WHAT A PRETTY LITTLE HAND.
T nm not a bashful man. Generally
peaking, I am fully as confident and torward
H8 most of my sex. I d reus wuH,
( dance well, t>ing tolerably; I don't tread on
ladies dresses, when I mako my bow ; and
I have not the trick of coloring to the roots
of my hair when I nm spoken to. Yet,
thoro was one period of my life when nil merits
seemed to my own oyc* insignificant, and I
felt very modest, not to say bashful. It was
when I was in lovd. Then, I sometimes did not
know where to put mv hands mid feet. Did
I mention that in the said hands and feet
consists my greatest beauty ? They .ire
both small.
Three years ago, 1 fell in love. I did
not walk into it quietly, weighing mv idol's
perfections against her defects. I fell in,
bead and ears, two seconds after the introduction.
"Mr. Ilaynes, Miss Arnold," said a mutual
friend, and lo! I was desperately in love.
Sh'o was a little fairy figure, with long brown
curls floating over a snowy neck and shoulders,
and falling down on the waist of an
onchanting sky-blue dress. Her large, dark
blue eyes were full of saucy light, yet, oh !

(This I found out later.)
Of nil the provoking, tantalizing little
coquettes, that ever teased the heart out of
a poor man, Susy Arnold was llio most
bewitching. I would pass an evening with
ber, and go homo certain that one
more interview would make me the happiest
of iuv-im t??i ?l>" ?i>'vt time T met her. a

Not a word did she drop to tnako me believo

ing defiance. She declared her intention
to bo an old inaid emphatically, and in the
next sentence would add, "I never did love,
but I should take a fancy to anybody. I
hbould love bin) like ? like a house a fire.
Though," 6he would say, carelessly, '"I never
saw anybody yet worth settling my thoughts
upon."
I tried in a thousand ways to make her
betray some interest in myself. Propose
outright I could not. She had a way whenever
I triad it, of looking in my faco with
nn air o?grave attention, of profound interests,
that was equivalent in its effect to
knocking mo down ; it took all the breath
out of me.
"One evening, while there, I was seized
with a violent headache. I told hor I was
subject to sucb attacks, and (ho gippy, putting
on a gravo face, gave ma a lecture on
the subject of health winding up with,?
"Tho best thing you can do is to get a
wife to take care of you, and to keep yon

"Indeed," I Baid, rather piqued, "there
ar? only too many. I refrain from a selection
for fear of breaking other hearts. JJow

conceitedly, "though I can't sec that I am
particularly fascinating."
Neither can I," taid Susy, with an air of
perfect simplicity.

among my Curls. I felt the thrill of her fingers
gave me, all tho way to the toes of my
boots. My head being really!,very painful,
I was obliged to leave; but, aTl tho way
home, the soft, cool touch of these little
fingers lingered upon my brow.
Soon after this, it becanio necessary for
me to leave the city on business. An offer
of a lucrative partnership in the South in
the office of a lawyer friend of mine, made
me decide to extend my trip, and Bee how

years, without soma answer from Susy.
Dressed in iny roost faultless costume, and
full of hope, I went to Mr. Arnold's. Susy
was in the parlor, at the piano, alone. She
nodded gayly, as I came in ; btit continued
her song. It was, "I've something sweet
to tell'you."
"At those words, "I love you ! I adore '
jou!" she gave me such a glance. I was
rte&dy to prostrate myself; but, sweeping
back the onrls with laughing defiance, she
warbled, "But I'm talking in iny sleep."
"Then," I cried, "you love me when you
sleep! May I think so?"
"Ob I' yes-, if you choose; for Kory O'More

Tho Rothschilds.
The season was September, 1797. Tlio
Landgrave of IIcsso (Jasael saw the French
revolutionary army approaching his dmninions,
nr.J waving at his very frontiers. Ilaiht- j
ly lie packed up his jewels and valuables, )
together with between two and linen mil- J
lions of thalers, and took the way lo the |
, ancient city of Frankfort, hoping to fi.id j
I means of platting his wealth and the jewels !
j of his house in security.
i Arrived at the city which had, for con- |
| lurie-s sent forth the rulers of the 'holy K<>:
man Empire,' the lugitive Lniidgrave kuock|
ed at tho door of an humble Je\vi.?h banker,
| Meyer Rothschilds, richer in children than
in thalers, but withal a distinguished and
experienced aicli0C'W?>jjisl and iiumismalologist.
The sovereign, who himself was an expert
in the fcieticef, paid touch respect to
the knowledge of the Jew hanker, and had
, actually, a few years before, bestowed upon
i liiin the distinction of the title of 'Med
' ailleur' to tlie court.
'Meyer,' lie began, as lie handed him his
well tilled case, "1 know you to be. holiest
and conscientious. Here is all 1 possess;
take it, and return it to me when this tern:
pest shall have blown over, and when bet
; ter times draw upon us.'
I "Such vast confidence does 1110 great
honor,' leplicdlhc Hebrew, 'but your lliyhnefcs
must not forget that the republican
ill my is almost before our doors.'
'We are in the hands of providence,' re- ;
plied the Landgrave. M ask lor no receipt.' 1
The l'rinee re-entered his vehicle and j
hurried oil", without listening to t lie renewed j
protestations of the man of business,
j What Meyer Kolhtcliild had anticipated,
| duly come to pass. Before a week was
j over, Frankfort was in I he possession of the
Flench troop's, and the banker, who had
: been denounced as an uiiti-ivvolutionisl, and
! an ally of the tyrants, found hi- doinic.il
I sacked, and his cash-box plundered ill the
name of liberty and the people.

Tlie Piiuce was deeply moved.
[ 'Meyer,' he said, 'you are the most honorable
Jew I h ive ever heard of. Keep
my money and continue to operate with it.
From this to-day for two years I want no
return of it, and only two per cent interest.'
And thus lioUischild became a millionaire.
Old Meyer died in 1812. TJofore lie
died lie li;id his five sons, Anselrn, Solomon,
Nathan, Charles and James called to his
bedside. They received his blessing, and
swore to bini to be true to the taw of Moses,
never to separate from each other, and nover

their mother.
'Observe well these points, and you will
soon be the richest among tbo rich, and the
world will belong to you.'
The old Hebrew proved a prophet. A
financial Peutarchy was founded at his
grave, and soon erected its thrones in the
five principal cities of Europe. Frankfort,
Vienna, Naples, London and Paris.
IIow to Manure Trees.?Very few
persons manure trees growing in sod or grass
land, a judicious or economical manner.
The general practice is to dig the manure
in, within a diameter of nix feet, having the
body for the centre. The tree takes its
foo<J from the young rootlets, whose mouths
extend just as far on every side, as the
branches of the trues; hence, this manure
applied clo*e to the body of the tree, is not
where the roots take it up; and, of course,
but little of its value is absorbed by the tree.
If you doubt it. just try the experiment on
two tre^s. Serve the one as above named,
and the other as followers, viz: Make a
circle around the having, for its outline the
exitct radius formed by the overhanging
branches; dig on the inner side of this cir- 1
cle a trenfclf two feet wide, and one foot. '
deep; mix well rotted manure half and half
with the best of the soil, or earth dug out <
of the trench, and fillthe trench with|ii; then
replace the turf, and wheel away the re
iuse, or extra earth; rake dean and smooth;
you will have a g<tod growth of trees; your 1
fruit largo and. inore fair, and no uprightly i
or unnatural hillock or mpund around the
Ixidy of the tree,..

At tin' moment when the Cashier is a- j

absorbs his deposit, and leaves hint with

Mr. Kight ami Mr. Wing 11ail exchanged
cheeks, each trusting to make liis account

both banks by the vigilance of the Paying
Teller.
If the teller, instead of returning Mr.

would now have Mr. Wing's dishonored
c'leek on bis bands, without anv means of
sjeuring its payment; and it might bo a to

The quarter of an hour given to this tedious
explanation is not entirely thown away,
since it affords the Cashier a reason for
closing Mr. Kight's account, and thus getling
