Here was the young gentleman--a stranger for years--taking the most complete possession of her ; and all the time his likeness was in her Lara as that of her future husband ; so of course, when after about two golden hours, spent in each other's society, he requested the honor of her hand what, could she say but *' yes ;" --for was it mot her fate as told by the carte by a wonderful astrologer? Of course she said yes. Then, in p perfectly cool and collected manner acquired om the Continent, Mr. Carleton took Miss Barton in to. supper, and joined in the festivity just as if no- thing had happened out of the common.

A missionary of the American Sunday- School Union, who has been for several | years starting Sunday-Schools in Southern Indiana, 'once stopped at the house of a' man, who was about to start'a liquor shop: After dimmer "mine host" addiessed him as follows : "Mr, you seem like a'mighty' clever kind of a gentleman, and I" an't no scholar, and I'd like to git you to do a little piece of writen for me."

I will furnish you with liquors that will ex- cite you to riot, robbery and bloodshed. -- I will, for a small sum, "undertake, upon short notice and with the greatest expedi-. tion, to prepare mien for the paor hovse, the prison and the gallows, 1 will warrant' that my liquors will deprive some of life, many of reason, property' and 'peace. 1 will cause the rising generation to grow uj in ignorance, and prove a nuisance to the nation. If any one should ask * what in4 ducement 1 haye to try to bring such 'misery upon my neighbors, my honest re: ply is 'greenbacks.' Alltcan'see that this is a profitable business.

The young men had grasped hands cor- dially enough when they recognized each other, and soon after adjourned to the Iddgings of Morgan to have a talk over old times. It was during this talk that Morgan con- fided to his friend his present mode of living, with strict injunctions to keep it a profound secret: "as of course, you see, old fellow, said he, it might prove my ruin if known." * Jack, however; did not see how, his over that of Canadian manufacture is universally acknowledged.
