new stove and several necessary articles.
Her first visit was to the poorhouse, where
she overwhelmed her mother with the tidings
that she had once more home. Together
they went to the neat little place Carrie had
secured. There was the rocking chair in
which Mrs. Beech had often rocked her child
dren to sleep. The sight and the old recollec-
tions almost overcame her; she sat down and
wept like child.
Presently the two boys came in, ready for
anything, all obedience to their sistor. to
whom they looked up with reverence. They
were dressed in new but coarse and substan-
tial clothes, and seemed quite proud of their
altered condition. Every draft that new and
pressing wants made upon the girls slender

did so, God will fill it up again"

Offsets to Our Debt--Stanton's Speech.

The following is the conclusion of ex-Sec
retary Stanton's eloquent speech at Steuben-
vile, Ohio:
You all remember that bright Sunday
morning, when the nation quaked at the
news, as it flashed through the land that
new monster of the deep had appeared the
day before, had sunk two of our ships and
was about to ravage our coast and, when
four hours later, the word rang through the
land that a little Monitor, which appeared
no bigger than a speck upon the sea, had
fought for three hours, and had driven her,
crippled and shattered, to her port-where
is the man who, for the whole national debt
created by our whole national expenditure,
would have lost for minute his share in the
glory of the achievement? Cheers. And
when, on another Sunday, the world beheld
that great duel on the deep, in the face of
Europe. when Winslow and the Kearsarge
sent, by single shot, the rebel pirate to the
bottom of the sea, who would sell out his in
terest in the glory of that achievement or
dock its account? And yet these are things
on which the financiers of the New York Con-
vention are busy, with pencil and slate in
their hands, to cipher away. Laughter.
But they have quite other things in their
minus WnCu tuCJ pEOitoo W Dc HSuIinS uuU
reckoning discounts and interests. Their
hearts are mindful of something else. They
are thinking of Meade and Gettysburg, and
its glorious field of the rebel ranks moved
by our artillery like grass before the scythe
in that two days. battle. They are thinking
of Sherman hewing his way from the noun
tains to the sea. Applause. They are
thinking of George Thomas dashing their
army to pieces at Nashville. Applause.
They, are thinking of the bloody fight of Scho-
field at Franklin, when the cannon balls
crushed through the bones of the rebel SOL
ders and their officers like hail as thick as
Lannes heard at Montebello. Applause.
They are thinking of Buffers triumphant
entry into New Orleans Applause and Kisses
and his patriotic administration. They are
thinking of the humbling of the knee of the
rebellion before the stars and stipes. They
are thinking of Candy and the capture of
Mobile. But above all they are thinking of
that day when Lee surrendered his sword
and his army to Grant and when the voice
of great nation was lifted up in thanksgiv-
ing and praise to the Lord of Hosts. A
voice. "Glory to His name." Against
these thinks the financers of the New York
Convention may cipher in vain, until the very
figures shall burn and blister their eyeballs.

mindful of these things. You will lay them
to your hearts when you come to make your
choice for President of the United States,
and for your Representatives in Congress-
You will talk of them in your family by your
iresides and you will press tham upon your
neighbors, You will toll with them until the
day of the polls, and the election of Grant
and Colfax and a Republican Congress will
be crowning blessing to your posterity for
ever. Applause.

An Irishman's View of the Bond Question.

The Decatur (Illinois) Gazette reports the
following conversation that occurred between
prominent democrat and an Irishman of
that city, recently. For convenience it des-
ignates the persons as Jack and Pat.
Jack-How do you like the Democratic
platform?
Pat-I can't understand it would you be
after explaining it to me-all about the bond
question?
Jack-Oh, yes, with pleasure. You see
the rich men own all the bonds, and the poor
men have to pay for the bonds.
Pat-The devil, ye say; is that the way !?
Jack--Yes and now the Democratic party
propose to pay off the bonds with greenbacks,
and thus everybody will be treated equally
Pat-Is that our platform ?
Jack-Not in SO many words-but that is
what it means and now, Pat, want you to
do all you can for our party-brings the boys
out to all the meetings, and.
Pat-Hould on, Jack; will yer paying the
bonds off in greebacks make the poor man as
rich as the bondholder?
Jack-Not exactly; the bondholder will
have his greenbacks where we can tax them
Pat-Then there will be all greenbacks
and money will be plenty and we'll git gould
for our greenbacks, if we elect Seymour?
Jack-Not exactly; there is not gold
enough in the country.
Pat-Thin we are not to have gould at all.
How in the divil are ye going to pay off the
greenbacks?
Jack-A part of it will be paid off by tax
alton, the money we take from the people for
revenue and stamps, ETC., and as the green.
backs get worn by constant handling we will
print new ones.
Pat-I see; you propose to take the dept
now carried by the rich bondholder and divide
it among the people, rich and poor alike by
forcing the bondholder to spend his money
for property.
Jack-Exacty. You are learning fast,
and you see r.
Pat-Hould on-an idea strikes me. 1t
the government debt is all in greenbacks, and
thin in circulation, how many cords OF them
will it take to buy cord of wood!
.Jack-I cannot exactly cay what they
would he WORTH that would regulate itself
But. by the by, Pat, could you pay that little

need the money very much. I'm

A CLERICAL WooD SAwYER.-Dr. Beecher
depended upon constant manual labor for
keeping up his own health and in Boston;
where he could not enjoy the luxury Of a
garden to dig in, he was often puzzled to find
means to keep himself in good working or
der. The consequence was that he sawed
all the wood for his own large family, and
often finding that too little, would beg the
privilege Of saving at the wood pile OF q
neighbor. He was fastidious in the care OF
his wood-saw, having it always at hand IN
his study, half concealed among minutes OF
councils, magazine articles and sermonsi
and the setting of his saw was often duly
accomplished while he settled nice points OF
theology with his boys, or took counsel with
his brother ministers. Looking out OF his
study window one day, when his own wood
pile was reduced to discouraging state OF
order-every stick sawed and split-he saw
with envy, the pile of old w. in the street,
Forthwith he seized bis saw, and soon the
old SAWYER of the street behed man WIN
out a cravat, and in his shirt sleeves, issuing
from Dr. Beecher's house, who came brlskiy
up and asked if he wanted a hand at MS
pile: and forthwith went to work with
riobt GOOD will. and soon proved to his BROTH
or sawyer that he was no mean hand at tne
craft.
Nodding his head significantly at the oppo'
site house. w. said, :. You live there p
Work for the old man?' Yes" What
sort an old fellow is he?" " Oh, pretty much
like the rest of us. Good man enough to
work for" "Tough old chap. amt he 2"
/" Guess SO, to them that try to chaw him
up" ..,
So the conversation went on, till the wood
went so fast with the new conner that W.
exclaimed, !" first rate saw, that OF your'n."
This touched the doctor in tender point
He had set that saw as carefully as the arti-
cIes Of his creed every tooth was critically
adjusted, and so he gave smile of triumph.
g say" said W., where can get saw
like that?' - don't know, unless you buy
mine" "Will you trade? What do you
ask ?'' 81 don't know. I'll think about it.
Call at tie house tomorrow and I'll tell
you"
The next day the old man knocked, and
met the doctor at the door, fresh from the
hands of bis wife, with his coat brushed and
cravat tied, going out on pastoral duty.
w. gave start of surprise. "Oh," said
the doctor, you're the man that wanted to
buy my saw. Well. you shall have it for
nothing-only let me have some of your
wood to saw when you work on my street."
w. said he felt as if he would like to crawl
into an auger hole.

and the other is government matter. You
honestly owe me, and promised to pay me
yesterday. Your proposition is to cheat me
out OF my money.
Pat. An it's chatin' ye out of your mon
ey, is it? An haven't as good right to
chate ye as the government has to chate the
widders an orphans whose money is all in
government bonds ? I'll pay ye on the dim

any speaker of any party has or can do it,
