There's a grim one-horee hearso in ajoiiy round trot; To the church-yard a pauper is going,! wot:     • The rond it is rough and the hearsa hM no springs. And bark lo tho dirge which;tho sad driver sings: "Rattle Uis bonea over tbe stones,: '. *¦ Hc*sunly a pauper whom nobody owns!" "
uh, where aro tho mourners t alas! there are none; He has left not a gap ill tho world, now he's gone ; Not a toar in the oye of child, woman or man, "i'o (ho grave with his carcass as fast as yon con ;
•' Rattle his bones over tha-atones;
He's only a pauper whom nobody owns!"
What ajoUing and creihing; and splashing and din; The whip how it cracks! aiid the Trheelahow lhey

How tho dirt, right and loft, o'or the hcJgM ifl

Poor pauper defunct! he has made some approach To gentility, now that he's atrotcbcd in a coacb! He's taking a drive in hia carriage at lost: Hot it will not bc long, if he goes on so last
" Rattle his bones over the stones;
He'a only a pauper whom nobody owns!
But a trace to this atr.iin ; for my soiil it is sad To think that a heart, in humanity clad. Should make, like the brato. such a desolate end. And depart from tbe liglit. without leaving a'fneod!
••Bear soft his bones over tho atones;

From Godey's Lody'B Bbok for October.
How Peter "Sold" the Politician.
It may readily be imagined that eo great a blunderer as my friend Peter Mulrooney did not long retain any particolar situaiion. Handy as he undoubtedly was atony kind ol work princi¬ pally demanding the uae of the shovel, his exploits in general farming made even the " nay- gura the hayihens," who were hia peculiar aver¬ sion, stand and look on, at timea, with open- mouthed wonder. It, waa therefore, no surprise to me to learn that, shortly after Peter's unlucky attempt tofiive Black Fhillie the bran mash intended for the black filly, he had quitted the service ofmy old achool-fellow, Stanley, " dis¬ charged the young master !*' as he subsequently called it, and had accepied the superintendance ofa gang of workman on a railroad, at that time in course of conatruction through the election district in which I reside. I say " through the eleciion district," in preference to indicating the locality oi the work in any more precise way, because tbe incidental am 9bout to relate refer solely to the politics ofthe neighborhood.
In his new position Peter was in his element, for not only were the laborers along the line his own countrymen, bul, better still for Peter's pugnacious disposiiion, they were divided into those rival lactions which eo long agitated our part of the couniry, under the names of the_ Cor-' konians and the Fardowns. Of the latter body Peier speedily became the acknowledged leader; andit is but jusiice to soy tbat the post inhis hands was no sinecure. Brawls and bickerings muUiplied with aingular rapidity; and in the faction 6ghia which followed, Peter was always the firat to commence, and the last to leave ofi. But ifthis condiiion of thinga was fun for Peter it vras a serions annoyance to the contractors,' who, alter vnin expostulaiions with the belliger' ems, had more than once been compolled'tocal' upon the sheriff wilb an armed force of militia, to quell thedisturbance. How many heads Peter broke, on theae grand occasions for display, it would be diflicult to enumerate. Certain how¬ ever it is that, if bold undaunted exposure and' vigorous personal exertion be worthy ol honora- ble mention, Peier Mulrooney'a heroiam should be ranked with thatof Harney's atCero Gordo Riley's at Contreras; Quitman's at the Garita Belen ; and eapecialiy wilh. that ol Walker at Huamantla. Bul cs Samson was shorn of hia etrengih by the loss of his long locks, even so was Peier finally reduced to a condition of com¬ parative weakocds by diaraissal from ofiice, and separation from his companions, who were trans- lerred to a distant section.
Il was aboul this time, and before my friend Mulrooney's loss of authoriiy was generally known, that an eleciion appioached for various county offices, and among othera for that of dis¬ trict aitorney.
As the latter office waa rather a lucrative one, there was, nalurally enough, quite an array of eager candidatea, who were far more reapecta¬ ble for their numbers than for the scope or pro¬ fundity oftheir legal allainmenta.
Prominent among these hungry aspirants was a pompous, pragmatical, pettifogging *'limb " whom I shall take the liberty of calling Jones. This respectable young gentleman being, inhis own estimalion', admirably fitted for the office, look the liberty of blowing his own trumpet, and with no stinted breaih, at thevarious prelimi¬ nary meetings which were held during the pro¬ gress of the canvas.
Jones, however, was not disposed to rely wholly upon the popular opinion ofhis ability, bul endeavored tomake "assurance doubly sure' by laking such other meana of securing ama- jority as the importance ofihe occasion and tbe pertinacious opposition of his rivals seemed lo demand. Now there is engrafted upon the new eonstitulion of our State a certain clause hearing upon the puriiy of eleciions, which inflicts, or threatens to inflict, a serious penalty upon all ihoae candidates for office, who seek, directly or indirecily, toiampcrwithavoter. OithisJones waa perfectly aware; but the sturdy characier of the oppposiiion seeming lo render his prospecia ralher glouniy, iie felt disposed to risk lhe con¬ sequences, by enlisting a uumber of tnialy agenis, whose votes and influence migbtdo him good aervice at the polla.
As tlie name of Peier Mirlrooney had become quile famous in " all lhe couutry round*' forthis exploits at the head ofthe Fardowns, it occurred to Jones that just such a man, on an occasion like thai of a hotly coniesied election, wouldbe in¬ valuable ; and accordingly he acied upon the precept of wonhy Mrs. Grass, who aays, very wisely, that a haro requires lo be caughibefore it is cooked- "First catch your haro," says she ; and Mr. Jones, acknowledging the forco of the suggestion, after making some preliminary arrangemenls wuh certain of hia friends, rode across the couniry one fine morning lo beat the quarters ot our blundering friend.
Financial mailers had never, at any period of his uanaatlaniic BOJourn,been in a very flourishing cjndiiion wiih Peier; but at ihia time, owing to the loss ofhis employment, and the removel ol his Iriends, he was, to use his own expression, " claned out enihirely." Under these discour¬ aging circumsiances, Jones found some trouble

¦ Mr Jones stniled compIacenUy. He ihought he discerned in Peier, from his apparent stupid¬ ity, and his known fightitig qualitiea, a very use¬ ful ally, while Peter was playing with Mr. Jonea, pretty much after lhe fashion of a boy wilh a chafer, lying quietly a thread rounri his leg, and then letting him fly buzzing away, but only to ihe length oflhe airing. ¦   ,
Mr. Jones, however, did not know this. Mr. Jones indeed knew mihing of Iriah character. He wanted on agent, and all he thought it nec¬ essary to do waa to buy. him. Mr. Jones had, great faith in the dollar. He would have sold himself for rather over five. At preseni, how¬ ever, he was ih search of a cominOd iiy.
Isee'you don't knowme,,MuIrooney," said he, singling pleasantly. Hati he been more of aphysiognomiat, he might have.seen ihat Peter did know him at the first glance ; not only b^ name, btit had read him through and through. Knew him from the cfown.of his glossy silk hat to lhe aolep^of.his patent leather boois, and that Peter Mulrooney—didn't like hira. '' I see you don't know rae, Mulrooney," Jones repealed, aa Peter stood leaning againt the rickeiy fence. with his eyescaaton the ground.
' Och!" said Peter, evasively, "many'stbe gintlemon I've seen to the fore, an'I does be thinkin* yer face isn't sihrange to me." " Jonea 13 myname,"said the candidate, softly. I anv .canvassing the disirict for the oflice of States Attorney for the couniy. There are several others out, who really appear to believe themselvea qualified to fill so honorable a post; but. indeed, between you and me, Mr. Mulroo¬ ney, they are"—Mr. Jones shrugged his shoul¬ der significantly, ^d aa Peter winked, as much as to say, "I know what ye mane," the gentle¬ manly cantiidate continued: '* So I ihought it waa myduty to make your acquaint nee, {Mr Mulroo¬ ney—not to influence your vote, ol conrse."
Oh begorra!" Peter broke out, " 'twouldn't be aisy to do that, any way, I does be thinkin'.'' Surely not," aaid Mr. Jones; " and I honor you the more for your sturdy determinalion. It is upon the foundation of such men as you, my friend, that the pillars of democracy are firmly based."
I beg yer pardon, Misther Jones," said Pe¬ ter, looking aa stupid as possible; "but what was lhat ye wor sayin' about lhe foundation? If ye wanl a good one dug ont, clane an' nate, sure there isn't a handier boy in the "wide wureld wid the pick an' the shovel than myself."
I'll lell you what, Mulrooney," said Jones, now thrown wholly ofi" fais guards " if the people elect me, ii will be eood for thera. Don't you think it is a firatrate thing to have a friend in court I"
" Sure there's no denyin' thai," responded Peier, with alacrity ; " it bates the wureld for good luck."
, "A very aensible answer," responded Jones, with an approving nod. "Yes," he added, with an oralorical flourish of. his scented hand¬ kerchief, " the poor raan shall find in me a friend and a protector. Should X be honored wiih the aitorneyahip, wealthy avarice ehall never ride, rough-abod, over the bone and sinew ofthe land. They alone are nature's noblemen, air; aud our glorioua institutions are ihc workof iheirhands." Och ! but that's the beautifulleat spache," said Peter, enihuaiastically ; " an maybe, Mis- ther Jones, ye'll be afiher geitin' yer deaarts afore long."
Peter waa loo cunning to aay what he ihought those *' deaarta" ought to be ; and Jonea, hap¬ py in the belief that he had raade a favorable impresalon, interpreted Peler's enigmatical compUment according to hia own wishes.
Mulrooney," said he,'* do you think you could spare lirae to dtne witfa me to-day V"
Peter rubbed his cfain doubtfully. " Tisn'i' aisy 10 aay," he replied, slowly; "ihere's Miaiher Urbin as lives at the Grange, three miles across, an' I"—
" Oh, nevermind seeing him !" exclaimed Jones, quickly, "he's not on our side. Come, jump into my carriage, and Ietme tool you over lolhe'Bell.' I faave ordered an excellent din¬ ner there, and you will meet a few friends, to whom I am desirous of introducing you. Who knows what benefii it may be to you ?"
Peier made various excuses, bnt they were all overruled, one after another. Atlength he suflered his bashfulness to be overcome, and presently found himself trundhng acrosa the smooih country road towards ihe place of ren¬ dezvous. A. ride of half an hour brought thera to the "Bell," a fine old-fashioned tavern, stan-, ding at the junction of the roads leading to TompkinsviUeand Saddleton. Almost imme¬ diately on hia arrival, he waa iniroduced, wilh due formality, to Messieurs Tims, Mims, Biras, and Bibo, all members of more than one bar, andiheespecialfriendsof Mr. Jones, the can¬ didaie.
Dinner was served in fine style, and Peter look extraordinary care to proviaion fais particu¬ lar fortress with an assiduity which spoke won- ders for his appetite, and was equally honorable to his digeative powers. Atlength, however, fae reluctantly declared faimself satisfied, andthe debris waa removed. Hiiherlo Peter had been loo busily euRaged in storing away the supplies to waste the precious timo in making set speech¬ es ; but wfaen tfae wine vras brought in, fae ven¬ tured to suggest tfaat he ahould prefer '• a taate o' the native, iaatid of tbe forrin stuff wid the outlandish names," and his peculiar penchant was speedily gratified.
With his favorite potheen before him, Peter made.himself quite at home; replied awkward¬ ly when fae waa spoken to ; but oifaerwise paid but litde atlention to dockets, ca. sa.'a, fi. fa.'s and the numberless other legal terms witfa wfaich the convetsaiiouof hia companions was inter¬ larded. ¦
Afier a while, Jones T/inked at his compan¬ ions, who promptly acknowledged the precon¬ certed signal by filUng tfaeir glasses.
" Here'e to your very gbod faealth, Mr. Mul- rooney !" said the candidate. ¦
" Many thanks to ye," responded Peter, de¬ murely ; " sure it's well an' heartfay I am, bar¬ ren* a hatfaeral wakeneafl ofthe digestive fack- iliies, an* a touch of the rbeuraatiz."
" Your hoaltfa, Mulrooney !" said Tims, wiih a profound bow.

" I ihought aa much. Willyou do mo the favor to aceept this len dollar piece .' I like to encourage modeat merit, and I ihougbt lhat, perhapa, a little loose cEsh migfat be of service to you. Understand me, Mulrooney; I give you this freely, and as a matter of friendly feel¬ ing, and not asa candidate for office."
" 'Tis the real guilieman ye are, Miaiher Jones, an' I'll be proud tosarve ye. Would ye j like to hiro a handy boy that can bale all Con- j naught at anaie job of work ?'*
" ru think about it afierthe election," re-' plied Jones, moving away. " Oh, by the by," j he added suddenly, *' I need not ask you, I sup- \ pose, to bring all your friends wilfa you to tfae ; polls, and, perhaps, il would be>esllor youlo' vole early!" \
" Anan ?" said Peter, looking unutierable stupid.
"I think lhey had all beuer do so," says Tims.
" Augh ! 'tis there )e are afther all!" mut-1 tered Peter, with a queer twinkle ofhis eye that j augured anything but siccess for tfae macfaina- j tions of Jones and his lackers. j
" Oh yes," said Mine, "by all means vote early."
" Frinds ! vote ! Did ye mane me V inquir-i ed Peter, assuming an c.-cpression of thc utmosi: perplexity.
" Not you alone, bul your fi-iends also., It is a mailer of great conaecuence that we sfaould make tfae etrongest kini ofan eflbrt."
** 'Deed ! but that's thrue, I does be think- in'," responded Peier,:3lowly ; " but how will I vote. I'd iike to knov ?"
" Vole ? why as othir people do !"
" Ayeh • that's aisy.to say ; bul"	
" But what 1 out wiij it."
" iSorm hii am J nathsralized .'" aaid Peter.
Here waa a pretiy breakdown in lhe political machinery ofMr. Jonet. He waa fairly caught in his own trap ; and his dinner, his wines, and his ten dollar gold piec^, all given for nothing. Tims, Mims, Biras, end Bibo stufled their handkercfaiefs in tfaeir ntouihs. As for Jones, fae could scarce resirain his rage ; but fae man- aged to Btaramer out—
" Oh come, Mulrooney ! this is no lime for joking; don't I know \ery well you faave a vote?"
"Musha, thin ! it's more than I does be know- in' myself," said Peter.
** Well, then," said Jenes, desperately, *' you can surely bring up jtour friends, the Far- downs I"
Oh begorra !" said Peter, carelessly, "but ita few frienda I have any way ; an' thim\t in another countkry !"
Tims whistled for an invisible dog; Mjms hummed "the light of otler days;" Bims was taken suddenly wilh a vejy severe fit of cough¬ ing ; aud Bibo waa looking steadfastly at some¬ thing in the meadow which no one could aee bul himaelf.
" Come, genllemen," said Jones, "letus go. I can raake nothing out of this fool of an Irish¬ man."
" Bedad!"said Peter, turning on hia faeel, ** I'd be a fool if ye did. The dirty spalpeen, to think of bribin' a ginileman of anahent discent, wid a dinner, an' a ten dollar goold piece.— Augh ! maybe fae'd like me to condiscind to demandmyself by givin'him his money back. Troth ifhe livea till that iime he'll be theould- esi roan in this part oflhe wureld, an' that's no lie."
Dear reader, Mr. Jones waa not elected.

SPaulBubblebroke was apoor man. Hia pock¬ ets were nearly empty, and his head—bul his faead may have contained more than people gave faim credit for. He was ingenious eneugh to confess that fae had no genius; bm he always asserted ihat foriune had never given faim fais deserts, even in tfae face of the confectioner's bills.
Yei hu was not exactly reduced to the condi¬ tion of tho unfortunate wrelch who had '* no frienda, no country, no home;" for he had plen¬ ty of firiends, " iho besi fellows in the world" - if wo may judge by the cordial handsfaakes at fais wife's partiea, when the champagne was flowing f fae had a.country whicfa acknowledged' hira—on election days, wfaen the aldermen took off Ifaeir hata lo faim, and on training days, when fae was allowed to enjoy all the " pride, pomp and circumstance ot glorious war" with a ruaiy muskei on his shoulder. As for his home if we may beliove a landlord's advertisement, it was a " two-siory basement, ond subcellar house, furnished witfa alt the modern improvementa, and suitable for a young married pair. N. B.— a fimited number of babies allowed." Now, Paul had five Utile cherubs in pinafores, three of wbom had been carefully smuggled into the worid tor fear of the landlord's finding them out. How Paul irembled when quarter day came.— He fell like the owner of contraband goods, and was really ashamed of his wife Ior committing a swindle whichoU ibose Multhusians, the own¬ ers of houses, condemn.
To make both ends meet, Paul kept a meal store " somewhere down i.own," tho profile of which were eaien—wc can't help the bull—be¬ fore they were made. Paul otten regretted his bachelor days, for he found to his cost that every uew miniature Bubblebroke had to be fed, clo¬ thed, and cured ot the measles, and ali such in- fahiile enjoyments aa Nature provides, tfaat dociors and sexions may thrive. When he paid tfae former's long billa for. blue pills, how he sighed to be rich!—as rich aa .old Spermy, tfae oilman next door, wfao fancied himaaU a whale araong minnows, and walked, through tfae streets us if he had swallowed an ingoi of gold sharp ai both enda. His slock roae so high tfaat he could uot look down, althougfa he sometimes nodded lo Puol when he, priced a calf's head; and aaid, " How d'ye do ? " in a tone- that did noiwaii to be told. He could eat up a barrel.of i>\i every day for his dinner, and put a «argo of oil on lbe back ol his wife, and noi know it was there—iis value, we mean,nothing more; for hie,wife was avery small woman, a wearer of floiincea and diamonds—French ones, 'twas said and a suhana shawj,. worth over a thousand dol-" laru^ leaat, andldaltciously soiled.

How\hes'eqatb'i*ifks iricreased^Paul's desire to be ricfa !'""bnt' he could riot discover a way lb accompliah^ his ^isfa;' In "vain he" wearied his brainfor ideas wfaich'Teia^edi like cbalk eggs, to be hatched. Le8a>-fruitful by far than'^the mountain in'labor, fao'^uld not produce even the mouse-^ne that WOiild live. He tried, os Dutch butchers do/to'make sausagea out of tne scrii^s of his stall; but the measles begad tO prevail in the.town, wfaich made peoplo-shy of auch food. He offered for sale a quack rnedi- cine; but tfao. blind horse upon wfaom it was tried unluckily. died in a fit, and so tfae pre¬ judiced public.rejecjed the nosirum at once.— Then he.prepared an infallible dye for the faair, and Broadway becarae filled wiih red whiskers, whicfa used up tfae dye,-.and almost used up poor Paul himsiilf; for the ihreata "of unfortunate dandies nearly ffigfatened him out of fais life.'-T- As it was, fae had serious'thoughts of abscond¬ ing. California dwelt in his thoughis all day long, and he found himself shouldering the pick axe. and shovel, and pan in his dreams. Many a digging lie left to dandle tfae last bf ihe Bub¬ blebroke copies about throngh the night. The treasures he lost in tfaat way were—count lesa, indeed. To think of it made, him as cross—as cross—aa the child.
While fae was tfaua struggling for fortune inj vain, some public philanthropists heard of fais name—from " Dozzet's Directory," perhaps— and began to thitik for him, aa theyhad thought for othera before. From them he one day re¬ ceived a letier, post paid. It contained a Mary¬ land lottery schOrae, the most magnificent one ever drawn. At leaat the circular said so; and, as ithad said the aame thing for years, no one could doubt the assertion, especially as it was printed from stereotype plates. In tiuth, it was such a dazzling scfaeme tfaat Paul rubbed fais eyes as Aladdin did in lhe cave, and read it again and again, to be sure that there was not some trick. But there was none. Tfae scfaeme was really a scfaeme—to make money, which some one, ofcourse, was to loae.   The Stale, for.iia
share of the plun profii, we mean, gave a
pledge that some one would pay, and appointed an agent to see ifaat tfae drawing was—primed wfaen done. Was. not that fair? The lottery was the " Grand Solid" one, lor improving the morals of Congress, or aome other purpose equally needful and good. There was a prize of seveniy thousand dollars, with three notes of admiration, and aeveniy thousand blanks with¬ out any; tfae blanks being counted as "nothing to no one," ofcourse. Every man, woman, or child who could raise ihirly dollars to send to the roaoagei's agenia woald be allowed a chance for the prize—and no questiona asked if the money came from the till.
Paul swallowed the bail, as thouaanda do ev- '. cry day. He felt a sudden conviction iliui the prize was intended for him. Foriune, ihejaao, was about to repair her neglect. He would soun be enabled to "turn up his nose" higher tlian ever Spermy had done. . He would cut his meat shop to cut a figure in society. Money would carve the way for faim. Seveniy thousaud doU lifts! Wfaat could fae not buy, if he won that amount ? Why he could give hia betier half— by ten pounds—a. sfaawl that would cause ;the oilman's wife lo "dwindle, peak and pine" with envy, and   curtain lecture ber spouse.   •
Having read in some book, or heard—for fae did not read much—that " the lide taken at the flood leads on to foriune," he resolved to plunge boldly intoa atream thai promised such golden resulls. With part of the money laid by for his renl, he purchased a ticket—a wfaole ono. A faalf or a quarter would never have done. Hia desires faad already expanded so mucfa.
The efiect oflhat small hieroglypfaical paper, thai homosopathic prescription of chance, was moat surprising on Paul. When he had made it securely his own, he could not admire il enough. Its numbers ^were constantly finding their way to his lips, and whenever he laid it aside, an eager deaire to persue its eloquent face demanded indulgence every half hour. Its ac¬ iion was like a galvanic battery, and kept him continually moving aboui. Wfaen he thrust it inio faia pocket to wait on a customer, he smiled so complacently that tfae old maid whose wants ho eupplied went out of the store impressed wilh a belief lhat ho had a design on her poor, withered heart, frora which a small timid blos¬ som peeped out, and exhaled its chilled life in a aign. He became as bold as alion, and marched straight up lo a dun as fiercely as ever Napol¬ eon's guards rushed up to a battery loaded with grape. Convinced that he was about to become an important man upon ** 'Change," he resolved to give Spermy a check, and, by way of experi¬ ment, nodded to him, and said "Howd* ye do?" I in the oilman's own style, never heeding the look of indignant surprise witfa which faia pre¬ sumption waa met.
At nigfat fae went faome in his happieai mood, and gave Mrs. B. sucfa a cordial kiss wfaen sfae opened the door, that a newly appointed police¬ man, passing the house at the time, looked up in alarm, wilh a faalf formed idea that some one was shooting at him, or else committing " Felo dese." Mrs. B. was herself so surprised that it took her some time lo recover her breath, her presence of mind being completely upset by ifae novel proceeding; so novel tfaat she bul faintly remembered its precedent.—in the—in the rom¬ ance ofthe honeymoon. It fluttered her so that she really forgot to sweeten "dear Bubble-' broke's" tea; a dangerous neglect, aa Paul al¬ ways sulked over less .than|iwo lumps to a cup. He luckily drank it, however, blissfully ignor- wfaeiher fae faad been drinking or not.
She saw that something unusual had happened, and anxiously sought to diacover what it could be. But Paul, for once In fais life, wds strangely reaerved. The secret, was struggling hard to escape; but ho felt quite afraid to confess ifae amount fae had cribbed—lhat word best expres¬ ses his sense of the act—from his rent. Curtain lectures were not at all to faia taste.
Unable to pluck out the *• faeart of fais mys¬ tery." "Heaven's last beat gift" lo Biibble- broke began to unburden herself of tfae budget of gosaip which she had picked up during the day. ¦¦¦¦-¦
" Doyou know, Bubble dear," ishe exclaimed, as Paul sat after tea tfaougfatfuHy trying to bal¬ ance fais spoon on tfae edge of his cup—" do you know. Bubble dear, tfaat the hoiise next to Sper- my's is ofiered lor sale ?"
•• Eh—Spermy—for sale?" muttered Paui, who was building fine castles—we need not aay where..
" No ! no! the dwelling next door," replied Mrs. Bubblebroke, impatiently sfaaking -faer head.

" It ia a fine house,'.* replied Paul, never.faee- ding the chango in her tone; "five feet wider than Spermy's, and one story higher, I believe. I'll buy it! ThatwiligaUSpermyabii. ¦ We'^ll hiive two slabs of marble on every siep. I'll buy ilat once." ;.

FuU mourning I thtiik wiil become me; don'tyou? Wfao was it, Paul dear?" "Ndonethatlamawareof," said Paul. "Tfaen why did you put such a notion into my head?" retorted faia wife,-with a feeling of hope most.craelly crushed,. " You know how it shocks rae. to hear of a death. So yoii only spoke of the .sfaawl to annoy mo ? Very good, Mr! Btibblebroke, sir!" ' ; ;
"I did noBuch'tbing, Mrs'.B.,"rapKedPiaul, alarmed at tfae ominons sfaako of her head.—• The shawl you shall have. Death is hot the only way Fortune has of bestovrfng- her favors.

We will send all our.children-to tfae same school where iheir stuck-up thingshave" been taught, and I will pay well to have them put in a faigfa- er class. ' By the by, while I tfaink of it, I saw our Sally Ann playing with Speltee's childicn. I wish, my dear, you would prevent them rom- ping in such low company. Speltee is only a jourhesonan tinsmith. For Heaven's sake, don't let uaeinfc below our condition!"
" The poor children must have some play fellows," replied Mra. Bubblebroke, apologeti cally.
"Idon't objectto their playing, Mrs. B.,' answered Faul; "but let them play witfa their equals.'''
And again relapsing into silence, he returned to his castle-building, conjuring up bright vis ions of thoifulnre, in wfaich Paul Bubblebroke, Esquire, figured .as a person of unbounded wealth, looking down upon the purse-proud families by whom he had hitherto been alighted aa aparuenii.".
Nor did these pleasing fancies leave faira in the witctiing hours sacred lo T^ueea Mah. zxta dreams brougfat to him .a confirmation of his waking hopes. He stood in tho " Land of Nod, amid pilea of gold. He was surrounded by cornucopias pouring out eagles, and half eagles, and dollars at his feet. Liltle angels danced be¬ fore him, faolding up bags of treasure, which they persisted in thrusting inlo his handa until ho could carry no more. Gradually his fancies assumed a less Fantastic shape, becoming more consiateni and lifelike. The scene, loo, acqui¬ red a more familiar aspect. He found himself in his siore counting the contenta of fais till, whicfa appeared unusually full. He was busily raising a number of piles on the counter, when he heard fais name called, first softly, then lou¬ der, and louder, until fae trembled with awe.— Tfaen a noise quite confused, as of a riot out in tho streel, smote on hia ear. Wfaile ho was wondering what it all meant, a man witfa a small strip of paper burst into tfae store.
" Paul .Bubblebroke !" said the mysterious intruder, tfaruating the paper into Paul's hand. Before Paul could answer, the str^mr had vanished frpiri sight. Paul eagerly opened the paper; upon it was written, " Seventy thousand lor Paul!"- -       .
He felt strongly inclined to shou^ut for joy; but the noises witfaout increased to a fearful de¬ gree, and he suddenly felt a strong hand shak¬ ing his arm.
"Paol    Bubblebroke!   Paul!"   shouted voice.
Paul started and woke. The voice was the voice of fais wife, and in tfae imperative mood.
" Wfaat the deuce is the matter?" Paul mut¬ tered, not in his most amiable lone. It .was very wrong of him to speak bo ; but tfaen it raust be acknowledged that it was dreadfully tantalizing to be thus torn frOm the realization of his mostsanguine hopes.
" Don'tyou hear how Johnny is crying," ox- claimed Mrs. B. " Get up, do, and givo him some of the soothing syrup at once.'?
With considerable reluctance, Paul tumbled out and gave Johnny the mixture. But Johnny was in an obstreperous mood, and had to be trotted about for an faour before he would drop¬ off" to sleep.
Whon Paul was permitted, at length, to re¬ sume his privileged place upon the connubial couch—tfae handiest side to lurn out—he felt decidedly cross. He thougfat tfaat a man of his expectationa ought lo employ a nursery maid or something of that sort, instead of himself jump ing up at all hours of the night to cram his do¬ mestic treasures witfa syrups and pilE' Hesol- ving to look out for one, he at lengtfa fell asleep, and dreamed that he was in an intelligence of¬ fice, surrounded by numerous Irish and Dutch girls, anxiously waiting the " luck ofa place;'' There were mothers with babes in their arme, and vinegar-vis aged old maids, and bald-headed gentlemen carrying gold-headed canes, and looking like ogres, in search of a cook. Tfae keeper of the intelligence office was there, seat¬ ed behind hia old-faabioned desk, looking be nignly around,as itall thelworid and ita servants awaited fais aid—wfaich fae meant to bestow— for a "conaideraiion,"pf courae. He looked so important, tfaat Paul fell afraid to intrude on his lime ; but when fae saw Paul, fae beckoned lohim to approach, and gave him a paper, in¬ forming hirii thatit conlained everylhing he wanted to know. ' A feelingof gladness stole over Paul as he took it, but the girls in the office began to cry out, raising a terrible " hub bubbalo," while a voice from among them,harsh and discordant, repeatedly shouted oiit," Paul! Babblebroke! Paul!" This reiteration hc thought very strange, buthe paid, no attenlion to that, for his eye was joyfully fixed on tfae words. "Grand,Lottery Prize." 'There wos more on the paper, but while he .was reading these words an invisible hand snatched the pa¬ per away. "Paul! Paul!" cried the voice; dispelling fais dream, "wfay don't you get up? Sometfaing's the matter with Moll."
With" rautterings "deep, not  loud,"   Paul tumbled out again, and approachiiig tfae crib in which the Babblebroke blossom, the belle in embryo, lay blubbering, gruffly demanded what ailed.her-. Frightened.by the unnatural harsh- neaa of hia tone, t^e child only .cried the louder. Impatiently sfaaking faer, he repeated the ques. tion, and, at length, elicited the reply :— "I've lost—lost—I'ray—apple." "Lost what ("growled oer faero. " My—apple," sobbed the child, with a freah buret of tears.'
" What is the matter withthe pooi^dear?" inquired the maternal Bubblebrbko; rising in her turn;butwitfa less caution than her bettor- half, for in stepping across the ifoom; her foot came in contact with a favorite kitten, wfao did not bear the presaure .with the patience of a martyr, but turned with a terrific yallnpoh the -oflfending. membor, cauaing. a bobbing up ofl headB,r;and .a confuaion of sounds that gave a faint.idea of; the confttaioa ot:Babel.-.

.Hehad ascertained, before leaving home,'ihat Sperray.was the agent fortha disposal oif tfae HpUBe."nQxt door," and resolved tfaat fais first buainess should be to apply lor tfae refusal ofii. Leaving tfae sfaop in charge of the boy nnd the dog, a.small bnll pup, who looked on all meats, saveihe titbits, witfa sovereign contempt, he brushed up. hia'hair, looE'ed in.ifae glass, to see tbai'-tus collar wassiraigfat, and then, with an air as important as be cotild assume, spiight the store where the oilman "put forlh fais sign," a whale spouting oil, surrounded by boats upon mountain¬ ous waVesj list ready lociist the harpooners over the huge monster's back. ' Spermiy was in his small office, seated in an arm-chair, with his rigfat leg ihrown over its elbow; a cigar in hia mouth, and a "Morning Express "m fais faand. To Paul's knock he sard, gruffiy, **comfi' in!" and did not look pleased when he saw who it was. ¦ ¦ Our hero, however, cared nothing for that, but.,boIdly demanded if fae was the auifaorized agentfor selling the house next faia own.
" Wfay,;do you wish lo purchase it ?" Spermy inquired, in an insolent tone, not condescending to answer direct the questions ofa " fellow like Paul."
"Why yes?" replied Paul; "I have some Ifaougfats of doing so, ifil is not too bigh."
" I am afraid tfaat it is," aaid tho oilman, witfa a alight sneer.   '' Twenly thousand's the sum." "That all?" exclaimed Paul, with a well- assumed air of surprise; "I really thought it waa more.",    ,
; " Ten thousaud down wfaen the deeda are de¬ livered," said Spermy, sternly gazing on Paul, as ifhe would crush fais presumption at once; tfae rest may remain at seven per ceut. for five years."
¦ "Tiiu! i>—»iJ-—*i-"(mu.alLat..Qncal"-rp... plied Paul; " no bond and mortgage for me.— Let me have the refusal for a few daya, and then, if my lawyer discovers no flaw iu the deeds, I will give you my check for" lhe sum.— If nothing goes wrong, I shall have thrice the amount in my hands to invest."
And bowing himself out of the offico, fae left tfae oilman unpleasantly pondering over his worda.
"I astonished old humbug lhat lime," said Paul to himself, as fao turned from the door.
When Spermy returned to hia sumptuous home and fais four o'clock dinner, he gazed on the Bubblebroke's humble abode, aa if he was trying lo read in its looks the enigma that puz¬ zled faim still.
'' I wonder wfaat piece of good fortune or luck has befallen those people next door 7" he ex¬ claimed, 10 faia wife. " Tfaey must have grown suddenly rich."
"Rich !" Mrs. Spermy replied, with a scorn¬ ful toss of her faead, endangering tfaereby tfae huge filagree pendants tfaat hung from faer ears. "Ricfa! lhey are poorer tfaan Job. Wfay thai vulgar woman,-the wife, does her own sewing and cooking, and washes her teacups. I saw faer do it myself, as I passed by the house, and ehe was not asfaaracd of being seen, thougfa I stared her full in lhe face."
Bul they have got money somehow!" said. Spormy, thoughtfully ahaking his head, en¬ dangering nothing tfaerein. " He offers to pur¬ chase next door for cash." •*Ho?" Mrs. Spermy sharply exclaimed.— He sha'nt have it! Why it is nonsense to thinkof the thing,
"If he can pay, hc shall have it.'' said Spermy; 'ao I get my commission, old H»rry might have it for me."
¦* If those people get it, I will not remain in the streett," Mrs. Spermy replied. " We must remove fartfaer up. Tfae neighborfaood's getting decidedly low."
In the meanwfailo, Paul faad not been wasting his lime. Hebougfat a new auit of clothes—upon tick. Sought after a nurse for the cfaildren, and tfaen rusfaing down Wall Street, made more than one broker hoppy by eagerly seeking their aid for investing his fortune in stocks. To fais landlord fae lalked of enlarging his shop ; and, before he wenl homo, he asionisfaed the old apple woman who stood at the corner, by spending a shilling for peanuts and candies to treat the sweet cherubs, Johnny and Molly and Co.
How soon the good world gets scent ofour brightening foriune! But ihe chango wfaich knowledge produces, is even more wonderful still. Tfae slaves of tfae purse pass vinVe un- gilded wilh scorn, while vice, wilh tho talis¬ man, finds them aubaervient to every whim.— Paul's deaire for investing fais money—to come —soon spread abroad, and rumor, of course, made tfae most of the news; increasing his wealth from amillion of dollars to miUions of pounds. iHow he faad gained it, no one could lell, till one of the papers announced him the heirto an Englisfa estate, and a tille to boot.
Paul was really surprised at the number of; generous frienda wfao were anxioua 10 prove their regard. He could not conceive what had made faim suppose them cold and repulsive be¬ fore. Rich butchers, lo wbom fae was almost unknown, now offered him credit toany amount. Tfae. brokers caressed faim, and one of tfaem actually drew up, the plan ofa bank witfa Paul for cashier. Spermy faimself sfaook fais hand with a warmth whicfa affected our hero ao much that he asked the " old fellow" to drink, before he recovered his presence of mind. In fact he did not recover it then, ior Sperray did not de- cline.
¦ ¦ Paul was quite overcome, and when he went home ho declar.ed to his wife that Spermy waa really a good sort of man aftor all; a notion 10 wfaicTi Mrs. B. refused her assent until a nolo in a cream.laid envelope from.Mrs. Sperray inviied the Babblebrokes in to a family tea. The tea wasastrictly private affair, but Mrs. S. so be deared Mrs. B. thai tfae latter thawed out for a time. As for Paul, ho was perfectly ignorant whetfaer fae stood on his faead or his feet. He grew pompous, and talked ol hia plans for ifae fature, until Mi's. B. thought faim mad, and Spermy looked at faim with growing respect, and actually offered to take him over to the manaion next door.
