in a softer vnice, loitkiug curiously   iuto her lovely, delicate countenance.
" For tbe love of papa," was tbe gentle re¬ ply, and Blanche "stole her hand into her father's.
The affection of that correct reply redeem¬ ed all tbe nonsense of her artificial remarks before the homely good sense, perb.aps rude prejudice, of tbe young surveyor.
"It is a brave child that makes such a martyr of herself," he said, playfully. " May I ask one of tbe ladies to play for rae a little while? I think tbat if music bath power to soothe the s.avage breast,' that s.arae one ought to take pity upou my barbarity. I have been in tbo woods nntil 1 bave grown wild."
Maggie, willing to oblige, went to the pi¬ auo. She Saang two or tbree old-fashioned songs which she thought would please his taste best. In the List, he surprised them all by joining in a rich, sweet, powerful voice, that would not have done discredit to the stage, and whicb proved uo small degree of cultivation.
" V?hy, you sing beautifully, Mr. Smith," exclaimed Blanche..
"I've taught the singing-scbool for two winters in Smithville," was the reply, in a deprecating tone, as if iu excuse for surpri¬ sing them by singing at ali. " Will uot yon be as good as your sister bas been ?" he ad¬ ded, as Maggie left the piano.
Blanche look her place and played a bril¬ liant passage from a new Italian opera, not wilh nny particular wish to delight their novel guest, bnt with a little wicke 1 desire lo confound him by some music whichshould be beyond his comprehension.
"That is very spgrkling .and airy," said he, as she retired from the instrument, " but I like this part of the same opera best," and he took the seat she relinquished, and play¬ ed a more difficult passage with the skill of a master. " Tbat is magnificent! grand as tbe sight of a western river rolling throngh a mighty forest." He spoke in a deep, ab¬ sorbed tone, as the last note died away.
Uis companions sat iu silence fora mo¬ ment. Tbey did not know what to make of tbis anomaly, "tbis Jack of all trades," who, though modest, could not be disconcerted, aud Ihouyh accomplished, was unpolished in outward seeming, aud independent in man¬ ner iind Fpeech, as tbe " squatter" whi oc¬ cupied tbe next log-hut; this singing master, phienoiogif:!, and surveyor, and wbat else time only niijibt develop.
He turned, afler speaking, to Maggie, as if to read .-ivmpathy in ber fine I'yes withhim in his admiration for this ghnious burst of music. She was regarding bim wi'h an ex pression which suddenly incren^^ed the feel¬ ing of his pulse, althongh her ghince was instantly dropped, and a .soft blush wavered over her cluM-kfi. He did not know whether it was hive nf ih.i mnsic r.nly which gave sneh a glow of plea^ure to ber enkindled hnik. .At tbat ninnient rIu- wa.-* more bt;auli- ful than I'.-IIe BhiUL-bH—th" pn^-try of her nature was set tn nit^'ody in Iht ey s.

"Quite a cnming down from an Italian opera," mused M.ngpie. None of the family were willing to see the person, whose frank¬ ness had won upon their esteem, .ilteirpt a w.alk of nine miles at thai late linnr, al¬ though be professed it could he done with ease, and w,^s no hardship to him; so their really cordial invitation w,is at last accepted and the rest o( the evening fiitted rapidly away. They would them'^elves have won¬ dered at tbeir owu warm hearledness in beg¬ ging him lo stay, had they remembered the stateliness which it was their wont to extend invitations, and tho difficulty witb which a stranger got the entree of their city law.^. But they were in a new country, amid puz¬ zling people, where distinctions of society were so gradually blended that it was unsafe to presume upon any abrupt declension; besides, tbey feU their own need of kind¬ ness and friendly deeds, iu thia harsh and lonely new life of tbtira.
" You wili have to put the bear in your bed-room. Maggie, and come and sleep with me. I shall be afraid bruin would crush all my delicate toilet arrangements, and break down my little French bedstead. I should have to cry, as the cub did in the nursery story—'who's been sleeping in my bed?'" whisper*?d Blanche, as the two went through the library (we shall designate the several portions of the one ball of the Sutherland cottage by the names tbe inmates were pleased to give tbem) to make some preparations for the repose of their guest.
" How can you ?" murmured Maggie, re¬ provingly. "If he only had hia hair cnt, and a black coat on, he would be as much of a gentleman as Sydney De Witt, and a great deal more of oue than that simpleton Thad¬ deus Jaan Brown, with his excraolating dress and mannera—'smelling of musk and of in- Bolenoo'—and with hia soul refined dowu to nothing at all; but whom yoa seemed to admire so mach."

yet I am sure it ia a very great privation to have to arise so early," she said, as she pas¬ sed her father, where he sat idly in hia dres¬ sing-gown.
"How fortunate it was that we resolved to leam to dress ourselves, and dispensed with our maid last year!" said Louise to Maggie, as they fastened each other's dresses.
The laoe collar was but just fastened around the alender throat, and the last ring¬ let adjusted, when a carriage, drawn by two spirited black horses, dashed up to the door.-
" What handsome horaes 1" said Louise.
"And what ahandsome mau !" said Blanche. - As for Maggie ahe said nothing,   but her speaking eye kindled, and theu dropped.
Was that really Mr. Harrison Smith of Smithvile ? Yes ; for there were the laugh¬ ing, deep-blue eyes and manly form ; but the beard was trimmed and glossy, and the bair bra.shed into rich curls, and the surveyor's dress was exchanged for a handsome black frock-coat, white linen pantaloons, and Con¬ gress gaiters. He did not look like a Broad-' way esqui-^it; every one, except Blanche, thought be looked much better, and more like a man, capable of taking care of himself and protecting his gentler companions, and even Blanche had exrlaimed th.at he was handsome.

It waa almoat sunset when their visitor turned hia horaes' heads homeward. It wonld be folly to represent that it was not a tedious ,and disagreeable piece of work to clear the tablo and put the dishes away after he left; to take care of the milk, make a cup of tea, and perform the various duties de¬ volving upon the sisters. Tbey went through with it all, consoling themselves as youthful spirits may.
Tlieir experience in housekeeping thence¬ forward was a mingling of the amusing and the perplexing. Mrs. Marks came to bring them eggs and fowls, and to leam them to make butter. They sueeeeded in engaging her to come one day iu every week, and do their washing and all the coarse work there was "about, arid to instruct them'-iti" those homely arts of whioh they were Ignorant,^
The first time Lonise made the butter alone, it looked very handsomely, and the family all complimented her upou her success. Bat como to taste it, it did not fulfil its promise. It waa, Maggie said, " stale, fiat, and unprof¬ itable." After many anxious suggestions, it waa finally discovered that she had forgotten to salt it.

"My daughters will be pleased to go ; and I shall be glad to have thera ; for my greatest dread is that they will tire of their monoto¬ nous life in this wilderness."
So it was all arranged, and their guest bade them a cheery good-morning, rejoicing in the thought that he had contrived a way to see tbem so soou again, aud giving his laa^ earnest look at Maggie.
Blanche could hardly wait for them to get out of hearing before she commenced clapping her handa and dancing around the room.
"Now, then, m\ passion-fiower, here is something better for yonr journal than ac¬ counts of making bisciitt.s aud milking cows. Papa was right abont the adventures. Wo will have plenty, I am snre. Come, sit down this moment, aud write it ont."
"Write what nut?" asked Maggie, striving to affect indifference, although the color did deep.m in her cheeks.
"Oh, now, blue-heUe, don't pretend not to knowl Why, all about it, of course. How you went out, after the fashion of peasant- girls, to gather strawberries, and wore a wreath of violets for your head; aud how you met a lion in tbe forest who turned into a strange, handsome man at the sight of hia Una; but how a little of the lion's mane was still left hanging about his face, which made him very delightfully uncouth ; and how he followed you home, aud threw a spell over us all, like the enchanters of old, so that, even when he forgot himself, and growled, we could not be frightened; and how he could sing like a siren between the growls ; and how he had such eyes tbat they pene¬ trated the ausceptible breast of the poet- sister, aud—"
" Vou had better take tbe journal into your own hands, since you have such powers of narrative," said Maggie, with just enough petuleuce to delight her sister witli the idea that she had succeeded in disturbing her.
" Tiiat young man has fine business talent," said Mr. Sutherland to Louise. " He sketched out a plan by which I might reinstate my fortunes in a year or two if I only had a few thousand dollars capital."
" I wish that you had, dear father, tho requisite means," sighed Louise.
Although she took tbe lead in the house¬ hold affairs, and conducted herself with tbe most commendable courage, Louise's heart was far from being wholly engaged in that liumble home. She had not so rauch imag¬ ination as Maggie, and could not invest homely realities with any ideal charm, ex¬ cept what ber affectious gave thom ; neither had phe the bifjh spirits of the childish Blanche, m that this uew lot fell rather more heavily upon her than the others; and yet she was the advi-er and comforter of all.
The two days vet remainiugof that week passed williout any circumstances of noiet except a wild chase two of the sisters had after a w.-isberwoman, in which they wearied tlieni5(:lve-i very greatly. Their nearest neighbor, whose assistance they had hoped to secure, bad a child sick, and they weie obliged to walk another mile, and coax very hard for the somewhat obstinate woman, whom they found, to consent to come and assist them.
"Fine folks better learn to  help  them¬ selves," she said, shortly, wben first solicited. "But we are learning," said Maggie.   "We do all our work; but I do not think we ara | strong enough to wash."
"Beside.s, we do not know how,"  pleaded
Blanche, with the tears in her beautiful eyes.
"Ob, please to come, Mrs.  Marks!    We
have walked three miles,  and are so tired,
and cannot go any  further."
The dignity of Mrs. Marks softened a little at the young girl's sweet voice, as whose would not ? and, as Maggie followed up tbe advantage gained by the offer of a gold dollar if she wonld come and do the washing and scrub out the kitchen, she reluctantly con¬ sented.
" To think of auch a woman putting on airs," laughed Blanche, as they returned slowly home.
"Everybody is independent out West," re¬ plied her companion.
CHAPTER III. The nest Sabbath was a beautiful day. The yoang ladies had been in the habit of indulgirg in an hour more of sleep upon Sunday morning ; bnt upon this occasion they felt a novel necessity for relinquiabing thia luxury, as they could hardly prepare for their ride to church otherwise.
A cup of coffee, bread and butter, and atraw berries, formed iheir breakfast; then the difihes were to he rinsed np, and then tbe toilets to be made, and allbeforenine o'olook. "Homble! barbarous I how can we live and endure it?" murmured Blanche, ocoa- sionally, aa she-tried to help the othera, and flattered about like a bird, doing about as much good.
Yet/Bomehow, despite of her own aston¬ ishment, she nevftrfelt better in her life. Her aheeks were almost too rosy for her faatidiouB taate, and the Wood w«nt tingling through her veins ta if «Iie had quaffed am-
silks, fluttering flounces, tiny pretences of bonnets, and elegant scarfs, be was half an¬ gry at bis own folly in offering to escort a bevy of fashionable females into the village church. He! who had always spoken of this class with contempt, and had beeu wont to deem them as senseless as their models in tbe dressmaker's shop, with the exception of a little combination nf falsehood, vanity aud affectation. Ilis keen eye searched their fa¬ ces. He saw tbere no betrayal of the con¬ sciousness that tbey were brilliantly arrayed; ease but not pride was in their manners— repose, aud not the coldness of armcance ; and, in one face, lie saw a fiusii of feeling as natural a-s any wild girl of the woods might have shown, and ob ! so much more refined and spiritual. The expression of that face banished all regret and awkwardness; he was himself again, only more joyous, more genial than befort^.
. Wiien Maggie gave him her hand to bo helped into the carriage, he could have pres¬ sed it to bis heart in a raptur.-; biit his rev¬ erence for that bright, ethereal creature, so refined, like porcelain, beyond the potter's clay, was greater than his passion. It seem¬ ed as be took hia seat by her side in tbe car¬ riage, that the golden sunlight of June had never flooded the world so gayly before.
The road wound bytbe river bank, and was lovely with shadowy forest and flowery plain upon one side, and the broad, blue, rushing stream upon the other. The poeti¬ cal nature of Maggie was all aroused. The sweet words of bards, made sweeter by the soft emotion with which she uttered tbem, flowed from her lips. Her companion took np the thread of feeling, and answered it witli an eloquence as deliglitful as unexpect¬ ed. She thought herself in a fairy world' and wondered at a slightly repressed yawn whicii she heard from Blanche.
" The village, the village I" cried thelatter, presently.
" How swiftly wo have comel" said Mag¬ gie.    "Those aro fine horsea, Mr. Smith."
The bell was tolling for tho minister when they passed before thu littte Episcopal church, at whose architecture the girls quietly smiled. Their escort gave tliem a seat in asquare pew at the head of thu aisle, and then left tbem to take his own place with tbe choir. They were aware that, as they faced the principal portion of the congregation, they were " tbe cynosures of neighboring eyes ;" but tbey bore it very bravely, and entered into the spirit of the service with religious simplicity. They missed the dim grandeur of their own churcli, the lofty spaces, tho arches which seemed to point to heaven, the stained win¬ dows which seemed to burn with a joyous worship, and something of the stately cere¬ monials. But that did not prevent thom from addressing themselves to thoughts of praise and gladness.
The music was better than they expected. There was a small organ, whicii was made the most of by Harrison Smith, wbo, they aaw, was leader of- the choir. Aa there were but three aingers, and the voice whicli waa missing was one whose loss she could sup ply, Maggie joined in the singing. Her voice was very fino, and, as she answered the lead¬ er, in some of the parts, she seemed to be Joining with him in spirit in the melodious thanksgiving, so earnestly they sang to one another. Sweeter and fuller rose her voice, and more grandly his chimed in, until the hearts of the hearers were lifted upon the unseen waves of music into a higher world of feeling.
When the two met, after church, soiiie bond seemed to have drawn them nearer than when they. last looked intot-ach other's eyes. Mr. Smith brought with him, from tlie galle¬ ry, hia cousin, a dashingly dressed girl, not very pretty, but with a spirited good-hearted expression.
Silo urged them so cordially to go home with her todiuner that they could not refuse, or would not have refused had not Louise re¬ collected that while they were feasting ber father would go famishing.
¦' Cannot be help himself to something out of the pantry, to keep hira from absolute starvation, until you return?" laughed Miss Smith, reluctant to resign her guests.
" Papa would never dream of such a thing," replied Louise. " He could not boil an egg or a cup of coffee, or even look for a piece of cold chicken, he is so used to trusting him¬ self blindly to tho care of the female portiou i»f the household."
" He does not understand the mysteries of housekeeping as well as I," said Harrison.— " I keep my tent-house very well; can boil beans, make coffee, toast bread, and broil a bird to perfection."
"Here ia our house just by," continued Miss Smith. " Wo will not keep you to din¬ ner, then, but step in and take a glass of wine, or something to refresh you before ridiug again."
They went in and found double-parlors well furnished, in some respects ; a rich car¬ pet, a good piano, aud some handsome articles of rose-wood furniture ; but no picture worth ihentiouing, and no little articles of vertu be¬ traying a cultivated taste. The father af Miss Smith was one of -Wie " hundred thou¬ sand dollar men " that Harrison had spoken of, and had things as well as he knew how.
Arabelle, their young hostess,brought them some cake, and, as they did not take wine,! some cold water; and, after promising to oome very soon to call upon tbem, permitted them to depart.
Their ride home was rather warm, thongh a cool breeze from the river kept the beat from being oppressive.
Of coarse they urged their kind escort to stay to dinner.
" Oh, dear, dear !" sighed Louise, clasping her hands, and almost crying, as she stood ih the kitchen in close consultation'with Mag¬ gie. " How I wish we had a servant I How can we oook a nice dinner out of these mate¬ rials ? and I so inexperienced 1"
" Never mind, dear sister, we shall do nice¬ ly.   Mr. Smith cail exist withont soap tor
" It is rather dangerous for any of us to laugh at the other, for fear the tables will be turned," said Mr. Sutherland.
" Well I yon may all laugh at me as much as you please. Anything to keep you from melancholy. For my part, I feel inclined to solemn reveries upon the worthlessness of human acquirements, when I find myself boiling the eggs an hour without softening them, salting the custards, and sweetening the gravy for the meats, ironing my lacea on tbe wrong side, making my bed so that I cannot sleep iu it, and slicing off my fingers when I slice the broad," said Maggie, with her usual merry attempt to make their mis¬ takes turn to good account, in the way of making them ludicrous if nothing else.
One morning, Louise concladed that she wonld preserve aome strawberries tor futuro nse ; and all tbree went out to gather thera, and before noon had as much of the delicious fruit as they could desire. After dinner, each had just got comfortably settled to hulling the berries, and with an apron on, a dish in her lap, and a napkin tp wipe her fin¬ gers, when two carriages drove up, and a bevy of youug people from the village alight¬ ed and appeared at the door.
With a dignity which gave a grace to eve¬ ry circumstance, Louiae received *.liem. If her guests had found her scrubbing the floor, tbey would have thought that the most charming occupation in the world, so did she invest, all that she did with the grace _wliich belonged to her.
Tbere were Mr. and Mias Smith, whom they already knew ; Miss Morton, a rather delicate-looking girl, somewhat too difiident, but pleasing; Mr. Cbarles Williams, a tall young map, owner of tbe best store in Smith¬ ville ; bis sister Emily, an affected young lady, with artificial curls; Miss Carrie Brown, a littie gypsyish brunette, as pretty as ahe was piquant, and, doubtless her lover, Mr. DuvaL a graceful youth just home from col¬ lege. Tbese were some of tbe elite of Smith¬ ville, come to do honor to the inhabitants of the log-house. The prestige of their former splender still surrounding them waa suffi¬ cient to secure the admiration of the visi¬ tors. The young ladies Sutherland had not so much difficulty in entertaining their guests as the latter had, from allowing their eyes to wander with too much curiosity over the novel combination which formed the grand suite of rooms of the cottage. However, all things served for mutual pleasure; what there was outre, or unfinished in the man¬ ners of their guests, their friendliness, and the real good sense and education of some of them, all pleased those who had been con- lined so strictly all theirlives iu excessive con¬ ventionalities ; while, upon tbe other hand, thia mingling of beauty and superior elegance with their rule surroundings interested the other party. Bright amiles were interchanged. Black-eyed Carrie Brown fell desperately in love with Mr. Sutherland, to tbe secret un¬ easiness of her yonng lover; and Mr. Suth¬ erland was delighted with her sprightly beau¬ ty and wit. They conversed in the most lively mauner; as Maggie afterwards declared " papa's handsome face beamed with a sus, piciouB brightness." Mr. Duval, with no chance to turn his lady-love's attention from her fascinating host, thought to revenge him¬ self by being equally devoted to Miss Blanche. What he began in pique, soon became very much in earnest; for Blanche was too irre¬ sistibly beautiful not to make an impression upon the heart of a youth of twenty. The call, iu which all tbese emotions had time for play, was of rather more than the usual length for a first visit; as Louise offered aome alight refreshments, since they had ridden out so far to see her.
After an hour's agreeable conversation, tbe visitors went away. Edwin Duval did not fail to turn his head, after entering tbe car¬ riage, to catch a last glimpse of the bright face of Blanche, as she stood plucking a wild rose-bud to twine in her golden locks. Tbia last lingering look did not pass unobserved by Carrie, wbo thought it her inalienable right to be pouting and sullen all the way home, to punish bim for it.
"Put it down in your jonmal tbat papa has fallen a prey to the arts of a pair of black eyea," said Louise, after they were gone.
" Pshaw, what nonsense for j/o«, Lonise," exclaimed the father, coloring slightly.
Nevertheless, his misohievous danghterti took notice that he stood before the mirror shortly after, and observed himself with a half-pleased, halfmelanoholy eye.
"Dou't fail to add that Edwin Duval is tbe most cityfied youth we have yet beheld in these wildsj and haa a mouth as pretty as a woman's," added Blanche. "Oh, dear! bow I wish / could have an adventure such as Maggie had with her Hon ! It wonld be so nice to tell Mand Arabesqne !"
An evening or two after this, the girls were enjoying tbeir usual bath in the river.    It was a warm, bright, moonlight night, fit for naiads to sport in.    It would be hard to find three naiads as  lovely aa the three girla in their long bathing dresses, their curia caught careleasly back from their faces, playing a thousand graceful pranks  in the sparkling element.    At every motion  the flashing wa¬ ter broke into silver ripplea and shining cir¬ cles  of light.    They tossed np the  waves with  their bands, to see tbem descend in showers of pearla  and diamonds upon the bosora of the stream.    The dark line of pine forest  back from the shore, the murmuring river below, the fnll moon   in the heaven above, the silence, the solitude, were all so beautifully combined, that they lingered long in the warm, pleasant water,    Alas I for the beauty of human bliss 1   Blanche, so happy and beautiful, Blanche,  so young and be¬ loved, in the excess of her frolic mood, forgot how suddenly the sandy bottom over which the edge of the stream swept broke off into greater depths and a rapid current.    She lost her footing so suddenly aud went'down, that althongh she was a very good swimmer, aha strangled, and conld not recover herself.— She came to the snrCace only to toss her
fled to land, but her sister was in the birch¬ en bark. In the pallid light she aaw a tall, straight from, black hair banging arouud the shoulders, aud a pair of glittering eyes. She was about to lay hold of the edge of the canoe, but with a dexterous movement, he caused it to avoid her touch and dart off.— She thought that he was about to carry off Blanche, and gave a slight acream; but he turned the boat to the shore, aud with a strike or two of tiie paddle landed it on the beach, at the same instant that Mr. Snther- land appeared upon the scene. Withont the slightest notice of the agonized father, the Indian sat down ou the shore, took the in¬ sensible girl in his arms, blowed in. Her mouth, pressed upon her breaat, pinched in her nostrils, aud in abont three minutes bad ber restored to animation.
Blanche thought herself in a dream when she opened her eyes upon that wild and swarthy conntenance; and when she felt herself lifted aud carried In tiiose brawny arms, she still tried to release bel-self as from a disagreeable dream of having beeu lost and carried ofl" by savages.
It waa not for some moments after he had carefully deposited her upon her bed that, she recollected the circnmstances preceding her drowning; and her father had then to explain that the Indian had been hor pre¬ server.
He still stood by the couchj speaking no¬ thing, gazing at her with glowing eyes, giv¬ ing even Mr. Sutherland an unpleasant sen¬ sation, althongh he felt very grateful for his aid in rescuiug bis child. Now Blanche was mortally afraid of au Indian: the thought of one bad always filled her with dread; but she was gentle and generous, so she streclied out her pretty, soft hand from be¬ neath tho coverlid to tbe silent savage, and said, "Thank you,"
It seemed he understood Englisii; betook tbe white band an instant, and went out from the house without speaking.    ,
" There is the adventure you were wish¬ ing for," said Maggie, when tliey bad all rt- covered somewliat from their fright and felt able to laugh at past danger.
"We shall never daro t&gii in bathing again," half wliispered Louise. "It ia my impression tbat that Indian Wiis larking in the shadow of the bauk all the time, keep¬ ing watch upon us."
" Mercy!" exclaimed the other two, " it would have scared us to death to have known it."
"He was only admiringyourperformances, I suppose," said their father. "The Indians here dare uot do any harm, if they had tbe disposition. There Is a small part of a tribe about twenty miles from here, who supply the white inh.abitant3 with baskets, berries, bead-work, venison, and tbe like. They are very harmless."
Still, tbe girl's vision, that nighty was haunted by dusky forms stealing out of un¬ expected haunts.
Late the next afternoon the Indian sudden¬ ly appeared at the door. He held by a rope- bridle a pair of beautiful little wild ponies, and had in a ba.sket upon his back some elaborate specimens of bead-work. By means of signs and brokeu  English he raade  Mr,
cal form, that is, the bottom ia flat, and the sides and top are in the form of an nrch. At each end la an opening for tbe ingress of.the lobster; aroand this opening are placed short, flexible pieces of wood, projecting into
ting.balancing his cash, a note would come, requesting " the loan of a five-dollar bill." Tiie money was always returned punctually at eight o'clock on Monday morning. But what puzzled thn lender was, tho parson al¬ ways  returned tbo  very  identical  note  he
the basket, so arranged that they will easily ; . . i    i   a j- j ii ¦   <¦   .
' ° ,        borrowed.    Since he had discovered this fact
separate and allow the lobster to enter, but their points closa together after him and pre¬ vent his egress. They have a door upon the top, through which the lobster ia taken out- A long line ia attached to these pots; a hea\^ atone,:.snffioient to sink them, is pla¬ ced in .them, and they are baited with tbe heads or offal of fresh fiah, and sunk to tbe bottom at abont low-water mark; the other end of the line is made fast to a block of light wood, called a buoy. Tbe fishermen go out with their wherries, freighted with these pots, and d.op them at short intervals along tlie abore. During the season, of lobster fishing, which lasts from March to July, hundreds of these buoys may be seen bob¬ bing up and down like so many seals' heada. The fishermen viait them evory uinrniug> draw them up alongside of their boats, take out the lobsters, replenish tbe bait, and drop them again into the water. The lobsters, when first taken, are very fierce, and seize with their strong pincers upon whatever may be within their reach. When thrown together into the boat, they will grapple with each other and tear off each other's feelera and legs. Without much care in handling thetn, the fingers of the fiishermen get many a'hard bite. To prevent them from injuring each other, the fishertnen provide sharp- pointed wooden pegs, wbicli tbey insert into the joint or hinge of their pincers, which preventa them from closing. When they have visited all their pots, tliey row to their landing placo. If they now wish to preserve tbem for several days, they pnt them into a long b s or kennel, made of plank and bored full of holes, wnich is moored in the water at a little distance from the shore. If they wish to prepare tbem immediately fnr market, they are taken ashore in hand-bar¬ rows and carried to a sort of shed, in which ia fixed a large cauldron. This is filled with water. A brisk fire is kindled under this kettle, and when the water boils, the living' crawling, squirming lobsters are thrown into it and covered with a heavy plank cover — Here they are kept boiling until their color, which when taken out of tbe water was a dark green, becomes a bright scarlet. They are now ready for tbe market. In this state we see them for sale on the stalls in oar ci¬ ties and liawked about the streeta.
A    NlGHTWATCn    WITH   A    DeAO   I.VKAST.—
Moorest thon thy bark so soon, tittle voya¬ ger? Through those infant eyes, with a pro¬ phet's vision, sawest thou life'.s great battle- Geld, swarming with fierce combatants? Fell upon thy timid ear the far-off din of its an¬ gry strife? Drooped tliy head wearily nn the bosom of tha Sinless, fearful of earthly taint ? Flattered thy winga impatiently 'gainst the bars of tby prison-bouse, sweet bird of Paradise ?
" God speed thy flight ? No unerring sportsman shall have power to ruffle thy spread pinions or maim thy soaring wing,— No sheltering nest had earth for thee, inhere
he made private marks on the note ; still tbe aame v as banded back on Monday morn¬ ing. One Saturday evening Porter sqnt a five-dollar gold-piece, instead of a note, and marked it. Still tbe very same coin was returned on the Monda3\ Porter got ner¬ vous and bilious about it; ho could not sleep at nigbt for thinking about it; be would awake liis wife iu the middle of the night, nnd ask ber what she thought of such a strange occurence. He waa fast boiling over with curiosity, when .% note came from the reverend borrower, one Christmas eve, asking for the loan of ten dollars. A brilliant thonght struck our friend. He put on hia great coat, resolving to call and demand an explanation  of the mystery.    .
Wiien he was shown into his friend's study he found him plunged in the profoundest melancholy.
"Mr. ," said our friend,  " if you
Sutherland understand that  he had brought   the chill wind of sorrow might not blow!—
hira these things in exfJiajnge for White, Rose, pointing to Blanche, whom h^ wanted for his squaw.
Tbe astouishraeni aud amusement of the father were great, but he treated the offer politely, explaining how impossible it would be for White Rose to live in a wigwam, and that hy could not spare her yet. The poor fellow, a really fine-looking and dignified savage, turned a mournful and eager glance upon the fair girl, where she aat blushing and trembling at her little work-table, heav¬ ed a deep sigh, and turned away.
Letting down bis basket a little ways from the door, he selected tbe prettiest pair of moccasons he had, and separated oue of the ponies from its companion. Leading it back and placing the bridle in Mr. Sutherland'.s hand, and putting dowu the moccasons upon tho steps—" for White Rose," he said aud waa gone.
All the family felt sorry for their generous Indian friend, his noble face had betrayed such deep disappointment; but youthful human nature could not-resiat ao fine a chance for mischievous salliea ; and poor Blanche, ovet- whelmed with confusion at the mirth at her expense, final!}' burst into tears as lier only refuge.
" There now, darling, before I would allow them to plague me !" exclaimed her father, taking her on bis lap. " It's jnat envy, Blanche. Tliey have never had au offer, and are vexed to think tlie youngest has the first one. Besides, they want ytmr pony. You can well afford to let tbem laugh at you. Come, let us look at your present!"
"Oh, if I only had a saddle, now, bow happy I should be! exclaimed the volatile young girl!" as sh^patled her pony's neck,- and longed to spring upon his back.
She was al le, after tbat, to bear the ridi¬ cule which broke forth upon sundry occa¬ sions, wear her moccasons without shame, and even hoped that Maggie would not forget to record " her first offer."
The next time Mr. Smith camo to tbe bouse, as he was now doing more frequently upon business with Mr, Sutherland, tbe whole adventure came out piece by piece, Blanche begging all the time for her sisters to be si¬ lent,
" I do not blame him, I am sure. He show¬ ed a finer appreciation tban I should suspect a aavago possessed of," said Harrison, when tbe story was told, looking upon tbe heroine with eyes very plainly indicative of profound admiration. ,
Tliat earnest look struck a strange-pang to the heart of Maggie ; she grew grave, and when rallied npon her silence, laughed and made merry in au abrupt hysterical manner. She was sure that there could be nothing so low iu her nature as envy, and yet she felt still more unhappy when she heard Mr. Smith asking Blanche if he might make her present available, by adding a saddle to the gift.
Blanche refused, and said that ahe had pocket-money enough to buy her a saddle, bnt wonld commission him to pnrcbase it and bring it oat to her. He would not take her money, but brought the saddle the next time he came.
Visits to the cottage were now not unfre- quent. The yonng people of Smithville were glad to ride out along the lonely river and call npon the interesting family in the log- hut. Invitations were sent, and escorts pro¬ vided to every little gathering in the vil¬ lage, to which thoy could be prevailed upon to go.
Mr. Sutherland was eagerly sought after with hia daughters. Young Duval and Car¬ rie Brown liked to ride out to the- Sutber- landa, and went often, Thay never failed to quarrel with each other upon the way home, and yet they did not oease going.
A change, soarcely peroeptible, had come over Maggie. Her disposition waa more flt- fol than,;l»efore. Sometimes she was very gajTp BometiiaeB j^ry aUent.    Deep; fedlisg
No garden of Eden, whore the f^erpent lay not coiled beneath the flowers ! No " Tree of Life," whose branches might have shelter¬ ed thee for aye.
" Warm fall the sunliglit on thy grassy pillow, sweet human blossom! Softly fall the night-dews on the blue-eyed violet above thee ! Side by side with thee are hearts that have long since erased hoping or aching.— There lies the betrothed maideu in her un¬ appropriated loveliness ; the bride, with her head pillowed on golden tresses, whose rare beauty, eveu tbe Grreat Spoiler seemed loth to touch; childhood, but yesterday warm and rosy on its mother's breast; tiie loving wife and mother, in life's sweet prime ; the gray haired pastor, gone to his rewanl; the youth of crisped locks and hrow uufurrowed by care ; the heart-broken widow, antl tear¬ ful orphan, all await with folded band, closed eyes, and silent lips, alike with thee, the resurrection morn.
will answer me oue question, I will   Ipt you have the ten dollars.
" How doea it happen that you always re¬ pay me the money you borrow on the Satur¬ day night in the very same coin or note on Monday ?"
The parson raised his bead, and after a violent struggle', as though he were about to unveil t!ie hoarded myster^y of his soul, said, in faltei'ing tones, " Porter, you are a gentle¬ man, a scliolar, a Christian, and a New York¬ er—I know I can ruly ou yonr inviolable secrecy. Listen to the secret of luy eloquence. YiUi kiiotv tliat I am poor, and when I have bongbt my Suuday dinner, I have seldom a red Cent left in my pocket. Now I luaintuin that no mail can preacli the Go.sjit;! and l>!nw Up his congregation properly without lie bas something in liis pocket to inspire him witli cnufideuce. I iiave therefore borrowed five dollar.-? of you every Saturday, that I might feel it occasionally as I preaclied on Sunday. You know how independently I dn preach— how I make the rich shake in tbeir shoes.— Well, it is .all owing to my knowing that 1 have a five-dollar bill in my pocket. Of coui*se, never having to use it for any other purpose, it is not changed, but invariably returned to you the next moruing. Now, as Mr. George Law is coming to hear me preach to-morrow, I thought I would try tbe effect of a teu-dollar-bill sermon ou hito.
^^ " Pop goes the weasel" has become the cliorus of a thousand snatches of song, bnt uot one of a tliousand wbo aingit ever heard of iis origin. But its parentage id aa e:isily traced as that of au English baronet. A famous Methodist preacher, by the name of Craven, was once preacliiug in the heart of Virginia, aud'spoke as follows : Here are a great many professors of religion to-daj',— You are sleek, fat, good-looking, yet some¬ thing is tbe'tuatter with you. Now you have seen wheat which was plump, round, and good-looking totbe eye, but wbeu you weigh¬ ed it you found that it ouly came to forty- five or perhaps forty-eight pounds to tiie bushel, when it .tihould be sixty or sixty- three pounda. Take a kernel of tbat wheat between your thumb and finger, hold it up, squeeze it, and—pop goes the weevil. Now you good-looking professors of religion, you are plump and round, but you only weigh some forty-five or forty-six pounds to the bushel. What is the matter ? Ah ! when you are tak^n between the tliuinb of the law and finger of the Gospel, held up to the light and squeezed, out popi tha whiskey bottle." From " pop goes the weevil" to " pop goes tho weasel," tho transition U tjasy.

YOUKG   LADIR3    AND    SlNGtKC    BiRDS—That
there ia something more than commonly winning and attractive in the company of innocent birds, may be considered proven.— No wonder, then, that so many of onr inno¬ cent young jiu aid ens—God bless them !—take delight in superintan<ling the extension of so interesting a race as Ihecanary, a bird wlioiu all must love that knoiv his excellencies.— Wh rejiiice to see yomi;; ladies thus ration¬ ally eng.iged, Tbeir many preiiaratinn3 in t'le way of cages, iie.st b()X»*H, nest-hags, tin; prnper selection nf amiable bird^, etc., etc.— all theae fill up their time very pleasantly. Well can wo undersUuid the delight thi-y feel in their anticipation of soon being ablu to "assist" the. happy pareuta in rearing their expected little families. Itis gratify¬ ing, very. And bow iiifinittly better th;tn the silly, childish manipnlatinn of that ever- bv-itiiig croachet, and that still more absurdly ridiculous introduction from France, poticho- manie, or "stiek-jar."

A traveling gentleman; looking for the house of an acquaintance iu Duhlln, inquired of a native-born Irishman :
" Who lives in that houso over the way ?" " Jonny O'Brien, to be sure," replied  P it- rick; *' but he dou't live there now, for lie is dead, ho is."
'•Ah! how long has he been dead ?" "And, yonr honor, if he had lived till next Monday he would have been dead a fortnight."
Our traveling friend pursued his walk and his inquiries, and seeiug a very large funeral procession, he asked another native whose funeral tliat was.
"Be gorrah, Sir," said Pat, witli a most innocent look, " it's myself that can not say for sartaiu, but I'm after thinkin' it's tho man's in the coffin.^'
That is very well for Patrick, hut tbe other is a real John Bull. An Eugltsli barber in the season ofthe epidemic, n-marked to oue of bia customers that there was "cholera in the hair,"

"Oh," said the barber, " I.don't mean the 'air of the ed, but the hair of the ftafmos- phere."
Speaking of " seamless skirts," whioh are now advertised, the Times aays that "any¬ thing tbat will make skirts seem-less will be grateful to gentlemen, and to ladies, loo, who have to pass through hoop-frequented streets."
