The owner in fee simple of many broad and fertile acres of available land, and the proud parent of a very promising son, now near grown, who in his infancy bad been des ignated by the not altogether unheard of name of John. Now John Jansen has been brought up in a very careful and proper manner, and it was therefore not to be wondered at that, as be grew more maturcd,tbnt he was regarded ns a very exemplary young man by those who knew dim intimately. He was sober and industrious in bis habit.1), cultivated and refined in his tastes, with disposition to get along and prosper in tho world, as his father had done before him. But the time came when he was one and twenty. This'Is a remui kiibte epi sode iti the lives of most, young men, when iully Ireed from parental restraint by tho construction of the law) they thinkXhey know so ninth, and subsequently learn that they know so little. Now possibly Peter the pore regarded this event in his son's life with as great concern as did John the junior, for cer tain it is, that shortly thereafter be sum moned the young man iuto his presence for a little private conversation. "Well, John," be said, "how does it seem to be one and twenty?" "Seem ! why I can't see as it seems any different from any other time." "Can':, cli? O, well you'll sec quick enough, I guess. I suppose the next thing you'll lie thinking pf w.il] begetting mar ried." 1 hadn't thought of such a thing yet in earnest." "Hadn't, eh? well, you'd better be thinking; getting married is about ns im portant a thing as'll ever happen to you.' "Yes, I suppose so." "Supposeso? suppose so? you'll know so by and by. Well, John, you're old enough to begin to think seriously about tltis matter. I ain't going to have you running around unsettled and unsteady in your habits Und character. Now, the quicker you pick you out a wife and set tle down, the better. Mind you, my boy, this wasting three or four of the best years of your life in sowing your wild oats, i.i a very foolish principle for young men to adhere to. Now, I don't propose to have you do anything of the kind, and if you avoid it you won't have a harvest of briars and thistles to gather in after wards. Now just as soon as you will pick you out a good, prudent, and industri ous little wife, I've u good farm to give you, and enough to set you up iu reason able stylo, you understand!" "Yes", sir." "But not an acre nor a penny of mine shall you possess until you have complied with my wisher." I "But, father?" "I mean what I say, .exactly, and no more; make this matter your first business and when you have performed your: part of the contract, I will attend to mine," "But this is rather sudden." "That makes no difference, if you arc not satisfied with my terms, the world is witle enough for both of us, you are big enough to earn your own living; if you can do better by yourself than I can do by you, why, start right out in tho world, for you nre of age. I have stated my terms, and I do not propose to alter them." "BuUvho.shall I ma^rryr ; "There's Isrenl Iv'es's nVe 'daughters, nnd Tin certain you can.have'j'yttur plcitM out of1 the lot.

"f | a With these c ncluding remarks, the fond father turned away, and John was left fir-lone to his reflections. Now John Jansen was not a verdant youeg man; he hod seen considerable of the^-world for a person of his age and circumstances, but ho was very diffident nnd bashful, it was this quality of his disposition (bat made him bo adverse to ladies' society, and had occasioned no little anxiety to old Peter, who had al ready began to fear that Johu would be a confirmed bachelor, hence his desire to kimlly assist John's matrimonial matters For some moments after his fathci's exit, John sat profoundly thinking; he believed ha did have an inexpressible sort of tenderness for the youngest daugh t< r of Israel I%es. If not strictly beauti ful, she was at least a very feasible girl,' and would make a practical housekeeper: John bad hut little sentiment in his composition; his tastes were mere matter of fact. The mote John thought of mat* ifcnnrry, the mow .fixed became his detcr nation of committing himself as soon as possible. night or twu subsequent to the cou-l vdrsation with his father, it was noticed that he attired himself with unusual care befoie going out, as he insisted to attend the "debating society." His lather and mother regarded each other significantly, as if they well understo id what was upper most in John's mind, but they gavo the young man no intimation that they sus picioncd his intentions. After a last lingering look at the look ing-gl?ss, John started forth into the dark I1C83, taking the shortest road possible to tlie residence of Israel Ivcs. lie soon came to the place he intended visiting. A. bright light gleamed out through the front windows, with welcom ing beams, nnd he fancied he could see smiling faces there, yet his heart thumped eo very singularly under his shining satin vefct that it was several minutes before he cou'd make up his mind to knock at the door; he walked up and down the road past the place several times, to calm himself, and to think over the words he proposed saying when in the presence ol Miss Ives. At last he turned in at the gate, and walking boldly to tho front door, he made his presence suddenly known to the Ivcs family, by mean's of the friendly assis tance of tho heavy brass knocker. Israel Ives came to {ho door, with a flaring candle in bis hand; he gavo a sud den little start of surprise upon recogniz ing his visitor. "Why! John," he said, "is this you ?" "Is Miss Ives at home?" said John, nervously, forgetting in his sudden em barrassment to designato tho particular Miss Ives he wished to soo. "Certainly, certainly," replied Israel, .smiling mischievously, "walk right into the parlor and .sit down and she will come in presently." Leaving his hat upon tho rack in the hall, John did us he was bid; he sat down upon the outer edge of tho chair and awaited tho young lady's coming. He heard several suppressed giggles in the adjoining room, and n subdued suggestion upon the part of Israel that they had best not to act silly and foolish. Then tho door opened, and in sailed Miss So. phrony Ivcs, followed by Patience, Pris cilia, Malvina and Lucy Ivcs, each simultaneously smiling and trying to look as sweet and protty as possible They advanced one by ono and gave John a greeting, after which they arranged them selves in a graceful group about him; then began tho liveliest conversation ?ff? til ? l-ifl?! him, oi? said ( V!??fl John hud evor listened to. He^ began to grow uneasy and to lose his self- possesion. ?This vftuVrather niore Misslives' tluin'tfe! hadautfaip&fed mfeetidg:'! ^-wij At last a sudden idea occurred to u{ ^ir^;Khpl?aid,,:t^R,arjy,9f?you VjW* ^iMiu^louHytJ a lol Sui Tim young^ladie^.atl ^uucjenly gled. 1,1 ^Sornctimes," said 'Mies SoVn&ny^w'fWf a sly'gldn'ce at^ner^stef?rUt'v7'jily "Siiypljse-^e'-^&ve 'a'ghW 'ifliHn?

"BujJ,you must be blinded too, Lucy/' said M}ss -Malvina, "it always makes it livelier to have two, you knotv." ' ftin So Miss Lucy's sight was temporarily obscured in the same manner that John's had been. 1 *' Then 'the word "ready*' wa3 gU;en, and without a word of Warning Sophrony, Patieribe, Priscilla and Malvina noise lessly glided from the room. For awhile John and Lucy groped in nocently about them, each failing to find the objects they sought; at. last John spoke: "I say, where arc you all?" he said helplessly. No answer came to his question from those ho was seeking. "John," said Lucy, "I .believe they're allhiding." Just at that moment the two approach ed each other with thefr hand extended'' and they were each suddenly clasjKKbin each othcr'? arms. Tlii? was a serisatiop so new to John that it' almost deprived ihim of articulation. "O; it is you, John ?!l said Lucy. "I do ?believe they're fooling us.'.' : Shu 'tmtldouly romnved the bandage from her eyes, and the next moment John felt her deft little fingers untying the knot in the handkerchief thai was j bound about his Head. "Look a hciCj John," she said in a half provoked sort of a way, just sec what a trick they've played upon us. I might have known what they were up to. Never mitid, wc'll havc a real pleasant visit now." They sat down side by side on tho high backed sofa, and Lucy talked so pleas nntly and cncouiagingly to John that he soon felt perfectly at home. F"e was al most astonished at his self possession. The minutes lenghthened into hburs,and, well, he'never could fully explain how it was afterwards, the fact was that Lucy promised him that she would bo Mrs. John Jansen whenever he was ready to claim her as his own, and John went home that night very proud and happy, and on the following morning ho inform ed his astonished father that any time that farm was ready ho would be ready to go to house keeping. Peter Janscb kept his word, and John was often subsequently heard to say that if it hadn't becn for that friendly game of blind man's bull'heI <would, hardly have known how to havo ihndo a choieo. A Lawyer's Advice. An Irishman, by tho name of Tom Murphy, once borrowed a sum of money from ono of? his neighbors, which he promised to pay iu'h certain time. 'But month aft' r month passed by, and no signs of thh agreement being kept, lib creditor at last warned him that if he did not pay it on a certain day lie shoud sue him for it and recover by law. This rath cr frightened Tom, and he being able to raise the money, went to a lawyer to get advice on the matter. After hearing Tom's story through to the cud, ho asked him: "Has your neighbor any writing to show that you owe him this fifty dol lars?" "Divil a word," replied Tom quickly. "Well, thon, if you hnvd nut the money you can tako your time; at all events, he cannot collect it by law." "Thank yer honor, much obliged," said Tom, rising and going towards the door. "Hold oh, my frieud," feaid the lawyer. ' IPhi for?" asked Tom, in astonish merit. "You owe mo two dollars." "Fat tor?" "Why, forjtty'u?\*ttrj7W^ Do iii evident perplexity,lbr'thpJradiso mon ey.
