James Cromwell lost no time the next morning in waiting upon Mr. Manton. He was In that state when suspense is intolerable, and he wanted to have his fate decided at once. Accordingly, soon after break last, he was introduced , into the presence of Clara’s father, whom he found a.one. The young lady, con siderately foreseeing the visit, had gone out for a walk. Mr. Manton was sitting indolently in a rocking chair, reading. “Good morning, Mr. Cromwell,” he said. “Take a chair, if you please, and excuse my rising. I am not young and strong like you, but an invalid.” “Oh, certainly,” said Cromwell, doing as directed. “1 have come to see you, Mr. Manton,” he proceeded, “on important business.” “Indeed!” said his companion, whose cue was to assume entire ignorance until informed of the na ture of his errand. , “You have a daughter,” proceeded the young man, nervously. “Yes, and an excellent girl she is, ’ said Mr. Man too, warmly.” I am sorry to say that this was not Mr. Manton's real opinion. He and Clara, in fact, used to quarrel pretty often in private, and he had more than once styled her a cross-grained vixen and termagant, and used other terms equally endearing. "Yes,” said James Cromwell, fer vently, “your daughter is charming, Mr. Manton.” “She is a good girl It would break my heart to part with her!” said the father. “You wouldn’t object to her being married, would you?” said Cromwell, alarmed at this last statement. "1 guppose she will ma’-ry somo timo,” said Mr. Manton. “No, I should not feel it right to interfere with her marrying, if she desired it. Far be it from me to blight her young affections." [TO BE CONTINUED.] Spoiled His Kyes. An Italian, who had a pair of showy black eyes, and was excessive ly vain of them, permitted himself, in a peculiarly outrageous manner, to insult a defenseless young Eng lishwoman who had recently lost her husband. f An American painter slapped his face, and received his challenge. In the art of fence the American was proficient; and, as swords were chosen. I asked him, writes Henry Harland in the Idler, on the night before the meoting what he was going to do to the littlo beast. “Not kill him?” “Oh, no, I shan't kill him. I don’t want to soil my hands with his dirty little life. I think I'li just put out one of his handsome black eyes.” The next morning, in a wood near Virottay.tho men crossed their swords, made a few feints and passes, and then, be fore they had been at it a full half minute, the Italian gave a scream. Surely enough, the American had pinked him in the eye. 1 he I set Wu Pint. Teacher, to new pupil—What is your last name, my little man ? i New Pupil—Tommy. Teacher— What is your full name?

Beside each plate lay two menus, a iisli menu on iimple white cardboard with the impe rial eagle in rollef and a meat menu with the usual gold tenements and the engle in gold. As the guests sat down every one was asked by the lackeys whenther a fish or meat dinner would be agreeable, and then one menu was taken away. No the servants know what dishes to serve.
