When you come, put in your finger, lift the latch, epen the barn door, and il drop into your arms like a ripe apple. Oh, I do so leve to ran away! Won’tit hc delightful?’ The speakers were Jue Clavers and Mary Miller! I need not mention that they were lovers. Mary's father was a prosperous farmer in Connecticut, and Mary herself one of the wildest, most light-headed, romantic, innocent and affectionate creatures ever made after the ~ almost divine’’ model of mother Eve. Joe was @ generous, impulsive youth, whose parents had once seen flattering days, but had of late been unfortunate, and fallen into comparative poverty. Farmer Miller, as he drew rich, grew ambi- tious. Mary was his only child. e looked to her settlement in the world as a means of his own social advancement, and had already se- leeted, in his mind’s eye, a suitable match for her. Ofcourse, Joc’s attentions, therefore, did not meet with his approval; and while hoe was unwilling to be thought sordid enough to reject Joo openly, for hie lack of means, he had sug- gested to that young adventurer the propricty of absenting himeelf altogether from i phe attractive presence This done, he had assured Mary of his resolution to dispose of her hand according to his own notions of feminine happi- ness { need not say that these facts, operating upon the mind of a thoughtless, loving, eccen- tric, and spirited child like Mary, had a pecu- | ar effect. That very moment she determined to marry Joe Clavers. He was evidently per secutel’ Persecution only made him the dearer toher. She liked him before, but now she loved him. In fact, the more she thought of it, the more she was convinced that he was an angel, and that perfect idolatry on her part would only be an act of noble devotion. If Farmer Miller had been a sensible man, and at all disposed to study human natare, be d have adopted perhaps a very different course towards his wayward daughter. He would have introduced his proposed son-in-law and forbidden her. at the same time, to mdulge in the slightest regard for him. The proba- bility is that she would have fallen desperately in love with him at first sight, and given Joe his conge without further ceremony; but Far- mer Miller had a way of his own in all things, and he was satisfied that, should Mary feel disposed to play him a trick, he was quite able to manage a Roland for her Oliver. The very next morning after he had, in this manner, *‘ opened his mind,’’ as he called it, to his daughter, he luckily happened to see Joe Clavers make his furtive entrance into the kitehen where Mary was busily at work. but not singing as usual, for she was brooding over the parental cruelty. Farmer Miller did not permit many minutes to ela before he had placed himself in the wash-house. which adjoined the kitchen, so that he might hear all that passed between the dis- comfited lovers. He did hear the dialogue with which [ have commenced this historitte He possessed himself of the plan of the con- templated elopement, and he was satisfied. “ She is going to run away, is she ””’ he said to himself. -* I'l teach Aim a lesson, I war- rant me; and as for the little Gipsey, I'll settle her business very speedily.” After tea that evening. Mary retired to her little room her heart beating with anxiety for the approach of midnight. Bee surprise may be imagined when, half an hour afterwards, she tound herself a prisoner. She tried the handle of the lock. It would not move! What was to be done? Could it have been fastened on her by accident’? She called for her father, and he came. * What's the matter, Mary ?*’ was his excla- mation, without, however, opening the cham- ber door. “ My door is fast ard I can't get out!”’ ~ Very well. dear, wa: his reply; “go to bed, like a good girl, and i'll open it in the anorning. She knew it was not of the slightest use to Temonstrate. He must, by some means, have discovered her design. She could do nothing but weep and bite her lips with vexation. The next thing the farmer did was to visit the barn. As usual, it had a large wagon-door, in which was cut for common use a smaller en- trance. The latter was only secured by the ordinary latch inside which was lifted, in the customary way, by thrusting a —— through asmall hole made in the door, beneath the latch, for the purpose Farmer Miller remained in the barn long enough to arrange matters to suit his private —— and then coming out through the sta- le that adjoined, or rather lay partly beneath it, he walked quiotly home, laughin heartily to himself. Ile first listened at his daughter's door, and finding all quiet, retired to his own room and went to sleep. Just about midnight, a horse and wagon drew silently up, on the road, behind Farmer Mil- ler's barn. Joe Clavers got stealthily out of the vehicle, jumped the fence and crept ¢ tiously around to the door of the buildin; question. How happy he felt! In another moment, Mary would be his own! In the morning. she would be his darting little wife. Farmer Miller weald storm, of course; but the farmer loved his daughter dearly. He was proud of her. He would therefore, relent, for- give, and bless them, Fall of these delightful aaticipations, Joe thrust his finger in the hole of the barn-dvor to reach the laich, but Ah’ how he yelled with pain. A stecl-trap, adroitly placed on the inside, so as tocatch any obtrading article. had snapped, and his bleed- ing finger was held fast with its iron teeth! ie was acold night. and Joe's feeli: may be conjectured as he stood there, shivering and shaking. bour after hour, unable to move from the spot, held a prisoner by the savage instru- ment, his lacerated finger occasioning him ex- quisite agony, and his heart fairly ae into | hes boots with the conviction that daybreak would only expose him to the former's indigna- tion and the village ridicule Just at crores la Miller chuckling over the success of his ruse, wont down to the barn. There still stood Joe, and not far off the horse and wagon. I need not say how Joe implored pardon, and promised everything that could be desired to purchase it and silence. Farmer Miller and he finally closed a 5 Joe was released. Nay, morc. Farmer Miller gave him one hundred dollars, and Joe was in New York, before noon, ¢ route for Lowa. As for Mary—this incident occurred two years ago, and [ grt kissed her first baby. She pleased her father, and seems to have pleased herself in consequence, quite as much. —Sunday Times. ge Mr. Geo Dexter, of Saratoga, is the Pen ofa maary stab at that place. Ip the centre of the stable is a trap or door, which is two feet in width either way. The “‘opening’ communieates with the ecllar, which is some six or seven feet deep. On Friday last, a fine gray mare was missed from the stable. None of the doors leading to the stable had been opened, and it was a few moments a matter pe poarch mal as to where the an'mal was. It was 0 served that the trap door, like the witch's | cauldron, bad sunk.

Strange as it may appear, the asimal was not injured in the least; not even a hair taken off. It was necessary to tear up'the flooring to get her out.
