Sitting iu the ealor-.,seoluaion of my cosy; offiouUnHhe: WorldJBuild ;iug u few days ago, a group of fresh ly arrived, red-turbaned, many pet tieoated, over-buudled, hopeful eyed, .emigrants comforting them selves in the shade cf that great rock, the Post Office, attracted my attention. ; Knowing that each inember of the group, "great and small, was estimated by statisticians to be worth a thousand dollars to l he couutrj-, I mentally concluded that the little company before, me wpre worth, in their entirety, 50, Oio, and was running along an in teresting and amusing line of thought when a gentle tapping at my door induced me to sav, "Uome in." y " The door opened and a shapely, feminine figure, elegantly clad ap-lrach.ed.,.- ,i, l Pal leaf n hamlI'salnted her. She- was a beautiful woman, with a profuse bang over her shapely fore head, and blue-gray eyes, full of soul. After a.few moments,,, ordin ary conversation au embarrassing silence dominated the situation, and I, said to myself,! wonder what is coming. " It came. Mr. Howard, t have called to ask vou to lend me $50." "I would much rather 10 than lend you $50,"I give said you "But $10, would be of no 'use to me. Mother is very anxious to go t California, and if I could ha've $50 from you it would very materially aid us." She saw by my deprecating man ner that I was in no special; condi tion of flushness. and so, continuing with a beautiful smile, disclosing rows of pearly teeth, she said: "1 can make it very easy for you. ,last January I pawned a diamond ring which "cost -$400. I borrowed of Pawnbroker Delavan De Long, who keepsa place at No. 299 East Broad way,. 100 at 3 per cent, a month, Now, I don't see any probability of my getting that I ring aagin, and 3 percent, a month runs up very fast." "Well; but how 1 help yon?" I asked. ' 'Why, easy enough," she replied. "You take the ring out, pay back the loan and the interest and let me have a little, more money on it. If at any. time you want the money, you could geta great deal more than that on it from any pawribro-' ker. , t THE TEMPTATION. . " I looked at the ticket, which was something like this: , . ; I).

I objected to his signing another mail's name, whereupon1 he signed his name, and I, with a ring for the first time in my life "on my finger, left the store, almost. - ap-r. dlauded and . certainly appove'd by a gathering which had now assumed formidable. proportions in the shop, attended by such exclamations as, these as I went out: ; "He is a finei Snan too' "Oh, but he has the cheek . to make him come down,"'Oh, but he's the kind of boy to make the old .man stand round.", . ; .; s n -Well, to mako a long story -short,.

"' ' V-"7 - In my office I found the pretty la dy How sweet her smile, how ra diant her expression. ' ' "Did you get the ring?" "I got the ring." 11 ' "Well?" ... I then told her as I have told you precisely what I did, and continu ing, said :"Now I have paid $118 for 1 this ring. If I let yon have $32 that will make $150 advance upon it! instead of $100. -1 advise yon to take no more. Of course if you find that $25 additional will make your mother any easier in her prep- arations for the trip, come' to" me on Saturday and you shall have it.; Meantime, i Without interest, yoai have the loan and I the ring, and whenever you return the j $150 the ring is at your disposal.".; r n r? -r ; Whereupohih' the exuberance'of her gratitude she expressed her de light, with some degree of -emotion, and gracefully sai led away.

Th8 Industrial CrislJ The present appears to be a criti cal time in 'the history ' of labor; Within the past few months our workingmen have suddenly come to the consciousness of geeat pcwer Their more f compact - organization, their more effective weapons of war, have given them 1 advantages - that they never had before;; The question of the hour is whether they can use this power temperately and wisely.' L here are ominous signs of a dispo sition to employ it passionately and vindictively. ? Men who speak in the interests of selfish v capital are heard to express the confident hope that the workingmen will toon over step the bounds of prudence and jus tic and ruin thir own prospects. That is the real danger.; .Doubtless, it is hard for those who 5 are smart ing under a sende of injustice to be always terapreate and judicious; but the welfare ofi these 'men 'depends on keeping their heads ' cool. Ven geance does not belong to them; and they are strong enough1 now to be magnanimous; ' : -; It is easy for the organization - of labor to cripple by unreasonable de mands the industries of whole sec tions. They have done this ' thing already more than ; once. -" In " ! the stoppages and readjustments thus , occurring, great suffering is caused and no advantage is gained. An un just demand, even if it be tempora rily enforced, always reacts on those W,ho make it. ' The working 5 class have a tremendous power; they may easily employ it forself-destruc-' lion. It is quite possible for 1 them to use their power tyrannically; and tyranny will not thrive in thir day; the tyranny of a mob no more than the tyranny of an autocrat. ' This weapon of "the boycott with ' which the labor unions nave lately armed themselves is pretty sure ; to prove a boomerang. If they use it reck lessly, there may easily arise a on sumers' union, to fight them- with their own fire to patronize those whom they proscribe. - ' Already the popular indignation at the unscru pulous use of the weapon; is so strong that the publication; of a boycott has proved, in several cases, au excellent advertisement of the boycotted dealer. ; -1 ; With all tho improved enginery of war the labor unions are sure to find that war is dangerous business. It is all the more dangerous because of these improved weapons. It can never be any thing else but perilous and destructive business; Let not these combatants on either side sup pose that they can hurt and maim their antagonists and get no harm themselves! ' - ; j . Over all this wretched strife one can imagine those "better angels of our nature," whose ministry Abra ham Lincoln once pathetically but vainly invoked, bending with di vine compassion and crying to the embattled hosts with solemn rebuke and benigant appeal: "It is well, brother menis it well to fight? Is it not better to be friends? Ars yon not all the children of one Father?, Nay, are you not, as the great ap ostle said, members one of another? Your, war is not only wholesale fra tricide, it is ' social suicide. It is little to say you cannot afford : to fight: you live apart; you must live for one another. That is the way you were made to live; and you will never have anything but .trouble and sorrow till you learn that way and walk in it. The stars in their courses will fight against you 'until yon make peace with one another. Have we not had more than enough of war and its dismal noises and its spectral train of woes;' more than enough of silent looms and fireless forges; of children's faces pale with hunger and women's sunken eyes; of hearts made fierce - and' hard by-long-cherished enmities; of class ar rayed against class j and neighbor against neighbor? Oh, put it all a way from you- the hate, the suspi cionthe scorn; stand here together, bretheran as you are, helpers of one another as you must be, and promise one another that you will do what you can every one of you; to bring the day when between Labor and Capital there ihallbenolos'jer war, but peace forevermore."
