LENA, THE MISERS DAU6HTER.
It was a crazy old building, in a large
provincial town. Its loose casements
clattered dismally in the wind, and the
old shutters swung creaking upon their
rusty hinges. No door barred the en
trance-hall, and the wind swept furiously
in driving the falling snow over the rick
ety lloor and broken stairs in great drifts.
"The building was deserted, save in the
basement, where, crouching over a few
smoldering sticks, sat an old, withered
man and a gaunt-featured girl. It was a
dark, dismal room, in the last stage of de
cay. Great draughts of icy wind poured
in through the broken frames, piling up
little heaps of snow over the moldered
lloor. A smoky flame flared from a small
tallow dip, making the dark corners more
fearful, and throwing out the figures of
the man and girl like thick shadows in
the gloom.
The old man was bent with age, and
wasted by the pinching fingers of cruel
want. Ilis thin, gray locks straggled
over his hollow temples ; his eyes, small
and sunken, shone with the fitful gleam
of an expired lamp; his nose was sharp,
and drawm up as if in the death struggle;
his bloodless lips were puckered over bis
toothless gums, and his clothing was scant
and ragged. Ever and anon he thrust
out his bony hands over the smoking heap
of half-burned wood, muttering half aud
ibly, his skeleton frame shaking w ith the
cold.
The girl was young—not more than
sixteen. Over her shoulders fell a pro
fusion of purplish black hair. Tier eyes,
though sunken and staring, were large and
black, and the veined lids were fringed
with long, heavy lashes. Her cheeks
were hollow, her lips thin and purple, and
her figure slight. On her countenance
was an expression of hopeless suffering.
She sat on the floor with her feet drawn
up, her hands clasping her low r er limbs,
while her chin rested on her knees.
“ Father,” she said, with chattering
teeth ; “ mayn’t I put on some more wood ?
I’m freezing,” • «
“ Wood! Girl, would you waste all
that we have ? Come up closer; it’s a
cheery blaze-a cheery blaze!” he chuckled,
scarcely able to articulate.
The girl gave a low groan.
“ We shall be frozen Htill before morn
ing, aud I don’t much care. But you’ll
have to ieave all your money behind you,”
she chuckled, hysterically ; “ it will never
do you any good !”
He stretched his skinny hands over
the fire, and a fierce flame shot into his
eyes, as he glanced fearfully around.
“Hush! Don’t speak so loud. We
might be robbed—-robbed and murdered,
and no one the wiser. Dio! I’ll not die
yet, I’ll be rich—rich 1”
A spasm of coughing choked his utter
ance, and for a few minutes racked him
fearfully. The silent room mockingly
echoed back his gasping breath, and the
rattling noises of the storm sounded knell-
like through the deserted house. The
cough over, his head drooped on his shoul
der, and his hand sank powerless by bis
side.
“ Father!” the girl cried, springing up,
affrighted.
“ I’m all right now,” he panted, in a
shrill whisper; and, with a frantic effort
for strength, lie straightened himself in
his chair. “ I’ll not die yet! Oh, no—
Roger Emberson will be rich before he
dies! I must count it over again. Ten
thousand! ten thousand!” lie mumbled;
“ all in gold—bright, bright gold!”
With an avaricious light in his eyes he
tottered to his feet. Hut severe privations
had long since snapped the life vigor from
his aged frame. He swayed, lie shivered ;
his stiffened limbs shook beneath him,
aud with a groan, he sank back into bis
chair.
“ Oh, this miserable weakness,” lie
moaned feebly. “What is it? Why is
it? Can it be death ?” lie exclaimed, in a
startled whisper. “Aiia! No, no! It
shall not be! Pile on some more wood,
Lena,” he said, excitedly. “ Ii’s the cold
—the cold ! I’m growing old, and I cannot
endure the cold as I once could. Yes,
it’s the cold—the icy cold—that numbs
my senses aud stiffens my limbs iuto help
lessness.”
He held his hand over the flickering
blaze, which sprang up with eager, ruddy
flames, as the girl, nothing loath, piled on
the wood. He rubbed his nerveless lin
gers together with energy for an instant,
and then with a desperate effort arose
from his chair. Grasping the arm of the
frightened girl, he shuffled toward an old
closet, whoso gaping door swayed on one
rusty hinge.
“ I must see it again, be muttered ; my
gold—my beautiful gold ! Can it be death ?
I feel afraid of this faintness stealing over
me. Oh, God ! To starve, to freeze, but
to be mocked at last!”
He sank upon the floor, and with des
perate efforts strove to clutch at the hid
den hoard ; but, with a rattle in his throat
aud a convulsive shudder in his skeleton
frame, he sank suddenly back and rolled
over a hideous corpse.
Stupefied and horror struck, the girl
sat beside the inert body.
“ Oh, father, speak to me, speak to me !”
she cried, and covered her face with her
shaking fingers.
Over the ashen face flitted the fitful
gleam of the flames, and also over the
erouehing figure of the wretched girl.
The wild storm without had increased,
and the tierce wind howled through the
deserted rooms of the old building, rock
ing it on its rotten foundation. It swayed,
it creaked, it groaned, ever and anon,
with a rushing, rumbling sound. Parts
of the wall felL; doors parted with their
last hinge, ami fell with a loud crash ; and
finally, all in a moment, it trembled like
an aspen in the rude gale, then, with a
loud report like a thm.der clap, the old
house fell, burying beneath the ruins the
young girl and her father, the living and
the dead.
The reverberations of tlie fall had hard
ly died away ere there was a sound of
hasty footsteps. A crowd ot excited
men and women soon gathered around
the fallen buildiug, and there was a con
fused Babel of voices ; but a ringing voice
shouted out above them ail, “There’s a
mau and a girl buried in tin* ruins! To
work, men ! Let’s rescue them !”
“ Ay, ay !” answered many a hearty
voice.
“ My God !” suddenly ejaculated some
one; “ it’s on fire !”
And sure enough curling up through
the ruins, arose a thick smoke, which was
blown about in sulleu clouds with the
wind.
“ Quick if you would be successful!”
shouted the same hearty voice ; and its
owner, George Waldron, a stal wart young
man, clambered up the broken lront wall,
and gaining a sure footing, gazed anxious
ly among the fallen beams and timbers.
A score or more of men joined him, sup
plied with lanterns, which soon became
unnecessary, for sharp tongues of fire be
gan to creep through the rifts in the mass
of bricks and timbers, shedding a ruddy
glow over the desolate scene. And now
a stifled, agonizing cry arose for help ; the
shrill, despairing cry of a yonng girl bu
ried beneath the ruins. The stout hearts
that heard that cry stood still from very
horror, but, with shouts of encourage
ment, the men hurriedly searched for the
sufferer.
Guided by her voice, they soon found
her, but she was so covered by an entan
gled mass of rubbish, that to liberate her
ere the fire could reach her seemed im
possible. But the hearty voice of George
Waldron bade her keep up courage, and a
crowd of men labored like very giants.
Choked and blinded by the smoke, heed
less of the fire and storm, they worked in
silence. The girl’s cries had ceased ; on
ly low moans escaped her, as she watched
her would-be deliverers. The wind mer
cifully blew the smoke and flames away
from her, and a huge pile of bricks and
mortar that had formed a part of the
chimney that had fallen around her, pro
tected her from the scorching heat. Clear
er and nearer they worked, great drops
of sweat rolling oft' their grimed faces,
and their iron muscles quivering with
their efforts. They reach her at last, they
drag her now senseless body from the
ruins,and, breathless and staggering, clam
ber out of the flames and smoke with their
burden.
They laid her down on the snow-cov
ered ground.
“ She is dead !” they whispered, as they
crowded around, gazing anxiously down
on her haggard, up-turned face.
“Perhaps not,” said George 'Waldron;
“but she will die here. Bring her to my
house, and some one run cjuick for the
doctor.”
The modest home ot Waldron was but
a little distant; and placing the still sense
less form of Lena Emberson, on a hastily
contrived litter, they bore her to its hospi
table doors. The physician, who was called
in, quickly revived her. The fire was
soon extinguished by the sturdy firemen,
leaving the old house but a black, smolder
ing heap. The crowd scattered, and the
street was again still and dark.
Two weeks Lena lay helpless, attended
by GeorgeWaldron’skind-hearted mother.
“Poor dear!” she would say to her
son, when he anxiously inquired after her;
“ she was dead nearly with starvation
but she’ll come round, never fear.”
A week more and the light of intelli
gence gleamed in her ejes, and she made
occasional futile efforts to rise. A few
days more and she sat at the table be
tween George and his mother, and mur
mured words of heartfelt gratitude to her
benefactors. George repudiated all claim
to praise. Privately he bade his mother
offer Lena a home with them if she was
friendless. The girl, gaunt and ghastly
though she looked, had taken a strange
hold on the young man’s heart, and lie
could not bear to think of her a homeless
wanderer. So it was settled.
Lena told the old lady of the sudden
death of her father, just before the fall of
the house, and that she was an orphan.
She did not tell of the miserly spirit of
her father, and made no mention of the
wealth he had hoarded up, and that then
lay buried beneath the charred timbers
and blackened bricks of the old house.
Her sufferings had made her reticent, and
her respect for her father made her loath
to tell any one of the buried treasure.
She began to concoct plans to get pos
session undiscovered of her inheritance.
Any day man might be set to work to
clear the ruins, and then the treasure
might be found and carried away, or an
unlucky chance might discover it to some
curious prowler among the ruins. George
noticed that something weighed on the
spirits of Lena. She was restless and
nervous. He had seen her once or twice
as he was hurrying home after business
hours, much to his astonishment, flitting
like an uneasy ghost about the blackened
heap of ruins.
One night after George had retired to
his room, not feeling sleepy, he had, with
a book, thrown himself, still dressed, on
the bed. For a couple of hours he read.
Tlieu his hand relaxed, the book fell from
his grasp. His eyes closed,' and he slept.
His candle burned down to the socket,
flickered, wavered, and at last went out.
A sleepless impatient watcher in a room
on the same floor, noted with a deep-
drawn breath of satisfaction the disap
pearance of the light that had glimmered
through the chinks of the young man’s
door; and cautiously and stealthily Lena
Emberson crept out of her room, and
hurriedly stole dowD the stairs and out of
the front door. But the click of the lock
as she shut the door, awoke George. He
sprang to his feet, and although bewil
dered, instinctively raised his curtain and
peeved out of the window. Down the
street he saw the slight figure of Lena
flitting along in the shadow of the build
ings.
Where can she be going ?” he ex
claimed, now thoroughly awake; and,
snatching up his hat, he noiselessly, yet
fleetly, dashed out ol the house, and pur
sued the girl.
Lena crept along until she reached the
ruins. Then, emerging from the shadow,
she, shivering with fear and with wildly-
palpitating heart, ran swiftly toward that
part of the building where she supposed
the buried fortune of her father was se
creted. A part of the basement wall was
still standing; and through a jagged ir
regular hole she scrambled, or rather
tumbled, to find herself confronted by
two ruffianly-looking men. She uttered
a low cry of alarm. The clear radiance
of the full moon streamed through the
hole by which she had entered, and
lit np her pale face and distended eyes.
“ By jingo 1” ejaculated one of the men,
“we’re iu luck, Bob! This is the old mi
ser’s gal, and has come, no doubt, to seek
for her father’s pretty pile. We’ll assist
her, eh, Bob?” ami he chuckled.
Lena turned to fly, but Bob, as his
companion liau named him, grasped her
rudely by the arm.
“ None of that miss! we are too glad
to see yon to part company so soon. Jlist
show us where the old codger’s pile of
gold is likely to be found, and when we
have found it, yon may cut oft’ as soon as
yon please.”
Lena by this time comprehended her
frightful position, and with a loud scream
she struggled frantically iu the man’s
grasp.
“ Death and furies, hold your noise !”
growled Bob, clapping his coarse, hard
palm upon her lips. “ You’ll have the
peelers down on us !”
She struggled vainly in hisjfirm grip, and
choked and half-straugled, failed to give
utterance to further sound. But her
scream had reached the ears of George
Waldron. She had mysteriously disap
peared from his sight, and he was not a
dozen rods away, baffled aud perplexed.
He ran in the direction of her voice, and
hearing a scuffling movement in the old
house, bolted bravely through the hole in
the wall. He dealt a staggering blow to
the ruffian who held Lena and turned
swiftly to grapple with his companion,
who sprang upon him with furious rage.
Lena was released in the stunning fall of
her captor, and shrieked loudly for help.
A sound of quick steps on the pavement
smote their ear, and the man who had
grappled so viciously with George strove
to release himself to escape; but George
was a muscular man, with nerves of steel,
and he bung on to his assailant, parrying
his tierce blows with determined skill.
Two policemen appeared, and with their
staves quickly awed the villain iuto sub
mission. One took him into custody, and
the other, assisted by George, raised the
prostrate form of the other, who had ev
idently been stunned by bis fall, and slowly
proceeded to the station house. Lena, at
the appearance of the policemen, had, in
the confusion which ensued, skulked out
of sight, and sped breathlessly home.
Once in her room, she sank tremblingly
on the bed, and in her excitement sobbed
hysterically.
“ What would George think ? How
came he so near her in her trouble? Would
she have to tell what she went out so se
cretly for? Was lie hurl in the struggle—
her deliverer from a second peril ?”
These questions recurred again and
again to her agitated mind, and with a
swelling heart she listened intently for
his return. She soon heard his quickstep
in the passage below; and dreading to
meet him, for probably he might be
wounded dangerously, she thought, and
her heart gave a great bound. She trem
blingly crept down the stairs to the little
sitting-room where she had heard him
enter. Peering through the half-opened
door, she saw him on the lounge where
he had flung himself full length ; his eyes
were closed, and his face looked strangely
pale. She was alarmed for him now, and
rushing before him, cried, “You are
hurt! Oh, let me do something for yon !”
“ No, no,” said he, opening his eyes ;
“ I am only a little exhausted. That fel
low was a tough one to handle.”
Aud he looked curiously at her, while she,
reassured, once moie felt all the embar
rassment of her position. He evidently
expected her to explain her actions ; for
he said nothing, only waited with his eyes
fixed steadily upon her.
She blushed, she faltered, she turned as
if she would run away; then, in a suppli
cating tone, she exclaimed, “ Oh, forgive
me, forgive me !‘I should have had no se
cret from you, my benefactor—my best,
my only friend.”
Then she told him of the miserly spirit
of her father; of his fevered craving for
wealth ; how he had been hoarding for
years all that he could gain, until his av
arice had amassed an immense sum, which
now lay buried beneath the ruins of the
old house.
“ I have often heard your father called
a miser, but supposed the opprobrious
name was given by his low-bred neigh
bors, because of his old age and apparent
poverty. If this be true, you are an heir
ess,’’-lie said. “ You should have told me
about it sooner. Now your story will
become public when those men are had
up.”
In a day or two the whole town was
ringing with the strange story of the
miser’s buried fortune and the beauty of
his daughter, and as is always the case,
wealth brought in its train relations to
the friendless, despised orphan. Two
uncleis came forward to claim the guard
ianship of Lena, and received their niece
with kindly expressions of regard. They
said that their brother Roger, always ec
centric, had intentionally hidden himself
from his family, and they had long since
given him up as dead.
And now a different life opened to Lena.
She was provided immediately with ac
complished masters ; and possessing nat
urally a powerful mind, she soon made
astonishing progress in her studies. As
as soon as practicable, was introduced into
society, and become, by her rare beauty,
a general favorite,
George Waldron was ever a welcome
visitor at Lena’s new home, and he could
scarcely believe at times that she was the
same shy, haggard girl that he assisted to
rescue from a fearful dearth. Her angular
form was now filled out and her face wa3
radiant with the roses of health and hap
piness. Her eyes had lost their woe-be-
gone look of suffering, and gleamed with
the softened light of a joyous heart.
George’s fancy for the miserable waif
whom he bad hospitably taken to his own
home soon deepened into the deep en
thralling passion of love. But with his
love came the strange misgivings. He
dared not hope that she, the young heiress,
would look upon him with favor. She
was now far above him in station ; and
the fear of being thought a fortune-hun
ter made him assume a coldness and re
serve he did not feel.
The quick apprehension that a lover is
alw ays supposed to possess in deciphering
the expressive face of his inamorata was
sadly wanting in George Waldron; or
else in the soft color which came and went
so often on Lena’s lovely countenance, the
ill-concealed pleasure in meeting him, the
tremble of her hand in parting, her shy,
drooping glance, he might have read the
happiness in store for him only for the
asking. But George did not s£e ; and at
last, unable to endure the misery of his
secret passion, he determined to leave the
town, and, away from the glamor of her
presence, to wrestle courageously with
Fortune for her golden favors, which
would place him upon an equality with
his beloved.
He called to tell her of his proposed
change of residence, and to bid her fare
well.
“Lena,” he said, as he arose to leave,
this will be my last call for some time.
I am going away.”
“Going away ?” she repeated, while the
rich bloom fled from her cheeks, leaving
her deadly pale.
“ Yes he said nervously. “I—I think
I can perhaps, succeed better in one of
the—the—colonies—”
With the quick intuition of a woman,
Lena guessed the truth. She was not
one to let happiness go away from her
without making an effort to stop it; so
she said in tones of surprise, “ I thought
you were very well contented with your
position as a clerk in the bank. I am
afraid you are too ambitious.”
This time the color left his cheek. Did
she suspect ?
“You are right he said, thinking of
her. “I fear I am too ambitious.”
“ I did not mean that exactly. In fact,
I did not mean it at all,” she said stam
meringly. “ I think there is nothing you
might not attain if—if yon were deter
mined,” she concluded, a little incoher
ently.
A light broke in upon Lira. He gazed
earnestly at her flushed face.
What he saw must have emboldened
him, for he took her hand with a passion
ate gesture.
“ Lena, may I, dare I say it, that you
are the object of my ambition ! I have
loved you long and passionately ! Sav dear
est, can you, do you return my love !”
She lifted her tremulous face to liis, her
dark eyes beaming with emotion.
“I can and do!” she whispered.
He folded her rapturously in his arms,
and they sealed their mutual confession
with the old-time pledge of love.
It is needless to add that George Wald
ron changed his mind about leaving town.
In a short time he was a proud and
happy bridegroom, and Lena his blush
ing bride.
From the Nt w York Freeman's Journal.
‘‘ That Same 014" Coon ”
When the British Parliament declared it a
pesal offense to bury the dead in anj thing bat
woolen, they did it with the avowed purpose ot
benefftting a particular class ot dealers, and
made no false pretense that the corpse was
thereby rendered more comfortable, or the mar
ket price ot the prescribed fabric diminished.
Our legislators are not quite so candid. A
bill is now pending in Congress, and sure to
pass, they say, w hich proposes largely to in
crease the already exhorbilant duties imposed
on the importation of certain articles in the pro
duction of which a portion of citizens—actua
ted by purely pay-triotic motives, no doubt-
have embarked their capital.
These articles, itisconceded, caDbe macubc
tured more cheaply abroad than at home, anil
consequently would be purcha c ed abroad,were no
tax levied on their introduction. But lay a sut-
ficicnt tariff to increase the price ot the impoited
article to a point equal to, or above, that at
which similar domestic commodities oau !>e
profitably produced, and the latter will at once
be enabled to compete with the former.
“So far all right,” says the Hon. Phineas
Phonkey, M. C., In m Bobbinsville, when you
have thus stated the case. “ Right enough tor
the producer, but what of the consumer t yon
venture to hint. Unloruinate words! The
Hon. Phineas has yon just where he wanted
you. He is in his element now. He lams you
with logic, pommels you with postulates, pelts
you with propositions, slumps you with statis
tics, and fuddles you with tacts, till lrom the
depths ot despair you cry “peccavi," and humbly
contest that the higher the tax od the foreign
the cheaper becomes the homemade article.
Why it is so, you would be glad to know ; but
not lor worlds wi uld you ran the risk, by asking
the question, ol provoking another ot the Hon.
Phineas’ onslaughts, to which the
“Strepitus, crepitus, sonitus, ionttrns,’’
spoken ot by Plautus, is nothing.
One ot our New York representatives, the
Hon. S. S. Cox, tackled the Hon. Phineisthe
other day. On the principle that cheap foreign
products are, philosophically considered, the
dearest, Mr. Cox sa>d he couldn’t exactly see
why Congress shouldn’t wall up the windows
and hermetically seal the skylights ot the Capi
tol. Sun light is not only a foreign commodity,
but dog cheap—so cheap that it must be the off
spring of pauper labor. It directly competes
with the gas from Pennsylvania coal, the petro
leum ot West Virginia, and the taliow ot Texas
—to say nothing of lard oil, beeswax and calci
um. Shut out the sunbeams, therefore, UTged
Mr. Cox, not only from tbe Capitol, but from
the couDtiy at large. Erect a vast circus tent
over the land, and let gas light and kerosene
glare throughout our borders! Should the lat
ter explode now and then, so much the better
tor the doctors. Like true Americans let us sup
ply our own wants; and whrn eclipses come
and togs arise, with our lamps trimmed aud
burning, we may laugh to scorn those who have
suffered their cruets to become dry, putting their
trust in Phoebus and tree trade.
The Hon. Phineas answered Mr. Cox -how
we cannot tell; but we know, as well as if we
bad been there, he answered him. The Hon.
Phineas always has the last word. It’s a way

The queerest answi r came from Judge Wood
ward. The Judge, you know, is a sound, high
tariff Democrat. “I confess this sort of legiala
tion is all wrong,” said he; “hut then we have
entered upou it, and the people of my district
have iu vested their mouey on the faith of it.
Let us see how that canies out. Ever so
many loyal people invested their money
shoddy mills during the war. With the end of
the war ceased the demand lor shoddy. Would
it have been a good argument against peace
that its advent would stop these mills ? or should
we have kept on fighting in the inleiest
shoddy ?
Put another case. Hans Skoovendyke puis
his money in a manufactory of Dutch sevihes.

with HaDs’ sevthes, will drive them out. I the

require Jacob to be sustained by iujuncifou lrom
vending bis invention to Hans’ prejudice ?. It
not, why not? Again, should Senator Morton
have been stopped by a writ of ne exeat lrom
running off alter French moxus, instead ol pat-
rouizing Hembold’s boo hoof
The fact is nobody—but Horace Greek y—be
lieves iu this protective nonsense; but the
trouble is, there are so man)' pretty interests to
be cared lor that the geueial welfare is com
pletely lost sight ot. There are eo many mem
bers of Congress in Judge Woodward’s fix
whose constituents in the shoe-peg or fish-hook
business, are constantly crying, “protegenos”—
that each, to carry out the behests ot his own
locality, must yield assent to the demand ot
every other.
“I would go ten rod3 out of my way to kick
a sheep,” said John Randolph, thoroughly dis
gusted with the protection clamorers of his dav.
We wonder how far he would have gone to
serve similatly the Hon. Phineas Phunkey.

The Evils or Packing the (Jutted States
Supreme Court.
The evil effects attending the attempt to pack
the United States Court by the Executive, are
already manifesting themselves You have read
of the scene that occurred in the court-room on
the morning ot the 11th of this month. I was
not present, but gentlemen who were, tell me
that so unusual an occurence in so quiet and
dignified a body w«9 vety startling, not to say
painful. It has been heretofore a reliet to pass
lrom the turbulent scenes and foul atmosphere
ot the Senate and House, to the quiet dignity ot
the court-room, where the best legal minds and
tbe purest characters are collect* d to adjudicate
upon high questions touching the rights of citi
zens. One feels as if in all this drifting of the
Government that leaves one confused and sick,
and uncertain that there is here, at least, one
grave organization that holds its own, and
stands secure upon the deep foundations the
fathers of the republic designed.
This sort of praise is not popular, of course.
We have ideas of progress that mean ebanee—
and if any obstacle presents itself to the corn nt,
however turbulent and dangerous, the first im
pulse is its removal. When States undir our
Constitution can be reduced to military depend
encies and governed by irresponsible epauieues
—when the test of loyalty to the Government
has come to be the support of party —why
should the Supreme Court be left lo n lard or
render void the edicts of party Fad >s and
stand in the way of corrupt factions? i -ei it t e
so modified that it will, like the Fx ctuive,
record only the edicts of the Senate
There was a time when tbe Senate stood like
the Supreme Court, a great, calm, Dignified con
servative body. But since wealthy men have
bought their way in, and poor, needy represent
atives of faction have gone there to snw
wealthy through a sale of votes and influence
the Senate has ceased to be the Senate ot tin
fathers, and is now the more dangerous arm ol
the Govirnment, because-its memb-rs are the
more secure in their positions. What monev
obtained, money can keep, and tbe 1 ng term
allotted each affords lull time lor cnuu pi security
of his coutinuance.
TDese Senators seem to accept and recognize
their degradation. Ten or twelve \ e ,rs since, I
could not have written the above p ira^ragh-and
told the truth. Had I put to paper an attack ol
halt the severity or one containing any impu
tation of corrupt practices, I would have met
with quick and effective resentment I remem
ber when Hiram Robinson penm d, under politi
cal excitement, a briel paragraph beaded,
Look out lor the Senate,” aDd in twenty-tour
hours after its appearand, wa9 under arrest
before the insulted body, and forced to purge
himself of the contempt. I lie alacrity with
which my lriend complied wa9 somewhat
amusing.
This sort of thing cannot now be done, be
cause public opinion would not sustain the Sen
ate—and in the contest between the jonrnaiist
and that august body, the latter would probably
be called upon to do tbe purging. 1 would be
glad to see tbe issue made up between tbe illus
trious Senatorial Fogbank and some quill driver.
The contest now would be very ente. taming,
and perhaps instructive.
Editing a Paper.—The following was found
in the office ot an editor by a country sheriff :
Editing a paper is a very pleasant thing. It it

WALTHAM WATCHES.
The extensive nse of these watches for the last fl’teen
years by Railway Condor tors, Beg neers, aud Express-
i.ieu, u a most exacting*,! watch-wearers, has thoroughly
demon* rated the strength, durability and accuracy ot
the Waltha-a Watch. To satiety that c'ass in all these
respects. is to decide the qoesti-u as to the real value of
these time-kef pers
More than 450,000 of these wa'ches are now
speaking for themseiyes in the pockets of l* e people— a
proof and a guarantee of tntirtuueriority over all others.
The snpertor organisation and great extent of tbe
Company’s Work- at Waltham, enable them to produce
watches at a price which renders competition futile,
ana those who bay any other watch, merely pay lrom
23 to SO per cent, more for i heir watches than is necessary
We are now selling Waltham Watches at less prices
in greenbacks, than the gold prices before the war.
There is no other manufacture of any kind in the
Uu'ted States ot which this can be said.
'I hese time-pieces combine every improvement that
a long experience has proved of real practical use.
it virig 1 ad the refusal of nearly eveiy invention in
watchmaking originating in this country c-r inKurope,
onlv the se were dually adopted which severe testing by
the most skillful arti.ans in our works, aud long use on
tbe part ot the public, d<moustrated to be essential to
correct aud enduring time-keeping.
Among the many improvements we would pariicn-
Tne Invention and n^e of a centre-pinion of peculiar
construction, to prevent tiau.sge to tbe train by the
weak ige- oi main springs, is original with the American
vv'a:ch t’o-’-psny, who. having had the reiueai of all
other contrivances, adopted Foge’s Patent pinion as
being tbe best ana faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now universally
admitted by aa-chmakers to be tue best, are used in all
grades of Waltham Watches
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps, protect
ing the movements from dust and lessening the necessi
ty ol the frt quent cleaning neo ssary in other watches
Onr new patent sieui-wtnder, or keyless watch, is
already a dreiu- d success and a great improvement on
any stem-winding watch in tbs American market, and
by lar the cheapest watch ot its quality now offered to
the public To those living iu portions of tbe United
State- where watchmakers do net abound watches with
the above mentioned improvements which tend to
insure accuracv. cleanliness, durability and convenience,
mus' prove invaluable.
