Maria Harlan was alone in the world her mother just buried. She was a beautiful brown haired girl, with soft, shy eyes of violet gray, and ro sy lips compressed to a firmness far be yond her years. For after all she was scarcely seventeen, and so Deacon Gray was telling her, as he sat by the fire spreading his huge hands over the tardy blaze, and asked: " JJut what are you goin' to do to 'am your bread and butter, child?" " I don't know I haven't thought Mamma had an uncle ia New York who " Yes, yes I've been told about him hs was mad 'cause your mother didn't marry just to suit him, wasn't he?" Marian was silent. Deacon Gray waited a few minutes, hoping she would admit him into her secret meditations; but she did not, and the Deacon went away home, to tell his wife that "that Harlan gal was. the very queerest crea ture that he had ever come across?" In the meanwhile Marian was very bu sy packing her few scanty things into a little carpet bag, by the weird flickering light of the dying wood fire. " I will go to New York," said she to herself, setting her small pearly teeth firmly together. "My mother's uncle shall hear my cause pleaded through my own lips. Oh, I wish, my heart would not throb so wildly! I am no longer meek Minnie Harlan; I am an orphan ill alone in the world who must fight life's battles with my own single hands!" Lower Broadway at seven o'clock, p. m. What a babel of crashing wheels, hurry ing humanity, and conglomerate noise it was! Minnie Harlan satin the corner of an express oSce, under the flare of gas lights, surrounded by boxes, and wonder ing whether the people ever went crazed in this perpetual din and tumult. Her dress wa3 plain gray poplin, with a shab by old-fashioned litUe straw bonnet tied with black ribbons, and a blue veil, while her article of baggage, the carpet bag, lay in her lap. She had sat there two hours, and was very, very tired. " Poor little thing," thought the dark haired clerk near her, who inhabited a eort of wire cage under a circlet of gas lights. And then he took up his pen and plunged into a perfect Atlantic Ocean of accounts. "Mr. Evans?" iir v The dark haired clerk emerged from his cage with his pcu behind his car, in obedience to the beckoning finger of his supeiior. " I have noticed that young woman sit ting there for some time how came she hereT' " Expressed on, sir, from Millington, Iowa arrived this afternoon." As though Minnie Harlan were a box or a paper parcel. " Who for?" " Consigned to Walter Harrington, Esq." " And why hasn't she been called for?" " I sent up to Mr. Harrington's address to notify him some time ago; I expect an answer every moment." ' Very odd," said the gray-headed gentleman, taking up hi3 newspaper." " Yc?, fir, rather." ' Some three-quarters of an hour after wards, Frank Evans came to the pale girl's side with an indescribable pity in Lis ha zel eyes. "Miss Harlan, wo have sent to Mr. Harrington's residence " Minnie looked up with a feverish red upon her cheek, and her hands clasped tightly on the handle of the faded carpet bag. " And we regret to inform you that he sailed for Europe at twelve o'clock this day." A sudden blur came over Minnie's eyes she trembled like a leaf. In all her calculations, she made no allowance for an exigency like this. " Can we do anything further for you ?" questioned the young clerk politely. " Nothing no one can do any thing note I Prank Evans had been turning away, but something in the piteous tone of her voice appealed to every manly instinct within him. " Shall I tend you to any other of your frienda?" " I have no friends." " Perhaps I can have your things cent to some quiet family hotel?" 31 ionic opened her little leather purse and showed him two ten cent pieces, with a emile that was almost a tear. " This is all the money I have in th world, sir!" ' So young, so beautiful, and so desolate ! Frank Evans had been a New Yorker all .his life, but he had never met with an exactly parallel case to this, lie Lit tue end of his pen in dire perplexity. " Put what are you going to do?" " I don't know, sir. Isn't there a work house, or some such place, I could go to, until I could find something to do?" " Hardly." Prank Evans could scarce ly help smiling at poor Minnie's simplicity. " They arc putting out the lights, and preparing to close the office," said Min nie, starting to her feet. " I must go somewhere." " Miss Harlan," said Prank quietly, " my home is a Yery poor one I am on ly a five hundred dollar clerk but I am sure my mother will receive you under her roof for a day or two, if you can trust me. " Trust you?" Minnie looked at him through violet eye3 obscured in tears. " Oh, sir, I should be so thankful!" " How late you are, Frank ! Here give me your overcoat it is all powdered with Bnow, and " But Prank interrupted his bustling, cherry-cheoked mother, as she stood on tip-toe to take off his outer wrappings. " Hush, mother ! there ia a young la dy down stairs." . " A young lady, Frank?" " Yes, mother; expressed on from Iowa to old Harrington, the rich merchant. He sailed for Europe this morning, and she is entirely alone. Mother, she looks like poor Blanche, and I knew you would n't refuse her a corner here until she could find something to do." - Mrs. Evans went to the door and called chcrrily out. " Come up stairs, my dear you're wel come as flowers in May! Prank you did quite, right; you always do.". The days and weeks passed on, and still Minnie Harlan remained an inmate of 3Irs. Evan's humble dwellinrr. " It seems just as though she had taken our dead Blanche's place' said the cozy little wid ow: "and she' i3 so useful about the house. I don't know how I managed without her." "Now Minnie you are not in earnest about leaving us to-morrow?" " I must, dear Mr3. Evans. Only think I have been here two months to-morrow; and the situation as governess is ve ry advantageous." " Very well, I shall tell Frank how ve ry obstinate you are." " Dearest Mrs. Evans, please don't! Please keep my secret." " What secret is it that is to be so reli giously kept?" asked Mr. Frank Evans, coolly walking into the midst of the dis cussion with his dark hair tossed about by the wind, and his hazel brown eyes sparkling archly. " Secret!" repeated Mrs. Evans, ener getically wiping her dim spectacle glasses. "Why, Minnie is determined to leave us to-morrow." "Minnie!"" " I must, Frank, I have no right 'fur ther to trespass on your kindness. No right, eh? Minnie do you know that the house has been a different house since you come into it? Do you suppose wc want to loose our little sunbeam?" Minnie smiled sadly, but her hand felt very cold and passive in Frank's warm grasp " You'll stay Minnie?" " No." She shook her head determin edly. " Then you must be made to stay," said Frank. " I've missed something of great value lately and I hereby arrest you on suspicion ofthe theft!" " Missedomething!" Minnie rose and turned red and white. " Oh, Frank, you can never suspect me!" " But I do suspect you. In fact, I am quite sure that the article is in your pos session." "The article!" " My heart, Miss Minnie! Now look here; I love you, Minnie Harlan, and I will be a good and true husband to you. Stay and be my little wife!" So Minnie Harlan, instead of going out as a governess, according to the pro gramme, married the dark-haired clerk in Ellison's Express Office. They were very quietly married, early in the morning, and Frank took Minnie home to his mother, and then went calm ly about his business in the wire cage, under the circlet of gas-lights. "Evans!" " Yes, sir." Frank, with his pen behind his car as in yore, quietly obeyed the behest of the gray-headed official. " Do you remember the young woman who was expressed on from Millington, Jowa, two months since ?" . " Yes, fir I remember her." A tall, silver-headed gentlemen here interposed with eager quickness :V; " Where is she? I am her uncle, Wal ter Harrington. I have just returned from Paris when the news of her arrival reached me! I want her; she is tho only living relative left me 1" "Ah I but, sir," said Frank, "you can't have her." "Can't have her? What do you mean? Has anything happened?" " Yes, sir, something has happened : Miss Harlan was married to me this morn ing. Walter Harrington started. " Take me to her," ho suid hoarsely. " I cau't be parted from my only relative for a mere whim." " I wonder if he calls the marriage ser vice and wedding ring mere whims." thought honest Prank ; but he obeyed in silence. " Minnie," said the old man, in falter ing accents, " you will come to me and bo the daughter of my old age ? I am rich, Minnie, and you are all I have in tho world." , t But Minnie stole her hand through her husbaud's arm. " Dearest uncle, ho was kind to me nlin T wns most desolate and alone. 1 cannot leavo my husband, uncle Walter I love htm I " Then you must both of you come and be mv children." said the old man dog cedly.

PLAIN WORDS WITH THE EIG E0TS.! BY REV. ALFULD TAYLOR. Come, boys, let us have a few plain talks not sermons, nor lectures, nor es says, nor treatises, but talks with such big boy3 as may want to take part in them. The Big Boys are not all dead yet. True, some of them have turned into "gentle men" before their time ; and there are others who will look off in another direc tion if they hear anybody called "Boy 1" It is no disgrace to be, or to have been, a ooy ; ami tne maio numan being wno iries 10 jump into mannoou, shipping me boy part of his cxistensc, is sure to make a stilted entrance into a sort of foppish gentility, in which the line gentleman is so mucn tnougut ot tnat tne true men is forgotten. Our talk just now will be about "WHAT ARE YOU GOOD IOIt ?" I was talking with a rich man his son, who had asked me to get him a'at iho same rate3 would produce b0or situation as clerk. The old gentleman j Pcr annum. .At "this rate, upon a seemed inclined to say very little about ; capital of 5,000,000, after dedcating the lad. but remarked. '-lie won't suit -expenses, the profit would be less theu he won t suit." he wouldn't suit Anxiou3 to know v.hyilx ?cr "at. l lie amount received is I asked what was the j SIa!l, and the limited return must bo matter with him. "Matter?" said the old gentleman, "what's 'the matter with him? Why, he isn't good for anything 't what's the matter with him : and that 1 tea you. 1 woutdn t give a sixpence for a wagon load of such fellows." Hu miliating as it was for the gruff old man to growl out such a description of his own son, it was a perfect photograph cf the youngster's character. Good for nothing. Educated to looktor a fortune at hi3 fath er's death, but not taught the first par ticle of duty a3 to managing it so as to make himself useful with" it, the idle fc1 low was so good for nothing that no decent business man would care about having him in his establishment. But was he Y .11 -w- not good -for anything at all? was good for a customer to the dealers in fine boots, hats, and clothing ; to the sel lers of tobacco, and perhaps of "fancy drinks;" to tbo men at whose billiard ta bles he spent his father's money. He could dance nicely ; he could take the girls who had no better sense than to go with such an empty-head, to church, to the opera and to walk along the street. lie could gracefully wear an elegant stove pipe hat, nicely fitting clothc3 of most fashionable cut, and shiny boots of such exquisite fit as to pinch his toes and rai.c a larger "corn-cron" on his tender feet than ever he will raise by hand work in tilling tho earth, or by brain work in di recting others in agriculture. Some day his father will die, and some stupid girl who is looking out for a rich husband, will marry this inefficient bit of humanity, and then they will cither "live happily all their days," or el.e not. Another case of a good-for-nothing. The morning I heard a feeble, hesitating rap at my study door, like the rap of a beggar, or a man who wants to buy old clothes. As soon 33 I said "Come in," a shabby-genteel-looking young man meek ly stepped in and handed me a well-worn paper. The paper was from a distinguish ed clergyman, and certified that the bear er, the'son of a deceased clergyman, was out of occupation, and, a3 he unfortunate ly had never been taught a trade, or any means of earning a livelihood, was now, with his family, dependent on the kind uess of those who might give him work, or otherwise contribute to his support. "What kind of work can you do?" "Well nothing in particular. " H hat would you like to try?" "I don't know." "Is there any kind ot business that you un derstand ?" "No." Poor fellow ! Wife and two or three children dependent on "his exertions." Mechanics, copyists, labor ers, skilled and unskilled, needed at good wages, iu every department of industry ; but no place vacant for the man who "don't know how to do anything." A- way he goes on his weary rounds, with his thumbed paper, a sauntering monu ment to the neglect of his parents to teach him, or to his own negligence in failing to learn something to make him a self supporting member of society. Hardly anybody will turn him away wituout giv ing him, at last, a little alms ; but what a pity it is that a young man wno migiu be doing something useful, can not, just bppause be 'don't know how !' young man who might, These two cases arc widely different,' but the result is the same, uno young man, probably a little dissipated, with the prospect of becoming considerably more the other pious, anu,very iikciy, rcai ly doing the best he kuows how to do.

Last year the corn crop of this Sta':c amounted to 3G,477,100 bushels, and S8G,02S, acres were planted Yes hcia corn, being an average ot about 40 bushels to the acre, last year s crot was valued at $23,843,103. Illinois, 'Indi ana, Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky and Missouri, in the order named, last year, raised more corn than Pennsylvania, the corn crop cf Illinois exceeding 177,000,000 bushels. -Pennsylvania raised about one-twentieth of the entire crop of the Union, whilst Illinois raised one-fourth.

In Carroll county, Tennessee, last week, a man was tried before a county magis trate, charged with stealing corn from a neighbor's crib, foun 1 with his the crib, safely The defendent had been hand in an aperture in fastened in a steel trap which the owner of the crib had set for tho purpose of catching a. thief who had been preying upon his grain.

The decision .of the magis trate was that" there was no proof that tho prisoner had stole any corn, and r3 to be ing caught in a steel trap, any gentleman had the right to stick his hand into one if he felt inclined to do so.
