well, we'll, have it your own way"
said Elr. Raynor. ~, too, feel sorry
for tho poor little waif; but I hope you
will not rue it,"
Next morning Mrs. Raynor went to
the Hunters to ask for Ruth; "What
do you say, daddy2" asked the apathet-
ic Mrs. Hunter, as she sat in hideous
rags with a dirty baby on her lap, after
she had heard Mrs. Raynor's request.
"Do as ye like about it." said the
fond father. young uns are most too
thick around here"
"Woll, We ken take her" said Mrs.
Hunter, nodding to Mrs. Raynor, IAN

your young uns she can come back any
day." This was said in tho most indie.
pendent and airy fashion, as though
there was every possibility that Ruth
might not like life in the Raynor fam.
lily at all.
Mrs. Raynor smiled as she thanked
Mrs. Hunter, and then she took Ruth
home with her.
The child was overjoyed. Nice clothes
and kindness soon developed her self.
respect, and she loved her benefactress
as only a young savage can love. She
was bright and quick, and learned with
surprising rapidity. The winter went
by and she still remained at the Ray
nors. The summer and another winter,
and year after year slipped away and
| she was still there.
At last Ruth was twelve years old,
and a very sweet and lovely Ruth she
had grown to be. Her comfort and Joy,
however, were o to end. One day
her mother came over to tho Raynors
and told Ruth that they, the Hunters,
were about to move tout West" and she
must go with them. Tears and en-.
treaties we're of no avail. The misera'
BILE, ignorant woman had long been
jealous of Ruth's affection for Mrs.
Raynor, and she now declared that Ruth
must come home and share the fortunes
of the family. SO the poor child went
away with her unlovely family into a
life that was hateful to her. For a time
she wrote frequently to Mrs, Raynor,
but rs the years vent by letters came
less frequently, and at last, after the
Raynors removed to another town, they
ceased to hear from Ruth altogether. .
Time moved on and brought sad
changes to the Raynors. One by on
the rosy-chccked children sickened and
died, and Mr.. Raynor soon followed
them. Mrs. Raynor found herself alone
and pcnniless, for her husband $ affairs
we're in a bad way, and his property
had been seiz d by his creditors.
She struggled for a time, but sickness
eventually ovcrpowcred her, and, as she
was destitute, she was taken to the
a~lmshouse.
Here, on New Years morning she lay,
helpless and sick at heart. She put her
thin hand over her eyes to hide the
tears of humiliation which trickled
slowly over her checks. Silently she
asked herself how she had sinned that

doubtingly:

entered, but Mrs. Raynor did not re-

Who could call her mother? Surely,
every voice that had a right to address
her by that namo was hushed in death.
The next instant a pair Of arms were
about her, and young lips were kissing
her faded ones. Mother, my true
mother, it is |, R2th Hunter. Speak to

After the first shock Of joy vas over,
Mrs. ltaynOr asked Ruth how she
learned of her misfortune. 1t was
easily explained. Mention of tho fact
that tho county had taken charge OF
Mrs. lsaynor was made in one of the
n wspape rs. A copy Of the paper con-
tanning this paragraph was wrapped
around IN express package and sent
to the town in Missouri where Ruth
lived, and by accident fell into her
hands. After reading it she started at
once to find her former benefactress,
and never rested until she reached the
almshouse.
"And now, mother" she said, ''you

gratitude and Joy to speak.

Ally-Webster and Worcester say that both
the noun aud the verb should be accented on
the second syllable. with the long. Most
people. however. make the distinction between
the two by following the general rule Of c-
centing the noun on the first syllable, and the
verb on the second, and this will soon have TO
be recognized by dictionary makers.

that the / should be silent, and the made as

PENsION-HATERS LIES.

Let some of the blathering soldier-haters
come out squarely, and show a single in
stance where the people are being taxed to
pay pensions" We have repeatedly made
this challenge, but it has never been &C
cepted.
They dare not accept it. No man can
show that the people are taxed single dollar
for the purpose Of paying pensions. Noman
can show that a single dollar is collected be-
cause it is needed TO pay pensions. Any
assertions TO the contrary are either ignorant
or knowing falsehOOds.
The passage of the Disability Bill has not
added one cent to the burdens of the tax
payers. Nor will it add a cent. The talk
about having to impose new taxes to meet
its requirements is simply bosh, TO deceive
the ignorant aud unthinking.
The Secretary of the Treasury highest
possible authority on the subject-says that
after all the reductions in the revenue have
been made and all the expenses of the Disa-
bility Bill have been met, we shall still have
surplus revenue at the end of this fiscal
year of $52.OOO,OOO, and at the end of the
next fiscal year of $l5OOOOOO.
When, therefore, the soldier-haters attempt
to alarm the people about "bankrupted
Treasury" overwhelming deficit" "need oil
new taxes" ETC.. they are saying what they
know is not true, and what they know that
every man who takes the trouble to read the
Secretary of the Treasury's report, must
know is false.

COST OF THE WAR.

EDrroE SATIoNAL TRIBUNE; There s a class Of
men here who claim that pensions cost the Govern
meut more per annum than the war did One por-
ton OF these were peace men and Copperheads IN

boys, and save the eountry"i To-day they are all
striking of some new party for political gain
CLIFTON Thorn. 6lst ILL.,, Sumner III.
This is n fair statement of the stupendous
lies and exaggerations of the soldier-haters
to prejudice the public against pensions.
Only an instant of time is required to see
the absurdity of it Mr. Window says that
pensions for this year will be $123OOO,0OO,
and next year S135,OOOOOO As he is Sec
rotary of the Treasury, he knows more
about it than all the irresponsible scEibbiers
and shouters in the country, and, besides, he
has to make his words good, which is not the
case with them. Against these expenditures
of S135OOO,OOO, let us take the total ex-
Penses Of the war.

WHATEVER space the New York Herald
can spare from lying about pensions it de-
votes 10 advocating the election of Chas. A.
Dana, of the Sun, as Senator from New York.
This is one of the Heralds lucid intervals.
Dana would make Senator Of whom New
York could be proud. He is a man of con-
yictiOns, brains and courage. He was an
efficient Adjutant of the great Stanton, in
the War Department, and he stands among
the very foremost of American journalists.
1t would be an appropriate rounding of a
distinguished career to give him q seat in
