The New Bloomfield, Pa. times. (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1877-188?, 1880-01-06

man who had "been thar, and knowed
what wimmen folks would like' pre-
sented itself so favorable to the miners
that with but little hesitation they
allowed him to do as he wished.
In an hour he was gone, and the
settlement was lost In speculation as TO
what he would bring back for the
strange lady and her child.
The morning of Dec. 25 dawned crisp
and cold. The fresh, biting air of the
mountains raced among the trees right
merrily, whisking the snow into little
wreaths, and frolicking among the
branches with real holiday gayety. 1t
was nearly noon when the stranger rode
into camp, loaded with bundles. At
the Magnolia he met an eager crowd Of
miuers, who, headed by Judge Gasbwil-
der, were sooff on the road to the strange
lady's cabin. Arrived there, they felt
a sudden hesitation about entering 1t
was like intruding upon some sacred
ground, and they were almost tempted
to deposit their bundles upon the thresh-
old and fly.
"You take the stuff" said the Judge
to the stranger, land go in first. You've
bin familiar with wimmen, and know
how to handle 'em. Wen wait out
side."
But the stranger felt the same hesi-
tation. Perhaps his long absence from
feminine society make him bashful.
Perhaps thought Of the memory he
revered caused him to hold back
Finally the Judge consented to take
the lead, and, dofling his hat, knocked
softly. The door was opened by the
child, who bade him enter. Beside the
fire sat the mother, who rose to meet
them. All passed in but the stranger,
who stood outside.
g Marin" said the Judge, who some
how had lost his usual ease of speech
and gesture, " we-that is, the citizens
of Mud Flat-has come to wish you "a
merry Christmas, and to offer you these
few tokings of our respect an esteem"
Having thus delivered himself, the
old gentleman deposited the bundles on
the table, aud stood beaming serenely on
all his companions. The strange lady,
completely overcome by this unexpected
kindness, could not find words to reply
for "a moment. Then, in a broken voice
she said
This is glad moment of my sorrow
full life. You are good, kind men, and
know God will repay your generosity
to the widow and fatherless. l."
She stopped suddenly and stood with
blanched cheeks and distended eyes,
staring toward the door. The miners
turned and beheld the stranger, who,
with great stride forward, and cry
expressing the widest joy, caught the
woman in his arms.
They stood thus, heart pressed to
heart, and lips to lips for an instant
Then the stranger turned his eyes de-
voutly toward the ceiling.
"Thank God," he murmured gently,
the wife had supposed to be dead is
restored to me-"
The miners stole softly away, and left
the stranger standing thus, with his
arms tenderly twined about the woman
of his love, and the little child clingng
fondly to his knees.
The air was balmy outside; the sun
shone with ineffable sweetness upon the
scene; a bluejay screamed his delight
from a neighboring tree, and the wind
| played Il joyful tune among the rocks.
Christmas had come to Mud Flat, and
| the missing husband was found.

ONE DOLLAR PER DAY FOR LABoRERs
The pressure by laboring men upon the Dis
trtct commissioners for employment upon the
hand being so limited to pay them, has induced
the Commissioners to fix the price for laboring
men, temporarily, at 81 per day. in order TO give
more men employment during the winter
months. This price goes into effect to-day, the
object being to do the greatest good to the
greatest number. The Commissioners hope to
procure the usual appropriation OF $50, 900 from
Congress for the purpose OF filling up the old
canal, in which event larger number Of idle
workmen will be given employment Hereafter
the current wages paid will be the price adopted
by the commissioners for this class OF labor.
