The Footstep on the Stair.
I have very many treasures
That my heart has hid away;
There's a little curl that's brighter
Than the sunshine of the day;
And a little shoe that's faded,
Is among my treasures there—
And I listen, when I see it,
For a footstep ou the stair,
For a patter, patter, patter,
Of a footstep on the stair.
Now those little feet are silent,
And the face is hidden low
Underneath the meadow grasses,
And the daisies' fragrant snow ;
And I miss them in the morning,
Pattering feet, and face so fair—
But I listen most at bed-time,
For the footstep on the stair.
Then she'd come and kneel beside me
In her little gown of white,
And she'd say her short prayer over,
And would kiss me sweet good-night.
And I listen in the twilight,
Though I know she is not there,
But I cannot still my yearning,
For the footstep on the stair,
'.'or the patter, patter, patter,
Of the footstep on tl.e stair.

"Who Shall Marry Her?"
A strong bond of friendship had from
their earliest childhood existed between
Verneuil du Pres and llenry de Savigny.
At college the same studies and pursuits
were followed by both. In the same army
they held each the grade of lieutenant, and
served in the same regiment where, by the
officers, they were called Castor and Pollux,
Orestes and Pleiades, Damon and Pythias,
and other titles as applicable. Years and
experience ripened and strengthened their
affection into the most scrupulous fidelity.
When about sixteen, the age when others
are ingeniously exaggerated, du Pres and
Savigny one day pledged themselves to
each other as friends which death alone
could part.
"Let us solemnly swear," said du Pres,
"to share alike each other's pleasures, pains,
fortune and misery."
"But suppose the time should come when
each may long for some object that may
not be shared ?"
"Then let it be renounced."
"No ; let us rather promise to play for
possession."
"That is a happy thought," responded
de Savigny.
"So let it be arranged," he continued,
"that a game of chequers or cards shall
decide."
00000000
"Be it so. Accepted thus all disputes
will be avoided, and our friendship re
main intact. This plan is well suggest
ed."
The two friends, with their company of
huzzars, were garrisoned at Saint Ger
maine, and the officers had been feted as so
many heroes. The chateau, terrace and
forest rendered Saint Germaine a delicious
sojourn. Quite near the barracks, Mon
seiur Dubois, the father of their captain,
resided. With Dubois the two young men
had formed an agreeable intimacy, and as a
natural result, the house of the father was,
at all times, open to them.
About six months prior to the com
mencement of our story, a young Italian
girl had come to St. Germaine, and been
introduced by Monsieur Dubois to society
as the daughter of one of the old corres
pondents of his house. Her name was
Bianca Marrelli, and her first appearance
in the social circles of Saint Germaine was
signaled by the manifestation of the most
pronounced admiration on the part of the
gentlemen, and by an intense dislike from
the fair sex, the natural result of jealousy.
This was, however, strictly disguised
by the protestations of exceeding friend
ship.
Many admirers paid court to the lovely
Bianca, and not a few asked her hand in
marriage ; but offers had met with positive
discouragement, and it was generally be
lieved that Monsieur Dubois intended the
treasure for his son.
There is no more inflammable heart than
that of an officer in the huzzars. Among
the most impressionable, and as well, the
most timid, were du Pres and de Savigny.
Bianca was amiable, but gave no one rea
son to hope. It may be that the hour for
loving had not dawned, or that, in the
depth of her heart, she treasured some mys
terious secret.
Mlle. Marrelli not only did:not encour
age, but she well knew how to avert, a
declaration on the very lips of her admi
rers—a fact which in no wise diminished
her troop of adorers, but rather heightened
the fever of attraction.
One morning Captain Dubois invited his
friends to a ball, au invitation generally
accepted.
"That day," said Dubois, "will be to me
one of happiness, and I trust all will be
present to learn the reason of my joy and
rejoice with me."
As he spoke a bright color flushed his
cheeks and his eyes sparkled with pleas
ure.
The evening arrived. Never had Bianca
looked more ravishingly beautiful; her
Power seemed irresistable, as with uncom
mon grace she received each guest, and
many in her genial smile read an encour
agement unconsciously given.
Du Pres, who had long endeavored to
confess his love, determined to declare his
sentiments during the cotillion. Before
speaking, he allowed his eyes to rest upon
her in silent admiration, and now and then
hazarded a pressure of the hand, and at
length whispered the desire to speak to
her alone.

"If you will grant me a few moments
conversation in private," said du Pres, in
a low tone, "I have something most confi
dential to tell you."
"I have also something confidential to
tell you, and will see you when the ball is
over," responded Bianca, sadly. "Wait
until then, I beg of you, for I trust you
will understand me and be willing to ren
der me justice."
"Justice !" replied du l'res, surprised by
her answer.

"Yes," she resumed, "but do not try to
comprehend my meaning ; you cannot un -
til I explain." Then recalling, although
with seeming effort, her gayety, she ex
tended her hand, adding, "Come, it is our
time to dance."
.LTY
Du Pres at first knew not what to think,
but, absorbed in his own feelings, on re
flection, he concluded that Bianca's reply,
gave him reason to hope, and fed by this
thought he gave himself up to dreams of
future happiness.
The quadrille over, de Savigny approach
ed Mlle. Marrelli to recall her promise to
waltz with him ; and, leaving her with
his friend, Vernenil, hastily lett the draw
ing-room and descended to the garden.—
But a short time elapsed when de Savigny
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30, 1875.
joined du Pres. He also seemed anxious
and troubled ; but, absorbed by his own
thoughts, his companion did not at first
observe his manner.
Verneuir exclaimed de Savigny, "this
evening has fixed my destiny."
"That is just what I was about to say to
you." replied du Pres.
"I am in love."
"And I also," added his listener.
"The woman I love is beautiful. Fancy
an angel of loveliness; when I think of the
possibility of failing in my suit, I feel as if
I should go mad."
"I can sympathize," responded de Sa
vigny. "Never have I dreamed of so much
beauty, combined with such grace, as I sec
united in the woman to whom my heart and
its every aspiration is given."
"Then you are, indeed, in love," said
du Pres.
"Who would not be with sucb a M
ilian, one whose character is pure and gen
tle ? I seem now to see her dark lustrous
eyes, her exquisitely moulded head, Ma
donna-like in form, and I still feel the in
fluence of her seductive and voluptuous
charms and her smile, which touches the
heart and reaches the very soul."
While de Savigny spoke, du Pres ex
perienced a strange sense of dread, and,
with a sudden impulse, he said :
"Whom do you love ?"
"Who else but Bianca Marrelli, the
beautiful Italian. For her I would give
my very life; without her, existence is val
ueless."
"Bianca?" exclaimed du Pres. "ls it
Bianca you love ?"
"It is," responded de Savigny.
For a moment there was a silence; each
seemed oppressed by the same sense of
impending evil.
"And you'" at length murmured de
Savigny.
"I also love Bianca Marrelli," said du
Pres.
"Our oath ?" responded his listener.
"As in the past, we will be true to our
vows," continued du Pres. "Listen, de
Savigny, this rivalry must not weaken
our friendship. Bianca alone shall de
cide."
"So be it," responded Savigny, "but
it is just to say that I have already heard
sufficient from Bianca this evening to
believe in the certainty of being loved by
her."
"On my part, I believe you to be de
ceived," said du Pres, "and you compel
me to acknowledge that I have faith that
I am her choice."
"I doubt," replied de Savigny.
"Listen, then, and I will tell you, that
you may judge for yourself."
"No, listen to me, and you will perceive
that you are in error."
"Well, we are mutually confident," ex
claimed du Pres ; "but of one thing I am
certain, Bianca intends to announce to one
of us our triumph over the other."
"As to me, Jam resolved never to resign
in your favor," responded de Savigny, hot
ly. "I love Bianca Marrelli, and she must
be mine."
"Never while I live to dispute her
love."
"We will see," was the firm answer,
"Then, du Pres, we are, I suppose, to
forswear our long-tried friendship, and be
faithless to our oath ?"
"Do you still desire to respect that
oath ?" replied du Pres.
"Yes !" exclaimed de Savigny, "and I
here demand that our agreement be car
ried out."
"Should the game prove favorable to me,
will you retire without any ill-feeling to
ward me, and make no further attempt to
win Bianca ?''
"I will."
"Then let us go. The game will de
cide."
The recall of the oath, which had with
so potent a charm bound them for so many
years, seemed to awaken the „,,sentiment
which, for the moment, governed by the
spell of a more mighty passion, had seemed
to sleep.
At length they found themselves seated
in the card room. Five or six persons
stood near, watching the game, surprised
at the strange, determined expression on
the face of each, marking the set resolve,
which honor bade them keep inviolate.
Pale and earnest, du Pres and de Sa
vingy handled the cards, playing each in
turn with deliberation throughout. Great
drops of perspiration stood out upon their
brows. At length the last throw was
reached. By some mischance both threw
a ten of diamonds.
"Neither has gained," exclaimed one of
the lookers-on. "Take another pack and
re-commence."
"No," replied du Pres. "Such tension
to the mind could not be endured twice."
With these words he rose brusquely and
took his departure, followed by de Sa
vingy.
' - IVe must decide," said the latter, as
they reached the hall.
"Yes, and at once," responded du Pres.
Even while he spoke be turned toward
the garden. As they crossed the terrace
the sound of a hurried fbotstep attracted
their attention, and turning they saw Du
bois, who had witnessed their game and
followed them, fearing trouble.
"Moved by some terrible mcaive," ex
claimed Dubois, "you propose a project
which I am determined shall not be accom
plished. You cannot refuse my prayer,
for, in memory of the old friendship which
has so long united us, I implore you."
"This is no idle sacrifice you demand,"
responded de Savingy.
"May it not be a quarrel, the motive of
which exists alone in your imagination "
"If such be your opinion you are inca
pable of appreciating a serious passion,"
said du Pres.
"It may be so, my friends," resumed
Dubois, smiling; "but on my honor, I
swear this duel shall not take place now
and here. To-morrow, after calm thought,
if such a plan be still desired by both, I
myself will be your second. Now, are you
satisfied? To-night, as host, and in common
courtesy to my hospitality, I claim you
both, es, having accepted my invitation,
you belong to me for the present." Lead
ing the way, Dubois, accompanied by du
Pres and de Savingy, re-entered the ball
room to find the apartment deserted, sup
per having been served in their absence.
As they entered the banquet-room, Mon
sieur Dubois stood at the head of the table,
beside him Bianca Marrelli. In an instant
Captain Dubois had joined them, and as
he did so, the young Italian extended her
hand,
"Allow me, my friends,to present to you
my daughter," said Monsieur Dubois. "In
Bianca Marrelli I introduce to all my son's
wife, a lady whom this happy fellow mar
ried some months since in Italy. For fam
ily reasons we have been obliged to keep
the marriage a secret until today, but now
rejoice in making it known to all."
With forced composure the two friends
tendered their congratulations to Captain
Dubois and his wife, and then hurried
from the house.
It is needless to say the duel did not
take place, the lady having decided who
she would marry prior to their joint claims
for her affection.

AK»nething about Stocks—The Manijm
lations :Thereof—Ophir—Kangaroo—
Fruit Marketing.
SAN FRANcisco, June 18, 1875.
STOCKS.
Chicago gambles in wheat and coin.
New York in gold and railroads, San Fran
cisco in Mining Stocks. Every man, wo
man and child in this city, almost, buys
and sells stocks, and they get up as heavy
an excitement over it as the gold and rail
road stock gamblers do in New York.
The lady of the house takes her chances
in Ophir and consolidated Virginia, which
arc high priced stocks, and the cook of
her kitchen takes a shy at Poarmon Lea
pard, or any of the little stocks which costs
only from 51) cents to $1.50 per share.
If stocks go up, madam indulges in dia
monds and silks, and the kitchen girl im
mediately sports a new calico dress on
their winnings :—if they go down—well,
I don't know what they do in that case.
The way
STOCKS ARE MANIPULATED
may ►►ot be altogether uninteresting to
your readers. It runs about this way.
A mine is discovered, or rather a location
is taken which gives promise of a mine.
It is named we will say Golconda, and a
company is at once formed to develop it.
The ownership is divided into one hun
dred thousand shares and the par value of
each is made $lO.OO. Of these shares the
original proprietors keep in their own
names GO,OOO, and place 40,000 on the
market, the proceeds of which are to be used
in "developing" the 1111operty, which means
opening the mine and finding if there is
ore therein, and if so, putting in all the
machinery necessary to the working of it.
It will be observed that the original pro
jectors have not put a dollar of their own
money in it. All comes from the pur
chasers of the 40,000 shares.
Now, we will suppose that a rich bed of
ore is really found. Immediately machin
ery is put in, the ore is taken out, immense
profits are made, and the stock mounts up
from 810, its original value, $5O, $75, $lOO,
and in some cases $4OO. and $5OO, and the
fortunate holders of the 40,000 shares
dream golden dreams. But mind, the half
dozen originals hold a majority of the
stock, and as they act together they con
trol it. Of them are all the officers of the
Company. They form the Board of Direc
tors, and Smith is President, Jones Treas
urer, and Thompson, Secretary. When
the stock is up to the highest point it can
be got, say $3OO, then comes a change.
The shipments of ore decrease, and finally
stops altogether, Rumors get abroad that
the vein has given out, and that to prose
cute the work an assessment will soon be
made, and the stock drops, drops, drops,
till the panic strikes it and it goes down
by terrfie leaps till it strikes the original
$lO, er perhaps lower than that. Of course
the original six buy it all in. When it
gets low enough ore is found again, and
up it goes. And this game they play over
and over again, the deluded public being
always the victim, because the six control
ling men hold the cards in their own hands.
The value of the stock depends of course
entirely on the production ; they can make
it produce or not, as they choose.
OPHIR
is just nnw the football, and it is being
manipulated in the interest of the ring
that has the Bank of California for its cen
tre. The par value of Ophir is sso—it
has been up within a year to 8-175, and
down to $l2. Sharon & Ralston who ownit
have made millions out of the rise and fall
of the stock, and to this day no one but
themselves know whether it has any value
or not.
Even rich mines that are not made mere
stock speculating machines of the original
owners make enormous fortunes ; for they
let all the contracts for supplies to them
selves, and the way they bleed the stock
holders is astonishing. But the stocks
are only for well-to-do people to gamble
with. Biddy in the kitchen and John on
the dray can be accommodated as well as
the rich people on Van \Veis Avenue.
And for people with very small means
there are stocks to be gambled in.
KANGAROO MINE,
for instance, is discovered and put upon
the market at the nominal price of 81.00
per share. Reports are circulated of the
richness of the mine, of its wonderful pros
pects, and the certainty of its becoming a
second ()phis; and John on the dray and
Biddy in the kitchen, invest their hard
earned dollars. Now the Kangaroo may
be a myth, there may be no mine, no ore,
no company, for that matter, but Kanga
roo shares. despite all that have a value in
the market. and they go up and down just
the same as consolidated Virginia or any
other stock that turns out $lOO.OOO of ore
per week. Nobody knows anything about
it; those who buy have no idea where it is
located, or that it has any value or even
existence; but a share is a share, and it
There will be an item in the newspapers
some morning, that the developments in
the Kangaroo district are of the most en
couraging nature, and forthwith Kanga
roo stock goes up from $1 to $lO, and cer
tain men rage about the street wanting to
buy all they can get of it at that price.
Seeing that these mining experts want to
buy, biddy and John want to buy, and
they do buy, but the experts do not.
Those who are talking buy, are. really,
through their brokers, selling at the price
that the clamor has made. It is a pretty
game, when they have used all the poor
dupes will buy, they simply let it go, and
Kangaroo fades oat of public sight, and
become 3 one of the things that were. The
people pocket their losses, and the operators
begin engineering another swindle of the
same sort, which they carry through the
same way.
FRUIT,
San Francisco is better supplied with
fruit than any city on the continent. The
southern coast supplies it with oranges,
lemons, and limes. Strawberries ten months
in the year. New potatoes are always in
the market. as also are peas, asparagus,
and in fact all the vegetables. Apples
come here from Oregon. Grapes grow
here to a size and of a flavor unknown
elsewhere; in short, there is not a fruit
known in the temperate zone or the trop
ics, that you cannot find in the markets
here. It is a beautiful sight, the markets ;
there is every fruit and every flower that
you can think of or imagine exposed for
sale, and at very reasonable prices. Straw
berries are always high ir, price, for when
ever they get down below 1:: ets. a quart,
they are canned for export.
California litself, produces everything
and—pardon me an Iriihism—what it does
not produce, Oregon. nn one band, 3lexice
on the other. and the islands in the Pacific,
supply. I think you shall see more hinds
of fruits and vegetables in the markets of
San Francisco than any city in the world.
The tropics meet the temperate zones at
this spot, and you get all the products of
both. This state of thins make

quite different from what it is in the East.
Yon can have fresh trout from the Sierra
brooks, cod and bass from the sea, the
juicy steaks of the ranch fed cattle, fatten
ed on alfalfa. and the wonderfully sweet
mutton of the foothills, game of every
description, elk and bear steak, delicious
mussels, shrimps, and oysters, offer variety
of meats and fish encugh to satisfy the
most capricious.
California has every delicacy known to
the eastern States and a thousand that the
eastern States have not. In point of va
riety of production it is simply wonderful.
Of course all thew things arc not procur
able without labor, but he who 'labors can
have them. The strawberries and oranges
wont grow without planting and care,
and the fish don't come out of the sea, ask
ing yon to put them on a gridiron. Rut
it is all here, and labor will bring it.
Altogether. I like California. Twenty
years from date, unless an earthquake swal
lows it, it will in the choice place to live
on the continent. I'mm°.

A Literary Morgue.
Twenty-five years ago. come last April.
there was opened in a small cellar on Ann
Street, New York—which still exists. and
is used 11.)r the same purpose—what may
be called a literary morgue. or a recerion
vault for rejected manuscripts and yester
day's news. For this world moves on so
fast, that the news of yesterday becomes
stale to-day, and to-morrow it is cast out.
What was commenced on the first of April.
1850, has proved to be no foolish speenla
tion. but has steadily grown in size. until
nom a large number of vaults have been
added to the original one, as well as many
upper chambers, extending from 25 Ann
street round the corner to Theatre Alley,
includin: , an old engine-house, used 34
such when the "boys ran wid der machine."
The one basement cellar has grown to
eight, and the little first floor office has
expanded into a large number or ware
rooms on the first and second floors, while
something like forty men and women are
employed to assort and pack the papers
which daily come pouring into the estab
lishment.
Some idea of the amount of business
done may be inferred when it is stated that
last year over three thousand tons of paper
stock were shipped to the paper mills—
enough to keep several of them running.
This stock includes almost everything that
is written upon and printed. from a State
report or Department report to a show
bill or love letter. At times as many as
fifty orders a day are received by mail or
teleg=ph for a man to call at various
places in the city and collect the waste
paper whici, has accumulated in lawyers'
offices, in banking houses, in private resi
dences. and other places. A Wall Street
banking house once sold its stock of waste
paper, the result of fifty years' accumula
tion, for 81,900.
Paper stock is worth gold, and since the
vast increase of book and newspaper pub
lishing in this country, commands a high
price. Every scrap of paper has its value.
for the purpose of being transformed into
new paper. This stock is very interesting
to study—counterfeit money. Confederate
bonds, rejected plays from the Union Square
and other theatres. rejected manuscripts
from all the magazine and newspaper of
fices, envelopes with postage stamps from
all parts of the world. unpopular and old
books (sometimes rare works), the reface
of bookbinders, lawyers' paper:. mercan
tile papers, etc.
Recently a rare copy of history of West
ehe.ster County was found ; at another time
the old parchment deed by which the land
on Schenectady stands, and which was
ceded by the Indians, made its appearance.
Then the bonds of the Central Park Hotel,
or the New York Amusement Company.
came in for redemption, worth so much
per pound.—Home Journal.
Dreaming.
What wondrous consolation comes to us
in those blessed hours when the body lies
resting. The spirit roams at will. nor dis
tance, space. or time can separate us from
our loved. The treasures snatched away
by death arc ours again. Forms only dust
to-day, are with us as in bygone years.
The same tint of hair, the same shade or
eyes; the same rich coloring lip, and ex
panse of brow ; the same expression. The
little peculiarities which endeared them to
our hearts, make dreaming a blessed reali
ty.
How apt we are to exclaim, when awak
ing "Oh. could I dream the same again
Bereaved mother, you are comforted when
your baby nestled in your arms again ; the
little finger thrills you when wandering, as
of old. The wee face breaks into smiles
at your caress ! You would hold baby
thus forever. Alas ! yon must awake—
awake to find an empty cradle. empty arms,
and a longing heart.
There is more pleasure in dreams than
in realities. The awakening trnbi:ters
both. My sister. my brother, have you
awakened from the sunny dreams of youth ?
Are the hopes you cherish dead ? Have
friends forsaken yon ? Illas disease claim
ed you for his prey ? Because that was
so bright, and this 93 dark. will you allow
your life to be a failure ? If you (-vino!. be
what you would, will you not be what you
can ? ('an you kindle ashes ? Will yovs
live aright ?

THE other day a Newark man who west
to his well to draw a pail or wator, found
that it had a strong mineral flavor. A
chemist analyzed it sod round it to con
tain excellent medicinal properties. The
neighbors came in, drank some, and smack
ed their lips with a gusto. It was a big
thing, and no mistake, said the proprietor.
Alas ! a day or two later it was discovered
that one of the vats in a neighboring pa
ent-leather factory was leaking, and the
fellows who bad been taking a dozen gim
es every morning for their health are now
talking of bringing snits for damages
against the well-man.
