Accordingly, I went to our fair copyist and informed her of our decision. - ! To my surprise she requested that we should continue writing to one of our correspondents, who claimed to be a law student in the city of Albany. Nothing loth, of course I consented, gently hinting that there might be an unexpected ending to our meaningless commencement. "Not that," she-replied quickly,' blushing deeply, "but he writes speudid letters, and I wish our correspondence may continue for mutual improvement." "' The Albany student of law did write capitally, and thus he became the favored one, while all the rest were left out in the cold.

"I know I have done wrong, and I heartily repent of it now. . Is . there no , honorable retreat for me?" In spite of all I could say, I found her decided in her purpose, and finally with the request that she should let the letter remain unanswered until she received word from me, I repaired to my, boarding-place, to tell the news to my room-mate.;; . --., , "It's too badl" muttered Wilt when I had finished.

It was true her mother was in moderate circumstances, but with her wealth of womanly virtues I knew she was worthy of any man's esteem.

The next day found Carrie G. and myself at L waiting anxiously in the depot for the coming of the train. " My companion had the shoofly pinned upon her shoulder, and, as the cars came rushing into the place, I saw that she was greatly agitated.

Cheering her up as best I could, I told her I would make it all right with her mother, from whom we had carefully withheld the object of bur visit to L. We did mke it all right with Mrs. G., as far as it concerned her daughter, but she for gave me with an ill-grace fur the part 1 had acted, and said she would not give her consent until she knew more of the man. Before the time set for Arthur K. H.'s visit, I made inquiry in regard to his social position and means, to find him in every respect more than he had represented. That was in his favor decidedly, and when at the appointed day he came, both mother and daughter received them cordially. His father came, too, as he had promised, and we found him a genial, courteous gentleman, who seemed well-pleased with his son's choice. - When Arthur renewed his offer of marriage with candor and affection. I do not think Carrie hesitated loneer in her reply. remaps l leit justly proud ot what I had been the means of consummating, for in my heart I knew it was a good match. To the surprise of her neighbors, Mrs. G. sold her small place, and with her daughter left very suddenly. Accompanying their new-formed friends to Albany they lound them among the first families. As A rib ur lacked only one year of finishing bis law course, it was decided that he aud Carrie should be married at once, and I had the pleasure of acting as groomsman. After their marriage Carrie received instructions in , music from a highly accomElished teacher, until she graduated with igh honors. .Employed soon after by the city to defend an important case, he was successful, and his name has ranked ever since as one of the ablest and most highly rewarded practitioners in the country. : - -.While his son had found a happy home, Mr. H. who had been a widower for several years, began to feel that he needed a helpmeet at his country residence, and that of all persons Mrs. G. was ' the one whom he desired.

" Seeing President Hayes About a School House. : " f Detroit Free Preaa. Yesterday afternoon there was one man in the crowd around the City Hall who said he must have a personal interview with the president if it broke his suspenders. He had come 28 miles in a lumber wagon on purpose to see the "old man" and have him settle a neighborhood dispute regarding the location of a school house. "You see," he explained to an interesting knot of listeners, "the Thomas crowd are bound and determined to locate the school bouse down there by the Widder Hull's, which is the worst place on the hull road, while the rest of us want it up on the Jackson hill, which is airy and salubrious and handy to two creeks and a mill pond. The Thomas crowd are cracking their heels just now, and they think they've got the bulgeon us, but I rather think if the president of the great United States decides in favor of the hill the school-house will be planted there. It's a little dodge of mine to see him. The Thomas crowd don't even suspect what I'm up to, and when I reach home to-night there'll be wailing and gnashing of teeth, and don't you recollect it!" There were men in the crowd who sympathized with him and were willing to aid him in securing an interview. It took only about 10 minutes to so arrange matters that the school-house man was walked around to the southern entrance of the hall and introduced to ex-Coroner Cahill, who looks as near like Hayes as one pea resembles another. The 'president" bowed, shook hands, and with a kindly smile, inquired:' "Well, Mr. Slammer, what can I do for you? Don't be afraid to speak right out; I used to wear old clothes and carry a rod nose myself, and I am ready to sympathize with you." Mr. Slammer winced a little at this personal allusion, which was responded to by a horse laugh from the little crowd, but he soon got his breath and began: 'Well, you perhaps don't know the Thomas crowd? "Yes, I do you bet I do!" responded the president, "and they are a mignthy good crowd of boys, too." ' ' " "They are eh?" slowly inquired Mr. Slammer. "Why, I don't think so." "I can't help what you think," bluntly replied the president, as be cocked his hat on his ear. 4 1 tell you the boys are all right, and I'll bet on 'em every time, You can't give me no wind on that crowd no sir!'' "Then then ' vou've heard about thai school house trouble, eh?" gasped Mr. Slam mer. "Yes, I have, and you've got to come right down on me roost! inat school house is going to be built down bv the Widow Hull's, and don t you lorget it I "What! down thar in the holler?" "Yes, sir that's the place for it; can't get me to favor putting any school house on your internal old Dill. "Waal, Mr. President, I'm sorry that" "Sorry be hanged!" interrupted the 'Chief Magistrate' in a gruff voice. " hat do 1 care how sorry you are?" "Why why 1" "Don't you why at me, sir don't you do it! Although I'm the president of the United Stales, I'll Ulow no man to why at me! -Why!" "You villain!" roared the executive, as he made a grab for Mr. Slammer s collar, but Mr Slammer stepped back about 10 feet at that moment aud was bustled around the corner. "Well?" inquired one of the party as they came to a fiait. "WaaL I'll be durned!" hoarvely whisper ed Mr. Slammer. "Why, hang it, 1 notonlv got bilked on the school-bouse business but come mighty near gettin' blazes knocked out of me." "Something wrong, somewhere," sighed one of the jokers. "I'll tell you what it is," replied Mir. Slammer, striking his finger down at every word "he's been sawn I . Some o' that Thoiiias crowd has got in ahead of me and cut all the wheatl" Not by Chance. Perhaps in some isolated instances a man may become wealthy through a series of circumstances very much , resembling "luck," but as a rule, tbtwe who would enjoy success must work hard for it Twenty clerks in a store, 20 hands in a printing office, 20 apprentices in a ship yard, 20 men , in a village all want to get on in the world and expect to do so. One of the clerks will become a partner and make a fortune; one of the compositors will own a newspaper and become an influential citizen; and one of the apprentices will become a master builder; one of the young villager will get a handsome farm and live like a patriarch but which one is the lucky individual? Lucky I There is rarely any luck about it. The young fellow who will distance his competitors is he who masters his business, who . preserves his integrity, who lives cleanly and purely, who devotes his leisure to acquisition of knowledge, who gains friends by deserving them, and who saves his spare money. There are some ways to fortune shorter than this old dusty high way j buttle staunch men of the community, the men who achieve something really worth having, good, fortune, good name, and serene old age, all travel in this road.

, ANECDOTES OF A A BON BCKE. Some Remlnlaoeacea of Thlng-e Not Inclnt ' ded he Bioaaphles. ''' New lork 'Evening Poet. There-.as one New Yorker of a former generation, - who. possesssed individuality enough to be vividly remembered by the present, and that person was Aaron "Burr. Other famous men of his day were as closely identified with the city's history as he, but their personal memory seems to have pretty much faded from the minds of its citizens. With Burr, however, the case is different, and there are scores of grav-baired gentlemen in the city, and some old ladies, too, who remember him perfectly, and if properly approached will entertain one for hours with vivacious gossip and anecdote concerning

nim. JUany of these anecdotes were, of course, collected and published by Burr's biographers, but some have escaped their notice. Among the latter are several related by an oW gentleman occupying a responsible posi. tion in this city, and who was an intimate friend and connection of Colonel Burr, which refute some assertions concerning him made by historians, and, as tendingato help the public to a juster estimate of his' character, are worthy of publication. I give them very nearly in the words of the narrator, permitting him to speak hereafter, but avoiding double marks of quotation: r When I first met Colonel Burr, he began, he was an old man, and as you know under a cloud, not bowed down and decrepit, as I expected to see him, but ruddy and fair-faced, with the brilliant eye and erect carriage of a man in his prime. Our leave-taking on this occasion most impressed me. "You must come and see me olten.' said he. "I am an old man; vou are voune. and my ex perience of the world and among men has been such that I may be of benefit to you." That Washington disliked Burr is a matter of history; this was due partly to Hamilton's influence, but chiefly Jthink, to Burr's freely spoken criticisms oiuhfs generalship. Burr, thought Washington a poor general, and conceited youngster as he was, was quite outspoken in his opinions. He nvver sought to Impress his peculiar views of the man upon the young, however, as an incident which I can relate will thow. In our intercourseas cordial and unaffected as that between father and son he was speaking one day of the battle of Monmouth, which he characterized as a succession of mere skirmishes, magnified ny tulsome Historians into a battle, and which, be said, might have been won for the patriot arms on several occasions bad Washington and here checked himself, and, after a mo ment, added: "Let us stop here; I would on no account destroy the veneration and es teem that you have for the character of Washington." A"? wacBOn' ' h" J nPL da7wa8 ... an ardent admirer of Burr, and was to have been the latter 's most trusted lieutenant in the proposed Mexican expedition. He also stoutly defended him at the time of his trial for treason in Richmond in 1807. Twentyone years alter, in 1828, their positions had changed. Jackson was the Democratic canddate for president, and Burr was living oh - rarely in New York, poor and.under acToud. They were not then on speaking terms. Buir had letters and papers in his possession that would have nipped Jackson's presidenS .iT:. :. dered at his forbearance in not using this ' power, the more as in many case, by sodoing he might have cleared himself. But 1 think fidelity to friends was one or his most striking traits. Burr voted for Jackson for president, and his appearing at tbe polls I remember perfectly. Tbe polling places were then in Bow. ling Green, near the battery, and on this occasion there were gathered very much such a turbulent crowd as now disgrace our elections. At length Colonel Burr, accompanied by a friend, one of tbe Swartwouts, I think, drove up, and it was soon whpered about that he was present.' , Every one seemed anxious to see him; tbe noisy demonstations of the crowd were hushed, and a lane was formed, through which headvanced to deposit his ballot; aome of the citizen, even lifted their hats In spontaneous tribute to the man. There was a presence about Burr rarely met with, which made him a marked man in any company, and preserved him from personal insult. Indeed, I never knew an instance in which he was insulted personally, though he was so often and so grossly assailed by persons at a distance. Another thing not generally known, I believe, is that Burr once projected a comprehensive work cn the men and events ol the Revolution; his more intimate friends, however, knew this to have been one of the most cherished plans of his later life. For it he had collected many letters and papers of value, which at the time of his flight to Europe were sent for safe-keeping to hi. ac complished daughter, ' uneodoeia, in bourn Carolina. When she came to meet her father in 1812 they accompanied her on board the ill-fated Patriot, and were lost with ber in the ship-wreck of that vessel off the Hattera coast. Hence the project was abandoned, to the incalculable loss of American literature, for Burr bad it in his power to give a truthful history of the great contest, and could have fortified his position with the necessary pa pers and documents. I am certain that he would have disproved many of the assertions of biased historians, and that a juster estimate than is common of some eminent characters might have been gathered from his work, es pecially of Jefferson and Hamilton. Burr was never himself after the loss of the Patriot; he was more affected by it than was generally supposed. I think he was heart-broken. Often be was urged to reply to the calumnies circulated concerning him, as a duty be owed to himself, to his family, and to posterity at large. "Ah!" he would say, "of what use are words? All my papers were lost in the same shipwreck that bereft me of my daughter; let them do with the old man as tney will. . Of Colonel Burr's politeness and courtliness much has been said, and he probably excelled in these qualities all other men of his day; courtesy and grace were innate qual ities withhim, and he bad opportunities for ac quiring polich denied to most public men. I think, however, that it was his personal magnetism which gave him his great power with women.' In this connection let me relate an incident which occurred some time after bis death. : ' , ' . ' I was passing the office of Fowler, the phrenologist, in Fulton street, in whose win dow a plaster cast of Burr's head had just been placed, and noticed two ladies, richly dressed, standing before it; one was young, the other old.- Ail passed the young lady Saul triumphantly: "Grandma, what i there here to interest you tol" "Why, said the

other, "here Is a cast of Colonel Burr." "And

what of that?" was the reply. "Ah! my dear," said the old lady in an indescribable tone, "you never knew Colonel Burr. I met him often in society, and I am sure he was the most lovable man I ever met." Some assertions in an article on the death of Colonel Burr, which appeared in the New York Times during last summer, are prejudiced and untrue. The article speaks of his terrible outbursts of profanity while on his death-bed, and asserts that . he died deserted by his friends and bereft of human sympathy. Now I happen to know that the reverse of this is true. Colonel Burr died, as you know, at the Continental Hotel, Port Richmond, Staten Island. His disease was paralysis, a comparatively painless malady. Judge Ogden Edwards and wife, own cousins of Colonel Burr, were then living in the old Dougan Manor House, on the island (which, by the way, has a history), and devoted themselves assiduously to the care of their aged relative, and his friends in New -York were unremitting in their attentions. During these last days Burr lay every day in a sort of stupor until about 3 oclock in the afternoon, when he would awaken active and vivacious, attend to his business affairs, read the newspapers, and receive such visitors as might call. Many did call, and among them Rev. Dr. Vanpelt, of the Dutch Reformed church on the island, who was frequently at his bedside. Colonel Burr trea his yisitor with the respect and courtesy due his calling, and the doctor was much pleased with him.

When Thackeray came to Boston to deliver hi. lectures ho had made an agreement with a friend, a Boston ian whom he met in Germany, to go and hear Theodore Parker, but was advised by his newer acquaintance, here not to do so, as it would not be thought the proper thing, and might possibly hurt nil lectures. . . ' It was in the winter, and one Sunday morning (there had been a rain and the streets were glazed with ice) Thackeray started with two friends, a gentleman and his daughter, for church, they to go to Music Hall and he to St. Paul s. . lb was uncomfortable travel ing, and of a very different sort to which tbe ereat man was accustomed, but he made his way by taking the gentleman' arm and niacins his other hand nn the lady' shoulder. When the entrance to Music Hail was reach ed his friends were about bidding him good morning, but looking about him, he Mid: "Well, if I go on I shall certainly fall and break my neck, so I must go in with you." It happened to be Parker's sermon on Amos Lawrence. Thackeray , was immensely pleased, fascinated. The same evening a company was assembled at the house of a distinguished literary gentleman of this city. Thackeray was of the number, and could talk of nothing but Theodore Parker; be was all aglow with enthusiasm and admiration for him. . Presently the host remarking the blank countenances of hi. guests, slowly said, "We don't meet Mr. Parker. He move, in another circle." ' . There was a pause, and the great satirist, straightening himself up, .aid: "I begin to think I havent seen the best company in Boston yet."

Another most serious impediment was the difficulty of producing a pigment which should possess sufficient affinity with the glass to be --readily incorporated with it, and yet be" capable of a reduction to a consistency favorable to its use as and an ordinary kind of painting ' material to be laid on, and variously treated, according to the necessities of the manipulator.
