ItA nil right, 1 anppose, since they all do it (nolang intended), tint it was a trying time for me, I can tell yon. I could warcely get a glimpse of Nell, she nas so lny with drcssma-kers, milliner, etc. and when 1 did sec her Bho was'an such a rattling hurry to be off to kesp an appointment with some workwoman or other, that I actually grew a little savage. For a month Wfore we were to Ito married, I hclicto I entered the houvonce but Kate, NelPs sinter, rushed Into the room with an "Kxcn-w me, Ilert, but Nell is wanteil a mo-meiit. Or, "Don't look cn Ilert, bnt Nellie mnst see Madam thw or th.it," till I lost all patience.

There wan another ianoof annoyance, too; Nell's father was a rich man, and as able as he was willing to fnrni': his daughter with as much finery as hc might desire, while on the contrary, was a man with hi way to still make in the wurlil. Trne, I had a fair income and fair prospects, but I conld not hope to gio Nell as Iuxnrion a homo or a elaborate a wardrolw as her papa pnnldcd, at least, not for some years; but I conld afford to support a wife, and I loved Nell with all my heart. Whan I asked Mr. Hartley consent to onr marrUge, he as at first Just a little inclined to find fanlt with my financial condition. An older man, with a wellsecred fortune, would hje smted him better.

Ho had a most unwholesome dread of fortune-banters, and even went eo far as to have a mild snniciou that I inisht bo just a bit interested in that way; bnt all that woro off in time and were on the best of terms. I only mention this to Miow how a suspicion once entertained, will return on tho faintest invitation, aud hot tinfrpqncntly on nemo at all, for the time came hcu Mr. Hartley not only entertained this unjust aurmisc, but eagerly Lugged this foul thought to his heart, and grow murderous in that vital organ towanl mo Bertram Langley as innocent a man as ever stepped.

The regular sexton was obliged to leavo town, bnt had secured the errices of his brother (a very deaf nnd stnpid man, as it turned ont) Poiibly she might have some instruction.) to give him. I waited full half an hour in tho reception room, cooling my heels and warming my wrath, liefore Nt 11 rnahed in. "What is it, Bertr ho aked, breathlessly, "I am awful busy." A spark is enough to Ignitoa whole city, if it only falls npon highly inflammable material, ami a word is quite enough to raise a forions temper in a man who is aching to get mad; so I answered curtly: "If yen are in' such a hurry, it is no matter what I wi-ih to say." Nell opened her brown eyes in snrprisc. "I've got to select Nome lace," she exclaimed, "and Kato can't wait." "Neither can I retorted shortly, pulling on my gloves.

That she believed me a most blackened villain was plaia, for tho look she garo mo when she rpeognized my presrnce was one of unutterable contempt.

I wrote letters for my colored cook to her husv band, a slave in Kentncky. She told me that he was so faithful his master trusted him to come alone aud nn watched to Cincinnati to market tho farm produce.

On th north coast be; found a small village, built by the earlier kings of 'the country for a rendezvous of the ast guard detailed to defend the adjacent sUrcs ngatust the piratical descents of Greek advcnlnTra. Tho youthful eonqnerer perceived the advantages which the village possesieil for a great metropolis.

A vast aoa washed the town on the tipper side, a large lake lay Ielow it, and avunltitudobf uatnral canals ran ont Into the adjoining districts. The anunal risiug of the Nile cleaused the lake, says Strabo, from its im-pttritieAj while the Etesian winds rendered the climate peculiarly delightful. So Alexander rebted here, sent forafamoasarchttectofGrerce, audimlted to his new capital a multitude of artificers, merchants, and workmen from all quarters of his dominions. Tho city shortly rose to be tho great commercial city of those days, aud Mtnsessed a largo and increasing population. Magnificent palaces were built on the great squares, and the orderly streets were thronged with a gay and animated people.

The trado of Arabia and India centered in Alexandria, where idlenean was. unknown, aud every, citizen Glass, linen and papyrus were manufactured InMurgoqmintities, 1and for two and twenty centuries the city has continued to bu a highway for the cominsrco of three natiou.

They wcro known as a seditions and inrtamoia-blo people, and riuts were oommon in the streets. In later years, no place in the world was more famous fordiepnte between Christiana and Jews, nor for more frequent or bloody conflicts.

An interesting picture of tho domestic life of the Alexandrians, during the sway of the Ptolemies, is given by the Sicillian poet, Theocritus. He renrvacuU two women for the play.

Such was life among the common people of a city that fifty years before Christ numbered a free population of 300,000 souls, and as many slaves, Charles Kngsley, in "Hypatia," and George Ehcra, in "The Emperor, have presented eharaiinir and accurate portraits of the Alexan drians under tho Roman Emperors.

Alexander, and 8t. Atbanasius against Dcraetnns, inAnans and other so-called heretics. Alexandria, thongh fuundod nndar propitious omens according to tho tradition, was not destined to enjoy a peaceful existence. Again and again has it been besieged, and again and again have the streets been filled with notons inhabitants. As early aa 171 H.

Antiochns Epiph-anes, King of Syria, laid aTege to the city, but was compelled by tho Romans to abandon his undertaking. Forty years later, tho Alexandrians revolted against Ftoleray Phycon, In consequence of his intolerable cruel ties, and drove him to Cyprus, whence he was restored, after a brief struggle. In 60 B. Ptolemy Alexander died, and bequeathed his capital. to Koiue.

A few years later, wncn uau uciraicu xuuin-), a riiarsalia. the victor pursued him intoEgypt and besieged Alexandria. This was tho first great siege me cny uau annereu. icocoauic. is known as the Alcxandriane war.

Cirsar gained a portion of the town, after a desperate straggle, bet tho Alexandrians were protected by triple walls, forty feet in height, built of square stones, and manned by an innumerable host" of soldiers. At internals, towers ten -storks, Int height were built, from which "javelittdarts, land hngo stones woro rssl "unou the. besleirera, Morinz towers of the same had also been constructed, and tucsowerc moveii irom piace to piacc, through tiia1eel and naved streets, as occasion demanded. Work-shops for tho manufacture of arms bad been erected in great numbers, wnue a host of slaves were busy within. Cicsar sam-moncd his ships from Rhodes, Syria, and Cilicfa, archerarom Crete, and the cavalry of Malchns, Battering'tams were placed against the walls, and the siege began.

Meanwhile, there was a sharp naval fight in the harbor, in which the Alexandrian lost one hundred and ten ships, and Cjrsar narrowly escaped with his life at the capture of Pharos. The Roman soldiers at this time were using water frem cisterns and aqueducts brprj Tatd piouseeVberein they were quartered! The Alexandrians contrived wheal a and filled the sources of anpply with sea water, unseen by tho who. finding all their drinking water turning salt, became panic-stricken. Finally, they were calmed and ultimately won the city. There was desperate fighting in the streets, but Cirsar conquered.

As he entered the city. Preceded by the blare of trumpets, the whole zuultitnde threw down thrir arms, and Jbrsook the fortifications. Before them they carried those sacred symbols of religion, wherewith they had been acenstomed to appease offended kings, and met the conqueror on his arrival. Cesar placed his royal mistress, the beautiful Cleopatra, on the throne, and finally withdrew to other scenes. In 30 A.

IX, the city was occupied by the forces of Augustus, who declared it an Imperial city, and for many yeara, after AJejtandrtV.was governed by a Ko- maa Jref? TJ Two hundred years later, Caraealla, "the savage beast of Ausonia," as Dion calls him, or dered a massacre of all the Alexandrian youths of military age. The slaughter waa as inhuman as it wastaaoaued for, but can add no Infamy to this abandoned wretch, who has been justly called "the common enemy of mankind." Caraealla had levied the heaviest taxes, and authorized the crudest confiscations. The murmured complaints of tho people aroused his ancer, aud a huaiar. sacrifice. was demanded by his devlish spirit.

From this period on, Alexandria was the scene of sedition and civil war. Jew aod Christian slaughtered each other inhumanly to the jamnsement of the refined and witty pagans, de-ivotees of philosophy and science. Diocletian besieged ana eapiurea ine city in CT3, ana again Alexandria was blood-drenched. To tho horrors of tumultuous riots at length was added an inundation that swept away 0,000 people, and devastated the coast. A great earthquake occurred, and tho jhores of Egypt were forsaken by the retreating sea, leaving the bottom of tho Mediterranean visible for ntanymlles aronnd.

And when the returning tide swept In resist lessly, the country was covered for two miles inland. It was at this that St. Hilar- msclfnpoa across, be fore wliicn uie mountainous waves stoppctt, and returned. 0 In GIG, Chosrocs, Kiag of Persia, at the head of a host of ninety thousand soldiers, after pillaging Jerusalem and carrj Ing off the patriarch Zacbaria and the "trne cross into his own do minions, marched into Egypt, and the vencra- uie city iecarae me property oi ine reriaua. Twenty years later, Alexandria suffered the most memorable of her hiezes.

For fourteen months Aniru, a valorous Lieutenant of the Caliph Omar, of Medina, lay beforo its gates with a host of Moalctn warriors. The brave inhabitants made frequent sallies, but the Saracens rcpnlscd them with the fury of lions. In one of these engagements, Antra was captured by the Christians, and takrn before the prefect. The haughty commander, the Lieutenant of tho caliph, despised the "Christian dogs" who had raptured him, and suspected his ideutity. So Imperious was his demeanor that a slavey his fellnw-prisoner, slapped him In the face 'and reminded him that he was speaking to an officer and a captor.

Tim Greeks were tricked, and Amrn escaped. Twenty-three thousand Saracens had brru slain before the city yielded, and then the standard of Mahommed floated from the walls of Egypt's capital. Amrn sent word to the caliph that be had taken the great city of the west, the variety of whose nchesand beauty it was imjiwtsible to enumerate. "I shall content myself," said he, "with observing that it contains 4.000 palaces, s.000 booths. 4.000 the atres, or (daces of amusement, 12,000 shops for the sale of vegetable food, and 40,000 tributary Jews.

The Moslems are impatient to atexe the fruits of victory. Bnt Omar would permit no pillaging. Xevcrtbelcss, when Amrn begged the royal library for John the Grammarian, a famous peripatetic philosopher then In Alexandria, Omar is said to have replied that If tho looks centained the same doctrine as the Koran, they conld be of no use, since the Koran contained all the necessary truths; but if they contained anything contrary to that book, they ought to be destroyed. Consequently, the caliph ordered them to bo bnrned, and were distributed for fnel among the four hundred public baths of the city, whose fires they are said to haekept bn ruing for six months. This was the remusnt of the famous "Alexandrian 00,000 volumes.

The story of tho caliph, however, rests on doubtful evidence. Within four years, the Romans twice occupied the city and the defenses, and were twice expelled by Amrn. Civil feuds con tinned, and there were frequent ont breaks again -d the captors. Two centuries later, a band of An da Ins tan corsairs were let Into Alexandria by a faction of its citizens, who paid a dear price for their treachery. The Spanish, cut-throats slaughtered friend and foe alike, pillaged churches and .1.1 nn .1 1.

The next year it fell into the hands of Amanry, of Jerusalem. In 1270, Peter of Cyprus tunned it, and in 1305 John II.

The founding of Cairo, iu 92G, had subtracted mnch of her glory and commercial Importance, tho ruin of which was nearly completed by the discovery of the passage to the Indias around Cape Good Hope, in 1477. So low did the city siuk under subsequent rulers, and especially nnder the Turkish, that at the beginning of tho present century it numbered scarcely more than G.000 inhabitants. Since then tho increase of iMipnlation has been remarkably rapid.

In 125, it had increased to IG.000 iu to in lc71, to of whom were forcigucrs, made up of Turks, Arabs, Armenians, Greeks, Svriaus, French, Italians, English, Germaus, etc The harbor has been greatly improved during the present centnry, and many expens'no public works begun. Sncb, in brief, are some of the vicissitudes of Alexandria. Alexander conquered the world; but of all his conquests none except Alexandria remains to perpetuate his name. It is his ouly monument. The city of the Macedonians and the capital of the Ptolemies has been drenched in the blood of all peoples.

Persians, Greeks, Jews, Franks, and Spaniards, have fought with and against the natives within and aronnd its walls. Verily, the conquering nations of the world have beeu taught the trnth of Homer's verse: "To go to Egypt, across tho shadowy sea, is a long and hazardous journey. Hartforri Co rant.

i vicinity in the twilight sky, on the evening of i no u. win vvocMKiun nun mc euuiuiik Ul Breakneck, one of the highest of Killingly hills," aud our obser ing seat waa a clump of rocks. Below as tho tree-tops quivered in the light breeze, like sentinels guarding us from iutrus? ion. Above ns to horizon, the view was unoo- strutted. The atmosphere prevailing on tho heights, threw a spell oyer our spirits that shut out the world, and concentrated the attention npon the magnificent canopy arching over onr heads, with its gorgeous array of sunset clouds and softly-fading twilight hues.

We were alone with the sky and the clonds. Thns, in silence, wo look above, waiting for the coming of the brightest of tho stars. Our watch was soon rewarded; Venn peeped forth from the sky-depths, at first a point of golden light, the ouly star visible to the thousands that onld spangle the firmament later in the evening. As the shades thickened, and the twilight paled, she grew in beauty and in grace, taking on all manuer of lovely aspectsas passing clouds flitted over her fair face, now trembling on a cloud-edge, now glimmeringfrom a cloud-depth, and now beaming brightly in the clear light of heaven. Mars, after a while, made his advent npon the scene, at first as a tiny point of red light, which the eye now caught and now lost, and then increasing in proportions, until he was distinctly visible.

There the planets hung side by side, Venus being on the northeast of her brother planet; for, since tho coujuetlon on the morning of the 2d, tho planets hare met on the celestial track and crossed over, Venus passing east and Mars passing west. It is much to bo regretted that tho planets were below the horri-zon at their nearest approach, when only five minutes apart. It is something to bo grateful for to have seen their comparatively near approach from the lofty heights and amid the serene silence of a hill-summit that rises a thousand feet above the sea level. Tho conjunction of Venus and Mars was not the sole feature of the brilliant eveninz scene. The snnset clonds divided the honor of the occa sion with the planets.

The sun sank to rest behind a huge cloud of angry blackness. Ashe disappeared below the horizon his beams pierced the lower edge of the cloud, and sent forth a flood of crimson light. The clonds in the northwest and north caught tho expiring rays, and reflected in gorgeous coloring every hue of the rainbow, on every imaginable fantastic load-form. Purple of the deepest hue, crimson, flame-color, pink and deep bluo mingled and blended in the wondrous display. Rifts of crimson pierced through tho dark clond that had concealed the setting sun, breaking it iuto fragments: charm ine cirrus clonds in the zenith changed form and hue with every passing minute; and a sombre storm-cloud ra the East brought out in vivm contrast the glorious panoply that graced the other portions of the sky.

As we cazed in wonder and in awe unon the scene, the clouds gradually lost their coloring, their weird forms were dissipated in the coming darkness, A glow of faint crimson lighted onr downward way on the tree-shaded road; while Venus aud Mars, now joined by rompanionstars, looKca out irom ine west, nearing tne nonzon, and shining from a clondless portion of the sky. A magnificent sunset and a close conjunction of two planets on Breakneck, were almost too mnch enfoyment for the capacity of human nature to take in at once, ana, as we reproancea tne lovely picture in tho mind's eye, we concluded that finite powers are not adapted to the adaptation of life on the heights, except for occasional sojourns. rroridmce Journal, Jug. 5. aa i i aa A Little Thing.

Lieut. Fred. A. Wood, of the Eighth Maine volunteers, although an excitable man, was well known for coot bravery Id the midst of the battle of Fort Harrison, Sept. 29, 1664, he had jnst given to the company that he commanded the command.

The aamo ia true of drink. Wo know tn onr own experience of thousands- of men who drink Intoxicant, rrgolarly, and go ahont their, work enjoying life and health, while once in a while we eorae acroea a drunkard who lirea in 'perpetual misery.

Thia wonld.

b. no worse than for teetotaler to trot ont their old topers aa the reprenentatiTea of that liberal class of men who drink wlue and enjoy life. Because intoxicants occasionally get away with a man who 1 too weak to govern himself, ia no reason why all men should abstain. It la a fact that railroads sometimes smash men, bnt this it no reason why we should all walk. rTicsila Tines.
