The ring of the sleigh- bells was heard ring ing, merril y npon the broad streets. \In private dwellings , too , there was joy over the 2Jew Year ' s g ifts so lavishly bestowed. But there were ex- ceptions to this , and of these exceptions 1 wish-to mention one. -In a poor tenement a sick woman lay stretched out on a bed in a paroxysm of fever. Sickness , at best; ia sad enough; but when it is attended by a lack of the comforts which can alon e make it endura- ble , it becomes still sadder , Besides , the sick woman there was a young womari , per- haps twenty years of age , with a face which was p leasant and attractive , desp ite the shade of sadness and anxiety which cloud- ed it. \Mother , \ she said , how do you feel , now ?' \Not very well , Mary, \ was the rep l y,, in a feeble voice. \It seems cold . Is there a fire ?\ \No , mother , \ said Mary Clement , sadly, \the fuel is all used up. \ Her mother si ghed. '\It is hard to be poor , \ she said. \We are more th an poor , \ said Mary, bitterl y. \We are destitute . Twenty-five cents is all I hium left. \ \God knows what will become of us , \ said Mrs . Clement. \What day is to- day ?\ *'lt is ' Ne w Year ' s D ay, toother. \ **A joy ful day to many, but to us E&dder because of that. When I think that we mi g ht have bten comfortable and independ- ent , but for your father ' s partner— \ \You mean Mr. Mordaunt ?\ \Yes. By some knavery, he managed to defraud your father of his cap ital without rendering himself amenable . tO the law . Now his sou rolls i n riches , I. am told. '\ \I know it , mo&er. \ \Have you heard anything of him lately, Mary ?\ . - \I believe he has recently returned from an extensive tour in Europe. Mother , do yon think it would he worth while to go and apeak to him and represent our circum stances. Perhaps he might hel p us now in our need. \ \No ; he is probabl y like his father-r-^ IianHiearted , selfish mau. There is little hope of hel p there. \ , Probabl y her mother was ri g ht. So Mary Clement thoug ht. But something must be done . ^'Mother , \ ehe said j \if yflu will not be lonely, I will go out and see if I cannot get something to do , I won ' t be gone longer than l ean help. \ \Yes , l ean ge t along, \ So she put on her street attire , 'better than might been expected from her desti- tute oirantn . sta.nce? , for with womanly pride she had clung to that which with many is the outward \ si gn of respectability, and went forth into the streets. A few minutes broug ht her to Broadway —for this is a New York stnry-r-and she ¦ wrtut up the street , scarcel y knowing ¦ where to apply for thu tituQioyuienfc she BO much ueeded. She ventured into one or two p laces , but there was a throng of holiday customers , and she was rudel y repulsed , when it was ascertained that she was not a customer , hut au applicant for work. .Again thon into ttio street sho trent forth dejected, , But suddenl y her gaze fell upon a finely formed and han dsome young man , who was walking before hex. She knew him , for in happier days ahe had met him as an equal. It was young Mordaunt—the son of the man who had wronged and def tauded hor father . He was handsomely dressed , and there was about him an air of elegance , which drew toward him the frequent glanc- es of those who passed him. \He is rich , \ thoug ht Mary, bitterly, \ while my poor mother suffers for the com- forts of life. Surely, this is not just. \ Mechanically she followed him , h aving no other aim or object , as there seemed no chance of obtaining emp loyment for this d ay at least. At last he turned into a side street , and paused before a handsom e house but a few doors from ' ..Fifth Avenue. Still she followed him , and saw him admitted. It was , as she knew , his own house. She , stood on the . opposite sidewalk for a few minutes , then , formin g a desperate reso- lution , and whispering to herself , \It is for my mother , \ summoned up her courage , and ascending the steps rang the bell. Her summons was answered by a servant. \Is Mr. Mordaunt iu ?\ she asked. . \Yes , miss. \ , \ .Tell him . that a young lady would . like to see him. \ \What name shall I g ive?\ \Th e name is of no consequence. \ Had Mary.been dressed in accordance with her circumstances she' tni g ht have been rudel y repulsed ; : but , as alread y said , she had clung to the outward si gn of . respecta- bility, and this served her in good stead now . _ _ . . . . _ .. . - The servan t withdrew , .b ut . shortly re-ap- peared. ¦ - ¦ \ \ . - - \Mr. Mordaunt will see you , \ she.said ; \ will you follow me ?\ . T - She led the way into a handsome sitting- room ' hung with pictures. , . Mr. Mordaunt stood before her , wifchJuis hat still in his hand . \You . wish to , see me , \ he said , in a.gen- tle tone. : .. -- . . .. , . , .-. . .. As she looked at-him , thoug h he was the son of-her , fath er- ' ? , enemy, she , c ould .. not hel p feeling the . fascination of his beautv , for he was noted for his.p h ysical graces. \I cannot expect that you will remember me , Mr. Mordaunt , \ she said , in a low voice ; \ yet once wo knew each. other well. \ \Indeed!\ and the young mau looked in- tentl y at , her jn evident doubt. - . ' 'iam-Ma^-Clenient. \ r r ¦ ' - ' ' . ' . V ''Miss , Clementr-Mary, \ he said , eagerly, advancing and taking her hand,; \believe me , when t say th at I am most g lad to meet you. Since I returned from abroad , I have soug ht you , and soug ht yon in vain. No one could tell me where you were. I trust you are well , and youv mother— \ \My mother is very ill , Mr. Mordaunt. \ \I regret very much to hear it , \ he sai d , in a tone of sympathy. \Tell me what is her disease ?\ . \A common one , \ she answered , bitterly ; \ she suffers from the privations entailed by poverty. \ \Is it possible ?\ ejaculated the young man , in accents of p ain. \I did not dream of this. You are then poor ?\ \ very poor. l earn s out this morning, leaving my mother in a miserable room in a tenement house , upon a sick bed. I have been from shop to shop to seek emp loy- ment , but in vain. At last I saw yon , and have come to make Ait appeal to you for as- sistance. You can imag ine that my pride must have sunk low before I did this. \ \No , \ said the young man , with a flushed face ; \it is not assistance you h ave come to ask— it is justice. \ ' \ - Mary regarded him with surpise. \It is a painful subject to discuss , \ he said j \but since I. returned from abroad , ana hay** examined rny father ' s papers , 1 have discovered in what mann er y our father was wronged. Will you do me the justi ce to believe that I discover this now for the first time ?\ Looking in his frank , and noble face , Mary believed him implicitly. \I have since sought to find you , but , as I said , fruitlessly. Now , however , w« have met , and rest assured that the sou shall atone for the father ' s injustice. \ He drew out his pocket-book , and took therefrom a roll of bills. \He re are one hundr»5d dollars , \ he said ; \let that be the firs t instalment. \ \One lmndrod dollars !\ eiolaimocl Mary, joy fully. \In my poor mother ' s uame , I thank you , Mr. Mordaunt. \ \No thanks are needed. Remember it is tbe oayrnerit oi a debt. Js your mother too ill to be moved ?\ \No , I think she would be better for a re- moval to a more cheerful room. \ \It shall be my eare to find a suitabl e home for her. I will look for one to-day. Meantime , do not spare the money in your hands , but expend it liberall y for her. \ G rateful tears moistened the cheeks of Mary Clement , and her eyes li ghted up with joy and gratitude. \How can I ever thank you ?\ she said. \B y pardoning the father , and g iving your friendshi p to the son , \ said the young man. , .. .. .;. ' \The lasi , si all events , will be easy, \ she answered. So with lightened heart she went forth from the house which she had entered over- burdened with sorrow. Xo longer did the happy faoea and merry sounds' of New Year ' s Day jar upon her cars , for she , too. was carrying , h app iness to the beloved mother , who- lay anxiousl y awaiting her. On the way she made f uch purch ases as were imrcediatel y needed , and ordere d f rom a restaui ant a roast chicken and vegetables , such as she knew would tempt the appetite of her mother. So , in the humble tenement house , a Happy New Year ' s Day was spent , and the invalid , cheered by hope , seemed brighter and better than for long before. The next day th ey removed to a comfort- able boarding house , where Mrs. Clement soon recovered her health. Mrl ^ Morda unt became a frequent visitor , and b y his sterl- ing qualities won the confidence and friend- shi p of the motUer , while in the heart of the daug hter a warmer sentiment foun d a p lace. It ended with a wedding, as mi ght have been expected ; and now there are few hap- pier householdsi .than that of young Mr. Mordaunt. Iuithe atonement of New Year ' s Day, he has found his long happiness. : ATONEMENT. LECTOBE BY PBEOTICE MTJIiFORD OS \ THE IN- VISIBL E IN OUR MIDST . \ . Mr. Prentice.jMulford lectured Sunday ni g ht at Tfenor ' s new hall , No. 1 , 266 Broad- way, on \The invisible in Our Midst , or Sp iritualism oil Trial. \ . The lecture was an intensel y: interesting one , some of the experiences related b y the lecturer being very thrilhri g : The most enjoyable feature , however , was the cool and unbiased manner in which Spiritualism was discussed. Per- haps the word \Spiritualism \ in the title of the lecture 'had more to do with keep ing many away than the inclement weather. It is rarely ohejis afforded an opportunity of hearing this jvexed question discussed in such excellent humor , speakers on the sub- ject being as a general rule radical , for or against it. . , - ! lts warmest advocates rarel y develop anything new , and after a few in- troductory remarks run on in the same rut as those who have gone before. Contrary minded speakers are too apt to characterize all things connected with manifestations as bosh and tpmfoblery. . : , In opepling^hj ?' subject Mr, -Mnlford sai d that he appeared in a rather peculiar capaci- ty, as in treating of the subject he would be constrained , aslthe theme developed , to act the alternate capacities of counsel for and COUnsel'llgainst Spiritualism . After g ivin g some very cognnt p hysical facts , as develop - ed by chemistry, in support of the state- ment that there was more of the invisibl e than the visible in our midst , he went on in the development of the idea b y showing that visibility-was to a great extent nothing more or less.than the result of combination . In elaboratingrhis top ic Mr. Mulford stated that he believed in the possibility of super- natural manifestations , and said that the oldest Christian faith—the Roman Catholic —admitted of the same possibilit y. In speaking of the medium power , as it is called , he . cited man y instances of its pos- session by.persons in private life ; persons who had never been known to the advocates of the doctrine. The wife of a particular frien d of his died in the interior of Califor- nia , and on the day of her death a young lad y living in the same family with Mr. Mulford , in San Francisco , came and told him a lady was present who wanted to speak to him. . , He could see no one but his informant , who * , shough he had never seen or heard of the deceased lad y, described her so minutely, even detailing a peculiar manner in which deceased dallied with her apron , that he was convinced the woman mus t be present. She (the sp irit) was very anxious to establish a communication with her husband and children , and soug ht him as a possible means of such communica- tion. In speaking of the very sensibl e question propounded by certain cynics. \Wh y don 't these spirits arid mediums become practical and tell us . how to become rich and hap- py?\ Mr. Mulford told an amusing ep is- ode which occurred to him. A lady of his acquaintance^\ who was said to have clair- voyant powers ,! told brm that under a cer- tain spot in the yard of the house there was buried $200 , 000 ; worth of gold' dust , left there b y a miner who was afraid to put it into tho banka^; After burying his treasure he returned tcrth e mines and died. Consid eriug this very practical Sp iritualism. Mr. Multood went to another clairvoyant and Consulted heiv ' sShe told the same story as the other lady, and Mr. Mulford went home to di g for a fortune . The only reason he. gives for his doing the digging instead of the many others who were in possession of the same information as he is that he was the best developed idiot in the part y. Of course , the goid dast was not found. Not- withstanding tiiis failure to realize on the information ^imparted by the clairvoyant , IVlr. Alnlford J?egefes they told biro what had been communicated to them . He be- lieves that peo ple when divested of their bodies^fcetain many, if not all , of their earth- l y peculiarities;! Now , hia theory regard- ing the information he received through the medium is.tiiut the wraith who impart- ed it had heeu ? aha stdl wa^ a poetical jok- er. Mr. Mulford dep lored , the cant that had been developed by spiritualistic devo- tees , and , iu couolusioJi, said there was a great field for investigation iu these maui- fCStatione, Ho frd not advocate investiga- tion , he said ; it is dangerous. \There is n supernatural power , \ he said , \but it has f allen into incompetent hands. It has been abused and bung led , and S p iritualism has degenerated into a vulgar contest between test mediums. \ — K T. Herald. . Spiry^alism on Trial. The latest fashion in China is something entirel y uni que and needs a little exp lan- ation for the uninitiated. A lady announces her intention of getting up a \ sentimental ten set. \ This means that she desires each of her friends to present her with a * cup and saucer , whose size , quality and costliness are left to the taste and generosity of the donor. When a sufficient number has been presented the nondescri p t collection is christened as a sentimental tea set. The lady is then in dut y bound to g ive a tea party to her con t ributors and friends , in which tbe cheering weed is served in the motley china , gathered together in this polite way of putting one ' s friends under contributions. Of course the ladies vie with each other in seeing who can collect the greatest number of offerings , and the gentlemen are warml y welcomed who come bearing in their hands costl y cups of deli- cata Sevres , or the petite creations of Ori- ental taste . We know of a lady in a neigh- boring city who numbers already twelve of these oddities , and she has just begun her collection. Her tea service thus far ranges from a tiny cup and saucer , a hundred years old , to an offering large enough for a bowl. The intermediate range includes a ridiculous variety in form , size and mate- rial. Great was the sport at the firs t tea drink , while the uni que disp lay afforded an abundant subject for conversation . We are told by those in authori ty that the fash- ion promises to be quite universal this win- ter , and we are sure it will be provocative of endless fun and perhaps just a little riv- alry, for will not a woman ' s attractive pow- ers be measured b y the number of these frag ile offerings she receives from her friends ? What a resurrection of odd tea cups and saucers from long occup ied hiding places .will take .place , and what a search there will be in the ' ehina shops for speci- mens rich and rare ' . ii ra -»c>» mi — r- Sentimciital Tea Sets, HOW SAM \VARI> OUCH MOUBTSHFU £ilt WITH VIANDS. A Washing ton corresponden t thus writes: A ppropriate in connection with Kerr ' s poor health comes a story which evidences tbe shrewdness of Sam Ward , the lobb y king^ aud how he can exemp lify the maxim that it' s an ill wind that blows no one any good. When Dick Irwin was here with others of the Pacific Mail crew , working the subsid y through Congress , they feare d strong op- position from . Kerr , and were on that ac- count in much trep idation in his regard. They had a meeting at Welcker ' s one ni g ht and debated with much anxiety as to what was to,be done. Understanding that he was unapproachable b y bribes , and imper- vious to personal subsidism. they were very much confused and at a vacant loss what to do to get him out of the way. Sam Ward—or Uncle Samuel , as he \a an- cestrall y known—had been watching Kerr for some days , and discovered that he was quite ill with dysentery . The others , over- locking small details , onl y knew that he was in Washington and opposed to them ;, they never took into consideration that the petty ailments of life are the very points that unhinge the entire plans of mankind. So Sam , big with his important knowledge , and with the predictions he formed fro m it , rose and said with a solemn voice , and a fat wink that that conveyed much mystery : \Never mind Kerr , gentlemen , I'll attend to him ; I am his physician. \ This was balm of Gilead to their soufcs , for they knew Sam never made c, vain boast. Uncle S. next day despatched his servant to Kerr ' s residence with a bonanza of ch oice viands , eooked under the person- al inspecti on of tbe ep icurean lobb y ist king, and wine from his cobweb covered cellars. These with his comp liments. And he re- hearsed the same charitable proceeding each day for a week. During Kerr ' s illness the 'bill was proposed and carried , and M. C. arose from his bed of illness blessing Ram Ward , whom ho had never Been , but knew , ho said , to bo a \kind hearted , good old man , who was remarkabl y attentive to him during his poor health 1\ And Sam received $5 , 000 from the lobb y fund for this fraud he perpetrated upon his own crowd , and Kerr was none the wiser of it , nor niav be to this day.

The season is upon us when the long eve- nings and inclement weather in daytime bring p ianos , organ s , &c , into more fre- quent nse. Very mauy are fearfully out of tune , and in some p laces it is difficult tp have them properl y tuned , if indeed at all. Permit me to briefly state what recently I heard from a good judge of such matters touching the intelli gent care of p ianos and reed instruments generall y, in addition to what experience had acquired from ex r perts in Europe. Pianos , first of all, oug ht nob to stand exposed to damp and chill air , but in as uniformly and moderately warm a room as practicable. The strings are high- l y susceptibl e to the vicissitudes of tem- perature , contracting or relaxing eorres^ ponding l y. Harmony is disturbed , and many a fine performer has been annoyed b y the instrument being unexpectedly out of tune , through the injudicious management of janitors and others in charge of the premises. Second , do not put any covera on the box or case , have the instruments to stand clear of contact from walls , and net very near doors and stoves , several inches from the same. Leave the whole lid open , or at least the front part ; but dail y, once or oftener , carefull y dust all the exposed parts. The line varnish of veneering and furniture-like p iano eases will last in good condition considerably longer if left uncov- ered and exposed to a mild but not vitiated atmosphere. Cast iron furnaces and heatr era make sad havoc with fine furniture. The dead air enclosed in an instrument for weeks together is . injurious and so are heavy covers , impervious like oil-cloth , fine wool , damask ,. pressed down additional l y by books , papers , &c— .Gci mantown Tele - graph.

An Eng lish paper states that an ocean homing bird , of great docility, intelli gence and sp irit , has been found in Ice-land , which flies with a meteor-like speed of 150 miles an hour , and is able to find its home , over sea and laud , from any part of the world. A pair of these birds , a few days ago , broug ht despatches from Paris to a lonel y spot , congenial to their nature , in ft wild and rock y part of Kent within ten miles of London , in l£ hours. Press car- rier pi geons took the despatches on to the cit y, the whole distance fro m Paris to Lon- don , b y actual parcel mode of conveyance , being done within 1J hours - If the experi- ments at present being made in training and educating them continue successful , it is hoped bj' next summer to establish ft dail y miniature ocean mail between Ameri ca and Europe , the whole distance to be traversed between sunrise in one hemis- p here and sunset in the other.

Then that b.vakemau said , \Well , T suppose yon know about the Westington - bouse b rake ? \ \Oh , yes ! we s«od , \ wo heard of (heir failure ; bust up for over a million , didn 't they ?\ And wh en ho told us that it was not a failure but a car brnke , we could not see wh y a flas h of lig htning could not drop down and destroy us. ^ Then \ore went inside and the brake * man came in and took u. key out of hie pocket , unlocked the stove , put in some wood and locked the door again. We asked hira what he locked the stove door for , and he shut up his left eye aud said he locked the doors so the fire <?t>ithln 't go ovt. — Bel- fast Journal.
