"But who would dream it was once so beautiful," sighed Mrs. Atkins, as she and Mr*. Betner stood looking up to the old mansion, now but a dark, gloomy weather-beaten structure, half bid amid a wBd, luxurious growth of untrained rinea and choice but unkept shrubbery ; "it makes one think of some of tkoae aocitnt dungeons." "It certaluly doee," affirmed Mrs. Betner, with a chilly shrug, "but I don't suppose it baa had a cent laid out on It years — not since the old Squire died, and that la twenty-lire yean ago. But didn't they use to hare gay old times , hopes and fortunes this old mansion, | now on Ihe rerge ol utter ruin, furniahes," continued Mrs. Atkins, mediatirely. "This deserted place all Oiai is left of a once princely lorlunc— and Mbs Itcbecca," she added, hardly knowing ' "And her pride.'" inlerpoeed Mrs. ' Betner, "that stands out aa cold and haughty aa era. Isn't It drcidful the way she and the old servant hare lived should think Miss Rebecca would lose her mind, I would, 1 know, If I had to so confined. "Yrs, It is sad. and the matter bas worried me." observed Mrs. Atkins. "We all thought so much of the Squire, he was so genial and did so much for hit only daughter be so utterly neglect, ed." "But how can we help 11?" asked Mrs. Betner. " Miss Rebecca never would associate with any of the townsher father was alive, and late yean she has grown more proud haughty than bofore.

"I hare no doubt of it, in lad I am cettain of it," replied Mrs. Atkins, sorrowfully. "But now If something only could happen to Induce her to throw aahlo her stubborn -qrride, and open the mansion for a boarding house for factory girts, what a blessing It would be all around." ' Why, Mrs. Atkms, are you cratyl I fould sooner hope to see Queen Victoria open St. James Palace. Ah, Jllsa ltebccca la Invincible 1 Surely you have n6 serious thought of this !" "Yea, I have ; It has been on my mind a long time, butt have hesitated for Nichols has enlarged his factory for the bands, and they are crowded in most uncomfortable quarters. These grounds would be a lovely spot for the and the occupation and pecuniary aid It would give Mlsr Rebecca would be most wholesome. Oh, if 1 only could eee my way lo broach the matter ! " "Well, deliver me from the task!" cried Mm. Betner, ea they were about lo take the gravelled but grass-hedged path leading down the knoll and across river to town. "I can assure you It will be a thankless errand." "Well, perhaps not," persisted Mrs. "for I understand that Miss Rehas clandestinely, through her city friends, disposed ol neerly ell the valuables tha Maustou once possessed to keep up the taxes and obtain food. Aad presume U It were not for the pension thefiquire settled on Kale, they might seem as though It would need much more to humble her euOlcieoUy to accede to my plan." "Btrangc she never married, with all lier wraith and her youthful beauty." "Yet, but It wee the tame heugbty pride that stood in her way, no one quite healthy or One enough for her.

Poor Hits Rebecca, I can but feel sorry for you," groaned Atkins -from lhe depths ol her warm, motherly bran." The two tad let had hardly got beyond ' the ample ground of the old Harkneea place, when they heard some one running, aa if In urgent haste, down the old atone walk lo Ihe street ; snd before they could turn, they heartl the cry: "Ob, ladles, Miss Beck hst IcU sm hurt herself In the girrit en' 1 can't quite brong her too ; plate one ol je'a come Poor Kate wea In evident distress of ralod, and Mrs. Atkins at once followed her Into the houae, while Mrs. Betner, heartily glad of her friend's choice, hurfor the Dockrf.

tha Worst and Wages of Fran I Mlnletnr. visited England, Belgium and Ocrmuy. Ten yeara ago.l visltad quite leburely E 1 gland, Scotland aad Fneoa. I waa then deeply ud sadly Impressed with the hardships and poverty of tha duaea in the Oid World. In ' my recent visit I gave special »rt est Host to the coodltioni of Ihe tabonng due. made inquiries personalty from many sources u to wages In all departments of manual labor. I took pains to know for myself the condition of the laboring clothing, their food and their education, and tho results of these careful observations b a feeling of sadness for the laboring classes of Europe which I never had before, ud which no one ess unless from personal observations himself. At the" dScks at Glasgow, Scotland, I HW women with wheelbarrows heavily looking men. wheeling freight to and Ing all kinds of field work, Including the work of getting hay and grain, I ' work, ud working u late u 8 o'clock In tbe evening. 1 uw thb In England all the way from Liverpool to London. | I uw 11 in Belgium and Germany even j a greater extent than In England. In the cities of Antwerp ud Brussels, in 1 Belgium, and in Cologne, Ocrmuy, X ' women doing the work of hones. 1 Tbey were hitched to carts which were laden. I noticed especially In ' Ihe city of Cologne, Germany, much of the hardships ol tbe laboring classes. I ' stood on the bridge of boats crossing the ' Rhine snd saw muy pliable spectaclea. one cart with nearly a two-horse 1 load of track for the Cologne markets hitched by ropes across tbe hreeet and around the waist, a young MH|and a young woman— brother and Melee, evidently, for there wu a strong finally resemblance — and the load wu >0 heavy every twenty yarda, ud then tt was to start tbe load. I noticed the young girl especially. She would pull till every joint ud muscle In her body trembled before the load would start. In the market-place of the City Women did all the work three. There were two hundred of them In these mar. ket- places. The morning I wu there R wu raining hard ud theee poor creatures were literally drenched with rain. For all Una hard toll and theee long . each day the wages paid were scart-cly half of what i» paid to our laboring classes. Thb b true of all kinds of labor In Europe. It is sometimes said that while wages In Europe are low the living b very cheap. Tbey do live cheaper thu we do. Tho poor creatures can't do otherwise. They live in plainest manner. You rarely find a bit of carjict 00 the floor of even what they call their spare-room. Their tabhu con. tain very few diahea of fooA Meat ud butter are luxuries rarely enwsd by the worklngmcn In Europe. I turned my back upon (Karoto with reelings or mdneaa for tbe ^IRJg millions of those lands and my face towards thb, my dear old country, feeling thai our lud b the earthly parediss ol the laboiing nun. I do not wonder that every ship from these lands is L cavity weighed with strange for these hospitable shores. 1 also felt more thu ever before , that It is a sacred duty of every American cl riby voice and vote to perpetuate to the laboring man in this lud the preeminent pdsitlon which he In thb country of all other counties In the world cnJoya. It will indeed be a aad day tor the laboring man when, by the vote of the American people, the blessing! of American protection to labor shall give place to llic pauperizing competition of Trade.
