He used to carry on his dealings through two or three of the old Third street firms, long since gone out of business, but of late years most of his orders to buy or sell stocks had been given directly to New York brokers without the intervention of Philadelphia houses.

A LovER's FANCY.

The withered brown leaves lie In clusters beneath her feet; They were glad to fade and die To make her pathway sweet; And each scattered flake of snow In amorous longing seeks To melt away in the glow
 Of her warm and crimson cheeks. And the rays of the setting sun Steal ninety billion miles To catch a sight of one
 Of her rare and brilliant smiles; And the stars of evening fight At the close of the dying day To be first to greet her sight With a feeble twilight ray: And the dull old earth rolls on With a slow and steady gait, And his solemn mind upon
 His sweet and precious freight No wonder he seems afraid
 To enter the comets race; He is bearing queenly maid Through the dizzy realms of space. Harry Romaine, in New England Mag azine
