Maurice Cameron was tbe only son of UaiiLvame!O0,meaof thencfacal and moat influential men in tbe busy torn n of Nelson lie bad received a liberal education, and hi father, who accumulated acajth only fur bim, looked to see him lake bis place among the leading men of the btate. Cautious, prrsrTeting, obstinate, be bad marked out a certain course for bis band- eome, talented Iraj, and determined that be must carry it out, forgetting that tbe bob usually inherits si oat, if not all, of his stronger parent's characteristics. Mr. Cameron, too, waa proud; proud of hi good Scotch descent, of bis abilities and Disposition in aocicty; and the idea of Maurice takiog as a wife this daughter of a small, unknown farmer was bitterness indeed. Is it true be knew nothing what ever of the girl, but that made no diuer enee; be had made up hid mind that Man nee snnst marry into either the ieltoo, Hillard or Stuyvraant families, therefore this nnkeanl of Sophie Litchfield was an interloper. Mrs. Cameron worshipped both hus band and aon, conaeijaently this dies greement ripening, at it did, into an open rupture betaoen the two coat ber many a tear; but against two such stub bom natures she was power ft. The Litchfields were, at Mr. Caaeroa bad said, poor; but they were cultivated, honest, sensible people. Sophie was tbe second daughter and wu as pretty, well- read, graceful a girl as any Cameron erer wooeu, ana would do honor to any po sition in life. Mr. Litchfield talked ae- riously with Maurice when he heard of the quarrel between him and hit father, and finding that he was determined to pursue bis own course, told him that a little adrersity, a little genuioe work would probably make a man of him. and that be would gire bim Sophie more wiinngiy now man erer. So Lt&rfl Cam eron was a false prophet. Maurice left home, bag and baggage, the day of the conversation altore re corded. II is father felt Terr curions to know what be would do, but would not condescend to snake any inquiries or show any interest. A fortnight passed. Mr. and Mrs Caseroa were dining with the Feltocs(s, quiet family dinner) one day, when there was a Tery fine It of mutton on the table. 'Yes, thank jou, Felton, I will take another slice," aaid Mr. Cameron; "that la the best mutton IVe tasted this long lime, far belUr than Brooks girea us you trade with Brooks, don't jou!" -Ye-es, usually," answered Mr. Felton, beaitatingly, while Lottie and ber mother exchanged amused glaucea and twelro-jear-old Sutie giggled outright. -I shall go to Brooks to-morrow and tell bim to cnd rrc just such a leg as thii," continued Mr. Cameron. "We we didn't get this of Brooks." -Not Who, then t" -Of a joung man who hit re-opened Etbus' old place," said Mr. Felton, imil- -Then I'll patronize him." -You could do no better; be is a rcry worthy young man," aaid Mrs. Felton; ber husband was too busy earring to re plj. -What is bis name! Ia bo a towns man!" -I I didn't ak bim. Is it true that Latimer has failed!" aaid Mr. Felton. -ThcM good friends eTidentlr don't want me to deal with their butcher, but I will," soliloquized Basil Cameron. On bis waj down town the next morn ing be took pains to pass the new batcher's shop; glancing orer the door way (fancy his horror!) be saw a spick-and-span new sign-board with "Maurice Basil Cameron, Jr.; Batcher, Poslterer and Fishmonger,"plainly painted tbcreoo. Young Cameron bad indeed gone to work; this was tbe firtt, indeed tbe only opening that presented itself, for Nelson was a steady-going town where besineas rarelj failed or started up Tery Tigoruntly, and chances of establishing one's self did not occur twice in a life-time. Maurice was standing near tbe door wbca bis father approached; with hit im maculate apron and soowj sbirt-slceres, gluasy collar aod narrow black neck-tie he was a handsome picture in spile of his Tery nnromantic sarroundingt. -Good morninz. father." slid be. cheer- full r.

Maurice Baail Cameron, Jr." I think that -Junior" was the bitterest drop in tbe wboSe cop of tbe old man; I realty beiiere that, for a soesent, be re pented naming bis son after himself. Too angry, too much aatonubed to know what to aaj, he tare ad on bis beet and walked away, bat be could not escape tbe aatraory of that awful sign-board; three limes that week delicat straw-celored band-bills were threat under bis ejes by toys who were diatrlbotiog then through the town, and all bore lbs tame legend; erery time be picked up a newspaper be aaw Maurice's adrertiaement; all of his acquaintances ware laughing erer Mau rice's freak (as be called ltj, and not a few men applaeded the young man and blamed him. It waa a genuine agony. men, too, tie loreu the boy aad misted bit bright face from the borne that was ao quiet without bias; be knew bis wife rauuroeU deeply orer tbe separation anal strongly suspected that abe rutted the ob- noxtoua abop every day; be did not want to hurt ber fcalingt. so be neter asked ber where she bought their meat and poultry. Aad as the new botcher wu doing a thririog trade there wu no hope of his seeing for mercy or for belp. Three months pasaed and a dsr came that for twenty-eight years Mr. and Mrs. Cameron bad held u a home feitiral their welding aanlrertary. Tie night before it dawned Baail Cameron knew that bis wife bad cried nearly all night. How could the keep a fettirel without ber boy! -Oh, dear!" he groaned u be left tbe hooe alter breakfast, -I matt do it. Tbe baj is stabborn at I am; and I can't se bis mother fret. He shall hare bit coun try girl confound ber! jnsl as be had Uio Hammer and the looking-glut when be wu a baby.' Kkbanl, tbe coachman, almost fancied himself crazed when his muter told htm to drire out on tbe Barton road to Farmer Litchfield's instead of down to the bank ai otoal early in tbe morning. -Does Miss Sophie Litchfield lire here!" beuked of a pretty little girl who was Just coming out the front door of tbe bouse pointed oat to bim as Litchfield's. -ses, sir; please walk in; she d here in the parlor." Instead of a slipshod, blowsy girl, Mr. Cameron found Sophie to be a Tery at- tracttre young lady; quite as pleatant as Lottie Felton. His rial t wu far longer than be intended, for be ended by going all orer tbe farm with tbe father while the daughter was making a few changes in her dross preparatory to spending the aaj wiui tier loture raotbcr-in-law. Mrs. Cameron had smiles instead of tears that day, for she not only bad her boy st borne again, but discovered that Sophie wu just exactly tbe sort of a girl she hail always pictured to herself at Maurice's wife. -I could not bare cboaen belter myself." was her verdict. Maarice stack to itis determination to go into basinee instead of playing tbe fine gentleman all bit life, but readily agreed to hit father's nrcrxxitinn to buy bim an interest in tbe only wholesale dry goods honse in tbe town, saying that be certainly preferred that to hit former oc cupation, -but then I was poor, and beg gars must not be choosers, jou know."'

HtmbliB, after dressing, repaired to tbe green-nom, aad baring a bad cold which somewhat impaired bis speech, aaked Flyna waat be could do for it. Tom. who never ul bit chance for a joke, let it bit where it woald, said. Use my remedy." -What's that!" atked Hamblia. "Why. ret some vinegar in a tea-cup, put some sanffin it, mix tbe two together, pour it into jeer band, aad in hale it through jour nose." Haablin, not thinking of the consequences, took a taScienl qaeatitj ta produce a fit of sneezing, which be found very difficult Ij overcome. After gHgjoa tbe stage, be tainted the asdiewoe with a saerze, and struggled hard ta smother the ef fects of the snuff, but atiaout avail. Ue began: "Wht It that jou would (aeetzej impart to me! If it be aeght toward tbe general good (d the snarl) ret honor in ooe eve (sneeze) and death in tbe other; and I wilt loik Oaeeze) on both indifferently. Fr let the gods to speed me u I tore (tneez) tbe name of (snetz?) honor more than I fear death (curse that Fljnn)." All his efforts t check tbe ef fects of PI jnn's remedj, which pr-ived worse than the diseaae, were unavailing. The sneezing became coatsgioas with tbe Bowery boys, for immediately xfter ooe of Brutut's convulsion, an immense sneeze would echo from tbe audience. Flyna ut in tbe boxes enjoying IImb lin's discomfort. What rendered the af fair more ludicroas was that Hamblin several times attempted to sneeze, but, failing, the audience did it for bim. and then, when thej expected the actor would remain quict,he woald give another sneeze, which would cause the whole bouse to roar with laughter, thns converting the tragedy into a laughable farce. After tbe plaj, Hamblia rushed into the green room, and said to Fljnn, "What in the name of Heaven did joa ad rife me to take that infernal mess fori" Tom, standing before the grate with bis bands under bis coat-tails, replied with the ub raoit coolness, "Whj, it alwajs cures me of a cold in the head, Mr,. Hamblin, when I take it," and u the sneezing Brutus left tbe green-room, Fljnn turned to Booth, who hail been standing in ooe corner of the room enjojing tbe joke, and said -Why? Juntas, my boy, I never thought before that your perform ance ot Cistias was b be sneezed at." Oxen FaiectU, t fie Era Almanac. Not Qcitk Dead. An old Union soldier tcj Is this story of a mute's lut kick: In the flrstlirision, second corps, we hal a mule noted for bis wonderful kicking powers.
