Miscellany. DOT'S CHOICE. Dot Morrison eat on a heap of new-mown nay in the great, green meadow, a huge sux hat tilted over her eyes, and a volnme oi \ Owen Meredith \ upon her knee. But she was no,t reading; her eyes,. deep is wells, and brown as brown could be, were fixed upon the blue sky overhead, while one slender hand supported ther otmd, dimpled 3hin. Kot a beanry, this tittle heroine of .mice; •t a aweet, winsomj, lovenble girl, wbose history was a somewhat unusual one. * Years before a little, nameless waif had been found upon the doorstep of Farmet Morrison's brown farm-house, a little girl, so imaU that when fbe kind-hearted farmer and hit good wife decided to keej her as thefr own, they selected the old-fashioned name of Dorothea, iti diminutive of \ Dot\ being so »ppropiate. And Dot she had remained ever since growing up in the brown farm-house, a ver- itable raj of snnshino. They had not concealed from her know, ledge her real history; for the farmer and his wife were sensible people, who believed that all concealment was folly, and brought more trouble sometimes than the knowledge of the troth. The Morrisons bad bat one child of tbeii own, a boy j and Ralph Morrison bad grown op at Dot'e side, her stoat champion In all hec battles, ready to lay down his life in Dot's defense. He bad been eduoated well, and was absent now at a medical college, soon eppeotlng to make his debut as a physician. Dot al*o had received a thorough eduoa- ttoD, and was quite accomplished. Sitting on the new-mown bay, watohing the fleeoy olouds sailing aoross the blue sky, Dot's thoughts went rambling away to tbe oity about fifty miles distant, from whenoe Ralph wonld soon wtom, a newly-fledged M. D. \ Dear old Ralph,\ tbe said softly, to bey. \ •e*etaW <t #leut \By Jove 1\ The sxolamation startled the girl and oat »r soliloquy short; she turned her eyes in •nrprised wonder to see- a UU young mat, »err slender and very Affected, M well « ffeminate, with straw-colored whiskery and huge mustaohe of the same dubious hue, leaning against the rail fenoe a f«w Net dis- tant, watching her through his eye-glaes with undisguised admiration, a stranger to sr, quite. As their glitnoermet, he sprang over tbe. w fsnoe and advanced slowly, lifting bit Straw bat with eat? graoe. * ' Beg your pardon/'»e *>••«. end.

Her real name is Clare Mont- gomery, and she is the heiresi to one hun dred thousand dollars.\ What r shouted the old fanner, spring ing to his feet, in his haste overturning the bowl ot milk upon tbe spotless floor of th« porch. One hundred thousand,\ repeated th< lawyer, gllWy. •' Of course everything is U be proven all in good tune; but right now my boaineas ia to repeat the story: \Eighteen years ago Mrs. Montgomery, a young widow with oue child, a girl, was traveling through a distant state, when her baby was. stolen from her by a woman whom the bid somehow offended. It seems that tired of the oare of tbe child, and left it here on your doorstep, Mr. Mor- rison. Mrs. Montgomery wa* almost heart- broken, and for yean did nothing bat search for tbe obfld, bat all in vain. \ At last, nearly dead with consumption and heart-broken, too, I tblnk, she snn> moned me (I am her nephew, and nearest living relation) and caused me to drav np her will, charging me to find her child li it still survived. \looual succeeded, the young lady would become my wife, and together we would inherit tbe fortune. I oan readily prove all this to your satisfaction, Mr. Mor- \ on. \I have traoked the stolen Infant to this part of the oountry through tbe dying con. of the miserable woman who abduoi ed her, and I am convinced that the young lady yonder is tbe lost Glare Montgomery. In case she refuses to* accede to the is of her mother's will, the money goes to a distant connection by marriage, whos< name I nave not yet learned. But I trust tbe young lady will consent. I am read) and willing.\ And he threw a glance of bold admiraUoft tDot. \She does not oonsent,\ orled the girl, springing to her feet. \ I will never bartet my happiness for money—I never will.\ And sinking into her seat again, she burnt into passionate tears. The look on the law- yer-s face was not good to see. \ Humph 1\ he ejaculated. \ You'll gel iver that, I reckon.\ So absorbed were they all in this strang« narration—Mrs. Morrison's rosy face pallid, the old farmer staring in undisguised aston- ishment— that they did not observe that the outer gate had opened, and a tall figure wa» eoming rapidly up the walk to the porch. Dot, glanoing np through her tsars, sprang forward and wae caught in the arms of the oew-«omer. \Ralph oh, Ralph!\ she panted, \I'm so glad you bare oome.\ \ So am I,\ he whispered. ''Dot, answei 9.

The trouble is right here. Our lodge is to give a ' mum social 1 this evening. You know what a mum social is.

Now that I think of it, I noticed that he unbuttoned his shirt sleeves and be- gan to roll them up. I did not think of it at the time, but his arms were as big as my legs.
