KENT I1Y EXPHESAS:
OR, AVII.VT FRANK EVANS MISSED.
ilariuu Htirliin wtis aloue in the world
her tnoilier just buiieil
.She was a beautiful, brown haired girl,
with soft, shy eyes of violet, gray, aud rosy
lips compressed to a. firmness far beyond
her years. For, after all, she was scarcely
sevoulecn, aud so D; ao;n Gray was telling
her, as he sat by the tire spreading his huge
hands over the tardy blaze aud asked :
'But what ate you going to do to tarn
.your bread and butter child ?'
'I ilon'tkriiiw I haven't thought. M.uu
Ova had an uucle in New York, who'
'Yes, yes I'.e henrd her ti ll about him
he was mad 'cause your mother didn't
marry just exactly to suit him, wasn't it ?'
.Marian was silent. Deacon Gray waited
a few minutes, hoping she would admit
him inlo her secret meditations ; but she
did not, a-ul the Deacon went away home,
to tell his wife that 'that Harlan gai was
the very queerest creature he had ever
come across.'
In the meanwhile Marian v. as busy pack
ing her f .w scanty things into a little car
pet bag. by the weird, Bickering light of
the dying wood lire.
'I will go In lSYwjYfrk,' i.Iit said to her
self, setting U. r small yearly teeth lirraly
together. 'My mother's unc'e.sh.fir heas
my cause pleaded through my own 5jps.
Oh, I wish my heart would not throb so
wildly I I fim no longer meek Minnie
Harlan, I am an orphan, all alone in the
world, who. must tight life's battles with
her own single hands.'
Lower Broadway, at 7 o'clock in tha
e veuiiig. What a Babel of crashing wheels,
hlirrvin - l""' v. ..!..murlB
noises it was ! Minnie Harlan sat in a
coiner of an express, oflice under the flare
of gaslights, surrounded by boxes.and won
dered whether people ever went crazed in
this perpetual diu and tumult. Iir dress
was very plain gravpopliii, with a shab
by, old-fashioned little straw bonnet tied
with black-ribbons, and a bine veil, while
her only article of baggage, the carpet bag,
lay in her lay. -Sin: had sat there two
hours, and was very, very tired.
Poor little thing I' thought the dark
haired young clc'k nearest her, who in
habited a sort of wire cage under a circlet
of gas lights, And then he took up his
pen and piunged into a perfect Atlantic
ocean of accounts !
'Mr. Evans.'
Sir.' ' - .
The dark-haired clerk emerged from his
ca-e with his pen behind his ear m ob. di-
i-nee to the beckoning finger of liis superior, j
'I have noticed that young woman s't-
tiuVW. "fur some .time-how came she'!
here r"
'E
txpnssea on, s:r,. inun iiuiugioii.

As though p r Minnie II irlan were' a
box or, :w paper pwo l.
'JYhofor V ' ..
C'ons'igned to Walter Harrington. Eq.'
'And why hasn't she been called for?'
'I sent up to Mr. Ilartington's address
to notify him some tiine ago ; I expect an
answer every moment.' .
'Very odd,' said the gray-haired gentle
man,' taking up his newspaper.
'Ycj!, sir, rather. '
Some three quartets of an hour after
ward Frank Evans came to tjte pale gill's
kiih- v iLli indescrihahlu tiitv in his hazel
t,vi;s
" 'Miss Harlan, wc have scut to Mr. Har-
- tin

' on her cheek, and her hands claK-d tightly
' on handle of tlx; faded Carpet hag.
i '.,.lxv, reoitto inf.rni vu that he
sailed for Europe at 12 o'clock this day."
A FUilde.i blur came over Minnie's eyes
.? likn a leaf. In all her cal-
..i..ib.,.K-, bad made al'.owance for
an exigency like this.
'Can we do, anything further for you.-"
qul)sli(,U(.J l!ic young:c!erk p.iiuly.
Vkoiuiug no one cau u" .tuj uhui; v .
Frank Evans had been tinning away,
bi' something in the piteous tones of her
voice appealed to every manly instinct with
in him.
'Shall I S'Jtid to any other of your
friends ?'
'I have no friends.'
I. .1.. .....1 ...w.
Perhaps I can have your things sent to
some quiet family hotel ?'
Minnie opened her little leather purse
and showed him two two-cent pieces with
a smile that was almost a tenr.
''This is Till the money I have in the
world sir !'
j So young, so beautiful, and so desolate.
I Frank Evans had been a New Yorker all
his life, but he had never met within an
! exactly pa railed case to this. He bit the
j end of his peu iu dire perplexity,
j 'But what are you going to do ?'
1 don't kuow. sir. Isu't there a work
house, or some such place l couiu go to
until I could find something to do I'
'Hardly.' Frank Evans could scarcely
hi;Ip sniilin;? at poor Minnie's simplicity !
'They are putting out the lights and
preparing to close the blBce,' said Minnie,
starting nervously to her feet : I must go
somewhere.'
'Miss Harlan,' said Ffank." onietly. 'my
home is a very poor one I artf only a five
hundred dollar clerk but 1 am surte my
mother will receive you under her roof fiip
a day or two if you can trust me. ' .
Trust you ?' Minnie looks at'him thco'
violet eyes obscured in tears, "Oh, sir, I
should be so thankful.' " ;
. . -
'IIow Tate you are, Frank I. II ere, give
me your overcoat it is all powdered with
suow, and" ' ' ,
. But Frank interrupted his.bustling,cher-ry-chetked
little mother, as she stood on tip
toe to take off hi3 outer wrappings.
'Hush mother ; . there is a young, lady
dowu'stairs.' , .'.
" 'A young lady, Frank ?' . .;.
'Yes, mother J expressed on from Iowa
to old IIarringtdn the rih merchant. lie
sailed for Europe this moruing, and she is
left biitir.uly alone. . Mother, she looks, lite
poor Blanche, "and I knew you wo'uld not
refuse her a cortier here until Bhe could
find Bomething'to do.'
Mrs. Evans went lo the doer and called
cheerfully out : ' ,
'Come up stairs, my dear ; you're as"wel
com as the "flowers in ' My. Frank, you.
did quite right, you' always do.' .
The days and weeks passed on, and still
Marian '. Harlan remained an inmate of
Mrs. Evans' humble dwejling.
'It seems just a3 though she had taken
our dead Blanche's place," eaid the cosy
little widow ; 'and she is 60 useful Jfbout
the house. I don't know how I ever managed
without her. IN ow Minnie you are not iu
earnest about leaving us to-mortoiy ?'
'I must, dear Mrs. Evans. Only think
I have been here tw months to-morrow
j anJ the situation of governess is very.ad-
vantagcous.'
'Very well. I shall tell Frank how. bb
stiuate you arc' I '
'Dearest Mrs. Evans, please don't.
Please keep my secret.' . .
What secret is it that is to be so religi
ously kept ?' asked Mr. Frank Evans,
cooly walking into the. midst of the. discus
sion, with his dark hair tossed about by
the wiud, and his hazel brown eyes spark
ling archly. ,
"Secret !' repeated Mrs. Evans, energeti
cally wiping her spectacle glasses, 'Why,
Marian is determined to leave us to-mor-
i row
'Minnie!'
'I must, Frank. I have no right further
to tresspass on your kindness.'
'Xo right, eh ?' Minnie, do you kuow
that the old house has been a diflerent
house since Jyou came into it ? Do you
suppose we want to lose our little sun
beam V
Mtunie smiled sadly, but her hand felt
very colti and passive in Frank's warm f
grasp.
You'll stay, Minnie ?' ,
" .Xl)i- - - - - -
' .She shook her head dcteruiiuedly.'
vThcn you must be made to stay,' 6.aid
Frank. 'I've missed something of great
value lately, .and I hereby arrest you on
suspicion of,the theft !'
Missed something ?'
Minnie rose, turning red aud white.
'Oh', Frank, you can never suspect me V
'But I do -suspect yoU. IU ract, x-
quite sure that the article is iu your pos
session.' 'The article !' . '
'My heart-. Miss . Miuuie ! Xow look
here I know 'I ata very young and very
poor, but I love you 3Iinaie Ilarjau, and
I will be a gooU and true husband to you.
Stay aud be. my wife !
So Minnie Harlan instead of going out
as a governess, according to the pro
gram me, married the dark Laired young
c.erk iu Ellison 's express office, Xew York.
They we:e married early in the morning,
and frank took Mtuuie home to his mother,
and then cut calmly about his business
iti the wire cago under the circlut of gas-
! lights. - . ... ".
! 'Evans '.'
i
'Yt'8 sir.' ;
i rank with his pen belniyl his car as
of yore, quietly obeyed the tresis of the
gray headed nfficial.
'Do you rememln-r tho young woman
i who was expressed on trom AlUltugton,
Iowa, two months since ?'
'Yes, sir I remember her.'
A tall, silver-haired gentlemau Mure in
terposed with eager and quickness : "
'Whore is she? I fitu her uncle. Wal
ler Harrington. I have just returned from.
Paris, when the news of her arrival reach
ed me. I' want her, she is'the only living
rtkitive left me.'. '
'h! but, sir,' said Frank 'you can't
have her.'
'Can't havC her ? What do you mean ?
Has any tiling happened ?' '"
'Yes, sir, something' has happened. .Miss
Harlan i was married to me this morning.'
Waller Harrington stared'.
' 'Take ine to' her,' he said hoarsely : 'I
j can't he parted; from my only living rela-
t've ! a mere wnim.-
"I wonder it he eal.s tl.e marriage service
! and w"e.lding ring mere whims,' thought
honest Frank ; but he obeyed iu silence -
'Minnie.'said the old man. in taltermg
accents, 'you will come to me and be the
daughter of my old age ? 1 am rtch, Min-
! trie and you are an nave iu ine wuu.
But Minnie stole her hand through her
husband's arm.
'Dearest uncle, he was kind to me when
I was most desolate and alone. I cannot
! leave my husband, Uncle Waller I lovi!
him!'
i .'n,r... vii mi's, both of vou. come and
be my children,' said the old man dogged
ly ; 'and you must come now, for the
great house is as lonely as a tomb.'
Frank Evans is an express clerk no lon
ger, and pretty Minnie moves iu velvet
and diamonds ; but they are quite as hap
py as they were in the old days, and that
is saving enough..' Uncle Walter Harring
ton grows older and feebltr every day, and
his two children are the sunshine of his
declining life.
"As I was g'oin' over the bridge the oth
er day," said a native of Erin, ' I met
Patllewins 'Hewins,' says I. 'how are
you?' 'Pretty well, thank you, Donnelly,'
says he. 'Donnelly!' says he; that's not

' " 1- '- ' '.
There .was one clement in our recent po-
Ilitical ctntet which has not been .much
coosmt nted upon, bur which influenced, in
a sHtfOl'Vay, gruat .numbers of voters.
The Democratic Coirveiition aid nothing
of "sectarian sohooU," while the Republi
cans hid spoken out boldly against any in
jury U be done 10 the public schools by ad
mitting Church schools among their num
ber, or giving thorn a share in. the common
school fund. - Though, the subject waa very
I little dfscused in the public canvass,-the
avgraga'-voter throughout the State felt
that one parti" was strongly pUedged against
anyvnteiference with thu comnloa School
system, while the tithec wak trltllmg with
the qoeetloft," if n()ihiflg'W)rs3.,. It waa tv?
tirembertd at the polrs Uiai rt was a Demo
cratic ITouse which had nearly placed the
Cliurch schools' of St;- Vincent, do Paul
anjgpg the "Common schools," and passed
the ael fnkfiomiag the "Gray Nuns -to -be
public pcljobl teachers. It is true 'that liis
pafty found it necessary to fbrco Senator
Kerhan to throw out an anchor to wind
ward in his Brooklyn speech, by denying
any purpose among Democrats to interfere
with, the common schools. It is quite pos
siblethat these are theiionest views of the
Senator, who is reported to be'of that elass
so strongly rebuked by the Holy Father
a.'Liberaf Catholic' .-His views, however,
liave 5eCn anything tlit acceptable to the
Catholic organs, 'who have abused hin
roundly for them; and we doubt, if' his
name were up for any office mong the Ro
man Catholic voters of the State,; wbjllier
ho would poll a strong vote now. IS or did
his disclaimers much inflneuce the thou
sands. of 'independent' voters who trans
ferred heir ballots this year from the
Democratic to the Republican ticket.
" The truth i?, the majority of the Demo
cratic party of this State is largely made
up. of Roman Catholic voters. The ignor
ant among these, are under the exclusive
conUrol of tbeir'priests. These as a class
cannot endure 'Liberal Catholics,' arid
t
hey luld a logical liosition on tho school
question, diredsly opposed to the liberal
view." Thsy claim that the salvation of
man's soul is the first interest of all ; that
there is a salvation extra vxlesiam ; that a
school without, the Catholic religion is
'godless' and therefore dangerous to the
soul, and that consequently the first duty
ofthe Catholic is to opposa nil education in
common schools where no religion is taught.
It is not because the Bible is read in our
pubiro'schools, or the-Lead's "Prayer said
by a Ihyman, that they object, but because
the schools arc 'godless,' being destitute of
the Calholic religion.
With this view there is manifestly no,
truce or compromise possible on the "part
of American citizens. It is thB doctrine
of priestcraft. The object is to get posses
sion by the priests of popular education, as
they did once in Italy. The schools, the
'fcMl--r-ult..;of, .liberty,' .would ibecdJn. u.c
longer' fbmmot schools, training" teach
chihi for' his duties as a citizen, butCtVurcrr
schools, so educating him as t'i make him
subservient to a creed and .a hierarchy.
Modern science arid modern improvements
in teaching would sooa fare here, as they
do uuder the direct influenca of the Pope.
The Syllabus would speedily weed out most
nf the studies pursued in our schools and
uormal'collegesrVT' 'uii.n.i.1 -.iia.veeduca-
tion as it is now in French rural parishear
or under the eyes of the noly Father.
There would be a blank uniformity his
tory with Frolestanisiu left out, scieu.ee
from the standpoint of the Papal Syllabus,
mental awakening as priests desire it, and
republicanism as guided by a foreign
priestly ruler, with the habit everywhere
taught of implicit obedience to the priest
and the Pope- of Rome. Such an educa
tion is the last thing which .the American
people desire- introduced into their political
Bystern. , "
Fortunately," however much the Irish
Catholics may be under the thumb of
priest aud bishop, the German Catholics
are much more independent. They will
Lstand with the American. Protestants on
this question! Aud it only need vigilance
during every session of the- Legislature
and at every election to prevent any vic
tory" of reaction, and to preserve intact
that best inheritance from Dutch Protest
ants our common scheol system.

The truth is, speculation has run wild
Men have traded beyond their power to
pay ; rtod banks that participated iu the
wild scheme are in a like condition, and
when payment is demanded they are un
able to do so. .It is the history of trade,
that about every ten or fifteen years we ex
penence just such contractions as are now
taking place. A stream swollen by rains
will rise, yes when the extra supply of wa
ter ceases, it tiuds its level. Ihe same is
true of business. It will stand expansion
for a season, but a time when banks and
business men must settle, is sure to follow
and then comes the crash. We are pass
ing through such an ordeal, and when all
the weak and tottering institutions crumbk
and fall, we shall begin to emerge from the
financial gloom which now overspreads the
financial world, and buikl up new fortunes
and new enterprises on a more substantial
basis.

ProDably'the' Romans were tha fjjst to
employ glass for windows. Some rem y ants

eans ia wine then, as now, deter, mined the
age of thoir article by the seal, upon the

glass. Glass goblets were " less popular.
I Gold and silver, reluctantly yielded the
palm to the new-fangled rival which sought
popularity by appealing, not to the poverty
of the poor, but' loathe desire of novelty
among the rich. Even artificial stones
and pearls of glass were not unknown.
Whether mirrors of glass were known to
the Romans, or whether they depended
exclusively, as they 'certainly did chiefly,
upon the resources of the Jews polished
metals is a question of grave dispute
among the learned in such matters a dis-t
pute into which we shall not venture to
enter. It is safe, however, to say the onlf
use of glass which modern -art can claim
with assurance, 'as exclusively its own is
the employment of it in optical instru
ments. Josh Billingsism. Love is like the
