Some year:? ago, when I wa-i a ramblur
through the streets of Ciuein:iati, for
tha purpo-c of picking up trifles to inter
est the roa Ibrs of the local c duniu of a
city paper, I often purchased apples, nut-j,
and candies of a j-oung girl who had a
stand near th junction of two business
avenues.
'She was not handsome in the common
acceptation of this much-abused work but
there was an artlesness and yet a win-
ness for any other purpose than to reward
it with full explanations."
She looked at me a moment as if ques
tioning my apparent honesty, and then
said pleasantly :
''Will, a-s yoa have been so good a pa
trou of my apple stand, and yvu takj so
much pains to know the romauee of my
history, if you will promise seetesy, I will
tell you."
"I'll accept any condition that I can
fulfill," I answered eagerly.
'Walk with me into the garJon, then,"
said th.r cirl. " '
Yc had a pleasant seat under a rustic
arbor, when the lady remarked :
iifng grace iu her msnucV which convict
ed me that.lier situation in life; should be
above, the one she tlreu occupied. IK-r
dress'was invariably a close fitting pink
calico ore. I felt that her parents must
be very poor, and as I siw her day after I
day iu the same attire, I had my suspie-1
ions that her wardrobe could not be very
extensive; yet j as-she always appeared
neat and tidy, it was a mystery to me
how this striking neatness was secured,
and why there w s not ever any variety
iu her apparel. I saw that it was taste
ful and becoming, bat I knew that the
ladies are proverbial for a love of variety
iu dress, audi had an iuterest in knowing
why this simple girl was .so remarkable an
exception.
I have always delighted to study char
acter either Iu " high or low life, and I
took it upon me to investigate the pretty
npple girl's peculiarity. Her fruit was
ever clem and tempting, but I oftenjnade
purchases niercfy for the sakeof forming
ao acquaintance. At length known to
her as a liberal patron, she begin to have
less reserve with me than wheu I first
noticed her, and finally I was emboldened
to make inquiries iu reference to her
family. It was some' time before she
conversed freely, bat by diut of perse
verance, I learned that she lived with her
mother in a pleaaut cottage on a quiet
street iu the suburbs of the city. I knew
the spot its attractiveness bad oiteu in
terested, me, and I now became more
curious than cvor to hear the story of the
apple "girl in the pink calico dress.
I ventured to ask permission to call on
her mothr, and make hor acquaintance,
under the -plea- of a love of birds and
flowers, with both of which the cottage
was surrounded. I did not receive the
encouragement I wished, but. still was
left to hope thaf. my curiosity might some
day be gratified. As obstacles to my
purpose increased l uceame'more ceter
miaed, and I resolved to change my
tactics. I could understand the girl's
disinclination to allow our acquaintance
to become, in any respect familiar, but I
knew that she would not dare to treat me
rudelv, and watching my opportunity one
Sunday afternoon, I addressed her as she
stood at the street gate ot the cottage,
and as I admired some flowers which
grew in a bed near the house, she could
not escape, politely, from the necessity
of invitins me to walk through the yard
Accidentally we met the mother. I had
an invitation to enter the cottage. Of
course I accepted with pleasure, and find
ing the mother to be more communicative
than the daughter,! managed to learn they
were French people, although they both
spoke English remarkably well. The
cottage parlor was furnished plainly but
elegantly. There were upon the mantel
a number of delicate works of art, which
i I was satisfied could not have been pur
chased by the limited earnings of an
apple girl.
"Why a young girl who lived in a cot
tage, with so much evident taste and cul
tivation, should invariably wear a pink
calico dress, and sell fruit, nuts and candy
on the street, was to me a perplexing
query. There was a web of romance
weaving round the mysterious apple girl,
which became more and more interesting,
And every day my resolution to unravel
it became stronger.- There was so much
modesty in the girl's bearing at her apple
stand she seemed so much afraid of
scandal, should any converse with her
longer than was necessary to make a
Jmrehase, Jhat there -was no way left
or- me to solve the mystery of her
life but by visiting the cottage. Again
I went withont an invitation, and boldly
' made known the -curiosity which led me
to force myself upon their acquaintance.
Tbe .daughter laughed heartily, and
said, gaily : . , ' ,
"We have been just as much at fault
to understand your curiosity as you have
to reconcile our -circumstances with our
employment."
Thn we should be mutual confidants,
I oLserved : "I have been very frank with
you, and hope you wih reciprocate.
"Bat our relations are not similar,
ehe .replied. "We are not responsible
for your curiosity, hut you for ours.
"Why so?" : I asked. -
Tt a tnrtukd upon US."
"Indeed! and was not mine forced
upon me,-in such a manner, too, as left
me no choice but tor seek the mystery?

cried :
"He's come ! he's come''
Iu her pink dress at the apple stand,
she. had met Emile the day previous.
I stood that night a witness to their
union, aud a happier wedding I never
attended. The devotion of the simple
girl was rewarded her faith was not
misplaced her homely talisman proved
a-true one.

"She did," I auswercd, "on my first

to support us. rather died when 1 was
a little giil. 1 had no brothers, but I
had a playmate who was dearer than a
brother. As wc crew older, his parents,
who were rich, forbade him to visit our
house. We met in the fields, wo loved
each other, and would not be separated.
His father learned that we still met, and
he was very angry. lie told his son that
if he visited me he could not stay at
home. ! -
Our fathers had been bitter enemies,
but we could not understand why that
should make us enemies when we loved !
each other, and Emile declared that he
would not neglect; me, if his father did
shut his doors against him. One day he
said to me, 'I am going to run away, but
not from you from father, and you shall
come -o mc, and then we never snail De
parted.' It was! hard, to consent, but
Emile insisted, and wc took leave of each
other, aud he did run away. It was a
long time before Ave heard from him
then we sot a letter which told U3 he was
in America. . I had changed very much
since Emile's absence, and mother was
afraid I would die. I coaxed her to let
mc go to America; Emile tell us in. his
letter that he ! lived iu Cincinnati.
When we arrived in Boston wc inquired
for Cincinnati, and were directed to this
place. Mother bought this cottage, and
here wc have lived expecting to meet
Emile." )
"Have you ever heard from him?" I
inquired. I
"Only o.iee;" she answered.
"Do you know; where he is now?"
"No, iudeed; if we did we would nof
stay here long." j
"Have you never written to hiir ?"
"We do not know his name. He has
changed it, as he told us iuhis letter, but
he neglec'ed to tell us what name he now
bears." j
"Do yoa think you will ever find
him."" i
"Yes, iudecd, I do. I dreain about
him every nignt.j I know he is not dead,
aud I shall soon meet hhn."
I made inquiry, hoping it might lead
to some explanation ot the pint dress
and apple-selliog mysterv. She under
stood my look and tone of curiosity, and
answered pleasantly :
jhat will explain to you the romance
of my dress and occupation. When
Emile and I played together in France,
I ofien wore a dress very like this onp.
If he should see me anywhere in this
dress he would know me. I might meet
him and not know him, but he would
recognize me, and I would not dress in
any other style, for fear we might miss

A brig "was lying at Boston harbor

before the embargo was laid, tit for sea.
The Plymouth owner thought it was a
good time to sell the brig, and sent his
son up for the purpose, telling him to
demaud eight thousand dollars for her,
and not take less than six thousand dol
lars. John went to Boston, found how
things stood, sold the brig iu a moment,
as it were, aud hurried home, elated with'
his bargain. As he neared the house,
he saw the old" mau marching up and
down the piazza, aud preseutly he hasten
ed out to meet his son, and hear the
result of the sale.
"Have you sold the brig, John?"
"Y5, father."
"For how much?"'
"Ten thousand dollars."
"Ten thousand dollars!" cried tao old
man, with staring eyes, at hearing a price

I'll bet you have sold her to some
swindler who don't care what the price

there are no notes in the case. I got

so very popular in fans, may be soon

velocipedes used by boys, have been in
use for twenty years, but the kind in
question are an inveution of only three
years date, ana nave out two wheels,
one of which immediately succeeds the
other in a straight line. A saddle is ele
vated above them, and stirrups are used,
which, by a movement ot the feet, create
a rapid action ot the apparatus, with an
effort far less fatiguing to the limbs than
walking. The mode of mounting is first
to push it, accompanying the action by a
movement of the foot in the left stirrup,
and then suddenly to spring into the sad
dle and use both stirrups. Fully a week
of practice is required, as the difficulty
to the rider ot balancing himself is
great. A fall, however, is without dan

and ho has only to disenaio it a mo

The Chicago Rejmblican, of Jan.1 15th,
gives the particulars of a tragedy which
occurred at Napicrville (111.), on the 13th:
A Coroner's inquest has been held on
the remains of James W. Laird, killed at
Napicrville, Dupage county, by Chauncey
Bailey, on suspicion ot. a criminal inter
course with his (Bailey s wue. from
the testimony given at the inquest it ap
pears that Channcey Bailey, the injured
husband, resided in the western suburbs
ofNapicrville ; that some three mouths
ago one Jame3 W. Laird, a young and
not bad looking man, and formerly a res
ident of the village, returned from the
somewhat fast town ot Cheyenne, where
he had hold the position of Sheriff of the
county in which Cheyenne is located, as
also the position of Deputy United States
.Marshal for the district. Besides this,
Laird was formerly a proprietor of the
lrgiuia City (.Nevada) Lmon, and at
another time he worked as a printer in
San Francisco. During the three months,
since his return an improper intimacy
grew up between the ex-bherift and the
wife of Bailey an intimacy which,
although perfectly evident to the com
munity at large, was not known to Bailey
till nuite recently. At last a friend of
the injured hnsband told him of tbe dis
graceful rumors. Bailey very properly
commenced to investigate as to the facts
in the case. So accordingly he immedi
ately started off to Elgin that is, to
speak more accurately, he told his wife
that he so intended. This departure for
Elgin, Mrs. Bailey was informed, would
take place Wednesday morning. But
this part of the programme was not car
ried out. During the day the ex-Sheriff
received a note, written in a feminine
hand, conveying the information that
Bailey had left town for that "day. Ac
cordingly Laird proceeded to the ; house
of tbe woman about 9 o'clock in the even
ing. A gentle rap at the door: and Mrs,
Bailey admitted him. Soon after the
entrance of Laird, Bailey appeared on
the ground gazing at the guilty pair
through a hole which he had cut out
in the window curtain the previous even
ing. His wife and Laird at the time
were sitting together on a lounge' in the
sitting room, but soon went into an ad
joining bedroom. "Waiting but a few
minutes, Bailey burst in the door, and,
