She was a beautiful, brown haired girl, with soft, shy eyes of violet gray, and rosy lips compressed to a linn ness far beyontl her years For after all she was scarcely seventeen, and so deacon Gray was telling her, as he sat by the fire spreading his huge hands over the tardy blaze, and asked: “ But what are you going to do to earn your bread and butter, child? ” “I don’t know—l havn’t thought. Mamma had an uncle in New York, who ” “Yes, yes-—l’ve lieerd tell about him —he was mad ’cause your mother didn’t marry just exactly to suit him, wasn’t it ? ” Marian was silent. Deacon Gray waited a few minutes, hoping she would admit him into her secret meditations; but She did not, and the deacon went away home, to tell his wife that “that Harlan gal was the very queerest creetnr lie ever had come across.” In the meanwhile Marian was busy packing her few scanty tilings into a little carpet bag, by the weird flick ering light of the dying wood fire. “ I will go to New York,” she said to herself, setting her small pearly teeth firmly together. “My moth er’s uncle shall hear my cause plead ed through my own lips. Oh, I wish my heart would not throb so wildly! I am no longer meek Minnie Harlan; I am an orphan all alone in the world, who must fight life’s battles with her ow r n single hands.” Lower Broadway, at seven o’clock in the evening. What a Babel of crashing wheels, hurrying humanity, and conglomerate noise it was! Minnie Harlan sat in the corner of an express office, under the flare of gas light, surrounded by boxes, and won dered whether people ever went eras ed in this perpetual din, and tumult. Her dress was very plain—gray pop lin, with a shabby, old-fashioned little straw bonnet tied w ith black ribbons, and a blue veil, while her only article of baggage, the carpet-bag, lay in her lap. She had sat there two hours, and was very, very tired. “Poor little thing!” thought the dark-1 paired young clerk nearest her, who inhabited a sort of wire cage un- j dor a circlet of gas-lights. And then he took up his pen and plunged into a perfect Atlantic ocean of accounts. “ Mr. Evans.” “ Sir.” The dark-haired clerk emerged from his cage with his pen behind his ear, in obedience to the beckoning finger of hi- superior. “I have noticed that young woman sitting here for some time —how came she here ? ” “Expressed on, sir, from Milling ton, lowa —arrived this afternoon.” As though poor Minnie _ llarlau were a box or a paper parcel. “ Who for ? “Consigned to Walter Harrington, Esq.” “ And why hasn’t she been called for ? ” “ I sent np to Mr. Harrington’s ad dress to notify him some time ago; I expect an answer every moment.” “ Very odd,” said the grey-haired gentleman, taking up his newspaper “ Yes, sir, rather.’’ Some three-quarters of an hour af terward, Frank Evans came to the pale girl’s side with indescribable pity in his hazel eyes. “ Miss Harlan, we have sent to Mr. Harrington’s residence** ” “Minnie looked up with a fever ish red upon her cheek, and her hands clasped tightly on the handle of the faded carpet bag. “And we regret to inform you that lie sailed for Europe at twelve o’clock this day.” A sudden blur came over Minnie’s eyes —she trembled like a leaf. In all her calculations she had made no allowance for an exigency like this. “Can we do anything further for vou ? ” questioned the young clerk, politely. “Nothing—no one can do any thing now I ’’ . Frank Evans had been turning away, but something in the piteous tone's of her voice appealed to every manly instinct within him. “Shall I send to any other of your friends ? ” HAMILTON, HARRIS FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1875. “I have no friends ? ” “Pe ! ips I can have your things sent to fame quiet family lioti I ? ” Minnie opened her little leather purse and showed him t\\ o ton-eent pieces, with a smile that was almost a tear. “This is all the money I have in the world, sir! ” “So young, so beautiful, and so desolate! Frank Evans had been a New Y r orker all his life, but he had never met with an exactly parallel case to this. lie Lit the end of his pen in ; dire perplexity.” “ But what are you going to do ?” “I don't know, sir. Isn’t there a work house, or sonic such place I could go to, until I could find some thing to do?” “Hardly.” Frank Feans could scarcely help smiling at poor Minnie’s simpliciiy. “They are putting out the lights and preparing to close the office,” said Minnie, starting nervously to her feet. “ I must go —somewhere.” “ Mi-s Harlan,” said Frank, quietly, “my home is a very poor one—l am only a five hundred dollar clerk—hut I am sure my mother will receive you under her roof for a day or two, if you can trust me.” ' “Trust you?” Minnie looked at him through violet eyes obscured in tears. “ Oh, sir, I should be so thank ful !” * * $ * * He “How late you are, Frank! Here —give me your overcoat —it is all powdered with snow and ” But Frank interrupted his bustling cherry-cheeked little mother, as she stood on tip-toe to take olfhis outer wrappings. “ Hush, mother; there is a young lady down stairs.” “ A young lady, Frank ? ” “Yes, mother; expressed on from lowa to old Harrington, the rich merchant. He sailed for Europe this morning, and she is left entirely alone. Mother, she looks like poor Blanche, and I knew you wouldn’t refuse her a corner here until she could find something to do.” Mrs. Evans went lo t tho door and called cheerfully out: “ Come up stairs, my dear—you’re ns welcome as the flowers'in May! Frank, you did qu'to right; you al ways do.” The days and weeks passed on, and still Minnie Harlan remained an inmate of Mrs. Evan’s humble dwell ing, “It seems just as though she had taken our dead Blanche’s place,” said the cosy little widow; “and she is so useful about the house. I don’t know how I ever managed without her. Now, Minnie, you are not in earnest about leaving us to-morrow ? ” “I must, dear Mrs. Evans. Only think —I have been here two months to morrow, and the situation of gov erness is very advantageous.” “ Very well, I shall tell Frank how obstinate you are.” “Dearest Mrs. Evans, please don’t. Please keep my secret,” “ What secret is it that is to he so religiously kept ? ” a.-lied Mr. Frank Evans, coolly walking into the midst of the discussion, with his dark hair tossed about by the wind, and his hazel brown eyes sparkling archly. “Secret!” repeated Mrs. Evans, energetically wiping her dim specta cle glasses. “ Why, Marian is deter mined to leave us to morrow.” “ Minnie 1” “ I must, Frank. I have no right further to trespass on your kindness.” “No right, ch ? Minnie, do you know that the old house has been a different house since you came into it? Do you suppose we want to lo3e our little sunbeam ?” Minnie smiled sadly, hut her hand felt very cold and passive in Frank’s warm grasp. “Y'ou’ll stay, Minnie?” “No.” She shook her head determinedly. “Then you must be mode to stay,” said Frank. “ I’ve missed some thing of great value lately, and I hereby arrest you on suspicion of the theft! ” “ Mis-ed something ? ” Minnie rose, turning red and white. “Oh, Frank, you can never eus peet me! ” “ But I do supret you. In fact, I am quite sure that the article i3 iQ your possession.” “The article!” “My heart, Miss Minnie! Now look here—l know lam very young and very poor, but I love you, Min nie Harlan, and I will be a good and true husband to you. Stay and be my fiule w ifu! ” So Minnie Ila' hin, instead of going out as a governess, according to the programme, married the dark-haired young clerk in Ellison’s express of fice, New York. They were very quietly married, early in the morning, and Frank took Minnie home to his mother, and then went calmly about Ids business in the wire cage, under the circlet of gas lights. “ Evans! ” “Yes, sir.” Frabk with his pen behind his ear as of yore, quietly obeyed the be hests of the gray-headed official. “Do you remember the voting woman who was expressed on from Millington, lowa, t wo months since? ” “ Yes, sir—l remember her.” A tall, silver-haired gentleman here interposed with eager quickness: “Where is she? lam her uncle, V alter Harrington. I have just re turned from Paris, when the news of her arrival reached me. I want her; she is the only living relative left me.” “Ah! hut, sir,” said Frank, “you! can’t have her.” “ Can't have her? What do you mean ? Has anything happened ? ” “ Y r es, sir, something has happened. Miss Harlan was married to ine this morning.” Walter Harrington stared. “Take me toiler,” h ■ said hoarsely; “I can’t bo parted from my only liv ing relative for a mere whim.” “I wonder if he calls the mar riage service and wedding ring mere whim,” thought honest Frank; hut he obeyed in silence. “ Minnie,” said the old man, in faltering accents, “you will come to me and be the daughter of my old age? I am rich, Minnie, and you are- all I have in the world.” But Minnie stole her hand through her husband’s arm, “Dearest uncle, he was kind tome when I was most desolate and a'ono. I cannot leave my husband, Uncle Walter—l love him 1” “Then you must both of you collie and be my children,” said the old man, doggedly; “ and you must come now, for the great house is as lonely as a tomb.” Frank Evans is an express clerk no longer, and pretty Minnie moves in velvet and diamonds; hut they are quite as happy as they were in the old days, and that is saying enough. Uncle Walter Harrington grows older and feebler every day, and his two children are the sunshine of his de clining life. Printing.— The following is given as a specimen of printers’ technical terms.

A few Sundays after, the same worthy elder waited on him with the intelligence Hat ten more desired immersion. “And how many will join the so ciety?” queried the minister. “Two, I regret to say, are all we can depend on,” was the elder’s re ply. “Very well,” said the good old man, “you may as well inform the other eight that this church doesn’t take in washing.” nr Mr. F.

When I wer a boy dad fetched home a ditrttcd, worthless, mangy, fllcebitten, gray, old fox lioini, good for nothing but to s waller up what orfer lined the bowels of his brats. Well, I naturally took a distaste to him and had a sort of hankerin p.rter hurt in his foehns and discumfertin him every time dad's back was turned. This sorter kept a big skecr afore his eyes, and an nw fnl yell ready to pour out the first, motion ho see mo make.

I heard a noise like bustin’ sumthin,’ and his tal lit on my hat. His lied was away down the hill, and his teeth took a dead hold onto a roof. His fore legs were fifty feet up the road mnkin’ runnin’ 1110- shions, and his hind ones astraddle ova fence. As to the dog, I never seed him again. Well, dad, durn his unsanctified soul, flung five or six hundred under my short, with the dried hide of a bull’s tail, and gin me the remainder next day with a wngin whip what he borrowed from a feller while lie was waterin’ his horses; wnginer got for me, and hollered for mo to turn my beggin’ and squallin’ into first rate runnin’, which I imejully did, thanks to these ’ere hamstrings, and the last lick missed mo about ten foot. An Awful Liar. 110 did n’t look like a liar. 110 had in fact a George Washington face, and his enunciation was loudly honest and decidedly nasal. Ho sat roasting his alternate sides in front of a red hot saloon stove, amid a party of hum mers who wore trying to out lie each Other. “ Tall.in, about lightnin’,” said lie, “ I reckon none o’ you lazzaroni was cver’struck, was you ? ” “ No.” “ Well I was. “Yes,-you see I was out sliootin’ prairie chickens in Elli noy last August, and there conio up the awfullcst thunder storm I ever seen in the whole course of my life. It rained cats and dogs, an’ the thun der rolled, and the forked lightnin' darted all over the skies like forked tongues. I got behind a haystack, that sorter leaned over to the south, and the fust thing I knowed the lightnin’ struck that and set it on fire. Then I moved to a walnut tree that stood near, and a double jointed holt ripped it to splinters. I moved to another tree, and the lightnin’ struck it. Then I begun to think it wanted me, an’ so I jest walked o'it, bumped up myself and took three or four of the heaviest chips I ever hear 1. It shuck me up right peer;, but beyond rippen the coat offen tr y hack, and I slittin one o’ my hoots from; top to | toe, it didn’t do me no particular damage.
