ONLY A TBAMK
BY IVAN.
From tbe Portland Telegram.
A crowd had gathered. I pushed my way.
And asked, what was the matter ?
No one answered, I looked again.
And found a dead man. In tatters.
None seemed willing to touch the dead.
So ragged, so poor, and old,
"Only a tramp," the neighbors said,
"Who died in the street, in the cold."
No one to mourn him, or shed a tear,
No hand in pity raised.
Not one to follow the lonely bier
The Tramp, to his pauper grave.
Not one did I say! ah, yes, I forgot.
There was one, who was true to the last.
And he trotted along, so soner and slow,
On the crowd, not a look did he cast.
In the storm, and the rain together they slept;
They shared the same food that was given
The ground was their bed fur many a night.
Their coverlet, the canopy of Heaven.
Together they wandered, together they lived,
Friends faithful, and true to the last,
Dividing their joys, and sharing their ills,
Friends, in their feast, and their fast.
The dog and his master cared little for friends ;
Through life they had journeyed together ;
A woman 1 had broken the heart of the man,
When life, was all sunshlney weather.
His love for a woman, an outcast had made him.
And a wanderer, far from hia home.
Dying, and dead, in the cold, cold street,
A Tramp; with his dog all alone.
AH ABDEKT LOV Ell.
BY KATE TBXJE.
His name was Jacob, It had been bis
father's before Mm, and his father's
fatner's. The Storms were a hard-working,
money-getting race. Jacob Storm,
the father of our hero, constantly said
that "he couldn't see why under the
shining sun a man needed an education ;
't any rate, more'n 'nough to reckon his
crops and cattle." Jacob, the younger,
had once expressed a desire to attend
school out of town; but Storm, senior,
killed his ambition in that respect with a
few words.
The inhabitants of Putneyville wore
not all conservatives of the Storm order.
Sons of rich farmers were in college,
daughters of hard-working fathers and
mothers were away at school, and Put
neyville felt their influence when they
came home for a vacation. One of the
gayest, brightest, prettest girls in town
was Sallie Rivers. Her father had a
poorer farm and fewer bonds than his
neighbor Jacob Storm, but the Rivers
family worshipped another idol. From
the mother down every one valued a
good education. The father had been
denied it, as he was the eldest of a large
family, and compelled to aid in support
ing the rest. He was a man of excellent
natural ability, aud extravagantly fond
of reading.
The boys of the family were compelled
to work their -nay through college, and
Sallie, the jovial, was determined to fol
low their example.
So wonder Jacob Storm, junior, lpved
! tailie. He had lived near her for years,
had carried her dinner pail back and
forth for her, had purposely misspelled
words to let her pass above him, and in
all her maddest pranks, he had rejoiced
while others blamed. When one of the
neighbors gave a party, the verbal invi
tation was generally, "Sallie, and the
rest of the boys."
Sallie liked it; she was full of bound
ing fun; she hated silly airs; and as her
brothers were, with one exception, older
than herself, it was quite proper that
she should do as they did. Jacob Storm
had once called her "Will-o'-the-wisp,"
and the name fitted her so well that the
boys took it up. The wildest colt on the
farm would obey Sallie; she feared noth
ing, went and came as she pleased, and
did more work in one morning than her
mother and Huldah, the maid, could pos
sibly do together.
Naturally, this warm-hearted, active,
cheerful girl, was the light of her fath
er's eyes. He could not send her away
from him, like the boys, not even for the
coveted education. For three years in
her teens she bore the restraint as meek
ly as possible; but the fourth year could
not he borne. How much the girl had
suffered in secret, no one knew.
"Father," she said one day, as she
sprang from her saddle, "my mind is
made up. I shall go into the mill and
earn money enough to attend school."
"But mother can't spare you, my
daughter."
'Mother is willing, said Sallie; "she
always wanted to study, herself."
"Well, we seem to need you here,
somehow," said the old gentleman, strok
ing the colt's neck to hide his feelings.
"Yes, father, and you shall have me.
I can work hard, and come home to spend
every vacation; and won't you be glad to
see me ?"
Mr. Rivers led the colt away, and did
Dot answer.
"Why not?" he said to himself; "why
shouldn't she have a fair chance? I
suppose I might sell off the meadow to
old Storm, and send my only girl away
in good shape; but it will spoil the farm,
and I hate to."
He could not think of the house with
out her; he dreaded the long winter
evenings, and the warm summer days,
without his darling; and at last he sat
down in one corner of the barn on an
old grindstone, which Sallie had often
turned for him. He sat there a long
time, trying to overcome his selfishness;
and at last, as he heard the girl's ringing
voice calling him to supper, he rose up,
saying, "She's my only girl; and she
shall have a chance, come what will."
The boys were delighted. They were
proud of Sallie, and quite sure she would
do herself and the family credit. To be
sure, Tom's pride was hurt when he heard
she was to work in the mill at Glenmere;
Dut the new house which Tom had urged
his father to build had cost more than
they expected, and every year some new
machinery must be purchased. It was
twenty miles to Glenmere twenty miles
from home love, care and comfort; but
Sallie did not falter. To be sure, it was
a trial to leave them all, a hard thing to
select from her little store of girl's bo
longings; and a small room in a boarding-house
would never afford the delight
that her own large, sunny chamber did.
Sallie felt a thousand tears, but did not
shed one, although her mother and Hul
dah wept profusely as the carriage drove
away, with Sallie's father on the back
seat with her, and Jacob Storm in front
with Sallie's brother Dike.
"I wish I had her chance," said Jacob,
as the father and daughter talked in low
I tones on the back seat.
. "Great chance," said Dike, "to go
down there and work among all sorts,
-and never have any music evenings, or
any home, 01? "
Dike paused; his seelings were too
much for him, and yet he would not let
Jake Storm see a tear in his eyes.
"It's a chance to make yourself some
thing better than a drudge, a chance to
see and know what is going on in the
great world. Heading is good, Dike
but seeing is a million times better.
Jacob read early and late, he thought
and studied; but after all, be knew that
the discipline which Tom and Joe Rivers
were having would be a great blessing to
him. His one dread was that Sallie
might consider him inferior to her.
"She shall not get before me if I die try
ing," he said.
Sallie's room was not so bad after all;
Mrs. Mora had done her best to please
her old friend Mrs. Rivers. When
Sallie's books were unpacked, and her
piano was in one corner, and her pet
bird Glory hung up, the place was quite
delightful.
A room-mate was impossible, as she
desired to spend all her spare moments
in preparation for her future work.
About this time she wrote to Tom : "It
is a hard grind, dear old boy; and some
times, when my head whirls about with
the noise, or the associations vex me, 4.
feel like running away to China or Japan;
but I don't, I only go home when I am
free, and take a good dose of Chopin or
Beethoven; they tone me up. By care
ful management, I shall be able to save
some money. There is a little French
girl here, who ss anxious to study Eng
lish ; every week I give her a lesson for a
lesson; I spea and read French with her;
then, two of Mrs. Mora's children take
lessons on the piano, and my board bill
is light. Who do you think comes here
every Sunday? Why, Jacob Storm. His
father will not let him go to college, and
he walks down here after work is done
Saturday, and returns Sunday night. He
is a great friend of John Mora's, and I
have to be teased about him, but I don't
mind that. Jake seems like one of you and
every week he questions me about my
lessons.
"Sometimes he brings a few flowers,
or some chickweed for Glory, sometimes
a piece of new cheese in a dainty box,
and generally a note or message from
mother or Dike. When he drives down,
Dike comes with him; and I can work
harder all the week after seeing his rosy
"Jake gets books from the library
here, and leaves them for me to read
first; thenwe talk them over afterward,
and Dike is getting quite interested.
Brave little Sallie! The days and
weeks flew by, and found her at her post.
She only saw the hard dfiily toil, only
felt the bonds which kept her close until
she could join the girls who quietly and
easily walked the paths of knowledge.
She did not know that her example gave
Joe new courage, and kept Tom from
many a "college lark;" she never dreamed
that Jacob Storm was making a man of
himself for her sake: she could not see
the power she exercised over Dike, who
was inclined to be a little wayward;
she never guessed that her devotion to
self-culture and study had stimulated
some of her associates to go and do like
wise. Her brief vacations were seasons
of joy. Jacob Storm wished they might
last forever. He, too, was hard at work;
and one day, when he and Sallie had
discussed the merits of various authors,
and compared notes concerning their
studies, Sallie's outburst of praise for
his achievements drew from him an
avowal of his love.
"Why, Jacob," said she regretfully,
"I never thought of you in that way. I
should as soon fancy Tom marrying
me."
"You think I am olumsy and slow,"
he said, "or perhaos stupid and ignor
ant, because I remain here when others
go away; they have educated themselves,
with fato and fortune to aid them. I
have done it thus far against fate, and
without fortune. I shall some day make
the world hear of me; how, when, or
where, I do not know, but it will come."
"I believe you, Jacob," said Sallie,
"and I am proud of you; but love is
something I know nothing of, and until
I have finished my course as a student, I
must put pleasure of all kinds out of my
head. Don't sulk, Jacob; I am not
heartless, only ignorant. Come, saddle
Tarn O'Shanter, and let us have one of
our mad rides to Sparkling Spring; it
will be something to remember when I
am grinding at the mill again."
Jacob oboyed her. Her wishes had
been his law for years, and he was manly
enough to be proud of it.
At last the goal was won. Sallie was
in college, devoting herself to her cher
ished books, and Jacob still worked as
he had done before, now blaming himself
for his folly in regarding his father's
wishes, now working at his books with
the desperate energy of one who has
staked all on success.
Every Sunday he visited Glenmere
with Dike, but no longer spent his time
with Sallie. At last a change came;
Jacob Storm, Sr. , was gathered to his
fathers, and his son was free.
Dike wrote to his sister in boyish fash
ion : "Old Storm has gone, and Jake
mourns for him as if he had been loving
and tender, instead of a stiff old miser.
Jake will leave here soon; he does not
say where he is going.
"I shall miss him terribly. We have
read and studied together all winter.
Jake knows a heap. He surprises me all
the time. He is having your picture
painted for me, from the one you sent
home. I wish I could go with him; but,
as you say, it would never do to leave
father and mother alone. I am reading
the books you ordered, but I can't pin
myself down to hard study after working
all day."
Sallie's last year of college life was
drawing near its close, and the students
were arranging for their separation, when
an invitation was sent them to attend a
lecture by an eminent gentleman who
had been recently appointed to a profes
sorship in a Western university.
"Going, Miss Rivers?" asked a senior,
as she peeped in at the half -open door of
Sallie's room.
"No, I think not. I shall employ the
time in writing home."
"Do go. They tell me Professor
Storm is quite remarkable, and Darwin
ism has it3 attractions for all of us."
"Professor Storm was closeted with
the Prex to-day," said another senior,
and I understand the light of his coun
tenance will illuminate the college to
morrow." "I think I will go," said Sallie, sud
denly, "it will not do to miss such a
treat."
In her rebellious little heart she was
saying, "I will go for the sake of the old
name and my childhood's friend, but
poor old Jake will never know anything
of it."
The hall was crowded, and on the plat
form sat the college President, with sev-
eral distinguished gentlemen. The
speaker's face was nartly hidden by the
desk before him. When he rose, at last,
Sallie's heart gave a quick bound; for
there before her stood her neighbor,
friend and lover.
He did not seem to see her; his sub
ject engrossed his entire attention. Sal
lie listened with pleasure. The physical
training of the past added strength to
his mental acquirements, and his clear,
manly voice charmed all who listened to
him.
"Isn't he fine looking?" whispered
one. "What a splenkid type of man
hood I" said another. "He understands
himself perfectly, as well as his subject,'
said a third.
When the speaker closed, the applause
was emphatic and prolonged. Sallie sat
motionless. Surprise and pleasure
mingled with a thousand memories. Fro- 1
fessor Storm did not heed it. He was
looking at a bright face just before him,
and answered the congratulations of his
friends in an absent manner.
"Pardon me," he said to the president;
"I recognize an old schoolmate yon
der." "Ah, indeed! that is Miss Rivers, a
young lady of remarkable energy aud
unbounded perseverance; she stands at
the head of her class."
"I'm so glad, so very glad," was all
Sallie could say.
"Are you? Then help me to escape
from all these eyes, snd let me, give you
the latest tidings from home.
Miss Rivers was envied by her friends
as she passed out, stopping now and then
to introduce the popular scientist as an
old schoolmate.
Of what they talked, and how, it mat
ters not to us; we only know that a cer
tain professor was absent from his post
in order to attend the exercise's at a cer
tain college, where Miss Rivers gradu
ated, and we also know that a wedding
took place soon after, and the bride's
toilett did not cost her weary days and
nights; for, like a wise woman she pur
chased it in New York, and enjoyed the
last precious days with her friends.
When the bridal party wont West, Dike
joined them, and is now fitting himself
for his future work in life.
Mrs. Storm, nee Sallie Rivers, is also
a professor in the same institution with
her husband; and her excellent parents
spend a portion of each season with her.
When any of the family joke Professor
Storm about his lovelike attentions to his
wife, he always answers, "I owe all my
prosperity to the fact that I have been
her life-long, ardent lover."
Which Is Better Beer or Water 1
A man once said to me, "Do you be
lieve there is more strength in a glass of
water than a mug of ale?"
"Stop a bit," I answered; "that is not
a fair comparison. You pay five cents
for your mug of ale I get my glass of
water for nothing. Besides when I drink
my glass of water, I am satisfied with it;
but if you drink a glass of ale, directly
yon must send down another to keep it
company. Suppose now you get a quart
and pay twelve cents for it, and I take
the same amount of money, and pay six
cents for steak, and two cents for bread,
and two cents for potatoes, and two cents
for apples, and have a glass of fresh
water for nothing. Which is the better?
I eat my dinner and am satisfied with it,
and go back to my work and earn more
money. You go back to the saloon to
get more ale, to spend your money, and
waste your time."
If the beer drinker will abstain long
enough to get rid of the effects of his
beer, he will find himself able to do
much more work than when he drinks.
One of the greatest champions of our
I day, when he is training for a contest,
says there is nothing like cold water and
dumb bells.
There is no greater mistake than to
suppose that beer and spirits strengthen
a man. They only stir him up and use
up his strength. I drove twenty-four
miles the other day. When I got within
a mile or so of home my horse fagged. I
gave him a sharp cut with my whip and
he went faster, but I did not say "I've
strengthened my horse!" If that's the
way to strengthen him, why not let him
live on whip-cord ? Alcohol is a whip
to him that drinks it, and he is a great
fool that whips himself.
Some years ago two men took an early
start and walked over to a neighboring
town twenty miles away. Having
done their business they walked about to
see the place, and met a fellow-townsman,
who proposed to return with them,
anc invited them into a beer-shop for a
strengthening drink. "No," said they,
"we are teetotalers, and we have had our
lunch." But he could not go without a
priming of ale. At last they were off,
and for a while they all kept even step,
till after some miles the beer man began
to lag behind, and, at the half-way
house he must have a bracer. After
three miles more he wanted another, and
this time it was whisky. Finally at fif
teen miles, he gave out entirely and
stopped for the night, where he was laid
up for a day or two ; while they walked
on home and the next day were fresh for
busines.
Oh, no, friends, all nature works on
water, and we believe that God meant
that man should do the same.
Take the water, friends, and all the
good things that go with it. Godjs bles
sing is in it.
A Stranger's Mistakes.
A few days ago a Western merchant
who wanted to do some sight-seeing and
buy his fall stock at the same time, en
tered a dry goods jobbing house on
B ro d ay, and accosted the first person
he met with, "Are you the proprietor
here!1 "Not exactly the proprietor,
was the reply. "At present 1 am acting
as shipping clerk, but I am cutting my
cards for a partnership next year by or
ganizing noon prayer meetings in the
basement.
j. ne si ranger passed on to a very important-looking
personage with a dia
mond pin, and asked : "Are you the head

"Well, no; I can't say as I am at pres
ent, but I have hopes of a partnership in
January. I'm only one of the travelers
just now, but I'm laying for 4 3200 pew
in an up-town church, and that will
mean a quarter interest here in less than
six months.
The next man had his feet up, his hat
back and a 20-cent cigar in his mouth.
and he looked so solid that the stranger
said :
"You must run this establishment."
"Me ?" Well, I may run it very soon
At present I'm the bookkeeper, but I'm
expecting to get into a church choir
with the old man's darling and become
an equal partner here."
The stranger was determined not to
make another mistake. He walked
around until he found a man with his
coat off and busy with a case of goods,
and he said to him :
"The porters are kept pretty busy in
nere, x see.
"Yes," was the brief reply.
"But I suppose you are planning to
invent a Uospel hymn book and sing the
old man out of an eighth interest, aren't
you?"
"Well, no, not exactly," was the quiet
reply. "I'm the old man himself."
And all that the stranger said, after a
long minute spent in looking the mer
chant over, was : "Well, durn my but

Rest and Repair.
It may be safely assumed that those
have been mistaken who supposed that
physiological rest consists in inaction,
and that repair goes on during quies
cence. Nutrition and, therefore, re
pair is the concomitant of exercise.
Appetite is one thing, the power to di
gest food another. A man may feel
ravenous, and consume large quantities
of material containing the elements of
nutriment, but be unable to appropriate
the supply furnished, or, in other words,
to nourish himself. It is so with rest.
Mere inaction may be secured without
rest, and idleness without the restor
ation of energy. The faculty
of recovery and recuperation
after exercise is in direct pro
portion to the vitality of the organ
rested. This acuity is not to be called
into action by inactivity ! It follows
that relief and recovery from the effects
of what is improperly called "overwork"
cannot be obtained by simply "going
away for a change" or by indulgence in
idleness. A new form of exercise is nec
essary, and the mode of action chosen
must be one that supplies moderate exer
cise to the very part of the system which
it is required to "rest" and restore a
Health-seekers often err in trying to re
cover their powers by simple diversion
of energy. It is a popular error to sup
pose that when the brain is overworked
the muscular system should be exercised
by way of counteraction. The part it
self must be worked, so as to stimulate
the faculty of nutrition; but it should
be set to fresh work, whioh will incite

Olive Logan says, in the Philadelphia

traction of the statement he allowed to
be printed, to the effect that the cele
brated novelist was in her forties, had
yellow hair and dressed in odd taste. If
this statement be "fiat burglary" it must
be so, I fancy, only by that singular

greater the truth the greater the libel."
So, too, is Mr. Labouchere's statement
that "Moths" is "a most nasty book."

express tbe moral disgnstingness of

summer during my visit to America to
see young girls reading "Moths" and
others of Ouida's recent novels. By
English mothers Ouida's writings have
long been placed in an Index Expurga

be seen reading Onida would be thought
to indicate a looseness in the matter of
parental rearing which not only elderly
people, but young marriageable men,
would disapprove. Whatever their liter

of a shell, trimmed with old gold satin and finished
with cheneille cord and fringe. The centre piece
in the back is a radius in silk plush. Another hue
and unique piece is a parlor cabinet. Queen Anne
style, ebony and gilt, panels of flint glass beveled
edges in the center, tne wings leit open lor tne aia
play of brlc-a brae. An easel of ebony and gold
makes a fine showing, in each corner of the room
is an elegant stand surmounted by ormolu figures of
knights in armor. A winged boon case is snown
tbe case being of walnut, ornamented
by a white holly and ebony marquiteri
panel. The marble mantel is adorned with
gilt and surmounted by an elegant pier glass of
French plate, the heavy gold iranie handsomely
carved and gilded in rich style. The draperies

FAB SUBPASS AS XT BIND IN THAT LINK
Ever displayed in this city, and hang on either side
01 the pier alass. one ot rail length, in silk cash
mere, with heavy garnet plush; center drapery of
gold, silk plush and blue side pieces of same, the
whole finished with cheneille fringe and tassels, and
draped over fine lace curtains of sunflower pattern.
A portier or door curtain is the most elegant exhibit
in the pavilion, and is not surpassed on the coast.
The body is of maroon mohair plush, having a bor
der of broad French uioquette stripe, the figure i
vase, supporting festoons of flowers; one curtain
gracefully draped, the other hanging straight to
show the effect when drawn over the door. The val
ance is of the same material, the stripe running
transverse, trimmed with heavy cheneille iringeand
tassels. The ceiling of these two rooms are deco
rated similar to the interior of a handsome parlor
and the halls are adorned by paper of richly blend
ing colors. Whether taken as a whole or in detail
the diplay is the finest in its line ever made north of
San Francisco, and a visit to the fair is well repaid
by viewing it even ii were the only attraction.
The presence of a wide awake resident partner in
San Francisco, with extensive eastern connections,
enables the firm to furnish, without delay, anything
in their line demanded by this market at prices that
distance competition. Take for instance the trade
in carpets in which the house does a large business.
In order to keep up with the demand for latest and
best patterns, the arrivals in San Francisco of new
goods are watched with care, and the best possible
selections made. The same is true of upholstery
and drapery. Any thing new and desirable is certain
to find its way to the spacious warehouses and store
rooms of this firm. In every feature that goes to
make up business success, a complete stock, the
ability to fully supply all wants, selectiens to suit
all tastes, prices uniformly the lowest that prudence
can dictate, and honorable dealing, Messrs Shindler
& Chadbourne occupy an envied position.
THEIB FACTOBY.
The furniture factory of this energetic firm, is
located at Wlllsburg, one mile south of the car shops
on the O. & C. railroad. Steam power, taxes, and
interest on invested money in factories in cities is
no light burden to manufactories. As the mariner
avoids shoals and quicksands, so in the location of
their factory, Shindler & Chadbourne avoided all
needless outlay and heavy running expenses, where
others, less wise, have fallen into those errors.
They bought about two years ago ten acres of land
with one of the best water privileges in the state,
erected suitable buildings, put in machinery of the
latest and best kinds, and there, within four miles
of Portland, they produce every grade of furniture
required in their large and growing business. We
were through the factory some months ago, and have
not Iseen an establishment which seems.to be con
ducted with more system, or better management.
We see from our sanctum dally great loads of their
furniture crossing at the ferry from the factory to
the warerooms.
The most successful flouring mills in this state
in fact the only profitable ones have been those run
by water power, while steam power mills have been
far from profitable. In New England the great chair
and furniture factories are in the interior adjoining
streams furnishing motive power. The greatest
furniture factories of Orand Bapids, Michigan, are
run by water power. Shindler & Chadbourne
have certainly acted wisely in locatingtheir factory
in the country, and using the motive power furnish
ed without price by nature. Great piles of ash,
maple, spruce, cedar, walnut and fir are stacked
about .he factory. A year's supply is always
stored to insure proper seasoning, and one of
the most annoying features shrinking and swelling
of furniture thus avoided. Only the most skilled
artisans are employed. Chamber suits, office, libra
ry, parlor and dining room furniture are produced
in large quantities, and from the lowest priced chair
to the finest bedstead, nothing is allowed to leave
the factory without strict examination and the assur
ance of perfect workmanship in every detail.
The stores and warerooms of the firm are located
on First and Front streets between Morrison and
Yamhill and occupy three floors fifty by two hun
dred feet,
What we have described of their exhibit in the pa
vilion can at any time be seen largely multiplied by
a look their establishment where ail visitors wnetfi
er purchasers or not will receive every attention.
