ADAM F LU) G E'S GOLD. -0 Mr. ?i?ani Flidgei, of ^fnddyhroek, U. S./returrredMrom California, after an absence of two year?, bringing home with him seven thousand dol lars in gold. This snug sum was considered a iori tine in Muddybrook; and Muddybrook accordingly extend ed its ariosto receive the amiable Adam ; although-I am eorry to say , -the Flidge family being poor, the young adventurer had never been ap preciated by his towns people, until the news that he had made his for tune in California, opeucd their eyes to his extraordinary merits. All black, and bearded, and un couth in his manners, as Adam was, he was caressed by the first people of Muddybrook-people gay and proud, who had formerly noticed Adam no more than if he had been a dog. But Adam, fresh from the society of barbarians, and although unaccustomed to the smiles of the tender sex, W;:S flattered, bewildered, and. dazzled by the bright ey.es which beamed fondly on him now. Wo man's smiles to him were welcome as the breath of Spring to the bleak hills and tempest rended trees. With a heart hungry for love, it is no won der that he betrayed the most amia ble of human weaknesses, no wonder that even beautiful Matilda Moore lcd him a willing captive ; the cold and coquettish Matilda, to whom Adam had offered himself in the day of his poverty, and been flatly, con temptu ously rejected. Seen through gold bound glasses, however, Adam appeared no more the worthless wretch Mafiida for merly considered bim. As the young est of five unmarried daughters, in whose maiden footsteps she was fol lowing fasti the proud Matilda wis.??' pretty well tja lilied to judge ol Adam's newly discovered merits. Sh? judged indeed ; and when the stupid fellow, believing every women true, once more offered her nia hand, sn? graciously accepted it. Adara al most believed himself to bo the most fortunate fellow in the.world. But while Adam was so happy, somebody was very miserable. '?V every laugh of his som? body echoed a sigh. While the balance of his happiness was full, that of another kicked the beam. That other was his foster sister-the fair Kose, who had loved him ever, from his youth upward with an unaltered affection. . She was a gentle,>? winning* creature; . and it is one of the wonders of Cu {>id that Adam had never fallen in ove with her. She was fairer than. Matilda Moore,' and .t must have been a silly pride which caused Adam to prefer the position of the latter to the character o? Rose. Adam, in effect, did not appreciate Rose. He did not understand her. Could he have known Low. well she loved him, th? startling truth might have brought, him to his senses. jjiiv, . he was ono of Cupid's bats : he could not see the light. Often, after hhs ?return, he discovered tears in the soft eyes of Rose.' ? " My dear sister," he would say, "what is.the matter?" kissing her fondly', and playfully blowing the tears off from her long lushes. " What h thc matter ?" . Foolnot to see 1 iool not to discov er, ia per evasive* answeis, the grief which was blahing h&r lierfrti Blind, indeed !-he appeared to see nothing but the .-charms of Matilda, and the glitter of his gold, which he kept locked np in a stout oaken chest, previously to investing it in a farm ?or*'.self and wife." No^w Adam had many ?old friend.? who warned him against Matilda, and whose wise ?ouasel was despised. His father and elder brother bagged him to make a diff?rent choice, en deavoring lo convince- him that it ^vas only hi*3 money that Matilda loved. ? " Do you think Tm.a baby ?" cried Adam, once in Rose's presence. Can't I n?ad a woman's heart ? if Matilda didn't love mo, "do you slip pose I would ho fool enough not to see it? She'd have me for a li'ns biHkl if I hadn't a penny in the world." . ' She wouldn't look at you," ex claimed his fttlier. Upon whir.1!, both left the house in different 'directrons, ftose, tem* "bl?ng anxl weeping, remained alone.

"All this timi affianced, the luise Matilda, n visited him. But Rose, the faitl d^voied Hewe, was>always by his to soothe and console him, and ?ure happier times.

It is be.-t for us never to u again. Good bye." ' Adam staggered home. He th himself- groaning upon a seat.

I hav finally cum to the conclusion that lag- r beer as a beverage is not intoxicating. o I have b,een told, so by a German^ who saidli?had drunk ii all-nite long-/ just to try the experiment, and was obliged to go home entirely sober in the morning. I have seen this panie man drink eighteen glasses, and if he was drunk he was drunk in German and nobody could understand it. It is proper enufi* to .state that this win kept a lager beer saloon, and could have no object in stating what was not strictly thus". * ? ' .* ( * I believe him to the full extent of my.abiHty-.'^i never r?rank ?but-three glasses of lager in my life, and that made my heel ontwist as tho it w.-is hung on the end of a string, but I wai told that it was owing to my bile bein out of place; and I guess that it was so, for I ngyer tiled .-over yus than I did when I got humLthafc" nite. My wife thot I was going to die, and X was afraid that I should, for it seem ed as tho everything J had ever eaten in my life was cummin to the surface; and I believe that if my wife hadn't pulled off my boots juntas she did, they would qave.cunkthiinde?ing top. ?h,- 'how sk-k i ww !|14 years ago j and.I can laste ..it now. i ?j j .

If any dian simd tell me that lager beer was not intoxicating, I simd be lieve him; but if he shud teli me that I wuzn't drunk that nite, "but that my stumickwas out of ordev, I shud ask him to state over a few " wordsVf j ret- how a man felt and acted when he was set up. If I warn't drunk that nite, I had sum ov tho.most yat ural ?raturasthat a man ever had and kept sober. 1 In the first place it was about 80 rods from where I drank the lager beer to mi house, and I wuz jest over two hours ou ?lit? r-oad,. and had a,hole busted thjrpn^MMeirwe of*myWn taloon nee2, and didn't hav any hat, and*tried to open/the doer-by -Hte bell-tinit.Ttftd Jjpecnpptji awfully aff?d saw eveVything'rn rifer room rrying-tfe get round on the back side ov me, andjiitsifTing'jdowjlSon a: chauvi dijl not wait long enough for it to get ex actly under me -when - it wuz going round, and I set down a little-too soon and missed the chair about-12 inches, and couldn't get up 80011 enough to take the next one that come along ; and that ain't awi; midwife i?edft wuz drunk as a beast, and, as I sed before, I began to spin np things freely.
