tlio House, Hie Hon. "NVIUIani D. Kclley, of I'liilutlelpliin.
Mr.'Kclley witfl bom in Philutlelidiia, April l'itli, 1814, And Is therefore: nearly

vice In this capacity ho became nn apprentico in a jewelry establishment. Having
learned Iho trade he removed to Boston, where he worked five years journcy
man jeweler; he then returned to Philadelphia 'arid begati thdfctuity of latr, and in
the course of timo entered the profession,' ilt the samo tihiC devoting himself to
various literary pursuits.
Mr.. Jfelley.wus twice electctl Prosecuting Attorncy-nf the city nntl county of
PhihttlclpHUi,.nnd borvodifor ten years as Judge of the, Court of Common I'leas of
that city: was it deleptto to, the National IU'publican Convention at Chicago in
SG0f and one of Lincoln's heartiest supporters. He became the Itcpublican can
didate lor the'Thirty-'tjcveritli Congress, was elected, and has been returned consec
utively every term since1 his first election, by tin average majority of about 10,000
6ver his, Democratic) opponent. f . ,
Mr. .Kclley litis been und, till is a conspicuous figure in our National Legisla

varied experience in nublic life. His ureatcst ambition is to continue during life
id his present1 position as' Representative
win, no uouut, uccoru mm uiis'uunor,

brunette, bad chosen pink satin, with
cloudliko draperies of black lace; while
iho matron herself, no bad exemplifica
tion of tho poet's idea pf "fat, fair and
frr'.y," was to wear rnby velvet, richly
trimmed with point oblique laco and a
die.moud cross, which in .the absence of
her husband, sho had hired from an ac
commodating Jeweler for the occasion.
Whilo Alexia poor, heart-broken
child, was sent ruthlessly to tho depot,
where Miss Gardiner, the governess, was
telegraphed to meet her.
But Miss Gardiner; as tt chanced, did
not receive' the mestogo in time, aud was
not- there; and Mr. Herbert Hclnllyti
was' there! '
Alexia knew him very well. Sbo had
seeu him onco at ber stepmother's. He
owned a brown storie house, fronting on
the Central Park, .and a place near Lake
George, oalled Uelullyn Hill. He drove
a pair of superb, high-stepping horses,
aud owned a private pictum-gallery; and
Ermeugarde Scarlet had selected him as
tbe special target for the arrows of her
hazel eyes, this season.
Ml. Helullyn recognized Alexia at
ouco.
"Miss Scarlett's little sister, isn't it?"
said bo.
Alexia furtively whisked away ber tears
and nt-swired:
Yes."-
Is anything tba matter?" said Mr.
Helullym "Can I be of service? Pray
command me; if "
"If, you could please take roe home!"
said eager Alexia. Very slyly indeed,
mindl "because I'vo been sent back to
boarding-school before the bolldajs are
out,, jnst because Verena, Ermengirde,
uud mamma consider me too little to see
company on New Year's day.' '
"This Is serlouft trouble, iudeodl" said
Mr. Helullyn, laughing.
"Ob, it is; icdjed!" sighed Alexia.
am sixteen, you know, and I shbuld so
like to bo a young lady, like Verena and
Ermeugarde! but you see," returning to
tbo subject, "Miss Gardiner is not here

Marvelous Story
TOLD IN TWO LETTERS. I
FROM THE SONsToSfejc-t,
" GetilUmtnt My father resides at Glover,
Yt. He has been a great sufferer from Scrof
ula, and the Inclosed letter will tell you what
a marvelous effect
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
has had In bis case. I think bis blood most
have contained tho humor for at least ten
years ; but It did not show, except In the form
of a scrofulous sore on tho wrist, until abonfe
3ve years ago. From a few spots which ap
peared at that time, it gradually spread so as
to cover his entire body. I assure you be was
terribly afnleted, and an object of pity, when
be beg m using your medicine. Now, there ar
few men of his age who enjoy as good health
as lie has. I could easily name fifty persons
who would tostlfy to tho facta in his ease.
Yours truly, W. M. PaimTa.''
FROM THE FATHER:
a duty for me to state to you tbe benefit I
have derived from tho use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
Six months ago 1 was completely covered with
a terrible humor and scrofulous sores. Tho
humor causod an Incessant and Intolerable)
Itching, and the skin cracked so a to cans)
the blood to flow In many places whenever
1 moved. My sufferings were great, and my
llfo a burden. I commenced tbe use of the
SansarantLLA In April last, and hare used
It regularly since that time. My condition
began to improve at once. The sores havei
all healed, and I feel perfectly well lu every
respect being sow able to do a good day's
work, although 73 years of age. Many Inquire
what has wrought such a cure In my case, and
I tell them, as I have here tried to tell you,
