THE LOST BRACELET.
Just odd penny, if you pit-use, ma'am.'
It was the day before Cbristmas, and
late in tho afternoon, a beautiful and ricbly
dressed lady as walking up Broadway wi'h
her arms laden with brown paper parcels.
Hundreds of people were hurrying* along,
jostling eacb other as they passed up nnd
down the crowded thoroughfare; but her
bright, happy face was like a ray of sunlight
in the gathering darkness of the win?
ter afternoon, and the owner of the c'.nt_
terings shoes that had beeu follow?;l)0. |lor
o "
ftomo distanco, took courage froi'j its r,io.dest
pica for 'just one penny.?
'It waB n low, pleading voice % scarcely
tiudible in llio noise find bu''"t,3 around, vet
the lady heard it, for tdi' a ..jrnod and looked
an instant at the 1 f^je creature before
her, Iler scanty g^-mcnt was a poor protection
from tl\efrosty air, and her hands
and pale fH'C0 ]ocfced and pinched
with the cq!<Jj ber inisor.iblo hood had fallen
on h#ef shoulder, and a p*'r of eIo_
quont eyes )ooVed!jp into toe lady's face,
while, wi?;? f-ier little stumpy broom, she
swept cubing.
Never mind,' said she to herself, *1 can
walk bo ,m4?this poor little thing needs
tbis nv jr? tban I do and she dropped in
to the , open palm before her the only sixpenct
j 'There, child, a merry Christmas
you,' she said in a sweet, syinpa*'"7
.wig voice, which made the tears come
,nt o .i'ue dark eyes of the little girl, as she
*r' o? to tbink her. I
It, wa3 a long walk that the lady had before
hor, and the oniinbuses rattlod along i
villi a provoking empty soat or two inside,
#ut her heart was light and happy wiib
(llie little sacrifice which she had made,
just as the jets of gas began to blaze
out of windows, sho reached her home.
She had been carried only c short time,
\ J as she looked a*aund lior pretty jrs*v.v
i J^M4*;ll?Z?kl,a'-V?*<'rraU hirni'stidd for her in
their boarding-honse, s!:o felt more than
ever grateful thai God had given her such ;
a happy home. She Lad not removed ber ,
hat and ciccdc, when she heard Iier lius- !
bind's step in tho hall, and with a smile '
and a kiss, she mot him at the door.
'Why, Kate, how tired you look?lmvo
you done a great deal of walking today.?'
Kate blushed and smiled, but deception
was not a part of her nature, and she replied
: 'Yes, Henry, I walked all the way
home.'
'You shoulden'c have done that,' said bs,
a little reproachfully, and he laughed
as be contiuuod: 'Did you ppi'nd all your
money, so that you couldn't afford a sixpence
to ride home with V
'Well, I suppose I mu<t tell,' said Kate, j
with another blush, 'i did have just one
sixpence left, and was going to rido up,;
when such a poor little giil 1
'Yes, that's if, I know what's coming, j
Why, Kate, you make the very mischief j
among the poor people and my pennies? I
they are the moat ungrateful set in the i
world.'
'But,' said Kate, earnestly, she was such ;
a delicate, half-clothed, and, 1 am afraid,
hall-starved little street sweeper 1
'Street-sweeper,' and her husband held ;
up his hands in mock horror; 'why Kate, 1
they pick up handfulls of money in a day,!
and didjyou walk home, and give one a
whole sixpence. Oh, oh, what YronMn't
your innocent Siuie heart do next
JJate bore this quizzing very well, and
was about to reply, when, on passing her
hand up her arm, she exclaimed suddenly:
'0, Henry, my bracelet is pone?your gift,
last Christmas?what ahall I dot whera |
can I have lost it ?'
4Thatis too bad,' eaid he thoughtfully, I
but the next moment ho continued, shrug- j
ging up hia soulders mischievously : 'May \
be some honest person has picked it up.'
Seeing the tears comc icto hid wife's eyes '
at this speech, he put his arm around her :
and kissed her, with, 'Never mind, though,
lean replace it somo time.'
Her husband, who really lov^d his little
wife tenderly, took her hand and put soine>
thing in it, closing her slender fingers tightly
over it, saying 'Don't distress yourself
any more about bracelets and street-sweepers
; here's your Christmas gift, and the
next time you go down town get a pretty
Bet of furs with it.' Kate's hand oloBed
over a hundred dollar bill.
The day after Christmas she wns again
in Broadwav. and ? ? ? *
nan paseiDg Dy
the identical cpot' where she hnd given
away hei aixpence, ebe fait ber dress pulled
gently, and toroing round she encountered
the same little half clad gijl.
I'm so glad to nee you've coma, ma*aro,f
BAid the child ; you dropped this the other
day and I've been saving it for you ever
since; and pulling something oat* of. her
bosom, she put it into lady's hand. Haiti"_
ly unrolling the bit of naws-paper,Kate
-f Alair saw her bracelet. . What triumph j
for. herself and for Henry. 'JUjiak yoo, 1

which is going to make her well.*
Kate's eyes glistened as sh* heard this,
and thought of the tero-ptstioo to ride
home that God hnd helped her to reclst.
'Tnke tne with yf*yll your mother,' she
said, still hol?^tDg tj10 girl's bond?'such

| It was a pretty long walk away over
near t.'oe North Rivor, hut phe6nHlly reach
?d the tenement houne, in the basement of
1 which the little girl lived. A pale, sii-k'y
v/nnmn was Iviogt on ft bed in a single
room which she occupied, but she looked
up eng0r'vi as she heard her child's voice
suy, 'Here mot!in?\thn beautiful lady is co.ne
herself.' Kale oat down by the bedside,
and lent her e*r lo a talu of want and
privation of which she had n<>ver dreamed,
and leaving what litile pocket money she
had with her, she promised to come and
see her again; then she started for her
husband's office. Mr. Alair was poring
over his account books when IC;ite rushed
| in with her bright eyes and glowing
cheek*, and hold:ng up the bracelet before
his eye?, she exclaimed : "See there, Henry,
that's what came of my giving sixpence
to the street- sweeper.
Her husband l->ok?d up, glad and sur
prised, first at seeing her, ui:?l then bi-can.-e
the* bracelet wiin fou k), :iisd he listened
while she told li'.in of the interview with
the child hii<1 her mother. 'And now,
Henry, I am going to a-k you if I may do

Kate thanked him with lier moistened eyos

closed a'tar her, Henry said to himself,
There goes an angel ; and if ever that

The little girl's mother did not g?*t well '

forting, cheering words. Even little Jane
sho taught to say with faith, 'When my
father and mother forsake ray, then the
Lord will take mo up.'
i>y anu oy Mr. and Mrs. Alair went to j
house ket-ping, and they took lillle Jane,
now ac oiphun, to live with them ; and it'
there was one g'aco more than nnoi hor that
Kate prayed the child might have, it was
th.nt of charity; fur Jane's growing beauty
of character, and her cotn-ttnt gratitude,
proved a continual reminder to her generous

movement which Iihs been iiihtiiuted to

niihiokcii l!i t> union of the ,United State*,"
and I in the " 'vhich you have
cent me the principles and viewn by which
the Administration has been governed.
Tho attempt made to destroy tbe. nn

the heresy of (eceioion. On

lish those fraternal relations which
fur four years has been interrupted.
Tin* policy initiated by President Lincoln
to restore national unity was adopted
niid carried forward by President Johnson;
the Srnics which had been in rebellion j
were under this benign policy, resuming
their legitimate functions; the people had
laid down their arms, and those wbo bad
been in insurrection were returning to their
allegiance ; the Constitution had been vindicated,
and the Union was sunuosed to ba
restored, when a check was put upon the
progress to nationn1 harmony and prosperity
thus dawning upon the country. On
the assembling of Congresi all efforts toward*
union and nationality became suddenly
paralyzed ; ihe measures of reconciliation
which I he. President had, from the
tirnt he entered upon his dptiev, pursued
with eminent nuccess, were assailed, and
their ben- fluent purpose, to a great exieut,
defeated ; attempts were made to impo6e
conditions precedent uputi States before permitting
tbem to exerci.-e their constitutional
rigid*; loyal Sr-natora and Rt-prenenLativos

rebellion were lelused admittance i.ito ConjrreaK?tbe

in tbe Government.
Tliece proceeding*, which conflict wjih
i lie fundamental principles on which our
whale governmental t?yntem i* founded, are
geneiating find consolidating sectional animosity,
and, it long persisted in, muBt eventuate
in permanent alienation. I rejoice,
therefore, in a movement which has
lor it? object the union wi one bond of luve
ot the people of our common coontrv, and
which invites to counsel and to political ac
| lion the citizen* of every State and Terri
torv. from the At'aniicio the Pacific, and
from the Lukes lo f be Gulf. Tbe centralizing
theory ttiat tlie loyal aod qualified
Senators and Representatives f?om eleven
Stales shad be excluded from Cong ret p,
and that tri?&e Slates aod the people of

Government, is ecarcdy leas repugnant
than tbat of secession itself.

inya:
We have been commanded by a lady lo
suggest the propriety and expediency ol
our erecting a monument tbo memory ?.*t'

write tbe name of every soldier of tbut
District \\ bo ft II in the late war?tbe name
and rank only. As a further rot-o:d of
their deed*, ,let a register bo^ kept for
this.
It is loo eoon to ereel these memorial
shafts just now; but let the organizations bo
collected, and tbe names prepared, with a
view to erecting them a few years hence.
Lret committees be appointed to receive and
solicit contributions, aud thus keep the
matter before Die people until the opportune
time comes, as it will, for the work
itself.
Such is the suggestion we nre delegated
to make. It comes to us freali from a woman's
heart; and we feel a thrill of pride as
we hnnd it to our circle of reading friends.
We commend it to the hearts of our people
and trust that it will also commend itself to
them,
