Revival OF Trade.

A New York dispatch to the Mime
apolis Tribune, of the e2d, says business
was never so brisk among wholesale mer-
chants as now. Workmen are employed
nights by calcium lights shipping goods.
Southern merchants say the outlook is
very good, as the people have not eaten
their resources in advance, as heretofore.
The wants OF the South are very large
and the people in better position to pay
than they have been in years. The agents
of railroad, steamer and express lines say
that businooo is bettor than at any time
since the panic. Business over tine trunk
lines west is 20 per cent. better than last
year, and the demand for transportation
especially in railroad iron, is greater than
can be supplied. 1t is we'll. We are
glad to hear this kind Of news.

was on ship once going to Rio, when
they dragged out a stowaway and put
him to work. One day he came to me,
and being man of fine address and edu-
cation, had no difficulty in convincing
me that he was escaping from German
literary institution, where he had wit
messed, as second, fatal duel. He said
he had money, and showed me several
hundred pounds in notes of the Bank of
England. He was willing to be consid-
cred stowaway, in order that his name
should not appear on the cabin list
Could help him to get out of the ship
at Rio? l readily promised and gave
him for 1850 in Bank of England notes
Mexican dollars and doubloons. lie got
out of the ship all right at Rio, and /
carried my notes back to England, where
l found on attempting to deposit them
in bank, that they were base counter
feits, and that my intellectual stowaway
was an escar3d burglar and forger, and
that / had become his victim"

In THE SHAWANGUMS.

Mr. Slingerland Valentine sat in his
capaclous armchair, his hands resting on
its broAd arms, his forehead puckered up
into nest of wrinkles, his eyes staring
with intense, puzzled thoughtfulness out
the beauties of the park beyond.
Il wonder what ever possessed me-"
he thought, 81 do wonder what ever
possessed me? Here am, 81 years old,
and fool enough to imagine l couldn't
get along the rest of my life as well as
heretofore, and must go and actually ask
pretty little Fife Herman to marry me
marry me!'
As if the idea were appalling, Mr.
Valentine arose from his chair, and be-
gan restless, desperate sort of prone
made around his room.
"Not that she isn't the sweetest little
creature that ever lifted q pair of blue
eyes to y mans face-a dainty, flower
like gin, whom anybody would love;
but think-why, what confounded
fool I've been, and l old enough to be
her grandfstherW
A stern, half-indignsnt look came to
his eyes, and he paused moment as if
10 more fully appreciate the folly of his
position.
-"Of course it's impossible the child
cares for me; of course it's my money
that mas won her, and the consent of her
mother. WE'LL" and the hale, robust
old gentleman drew long, deep sigh,
and plunged resignedly into the depths
of his Turkish chair again. "Well,
there's no getting out of it now. Pm
not the first man that has made fool
of himself over pretty face, but at 81,
Slingerland Valentine, you certainly
were supposed to know betterW
And then he solaced himself with
mans infallible comfort, choice cigar,
while, in another room in pretty little
cottage not far away, Etfie Herman was
sitting in the vine-wresthed bay-window,
making an exquisite picture of herself
among the swaying foliage, and looking
very bewitchingly frowning, As she
flashed glance from her blue eyes across
the room at her mother sitting stately
and elegant in her gothic back chair.
g never hoped to hear such nonsense
from child of mine, Eftie. The idea
of not wanting to marry Mr.. Valentine !
Why, he can give you everything in the
world you can think of. To be his wife
means q bridal tour to Europe; to be
mistress Of his magnificent mansion on
Fifth avenue; to dispense hospitality at
his Long Branch Wills; to have command
of all that is luxurious, elegant, i'll every
sense. And you don't want to marry
him ~
Ellie pouted her red lips.
No, DON'T Mamma, your side of
the picture is very tempting, but my
side all the time keeps showing me fat,
bald headed, stumpy old man, who wears
false teeth, and pads his coat, and tries
TO look and act as if he were twenty
years younger than he ia Mamma, I
don't want to marry him at ALL"
