i.t the corner of the dirt; littlo street,
in a'-wet December night, came back to
me, and I saw tuj policeman ooco
lllOTC.
" It la you," I aad, " and you have
raved my child fioin such -an awful
tfcath."
" And what -'did you save th and
tnine from ?" he said, with tears in his
eyes. " Starvation, ruin, utter degra
tion. I ebould have been a felon, aod
my dear ones paupers this night, but
for you. I have not paid the debt ; I
never can ji but when 'I heard that it was
lyour child that lay at the top of that
turning building, I prayed that I might
.ve it, and I know God heard me."
"And then he told me what had
brought him to the neighborhood ou
that night of all others in the year.
" I had lost all, for I was not insured,
but he was prosperous and stood by
Die like a brother; nursed me through
toy illness, and loaned me money for a
new star in life. So that in a little
while things grew bright again, and
here I am, you see, as comfortable as
most people"
".And the policeman 1 " I asked.
"TTin Wir is as white as my own
now,'" said the old man. ' And my
daughter, the little one he saved that
might, is married to his son."
Many years ago the rich men of
Massachusetts stole negroes from Afri.
ca, sold them to the South and made
vast nutne oi money. The descendants
of those-men arc now carrying the de.
cendants of those same "negroes back to
Massachusetts, and are also- making
large sums of money out of the venture,
because they are glutting the labor
.market and bringing down waccs.
-tOn the 7th inst., Ben Wade, of
'Ohio, introduced a joint resolution in
the Rump Senate, guaranteeing the
Mexican loan of fifty million dollars,
which was referred to the Committee
on Foreign Relations. The Disunion
speculators arc determined to bleed the
Treasury iu some way or other before
their faction goes by the board.
