Newspaper Page TextTwo Wajo KrarlaK Troable. It ww coM dismal evening in No vember, that two laborers might be neon wending tlieir way along the gtivet of a large manufacturing fowii. Slowly thev roecedeil, with deject ed MintMiaiMM, not exchanging a wonl until the one whom we shall call Smith, halted before a neat little house tmlatdied tbc gate. Then there was snch a look of utter misery and des pair gleaming trom his eyes tliat his companion murmured, " We must trust in God, Smith." The words were unheeded and his companion irased on, while Smith entered tlie house. A tall dark-eyed woman was nir ting about getting supper. Slie glatic d up a- lie entered, exclaiming: " Yon are late to-night." "Yes," he articulated gloomily, and coing to the cradle be took up tins six veeks old baby, and sorrowfully press ed it to his heart. " do wish you would put that child down and get ready for supper." exclaimed his wife, alter enduring his gloominess for some time. He slowly obeyed, and then seated himself at the table, with a deep sigh. "What in the world is the matter with yon to-night ?" she asked as he sat down opposite him. His voice trembled as be replied. "I suixse you might as well kuow it lirst as last. I nave been discharged." There!" exclaimed his wife, quick ly pushing back her chair. "Just what I might have expected! I'd like to know what we are going to do now. Wuitercomingonanuall. I declare. Smith, you wul torture me to death!" I am very sorry, Lydia, hut I can not help it." "Sorry! Noyou are not sorry at all. You would hist as leave see your wife and child starve aa not. It's nothing in tlie world but your poor manag ing" "Lydh, vou are cruel. Iustead of helping me to endure my trouble, winch is bearing me to the very earth, yon make it ten times harder for me to bear. I was not tlie only one dis charged. There was Jim Hawley, and ever so many others. Business is dull." She mimicked after him, "Always an excuse for a worthless man. To think tliat you should be discharged now, just as our rent is due ; and when we are out of wood ; and look at my shoes, won't you ? my feetalmoston the ground. I wish I had never married yon," and a dark look accompanied the last words. The poor husband now covered his tare with his hands and groaned aloud. This seemed to encourage the ife to go on, for she uttered words more and more bitter, until at but, almost in a state of frenzy, the wretched man rushed from the house to the tavern, and there sought to bury his tlioughts of the past and future in the rum cup. In toe meantime, James Hawley, his companion in labor, entered bis home with a very sad countenance. But before he had stepped over the threshold, a loving pair of arms were thrown around his neck, and a pah of sweet lips were pressed to his. He re turned the salutation sadly, and then inquired tor the baby. "She Is sleeping sweetly in lier cradle. She has been a perfect little darling all day. Supper Is waiting; so make haste. Here is warm water and a towel. Are you not later than usual UMilght?" "Yes Mary, and I bring bad news to you." Bad news !" she exclaimed turn ing pale as for the tirst time slie no ticed that something was wrong. "Yes; I was discliarged to-iiiglit, and I do not know as I can get any thing to do before Spring. Business is so dull," "Is that all ?" asked his wife wltha aisrh of relief. "I thought it was something terrible, tlie way you look ed." "And Is it not terrible enough ? What will become of us this winter, I am out of employment f" "The same God who feeds tlie spar rows clothes tlie lillies of the field will not let us suffer." God bless yon, Slary, there is sweet comfort In yonr words." "Awl now let us liave supper," ex claimed his wife, chcerfiilly. "See, I ha vc your favorite dish shortcake and toast. Do not let yonr troubles Im pair your appetite, and then after tea, we will talk It over. God doeth every thing for the best. And as our day, o shall our strength be." In tlie evening It was determined tliat the quarter's rent should be paid immediately, a new supply of coal olf- t sined and the remaining portion of the money be placed in the wile s lands to be dealt out as sparingly as possible. Tlien Mary mggeated that all Iter pretty parlor furniture should be put away iu the garret, and the front room let out. further than this they could lay uo plans, and a the hus band went ont to pay the rent, the future looked so dark to the young wife that she could not altogether re nt ruin her tears ; but seeking strength from on high, her face wore the same rheerftil amfle when her husband re turned, and little did he know that during all that long night, while he and Ids baby were soundly sleeping, his wife lay awake planning ont the future. Three months bare passed, with scarcely a day's work, in all that time, and now another quarter's rent is due. In vain the laborer thrusts Ids bands into his emntr pockets, and bi vain racks his brain for some solution of lie problem how that rent b to be paid. The lodger had pakl Ms money monthly; but then that was not enough to meet the sum, ev4h If be had It, and of course his wife had spent that as fast as she received It, and it was an every day wonder to lame, how Mary had managed their affairs so well. With feeling of great despair be en tered tlie bouse. Tlie table was spread with the same favorite dVh. The re was lbs abort cake and toast, flanked With a golden Uimp of butter, a plate of honey and a deep dish of roasted ap ples, to be served with sugar and cream, while at his wife's plate sat the storun Irs, tea-pot. As James took It In all at a glance, he greatly wonder ed at the frugal yet comfortable way of living. How his wife had been able to make tlie small amount of, monev last so long was a mystery to him, and vet he could not help wish ing hiwanfly tliat she had been more economical ; then, perhaps, the rent might have been pa hi and be felt tliat it would have been better to have nht.ited on one crust of bread rather than to be turned out of doors home less. He refused to sit at the table, plead ing that lie had no appetite. And a great tear arose hi tlie strong mail's eyes as he informed tlie wife that on the morrow they would be turned from their home, ' to go lie knew not where, us he had not a dollar in his pockets to secure tlieiu a room else- wJbfiT?! Is tliat It?" exclaimed his wife in a soft tone and tripped up stairs, and soon returned ami placed two ten dol lar hills in his hand. "Wlicre did vou tret them?" he asked eagerly turning them over Iu lus nanus as tnongli to ascertain u-hother tlim wore Pennine or not. "I earned tliem," replied his wife gaily. "1 knit atguaiis, siiawis, child ren 's hoods, sacques ami socks ; at first only for those whom I providen tially heard wislied articles of the kind; afterwards I was employ til to furnish a trimmed establishment with my work." "And kept it a sacret from me?" Yes, because 1 tl Knight yon would be worried for fear 1 was doing too much. I love to knit dearly, and I consider it more of a pleasant pas time than labor." "God be praised for giving me such a wife!" exclaimed her husband earn estly ; and pressing his wife and child closely to his bosom, lie said : " Her children arise up and call her blessed ; her husband also, and lie pniiseth her ; for many daughters have done virtu ously but limit cxecllest them all." Twenty years liave passed and James Hawley is a rich man. But Joseph Smith Is a confirmed drunkard, while Ills wife lias long since pissed from earth a victim of misery and want. Why will not wives assist tlieir hus bands to bear tlieir trials with helping hands and hearts ? 1 f they would but do this how many families would lie saved from ruin and how sweet would be their reward, not only on earth but hi Heaven. A Slight Mistake. An incident occurred one night last week on Jef ferson street, Louisville. Ky., which was quite interesting, at least, to one person concerned. A young and handsome clerk was quietly walking down the street, w lien suddenly a love ly young lady flashed across Ids path like a startleil sunbeam, a soft pair of arms were wreathed around his neck, a pretty face was thrust under his hat, and a plump pair of rosy lips printed a thrilling kiss fairly on his mouth. Tlie bashful vounz man "ien all over in streaks" for a moment, but recovered himself when tlie young lady drew back blushing and trembling. and timidly hiding Her lace witn lier hands begged to be excused for mis taking bun for an uncle. Think of that! An undo Indeed ! lint, not with standing the insinuation, the young cleric was under so many obligations to the lady for lier mistake tliat he ac cepted the apology and gallantly of fered to excuse her if she would repent the outrage. Slie couldn't see tlie ne cessity ot that however, and he saunt ered homeward to dream of soft-armed and rosy-lipped angels and their uncles. Modbixo as Owi.. Those who have resided iu the country will have owi sionlv seen an assembly of Jays, anil heard tlieir incessant screaming, ac companied by loud and angry vocif eration. A countryman will tell you tliat they are mobbing an owl, and such Is generally the case. A friend of ours while riiling in llic country, beard this screaming from a large as semblage of jays, and at the same time perceived tliat a man, wlw, laving picked up a stone, crept stealthily along the road for some distance. Our informant, thinking that this action of his hail some reference to tlie noise of the jays, although lie scarcely tliought it probable that tney would remain to he pelted, rode up and asked wliat he was about to do. "Oh," !ie said, "these jaysarc mobbing an owl." He was asked if be bad seen them. "No,' he replied, "but tliat is tlie noise tliey always make when so doing;" then, pointing in the direction whence tlie cries proceeded.lie added, "I lay a bet the owl 13 In tliat old crab-tree. I was picking up the stone to knock him down." Tlie curiosity of our in formant was excited, and, opening a Sic, be rode close to a tree, whence jays had already flown, and there sat the owl, which allowed the tree to be shaken violently before It took flight Alexis as a Dancer. The Xew York Kxprt thus sketdies tlie young Russian Grand Duke at the grand ball in his honor In tliat city : The Prince at the ball slouched around as independantly as a Western er In a steamboat cabin. Tlie Im pression was that lie liad a revolver or two in his belt and was satisfied to clear out tlie whole concern if lie re quired. He danced pretty much as a Westerner would dance, going through the figures with a looseness very re fresh rng.and at times mixing up his partners most bewilder! ugly m Its sub tle mazes. In tlie pauses, when more (date and courtly Princes would have simpered at their partners, lie drew in a huge breath through bis royal ex- Ense of long and carelessly fondled i growing moustache. The question, "Does getting drunk ever advance one's happiness?" would seem to be put at rest by the Irishman who went courting when drunk, and was asked what pleasure be found In whisky f "Oh, Biddy, it's a trate en tirely to see two of your purty laces instead of one!" The manner of giving shows the character of the giver more than, tlw gift itself.-Jferdfer, A friend tells an anecdote of Booth, the great tragedian, which we do not recollect having seen in print, it occurred In the palmy days of his lame, before tlie sparkle of his great mind had been dimmed by tliat bane of genius, strong drink. Booth ami several friends had been invited to dine with an old gentleman. In Baltimore, of distinguished kind ness, urbanity, and piety. Tlie host, though disapproving or theatres flml theatre-going, had heard so much of Booth's remarkable powers tliat curiosity to sec tlie man had hi this in-tam e overcome all his scruples and prejudices. After the entertainment was over, lamps lighted, and the company re seated In the drawingroom, some one requested Booth as a particular favor, and one which all present would doubtless appreciate, to rend aloud the Lord's prayer. Booth expressed his willingness to afford them this gratifi cation, and all eyes were turned ex pectantly upon him. Booth rose slowly and reverently from his clmlr. It was wonderful to watch the play of emotions that convulsed his coun tenance. He became deadly pale, and his eyes, turned tremblingly upward. were wet witn tears, as yet lie had not spoken. The silence could be felt. It became absolutely painful, un til at last the spell was broken, as if by :ui electric shock, as his rich-toned voice, from white lips sy tabled forth "Our Fallier. who art In Heaven," etc., with pathos aikl solemnity that thrilled all hearers. He finished. The silence continued. Not a voice was heard or a muscle moved ill his rapt audience until, from a remote corner of the room, a subdued voice was hea id and the old gentleman, tlieir host, stepped forward with streaming eyes and tottering frame, and seised Booth by tlie band. "Sir," said ke. in broken accents, "you liave afforded me a pleasure tor which my whole future me will feel grateful. I am an oki man, and everyday, from my boy hood to the present time, I tlmugH I had repeated the 1-ord's Prayer, but 1 1 liave never heard it before sw."" "You are right," replied Booth. "To read that prayer as it should se read lias cost me the severest study and labor for thirty years and I alii far from being satisfied with my ren dering of that production. Hardly one person iu ten thousand compre hends how much beauty, tenderness, awl grandeur can be condensed la a space so small and in words so simple. That prayer of itself sufficiently illus trates tlie truth of the Bible, aid stamps upon it the seal of Divinity.'' "So great was tlie effect produce," says our informant, who was presehr, "that the conversation was sti-talied but a short time longer in subdued monosvlables, and then almost n- tirely ceased, and soon after, at tin early hour, tlie company broke up. and retired to tlieir several homes with flill hearts." Origin ok Domeslh: Wnrra. WHle Noah was planting his vineyard the devil came to him and said, "What are vou doiiitr here?" Phintiiwf a vineyard," replied Xoah. "What Is i tlie use of a vineyard?" inquired Ibe devil. Said Xoah. "its fruit whether fresh or dry (grapes or rals- i ens), is sweet aiid good ; and its wines giauden the heart." "Let us work it on shares" says the devil. "Agreed," j said Xoah. Xow wliat does tlie devil ? He brings ! a lamt), a lion, a hog and a monkey, j sacrifices them and mingles the blood with the oil. Therefore, if a man only eats of the! frnit of the vineyard he is a nice and j innocent as a lamb; if he drink trine. I lie thinks lie is a lion when lie is not, 1 and falls Into mischief: If he drinks ! habitually, lie becomes as selfish as a ' bog; if be gets drnnk, be jabbers and jumps about, and is as silly and nasty as a monkey. So salth tlie Talmud, and tlie wit of tlie Talmud is the wisdom of Gal ut tered through the experience of man concerning pure wines domestic wines. The Atfrunrr. The Victims of Alcohol. If a railway accident or a coal-pit catasl ra phe occur, by which a hundred per sons are hurled intoeternity. the quiek-ly-wlred intelligence soon knells hor ror through the land. Expressions of sympathy are heard on every side. Public sentiment at once demands that a 'legal investigation shall trace the causes which led to the calamity. Oh, what grief, wliat horror, what indig nation slioiild course through the soul of ever lover of his country and of his kind at tbeappalling tact, tliat ever)' year sixty thousand of cm- country men and countrywomen are slain by intoxicating drinks ! that, directly or indirectly, more than a thousand a week arc sacrificed at tlie shrine of tlie modem murderous Moloch Alcohol. Strength of Arretm: Earlv Created. One of tlie first literary men of the United States said to tlie writer, after speaking on the subject of temperance. "There Is one thing which, as you visit different pWs, I wish yon to do every wliere ; that is, to entreat every mother never to give a drop of strong drink to a child. 1 have had to fight as for my life all my tlays to keep from dying a drunkard, be cause I was fetl with spirit when a child. 1 acquired a taste for it. My brother, poor fellow ! died a drunkard. I would not luue a child of mine take a drop of it for anything. Warn every mother, whenever you go, never to give a drop of it ti a child." 1'tnmg Barnum tlie great showman says : After loosing a million dollars by nre miki miring on a competency, 1 found after four years' trial tliat my energies would not abate, and that I still needed to engage in those activi ties which have characterized more than forty years of my busy lite Id other words that I lad better "wear out than rust ont," Pufxp Oct. There are peculiar ways in men which discover what they are through the most subtle feints ami close disguises. Jimijere. Dr. J. B. Yonntr i'coloredl. to a mn. dklate for Mayor of Knox vlllc. laborious habits ok the sew tork millionaires. The New York correspondent of tlie Troy Time says : Having referred to Industry as the chief necessity to sweeten existence, let me add something upon tlie laborious habits of our leading busi ness men. Many young men looked forward to the time when tliey sliall be released from labor, and tliey liave a notion tliat the rich men of the dt v lead wliat is called an "easy life." This idea i very erroneous. Our success ful men not only liave lieen but con tinue to lie hard workers. It is true there are jicrsnns who liave inherited wealth, and therefore yield themselves to indolence and dissipation, but tlieir experiences quickly prove the truth of the old saying, that tlie fool awl his money are soon parted. Our rich business men work because liablt lias heroine second iwture, and tliey would be miserable if tliey idled. We have no rich drones for a drone would never become rich. Let us look at tlie In dustry of a few of our self-made men. Here is . MOSES TAYLOR, who Is about three score and ten, and is estimated at five millions. Surely such a man, one might say, ought to rest. Solar from this, however, lie Is almost as busy as ever. He was no ticed as an active dealer and faMght cd merchant, and shire he retired from trade lie las enough to do in tlie vast field of finance. Mr. Taylor Is Presi dent of the City' Bank, which is one of tlie heaviest of onr Wall street Institu tions. He would be extremely mis erable if he did not visit tliat bank even' day, awl spend an hour hi over looking its operations hi a maimer which some men would call laborious. After this is done one may meet in the Wall street crowd, tint form, little and erect, awl tliat penetrating countenance, which seems as much on the alert as when lie was a jioor clerk. Four o'clock finds him at his home, with a racked brain and wear' body, but a fine dinner restores his tone, awl after an hour of social talk and a drive to tlie Park, lie retires to his private office awl enters into a deep and vexations calculation which con tinues until bed time. Do you in quire what can it be which thus drives a rich man so intensely ? I reply, he has a large number of vacant lots which should be covered with houses, and tlie architect's plans awl the buil der's contracts are to be examined. He lias shares in banks. In gas com panies, awl iu other stocks, all of which must lie looked after. And if he docs not finish his work as rapidly as each day brings it before him. it would soon accumulate iu a very burdensome manner. Such, then, is the life of a five million nun. THE COMMODORE. He has worked liard more than sixty years. Of kite he lias aim ted the intensity of his application, but still labors from five to six hours a day in a very close manner. He has jUst completed the greatest railway depot 1 for travelers In this city, and this is a mate to the great freight depot in St. John's Park. The Commodore must work to save himself from sheer mis cry. Idleness would lie to him tlie greatest of misfortunes. He is also ! determined that his children sliall be ! working men. The largest part of bis j property will come Into their lands and lie knows that it Is only indus-1 t nous habits that can keep them In I possession. To snch a man as tlie 1 Commodore the Idea of retirement is repulsive. Activity is his life, and business Is an clasiiim. Each day brines its excitements, either of loss or of gain, and at its close lie feels the pleasure resulting from exercise of the faculties both of body and mind. STEWART. It is well known that this man is a marvel of industry. Like Yauder bilt, he is about seventy-five, but be looks much younger than tlie former. Vanderbilt may have felt tlie linpell ing consciousness of a family to sliarp cu application, but Stewart las "neither chick nor child." He works In simple obedience to his nature, which demands it. Stewart and Van derbilt are the great exponents of two departments of business tlie one being a merchant prince awl the other a rail way king. I do not know that, they have ever met, and the greatness of this city Is shown by containing two such men without collision of Interests. It is the opinion ot good judges of enanuter, tliat 11 Stewart nail been bred to military life lie would lave been the greatest general of tlie age. What would not have been accom plished by such method and such in dustry ? Having readied oki age, and with a property estimated at from thirty to forty millions, be must still do his day's work. A Fixe Poetic Trioroirr Long fellow in his "Divine Tragedy," found ed upon tlie life ami death of Christ, portrays the feelings of Judas after tlie betrayal, as follows: "Too late ! too late J I Jail not see him more Among die living. That sweet patient fitce Will nevermore rebuke me, nor those lips Repeat the words: One of you shall betray me !' It stung me Into madness. How I lov ed, Yet hated him! But in the other world, I will be there before him, and will wait Until he comes, and foil down on my knees And kiss his feet, Imploring pardon, pardon!" 6 Those who have finished by making all others thbik with them, have usu ally been those who began by daring to think with themselves.
