I took advantage of his momentary absence to enter the car unseen, and then passed back into the baggage-ca- r adjoining among the trunks and bunnies, and in the darkness I felt secure from intrusion or discovery. Determined to make the best of matters, I fixed myself up a comfortable bed of some blaukets that were there, and laid down to sleep until we reached the city. 1 was awakened by being pulled roughly about by some men, and asked whu I waf, and wbat 1 wns doing there. I evaded an answer, and, as the men were in a hurry to unload the car, they did not trouble themselves long with me, but jostled me roughly out upon the plat. torru, and advised me never to attempt to steal another ride. I was now in the city, and it was quite early in the morning. As I had no place to go to, and could do nothing till daylight, I lay down in the depot for another uap, and slept until the noise of carl 8 and drays awoke me. Then I hur ried from the depot, and, having a few cents in my pocket, went in search of some place where I might purchase a cheap breakfast, before 1 began the task of looking for work. I found tlie breakfast at a stand in a farmer's market, where half a dozen country folks and a few rather coarse looking people, familiarly known as "hucksters," were jtiaking their morning meal at a long pine table, covered with steaming coffee, hot and inviting and a profusion of tempting rolls This sight almost caused me to forget my desolateness, fori was savagely hungry, and, sitting down to the ta ble, I ordered a repast, the price of which far exceeded the limits of my scanty purse. When I had finished the meal, I asked the woman in charge what I had to pay. "What did you get ? ' she asked, in a short, sharp manner, for she was in a hurry to wait on a frech customer. "I had a piece of beef steak, some coffee, and two buttered rolls," was my reply, as I pulled forth my rather rural looking purse. "Beef-steafifteen, coffee five, rolls five fifteen and two fives, twenty-five,- " was her arithmetical answer, and she held forth a large red hand for the money. But I hadn't the money, for ten cents was all the currency I possessed. Food had been so plentiful Rt my home in the country, that I could not realize how little meat and a few buttered rolls and of twenty-fiv- e could attain the money-valucents. But it was a bard, stubborn fact, that mustbe dealt with.'for the wo man was getting impatient and abusive. "Come, don't keep me all the morning," she said; "I've other customers to entertained of him from quite a ilifle'ent opinion favorable view of 1 did, and her wbat was both shared man by ray the young Arthur Middleion sister's for hand, and, rfy suitor was a of the older the in favor eyes finding members of the And mare influential "family, his calls became very frequent, mid be invariably received a btarty reception from every body except myself.

Perhaps it was ambitious in a young roan of Joyce's poor fortunes to aspire to marry the daughter of a wealthy farmer, but nobody seemed to think so until Arthur Middleton, representing himself as a merchant in Philadelphia, came to board in our neighborhood for a summer vacu-ti'in. When he had become acquainted with ray sist r, and his visits became very frequent, my parents were suddenly awakened to a knowledge of my sis- s, beef-steak-s, ter's worth, and to the impudeuce of John Joyce for thinking of her at all. The consequence was, poor John was forbidden the house by my parents, and treated with marked contempt by the girl herself. Love, however, when it enters the breast of some men, takes a strong hold, and strikes a deep root. It was so with John Joyce. Most men in lis position would have returned contempt for contempt when sneered at and disdained by tke girls they had loved. But poor John Joyce could not forget, in all the change her conduct had undergone towards him, the many happy hours Ibey had spent together, when loveis, and the vows they had made to be ever constant to each other. "Let her break her faith with me as the will," he would say, "I cannot tear my love for her from heart; and while she may live happy in another's love, 1 shall keep on loving her, hopeless and attend to." desolate, for I cannot lorgot what has "I didn't think the meal would come hee"n. to twenty-fiv- e cents," I said, getting red in have only got ten cents face. the "I 1 was attending a email school in the about me." neighborhood, at the time, and another "Didn't you know better than to order papil was a boy with whose parents Arcouldn't pay for?
