PTHR TWENTY YEIRS %-0 She was a pretty girl, was Je ima-petite-that's what I lik4 -bright eyef, luxuriant locks white and pink complexion ump and compact. She was al as in good humor, and we soot came the very best of fiiends 6y, more-for who could help be g affectionate toward her verybody loved her. When thi at-man called her 'a sweet littI4 aft,,' they expressed, though vul Lrly, the sentiment of my ow! art. I was in love with Jemima id Jemima-well, Jemima wal >t indifferent to me. I had no' rve to ask her, in so man3 rds, would she accept my han( d name ? I spoilt a quire o per in an effort to utter m3 oughts in a letter; so at last, ot or birthday, the fifteenth of May entured to present her with at agantly bound book, and on I ,tle slip of paper inside I wrote DBAR JEMIMA.-By the accep nee of this trifling gift let mi iow you accept the giver. ALFRED BARNSTABLE DAUGHTY I flattered myself it was rathei plucky thibg to do, and it an vered admirably. Next time I saw her she was a] a glow, and when we weri one together, and I was.stand g rather near her, and said: 'You received 'my humble offer g!' she burst into a flood o ars, put her arms aroud m ,ck and spoilt my shirt front. Then, a hen she recovered a lit a (do you believe in N iobe?i m't,) she said : 'Have you asked pa ?' Of course I responded I ha' 'Thben do at once,' she said ; 'fo >dness gracious me, if he wa find ns out in anything sly, an< ying to keep it from him, ould be awful!' It is a good deal worse askin, Le governor than asking the gir specially such a peppery old pai ras Captain Wattleborough awever, I screwed myself up id when Jemima was dow' yout the place playing on he -gan, and I knew he would b aking his evening toilet by pu ng on a pilot coat. I venture look in upon him. After a fei ords on ordinary topics such a aw were we both, how was th eather, I hemmed and began aptain I am ambitious.' 'Right, boy-climb as high a au can.' 'Can't encourage me too mueb aptain ; I'm ambitious in you irection.' 'J3oy, you are not going t 'No, Captain-I-I-I-I aspir ite honor of being your son-it The Captain looked me full i ie face, then said: 'Have you money ?' Of course I hadn't, and he tol< 0 to go and get it before ventui ig to aspire to the band of Jemi 'But, my dear Captain'-I ver ired to expostulate. 'Get off my door-step!l' 'Let me speak for a moment I nmima 'Get off my door;step !'. He accompanied this last ii ~ruction by a thrust which sen e staggering into the street. My afair with Jemiima was an end. The Captain would not , listen to me. All the letters I wrote to Jemima were sent back to me. I grew weary, packed up il and packed off, with a letter of a introduction to a firm in China. v Well, the fortune was not so easy h to make, but at the expiration of twenty years I began to think it sufficiently large to wa"ant my return to 'the girl I left behind me.' I heard . very little from home. Father and mother- were F still alive, but the Captain was dead. They- had carried -him through the cornfields -one sum- t mer's day to the little church-yard t and buried him there. r Jemima. I understood, lived in the old house, and was single. So P -full of emotion, all the tender- e ness for the dear girl I had left behind me rapidly reviving-off I went, carpet-bag and everything, c Ijust as I was, to have the oldl 9 vows renewed and sealed in the r usual manner. AMaiden with -freckled face, t muctins burned, 60w'wd the door. Could I see Miss Vattleboreugh ? Tle maiden dik-o- repty, lint, leaving we where I was; retired to the remote back - settlements. C Thence I heard the following dia logue: 'Missus ' f 'Well, what is it ' t Somebody wants you.' 'Who is it?' 'A fat old man, with a bag.' I could;have shaken the girl in to jelly. t There was further talk in a smothered whisper, and then the E girl returned, and motioning me with her finger, said: 'Come in here,' and showed me into the parlor. The old parlor, just as I had left it, neat and trim, the old harpsi chord, the old punch bow I ; but some new things-a canary in a cage at the window, a black long- e legged cat ensconced upon a chair. a The next minute a lady en tered. Could it be? No, impossi- t ble-this pale-faced, sober-visaged lady, with stiff black curls, and no t more figure than a clockcase could this be my Jemima ? Where was the old luster of the eyes-where the old bloom upon the cheeks-where the lips that t were ruddier than the cherry? She lifted up both hands when she saw me. 'Alfred!l' 'Jemima!' 'We shook hands; after a mo -men t's hesitation we went further1 -more in accordance with old times. My heart sank within me, how 8ever, as I sat down opposite to Sher, and thought of what she was. She looked at me very steadily, and I thought I detectod disap pointment in her glance. 'We are both changed, Jemima. 'You are very much altered,' she said. 'You are different,' I responded. 'Do you think so ?' 'Think so ? Why, Jemima, there rcan't be two opinions about it.' 'It is not generally observed; but you-' 'Well my dear ?' 'You have grown ridiculously stout, and you are bald-headed.' e'You are not stout, my dear ; but your hair is not quite what it was.' 'People say they see no change in me-that I preserve my child ish appearance wonderfully.' 'Humph!' Our interview was not alto. gether agreeable. When we part ed we contented ourselves with eshak'ng hands. That afternoon I wrote to her, suggesting that we did not renew our old engagement. That afternoon she wrote a note, dsuggesting the very same idea to me. Our cross letters crossed. We were to be friends, nothing more. But that could not last. I was the first to give in. I called upon her and said a good deal, and she Scried, and then we said why not ? and :then she put her head upon my breast and spoiled my shirt front as she had done before. 'You are not so very fat,' she said laughing. 'You are not so very- lean,' I t aid lnahing also. ,You can wear a scalp,' said sbe. t 'You can dye' I responded. ( So we both laughed again, and h was all sbttled. We were settled, I nd here are out of the fog, and s ery much at your service-the i a ppiest couple in our' town.

Cut your ioat according to your cloth is iound advice; but cutting other >eople's cloth by running into lebt is as like thieving as four our-pence is like a goat. If I meant to be a rogue I would deal in marine stores, or be i pettifogging lawyer, or a priest, >r open a loan-office, or go ont icking pockets; but I would corn the dirty art of getting nto debt without a prospect of eing able to pay. You have debt., and make debts still, Iftyou've not lied, lie you will. Debtors can hardly help being iars, for tbey promise to pay when they know they cannot, nd when they have made up a lot of false excuses they promise igain, and so they lie as fast as a borse can trot. Now, if owing leads to lying, who shall say that it is-not a most evil thing. Of course, there are exceptions, and I do not want to bear hard upon an honest man who is brought down by sickness or losses; but take the rule as a rule, and you will find debt to be i grea.t dismal swamp, a hage mud-bole, a 'dirty ditch ; happy 'is the man who gets out of it after nce tumbling i~n, but the happiest f all is he whzo has been by God's goodness kept out of the mire al togther. 1f you once ask the devil o dinner it will be hard to get him a& of the house again ; better to ave nothing to do with him. There a hen has laid one egg, he is very likely to lay another ; vhen i man is once in debt, he is kely to get into it again ; better :eep clear of it from the first. le who gets in for a penny will Don -be in for a pound, and when man is over shoes, be is very able to. be over boots. Never we a farthing, and you will never we a guinea. My motto is, pay as you go, and :eep from small scores. Short eckonings are soon cleared. 'Pay rhat you owe, and what you're vorth you'll know.' Let the lock tick, but no 'tick' for me. ketter go to bed without your upper than get up in debt. Sins ,nd debt are always more than re think them to be. Little by little a man gets over iis head and ears. It is the >etty expenses that empty the >urse. Money is round, and rolls way easily. Tom Thriftless buys vhat he does not want because it s a great bargain, and so is soon >rought to sell what he does vant, and finds it a very little >argain. He cannot say 'No' to is friend who wante hie" be ecurity ; he gives grand dinners, nakes many holidays, keeps a fat able, lets his wife dress fine, never ooks after his servants ; and by nd by he is quite surprised to ind the quarter-daysLcome round o very fast, and that his credi ors bark so loud. He has sowed is money in the field -of thought. essness, and now be wonders hat he has to reap the harvest of )overty. Still he hopes for some hing to turn up to help him out f difficulty, and so muddles him ielf into maore trouble, forgetting ,hat hope and expectation are ool's income. Being hard up, he roes to market, with empty pock as, and buys at whatever prices radesmen like to charge him, and o he pays them double, and gets leeper and deeper into the mire. C'his leads him to scheming, and rying little tricks and mean lodges; for it is hard for an emp ,y sack to stand up-right. This s sure not to answer, for schemes re like spiders' webs, which never atch anything better than flies, tnd are soon swept away. As well ttempt to mend your shoes with yrown paper, or stop a broken window with a sheet of ice, as to ry to patch up a falling business with maneuvering and schemin g. When the schemer is found out, he is like a dog in Church, whom iverybody'kicks at, and like a barrel of powder, which nobody want-.for a neighbor. They say pove.rt.y is a sixth sense, and it had need to be, for many debtors seem to have lost the other five, or were born with. ut common sense. for they appear to fancy that you not only make debts, but pay them, by borrow ing. A man pays Peter with what he has borrowed of Paul, and thinks he is getting out of his difficulties, when he is putting one foot into the mud to pull the other out. It is hard to shave an egg, or to pull hairs out of a bald pate ; but they are both easier than paying debts out of an emp ty pocket. Samson was a strong man but ho could not pay debt~ without money, and he is a fool who thinks he can do it by schem ing. As to borrowing money o: loan societies, it's like a drowning man catching at razors ;Jews and Gentiles, when they lend money generally pluck the geese as long au they have any feathers. A man m ust cut down his outgoings and save his incomings if he wants to cleai himself; you can't spend your pen ny and pay debts with it too Stint the kitchen if the purse is bare. Don't believe in any way of wiping out debt except by pay ing hard cash. Promises make debts,,.and debts make promises but promices never pay debts, promising is one thing, and per forming is quite another. A good man's word should be as bindma~ as an oath, and he should nevel promise to .pay unless he has clear prospect of doing so in dui time ; those who stave off pay mnt by f-lse promises deservi no mercy. It iN all very well to say, 'I'm very sorry;' but A hundred years of regret Pay not a farthing of debt. ACOLORADO YARN. A Fu Rigged Ship Fond in a Sealed Cavern -Shaped Like a Chinese Junk, With on golan Character on the Prow. The Leadville Chronicle pub. lishes an account of the- most marvelous discovery yet made by mortal man, provide'd that it is true, which is more than doubt ful. Two miners, while sinking a shaft near Red. Cliff, are, repro sented to have found a deep sub te-ranean chamber without ap parent .communication with the open air. What they claim to have seen is thus described: The-cave seemed at first empty. but as their eyes gradually be came accustomed to the deep gloom, the men saw in the further extiemity a huge black object, which, not without some trepida tion, they approached. As they reared it,' to their unbounded amazement, they made out the lines of some sort of sailing craft. It was, as nearly as we could judge, about sixty feet long by some thirty wide, and lay tilted forward at an angle of about. fif. teen degrees over a rough pile of stone. The body of the craft was built of short lengths of some dark and very porous woot, resembling our black walnut, if it could be imagined, with the grain pulled apart like a sponge or a piece of bread, and made perfectly squarv. Both ends (it was evidently in tended for sailing. . either -way) wore turned abruptly up like the toe of a ~peaked Moorish slipper. The planking was apparently dou. ble riveted on with nails of ex tremely bard copper, only slightly rust eaten, and with the heads cut or filed in an octagonal shape, while along the upper edge of the ship eleven large rings of the same meLal, and evidently for the securing of rigging, were counted. At the bottom edges of the craft, and running its entire length, were two keels some four and a half feet deep and six inches thick, hung on metalic hinges, and at the ends were fastened rough cop per rods, extending upward and bent over so as to attach to two masts rising from the upper edges. If the cross of an inverted letter y be conceived to represent the deck lines, the two stems are at about the angel and position of the masts. .These were upward of twenty feet long ; and, as evidence that, a sail was at one time stretch ed across, some ragged remnants of what appeared to be cording were found clinging to the inDer edges. The ends of the masts were secured in pivots, and it was evident that in tacking one could be moved forward and the other back, thus bringing the sail at an angle with the body of the ship-an idea which it might not be bad for ou'r modern navigators to emulate. This, it is believed, also explains the copper rods which moved the keels so as to re ciprocate the position of the masts. While the whole ship was intact, the wood crumbled like dust beneath the fnger touch, and fearful of trapfalls the two pros pectors did not venture to explore the interior. Lying on the ground near by, however, was discovered a gold instrument bearing a rude resemblance to the sextant of the present day, and possibly used to calculate the longitude. No trace of any writing was found save at one end of the ship, inclosed in a medal ring, were twenty-six cop per characters rivited to the wood and bearing much resemblance to the Chinese hieroglyphics of the present day. No human remains Iof any sort were found, although it is possible that a search in the hold will reveal something of this sort. They went to the cabin of a well-to-do miner living some thir ty miles down the gulch, and to him first told their extraordinary story. Tbis gentleman is per fectly reliable, and, together with a well known mining expert resid ing in this city, has seen and ex -arnined the ship, and will take Ssteps to nre8erve the wonderful lise.overy to the world m all its possibly great historieal value. rhe minute particulars as4e the [cality are at present withheld for veiy obvious reason. . The discovery of the junk-like ship with its unknown architec .ure, hermetically, se7led in a ca-. rn' fifty feet below the surface >f the earth, gives scope to indefi riite speculation. The only possi., )le explanation seems, however, .hat ages,or mo ns, 'haps,agoK i vessel bearing a crew ot' Jiscoverers, tossed by the wa iought a 'harbor in. a cavewith 1 liff.
