Like a chorus which no discords mar, Sober and clear and'grnnd, Llko a scroll upreachlng to a star, Caught by an angel's hand, Like a wind begtnnlng from afar, And covering all tho land, They sound, they pass ; each man beholds Tho Master's risen face, Each arm some dear beloted enfolds Yet kheps Its forwaid place. The weak one leans the strong upholds, Hut all tire In tho race. I'p, through tho darimess and the pain, Up, through the joy and light, Earth's myriad hands arc rahed In vain Tobanlo or lot lie.

' "I was never tempted from it but once." he replied, "I will lellyott the story, it you would llko to hear it." Of coiirro they would liku In ; anil havin laid itsido his pipe, tho old man began : "Ono day I was waited upon by a man who gavo his iinniQ ns Labau Csarfurt. He win ot middle age, well-dressed, and at first sight' appcnrid tu bo a gentleman; but the illusion was di-pclled when approaching business. He was hard and unfeeling-, anil naturally a villain.

Ho asked mo if I was willing to undertako a jub which would call mo to Shircton. I told him I was open to anything legitimate that would pay." ".Mr. iAirljngton," said he, tupping mo with coarse familiurKy upon the arm, "I want to securo your services you must not bo eligaijid on tho other side." "I told him if lie would explain to me tho case 1 might bo belter able to give him uu answer' Ho bit an enormous quid of tobacco from a'black plug, and having got it into shape between his jaiss, liu went on with his story. . "Tlio caso is ono of ejectment. An el' dcrly mail, iiiuned l'hilip Acton, hud died leaving a valuable estate.

It was tempting. And yet I saw it was not per fectly clear not entirely honest.. The pro bability was that this William Acton was 1'lilllp s chlhl, and it was not impossible that l'nlllp had married lletsy Tottvoml. It struck mu that fiilnu Sirfurt was a vllalln, nnd that he fancied he had yining Acton so far lu his power that ho could eject 111 ill from the title, llut what had I particularly to do with that? If I accepted a client, I must serve htm. 1 hud no busincst but to servo his interest. 1 finally told Mr. Bar- furt that I would think the matter over. I shruid probably have business in iSiilreton during the session of the court, and I would call on lit in there nnd examine more fully. I could nut take his retainer until I had fur ther liirht." "llut," said he, "will you promise .not to take up the other side?" , , , "I told him I would do nothing without further consultation with him." "l!ccniif," he added, "If you nre for mo I am sure to Win. Acton can't find a lawyer that can hold a candle to vou. I know them all." "No matter whether I believed him or not, I did not feel flattered." "Two weeks later I received a letter from Sarl'urt, promising mo $o000 if I won." "Tho fivo thousand dollars was a strong argument. W as not law really n gamo of cliance, in which tho strongest hand and longest purse must win ? I told myself yes. Yes and I sat down and wrote a reply, say ing that I would tako the caso. Iiut I did not mail it at once. That night I put it under my pillow, aud slept over it; and on tho following morning I threw it into the fire. I would tint make up my mind until I had seen other parties until I had been on the grounds. And I wrote to Latum Sin- furt tn wait." 1 "Two weeks later I harnessed my horse to the wagon, nnd, with my wife and child, started for Sliireton. I hnd been married two years, and our little babe, a girl, was a year old, our pride, our pet nnd our darling. Sliireton was a distance of about thirty miles. We had been having rainy weather for a week or so, and it had now cleared off bright and beautiful. We stopped and took dinner at an inn, four miles beyond which wtriajstrcnm which must be forded. Thejinu- keeper told me that tlio btieani was some what swollen from the late rain', but that if my horse was trusty there could bo no danger." "Arrived at tho stream, tho Wanipatnck' river, I found the water indeed' risen, and thecurtent strong, but I Haw that others had recently gone over, and I resolved to ven ture. I knew my horse, and had faith in him, My wife was anxious and sho trusted my judgment. A third ot tuo way across tlio water was over the hub of tho wheels. A littlo more and it would havo reached the body of the wagon. I began to 'be alarmed; I feared I had left tlio true track. Presently ray .hor.so stumbled and staggered, having evidently stepped on n moving stone. The wagon swayed and tipped, and in a moment more we were in the water. With one hand I grasped the harness upon the Horse and with tho other I held my wife. I was thus struggling when a wild cry from her Hps startled the nir. Our child was washed away. "Oh, my soul I I cannot tell you what I suffered durinir thoso moments. Incould not lielp our darling If I left my wife she was lost. I clung to the horse and clung to my shrieking wife shrieking to God to have' mercy for her ' child. In the distance, upon tho bosom of tho surging ilooii, I could sco our little one, her white dress gleamiigin thesuli,being borne swiftly away. A moment moro and I saw a man plungu from the bank into the river. I saw this much, and then an intervening point of land shut out tho scene. The horse was now rapidly Hearing tho shore, and ere long my wifu and I were on dry laud, with tho horse and wagon. As soon ns 1 was sure .my wifu was safe I left her to caro ior the horse while I posted oli'down the river bauk in ipicst of tho sw immcr and the child. "You may well understand that all this tlinu I was frantic; I was a machine being operated upon by a surging and agonizing emoti'jn. How long or how far j wandered I do not know, but at length I met a man, wet and (hipping .with my darling in his arms, my durling safe nud sound. Ho told mo that he had caught the child within a few iinls of the falls, and that in landing ho had cleared the filial abyss by not more than t.wo .turds. Ho was a young man, not moro than handsome untUtulwuit. ilosaid he had seen my wagon tip, and wns coining to my iissistanco when he saw the child washed away. 'I threw my life into the balance, said ho witi a genial smile, 'and thank God! both the lives wero saved! " "IJ usked him hoiv I should over repay him." He stopped me with nn imploring gesture; "If you talk of more pay than I have al ready rceeittd;', ho said, 'il you can rob mo of the only solid reward 1 can claim, mercyl if saving tho life of such a chirttb is not enough of reward iu itself, then hard is the heart that craves.' And, with moistened eyes, ho told mu that he had a child of his own at homo an only child of very nearly the fame age. "I asked if ho would tell mo his name. With a smile, he answered that bis name did not matter he was not sure that ho had a name, I then uked htm if he knew me. He muldul, and said he thought I might be Mr, Lurington. When I told him ho was correct lie immediately turned away, 1 was too deeply moved to stop him, nud when he hud disappeared I started tu rejoin my wife with a dawning impression thaUhcIman might bo slightly deranged, llut my darling was safe her broad, tlcccy cloak had flnali d out nud kept her hcud above water and I went on my wny rejoicing, resolved that tho preserver of my child should not bo forgotten.

I 1876. told him I would give him n final answer In two days from that. "That evening I mndo a confidant of my wife, and al;ed her what I should do, 'If I take tlip ceo;,' I said, 'I am suro of Stf.OO'). She bade mo do what was right. 'Clod Inn been very I tint tn Us.' slio said, 'Let tn loi(I to Ulm lor guidance.

"I hope ho may enmo out nil right,'1 the host added ; 'but, I am fearful. Ho has got n hard nnd heartless customer to deal with.' "I shut my mouth and held my peace un til Liban Sarfurt called for his final answer. I said to him: 'Mr. Sarfurt I havo been considering nil this time whether I could undertake tour 11 with u clear conscience whether I should bo helping tlio sida of justice ard right iu helping you, I concluded that I could not do so beforo I had seen William Acton, to know him by name.

I cannot take your case, but, I tell you trankly, that if yon pio-ectite, I will defend William Actou. "I did not mind Sarfurt's wrath. He raved and swore nnd Htatiiptd, iinti then ho went off and engaged two lawyers from Her kimer to take his case. I called upon Acton and told him I would defend him, if lie would accept my services, as I had accepted his. He took my hand and thanked me. "I have made a great many pleas iu my life, but I think 1 never mado u belter one than I made to that jury uu that occasion. They were out not over five minutes, ,I(y their verdict William Acton was the lawful possessor of the estate his father hud left. "From that day I never!. hesitated to re fuse a caso to which I could not give my heart. Such a stand on the part of a law yer becomes known, aud the public feels it; and what the 'public feels juries uro suro to feel. "Conterning William Acton, I will only add that ho became my bosom friend, llo always felt that he owed his title to his val uable property to me; und to him I knew that I was indebted lor the home that was mine tor tliirty years.

J 7b the pcojile of I'crvuytvania : Wo congratulate you on the victory won by1 tho peoplo in tho great States of Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia on Tuesday last. Tho contest was one of desperate energy nnd unscrupulous uso of power by our op ponents. Wo havo carried the States of Indiana nnd West Virginia by decided majorities, nnd have substantially a victsry in Ohio, tho home of the Presidential candidate of the Itepublicmi party, for if it be saved to them at all it is "as by fire." All who have desired purity ofndminis trillion arid loved coilitltiitioir.il government have unite d with us iu this deHjietate sI nig gle with ollloiul patronage, money and pow er. The people have won. Hate, money and fraud have been found unable to cope with a sincere desire for He- lorni anil Constitutional Government. The prctigo of success is with "Tililen, Hendricks aud Het'orin," We liuve beaten the enemy upon it field ot their own choos ing. Our lines aro unbroken ; their forces are demoralized and retreating. "Forwurd" is now the Word. Pennsylvania is to bo won. Our fight is to be art aggressive one. Tho township and county organization will press the c mtest in every locality with vigor and determina tion.' Arouse the people. Attack the ene my. Demand an answer for tho wrongs ol the past and the ills of tlio present. An'aigti them for business depression, for dishonest government, for extravaganee iii administra tion, for broken law nnd delayed reconstruc tion. All old issues have passed nivay ; there is nothing left of them to explain or defend. Our opponents nre upon trial. The issues of the canvass are sharply de fined. The peoplo demand aud they will have honest government aud nu end of Grnfitism. Tliey demand and they will havo reduction of taxation and decrease of expenditure. They domnnd und they will have a change, of financial policy, through which a sound basis will bo reached by an easier road than that of universal bankrupt cy, which those iu power persist iu following. They demaud and they will have an end of hate! nnd a beginning of pence nnd unity. We u-k the aid of nil who believe that the hour for cluing" has come, The question are those of country aud not of party, and in the coming struggle in November we be lieve that every patriot will be witn us in the jinnl victory over the conupt practices nud joftlciul power of an universally detested Federal iuliilnUtratloii.

Vrize Packet lYumptter. Decorating a Dinner Table. The gracelul decoration of a dinner ta ble, though it may, iu the highest degree, partake soincivbat of the character of an art, in its simpler expression is within tho capa bilities of any one. A bouquet'of choice (lowers, a bunch of ferns, so readily nod cheaply obtainable, when placed on the dlm- ncr table enhance the pleasure of a meal. A few sprigs of parsley arranged on a disk is an ornamentation which gives additional zest to food, lletween n lobster, even un adorned, when served with care, and oat slung on tho table, there is exactly the dif ference which exists between the same aheli Qjh seen on a gentleman's table, and the crustacean when exposed for sale on the fish-dealers slab. Even in such a trivial thing as tho serving of food to tho gueti something of a proper tasto and good breed ing may bo made manifest. It is a treat tf watch a deft cook serving a dinner.
