; INTELLECT IN RAGS.
It was a bleak wintry day. Heavy
unow tlrifts lay ilet uj in tho Btrt't'tH
of New 'York, ami tho whole appear
ance of the city was cold and dismal.
.Seated upon tho steps of one of tho
largo dwellings on Filth Avenue, was
aboy apparently thirteen years of age.
llo was literally clothed in rags, and
his hands were blue, and his teeth
chattered with cold. Lying upon his
knees was a newspaper (to had picked
tip in one ot tho streets, and he was
trying to read tho words upon it. lie
had thus occupied himself for some
time, when two little girls, clad iu
silks and furs, came toward him.
Tho eldest was about twelve years
of age, and so beautiful that the poor
boy raised his eyes aud fixed them
upon her in undisguised admiration.
Tho child of Wealth stopped before
him and turning to her companion,
exclaimed ; . ti. i't , 'r
"ilariam, just see this fellow on my
steps! Boy, M'hat aro. you doing
here?'' . :
: "I am trying to learn to read upon
this little strip of paper," answered
tho boy.
Tho girl laughed derisively, and
said:
''Well, truly, I have heard of intel
lect in rags, and hero it is personified."
Mariam's soil blue eyes tilled with
tears as site replied :
f't h, Lt u'ne, doa't talk so, you know
ttiat ijss t aunio teaches us at school:
'The rich and the poor meet together,
and tho Lord is maker of them all.' "
Jouise laughed again, and said to
the boy: "Get up ironi here; you
shall not sit on my steps, you are too
ragged and dirty. , ,
Tho boy arose, and a blush crim
soned his fuce. llo was walking
away, wheu JMariam said :
"Don't go, little boy, you are so
cold; come to my house ami get
warm. Oh, do come," she continued,
as ho hesitated ; and he followed her
into a large kitchen, where a bright
warm lire was bhedding its genial
warmth around.
"Well, Miss Mariam, and who aro
yon bringing here now ?' asked the
servant woman.
"A poor boy, who lias almost
ihed ; you will let him warm,
jr
will you not, Kaclnlrn
"Oh, he frliall be warmed sit here,
little boy," and she pushed a chair in
front of the stove, and then gave him
a piece of bread and meat.
.Mariam watched these arrange
ments, and then glided from the
room ; when she returned she had a
primer, with the first rudiments of
reading and spelling. Going to the
boy, slie said :
"Little boy, here is a book that you
can learn to read from bc-ttf r than a
piece ot paper. Do you know your
letters V
"Some of them,
never had anybody
just learned myself,
to read so badly."
Mariam sat down
bean teaching him
but not all. I
to teach me. J
1'ut o!i, I want
beside him, and
his letters. She
was so busily engaged
that she did not see her
in this work
mother enter
the room, nor bear Kaclul explain
about the boy, nor did she know that
her mother stood some time behind
them listening to her noble child
teaching the beggar boy his letters.
There were but a few that he had
not already learned himxclf, and it
was not long before Mariam h:id the
satisfaction of hearing htm repeat the
alphabet.
When he arose to go ho thanked
Kachcl for her kindness and offered
Mariam her book.
"No, I don't want it I have given
it to you to learn to read from. Won't
you tell me your name f .
"Jimmie," he replied.
"I will not forget you, Jimmy yon
must always remember Mariam Hayes,
won't you P. was the little girl's fare
well. .Louise Gardner and Mariam. Hayes
were playmates and friends.- . Their
dwellings joined, and almost every
hour ot the day they were together,
for they attended the same school.
These two children were differently
dispositioned and brought up L-oui
was proud and haughty. , Joverty
jouise
in
her eyes was a disgrace and crime,
and she thought nothing too severe
for the poor to suffer. .. These views
she learned from her mother.,; Mrs.
Gardner moved in one exclusive circle
the bon t on of New York. With
out its precincts she never ventured,
except to visit her mother's friends
and was growing up believing herself
even better than they.
The teaching that Mariam .Hayes
received was totally different from
this. Mrs. Gardner was acknowl
edged as one of her particular friends:
yet, though she moved in that circle
she was liir from being one of them.
Her doctrine was the text her girl had
used the rich and the poor meet to
gether, and the Lord is Maker of them
all. Ihis she taught Mariam. J. here
was no distinction in wealth or posi
tion: that tlie distinction was in
worth alone." She taught her to rev
erence ace, and to pity the poor and
destitute; and that pleasant ' words
were as sweet as honeycomb, sweet to
the soul a little kindness was better
than money. Mariam learned the les
son well, and was ever ready to dis
pense her gentle words to? all, whether
they were wealthy and influential, or
ragged and indigent, as tne ooy sne
had that morning befriended. '. ' "
Jr A gay and brilliant throng was as
sembled in Washington. ! Congress
was in session and the hotels were
crowded with strangers. It was ah
evening party ' The brilliantly lighted
rooms were , filled with youth and
beauty. . .
' Standing near one -of the doors
were two young ladies, busily .en
gaged conversing together. ' The
elder of the two suddenly exclaimed
"Oh, Mariam, have you seen the
new member from W. ?" ' ;
"No, but I have heard a great deal
about him." ' i ;
"Ob, I want to see . him so badly
Mrs. N. is going to introduce him to
us. : 1 wish she would make haste, 1
have no patience."
"Don t sneak so, Louise. ,1 wisli

not 1
t
10 so
trilling,"
said
A singular smile played around tho
mouth of a tail, handsome man who
was standing near the girls; and as he
passed them he scannod them very
closely. ' :
In a short time Mrs. X. came up
with Mr. Hamilton, tho new member,
and presented him to Miss Gardner
and Miss Hayes. As they were con
versing together, Mr. Humilton said:
'"Ladies, wo have met before."
Both Mariam and Louise declared
their ignorance of tho fact.
"It lias been long years ago, yet I
have not forgotten it, nor a single
sentence uttered during that meeting.
I will quote one that may recall it to
your memory "The rich and the poor
meet together, aud tho Lord in Maker
of them all."
The rich blood tinged the cheeks of
Mariam, but Louise still declared her
self .ignorant as before. Mr. Hamil
ton gianccd a n o tient at Mariam, and
then turning to Luisu, ho said :
"Lt ng years ago, a little boy, rag
ged ami dirty, scaled himself on the
steps ot a statclv dwelling on Fifth
Avenue, New oik, and was busily
engaged in trying to read from a bit
of paper, when his attention was at
tracted by two girls richly dressed.
The eldest of thu two attracted him,
for she was a beautiful as an angel ;
but as they came near him she lilted
her hand and exclaimed :
. "Hoy, what are you doing here ?"
The boy answered that ho was try
ing to read. Tho child of itflluence
derided mm, and said sue Had heard
of intellect in rags, anil that he was
the very personification of it. Her
companion's answer was that 'Tho
rich and poor meet together, anil the
Lord is maker of, them all. lite
eldr girl drove the boy . away from
her steps, but the younger one took
him into her house, ami warmed and
fed him there. When they parted the
eirl said, 'you must not forget Mariam
Haves. And, .miss Hayes, he has
never forgotten. That ragged, dirty
bov is now before vou, ladies, as Mr.
Hamilton, the member of Congress:
aud allow me, Miss Gardner, to ten
der my thanks to you for your kind
treatment of that boy."
Overwhelmed with confusion, Lou
ise knew not what to say or do.
Iu pity tur her, 31 r. Hamilton arose,
and turning to Mariam, said :
"I will see you again, Miss Hayes,

where she daily met Mr. Hamilton,
and in a lew davs left for New York.
caving Mariam, 'with the conscious
ness oi having done nothing to be
ashamed of, and enjoying the society
of a distinguished Congressmtn.
Mariam and Mr. .Hamilton were
walking together ono evening, when
the latter drew from his bosom an old
and well-worn primer, and handed it
to Mariam.
"From this," ho said, "the man who
is so distinguished here hrst learned
to read. 1 o vou reeo-imze the lwok .
Mariam trembled and did not raise
her eves, when she saw the well re
membered book. Mr. Hamilton took
her hand and said :
"Mariam, Litnmie has never forgot
ten you. .Since the day you M ere so
kind to him, and gave him this book,
his life has been one great aim, and
that was to attain to greatness.
Wheu I left your house with this
book, I returned to my home ten
times happier, and went assiduously
to work to learn to. read. M v mother
was an invalid, and ere long I learned
to read to her.
'When my mother, died, I found
good friends, and was adopted by a
gentleman in ,W . As his son I
have been educated. A year ago he
died and left his property to me. Of
all the pleasant memories of my boy
hood, the one connected with you is
the dearest. 1 have kept this primer
next to my heart, and dwelt upon tho
hope of again meeting the, giver. itI
have met- her. . I see her all that my
imagination pictured, and ask if the
dear hand that gave this book cannot
be mine forever f" ..
Louise felt deeper grief than ever
when Mariam told her that she was to
become the bride of Mr. .Hamilton,
the poor boy whom she once spurned
from her door and derisively called
'intellect iu rags." But she learned a
severe lesson, and , ono that soon
changed the whole current of her life.
For a while she shunned Mr. Hamil
ton, but by persevering kindness he
made her feel easy in his presence,
and. she soon ; became, the , acknowl
edged friend of the Congressman and
his family. , . ' ,
Years have passed since then, nnl
Louise is training up 'a family' of little
ones; but she is teaching them not to
despise , 'intellect, in rars,' but to be
guided by Mariam's text "The rich
and the poor meet together, and the
the Lord is Maker of them all."
; .What the Telescope is Doing.
One of the largest telescopes in the
world, it is well known, is owned in
the Chicago University. Tbe distinct
work of this instrument is to make,

tories pf Kurope and America, an en
tirely new catalogue ot . two hundred

serving its position, astronomers may,
in far off ages, be able to - pronounce
authoritatively on its motion, and to
declare in what direction it haa pro
ceeded through the! illimitable space.
At this moment it is slowly and surely
performing its sublime work, and fur
nishing those far off astronomers , the
data upon which to base their calcula
tions respecting that mighty problem,
the direct motion pf the sun through
space. ' "v t ,. ',

"X oCai Bene"' (CoT'john V. ljt Clap"

Jhntiocrut the following romance of
the early days of Mississippi, u ro;
mancc in which tho eloquent, accom
plished nml fascinating Ani on Hurr,
played a conspicuous parti ' '"
TltK AUUEST 01' AAltOX ilt'KU
at tho mouth of Cole's Creek, by or
der of Cowlcs Mead, Acting Gover
nor of Mississippi Territory, and his
arraignment in tho old town of Wash
ington on the' charge of treason, the
self-possessed ability and tact ho ex
hibited, ami the favorable impression
he made on tho community, are well
remembered historoicat incidents.
Ho was discharged on giving bond
for Jii"appearanee, 'ami his principal
bondsman was Col. Jlcriah Osiiiuu, a
native of New Jersey, and the com
rade of liurr in the revolutionary war.
Ho was an old bachelor, of handsome
fortune, a high-toned Federalist in
politics, retained his military habits,
ami was held in great esteem. Col.
Ostium was one of tho most practical
and successful men in the Territory
was the Itrst who commenced to im
prove the breed ol our horses, and
was renown id lor his table and wines.
His beautitul estate extended to t lie
Half Way Hill. His lands, on his
death, were purchased by the late
Gen. I'randou, and were given to his
sons-in-law, Col. J. Smith ami Wil
liam Stanton, two of our most valued
citizens, now deceased. Here Col.
Hurr resided some weeks alter his
discharge, receiving the visits of in
fluential sympathizers, but passing his
afternoon in the woods. The Half
Way Hill, then clothed with majestic
trees, was his favorite resort. Iut its
refreshing shade and charming pros
pect were not the only attraction.
At that time, there lived,- near the
summit ot the In. I, m a little viuo
eovered cottage, a widow lady from
Virginia, whose small farm and two
or three slaves were the only remains
of a large f ortune. Her husband had
converted his property into money.
and on his way to this territory had
been robbed and murdered by the
XOTOKICS JOSEPH TlloK.VS H AUK,
a more blood-thirsty villain even than
the celebrated Mason. Mie had but
one child, Madeline, who must still
I remembered by a few of our older
citizens as a miracle of beaut v. In
form and features, in grace and mod
esty, she was all that the old masters
have pictured of the Divine Madonna,
or that artist ever dreamed of human
loveliness. Those that saw her loved
her, yet she was never . conscious of
the sentiment until she listened to
arou JIurr. The familv were Cath
olics, and there Colonel Uurr went to
meet, by appointment, ono of his nu
merous arents und- correspondents,
tho Ahho Viel, a Jesuit 1'riest of re
markable ability. He was born in
New Orleans iu . 1710, situated ftt
Paris and became a member of the
Congregation or the Oratory. At
the dissolution of that body bv the
French Government, he returned to
Louisiana and exercised the priestly
function in the parish of Attacknpas.
lie subsequent! v returned to France.
It is probable that Col. Uurr in his
projected invasion of Mexico, con
templated securin-' the . influence of
the religious orders, and for this pur
pose had ojtened a correspondence
with the Abbe, and "met him by ap-
appointment at this secluded place.
At length, after canvassmg ins situ
ation, Col. Oosman and six confiden
tial friends Col. Uurr determined to
forfeit his bond andnake his way to
l'ensacola. f ' c

At the besrininrr of the centurv the
Prince Itegent was the truest of the
gieatDuke of Bedford, at Newmarket.
One night, in company with many
gay and dissolute comrades the
rnnee repaired after dnner to tho
public gambling rooms, then not less
accessible to all comers than the Kur
saal of Hamburg or the conversazion-
hans of Haden-Baden is to-day.
lue 1'rince played Ions and deep
at tte fascinating game of hazard;
and not until the pure rays of morn
ing had for hours been streaming
through the sky-light above his head
did he rise from his seat, with a flush
ed cheek and an angry brow. Ac
cutdoucd to heavy losses, the Prince
had on this particular night been so
unmercifully "plucked that some
Hv'.si'icux or rovu plxx
flashed across bis clouded and excited
brain. Seized the dice with which
he Lad been playing, and turning to
the proprietor, the roval gambler
said: "1'ou shall hav a check to
morrow morning for what I hnve lost
if, no examination, I find that yon
have won it fairly." Deep won the
dismay with which the very fashion
able hell keeper heard the threat of
bis' formidable victim. The dice,
which had long been his fraudulent
instruments of robery, were, he well
knew, heavily plugged with lead.
Disgrace aud punishment stared him

he noticed that a poor kinsman ot
the Duke of Bedford, a guest under
the same roof which sheltered the
'rinee, still lingered in the gambling
room. Calling this ,, "gentleman
aside, the gambliug-house keeper of
fered to give him a large sum if he
would enter the Prince's bedroom
and substitute an honest pair of dice
for the "loaded" or "cogged" cubes
of ivory which the Prince had carried
oil
The bribe was accepted, and as
the royal rogue slept the heavy sleep
of exhaustion the exchange was effec
ted. , On . the following day, after
liaving caused tho dice to be sawed in
two, the Prince gave instructions that
the debt should be discharged; and
tin's very sum was included into the
balance sheet of his liabilities which
the Prince subsequently, laid before
the House of Commons. .

without Jie has a mind
. Several yt'ars ago, when- fbe - west
was a comparatively new country, an
individual presented hirrself at the
door of a log grocery in the. aettle
tuent of which we write, and asked jf
there wa" a Judge in the place. Up
on being informed that the store
keeper himself was a Judge, the
stranger proceeded :
i "Well, Judge, you see the facts of
the case is this ; I war traveliu. with
a pardner down here a piece, and he
showed me a silver dollar which he
bad. Well, I wanted the money,
and when he wasn't lookin I jopfed
him under the ear with my pistol.
Then I took his silver and tobacker
and cum along alone ; t but I got to
thinkin the matter over, and I don't
think I did just tho right thing by
my jmrdner. My consheus has been
troublin me, and I think I ought to be
hung. Nw, Judge, if it won't be
too much trouble, 1 d like to haveyou
try ine aud have me hung. If you
doubt tbe fac'. s in the case, there's
the dollar I took from my pardner,
and you'll find his remains down the
road a piece under a log. I'll be ob
liged to you, Judge, if you'll have
me hung."
The Judge told the stranger to
make hi.;;self comfortable over at
the hotel, until he could send some
men down the road to investigate the
matter, and if they found the body,
he would call a jury and try the
stranger as was desired. The dead
man being found, the Judge sum
moned a jury and sent word to the
stranger at the hotel, that if he would
step over to the store, tbey would
give him a trial.
The stranger appeared immediate
ly, shook hands with the Judge and
jury, iuTited the Court to take a
drink, aud appeared grateful and sat
isfied with the proceedings. .
The trial proceeded socially, find
the tender-hearted jury brought in a
verdict of guilty of manslaughter in
the first degree. A iok of anxiety,
which the stranger had worn up to
this time, now faded from his face
as be stood up to be sentenced by the
judge.
"You have been found guilt y,"
said the Judge, "of the crime of
manslaughter, for which you are
undoubtedly penitent." Here the
stranger Legan to get anxious and
uneasy.
"And if," proceedad the Judge,
"it meets with your approbation, we
will try and hang )-ou next Sunday
morning, at 11 o'clock a. sr. In the
meantime try and make yourself as
comfortable as possible."
Tho stranger looked sad, and the
Judge then asked him if he wasn't
satisfied. If there was anything he
could do for him.
"Jrdge, I hate to be particular
and fussy," said the stranger, , "but
bavin the fever anu ager, the chills
come on at 10 o'clock in the mornin.
and if you could have me swung off
before that time I would feel thank
ful." "Of course," said the Judge, "we
always respect a party's feelings.
No trouble at all. Come round at 9
o'clock, and may be we'll get through
before church time." .
Sunday morning at 9 o'clock the
stranger came out of the hotel and
proceeded to the grocery. There he
met a deputation of citizens, one of
whom threw a lariat over the limp of
a tree, aud as soon as the stranger
had taken a chew of tobacco and
shaken hands all around, they haul
ed him up. - . -. ! -,
A CLERICAL ELOPEJIEXT.
About a year ago a Methodist
preacher, named Rev. J. , N. Alltop,
left Silver Hill, Wetzel county, West
Virginia, where he had, been residing,
iu order to convert the heathen' iu
and ' about Dodridge county, New
York.;, . .
Alltop was a sweet-spoken, - mild-
mannered man, whose eyes, though
almost constantly turned heaven
ward, would occasionally drop on the
lambs of his flock. , Among them
was a grass widow. . She was fair to
look upon, and attracted the minis
ter's attention by, her earnest zeal
and constant attention to his preach
..' ..... - . - - .'....-:
' Alltop became interested in the
widow. Her husband had gone off
and left her, and she needed conso
lation. Alltop was her consoler.
They liyed neighbors, and it was his
duty to console her. ' Besides, if
there is anything in the world Alltop
is good at, it is, consolation. He was
only happy while iu the performance
of this Christian duty, and he was
riot the man to ever neglect being
happyj'' ' ,;' i.:- :'f"'sU:'
l)ut matter ware becoming seri
ous. Alltop had either to ;quit con
soling thewidow or quit the - neigh
borhood. ' , Disregarding the sage ad
vice of the elder Wellet , to "bevare
of the vidders," he determined : on
the latter course, and the two made
preparations' to elope. During the
month of June : they got' everything
in. readiness for flight.
The reverend gentleman gave out
that he was going away to , fall some
appointment, so as to prevent imme
diate pursuit,' and he and:' his 'para
mour "lit out. They, were gone
some weeks before , their elopement
was discovered
Alltop left behind him, and to tie
cared for by his deserted ' congrega
tion a loving wife ' and five small
children. " ' r
Several years ago, one of the prin

regularly patrolled by a beggar who

himself thus: "O! young lady! have

A cortespondenlof the Central Bap
list, after visiting President Grant
farm, a few miles from St. Louis,
Mo., says he was "received by Mr.
Eidrod, a relative of the President,
who is entrusted by him with the su
perintendence of property valued at
not less than , $300,000. The farm
includes, with recent purchases, SC'J
acres mostly rolling land. After the
brilliant descriptions that ha'-e been
recently published of Mr. Tweed's
Connecticut palace and the island
homes of Messrs Garvey, Ingersoll,
Keyser, and the other" magnates of
the Republican-Democratic New York
court house ring, the enthusiasm of.
the. Baptist's description of the Pres
ident's blooded stock, luxuriant ar
boriculture, and other items which
make up the 300,000, read quite nat
ural. '
President Grant went into the ar
my not worth a eent, and has lived
quite freely ever sine. His horses,
equipages, &c.; are the theme of ad- -miring
descriptions from corespon
dents not only at Washington but at
Long Branch, and ' wherever else he
takes up his temporary abode. It is
therefore quite consolatory to find
that out of Jiis not excessive salary,
first as general and liow as President,
he is able to keep $300,000 of blood
ed stock andsuch like property idle on
a Missouri farm. Politics appears to
pay- much the same in the White

court house of New York. The boss
