THE CAST-OFF LEATHER APRON.
Those who fare at all acquainted in the
pleasant village of Fairbush, must have noti
ced, in a central pirt of it, a large three-story
house.now mouldering todecay,but which
once in lofty pride overlooked the more mo-
uest ana iiumoie tenements m tne neighbor-

rai, wmcn may oe oi use to tnose who are
ambitious of stepping out of the walks of
life for which nature-ami education have fit
ted them, and who are vainly desirous of
forgetting the humble but honest means by
which they have risen to wealth and respec-
tabiluy
Fritz Pigiron began life in the capacity of
a DiacKsmun. At tne close ol nis appren-
t t i
I " t I j a
ucesnip, nis wnoie possessions were com
prised in t his freedom suit," and he was
obliged to labour for sometime as a journey
man, to earn money sufficient to set? himself
up in business.; Ambitious of appearing be-
fore the world as a master mechanic, he con-
tented himself with fa very humble stock of
.1 a
materials in the outset ; an old anvil, two or
three hammers, a pair of broken winded bel
lows, and a few pounds of iron, were all
he had to begin with. But Fritz was noted
for his industryand economy. The sparks
began to rise from his forge before the stars
had gone out in the morning ; and the sound
of his hammer continued in the evening af
ter all the village around was buried in the
silence of sleep, j Fritz was besides a com
plete master! of his trade. No son of Vul
can could turn his iron pn the anvil with
more dexterity, or '. ply the hammer with
more decided and proper effect. And albeit
he did not aspire to the dignity of forging a J
a thunuer-boit, no mortal man could mould
.1 'a .
a horse shoe, pare a hoot, or drive a nail to
better advantage than Fritz Pigiron.
With such ability and such habits as these
Fritz soon began to rise from his low estate,
and in a short time fairly shook hands with
poverty, that is to say, lie was clear of debt,
nau procured nimseit a good set ot toots, a
handsome stock ;of iron and steel, and had
money beforehand. He spent nothing un
necessarily, laid out nothing in fine clothes,
and evidently regarded his leather apron as
the most becoming part of his apparel. He
married a wife' as industrious and economi
cal as himself; and though children flocked
in upon them, they nevertheless in the course
of time rose to absolute wealth.
Industry always deserves, and wealth
usually commands respect. . On both these
accounts it was very fully accorded to Fritz
Pigiron and his iamily. He was regarded
as an industrious and thriving man : as one
who had raised himself from the lowest pov
erty to be the richest among his brother me-
chanics ; and himself and family were res-
pected accordingly. ' I
Fritz had hitherto occupied a moderaie
sized, but very!convenient house, and as well
calculated to insure the comfort of his family
as one thrice its size. But alas, for the in-f
fluence of immoderate desires! Fritz, in an
evil hour resolved on pulling down and
buUding-bigger. Accordingly materials were
procuredT'hd workmen employed at great
expense, and a house three stories high, and
every way three times as lar?e as was neces-
- y J i o
sary to accommodate his family, was erected
in its stead. Superb houses demand costly
furniture, and great deal of it; and neither
rruz nor nis raniuy seemeu willing mat a
mansion withso fair an outside should be
wanting in its interior decorations. In short
there was not a house in all the village of
Fairbush, which ( could equal that of Fritz
Pigiron in lite loftiness of its size or the
costliness of its furniture.
During the; building of this house, the
neighbors of Fritz, and especially his brother
mechanics, while glancing at the work, would
frequently indulge in such expressions as
these Pridd will have a fall.' 'Neighbor
Pigiron is becoming rather disordered in his
upper storv. ! It's "a wonder if the top of his
house don't find the bottom of his purse V
and they finally christened the house by the
name of Pigiron1 s Follv.
But where is the use of a fine house and
costly furniture, if one cannot exhibit them
to fine company. So thought Frilz.so thnug.it

first
in the village, of course, could be ad

me rigirons said, and never invited into
good society.;'
Fritz Pigiron now began to be ashamed of
jjs occupation,: and to regret that he had ever
been a blacksmith.; If he was ashamed of it,
s daughters were! still' more so, and would
bave given all the silk" in th$ir wardrobes if
the stain of charcoal had never come over
the hands of Mr. Pigiron. But as the nast
could not be recalled, it was resolved that no
time should be lost in wiping oat the stain
for the future. Accordingly, the leather apron
of Fritz, to which he owed all his present
consequence, was cast aside in scorn : the
anvil was heard td sound no longer; the very
shop itself was razed to the gronnd, and eve-
ry trace qi n removed trom sight -in a word
Fritz Pigiron set up for a gentleman.
out it is the misfortune of those who quit
their own sphere and usurp a place in a higher
to feel insecure in their new station ; to im
agine that every body considers them as in
truders, and under those impressions, to take
all imaginable pains to prove their claims to
the rank which they have but lately assumed.
They are apt to launch out into a sea of ex
travagance, in dress, furniture, and equipajre,
and not only so, but exhibit a haughtiness
of carriage which has no oarallel anion?
those whose claims to superior rank are not
likely to be disappointed. They endeavour,
especially, to separate themselves as far as
possible, from their former associates, and
those whose rank they have endeavoured to
abandon, lest the appearance of intimacy, or
even ot friendly recoffiution. should be con
strueu into an acknowledffment ol eaua ltv.
i . ' " .
They are constant v acting on the defensive
C3 J
and
J L , - " - . . .
ueirav ineir own origin dv tneir over
anxiety to conceal it.
This was precisely the case with Fritz
Pigiron and his famiiy. Every nerve must
be strained to make a show. Their former
acquaintances must be abandoned of course.
It itso very vulgar,' said they, to associate
witK'mechanics ! 'Lud,' exclaimed the Miss
Pigirons, jthat any body should presume to
think of going into good society' with their
hands befouled with the dirt of the shop !'
but the shop, like the evil genius of Brutus,
was every ready to appear to them at Phi
lippic The sound of an anvil struck them
dumb ; the grating of a file set their teeth on
edge; and the very mention of an apron threw
them into hysterics. The youngest child was
once the innocent cause of great mortification
a a - ?
to the elder part of the family, and drew upon
itself a severe chastisement for its infantile
thoughtlessness. It was in ' good society,'
and the child said, Pa, pa, why don't you
wear your leather apron as you used to do,
and' Shoh ' shoh !' said Fritz, stonninor
a
the child's mouth with his hand ; what's
the child a dreaming about? assure as I am
alive the child's crazy here, do take it out
of the room Mrs. Pigiron.' The good lady
did as she was requested, but in no gentle
manner, for she nearly jerked off the child's
arm. 1 he Miss rigirons blushed and huge-
tec! , and endeavored to draw off the atten-
tion of the company from the unlucky child.
by making some unmeaning observation
bout the weather, asking the gentlemen's
opinion of the last novel, how they liked the
last Sunday's Sermon, and whether they
were fond of music all of which subjects
had been two or three times discussed before.
As for the offending child it was sent to bed
without its. supper, and the next day severe
ly chastised for its innocent mention of the
leather apron.
At length Fritz Pigiron and his family
contracted so great and such a morbid sensi
bility on the subject of his former occupation,
that the very sound of an anvil half a mile off,
or the sight of a leather apron on one of
their industrious neighbors, was found to be
an insufferable anuovance. ,iney would
a a a
fain have had every blacksmith banished
beyond sight and hearing. :
From his extravagant mode of living, and.
the great expense of supporting his gen-
tlemanly pretentions, the affairs of Fritz be
came embarrassed. He was daily' running
in debt, suits were entered against him, jexe-'
cutions were levied on his property, and his
costly furniture was sold, one article after
another, by the sheriff; and at last the house
itse,f was brougnt under the hammer. Fritz
was allowed a week's time to procure and re-
move to an humble dwelling ; but on the last
day previous to his expected departure,
strange noise being heard by the family in
the upper part of the house, search was
a
made, and lo ! in one corner of a room lay
Fritz Pigiron with his head enveloped in his
cast off leather apron, on removing which
he was found to be black in the face, and the
vital spark extinguished.
How the leather apron came to be preserv
ed after the transformation of its owner, and
his consequent apathy to every thing con
nected with his former occupation, was at
this time, and continues to be even to this
day, a matter of ceaseless wonder in the
village of Fairbush. Hut so it was as if the
badse of his early prosperity, when cast off
and despised should still continue in exist
ence, only
death.

This is to certify,-that about twoyeara
go, while we lived in Wake County, 10
miles North of Raleigh, my Wife was reduced so low
by the Bilious fever, that myself, and the visiting
neighbors thought she was really in a dying condition
The best Physician in the neighborhood had exerted
himself to cure her, but without success. As a last
and almost hopeless resort, I hastened to Mr. Pick's
in Raleigh, for a box of Brandreth's Pills, and in two
hours after taking ten of them, she discharged a quan.
tily of thick bile, and was evidently much rellieved
Another dose of eight Pills, gave her complete relief ;
she then recovered fast, and soon was more healthy
than she had been before, and continues so to this time.
I use no other medicine io my family but the Pills,
and those, with the most desirable effect.
