I’rctty Mary Uilkins was wailing to see her lover down at the garden gate, llieir usual tfysling place. The Bmil- ing light faded from her eyes as she noticed his sober, mseomfited look. ‘Ruther means well,’ slie said, as Luke told iier the result of his appli cation. ‘And I'm not sure but lie's iibout right, for it seems to me that ev ery mao, rich or poor, ought to have some occupation.’ Then, as she noticed Iter lover's grave look,-slie said, softly: ‘Never mind, I'll wait 'for yon, Luke.’ Luke .Iordan suddenly disappeared from liiSTU'cnstomed haunts, much to the surprise of his gay associates.— But w herever ho went lie carried with him those words which were like a tow er of strength to his soul; ‘I'll wait lor you, Luke.’ One pleasant, sunshiny morning, late In October, as I'anner llilkiiis was prop ping up the grape-vine ill Ins front yard, that threatened to break down witli tho weight of his luxurious bur den, a neat looking curt drove up, from which I.uke Jordan alighted with a quick elastic step, quite in contrast with his fOjtnerly easy, leisurely move ments. “Good morning, Mr. Bitkins.'

Mr. Bilkins examined them one by one. ‘They’ll do,’ he said coolly, as lie set down the last 01 the lot. 'What will you take for them ?’ ‘What I asked you for six months ago to-day—your daughter, sir.’ , Tito roguish twinkle in the old man’s eyes broadened into at smile. ■ ‘Y'Ou’ve got tlie right inelal in yoii, after all,’ he cried., ‘Como in lad— ijkjng to you,! the present Congress to repeal tlie ton ’ll 10 : Go to urc o'-ltllce'act, so that his hands inii,V iKnalluli Hiuiuuhxo will be (lioieuzlily in- Ititfilefl, unit WMSKiiitmt syalt'malieully, to ■ intention of the learner.

The old man regarded his daughter for a moment witll a quizzical look; ‘Moll, this young man—mayhap you’ve seen him before—has brought mo a lot of tubs and barrels, all of his own make—a right good article, tpo.

Destitution in New York It is estimated that no less limn two hun dred, thousand persons arc now resid- ing in Npw York city who have no work, no real lioules, at;d no moans which insure them a livelihood. Some of them.beg or steal outright; but a large number eke out a miserable ex istenco by running into debt for lodg ing and board, or by borrowing front week to week of whomsoever will lend them, or by quartering themselves on reluctant relatives or friends. Tlie re sult is reported to he an aggregate of want, squalor, misery and degrallon fearful to contemplate. Awful.—The Nashville Press and Times recently contained a “hellish Kuklux outrage.” It states how a ne gro in Haywood county, Teunessee (a Radical region,) was hung nnd drawn and quartered and roosted “by a slow fire for doing nothing.” A ftcr tho ne gro was well spitted uud turned, tho Kukluxes out him lip nnd ate him willi Worcester sauce, which they manufac ture out of mustard, powder, blood, nnd brimstone.

Highland Suspension Bmtos One of the grandest of modern enter prises Is about lo be c nntnenced in tho State of Now York. Work will speed ily bo begun for the suspension of a bridgo across tlie Hudson river, be tween “ Anthony's Nose,” on tho line between tho counties, of.

The rmite of the Eric and New Eng land railroad, from Turner’s to Derby, in the State of Connecticut, vin the bridge, lessens tiio distance from tiio Erie railway to Boston, compared with any existing or proposed route, from twenty-five to thirty-five miles. A Sad Picture of Human Suffering. Yust'eyduy morning Coroner Dick Moore was called upon lo hold at; in quest upon liio body of a woman uam- ud Catharine Samples, nnd was direct cd to go lo n house on tho Cnua Hun road, about eight miles from the city, where the body of tho deceased was reported to be. Promptly answering tlie summons, the Coroner at Once leit. town by tiio Cano Run road, and,-fol lowing tiio instructions given him, nt length nrriyod at his destination. The house proved to be a little log cabin, perhaps sixteen feet square, aud stood back some dislanco from the .road.— The sight that met tho eyes of Mr. Mooro us he stepped into the cabin was ono Bitch its few. men fiver looked upon. Such .TscciR'ofdquatid wrefeii- ediioss, of filth and famine,,of woe un utterable, lie at least had never before been called upon lo witness. Croucli- ovur a few smouldering sticks of wood sut a helpless old man, striving to draw a litt'u warmth from liio half-' burned pieces, *hilo about him were a number of ragged, dirty aud neglect ed children. This old man was Wil liam Samples.

It makes one a slave, alijeot and humble to’the loved ono—over seeking to plensc, con tent with even being allowed to pour out tlie treasures of tlie heart at tiio feet pf the idol, and deeply thankful for any littio crumbs of regard that may bo thrown in return. And tho willful and proud of heart are more liable to attacks of this description Grant's Cabivet Some “wag” suggests tile following as a good Cab inet for President Grant.
