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 gobbled her up

Solano, and hadn't anything about me

me. Ye rethember them slugs ?" (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. •

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,

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. Pat with-
out any more ado emptied the hod right
over the whistler's head. 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

—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. Tastes make
little difference in destiny after the wed-
ding -ring is on.
