hand, ''and called around to see
how you are getting on. I thought
1t was about time I gave you that
little lift you asked of me three
years ago. You don't look as if you
need it, though"
''Not at present, thank you, un-
cle," was the cheerful response.
'Cnriously enough, it is the same
business that / wanted to buy then.
The man who took it had TO borroy
money to purchase it with, getting
SO much involved that he had to
sell at Il sacrifice"
Just what you wanted to do"
Edward smiled at the point made
by his uncle.
1T isn't what I've done though.
I've saved four dollars q week from
my salary for the last three years,
and SO | was not only able to pay
the money down, but had fifty dol
lars besides"
"Bravol my boy" cried the de-
lighted old man, with another grasp
of the hand that made our hero
vince. I'm proud of you! You
are bound to succeed, I see, and
without anybody's help. I told
your cousin Polly that when she
was eighteen I'd buy her q house in
TIE city; that she should furnish it
to suit herself, and have all the SER
wants she wanted, and I've kept my
word. ComeAaround and see us
whenever you cam You'll always

Edward did not fail to accept the
invitation SO frankly extendedA-a
very pleasant intimacy growing mp
between the three during the twelve
months that followed. Edwards
business grew and prospered until
he began to think of removing to o
larger place. His uncle had given
him several liberal orders, as well
as sent him number of customers,
but said nothing more about assist
ing him in any oGher way, until
Christmas eve. Entering the room
where Edward and his daughter
were sitting, he said:
81 mustn't delay any longer the
little lift | promised you, nephew,
md which you have SO well earned"
Edward glanced from the five
shousand doll.r check to the lovely
lace at his side, and then to that of
,he speaker.
You are very kind, uncle-far
kinder than | deserve-but-"

and having rung several times, he
was about to conclude that there
was no one within hearing, when a
head was thrust out of the upper
window.

side door"
Considerably startled by this un-
expected address, the young man
obeyed. Upon the porch, brushing
away the leaves that covered it. was
young girl of fifteen. She looked
very pretty as she stood there, the
bright antumnal sunshine falling on
her round white arms and uncover
ed head.
Setting down her broom she
ushered him into II medium sized,
plainly furnished room which gave
no indication Of the reputed wealth
of its owner.
The young man took seat.
brushed few hecks OF dust from
the lapel of his coat, ran his fingers
through his carefully arranged locks,
and thus delivered himself:
'rell your master that his
nephew, Edward Stone, is here"
A faint smile touched the rosy
lips, and with Il Gemure yes, SIR"
the girl vanished.
4 few minutes later an elderly
gentleman entered, with intelligent,
strongly marked features, and
shrew look in the eyes, which seem
ed to take the mental measure of
his visitor at single glance.
"Well, sir, what is your business
with me?"
Il am your nephew"

Il was thinking of going into
business and thought l would come
and talk it over with you, and ask
You to give me lift"
''What better capital do yon
want than you have? A strong,
able-bodie d young man wanting a
lift. You ought to be ashamed of
yourself! What have you been
doing?"
Edwards face had flushed with
anger at this unceremonious lam
suage, but feeling that he could not
afford to quarrel with his wealthy
relative, lie gave no other indication
Of it.

"No; it's only five hundred; not

Mary's only reply to this was a

him comparatively at rest.
AT her fathers request-who was
very proud Of his daughters various
accomplishments-Mary sang and
played for her cousin; and his visit
ended in singular contrast to the
stormy way it commenced. Edward
refused the five dollar note tender

ing expenses.
The old man smiled as he return

WASHINGTON, December 1Sth.-Many seats were
vacant. The morning hour dispensed with, and
the House went into committee the Military
Academy bill 1t appropriates $4,000. 1t was
read for amendment.
The committee rose and reported the bill, which
passed as it came from the committee.
The House again went into committee on the
consular and diplomatic appropriation bill.
Singleton (D.) of Mississippi explained the pro-
visions OF the bill 1t appropriates S1,190435 be-
ing increase OF 000 over the bill OF last year
In regard to the diplomatic portion of the bill,
there las been no change whatever made from
the law OF last year in regard to consular service.
The Committee Appropriations had adopted
some changes which had been proposed by the Sec
retary of State, comprising chiefly the transfer of
Consulates from one class to another He dwelt on
the importance of consular service in advancing the
commercial interests of the country, but argued
that its utility neutralized by the laws against
free ships The carrying trade of the country had
almost disappeared under the restrictions which had
| been placed upon it by law which he said man
could not go TO any country he pleased and buy a
vessel and get an American register. He contended
| that those laws should be amended, as they had
| proved very detrimental TO commerce.
| Conger Or referred to the great Importance OF
extending the consular service, but ridiculed the
snallness of salaries paid Consuls New market;
were opened through the eXerions of those officers
| and the commerce of the country moved, though
| ships were not allowed to be bought in England
The American people could manufacture ship:
against the world, and they were doing it to-day
II it were not for the continual threat made in thi:
House that the people should go and buy free ships
and thus endanger the establishment OF American
shpyards, ships could be manufactured herr
cheaper and better than they were to-day, and to
| day they were the finest ships in the world.

VOTES.
WASHINGTON, December 19th.-The mes
sengers who brought the electoral vote of the
different States here have been disappointed
as to the amount of mileage they receive.
Heretofore it has been twenty-five cents PEI
mile each way. In the last appropriation
bill it was changed to twenty-five cents for
one way only. The messengers growl at this.
but there is no help. A man can travel COM
fortably on III cents per mile. The vote of
Georgia has not yet appeared by messenger,
but has arrived through the mail. The vote
Of New York was brought by John Jacob
Astor. He is entitled to about $50 mileage,
but probably will not apply for it.
