CHAPTER III.

The next morning found Tom and his famil.
anxiousy awaiting the expected visit from Joe
Glover. In their extremity, they had extracted
hope and good cheer from the unexpected ant
splendid offer of this friend in need, who had 81
opportunely come to their rescue. The only shad
ow that darkened the lustre of this new hope
grew out of the possibility, that Mr.. Maddisor
might conceive it to be his duty to expose Toms
addiction to ardent spirits, and that Joel Glover
might be Influenced, by such information, to with
draw the offer altogether.
This possibility-this strong probability, rath
er-was what distressed the wife and daughter o.
Tom more than anything else The unfortunate
man seemed so anxious to reform, that it was ex
tremely to be regretted that anything should occur
Just at that time to dishearten and annoy him. A
good situation, with prospect Of regaining hi
former position, was just the thing to assist him II
the carrying out of his resolves And in strange
city, too! Why that was the best place to rebuilc
the foundations of an honest and vlrtuous llte ano
gather about him a new and better circle OF &C
quaintances.
Alas the day grew old, and the sun was vel
nigh set and, yet, Joel Glover had not como
Poor Tom had remained at home all day, fully e1
pecting the promised visit and running eargerly tc
the door at every sound of footsteps upon the
stairs; but as the morning wore away, the expires
sion Of his face and his manner generally, was cal
culated to increase the apprehensons OF his family
He was evidently disappointed and angry; and
more than once threatened to 60 out and give Mr.
Madison "a piece of his mind )" for ne telt salts
fed that if he lost the promised situation in Lon
don, it would be because of that gentleman inter
ference.
Unperceived by any member Of the family but
her mother, Fannie had glded out OF the room and
passed into the street. where, wrapping an old
shawl about her frail but beautiful person, she
walked rapidly towards the Office Of her fathers
former employer:
"Can see Mr.. Madison momentr' asked
Fannie, addressing herself to boy then putting
|up the shutters of the Office.
''I don't think SO" replied the boy, as he com
pleted his task and prepared to close the door.
els he within?'' she asked, in low, tremulous
tone.
No--he's gone home" And the door was
slammed in her face and locked within.

SINGULAR SYMPATHY OF DoG.--Ata q recent
agricultural fair held at Egg Harbor City, n. j.,
there vas very curious exempifcation Of the af.
fection Of young dog, of the spaniel species On
the farm of Mr.. L. BulInger, an old hen, shortly
after Matching out number of bantam and guinea
Chickens died, leaving the young brood without
maternal care, and likely to perish. A puppy dog,
also belonging to Mr. Bullinger, was lying asleep
not far distant from the tender little chickens, and
one after another they nestled around him, sndby
the warmth of his body were kept alive. Itseem
ed the canine rather liked the company, and knew
the wants of the motherless chickens Hescufld
himself up so as to afford them protection, and
from that time he never forsook them. He watch.
ed over them by day, scratched the sand and gray-
ell for the little ones until they became big enough
to relieve him from his selfimposed duty. -
The dog and the chickens were exhibited IN
cage at the Fair, where thousands Of visitors saw
them. The chickens were now about half grown,
and it was amusing to watch their movements, and
it was also interesting to observe the care evident
" manifested by their guardian for them. The
dog watches over the brood by day, and sleeps
with them at night, and had never been known to
desert them from the time they first nestled under
him for protection.

SOUTHERN EXPATRIATION.

The New York Times, in an article on this sub,
ject, says:
Of these istarred adventures, the latest failure
recorded is that of the colony in Honduras It
went there on the faith of Governor Austin's
promises of land and other privileges. The Gov.
ernor was as good as his word, but the Home Gov
ernment at London "disapproved," and the South
erners are all in trouble again. "Many of them, -
says the account, 'are about to return to the Uni
ted States" It is the same old story, told Of a
new place. Wherever settlement has been ef-
fected, the result has been disappointing. Only
moderate fortune has attended the detachment that
strayed down almost to Patagonia, and that has
been the most promising of all. Cordova was
not only prompt failure, but the whole enter
prise has long since been abandoned, the stock
and property sold out, and the last of the adven-
turers returned The same is true, in brief, of all
the Mexican projects; the same is rapidly becom-
ing true of all Brazilian experiments. For exam
ple the chief colony on the Ribeira, near Iguape-
a settlement founded by one Dunn, furiously Sc
cessionist clergyman, who declares he wants main
ly to ''keep away from Northerners," is anything
but prosperous. Here and there an enterprising
man has met with success; but this was true also
before the war. What we mean to say, is that the
Southern colonies as colonies, are dead failures.
A recent traveller very well says that most of the
emigrants cannot work to advantage, and are too
proud to beg-for anything but a passage home. 1"
INTERNAL REVENUE DECISIONS The Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue has rendered the fol-
lowing decisions:
A mortgage securing 800 or less is not subject
to stamp duty; but the liability of the bond or note
which is evidence of the amount secured, is the
same as though there was no mortgage. The ne
cessary stamp may, however, be affixed to the
bond, or pfe, or to the mortgage
Section 100. The position of the Treasurer in
the organization of Odd Fellows or Freemasons,
or in any other similar organization, is not an Of
fee within the meaning of the statute. Bonds
given by the persons holding such positions are
therefore not subject to dollar stamp each as
bonds for the due execution or performance Of
the duties' of an Office, but to q Is cent stamp
only, as bonds not otherwise charged in Schedule B.

It is known that during the first two years of the
war, many poor fellow lost an arm or leg at the
hands of the surgeons which could have been saved
with little care. The medical department were
''practicing," with vengeance, and it was useless

THE DEPARTURE OF MR. DAVIS FROM BAIM-
MoRE-Mr. Davis sailed from Baltimore for New
Orleans, on Friday morning. Wetake the follow
ing account Of his departure from the Baltimore
Gazette: ta flTs.,.
'The fact that Mr.. Davis was going on the
steamer was known to but few in tbs morning. Il
was his desire that no demonstration should be
made, but somehow or other it became known, and
two hours before the time for the sailing of the
steamer, people began to gather on the wharf, and
before three o'clock about three hundred persons
assembled. About five minutes before three o.
clock Mr.. and Mrs Davis arrived at the wharf,
accompanied by number of friends, principally
ladies. As soon as Mr. D. got ont of the carriage
the people gathered about him, but there was
great deGcacy on the part Of the throng not to
press upon him. A way was kept open by the
police, and no other demonstration than desire to
see him was made until he neared the gang-waH
Then three hearty cheers were given, and o few
extended their hands Mr.. Davis at once recog:
nized the compliment by raising his hat, and shook
the hands Of as many az he could while passing
up to the deck of the ship. he Immediately went
into the saloon, and the whistle sounded for those
to go on.shore who were not passenger The slss
dies separated from Mr.. and Mrs. Davisin the
most ahectionate manner. Among those who had
gone to the ship to see Mr. Davis was young
girl, of apparently about sixteen years She stood
alone in the saloon until all had taken the last fare
well and passed out, yet she did not move. Mr..
Davis noticed that she was looking at him intently
and approaching her extended his hand. She
grasped it, and throwing herarms around his neck,
kissed him. She then left the ship and the moor
ings were cast Off MI. and Mrs. Davis appear.
ed on the deck and in response to the cheers Of
the people he removed his hat and bowed an ac-
acknowledgement. As the steamer turned they walk
ed to the stern, where they stood until the vessel
was trimmed and steamed down the harbor. In
all the demonstration there was nothing boisterous
or unbeooming, but the people appeared animated
by an earnest desire to pay respectful consideration
to one with whom they sympathize in his troubles"

'But, my dear Mr.. Glover"-Tom started,
drew nearer and listened breathlessly-'I thought
it best to tell her so to get rid Of her. AS you
have given up all idea of employing the worthless
sot-"
"Stop, Harry! You forget that you insult me
by using such language, when speaking ofa friend

"Ayl-a friend, for whose redemption from the
vice which has well nigh ruined him, am prepar-

unreasonable measures.

"Why, remove him and his family away from

them in pleasant home give him constant en-
ployment and surround him with kind influences.

waiter, 'you are your own master, and can do as
you please about Tom but warn you, as friend,
