"No, sis, you're neither a little girl tier a baby, but just U'tween I'.ty mul sia.Hs, km one may say." Sirahpfavo an extra push to al ready well tied back muslin oveinkirt, and started for school with a Riumihler ing spark in her eye. 'It's true what tuther says," sho so lihxjuized an sho wont aiotig. "I'm too old to wear my dresses short, and too yottnsj to wear them long ; too old to let my hair go l.xxso and comfortabla, and to young for frim-a, puffs snl cils. And as the cows in the spring, when hay is gone and the giasa is not Hell grown, have to put up with odds tnd euls, so I have to take all Hat's and Jen's cast-off dresses and hats; or if there H anything awfully unlteconiiug to them, 1 get it, whether 1 like it or not. Then, in the work, what I have is just what every Ualy rise hates to do, like washing the dishes and cleaning the lamps -just, what iiolsxly gets credit for, either, onlv bhttue for not doing wU." I'-.- thia time this autbilious -ii 1 of ours had reaeheil tho school house ; but the teachet had an ongagrment, so the card attached to the door handle told the scholars. Sarah started at once to retrace hr steps, for it was a two-mile walk, with only here and (hero a few old apple trees to shield her from the sun's ;Urc. As she walked her thoughts rererted to the morning's conversation, partly, perhaps, because the scent of the new mown hay greeted l.cr.

Hhe had not scram bled half way up the steep hank Wore be came in sight, but to ber relief he was not riderless. 8juire Wait's boy reined him in with difliculty, just with in view, and turning in his seat, shout ed at the top of his voice, evidently to some ono in a neighboring field : "If Dr. Binslie ain't thome what'll Idol" Barau could not hear the reply, but the loy apjeared satisfied, for he quick ly settled himself in the carriage, ap plied the whip to the horse, and was out of sight in an instant. Sarah hurried np the bank, and looked over the wall at the top. At no great distance she saw a man lying on the ground and three more standing by him. In a moment she Faw who it was, and as she ran towards the group she guessed the truth, which was, that Squire Wait himself had received at the handd of one of his blun dering workman a eevere cut in the leg with a scythe, while mowing. The bright arterial blood was pouring from the wound, a deathlike pallor had over spree d the sufferer's face, and his eyes were already half-closed. Sarah whisked her muslin overskirt over her head like a flash. " Help me tear a broad bandage out of this r she cried. The men were dull-looking, plodding laborers, but one of them seemed en couraged by her air of determination, and in a moment from the back 01 the skirt a breadth was torn. Without any words Sarah tied a strong knot in this breadth. Then she stooped down, and with ono great heart-sinking, one cry of the flesh against the spirit, she lifted the rent garment irom the gaping wound to see just where it was ; then sho pressed the knot just above the wound with all her strength "John," said she, steadily, "tie this band under the leg, and one of you others go as quick as you can for a short, stout stick. The blood, already affected in its flow by her pressure, oozed more slowly from the wound. The g.ick was brought in a trice, and slipped under tbo band age where John had tied it in a Ijaid knot, "Now, John," said Sarah, calmly, "twist the stick till you tighten the bandage so that the blood shall stop al together." By this time poor Mrs. Wait, trem bling and terrified, arrived on the scene with a little, old-fashioned pocket bot tle of smelling saltR? and a cruet of vin egar wherewith to bathe ber husband's bead. These restoratives answered well enough until the doctor arrived. "You're a right smart, sensible girl," said the doctor, when he heard what Sarah had done. "Any one of you fel lows,"he continued, "could have stopped ti e blood, or mostly have stopied it, by IT lug the limb, abov tho wound, with vour fingers, till help could be got." Next morning Sarah stopped at the squire's gate to see how lie was. John was spiralling hay in a field close by, and he came out to the roaii to speak to her. P "I say Ah" said, contemplating her slight form with genuine admiration, "stir li a httlo creature as you to lis' ben so know in an' smart 1 Why, you i iii't be inere'n fourteen, or fifteen at tho outside." "Only tilteeu," answered Sarah, with a queer little sniilc. "Just between hay and grass." 'I never did see the Wat !" respond ed John. " llow'd you know so well what to dew ? That's what I'd like to know r "Oil ! I learned it at school," an IWMIwI Sarah, with a little air of at ronage aud humility combined. "You M -e, John, the bhsjtl that comes fretn the heart is blight ml, and comss in jets, as the heart beats ; didn't you no tice that r V-h ! yes ! I see his lifn was beatiu' away, but nothin' we could do wouldn't suit him ; and, in fact, there didn't seem to -e nothin' we could dew." "Well," continued she, finding that hi wandering thoughts had come hack aaiu, "when the blood comes that way, and is bright red like that, you must do something at once. V u must nut your force on a kuot, as I did, between the wound aud tho heart. And while a knotted bandage is getting ready you must hold the limb up as high as you can. That will check the blood. I forgot that at the time." "1 never did ecu the beat," answered John, his limited vocabulary allowing no more elegant phiaseology in which to express his wonder sud admiration. Ssiah was moving on when John called after her, saying, ' Say, it's a shame ! but those nutn-Lrud.-i went to work sad tore that pooty muslin thing of yours all to pieces, thinkiu because you asked for one bMadftgO fonM wast twenty more. Mis sus Wait was dretful sorry. Said if there had ben enough left fot an apron 'twouldn't La ben so bad." Sarah laughed and went on, smooth ing down a dustv alpaca overakirt an OM one of Jenny's ct down. A o a days after, the Karle family wre all in he kitclo-n at tea, a Io n knock came at the f'ont MOOT, II at til went 10 the d;si and it-turned directly with a package in hr hand, re ding the OUttido wr.ij 'er in a rather din gust,J tone s she walked in : TO lie- ii'tb- -.'ill who harns hT leas'ths at cliool so well." "Susie, of coitrs , ' said Sarah, with a lofty air ; for Uattio had looked at her, while Susie was aged hx. 'I don't know why it mayn't mean roo," retorted Hattta. "It look like Souire Wait's hnd. though a litlle chatty. .Sarah hud half a mind not to lak the proffered bundle.

Finerly I went into the nictat looking ti.-, and the one recommend ed the bigbaBtj and wj showed tho proper .ink for such things, aud says to him in a despairing way, expect : '.Snow me the genteelest, handsome and most suitable dress for a young lady of fifteen year.' He asked was you dark or bland ? Says I, 'Middling, with a rosy cheek, a bright eye, aud such a look as you might suppose a girl to have that tprp her bran now overskirt all to pieces to stop my husband from bleediug to death.' I cau tell you the folks near by was interested to hear all about it ; and one gentleman give me the book you find inclosed, with his re- sjectH. The end of it all was, that the head of the store came up and sold me the dress very reasonable, and leave to change it if you don't like it, and like wise put in a piece of muslin for a school overskirt, as near like yours as any I could see, free. With my earnest hopes that you will inake as good a woman as girl, I re- main your humble servant, M. R. Wait."

WAKHIN41T9N I I' l'l I It IrSOM (in BMII'LAR OOHftMrKUMT. Washington, l. 0., Jan. 20, 18KI. JtditCT Democrat 1 During tliu week the majority in Congress has lieen considerably cm Istrrrtssed by tho absenteeism which provalh to such an extent this yession. While there are 152 Democrats on tho roll and only 147 Is necessary to make a quorum, tho party is unable to asM any measure contested by tho Etopttbtlcallt, because no quorum of Democrats la In attendance. There are sevoral member elected as Dotno erats who ore not only weak-kneed and indifferent from a party stand point, but who urn also unfit legislat or and unfalthsul Jleprcsentativoa. This Is tho unvarnished truth. On Wednesday last, when the ele toral count resolution was up, there were 1 IM Demoerttn In tho city, but only 141 could be mustered on an attempt to pass the most Important political measure of the session - a measuro which ulono will relieve Chester A. Arthur of the power to determine and declare tho result of the next 1'rosi dential election. Home of these ab sentees wore at home, smo were at tbo Department attending to business in which they are privately Interest ed, and others weroeven leas decent ly oniployed. Of those who were In their scats, several would not remain an hour after their dinner tlmo ar rived, and left In spite of all remon strance. So lonir as the Deniocrorv must rely upon this sort of material it will bo a cold day when it doesn't got Icfu Aside from all jmrty con siderations, thl absenteeism Is moat n pri ht nslblo. A member of Ooo re.t.i has rcsponslbie duties to per firm and U exacted to attend to them n he agree to when he seeks and ohtalns an election. Jimmy O'Brien, of N-w York, has eared bean In bis Mt this o-.don.

Of all tho Democrats adrient I MM week but two had valid OTcnean And this ha wtt the cxerici,ie of the psrly since it came into power in the House, In tb 4ltb Oncre the majority was so large that fifteen or I went y nbteoleee yere not Bilgwtlj bu' In the hist two Congresses great difficulty batajra wn Mfftfttoetd in enajteettoa with every measure the K publican have chosen lo fight. Tho people should watch their repre aentatives and hold them to a rigid responsibility. Look for their names In the published roll-calls, and if they are not there call them to account. No man who shirks Lis duty 07 who is 00 lukewarm as to dodgo a square vote should be returned a second time. The politics of the present day de mand truer, sterner stuff than that One of the peculiar things connect ed with legislation iu Congress is the strange course usually pursued with refereuce lo contested seats. When the seat of a member Is contested It would seem right that an early inves tigation and settlement of the case be had. But that Is not the way It is done. The House Committee on Elections is one of the slowest com mittees in that body and ono that al most invariably reports upon the busb ness before it In the very last days of the session when the terra over which te contest arises has about expired In tho present Congress two cases have but Just been reported, though the facts were just as well known and as easily determined at the beginning of the session. In the Florida case Mr. Bisbee, a Republican, Is given tho seat occupied by Mr. Hull, and ao doubt he was entitled to it. Two years ago Bisbee was ousted from a . . . 8041 in tne mmo manner, and a pem ocrat gjven the sea,t which belonged to him. The result is that for two successive terms the same district has cost double for representation The man who In each Congress ren dered no service except during the last few days of the term draws pro cisely the same pay as one who has . . m. . , .1 - occupied the seat. There Is injustice lurking in this system, and such following after Republican precedents OUffht never to be tolerated in a Dem ocratio House. In one respect, however, the Dem ocrats havo shown how much greater Is their regard for fair plsy than that of the opposite party. During the six years of Democratic control in the lower branch of Congress CQrapara Uvely few eontests have arisen, and n very few ca9es has a Republican been unseated. Every contest has been settled upon its merits, and tfaere haye nQ chargeg of arti. , , , r zan acton' we shail'soon see how differently the other side wiU act. The Committee on RltetiOMOf the next House of Representatives will have more contested cases before It than wero ever brought in one (ongrows, If all who bavo signed their purpose to contest seals do so. Five out of tho six Democratic member from Mississippi havo Ikhmi notified that their seats will bo contested by Republicans. Several contested cast' will come up from Albamn, three from JiOuUians, three from South Carolina, one from Florida, ono from Arkansas, two from Virginia, ono or two from North Carolina and a num ber from ether States. Tho only mem ber from Mississippi who escapes a contest is Mr. Money, and there was no Republican candidate in hi dis trict. An impression seems to have gone out that tho Republicans intend to unseat a goodly number of Demo crats from the South in the next House, and nearly every msn who ran for Congress as a Republican from that section has given notlco of a c0u tost. Oreed of office is th cohesive principal of tho Republican party and the read i noes of the entire organiza tion to stand up as ono man in the perpetration of any purtiz:in outrage Is one secret of it success. I Hmioerat always look for redress in an appeal to ho ptOpto, but Is foro the day of reckoning comes round the wrongs are forgotten. A sigular accident, the effects of which have not entirely dinpieared, occurred to a member of the Hou-e of Representatives jtnt I fore holiday recess.

Its mud floors and Ktnall windows and low citings are striking novelties. After a lunch un friend and I saunterei through the town, wh;eli caiTies the Mexican stamp ujiou its face. The buildings are all of aiiobe, built one story high, and better as a claaa tb u those in New .Mexico. In fact, some of them were highly orna mental. As we neared the public s.piare, or pla.;i, we found a gay scene awaiting ua. The native . band from the garrison wens playing a medley of Spatiiah airs, and tin; plaza was tilled with ladies, young and old, in gay cos tumes, who promenaded without es corts, their natural protectors standing outside of tho circle and bowiug here and skece as they recognised acquaint ances. It wits a very pretty sight to an American unused to such .scenes. I found, ujion becoming better acquaint ed, that THE INHABITANTS are divided into threo classes, the "Up per Ten" laiing the Spanish merchants, whom I found refined and educated and with an elegant gentility about them, too often laoking among our own aris tocracy. The middle class are the native Mex ioan, and the lower tho Yaqui Indians, who havo been largely employed in grading the road between Ilermosilla and Guaymas. I was astonished to find that what we term slavery (here called peonage) is in full vogue. If a man becomes in debt to another for $10 he is placed in obsolute servitude until it is paid, and as wages vary from 10 to 35 cents a day, a man who onco gets behind $10 is hopelessly involved. Perhaps tho most noticeable cbarac teristic of Guaymas is the evident aver sion and hostility to anything that sa vors of progression. In transporting cargoes from the wharf to the custom house and thence to the business bouses, no drays or wagons are allowed to be used, because it takes away the lab jr of tbe men who "pack" everything on their backs, and in carrying water from tbo laige well which supplies the town the same law is in vogue, and a move ment to bring the water into town by pi.es was instantly squelched by the authorities. I made considerable inqui ry alsjut these mountains surrounding the town, but nothing seems to bare lueri developed in them fa far as ansa betmeeraed. Hack further from the ooast, however, there an many nine hebg sretked which are paying oaJe dully, and many Mn deserted ones where shafts were put down from 300 U 500 feet by the Spaniards yea,, HO, but which now contain mere or leso' water. In those early years tbeae miner were de.tituU of pomps and proper appliances necessary to free tbe hrt from water and many excellent mine wero destroyed by flooding. These abandoned mines have all revert ed to the government and can be bought for 1 nominal sum. I see here a rich ItU for soma enterprising companiea, for with oar modern hydraulic pumps these mines could be emptied at a com paratively small coat. When tho A.

Tbe climate here in tbe winter ia (Uj expreas it in a aiujlo word) perfeet, although in the town during tbe Rum mer months the thermometer ranges pretty high, owing to the mountain keeping out the sea breexe. Living U oouqiaratively cheap and comfortable, and from all accounts everybody is as healthy here anywhere. F. 8. P. KMirss. FBI ED Mil-: i . AXI I1ACOV.
