 "A young girl, apparently about seventeen voars ot aoe, was seated upon pile of cheese boxes with her two little brothers, aged eleven and thirteen years. They were orphans, bound from Alleghany, Pennsylvania, to Michigan. where they expected to find a home with an uncle
 After having purchased sccond-class tickets for tie three, the girl had spread her old quilt on the pile of cheese boxes, and prepared to mass the night in quietude. She had hardly arranged her nest, however, before she was ac- cdentally discovered by second-class passen- ger, tall young man of about thirty-three, who had loved her in secret almost from her infancy. and who had been for the past two years rafting lumber on the Ohio river Hay ino acquired about two hundred dollars, in hard money. he came to Cleveland on the 10th to participate in the celebration, when, as he expressed 1t, some mean GUS had picked his pocket of every darn cent but four dollars"
 Being unable to find the thief or the mo- ney, he had started for the West, with the determination to hire out on farm. To his surprise and joy, he found himself on board the same vessel with the object of his hearts earliest affections.
 Siding up to her. he exclaimed:
 Why. Cynthia Ann. how do you dew 1 didn't hardly know you. Why, how you've growed Where are you gong!'
 I'm going to uncle's in Michigan, was the feeble reply. You knew mother Was dead, didn't you|
 Why, no, and his voice softcned. When did she die, Cynthia Ann"
 She died last January. Uncle wrote me that if I'd come up there, he'd give me and the boys q home
 Cynthia Ann, and the young mans voice | trembled, there an't no man'll be so glad to | give you home as will. I've alters thought a heap of you. 1 told your mother whenyou grow up 1 was going to have you. Now, Cynthia Ann, jest say the word, and you're to hum now
 'WhatlI become of the boys? inquired the agitated maiden.
 m % with you and leave'm to your un- cle' $, and then we'll go West and hire out this fall and winter, and then next spring we'll buy small farm and live to hum"
 The girl gave warm sigh of acceptance, ! leaned her head against the honest breast of 1 the hardy youth, as much as to say, If you want anything. take it.
 The man snatched a kiss from the ripe, ruby lips, sprang down from the cheese boxes, and exclaimed If there's a minister or jus tice of the peace on board this boat, I've got job for him.
 . I am justice of the peace remarked a venerable looking man from York State; re- mount the cheese boxes, and you shall be a married man in less than five minutes
 We'll hold on, Squire 1 haint got no money, but I'll give you an all jofred good axe.
 Never mind about the pay, said the wor- thy Squire. HI take my pay in seeing you happy.
 The fellow remount9d the pile of cheese clasped the hands of his dearly beloved, and in two minutes the ceremony was performed he had entered into new existence Kiss ing his little bride once on her ready lips he seated himself on big cheese and commenced, no doubt, for the first time to realize what Ire was. what he had done, and what ought and must be done.
 ! Starting up suddenly, he exclaimed, half aloud. to himself Well, by hokey. this is a pretty hard way of passing the first night.
 The bride bushed and replied, Never mind, John, We are just as happy as if we were rich. Come. sit down. ! But John had an idea, and he was bound ,to put it operation. Going to his pile of bag ! gage consisting of one large meal bag, con- taining change of shirts, socks, neck k-hand- | kerch.ef and old boots, he took from the leg of one of the boots an excellent axe, and walking up to the c.crk Office, he exclaimed:
 say. look here, Cap n. I've paid for deck passage, but 1 want bed for myself and w-i-!c. hant got ao money, but here IS an all jofred good axe
 The gentleman in the office replied that the clerk had stepped out, but would be back in a few momepts whercupon the man went back to the pile of cheese to look at his precious treasure.
 Having our sympathies aroused, we hastily ran around among the passengers, told the story, and took up a collection to procure a stateroom for the young couple To the credit of our lady passengers, they were the most liberal in their donations, and in less than ten minutes we had collected Sl4 92 Presenting this sum to the agrceably astonished young man, We informed him that he could now pro cure stateroom with two beds-one for him. self and wife, and the other for the boys Thanking us with his big, watery eyes, he rushed to the clerks office, where he was met by Captain Pierce, agent of the line; Capt Evans, commander of the boat, and lIr Car. ter, clerk.
 Capt Pierce exclaimed Here, my good fellow, here's a ticket for yourself and wife to go to Chicago. Get West as fast as YOU can; go to work on farm, and look out fol the land sharks
 Capt. Evans pulled out a glittering cor and said Here's five dollars keep yourself in good condition, and -; here the wor thy Captain forgot his speech, and ran of laughing
 The clerk, Mr. Carter, handed the man a key and said, You arc welcome to one of the best staterooms on the boat. It has two beds one for yourself and wife, the other for the boys
 Capt Evans having returned, exclaimed Give the boys another room. They haintnC business in there. They haint no business Here he broke down with laughter again, and tLa coI,nla ratirn1 to +hnir u,,n,Dtunrc ou,r+
