The Story Teller OVER A CABIN TABLE In the MS—, Frank Manly and I were homeward bound flout China to Boston, in the splendid clipper ship Sunset. We were children together, and had followed many a butterfly in company. In later years, wo had often ran after those marvelous butterflies in pink sun bonnets—those Will-o'-the-Wisps, in dim. ity—in other fields; rather as rivals though, than side-by-side companions, to con fess it. This was Prank's first voyage as master. He was now, at two-and-twenty, a sailor and a man. I was his only passenger, running home after some years' truancy, in a period between a closing clerkship and an opening partnership at Canton. These wore to me delicious days—care free, and every hour with my old play fellow was communion of a rare order. We were chatting one evening openly— for there was now nothing betweeh us but the cabin table. The light burned just low enough for the quiet dreamy hour that Frank reeled oft' to me the small talk of the dear old town, of which his memory held an nureckonable car go. There was Mary who had married January, and the squire who had drank himself from influence to the poor house. He told of young Skinnem, who in boy hood won marbles, and sold them again to the losers at a hundredl per cent. ad vance . upon regular rates—who never played on the 'Fourth," but opened a Barb-stone bazar of pop beer—of his own brewing—fire-crackers, peanuts and b full line of dried -apple taters of a low grade. Now he was piously loaning money Saturday afternoons to gain Sun day at two per cent. a month, and wonder ing what this would be without interest. He had bought a book, "Business in Heaven," which proved to him that the occupants of earth are continued above. He dwelt with miserly unction upon the life to come. The steward. now appeared with our evening coffee. Then came the usual ci gar, and. we swung apart in meditation as lightly as two vessels parting company after exchanging sea courtesies. "Captain," said I, suddenly, as if some thing had just come to mind, though the question had been balancing ou my tongue for an hour— " Hal," interrupted my companion, "don't Captafti me off deck, here under the cabin light, if you love me." "Well then, my modest old deck mate, how is that little Amy Woodson whom you used to endow so bountifully iu school days with pickled limes and chew ing gum ?" M' captain—the splendid fellow—to show his unconcern, breathed a couple of smoke wreaths out of his mouth, and replied with counterfeited sadness: ."Hal, I shall never have faith again in the power of pickles with school girls, and I am a doubter forever of the virtue of spruce gum. So,so, sly bey, you were on that tack too, were you ? but you may as well emulate the example of your forefathers and throw that chest of breakfast tea overboard, for Father Wood- son bas gone where tea drinking is nei ther a blessing nor a sin; No, no, Hal, J snow s Poetry. "TRUTH AND RIGHT : MONTROSE, PA., WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1873. Roy Elwell weathered us all. By Jove, to think of it! The little toad that I nursed through vulgar fractious and the rule of three—who never had spunk enough to kiss a girl under four eyes—to marry Amy I . But the ways of women are wondrous, HalL The sunset is my choice. tau% she a beauty j lam wed. ded to her. . . Then he laughed, drew himself npoind I thought, How could a woman resist you my handsome captain ? "Poor pass, she has had a confounded rough way of it," he continued. "What do you mean ?" "Why haven't you heard of it?" "Vague rumors only. Her father, cash ier of the bank. Wasn't there trouble? Was it all true? Proud old mau. His heart broke, I fancy. For heavens sake, Frank, tell me what you know," I de manded. . . -Well, well, old gaill•driver, don't rough up so. Ido know about it, and, though I 211* it, more than any but e very few iu the old town. I never was any hand at a yaru, but it you'll have it,may be 'twill harrow you some, seeing you were a little sweet on Amy." "Come, come, captain—tthere, chummy then—begin. But, by George, if you ex aggerate one iota, I'll call the Sunart—a clumsy old nooker." "Well, I needn't ask if you remember Amy," began my vis-a-vis, tormentingly "nor tell you of her step iu the dance. of the color of her hair and eyes, nor what her laugh was like, nor what a woman she has grown. Let me see, you left home in forty— " ••Eight." 'And you rememner General Wood son, then, as a cheerful, elastic old gentle man, who, at the Lank counter, told off the notes with a celerity little less than magic, to our unaccustomed eyes. He was a favorite everywhere, you know.— With a lad's help he performed all the litho: in the bank, except when Amy would come down once in a. while to give him a lift on the books. Amy was her father's housekeeper, too, her mother just after you left home, I guess.— You see the young girl had fish enough to fry. For all, she alwuis hail a spare hour and some mekcack of her needle work for us sailor bys' when alsout leav ing home. And then the old general would esiy. linek to you, my lad,' in a mighty good manner that won us. . - -But I never could see that she favored one much above another. Once I had bid den her gooil-bv. I remember, and after ward seeing Ben Boltiope call at her house, I stood out of sight and timed him —you laugh—watch in hand, and I had the better of him some odd minutes. or it may have been seconds. I always think of it when I meet Ben's widow in the Street. Ben married the milllber's daugh ter, Melissa Bliss. whose. mune we young sea-diigs changed to .Irlissy Blissy. lie went off to Sagapore a month after. and was never heard from. Iler widowhood began, you see. as soon as her honey moon ended. Melissa wears mourning fer him yet, and always will. And Ben was worthy of all her tears—as good a fellow ever learned a rope. Go and see her, But where am I running? Let's tuck ship. "You know the Woodson homestead on the corner of India street. Yes. lint you don't know—as we young fellows never think of such things—that the grand looking place had been in the Woodson family for some generations, and that the general's father lett it to him eneumbet ed. The mortgage teas never lifted by the latter. The general lived pretty well, thinking his positiourequired it. 'Then iu an evil time all Bramblehead ran wild with a land fever—a speculation that promised to make-the poor rich, and the rich happy. All the old stockings in all the dark corners in town were emptied of their shilling to buy land in Roostock. Why people, old people, took money out of their bibles that they had laid away to bury them, to invest. expecting it to re turn them a hundred fold before it would be needed. Burial day always seems so distant to ns, especially if there is a chance to make any money to-morrow. "Amy's father was bitten by the going madness. He gathered the little he could together. He drew his salary regularly, and let his household bills run. He sold wrongfully a few blank shares that he held in trust for Amv, which an uncle had willed to her, and invested the money in the golden land, secretly in the name of a brother in Ohio. "The voyage turned ouP mighty poor. The land was well timbered, but a hun dred miles away from river or tidewater. 'The bubble burst. So the rich became poor. and the poor became happy. think ing how their betters bad ,come down.— They were sure of a burial, for nobody was ever too poor for that. "The old gentleman aged. He grew fretful and absent minded. The grocer and the butcher called again and again for their dues—at the front door, too.— The milk boy was even more malicious. He chalked on the garden gate, 'Warning,' pay up, 01' boss,' and chuckled to himself around the corner, as ho peeped and saw Betty Floyd, the old domestic, spend many minutes spelling out, and many more in scourino . ' off the words,and shak ing her cloth at the empty street Thrift had abandoned the household. "Amy knew but little of the truth. He l i said he had only the amount of two or three gnarters' salary in the lamented land slide. She saw the failing step. and that he did not like to have her note it. He was glad, though of her help at the bank, which was needed now oftener than ever. The toil began to tell on little Amy. She didn't lose her beauty, though. I don't believe she will ever lose that. My boy. a I m tedious ?" "Very. Go on." "Don't blow your smoke in my eyes, then, or you'll swear I'm crying." "Well, well ; forward." "Where was I ? This went on a • • fie. the old man keeping the ship on the old tack, close hauled, flag at'the peak, and pumps going. But there came a day when the world could do little for Abram Woodson, and he could do lin for the world. One morning, when Amy was helping him on his coat to go to the bank, he staggered and fell upon the sofa. The GOD AND OUR COUNTRY." doctor came and said "Paralysis." He revived somewhat but the old general was a wreck of the saddest kind. Lie couldn't speck an intelligible word• Amy became bis hands, eyes and mind. Roy Elwell was appointed acting cashier, for the directors would not supersede him at once. He lingered for Mouths with his faculties at sixes and sevens. One day ha said'something that sounded like 'May tenth,' and soon after he dropped anchor for the list "The bank officers, when examining his cash and accounts, discovered a de ficency of between one and tiio thousand dollars. And they who had held the old general as incorruptible said. 'There is none true under the son." His bonds men were called upon, and the few, which finally means the many, thought they knew the cushier had used the funds in his keeping. "Amy, living secluded wits her old do mestic, Betty Floyd, was ignorant of thel affairs at the bunk. She knitted worsted work, and fitted ball dresses for her school mates of old days. Young Skin nem offered her what he called his heart. By Juve, twenty young fellows would have come forward for her hand,but there was something in her way that wouldn't let a man with a decent heart offer it.— Skinuem thought his magnanimity twen ty per cent. above par. He had inherited from his father the mortgage on the Woodson homestead, which he threatened to foreclose. Trouble came in troops. "Looking over her father's papers one day, Amy discovered a note addressed to her. It was in the neat hand of the gen eml. It told her that he wrote this fur her in case anything should happen to him— thut the world, after he was gone, might judge him amiss. That fe had. it is trio wronged her, his sweet, beloved daughter, that he had been false to his trusteeship; that their means were all gone with the broken land bubble; that his heart and thoughts were long sick with the secret of it ; that May the 10th of such a year, he had found his cash unaccountably short, and no man yet knew it. If he liv ed long enough he should make it up ; yes, make it up, every cent; but Amy mustiwait for hers; perhaps he could nev er make that up. unit it he did not would his darling daughter forgive him ? "Amy bowed beneath this blow. Now appeared the reas , in of the unpaid bills and the ill-supplied household. And the thought cattle to the stricken girl, bow once she hail proposed to sell a share of her bank stock and buy a gold watch and chain, and on New 1 - ear's morning she found them tinder her breakfast cup. a present front her Whet. I get all this from sister Nell. of whom she made a con- Willa. Yes, llal, Amy bowed as the lily bows when blown upon. She sent fur Roy Elwell. t• he pressed Roy until she drew from the reluctant fellow the affair as viewed by the directors. It was a plain ease to them. A land enterprise--all op liortunity for making money—and the casli ler yielding to temptation, borrowed the funa4 of the bank, thinking to enrieh himself, and return the money. They were all the noire ready to look on the dark side for him, as many of their dol lars had gone the way of his. The fever had been among them too. •"This point of %iew was not plain to Amy. Through Elwell, who had been made cashier after the de:alike the gener al. she obtained permission from the otli ,ws to make a personal examination of the books, to be aided by Roy, Her knowledge of bank routine was now ser viceable. "About this time I returned frOm an Indian voyage. I served as boy in the bank awhile, you remember, and Roy with her consent, invited me to lend them a hand. I was glad fur her sake, not to say my own. "Hal, are you yawning?" "Spin away, spin away, my old boy." "Well, we met and made our plans, agreeing to make researches after Elwell had finished his day's work. By George, Hal, you ought to have seen the girl. Her perceptions were all quickened by pride nod love for the honor of the old man.— The theory of the directors was not the theory of the daughter. She admitted nothing but the existence of an error that might yet be reeealed. Roy and I followed her with a low consent. We be gan. We turned to that May the 10th, which he mentioned in the note, and named on the night or his speechlessness. We took the first entry of the deposits; we analyzed it. If bills, it was not so no ted ; if checks, we followed them to their final entry. And so through each and all. Amy surprised us by her thoroughness. Items that Roy and I were willing to cheek, as being correct beyond question, she looked to again and again before dis missing. Tho general had been much harrowed by the trouble to make any systematic analysis of the day's transac tions at the time, Who knows but the error, if one, would have been detected had he called his quick eyed daughter in to his confidence? "We finally arrived at the end of the day's labor, and summing up the figures, we found the balance on hand was two thousand dollars lees than the amouet re quired. Here now was a chance for spec ulation. What had become of the sum ? Amy was not long deciding that its equiv alent had been misled—some check mis placed; but this was merely guess. work. "Her proposition at the next meeting was to search thoroughly the papers of the safe. Not succeeding there, books and papers in the vault were taken, one by one,and turned,leat by leaf. Through? I think - so. it was a slow, laborious pro cess. Her patience was astonishing.— Her glance seemed as though 'twould burn the papers it fell on. But, they could not reveal a secret not in their keeping. "Where was the waste paper put? In a basket. And emptied where? Boy coul n't my.: The old woman who swept e • .ms wits called. She emptied it, when all, into the dark closet. Some timed' when out of shavings she used a little of it to start the fire. Amy turned pale. The closet 'was cosigned for the next day. Was it narrowed to this, the chance of finding a valuable paper in the rubbish P She would have had more heart, but for the knowledge of those oce casional handfuls taken for kindling.— Piece by piece we went through thin ac- cumulated heap of duty, gone by papers and without nieces& "Roy and I had not forseen the end— failure. We didn't anticipate having to see that noble girl sit down diseotiolata, with the tears falling upon heti' ration hands. By joye, I wouldn't have begun the work. It was joy for ma told:Mr-with her all the way, but .wheu that labor was brought to the hater end—to sea hope go out of her heart by her blessed blue eyes! Roy attended her home. "The nest day he and I - Were seated in the bank, talking over the "Roy said I, "the Borneo, Charlie Lanie,ie due; can't we see, from the skylight iu the gar ret, if the is in the bay? ' "He proposed going up to ,see. cloy went ahead and opened the skylight.— Theplace was dusty as a grave, and just as jolly. Tnere was no Borneo to sight. Account books and bundles of papers lay here and there, with dust upon them nearly an inch deep. And over these things that had one day a meaning and a value and neither now, the spider had woven their homes, and 'were having in turn their little cares. We looked about us curiously. Roe remarking a book on top of a pile, less dusty than the others, pro. posed to me to take it down stairs as a, curiosity. I did. The skylight was low ered, and two sunbeams, that had vanish ed as we opened the light, came back again, and lay athwart one another like bars of dusty gold. Down stairs we sat and , examined our prize. It was not a bunk book, but a ledger,evidcntly belong ing to the general, and filled with records of dealings long years ago before, when in the wood and coal business. The wri ting was neatness itself. Rarely a blot or an erasure did we see, as Roy sat rather indifferently turning the leaves. Occa sionally there remained and unbalanced account. The fuel had became smoke and ashes long ago, and the debtor dust, may be. Here was one Job Jones, charg ed with a cord of wood a generation ago. Out of this scanty material we imagined a history fur this later Job. We invented. for him little pleas for his delinquency; that he had married a wife; that he had kft the town; that he never had it; that it was only half u cord; that he paid' for it at the time, ete. 'Nevertheless, it ta a shame, Job Jones, for yon to owe forever for the fuel that boiled your kettle, and blessed your hearthstone, and, perchance. warmed to life one of the innumerable little Jonesess, we concluded. Don't his ears burn ? "While we were laughing over this,the door softly opened, end Amy Woodson appeared. I had almost expected 'twas the ghost of the said Jones. "She wished again to see the book con taining those entries on the 10th of May. Roy brought it. Amy. sat at. one side of the table; Elwell and I at the other. ,She ponred over the page, as her father, had, doubtless, done before her, with dreamy, misty eyes. We mentioned the reason of our mirth. I took the book, carelessly and openea it. Roy and Amy looking oil as I turned one leaf then three or four together; when "My heavens!" claimed. They started. Amy leaned over the table. Her breath went and came quickly. By jove, I can feel it now, do my cheek. Never a wind can blow -thataway. There, staring us all in the law were two one thousand dollar bills. I swear I saw joy go into her eyes. "It was pretty clear to her. There was fresh writing on the credit side of an ac count, The old general had bad the book from the garret and upon his table that 10th of Mey. Exchanging the hills for some customer, he had laid, them on the open book and absently closed it. it was then returned to its old place in, the garret. His mind being 'distracted by his pecuniary trouble, the transaction of the - loins had made no mark upon his memory. This was our theory. "Amy had dreamed, singularly, thatehe was greatly comforted by a book, and this was the reason of her coming and calling for one'we bad first examined. "And yon say Amy married Roy ?" "Ay, ay; and their boy they've named Frank Manly Elwell. turn in, Hal, I must look after my girl, the Sunset." I obeyed, and in a moment more I thought I landed on a wharf in Bramble head, and the first sign that met my eye was "Job Jones. Dealer in Coal, Wood and bark, For Cash Only." , A beak mi.' ed, fiery eyed little old min leaned over an old fashioned door that was divided in the middle, half shut and half open„ "Job Jones." said I, "Frank Manly and Roy Elwell have judged you unjustly.— That cord of wood they thoughs you ow ed for," I continued, as his classy eyes seemed to demand an explanation. The little man was silent, but he gave me a look which said plainly enough, "What is human justice to me or injustice?" And Jub Jones, for I could not think or him as any other being,bevame instant ly a statute of ice ; a tear trickled from each eye,and another trembled splendidly item its nose, and in the sunshine they became— I awoke, and instead of Job Jones my eyes fell upon Jim the steward, who was setting the breakfast in the cabin of the Sunset. on the table over which this tale was told to me as I tell it to you=—only that drowsy gleam of the cabin light falls not upon the paper, and never will:—The Aldine. A GEonark editor describing • a wed ding lately, said the bride "looked a very lily, cradled in the golden glimmer of come evening lake— a foam fleck, showy, yet stn-Rushed, crowning the ripplingeof some soft Southern sea."

Tribute to Women At an annnal banquet of the Washing ton Correspondent's Club, the followiug Out was read : "Woman. The pride of the professions and She iewel of ours." To which Mark Twain responded as folkiara t, Human. intelligence cannot estimate what we owe to woman, sir. She sews on buttons, sbe roes tit in at the church fairs, she conlides in us, tells us whatever she min find out abont the private affairs of her.rieighbors, she gives us a rime of her mind sometimes, and sometimes all of it.

Some few yearsego a new fire company was organized atleading. and the mem bers one evening thought they would have a little;innocent fun at the expense of Hopkins,, their President. They decided to rush around with the engine to Hop- Irina' house after dark, to throw up their ladders, pull out their hose, climb on the roof, and scare him with the belief that his dwelling was ou fire. But that very day Hophina moved out of the bouse,and a Presbyterian clergyman moved in, with out the company being aware of the change. So; about 8 o'clock the humorists dashed out; and want through all the rnovenients,- getting , on the roof and splashing Water around, and creating a terrific distort:lmmo generally. A rival company, noticing what was going - on. al so hurried to the scene, and without un derstanding the joke, attached their hose to a plug, smashed in the front windows, and began to empty a two inch stream on the family of that Presbyterian clergyman. They squirted into all the rooms, split up the window abutters with an% axe, broke down the front door,"ran out the furni ture, tore off the shingles and bawled through trumpets until the hired girl had convulsions on the kitchen stairs. The first amipany tried to explain, but the new comers thought an effort was being made to get them 'out of the way,, and a fight ensued, and presently firemen were sliding off the roof, and pelting down the chimneys, and bleeding ever the entry carpet, and having boisterous encounters with spanners , and brass horns on the stairs.
