Kvery body outside tli office of Jonathan Greysark A Co., Kast India merchant, of Hooil-lanu City, knew Mr. Jonathan Grtsysark simply xa very well-to-do Uachulor of livu-Riui-forty fre.li.facel, wll-tlriMd, genial nnd afTaWe an a man tolerably wull fittud out with the x4 thiii.t of this life, and imhaiHiHircstl by tiwand onciimbranch should lw. Uut Mr. Philip Tenn, wIiom dys were passed wU.hn th office, rejiirded his wtmlthy and popular employer frow a somewhat lirlrent joiat of vhw. Mr. Vmn had bynw steadinesu and bufiinew knowl wige in no small ikgrw helpod Jonathan Grcysark to his Niviablu position in the commercial world; he hail served the house faithfully for upward of twenty years, yet he was still simply a clerk, in which position, desnite frequeHt prayer.-! mul petitions, Mr. Greysaric was apjmrentiv leterinmea to keep him until the tune mine for dis pensing; entirely with liw Miricw. Al togetner, jwor reim iiiu ws oy no means a happy one, for, in addition to M commercial troiiblen he Iind nn eternally grinning domestic skeleton in the shape of a blackguard brother, who had flood in the fid oil's dock on a charge of extensive forgery, had pand nmn wnrHiii iineuu, ami who now cowhl only be kept quietly in the back rround by the allowance which the un ortHRate Penn mmle him wit of the ex eeedingly moderate salnry lie drew from w WHi-iHne office. Ureywirk knew this and was ateo aware that a tr. nwhed name wm an inuiijierablu lmr to his clerk's advance in any other line of life; so he meanly took advantage of the fact by getting a most unfair amount of work out of Fenn. and iav ing him a miserable inadmimie salary for it. 1 J Jonathan Greysark lived at Brighton. aim came up to nwn even morning by the 8:15 expres. In this famous train he had acquired from lonirutmire a jireecriptive riglit to a particular in a jmnicuiar upnumrtiuent ol a particular carriage, and the guard nflerd a considerable reiluction in Iuh weekly jargesse it he allowed a stranger to usurp hia place.

'My business exjiorience has taught me that oao personal intcniew is worth a doxun letters." "So it is, as a areneral rule. Mr. Greysark," replied the okl lady. "Hut Mr. Fleming's movements are so uncertain, his business so frequently taking him awaj' from home, that the course I have suggested would, I think, be the better.' And, after a little sreneral conversa tion, Mr. Grevsark took his leave. rsolvcd that he would without delay formally propose to Phyllis, and if her answer should 1ms favorable, as he had not the slightest reason to doubt it would be, indite his letter to Mr. Fleming. Accordingly, the next morning. upon arrival at London bridge, instead of handing Phyllis into a Mansion House omnibus, as usual, he insisted that she should walk there with him. And, by the time King William's statue was readied he had poured out his soul to her, and received iier ready assent k nis projMsai, conditional upon tlte approval oi ner father.

Perhajw the old lady hml forgotten to forward his missive. OW ladies, so strangely mindful of iong-past occurrences, were, lie knew, often oblivious about matters present. Ferhaiw-lmt he shuddered at the thought, aud east it from, him for Phyllis was too good, too honest, too much of a lady, to be a base and cruel; on the other hand, possibly Mr. Fleming was instituting inquiries. It was natural that an affectionate father should do so. and every time Penn brought in a visitor a name the merchant extracted to hear "Mr. Robert Fleming" announced. On the Friday afternoon ha oallsd in Mr. Penn. "Kindly shut the door," hu said; "I have something of imnortanon to speak to you about." Mr. Penn obeyed, and anxiously inspected his employer's face.

In fact, I propose to take a partner, and by so nvmig iu uiiwv wiin me necessity oi paying a liaudsomo salary to a head clerk." J 'Mr. Greysark!" almost shrieked poor renn. "Uo hear me.

You will please be particular about this. 1 must say, Mr. renn. that 1 am not a little astonished that, re membering, as you must, what I have done for you, and how with your tarnished name you might long ere this have been begging your bread but for me, yon should presume to offer me advice on my own affairs.

The clerk lingered in tho room, as If in hopes thnt some straw might still be ett to ciuton at. i hen tie saut: "Mr. jftysark, you observed just now that the fact ot your marriage depends upon the consent of thu young lady's father."

A FRIGHTENED HUNTER. Mmw m aaMMa AmortM Hmumgm Three 8vsgM. The island of Formosa, off the coast of China, is divided, east and west, by a ridge of mountains, like a backbone. The western portion is inhabited by quief, industrious agriculturists, while the other side of the meuntains In peopled by a race of savages, who have the reputation of being cannibals. A short time ago a United States expeditionary steamer visited the island, and a party of officers went ashore on the west coast The beach was crowded with jieoplo men, women and ahildren the males of almost every age being armed, as they exist in a stato of peretual warfare with their savage neighbors of the east coast. One of the party, in describing the visit, says: Whenever wc evinced a disposition to ascend the bushy sides of the neighboring hills, they became greatly alarmed, caught hold of our clothes, throw themselves in our paths and' made signs to us that our throats would be oortamly'cutand wo roasted by bad men who were very strong and fierce, and who wore large rings in their ears. We did not know what to make of this at first, but Hart man, one of our party, who had wandered off by himself in search of snipe, rejoined us shortly before dark, and opened our eyes. Having unconsciously wandered over the lowland and ascended a neighboring elevation, he had seated himself upon a fragment of rock, and was admiring the view which oened before him, when his oars suddenly caught a sound as of some animal making its way cautiously through the bushes. He turned quickly, and saw a party of three, whom he had no difficulty in recognizing as "bad men, who wore large rings m their ears." Here was a fix for our innocent sportsmen. He must either retire ignoininiously, or face boldly the unlocked for danger. Fortunately, he was a man iff nerve, aud was, moreover, armed with a shot-gun, bowie knife and revolver. Choosing, therefore, tho latter alternative, Tie arose with a great air of non-she-lan-cy (as I once heard the word pronounced by an American who had been to Paris), and advanced to the nearest; a tall, tine-looking fellow, and lixed his gaxe curiously upon him. Hartman says that lie whistled with consider able success portions of a popular air as he thus went, as it were, into the lion's mouth, but never before felt such a longing to lie safely on board his ship. He soon joined the princely-looking savage, and as the others drew near, lie made a careful but hurried survey of their jwrsonal appearance, exchanged a Mexican dollar for a bow and arrow of one of them, and then leisurely retraced his way, until an intomming clump of trees enabled him with safety to call upon his legs to do their duty. Ho ran for a mue or more before evincing the slightest ouriosityto know if he was followed. TwrfA's'Cewywato. SECOND-HAND DINNERS. A New Traite Wklek Mm Lately SwMf Up fa Large CitlM. The immense business of the big hotels and the amount of refuse turned out of them have been the cause of the institution of a new trade. It is that of "broken-food collector." There is a shorter and more pointed term applied to the class by those who deal with them. But this appellation best ex presses their business. It may not be generally known, nor may it bj appetizing to persons who live at some of the very cheap restaurants about town, that part of the provender served has already made its appearance in far more delectable quarters. But such is the case. Chops and steaks and even other edibles which have occupied the nlatna of dinars in imrli.tniwul hntnk and have only been nibbled are turned ! out among ig the refuse of the kitchen! and bought up by big dealers who find an of ic available for some purpose. and who make pro tits of many thou i... .... . sands of dollars at the business, and, first of all, these find a market among the "broken-food collectors." Still shapely steaks and cuts, tinharrasscd chops and joints that retain their fiber ana juices, are gathered by the collector and by him retailed amour the eheap restaurants, where they are served up anew to customers less fastidious or unaware of the "ohestnut" character of their meal. 0f course, this practice has been generally kept under, cover by restaurateurs in deference to the feelings of thoir own captious patrons. Hut of late a few of them notably one on the extreme cast side, a little1 off Grand street, have boldly put themselves forward as champions of the second-hand dinner and announce themselves as such. What hi more, theru seems to have en no falling off in their custom. In fact, it has increased. And doubtless the philosophy that sends a man to a dealer in misfits or second-hand clothing with an exiectat4on of finding raiment of superior texture and out at very low rates has led the patrons of these restaurants to willingly expand a small sum for savory viands which they think but little discounted by having lalh ett some leas hungry but mora wesilhy beina-'s disk A K
