"I. will," said Mr. Crofton heartily. An o the compact was sealed be wenthem. Insutead of thbe wveek lie had proimisedl his father to spend with Colonel Mon. ,teagle his stay wa~s extended to three. aAt tihe end of that period lie gravel) hi addressed himself to the dark-eyed daughter of thle house. ''how is the trade?" said he. "'I am to have a machine next week,' said Mary, with the conscious pride oi one wholt has conquered fate; ''and then only think of it; Mr. Orofton, I sh.il earn five shillings a day!' "Mary," said Mr. Crofton seriously, '"1 ha~ve been thinking of another plat for you." ''You tell me that this farmer's wife has made a first-class housekeeper oi Syou?" "I~ bake~d mince pies yesterdiay," said r' (juilt within the week." ,4 "' don't like the ideca of your' going~ yV into a factoi-y," said'Mi-.

"Now to the more persoal one, "Don't you think, Mary, that you could love me?" "Because I love you very much in deed!" "'I don't know," whispored Mary, "] might try. ' And then she blushed charmingly. So Colonel Monteagles daughter went to her lover's home, and astonished every one there w'th her thorough knowledge of housekeeping in all its details. And the two o!d people with the bur den of insolvency aud care lifted oil their lives, dwelt quietly on in the an bient tower-like house, and tialk to everybody who crosses their path of "the excellent marriago which my daugliter Mary has contracted." 'A thorough scholar," satys Colonel Monteagle, with dignity. "A musician, a linguist, a thorough liebrew student, and a proficient in Latin and Grek." "It is not singular that a girl of such intellectual power should narry well." But Colonel Monteagle, honest man, never dreamed that it was the sowing machine and the vehement struggle to get free from debt which conquered Mr. Crofton's heiart. There are plenty of scholars and poet esses in the world, but a real womanly .woman, is nct her price far above ru bies? It w-eame necessary recently for Dr. Townsend, the physietan in charge of the Paterson, New Jersey, smallpiox hospital, end his five assistants, to take oath to their acconuts in order that the bills might be presented to the neeting of the allermen. It was thought imprudent to allow them to go dowin through the city to the re coider's office, an(d on the other hand Rte corder Ureaves did not care to go to the hospital to adiuister the oath. After )oiderimg over the matter lie (ceided to send Assistant City 1hysician hlurd to the hospital with the bills as his proxy. The doctor got the hospital physician and his assistants to sign the allidavits on the end of their bills, and then hunted ii) a Bible. When all had put their hands on the t.ok, Dr. 1Hurd went to the telepihone in tihe hospital oflice and called up ''328," the number of the instrument in the re corder's ofliee twenty miles away. "[Have they all got their hands on the book ?" asked the recorder. '- es, all ready," replied Dr. IIu rd. 'Very well, then," said the iecorder; 1you, as my%, dcl)ity, repeat to ite depo nents what I say : 'You and each of you do solemnly swear-' " "You and cacti of yoi do solemnly swear, " repeated )r. Huri. "That tle annexed accounts ire just, trud and unpaid--," said the recorder through the telephone. ''Thiat the ainiexed accounts are just, true and umpaid," repeated the doctor. "So hel) you God," said the Recorder through tile telephone. "So help you (lod,"Irepeated Dr. Hurd. "Now kiss the book," said the tele phone. "Kiss the book." repeated the toetor. The six hospital attaches kissed the bible in turn. "They've all kissed it," said the doctor through tihe telephone. "'[hey have ?'' answeredl the recordler in suirprise. "'Why, 1 didnlr't hear it. Let themi kiss it again torld enotigh for me t~o hear It." Tlhie kisses were rep~eatedl with. an energy that sent the reports vitbratmlug over the Wire vigorously enoughi to b~e rep~rodulcedl on the metallhe disk at the receiving end. "'I heard those. Tlhat,'s all right ; good bye," said1 the recorder, hanging up his ear pice'(. A short tie afterwards Dr. urdl drove upI to I he stti on house and laid the alibia vits before the JeCordter, all properly slgn ed and the Itecorder afllxedt his ownI signa fiure. certifymng that they had aeen "'sworn and sulbseibhed before him.'' Tlhese bis went in ithm the other claims agatina, thle city, andt were tuly re terredl to the Ihiance commlittee to be anidIted. A t.ist item11 of ihhurn in g oh I, Mr. and1( Mrs Samiuel Schwab, well known ini Kinigstoui, New York, had a very narrow escape from hosina thelir lives at thle lfe at the Standar-d Oil Works, at G1rent)omt. Cilata) Schwab 's boat was lyimg at thle (locks with a load of coal for the works anmd waIs piartly unloaded, when, at abouit 2 0 cloc0k SundA~ay af ternoon, a terrible explosion win heard anid It wais disc(ovee thaht one of the oil tanks was on tire and there wais great danger of othlers exploding, and the captsam,seeing the dan ger lie was in, east, off his lanes from tile oil scowv alonmgsideO of hhn, as thle scow was 10oaded with cans full of oil. But just as lie was about pushmng oil another tank ex ploded, seattcrig the oil in all directions. All at once the fbunes andt oil caine roar ing fromn uinder file (lock and thlQ oil scow cauihht fire and( thie cans5 explodd. Ini thme meanime, Captain Schwab and wIfe were on their boat, nmot twenty feel away. T1o escape to thie dock was un possible, as the whole place was on fire, and( the wind blowing in the opposite di rect ion blew his hoat toward the flanmes. T1o jumpll overbjoardl was imp~lossible,as the whole creek was one hibrze of fire. A third tank exp'lodedl, throwing timbers and iron over t heir head s andt ini all dlireettons~ for a quiarter- of a mile arouind. Their- own boat was also burnin~g fast. Whenn the lire on thme water seemied to lbe ext ingished, Mr'. Schwah juimpedl overboird and lie called to his wile to) jmpi also, which shec did. They clung to the burning boat for' fIfteen minutes. A man named Da'vid Sutton plicked them uin i a small b'oat. Mr. Schwab's handls were badly burnt, fils wife's hands are burnit severely. Tlwo fingers on one hand1( and one on the other werh burnt to the hone, where she had been holding on a piece of hot Iron where the wood had already been burned off. Tihecy were ihmme'diately takenm to a place and ('ared fr Cod isIng. Capt. Al Foster is an aneient ilhei man.

This is my twelfth yel of fishing about New York, and ever year 1 learn more about the watys of th cod and his followers. The way ti we know that the cod has miado his at pearaluce is by the advent of the dog-cot a not agrecalie but seasonable litfl fish. They are voiy peculiar in appel' anmce, having a horn on their bagk 11 and also on their tail nieasurinug two inches in length. When the o46i cod comes it is a sure sign that the co is near. The dog-cod are very raiveiioiit and sometimnes drive the cod awan They are a species of shark, aid it veiy poor eating.

When 1 g on a cod-fishing excursion I nak arrangements to 1ish five hours, and i the weather and ground are hairorail the catch ranges from 550 to 1,500 i number, the fish weighing troni 3 to 5 pounds. The big fellows cannot, courso, be landed with tihe line ailone We use a large gail-hook, striking ih barl) into the fish's back and thus land ing him. "Cod fishing is invariably done wit drop lir.es. 'lhe imackmeni use wi are termed 'scroll lines.' They ar from 1.000 to 10,000 feet in leigth at. hold about 0,000 hooks. The line j sunk by leaden ballai and wound in circlo about three feet from Whe bottoni The hooks are biited with sea clanis o "'skinners." The scroll is left on th bottom for twelve hours and theni i retrieved, whenm it is vea y ol tenl discos erud that every hook has its lilb.

Tho chief sporting paper of Vienna k has published the description of a bear y hunt in Trausylvaia wbih is gene railly attributed to the pon of the Crown Prince Rudolph, aud is perused with great interest. After relating the Wni dents of the first unsuccessful cday, r during which several bears wero met with and wounded, but not a single on killed, the Crown Princo continues: "On the 27th September we still hunted in the forest, but close to its edge, s where tilled floids anid houses would be r likely to prevent the bear from escaping U out of the wood. The drivers' first triail was in viain--no bear showed Itself; but their second march through the wood was more successful. The row of I luuiters stood in a deep trench in which grew splendid old pines (each hunter 11n11. his trenichmanlil and several Young forest ers behind him, who load the ritles aiAuld present thon to the huuter). After waiting for sine tine a powerful owl flew by me, and inieudiately afterwards c:iie a two-year old brown boar, who trottOd -ownl the montain side, making for the spaco between Count M. and hiron J. Just as lie was reaching the rp)lain t he Baron shot him inl the shoil deIr. lie now changed his direction, and ran away at great.speied, so that the Count's ball missed himi. 110 was still going it a inpi:1 pace, wheni the Count, while tuning around for his loaded rlle, Slipped and fell, so that his trench 3 ma was obliged to sendi a shot. after the lllimll, which caused it to fall an1d roll forwird, Another shot from the trench man's rillo at last mado an end to his life, after lie had risen from the ground, aid matd2ei a few paces more. The hear was borne home in trilunph. " Oin the t. lih of Septembller the Crown Prince ha an active 81aro in ho hunt., which 3 ho deseribes 1 follows:-"We had taken cur plaees ()in the broad road used by the wvoo2d earts.
