Ruse of a Fashionable Young Lady.

A Western young lady writes homo to
Detroit paper gossipping account of her first
visit to Albany, New York, in the course of
which she relates the following amusing story:
a. eng the scenes visited she had been pres
ent at private social dance near Albany, at
which Miss v, a talented, elegant girl
Of twenty was also guest. This young lady
had been noted for " leading the fashion" in
that neighborhood, and having come home in
the lsst foreign steamer, her appearance was
anxiously looked for-for it was calculated
upon all hands that her wardrobe would dis
play Partisan styles ga little later than the la
test" About 10 o'clock the lady in question
entered the drawing room, and as matter of
course all eyes were turned upon her. She
was attired in a heavy 'Pompadour,' fashion
of Louis XIV time, amply skirted, falling in
long futed folds, and describing a circumfer-
ence of some three yards around her pretty
feet. TIE dress was low-to admiration had
hanging sleeves open and slashed, with rich
lace uudersteeyes and chemse, a diamond
stomacher, ear rings and necklace, and
profuse diamond hair ornaments. She
fiirted demurely with an immense painted fan.
and occasionally dropped, for the amusement
of DANGERS, lace mouchoir. The dress .
perfect, admirable, captivating, even t. the
embroidered silk stockings and the diamond
buckled, red heeled shoes. Curiosity was on
tiptoe-the forms Of polite society were almost
broken through in order to scrut nize, to Q :
anime and inspect the detail which c. instituted
such magnificent tout ensemble. The night
wore on-stll no word or look from the pret.v
fashion leader gave token that she was aware
of the interest she excited. The pretty little
diamond buckled, red heeled shoes tripped
merrily through waltz and schottisch, Quad
Tille and cotillion, but no sign of WEAKNESS
no sign Of consciousness was manifest. The
men were growing crazy with admiration
the women with envy, when all at once. in
whirl of the waltz diamond buckle few off.
and the little shoe spun, glittering to distant
corner. dozen emulous youths sprang for

and gazed abstractedly into its interior, where

The Marriage Fee.

The late DR.. Boynton was once disputing farmer
about the ease with which minister earned money
Now said the farmer, when you are called on
to marry couple, you never expect less sum than
three dollars, and you sometimes get ten dollars
this for few minutes service
PoohF replied the doctor, Il would agree to give
you half of my next marriage fee for a bushel Of
potatoes!
Very well,' said the farmer, sI1l take your offer:
and send you the potatoes
few days afterwards, the doctor was called on
to splice loving couple at Dogtown, place about
four miles from where he lived. When the ceremo-
ny was over, the bridegroom said to the worthy
minister,
Well parson, suppose must fork over some
thing for your trouble. What say you to one of my
terrier pups? The best breed, 1 tell you in the
country. Shocking nice to have in a barn. Worth
i've dollars-and suppose figure would do for
the splice, chi
The doctor took the pup with joy. The joke was
