PAOLI, p RANGE CO., The young man rose to a sitting posture, gazed vacantly about' for a momerit, and then rising went out into the night. He randered aimlessly along the lighted streets without chancing to encounter any policeman, and, at last, found himself down by the depot where an Eastern-bound train was just preparing to leave. Obeying the vague iuipnUe of getting away from the place then stopped with a kind of jar. A few ! sleejiy passengers rose, shook them- ; selves, and went out. The young man ; got off unnoticed amid the bustle, and , nits ciiy iiiuiis ami out on me well - traveled road ; across a bridge that , ' spanned a little stream, over which the drooping willows looked strangely familiar in the white moonlight. Onward and yet onward, through scenery that seemed in an undefined sort of way to be connected with some troubled dream of the past, and set him to vaguely wondering where he was, till at last a stately mansion rose before him, the lights drawing him on with a strange fascination, until he was near enough to look in through the long French w indows on the home picture within. It was nigh onto midnight .hut the occupants of the house had . . . . A . -. . , not as yet retired.

' " iainer w as sitting oy tne nresiae m nis comfortable arm-chair gazing abstractedly into the very heart of the blaze. His mother sat by the table w ith an open Bible before her, evidently reading her usual chapter preparatory to retiring. The appearance of warmth, ease and comfort of the apartment brought a strange pang to the heart of the watcher outside. He, the lawful heir to all this wealth and luxury, doomed to roam an outcast a midnight wranderer on the face of the earth gazing in at the paradise 'he has lost, yet daring no to enter. A mist came over his eyes, before which his mother's face swam indistinct. Lost, lost ! He repeated the word again and again till it seemed to his excited fancy that the whispering trees took up the refrain; the wind sighing through the rustling grass repeated it. Lost, lost ! Oh no, not yet ; there is still time to retrieve ; it is not too late, with the silent skies above him and the face of his mother before to cheer him on to new life, new hope and manly endeavor. If he could but go in, and, kneeling at her feet, receive her blessing on his resolves, it would ease all his future struggles ; but his pride withheld him. He looked at his father's f .ice ; there was no sign of relenting there. If he went in he might subject himself to contemptuous treatment at the hands of his father, and he felt he could endure anything rather than that; and again he seemed to hear those words of two years ago repeated with startling emphasis : " I will never own him as a son of mine ; I never want to see his face again." No ; he would not go in, but, baring his head there in the moonlight, he made a solemn vow to reform. With only Ovul tor a wanes. A ; '.'-a in s. It nee w a nijle.

had always been a loving and obedient wife. The funeral services were sad and touching in the extreme, but, after the hist carriage had left the grave no one saw the figure of the mourner, who, emerging from behind the wall of weeping willows, flings himself, face downward, on the grave, sobbing out his mother's name. "Mother, mother, if I had only come in time to have received your blessing before you died !" But presently he grows calmer, and, rising, turns his steps toward his old home. He has no fear of repulsion now. The white head and bowed figore of his father as he appeared at the grave awoke nothing but compassion in the mind of his son. The old man is sitting by the table with his bowed head resting on his folded arms, and in that moment of loneliness and sorrow his thoughts are of Don. This is his last day in the old house ; to-morrow it will be tenanted with strangers ; to-morrow 7os must go forth homeless into the world, even as he had sent his son seven long years ago, and, as his thoughts revert to that night, he sobs aloud in anguish and remorse. Where was the poor boy now ? He might be dead, and, if not, in all probability he had better be. Driven forth, amid the storm, in the darkness of night, with no knowledge of the world, where was he to turn if not to those same evil companions from whom he had just come, and, if he had kept up his associations with such as these through all these years, he must now have reached the depths of jhuman depravity, and, in the great day of judgment that is sure to eome to us all, to whose account would his ruin be placed ? In all justice, it must be placed to that of the father who had forsaken and denounced him. Some one enters, but, absorbed in his remorseful fancies, he does not look tip. "Father!" He raises his head quickly enough now, and gazes a moment, half-incredu-lously, at the tall, bearded man before him, and then, with a low, glad cry of recognition, father and son are at last reunited. In a comfortable home in the West fives Mr. McDonald with his son and family. He is meek and tractable in disposition, watching over his boy with an almost idolatrous care. His son's wife, Bessie a rosy-cheeked, blue-eyed, plump little woman, with a thrifty, house-wifely air receives a full share of his love, and he never wearies of playing with, petting and doing his best to spoil little Don, his 3-year-old grandson, who has eyes so much like his father's. The pledge that Don so seriously made was kept in every particular. He never touched the intoxicating cup again, but secured employment, and, by a fortunate stroke of luck, made the ac quaintance of a wealthy merchant w ho had known his father in their boyhood's day, and gave his son a paying clerkship, finally admitting him as junior partner of the firm. He married soon, and settled down to a fife of peace and contentment, always looking forward to the time when he might secure his parents' forgiveness, but arriving at home only in time to see his mother's grave. " I don't blieve grandpa ever used to seold 7t is boy," said little Don one day, after having received a slight paternal correction. " I wish m if papa wouldn't either." " Poor little Don, what a cruel papa you have got !" said the old man playfully, as he patted the child's curly head ; but the tears were in his eyes while he was speaking. Schkh. City. Mo.

Wisdom's Wasted It is not often that a public man whose whole Congressional career has been illustrated by extravagance, and who is personally responsible for a large part of the reckless appropriations of the Senate, sets up a claim to be an economist, and seeks to deprive others who have done their best to effect some retrenchment in the loose public expenditures of their fairly earned credit. Sir. Windom, who lias long been Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, where, backed by a majority of his political friends, he has exercised absolute control over all the regular bills for carrying on the Government, has undertaken this new character. The Bepublican Congressional Committee has issued a " supplement " and spread it broadcast over the West, in which Mr. Windom assumes to explain away the reductions made in the last and present Congress, and do deny the results which were achieved after the House of Representatives had passed out of Bepublican hands through the tidal wave of 1874. Every observer of affairs in the last three years, when, o wring to tne general .distress, attention has been more fixed on these subjects than usual, knows that an immense savins nas oeen enectea in an orancnes oi the public service since the power of the Bepublican party was broken in Congress by the loss of the House ; and, if ne cause more than another contributed to that remarkable change, it was the abuse of power in voting away the peopies money, and tlie corrupt objects to which it was appropriated. The people m their wrath took the first weapon tney coma una to breau tne neau oi tne party that was guilty of these wrongs, and Massachusetts was more conspicumis than any other in electing the Dem-

ocratic ticket, in order to emphasize her j stand, and might provoke a condition oi i hams? asked a man of Ins neighbor, indignation at the prodigality and open things which all good men would de- "Oh, yes," was the reply; "but the frouvenality of successive Bepublican Con- j plore in any political contest.

These facts are familiar to the whole country, and yet Mr. Windom tries to break their force by misrepresenting the actual good that has been accomplished, in spite of his constant, bitter, and unqualified opposition, which the majority of the Senate always sustained, and which the departments supported with false and exaggerated statements. Take a few illustrations, which are fresh, and easily disproven if any way eiToneous. A comparison of the last three years with a Democratic House, and the preceding three years when the Republicans had full swing, will show the difference in the appropriations actually made, as f ollows : Republican I Democratic. 1OT4 a81,5s7,C54.f;i 1STT $145.HIT,!56.72 1S75 m,r,,M,4'i-Ti 1STS l-10,:U.RH.i5 187(5. 172.6W.205.53 1870.. . 157,313,.KJ.77 Total.. 531 ,866,733.91 1 Total. .ii3,5'.)r.,iy7.4i Here is a plain reduction, which no sophistry can destroy, of $88,270,236.47 in the eleven great bills for the support of the Government. But these figures, imposing as they are, by no means represent the economy sought to be achieved in the last three years. The bills for these same objects, as they passed the House, were : For the fiscal year 1ST7 . . . . $ 138,0S0.S ,V5.fiS For the fiscal vear 1S7S 131.aO'..HU.S7 For the fiscal year 1S7D Ii7,0s7,7:i9.9j Total $-117,077,003.90 It is thus seen, by deducting the bills passed by the House from the appropriations actually made, that if the Senate had accepted them there would have been a further reduction of $2G,51S,593.45. When these bills went to the Senate, Mr. Windom and his political associates increased them as follows : 1S77 f157.4ia.W7.2n 1S7S l.tS.;S.s,s5.75 1679 lf;i,Sai',i!Ml Total $408,2G0,22.52 Deduct same bills as passed House for these years as above 417.l!77.0i'3.!a Increase by Senate . 51,183,018.33 There is no jwssible escape from this showing, which proves that after the lesson of 1874, and the hard times since 1873, the Republican party has either learned nothing, or is unwilling to run outside of the old ruts. But for the Senate, led in this matter by Mr. Windom, there would have been a great re duction and a corresponding diminiition of public burdens. As it was, the House was unable to carry out its policy, and consequently more than $20,500,000 were added to the expendi tures, every dime of which and much more, too, "by a reduction of the army, ouqht to have been saved. It is evi dent that, in the role of an economist, the Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate is not a great success, and he will not succeed in deeeiving many people this year with his million or ' more of manufactured "supfr "1 .

Grant j himself is cunning, and did not require much instruction after the general phis was marked out.

The popular I ' repugnance to a third term, and the j j corruption, ring rule, and robberies of ; Grantism, would have crushed him in ' j any event, had he possessed far more i j strength than his friends have ever claimed. j i But this upheaval in Maine, which is ' j the first blast of an angry storm that will carry all before it in other States, is an admonition which no man like j Grant is likely to disregard. He will i tr d that the camtaiists of tne coun j try, the national banks, and the railroad j corporations will all unite upon him, and that their union means an election at any price. His instincts and his per sonal associations and Ins tastes being 1 all in this direction, he will accept this i assurance as in the main true, the wish ; beinpr father to the thought. j Tempting as the suggestion is, it has drawbacks.
