THE MARRIAGE PORTION
FOUNDED ON FACT.

There lived, about five or six miles
from Easton, Pa, few years since,
an honest farmer named Henderson,
who had two very pretty daughters,
Ellen AMI Maude. The first WAS
about twcnty.three years Of age,whiie
the latter WAS nineteen. The farmer
was a thrifty, wcll-to-do man, though
by no means rich ; but the family
.ived in excellent style, and tie
daughters had received good educa
tlons.
Both of these girls were pretty, but
Moule was perhaps the haudsomer.-.
II ere was 10 lack Of attentive young
gentlemen at the farm, though the
neighborhood was not very thichIy
settled. But "beautv draws Us with
IL single hair and the young ladies'
We're the centre of gay little circle
Of friends, mostly young gentIe'nen
or farmers sons in the inmedlate
neighborhoou, and some even from
EDston.
By-ani, bv It camo about that an
earnest, handsome and sturdy yonng.
farmer fell desperately in love with
M~ue. and proposed to her. On her
mart she loved Harry Masters above
all tfe Young fellows she knew, and
she told him frankly that ho might
speak to her father. In the nean-
time she conided Il e matter to her|
mother, kindhearted, sympathetic,
parent, who saw no objections to the
ia oice of her daughter but all Was
left to the father to decide.
Farmer Henderson was very
straightforward and opcn-mouthed
man. That is, he said exactly what
he meant, no more or less, and that
he uttered freely. When Harry
Masters called him to one side and
told his especial errand as to Maude,
the father said: swell, Mr.. Masters,
Maude is young. | wanted Ellen to-
be married first she's oldest, and !
have got marriage portion of twelve
hundred dollars to give her; but |
haven't laid by anything yet for
Asude.
1 have got pretty well beforehand,
Mr.. Henderson, for man but TWEEN
flour years old. and We shall be able
to do very well, have no doubt.
You mean you will take Mande
without any marriage portion sad
the farmer.
'Yes, sir, very gladly
well, it 8 pleasant to hear you say
so, because it shows your honest atlec-
ton, Mr.. Master but | am too proud,
though simple farmer, to let Maude
marry till can give her a thousand
or two toward housekeeping.
1T is not worth waiting for, sir as
long as we don't really need it, and
both are content
Then, again, Id rather Maude
WOuldn marry uhlll ner sister Is
married, because she's so much older,
do yon see, it will actually make her
an old maid. 1t isn't, fair, Mr.. Mas
ters.
ELLEN is very popular with the
gentlemen, and will soon be married,
said the other.
That's just what I've said myself,
and then l shall begin to pick up
marriage portion for Maude.
I trust that is the only objection,
Mr.. Henderson 2 said Harry Mas
ters.
Why, yes, you are apromislng and
respectable young man, and come OF
good family, said the farmer; but |
can't let Maude 90 until | have got
together respectable marriage por-
tion to give her hand
Perhaps you will think more fav.
orably about it, said the lover. i
will speak with you again.
All right, Mr.. Masters
Harry ana Maude were very fond

LONG AGO.

When beneath yon aged pine,
Lone sit at even time
There by contemplation led,
There to dream ofplcasurcs ilcd,-
Come the voices soft and low,
OF the loved of long ago.
When the vcrnal hrcczcs sing
And the song birds tell of spring;
'Mong The summers gentle flowers
In the autumn's pcnsivc hours,
Come the vcsper's sweet and low,
Ofihc loved of long ago.
When alone from MOSES gray,
Fame takes her airy way,
Back ard through the misls of time,
Circling round yon trl'ting pine,
Come the spirits sad ana low,
Ofthc loved of long ago,

1t was with difficulty she could Oe'
lieve the man was in earnest; but
when he now cooked his pistol and
held it towards her with one hand,
while he extended the other for the
bill, she was forced to yield to tie ne
ces5ity of the situation. She was a
brave hearted girl, and even now she
did not turn pale or tremble in the
least, but saw she could not help her
self and so made the best Of it.
Just as she held out the bill to him
a sudden puff Of wind blew it into the
road and carried it several yards
frola them. The stranger alighted to
get it, and, quick as thought, Maude
struck her horse a smart blow, in or
der to get out of the robbers power.
The sorrel mare was spirited little
creature, and sprang into smart gal.
lop at once, yhi.e the strangers S
horse, which had been standing be-
side her, also started off at full speed
in her company.
Bang! went the pistol Of the rob.
Der after them, having only the effect
to increase the speed Of the flying
horses, both of whom were now on the
dead run. Maude did not care how
fast she rode, the sorrel was easy as
cradle at that speed and in ten
minutes she dashed into the yard of
her father, followed by a riderless
horse.
Her story was soon told, and her
fataer was with difficulty prevented
from starting after the robber with
his pistol and rifle, but he knew that
the scoundrel would naturally take
at once to the woods where he could
not follow him.
Well, we have got his horse at any
rate, and be is worth more than a
hundred dollars.
Hello, master : said the man John
who had been taking the saddle, bags
from the strange horse.
What is it, John?
These bags is full Of something
1 should think 80, said the farm
er, as he unstrappel the leather bags
Tney were found to contain some
counterfeit plates, quantity Of coun-
teriet money, aud also a little over
fifteen hur.dred dollars of good mon
eY.
Hnzza : cried the father.
What is it, father 4? said Mauae.
why, your trip to Easton has
profitable one at all events. Here is
over fifteen hundred dollars good
money!
'Ah, but it will be claimed by the
owner.
DO you think a counterfeiter will
dare to come for the tools that would
convict him, to say nothing Of high
way robbery?'
I did not think of that.
That evening Farmer Henderson
sent John over to young Masters with
a message to call around and see him,
to which Harry responded instantly.
Mr.. Masters, said the fArmer,as he
came into the large, oldfashloned sit
ting room, You remember what you
asked of Inc this afternoon {?
Yes, sir.
We'll, l give my consent. Maude
has just furnished her own marriage
portion. Take her my boy and be
happy.
A bright story is told Of the accom-
pliehed wife, now dead, Of General
Hooker. When she was the admired
Miss Groesbeck, Of Cincinnati, she
was once at an evening party when a
fashionable young dandy was asked
if he would like to be presented to
her.
ooh yes" said he, laushingly, trot
her out.
The lady overheard the remark,
and when he was presented she ad-
justed her eye glosses deliberately,
and slowly scanned his clothing from
boot to collar. The survey finished,
she waved her hand and carelessly
