'It's mott I'm sure it's notl It's a
boatl' shrieked voice close by me ,and
saw to my surprise, Mrs Warner, who
| supposed was in the cabin, peering
wildly into the drizZling rain. To al
my appeals to her to go below, she kept
crying
''It is a boat it is a boat He is
saved 7"
'Without glass to aid her vision,
her strong mother-love gave her keen
ness of sight denied to US. 1t was a
boat. But it was only on my threaten
ing to abandon the search that the
wretched woman consented TO go below.
''Two minutes later the mate cried,
Yes, sir, 1t is boat, but i Is empty Sc
far as | can see. There's nobody sitting
in It,"
''It was true. There the little skifi
was tossing about, like cork on the
waves, with one scull dangling in the
oar-locks, but not soul could be seen
in her.
Tom" said I, nervously, for felt
sure the boy was not in the boat, and /
actually trembled with apprehension
lest the sad news would kill his mother,
will you go down and tell that poor
woman what we have SEEM"
"'Not for all the gold in California 7
said the mate, decidedly and yet he's
as brave fellow as ever sailed the
lakes.
''We passed word to have Mrs. War.
ner taken into the cabin, as we neared
the skiff. 1 felt so angry with that
poor painted toy of a pleasure-boat,
that | had half mind to run it down.
But of course | wasn't quite foolish
enough for that. The mate and two
of the deck-hands put off In the yawl,
for our wash would have capsized the
skiff had We gone any nearer. With
listless eye | watched them approach
the boat, for l felt a leaden weight at
my heart, because L was sure l should
be obliged to tell the young mother of
her loss. l saw Tom get hold of the
painter, and then spring into the skiff.
Then,-
''Safe safe The boy is here ~
at appears that the little fellow,
tired of play, had lain down under the
seat, and had gone to sleep. In the
meantime the boat had drifted into
the lake and it had begun TO rain. The
drilling rain did not wake him, and
he lay in as sound a slumber as if he
was in his bed at home, and not hair
of his head hurt.
But what fuss there was aboard
The women were all crying, and the
men too, for that matter. And the
young mother, clasping the boy to her
heart, went straight down on her knees
and thanked God before them all for
sparing his life. l don't think words
ever came from a minister's lips that
went straighter to the throne Of grace
than that young woman's prayer.
1.-The family are living East now.
William Warner Is one of the few men
| claim as personal friends, and as for
his bright little wife, if she were my
own child, couldn' have deeper re-
gard for her. And the presents they
send me There is no use in my try
ing to choke off their gratitude. Not
the least. And every parcel comes
marked, With Willie's love-"

FATE.

Beneath gay smiles are pent up tears,
From sorrow deep, in moving years.
The laugh that's loudest in It's ring,
Ofjoy, is but the mock and sting.
He came, hypocrite, in smiles,
And won hersioye with Turing wiles:
And when into her heart had grown,
He left her with her grief alone.
Another came. Looked on her woes,
a stream of love quick on him flows
His heart and life he'll willing lay,
Ii such one sorrow it will stay
She seems his love, so gladly greet
He lays his life down at her feet
Lsve? Buried in the days had gone,
Companionless, she Journeys on.
Great waves Of grief swift DER him roll,
He weeps within his burning soul,
To know fore'er and sadly feel,
Her grief he can in no way heal.
And she? what life so filed of glooml
A rose plant, that will never bloom.
y dark and barren, stricken heath,
A brow, beneath ! withered wreath.

glance at this table will show that in many
cases the cost of tools is as low here as ii is
abroad or lower, and that in every case. with
out exception, the workingman can buy more of
the tools he requires with less labor than he can
in England Though clothing is not, on the
whole, cheaper there is no class of laborers that
cannot buy the clothing required for them
selves and families with fewer days labor than
in England. American hardware has for some
years been exported, not only to England, but
also to Germany. American axes and cutlery,
it is well known. nave had the preference in
English markets for some time. In like manner
American farm tools of all kinds, from the
shovel up to the most costly agricultural ma
chimes, are preferred all over the Continent as
well as in England. Official reports state that
American hardware has, in like manner, OBJ
tanned the preference even in Germany.
In view of these facts, with what reason can it
be said that the American laborer is not helped
by the system which secures him higher wages !

AIR. rrtRryS ARR1iGNMENT

MR. IJ1RINS hNh1lfN MENI
Mr.. Evarts administered scathing rebulSe TO
Mr.. schurz and ihe hrcning Post in his Brook
lyn speech. He repeated the first count of the
original indictment against MIR. Blaine
namely. that he had made u ruling In favor of n
road IN which some of his friends were inter
csted that he wrote at once to the promoters
of the enterprise, reminding them of the service
he had rendered aud that ns n reward for the
ruling he secured from them after some neROtia-
tions his appointment as selling agent ol the
bonds of the road on commission IN Maine, an,l
received number of such bonds "a his percent
age Mr. Evnrts demonstrated from the letters
themselves that there were three monstroua
fnlarhnndA IN this indictment, aud then read the
tritneIinna which Tnr TunuNt succeeded
after persistent effort IN forcing The ErrninD
I0sf 10 make Tho indictment waa reduced to
this torml Mr, nnne made u proper ruling,
Ia which neither he nor his trlnnds were
financially interested he hlgned u contract
with the promoters of tho enterprise for the
purchase and sale of its securities without their
knowing anything about tho ruling; and
instead of getting financial reward for n
ruling to which he had called attention, he got
nothing Mr.. Evartss arraignment of the
Schurz. is brief but terrible: 81 have never
"known more shameful miscOncepti0n or
"more vindictive misstatement than these argu-
"ments which have been met by these very re
fractions. :. The whole fabric has disap-
"peared. and. thank God in time for every
"honest voter to resent the imposition that has
been attempted to be practsed upon him"
The EreniRg Post receives its punishment
with poor grace. 1t flies into passion, insults
the leader of tho New York Bar, and con-
temptuously advises the virtuous women of
America not to listen to the orators dastardly
inndendoes," but to darn their stockings, count
their washing and mend their childrens
clothes. In a parOxysm of blind rage 1t denies
that it has retracted anything of importance,
and insists that its glaring misrepresentation
of Mr. Blaine's letters were only "errors,n and
"wholly immaterial." How any reader of The
Ecening Post can have either the hardihood or
the patience to retain any respect for it after
being informed that these monstrous falschoods
were of trivial Importance and wholly imma-
terial, is more than we can understand. Mr.
Evarts selected the one charge in which any at
tempt has been made to connect Mr. Blaine's
private business with his official acts. and he
proved by the retractions of The Ereaiag Post
that Mr.. Schurz no longer had a case. He re-
fcrred to the fouI letters which Mr.. Curtis has
designated as containing the proof of Mr..
Blaine's guilt" and on which Mr. Schurz has
based the charge OF prostitution of public
honor" He demonstrated that the retractions
disposed of the case. And all this is imma-
tcrial' And Mr.. Evarts is "A contemntible
petti!Oggcr who hasn't studied hi. hri.f and
winks and makes naughty remarks before
decent matrOns!

this community will stomach your kind of

WIGES OF IIRGRERS

The portcrs and laburers in this country num-
ber more than 100000. They receive
ordinarily about ~ 30 a day in the cities, n1d
more than ~ day for ordinary labor in country
towns. In Great Britain the average wages
paid to such labor do not exceed ~ 20 per
week I'm France, 80 % IN Germany, #3 l..
The wages paid IN New-lork average 50. 1t
may occur to the workngman of New-lork
that he has some advantage over the labOrers
of other countries.
. Assuming that 300, 900 persons were employ
ed NJ the German rate of wages, the amount paid
them during the year would be @JO7, ,2GSOOO.
II employed ut the French rate ot wages, they
would rraye R3Ss,2sl,OOO. II employed nj
the British rate of wages they would receive
%t6i i,j0o,oOo. Dut If employed ut the Ncw-
York rate. even ut thia timn, with labor unuau'
ally dcpfeaard their wages would amount Ia
#ssp. 100000, II. however. II be assumed
that the average wages 0l poilota nnd laboioln
throughout tho country do not exceed Hl 20 u
day, of ~ 80 per week. their wages would
amount 10 $7li. 100000 In other words.
these people receive about 1925, ,0OO, 900 more
than they would ia France, and about $llS,-
900, 900 more than they would in Great Britain.
Undoubtedly tho wages paid To laborers of
this character average more than has been here
allowed, but the comparison sutlices to show
that the system under which they live in this
country adds enormously to their earnings. If
they consider that the advance in their wages
is due to two causes-to the Homestead bill,
which the Republican party passed after
Buchanan's veto in spite of Democratic votes,
and to the protective tari1 which the same
party has maintained against Democratic OPP
postion-it may occur to them that 1t is not
wise to put the Republican party out of power.

TtGES AND PRICES.

II Is n common assertion that, although the
wages of labor are higher in this country than
abroad, the laborer has to spend so much more
for tools and for clothing that he is no better oil
at the end of the year. On account OF the dl'l-
Guilty of making comparisons, this statement
passes unchalenged very often, and Is by many
supposed to have q great deal OF truth III It,
Hence, an important service has been rendered
quite recently by the publication OF the selling

In this country and in England. Among them
