EUGENE FULLER:
OK
FATE IN A TIN DIPPER.
"Want to buy any tin-ware to-day, ma'am ?
pails, brooms, needles, scissors, thread, wash
boards—all kinds of glass wart, cheap for old
rags, ir. n, money, or credit ? Want to pur
chase ? Should like to trade with you "
This was the salutation of a tall, handsome
youth, as he opened Mrs. Phillips' kitchen
door, one fine uiuining in August, and ad
dressed the lady of the house at her seat by
the window. Now Mrs. Phillips was a little
nettled with the disobliging conduct of a
skein of yarn which she was winding, and
she answered tho fellow's 6triug of inquiries
rather tartly for tier :
"No—l don't want any of your trash !"
Mrs. Phillips' eyes snapped portentiously,
and her eyebrows drew into closer relation
ship, as if determined that no pedler should
be suffered to annoy their amiable owner.
"Piea*e Mr. Peddlerman, I want a iin dip
per !" called a childish voice from the dark
porch— the first and last born of her parents,
catne bounding mm the room, Eva was a
beautiful child, and the young peddler gazed
at her with undisguised admiration.
"And pray, for what does my curly head
ed girl want a tin dipper?" he asked, with
an amused expression on his face.
"Oh, to dip up water from the brook—to
get berries down on Blackberry bills, and,"
-he added with charming naivete, "to 6ee my
face in."
The peddler laughed.
"Female vanity alike the world over I" he
muttered to hunself; then "Well, my dear
girl, you shall have the dipper. The best tin
in the world might be proud of mirroring
■mch a face ! come out to the cart and get it."
Eva ran merrily down to the brown gate,
where the peddler's good natured horse was
patiently awaiting the master's coining, her
happy head full of the grand times she would
have with that tin dipper. The peddler
•ptned theboX and toox Imm thence a verv
•right dipper, and then with ihe point of
O'S knife, he engraved his name—Eugene
Fuder— upon the outside, and gave it into
ne child's hand.
"Them my little M s*, what is your name?"
"Eva Pearl Phillips," caul the gtrl inspect
'.<• in-r gift wuh sparkling eyes.
"Mis* Eva !-a very pretty name. Well,
I i-ept I his dipp.-r as a b>ve gage from Eu
ue duller, who, when Vi.u get older, is
iimig back to make v<>u his little wifi !
<jood lu e, wifey !" and the laughing boy
prang upon his seat and drove off.
• Ills little wife!" mused Eva, on her way
tack to the house ; "I woifder what mother
anil say ? I wonder if she will begin to
mike pillow cases and sheets, just as Aunt
Ethel did before Cousin Carrie Pear was
married ? I must tell her about it,"
Eva dashed into the kitchen full of the
important news.
"Mother ! mother! the pedlermau says
ie is going to tnarry tne one of these days !
Ain't it funny ! Only think, then 1 can have
is many tin dippers as I like,"
"As many fiddle-sticks ! Go, help Jane
shell the beans for dinner. Ido wish there
hadn t been a pedler created—they are a
pet'"
Mrs. Phillips rocked violently forth in her
hencushioned chair, and made an extra knot
in the refractory yarn.
Time passed on—and Eva kept the tin
dipper among her most cherished playthings
—she did not use it ofien to hold berries or
to dip spring water, for (ear its lustre would
he spoiled, and the name of the donor ef
faced. Mrs. Phillips despised the dipper,
because she despised peddlers, and she wo'd
have destroyed the "amulet" had not her
mother's love pleaded against it.
So when Eva had reacficd her tenth year,
a bright, blooming little lassie, full of gaity
and happiness ; t'-e dipper was still in exist
ence, bearing bravely its age, and its oft le
peated struggles ft.r favor with Mrs, Phillips-
Eva was as fond of it. as. ever—she kept it
on the pretty dressing bureau, that it might
meet her eyes the first thing in the morning.
One would have thought that the little maid
en wa9 completely infatuated with what
Eugene Fuller five years ago had styled a
"love gage"—and perhaps she was. There
is no accounting for the fancies of a female
head—no philosopher has ever discovered a
test by which to analyze the mysterious
composition.
One evening Mrs. Philiips was coming into
the kitchen in something of a hurrv and it
being dusky in the room, she hit her foot
against some obstacle, sud in consequence
lost her balance and fell down into a large
pan of buttermilk, which Jane, the careless
housemaid had left on the floor. There waR
quite a . splashing and spluttering, and Mrs.
Phillips, though unhurt, was decidedly pui
nut—not out of buttermilk, but out of temper.
Her favorite poodle dog was frightened o
much at her fall that he flew upon the cat's
hark for refuge, and the latter animal made'
her escape through the chimney, leaving poor
Roche to drop down at his leisure.
From the rnins, rhoemx-like, Mrs. Phil
lipß arose—and on Jane's bringing a light
she proceeded to investigate matters —woq-
during all the Utile what *b* Could have
stumbled against The wonder was soor
dispelled by the appearance of Eva's dipper—
for the child, wearied out with a long ram
ble over the fields, had returned home •
drowsy that her mother had sent her direct I_\
to her room, without giving her a chance l<
put aWay her treasure. The sight of the tin
dipper only seemed to increase Mrs. Phillip's
indignation, and she vowed vengeance on tin
unfortunate cause of her fall.
Consequently, the next morning when Ev
arose and looked about for her dipper it wa
not to be seen. She went to her mother foi
information but that lady was profoundly
•gnorant in the matter, and Jane proved—o
being brought to the inquisition by Eva—to
be in a like blissful state with hi r mistress.
Then Eva went through with a grand sys
tem of reconnoitering, winch resulted in tin
recovery of the dipper fiom a mass of rub
bish in a corner of the woodshed. It was
ttruised and battered a little, but in othei
respects as good as new. and Mrs. Phillips
though gudty of ihe intent, was not t-xacJ\
guilty in act of the sin oi the iconoclast.
Resolved to guard against all further profa
nation of her idol, Eva tied tne dipper in a
piece of strong silk, which ha 1 been given
her by the village milliner to make a doll
dress, which she deposited in a liula hollow
ar the foot of the pasture and the
aperture with a flat stone.
S tne days after she was sent by her mothei
on an erraud to her Aunt Ethel, and as Pe r
way lay down the pasture lane, she thought
she would take out her dipper, giva it an air
ing and perhaps fill it with Strawberries down
in Grant's meadow. Singing blithely she
went her way, the exhumed .dipper still in
its bandages banging upon her arm. Sh<
Cime to ,v ie narrow bridge across the Dead
river, anu was nearly to the middle of the
crossing, when her attention w as atiracieu
by a large cluster of wild dragon star clinginn
to the willows which hung over the bi idg<-
Thoughtlessly, her eyes fixed on the fl iwer*.
she advanced to the verge of the bridge, the
plank bent and tipped wuh her weight, out
scream, and the 111 tie form of Eva struggleu
in the water. .She closed her eye and gav
fierselt up for lost—but no— the dipper, boiiuo j
wuh silken cloth, acted like a ilie preset vei
ana kept her hove the surface.
"Help me 1 Do somebody come help
me !" she sCiearned, as she was borne rapidlt
past a field where some far no rs wereengageo
in planting their C Tn. In a moment a staU
wart in-'ii cleft ihe waters and reaching E#;i
ne gra-ped per in one hand, wtnle with the
other he swain to the shore.
"Where ain f, and where is my tin dip
per ?" iuqu'red the child as soon as she cauu
to realization.
"You are here," replied the man i "bw
what.of your dipper? Ha! as I live, 'tis at
old tin dipper, rather the worse for wear
tied up in a rag! Well, it has saved youi
lire !',
Then ihe good old man put her into hi
rough wagon and conveyed her home, taking
pai l icular care to rela'e to her mother tin
part the drpper had played in th.
rescue of the child.
"I tell you, ma'am if it hadn't been for tha*
ar' dipper's keeptn' her above water, she'd u
been dead drowned afore any r mortal uian
'a leached her ! Thank the dipper ma'am
and not me !''
This unbassed account of the praiseworthy
conduct of the diaper, softened Mrs.Phillips
towards it, and she allowed Eva to keep it
wherever she chose.
Months and years rolled away and when
Eva Phillips was fourteen 6he was sent to a
celebrated female seminary in a neighboring
state, from whence alter a long three years'
course she was emancipated a "finished young
lady." But her learning and accomplish
ments had not spoiled her, and she was the
same gay, light hearted little fairy who had
begged a tin dipper of Eugene Fuller twelve
years before.
Shortly after Eva's return to Wheatwold,
her mother sickened and died, and though in
many respects a hard woman, she was long
and sincerely mourned by her daughter.
With the coming summ-r Mr. Phillips, at
Eva's earnest request, let his farm for a
couple of years and with his child set out
upon a Eur >(>ean tour. Eva's beauty excited
the most fervent admiration wherever she
worn, but though she received many offers of
marriage she preferred to remain with her
father. They visited all places of interest in
southern Europe, sighed over desolate Rome,
walked upon the lava of Vesuvius, beheld
the magnificent proppct from the highest
peak of Mount Blanc, floated upon the waters
of Lake Con -tance, admired the impregnable
fortress of t .bralter, and sojourned 'or some
months in the French capital.
At last tbev took passage frotp Liverpool
to New Y. rk, and with meltinr hearts looked
out daily towards the bine distance where
they knew home was. A prosperou- passage
was theirs, and from the bustling American
metropolis they took the express train on
the Eastern Ra Iroad, which would set them
down at home before sunset.
But alas ! how little do we know of com
ing events ! 11-.w little do we realize upon
what a slender chord hangs our destinv !
At lightning speed the train which carried
oar travellers sped on, Eva joyous and cheer-
I fill in view of beholding once more the dear
old pjiice; her father rejoicing in hi< daugh
ter's happiness. In crossing a bridge built
on a hr'ad but shallow river the machinery
of the engine became disordered and it: 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 attention,
dashed toward het and clasping her in his
arms reached li e platform just as it was go
mg over: one frantic leap, and he with his
senseless burden, went down beneath the
water to rise almost instantaneously and
strike for shore.
Boldly he swam on and at last he safely
reached the shore, when after giving Eva into
t lie tare of some benevolent people who
dwelt near the bridge, he returned to the
scene of accident hoping to be of some ser
vice in rescuing those imperiled.
Sad to relaia, Mr. Phillips was among the
killed, and Eva, on the return of conscious
ness, found herself orphaned, an I alone| in
the world among strangers. It was a new
and|terrible experience o her, and her shrink
ing spirit was nearly broken by the shock.
She suffered herself to be guided entirely
by the advise of her unknown dreserver—de
pending upon him with the trust of a helpless
child. Under his protection Eva set out for
home, home no longer, now that there were
none on earth to care lor her. The house ai
Wheatwoid had been closed the greater part
>f the.tirne during the absence of its owners,
and had only been opened a few weeks before
in expectation of iheir coining. Everyihing
ihere was damp and mouldy the curtains
were falling to pieces in .he continual mois
ture of the atmosphere, everything bore ihe
impress of gloom. Suit heavier fell the gloom
w hen the closed coffin holding the remains of
Mr. Philips sis brought into the long dark
parior, awaitng the funeral service of to mor
row's morn. Eva's alfl'Ction was dreadful t"
witness. She took notice of nothing, neither
a'e nor slept, and refused all attempts at con
•olation fr. rn her sympathizing neighbors.
The young stranger who accompanied het
'lotne took chai ge of everything, and ihu good
people of the vicimti , suppoeing him to hare
ieen an intimate friend of the deceased, made
no inpuiries concerning his right to act as he
-aw fit.
Mr Phillips was buried by the side of his
wife, and Eva, on the aim of pitying o|q c!er
gymun went down to ihegrave, tciy, fear
lessly, like a stone statue. She t xlnbited no
ritiotion, utiered with a fixed immovahb
-'are. The funeral over, the stranger engag
ed two trusty srrvan's, a man and his wif.
to lake charge of domestic atfnrs ahout the j
place, and then made preperatinns for imme- !
diate departure. The morning upon which
he w'as to leave, he sent a message to Era, re
questing a private interview. It was granted
and she met hnn in the little boudoir attach
ed to her chamber, where she had passed tin
greater portion of her time since her return.
He catne in with a little hesitation in his stej
and took the chair her silent nod indicated.
As he did so, li s eyes involuntarily fell up m
he tin dipper, which still retained n
>lden place up in us Iressuig bureau. He
started up, and approaching it, took it into
nis hands and examined it long and attentive
ly. Still retaining u, he came to Eva's side :
'"Miss Phillips !"
She looked up drearily on hearing her
name spoken, but her face brighterid instant
ly w'hen she beheld her old plaything.
"May I ask how you cauiw by ibis, Miss
Phillips?"
"It was given to me by a peddler some
years ago— his name is on ihe side."
"And you have preserved it through all
this time— t ou evidently priz it!"
"Prize it!—sir, ir has saved my life."
"Would you 'ike to see the giver of that
trifling toy? Would it please you to see Eu
gene Fuller?"
•'Yes, H would gratify me slave all thins.
Then would I thank him for the good his gift
h is been to me "
"Then, Eva Phillips, look up into my face
and thank me! lam Eugene Fuller!"
The gtrl rose to hei feet, and threw a long
searching look into the face of the young
stanger. Then her eves fell, and she said,
with something of doubt—
"ls it true?"
"It is true," he answered.
She put her hands confidingly in his.
"And is it Eugene Fuller to whom I owe
my preservation from a terrible death in
that time when—"
Her voice failed —a sigh heaved from the
inmost depths of her heart—her frame shook
—tears, blessed tears, fl->w d like rain d< wn
her face. Thev were the first she had shed
since her orphanhood. Eugene blessed them
—for he knew that only through much weep
ing could the burthen which dished her be
lightened.- -When she was calmer, he drew
her down beside him on the settee and said
—"Eva, it is fifteen years ago, hat I a
youth of fourteen—charmed with the beauty
of a little girl—gave her a tin d pper witn my
name cut thereon, telling her that when she
was older and when I was older, I a linn Id
c one back and make her my wife. Du*'t
thou reinembar this Eva?"
Eva's voice was low and subdued, as she
aDswerd bin—
"Yes, I remembor it,"

Eva's head dropped lower, her lips quiver
ed, as she spoke the words he so longed ts
hear:
"Eugene, I give it to you !"

the tears which still clung to her cheek.
And she, feeling again the warm bond of

Stun in Cameron's memory does not go so
l ir back a* when Congt 'ss resolved that bis
oi nipt ions had reached such a hight as to re
quire his removal from office. We say his
memory dues not go so far back, otherwise
how would lie have the face to be again, as
ie now is, a candidate for office 7 But he
to recollect that in 1860 he told
!. ff rson Davis that if the South seceded he
ie would plant corn in the streets of Charles
on,S.C. To keep this promise, Cameron
went to Charleston last spring, planted some
corn in a street, and put soldiers to watch
ing and attending it.
The other day, we are told, Cameron got
a package of four ears of corn by Adams Ex
.•res*, as the fruit of his speculation, accom*
uani. d by a letter from Brevet Major Gener
-11 John P. Hatch, certifying that "it is poor
corn at best, ' but that "it received every
'■are from the gardener at the hospital."
N 'W. wo racollect very well tb&t conversa
tion of Cameron's in 1803, when that free
booting politician, exulting over his supposed
lection to the United States Senate {for
which he had contracted, C. O. D.) exclaim
<d. "The Smith will establish its indepen
dence, New England and Pennsylvania will
corern the country ; and I will be the great
est man in the Union."
The golden ears gathered .in Charleston
iu-ar which Cameron has bought a coonsca
ied plantation) arjon exhibition, and it is
calculated that they cost §75 apiece ! but
they are a longer pair of ears, that,cost the
people as many tens ol thousands, which are
also on exhibition, and they adorn Cameron's
foolish head --Albans Argus.
APictcreof the Keii SEA.-llogarth
was once applied to by a certain nob'emau to
paint on h's staircase a representation of the
destruction of Pharaoh's host in the Red See.
In attempting to fix upon the price, Hogarth
became disgusted with the miserly conduct of
hi* patron, who was unwilling to give more
than half the real value of the picture. At
last, ,ut of all patience, he sgretd to his
terms. In two or three days the picture wee
ready.
The nobleman, surprised at such expedition
immediately called to examine it, and found
the space painted all over red.
"Z unds," said the purchaser, "what have
you here ? I ordered a scene of the Red Sea.
"The Red Sea you have," said the painter.
"But where are the Israelites ?"
"They have all gone over."
"And where are the Egyptians 7'
"They are all drowned."
