tea the pang of their loss more intense and
agonizing.
,
Time passed. on, and Katydid not come hack,
and no tidings were received froniher. Inde64l: ,
Mr. Oonrlay sternly forbade any search being
made. He did not know whether ahewas Richard
Bale's wife or not. He did net care, he„ said.
Bbe had brought dishonor,intt shame upon her-,
selff and him, by her conduct, and Rio was now
to him a stranger, and, for all he cared, an out..
cast and a wanderer OH the , face of the carp.
She bad chosen her lot, and now let her accept
It, and if shelled sowed bitterness and tribulation,
let her eat the fruit thereof, for he disovined her
forever. 8o John Gourley talked when the blow
first fell, and then he commanded silence upon
the subject in his household. But away down in
hie heart' the grief was ' intense, and
the wound remained unclosed, although
he shut his lips and tried manfully to stifle the
fierce pan.
Upon Mary the blow fell with double force.
She not only lost her sister, but her lover had
proved false and been taken away from her, and
it was her sister who had done the cruel deed. It
was not in her nature to complain, or to give way=
to violent outbursts of grief, even if it had been
pbrmitted so to do, but she felt the hurt even
more keenly because of this, and its effect was
more deadly. Ido not' "believe a great deal in
in broken hearts; there 4s , very , much , nonsense
wr itten about them, but there .are gentle, sensi
tive women, such as Mary Golirlay, whose vital
ity is almost bound up in their affectiona,and,who,
under the effects of severe,d6premion and unend
ing heartache, will wither and droop and - die.
mrtry was calm and patient beneath her heavy
burden, but it was plain to: see that it was more
•than she could bear.. Her pale face grew whiter,
her cheeks lost their roundness, and her frail
form shrank away, day after day, until it became
painful to see her slowly moving about the htmse,
attending to her duties.; Her mother's keen eyes
watched with poignant distress the feeble efforts
which she made to smile and to be cheerful,when
in her company. At last she took to her room
and then •to bed, and her malady,- so ofteni-alasi
incurable, seemed gradually eating away her
life.
The windows of her room opened out upon the
quiet, grass-covered street; and thence it looked
beyond to the graveyard,where multitudes of the
ancient:people of the town lay reposing in their
final slumber, and from the •midst of which the
little church held aloft its snow-white spire, to
point the 'We''Y their souls had gone. And the spire
seemed to do more. Every day when the sun
rose across the water, 'and tinged 'the restless
wave's with purple and vermillion, the shadow of
the, spire fell into Mary's window, and' slowly
receding until it crept across the tomb-stones, up
to the foot of the tower, seemed to point the way
the pale sufferer soon must go, and to indicate
the place where her poor, wasted body must rest
until that second Christmas morning of the
resurrection.
But happily for this story;for her father and
mother, for you and I, and for another, the
shadowy prophecy proved false. If there is a
cure for a broken heart it is a homeopathic one.
It consists simply in the application of another,
to supply the place of that - which caused the
disease: The tendrils rudely torn from the sup
port around which they clung, feel out' for
'another and a better one. `lf they do not reach
it they ehrivel up and die, but if it comes, they
will wind around it, and grow as , strong and as
luxuriantly as if they had clasped it from the be
ginning. It was a long t iong while before Mary
found healing in anything. The anniver
sary of that fatal Christmas eve had passed,
and the bright summer garments of earth
had begun to grow rusty and threadbare
in the autumn winds, before else rose from her
sick-bed, restored to health. The physician who
worked th i te, wondrous cure was no other than
the young clergyman, Mr. Slimmer, who pre
sided over the little sanctuary across the way
and who, having long ago been an unsuccessful
suitor for Mary's hand, determined, like a true
ana vacant lover, to remain single- and prove
the .height and depth of his affection. Brother .
Slimmer was a first-rate fellow,: with no predilen
don for High or Low Church, old or new school,
ofany of the multitude of divisions into which
the Church militant arranges itself, for war upon
itself. He believed that his duty was to preach
the Gospel, in its ptirity, to rich and poor
alike; to do whatever goodthlng his hand found
to do; to live without fear and without reproach)
(albeit he had a very small salary to livo upon),
and to minister to the sick, the weary and the
distressed among his people. The Reir. Mr.
Slimmer rightly concluded that if he attended to
his duty manfully and well, he would have quite
enough to do, without quarrelling with his
neighbors about the special routes each of them
had selected to travel to Heaven upon.
In the performance of his office, he had been
called into minister to the spiritual wants of the
fair.girlwho lay, as all thought, stretched upon
her dying bed. ItLwas a sad trial for a man in
hie position, and he felt it the more, because he
had an inward ccetecloueness that the invalid
could lead him,through fields of religions expo
rience,"untrodden before by him. But he- went,
day after day, and performed hie duty, and, as it
appeared to give comfort to the, girl, he at last
took absolute pleasure in it, and he would bring
a bunch of flowers. for her table, or, some dainty
delicacy every day; and , she always seemed to be
very grateful for them. Poor Slimmer's lips were
always devout, but lam sadly afraid his eyes
must have told that old story of his heart, for
Mary felt drawn towards him unconecionsly,
and began to realize, in the purity and beauty of
hie character, what a good and tree maxi might
be, even without the dashing grace and spirit of
Dick Hale, which new seemed coarse and mean
by the side of Slimmer's shy sensitiveness and
gentleness.
When Mary began to grow better, Brother
Slimmer discontinued his visits, until the time
when ebe at last could come down stairs, and 'sit
propped up with pillows, by the fireside. Mi.
Slimmer then deemed it Incumbent upon him.a.s
a elergyinan, to drop in frequently upon the
family; although there is great reason to believe
that spiritual things were not discoursed to any
extent upon these occasions. But Mary seemed
satisfied, and Slimmer's conscience did not up
braid him, until that night, weeks afterwards,
when, sitting by her side, as she half reclined in
the great arm chair, lie took her little, pallid
hand in his and blurted out an honest gonfes
skin of the existence of the old flame, which new
burned more brightly than ever in his heart.
Then, when he saw the pang which shot across
Miry's face, as her mind recalled the fake lover,
the dishonored and betrayed sister, and all the
daili and gloomy past, he regretted his hasty
action, and prepared to hear another refaeal of
his request. But the old love was dead now in
Mary's heart, and she bowed her head, while a
faint flush brightened her cheek as she answered
"Yee,
need not state the result. It is the old, old
story which half the world knows already, and
which the other half should know Borne day or
other.

bouses, upward nrFards, the great city which lay
miles away. The - horse aped , rapidly along, and;
kept pace with ill() thoughts which whirled
through Katy's excited brain. "By this timelier

that he would purene her, and drag her
back, to face her acquaintances who would learn
of her flight. the company at the hone would
know it instantly, and would spread the news
through the town.. She could never bear the
shame and mortification of a return. Yes, she
had gone forever." She could not retrace her
steps, though sorrow, and distress and despair
should be her lot; and then there welled up
in her hgart, her love for the kind parents who
had been so Indulgent and affectionate to her,
and had made her home so happy, until this
man came there, to dospolliand darkeirit, Re
morse and foreboding filled her mind as 'the re
flected upon the misery she had bronAllt upon
those to whom she had always been bound by
tender ties, and, as the utter helplessness of
effecting reconciliation, or obtaining forgiveness,
dawned upon her, she shut, her, teeth with despe
ration, and thought of her wild and tierce love
for Dick, as she placed her - trembling hand upon
his arm,Land received from'him words of comfort
and encouragement.
On they dashed through the night,with unabated
velocity untilonany miles from Oldeastle, they en
tered the streets of a small town, and drove up
to the door of at hotel. At the sound of the bells
the door opened, and three or font...persons came
out and greeted Dick cordially, while Katy sat in
the sleigh. Dick had arranged to be married in
the hotel that night, and, having previously im
pressed some of his friends,resident in the town,
with the belief that he was to 'elope with the
dui-et - ter of a senselessly obdurate man, they
had agreed to assist him. So all was in readiness
for the bridal party. The . parlor was warmed
ilnd lighted, and two or three ladies living in the
house gain.thebride a warm greeting as she en
tered.. A magistrate!, was sent for, -late as it was,
and Katy trembling and pale, with a vague •un
rest in her mind, stood up and accepted Dick as
her husband.
The neat morning they went to the city in an
early train, and Richard procured rooms for him
self and wife at a fashionable hotel. He had a
Small'fortune, and upon this It was his purpose
to live, and support his wife in that style which
Richard Hall thought becoming to the wife of so
ftne a gentleman as himself.
They lived happily and pleasantly enough for
a while, for Dick was kind and indulgent, and did
allithat-lay in man's power to do, to recompense
her for the sacrifices she had made. But Katy
never rid her mind of that - self- - reproachful feel
ing, which was born in her when she took her
farewell of her father's, house. She gave her
self up wholly and completely to her husband.
She had forsaken all for him—father, mother,
sister, home and friends. He was all she had in
this world„ and she clung to him with desperate
aml, frantic affection, feeling that if she lost him,
or was separated from ldin, she would have
nothing more to live for in this world.
But as month after month sped away into the
irredeemable past, Mr. Dick began to grow weary
of his wife's importunate love. That which had
at first seemed so tender and beautiful, and had
filled him with intensest delight, was now dis
tasteful. He was tired of her, and he began to
mek more congenial society among the dissolute,
in, whose companionship he had once before
taken so much pleasure. Poor little Katy was
left alone now, many and many a night, and her
bright black eyes often brimmed over with tears,
as she was overcome with a sense of her lonell
ness,, and desolation.
,But she never blamed
Dick. Her... ardent love framed *thousand ex
cuses for, him, and against her own conscious
ness, she tried to persuade „herself that
he was called away by, business and
that the warmth of his- affection had not been
chilled. .Alas.! she knew better, and she redou
bled her efforts to make herself pleasing to him.
But Master Dick would not be pleased. He
squandered his substance in gaming hells. and in
dissipation, and more than once, came tottering
into his room in a stateiof wretched intoxication:
And then his funds ran low, and he announced
to Katy that he could no longer maintain her in
her elegant apartments; so they removed to - a
poor boarding house, into a meanly and scantily
furnished room. Here, within a few days of the
anniversary of the unhappy evening of their
flight, Katy's child was born, and the forlorn
mother, filled with anguish at the thought of her
husband's brutality, clasped ,the baby to her
breast, and felt at last, that it might be that they,
two,, the poor, weak, broken-hearted woman
and the helpless babe, would have to fight their
way through the world, alone.
So the winter passed, and spring came on, with
Dick going from bad to worse. Intoxication was
a daily and nightly matter with him now, and
the landlady, for decency sake, was compelled to
tun; them out, to seek for other quarters. A
step lower they went this time, and Dick, with,
the bare remnant of his means left, behaving
more cruelly than ever. At last be came home
one evening drunk, and, seeming excited and
angry, at the continued crying of his child, he
lifted his arm, and with his clenched flit, smote
the fair face of the woman he had once loved,
and then staggered out of the room, leaving her ;
with, her face buried in the pillows where
her child rested, sobbing as H her poor, distracted
little heart would break.
d Dick never, came back. The papers next
morning contained the following parapraph
Rex °VEIL—Last night the body of a man,
named Richard Hale, was found lying upon the
track of the Blank Railroad, near C— St., with
his skull crushed by the wheels of the cars. It is
eupposed.he fell upon the track in a drunken St,
and was run.over by a coal train. The, Coroner
will hold an inquest to-day.
This filled tho cup of Katy's bitterness. Des
pite his brutality, he was her husband, and she
had loved him, and she now gave way to intense
and terrible grief. She was too poor 'to bury'
Dick's body decently herself, and she followed it;
as best she could, to the pauper's grave, in which
it was placed by the unkindly - hands - of the-ap
pointed officials. Then she turned , away full• of
misery and with a sense of utter desolation, and
set her face ,tdWards that great struggling world
in which she was to become a combatant for the
life of herself and her child.. She had no-money, , •
and was withoutlYlends to whonfilie timid dp-il

for there was no one to care for her child during
her absence. Her only resource 'then, was the
commonest and worst one of so many poor wo
men in her situation, hef needle, and she sot
about obtaining employment for it.
Little did she know, poor girl, of the obatacles
which lay in her Way, of the thousands who,
like her, were battling for lib, wielding with
worn fingers that tiny needie-ole weapon
against the grim gianti, awl/Won' and Death.
She could not understand, for she - ]tad never

her, makes her lese than a responsible iitukiati„

like other women, heard something of this atro
cious system of ecOnorny, in her prosperity; but
she, had been happy and contented, and had
scarce` realized It, or given It ithhoughL How, a
and and disheartening eXperience bronght the
whole iniquitous truth to her comprehension,
and she-found how very hard a thing it is, for a
`woman to be honest, and:win her fially bread.
She obtained clothing to make, and found that
thirty or forty cents a day was the largest sum
she could earn, by tolling steadily, fro) Mem
to bighteen holm, 'until her head AWAtn, her body
ached, and her tired fingers refused to do their

be robbed of her gentleness and purity, if she
were permitted to mingle with coarse; rough
men," as if "coarse, rough men," did not associ
ate with women at home, and In society, and
were not better for it. • .
• But Katy, like many another poor and lonely
woman, had no "domestic hearth." She had a
child and herself, to feed and clothe and house,
and she was willing to work day and night, if she
might do it, to sustain herself, so that her baby
might have a protector, and of be left alone in
u e
the world. And en she atm led on, toiling for
the pittance which barely s orted her life, and
not daring to ease the pain at her heart with the
tears which sprang up now and then into her
dark eyes, for fear that she would lose a moment
of time from her wearisome labor. But human
endurance could not longwitkstand the effects of
Such ceaseless, unremitting toil, and Katy was
compelled, for the sake of her fast-failing health,
to labor for .shorter periods each day, and her
supply of food was smaller in consequence. But
she bore it all with fortitude and resignation, de
termined to brave it through for the child's sake,
although the pale, wan cheeks, and the sunken
eyea, with great rings abent them, warned her
that she must change her mode of life or be
taken away. Then she gave , out entirely, and
could do no Work, and lying upon her bed, with
death for herself and baby staring her in the
face, her mind reverted, as it had so often done
of late, to her father's house, where there was
plenty for her, and where, if he would only re
ceive her back and forgive her, she could lire
and die in peace, and her child would have kind
andlgentle hands•to minister to it, when she had
gone. But would they so receive her? She who
had dishonored and disgraced them? Indeed,
she did not know if her conduct had not by this
time killed both father and mother. But to re
turn and beg for pardon was her only hope, and
if it was refused, she would go away, and give up
hope, and faith, and life, and succumb to starva
tion and cold. So, when she could summon
strength enough, she rose from her bed, and,
taking her baby in her arms, she turned her steps
once more, hungry and weary, toward that far
off homd from which she had flown,a bright and
beautiful.girl, only two years before.
it.was Christmas Eve again, and the town of
Oldcastle was once more in a hubbub of excite
ment. The snow of the street was flecked and
barred with the yellow light from the houses and
the shop windows. The eager, ehlldrenotiespite
the bitter cold, were pressing their noses against
the panes, and gazing with envioua eyes upon
the toys and the sugar plums, displayed in profu
sion within. The street were lined With wagons,
from which the farmors were selling turkeys and
chickens, and apples, and the thousand good
things which go to make those jolly, who gather
around the Christmas table. Other wagons come
in from the country, bearing huge loads of cedar
and pine, and laurel, the larger trees Often trail
ing out upon the ground and sweeping a broad
pathway through the snow. Some of those were
on their way to church, where busy hands were
engaged in decorating chancel and gallery and
windbw with the bright greens, while the clatter
of the tongues of the young men and maidens
who carried on the werk kept pace with their
quick fingers.
The Rev. Mr. Slimmer was an advocate of
Christmas decorations. It was a good and ancient
custom, he said; to make the evergreen the em
blem of the perennial freshness and beauty of
religion. But Mr. Slimmer was not present to
superintend the,work upon that evening. lie was
content to leave it to more skillful hands, while
he made his accustomed visit to the fair Mary
Gourley. The Gourley mansion upon this night
showed no' sign of merriment and festivity, as
was the wont in every year, save one, gone by.
By the blazing grate in the parlor sat John
Gourley and his wife side by side, both gazing
into the flre,and thinking,doubtless,of the sad and
melancholy past. Upon the other side sat Mary
Gourley and Mr. Slimmer, she with her hand in
his, and both speaking in whispers those soft
nothings which lovers have said over and over .
again through all time.
The memories of that night were painful to
them all. Each remembered what it hid been,
and what it might have been, but for the mad
folly of that lost and nameless child, who had
flung herself away.: There had not been a gath
ering in the house since that fatal night, and to
them it seemed likely there would never be
another, while the Gourlays lived there. No
lamp burned in the room, but the warm, steady
light from the fire filled it with a pleasant glow,
and, made the window-panes ruddy and bright..
While they sat there, a poor woman, clad in thin
and tattered garments and clasping a baby to
her breast, 'came, with hesitating steps, ever the
slippery pavement, and stopped in front' of the
house. Mary Gourley, chancing to look around,
caught sight of a pale, wan' face, with I
sunken eyes, peering through the pane,
and looking so sad and sorrowful that her
heart was touched. • She was strangely
Interested in it, and , she went out to call the
wretched creature in, thinking it very fitting,
upon this Christmas Eve, to exercise Christian
charity to a poor homeless creature.. She went
to the door and opened it, while Slimmer must
needs be present to assist her in her good work.
, Mary stood up4r the step, and through the
darkness called to the ,worhan to come in. At
first there was no response, and then, in the
flood of light whiCh poured from the hall lamp,,
appeared Katy Gourley, looking, eagerly, into her
sister's face, as if afraid . she would not recognise
her. But' she did recognize her, and, with' a
strange cry of joy and fear, sprang down to'
meet her, and, clasped her in her arms, and
kissed her, and_ :wept over her, while the be
wildered Slimmer stood in the doorway, not
knowing precisely whether Mary had' not sud
denly gone mad. • Then Mary said that it was
Katy come back, and the excited Slimmer
drew them both into the house and was almost
beside himself with bewilderment and delight.
They hesitated a momernt, and then - led - her into
the parlor. Standing by the door, withler babe
in her arms, afraid to enter' further, both father
and mother recognized her instantly, and 'the
mother sprang up to, 'nab toward hell But
John Gourley laid hht ..hand upon' .her arm and
restrained her,' * -

she reached the , doorway she trembled,staggered,
and would have fallen to the iloor hut for the
support of her sister's arm. The baby was; taken
away from her by Mrs. Gourley, who looked into
its pinched and pallid face; and saw that hunger
And Cold had done their wOrk, and that its brief,
unconscious life was ended. The mother reco
vered rind, tuning to her sister, said:,
"Mary, be was my husband. He is dead, and I
am dying. I cannot stay here, and I have no
other place to go to; oh! what eball I do?" and
the tears came into her eyes once more.
Mary Wend her forehead and smoothed back
ler dishevelled hair with - a gentle hand and
lobked beseechingly at her father, as Mrs. Gour
ley begged him, for her sake, to relent. John
Gourlay's heart was not hard, and it had been
difficult or him to carry his purpOse this far. do
now, hermalked quickly over to Katy and took '
her in his arms, whispered to her, that she was
welcome back to her home, and should stay there
imil l i t zver leave It again.
n Katy sat down in the old place by the
fireside, with the tears coursing down her cheeks,
and they took the child away and hid from her
the fact that it was dead, and Mary's busy bands
prepared food and clothing for her; and, with
loving and tender hearts around her, she
sat there and felt that all her sorrows, and ,
troubles and 'wanderings were at an and, and
that she had comb to perfect and enduring peace
at last.
But this veracious history must be brought to
a conclusion. The months rolled away, and
Katy was reconciled to the loss of her child, and
she grew as happy and contented as she could be
with all that cloud of trouble and afflictions
hanging over her past life. But she gradually
regained something of her old beauty, the, roses
came back upon her cheeks, and the light ap
peared in her eyes and, purified by suffering,she
became lovelier than ever.
Tier old friends flocked once more around her;
and what could be more probable than that,
among them, should come honest Tom Simpson,
with his love warmer than ever before ? I could
tell how he wooed and won her, and how, upon
the fourth Chrifitmas eve within the scope of
this history,, the .Gourlay mansion grew bright
with something of its old glory, and how Mary
and Mr. Slimmer, and Katy and Tom Simpson
stood up in one end of the room, while a double
marriage ceremony was performed, in the pre.
Bence of many of the company who had' been
there when the elopement took place. 1 might
also relate how both sisters were happy in their
choice, and how, in Katy's case, as the years
passed on,"each exceeding the other in the con
tentment and happiness they brought, she came
at last to look back upon her trials as the means
chosen to make her a better ands nobler woman,
and she even came to regard her suffering as a
blessed thing, for the contrast it formed with
the joyful present. For if it be tree
"That a sorrow's crown of sorrow Is remembering
lappier things,"
bow much truer is it,that the crown of joy is the
memory of great tribulation long past and for
ever unreturning.
CHRISTMAS REVERIES.
RY WILLIAM SAWYER
Is th season changed ? Is the change in me ?
Is Christmas the joy that it used to be ?
Are the berries as red, the leaves as bright?
If so, then my eyes aro but dull to-night.
Is the music as gay, the dance•as wild,
As when my heart danced with the dancing
child ?
I see them as they lightly fleet,
Mocked by their shadows on the wall;
But beat no measure with my feet,
To me a change is over all.
Is that alone in me?
I sit and Wonder,—l think and gaze,—
Is love what love was in bygone days?
Are the kisses as sweet to rosy lips?
Does the blood still rush to the finger tips,
And the glad heart throb at a touch, a word,
At a scented tress, or a sigh half heard ?
I gaze as at seta. play,
Strangely incredulous of all,
And see, while these are bright and ;ay,
The shadow of the curtain fall
Alike on them and me.
Just now a mistletoe spray was cast -
By a heedless hand, as the dancers pass'd—
Cast at my feet, and then dragged aside :
"Crush'd kisses!" the girls In their laughing
cried.
Ah yes, and crnsh'd hearts, too, men have
known,
Jested about in as merry a tone.
I hear the music in a dream,
The strings are throbbing dull and dead;
My thoughts are back with thoughts of old,
I hear through years that long hove led,
And left a wieck of me !
A Christmas memory stirs my heart,
Again In the past I play my part; •
The friends:l have loved my pleasure share,
The faces that youth and joy make fair ;
And gaily the joyous laughter rings,
As bubbling fresh from the heart it springs ;
And from the midst a fragile form
Trie forward with a &di srise
And puts a little had in mine,'
And looks up with her trustful eyes,
While smiling upon me.
Those trusting eyes, that winning smile,
My life from loneliness they beguile:
I love—l am loved—oh, doubly blest!
A boy's heartthrobs in my happy breast,
Till swift ! in an instant, my joy is lied ;
I am moaning alone, "Not dead? Not dead ?"
Since that dark hour I leek on life.
Through the distorting gloom of years,
And happy faces; gentle forms,
Seem wan and wasted through my tears,
'Atid have no joy for me.
Still I ask my heart y "Is there truth in this,
Is the world as full of light and bliss,
By sorrow and suffering unsubdued ?
Is it I alone who am sad of mood ?"
(Sad, but, thank heaven ! not bitter—no !
I am not soured by the touch of woe.)
And mournful answer still is made,
"Delight is in the summer's days,
And when the winter sunset fade
The Christmas logs as brightly blaze;
The change is but in thee."
Let me depart, then this joyous scene,
Lest a sigh be board a tear be seen ;
Lest one face yield up a happy glance,
One step drag wearily, in the dance ;
Tv.ught by suffering, echoed in woe,
InNsilence and sadness lot me go,--
Sad, for the grief,my face reveals ;
Silent, because of choking tears,. -
Yet wishing happiness to all,
Aud love to light theni through the years
Dark evermore to me.

To Me Public;
Daving recently noticed in several of our
`public papers arfieles complaining of the, bad
quality , of gas and reflecting on the management
of the Trust,. I therefore deem it necessary, in
Justice to tho Board of Trustees, to the, public
and to myself, that I should make some explana
tion in regard to tho matter.
I would. theretore, state a few . simple facts,
trusting that I may be able to satisfy any intel
ligent mind, that the insufficiency of light Is not
caused by bad gas or mismanagement on the part
of those having charge of the works.
The coal we are now using is of the very best
.quality for gas purposes; the same class of coal
bas been used in the works fora number of years;
the gas is manufactured and purified in the
same manner as heretofore; the workmen cm
'
toyed are the best that can be obtained, and are
fully as skillfulAs any former ones; the
natlng power of the gas is at all times (except on
one oecaalon of which I will hereafter speak)
fully up to the standard of sixteen candles, as
tested with a Ilatawing burner consuming flvo
cubic feet per hour, under a pressure of two in
ches. It' 113 not, therefore bad gas- that causes
poor light, but- an insufficient pressure ;'for`ln
stance, any consumer may notice that on Sun
day evenings, or any evening after ten or eleven
o'clock, when heavy consumption ceases, there
is plenty of light, or the gas Is good. Now does
any sensible person believe that we manufacture
poor gas. and deliver It to the consumer before
ten or eleven o'clock, and good gas after that
time, or on Sunday evening's? Of course not; such
a thing would ) be Impossible.
I will admit, as before stated, that on one occa
sion some ten days since the gas was below the
ordinary standard. caused as follows Having
increased our make at the Pointßreeze Works to
the extent of over Bye hundred thousand cubic
feet every twenty-four house, it became necessary
to provide additional mains to remove the gas
from that point to the point of consumption, and
in making the connection of those large mains a
considerable quantity of atmospheric airway taken
into the pi pm, thereby reducing the illuminating
quality of the gas. - This gas was mostly. dis
tributed In the southern section of the city, owing
to Its being the nearest point of consumption,
and from thatbsection came the complaint.. In the
northern section of the city the adulteration was
so slight as to be scarcely perceptible.
The consumption of gas from Dec. Ist to 15th
.or thefollowing.years waa:
Cubic Feet.
InlB6o ' - - ' . 37.125,000
- In 1861 85,299,000
In 1862 37,954,000
In 1863 45.458,000
In • In 1861 45,313,000
186.5 19,439,000
, In 1866 59,190,000
In 1867
.. 56,809,000
Showing an increase in 1867 over 1860 of over
.53 per cent., with no increase in size of distribu
ting mains, thereby overtaxing the mains and
reducing the pressure on nights of heavy con
sumption below that which is necessary to
insure a proper and uniform light. This evil is
now being remedied as fast aspossible, and
would have been done sooner but for the want of
means. the Trustees having no cash capital to
work upon, and the last loan of Councils being
exhausted in the extension of manufacturing
capacity (which the foregoing table shows was
absolutely necessary), and In the laying of main
and service pipes in the newly built-up portions
•ofthe city o fherefore, all that is now required is
the layingf large distributing mains thy:high
the centre of the city, to Insure to all consumers
a free 110* of good gas.
There is another matter I would call attention
to: During the last year or eighteen months4apv
oral varieties of governors or controllers have
been introduced, and many of our citizens have
had them placed on their meters for the pur pose
of regulating the pressure of gas,. Now, while
it is not my intention to condemn them. I do say
that from the factor a majority of persons using
them not properly understanding the principle
upon which they work is to be attributed the
large portion of the clamor a' cut bad gas. A.
controller answers very well for some localities
for instance, on high points or on the line of
large mains, where there Is a very high pressure
—but at low points, unless it is properly ar
ranged, It is preventing a proper supply
of gas from passing through the meter, thereby
reducing the light and makin what the consumer
supposes to be bad gas..lt Is a certain fact that
nlne.tenths of the complaints made at our offices
of an insuilicient light prove upon examination
to be caused by the parties obstructing the (low
of gas by a controller, or by having the stops
partially closed on the inlet to the meter.
Hoping these explanations may satisfy every
complaining consumer that it Is not bad gas, but
an insufficient pressure that causes his poor_
light, I remain respectfully,
JOSEPH Ni.txuEr., Enginal.

A Desirable 1101.1 day Present.
There was a time—and not very long ago
elther—when Sewing Machines, with all their ac
knowledged utility, were among the luxuries of
social life. The few possessed them and expati
ated upon their wonderful charms with tireless
loquacity and dilated eyes, while the many looked
upon them as marvels of scientific and inventive
genius. far beyond their reach. That time has
passed by most unmistakably; and to-day, the
best beloved coadjutor of the presiding Bowing of every well-ordered household is the Sewing
"But - there are so Many different SeWing Ma
chines," the people say, "all putting forth indis
putable plaints to pre-eminent excellences, that
we arc in a quandary, and don't know which to
buy." To choose finally In such a matter. is cer
tainly Important, and we map be able to assist
some of those who are unable to decide for them
selves. At any rate we will say frankly that the
Cuovr.n & &turn Sewing Machine must be re
garded 28 one of the most perfect, complete and
desirable in the market. It is light, graceful, and
simple: it sews rapidly, undeviatingly, surely:
its stitch is compact and elegant, and never gives
out; it does everything that can be done
by any Sewing Machine, and excels all others
in its adaptability for embroidery. The
specimens of this branch of needle-work are
as wonderful as they are exquisite. The steadiest
and most Skillful band; Inspired to labor by the
fondest motives and most ingenious imagination,
could not hope to execute such _work, although
it might devote to it days and weeks o• wearying

it must by no means beforgotten that the Gnovre.

Discovery of Saurian Remains in Scot.
land.
The Inverness Courier. says: "A. very in
teresting addition has just been made to the
Elgin Aluseum, of a portion of a jaw of an
extinct crocodile or allied saurian animal,
from a sandstone quarxy at Alves. It has the
double row of teeth of the modem inhabitants
of the Nile and Ganges; a large specimen of
one of which has been placed beside it for
comparison, but the teeth of the one in stone
are at least double the size of the recent ones.
In other respects they are exactly analagous—
the two rows of teeth being similarly placed
and striated alike. In the fossil specimen
several of the teeth have fallen out, but their
•deep sockets have been preserved, and are
faithfully exhibited •in the stone, while the
others have been well used, and are sounded
on the top by the bones which the creature
bad crunched in its tremendous jaw when
alive. This unique relic was saved by one
of the quarrymen while in the act of putting
it on a cart to be sent aiVay, and noticing; -a
curious projecting mass at one corner he.
broke it off, and so saved it for the very
liable collection In which it has now been
placed. There can bo no doubt of, the rock at
Alves being of the old red sandsto ne , and our
.:English scientific friends will fled it difficult
to assign this fossil to auy newer formation,
as they have done with the other bone beds
at Morayshire.. This saurian, in fact, will
-likely •establish that the seas of the okl red
period had shores with large lagoons or estu
aries rich in a • tropical vegetation, and
abounding in amphibious reptiles! We are'
.;lad to .understand that, on the representa
tion of Bir Roderick Adurchison, the Royal
Society of Londonhave lately voted a hand: ,
some sum. , towards the exploration of .the-
bone beds at Lossiemouth; and other dis-
pined or.doubtful ineklities of Aloraylancl."

the efficient aissionary, have determined to

another column. to the charitable and benevo
lent, to furnish them with supplies of all kinds.
By reference to the advertisement, the names
and re aidencvs of the managers can be ascer
tained, and contributions can be sent to them.
It is hardly necessary to urge upon our readers
the propriety of helping to make the Christmas

whose behalf the missionary Is struggling. We
commend the subject to all who recognize the
necessity for helping forward a good and noble
work.

THE GREAT HOLLDAT ARTICLE FORTLA
MPS—Fr/Is I Fees!—While it is true that the Iwgre
gale of things that are sold and bought for presents
during the holidays is almost endless, it is amines
tionably true that seta of Furs constitute the most ole.
gent article for presenting to a lady. The popular
old Far house of our city, Messrs .A. K. A: P.
Womrath's. No. 417 Arch street." has for fvecas past
been a chief centre of attraction, and during the
present week the pressure to select from this princely
assort meat has been unprecedented. These gen
tlemen eet out early in the , ecason to, render
their stock the post desirable to select from
to purchasers of fill grades of. furs from . the
most cost y Russian sables down to the least expensive
sets known to the tradO. This
' object they have
achieved. Indeed tl eir enterprise and liberality have
well nigh secured foie their house the entire far trade
of our city; At the mere mention of Furs, the popular
mind instantly reverts to Womiath's. They have not
only far outran other farriers in the extent and mag
nificence of their stock, bat in their extremely mode
rate prices as well, which can readily be seen by com
parison. The great redaction in their prices, wo un
derstand, is partially made in view of their prospective
removal to their new store' on Chestnut street, above
Twelfth. Their establishment, until after Christmas,
will present en animated and interesting scene.
