The racing river leaped and sang
Full blithely in llie perfect weather.
All round the mruntain echoes rang, I
For blue and green were glad-together.
This rained out light irom every part. t
And that with song* of joy was thrilling;

i There ached a place that wauted tilling.
Before the mad and river meet,
And stepping atones are wet and glisten,
i 1 heard a sound of laughter sweet,

Then turned the hedge, and did not know—
How could I—that my time was coming.

I So far the shallow flood had flown
Beyond the 'customed leap of landing. 1
She knew not uny need of me. j
Vet me she wuited ail uuweeting: I
We thought not I had crossed the sea, I
And half the sphere to give her meeting, i
I waded out, her eyes I met,
I wished the moments had been hours;

Her dainty feet utuong the flowers,
Her fellow maids in copse and lane,

j The cushat's coo, the water's falling.

And now |KjsBeBMOU crowns endeavor;

To see the n:od< of doing business in
i Spain, take the simple story of one day's
, wtirk of" mine in getting some money in
' Madrid. Holding a "letter ot citdtt, " which
I is promptly honored in any pait> f the world,
j and is just as good for tho gold iti Cairo or
| Calcutta as it i„ it, London, L went in search
! of a Spanish banker to draw a hundred
; pounds sterling, say five hundred dollars,
j Atiastazin, my coulter, ltd the way, and
soon brought u.- tothe house where the man
of money held his couit. Being shown up
stairs, through two or three passages and
an ante-chamber, we were at length ushered
in the presence. Senor Romero, the banker,
was a uian of fifty, dressed, or rather un
dressed, in a loose morning gown or w tapper,
a red cap on his head, slippers on his feet,
aud a pipe in his mouth. A cletk was sit
ting near to do his bidding. 1 presented
uiy letter. It wascarelufly read, first by the
clerk, then by the principal. A long con
sultation followed, carried on ill a low tone
and in Spanish, quite unintelligible to tue,
if it had been audible. It was finally di
termiued to let tne have the money, and
alter an amount of palaver, sufficient for the
negotiation of a government loao from the
Rothschilds, and taking the necessary receipt
and draft from tue. 1 was presented with a
check on lite Bank of Spam. When I had
fancied the delays were over, they had only
ju-t begun. The tank was in a distant pait
of the city, and thither we ha.-teued. taking
a eati to save all the time we could. The
bank is a latge and imposing edifice of white
stone. Iti the vestibule was a guard ol
| soldiets. A porter stopped us as we were
| about to enter the inner door. We must
i await our turn as some one else was inside!
1 Owe at a time was the rule Benches were
! there and we sat down, admiring silentlythe
; nuxirration of banking business in Spain,
iAt length our turn came. W e entered a
. room certainly a hundred feet long. Tables
i extended the whole length. Behind them
' sat eleiks very busy doing nothing. We
were told to pass on, and on, to the lowct
end of the room, where we entered another,
I lie back patter, or private room of the
officers. They were closeted out of sight,
-nioking of course, and giving their wisdom
to the business in hand. I pies nted the
check at. a hole nut of which a band was put
Ito fake it. I saw nothing mure. \\ e sat
( down and Waited. Waiting is a Spanish
institution. Everybody waits. Nobody cots
I anything without it. We waited and waited,
anil watted, and at Just the little hole opened
i again, ihe tnysteiioutt hand was thrust out.
: with the money, vou suppose; not a
bit, bet with the check approved. We must
: present it at the table or counter for pay
ment. Returning to the long room, we
i presented the cluck and were directed to
the proper bureau. And here, of course,
: we got the Ho ney. Not yet Bills of the
I Bank of Spain were given us, and when 1
; required the gold. I was told lliat gold w"
| paid only at ihe bureau of the bank in
' another street. Thither we now pursued
I our weary way. It was a rear entrance of
the same tank building. A hmg line of
1 gold hunter* was ahead of us. We stood iu
: the cue and at last were inside. In the ante
room we had to wait so long that we took to
the bench again. At iasf, adim-sinn being
granted, we were told that only one could be
> admitted with u single draft. We sent
Auastazio in, and returned to ihe door.
IL re we wetetold tiuit no exit, only en
Irthicr was allowed at the rear! Exp anting
the case, we got nut, and returning to the
front, patiently a* possible, we looked for
the appearance of Auastazio loaded with
g!d. At la.-t. for lire longest delay has an
end, the man i merged w'nh the money in
his hands. It had cost uie from two to
three hours in the middle of the day to draw
this money. which in New Voik. London,

1 Sj iiii is one of the last countries whore they J
* could become popular ; but the business ol
any kingdom that has relatiuirs with the

telegraph, or it cannot hold its own. In
traversing wild and secluded parts of the j
Peninsula, 1 have been surprised by finding ;
the telegraph pol-s set up and the wile j
stretching oil, over hill and dale. Spain i- ,
slow, and the tclegiaph is not demanded
here by the energy and enterprise of the
people as it is elsewhere, Dispatches ol i

To or from any pait of the Peninsula U;ti!
wolds may be sent for about twenty five
cents, twenty woids for titty cents, thirty

includes each word written by the sender,
date, addiess, signature, and if a word is
underscored it counts two. Great preeau
tious are taken to insure accuracy in trans
mission, and a stuail t xtra charge is made

Tfiese de.'ails are to show that Spain is
coming mi iu the race ol nations * v :u
mciidahle progress; not fast, indeed, hut
then she is not stationary. Her railroads
are now hiinging the capital into close com
munion with her seaports, and with foreign
countries. Ali the chief commercial ctlies
are reached readily by lail or by water.

to one leg and one tusk. By means of this

YOUHTT SES-BUSINESS DEN.
•
It iseasier to be a good business man than a
poor one. Half of the energy displayed in
keeping ahead, that is required to catch up
when behind, will save credit, give more
iiue to atteed to business, and add to the
profit and reputation of those who work for
gain. Be prompt. Keepyourwork. HoDor
youf engagements, if you promise to meet
a man or do a certain thing at a certain
moment, be ready at the appointed time.
If you have work to do, do it at once, cheer
fully, and therefore more speedily and cor
rectly. If you go out on business, attend
promptly to the matter. Do not stop to
tell stories in business hours.
If you have a place of business, be found
there wheu wanted. No man can get rich
by sitting around stores and saloons. Never
" f'oi >1" on business matters. If you have
:o labor for a living, rememder that one
hour in the moving is better than two at
night. If you employ others, be on hand to
see that they attend to their duties, and to
direct work to odvantage. Have order, sys
tem, regularity, promptness, liberally. Do
not meddle with business youknow nothiug
of. Never buy an article simply because
t lie man who sells will take it out in trade.
Tiade is money. Time is money. A good
business habit and reputation is always mon
ey. .Make your place of bu.-iness pleasant
ami attractive, then stay there to wait on
customers.
Help yourself and others will heip you.
Be fail litul over the interests confided to
your keeping, and all in good time your res
ponsibilities will be increased. Do not be
in great haste to get rich. Do not build un
til you hare arranged and laid a good foun
dation. Do not —as you hope or work for
succes-* —spend time in idleness. Pay as you
go. A man of bonorrespects bis word as lie
does bis bond. A-k, but never beg. Help
others when you can, but never give when
you cannot afford to, simply because it is
fashionable. Learn to say no. No necessi
ty of snapping it out, but say it firmly and
respectfully. Have but tew confidants—
and the fewer the better. Use your own
brains rather than others. Learn to think
and act for yourself. Be honest. Be vigil
ant. K-ep ahead rather than beh : nd the
times. Young men, note this, and if there
is fbllv in the argument, let us know. You
must test it thoroughly, as, sooner or later
practical life repeats its experiences.
How TO ADVERTISE.— The Inside Track
says some good tliingsin the following article,
which may be of practical value to some of
ou'- readers;
An advertisement is not always valuable
in proportion to the space it occupies.
A short advertisement four times is better
than a verv long one once. "Brag is a good
dog, but Hold fast is a better.".
A prominent advertisement once or twice
will le effective, if followed up by a steady
card giving your business and address. _
Don't take down your sign in dull times.
—People read newspapers all times of the
yea i.
If business admits of it, several small ad
vertisements, with your name repeated
every time, will avail more than the same
collected, with your name in only once.
Don't fear to have a small advertisement
hy the side of a larger competing one. The
big one can't cat it up.
Small advertisements, and plenty of them
is a good rule. We were all babies once,
vet we made considerable noise.
A BATON A SPREE. —As a clerk in a
Syracuse diug store entered the liquor eel

he discovered a large rat standing on his
hind legs.drinking whisky as it dropped from
faucet that had Dot been properly closed.
As he nenred the rat, he made a very awk
ward effort to escape, but ho reeled an i
staggered like a drunken man. The clerk,
pleased with the comial predicament of the
unfortunate "animal," allowed him, after
several zigzag movements, to enter has

A FACT FOR TIIF. LABORING BAN.
Every man able to tead, has already In
formed himself of a faer, which should warn
the whole people aerioualy to reflect. The
fact to which we allude, shows that neither ,
"resident, bis eunstUutiooal adri/fegSf
or hw political organs have yet ottered a
word or taken a position In furor of protec
ting unite labor. Mr. Johnson aod bia
friend* are constantly engaged io effort* to
how that tins is a ichit crawi* government.
What have they done thus far. as possessors
of official power, to aire force and practical
effect to this fact? The white laboring men
and mechanics of the North are now suffer
ing indescribable burdens. They pay the
greater part of all taxation; they support
the government with the labor of their
hand-; they procured ita release from rebel
lion, with, the blood of their,bodies and suffer
ed all-the deprivation entailed by tha war;
hiil what hat Andrew Johnson, hi* Cabinet
Officer*, or hi* organs done to refeave the
white man of any of hi* burden*? The Presi
dent's Message shows no interest in the wel
fare of the white laborers and mechanics;
the reports oj the Secretaries show no in
tention of procuring protection for the pro
ducers; for the Administration among the
newspaper press devote no space to secure
the rights of white labor, while the mouth
pieces of the President in Congress never
utter a word on tha same subject. All
those statesmen, orators and organs are in
favor of a white tnan'r government, not s
government oti white laborers and mechanics,
but an oligarchy of white traitor*. The
interests of the white labor of the north; the
laborer that toils before the furnaee beat,
that bends at the aovil, thinks at the work
bench, and sweats in the field, is ignored.
These white men are loss sight of in Andrew
Johnson's venture aod solicitude for trai
tors—white traitors, on whose pride he is
anxious to found a vhitc man'* government-.
How do the laborers and uiechao'cs of the
old free State like Andrew Johnson's ideas
ofa whit-Anan'sgovernment?— State Guard.
SHE WOULDN'T MABKT A MECHANIC.
—A young man commenced visiting a young
woman, and appeared to be well pleased!
One evening he called when it was quite
late, which led the young lady to enquire
where he i.ad been.
'I had to work to night.'
'What! do you work for a living?' the
enquired in astonishment.
'Certainly,' replied the young man 'lam
a mechanic.'
'I dislike the name of a mechanic," and
she turned up her pretty nose.
That was the last time the young man vis
ited that ye-ig woman. He is now a
wealthy man, and has one of the best wom
in the county lor his wile.
The lady who disliked the name of a me
chanic is now the wife of a miserable foci—
a regular vagrant about grog shops—and
the soft verdant, silly, miserable gitl, is
obliged to take in washing in order to sup
port herself and children.
You dislike the name of a mechanic, oh?
You whose brother* are but well dressed
testers. We pity any girl who has so little
brains, who is so verdant, so soft, as to think
less of a young roan for being a mechanic —
ooe of God's Doblemen—the most dignified
and honorable personage of heaven's crea
tures.
Beware, young ladies, how you treat
young men who work for a living, for you
may one day be menial to one of them your
self.
Far better to discharge the well fed pau
per with all his ring 3, jewelry, bmrennesa
and pomposity, and take to your affections
the callcus-handed, intelligent and indus
trious mechanic.
Thousands have bitterlv regretted their
folly who have turned their backs to hon
esty. A few years have taught them a se
vere lesson.
WOMAN'S GLANCE LIKE A COG
WHEEL,
The glance of a woman, says a French
writer, resembles certain wheels which are
apparently gentle, but are formidable; you
daily pass by their side with impunity, and
without suspecting anything, and the mo
ment arrives when you even forget that the
thing is there. You come, you go, you
dream you speak, you laugh, and all in a
minute you feel yourself caught and it is all
over with you. The wheel holds you, the
glance has caught you, it has caught, no
matter where or how, by some of your
thoughts, which drag after vou. or by some
inattention on your part. You are lost, and
your whole body will be drawn in; a series
of mysterious foice seizes yon, and you
struggle in vain for human aid is no longer
possible. You pass from cogwheel to cog
wheel, from agony to agony, from torture—
you and yonr uiind, your fortune, your fu
ture and your soul; and, according as are in
the power of a wicked creature, or you of a
noble heart, you will issue from this fright
ful machinery either di.figured by shame or
transfigured by passion.
ADVICE TO GIRLS.
Men who are worth having, want women
for wives. A bundle of gew-gaws bound
with a string of flats and quavers, sprinkled
with cologne, and set in a carmine saucer —
this is no help for a man who expects to raise
a family on veritable bread and meat. The
piano aud lace frame are good in their
places, and so are ribbons, frills, and tinsels;
but you cannot make a dinner of the former,
nor a bed-blanket of the latter; And,
awful is the idea may seem to you. both din
ner and bed-blankets are essential to domes
tic happiness. Life ha' its realities, as well
as fancies; but you may make it a mattet of
deeoraiion, remembering the tassels and
curtains, but forgetting the bed stead. Sup
posing a man of good sense, and of coarse
good prospects, to be chosen? lou may
catch liiui, or you may trap him, but how
much better to make it an object for him to
catch vou? Bender yourself worth catching,
and yon will need no shrewd mother or broth
er to help you find a market.
AN industrious blacksmith and an idle
dandy courted a pretty girl, who hesitated
which of them to take. Finally she said
she would marry which ever of them could
show the whitest hands. With a sneer at
the blacksmith the dandy held out his palms
white from idleness. Tine poor blacksmith
hid his brawny hands in his pockets, then
drawing them out filled with bright silver
coins he spread them ovet bis dusky fingers.
The girl decided that hit fingers were the
whitest. _
A TALL, keen eyed countryman walked
into the court-room during the progress of
a trial. Stopping Hp to one of the "ring,"
he requested that the prisoner might be

iury. The stranger surveyed them critical

marked; "Well, they are a ban! looking
