GREESBAcxs AND GoLD.-The great fact
should be made prominent that the United
States, strong enough financially to borrow
hundreds Of millions at FIVE per cent; has
actually promissory notes floating about and
quoted at Oh cents on the 100. The Bos:
ton Journal Of Commerce we'll says that
we can pay them or bring them to par if we
choose; and the first step to wipe out an
evil is resolutely to look it in tile face and
acknowledge its existence. Hence the
masses who can complacently sec gold quoted
at 1904, would, If the press powerfully
presented to them the fact that the green;
back dollar was worth 919 cents on the 100;
demand of their representatives that it be
made good for 100 cents. And this very
feeling would appreciate the currency to
nearly par in gold. Capitalists would hast
en- to invest by purchasing at discount
money that would soon be at par, and thus
the desired end would soon be accomplished:

HETTY MARVIN.

When the British and Tories attacked
New London, Connecticut in IL, and set
price on the head of Governor Grswold,
the latter fed to the town Of l., where
his cousin, Mrs. Marvin, hid him. for some
days, in a secluded farm house. But at
length the subtle foe discovered his retreat;
and one sunny afternoon in May he was
routed from bis hiding-place, by The tidings
that band Of horsemen were approaching to
capture him.
His only chance of escape was to reach
the mouth of little creek. which emptied
itself into the Connecticut River. just above
the entrance of the latter into Long Island
Sound. There he had boat stationed,
with two faithful attendants hidden beneatl,
the high banks of the creek. The distance
from the farmhouse to the boat, was two
miles by the usual travelled road. But a
little sheep-path across the farmers orchard
would bring him to the road only mile
from the boat; and save quarters length
of his fearful run for life.
just where the narrow path from the
orchard opened into the road, Hetty Marvin
sat with her dog Towser, tending the bleach
ing Of the household linen. The long web
Of forty yards, or more. which was diligently
spun and woven during the long Winter
months, was whitened in May, and thus
made ready for use. The business ol
bleaching was well economical, being usual
ly done by the younger daughters Of the
family, who were not old enough to spin, OF
strong enough for the heavier work Of the
kitchen or dairy.
The roll Of linen was taken by the farmer
or bis stout "help" to a grassy plat, beside
spring or meadow brook. There it was
thoroughly wetted and spread upon the
green turf, to take the best heat Of the sun
by day, and the dew at night. The little
maiden who tended it would cit near it.
Thus sat Hetty Marvin, the young daugh-
ter of Governor Griswold's cousin, when her
hunted friend sprang by her, into the road,
to escape from his pursuers. Hetty was
timid child of about twelve years; yet
thoughtful and wise beyond many Of her
elders. She was frightened by the headlopg
haste with which the Governor rushed across
the meadow. But she quietly comprehended
the scene and instantly quieted her faithful
Towser, who, though a friend If the family
guest, thought it becoming to bark loudly at
bis hurried steps.
Her wise forethougbt arrested the Gov
ernor's notice. and suggested scheme TO
delude bis pursuers.
Hetty. said be, earnestly, : am flying
for my life; and unless can reach my boat
before ! am overtaken. l am . lost man.
You SEQ the road forks here. But you must
tell those who are chasing me. that have
gone up the road to catch tbt mail wagon.

The signal recalled the boat. which. sf-

quietly made his way 10 the fivet il safety.

The LADY.BU9 AND THE ANT.


bY xRs. sIoouxNrY.
The lady-bue ut In the roses heart,
Aud smiled With pleasure and scorn. M
As she saw plainly dressed ant 60 by.
With heavy grain Of corn. 20
So she drew the curtains of damask round,
And adjusted her silken nest,
Making her glass Of drop Of dew
That lay in the roses breast,
Then she laughed 20 loud that the ant looked q
And seeing her naughty face.
Took no more notice, but travelled on
At the same industrious pace.
But sudden blast Of Autumn came.
And rudely swept the ground.
And down the rose with the lady-bug fell,
And scattered its leaves around.
Then the houseless lady was much amazed,
And knew not where to go.
For chill November's early blast
Had brought both rain and snow.
Her wings were chill and her feet were cold,
And she wished for the ants warm cell;
And what she did when the Winter came,
I'm sure cannot tell.
But the careful ant was in her nest,
With her little ones by her side;
And she taught them all, like herself, to toll,
Nor mind the sneer Of pride.
And I thought as sat. at the close of day,
Eating my bread and milk, ~e
It was wiser to work and improve my time,
Than be idle and dress in silk.

Yet this grim sybil maugre,
won't give up my suit, but will
Consult another augur.

Doth turn to pine for you!

her rendition of the character was simply

last time ri 4 z s
There was no riotous applause, but that

ment and pleasure pr rayailed In all parts Of
the house. The tragedy Is farniliar to the
play.goers here. The thrilling and deeply
interesting scene in the forest Of Foehsrin-
gay although an historical anachronisml

and perfect beauty. The great actress was
really sublime. One might have heard
o pin drop, $50 great was the stiffness
which prevailed and SO profound the atten-
tion she received. Indeed, In "a word, we
may say that Madame Janausehek is the
liDeal and legitimate continuance of such
other unparalleled artistes as Rachel and
Ristori. She stands by herself alone in her
line, and it is to the honor of the lovers OF
the Legitimate Drama in Richmond that they
will always sustain genuine art; for whether
it be Patti or Janauschek, the houses will be
crowded where real merits offered and re-
cognized.
'The company, we may soy, is good, and
yet it lacks strength. 1t may be that.We are
too apt to compare the great actress with her
support. Be this as it may, none could
have left the, building last night without hav-
ing been pleased-nay, impressed. Morti-
mer,Ras very fine, the Leicester was bold,
and the Elizabeth as she ought to be-weak.
But we have said enough. Surely there are
few who will deny themselves the great
pleasure Of witnessing the wonderful-nay
Misunderstanding of this tragedienne.
Tonight Chesney Void is announced, in
which Janauschek excels. OF course the
house will be crowded.
