"And so you are an heiress, after all,
Polly" said Mr.. Dorman, with a little
smile, as they stood together in the
twilight. on the vine-covered porch,
listening to the voice of the sea, whose
lullaby had hushed Polly to sleep since
her earliest infancy.
"Yes, but you won't think any less of
me, Mr.. Dorman ?" answered Polly,
rather anxiously.
"Il try not to, Polly" was the grave
answer, eff you'll promise not to think
the less of me, because I happen to
have comfortable little fortune of my
own, some seventy-fve or eighty thou
sand dollars, 1 believe"
And then, as he gently drew astOnished
Polly to his side, he told her of himself
and his family. That, disgusted with
the manpuvring of match making
mammas, he had fed from the city, and
sought the retirement of Covert as q
refuge, never dreaming that here he
should find the one being, etc.
"But what will you say to your
people ?" timidly asked Polly.

laughingly replied.

The light

In the twilight Of our morning.
When the skies are growing gray,
And the shadows heed the warning,
Stealing sullenly away
From the brook. the grove, the hedges,
From the forest and the hill,
From out among the sedges
Where repcsed the murmuring rill;
When the gray with red is gushing,
When a thousand tints ablaze
Der all the landscape blushing
With an irridescent haze;
DiVlnest cOlors blending
And as swiftly changing hue,
TIL the broad day. onward tending,
Has revealed the morning true;
How we look and long and wOnderi
Oh, the light the soul perceiVesi
Shall the gates OF heaven asunder
Fold their bright aurOral leaves?
LOl a flood ethereal pouring
Gilds a grand, triumphant way,
But the light Of our adoring
Proves the light Of common dayl

In a dazed sort of q way, while in the
solitude Of his own room he went
through the prOsaic operation of maxi
ing the necessary changes of raiment
consequent upon a thorough duOking /;
Tor, as they parted at the bottom of the
stairs, Polly had shyly whispered some
thing in answer to his fervent appeal,
and the remembrance Of her sweet words
That made him lose his head altogether.
Hence it was that, when the loop Of
his dress coat caught on the head Of a
rusty nail at the back of the old
oaken wardrobe, Mr.. Dorman, in place
OF carefully unlocking the same,
twitched at it impatiently, thereby
bringing down loose board with a
startling clatter.
And when, a little afterward. Mrs.
Preston and Polly ran up to his room in
obedience to his excited call, they found
him staring at some half dozen bul0-
ing. mouldy buckskin bags, that be had
ranged on the table as he had drawn
them from the hidden recess.

mother turning very pale, and sitting

GOING TOO FAR.

In q SYMPOSIUM on several phases Of the labor
question, published by The Age Of Steel, of st.
Louis, one of the replies was by DR.. Crosby,
Chancellor of the University of the City Of
New York, as follows, Z" ln small matters the
= workman has it all his own way. He charges
@the housekt eper who employs him what he
"pleases 1t is in large manufactures, railroads,
aetc, where the workman is tyrannizcd over.
@Therc participation in the profits should be
@enforced by law, and no workman should be
dismissed without cause Endorsed by n court,
or if dismissed without cause he should have
six months wages paid him. Summary dis
mission of hundreds when the percentage of
@prolits falls little is an outrage.
Sympathy with the cause of labor has led DR..
Crosby to go too far. Let it DO seriously con-
sidered whether such changes as he proposes
would be for the permanent benefit of laborers
themselves. Between entire fidelity and
marked capacity and those degrees of incom-
petence or infdelty which can be established
by evidence in q court there are thousands of
grades and shades which an intelligent and just
EMPLOYER takes into consideration in selecting
or dscharging men. Is it seriously deemed
right that Il workman shall be protected by law
in being just shiftless and lazy, just as inso-
lent or indecent as he pleases, provided he
does not commit any offence of which n court
can be convinced 7 Would it be well TO give
some men who might be willing to perjure
themselves for each other the virtual control Of
any establishment in which they can get foot
ing2 Would it be just to employers to provide
that one can never get rid of undesirable men,
if they please to support each other in courts
and cOniine their misconduct to times when
there can be no other evidence of it than the
unsupported word of an employcri Would it
be fair to honest wOrkmcn to give them,
because they will not lie, less protection than
those who are willing 60 swear falsely2 Ger
tainly DIR. Crosby is aware that there are some
men in various branches of employment who
resort to violence and bloodshcd in order to
carry their points. Such men would not hcsi-
tate to tell an untruth. Ought an employer and
all the other men to be placed at the mercy of
these, the least worthy OF all the laborers
Almost all large corporations are compelled
to trust both life and property to the fidelity of

and that labor-saving machinery would be more

labor of all kinds The better quality OF men
would leave an employment where the worst
and the least trustworthy could command the
utmost protection Of the law. Nor is it reason
able to declare that the number of men en-

RLSMARCK,S NEW Policy.

The approaching crisis in German politics is
clearly described in the Berlin letter published
on another page. Prince Bismarck having a
new policy requires, as usual. a new series of
political combinations in order to give effect to
it, The commercial advantages of the colonial
ventures into which he has entered with char
acteristic energy have LrOved worse than prob
lematical. The Chancellor himself c0nfessed d
this when he called upon the trades people OF
Bremen and Hamburg to undertake the admin
istration of the colonies and to pay the costs of
the commercial policy. The colonies already
cost ten times as much as they yield in revenue
and trade, and popular enthusiasm on this sub
ject has rapidly declined. The Chancellor has
found it necessary to furnish the Rechstag
with a new issue in order to divert attention
from the virtual collapse of his foreign opera
tiOns. He has reverted to a scheme for n
monopoly on spirits, which will prove a greater
source of revenue than the tobacco monopoly.
In order to obtain the sanction of the Reichstag
he is compelled to secure the support of the
Catholic Centre OF else to order dissolution
The fierce hostility of that powerful group,
whose votes have enabled him to introduce the
tariff schedules now in operation, apparently
precludes further negotiations in that quarter.
The ruthless expulsion of the Poles from
Prussia and the unwillingness of the Chancellor
10 make the extreme concessions demanded by
th~,centre in ecclesiastical affairs tend to pre-
cpitate crisis in his relations with the various
factions in the Reichstag. An early dissolu-
ton is, therefore, to be anticipated.
One result of general election is confidently
predicted by our Berlin correspondent, who is
exceptionally well informed. The Liberals
will score substantial gains at the expense of
the Conservatives, whose political influence has
steadily declined. Indeed, it is not improbable
that they will have in the next Parliament a
clear majority. This would involve a necessity
for radical readjustment of the Chancellor's
New-York tribune., 1886-01-10

combinations and n reconciliation with the
party which he has sought to humiiiate ana de-
stroy. 1t will be a singular freak OF poiiiicai
fortune if the Liberals eventually succeed III
1e-establishing their od-time relations with the
Chancellor and consent on their part to support
measures which they have hitherto denounced
in theory and practice. Possibly the Socialist
law can be amended so as to be less offensive to
Liberal sentiment; but it is not altogether
credible that the spirits monopoly can be
carried as progressive measure with the ana
Of those who have s;rendously opposed tue
tobacco monopoly and similar legislation.
