BY THE AUTHOR or ‘ Miss SLIMMENs.’ (Form Godey’s Magazg no. ’Go ahead, driver; don’t wait no longer for me,’ said I to the con- ductor, as I stopped aboard the train. I’d seen my trunk safe on, bank hands with father and a lot of the neighbours, and kissed Kitty Caraxvay right in the face of the whole crowd. As the whistle yell- ed and the locomotive took a good start I waved my new red banner at Kitty and settled back in my seat with a feeling of satisfaction only equaled by the occasion. I had on my best boughtcn suit, and also a smile which I make no doubt would have passed me off for a bridegroom on his bridel tower it tlicre’d been a purty girl beside me, which there Wasn’t. But I knew Rcub Lummins was a feeling worse than sour apples from seeing me kiss the one I did when I come away, for lie’d made up his mind he’d cut me out in that quarter. And so he had till the things happened which was the oc- casmn of my present journey. It was of a Tuesday I started:- Wall, the Tuesday before I'd come of age. I’d been out all day. break- ing ground for corn and potatoes, and thinkiii’ to myself that I was twenty-one at last, and wondering if Kitty CarraWay didn’t feel sorry she’d give me the mitten, and gene home with Reub from spelliu’-school the last time it kept; likewise if father had any intentions of givin’ me part of the farm to work for myâ€" self. When I washed myself at the pump and went in to supper, I thought at first mother had company, the table was set so nice, with a white tablecloth and custard pie and preserves. 'Come, ’Bijah, sit by; the hisâ€" cuits is getting cold,” said she. ‘ Who’s here 'I’ says I. I ‘ You be,’ says she ; ‘ you’re com~ I S pany to-night, ’Bijzih. VVe’rc at keeping your birthday. Come hus- band, sit by.’ So we sat down. First I went round and give mother a smack, comin’ nigh to brctikin’ the china teacup she was sitting in its saucer; but I believe If I’d broke it out and out she’d only have laughed, she and father was in such good humor. Ploughing hadn’t hurt my appe- tite, and I pitched into the chicken fixing in the same style that I’d pitched into the work. They didn’t say much till I was ready to push ymy chair back, and then father be cleared his throat, just as he did in the Sunday evening exhortatiors, for he was a deacon, and began : ' ‘How would you like to keep .. Caraway. Now, if there was anything in the prettiertlian ever, with blushing and world I’d had an ambition for, ,it looking down. was to keep store; I’d never ex- picked up her spunk, and began be. pected any such good luck, though, ing as saucy as. a spring wmd. and [just stared at him, without ex- actly knowing what he was driving at. . . . ‘ Beeause,’ Said he, ‘ mOthe‘r’n' 'l have talked it over. You’re the only child we’ve got to perVIde for ; you’ve been an obedient, dutiful son, and the long and short of it is, ifvou like storekeepiug bettern’ farming, you can just pack your duds, go down to York, buy your stock, and begin for yourself.’ ‘Jeruâ€"sha I’ said I jumping up so sudden as to knock my chair over, and cuttings pigeon wing ’fore I stopped. "Bijah,’ said mother, mildly. yes or no 9’ ‘ don’t swear.’ ‘I didii’t come within gunshot of swearing, mother. But what am I going to buy goods with, father, I'd like to know I’ ‘ lash, my son.’ ‘ Where's it to come from I’ ‘ From a certain linen bag in the bureau drawer,’ said mother, speak- ing before'she’d thought, for she’d meant to let dud tell the story- ‘ We hain’t spent all we’ve made in the last twenty year,’ father went 0ii; we’ve had your futur’ in our eyes; we’veâ€"J ‘ Yes.’ broke in the old lady again, ‘ I’ve had that futur’ in my eye every pound of butter I churned, every egg I laid up to carry to town. A good many of them hard~earned dollars were put in by me, my son” ‘ How much is there I’ I couldn’t help asking. . ‘ Guess,’ says mother proudly. ‘ Two hundred dollars I’ ‘ TWO lhousand,’ said both of em' in the same breath. ‘Jeâ€"mimal’. hollered I. cutting another wing. ' ‘And a hundred more,’ went on marm ‘that I’ve laid up myself to pay your expenses to York and back. And we have hired the store down to the Four Corners, that Job Hig- ginson has gone out of, and you’ll have the post-office with it, and there’s great need of a store there. folks say, and you’ll be sure of our custom, at least, ’Bijah, and Aunt Susan and a good many of the neigh- bor’s. Isholl buy all my calicOes of you, and the kersimere for your fa- ther’s pantaloons, and our tea and groceries; and you can trade for my butter, which is always snatched up; and we’re sure you’ll do well if you don’t go in debt, or trust too much; and I want you to bring on some first rate tea, ’Bijah, and be sure and don’t buy fadey calico.’ The old man had leaned back in the chair, and let mot-her tell the hull story, for she’d got started and couldn’t stop, and when she was through, he went in the keeping room, and unlocked the bureau drawer, and took out a bag. and come in, and put it down on the table and says. ‘Therc’s our birthday present, my soon.’ Well, I hugged ’em both till'thcy was out of breath 3 and I couldn’t help cry a little, as well as laughing. and marm cried, of course, and we’ had a great Old time. and I didn’t sleep a wink that night. And that’s how it happened .I was on the way to York, feelin, about as contented as human nature is ever allowed. It was on It Tuesday I started.â€" Wall, the Sunday night before, I concluded I’d try my luck with Kitty I’d pictty much made up my mind she favored Reub the most; but I knew the reason of itâ€"- Reub’s father’s house was a two‘ story brick, with a piazzar in front, and he kept a farm hand to favor Reub, who lazed around, and he had plentv of time to be perlite to girls; while my father’s house was a story and a half frame, and I hadn’t no partic’lar time, ’cept Sun- days and evenings. I was better lOoltin’ than Reub, and smarter by long sight, and Kitty knew it, bu1 she thought I wouldn’t be so well off. Girls, as a general thing. are mighty romantic, but their romance allers settles on a new coat or a big house, like a bee on a holly hock.â€" Kitty hadn’t heard of the rise in life I’d experience, and I calkulated once on a good share of enjoyment in letting her know of it at the right time. I put on my best suit, and a dandelion in my buttonhole, for it was too early for other posics, and set out about sundown. When I come to deacon Carawoy’s there we Kitty, all alone in the keeping- room, looking considerable ashamed of the mitten she’d give me, and Y’. DEEEMBER o, 18 mained there tillirhe got an excuse for taking a cat in another car.â€" It’s a. free country ain’t it, where a feller can’t ,gtriti when he’s enjoying himself, without-being» taken up for it! I set, out with the "intention of having a good'ggie, and included in? the bill Was” the. privilege of latilii’ig‘ as much as I wanted to. However. she soon I didn’t mind her independence‘much, not even when she twitted me slyly the spellin’-school and the 'sug'o'rm’ofi’, When she” accepted "all Reub’s wax hearts and eggshells, and none of mine. As it got along towards nine o’cIOCk, and I knew the old lady Would be calling out that it was bedtime before long, I hitched my chair close up to Kitty, and took hold of her hand. ‘ I’m of age, now, Kitty, and I’ll be ready to get married next fall; will you have me ?’ ' ' ’Bijah Beanpole, go long 1’ ‘Can you hitch horses with me-â€"- Now I’ve never been troubled with being bash- ful, like so many country boys. I calkilate to keep my eyes open, and ifI ‘can find out what I want by asking questions, I generally ask a few. Some people, so stiff and sot up that they can’t answer a civil question, calls me inquisitive, as if it wasn’t desirable to be of an inquir- ing turn of mind. I’ve found out pretty much all I know in that way â€"-easy and cheap. There was some very obliging little boys come round in the cars and gave us picture-papers to amuse ourselves with; but just as I’d get interested in ’em, they’d come along back and take ’em away. We was tearing along tremenjously, about three o’clock in the afternoon, when all of a sudden the engine gave a yell, and we pitched into the dark quicker’n no time. What had took place was unknown to me; I couldn’t see, and there was such an awful crashing and roaring I could’nt ask anybody. I didn’t know but the engine had pitched into the Black Swamp, and was making downward for a place I’d always been warned against to go. I held my breath and grabbed hold of the rim of my Iiat and you’d better believe I felt nowisc unwilling when I saw a streak of daylight ahead. In a minute more we was all right. ‘ What’n thunder was that ‘l’ I made free to ask of a person on the next seat, who sat there looking as cool as a cucumber. ‘ That I” said he, as if surprised, ‘ oh that’s a great bo're.’ _ ‘I should rather think it was,’ said I. ‘My hair stood up so I had to hold my hat on. I’m glad there wern't nobody hurt. I was afraid my but would get smashed. I set great store by that hat.’ ‘ I should think Iikely,’ replies he, ‘you seem to have had it some time.’ ‘ Going on five year. It’s my first hat and only. However, I calkilate on getting a new one when I get to York. I’m going down there to buy goods. Can you tell me what tavern I’d better put up all I don’t want none of your common jafi'airs. I’ve got a hundred dollars to pay bills, and I want none ofyour cheap taverns.

I_ felt uneasy about my money,.wliich I’d carried in two inside pockets mother had sewed in the lining of my. coat. ‘If any of them rogues get in here I’ll play them a trick,’ thinks I. So I took my pocket-book, with some cents and quarters in it, and my sil- ver watch which hadn’t gone tor several years, and put ’em conspicuously on the chair, clus to the head of my bed, while I tucked away my two thousand dollars be- tweeen the tick and the bolster, and fell asleep so sound that I never waked up till long after broad day light.

ABOUT Cor.ons.â€"-Let the wise men of science say what they will, there are only three primitive col- ors, viz: red, yellow. and blue.â€" Black is no color at all. White isa combination of all colors. Green, orange, violet, etc.,‘are butcombina- tions of these primary colors. So says common sense, whatever phil- osophy may say to the contrary.â€" Colors are like tones on the ear, de- pend for their character on the force of their ,impressron upon the retina of the eye. This is why the blind man said scarlet was, to him, like the sound of a trumpet; for the greatest force of color-impression on the eye is scarlet, and the least is blue. Greenâ€"a composition of yel- low and blueâ€"is the medium force; anzl hence it is the most universal color throughout Nature. It is a co- lor, by the way, which the photo- ~ graphic art cannot reproduce at all. Blue, under the photograph, comes out white,but still can be chemically developed, they say; but green is obstinate (most ‘ green ’ things are obstinate,) and, like Lady Macbeth’s blood-spot, will not ‘out’ by all the persuasive known in chemistry. It seems ridiculous to say that we hear colors, as well as sounds; but prac- tically we do, though the usual or- gan of hearing is not employed for the purpose. All these seeming inâ€" consistencies to us would be consis- tent enough If we only had that iii- finite wisdom, in the eyes of whom all is harmony because all is understood. LONG TIME AGO.â€"N01Illng can be more interesting to our judgment than an opportunity to examine the houses, utensils. ornaments,dome‘stic conveniences, etc., of a people who lived two or three thousand years ago. How such an opportunity carries the mind back to past ages. and bids it revel in scenes and ad- ventures for which we can find no counterpart now-a-daysl The exa cavzitions at Pompeii, in Italy, afford just such a luxury. We have gazed for hours at the unearthed relics of antiquity on the site of that once great city, and those relics are so numerous as to satisfy the most ex. citing curiosity.
