BY MARY KYLE DALLAS. Concluded. ‘Forty dollars,’ she repeated, ‘ and the macliine but fifty, and he’s taking it. I never failed until Jim broke bis leg, and his werk stopped and his wages with it, and I'd docter’s bills, and all.’ ‘No, that she didn’t,’ cried a voice from the crowd. ‘Iam knowing to her henesty.’ * And he’d better be off with bis cart,’ cried a man who had stalked out of the entry of the house near which the crowd gathere, rolling up his sleeves. ‘ Look here, good people,’ exclaiming the man who held the machine. ‘I don’t want to do this, 1 obey orders or loose my place,and my bread and butter. Swe’d better go to the boss and talk to him— not to me.’ ‘Lye been,’ said the woman. ‘ He's made of stone. I told him he'd starve us. He will. There, what is the use of my fighting like a drunken body in the streets-—me, a decent woman ! They have got more than the worth of the thing now, God know’s; but they’ve the power. Take it.’ And she let go her hold and covered her eyes withher hands. But in the place of those rough, red fingers others, dainty and small,and well gloved, came down upon the cover of the machine. Emma Rome had pressed forward, and now spoke : ‘Stop,’ she said. ‘Will you let this woman keep her machine if I pay you ten dollars ?’ ‘Them/’s the boss's orders, Miss,’ re- plied the man, ‘and I'd be glad todo it, too.’ Then, while the crowd gathered close. and the woman who had told her piteons tale sobbed with joy, Kmma drew the sum named from her purse, received in return a receipt, which she gave to the poor woman, and experi- enced for the first time the delight which the performance of an utterly unselfish act briugs with it. Moreover, when the machine had been borne up stairs, Emma, who had exchanged a few words with its owner, followed herto her miserable room, noted its poverty, heard all the bitter tale. It was a true one—the hot tears told that. ‘But I don’t miod anything now, Miss.’ sobbed the narrator. ‘ Now the machine is my very owo. I dont mind how 1 work. And the only great tug is the |andlord—four dollars a month for rent.’ ‘As much a month as a yard of that trimming,’ thought Emma, with a little pang. She questioned the woman further, and found that her landlord ‘ lived dewn stairs.’ And before she turned from the doorshe had emptied her purse and had paid the three months rent in ad- vance. “Your husband will he well and at work by that time,’ she said, and there were no regrets for the lost fringe as she took her way homeward. Nay, Farine remarked, with a glance that said volumes ‘Tho black lace from your old gre- nadine dress? Certainly, sinco it is our taste.’ The dress, however, was not unbe- coming, despite the refurbished lace, and Emma wore it to the party. She was quite conscious that every woman of her acquaintunce knew what the dress was trimmed with, but her con- science whispered to her that she had done right. Somehow Arthur Main found himself more than ever before attracted by it, and as she drove home that night, Emma felt that the mar- guerite which had said to her, ‘he loves, had been no false prophet. She had learned two lessonsin a little while. One, that the poor might be clothed and fei from the trimmings of the rich; the other, that extrava- gance in dress never yet won any man’s heart She never forgot either. ——-- “+a Read and Learn for Yourself. Many valuable discoveries and much use- ful knowledge is kept from the world, be eause of the immense expense in making them known to the people. This is not the ease with Boschees German Syrup, although but a few years introduced into this ¢coun- try, its sale now reaches in every town and village in the U. S. Its wonderful success in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Pneumonia, Asthma, and all other diseases of the throat and lungs, was first made known by distributing every year, for three years, over 400,000 bottles to the afflicted, Sree a! charge, by Druggists. No such a test of merit was ever given before to any other preparation. Could you ask more? Gu to your clruggist and get a bottle for 75 cents and t:y it.

G. Bourinot, assistant clerk of the House of Commons, has had a paper on the national development of Canada ac- cepted with much pleasure by the Colonial Institute, London, England, and it will be read by the Secretary at an early meeting of the institute. The public of Canada will look for the paper with much interest as Mr. Bourinot has made constitutional de- velopment a special study. The body of Mrs. Sarah Mills, a lady of 73 years old, was stolen from Pleasant Ridge Cemetry, Cincinnatti, U. 5., on Saturday night. Her son came to the city in search of the body among the medical colleges, and found it on the dissecting table of Plute College, with the head cut off and otherwiso mutilated. Two students were hacking away at the corpse when the gon entered the room. The body was fully identified and surrendered. A Doterut State or Tuincs.—A writer in the Atlantic Monthly for December has been on a visit to Kansas, and gives a very doleful account of the farmers in that State. The date of the writer’s visit was in June. He found the people living in shanties, dis- couraged and suffering many privations ; those who bought lands of the railroads were hopelessly in debt, while those who took up homesteads were equally miserable. He found crops uncertain, tke prices unre- munerative, and the farmers only staying because they lacked the means to leave the country. The cost of the Atehin war has now had the result that in the present year the Dutch National Debt, which had been in gradual course of reduction for a century, will be inereased rather than diminished. Be- tween the years 1850 and i878, Holland paid off 360,000,000 guilders and saved in- terest to the amount of 10,000,000. In the latter year the National Debt amounted to 912,000,000; in 1880 the National liabi lities will be 953,090,000 guilders. Of the 300 millions paid off in 30 years, nearly 200 millions were found from the Indian revenue. The war in Atchin has abolished the annual Indian surplus. The latest sensation is furnished by a youthful but ambitious elec- trician named Freeman, from Racine, Wisconsin, who claims to have put Edison in the shade in solving the problem of the perfection and utilization of electric hyht. He claims to have discovered a prepara- tion of carbon so that it will burn a month without renewal ; also, that he controls the current and can lower or elevate the flame in the same manner that gas is used, but he can distribute 100 lights and give 600 candle power to each, and can conduct light over 20 miles of wire. He states further that he will soon give an exhibition in Chicago. A Sorr Answer.-—One day at the dinner table in a Washington hotel, when the din- ner hall was well filled, Capt. Jones finish- ed his dinner first, got up and walked al- most to the dining-hali door, when Emer- son spoke to him in a loud voice and said : ‘Halloo, Captain! see here; I want to speak to you a minute.’ The captain turn- ed and walked back to the table and bent over him, when Emerson whispered : ‘ I wanted to know how far you would have gone if IThad not spoken to you! The Captain never changed a muscle, but straightened up and put his fingers in his vest pocket and said in a voice loud enough for all to hear him: ‘Captain Emerson, I don’t know a man in the world I would rather lend $5 to than you, but the fact is I haven’t a cent with me to-day,’ and turn- ed on his heel and walked away. Emerson was the color of half-a-dozen rainbows, but he had to stand it. He never heard the last of it, and it cost him move than $10 to treat on it. °° ———_ MENJATURE ALMANAC, SUNDAY..........
