They were sitting alone on Saturday
evening. Hester had got everything ready
for their departure bright and early Mon.
day morning As she sat there, she fell to
wondering about Will. She had not heard
from him since she came to the city. Some.
how, he seemed to have drilted out of her
sphere Of life. She couldn't tell why
perhaps because her sphere Of life had
changed so She wondered what she should
DO when the money ,he picture had brought
was gone. Out in the country she didn't
expect TO ind much work to do. Winter
was coming by-aud-by, and she must dc
something toward getting ready for it. TIL,
look ahead was gloomy enough, because il
was so full Of uncertainty If she could
only know what to depend on, she could
tell what to do. But the trouble was
the same with her as with all Of us--shC
couldn't loresee what time would bring tc
pass
Hester could not tell why, but she had
never been so completely discouraged a,
she was that night She laid her head
down on her hands that her mother might
not see her and cried. There was steT
on tho stair, a knock at the door. She
went and opened it, and a man stood on the
| threshold.
Hester, Hester !" cried a CHEEKY, GLAD
voice, don't you know me?" aud two
strong arms we're around her before sh,
half comprehended what was taking place
aud Will was kissing her.
"0h, Will is it really you ?" she cried
" | have just been thinking Of you !" anC
then she just laid her head down on bis
shoulder and sobbed for very happiness.
By-and-by, when they were sitting to
gether, talking of the past and the present
he told her how he had returned to his ole
home and found that she was gone, ant
none of the old neighbors could tell hin
where TO look for her except "in the city. ,
Taking this uncertain clue, he had CONF
to the city and searched from one end Of i
it the other unsuccessfuly. He had near
ly given up the search in despair, thinking
that she had gone elsewhere when wha
should he happen to see that afternoon, il
a picure-dealer's window, but the dear oil,
picture Of Hester's? From the dealer h
had learned bor whereabouts and here h
was!
ON be back pretty soon" he exclaimed
suddenly, and went out Pretty soon h,
came back bringing the picture.
We'll mover let it 60, be said, kissing

A Costly Drink.

In the will of the late Hon. Thad-
deus Stevens, admitted to probate Aug.
II, 1868, IS the following eccentric
clause:
'If at the end of five years Thad-
deus, my nephew, shall show that he
has totally abstained from all intoXi-
eating drinks through that time, the
trustees may convey to him one-fourth
of the whole property. If at the end of
the next successive five years he shall
show that he has totally abstained from
all intoxicating drinks, they may convey
to him one-fourth, being one-half the
property. If at the end of another
consecutive five years he shall show that
he has abstained from all intoxicating
drinks, they may convey the whole to
him in fee simple. In case my nephew,
or rather the annuity of said Capt. Thad-
deus Stevens, of Vermont, should ex-
pire before he has enabled himself to
become entitled to the corpus or fee
simple of my estate, then l dispose of
whatever may remain as follows: If the
aggregate sum shall amount to $50, 900,
without which no further disposition
can be made, give itall to my trustees
to erect, establish, and endow house of
refuge for the relief of the homeless and
INDECENT orphans"
From the following paragraph, copied
from Pennsylvania paper, it appears
that the Orphan Home will be founded:
"The nephew of the late Thaddeus
Stevens having failed to comply with
the conditions of his will relative to
abstaining from the use of intoxicating
drinks, the executors are about to apply
the residue of his estate, estimated
variously from $4,000 to 100000, to
the founding of the Orphan Home in
Lancaster, Penn, designed by him in
case of such failure. The will provides
that no preference shall be shown in
respect to race, religion, or color in ad-
mission or treatment, and that all the
inmates shall wear the same style OF
dress and eat at the same table"

0akes Ames' Failure.

The New York Tribune, writing of
the life and death of the late Oakes
Ames, relates the following in regard to
his financial failure in 1870:
Another episode remains to be told.
In 1870 the Ames' failed, with liabili-
ties amounting to SS, 49S. 600 - the
largest any other American firm ever
had who suspended payment. Singu-
lar to say, it was their good luck which
led to the result. During the past
twenty years they accumulated wealth
rapidly. They supplied the Govern
ment with vast quantities OF shovels
and swords, realizing therefrom large
profits they engaged in making plows,
and became proprietOrs of a machine
company. All these transactions alb
sorbed large capital. but still the firm
met their obligations promptly until
Oakes Ames was induced to invest in
Southern Railroads.
Encouraged by the easy terms on
which he acquired these highways, as
well as impelled by the persistency
with which they were forced upon him,
he purchased largely, and suddenly the
Ames', for his transactions were en-
tangled by those Of the firm, found
themselves unable to meet their en-
gagements. They met their creditors
frankly; and a committee of the first
merchants of Boston appointed to ex-
anime their affairs, who Dan. 2, 1S71)
duly reported that the liabilities of all
the concern-Oakes Ames, Oakes Ames
& Sons, Ames Plow Co., and the Kins-
ley Iron and Machine Company, were
$S, 498,075, whereof Cakes personal
share was the immense sum of 81, 1856,
179. The committee announced at the
same time the gratifying fact that the
assets of all were $l5, ,237, 164, leaving a
balance of Sc, 739, ,0S9 in favor of the es-
tate. Cakes share of these assets was
SO, 7S1, ,9s6, showing that the old specu,
lator was worth So, 1886, 807 more than he
owed. Yielding to the advice of tlsl
committee, the creditors granted an ex.
tension of 6. u, Is and "a months, and
the business of the Ames' went on as
usual. The confidence thus evinced
was not misplaced. In brief period
of time-less than that granted-more
than half of the liabilities were settled
and the remainder rendered absolutely

A Tunnel through the Alleghanies.

Senators Casserly and Bayard, of the
U. S. Senate Subcommittee on Tans-
portation, have returned to Washing
ton from an extended trip along the ex-
listing and projected line of the Virginia
and Kanawha Canal from the James
river to the Ohio. They examined the
feasibility of tunnel of a mile through
the Alleghanies, and were assured by a
competent engineer that itcould be com
pleted in four years from the time the
requisite assistance was rendered by
Congress. Objection was made by
Senator Casserly to the mountain reser-
voir system, but the engineer believed
that it could be maintained for keeping
the canal supplied with water. The
rapid overflow of the Greenbrier river,
on the west side of the Alleghanies, it
was urged, could be overcome and made
navigable by dams and locks. The
Committee were impressed with the
vast mineral deposits along the banks
of the Kanawha and other streams run
ming into the Ohio, but have yet agreed
on no report to the full Committee on
this proposed interwater line route.
The cost of the completion of the James
river and Kanawha Canal has been esti.
mated already to Congress to be many
millions of dollars.
