Some of the most valuable ! letters received at the Dead-Letter Office, those containing bills or drafts to a large amount,'' either jack postage or address, or else have insufficient or cancelled stamps. ' Every month forty, tjiousfind f)f such letters ,are examined, and last year $3,000,000 dollars in checks and drafts and ;: 75,000 in cash were found iu them If the persons who thus sent the money can be found, for often. there is np signature to the letter, it is returned to him; if not, it is turned over to the postoflice fund Of course there is very little diffi culty in restoring ther checks oil drafts. , , : , ,,..,,;.,;., Every year hundreds of letters, containing money areJlost,tbt ar sent by subscribers to pay lbf newspapers.

The fig ures for the latter are to a great'ex tent dependent upon estimates,lut the exhibition of the financial op erations of the religions organiza tions of New York is probably reli able. A summary of s the expendi tures is as follows: . Operation. Benevolence . $1.381,M1 , 1,125,000 Protestant churches, $2,1)93,785 Rom. Cath. churches 1,125,000 It is evident that the expense per apita is much greater in the Ro man Catholic churches than iu the rotestant, for the Catholic is nu merically far the strongest denomi nation in the city. The Episcopal membership is 25,526, the Presby teriau 21,590, the Methodist 13,359 and the Baptist 12,725. No other denomination has a membership of 10,000, although there doubtless are several mem Iters of each Protestant enomiuation to each church mem ber. It is surprising that the re- igious work of the city costs so lit tle. A large part of the expendi tures for benevolence is devoted to mission work outside of New York, so that the total of. operating ex- peuses, $3,218,735. is almost the whole cost of religious, work on Manhattan 1 Island. 1 There ' are about 7,000 drinking saloons there to the 421 churches, and the amount xpended for drink is about $25,- 000,000 annually. The people pay much more for tobacco than for re- igion. No hesitation need be felt in asserting that the 16,500,000 ex pended by the churches in New York this year, including $775,224 for church building, will accom pu.su vastly more good man any qual amount expended for any purpoae whatsoever, w nen it is seen how much the churches ac complish with a compara ively small amount, there ought to be more freedom in contributing to their treasuries. , i - HE MARRIAGE PORTION. There lived, about - five . or six miles from Easton, Pennsylvania, a few years since, an honest farmer named , Henderson, who had two very pretty daughters, Ellen and M aude. The first was about twenty- three years of age, while the latter was but uineteen. s The farmer wag thrifty, and well-to-do; the family wed 'in excellent style and the daughters had received good edu cations. Both of these girls were pretty.but Maude was perhaps the handsomer. There was no lack of attentive young . gentlemen at the farm, though the neighborhood was not very thickly settled. But "beauty draws us by a singeler hair," and the young ladies were the centre of a gay little circle of friends. By and by it came to pass that an earnest,' handsome and sturdy young farmer fell desperately in ove with Maude and propsoed to her. On her part she loved Harry 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, a kind-hearted, sym pathetic parent, who saw no objec tion to the choice of her daughters, but was left witn tne tatner to tie. cide tj ; ij .? : .H t Henderson was a very; straight forward and open-mouthed man. That is, he said exactly what he meant, no more or less, and that he uttered freely. When Ilarry Mas ters called him on one side and told his especial errand as to Maude,the father said: "Well Masters Maude is young,1 I wanted Ellen' to be married first: she's oldest, and have got a marriage portion of $1200 to give her; but I haven't laid by anything yet for Maude." ' "I have got pretty well before hand, Mr. Henderson, for a man but twenty-lour years old and we shall be able to do very well, I have no douDt." "You meau you'll take Maude without any marriage portion!" said the father. ' "Yes, sir, very gladly." "Well, it's pleasant to hear you say so, because it shows your honest affection, Mr. Masters, but I am too proud to let Maude marry nntu can give" her a thousand or two to wards housekeeping." "it is not worth waiting lor, sir. as long as we really don't need and both are content." it "Then, again, I'd rather Maude wouldn't marry until her sister married, because she's so much older; do you see, it will actually make her an old maid. It isn't lair Mr. Masters." , v :' ; "E"en is very popular with the eentlemcn, and will soon be marri ed," said the other. "That's just what I have said myEi! and then I sl;;.'d tc:a aibt i at i ? the only objection -snd oon! ' s: J Ilarry 2,!as- r. ters, "Why, yes; you are a pronuiirT and resectable youn? man, s.ui come of a g jod; family,'? said tli farmer: but I can't let ManV o until I have got together a res ec table marriage portion to give with her hand." . ' s.i w t "Perhaps you will think more favorable about it," said the lover. "I'll speak with you again.? . "Al right, Mr. Masters." Harry and Maude were very fond each other, aud now talked over the matter very seriously. Maude could not blame her father and did not herself like the idea of going tp Harfy without a proper portion to contribute to their joint partner ship in domestic life. ,; 7 , ' :, "Never mind, Harry said, the handsome youug girl, 1 "Ellen w ill soon be married. 1 1 have pretty good reason for knowing." " ' "Ah, but then your father says he wants time to pick up a' mar riage 1 portion for you, and 1 thai will take three or four years, per haps." -:' ! ' "That is a good while, is it not, Harry!" said Maude, just blushing a little, for lear it sounded lorward and bold.:;.,;, ' , !,..;., -,j ., . "It's ages!" said the young fellow. "Think of waiting three years-why we shall be old folks , by that time:" v.-, , . . :,; "Not quite so bad as that," .said Maude. , , ,, , .. (, . , , . "Im sure my hair will be gray by that time!" "Nonsense, Harry! Now you are joking." ; y . "I was never more earnest in my life," said he, as he has stole a ' kiss Iroui her pretty lips and ran away,; so an not to hear chide him for his boldness. "Maude," said her father, coming into the house from the bam, "I wish you would ride the sorrel mare into Easton and get this hundred dollar bill changed at-the bank The workmen ; have got done with the roofing of the barn and I want to pay them off to-night." ; ',i "Very well, father., ; Let ..John put the side-saddle on and 1 will be ready in a lew minutes." i . The sorrel mare was brought up to the qoor, and Maude , was soon on her way at an easy hand gallop towards Easton: she had a excellent seat, and was a good . horsewoman As she knew this very well, she would not have objected to have Harry see her just now: but he: had gone a few moments, before in an opposite direction. When Maude got into Easton she rode directly to the bank, but ' was unfortunate enough to find that :it was already closed. , , After , a few moments thought she .resolved to try to get the note changed at the grocer's or at some of the other stores, and went immediately to do so. Fate seemed against her, for no one had small change enough to accommodate Miss Henderson. ' At one of the stores where she stopped a very gentlemanly-looking person took out his pocketbook and said he thought he could change it tor her, and she banded him the bill nit he returned it after closo scru tiuy, alleging that he did not have euough change. . . v i She was forced to give , up her errand, as she did not like to run about among strangers, asking them to change her a bill, especial ly as no one seemed able to do so, She therefore turned her! horse's head , once more towards home Scarcely had she passed the out skirts ot the town when she was overtaken by the stranger who had spoken with her in the last store, and who at first thought he could change her bill. He was mounted ngon a fine-looking bay horse, and saluted her respacttully as he came alongside. "Did you get your bill changed!" he asked. 'No; small bills seemed scarce,' she replied. , i j n i "Do you live near here !'.' J'About five miles." r . . ."Quite a ride!" i , . , - "Oh, we don't mind five miles in the country." "You are an excellent rmer." "l nave ridden since l was six years old,'' she said ; "but my sis ter Ellen is a better rider than am." . . "You are generous to admit it,' said the stranger. , , , "Why, it is only the truth," she answered, friendlv. 'After they had passed over about two miles, they came to a very lone ly piece ot road, quite .removed from any dwelling houses. Still, as the stranger appeared to be geutle manly, aud had addressed her so politely, she had not the least sus picion of any evil intention on his part. , ' ... i 1 Presently he said suddenly, "I will thank you for that bill t" ' "What?" said she, half smiling. , "Please to give me that bill." ."What do you mean!" . asked Maude. - "Jn t wkitl say!" Le is;'.: 1, sii-.'. '.. i.'y. "I si., 1 do no such thing," she ar'wfn 1 frr.ly. ' I t .y 1 j draw a pistol r; c i the aust I at .on to t t 1 'dar-L 1 .ve thai 1 ,ce.7' - "Do you mean to rob me !', "I must have the money P It was. still with difficulty that Rhi believe that the raau was". in enwt, b"t wrf'n hr 'T oeked his pistol and held it towards her with one handwhHe he - extended the other for the bill, she was forced to yield to the necessity of the situation.. She was a brave hearted girl, and even now did not turn pale nor tremble in the least, but saw that she could not help herself, and so made the best of it. Just as she held out the bill to him a 'sudden puff of the wind blew it into the road and carried It gen-f tly several yards from : them. The Stranger alighted . to get it, ; and quick as thought Maude struck her norse a smart blow in order to eet eht of, the 'robber's -'power.1 1 The sorrel mare was a spiiiteil little creature ; and sprung into a smart gallop at once, while the stranger's horse, which had been left standing beside her, also started off; at ' full speed in her company ! i; 4, ,' , , , ' Bang! went the robber's 'pistol after themJ having only the effect to increase the speed of the flying horses, both of whom were now on the dead run. i Maude did not care now iasi sue rode, tue! sorrel was as easy as a cradle ' at that speed, and in ten minutes slib dashed into her father's yard followed by the riderless ride Her story was soon told, and her latner was with difficulty preveuted from starting after the robber with his pistols and Title, , but he knew that the scoundrel would naturally tafce at once to the woods, where he cpuld uot follow or find him. , "Well, we've got his horse, at any rate," said the farmer ; "and he is worth more than $100." "Hallo!' said the man John, who had been taking the saddle-bags lrom the strange horse "What is it John !" "These bags is full of s6mething." "I should think so," "said the farmer, as. he unskapped the leather bags. They were found to contain some counterfeit plates, a quantity of counterfeit money, in various bills, and also a little over $1500 in good money. , "Huzza !" cried the farmer. "What is it, father t" said Maude "Why your trip to Easton has proved a profitable one at all events. Here's over f 1500 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 1 to say nothing or highway robbery." 1 ' "I didn't think of that." - That evening Henderson sent John over to young Masters w ith a message to call round and 'see him, to which Harry responded in stantly. - -',;; ,.i :; "Mr. Masters," said the farmer, as he came into the large,: old-lash loned sitting-room, "yon ; remem ber what you asked of me this after noon V', v ',,( ; vii.: .. :-;' via "Yes, sir." trV-'-'.ii "Well, I ; give my consent Maude has just furnished her own marriage portion.
