the watch dog, who hearing the uproar,
had managed to break loose from his chain,
rushed upon the scene. and set up his pow
WOW.
The squire had mortal horror of dogs,
and neither fear nor love was strong enough
to keep him quiescent now. He sprang to
his feet with yell; Will followed. Kate
alarmed for her lover, hoped out of bed,
and appeared with flaming tallow dip.
Peggy flung hcrarms about the squire neck,
with a cry of horror, and Jake was silent
with amazemcnt. Mrs. Blake was the only
only one who possessed her wits. She seiz-
cd the corn pepper, and laid about her with
vigor.
Her aim was not always correct, and in
consequence, she smashed the looking glas.
into a thousand fragments, and, Knocked
down the clock from its shelf, and demolish
ed two bowls and pitcher that were quietly
reposing on the mantel.
The squire broke from Peggy's embrace
and dashed out of the window. Will fol
lowed and Mrs. Blake would have pursued
by the same outlet, but she was little too
large to get through with ease.
A dreaded council was holden; JAKE
stormcd; Mrs Blake threatened; and a
both Peggy and Katie confessed. And Jak
and his wife were SO rejoiced at the pros
pect of getting rid of Peggy, that they for
gave their daughter, and took Will Dart
mouth home at the end of the year.
! And in due time Peggy and the Squir
were made one flesh.

A Story Of August Belmont.

A New York Correspondent of the Gin.
cinnati Commercial tells the following good
story about Bugust Belmont
In this place, l am reminded, for some
thing better to say of Mr. Belmont of a
story relative of his banking house. He is
a very passionate man, and lets fly at odd
times much talk which good boys do not
use. So as he had a confidential secretary
to whom he used to dictate letters, he
blazed away at this poor secretary one morn
ing, and damned him to crisp. The clerk
was poor fellow, but a gentleman so he
quietly arose and took his pen from behind
his ear Mr.. Belmont" he said, Il dc
not know that can get another position
but will not keep this one. You shall moi
have it in your power to swear at me, sir.
"Who are you" said Mr.. Belmont, that
may not swear at you? But, come what
will you take to let me do so when please?'
The clerk sat down gravely an instant
and replied:
"You give me twenty-five hundred 9
year to do your work. can not do the
work and be sworn at, also, for less thar
four thousand dollars.
"You shall have it, damn you" said Bel
