; heavy sigh where one expects
i"4?5?' -
! Tsf an exclamation or pleasure
and admiration ; eo it was not wen.
derful that Mrs. Austin, under th e
exact conditions, looked auxicusiv
into her husaud's face. She was
holding up for his inspection a
large wax doll, one of the treasures
tor Madge, tha blue-eyed darling
of four vear, who w& counting; the
days until Santa Clause should
come. Every stitch of" Miss DollieV
elaborate costume whn thb work of
Mr8. Ausr.iu's busy ringers in hoars
when Madge was dreaming of lull
stockings and Christmas trees, and
the last stitch set, the result wa?
displayed lor "papa's approval.
Now papa was quite as devoted a
parent to Madge and twoyear-old
Harold as mamma, aud took' deep
iutertst in all nursery matters. It
may be that the memory of twt
other curly head and baby face
that had brightened the nursery for
a few brief months had then been
hidden by coffin-lids deepened the
ove for the children who came late
Lo comfort the aching hearts. But
it is very certaiu that tbo little
Austins ware as much loved aud
petted as children could be, and did
not dream more hopefully of Christ
mas treasurers than their parents
did lovingly of supplying them.
So it was with some alarm, too,
that Mr. Austin put aside her last
triumph of needlework aud threw
her arm around her husband's neck.
"What is it, Chailie?" she asked.
lie drew her into a loving euK
brace before he said, sadly :
"I met my father again to-day.
Margaret, it will kill me to have
things go ou so. He was down
right sbabby, leeble aud broken :
looking so old and so sick that 1
could not keep the tears out of my
eves. But he vould uot speak to
me. I said all I coald t-ay in the
atreet,and tried to follow him home;
but he stopped short, and said :
I do not know .you sir 1 You wilj
cease to aunoy me!' And I could
not mike a scene in the street!"
There was a chokiag souud in
Charles Austin's voice as he ceased
speaking, but being a man, be kept
back the sobs that would bave fol
lowed. Mrs. Austins' tears were
falliag fat.
"At Christmas time too." she said-
"It is useless to send presents,
Charlie ; he has sent them back
every year."
The story this conversation referred
to was an old one, a true love mar
riage made in the face of disinheri
tance aud paternal displeasure. Mrs
Austin had beeu a poor girl, em
ployed .in the factory of Simon
Austin, theu a man of great wealth
and good social position ; a man
purse-pouud, arrogaut, aud full of
his own importance. When his only
child, his idolized indulged son and
heir, told him of his love for pretty
Margraet Hay, a factory.girl, living
iu the factory board ng house, wear
mg calico dresses, and earning a
mere Kving, the old mau was a
maniac in his ury.
He would not see that the girl
was pleasing in manner, refined in
taste, well educated and sweet
tempered, one to brighten any
borne, and make any good mau
thoroughly happy. He grfve a
flerce command that the matter
should end then and there. Charles
Austin, utterly unaccustomed to be
erosfled in any fancy, refused ober
dience, never before exacted, and
the conversation ended in a stormy
quarrel and the young man's expul
sion from home-
But with a good fortune that does
not often follow disobedieot sons.
Charles was at once taken into the
employ and favor of his mother's
brother, an eccentric old bachelor,
who gave the young couple a home
in bis own luxurious house. It was
a new life to the old geutleman aud
he toot the keenest iuterest in all
the household affairs as Margaret
managed them, loved and mourned
the older children, and dying, when
AMadg6 was bat a year old, left his
entire large estate to his "beloved
nephew, Charles Austin."
And while the sanshiae of pros
perity had da clouds for this way,
ward son, the father's fortunes had
pone awry. Some commercial panic
was the first to blow to Siuo Aus
tin,, atd an effort to repair the loss
by speculation only added to disasN
:r. He missed the cool, clear head
f t?e son wbo h;id of lats years
e-i his active partner, the judg
ment he- had first trained and then
Trusted to guide his large buaisess.
He was angry, and bis impulses let?.
iiim into dira blunders until he grew
ho invoiveu, mar. mere was no ea-
ctpe, and he failed for more than
jis entire fortune.
At ouce Charles hastened to Uim,
offering his eutire wealth to save
iiim, only to be met by a proud,
rluce refusal to be under an obli
gatiou to a dishonest child or his
eggar-wife.
Over aud over again, as proverty
leorne more and more bitter to the
mau bioken and aged, did his son
t.uplore him to allow him to help
im, offer him a home, love, care,
obedience even, obly to be thrown
back with aogry scorn.
A proud man always, Simon Aus-
iu cherished his wrath as the last
remnant of the old arrogance, and
would not beud oue inch. Hp
found letters telling him anonymous
iums of money were in the bank iu
bis name, and wrote back refusing
to claim them. He mistrusted
every offer of service, as dictated
oy his son, and returned to Ckarles
overy scrap ot aid sent to him, often
perplexing his sou by sending what
had not come from him, though he
always refused to believe this.
And being old and broken in
health, he sauk lower aud lower,
uuable to fill lucrative positions, and
takiug the work that gave him
barely food and the poorest cloth
ing. Very sadly the son and his wife
talked of the impossibilities of help
ing oue who would not let any ap
peal touch him, until suddenly
Margaret sued :
Charles! I have an idea! -Let me
try to wiu your father over. I will
Send him a Christmas card.''
"My, dear, he would not open the
envelope."
"But it will not go in au envelop0.
Don't ask any questions. Let me
bave my own way, dear."
"Did you ever fail to get that?"
was the laughing query, for some
taing iu his wife'a face gave a fresh
hope to Charles Austin's heart.
It was a very mean room in a
very poor house where the sun of a
bright Christmas morning wakened
Simou Austin. Everything in the
shabby i-lace told of the lack of
woman's care and love. Dust hung
upou every thing, disorder reigned.
There were no dainty trifles of
needlework; the curtains were diu
gy and crooked; the carpet tern and
dirty,
Very wearily aud slowly the old
man dressed himself, lit a fire in
tbe grate and rang for the poor
breakfast his landlady provided.
Dinner and tea he was supposed to
buy outside, but very often this
muddy coffee, stale bread and tough
chop or steak were the sole repast
of the twenty-four hours.
It wan Christmas Day, and no
busiuess took the old man abroad ;
so, after tbe uutempting tray was
removed, he took a newspaper and
drew shiveringly to the fire. But
befora he had read one column
there came a knock upou tbe door,
aud then it opened wide and closed
again behind a child a little girl
in a quaint Mother-Hub bard cloak
and hat, with large blue eyes and
clustering golden earls, and holdiag
a large fat basket full of fiesh,
beautiful flowers. While the old
man gazed at 1 er in silent amaze
ment, she said, in a sweet, childish
voice :
"If you please, dear grandpapa, I
am your Christmas card!"
"You you are what ? " he said,
utterly bewildered.
"If you please, dear grandpapa, I
am your Christmas card V
"Who sent you here ? What is
your name?"
"Mamma brought me here! I am
Madge Austin, dear graudpapa "
ind then, half frighteued at the
strange face and the poor room, the
child eyei filled and her lips treai.
bled. "I want to go home !" she
whispered.
f'Don't cry !" Mr. Austin said,
finding his senses, aud taking her
!nto hit arms, very teudecly, too.
"Don't cry, dear, I will taka you
ho me."
"Oh, if you please, because my
big doll is there ami all tbe toys
Suta Clause brought, aud brother
Jlarry. What did Santa Clause
urinsr you V'
"Noihing!"
"Oh !" with a very deep.drawn
eigb, "was it because you ar up ho
raau.y stairs? But he always comes
t our house, and mammi said,per
hapf, todaj', he would bring us our
grandpapa ! We haven't got anj
now, j ou know, ajd mamma said if
he did com, we would love him
just the varne as papa, and he would
love us. Aud please, grandpapa,
so we will.'' And here the child
put ber little arms arouud the head
bout low before her, and lifted tbe
face quivering and teanstained.
"Oh, dou't cry I On, please, nieu
don't eiy: only naughty girls a;id
bry.s ! Oh !" and again the terror
found voice iu the plea: "I want
to go home P
"Yes, yes ! I will fake you home
Bring your flowers, child. This is
no place for flowers or or Christs
mas cards !"
Down the crazy old stairs tbe old
mau Jed the child, tenderly watch
ful that the little feet did not slip
nor stumble. Through tbe sunny
streets, uubeediug the cold, she
walked beside bim, prattling of her
homeaDd the dear graudpapa that
she had been taugbt to love.
That was the crowning amaze
ment. No child iu a few short
hours could bave been taught to
talk of the estranged parent as this
child talked. Sb told the old man
ot tbe prayer she said night and
morning, "Please dear JLoid, send
my giaudpapa home !" of tbe talks
with ber molherabout this unknown
relative whom she was to reverence
and love.suoukl he ever come home,
opening to the hardened but, oh,
such a lonely heart a hope of rest
and affection, that he felt it would
be bitter as death to thrust it aside
now.
Trere was no need to pull the
doornbell of the stately mansion to
which Simon Austin led bis grand
child. Eager hands were waiting
to open its portals wide; eager 6ycs
were watching lor tbe comiug of the
pair. Tender arms and strong bauds
led Simon Austin into the parlor;
Margaret's kisses fell warm and
caressing upou his wrinkled cheeks;
Chailie's hands removed the shabb3
overcoat; baby Harold clung to his
knees, shonting:
"Daudpa's turn ! Santa Tlause
oriuged dandpa !"
There was no pride could stand
against lifeloviug, sincere welcome,
so pride collasped.
"You really want me Charlie'?"
the old man faltered. "It is not
mere charity !"
"Hush !'' whispered Margaret.
'Do uot grieve bira by such a word.
He will never be happy until you
come home dear father."
And so Christmas once again
gathered up the tangled threads ot
estrangement and knit them into
strong bands of home-dove.
Secular Papers.
The political papers of the day
are too purely political too seen
lar. They should contaiu a consid
erable amount of family readiog ;
they should be high in moral tone,
taking au honorable stand on tem
perance and morality generally.
They should always speak favorably
of the Bible, of the Sabbath, of the
ministry, of tbe church, and of re
ligion generally. They should not
be allies of the ball-room or bar
room ; tbey should not advertise
liquor shops ; they should always
speak m condemnation of gambling
in all its forms, whether at tbo card
table, at the horse races, or on Wall

Iudlnu Affairs.
Washington-, Dec: 3, 1890. "I
look upon the policy wnich has been
pursued in tho administration of
our Indian affairs as a crime, revolt
j ing to man aud God."
ibis bold utterance was made
upon the flor of the Seaate to-day
benitor Voorhees, of Iud;aua. The
scenQ was a dramatic one. The
"Tail Sycamore of tbe Wybiab''
stood in the aisle near his desk,
with arm outstretched, and in a
voice that trembled with suppieseu
emotion, yet that thundered through
tbe Senate ehambr, he soorel, in
terms of intense bitterness, the ad
ministration for its ilealinps with
tfie Sioux Indians. As he corns
Felice 1 to speak be liveted tbe at
tention of every Senator iu the
c'-auibe . uid wiim the l.ii word
fell irouj b s llpi tbe silence that
prevailed was oppressive.
It was during the c 's:de"utiou
of a lesolutiou which hl beti of
ft5 ed by Senator Man lersou an fli
er zing Ihe Secretary of Wr to is-
sne to the Governors of North and
South Dakota 8nd Nebraska each a
thousand stands of rifles aud fifty
taousaud rounds of ball cartridges
to be by the Governors distributed
1 1 the citizeus and militia for pro
tection against the Indians.
Beiore a vote waa tak n Seuator
V.'?ot hees arose aud said :
"I shall not oppose the pass.ige
of this resolution aud I shall net
vjte against the issuauce of thete
aims to the people, but I cauivot let
i pass with the feelings I nl-ita.n
in legard to the ad mini; rat ion o:
our Indiau afftirs without a word.
"If the proposition were to issue
100,000 rations and more to the
starving Indians it would be more
coasistent with Christian civiliza
tion thau the policy we're now pur
suing.
"When a major general of the
War Department is publicly inter
viewed aud publishes that the Indi
ans are diiveu into revolt rebel
Won, if you please to call it and to
the savagery of an Iudian warfare
l y starvation, it becomes an lutx
piable crime in my judgment on he
part of this government to stand by
and do uutuiug except to furnish
anus.
"General Miles has stated to the
public, aud to me beiore he did to
tho public, that these Irdiaus are
b.'ing starved into hostility, and
that they prefer to die righting 10
bing starved to death.
"I look upon the pjl:cy which
has been pursued by the adminis
tration of Indian affairs as a cum
revoltmg to mau and God. I look
upon the present outbreak or the
threatened outbreak which wil
triug not merely tbe deftruction ot
tuo Indians, tut will bathe the
saows ot the Northwest crirron
v-ith the blood of our own b'ave
soldiers and ofliceis as something
revolting in the extreme, a'id that
instead of sitting here debating
Eiect o'i bills and Foro bills, nd
providing for the insuauco of arms
to tbe States in the Norm west, we
should bj burr:, ing, auxiousiy ind
eagerly, to provide for the feeding
of these Btarving people.
'Genera' Mi'ei says they 5-ave
been hungry tor the Jasttw ye?rs !
That they are devoured with bun
$ er, wretched and perfectly deeper
tte, aud would iatberdie with arm
in ther hands tuau with empty
stomachs.
"They have no newspapers. Their
privations and griefs and suffer iug
cannot be mde kuowu. Tbey bave
b jf n saffering in silence there for
ye&rs, while guilt is somewhere.
"There is a bloodguiltiness orjae
w'aexe on this subject and I had in
tended to introduce a resolution
caliiug for au investigation, but rrn
deterred out of respect for ihe Cou
ruittee on Indian affairs.
"Yet, sir, there is a bloodgui'ti
uess that will bave to be answered
for in the starvation of these people
into hostility a hostility which I
have said will cost not mere'y the
lives of the ludians, but w II cost
the lives of thousands ol American
citizens and American soldiers.
"A condition of things has been
brought about by a niggardly aud
parsimonious or a dishonest policy
I know not which that jeopard
Izes the whole Northwest and caus
es a soldier like Geneial Miles, with
a grave and serious aspect, to speak
of the situation in terms of the
greatest possible apprehension.
"Why sit we here idle," thunder
ed the speaker, shaking his long
forefinger at the representatives of
the administration, "when we know
that by sending food to the people
tbey will drop their ghost daua .
They are dancing the d iuceofatar
vatiou and desperatiou. While I
am willing that this resolution stall
pas and that the white people aha'.l
arm themselves for protection
against the impolicy of the govern
ment, I repeat there is a crime in
the poiicy of tbi- governmout tow
ard tho-e Indians somewhere nhat
somebody ouht to answer for, aud
with tbe utmost severity aud swift
ness. "I am glad my skirts are clear of
a'.v blood that will be shed growing
out of si rani y a starvation policy, a
policy of iniquity and crime against
the I-.dians : a policy that has been
pursued to lake their Undsand not-
even pay t hem enough to keep them
from starviug to death when they
have been dispossessed of their
homvs."
This speech 'Teai.. d a sensation.
By the time the Senator bad con
cluded his lemarks Senators ind
come in from committee and cloak
rooms, and all gave interested at
tention. As Seuator Voorbeessat
dawn Senator Hawiey took the floor.
Senator Uawley is the republican
chnrman of the Co iimittee ou Mil-,
itary Affairs and lie had favored
the resolution. Senator Uawley ic
knowledged tne wisdom and justice
ot SeuatoT Vooibee' remarks and
called upon Senator Dawot, the
chairman of the Committee ou In
dian Affairs, to give an explanation
ot the policy toward the Sioux In
diaus, and the latter branched out
int j a lengthy iccital of tbe work
ings of the Indian Bureau.
After Senator fierce had spokn
and Senator Vooruees supplement

ariiYed, and the resolution went
