ROMANCE OF A HIDDEN HEART.

Mr. Steele had never married; he enjoyed his riches without companionship; he had not a relative in the world. A hard, selfish, grasxﬁmm beloved by none, and respected only because of his great wealth. Spite of his power to do good, the world was none the belter for Richard Steele/S existence. = . s ; o No one in Milford remembemdhi, Steele as other than the miger he was to-day; for fifteen years he had been a citizen of the town and no change, either for better or worse had come over him, in a moral point of view. His gardens of Ireton ITalls were the finest for scores of miles; the yellow peas and luecions nectarines mellowed on its walls, the ungathered grapes purpled on trellises, » nd no schoolboy’s daring hands disturbed the ripe treasures. Mr. Steele’s great dog, Pluto, was ag sellish as his master, and as savage as his masler, and his eruel teeth were always ready toinflict sum-~ mary punishment on all depredators. .. One.quiet. afternoon, as Mr. Ste% sat on the piazza, gazing out on the broad acres of Ireton, his eye fell on two little children coming down the road, hand in hand. They arrived in front of the gardens, and cast wistful looks at the damask roses which hung over the quaintly carved gate. I'or a moment they conversed. together in subdued voices, and then they turned in at the lion-guarded gateway, and went slowly up the avenue. - An angry scowl contracted the brow of Mr. Steele at this unwonted intrusion, and he half rose from his seat as if to drive away the uawelcome guests. They were the first children who had egver dared trespass on the estate of Ireton Tall.

They came fearlessly up to the pfazza, still holding each other’s hands.— The eldest was a boy of perhaps 12 years, a brave noble little fellow, with brown eyes, and dark, glossy hair. The other was a girl; she could not have been more than nine summers old, and beauty like hers is seldom seen save in some old, rare pictures. . The sight of her face struck a strange thrill to the heart of Richard Steele, and involuntarily he bent down to look at her.. She was fair as a water lilly, save the crimson which tinged her lips, and leaped at intervals to ber white cheeks. :

IHer eyes were dzep and blue, and her hair like ripples of molten gold touched by sunbeams. DBoth the children wore mourning garments, cheap and eoarse, but neat as human hands could make them. The girl'spoke first: . “Please, sir, will you give brother and me some roses?” o The tone was musical and sweet as harp notes, but the rich man’s countenance grew hard and cold. He pointed to the highway. ’ - “Be off!” he exclaimed. “I do not raise flowers for beggars.” How the dark eyes of the boy flash-ed!-and he was aboutto make some sharp answer, but the pressure of the girl’s soft fingers on his arm checked him. : Y ! “We are not beggars,” she said, calmly, “but our mother is dead, and we are orphans. Sheloved the roses, and we loved them, tvo. DPlease give us one apiece. 1t will seem so good to smell flowers once more. . i The hard face did not relax—the long, thin finger still pointed to the gate; but the blue-eyed petitioner did not move. She was regarding him with an expression strangely tender and pitying, and it annoyed him worse than anything else to be pitied. “Why do you look at me in that way ¢” he demanded, harshly. “Beeause I am sorry for yoit,” said she, sweetly., “You are old, and:sad, and all alone. 'Where are your children ?” 5 : ’

* “I have none,” he answered, and wondered at the same time why he did so. ‘ .

- “None! lave you no little girl to sit on your knee, and call you papa? I pity you very much!”? - . “Humph!” . g : ‘ “But I do! Indeed Ido! It mustbe dreadful not tolove anybody. Did you ever have anybody to love you ?” » A ‘spasm of -pain shot athwart the rigid face of Richard Steele, and his tall frame quivered, it might be with agony or anger, one could no decide from his words. lle pushed the child away. St : S

' “Not another word! I will not listen! Good heavens! thatlips like those should ask me that question!” ‘ “Pardon me—l did not mean to hurt your feelings. You loved somebody, and heaven took her away. Was it your sister ?” e

. Ah, yes! and memory flew back to that gentle, fair-haired child who-had clung with soft-arms to his neck, and kissed with warm lips his cheek. Hig little sister May. How well he remembered her, as she looked the last time he saw her faece, lying cold and calm, like marble, in the shadow of a coffin. Yes, he reme%lzered'May,f‘and his eyes grew moist With something like a tear, but it was a strange visitant, and he dashed it away. Yet that tear was not given to May; she had been for years safe in heaven; it was given to another, whose bright eyes seemed to be looking at him outof the orbs of the little girl before him. He bent down over her, and scanned her features closely. Then asked, “my child, what is your name?” ' ‘ “Violet Gray.” T - The man smothered a cry of surprise, and his face gréw strangely pale, even in the ruddy light of sunset., It must have been a strange emetion, indeed, which eould thus stir the he_a&rt of Richard Steele. Presently he gl } R

“What was your mother’s name before she married ?” e “Violet Dale.” . ; -“And she is dead!” i

And he spoke the words in a deep whisper, as though fearing to utter them. ; - S

“She is with the angels.” ¢ - | A silence fell upon the group, broken only by the suppressed sobs of the girl and the heavy breathing of the man. S %

When he again addressed her his voice had taken a softness which none in Milford had ever heard in its measured cadence. ; "‘l}nd this little boy is your brothery” . G o Lo “Yes, my brether Richard.” ’ - “Richard? For whom was he named thus ?” S S [ - Mr. Steele asked the question breath lessly,with an earnestness wpfystrm’ga -and foreign to hi&stonsnaturea i . “For a schoolmate, sir, of my dpar mg%lgf’s«-" d e - “Ihis schoolmate’s name—do you Wbﬂl‘bﬂaw«fw .« It was Richard Bteele, sir.”?. | the stern mouth grew almos! g*ﬁ% 48 18 Droot of the Sowts oF the A

B |- “Did Violet—did your mother ever ‘mention this Richard Steele to either Lof you ?” G cat . - The boy came forward and replied: “His name was the last on her lips ‘when she died; and, two days before Bhe left us, she gave me a letter which ‘1 was to put into liis own hand; and _Weo are searching for him, my sister and I, and, when we have found him, ‘we are going to live with a cousin of my father’s in Portsmouth.” * “You need look no further for Richard Steele, my boy; he is before you! :;%’)ozne into the house, and give me the leiter.” . >

_ The children followed him into the great parlor, and ‘calling the astonished housekeeper, he bade her prepare them some refreshments; then receiving the packet from the boy, he weni up stairs to his chamber, closed and locked the door, and sat down in the arm- chair by the window. He held the letter some time in his hand, gazing intently on the superseription, swhich he could scarcely discern for %l;e. mist that dimmed his eyes. At ength he kissed the writing and gently broke the seal, which the fingers of the dead had fixed. The contents of the sheet were as follows: RICHARD STEELE; | :

“Now that I am dying, it will wrong no one to confess what has hitherto been kept a secret in my bosom. You believed me false and fickle; you despised all women because of me, and I have suffered, you to go on in ignorance, while all the time my heart has been slowly breaking for want of your love. When you left me fo go out into the world in search of fortune, my love for you wronged heaven! I was an idolater, and you Richard, were my idol. But if my love was strong, my pride was stronger, and when your letters, after growing less frequent, ceagsed altogether, I sought no explanation of your silence. : - Georgie Dale, my step-mother, was my counsellor, and because I listened to her my whole life has been shipwrecked. She it was who first whispered in my ear the story of your. devotedness to a fair heiress; she it was who brought me the letter containing the tidings of your marriage. - Oh, Richard, Richard! who shall picture to you the days of agony which succeeded? But for my pride, I should have lost my reason! Well, after that,Charles Gray sought my fayor; my step-mother approved of him, and I perjured myself at God’s altar, Too late I learned the truth! It was all a vile ploti of Georgia Dale’s; I stood between her and you; but for me she hoped to win your Jove. You knew the result; her plot was a failure. You fled from the country, hated me in your heart, and never guessing that the smiling bri%e of Charles Gray cast out a thought after you. ~ Seven years ago my husband died, and during those intervening years I have earned my own and my children’s bread by the labor of my hands. Only once in that time have I looked on your face, and then you thought me hundreds of milesaway; but my will was potent, and I journeyed, on foot and about, a hundred leagues to see.you once more.: 5 You ' were walking in the garden, and tlie woman you turned away when she asked for & draught-of water was Violet Dale. I would not reveal myself to you; it is better as itis. And now heaven bless you, Richard Steele. I have loved you long, and you only; and in heaven where I am going, there is neither marrying and giving in marriage; meet me there. o VIoLET GRAY.”

lle. finished the manusecript, and, bowing his face upon the open sheet, the long pent sorrow of his heart burst forth in*tears—tears such as only one like him can shed. . The closed chamber was opened at last, the—deouble granite doors were rolled back, and the angels of tender memory flew in and took up their abode there. Violet Dale! the soft-eyed girl whom he had loved with the freshness of his youth and the fervor of his manhood; Violet, who had made his whole lifea tailure! And yet she had been iunocent; before the tribunal of his judgment she was blameless. Yet she was dead—what mattered this long-de-ferred discovery—it was toolate now! Too late for her, but not too late for her children. They should be his,and he would be their father. And it was even so. Richard and Violet Gray went forth no more from Ireton Hall; henceforth their home was with the early friend of their mother. 5 Unbounded was the surprise in Milford when it;(;vas known that Richard Steele had adopted two strange ehildren; but still greater was the astonishment when, on the following Sunday, the rich man walked into church, leading the orphans, one on either side. The good work was begui, and it went on until Mr. Steele’s whole nature was revolutionized. ,

Years afterwards, while he lay on his death bed, loving and grieving friends were around him, and at the very last he fancied he saw the face of nitslv lost Violet hovering above the cpuch. .

' And at his funeral there were few dry eyes, for the poor had learned to bless his bounty, and the sick and distressed offered up his name in their prayers. : = s ST

-And, therefore, say not that because men are harsh and cold there is no oasis in the desert, forin every human heart, however strong, there :is a fountain of sweet water, and happy is he who breaks the flinty barriers and allows the stream to gush forth.

Thoe Canse of Hard Times, and How : They €an Be Prevented. Lafayette Leader. ' : ‘

~ Hard times could never afilict the 'éinéman'%ople while the earth yields to the husbandman her annual productions if-we had a proper financial system. The present and all former seasons of hard times in the United States have been the result of a false, deceptive and delusive finan‘cial system ; false in assuming that a paper currency, of five times the value of gold, could be redeemed with gold. The present hard times and prostration of business, and forced idleness of the laborer, are caused by the false and deceptive belief that paper money .can be made equal in value with gold by contracting it, when it does not possess the same legal value with gold. The gold redemptionists all admit and desire a paper money redeemable in gold and made as good as gold, solely on the faith, hope and delusion that the promise of the banks to redeem it in gold, can, or will, make the paper as good as gold, but they.most persistently repudiate ‘and reject, giving the paper the same ‘legal character and power of gold, and ‘which’ is the only thing that-can make paper money as geod as gold. The present national banking is, we think, the best banking system ever yet adopted, and which is nothing but a cunningly devised scheme by which the bankers live and get rich by getting interest on what they owe, and is a direct fraud and robbery of laborers, .mechanics, farmers and business men, which is accomplished in the following manner; There are about seventeen hundred millions of government bonds, upon which the government pays interest semi-annually, thus placing thﬁ lender and the government on an equality, the government receiving .the use of the money and the lender receiving the interest for its use—which leaves each party equally benefitted according to contract. The banker: then gets the national currency in the -following manner: 1. By organizing a corporation called a bank and then purchasing say one hundred thousand dollars in government bonds which he takes and deposits with the treasurer of* the United States, who is compelled to keep and take care of the bonds, and pay the interest thereon regularly to the bank, the government all the while being responsible for the safe keeping and return of the bonds, The government then furnishes tos the ‘bank 90 per cent. of the par value of the bonds in national bank notes, printed and all executed ready for circulation, except the signature of the ‘president and cashier of the bank; this without cost or expense to the bank. When these notes are signed by the president and cashier of the bank, they become a promissory note of the bank, payable on demand in greenbacks, so that when they are signed and put in ecirculation, the bank has an .outstanding of ninety thousand dollars of indebtedness due on demand, and the people through the government have become security for its redemption or payment, thus increasing the indebtedness or liability of the government 90 per cent., only. holding her own bonds deposited by the bank as collateral security, and when they are signed and put in circulation, the bank gets 10 per cent.interest on what she owes; that on her ninety thousand in Sotes which she owes to the people. She receives nine thousand dollars interest - annually from the people who hold her notes, and on which the people through their government are, security for the redemption. So it will be seen that on the three hundred millions of national bank Indebtedness in circulation, the people are paying to these banks afnually thirty millions of dollars interest. Under the :present law the entire seventeen hundred millions of dollars may be turned into- a natignal bank issue of promises to pay, amounting to fifteen hundred and thirty millions of dollars, upon which the banks will get 10 per cent. interest, or one hundred and fifty-three million dollars annually. 'This shows so clearly . the whole design and purpose of the national banks, and the reason they. are opposed to the greenbacks, that we feel that the people will stop this grand and cunningly devised scheme of banks to live off the interest of what they owe, and if the indebtedness of any one is it for a currency or circulating medium, the promises of the government are the best that can be made—and if the government ‘would loan to the people her promises to pay, and the people pay her the same interest they pay the banks, the interest would pay the entire expenses of the government. I'or there is no legal way for national bank notes to get in circulation except by some one borrowing them from the banks, and placing a rider of 10 per cent. interest thereon to come off the laborers, mechanics, farmers and business men.

; “German Syrup.”’ M No other medicine in the world was ever given such a test of its curative qualities as Boschee’s German Syrup. In three years two million four hundred thousand ‘small bottles of this medicine were distributed free of charge by druggists in this country to those afflicted with consumption, asthma, croup, severe coughs, pneumonia and other diseases of the throat and langs, giving the American people undeniable proof that German Syrup will cure them. The result has been that druggists in every town and village in the United States are recommending it to their customers. Go to your druggist, and ask what they know about it.

ONE OF THE CAUSES OF HARD Moral: Zei Rich Men Pay Cash to the . Men Who Do Their Work. = Detroft Free Pregs, 0 . o 0 B ~ If the time ever comes when an American pays cash down for what he gets, there is a certain Detroit ‘blacksmith who wants to be alive and -see the phenomenon. His business ‘history is, perhaps, the business histo1y of hundreds of others. He rents the shop. The landlord wants - his rent the day it is due. He pays cash { down for his iron, his coal, and whatever else he has in his shop. Up to a day or two ago he ran three forges.— His men have families and must have their wages every - Saturday 'night. The patronage is what is called “first class.” That is, men of wealth send ‘their horses there to be shod and their 'vehicles there to be repaired. Pass ‘the shop any hour in the day, and you -will see from four to a dozen vehicles there to be overhauled, and the income- is often $2OO per week. Not one patron out of a dozen has paid cash down for his work. They have sent it there without the'least idea of paying anything until the bill' was sent in. Along abouf Friday the blacksmith gets into a _buggy and drives around to collect. He has accounts footing up two, three or four thousand dollars, some a year old, all against *good men,” as the phrase goes, and the amounts ranging from 75 cents to $35. He called on A, and A takes'the bill, looks it over and says: *“Come in again;” or “I ean’t pay it to-day,” or some other excuse. "He may have had his horse shod three months before. He knows that the smith has had to keep up his rent, pay his men, put down cash .for stock.— The smith is poor, while he is rich; yet he hands the bill back without thought or care of how the smith is to get along. B does the same, Cis not in, D.is off on a trip, and E; perhaps, pays a littleon the bili and says: “Come onfthe first of the month.” -

~ This particular blacksmith carried around with him last Friday and Saturday over $3,000 worth of accounts, called on forty-seven “good men” yet did not collect one shilling. -He had to. pay out that week $l2O for rent, stock and labor, and was thus $l2O worse off than the week before.— ‘When asked why he did not insist bn cash down, he answered: - . .

“Liet me make such a rule and my shop would be deserted. Men worth sloo,ooo° would take it as an -insult, yet here is a bill of 84 against a man worth $lOO,OOO, which he has avoided paying for the last six months.? =

. The other day one large forge ‘was hauled off. Thirteen vehicles needing repairs stood at the door, but one of the workmen was allowed to go because money could not be raised. On the accounts representing $B,OOO, the smith has paid over $2,000 for labor, stock and so forth. Each debtor is supposed to be worth at least $5,000, and some are known. to be worth gaoo,ooo, but the accounts can be bought for fifty cents on the dollar. There 18 a general ery that business is flat, and men are wondering when it will revive, Perhaps the way to revive business is for rich men to pay their debts. ‘Perhaps a little better way would be to pay cash dewn. Firms representing from $lO,OOO to $lOO,OOO can “carry” a few debtors, but the $5OO small concerns who have to turn their capifal over each week must have ready pay or go under. ' People who. can pay shirk payments. They willcarry full wallets, rush their work. in ahead of all -others, demand the very best, and yet “throw” a bill of twelve shillings until the creditors get: discouraged and cancel the amount.

My tongue was covered with a white parched ecrust, and my throat'was much inflamed. An old lady of my -congregation advised -me to use the Shoshoneés Remedy,: which she was then using. The first dose relieved me, and in a few days: my: throat was nearly well. I discontinued to use if, but my throat not being entirely well, becamne worse again.. I procured another supply, and I am happy to say that my throat is entirely well, and the white crust has entirely disappeared. ‘I wish that every. minister whé suffers from sore throat would try the Great Shoshonees RemeAN e e B

=% - THE GREAT FRAUD. The Rads Object to Hearing About the -.. Returning Board Fraud. = New York Express, ' .o . * Charles | Francis Adams has writ-. ten a characteristic letter in which he expresses his surprise and sorrow that - the Republicans have not been stung to make honest investigation of the frauds by which Mr. Hayes was made President. He deprecates the: disposition to let the great outrage on republican institutions and the people of the United States go unpunished and unrebuked. The languid movement toward an amendment of the- - which shall prevent the recur:en'c% of a similar wrong is not enough. - *lf the ‘earnest spirit be wanting, no good can come out of any artificial ' device. The question is, " shall fraud be justified by success? The Republicans now stand upon that ground. seems to me to be the- - of all honest men to counteract” this tendency by upholding the great: . maxim of law as well as of morals, that fraud spoils everything that it foushes i- u b G i X This point is too important and fﬂ' tal to be passed over in silence. The moment Democrats allude to the returning board iniquity or refer to the- - course of the, electoral 'qdmmissioi; ‘republican journals cry out against the attempt to rake up an old scandal and throw ridicule on the. discussion.| They assume that there isv-nothingi criminal in a crime, provided it is successful, but it is very wicked to call it a erime-and call attention to [it, and refuse to trust the criminal -again. The act on the ‘presumption the sin is not in sinning, but in denquncing a sin that has been committed | and is notorious. And when the absurdity of this assumption i 8 exposed|they tauntingly say, “We have "got the presidency, ‘and pow what re you going to do about it?” It is ‘he bold highwayman’s defiant answ ¢ to|the man he has robbed:: “Tol sure, I have got your money: now ieip yourself if you ecan.”. Of cours . the| Republicans do nof enjoy heariag abputl their crime. Nobody likes to De/galled a thief, and we do - not Llame g thief for objecting to denuneciations of stealing. The 7'ribune thinks people .are tired .of hearing about frauyd. Tweed and: Connolly’ and Sweeny thought it was very improper and unprofitable to waste so much white -paper on discussions of . fraud when paying advertisements could be had. The 7'%mes has no better stomach for these constant references to the returning board than John Morrissey has for attacks on. pool selling. But it is impossible for - Republicans to drug the people into apathy by fallacies, or divert them by jokes. The plain, indisputable, notorious fact remains that the republi- - can ' party seized the presidency by fraud, and the whole body is responsible for the act. Mr. Hayes may make . a creditable Fresident; but whether - good, bad or indifferent nfatters not, 80 long-as he was not elected to the of- - fice and holds it in virtue of successful frauds. - And every Republican who had a-hand in consummating the iniquity -is responsible for it and must . bear the imputation. And it is the- - of the democratic-party tosee that this wrong is not forgotten, and that-the men who perpetrated it are punished. 'This crime can notbecondoned without committing a greater ‘one. : ' »

SENATOR JONES denies the published assertions that his ad'vocacg) of the gilver bill is in any sense attributable to the fact of his interest in mines.— He says he has not taken a dollar out of his mines within three years; that ‘hg is'in no way in the interest of the Big Bonanza people, all of whom are wiolently opposed to the bill; that as the gwner of tHose mines the bill will not be specially advantageous to him, ° for if silver is to advance in value, and gold decrease, he will be no better off than at present, for his profits and losses would be almost equal, the difference being rather on the gold side of the scale, for his mines yield both ° gold and silver; and for other selfish ° reasons he might consistently oppose the bill. The opponents of the bill insist that the remonetization. of silver will be damaging to the interests of the East, From that view of the case, Jones says he ought to oppose it, because he has three times as much at stake east of the Rocky Mountains as he has west of them.
