Mrs. WimxIh had gone to attend the Methodist imtdiug, accompanied by her , ?j?n Cecil and the two little children. Julian Woods, her eldest son, had gone th - evening h -fore to a neighbor's.

Then"she got thinking of him, "How smart be is' lie knows everything, and lie is so gentle arid kind to me.

I believe he is prejudiced to hi ill. i know that he is n-bld Anil brave, and true. May be Cousin Ju?\<cv can't understand?" lL,w long Ouseio would have mused in this wise had she uot been interrupt ed, we know not, nor to what conclusion She would have arrived. Perhaps Gus eio had made up her mind already about Montague Bailey. Perhaps her musings upon which wo have intruded, would have revealed more of her thoughts, and hiay have told iis of some little passage* between him and herself. Dot she was interrupted. Down the avenue, leading from her mother's to Dr. Ilnzlcwood's, she saw ap proaching her brother Julian, leading his horse, and walking nloi|g with him waft Montague Bailey. Oufcaie stopped musing at once, and fcal for a motntint watching their ap proach, and catching their voices as ut - iirtoirrn! their sohuds eam? to hor on the breeze, Hum jtliuping tip rhe tin need* to ? lief 6WW littte room, to arrange her . f-?^hh? and fiwotrc hvrself that she was nufatt, ate she had learned to say t'roir.

"Wo profcrrcd to sleep late, and take a quiet walk over here. How pretty you look thi? morning. Gussie! I'll swear, Julian, I am getting desperately iu love with this little Gussie of yours !" '?Oh ! pshaw ! Montaguo, let's havo a milk punch, and thou a nap before din ner, what do you say V* '?Yes, to the milk punch ; no, to the ap. I want to talk French with Gus sic this morning." The milk punch was made and dis posed of, end Julian retired for n nap, leaving Montague Bailey to talk French, or anything cli*e, and Ouasie to put away spoons, sugar-dish end milk-pot. While Montag?? is waiting, p:pc in mouth, fur his little friend Gussie to be seated for a chut, lot us introduce luin to you reader, for he will be an acquisition to your acquaintance. As he sits in the window now, hi.-> at titude is characteristic. He appears a musing, dreaming lazily, elegant youth, one who has seen most of life's fluctua tions, one of a latent and slumbering en ergy which no adequate incentive has ever stirred into action, one who is drift ing, asleep and droatuing, in some Boft jiliding boat ndown the tide of time and life, one who has never loved or who is ever iu love, with some ideal of his fan cy, with all the beauty of nature, one whose soft hand aud graceful motion spoke of the Kitaciter in motto, while an involuntary Hash of his eyes, unasked and uubiddeu told of ihu fortitrr in re. Such was his nature as suggested and expressed by his attitude. His person nrl, was about as Gussie had it iu her musings, not decidedly handsome, but pitssessing some striking aud distinguish ed points. g? . Such, reader, was our hero ! '?Well, Gussie. if you have finished your household duties, come and sit over lv. iu nod witch the breeze iu this win dow. I see your Kreuch book here, were you conning it, to-day. con nmoref' ''No, sir, 1 was looking at thu book, only to despair of my ever mastering the language."

Let your heart speak it*s own language and tell me if you love." And Gussie's heurt did speak ith first word that day. It told itH first secret. It spoke out what it had felt for a long, long time. It spoke in her eyes, ns she -looked at Montague, iu her attitude, us she leaned her head upon his breast, in the pressure of her hand in his. Her heart spoke that day in the boat of its very life. Love is life ! Gnf-sic lived and loved. Her heart's beat trtltl of its existence and its love to gether. Montague Bailey spoke this language and understood it. The French has boe'ii said to be the language of flirtation, btlt this, the langtiHgo of th'i heart, this is lovo'fl owh urtieulation. ! Well, reader, this is how Montague Hailey popped the question. Of course, he kissel Gussie Woods that day. We need not tell yon that. And their vow, that solemn uttoranco, in that holy voice of love and truth, spoken in that language of the heart, the same voice of harmony that vibrates through iinturc. that rapt inspiration hears in the grand ''tnusio of the spheres," and that resounds at His throne who is love, their vow was registered iu Heaven, by that rccordiug Angel, who is of the Cheru bim, "who love the uioat." Julian Woods awoke from hisunp; the church party returned, and that goldeu summer day waned and faded into dusky eve, y b I that bright sum mer faded into blown autumn, its young leaves withered and rustled to the chill earth, its breezes grew hoarse and cold, its flowers bloomed no ui<>ro forever. Montnguo Bailey told them thut uight thnt circuiust-auce, "thut unspiritual god and miscreator," compelled hiiu to leave thnt neighborhood. He undo adieu to that quiet homestead and its loved ones, und departed. But Gussio Woods knew he wouid re turn ! Yes! faithful to his plighted word, spoken iu luve's holy language, upon the merry Christmas night, when the yule log burned upon the hearth and lighted Gussie's happy face, Montague Bailey came and claimed his little friend to be his little wife. [rito.m oub fashion couuesi?om?&nt.] Sow York Fashions. NknVI ORT, ?September, 1SG0. This charming watering-place is this year as iu years past the most exclusive and aristocratic in the Union. The richest people arc here in the greatest nnmbers, the equipages are the most imposing, the dressing the most lavish and at the same time the most artistic. Even the young men here dress as befits the escorts of such birds-of-Paradise look ing belles. The usual costume for young gentlemen is white duck or light cloth punts, black, green, purplo or golden brown velvet coat made* sack shape with large and well worked pockets, vest of white Turkish Towel cloth, Sailor hat of straw with wide ribbons?bright kid gloves. Ladies here frequently order their costumes from New York. This is found to be a be!(er plan than taking several trunks along at the beginning of the season, for in this way the freshest styles can be exploited?and even hits of styles to be, such as are constantly coming over from Paris, can be embodied. The lady sends her measure and order, in a few days she has her suit. The following is an out door costume for damp days, made at the Metropolitan Furnishing Booms : A suit of the new water proof material in shot colors, violet and goldeu brown. This wa? very simple but at the same time very stylishly made. The skirt was short and round, and faced around the bottom with a bias f: eing of the same, stitched on the Orover & Baker machine with a double row of bruwu silk same shade ns the brown iu the dress, nod between them a row of stitching in silk. A small tight fitting basque accompanied it, the waist of tlie skirt was finished to match the bottom so thut it could be worn orrr the basque as well as under it. and thus have the effect of a round waist, the bottom of the basque and the sleeves were trimmed with bias bands stitched to match the waist and bottom. For occasions when greater warmth might be required the tunic could be worn. Thia tunic was a'very happy compromise between s WuttcftP casjquo and a Mackintosh wrap. 'J ho fronts wore suck shape, the sleeves being formed of the half-cape were loose and large, but the backs instead of having the plain night* gown look of the Mackintosh was pleated on nt the neck in two box pleats and allowed to fall u la Watteau?a belt of brown leather stitched in fancy pattern on thu machine was slipped through large button-holes formed in the seams of the half-cape eleeves and agnin in and out of a couple made under tho Watteau pleat, thus allowing that and the sleeves to fall gracefully and free, nud causing the front and tho sides of the buck to fit themselves to the figure. If desired, tho edges of the tunic on each side of thu fall might be looped up and thus effect u punier puff. Another was a reception dress chilly days. There arc many such days always on the sea coast, though here fewer than clse-wherc, owing to the peculiar geogra phical position of this island. This costume will give ah Idea of styles later in the season. It has a very heavy black silk with black velvet rears ut the side. The fronts of the dress weft? ot black velvet cut to fit tho figure, and open to show the petticoat beneath. They arc fastened pretty close togetlitff with black velvet bows, the sleeves are )(*r?e Pagodas striped with black velvet which formed battlements hs a trimming. Accompany ing this is a thin silk bodice, high necked, with light Atting sleeves to be v>n> under it and a long naSgslip of the Btiiio to he buttuucd U8B&3 front in imitation of a petticoat, t^HRttou holes are worked on tapes seweu^u the inside of the dress, aud thejbuttpua which are of blue silk arc sewn on the silk strips? the same style of buttous lasten the under waist, which is so boautif'ully fashioned and finished, that on warmer days, itcau bo worn over a white skirt when the slip that belongs up the front may be MS?S to loop the upper skirts en, panier?the buttous which are for use iu ouu instance being for orusmcut iu another. Blue satin slippers should be worn, with it J with white skirts. The back of this felt from the neck iu the Watteau pleat, now so much uficctcd?nud an ornament of blue cord and black chenile held it down on the neck to about the depth of j a yoke. A mo*c effective mode of mak ing many aud distinguished looking toi let.- at a small outlay could nut Well be devised. We are glad to see the old fashion of trimming hilk with velvet revived. Velvet is one of the few trimmings which t pays to p/irehasc and to pay even a high price for.r J ATOM CA. A Georgia Scene* Many years ago, when the Stale of Georgia was in its infancy, one of the Circuit Judges was Bela J'ro%n?an an cestor of the "socesh" Govcfnor of that name. He was 3 man of ability aud in tegrity, but like a good many distin guished persons of that day. lie loved a social glass; and whenever the members of the bur would turn iu and help, he sometimes drank to excess and became gloriously fuddled.' On one- occasion, while traveling on his circuit^? reached the village of Dayton, iu DoVily county, where the court was to be opened next day. and took quarters with e.+c]ative of his wife, that lady accompanying hi..:. Supper being over, Judge Un-wu strolled out to the only tavern in the^ilnec, kept by one Sterritt. where he met a number of his legal friends. A convivial even ing ? as passed ; drinks frequently went round, and somewhere about midnight, the Honorable Bela was in a state ot mind quite the reverse of that implied by tjjc old saw. "sober as. a Judge." When he was leaving for home, one of the young lawyers, in a spirit of mischief, slyly passed some spoons from the tum blers into the Judge's pocket. On dressing himself next moaning, the eccentric official, putting his hand into his pocket, was greatly perplexed in dis covering three or lour rilvcr spoons. '?.My (T..d ! Polly," said he to his wife, '?just look her-.; I believe I've stolen some of Sterritt's spoons !" "Let's see them." said his wife. "Yes. suro enough?here's his veritable ini tials ! P?-ay how did you happen .to have them in your pocket V "I think 1 must have been drunk when I came home, wasn't 1 V inquired the J udge. '?Yes," replied the devoted Polly, ' you know your old habit when you get among those lawyers." "Certainly ; 1 can understand easy enough how it all came about. That fel low, Sterrit?, keeps the meanest liquor in the State ; but I never supposed that to driuk it would make a man steal?" The spoons were duly returned to the landlord, and the Judge went and open ed his Court, thinking no more of the matter. Several days elapsed, and the business of. the Court was drawing to a elo-c, when one morning n rough looking customer was arraigned before his Honor for larceny. He pleaded guilty, but said in mitigation, that he was drunk at the time ho committed the offence. "What is the nature of tho charge against this mail f" enquired Judge Brown. "Stealing mouey from the till at Ster ritt's tavern," repliod tho clerk. ?'?Young man," said the Judge solemn ly, "are you sure you was intoxicated whon you took this money ?" "Yes, your Houor,* I was so jolly drunk that thiugs looked like they was dancing double shuffles, und when I went out doors the ground kept coming up und hitting me ?u tho head." "That will do," replied the Judge. "Hut tell me, did you get all the liquor you drank nt Sterritt's V "Every drop of it, your Honor." "And so you got tipsy on his liquor, und then utule his money If" "That's it, exactly; I didu't know what 1 was doing." Turning to the prosecuting attorney, the worthy magistrate s^iu . *u>a \s a inO?t oiiiumuiiiury uu?o, Mr. Attorney, and one, I think, demanding the clemen cy of tho-Court. You will therefore do me the favor of entering a nolle jtrote. That liquor of Stcrritt's I have reason to know, is mean enough to make a man do anything dirty. I got drunk on it my self the other oigl^.. and stolo nil his spoons ! If Stcrritt will sell such abomi nablciiuff ho ought not to have the pro tection of this Court.

Now Johnny had what is called "sulks," because he was whip ?od, and in order to convince him that he was justly and necessarily punished, his teacher had recourse to the following argument : ?'Well. Johnny, suppose you were riding a big horse to water, and had a keen switch in your hand, and all at once the horse were to stop and refuse to go any further, what would you do?' Johnny stifled his sobs for au instant, and looking up through his tears, inno cently remarked: *T'd cluck to him, sir." "But, Johnny, suppose he wouldu't go for your clucking, what then V Ul'd get down and lead him, sir." "And what if he were obstinate, and would not let you lead him ''" "Why. I'd take off his bridle and turn him loose, and walk home, sir." "You may go and take your scat, .) ohnny" Johnny could not be made to see tho necessity lor using tho switch.

Tue Wboko Man in tiik Wroso Place.?A few days since a young couple, just married at Wutcrhury, Ct., got on board a train on the Natigatuck road, bound for Bridgeport. They had a sweet time, billing and cooing in proper style, until the train reached tho junction. While waiting tho groom took a stroll on the platform, aud the bride also im proved the time to walk to the forward of the car. As the train started she returned, and seeing her husband, as she supposed, seated comfortably; she popped into the same scat, and lovingly rested her head on his shoulder, while the cars passed through the covered bridge. Un fortunately, she had mi--taken her man. and as the cars emerged from the bridge, a trembling voice whispered iu her car that he didn't quite comprehend the situation. I.miking up, the bride fouud an unknown blushing youth, while her liege lord was standing in the aisle with a look of blank astonishment on his face, not knowing what to make of "such conduct as thoso." Tho r rror was cor rected at once, but tho fun was too much for the other occupants of the car, and every sleeve contained an enormous though quiet laugh. To Mauk SAvkkt Pickle*.?A I dy correspondent of the Country Gentletktn gives the following recipe fur making sweet pickles: Cut the tomatoes through, or if large, slice in three ; let them stand in weak briue over night. To a quart of vinegar throe pound* of sugar ; in this viucgar cook the tomatoes until a fork can easily be passed through them. As fast as they arc cooked, take them out with a fork and lay them down iu a jar?say two or throe luycrs of tomatoes; sprinkle pulver ized cinnamon and cloves, and a thin lay er of sugar; then alternately tomatoes, spices and sugar, cooking all the tomatoes in the same vinegar; if necessary, add more sugar and vinegar. When the jar is filled, covor the tomatoes with good cider vinegar cold, throwing away the vinegar in which tomatoes wore cooked. Lay sonic horse radish root over the top of the pickles, and put a weight on to keep them covered. Jhis recipe is equally good for cucumbers. I have tested it for the past two years, and found no trouble in keeping good pickles. - i ? - ? ii - A ronaway borne apd mU* wrJ Stilled icar children in Memphis.
