B ROw N e D T0MAToEs.-Take large
round tomatoes and halve them; place
them, the thin skin down, in frying pan
in which small quantity Of butter has
been previously melted; sprinkle them
with salt and pepper and dredge them well
with flour; place the pan on hot part Of
the fire and let them brown thoroughly;
then stir them and let them brown again,
and SO on until they are quite done. They
lose their acidity, and the flavor is superior
to steWed tomatoes.

A BRIGHT Boys. HAPPY THOUG HT.-
That was pretty bright thought of one
of the Pattersons, who, when employed
some years since as lad in an Office in
New York. was sent to present bill to a
shaky concern, with orders to collect it at
all hazards. After much urging the head
of the debtor house gave him check for
800, the amount of the bill. HurryinQ to
the bank at which it was payable, the lad
presented check, only to be told, mot
enough funds to meet it, elbow much
is account short?" was the boys quick re-
tort. "Seven dollars" said the teller. It
lacked but minute or two of O'Clock,
and the teller was about to close the door
on the boy, when the latter suddenly
pulled So from his own pocket, and push
ing it over with a deposit check said,
'sput that to the credit of - & Co."
the parties who had given the check. The
teller did so. when the lad at once presen-
ted the check for 800, and drawing the
full amount thereof went back to his en-
ployers in triumph. But, as he puts it,
g & Co., who failed the very next
day, were hopping mad when they found
they had no funds in their bank. ''-Sprinq

A TEN DOLLAR BILL.

Miss Julia Tyrrell sat before the fire
with her feet on the fender, and a ten-dol-
lar bill in her hand. To an ordinary mortal
a ten dollar bill is ten dollar bill-that,
and nothing more; but to Julia it meant
an evening of enchantment.
II shall buy white gloves, white satin
ribbon, and FAM" she whispered softly.
''and Charley will be sure to bring a bou-
quet. My dress isn't very shabby, and if
ltwas, he would never notice. 1 ought to
have an opera cloak and lots of things,
and ought-yes, l ought to pay Madame
my week g rent. But nobody does every
thing he ought to, and it is not my fault if
I have fifty-dollar way for every ten-dol-
lar bill.''
Then she looked thoughtfully at the
bill, and turned it over in her pretty white
hands. AS she did so, she noticed name
written in small clear letters in one cor
ner. The characters were so small that
she had to take the note to the window in
order to decipher them. But very little
puzzled those bright young eyes. II see, y
she said, nodding her head wisely. "'John
Henry Brookes.' Il wonder who he is, and
what made him write his name on bill
that is everybody just at present,
and going to the store keeper in half an
hour. Not a pretty name either. I dare
say he is some little snob that thinks there
is only one man in the world, and he is
John Henry Brookes.'' e
A man would not know how to spend
twenty minutes buying pair of gloves
and three yards Of satin ribbon. Julia
spent two very pleasant hours about it.
and, not being able to come to a decision
about the fan, she determined to walk up
to Union Square, and have half dozen
stores to select from. It was quite fair
and bright by this time, the sky blue. the
air soft, and not very cold; SO with light
rapid step she hurried along, pausing every
few minutes before some gay window, and
considering it's contents as carefully as it
she really meant to buy them.
just turning into the square, some one
said, "Julia! don't cut me in that direct
way.'
"Why, Charley, who ever thought Of
seeing you here at this time of day? ]
have been buying gloves. Have you got
the tickets ?"
81 was just going up town to see you
Something has happened"
'Oh, Charley! What? Is it nice?"
II don't say it's bad exactly. I'l tell
you what: we'll 60 and take lunch.
and you shall tell me all about it. II
you had met me five minutes earlier you
would have seen the cause of my holiday
He's regular swell, tell you-an En-
glish gentleman"
''What is his name-or title?"
HE has no title; he's only Mr.. Brookes
at present, but he'll be baronet some
day; and he brought the Chief letters from

Why can not rejoice that in thy heart
Sweet love will bloom again when am sleeping?
Nay make no promise. would place no ban
Upon thy future, even woulds't thou let me;
Thou hast most truly loved me, like man,
And, like man, thou wilt forget me.
Why should care, so near the infinite
Why should care that thou wilt cease to miss
me?
Ah God, these earthly ties are knit so tight!
Quick, quick, lean lower, o, my love, and kiss me.
