Aunt gave one long, shiver
ing cry, and slid down on ths
floor, crying out
"My child my child! o, An.
drew, my hearts desire!" and
then she lay senseless. Her car
had fallen off, and her long gray
hair streamcd all over uncle's
feet.
"My God" uncle cried, "she's
dead, she's deadl o, Helen, my
dear, my dear, don't leave your
old husband that way! I'll do
anything you wish, anything,
anything. In mercy, doctor,
tell me, is she dead?"
DIR. Arnold was lifting her up
as he answered-
"No, she's not dead, nor dy-
ing, ! hope, bun you know what
will save herr" and then he
gave uncle one sharp look.
They laid aunt on the sofa,
and she opened her eyes and
looked around, and then raised
her hands and put her arms
about her husbands neck, with
out a sound.
He was sobbing like child,
but he knew what she meant,
and he lifted up the little girl,
ndkissed her, and laid her in
Iannt's arms.
/ believe / was crying myself,
but L couldn't stand it any Ion
ger, SO / just ran out of the
room, hearing aunt say, "Oh,
thank God, l have my hearts
desire t
Uncle and aunt went that night
to DIR. Arnold's TO see Cousin
Cecile, but she was too i'll TO be
moved. When she found she
couldn't live she had travelled
back to her old home, knowing
the old customs of the New Year
at Norman Hall, she1thonght
that then, or never, would be the
time 10 get her parents forgive
ness. fs,o es,r bf
She had never been very poor,
nor suffered in that way, but
she said she couldn't die with
out her mothers kiss. |
l tell you uncle is good old !
fellow, after ell. When he once
knuekies down, he does it like
a man. He was just as loving
to Cecile, whilst she lived, as if |
she had never disobeyed him
and kind Dnd gentle to aunt as
It he had never bullied or wor-
ried her poor life out. And !
when poor Cecilc died the week
after New Year, she died hap
py, knowing her child would
never miss her love. at
Well, uncle says that he had
intended making me his heir,
before little Cecilc came, and
now the only way to make it
right will be for me to marry
Cecile when / grow up. 1t
makes me laugh TO think of
hat little tot ever being my
wife. She's pretty, though, and
, good little thing, but nobody
S ever going to force wife up
on me against my will. No
when the time comes, I'll see
now I like her. +
Aunt has stopped crying, and
think she's getting we'll, which
IS the best Of all. Uncle gets
angry sometimes, but he never
says a cross word TO her, and
le's as tender as q mother to
Cecile. all the time. You see,
ne was clean whipped out, as
Ne Southern boys say, and he'sf,
nan enough TO let everybody
zee he was. So that's the way
We spent New Year at Norman
Hall.

TUMwATER has been in blaze OF
excitement during the past week
over the bridge repairing question.
So far as we can gather from reports,
fair majority of the property own
ers and business men ara in favor
of having the lower bridge put in
thorough repair, while the minority
comprising generally those who live
in the upper part of town, just as
decidedly oppose the measure. A
delegation from both parties were in
Olympia, on Wednesday, urging
their respective claims before our
County Commissioners. Repair the
bridge by all means, and our own
citizens will generously aid in the
matter.

Good for Land Owners.

If We may credit small portion,
only, of what Eastern papers say
about the great tide of emigration
now setting in from all parts of Eu-
rope to America, there is certainly
quite an encouraging outlook for
the land owners of the Pacific coast.
The New York Herald is warmly de-
voted to the emigration movement
and assumes the authority to assert
that 1850 will far outstrip any prev
ious year in the history of European
emigration. Present indications
would seem to warrant the conclu-
sion that the number of immigrants
arriving in Boston, New York and
Philadelphia during the present year
will he, at least, three-fold that of
1879. During the three months
ending March Slst, no less than
thirty-five thousand emigrants set
foot upon our shores against about
eleven thousand for the same time
last year. According to the esti-
mates set down by the managers of
eastern emigration boards, four hun
dred thousand settlers will have ar
rived at the Atlantic ports during
the twelve months ending December
31st, 1880. Now, it is assumed by
the same authority that, on fair
average, each emigrant-men, women
and children, all told-will bring
sixty dollars in hard cash into the
country, aggregating the round sum
of twenty-five millions of dollars to
he expended for lands and other
things necessary to the building
up Of homes. But this is not ali.
Every able-bodied man, it is sup
posed, will Immediately become, not
only consumer, but live producer
of either cash capital or its equiva-
lent representative.
Not all these people will desire to
60 into the woods and hew out
hc.1es for themselves and families.
AIaay will have the ready cash to
pay for improved farms. Hence, it
will be seen, that those of our people
who are now paying taxes on more
acres of improved lands than they
caE we'll utilize themselves, will
have q chance to dispose of all OF
a portion of their real estate not now
altogether so profitable as they
might wish it were.
Making all due allowance for the
saeguine and voluminous manner in
which the New York and Boston
journals are treating this subject,
there is abundant reason for suppos-
ing that lively times may be expected
in the land purchasing and property
exchanging business before the year
expires. In view of these facts, all
proper effort should he made by our
home Immigration societies aud land
preprietors, to secure to our Terri
tory a reasonable share of the thou
sands of families now crossing the
Atlantic.

ominous question, " What shall the
end be ?"
At the risk of being charged with
egotism we must make passing allu-
sion to very complimentary recep-
ton party held in Champion Hall
Wednesday evening as token of lie.
spect to the editor of this paper, who
had just returned from brief visit
to San Francisco, as delegate to the
Supreme Council G. r. c.. The
entertainment was given by the
members of Washington Encamp-
ment Champions of the Red Cross,
OF which organization he likewise
holds the houored position of Com
mander. The hall was beautifully
decorated with evergreens, and fes-
TONED with ivy, ferns AMI natural
flowers, the motto Welcome
Home" being conspicuously dis
played at the head of the hall in the
arrangement of these most beautiful
of natures products. The exquisite
taste displayed in these decorations
was the subject of universal COM
ment. At O'clock, Past Command
er Munson took the chair and an
nounced the programme of the even
ing, which included the rendition of
Home Again" by the choir, an ad-
dress of welcome by the presiding
officer, brief response, and adj
dresses by Gen. Milroy, Mayor
Barnes, Mr.. Silsby and others, in
terspersed with appropriate music.
At its close, the numerous guests
sat down to one OF the most elegant
repasts which ever tempted the ap.
petite of an epicure, the free-wilI
offering Of the ladies belonging to
the encampmeut. The table, which
occupied the center of the hall, run
ming its whole length, was likewise
tastefully decorated and the numer-
GUS and dainty viands displayed in
endless p,ofusion, left nothing want
ing to constitute it a royal banquet
and give the finishing touches to
the faity-like scene. The remainder
of the evening was devoted to tho
social pastimes SO popular on such
occasions, in which every body joined
with a zest, and it was long "ayont
the twal" before an admonition was
given that the hour of parting bad
come. Like all scenes that are
brightest" it was but a momentary
glimpse of the happiness which we
hope lies beyond, but it leaves in the
desert Of the heart q bright oasis
where Memory may delight to linger.

A Full Crop of Evil.

The saying that " Misery Loves
company" is sipgularly exemrlified
in the late experience of the kal-
lochs and DeYoungs. After per-
sistent running fire of scapdalthroush
many months, the life Of the elder
kalloch was attempted by the elder
DeYoung. Although the victim
came out unharmed, and was placed
in the gubernatorial chair of great
metropolis, "Weary the head that
wears a crown has justly been the
burden of his song, day and night,
ever since his election. Hardly had
the public relasped into a troubled
respite, when the younger KalIoch
seeks to avsnge his fathers wrongs
by becoming the murderer of Charles
DeYoung. Scarcely have the
mangled remains of his brother be-
come cold in the receiving vault,
when Michael DeYouLg is arrested
at the instance of Mayor Kalloch for
the crime of libel. The prisoner is
released on bail, and we wonder if
the last sickening detail has come.
No, we are not yet relieved, for now
comes resolution from the Super.
visors of San Francisco, charging
their chief magistrate with gross
misdemeanor, and urging that legal
proceedings be at once instituted
against him. kalloch, himself the
presiding officer, cody puts the
motion that orders his own impeach-
ment. And SO the disgusting bust
ness goes on; thus, one shameful
presentation after another is parad-
ed before our people under the SEN
sational headlines of the city dailies,
demoralizing our children and mov-
ing to unwilling shamefacedness the
better part of every community.
Would that he could answer the
ominous question, What shall the
end be?"
