We opine that the production referred to, is descriptive of the home scene that takes place when the mother at work is .overcome by the "art less cunning Of the ?darling sweet,' " and snatches it rapturously from among its playthings on the floor, to kiss and talk to it. llero it is: "Where's r.e baby, bess it's 'art, Muzzcr^ Httle darley boy, ?

In the summer ?f'lS??, Frank Manly and I were bomew'tird-iittbnd, from China to Boston, in the splendid clipper ship Sunset. We were children together, and had followed many a butterfly in company. In later years, we had often run after tbo.se marvelous butterflies in pink sun bonnets?those Will-o-tbe- Wisps in di mity?in other Holds; rather as rivals, though, than sidc-by-side companions, to confess iL This was Frank's first voyage as mas ter. Ho was now, two and twenty, every inch a sailor and a man. I was his only passenger, running home alter some' trueaney, in a period between a closing clerkship and an opening partnership at Canton. These were to me delicious days?care-free, and every hour with my old playfellow was communion of a raro order. We were chatting one evening openly fqr there was now .nothing between us but the cabin table. The light burned just low enough for the quiet dreamy hour that Frank reeled off tome the small talk of the dear old town, of which his memory held an unreckonablo cargo. There was May who had married Jan uary, and the squire who bad draak him self from nfllucnce to the poor-house. IIo told of young Skinuom.who in boy hood won marbles, and sold them again to the losers at a hundred per cent, ad vance upon regular rates?who never played on tho ''Fourth," hut opened a curb-stone bazar of pop-beer?of his own brewing,?ftre-crackors, pcaiYttts, and a full line of dried anplo tarts? of low grade. Now ho was piously loaning money Saturday nftcruoous to gain Sun day, at two i>cr cent n month, and won deriug what.thisjWorld would bu without interest. Ho had bought a book, "Busi ness in Heaven," which proved to him that the occupations of earth arc con tinued above. He riw?lt with miserlyv unction upon the life to come. The steward now appeared with our evening coffee. Then came the usual cigar, and we swung apart- iu meditation as lightly as, t wo vessels parting compa ny after exchanging sea-courtes-ies. "Captain," said J, suddenly, as if something had just come to mind, though' tho question had been balancing on my tongue for an hour? I "Hal,", interrupted my compauion, ''don't Captain me off-deck, here under the cabin-light, if you lovo me." "Well then, my modest old desk-mate how is that little Amy Woodson whom you used to endow so bountifully iu school-days with pickled limes and chew ing gum ?" My captain?the splendid fellow?to show his unconcern, breathed a couple of smoke-wreaths out of his mouth' and replied with counterfeited sadness, "Hal, I shall never have faith again in the power of pickles with school-girls, and I am a doubter forever of the virtue of BpruCo gum. So, so, my sly boy, you were on that tack, were you? But you *may as well emulate the example of your forefathers and throw that chest of breakfast-tea overboard, for father Wood son has goto where tea-drinking is neither a blesseng nor a sin. No, no, Hal Bay El well WcatVerod us all. By Jove, 10 think of it! Tho little toad that I nursed through vulgar fractions and the rule of three?who never had spunk enough to kiss n girl u? '<:r four years?to marry Amy I But the ways of woman arc woutierous, Hal. The Sunset is my choice. Isn't she a h?auty ? I am wedded to her." and I thought, How could a woman resist you my handsome captain ? "Poor puss, she ha I a confounded rough way of it," he continued. "What do you mean?" "Why, haven't you heard of it?" "Vague rumors only. Her father, cashier of ihe bank* Wasn't there trou ble? Was it all true ? Proud old man' His heart broke, I fancy. For Heaven's sake, Frank, tell mc what you know," 1 demanded. "Well, weil, old quill-driver, don't rough up so. I do know about it, and, though I say it, more than nny but a very few in the old town. I never- was any hand at a yarn, but if you will have j it, maybe 'twill harrow you some, seeing you were u little, sweet on Amy." "Come, come, captain?there, chummy thou?begin. But, by George, if you exaggerate one iota, I'll call the Sunset a clumsy old nookor-" "Well, I needn't atk if you rcmem her Amy," began my vis-a-vis, tonnen tingly, "nor toll you of her step in the dance, ol the color of her hair and eyes, nor what her laugh was like, nor what a woman she has grown. Let me sec, you left home iu forty?" * "Eight." "And you remember General Wood son, then, ns a i'hecrful, clastic old gen tleman, who, at the bank-counter, told off the notes with a celerity littlu less than magic, to our unaccustomed oyes. He was a favorite everywhere, you know. With a lad's help he performed all the* labor in the bank, except when Amy would come down o/icc in a while to I give him a lift on the books. Amy was her father's housekeeper, too; her mother died, just after you left home, I guess. You see tho young girl had flushed enough to fry. For all, she always had a spare hour and some nicknnck bf her needle work for us sailor-boys when about hav ing homo. And tho old general would say, 'Luck to yon, my lad,' in a mighty good manner that won us. "But I never could see that she favor ed one much above another, Once I had bidden her gcod-by. I remember, and afterward'seeing Ben Roltropo call at her bouse, I stood out of sight and timed him?you laugh?watch in baud, and I had the better of him some odd minutes, or it may have been seconds, Go and sec her, Iiul._ But where am tuning? Lets tack .hip. "You know the AVoodson homestead' on the corner of Indi.i Street. Yos,i?tnrt! you don't know?as wo young fellows never think of sucn thiugs?that the grand-looking place had.: becn-.jin.the Woodson family for some generations, and that the gensnA^ father left it to him ciicumbcrcd.

He gathered ,the little he could together. lie bow his salary reg ularly, and let his ;iHmsehold bills run. Ho sold wrvhgfullfil few bank shares that he held in trusj tor Amy, which an uncle had willed to 1 cr, and invested the money in the goldcpTund, secretly, in the name of a brotht^in Ohio.

He chalked on the garden-eate, 'Warniu', pay up, ol' boss,' aud chuckled to him self around the corner, as he peeped and saw Betty Floyd, the old domestic, spend many minutes spelling out, and many more in scouring off the words, and shaking her cloth at the empty street. Thrift had abandoned the louse bold. "Amy knew but little of the truth. He said ho had only the amount of two or three quarters' salary in the lamented j laud slide.

"Well, well, forward !" "Where was I ? This went on a while tho old man keeping the ship on the old tack, close hauled, flag at tue peak, and pumps n-going.
