And the lights from the Gothic windows Like shattered rainbows fell,

As through the porch pf a splendid church Crept little beggar Nell.

She saw a little casketBrought to the house of prayer ;

And a sorrowing band of the rich grand

u I think Frank understands that I think he’s did encmglf i f act for himself. T Eh, * myboy?” ........................

Frank nodded, and - stroked ' the place where the mustache was daily expected. Mrs. Thornton balanced her spoon upon the edge of her coffee-cup ; evidently she was far from pleased, and h ef hiisbhnd,' knowing it, avoided coming in collision, by talking over her to Frank.r *■ t • .

‘ ‘ Of course, Frank, neither your mother nor I approve of Crawford’s scrapes in - any way, and we expect you to 'keep-’ above them .”

“ I think I understand you, sir,” said Frank, rising.”

“ I think so ,” said Mrs. Thornton blandly. “ We don’t expect you to ring in: with that; set o ften ; but how'and then, in a neighbor­ly way, it’s quite another thing—”

“ Or until after election / ” said Frank, with a laugh and a wink, as he closed the door aftpr him. " u

Mr. Thornton colored slightly, but cover­ed his confusion with praise of his boy.

“ H e’s nobody’s fool, I tell you ! Beats all hop the young scamp gets hold of the quirks. Take a smart one to catch h im .” Then see­ing the cloud still on his w ife’s brow, Mr. Thornton said, mOre pacifyingly. ‘ ‘ Of course Mary, I don’t believe in young Crawford’s scrapes any more than you do, and if I did

j$iot know Frank had the good sense he has,!- yirould nofclet him go near that club. But I tell you, h e’s no ordinary boy—h e ’s got the head .of am an'on his shoulders,; mid is to* be trusted.”

“ I told you last night what I thought con cerning this matter, ” said Mrs. Thornton, rising with dignity. “ I did think then that, if for no other reason than to please me, you would forbidjFrauk^s jofoing^” y

‘ ‘ Forbid !’*xbu Talk aFth&tf^h ‘‘h e^ w as a child, to.- be t, tied. to pur apism strings !”

Mrs. Thorptqndurned ,tq tlie wiadpw, as though ^he she I said mqr^, |h emight be tempted to say too much. But Mr.Thornton did hot choose tb ’ s to p ; —nothing like inward prickings to get a man incensed.

“ I tell you, Mary>~ybrb Women know noth

A ragged child stole forward While every head was bowed ;

Through fragrant, snow-white flowers She saw a snow-white shroud,

And golden hair, and face most fair ;And she knelt and wept aloud.

Forth from among the mourners Came the father of the dead ;

l ie raised the little beggar,And wonderingljr, said :

“ What strange child weeps for her who sleeps^

With lillies rbund heF head ?

“ Why, Death has made a.blunder;God means my, heart shall be

Made sore enough by sorrow To feel for one like thee.

It is His will that though shoulds fill Her place. Child, come with me. ’ ’

“ And I say ” Mrs. Thornton, while her

nostrils dilated with compressed emotion, “ you have no right to make your boy a fool for carrying out .yeUr ends.”

“ Bah! I f Frabk can’t stand this much, better roll him ih cotton ! Frank’s got no more taste for brawls than I have ; but be knows a thing oytfwo, and he’s to-day as much interested jin m y election as I am. Beats all how cp$[paiiionable h e ’s getting to be. I wish you could look on all sides as lie does, Mary. Strange you can’t see what is for your own interest. I f I had been con­tent to settle do^ia as you seem to want me to, where would%r-e have been now ?”

“ We should ShsVe been free from these *contending w o rm s,” said his wife, qu ick ly ; the strain upon b ir was getting almost too much to be bora(|l

‘ ‘ I suppose yoirwish. you were back in the cottage, doing-your own work, ” retorted Mr. Thornton, sneerihgly, as he rose and threw himself into|an; eapy chair.; >It was too muclu; the i c ^ -of fhe vofce^jnbre thaii his words, broke |iie check Mrs. Thornton had placed upon fpbrself ; aud now she turn­ed to her husband^with a face which fairly blazed.

■Mwe are to fawn ahd_cringe to those spise, pocket our conscience, and seer our souls, away with it ! It is too great a p rice!I wash my hands free of it. I w ill'not sell my integrity to buy you votes.”

“ Who’s asked you to ?” said Mr. Thorn­ton hotly.

“ You! Not a day but you require my aid in your abominable work. My home is polluted by the breath o f men I long to spurn from m y dobr. But no, no, you cry.I am constantly ask ej to do this, and.to* re­frain from te fso m e one be offen­ded, and their Yoj^lpst. And now you en­courage ‘the q u ick 'sand of dissipation’, that you may thus gain a firmer foothold.^ My whole Soul cries out against fhis;;way Of d o in ^ and I infeato. .what I say/B ichard . I will not countenance* it longer.”

“ Have it as you lik e,” said Mr. Thornton, lighting his cigar. It was seldom he sm ok­ed in his w ife’s presence, but he was hard pushed now.

“ But you seem to take mighty easily to the fine things which my income surrounds you with ; and I rather guess you won’t ob­ject to a thicker slice when it qomes,” he said, with an attempt at a jocose shrug of his shoulders. This was always Mr. Thorn­ton’s way of turning off the point of a th ru st. which hurt—making a pretense he d idn't feel it. But at this very moment -was terri­bly chagrined that his wife persisted in thus laying bare his network of little wires.

“ We politicians, Mary, are not the only ones,” he continued, ^drawing very lightly at his cigar, “ wbo resort to little- strategics to get what we want. Now I ’ve not a particle of doubt but that Rev. Mr. Gaines thinks a good deal about preaching just that sort of a religion which will please the ones of his fiock who pay the best.”

“ Then go where you can hear the plain .gospel,” said his wife. “ But no you even make choice o f a church from policy. You get more votes there than wheii you attend the Second Church. Yes, from policy you change your church, your creed, y 6 ur style of living, your friends !* From ’ policy yon stretch your religion to coverall things, and your conscience so that there? is but a shadow of its forcfler self left I And/ not content with thiSj you even hold1 your boy • to the singeing flames !—”

‘ ‘ For heaven’s sake, Mary, • stop ! You a r e b e s i d e y o u r s e l f ! ' 1 : ^

“ You’re r ig h t!” said his w ife, drawing herself to her fall height—and what a w o­man she looked then ; ^ d ^ w ' l i k e sa pygmy the man down in the easy chair looked be­side her. ‘‘ 1 -mrn'Well nigh >besi’dd niysetf !*9 fact, father is all things ,to a ll m en ; when — seeing yotrtrrfni^le down- thb 'safeguards ivllli fiiio nno l o ’o r>no fLir>rr and wlfL annlliwe have ever trie.d to throw_ around our hoy.

and then murmuring, “ What is the kept on to her own room and wearily

threw herself into a chair. All the red had drifted from her cheeks now, and they were as white* as the hands pressed tight against her throbbing temples. She sat quiet until the closing of the outer door jarred the house, and then, throwing out her hands wildly; she exclaim ed.: “ We are as far apart as the two poles ! What hope is there of talking ourselves nearer together ? But oh ! my b e y ! m y boy !” —and then the tears came. How such women weep !

Night found Mrs. Thornton herself again, only more than usually quiet and subdued. This phase of his w ife’s character was new to Mr. Thornton, and it interested him, while at the same time, he felt a little un­certain as to what it portended. But there was nothing of the misused air about it, so rasping to a man. And so dinner wore away. Mr. Thornton drew a breath of re-, lief, that so much had been gotten over. As the husband and wife stood alone, after Frank had gone out, Mr. Thornton could not but notice bow young and girlish this quiet way made his wife seem, and he drew her gently to him. “ You are too good for such a fellow as I, Mary ! W hy don’t you throw me over?” “

“ Don’t talk so Richard,” she said with a half sob.

“ t wish weicould see things alike,” he said, stroking her hair. “ D on ’t you think you could look at things a little more as I .do if you tried ?”

<fN ever!” said his w ife quietly.“ Suppose then we m ust make the best of

it, ” lie said. Mr. Thornton’s heart seemed lightened of a heavy load which had clung to it all day. But the heart of Mary Thorn­ton was heavy. So much had she striven with her husband for that morning , 1 and so little had she gained. ' ' * * • • • * ' •

“ But, mother, I give you my word of hon or I will not touch another drop.”

“ You can not keep that promise, and go on that ride to-day, Oh, do stay at home, Frank!” Hdw beautiful she looked. How could he refuse her, loving her as he did ? Oh there were cords, coil upon coil,1 around him, drawing him lienee. The tears were raining dbwn his mother’s .cheeks now and falling unnoticed upon the rich folds of her

' silvery silk. . ' ,“ Well, mother, this shall be the last time.

The proper care of m oney is an aid to virtue. This is a reason why young gentle­m en and ladies should learn finance. Many temptations rise from one’s being driven in ­to a “ corner ” in pecuniary affairs. It is al ways easier to be honest, if one has cash to meet obligations ; and anybody can more certainly have cash for that purpose by knowing how to watch both the cash and the obligations. In fact, the best safeguard against bankrupcy by ambuscade, is to un­derstand and use the principles of account. If we offer the prayer. “ Lead us not in to temptation,” we ought to avoid running w il­fully into temptation in regard.to m-Dmising and pajung, and we ought not to b «C t^sfied to leave the young in ignorance njpon'. .mat­ters so closely related to conscience. We urge, then, that “ wisdonl is the principal th in g ; therefore get wisdom ; and with all tfiy getting, get understanding,” and remem her that a valuable part o f wisdbm and un­derstanding is the knowing how to managa m oney.

VSUS OF 1880

?us of 1880, the inmnera- Io£l of which is soon to be begun,

will be one of the most important ever taken, as well as the most system alic in its methods of enumeration. Hitherto the enumerator has been al­lowed a space of time, in many instan ces, of six months, now he will be compelled to have in completed in one month. The questions to be proposed will take in a wider range ©f subjects than hitherto, consquent- ly there will be greater need to make all possible preperations to make it complete in all points. An exchange says that the taking of the census will be “ a general skermish between the agents of the government and a large portion of the population.” This will result partly from a false understand ing of the enumerators purpose and partly sheer ignorance respecting the answers that should be given and no doubt, some will try to mislead and mistake their answers from a purely evil motive. We all know how diffi­cult itrwould be for any [one to give answer to some hundreds of quest­ions and not make some errors. How many farmers are there that keep an exact account of their business ? Few we think. From this class approxi­mate answers will be given. For those that would intentionaly mis­lead, there has been a law made im­posing severe penalties. The law covers those, that will not answer and those that give false answers intend­ing to mislead thereby.

We make an extract from the Al­bany Times bearing on the above subject: u As we have said, this preposed census will b«£of an unusu­ally comprehensive character, and the ©Uffiealtiafi ^each official will be cor­respondingly increased. Many of the questions asked will be obnoxious character to the unthinking and ig­norant. Some of these questions re­late to private matters, such as the amount of capital employed, the wa­ges paid, and the material produced. Many will regard these questions as interfering with private affairs; but when they consider that their answer will never appear as given, but will be lost in the grand totals of the cen­sus, they should answer without hes­itation. The object of the census is to show what progress the United States has made during the past ten years. Of what value will the census be if each man and woman does not answer truthfully ? As regards the question of population, the answer will bear directly upon our represen­tation in*congress. As regards our material advancement, they will aff­ect a number of questions about tax­ation, tariff, wages and domestic leg­islation. A truthful exhibit of Amer. iean wealth and enterprise is of the greatest individual and national im­portance. The intelligent people of coiintry will see all this, but they should instruct their ignorant neigh bors to give accurate answers to all questions, because small errors often repeated make great differences in totals. The result of the next census are looked forward to by thinking men with great anxiety, and may shape the future legislation of the country.”

—Secretary Sherman, has made a report of the operations of the Reve­nue Service in suppressing illicit dis­tilling, and the facts shown are rath­er startling; over 3,000 stills have been seized and destroyed and 6,153 persons have been arrested ; twenty five revenue officers were killed in making the arrests, and 40 were wounded. The peculiar part of the report is that all these arrests were made in the South, which goes to show that the South loves whiskv better than the laws * of the United States.

Chicago, May 3.—There was a remarka- blemortality among the hogs arriving to-day, in consequence of the hot weather and over crowding of cars.

The Billings murder trial still drags it weary length along. It made the old crimi­nal wince when his daughter was called to the stand to testify against him.

The daugh ter has no boubt of his being the real mur­derer of her mother.

Work on the new capitol is being progress ed rapidly and perceptibly. The sandstone columns in the corridors adjoining the new Senate chamber are in position, and much of the sandstone work of the corridor is fin­ished. The further use of sandstone is to be abandoned, and marble will be substitu­ted for it. The red granite columns for the Senate chamber have arrived, and have been hoisted to the Senate floor, where work men are engaged in preparing the bases and settings for them. The inside brick partit­ion walls are going up rapidly, and it is an assured fact that the Senate will hold its sessions, next winter, in its own cham­ber, on the State street side of the building. The old Capitol will certainly not stand lon­ger than this year, and it may possibly be taken down the coming fall. An Allegany county man yesterday assumed the position of time keeper on the works.—Argus.

When the train that left Albany at 5:45 last evening reached Peekskill, the engineer got doAin to do some oiling and discovered a fine heifer held fast on the cowcatcher. The engineer could not recall any shock or indication of collision with anything. The probability is that the heifer was caught be­tween Garrison’s and Peekskill, for several persons stood near when the train reached Garrison’s and there was ever chance of such an extraordinary appendage to the lo­comotive being observed, though the night was dark. Ehe animal was caught between the bumper and the fire box, her head twis­ted under the brace. She weighed about five hundred pounds and was probably two yeara old. She was alive, and considerable difficulty was found in extricating her. When gotten out she stood up for a moment and stupidly gazed about as though sudden­ly aroused from sleep, and then tumbled over. Conductor Hanford requested the watchman to have the animal killed. The conductor saidtbat in his twenty-five years’ experience in railroad he never heard of a similar incident.—Hudson Register.

Six steamers left New York on Saturday for Europe, loaded with passengers on pleas■ Aure trips. The same day 3,500 foreigners landed in the same city, to fiud new homes among us.

HAPPY CHILDREN.mHow to Make them So. Keep them

Health and They will Take care of the Rest.

The joy of every well-regulated household comes chiefly from the children. Thousands of affectionate parents do not take care of their children. ^Through ignorance more than through culpable neglect they suffer them to fall sick and die, when knowledge might have saved themcto love and home. Dr. David Kennedy offers his “ Favorite Remedy ” as emphatically a medicine for the children—gentle in its action, containing no harmful ingredients whatever, going straight to the Blood, which, when impure, is the seat and source of disease. “ Favor­ite Remedy ” is the friend of childhood and should be found in every nursery in the land. Keep it in your house for your children’s sake, as well as for your own. Try it and you will be glad you saw this article. Makeno mistakes. The medicine is “ Favorite Remedy ” and the proprietor ’s name and address: Dr. David Kennedy, Rondout, N. Y. One dollar a bottle.

RHEUMATISM.The cause of this torturing ailment is an

excess of Uric Acid in the blood. There are two forms of it—Acute or Inflammatory and Chronic—and, as it is liable in its ad­vanced stage to attack the heart, it cannot be regarded otherwise than as one of the most dangerous of maladies. The surest means of getting rid e£~this~&cid is by using an ALKALINE DISSOLYER. This can be done in no better way than by using DON­OVAN’S RHEUMATIC CURE, the only dissolrer of Uric Acid which exists in all Rheumatic patients. It not only offords temporary relief, but effects a p e r m a n e n t c u r e . It can be had of any druggist. It is an INTERNAL REMEDY, and sold at one dollar for a large 8 oz. bottle.

DONOVANS RHEUMATIC CURE.A sure cure for Rheumatism and Gout.

The pains of Neuralgia yield qnickly to its influence. This is an Internal Remedy act­ing directly upon the blood, and speedily eliminates from the system all forms of Chronic, Acute and Inflammatory Rheuma­tism. It was first prepared in 1860, since which time it has proven itself invaluable not only in alleviating but effecting a radical cure. To further prove the claims this arti cle has upon the public we could add certif­icates from many persons in this city, but space will not permit. Ask your druggist of persons who have been cured by its use.

It is a purely vegetable prepartion, hav­ing a delightful taste and smell. Sold by all druggists at one dollar a bottle (large 8 oz.) or sent to any address when ordered. Man­ufactured by the Donovan Rheumatic Cure Co., Kingston, N. Y.

The mammel was caught off Cape Cod some weeks ago, and was towed to New York. It is 65 feet in length, 45 feet in girth, aud weighed about 50 tons when killed. It is carried on a large scow covered with a tent. To prevent the noxious smell arising from decomposition, the carcass daily receives an injection of many gallons of a fluid mostly composed of carbolic acid and chloride of lime.

New Biographical Dictionary.—Promi­nent among the valuable features of the New Edition of Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary just issued, is the “ New Biographical Dic­tionary,” comprising about 10,000 names of ancient and modem persons of renown, in­cluding many now living. It gives us the pronunciation of these names, the national- ality, profession or occupation, date of birth and if known, the date of death of each per­son. From its conciseness and accuracy it supplies a want long felt in this direction, and adds very greatly to the Yalue of this al­ways valuable work.

—W. H. Rector, the accomplished artist, has opened a photographic parlor, one door north of the Murphy House, where those wishing perfect, and satisfactory photographs can be accommodated. I t is safe to say he is master of the art. and the best artist who understands his business, that has visited this section.

—Some stir, a little flutter, some skedad- ling, the past week, as the news got on the streets of our usually quiet village, that Of­ficer Brazee was out around with a batch of

| little invitations for certain citizens to ap- , pear before the Grand Jury, and tell what | they knew about the complaint against the , proprietor of the Murphy House, having violated the excise law.

Potters H o llo w Item s.

Bbainabd’s Musical World.—We have received the Musical World for May, 1880. This valuable musical journal is now in the seventeenth year of its existence and stands first and foremost among American musical periodicals. The present number contains five new songs and piano pieces and a new arrangement for violin and piano. Also a fine lithographic picture of Rossini. Besides these attractions we find sixteen pages of of musical news and miscellany, biographic­al sketches and items of news from all parts of the world. The IS /usieal World is invalu­able to all interestedTm musical matters; and the low price at which it is offered ($1.50 per year, or $1.60 with choice of five premi­ums) brings it within reach of alL Send fif­teen cents to S. Brainard’s sons,^ Cleveland, O., for specimen copy.

in the succeeding twenty years there was but one killed of more than six millions car­ried. If we recognize the further fact that more than ninety per cent, of the passen­gers killed, meet their death by their own recklessness or by their disregard of the rules of the railroad companies, we might say that a number . of passengers equaling the country’s population'are annually trans­ported over our roads without a fatal acci­dent that can be attributed to the fault of the railroad officials.

A sense of security on the part of the pas­senger, and the constant study of the rail­road official to invoke every possible aid to promote the safety and the comfort of pat­rons, make railroad travel a pleasure indeed. The newly invented air-brakes, tthe patent platforms and couplings, the improved meth ods of tie and rail laying, and the perfect system of signals, combine to produce this extraordinary absolution from accident or injury.

We are lead to these reflections from an intimate acquaintance with the workings of the best managed roads in the United States ■—the Chicago and Northwestern, whose op­erations extend from Chicago to the British Possessions, and whose branches permeate every considerable point of traffic through­out the great Northwest, and even to the Pacific coast. No ordinary mind can master the details of operating a huge corpora­tion like this, whose hundreds of trains, pas­sengers and freight arrive and depart with the regularity of the clock ; whose millions of passengers are transported, each with the self-assurance of a speedy, a safe and a com­fortable transit; whose officials without ex­ception are men of long experience and ex­cellent judgment in all things pertaining to the business in hand. There is* not in all this a company which maintains a better corps of conductors, many of whom the traveling public have met for twenty years past, and all of them gentlemen in the strict est sense of the term.

To the management is solely due the gen­eral excellence of this great highway, and we are glad to know that the vast business which the company is now doing, indicates the public appreciation of the efforts of these gentlemen to serve them. *

—■" J. ' .i-"-- i ...... .How to deal w ith Rats*—

We clear of out premises of these detest­able vermin, writes a correspondent of the Scientific American by making whitewash yellow with copperas and covering the stones and rafters in the cellar with it. In every crevice where a rat may tread, we put the crystals 6f the copperas, and scatter the same in the comers of the floor. The result was a perfect stampede of rats and mice. Siuce that time not a footfall of either rats or mice has been heard about the house. Ev­ery Spring a coat of yellow wash is given the cellar, as a purifier, as a rat exterminator ; and no typhoid, dysentary, or fever attacks the family. . Many persons deliberately at­tract all the rats in the neighborhood by leaving fruits and vegetables uncovered in

i the cellar, and sometimes even the soup is j left open for their regalement. Cover up everything eatable in the cellar and pantry, and you will soon have them out.

That weary step, languid eye and feeling of general lassitude, come from “ spring sickness. ” Be assured, a se­rious and perhaps fatal disease is close in its wake. The system wants cleansing of winter impurities; the sluggish blood needs to be sent in swift and clear currents throu’ the veins.

High Priced B utteb.—Dairymen often wonder how iiieir more favored competitors p*et such high prices for their butter the year round. It is by always having a uni­form gilt edged article. To put the “ gilt edge ’’ on, when pastures do not do it, they use Wells, Richardson & Co’s Perfected But­ter Color. Every butter maker can do the same. Sold everywhere and warranted as harmless as salt, and perfect in operation.
