CASH. BY YARD STICK. ? _ "Well met, Old Stumps! now goes tho ?world With you and yours to day ? I note your hat-brim upward cur'wi The ante-bellum way. Your shirt looks white, your boots look black, And you-you roll in fat, by Jack!" "Just so. Cid Tape, I thrive, thank God! Through grace of Granger Times; I drive my plow deep down tho sod, And turn out honest dimes. I've put some licks in hard and brash, And bought and sold, of late, for cash." "Now, by tho Piper, Stumps, you're grand! I never saw such chango ; And this-all this-I understand Comes through your County Grange. 'You plow and sow and reap the same, Rut buy and sell for-what's its name?" ' ? "Cash! that's its name. I sell my truck At rnliug market rates, And got tho Cash-and through such luck Keep oil' your cussed slates. I have no u%e for banks, in linc, And want no July-bills in minc." " Excuse me, Stumps; I don't yet know Prcciselv- what yen mean ; I'm somewhat stupid now and slow Mayhap a little green. I can't quite comprehend, you sec, Exactly wha?rlhis Cash may bc." """Why money, man, good money down, A real >jaid pro quo I wotdd not trust a man in town . For anything I grow; Rut make him draw his weasel-skin And plank mc down thccold, hard 'tin.'

Marian Harlan was alone in ike world-her mother just buried. She was a beautiful, brown-haired girl, with, soft shy eyes of violet gray, and rosy lips compressed to a firm ness beyond her years. For after all she was scarcely seventeen, and so Deacon Gray was telling her, as she sat by thc fire, spreading his huge bauds over the lardy blaze, and asked : " But what are you goin' to do tc earn your bread and butter, child?" " I don't know-I haven't thought. Mamma had an uncle in New York, who-" " Yes, yes-I've heaid about hin: -he was mad because your mother didn't marry just exactly to suit him wasn't it?" Marian was silent. Deacon Gray waited a fe? minute?, hoping she would admit him into her secret medications; but she did not, and th? deacon went away home, 1 tell his wife that " the Harlan gal was the very queerest creature he ever had crane across." In the meanwhile Marian was bu sy packing her few scanty .things into a little^carpet-bag, by the weird flickering light of the dying wood fire." "*i wi I i go lo New York, she said to herself, setting Jiov small pearly teeth firmly together. " My mother's uncle shall hear my cause pleaded .through my own lip;;. Oh, I wish my heart would not throb so wildly ! I am no longer meek Marian Harlan, I am an orphan, all alone in thc world, who must fight life's battles with her own single hands." Lower Broadway, at 7 o'clock in the evening ! What a Babel of crash ingwheels, huirying humanity, aid conglomerate noises it was ! Marian Harlan sat in the corner of an cw press office under the liare of gas light, surrounded by boxes, and won dered whether people ever went craz ed in this perpetual diu and tumult. Her dress was very plain-gray pop. lin, with a shabby, old-fashioned lit tle straw bonnet tied with black ribbons, and a blue veil, with her on ly article of baggage, the carpet bag, lay in her lap. She had Bat there two hours, and. -w?;s very, very fred.. "Poorlittle thing!" thought the dark-haired young clerk nearest her. who inhabited a sort of wire cago under a circlet of gaslights. And then he took up his pen and plunged into a perfect Atlantic ocean of ac counts. "Mr. Evans." " Sir." The dark-haired clerk emerged from his cage with his pen behind his ear, in obedience to tho beckon ing finger cf his superior. I have noticed that young woman sitting herc for sometime-how came she here ?" " Expressed on sir, from Mill ington, Iowa-arrived this after noon." As though, poor Marian Harlan were a box or a paper parcel. " Who for ?" "Consigned to Walter Harring ton, Esq." "And why hasn't she been called for ?" "I sent np to Mr. Harrington's address to notify him some lime ago ; I expect an answer every mo ment." " Very odd," said thc gray-haired gentleman taking up his newspaper. "Yes, sir, rather." Some three-quarters of an hour af terward, Frank Evan3 came to the pale girl's side with indescribable pity in his hazel eyes. "Miss Harlan, we have sent to Mr. Harrington's residence-" < Marian looked up with a feverish red upon her cheek, and lur hands clasped tightly on' the handle of the faded carpet-bag. "And we regret to inform yon th.'.l he sailed for Europe at twelve o'clock this day." A sudden- iii ur came over Mfoffari's eyes-she trembled, like. ? In ?il her calculations: she, mule no allowance for an weeney like ?- ic . . .. '.? ii;.':;, - . as. ... " Can we do anything further- for you?" questioned the young"clerl politely. " Nothing-no one can do anythin now !" Frank Evans had been turnin away, but something in the piteoi tones of her voice appeared to arou? every manly instinct within him. " Shall I send to auy other of yo1, friends ?" " I have no friends." " Perhaps I can have your thin] sent to some quiet family hoteLJB?l Marian opened ber lillie leath purse and showed him two te'a-ce: pieces, with a smile that was almo a tear. " This is all the money. I haye : the world, sir !" So young, so beautiful and. so dc o?ate ! Frank Evans had boen a Ne Yorker all his life but he had nev m?t with an exactly parallel case this. He Ht the end of his.pen dire perplexity. "Eut what are y< going to do ?" " I don't know s; Isn't there a work house, or some sn place I can go to until I could fi] something to do?" Hardly, Frank Eva^scould scare ly help smiling at poor Marian's sii plicity. They are putting out the ligli a id preparing io close the office, sa Mirian, starling nervously to li feet. " I must go-somewhere.'' " Miss Harlan," said Frank, quic ly, my home is a very poor one am on;/ a five hundred dollar clci -btv I am sure my mother will r ceive you under her roof for a di or two, if you can trust me." "Trust you?" Marian looked : him through violet eyes obscured : tears. " Oh sir, I should be so than] fal !" * * * * * " How late you are, Frank ! He; -give me your overcoat-it is a powdered with snow and-" Bat Frank interrupter, his bus lirig, cherry-cheeked little mother, ; she .-teed tip-toe to take off his out* wrappings. "Hush, mother; there is a your lady down stairs." " iWyoung lady, Frank?"

"Now, Mirian, you are not i earnest about leaving us to-morrow ? " I must, dear Mrs. Evans. Onl think -I have been here two month to-morrow, and the situation of gov arness is very advantageous." "Very weil. I shall tell Frau! how obstinate you aro." " Dearest Mrs. Evans, please don'l Please keep my Beeret." " What secret is that that is to b so religiously 'kept-'" asked Mr Frank Evans, cooly walking into tin midst of thc discussion, with his dari hair tossed about Ly the wind anc his hazel brown eyes sparkling archly " Secret !" repeated Mrs. Evans energetically wiping her dim specta cle glasses. " Why, Marian is deter mined to leave us to-morrow !" " Marian !" "I must, Frank; I have no right further To tresspass/ on your kind ness." " NJ right, eh ? Marian, do -you know that the old house has beena different house since you came to it? Do you suppose we want to lose our little sunbeam." Marian smiled sadly, Luther hand felt very cold and passive in Frank's warm grasp. " You'll stay, Marian?" "No." She shook her head determinedly. " Then you must be made to stay," said Frank. " I've missed some thing ot' great value lately, and I hereby arrest you on suspicion of the theft !" " Missed something ?" Marian rose, turned red and white. " Oh, Frank, you can never $us peet me!" C " But I do suspect you. In fact, I am quite sure the article is in your possession." " The article !,: " My heart, Miss Marian. Now look here-I know I am very young and very poor, but I love you Marian Hurlan, and I will Le a good and true husband to you. Stay and be my little wife !" So Marian Harlan, instead of go ing out to Le a governess, accord;;;;; io the programme, married the chirk haired young clerk in Ellison's ex press office, New York.jdfi They were quietly married, early iu the morning, and Frank took Ma rian home to his mothei, ''and : went calmly about his business in the wire cage, under the circlet of-* gas lights. " Evans !" " Yes, sir." Frank, with his pen behind his ear a of yore, quietly obeyed the be hests of thc' gray headed official " Do you remember the yoting wo man who ' ' w as ? ?x pressed ? ari * from Millington, Iowa, two/month's Mflje?" I i " Y^-f-Jr.; J.ifcmember." A tall, silver-haired gentleman I rere interposed with eager quick aess. " Where is she ? I am her uncle Walter Harrington. I have just re turned from Paris, -where the news of her arrival reached me. L want her, she is the only living relative me." " Ah ! hut, sir," said Frank, " you can't have her." "Can't have her! What do you mean ? Has anything happened? " Yes, sir, something lias happen ed . Miss Harlan was married to me morning. Valter Harrington started, f " Take me to her," he said, hoarse ly "I can't be parted from my only living relative for a mere whim." I wonder if he calls the marriage service and wedding ring mere whims, thought honest Frank, but he obeyed in silence. " Marian," said the old man, in faltering aocg?? will come lo and '"-Jg B?r of my old age ? I am^^^HSP, and you are all I have in^H Wyt." But Marian stRe her hand through . her husband's arm. !f " Dearest uncle, he was kind to me when ? was most- desolate and alo.ie I cannot leave my husband, Uncle Waiter ; I love him !" " Then you must both o'' you come and be my children," said the old man, doggedly ; " and you must come now, for the great house is as lonely as a tomb." Frank Evans is an esj ress ck-rk no longer, and pretty Marian moyes in.velvet and diamonds; but they arc (prlte as happy as they were in the old days, and that is saying enough. Uncle Walter Harrington grows cider and feebler every day, and his two children are the sunshine of his declining life. A Steamboat Engineer Inherits a Million and is io bc 3IarrieUi From the Detroit Free Press. During the late rebellion a father mid two sons entered the Third Penn sylvania Cavalry and served until the father and one son were killed and the surviving son was sent home dis abled. The father left an estate val ued at that time at about $800,000, and from the time o? his death until about a month ago the estate has been in litigation. During this time thc survivor, James ??hay by name, de termining to fit himself out for life, willi commendable perseverance has learned tho trade ol' stone entier, machinist, and engineer, and during lasl winter worked at Dundee in tbia ?tate a;; engineer in a mill. Previous to hi.-! leaving his homo at Philadel phia, however, he placed the secur ing of his portion ol his father's es tate, ns his heir, in tiiejiyjids of a lodge of Knights Tenir his ?athol' belonged, J$0^k& Minor of Philaj^^^'- .y? counsel. ,4^y--?

Saunders & Cook ! steamboat inspectors at this j'Oii, was examined by them and was ??-Id that b? had proved himself worthy a li cense as second engineer on a high pressure engine or first engineer on a t ug boat, and that if he could secure such a position they would issue his J license. The cost of a license is five j dollars, which Mr. Shay did ne t have, and he so informed thc inspectors, promising to send the amount within thirty days. The inspectors told him they would issue his license and trust him for its cost, and he depart ed for Toledo and in less than a week had secured a position on the tug G K. Hand. The coveted license was j made out at this port anit sent to him. The lug Hand was engaged at To ledo in towing sco\ys, tenders to the dredges at 'work on- the harbor im provements at that port, and Shay was in good spirits, working faithful ly, his license paid for, and for the time being, as he says, had given mighty little thought to what he might or might not get from Phila delphia. During the forenoon of Tuesday, June 1, Mr. Shay was at work in the hold of the tug Hand tightening the brasses on the* connecting rod, when the hatchway above was darkened, and looking up ho saw a smiling countenance peering down at him and a hand encased reaching toward him. " James, I think you may stop work for a while," said the intruder, and the voice was recognised as Charles Miner, his counsel. " I got stuck on thc centre," said Shay, " when I saw Mr. Miner, but told him I would lc on deck irarae diately if he would get out of the way. Covered with oil and smoke I climbed out, and, justas I was, not even giving me lime to wipe my hands. Mr. Miner seized me by both hands and told me that the case had been decided in my favor, and that all I had lo do wai lo draw the money. You should have scon these ove. .ils come off, and thc way that wrench and my old cap spun around on deck was a caution. I couldn't say anything, so I seated mys? If on the bulwarks and looked at Mr. Mi nen" The result was that Mr. Shay went to Philadelphia with Mr. Miner, found out that he wai in reality a millionaire, properly valued at over $1,000,000 being iu the hands of the JjCnight.-?

His gaze wai so steady and peculiar t hat the friend began to bo alarmed and to fear thai the hatchet was about to be dug up again. Directly the Carolinian asked the stranger if he knew him. There was no recognition, whereupon the Carolinian asked him if he was not in the late war. " Yes,".was thc re ply. " And you were once stationed at such a place ? " Yes." And took part in such a skirmish ?" " Yes.'' 11 Well, I thought so," replied the Carolinian, and, raisin; his hat, show ed a large scar on his forehead, say ing. " There is your sabre mark, my boy ; come up and lake a drink." And so then and there Ikey decora ted the grave of the buried hatchet. -Boston Herald, ..: t _?,i J-? Ari' .v* i?ov?rner 'SViilker, nf.

J Music Without Ilaiifls. PHILADELPHIA, June ll-The ac me of-machine-music appears to have been attained in an-ingenious inven tion just perfected ?>y Messrs. Schmo ele of this city, which was exhibited last evening in Horticultural Hall to a few invited guests. . Thc apparatus reads notes and plays upon an organ with absolute correctness of time and touch, the only assistance given it by the operator beihg to feed in the end of a roll of music and start the ma chinery. Organs have been played by electricity before, but the only part performed by the electric fluid has been to transmit the power from a distant bank of keys to open thc valves of the instrument. ?Such au electrical or^an has been exhibited in London for some time past. In the Schmoele instrument the electric ?ui rent is endued with a seeming intelli gence, and distinguishes the notes in r.he same way that a blind man doe3 -by feeling. Marvellous as this ap pears at first thought, it is simple enough. The score is written on a long roll of stout paper by cutting holes through it in theforrn"f squares or parallelograms. The reading in strument, which is about as large as a sewing-machine, is provided with a multitude of small brass lingers, each of which is connected by a wire with the pipe of the organ which it ope rates. The roll of music is fed in over a brasstubo^JVken the fingers rest on t;:e^(^^p electric current is transmitted, because paper ?3 a non-conductor; but whenever they fall into the holes cut in it they touch the brass balow, the current is trans mitted and the sound produced. The. length o? thc note is governed by the length of the slit in the paper. A noiseless bellows-machine, run by wind conducted through a pipe from the organ, works the feeding appa ratus. To aid in producing orches tral affects, drums, cymbals, balls, &c, aro added to the ordinary pipe-organ and operated by electricity in the s;ime manner as the pipes. A greatly increased volume of sound and much richer harmonic combinations can be ma le by this instrument than it is possible for a single performer to prc (luce upon an organ, in consequence of the fact that the performer has on ly his ten fingers, while . - electrical machine has 200, and N r ?like as many notes at once a.. sired. Ail lue notes ou the organ that can be combined into a chord can be brought out together. The overtures to "Serui ramide" and " William Tell" were performed last evening with pleasing effect. As the reading instrument is mechanically accurate, and the score correctly written, there were, of course, no false notes. It was obvi ously machine music, however, but machins music of the highest order, and might readily have boen mista ken for the performance of a well drilled, bat rather spiritless orches tra. Thc inventors hope soon to ap ply their device io a piano.-Qcvrcs pond-nice -iV! Y. Tribune. -.-HD**.-? Brevities and Lr.viiies. ' ? v-*" A bad sign -Tosign another man's mino to a note.
