TIIE WRONG PASSENGER.
BY SHRILEY BROWNE.
“Halloo, Marvell ? Going out of town
eh ?”
It was a misty, snowy February night
the lamps in the depot shining like mur
ky stars, the ringing ot bells and
shouting of officials sounding preterna*
turally loud through the fog and the
tide of travelers rushing hither and
thither after tbe manner of excited voy
agers five minutes before the starting of
the train.
The gentleman thus debonnairly
addressed as “Marvell” was a handsome
six-footer with a furtrimmer cloak a
tasscled traveling eap ; . and a pair of very
bright brown eyes, just visible above
his wraps and mufflirgo.
“Oh ! it’s you is it Dixon V’ he re
torted with a genuine American hand
clasp.
“Yes, I'm going up the river to vis
it some of my cousins I’ve never seen be
fore.”
“Girls'?”
“Of course—do you suppose I’d en
counter a night-ride for any hulking son
of Adam ?”
“Lucky fellow ?” cried Dixon “Wish
it was me. But, good-by—my train is
just off!”
And darting away he was lost in the
fog.
While Mr- Harry Marvell, leisurely
taking his seat in the car, made such
preperations as were practicable, under
the circumstances- for a comfortable
journey.
“I suppese, of course, they’llbe at de
pot to meet me,” said he to himself.—
“And I dare say I shall like them very
much although they can’t be very young.
Tbreo of’em, too. Fancy me making
small talk to an elderly aunt and three
middle-aged maidens. Well, if the skat
ing is good, and there is game in the
woods, I can manage two da ; s without
dying of ennui.”
Thus cogitating, Mr. Marvell fell
fast asleep, and never awaked until the
conduction shook him by the shoul
der.
“Wanted to get out at Fair Oaks
didn’t you sir ?”
“Fair Oaks—yes !” our hero answer
ed, staggering to his feet and vaguely
rubbing his eyes.
“Here you are then! Look alive
sir !” shouted the conductor, swmging
his lamp about as if it were a magnified
will-o-the-wisp.
And Harry Marvell, half asleep found
himself standing staring on the plat
form, as the train glided slowly away
a moving lino of lights, with a mur
ky banner of fiery smoke floating above
it.
“Is it Har'y ?” demanded a sweet
feninine voice, close to him.
“ Harry it is,” he answered, prompt
h
“l’m Lottie 1”
“You’re Lottie, are you ?”
“And here’s Mamie—and Louise ?”
“Glad to see you, I’m sure,” said
Harry, shaking in turn the bands that
were offered to him, and beginning to
perceive by the station light that his
three cousins were very young very
dimpled and rosy and very pretty, and
that they wore distracting costumes of
blue velvet and for, with
g ay plumes in their hats, and flossy
yellow lockg, blown hither and thither
by the brisk winter winds, like woven
gold.
“Must have been some mistake about
their ages,” thought Harry as he allow o
ed himself to be deposited in a roomy
family sleigh, close to the bluexeyed girl
whom they called Louise.
“That’s right,” said Mamie, with a
giggle ; “set as close as you can—re
member you’re to be to-mmorrow night
Harry!”
“Married !” Our hero sat bolt upright
at these tidings. “Oh, come, now, you
are not in earnest ?”
“Yes, we are I” said Mamie.
“Dead in earnest,” added Lottie.
“It’s Leap Year,”said Mamie. “And
a bachelor like you mustn’t expect to
remain in the market long,” interposed
Lottie.
“Girls, don’t be goosies,” said Miss
Louise, as Harry Marvell was beginning
to feel uncomfortably. Harry don’t mind
’em. It’s only in the theatricals, you
know !”
“Oh !” said Harry. “The parlor thea
tricals, eh ?”
“Because Joe BaKour’i sister was
sick and he can’t take the part of tbe
bridegroom. And Lottie and I made
sure you would go for it. You can
commit to memory easily, can’t you V
“Lilk a house on fire,” said Harry
recklessly.
I think he’s getting to ho a regular
dandy,” said Mamie archly,
i “And his voice has changed too—
and he’s a little taller I think.” added
Lottie.
Harry began to experience a disa
greeable sense of something being radi
cally wrong. The buffalo robe sleigh
was delightfully comfortable—his pro
pinquityto tbe blue-eped thrush-voiced
Louise was luxurious in the extreme and
his two vis-vis were dangerously pretty
—but he began to feel like an impostor.
He felt that he was there under false
pretences. He was Harry, most un
doubtedly but he wasn’t the Harry !”
“I really must explain,” said ho to
himself —bui as he was picking out the
most suitable phrases to do so, sleigh
dashed up to a door, whose portals at
flew open displaying a ruddy gleam of
hospitable lights within, and a double
row of laces appeared.
“Mamma,” cried # Louise, “we’ve got
him ?”
Truth Conquers All Things.”
“Girls.” called out a pretty piump
matron in blach silk, with roses in her
cap, “he’s come!”
“ Who has come ?” piped Mamie,
jumping off the sleigh,
“Who Harry!”
“Of course he has come,” said Lottie.
‘ Isn’t he in here with us ? Make haste
Harry—the stewed oysters do smell so
good ”
“What are you talking about ?” cried
the mother. “He’s here playing crib,
bage with papa ! He got off an Monk
ville Station and took old Creeper's one
horse cutter across the hills. And but
dear me, who is that gentleman with
you ?”
Harry Marvell felt the necessity for
immediate explanation.
“ Madam,” said ho, taking off his
fur trimmed cap, “ I beg a thousand
pardons. Young ladies, allow me to
apologise for what is really not my
fault in particular. I begin to think I
am the wrong Harry. The three pretty
girls echoed a shriek in chorus.
“ You see,” went on our hero, plung
ing blindly into the midst of his sub
ject, “ I was to be met at the depot by
my three cousins, whom I never have
had tbe good fortune to meet before.—
And when you asked if I was Barry—
Harry St. John Marvell is my name,
attorney and counsellor at law, No. —
Spruce Court—l naturally concluded
that you three young ladies were the
three Miss Mellers, of Meller Cottage.”
“ No,” said Louise, half laughing,
half blushing, “ We are the three Miss
Effinghams. It’s an awkward mistake
all round, but in the mist and snow
and confusion I don’t see that any one
is to blame. Fray, come in, Mr. Maw
veil, and be introduced to papa and
mamma, and the real Harry.”
“ And Jacob,” added the plump ma
tron, calling to the coachman, “just
drive over to Meller Cottage, and tell
the Miss Mellers that the cousin they
expected from New York i3 here, and
will be with them to morrow morning.”
“ But, madam ” expostulated
Hairy.
“ Not a word, I beg,” said hospitable
Mrs. Effingham. “ Six miles further
in this storm is not to be thought of.”
And so Mr. Marvell submitted to a
kindly fate, and made himseifeminently
comfortable.
The ‘‘real Harry”—Mr. Bucknor
by name—proved to be a very jovial
fellow, and there was a gay company
assembled. When Miss Meller came
in the pony pliseton for her cousin the
next day, they were all rehearsing pri\
vate theatricals, Harry Marvell in the
thick of the fray.
The three Miss Mellers were tall,
middle-aged, and serious—quite a con
trast to the blue-eyed Effingham girls,
so that Harry Maivell sjent only one
day at the Cottage,after all.
And he has been up from New York
twice since, and he is always met at the
depot by Miss Louise Effingham, and
people do say there is to be a wedding
at the big house next June.
Perhaps. Who knows ?
Rustic Adornments.
An old fig-drum or a salt box can
be converted into a lovely hanging
basket by drilling holes in three places
to pass wires through and then nailing
upon the outside strips of bark, j ine
cones, or dry mosses; and you will pos
sess a rustic basket which can be sus
pended from the trees, porch or piazza
and will grow in beauty daily. If you
are so fortunate as to live in the vicin
ity of a sawmill or a tanyard, you can
easily procure mossy Orak or hemlock
bark, and these, mingled with the plia
ble stems of wild grape vines, will af
ford you rustic work which will be the
admiration of every one.
Take any old, shallow box of the di
mensions you may desire, or make one
that flares rut at the sides, and cover it
with strips cf bark joined neatly and
tightly nailed on Finish the top with
a str p of bark around the edge and
glue on moss here and there to give it
a pretty effect. Then use the grape
vines for handles, twisting two or three
of them together, and you will have a
handle ot nature’s own handwork, over
which you car twine vines, while in the
box can be planted all kinds of basket
plants—such as ivy, geraniums, varie
gated sweet alyssuui, tradescantia, mon
eywort, tropseo urns, etc.
Window boxes can be made to fit in
to &Dy window in thi3 manmer, and
when filled with charcoal at the bottom
and a rich sandy loam and planted
with bedding-out plants or anuuals—
like asters or balsams —they are a love
ly ornament fir months to come.
Beautiful hanging baskets can also
be made out of the bark aud grape vines
taking a square nit of bark lor the bot
tom of the ba ket, and building up the
sides, log cabia fashion, out of the pieces
of grape vine, sawed into equal lengths
and fastened strougly at the end with
with wire or shingle nails. A curved
piece of the vine can be made to do du
ty for a handle.
A discussion recently took place be
tween two friends on the eloquence ot a
deputy newly elected :
“He has talent,” said one; “but
when you hear him speak you feel con
vinced that he has no heart.”
“On the contrary”' replied the other,
“everythiig he says is spoken by
heart !”
Mr. J- C. Ayer, the patent medi

TIIE CENTENNIAL.
Brazil Tondiefl Up—Canada and
the West Indies—KiiighlsTem
plar aud Other Societies.
[From our Regular Gorrespondent 1
Philadelphia, June 12th, 1876.
“Dese am rudder libelv times rre’s a
habcen now !” remarked the sable gen
tleman who handed me my beef stake
aud onions tka other morning at the
Centennial Hotel, “de redder am fine
and dar’s a heap a people in town”—
aud he was right, for we have just pass
ed through a week of delightful weath
er, such as I have seldom seen even in
June. In genera! excitement it has
exceeded tbe droning week-, end 1 think
the number of visitors wiilnlmo3t equal
that very interest 1 ng occasion. Early
in tlie week the Knights Templar be
gan to pour in from every portion of the
country, and as they came not alone,
but in tho majority cf instances, those
who were lucky enough to have wives,
brought them along, while the fortunate
possessors of families ranging anywhera
from ova to eleven in number, were not
forgetful of their material obligations;
and brought the dear little cherubs to
eee the fun too, and as a natural conse
quence, this addition to our population,
as my colored friend remarked, “ made
tings rudder libeiy.” The events of the
past week have been numerous and im
portant, principal among which, were
the Decoration day—the convocation
of Knights Temp’ar —the meeting of
the Medical Society of Pennsylvania —
and the meeting of the Social Science
Association. In the closing portion of
this letter I shall briefly notice each of
these events, but trust I may be pardon
ed if I digress one moment to say a
word in behalf cf the Centennial
Committee. There are many excellent
people in and out of Philadelphia, just
now speculating on the fin ncial failure
of tie Centennial Exhibition, and who
are constantly informing the public of
this shortcoming, and that lamentable
oversight of the Centennial Committee
in not adopting their peculiar views—
and are frank enough to say what they
would have done if they were in the
committee's place; wretched scribblers
without brains enough to drive a second
class fish wagon, are constantly calling
in question the wisdom and policy of
the gentleman having charge of the
most gigantic undertaking of modern
times, and requiring an amount of fore
cast and judgment fully equal to the
government of a nation. .
It is barely possible that if the Uni
ted States had been raked with a fine
tooth comb, a few better men miglit
have been found for the position on the
Centennial Committee'than the gentle-
Cemun who now occupy them, but even
that is exceedingly doubtful. Human
wisdom has never been deemed infalli
ble, and in all probability never will be.
Even the Alurghty, whose judgement
is unerring, having made his last and
moit perfect work, man, in his own im
age and likeness, in a little while re
pented that he had made him. Is it to
be wondered at then, that there have
been some mistakes, some errors of
judgment, some shortcomings of per,
formanee ? Don’t look at these spots on
the sun ; look at the sun itself. Don’t
seek for what they have done, and if a
man’s judgement is not warped as a
ram’s horn, he must confess, without
any disparagement to the exhibitions of
other lands, that no grander exhibition
than this at Philadelphia has ever been
given cn the face of the globe.
Having relieved my mind, I will now
return to Brazil. On entering the pa>
villion erected by the Brazilian govern*
ment, nothing impresses you more
strongly than the lightness and elegance
of everything she exhibits. Spain looks
gloomy and foreboding. Brazil is light,
airy, beautiful. Near the door are
cases of costly books, admirable in
workmanship and rich in splendid bind.,
ing, rare contributions to science and
art, and worthy of the great nation
they represent. The show of cotton
goods and clothes is not up to the stand
ard of English manufactures, er of the
products of the loom in the United
States; still they have an abundance of
raw material, and under their present
wise and energetic ruler, will no doubt
avail themselves of the brains and mus
cle of other lands. The countries south
of Brazil have long been famous for
hides ; here we have the manufactured
leather, and it seems to me I have nev
er seen its superior. The exhibition of
manufactured articles of various kinds
is also exceedingly creditable, as also are
her numerous agricultural products of
coffee, sugar and grain, and give her a
status among the nations of the earth
for which the northern people were
scarcely prepared. But if Brazil were
twice as big and as rich as she is, we
could only afford to give ber a, passing
glance, for a greater than Brazil meets
you at every turn, a potentate by divine
right in the arena ot science and art,
an autocrat in philosophy, a fearless
apostle in religion, a daring demigod in
war, I refer to those dauntless ‘island
ers upon i7hose blood-red flag the sun
never sets, and whose reveille beat is
heard around world.”
I confess it fills me with admiration
which I find it difficult to express when
I see guouped in this comprehensive
mannei the grand production of Engl
and her Colonies. When I look at the
map of this, our mother land, and see
thp.tyou might drop that seagirt is e
within the limits of the State of New
York, and then have room to spare. I
say it fills me with admiration unspeak

Out what she seems to have a part in it.
The sea, the earth, the air, in every
land and every clime, ail are compelled
to pay her tribute. The contributionr
of a single colony are superior to that
of many nations ; and here hci children
are grouped around her so elos ly that
she resembles some little women I have
seen with exceedingly large families ;
and not by any means the smallest of
her blood relations, is the young gentle
man, Brother Jonathan, who is enter
taining her so royally to-day, and of
whom, no doubt, she feels as proud as
she does of the most favored of her
children. I have spoken of the magni
tude aud variety of her contributions.
In her African department you have as
tho spoils of her hunters, tire tusks of
the elephant, the skin of the springbok,
the hide of the hippopotamus, the feath
ers of the ostrich, no longer, however,
a wild denizen of the plains,but a usefui
domestic bird, raised in flocks like geese
or sheep, but yielding a richer tribute.
The agricultural contributions are sim
ply splendid, wheat, wine, wool, silk,
aud a multitude of things too numerous
to mention. Canada, too, looms up
grandly, a mighty child of a mighty
sire ; with suck elements of greatness as
she displays, one wonders that they have
not known more of it Defore. In agri
cultural machinery in particular she
has made a magnificent display, and I
should not bo at all astonished to hear
that she had borne off a great many of
the prizes. The West India Islands
send rich contributions of sugar, coffee,
dye-woods, and other sources of tropical
wealth. And right here is where you
estimate the power of England. Every
product from the equator to the pole is
exhibited in some of her departments.
No matter what any other nations puts
on exhibition, she is there to rival them,
lloam among the splendors of the art
gallery, and amid the congregaled gems
of genius from the world, are the stat
ues of Chautrj and the paintings of
Landseer, and the works of the multi
tude of grand apostles of art, who have
made her name immortal. But I feel
that space is running out, and must
devote what remains to the events of
the week. On Decoration Daf we had
a fine parade of the Posts of the Grand
Army of the Republic, who, in perform*
anee of a holy and sacred trust., went
out to decorate the graves of their dead
comrades, who died in defence of the
of the Union. One of the gratifying
features of the procession was the trib
ute paid to the Confederate aead. Let
the weeping mothers and sisters, and
widows who wait in vain for the coming
of those who long years ago went out
to do battle for the stars and bars. Let
their grief be softened and thGir hearts
cheered to know that the graves of their
loved ones are not forgotten, but that
kindly at and loving hands with each re*
turning year scatters beautiful flowers
over them, even as they do over the
graves of their own heroic dead. The
procession was very imposing. In the
reunion speeches no allusion was made
that could hurt the most patriotic feel
ings of those so lately opposed to them ;
and seeing the graceful tributes paid by
brave men to those who were cnee their
foes, I could not help believing that
this was indeed a year of jubilee and
peace. The procession of Knignts Tem
plar, on June the first, was simply grand.
They began to invade the city early in
the week, they came from every State
in the Union,and such a welcome as they
received has hardly been seen in the
present generation, never before at the
reception of any * organization have I
witnessed such enthusiasm. Such a
cordial and hearty greeting; not only
hotels and public halls were placed at
the disposal of the Sir Knights, but
private houses flung their portals wide,
and the whole city seemed overflowing
with the most lavish and generous hos
pitality. Here was no North or South,
East or West, no divisional lines, no or
thodox distinctions; butone grand ho
mogeneous family, bound together by
the sacred ties of charity, acknowledg
ing the universal brotherhood of man,
the universal father hood of God. The
procession formed on Broad Street, and
was at once grand and imposing. Em
bracing many thousands of tho mystic
brotherhood. In the afternoon their
officers were installed, and in the even
ing there was an immense reception at
the Academy of Music, at which the
most distinguished people of the State
were present. The Soeiety for the ad
vancement of Social Science has had a
meat interesting series of meetings, at
which were present distinguished savans
from all portions of the country. The
Medical Society of Pennsylvania has al
so had an interesting session, at which
considerable feeling was manifested at
the admission of some Homoeopathic
practitioners into one of our public in-
Rates of Advertising.

Kept Firm Hold of the Recipe.
The Detroit Free Press says : Fif
ty years old of a day, and her name is
Eliza Fox. She lives on National Av
enue, and she made a trip to the east
ern portion of the city to get a recipe
for making cake. She got the recipe,
got some beer, got in the station, and
she wasn’t half as anxious about her
case as some of her audience. She slow
ly followed Bijuh about, musing:
“Use about a pint of flour, put in a
chunk of butter about as largo as a
walnut, and break in "
“Now, then,” interrupted his honor,
“this looks bad to see a woman of your
age here.”
“Well, I had some beer,” she softly
replied, “and break in four eggs, grato
in your lemon peel, stir well, aud bake
in a hot oven.”
“What have you to say about this
case ?” asked the court.
“Nothing. You can do all the talk
ing—quart ot flour—four eggs—lemon
peel—nutmeg—hot oven.”
“You were never here before ?”
“I don’t think I ever was —Will you
take a recipe down for me before I lbi>
get it ?”
“I’ve got a recipe for ending drunk-,
enness,” replied his honor.
“I don’t want it y and after the caku
has baked fifteen minutes remove from
the oven and put on your frosting.”
„_.“Do you want to go to the house of
correction ?” queried the court.
“No, sir, I don’t. What do I want
to go tramping away up there for?’*
“But were you so sadly intoxicated
that the officer had to hire an express
wagon to bring you down here ?”
“Is that so ? Then I came here by
express, did I ? Was I packed up iu a
box ?”
“You must be very easeful in future'.
It is a bad thing for a woman to get
drunk.”
“No worse than ’tis for a man j and
after the frosting is on, let the eak
bake in the oven for three 0® four min
utes.”
“Will you promise me ?” said the
court.
“Yes, I’ll promise L” she angrily ox.
claimed, “but I wish you wouldn’t talk
so much—you put me all out !”
She stood off and glarednat his hon*
or, and then tapping her finger at the
railing continued :
“ You take about a quart of flour—
about a quart. You put in a hunk of
butter about as big as a walnut, and you
break in three or four——
“You may break out,” said tbft
court.
“Well, I will. I want to get some*
whore where I can write down the rec
ipe before I forget it.”
She pushed her way through the
crowd to the door, and as slro stepped
out she was heard muttering :
“Qutart of flour—four eggs—five*
minutes.”
Beautiful Allegories—A travel
ler, who spent some time in Turkey re*
lates a beautifnl parable which was told
him by a dervish and which seems even
more beautiful than Sterroe’s celebrated
figure of the accusing spirits and re
cording angel.
“Every man,” said the dervish, “has ■
two angels— one on his right ehouldnr'
and one on bis left. When he does
anything good the angel on the right
shoulder writes it down and seals it, be-' 1
cause what has been done is done for
ever. When ho does anything evil the
angMon his left shoulder writes down
but waits rill midnight. If before that
time the man bowa his head and ex-,
claims, “Gragions Allah! I havosiu-*
ned—forgixe me ?” he rubs out the re„
corn : but if not at midnight he seals
it and the angel on tho rignt sheukle® -
weeps.”
