There are few intelligent American families
in which Harpers Magazine would not be an
appreciated and highly welcome guest. There
is no monthly magazine an intelligent reading

There is not magazine that is printed which
shows more intelligent pains expended on its
articles and mechanical execution. There is
not cheaper magazine published. There is
not, confessedly, more popular magazine in
the world-Ne,o England Homestead.
A repository of biography and history, litera-

where since the hour of It's establishment. Liv-
ingstone and Gordon Cumming in Africa, Strain
among the Andes and Ross Browne in the East,
Spoke on the Nile and Macgregor on the Jor-

seen their most important discoveries reprodu-

pleasure and profit of those visits would have
been lost without him. At the Atheneum
he appeared to admirable advantage in his
comments and criticisms of its contents, his
great knowledge of book and art enabling
him to adorn his explanations with the APP
propriate illusions of the classic poets to the
deities and persons represented by the
statues to be found in the Athenaum; or
even in some cases to the statues them
selves, for some of them are the most ancient
works. There is something in the air of that
place which betokens culture of the highest
order. Many authors resort to this place to
read and consult authorities.
From Boston returned to Washington by
way of Albany in order to have a daylight
ride down the Hudson river. l shall never
forget the magnificent scenery bordering on
the banks of that beautiful river, which is
worthy much more extended notice than
my limits will admit. AS you descend, first
you see the gentle hills, then the Catskill
mountains rising in the distance, with belt
of green foliage in the foreground; further
along down are the highland which surround
West Point, and, lastly, are seen the remark
ably beautiful palisades. The air was so cool
as to bring overcoats into requisition.
The party with me, as well as myself, were
much amused and disguised in watching the
pompous pretensions Of some Of the cOlored
hirelings on the boat, which very aptly illus
trated that passage from Shakespeare

thority,
Most ignorant of what he's most assured /;

his lady friends, and he has this to say
about it: ff.
First called on my liquid-eyed bru-
nette friend, Miss Sallie Morris, Of Madi-
son avenue. Now, | have spent good
deal of money on Miss Sallie for operas,
bouquets, Delmonico lunches, etc. I've
been trying for two years to win her af-
fections.
Last night, full of love and hope, /
rang old Morris door-bell. In a moment
Miss Sallie was by my side on the retired
sofa. After speaking of the coming
opera, | felt her velvet hands touch
mine.
"Do you know, Mr.. Perkins" she said,
looking me straight in the face, that to-
day is our proposing dayY
"Well, | suppose so, remarked,
looking modestIy down at her mosaic
bracelet.
"Well, you know, Eli, my dear Eli,
that have been out with you good
deal
aYes," | replied, beginning to feel
embarrassed.
"You know, my dear" she said, TAX
ing both of my hands, that it is costing
me good deal for dresses and gloves,
and"
"And costing me a good deal for car
riages, banquets and Delmenico
lunches" with increased embarrassment.
And while l have enjoyed myself all
winter going with you Eli"

there with you, feel fcel-Oh, my
dear Eli, / don't know how to say what
| want to, aud then the beautiful child
hid her face on my bosom.
"Do not fear my answer, beautiful
one" I said, soothingly. What is it
that weighs upon your sorrowful hearth
"Oh Eli, it is love" she said, sobbing
wildly, and twisting her jeweled fingers
in my auburn hair.
Heaven be praisedP | sighed as l
felt the beating of her heart against my
vest. For whom is this love, my dar-
ling, for know | am deeply interested
"You will not be mad at me, Eli2"
"No, sweet one, / shall only be too
happy l said, wiping the tears from my
eyes.
"Well, my dear, my long cherished
friend, l love -
Whom, dear Sallie, whom do you
lover"
"Well, Eli, love Charlie Brown, to
whom l am engaged" aud then the
scalding tears fell thick and fast upon
my shirt bosom.
"Well, Sallie, what have you got to
say to me2" l asked hesitatingly, as l
loosened her hands from my neck.
"Why, my dear Eli, Charlie and
father thought that | had better see you,
