Lord Ferdie was unhappy merely because
he was alone and could not meet any one
who interested him. The women of his set
whom he met on the promenade were dull
or dowdy; he cared for nom of them. For
he was hungry for excitement; he had drank
we'll 1T dinner, and he was young enough to
be affected by the soft midnight air.
He felt in the vein for adventure but he
preserved q superb composure and walked
the promenade alone with an air OF inditfer-
ence which would have done credit to o much
older beau. For Lord Ferdie, though a mag
ni6cent specimen of our gilded youth. had
one great fault-he was terribly young.
Suddenly a fash from a par OF cleaning
black eyes came straight into his own. The
look was SO direct and full of meaning that it
affected him almost like an electric sho X.
He turned and saw passing him q slight
figure draped in masses of white lace. Two
dark-red roses were fastened on her
shoulder.

he returned, kept o keen lookout for the

HOPE COMES to CHIARA.
Its Rays Have Begun to Brighten Her
Prison Cell.


This morning Chiara Cignaaalh, the con-
demned murderess, frightened up perceptibly
and there was an added briIliancy in her
sunken, handsome eyes, while on the thin,
pallid cheek a sort of flush fickered at times.
1t was hope that did the work, and this
morning she was still stronger and more
cheerful. She read yesterday in one of the
papers of the efforts made by counsel to Sc
cure q new trial for Dan Lyons. Her bosom
heaved and she exclaimed p~assionately:
Who has lone this? God bless him !"

She was bright throughout the day. and
even more cheerful as night drew on. She
had several yisitors-Mrs. Alexander, Miss
Fanny Merrill, the sister of Mime. CollIa, the
young N who does work for the mis-
sions in the Tombs, and Sig. Nardi. The
latter is o young man whose visits are q great

since the close of the rebellion that the
whole drift Of the government has beer
toward building up monopolies which
shape our financial policy. This con-
dition of affairs has been quickened,
powerfully aided by inventions and the
application Of steam and electricity to
the business of the country. Had the
railroads been held strictly to their duty
and by government supervision, COM
PEELED to operate as common carriers
solely and as impartislly as the post
Office department is administered, the
plutocrisy which is overshadowing our
land like upas tree could never have
existed.
The farmers greatest need is a
school master. He may be lashed to
his public duty, like the unworthy
servant, be beaten with many stripes,
but he will never be able to recite till
he has first learned his lesson. Then
he can go to the ballot box, issue his
orders and they will be executed with
alacrity. Let farmers organize. join
the Alliance, the Grange, the Farmers
Club, appoint committees to collect the
literature of those questions which
shape the business of our time and
make themselves familiar with them,
then idle complaint will give place to
intelligent action and action be follow
ed by remedy. Ignorance is mans
greatest task master and alcohol is his
greatest deceiver.
