The widow replied with flushed check,
•It may seem a li - -lit thin;; to you, but
the thou ght that I ara slowly and surely
wiping every stain from my husband's
honor, is my greatest earthly comfort.—
Mr. Miner is hit last creditor, and, God
willing, evfri'y ceut shall be paid."
IJer courser relative responded with an
emphatic "fiddlestick." and angrily left
her prescuco.
"At last I have it," said asilvery voice,
::':d a swoot luce, giad and br lliant, brigh
tened uj, glooui.
"Only se-*, mother! ten dollars, all my
owu ton more makes twenty ; so we shall
have a nice 1 ttlc sum lor Mr. Miner."
Tears trciublcd ou the widow's lashes,
and glittered on hei* pale cheek. '-It is
to bo the price of thy life, my precious
one?" she thought. "Is the canker worm
at the heart of my beautiful flower ?
Must I uive thee up to weary toil, a sac~
rifico upon the altar of duty? Can it be
that Gotl requires it?"
Kva kue't at her niothet s feet, where
she had fallen with all the abandon of a
child, her glance fasteneii to shilling
gold.
Lifting her glauceshe mot that ol her
mother, lull of anxiety, touched with
sorrow. A sudden smile broke over her
112 delicate features.
•'I was only thiuking of the endless
things this moucy would buy—don'i look

fortable things. l!ut never mind," —and
nhc spraug to her feet, brushed back her
brown cuils, and drew on her neat little
bonnet, —"never mind, I'll may bo write

continued ; '•steru reality tells me togo

Hurriedly Kva passed from her house
along the narrow streets. As she went
onward, street after Btreet diverged into
pleasant width and palace-lined splendor
The houses of greatness and wealth glit
tered in their marble beauty under tKe
golden sunlight. Up broad steps,through
portals carved and shining, pa«sed the
timid steps of Eva Sterne.
At first the pompous servant suiiled a
contemptuous denial; but after a moment,
perhaps softened by her childish simplie«
ity and wieniug, blue oyes, he deemed
it best not to deny her urgfency ; and she
entered this palace of a rich man's home-

blc,liqcd all the way to the staircase. —
The splendor of the room into whieh she
was ushered, seemed to her inexperienc
ed ejglit too beautiful for actual use, and
ho who came in, with his kindly glance
and handsome lace, the noblest perffec
tion of manhood she had ever seen.
11 Well, young lady,"' he said, blandly
smilling, "to whom am I indebted for
this pleasure?"
•'My father, sir, died in your debt,"
■•said Eva blushingly,speaking very softly.
'By the strictess economy and very hard
'Work, we, my mother and I, have been
able to pay all his creditors but yourself.
If you will be kind enough to receive
the balance of your account n small
sums—l am sorry they must be small,
sir—we can iu the course of a very few
years fully liquida'e the debt, and then
we shall havejuli.le 1 my father's dying
wish, that every stain'might be wiped
"(t im his honor." She paused a moment
and said again falteringly, "My father
was very unfortunate, sir, and broken in
.health for many years, but, sir, he wa<
honorable, he would have paid the last
cent if it had left him a beggar."
Mr. Miner sat awhile thoughtfully, his
dark eyes fastened upon the gentle face
before him. \ftcr a moment of silence,
'lie raised his head, threw baek the mass
of curling hair that shadowed his
some brow, and siid :
"I remember your father well, I rc»
grettcd his death. lie wa3 a fine fellow
—a fine fellow," he added musingly ;
'but, my dear young lady, have you the
means—do you not embarrass yo uco''
by liking those payments 1"'
Eva blushed again, arid looking up,in
genhous y implied, 'I am obliged' to work
sir, but no labor would be too arduous
that might savcHhe memory' of such a
father from disgrace."
This <-hc spoko with deep emotion.—
The rich man turned with a choking in
his throat, and tears glis'.cncd on his
hislus. Eva timidly held out tho two
gold pieces : he took ihcm and bidding
lier stay a moment, hastily left tho room.
Almost instantly returning he handed
her a sealed note, saying, "There is the
receipt, young lady, and allow me to add,
thai the mother of such a child must be
a happyjwoman. The whole debt, I find,
i' nine hundred and seventy five dollars.
You will by .ny note what arrange
ments I have made, aul I hope they will
be satisfactory."
Eva left liini with a lighter heart, anil
a burning cheek at his praise. ll is man
ner was gentle, so fatherly that she felt
he would net impose h ml* t;onditicns,nnd
it would be a pleasure to pay one so kind
and forbearing.
At last she got homs, aud breathlessly
sitting at her mother's feet, she opened
her letter. Wonder of wonders—a bank
note enclosed; sho'hcld it without speak,
ing or looking at its value.
"Head it," she said, afcer a moment's
bawil'lcrment, placing the kuttor in her
mother's hand—"here arc fifty dollars;
\yhat can it mean ?"
"This," said the sick woman, bursting
into tears, "is a icceipt in lull, releasing
yon from the payment of your father's
I debt. Kind, generous man—lleaven
will bless him—God will shower mercies
upoD Lira. From a grateful heart I call
upon the' Father to reward him for this
act of kindness. Oh! what shall wo say,
what shall we dis to thank him ?"
"Mother," said Eva, smilline; through
her tea™, "I felt as if he was an angel of
goodness. Oh. they do wrong, jvho say
that all who arc wealthy hive hard hearts
Mother, can it be possible we are so rich?
T wish he know how very happy he has
made us, how much we will luvc and rev- I
erenee him whenever we think or speak ]
of him, or even hear him spoken of?"
"He has bound two hearts to him for
ever," murmured her mother
"Yes,dear Mr. Miner! little he thought
how many comforts we wanted Su wo
need not stint the fiie; wc may buy ooal,
and have one cheerful blaio, please God.
Ami the tea, tho strip of carpet, the su
gar,the little luxuries for you, dear moth
er, and the time, and a very few books
for myself. I declare I'm fo thankful, I
feel as if I ought togo right back and
tell him that we shall love him so long as
w« live."
That evening heaped with
Lehigh gave the little room an air o
ruddy comfort, liva sat Dear, her curto
houu«i«oftly back from lier pare forehead
inditing a touching letter to their bene
factor. Iler mother's face, lighted with
the loss of cankering oarc, ahonc with a
placid smile, aud her v ery thought was
a prayer calling down blessings
good rich man.
In another room, far different from the
widow's home, but also bright with the
biaie of a genial fire whfi;:e red light
made richer the polish of oatu'ly furni>
ture, sat the noble merchant. . ,
"l*a, wliat makes you look so happy t"
asked Lina. a beautiful girl, pissing licr
suiootli liand over his brow.
"Don't I always look liappy, my little
Lina?"
"Yes, hot you keep shutting your eyes
and smi'ling—p.nd her briclit face re
flected his own. "I think you've had
something very nice today; what was
it
"Does my little daughter really want
to know what has made her father so
happy ? Here is my Dible ; let her turn
to the Acts of the Apos'lcs, 20th chap
ter, 35th verse, and read it carefully."
The beautiful child turned reverently
the pages'of the holy hook , and as she
read, she looked up in her father's eyes—
"And lo remember the words of the
Lord Jesus, how he a*id, 'lt i3 moie
blessed to give than io receive.'"
"Ah ! I know." she said, laying her
rosy cheek upon his hand ; 'you have
been giving something to some poor beg
r>nr, as you did last week, and ho thank
ed you and said, 'God ble«s you,' and
that's what makes you liappy."
Lina read a confirmation in her fath
er's puiilc—but lie said nothing, only
kept, repeating to himself the words of
the Lord Jesus, "It is more blessed Ui
give than to receive."— Olive Branch.
The Wolla Tariff Bill.
Enough is khown of this bill to
make it certain that it opposes the
system of protection agreed upon by
tli<?" IIous", anl embodies the views
vrf the opponents of that legislation.
It in imect re-enncts the present
! ;>. i of duty, though an advance is
JII <i|>ost»d on many article* and a de-"
crease on quite a number. Tho free
list is materially increa»ed. The
bill is accompanied by a long report,
in which he di cusses the ills which
the industry and business of the
country languish tinder, and gives
his reasons for administering sub
stantially freetrade tariff as the rem
edy for them. His main idea is thai;
the inflation of the currency is the
real enemy of our prosperity, and
that before we can manufacture suc
cessfully we must lvturn to specie
payments. lie takes the ground
that what he calls -our cumulative
system of protective duties is ruinous
to our industries ; that with resump
tion of specie payments no protection
would bo needed upon the leading
articles of wool, coal, and pig iron ;
that the only interests which need pro
tection are those whose products are
flne and ' require skilled labor
Urge capital; that if lowa, Kansas
and Texas can "row wool at a profit,
Ohio and New England have no right
to complain ; that the revenue taxes
on depressed or exposed industries
should he lightened or taken off; that
the condition of our currency and the
suffering Btate of our manufactures
arc unfavorable to any sudden modi
fication of the tariff. So far as the
main features of the report and the
bill have become known, there ap
pears to be much opposition to it, the
ideas regarding a return to spec'e
payment being against the pre/ailing
opinion in Congress. It may be stas
ted that it is, as yet, a confidential
document, and difficult of access. It
will be furnished to members qf Con
gress some t'rne this week.

How TO MAKE AH OATH BTRONO.—
On the accession of a new auditor in one
of our custom-houses, several years ago,
he found considerable looseness in the
machinery by which the fishing bounties
were paid at that establishment. He de-
eorrcct the proceedings, and
then return with joy to the original and
honest state --of things. Be it known
that the oath required of an applicant
for this bounty is a long rode compila*
tion of solemnities, and hod usually been
sputtered over with indelicate and un
seemly haste. One day a blustering and
confident-lookingskipper eame to the desk
with his bundle of papers, looking as if
he had robbed the circumlocution office,
and wanted some bounty'. The new aud
itor rose to a tall majesty, took the great
book of oath in his hand, fixed hi* keen
eye on Mr. Skipper, requested faisa to mm
cover his head, hold up his right hand,
and repeat after him the oath as he nid
it. They had not traveled more thau half
way through the serious basiness when
the hand of th« skipper fell as if his arm
had been struck by a chain shot. "You
may stop there," he exclaimed; "I can't
swear to any more of that. Give me
back the papers." He nervously grasp-t
ed the package, hurried out of the cffice,
and to this day hia fate and reflections
are unknown.'
