I have only a rosebud and a<lb />geranium for you this morning. I<lb />could not make the flowers bloom.�<lb />oOh! Miss Ellen, you are so kind, so<lb />good�, and the pooy fellowTs eyes filled<lb />with tears that ran down his storm<lb />beaten face, which was now almost<lb />pale, made so by suffering and long<lb />confinement, and hig voice choked so<lb />he could not say more for some min-<lb />utes. Do you wonder why we find a<lb />lovely young lady in the chairity ward<lb />of an hospital talking with a poor sailor,<lb />and trying to make the dull days so<lb />filled with pain a little brighter? I.<lb />will tell you, Ellen Hope was a lively,<lb />attractive girl about twenty years old.<lb />She was rich and populur. Her time<lb />after leaving college had qll been well<lb />occupied with having a gocd time, not<lb />that she was especia'ly thoughtless, but<lb />never having seen poverty or suffering<lb />she as others never thought about it.<lb />Ond Fall she -was visiiing Baltimore,<lb />and her friends there belonged to a<lb />flower mission.and Ellen would at times<lb />go with them to the Hospital to carry<lb />flowers to the patients. She became<lb />very enthusiastic about the work so<lb />when shecame home, she determined to<lb />organize a flower mission, thinking then<lb />only of the sweet idea of giving flowers<lb />to the sick, but how often in helping<lb />we get so much more than<lb />give. One step in the right<lb />leads to paths filled with richest<lb />treasures, unthought of by those who<lb />pass by, as one step downwards leads<lb /><lb />to depths of wickednesss to the pure<lb />¥<lb /><lb />others<lb />we<lb /><lb />and innocent.<lb /><lb />EllenTs plan was laughed at by some<lb />There are<lb />some people who never do any good<lb />in<lb /><lb />and called a passing fad.<lb />themselves, but are very energetic<lb />trying to keep others trom accomplish<lb />ing anything, We will pass them by<lb />and speak of the others who entered<lb />heartily with Ellen, glad to have some-<lb />thing to do, There are many who<lb />A little band was<lb />They met<lb /><lb />know how to begin.<lb />formed numbering twelve.<lb />onc? a week and carried flowers to the<lb />poor who otherwise would never see<lb />any of the beauties of nature telling<lb />in such beautiful language of our fath-<lb />erTs love to them.<lb /><lb />We who have so much to enjoy and<lb />make us happy can hardly understand<lb />what a flower or a kind word means to<lb /><lb />unless we go to them and make them<lb />feel that, we ¢dre for ead sympathize<lb />with them.<lb />Ellen had been visiting regularly, of-<lb />times stopping to talk, and always<lb />leaving flowers. She had taken es-<lb /><lb />Fri<lb /><lb />"_<lb /><lb />sulors ward and though he was rough<lb />and coarse looking, his eyes were<lb />lnight and. iatelligent and when she<lb />would leave him flowers, he would<lb />thank her and there was such a wist.<lb /><lb />the only plave toT<lb />oIf you ate not, you prmer*<lb /><lb />8 will a else.<lb />pare Our prices wit rhode<lb /><lb />Li \I ae Yoal<lb />when the apring comes, and the roses<lb /><lb />ful look as if he wanted to say more.<lb />One day EllenT asked lim. his | rame<lb />aml where he was. from, he told her<lb />it, | and seemed t6' appreciate her talking<lb />to him, but he was very seriously in-<lb />jured and could not talk much at a time<lb />but'this day he was to tell her of his<lb />life. We will listen, them.<lb /><lb />oNow Jack donTt think about think<lb />ing me, Lam glad tocome to se you,<lb />are you able to talk totlay? if not I will<lb />Joome again. oOh, yes, I must talk or<lb />it will be too late, time is almost \<lb />it.� oYou are blue id,<lb /><lb />re will be much better, this<lb /><lb />9 4<lb /><lb />weather is bad for the sick.�' oIt is<lb />not the weather, .Miss Ellen, I feel it<lb />here, otouching his heart-� ~Try not, to<lb />think about your sickness, but tell me<lb />of your life.� oI hate to tell one so<lb />wicked life.<lb />lam not fit even. to touch ~ your gar-<lb />ment, but you sang to me that *Christ<lb /><lb />good as you, of my sinful,<lb /><lb />reeeiveth sinful men,T then even I can<lb />be received, it is too good to be true.

One day I went<lb />home~and found her very ill, she said<lb />she was going to die, she told me to be<lb />a good boy, and never drink, and God<lb />would take care of me. I cried and said<lb />I would hate God if he took her from<lb />me. She could not talk much, but would<lb />press my hand, Ob, how it all comes<lb />back to me now, how I thank God for<lb />taking her to heaven. She died that<lb />night and I was left alone,<lb />fatherless. In a few days I heard of a<lb />ship going to Europe, and wanted some<lb /><lb />worse than<lb /><lb />boys to go.<lb />asked to be taken, aud was accepted.<lb />You have heard of a sailorTs: life, but<lb />you donTt know half the hardships and<lb />the wickedness.

Ellen tenderly fixed<lb />the rosebud in his hand and left him to<lb />others. Those who.looked at him said<lb />poor fellow, he is dead, he had a hard<lb />time of it. Was it death? Yes to sin<lb /><lb />Jand suffering, but to the soul a new Jife<lb /><lb />had begun, which death is only the<lb />gate through which we must pass.<lb />he could now speak to us, | am sure<lb />we would hear him say, oO death where<lb />is. thy sting?

Mr. Cleveland gives<lb />his views and does not straddle any<lb />_ question. One can bot admire the<lb />~manhood he has to express himself<lb />clearly upon every issue, We will<lb />opublish from day to day some extracts<lb />from the ~mesgage bearing upon the<lb />questions in which our people are most<lb />interested. To-day we give his  intro-<lb />duetory remarks upon the _ financial<lb />question and what he says about the<lb />rétirment of greenbacks :<lb />THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.<lb /><lb />The compulsory purchase and coin-<lb />age of silver by the gov ernment, un-<lb />ehecked and bhireirulated by business<lb />conditions and heedless of our curren:<lb />cy needs, which for more than_ fifteen<lb />years diluted our cirenlating medium,<lb />undermined confidence abroad in our<lb />financial ability, and at last culminat,<lb /><lb />"ed in cistress'and panic at home, has<lb />been'recently stopped by the repeal of<lb />the laws which forced this reckless<lb />scheme upon the country. The things<lb />thus accomplished, notwithstanding<lb /><lb />~ their extreme importance and_ benefi-<lb />cient effects, fall far short of curing the<lb />monetary evils from which we suffer<lb />as a result of long indulgence in ill ad-<lb />vised financial experiments, _<lb /><lb />The currency denominaiedT. United<lb />States notes and commonly known as<lb /><lb />- greenbacks was issued in large volume<lb />during the late civil war, and was in-<lb />tended originally to meet the exigen-<lb /><lb />- cies of that period. It will be seen by<lb />a reference to the debates in Congress.<lb />at the time the laws were passed au<lb />thorizingT the issue of these notes that,<lb />_ their advocates declared they were in-<lb />tended for only temporary use and. to.<lb />meet the emergency of war, In most.<lb />all of the laws relating to them: some}<lb />provision was made contemplating their<lb />voluntary or compulsory retirement. A<lb />_, large quantity of them, however, were<lb />kept on foot and mingled with the cur<lb />feney of the country, so that at: the<lb />¢ of the year 1874 they amountedT<lb />$381,999,073.  *<lb /><lb />i!

One of the<lb />stories she tells her grandchildren<lb />is how their grandunole Kit came to<lb />be a great hunter and scout. He<lb />was such a bright boy that it was<lb />intended to make a lawyer of him,<lb />but this plan was frustrated by the<lb />early tragic death of his father.T<lb />Poor Kit was then apprenticed to a<lb />tanner. He objected to this heart.<lb />ily, and begged-to accompany his<lb />brothers to the far west. But, as he<lb />was only 15, they re refused to take.<lb />him.<lb /><lb />Kit had a will of his own, how-<lb />ever, and after they had started he<lb />got hold of a mule and caught up<lb />with them at Independence, Mo.<lb />That settled it, and Kit went west.<lb />The brothers did not return for 15<lb />years, and Mrs, Ruby saw Kit only<lb />twice after~the day he galloped off<lb />on his mule.

Not<lb />only does the great age of the old<lb />house make it interesting to visit-<lb />ors, but also the story that the body<lb /><lb />of the late lamented Captain Kidd,<lb /><lb />hose treasure is buried somewhere<lb />a the coast and has been search-<lb />gd for from. Florida to Maine, lies<lb />uneasy in its grave and makes peri-<lb />odica] visits to the house once occu-<lb />pied by that wealthy but somewhat<lb />erratic gentleman.<lb /><lb />The house is a two story structure,<lb />conspicuous chiefly for the fact that<lb />instead of having only a shingle<lb />roof, as was customary in the days<lb />when the house was built, it is con-<lb />structed altogether of shingles and<lb />presents the appearance of having<lb />been built with the idea to repel an<lb />attack should any such emergency<lb />occur. Theold men of Allenwood<lb />say that the house was built years<lb />before Washington assumed the<lb />office of president of the United<lb />States, and that one of the early set-<lb />tlers in that part of the country,<lb />Morris by name, cut each and every<lb />shingle by hand and with only the<lb />assistance given by a strong pocket<lb />knife.<lb /><lb />The house is at the junction of<lb />three roads, one leading to Allen.<lb />wood, one to Sea Girt and one to<lb />Brielle, another small town .four<lb />milesaway. A mile or two from<lb />the house the Manasquan river flows<lb />steadily on its tortuous route to<lb />mother ocean, and several times in<lb />the memory of the present inhabit-<lb />ants the banks of the river have<lb />been searched for relics of Captain<lb />Kidd, while many persons have<lb />gained permission from the farmers<lb />and armed with charts and maps<lb />have dug for miles around for tho<lb />missing buried treasure. Even now<lb />a party is hard at work on the Toms<lb />river, but ten miles from the house,<lb />diligently working on the old-claim<lb />and believing that each new day<lb />will see discoveries which will make<lb />work for the treasure hunters un-<lb />necessary in the future. And still<lb />the glittering prospect is held asa<lb /><lb />patience of one party of searchers<lb />gives out another is ready and wait-<lb />ing to take up the pick and shovel<lb />and keep up the good work.<lb /><lb />The old Morris house, as it is stil]<lb />called, is now on the Tilton farm,<lb />old Grandfather Tilton having pur.<lb />chased the farm fromn the Morrises<lb />many years ago. The farmhouse of<lb />the Tilton family is but a stone's<lb />throw from the old house, which is<lb />tenanted by several of the farm<lb /><lb />room in which it is alleged that<lb />KiddTs ghost walks is at the top of<lb />the house, and itis said that when<lb />traveling through that part of the<lb />country he would always stop at<lb />the Morris house, where he was sure<lb />of awelcome and a bed. I could<lb /><lb />that part of Monmouth county who<lb />would confess to having seen the<lb />ghost, but it is a fable which has<lb />been handed down from father to<lb />son that on stated occasions he<lb />would be heard moving about in his<lb />roum until early in the morning, as<lb />he was wont to do in the early days<lb />of the settling of New Jersey when<lb />visiting at the old house.<lb /><lb />The house was built with but few<lb />windows, and although several have<lb />been added recently there are only<lb />éight,,and two doors on the front,<lb />while the sides have one each. Cap-<lb />tain KiddTs room was undér the<lb />eaves of the roof, and only one win-<lb />dow furnished him with light and<lb />air when he slept in it, The window<lb />opened out on the rear of. the house,<lb />and it is said that even now on<lb />stormy nights the captainTs head is<lb />often thrust out, as though survey-<lb />ing the heavens and figuring upon<lb /><lb />bring forth."New York Herald,<lb /><lb />Bome years ago in Worcester,<lb />Mass., says The Gazette of that city,<lb />when Chinese laundries were a new<lb />thing,T a man went toa Chinese<lb />laundry with some shirts, and think-<lb />ing that he could only be understood<lb /><lb />ollows: ~Hello,<lb /><lb />versation as<lb /><lb />Jobn!
