"Want to buy any tin ware to day ma'- am ? pails, brooms,needles,scissore,thread washboard—all kinds of glass ware,cheap for old rags, iron,money or credit? Want to purchase ? should like to trade with you." This was the salutation of a tall hand some youth as he opened Mrs. Phillips' kitchen door, one fine morning in August and addressed the lady of the house at her seat by the window, Now IMrs. Phillips was a little nettled' ,: at the disorderly con duct of a skein of yarn which she was winding, and she answered the fellow's string of inquiries rather tartly for bet : "No—l don,t want any of - your trash!" Mrs. Phillips' eyes snapped portentous ly, and her eyebrows drew into closer re tationship, as if determined that an ped ler should be suffered to'annoy their amiable owner. "Please, Mr. Peddlerman, I want a tin dipper! called a child's voice from a back porch=and Eva Phillips, the first and last born of her parent, came bounding into the room. Eva was a beautiful child and the young pedler gazed at her with undis g uised admiration. " .end pray for what does my curly headed girl want a tin dipper?".he asked with au amused expression on his face. "Oh, to dip up water from the brook— to get berries down on Blackberry bills, and," she added with charming naivette, "to see my face in." The pedler laughed.. "Female vanity alike the world over !" he muttered to himself; then—“well,my dear 'girl you shall have the dipper. The best tin in the world might be proud of mirroring such a face ! Come out to the cart and get it." Eva ran merrily down to the brown gate, where the pedler's good •natured horse was patiently waiting) the master's • coming, her happy head full of the grand times she would have with; 'that tin dip per. The pedler opened the box, and took from thence a very bright dipper, and then with the point of his knife, he engraved bis name—Eugene Fuller—up on the outside and gave itlinto the child's hand. "There my little Miss, what is your name ?" 1 "Eva Pea1...1 Phillips," said the girl, in- ers, she advanoed Co the verge of 'the specting her gilt with sparkling eves. bridge, the plank bent and tipped 'with "Miss Eva!—a very pretty name: Well her weight, oue scream, and the little accept this dipper as a •love gage from forth of Eva struggled in the water.

From the rnins,phcenix-like, Mrs. Phil. lips arose , --and on Jane's bringing a light she proceeded to investigate matters—ivon tiering all the time what she could have stumbled imainst: The wonder was 'soon dispelled by the appearance of Eva's dip. per—for the . child, wearied out with a long ramble over the fields, had returned home so drowsy that her mother had sent her directly to her room, without giving her a chance to put away her treasure.— The sight of the tin dipper only seemed to increase 'Mrs. Phillips' 'indignation, and she vowed vengeance on the unfortunate to Ise of htr fall. Consequently, the nest morning when Eva arose and looked about for her dipper it was; not to be seen. She went to' her mother for information' the lady was pro; foundly ignorant in the matter, and Jane proved—on being brought to the inqui sition by Eva—to be in a like blissful state with her mistress. Then Eva went through with a grand system of reconnoitering, 'which resulted in the recovery of the dipper from a Mass of rubbish in the corner of the woodshed. It was bruised and battered a little, but in other respects as good as new,and Mrs. Phillips, though guilty of the intent'was not exactly guilty in act of the sin of 'the iconoclast. • Resolved to guardar c min'st all further profanation of her idol, Eva tied the dip' per in a piece of strong silk—which had been given her by the village milliner to make her doll a dress—which she depos ited in a little hollow at the foot of the pasture and covered the aperture with a flat stone. Some days after she was sent' by liar mother on an ,errand to her Atint Ethel, and as her way lay down the pasture lane she thought she would take out her dip- I per and give it an airinn. c and Perhaps fill it with straw barries down in Grant's meadow. Singing blithely she went ha l way,the eshUtried dipper still it, its bancl-1 ages hanging upon her tr.n. She Came to the narrow bridge across the Dead rirl er, and was nearly to the crossing, when her attention wts attracted by a Urge cluster of wild dragon star clinging to the •o• willows which hung over the bridgC.— Thoughtlessly ter eyes fired on the flow _ I .' i ble fortress of Gibraltar, and sojourned.l for some months in the French capital. At last thettOok passage. from Liver pool to New Y ri and with melting hearts looked out daiiy towards the blue dis tance where, they knew home was. A prosperous passage was theirs; and from the hustling 'American metropolis they took the express train on the Eastern Railroad, which would set them down at home before sunset. . But alas! how little do we know of corn ing events ! How little, do we realize up on what a slender cord hangs our destiny! At lightning speed the train which car ried our travelers sped on Eva joyout a6d cheerful in view of beholding: Orlet• More the dear old place.; her father re joicing in his danghter's happiness. In crossing a bridge, built on a broad bui shallow river the machinery of the engine became disordered and in an instant the foaming monster plunged into the river, dragging the train after it. At the first shock of the• overthrow, a young man, who for the whole journey had been regarding Eva with fixed atten tion., dasheStowards her and clasped her in his arms and reached the platform just as it was going over—one'frantic leap and he with his senseless burden went down beneath the water to rise almost instanta neously and strike for shore. Boldly he swam on and at last he safe ly reached the shore, when after giving Eva into the care of some benevolent people who dwelt near the bridge, he re turned to the scene of the accident,hop ing to be of some service in resecuing those imperiled. - Sad' to relate, Mr. Phillips was among the killed, and Eva found on the returi of conciousness, herself orphaned4d alone) in the world amen. , stranaeri. It was' a new and terrible experience to ,her and her shrinkinc , ° spirit was nearly brh ken by the shock. She suffered herself to be guided entirely by the advice of her unknown preserver—depending upon bim with the trust of a helpless child. .Tiider his protection Eva set out for home— home no longer,now that there were none on earth to 'care for her. The house at \Vheatwold, had been closed the greater part of the time during the absence of its owners, and had only been opened a few weeks before in, the expectation of their coming. Everything there was damp and mouldy—the curtains were fallint , a th pieces in the continual moisture 'of the atmosphere—everything bore the impress of gloom. Still heavier fell the gloom when the closed coffin,holding the remains of Mr.Philiips,was brought into the long dark parlor-- 7 awi.iting the funeral servi ces of to-morrow's morn.. Era's affliction Was dreadful to 'witness She took notice of nothing, neither ate nor slept, and refused all attempts at con solation from her sympathizing neighbors The young stranger who accompanied tier home took charge of everything, and the good people of the vicinity, suppos ing him to have been an intimate friend of the deceased,' made no inquiries con cerning his right to act as he saw fit.- Mr. Phillips was buried by the side of his wife, and Eva the arm of the pity ing old clergyman went down to the grave icily, tearlessly—like a steno statue. She exhibited no emotion—standing with a fixed immovable stare. The funeral over. the stranger engaed two trusty servants, a man and his wife, to take charge of domestic affairs about the place,anif then made preparatiOn for immediate depar ture. The morning upon which he was to leave,he sent a message to E va,request in: a private interview. It was granted and she met, him in the little boudoir at tached to chamber, where she, had I_ • passed the greater portion of her time since her return. He came in with a lit tle hesitation in his step, and took the chair her silent nud indicated. As he did' so, his eyes involuntarily fell upon the tin-dipper, which still retained its olden place on her dressing bureau. He started up, and approached it, took it in his hand and examined it long and at tentively. Stilt retaining it, he came to Eva's side "Miss ' Phillips I" She looked up dreFrily on 'hearing her name spoken, , but her face brigtened in stantly when she beheld her old plaything. "May I ask you bow you came by this, Miss Phillips ?" "It was given to me by a pedlerisome years ago—his name is on the side." ; "And you have preserved it through all this time--- 7 -you evidently prize it I" "Prize it it has saved my life." 'Would yoli like to see the giver of that trifling toy ? Would. it please you to see Eugene Fuller ?" "Yes, itj would gratify me above all things. Then would I thank him for the good gift has been to me." - . "Then Eva Phillips, look up into my face and thank me I I. am Eug,ene Fuller!" The girl rose to ,ber feet, and threw a long, searching look into the face of the ',young stranger. Then her eye& fell and r.she said, with EametLing of a doubt— "ls it trus ?" TERMS.--$1.50 PER ANNIIII. "It is true," be answered. , She put her hands confidingly in ""And it is Eugene Fuller to whore I owe my preservation from a terrible death in that time wben—" Her voice failed—a sigh heaved front the inmost depths of her heart—her froths shook—Aears, bOssed tears, flowed like rain down her race. They were the first she bad shed since her orphanhood.— Eugene blessed them—for he knew Chit 'only through much weeping could the burthen which crushed her be lightened. When she was calmer he drew , . her down beside hint on the settee - and said— ' , Eva it, is fifteen years ago, that youth of fourteen—charmed - with the beauty of a little girl—gave her a tin dap. per with my name cut thereon,telling her that when she was older, and when I was older, I should come back and make her my wife. Do 4 thou remember Ibis Eva?" Eva's voice was low and subdued,sa she answered him-- "Yes, I remember it I am older now—twenty-nine slimmers have passed , over my head, iug me wealth and influence and to day the heart but echoes the sentiment of the boy.. I have always • remembered you-- have always cherished the fond idea of coming back to this p‘untry town where I first saw you, and renew our accquaipk anceship, but: until last, Thursday business could/never be arranged for leaving.

"Eugene I give it to you !" • He drew her into his arms , and kissed off the tears which still Clung to her cheek. And she, feeling the warm bond of affec tion around her, lOoked up with hope and trust to the hope of all happiness-,—HeaT en. Eugene Fuller and Eva Phillips were married two months from that day, and the health of the bride was drank by the coterie of distinguished guests assembled from the tin dipper, which subsequently became an heirloom to the Fuller family. Mr, Fuller arid his wife removed to Bos ton immediately on their union and their live 4 were blessed to them. There, dear, bright-eyed reader, is the story of the Tin Dipper. Quite a dipper wasu't it ?
