4 Penniless and Starving
Family Succored at Mid
night.

AS Stewards store is said to be
4 hospital for decayed merchants,
because So many bankrupt ira
ders are employed in that house,
Brooklyn may be regarded as the
rendezvous Of pastors without a
parish. One Of this number has
been doing a little business, some
times up and sometimes down.
One Saturday he found himself al
most cleaned out. His purse was
without penny, his larder
empty, his credit exhausted. On
his way home he went into a
store and asked for q bill Of goods
on credit until the next week.
The storekeeper blandly and firm
Iy refused.
The poor fellow went to his
home sad enough. There was
nothing to eat in the house. He
called his wife and children to-
gether, told them he was penni-
less and without food, and said ::
My dear children, there is no
help from man, let US 60 to God"
The little household knelt in:
prayer, and went supperless to-
Ded. Between 10 and il o'clock;
the family were aroused by q loud
knocking at the door. The hus-
band went down, and found gen:
rleman waiting to see him. Hc:
was 4 well-known merchant Of;
the city, and knew nothing Of the
distress Of the family, or that theI
household was IN want. Address:
ing himself to the occupant of the
house he said:
"You may be surprised to see:
me here at this time Of night. |;
undertook to go to bed, but l;
could not sleep. I felt impressed;
that it was my duty to come here!
tried to shake it off, but l could;
not, and L am here to see if your;

told his story from the fullness of
his heart. His friend left With
him a sum Of money, and PROM

A Strange Old Mantle Finds
His Daughter After a Search
o1oVer Forty Years.

/ There arrived in a Western
getty, few days ago singular Old
s:aan who's history is QUE OF the
2most remarkable hat we have ever
heard narrated. He was a French:
s;nan by birth fought in the wars
s.of the first Napoleon and euli-

5of his Emperor. lie brought with

.nativc land; and at the time OF
:his emigratiug to this country
sthcrc was no one on earth he
!cou!d call his own, or who was
.ncar or dear to him, but his
beautiful danshtcr.
In New York he found employ

.daucluS girl at one Of the hrsr
theatres. Here she met sni loved
u stranger, and in the end ran
away with him to escape the an
ger Of her father, who bitterly op-
;poaoI the union. For more than
forty years that old man has
:travcled Up and down the land :;
over deserts ard rivers; now here
,::nI uow there, but he never found
:hi; lost darling. At one time he
heard that she had gone to: Eu-
:rope to appear before ths foot
flights il hor old profession. No
sooner had this report reached;
him than lie too:; ship for England,
:and :'sai!ed the sec.s over," but no
trace Of his beloved cn:ld could he

At last, worn out with age and
and grown gray and feeble

strong for the old mau's purposes.

Two years ago, on bright sum !

s1Ienry G. Danforth, tho tnmilJ
consisting Of himselt, wife and OK

two years of age. Ono day thu
child escaped the vigiIant eye o
the mother and wandered from

no trace could be found Of THEN

Then, indeed, tho little ono va:

.of the bereaved parent.
Time passed on. Other children
came to take the place OF the los,

storm of grief at tho terrible attic
,tion had given way to quiet sub
EMISSION. Still the blue, dancing
waters OF the Ohio always causcd
,inexpressible sadness to their be-
.reaved hearts. Five years ago
the family removed to St. Louis
where they have resided eve;
:since.
Last Saturday Mr.. Danforth re-
:ceived an anonymous letter from
the city, urging him to come NJ
ediately if lie wished TO End
his daughter, whom he supposed
was drowned thirteen years before
lie arrived in the city on Monday
.last, and proceeding to the place
designated in the letter foand q
,wonan whom he had knowa il

grave, and young girl in attend
lance upon her. She pointed to
the child Immediately upon his

The woman it seems had on Y
been in our city some six months,
coming from Cincinnati, to which
place she had first fed with the
child. She said she bad always
treated her as she would her own
daughter, to which the child tes-
titled, and begged that the woman
might be taken with them. The
result was that the three took the
train on the North Missouri Rail
road for St. Louis, and ere this the
waiting mother has received the
embraces Of her long lost da0gh-
