pair, whose marriage, though

From - early " boyhood, Edward i
jgx was ^oney^
?ded ^jat he never be gwd
At ihirty he found himw^bankipt.
oofc of butfnees, antf wiibot??
? nrAimo^ifi' and while he
as seriously considering suicide as
way out of his difficulties, he relived
an invitation to visit an old
ieod in Blackpool.
He found the "Northern Brighton'
\ the height of its sommer season,
id his own attraction very readily
sknowledged by the ladies, who
anted .with hfrn, flirted with him,
Tolled on the beach by, moon-light
ith him, and accepted his graoefol
ttention with smiling pleasure.
It was here that he was introduced
) Hiss Susan Hartley and her neioe
d supposed heiress, Miss Maud
laxwell. They were ladies of posiion,
refined, graoeful; the younger
ne lovely in the freshness of her
oath, a pretty bkmde face, aod
lender figure; the elder one stately
nd dignified, showing in every word
cultivated intellect and strong corncon
sense.
Edward Joyce's friend, after the
otrodnction, spoke his mind with
r ?
rank if valgar freedom,
"Go in for the heiress, Ned. They
av the old lady is worth no end of
in, and Miss Maud is her only rala ive.
Anyone can see tbey are deroted
to each other."
Freud ship led to intimacy, and Mr.
foyoe did try and fascinate the
leiress, whose simpering prettinees
jovered a cold heart, and a very com*
non-place mind.
Though he bad always seemed to
have lacked* business ability, Mr.!
]
Joyce was no fool/and he found himself
evening after eteniDg turning
bom Miss Maxwell's vapid talk to
the fresh strong mind that shone
through her aunt's conversation.
Miss Hartley was an accomplished
musician, with a rich contralto voice,
and love of music had alway amounted
to a passion with Mr. Joyce, as
there was a strong bond of sympathy
there.
Loyeing neither, in the true sense
of the word, he certainly found more
pleasure in the society of the older
lady, and then a little demon of policy

mousy was Mrs. Hurley'*, sod, with
her social position find real attractions,
she might marry, and so deprive
Maude of her supposed inheritance.
For two or three days he hesitated,
shrinking yet from piaceing himself
in the position of a fortune-hunter,
and then be wrote a manly, tender
letter to Miss Hartly, asking her tc
he hie wife. An hear later his me*
,
aenger broaght an answer, and Mist
Hartley was his affianced wife.
The wedding took place in dm
cooree, the honeynoon ended, and
one "morning, in cosy confidence, the
subject of going home arose.
"Where have jon taken lodgiDgs,
dearr Mrs. Joyce asked, "till we
find some little place to snit us."
"Lodgings!" cried the bridegroom.
"Shall jou not retnrn to yonr own
house?"
"My own house! I have no bouse!"
For suddenly the troth flashed upon
her. "Did you think I had money?
I thought every one knew that I was
LMonde's pensioner. Ob," and her
face grew very pale, "what a fool I
'have been. I thonght yon loved me."
"Yon were no fool in thinkiag
that," was the quick reply, as ber J
husband pat bis arm aroand her, "I
* t
do love you! I did think the position
reversed, and that Maude depended
upon yen, but never doubt
my love. If it was -not very ardent
when I proposed to yon, it grows
stronger every day that we spend together."
"Bat yet yoa thought me wealth t*
"A hamiliatiDg fact I cannot deny/' ;
and then, in a sadden outburst of J
confidence, Mr. Joyce told his wife '
the whole troth, dwelling somewhat 1
longer open his business attempts i
and perplexities than on the hope be 1
had entertained of afature, life of 1
Insurious idleness. <
When he had finished, his wife (
spoke: , '
"Yoa may not like to. hear my ?
father's
opinion of me, Edward, 1
though, he meant it to be a com pii- 1
mentary one. He elways said I i
should have been a man, for I had a. i
true business head. For ten years (
before he died be was paralyzed, shd (
I was the actual bead of, bis business. <
He left me a competency, which was* S
stolen from me by a dishonest trustee, i
and I should have taken np some oc- c
cnpation to gain my own living had a
hot Maud been left an orphan and j
implored me to lite with her. i
,4It was scarcely a life of iadepend- g
roce for she needed me, and her t
lavish gifts of clothing and jewelry I 1
accepted iri the - place of the salary t
iby! odo else in my place most have c
been paid. Now listen to my propo- 1
sitiop. The factory raj fathSroon- c
trolled is closed, bat I am an old c

yon conqaer ill the rntricaciea of t
business, and dan carry on the whold r
without my assistance. Until then {
let me direct and teach yon. When i
yon are a rich man yon can boy me f
some more diamond*" i ?
It was not a matter for hasty de- t
oision, but before their wedded lwe t
was six months old, Mr. Joyce was
engaged in his new business, and was t
amazed himself to find how rapidly 3
he learned to guide it. (
"Every day filled his heart with" (
deeper love for the noble woman who (
was so true and faifchfal a helpmate j
to him; who, with all the knowledge j
he lacked, never let one elerk or em- i
ployee gnsss her real positron. And j
he, learning all qnickly, had' sufficient <
sense to let her control the entire ;
bosiness, nntil she herself, after two <
years of faithfal service, said: "Yon 4
can do with oat me now, dear. I
resign." ,
And as years robed the devoted ,
wife of her strength and the noble ;
beauty of middle life/they took noth- \
ing from the love of a husband who ;
knew that to her be owed all his
prosperity.' He realized fnlly the
life of indolent luxury he would have '
led, and contrasted it with the useful
one to which she had guided him. A
I kind master, the families of bis workpeople
knew they had always a friend
in the head of the vast establishment
in which the husband and father
toiled. Without children- they extended
their charities far and wide,
and when gratitade met them, Edward
Joyce Said?
"The thanks are yours, dear. But
for you, I should be thet dreadful object,
an aimless, indolent man of
fashion, what in days gone by they
called 'an old bean.'"?The Saturday
Evening Poet.

Washcwtok, January 22.?Mr. Bar- I
bert of Alabama, from the Committee j
on ]$aval affairs, reported back Bon- \
telle'8 resolation calling on the Sic: A
retary of the Navy for information i
relative to alleged erasure of certain J

Union soldiers at Norfolk navy yard,
with an amendment extending the

Secretary of tbe Navy. Mr. Herbert
stated that the resolution was sabstantially
the same as that originally
offered by Mr. BootelHr, except that"
it was somewhat broader. '
There was crowded into the tieit
half boar the most exciting political
debate that has been presented to tbe
Hoase this present session. Tbe debate
was opened by Mr." Bo ate He,
who premised his direct speech apoD
the resolation with a remark calling

with this, he ^Bootefle) had' been t

Machinery at tbe navy yard, because s
if his demnrring to tbe defacement a
if the dry dock, and the appointment r
if a man whose title to tbe position c
ested on hia service in the*: Con-'
'ederate army. He considered that a 1
sufficient reason for calling attentjpn c
:o the matter. He had feofad/bvi- ?
lence that nface the-4th of Mfafab, a
1885, there had been repeated and.. (

He deemed that a fitting matter to t
call to the attention of the Honae (
and of the country. The attempt, (
whenever made and by whoever <
made, to set up the plea that ?
tearing down of the loyal memorials 1
of the war was demanded by any i
broad sentiment of patriotism was |
an absolnte sophistry. If the time <
bad come ; or should. come to ob- J
j* ' t f
literate the great rneiilorials of the 4
rebellion, the monuments of the 1
rebellion itself ebould be first torn 1
down. Let not the work be begun
by taking down inscriptions com- i
memorative of the victories of armies i
of the United States. He bad a list /
of great marble memorials growing (
op all over this land to perpetuate^ J
the canse of treason and rebellion.

As to the question be presented lor
me to answer, if bewill bat consult
the Holy Bible at the same places be

very plainly. Did Noah, the
preaeher of righteousness, and Just
Lot commit sin by getting drank ?
Was tbe wins' Christ instituted as a
part'of church .ordinances ih*. accosed,
fermented liquors now kept in
grog-shops? He says "It will reqnire
about as mneb room in Hell to
aoodmmodate liars as it will drankards."
Well, all will admit that they
most have their jfcrtion "in tbe "lake
that bnrneth with fire and brimstone."
Bat where will yon find a real con'
firmed drunkard who will not lie and
swear? Doubtless, be is not to be
found; therefore I have, good rights
for assigning the sixty thousand

How can "E. H."<>r any one else
attempt to argue that it is not sinful
to drink temperately as well as any
other way? when the Scriptures condemn
it in different places. On one
occasion the Lord said: "Do not
drink wine nor strong drink, thou,
nor thy sons with thee, when ye go
into the 'tabernacle of the congregation,
lest ye die: it shall be a states
forever throughout your generations,"
Lev. 10:9. On another occasion the
Lord said: "He shall asperate himself
from wine and strong drink,, and
shall drink no vinegar of wine, oi
vinegar of strong drink, neither shall
he drink any vinegar of graves, noi
eat moist grapes, or dried," Num. 6:3.
In another place it is written: "Now
