Absent-nindcd.
Georc Harding, Esq., the distin
guished Philadelphia patent lawyer,
ami a brother of William Harding,' the
accomplished editor of tlie Philadel
phia Inquirer, is remarkable for a re
tentive memory.
on Saturday Mr. Harding rode
down to Wall street in a Broadway
omnibus. At Stewart's a beantlftil
young Lady got In and hauled fifty
cents to tlie distinguished attorney,
requesting mm 10 pieasc nauu it to roe
driver.
"With pleasure." said Mr. Harding,
at tlie same time passing the fifty cciita
through the hole to the driver.
The driver made the change, ami
handed forty cents back to Mr. Hard
ing, who quietly put It away In his
vest pocket and went on rending a
mowing-maciiinc brier. Then an was
silence.
Soon the young lady asked about
the Brookllu Ferry. Mr. Harding
replied to tlai question with courtesy.
'ii the boats run from rv all street
to Astoria?" continued the young la
dy. "1 don t Know, madam, repiieu
Mr. IL. petulantly, "I'm not n resi
dent of New York; I'm a Phlladel-
phiau. '
"Ah ! yes" (then a silence).
Mr. Harding again buried himself ill
his brief, while the young ladya-hem-ed
and asked him what the tare was
in tlie New York stages,
"Why. ten cents, madam-ten
cents."
"But I gave you fifty cents to give
to the 1 1 river." interrupted the young
lady, "and"
"Didn't he return your change ? Is
It possible? Here, driver!" he contin
ued, dropping his brief and pulling the
strap violently, "why the dickens
don't you give tlie young lady her
change forty cents, sir; forty cents!''
"I did give her the change ; I gave
forty cents to you. and you put It In
your iotket." shouted back the dri
ver. "To me?" said Mr. Harding, feeling
In his vest pocket, from which his fin
gers brought (Hit tour ten cent notes.
"Gmolous goodness! Madam! I beg
ten thousand pardons; but but"
"Oh, never mind," said the lady
eyeing him suspiciously ; ' 'you know
a" lady in Xew York lias to lookout
for herself. It's no matter it wasn't
tlie forty cents"
"Goodness gracious! my dear wo
man" and then the tlie stage stop
ped and the young lady trippeu away.
Mr. Harding has been so excited
alwut the affair that he went back to
Philadelphia this morning a ruined
mail, lie even forgot to take a ten
thousand dollar tee which Ketehum
was to pay him in a mowing machine
case, lie savs he'd rather pay $10.
000 than let the Philadelphia fellows
get hold of the story, for fear they
would be asking him what he did with
tlie poor woman's forty cents.
A Touching Incident.
In speaking of tlie flood which was
so disastrous in several sections of
Virginia, the Lynchburg papers
send the following sad event :
A mother and several little chil
dren wore making tlieirescape from
a narrow neck of land, which lies
between the river and the canal,
when they were amazed to find tliat
the bridge was already gone, and
that their only hope was to o'ingon
to the abutment of the bridge until
tlie angry waves should subside.
Jiut as they stood there clinging to
the abutment, the waters continued
to rise higher and higher, while iu
the deep darkness they could hear
the crashing 0f trees amid the thun.
tiers of bridge timbers that were
wildly lashing all around them.
They had been in' this dosperate
condition for sometime, when the
little girl felt that her stranoUi wan
gone, and with a wild shriek often
ror she exclaimed, "Itiw me mother.
for I can't hold oh any longer!"
Ana with the wafhi pressure of the
mother's lips upon her cheek she
swept away and was mvn no more,
