Ooniinj to Nw York
AmoDg the hundreds of voting
m-ri who viit our ofRce from time
to time for miTjce and assistHnce
th-ro r'm.i!iT ad cases. Among
these re thoe who hnwe come to
the city on false representation,
expecting to step into business at
once, and rise with great rapidity.
They have met the traveling agents
of New York houses, and those gen
tlemen seemed so jaunty and bright
and free from care, so full ot know
ledge of many worldly things, and
so well acquainted with " Vander
bilt" and k Stewart" and " Astor,"
that the simple young man in the
country has seen avll city life in
dreams that lay in the color of the
rose. He does not know that those
( quick-witted young men are puting
all they have in their clothes, that
in the city they live in very obscure
quarter!?, or if they have a little
room in a great hotel, that they
have to work for their " houses" in
those hotels in labors often more
humiliating than waiting on the
t.ible, and more laborious than carry
ing baggage.
Sometimes there is sheer decep
ti ;i. We have had several cases
fri'tn the South where worn ?n, as
w-ll a- men, have been brought to
New York by glowing descriptions
if the openings here, and the de
jnnnds for workers by those who
knew better. They had sold out
their littl -ock at home and sur
rendered their position to try the:r
f rt'ines in the great city. They
had barely enough to bring them to
NYw York, and landing penniless,
:ivl no- having learned the small
economies ofanewplace, they were
- jon absolutely destitute and spirit
le5?, and funds had to be obtained to
return them to their homes.
A few days ago we had such -a
case in hand. The young man was
a printer. He had a place at home
in which he could make a sub
sistence. A young friend in this
city wrote him a glowing letter,
describing the advantages of New
York, the demand for workmen,
the high pay, and that kind of
thing: together with promises of
doing everything for him if he
would come on. He 6old what he
hid. and came. He presented him
self at the office where his friend
was working at a case. It was a
startling apparition to that friend.
He did not think his correspondent
would have taken his letter seriously!
" it was alia joke 1" he said. He
received barely wages enough to
keep himself from starvation. He
could not help hi3 friend. After
that friend had suffered much in
llph and spirit, a passage was se
cured for him on a steamer, and he
was sent back.
The fact is, there is no place like
a great city in which to acheive a
great success, but unless a man have
?omc money, or much brain and
crront tact, the city will crush him
to death. The vast city is attactive.
People flock from all quarters.
There are ten applicants for every
place- There are at least 15,000
adults in New York between whom
and starvation there intervenes only
the helping hand of public and
private charity. These people can
afford to work for almost nothing.
There are boys here whose parents
must support them, and are willing
that they shall work for a dollar a
WLck rather than do nothing.
Strangers must compete with them.
Advertise that you want a clerk for
$10 a week, and the police will be
compelledjto guard your door from
the throng that will come sweeping
up at the hour. Advertise for a
boy, and men will come in platoons,
sometimes gray-headed men.
There is room enough in New
York for men who can hold it, but
a man must come prepared to hold
his position a long time without
help. A great city is great soil to
a man who has so much sap that he
can live on his sap through a lOT1g
drought. But it is a dreadful
to drudge in. Men work for years
and never rise an inch, and then if
hard times como and they are
thrown out there is nothing for
them.
If you can get the use of a blind
mule and two acres of land, do not
come to New York. Do not come
without money to bring you and
carry you home. If then yon have
a trade or profession, you may
succeed. It is no joke to be thrown
penniless on a vast city. Dr.
Deem, in the "Chrittian Age."

C, SATURDAY,
Tennyson A-Ytrsianto Biag Stared
JLt.
An unfamoas person finds it a
little difficult to bympathixe with
Tennyson's overpowering horror of
the troublesome! affect ion to curi
osity of which he is the object.
Even such extreme cases of hero
worship hs that of the American
who climbed lb..' tree t Pnrringford
to survey its maater at hi leisure,
and that of the bevy of ladies at a
London exhibition, who, occupying
a lounge before outof the special
pictures of the season, and behold
ing Tenuy&on approach for a look,
overwhelmed him with discomfiture
by impressively ceding to him the
entire sofa even these, and others
of their kind, have a humorous side
that might servo to qualify their
impertinence and ill-breeding.
Neither Browning nor George
Elliot is unknown by sight to the
reading world of London: neither
was Thackeray nor Dickens. Did
either of these ever make outcry at
the friendly vulgar glances ? Y'et
it 13 true that no one of them, save
Dickena, has been so widely read,
and it is probable that Browning,
who looks like nothing so much as
a hale, hearty business man, often
est escapes detection, while Tenny
son's late photograph reproduces
him so faithfully that he declares
he can go nowhere without being
known. Of the mischievous fidelity
of the picture I am myself a wit
ness, for having driven up one day
to the Victoria station of tbe Lon
don, Brighton and South Coast
Railway, by which Tennyson's new
home is reached, and being busied
with extricating from my purse the
cabman's fare, "ny companion cud
denly caught my arm, crying out,
" Oh, S , there's Tennyson !"
The purse dropped in my lap : he
was so near the cab I could have
touched him, and of course he had
heard the exclamation and knew
why two ladies had so utterly for
gotten their manners ; but if he had
also known that one of us had a
certain shabby-through-use edition
of all his earlier pOems, which dur
ing a 6pace of a dozen years had
never been separated form her, trav
eling in a crowded trunk for even
the shortest abscences from home
that for months of that time she
had been used to read therefrom to
a precocious child who came every
night in her night gown to nestle in
the reader's lap and listen to the
music without which she declined to
undertake the busines of sleep I
think the look bestowed upon the
absorbed twain might well have been
more amiable than the one which
really (ell upon them and blighted
their innocent delight. It was alt
the photograph's fault, and, enthu
siastic American sisters, be content
with beholding the representation,
for the original looks neither more
patient, more gracious, nor more
hopeful. So sensitive is he to looks
which have in them any recognition,
any stress, that a visitor at Far
ringford relates that wandering
about the cliffs and shores with his
host, the latter would every now
and then nervously cry out, "Come!
let's walk on I hear tourists !" and
his companion, delaying a little,
would be able to answer reassuring
ly, 44 Oh no : see ! there's nothing
in sight but a flock of sheep."
From In the I tie of Wight in Lip
pincott't Magazine for November.
Don't be too Critical. What
ever you do, never set up for a crit
ic. We don't mean a newspaper
one, but in private life, in the do
mestic circle, in society. It will
not do any one good, and it will do
you harm if you mind being calN
ed disagreeable. If you don t like
any one's nose, or object to any
one's chin, don't put your feeling
into words. If any one's manners
don't please you, remember your
own. People are not all made to
suit one taste ; recollect that. Take
things as you find them, unless you
can alter them. Even a dinner, af
ter it is swallowed, can not be made
any better. Continual fault-finding,
continual criticism of the con
duct of this one, and the speech of
that one, the dress of the other and
the opinions of t'other, will make
home the unhappiest place under
the sun. If yon are never pleased
with any one, no one will ever be
pleased with you. And if it is
known that you are hard to suit,
few will take pains to suit you.
Strongly Put. Some one asked
Col. Howard, of Georgia, lately,
if he thought that a certain Radical
in that State would steal. "Steal !"
responded the Colonel : why, were
he paralyzed and hamstrung, 1
wouldn't trust him bj himself in
the middle of the Deaert of Sahara
with the biggest anchor of the
Great Eastern !' Steal ! I should
think he would."

Longevity of Trees
The Wads worth oak, at Genesen,
iNew lork, is said to be fave centu-
nes old, and twenty-seven feet in
ci: cuinterence at the base. 1 he
massive, slow growing live oaks of
i iorula are worthy ot notice, on ac
count of the enormous length of
ti
r n ranches. liartram s :
I hiive stepped fifty tares in a
straight line from the trunk of one
of these ti pe to the extremity
the limbs."
ine oaKS ot r,urope are
amonjj
the grandest of trees. The Cow
thorp oak is seventy-eight feet in
circuit at the ground, and is at least
one thousand eight hundred years
old. Another, in Dorsetshire is of
equal age. In Westph'ilia is a
hollow oak- which was used as a
place of refuge in the troubled times
of medieval history.
The great oak at Saintes in
southern France, is ninety feet in
girth, and has been ascertained to
be two thousand years old. This
monument, still or recently flour
ishing, commemorates a
period
which antedates the first
of Julius Caesar !
campaign
The " Cypress of Montezuma,"
near the City of Mexico is forty
five feet in girth, and its age is es
timated at upward of twenty centu
ries. In the church-yard of Santa
Maria del Tule, in the Mexican
State of Oaxaca, is a cypress which
" Measures one hundred and twelve
feet in circuit, and is without a sign
of decay." At Palenque are cy
presses growing among the ruins of
the old city, whose streets thev
may have shaded in the days of its
pride. By the usual methods the
writer in the North American Re
view calculates the age of the cy
press at Santa Maria del Tule at
five thousand one hundred and
twenty-four years, or, if it grew as
similar trees grow when young, it
would still be four thousand and
twenty-four years old

Who is a Gentleman ?
A gentleman
is
a person uoi
merely acquainted with certain
forms and etiquette of life, easy and
self possessed in society, able to
speak and act and move in the
world withont awkwardness, and
free from habits which are vulgar
and in bad taste. A gentleman is
something beyond this; that which
lies at the root of every Christian
virture. It is the thoughtful desire
of doing in every instance what
others should do into him. He is
constantly thinking, not indeed
how he may give pleasure to others
for the mere sense of pleasing, but
how he may avoid hurting their
feelings. When he is in society
lie scrupulously ascertains the posi
tion, and relations of every one
with whom he comes in contact,
that he may give to each his due
honor, his proper position. He
studies how he may avoid touching
in conversation upon any subject
which may needlessly hurt their
feelings how he may abstain from
any allusions which may call up a
disagreeable or offensive association.
A gentleman never alludes to, nev
er even appears conscious of any
persons' defect, bodily deformity,
inferiority of talent, of rank, of rep
utation in the person in whose so
ciety he is placed. He never as
sumes any superiority to himself
never ridicules, never sneers, never
boasts, never makes a display of his
own power, or rank, or advantages
such as is implied in habits, or
tricks, or inclinations which may be
offensive to others.
Good Advice.
In an address recently delivered
in Georgia by Gen. Toombs, he gives
sound advice to the farmers of the
South which all would do well to
heed. He advised them against the
pernicious habit of borrowing
money to make cotton ; and to live
within their means, making their
provisions at home ; and as regards
the disposition of the present cot
ton crop he thought the best plan
would be to sell enough cotton to
pay their debts at once.
This is exactly what the farmers
of this section ought to do. Only i
Gen. Toombs might go farther and
the planting corn and grain and
hay and roots, also the raising of
meats and other indispensible farm
supplies, that they may abandon
the pernicious habit of growing all
cotton, in many cases even to the
total exclusion of farm supplies.
As long as our farmers keep their
smoke houses aad corn cribs in
some of the Western States they
hare no claim to the title of inde
pendent farmers. It is a ruinous
policy and ought to be discouraged.

When you see a neat, tidy, clean

find a joyous, roving, happy family.
Bat iffilth and squalor, and a disre
gard for refining delicacies of life
prevail in any household, there will
be found in the moral character of
the inmates much that is low, de
grading, unprincipled, vicious and

! in years, we ought to watch eager
! ly against neglect of cleanliness in
person and tidiness in dress. Hall's
Journal of Health.
Stephen Allen's Maxims.
44 Keep good company or none.
Never be idle
If your hands can-
j not.be usefully employed, attend to
the cultivation of your mind. Al-
ways speak the truth. Make few
promises. Lave up to your engage
ments. Keep your own secrets if
you have any. When you speak to
a person look him in the face. Good
company and good conversation are
the vary sinews of virtue. Good
character is above all things else.
Y'our character cannot be essentially
injured except by your own act.
If any one speaks ill of you, let
your life be so that none will believe
him. Drink no kind of intoxicating
liquors. Ever live (misfortunes
expected) within your income.
When you retire to bed, think over
what you have been doing during
the day. Make no haste to be rich
if you would prosper. Small and
steady gains give competency with
tranquility of mind. Never play
at any kind of game of chance.
Avoid temptation, through fear
you may not withstand it. Earn
money before you spend it. Never
run into debt unless you see a way
to get out again. Never borrow if
you can possibly avoid it. Do not
marry until you are able to support
a wife. Npver speak evi! of any
one. Be just before you are gen

you would be happy. Save when

Nearing the Other Shore.
When, after the weary voyage
that I first made across the ocean,
sick and loathsome, I arose one
morning and went upon the deck,
holding on, crawling, thinking I
was but a worm, I smelt in the air
some strange smell, and I said to
the captain, "what is that odor ?" ''It
is the land breeze from off Ireland"
I smelt the turf, I smelt the grass,
i I smelt the leaves, and all my sick
ness departed from me; eyes grew
bright, my nausea was gone. The
thought of the nearness of the laud
came to me. And when, afar off, I
saw the dim line of land, joy, came
and gave me health, and from that
moment, I had neither sickness nor
trouble; I was coming nearer to the
land.
Oh! is there not for you old man,
and for you wearied mother, a land
breeze blowing off from heaven, waft-
ing to you some of itssweetness? Be
hold, the garaen oi txie iora is not
far away. I know from the air.
Behold the joy of home. Po I not
hear the children shout ? The air is
full of music to our silent thought.
Oh, how full of music when our
journey is almost done, and we stand
upon the bound and precinct of that
blessed land! Hold on to your faith.
Believe more firmly. Take hold by
prayer and by faith. A way with
troubles and buffetings. Be happy;
you are saved. In a few hours vi&h
ions of God, and all the realities of
the eternal world shall be yours,
and you shall be sayed with an
everlasting salvation. -

with reminiscences of the-Bonaparte
family relks, little ornaments, ld
portraits, and the hand work of
o Queen Ilortense. The .scenery
around is in itself an education.
The landscape which surrounds the
castle on the land side is one of
surpassing beauty, rich in golden
harvests and emerald meadows.
Before i: lies in placid sweetness the
broad sheet of water, with its rich
ornament, the island, floating in
fairy indistinctness upon its glassy
surface : while behind it, toward
the south, rise in stern grandeur
the ice-covered giants of the Ber
ness Oberland. Here the 'Empress
will teach her son, as his father was
taught before him, the ideas of
Napoleon, the traditions, of the boy,
who appears to have much of the
secretive nature of the dead Em
peror, will dream and dream and
perhaps some day act. Wheu asked
as to a return to Paris, the answer
of the Eupress was :
" We shall await our hour : but no
coup d'etat, no military measures,
nothing but a plebiscite. Such was
the last order 1 received from my
husband." Baltimore Gazettee.
How He Lost the Opportunity.
A useful hint to many young
men may be derived from this little
story which the Springfield (Mass.)
Union prints: " Not long ago a
young man of this effy had a most
favorable opportunity to enter a
business house in the State, at a
large increase over his present sala
ry, with a prospect of soon getting
a place in the firm. His recom
mendations were first-class and the
officers of the institution were de
cidedly pleased with his appear
ance. They, however, made him
no proposals, nor did they state
their favorable impressions- A
gentleman of this city was . reques
ted to ascertain where
the
e young
man spent his evenings
and what
class ot voung men were his asso
ciates. It was found that he spent
several nights cf the week in a bil
liard room on Main street, and Sun
day afternoon drove a hired span
into the country with three other
young men. lie is wondering why
he didn't hear from the house con
cerning the coveted position."
Glad to Accommodate.
A traveller, on his arrival in the
city, stopped for a moment to ex
amine a coat hanging in front of a
clothing store, when the proprietor
ru-hed out, and asked, " Wouldn't
you try on 'some conts ?" I dunno
but I would," responded the trav
eller, consulting his time-killer ;
and he went in and began to work.
No matter how often he foundghisfit
he called for more coats, anl after
he tried on thirty he looked at his
watch, agained resumed his own
garment, and walked off, saying.
" I won t charge a cent for what I
done. Hang a man who want
oblige another when he can do it !
2f I'm ever around this way again,
and yon'e got any more coats to
try on, I'll do all I can to help
you.
A touching incident is reported
from Chattanooga. An utter stran
ger called on a respectable farmer,
recently, and asked him if his
house had not been robbed during
war. The farmer replied that it
had. " I," said the stranger, "was
one of the marauding party that
did it. I took a little locket."
" That locket," said the farmer,
bursting into tears, " had been worn
by my dear, dear child.". "Here
it is," replied the stranger, visibly
affected : " I am rich ; let me
make restitution. Here" is $20 for
your little son." He gave the
farmer a $50 bill, and received 30
in change. He then wrung the
farmer's hand warmly, and laft.
The farmer has since, dried his
tears and loaded his shot gun. The
money was counterfeit.
