NORAH’S NEW YEAR,

It was New Year’s eve. The streets were thronged with pedestrians, the jingle of the sleigh-bells was ever and anon heard, and all the world seemed to have forgotten care, and taken a holiday. But not so. There were sad faces among the merry ones; the poor and wretched jostled against the gay and happy; and this life-picture, like all others, had its dark back-ground. Looking in at the brilliantly lighted w.ndow of a confectioner, stood a little girl, her face blue with cold and hunger, her eyes wisiful and pathetic. She had on a light calico dress, shoes that were too large for her, and a strange kind of garment—half shawl, half cloth—so worn.and patched that oye could pot tell its original shape orcolor. Her age was not over nine or ten, yet she seemed more like a litfle old woman than a child, . There was an air of wisdom in the way she turned her head, and wrinkled up her forehead, and pressed her lips togeth-

er; as she gazed-atthre confectioners candies and cakes, as if she thought them all very pretty, but at the same time very unsubstantial. Once or twice the child-nature showed itself in her eyes, but was quickly followed by an expression of gravity and sorrow, touching in one so young. Finally she turned away with a sigh, and at!that instant the confectioner’s door opened, and a lady, richly dressed, came out. Something in the child’s face or looks attracted her attention. She stopped, drew the shivering little figure toward the light,and scanned it curiously. : ' “What is your name, dear ?” she asked kindly. “Norah,” was the answer, givenin a low voice, and with a look of wonder at the questioner. :

“Norah!” echoed the lady turning pale. *“Norah what ?” “Norah Brady, ma’am.” e

“Oh!” and an expression, partly of relief, partly of disappointment, swept over the listenersface. Then sheslipped some money into the child’s hand, and whispered: “Spend this money as you please, dear. It is a New Year’s gift.” oS e

Norah’s cheeks flushed and she drew back a little proudly. : e “I can not take it, ma’am,” she answered, in even, steady tones. “Papa would: be angry if I did.” ‘;{&n'gry that you accept agift? Why s 0? i ; I

“Because we’re poor, and when people give us things, he says it’s out of charity.” . . : “But is that any reason for refusing them ?” .

“Yes, for papa and I are very independent, and had rather earn our own money.” The little figure straightened itself with an air of dignity almost womanly. - “You are a strange child,” was the reply, and the l:}%y looked interested and amused. “Tell me where you live ?” 3 2

- The street and number were named, and then Norah raised her honest blue eyes, and said softly: - “Please don’t think me ungrateful, ma’am. You are very kind indeed.: Only'that papa has seen better days, and it hurts him now to be poor, I might, perhaps, keep it.” And she handed back the money with a wistful little glance that spoke volumes.

~ “Have youw a mother, dear?” questioned the other. iy :

The blue eyes then filled with tears. “No, ma’am,” she answered, in a quivering voice. “Mamma died three ‘years ago.” » Why was it that a throb of pain stirred the listener’s heart at these ‘'words? What. was Norah’s mother to her? She felt drawn toward the child, she hardly knew why; drawn, too, toward the dead mother, and the strange, proud father. Norah’s eyes, Norah’s name, were like those of a little sister she had lost—by a separation almost warse than death. She ‘had not forgotten it, and to-night the memory of that olden time softened her heart, and made her pitiful toward the griefs of others. But all this while her carriage stood waiting, with ‘a whitehaired old gentleman inside, and the coachman impatiently stamping his feet. ' “I must leave you,” she whispered to Norah at last, longing to clasp the little figure to her breast. “I shall come and see you soon, may I not?” Then, seeing the child hesitated to reply, she added: *“Are you afraid papa will object? .Tell him charity has nothing to do with it,but it is for my own sake, and because you remind me of some one I'loved years ago, that I wish to come.” e

" Norah was a hospitable little soul, and .the beautiful lady had complete1y won her heart. . “Papa v’;vill be very glad to see you,” she said, simply, “and I t 00.” , ‘

“Thank you, dear.” Then moved by a sudden impulse, the lady stooped down and kissed her. The coachman, looking on, rubbed his eyes, and tho’t that perhaps Norah was some little princess in digguise. And so she was, and by a right more royal title than that of blood or money. “What child was that?” questioned the white-haired old gentleman, as tlze lady took her seat in the carriage and bade the coachman drive on. “Some beggar with a tale of distress that touched your sympathy?” He looked at her fondly, and in a manner that showed she was the “one woman of the world” to him. 7

“Not a beggar,” and the lady smiled and told how Norah had refused the money. “But the child interested me strangely. She has eyes like those of the little Norah I left in Ireland, and for a minute I had a faint hope that my search was at last ended. But her father’s name is Brady.” T . “And yours was O’Connell,” said the gentleman.. “And it wasnot here, but to France, that he migrated.” - “I know ;” and a touch of impatience came into her voice, “It was but for a minute, as I said. Afterward I understood how impossible it was.” She sighed bitterly, and went on: “I wonder if this is to be the punishment for my sin and folly—that I am never to know the fate of those I deserted.”

- “That girlish sin and folly, as you call it, dear wife, has been expiated long sinee,” was the answer. “Let the past ‘bury its dead. Do not make yourself miserable by raking ‘up its ashes.” - “I am not unhappy,” she said, softly. “Why_ should I be? Every wish is gratified save one—that of reconciliation with my parents, and perhaps it is right this shculd be denied me.” _“Has- it ever occurred to you that they may.be dead ?” asked the gentlenia;:, and;look‘ing ab her compassionate. yc = L 2 Hk : ' “Many times,” she answered. “But I cannot make myself believeil. Somefﬁ;inf seems to tell me they are living: AndinwEat’ o g e __“Oh, that is becanse the agent we

~#ent over to Ireland told us your fath@r had lost his property. You would Bba ,x;a_lly’ think of him as poor after “Yes, and when pride is joined to poverty, the struggle is the harder.— Father was a strange man; stern, and Baughty and obstinate, but under the «harsh exterior hid one of the warmest ‘Bearts that ever beat. I can undersBtand wHy he left Ireland so suddenIy, and covered up all traces of his dhight, lest those who had known him 4B prosperity should witness his humiliation. He could not have borne BHat; it would have been the added drop of bitterness that would have Gboked him. But mother was differ--ent; so meek and gentle, and was the ‘only living person that knew how to ;@page him. Every one else was sure { 0 Bee the worst side of his queer na“ture.” ?g’Ah, yes! you have told me of her ‘before. . But I cannot understand, Kate, why she never answered your Igtters. You were butseventeen when you eloped with that villain—a mere child—and surely she might have given ‘you some words of help and comfort when your heart was almost broken by his baseness. Truehe was your wedded husband, and held you by a bond stronger than that 6f parents; but their silence was cruel and I cannot forgive them for it.” - “You do not know how I have tried their love. My father often warned me against the man, my mother told -me of his falsehood and wickedness, ‘and I deceived, betrayed them both. Oh, 1 was guilty of such base subterfuge, it seemed as if a demon had entered into me, and I was no longer my ‘ real self. Whatever they said only increased my obstinacy and made me more infatuated with the object of their censure. Desides, you must re- ‘ member, my father had reason to think I robbed him the night of my _departure, though the theft was com'mitted without my knowledge, and by -the wretch into whase hands I ‘had \ trusted my honorand happiness. That 1 could have been so blinded to his real character seems impossible now; but he had a winning, plausible manner, and I was vain and foolish, fond of flattery and admiration.” « “And you fled to America at once, did you not, and wrote home from there 2” g e

“Yes. My husband’s villainy was first revealed to me on board the ship that took us over. laccidentally came across the money ‘he had stolen from my father, and recognized the purse that held it as one I.had knitted myself. I asked for an explanation, and he gave it boldly, gloating over the idea of what he called a just and righteous vengeance, instead of the hateful cri‘%e it seemed to me, It was there I found out there had been a feud of long, standing between him and my father, and that it was for this he had married me, and thus struck his enemy to the heart.”

~ “Though the villdin is dead,it makes my blood boil to think of him, Kate. But did you not mention all this in your letters—the vile plot, the stolen money ?” ; . “¥es, und'mere too. I told of my desolate condition in New York,alone and friendless, for as soon as we landed I fled from the wretch whom the law had made my husband. He followed me, persecuted me, prevented me. from obtaining any respectable employment; and oh! the terriblelife that I led those two years that he lived. -It is dreadful to say it, but his death was a relief. =

«And they never answered your letters!” said her husband indignantly. «] cannot understand such vindictiveness.” e - : “The f(irst one was returned unopened,” she answered ; “and of others I never had any tidings. Butl amsure they would have forgiven me had they known it all. The suspicion has occurred to me lately that they fell into my husband’s hands, and that he remailed and stamped the first one to deceive me and prevent my writing others.” : “Don’t call that man your husband, Kate. It makes me shiver. Ie was capable of anything, and I have no doubt your suspicion was correct. But you wrote after his death.” - «T did not,” she replied. “I ‘was 80 utterly heart-broken, by all that had occurred, as to believe myself anoutcast from love and kindness forever more. You know what I suffered, and how I went from place to place, vainly seeking employment. The stage was the only means of livelihood that offered itself. . Ah! can I ever forget from what a life you rescued me, the humble ballet-girl ?” . , “But remember you said it was from love, not&gratitude. that you became my wife’ For lam old enough to be your father, Kate, and had you refused me what I craved, would have adopted you as my daughter.” “old in years but young in heart,” she answered. “If my first marriage was a wretched mistake, my second is indeed Dblest, and crowned with such happiness and glory as I never hoped to'enjoy.” : . The carriage had reached the suburbs of the city by this time, and now stopped " before a large house with ‘an old-fashioned, hospitable aspect very: inviting. : ; 2 “Home at last!” said the gentleman, jumping out as nimbly as if he had been younger. “Come Kate.” She followed, and leaning on his ‘arm went up the steps and into the house. No further allusion was made Dby either to the subject of their conversation during the drive. But the thoughts of one kept continually recurring to the child she had seen in front of the confectioner’s; and when Kate Hillard closed her eyes in sleep that night, it was with the firm resolve to see Norah’s father early the next day, and find out who he was and whence he came, for Norah’s words, Norah’s looks, seemed like an echo from the past, and had in them something of the spirit she remembered.

- Norah’s thoughts were as full of her asjhers of Norah. “Such a lovely lady!” mused the child, as she hurried home.: “I don’t think papa would have minded my taking the money,if he could have heard all she said, and seen exactly how she looked. It is New Year’s eve, and what if she were not areal lady, but just some fairy going about doing good. I saw anice old gentleman inside her ecarriage, though, and a live coachman on top. 1 guess she’s flesh and blood like the rest, onl-y kinder and more thoughtful, perhaps.” g sk It was toward a wretched quarter of the city that Norah bent her steps,and the tenement where she nW was old and dilapidated and crowded with human beings. She ascended the ~dimly lighted by a tallow candle, The door stood open and she entered softly, Then ghading her eyes with her hand, sho looked around, There was

a bed in one corner, and upon thatlay a man asleep.:

“Poor papa,” she thought, “he is tired out. The doctor says he ought not to work, but he will, and I can’s help it. T almost wish I had taken the money. It would have bought a chicken and I could have made him some broth to-morrgw. Buthe would not have eaten it if he knew how I got it. Oh, dear it is so hard to be poor and have a sick father.”

She -bustled about a little, setting the room to rights, and tried to look cheerful, though she was down-heart-ed. But the tears came in spite of her ‘when she went to the cupboard and looked in to see what there was for breakfast. Only a £ﬁw dry crusts and a small piece of bacon. If ilt had not been New Year’s eve their poverty would not have seemed so bitter. She. had gone hungry before and never complained, but now, Jooking at her pale, worn father, and remembering the sad Christmas they had spent, her heart rebelled, and'xgle almost doubted the goodness of (God, who let poor people suffer thus. Then her mother’s sweet face rose up before her as if in reproach, and she folded her hands together and hreathed a prayer for help and comfort. | Poor ‘Norah! a child in years, but weighed down with a woman’s cares, old in trouble and the wisdom born of it. It was well that she had early learned where to leok for guidance when sore and distressed and buffeted by the cold, cruel world. f

Her father did not awake, and she finally took up the bit of candle and retired to an inner room hardly larger than a closet.: Its only furniture was a little cot-bed. Into that she crept after undressing he?self, and soon fell asleep, She dreamed of an angel with the face of the beautiful lady who, in some magical way had been changed info a fairy, all spangles and lace.

The sun was nedarly an hour high when she awoke the next morning, though her room was still dark, for it had but one little window high- up that opened on a brick wall. But she rubbed her eyes anlx—i’l looked around as if bewildered, for surely some one bent over her, and whispered softly, “Little sister! Little sister!” She sat up in bed, and she felt two arms clasp her close, and warm kisses rain down on brow and lips and cheeks. 'She was not afraid, only’ wondered what it all meant, and whether she was really in her own little rooxjn, or in fairyland, or in heaven. T L

- “Dress quickly, dear,” said the voice she had heard first. “There is a gentleman waiting for you.” The voice was that of the beautiful lady and so was the form that she recognized by the dim light. = Half believing it a dream still Norah slipped on her clothes, and with her hand clasped in that of her companion, opened the dvor oif the other room.— There she saw the white-haired old gentleman she remembered so well, and her father talking cosi%y together; and if she had been puzzled and bewildered before, she was even more so. now. Vg o

“Come here, my daughter,” said Mr. O’Grady, or O’Connell, as he was called thereafter. “The New Year has brought you a sister,” " : - “What do you mean, papa?” Norah stammered. i £

{ “Tell her, Kate,” whispered the old ‘gentleman. - b . Mr. O’Connell had heard the story before, but he listened again as the sweet voice trembled in its narration, and once wiped a tear furtively from her eyes. ‘ e ~ “My sister! My own, own sister!” cried Norah, joyfully, clasping Kate close. Then in alow voice she added: ~The last word mamma spoke was Jyour name.”, ‘ At this tears came into the eyes of _both, and Mr. Hillard, seeing them, rose hastily and said, “come, come, Kate, it is tig{g we were going.- Your father .is réady, and so is Norah. You can talk all you want to afterward.” ‘ e ;

Mr. O’Connell’s reluctance to accept his daughter’s hospitality was' finally overcome and he consented that Norah and himself should make part of her household. His pride was great, and had led him to assume a false name, and almost make a martyr of Norah, but he had begﬁn to have faint perception that a great deal of error and selfishness were mingled with it, and was ready to make amends.

He soon afterward recovered his’ health, and through Mr. Hillard’s instrumentality obtained employment at once lucrative and honorable, so that he was enabled to support both him+ self and Norah independently, ‘ ¢ Norah grew more like a child, and less like a woman, under the new influences by which she was surrounded. But she was none the less true and honest, and her sister rejoiced to see the signs of care fade out of the young face that had once been so sadly mature. | But neither Norah, nor Kate, nor Mr. O’Connell ever forgot the day that ushered in their new-found happiness, and fo them tpe New Year brings greater joy than any other holiday. vt e . : The Great Shozhonees Remedy and Pills, ; The success that these medicines have met with since their introduction to the public some years ago, proves plainly to the most skeptical that they are medicines that perform what they are advertised to do.

A REMINISCENCE. / | W. W. Warden’s Account of the Attempt j .to Remove Stanton. .~ 2 In a recent letter ““Gath” gives the (o!lowlqg: ; " Yesterday I met Mr. Wallace Warden, who Wwas a sort of a newspaper secretary to President Johnson, and is full of curious information about that eccentric administration., I calledhis attention to the matter now under discussion, General Grant’s obligation, if any, to Andrew Johnson on and about February 21, 1868, when General Lorenzo Thomas was selected to oust Stanton from his desk, notwithstanding the tenure-of-office act of Mareh® 1867 ° - iveiiio

£ V;Varden' said, as well as I can recoleclL: g S T b “The first I knew about Stanton’s removal was one day when I entered the White House.

You stir him up abonbit™ .. .. .. 0 Then, said Warden: “I did call Johnson’s attention to Stanton’s attitude when I went up. Johnson remarked: -‘I think Mr. Stanton is very sick. You had better suggest, but not on my authority, that it ig:advisable to put Stanton.at the court:of Spain in place of John P. Hale, who has got into a disgraceful ‘quarrel with his secretary, Perry. It is true that Stanton is my enemy, and is doing all the harm he ean, and: I want to work him' off.” Accordingly I sent a dispateh to the New York Zimes that Mr. Stanton. was sick and wanted to retire, and would go to Spain as minister. The next day old Thurlow Weed and Henry J. Raymond came to Washington. They met me near the White House grounds. ‘Why, Warden, said Raymond, ‘Stanton says there is not a bit of truth in that dispatch, 'He is indignant about it.’ *Well, said I, ‘you go to the White House, .and ask ‘the President.” They met me again, or Raymond did, and he said: -“Yes, Johnsvon bears you out, but don’t send any more dispatches tous in that interest.” . Raymond -and Weed were both grinding axes and making profit -on commissions at the War and State Departments. . Lo R - “When Stanton was displaced General Lorenzo Thomas got drunk, and I saw him leaning against the counter at Willard’s hotel, surrounded by a crowd, talking loudly and foolishly. I went up and told Johnson what a disgraeceful spectacle it-was.” He then assailed Stanton furiously." Incourse of time Grant took the war office, and when he left it he delivered it over to Stanton. The night Grant did so, he came with his wife to the reception of Mr. Johnson’s daughter, and had a bigger levee than Johnson himself.— ‘The President soon retired; and I followed him up stairs-to hig office. He walked up and down the room, and began to upbraid . Grant ‘I called him a liar and ‘a personal traitor to me,’ said Johnson, ‘and he went out of that door without resg_n;ing o e | “Well, now,” I asked, “who made all that quarrel? Who got Grant to espouse Stanton’s causg??, . ¢ . “I have always thought,” said War‘den, “that it was Seward, He played fast and loose and foxy; and was always for himself only.”

. HORROR! = Terrible Boiler Explosion in New An- Immense- Candy Factory and Sur- - rounding Bgildings Destroyed. | Forty or Fifty of the Employes Burned or- . " Crushed to Death. _ NEw YoRrEK, Dec. 20.—At five minutes past five o’clock this evening, the . people in-the neighborhood of Bare- - lay street and Collage place were startled by an explosion that souhded like the discharge of a cannon. The. con-, cussion broke many hundreds of window panes. : This was followed by the crash ‘of a falling building, and the people on Barclay street saw almost - the. whole inside of the five-story building, No. §3 Barclay street, torn ‘out and shot up into the air with almost indeseribable violence. The fountain of debris, according to the testi‘mony of eye-witnesses, rose fully thirty feet above the roof, :and before it had fallen, the shell of the building, with such of its inner frame-work as was not torn away, was enveloped in flames. So suddenly did the fire fol--low the shock that no one could be found on the street to describe how the flames caught. It was known by all the neighbors that in Greenfield’s . confectionery store a great number of hands-—men, girls, and boys —wereemployed, and there was once the most intense anxiety as to the probable loss of life—an anxiety that was not allayed in any degree for some hours, but which was expressed in wild and ex- - aggerated rumors, according to which the dead were numbered by hundreds. At this writing, 11 P. M, the loss of life is estimated at from 20 to 60. In the' rear of the large Barclay street - front, the building, after beingcarried up oue story, was divided into two “L’s” connected at each floor by bridges fifteen feet long. - The shock threw down nearly all the front wall' on Barclay street, leaving only the first story standing. A great number: of ‘persons-who had friends or relatives in-that building say they are missing. | ~ A later estimate places the number of persons in the building at the time the explosion occurred at 170, includ- - ing 20. visitors and customers. The loss is now estimated at $500,000. -

‘'« Democratic State Convention. ;. The Evansville Courier is desirous of getting some expression from the democratic press on the subject of the -time and place of holding the next Democratic State Converntion.

A glance at the map will suffice tc ‘settle the question -as to the place.s With eleven different railroads con verging at Indiangpolis, and being the geographical center of the State, with ‘abundant hotel accommodations, it is folly of talk of holding the convention at any other: place. We believe it is claimed that outside pressure. ' is brought to:bear on the delegates by the people of that city, but the same thing would be done elsewhere. In the north part of the State it is possi: ble a demand may be put in for La fayette, but it would be unsatisfacte ry in the south. So also as to Terre Haute or Richmond—while 'some localtit;ies would be suited, others would not. ! :

As to the time, we are very emphatic and positive in our convictions that the convention should not be held before the first of May. Political backs’ and office-sgékers live and feed on excitement that kind, but it is folly to talk of getting the masses of the people interested in party nominations nine months before the election, and to maintain their interest through a campaign of that length. Twenty-five -years ago when the elections were held -in August and there were not half a dozen railroads in the State it ‘was probably well enough to hold conventions on the eighth of January, as double the time was required to ‘make a canvass, but that day has gong by. ‘A man who will urge the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans. as a day for nominating because of the “time honored” custom, and believe our candidates would stand a better chance. of success because selected on that day, would consult the almanac for a “sign” when to butcher. his hogs. | 5 Let us abandon superstition in this matter and be governed by practical common sense.—Sullivaw Democrat.
