I hadn't been there half aa hour, when a woman oome runnta 1 along the pike that ran parallel with the field, a- wavin' her sun-bonnet at me wild like, an' soreamln* at the top of her voloe : 'Keub!

She only succeeded in reaching it with her fingers, however, and although the nerved herself with a strong effort to believe the little thing was not hurt the sudden gasp which came from the heap struck a chill to her heart. Meg herself was badly injured, but ilg enough should 1h> made to know It. They should be raised to habits of Industry. The girl of ten years should help her mother in house work and In nursing the baby. The boy of ten should begin with the hotf in the garden and the ax at the wood- pile. The piano is all right, and so is the pony, but work should be mixed with pleasure. Sometimes I think there is too much schooling and ooileging going on in this generation, and too little work. The curriculum of our public schools is now nine long years, say from eight to seventeen, and then comes three or four more of college and no work in all that time, no habits of industry, noth ing hut books, books. There is hardly a sweet girl graduate in the State who can make her own dresses. She goes to the milliner and keeps her poor old father on as train.

She raised herself, crouching on all fours as she was, and sought to lift a part of the heavy beam which seemed to be slowly deadening all her faculties. After a time she noticed that the cradle had formed a sort of n-nook -next-the- waltraad- Iw-nn-heer she wrestled to crawl the two feet which Intervened between her and the clear space. As she at last dragged her body from beneath the beam she must have fainted for a moment. She came to in a moment, however, knd immediately groped with both her bleeding hands over and over the cradle. Where was the baby ? Soon in the darkness a vivid flash of lightning illumined the place and she saw that Johnny was right next to her, wnere he had been tumbled when the cradle turned under the cruel weight of the timbers. Meg tenderly lifted the little form. She knew quite well that the baby wae dead. She did not caress it with Any vain hope of bringing it to life again. She only held iu face close to her face and crouched in the corner there, say ing-many Inarticulate words to it. She murmured the vague and InU&glble nothings to her child that all women ossess within their hearU for chil ren. Meg sat there in the darkness ; she MM H found she oould sit qalte comfortably by leaning her head torward over tbs baby. Sbs had forgotten the pain In her legs, and It was too dark to notice her bleeding bands.

In view of the declaration of the Chicago convention in favor of the "free and unlimited” coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, the question, "Can the United States (Independently of the concerted action of Europe) establlub and maintain the parity be tween gold and silver at the ratio named V " Is of increasing interest. —Eastern polltlclapg—kPd x'apiuHgtB for the most in the ne Western art answer this question be Southern and have answered in resumably influenced by personal 'ejnocr&cy the affirmative. Both.anthers bein ( iresumabiy innuenced by person nterest, an unprejudiced investigation may elucidate the probable truth. Tt ' * * he consensus of impartial scientific opinion may be said to have resulted in agreement upon the following prop ositions : 1. Since 1873 gold has risen in value 100 per cent., and silver and all other commodities have fallen 50 per cent.. 2. Under the gold standard gold must continue to appreciate and other ilate. commodities depreciate. 4 3. These conditions benefit the hold ers of realized riches, and persons with fixed incomes, and tend to hard times, the Impoverishment of the many and the bankruptcy ol the debtor 4.

But there were uo grandparents incur fam ily, and we little chaps had to rough it like Cain and Abel did. Nowada/s it takes two parents and three or four grandparents and several aunts and a nurse and a baby carriage to raise a child, but that is all right if the child Is blessed with such privileges.

He reached the second floor and in the darkness he listened shivering and trembling. “ Meg !” he cried, “ Meg !” and from the corner where she was imprisoned he heard the taint whisper of a wo man's voice. It was only a dim whisper he heard, but it guided him to the, place. When he had raised the beam and taken her andthe baby up in his arms, Meg said soitly. " You’re not hurt, arc you, John ?" She attempted to cover t"t-' rraby’s face, before he couW see it, bu 1 , u^r haaJs ro'us .d to ob^y her wif.. John had no need to look in the chi.d’s face; what he saw in his wife’s bad sufficed. He bent double under the unaccustomed weight as he made his way down the stairs'. He touched his lips to Meg's in the darkness. It was one of those act* which'‘God has allow ed to take the place of words. ^Saturday the roof and the wall were repaired and Sunday morning a little wisp of whits muslin and ribbons were seen fluttering from the second story window. -TM Ceiled totetoe to fa The ?viessit aiatos ston eslahi leh totoNytos Kero (i see Mrttoa CM tele he lues* leek es perl meal le at oee* see aad eM fl Is eld to cease we had froe eateago ef hate meiels on to Ifftl 1% la see heaaaas herstoUira tea serosas ef tea too ■osale has toos ostehUeNed epaa a raUa sppras l aroSteg tea eesasaerctei vales of tee aoSaie Mv.

Thus the two metals parted company in value as well as in money use. It will hardly be questioned that in ternational free coinage would restore silver to par with gold. In such case' old, no longer having the monopoly, ut being in competition with silver, would fall in price and silver would rise until parity was reached. It will also be conceded that the parity> would be maintained with free coinage by the United States alone at a ratio .of 30 to 1. This Js what Is meant by some when they say, " Put a dollar’s worth of silver in a silver dol lar.” The fallacy of the contention for taking the present commercial values as the basis of the coinage ratio is that it leaves oat of consideration the increased market price of silver that would come from its Increased use caused by Its restoration to mintage. , Could it be definitely ascertained in advance what effect free coinage would produce on the price, the ratio could tvvm i*. isoa stations r3?r Lvtekrlatem f ITi'S hr " NrusMto TTaTs m 11 11 p m 11 a pm 1 * P m 1 4S p to Ar AVbarl^s^ nrrS Ar. fislton Tirrs r " TH'ito Ar- Orssarihi. ~TWin fcrTl'Qtata WT» fiTATlOXh. | ^ k»r. wrosnrius -JSKL::::::::::::: TOTn-a 10 U a as 11 18 a ns j^jln.la.-ata 11 M a as MB'S'ton gllX’ .iIT ■ ——^ ' 11 US Vm J? !>« T.3 WTHodgM Orsanweod.
