Translated from the German of WahlbrwM. Y The rich old miser and pawnbroker GrilTo was about to close his store and retire to his solitary sleeping apartment. He threw a quiet, searching glance about him pianos, guitar, household furniture of every kind and descrip tion, which -the necessities of the poor or the extravagance of the rich had gathered there, strewed the room in strange contusion. Alter cautiously snrveying the whole, and satisfying himself that no thief was concealed within, who could despoil him of his hoarded treasures, he turned to close the door, whan a yonnz man stepped upon the threshold. His elegant mantle only partially concealed the richness of his dress and the symmetry of his form; he might have been about twenty-five years of age, and withal looked so gay, and glad, and lite-loving, that the o'd miser drew back amazed. Gracefully raising his hat, he disclosed a profusion of glossy raven curls, and a lace that might have served a painter for an Adonis or Eodyniion. His eyes fell upon the crave, parchment-like featuros ot the old usurer, and though he could nut restrain a smile, yet he failed to banish the traces of care which sad dened his brow. "Bravo, my young lord," exclaimed Gr.ffo. "I call you a man of your word. I have always said that the noble lords of Rome, and iadeed of all Italy, might safely take for their raodol Signor Filippo Palina none knew so well as he how to live how to circulate his money, and one so punctual to return a borrowed loan." "It grieves mo much, Signor Gritfo, that this sing, and bewitch with his songs. lie shall tcaoh myEuseita." The carnival was brilliant and mngnlfloent, but passed tar too quickly lor Flllipno. He had rot. as formerly, celebrated it with his gay com panions. He was sot king his unknown lived one amid the crowd of masks, and too often tound himself sadly disappointed. His gold at last engaged an old woman to bring information ot ner, and also deceived all watching eyes which guarded the beautiful unknown. Through her he received a lew lines from the lady, con taining, however, nothing but a promise to meet him 011 the coming Sunday. True, he had soen and spoken with her on the evening of the Ian day ot the carnival, and confessed his love; but while he listoned to bear the sweet words of lite thrit trembled unexpressed upon her lips, tie dense crowd separated him from the lair one. and instead, the bravos ot a hundred mocking voices greeted as they looked on and boiste rously applauded the farce, i Fllippo sat in his lonelv room In sorrow and silence, when the door suddenly opened and Orill'o stood belore him, the sight of whose face recalled his uncancelled obligation, and struck now terror to the unhappy lover. The object of Ms visit, however, was by no means sucn as Ft lippo bad anticipated; he came to assure his young friend that the sweetest strains or his golden song wore yet floating throuah his brain, and to request that ho would give bis daughter lessons, with which she misjht gladden and solace his old atrc. Palma was not more sur prised at this requopt than at the news that he had a daughter, whom he had never seen or heard ot, though bo had been a long time a regu lar customer ol the old man. Thon Grllfo told him how, long years ago, the persuasions of his friends hud induced him to marry, and how in a jear's time his young wife died, leaving him a daughter, whom the tender care of a prudent aunt had reared. ''I h:ve had notice," he added, "that many flatterers and idlers, attracted by her beauty, seek to ensnare the girl, so that it is doubly necessary that she be suitably employed, that evil may not take root in the soil of her nean." The next morning, In compliance with Griffo's request, Filippo wits on the spot at the ap pointed hour, and followed him with no little curiosity into the upper apartments of his lodgings. Who shall describe his astonishment, when from a side door entered the ione-souglit, un known object of his love. Forgetting all olso, he threw himself at her feot, kissed her beuu- tlful hand, and covered it with kisses, which she very graciously received, believing the ap probation and consent ot her lather had been gained. Hut it was tar otherwise, wnue tne young pair abandoned themselves to joy and delight, the old man foamed with anger and rage, and a storm of imprecations Boon convinced the lovers ol tho true state of the case. All seemed lost. Gntfo seized the eirl and led her into the adjoining room, and was about to kick Filippo out of the door, when suddenly the remembrance came to him, how, on a former occasion, he had by the mysterious might of music subdued and conquered the terrible anger of the old churl. He quickly seated himself at the open piano, and if before "he had been sing ing in joke, this time he sang with the earnest ness of desperation, and not in vain. Orpheus wrung from the miser his Eurydico, and became his son-in-law. No son of song, since Fillippo Palma, has ever won lrom a miior gold, far less Elise tta. HATS AND CAPS. PROPOSALS.

COOKE IS SELLING THE PltESTON COAL, 'Which is tho vory boat coming to this market, SCHUYLKILL COAL time I so ill deserve the praise with which you overwhelm me. I know that to-day I should nave repaid that small sum." "Small sum I small suml yon owe me a hun dred ducats, and to-day I counted upon it. I lent it, too, without a pledge, bethink you, upon your honest lace; but certainly you have brought it with interest, and you wish to loke with me." "Would to God it were so," rejoined Filippo, "but, believe me, we slr.gers carry empty pockets while the Carnival lasts; our opeia managers cannot pay us until Shrovetide Is over. Meanwhile we must live; therefore, I have come to beg you to double that loan, and let me have another hundred ducats upon my honc3t face." "The d 1 take me 1 If that is not a rare joke," said the astonished Griffo. "Do you think I have found my money or stolen it, that I can throw it alter you as you scatter your light songs among the silly crowd? No, no, I will teach you better; I have your bond, and it I cannot jingle both money and interest in my purse this day, you shall go to the debtor's friPon and there celebrate your carnival, unless, ndeed, your manager or the fooliih song-roving rabble ot Home will redeem you." "Pray listen to reuson, signor Grillo.

"A iie," suia uiiiio. tnoucuciuiiy; "a wiaow, perhaps an heiress; who h she, and how far has the maMcr gone ?" ' "Not so Jar as you think; neither do 1 know who she is. I have seen her only twice, but more is not necessary to fall desperately in love; the thine i3 soon linished, for she yeems to be tinruarnl, and to all appearance is blessed with every earthly good." "1 will listen to you uo longer, you young madcap; jou shall go to prison to day if you cannot give mo full satisfaction or furnish me responsible security;" and hereupon the old nig gard flew into a paroxysm of rage, and poured forth f. perfect torrent of curses, all of which Filippo leceived w ith tho most imperturbable gravity. Resolved upon obtaining the loan, and Loping to gain his point as soon as tbe storm had passed by, Filippo meanwhile stepped to an open i ia.no and began to play a favorite aria, which bad lately gained him much applause. Seeing, however, that fjUrirlo's wrath was rather in the flow than in the ebb, he seated himself and tvgan to sing the aria, which he supported with a vigorous accompaniment. He had at first no other Intention thin to Bhow his firm resolution and to appear as unembarrassed aud as much at his ease as possible; but when he perceived that the old man listened with deligbtod astonishment, ho becan to sing in a style worthy of Filippo Palma, the most celebrated singer of his , time. A mir ror hanging opposite rellocted the i'aco of the miser, and i illppo watched with anxious interest the various emotions which passed through his soul and warmed into lite his stern, rigid leutures. At first the muscles of his lace relapred and expanded as the lull, deep tones trembled through the hall; then, as the swelling waves of rich melody rose and sank in wild sport and play, tho angular features gradually formed themselves Into a' sweet smile, and the man ot pain, who had until now listened only to the sound of gold, stood spll-bound; a light was In his leaden, souIIcsb eve, and his Hps trembled. It whs as though an angel of beauty had touched him with his ma&lc wand, so complete was the transformation; the clear, rich tones of melody fell upon his soul as the warm, bright rays of the sun upon the earth after a long rainy season. As Palma at last with a lively emotion and brilliant passages drew towards the cloe, Gritfo could no longer remain quiet in his corner; he strove to express by the motions ot his limbs the spirit ot music; noiselessly he moved that he mlcht not by an unlucky stop interruDt the sweet-toned stream of enchanting melody. As the aria was concluded, aim unno stood panting, wiping the perspiration lrom his forehead, the sinrrcr stentjed up to mm wun a smiie anu said: "How is it, Bignor Grillo t will you loan me the ducata now; or will you at least listen to my explanation, and net interrupt me witn your curses V 'Curse. I curpe? no. Heaven forbid the money I will count out directly, my son, You ar a magician, and have bewitched mo. Upon your honet lace, or your olden voice, 1 'loan it without interest, if it must be so." "No. no, that is more than I ask, my worthy sir. l'e as-ured you do me a great lavor, which 1 tli all not Torget alter the carnival, when l am ahsppy bridegroom and a rich man." Filippo miiekiv garnered up tne monev, and vani.sneo throuuh the street door, and Uritlo awoke as if from a heavy dream, to a consciousness ot what he had done. At Orst he sepmed to repent his ireueroslty, then, shaklne his grey locks, iuv luuturily exclaimed, "He has a voice I he cau UST RECEIVED! DIRECT FROM BICHMOJiD I AT $7 PER TON.
