Dick Smith, Ch'arlc3 Long, and Fred
Hoed were in a great hurry., Dick was
ithead, with liLs cap pushed back and his
cheek;: all of aglow. .The boys quickened
their pace as they entered the street that
was appointed where the fun should be.
Just before the boys reached the place
designated,' "they saw a sight which
should have touched the hearts of every
one, but in this case it seems it did
t -
not.
A young man was staggering along the,
sidewalk!, and when he came to the boys.
Ik; reeled against Dick, which made him
quite vcked, and would have struck him
had it not been for Fred, who by this
time liad reached the spot, and as
Fred was blessed with a very good tem
per, he succeeded in starting Dick along
without further delay.
"Come along, Fred, don't bother 1"
said Dick, after ho had started along a
Jew paces, "he's only a drunken fool $
anyway."
Hut Fred did not heed Dick's call.
He was bound to see where- the drunken
man was eroiiur to. as ho had a deal of
sympathy for him. He had riot watched
the man long when, glancing up, he saw
a team coining at a fearful rate, driver
less, and the, drunken man was head
ing towards the (street center. For a
second, Fred paused ; he thought of his
" poor mother at- home (who was a widow)
i depending on him for her support, of
how lojelyshe would bo if he should bo
killed; he even had time to think how in
the world she could get the money to
buy him a cofliu, and the terrible sight
he must witness if ho remained where he
was, and ho resolved to make the attempt
at tho risk of his own life. He then
sprunsr forward, snatched tho drunken
man from under, the very feet of the
horse., and reached the opposite pave
ment, he knew not how. In a moment
a large crowd gathered, admiring Fred's
courage and asking him1 questions, as a
crowd are in the habit of doing.
" You are very good," said the young
man, by this time roused to conscious
ness. " What is your name ?"
"Frederick lteed."
"And where do you live I",
In S : Court, No. 15," said
Fred, blushing to think in what a low
fore he could come.
Well, to make a long story short, Mr.
Johnson went to see Fred's mother, and
he told . her that he was a dry goods
merchant in the city of C , and he
wanted Fred and her to go back with
Mm when he went. After some con
sideration, she went, and Mr Johnson
found a situation for her where she
could earn very good wages.' He took
Fred into his own store, and soon made
him head clerk, and there is not a more
promising young man in the whole city
of C than Frederick Reed. The
boy that he had saved from death never
touched, tasted, or handled the intoxi-l
eating, cup afterward; that frightful
'event learned him a lesson which he
never will forget.
And now, my dear reader, did it pay ?
I, think it did, and you will probably
agree with me. If you are ever tempted
not to do good when an opportunity is
offered, put your temper under your
foot, and obey your heart s impulses.
Now do not wait for opportunities of
doing) good to others to come to you, but
seek1 them out, and your Heavenly
Father will reward you in heaven if not
this earth. - '

The Lost Boy.
Time wears on, and yet no certain
knowledge comes as to the fate of little
Charley Ross, whose name has been so
often mentioned in every household in
the country. Almost every week, there
are rumors of a boy discovered some
where answering the description of the
lost Charley. 3 Jut in every case investi
gation proves that, although the resem
blance may be striking, it is not the
missing child who strangely disappeared
last July. Yet the general search which
has been instituted has brought to light
some hidden things, revealed some mys
teries, and discovered some evil-doers,
as well as some other long-missing chil
is found in the fact that the
fashionable women of Boston, Hartford,
and other neighboring towns get their
dresses made here. There is not a
modiste in Boston that can equal a
New York style. Boston women come
hither for the express purpose of getting
dresses, and when 1,000 is to be in
vested in this manner the traveling and
hotel expense is a mere trifle. The best
modistes have elegant parlors on the
side streets, near Broadway; the entrance
looks like that of a ' private house.
Sometimes no sign is displayed, this
being only the case with a few of the
most reciter che order. The mistress of
the establishment is splendidly dressed,
with a fine show of diamonds. Her
manners are Parisian, her face is rouged,
and her language is a fascinating broken
English, intermingled with the purest
French. Her very appearance is a sen
sation. The assistant is of plain aspect,
and is ready at showing the styles while
the mistress carries on conversation on
the important! subject which brings the
fashionable world to her establishment.
Measures are taken, sometimes by a
genuine Frenchman, whose fingers move
round a female shape with the agility of
a monkey. Up stairs the scene is dif
ferent. There one may find the poor
iris at work stiching as for their lives
working early and late, going through a
daily martyrdom as the victims of gree
and oppression; for the mistress, wealth;
for them, toil and misery. When you
want to talk of a profitable business, just
enter one of these establishments. It is
perfectly wonderful how they pile on the
price. Well, one-half the appreciation
of these gay styles consists in the idea of
special limitation. Here are choice
styles, concealed from all but the very
inside Ting of golden aristocracy, with
prices to match, Some dresses at $5,000
will answer for these butterflies of fash
ion, but occasionally even , these will be j
exceeded. A more moderate clasp may
be satisfied with a': $2,000 dress, while
others are content with a $1,000 pattern.
These modistes show their profits by
theif1 summer trips to Saratoga, Long
Branch, and other places of ton. They
have their own aristocracy, , which is
peculiarly exclusive, and of these the
present prisoner at Ludlow street is a
leader. Whenever ner term expires she
may expect additional honor as one of
the martyr3 of fashion and the unjust
laws which oppress it. It is probable,
however, that the next time she makes a
trip to Paris she will be willing to pay
the duties on the trunks whic i form her
Knglish Domesties.
Colonel Forney jotsydown these ob
servations: "Take doniestic service in
England. There are almost as many
grades in it as in high rank. Each is
appointed to his or her place; each has
definite privileges, and deference to the
one ahead is the rule. The butler or
steward is the chief, and exacts respect'
from all below; and from him through
all the grades of waiter, coachman, cook,
and dressing-maid there is always some
body above to follow and obey. There
is a rude maxim that every Englishman
is the idolater of the some bigger Eng
lishman right before nun. ine wages
of a servant of all work in .London is
about 12 (sixty dollars) a year, and for
this she does all the labor and is often
the cook as well, getting few perquisites,
I know some places in the great capital
where one poor girl for tliis money is as
utter a slave as ever worked on a South
ern plantation. She washes, sews, scrubs,
cooks the meals for the boarders, does
chamber-wotk, and tends the door for
five dollars a month ! If such a poor
creature rebels the answer is prompt :
'If ' you leave me you shall never get
another place, because I will give you no
certificate of character.' If she fails in
this the broad, cold, cruel town is her
only and last resourre. But it is a mis
take to suppose that this rule has not
many .exceptions.

T7ie Came of John Xitehel.
Mr. John Mitchel, who was elected to
the English Parliament from the county
of Tipperary by a unanimous vote, had
recently visited England without any in
terference on the part of the English gov
ernment. His offense consisted, in as
sailing the Queen and taking part in a
movement to overthrow the British gov
ernment. In 1848, when Europe was
alive with revolutionary impulses, John
Mitchel, in conjunction with William
Smith O'Brien. Thomas Francis
Meagher and many others, engaged in i
an attempt to free Ireland. Mitchel
was tried under an act which made it
felony to " compass or to imagine the de
position of the Queen, or to give expres
sion to any such intention." We believe
it was the trial of Mitchel and his con
viction that led to the rising when, under
the command of O'Brien, the Irish pa
triots engaged in a conflict at Ballin-
garry, where several lives were last. The
result of this conflict was the trial of
O'Brien and his friends for high treason,
their conviction and banishment.
O'Brien was allowed to return to Ire
land in 185G, and the action of tho Eng
lish government in permitting this was
regarded as a virtual pardon to all con
cerned with him.
Others of the patriots escaped from
transportation, with the connivance, it

and aave lived in the United States.
Arcing them the most conspicuous is

is that he is a felon Under sentence.
Some years ago the same district
which has elected Mitchel elected
O'Donovan Rossa to Parliament. Rossa
had been sentenced to imprisonment for
an attempt to overthrow the British
government. At the time of his elec

The governess, no matter how gifted,

to remove her child from the nurse under
whose charge he had been placed about
two years previous. lhe board had
been regularly paid, and when the
mother was so situated that she could
take care of her child herself , she claimed
him. But '.the nurse refused: to deliver
him up, arid when legal proceedings
street it was.
" Good-bye,' Fred," said the young
man. " I will tell father about you, and
I shall see you again, sometime."
Fred then thought that he would go
and fin I Dick and have tho fun ho spoke
of about an hour previous, but finally de
cided not to go, as the fun would all be
over before he could got there.
You've lost fun enough to have lost
a week," said Dick, by-and-byo, coming
along where Fred was looking in at a
shop window.
" I say, Fred, what drunken man wa3

"I don't know, Dick ; some richmau's

and was almt my own age. Poor fel

Dick went off whistling with hands in
hispoekots. "For every one is fortun

"Well," said Charles Long, "I sup
pose ymi didn't get anything for what
you did, Fred?"
... " Certainly not," said Fred. "Mother
says I must do a good deed .when I can,
without tht expectation of a reward."
"You-will never lay up much money
in that way, Fred."
"I know that," Pays Fred, "but it
makes me fool awful good here " (placing
his hand on his heart),
j Tho next day, when Fred went home
to dinner, his mother told him that there
was a letter for um.
"A Utter for1 me?" said Fred, "what
does it moan? I never had a letter in

it aloud: !
"Frederick Reed is requested to call
at tho A House this afternoon, be
tween the hours of two and six o'clock.
Inquire for William Johnson."
What does it mean ?" said Fred.
"You must go and see," said his
mother.
Fred looked at his shabby clothes and
hoce, and finally concluded that he
could black up his old boots, and his
mother could sow up nis clothes so they
would look respectable.
After everything was ready, he started
on his errand. His mother looked out

order, tho nurse obtained possession of
him from the parties who had charge of
him during tho progress of the trial.
Search was at once made; but the nurse,
wjth her helpless charge, had fled to
Canada, thence she was traced to Buffalo,
thence to Saratoga, and then again she
was lost in the thronging crowds of New

The newly appointed warden of the
penitentiary on BlackwelL's Island says
that vhen he entered upon his duties he
determined to reduce Wm. M. Tweed to
the ievel of the other prisoners, permit

favor. He caused a strict measurement
of the cells to be made to see if one could
not be found suitable for the prisoner.
A comparison of the measurement of the
prisoners and that of the largest cell
showed that the cell was just an inch
wider than the prisoner, thus rendering
it impossible to put him in a cell without
seriously endangering his health. The

would make our dairy successful we
must breed good cows. In doing this
feed will have a great influence. Not
only is it necessary to breed for the
dairy but to feed for it as well."
Talking of feeding calves, a writer
says: "Skimmed milk gives a healthy
growth of flesh and bone, while whole
milk tends also to the production of fat,
especially if fed liberally."
As a feed for fifty fowls, the following
is recommended by one who uses it:
"Four - quart3 of shorts, mixed with
warm water, fed in the morning; in the
afternoon, four or five quarts of cracked
or whole corn; keep warm water by them
through the day, and give one peck of
.oats once a week; also give some hay,
straw or chaff once a week, or keep
ashes, sand or gravel by them." j
Concerning sowing grass seed, one j
farmer says he had rather have one peck
of ln own raising than a bushel of such j
as he can purchase. Prefers the last of j

To take a hearty meal just before re
tiring is, of course, injurious, because it
is very likely to disturb one's rest, and
produce nightmare. However, a little
food at this time, if one is hungry, is
decidedly beneficial : it prevents tho
gnawing of an empty stomach, with its
attendant restlessness and unpleasant
dreams, to say nothing of probable head
ache, or of nervous or other derange
ments, the next morning, One should
no more lie down at night hungry than
he should lie down after a very full din
ner, the consequence of either being dis
turbing and harmful. A cracker or two,
a bit of bread and butter, or cake, a lit
tle fruit something to relieve the sense
of vacuity, and bo restore the tone of tho
system is all that is necessary.

company consisted of three boys ana a

Young Gurly suddenly bloomed out
as a professional, and when his mother

ne knew that the grocer favored
theatrical, and when he got there he
said:
"Art thou provided with a store of
that vegetable known as the 'tater, most
excellent duke?"
"What in thunder do you want!"
growled the grocer, as he cleaned the
cheese knife on a piece of paper.
" Thy plebeian mind is dull of com

"Don't try to get off any of your non

and. "Hamlet" had to come down from
his high horse and ask for a peck of po

" What made you so lonpr i" asked his
mother as he returned.
"Thy grave shall be dng in the cypress

When his father came home at noon
Mrs. Gurley told him that bhe believed
the boy was going crazy, and related
wliat had occurred.
"I see what ails him," mused the
father; this explains why he hangs
around Johnson's barn so much."
At the dinner table young Gurley
spoke of his father as the " illustrious
count," and when his mother asked him
if he would have some butter gravy, he
answered:
" The appetite of a warrior cannot be
satisfied with such nonsense."

Hit Carson the Heont.
Mrs. Jessie Fremont, in a IsrAgtr arti
cle on Kft Carson, the famous scout,
pays a high tribute to his memory.
She says: Carson had cniineutly the

the nature that comes from gentleness
combined with strength, from that innate
sense of justice which give to others

even temperature and the certainty of

calm and heeding.
Sucla nature attracts to iUelf and
retains only what is bet in all it mec t.
and as the character engraven iterlf
upon the countenance, so the many years
frince I had seen Carson had done their
ennobling work so effectually that my
old friend was perfectly in keeping with
the beautiful library of the friend's house
in which we met again.
He had livd what we idealize in
writings and love to read. And almt
lum, too, was the dignity of coming
death.
I had lwn written to from Washing
ton that Carson was there, ill and de
pressed; that he had not consul ted a
hysician yet but thought he had had
the heart iujured in an accident; that if
I would urge him to come to me and tw
well nurrted and see a physician, some
thing might yet be done, although Ids
condition seemed very serious.
Carson had been for years an im
portant part of my life, when it was all
filled with energetic artioa, and hn
true friends in the old home watched for
and protected the absent, and welcomed
them back on the return frcm long ian-
gers; and now that death, and xlitical
diforeifces as relentless, and the war.
Lad completely ended that life, I saw,
for the last time, one- of the few who
had not changl from that old time of
youth and health and friends and a com
plete home.
But Carson was ouly tronbled by my
emotion, and told me, with his own sim
plicity of courage, that he had wvn Dr.
Sayre, who had told him he mifcht live
to "reach his home (at Tuos, nar Santo
Fe)j but that he might also die at any
