" Then yon'ro a minister, I suppose

Tho boy stnrlod to his feot sgain,
and looked ' in hi mother's cyo; but
it gave no marching ordors.
" Look-s-horc, mister," mfw appear

' I never tattlit school and novcr

" Ma'am Cult'," as lior nclirhbors
called her, dropped her hantli nt lior

" Seo here, now, nmtcr," she said,

"I'm no candldato, and I don't

the stranger then went towards Mr
4'utts, who had just leaped a pair of
Uars wliicu led from tbo potato patch
into the Itine.
Mrs. Cutts flew into tbe bouso for
lior sunbonnct, to follow tbem j but
the time sho got to tho bars, her mys
terious visitor aod CutU were driving
rapidly down tbe road.
Tho strong minded woman shouted
after he husband. " You'd bolter ooine

tho wrong way, and carried her words
into tbe potato patch. .
' Sir, said the gentleman to honest
Cutts, " I bsvo a very simple question
to ask you, but I shall have to ask you
in couudenco. I will give you five
dollars if you will promise not to re-
poat my worda until to-morrow."
' Well, eir,"-v replied - Cutts, "I
shouldn't like to nnswor any questions
tbat would make trouble among my
neighbors, I have my bands full, I
can tell you, to keep out of aorapea
now ; but I've dor.e it, snd balnt an

" Hut. sir you needn't reply to my

"Ask year question," aald Cutts,
" aud I viil not repent lt.f

' " I told them I would see you, and

dollars, and to two or three widows In
town a cord of wood each, If I succeod
in asking you this question alone, and
making sure your wife does not know

Cutts knew bis wife's " standing''
loo well to feel very sensitive, and tak
ing the bill troru tbo stranger, bo smil
ed and said
"I will go witb you to look out
cedar post and keep dark, for th
joke's ask but I doa't know as
she'll let roe stay In tbe house to-night
for I don't own it," replied tbe good
oatured Cutts.
11 Suppose you go to tnv place and

gor.
I'll do tbst,' replied CnUs. " for

" Uooil man," ssld the stranccr,

It is rather late to begin," said
Culls, shaking bis bead in a way that
would have warned others from the
trap in which flis feet wore fast
" You sc th purse is hers," ho nd
dod, and that has been a cruder
fatter than hor will to mo. Hut I will
try to begin anew, fjr her gooJ ns well

The boy was sent with tho messogo
bnt tho boy wasn't sharp enough.
Ms'am Catts discovered tho wheru
liouls of her lord, tackled up aod went
sftor hi in
All tho way homo and far into tbe
night alio used her eloquence, both in
pleading and threatening, to find nut
tho mysterions errand of "that hate
ful town nabob tbat had romo iuto
town to seperato happy fumilio.i."
Hut Cutis yielded himself up to a
" dumb spirit'' for the night ; and no
measure could induce bim to talk on
any subject, lest tdio should pry tbo
mighty secret out of him.
Ab nit midnight sho woro herself
out and went to sloop; but at break ol
day sho begun again. He then ven
tured lo say, '' si soon us brcukfast is
over, I'll Itoak tho news to you.''
" You'll never eat a tuor.ud in my

" till you've told mo what that man

" Thin you'll wait a good while to

I'd never tell it till I had first eaten
broakfuxt 1 ' and with thuso words be
wont out.
Ma'uni Cutts endured tbo torture as,
long as possible, and thun got break
fast. Sho called ut tho door to no ouc
in particular, " como !"
lint Cutts dilu't come. After
nwlile i-he wout out tJ lha barn snd
found him seated on an up-turned
hnll-liusliel measure, culmly peeling
ml eating a raw turnip
'-It docs t-cctu os if this here mm

Here was a point giiued.
Cutis wont in nnd rccpioKteJ, and
ato his breakfast. When that wasovcr,
ma'am settled herself back iu bcr
chair, witb hor face full of cafcr ex
pectation, and said :
"Now, begin. What did that ere
mun want?'
" Ho wanted somo todur pot,"
replied Cutts, calmly, without looking
up : " and that was all !"
lTau arrow ha 1 struck Ma'am CutU
she oould not have manifested more
surprii-o and shauio.
"lam the laughing stock ofthit
town,' added Cutts, " snd from tin

Ma'am Cults' power was broken.
Moce then tbo larm bos been called

A Distinction Wituoot a Dif
ference Rift tbe matter 1o tbo hot
torn, and but littlo difT,erenco la prin
ciple will bo found between tbo free
tradors who aro operating tinder the
specious gu'mo of rovenuo reformers
and the out-and-out repudiatora. As
the Government is situated there can
bo no such issue as free trade for years
to come. We have a national debt on
which the ittereat must ba paid, tl
we do not repudiate it. We cannot
rose tho nocesaary revenuo to pay
this interest without a high tariff ;
sod a high tariff that docs not discrim
inate in favor of American manufac
turer. A tariff levied at a given per
centage on nil imporU without refer
ouce to tbeir charuetor or the condi
tion of the market, would, in many
instances, be one of tbe most oppres
sive measuros that any Government
ever adopted. Even England, with
hor ftee-lrado palaver, would pot ven
ture upon suob a course. Her tariff
discriminates, and Is leviod bo as to
favor ber cwn interests as a nation,
and tbe interest of her citizens meet
effectually. W must, therefore, not
only have a tariff a protective tariff
as woll ia a revenue tariff. Thoso
who talk otherwise are simply work
ing in the interest of England and a
aelthdi few, or aro repudiators at least
of tho first water who would voto for
" Young Groenbnck" or anybody els
who would embarrass our finances and
and force repudiation upon th coun
try. It manors very little to which
class tbey belong. Their works all
tend th same way and to lb iuo
end, and can result io nothing but
mischief, if the amount to anything
at all. In a word, toe muo! inijt ow
dbt. Before w do tbat we must an-
nuslly pay th interest oa It. To do
tbia we must have a high tariff. Aoi
a high tariff, to furnish tbo greatest
amount of revenue aid prove lb least
burdeneeeae, aott M dieorimiaatiof
