EAKMNU IIEKbWK I.IVItVO,
It was a tempestuous night in Novera-*
ber. The carved Dutch clock in Judge
Ilarrjsou.'s study had just si ruck nine.
Judge Harrison himself, an austere
looking, silver-haired men sat upright
iu his chair, gazing coldly at his guest.
'Well.' ssid Dr. Hooper, •pulling on
bis gloves, 'of c urse, it isn't for me or
®ny oue else to interfere in family mat
tors. £ut your granchild is left totally
unprovided for, sir.'
* 'lcannot help that,' said the Judge,
frigidly. 'Eight years ago I ollcred to
support the child, and her father, too, if
be would only cctisout to leave that out*
landish foreign wife of his. He married
her agaiiut my will—he. clung to her
against my will. Let him abide by his
f decision!'
'lt is only natural, Judge, that a man

'Have you 6een him, Doctor—my

Dr. Hooper nodded.
'lt's of no use though,' said he. 'Th?
old man has a heart like grauite; and
girl, your cousin, of cast iron,'
'lie will not take me?'
'No!'
Hilda set her lips together.
•Well', said sho, 'I must manage to
provide lor myself.'
•N-n hurry lass, no hurry,' said the
kindly little doctor. 'Go tell my wife to
bring mo a cup ol hot coflee before Igo
out again?
'Hilda.' lie said presently as he sat*
toasting his feet hcloro the Are, with his
wife knitting opposite,-and Judge Har
risons grand daughter leaning against
the window, and looking out into
stormy daPkness, 'what aro you going
to do?'
'I don't think I quito know' Doctor.'
'You aro sixteen?'
'Sixteen and a half, sir.'
you cannot teach?'
**Oh, dear. 110, sir,' Hilda shook her
head decidedly. 'I had 110 chance for
much education, traveling about as 1
diil.'
'Nor sow?' -
'Not well enough to adopt it as a pro
fession.'
'Then for all I can Ree, there ia noth
ing left but to go into domestic ser
vice.*
'1 would take a placo to-morrow, Doc
tor; if 1 could get a good homo and de
cent wages,' said Hilda quickly.
'Good.' said Dr. Hooper. 'That is the
right spirit, child! I don't fear but what
you'll muko your way in one direction'or
another. But I think I can see some
thing a little moro promising ahead for
you than that.'
'What is it doctor?'
• 'I noticed the way you took care of
your poor father, Hilda, in his last ill
ness. I thought th%n that you would
make a good nurse—l think so now.
There is an opening iu St. Fraucesca's
Hospital. A good home and a dollar a
day.
'As nurse, doctor?'
'As liprso.'
•And I should Fee you sometimes?'
'Frequently-twice a week at least.'
Hilda pondered a second er two and
then came forward with glistening oyes
and red lips apart.
'Doctor,' she said, 'I will fry it.'
And 60 Clement Harrison's grand
daughter donned a little muslin cap,
print dress ami a white ruffled apron of
the St. Francesca corps of nurses, and
set diligently to work, carbing her own
living.
A year had passed by. and Dr. Wals
lace hail sent word that a nurse was want
ed for a small pox case in the city. The
Sister Superior of the St. Fiaucesca's
looked dubiously at her women.
'Who will go?' said she—and Hilda
Harrison stepped forward.
'I will/ said she, 'I have 110 fears of the
contagion, aud I want to add to my ex*
perience.'
So little Ililda packed her ba£ and
went.
The housekeeper of,the great Fifth
Avenue Palace was ringing her hands,
half tcrrifiod out of her senses; the other
servants had taken precipitate leave.
'And Miss Lenox wont this moruiug,'
said she. 'I should think she might have
stayed!' .. «
'Who is Miss Lcuox,' questioned iunor
cent Hilda.
•The old gentleman's grand danghter
that he has brought up and petted like
a cosset lamb,' said Mrs. Hurst. 'Oh,
the ingratitude of some folks. And if
Judge Harrison dies—'
Hilda looked up quickly from the bot
tles of carbolic acid she was unpacking.
'ls this Julge Harrison's house!' she
asked.
' Why of coarse It is,* answered Mrs.
Hurst. 'Didn't you know ?'
•No, I did not know,' Hilda said. 'Bui
of course it makes no difference whose
hou*) it is.'
'Who are you?' Judge Harrison asked
hoarsely, as the light foot crossed the
threshold.
'I am the nurse from St. Fraucesca's;
they called mo Hilda.'
'Hilda what?'
'Never mind my other Dame,' said the
young girl, with a gentle authority that
had come !o her from months ot practice
at weary sick beds. 'They call me Hilda
—and you are not to excite yourself.'
'Do you know von arc running a great
risk?'
'it is my business to run risks.'
I'bree weeks elapsed. Tbo crisis oi the
disease had passed; the did man weaken
ed indeed, and sadly disfigured was able
once more to sit up in bis easy chair, and
Hilda who bad wat ,>bcd over him with a

vigilance and tenderness which he fully
appreciated, was arranging fresh flowers
in a vase on the table.
'Hilda,' said he slowly, 'where has
my grand-daughter Marian been all this
time?'
•She went away, sir, when you wore
first taken ill. She was alraid ol thedis
o.i so.'
'And left me?'
'And lelt you.'
'There ,vas gratitude!' ho muttered
hoarsely. 'And when is the coining
back ?'
Hilda laid down her roses, and looked
with pathetic feeling eyes at him.
'She will not come at all,'. she ans*
wcrcd. '\\ r c dared not tell you before
bntr-rher flight was iu vain. She died of
6ma!l pox last week.'
The old man turned away with a
smothering groan.
•Hilda.' said lie, 'will you stay with
me? You will not leave me alone! Nay,
do not speak. ( 1 know who you are. 1
recognized your name when you first
came. You have looked.at me with your
father's eyes many a time since. Hilda,
I think God has sent you to me.'
'Oh, grandpa!' and Hilda knelt weep
ing, beside his chair, scarcely able to be
lieve that his loving arms wcro around
her neck, his tears dropping ou her brow.
-Oh, dear, dear grandpapa! I have so
longed tor some one to love—lor some
one to love me.'
And good littlo Dr. Hooper was well
satisfied with tho result of Hilda's cxpes
riineut of earniug her living.
'Heaven manages theno things better
than we do,' thought he as he remember
ed his attempt at Harrison's flinty heart
more than a year before.

Alabama has not gained anything in
the strength of her representation in the
Senate since Speucer, the famous carpet
bugger, retired. He was a young, act
ive aud popular fellow, who could secure
favors for his State where others failed.
Siuco Spencer lelt the Senate ho has been
engageu in mining, aud lam told that
he recently cleared a clean half a million
dollars in the sale of a Utah uiino. 1
would not be surprised to see hiin turn
up soon as a delegate iu Congress from
one of the Territories. I remember talk
ing with him 011 the day his term expired.
Said he: 'I am glad to get out ot politics
for a while at least. lam now going to
devote my >imc to making inouey, and 1
am going io*succeed. too, aud iu loss
than live years you will fcee me back as a
memberof ouo or tho other of those
wings ot the capitol.' Spencer is not
over forty lour years of ago.
The fact is, tho majority ot what were
cnlled the curpet-bag Senators have been
pros pel ing siuco they ceased to bo Sena
tors. Dorsoy, of Arkansas, who is only
fifty years old, inadc a quarter of a mil*
lion dollars iu Kansas Pacific slock when
tho road was purchased by Jav Gould.
This money he put into a cuttle ranch in
N nv Mexici, covering tlious
acres of land. Dorsey is also interested
in several of tho Leadville mines, aud
his friends say ho will be worth millions
before long. Ho is now at his home at
the Hot Springs in Arkansas, fixing up
a delegation from that State to the Chic
ago convention tor Grant. Mark my
word for it, Dorsoy will bo in Congress
again betore many days shall have come
and gone. Dorsey says that he would
just tor the fun ot the thing, like to come
back here, simply to annoy some of the
fellows who hounded him when he wa
down.
Clayton, who was Dorscy's colleague
i 1 the Senate; is prospering, bcii.g the
owner of oue ot 1110 largest cotton plau
atious iu Arkansas. 1 saw him the oth
er day, and he told~me that the day is hot
far distant when tho Republicans ivill
again be in control iu Arkansas, lie

nation the Sta'.e would surely go Repub

Ex-Senator Patterson, of South Caro
lina, is now living in Baltimore, the pres
ident of a.street railway company, in
which Don Cameron has a large pecuni
ary interest. Patterson tells me that the
load is paying handsomely, and that he
is in a fair way ot recovering the fortune
he lost iu iuvestiug in South Caioliua
securities.

Buggs was arraigned before Justice
Oarv, of Carson, i'ecent|y, charged with
grand larceny. The charge made by the
arresting oflicer was that a tombstone
had I'een'&toleO by tho defendant from
the comtftery. It appears, Biiys the
appeal, tint the officer was pissing
near tho consecrated spot at n'glit, wheu
he fa>v Bogus sta'jgeriog along with
it tombstone on his back.
The tombstone was exhibited to the
jury. It read.*
"riacred to the memory of W. Hogg
ftone, Died Jan., 3, IBOG. A kind
father, an indulgent linnband, and a true
man. IliquicticcU inpaM."
Hoggs, the defendant, went on the
stand, ami ackuoyvledgi-d frankly that lie
had taken the tombstone. It WHS SO
near like Ins own name that, by tilling
up the superfl'iOus letters with pluhter
ot i'uii.H, he could-uso it Liiutsttlf in case
ho died.
Yne Court—You have the appwranCb
of being a pretty hoaithy man. Why uo
you expect to die?
Buggs— 1 'ni going to Bodie to start iu
business and—
H.o Court—Oh, I see; tho pneumonia
I "it, even if you do die, as 1 havo 110
doul't you willj why do you steel anoth
er man's tombstone? Do you really
think it is the-correct thing?
Boggs—lt a man has had the uso of a
tombstone since lfc&G, it strikes me he's
got his money's worth. Be-ddes, this
stone was blasted lie all over. 'Bill
Boggstoue wasn't a kind husband and an
indulgent father. He wa3 a thieving
three-card inonte sharp, and killed four
men. A meaner scalawag never was
born. Wh n lie first came out hero in
'49, he used to shave off coraors of ((50
slugs, and pay off his hauds iu old bills
011 the Farmers Bank of Now^llavcn.
"We know hiti^",cried several of the
jury: he was the worst in the deck"
One of the jurors went on" tho stand,
and testified tiiat lie a,iw the man run
out of i'lacerville iu '&2 CoV robbing heu
roosts. He turned a Widow out in a.
snow storm because she couldu't pay the
house rent. Several old timers in the
court room testified to the scampish
character of the deceased. One man
swore that the brother of Boggstoue put
the tombstoue up, and did it iu the
uiglit. It WHS a monumental lie and a
disgrace to the cemetery.
The jury acquitted, aud Mr. Boggs
left on tho stage for Bodi* with the
tombstone.

county in the western purt ot this Stuto,
a tew days past, a happy party assembled
to witness the marriage of a rural belle
to a nice young man. People gathored

the groom was so afilhtcd with mumps
as to bo uuablo to attend. She read iltu
note aloud, and then cast a hasty glance
over the proup of young attendants who
stood waiting near by. In a moment she
announced that tho peopl7 ; should uot be
