His breath was almost spent when I stood by his bedside and listened atten tively to catch the low sound of his voice, as be whispeied the sad tale of an erring 9od whom be had diiven from bis bomeir. Enzlaud. lie bad sent him froru hishorne one dark night, twelve years before, be cause of bisdiunkeu habits, and he had never seen him since. He had beard from him but onse iu all these long years ; then he was an officer aboard ship, plying be tween Liverpool and New York. Though be bad searched Ihe world over be could get no trace of his son, and dually worn out by incessant grief and traveling, he iay down in the far West among strangers, -to 1 die without having accomplished the one gieat desire of his aching heart. As the death dew was gathering on his brow, he finished bis story, and, with an in describable look of agony, asked me to swear to lake up the wot k where he had left it, and devote my life, if need be. to the finding of h's son, if living. 1 should receive $20,000 when he was found. Young and romantic, my sympathies were fully aroused ; so with my hand clasp in the nervous grasp of the dying man. I ptomised never to give up the search until the lost one was found. Air. Gray had made such disposition of. bis property that 1 could draw my travel ing expenses ; so I cotnmeuced the import ant task the day after his untimely death. I took the cam at Lincoln and was soon in Crete, a snirtll s'.alion iu Nebraska. Here I changed to the stage coach bound for Hobler's lauche, fifteen miles to the uorth. As we were traveling along at a rate of speed fur which Western stage coaches are renowned, I tried to shape some definite course to pursue, and had al most decided to retrace my journey to Lin coln and start for the Eastern Spates, when my thought were diverted from the sub ject by the sudden upsetting of tlte lumber Nig vehicle. We had been treading our way around the edge of a gulch, wheu the shying ot one of the horses sent the coach and contents in a heap to the bottom. , I was conscious of falling, and thcu all was blank. , . When I recovered my cov bc:ousopss, I was in a pleasant though plainly furnished room, through the door of which I could sea a pale-faced woman sewing near a ta ble. At the same time she was sweetly humming a baby song and rocking au old fashioued cradle wi'.h her foot. It wasan interesting picture, and made me thiuk of my own childhood, with my mother sing ing baby Nell to sleep. I tried to think how I came to be there, and woudered if I bad died and was iu heaven. As my thoughts turned to myself I tried to rise, wheu an acute pain in my side made me cry out in agony. Then the sweet face of the woman was over my pil low, and tender eyes looked pitying into mine as she asked me if 1 felt much pain. Her voice so low and sweet, made me for get ray suffering, and I asked where I was and how I came there. "Don't you remember your falling into the gulch with the stage coach yesterday ?" she asked. "Oh, now I remember," I replied. "I was going to Hobler's ratiche when we .were all tipped into that gulth and killed." "No' not killed," she said, smiling at my serious tone; "but badly bruised; and Maivin brought you here for me to muse back to life, for you were almost gone wheu he got you out of the wreck. I was going to ask who Marvin was, but she said I must not talk any more until the fever had left roe. The following week was a period of great suffering to me, but my faithful nurse did all that could be done to make my snrrouudines pleasant for my rational moments. I was conscious of the presence of a young man at my bedside, and knew be was the "Marvin" who had brought me from the gulch. - Near the end of tho second week after the accident the fever left me, and I began to recover. Up to that time I had been' unable to converse except with great pain, but on this afternoon, when the fever was all out of my system, I could talk as well as 'usual. Jly lecovery was slow, afid for many days I was compelled to keep to my bed ; but at last I was permitted to sit up, braced by -pillows, in the big arm chair. 'One day, while silting thus, watching Mrs. Warde, my nurse, at her work, I ask ed how she and her Imsbaud came to settle in such a wild country.. She replied that it was a long story and might tire me too much ; but I assured her that it would not," so she paused for a moment and then said "Wheu I promised to be Marvin's wife J he was a sailor, on shore for a short vaca tion. He was not rich, bat we loved each other, and were full of hope for the future. Marvia was to fnake one more trip' to Liv--erpool, and then return and make me his wife We parted, both vowing to remain, tuue to our love, vows. But he bad dot been away a week before mother was ta ken sick, our only borsre waa stolen, and fit bar broke his leg, so he could not work. I toiled all day aud far into the night, but I could int earn bread enougb for the lit-, tie brothers anoT sisters and buy the medi ciue that sick mother must have., ' In our -hoar of-distress, my father's employer, Mr.'Ennot, bearing of our need, senl the doctor for mother,and food for ihechildreo. I was grateful for his kindness, but when he asked me to marry him, I fled Tiom his presence. He .sought me agaiu, aud said, 'For the sake of your father and tick moth er,' Jenny, can 'yuu not be my wife?'' I thought of Marvin away ou tbe sea, arid my heart made me say no. Then came the news of a terrible storm at sea," aud Mar vin's ship nas among those that" bad gone dovrn. Again Mr. Ennot renewed bis of fer, ', My father ' argued and cohimanded, hnf I could not ' forget', Marvin's love. Mother did not say a word, but when she looked into iny face, I knew she wanted rne'to yield for the children's sakeV "Tbo'' my heart should break I could not refuse her mute appeal, so I gave over aud prom ised to be his wife ; bat my heart, waa ou the sea," -,-.. ; . lThe day appointed for the wedding Same, and everything was ready : guests had. been bidden tablps spvetid, musicians- engaged, aud floors prepared for acTtve4 feet, "We were to be married at the church," then go for tbe grand feast at Mr, EnuoL's house' I was sitting mournfully at tbe wiuriow of my little room all dressed and ready . to go, when I taw my Marvin ap proaching. . I could hardly believe my eyes till he said, 'I have come back to save yon. -Jen oy,' and as he took me from the window io his great strong arms, and pressed me to bis breast, I forgot the sor row of tbe past and laughed and cried for joy. . ' ' ' .Mrs. .Warde stopped for moment to brush away tbe tears that the memory of that meeting brought to her eyes, then continued : - . "Marvia bad heard in the village below of the reported loss of bis ship, and of my approaching marriage, aud had lost no time in coming to me. Ouce in his presence I could not resist him, so away we went 1o the church and, just as Mr. Ennot and his friends came, we were pronounced man and wife. . . r, . "I can never forget thevscene that fol lowed. .Mr. Ennot stamped and swore, and tore his hair in hiawful anger ; then turning to Marvin, as we were leaving the chureh, be rafsd bis hand towards heaven aud swore a vow of eternal hatred to vis both. I was badly frightened, but Marvin thought it only an iale threat, and soon forgot.it. My parents would have nothing to do with rae, and so we went to work in a large factory in a neighboring city,. We were doing well till Mr. Ennot found us out and influenced our employer so that we were discharged. We then moved to a little town in a distant State, aud had just got nicely settled when Mr. Ennot again found us out so we lost that situation. We commenced in another and then anoth er, but with the same result.. Mr. Ennot was rich, and followed us from place to place, using his? money in circulating sto ries that deprived us of work, and made honest people turn from us. Oh, those were dark days for us !" sbe exclaimed aud again stopped to control ber emotion. I had found the tears running down my own cheeks while listening to ber low tones when she spoke of moving, theu again the blood would fairly boil within my veins while she was telling of . the persecutions . they received from Ennot. But I was all attention when she continued : - "We tried different factories in all parts of the country, but it was no use. The undying bate of that man followed us like a shadow, and for four years we were con stantly moving from one town to another. At !ast we left tbe East, changed our uame and settled here in tbe wild West, so far away from my dear old borne and friends." At the mention of the old home, convul sive sobs choked ber utterance, and it was some time before she resumed her interest ing story. "Under our new name we wore safe from discovery, and would have done very well if Marviu bad been experienced in rauche work, but he was not used to the country, aud did not succeed as well as others have. Theu baby was born, my health became poor, and I could not help longing for a look into my dear old mother's face. Mar vin, too, who was driven from his father's house twelve years ago for dissipated hab its, wished to bear frpm home again. He wrote two letters lajt year, but as he re ceived no answer, he now thinks his father is dead, for Mr. Oraywas old. "Gray?". I asked interrupting her. "Yes. - Marvin Gray, my husband's father," she replied, wondering at my growing excitement. "Was it Marvin Gray, of HighclifT Cas tie, Hampshire. England?" I questioned, hardly ab'.e to keep my seat. "The very same." "Then I have been searching for your hnsband. Marvin Gray is dead, but long before he died he forgave his son, and was searching for him, that be might tell bitn he was forgiven, and give him a father's blessing." Marvin came in from his work just in time to hear this of his father, and drop ping on his knees beside his wife, who had borne so mac b for his sake, he poured forth a fervent prayer to the One who bad guided and watched over them through all tbe long dreary years of their wander ings. But little more remains to be told. . They easily proved their identity, aud received the property which belonged to them. And bad you, kind reader, gone with tbem to that Eastern State, you might have wit nessed a joyful meeting, when the daugh ter, so longed for, returned to ber aged parents' home, where they now reside, liaviug.no fears of molestation from Mr. Ennot, who choked to death during an en counter he had with tbe end of a rope in the hands of an infuriated people among whom he had been living, away ou the "Western botder; ..'.-. "Wanderings of an Old Violin. .Among the New Yokers who fought in the Mexican war was a musician named Boyd, whose skill with the bow was often turned to account'whea .time bung heavy in' camp or the spirits of the boys drooped. After tbe captuie of the capital Boyd met a Mexican officer who told hira of au old and highly prized violin, tbe property of another officer, lie hunted up tbe owner, and found that the instrument was a genu ine Cremona. , Every" grain bore unmis takable evidences of age, and Boyd deter mined to secure it and carry it home as a trophy, All offers of barter were indignant ly refused by the Mexican, and the Ameri can was obliged to obtain by foul means what he could not by fair. He carried tho instrument home and used it for several years, but its history was kept seciet until in time of adversity he was compelled, to part with it. It went into the possession of a Mr. Barnes, wbo paid three hundred de'.lai-s for it. It descended to bis soa, Dr. R. A. Barnes of Richmond. During its travels it had been shattered to fragments, and was no longer of any practical value. Mr. A. B. Clark, a. virtuoso of much ex perience, saw it 8B exhibition, and ex changed it for a fine instrument of his own make. By three months labor he has restored it to its original shape and tone.' Tbe back and neck are new, but the frame and top were made by. Nicholas Aniroatis, in lvT7. The violin is one of tbe small Ammatis, and is remarkable for tbe very large arch and deep belly. The tone is soft aud sweet, but very powerful, growing louder as the listener recedes, until he i beyond a point where ai ordinary instru ment would be iuauoible Whkn a man. is making love to a widow he always fels as if he bad to begiii where the other feilvw lvlkufL The Hoy Who Wanted a. Drink. The Burlington JIawkeye fiend, in des cribing a recent railway journey, says: Moreover, I saw the boy' who wanted a drink a restless, - qnestioning, uneasy, thirsty boy. He let the window fall on his fingers before the train had gone a mile. He stood out on the platform until be was encrnsted two inches deep with ashes and dust and cinders. . lie went to the water cooler and go a drink : then he came back and told bis mother he was hot, and went back and got another drink. He drank about four times per mile, seldom oftener, unless he was suddenly seized with an un cdntrolable spasm of thirst. If he was drinking and somebody else came after a driuk, the boy wculd suddenly seize the cup he had just sat down and refill it, and drink as though be bad wrapped his stomach in the desert of Sahara, glaring suspiciously over the top of t he cup at the waiting passengers as he drank. When be was hi his seat he watched the aisle narrowly, and if he saw any passenger get up and move toward the waler-cooler he would jump up and race for it. If h9 got there first, he would drink and snore over the cup until thirsty passengers forgot what he went dowu there for. People be gan to wouder how much the boy was gauged for and if he wasu't rather strain ing his capacity. The remotest hint or suggestion -jras sufficient to send him to tbe cooler. Wheu the traiu ran over a creek, the water made him think of his thirst. When it rattled over a loner stretch of prairie, the absence of water drove him mad' I was afraid the snpply of water would give out before the boy was tilled up, and he was a rather small boy, too. His interior circumference, I think, must have enclosed an area double ia extent to that enclosed by the exteiior belt. Ne.ir Waseca, we run nearly a mile without the boy making a stop at the tank. I grew very nervous now for I was fear ful that during such an unheard of absti nence from water, his pumps would run dry, rust out, and he miirht blow up. So 1 leaned over the edge of the seat and said, carelessly : "By George, but I -am thirsty. I wond er if there is any water ou this car?" You want to understand me now, as re cording . very plainly, and without any mental reservation, the fact that that boy's mother, sitting beside him, was no lool. Her eyes snapped when she heard my careless and innncent remark, she took in every syllable of it, aDd she turned ou me in a Hash with : . . "I wish you would mind your own busi ness and leave my boy alone." A low, mocking murmur of applause went through the car, a little of it for the iodignaut mother, some of it for the charily boy, but most of it for me. She suppressed yours truly very successfully, bnt it was too late. Long before she finished that brief sentence, her boy was down at the water-cooler, holding his eyes tight shut to keep the water from running out of them, while he fl'oded his system as though he had taken a contract to keep up a pareunial Baptist revival inside of him self. -A new association, known as the Eng lish Labor Association, is now being formed in Washington city. It, is proposed to urge upon Congress the passage of a law by which 100,000 volutileeis may be enlisted for five yeais, for military and agricultural purposes on the reservations of the Govern ment, Twelve skilled mechanics or arti sans are to be in each company, and one regiment of each corps is to be engineeis exclusively. As soon as 10,000 men shall be enlisted, they shall be sent to the res ervations, and npon their arrival shall lay or.t a city, and begin tbe erection of suita ble quarters for a permanent settlement, preparing ground for agricultural purposes, and developing the mineral resources of the country. ' Each corps to be furnished by the Government with seed, stock, fai fl ing implements and tools. Volunteers a;e to receive the same pay as regular soldiers, and every person so enlisting shall, upon honorable discharge, be entitled to a pa tent for one hundred and sixty acres of laud, as now provided for by the Home stead act, or to one lot within the limits of t he city, as he may elect. Every alternate lot is to be reserved to the Uuited States. "Rave Mamma." Capt. Boscoe Bnrke, of the steamer Henry Clay, pi ying betwpen Cincinnati and Wabash, relates the follow ing : Down on the Mississippi, near St. Louis, one of his boilers exploded or collapsed in backing away from a wood wharf and the steamer was sinking. Many of the pas sengers had leaped overboaid, some with life-pteservers and some without. Among the latter, who had been swept over by the wildly rushing mass of humanity, were a boy of 12 years and his mother. A man upon the stern of the boat, seeing the boy buffeting the troubled waves, attempted to throw him a rope, and at the same time crying out to bim to catch it and save bim sel f. "No! no !"' cried the little hero, point ing to a woman who struggled resolutely close by his side, "save my mamma and let me go ! 1 can swim and KOe cannot." Both were saved, and we can ieadi!y be lieve that boy was a hero in all honor while bo remained on board. That his mother was proud and found of htm, wor shipping bim from the depths of her heart, was evident to all. An Affectino Sentence. -Judge , of the judicial district of Arkansas, "had brought before him a convicted felon to be sentenced. T be oppoi 'unily to im prove" tho occasion- was not to be lost, and so, af'er the tiFual demand for reason why sentence should not be pronounced, his honor, slowly aud with eeuuine feeling addiesscd llie prisoner : "My poor fellow, you arc about to go. to the penitential y.

Let every Democrat do his duty at the next election, and we are certain of victory. After the 4th of Mart-h next there will be a Democratic Senate in tbe United States. What a strange change, my friends. When I entered the Senate there were but seven Democrats therein. After ! je 4lb of March next we will have a majority of six. The Democratic House has leen the means of accomplishing some grand resi:'ts. It was tho means of restorinj; the silver eoin ai? to circulation ; it was the rause of put ting a ftop to mintary interference with tbe elections of the Slate. These things would hare never been ac complished had they heeil left to the Itepuli licaus. If a Democratic Hoosfbnij done so mu'.-h, what i:):iy we expect wheu wo have both branches of Congress 7 '. This being tbe case, my friends, I lielieve that every one of you w ho believes in Demo cratic principles every one who believes that the IJepnblican policy is not a wie pol icy, Inheres here slioiiNt lm change in our administration. I appeal to you to see that you elect a solid Democrat for this Congres sional distric t this fall. Of what use are your Democratic principles if they are not carried into effi-ct. D you ever reflect that your influence in general government Is con fined to one day in two jears? It is only oce day in this time that you have a right to .lecide. what man you "will have to m;ike yonr laws. When von tut in your btlln. if on thai paper Is in-.criue.i tho naineol a lte publican, how ran you s:ty that you have songht to carry Democratic principles into ell'oct ? i'aith is shown by works. The man whs sincere'iy Wlieves in the principles of a Democratic party will fen that he vote for the man who will carry those jiriuciples iuto effect. These words will answer as well for Pennsylvania as for Ohio. Let Democrats who are impatient at the slow results that follow their adherence to Democratic prin ciples and support of the Deuioci at ic organ ization, lo-.k at what we have achieved in in ne years : In 1SG', the Democrats in the United Slates Senate, numlH-re.l Initeight Senators, while in tbe House of Ilepresenlaii ves we had out seventy-one Representative. There was more than a two ihiiils Radical majority in both branches, and that party in Congress was sup erne an the law making power. The President's veto, as Andrew Johusoti louinl out, was a useless preroga tive. This was Ihe Congress that parsed the act nullifying the contract with tbe bondliolilers, and tnakiiig;the Iwunls payable iu gold or silver coiu ; by another act of re pudiation afterwards changed by this same Republican party, iu demonetizing silver, Io gold coin. lint look at the results brought aliout by faithful adheretice to the Deinocratictjparty and our constant apnea's to the patriotism aud good sense of the people. We have had control of the House of Representati ves since Deceralier, 1873 ; the Senate is a tie, and af ter the fourth of March next, will te Dem ocratic by a majority of uot less than ten and possibly fourteen. The law-making power of tbe nation will be under the control of the Democrrtio party in five months. Heretofore, having only one house of Con gess, our power on legislation was but of a negative character.' After the fourth of March next it will be positive and controll ing. Then the Democracy will be responsi ble for the laws ttiat are made, for tbe first time in nearly twenty years. In lH'a'j, the on'y Suites the Democrats controlled, as i'mtieated by the elections of Governor, were Counocticnt, California, Delaware, New Jersey and New York, tire in all. All the lest were under Radical rule, Now, out of the Ihirty-ti'jht Spates iu tbe Union, the Democracy coutrol timity four, leaving the Republicans bat thiiicn, not counting Maine, which may have a Democratic or Greenback Governor, but is certain not to have a Republican.

A Word A Third Varty a Delusion "In th present s ate tf the country, srijs the Erie 0!trrcr, "a third patty is a delusion a sntre pet to catch unsuspecting: voters for the benefit of the liepnblrcan or ganiza ion." "Any laboiing mau," -aid Hon. John F. F-ll?tt, at Hamilton, Obi on Tuesday, "who at this election bends his ueck to the Republican yoke thould never again complain of burden' and dis tress." The same can be said of the men who are deluded iuto a third party organ ization. There is not an act upon the "sta tute books the third party leaders complain of that, at tbe time it was passed by tha Republicans, was not opposed by the Dem ocrats of the Sena'e and llone.
