"| (CONTINUED. )

‘ Try it,’ he said; and then Aunt Lyd- dy, after sho had swallowed it, laughed to think what a tableau they had made— a man who had been in the State-prisom ‘standing over her with a great kuife! , And then she laughed again.

| ‘What are you laughing at?’ he said.

‘It popped into my head, supposing ‘Susan: should have looked in at the seuth /window and Joshua into the door, when you was feeding out that eyster to me, |what they would bave thought !’

Eph laughed, too, and, surely enough, just then a steut, light-haired, rather plain-looking young woman eame up to the south window and leaned ia. She had on asun-bennet, which had not pre- | vented her from securing a few choice |freckles. She had been working with a ‘trowel in her flower-garden.

‘What's the matter?’ she said, ned- |ding easily to Eph. * What do you two always find to laugh about?’

‘E phraim was feeding me with spoon- ‘meat,’ said Aunt Lyddy, pointing te the ' basket, which looked like a basket of anthracite coal.

‘It looks like spoon meat,’ said Susan, and then she laughed, too. ‘I'll roast some of them for supper,’ she added, ‘a

‘new way that I know.’

HARDWARE!

Eph was not invited to stay to supper, but he staid, none the less; that was al- ways understood.

‘Well! Well! Well!’ said Joshua, coming to the door-step, avd washing his hands and arms just outside, in a tin basin. ‘I thought I see you set down a parcel of oysters,—but there was sea- weed over ’em, and I don’t know’s I could have said they was oysters; but then. if the square question hed been put to me, * Mr. Carr, be them oysters or not?’ I s’pose I should hev ‘said they was; still, if they’d asked me how I knew——’

‘Come, come, father!’ said Annt Lyddy, ‘ do give Ephraim a little peace. Why don’t you say you thought they were oysters, and be dene with it?

‘ Say I thought they was?’ he replied

innocently. ‘I kuew well enough they was—that is—knew? No, I didn’t know, but--—’

Aunt Lyddy, with an air ef meck re- signation, gave up, while Jeshua en- deavored te fix, toa hair, the exact ex- tent of his knowledge.

Eph smiled; but ‘he remembered hist would have made him pardon, a thous- aod times over, the old man’s garrulous- ness. He remembered who alone had never failed, once a year, to visit a eer- tain prisoner, at the cos: of a long and tiresome journey, and who had written to that tired and homesick prisoner kind and cheering letters, and had sent him baskets of simple dainties for holidays.

Susans bustled about, and made a fire ef crackling sticks, and began to roast the oysters in a way that made a most savory smell, She set the table, and then sat down at the melodeon, while she was waiting, and sang a hymn,—for she was of a musica] turn, and was one of the choir. Then she jumped up, and toek out the steaming oysters, and they all sat down.

‘Well, well, well!’ said her father;

‘these be good! I didn’t spose you had any very good oysters in your bed, Ephraim. But there, tow,—I don’t spose I ought to have said that; that wasn’t very polite; but what I meant was—lI didn’t suppose you had any that was real good—though I don’ know but that I’ve said the samething,now. Well auyway, these be splendid; they’re full as good as those cohogs we had t’other night.’

‘ Quahaugs!’ said Susan. The idea of comparing these oysters with quahaugs.’

‘Well, well! that’s so/’ said her father. ‘I didn’t say right, did I when I said that? Of course, they ain’t a comparison —that is,—no comparison— why, of course, they is a comparison be- tween everything, but then cohogs don’t really compare with oysters! That's true.’

And then he paused to eat a few.

He was silent so long at this occupation that they all laughed.

Well, well!’ said he, laying down his fork, and smiling innoeently; ‘ what be you all laughin’ at? Not but what I allers like to hev folks laungh—but then— I didn’t see nothin’ to laugh at. Still, perhaps, they was suthin’ to laugh at that I didn’t see; sometimes one man I’!] be looking dewn into his plate, all taken up with his vittles, and others, that’s lookin’ round the room, may see the kittens frolickin’, or some such thing. “Taint the fust time I’ve known all hands to laugh all at enct,when I didn’t see nothin’,’

Susan helped him again, and secured another brief respite.

‘Ephraim,’ said he, after a while, ‘ you aint skilled te cook oysters like this, I don't believe. You ought to git mar- ried! I was sayin’ to Susan t’other day —well, now,mother, have I said an’thing

out o’ the way?—well, I don’t s’ ‘twas just my place to have said an'thing’”

about gittin’ married, to Ephraim, see- in’s

‘Come, come, father,’ said Aunt Lyddy, ‘that'll do, now. You must let Ephraim alone, and not joke him about such things.’

Meanwhile Susan had hastily gove into the pantry te look for a pie, which she seemed unable at ence to find.

‘Pie got adrift ?’ called out Joshua. ‘Seems to me yeu don’t hook op te it very quick. Now that loeks good,’ he added, when she came eut. ‘That looks like cookin’!’ All I meant was, 't Ephraim ought not to be doin’ his own cookiu’,—that is, if you can call it cook- in’,—but then, of course, ‘tis cookin’—- there's all kinds 0’ cookin’. I went cook myself when I was a boy.’

After supper, Aunt Lyddy sat down to knit, and Joshua drew his chair up to an epen window, to smoke his pipe. In this vice Aunt Lyddy encouraged him. The odor of Virginia tobaceo was a sweet savor in her nostrils. No breezes frem Araby ever awoke more grateful feel- ings than did the fragrance of Uncle Josbua’s pipe. To Aunt Lyddy it meant quiet and peace.

Susan and Eph sat down on the broad flag door-stone, and talked quietly of the simple news of the neighborhood, aud of the days when they used to ge to sehool, and come home, always to- gether.

‘I didn’t much think, then,’ said Eph, ‘that I should ever bring up where I bave, and get ashore before | was fairly out to sea!’

‘ Jehiel’s schooner got ashore om the bar, years ago,’ said Susan, ‘and yet they towed her off, and I saw her this morning, from my chamber windew be- fore sunrise, all aail set going by to *he eastward.’

‘I know what you mean,’ said Eph. ‘ But here—I got mad once, and I al- mest had a right to, and I can’t get started again; I mever shall, I can get a livin’, of course; but I shall always be pointed out as a jail-bird, and could ne more get any footin’ in the world thao Portuguese Jim.’

Portuguese Jim was the sole profes- sional criminal of the town, a weak, good-natured, knock-kneed vagabond, who stole hens, and spent every winter in the House of Correction as an “idle and disorderly person.’

Susan laughed outright at the pictare. Eph, smiled, too, but a little bitterly.

*I suppose it was more ugliness than anything else,’ he said, ‘that made me come back here to live, where everybody knows I’ve been in jail and is dowaj on me.’

Concluded in our next.

rt tr Another Plot to Assassinate the Czar. A St. Petersburg despatch says the Czar and the whele of the Imperial family left Moseow om Sunday night, travelling to- wards Novgorod a distance unknewn. The eause of the sudden departure was the dis- covery of a plot tc assassinate the Czar. A woman named Guza, a friend ef Selou- vieffs, was appeinied by the Nihilists to attempt its execution. The woman escaped, but ethers were arrested.

The Franco-Italian Treaty.

A Rome despateh says the first sitting of the Italian and French Commissieners for negotiating a treaty ef commeree between the two countries was held te-day. Signor Mancini, Minister ef Foreign Affairs, said it was the earnest wish of Italy to arrive at a reasonable arrangement with a ceuntry to which she was attached by sincere friend- ship. The Marquis de Noailles, French Ambassador, replied that France desired to conclude a treaty which would be advan- tageeus to the mutual interests of beth countries. —————— @> Ge

On September 13th the meetingat Beacon Park will open, which will include the great stallion raee fer $10,000 en the 15th. As an additional attraction on that day, Mr. Balch has offered a purse of $2,2,500 te Little Brown Jug, the pacer, contitienal on his beating his owe recerd, 2 124, and also the best time of Maud 8. . 104.° Mr. Bemis, the owner, has accepted the offer, and is confident that, goed day and track, he will win the purse. In the stallion race, it being the last of the season, the horses will probably be sent for all they are Worth, and it is likely that fast time will be made.

At the trial ef McGrath and McKevitt, a few days ago at Liverpool, the prisoners pleaded nots guilty to the indictment charg- ing them with having attempted to blew up the Tewn hall. The counsel for the presecu- tion stated that there was streng evidence that the prisoners were connected with a band of noterious conspiraters in tae United States. He announced that the prisoners would not be arraigned for ‘‘ attempted murder,” as the evidence on that count of the indictment was insufficient. Beth prisoners were found guilty of placing explesives against the Tewn hali, thereby endangering life. MeGrath was sentenced to penal servitude for life, and Me- Kevitt to fifteen years imprisonment. —--——_—_~.>-oe—_—__ -—
