I She settled herself i her chair again aid fixed her, eyes npo the stage. • The Man from So ano thanked the Man of New York, and then, after shaking hands with verybody in 'the bOx, turned to go. Wien he had reach- ed the door he looked back to Miss X. -and said: .. "It was one of the q leerest things in the world, Miss, that my findin' them c eeks--" • But the curtain had ust then risen on th garden scene in " laud," and Miss Xs was absorbed. Th Man from Solari° catefully shut the box s oor and retired. I followed him. He was silent until lobby, and then he sari- , a .previous conversati :mighty peart gal—that IS he reached the , as if renewing • "she is a s so. She's just 1.1 my kil)d, and will make a stavin' good wife." I thought saw danger *head for the Man from SoIano, so I histened to tell him that shei was beset by attentions, that she could have her pick and choice. of the ' best Of society, and finally, that she was, rifest probablY, engaged to Dashboard. II, "That's -so, '• he said, quietly, without the slightest' trace of feeling, "it would be mighty queer if she wasn't. But I reckon I'll steer down to the ho -tel. I don't care mach for this yellint" (He was alluding to a cadenza.of that famous cantatrice, Signora Battt Ratti.) "What's the_time ?" He pulled ut his watch. It was such a glaring shaIri. , so obviously bogies, that my eye a werd fascinated by it. ' • "You're ltoking . at .that watch," he said; "it's Purty to look at, but she don't. go wotth a cent. And yet her price was $125, gold.

(I did ; the "sleg" was "token" issued in the early clays—a hexagonal piece of gold a little over twice the size of a 20 - dollar gold piece—worthl and accepted for $50.) "Well, I handed them that and they handed me the ,watch. You see them slugs I had made 'myself outfit' brass filings and iron pyrites, and, used to slap 'em dewn on the boys for a bluff in a game of draWmoker. You see, not be- ing reglar •Govtnent money, wasn't counterfeiting. I reckon they cost. me, counting time and anxiety, about $15. So, if this yer watch, is worth that, it's about a square game. Ain't it ?" I began to nnderstand the Man from Sohn°, and. Said it was. He returned his watch to his pocket, toyed playfully with the chain, and remarked: "Kind- er makes a man look fash'nble • and wealthy, don't it !" I agreed with him. "But what do you intend to do here?" I asked. "Well, I've got a cash capital of nigh on $700, I giiess until I get into reg'lar business skirtnish round Wall street, and sorter lay low." I was about to give him a few words of warning, but remembered • his watch, and desieted. We shook bands and parted. I•I A few days after I met him on Broad- way. He was attired in another new suit, but 1 think I saw a slight improve- ment in his general appearance. Only five distinct colors were visible in his at- tire. But this, I had reason to believe afterwards, was accidental. I asked- hini if he had been to the ball. He said he had. "That gal—and a mighty peart gat she was too—was there, but she sorter fought shy. of me. I got this new suit to go in, but those waiter's sorter run me into a private box, and I didn't get much chance to con- tinniew our talk about' them checks. But that young feller, Dashboard, wee mighty perlite. He brought lots ef fel- lers and young 'women round to the box to see me, and he made up a party that night to take me round Wall street and in them -Stock Board, And the; next day he called for meMt took me. I And I invested about $500 in them stocks— may be more. You see, we sorter swop- ped stocks. You know I had ten shares in the Peacock Copper mine, that you was once secretary of." • "But those shares are not, worth a cent. • The whole thing exp oiled ten years ago." • I "That's so, maybe—you saeaso. • But then I didn't know anything more about Communipaw Central, or the Naphtha Gaslightro., and so I thought it was a square game. Only I realized on •the stocks I bought, and I kem up outer Wall street about $400 better. You see it was a sorter risk, after all, for them Peacock stocks might come up!" • I looked. into his faoe ; it was immeas- urably serene .and commonplace. • I be- gan to be a little afraid of the man; or rather of my want of judgment of the man, and, after a few words, we shook hands and parted. • I = r I It was some months before 1 agarn saw the Man from Solent). When I did. I found that he had actually become a member of the Stock Board, and had a little office on Broad street; where he transacted a fair busieess. My remem- brance going back to the first night I met him, I inquired if he had renew- ed his acquaintance with Miss X, heered that she was in Newport this summer, and I ran down there fur a week." ' "And you talked with her about the baggage checks ?" "No," he said, seriously ; "she gave me a e0MmissiOn to buy some stocks for her. You see, I guess them fashnible fellers sorter got to runnin' her about me, and so she put our acquaintance on a Eiquare business footing. I tell you she's a • right • peart girl. Did • ye hear of the accident that happened to her ?"" I had. not. "Well, you see, she was out yachting, and I managed through one of those fel- lers to get an invite, too. The whole thing was got up by a man that they say is going to marry her. Well, one after- noon the boonitsvvings round in a little squall and knocks, her overboard. —There was an awful excitement—you've heard' about it, may bet" No! But I saw it all with a romanc- er's instinct in a 'flash of poetry! This poor fellow, debarred through uncouth- ness from expressing his affection for her, had at last found his fittiug oppor- tunity. He had— "Phar was an awful row," he went on, "I ran out on the taffrail, and there a dozen yards away was that putty crea- ture, that peart gal and—I— " "You jumped for her," I said, hastily. "No I" he said gravely. "I let the other man do the jumping. I sorter looked. on." I stared at him in astonishment. "No," he went on, seriously. "He was the man who. jumped—that was, just then his 'put'—.his line of business. You see, if I had waltzed over the side of that ship, and cavoorted: in, and fium- muxed round and finally flopped to the bottom' that other man would have jumpednateral-like and saved her, and ez he was going to marry her any way, I don't exactly see where I'd hev been 4 THE HURON EXPOSITOR. 4••=p••••- r'•••4=4.!'"-• • MARcir 23, 1877. renesented in the transaotio .

Not many years ago, when a lofty building was on the point of completion, the mason who was finishing the highest portion was, in the habit of whistling to the laborer who was attending—him whenever he wanted a fresh supply: of lime, and, as the scaffold on which he wrought was rather small,' this occurred very often during a day's •Work. A joiner who was fitting in a window im- mediately underneath, noticing Pat an- swer dutifully to every whistle from the mason, thought of playing a trick on him by imitating the whistle, and thus brought him up with a hodful of lime when there was no room for it. The mason told Pat that he had not whistled, so he had no 'other alternative than to trudge back with his load. This having occurred for the third time during one day, Pat thought he would -watch to *hear where the whistle came from. He had not waited lone°With thp hod on his shoulder whett he heard. the identical whistle directly underneath where , he stood, and, leaning over, he saw the head of the joiner protruding out of the window immediately below.

The "joiner yelled and spluttered while attempting to clear himself' from the adhesive mass; and in the midst of his confusion heard Pat above houting at the top of his voice, "whistle when you want more mortar !" •I —Marriage -is decidedly the most im- portant part 'of the . ordinary woman's destiny. She can do very well without marrying, if sh' only thinks so; but if she marries, hr whole future depends on her choice f a husband; for "to marry" means o most to follow the for- tunes of the men chosen, abide by the laws he lays down for his household, dwell where he decides, and take from his hands as much or as little as he is able or willing to bestow.
