A WOMAN'S COURAGE.

THE blood-red light Of sunset was mir
roring itself in crimson splashes in the
turbid tides of the great Western river
the backbird was sounding it's sweet
whistle through the old primeval forests
and Jonathan Bears, sitting by his cabin
door, smoked his solitary evening pipe,
and thought vaguely of the church-bells
that used to ring at evening time In
the far-off Eastern village where he had
been born and brought up, with the roar
of Penobscot Bay in his ears.
"I'd like to hear them bells once again
afore | die" mused old Jonathan. "But
it amt likely I'll ever go back now"
Even while these disjointed meditations
passed through his mind there was
light step on the cabin threshold, and the
rustic of stiffly starched pink calico, and
his niece Dorothy came to the door.
'Tea's ready, uncle DEAR" said she.
"And I've baked real New England
corn bread, and some ginger-snaps, such
as grandmamma used to make. And see,
uncle, I've sliced up the little red peaches
from the tree you planted yourself on the
south side of the hill. Israel Esmayne
said it wouldn't grow, but it has. 1mean
to keep saucerful and little cream for
Israel tonight just to shoe him."
Old Jonathan laid down his knife and
fork
"Do you mean that Israel Esmayne is
coming here to-night?"

to recover teaspoon she had dropped
a spoon with an antique silver shell carv-
ed on its handle-and coming up very
rosy from the search. "Why not?"
"Take care, Dotty. That's allp'
"Uncle, what do you mean?"
'I mean, child, that I'd rather lay you
in your grave in the new burying- ground,
where there's only one mound yet in the
shadow of the church spire, than to see
you married to man who drinks! That's
what mean, Dotty" IN s#
Dorothy's head dropped over her plate.
"Uncle, that is hardly fair. Because a
man had bad habit once

The soft eyes glittered into defiant
flash.
'You are mistaken, uncle. Israel Es-
mayne has not touched drop of ardent

Jonathan Beers, although his tone betray-
a safe thing to do. It's madness, love of
liquor is, and nothing short. It's liable
to break out at any time. Israel Es-
mayne's good fellow enough. | hain't
anything agin him-but it amt safe"
Dorothy was silent. Why was it, she
asked herself, that men were so severe in
judging one another? Why did they al
ways look at the blackest and least prom
ising side of everything? Israel had prom
ised her. She believed him. And that
was enough. e T.
And while she tripped lightly back
and forth about her household duties, her
mind was full Of the underlined future.

? 2 THE ORPHAN'S PRAYER.

NOT many miles from here and e'en not many
- When all was bound in winter chains and covered
AS night came down upon the plain dark clouds
hung DER the earth,
And chilling winds swept DER the scene in wild and
cruel mirth. jazz.
A fair young child, with weary feet, from wander
At last 6ercome with WEAKNESS, sank down upon
the snow;
His tender form was thinly clad, though rough,
bleak winds swept by,
And froze upon his cheeks the tears that flowed so
mournfully. t
They tossed the curls far off his brow, back from
the eyes of blue,
That gave such looks of suffering from out their
azure hue; $50
Though none but God was near to mark the tears
that from them rolled,
While from his lips came oft the moan-'I am so
very cold"
A drowsiness came DER his frame, and soon he
ceased to weep, Et
And on the chilling snow he thought to lay him
down and sleep;
But true to holy teachings, first his evening prayer
he said,
And kneeng gently down, he clasped his stffened
hands and prayed.
my heavenly Father were the words that from
his pale lips came,
And many dark and dismal night his prayer had
been the same;
Please let die and take me TO the gentle SheD-
herds fold;
I want to go so very much, am so very cold
''Whcn mother died and went to heaven to be an
angel bright,
She said might come pretty soon; please let me
GO tonight;
] want to feel her dear warm arms again around
me fold;
Father! let me go to her, 1 am so very cold.''
There was a time whenc' 'er these same small hands
were clasped i'll prayer,
At dusky hour of cvenlde, another form was
there;
And ere these curls were laid to rest upon their
doWny bed,
A fathers hand in blessing lay upon that curly
head
There was a time when round this selfsame child
ish form were thrown
The thousand comforts, dear delights and guardian
The budding happiness of life shone on his care free
brow,
are those blessings now?
'TWas not the ocean storm that sank the father
Twas not foul disease that laid the mother in her
grave;
Twas not the raging flame that swept the pleasant
home away,
And turned the patient toll of years to ashes in
day.
Twas the demon of the wine cup set the fathers
brain on fire,
And plunged his soul and body into ruin, dark and
dire;
While drop by drop the life-blood oozcd from out
the loving heart
OF her who vowed to cling to him till death itself
should part.
And when her weary life was DER they laid her in
the ground,
And left her child in this cold world to wander up
and down.
And now alone with freezing form beneath the
wintry sky,
1t kneecd upon the cold, white snow and wildly
prayed to die.
When morning with her streaming light came
DER the eastern hill,
And flashed her beams across the plain she saw
him kneeling still;
And from the cold and parted lips came not one
trembling word;
The blue eyes raised to heavenward closed-the
Orphans prayer was heard.

''The Man in the Gallery" writes to the
Albany Times: a-.rs
A gentleman who now occupies a seat
in the upper branch, but at the time was
a member of the Assembly, relates the
following: r.
Perkins was as honest a man as ever
set foot in Albany Money wouldn't
buy him, and knew it, but / thought
would have little fun with him: so /
went down to his room one evening and
said, perkins, what do you think of the
underground railroad bill? Are you go
ing to vote for it?" ~ saH
"Well," said Perkins, II haven't
made up my mind yet exactly. / am
inclined to think it is a good bill; but
why do ask?" 1I....s-# 7a srs
II thought you were in favor of it,
and as long as you have concluded to go
for it, just wanted d to say to you that
the men interested in it are paying five
hundred dollars for votes, and as it is
coming up on its final passage tomorrow
you can just as well have the money as
not; you'll vote for the bill any
way.'' @s1
'iVote for the bill I'll be hanged first Pr
cried the irate Perkins. "No, sir. If
improper means are being taken to pass
this thing, as you say, I for one will vote
against it every time. You can putme
down no''
"Oh, don't care anything about the
bill; was only trying to do you favor,
and / think l can yet, for, to tell the
truth, the rival companies are here in full
force and are moving heaven and earth
to defeat it. They are paying the same
amount for noes and as long as you are
bound to vote that way, I'll get you fve
hundred dollars all the same"

THE NEW WORLD.

Gold closed in New York on the 21st at
116@116H. .,.~-r.... --
One thousand newly-converted Mormons
were landed in New York on the 18th, and an
other large company was expected.
1t is stated that Mrs. Walworth and her
younger son have taken up their residence in
Sing Sing village. By special request no visi-
tors will be allowed to see Frank, who has
commenced work in the private Office of tie
clerk of the shoe department.
The Industrial Congress of the United States,
composed of delegates from the various trades
organizations of the United States, met at
Cleveland ON the 18th. The attendance was
quite large, over one hundred delegates being
in attendance, representing 125,0OO trade and
labor union men. Permanent officers were
chosen as follows: President, John Feren-
bach, of Cleveland; Secretaries, s. Keefe,
of Philadelphia, and John schley, of Indian
apolis. ~
At the Nebraska State Sunday School Con-
yention. in session at Omaha on the 18th, there
were 16O delegates present from all parts of

This makes total for the year of ST.
432, 100, and taking into account the fact
that but a comparatively small proper
ton of the frauds committed are discov-
cred, the exhibit is truly serious one.
The Commissioners report states that
in New York the amounts realized by the
Government are mainly seizures, made
for the most part on board of vessels, of
goods imported from foreign countries.
The larger suits against prominent firms
of New York originate with the examina-
tion of invoices. Smuggling in small
articles is in that city also carried on to
considerable extent, amounting for the
last year to 100000.
During the year several suits not made
public, besides that of Phelps, Dodge &
Co., ran up to the hundred thousands.
The amounts resulting from these seiz-
ures are divided among the informer, the
Naval Officer and the Government, the
Government only receiving One-half, ex-
cept when the informer is revenue off,
cial, when the Government receives two
thirds. The Commissioner states that the
amount the Collector of New York has
received during the past year is about
$5O,0OO
In Boston the case is similar, with the
exception that smuggling is done on
lesser SCALE
The greatest difficulty experienced,
however, is in preventing smuggling
across the Canadian border. Smuggling
at the Southern ports is not in proportion
to the extent of the importations, owing
manly to the inaccessible character of
the coast.

While the ballot was being taken, when
Frederick county was called, Frederick J.
Nelson explained the vote of Frederick in
a speech Of some length, in which he stated
the delegation was opposed to comforting
third term of Office upon Mr.. Woolford,
who, if his experience fitted him now fol
the Office, at the expiration of two years
more he would be still better fitted, and il
would be creating life Office. The Dem
ocratic press was contesting this very thing,
and Gen. Grant was making an effort to
to ride into the White House on third
term nag. For the sake of the principles
of the party the delegation would vote for
Colonel Hent. rs +
The President announced the 'nomina-
tion Of Colonel Woolford amidst much ap-
plause, and on motion of F. Dorsey Her
bert, of Washington, the nomination was
made unanimous.
Then came the nominations for Clerk OF
the Court of Appeals, when Hon. A. J.
Crawford, of Wicomico, nominated J. T.
Briscoe, Of Calvert. P. w. Downs, of Car
oline, was nominated. J.F. G. Talbot, of
Baltimore county, nominated Thomas H.
Moore of Bait. CO. Daniel Clarke, of Pr.
Georges, nominated John B. Brooke, of
Prince Georges. John H. Handy, of Bal
timore comfy, urged the nomination of
Mr.. Moore. w. Frank Tucker, of Anne A
rnndel, nominated the present incumbent
of the office, James s. franklin. Fendall
Marbury Endorsed the nomination of Mr.
Brooke.
i On counting the ballots NO one appear
ed to have received the requisite number
of votes. The score being Briscoe II,
Downs 4, Moore SO, Brooke 12, Franklin
40, Charles county giving her three votes
to Franklin. ~.
The Convention then proceeded to the
second ballot, which resulted as follows:

Oar Nominees.

We place at the head of our columns
to-day the names of Col. LEVIN WOOL
FORD and JAMES 8. FRANKLIN, the
Democratic and Conservative nomi-
nees, respectively, for the Offices of
Comptroller of the Treasury and Clerk
of the Court of Appeals. The action
of the State Convention which assem-
bled IN Baltimore on Tuesday 10 an
unmistakable and most decided en-
dorsement of the manner in which
these two gentlemen have heretofore
discharged the duties of the offices for
which they have been now renominat-
ed. It is quite true that we, in COM
mon with the majority of our citizens,
were anxious to have the first place on
the ticket filled by that pure and dis
tinguished gentleman of st. Mary's, for
whom our delegates to the Convention
so faithfully labored, but our feelings
in this particular were authorized not
by any motive of hostility whatever to
Col. Woolford, but were rather inspir-
ed by neighborly allegiance to old
st. Mary's, in connection with the
claim of this section of Maryland to
a share in the distribution of the peo-
pies gifts. In this view of the case,
Col. Dent appeared to us the proper
man to put forth, and in this spirit
we were favorable to his nomination.
We bow to the behests of our duly &C
credited Convention and accept the
result of their action with the promise
of our best efforts in it's behalf.

Before the announcement of this ballot,
however, several of the county delegations
changed their votes from others to Frank
lin, and when the vote was announced Mr..
Franklin had seventy-seven. The re-nom-
ination of DIR. Franklin was hailed with
the greatest enthusiasm.
The committee on resolutions, through
Mr.. Waters, chairman, reported the follow
ing resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
ResolUedI That the Democratic Conservative
party of Maryland in convention assembled re-
affirms its adhesion to the long established
principles of the Democracy. 1t recognizes and
supports the legal constitutional authority of
the Federal Government, but insists upon a
strict construction of the Federal Constitution
as necessary to the preservation Of the reserved
rights of the States and people. 1t opposes CEN
tralization as the most insiduous and dangerous
enemy of popular rights, and will continue to
denounce it in every guise in which it may ap-
pear. It believes in the capacity.of the people
for self-government it insists upon equal and
exact justice to all men it isopposed to monop-
olies, and will prevent by every means in its
power all special legislation for the benefit of
particular interests, which may be injurious or
prejudical to the many, and is pledged to pro-
the prosperity of the whole people.
Resolved, That the several departments of
our Government, Legislative, Judicial and .Ex-
Bcutive, are independent in their several spheres
under the Contribution, and any attempt by any
one Of them to usurp authority is destructive Of
the Constitutional rights and Independence of
the others, and should be rejected as dangerous
to civil liberty.
b Resolved That our tariff laws, as adjusted
and enforced by the Republican party, are dis
eliminating and injurious to the masses, ard
