ha man fanoied that I loved. but I thank

the man I fancied that loved. but thank heaven that I saved myself from one so coarse and mean. I should have married him from mercenary motives only after that last interview, and I should have been justly punished when he lost his fortune"
 At that moment knock came upon the door. Two ladies were announced. They had inquired for the 'telder Miss Stanley, !" and at her bidding were shown in at once.
 ''We are strangers, my dear Miss Stan ley," said the spokeswoman, 'but your philanthropy is well known, and we come to you to beg. We have 8 home for old and poor persons in this place. It receives forty and there is a vacancy which we wish to secure for very unfortunate man. He was once rich, but lost his fortune and fell into habits of dissipation. Finally his health broke down. He is only forty, but one would fancy him seventy, and his physicians say that he can never support himself. Such gentlemanly person. So elegant in his manners. What we desire is that you should head subscription for l the purpose of buying him into the home. But as we are strangers we should be glad 1t you would come with us to see him. Our carriage is at the door. '" . | "Your names are guarantees for your sincerity, ladies' said Miss Stanley, look ing st the cards in her hands. ''I know the Home, too have visited it. A pleas. ant place. Tell me the poor mans name, and let me have your paper. Here, Alice, read it for me ; have not my glasses"
 Alice took the paper, gazed at it, and start ed violently.
 Archibald Verne P she ejaculated. ''Is it possible that he has come to this ??
 ''You know bim then ?' asked one of the charitable ladies. 'sHe lived in New York-had splendid residence there al one time. A slender man, with light hail and very regular reatures.
 "Yes, it is the MT. Verne we knew, said Alice.
 Then Aunt Ann held out her hand, took the paper and wrote something on 1t il pencil;
 ''You shall have check tomorrow, she said.
 'sHow k1nd How good You have subscribed the whole amount-the five hundred dollars" calculated the ladies, 1T breath.
 They were profuse in compliments anC thanks, but Aunt Ann only answered then with smile they could not under:tand
 'l am sure MT. Verne would have been glad to do the same for me"
 "It Is strange how things come about, she often said to Alice after that. q should not have gone into the Old Wo mans Home if you had agreed that MT Verne should put me there, while could have earned my bread in anybodys nurs cry or kitchen. But how little thought, as sat behind the screen in our little flat and heard him propose buying me in, thai I should do the same by him ill ten years time, and he be thankful for it. ''
 Whether MT. Verne was thankful or no no one can tell. He lounges in the inva lid chair some one sent him, and eats the fruit forwarded by the same friend, ant idly reads books that come as mysterious ly. Perhaps he fancies they come iron Alice, but 1t is Aunt Ann who sends them saying: "I should like such things If l were in his place, and I suppose he does If it is revenge, it is an amiable phase o5 that emotion.

GETTING OUT OF DEBT.

For some years past the treasury depart ment has issued each year comparative statement of the state of the public debt at the close of the fiscal year. This state ment, though 1t presents facts which are in some measure familiar to those who have closely watched public affairs for the past quarter of 8 century, is becoming ex- tremely interesting. The rise of the debt. less cash in the treasury, or the net debt. from less than SIC, ,OOO, ,OOO in 1857 to $97, : 100000 in 1861, marks the course of MT. Buchanan's administration, and the in- crease from that point to $2, 756, ,431 ,571. .43 in 1865 measures on v part of the enorm- ous cost of the rebellion. The reduction since that time has been $1 ,217, ,649, 746 2S !; the reduction in yearly interest-charge has been from $150, ,977, ,697 87 to $51, ,436, 7O9.- 50, and the reduction in yearly interest for each inhabitant has been from $s4. 29 to 95 cents. More than tbree-fourths of the burden of the debt to the people has thus been removed during eighteen years. The taxation has at no time been such as to be seriously felt by the people the growth of prosperity during that period has been un- precedented, and its industrial develop ment, especially, has been almost incredi- bly, rapid.
 The record covers the work of five ad- ministrations The reduction of debt dur ing these administrations is shown as fol- lows
 LLincoln-Johnson, | $323, ,659, ,6ss Grant, 1st, 327, 1908, ,912 Grant, 2d, 96, 186, ,629 Hayes, 199, ,625, ,277 Garfeld-Arthur, 2SO, 968, ,329
 Total, $1,217, ,649, TAG
 It must be remembered that each of these periods except the last covers four fiscal years the last covers only two fiscal years, and yet its results compare well with those of any four years preceding. When the war closed the interest-charge was $429 yearly for each person, and in four years under Secretary McCulloch it was reduced to $3.32. Then four years under MT. Boutwell, reduced it to $S2. 35, and in spite of the prostration of business, four years more, mainly under Mr. Bris- tow, reduced it to $2.01 per capita. About the close of President Grants second term business began to recover, and more than half of the entire burden of the debt has been removed in the six years which have followed; four under Secretary Sherman cut it down from $s2. 01 to $1 46 per capita, and two under Secretaries Windom and Folger have cut it down from $1.46 to 95 cents per capita. The reduction reached 28 cents per capita in one year under Sec retary Sherman. and 37 cents per capita in one year mainly under Secretary Windom. The latter reduction, caused by the enorm- ous funding operations of MT. Windom, has never been exceeded in any one year, though MT. McCulloch came very close to it Ill the fiscal year 1868.-N. y.
