Come here, child, and show the foreigner the shark's tooth -marks on your shoulder." "I see, I see. It was an intrepid deed. It was noble to save the poor white man from so ghastly a death. And this is the girl that taught you to add bread-fruit to the poi?" 'Yf, the same the very same. To f-jur-finyr poi, you r.nderstanl not to all sorts. I will show yon I will make you understand. In the Sandwich Islands and the Marquesas they make poi out of taroroot only. Then, you know, they wouldn't dream of Hewever, I was going to tell yoa. The natives takes the tara-root, which is much like what yon deeertbe turnip to be, and wraps it in plantain leaves, and puts it in a hole in the ground which he has lined with hot stones, don't you see? covers it up, lets it roast. Takes it out, pounds it in a great stone dish with a large stone pestle; adds water to this mash, from time to time, to th.n it He sets it away (it is poi, now) in large calabashes. ' looks like so mach flour past. At meals nil the family and friends sit around the calabash on their haunches, just as you or I are doing except that the poor common Kanakas are waked, of course. Oh ! no, my friend because you see me, the great King, in short collar and spectacles, you must not imagine that the common subject must ape grandeur and put on clothes. They sit around the calabash, and all eat from it with their bands. Each inserts bis fingers and stirs them briskly around till a portion of the pulpy n - aw adheres to them then tilts back bis head, lets the susper ded tail of the pulp descend iuio his open mouth then his fingers follow, and he sucks the remainder .rom them. Now if the pulp be thick, you can use one fing-r; if it be thinner, you must use tro, or three, or four fingers, accordingly. Bat, as I told yon, it was thi inspired girl that invented the method of thickening four finger poi with bread-fruit and also flavoring it with carcasses of the delicious bird which iu your tongue you term the grasshopper." 'Blessed giri!" "Blessed girl, indeed. But pardon me you you seem distressed." "It is nothing. Poi, even in its rative nastines-i, is only mildly delicious to rue the addition to it of the wild game you mention" "Ah. say no more. I perceive. But try this dish. It is a fry of bananas and plantains, with oranges sliced in it and just a spoonful or so ot the delightful chirimoya acded to give it tone. conceived the idea of adding the angleworms. r "It was inspiration." 'I so regarded it. It is so considered by the great chiefs. To tbe common herd it is 'abu. That is to say prohibited. Now as regards those missionaries," continued tbe Kin?, reflectively scratching bis bead with the fork which I had presented him, and which he had already learned to use a good deal, though not al-says in a strictly legitimate way, "as regards those niissionanea. I will say, that their ländlichere was unexpected, but I hastened to give tbena every protection. And I gave them full privilege to teach. They were tbe first whites that some of my people had seen, and of course these simple natives bid a natural curiosity to experiment upon them ! I could not reasonably deny them this little gratification, though I counseled them to pratie as little cruelty upon the strangers as was c mpatible with a fair desire for information and the necessity of wholesome amusement They removed Johnson's em, and that was a thing which I regretted seriously until it was explained to me that a great chiefs little sick child desired them to play with, ad if you could have seen how much more contented and restful the now jouug thing after it acquired them, you would have telt how blessed a thing it is to be able to contribute to the happiness of even a little child. " "It was the impulse of a generous heart it was a spirit of liberality as rare as it is beautiful. And bow did Johnson like it?" "Oh. Johnson said it was tbe will of God It was like Johnson to say that. But the missionaries were right well treated, on the whole. The natives tried various interesting experiments upon th m, such as scorching them, and scalping them, and ail that sort ot thing, and I killed one of them myself, not in malice, but because I had a curious caprice to see how he would go with onions. Be was a failure. Old and tough. Underdoce, my voahine said a shade to venerable I said. Give me pungency and tenderness for a combination. Onions and infancy is my idea of comfort. But here comes a dish which you will like, my good haolt baked dog and yams project your teeth in this direction, and nip this slice from the contrivance you call a fork. A man, if he be anything of an epicure, is bound to like this dish. It is, par excellence, the national dish no 'utu is complete! without it. A luau is a graad feast, ray friend that is what tbe word means. Do you know that the edible dog of this land is a perfectly proper and elegant beast for human consumption ! It is even so. He is never, never allowed to touch meat. He is fed wholly on poi a strictly vegetable diet. He is reared in the house sleeps with his owner, male or female -rides horseback with them travels in the boat with them is their inseparable pet and companion. They love him tenderly in life, and in death they turn not away from him. They eat him. They stuff bis body foil of plaintains, bananas, yams, and other dainties, and cook him among hot stones buried in a hole in the ground. Not a breath of the aroma, not a drop of he combined juices escapes. Yon peoole don't know how to cook. No, as I was saying, the Kanakas experimented a good deal on the missionaries, in tbe interest of science, and thus the experiments were generally fatal, though I urged them not to äste the missionaries, for we could not know when we would have another lot Bat among those that surviv d was Williams, and it was he that sent home those damaging reports to ye nr country, in wb'ch he ppoke of tbe treatment of his brothers in a peevish, fault-finding spirit, ill becoming to bis sacred calling. I suppose your people believed every word of it, and just jumped to the conclusion that we were a bad, inhospitable race. Never explained about Johnson's ears, perhaps ? never told -hy I killed that other fellow ? -confound me, it does seem to me that some people take pleasure in misrepresenting things, and bringing obloquy upon their fellow creatures. Sometimes I feel as if I had rather be dead and at rest The world seems so shameless in its judgments, and one's life is so embittered by the malicious criticisms of those whose hearts are not in sympathy with him. " "It teas pitiful u that Williams, after all yon had done for his party." jl should say so ! But never mind, let US b cheerful anyway. How are you making out ! Let me help yon to a fried plain -tain. Take some more of tbe pup ? No ? Try some of the human being ? Bv George this fellow is done to a charm. You'll like him. He was a Frenchman splendid chap young and hale and hearty, beautiful to look upon. Do you prefer white meat or dark ? Let me help you to some of the breast. Ah me, I have known this youngster for thirteen years -fished with him, swam with him, sailed with bim, gave a exxrple of my sisters and four aunts to h m. Sots. This is the process really followed la all t BUS TWant.

W. M. N10HOL8, Proprietor. I loved him. He was always good. He is good now." Taking up a fragment of bis late brother in law, the King took a bite, and then gazed long and pensively upon the remainder, till by-and-by the muscles of his month began to twitch with emotion, and presently two or three great tears welled from his i eyes and coursed down his cheeks. Then, ! in a choking voice, he murmured: "Alas, they have fried him !" I laid down the breast bone of tbe deceased and burst into tears also. Such is the sympathetic power of grief. It was nothing to me whether they fried him or ; boiled bim; it was nothing to me bow this poor foreigner was cooked ; I was only eating him out of vain curiosity, and not be- j cause I loved him. not because I lespected him, not besänne I wished to curry favor with his reiiatra s. Yet I wept "They have fried bim." said the King, j 1 'Alas, poor Gallier. However, let us cheer j up, let us be content But I will have my cook for breakfast for this and I will fry j him, and see how he likes it. There is nothing like a sharp example, to teach a man, not friend. But don't be idle, sir ' take some more fried Frenchman. I ought to be ashamed to offer you such a dish, but : you see how 1 am situate-1. He ought to) have been baked this fellow ought We alway take a Frenchman we never think ' of frying him. ( But I wiah you had known ! this fellow so kind, so gentle, so loving, and you see yourself how tender he is. But that Wilhams business I wish you would straighten that up lor me when yon go back to America. If your people could only know tLc facts in the case, they would not blame mr. It is u little hard, after I have spent all these yeais in building up a good name, to have it all knocked in the bead by this shabby adventurer. Now, what he called a 'hideous revel,' and a 'feast of devils,' and ad sorts of vile and wicked names, was nothing in the world, I give you my sacred honor, but a simple barbecue- -seventeen old crippled natives, no account under the sun, just an ' expense to the community, and I fricasced th m to give a little treat to some visiting town chiefs (Aldermen you call them in your country), who were here for a day or two from Wonga Island. 'Feast of devi'.s, indeed ! Feast of dried up, skinny old rapscallions that tbe island is a thousand times better off without and 1 am sure it was honcrable in as to be hospitable to those strangers. Though between you and me it was an awful swindle on them tough, cb, don't mention it ! more cholera morbus and indigestion and general suffering among those chiefs, you never saw the like of it in your Ufe ' Now, Twain, you j 6ee how much truth there was in Wiiliams statements all that row about nothing You can set this thing right in your country you can do it easy simply just explain the facts and anything I can do ier you, I'll do it you can depend on me, j Send me a copy ot vour weekly.

"Oh what is it, Your Imperial Majesty! I beseech you ?" Hs had pprung to his feet and his fixed eyes were staring wildly at the fried meat before him. "Oh my brain ree-a ! This hair a Frenchman's hair? There mrut be some mistake! A hoiri'i suspicion bursts upon me! Ab, what is this I see? th;s thing? this accurs-ing mark! A strawberry on the left arm! - it is, it is. my long lost brother!" Alas, it was even so. It was his long-lost brother what was left of him. Poor, poor fellow, he was only fit to be shoveled into a basket and given to the poor, now. The King fell to the door insensible. He grew worse and worse, and the next day his removal to the country was ordered. Main sympathizing relatives ;.nd fr lands followed the palanquin and did hnt they coald to alleviate the sufferings of their unhappy sovereign. It turned out afterward that (he sweetheart of the Frenchman bad made a surreptitious exchange of marketing in the King's kitchen before daylight on the fatal 1 day. She had bought the King's brother from a wandering tnbe that belonged in the great wilderness at the other end of the island. She bought him purposely to make that exchange, though ot course she did not know who he was. The girl nnd tbe Frenchman escaped from the island in a canoe that very night, and were happily married, or drowned, I don't know which. I would have liked to taste that Frenchman Tbe White Mountains in Winter. A correspondent of tbe Boston Transcript j writes from North Conway, under date of toe 10th inst : "Of course the 'oldest inhabitant' har-liy remembers a winter of such mildness as this. It has, in fact, been a most remarka-: ble one, but not unprecedented. Snow storms have been plenty, but have almost invariably terminated with rain, skimming the snow over with a thin coating of ice, thus preventing the drifting by the northwest winds. There has been an average of eighteen inches on the groaud since the ; first t December, and capital sleighing and i-.iedding it has made, too. Occasioually the mercury has gone below zero, on bright sparkling, frosty mornings, and when all nature was glittering in the first light of the coming sun, it seemed a type of the perfection of the New Englaud winter climate in its joyous and most ex-1 hilerating form. "Since February came in, the mercury : has indicated eighteen below. Maple trees were Upped during the month of January, and the sap ran as Ire -1 j as it does ordinarily in Marc a and April. Sometimes when the rains were heavy and the succeeding cold sharp, what a wonderfuL coastingground was form d on every hill-side ! One j could run about everywhere on the polished 1 icy floor. "Ot course, the mountains are grand in heir winter dress, quite as much so as iu summer, and offer at times even more striking and beautiful pictures. Tbe sunrises and sunsets are especially fine, and rf is worth a journey here to see the lofty summits flushing with crimson and purple ' and gold. "But I must pause to record an event that has sent grief and mourning to every family in this valley. Many of the summer visitors here will remember with pleasure their relations with the physician of the place Dr. Dame. They will remem-! ber bis gentlemanly bearing and modest retiring manner, his clear judgment and easily won sympathy, and will learn with ! regret bis sudden death. It is indeed al most surprising to find now what a bold he bad upon the affections ot tb inhabitants of this valley, and yet not surprising i when we come to discover how nobly he had earned that love. During a period of fifteen years he has practised within a j range of twenty-five to thirty miles, being the only physician for that largo extent of territory. Capture or 300 Whales. The Lerwick correspondent of the Scotsman, writing on the 11th, says: "As some fishermen in the neighborhood of Scalloway were going to the sea this morning, they fell in with some whales, which they endeavored to drive to land. They were soon joined by some boats belonging to the West Isles, and in a short time they succeeded in driving the whales to the East Voe of Scalloway, where nearly 300 were captured before dark. I: was expected tbat the whole would be shot or driven ashore before morning, tbe moon- j light being favorable The property where they were stranded belo. ga to Mr. Hay. The place ia well adapted to tbe capture of whales, but it is very unusual for any to appear there, and also unusual for whales to be seen at this time of year; but it is fortnnate for the poor people in the district that they have come."

I FASHIONS. New Matertals, Modes, Novelties and (lov. s. m New materials for evening toilets have recently been imported, among which is gaze de Cbambery, a light silk labrie. It is in stripes, having one of white and another, ot half the width, of seme fashionable color for evening wear, as blue, green, coral, etc The most beautiful style is that with a rose-colored satin stripe, with sprays of flowers upon it, embossed in velvet This pattern is sold for S75. The u arrow stripes are ten dollars cheaper. A pretty and showy style, in gas light is tbe narrow stripes iu white and gold color, with gold color dots profusely scattered upon both stiipee. Plain silks in all the fashionable colors have been much reduced in price, and very good can be obtained at $2 per yard. A Metternich green, offered for $2.50 per yard, makes up elegantly, with trained skirt, and trimmed with rich lace; is an eff -ctive evening dress, and not expensive. Piques and percales are in market ready for the spring trade; but these are in advance of t he season, and there will probably be a larger display a few weeks later. Crepe de Chine, which was noticed on its first importation, has rapidly gained favor, and is now considered one of the fashionable fabrics of the season. It has been used for over-skirts for evening wear and fulldress occasions; but it is not intended that its future use shall be limited to these grand toilets. The manufactories atLyoi.s are making it in laige quantities, and in rich, beautiful shades, and it will be worn iu Par s for epring and summer suits. It is being made up now lor tbe most fashion able circles. The under-skirt is of rich silk, made short if intended as a street costume, the over-skirt corsage and sleeves of the de Chine, and is usually trimmed with light soft fringe of the same color or shade, or with fringe that is crimped, giving it a careless, wavy appearance. White crepe de Chine, for evening dress, is worn effectively over a black taffetas underskirt MODES. The new styles both for evening and street wear are more elaborately trimmed, and are more tasteful than the styles early in the season. Tbe trained dress is entirely out of place in the daytime, for outdoor wear, except for the carriage when making ceremonious calls. The short dress, with tunic tastefully trimmed, havirg cashes and loops, is the fashionable day costume, which is laid aside in the evening for the trained skirt. A change in fne form of the sash has been predicted - ttat it will merge into a fancy j no t frill, or postilion basque, having the ends graduated one above another. A style which prevailed near the close of the last century is to be in vogue for evening dress during the early spring. This is ye '"i-peucer," or the corsage and sleeves ji some contrasting color. A dress recently made in Paris was from a design in imi-r.:t;i-n of this old style. The Stess is of rich lavender silk, made with trained skirt with a wide flounce of lace around tbe bottom, headed by a ruche of ribbon of the same shade. The spencer is high in the neck, and is of silk of a delicate shade, something like that of sea foam in a bright sunlight. It is square a la Pompadour in front, and edged with lace wrought in tbe same designs as that up n the skirt V 1 VK LTIl S in evening dress have recently been bro't out. One of the most attractive is of light pearl-gray satin, made with long train, and having fifteen flounces, two inches wide, around tbe bottom. These ruffles are eut in small scollops and edged with narrow Valenciennes lace, and are of fine white organdy. The over-skirt is of organdy, and i- in larger scollops than the flounces of the skirt, snd trimmed with wide Valenciennes. The waist square, both front and back, the edge ornamented with raffling of white organdy. The sleeves are quite loose, and, reaching only to the elbow, are fiuished with three graduated ruffles of th' organdy. Another dress is of rose silk with a wide flounce upon the bottom of the skirt, cut in points that are edged with a white satin fold. Tnis flounce is beaded by a wide f'-'d of the silk and edgr with white. Tho over-skirt is of whit, crepe de Chine, trimmed with a narrow flounce, and the corsage is the same. IN QLOVsjj a rich assortment is proir ised for the coming season, and two or three new shades are out. A beautiful shade of rose-color, the darkest tint wrought with white, and a new shade of the "ashes-ot-roses" color are now oflered in white welt and long wrists, with two buttons, at $2.50 per pair. Ntw York Post ew Tricks Performed by the Lately Arrived Troupe of Japanese JutrK era. From tbe San Francisco BuUetln. The Royal Satsnma troupe of Japanese artists made their introductory bow to a San Francisco audience last night The fame of this company, as acrobats, jugglers, and equilibrists attracted a large audience to the theatre. The performance opened with contortion and crab-bending by a plump little fellow, about 8 years ot age, whose g.ace, agility and good nature fairly captured the house. Then cam.i the tub and ladder tricks, with a little "Ail Bight" as thu principal feature. A skillful prestidigitator swallowed a pipe while it was lighted, or attempted to make tbe audience believe be accomplished tbe feat, and subsequently drew it from his clothes. He also performed interesting tricks with eges, tops, ribbons, Ac. Tbe most startling trick in this line was the pretended swallowing of needles, one by .one, and then drawing tbem from the mouth on a long string. This was the only act where solos on ths barbarous Japanese Middle were introduced, and after the novelty of this sound wears off it can well be spared. The slack rope and wire acts were performed very acceptably by the young woman, who succeeded in putting on a dress without the aid of an umbrella in balancing. In tbe hanging pole trick, a slender lad displayed skill and strength to a remarkable degree, and set the laws of gravitation at defiance with the utmost equanimity. Tbe Oriental Hercules has jiws that would prove a sure fortune to a hotel runner. A mammoth tub with a small boy standing upon the rim, is placed near him, forimug aloAd that two men find difficulty in managing when he stoops down, sezies the tub with his teeth, and raises it high in the air. In the closing scene, a little girl, apparently five years at age, is placed upon the pinnacle of a series of block, having barely room to stand. She bends a crab, puts her head between ber feet, toward the andience, and her clothes are so arranged that they give her the appearance of a butterfly. Take it all in all, the entertainment is novel and interesting, and merits success.

Chicago, feb. 21, 1870. After a long eaon ot moderate weather, it grew ooid Friday night; on Saturday we had a driving northeast snow storm, and for the last forty-eight hours it has been very cold, tbe thermometer marking six degrees below zero this morning, tbe coldest of ths season. But it now is too lato in the season to have an old-fashioned winter, tho 1 we may have,instead,a cold and backward spring. It has been the mildeet winter thus far known to the oldest inhabitant.

At McVicker's, too, the leg business has been on the boards till the pul. .c are heartily tired of it.

WOMAS SürTsUOK. Rev. Dr. Hatneld, last week, preached a denunciatory sermon against woman suffrage and its advocates. To say that he misrepresented the friends of this measure, and libeled its advocates, is to state the case very mildiv. Coming from a party politician in a heated political canvass, it wouid not be strange. But from a minister of the Gospel, it seems less like preaching good tidings in the spint of peace on earth and good will to men, than a slanderous phidippic of cursing in the name of the Lord. A strong argument against woiuau suffrage legitimate and unobjectionable. But fair play and truthful statement! are curtesies which even a minister ehould not diedaio. Dr. Hatfield's sermon has called out two sharp replies in the Tribune. His reviewers show him little reverence, and one of them characterizes his statements as "gross and libe 1 'lis perversions of facts." THZ LA SALLE ST BEET TV N SKI. is progressing finely. Eighty f -et of tbe north s'-ction of the river is already walled up and arched over, and by the 1st of A j r.; the whole n rth part of the river will be comCleted so tbat the coffer dam can e taken up on that side and one constructed on the south side. Aboat tbirty trams and one hundred and twenty-five hands are constantly employed on th work. The part already excavated is boarded over, with canvass covering th ends, and huge stoves within keep the temperatnre abov the freezing point, so that tbe mason work proceeds uninterrupted by frost. The contract requires the completioa of the whole work by July, 1871, but it wi.l probably be finished by next January. BUSINESS. The wholesale business bouses are getting io UM :r elocks, Bonding oat their agents and circulars, and getting ready to make their anr'unct. uients preparatory to opening of spring tiade. All sortof dodges are resorted to, to induce meA&hibts to part with their monty for eWAejsjpoameQus advertising sheets and cir -ulara Papers and advertising circulars arc printed t . be given away on the rail own, nd it the hotels, or to bo i to dealer throughout the West. And what is remarkable about them, is, that tbere are never lees than ten thousand of each kind to be tindistributee. Prudent and well-posted merchants usually prefer to mail their owu circulars, and to advertise in papers having bona fide subscribers. The proprietors of one bheet, solicit ng advertisements on abase of 30,000 circulation, print just 3,000 copies ! A TYPE OF CHIGAOO. The unexampled growth r.f ChicaKO is due, not more to her portion at the head of lake navigation, and M the focus of an unequalled system of railways, than tc the character of her business men. For if it is men who constitute a Stale, it is also men and not natural nor artificial advantages who build up great cm -i anu iransioriu tue wi;ci rn a 'f tile fields and gardens. To i 'nloasu-, as to a great center, hive gravitated the active, energetic, enterprieing men from all parts of the Union, with ideas enlarged by the boundlees field open before them, the warm bloo t and growing enthusiasm of youth tempered but not chilled by tbe prudence and experience of mUurer years. There is here, in many of our leadiug business firms, that desirable union of ripe manhood and vigorous youth which combines sagacity in devising, and boldness in successful v executing, those large business plans which distinguish Chicago above all Wostern cities. It is to the young men of thisj generation of which Chicago furnishes the chief type to whom the Great West is indebted for tbe more perfect fulfillment, than even BishoD Barkley himself ever conceived of his prophecy, "W. st ward the Star of Empire takes its way. In Eastern cities, business houses reach maturity as youth do their majority, after a ssore of years. But here, business bouses are appreciated, not so much for their age as for wast they are. and whit they can do. If thev understand the wants of the Western trade, ana have the ability, foresight and skill to supply the demand, at reasonable rates, and to make these facts widely known, their success is assured. New houses, possessing these qualifications, are yearly springing up here, and at once taking a front rank among our first business houses, in the character and extent of their trade. I was forcibly reminded of this fact, lately, in meeting an old Milwaukee acquaintance, in the recently established firm of I.Y JtAJJ, PAGE A CO., manufacturers of, and wholesale dealers in boots snd shoes, who have recently removed to their splendid new store five stories high snd 165 feet deep at 84 Wabash Avenue. Their third business year shows a trade of $600,000 extending alfover tie Northwest to the Pacific Slope. Mr. 8eyaour Lyman, the senior partner, resides at Boston, superuteudiog their large mant factory , and improving every opportunity to purchase Easte n goods advantageously for the Chicago hf use. Hr. Thomas Tage, who came into the firm last July, had, for some eight years, conducted the am- business successfully in Milwauke e, ranking among the most substantial business men of that city. His experience and business relatious with the trade of the Northwest, make him a most valuable accession to the firm. The younirer members of tbe firm, Mr. A. C. Aklricb, for f inrteen years, and Mr. W. C. Lincoln for seven years past,engaged here as clerks, salesmen sad proprietors, are wide awake, active, resolute young men, thoroughly acquainted with the business and business men of the West, and representing the class of men who have made Chicago the Head Centre of trade and enterprise for the whole Northwest. With abundant means, an ample steck adapted to the wants of the trade, thorough business habit?, strict integrity and attention to business, and rare skll in making all these ele ments of success mutually profitable to them selves and their customers, the large trade they have built up in two or three years is a

proof of fair dealing in the past, and a pledge know why and how this transformation? of increasing business in the future. Let Mauriee tell you.

For :.iany years Mr. Green has been at a loss to account for tbe enormous destruction pt very small trout, but h has now aat itained the cause. He says in regard to the matter: "There is a small worm whicn is a favorite food of trout and many other Lindsof fish. This worm is one of the pre..'' st enemies which the young fry have. j It spins a web in the water to catch young fish j jus; as a spider does on land to catch flies, I T h aeen thm mo.k atsa wh and rW , .n Jh.

Itis maxk u quickly and in the same way as a spider's, by fastening the threads at different points, and going back and forth until the web is finished. The threads are not stroug enough to hold the young trout after the umbilical sac is absorbed, but tbe web will stick to t'.c fins and get around the head and gills, and soon kills tbe fish. I hav often seen it on the young trout, and it h . been a great mystery, and caused me mauy hours, and days, and weeks of wonder to find out what was wound arounü the heads r.nd fins of my young trout and killed tbe . I did not find out until lately, while wat-ning recently hatched whitefiah. IVssl are much smaller than the trout hu they begin to swim, and they were caught and held by tbe web. I found ten smt.il whitefibh caught in one web in one nig' it. The web was spun in a little whitefish preserve, into which I had put one hnn-ired young fish. The threads spun by this worm seem to be much finer than tbe common spider's web, and they are not visible in tbe water until tbe sediment collects upon them. They can be seen very plainly. 1 h- webs cannot be spun where tbere is mach current, and can easily be seen in s'i: '. water by a close observer. JIark Twain's Wedding A Surprise. It t'ad been arranged that Mr. and Mrs. Clemens shou'd proceed at once to their botudiDg-house, on arriving in Buffalo from Elmira, while the rest of the wedding patty were to be domiciled at the Tift House. The securing of a desirable, genteei home in a private family had been del- ; eg-.; "d to an intimate fnend and resident ot Buffalo, who, understanding the tastes ant! requirements of the young couple, would of course be the person to make for j them judicious arrangements. Mr. ClemI en, having been absent on his lecturing tour for the past few months, accepted the assurance that everything had been attended to. At he depot hearty "good-nights" were exchanged, the larger party driving to the hotel, the bride a:d groom taking a carriage for more quite quarters. Stopping in front of a modest but very attractive brick house in the upper part of Delaware Btreet, Mr. Clem- .?!- -!a i2Mt.o,rh 1 1 n t t in wo.l trt ho in . 1 .ti i kh u ,v, ,f . , . rte TS.

For once tbe fun-loving Mark tailed in repartee, and mi -tened eyes spoke deeper tbf.nks than words. Not ning that love or wealth could suggest or supply was wanting to make the scene the fulfillment of the poet's dream, from the delicate blue Baliu drawing-room to the little sanctum quite apart, with its scarlet upholstery, amid the pretty adornments of which inspiration must often come to its happy occupant. Cleveland Hera I ,. What a Fairy can Do. Jolly Maurice Flyun, ss we used to call bim, years gone by, when hi filled the same important office he does now town constable, related yesterday to a small circle of interested friends a very singular incident that happen d in the town of Limerick, Ireland, when he was a boy in tbat hand of "potheen and praties." There was a neighbor whose wife was taken ill with a peculiar sickness, wholly unknow to the doctors of that region round about She was obliged to take to her bed at once, and in an instance, as it were, became reduced to almost a skeleton. What little flesh did remain with her, became livid and cadiverous. For seven long years she never rose from tbat bed once. Her disease created a peculiar appetite. She ate but very little and seemed to receive tbe most of ber sustenance from a hot pot of milk, boil d at midnight, eavsh night. Her husband, who was a patient creature, used to get up every night, winter and summer, during the seven long years, and boil that pet of milk and give it to her. One night, the last time he had to do it, he got up to boil the pot ot milk and was just in the act of raking out the smothered turf to blow it up into the necessary glow, when some unearthly thing caught him by tbe legs for he had forgotten to put on his breeches and snaked him from the hearth. Frightened almost to death, be crawled under tbe bed snd spilled the milk over the floor. He remained under the bed until morning, when he crawled iut again with fear and trembling, fearing he might encounter Old Nick er one of his imps. At first he was afraid to look at the bed, lest he should see his wife lying there strangled by the fiend, but he did muster courage, and look when, wonderful to re late there she lay, not strangled, nor etna ciateci, nor cadaverous, but plump and as fresh as a daisy. The reader may desire to night broke the spell and the fairy was compelled to exchange places and restore tne rightful wife to her home äÄS vas-vw. v vuit w va iaj iur n iv-s uaiuaii'uf proposes shall be adminstered thronsb the country on the 22d of February: "We, tbe undersigned, do pledge our truth, faith and honor that we will not use intoxicating hquor as a beverage nor traffic in them; that we will not furnish them as an articl. of entertainment, or for persons in our employment, and that in all suitable ways we will discountenance their use."

MACK ARRET'JS TKA-PARTY Mrs. Ma 'Garret was an Attic cat, and lived in the garret, but Mrs. O'Cellary lived -in the cellar. Mrs. MacGarret bed three children, and Mrs. O'Cellsry had three children. Mr. MacGarret had gone away, and so had Mr. O'Cellary. Mrs. MscOarret's children were all of age, and Mrs. O'Cellary'a wore all of age. The MacGarret children were named Spotty MacGarret and Tabby Macgarret and Tilly MacGarret The O'Cellary children were named, the first, Dinah O'Cellary, after its mother; the second, Thomas O'Cellary, after its father; and the third, BengalTiger O'Cellary, after one ot their grand relations. One day Mrs. Garret said to he children: "My dears, I have decided to Lave com pany this afternoon. I shall invite Mm. O'Cellary and her family. Behave well or you will be punished. At supper eat the poor itt, and give the best to the oompany. Be very quiet, and never interrupt That you may look your very best, I shall put up your tails iu curl papers. Now don't cry if I pull Rome." And they shut their mouth tight, and never uttered a sound. 'Good children!" said MacGarret. "Now you may go down and invite tbe company.' "What, in curl papers !'' cried Spotty. "O, not in curl papers !' cried Tabby. "You can't mean in curl papers P cried Tilly. "There'H no Ulling who might see us." said Spotty. P rhaps the Gray Squirrel peeping out of his cage ; I should be so mortified. " "Or the Parrot," said Tabbv. "And so should L " "Or the new Lap dog,'' said Tilly. "And ho should I." "True," said their mother. "You can't go in curl-papers. I'll step down myself." "But we're afraid to stay alone." cried Snotty and Tabby and Tjllv' "D?n't go P "Don't go P "Don't go !' And each held up her forepaw and begged and prayed and wept "Poor darlinp P cried Mrs. MacGarret. 'How can I leave you ? Now. if we were but good friends with Mr, Bat, bow easily lie could do the errand ! for yonder rathole leads to the cellar straight" "Can't you speak dwn to her ?" asked Tabby. "I think you might speak down,'' raid TubbY. "Do nf-enk down," cried miy. "To be sure, 1 Faid Mrs. MacGarret. "Of course I can. "Tis often done in hotels. What smart children you are !" Then Mrs. MacGarret spoke down and invited Mrs. O'Cellary and her family to tea at seven o'clook. And Mr t. O'Cellary answered up that they would be most happy. Quarter before seven the were taken out. "Charming P cried Mrs. "All stand in a row, that curl papers MacGarrett I may see. Charming ? Don't move !" At seven o'clock O'Cellary arrived with all her children, and two young cousins, who were paying her a visit, and it was a grand occasion, supper was laid out on a black leather trunk, bordered with brass nails, and nothing could have been more elegant. Now this is what Mrs. MacGarret s t before them for supper: first, mouse; second, scraps; third, codfish dried ; fourth, squash in the rind, brought up from the kitchen in the dead of the night Mrs. MacGarret lamented that she was out of milk, but their saucer was Ucked dry at dinner, and the milkman had not be- n round But the company all said they seldom t ok milk, and that everything was lovely. The talk was very entertaining, being mostly about a little mouse, who wonld peep out of his hole at them, but popped back again the minute they stirred. They also talked much of the boy. A new little whip had been given him, and the whip he used freely. Traveling through tbe passages was really quite unsafe. "We were in great danger coming up, I assure vou," said Mrs. O'Cellary. "Very great danger, ma'am, said Thomas. "We ran for eur lives, ma'am," said BengalT. "Be not so forward to speak in older company," whispered Mrs. O'Cellary. After supper a neighbor dropped in from the next attio, bringing her children, and there was a very merry party. And all would have gone well, but Tabby MacGarret, who did not do the right thing. This is how it happened: All the mothers sat down on a spinning wheel, to have a cosey talk, while the children had great sport with the funny little mouse. First he would peep out of his hole and wink at them, and when they all jumped for him he would dodge back again, and next they knew, his little black eyes would be peeping out from another bole. Then they would jump again. But he always popped back jast ;n time, "Now do come out little mousey, and play with us," they said. "0, I know you very well," said little m ousey. 'I like this better. " Now Mrs. MacGarret, had given the ch'ldren all that was left at supper, to divide among themselves. They chose one to divide it, and Tabby MacGarret was the one chosen. Pretty soon Spctty saw her clap something under her paw, in a very private way, and guessing that all was not right she stepped S"ftly round behind, and just bit the end of her tail. This made Tabby lift up her paw, and then -the-- all saw ! She had taken the best piece for herself !!! ! Such a time as there was t "O shame P "Shame V "Shame P cried Spotty and Tommy and Dinah. "And Shame P cried Bengal Tiger O'Cellary. And they all hissed and sputtered, and Tabby ran down the garret stairs with all the others after her, and all the mothers behind. The boy was standing in the passage with his new whip, and he snapped it and cracked it and slashed it and lashed it till they were frightened out of their wits, and scampered to hide where best they could. But Tabby got the smartest blew A tbem all. And it was in this way that Mrs. MacGarret's tea party was broken up. Man. M. A Diaz. "Millie Hopper's" Laeky Valentine. BT KAY V. KIDDER.

Poor Millie ! she never could think who gave her her funny name, until Granny Dow told her. It seems that the miller, tn going into the mill early one morning, found a baby in one of the hoppers of the mill, which might have been ground up with the corn, but for the miller's timely appearance. So wn-pping it up in an old blanket, he carried it home to his wife, who fed it with milk, and kept over night. And that's how Millie got her name. The miller was poor, and had six children of his own to support, 60 the little waif was sent to the nearest poor-house. "Not but what I'd like to keep her," said the miller's wife; "she has such a swet face, and looks so like a high born ehild. But if people will leave their babies to the mercy of the world, they must expect 'em to be taken to the poorhouse. " And to the poorhouse little Millie went, and was there brought up until she was ten years of age. The last family where Millie went to "work for her board and clothes" was wealthy and had two beautiful little girls, named Nelly and Maud, dressed always in taste and fashion a strange contrast to poor Millie's faded calico dress. But any stranger coming suddenly upon the three children would say Millie had the sweetest face of them all with her fair complexion, bright blue eyes, and curling, nut-brown hair - and there was a certain natural grace about her, in spite of her scanty clothing and pale face. St Valentines day dawned bright and beautiful over the hills, and, although tbe ground was covered with snow it seemed t ) make no difference to the postman, who laden with Valentines of every sort, wms wending his way from house to house, making glad mmiy ht arts among the young people. Three timtx rtlrfady that morning had he rang the bell. each time with a Valentine for Nelly and Muud; apd poor .Millie who was washing dishes in the kitchen. crnld peep ont ot the window and s-e the poetman ascend the steps of tbe houses opposite, with Valentines for Mai v Hrown and Flattie Smith. "O ! how I wish I oo'ild c t jne'" mghed Millie, as she wiped tbe last breakfast oup, "Nelly and Msud's .re so beautiful, with their lovely gold and silver angels and bright flowers ! I think heaven must look something like them. I should think Willie Dow might Bend me one, when I found his ball for bim or Johnny Pratt when I bound up his finger that he squeezed in th) gate." Just then a vigorous ri:i' came to the door. "A Valentin-? for u, Millie," cried Maud, running dowu t.-irs. '-Who c mld send you one ?" Poor Millie's heart was in a llutl r. "Who could, indeed V But than it W large as life: "Misa Millie Hopper." She tore open then envelope, Nelly and II tud looking over her shoulder in woudi-r. But lo ! instead of a real Valentine, it proved to be a loDg letter which Millie, (who had never b-en to school) could not read; but Maud read it for h r. and it ran thus: .Mt Dtai Child I I avef iind jou at !s-t.
