MARY II ROW W.
T L. F. WILLI.
She dwelt where long the wintry tlmwert
lluld undisputed away,
Where frowning April drives the flow-rs
Far down the lane of May.
A limple, rustic child of song,
Beared in a chilling tone,
The idol of a household throng
The cberianed one of home.
Nona sang her praise, or heard her fame
Beyond her oath e town ;
She bore no fancy-woven name,
"Twas simple Mary Brown.
Her free were not a shining black,
Nor yet a heavenly blue,
ftrey tigit be haiel,or alack !
gome less poetio hue ;
Indeed I mind me, long ago,
One pleasant summer day
A pwning stranger caught their glow,
I think he called them gray.
Tet when with earnestness they burned
Till ether eyes grew dim ; .
Their outward tint was ne'er discerned
The spell was from within.
A novelist, with fancy's pen
Would scarcely strive to tract
Tre 11 her fairy heroine
Of machless niein, and grace,
A model for the painter's akill,
Or for tht sculptor's art
Her form might not be called yet still
It bore a gentle heart ;
The while it fondly treasured long
Love's lightest whispered tone, .
In other hearts sht sought no wrong
Shi knew none in her own.
Though never skilled in fashion's school,
To sweep the trembling keys,
Or itrike the harp by studied rulo,
A listening throng to please ;
1st Kill when anguish rent the soul,
And fever racked the brnin,
Her lingers knew that skillful touch
Which soothed the brow of pain
And widow thanks, and orphan tears
Had owned her tender care,
While little children gathered near
H-r earnest love to share.
I might furgot tht queenly datnt
Of high and courtly birth,
Dricending from an ancient nnnie
Among the sons of earth ;
I stares recall the danling eyes
Of htr, the village belle,
Who caused so many rural sighs
From rudie hearts to swell j
Yet never can I cease to twn
While future years shall roll,
Thy passing beauty, Mry Brown
Ths betuty of the toul.

striking-looking individual of tho croup
was a stout, 1 mare built man, Apparently
between fatly and sixty years of ago, with
grayish hair nnd whiskers, sullen brow,
una keen eyes, peculiarly sinister in ex
pression. Everything in his mannor and
appearance betokened a gross but vigorous
comiwund of the bully, tho blackleg and
the sensualist 111 his naturo. Ho was less
noisy than his companions, in fact, had
apsed into complete silence during the
. -u,-i,Uur 01 uie game, and was evi
oently struggling to conceal or to suppress
some power.ul emotion. The thick lips
quivered, tho corrugated brows wero knit
c osely together, and the nervous tension
at the corners of the mouth displayed the
working of intense nnd ulmost uncontrol
lable passion, lie had bet heavily nnd
lost constantly during the sitting, and was
evidently susnieious thnt tim rri,,
not been fairly conducted on the part of
us opponents, lie had staked nnd lost
Ins last wager, a very largo one, when he
rose sullenly from the table, seized his hat,
una, without a word pf explanation left
1110 room.
In less than half an hour lie returned,
threw down a gingling bundle upon the
table, aud bantered Lib companions, who
still lingered in the saloon, for a renewal
of the game. They readily accepted the
challenge, nnd all lour resumed their for
mer seats nt the table.
" Sow, gentlemon," said the challenger,
placing n revolver upon the tuble close at
hand, "fair play ull round the board. I
have lost all my money, nnd want a chance
to win some of it back. I have here," he
cotitinued, displaying, nt the same time,
tho contents of the bundle he had thrown
upon the table, "a reserved fund upon
which I draw whenever cash gives out. It
consists, as you see, of an assortment of
trinkets of one kind or another, which I
have picked op hero nnd there in my wan
derings, and keep for rainy days, many of
which, you know, come round'in the life
time of men of our profession. Some of
these pieces 1 have had for well-nigh
thirty or forty years. I have rarely had
occasion to draw upon this fund, and when
I do I ahv.is select the pieces last acquired
for use. Tho older ones have become a
sort of old acqaintances with me, nnd I
hate to part with them. But I have tak
en ft notion, 1 don't know why, to put up
some of my very oldest pieces to-night.
They have been idle long enough, nnd it
is time they we.eof some use in the world."
Thus speaking, ho proceeded to select
from the bundle several golden und silver
trinkots and jewels, and deposited them
in a pile upon the table. The remainder
he carefully wrapped up, nnd put in an '
inner sido-pocket of his coat. I
'.These," said he, "me ull that I shall 1
risk to-night. If you are .trilling to stake
money against them, wo can easily decide '
upon the terms of tho wager. If you win, I
no valuation of the jewels will bo neces-
sary, for they will be yours whether they
be worth little or much. If I win, then !
you nre to pay mo so much money as will '
be equal in value to the jewels staked; j
that value to be determined by any jewel
ler, of good credit, in tho city."
The first reply made by his associates to
this proposal, was to draw each a revolver '
and place it on the table. They were all
desperate men. accustomed to scenes like '
the present, nnd were, therefore, neither 1
intimidated nor surprised by the hostile I
demonstration of their comrade. They a?
sen ted to tho wager of their money against
his jewels, upon the terms lie proposed
lor ussessnig ttieir relative value, and the
game began.
The stakes were soon lost nnd won. The
jewels passed from their former owner to
new hands, nnd the loser satisfied that he
could neither intimidate his opponents,
nor match them in skill, bore his loss with
apparent equanimity, and nnnounced his
intention to play no more that night. At
a late hour, therefore, the parties left the
saloon, and sought their respective lodg
ings. The next day the winners exchanged
their jewels and silver trinkets, for art i-
cles better suited to their taste and neces-
sities, with an obscure dealer in that line,
who kept a small shop in the extreme
west end of Dauphin-street. Tho respect
able jewellers of tho city refused an ex
change, either not liking the articles, or
fearing what is often done in cases of
barterage with unknown adventurers a
reclamation of them as stolen property.

lie had como honestly by ihem, gloried
in their glittering brightness, and resent-
ect, as ft personal insult, any ivllect ion
upon their qualities und purity fionuilloy.
uiiu inoiniMg A. , who was lia -
bitually an curly riser, came out of his
state-room at an earlier hour than usual,
for tho purpose of taking a promenade
upon the hurricane deck ol the bout. 15en,
who was also very wukeful, rising with the
first peep of day, was already up and en
gaged in his morning toilet. Ilis the
custom of his class, very punctiliously ob
served, as soon as tho patron emerges
irom ins room in me morning, to approach
1. . , . ll"
inn, brush in hand, for the Mirnose of
dusting his clothes. Aa soon, therefore,
as Ben saw A. M mine fmth into
the cabin, l.e desisted from hi own toilet,
seized Ins brush, aud hni -rung up to his
patron, began tho customary morning
purgation of his apparel, lie hud, howe
ver, made but a few passes uiih hi. brush,
when one of his silver sleeve but ions be
came unclasped, and fell "poii the door.
Ben picked it up, nnd began to replace it
in the sleeve of his shirt. A. M ,
impatient nt tho delay, or wishing, per
haps, to indulge in a little, faeetiousness
nt the expenso of his waiter, exclaimed,
in n bantering tone of voice,
"Come, Ben, don't keep me standing
here for you to fix those gewgaws in your
wristband. They are nothing but pewter,
anyhow, and I am surprised that a lxy of
your cloth will condescend to wear them."
This was enough. The retleciion upon
his sleeve-buttons went like a dagger to
the heart of Ben. Had a fellow-servant
thus questioned their purity, lie would
have held him to a personal account upon
the spot. But it was a white man above
ill, his patron who dealt the blow, and
he could, therefore, only parry it by res
pectful remonstrance ngaiint its injustice.

bought these sleevebuttons in the city of
Mobile, nnd gave a good price for them.
I am sure they are silver, nr I would not
wear them. I nm entirely above trying to
pass oft' pewter for silver." Here, you shall
see and judge for yourself whether they
be the mere pewter gewgaws that you sa'v
mey nre.
.Saying thit-, he detached both buttons
from his sleeves, nnd deposited them in
tho hand of A. M , who began, in
jest, an apparently minute scrutiny of the
make ami quality of the articles. An ex
pression, however, of deep thoughtfulness
soon settled upon his f ice. lie turned the
buttons over and over, and examined them
closely in overy part. They werc old-fashioned
nnd massive, with two letters en
graved upon each of the four faces. The
longer A. M looked at them, the
mote deeply absorbed nnd agitated he be
came. Though eminently secretive and
undemonstrative m temperament, he could
with difficulty, suppress tho powerful emo
tion which began to communicate a nerv
ous tremor to his lips nnd hands. The
pallor almost of death overspread his coun
tenance, nnd he stood motionless as mar
ble, absorbed in a prolonged inspection of
the buttons.
Ben witnessed, with ill-concealed do
light, the agitation of his patron, nttri ju
tingit to the discovery which lie had now
made of the undoubted metallic purity of
the buttons, and the regret which he muni
experience at the injustice done lioth them
and the owner, by tho cruel declaration
that they were mere pewter gew-gaws.
Elated with his triumph, ho exclaimed,
" You see, r lister, tho buttons nre pure,
solid silver. 1 am sure you wero only

Why, mister, i am ns much ubove wear

surfaces. Maddened by the review, the
(ires of vengeance burned fiercely as ever

As soon ns the boat reached Mobile, A.

which the buttons had been purchased.
It was easily found, b.-ing a plucc much
frequented by Ben and his associates. The
proprietor was a dark-visaged, sullen, suspicious-looking
personage, with a villain
ously low forehenrd, und a standard of
morals no higher than his cranium.
Displaying the sleeve-buttons upon the
counter, A. M inquired if thcv hud
been sold at that shop to Ben, and if mi,
how bad the proprietor himself come into
the possession of them. Staggered by the
blunt directness of these interrogatories,
nnd apprehensive, doubtless, that a detec
tive, perhaps a police, investigation of
some sort was on foot, the huckster denied
flatly that he had cither sold the buttons
to Ben, or had ever laid eyes on them be

A GOOD STORY.
About thirty miles above Wilmington,
North Carolina, lived three fellows, na
med respectively, Baihani, Stone, and
Gray, cn the banks of the North Em
Riv er. They came d nvn to Wilmington
in a u small row-boat, and made fast to
the wharf. They had a limo of it in the
city, but for fear they would get dry be
fore getting home, they procured a jug of
whiskey, und after dark of a black night
too, they embarked in their boat, expect
ing to reach homo in the morning. They
rowed awny with all the energy that three
Jialf tipsey fellows could muster, keeping
up their spirits in the darkness by pouring.

thought they must bo pretty near
home, and seeing through the dini gray of
morning a house on the river sid Stone
said :
"Well, Barham, we've got to your place
at bust."
"If this is my place, (said Baihum.)
somebody has been putting up n lot'
outhouses since I went away yesterday;
but I'll go Rshuio and look about it, und
see where we are, if you'll hold her to."
Barham disembarks, takes observation,
nnd soon comes stumbling along back, ami
says :
"Well, I'll be whipped if we ain't at
Wilmington hero yet; and what's more
