ONLY A PAIR OF SHOES.
How CIeveIand's Father aud Mother Met
New York World

How C~leveland's Father aud Mother Met.
New York World.
Many years ago there was a meeting of the
General Assembly o. the Pfesb yterian
Church IN the city OF Baltimore. Among
the clergy in attendance was a young
dominic, but recently ordained, whOss
manners n personal qualities wrought
havoc among the msrriageable sisters whose
piety or curiosity had led them 10 attend
the deliberations of the pundit.. Or those
who, in this solemn c~onclave, found the op-
~Dartunities Of measuring the Qualities of the
divine was a certain Miss A whose heart
and land having already been pledged and
so in a manner fitted By experience aud By
sympathy OF Judging the wants of the un-
occupied human affections, saw in this same
young clergyman a most fitting mate for her
younger sister. for whom as yet mo man
had spoken"
Returning to Der home at the close of the
first session Of the Assembly she revealed 20
ber.siSter the discovery she mad made, insist
ing that she had fOund the man Providence
ordained TO a that sister Annie happy,
and that she lAnnie) should attend the toll
lowing meeting and thus place herself in a
providential line for carrying out the pre-
ordained plans. Miss A., in no wise 10th
TO see the man thus ardeDtly described,
amused by the anxious care and wise provi-
sion Of the elder sister, was ready to act.
But here an insuperable obstacle interposed.
The world had not been prolific in It's boun-
ties to this family. and Miss As ex-
plorations revealed that her wardrobe
did not contain a pair Of boots or
shoes in which she could venture to tread
the streets. Nor did her sisters contain a
duplicate. In fact, there was put a single
pair between them, So for a time 1t seemed
that all there proyidential plsnnings were to
be brought 10 naught for want of a pair of
shoes. The elder sister removed the obstacle
by removing the covering OF her own feet
to invest those Of the younger. and sent her
on her mission. Meantime He who weaves
the warp OF life had not been idle In remOv
ing threads among the warp OF the young
mans hopes. His eyes, sometimes wander
ing, caught flashes from other eyes that
spoke mutteIed thoughts, and among the
pious emotions due such n holy assemblage
were mingled strange thoughts and themes.
So destiny wrought, bringing then and
there these two lives nearer and nearer to-
getheT. Then an acquaintance was formed,
ripeniDg soon into love. and two hands and
lives were joined, that through years OF Joy
and sunshine, years Of clouds and sorrow,
ever kept bright and pure and noble-thst
blessed the world with preachings and prac-
tices OF the gospel OF love-that gave to
the world children that should perpetuate
their good works and deeds, whom the
world should delight 10 honor. aud one, a
son-a man OF destiny who. on the 18th of
March. shall take bis seat as President Of
the United States.

The Man who rsstans.

Washington Special to PHILADELPHIA Times.l
Pilgrims to Albany are not returning
knowing as much as was the case three or
four weeks ago. Fewer persons are speak
ing for Cleveland than there were. Cleve-
land is a good listener, il is said. Some no.
table mistakes have been committed by
constituting silence into consent. This has
impoeed on him the duty of correcting a
number OF assumptions. Inierences are be.
ing drawn from the fact that Mr.. Cleveland
has a number of times asked visitors TO give
their views of Mr.. Thurman, when they had
had their say'' of others, without ever
mentioning the distinguished Ohio states.
man. Without inferring too much, it is to
be said that the President-elsct has more
than ones manifested an interest ia the ex-
Senator he has not in many others. This
fact is handed around among those who
know a hawk from a hand-saw as having a
meaning equal to anything yet touching the
Cabinet TO be. Among the few things that
can be said with any degtee of positiyeness
is that by common consent less is known
concerning Mr.. Cleveland's intentions in
any respect than a week ago, when less was
known than the week before that. At the
same time there is an increasing esgerness
to know more of Cleveland himself, as bear
ing on probabilities IN the future. Curi.
ously enough, persons who only lately knew

Besides the natural sweets, We have taken
