CHAPTER II.


Six months passed rapidly, and how
pleasantly a vivid recollection of them
testifes AS the village schools taught
but little, ana was fully competent to
instruct the children myself, 1 spent
three hours a day in study with them.
! Two afternoons in the we.G / devoted TO
Mays music and Ellen's drawing; on
the other afternoons they were free to
practice at home, or to visit their Will
age friends, and receive visits in return.
Our evenings were spent in reading, and
in the three months of that summer they
gained more intelligence than in years
before. Their interest in knowledge
was aroused and whatever they read
made a subject Of free and cheerful con
.versation, thus fixing important facts in
their memories and training their minds
to habits of active thought,
Ellen adorned the walls Of our sit
ting room and little library with several
very fine crayon pictures and May ad-
ded to our evening reading the charm Of
her sweet singing.
AT Christmas time we expected Cap
tain Fleming. With what a glad pride
L looked upon my happy group, and
thought of the gratitude he would feel
when he saw their improvement and
witnessed their affection for myself
l looked forward with a beating heart to
the meeting.
1t was a fortnight before Christmas,
and we we're already deeply engaged in
for the merry season
Green boughs, with which TO decorate
The rooms, were being made into fes-
-oons and garlands, and, in a sly corner
The Christmas tree was waiting its hour
Of triumph Ellen was hurrying to fin
sh a picture Of Santa Claus to hang
over the Christmas tree; and May was
oracticing incessantly-'Let us love
,ne another" at the piano-forte; while
title Harry entered with even greater
zeal, if possible, into the preparations
or the festivities.
1t was afternoon, and Ellen and I had
,een discussing tho propriety Of invi-
ing some friends to enjoy our Christmas

A funny story is told Of a man who
stole a fve-dollar bill out in Indiana.
His counsel tried to prove that the note
was not worth five dollars it being at a
discount, in order to lessen the crime.
The prosecutor said he knew the pris-
oner was the meanest man in the State.
but he did not think he was so alfred
mean as not to be willing to steal Indiana
money at par.

Death Of Andersen the Traveller.
The Faderlandet Of Stockholm, of
March I'd, says;
eve have just received the news Of
the death of the celebrated Swedish
traveller, Mr. Andersen. He some
time ago set out on his third journey to
the interior of Africa to make zoologi-
cal researches, and after having ezplOr-
ed the banks Of the Tioghe and of Lake
Ngami, he undertook, in company with
an Englishman, Mr.. Green, an excur
sion in an easterly direction, and sue
cceded in reaching countryin which
no other European ever penetrated
There he met young elephant, and
went in pursuit of it; just as he was
on the point of overtaking it, a very
large elephant joined it; two natives
fired on the latter and wounded it. on
which the animal attacked Mr.. Ander
sen snd killed him by trampling him
under foot. Mr. Andersen was buried
on the spot on which he was killed.
His numerous and valuable collections,
have been deposited at the consulate
Of Sweden and Norway, at the Cape of
Good Hope"
Mr.. Andersen was the author of the
captivating book of travels, which was
introduced with such hattering com
ments by Col. Fremont, in letter to the
publisher in this city few months
since.--N T. Post.

Catching a Husband.

There are various modes of perform
ing this feat, but one of the most ingeni-
ous we have ever heard Of, is related in
the following anecdote:
A gentleman of the bar in a neighbor-
ing county, in easy circumstances and
pretty good practice, had rendered him
self somewhat remarkable by his at
tempts in the way of matrimonial spec
ulation. A maiden rather advanced in
wears. residing some miles distant in the
1eighborhood, hearing of this lawyers s
specializing propensity, that his charac-
ter was unexceptionable, and his situa-
ton in life tolerably good, resolved to
make him her husband. She hit upon
the following expedient: She pretended
suddenly to be taken very i'll, and sent
for the man of the law to prepare her
will. He attended for that purpose
Bv her will, she devised 10000 in
bank stock to be divided among her three
cousins, some thousands in bonds and
notes to a niece, and vast land estate
to a favorite nephew, The will being
finished, she gave her lawyer a very lib
eral fee, and enjoined secrecy upon him
for some pretended purpose, thus pre-
cluding him from an inquiry into her
real circumstances. Need I mention
the result? In a fortnight the lady
thought proper to. be again restored to
health. The lawyer called to congratu-
late her on her restoration-begged per
mission to visit her, which was politely
given. After a short courtship, the de-
sired offer was made. The bargain was
concluded and ratified by the priest
The lawyers whole estate by his wife
consists Of an annuity Of siEty-hve dol
lars.

THE LAW OF THE -RING.-Tf
a gentleman wants a wife, he wears a ring
on the first finger of the left hand; if he
is engaged, he wears it on the second
finger; if married, on the third; and on
the fourth if he never intends to get
married. When a lady is not engaged,
she wears a ring Of at al) on her first
finger; if engaged, on the second; ifmar-
ried, on the third and on the fourth if
she intends to be maid. When
gentleman presents a fan, flower, or
trinket to a lady with the left hand this,
on his part, is an overture Of regard;
should she receive it with the left hand,
it is considered as an acceptance of his
esteem; but if with the right hand, it is
a refusal Of the offer. Thus by few
simple tokens explained by rule, the pas
sion Of love is expressed.
