Il Rrussels LoYe Story.

There is a pretty love story told in con-
nection with the introduction of the
manufacture of fine lace into Brussels,
which We copy: "A poor young girl was
dying for love of young man whose
wealth precluded all hopes of marriage.
One night she sat weeping, 3 lady en-
tered her cottage and without saying q
word placed in her lap a cushion with its
bobbins filed with thread. The lady
then with perfect silence, showed her how
to work the bobbins, and how TO make
all sorts of delicate patterns, and COM
plicated stitches. As daylight approach
ed the maiden had learned the art and
the mysterious visitor disappeared. The
price of the maiden's lace soon made her
rich on account of its valuable patterns,
and she was able TO marry her love-
Many years after while living in luxury
with her numerous family about her, she
was startled by the woman entering her
comfortable house-this time not silent,
but looking stern, who said: Here you
enjoy peace and comfort, while without
are famine and trouble. 1 helped you.
you have not helped your neighbors.
The angels weep for you, and turn away
their faces So the next day the wo-
man went forth with her cushion and
bobbin in her hand, and going from cot
tage to cottage, offered to instruct in the
art she had so omysteriously learned. Sc
they all became rich, and their country

Died YESTERDAY.


Every day is written the little sentence
-"died yesterday" Every day afiower
is pluclled from some sunny home; q
breach is made in some family circleJ q
Jewel stolen from some treasure of love.
Every day from the summer fields of
lifesone harvester erdisappears-yes every
hour some sentinel falls from his post,
and is thrown from the ramparts of time
into the surging waters of eternity. Even
as we write. the funeral of one who "died
Yesterday" winds like winter shadow
along the street.
Died yesterday" Who died? Per-
haps it was gentle babe sinless as an
angel, pure as a zephyr's hymn-one
whose laugh was the gust of summer
rills lettering in the bower of roses
whose life was perpetual litany, May
time crowded with the passion of flowers
youth, hopeful and generous, whose path
was filled with wild flowers with not q
serpent lurking underneath-onew whose
soul painted for communion with the
great and good, and reached forth with
earnest struggle for the garden in the
distance.
But the heart is still now-he "died

"Died yesterday" A young girl, pure
as the orange flowers that clasped her
forehead, was stricken down as she stood
at the altar; and from the dim aisles of
the temple, she was borne to the garden
of slumber.
A tall brown man, girt with the halo
of victory, and at the days close under
his own vine and fig tree, fell to the dust,
even as the autumn trembled on his lips
and he, too, was laid "where the rude
forefathers of the hamlet s,eepW
An aged patriarch, bowed with years
and cares, even as he looked out OH the

on his doorstep was written, "died yes

A Dawn View OF a Railroad Car.

Night passengers will appreciate the
following admirable sketch of the interior
of car at day-break:
Long before we hear the roar of wheels
we see the glmmer of glowing light
Brighter and broader it opens like the
cyclopean unwinking eye it is, the head
light of the train: Then the steady jar,
then the mingled clank as of a thousand
shaken chains, and the ears are here
"All aboard" and "all right" follow
each other in rapid succession, and we
are breathing the close and heavy air of
crowded dormitory. The car lamps
have gone out disgusted, the little wake
fulness of the sleepers has subsidized, and
the dim morning outline of cloak and
shawls, and frightened-lOolling heads,
fecked here and there, like troubled
sea, with white, compose the landscape;
while over all, like pendulums, swing
plethoric cNpet-bags slowly to and fro,
and little saechels, brisk as mantle cloaks,
and bonnets made of nothing, dance up
and down like blossoms in the rainfall
timed to the motion of the train.
| But the dim gray turns to an old-eyed
white, and the breathing bundles begin
| to stir; out of an egg-shaped package is
| Matched woman, with locks disheveled,
| like Venus from the sea. A throe or
two, and a rough form emerges from a
cloalpand shawl, and shakes itself awake.
| A shapeless mass turns out man beard
ed like pard. A pair of boots, thrust
out like bowsprit, go out of sight as
the owner comes in view. One is sooth-
ing an irritated hat with gentle touches
of his elbow; another pulling at his
wilted collar. Disordered tresses are
smoothed with hasty touches of the hand
and crumpled into shape. One lady has
learned her lesson from Grimalkin, and
makes her toilet precisely like cat.
The cold, clear light of early morning
is always trying to human beauty; there
are no tints to be borrowed, no softening
shades to he worn, a plain, cold stare that
looks one out of countenance. But, in
railroad train, the disorder is always APP
palling. If a face ever looks faded it il
then; If the hair has any gray in it, i
is sure to show; the rinkles are read
like sign board, afar of. If there be
discomfort i'm the heart it comes to the
mouth, and everybody looks like people
after a masquerade, or Richard, after he
became "himself again."

Comments on the Eaost,on Returns.

The New York Citizen, edited by
Democrat, gives the following glance at
the means whereby the vote was so
swelled in New York city at the recent
election:
"It is notorious that the Tammany or
ganization, utterly unscrupulous, and
with uncontrolled access to the City
Treasury, must have spent an aggregate
of not less than $500, 900 of private and
public money in the recent contest. All
the pay-rolls of the citydepartments for
the past two months have been length
ened and strengthened by thousands up
on thousands of sinecure inspectors"
and other e-holders-assigned to
nominal duty, bat really with no other
charge than to electioneer for the Tam
many candidates. Apart from these
sources of public or place-holding cor
ruption, we have reason to know beyond
any question, that the friends OF one sim
gle Tammany candidate subscribed and
paid out in his behalf, and for his private
benefit, in the late contest, sum more
than four times the aggregate of the en-
tire sum in the hands of the Democratic
Union treasurer for the conduct and or
ganization of our entire campaign.
at is notorious, also, that with the
enormous money power thus placed un-
der its control, there was an enormous
illegal or repeating vote organized and
registered in the Tammany interest
saw not less than from 1900 to 10000
fraudulent votes-of which not less than
from 10000 to 1900 reached the ballot
box in favor of the Tammany candidates;
the remainder being either scared off by
the activity and early arrests of the po-
lice, or being unable, from sheer lack oi
| time between sunrise and sunset, to vote
in as many election districts AS they were
registered in-one case having been trust
worthily reported to us of man who
was registered in no less than So election
districts! Holding, these facts in view
! let us now consider and review what wal
the fate of our candidates"
