On a wonderful anmmcr'a evening, juxt a» hol¬ iday time began. It had for it« scene old Cornwall—its hero a Coafitguardman! A puny nf “trippern" had ventured to visit the rocks and caves, Where the sea birds find tlieir houses, and ig¬ norant folks tlieir graves; You may M arch for wild adventure on the sra coast south and north But for Is nntv, travel by Truro to (l.o village of Perranporth. It was there on this summer evening, on the beach as the daylight died, That a wandering, thoughtless follow was caught at the turu of the tide; Up Came the soa and trapped him, cutting the ground from his feet; He rushed, but he couldn’t go onward—then hack, there was no retreat! Up rame the eea still closer— was it death ? Not a second to count— fieri setting his teeth at the danger, to the cliffs lie began to mount. Tearing the tmf and the grasses, and scoring the sea birds’ nest, dinging with feet and fingers, and bruising his arms and hi east, At last with a desperate si niggle he lifted his life to a stone, Where lie held with a cry for a second, sus p< nded in air, alone ! Once more death barred his passage; ami his terrified face turned gray, for the. ledge of tlio |oek lie clung to yes ennobling akswly away! “Where is the niati for a rescue T so tho err of agony ran. “I am that man, Ood willing!" said Regan, the Coastguardiuan ! Then followed a terrible silence, a horror that might he felt, For the village was emptied of women, who muttered their prayers and knelt; They could see the eyes of the shivering man, with the agonized face turned gray, As stone after stone from liiu safety-ledge kept (lowly crumbling away! “JJiiug me a rope !” raid Regan, “and bind it about my waist; IiOok at that wrplfthed fellow! In a second he il fall f Mule haste ! Keep the cord tight in your hands, males there, tighter Mi, and stilt i How, wail till I give the signal! Then haul me over the cliff.

Mr. Fitzroy Castleton reclined on an elegant little sofa, in an attitude at once graceful and easy. He was certainly very mmasonui - to there was a something ni his tout r/i t-. i U> that would have prompted a gen th man to utter “conceited puppy !” on encountering lnm, of a smldeu. lli features were of the straight.

But I flatter myself that my part of the business was done remark ably welL I’d like to see any fellow get down oa his knees hi more graceful style than I did last night. ” And, catching a glimpse of himself in an opposite mirror, Mr. Castieton gave jjj g ghjrt-ccdiftr a little twntmi, and pro needed: see how ^thfnl all my Nina’s ra&p&S « * K l, .ana, u,d 101(1 ana j I must uni i be n excrutiatinglv uu.tuiigi.v j. no- > {££?!eS£ iiZS, r" dear 'm“ with; whereas entrenrms, my cigar, it’s her gold.

She may go to 1 ranee then, for all I care, so long as I have the handling of her bank book | That reminds me—I must send her a little bijou of a betrothal ring pearls, I suppose, with some sort of a sentimental motto. That will he diffi cult to manage, though, for my credit’s getting deuced low. T can’t play the confidence game much longer; yeti think Gold & Co. will trust me, if I just whisper a word or two about ray expec tations. I’ll make the experiment at all events !’’ At this stage of matters, Mr. Castleton tossed his cigar out of of the window, and took up a tiny tray cards and notes, which had all this time been standing unheeded at his elbow, so rapt was he in Elysian dreams. Some were perfumed billets-doux, some cards of invitation and some—his face grew very black over these—were threatening bills, and dun iiing letters confounded from indignant tradesmen. “This tailor’s bill, acrain!” growled Mr. Castleton, savagelv. “He’D put in an execution, he says. Will he ? May he find something worth his trouble —there’s nothing here belonging to me I’m very sure. That scamp of a boot maker ! ‘Long account’—‘heavy amount’ —‘wife and children.’ Why are such plebian wretches allowed to bother their betters?” And Fitzroy fiercely tore the pitiful note into tatters. At this instant a knock was heard at the door. “Who’s there?” cried Fitzroy, pet tishly. ‘ “It’s only me, sir,” said one of the servants of the hotel. “There’s a woman here insists on speaking to you, sir i” “A woman?” “Yes, sir—she her won’t take‘no’ for an answer. I told you were engaged. but she says she won’t detain you J i i minute.” “Who can it bo?” mused the seif worshiper. “Well, show her in, Jen¬ kins.” The next moment a poor, thin, shadowy creature glided in, clad in mis¬ erably darned and insufficient garments, ancLt lisplaying the ghastly on every stamp feature of of her wan face poverty and iflncM. A dark expression of anger shot over Mr. Castleton’s brow as bo rec¬ ognized Her. “What arc you here for again, woman?" ho exclaimed. “I can’t attend to your paltry affairs !” “Mr. Castleton,” she said earnestly, “I implore of you to settle this bill. It is tho fourth time I have called about it. I worked six weeks for yon, em¬ broidering and making up linen, and at your request selected and purchased the materials myself, when I could ill afford to advance the money. Mr. Castleton, is it right to defraud the poor of their hard-earned support ?” It was a part of Mr. Castleton’s pro foasion, but the jioor widow did not know that. “Leave the room, you audacious beg¬ gar !” he sternly exclaimed. “1 am—starving—my babes are crying for bread ! Oh, for the love of all that j H human, pay me but a trifle of what yen owe me !’ “Tliere is no proof that I owe von a cent. ” he returned, Tprs'.'^ir with a sneering faugh; Go I say, ami be thankful that I do aUeSfing 0 ^’“extoTmo^ey un^erTaC pretenses " Hhe turned nu very - pale * ,V lint faltered V out , . . - . r . *• “There, that matter is disposed of,” he muttered, with a sigh of relief. “And ">r «ttlo Nina’s ring ” 1 ,u> afternoon snn ot that self-same inlt ->iua Annin, the tne orphan oipiiuiitii belle a amt heiress, wringing the golden masses ot ll0r hiur wliiie her onh living gnnrdian, an aunt sat by, watclung her, w > ‘ '■» lovnigyet slightly H. anxious eye.

He was shown into the parlor, where Nina sat by the window, quietly await¬ ing him. In the deep shadow, at the other end of the apartment, sat another female; but the pre-oceupied suitor did not even notice this.

Mr _ Orton died and his wife soon fol Jowedj leaving tll0 children orphans when oaly fonr and ttree years o]d A eharitaV) ie physician live of Chester county took Clara to with him, she being then of years so tender as to scarcely realize that she was changing one home for ano ther, ^d receiv ingthe loving oare 0 f an adopted father in the place of the mother’s love of winch death had deprived her. The friends of his pa ren ts took charge of the boy Richard an( j gave him a home. He scarcely knew that he had a sister, or the neces sity w fii c h had torn her from his arms and decreed that their homes should be different. As Richard grew up he be¬ came a handsome, intelligent boy, and made remarkable progress in his studies, Q n leaving school he manifested his competency to take a position of trust among the business men of his vicinity, Legs than ten days ago the charitable Chester county doctor came to At | an tic City and stopped at the Chester County House with his adopted daugh ter, Clara Orton, a pretty, dark-eyed and dark-haired maiden of eighteen. Last Saturday altemoon, as the young j ad y wae strolling on the beach, her eye lighted casually hair and on a youth rather of graceful twenty, w i lose eyes, figure,-of medium sisse and weight and smoo th,' dark complexion, made him a pi ea8an t impelled, object to look he upon. by He saw u e r, and as says, some ipHcnistible impulse, the the strangers spoke awd walked down sand together. They conversed without hesitation, each trying to read in the other’s eyes the oaVstery of their mutual attraction, Richard asked the young lady if he m ight said come and adding, call on “I her that evening; She yes, am staying at the Chester Cofmty House.” in turn Richard said, “I BU]l * p O80 j ought to tell you that my ua me is Eicbard Orton.” “Why,” said she, “that is my name, j 0O J « How very strange. Where is home?” And the story of their ear jy years leaked out little by little; t ,, ( -v knew they must be sister ahd i, vo ther and the scale of ignorance ami fifteen years absence fell from their eyes. ’ That evening the strange story of the two young people was told to Mrs. May, the proprietress of the Germantown House, jvho had known their father and mother in Germantown. Richard had intended home the ’ to go on narrow Gauge on Sunday night, but Sunday morning he and his sister went to Phila¬ delphia together, united after a lifetime uf absence. The Washington Monument Stone. - Parties here who had a hand in the re moval of the stone sent for the Washing ton Monument from Rome in 1854 say that it will probably be recovered by the dredges bow at work on the Potomac flats,_as the point where it was sunk in the river is within the section where they will soon be at work.
