Monroe's Son-in-Law. , "And so you want to marry my daugh ter," sad farmer Monr.ie, taking a pipe from Li9 month, and looking sharply at the young mnn standing before him. Depife his rather indolent, effeminate air, which was mainly the result of hi3 education, Roscoe Haynes was a fine looking fellow, and usually self-possessed, but he blushed and grew confused beneath that earnest scrutiny. 'Yes, sir, I spoke to Casteva last even ing, and she referred me to you." "Casteva is a good girl," he said, strok ing hi9 chin with a thoughtful air, "and she deserves a good husband. What can you do?" The young man looked still more cou fused at this abrupt inquiry. "If you refer to my ability to support a wife, I can assure you " "1 know you have money enough, but what guarantee can you give me, in case it should all be lost, as many a fortune has been, that you could provide for her a comfortable home? You have hands; what can you do with them?" These were questions for which Roscoe was wholly unprepared; he knew not how to reply. "I believe you hive been through col lege ; have you studied any profession V "No, sir; I thought" "Have you any trade?" "No; my father thought that I should not need any." "Umph I he had ranch better have given you some honest trude, even though you were never obliireJ to work at it. As it is, here you are, a strong, able-bodied man, five-and-twenty years old, and never earned a dollar in your life, and you want to marry my daughter. Now, I've given Casteva a good education, not omitting the accomplishments, but she knows how to work, t o. If I chose, I could keep more than one servant, but it don't hurt the girl to. work some, and gives her bright eyes and rosy rheeks. And nell I'll tell you what I'll do; you go to work, perfect yourself in some honest calling, then come to me, and I'll give vou my consent, if the girl still wishes it." As Mr.-Monroe said this, he kn eked the ashes from the pipe, and deliberately walked off to the lielt3, while It scoe en tered the house to tell the pretty Casteva how he had succeeded. The smiling light faded from her eyes as she noticed his sober, unhappy face. "Father d es it tor our good," she said, as he told her of the conversation. "And I'm not sure but he i ab Hit right," he replied. "I believe it would be best for every man, rich or poor, to hive some occupation." And when he left the house a short time after, the grave look had left his face, and her last words to him before they parted were, "I'll wait for you, lioci ." ltjscoe Haynes suddenly disappeared from Weikst wu, niuc'i to the surprise of his associates, aud none knew where he had gone. Weeks and mouths passed, and still nothing was seeu or heard of him, till his ubieuce had ceased to be commented on. One pleasant, sumhiuy morning, late in autumn, as Mr. Mom 03 was picking the luscious fruit from a heavy laden ap ple tree near the house, a neat cart drove up, from which R iscoe Haynes alighted with a quick, elastic spring, and quickly made his way to where the fanner was at work. "Good morning, Mr. Monroe; would you like to buy some apple and cider barrels? If so, I think I have some here that will just suit you." "Whose make are they?" he inquired, as, opening the gate, he paused by the wagon. "Mine," replied Roscoe. "You see I have a trade now." 3I. Monroe examined them carefully, one by one, as he took them from the wagon. "They'll do," he said, coolly, as he set down the last of the lot; "what do you ask for them?" "What I asked you for the last time I was here your daughter, sir." The roguish twinkle in the farmer's eyes changed to a smile, as he said, "Well, come in come in. I shouldn't wonder if we made a trade." "Cussie!" called Mr. Monroe, thrusting his head in at the kitchen door. Cassie tripped out iuto the entry; the round, white arms were bare above the elbows, and bore traces of the flour she was using. Her dress was a neat print, over which she wore an apron both broad and loag, but she looked as winning and lovely as ever. She blushed and smiled when she saw Itoscop, and then, turning to her father, waited demurely to hear what he had to say. "C isteva, this young man has brought me a lot of barrel?, all of Ids own make; a nice lot they are, too. He asks rather a steep price for them, but if you are willing to give it, I will ratify the bar gain." As Mr. Monroe said this, he con siderately left the room, but that the young people made a bargain, we are sure, as there was a wedding very soon, and every year on the anniversary of his marriage Roscoe delights his father-in-law by some specimens of the trade by which he won what he declares to be "the best wife in the world." Stick to Your Business. Tiiere is nothing which should be more frequently impressed upon the minds of y.ung men than the importance ot stead ily pursuing some one business. The frequent changing from, one employment to another is one of the most common errors committed, and to it may be traced more than half the failures of men in business, and much of the discontent and disappointment which render life uncom fortable. It is a very common thing for a man to be dissatisfied with his business and to desire to change it for some other which, it seems to him, will prove a more lucrative employment; but in nine cases out of ten it is a mistake. Look round you and you will find amonj your ac quaintances abundant verification of our assertion. There is an honest farmer who has toiled a few year?, got his farm paid for, but does not grow rich very rapidly, as much from lack of contentment min gled with industry as anything, though lie is not aware of it. He hears the wou- derlul ttries of California, and how for tunes may be had for the troable of pick ing them up; mortgages his farm to raise money; goes away to the land of ffold. ani al ter many months of hard toil comes home to commence aaiu at the bottom of the hill for a more weary and less sue cessful climbing up Mark the men in every community who are noto rious for ability aud equally notorious for never irettmg ahead, and vou will tmj them to be those who never stick to one busiuess long, but are always forsaking their occupation just when it begins to Le proatable. Scientific American. The total ar?a of rr.nberrv 1 inds in cultivation in th; eastern S'ats is 15,000 acres. Spitzbergen Floe-Ice. I am glad to say that a floe-ca is not a native of our country, being the frozen bpitz'jergen sea breaking up in sprin storms, and then carried down by the north wind along the east side of Green land, and afterwards rounding Cape Farewell. It flows rapidly or slowly, according to the strength of winds and current, aloug our inhabited west coast side, being either a benefit to us or an im raense nuisance, which of these qualities depends upon the tollowing circum stances: it the ice masses keep at a re spectable distance they are hailed as friends by the Greenlanders, as they bring along with them sea animals of different kinds in large abundance, es pecially seals and walnues, but some times even bears, and they also protect the bold seal-hunter on his dangerous chae, by forming an impenetrable bar rier against the heavy surf of the ocean. So much for the ice masse? our friends! Foes, we call them, when too intruding in private localities; when, for instance, they enter the inlets aud channels aud fill up our boat aud ship passages, so much as t prevent even the small kay- a'isfr.mi L'l-t ting through with messages to nrighlr!u r places. In such cases we call them h ud times with the ice. In the otherwise beautiful summer of 183 our euemy for a long while was barri i a ling nil ports between Juliancha ib and Godhaab. But I have not yet done with the description. The he ivy mas .-s con tiuually coming in violent miuual con tact, as well as being constantly subj -ct to the influence of the surf, are incessant ly changiug into ail manner of shapes and siz,s, which is very interesting to ob saive. For instance, there may be a floating castle, really picturesque, but, contrary to custom, you. may detect a streamlet or la'.l pouring down irom a tower or windowsill of the cad.le. Tuis past, we row along-si le a mile wide track, smooth as a house floor, aud our oarsmen in sucn cases are sure 10 remarK, ' Ilia kittigfissak angim it " (What a nice place for dauciug!) Then, again, are colossal sphinxes aud pyramids, slender vases or all siziS, chairs and tables of mtique, as well as modern shape, arm chairs with or without old men leaning back iu tliem, swaas gracefully diving u the sunaje, colossal witches, b.ue grottoes, aud so forth. If, now, we were inly sure that this curious museum would keep quiet, as is often the case, it would arTrd immense e.ijoyment to in vestigate its various content-", but as the objects generally are in a state of great agnation a witch, tor instance, every now and then sailing down upon a sphinx after having en passant unset several Etruscau vases we in the frail boats may as well be prepared for the att .ck of some ,iuut; in truth, seriously speaking, where winds aud waves drive about these huge masses at their will, one runs the risk of being crushed, although the dan ger is generally avoided by the expert- uess 01 the natives. I have otien heard a thanksgiving Kucanik for a happy hair-breadth escape from the ice moun tains or ice pieces clasping together jast behind us; yet I have no disagreeable recollection of such scenes when travel ing in Gieeuland, quite unavoidable; the critical moment being over, the feeling ot safety was such a delightful feeling.

Blessed is the neighbor w ho is so busy about his own affairs that he has no time to pry iuto yours. W here are the blessed? Echo answers, "Where?" Touched Her Heart. Yesterday morning a woman living on Napoleon street was seen 011 the walk in front of the gite heaving the suow right and left, and she had only got fairly set tled to work when a boy "loungjd up and remarked : "I'll clear off the walk for ten cents." "I guess I'm able t do it," hi replied. "But see how it looks," he continued. "Here you are, a perfect lady in look and action, highly-educated, aud yet you grovel in the dust, as it were, to save the pitiful sum of tcu cents." "You grovel along and mind your own business," she curtly replied, still di.-nn-away. 00 0 "I I'd worth tea cents." h s.M ,a i. leaned against the fence, "but I'm a feller wun some sentiment m my bosom. Now we'll say nVe cents, or i jst pm.u.rt. k er wear an 1 tear o' my bones.

She looked at him s-h irply, saw that he was in e truest, aud when she passed over the suow-shovel she put two nickels inta his hand. He looked after her as she went in, and then sadly mused: "Oh! Flattery, thy surest victim is a womau homely enough for a scare-row !" Detroit Free Pre.

They proposed to take the teur of the grounds in one of the railroad cars. In tin's way they could get an idea of the whole. They joined a crowd of people rushing to one of the platforms to secure seats as a train came along. Mrs. Peter kin was near being left behind, it was so hard for ber to decide w hich seat to take; and the hurry was so great, the rest of the family, thinking she was going to be left, all got out again aud were obliged to hus tle iu the minute the train was starting. The little boys were anxious to get out at the first-stopping place, but Mr. and Mrs. Peterkin preferred to make the whole tour and see everything first. In and out they went among the various buildings. Mrs. Peterkin said she would ask nothing better than to spend the day in this way. Agamemnon had a map, and tried to point out the several build ings as they came to them, but it was difficult to discover the numbers attached to them in the map. Meanwhile Solo mon John studied the differeut colors of the flags After some time Elizabeth Eliza said : "I did not know they ha 1 so these 'Woman's Pavilions.' " "I think they must have one State," said Mr. Peterkin. "It is astouidiing ho.v much alike," said Mrs. Peterkin. "With so many buildings," many of for each they are said Mr. Peterkin, "you could not expect to hive them all different." "Still," said Agamemnon, "I should not think they would have so many of these statues of horses with wings." "They are very fine," said Mr. Peter kin. "No wonder they repeat them so often." "They come in pairs," said Solomon Jchn. "We have seen them five times. I counted," said one of the little boys. Elizabeth Eliza started: "We must have made the tour at least five times! I have seen five Woman's Pavilions!" "This is the very place where we got in," said Solomon John. The whole family made a rush to get out, for they hal just reached a plat form, aid the time for stopping was very short. Mrs. Peterkin stooped to extri cate her camp-stoil, which she hal put under the seat, and getting it out with trouble, she looked up to find that the car was taking her on, and all the family behind on the platform ! She wished to get out, but was held back by the other passengers, who declared she would break her neck if she jumped from the car in motion. Bat at the next stopping-place she felt so flustered she hardly knew what to do, so she kept on and on till she felt she must somehow make up her mind to leave that car, and with a desperate reso lution she stepped out on the plattorm. She found herself in a deserted part of the grounds, a few gentlemen only get ting out to go to tho Brewers' Hall. Though there was a crowd everywhere else, it seemed very solitary here. Mrs. Peterkins went round and round the Brewers' Hall, uncertain where to go. At last a gentleman noticed her, and asked if he could help her. When she told her cae, he a-ked if her family had appoint ed any place of meetiug in cae ot acci dent. Mrs. Peterkin thought she re membered their talking of the Main Building as a rendezvous. The gentle man a Ivised her taking the train directly for the Main Building. She shook her head ; she had already spent the morn ing in the cars. The gentleman smiled, but aked her to go 011 with him and he would show her where to get out. Mrs. Peterkin joined him gratefully, and they took a train at a neighboring platform. But they had not gone very far, and were making another stop, when airs. t'eterKin gave a scream ! mere was her family standing in a row ready to re ceive her! She was so agitated she could hardly get out, aud almost fainted with delight at the meeting. St.2t ichol is. The Bank of England. Few who read of the Bank of England have any idea of the vastuess of the oper ations of thi greatest of the financial institutions of the world. London is a sort of clearing house for all civilized na tions, and around the Bink of England the commercial world may be said to re 'olve. The greatest amount of deposits in the whole of the New York banks has rarely if ever exceeded $250,000,000; those in this one Loudon bank have reached more than half that sura, or $150,000,000. The New York Banks' loans have varied sometimes $3,000,000 or $10,000,000 a week; in one week last May during a panic the loans by the Bauk of England rose over $30,000,000, and reached $153,000,000, or more than half the highest sum ever reached by the fifty nine associated banks of New York. The greatness of the deposits is remarkable, especially as the bank pays no interest on them and is surrounded by institu tions that do. Not another less rental k able fact is that nearly forty per cent, of these deposits at one time nearly $50, 000,000 was placed in the bank by private bankers, despite the lack of in terest. All these tilings show what is the function of this vast establishment security. So desirable is safety that the owners of $150,000,000 prefer to keep itin the bank's vaults without interest, rather than trust it elsewhere. The other function the bank has undertaken, to control the money-market, it has failed to achieve; but the safety it gives to funds has doubtless contributed much to lower the rate of in terest iu Loudou. Great care and pains are taken to secure this safety. Every night twenty-five soldiers of the regular army are detailed to guard the bank; and for directors and managers men of the highest character are selected. The movement of its deposits is watched with eagerness, and it has even been said that whenever they fall below $120,000,- 000 money is pretty sure to be scarce. "Got 'Em !" The proprietor of a Front street saloou h id a fine live turtle which he was going to have made into soup for his guests. It was under the ice box, waiting for his time to come. Ou Wednesday night Mr. Turtle mean dered out into the bar-room, and waddled along up to. where two soakers were sit ting by a table taking in sustenance of a liquid nature. The turtle quietly passed under the table, and found an obstruc tion in the shape of a schooner, made of leather, with a man's loot in the "hold." The tui tie hadn't time to go around the foot, so he started t climb over it. The man who owned the foot felt something and looked dowu. The turtle saw him and looked up with an appealing look. The man turned pale and said, "Boys, take me home and send for a doctor. 1 ve got 'em !" Zq Crose Sun.

We would advise any of our readers who contemplate purchasing to write to Messrs.

Many people who have sewing machines are constantly annoyed by finding them out of order and when they exhaust their pa tience they sometimes feel as though they would like to throw the machine out of doors. Such people would do well to buy the New American Se wiug Machine,as its simplicity of construction makes it one of the most desirable machines for fainil3- use. Those who once ex amine it can see at a glance that there is very little machinery, and the parts are so con structed a to do their work with ease aud accuracy. Of course every machine needs to be seeu at work to be fully appreciated, but parties who seud for circulars can get some thing of an idea of the merits of the New American. Parties at a dit-tauce from San Francisco can safely order the machine and be sure of obtaining what will prove a bless ing aud comfort to every womau who uses it.

Another serial, "His Inheritance,' by Miss Tr afto. , will begin oirhe completion of "That Lass o Lovr rte's," by Mrs. Hodgson Bckxktt.
