"What are you doing out this time
ofnight in the cold ~ asked slender
hearted policemen of little Mary. 1t
WAS midnight. The child was wan
dering through the streets OF Brook
lyn, In ragged calico dress. bare
headed, bare fsoted, and crying. II
Amt doing no wrong, but Pm cold
and hungry" "Where is your
home ~ II amt got no home in
particular my fathers off To sea,
and nay mother drinks and beats me
aud moves around. My names
Mary. Oh, Im SO very cold.r And
her teeth chartered SO hard you
could have heard them across the
street. my dear child" said the
patrolman-and tears rolled down
his manly cheeks, too--s'conae with
me; | Will see that you have some
thing to eat and place TO sleep this
night, 40 help me God. have a
little Mary who is just about your
size. Only think, ii sine should have
no home to go to- And they
walked together. He found out her
story. 1T had often been told--rum,
poverty, beggary and abuse. But
crime never came through such tears,
or was natural to such a silvery,
timid voice as asked for protection.
And the policeman's heart opened,
and his resolution came az he
felt the earnest clutch at his coat, ~
know about seine good ladies' Mrs.
Woodruff, Mrs. Coffin, Mrs. Mason
who have home for little girls
out on Atlantic Avenue, and I'll just
try and see what they'll do for you"
And Mary chung the tighter, and
this time cried Tor joy. Then 4 door
bell rang, and the gas was lighted,
and fire was kindled, and q supper
was got, and little Mary was put in
to soft bed for the first time in her
life, aud again cried, and cried her
self TO sleep, with very thankfulness.
The next day n carriage stopped at
the Brooklyn Orphan Asylum. A
good lady and n little girl nicely
chtt&Ned, and sweet ribbon in her
hair, got out of that carriage and went
up the steps Of that home for the
friendless. Little Mary was made
welcome by about two hundred other
girls and boys, as fatherless and
homeless rs she. A kiss-mutual
tears and good by--and the bene-
factress and the orphan parted. But
last night at the Academy we saw
blaek-eyed little Mary, with many
other ciIildren--5right, happy and
gay. And when she sang to that
crowd of people at the fair for
her benefit, her voice warbled praises
10 the kind policemen, and it iloated
upon the clear air to the heavens
above. He was there. His heart
was too weak with emotion tospcak;
but when he could say a word he
took the child in his arms and said:
This is the proudest work OF my
life. Blessed be charity" And all
who saw it, in their hearts said

we can keep the order out OF politics
Is the great question, and l predict
that that - the rock On which your
bark will founder"
Now, brothers of the Order, shall
this be so /? say, nay, verify. Now
Is the time for every true Patron to
stand firm to the fundamental prin-
cipIes Of our beloved Order; our
work Is too good, and Of too vast i'm
portance TO US all, to allow politics in
any way to swerve us from the path
OF rectifude. And I now predict,
that this agitation will only drive
all good and true patrons to the post
OF duty, where they will stand firm
and true. 1t is 10 be hoped that ev-
cry American citizen is or soon will
be aroused 10 "A true sense of his duty
az such, and that he will on all occa-
sions discharge that duty, ever casting
his weight and influence with the
interest of the laboring masses.
will here quote what one OF the
first two founders of our Order says,
1 mean Mr.. Sanders. He says,
speaking Of our Order, That ii was
EFDtihiig cupL'cSSh that ~ was VI
ganized to fight rnonopolies and to
control political action, but, that so
far from this being the case, il was
an organization of the Patrons OF
Husbandry, for purposes of simple
education and business, for instruct
ion in horticulture and agriculture,
and for economy and efficiency in
their private business transactions.
/ have always understood these to
be the fundamental doctrines Of our
Order. In them we have enough to
elevate us to that high and noble POI
sition God designed we should occu-
py. Throughtttbe educational part,
as contemplated by its founders, we
will become aroused to the impor-
lance Of having our say AS to who
our servants shall be, and in taking
part in the selection OF all, from those
Of the least to those Of the most inn
portant in the land. In my opinion
this is right, and just what each man
owes to his fellow man, and no man
should he denounced for taking an
active part in election Of all officers
of our Government.
