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 cine man, has lost his reason and gone to the asvlum. 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 able, when I see the wonders she has achieved in every department of human In Advance. knowledge. She meets you everywhere —go into the machinery department and her engines are among the finest and most substantial ever made by hu man hands—iu cotton goods she has no superior in the world, and it is esteem ed no small compliment to stand her equal on any of the marts of commerce; in silk she rivals the looms of Lyons ; in carpets she is almost without a peer; in cutlery she is master o 4 *' the situation; in silverware she need not fear to go into competition with the artieans of any land, and in the million and one kinds of small items that go to make up the world. >She displays an activity, and grasp that is marvellous to behold Go where you will in any of the depart amnts and there you see on great flags, Groat Britain and Ireland, Colonies, or Colonial dependencies, and when taken together there is nothing that man pro duces, or secures by his labor or his genius ; his courage or his perseverance 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.

Broadbrim, 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 ?
