UNDERTAKEN, EMBALMER AND
FURNITURE DEALER.

On the West side of Broad street,
Just South of Brinklcy's door,
Stands the large, CommodiOus building
Known as Ziegler's Furniture Store.
He carries a very choice stock,
Of everything, in the furniture line,
And also deals in Undertakcr's ware,
In finish and style very fine.
And being a Cabinet-maker himself,
Having long served at the trade,
He's always prepared to do new work,
Or repair the old ready-nade.
He feels assured, your wishes to please,
And your every taste crafty,
That you'll no longer hesitate,
But make your selections and buy.
At his prices you'll never complain,
Or the terms he offers to sell,
Either at a discount for CASH,
Or installments, if it suits as we'll.
A kind invitation he extends to all,
Especially every new married pair,
To call and examine his beautiful goods
Before making purchases elsewhere.

CHAPTER l.
IN THE MODERN MART.

Angular beyond the hither boundary
of primness, and not without its flavor
of subacid, was the presence rising per-
pendicular to the cane sofa and seeming
to CLINT in the flood of summer. For, on
that glad June morning of 1860 a soft
ened sunlight saturated the river breeze
ere it swept into the wide French win
dows of Rose villa.
1t needed neither the small bunch of
keys dangling at her girdle nor the
sleek bands of thinning hair above the
knotted forehead to proclaim Miss
Tabitha Fays minated state. Her whole
being radiated spinsterhood, and charac-
teristic, while not unpleasing, was the
voice that said:
Nonsense, Brother Standish! you are
talking as though we had sold our dar-
ling into slavery"
And the long white fingers turned the
leaves of the housekeeper's book with a
snap.
Benton Standsh turned irresolutely
and walked toward the window. His
round, rubicund face grew Swallowed
and heightened visibly as he looked out
dismally upon the most tasteful garden
on all the banks of the lordly Hudson.
The breeze that played about his hair
was heavy with odors pilfered from the
flowers; but the sniff he gave was of
discomfort; the gaze, turned inward,
rocked little of the landscape, judging
from the half soliloQuy, half reply:
