How the Match was Broken.

THERE was not sound in the cot
i tage that drowsy midsummer after
noon; although the walls were thin,
not even the squeak of mouse could
be heard. Open doors and windows,
however, told of occupants, camp-stools
were on the piazzas, newspapers and re-
views were scattered about as If hastily
Abandoned.
A light football broke the stiffness a
lady appeared, who with graceful, easy
motion passed and seated himself on a
shady balcony overlooking the sea. The
little waves rippled softly up, and broke
away again on the beach, white sails
shone in the distance, and fieecy clouds
fioated overhead in the exquisite blue of
the sky. The spectator noted all this,
and drank in the wonderful beauty of
the day. Although interested in her
book, she could not forbear constant
glances at the scene about her.
AS her eyes rested on a jutting rock
she saw some one taking observations.
He put up an eye-glass TO assure him.
self that it was indeed she; then clam
bered over the intervening obstacles
and hastened toward her.
She looked at first annoyed, and as if
meditating an escape; then relinquished
the idea, and composed herself with a
polite smile to greet the intruder. He
also smiled as he lifted his hat, and dis
played very handsome teeth, quite at
variance with his evidently advanced
years. His features were regular, his
gray hair was cut as short as possible
and he had decidedly distinguished
air.
He seated himself with deferential
expression beside her:
aHow fortunate am Really, had
no idea, when strayed out this after
noon, that anything SO pleasant was tc
befall me-"

Select Poetry.
LIKE HIS DAD.

hear his mothers chiding voice:
How came your trousers torn
And black as ink, sir, is that shirt
You put on clean this morn.
"Your feet are wet, too, declare;
You're muddy to your knees;
1t is too bad you only care
Your mother, sir, to tease.
"And those nice shoes-your Sunday best,
That but three times you've worn,
Are scratched and scraped and all run down.
The heel of one is gone.
I" Your hair is twisted in snarl,
And just look at that hand
1t looks as though 'twere never washed
How dare you say tits tanned?
"You've been a-fshing, sir, guess
What been to see the match ?
You'll have a fit of sickness, sir;
A pretty cold you'll CATCH"
Aud thus she talks for half an hour,
And only stops to say,
"Your father'll hear of this tonight;
l wonder what he'll say?"
My friends in complimentary way
Declare to me they see
A close resemblance-very marked
Between the boy and me.
But nothing that they see in him
In either form or face
Bespeaks my son as do his pranks-
In these my own trace.
And why should l at tattered clothes
Or dirty ones repine
In him I'll live my life again -
God bless the boy he's mine!

uow Joseph warden Got Hurt.

Yesterday while Joseph Warden Colorcd,
was rolling up Ninth street, under the inlu-
euce of too much bcuzino, he rolled into the
grocery corner Ninth and New York avenue,
and made himself disgustugly familiar, where
upon one of the clerks politely elected him.
He twice again entered the store and was
twice again elected, The last time he at
tempted to assert his right to perch upon Il
sugar barrel by seizing the proprietor, Mr.
Phillips about the throat, but that gentleman
finally settled the question by using u con
vncer over the belligerents head in the shape
of a bludgeOn.
About half.past three o'clock Officer Young,
of the Sixth Precinct, while passing through
Mount Vernon Square, found Warden lying in
the vicinity of the fountain, bleeding from a
slight nesh.wound in the head, aud took him
to the station-house When he had recovered
he could remember nothing about his little ad'
venture, thinking that he had fallen and cut
his head upon the ground, When told the
story by Lieutenant Greer he said he sup
poscd he deserved the ill-treatment received
at tho hands of Mr.. Phillips, and went oil per
fcctly satisfied to let tho matter rest.
