the temptation.? I am naturally a dffident man, but I have some human nature in n e, and I paid her principal and interest. " Oh, Henry, I had so feared that be ing in the. army had made you cold-heart ed-good : heavens !" She fell against a rliuir us pule as death. Tae servant had lit the gas, and I stood revealed. "I beg -your pardon, marm," said I. .; there must be some mistake. May t inquire if Mr. Smithes wife was Melinda Byrne, the eldest daughter of my father's great-uncle ?" The red flush came to the. young lady's cheek-she was as handso ne as as a pic ture and she replied with a courtesy : .: She was not You wi 1,1 hope, ex cuse the blunder I have committed. We are expecting my brother Henry from the army, and your blue clothes deceived me." "For which I shall always wear blue," I replied gallantly. Ally me to introduce myself-lam Henry Purkwell ofSqash vi?le," and in making my best bow, I stumbled over an ottoman, and fell smash into a china closet, demolishing atJeast a j dozen plates and n*: many jrlass tumblers. 1 sprang to my t'cot sei?nl my bag, and withcott, a word dashed from'thc house.. i knocked over h rr..in that was passing ar the moment, and landed myself in the nutter. The man picked himself up and was about to make a display of muscle, when the glare of the street ia p reveal ed to me the well-known face of John Smith. " Eureka !" cried I. Allow ms to in quire if your wife was Malinda, the el dest daughter of my father's great uncle Byrne ?" "She was," said he, grasping my hand .and I am delighted to see you! But confound it, you needn't come at a fellow so." But ? must cut my story short. Ile took me home with him, and I had a good vis;t ; ? saw Melinda to my heart's content. Nay, more-I met and was properly introduced to Hattie Smith, and -well, I am having a new suit of clothes made, and in due course the}- will be mar ried, myself in them, to the young lady just alluded to. FAREWELL Eyrs!-While Ur. Carpen ter, now at the Bangor House, in this city, was tarrying at Waterville, he was called upon by a tough customer of sixty, whose eyes showed plainly that brandy and water wero no strangers to him, and whose breath corroborated plainly the statement of hie pyes, The Doctor examined him, and suggested that ardent spirits might have something to do with his condition. " Oh, no," said tho old fellow, " I don't drink onongh to-hurt anybody.' I take something stimulative when I get up, and then again just before breakfast, then on ly at eleven o'clock, and a little dose, be fore, and after; dinner to help digestion ; don't take anything more \ill four o'clock, and only a little before and after supper, and just before I go to bed." " That all ?" said the Doctor. "Never take any more unless some body invites me," said thc man. " Well, sir," said the Doctor, " I think I can cure your eyes; bu: it will be nee*' essary for you to leave eff drinking en tirely." " What !" said he, inam.izement, n can't I take just p. little ?" " No, sir, not a drop ; ind if you don't leave oft'you are lieble to become blind." "Then farewell eyes !" said the old to per, as he seized his hat and made for the door, evidently afraid the Doctor, would prescribe for him before he could get out.
