I haven't an Ides whioh way to go,\ said Mrs. Johnson, looking sadly around the scene. \If Mrs. Larkin had a woman 1 ! heart in her bosom, she would have sent some one to meet me f a frosty March evening, the orange ranset still flaming in the west* the froften tree-tops rustling in the wind) and die steely surface of the riVer glimmering here and hero through the| openings in the leafless woods. March, of itself, is not an invigor- ating month-the fall of .night is gloomy, if you make the best of it, and there was nothing* to excite hope or cheerfulness In the flat country around the Wagstafl Sta- tion, especially when the partially thawed road caught at the pedestrian's feet, and prisoned them in ita plashy grasp at every rtep, and the wind whistled like some discor- dant musical instrument down the hill. Mrs. Johnson was very pale; and very shabby, and very tired. She was like the principal implement in the children's game of \ Button, button, who's got the button ?\ Inasmuoh as ahe had been passed on from to connection, relative to friend, nobody glad to Bee her, every one relieved! to get rid of her presence. The fact that she was unfriended and penniless seemed to be a simple aggravation. Bnt as ahe stood that, half hesitating and wholly despairing, a one-horse wagon, with buffalo robe thrown over the seat, drove down the road—the charioteer, a tall, raw- boned Yankee, drew rein, and viewed her sharply. \ Be yon Widow Larkin's oompany ?\ said 9.

Mrs. Johmon glanced timidly at him. This, then, was Adam Aokley, the distant cousin, who deigned to help the Widow Larkin In taking oare of her farm, and domineered kindly over her the while. And Adam Ads- ley eyed her under bis thick brown eyelash- es with equal curiosity. The Widow Larkb, In her best cap and blaok allk gown, was atandlng in the door- way, while beyond her portly form one caught a glimpse of a most attractive Inte- rior, bright with firelight and dip oandlee, backgrounded with scarlet moreen curtains, and catching prismatic glitters from tha out glass attd ohina on the tea-tablo.

A few days after this—after the o Us inventory—Eliphalet • chanced to m< bis nephew, Tom \ brother, on the itreet, when he took him b; the button-hole, and drew him aside.' \Tom said the old usurer, \ I want to lave a serious talk with you.' t have been Hooking out my wiL; and I've got you down for just an even five-nnd-twentj thousand dollars 1 That's a pretty sum, isn' it?\ Tom knew not what to say.

Y. Ledger. LONDON PAVEMENTS. Beneath every square foot of wood paving In London there is o. layer of concrete foun- dation five or six feet thick. It is very muoh like tbe macadamized road, only thai it is very deep and very solid. It is made of fragments of stone rolled down in cement and day, and it makes a magnificent bod- rock for the blocks of woods to rest upon. Tha way they roll their macadam streot* hers Is instructive. Over the various layen Of broken atone and cement they run a steam roller whioh is quite a* heavy as the biggest railway engine In America.

On that day Heth's division stopped on the road ldading to the Potamao, distant •bout two and a half miles. We always kept up a line of battle, and on this Occasion halted and formed oa the left, the west side of the road. In a part of our front was an old breastwork that had been abandoned long ago. Our men bad stacked their arms —some were lying on the ground asleep, others were collected in groups, all feeling a Jense of security, as no enemy had ventured in sight since we had left Hagerstown. On a small eminenoe on the front of our line General Heth and Pettigrew and several other officers, including myself, were look- ing back over the route we had traveled, when we noticed a eimali body of cavalry emerg^ from a Btrip of woods, distant about two hundred and fifty yards. After reach- tog the open space they halted and the offl. . cer in command rode to the front as if to Idress the men. We observed them close- i and our group concluded they were con- Werates.

Their horses were>early all killed or so badly crippled as to make them use- less. Only tiro or three were brought off the field, thoujgh they were all captured. I talked with one of the survivors of the regi- ment to whioh this squadron belonged, and he told me their officer was promoted only the day before'for gallant and meritorious servioo. My recollection is that it was a! part of the Sixth Mohigan oavalry. There was a large body of ^avalry a few miles behind this squadron, and We remained at Falling Waters about one hour skirmishing with these. We finally fell back through woods ba line of battle to the river, crossing it with the loss of some stragglers and parts of companies that were detached and lost their way in the woods.—J. B. Moore in f* Philadelphia Weekly Times. WAITUK UlftLSJN GERMANY. Nasby writes ihus of Germany: It is as. tonishing how alike everything is {he world over. Xn these beer halls the waiter girls who have plump, shapely arms wear short sleeves, while those whose arms are very thin and not at all shapely wear long sleeves, holding that short sleeves are im- modest. • This conversation probably ooours between girls of the two types, the plump and the scraggy: \You are entirely right, Bertha darling; short sleeves may be immodest. On such wins as yours, my love, they would be post ively indeoent.\ And then they wouldn't kiss each other, and move oft* as on a campaign against in. oommg thirst. Bnt Pauline, tbe plump, would laugh a saucy laugh, and Bertha, the skinny, would assume a very sour look. Likewise those who are too plain to attract the attention of customers are very severe upon flirting, and have no hesitation in as- lerting that the pretty ones are bold, perl things. It makes but little difference in what country people are born—they are all sons and daughters' of Adam and Eve, and Adam and Eve rtms throngh them all THE R1I AT VENICE. Visitors to Venice are generally contented to view the Piazza of Bt Mark with its glor- Ions architectural surroundings, and to ad- mire the palaoes along the Grand Oana) from the seat of a gondola, but seldom take tbs trouble to explore the highly character- Istio \ riJ,\ as tha amaUer canals are called. Ths inner town is intersected in all direc- tions by these narrow waterways, 140 in number, and crossed by 806 public bridges, while only one bridge, that of the Eialto, spans tbe Grand OanaL There is Bometimes a wharf or a footway along tbs banks of tbs rii, ssoursd by a ptrapet and ths latter pisroadfotwieksts which correspond with ths water gates of tbe mansion.

In the n.>xt place, the coler oi the craft was found to be a vary important matter. After many experiments it was found that a white tinge with blue was the best that oould be adopted.

At Nassau it was exchanged for a barrel of borax, which he sold in Charleston for $4,000 in. the same currency. Again^ he sent out a bale of Sea Island worth $500 and received a bale of women's veils, wnich brought him $13,000. Merchants who bought English cloth at fifty oents per yard had no trouble in disposing of it at home at $? and $8. A pair .of boots costing $2 brought $10 and $12 in Charleston. Tea which could be had ia Nassau for forty oents per pound brought from $14 to $20 in the South.
