ICEHANDIC EMIGRATION TO ALAS.

M.
The Government has received information
of the proposed visit of Commission of Ice
landic Emigrants to Alaska, with view OF
inducing emigration there of Icelandic and
Norwegian people, if the result of their in
specton is favorable. Both the President
and Secretary Fish are interested in this
movement, and are DESTROYS of furthering its
objects, The matter was referred TO the
Secretary of the Treasury, who finds that
there is at present no revenue cutter available,
in which the first instalment of emigrants,
some three hundred in number, could be cal-
red to the territory. The Secretary suggests
that the Navy Department order a naval ves-
sci, subject to the wishes of the Commission,
for this purpose.

Abiding to the White Mans party move
ment in some sections of the South, the
New Bedford Standard says: Ignorant
as they (the negroes) were, it was only to
have been expected that they should have
made mistakes, Such are part of their
civil education. But the attempt to de-
prive them of their rights because of their
mistakes must fail, and will only tend to
unite the North in support of the colored
people. They will learn by experience to
correct their erroneous financial notions,
and to improve in their management OF
offices; and the white men should do bet
ter to concliate and to educate them than
TO keep up those old notions of the times
before the war, the persistence in which is
the greatest bar to their quiet and harmo.

A GLANCE RESUL rs.

The results of republican administration
since the war have been gratifying to all
our citizens except the chronic fault-find-
ers. Coming through the war with an
immense debt upon the nation, with our
currency sadly deprecated. with the
southern States totally disorganized, and
the nation suffering everywhere in its
commercial and industrial concerns by
the effects of the iaternecine struggle in
which we were engaged, we have made
long strides in the direction of overc ON
ing the evils thrust upon us. Briefly stat
ed the following are some of the results
attained under republican rule:
l. The debt imposed by Democratic
treason reduced 1882, 375 ,01S,S5 in five
years and four months.
2. The financial power and credit of
the Government advanced more than thir-
ty-three per cent.
3. The per capita expenditures for Gov
eminent service, upon a gold and peace
basis, reduced below the cost of any Dem
ocratc administration within the last thir-
ty years.
4. The expenditures for governmental
purposes, except those chargeable to the
rebellion and to permanent and produc-
tive improvements. have been steadily re-
duced.
Tho f,,anbaptna1
mercial, and agricultural interests of the
people favorably progressing, and our
citizens better clad. subsisted, and paid
than those of any other country.
6. Laws repealed which provided for
the annual levy and collection of more
than 100000, 900 of taxes; the products
of industry and necessaries of life relieved
from further imposition. The remaining
charges for suppressing the Democratic
rebellion to be betrayed by imposts and
taxes on luxuries mainly.
Z. Measures have been instituted by
which the facilities for Interstate com.
merce are to be increased to the advant-
age of products of industry.
s. The reduction of $685. 10000 in the
principal of the public debt will save to
the people annually 100000, 900 in the
outlay for interest.
Q. The better protection of immigrants
in their transit across the ocean and after
their arrival in the country, has been pro-
vided for by appropriate legislation.

Mrs. Astor on Thursday evening of last
! week. In these hard times the Astors
are occasionally liberal in their bene-
factions. For instance there was ban
quet for twenty-four given at the Astor
mansion the other day and in front of
each lady's plate there was for her a
gift of costly bonboanier, exquisitely
wrought with precious stones, and about
the size of an ordinary snuff box: and
each lady was also presented with a
bouquet, gotten up in a fashion not to
to be described. The New York Times
has for some months past been trying
to make fuss oyer the fact that Astor
manages to evade the payment of large
proportion of the taxes on his vast pro-
perty by method which is known as
the vacation of assessments" According
TO the 1inads this system is regularly
practiced by the richest men of New
York. On the evening i'm which the
diamond display here described was
made in the Fifth Avenue mansion, the
starving masses in the wretched quarters
OF the city were swarming around some
two or three hundred soup-houses and
charity places, while between eight and
nine thousand homeless women and men
were huddled for the night in station
houses or still more miserable free re-
sorts, and not few tried TO keep warm
Dy crawling into ash-barrels or sinking
into area ways. The money of the Astors
is their own, and the sufferings of these
miserable wretches is their own.

A complication of annoyances arise
from defending friend who is not de-
serving. He who screams guilt, of
friend or foe, becomes party to the
crime, which sooner or later comes
home in some shape. Friendship is
made a scapegoat for many things un-
worthy to stand under its noble signifi-
cation. No one enters upon a defense
of another, which is not based i'm Justice
and truth, who does not expect to en-
counter the frowns of the world. That
is easy to endure compared to the other
ordeal which generally follows. The
track of ingratitude lies close to such
friendships, and those who exert them
selves most for others feel its thrusts.
who has not loved friend, it cost
much to cast away from belief and con-
fidence? Yet it is easier to relinouish
when proven unworthy, than to cherish
and hold fast to that which YOU know is
untrue and impnre, simply because the
heart rules the judgment. Not more
deadly is the shade of the Upas tree
than is it to sit under the spreading
branches of friendships which spranS
from false or unsteady roots.
How the sting poisons and aches when
friend, for whom you have almost
criminated yourself to Justify and
shield from weakness and criminality.
turns and lashes you with slander and
misrepresentation. What more can
you expect from such a person? Thank
yourself for much of the SUFFERING from
such sources. Generosity does not con-
sist in sacrificing the conscience and all
sense of propriety, to overlook the con-
duct OF friend. Let everybody stand
on their own record. Ii it comes to a
point blank decision between a false
hood to conceal the faults of others. and
an exposure which brings disgrace upon
them, it is hard to say let the truth come
no matter what the result-but it is
right and in the end viDdicatess every
one who deserves well.
Tell lie to protect dear friend and
he or she will slander you for the inten-
ded kindness. A person who must be
protected against his or her own acts for
the sake of respectability is not one w4io

friendship or the obligations of graft

Cut aloof from such people the mo-
ment you find they are dangerous, nor
delay nome MT against the admonitions
OF your best sense of right, for the stain
of associatlng with them will blot the
records of years after you finally give
them up, and ill you with painful re-
grets.
There are so few who understand
what it is to be true friend, that safety
counsels to guard against any very inti-
mate acquaintance. 1t is wise to keen
back the proof sheets of your life from
the scrutiny of the world. Many peo-
pie would sum up better in final reck-
oning if they could escape the eve of
God, but that is impossible.

CHAPTER XII.

The end must come. Let me hasten
to it.
L sit once more in my little cottage: !:
Margaret sits opposite. We are very 81
lent; we have not got used to tn at
change which our black dresses show.
She will put off hers in due time for
marriage white; / shall wear mine for
some time-that is, until they dress me
in the simpler garment which no one
ever lays aside.
We have lost him-I have lost him for
little while, "a little while!' 1t is so
comforting, so comfortable to repeat the
words, that 1 shall not dwell upon the
loss itself, except to narrate circum-
stance which occurred on the night be-
fore his departure, which l have often
thought of afterward.
1t was my turn to sit up with Alwyn;
there was no one in the room but me.
He was not sleeping, but lay quite still, ,
with his eyes open, looking earnestly on
the curtains at the foot of the bed.
They were looped up, with just space
enough between for a person to stand.
He lay so long, with his eyes steadily
fixed that at last l spoke.
'Alwyn, if L move the night-lamp,
would you try to sleep?'
No. Hush!'
what are you looking at?'
He made 70 answer for minute ;then
turning. heaved deep sigh.
You should not have spoken. She is
gone now
sWho?'
'Marjory.'
1 was greatly startled. Not that L dis

tations to be at least possible. But in

we're attack than he had several times
recovered from, it seemed almost like a
| supernatural warning.
Are you sure it was no fancy? Have
| you seen her before?'
Not for thirty years, until now.
These five nights she has come and
stood there
He pointed to the foot of the bed.

She is as young as ever, while l.
Alas, his white head, his withered
palsied hands!
| While he was speaking, Mrs. Reid
and Margaret came in, and we ceased
talking.
| They wished me to go to bed: but a
foreboding, impossible to conquer, kept
me in Alwyn's room during the night.
At six in the morning my brother
died.
His wife, his sons, and daughters,
were all surrounding him on either side
of the bed. AT its foot no one was
standing Just when we thought he
was gone, he opened his eyes and fixed
them steadily there.
'Mar-Ma--' He tried in vain to ut
ter the name.
Go to him, Margaret, my love!' sob

father
lie heard, and family turned to re-
ceive the embrace of his wife and daugl-
ter. Then turning away from both, and
stretching his hands with bright dy-
ing smile to the place where no one
stood, faltered out distinctly. as if an
swering to call, the words:
| Yes, Marjory.'
| He never spoke again.
| THE END.
