thi: old aktma.v
I have a mind to tell a little story.
That it is brief may be seen at a
glance, and that It U true I most emphatic-ally
avow. If tlie reader de
spises it because of the first, or tlie ed
itor rejects it for tlx; reason of the hist,
thru I will eschew truth in the future,
and devote myself into tlie elalioration
of lies into capters, and the purest lie
llottt into volumes of seventeen lmu
drcd pages eaeli.
With this understanding I proceed
nt once to remark that live years ago.
or thereabouts, .Mm Ainsley or
"Pap Ainsley," as he was familiarly
calkd was the owner of a hand-cart,
and earned a living by conveying mis
cellaneous parcels from our section to
anotlier, and received therefor the rea
sonable remuneration of tifty cents
per load.
To designate the occupation in the
(.rosiest manner xKdbIe. he was a
hand-cart-man. anil when not employ -ed,
could always he found (hiring
working hours at the corner of Mont
gomery and California. His hair and
long beard wen; )iiite gray, and his
limbs feeble ; and if he eonld not
shove, as heavy a Io:ul through the
deep sand, or up the steep grade above
htm, as the stalwart Teuton on the
opposite corner, thereby losing many
n dollar, all the light load in the
neightiorliood fell to his lot, and kind
hearted men not uufreqnently traveled
a square or two out of their way to
give on easy Job to "Pap Ainsley."
Four years last September (I reco! j
lect the month, for I had a note of
four thousand dollar- to pay, and was
compelled to do some pretty sharp fi
ninciering to pay it . having two or
three dozen volumes of books to trans-
ter to my lodgings, I gave "rap Alns-.
ley" the' task of Transportation. i
Arriving at my room just as he de
posited the last armful on the table,
and observing that the old man looked
considerably fiitigned, after cliinbtiig
ihree flights of stairs rive or six time-.
I invited him to take glass of bran- J
dy, a bottle of which 1 usually kept in
uiy room (or medicinal soporific pur
poses. Although grateful for the in-1
vltatlou, lie politely declined. I urg
ed, but he was Inflexible. I was
greatly astonished.
"fjoyoil never drink?" said I.
Very seldom," he ivplieil. dnnv
ping into a chair at my request, and
wiping the perspiration off hi- fore-1
head.
-Well, if you drink at all." I an- '
swercd "you will not find in tlie next
-ix months so fair an excuse for In-1
. bilging, lor yon seem fatigued, and
scarcely able to stand."
"To be frank." tid the old man,
I do not drink any now. I have not
lasted Intoxicating liquor for fifteen ;
yen rs since si i ice ' '
"Since wlien?"' laskeil.thouffhtleisly
observing his hesitation.
'flic old man told me tliat sixteen
years ago he was a well-to do farmer
near Svracuse, N. Y. He had but one
child, a daughter. While attending a
boarding-school in tluit city, the gut
I lieu but sixteen years of age, formed
an nttnehmeut for a young physician.
Acquainting her father with the cir
cumstances, he flatly refused his con-1
sent to her union with a man he had I
never seen, and removing lier from j
-chool dispatched a note to the yoiuia
gallant, with tlie somewhat pointed
information that his presence in tlie
neighborhood of the Aainsley farm i
would not meet with favor.
The reader, of course, surmises the
result, for such a proceeding could and
can have but one result. In less than !
a month there was an elopement. !
The Duller loaded his double-barreled i
-liot-gun and swore vengeance ; hut I
tailing to find the fugitives, lie took to i
the bottle. Ills good wife told him
not to despair, but lie drank the deep
er, and accused her of encouraging the
elopement.
In three months the wife died, and
at the expiration of a year the young
couple returned to Syracuse from Con
necticut, where they aseertalaed tliat
the old man after the death of Ids
wife, of which he had of course lieen
apprised, liad sold his farm, srpmnder
i il the proceeds, and was almost desti
tute, teaming of their arrival, Ains
ley drank himself into a frenzy, and
proceeded to the hotel where they
.ere stopping, attacked the husband,
wounded him in the arm with a pistol
-hot. and then attempted the life of
his daughter, who happily escaped tui
iinr.il thnui'di the intervention of
ivnmtM hront-ht to the soot bv the re-1
port of the pi-t d. Ainsley was ar
rested, tried, ami acquitted on the plea
of insanity. The daughter and lius
ttfliid returned to Connecticut, since
which time tlie lather liad not heard
from tliem. He was sent to a lunatic
asylum, from w hich lie w as dismissed
after remaining six months. In 1851
he came to California. He followed
milling f r two years, hut finding his
-trength unequal to tlie pursuit, re
mrned to this city, purchased a hand
cart, and tlie rest ij known.
Since then," concluded the old
mail. Iwwing his face in agony, "I
have not tasted liquor, nor liave f seen
my child."
i regretted tliat I liad been so in
quisitive, and expressed to the sufferer
i lie sympathy I really felt for him.
Alter that I seldom passed tlie comer
without looking for "Pap Ainsley,"
and never saw him but to think of tlie
sad story lie had told me.
( ine chilly, drizzling day in tlie De
cember following, a gentleman having
purchased a small marble-top table at
an auction room ojmositc, proffered tlie
old man the job of conveying it to Ids
residence on Stockton street. Not
wishing to accompany (lie carrier, lie
selected the face givitig the best assur
ance of tlie delivery of lie purchase.
Furnished with tlie number of the
house, tlie old cartman. after a pretty
Irving struggle with the steep ascent
ofCaHfonda street, readied Ids desti
nation, ami deposited the table in tlie
liall. Liugerlng a moment, tlie lady
did not seem to surmise tlie reason,
until lie politely informed her tliat Iter
husband (for such he took him to be)
liad, probably by accident, neglected
to settle for the cartage. s
"Very well, I will pay you," said
the lady, stepping Into an adjoining
room. She returned, and stated tliat

gold piece. He could not make Hie

et, with iustnictioiis to see If she
could get it changed at one of the
stores, or in some of the markets in
(lie neighborhood.
"Step into the parlor until the girl
returns ; tlie air is chilly, and you
must lie cold," continued the lady,
very kindly. "Come," she added, as
he looked at his rough attire, and hes
itated, "tlicre is a good tire in tlie
grate, and no one there but the chil
dren." "It is somewhat chilly," replied the
old man, following her into the par
lor, ami taking a -eat near the tire
Perhaps I may tlntl some silver in
the house, saiil the lailv, leaving tin
room, for I fear Bridget Will not suc
ceed in gelling the twenty dollar pieee

"Come here, little one. said the old
man, coaxlugly to the younger of the
two children, a girl of about six years
of age, "come, I love 1 lit if children :
; and the child, who had been watching
! him with curiosity from behind a
large armchair, hesitatingly approach-
: cd.'
i "What is your name, dear?" in
j quired the cartman.
"Maria," lisped the little one.
"Maria:'" he repeated, with the
great tears gathering in his eyes. "J
once had a little girl named Maria,
and you look very much as she did."
"Di.l you!-" inquired the child with
interest; "and was her name Maria
Eastman, too:-"
"Merciful Cod !" exclaimed the old
man. starling from Ids chair, and
again dropping Into It, with his head
bowed Upon his breast. "This cannot
belaud yet why not:-" He caught
Ihe child up In his arms with an eag
erness that frl
hteiicd, and gazed Into
her face until lie saw conviction. "I
cannot meet her without betraying
myself, and I dare not tell her I am
that drunken father w ho once attempt
ed to take her life, and perhaps left
her father a cripple." lie groaned as
lie hurried towards the dour.
The little ones were bewildered,
"You are not going;-" said the
mother, at that time reappearing, and
discovering the old man in tlie act of
passing into the hall.
lie stopped and partly turned his
lace, but seemed to lack the resolution
to do aught else.
"He said he had a little M ria once,
that looked just like me, mother!"
shouted the child, her eyes Spflrklillg
with delight.
The knees of the old cartman trem
bled, and he leaned against tlie door
for support. The lady sprang to
wards him, and taking liim by the
arm, attempted to conduct him to a
chair.
"Xo, no!" he exclaimed, "not un
til you tell me I am forgiven."
"Forgiven!1 for what?"' replied the
mother in alarm.
"Recognize in me your wretched
father, and I need not tell you!" he
faltered.
"My poor Cither!" she cried throw
ing her arms about Ins neck "all is
forgiven all is forgotten!"
All was forgiven, and tlie husband.
When be returned late in the after
noon, was scarcely less rejoiced than
Ids good wife at the ulscovery.
1 bether Bridget succeeded in
changing the double eagle, I never
learned : but this I do know it took
the honest female all ot two lliontlis
to unravel the kimt Into which the do
mestic affairs of the family bad tied
themselves during her aliser.ee.
"Pap Ainsley" still keeps his cart,
for money would not induce him to
jiart with it. I peeped Into the back
yard of Dr. Eastman one day last
week, and discovered the old man
dragging the favorite vehicle round
the enclosure, with ids four grand
children piled promiscuously into it.
A TnofsAXD Domus Saved. It

"I'll lay a wager." said a wag, "I

The wager was accepted, and the
wag went the next day to the rich
man's house, about the time he was to
dine, and fold the servant he must
gpeak with his master immediately,
for lie could save him a thousand dol

Out came the master.
"What is that sir? You can save me
a thousand dollars,"
"Yes, sir, I can ; hut I see you are

it from being entirely misconceived.
And there are many places where a
change of points completely alters the
sentiment. The following anecdote of
in English statesman, who once took
j advantage of this fact to free himself
from an embarrassing position, is uti
amusing illustration :
Having chjirged an officer of the
govenimeiit with dishonesty, he was
required, by Parliament, under a heavy
i penalty, publicly to retract the accusa
tion in the House of Commons. At
the appointed time he appeared with
a written recantation, W'olcll he read
about as follows : I -aid he wasdis-
l honest, it is true: and I am sorry for
It," This was satisfactory ; but wliat
was the surprise j)f Parllameiit, the
following day. to see the retraction
prititc in the papers thus: "I slid
lie was dishonest : it is tine, and I am
sorry for it." By a simple transposi
tion of the comma and semicolon, the
ingenious slanderer rODrespilted hiin-
self to the cmnU'v, not onlv as having
lllttiie no recantation, hut even IH Hav
ing reiterated the charge In the very
face of Parliament.

ticed on Ihetn by parents;- A doctor,
w ho hail been called to visit a sick hoy
some twelve years old. was told by
the mother, as he entered the house,
that she could not gel her hoy to lake
any medicine unless -he deceived him:
to which the doctor replied that he
was ycry sick, and must lake some
medicine, which would taste badly
and make him feel badly for a little
w hile, and then it would make him
feel better, lie prepared tlie medi
cine, and the hoy took it like a man,
without any resistance; and he would
take from his mother anything that
the physician had per;crihed, hut
would take nothing else trom her.
She had so olten deceived him and
told him it was good when she gave
him medicine, that he would no! trust
to anything that she said. Honesty
with children as well as with all oth
ers, and In all circumstances, is the
best policy. A mother's feelings un
der such circumstances must he any
thing but enviable, and this incident
should teach them to never lie to their
children.

my nights. " Artemus invited me to , vUh "
share his lx-d fur the remainder ol
' the night, and I accepted.
1 Adjoining the room lodged a
young professor of elocution, who
' was endeavoring to establish a
school in Cleveland. He was just
starting out in business, and was
naturally anxious to propitiate the
press.
I "Let's get the professor up," said
I Artemus, "and have him recite to : i
1 us."
' I remonstrated with him, remind-
ed him ol the lateness of the hour;
that I wasn't acquainted with the
professor, and all tliat; but to no
purpose.
"tie isa piiMieniau," said Ward,
"and public men are glad to meet
members of the press, as restaurants
are supposed to get up warm meals, :
at all hours."
lie gave a thundering lom
on the door as he shouted :
rap
'Tiv.tesfoi-1-r!"
' Who's there? What yor want !"
cried a muffled voiee, evidently from
beneath the bed-clothes, for it was
a bitter coM night in February.
"It is Brown of the Phtbr ,
tkaler" said Artemus, and nudg
ing me gently in the ribs, he whis-1
peivd : ' "That'll fetch him. 'J he
power the press is invincible. It is
the Archimedean lever which " j
His remarks were interrupted by j
the opening of tlie dour, and I could
just discover the outline of a shirted
form shivering in the doorway.
"Excuse mo for disturbing you,
professor," said Arteinus, in his
blandest manner, "bnt 1 am anx
ious to indrodnce my friend here, 1
the new "local" of the Demoemt.
He has hoard much ot you, and de
clares posqively that he can't go to !
sleep until lie hears you elocute."
"Hear me what ':" asked the
professor, between his chattering
teeth.
"Hears you elocute recite do-
claim understand
your elocution."
In vain did the
specimen
of
professor juead
tlie lateness of the hour, and hut. ill'
had gone out, Artemus would ac
cept no excuse.
"Not at all necessary. Elo

lie gave us "Casabianca" with a
good many quavers of the voice, as
he stood quaking, in a single shirt,
white garment ; and then followed :
"On Linden, when the sun was
low," "Sword of Hunker Hill," etc.,
"by particular request of our friend,"
as Artemus said, although I was
too nearly suffocated with suppress
ed laughter to make even a last dy
ing request had it been necessary.
It was too ludicrous to depict
tlie professor, an indistinct white
object, standing on the chair, "elo-1
