A JOURNEY FOR A WIFE.
4 sronY ron TRAVELLERS.

One fair morning in June, Albert
Fairchild selected from his wardrobe
bis most beautiful suit. and from his
bureau goodly supply Of linen, and
with a countenance glowing with joy
ful expectation, commenced packing q
capacious sahse, aud making prepara-
tions for journey.
Mr. Albert Fairchild was going to
visit young lady, Of whom ii is nee
cessary 10 say few words, before pro-
ceeding with our story.
Josephine Marvin resided with her
parents in a village which we shall call
Pekin, in order not to offend the mod
esty of its inhabitants, by using thereal
name Of the locality; and out of the
village She had never journeyed far, ex-
cept on two or three occasions. She
had made three visits TO relatives in
town, with whom she had spent months
al time Here Mr. Albert Fairchild
saw her, admired her, and ended by
loving her deyotedly. Satisfied with
her bcanty and excellence, Albert Fair.
child offered her his baud, but she said
"You must come and see me an my
home. aud become acquainted with my
parents, before exacting an engagement
from me; for il may he you will not like
them. and il is possible that they may
not fancy you; III either case ] shall
hesitate 10 accept your gracious offer.
Miss Marvin had now returned to
Pelan, aud now, as already stated, Al
bert was intending 10 visit her family.
Confident that Josephine was inclined
to favor his suit, and blessed with a
toleraDle good opinion Of himself, which
told him the Maryins would not probs-
bly, ohjec; 10 either his station in life or
bis personal appearance, Albert set ont
on his journey in excellent spirits.
The first forty miles Of bis journey
Albert accomplished by railway steam,
in the space Of two hours AT small
toxin il tha country, he found himself
compelled 10 wait for coach to convey
him 10 the village 81 Pelsin.
Impatiant TO proceed. Albert became
in humored, AMI grumbled at the IN
necessary delay To While away the
time, be drank . cup Of coffee, ate a
penny's worth 81 peanuts, read few
paragraphs il a newspaper, and walked

"Ahl 9hl II isn't a very bad joke

peculiarly happy laugh. Come ! GOMEZ

In his gratitudefor The kindness With
which the old gentleman paid bis i'll

tears glistening in his eyes Josephine
entered presently, followed by her
mother, and in half an hour Mr.. Mar
vim was showing Albert about his farm
and all were as happy as II no unpleas-
ant occurrence had ever troubled their
minds.
In week Albert returned to town a
happier, wiser, better man, He had
gained the consent Of Josephine's par
ents to'his marriage with the girl Of his
choice, and the wedding day was ap-
pointed. For this and other good rea-
SONS Alberts heart was overfowing with
joy.
In conclusion we may remark that
on his journey home Albert attracted
general attention, and won the good
will and esteem Of everybody by the
respect and ciyility Of his department
towards his fellow-trayellers.

guson was particularly severe on the
unfortunate jurymen. So many men
had been excused on trivial pleas, that
the course Of the law was seriously in
terfered with. The court does not
usually get angry, but this time down
came the foot, and a declaration was
made that no iuryman would get of
unless there was the best reason. Mike
Hogarty, great, big, go2d-natured son
Of the Emerald Isle, was on his pins. -
Boys" he said, SIS it the drinks yer

"How, Mike2"
"Arranl lave that TO q wild Irish

Eyes, Mike,--but fair and square.
Trust me for that, boys"
Shortly after, Mike made his appear
ance before the court. His face was
drawn down until it looked awfnlly
solemn. His eyes, too, looked as il
there had been "drap o water was
ted" In fact, Mike looked just as
though there had been the devil to pay,
and he was the sufferer. His voice
quivered as he addressed the court
Sure an yer honor, was II after ex-

"Why, Mr. Hogarty, on what grounds

"To be sure, said tho eourt, "AIr. r.,

in an earnest and sympathising tone;
'to be sure. sir. you are excused Mr.
Clerk, excuse Mr Hogarty from serv-

~Shure, on it's may God bless yer
honor for this, and Mike left the court
room to Join his comrades, who were
waiting outside.

mcCULLOCH TIGHTENs THE SCREW

On the 18th inst, Secretary MeCulloeh
announced to the fortunate holders of
seyen>thirties that this department pro-
poses to give fve,twenty bonds of 1867
in exchange for seven-thirties
The English of this is this The in
terest on the seven thirties is payable in
greenbacks so is the principal at ma
turity The "fve-twenties Of 1867" is a
new issue, and both the interest and
principal are payable in gold. Me-
Culloch is vigorously reducing the cur
rencY debt, and increasing the gold debt
This is his plan to destroy the country by
enriching the few at the expense of the
MANY
The very next day, after the above an
nouncement, yesterday, the telegraph
bore the glad tidings that the interest on
the fye-twenties, payable in gold, would
fall due on the first day of November
the amount ninety millions
Not one dollar of this ninety millions
of gold is to be paid out south of the
Ohio river In all the country west of
Pittsburg and Washington, not one-twoN
hundred -and-tenth part is to be paid
In the great cities of Cincinnati, St Louis
and Chicago, there is considerably less
than half million of the amount to be
paid. Doubtless the members of the
"ring in the West will take their share
of the peoples blood money in New
York Really none oft will find its way
to the pockets of the masses.
How long is it expected that the peo-
pie will tolerate this system?
