Come, Alice “Alice is out there looking for her fortune, mother." said Tom. "It is coming by the train. 1 know all about it..” Aliev smiled and shook Iter lie-id at her saucy brother. «s she rook her scat at her father's side. hit tie did any of them think lp>W many a true word is spoken in ie-t, or that the fort lino which the evening - ex press was to bring the daughter of the bouse was even then nearing their hos pitable door. “I’ve worked like a leaver all day long, Martha, and Tom has kept puce with me, and we Wh said, as we came ^ , nrulor up, that we were too tired to eat. Hut this is comfort I It would be hard to see anything tnnch pleasanter thin this idee, tidy kitchen, ami just us hard to tiiul any of their French rooks that can ls-at you and Alice, my dear,” said Kl- lilm Derwent, glancing thankfully at the blazing lire, the table laid so neatly, the tempting meal of batter eakes and maple syrup, whenten bread and golden butter, and a large platter of cold corned lieel'und vegetables, that was placed be fore the two hungry men. Mrs. Derwent poured out the ten— strong, lint and fragrant. “’Squire Seaton, up in tlie big bouse yonder, don’t often get such tea as this, with all bis statT of servants." said Tom, looking across the valley to the hrick- and-free-stone palace of tlie one million aire of the village. “Poor i.'.an,” sighed Mrs. Derwent. “I do pity him! Ilis wife pud daughter dead, and his only son so wild and wil ful, and a wanderer all over (Jie world. I Inly lust week be told me, with tears in liis eyes, that he had heard of his boy, and that he had been seen lately in IVudville, intoxicated and poorly dress ed, in a gambling saloon.

Tom, if you ever do grow nil- steady, and run away like Philip Seaton, you will give your mother her death blow. Remember that!” “Thank God, it isn’t Tom, Martha! I’m sorry, sorry, too, for the man and for tlie lioy. Mr. Seaton owns that be turned him out of liis house in New York in a fit of anger, and that the boy swore he would never enter his doors again. Bad temper on both sides,you see; and so—why, Martini, wliat on earth is that?” Farmer Dcrincnt might well ask the question, and rush from the tea table to the door, followed by liis wondering wile and children. A procession of four of his neighbors was coming np from the gate. At the gate stood a horse and a light express wagon, and from tlie wagon the four men bud lifted an inanimate liody, and were liearing it toward tlie house. “The II o’clock express ran off tlie tr ick, a mile or two up the valley,” said deacon Jones, as he and Ills two sons and brother-in-law readied the porch with their senseless burden.

We knew that your wife could nurse him liaek into health agnin if any one eould, Mr. Derwe-.it.” “You’re right there, neighbors. Bring him right in,” said the tanner. His wife led the way to her best bed room, next the parlor. Tom sprang on theback of his swift sorrel eolt, and net off for the doctor. Half an lionr later tlie supper-table was cleared, the supper dishes were washed and put away and Alice Derwent sat pensively liy the kitchen fire, while In r mother and father were busy with the doctor in the spare room; ami Tom'; hurrying to and fro on their errands,- stopjMHl ouce or twice to inform her that tlie stringer was young and handsome, hut dressed like a laborer, and that the doctor said “it was a nearrhance wheth er he lived or died.” Two weeks passed ou. The doctor came and went each day; the neighbors far and near volunteered their services— nil except ’Spilr* .Seaton, who lived liis usual secluded life in his great mansion, buried in lxMiks, ami knew nothing of tlie stranger wfio lay at death’s door. “Poor boy!

Mr. White had a tilt with Mr. Kelley and then the speaker and Mr. White had an animated colloquy as to Mr. White’s right to the floor, which re sulted in the speaker’s ordering the Sergeant-at-Arms to see that that gentleman did not again interrupt tho oiderly conduct of business.

Mr. McCook of New York called attention to the clause appropriating $32,328 to meet the Habilties incurred by the York- town Centennial Commission. He thought the management of the cele bration must have been conducted in a very extravagant manner, and he would like to have some explanation ot the cause of the large deficiency, Mr. Hiscock said all the expenses were legitimate, and offered for in spection the vouchers ou which the appropriation was based. Mr. Holman raised a point of order against the clause. Mr. Robinson of New York support ed the point of order. Jt had been in tended to celebrate the hauling down of the English flag, but the celebra tion had been turned to another pur pose. It had been a meeting togetbe; of all the friends and admirers’ ol monarchical and tyrannical Institu tions; and in the costliness of their vainness and display of all kinds of nonsense they had run the Govern ment into debt to the extent of $38,. 000. The point of order was overruled.
