The crimson window curtains were
closely drawn, to shut out the storm and
tempest of the bleak December night;
the fire was glowifg cheerily in the we'll
filled CRATE, and the dinner table, in u
glitter with cut glass, rare china, and
polished silver, was only waiting for the
presence of Mr.. Audley.
"What can be it that detains papa?"
said Mrs. AudleY, fair handsome mat
ron Of. about thirty, as she glanced at the
dial of n tiny enamcled watch. "Six
o'clock, and he does not make his ap-
pcarance."
"Theres man will, him in the study,
mamma, come OH business" said Robert
Audley, pretty hoy, eleven years old,
who was reading by the fire.
"I'il call him again." said Mrs. Audley
stepping to the door.
Busas she opened it, the brilliant gas
light in tile hall fell full on the fstce fan
humblc-looking man, in worn and thread
bare. garments, who was leaving the
house, while her husband stood i'll the
doorway of his study, apparently relieved
to be rid of his visitor.
"Gharles," said Mrs. Audley, whose
check had palcd and flushed. "who is
that man, and what does he want ?"
ellis name is Moore, l believe, and he
came to see If / would bcstow upon him
that vacant clcrkship in the bank"

"Why, my lover"
Because l ask it of you as a favor,
and you have said thousand times you

"And | will keep my word, Mary"
said the noble-hearted husband, with an
nifee.ti annte kiss "I II. write tia ti.llorr 5.
notc tl.is very evening. | believe I've
got his address about me, somewhere"
An hour later, when Bobbie, Frank
and Eugene were snugly tucked in bed,
in the spacious nursery up stairs, Mrs.
Audley told her husband why ssrc was so
interested in the fate OF q man whom she
had not seen in twenty years.
CHATS right, my little wife" replied
her husband, folding her fandly to his
breast, when the simple tale was conclu-
ded "Ncvcr forget one who was kind
to you in the days when you needed
kindness most"
Ralph Moore was sitting in his poor
lodgings beside his aiiing wifc's sick bed,
when n liveried servant brought note
from the rich banker, Mr. Cherries Aud
ley.
Good news, Bertha" he exclaimed,
as he read the brief words 1--WE shall
not starve; Mr.. Audley promises me the
vacant situation"
"You have dropped something from
the letter, Ralph" said Mrs. Moore, point
ing to slip ofpaper on the floor.
Moore stopped to recover the estray.
1t was fiity-ponnd note, neatly folded
in q piece Of paper, on which was writ
ten, "In grateful remembrance of half
crown piece that kind stranger bestow
cd on a little chestnut girl over twenty
years ago"
Ralph Moore had thrown his morscl

days it had returned to him.

Compulsory Edpcation.i

Many of the greatest thinkers advocate
compulsory education. Prussia has long
made it obligatory upon her people to
edutatp their children; with what result?
A nation of intelligent men, able to cope
with any difficulty. Nov we see that
somo of the States Of Our own land are
considering the sdbject. The Connect
cut Legislature has taken up the matter,
being impelled to it by the fact that there
are 10000 children in that State between
the ages of four and sixteen who do not
attend school at ala state of affairs
Which certainly should be ren,odied.

We regret to learn the death at her
homestead in Fairfield County, near the
Richland line, of Mrs Frances Powell, in
the 75d year of her age. She exhibited
up to avery recent period the unwonted
mental and dphy steal vigor which had char
ncterized her long and usefui life.
She was the mother Of our well-knowli
fellow-citizens, DIR. John w. Powell, and

Among our telegraphic news, on Saturday, we
had report Of the sinking Of the bark Sdbra-
Moses, of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, bound from
Philadelphia for Haue, with cargo Of coAl-oil.
She was OF Deep River Point, abort distance
from New Castle, when she sustained an injury
TO her hull probably by the ice, though Il ls not
certainly known how, and commenced leaking 80
fast that the water gained rapidly upon the
pumps.
The Captain therefore resolved to run into the
New Castle Harbor, and by the time he reached
the front of the town. his vessel was In sink-
ing condition. She did not, however, go COM
pletely under, but lay water-logged, the barrels
Of coal-oil acting as a powerful buoy, and keep
ing her partially afioat.
4 Hobbs, Philadelphia, who despatched crew
with diving apparatus. on board the steam-tug
Edith, TO repair damages and pump out the bark
Work was commenced on Sunday, after the diver
had temporarily stopped the leak, and yesterday
morning the bark was floated. She will be now
hauled up on the beach in front Of the town, fol
repairs, and is expected to sail again, in weei
or ten days.
The Sdbra- Moses is Of $50 tons measurement
and has a cargo of SAT barrels Of oil.
THE BARK ON FIRE.
Intelligence from New Castle, this morning
/ stated that the bark was on fire, but Telegram
received later in the day, says ii was extngulshe'
/ without any serious damage to the vessel III
/ fire originated from gas explosion in the holt
caused by lighted open globe lamp. One sailo

The sage arrangements were somewhat SINH
