Simple minded, innocent Johanna,
she, and even her parents, had &C
copied presents from Poddlesby, and
she did not like to seem ungratefnl-
What harm could there be, she often
asked herself, in acting as guide for
the poor little Englishmen in his
rambles over the bills and in his
studies |?
Ali but many and many night,
for all that, Johanna sobhed herself
to sleep.
One Autumn day, Frank, lying on
his side on bank of snow, upon
which the sun was beating so warm
ly as almost to soften it, spied some
thing black in crevasse far down
beneath him. Presently he saw the
something move, next he heard it
halo.
1T as cried Frank; mo, it can't
be-but, by everything that is re-
markable, it's nobody else but Pod
dlesby Ay, scream away, my little
man. / took you out of one Gre
vase ; now, indeed, you shall become
food for the eagles. Revenge is
sweet
Yes, reader, revenge is sweet, but
Vengeance does not belong to man.
Frank lay there for two whole hours
watching Poddlesby, then his better
nature prevailing, he went straight
away and got assistance, and in a
short time the Englishman from Ea-
ling was out of danger. When he
saw who had again rescued him,
Poddlesby positively burst into tears.
Come with me, come with me, lie
cried, 4 shall die else
And he led Frank straight to Jo-
hannu's cottage ond dragged him in,
and took his half unwilling hand and
placed it in blushing Johanna's.
Il have done you both an injury
he said 4 have nowAto Grave for
givness, which I sincerely do Ss
|. Well, there was some good in little
Poddlesby's heart after all.
| needsnot say that Frank and Jo-
hanna were married. Yes, and Pod
dlesby was at the wedding, too, and
the most charming gift that Johanna
had was Poddlesby's.

TWICE SAVED,
ss1RANK DE VAUD was climbing

N&HnANA LIE v AOD WIS CllIuUluS
NI 5s up particularly stiff part Of
S particularly stiff hill. Some
times he called in the assistance of
the Alpine stock he held in one hand,
but just as often he clambered on
and up without it. He was hand
some and a well-made man; any one
could see that at a single glance,
though he was but a chamois-hunter.
His face and hands were bronzed
with the sun and exposure to the
weather, but in his cheeks the red
blood of health mantled, and his dark
eyes looked ever so soft and good
natured, and when he smiled, as oc-
casionally he was doing now, there
was right merry twinkle about those
same eyes, and he showed a set of
teeth as white and even as bats.
Why was Frank de Vaud smiling ?
Well, one reason was this-he was
singing, and the song he was singing
necessitated occasional smiles. Par
enthetically, let me tell you that it
spoke volumes for the strength and
vigor of his lungs, that he could sing
at all while climbing SO steep hill
But he had-I am bound to say
one other reason for smiling, for Frank
de Vaud was going to, see pretty,
little, bright eyed Johanna, the goat
herds daughter, and Johanna loved
honest Frank, and he knew it right
we'll. They were going to be married
before great many months were
over, and his chief reason for visiting
her cottage to night--she dwelt a long,
long way up the hill-was to press
her to
''Name the day, the happy day."

Ordering u Wife.

That there may be now and then o
man with such peculiar notions Of
the marriage relation, that he will or
der wife as he would a Jersey COW
or a threshing machine, is not sur
prising. That there should be q
large number of such, who are ready
to marry, as boys trade jackknives,
con sight, unseen," may make us
wonder if the old notion of the sac
redness Of the marriage tie is not
dying out. 1t has somehow got
abroad that At the immigrant depot
at Castle Garden, Now York City,
wives, or, rather, those ready to be-
come wives, may be had for the ask
ing. 1t appears to be the impress
ion that, one who finds his farm in
the Far West, OF elsewhere, incom-
pletely stocked so long as he has nc
wife, has only to send a specification,
a list of "points," and one will be Sc
lected and shipped &c. o. D." Sc
numerous are these applications fol
wives, that the more reading Of them
seriously interrupts the regular bust
ness ofthe officials, and they wish j,
to be understood that the Bureau O.
immigration is not q Bureau of Mat
rimony. We know how annoying j,
is to be expected to select wife 70,
q distant stranger, as we have beer
placed in that position ourselves. W.
will, of course, accept the confidence
reposed in us, and not give any clue
to the writer of q letter which came
not long ago from Washington Ter
ritory. We are willing to do great
deal for our subscribers, but we must
draw the line somewhere. When Il
comes to doing their counting fol
them, we kindly, but firmly, decline
Like Hamlet, we ''must be cruel, only
to be kind" We should hesitate t.
engage honsekeeper for another
much less wife We have some old
fashioned notions, one of which is
that it would be well for one about
to marry, to first see his wife, and i,
might not be out Of the way to b
introduced to her.

Little Mr., Poddlesby hailed from

having died heirless, and left him
