FURNISHING timi In a little village church in a small country place, a small congregation gathered together on Sunday. Ever^’ pew bold people well known to each other, amt who knew each other’s busi ness. Nobodv there but had heard that Thomas Benton had courted An nie Redwood, and how all was going on well, when the two grandfat hers quarrel» <1 about an acre of ground in a stony, unprospective spot, and a family fi ml commenced, and they were sepa rated. And there the obstinate old grand fathers sal, not caring a whit for all the trouble they had caused, and nev er forgiving each other’s tre-passes, de-pite the fact that they repeated Hie Lonl’s piayer together every Sunday. Sometimes in Summer there would be stiangers from the city in church; but now it was Winter, and every one w< rdered to see a large old woman in a great fur hood come in church, and seat herself in a back pew. Who she was no one could guess, and why she came to church with such a cold as slit» seemed to have was a wonder to all. She coughed loud and long, interrupting the sermon and the prayer, and at la-t was seized with .such a fit of choking that every head in the church was turned, She seempd to try to ri-e, and found herself unable to do so. '1 hen Annie Redwood leaned toward her mother and whispered: “It’s a shame! People ought to be more Christian-like in their conduct, i’ll go and help her out.” 'I h»m she ar».se and went softly down the ai-Ie, and bent over the old lady and whispered something, on which the poor ol»l soul Arose and look her arm, and they went out together. The coughing was heard out-ide for a mo ment or two, butL^he services went on is before, and no one wondered that Annie Redwood di»l not return. The family exp»»cte<l to find her when they reached home, of cour-e; i lit she was not there. She did not come in to dinner, nor did she come io tea. By evening mm-h alarm was felt, and itujuiries were made, but wit Lout avail. No one had seen the girl since she left the church doors. There was a Sunday train t»i a large city, and a man kept watch at the sta- iiou all the day. He, seeing fewer passengers on Sunday than at any oth er time, had notice»! them all. The old woman in the plaid shawl had come Io the station, hut Miss Red wood was not with her. A young man had been with the old lady. The old lady could not be traced af ter that, ami nothing inóte was heard of Annie Red wood. Many thought the old woman was -ome dreadful person iu disguise, who had murdere»! Annie for the handsome watch and ring she wore. The woods were searched, the pond- dragged, hut in vain; and the poor gill was at last given up for lost. The old people had been cruel to her about Thomr.s; now they shed bitter and unavailing tears, How much bet- ter it would have been to let Annie marry, and have her still with them. The oh I grandfathers shook hands for the first time in years. The families were reconciled; but Annie was gone, and uhat was the me? “If only I -knew what became of my girl,” sighed Mrs. Redwood. “Ah, yes, and if I knew my boy was alive,” said Mrs. Benton. A year passed, and it was the day that Annie had disappeared; and they had all gone to church as usual, and were going homeward. Mrs. Redwood was in tears. “I think of Annie all day to-day,” she suid. “O! it is more than I can besir. Who was the old woman? What did she do to my girl?” “O! mother there she is!” cried one of the daughters. All looked. Before them on the road trotted a large figure in a plaid cloak, coughing violently. The same old woman, no doubt. But who sup ported her? Who— “Annie!” screamed the girls togeth er; and screaming, sobbing, regardless of what .any might think of them, they surrounded the pair. It was Annie, alive and holding fast to the arm of the old lady she had helped out of the church a year before. And glad and angry, and a little ter rified, the Bentons and the Redwoods entered the Redwood homestead, and closed the door. “We thought you were dead, An nie!” sobbed the mother. “O, you have been cruel!” “But I see my death has reunited you all,” said Annie, returning the em brace. “All here but Tom.” “Oh, poor Tom,” said his ‘mother. “If he was only Imre too!” “But I must have an explanation,” cried Mr. Ili dwood, turning to the old j woman; “wlio are you, madam? and what life has my daughter led with you?” II O M EOPATHIC P 11 Y s I (' I A N , ÀNCA c GOODS I HoSne’s Ranch. near Keibyvillc.

A bankrupt law is an excellent pro vision for honest m*»r> who became in volved in debts that they cannot pay, for by providing for a settlement with their creditors, they are frequently able to start into business anew, and by industry and economy rebuild their broken fortunes. But it has been found impossible to frame a law that cannot be circumvented Ly dishonest debtors to defraud their creditors. That this is extensively done is shown by Mr. John Fitch, Register in Bank ruptcy, for New York City. He says, “it has become almost the universal practice in this city for merchants, knowing themselves to tie insolvent and bankrupt, to purchase merchandise to a large amount, make fictitious debts to friends, and then execute a general assignment to some friend, who takes possession of the place and continues the business, while tho assignee re mains in the store, or place of business as usual, and continues to live in style upon the proceeds. At the expiration of six months the friends unite and put them into involuntary bankruptcy, item which they are discharged, and their general creditors do not receive any dividend whatever.” This way of doing things often, and in fact general ly, di-courages the creditors, and proba bly they give up their cl aims. The New York Register demonstrates the fre quency of fraudulent bankruptcies by -bowing that in one thousand assign ments, with liabilities amounting to >4 0,000,0 on, the real assets only amount ed to $7,000,000. S topping the I nterest .—Diniel Webster once dined with an old Bos ton merchant,And when they came to the wine a dusty old bottle was careful ly decantered by John and passed to the host 'Faking the bottle, he poured out Mr. Webster’* glass and handed it to him. Then pouring out another glass for himself, he held it to the light and -aid: “How do you like it, Mr. Webster?”. “I think it is a fine specimen of old port.” “Now can you guess what it cost me?” said the host. “Surely not,” said Mr. Webster; “I only know that it is excellent.” “Well, now, I can tell you, for I made a careful estimate the other day. When I add the interest to the first price, I find that it costs me the sum of jn-t one dollar and twenty cents per glass’” “Go< >d gracious! you don’t say so,” said Mr. Webster; and then draining his glass he presented it again with the remark: “Fill it up again as quick as you can, for 1 want to stop Qiat confounded in terest.” S windling L ottery D evices .— General Jubal E trly, in a published letter, describes th»» method of cheat ing in lotteries. He says the usual method of cheating in single number lotteries is to issue tickets containing only 100 or 200 of the numbers in each thousand from the highest to the low est—say from one to one hundred thousand—and to leave these nun hers out of those placed in the wheel, so (hat however fairly the actual draw ing is made the ticket-holder has no earthly chance, because the number representing his ticket has never gone into the wheel. P oliteness in the S enate .—The United States Senators who ever served the longest terms were both North Car olinians by birth—Benton,of Missouri, and King, of Alabama. The former served thirty and the latter twenty- nine years. It is related, in reference to Mr. King’s extreme courtesy, that when he presided over the Senate the two Senators from Arkansas pronounc ed the name of their State differently, and that he punctiliously observed the difference. He invariably recognized one as “the gentleman from Arkan- •sau?,” and the other as “the gentle man from Ar-Zvi/i-sas.” S hort D resses .—It is stated that short walking dresses are the mode in Paris, and as American women are the slaves of the fashion in that fine city, it would be weW that they be not too long in finding out the facts about the short dresses. Let us congratulate the “fair” that between the practice of dragging their dresses through the mud and this other extreme of carry ing the long skirt in the hand, Paris has at last hit the true average by in troducing dresses that will neither sweep the pavements nor impede the wearers when walking.

E vils of G ossip .—I have known a •ountry society which withered away to nothing .under the dry rot of gossip only. Friendships, once firm as gran ge, dissolved to jelly, then ran away • <> wat« r only because of this; love that promised a future as enduring and as stable as truth, evaporated into a morn ing mist th it turned today’s long tears, only because of this; a father and a sou were set foot to foot with the fiery breath of an anger that would never cool again between them; and a hus band and a young wife, each straining it the hated lash which in the begin ning had been the promise of a God- hlessed love, sat mournfully by the side of the grave where all their love md all their joy I iy buried, and all be cause of this. I have seen faith trans* lormed to mean doubt, joy give place to grim despair, and charity take on itself the features of black malevolence, ami all because of the fell words of scandal, and the magic mutterings of gossip. Great crimes work great wrong, and the deeper tragedies of hu man life spring from the larger pas sions; but woful and mournful are the uncatalogued tragedies that issue from gossip and detraction; most mournful the shipwreck often made of noble na tures and lovely lives by bitter winds and dead salt waters of slander. So easy to say, yet so bard to disprove— throwing on the innocent all the bur den and the strain of demonstrating (heir innocence, and punishing theta as guilty if unable to pluck out the stings they never see, and to silence words they never hear—gossip and -lander are the deadliest and crudest weapons man has ever forged for his oruther’s lieart.— All the Year Round.

S ilver .—Dr. Linderman, the Di rector of our mints, is enough ot a sil ver man to believe that the fall in the price of silver during the past year is no argument against its use as money —indeed bethinks ftie main cause of its depreciation was the attempt not to use it as money. He gives the follow ing as the cause of the fluctuations, ranking in importance iu the order mentioned : First, change from the silver to the gold standard in Germany and Scandi navia; second, use of a forced paper currency in Russia and Austria and other States; third, diminished de mand for exports to India and China; fourth, the limitations placed on coin age ot silver by countries of the double standard; fifth, increased population. Increase in production is tho most insignificant of all.
