HERMAN AND HERTHA.
MRS. n. T. HOLLANDS.

The great German steamship was
fastened to the long pier.
The front passage way was thrown
open, and the poor emigrants came
swarming through, wan and weary.
The voyage had been stormy one,
and the darR Quarters in the steerage,
crowded and uncomfortable.
When the great waves had tossed
the ship, and threatened to swallow
her up. Herman and Hertha had
crept into the dark corner near their
bundle, and holding each other by the
hand, had whispered the prayer the
good mother had taught them.
When they were hungry they ate
from the lunch she had prepared for
them,' and when they grew tired and
sleepy, their brown heads would nestle
close together on the bundle.
When the rough linen sack rubbed
against their cheeks, their thoughts
went back to the little German home
they had left; and they would talk in
low tones of the making Of the bundle,
and of the long winter evenings when
the mother had spun the fax, and
woven the cloth.
How she had fashioned the brown
blouses and wide trowsers for Herman,
and the striped gowns and aprons for
Hertha.
They laughed when they recalled
the day they drove the geese into the
pen, that she might pluck the feathers
to fill the striped tick for Hertha; the
same striped tick that was in the
coarse linen sack, and was serving
them for pillow while they talked.
s.Do you remember" said Hertha,
show the old gray gander caught you
by the stocking leg, and would not lei
you go, and how you cried aloud, un-
til the mother came and pulled him
away"
And then they would talk Of the
bright future, and of the great Ameri-
ca which they were slowly approach
ing, where they would earn the money
to buy the ticket which they had
promised to. send back to the good
mother.
Their hearts grew light when they
talked of the little red chair, and pref
ty doll, they would buy for sister
Annie.
Their voices would grow fainter
and fainter until, forgetting the roar.
ing storm and the uncomfortable cabin,
they would fall asleep.

In their own grief that they had no
thoughts for her.
The train started with sudden jerk
which nearly threw her from the seat
and then went rolling out into that
new world OF which she had hea rd
and talked so much.
She shuddered when she saw the
man in the brass-buttoncd coat come
through the door.
She watched his face, as he talked
to the excited passengers, and expect
every moment to see him reach out his
long arm and drag them away.
Instead of this, however, his words
seemed to quiet them, and they talked
to each other in more hopeful man.

She watched him until he had
spoken to them all. then she saw him
looking at her with smile on his face,
and Oh! how her heart beat when he
spoke to her in her own dear language.

Mr. ClaTer'. Lucky Draw.

Mr.. Claver's Lucky Draw.
Murray qowa) News. Nov. Is.
Having interviewed Mr.. Jno. T.
Claver in regard to his reported lucky
draw in the Louisiana State Lottery,
we find that he held one-twentieth Of
ticket No. 46,755, which drew the first
capital prize of $500, 900 in the Com
pany's drawing on the 9th of October
last, and that he has received his
money-$15, ,OO0-on the same Mr..
Claver's ticket cost him one dollar, and
was the first and only money he had
ever invested in that way.
By an agreement with Mr.. William
Foster of this place, who also held a
ticket in the institution, that if either
of their tickets drew u prize they
would divide equally, Mr.. Foster re-
ceives one half the amount.
Mr.. Claver and Mr.. Foster are both
we'll respected citizens of this vicinity,
and whatever may be said pro or con
of the lottery itself, this amount of
money will elevate them from moder-
ate to well-to-do circumstances, and it
is to be hoped that it will be invested
in a way that will give it circulation
in this city and community.

father and the motherp"
The tears came into her eyes, and
the sobs nearly choked her, but she
forced them back, and told her story in
SO simple and affectinga a manner. that
the kind hearted man drew the blue
sleeve across his eyes.
He noticed the look OF intelligence
and refinement on her face, and then
his thoughts wandered to the little one
in his own home.
Hertha followed him with her sad
eyes as he went out through the door,
In short time he returned, and
then she found some cake and fruit in
herlap.
When the train rolled into the great
western city, Hertha's kind friend took
her by the hand, and led her to his own
home.
And here she began life in the new
world, caring for the little Gaila-the
sweet baby who seemed to take the
place Of sister Annie,
But there was great empty space
in her heart, that the child could not
fill.
Herman, Herman" was the plant
that rang through her thoughts when
awake, and through her dreams when
sleeping; and, PLEASE, God, send
Herman to me to-day" was her morn
ing prayer.
The city was in its holiday dress.
The streets were filed with happy
children, who looked at the great
Santa Claus in the window, and won-
dered what he had for them. The
shops were crowded with purchasers,
and errand boys were hurrying here
and there laden with the precious gifts.
And with the joyous Christmas Eve
there came a shower of great snow
flakes which deadened the sound of
the footballs and made the scene look
like real fairy land.
Hertha's kind friends were among
the busy shoppers. The Christmas
tree was planted in the square block OF
wood, awaiting its precious fruit.
Baby Gala was fast asleep in he.

with her face pressed against the cold
glass. She saw the moving crowds,
and heard the merry voices Of the
glad children.

when the two long black wooden
stockings and the one little red one
hung above the fireplace.

silent tears rolled down her cheeks
and fell on her clasped hands as she
whispered:

She dried her eyes on her white
apron, when she heard the stamping
of feet on the doorstep. She did not
expect them just yet, and wondered If
they would notice the tear-stains on
her face.
She opened the door and met a boy,
his arms filled with parcels. He was
covered with great flakes Of snow, and
she thought Of Santa Claus at first.
"Does Mr.. Hunt live herep" he asked.

HERMAN AND HERrHA.


They awoke one morning to hear
the tired emigrants repeating the word
they themselves had so often repeated
America, Americas If hardly
realizing that their long journey was
ended.
Herman and Hertha took the bundle
between them and wentwith the crowd.
They were pushed and jostled, and
carried along, but they clung to the
treasure which held them together.
When they could slip out from the
struggling crowd, they sat down on a
box and looked around.
Everything was strange and new to
them. The light seemed 80 bright
after the dingy darkness of the cabin
they had left that they wondered If
they had seen in Germany.
They heard loud angry voices talk
ing in q strange language. and they
saw men, wearing blue coats trimmed
with many brass buttons, who they
thought must be soldiers.
But when they saw the poor bewil-
dered emigrants jerked here and there
by these blue-coated men; fathers
dragged one way and mothers another,
while the little Peterkins and Gret-
chens were left crying in the midst OF
the noisy crowd, they became fright
ened.
Hertha felt along the bundle until
she could touch Herman's hand, and
looked up in his face as If for pro-
lection, but the look she found there
was not at all re-assuring.
Just then she felt heavy hand on
her shoulder; the bundle slipped from
her grasp, and she lost sight Of Her
mans face.
She called his name as she felt her
self being dragged through the crowd,
but before she could repeat the cry, q
rough hand was placed over her
mouth.
She grew dizzy and the bright sun
turned black.
When she opened her eyes again
she found herself on seat in corner
Of dusty emigrant car, with many Of
her fellow passengers near her. Some
were laughing and some were crying,
and all appeared to be talking at the
same time.
She was too confused to understand
what they were saying at first, but
after listening awhile, the terrible
meaning of it all broke through her
mind.
She learned that two rival railroad
companies had their agents at the
landing when the steamer arrived, and
these men, in their efforts to secure
passengers for their respective roads,
had made sad havoc with the poor
emigrant families.
Fathers were talking Of missing
wives and children, wives mourning
lost husbands, and children crying for
their parents.
Hertha looked on the sad scene from
her seat In the corner.
Her grief was too new for thought
or tears.
How sad hhe looked, with her clasp
cd hands lying in her lap in that list
less way. Her brown woolen hood,
with its tassled strings oftwisted yarn,
had been pushed from her head during
tho struggle. and hung down on her
