And then if his hat in the morning

But rather regard the occurrence,
A phenomenon puzzlingly queer.

In your eyes, If he's watching, my dear.
And don't fail to sew on his buttona,
And menl all his clothing with care,
Don't lease him fur rnoney for shopping,
Don't frown when he aets like a bear.
I)on't te!l hii too often my deary,

TIlE STOLEN RING
:0:
"I'ye brought home the young
lady's bonnet, miss, please," said
little Rachel.
"Oh, it's the milliner's apprentice,
is it?" said Green, the parlor-,irl.
- "Just step into the hall, and wait a
minute. Miss Madison's own maid
will be down directly. We're hav
ing quite a state of things up stairs,"
S Green added, bustling around to
fasten up a woolly white poodle
which had contrived to snap the
11 links of his golden chain. "Miss
'a Madison has had a dianmoni1 ring
stole. And they've sent for a de
tective gentleman. and Miss Madi
y son's uncle from Wall Street. And
C missus has had hysterics, and the
doctor is there giving her drops;
and the cook says, up and down,
.v she won't stay in no family where
Sthe help is suspected !'
"Dear, dear !'' said little Rachel,
ropening her blue eyes as round as
r two marbles,
And as G reen hurried away,. In
answer to a shrill summons from
above, Bile looked timidly around
her.
She was always pleased to be
sent to the Madison house. It was
her ideal of Aladdin's palace-of
Ethe beautiful mansions wherein
dwelt the heroines of song and
story.
When she described it to tile
liitle ones at hecne, after her day's
workc was over, they could scarcely
credit its splendors.
There was a circular hall, with a
railed gallery, extending around the
second story, and a dome of white
and amber glass overhead, and a
g reat bronze statue of some fabled
"' warrior kept gaard on horseback in
d the middle of the marble floor.
d There was a deep fireplace, lined
with china tiles, where a fire of
oconted logs blazed on tall fire-dogs
of polished brass; deep, plush easy
chairs were drawn up beside It, and
a pair of monster Japan vases
which reached up to Rachel's
shoulder, were always full, whether
the February snows carpeted the
.outside world, or the March winds
shook the casements, of delicious,
half-blown roses, with long stems,
tand satiny, shiny leaves.
For the life of hter 3he would not
have dared to go up and smell 0f
them. or to touch their perfumed
pptals; but she stood afar off and
md bregt'geti in their sweetness, and
looked at their tints of pearl and
pink like a humtble worshiper o
g* the beautifu~l.
"Miss Madison has a new parq
quet," she thought, "I rsyer ta
that little beauty in the gold cage
N' before."
Adrienne, the French maidl, came
pr- hurrying down directly-a tall,
)r.. bold:Jooking young woman, with
jaunty cap per,ched in the midst of
her black braids, anad bi1pa pf cher
ry ribbon on her white muslain ap:
run. She ha I an absent expressiot
on her face, and looked at little
inchel as if har ftdhd Wft p'isCo
cupied with something else, and sie
did not see her. 0
-It's the reception-bonnet. miss, fl
please,' explained Rachel, with a
courtesy. h
;-Oh, the bonnetI" said Adrienne, n
"You work-people are always com- o
ing at the wrong time. Oh, yes, I tl
dare say it is all right ! But," with e
a sudden, smiling assumption oft ti
interest, "you are wet. It rains c
and you will take cold. Take off o
your shawl, and come to the fire
and dry yourself." p
'-Oh, no. ma'am-thanks !" said
little Rachel, reaching out for the ii
shawl which Adrienne had officious a
ly removed, and resisting her efforts !o
to lead her to the fire. "Tt don't o:
rain; it only mists a little."
'But it does rain," sharply ti
spoke Adrienne, giving the girl's hi
faded skirt a shake as she spoke. tli
-'Don't you see the drops? Well,'
with a shrill laugh, -if you don't w
choose to dry yourself, the fault is c<
your own." if
'-I was to return as soon as pos
siblr, m'ain," said little Rachel. s<
rather embarrassed by all this extra S
attention, "If Mliss Madison was tu
suited"-- # th
Adrienne caught up the bandbox, er
which Rachel had held all the time, Ii
and whirling around on her heel,
ran up stairs into the reception- thi
apartment, where Miss Madison nE
herself stooed, surrounded by a c
group of people. Pl
Miss Madison was a tall, bfonde- w
complexioned young lady, with 10
clear, hazel eyes, a well-rounded it
chin, and the air of one who definite- rc
ly comprehended her rights and
meant to assert them. IIer mother. 3I
an irresolute, elderly lady, looked ev
feebly from her daughter to the a
policeman in plain clothes, who a
stood deferentially before them, a
and then back again.
"Well, if the house is to be te
searched. it had best be done to
promptly, I suppose," said Miss
Madison. -Tell your man to pro. s:
ceed at once, Mr. Jones." in
"But, my dear Corisande. do cor.
sider !' twittered Mrs. Madison w
"Some of our maids are so very ge
superior! The idea of ransacking
their trunks, as if they were coin- th
mon burglars !'" ric
"If they are innocent of stealing
my diamond ring they won't care," mi
said Corisande, indifferently. "-If si
they are guilty, they deserve all the
obloquy which can descend upon er
them." do
Just here the French maid glided cu
up close to her mistress. he
"Pardon, mademoiselle?" she bc
whispered, her half-closed gray eyes TI
furtively observing the detective as flC
she spoke- 'but it occurs to me co
that I have a new clue to this mys- y
tery. The little milliner girl is be
lox stairs; she has just brought
home this bonnet. Perhaps mal. lhi
emtoiselle has forgotton that she h
waited in mademoiselle's dressing- inl
room half an hour last Wednesday.
Mademoiselle has not seen her rifig th
since." yC
Corisande knitted her brows. hE
"'To be sure !" said she. "But rg
you don't su;pon that she has tak M
en it?" tb
"I would v'entumre to make no r.c- h
cusation, mademoiselle," said shte, W
"but perhaps, in a moment of temp- in
tation--"
"The matter is easily settled," P'
said the detective, "We can have ec
the young person up here at once
and search her."
Little Raichel came up, much s
wondIering. She was startled when im
Adrienne volubly explained to her et
the business upon which she was
summoned, but consented at once s
to the search.
"Why shouldn't I?" said she, P'
simply, "I have nothing to be f
afraid of,"
Site turned her dress,pocket inf
side out, A little, much,worn leath~
er purse ap)peared-an elevated
railway ticke'-a scrap of poetry,A
cut from some newspaper, fell out
- and then a diamond ring, with
one glittering fascet of fire, set in
its plain circlet of gold, flashed
si.ddenly upon their eyes! -
"Ha I' said Adrienne, pouncing
upon it, as some payen neight poune
on its prey. "Madernoisel le pan
see for herself I A4h, wretch ! perfi.
4Qtns thief!"
And she shQd Rachel by theg
shoulder with one hagd, qs she held
up the ring with her other.
Esche1 h#d tqrned as pale as 4
ashes,
I think I must be dreaming !" e
said she. '-I n. ver saw the ring ti
before in all my life !'
"Come, come,'' said the detective, a
' that sort of thing wcn't go down. 'a
l'm afrai:1 you're an old hand at $
the business, for all you look so ii
young and innocent." tl
Of course Rachel was arraigned c.
befoFe the court, but Corisande u
M1adisgn refrqged tg appey fgr the
prosecution.
"Thbe matter has gone far enough," ti
she said. *'The girl is not a bard- c
ened thief. She stole the ring in a i
moment of temptation. She -has c
suffered sufflciently. I don't be- il
lieve she will ever offend in this
wav again."
Ao"liftle Bmachel was dischared
.with a reprmand from the magis,
But it was like clipping the wing
f a wild-bird and then bidding il
y away into freedom once more.
The fashionable milliner whc
ad employed the girl would hav(
othing more to say to her. Nc
tie wanted her services. And ox
ie faw occasions when there seem
I a prospect of getting remunera
ve work, the horison was ove
ouded at once when the question
references came up.
No one wanted a thief about their
emises!
One person, however, believed in
tle Rachel still-her stepmother,
hardworking woman. who let
dgings and did up fine laces and
d ladies' cap.i for a livelihood.
"There is some jugglery about
is business," said she. -My

")e sun do move. Yes, sah, it do
inndedee, an' don y ou forgit it." I
think the sun moves myself, or if it
has not, that it will move shortly. I1
shoul not be at all surprised to"
see the earth fly off at a tangent
any moment, for there is certainly
something extraordinary going on
which is shaking all the old preju
dices and conceits out of us, that
have had their roots in our genera
tions more than three thousand
years. We are preparing for a
grand labor celebration on Septem
ber 1st. It is muscle and bran
against money bags. Archimedes
said if he had a place to rest his
lever, he could move 'he world, but
labor is Loth the tulerun and the
lever that are moving the world to
day. The other night the Labor
Unions had a meeting to arrange
for the coining parade, and a mo
tion was made that the colored
unions be invited to part:cipate,
and it was carried almost without a
dissenting voice. It only seems
like yesterd ty since this s:ime fac
tor in our national politic. was only
a nigger; but this act of our labor
union does what all the amnend
ments you could pile upon the con
stitution in a year would not do, it
raises him to the dignity of a man.
It is labor's great proclamation
that if the black man has the ener
gy and the ability to elevate him
self, they will not try to keep him
down. The colored mechanics and
laboring men have accepted the in
vitation, and the presumption . is
that instead of being put at the tail
of the procession, they will be ac
corded the post of honor. The bit
ter prejudice of caste and race has
been nowhere stronger than among
our laboring men ; and as to our
mechanics, no shop would think of
taking as an apprentice, a colored
boy. The only avenues to advance
ment, were as waiters, barbers or
porters; no mechanical pursuit was
open to them; and, in fact, it has
been no easy matter to get a white
boy in any of the trades, so strict
has been the rule of our labor
unions; but the resolution.of -last
week breaks down a formidable bar
rier against the colored race, and if
they don't get on in New York after
this, it will be their own fault.
There is unusual bustle in the
churches and theatres, the greater
part of them having been closed
during the past two months. The
cross was placed on the spire of
Grace Church on Saturday, 263 ft.
from the ground, and thousands of
people stood below with bated
breath as the huge stone weighing
over a ton was fixed in its final rest
ing place. Grace Chureb, which is
the fashionable centre for Episco
palianism in New York, is being
thoroughly overhauled-the pews

extra work in carvings, &c., put in.
The tendency to showy adornments
is running away with the common
sense of the people, and while there
is something truly grand in a fine
stained glass window, especially
when devoted to some scriptural
subject, the present trashy style of
adornment with yellows and reds
and blues and gold, while well
enough for a cir"us or a theatre,
is altogether out of place in a
church, A great many alterations
have been made in all of our great
churches; and many thousands of
dollars have been expended in their
adornment. In a couple of weeks
the congregations will be back, and
the vagrant shepherds, fortified by
the expertence gained in Lor.don,
Paris, Vienna and Berlin-not to
mention Cairo and Jerusalem, will
be prepared to combat the world
and the nlesh and make it very un
comfortable for the
But a-s I remarked in a former
letter, there seems to be quite an
affinity between the church and the
stage. They suspend operations

IfAYo!th OrncE, BUFFAO,
Nov. 7, 1882.
My Det. Rothar 1 have ji
is voted. 1 sit here in the Mayor's
>n office alone, with the exception of
ic an artist f. om Frank L:siiu's news
n, paper, who is sketcbing the office.
re If mother was here I should be
as writing to her, and I feel as if it
re were time for me to be writing to
- some one who %%ili believe what I
re write. I have been for sce --time
e in the atmosphere of certain suc.
at cess, so that I have been sure that
a I should assume the duties of the
high office fi.r which.I bav been
r- named: . have tried-hardI .the
o- light of this fact, to pi opcrlfappre
y ciate the responsibitites tbnt will
d rest epon'eme, and they are much,
e too much, underestimated. But
I the thought that has tronbled me
r is : Can I well perform my duties,
r and in euch a manner as to do some
s g'od to the people of the State? I
d kncw there is room for it, and I
s know tiut I am honest and sincere
e in my desire to do well, Lut the
t question is whether I know enough
r- to accomplish what I desire.
,' The social life which seems to
- await me has also been a subject of
A much anxious thought. I have a
-e notion that I can regulate that very
much as I- desire, and if I can I
cI shall spend very little time in the
- pnrely ornamental part of the office.
f In loin,t of fact, I will tell you, first
of all others, the policy 1 intend to
adopt, and that is to make the mat
t ter a b,,sine.s engig7 ?nert betWceen the
t people of the State a;ul uiself; in
which the otligation o;t my side is to
a >erform the duties assignced me with
fan eye single to the interest of my
enlllol/ers. I shail have no idea of
re election or of anyjigher political
c preferment in my head, but be very
r thankfal and happy if I can well
serve one term as the people's
e Govei nor. Do you know that if
SnotLer were alive I should feel so
- much safer ? I have always thought
s that her prayers had. much to do
s with my success. I shall expect
you all to help me in that way. Be
e lieve me, your affectionate brother.
G ROVER C'IEvELAND.
r, The reference to the Governor's
r mother is made the more pathetic
by the knowledge that her death
s occurred but. a few weeks previous
to the writing of the letter. Who
can help feeling that in it Governor
Cleveland poured out his whole
r heart! We must remember, also,
that. what he promised has already
crj stalized into performance. Gov
s ernor Cleveland has spent very lit
e tle time in '"the purely ornamental
e part" of his ofice ; he has in very
n truth made the Governorship "a
a business engagement." between the
people of the State and hinself,
and performed the duties assigned
him "with an eye single" to the in
terests of his employers, the people.
e We feel justified in5 saying here,
upon the authority of one whose
word is always accepted without
question in South Carolina, that
eGovernor Cleveland did not desire
to be nominated for President, and
preferred to be allowed to serve his
eifll term as the Chief Magistrate of
ethe State of New York. Indeed,
a resec oledge of his wishes in this
rsetwas used as an argument
against his nomination. l t is, how -
ever, an additional reason for his
election.
eThere is pathos inexpressible in
e Governor Cleveland's exclamation
rthat if his motber were alive he
would feel so much safer, and that
he had always thought that her
gprayere had had much to do with
hissuccess. Who will deny it, or
dout i iSurlyhe who in the
1first moment of his elevation to a
position of exalted importance
Sgives his first thought to his nmo
r ther,. and ca:ls her blessed, is a
man whom the American poop1e
can safely trust. There is in the
letter published to-day a strain of
homely feeling, a suggestion of
simple earnestness and truth, which
a singles Governor Cleveland out-a
the man for the time. A man of
t the people, possessing and cherish.
-s ing every domestic affection, loyal
- jto his public trust as to his publice
,trust as to his own household, he
n!can.be depended on to keep in
it mind, always the interests and the
d Irights of all conditions of men.
hi Better by far than any platform of
d promiss is the simple, heartfelt let.
d ter in which Grover Cleveland pro
i- claims his belief in straightforward
a and honest methods, and avows his
s faith in the efficacy of a mother's
e prayers.
t "By Jove," said the lynx-eyed
n proof-.reader on a Boston paper,
e "somebody go down and kick slug *
r- nine into the street. Here's three
*n times I've marked beans on him in
>f that poem or Julia Ward H owe's,
*e anid every time he spells.it 'paans.'
>f 'My soul sings ptmans to the gods
r- of spring.' There's 10.8 of sense in
that, isn't there?" ~ Where'd~ he -
d ever learn to spell beans that way ?"
r, And his face was livid with wrath
,e as once more he saved the poem
er from destruction.
