clerks to Philip on that eventful morn

proud and happy smile.
"Oh, | once met her somewhere.
She is IL charming girl. congratulate

Thanks! Who are you bringing?"
"My sister, and the lady-a friend of
my sister's--Mss Fairfax"
Perhaps | may congratulate you,
too, ehpn suggested his friend, looking
at him with smile.
mo" was all Philip said; but he had
cause to remember the conversation.
The day wore on, under the auspices
of Mr. Day, the head clerk, and this UNI
fortunate gentleman had ample cause to
wish the hours of work might be cur
tailed. 1t had transpired that he also
was to grace the ball, and many were
the benevolent inquiries as TO what he
intended to do, and whom he thought
of bringing with him. Mrs Day-so
much was elected from him-was to
accompany him, and this fact once
known nothing short of a full descrip-
ton OF Mrs. Days proposed costume
would satisfy the insubordinate youths
| supposed to be under Mr.. Days control.
Truth compels the biographer of Philip
Massey, at this period of his life, to adj.
NIT that he took foremost part in
| prosecuting the unfortunate Mr.. Day,
presuming, it is 10 be feared, upon that
excellent PERSONS known partially to
him. He had Just extracted from the
! head clerk the admission that his con-
sorts head-dress would be glorious with
n white marabou feather, with gold
tips, when an irreyerent spirit suddenly
called out:
- | say, here's the governors car
riage. He's coming, after all.
Gentlemen. entreat you -" cried
poor Mr.. Day.
"What lark, if the old boy has for
gotten to take off his wedding favor
Day, We'll make him lend it to you. if he
has. He likes comforting favors on you,
you know
Groans saluted this frightIul attempt
at joke, which grOans were quickly
hushed into a discreet silence as Mr..
Starkie's foot was heard, then His voice
in Mr.. Days Office, calling to him.
The head clerk hustled away, and
some subdued laughter and joking went
on at the expense of Mrs. Days mara
bou feather. Philip Massey, who felt
himself in an oddly joyous and excited
mood, had just announced that he would
waltz with Mrs. Day ere cock-crow of
the following day, or perish in the ef-

Thekla, sharply.
And Grace, silenced in her TRADE, and
confirmed in her suspicious, fell to
weeping.
Despite her wretchedness she was
able to face the prospect of going with
Philip to the ball which Mr.. Starkie was
to give in honor of Mr.. Grey's approach
inc marriage All the superior clerks
of the establishment were invited, and
many other guests as well, and each of
the aforesaid clerks was allowed to take
two ladies. Philip was taking Grace
and Angela, though to that day the lat
ter had never said to him: 81 love you.
and | will be your wife when we can
reasonably think of marriage" No
such commonplace and prosaic words
had fallen from her lovely lips. Hints,
vague half promises, half concessions,
soothing words, and long, mysterious
chances had alone been vouchsafed, but
they were enough to keep Philip fever
ishly in love, and still wandering in his
Fools Paradise.
Some of Mr.. Berghaus' family were
also going, and it had been arranged
that they should all start at the same
time, and so arrive nearly together at
Mr. Starkies place, which was III an
Irkford suburb, five miles away.
Angela lips had been opened to utter
n few words on the subject of dress.
Being in half mourning, she said she
could not venture on anything but
lack aud white, and being so poor, her
dress must be simple, and must be made
at home.
Miss Fairfax made a great point of
the "home made" incident. And so it
was made ut home, and chiefly by the
ingenious fingers of Mabelle. IL was
simple, no doubt; but there is costly
simpl city as well as cheap and tawdry
splendor, and rs Grace Massey OBJ
served: Dozens of yards of black
tulle, and unlimited water-liles and
leaves in long sprays, vi the very best
make, can not be got for absolutely
nothing, you know; nor black satin fans
with ivory sticks-but Philip gave her
that; nor long Brussels lace mittens-
but she said those belonged to her
grandmother, and am sure, for any
thing care, they may have been worn
by Noah's wife, before the Flood. -
The great day of the festivities at last
dawned it is to be hoped that poor Mr.,
Grey felt happier on the occasion than
did some of those who were hidden to
the festivities in honor of his marriage.

Speaking of the session OF con
gress just closed, the New York
Herald lind. J has this to say
But during the present session.
when the Democrats controlled the
House and the appropriations, the
lobby utterly disappeared from the
Capitol, and in these last hot days Of
the session the two houses have
quarreled almost IN solitude, unvex-
ed with lobby agents and with a
notable absence of drunkenness and
the accompanying hilarity which
characterized and disgraced, the last
Congress.
1t is due TO the Democrats TO say
that this is not q singular instance.
Whenever since the war they have
controlled the House and the appro
prlations the lobby has disappeared,
only to appear in full strength as
hungry and shameless as an army of
locusts whenever the Republicans
regained control. The present scs
sion has been entirely free Of those
scandals which disgraced the last
Congress; the exposure OF ex Speak
er Keller was only remainder Of
the previous session.
On the whole, the present session,
though in many ways fruitIess and
disappointing. has shown the radi
cal difference between the two par
ties and made manifest to all the
voters that such of them as want
"libcral appropriations" high taxes,
o big surplus and its redistribution
to a big lobby, with general proffiga
cy in the use OF public money,
should vote the Blaine Logan ticket,
willie those voters who prefer ecouo-
my IN expenditures. low taxes, the
abolition of the surplus revenue and
of the lobby. with a needed reform
Of the tax system, had better make
up their minds to vote the Demo
cratic ticket, or if that should prove
glaringly unfit, to create new party
and nominate third ticket. There
is nothing to be hoped fer from the
Republicans.
