His whole frame trembled evidently, though whether with passion or emotion, Captain Burrlll could not for a mo ment decide. As the old man's words found utterance, however, the captain's doubts were quickly put at rest. ''I " Ilarlot 1" cried Jacob Marshall. "You have no claim upon our pity or credulity. Leave the house I1' ' '"Stay where you aro," shouted the cap tain, springing fo his feet, t Jacob Mar shall, whatever this girl may jo, and what ever lint life has been, she has called you by the sacred name of father. Remem bering Ijhis,' and remembering that this night she has saved your property and por- haps your life, can you torn her from your , doors without one word of comfort or of pity?.. . . " Who asked you to interfere?',' blurted the old man, bursting with rago. "D n , me 1 Can'j: I manage affairs under my own roof?" . " You aro not what I thought you,'' said Captain John, forgetting, in the earnestness of his kindly heart, that by boarding Jacob Marshall, ho was risking forever his future prospects. "Surely you, Marion, will not gee your sister turned heartlessly into the street 1" . , "Since you know tho girl so well, sir, and manifest such anxiety in her behalf," Baid Marion, scarcely loss furious than her father "you would do well toprovido for her your self. Marion Marshall can never forget an insult." "I had no intention of insulting any body," replied the captain ; 4(' but this poor child has been under my own protection for a long time, and I should consider myself falso to my trust, and false to my word to lier, did I stand quietly by and see her turned from her father's doors into the street. How she came hero to-night, I know not, nor do I care. I have never yet found cause to distrust her and I belie vo in her now." ' ' Poor Blancho had risen to her feet dur ing this fiery controversy, and now stood in the middle of the room neivously wring ing her hands and repeating, as if to her self, " why didn't he let medio? Why did I over meet him ?" Jacob Marshall, look ing from one to tho other, and purple with apoplectic fury, stamped violontly upon tho floor. "This is all an infernal plot," he scream ed, "an infernal plot to rob mo. Leave the house, sir. Never again cross my threshold, sir, or ever command another ship of mine. I wash my hands of you. Marion, I command you never to speak to this man again. Do you hear? never speak to him." " Your command is unnecessary, father" she said. " Our relations are at an end." She turned haughtily away, and with the queenly step which Captain Burrill had once admired as tho very embodiment of grace, sought her own apartment. Without a word, the captain took down his hat and coat and slowly put them on. When this operation was finished, he turn ed to Blanche, who stood watching him in a kind of speechless bewilderment. " Wo are both In for it," he said, smil ing cheerfully to leassuro her. "Come. I shall want you to take euro of me now." Ho threw a heavy blanket shawl across her shoulders and, taking her by the hand, led her past her father down the stairs. " Send the rest of my luggago to Love joy's he shouted, to the servants as ho pass ed thera. Then, unlocking the street door, he led his trembling charge out into the storm, and, with a spiteful bang, closed the Marshall mansion behind him forever. And so he brought Blanche Marshall back to the old place in Frankfort street and once more placed her in Tom Saddler's oare. Shall it be told that before many months had passed, this rubicund visaged guardian resigned his trust into fitter and more sympathetic hands? Perhaps the reader has not guessed that during all this time poor Blanche had been warming Cap tain Bun-ill's heart for him. For his battle in her behalf, ho askod her for his pay at last, and she gave him her hand and heart, and the love and trust of a true wife. "That's a Muu." j A farmer in Illinois had a noighbor a-; cross the Wabash in Indiana who was keeping a pauper on contract at his ' house. , In corn boeiug season the Illinois man sometimes borrowed his neighbor's j pauper to help in the corn field. Bill j Turner had a pauper working for him, and as some of the people in the neighborhood had never seen a pauper, they were vory anxious to get a peep at him. Consequent ly some twenty of them Joined together one day, armed with thoir shotguns and rilles, and went over to Turner's to see the strauge creature. Thoygot cautiously across the fence, and came up to where the men were working. "Bill," said Silas Brown their spokes man, we've heard that you've got a pauper working for you, and we'd like to see it." Bill thereupon pointed out the object of their curiosity. ' The visitor walked around the astonished pauper and silently survey ed him from every point of view. At last Silas spoke: " Look here, Bill Turner," said he, "you eau't fool ns; that,s a man I" We wish all those In 'charge oC charita ble Institutions bad the same idea about paupers that Silas had.

' ' ' In a few days the Inhabitants of that vil lage were astonished by the appearance of a splendid new barber shop, fur surpassing the other in elegance of appointments, and In which, with new mugs, soaps, razors and perfumes, stood a barber and assistant ready to do duty on the heads and beards of the people. Over the door was inscribed, " William Harrington, Bhavlng find Hair Dressing saloon." ,. j . , The peoplo were not long In ascertaining or slow in availing themselves of" the pTlvil- eges of this establishment) and it is not to be wondorcd that it was crowded and the other deserted.

This of courso tho barber gladly asscnt- ed to. ' "But," said tho old man, on leaving, " take care you never cheat a man by charg ing ten times the usual price for a shave; for It may bo another Old Billy Gibbons." ' A Vermont (Junner. Threo or four years aftertho warof 1812, ! before tho jealously and bitterness that had ! been rankling in the minds of Englishmen and Americans ever sin ce its termination i had passed away, a frigate of which Gre gory was executive officer was lying in the harbor of Rio Janeiro. There were several i English men-of-war in port, and the older officers were careful to prevent collisions between the sailors of tho different ships. One fine day tho gunners of a British ship of the lino and a frigate got permission to . n,- .,., i. n. !.... -i- '., , r, , , ! A lar8e hogshead or other cask wasanchor- d at a suitable distance, about two miles i 0,r-a,,d tUo fnKat0 ftml -evonty-four we re both blazing away nt it. Some half a doz en shots had been fired by each, and the mark had not been hit. With the aid of a glass it could be Been that some of the balls fell near it, whilo others fell short or struck a long way off. There were a large number of ships in port, and the gunnery practice attracted general attention, and many sar castic comments wore made upon the un skilful firing of John Bull. The Yankee sailors were much excited, and their own superior gunnery was loudly asserted. Meantime the firing was continued, and with a 8imnar result. At last ono of the experts of tho frigate, unablo to control himself, implored Mr. Gregory to let him ,ave one crack at tUe barrol. He sternly rebuked and ordered to quarters. The follow was a long-limbed, powerful Vermontor, an otd tar, but with much of his mother's habits and peculiarities hang- board the ship. The Yankee gunner was complimented for the accuracy of his shot, the British sailors were reproached for their clumsy shooting, aud the Vermontor re turned to his vessel filled with grog and with ten guineas in his pocket. Irish Wit. Tho late James T. Brady, was very fond of the natural ready wit of his countrymen. One day, sneaking of this to a friend, he said, " I'll just show you a sample. I'll speuk to any of these men at work, and you'll see that I will get my answer." Stepping up to some men at work on a cel lar near by ; be spoke to them cheerfully: "Good day, good day to you, boys. That looks like hard work for you. "Faix an' it is," was the answer," or we wouldn't be bavin' the doin' of it." "Pleased with this answer, he asked the man what part of Ireland became from. " Ah 1" said Brady, on hearing the name " I came from that region meself." "Yis," said the man, with, another blow of his pick, " there was many nice people in that place ; but I never heard that any of them left it." ' 1 ' '" SUNDAY READING,: ; i,i; ' , Sowing and Keeping, ' V A Christian gentleman was staying a few daya with a farmer, who, though a man of sound sense 'and many amiable traits was a neglecter of religion and knowq to be both passionate and profane, lie' was an excel lent farmer, priding himsolf not a little on the fine appearance and thorough cultnro of his farm, and evidontly was pleased with his guest," wbo was o tfian of winning man ners and extensive information. One day, as the" gentleman walked out iiero; .tho farmer was scattering his seed broadcast in tho fiold, he inquired i ' " What are you sowing,- Mr. H. ?" i 'f Whoat," was the answer. -. " And what do you expect to reap from it?"- .. - . j .- r "Why, whoat of course, "said the farmer. At the close of the day, as all were gath ered in the family circle, some little thing provoked the farmer, and at once he flew into a violent passion, and forgetting in his excitemont the presence of his guest, swore most profanely. The latter who was sitting noxt him, at once, and in a low and serious tone said. " And what are you sowing now ?" The farmer 'seemed startled. A new, meaning at once flashed on him from the question of the morning. ... . ." What !Mio said, in a subdued and thoughtful tone, "do you take such serious views of lifo as that, such serious views of evory mood and word and action?" "Yes," was tho reply j "for every mood helps to form the permanent temper, and for every word we must give account, and evory act but aids to form a habit, and hab its nre to the soul what tho veins and arter ies aro to tho blood, the courses in which it moves, and will move forever. By all these things wo are forming character, and that character will go with us to eternity, and according to it will ho our destiny forever." It was a new and startling view to tho farmer, who though sensible and thoughtful on most matters, had givehlittlo thought to the subject of religion. " Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." American. ' , Proverbs. . , . Amos Atkins was very fond of proverbs. Ho read proverbs, wrote proverbs,and spoko proverbs ; and meet him when you would, he had always a proverb on his lips. Whon he once began to speak, there was hardly any stopping him. When I first met Amos I was on my way to my uncle's. A long walk it was ; but I told him I hoped to be there before night. " Ay, ay," said ho, " Hope is a good breakfast, but a bad supper. Put your best foot foremost, boy, or else you will not bo there . It is a good thing to hopo ; but ho who does nothing but hope is in a very hopeless way. "Have acare of your temper ; for a pas sionate boy rides a pony that runs away with him. Passion has done more mischief in the world than all the poisonous plants that grow in it. Therefore, again I say, have a care of your temper. "Remombcr that the first spark burns tho house down. Quench the first spark of passion, and all will be well. No good comes of wrath ; it puts no money in the pocket, and no joy in the heart. Anger be gins with folly, and ends with repentance. " If you put a hot coal In your pocket, it will burn its way out. Ay, and so will a bad deed that is hidden make itself known. A fault concealed is a fault doubled ; and so you will find it all through life. Never hido your faults, but confess thorn, and sock, through God's help, to overcome them. " Waste not a moment of your timo j for a moment of time is a moment of mercy. "Now, stop forward, boy ; and, as you walk along, think of tho half dozen prov erbs givon you by Amos Atkins." "I'm Too Busy." A merchant sat at his office-desk. Va rious letters were spread out before him. His wholo being was absorbed in tho intri cacies of his business. A zealous friend of religion entered the office. " I want to interest yon a little in a now effort for the cause of Christ," said the good man. " Sir, you must excuse me," said the merchant, "I'm too busy to attend to that subject now." "When shall I oall again, sir?" "I cannot tell. I'm busy every day. Excuse me, sir ; I wish you a good morn ing." , The merchant frequently repulsed the friends of humanity in this mannor. . One morning a disagreeable stranger stepped very softly to his side, laying a cold moist hand upon his brow, and say ing: . "Go home with me I" The merchant laid down his pen ; his bead grew dizzy ; his stomach felt faint and sick ; ho left the counting-room, went home, and retired to his bed-chamber. His unwelcome visitor had followed him, and now took his place by the bodside, whispering, ever and anon : " You must go with me," A cold chill sottled on the merchant's heart : siieotres of ships, notes, houses, aud lands flitted before his excited mind. Still bis pulse beat slower, his heart heaved heavily, thick films gathered over his eyes his tong ue refused to speak.
