Politics in New INTERPRETATIONS About the
Officers of the Assembly.
From the Owego Palladium
Now that it IS decided that the Assembly IL to DO
democratic there Is much speculation az TO the
personnel of The officers OF tina. body Among the
names which are most likely 10 be mentioned for
the SDeakership are Flagg, OF Rensselaer, Jacobs,
OF Kings. ana Randall, OF Cortland with, perhaps
one or two others from the western por-
ton OF the State. Either OF the three gen
tlenen above mentioned would make most
efficient presiding officers. Should the Speaker
be selected from among the eastern men,
Ders, the ClerKsnip would by right belong TO the
central or western portion or the state. Those Sec
tons nave not been represented in these Offices Tor

| the mountains, played so strangely and
| the old man laid his hand on it, as if il
gave him something to grasp. At last he
went back to bed.
In the morning, when the bells were
| ringing, the old man went to church with
his hymn book under his arm he did not
take it out of its cover till he was in
church, then looked at the number of the
psalm which was hung up and began to
turn over the leaves slowly with his
moistened finger. But suddenly he cried
out so that every ones in church started
and his exclamation sounded above the
prelude on the organ: "Henry, what
have you done?" There lay the hundred
thaler note of the wanderer, and it was
his ole-property-there il lay between
the leaves. "Henry put it there, and
that's the reason that he said yesterday
Father, when you sing the psalm
tomorrow, think kindly Of me-" The
old man could not join in the first verse,
but with the second he began as if he had
the voice of his youth again.
AS they came out of church, all were
talking of the goodness and faithfulness
of the wanderer to his father. The old
man said not word he only pressed the
hymn-book so firmly under his arm that
it hurt him, but this he scarcely noticed.
Il have the money still. / haven't touch
ed it, and it still lies in the same place
where he put it," So said the old man,
and | had to go to the village with him
and into his little house. There lay the
hymn book on the window sill, wrapped
in white cotton cloth. The old man
took the book out, and to be sure. at the
psalm numbered 1874 lay the hundred
thaler note.
"Why haven't you put it out at inter-
est" asked.
The old man laughed, and replied at
last: "That's what all the people say,
everybody, ones Just as wise as another,
they only think of one thing. But l will
not"
"You have the best interest from the
money, you feed yourself on the good
thought that your son is so excellent" l
answered.
"There, there p cried the old man,
"you are the first person who has under
stood it. You must certainly have enjoy
ed much kindness from people because
you understand so well. You're not
stupid, l saw that directly"
The old man was quite happy to find a
man as shrewd as himself And when
asked him why he left the book lying
there so openly, whether he was not afraid
that some one might break pane of glass
and steal it, as might easily be done, he
answered smiling--and the smile lighted
his withered face wonderfully:
mo one would do that. The people
here about know what is in it, and any Of
them would rather cut off his hand than
steal the book. But do you mean that
those who don't know? People don't
steal hymn-books, this guards it better
than bolts and bars"
The old man went back with me part
of the way to the place where had first
met him. Then we bade each other a
friendly goodbye.
When I was. in the Harz mountains
again last year, I did not find the old man
in his place-he lay under the sod. But
his hymn book with the money is in the
pastors keeping, and in public advertise
ment the son is summoned to receive it,
otherwise both will fall to the nearest re-
lations.
