CAUGHT ii THE AG?* Oiice, Jilling the summer solstice (says a lady correspondent of Beadle' Monthly,) when everybody that wa anybody (except myself) had gon out of town, I was left to my o wi devices during the day and Ben.' society in the evening, for wini amusement I could find in hot, pave ments, shaded houses, and libation of ice-water, for the space of tw< never-to-be-forgotten weeks. All thc neighbors had de sorted us; aud I had watched trunl after trunk, and carriage after car riage, starting for various destina tions. Our next door neighbor, Airs Beverley, had gone, with the t?v children, and faithful black Hose, a the very beginning of the summe ?littings; and as Mrs. Beverley wa my especial admiration, and th children my favorite amusement, wondered how I could possibly go through the weary days with on them. Little "Dory," (short fo Theodore.) whose father's eyes ha olosed in this world without seein the face of bis little son, was au an mated sculpture of the purest marbi? lighted up by dark orbs that scenic to make whiter the ivory skin; an his sister, two years older, w;.s th most bewitching little romp that eve spoiled white dresses, or set at nangt all tlie rules of propriety. As#for the gentle, sorrow-strieke mother, whom scarcely any one evi got a glimpse of, I had fairly storm'' her into a sort of liking for mo scaled her castle on varions pretext and carried oft' the children so fr quently, that the fact of existent became too apparent to be ignore? All the family laughed at my passic for Mrs. Beverly, and all that pe taincd to her; every one acknowledge that she was lovely and attractiv but completely wrapped up in k< children and the memory of a hap] past. My feeling for her, howevc amounted to perfect enthusiasm; ar we had become very good frient some time before her departure, til had not gone among the "chart? ing" Miss L.'s, and B.'s, an "! 'K' with their rainbow-hued dresses; b off among the given hills of Ne Hampshire, where aunt and eousii waited to welcome her and her ch: dren to pure air and green pasture She would be gone all summer, ai had laughingly requested me to ke< an eye on the house while I reniai ed near it. It is needless for me say that I kept two eyes perseverin ly fixed upon the domicil whenev opportunity offered; and held eu less discussions with Ben. as whether all the doors and windo* were properly fastened-for a co stitutional dread of burglars was o of my idiosyncrasies, and I had fi quently been . 'nonstrated with f looking upon ti .n as snpernatni beings-inasmuch as, from t nature of my s-. ' . before retirin 1 evide.. iy l ip. -d them to hal in burean draw, .. and store tin selves away in small boxes. Mrs. Bov< rley had frequen spoken to me of a brot her, whom, tho country people say, she seem to "sot great store by;" and who v now studying a profession in a d tant city. He w.is to join her 111 N Hampshire, and return with her o; visit; and she had expressed a stro desire that we should see each otb I was quite persuaded that she bo] a great deal from this seeing; am must confess that the fact of being Mrs. Beverley's brother tin a halo of strange interest around ? Esselton. I often found myself thinking him ami wondering what he.was 1 -or rather, what be would strike as being like; for, of course, bissit had drawn her own impre: ons him for niy benefit, und if these pressions wen- corn i ; must la uncommonly nice ti v. His p tograph waa decidedly handsoi and without ever having seen him, I ' felt pretty well acquainted with him in advance, and waited rather im? patiently for October to bring Mrs. Beverley back to town. I bad even decided how to "do" my bair, and iu wbat drass to appear, on my first pre? sentation; but I could not bell) wish? ing tbat soinethiug unforeseen and romantic would occur to bring about tbat first meeting, in a way entirely different from the usual I hackneyed course. I bad my wish, as time will show. About half of tho two weeks bael woru away, when a very warm day and night, tbat called forth experience and comparisons from al. the "oldest inhabitants," came down upon us with fury; and after"gaspi jg thrungli thc day in some sort of fashion, I left my couch at midnight, in utter dis? gust at my folly in supposing that I could sleep with the thermometer high up among the nineties, and be? took myself to tho window. Certain sounds that proceeded from the next room convinced me beyond a doubt that Ben., though present in body, waa absent in mind; aud with the pleasant consciousness of being the only person in the house at all alive to the allai rs of this mun? dane sphere, I turned my attention to tlie glorious moonlight that, aa Hood enthusiastically says: "Makes earth's commonest FCCITS appeal All poetic, romantic, und tender." Bat while engaged in vague specu? lations about the moon aud stars, a sudden noise brought my thoughts earthward again; and glancing to? ward Mrs. Beverley's back premises, I actually saw a man on the uppei verandah, opening one of the bed? room windows! My heart almost stood still with terror; but by a fearful effort, I re? strained myself from screaming for Ben. was very bard to awaken, and both our throats might bc eui before this was accomplished. Not venturing a second look, 1 retreated trembling fro m the window, and proceeded to the task of arous? ing Ben. as quietly as possible. Having obligingly left bis dooi unlocked for my especial comfort, there was no time lost in effecting ai entrance; and had my brother ben capable of appreciating the vision, he would have seen a wild creatur< in white drapery, calling his nam; in a night-mare whisper of terror but, of course, without producing I the slightest effect. Ben. always slept with revolver.' under his pillow, which made nu chary of touchim; ' im-for fire-aria affected . mo as a drawn sword dh James thc First; Bui something mus be done speedily, as I fancied tba impudent man perhaps loading him self at that very minute with mova bles. "Get up!" T shouted, waxing stronger, "Ben.! Ben.! Get up, tin moment!" "'Tisn't time yet," grunted nv provoking, brother, now half awake as he turned over like a sluggard. I never had any patience with peo pie who almost require a charge o artillery to bring them back to thei sober senses; and shaking him no\ with right good will, 1 screamed "Thieves! Robbers! Fire! (iel up! A head t hat would have served fo Medusa started from thc pillow; an out came those horrible revolvers pointing directly at nie. A fran ti yell, that I tried in vain to Rmbthei I issued-from my hps; and Ben., HO' quite awake, shouted at me: "Mariai What, in the name . Heaven, is the matter? Do stop thu confounded noise!" Ile had quite forgotten to call in "Minnie," as 1 always insisted o being called; being terribly eames he had gone buck to the humdrui appellation that roused my intens disgust. I was too much taken n with the revolvers, just now, to r< mind him of his omission, and Ix tween my terror of the weapons, an his desire to uso them immediate) upon somebody, we seemed scarce] likely to come to an understanding. Finally, however, Ben. was mad to comprehend what I had seen; an being requested to retire while 1 donned a few articles of clothing, waited in breathless suspense for b reappearance. "The fellow wiil not be in a hurry, said he, in answer to my fears tin lu; would escape; "he knows tl family are ont ol' town. 1 shall g a policeman, and secure bini qaie ly." And bidding me be of good co rag", he closed the fro?t door, ai looked np and down the street, cowered in lite parlor, half disposi to rush after Ben. and insist upc accompanying bim; but I was n exactly in promenade costume, ai it would take so long to "get mys< nj)," that by that time, tiie alb would be over. Then, too, tho dreadful revolvers might he used; ai a hallet Would be almost sure to hal in ray ann, or, perhaps, in soi more vital p:>int, should I chance be within shooting distance. These considerations induced r to remain where I was; ?d'!, i, 1 wanting dreadfully t<< know how mi ters were progressing next door, was obliged, however, to wait i I Ben.'? return; and then to draw t desired information from him, ph by piece. Alter an int' rminable lime, made his appearance, saying: "\V( the fellow's safely lodged at t station-house for the night; let's to bed, little girl." And this was all, was it, after au an excitement? Brevity may bo 1 soul of wit, but it ia not the soul of satisfaction vtffcen one i?, hungcli?g for information. "Now," sai tl 1, planting myself on tho ?fc?rs in a deckled, attitude, "just please to remember that he is my burglar; if it hadn't been for me you would never have seen him, and I insist upon hearing something about him, Begiu at the beginning, aud tell me what you did first, after yon left me." "Looked for a policeman," replied lien., hopelessly. "What next?" ? "Found one." "Next?" ' "Told him 1 had a little job for him." "What then? Ben., do you happen to know that you are a particularly disagreeable and tormenting animal? Why cati yon not give me a spicy and graph.' count of your adven? ture, (whi< .. . one that you certainly do not have every night of your life,) sb as t<> present il (Jenr)y to my mind? No .," said I, "what was the man doing when you found him: Was he rolhng np the carpets, <>r what?" "He was not doing anything in particular," was the reply, "we found him comfortably lodged in the badi bed-room, sound asleep." I was fiilcd-with amazem< nt to find that my burglar bad ouly wanted a n ight's lodging. "That does not follow at all," sal." Ben. authoritatively, "ho was sure o: his house before be begun, and being just then in need of comfortable rest he concluded to take it. and othei things, at his leisure. Ho seemed determined not to wake until we hat turned on the gas full blast; wher he sprung up and caught mc by tin hair. A sight of my pistols, however soon quieted him, tn say nothing o the policeman's appliances. He's toi nice-looking a fellow to be engage? in such work, and he" carried it of with a high air -protesting agains being disturbed, and assuring us tba he had a perfect right at Mrs. Bever lev's, as ho was a relative of tba hilly's." "A relative?'' I repeat d, wit! breathless ink-rest. "That is what he said: but th polio? man coolly replied, with a grin 'You know it ain't exactly the fasliio for relatives to visit folks in your ol] handed way-climbing in at thei windows when they aro ont of town and as y? u seem to be in want of night's lodging, just put on you duds and I'll aeconunod.at.ii you : the station boase.' '.How dare yo mention s ich a place to me?' stcrnie thc grandiloquent"burglar! 'I tell yo 1 have just arrived in the city, tire out with my journey, and carnie ben at tin - request of my sifter, to iran: act sonne business for her in ihisvei house.' " "His sister!" I exclaimed, in grc< excitement; le.it Ben. went on regan less: " ?Do 1 look liku a hu..dar?' 1: asked, striking an attitude! 'A the burglars I ever sen were mu? like other people,' said the unin pressiblo policeman; '?.onie bette sonne wors?; and cans..-you happen I have Sb straight nose and be persoi able-looking, ain't no reason why v should let you off. So, ju>t you con along quiet now, and it'll be tl better for you.1 "i'm obliged to y< for your invitation,' replied tl burglar, who seemed more dispos? to laugh than he had been y< 'which appears loo preying to I declinad; but I eau assure vc that T am very comfortable here, ai also that [ have a perfect right to I here.' 'A difference of opmio mebbe,' returned the guardian of tl public p. ace; 'but when I see fol breaking into other folks' houses, n orders is to nab 'em.' 'Bat y< didn't see me doing anything of tl kind,'retorted the culprit. 'You s; me peacefully sleeping, and made i unwarrantable assault upon im 'Well, this gentleman's sister saw yo any how,' said the policeman, .lett mined not to be baffled. 'Thei observed the robber, with ratln r comical smile, 'it is to a lady that am indebted for these polite atti tions?' So take care, little sist< that he does not wreak hisvengean on you. My experience of burgh is not extensive, hut this fell? doesn't look at all like his business just, the kind of a man i'd like smoke a cigar and have a good ti with."

Alt?r?t ive and Blood Piui lier, is the most perfect vegetable con:- . pound of alteratives, tonics, diu re ti cs and ? diaphoretics; making it tho most effective invigorating, rejuvenating and blood cleansing cordial known to the world. In introducing this nev/ ami extraordi? n?r? medicino to the public, observation leads us to remark that too ?ttl" attention is paid to the "life of all flesh," Ibu blood. Many discasi s, and, too, many complaints, which have their origin in a vitiated state of the blood, are treated only as symptoms and result.-; whereas, if the remedy had been applied to eurieh the blood and ren? der it pure, both cause and effect would have been removed. The Queen's Delight is offered to thc afflicted usa ?-er- remedy for those diseases arising fcc m an impure condition of tho blood. It baa a direct and specific action upon that fluid, and consequently renders tho blood pure. It is saiii, on high authority, that ''man no sooner begins to live than he begins to die, and that the characteristic^ ? f the living organism are ceaseless change :...d ceaseless waste." It is obvious, there for?, to every reflecting mind, that unless tho blood ispure, in supplying the waste tis? sues with material, it must be tho cause cf inuumet?'di- ills and const it ut ional disor? ders, such as Scrofula, rheumatism, He? patic Disorders, Consumption, Inflamma? tions, Fevers, Ac Life and health is only to be maintained hy the circulation of pure arterial blood. \Ve therefore advise every one v. hose blood is in the least vitiated by indulgence or excess, und whoso constitution i? im? paired hy disease and is suffering from Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, Consump? tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles, Boils, Itching Humor of thc Skin, Erysi? pelas, Skin Diseases, Totter, Roughness of thc Skin, Pimples, Blotches, Pains in tho Bones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilictic Sores, Indigestion, Inflammation of the Bladder and Kidneys, Pains i:i thc Pack, General Debility, and for all complaints arising from deficiency ami poverty of blood, to use the Queen's Delight. Fem iles of delicate constitution, suffer? ing from weakness and depression o? mind in consequence of those complaints which nature imposes af the period of change, have a pleasant and sure i*. mady in tho Queen's Delight. Children whose fair and ruddy complex? ion gave early promise ol health and beauty, but too soon become blanched urid pale by some heredit?r; taint of the blood, will have the rich boc ? restored by using the Queen's Delight. The tinac< lima ted and persons traveling into wann countries will find the Queen's Delight a gri at protection from all malari? ous affection ano diseases ?hieb originato in a chango of climate, diet and life. The extraordinary and unprecedented cures performed hj thc Queen's Delight Compound is attracting the attention of every one, not only at home, but abroad.
