Blnfflrins lured ' his dog cnUinsisstiiwllj ; be loaed bis m dsnghter moderstelj. ' liluffkiiis wis what is usuaIIj desig- , listed "n tough esse. " There wns notliing soft, or winning, or childlike qbocit Bluffkins. He aru not of lofta ststtire, but, like tbe "holy eity of Jerusalem, be n aras oompectlr built together." Nobody BTer ooutmliotel Rluffkins— ' " they didn't dreaun of such • thing Ton - wouldn't yourself. Bluffkins dwelt in an old tumble-down , bouse on tbe outskirts of m New England town. Ho was rich, though he didn't t look it— it wasn't his style His raiment , was exceedingly shabby ; his hair ami - like a buffalo-robe' that had brand th» : "battle and Uie brne«e." shaggy and i . summer stuuet, whilo his aoioe scared i , obfldren and made big peopla wish that I r they were safe borne in bed. ~ , ' When be eame along the perfume of r bis brrmth was not auggmtivo of a pro- j , , hibitory state ; indeed, it earned tbe by- . standcr away bark into the shady rintai ' of Uie past, when, some tiipe or other, ! , quite by aocidaut, be or she bad inbaleil ' , i the fragrauoe of New England rum or. - Bhiffiis was the but man to bare at j . pretty daughter, but he bad one. all tbe ! j ' some. Her name was Bertha, and she , was tbe admiration of a whole tribe ot , , young men who dwelt in tbe region round . ■ about BlufTkins'a 1 Not that they erer dared to aay ao— no, , ' indeed I It would hare been as mneh as their brsa wars worth to do more than j 1 raise their eyes to her fair young (aae as j ' alia entered tbe aaered portals of tbe ril- < lege church, which she attended alone, , . for Bluffkins was not a church-going j man by a good deal. As to ooming within the Jurisdiction of , ' Bluffkin's stick and Bluffkin's dog, they , r Would not do that if the Lord spared j them their sober senses. , Bo Bertha wasted her sweetness an tbe diarrt sir, and was bullied and hectored ( ■from morning till night, not only by the | dog and Bluffkins, but also by Bluffkin's , 1 right hand man— Mr. Hodges by name, a ] fteunan who bad. in the dusty annals of ; the past, deserted from tbe English , I Rumors ware current through the Tillage that if erer the British navy laid 1 hands on Hodges, be would be bunted I and branded, and played tbe dickens I with generally ; for be bad insulted tbe British lion by walking off ao unoere- ; moniooaly, and tbe British lion's would be a terrible renege. n« was made on the same model aa a , humming-top, was Hodges, and his face , i lookw like the style of cheese known aa j a Dutchman's bead, if that riawaa >..,1 , beam left around till it had been gnawed by the rata. He was not fresh, or elegant, or tempt- j ing— no way you oould fix him. If you ! dressed him in ancient armor, be would : _ i ba tbe aarne old alxpenoe ; and if ypu put I j a nii*v tbI ret ilrwhU cm him, slashed j j with old gold, tla would not look a bil j I otter. As a thing of beauty, Hodges .] 1 was a dead failure. When the dag, whose name was Boxer, i and Bluffkins himself got tired of bully- ; ing Bertha, Hodges ohipped in and bul- - bed bar himaolt She had a hand-maid ' of Hibernian extraction, and if it had not ; been for Biddy, Bertha would oartainly • hare given up tha ghost | Biddy was a highly original specimen. | . rod-haired and buxom, lull of wit and' ' given to seething repartee. She quarreled with Hodges on an average seventeen 4 times a day, and always aarne off victor- : ' ions, leaving Hodges worn and dis-: 1 mantled by the fray. ° "Bad look to your abwl, ye worthless, u diwortin' thief of the world I it's littls I'd « trouble nisaaif arid you only for your im- ' oudenot to Miss Bertha, the erataro' ; Sort anybody cae wouid gionty am I wdnta to have snob a daughmr only an»j r. owld dirtT mker like jonx beactfu! , icaatba.

Newr a foot do they put in a church, or do anything that daoant— Oh, sure it's a moighty hot oorner that's now getting M ready for the pair of them." "Hush, Biddy!

Oh, they are tbe useless devils — God help tlnm!" Bertha's life had flowed on like a turbulent stream till she reached her eighteenth year in spate of the blows and but- . fete of an outrageous fortune. She was n very pretty and interesting girt She Km! hut few friends, lint those she had loved and pitied her sincerely. Among thoso friends was a Mrs. Morgan, a young widow lady. She foil a strong sympathy far the mqtherlsm, and wurae than fatherless girL "Xa-ofleti as ; - Bertha oould make her eeoape, she was with the widgw, who always received her • ith the utmost, kindness Bertha did not dare to invito her friend to return those visits, for Bluffkins had ruthlessly forbidden ber to havo any callers. It Oue day, during tbe leafy month of I J line. Bertha ran over to tbe pretty white a Cottage occupied by ber friend. -She s found tbe widow at home, engaged in j conversation with a tall, handsome man. • | whom she introduced as "My brother, - 1 Cupt Humphreys " Bertha felt shy and t j awkward, for she had never bees in oom- . j pany with a flue-looking young man lma fore, and tbe stranger kept bis large blue j eyre fixed on her faoe with au nsdonbtI I very confusing. j When Bertha rose lo gd? tho captain i , took np bis bat, and remarked to bis sisI i ter. carelessly. — t j "I need a stroll, Tilly. I will eaoort ! Miss Bluffkins home." i Men are stupid creature*, it is useless i to deny it, or George Humphreys must 1 seen tho winks and blinks bis sister i so freely b«»,t.jwed upon him— bo did not I sen them end bo marched out of the t followed by a large, liver-colored | d>«'j Bertha's heart fluttered like a newly. ' j caught bird between happiness and ap- ' , prehension. ' j I will pause here to tell any one who | dues not believe in love nt first sight, ' j that they need not go on with this story. | 'J George Humphreys and Bertha did ' | tumWxl'ihlo'TC a'fierioct'abyss'oY love — . I I over heels. Before they reached , | j tint door of Bluffkin's oaatle, George , ' | came very near asking Bertha to be bis ' Wife, and if be bad done ao she would , have said "Tea," there is not the slight- , art doubt about it 1 When they drew near they espied . 1 Bluffkins sitting on tbe front steps watch- . ' Hodges watering tbe flowers, for ' Bluffkin^ras very proud of bis garden, and be was not above superintending ' operations therein. He bad a large Dutch pipe in liis ' mouth, and when be saw bis daughter ' approaching with a young man, ho took ' it out to give room for the overflow of i Bertha oould not hear the flowery lan1 gnage of her ancestor, but she guessed 1 pretty well what style of conversation 1 would greet her as soon as tbe stranger 1 taken bis departure. ' "Papa," she said in a aliaky voice, 1 "this is CapL Humphreys, Mrs. Morgan's brother." "Good-day, sir," growled Bluffkins, [ like tbe pictures used to ibuaI ♦— Is ' ' j—l snA the B— "C-ll ** jjf pioi tores of tbe giant i "Good -day, air. "Very pretty garden ■ yon—" 1 What else be was going to ssy no one will ever know, for at that moment an 1 ominous growl was beard, and Bluffkin's ' dog tumbled down tbe front steps on 1 "hospitable thoughts intent" and grasped ' j th* captain's dog by the ear. ' | For a abort time the whole atmosphere I was full of yelps, oaths and watering-cans ' ; at tbe contending parties — it ™ 1 no use. Bluffkin's dog was of the John Bull species, and. wnen ne once too* 1 : bold, did not know bow to let go ; but the captain's dog was a enban blood1 hound with a terrible depth of jaw. and ' he had Bluflkiifla dog by the throat and in spite of bankets of water poured Over , them, they did not relax their grip till - | a—WI to that "bourne from - whenoe no traveller returns.
