San Fiiaxcisco. Mamie. Til i: M A Kit I AG i: rORTlOX. There Jived about five or six mile from E.iston, Pa., a few years since, an holiest rainier named Henderson, who had two very pretty daughters. Ellen and Mamie. The Iii at. was about tweiity-thiee years of age. while the latter was nineteen. The farmer was a thrifty, well-to-do man, though by no means rich ; but Ihe family lived in excellent style, and the daughtets bad received good educations. Hotli of these giils were ptctty, but Mantle was jiei haps the handsomer. There was no lack of attentive young gentlemen at the farm, though Ihe ncighbol lio.Hl was not very thickly settled. Hut beauty draws ns with a single thread," and the young ladies were the center of a gay little circle of friends, mostly jouiig gentlemen or fanners' sons i'i the immediate neigh borhood, and some even from Easton. Hy-aod-by it came about tljat an earnest, handsome and sturdy young farmer fell deierately iu l-ve with Maude, and pro posed to her. On her part, she loved Har ry Masters above all the young fellows she knew, and told him frankly that he might speak to her father. In the meantime she confided the matter to her mother, a kind heaited, sympathetic ptient, ho saw no objection to the choice of her daughter, but all was left to Ihe father to decide. Fa.mer lleudeisou was a very straight forward and open mouthed man. Thai is, he said exactly what he meant, no more or less, and t hat he utteid freely. When Harry Masters called him on one side and told bis especial errand, as to Maude, the father said : W ell, Mr. Masters Maude is young. I wanted Ellen to be mai i ied hi V ; she's oldest, and I have got a marriage portion of twelve bundled dollars L give her: but I haven't laid by anylhing yet for Maude." , 'I have got pretty well beforehand, Mr. Hendeison. fora man butt wenty-fom yeais old, and we shall be able to do very well, I have no doubt." . You mean you 11 t'ke Manoe without ny marriage portion ?" said the father. Yes, sir, very gladly." Well, pleasant to hear yon say so, because it shows your hotiest aQectioii, Mr. Masters: but I am loo proud, though a simple fanner, to let Maude many till I can give her a thousand or two towatd housekeeping." 'It is not worn waiting for, sir, as long as we don't really ijeed it, and both ate 01 "Then, again, I'd ratlief Maude wouldn't marry until her sister is married, because she's so much older, do yon see, it will actually make her an old maid. It lsu t fair. Mr. Masters." Ellen is very popular wit h t he gent lemen, and will soon be married," sad the othei. "That's int what I have said to myself, and then f shrll '"'gin to pick up u mar-lia-of portion for MuuJe. the barn : and I want "I trust that is the only objectioti, Mr. Hendeison ?" said Harry Masters. "Why, yes ; you are a promising and re spectable young man, and come of a good family," Said the farmer; but I can't let Mau.ie go until I have got together a re spectable marriage portion to give with her hand." 'Perhaps you will think more favorably about it," said the lover. "I'll speak with you again." "All right, Mr. Masters." Harry and Maude were very fond of each other, and now talked over the matter very seriously. Maude could not blame her father, and did not like herself the idea of going to Harry without a proper portion to contribute toward their joint partnership in doinestic lile "Never mind, Harry." said the hand- I some young giil ; "Ellen will soon be mar- l ied. I have pretty good reason for know- j "Ah, but then your father says he wanta time to pick upa marriage portion for you, i and that nil! lake thiee or lour yeais, per haps." " That is a good while, is it not, Harry?" said Maude, just blushing a little, for (ear that it sounded forward and bold. "It's ages !" said lite young fellow. "Think 'of wai ing three yeais why we shall be old folks by that tune !" "Not quite so bad as that," said Maude. "I'm suie my hair will be giay by that time !" "Nonsense, Harry ! Now you are jok ing." I was never more in earnest in my life," uid he, as he Hole a kiss from her pretty lips, and ran away, so as not to hear her chide him lor his boldness. "Mantle," said her father, coming into the house from the barn, "I wish you would tide the sorrel mare into Kaston, and get this hundred dollar bill changed at the bank. The wot k men have eor done with the rooting ol' to pay them off 'o-night "Very well, father. Let John put the side saddle ou, and I will be leady in five minutes." The sorrel mare was brought up to the door, anil Maude was- stain on her way at an easy hand gallop toward Kaston. She had an excellent seat, and was a good horsewoman. As she knew this well, she would not have objected to have Harry see her just now ; but he had gone a few mo ments before in an opposite diiection. When Maude got into Kaston she rode diiectly to the bank, but was ut.foi tunaie enough to find that it was already closed. Afer a few moments thought she resolved to try and get the note changed at the gro cer's, or at some ot the oilier siores, and went immediately to do so. Fate stemed agriinst her, lor no one had small change enough lo accommodate Miss Hendeison. At one of the stoics where she stopped, a very gentletnanly-lookiug person took out his pocket txok and said he thought he could change it for hei,aud she handed him the bjll, but he returned it, saying, af ter ail, he had not so much small money. He seemed to regret this, however, and even followed Maude to the door and as sisted her to lemouut her horse. She was forced to give up her errand, as she did not like to run about among stran gers asking them to change her a bill, es-la-cially as no one seemed able to do str. Sdie, theiefore, turned her horse's head once moie towaid home, Scarcely had she passed the out. ski us of the town when she was oveifaken by the stranger who bail spoken with her in the last store, and who at tirst. thought he could change her bill. He was mounted upon a fine looking bay horse, and saluted her respect fully as he came alongside." "Did you get j-our bill changed?" he asked. "No ; small bills seemed scarce," she replied. "Do you live near here ?" "Altont live miles ofT." "Quite a lide." "Oh, e don't mind live miles in the country." "Vou are an excellent rider." "I have ridden since 1 was six years old," she said ; "but my sister Ellen is a bet et rider than I am." "You ate generous to admit it," said the traniier. "Why, i.'sonly the truth," she answered frankly. After they had passed over about two miles, they camo to a very lonely piece of road, quite retnuve.1 from any dwelling houses. Still, as the stranger appeared so gentlemanly, and had addtessed her so po litely, she bad not the least suspiciou of any evil intention on his part. Presently, he said suddenly, "I will hat.k yon for that bill." "What?" said she, half smiling. "Please to give me that bill." "What do you mean?" asked Maude. "Just what I say !" he replied, suddenly. "I shall do no such thing," she answer ed firmly. "I am sorry to draw a pistol upon a lady," he continued, suiting the action to the word, "but I must have that hundred dollar bill at at once." "Do you mean to rob me ?" "I must have the mouey !" It was with dillicnlty she could believe the man was in earnest ; but when be now cocked his pistol and held it towaid her with one hand, while lie extended the other for the bill, she was forced to yield lo the nece.ssily of the situation. She was a btave-bearted girl, and even now sh did not turn pale nor tremble in the least ; but saw she could not help herself, and so made the best of it. Just as she held out the bill to him a sudden puff of wind blew it into ihe road, andecarried it several yaidsfrom them. Tho stranger alighted to get ir, and, quick as thought, Maude struck her horseaamart blow, in order lo get out of Ihe i Mirer's power. The sorrel mare was a spirited little creature, and sprang Into a smart gallop at once ; while the st ranger's horse, which had been standing beside her, also started oil' at full speed in bei company. Bang ! went the robber's pistol after them, having only the effect to increase the speed of the Hying hoists, bo h of whom were now on Ihe dead run. .Mamie did not care how fast she rode, the sorrel was as easy as a cradle at that secd, and in ten minutes she dashed into hei falhei's yaid, followed by the riderless hoise. Her story was sot m told, and her father was wiih difficulty prevented from staiting after the robber with his pistol and rille, but be knew 4h at the scoundrel would nat urally take at once lo the woods, where he could not follow him. J "W ill, we've got LisLoi4e, at auy rate," said the farmer; "and he is woith more than a hundred dollars.'' "Hallo, master !" said, the man John, who had been taking the saddle-bags from the strange horse. "What is it, Jerhu ?" "These bags is full of something." "I should think so," said the faimer, as he unstrapped the leather bags. They were found to contain some eoun teifeit plates a quantity of counterfeit money, in various bills, and also a little over fifteen hundred dollars in good money! "Huzza !" cried the farmer. "What is it, father?" said Maude. "Why, your trip to Easton has proved a profitable one, at all events. Heie'sover fifteen hundred dollars, good money !" "Ah, but it will be claimed by the own er." "Do you think a counterfeiter will daie to come for the tools that would convict him ? to say nothing of highway robbery." "I didn't think of that." That evening Farmer Henderson sent John over to young .Masters with a message to call round and see him, to which Hatty resjamded instantly. "Mr. Masters." said the farmer, as he came into the large, old-fashioned sitting room, "you remember what you asked of me this afternoou ?' "Yes. sir." "Well, I give my consent. Maude has just furnished her own marriage portion. Take Ler, my boy, and be happy !" ThriJling 12jrperh-nvc uf i l'itmlc Hit-1 NUMliEU 3S. Sl Clt A STt'l'llt 1VOMAX!

SfKltKXDKItF.nTO ax Owl The follow ing war incident during the Peninsula campaign is told by a correspondent of Ihe W'eldon (N. V..) AVtfs: One datk, di'zzly night when everything seemed poi tent ions of some evil, both armies doubled their picket lilies, and after uaik picked men were sent out between the picket lines to watch moie closely the movements of the enemy and to prevent a surpiisc. The most impressive orders were given to all the pickets, and especially to those h:cu pying t he oui posts. At Deep Bottom one North Caiolina legimelit was on duty, and one of its picket men was sent to the front to occupy an important out post in a foiest of pines. The extreme darkness of the night and the dense shadow of Ihe thick pines rendered his optics of little use to him on this occasion, hence his auditory facult ies were on double duty. It is said that when mar. is depiived of one facul y others become moie acute, and this case was not an exception to the itile. The only thing that operated against the free exercise of 'he organ of hearing was the thumping of his heart, which he more than once mistook for the approach of many heavy shod foot --tens. He was in close quarters with the enemy, could hear the Corporal whispering his orders to the men on the hue confronting him; whether or not they were advancing ou him he could not toll ; he rather thought they were, and was making up his mind to thin conclusion, when, from a lew feet above his head, butst out a terrible scream. The brave man's netves gave way, he let fall his gun and clasped his hands over his head for protec tion, said something he don't recollect what had sin rendered and was about to beg for quater, thought a dozen Y'ankees weie aiouud him, but a second scream dis closed to him his mistake he had surreti dered to a screech owl.

"Will I detail myexpeiienc.es for pub lication?" she said. "With pleasure. I was originally stewardess on the L. anil W. !. steamer California, of which my husband was bead waiter. We left thesleamci and established ourselves in business iu Panama in lb71,but failed and went to Mexico, where my husband vas employed as a diver by the Santa Barbara Peaii Fishing Company, ojerating in the Cnlf of Califor nia. I have always been fond of the water, from being so much a; sea, I suppose, and when we were established at the headquar ters of the fisheiy, on the island of bant a Barbara, where 1 acted for a time as ck for the party, I frequently accompanied the diveis to the scene of their operations. From watching them so often 1 became quite familiar with the divers' woik, and one day the idea struck me that I would like to go down. My husband finally con sented to the cxjoriment in shallow water, that is where the depth was not more than fifteen feet. The experince of my first de scent was not very encouraging. 1 came up bleeding at nostiils, mouth and ea s, and fainted upon reaching the surface. However, I iersevered, tried it again and again, and at length became so hardened i to the work that I could remain down as lung as any of the men, Iu 174 my bus- band was suffocated in his armor by the 1 breaking of the air-supply tube, ami from ; that time until the end of toe season I took j his place in the fisheiy. It may seem sing ular to you that I should tempt the very , death which I had seen my husband sue- 1 cuinb to, but I only tell you what eveiy ' oiher diver will, that the fascination of my ' dangerous trade overcomes every consider- I ation of peril. I have seen men brought '. up so badly injured that Ihcy lay for months in agony ; yet dining all that time were constantly looking forwaid to the time when they could once more brave the fate they bad so narrowly escaped." j "Did you find yr.tu' sex a hindi mice to ' your success as a diver;'"' nked the r por- ! ter. "That is to sa", tKd physically, but morally. liven ihe people at the pcail lishei ies, although they knew me and my ability to do the wink, hesitated to employ i ! l I r j .. i . ..i... i : : i . i . . . . thoughts ' 1 louiiii il aosouueiy uiip.'ssioie 10 iiuiiuii nuiK on me mni'i lh,i.i until t. j- : tain Hattley, the chief diver of Douglas Co., who had seen me al woik in the Gulf, gave me a chance to woik on the schooner Gaviota. That was oaily last Fcbiuaiy. The schooner was sun k ou a sandbank eigli- tern miles from shoie, iu water seventy- i five feet deep, and whenever any wind was blow ing ihe sea became vety heavy. 1 was heaitily sick of the job the lirst lime 1 went down, but tin; men had Micered at me so at the s'art that I would not give up. I never got lo like that cx;m ritnce anyway, and was glad enough when the last cask of dollars of her cargo came up and woik was declared at an end." "Did you meet with any peculiar or dangerous experiences (luting the continu ance of '.his woik?" asked the lopoilcr. "The first, and one which neaily cost all of our lives, was an attack by the Mexi cans. The Gaviota had been sunk with a load of smuggled silver. At the time of Ihe disaster to the Gaita the Mexican authorities were unusually vigilant, ami ii . was very difficult to 'run' a cargo of f-iivcr. After the Gaviota was sunk the r.wucis sent Captain Hattley, with seveial duels of whom I was one, to attempt to iccover the cargo under the li otect ion of an aimed j steamer. The Mexicans fliade several t f - ' foi ts lo drive the Ameiicans .fl". One of j these attacks resulted in a savage light, and we had to abandon woik, nnd tun out to sea for several days. Fiom that time forth we had to be constantly on the aloil, but we were not ftirthei molested. W ben the attack was made I was dow n al the bot tom, trying to make fast to a cask of dol lars that was pal t ially sunk iu the sand. We weie diving from the pott side of the steamei, and the fiist 1 knew of the dis- ; tin bance was ihe sudden stoppage i f the air supply, occasioned, as I aftcrwaid found out, by the man in chaige of li e air pump . having to desert his post to dt iend himself. ' It came all of a sudden, like a llash. I felt a frightful sense of oppie.'-sioii nt the chest, and a thutiilcious inmblirg at the ears while a hiH shiver, as if I had been suddenly exiHsed to the heat of a blast fur nace, inn through me. Fortunately the man at the signal line was still on duty, and he answered my call for help by tliag giug me to the sut face. I was nearly dead. 1 My face v. as black and stained wilh the. blood which had stalled even from the sockets -f my eyes. It took an hour to le vive me, and for two days I was unfit for duty. If I had been under water two min utes moie I would not be here lo tell of my adventure. We bad to blow up the deck , of the schooner twice, in older to get at the cargo. The second time a sad acci- j dent occurred. A Mexican diver named Pablo Vasqncz went down to put the toi- j pedo in position. The man in charge of the batleiy was nervous, and must have picssed the lever involuntarily. At any j late he exploded the charge befoie Pablo bad risen 4o li e suiface, anu t lie shock killed him although he did not have a ; scratch on him. Pablo was a tbstiate diver. One day I remember be got up 4, -000, the heaxiest raise made by one man during the woik." ' Do yon intend to follow your perilous calling in this pail of the world asked , the reporter.
