THE
VOL. 5.
TaIh r Evaporated Frnlti.
In no one department of farm economy
baa been so much interest manifested
within the last few years, as in the re
cent application of better methods and
appliances for this special purpose. The
old traditional dry house had so long
been turning out an insipid and low
priced article npon onr markets, that it
is even yet difficult to dispel the notions
entertained by many in regard to the
product of the modern evaporator. Be
tween the old driers, ovens and the sun,
our markets have been overstTcked with
unsavory dried frnite, the price of which
is becoming more and more depressed,
making it an unprofitable business for
the producer, and unsatisfactory to he
consumer.
The demand for evaporated fruits of
all kinds has more than kept pace with
the production, and prices have steadily
advanced as the supply has opened up
new markets, gainiug in general favor,
and entering into consumption as a
wholesome article of food, instead "of a
luxury. Consumers have learned that it
is cheap even at current prices, compared
with fruit put up in cans. Any one can
make the experiment by buying a pack
age of canned fruit, and its equivalent in
cost in evaporated fruits, and then at
tempt to put the latter after soaking in
water eight or ten hours into the empty
can. The saving of "cost in cans, jars
and freight will then also - be apparent.
In properly evaporated fruits there is no
loss except water; in fact, the pneumatic
evaporating process is a ripening pro
cess, ana improves tne quality of the
product.
The manufacture of evaporated fruit,
at the prices realized throughout the
past year and up to this time, invites the
closest investigation at the hands of or
chardists. The business is s now recog
nized as a legitimate industry. The
farmer and fruit-Krower cannot onlr
compete with the large stock companies
in ine quality of their product, t ut they
can profitably undersell their more pre
tentious rivals. While comparatively
few are engaged in the manufacture of
the best article, many are still making
the common dried fruit for which there
is no profitable market.
There are great quantities of apples
and peaches, too, that are specked only
"skin deep," but yet enough to damage
their sale in barrels fresh, that after the
skin is taken off are equal to the best,
and too, if wormy or bruised some, yet
enough to hurt their sale as fresh fruit,
by a little trimming cutting out the
bruised and wormy parts are as good as
the best, and thus used are saved to the
grower. : Pears, cherries, plums, rasp
berries, blackberries, and in fact, hun
dreds of thousands of bushels of dif
ferent kinds of fruit that are now going
to waste or bring but little in certain lo
calities, can be saved by evaporation.
This evaporated fruit when used is as
fine as fresh green fruit, and no person
can tell the difference in pies or sauce
msde from it and fresh apples. And as
to the' saviug to the consumer, a few
figures will show, suppose a person in
Kansas or Idaho wishes to order apples
for use in his family. He pays (includ
ing freight) from $4 to $5 per barrel laid
down at his door. A barrel of the fruit
will make about 15 to 20 pounds of evap
orated fruit say 10 pounds which laid
down at his door costs him from $2 50 to
$2 75, saying nothing of the risk of the
fresh fruit roitiDg or being badly bruised
or damaged by carriage, aud the neces
sity of using up fresh fruit at once,
while the evaporated fruit can be kept
for a long time. Fruit Recorder.
A Petrified YTouiau.
There are lots of rare things in Ohio
that have not been dreamed of in your
philosophy. Ohio has the President, his
successor the Chief Justice, General of
the Army, Secretary of the Treasury,
Minister to France, and other honors too
numerons to mention, and now, down at
Quincy, Shelby county, in that State, a
petrified woman has been discovered.
She is no Cardiff giant, but a Mrs. Kelli
8on, who used to livo in Illinois. Five
years ago at the age ef seventy she vis
ited her son, who in duty bound gave a
bountiful dinner in honor of the event.
He says that his mother ate very
heartily, so much so in fact
that the next day she was taken
suddenly ill, and after a few
hours illness died. Mr. Kellison, who
is an intellitent farmer, had his mother
buried in a "limestone gravelly" knoll on
his farm. Recently on selling the farm
he was compelled to remove her remains,
when it was discovered that the body had
turned to stone, and it took a dozen men
with ropes and pulley to drag the re
mains from the grave. The old lady was
70 years of age, in good flesh and
weighed about 130 pounds when she
died.. When exhumed the petrifaction
was perfect, and the only part of . her
body lacking is a small portion of the
left ala of the naae. The weight of the
body is now estimated by good judges to
be at least 1,000 pounds. The remains
have been laid away in Prospect Grave
yard, Quincy, Ohio, where they now are,
but Mr. Kellison promised thorn to a
scientific gentleman, who intends to pre
sent them to one of the medical muse
ums of the State.

Ocarina; House Trmnaaetions.
New Yokk, Nov. 3. The Publie gives
the following table of clearing house ex
change transactions for the week as com
pared with the same week last yean New
York has lost 9.3 per cent, Boston, 4.4;
Philadelphia, 10.8; Baltimore, 12.1; San
Francisco, 31.7; Milwaukee, 2:1.2, Kansas
City, 17.7; Cleveland, 8.8. The following
have gained: Chicago, 8.1; Cincinnati,
22.1; St. Louis, 14.8; New Orleans, 22.4;
Pittsburg, 48.1; Louisville, 21.5; Provi
dence; 27.4; Indianapolis, 37.7; New Haven
18; Lowell, 35.4; Syracnse, 23.1. The Pub
lic comments thus: Public attention in
all parts of the country has been so en
grossed bj the political eontest that bus
iness has been comparatively inactive
during the last week and has certainly
been considerably affected during the
month. While speculation in stocks has
been active, at times assuming unusual
proportions, the other exchanges have
not been materially lamer than they were
in October 79. The fact that they have
been so large in spile of the political ex
citement that they compare not unfavor
ably with tne moat active months last
year, notwithstanding some decline in
prices show a remarkable volume of bus
iness and gives reasons to believe that
the removal of political uncertainties
must be followed by a period of great
prosperity. In one respect the business
of October 1S&0 has been much more sat
isfactory than that of October 1870. Then
a large proportion of transactions were
speculative,' prompted by an unusual ad
vance in prices. The collapse of specula
tion came speedily and then it t ecaine
apparent that much of the steraing in
crease in business has been unwholesome
and temporary. This year there has been
but little speculative excitement except
in stocks, and the demand for com modi
ties and the prices of them have not been
so affected as to mischievously disturb
the natural relations of supply and de
mand. In short, business seerps to be
much more healthy thnn it was one year
ago, and the volume of busiueaa nhich is
strictly legitimate and healthy in charac
ter is much larger.
A Crasy VrcaK
Cleveland, Nov. 3. Yesterday a bright
boy four years old, was found lying near
the railway track on the Lake Shore road,
his head between two stones and a heavy
railway tie across his neck, holding him
down. When discovered he was black
in the face, nearly dead and uuabie to
walk or talk. Subsequently ho was re
vived and told a remarkable story that he
was induced by a woman who lived near
to co to the lake on the promise of candy.
On the way she took from him a hoop,
saying, "he would never roll the hoop
again." At the lake the woman endeav
ored to persuade him to get into a boat,
but pe refused Decauso mere was water
iu the bottom and he was afraid of a
whipping if his clothes got wet. The
woman uien took lum to the place where
he was afterwards iound, threw him on
the ground and placed the tie across his
neck and left him to perish. It was
learned that the woman was insane and
had escaped from home.

The Eastern Question.
Viinna, itfov. 5. In the Austrain dele

The Trial of Nihilists.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 30 The approach
ing trials of Nihilists will be the, most
important that have yet taken place.
Among the accused are the alleged au
thoin ot the explosion on Moscow railway
and at the winter palace supposed de
signer of the Alexandrosky dy minute
mine disaster, and persons wno attended
the Nihilist congresses at Lipitsk and
Tamboff when the aboveattempts against

Fatal Search for Gold.
Victoria, Nov. 1. A few weeks ago an
old man named Alexander Swift, who
had gone into the Skagit mines to seek
for gold, was found by a miner wander
ing in an almost famished state, among
the mountains of that inhospitable region.
He bad been out for 23 days and was
taken into a camp, fed, clothed and start
ed on the way towards the. town of Fort
Hope, on rrazer river, lie never reached
that place. Yesterday news was received
that tne body of a lonely old man nad
been found near the boundary line be
tween the United States and British ter
ritory, wrapped in its blankets and bear
ing the evidence of having been dead
many days. The discovery was made by
Indians. Swift has many warm friends
in San Francisco who will be saddened
to hear of his miserable end.

The Report of her Loas and Specul ttlona
aa to lis i-rooaoiiiiy.
Naw Yobk. Nov. 8. An evening paper hss the fol
lowing: A Washington special reported the loss of
Bennett's sretic exploring steamer Jesnnette, with
all on board, telegraphed from Han Francisco. It is
doubted here. It is explslued thst in October 1H79
two New Bedford whalers, the Vigilant and the
Mount Wollaston, with 40 men on board of each,
were caught in pack ice to the south-westward of
Herald island, since which time neither
vessels " nor any traces of them have
been reported seen by anybody. The whalers
were not constructed nor equipped for wintering in
the arctic, snd no donbt exists in the minds of other
whaling captains that the two vessels snd their
crews were destroyed absolutely. The remains of
the men or part of the missing whalers, as seen by
Esquimaux, might readily be mistaken portions of
the Jeannette or her crew. Cspt. Hooper, of the
revenue steamer &rwin, does not believe the iean
nette is lost, ss she was powerfully built, with a
special view to ice pressure, aud so modeled that it
was expected the pack would raise her ont of the
wster rether than crush her, - For these, among
other reasons, hope is entertained that the Jeannette
people will yet twine out of the arctic in safety.

THE BKOKEX DOLLAR.
The queenly moon rode majestically
through the unclouded heavens, and
flooded the Pequea valley with h mel
low rays. At Farmer Hoskins' gate Btood
Gerald Dean and Nellie- Hoskins her
white hand clasped in his bidding fare
well to one another, for on the morrow
Gerald departs for the land of the setting
sun, like thousands who bad gone before
him to seek the golden fortune antici
pated by many and obtained by few,
Gerald had come to the valley several
years before and found employment with
a neighboring Itarmer, Mr. Bell. Ouce
the petted child of fortune he had rV'
eledinits delights and experienced its
advantages. He had been educated at
the first institutions of the common
wealth, and was fitted for any sphere his
inclinations might have chosen, had his
Health been good. It generally so hap
pens tuat witn tne brightest minds is
coupled ill health and vice versa.
Gerald's father met with a series of
losses by unfortunate ventures which so
wrecked his physical constitution that in
a few short months he died, leaving his
wile and ueraid in a penurious condi
tion. Gerald at once procured a lnora
tive position iu the wholesale house of a
friend, and managed by economy to sup
port nimseii and widowed mother. She
had been an invalid nearly all her life.
and when the sudden reverse of fortune
swept from her the luxurious home and
a kind, indulgent husband, her life joys
were gone, and in a short period, Gerald
was called upon to follow to the grave
"his dearest friend on earth." Thus be
ing left alone in the world, an orphan
and without immediate relatives he was
obliged to seek, unaided, the commou
living she owes us all. For a while he
continued in his occupation in the whole
sale house, and rapidly won promotion.
He was obliged to relinquish it, how
ever, on account of his failing health,
and resort, according to his physician's
advice, to the pure, free air afforded bv
the occupation of a farmer. He did not
have an estate over which he could roam
at will, and work or play when he chose.
Therefore he soucht employment iu the
beautiful valley above mentioned with
farmer Hell, who, being kind and of a
good nature, assisted Gerald by employ
ing him and teaching him the simplest
rudiments of a farmer's occupation.
Gerald devoted himself to the work, and
in a short time with renewed health be
came a practical hand. Unwilling to de
sert the farm for city life, he remained
with Mr. Bell.
About this time Nellie Hoskins re
turned from boarding school whither she
had been for four years, an accomplished
miss, bue wes a sensible girl and bad
not been led into the vanities so often
found among the inmates of such institutions.-
Her father's farm lying next to
Mr. Bell's, she often visited the latter's
daughter and consequently met Gerrald,
who occupied the position of an equal in
farmer Bell's family. She very soon
discerned far more in Gerrald than in
the average farm hand, and learning his
antecedent Jiistory, esteemed him for the
noble purpose that actuated him to carve
out for himself a noble future.
Gerald was a frequent visitor of the
Hoskins farm and quite an intimacy
sprung up between himself and Nellie,
which unconsciously and unerringly.
ripened into the deeper passion of love.
So the days rolled into weeks and the
weeks into months which soon formed
two years.
The brightest and happiest davs of
their lives were fleeing away, the deep
winter shades giving place to the warm
rays of spring. Then it was that Gerald
determined to crown his happiness by
asking Nellio to share with him life s
joys and sorrows, whatever his future
fortune might have in store for him.
Need we say that Nellie answered him in
the affirmative, but like all her sex coyly
referred him to papa. Mr. Hoskins was
absent on business and did not return
for a week. However, upon his return
Gerald sought an interview and made
known his errand.
"What provision have you made for
the future? Do you think you would be
able to furnish Nellie with all the con
veniences of life and not discommode
her any by taking her from the home she
now possesses?" Mr. Hoskins said.
Mr. Hoskins, I am not wealthy,"
said Gerald; "I have a small bank ac
count and good health, a willing heart
and hands; with them I fear not the
future."
"There, my friend, I admire you for
your frankness, but by no means can I
trust my daughter to such precarious
circumstances. When you can produce
the evidence of a fair competence one
that would place you beyond the day toil
of a farm hand you can address me for
her hand, provided Bhe is of the same
mind, as now. Trusting you will be
successf ul,I extend you my best wishes,"
and calling Nellie to entertain our
friend, Mr. Hoskins betook himself to
his library.
Gerald in a few words acquaints Nellie
with her father's decission and prepares
to take his departure. They pass out to
the verandah, thence to the gate, where
they linger a few moments over their
farewell Nellie thinking it was the
same as usual until Gerald at tho last
moments tells ber that on the morrow he
will leave for California to delve among
the gold fields for the "fair competence''
which is so necessasy to make two lives
happy.
"Then, Gerald, if indeed you think
you can better your circumstances by
going you carry with you my earnest de
sires for your success. You can be as
sured that my love accompanies you as
well, and each missive from you treas
ured." "Thanks, dear Nell, your love shall be
the prize for which I am to struggle,
and when fortune smiles upon me in the
Occident, the goal of my ambition
reached, I will return and claim you as
my wife."
Nellie was unable to bear the sad
words of parting, and had it not been
for the strong arms of Gerald, would
have sank; to the earth. -
With her shapely head resting on his
bosom for the last time perhaps to
him there seemed no fairer picture. As
they stood there in silence, the memory
of happy days floated before them, not
dimly, but iu bright relief, tinged by the
mellow light of the pure love that had
lent its charm. It was as a beautiful
dream reaching its conclusion. Each
was too full for utterance. At last tha
spell was broken, it seemed by that tie-
termination which was the character of
Gerald's impulsive nature. Stooping, he
pressed a passionate kiss upon her brow
and said: y '
"Nellie, before I depart take this
souvenirt that yon mty possess something
upon which your anticipation of my re
turn may rest. : It is the half of a broken
dollar, the counterpart of -ahich I pos

Gerald gave the little hand, that laid
within his own, a somewhat harder
presouro than usual.
Farewell waa a hard word for Nellie to
say, but it passed between her lips me
chanically, aud the next moment Gerald

and onward to the meadow" path. She

The time passed slowly with Nellie.
.and lor a year Gerald's letters came ev
ery two weeks with great regularity, and
were as punctually answered. Then
they came once a month, and so on until
at the end of two years they ceased, with
an occasional stray missive, inscribed in
a scrawling nanu, tne opposite of Ger

pered nnusually for a year or two, and
then, by heavy drains, suffered a relapse,
gradually sinking lower and lower until
the panic cloud of 1857 hung upon the
nnancioi and commercial horizon.
Nellie seemed to take an unusual in'
terest in her father's business. During
uer resilience at 1j she bad made
many acquaintances, among them being
that of Leroy Fay, a wealthy young man,
and withal the man whom her father de
sired her, to marry.
The reason was obvious. Fav'a wealth
would be a powerful mainstay to tha
rapidly failing business of Mr. Hoskins.
Nellie did not care an iota for Leroy
Fay, for to one the memory of seven
long years had not obliterated, she had
given her first pure leve. Mr. Hoskins
and Leroy both urged the latter's suit,
but Nellie was firm and intimated that
bo argument or no consideration would
induce her to marry Leroy Fay.
Here waa au obstruction which Mr.
Hoskins had not anticipated when he
promised Leroy his daughter's hand in
return for the golden eagles he had re
ceived irom mm.
Fay became importunate and insisted
upon a speedy marriage, to which Mr.
Hoskins assented, and the nuptial
day waa appointed without Nellie's con
sent.
Preparations were made on the most
magnificent scale; guests invited from at
home and among Leroy's friends and
relatives abroad. Jt was a theme of
conversation at the clubs and at all the
fashionable afternoon gatherings.
This state of thing continued the dav
before the wedding when the citv of
was astonished by the revelation
that Nellie Boskins was missing. Search
was immediately instituted, and the
most experienced detectives tried in vain
to discover her whereabouts.
Leroy Fay believed Mr. Hoskins was
tricking him and was in full sympathy

Fay informed Mr. Hoskins that the re
turn of the money he loaned him was
necessary. If the money was not forth
coming in five days he would institute
proceedings which would have thrown
Mr. Hoskins in the abyss of financial
rum. Every resource was looked into
carefully and nowhere could Mr. Hoskins
see a loop hole of safety. His last Win
was the bank.
On the morning of the last dav he
called there to negotiage a loan, and was
handed a packet by the cashier. Mr.
Hoskins opened it and discovered more
than fifty crisp, new bank notes of the
denomination of a hundred dollars.
Across the face of the uppermost was
written in Iarite bold characters, the fol
lowing legend :
This is but a small part of a fair com

sess seven years ago. in this, your di
lemna, use it. Gerald Dean.
Gerald Dean had returned, and send
ing the half of the souvenir to Nellie,
she joyfully appointed a place of meet
ing and informed him of her father's
circumstances. Gerald immediately de-1
posited the money, and coming back to
Nellie, they went to the nearest clergy
man, aud were married. They then im-
mediately left for a wedding tour, de-
termined to ask repentance when they j

Mr. Hoskins was much delighted. j
A Singular Case.
There died on Tuesday last at Bay view ;
Asylum one of the most singular persons
that has ever lived a femalo with a
woman's head and the body and arms of
a child. Visitors to Bayview have
noticed this singular case, and it has at- '
tracted largely the attention of medical
men. Her name was Katie Doshields.
She waa received in the old County Alms
House in 1832, with her mother. The
latter died of the cholera, and the child
has been cared for ever since by the
city. On the separation of
the county- and city and the
erection of Bayview Asylum for the city
poor, Katie was removed to the latter
place. During all the time she has been,
in the institution her head has grown
with each day and year, until it became
the head of a woman, bnt below the neck
nature was at a standstill. She occupied
to the day of her death the child's chair
she occupied iu 1832, when three years
old, and slept in the same cradle. Her
arms and hands were beautiful, and she
would show them with great pride to
each visitor. This vanity was about the
only womanly trait she exhibited, and,
with the exception of. being alive to re
marks complimentary to the whiteness
and perfection of her hands and arms,
sho seemed to be insensible to all else
passing around her. This singular crea
ture was subject to epilepsy, and this is
what caused her: wonderful condition.
She ate and slept well and seemed in her
usual health up t fifteen minutes before
her death, when she was seized with an
epileptic fit,' from which she never re
covered. Katie was 48 years of age at
the time of her death. Forty-live of these
she was cared for: at the County Alms
house and Bayview Asylum, and it is
perhaps attributable to the care and
treatment she received in those institu
tions that she has survived so long.

THE FACTORY BELLE.
"So that is the factory belle, ia it ?
said Mr. Payson, the new foreman of
the Mallendale works. "Well. I must
confess that she has rather an attractive
face, with her large hazel eyes and that
psofnsion of red-brown hair, although
her nose isn't quite Grecian, and tha
lines of her mouth are just a trifle out
of drawing." "

the engineer. "She's been made much
of, Kitty Kelsey has, nntil. she's just
spoiled. And "
But here Kelsey herself came saucily
up to tne foreman a desje.

cloud of red-gold hair that huag over
her dimpled face, "for I suppose you are

"My machine doesn t suit me. X wish

"Doesn't suit you?" -he repeated.
slowly.
"No, said Miss Kitty, straightening
out the bow of ribbon at her belt.
"Is it the custom at Mellendale to
change machines at the beck and call of
every dissatisfied damsel?" he asked,
still without a change of countenance.
My machine is always changed when
ever. I ask for it," said Kitty Kesley,
noncholently.
"Suppose you try and make it do. "said
Mr. Payson. "I dare say the torn of a
screw here, or the altercation of a ten
sion there, will make it all right." John

coloring very red.
It is quite contrary to my rules, said
Mr. Payson. "That is right, Johnson.
And now I will look over the list with
you."
Miss Kitty went back to her seat in a
genuine passion.
It was Anson fayson s first day in the
Mellendale Factory, and of course it
proved rather a fatiguing one.
The morning, bleak and cloudy, had
settled down into a good old-fashioned
snow storm, before the afternoon; and
when at last the throb of the engines had
ceased, the whiz of the numberless ma
chines was still, and the flocks of girls
had disappeared one by one. Mr. Pay
son locked the desk, pocketed the keys,
and also sailed forth into the snowy
twilight of the November night. .
But unaccustomed as he was to the
Mellendale roads and their windings, he
soon became disagreeably aware that he
somehow had missed the way.
"They told me to turn off at an old
Btone mill," he further pondered.
"but I have seen no stone mill; nor any
finger post. I do believe," standing stilt,
and trying to peer through the white
wilderness of flying tnowflake, that I am
destined to be a modern Babe in the
Woods. And the worst of it all is that
there are such a number of awkward
precipices along the edge of this woody
road, where one might walk off, in this
half light, and never know how he came
to his end Stay ! luckily there is a red
light gleaming thro' the darkness. It
must come from some farmhouse window.
and I am saved from my doom.
But as Anson fayson knocked at the
door of the little one-story dwelling, he
felt that he was very weary, with hands
and feet numbed. from the biting blast,
and garments wet through by the damp
and penetrating snow.
The opening oi tne aoor reveaiea a
cheerful little interior, which would do
no discredit to the penoil of a Dutch art
ist a blaze of pine logs on the hearth, a
candle burning in its brass sconce, a red
and blue rag carpet on the floor ,.a round
cherry table set out for supper, and a
huge grey cat purring cosily on tne
hearthstone.
A tall, white-haired old man opened
the door to him, and welcomed him after
a cheery unconventional fashion.
"Come in, stranger, come i l said
the old man. "Well, I declare, you
have got wet, hain't ye? Step right up
to the fire. Here's a seat. I don't seem
to reckonise ye not just by sight
though I've lived forty odd years here
about. You are '
"I am Mr. Payson, of the Mallendale
Works," said our hero, with a sigh of
satisfaction, as he expanded his chilled
hands to the delicious warmth of the
firelight penetrating his whole frame.
"Do tell!" said the old man, who had
by this time swung a huge iron tea
kettle to a crane over the fire "I've
got a grandanghter who runs a ma
chine there. And you're a new fore
man? Board at 'Squire Ameses, don't
ye ? Well, you're a good two mile out of
your way. You'd ought to took the fust-right-hand
road, by John Millerbrook's
stone mill, and then the fust left hand,

is. Bat you're kindly welcome to stay
here all night, stranger; and my little
gal, shell show you the way in the

down in the big chair, stranger, and

save her all the steps I can. She's work
in' dretf ul hard for a new cashmere gown
for Thanksgiven; and when tha taxes is
paid, and the interest on the mortgage
and--":,". .
At this stage of his remarks, the voice
of Mr. Payson's host became inaudible,
by means of his slow descent down the
cellar stairs, with the brass candlestick
in his hand; and the new foreman was
alone with the purring gray cat, and the
red shine of the flames, and the deep
shadows at every angle of the room.
"Well, grandfather, did you think I
was never coming?"
The door had opened suddenly, and
admitted a gust of frozen air, a cloud of
flying snow flakes, and as a girl all muf
fled up in hoods and shawls.
"I stopped at Mollie Dean's for a pat
tern," said she, "and of course we bad
to talk a little. Oh, grandfather!" with
a merry laugh, as she sat down oa the
floor to pull off her rubber shoes, "I've
seen the new foreman and he's as hand
some as a picture, and as cross as two
sticks, Hateful fellow) Only think, of
his refusing to change my machine for
me! But Til be revenged on him,
grandpa. Mollie and I have concocted
a royal plan; and I'm going to bewitch
him, and wind him around my finger,
and make him fall desperately iu lore
with me; and then I shall refuse him
haughtily, and-w,Why, who is that?"
She sprang to her feet with a little cry
of terror, for while Mr. Payson had sat
bewildered in the vague shadows by the
fireside, and she had rattled on, old
Moses Kesley had finished his errand ia
the cellar aud now came slowly up the
stairway, the candle light shinning ia
front of him like a beacoa.
"There aha is now!" aaid he, "my
little Kitty, Well, my gal, supper's

Kitty Kesley could sot help laughing
in spite of herself.
u Well, I suppose it's just as well to
make the best of it," said she, "and we'll
proclaim an honorable truce, Mr, Fay
son, for the present at least."
Kitty waa charming all the evening-.
full of vivacious spirit and arch chatter;
but Mr. Payson did not know that ahe
cried herself to sleep that night with the
bitterest tears she ever had shed.
"What must he think of me?" said the
factory belle to herself. "How did I
ever ever come to make such a dread
ful blunder ?" J '
While Mr. Payson was saying over and

dreamland.

If it has ever been in print we are in

Still the flood of gold and cf immi
gration tends toward the United
States. Europe rears her children,
and when they reach maturity, in
stead of becoming soldiers to defend
their native States, or instead of en
gaging in business to help bear th
burdens of their fatherland, their
footsteps turn to tho West, and from
the nearest seaport they sail away
and are thereafter forever lost to na
tive land. This year half a million
have come, next year it is expected a
round million will seek oar shores.
A million of pesple. That means
that- in one year, from Europe's
strength there will be drawn almost
as many people as are now in cur
Republic west of the Eocky Monnt
ains. Ono-fiftieth as many as our
Republic now possess after a hun
dred and fifty years of colonial lifj
and more than a century ot Katioaii
life. And with the people the gold
of Europe ia also coming, tboaga so
many are coming those who remain
havo to bny so much American ma
terial that it more than counterbal
ances American recklessness and ex
traragances, and makes heavy drains
npon the aggregated wealth of the
Old World. , Hera are lessona for the
nationa beyond the sea, and a great
lei son also for us. This state cf
afl'airs is a notice served upon Europe
that her vast armies must be dis
banded, that the young mast be
permitted to marry and to work for
a home, and that whatever else is
wittheld from the people, they must
be given the rignt to think
as they please, and to read what
ever a free press may throw off.
When our Declaration of Independ
ence was written, that was a notice
served npon the world that sover
eignty was soon to pass from kittS
and that the people were to atsame
their divine prerogative. Europe Lis
been slow to bail the signal; it bi;
require a great many tears and many
a blood bath yet to wash the miss's
from the people'e eyes but tha earth
