A REV WAY OF COLLECTING A
DEBT.

Some Time since. young man con-
tracted debt with livery keeper in
this city for horse and carriage hire
After waiting suitable time, he direct
ed his clerk to make out the bill and
collect it. After repeated calls at the
establishment kept by father and son. he
became persuaded that the only way the
debt could be collected was By recourse
to law, he accordingly reported the facts
to his employer, when he took the mat
10 hand and called upon the son. He
made good promises but failed to fulfill
them. and he finally became Disguised
at the frequent lies he had told him,
when he set about devising a way of col
lecting the debt without The aid of law.
One pleasant afternoon he directed the
stable man to hitch to the hearse
a span of white horses, and tLen
placing the demand in the hands Of one
of his drivers. directed him 10 drive to
-street and back in front of No.
-. He farther directed if any Of
the inmates of the house accosled him in
regard to being there, to present the
bill. Soon after arriving the lady ofthe
house came to the door, and, upon in
terrogating the driver, was handed the
demand. He, for a time, persisted in
remaining until it was paid, but the lady
begged so hard that he finally drove of
she pledging that the bill should be paid
before sundOWn. The lady was as good
as her word, for it was not many hour:
after the hearse left her house before
she paid the bill-Al5any Journal.

HOOPS as A LIFE PREsERVER II
OLD TIMES.

Our Boston correspondent, Piclor,
writes as follows:
Looking. this morning. into Mr.. Den
niSIon's memoirs of Sir Robert Strange
and of Andrew Lumisden," an exceed
ingly interesting book, by the way-I
found an anecIote of the uses OF the
hoop, which if not exactly new, is inter-
esting at this time, when men are get
ting up sort of a war whoop against
that feminine prison. Strange was cour-
ting Isabella Lumisden, in 1745, when
Charles Edward came 10 Scotland, and
took Edinburgh, where the young cou-
pie were living. The lady belonged to a
Jacobite family, and was, herself, most
Jealous supporter of the Stewart cause.
She compelled her lover to leave lis
peaceful profession of an engraver--in
which he was to achieve such distin-
guished rank-and 10 enter the rebel
army.
After Culloden, Strange, like many
other Scotch gentleman, was in hiding
One day some of the Duke of Cumber-
lands red coated hell dogs got sight Of
him and gave chase. Strange ran to a
house hard by. and dashed into a room
where lady, whose zeal had enlisted
him into the fatal cause, sat singing at
her needle work, and failing other means
of concealmeni, was indebted for safety
TO her prompt Intervention. As she
quickly raised her hooped gown. the af.
fanced lover disappeared beneath its
ample contour, where, thanks to her cool
demeanor and unfaltering notes, he lay
undetected, while the rude and baffled
soldiery vainly ransacked the house.
Let those who are condemning the
hoop. and ridiculiug it. show, if they can,
any other gown that could have been
used>to save life so promptly as Miss
Lumisden's hoop. Mr.. Denniston, in
note, says:
Such hoop as saved the rebel and
secured husband to ready witted song

Give, as the Fine Lady in Lethe." l

but other pictures Of the dress of that
period. which l have seen, give an idea
of the volumincus sufficiently of the
hoops then in use, that it would not sur.

Andrew Lumisden, the brother Of Lady
Strange, was for many gears connected
with the court Of the exiled Stuarts at
Rome, being private secretary Of the
old Pretender first, and then, though for
a b'ieier period, holding the same Office
under the young Pretender, who, how
ever, was forty FIVE years cid on the
death of his father. He was dismissed
from his thankless cffice in consequence
of his master getting drunk, the crown

sibility of Ler refusing me-never
dreamed but that she would stoop. with
grateful tears to pick up the handker-
chief whenever l chose to throw it al her
feet.
But now l know that had Mary met
me then. she would have despised me.
She was as far above me as the heavens
are above the earth. Perhaps in the
scented and affected student she might
have found plenty of sport; but as for
loving me; or feeling the slightest inter
est in me save a regret that should
make such an unlimited donkey of my
self--I know her better now.
India was nv salvation, not merely
because of the plentiful share of gold l

cOunteracted the evil of my nature. and
made me a better man. And when at

A ring of rough, virgin gold, with my

was all, and yet the toy thrilled me
strangely, as balanced it upon the tip

ALL DEPENDS ON THE RELIGION.

A short time since certain minister
IN a certain village not far from Buffalo,
Started in his buggy 10 fulfill an appoint
ment IN a town some twenty miles dis
tant. He had driven but a few miles,
however, when he discovered that his
horse was quite lame, and as the eve.
ming began to draw nigh, he deemed ii
best to stop for the night. In a short
time he espied farm house, in front of
which stood yeoman considerably ad
vanced in years. As he drew up, the
following conversation took place:
"Can you tell me, my friend, how
far it is to house of entertainment"
''Well if you mean tavern" said
the old man "it's close on twenty miles;
but if you mean house of entertain
ment, we have one ourselves
"Ah very god Ny horse is quite
lame. as you see, and l am somewhat
fatigued myself. Can you accommodate
US for the night. my friend?"
"Well, yes yes; we can accommodate
you, but if you're clergyman. as you
seem to be, l must tell you that the fair
you Il get depends on your religion
"How so my friend?"
"Why you see." replied the farmer,
eff minister is good Presbyterian,
we give him the best the house affords;
if he's a Baptist or Methodist, he gets
tolerable living; if hes SO unfortunate to
be an Episcopalian, he can't expect
much! We don't think much of them
out this way"
swell my friend, l am very sorry to
learn that your prejudices are so deeply
imbedded," remarked the other with
bland smile. "Unfortunately. in this in
stance, am an Episcopalian clergyman,
and 1 suppose 1 must content myself
with scanty meal; but (more careful of
his horses comfort than his own) let me |
assure you of one thing. that my horse
is the blues: Presbyterian you ever saw!"
The old farmer was not SO obtuse that
he did not discover and appreciate the
minister's joke-a joke that procured
both for man and beast the best the far
mer's larler and barn afforded.

How AMERICA WAS PEoPLED.-Rey.
DR.. Hawks, a learned and eloquent
scholar, has recently been delivering a
series of lectures, intending to show that
this continent was peopled by successive
migrations from the old world, at diffent
ages. First from the shores of the Med
iteranean. which was the earliest seat of
commercial enterprise. and the people
from which, have left their record upon
the vast ruins of Yucatan; next from Chi
aand Japan 10 Mexico, Central and Sou;h
America, and next from Northern Asia,
from which the American tribe of Indi-
ans came. These theories are sustained
BY remarkable analogies between the
languages prevailing in different parts of
the Eastern continent with those to be
found on this continent.

CHAPTER Ii.

A tall, bearded, sun bronzed man,
knocked at the door Of my fathers house.
The lights in the parlor windows. and
the hum of conversation and cheerful
laughter. showed me that company were
assembled there. 1 hoped my sister
Lizzie would come TO the door, and that
| might greet my family when no strsn-
gers eyes were looking curiously on.
But no--a servant answered my sum
mons. They were too merry in the par
lor TO heed The long absent one when he
asked for admilance. Some such bitter
thought was passing through my mind,
as heard the sounds from the parlor
and saw the suppressed smile upon
the servants face.
hesitaled a moment before I made
myself known, or asked after the family.
And while l stood silent, strange ap-
partition grew up before me. From be-
hind the servant peered small golden
head-a tiny, delicate form followed,
and sweet childish face aud blue eyes
were lifted up to mine; so like-so like
10 one that had brightened~my boyhood,
that started back with a sudden feeling
of pain.
"What may your name be, little one?'
| asked, while the wondering servant
held the door.
She lifted up her hands as if to shade
her eyes, 4 had seen that very attitude
in another, in my boyhood, many and
many time) and answered in a sweet,
bird-like voice.
"May Mocre."
"And what else?" 1 asked quickly.
"Mary Moore Chester" lisped the
child.
My heart sunk down like lead. Here
was an end to all the bright dreams
and hopes of ray youth and manhood!
Frank Chester. my boyish rival, who
had often tried in vain, to usurp my
place beside the girl, had succeeded at
last, and had won the woman away from
me. This was his chiId-his child and
Mary's. And l must go in there and
meet her once again, and then go away
forever, and die, if God would let me?
l sank, body, soul. beneath this blow.
And hiding my face in my hands 1 lean
ed against the door, while my heart
wept tears of blood. The little one
gazed at me grieved ard amazed, and
put up her pretty lip asif about to cry.
while the perplexed servant stepped to
the parlor door, and called my sister out,
to find out who it could be that conduc-
ted SO strangely.
l heard light step. and a pleasant
voice, saying
"Do you wish to see my father, sir?"
l looked up. There stood a pretty, |
sweet faced maiden of twenty. Not
much changed from the dear little sister
had loved so well. l looked at her a
and then stilling the tumult
IF my heart by mighty effort, open
I'd nv arms and said:
Lizzie, don't you know me?"
"Harryl Oh, my brother Harryl"
