had been fifty cents in the purse besides
the weeks salary. Not large amount,
it is true, but it represented hard weeks
work, and it was much to her. "We

"Maybe you dropped it. You know

mother. We will 90 to the car stables

and Mrs. Wilbur, who was searching the
pocket of the sealskin coat ncrvously,
held up a gorgeous diamond ring, which
Tessie recognized as the one which she
had seen sparkling on the hand of her
polite friend of the street car
"There was little slit in the lining of
the pocket, and it had slipped down, "
explained her mother. ''but, how did it

THANKSGIVING 1NrHE HOME

Like the patient moss to the rifted hill,
The wee brown house is clinging
A last years nest that is lone and STILL
Though it erst was filed with singing.
Then fleet were the childrens pattering feet
Ard their trilling childish laughter,
And merry voices, were sweet, oh! sweet
Ringing from floor to rafter.
The beautiful darlings one by one,
From the nests safe shelter flying,
Went forth in sheen of the morning sun,
Their futtering pinons trying
But oft as the reaping time is DER,
And tse hoar frost crisps the stubble,
They haste to the little home once more
From the great worlds toll and trouble.
And the mother herself is at the pane
With hand the dim eye shading,
And the flush of Grlhood tints again
The cheek that is thin and fading.
For her boys and girls are coming hons,
The mothers kiss their guerdon,
As they came ere yet they had learned to
roam
Or bowed to the task and burden.
Over the doors worn sill they troop,
The skies of youth above them,
The blessing of God on the happy group,
Who have mother left to love them
They well may smile in face of care,
To whom such grace is given;
mothers faith, and mothers prayer,
Holding them close TO heaven
For her, as she clasps her bearded SON
With heart that's brimming over
She's tenderly blending two in one
Her boy, and her boyish lover.
And half of her soul is reft away
So Irvine the dead and the living
In the little home wherein today,
Her children keep Thanksgiving
There are tiny hands that pull her gown,
And small heads bright and golden;
The childish laugh and the childish frown,
And the dimped fingers folden
That bring again to the mother breast
The spell of the sunny weather,
When she hushed her brood in the crowded
nest,
And all were glad together.
A truce to the iarring notes of life,
The cries of pain and passion,
Over this hull in the eager strife.
Love h,vers, Eden fashion.
In the wee brown house were lessons taught
OF strong and sturdy living,
And ever where honest hands have wrought,
God hears the true Thanksgiving

The Senate Finishes the Dutiable Articles ou
Tariff Bill and Begins on the Free List.


Tariff Bill and Begins on the Free List.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Among the bills
reported from committees and placed on the
calendar was the Senate bill to authorize
the construction of a bridge across the
Missouri river at Leavenworth.
On motion of Mr.. Allison it was ordered
that the Senate meet tomorrow at IL A. NJ.
The Senate, at 1870, resumed considera-
ton of the tariff bill at Paragraph All, tax
ing leather, not specially enumerated or
provided for. Is per cent. ad yalorem. No
amendment was offered.
Mr.. Vance moved to amend Paragraph
412, taxing calf-skins IS cents per pound by
reducing that rate to 20 per cent. ad va
loren.
Mr.. Allison asked that Paragraphs412 and
413 be passed over informally. 1t was so
ordered.
On motion of Mr. Allison, Paragraph AS,
taxing manufactures of alabaster, amber,
etc., % per cent. ad valOrem, was amended
by emitting from it the words cork or
cork bark" and adding to it the. words
"osIer or willow, prepared for basket
Paragraph 416, taxing manufactures of
bone. etc., SO per cent. nd valOrem, was, ON
motion of Mr.. Allison, amended by adding
to 1T cork or cork bark"
Mr.. Allison moved to amend Paragraph
425 by reducing the duty on pearls from %
TO 10 per cent. ad valorem.
Mr.. Sherman said that all experience
showed that where there was high duty
on articles of jewelry they were Struggled.
1t was very popular to say that SUCH lux
uries should pay high rates of duty. That
was true, but the rates should not be put SO
high that they could not be collected. The
amendment was adopted-yeas, p; nays,
2Q--as follows.
