And yielding to a sudden and irresistible
impulse, she bowed her face upon her hands
and wcpt.
"Why does the Sonora cry" asked soft
voice near her, and looking up she encounter
ed Piccioa's loving and wisttul gaze, as the
young girl drew near her side "llas any
evil happened?'
"No, Picciola," replied her mistress, check.
ing the uncaledtor tears. 81 do not myself
know what troubles me but feel very sad
to-day"
"It is not good to be sad" said Picrola sha-
king her head. "Ifwe think of misfortune we
may make it happen"
"Who told you SO - ask ked Esther.
l used to hear my grand say so-and

"That is only superstition" said Esther
"Come, will not be sad any more Let US 60

"God help me !" said Esther, sinking down
in despair 81 am tied hand and foot can

"Sehora. you can pray" said Picciola in a
timid voice "You have taught me that the
good God hears our prayers Do you not be-

"Pray! have prayed, morning, noon and

now, Picciola, and l will listen to you. Pray
that l may not lose my faith in the mercy of
Heaven, whatever may happen!'
Picciola sank upon her knees, and in fal-

that God would send the Senor home, or COM
fort her dear mistress in her trouble, and make
her feel that He knew best what was right

A Few CONCLUDING WORDS.

Ed. Monitor To show to you that
am not neglectIng my business for poll
tics, / take the liberty of forwarding to
you few results of my work in the
form Of fruit which will. think, dem
onstrate that fine apples can be grown
in Orleans county.
But l would like the liberty of add
ing few brief paragraphs in reply to
the point Of your last editorial:
First, As to the possibility of fighting
the rebellion on a specie basis-that, of
course, is matter of opinion but, as
con6rmatory of the fact that it might
have been done without any worse (or
as bad results as have actually follow
ed, refer to the history of innumerable
wars fought to an end after years Of
struggle, without the aid of any of the
new-fangled financial devices which
however fattering in the beginning, end
every time in just the general prostra
ton that our country now suffers.
Second, In reference to Mr. Tilden'
1850 letter quoted by you. / ask you i
It is not substantially in accord, as re
CARDS the rights of slavery under tn
constitution. with the republican plat
form on which Mr.. Lincoln was elected
and with Mr.. LincOln's inaugural 1

shot at Sumter, that any other cours
was rendered lawfully possible; an

LETTER FROM NEW YORK..
NEW York, Sept. 5, 1876.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 1876.
Special Correspondence.
After quite long period of COMPARE
tive immunity from fire, the regular fall |
season Of confagration has commenced
this week, when more disasters of this
nature have been reported than for two
months past. The losses which have
been mostly on large warehouses and
manufactures aggregate several hundred
thousands and as the losers were as
rule well insured, the insurance compa-
MES are making some very wry faces
over the untimely commencement of their
winter troubles.
AT the date of Sept. 1st the ostracis-
ed oyster raises his neglected head and
smiles upon us with that jaunty and
sprightly manner which is peculiarly his
characteristic. For four long months he
has been banished from good New York
society, and left to pine in unnoticed sol
itude, but the moment VIC have got rid
of the last of those R-less months. which
he hates as the old Scratch does holy
water, he reappears among US, looking
as fresh (and tasting as salt as ever. A
nice fellow is the oyster. | met him
down in Fulton market this morning for
the first time this season. He greeted
me with the easy assurance of an estab-
lished favorite and on my congratulating
him on his fine appearance, he replied
that he supposed that he did not look il
but really he had been in bed all sum-
mer. Such joke as that felt could
not be overlooked. even in an old friend
r so seizing a fork that lay near plung
ed it into him and-well, he will new
g err joke again.

THE ELECTION.

Vermont has spoken, and to the coun-
try she declares her unwavering faith in
the great party of progress and freedom.
notwithstanding the great effort of the
democracy to reduce our majority, and
the base attempt of leading democratic
paper and editor to blacken the name of
Horace Fairbanks, he is elected by a.
900 majority on largely increased vote
of both parties. Every senator, every
county officer and nine-tenths of the
House of Representatives are Republi-
cans. All the large towns that slipped
in and elected Democrats two years ago,
are redeemed, and only in Bennington
is Il Democrat chosen where the town is
republican. The result is gratifying,
and shows that Vermont endorses Hayes
& Wheeler, and will give them a large
majority in November.

The war in Europe is assuming more
Importance and there is no doubt of the
fact that Russia is aiding and encOurag-
ing the opposition to Turkey. Many
Russian officers are aiding the servians,
and the massacre of some of them Is cal
culated to call down the vengeance Of
the greatest power of Europe. Whether
the other great powers will allow Russia
to step in and fight Turkey is a questiOn
of some doubt. Should they object, a
war like that which was fought about
the savastopol, several years since, may
be the result.

FAREWELL, SUMNER.

The receding sun, the cool morning
air and the sere leaf tell Of autumn, and
the end of the summer Of 1876. Born
out Of winter, without the usual advent
Of q mild spring, summer came during
the last days of May, and from that
time until the last Of August the heat
Of the sun was intense and hotter wealth
er has rarely ever been seen. Early
rains and warm days and nights brought
vegetation forward to a rapid ripening,
and the harvest was nearly completed
in August. The crops in this vicinity
are full an average, while in the county
at large they are immense. As autumn
approaches, Notwithstanding the diver
sion Of attention on account Of presiden-
tial election and the Centennial exhibit
ton, business is improving in the great
cities, and there is an encouraging out
look, not witnessed since 1878. The
great trunk railroads are burdened with
grain and produce coming from the west
to be exchanged for the manufactured
goods Of the east. The cry of hare
times is disappearing, and we are passing
out Of the era of depression into a peri
cd Of prosperity.
The harvest ended, next comes tn
preparation for the long and severe win
ter that will face us very soon. Their
will be none too much time for the worl
before US, and it should be remembers
that rain, mud and poor weather will b
the rule, not the exception, from tn
middle of September until winter.

The New York Democrats are in trou-
bic because Horatio Seymour refuses to
accept the nomination of governor, fiat
teringly bestowed upon him by the Dem
Ocratic convention, which adjourned be-
fore receiving his acceptance. A new
convention is to be called. but HOratio
seems to be the only man that has an
accorded strength sufficient to carry the
State against Morgan. the Republican

the surplus premium instead of going
into costly real estate, as in the case of
other companies, being held as trust
fund returnable with interest on the
surrender of the policy
These are strong common sense ideas,
and even without the warm endorsement
which they have received from eminent
experts would have won on account of
their own merits and of their source,
Mr.. Romans being probably the highest
American authority on the subject. For
eighteen years actuary of the largest
company in the world, the author of the
celebrated Contribution Plan" and of
much valuable insurance literature, no
man stands higher in his speciality and
while he is very properly felicltated on
his elevation, the company over which
he presides is still more an object of
congratulation.
Two more plays have appeared this
week upon the boards of the Fifth Ave-
nue. and Union Square theaters respect
lively. Both are new to the season and
one to the city. At the former theatre
Mr.. Sothern drops the excruciating i'd
ocy of Drundreary for the polished wit
of david Garrlck" in which his success
is no less than that of his world renown-
ed speciality. The Onion Square was
reopened on the 2Sth inst with Bret
Harte's 1.-Two Men of Sandy Bar" in
which attempt at dramatization Mr..
Harte has made failure as dismal and
discouraging as his literary work hereto
fore has been brilliant and successful.
The Mighty Dollar and Sardanapalus
hold their own and more too, the latter
crowding the spacious amphitheatre of
Booths at every performance. This
piece is great favorite with Don Car
los, who is yet among us. A few eve
nings since l saw him there in prosce-
mum box decorated with the Spanish
colors, accompanied by his suite, who
with one exception were very ordinary
looking set. The Pretender himself is
young looking man of less than thirty
years, with black moustache and impe
rial, and tall but somewhat STOPPING fig
ure. One would hardly take him for ;
foreigner and still less does he look lik,
the man to carry on such struggle a

He has been much annoyed during

Z tectives supposedly in the Spanish ser

lice for relief therefrom. But so lon

work ont no practical or salutary reform. Reform is necessary
 even in the higher grades of pub lie service. President, Vice Pres ident, Judges, Senators, Repre- sentatives, Cabinet officers these and all others in authority are the peoples servants. Their offices are not . private perquisite
 they are q public trust. When the annals of this Republic show disgrace and censure of a Vice President, q late Speaker of the House of Representatives mar keting his rulings as presiding officer; three Senators profting by their votes as law makers; five Chairmcn of the leading Commit tees of the late House of Repre- sentatives exposed in jobbery; q late Secretary of the Treasury forcing balances in the public accounts; late Attorney General misappropriating public funds; q Secretary of the Navy enriched and enriching his friends by q percentage levied off the profits of contractors with his depart. ment; an ambassador to England eensured in a dishonorable spec ulation; the Presidents private secretary barely escaping conyic- tion upon trial for guilty compile itv in frauds upon the revenue; T Secretary of War impeachcd for high crimes and mlsdemeanors-- the demonstration is complete that the first step in reform must be the peoples choice of honest men from another party, lest the dis ease of one political organization infect the body polite, and lest, by making no change of men or parties, we get no change of measures and no real reform.
