bad no right to complain of her father's

He sant ber to the best schools, and gavo

MISER
•' I'm is love with ber," said the uohap-
nekrit•
" 13eiebeg" said Mack Bill.
' Fact, rejoined Bittles.
Wbt'e your Income 1'
' Eight hundred; answered tbe appli-
cant.
' 1t won't do, my boy," said Griffin,
sbakmg hts grim locks. ' No man on a sa-
lary shall marry mey daughter. Wby, ale's
the ios.t girt is Boston, and it takes ea
petal to marry a 6ue girl. Wbeo you have
thirty thoueaad dollen to begin with, ycu
may come ties end talk with me.'
Bittles disappeared. Six months after
that, Mess Mary Grim received a letter,
with as e.donement of Uncle Sam, ac-
koowtedging the receipt of forty cents.
It res thus :
San Francisco, California, 185".1
Dearest Mary,-
Esclo.ed you will fiod a specimen of
California gold, which please hand to your
father, and oblige. Have to advise you of
ay return to Boston. Please tell your
tither that 1 hate made fifty thousand dol-
lars at the mines, and shall, wind and wea-
ther permitting, soon call upoo him to talk
over that matter, and arrange terms of
partership.
Yours to command,
SAMPSON B1TTLza.'
Mary, as in duty bound, handed the
epistle to ber father, who was overjoyed.
Some weeks elapsed, and the return of
the steamer to New York was telegraphed.
Grin was on the qui rice 00 purpose to
see his future son-in-law.
On the day of his expected arrival, !he
met a Californian who had returned home
in the ship.
' Where's Bittles 1' be enquired.
Oh, you will see him before a great
while, replied the Californian.
Iles be been lucky 1'
' Yes; fifty thousand dollars at the low-
est calculation. Bot be's going to try a
game over you. He means to tell you that
he's been robbed of all Lis gold on the wav
home, to see if you have any generosity of
disinterestedness: to see whether you would
give your daughter to him, gold or no' gold.'
' Sly boy !' chuckled old Griffin. ' I'm
much obliged to you for the hint. I'll act
accordingly. Good morning.'
Now it happened that the Californian
was a good friend of Bittles, and that the
story of Bittle's misfortunes was absolutely
true, he having been robbed of every ounce
of his beard earned gold dust on %us way
home. So it may be supposed he called
on Griffin with a very lugubrious and wo-
begone air.
My dear boy,' said Uncle Bill, • I am
delighted to see you, and pleased to hear
of your luck. I welcome you as my son-
in-law. But what the deuce is the mat-
ter with you 1'
'Alas, Sir,' said Bittles, ' I made
$50,000 at the mines.'
Very hard luck !' interrupted the old
gentleman, chuckling.
' But oo my way home I was robbed of
every ounce, and now bow can I claim
your daughter's hand 1'
' Sampson Bittles,' said Uncle Bill, veer
cunningly,' if you haven't $50,000 you de-
serve to hare it; you've woe ked bard
enough to get it. You shall have toy
daughter,•and the marriage shall be cele-
brated to -morrow night. to aoticipatioo
of your returo, 1 have had you pubfebed.
And while you are talking to Mary, I'll
draw you a check for $50,000, so that
you may go Into partnership with suffieieot
capital.'
But, sir, I am a beggar.'
' So much the better; you'll work the
harder to increase your fortune.'
' My dear sir, how can I thank you 1'
' By making my girl a good husband. -
There --go-go and tell Mary 111. oewa.'
Bittles did tell her the news, and they
were married. Ile went into business o0
the $50,000 ftrsiabed by his fatber-in-law,
a0d wee so extraordinarily prosperous, that
U.e1s Bill was more coovinced thea ever
that the story was a regular MOscNesee.
Ore. or twice be tried to repeat it, bet
14 old getlkmao always eat it short with
' I know all about it Had it pet in the

Gfair! Lost WI! Paw tellow. Well, I

FROM LJNDON PUNCH.
1Voat I Saw' beard, and thought at
Chobham.-( By one s14e had serially been
LArre.)-1 saw the light Cavalry sq heavily
accountered, that it seemed a perfect farce
ever to have ordered them on active service.
1 saw the infancy dressed tosoch tortbring•
ly tight coats, that it1 appeared • bitter
mockery to bid them "stand at ease;' and
i thought that what made them smart cm
parade, must maks them anything but
smart on actual esrvice. i yaw tae troops
generally learning to stood water as well
as to stand fire: and I thought a drenching
shower rather seemed to damp their military
arIoor.
i thought that most of the regiments, io
attackiog a sham enemy, would be .'tack
el by a real one in the shape of rheumatism;
while many • brave fellow who never own-
ed. defeat, wou!d return to his quarters
completely weather-beaten. 1 heard young
Ensign Drawhegto■ complain that it was
a "borwid aw fa e, who's-aw-food of
Opera .ad Claa-and aw-that earthing,
to bo fawceJ to leave town for this fcroai
camp Osiers:" and i tbo ig11 this gallant
officer would feel coosidenbly mere •t
borne in the Theatre of St. Jaws, tae in
be theatre of war. 1 saw • force of Dearly
two dozen policeman, sent to keep io order
D early by ten thousand ase.; and 1 thought
that the "force" should be rather called a
"weakness" oo the part of the Government.
la short i saw an all side. sufficient ground
for thinking that there aro few S.,er fields
for °barvat:on eat at present 'ban the

A NIGH -1' WITII CHARLES FOX
AND WILLIAM P1'1'l'.
(From tree London Preu.)
Yes, there stalks Ike stately figure of
William Pitt, marching aloug the gang-
way to the Treasury bench. Ile looks
like one bunt for power, with that wide
imperial brow -that lordly air of supre-
macy -that sovereign stare at the (root of
Opposition. There is somethiag of his
sire about his carriage, but his features
hare the Grenville look, as Lis blood par-
takes of its phlegm. Ile is dressed with
elaborate formality, in Lis customary black
waistcoat and blue -body coat. And now
there is fresh noise below the gangway ;
and while the speaker is roaring " Order,
order, below the bar," in comes the much
desired Charles Fos, greatly to the relief
of the discomfitted opposition, who now
have the worst of the debate.
At last Pitt rises. All is bushed. Hs
figure seems too tall for an orator, and his
aspect is forbidding with its stern and
haughty air. Brit his voice is that of a
demigod. How gloriously it fills the ear,
as the speaker's swelling sentences are
Gently rolled forth in melli5uoss harmony.
The action is Sawing and facile, too Ultra-
ried for perfectly artistic grace, but with
enough of elocutionary art. Not only
every' word, but every syllable is distinctly
caught. If we had not beard him, we
could scarcely imagine this blended force
and harmony, this energy without discord,
this ma-vellous felicity united to imposing
stateliness. In his words, as 4 his matter,
there is no appeal to our imagination ; but
the whole man, with his air of heaven -giv-
ing lictarship, his avec-inspiring severity
of deportment, his lofty scorn for bis foes,
his evident faith in himself -justified by his
vast powers, --we say the whole man does
kindle up our imagioatioo, and vitalises our
recollection o1 Athenian and Roman his-
tory. For three hours wills uofaltenng
force be has defied his adversaries, and de-
fended his resolves ; and amidst reverbe
rating volleys of cheers, routines his seat
himself the only unmoved human beiug io
that spell bound assembly.
Well, Fos can never answer that tin
-
play. Yon cry, " %'bat a pity that be
spent al1 his day sauntering about ! And
last night, too, bow he wasted fon the
orgies where Capt. llorrts sung his Bac-
chanalian strains." You think that Fox
must break down, and you feel for him as
with heavy lumbcrin;; air Lc advances
slowly to the table, anal fumbles awkwardly
with hie fingers. 'Fbere be stands, amidst
a deal of silence and expectation. Look
at his careless, half -buttoned vest, his
crumpled linen, his almost slovenly attire.
\'hat is he saying 1 We caosot bear him
distinctly. He seems quite coofosed, and
his sentences are all entangled. Ah, he
must fail as his lather before him did when
battling it out" with another Pit. His
•nice, too, how different in its course acid
husky sound from the sonorous organ of
bit gifted foe. Hi• gestures also how
common -place -his whole air how ungainly
as we contrast it with the stateliness of the
last speaker. But how very sell the house.
The Opposition do not seem dispirited, nor
does the 'Treasury bench look prematerely
elated. Both aides know, by experie•re,
the nature of the moo before them. His
voice is getting more clear --he has got
rid of that unseemly ob•Irutction to has ut-
terance. We find that be n saying, in
very plain and unaffected words, that the
sinister, though adroit and artful, is, af-
ter all, very superficial io his views. He
(Charles Foe) does not avian to deny tat
a ease of apparent strength and reason may
be nude by the minister. Well, he fan-
cies
ro-cies the we, and we are sure: iced to had

THE MAO.;KINGMERICA. BIRD OF
The American Mocking Bird is the
prince of all song birds, being elloge'her
unrivalled in tie extent and variety of his
vocal powers; and besides the fakes sad
Melody of his original notes, be his the
faculty of Imitating the notes of all otiose
birds, from the humming -bird to the aegis.
Pennant states that be heard a caged ate
imitate the mewing of • cat, and tha
creaking of a sign is high winds.. Bar-
nagton says, its pipes come nearest to flit
nightingale of any bird be ever heard.
The de.ertptioo, however, given by Wil-
ma in his own inimitable another, as fa;
excels Pennant and Baroingtoo as to bird
excels it fellow songsters. -Wilson tells so
that the ease, elegance sad rapidity of his
movements, (be animation of his eye, and
the intelligence Le displays is laying up his
lessons, mark Ilse peculiarity of his ge-
nius. Hu voice is full, strong and musi-
cal, and capable of almost every module-
tios, from the clear and mellow tones of
the wood thrush to the savage scream of
the bald eagle. In measure and accents
he faltbrully follows his originals, while is
strength and sweetness of expression he
greatly improves upoo them. In bis taa-
live woods, upon a dewy morning, his Isar
rises above every competitor, for lbs. others
appear merely as inferior aeeompsoi.eots.
His own notes are b�o d and full, asd 114. .
ried seemingly beyond all limits. They
consist of short expressions of one, liars.,
or at most five or six syllables, generally
uttered with great emphasis and rapidity,
and continued with undiminished ardor 1ihr
half an hour at a time. -While mingi g be
expands bis tail, glistening with white,
+-keeping time to his own music. rtad then
buoyant gaity of Lis action is no less facia -
mating than is song. Ile sweeps mead
with- enthusiastic ecstasy ; he rowels sad
descends, as his song swells sod dies away
be bounds aloft with the celerity of ea ar-
row, as if to recover or to recal his retry
soul, expired in the last elevated straits.
