LITTLE HARRY's LETTER.

A postman stood with puzzled brow
And in his hands turned DER and DER
A letter, with address SO strange
As he had never seen before.
The writing cramped, the letters small.
And by boys rough hand engraven.
The words ran thus: "To Jesus Christ"
And underneath inscribed. I'm Heaven
The postman paused; full well he knew
No mail ON earth this note could take;
And yet Twas writ in childish faith,
And posted for the dear Lords sake
With careful hand he broke the seal,
And rev'rently the letter read;
Twas short and very simple too,
For this was all the writer said:
"My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,
I've lately lost my father dear,
Mother is very, very poor,
And life to her is sad and drear.
Yet thou hast promised in thy Word
That none can ever ask in vain
For what they need of earthly store,
If only asked in Jesus's name.
"And so write you in his name,
To ask that you will kindly send
Some money down; what you can spare
And what is right for us to spend.
Iwant SO much to go to school;
While father lived | always went,
But he had little, Lord, to leave,
And what he left is almost spent.
II do not know how long twill be
Ere this can reach the golden gate;
But viii try and patient be,
And for the answer gladly wait"
The tidings reached that far-off land,
Although the letter dad not go,
And straight the King an angel sent
To help the little boy below.
Oft to his mother he would say,
Il knew the Lord would answer make
When he had read my letter through,
Which had sent for Jesus sake!"
All! happy boy, could you but teach
Our heart to trust our Fathers love,
And to believe where aught's denied
IT'S only done our faith to proVe

Ulysses 8. Grant. Jr., Boss Shepherd and
John I. Davenport Take In the T0svn-NO
Truth SN the RatsMOr of Police IntesTer-
ence. ~ A4 lGE E8#aaS 49,
The Boston Herald of the 18th contained
the following dispatch from New York:
Theodore Allen, the somewhat famous
gambler and Republican politician, lately
opened large and gorgeous pretty waiter
saloon on Blocker street, near Broadway.
Last night Ulysses 8. Grant, dr., and ex-Gov.
Shepherd, of Washington, were in the city
and John /. Davenport, the federal SUPER
visor of elections, took them out to see New
York by gaslight. They visited Aliens
place after midnight. AZ O'Clock the doors
were closed, in compliance with the excise
law, but The distinguished party remained
inside until much later. It happened. on
Saturday evening that the police had one of
their periodical spasms. of enforcing the law
against the sale of liquors in variety theatres,
and Harry Hill, whose show is close to
Aliens, was notified to cease business. This
led to a rufnor That police raid was to be
made on Allen for the express purpose of
catching Grant, Shepherd and Davenport,
and it is said that they were panic stricken
for while.
This evening reporter was instructed to
inquire into this piece of news. He dis
covered that Boss Shepherd and Ulysses 8.
Grant, Jr., did start on Saturday night to
see New York by gaslight. They were under
the protection of John I. Davenport and q
Central Office detective, who has become
famous for his ability to show distinguished
visitors the sightsin the city. They did not,
however, go to "The." Aliens dance house.
The party went all over the city, and shortly
before midnight were at Harry Hills. There
they learned the orders sent out by Superin-

Probability that He Wall Join the Congre-

Probability that He Wall Join the COngre-
gati0ssaI Church.
? A correspondent called upon the Rev. T..
Dewitt Talmage in his home at No. South
Oxford street, Brooklyn, to inquire relative
to his alleged determination to leave the
Presbyterian denomination on account of
the pursuit of him by some of the leading
ministers of the Brooklyn Presbytery.
Talmage came in roaring with laughter.
He had received from all hands the express
sion that his speech just before he broke
loose from the Presbytery after his acquital
was one of the best things he had
delivered, although it had made his
antagonistic brethren almost wilt with rage.
'The Lords field is big enough for us
all to work in without striking hoe handles, %
he said, sand if am cult1Vating my field
and tending to it in my own way, don't see
why anybody should leave the work in his
field and come over to interfere with me Just
because don't work as he does. Three or
four ships might as well quarrel at sea because
there is not water enough. The church
only touches the rim of the great mass of
people who need help"
'Have you concluded to leave the Presby-
terrain denomination" asked the cores
pondent. a
''There has been nothing settled about
that yet My ties to that denomination were
never very strong, and they are weaker now
than ever before, but it seems to me that the
one-man power which has SO long controlled
the Brooklyn Presbytery has been
broken. had to meet solid body against
me when I went to . that ecclesiastical
court. The Lord has led me through. Twas
raised up so that am not much of sec
tartan. can't tell what church I will
choose. The largest part of my congrega-
ton are of New England rearing, and are
inclined to the Congregational form of gov
eminent. When the smoke of the conflict
clears away we will talk the matter over. or
course, it will not be pleasant for rs to re-
main in the Brooklyn presbytery."
The venerable DIR. Spear, who was Tai
mage's counsel in the trial, and is one of
the editors of the Independent, has fallen
quite in love with Talmage, although when
he did not know him so well he confesses
that he called him buffoon, and spoke
strongly against him. DIR. Spear went to
hear him preach on Sunday, and said that if
it was necessary to testify his respect and
admiration for DIR. Talmage any further, he
would change his church relations and be-
come member Of the Tabernacle.

THE REFUNDING CERTIFICATES.

Washington Special.
Hardly five minutes during business hours
pass that the treasurer does not receive
telegram from some depository asking for
urther shipment of per cent. certificates.
here are now between five hundred and six
hundred designated repositories. This list
is being added to at the rate of twenty five or
thirty day. II is impossible to keep them
all supplied. The deliveries of certificates
to the treasurer from the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing to day were 81 900, the
largest yet. This would have done very well
ten days ago, when there were not SO many
repositories, but it will go round in
very small quantities. 1t might be
said that the country, especially the
banks are crying for certificates. The total
amount that will be sold is $40,O00,O00. Al
ready ST., 0O0, 900 have been taken. If the bu-
reau of engraving and printing delivers $780,
600, 600 by the LIST of June, as it expects to,
the associated banks, who are to have all
left after the 18th of June, will not get dol
lars worth. No plan can be pursued by
which the bankers, brokers and spectators
can be kept at distance. They continue to
buy the certificates in large quantities wher
ever they are sold. They keep up their plan
of hiring men to buy for them. There are
three known instances where the operatives
have come to grief. One is in Baltimore,
and two in this city. In Baltimore, yester-
day, broker who had hired a colored man
to buy certificates for HIM saw his employee
get the 300 and vanish. Yesterday, at the
treasury, speculator had four men at work.
They went the rounds two or three
times. Then two or three decamped with
800 each. The speculator was watching
the two others who did not decamp. At the
postofice, yesterday, a colored man left sud-
denly with 800 belonging to Colorado
broker who has entered into the business of
buying certificates here. The allotment for
sale at the treasury was $4,000. It was all
disposed of before IL o'clock. There was a
perfect jam and crush during the three
hours that the sale was progressing, the line
of buyers extending half way out to the ave-
nue.. 1t is suspected that some of the banks
are going farther than merely hiring men to
buy for them. A number of cross road
postmasters have bonded for large amounts
of certificates. They are in all localities
where they would not be likely to sell 81, 200
of them in six months. It is thought banks
or other spectators have induced them to
become repositories for the purpose of buy
ing them out as fast as they can receive
shipments. -r ..
