"Speak, Richard Devine, and tell me,

"You do. Joe Crawford is innocent.

Nancy, filled wi h compassion, had
forced her way to his side, and stood
looking pityingly upon him.
"Great Heavens exclaimed the
wounded man, in agony, sis it Nora
Sherwood my wife, or am dreaming l
fancied she was lost in the Sea Wave
There is a mystery here. She had a
locket upon her neck-I mean my child
with the initials of her name upon it..

1t was,a disjointed sentence, for the
mans mind was evidently wandering.
Nancy was shaking with emotion.

from her bosom, and handing it to

"His, Great Heaven! l have found
my daughter only to-"
"To lose her." he would have said,

In his pockets were the papers that

Nancy Sheppard was, indeed, his daugh-

assumed the fortune that was rightfully

Joe Crawford did not leave the place
to seek his fortune afterward. He had
found it already in Nora Sherwood, in

Hope!

Hope is life, and we who LIVING
Have no hope, are as the dead,
Who in gloomy graves are sleeping
While the sun shines bright o er head
'Tis the source Of all ambition,
'Tis the life of every scheme,
In it we see the future
OF every prospect, every dream,
Hope will cheer the broken-hearted,
Soothing sorrow, curing pain,
'Tis the star of friends when parted,
For in it th, y meet again.
II is that which makes the future
Seem pathway bright and fair;
Lifting oft poor weary mortals
From the depths of woe and caro-,
Hope is Gods great gift from Heaveai
Radiance from higher sphere;
Priceless boon, in mercy given,
Helping us to do and bear.

SOMEHOW the proposition to raise the
Commissioner of Agriculture to the dig
nifty of Cabinet officer does not meet
with general approval. Both the press
and the public believe that Cen lie Due
is scattering seeds over the face of the
country with sufficient regularity and
they fail to acknowledge that making
him Cabinet officer and increasing his
pay accordingly would either improve
the character of the seed he sends out
or give the people more confidence in the
various theories which he delights to
expound and explain. Moreover
should General lie Due be made
Secretary of an Agricultural Department
of the Government, instead of Bureau
officer subordinate to the Secretary of
the Interior, it is feared that his promo
ton would encourage him to overrun the
country with noxious weeds. And then
there would be his annual reports-tons
upon tons of them-for the Post-otfice
Department to distribute from Maine to
California and from the Gulf to the
Great Lakes! Seriously, there is no need
of any more Executive Departments at
present, though not only an Agricultural
but an Educational Department also, is
advocated in certain quarters, with Mr.
Eaton, of New York, at the head OF
the latter. If these Departments are
necessary, then is a Mining and Metal
lurgical Department requisite, and a
Commercial Department. The mining
interests of the country are immense III
production, extent and importance, and
80 are the interests of commerce, domes
tic and foreign, and the latter are moi
fostered and protected by the Treasury
Department, which only licenses vessels

The Washington correspondent of a
New York paper gives to the public what
he calls "sickening rumor" which fills
the atmosphere of the Capital. 1t is
that an Administration move has been
made to have Mr. Justice Swayne leave
the Supreme Bench, to make room fol
the appointment of Senator Stanley
Matthews. and Senator Matthews being
Jay Gould's attorney, and the Pacific
Railroad being determined to fight the
new Funding Bill through all the court
of the known world if necessary, the cast
will be quite sure to sometime reacl

BIRD SYMPATHY.

Birds are loyal in defence of each other
when assailed by an outside foe. A friend
of ours once observed a maggie and rat
engaged in mortal combat. She ran home
and brought some men to the spot, who
found that meanwhile second magpie
had come to the assistance of the first
when the rat was slain in their sight.

ATTACKED BY WoLvEs,-The St. Cloud
(Minn.) Journal says: About 10 o'clock
last Saturday night, as Mr.. Miner, of the
town of Langola Benton County, was driv-
ing from his own house to Mr.. MorrilIss $,
having with him his wife and three child
ren. he was attacked by five large timber
wolves. The fierce beasts sprang at his
horses, and when Mr.. Miner struck at the
nearest one with his whip it made leap to
get at him. but struck against the wagon
box. At this moment Mr.. Miners dog
bravely attacked this wolf, and was set
upon by the whole pack and killed, and al
most devoured. This gave Mr.. Miner an
opportunity to whipup his horses and make
off, which he did alta full gallop, calling
out loudly for help. His cries attracted the
attention of Mr. Jocelyn and family, who
came to the rescue, and the wolves were
driven off. But for the fortunate interfer-
ence of the dog, theAesult might have been
much more serious. An attack of this kind
by wolves Is almost without precedent in
this part of the State, and it must be that
the animals were driven to it by ravenous
hunger.

The many-headed public, while some
times inclined to be exacting, is yet quite
indulgent toward its servants. A leni-
ent feeling is cherished toward Congress.
As a body, it has passed the limits of
healthy contempt. But almost every
body in the country has friend who is
member Of that body, or knows some
family who labor under the atiiiction of
being connected with a member, and the
consequence is that the country puts up
with the folly and worthlessness that is
exhibited. As body, it has brought
the art Of not doing those things that
ought to be done, and of doing those
things that ought not to be done, to per.
fectiOn.
