ELDIE'D GOLD PIECE Creeping up the white hills, the first red flush, deepening as It rose higher and high er, audit last, caught on the point of a thousand silver arrows, went flashing away. Some into chambers of wealth, where little children lay asleep on pillows of down and under counterpanes of damask and lace.— Others' into homes of poverty, striking agalmt the dark wall and slanting across hard beds and into thin, weird faces, blue and pinched with want and misery. "Come, Carl, It is late;" and Constance Weber pressed her pule lips to the boy's brown check. A tear fell on the patched counterpane as Constance turned away.— Carl bad gone to bed tired and hungry, and now there was another day to be endured. It had not alwais been thus ; there was a time when she conk win enough to keep them : butfnow—and a sigh crept up to her lips, and Constance looped np the faded curtain, while a shower of sunbeams filled the room with brightness. "It is a nice morning; I wish—," but Carl did not finish. Constance stood there with the basket. "It will not get much," as she gave him a few small coin. Carl buttoned his coat over the money, and opened the door. Mrs. Weber had not always been poor. She was a widow, and reverses had followed so closely but that for Constance she would have sunk under them. Carl was ten years old, and possessed of a brave,;manly spirit. Scanty though his fare and worn his clothes, tk , be said nothing. He knew w der for his mother and his slat o bear. Carl Weber's home was t the only one the sunbeams entered on that bright Decem ber morning. In another section of the city, a blue eyed girl danced up and down the warm, cheerful apartment ; her long, loose curls floating around her neck with nameless grace and fascination, her gleeful laugh like the music of silver bells. "Christmas is coming! and the lots of presents I shall have." The bitter, biting cold was nothing to her, and the sunbeams were such frequent visitors that she did not notice them. "Claintmas is coming !" and again the fairy laughed and clapped her hands." "And my little girl is happy In the an ticipation ;- and Mr. Harvey laid aside his paper. "yes, papa, enemy gold piece Du to do with just as I please, won't it be nice r Through the half open doorcame the tinkle of a bell, Mr. Harvey 1 , 2 d Elsie into the breakfsst room.

A blessing asked, Mr. Harvey sipped his. coffee, while a troubled expression crept over his face.— Turning to his wife, he said : "I saw a sight this morning that made me feel sad.. A poor little boy, half clad and shivering with cold, out with his basket for chips and coals. All around him happy children were shouting, 'Christmas is corn ing ! Christmas is cousin !' 'lint not for us,' he muttered. There was such a tende r pleading look in his eyes, I stopped. "Why not for you, my boy ?'• "We are too poor," "Shivering and blue, I could only ask his name and where he lived, and told him to carry home his coal and return. and I would fill his basket with something else." Elsie finished her breakfast and stood be side.her, father, her great, wondering eyes full of sympathy. "There's a small boy wants to see Mr. Harvey,".and Jane opened the hall door. "Give him a seat by the fire," said Mr. • Harvey, andhe filled a plate from the boun tiful supply before him. "May I carryit to hini,*pa?" "If you please ; and wben he has finish: ed his breakfast you.may bring him in. I am interested and would know more about him." "He says he would rather take it home, if you please, papa," and Elsie's • face was . eloquent. "Tell him to eat his breakfast, his basket shall be well filled," returned Mr. Ilarvey. jintreatiei were vain, Carl could not eat .; 'IOW filling his basket Le aln;ost ran out of the gate, so eager was he to reach his cheer less home. Little as they knew of his home and short as his story, Carl Weber found frieads in Mr. Harvey's Warily ; and cold and stinging as it was, Mrs. Harvey started out with the intention of calling on Mrs. Weber and Constance, The snow flakes were tossing wildly, and the driving-wind made it almost impssible to proceed;, but the thought of Carl's sad face and the comfortless room in which she knew he lived urged her on ward. It was a dingy looking place in a narrow street. Carl met her at the door. "My mother will be glad to see you ; but Constance has gone to her lesson." Mrs. Harvey followed through a long hall and np the dark stairs to the fourth floor.— It was a large:bare room, neat and tidy, but lacking all the comfotis of a home.— Mrs. Weber was a pale, slight woman, scaroely middle aged, figure stooping, and with an expression on her face that comes only to one through the gates of suffering. Kr. Weber had been an organist in one of Ike large churches in the city; through the influenita of s . fr'end, he attended the evening meetings in another• church, and at once became interested in seeking the salvation of his soul. For ti he lost has position. Hie health had been delicate for some menthe, and now there were ee dad; sympUnns of disease. A cough set in, he grew - weak and ibverish, and before long he was conghted to his room entirely. De- prived of his misty, his little means were soon egansted- In thia emergency, Con stance began ,to give lawns; but the new bath that sustained her father had become here. -f . 3he was Cheated ; old friends tied, witta difilcuhy she ebtained pupil®, and these from *Um that coda afford bet a small compenatlon. atilt Is five Willis since my husband's dolitb;" mild ItTrs• Waal "lifd 'bY bimuNOPS our lomitton, Cinditatce.his immeded ° 14141 0g afOr *OIL I Qua but think it would - hive been better for My &ahead, as.

"low could I when I saw it brought him into trouble."' While 'Mrs. Weber was speaking, a fair faced faxen•haired little girl pressed close to her side. "Don't cry, dear mother, God Will take care of us. It was only last night sister told me how much He loves poor friendless people," and the tears were wiped from the mother's face. , "Would you like to hear me sing?" asked the child, with a sweet timidity that won Mrs. Harvey. "I should like very much to hear yen, my child." "Sister can sing, papa taught her, and she taught me. Carl can sing too, wo'n't you, Carl ?" • ' The — looy had been perfectly• silent. A look fromi his mother, and he stood by the side of Pauline. A lover of music and no mean performer, arvey was spell-bound. Never be fore had she listentd to such music from children's voices, and she quickly saw the e .pabilities of both if duly instructed and cared for. At dinner, as Mrs. Harvey was telling her husband of the circumstances of the family, Elsie slipped from her chair and, whisper ing to her mother in a low tone, ran up to her room and soon returned with a ten dol lar gold piece. "If I may spend this as I clacose, I will give it to Carl, papa." "Are you sure you would rather give it to Carl, my child r' "Yes, papa ; I am quite sure ; with yon and mamma, it will be happy Christmas it we don't have presents; and Carl and Pauline haven't any papa. Will you give it to him to-night, please." "Yes, my child ; and I will tell him it came from my little Elsie, and that she learned from the Bible that to divide that she has with those ,that have less is well pleasing to TI im who has promised to. give us freely all things that we need. We are nut commanded to refrain from giving through fear that oar future will be clouded. As stewards fur God. it will be unpardona ble if we knowingly negl&ct those of His children whu may be in want or in dia MEI That night there was Joy in Mrs. \Veber's home. Mr. Harvey had been there ; and there was hope in the mother's heart, and Carl's eye sparkled as he laid his head on Constance's knee and balanced Elsie's gift in his brown hand. A year passed : in a lovely cottage we and Mrs. Weber: - her face is no longer pale and careworn, a cheerful light is in her eye, and her heart is at peace. The sweet faith in which her husband died has become her own ; the Bible is no longer a sealed book, she loves its pages, and its promises are her delight. Constance is still a teacher, loved and ap preciated by her pupils ; while Carl is at school, and Pauline is rapidly improving in music. Mr. Harvey's family have become fondly attached to Mrs. Weber and her children. Elsie is one of Constance's pupils.. The history or the gold piece is often referred to; *hilt: Carl lo , ks hack to that 'cold trecem= her znorning wizen for the first time he re ceived chafity. —And all the time God was watching over Isn't it sweet to think the path we lead i 4 of Ills own appointing ?". Talking and contrasting the past with the present ; His goodness passing before them, and drawing them still nearer in their love and gratitude. "It did seem strange, and I 'mien ques tioned," said Constance, "if God is good why does He permit all this? I see it dif ferently now. Usti we not been dealt with in this manner we should never have turned to Him; we should never have listened to the words, tome unto - me ;' never grasped the on; :dal died hand." Thus, in the chain of God's providence, a Mile thought in the heart of a child was the means not alone of placing a family in comfortable circumstances, but in winning them to love the blessed Saviour. It is years since the incidents here related took place. Mrs. Weber's work is done. Constance and Pauline are now known as eminent musicians, while Carl exhibits a genius in the mechanism and perfecting of musical instruments quite as wonderful. There is no chance work in God's great plan: as the small wheel or the scarcely perceptible pivot could not be left out in the successful operation /if a great machine, so the lettle links, obscure and unpretending as they may be, have to de with the great life pattern we are each every day perfect. ing. 13. J. CONDITION OF THE Swiss Monarrarsaaas. —Such floods that have visited Switzerland and Northern Italy this year, are terrible enough . in the most productive countries.— DM there it is immeasurably worse, and the loss which amounts to frox three to four millions of dollars, is aggravated iu its ef fects by the fact that It falls upon the very poor, such poor as we In this land can scarcely- conceive of.

His winters are eight months, his summers four month long; he has no spring and no autumn. He lives in a small, rude structure, half house, half stable, close to the torrent that rushes down his valley.

MAN FOR A distinguished citizen of St. Louis,* professional gentleman of reliable Judg merit, has just returned froin Washington, where he had an intrOduction to the Presi dent elect, and very pleasantly relates char acteristics of the interview that go far to exhibit the clear thought and the indepen dent, judgment of the man whom the poo• pie honor. A 11AL.17 IROTR WITH aiontaiL GRANT Editors Missouri Democrat It was my good fortune . this morning to spend a short time with the man to whom more than to any other the eyes of the na- tlon are at present turned. The headquarters of the armies of the United States is an unassuming two-story building, formerly a private residence, di rectly opposite the Navy Department. In company with a friend, your correspondent presented himself, inquiring of an orderly in the hall If the General was tn. Receiv ing an affirmative reply, our cards were.sent up. In a few moments we were requested to walk up stairs to the General's office. Ills office is a front room on the second floor, about sixteen feet by eighteen. It is carpeted with an ingrain carpet of bright cheerful colors, giving the room the air of a parlor rather than that of a business office. There are two windows In front and one at one side. By the side window is a low desk for a member of his staff. Near it is a table about six feet long, covered with piles and bundles of official documents, all tied with the inevitab:e red tape. Grant's desk —a common office desk—is between the front windows. A frame, covered with sus pended maps, and a half dozen chairs com plete the furniture. When we entered the General was out. In a moment he entered by a side door.— No one could fail to recognize him instantly. The likenesses one sees everywhere are very like indeed. They do not fldtter, as is usually the case, neither do they make him younger than he really appears. The pic tures we see of Johnson are not like him; he is much older, more wrinkled and care worn than they represent him. Not so, however, with Grant. The pictures of the shops, the parlors and cabins, are strikingly true representations of the man. Grant's countenance is pale, and has an expression of sadness. He has a noticeable stoop of the shoulders, and walks with a shuffling gait. He looks like a man bur dened with care and anxiety, and as if It was by a strong effort of the will that he was bearing up against it, determined that he would not yield to it or be affected by Ile was dressed in a plain suit of black, with nothing whatever about his person or office to indicate his rank. After a cordial greeting, be offered us seats, and in a- very easy, familiar way, entered into conversation. In a few mo menta Senator-was announced, with Judge------of Louisiana. "General," said the Senator, "Judge -wished to see you a few moments and consult with you in regard to the improve ment of the levees of the lower Mississippi. We wish the United iStates Government. to endorse, and thus guarantee the bonds of the State of Louisiana for the restoration and improvement of the levees." "I hope the Government will not do it," the General replied with a quick, positive utterance that was not only decisive and dual on that subject, but almost stunning. •'l3ut General," urged the• Senator, "we only wi,h the United States to indorse the bonds, so that we can sell them without a ruinous dizcojult, giving the United States ample security for the entire amount, so that it would be impossible for the Govern ment to lose a cent in any emergency." Again Grant quickly interrupted, "I net , er knew a Government to become responsi ble for any amount that it did not ultimately „have to puy. You'uow want the Indorse ment of the bonds. If that is given, you will soon want to legislate for the payment of the bonds." "General," said the Senator, "you are too hard on us." "While we are discussing on all sides," ;talc' Grant, "how the national debt Is to be paid, I shall oppose any increase of the national obligations.!' "It is impossible to cultivate our lands," interposed the Senator. "The levees are absolutely necessary." "I know all about the levees," he an swered, "I served in that country when a yonng man, and I had something to do my self with the breaking of those leYees." "But,' said the Judge, "millions of acres of theAiest land in the world are subject to overflow." "Let them overflow, and let them stay under water," said Grant, "until their own ers are willing that Northern men and Northern capital should come in and pro tect and improve them*. Northern men with ample capital are ready Jo make it gar den of your State, and you won't let them do It. Your large landholders,ars as hostile to the United States Government to-day as they have ever been ; and if the Govern went should rebuild their levees it would not change them a particle. I know no way the Government could have adopted for rebuilding the levees but to have confiscated the lands of those engaged in rebellion, and used the proceeds to restore the country. As that was not dune, nothing remains but. to set your ucgroes to work, and invite in and welcome Northern men." "General," said the Judge, `the negrees won't work "Won't work," Grant quietly replied, "they'll work if you'll pay them for It." "Am I not right ?" he added. "Is there not such a hostility of Notthem men that it amounts in most sections of the' State to a practical exclusion of them from the ag ricultural interests of the country ? Is there not au unwillingness to divide up the lands and sell in small parcels to those Who might immigrate; and is, there'not a general ten dency to secure the services of the negroes without prompt and adequate compensa don ?" "I must say," said the Judge, "that - there IS more or less of truth in all these points,' "Then," said Grant, "I think you will have to build your 'own levees, or wait un• dei water until you are willing men should come in who will baud them." The above, though not alt that was said, gives the substance and spirit of the conver bation. It shows much more plainly than any state tokutal hive seen precisely :where the Predawn, elect now stands with, refer ence to - the South.
