■ ******** r» F IR E S ID E M IS C E L L A N Y . “ SOME DAT.” *lbe following beautiful verse* are from the pea o f Mrs Elisabeth Akers (“ Florence Percy” ). There is an exquisite pathos running through these l i « « rarely equalled in this matter-of-fact age: T oa smooth tho tangles from my hair With gentle toaeh and teaderest care, And count tlie years ere yon shall mark Bright silver threads tygnong the dark, 8 nailing the while to hear me say, ‘ ‘ You’ll thiuk of this again some d a y ” — Some Day ! I do not scorn the power o f Time, Nor count on years o f fadeless pri ic ; But no white gleams will ever shine Among these heavy locks of mine. Aye, smile as gaily as you may, Y oa'll think o f this again some day— Some Day ! Some day I shall not feel, as now, Your soft bands move about my brow; I shall not slight your light commands, And draw the long braids thro’ my hands— I shall be silent and obey; And you—you will not laugh that day— Some Day! lr * I know how long your loving hands Will in ger with these glossy bands— Then you shall weave my last, last crown Of these thick braidings long and brown ; But you will see no touch o f gray Adown their shining length that day— 4 Some Day ! And while yo*ir tears are falling hot Upon the lips which answer not, You’ll take from these one treasured tress, And leave the rest to siloutness, Remember that I used to say, “ You’ll think of this again some day !” — Sonic Day! 8HOPPINO. She stood in front the counter— The day I ’ll ne’er forge!— She thought the muslin dearer Than any she’d seen yet; I watched her playful fingers The silk and satin toss; The clerk looked quite uneasy And nodded at the boss; “ Show me some velvet ribbon, Barege and satin turk,” She said, “ I want to purchase!” Then gave the goods a jerk. The clerk was all obodience— He traveled “ on his shape;” At length, with hesitation, She bought a yard of tape ! A LESSO N TO YOV1VG M E N . F AIM ERS’ STORE! The income tax of wealthy New Yorkers, recently published, contains a lesson to young men generally. It shows what can be accomplished by in dustry perseverance. The pub lished returns spoken o f above show that sixty-seven persons paid tax on in comes o f 8100,000 and over, an Irish immigrant, A. T. Stewart, who com menced life in New York with a capital of cents, standing at the head o f the list. O f some o f the tho Commercial Advertiser gives some very interesting facts. It says: Henry Keep boasted that he gradu ated from the poor-house o f Jefferson county. Jay Gould drove a herd o f cattle from Delhi, Delaware county, when a lad, for fifty cents a day, in or der to get money enough to reach the Hudson River. David Groesbeck, over thirty years ago, used to mend old shoes for his brother, who was a res pectable shoemaker ia Albany. W c koow the history o f James Gordou Bennett and Robert Bonner— poor boys, printers, full o f talent and industry, llufus Haich, when a youngster, had .ambition to hold the reins o f a peddler’s wagon. E. D. Morgan commenced life with a quart measure o f molasses. It is scarcely a dozeu years since Ilenry Clews was an errand boy in one o f the banking houses down town. The bro thers Seligman started out in life with a ped ller’s pack. David Dows#in his younger days retailed pork by the half pound, and molasses by the gill. II. T. llelm bold was first cabin-boy on the sloop Mary Jane, that navigated the Delaware river. W c might go on through this list and show that nearly every one o f those solid men was the architect o f his own fortune These facts need no comment. They hold good not only iu New York city, but all over the world. “ I f my ia liter,” said a dilapidated individual onee, “ had kicked me out o f doors when I was a boy, and told me to get my living or starve, I would thank him for it t o - d a y a n d he had the correct idea. and seventy-five A W O R D TO W IV E S . Twcuty years ago, a young man who had paid attention to a bright, sweet girl for a long time without making anything that was even a second cousin to a proposal, was startled one evening by the question : “ Robert, do you want to marry me ?” H e tried to evade the point by asking why she put such a question to him. “ Because, if you do not want to marry me, you must stop coming to see me. N o mocking bird around the red breast’ll nest, y ou k n o w ,'’ R obert took the hint, and with a cool good-night walked home. W hat should he care for a girl so rude as that? Good company as ber's elsewhere. He would join the club next day. He tried to sleep but eouldn’ t. H e didn’ t quite like the turn things had taken. The figure plagued him. I f he was a mocking-bird who was the redbreast that he was keeping away Irom snch a fitting partner? “ A t any rate, Nellie is smart as she is pretty,” he said to himself, “ and she means business.” The next morning Robert went to the counting-room. It was a long day. Business had dragged. Everybody was pre occupied, hurried, cross. Things went wrong, l i e was g la l to go home, only it wasn’ t home. H e took a book, but found himself trying to read the coals in the grate and figures on the wall instead o f the page. H e threw himself on the lounge, but it was dreadfully dull. He stood it for awhile and then put on his hat and walked down to the W idow Graigie’s. li e btepped up to the door as usual, but Nellie was engaged. l i e asked to have her called. It seemed a month before she came down. A t last she appeared. H e arose from his seat and met her in the middle of the room, and sa id : “ Nellie, I have come here to-night : on business. I am tired o f being your m ocking-bird, and want to be your red breast ; will you be my wife ?” “ W hen, do you *ay ?” said Nellie, her face suffused with blushes. “ Soon as I can make a nest,” replied Robert. “ I believe both the red-breasts joiu in building the nest,” said she, “ and I want to do my part.” * This was twenty years ago. To-day one o f the handsomest mansions in one o f our cities is the nest o f this wedded pair, whose life has been sweet os a bird’s song, and whose hearts, like their affections, are as young as ever. ’i here is a great deal more inputting a little straightforward business at the heginning o f life than is generally sup posed. EQrNinon de 1’EncIos defines a kiss: “ A n alms which enriches him who re ceives without impoverishing her who gives.” Very true, but misses should be careful that they bestow not these charities too indiscriminately. A wife may love her husband and her children, and may perform her or- dniary duties faithfully, and yet ruin her husband by her foolish ambition. But let a woman’s ambition turn to show and seeming rather than on sub stance and reality, and she will drive her husband to ruin, unless be is made o f uncommonly good stuff. She wishes to equal the best. She is ambitious o f olothes, o f a fine, but for him extrava. gant, table. She envies every one more prosperous than her husband is. She wishes a bouse a little beyond his means; she will have clothes not con sistent with his incom e; she demands expensive pleasures which suck up his slender earnings; she brings him in debt, keeps him feverish with anxiety, and finally poisons his very honesty. Many a man breaks down his repu tation and becomes a castaway under the stimulation o f his wife’s dishonest ambition. For to lire beyond one’s means is dishonest, and to desire to do so is to desire a dishonest thing. Let a woman scatter faster than her husband can gather; let her notions o f duty send her gadding after everybody’ s business but her o w n ; let her religion be severe and censorious, and stand along the path o f duty like a thorn lo cust hedge on a garden walk, which pricks and tears everybody that goes near i t ; let her secure the art o f making home uncomfortable, aod o f tempting her husband to prefer any other place to i t ; let her use her husband as seam stresses do pincushions, to stick pins in ; and, with ordinary luck, she will ruin any commonly clever fellow in a few years. Having driven him to a drunk ard’s grave, she can muffle her martyred heart under the funeral smelling crape, and walk in comely black until some new victim helps her put on her wed ding suit.
