TIE WfRRI1 GE PORTION.

There lived about five or six miles from
Eastou, Pa, a few years since, an honest
farmer named Henderson, who had two
very pretty daughters. Ellen and Mauue.
The first was about twenty-thIee years oi
ace while the latter was nineteen. The
farmer was n thrifty, well-to-0o man,
though by no means rich but the family
lived in excellent style, and the daughters
had received good educations.
Both Of these giIls were pretty, but
Maude was perhaps the handsomer. There
was no lack Of attentive young gentlemen
at the farm, though the ncigbboraood was
not very thickly settled. But 'beauty
draws us with a single thread, =" and the
vounp ladies were the center of gay little
circle of friends, mostly young gentlemen
or farmers sons in the immediate neigh
boihood, and some even from Easton.
By-aud-by it came about that All earnest,
handsome and sturdy young farmer fell
desperately in love with Maude, and pro
posed to her. On her part, she loved iiar-
nv Masters above all the young fellows she
knew, and told him frankly that he might
speak to her father. In the meantime she
confided the matter to her mother, KIND
hearted, sympathetic paient, Who saw no
objection to the choice of her daughter,
but ali was left to the father To decide.
Farmer Henderson was very stralght-
he said exactly what lie meant, no more or
less, and that he utteled freely. W hen
Harry Masters called him on one side aud
told his especial erran0, as to Mande, the
father said Well, Mr.. Masters, Maude is
voune. wanted Ellen to Oe ma,iied frs; ;
she's Oldest, and | have got marriage
norton of twelve bundled dollars 10 give
her but haven't laid by anything yet Tor
Maude." =,
Il have got pretty well beforehand, Mr..
Henderson, fora man but twenty-iour years
OLD. and we shall be able to do very well, L
have no doubt"
You mean you'll take Mauoe without
apy marriage portion ?'' said the father
:.Yes, sir very gladly"
"Well, it's pleasant TO hear you say So
because it shows your honesi affection, Mr..
Masters; but | am too prond. though
.;mnIe farmer, to let Maude marry till
can give her thousand ot Two 'o""'o
housekeeping"
at is not worth waiting for, sir, as long
as we don't really peed it, and both are
conten:." =,
..Then. again, I'd rather Maude wouldn't
marry until her sister is married, because
she's so much older, do you see, 1t VIII
actually make her an old MAID. III ISL
fair, Mr. Masters
"Ellen is very popular with the gentlemen,
and will soon be married." said the other-
That's lust what / have said to myself.
aud then | shall begin to pick up a mar
,iaue portion for Maade.

SURRENDERED TO AN OWL.-The follow
ing war incident during the Peninsula
campaign is told by a correspondent of the
Weldon On. c. NecS: One dark, drizzly
night when everything seemed pOItentiUus
of some evil, both armies doubled their
picket lines, and after dark picked men
were sent out between the picket lines to
watch more closely the movements of the
enemy and to prevent surprise. The
most impressive orders were given to all
the pickets, and especially to those occp
pying the outposts. At Deep Bottom one
North Can oliua regiment WAS on duty, and
one of its picket men was sent To the front
to occupy an important outpost IN a foI est
of pines. The extreme darkness of the
night and the dense sGa0ow of the ihick
pines rendered his optics of little use To
hin. on this occasion, hence his auditory
faculties were ON double duty. 1t IS said
that when mar is deprived of one facul y
others become more acute, and this cas- e
not an exception to the rule. The
only thing that operated against the free
exercise of The organ of hearing was the
humping OF his heart, which Ie more than
once mistook for the approach of many
heavy shod foot >teps. lie was in close
quarters with the enemy, could hear the
Corporal whispering his orders to the men
on rho line confronting him; whether or
not they were advancing on him lie could
not tell lie rather thought they were, and
was making up his mind to this conclusion,
when, from a few feet above his head, burst
out a terrible scream. The brave man :
