A MOncy-Making Memory.

George Harding, Esq, the distln-
gulshed Philadelphia patent lawyer, is
remarkable Tor relentiye memory.
On Saturday Mr.. Harding rode down
TO Wall street, New York, in Broad
way omnibus. A beautiful young lady
got IN and handed fifty cents to the at
torney, requesting him to please hand
1t to the driver.
With pleasure SAID Mr.. Harding,
at the same time passing the fifty
cents up through the hole to The stage
man.
The dryer made the change and
handed forty cents back to Mr.. Har6-
lrg, who quietly put 1t away into his
vest pocket and vent on reading a
mowing-maciine brlei.
Then ali was silence.
The young lady began to look nerv-
ously at DIr. Harding for her change.
Can 1t be possible that this is one OF
those polite confidence men We read Of
in books p she thought to herself.
Then she looked up timidly and
asked Mr. Harding something about
tie Bro oklyn Ferry.
oh, the boats run verJ regular
every three minutes, replied the inter-
rupted lawyer, trying to smile. Then
he went on reading his brief.
DO the boats run from Wall street
TO ASTORIA p continued the young lady.
Il don't know, madame replied Mr..
II. petulantly; I'm not resident OF
New York; I'm Philadelphlan.'
'Ah! yes'-(then a sileuce,)
Mr.. Harding again buried himself i'll
his brief. while the young lady ahemed'
and asked him what the fare was in the
New York stages.
why, ten cents, nadame--ten
cents

poetieal
AT EVENTIDE,

If sometime, when the day was wearing late,
And stars were coming in the darkening SKY
As once for you 1 might in rapture watt
And feel your presence surely drawing nigh;
Could but hear your quick and happy feet
Come up the pebbled pathway as of yore,
And hasten with a beating heart to meet
And welcome you before you reached the ooor'
And draw you in beside the household fire.
And sit beside you, looking in your eyesi
To read within them, as the fame burned higne'
The love hat answering love alone describes
think-hut no the past is far away
Its dear and mournful memory is mine;
And in the gladn ess where you walk to-day
would not have you know that repine
For If again you sat beside me here,
Your ewes would read the lines made deep o.
pain,
And see the cheeks whose youthful bloom was dear
Like flowers grown pallid in autumnal rain.
And I, perhaps, should fear to meet those eyes
That in the light of Heaven had grown so clear
Lest in their love should be sad surprise
At what had worn my soul from year to year.
1 will not let my longing soul grow Wild
With useless visions Of what may not be-
While in the glory, radiant, undefled,
You stand and stretch your angel hands to me.

4 Fortune Left a Wealthy Man.

Mr.. w. A. Collins. II gentleman well
and favorably known in Cincinnati, has
come into a good run of luck, of which
his many friends will be pleased to learn.
Mr.. Collins has IN uncle, who had re-
sided for q nurAbcr of years back in
Paris, in which city he recently died.
Hp left fortune of $2,jO0,0OO, and by
the terms of his will this large amount
of money is divided among six relatives,
one of Thorn being Mr.. Collins The
latter is also made executor of the es-
tate. and is now preparing to take pos
session. Nothing has been said about
the matter, rs the heirs are perfectly
aware of the fact that in ovcrhauline
the estate another will may be found
which will put different face on the
matter. But while this is possible, it is
not at all probable.
Mr.. Collins was formerly one of the
proprietors of the Chronicle, and, after
disposing of his interest in that paper
some years ago, located in the South,
and was engaged in operating an ey-
tcnsivc plantation in Florida. He was
afterwards connected with the press OF
Louisville, and has recently returned to
that city. At present he holds aposition
on the editorial staff of the Telegraph.
He is II graceful writer with the faculty
of making his words cut when the oc-
casion demands; is gentleman of the
most pleasing type, and one to whom
kind fortune comes dcscrvcdly.

Bennett as a Pilot,

James Gordon Bennett is probably the
most eccentric rich young man in the
world. When he gets n spasm he is
liable to do the most unsupported things.
He has n yacht that cost him about a
quarter of million dollars. in which he
roams about the high seas. He was at
Villefranche, not long ago, and one day
he went aboard his yacht and sent the
captain and mate ashore. ami attempted
to run the yacht himself The other
craft had to get up steam. and go away
out into the broad ocean to keep from
being run down. He run into French
gunboat, and frightened several sea cap
tains out of their boots. and then headed
his yacht for shore and landed her high
and dry on the beach. On being offer
ed assistance to get the boat off he de-
clned, saying he run her ashore for his
own amusement, and the boys could
launch her again. The impression is
abroad tina: Bennett was drunk, but he
was only allowing his budding genius q
little holiday. Bennett should be made
secretary of the American navy, If he
can scare anybody with his boat.-Peck's
