EAKIINU HER OWN IJVIKIG, It was a tempestuous night in Novera-. her. The carved Dutch clock in Judge Harrison's study had just si ruck nine. Judge Harrison himself, an austere looking, silver-haired men sat upright hi his chair, gazing coldly at his gnest. ' Well.'s»id Dr. Hooper, ♦pulling on WB gloves,'of course, it isn't for me or ®ny one else to interfere in family mat- tors, put your granchild is left totally Upprovidod for, sir.' *'l cannot help that,' said Ihe Judge, | frigidly. 'Eight years ago I offered to support the ehild, and her father, too, if $ he would only consent to leave that out' landish foreign wife of his. He married her against my will—he clung to licr | against my will. Let him abide by his decision!' Sj 'lt is only natural, Jadgo, that a man r should cleave uuto his wile,' ufged the Li doctor.

'Grauted —but as I have made my men- T"ey myself,,l feel thaj I have a right to spend it to suit mpself.' 'But HiMa is a fine girl;' pleaded Dr. Ilooper. •No doubt, no doubt; but you don me if I feel no great anxiety to see tlio eliild ol *he German singing w.- than who stole lieart liway from ' T-' Dr. Hooper hesitated.

Dr. Hooper nodded. •It's of no use though,' said 'Tli2 old man has a heart like granite; and that girl, your cousin, of cast iron,' 'lie will not take me?' 'No!' Hilda set her Hps together. •Well', said sho, 'I must manage to provide tor myself.* * 'No hurry lass. no hurry,' said the kindlj' little doctor. 'Go tell my wile to bring me a cup ot hot coflee before Igo out ngain.' 'Hilda.'he fiaid presently as he sat toßsting lite feet helore the Are, with his wife knitting opposite,'and Judge Har risons grand daughter leaning against the window, and looking out into the stormy darkness, 'what ar6 you going to do?' 'I don't think I qtillo know' Doctor.' 'You are sixleen?' 'Sixteen and a half;, sir.' you cannot teach?' ' Oh, dear, no, sir,' Hilda 6hook !:er head decidedly. 'I had no chance for much education, traveling about as 1 did.' 'Nor sew ?' 'Noi well enough to adopt it as a pro fession.' 'Then for all I can see, thero is noth ing left but to go into domestic sei"» vice.' 'I would take a placo to-morrow, Doc* tor; if 1 could got a good home and de» -cont wages,' said Hilda quickly. 'Good.' said Dr. Hooper. 'That is the right spirit, child! I don't fear but what you'll mako your way in one direciion'or another. But 1 think I can see some thing a little more 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 thonght thin that you would make a good nurse—l thiuk so now. Thero is an opening in St. Francesca's Hospital. A good home and a dollar a day. 'As nurse, doctor?' 'As nprso.' •And I should see you sometimes?' 'Frequently—twice a week at least.' Hilda pondered a second Or two and (hen came forward with glistening eyes and red lips apart. 'Doctor,' sho said, 'I will fry it.' And so Clement Harrison's grand - daughter donned a little muslin cap, print dress and a white ruffled apron of the St. Francesca corps of nurses, and set diligently to work, earhing her own living. A year had passed by. and Dr. Wals lace had sent word that a nurse was want ed for a small pox case in the city. The Sister Superior of the St. FrauCesca's looked dubiously at her women. 'Who will go?' said she—and Hilda Harrisou stepped forward. 1 will/ said she, 'I have no fears of the contagiou, and I want to add to my ex* perience.' So little Hilda packed lier bag and vrent. The housekeeper of _the great Fifth Avenue Palace was ringing her hands, hall terrjtiod out of her senses; the other servants had takon precipitate leave. 'And Miss Lenox wont this morning,' said she. 'I should think she might have stayed!' 'Who is Miss Lenox,' questioned inno cent Hilda. 'The old gentleman's grand daughter 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 tbe bot tles of carbolic acid she was unpacking. *ls this Judge Harrison's house!' she asked. 'Why of conrso it is,' answered Mrs. Hurst. 'Didn't you know ?' 'No, I did not know,' Hilda said. 'Bu( of course it makes no difloreuco whose house it is.' 'Who are you?' Judge Harrison asked hoarsely, as the light foot crossed the threshold. 'I am tho nurse from St. Francesca's; they called mo Uildt}.' 'Hilda what?' 'Never mind my other name,* said the young girl, with a gentle authority that had come to her from months ot practice at weary sick beds. 'They call me Hilda —and you are not to excite yourself.' 'Do you know you aro running a great risk?' " 'it is my business to run risks.' Three weeks elapsed. Tbo crisis of the disease had passed ; tbe did man weaken ed indeed, ami sadly disfigured wa? able once more to sit up in bis easy chair, and Hilda who bad watched over a GRAHAM, NO, WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 4 1880 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 ail this time?'. 'She went away, sir, when you wore first taken ill. Stie was afraid of thedis ©OSO.' 'And leFt me?* 'And lolt you.' 'There .van gratitude!' ho mattered hoarsely. 'And when is sho coming back?; Hilda laid down her roses, and looked With pathetic feeling eyes at him. 'She will not come at all,' she ans wered. 'We dared not tell you before but—her flight was iu vain. Sho died of small pox last week.' The old man turned awav with a smothering groan. 'Hilda/ said lie, 'will you 6tav with mo? You will not leave me alone! Nay, do not speak. 1 know who you arc. 1 recognized yo!tr name wlien 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 wero around her nock, his tears dropping on lurbrow. •Oh, dear, dear grandpapa! I hatfe so longed tor some one 10 love—lor some one to love me.' And good little Dr. Hooper was well satislied with the result of Hilda's expes runout of earning her living. 'Heaven manages these things better than we do,' thought he as he remember ed his attempt at Harrisou's flinty heart more than a year before. TIIB CHFJKT-KAG EX-SENATORS, IlowJ)lo«l«r Them aro Prospering 'iu Banket and More. [J. R. Young's Washington Letter to N.Y, Stai ] Alabama has uot gained anything in the strength of her representation in the Senate since Speucer, the famous carpet bagger, retired. He was a young, act ive aud popular fellow, who could secure tavurs for his State where others tailed. Since Spencer lelt the Senate ho has been engaged In mining, and i am told that he recently cleared a clean half a million dollars in the sale of a ' Utah mine. 1 would not be surprised to see him turn up soon as a delegate in Congress from one of the Terriiowes. I remember talk- ing with him on (he day bis term expired. Said he: 'I am glad to get out ot politics for a while at least. lam now going to devote my 'imo to making money, and 1 am going to succeed, too, and in less than live years you will see me back as a memberof ojto or (he other of those wings ot ihe capitol.' Spencer is not over forty lour years of age. Tbe fact is, tho majority ot what were called the carpetsbag Senatois have been prospering since they ceased to bo Soi>a«> tors. Dorsey, of Arkansas, who is only fifty years old, inadc a quarter of a mil* lion dollars in Kansas Pacific stock when the road was purchased by Jay Gould. This money he put into n cattle ranch in NJW Mexio, covering eighty-six tltous acres ot land. Dorsey is also interested in several of Iho Leudville mines, and his-friends say ho will be worth millions before long. He is now at his home at the Hot Springs in Arkansas, fixing tip a delegation from that State to the Chic> ago convention tor Grant. Mark my word for it, Dorsey will be in Congress again be I ore many days shall have come and gone. Dorsey say g that he would jnst tor the fun ot tbe thing, like to come back here, simply to annoy some of the fellows who bounded hiin when be was down. Clayton, who was Dorsey's colleague i i the Senate; is prospering, being the owner ot one ot mo largest cotton plan* ations in Arkansas. 1 saw him the oth er day, and he told me that the diry is not far distant when tho Republicans will again be in control in Arkansas. He B.id that in the event ot Grant's nomi nation the Stale would surely go .Repub lican. 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 road is paying handsomely, and that be is in a lair way ol recovering the fortune ho lost iu investing iu South Carolina securities. Sawyer, of South Carolina, and Conos ver, of Florida, have not been so fortu nate, The former is now a clerk in the treasury department, while the latter is a special agent in the service of Ihe same department,commissioned by John Sber uian with the purpose of having bim tlx the Florida dclegatej to the national con vention for him (Sherman.)

It appears, says the appeal, thnt the officer was pissing •irear tho consecrated spot at U'ght, wheu he paw Bogsp staggering along with a tombstone on his buck. The tombstone was exhibited to the jury. It read.,. "Sacred to the memory of W. l?ogg r-tone, Died Jan., 3, 18f)ti. A kind father, an husband, and a true man.

A meaner scalawag never was born. When lie first came out here in '49, ho used, to shuve off coraors of SSO slugs, and pay off his hands in old bills on the Farmers Bank of New Haven. "We know iiiiu," cried several of the jury: he was the Worst in the deck" One of the jurors went oh * the stand, and testified that he ifciw the man run out of Placerville in '52 foV robbing hen roosts. Ha turned a widow out in a snow Btorm because, she couldn't pay the house rent. ; Several old timers in the court room testified to the scampish character of llie deceased. One man swore that ijie brother of Boggstone put' the toaibstoue up, and, did it in the night. It was a monumental lie and a disgrace to the cemetery. The jury acquitted, and Mr. Boggs left on tho stage for Bodu with the tombstone. A WOMAN'S DETEKMW A "ON —IN a county in Hie western part oi this Stuto, a tew days past, a happy party assembled to witness U'O marriage of a rural belle to a nice young man.

She informed tho astonished clergyman that she was ready to marry at once. The lucky man of her choice was only too happy at the tarn aflitirs had taken, and looked very festive indeed. Another man took the newly choson one's place among the at tendants and the pair were. made one in a trice.
