It vrns a bri-jrht winter mornine. and I 4 I t I Mr. Segrist's two prht.ty nieces had' just conio down stairs fresh na Hcbo, and pink-chceked as the roses of fragrant hyacinth bells iu tho south window, where the sunshine hud g<uio.into such a hopeless tangle, with ,the ivy vine* and rosobuds and feathery sprays of feru. Very protty girls they wore, in a delicate womanly fashion, although un body would ever have been rcuiiuded by them of the Venus do Medici, und not au artist hud evor thought of atikipg them to sit fur a Madonna. It is every day ?i^lu of beauty that wears bes% ami Lisa aud Cora t-ighed for nothing rarer or more preoioui. 'So ho has failed has he ?' said Cora to her uncle, who bad just been promulgating tho news of the day from behind bis newspaper! 'What a pity ! aud he was so nice and agreeable.' 'Failed! ? Mr. Kirk wood !' echoed, Lisa, lier rosy check losing a shade or ao its satin bloom. 'On, uncle, how did that happou '(' 'As most failures happen my dear,' said Mr. Scgrist, folding up his paper and lav in:; bis spectacles on otic side; preparatory to the morning meal. 'Too much press of canvass, nnd ton little ballast. Some people ne\cr will learn wisdom. Yes it is a pity ; ho was a good young fellow enough, und this will throw hiUi back a go?>d twenty years." Lisa sat thinking, her pansy blue eyes fixed intently on the pattern ofibt table-cloth, her red lips apart, until her sister's clear, bud like voice roused her from the temporary abstraction. 'Upou my word, Lisa,' the elder cried merrily, '1 do believe jou arc iu a trance. Why didu t you an.-wer my question V Lieu started, both cheeks suddenly crimnouiiig. *1?1 was only thinking, Cora. * What was it you asked 1110?' 'About uur ball dresses for to morrow evening. I think buuehes of silver bar >Cj ,?..*:u *c .?'v.-....,. Lmn.thmn, upj than Mio cwullnon-puce roses. Every body wears roses.' 'Oh \ Cora,' cried down-right Lisa, 'how can you talk about ball dresses when ? tvliMi you remember who was to have taken you there V 'Mr. Kirk wood?' said C?>ra, calmly. Of course he'll not go u >\v. but we can easily aend for cousin George' 'Then you really mouu to \ oV 'Of course. Why shouldn't I'( Surely. Lisa, you can't expect mc to go into mourning beeauso Guy Kirk wood has failed! He was no relative of ours.' ll think ho loved you, Cora,' said Lisa, in a low voice ; 'nnd you thought so too.' 'Uc mhst learn to unlove mc, then,' said tho elder sister, with a musical little laugh. Mr. Kirkwood, the sue ceasful merchant, was very well, but Mr. Kirkwood, the beggar, cannot ex pect to indulge id the luxury of a wifil Of course, all that is over, for good and all.' And Corn calmly poured out a second cup of coffee for her uncle. 'Hut, Cora,' pleaded her sister, 'it isn't as if you yourself were poor. You know wo will have a little money of our own ' Very true, wise Lisa ; but I mean to keep my own to myself, and not spend it in bolstering up the ruined furluues ol au uulucky speculator. No, no, child, my husband must bring money of his own, not be a drain upou my slender resources.' Lisa shook her head. 'That sounds vory worldly,' said she. 'Does it'{ Now 1 think it has just the common-scusical sound to it. People must look ut these things from a practi cal point of view.' 'Uucle,' cried Lisa, almost passion ately, 'don't you think she ought to like him all tho better beeauso he is iu trouble aud need V 'My dear,' said tbe oid gentleman composedly, crumbling up a bit of dry toast on hie plate, '1 can't pretend to judge ol these things. You girls must mauage to settle your affairs between you.' 'My mind is quite tuntie up already,' said Cora Segrist, calmly. And when poor Guy ?Kirkwood's came up that ufternoou to the room whero the two sisters were arranging tbe bunches of silver barley curs that Madame Fbhu, the milliner, had just sent round in a mammoth paper-box Bessie, the maid, came curtsying demurely down into the parlor, with ? ?IMense. sir, Miss Cora is engaged.' Guy Kirkwood webt slowly and sadly away, without ansWeriUg a single word. If only she had remained true to him, ho believed that be could hare breasted the cold waves of all other fate ; but note? Well, sttih was tho way of tho world He must make up his mini to take the bitter with the sweet, as it eatue. Hut the sweet bud been houey-sweet, and the bitter was as gall; M*tide, can I speak to you for a mia ute ?' Mr. Segrist, setting away tho files of dusty papers iu his law library, started at tho BbUnd of tbe soft, bell like voice. 'My child, I thought you aud Cora had gone to the ball.' 'Cora has gone, uncle; but I thought I would rather remain quiet at home. Uncle.?' And here she paused and hesitated. ?Well, child, what is it ?' 'You are my guardian and trustee, uncle,' she went on, as if forcing herself to speak. 'Will you tell mo how much money Cora nnd I hate each got?' 'About tcu thousand dollars, Lisa j but what makes you ask '(' ?And can I do as I please with it?' 'That dopends on circuinstaoces.? Probably yes.' Well, uncle, I want to lend it to Mr. Kirkwood, to help him get into businsss again.' 'Child, what for?' 'Because ho has no friends led, uncle; beeauso I feel so sorry for him,* said Lisa Segrist, with deepening color and downcast eyes. 'Aud uncle, he must uot kuow who lots him hare it.' ?Why not, you little net work of rid dles-and mystery ?' 'Oh, because I couldn't bear to havo him kuow. It could be managed, couldu't it ?' 'i'cs, I suppose. Bat are you really in earnest, Lisa ?' 'Yes, uncle.' 'And the interest of the money, which has always supplied you with pins at d I ana rinoons a'im ?"^c>^yj I generally ?' 'I can do without that, uncle,' Lisa resolutely answered. 'Hut you mustn't tell Cora She woubl think it silly and rntutintio.' ?Well, well, child,' said Undo Segrist smiling though he w;ss in reality deeply moved : 'you shall have your own way.' '1 he next week Mr. Kirk wood's lawyor informed bitu that ten thousand dollars lay at his bauking house, subject ta his draft or order any time. 'Ten thousand dollars!' cried poor Guy, quite overwhelmed at the magni tude of the sum ; 'who would leud un ten thousand dollars V 'That is what I am not at liberty to tell y>u,' said Mr. Sessup, stiffly. And it was iu vain that Guy Kirk I wood, marshalling in his memory all his probable and improbable friends tried to fix the benefit upou ooe or the other of thctni No, he could not place it anywhere, this mysterious benefaction ; he must accept it in the spirit iu which it had becu given. 'And I will try to prove to my un known fricuds,' he said, with achokiug voice, 'that tho favor hits uot been bestowed in vain. Upon this founda tion, Heaven helping mc, I will build up the beginning of a new fortune, with a more prosperous career.' Mr. Kirk wood's words proved almost prophetic. Five years from that time, h? had uot only regained bis former position in the commercial world, but had shut beyond it ; and Cora Segrist, who iu the mean time had indulge.I in several futile flirta tious nnd brukeu off twu cngagetuonts, bogau seriously to consider the propriety of once nunc, threading her not for the bird she had let fly so long ago. 'Beeauso I roally am gutting quite middle aged 1' said Cora, demurely ; 'and Mr. Kirkwood certainly is more charm ing than ever.' Guy Kirkwood come often- to Mr. Segrist's mansion; but Cora, disposed though she was to take tbe moat favor able view of matters, could uot but mis trust that it was more on her sister's account that her own. 'Docs ho really care for her, I wonder?' thought Coru, 'or is it only to revenge himself upon mo for the cavalier manner iu which I dismissed him five years ago ? Nonsense ! Lisa isn't half as pretty as I am, and aho nerer was. I shall win this battle yot.\ < Li? ! loft tho Mr. Klrkwood had just posted a letter ?a mlssivo whereupon hUdg his fato? to Lisa Scgriat. For ho had learned to love thp shy, gentle girl and lacking courage to tell her so in words he had put the substance of hia heart's hope on paper. 'For I won't live in this stato of *us penoo any longer,' was his secret re solve. From the post office ho went directly to old Jessup's law sanctum. ' I la vi; you paid back that ten thousand dollars' aocordiug to my ordets?' ho said. ,1 paid it to-day, with logal interests, both simple and Compound, !*?* five years,' answered Jcssup sticciuotjy. 'I only wished I knew whom to thank for this stopping-stone to fortune. Old Mr- Scgrist, who was sitting by, looked up qucerly over the topS*'of his spectacle-glasses. 'What would you give to know, Guy?' said he. 'Half I am worth/ was tho impulsive answer.' ?Well,' chuckled the old m toll you on cheaper terms th was bound over to socrccy foir^ but tho time was up last wo< inyaterions good angel was stf ie other than my little niece Lisa.' Kirwood colored?his heart gave a great upward bound, Lisa ! hi i He turned silently away, and i ?11! co. { A curious way of acknowledging a j favor, cried Mr. Sogrist, a htps testi iy. i ! '?Hem !; commenced Mr. Jess up. I 'There arc some who feel to much. My ! client, I rather tiling, belongs; to the latter class. I do not believe Jio is un grateful-' 'Nor I either?on the whole*!said Mr Sogrist, repenting him of bia 'As for Guy, ho went Lisa. 'Lisa,' he said 'J. havo writ letter which you will probat to morrow moruing.

Lisa had grown very palo and qttittt. 'No,' she said. 'I accept no mere tribute of gratitude.' 'Hut, Lisa, the letter Which I wrote to you before I board these tidings ? the Icttcj asking you to be my wife? you must answer that now,' he plodfd, rcfusiug to lot go her trembling hand. You have said 'no' to my sccoud offer, what do yon say to my first?' The mecshad returned to Lisa's check the soft light to her oyes as she put, the other hand willingly in Kirkwood's and answered. ?V?.' Daniel Webster's First Plea. Ebenezcf Webster, father of Daniel, was a fanner. The vegetables in- his garden suffered considerably from the depredations of a woodcluick, whose hold and habitation was near the prem ises. Daniel, some ten years old, and his brother Ezckicl had net a trap' and ut last succeeded in catching the tres passer. Ezekiel proposed to kill the animal and end at once all further trouble with him, but Daniel looked with com passion upon his ncek, dumb captive, and offered to lot him go. The boys could uob agree, aud each appealed to his father to decide the case. ' Well, my boys," said the old gcutle mau, "I wil! bo Judge aud you ahull be coutucl to plead tho case for aud against his liberty." Ezckicl opened the case with a strong aagumcnt urging the mischievous nature of the criminal, the groat harm he had already done, said that much time and labor had bcou spent iu his oapturo and now if suffered to go at large, he would renew his depredations, and be cuuniar enough not to be oaught ayaiti and that he ought now be put to death, that his skin was of some value, and that, tuako the most of him they could, it would not repay him half the damage ho hud done. His argument was ready, practicall, and to tho point, and of much greater length than our limit will allow us to occupy in relating the story. The father looked with pride upon hie sod who bees me a distinguished jurist in his wanbo d ?'Now Daniel, it's your turu; I'll hear what you're got to flay,' It Waa hut first case. Daniel saw that the plea o, his brother hud sensibly af fected his father, tho judge aud his large brilliaut black eyes rested upon tbe soft timid expression of the animal, aud he saw it tremble with fear iu its narrow pri on huu.se. His heart swelled with pity, and he appealed with eloquent words that tho captivo might go free God, he said had made the woodchuek Ho made him to livo to enjoy the bright sunshino, the puro air, tho fields aud woods. God had not made him or any thing in vain. Tho woodchuek hud as much right to live as any other living thing: he was not a destructive animal, like the wolf; he simply ato a few com mon vegetables of which they had plen ty, aud could well spare a part; ho des troyed nothing except the little food bo ato to sustain bis huu.blc life; and that little food was as sweet to him and as necessary to his existence as was to them the food ou their mother's table. God furuished their own food. He gave, them all they poscsscd and would they uot spare a little for a dumb creature who really bad as much right to his small share of God's bounty as they themselves had to their portion? Yea, more; the animal had uevcr violated the laws of his natare or tho "laws of God, as mau often did but strictly followed the simple instincts he had received | from tae hands of tho creator of all things. Created by God's hands, he had a right from Cod to food, to liberty, j and they bad no light to deprive him of cither. 11c alluded to the mute but ear. nest pleadings of the animal for that life as dear to him as were their own aud the judgement they might expect if in selfish cruelty aud cold hcarteduess they took the lifo they could not re.itore again. During tho appeal the tears had start' ed in the old man's eyes and wcro fast rnnuiug duwu Iiis sUuburut cheeks, livery feeling of a fathers heart was stirred within him. nnd he folt that Cod r-'i .?-;,>. ?>ud tbe 1 t of cum U1UU UlCU.

The first step a person takes is to put on a very old and ragged coat, under the impressiou that when he gets his mouth full of plaster it will keep his shirt-bosom clean. Next be gets his hands inside the place where tho pipe ought to go, and blacks his fingers, aud then be carefully makes a black mark down the side of his nose. It is impos sible to tuako any headway in doiug this work, until this mark is made. Having got his face properly marked, the vic tim is ready to bogiu the ceremony. Tbe head of the family?who is tho big goose of the sacrifice?grasj* one side of tbe bottom of the stove, and bis wife and the hired girl take bold of the other side. Ia this way the load is started tbe woodshed toward the parlor. Going through the door, the bead of the family will carefully swing his side of tho stove arouud, and jam bis thumb-nail against the door-post. This part of the cere mony is uevcr omitted. Having got the stove comfortably in place, the next thing is to find the legs. Two of them uro left inside of the stovu siuce the Spring before ; tho other two must bo bunted alter for twenty-lire tuiuutjs. They arc usually fouud under the coal. Tbeu the head of the family holds up oue side ot the 8to"c while his wife puts two of tho legs in place, aud next he holds up tbe other side while the other two are fixed aud one ot tho first two falls out. Hy tho Lime tho stove is on its legs ho becomes reckless, aud takes <>fT his old coat, regardless of his linen. Then be goes off for the pipe, and gets a cinder iu bis eye. It dou't make auy difference [how woll the pipe was put up last year, it will bo found a little too short or a little too long. Tbe head of the family jams his hat over his eyes, and, taking a pipe undor each arm, goes to the tin-shop to have it fixed. When ho gets buck bo steps upon ooc of the best parlor chairs to see if the pipe fits, and his wife wake* him get down for fear he will scratch tho varnish off the chair with the nails in his bo?t-heol. Io getting dowu he will surely step ou the cat, and may thank his stars if it is not the baby. Then ho gets an old chair, and climbs up to the ohimncy again, to find that in cutting the pipe offthe eud it has beeu left too big lor tho hole io the chimney. So |he goes to the woodshed, aud splits on one side of the cud of the pipe with an old axe, aud squeezes it "in his hands to make it smaller. Finally he gets the pipe in shape, and finds that the stovu does oot stuoJ true. Theo himself und wife*and hired girl moves tho stuvu to tho left, und the legs fall out again. The nest move is to the right. Muro difficulty with the legs. Moved to the frotit a little. Elbow not with the hole in the chimney, and ho goes to th? woodshed after some little blocks. t "While pultiug tho blocks under tho legs, the pipe cornea out ol'iho chim ney. That remedied, the elbow keeps tipping over, to the great alarm of his wife. lie then gets the diuuer-table out, puts the old chair on it, gets hie wife to hold the chair, aud balancoshim self ou it to drive some nails iuto the ceiling. Drops the hammer ou his wife's head. At lust gets tho nails driven, makes a wiro swing to hold the pipe, hammers a little here, pulls a little ther? takes a loog brcalh, aud announces the I ceremony completed.

Our readers must have noticed' for some days past a caravan passing through the streets, from the interior of which a br.u?* baud thunders forth j stnngo melodic"* with much braying ?f "?BfejMjlpi"''"iMjf while bchiud the pn-.vTi f .?! v :.;-m; a i i-Ior^mngr'.y clad horscmcd gallop1 to ami fro in stifle Glo, wearing the aarapos and huge ?wi< hrorns of the Mexican va puero or cattle herdsman. These men ride small, but vigorous and fleet mustang potties, aud uro the most daring horsemen probably that have ever visited Now York city. Recently, at the Cupitolinc <? rounds in Brooklyn, this Mexican circus company exhibitod in presence of a small but select audience. Those who hate road Mayuc Reid's highly sensational hunting novels may have formed some idea of what these hardy vaqucrors of the debatable laud ou the Texan and Mexi can frontiers can do in the way o? riding, with or without saddle. As it is, it is necessary to sec tho performance to uudcretund it. There are nine horse men i'i the company, Who have ail been bred in Mexico and Texas from child hood, the principal of whom are named Thomas,an American*Mexican; Moroaco, Carquiero, Kossuth and Lopez. Thomas was the chief rauchoTO for President Benito Juarez, who had ninety farms iu the sister Republic, aud he is certainly ouc of the most expert horsemen wc have ever beheld. 'While dashing at headlong speed ou his fiery mustang bo stooped, without stopping his speed, aud picked up a white handkerchief from the grass. Lecu then wus the next to appear ou the scene. A savage and curaged Texan bull was brought forth, aud Leon successfully threw the lasso over bis horns aud brought him up standing on his hind legs, although ho made desperate efforts togore the specta tors, who ran wildly out of his reach. Then 'Leon jumped on his back, rude him around the gronuu to tho bull's utter dis comfiture, und all the while smoked a Havana segar with the greatest coolness possible. Carquicr throw a wild mustang a cumpleto souiursot by the tail while the latter was going ut full speed?amost astonishing feat. Four of the riders, winh: going at a speed that made tho spec tutors dizzy ij the twinkling of au aye, drew up iu an even Hue, the mustangs panting aud tndeavoriug to break loose from the inevitable grasp of their riders. A smart pony, with as many tricks in him us Beu Butler possesses, was lassoed by the riders aud brought up standtag. Then there was a pouy race to soe who should own the odd steer, as is customary with vaqueroa in Mexico, and no suok speed has ever been seen on a race track in America as was made it) a spurt of three quarters of a mile by these' horsemen yesterdsy. It is * jUjl these spleuded horsametiand" and bull tatner? could not aar? sali tuuity to exhibit at Jerome Pserkewi Prospect Park, where a large ssMnibtags of both Jbcxca might have an opporiuaitj to witness their unexampled Feats Of horsemaoship. As it is, they can testtak* but a few days at the GapitoHne QuemU, us no other plaoe could be foundUrgs enough for the exhibition. For grass, management of the horse, aimpleOcss of riding and perfeot agility in the saddle, or bareback riding, they are uuequaled. Their saddles weigh sixty pounds 4*4 thair stirrups are vary olumat. bat tbaw \ do not seem to mind their encumbrances 'whatcror. A comical Irishman offorsd [ himself as a victim to be lassoed,and twe> horacmen galloped their mustangs at fait speed after him, throwing their lassoes with the greatest swiftness, bat the Iris** I man Was too m?ch for the Mexicans, a* ! he ran all over the field ia such a! manner that the vaqueroe were ly tanquiahed and the Irishman i j much laughter' from the crowed- Hi isaj j very dangerous thing, however, to do, sat it might possibly result ia a broken ?sail to the victim who is lassoed by thewiidr Mexicans.
