A farmer, wliose daughter, was abutttlobe tnarned. kindly invited him to make some stay at his ho'usev The peddler accbpHcd the invitation, and re mained eight or ton days, kupt u pris* oner as it wore, by iu* hospitality of his host and a perpetual succession ^of snow fctnrms Tic was present at, the wedding, and at the merry-making giveu by the family in the evening, Where he noticed among the guestfc a young tnun of rather hundsome appearance, who at tracted much nttcntiou by the gloomy fierceness of his manner. Toward most persons lie preserved a sullcj silence ; but he relaxed with the peddler, iaughou and talked a great deal; inquired what route ho meant to take, and how long it was to be before he would be among them again. In due time the peddler quitted the farmhouse, and proceeded on his way Tho couutry just t.h?rc wa* very thinly inhabited, tbs -.roods frequent and of considerable extent, and here and there were caverns of various dimensions. In one of these the peddler one snowy night found hiutsell compelled to take refuge. He had the prccaution'to tAc some food with him; and the cold beiug p:erciug, be collected a quuntity of wood, kindled a Gro aud sat dowu to enjoy his supper beside it. lie had not taken two mouth fuls before he observed a man enter the cavern covered with snow, which he . shook from him as he advanc ed. There was an immediate rccnmii tion; it wus im other thuu the farmer's wedding guest 1 Ho accosted the ped ler with u btrange constrained civility ? rayiifg he was come to tup aud speud the night with hiui. ?You uro welcome,' said the French man. with'U? much ?eil'command us be cuuld assume. 'Perhaps, however/ replied tho Sar din, '1 shall not continue to be so wheu I shall have explained my crtaudi" ? We shall sec: explain yourself.' ? 'Listen then.' 'I listen?proceed. But allow me first to ufi'er you a little supper. Here, pray take a slice of German sausage and a lu lle of this wiue 1 have luckily brought along with me. Taste it; it is very good.' - 'No,' answered the Surdiuian, I will neither cat nor drink until I find wheth er it will be necessary to kill you or not !' 'Kill me V 'Yes, you ; unless you accede to the request 1 am about to make. Listen : I am in love with a girl whose father will not give her to me unless I oau prove myself to be in possession of ooe*huu dred dollars. Now I wish you to loud me that sum, which I will faithfully re pay to you, not nt any stated time, ob serve, for I may be unfortunate ; but I swear to you here on this dagg ;r that I will repay it sooner or later.' And he held up the glittering weapon in the light of the flames, ready !o press it to his lips should tho p.-ddier accede to his request. The Frenchman naturally fi?!t er?.rrt\ mgly uncomfortable ; for, from the sav age aspect of bis guest, he did not doubt he had reason to dread the worst. The Surdinicn continued: 'Should you be so foolish as to refuse me, I shall kill you, take all your property, marry, and make uso of it. But because I am au honest man, I wish you in that case to tell tnc who is your nearest of kin iu France, since it will be my most earnest endeavor to repay htm the money as soon as 1'rovidonce shall havo put It iu iny power.' Here he paused to observe what effect his words bad produced on the pedler, who for some time was too much terri fied to reply. 'Well,' resumed the guest, 'you arc undecided ? It is just what I expected ; it is very natural. However, I will stay all night with you, that you may have time lor reflection, because I would rather not kill you if I could help it. Still, I have made up my mind to be married next week, and I would kill fifty peddlers rather tbau postpone the I ceremony. 'Under tucso circumstances,' replied the Frenchman, 'I must leud tho money, sinco I have no choice' 'Yon resolve widely j you havo uo ohoico. Ouo observation uioro, how ever.

' Afterward* ybu can reckon me out the money; wc will keep up a good fifo, and chat by it nil night, and iu the morning wc will separ ate, each to pursue his on way.' In the morning, as they were nbtiut'to bid ench other adieu, the Sardinian took out his dnggdr, nnd cutting oft one ol* tho buttons from his coat, handed it to the Frenchman, saying, 'Take tnct, utid' keep it till 1 restoro you your money. Observe it is of silver, und has been' handed dowo in my family for many ?generstions. I would not part with it for all you possess ; and when I intend to repay you the' hundred dollars, this is the course I shall pursue : I will say I huvo lost my buttou, and will offer a hundred dollars to any one who shall bring it to me. You will present your self; you will produce the button,und I, us iu honor bound, will give you the sum agreed on. Do we part friendd V The peddler, who, uotwithstandinghis loss, could uot be but amused by the strange character and ideas of the Sardi uiau, gave his hand, and they parted friends. Next year ho passed the same way again, und sure euough found his friend married to a very pretty woman, who had already brought hitu a son. lie seemed very i happy-, but coining op to tho Frenchman, lt? said, 'Now 1 bave lost a button; I urn not rich enough to buy ono to replace it; I may be more lucky next year.' The peddler understood ; and after having becu made very welcome at his house, went his way. A second and third year he returned, and every time found u young son or daughter udded to the family. At length, pleased witii his reception, with the con stant hospitality >h >wn him, with the pleusaui wife l J cheerful increasing family?he took the Sardinian aside, and presenting him his button, said; 'Allow me to restoro you this article of yours which I have found.' 'No, no,' replied his host, 'keep it an other year; by that time I shull be ablo. to redeem it, and at tho same time to spend u very merry evening with you. Come this way next winter, aud you shall sec' Tbo mouths rolled round; the peddler, as regular us the season, came again; and the Sardinian invited hiui to supper All the children had been scut to bed, and he and his wife only remained with their guest. 'Agatha,' said he to her, 'doyou know that it is to your Iriend hero that you arc iudobtod for a husbandl" His wife looked surprised. 'I beg your pardon, dear Agatha/saul he; 'that is uot what 1 ought to have said. I mean I m iudcbtctl to him for a wile, pa it was he who supplied mo with a hundred ' dollars, without whioh?your father would have refuse.? you to mo.' 'Oh how heartily 1 lhunk youl' ex claimed tho wife; 'P r l?j is a good hus band und a good father ' 'Hut 1 robbed him,' said the husband, lie then related Lie winde circumstance, remarking at tho conclusion, 'I intrust my secret to you, Agatha, becauso my honor is as dear to you as my life. Here friend,'exclaimed Im, placing a big on the table, 1 here are your hundred dollars so now restore mo my button, which you have doubtless kept carefully.' 'Yes, here it is!' exclaimed tho French man, taking it from his purse; 'and now wo arc even, except that 1 owe yr,^ very much, for the constant hospitality you hnve shown mo' 'Nay,' replied the husband^ 'it is to you that I am indebted for my wife and children: you have been in some sort u father to us all; and therefore, so long as L have a houso over my head, pray consider it yours.' Peddlers arc sometimes genomus. Taking up tho big of dolls?8j aud turn ing to the wife* the Frenchman said, 'al low mo, madam, to present this to your youngest child as u birthday present.

'The titnc oT the annual vacation of Dr. lto.se was at hand, and the family, consisting of him self, wite, and several children, were to proceed to their 'accustomed resort iu one of the New Kngl and States.

All my preparations for tho' country are made with a reluctance of spirit which is unaccountable. I huvo'tried to shake off these feelings, but it seams iu vaiu.' 'I am surprised,' said'the doctor, 'to he<r you talk in that waSp. You know what reliance I pi ace in'your strength of mind on all occasions.' Why, my dear, this sounds very mUel. 'ike we?k ness. The doctor emphasized weak ness, for ho was slightly provoke^ 'to hear the confession made by his <?ife/' 'Pray tell me,' he continued, 'why our going to the oountry sliould depress you V 'I cannot answer thd 'question,' re plied the wife calmly. ' ff can only tell you that 1 have a stiatige and terrible dread of some impending" ? 'The providence of Odd' guttles and guards us in city or cot?tf/,' und it i. uot proper that any Christian should fear to trust impl-cit ly to.it nt till tunes and in^all placet;;' 'imd tho^Teriry man. 'I accept ytmr rebuke, my dear hus band and pastor,' it turned the wife with u gush of tears. 'Tiut- my heart is sail and desponding indeed.' The doctor now turned to his wife with many affectibhaie and sympathetic words, fur he saw by her tears t'hat she was really iu sorrow. Ina short time she went about her hbu&nold duties, aud the subject was not renewed again il.il ring the d:;y. Tint night, hdwovcr, th" doctor was aroused from his slttnio trS I??? a pieKclng shriek t'rom his wife. She sprang up in bed. and would hive plunged headlong to the floor if he h'nd seized her. 'Oh, savo him ! save him !' was her agonizing cry. ?Wife ! wife !' cried the doctor; 'what do you menn ? Are you dreaming V '1 hank llcav- n, it is a dream !' said the wife, pro-sing her hand to her brow, Oh, wh it t -<u\ sight did I behold !' 'What WBb /?' asked the doctor, in a tone of half Severity and half kindness. 'I saw our Willie drowning in a pond.' 'Now. wife, I must scold yo?/said the doctor. "It is very painful to have a dream like this, but tilt the trouble chines from your waking thoughts, tvhfoh, as you told n e to day, are brooding over some anticipated calamity.' "I cannot help them, and day and night I suffer a misery that I cannot desm-ih.? Let us stay at home ! There is no dan ger from ponds in New York.'' These words wert- a severe shock to the doefor, and for an instant he could uot reply. 'What.!' ho exclaimed : 'do you take counsel of your miserable hiifan fears and WC?ku'CBS instead of your religious' principles? Do yon think shut you can gain any additional safety for our son by staying iu New York ? Why, my dtar. I must say thai you tire worse thud a pa gan !' "I am a timid mother," said the litUy; "and 1 admit that my tears are stronger than the teachings of my faith. Pardon me for it. 1 will pray for strength to the Heaven 1 fear 1 am offending." 'Most grievously/ said the doctor. 'Yes my dear, your duty is in prayer lor help. Mine will be to leave town to-uiorrow, so that in new scones von may overcome all thuiC foolish it<ar.*.' The next day .he doctor ami I is wife and fuuilly left lawn, 'i he mother had given herself to prayer; but this, too, was iu vain. Aller what hud p.is-wd, she could not again declare hur feelings to her husband, but they were QOUU tho less keen and overwhelming li was w ith tho greatest pain that she watched Williu running about tho house, uud counting .the hours for tho tiuio of departure to arrive. She looked upou hiiu as doomed,, aud involuntarily found licrse\f 'muttering, 'fie will not c::mc hack' ailvo.' Joyous to day, perhaps to morroW'will flh'uVhTm'a corpse.' With these' feelings th? mother set out. If . sho hud bceu going to the ex ecution pf a member of her family she could not have taken more relucant and hesitating stopa. She kept Willie by her' side as much as possible, and was in terrible nlarm whenever ho was but of Jthe. [reach ol'dicr protcctiug ntid loving arms. The" summer retreat chosen by the doctor was enchanting iu tho extreme. A lovely valley, with magnificent scenery of adjacent mountains, it was a place whore natuvo had made her most fasci nating haudiwuik. Tho country was in a high state of cultivation, and well to do farmers and city gcntlcmcu had each ns a class vied with the other to add to the natural charms'. There were streams nud ponds, nnd no danger scemud to lurk iu them as they lay, mirror like, in (he summer's sun. But tho mother had not forgotten her dream. She shuddered whenever she saw tue silvery streams and glittering ponds, and many times each day charged her children to avoid going to them. At last tho blow came. Uno day the stillness of the scene was brokou by loud shouts of men. women aud children. lA boy is in the ui'.ll-poqd!' 'Help: help!' i heso were the words that were borne on tne air. All was over iu u few min utes. A little boy had sunk, and rose, aud stretched out his little arms fbf help, and finally hud gone hcueath tho wa ters to ris,e no more in hie. A frantic mother, and a not lets frantic lather, ruu h.ther and thither : and now their wild latueuiuttons were joined in by ail v. ho hud gathered un the brink ol the pe.iool'ul but treacherous waters. Then cauiei the tdie an . drawing u.r the pond for the body ,. ... A few days later the fupijraj took place from the rectory iu New York; and to this day that dwelling has the shadow of sorrow within il. When the mother looked upon the placid face of her dnrlinir, she remark.-d. 'Behold the I HP realization of my dream !' The sorrowing lather and Christian DiiiUStcr clasped his hands, and on the cpfllll, and turning his face heavenward, uttered the ejaculation, 'Father, Thy will be done.' PauptT Lords. The TemjHC Bar for May contains an interesting article on piupor lord*, frotn which wc extract the following passages: "Among the strangest cases id' p tor lords are to bo reckoned those who have voluntarily encoun tered poverty. In the person of the eldest son or tlj s Karl of Lovelace? tho Countess was Byroti's daughter Ada ?we have one of the most singular ex amples of a young loid submitting voluiitaiily to poverty and painful toil. While he was Lord Oikham; and after he had come to grief as a midshipman, lie Si rved ^> a eomiuoii ?frilor ou board an American merchant vessel.

Tho Kurl sailed thence eastward io the Atuericau schooner Hera, of which he was the chief offieer. The Hera iu course of time reached Hong Kong, but at that tiino the Earl?or Charlys Os wald?was no longer on board. The story she brought with her was to the effect that, shortly after she was out, the ship was caught in a gulo. It became necessary to take in the mainsail. While engaged in this task the chief mate and a scamau becc ne caught in the tackle. A heavy lurch oT the vessel hurled the former?(Jharlcs Oswald?into the sea. The storm was so fearful, the seu so heavy, that it was impossible to save the unfortunate nobleman, who then and there perished. Such is the story; but if a mau should turu up in a dozon years, prove that he was Oswald, the J mate, rescued by some other means,? that it had suited his humor to wander about the world ever StO.ee, but that at lust he intended to take to his own again,?he might prove a very unwel come visitor to tho waiters for the in heritance. Ho might, perhaps, cry, "Fortuna srqnatur !'?' as he began the work, and scat himself comfortably at Haddo House, Fraserburgh, Aberdccu shire, at the cud of it. "Taking tho question generally of hereditary gcntlomon turning adventu rers,?vagabondizing over the world, courting poverty nnd peril, getting drowned at sea aud coming up ag*>iu after their death has long been a matter of congratulation to tho next heir, and perhaps of the whole family,?tho law ought to prevent their cruel nud imbe cile vagaries. If a nobleman, as a mat ter of caprice, chooses to pass for dead during many yearn, and after quietly al lowiug the natural heir to take posession of the inheritance, comes once more up on the stage and claims to act the first part ngain, .it would be well if the law could prohibit the new assumption. A small annuity, paid quarterly, is the ut most that should to allowed to these humorists , "It is quite another thiug with men of title whom poverty has driven abroad in the world, but whose industry has built up new wealth wherewith to gild the old ti'le, if they chooso to assume it. \Yc may instance the ?? of the Norwich 1 aronetcy as to tu. point. Sir William Norwich lost tho Bampton es tate by gambling. His brother and heir, John, beeamo a peusioner of the Mont ague family. This pensioner's son, Sir John Norwich, diel in the parish work house of Kettering, in which town his son, Sir Samuel Norwich, worked as a common sawyer. Sir Samuel, it issiid, had the look, carriage, and something of the address, of a gentlemen.

Mark Twain lectured i:i Syracuse re cently. iu I hut city there d.veils a barber who, , ever since the nppearanoa of Mark , Twain's essay on barbers, has vowed to make the humorist's imagination u real experience to him. His opportunity came on Wednesday afternoon, and tho incident ii thus de scribed : A gcntloman present wdiispoted to Jake that the man iu the chair was Mark Twain, and on that hint Jake 'wjent for him.' Selecting the dullest razor in the shop, he sharpened it tip a little, and then seizing Twain by the nn.e, with n grip that would bring down a bullock, he commenced to lather him. He soaped him front chin to eye brows, and pushed the lather-brush about lip inch up bis no.-e, and ther.cn into both ears, p? or Twain in the meantime phoning and sputtering like a steam en ginc blowing off s tea in. In vain h? pcrMatol that he tlid not want his forehead and eyel rows shaved. 'Keep still,' said Jake. 'J know my business.' Alter soaping him until he looked like an albino, .lake laid on the blado. The first stroke brought tears into Twain's ryes. Tho second brought him to a bitting position with uu exclama tion : 'I say, that razor \i too dull to slnvo mc with.'
