IUis a conceded fact, that the North

through his untiring labors in their be
half, were better, cared for and bet

above all this, he is the unmistakable
choice of a vast majority of the Demo
cratic party, to those Whose behests we
should eheerfully bow easting aside all
personal preferences. Governor Vance
has lost much of his popularity in this
immediate vicinity, owing to his unfortu
nate selection of the railroad appointees,

"Do you ever read the 'Guide to Holi

Mrs. Simpkins, with increased warmth of

"Thank yon, sister ; not to-day. Some

"The work strenuously urges the doc

"Guide to Holiness," and opened it. "Per

"How foolish in you, Bridget, to get

get angry, and not yours. Jt was my

"Ah, and there was no money burnt at

"And it's not well off any one is, that

"I shan't listen to any more of yourim

said Mrs. Simpkins.

be productive of good. There is no com

And the deacon took his leave in no
way benefited by his visit, and feeling that
lie had conferred no benefit. Mrs. Simp

him. He could not touch the hem of her
garment.
She fiew up stairs to her nursery and
snatched the baby from Bridget.
"Now go to your washing as quick as
you can, and try and have it done in some
kind of season for once. And have your
dinner cooked decently for once, if yon
can. '
"What now?" he asked.
"Oh, Bridget has flared up."
"What's the matter!"
"She complains of her work."
"I don't much wonder. She's at iteve-
orning at 5 o'clock, and I leave her
hard at it when I go to bod, and yet I do
not believe it is ever done."
"Well, whose fault is it, I should like

Two years ago Joho L. Garthman, of
Lewiston, Me., graduated with honors at
Yale. As during his years in college he
had, in addition to his regular studies,
read law with au attorney of New Haven
it only required a year iu a law office at
Kokome, Ind., to fit him for admission to
the bar, after which he immediately came
to New York, and tried to get into prac
tice. Unfortunately for Mr. Garthman, he
discovered that there were already 0,000
lawyers in this city, all trying to get in
to practice, and there was about as much
hanceforhim as being elected to the presi
dency. Ofhce rent and board bills soon
consumed the little means he had and he
was at the end of his string. As he was
a month iu arrears, his landlady commen
ced to regard him with looks not altogeth
er pleasant, and the prompt landlord who
owned the ollico he occupied notified him
to pay or get out. Mr. Garthman dis
covered that while there was identy of
room on the upper shelves, it would re
quire a great many years of climbing, and
that he would probably starve to death a
great many times before he could reach
eveu the lowest of the said upper shelves.
So he determined to quit law and try
something else. He was a sensible young !
man, aud so lie tidiiot

But he did find something he could do.
Down iu one of the streets close to Wall,
under the sidewalk of a popular restaurant,
he noticed a light, clean open space that
was unoccupied. He went to the pro
prietor of the restaurant and took that
place at a -nominal rent, and, promptly
pawning his ulster to produce stock,
opened business there as a bootblack !
As a matter of course he did not wish
to be known as a polisher ot boots up
town, for he was living in a rather exclu
sive boarding house, to which only the
most respectable were admitted. It was
no trouble to conceal his idenity. Soma

and no snch business either. And so he
plied t lie old gentleman, with suspicious,
intimating that probably the young man
was ajlealer in a faro bank, a smuggler,
a policy dealer, and all that, till both he
and Lillie were nearly crazy. "Fiually the
following conversation ensned:
"Mr. Garthman, I insist, before you are
seen with niy danghter any more, upon
knowing who you are, aud what you are
doing and where yo:i are doing it ?"
"Mr. Pickham, I am John L. Garth
man. I earn money enough to support
your daughter properly, and for the rest
must decline to answer."
"You decline, do -you ? No man who
has anything to conceal shall have any
thing to do with a daughter of mine." '
And in consequence a strick injunction
was laid upon the girl to see him no more
which she violated just as often as she
could get out of the house.
One day. Mr. Bathnrst entered the res

Mrs. Simpkins entered with a sweet and
placid countenance, and grave, subdued
manner, like one just leaving chapel ser

chastened tones welcomed the deacon,
and assured him of her lijgh estimate of
the privilege of Christian communion, of
the strength she derived from Christian
association, the comfort from Christian
sympathy.
The deacon had barely time to make a
suitable response, when she inquired:
"And what is the state of Zion, deacon?
What say the watchmen on her walls?"
The question was general, aud the dea
con was safe in the answer, "Few go iu

"And why, why is it?" exclaimed Mrs.

the 8piritof God poured out? Surely the
