ET MARHIAC Mary Gralium was a pretty girl of .sixteen, and William Trueman, her Inter, who was throe years her senior, was a fine, manly fellow for nis age. Their fathers were partners in a vil lage hardware store, where William was employed as a clerk. Occasion- ally lie was allowed a vacation, dur ing which lie would pass many pleas ant hours with Miss Graham. She would aocotnpany with a sister,' on sailing exclusions along the Delaware coast, iu a (mat owned by the young man. His residence was situated near tile sea shore, not far from Cape Henl-'pcii. The hardware store was in a village half a utile back from the eo.S'. and there was also Mary’s (lie lovers lea red that Mary’s father woe Id foice her to except the attentions of a certain retired, wealthy old merchant named Roger Brons m, who sometimes called upon linn, aud who seemed to Imvo taken a liking to the girl. This Bronaor. was distantly related to William Trueman, the latter’s mother having heel) Ids third cousin. i'lic lovers finally resolved, after talking over their prospects, that they would go off down the river in William’s hoat and get married without their patents' knowledge. Therefore, as shown above, Mary bud agreed “to be there” at six o’clock on the morrow.” Timid and blushing. Im none the less firm in Iter purpose, Mary came at me appointed time. William helped her into the boat; then he unrolled his sale and away lie went with his intended prize. It "’(is a dark, cloudy afternoon. As die two sailed oil. a terrific gale suddenly hurst upon them from me direction of the land, driving the •mat from the coast. The sail wh* torn and blown away before William could roll up his can vas and lake down Ins mam. He •-•dllId only keep Hie boat’s head to sea and let her rush on. Darkness at lung'll fell upon the stormy sea, with no uhatiug of the tempest. ■' In the distance William saw the light of u vessel, hut he had tin hope of ruaciiing it, as it seemed to recede from him. Bui after a time the light of die distant vessel seemed to approach. “ Wo may he picked up,” he said to Mary. ‘•Tlia* cruft is coming this wav.” As he spoke a wave, more violent than anv which iiad proceeded it, struck tlie boat, hurling it sidewuys, with a suddenness which caused the youth to lose his balance. He fell overbourd, trying to clutch the ster.1 as he went, hut id vain. A minute later the boat shot out of sight in the darkness, and thore he was. struggling in the wild sea. He was an excellent swimmer, but he must eventually have perished in the raging waters iiad he not caught hoid of the boat’s mast, which had be.en swept from the craft by the toirentof water that had fashed over the ffnmrule when he fell into the ocean. For u long time ho clung to the spur, thinking more of Mary, howev er, than of himself. Left alone in that drifting boat, she might, lie feared, bo uaable to keep its head to the sea^ although her position was such that she could easily work the liller. The “sea” had gone down a little since the change of wind, but there was still danger of the boat’s being swamped unless it was carefully managed. William kept liis gaze upon the vessel’s light which had previously been approaching. Tins, now, was moving along in another direction, It passed him at too great a distance for him to make himself heard by shouting. „ . 4 , . * Hunts went by. The gale had abated, and the m •on had for some time been shining from u clear skv. William noticed he was now drift ing towards the coast. He saw tlie sail of a fishing smack coming out fiom the capo in the distance. Standing along, first on one tack and then on the oilier, it finally drew near enough for him to make himself heard by the crew. He was picked up, and lie persua ded the men to cruise in search of nis boat. It was found at last, turned bottom upward am! empty. “I thought so!” groaned the youth. “Mary is lust!” Dawn was come 1 lie fishermen took the young man to land, lie hurried home, aud frankly described what had happened to his father. “Foolish boy!” cried the lattor. “What have you done? There was not the slightest necessity for your attempt to get married without the knowlege of Mr. Graham and my sell We both vhould have approved of the match. We knew, or at least inferred that you liked each other, although we were not sure that you were lovers. “But we have often talked ubout you by ourselves, und said we hoped you and- Mary would conclude to marry each oti er. “I will also now tell yon a secret Uogei Bronson, your eccentric old relative, liked Mary so well—had so high an opinion of her—that hoi too. hoped you would choose her in pref totenco to any other young woman fur a wifo.” No, no; it cannot be.” said William. Liu wanted her him self.” “ You arc entirely mistaken. And now l will tell you wliut he informed Mr. Graham and me he meant to do for you if you married Mu- ry.” For me?” Yes. He intended to make you a present of ten thousand dollars on the day you becumu her husband'” How I have misjudged him! Whv—oil, why!—did you not tell me all tiiis before? Had I known it, my.Mury would have br-ou spared tome!” As Roger Bronson, lie charged me to say iio’ihing to you ubout Ins oenevoleiit intention, for he did not want to have milucuced in any way. Of course, he did not know your character or he would never have been afrutd that you could bo bribed into marrying the young lady. Nevertheless, as he wished me to keep his secret, I have felt obliged to do so np to the present time. Now, as the poor girl is lost, there is no longer, in my opinion, any reason why you should not learn the tiutli. Neither Mr. Gralium, uor myself wished, under the circum stances, to say anything that might have the slightest effect upon either your choice or Mary’s. We there fore never praised or recommended otie of you to the other. We wished to leave you entirely to your inclina tions.” William’s feelings, on hearing these statements, may be imagined. His grief was ulrnost beyond endur ance. The fact that iiis attempt at a sec ret marriage, which had brought about tho unfortunate occurrence, had been wholly unnecessary, added to the torments ho suffered. His father endcuvored to soothe him, but for hours lie paced tho floor of his room like a madmun, refusing all offers of consolation. Finally Mr. Trueman Said: “We must break tho sad news to Mary’s father. Will you come with me?” The young man snatched his hut, sud the two hurried to Mr. Graham's house. They found him at home, and they at once told tho story. They wore uiiiuzed at tho culm muntiur in which ho received the gloom tidings. He took a pinch of snuff, sneezed, and then bade the two follow him up stairs. They did so. lie led them straight to Mary’s room, and there, on the couch, lay the young girl, pule and weak still, but recovering from the effect of her excitement aud suffer- ing. A doctor wus by her side, and William almost knocked him over in ins haste to embrace tho fair oue lie hud thought was lost to him for ever. Mary had heard of her lover’s res cue from some fishermen who had come to Mr. tiraiiam’s house to in form him of wiiat had happened. . She had been picked up, hours before lie wus saved, by the vessel whose light lie had seen. The craft had passed close to . the boat. She contrived to make her voice heard and us the moon was then shining, she was finally seen by the sailors. Tho bout being half full of water, had turned over, bottoip up, soon after she hud loft tho tiller to got nto tho dingey which hud been lowered for her. She then begged lie men not to lose time by stopping to tow the heavy overturned boat to their sciioou, but to gel aboard as soon as possible und look for her lover. Their search for him was in vain. They took Mary to land. She hired a conveyance, and she roaclisd hot father’s house soon after midnight. Her excitement—her anguish at William’s supposed loss—inudo her so ill that a drotor was sunt for. The nows, not long after, of her lover’s sutoty probably honefitted her more than did tho meumino pres cribed for her. The affair ended to the saiisfnction of all concerned whan, a fow weeks later, the lovers wero united at the house of the brido’s father. Good Roger Bronson was there, and Ins present to the bridegroom was a cheek for the promised ten oinmint-iftollttrai Tlie couple are happy, ' but they will not soon forget llieir perilous experience in their needless attempt at secret wedlock.. Young nersnho would marry without the knowledge of their pa rents should remember ilial such a Course is apt to be attended with more sorrow than pleasure, and, us in the case of Mary Graham and William Truemun. it. is olteii “mine eessary.”—Rufus Iiale, in Now York Ledger Win* Pays the Taxes. Wo often hear laboring men con gratulate themselves that they pay no taxes. And yet the poor fellows don’t know enough to comprehend- the fact that labor pays all taxes. The house owner may pay a taxon the house which he rents to the la borer, but lie includes tho tux iu the price of the rent. The stoiekpopcr may pay a tax to the State, but he charges it up in tho price of goods lie sells to the labor er. The bunker may pay a tax to the' government, but he covers it in his rules of interest. This rate of in-' tcrest, he may not get direct from tho laborer, for the laborer soldom borrows money from a banker. Per 1 haps tho banker loans it to the gro- cerymau, who, in turn, churges it up in the price of the groceries which be soils to the laboror. The idea was ongc well illustrated on u sign which hung ovci the door of a Loudon inn. It represented four men standing upon each other’ shoulders. At the top stood the* king, and on his breast was the legend, “I govern all.” Under him was tho soldier, and on his breast was the motto, “1 fight for all.” Noxt to him the clergyman, upon whose breast wero tho words, “1 pruy for all.” At the bottom stood tho laborer, ovory nerve strained to support his tremendous burden, and on his breast was written, “I pay for all.” And so it is, always lias been and alwuys will bo. “Don’t fool yourselves, ol, delvore in the soil, tho workshop and the mines, that yon pay no taxes simply because tho lux-gutheror does not come around to you in person and demand taxes. In some way the government gots its hand into the laborer’s pocket and from thence takes all the taxes that uro colleotcd. —Record. Dietetic Fallacies.

Biwf tea and gelatine, howevor, possess a certain reparative power, wo know not what. That an egg is equal to a pound of meat, anil that every sick person can out eggs.

It is, tis a rule, contra indi cated, being usually indigestible; but it is concentrated nutriment, ami a waste repairer, and often craved. That tlie cravings of a patient arc whims, and should be denied. Titc stomach often needs, craves for, and digests articles not laid down in any dietary. Such are, for oxumplo, fruit, pickles, jams, cako, ham or bacon with fat, cheese, butter and milk. That an inflexible diet may bo marked cut, which shall apply to every case.

Increased quantity of food, especially of liquids, does not mean increased nutriment, rather decrease, since tho digestion is overtaxed and weakened. Strive to give tho food in as concent rated a form as possi ble. Consult the patient’* stomach in preference to his cravings; and if tlie stomach rejects a certain arti cle, do not force it.—Journal of Re construct ives. Small Manupa(ti/hk!18, What They Will do for a Town.—Small enterprises, with three to ten thous and dollars capital invested in Ihcni, give much life and business activity to a town und pay much larger divi dends than if the money was invest ed in mercantile enterprises. ITe know of a shoo .factor/ in Gainesville, Ga., which is operating with less titan *‘1,000 capital. It furnishes employment to about twenty hands, uiul turns out one hundred und fifty pairs of shoes a day. Tho two proprietors uro foremen of the establishment; making Imndsbmo wages for themselves, and somi- annually declare u dividend of from 15 to 20 per ceut. Their shoes aie cry popnlar and are sold in neat ly every town in Georgia and Ala bama. A match factory in tho same place with an $',000 investment furnished work for 40 hands, and paid a splend id interest. A barrel hoop factory at tho same place is doing well. A man at Bufoid, Ga,, who can not walk and is terribly deformed has made 25,000 in tho past ten years by iminuructunng saddle trees and shipping them to Northern markets. He lias now opened up a now enterprise, and is shipping han dles for baggy and wagon whips to tlie North in immense quant ides. A factory at Henderson, Ga., sells not less than *10,000 worth of,spokes and handles annually. Tho chair factory at Marietta., Ga., is known all over tho.SiuUliern SS’.ates, and Ima made its originators noli then. A paper factory at the snnuj. ,place has never known a day of depi^aioii, and its.products avo sold all over tho Sooth. H'p could multiply such cases in definitely.
