'Minnie Harlan was alono in tho
world, hor motiier just buried.
She was a beautiful brown-haired
girl, with soft, shy eyes of violet
gray; and rosy lips compressed to
a firmness far beyond tier years.
For alter all slio was scarcely sov-
entpen, and bo Deacon Qiay was
telling her as lie sat by the fire
spreading Ids huge hands over the
lihzc, and asked- abruptly: “IJtit
What arc you going to do to earn
your bread an’ butter, my child?”
‘.jl don’t know—I have thought
—mamma bad an uncle living in
Now York, who—”
"Yes, yes—I’ve heerd tell about
hinfr—lie was mod cause your moth
er .didn’t marry just exactly to suit
lilOL wasn’t lie ?”
Minnie was silent. Deacon G uy
waited a few minutes, hoping site
wohld admit him to her secret med
itations, but she did not, and the
dcMnn went away home to tell bis
wife “thnt Harlan girl was tho very
queerest crcctur he had ever come
across.”
In the meantime Minnie was busy
packing her scanty tilings into her
enrpet bag, by the weird, flickering
light of tho dying wood lire.
and proparing to closo tho ofllco,”
said Minnie, starting nervously tc
hor feet, “I must go somewhere.”
“Miss Harlan,” said Frank, “my
homo is a very poor one—I am
only a flve-hiindrcd dollar clerk—
but I am sure my mother will re
ceive you under licr 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 shall be so
thankful.”
“‘I will go to New York,” she
nig to herself, setting her pearly
teeth together.,
“My mother's uncle shall hear
my cause pleaded through my own
lips: Oh, I wisli my heart would
not throb so wildly! I am an or
phan all alone in the world, who
must fight life's battles with her
own single bands.”

It lias become a household
remedy in many families iu the
city, where it is best known.
It is withal, pleasant to ta/re,
so much so thnt children take it
cheerfully, afterwards fiequent-
Lowor Broadway at 1 o’clock in
tbo evening. Wliat a babul of crash
ing wheels, hurrying humanity and
conglomerate noises it was.
Minnie Harlan sat in. the corner
of an express oftice, under the flare
of gaslight, surrounded by boxes,
a id wondered whether people ever
went crazy in this perpetual din
and tumult. Her dress was very
plain—gray poplin, with a shabby,
o'lLftisbioned little straw bonnet
ticlrwitb.black ribbons, and>a blue
veil, while her only article of bag
gage, the carpet-bag, lay in her lap.
She had sat there two hours, and
was very tired.
“Poor little thing,” thought the
dark-lmired young elevk nearest
tier, who inhabited a sort of wire
cage under a circlet of gas lights,
and then took up his pan and
plunged into u perfect Atlantic
ocean of accounts.
“Mr. Evans.”
“Sir ?”
The dark-lmired clerk emerged
from his cage with his pen behind
his car, in obedience to the beckon-
ing finger of Ills superior.
“! have noticed tlmt young wo-
man sitting there for some time—
how came she here?”
“Expressed on from Millington,
Iowa. Arrived this afternoon.”
As though poor Minnie were a
box or a paper parcel.
“Who for ?”
“Consigned lo Walter Harring
ton, Esq.”
“And wliv hasn’t she been called
for ?”
"I sent up to Harrington’s ad
dress to notify him smnu time ago,
and am expecting an answer every
moment.”
“Very, odd,” said the gray hair
ed gentleman, again taking np his
newspaper.
Some llircc-qunrtei-s of an hour
afterward, Frank Evans came to
the pale girl’s side, with indescrib
able pity in his hazel eyes.
“Miss Harlan, we have sent to
Mr. Harrington’s residence—”
Minnie looked up with n feverish
red upon her cheek, and her hand
clasped tightly on the handle of the
laded carpet hag.
“And wo regret to inform you
tlmt he sailed for Europe at 12
o’clock this day.”
A sudden blur came over Min
nie’s eyes—siie trembled like a leaf.
Frank Evans bad been turning
away, but something in the piteous
tones of her voice appealed to eve
ry manly instinct within him.
“Shall I send to any other of
your (riends ?”
“I have no friends.”
“I’erbnp* I can’ have your tilings
sent to some quiet family hotel ?”
"How late you are, Frank! Here
—give me your overcoat—It i» all
powdered with snow, and—”
But Frank interrupted his bust
ling, ciicny-cbcckcd littlo niotlur,
as site stood on tip-toe to tako olf
bis outer wrappings.
“Hush, mother, there is a young
lady down stairs.”
“A young lady, Frank?"
“Yes, mother, expressed on from
Iowa to old Harrington, the rich
merchant. He sailed tor Europe
this morning, and she is left entire
ly alone. Mother, slid looks like
poor Blanche, and I know you
wouldn't vcfnso her a corner until
she could find something to do.”
•Mrs. Evaiiswent to the door nnd
called cheerfully out:
“Como up stnlrs, my dear, you're
ns welcome ns a flower in May!
Frank, you did quite right; you nl-
ivays do so."
The days nnd weeks passed on,
nnd still Minnie Harlan remained
nn inmate of Mrs. Evans’ humble
dwelling.
n .'t seems just ns though site bad
taken our dead Blanche's place,”
said the oozy little widow; “and
she is so useful about tho house. 1
don’t know bow I ever managed
without her. Now, Minnie,you’re
not in eurncst about leaving us to
morrow?”
“I must, dear Mrs. Evnns. On
ly think—I have Veen here mi s’,
two months to-morrow, and the
situation as governess is advan
tngcous.”
“Very well, I shall tell Frank
bow obstinate you arc.”
“DearestJMrf.Evnn^plotsodon’t.
Please keep my secret.”
“ Wliat secret is it tlmt is to be so
religiously kept?” asked Mr. Frank
Evans, coolly walking into the
midst of the discussion, with bis
dark hair tossed nbout by the wind,
end bis hazel brown eyes sparkling
archly
“Secret!” repented Mrs. Evnns,
energetically wiping her dim spec
tacle glass, “Why, Minnie is de
termined to leave ns to-morrow.”
“I inns’,Frank. I have no right to
further trespass on your kind
ness." , ,
“No right, cli, Minnie; do you
know tlmt this old house lias been
a different placo since you came
into it? Do vou suppose wc want
to loso our little sunbeam?”
.Minnie smiled saillv, but her
linnil felt very cold and passive in
Frank’s warm grasp.
“You’ll stay Minnie?”
“No.”"
She shook hor head delcrmined-
ly.
“Then you must bo made to
stay,” said Frank. "I'vo missed
something ol great value lately,nnd
I hereby arrest you on suspicion of
being the thief.”
“Missed something?”
Minnie rose, turning red and
white.
“0, Frank, you can never sus
pect me!”
“But I do suspect you. In fact,
I am quite sure that article is in
your possession.”
“The article!”
“My heart, Miss Minnie. I know
Hint I am very young and very
poor, but I love you, Minn'o Har
lan, and I will be a good husband
to you. Stay and be my little
wife!"
So Minnie Harlan instead of go
ing out as a governess, according
to the programme, married the
young, dark haired clerk in Elli
son’s express office, New York.
They were very quietly married
early in the m iru'isg, nnd Frank
took Minnio in nn- to his mother,
and then Wulit calmly about bis
business in the wire cage under
the circlet of the gas-lights.
“Evans!"
“Yes sir.”
Frank witli bis pen behind bis
ntive left me.”
“AM but, sir,” said Frank, “you
cannot have her.”
"Cannot have her! What do you
menu? Has aoything happened?”
“Yes, sir; something has happen*
ed; Mi* 8 Minnie was 'married to me
this morning.”
Waller Harrington stared.
“Take me toiler,” lie said hoarse
ly, “X can’t ho parted from my on.
ly living relative for a more whim.”
“I wonder if he calls tho mar-
ri'ige si rviuo a more wliim.'’thouszht
honest Frank; but he obeyed in si
lence.
Frank Evans is an express clerk
no longer, nnd pretty Minnie moves
in velvets nnd diamonds; but they
are quito its happy as they were in
the old days, th-1 is saying enough.
Uncle Walter Harrington grows
older nnd feebler every day, and
bis two children nra the sunshine
of liis declining life.
A City of Lambent Light.
The city of Aurora, III., forty
miles west of Chicago, aflbrds a
striking spectacle of the revolution
in lighting cities by tho elcctrio
tower pin". At night the city is
bathed in a flood of lambcrt light,
nnd her citizens arc in a state of
delighted enthusiusm over the
splendid practical results achieved.
The system consists of six elect no
towers, made of iron rods and. net
work, each 150 feet high. These
nra crowned with electric lamps of
2,000 caudle power each, or cqeal
to 125 gas jets. The cost complete
for each tower nnd apparatus is
nbout $1,000. Ono electric tower
lamp, fed liy soft coal at $3 per ton,
gives a 2,000 candle light at 2J c.
per hour, a ratio of 2) to 50 com
pared to n corresponding use of
gas light. The people of Aurora
are universally jubilant over tile
result of the adoption of the new
system, and express the most cam*
est nnd complete satisfaction with
the Brush tower plan in ail its bear
ings nnd aspects.
Men of Grit.
Tlio large majority of men do
not use a titho of the power they
possess. Their talents are mostly
in n nupkli). Ono of the wealthiest
men in Wall street to-day, broke
down in. business a good many
years ago. He went into an office
where ho was well acquainted, and
said to a member of the Arm that
be bad no bread-for Ids family. “I
am ready to go messages for you,
or perform any other service.”
He bung up Ids coat and com
menced work around ' the lowest
round of tho ladder. Previously,
this man’s cheek was accepted any
where on the streot. You may bo
sure such a man gradually mount
ed up.
Over in Boston a like minded
mnn fell out. Ho was without
bread, and soon would be without
shoes unless lie wakened up and stir-
red Ids energies, lie was book
keeper, and at ono tima earned u
handsome salary. What did- be
do? Tills ho did. He took a cot
ton hook and went down to load and
unload cotton at so much nn hour.
Behold another tnnn with grit.
The owners of the cotton and tho
ship eyed tins hero. Soon tho de
cree went forth: Como up highor.
Ho resumed tho quill and laid by
the cotton hook. Discouragement
never weakened the Boston lioy.
Whiners with hanging lips and
chicken hearts, who cure their
troubles witii tiio bottle or tho pis
tol, are pitiful creatures, who
should never have been born.

A question or Mileage.
Jones held an execution against
a farmer, and when lie called for
a settlement the agriculturalist
took him out into a big pnstiira
and pointed out a wild steer as tbo
particular piece of property to bo
levied upon. Jones chased the
steer around for a while, and then
sat down, and taking out bis book
began to write.
“What are ycu doing there?"
asked the granger.
“Charging mileage,” replied the
constable without looking np.
“Do I have it all to pay?" gasp
ed the rancher.
“You bet.”
“Then take this tame heifer here. <
I can’t have any such game ns
