By, and by, Fred happened to 'mention a friend of his in Is'ew York, who was very fond of flowers.

"It is for her I wish these specimens," he said. "Mrs. Stauton, though a fashionable lady, is really an enthusiast about roses. Her lovo for them is not a sham, as with so many others. She means what sh Hose caught her breath, and drew a step nearer, for and Fred had been standing.

"Mrs. Stanton did you say?" sho cried with auiraation. "Mrs. John Stanton?" He nodded assent. "Oh! how glad I she continued.

"The Stanton's were such 'old friends of father's. Mother, mother," and she ran impulsively to th door aud called Mrs. Stainely, "here is a gentleman who knows the Stanton's." Then seeing the eyes of Fred fixed on her, in undisguised admiration, she blushed. Mrs. Stainely came in, and Fred formally introduced himself The three were at 'homo together irom that moment.

Tbey; talked of the Stanton's first, then of flowers, then of Fred begged for tho "Wedding March," and then played himself (his! touch was exquisite) a "Cradle Song." What happy days followed Soon Fred becamo a privileged guest Kose grew more lovely in', his eyes every day. A fairy 'with her bright brown curls, and yet a lady, too, Uo.e was as sweetly and innocently herself as if there had ueyr been prudes or coquettes in the wbrltl. It was along wooing nevertheless, for Kose was too wise to give her heart until she was sure her suitor was worthy of it. I am afraid Fred's wealth, at first, was against him. But love works wonders.

Thero is not a happier tvife now in all New York than Kose, nor a more distinguished leader "of 'society. In summer she and Fred go back to Maplewood, and Kose is as fond of flowers and fruits as ever. But she, is fondest bv far of Fred. Ci.sciNNATi, May3, llox. B.

Daniel Webster once said: There is nothing tfpon this earth that can compare with the faithful attachment of a wife; no creature who, for the object of her love, is so inlomitable, so persevering, so ready to suffer and die. Under the most depressing circumstances, woman's weakness becomes a mighty power, her timidity become fearless courage, all her shrinking and. sinking passes away, and her spirit acquires the firmness of marble adamantine firmness when circumstances drive her to put forth, all her energies; under the inspiration of her aflection.

iT. A. DENNISON. Fred Badger, wns considered, in common parlance, a "catch." high-toned, a rising lawyeri everybody courted him. lie had passed his twenty-eighth year in j.ho vain hope of finding somo paragon who would enchain his senses, aud prov to bo his ideal.

In the searoh after this yet undiscovered perfection, ho had become weary. At last one summer day he found himself at Maple-wood, a beautiful village among the hills. lie Was delighted with its surroundings, and resolved to remain for a'day or two at the littlo inn. To hia amazement he found fruit for breakfast, though' it was still June. Tis like living in I'aris," he said to himself, sipping his coftee.

'These strawberries are the best I ever he remarked to the landlaJy. "Do they grow in your garden?" "Oh, not these are some "that Miss Staiuely raised. We've a young lady here who has a fine garden, and we buy of her, because we always get the best," said the hostess. "Her father died last year; he was a clergyman, and he left nothing but the house and rarden. Miss Stainely supports her nvother and herself." Miss Stainely must bo a genius," said Fred, taking up his paper.

InJeed she is! her garden; is a sight to be seen. They send for miles around for hen fruits and flowers." "An old maid, I presume," muttered 1 indeeu. as fresh and blooming a young lady, aitd as well mannered as you could wjsh to see. Kverybody loves Miss Stainely." Fred smiled to himself, and soon forgot 3Iiss But some hour after, when out for a ho saw a little brown cottagethat arrested his attention by its picturesji-'eness. Thfere was a vine-covered porch ith the Wisteria climbing up all the corners, and there were great doable rose full of sweet odors, blushii'g beside the pretty entrance.

Just then a little boy came out jof the cate with a basket (of luscious strawberries. Pray, my- lad," said Fred, "who lives here?" 'Oliss Stainely, sir." --Fred glanced again at the strawberries. They looked doubly beautiful now that lie knew a young lady, and said to be pnattv, had picked them. He wondered if her linjrers were fair. Then he laughed to himself at the folly of st ch an idea.

Suddenly a voice sounded, so' near that it startled him. Please brinr nut my pruning shears, Janey. This vine needs attention," it said. "Heavens! is she strong enough to wield them?" thought Fred with a 6ort of horror. "Ah the poor little things; how1 I hate to jut them, lint they must go," said the voice, Fred noticl how caresting and tender, how soft, low and womanly the voice was.

"And here's my darling little Concord," the voice continued, "putting oat such tiny, moist buds! I gave it up a week ago, and came near cutting it down, i How glad I am 1 spared it." By this time Fred was in an agony to see the lips from which proceeded such 6weetnsounds. At that moment a gentfe-faced, elderly woman appeared at the back door and said "liose, dear, the sgn is getting too hot for you." "Yes. mother," was the reply, and a slight girlish figure, the face completely shaded by 3k large garden hat, came blithely forward, sprang up the steps, and vanished. 4 "Kose! What a pretty name mused Fred, more interested than he had ever found himself before. "And such a little creature, I had fancied her large and masculine," in face and figure.

Pshaw I 'what a fool I am! What is the girl to me True, what was the girl to bim? It was very strange that her voice hannt-ed him bo. A little country girl who sold vegetables--he would not think of her again. But the next day, almost before he knew it, he found himself sauntering towards the brown cottage. As he came near there was a sound of music -piano -forte, well played the "Wedding March," his favorite 1 He stopped, thunderstruck. What did it mean Could the hands that dug and weeded elicit -such harmonious chords Presently.

the music ceased. "She must gaput and pull radishes," laughed Fred, nervously to himself. Then a bright thought struck him. She sold berries, seedlings and slips. Wbr not sell some to him? He would 4 at least ask her.

Yon see Fred was a bold lellow, and no faint-hearted coward. In a moment he was ushered into a rpom, which at first glance he took for a habitation of the faries. Hanging baskets, rustic frames, vines trained over every window. A little grotto of moss and shell work in one corner. Book-cases, tastefully ornamented The piano with one of the most beau tiful covers he had ever seen in his life.

She was neither blonde nor brunette; She had charming large gray eyes under straight lashes, and lips jnst large enough and sweet enough to the voice Fred had heard. The man's brain was in a whirl Never bad he been less self-possessed.

But in a moment Fred came to lis Fred had that rarest of all gifts, personal eyes were full of expression. He was famous for his tact. With a. low bow, he stated his errand. Hose, at first, was shy.

She seemed to suspect the truth, and withdrew within herself. But Fred, who really knew a great dear about soon' Tin: OHTi The Forty Thieves lived a great many years ago, whun thieves wero scarce hehco they were embalmed in story. Had they lived in our day, when thieves" are so numerous, they would have been totally disregarded on acoonnt of tho insignificance of their number. The story; is simple. Cassim and Alt Baba are brothers.

Cassim is rich and AH is poor. While the former" leads a life of luxury and ease-the lattwr hauls wood for a living; and olXen bemoans his fate, forgetful that Grant once followed that honorable occupation. Wood-haulers should not despair for "they may become l'resident for what thf know or for what they don't know; it is hard to tell which now-a-days. One day when AU Baba went to the forest to get a jag of wood, ho saw horsemen ajjroaclnng. Fearing evil, he climbed into a tree and concealed liimHcin The troop halted that identical tree, dismounted and took from their horses several heavily loaded carpet-bags, which led him to iufer, that they were carpetbaggers, returned from life South', gorged with; tho spoils of oflice.

He found, however, that they were regular professional thieves and then ho had more respect tor them. f. The captain of the band there were just lorty of them--approached a rock hard by and Uttered tho words, "Open Sesame when, as All afterwards exprenhed to his wife, "you'd orter seo Sammy open." Instantly on the word fa door concealed in the rock, opened! as if by magic, and the captain entered, followed by. his fand, ho marched in open order by the left tlauk-doiiblo rat-tail file, centering on the left wiug, the extreme right resting on the door-sill, at a shoulder arm muskets reversed. Military readers may understand this.

I dout. When they lad all got in. the leader Sesame!" when Sammy immediately bhut. that being apparently what Sammy was for. Soon after, (he robbers (having away their plunder) re-appeared; the door closed after them at the word of command, and mounting thir horses they rode When they wero gone, All 'Baba, getting down from the tree tried the magic word himdf, and after a liitlo hesitation he entered the robbers' jcavc.

Great was at what ho beheld. He found splendid apartments, suitable for marriiedjor single gentlemen, hand.Hotnelr furnished, and lighted withi pas, witli or without board, and within five minutes' walk of the Postlofike. On every hand wore heaps of diamond, bags of gold, and dead load of greenback. Here, then, was where the robbers lived when they M'crc at home, and stored their He determined to have his Vvhaick at it. So loading his with all it ctmhl carryi he started io'T home.

Imagino the delight of yir. Baba when Iwr husband arrived. (Sl.v had been very much 'concerned oyer hi prolonged absence, because he was Ali Baba, all she had.) She helped hi'ut unload the gold and store it away in the cellartwith an alacrity he rarely displayed in doing her house-work. She was au'xic tjs to know just how much there wa.1 it so as to make a correct income rttnni lo the government. Accordingly, whilo her husband was gone to put up the mule, she tried to count it.

Naturally wearying of this employment after she had got up among the iiiJlions, hhe concluded to measure it, a.id for that purpose she ran across the street to her sister-jn-law's, Mrs. CassiuVs and borrowed her half-bushel, meas ure, pretendicg that she wanted to measure some potatoes. As it was so unusual a thing for Ali Baba's family to have a bushel potatoes at oue time, Mrs. Cassim's I curiosity was excited, so she put some Spauldinga glue on the bottom of the measure' to see what kinld of potatoes they were, which was mighty small potatoes on tho part of Mrs. Cassira.

When the measure was returned Mrs. C. found a five cent nickle adhering to they bottom. This was a very suspicious circumstance indeed When," said she to Cassim, in relating the circumstance and showing the nickle, when did your brother ever have five cents in the house at Onee Of a sudden he seems to have bushels of money." Cassim; walked over to his brother's house and questioned him on the subject, when Ali, being a generous-hearted fellow, told him all about the cavern.1 Next day Cassim went up to get some himself, but after loading himseff down with wealth, he-forgot the agio word which opened the dopr, and so couldn't get out. lie tried the various words, cried "Open See-Tommy!"

He packed the last four sad5 remains of his brother in one of the sacks which were on the mule he brought along? and then, to balance it make accounts square with his brother as it vverej---thoughtfully stuffed the otbei'' sacks "with gold ana things, so that, her afterwards reckoned it, his brother's four quarters on one side of ther.mule 'were to thirteen hundred thousand six hundred and forty-three dollars and fifty cents to tho other. It is rarely that a brother can bo made so useful, tlead or alive, especially with only four quarters. Tho next, business, after getting his quadrilateral brother home; was to bury jhim without creating suspicion among tho neighbors.

To account reasonably fof his dath, a servant was went to some drug storo for whiskey, under the pretence that Cassim wanted it for medical purposes, so when it was given out next day that whiskey killed him: no one thought strange of the circumstance at all. Thero was an old cobbler, who lived on the corner- hard by, who (opened his stall very early in the mof-ning to accommodate any one who, having been drinking hard the night before, wanted an early! "cobbler. He consented to bow Cassim together for a consideration, and was accordingly blind-folded "And led to the house. Ho asked if they wanted "a yellow fair stitch and divided," or jiwt com-, inon "black welt;" but Ali, who knew noting of shoemaker's lingo, but he thought his brother had been welted enouKh already, said, 'just go ahead and sew him The cobbler performed a very neat job, though ho left a stitch in his side Cassim never got over. 1 Io offered to half-solo him, too, and set up his heels, but further services wero declined.

Cassim was buried tho next day with becoming honors, and tho various societies to which ho belonged attended the- funeral, each of them holding meetings afterwards and pass ing resolutions of respect, which were published the day in all the papers. Engrossed copies of these resolutions were presented to the widow, but after kicking awund a few days they were sola lor om rag, the wid ow marrying again. It is impossible tho space I have to minutely follow the various stratrgcins employed by the robbers to learn -who' it was that possessed the secret of the cavc- Sulfico it to say, they at length did, aud plans wero laid for his destruc tion. One day the captain of the Forty Thieves came to Ali Baba's houKo (ho had moved intp Cassim's brown-stone front) and pretended ho was a dealer in petroleum. He had a large quantity of non-explosive oil in casks, which ho desired to store with him for a few davs.

It was shrewdly conjected by the robber chief that if the oil did not blow up tho whold family. which was probable, his men would dispatch them during the night. 1 Tho plot failed, however.

A fcr yam girl, who sitting up pretty late, in the kitchen with hr young man, went to one of the casks to replenirth her lamp which was get ting low, and discovered tho robbers Shu finished them all by boiling some oil and pouring it through tho bung-bole not the only instance by anv means where men havo been ruined "in oil." This narrow of. tha Baba family from destruction "should be a warning to people not 'to allow strangers to roll caks of petroleum into their front parlors. The robber chief, being -thus left alone advertised in the papers for forty more thieves, determined to begin business anew, and hoping by industry arid close attention to business to merit a fair share of public patronage. But he was so with ex-Congrcssmen absconding bank officers, dishonest postmasters, Indian commissioners, cx-rcvenuo New York city councilmen' and others, that he was driven nearly dis tracted. Instead of forty there were at forty thousand of them, and bein, disgusted he concluded to go out of he thieving business altogether; it was getting too low.
