Sfr. 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.

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.

Yesterday morning a woman living on

front of the gite heaving the suow right

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

The Tcterkins at the Centennial.
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.

Ou Wednesday night Mr. Turtle mean
dered out into the bar-room, and waddled

Trouble and Vexation.
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

Aching Heads and Uneasy Nerves
Are often soothed by Hostetler's Stomach
Bitters, because that searching corrective
completely removes the causes of brain and

truth which cannot be too earnestly insisted
upon, that the f tied of mere sedatives aud
narcotics, like bromide of potassium, valerian,
chloral hydrate aud opium, is less appreciable
the longer they are used, aud thut they can
never permanently relieve nervous excitabil

its roots. llostetter's Bitters, however, can
and does cure nervous maladies Jor the reason

SCBIBHER'S MOHTHLY-
An Unrivaled Illastrated Magazine.
When ScxiBXxa issned Its fimous Midsummer Holi
day NTumber in July, a friendly critic said of It: " We
are not ure but that Sckibxer hat touched hhjf,.
water mark. We do not nee what tcorltU are Ut to
U to conquer." But the publishers do not consider
that they have reached the ultima thule of eicellence
they believe "there are other worlds to conquer, aa
they propose to conquer them.
The prospectus for the new volume gives tbetltVt
of more than fifty papers fmostly illustrated), by
writers of the highest merit. Under the head of
" FOREIGN TRAVEL,"
we have "A "Winter on the Kile," by tien. McClei.

By Dr. Hollaxd, the Editor.
whose story of "Sevenoaks (rave the highest satisfac
tion to the readers of the Monthly.
The scene of this late: t novel is laid on the banks of
the Hudson. The hero Is a voune man who has been
always "tied to a icoman'e apron string" but who.
by the death of his mother. Is left alone In the worM
to drift on the current of life with a fortune, but
without a purpose.
Another serial, "His Inheritance,' by Miss Tr afto. ,
will begin oirhe completion of "That Lass o Lovr
rte's," by Mrs. Hodgson Bckxktt. Mrs. Burnett's
story, begun in August, has a pathos and dramatic
power which have been a surprise to the public.
There is to be a scries of original and exquisitely
Illustrated papers of "Popular Science, by Mrs. Bus

There are to be, from various pens, papers on

ments in Co-operation," "A Scottish Loaf Factory,'
in the November number, and "Toad Lane Roch
dale," in December. Other papers are, "The Britten
Worklngrnan's Home," "A Nation of Shopkeepers,"
"Ha'penny a Week for the Child " etc
A richly illustrated series will be given on "Ameri
can Sports by Flood and Field," by various writers,
and each on a different theme. The subject of
"Household and Home Decoration"
will have a prominent place, whilst the latest produc
tions of American humorists will appear from month
to month. The list of shorter stories, biographical
and other sketches, etc., is a long one.
The editorial department will continue to employ
the ablest pens both at home and abroad. There will
be a series ot letters on literary matters, from Lon
don, by Mr. Welfobd.
The pages of the magazine will be open, as hereto

sion of all themes affecting the social and religious
life of the world, and specially to the freshest thought
of the Christian thinkers and scholars ot this country.
