Next morning the sun shone out brightly, all the more eo because of the lain the day fcefore. Mrs. Woodruf, true to her word, Tras Buffering with an imaginary h-adache, tnd Flo, much against her will, was obliged to carry her breakfast up ta her. Meta had Insisted upon taking breakfast with her father, and he was only too glad to have her with him. After breakfast, when all were assembled in the drawing-room, Meta asked who was goicg to church. "I am sorry, but I can not go, as Lina is not feeling well," said Mr. Woodruf. "The family will have one representative, for I am going," replied Oertie. "1 wa never in a country churcn in my life, and iiow as I have each a splendid opportunity offered n:e, I shall take advantage of it and go." "If you will do me the honor of accepting my et cor t, Miss Harris, I shall b only too g'ad to accompany you," eaid Arthur. 'Are you sure, Mr. Braden, that yon are cot doing thU because you feel sorry to see me tt oil" alone?" "IMieve ice, Mias Harri, it is sot, bat because I have a desire to attend church once more." "To hear yoa talk one would think that you tad cot entered a church for years," re plied Gertie. "It has been yean smC9 I wai in a chrrrch like this, where everyone seems to be thinking of the same thing that is, God and heaven. Not much like the temple of fashioD I have been used to attending." 'Gertie, dear, yon shall ride Whitie: and. Mr. Braden, I know papa will place bis korse at vour service. I almost envy you the ride, but, sir, you must be very c&retui oi my e nsin and let no harm befall her," inter runted Meta. Meta was feeling a great deal better, and was more like her old self. Her merry laugh rang tb rough the room and penetrated to the rooms of Mrs. Woodruf, which were jast above the drawing room, making that lady leei rather uicomfortaoie. Tertians. Miss Woodruf. she rides better than I do. and you had better place me under her rare," Slid Arthur. "What du you say, Gertie?" aiked Meta. "That I would rather be a queen than her subject: therefore, Mr. Braden, I am your protector." "üelieve rn. Miss Hams. I feel highly ilattered in having fo fair a lady as yoa for my Drotcetor,' "Well, after all, I shall have the best. For Lave I not my father with me?" "Yoa are right, Meta. there is no one like a father." replied Mr. Woodruf. "Or like a mother. Uncle, when one has no father. I am going to get ready, Mr. iiraden; we will see who is on their horse nrst, you or I." "1 shall, of coarse, and be waiting for my air protector, for was a woman ever known to be ready on time?'' Both went out and up the stairs together. Jn a few moments Gertie came down again. Mr. Woodruf bad ordered the horses around to the front door, and he assisted Gert ie to mount Whitie. She was scarcely seated, wben Arthur came hurrying out. "Oh! Mr. Braden, I was first to be ready, first in the raddle, and unless yon catch me I shall be first at church," Gertie said, langhin? roerrilly. But before she w&s out of the park he was by her side. Mr. Woodruf and his daughter watched tnem until they were out of ajght; then seating themselves in wicker chairs oa theporcb. this fine, balmy Sunday morning, were both silent. As we already knew, Mr. Woodruf did not eel at eaae in his daughter's presence since his marrisge, and cow when he sees her looking toward her mother's grave, with large tears in her et es, his whole heart cocs oat to )Ar enly child. liefere Jieta's mother died, she requested to be buried as near her home as possible; the could cot bear to thine of being taken from her loved ones. Her kind and loving husband did as she requested, and there before his ey es was the grave of his first love; while up stairs lay hie bride, almost fierce in her angir with him for not having returned to her after breakfast was over. Lina made up her mind to ssnd for her husband, and pcor Flo was unwillingly pressed into service. It was while Mr. Wocdruf and Meta were sitting on the porch, as we have seen tteru, that FJo delivered her message. "Yea mutt return soon, papa, as I am all aJore," taid ileta." "Yes, trust me for that, little one." he answered. not knowing but whathe was telling ine irutn. Hour after hour passed by. Arthur and Gertie leturned, yet not until the dinner tell rang did Mr. Wcodmf come down stairs. As he entert d the room Meta did not look at him. She es afraid he might read In her ace the disappointment she had felt all 'through tno morning. She knew in her biait wboe fault it had been that he did not return to her. Gertie and Arthnr were giv iDt- an account of their delightful ride. Meta, I am sure that White ia the nicest horse lever rode," raid Gertie. Of course, I think so; but I do not believe yoa cculd tell, if you. tried, whether she trots, lopes or paces, as I am sure yoa would cot be guilty of having as v but the most re ligiocs thoughts oa the Sabbath at least. yoa iccfc to. What do vou think, Mr. Briden?" "I agree with yoa, Miss Woodruf; yet looks are sometimes very deceiving, and I think they are so ia this case." "Oh! for shame, sir; yet I do not think but what I ought to thank you for expressing your thoughts so truthfully, although they are not very flattering to a lady whose father was a minister." renlied Gertie. "Had I known that, Miss Harris, perhaps

I should cot have expressed my opinion n freely." "Then yoa would not have given a true one, if you had allowed my father's calling to govern yoa in forming an opinion of his daughter. What say you, uncle?" "That if my niece, Gertie Harris, is as good as she looks, she is entirely too good for the preeent company." "Oh, moat noble flatterer, I" "Wait a moment; there was the little werd 'if in my remark," t aid her uncle. "Then I am satisfied, for I want to be one of yen the short time that I have left to remain at Woodruf Hall." "Gertie, I wish you would make up your miLd to remain with us all winter, this being the last we will spend here, as in another year Meta will be old enough to enter society, and of course this will be no place for her." "Yoa are wrong, papa," interrupted Meta.

"I nave no cesire whatever oi oeoaitng a society belle, to flirt, flatter and be flattered; in fact, to become a heartless woman of fash ion." "I hope von may never change your mind, Miss Woodruf. It is seldom one comes in contact with such pure character as yours," interrupted Arthur. 'Oh, Braden, in another year yoa may change your mind." "I hope noi, sir, as we need more suca young ladies as these two are. Then society would not be so corrupt, and there would be more happy homes" replied Arthur. i ri - i 1 lie was rigm. j.ms man, wua uai seen au much of fashionable society, who bad been knocked about from place to plac?, oaght to know something about it. How many girls have entered fashionable society with pure minds and innocent hearts, and shy, simple manners, which won for them at the very beginning the admiration of all men and the hatred of their own sex who were less favored? Some one tells them of this, they like it, and enter into this new life with the firm resolution of winning as many hearts as possible. What does a belle of society care how many hearts she breaks, or how many lives she wrecks? This is expected of her. Do you not think that at the great day of reckoning before her God, she will have to give an account of all this? Some persons may say no, for they see no harm in it. Was it not a sin to almost break the heart of a true loving man, one who was but entering life with a glorious future before him, lacking only the help and love of a true wife to crewn all his best hopes? "As far a I am concerned, I would much rather keep my daughter all to myself," continued Mr. Woodruf. "How selfish you are dear papa." "I do not deny the charge, where you are concerned. If society would once lay claim to you, I feel confident that you would have no'time to give me." "I am sorry papa, that you have no better opinion of me than that." Come, little girl, do not be angry. 1 promise to think next time before I speak." ftONTltfCED IM TO-MORROW'S 9ESTINEL. The Philosophy of Hard Times. In every civilized land, at this time, there is complaint that times are hard, truthfully remarks the New York rribune. Everywhere the cause is taid by many to ba overproduction. Bat how can it be a curse to mankind to have the objects of human defile supplied in greater abundance and more cheaply? If there is overproduction all over the world, as some reason, that means merely that the supply of things useful for human happiness is greater all ever the world than the present demand. In ! reply to this natural suggestion, we are told that a vast amount of labor has been dif placed by machinery; that a general disturbance of the labor market has been caused, and that a great number of pereons have been thrown out of employment. The very change which some call a blessing brings ruin to maay producers and fo.ces many employes to cut down wa;es. and curtails the ability of workers to consume products of other industries. Thus we are taught to believe that the progress of cience and invention is a progress toward human misery. it is true, then, that machinery has displaced human labor? A century ago, relatively fewer persons were employed in any other avocation than in tilling the soil than are now so employed. Machinery has created a new world; it has cheapened almost everything that man desires. It has brought within the reach of the humblest not only a vast cumber of products wholly unknown a century ago, but luxuries and comforts which a century ago even the rishest could not afford to commonly enjoy. Meanwhile has it displaced labor? On the contrary, it has made work for a vast population outside of the ruder arts which were formerly pursued. Has it displaced the shoemaker? No; more persons than ever before are making shoes, because more shoes are made and need, cheapness permitting multitudes to wear them who formerly could cot So there are more sewing girls, in spite of sewing ma chines. There are more farm workers, in spite of all the agricultural machine?. There are more cotton and woolen and silk weavers, in spite of those numerous improvements which seem to do with steam and iron the work cf human hands better than human hands could do it And to crown all, the wages in all branches of labor have risen. In every occupation, from the rudest to the id est skilled, from farm labor to the most delicate manipulation of tools and machinery, labor is far better paid in money than it was before the age of invention. And, moreover, each dollar of the money received will buy far more food than a dollar would have bought a century ago, far more clothing and more thiegs for the supply of all human want. Thus it is simply blundering to say that machinery does, or can, in the long run supplant or displace human labor. On the con trary, the uss of machinery is limited only by the bnman labor that can be brought to employ it Everp "labor-saving invention ecab 8 one human want to be more cheaply supplied, so that a cart of the human labor expended in satisfying it can be turned to the supply of other want The overproduction theory, except as limited to a very narrow field, and ilhm a narow compass of time, is altogether without foundation. The human race, as a whole, does not suffer because its powers of production are increased, or because its wants can be more easily and cheaply supplied, or because things needed for human comfort and use are more abundantly produced. Temporarily, and within some particular market, production may at times so far outrun the demand that a disturbance results. But this is not the phenomenon which we are now witnessing.

BOB IXGERSOLL.

Some Specimens of Ills Wit and Humor. Washlncton Correfpondence. It recently fell to the lot of your correspondent to attend a stockholders' meeting of a corporation, in which Bob Ingersoll is an office-holder. That noted pagan presided over the deliberations of the would-be millionaires present As usual he was full of sparkling fun, whfca is difficult to communicate on paper. The charm of that man is his overflowing good humor. People do not value lugerjoll's opinions or want3 of opinions. His godlessness has no attractions for the average man, but his abounding jollity just shuts out all effective disapproval. He is a man of big brain, bigger stomach and biggest capacity for forcing cheerfulness upon his hearers. His merry blue eye always contains the beginning of a smile that broadens out throuzh the muscles around his mouth into a laugh and circles all over the surface of his grett, broad, smooth face, as the waves caused by a summer breeze cover the waters of a wide lake. His short, half-pug nose, set right in the center of his visage, has always a fnnny wrinkle that makes perpetual speeches a; to the never-failing suoshme of the man's disposition. His fat figure shows contentment and self-satisfaction in every orie of its round carves. His attitudes and gestures are constant expressions of the pent-up drolleries that are ever minute struggling into expression, whether he stands before the public or ij in the midst of a social company. On the occasion now referred to Ingersoll told hi3 associates that they had met practically to wind up the affairs of the corporation, which had proved a money-losing concern from the beginning. He went on to detail his own losses through his connection with it. Holding in his hand a lit of the stockholders, and groaning in a serio-comic way, he exclaimed: 'My eye rest on a name here which is very appropriate to a man who would go into such an enterprise as this. The name is Gosling Honry A. Gosling. The secretary of the meeting turned to a little delicate-featured, slender-iramed man who sat near and said, "Henry, he's calling for you." Poor Mr. Gosling meekly responded, "That's all right." "Ah," said Ingersoll, "I didn't know Mr. Gosling was here. Well, the G in my name onght to stand for Gooselet. Yes, I'll go back of the shell and say I'm unhatcned." He then went on to cet out in ludicrous terms the way he had been beguiled into pntting his lost thousands into this unlucky businefs. "There was little Ilerron came to me with his head full ef inventions and his peckets full of machines. He bad in one pocket his paper made from palm that he'd wash and iron and fold as a laundry-woman would her clothes. Iu another pocket he had a dredging machine. He wanted to take the bottom out of the Potomac River. In another pocket he had a little gold washing machine for gold-mining on the Caestatee Biver. In another pocket he had a miniature train of cars, and railway, to iilnstrate his patent switch. In another pocket he had a paper tester. His clothes were all pockets, jast pockets sewed together. They reminded me of the woman who wanted a cool dress, and said she believed she'd have it made of button-holes. In discussing the methods of an aent of the corporation, Ingersoll tamed to one of the stockholders aad said: "Proctor, do yon know why the English farthiDg was coined? I'll tell yoa the reason given for it by an Englishman. He said it was made for the convenience of the Scotch in making their contributions to His Maj- sty's charities." Someone suggested that the preterit hard times, which bad operated to the damage of the company, might be mitigated by a wise course of action bv Congress. "Pooh," said Ingersoll, 'Cjngres3 is no mere good to the business of the country thsn a pocket is in a shroud. We are largely dependent in this country for our prosperity upon the misfortunes of the rest of the world. If Russia and India have a poor crop, we can sell enough wheat to make us all rich. The trouble is our cities are too big. Too many people are living by their wits instead of producing. My plan is to increase the number of that class that both consumes and produces, and diminish the non-producing class which gathers in the cities. 1 do not expect, however, to see a speedy end to business depression. With corn in Kansas at eight and ten cents a bushel and wheat lower than at any other time in twenty years we need look "for no peed times in the near intare. . w. l. c. Tbe Original Richelieu. r.ome Letter to American Register. One of the dailies of the Eternal City calls attention to the fact that formerly there were other and more frequent occasion for betting than the tleetness of horses. Nine new Cardinals were nominated by the Pope, and last week were invested in the robes of their office and covered with the broad-brimmed, ugly Cardinal hats, and the journal in question tells us that in old days bets were as freely indulged in as to who would be Cardioal?as they are now made iniegard to what favorite ht rse will win. They even betted on the election of the Pope, and the Pontifical Government in vain tried to put down this gambling propensity in the Romans. They might bet on cock fights, gamble in lotteries, and foolishly spend their money in a thous and demoralizing wagericg ways, bat it was a scandal to bet as to who wouul wear the triple crown or tbe ugly red hat. Bat when bixtus V. ascended the Papal throne he took heroic measures. He wai a Pope of infinite tunning and daring two things that rarely KO together; for the cunning man is generally a weak man physically, and hence lying, tergiversation and secrecy are his weapons. Sixtus Y., you will remember, was, when a boy, a swineherd though some deny it and having risen through his own ability, by various grades, to the Cardinal(hip, he was finallv elected Pope on the death of Gregory XIIL (1385). because it was thought by his fellow Cardinals that a man so infirm that he could not walk without crutches was already more than "on his last legs," and would soon have to give way for another Pope. But no sooner was he elected to the highest office in tbe church than he threw away his crutches, sang a Te Deum in a load voice, and was as apparently renewed in youth as the poetic imagination of Goethe made Fauat to be after his first interview with the devil. He displayed great talent for government he purified the Roman States of vagabonds and brigands who swarmed in them, he organ ized the public administration, and fixed the number of Cardinals at seventy, and took a prominent band in almost everything going on in Europe. He excommunicated Henry of Navarre, and paid the same compliment to Queen Elizabeth of England. He also did great things for Rome In the line of utility and beanty. It was under him that the dome of St Peter's was constructed, and it was he who caused Fortana to eMvate the Egyptian obelisk that now adorns the semi circle before St Peter's. He built an aqueduct of thirty kilometers in length, which still briagiwau; Borne HeaHsoWrt

care of his cash, for wbn he died he left to his heir no less than $3.000,000, which represented at tbat time a much larger sum than thoe figures show to day, i. e., about 125,000,000. But one of the reforms which be brought about, and which required a greater firmness and vigor than maay others, was the putting down of betting and gambling in certain lines. He would not stand betting on the election of Topes and the nomination of Cardinals.

FIGHTING FOP. !St.,O0O,C0O. Protracted Litigation Over Knal Kstate What an Old Trunk Kevealed. A dispatch dated Williamspart, Pa., December CQ, says: Many persons here a3d in Washington, D. C, remember Dr. William Cammack, who for nearly thirty years before his death was contesting his right to large property interests in Philadelphia and other cUies in the iStat. Dr. Cammack came to this plice in 1SG7. He died in 1881, leaving a power of attorney to Mr. John Bloon, a resident of this city, requesting that he continue the fight as long as there was the remotest chance of recovering tte property. The story of the claim is a follows: In 1810 an Englishman named Thomas Hill, who wes the owner of 1J3 acres of land in West Philadelphia, 377 acres at Middletown, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, and 5C0 acres cf valuable bottom land along tbe Delaware River, died intes tatp. The heirs-at-Iaw were then- living in England. In 1SU Dr. Cammack visited England and became acquainted with the heirs. Not being familiar with this country, and having no desire to come here, the heirs made arrangements with Dr. Cammack to settle up the estate, giving him fail power of attorney, and at the t-ame time Iff ally signing over to him one-half interest in the estate as his share for settliDg it up. Dr. Cammack immediately came to America and began operations at once to recover the property. He employed counsel, and after the necessary delay occasioned thereby, and at a time when the property was almost witbin his grasp, his lawyeja abandoned the ca?e. The Doctor afterward claioced that .ki3 counsel w&a bought off by thos h"viag possession at that time. Not in i least daunted, however, the ficht was continued, and although a wealthy man at that time, the Doctor died very poor, having spent his entire fortune in trying to get possession of the property. For the past three years Mr. John Bloon, who acts with power of attorney for Mrs. Cammack (the Doctor's widow), has continued the fight with considerable success, the only difficulty beiDg during the pa?t year to obtain the deeds of the property. A short time ago Mr. Cammack was looking through the contents of an old trnnk belongirg to the Doctor when she discovered the deeds. They were immediately seat to Philadelphia to ber counsel, who wrote her last week, etatlDg that the property, which is estimated to be worth $15,000,000, could now be discovered without difficulty. It is claimed by Mrs. Cammack that Judge Kelley and Judge Peters, of Philadelphia, have been or years, and are now livirjg on her propetty. She also says that most of the property has been built upon, but that all cf the buildings were erected on leased grounds, as neither Judge Kelley nor Judge Peters can give a title. The case is to be pushed immediately. Dr. Cammack had seven children by his first wife, four of whom are cow living in Washington, D. C. Gentral McDonald, f Jap Turpea la Teru Sentinel. It falls to the lot of but few men to know tbe varied life that has opened to General McDonald. It might be placed upon the stage, for there are chapters that surpass the thrilling interest attaching to Dumas' immortal creation, "Edmond Dantes." Scene first might show McDonald as a successful man of a flairs in St. Louis and along the Mississippi Rier. Scene second, a gallant soldier in command of the Eighth Missouri regiment, that he had equipped out of his private fortune. Scene third, the favored courtier of the only American President who was ever guilty of deslnog a third term. Scene fourth, a prisoner indicted for and convicted of and guilty knowledge, wearing a zebra suit in the penitentiary. Scene fifth, an author contributing the most remarkable history In the language to the literature of the period. Scene sixth, as I found him to day, a book aeent.difiering from all other book agents on the p!aaet, iu that be is pleasant and interesting one of the meat companionable and entertaining persons in the world. According to my philosophy our first impressions are usually conect The great mojority of people worthy our love wa love t fcitht. It wai an immediate as well as mutual "mash" that followed the introduction cf the father of his country to Martha Cartis. Extensive Inquiry has strengthened me in the belief that this will hold gocd in mcst happy marriages. But I must restrain my pen that is addicted to spacalaticn ana confine it to the realistic. I knew General McDonald as Colonel of the Eighth Missouri. a9 courageous a regiment as followed the flag h command with which my regiment, the Eleventh Indiana, was chum. He was a eplendid officer, respected by his superiors becanse of his accomplishments, end idolized by hi3 men. I heard General McDonald make a speech during the holidays of 1SG1 at Paducah, Ky., to apopular andience of titizeLs and soldiers. I remember seeing him CIC93 the swollen Cumberland in a feedtox lor a canoe, carrying dispatches, when there was no other means of transportation at hand. It was a risky business, but he was young aad en experienced river man. His first thought was to navigate the tide on a log. but finding a trough that had been abandoned by rebel hostlers made the passage with comfort and, as he has always claimed, the greatet safety. I remember eeeing him under fire at Fcrt Donelson, and under fire again atShtloh. I liked tbe looks of the fellow. "the cut cf his jib." as an ancient Hibernian friend put it trom the beginning, and can well understand how President Grant could tfPM'fv on the witness stand: "I have known McDonald intimately for twenty-six years." Frosts. Breeders' Journal. With the first advent of frost there is some danger to the breeding stock. It is a change that somes over their feed. The frosted grass taken into rheir stomachs is different from what they are accustomed to. Cows that are pregnant s hould be kept off this grass nntil the sun has removed this frostsay nntil 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning, when they can safely be turned out. The cows that have to come up to the house to be milked can lay in the barnyard over night and have a feed of dry hay in the morning. This will also tend to correct their bowels, as the frosty grass has a loosening e3ect Dry cows and heifers in calf can and should be put into a yard over night This yard can be built in one corner of the pastare.

She will, however. probably be again a sufierer from thi3 renewed use of the lime knee, for thft physicians say she will not ba well in rns.ny months unless she positively gives up exercise. It ia a lingular coincidence that another ycutg lady ot prominence in society, Miss Mary Pendleton, daughter of the Senator, is also obliged to wa'k with crutches.
