GRATITUDE.
A Good Decd Brings 100000 to n
ElOrl0Q Man.

We find the following in a Jacksonville,
Florida, paper:
More than twenty years ago Major Waldo
A. Blossom, who is now in Jacksonville, was
resident of Washington. While there,
chance cast in his way a young man named
Larimer, in whom he became deeply inter-
ested. Larimer had been led astray by the
influence of wicked associations, and was
utterly dissolute and dissipated-to all APP
pearancc moral and physical wreck.
1t is more than probable that Major Bios
som discovered redeeming qualities in the
young man, Notwithstanding the depths to
which dissipation had brought him, tor the
"GOOd Samaritan rescued him from the
gutter. gave him pleasant home, assisted
him by counsel and the ail of fine social in-
tluences to make himself new man. After
his reformation was effected, the young man
returned to his parents, who resided in Col
orado, and for number of years his gener-
Gus benefactOr heard nothing of him.
In December of last year Major Blossom $
attention was called to an advertisement in
Il Boston paper. over the signature of LAR
imer,' inquiring the address of w. A. Bios
son. He responded to the inquiry. and
soon received letter from the parents of
his former protege, in CASTILLO county, Col
orado, informing him that their son, when
dying, had willed his property to him. in
gratitude for his kindness to him many
years ago.
The letter, which feelingly alluded to this
act, gave the sequel to the reformed man 8
life. He applied himself vigorously to busi-
ness after his return to Colorado, became an
honorable and useful member of society,
and in a few years amassed large fort'l;.e,
all of which, valued at 81, 900, will fall
into the possession of Major Blossom next
June
No act of genuine charity is ever lost.
Somewhere in the conservatory Of good
deeds the plant will pu: forth its blossoms
and shed its perfume, perhaps IN the balm
and brilliance of the eternal morning, per-
haps in the subducd light and murky at
mosphere of the mortal life.

Mr.. Summers Family.

Charles Sumner had three sisters The
brother lost at sea with Margaret Fuller OssOli
was Horace, younger than the Senator. More
than twenty-eight years ago Horace resided
for sometime in the family of Levi Bartlett,
OF Warner, New Hampshire. An older brother
of his, Henry Sumner, had had some cores
pOndcnce with Mr.. Bartlett about Horace
coming to live with him and learning to
farm. Finally, he cam" to Warner and busted
himself for two or tlree seasons with the
light work of the farm. He was slender
youth, quite the reserve of his stalwart broth
cr. Horace was of Il dreamy, poetic nature,
fond of reading and meditation, very little
inclined to practical business He was quite
whimsical, and one OF his oddities was to
keep letter which he might have received
from his mother. for instance. or any other
dear friend, for several hours, he in the
meantime specializing upon its contents.
After leaving Mr.. Bartlett he went abroad and
stopped at Rome for some time in company
with Margaret Fuller Ossoli and her husband.
The two latter, with their child, were coming
to America, End Horace embarked with them.
When almost within sight of home the vessel
was lost on the Long Island coast. with many
ON board, including the OssOli family and
Horace Sumner. Two sisters of Senator
Sumner died very near to each other, one
while Horace was in Warner. Several of the
Sumner family came to Warner while he re-
sided there. including his mother, his sister
Julia. and his brother Henry, who was
large, powerful man when in his prime; but,
at that time, he was the victim of pulmonary
complaint. ard died not many years after
ward, in Orange, N. J. Mrs. Sumner was a
distinguished looking lady, and proud of her
son Charles, who was then rapidly rising into
fame. once met Charles and Albert Sumner
at their home in Boston. Albert was splen-
did specimen of man, physically. Pretty
soon after this he started with his family for
Europe, but the vessel went down and nearly
all on board perishcd. Some, l think, were
picked up by another vessel, but Mr.. Sumner
and family were among the lost. Thus, of
large family of sons and daughters all have
passed away except Julia. now married and
living in California.

swept off by it, and runs through II hole in

Tilton's cross-examination before
the Plymouth Committee, published
in full this morning, throws much
light upon the charges. Tilton
stated that his wife had confessed
her guilt to her mother, Mrs. Judge
Morse, as well as to himself. Mrs.
Morse has appeared before the CON-
mittee and sworn to the contrary,
stating that her daughter came to
her with representations only of her
snfferings consequent upon the ire
Igious character of her husbands
chosen associates.
Tilton its understood has suggest
ed a mode of settlement of the diff
cuty at the present stage, but the
committee states their propose to
do with the whole affair and de-
clare there a be no settlement
until the withdrawal TiIton's char
ges against Beecher. 80
1t Is intimated that Moulton will
decline te testify before the commit
tee. 1t is stated that Beecher's de-
tailed statement win probably be
made tomorrow. ~
The committee expect to conclude
their labors within a week, and that
all necessary testimony will be Ia
ken by Saturday. The committee
will report to the church as soon
as their labors are completed, and
their full report will be published.
/ q Mrs. Tilton denies that she is pre-
q detailed statement for the
con- mittee, and that no such request
has been made, nor does she expect
to appear again as a witness before
the committee. ~. III
She will, however, either appear
and testify or submit another and
fuller statement. Triton states that
the document referred to by Mrs.
TiltOn in her statement as having
been prepared by him to submit to
the committee, was misconstrued
by her; it did not exonerate Beech
O as she claims, but de-
handed that Beecher acknowledge
the falsity of the statement of DR..
.acon's letter, also that he hos been
