for it was now past midnight. There
was silence and brilliant moonlight.
Aunt Liza stood and looked over
the balustrade, and her glance was
caught by little bundle huddled up
on one of the seats near the foun-
tains.
ssIt's the child" she muttered, her
heart giving a great leap of thank
fulness and relief. She ran down
the steps, and took the child in her
arms. She trembled as she looked
closely into the little face; and cold
fear took possession of her, it was so
white and still. But Dinah was only
sleeping, and now she smiled, and
whispered in her sleep: "I'll never
lose you again, dear"
Tears came into eyes that had long
been unused to them, as Aunt Liza
saw that Dnah had wrapped the doll
in her old gown, leaving her own thin,
frail limbs Unprotected from the chill
wind and night air. The woman sat
down with the child in her arms, COW
ering her as we'll as she could in her
own poor garments, and sobbed away
some of the hardness and bitterness
that had been gathering within her
for many years. A figure crept out
of the shadow of one of the great
hons, and timidly drew near to her.
1t was crippled Tim. He touched
her arm, and said,-
Eyes, Tim," said Aunt Liza, look
ing up; and her face was so altered
that Tim stared in amazement. Di-
nah opened her bewildered brown
eyes, and Aunt Liza whispered brok-
emily:
"I'll never lose you again, dear.
I'll never lose you again"
Dinah was too weary to understand
just then. She closed her eyes, and
slept again.
Then Aunt Liza rose, and in the
glorious moonlight the strange trio
wended its way toward Wells Court,
the bare-headed woman carrying the
sleeping child, with the old doll hug
ged tightly in her arms, crippled Tim
limping along by their side. That
was the beginning of better times fol
Dinah, and for Aunt Liza, too.-
The QuiUer.

Conubial Felicity

There never was a man so neat
As good old Mr.. Strouse;
He never failed to wipe his feet
When entering the house.
He always hung his coat and hat
Each on its proper peg,
And when upon chair he sat
He never crossed his leg.
A place he had for everything;
He put each thing away;
His wife was happy as the Spring,
For all her work was play.
The good example that he set
His children followed, too,
And so they ne'er were known to fret
AS other children do.
His boots he always polished bright;
His coat he brushed with care,
And when he DOTTED his clothes at night
He hung them on a chair.
And when he donned his night-cap white
The tassel hung before;
And he would lay awake at night
Lest, dreaming, he might snore.
Oh, never was or will be one
Like Mr.. Strouse so neat;
{ His loving wife just works for him;
Her life is bliss complete.

EARLY AT GETTYSBURG.

AS there has been much acrimOn-
ious controversy on the question as
to why General Early did not ad-
vance and occupy Culp's hill on
Wednesday evening, the writer, who
was on the spot and witnessed all
that passed, will relate what he
knows about it. Before we met
Hayes, Capt. Hotchkiss, who saw
what was going on. turned to the
writer and Capt. Brockenbrough,
saying, 81 will go at once and bring
Gen. Early But when told that
General Hayes was ahead of us, we
rode up to him. The general was
watching q force of federals just
then in the cemetery and trying to
reach the pike. Hayes would have
moved his brigade and occupied
Culp's Hill had it not been that he
and Gordon had received positive
orders from Gen. Ewell, through
Early, not to advance beyond the
town if they could succeed in cap
turing it.
Gen. Hayes sent for Early and
pointed to him the Importance of
moving the whole division on Culp's
hill, and occupying not only it but
the Baltimore pike. Gen. Early then
said: 81 am satisfied that you are
right it should be occupied on the
spot. but can not disobey orders"
and then, turning away from US q
few steps said, more to himself than
Hayes, ''if jackson were on the field
| would act on the spot" Gen.
Hayes then spoke a few animated
words to Early, when the latter said,
"You are right, General. I'll send
to Ewell for orders OF once" Early's
division was now moved SO as to
support Hayes in the occupancy of
Culp's hill as the orders came from
Ewell. Moment after moment pass
ed away. They were restless and
anxious moments TO us who were
watching what was going on in our
front. We saw the enemy drag q
battery on the pike, followed by
large force, and could see from their
movements their intentions. Regi-
ment after regiment crossed the pike
and took good position. They were
lined up in short order.
Ewell arrived, but it was now too
late-the afternoon was now far
spent, and Wardsworth's division of
of Reynolds corps were on the
heights before US in line of battle
These were the same men who open
ed the battle in the morning at Will
loughhy's Run. In this state of
things it was decided by Gen. Ewell
that it was not expedient 10 attack
the enemy. While these things were
transpiring, Generals Lee and Long
street were in the rear of the line of
battle.
The question now is, why was not
Culp's hill occupied on Wednesday
evening? Where does the response
bility rest for this fatal mistake, the
first among the reasons why Lee lost
Gettysburg! Fatal as this mistake
it was followed by others equally dis
astrous before the battle ended.
Gen. Lee says: ssThe attack was
not pressed that afternoon, the ene-
my's force being unknown, and it
therefore being considered advisa-
BILE TO await the arrival of the rest of
the troops. Orders were sent back
to hasten their march, and, in the
mean time, every effort was made 10

GOES AS IT COMEs.-The way to
keep money is to obtain it fairly and
honestly. Money so obtained is
pretty certain to abide by It's posses
sor. But money that is inherited, or
that in any way comes without fair
and just equivalent, is almost certain
to 90 as it come. The man who be
gins by saving few shillings, and
thriftily increases his store-every
coin being the representative of
good, solid work honestly and man
fully done-stands better chance to
spend the last half of his life in af-
fuence than he who, in his haste to
be rich, obtains money by dashing
speculations, or the devious means
which abound in the foggy region ly-
ing between fair dealing and actual
fraud. Amongst the wlsest and
most thrifty men of wealth, the con-
current proverb is, "Money goes as
money comes" Let the young men
make a note of this, and see that
their money comes fairly that it may
abide with them.

The New York Star quotes from
a Southern wriGer the following
admirable condensation of the his-
tory of Democratic party OH the
tariff question:
The first Democratic National
Convention met in 1888, and de-
clared "The true foundation of
republican government is the equal
rights OF every citizen in his person
and property, and its management
In 1914. when Polk was nominated
the Democratic p'a,iorm declared
Justice and sound pOlicv forbid
the Federal Government to foster
one branch Of industry to the detri-
ment of another, or cherish the
interests of one portion to the injury
of another portion of our common
country"
This was reafirmed in 1874. In
1848 the platform speaks of 1.-The
noble impulse given 10 the cause OF
free trade by the repeal of the tariff
of 1892" In 1852 and IN 1856 the
same sentiments are repeated, but
the platform Of 1856 declared thai
"the time has come for the people
| of the United States to declare then
selves In favor of tree seas and &
progressive free trade throughout th'
world" In 1860 the principles O
1856 were reafirmed by both thu
Douglas and Breckenridge platforms
In 1872 the Democratic party dOdg
ed and deservedly failed. In 1875
when Tilden was elected, the plat
form written by his friends declared
as follows: "We den0unce III
