THE MONEY LENDER; Or, Too Many in One Basket. ‘ Will you discouirt this note for me V- The question was masked by in the office of a private banker, a man of large fortune, who had retired from busi ness. and now used bis capital for discount ing instead-of in trqde. The shrewd money lender took the note, and after examining; the face, handed it back with a shake off the head, arid a very firm compression on |iis mouth. ‘ It is A number one,’ said the merchant, with almost an amusrid smile, at the pru dence of the money lender. :‘ I have r.o question as to that,’ was replied. *lf I were in business, I should not hesitate to sell the firm to any reason able extent. ‘Why, then, will you not buy their note?” ; A pleasant light cjime into the money lender’s face. He looked knowing, and very selLcomplacent. 1 ‘ I wag in inarket ;the other day,’ said he, ‘ and as I stood buying sonic ti uit lit a woman’s stall, a man, in going by, was crowded against a basket standing thereon, which fell to the pavement. It was near ly filled with eggs, more Rian two-thirds of which were broken. ‘Ah, my good woman,' said I, ‘ the Aid error of too many eggs in one basket. /If you had placed them in two or three baskets, instead of one, this general, wreck would never have occurred.’ ‘ln my business, sir,’ contin ued the money lender, ‘I never commit the error of this market woman. I never place too many eggs fn one basket. Do you understand me t’; ‘ I belieyp so,*, replied the merchant ‘You already have enough of this paper.’ •Just as mpcli aS I intended buying. When some of it is taken up, I will make room for more. These are fixed laws, sir, that govern me in' tibia business, never depart from them. •Good morning,’^said'the merchant, smiling. ‘ I hope ydu will never get too many eggs in one basket. , ‘No fear of that. Ilf a basket is upset and the eggs in it,broken, I shall be able to bear the loss.’ ! , The merchant. 1 withdrew, and the money lender turned over lit his mind the word just spoken, and felt self-complimented at his wise caution ‘ No —no’—he iepeated over and over again/: ‘ They cannot tempt me to place too many eggs in one basket. I am tno old and prudent for that.’ This figure of speech seemed to please the money lender, and lie used it a number i of times during the day, in declining good business paper that was offered. ‘Have I put too m|my eggs in one bask et,-, to day?’, he asked;’of hipiself as he sat alone during the evening that followed counting up, mentally, his gains, and look ing with a feeling of pleasure, at the unusu ally large aggregate ; ‘Let me see! That last note of L. & O ’a came very near to a violation of the rule. There are quite enough eggs ini that basket. I must not venture another/one. But the temp tation of two pgr coat, was hardly to be resisted on such paper which all regard as gilt-edged.’ it was now over five years since our money lender withdrew from productive trade and narrowed down his intellect and his efforts to the simple business of buying paper, which the holders were un able to get done in bank. During that period he had added largely' to his waelth while his desire for accumulation had grown stronger, and manifested itself in a more eager reaching out after, and draw ling of '.he gold that perishes. As a mer chant he had been liberal, generous, kind hearted; and oilmen spoke of him as such. But the yvorit of mere money getting, out side of any productive use in society, had brought {he interior of his mind into new associations ; and his heart was steadily hardening. Every day the circle of his thoughts narrowed itself; every day his heart stooped lower and lower in adora tion before the miser’s god. Others saw the change l —spoke of it, and regretted it. But as he grew richer find richer, and the worshipers of riches bent to him in flattery, he imagined himself to be growing better. ; i i - 11. C. BERK. ‘ Too many Icjggs in one basket,’ he re peated to himsejlf, as be sat musing in Ins luxurious easy chair ; neVei for once think ing of iho struggling young merchant, with whose profits on a sale of! five hundred dol lars he had clipped off a six mouths note that day ; a note as us any he had bought during the past week. ‘ Top many eggs in one basket! No —no. I am too shrewdi for that!’ Drowsily was this murmured, as he laid his head among the cushions. IJis next consciousness was in another world. Ho dreamed that he had passed through the dark portal of eter nity, and that to ! him the judgement from the Hook of his Lite had come —a jiidgp ment that was tq reveal his true slate, and fix his everlasting habitation with those who loved the neighbor as themselves; or with those who‘loved and cared only for themselves. He did not find himself in the presence of an august, Divine Judge, but in a chamber, with translucent walls and ceiling, where were gathered a small as semblage of people, to the centre of which he was led by one who seemed to possess a singular power over him. Here, seated and a little elevated above the rest, were two beings,—one: with a countenance of heavenly beauty, land the other wilhafaco the cruel expression of which caused a shudder lo go thrilling to his heart. A book lay open before them, and he knew it to be a Book of his Life, wherein were written every purpose of his heart, with every act and deed. The money lender had come to judgement. With a hopeful countenance the angel began turning the leaves of the book, up on whigh both her eyes, and that of the demon, were fixed with an earnest gaze. The period of childhood showed a fair and hopeful record. The tender, merciful, lov ing impressions made upon the heart of her child by a wise and good mother, who looked forward to a meeting with her son in heaven, were every where visible. The budding soil gave a fair promise for the fruit and flower. Early manhood’s record was also full of encouragement. There was an eager look ing forward into life, and an earnest'will towards success. But, united with this, were generous purpose toward others, and great humanilary schemes to be wrought out for (he world’s good, when the money power to work should come within his grasp. The light and hope beamed in the angel’s face, as page after page of the book was turned ; while the demon sat dark and scowling; The middle period showed less fairly, as to (he ends of life —and it was into these that the angel and (lie demon looked most narrowly. The aid was never judged of as it stood alone—it was by the motive that its quality was determined. A gentle sadness began to shadow the angel's beautiful countenance, while dimly seen in the demon’s -face was the light of triumph. Many acts of benevolence; ma ny words of good counsel to others ; many declarations of noble, generous, purposes were written down; but they were seen as deeds with - selfish ehds as their prompters, and words that were only from the ‘teeth outward.’ More and more asi wealth rolled into the raei chant’s cof fers, and he gained a higher and higher place in the gopd opinions of men, did he bury bis thoughts in selfish purposes, and put forth his strength fur himself alone, as if ho were ihe .chietest thing in God’s cre ation. His name was on subscription pa pers, for charitable uses, to a large amount; but, when the angel and the demon went behind the record, what did they find 1 A generousdesire to benefit the suffering or help the week ?, Alas! no. They saw, instead; an Extorted benevolence, in most instances; done for the eyes of men, and succeeded by a self complacent gratulation. in the loss pi so much of, his dearly loved gains, that ‘ charity covers a multitude (t sins!’ * Sadder and sadder grows the angel’s face ; brighter and brighter, with an evil triumph, the face of the demon. . At last came the closing years of life, when the useful merchant sunk down into [independent in evebtthing.] ALTOONA, PA., SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1864. the eager money lendeil. Previous to this, gleams of better purposes would throw a. hopeful over a page, and lighten "the saddening angel’s face. But the record now had in it little <jf variation, and no passage of-light. Desire moved on in an even current, and thought .had free course under the pressure of desire There was the one desire to get money, and the oho thought about the surest means. The face of a man—the fqrm of a man—the step of a man—but quickened,his avari i cious impulses. He was a great tumor, absorbing the rich blood of trade, andgrow | ing larger and larger, as healthy, working organs in the man or society, became weak er from impaired vitality. Gold had be come the god before wl|om he bowed down in daily adoration. He loved nought else: and though, from a lingering desire to ap pear well in the eyes of his fellow men, yet in every such act there was the effect to compass a worldly advantage that man - ed the record in his book of lite. : Thus for instance, he hud given liberally to the erection of churches, but only when they were to be located near his property, the value of which would be improved thereby far beyond the sum of his subeription. As the last page of the book was turned the angel breathed a deep sigh and faded from the money vision ! ‘Too many eggs if) .one basket!’ said the demon, in a voice qf triumph, as he bent his malignantfacej so close that Ids hot breath almost suffocated the terrified money lender, wno started into wakeful life as he felt himself clutched by the de mon’s vice like hands! passed before his, wildly throbbing heart calmed itself down to its wonted even pul sations. ‘ Only a dream—a foolish dream!’ be said to himself, as he vainly tried to rise above the depressed state of feeling which the mercifully sent vision had left behind. But conscience told hipi that it was more than a dream, and that, while in all worldly produce he was careful not to get too many eggs in a single basket, jin matters of eter nal interest he had one basket only and in that the price of his soul was resting. He shuddered as the thought fixed his mind, and overwhelmed jill his convictions. ‘What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul; or what will a man give in exchange for his soul’ It seemed like the voice of his mother, speaking hack to him from the years of childhood. ‘God help me!’ he said, with a shudder. ‘ I am not. in the right path.’ Did he go back to hjs eager money lend ing? We know not The dream was sent in mercy, and let us hope that it wrought upon him its high and holy mis son. ‘ 1 An Uncalled Fob Amen. — A corres pondent of (lie Methodist Protestant re lates the following story, which is too good to |>e lost: ‘ A very sensitive preacher in a certain village, not more than a hundred miles from Baltimore, wiis discoursing with great warmtli on the-uncertainty of human life. To give the greater effect to his re marks, after assuring his hearers that they might die before an hour elapsed, he said, “ And I, your speaker, may be dead be fore ano'her morning dawns.” “ Amenwas the audible response of a pious and much beloved brother in the congregation. The preacher was evident ly disconcerted for a moment.. He thought the brother misunderstood Ida meaning. Pausing awhile, he repeated the declara tion, ‘before another hour your speaker many be in eternity!’: ‘Amen! again shouted the brother before him. It was to much for the sensitive man. and stammering out a few additional re marks, he sat down before be had near Unshed his discourse. ‘Brother x E ,’ sasd the i preacher next day, to his kind 1 carted friend of the amen corner, ‘what ijlid you mean by saying Amen to my remarks last night.— Do you wish 1 was Head I?’ ‘Not at all,’ said the good brother, ‘not at all. I thought that if you should die, you would go straight [to glory, and 1. mean ament to that V , ; ■ '— —| : ” The Force pf Habit. — In the Dublin University Magazine wei have a biograph ical sketch of Peter Burrows, the celebra ted barrister, and among the personal an ecdotes told of him is the following: A friend called upon him one morning in Ids dressing-room, and found him sha ving, with his face to the wall. He ask ed why ho chose so strange, an His answer was, to look in the glass. “ Why,’ said his fried, “there is noglass there.’ “ JBless my soul !” cried Burrows, “Idid 'not notice that before.” ■ Kinging the bell, he called his servant and questioned him respjecting his looking glass. | , “.Oh, sir,” said the servant, “mistress had it removed six tceeka ago. <9* Tell not your secriatain a corn-field, i t has thousands of ears. - Parents’ Example befobetiieik Chil dren. —There is a great diversity of opin ion in regard to the age when children are capable of understanding what they see and bear—when they are old enough to mind what is told them. How often have we heard .mothers exclaim, “When miy child is old enough U understand, I am go ing to have him do diffidently ; lam going to teach him thus and iso, and I am going to : make him mind.” ; How much older need a child he to lenrn to do right, than to understand that he; may do wrong t Mother, how old was that little one, when lying in your arms, he first began to raise those smiling eyes, and’recognise in you his dearest earthly .friend? iAnd. when seated on the floor or in the arms of anoth er, you came into his presence, how soon did he understand that the ourfitretelling of those tiny arms to iyou were pleadings that you could not refuse ? I was deeply impressed, a short lime since by the relation of a little incident by a mother. She had two dear little boys, the younger not yet three years old, Great care had been taken by the parents to set a, good example before them I o' do 'right It was the custom of the father to always ask a blessing before partaking food. One day as they were gathered arcund the fam ily board, tjje little ones by their side, the father says to the mother, ‘‘You ask a bles sing this time.” She dropped her lead and replied, “I do not leel as if I could.” Several days passed; the their play one day had set their hie with dishes, placed on it the food their mother had given them, and seating them selves to partake of it; the older one says to the younger, who had not yet seen three full summers: , Won ask the blessing Jo-day.” The little one replies in the very language the mother had used, “I do not leel as if I .could.” The mother was near and had heard her own refusal to thank God for his blessing repeated by her dear child whom she did not think quite old enough*to un derstand. She said, “ I never felt so re buked for my unfaithfulness in ajl my life.” Can parents begin too early to set a good example before theii children? Do not think they are quite old enough to under stand. John Smith,—John Smith, plain John Smith is not very high-sounding ; it does not suggest aristocracy; it is not the name nf any hero to die-away novelty; and yet it is good; strong and honest. Transferred to other languages it seems to climb *the ladder of respectability. Thus in the fjltiii it is Johannes Smith; the Italian srauftlies it off into Giovanni Smith; the Spafinrds render it Juan Stnithus; the Dutchman styles it Hans Schmidt; the French flatten it out into Jean Sracels; and the Russian sneezes and barks JonloifF Smittowski.— When John Smith gets into thetea-trade at Canton, lie becomes Jabon Schmit; if he clambers about Mdur.t Hecla, the Icelan ders say he is Jahne Smithson ; if he trades among the Tnscarorns,i he becomes Tom Qua Smittia; in Poland he is known ns Ivan Schmittiweiski; should he wander among the Welsh mountains, they talk ol Jolion Schmid; •'hen be goes to Mexico lie is looked at as Jentli F’Smitti; if of classic turn, he lingersiamong Greek ruins, lie turns to ion Sinilktqn : and in Turkey he*ss recognized as Yap Sees. A Desperate Man. —A remarkable arrest was recently mand ,in the Tyrol. A man named Gasser had threatened to kill his wife. She tjed to a neighbor, whose dog was thereupon shut by Gasser. Two 'gens d'uimes Were sent to arrest him. These lie shot. A person coining up to take away the t-orpse Of one of the killed was also shot.; This roused the neighbor hood and anthori'ies,! who laid regular siege to the culprit in his house. Several of them were also shotand mortally woun ded. One hundred balls were fired at bis house during the day and night,' but Gas ser still remained uninjured. The next ■day two cannon were brought up and discharged; still with jut result, Untill. a storming party, taking from the lull in Gasser’s lire, rushed into the bouse and found their man bleeding and wounded on the floor, entirely exhausted, his veins opened at the wrists, aud flowing-forth his life blood. The scene took place at Lautcrach. Madam,” said a very polite trave ler to a testy old landlady, “if I see pro per to help myself to this milk is there any impropriety in it?” “I don’t know whafyon mean; but if you mean to insinuate that (here is any thing nasty in the milk, I’ll give yon to understand that you’ve struck the wrong jiquse! There ain’t a first hair 1 in ‘ it, for, asjsoon as Dorutliy Ann told me (hat the cat was drowned in the milk I went straight and strained it over.” The young man fainted. B®, Truths the most awful and myste rious are too often considered as ao true that they lose all the life and efficiency of truth, and lie hid in iiie dormitory of the" soul, side by side with the most despis ed tutors. ■ i "■ EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. PATRIOTIC DRINKING. Speaking of sipping, we are reminded of a genuine touch of imbibulatory logic that readies us under the title of Patriotic Drinking. ' . . - - A man came to town the other a little heavy about Ul9 head, and fearing that he might be suspected of drinking a little too freely, apologized to the crowd of bystanders in the following eloquent and patriotic language: m “ Now 1 ax you tellers who’s the best citizen, him as supports the Government, or him us dosen’t? Why him as does, in course. 1 supports Government, fellers— every man as drinks support Government. That is he drinks taxed licker. Every blessed drop of licker ho drinks is taxed to; pay them big officers at Washington and: support the war. Sposo all was to quit a ■ drinking, way the war must stop and the ; government fall—it couldn't help it no' bow. That’s ! lie werry reason I drinks. : I don’t like grog—l mortally liates it.
