He was travel-stained and weary, and
his eyes had a far-otf, wistful look, as
though he knew that rest was not for him
below, let his tired heart crave it never so
much. And US he humbly asked the lady
of the house for morsel of food his ven
cradle appearance and evident want
aroused all her womanly generosity, and
she presently set the poor tramp down to
the remains of the family dinner
"Poor old man. she murmured sympa-
thetically as she saw him lean back in his
chair, leaving his food untouched on his
plate, "he is too weary to eat''-and she
asked him If he felt ill.

was out of Wooster sauce,' but Mrs.

nice pickles, observing with the faintest
trace OF sarcasm in her tones that if she'd
known that he was coming she'd have
looked out for something better.

luxuries of which he spoke.
But Mrs. McC. was rather too far gone
suitable answer, and so the weary old
man, with mournful sigh, went on eat
ing, and developed most singular and
wonderful appetite, which was gradually
appeased as the four pound piece of beef
was reduced to mere shapeless fragment,
and the last boiled potato had vanished
from the dish.
IL hope you've made dinner" ejacu-
lated Mrs. McC., in fine irony.
"Wall, yes'm; I've eat wuss wittals,'
said the old mendicant, with deep humili-
ty, as he pushed his chair back from the
table, and appeared to seek something on
the floor.
"What is it you're lookin' for ~ de-
manded Mrs. McC., with snap in her
voice that reminded one of the slamming
down of the lid of chest.

except the SAT 900 deficiency, which robbery
they think was committed by some one con.
nected with the department.
THERE are now on the Government rolls
the names of 22S,O34 pensioners, decrease
of 4,S1l since last year. The amount paid
out in 1874 was $1,2225, 1000 less than in the
previous year.
A NUMBER of journeymen printers, under
the authority of the Washington Cd. CO. Typo

ministration is a distinction which argues an un-
common degree of merit. People may well say
that since the Secretary has accomplished so much
in the midst of so many cmbarrassments he would,
were the great powers of the Executive office
placed ia his hands, reform the Government in all
its branches. 1t would not be fair to Mr.. Blaine
to say that all the republicans who desire reform
are supporting the Secretary 1t is true, however,
that the reform element throughout the country
as body is turning its eyes toward Mr.. Bristow
as the coming man, not from any dlstrust of his
rival but from admiration of the Sccretary's et
forts to bring thieves TO justice. Mr. Bristow's
way to the goal Of the nomination is, however, as
uncertain that of his competitors. lie come,

power TO push it. so long before the convention

The lettermissive calling for an Advisory Council
in regard to Plymouth Church was presented and
adopted. After it was adopted Mr.. Beecher said :
~ don't suppose there has ever been man in
America who has ever been SO much tried as |

subjected to such fire Of newspaper criticism for
so long lime as l was. And then was tried by
large committee of the church, the investigation
extending during two months. Every available
source OF information the committee ayailed itself
Of, and was acquitted. And then was tried for
six months with as able counsel as ever confronted

The article from the Tribune in relation
TO the Presidency, being written from an
independent standpoint, will excite
large attention. 1t is not in all respects
entirely just to Mr.. Blaine, but is general
ly fair and candid. All will agree with
the article that Mr. Bristow is discharging
the duties of Secretary of the Treasury
with marked ability and fidelity. But in
its allusion to his coming from a Southern
State the Tribune touches Il point which
will trouble Mr.. Bristow as candidate
for the Presidency. The North has not
forgotten its betrayal by Andrew johnson.

Milford Pa July 16-The final sur
vey for the Lehigh and Eastern Rail
road is now being made and the work
of grading will shortly be commenced.
The new road will run from Hazelton,
Pennsylvania, to about one mile east of
Port Jervis, New York, where it will
connect with the Erie. The distance
of the new route is ninety-eight and one
half miles, and runs from Hazelton over
the Pocono Mountains crossing the
Delaware, Lacawanna and Western
Railroad west of Sroudsburg, thence
passing up the Delaware Valley to Port
Jervis. The route is a comparatively
easy one to build, and S. p. Kase,
president of the road, states that &c..
100000 is sufficient to buid, equip and
put the road in running order. As
soon as the survey is finished the work
| of grading will be begun.

Cooperation in Building.

Hon. Josiah Quincy, in a letter
printed 10 the Boston Advertiser, says:
A number of ermans who were accus-
toned in their own country to a system
Of cooperation, purchased tract of
land in Dedham. Ten of them erected
houses for their own use. A separate
mortgage for about $4,000 was taken
on each house to secure a joint and
several bond signed by the ten owners,
by which they agreed to pay So a week
into savings bank to the credit Of the
mortgage and trustee. One-balf of
each deposit is enough to pay the inter-
est semi-anuually at seven per cent,
and the other half goes on interest, with
certainty that in few years it will
pay the principal and leave the houses
unincumbered. On the FIRST days oil
January and July the mortgagers have
sent their ,deposit books to the trustee
and mortgage, who has drawn the
semi-annual interest and returned the
books with their accumulations to the
owners, every payment increasing his
security, and the association taking
only the risk that every holder of real
estate takes who leases his property.
Ten or more industrious and temperate
men, who bad confidence in one
another, might form such an association
with peculiar advantages. They might
chose their locality either together or
separately, giving excellent security
that they would pay their interest
serni-annually aud the principal in a
fxed time.
