A M<\ Ft. I:X I'KKIK.NVK. The stranger from Chicago,ln every truth, hud just parted with hi* last five cents- no, not to relieve a lu-ggar in the street,as heroes of romance sometimes do, but for a rank liaiu sandwich, which, though soled and tippcrcd with day Iwforo yesterday's roll, and veneered with mustard of singular fe rocity, had been to hi lit as modern inaiina in the great wilderness of New York, .lust from Chicago, lie had, on the train, IM-I-II robbed of his satchel and purse, and was now jßMiniless in a strange city, knowing absolutely no one. A member of his fami ly, who h:ol iutemhsl traveling with hint, was detained, aud would not arrive until the following evening. He had uo jewelry, but he was well dressed, well read, and a student of human nature. "Too proud to beg, too honest to steal, He must have a bed, lit* must have a meal." 'This is certainly an ex|s-rience,' he mur mured, as in the pleasant summer night, he sauntered under the electric lights that geiu med Madison Square ; 'and one that would have made Mark Tapley howl with hil ir it v. 'l'll see for the next twenty-four hours what audacity, dr.ss and address c m do in the big no iiojMiiis.' 1 tow u Broadway, past the Fifth Avenue Hotel, tlie mammoth transparency and the electric clock which never wont, ; down past the hotel where Bartholdi should have stopped and didn't ; down opposite the photographer's window, w here stage kings and queens elbowed Un real article, whose chances for continuous royalty seem almost as ephemeral, and so to the Union Square. The park looked calm ami Imautiful. The Loehinvar from Chicago selected an empty bench, and sat down. Little squads of people ill twos and threes moved past him rapidly, mostly upward bound A couple pause I opposite him, irresolute. 'Let's sit down a moment, Jack. I'm tired. Why did'ut we ride ?' 'Cant afford it.' 'Humph ! If we hadn't walked you wouldn't have lent that luau that quarter.' The lady was p-titc, stylish in apjiearance, with diamond earrings, a tailor-made suit, and a French bonnet perched iijkiii suspi ciously blonde hair. H<-r companion was tall, hlnck-haircd,siiien tine turnings and twistings to release him self from his iron casing, but at last he stood upright, Isiiling with indignation. 'What do yon mean, you scoundrel, by as s wilting one in that way?' The 'copper' swung his club in the mad detiiug suggestive manner of his kind, as he replies!, hut in a tone less harsh : 'lt was a bit dark, sir, an' I didn't recognize ye for a gintlcman.' .'No, and nobody would ever reeogniz.e you for one.' 'Aisy, now, aisy, or I'll run ye in.* A night in the station house ! That would indeed solve the difficulty regarding free lodgings, but not satisfactorily. 'l'll report you in themoruing.' 'Now, don't ye give me no back talk. You've got no influence. You're no New Yorker.' 'How do yon know that ?' *l'yc think a New Yorker 'd dare call a policeman a scoundrel ? Go on, now, lie fore I hurt ye.' A push facilitated the Chi cago man's departure. He felt a terrible sense of humiliation as lie walked slowly with aching feet down Fourth avenue to its outlet—'The Land of the Midnight Sun.' That land is surely the Bowery. Music, bar-room, noisy and beery revelers, fruit stands lit by smoking torches, electric and incandescent lights by thousands, punctua ted here and there with gaudy glass lamps, brilliantly illuminated and displaying an nouncements of hotels with high soundiirg names and low sounding prices : 'Beds, 25 cents ; single r00m5,35 cents ; gents only. No, none of these, even if lie had the means. Better the open air. But he can not, footsore as he is, walk about all night. Down through Chatham square and into Park Row he passed. The whirl of the morning paper presses was just beginning, while lights in every window, and a busy flitting to and fro, proclaimed that the events of the day throughout the world were there being photographed for history. He walked wearily about until two o'clock. having tried, in vain, U> slei-p II|M>II the ben ches In City Hall Park. Then a thought struek hint. He was passing the lliooklyu liiidge entrain e as a dozen or so of |N-ople eame tliencu and.bulled a Third avenue ear marked 'Harlem.' He entered with them, eiisrunsod himself in n corner, closed his eyes, learns I baek, and awaited the worst. The party luul been to a wedding in Brook lyn and were profmrt innately merry. One man js'islstisl In paying for all, aniiil the usual effusive ohjeetlons. The recording hell pealisl forth merrily, and our friend felt the eouduetor's hand ii]S)ii his arm. 'Fare, please ?' 'Well how inauy times do you want my fare ? 'Beg pardon, sir ; I thought—,' and the conductor retired. The western waif-rode to Harlem, and slept all the way, though with a troubled conscience. But then ? H* stood on Harlem bridge and gazed moodily Into the water. A steady tramp of feet caused him to look around. They were the p issengers from the east who reached New York at that welnl hour by- way of Harlem bridge. There were only half a dozen of them,and they were making frantie efforts to gain the elevated railroad station at One Hundred and Twenty-fourth str<-et. A woman was among them, and and she tiirmsl, when on the middle of the bridge, and addressed a man who walked eloselv behind her. 'How dare you speak to me, sir !' 'That's all right,my dear miss. No harm iutemhsl. i only offered to escort yon.* 'You insolent puppy, you've done nothing hut insult me since I h-ft Uridge|*trt. 1 on ly wish mv husband was here.' The stranger from Chicago crossed over to where she stood,as her pursuer slunk away. 'Can 1 is* of any service, madam The la dy ga/.ed at hiiu, with a pathetic look in her pretty gray eyas. 'I wish to go to the Windsor Hotel to await my husband, but 1 am a stranger in the eity ami have bc.-n in sulted—' 'You can trust me to escort you, m.ulauie, if von will. Slie jdaces her hand on his arm with a child-like confidence. He relieves her of her satchel, and they art: on the stairs of the elevated road. Good heavens ! lie is penniless ! But site lias taken a dime from her well-filled purse. 'No, no, mail - am, I cannot allow you to. I protest- ' But, much to his gratification, his little 'hluff' was unsuccessful, and they were SMIU in the cars. They left the train at Forty-seventh street. He saw her safely registered at tlie Windsor, ncoepted meekly her protestations of gratitude and her hus band's card, and canglit a last glimpse of ber in tlie elevator flying upward—as an angel should. The night clerk was airily |M)ite. 'Want a riMun yourself, I suppose ?" said that func tionary, as he whirled the register like a pivot gun. 'Thank yon, no. Had too tnueh sleep lately. Reckon I'll sit down in the reading room and think.' He did so, and slept nti distnrbid until 7 o'clock, in a velvet cush* i iuuvtl • lmii-. When In* awoke lie descended to the palatial wash room, freshened him self up with hot and cold water am! scented soap from a marble basin, dried his face and hands on a spick span clean towel, ig nor*d the jsirter with his whisk broom and desire for a dime,dodged tbe bootblack with rare science, and stood in the street, feeling like a four time winner. Now for breakfast and the morning ji- IH-r ? He strolled down a side street filled with fashionable houses. In the doorway of these he saw an assortment of papers that had ls-en left by tbe carrier. The household was not yet astir. He coolly ascended tlie steps, sat down with deli Iteration and read for half an hour. Then, refolding the jour nals, lie left theiu as he had found them nnd sauntered on. Soon he had formulated a plan for breakfast, not more daring than the exigencies of tbe occasion demanded. He sel-ct<*d the handsomest hotel in tlie vicinity, walked boldly in, examined tbe register critically, uttered an exclamation of pleasure, took a handful of tnotpicks, strolled into the bar and out again, ]tnssed up a flight of marble steps, placed bis hat ii|x>n an extension hat rack, tislnsl out some letters and telegrams from his pocket, to look business like, nodded loftily to tlie head waiter, who stood at the entrance of tlie cosy breakfast rm, was obsequiously shown to a choice seat, aud, to a bending servitor lie gave his breakfast order. And such an order ! Quality and quantity were both represented, and he ate with an ap|H*- tite in no way lessened by the thought that the meal would probably he digested in jail. The waiter ! He expected a'tip.' So well served a breakfast deserved one. The head waiter ? lie stood on guard at the diMir. What if he hail the hotel detective lurking in tlie shadow ! To push back his chair, rise with dignity, brush a few crumbs from his coat and walk out, coolly ignoring the expectant waiter was no easy task. How long that dinning room seemed. Ah ! He knew now the feelings of the condemned criminal in his walk to the gallows, only here there was no friendly arm to lean upon. The threshold was crossed at last, add he seized his hat, only to lie chilled to the marrow by f*eling the head waiter's breath U|MUI the hack of his neck. 'What room, sir, please ?' 'Ninety-nine,' he replied, at random, his nerves bracing to tlie situation. He strol led down, turned me first corner, and ran like a thief. He felt like one, too. The balance of the morning he passed in the muling room of tlie Cooper Union, pe rusing many interesting and instructive liooks, hut none which taught him how to still his conscience. 'Pshaw !' he exclaim ed, as he once more trod the streets ; 'when I'm in funds, I'll pay for the-break fast and everything else.' At 1:30 o'clock he stood on the corner of Broadway, Fifth avenue and Twenty-third street. It was Saturday, and the junction of the three great thoroughfares—the busiest in the United States—was alive with carriages, cars,pedestrians on business and pedestrian's on pleasure bent. Stylish women and girls, hound matineeward, added pictorial beauty to the scene, with their exquisite toilets, rosebuds under their dainty chins, daisies topping their summer hats, and their fleecy j garments rivaling tlie sunset clouds in color j ami texture. An omnibus, chartered by an enterprising business linn to convey their j pat: ons far over to the west side free of j charge, stood at the corner. With a chuck- j le of delight at his own audacity he took a seat within it. Alighting after a long ride at the door of the establishment, he walked | quietly down the avenue and entered the Terms, SI.OO per Year, in Advance. flrnnd Opera House building. With much ' inward trepidation, but presenting an out ward KIIOW of virtuous confidence,comliined with a iTrtiin air of lofty scorn, which he rigidly surmised to le a concomitant of t beatrieal character, he was about oiler ing to the doorkeeper tbe pass which he had picked up in tbe park, when bis eye fell upon its original owner, who, with a fasbiou bly dressed lady, stood disconsolately with out the gde. There was but one thing to | lie done. 'lieg pardon, but this pass Is yours, I think, sir?' Tho Thespian smiled joyoinly. 'Certainly, sir, it is ; hut how ?' '1 sat near you iu tho park butt evening, found this where you hid been sitting, and fancied that I should dud you here.' 'You aro very kind, I'm sure. Are jou an actor ?' | Tlio stranger from Chicago thought of Shakespeare : 'All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.' And he iiuhliishiugly replied : 'I am.' 'Then I'll see If Ittisincss Manager Mat thews whotild give you a seat.' That offi cial dbl so, and though separated from his new found friends, the penniless pilgrim | from the Like City saw an excellent play, iu which it was demonstrated that all the p.s>r |s'oplo were saints aud all the rich ones sinners. It was evident that tho au : thor of tli it play li:id never been in an iin jMscuuiotis condition. Six o'clock! Our friend was getting hun gry again. Breakfast will not last a man forever. His brother would not arrive in Jersey City before 9 o'clock It was a long, long walk down to City Hall, hut he arrived there at last, noting on his way how cheap everything seemed—when a jierson was |H*iiniless. Strolling toward Cortland street ferry, he saw a brilliantly lighted saloon. He entered. It was richly decorated, aud a tli rong of gentlemen were busily engaged imbibing, arguing, and examining the real ly valuable art treasures ujsm the walls. A large table near the door was covered J wit It a tempting lunch, free of course, to j '.hose who purchased wet goods iu the es tablishment. How appetizing it looked, I with the snowy cloth and neatly folded nap- I | kins ! Hot soup, radishes, sliced toin:ito.s, ! cold ham and tongue, pit klod mussels, deli- I : pats of butter, a lieu ildering array of l>r*ul | :.ud er.it ki rs, three or four kinds of cheese and a noble joint of cold roast beef. The nervy waif from the West sauntered slowly in among the throng. He examined the pictures critically, t<*>k a clove, wi|ted his mouth ostentatiously as lie approached the lunch counter, and then pitched in. He sampled nearly everything. Once, when ! lie felt that the basilisk eye of a barkeeper was on him, he only cut up an extra slice I ofbi-uf, an I givly hummed "Itock-a-Ttye, Baby," with his mouth full and Ids knee* j trembling in tear. Another trying orde.l j of passing nonchalantly through an ordina ry, everyday dour, and he w is s ifely in fh • ! street once more. Washington iu *rk|cd out as quietly, dust is] himself oft' with his haudkerchief.and entered the cabin. The traiu was on time. The brothers returned to New York in a car ri ige, and drove to the very hotel which the impecunious one had left with fear and trembling. His first act was to liquidate every financial obligation lie had incurred, even to the ferryboat,horse car and theatre. Boston Herald. Not If She Knew It. The door bell of the Vanity house rang at aiiout eight o'clock the other night, and Mrs. Vanity said, excitedly, to her hus band : "There, Charles, I just, know that' the furniture ran was coining witli the new lied-room set we bought to-day, and if it is I just won't receive it, that's all." "Why not ?" asks Mr. Vanity. "Why not ?" rcjieats Mrs. V. "Do you think I'm going to pay $17." for a chamber set and then have it sent out here after dark so none "of the neighbors can soe it when it is brought in ? Not if I kuow my self, 1 don't.".— Detroit tVee /Vess. "Beggarly Airs." There is a growing tendency on the part of some of our young people, who visit or dwell in our cities to put on airs Like a second-hand suit of clothes, tho 'airs' are often misfits. Instead of that honest manliness which should characterize the citizens of a republic we find a sneaking, silly, adburd aping of tho fashions and foibles ot the effete aristocracies of the Old World. William Smith, Esquire, struts a loug Fifth avenue with a dude collar round bis neck and a big cigar in his mouth, and wants everyone to believe that he can trace his ancestry back to some of the titled aristocrats of Bri tain. He drinks champagne, talks loud, and puts on airs. is he ? Why at home he is plain Bill Smith, whose father is a hard working farmer struggling to make both ends meet With a false kindness he gives his son a few dollars and sends him to New York to see life. All the gloss and glitter of the young fellow can easily be rubbed off, aud his ways are but •beggarly airs.'

She would not for the world hare any one believe that she teaches school. Ob, no! But why T Is there any disgrace attached to earning one's living t Rather the opposite : bat it is so high-toned to appear to be able to live without work. Alas 1 for our Republic that such is the esse. It is the ambition of ouryoang men to get a clerkship in a bank or mercantile office in the city, and when thoy get a week's vacation they return borne sporting sham lewelry, cheap, trashy rings, and wearing load-patterned clothes—all done to impress others with the importance of the young man who 'is in business in the city.' Then there are others who put on 'beggarly airs' by pretending tbey are better off than they. An acquaint ance drinks champagne, so must they; a friend pays a dollar and a half to see some star actress, so must tbey even if they have to run into debt to the landlady of the boardiog-house. They haven't stamina enough to say 'I can't afford such an expense.' All such sham and pretence is bat another 'beggarly air,' and is really a disgrace to tbe youth. Young men and young women, be honest. There is no disgrace in being poor : there is no humiliation in hav ing to ackuowkdge that your iucouio will not allow you to iudulgc in ex tra vagence. Don't pretend to be what you are not. Wo glory in ambition, we pr.iiio honest pride, hut let the auibiliou be in u right direction, aud let tbe pride be manly. There is something grand in that pride which says, 'No, I can not afford such and such a luxury.' There is a nobility which far tran seuds that of a duke or a marquis, ia that young man who says, I am a worker. I use my bauds for a living.' The man who earns a dollar by honest work, is worth a thousand idlers, and the one who acknowledges bis true position is of far greater value as a citizen thsn anyone who puts on beg > c arly airs.' AN IRISH FAMILY. Hard to meet a Rent Bill of Seven teen Dollars a Year. A correspondent of the New Or leans Picayune, writing from Ireland, says: One of these carts coming by was in charge of a man and a woman who willingly stopped to talk, and as we rested under tbe thorny hedge and Flo shared her luncheon with tbe woman, I asked her all manner of questions. She was a very good specimen of her class, the wife of a poor, very poor farmer. She was barefooted. Her gown of cheap wool en materiel. A big flimsy brown shawl covered her shoulders. Above it rose a streng neck, a shapely bead covered with reddish hair that had a wave in it, and that was loosely knotted behind. Her face was freckled, sunstained, weather-beaten, her blue eyes smiling. Her person was clean, ber clotbes poor to tbe last degree, her feet looked like huge red and yellow lumps of leather and grestle. Tbey, she and her husband, lived six miles from Killarney. Tbey had a bit of a farm. 'Four cows keep' of laud, that is enough laud to graze year in and year out four cows. In this instance—for a cow's keep varies according to tbe richness of tbe land— their farm consisted of eighteen acres. Most of it was rocky ; there was a bit of bog from which they cut turf to sell and for their own fire. They man aged to raise enough potatoes for their ownuse most years. For this farm they paid to their landlord £3 10s. a year—sl7.so of our money. Besides tbe rent tbey paid all tbe taxes on tbe land and poor rates besides. Tbey bad ten children, most of tbem large enough, only there was no work for them to do. They lived in a wild country spotted with small farms as unproductive as their own; there was no town nearer than Killar ney,no place for the boys to get work. Sometimes some of tbe little ones got a little schooling. For this tbey paid tbe teacher a shilling and a quarter. Their food was only potatoes, milk and stir about—mush made of yellow American cornmeal. Some of the children had never tasted meat in all their lives, nor worn a shoe. The bit of white bread Flo gave her was the first she bad tasted in a year, and she only "tasted" that, slipping tbe rest of it into the bosom of her frock to take home to tbe "babbies." The load of turf, about two barrels, would sell in Killarney for 10 pence. With the ten pence they would buy meal. Tbe donkey that drew their little cart was worth $4. Rival Painters. 'Talking about quick work,' said the artist, 'I painted a complete landscape scene in three days recently.' 'That's nothing,' replies tbe scrape grace. 'Nothing ? I'd like to see an artist who can beat it' 'I have beaten it. I painted a com plete town in one night.'
