Frank Belmont wa? a stranger in Bos ton-a New Yorker-immensely rich and fashionable, but his reputation had not preeceded Juin, ^fl?d Charley-Hastings was the ouly niko wno knew him in Eng land. Ho procured nu introduction to tho beauty ATARI? one of tho managers, and ?OOT> naniy*l ?nd talked himself tstc her good graces. ?n fact, it was a deer ease of love at firs 'gbt on both sides.

"Why do you sigh, Mr. Belmont.?" asked tho fair Ida, somewhat pleased with tiiia proof of sensibility. is not thia a gay scene T" "Alas, yes," replied Belmont, gloomi ly, "but fate does not perm't rue to mingle habitually in scene* Uko this. Tiiey only m?ke my ordinary lifo double gloomy-and even hero I seem to see the shadow of-a fiend waring me away. What right hare I to be here?" "What fiend do yon allude to?" asked Miss Heathcote, with increasing interest. .'A fiend hardly presentable ia {rood society," replied Belmont, bitteny. "One could tolerate a Mepbistopbiles-a dignified fiend, i.ith his pockets full of money-but my tormentor, impersonfiea, .voula appear with seedy boots and a chocking bad hat." "How absurd I ' "It is too true," sighed Belmont, "and thc namo of thia fiend is Poverty P' "Are you poor?" "Yes, madame. I am poor, and wheu I would fain render myself agreeable lh thc eyes of beauty-in tho eyes of ono I could love, this fiend whispers to rae, 'BewareI you have nothing to ofter her but love in a cottage.' " ., ','Mr?Belmont," said Ida, with sparky, ling eyes, and a voice of unusual anima tion, "although there are sordid souls in this world, wno only judge of the merits of an individual by his pecuniary posses sions, I am doti one of that ntupbix. I respect po vet ty ; tthere is.' o ".net hin1; high ly poetical about it, and I imagine that happinesses oftener found in the humble cottage than beneath the palace roof." Belmont appeared enchanted with this encouraging j nvowa*. The- next day, after cautioning his friend Charley to say nothing cf actus! c?^^mtiasces, h?i ?alleo on tho widow Heathcote and her fair daughter in the character of tho "poor gentleman." Tho widow had veiy differ ent notions from her romantic ofisprlng, and when Belmont candidly confessed Iiis poverty on soliciting permission to address Ian, he waa very politely re quested to change tho subject, and never mention it again. Tho reedit of alt this' manoeuvring waa nu elopement : tho bolle of tho ball jump ing out of a chamber window on a shed, and coming down a flight of steps to reach her lover, for the aako of being ro mantic, when shs ?night just as well nave walked out the front door. Tho happy couple passed a day in Nuw York city, and then Frank took his be loved to ula "cottage." An Irish hack conveyed them to a miserable shanty in the environs of New York,_ where they^ nlightcd? and Frank, escorting ino bride ???o tue Hps ri iceni which - served for parlor, ) kitchen, and drawing room, and waa neither, papered nor carpeted; -introduce'/ lier lo' his mother, much io tho way Claude Med notte presents Pauline. Tho old woman, who wac peeling potatoes, hastily wiped her hands and face with a greasy apron/ and saluted her "darter," aa she caliea her. ea both cheek?. ''Can it bo possible," thought Ida, "that this vulgar ?reatare is my Bel mont's mother?" "Franki" screamed the old woman, "You'd better go right up stairs and take off them clothes-for tho boy's been sent arter 'em mnre'n fifty times. Frank hor ned them clothes, ma'am," she added to Ida, ?w - way. -Of .c^pp??i?ori,- "yv Joyk smarlwfcsfe fie Wont down East.'? "* V ? The bridegroom retired ou this hint, and soon ro-appeared in a pair of faded vest, and, inBtoacL'Q? Ids varhhme?l?eaib.er boots, a pair of immense- cowhide bro gans. "Now," said he, sitting quietly down by the cooking stove, "J begin io feel at homo. Ah? thia ie delightful, iac'i it, dearest?" and he warbled, "Though never so bauble, there'* so nineo Ilk? boma:; Ida's heart swelled so that sho could not utter a single word. "Dearest,'1 said Frank; "I think you told mo-you had no objection to amok in??" "Noi?o in in the least," said the bride; "I rather like tho fiavo? of n cigar." "O. a cigar?" replied Belmont; "thai would never do for a poor mani". And O horror? he produced an old clay pipe, and filling it from a little news, paper parcel of tobacco, began to smoke with a kconkelfib.' t?

Thc siory is bilit but with an immense moral aa showing how in some things lovely woman will always como to the relief of a sister in d?slrea to outwit the tyrant mao. The journalist above referred to, was stopping at the hotej, a private qno whore the guests were accustomed frO-'tbe ontirc freedom ot the howie, felt interne night the necessity of eating somo fruit before retiring. It was too late to send out to buy any ; ba did not want to arouse'the servants of the house at so late en hour, and yet fruit or Ereserve* or something toothsome of ; the ind seemed to him a personal necessity. Ee knew where tho store*room was, know that the door waa left open, and finally resolved to go down and prig enough to satisfy his need. No sooner was the thought conceived than acted Upon, and within five minutes he was in tho storeroom hooking preserves out of a jar and enjoying himself immensely in satisfy Inj*, tho caving which had como PFor jBbw^j?mcnU ibo enjoyments of the mMMMM^MH^M **a complete.

Far ther, and moro terrible rtill, he discover ed'that tho plump1 form-of" tho lady who had wanted something to eat aa well as he was clad ouly io a night-dress. Still, though trying, the occasion was one not of unmixed horror by any mcuns, and in a alomen? the gentleman's nerve returned and his curiosity rose to fever beat. "Who is this?" he demanded of the plump figure in bis arms. No answer, n "Who ia it?" he repeated. "You'll Dot get ont nf this until you tell." Still BO answer, bnt a struggle in tho darkness, the plump figure 'trying bard to get iiway. Again the querry waa repeated, with cqua: lack ot response, but thia time a rcsoitadingslap in the Taco from a hand that was d?nbtles pretty, but which hit if Ith decided force, was tho reward of the rmostloner. He wes put on his mettle at once. ?Mots think you'll get off unknown I We'll ree about that 1 .he exclaimed. Tva a device that'll work, I think." And then, after a silent and determined ?.irusg?e, he caught a Uttle bit cf tho lady's right cbeelTbotweeu hi? teeth and bit it-not badly so ac to break the vel vety akin, but sufficiently hard to leave a nark which he know could not disappear for a day .or two. Then, ho released his unknown prisoner, and ehe fled like the ?rind along the passage, disappearing is .orne room impossible to locate in the darkness. Tho next morning the gentleman with a miatory to naive came down to break fast carly. No ladies had yet appeared but at his table were ono or two intimate raft)* friends, and to them ho confided tho atory ol' his fid venture in the hight, rela ting also the means he had taken to so care the identification of tho un known lady. The most intente curiosity at ones prevailed at the table and the advent of the ladies was awaited with an, Impatience scarcely to bo contrc-iicd. Flvo minutes later tho door opened and the belle of the hotel entered demurely, ![lided across tho room and seated herself or breakfast.

Tho best farmers in our country prepare their lands and plant ?heir crops as if making prepara tion ior a dry year. Tiley plow deep and S?ive the crops plenty of room. These armers generally succeed in making good crepe. On tho same principle, it would be well for every farmer in our country to lay up all kinds of provender for his stock, as if he were certain the winter would be a hard one. There is scarcely any danger of the :ountry bo coming overstocked with lung forage. On tho contrary, tho dinger is that the IM i on nu! bo empty i o foro the March winds have ceased to blow.

This ia still more startling, but nothing Is easier of proof **" * SHORT SENTENCES.-Short phrases have ever been most powerful ana beau tiful mediums of conveying thought They are simplicity, and simplicity is beauty. Easily understood, no study is required to grasp tho meaning. A pro phetic politician makes a-dociaration re specting government, end tho people soon catch tho spirit and confirm the declara tion. Results from uch phrases may not bo immediate-but tho words go sounding on uutil their work is accom plished. Short phrases are comprehen sive, and sometimes contain wholo vol umes. Cesar's "Veoi, ' vidi,' Viel" ' gavb the history of a wholo campaign. And the lost words of the dying Tom Paine "I take a leap in the dark 1"-a confes sion of judgment stronger than the Sufi-. delity of a lifetime. When the remains' of Napoleon Bonaparte were brought to Paris by Prince do Joinvillo, the entire speech-making was this : "Sir, I present to you the ashes of Napoleon." And Louis Phillippu answered, "I receive them in the name of France." Such was the brief responso of a poople to tho presence of tho dead emperor. Some times , in a single sentenco tho lifo and character of some great man stands out strangely revealed and individualized. No biographer could depict tho character of Enoch more clearly than the simple words : "Enoch' walked with God, and was1 not- for<Jod took him." The first chapter of Genesis is a symbol of the power which a few words can embody. *^- "Alfi* vanity," remarked a tinware paddler, the other day. "What's lifo lo mo but boiler and tin sell?" - "Why. Ichabod, I thought you Sot married mor'n a year ago."
