May 18-1 y T0NS0RIAL EMPORIUM I HENRY ANDERSON '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.” Americus, Georgia. ii. j,., .. „ . nl !• better r ._ r rto wait upon Ills tuatouicn.

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. MIX FI10.11 HI® ASHES.

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 tlmt.” The W rrentan Clipper remarks that Rev.
