AFTER TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS.-A romaucc of real lifo, stranger than any fiction, has recently had its denouement, ono of tho parties most interested being a resident of this city. This is a wid owed lady whoso name we are not at liberty to make public for tho present, who has recently discovered tho where abouts of a long lost daughter, stolen from her twonty-scveu years ago when un infant. Tho lady, though a resident of Springfield for some years past, is a native o? Hartford County, Ct., and went with her husbnnd, after her marriage, to western New York, which was then a good deal of a wilderness as compared with its condition now. Her first child, a girl, was born there, and she was on her way to rejoin her husband, after a temporary separation, whoo the iufaut was stolen from her during a long stage journey, tu:d she has never seou the child since, though, HS noted above, she has recently discovered that hbo is alive, and living in Wisconsin, where sho is mar ried and has three children. Tho anguish of the mother at losing hor first born child can bo conceived but not described. A lrmir fit of sickness followed, and after her recovery all possi ble search was made for tho missing babo, but without success. Hut the mother never gavo up hopo of hearing of her child, and after twenty-sovon years had elapsed, her faith and patience have nt last been rovrnrded. It seems ?ho al ways suspected a man who carried her some fifteen miles by private convoynnco to meet the stage, when on her way to join her husbaud, of stealing thc child, with intention of adopting it as his own. She now knows that ho was tho abductor. Ho gave it to an accomplice, who took it some fifty miles ncruss thu border, into I'eii?sylvania, where it was placed in a family with a sum of money sufficient to provide for its wants for tomo time. His evident, intention was to reclaim the child when he could do so without BUS ?dcion.

Communication has been established for Borne months now be tween the mother and daughter, and photographs exchanged, which leave no doubt of the relationship, if any had ex isted before. They proposo to have u meeting, soon, uenr tho scene of their tragic parting moro than a quarter of n century ago. What a meeting it will bel -Springfield {Mass.) Union. WHO COULD OFFER MORE.-Tho following littlo story is a touching oue, and the nero thereof is a well known young gentleman of this city : Ho has neon somewhat wild in his habits in tho past, but for four months he bad abstain ed from drink and spent his evenings at home. Oue oveniug, threo weeks ago, he wont out calling and some ono gavo bim a gloss of wine. Tbh? aroused the sleeping fiend, and ho went off on a ' grand carouse. For threo days ho los' all mastery over himself, and scarcely know where he was. Ou the morning of tho fourth day he was comparatively sobered up. He wandered into tue read ing room of one of our hotels, where he ? was weil known, and bat down and stared moodily iuto tho street. Presently a tittie girl of about tea years came in and looked timidly around tho room. She was dressed in rags, but she had a sweet, intelligent face that, could scarcely fail to excite sympathy. There wore five persons in the i c ora. and she then weat to each, begging. One gentleman gave her c five cont pieco, ana sho then went I to tho L ?ntleman spoken of and a-dced him for a penny, adding, "I haven't bad ! any thing to cat for a whole day. The gentleman was all oui of humor aud bo said crossly: "Don't bother me; go away; I haven't bad any thing to eat for threo days. The child opened ber eyes in shy wonder and stared at hin? for a momeut, and then walked slowly towards the door. Sho turned tho knob and then, after hesitating a few eeconds, she turned quickly and walked straight to him who had spoken no ill-naturedly, j and gently laying the fivo cents sho had received on hts knee said with a tono of true'girlish pity io her voice, "If you haven't had any thing to eat for threo days you take this and go end buy some bread. Perhaps I eau get some more somo whore." Tho young follow blush ed to the roots of his hair, and biting tho miniature Sister of Charity in bis arms he kissed ber two or threo times, in de light. Then be tock ber to tho perseus in tho room and to thoso in the corridors and tho offico, and told the story and asked contributions, giving himself all tho money ho had with bim. He suc ceeded in raising ovor forty dollars, and sent tho kindly ncntod ono on ber way rejoicing.-Pittsburg Tklegraph, A MODEL CONFESSION.-Sovcral > cars ago, in n Western town, a young lawyer, a member of a large chmrh, got drunk. Thc brsthrcs srJdsc eczfeso. ils demurred. Ho knew tho members to be ?,ood peoplo, but that they"- bad their aults. such as driving sharp bargains, screwing labor down to low wages, loan ing money at illegal rates, misrepresen ting articles they bad for sale, etc But t/i-y were good people, and pressed the lawyer to come boforo tho church meet ing and own up his sius of taking a glass two much, for thov wera temperance people and abhorred intemperance. ^Tno stonor finally went to tho confes sion, found a large gathering of brethron and sisters, whoso bowed beads rose and whose eyes glistened with pure delight as the lawyer began bis confession : "I confess," ho said, "that I never took ten p?r cent, for money." On that confession down went a brother's head with a groan. "I never turned a'man from roy door who needed food and ahol ter." ll n went another head. "I confesa i. ?.ever sold a skim milk cheese for a new ono," whereupon a sister shrieked for mercy. "BUL" Concluded the sinner. "I have been drunk, andi am sony for lu" - There is no trait in the human char acter so potential for weal or woe as firm ness of purnoie. It is, wonderful to see. what mfrnclej a re^lu^ n:id unyielding spirit will achieve. Before its irresistible energy the r?ost formidable obstacles be* 'comocobweb barriers in its natl ! THE CZAR'S CLEMENCY. fonding a Young Mau to Hlberia Because II* WM Honest. Of the lute Czar Nicholas, a Russian Nihilist tells in the North American He view a striking story. A young student, a relative of the writer, hud with a few friends formed a literary society in which the works of contemporary political econ omists, publicietu, and philosophers were read and and debated. The secret police denounced this society as a revolutiona ry organization, and the young student was imprisoned and condemned to Siberia. All possible influence was brought to bear upon the Czar, but in vaiu, ami at !a*t the young man's mother, meeting the Czar one duy in the Summer Garden, knelt and implored her son's pardon, as serting his innocence. Tho Czar seemed touched, and promised to give the youth a personal interview. Tho latter was brought to bis Majesty the next day, and the Czar, forcing him to bis knees before him said: "Can you swear before the Almighty God that neither you nor your associates bad any criminal design* against my life? Csu you swear that you believe in the holiness and eter nity of the Russian autocracy?" The surprised prisoner answered: "I can swear to your Majesty that neither I nur any of my friends had the remotest idea against your safety. As to tho auto cratic form of government. I can not con scientiously ?wear that I believe in its eter nity. The history of other countries teach es us that the time must come, even iu Russia, when the people themselves will take pai t in its government." The Czar tenderly embraced the student and giv ing bini a ring drawn from tho imperial linger, said: "This is a token of respect from your Czar. You have been sincere and truthful to me, and there is nothing I hate so much as a lie." Ile then ap proached thc writing table where lay the student's .sentence of exile, and with one 6troke of the peu signed tho paper. "I City you from the bottom of my heart," e said ; "you are au honest man, and an honest man, true to his convictions, is more dangerous to autocracy than an un principled rascal Therefore, I must punish you, though never was this duty more painful to me than now. God bless you, my sou, and judge mercifully if I should appear to be in the wrong." Then once moro embracing tho student, bo dismissed him to Siberia. THE RIGHT TO JJE IDLE.-Has any man the right to be idle? If so where dues bo find it? True, ho may have a sufficient store laid by to support him self without occupation, so that he can be idle at his own expense, and without inflicting woe or destitution on others, Rut this gives h?m no right to be idle. The world is full of work for bira and all other men to do, and tho Word of God commands bira to be busy for himself or for others. It commands all to re deem the time-to work while it Is day and throughout the sacred volume to which we look as the standard of a true morality, no sin is more pointedly con dciuucdthnn that of a misuse nr waste of time. It is thc duty and tho happi ness of all alike-rich nnd poor-to pro fitably employ timo. Wo complain with justice about va grancy and idleness among negroes ; but there is ton much idleness among whites. It ls the dutv of the whites to set an ex uinplo of industry-to lead in the path way of honorable employment. A man of wealth and prominence, spending his timo in lnnng'.ng around,, is setting a bad exam plo lo the young and to "his subord?nate?, which is effective in aggra vating publia idleness. True, all men aro entitled to leisure nnd recreation, but none cnn moke life a holiday with out abusing their trust and the gifts of Providence.
