I could always get along with deaf people. My voice was clear aud my enunciation was distinct; so I tried again. “Bad weather for the lecture?” I bawled out in stentorian accents. The driver stoppedand leaned down to the carriage door. | “Eh, miss?” said he, “did you want anything?” “No,” I said, semewhat confused BY BOSE DAILY. I am a single lady. : There is no disgrace in that, I be- lieve. I might have married, more than ouce, had I pleased, when I was a silly, rattle pated girl, with more yellow curls than ideas, anda gener- al mauia on the subject of waltzing and baud music. I thank my stars that I bave outgrown that callow and silly age. I am quite independ- ent now, aud beholden to nobody. I make wy living by lecturing, and a very suug little living it is. I came to be a success, after a little practice, and a good deal of hard work, and made money. I took a suit of pleasant rooms in a quiet family hotel, and kept my own little coupe. But one day there came a request that I would deliver my lecture upon “The Women of the Period,” at Baggsville. I sent the waiter for an atlas and a gazeteer, and hunted up Baggs- ville. It was an unpretentious vil- lage, among the mountains, well up towards the northern lakes. “Baggsville, indeed,” said I to myself “A place with a church, a store, a post-office, and seven or eight young men who call them- selvesa Lyceum. They're mistaken in the lectures they want. They never can affurd to pay my price—a hundred dollars a night and ex penses.” So I wrote back to Squire Jones— at least I fancied from the big fat shapes of his capital letters, and the general pompousness of his phrase ology, that the “Orval Jones” who wrote to me, as “Chairman of the Literary Committee,” was an esquire, with a bald head, a blunt nose and light blue eyes. I politely mention- ed my terms. and straightway for- got all about the matter, until a let- ter came back, asking me to fix a date for the delivery of my lecture at the Baggsville Lyceum. I looked over my engagement book—I had become so popular a y: i “Thought I heard you holle said the driver. ‘Must ha’ been the wiud howling down the gorge.” As we started again I began to think I must have been mistaken as to the fact of there being anyone in the carriage with me. Determined to solve the problem, I put my ha: d} softly out toward the opposite side of the carriage. To my embarrass- ment, it encountered another warm human hand, which was drawn away with electric quickness. “Pardon me,” I said, awkwardly enough. “I—I dropped my beg and I was feeling for it.” Still no answer. seriously angry. } “If you don’t feel disposed for | conversation,” I said with some spirit, “pray, hold your tongue!” Apparently my vis-a- took atmy word. Total sileuce reigned, except for the occasional my charioteer, shouting at his} horses. Had I come to the land of | total barbarisin? Had I left civiliza | tion behind?

At the second firing Hamilton fired in the air, and Burr shot Hamilton. Hain- ilton thought Barr meant to kill him as he meant to kill Burr, but when he saw the discharge in the air he changed his tactics, as did Burr, with fatal results. This is said to be the true history of the duel fought by these two great men.— New York Tribune.

Will you have the goodness to tell your coachman to drive me to the nearest hotel?” “But it’s fifteen minutes of eight!” | said he; “the audience is waiting!” “I don't care if it’s fifteen minutes of eighteen,” said I. “I have already experienced some of the civilities of Baggsville.

It's a deaf and dumb gentleman, Miss Speak well.” “A deaf and dumb gentleman?” I repeated. “And he’s not quite full witted, either,” added the Squire. “I’m sure I beg your pardon for exposing you | to the least anncyance—but he was on his way to the asylum, eight miles beyond here, and his friends had sent an open box-wagon to meet him, and the poor fellow was half perished with cold, already. So I just rode up in the bex-wagon my- self, and put him into the carriage. I supposed Butts, the agent, had |told you all about it.” | My short lived indignation melted character that it was quite necessary for me to keep such a volume—and settled on the night of the 23rd of December. The 23rd of December was a day of driving storm and tempest. Fer- ry-boats dragged slowly through floating masses of turbid ice; travel- lers were delayed in lonely mount- ain gorges, and it was nearly six o’clock when we reached the station at Baggsville. “Thank goodness,” I said to my- self, “I shall have time for a good rest and a cup of strong tea. But, to my dismay, when I got out at Baggsville station, blinded by the lights that flared through a driving rain, confused by the everlasting groaning machinery, I discovered that the villageof Baggs- ville itself was ten miles further up the mountain road. “We've just been telegraphed frem there,” said the station agent. “The Lyceum is filling up fast. You'll have a good audience, miss, in spite of the weather.” “But how can I possibly get there in time?” I demanded in hopeless perplexity. “Squire Jones, the chairman of the committee, is here with his close carriages,” said the agent, compla- cently. “And you'll find it mighty snug and comfortable,” said the little man, rubbing his mittened palms to- gether. “Here it is now.” Through the flying snow fiakes T could just discern the dark opaque body drawn up close to the platform.
