THE DEAD_IETTER.My friend Grautfielwyn was employed as a

clerk in the Dead Letter Office, and as rayhealth was not good, I wrote an acceptance tohis cordial invitation to make him a visit, andaccordingly one pleasant May evening foundme nearing Selwyn's home.I received a warm welcome from his family,

which consisted of hia young wife, a rosy,laughing brunette, and his mother.The next morning-after my arrival, Grant

asked me to accompany him to the office."It is rather dull there, I will allow," said

he, "hut you may be. able to find somethingamong the old letters to amuse you."Now, I delight in reading old letters, so I

did not need much urging.We were seated before the long table at the

office, when I noticed a letter directed in a del¬icate, womanly hand, to "Marmaduke Vance,Kiverdale, N. Y." I took it up to examine it,and as I opened the sheet, a plain gold ringfell from it to-?the floor. The words, "Maud,from Duke," were engraven inside. The letterran as follows:"Dear Duke : We must not see each other

again. My father commands me to marry Ja¬cob Armstrong, and I cannot disobey him.You know how stern and unyielding he can be.I have begged and prayed in vain. We mustpart, and this is my last farewell; but I shallalways he true to you. Farewell, dear Duke.L shall never love another. May God bless you.

MAUD."Duke Vance was my dearest friend and

chum in college. His father's death and fail¬ure, soon after we left school, had left himalone in the world, and penniless. So, at thetime the letter was written.nearly two yearsago.he had entered a small dry goods store inthe country town of Kiverdale, on a meagresalary that barely supported him. He wroteto me soon after, and said he was going to Aus¬tralia, and we might never meet again. I won¬

dered whac had caused this sudden decision,and had never forgotten him. But two yearshad passed and brought no word from him, andI had given him up lor dead.On my last visit home, (I had been traveling

for a year,) I had noticed a pale, golden-hairedgirl, flitting around our house; but my shortstay at home had prevented my more thanspeaking to her and learning that her namewas Maud Southerland.that she was our gov¬erness. Her sweet, blue eyes seemed alwaysbrimming over with tears, and had a far-awaylook in them.

After I left home, my mother wrote that shehad lost her governess, just when the childrenloved her so much. That one of the wealthymen of the city.Jacob Armstrong.twiceMaud's age, had been attracted by the beautyof the girl, and had taken her to be mistressof his family home. Poor Maud had almostcried ;aer eyes out, but her father, a poor,worthless creature, had told her if she did notmarry Armstrong, he would kill "that Vancefellow," just as sure as she disobeyed him.This had the desired effect, and Maud was liv¬ing in luxury.

I thought over all this, and took the letterand ring and put them in my packet, resolvedto keep them for Duke Vance, should he ever

return, and tell him what I had learned, for heno doubt thought her heartless, and that sheno longer loved him.r took up a paper to read until time for

Grant to leave, ana this caught my eye amongthe notices of the dead:

"Jacob Armstrong died suddenly of apo¬plexy on the 20th inst."

So, thought I, poor Maud Southerland is free.A few days after, while walking down the

crowded street, I came face to face with DukeVance.

"Trevalyn, old fellow, how are you ?" was

his first greeting, as he grasped my hand."Vance! how came you here? I thought

you were in Australia," said I."So I have been, but am once more in my

native land. Come up to my rooms, my boy,and we will have a talk over old times."He had grown bronzed and brown, but was

still the same Duke of old.After we had chatted awhile, I said, some¬

what abruptly:"By the way, Duke, what has become of the

Ettle golden-haired beauty you used to rave so

about ?"A troubled look of pain came into his fine,

brown eyes."Don't, Guy; you don't know what you ask"He spoke calmly; but the muscles around

his bearded mouth trembled.Without further ado, I placed the letter and

ring in his hand, while I explained how theycame into my possession.He read it and sprang to his feet, all the

look of pain gone for a moment."Dear friend," he cried, "you have made me

a new man. "But," he added, "it is too latenow ; she is my Maud no longer. But I knowshe loves me still, wherever she is, no matterwhat is her name." And he «unk back in hisseat with a sigh.

I quietly gave him the paper, and pointed toold Armstrong's death. He seized his hat anddarted from the room, without so much as bid¬ding me good-bv«.Two weeks after, I was at home again, and,

walking down the street one evening in June,a hand was placed on my shoulder, and a rich,manly voice said :

"Aren't vou going to speak to an old friend,Trevalyn ?"

I turned, and caught Duke Vance by thehand; eager words uf inquiry trembling on

my lips. But he broke out with."I have found her, Guy, and I am the happi¬

est man alive V"Of course, you are," said I, laughing. "All

accepted lovers are the happiest men in theworld. Accept my hearty congratulation."He laughed merrily. All the eld look was

gone from his eyes, and in its place was a

steady, shining light, and I knew he was happy."Come with me, Guy," he said ; "I am just

going to see Maud. She will be glad to see

you, for we have talked of nobody but you, ex¬

cept ourselves," laughing."So, Duke," said L on the way, "you are not

afraid that she will think you a fortune-hunt¬er ?""No, indeed I You told mc my good news

So soon that day, I did not have time to tellyou I mado my fortune in Australia; and Iam nearly as wealthy as her former husband.We will not be married until New Year's. Youwill be present on the occasion ?"

"I shall be only too happy," was my reply.We reached the house and rang the bell. A

servant let us in, and at the same moment a

fairy form came flying down the stairway, anda silvery voice cried:"Oh, Duke, what made you."She stopped abruptly at sight of mo. He

put his arm around her, and drew her to his

aide."Darling, you remember Guy?""To be sure I do," was her reply, and she

came and put.her small, white hands in mine,and'said, earnestly \fX fi

"I *never forgot your-fäce, alt-hough I saw itso few times. You.locked as though you pitiedme, and pity then then was sweet Since, Ihave cause to remember yon, for yon were themeans of our häppiness. I can never thankyou as \ should." ¦ ,

"No"thanks are needed, Mrs. Armstrong,? Iansweredj "I am only too glad to do anythingfor my friend Dnke."

They were married at. New Year's and are

lovers still; for their union was blest with a

deep, pure love that will always last Neitherof them will ever forget those dark yearsthrough which they passed to the happinessbeyond._-.-

A Game or Poker on the Cars..A travel¬ing correspondent of the Courier-Journil tellsthe folioMfc story of a game of railroad pokerhe saw played recently:We were soon enlivened by the appearance

of a Cincinnati support en reute for the springs,and a Louisville clothier goin£ to New Orleans,who began to play a lively game, twenty-fivecents ante, ana no limit at all. Our sympa¬thies were soon arrayed on the side of Louis¬ville, who played a square game, and againstCincinnati, who rung in all the foul tricks heknew. Louisville was a little dark-haired,bright-eyed man, a German Jew, but as honestas day. Cincinnati was a big red-face mus-

tachio, pretty sharp, and thoroughly unscrupu¬lous.When^Cincinnati had won about three hun¬

dred dollars, one of us took Louisville asideand told him what was going on, while anotherstuck an ace up one sleeve and a king up theother.'*Now" said they, "he's been cheating you

from the first, and if you want to get even, youmust do as we tell you."

Louisville said he would.They told him to wait until he got two aces

or two kings; then to/etch down one of the oddcards from his sleeve, and to "go in."The very next hand he got four kings.They began to bet, Cincinnatti saw his ten

and went five. Louisville went fifty better.Cincinnatti raised him a hundred. Louisvillecame to time and added a fifth to it. Cincin¬natti responded and put on a hundred more.

Louisville said, "I'm in," and called him.There-were nearly seven hundred dollars on thetable, and Cincinnati laid down four aces.

Louisville raked the money in his lap and laiddown five kings."Why," says Cincinnati, "that's barefaced

swindling.""Swindlin' pe damn," says Louisville. "It's

Seen swindlin' all de time," bringing his fistown fiat"Go in, Israel" says a voice."Well," says Cincinnatti, rising, "I think I'll

just fight on that,""Oh my Abednego," says another voice.But little Louisville rose up and pocking out

his neck and hands as far as they could reach,says:

"Fight, is it? Fight? Py Gods I fight youmit de bowie knife, mit de pistol, mit de der¬ringer, mit de Colt's navy, mit de gun, mit desword, mit de cannon, or mit de dam'd old mus¬ket mid de bayonet! I fights you mit anyding,an' I fight you right now. Vieh vou choose?"

Cincinnatti concluded he wouldn't fight. Hesaid the crowd was agaiust him, declared hecouldn't get fair play, and got off at the nextstation.

Standing Treat.. A traveller may go allover the continent of Europe, of Asia andAfrica, without seeing any man, except an

American, offer to 'treat,' and the Frenchmenare quite social enough, but when they turninto a cafe, to sip their wine and brandied coffeetogether, each man pays for his own. Whentwo Germans, long separated, meet, they willbe very likely to embrace, and then to turn intoan adjacent beer cellar, sit down and drinklager and eat pretzels, and chat, but when theySart again, each man settles his own score in-ependently. So in Italy. The Italians are

proverbially merry and generous, but every manpays for bis own wine macaroni and cigars.They never go into each other's pocket-booksin the sacred name of friendship. They wouldas soon think of transferring to each other theirwasherwoman's bills.The preposterous fashion of 'treating* is re¬

sponsible lor the terrible drunkenness in Amer¬ica. There would be as little need of temper¬ance societies and like work for the Good Tem¬plars as there is in Germany, France and Italy,if this pernicious and insidious habit was abol¬ished. It is, take all in all, the most ridicu¬lous, the most unreasonable, and the most pesti¬lent custom that ever laid its tyrannical handson civilized human beings.Marry Her First..Many years ago, in

what is now a flourishing city lived a stalwartblacksmith, fond of his pipes and his jokes. Hewas also fond of his blooming daughter, whosemany graces had ensnared the affections of a

voung printer. The couple, after a season ofbilling and cooing, "engaged themselves," andnothing but the consent of the young lady's pa¬rents preventing their union. To obtain this,an interview was arranged, and typo prepared a

little speech to admonish and convince the oldman, who sat enjoying his pipe in perfect con¬

tent. The typo dilated on the fact of thier longfriendship, their mutual attachment, their hopesfor the future, and like topics, and taking thedaughter by the hand, said : "I am now come,sir, to ask your permission to transplant thislovely flower from its parental".but his feel¬ings overcame him, and he forgot the remain¬der of his oratorical flourish, stammered andfinally wound up with, "from its parental bedinto njy own." The father keenly relished thediscomfiture of the suitor, and removing hispipe and blowing a clould, he replied : "Wellyoung man, I don't know as I have any objec¬tion, provided you marry the girl first."

A Mechanic's Sknsatioxal Adventure..The Louisiana Savings Bank is building a

large vault. Admission to it is gained throughlarge wrought-iron doors, to which are aflixedpatent locks. Those locks were put in orderyesterday by a locksmith named Tvmpc. Alterarranging the fastenings on the door he lit a

candle and proceeded inside the vault to sec

how they fitted. Closing the door alter him,the eccentric catch of the lock fell, locking himin. Those upon the outside could render himno assistance, since it was a combination lock,and no one knew the numbers at which it wasset. In this narrow cell, shut in by the fourwalls of the vault and the huge iron door, theman felt as if he was buried alive. The onlymeans by which he could obtain air or drinkwas through a small hole in the door, notthe twentieth of an inch in diameter. The at¬mosphere of the cell-like place was fetid andnoisome, and the man felt as if he would suffo¬cate. Fortunately he had carried with him in¬to the vault a hammer and chisel, and withthem, the only instruments he had, he procee¬ded to cut his way out. The work was slowand tedious, and required two hours and a halfof incessant labor. He succeeded at last, how¬ever, and was taken more dead than alive fromthe vault. The wonder is that be did not suffo¬cate.

. An editor in New Jersey recently pub¬lished a long obituary notice of an uncle ofhis who died out in Australia and left $400,-000,000 to his only nephew. The intimate ac¬

quaintances of the editor regard this story as

the preliminary of a carefully-devised schemeto get trusted for a couple of winter undershirts.Persons who have such articles for sale are

warned not to give credit to any editor whotells such a story unless he has with him thedead body of the uncle, with the money in thepantaloons pocket of tho corpse.

Couldn't See It..In Erie; Pa., there is anelderly gentleman who until recently, was

much annoyed by visits from life insuranceagents. One day an agent called upon him,and in a glib manner commenced enumeratingthe advantages of insuring in a trustworthycompany."What's the use of insuringmy life?" said

Mr. B. "If I die it won't do me any good. Idon't see the. gense of it."The agent then proceeded to tell him that in

case of his death his wife would receive theamount for which he was insured, and wouldthus be placed beyond the reach of want.On hearing this Mr. B. became furious, and

shouted."Oh, that's your game, is it? Well wouldn't

I be a pretty iool to be making things comfort¬able for my wife's second husband ? Just afterinsuring I'd be certain, almost, to get sick anddie. Then my wife would go among herneighbors, and brag about the money she h*»dreceived froft your company. Some otherblasted fool, hearing of her good luck, wouldpropose and marry her; and then he wouldtake her on his knee and kiss her; and laughover my stupidity while they were spendingmy money; and I would be compelled, to liein m v grave, like a darned fool, unable to say a

word.".-o-

Don't Hurry..Believe in traveling on

step by step; don't expect to be rich in ajump.Slow and sure is better than fast and flimsey.Perseverence, by its daily gains, enriches a manfar more than fits and starts of fortunate spec¬ulations. Little fishes are sweet. Every day a

thread makes a skein in a year. Brick by brickhouses are built. We should creep before wewalk, walk before we run, and run before weride. In getting rich, the more haste the worstspeed. Haste trips up its own heels. Don't

?;ive up a small business till you see that a

arge one will pay you better. Even crumbsare bread. Better a little furniture than an

empty house. In these hard times, he who cansit on a stone and feed himself had better notmove. From bad to worse is poor improve¬ment. A crust is hard;fare, but none at all isharder. Don'tjump out of the frying pan intothe fire. Remember, many men have donewell in very small shops. A little trade withprofit is better than a great concern at a loss;a small fire that warms you is better than a

large fire that burns you. A great deal ofwater can be got from a small pipe, if the buck¬et is always there to catch it. Large haresmay be caught in small woods. A sheep mayget fat in a small meadow, and starve in a greatdesert. He who undertakes too much succeedsbut little..John Ploughman's Talles.

. The Hartford Times comments on theelection farce in this State as follows:Gov. Scott and his friends of South Carolina

sat on the ballot-boxes of that State all of thelast week. It was not precisely like a coroner'sinquest, nor like anything known to civilizedGovernment. It was more like a band of ban¬ditti sitting on and dividing the effects of thetraveler whose property they had taken byforcu. Scott ana Company have been chargedwith manifold corruptions, and with havingpassed laws for their own benefit, and injuriousto oihers. After keeping the ballot-boxes withthe votes in them^one week in secret, they arenow about prepared to announce the results.At the close of last week they foreshadowedabout what they intended to proclaim, viz: there-election of Scott for Governor, by a reducedmajority; a Legislature, used for plunder, two-thirds Radicals; two negro Congressmen, andprobably three; one white man. Isn't this"lovely."

Saw It at Last..A merchant came intoa printing-office a short time since, and seeinga pile of papers lying on the table.it beingpublication day.unceremoniously helped him¬self to a copy, and said:

"I s'pose you don't take any pay for just one

paper?""Not always," was the reply.Shortly afterwards the printer entered the

merchants store and called for a pound of rai¬son«, which was quickly weighed out to him.The printer took the raison.?, saying:

"I s'pose you don't charge anything when a

fellow don't take but a pound ?""No," said the grocer, after seeing the disad¬

vantage under which he was placed by his ownstingy illiberality toward the printer, and re¬marked :"When I get any more newspapers from a

printer I'll pay for them."

Come to Life..It is not often that peoplehave a chance to quarrel with the authors oftheir obituaries, and even when coming to lifeafter having been ineffectually killed, theyseldom are disposed to find fault with the postmortem remarks upon their characters. InKentucky, however, an editor who wrote theobituary of a neighbor, reported killed, hasbeen sued for libel oy the supposed deceased,who, unhappilv for the editor, has returned tolife. The dead man, who wouldn't stay dead,informs the Court in his affidavit, that he hasbeen injured in reputation and business by theeditor's obituary to the amount of $10,000. Ajury should make very short work of this res¬

urrectionist, for if an editor caunot write obit¬uaries without having ghosts coming fromtheir graves to vex him with libel suits, whatpossible security can he expect to have in hisbusiness ?

. A poet says : "Oh. she was fair, but sor¬row came and left its traces there!" What be¬came of the remainder of the harness he doesnot state.. "Was it your eldest daughter, madam, that

was bitten by a monkey?" "No, sir, it was myyoungest. My eldest daughter had a worsemisfortune; she married a monkey."

A young lady at Keokuk was so dissatis¬fied with her baptismal name that she got mar¬ried to change it. So Isadora Pryzbylowiezbecame Mrs. Jabez Snooks, and iccls muchbetter.

A priest asked a tipsy fellow, leaningagainst the fence, where he expected to gowhen he died? "If I can't get along any bet¬ter than I do now," said he "I shan't go any¬where."

Two Irishmen were traveling, when theystopped to examine a guide board. "Twelvemiles to Portland," said one. "Just six milesapiece," said the other. And they trudged on

apparently satisliied at the small distance.. A school girl, in writing to her mother,

says : "I get along nicely with all my teachersexcept Miss-; but I don't blame her,because sho accidentally shot tho young man

she was engaged to, and it naturally makesher feel kind of cross, especially on cloudydays.". The Scottsville Register says that the Rev.

Mr. leathers, meeting a Confederate duringthe late war, commenced a religious conversa¬tion with him by asking if he was in posses¬sion of "the one thing needful"; whereuponthe soldier, in innocency of heart, pulled out ofhis pocket a tickler and said he believed he"had a little left."

"Mr. Smith," said a lawyer to his land¬lord, "if a man were to give you five hundreddollar- to keep for him, and he died, whatwould you do? Would you pray for him ?" "No,sir," replied Mr. Smith, "I'd pray for anotherlike him.". A. visitor from down East went to Storm

Lake, Towa, a few days ago, to feast his delight¬ed visi sn on a farm which he had recently pur¬chased in that vicinity.having paid $4.öO per-acre for the whole of section 10, township 90north, range 37 west. He found that the soilwas very rich, but needed draining, the sectionbeing in the center of the lake, and seven feetunder water at the shallowest corner. In win¬ter it is said to be an ice farm.

. A clergyman, who had considerable of a

farm, as was generally the case in our fore¬fathers' days, went out to see one of his labor¬ers, who was plowing in the field, and hefound him sitting upon the plow, resting histeam..

"John," said he, "would it not be a good planfor yon to have a stub-scythe here, ana behubbing a few bushes while the oxen are rest¬ing?"John, with a countenance which might have

well become the clergyman himself, instantlyreplied:

Would it not be well, sir, for yon to hare a

Bwingling-board in the pulpit, and when theyare singing, to swingle a little flax?"The reverend gentleman turned on his; heel,

laughed heartily, and said no more about hub¬bing bushes.
