After a lew years of success i;j llie pursuits to which ho had devoted hiinsoif, misfortune came thick and fast upon him. lie ionc.d himself left with scarcely r.r.v property, and alone in the world, s:;ve Lis only two daughter.?. " As year j.i'ter year passed away, he grew btf-anily in the contidencc of his employer who felt, though he said it not, that in him ho p-v-.H'sse<j a treasure. Vc ry little indeed was said by either of tl.c 1.1, not connected with the routine of bnshsc-??. and there had been no intercourse whatever between them, save in the countrig room. Thus six years worthy, towards the c'o-o of which period old Mr. Bremen wfss found looking with much frequency fi:.d cai tiOitness at the young woman before him ; something was evidently brewing in that old head. What could it be ? And thftn, too, he looked so curiously. The Irish servant was puzzled. "Sure," said James, "something is coming." Annie, loo, was fiomewhat perplexed, for those i.-.r.t-c ,w.w i ? "What is it father ?" she said to him cue morning at the breakfast table, ns he s:.t gazing steadfastly in her face ; "do tell me." "I wish you'd have him !" burst foilhlike an avalanche. "Know him for six years?true as a ledger?a gentleman .?real senub'e man?don't talk much?lobular as clock work?prime for business? worth his weight in gold." "Ilavo who, father ? Wbat are you talking about !" "My head clerk, Copcland?you don't know liim?I do?haven't seen anybody else wortti n quill." Annie was puzzled. She hingbed, however, and said? ''Marry my father's clerk ! what would people say i" "liymbug, child, all humbug?worth foily of your whiskered, lounging, lazy gentry ; sny ? what they please : what do I caro 1 what do you care ? what's money, After all ? got enough of it?want a sensible man?want some body to take care of it, all humbug." -"What's nil humbug, father f" "Why peopled notions ou tbeso matters :? ? ? t vujn;jiuiu 10 j'uwi o\j ntta i UI1UU may be ngaiu?world's full of changes?seen a great roany of them in my day?cnn't stay here long?rgot to leave you Annie?wish you would like him." ' ''Father, aie you serious ?* "Serious, child !" aud he looked so. Annie was a chip of the old block : a BtroDg-ininded, resolute girl. A new idea seemed to strike her. ?J^Father,if you are really aerioua in the matter, PJI sea thw Copeland ; I'll get acquauiletl witb him. If be likes me, and I lilto him, I'll have bim. But be shall love me for. myselfalone ; I must know it. Will y<HKldive the matter to me ?" "Go ahead, my child and do as yon like. jpwtfriijifc." \v jjSitfp a moment, father,, I bbail . tty&t xny namo n little{ I sball appeaf to be a : ; i>S,V poor girl, a companion of our fiiend Mrs. f Richards, in II? street. She shall i know the whole affair ; you shall call me r by my middle name, Pay ton ; I shall bo a . relative of yours ; who shall suggest the business to Mr. Copeland, as you call him, f and arrange for the first interview. The , rest will take care ofitself." i "1 see, I see," and one of those rare smiles illuminated his whole face. It aci tually got between hia lips, parted them i a sunder, glanced upon a set of teeth but little the worse for Wear, and was resting , there, when he left thu house for his count! ing loom. The twilight of that smile had not yet gone when he reached the well known spot, and bowed and looked "good morning" to those in his employ, for old Psilll tviiu ofl/i* I.:. ? ?"!' ? man On the morning of that day what looks were directed to our friend Charles, so many so peculiar, so full of something, that the head clerk could not but notice them, and that, too, with some alarm. What was coming 1 At length the volcano burst forth. / ? 1 1 i r ii i i ?. i v_ujm:iiiihi, my goou leliow, wiiy UOll't you get a wife ?" Had a thunderbolt fallen at his feet he could uot have been more astounded. Did Mr. Bremen say that, and in the counting room too ? The very ledger seemed to blush at the introduction of such a subject. lie tor the first time made a blot on the fair page before him. 4*1 say?why don't you get a wife ?? know just the thing for you?prime article poor enough to bo sure?what of that?a fortune iu a wife, you know?a sort of a rc lation of mine?don't want to meddle with j other people's affairs, know our own busi- ; ness beat?can't help thinking you'll be happier?must sec her." Now the fact is, that Charles had for some time past thought so himself; but how the old inan should have divined his feelings was ! Juno u lu nun. in me course 01 the ' day a Dole w;ts put iulo Mr. liremen's hands ; l>y James, liis Irish servant, the contents of i which produced another grim smilo. Wiit'i i tlie moment for his return home arrived, Mi. 1>. handed a sealed document of rather imposing form to Charles,saying : "Uopeland, you'll oblige me by leaving that at No. G7 11 street. 1'lacc it in the hands of the person to whom it is directed ; don't want to trust it to any one else." | 'llieclerk saw 011 the outside, Mrs. Ilich- j 'Aids, No. 07 11 street. The door bell \v:is rung. Tlio servant ushered Copeland into a small, neat parlor where sat a ! lady apparently twenty-five or thirty years j of age, plainly dressed, engaged in knitting 1 a stocking. Our friend bowed, and cn<juirj ed for Mrs. Richards. i ".She is not in, but is expected presently ; will yon be seated There was an ease ; and quietness, and an air of self-coininaud ; about this person which seemed peculiar to ' Copt-laud, lie felt at case, (you always do with such people,) made some commonplace j lviuark which was immediately responded j to; then another; and soon the eonversa' lion grew so interesting that Mrs. llichards j was nearly forgotton. ller absence was ; strangely protracted, but at length she made ! her appearance. The document was presented ; a glance at the outside. "Mr. Copcland ?" Charles bowed. "Miss Peyton." The young lady bowed, | and thus they were introduced. There was j no particular reason for remaining any long- j er, and our friend took his departure. That night Annie said to Mr. 13., "I like his appearance, father." Forward ; march!" said old Paul, and I he looked at his daughter with vast satisfacj tion. i "The ould man's sis swate to-night as a new poratee," said James to the cook. The next day Charles Copeland came very near writing several times, "Miss. Pey- | ton Dr," as he was making out some bills of j ...wi:.... -ii I1IVIV/1KIIIUI3U tUJU. "Delivered tho paper last evening 2" Copeland bowed. "Mrs. iiichards is an old friend?humble in circumstances the young lady, Peyton? | worth her weight in gold any day?have : ! her myself it*I could." i I * * * * 1: * * , ! "llow much you remind me of Mr. 15.," i .said Charles one evening to Annie; 4'I I j think you said you were a relation of his?" ? I "I am a relative of his through inv moth- 1 er," was the grave reply. < Mrs. Richards turned away to conceal a ] smile, j Somewhat later than usual on that day i Annie reached her father's house. There I was no mistaking the expression of her countenance. Happiness was written there. I "1 see, I see," said the old man ; "theac- i count is closed, books balanced, have it all ; through now in short time. You are a sen- ; siblc girl?no foolish puss?-just what I want i ?bless you, child, bless you." I The next day Paul came, for almost the i first time in his life, rather late to his count- i ing room. Casks and boxes seemed to be starting with wonder. ' Copeland, you are a fine fellow?heard I from Mrs llichards?proposal to my relation, I Peyton?all right?done up well. Come i to my house this cveuing?never been there I ! yet before, eh 7?eight o'clock precisely? | j want to see you?got something to say." i "IIow much interest ho seems to take in iins matter," said Charles, "lie's a kiud old 1 fellow in his way ; a little rough, but good at heart." Yes, Mr. Copeland, even kinder than you i think for. At eight o'clock precisely the door bell I of Mr. Bremen's mansion jrung. Mr. Charles i Copeland was ushered in by friend James. ; Old Paul took him kindly by the hand, and ] turning round abruptly, introduced him to -fliy daughter, Miss Annie Peyton Bremen," and immediately withdrew. ] "Charles, will you forgive me this?" IIo < was too much astonished to make any reply. < "If you only knew all my feelings aud mo- ? tives, I am sure you would." I That the motives and feelings were soon explained to bis entire satisfaction, no one i will doubt. 1 "Copeland, my dear fellow," shouted old i Paul, as he entered the room, "no use of a 1 long engagement." "Oh, father!" 1 "No use, I say; married now?get ready < afterwards, next Monday evening, who cares? Want it over, fuel settled.

The following circumstauces happened in Cedar Co., Iowa : A certain young man beiner out on a courting expedition came lato on Sunday evening, and in order to keep his secret from his young acquaintances, detei mined to be at homo bright and early on Monday morning. Mounted on his horse,dressed in his fino white summer pants, and other fixins in propolion, he arrives at the residence of inamorata where ho was kindly received a:iu ms iiorsfi, properly taken care of, being turned into the pasture for the night. The night passed aivay, anil three o'clock in the morning arrived. Three o'clock was tl?e time for him to depart, so that he might arrive at home before his comrades were stirring, lie sallied forth to the pasture to catch his horse ; but here was a ditliculty ?grass high and loaded with dew. To venture in with white pantaloons on would rather take out the starch and lead to his detection. It would not do to go in with his white unmentionable*, so lie quickly made his resolve, llccarfully disrobed himself of his valuable"whites" and placed them in safely on the fence while he gave chase with ll!ISclVr>IIPil !1..|blU tlir.Ml.rli tlif. grass after tlio horse.

What a pickle this was for a nice young man to be in ! It was now near daylight and the farmers were up and about, and our hero far from home, with no covering for his "traveling apparatus." It would not do to go back to the house of his lady love, either could he go to towu in . that plight. Th< re was only one resconrce left him. and that was to secrete himself in i the Ludies until the next night and then j get home under cover of the darkness. Safely hid, he remained under the pro- I lection of the bushes for some time, and it J | may bo imagined that his feelings towards .i. > -.-!?

By and bv, j , the boys, who had been out to feed the I | calves, returned with the remnants of tlie ! , identical white garment which adorned llie ! | lower limbs of their late visitor. They were j ] mangled and torn to shreds! An impie^t j | was immediately held over them. Some ' ( awful fate had befallen the unfortunate j young man. The neighbors were summon- i t ed lo search for the mangled corpse, and . the posse with all speed set out with dogs . and arms. The pasture was thoroughly courted, Jand tlien tiie adjacent thickets, when lo ! our hero was driven out from his lair by the keen scent of the doers all safe. . alive and well, minus the fiitcu. , Ail explanation then ensued ?t the ex- | pense of our hero, hut he was successful in , tiio cud, and married the lady, and is now ( living comfortably in one of the flourishing j little towns of Iowa. ? -? , Read the Newspapers.-?An exchange t says: ''Show us a boy or girl who has been i dlowed the rending of a newspaper, especi- i illy al their home, and we will show you I more intelligence in that boy or girl, at r twelve years of age, than others have at <. lighteen.
