It was one bright, crisp day, the 1st of January, 1875. The wind was from the northwest, but not in the least boister ous. The sky was blue, and the sun shone brightly, causing the snow, which had fallen the night before, to a sufficient depth to render sleighing on the avenue possible, to sparkle brightly and make weak-eyed people wink when they looked out of doors. A merry jmgle of sleigh- bells gave a cheerful sound in the air, and everybody said "happy New-year" to tiyery bod j, else with-Ji Jiearty zest that plainly indicated sincerity and enjoy ment. Every house on the magnificent avenue, except here and there one where a small basket hung by a black ribbon on the door-bell, was open to callers, and inside were I bright groups of, pleasant ladies waiting amiably to receive the compli ments of the season from the gentlemen of their acquaintance. But nowhere in the whole city could a prettier picture be seeu of New York life on New-year's day than in the parlor of Widow Duseubery. It was a fine house, with a brown -stone front aud bay window, and it contained a good many fine things besides the fine lady herself, who, on this particular oc casion, was the only visible occupant of her richly-decorated drawing-room. The widow has been fortunate in marrying a member of au old Knickerbocker family; she adopted all his ancestors as her own, and furnished her apartments with all the quaint old furniture that old families are popularly supposed to leave to their de scendants. Old china, old clocks, dingy ooking portraits, in tarnishad gilt frames, carious cabinets, and queer glasses and faience dishes abounded in all her rooms, which she had bought at auctions; and, if people chose to imagine that they were heirlooms brought from Holland bv her ancestors when they came over with Heu- drick Hudson in the "Half Moon," it was none of her business to correct their mis take. But she by no means wanted to be considered old herself. Quite the con trary. Her hair was scant and grey ; but she wore pertecriv loveiv tresses, i a rich brown hue, which had once belonged to a peasant girl of Brittany. And, al though it was many years since her cheeks had been iu' the least. suggestive of a dam ask rose, on this occasion they were so skillfully tinted by her own maid that no one woulu suspect trie complexion was not her own as, indeed, it was. But, if her complexion was not real, her diamonds and laces were, Juid they harmonized most admirably with her dove-colored satin dress and her pearl-handled mar about fan. Not only did the widow's tasto run in the direction of old furniture; and old families, but she preferred the old relig ous forms to theaiew, and she had one of the most high-priced pews iu the church of St. Bonifacios, which was very high aud ritualistic, and she enjoyed the rere dos, the candles on the altar, the boy choir, the purple chasuble of Father Lan sing, theacolytes, the thurrible, aud all the other ornamental accessories of that fashionable place of worship immensely. She believed in a personal I) , aud would not have yielded her faith on that point for any consideration. "Like a good many other good people who begin the new year with good reso lutions, the Widow Van Duseubery had resolved to turn over a new leaf aud iu- aigurate a rerorm inovemeut. .ue uau always been charitably inclined, and had subscribed very generously to the Anti mendicity Society ; but, owing to the fail ure of the Rainbow Insurance Company, she had been a considerable loser, and her income was diminished to such an extent that she had been compelled to sell her coach -horses and to dismiss two of her servants and she was now trying to rub alongin a quiet way, with only three maid servants and a one-horse cab, in which she did her shopping aud took her airings in the park. It was a rather humiliating condition to be placed in. Her husband had cruelly left her with the miserable in come of only $30,000; out of which she had to defray her own expenses and main tain her ouly child, a promising boy of 22, who was thn completing his educa tion in Paris, after having visited the Holy Land and Egypt. The name of this precious youth was Balthazar. But she called him Bait, be cause that was the way they called his uncle, after whom he was named aud whose property lie was expected to inher it. It was for his sake that she had de termined to turn over a new leaf. It was time she began to save up something against Bait's return ; for the poor boy had met with several little accidents, which required his overdrawing the sums he had allotted for his European expenses. Scarcely had she seated herself in her parlor,"with her feet resting uion a Per sian rug, and a glowing cannel-eoal fire lighting up her handsome features, than she had au opportunity for putting into practical shape her new resolution. There was a ring at the door-bell, and the widow , wondered who her first caller would be, when Bridget entered the parlor and pet ishly exclaimed : "It's only a beggar boy, who says he wants something to eat." "Drive him away," said the widow, with a look of disappointment, "It's too bad that people who live on the avenue should be so 1 roubled with beggars. We pay taxes enough to be protected from beggirs, and burglars, and beak agents, I am sure. Don't let one of them come into the hall door. They are "the plague of my life." Another ring at the hall door, for it was now noon, and the sound of bells and carriages and merry voices were heard out of doors. The duty of callers had com menced in earnest. Bridget came into the parlor again, with a small package in her hand, addressed "To the lady of the house." .' t This was something worUg-, having, in deed. What a graceful and pleasaut re minder it was, to be sure, of the good old times ! It was a long, slender flask, cov ered with gilt labels certifying to its be ing a genuine product of the famous con vent of the Chartreus ; and attached to it was a card bearing the "Compliments of the seasou from Pilford & Co., choice family groceries, etc." "What a pleasant thing it is to be re mem be red in so delicate a manner on New-year's day, said the widow. Char treus was always my favorite liqueur. It is such a religious cordial, coming direct from the hands of those holy monks at the Chartreus. What a lovely color it is!" It was, indeed, lovely, for it was the golden-colored, and not the green ; and the widow said she must have a taste of it at once. Instead of placing it on the re freshment table, iu the extension, she ordered Bridget to bring a little Japan stand and place it at her side, with a sil ver waiter "and some liqueur-glasses, so that, when one of her intimate friends came iu, she could ask him to take a drop of the delicious cordial with her. She drank one glass of it, and found it so much to her liking that she could not well resist the temptation to try another. It was so fragrant, so delicate, so sweet and so smooth ! the stranger In an impressive tone of voice, "that to be virtuous is to be happy. But you won't hare a good time." The widow would Tiave smiled at the odd remark of her visitor j but he winked his right eye at her in such a wicked man ner that it caused a cold chill to creep I over her. " "Was there any thing more ' that you desired t" said the stranger in ' a persua sive manner. ' '.' "Really, now," said the widow,' "ahnn- dred thousand dollars is such a small sum, and it would make such a small show alongside of the fortunes of some of my dear Bait's acquaintances.

"Is there anything else you desire?" "What a simpleton I was," said the wid ow to herself, "to make such a moderate demand!" And, as she looked at the two bundles of greenbacks, they really seem ed hardly worth having. "Since you are so very kind," replied the widow, "may I be so bold as to ask you to make up the sum to five hundred thousand T It will be such a delightful surprise to Bait when he comes home to find such a fortune at his disposal. I hope you will not think me unreasonable." "I beg yon will make no apologies, my dear madam," said the stranger, while a grim smile seemed to flicker across his pale features. "Anything may be for given to a mothers love, lour desire shall" be gratified." The stranger there upon placed another but larger bundle of greenbacks upon her lap, making up the desired sum.

That Governor Vauce is not the Bourbon that he is painted yas attested bj- the remarks of the colored orator of the day, who ac corded him full aud special praise for what his administration had done for the promotion of the interests of the colored race.

Most people who knew the Widow Van Duseubery imagined that she had every thing that heart could desire ; but she had a capacious heart, which was capable of clesiiing a good many tilings that fortune had withheld from her. For herself she did not care. She couhl live, if necessary, unon-the hull of a bean ; but she could not endure the idea of anything being de nied her darling boy. She had indulged in many ambitious schemes for the pro motion -of his happiness ; and as she sat musing upon the possibilities of the fu tare, she heard the cheerful tootiug of a tiu trumpet, which announced the coming of a coach driven by a number of the Four-in-hand Club. "There they go !" she exclaimed, in a half-rejroachl'ul tone. "But it' Bait were at home he could not afford to keep a drag. He would be compelled to amuse himself with billiards and cigars, poor boy ! It is too bad." And a pearly tear meandered down the widow's check," dividing her complexion iu a very curious manner. "I wish,"1 she said to herself, "that I had 8100,000 that I could give him as a New -year's present, when he comes back from his European tour. It would be such a delightful suprise to him ; and then he could drive a coach of his own." "A hundred thousand dollars is not such a very unreasonable sum," said the rentleinan whom the widow just at that moment discovered by her side, but whose entrance she had not before noticed. "1 think myself it is very reasonable," she said, "and I don't see why I could not have it." "Vou shall have it, my dear mad am," said the stranger. "Such modesty nnd maternal tenderness as you have manifested in your very reasonable de sires must be rewarded." Aud thereupon the stranger drew from his bosom a bundle of greensbacks, which he reached her, on which was distinctly- inscribed $100,000. "Thank you ! I am overcome by your goodness," she said, as she took the bundle and placed it on the little table beside the Mask of Chartreuse. "Won't you take a glass of this delicious liqueur !"' .she said "I never drink," replied the stranger, solemnly. But this is a cordial made by the mouks of Chartreuse," said the widow. "So much the worse," said the stranger. "I hate monks and all their works." This was said with such a bitterness of tone that the widow looked into the face of her visitor, and saw that he was a very saintly-lookiug personage. He had a very pale complexion, regular features, black hair and eyej, thin hps and a clean-shav en face. He was dressed exactly in the style of a ritualist high churchman a long-skirted, black frock coat, with a nar row collar that fitted closely to his neck, a waist-coat which had no opening in front, and a misty black baud around his throat. In truth, he looked so nearly like the Rev. Brown Stout, who sometimes of ficiated at the altar in St. Boaifacius, that the widow felt coufideut he must be a truly good man, and it would be disre spectful to him to ask where he came from. fIt is a favorite maxim of mine," said His Position Defined bit IlimselfIfe Exhaust Hi Constitutional Powers Promote Reform. will (From the Washington Post of Thursday.)

A rich money-lender a Jew, of course to work upon, will soon abandon their lost 1,is P"1 at ne of t,,e 1aiish lail anti-Southern programme. As for other matters of public policy, Mr. Hayes remarks that he has seen no cause to reconsider any action of the past, generally speaking, and no reason to mod itV sinv nurnoses which he may have l A formed or announced at any previous pe riod of his administration. Without re ferrhig specitically to the .New lork ap pointments, but evidently having them in mind he observed that he had not been moved by the action of the Senate either to abate his desire of carrying out the policy generally known as civil service reform, or to despair of final success in the selection "of instrumentalities to that end. He would neither deny nor athrni the statement that had been made in the press relative to his design of greeting Congress next week with a special mes sage on that subject, but it was true that he intended to exhaust his constitutional powers in the promotion of such reforms, The most remarkable thing that he said was that no plea or remonstrance based upon purely partisau considerations would have anv weight with him, no matter by whoni it might bo made; and that he at tached importance to those represent a tions only which were put upon the M-onnd of the ireiieial public welfare. He ' intimated that there had leei of late a cessation of pnrty appeal to him, which was a relief, because his love for the name of Republican aud his reverence for the early traditions of his party was sostron; that it was not easy i-r pleasant to hini to way stations, just as he was ou the point of starting for the United States, whither he was compelled to-go on inostHmpor- tant pressing business. The purse con tained about 1,000 in notes and gold. On his return, some six weeks afterward, he learned that the purse had been found, and was deposited at the Lost Property Office. He weut there, and the purse was handed to him. With a trembling hand and his heart beating with jo he opened it, and carefully examined the contents "Pardon me," he said, when he had fiuished counting, "there's something mis sing." "I believe not," replied the official "What is it ?" "Vat is it !
