Up among the Green Mountains, a
river flows through a quiet valley. In
the Juno sunset a boat started out into
the river, rowed by two youDg men.
They rode swiftly on, exulting iu their
strength, till the sun dropped behind the
western hill and the eastern peaks stood
veiled in a misty glory. The young men
dropped their oars, and silently watched
the sunset. The peaks lost their color
and the clouds in the west flamed up
brightly and faded into gray.
Dear friends were these two, constant
companions from childhood, and they
were on the eve of a long separation.
Will was to leavo the valley in the morn
ing, and they had come out for a last
row on the river they both loved. As
they sat watching the sunset, the mem
ory of many a boat ride on this same
river came over them, and tho tnemory
of long nights when they had told boyish
secrets and laid their boyish plans—plans
wherein they two went forth together to
conquer the world. Now the time had
come when ono of them was going out
alone to seek his fortune, and the other
was to stay on in the quiet valley.
As the daylight faded, John moved
forward and took one of hiscompanion’s
hands: “ It may be tho last time,
Will,” sitting down by the other’s side.
“ Oh, no; my boy! I’ll como back
some time if you don’t come to me. I
hate to leave the old place, but I must
have some chance to grow. I’m not
going to stay here and be nothing. I’ll
go out and see the world and make a
name, and then I’ll come back and live
here quietly. Why won’t you come
with me? It need not be for very
long, and we will come back toHthei.”
“No, no; Will. I will make me a
quiet home here, and be happier in it
than I would be roaming. And you
will come back to me by and by.”
Then they floated silently on, each
picturing to himself his future. Each
saw a house in the valley. For John it
was a little cottage with a bonny, bright
faced lady and himself sitting in the
door at evening, with noisy, bright
haired children playing around them.
Mary Deane’s pretty face entangled
itself in somestrange way with this pic
ture, and then the bouse faded,and there
came a succession of pictures of which
that same face was tho center; a pic
ture of the little church on Sunday
with Mary sitting in the choir, of Mary
walking under his umbrellaand,
lastly, of Mary in white, walking up
the aisle of the church on his arm,
with the people watching from either
side.
Will also saw a house in the valley,
large and handsome, with himself as
master, but the face of the mistress was
vague. Each saw the other sitting as
an honored guest in the house his fancy
had built. Boon came the time to say
goodbye. John took Will’s hand and
said : “Good luck, old fellow ! If you
have any trouble let me know.”
A long, earnest handshaking and
they parted.
****** *****
Years have passed since that night.
People have come and gone in the val
ley, but tho stars and the mountain
and the river are just the same.
There is a cottage, nestling cosiiy
under the elms, with a view from its
windows of the river where, long years
ago, the two boys rowed in the sunset.
A boat is on the river now ; and John
is sitting in the co.tage door watching
it. He is a large, fine looking man at
fifty, as he had been at twenty. His
head drops on his hand as ho watches
the boat and tninks of .the boat ride
thirty years ago to-night. He hits not
seen Will since. Handsome, brilliant,
captivating Will, whom all tho girls
loved, and the men respected—where
is he now?
A girl with a bright, pretty face—
very like the face of Mary Deane thirty
years ago asked gently : “ What are
you thinking of, father?”
“ Of a time long ago, Birdie, when I
was out on the liver rowing. The last
time that I ever saw Will Lawton. He
went out to seek his fortune, while I
stayed here. I wonder where ho is to
night. He was coming back when lie
had seen the world, but he never came.”
The father sat talking of old times as
twilight deepened, while the daughter
softly stroked his hair.
As the light died out of the west, an
old man cams up the walk. Neither
father nor daughter saw him till he
reached tho steps: “John! John! Don’t
you know me? I’ve come back to the
old place at last.”
Thus Will Lawton come to his friend.
“ I have always meant to come’] he
said, but I never found a good time.
I have seen nearly the whole world; I
have been in California in search of for
tune, have made more than I needed
and all the while seen something just
before me that I have said to myself,
this one thing more and I will go home
and be content, without seeing that
every year my pursuit became more
eager, my hair grayer, and my step
more feeble. Now I am a broken
down old man. In my last venture I
lost all, and then saw my folly.
"I said, ‘I will go back to John now.
He will take me in for the sake of the
old times.’ ”
“Take you in! Of course I will!
Why boy we’ll live the old times over
again. We will go out on the river to
morrow, with my own stout Will to row

Louisiana Affairs.
A Washington dispatch states that—
Congressman Wheeler says that the
adjsutment is a triumphant success, and
that there is good feeling on every hand.
The condition of affairs in New Orleans
is more hopeful than it appeared when
the House committee went there last
winter. The compromise in the Legis
lature has been adopted in good faith,
and under circumstances which Will
compel its observance.
A New Orleans dispatch, of the 19th,
says:
Much discussion was produced in
political circles to-day by a report,
which proved true, that the Conserva
tive caucus had resolved to seat in the
house Chas. Delhommer and Felix
Vorheis, of St. Martins, O. L. Collins,
St. Helena, and L. B. Burkhart, of the
7th ward of New Orleans, all Demo
crats, and who were declared elected by
the Returning Board, in place of Mar
tinet, Rocha, Floyd and Richard, Re
publicans, who were seated in the Hahn
House after the withdrawal of Speaker
Wiltz and his followers in January.
The Conservatives contend that all
Conservatives returned by the Return
ing Board were under the award to be
seated, while the Republicans contend
that these four men were not to be dis
turbed. Marshal Packard stated to-day
that if the four Republicans were
ousted, the Senate would adjourn for
three days, and if at the ends of that
time they were not reseated, the Senate
will adjourn sine die. The seating of
Delhommer, Voorheis, Collins and
Burkhart in the Houso will give tho
Conservatives a majority on joint bal
lot. Col. Packard says tho Republi
cans did not and would not agree to
any arrangement which would deprive
them of majority on joint ballot. An
other political crisis is imminent.
There seems to be no doubt about the
seating of these, members to-morrow or
Wednesday.
