History of Columbia County.
NUMISElt VI.
There were various attempts, more or less
successful ami more, or Ics honest, to divest
tlio title of tlio Indians to the soil of the State
of Pennsylvania. The first purchase was in
July, IfiSl.and the last, under the proprieta
ries, at Eort Stanwix, on tlio site of tlio pros
out town of Koine, 011 tlie Erie canal, in the
State of New York, in 17(18. Tho final pur
clinse ol lands within tho charter bounds
was made ly and in the name of the Com
momvcalth, at Vort McIntoh, now lieavcr,
in October, 1781. Tliero were repeated and
persistent allegations of fraud and forgery
made by tho Indians, and somo of them
were apparently well founded.
A general discussion relating to all the
matters in dispute was had at tho council at
Enton in July and August, 175(1, when and
where the Governor, Hon. William Denny,
and four members of his council and about
forty citizens of Phildclphia met Teedyus-
cung, the Delaware chief, king of tho Lena
pi and Vi'anami, two Delawaro tribes, and of
tho Mnneys and Mohickon. At an ad
journed council nt the samo place in XV
vember, 17fr, tho same subject was brought
up ; and when tho Governor asked the
chieftain to stato his grievances, the Dela
ware said: "This ground that is uuder me,
(stamping with his foot,) is mine and has
been taken from mo by fraud and forgery,"
and ho proceeded to explain and insist upon
his view and construction of tho treaties and
deeds of conveyance. At a subsequent
council at Easton in July, 1757, between the
samo principal rwt.'e, tho samo charges
wero made and pressed home. Again at
Easton, in October, 1758, a deed was cxe.
cutcd releasing to tho Indians a large
amount of tlio territory embraced in that of
July, 1751 ; but tlio whole difficulty was not
settled, and it was up again in 1701,
At tho council in July, 1757, at Easton,
Teedyitscung discussing the question of tin-
old lands, paid, among other things: "As
wo intend to settlo nt Wyomcn, wo want to
have certain boundaries fixed between you
and us, and a certain tract of land fixed,
which it shall not bo lawful for us or our
children ever to sell, nor for you or any of
your children ever to buy. Wo would have
tho boundaries fixed all around agreeablo to
the draught wo give you, (hero ho drew a
draught with chalk on tho tabic,) that wo
may not bo j'ressed on any side, but have a
certain country fixed for our own use, and
tho uso of our children forever."
To this tho Governor replied; "As to tho
lands between Shnniokin and Wyomcn, the
proprietaries havo never bought them of tho
Indians, and thcreforo never claimed them
under any Indian purchase, that ho was
pleased with tho choico they had made of
that place, and would uso nil tho means in
his power to havo these lands settled upon
him agreeable to his request, &c.
The droit made by tho Delaware chief, as
nearly as it can he traced from tlio copy be
foro me, begins 011 tho west bank of the Sin.
queliauiia opposito the moulh of Shamokin
creek below Siinbuiy, thenco to tlio mouth
of Lycoming creek, thence along the cast
bank of it, hy what wero known ai Bur
nett's hills, south of Towanda creek, and in
au cantvily circular direction to near Hones
dale, and from that point in it southwesterly
diiection to tho beginning. The territory
tutu demanded and agreed to bo set oil' to
him for tho tribes ho represented comprised
about 2,000,000 of acres, mid included, in
wholo or lu part, tho counties of Union, Ly-
coming, Bradford, Sullivan, Wyoming, Lu.
zcrno, Columbia, Montour and Northumber
land. Houses wero built for them at Wyo
ming, and missionaries sent to them, Hut
tho great chieftain did not long enjoy his
rest. Uo was burned to death in his own
houso at Wyoming in 170:), but not without
susplcison of arson nud murder j nud within
flvo years thereafter was held tho treaty at
port btunwlx, already mentioned, whereby
not only tho nforcsald Wyoming Iteservn
tlon, hut also u largo body of other lands
wero purchased. This treaty Included tho
territory, In wholo or in part, of tho conn.
ties of Northumberland, Columbia, Liuorne,
Wayne, busqueliaiina, Bradford, Lycoming,
Clearfield, Indiana, Armstrong, Cambria,
Somerset, Fayette, Westmoreland, Alleghe
ny, Washington, Greene, Clinton, Montour,
Sullivan mid Wyoming, 1
Even beforo this date. 1768, tho country
between Shamokin nml Wyoming muH
have been pretty well known, It is not my
purposo to cuter upon any examination or
narration of tho Pennsylvania and tho Con
ii.ectlctit claimants to tho lands within tlio
charter limits of our State. If Connecticut
had succeeded lu her claim, most of tlio
present county of Columbia would have
been included within her boundaries ; the
lino paving west would have crossed at the
mouth of rishing creek, which is as near as
posslblo on the 41st parallel of latitude,
which was claimed to be tho southern boun
dary of Connecticut. But it is referred to
here mainly because it introduces to us for
tho first limo the iiamo of a prominent set'
tier in the county.
In January, 170!), Charles Stewart, John
Jennings and Amos Ogdcn took possession
of llio lands claimed by Connecticut in tlio
mini.' and on behalf of Pennsylvania, and on
the 8th of February, 170!), a body of Con
necticut men appeared on the ground. Dis
putes and bloodshed succeeded, each party
being reinforced from timo to time, and
among tho most determined opponents of
tho Pennsylvania government wero some
Lancaster county men, who probably had
some personal grievance. Bo that ns it may
Captain Charles Stewart continued to hold
possession, and in puisuanco of his duties
travelled frequently from Shamokin to Wy
oming. On "Friday, May 12th, 1709," lie
writes lo "The Hoiiorablo John Penn, K
quire," a letter from which I mako tho fol
lowing extract:
"Sir: This afternoon about three o'clock,
one hundred and forty-six New England
men, and others, chiefly on horse-back, pass
ed by our houses and aro now encamped on
tho east side of the river. Among them is
Benjamin Shoemaker and John McDowell,
with several of their neighbors. I spoko to
McDowell, who informed 1110 that at least as
many moro aro 011 their way, and will be
hero to-morrow. And I havo other intelli
gence that they will in a few days bo fivo
hundred strong. Tf this bo truo wo can
onlyj act defensively until reinforced. At
present we are but twenty-four men.
"On my way up the river Irom Shamokin,
on Wednesday evening last, I was hailed by
a man at the mouth of Fishing creek, named
James McClurc, who told mo ho and four
others, then at a fire hard by, was au ad
vanced party of one hundred going to join
tho Xew England men and that they would
chiefly bo from Lancaster county ; that
ho would bo at Wyoming as soon as us, but
lie is not yet come."
It does not appear whether Mr. James
McCIuro and the one hundred men marched
on to Wyoming or not. In tlio progress of
this history wo shall find him next at tho
same mouth of Fishingcreek as a settler,
taking up a tract of land under the Pennsyl
vania authorities and holding his titlo from
tho proprietaries.
Miscellaneous.
SrECTKK MANIFL'STATIOXS.
Dr. Hibbert has shown that spectres are
nothing moro than ideas or the recollected
images of the mind, which in certain states
of bodily indisposition have been rendered
more vivid than actual impression, and that
the picture!) of the "mind's eye" are more
vivid than the pictures of tho body's eye.
ir David Brewster, in his"Xatural Magic,"
goes further than this, and shows that the
'mind's eye" is actually tho body's eye, and
that tho retina is the common tablet on
which both classes of impressions aro paint
ed, and by means of which they rcccivo
their isiial existence under the samo optical
laws. Uo thinks that this is not only true
n tho case of spectral illusions, but that it
holds good of all ideas recalled by tho mem
ory or created by tho imagination, and that
it may be regarded as the fundamental law
in the scienco of pneumatology.
I'obert DaloOiven in his"l'OOtfalh on tho
Boundary of Another World,"tells a marvel
ous story of coincidences that ono can hardly
beliovo wero brought about by no other
agency than chance. Mr. Owen says that
the story was communicated to him in July,
1859, by Capt. J. S. Clarke of tho schooner
John Hallock, then lying at llutgers slip,
who had it direct from Mr, Bruco himself.
He adds that John Hallock was then trad-
ng between Xew York and Santiago,
Cuba.
Mr. Itobert Bruce, born at Torbay, in tho
south of England, and thcro bred up to a
seafaring life, in 1S2S, when about .10 years
old, was first mato on a bark trading be
tween Liverpool and St. John, N. B, On
ono of her voyages bound westward, being
then five or six weeks out and having ncared
the eastern portion of tho banks of Now-
ouudland, tlio Captain and mato had been
011 deck at noon, taking an observation of
tho sun ; after which they both descended to
calculate their day's work. Tlio cabin, a
small one, was immediately at the stern of
tlio vessel, and tho short stairway descend-
ng to it ran athwai (ships. Immediately
opposito to this stairway, just beyond 11
small squaro landing, was tho mate's stato
room ; and from that landing thcro wero two
ilours, closo to caclt other, the ono opening
aft into tho cabin, tho other fron'ting the
stairway into tho stato room,
Tin: vision.
Tho disk was in the forward part of tho
room, closo to tho door; so that any ono
itting at it and looking over his shoulder
could sco Into tho cabin. Tho mate.nbsorbcd
11 his calculations, which did not result at
ho expected, varying considerably from tho
lead rcckoning,hail not noticed tho captain'
motions, Having completed his calcula
tions, ho called out, without looking around,
'I mako our latitude and longitude so ami
so. Can that bo right? How is yours?"
As thero was no reply, ho repealed his
question, glancing over his shoulder nud
seeing, as ho thought, tho Captain busy
writing 011 his slalo. Still no answer, There,
upon hearosoj and, ns ho fronted tho cabin
oor,tho figure ho hud mistaken for tho Cap
tain raised its iiead und disclosed to tho
astonished mato tho features of au entiro
stranger. Bruco was not a coward ; but,
us ho met that fixed gazo looking upon him
in gravo silence, and became assured that It
was no 0110 whom ho had ever seen, It was
too much for him ; ho rushed up to tlio deck
u Mich evident alarm that It instantly at
tracted tho Captain's attention. "Why, Mr.
Bruce," said tho latter, "what lu tho world
is tho mutter with you?"
"Tho matter, sir ? Who is that at your
desk?"
"No one, that I know of,"
"But tliero U, klr; Micro's n stranger
there."
1876.
"A stranger 1 Why, man, you must bo
dreaming, 1 ou must havo kccii tho steward
thcro or the second mate. Who clso would
Ventura dwn without orders?"
"But, slr.ho was Bitting in your arm chair,
fronting the door, writing ou your slate,
Then ho looked up full lo my fnco j and, If
over I saw a man plainly and distinctly in
this world, I saw him."
"Him! Who?"
i,n 1 1 . . 1 ,.
vi on Knows, sir ; 1 twin. 1 saw n man,
and a man I never in my life saw be
fore."
"You must be going crazy , Mr. Bruco, A
stranger, and wo nearly six weeks out I"
"I know, sir ; but then I saw him."
"Go down and sco who It Is."
Bruco Jicsltnted. "I never was a believer
In ghosl," ho said, "but, if the truth must
bo told, sir, I'd rather not fnco it alone."
"Come, come, man. Go down at nneo.and
don't mako a fool of yourself beforo tho
crew.
"I hope you'vo always found mo willing to
do what's reasonable," Bruco replied, chang
ing color ; "hut if it's all tho samo to you
sir, I'd ratiicr wo should go down to
gether." SOMHTHINO TO DH EXPLAINED.
The Captain descended the stairs, and tho
mato followed him. ISobody in tho cabin
They examined the state rooms. X'ot a
soul to be found I
"Well, Mr. Bruce, said the Captain, "did
not I tell you you had been dreamlne?"
"It's all well to say so, sir; but if I didn't
seo that man writing on your slate, may I
never sco my homo and familv again 1"
"All 1 writing on tlio slate! Then it should
bo there still," and tho Captain took up tho
slate.
"My God I" ho exclaimed, "bore's some-
thing rurc enough 1 Is that your writing,
Mr. Bruce?'
Tho mato took tho slate, and there, in
plain legible characters, wero tho words,
fcteer to north-west."
"Ilavovou been trifling with me, sir?
inquired tho Captain, sternly.
On my word as a man, sir;" replied
Bruco, "I know no moro of this matter than
you do. I havo told you tho exact truth."
The Captain sat down at his desk in deep
thought, the slato beforo him. At last,
turning the slate over and over and pushing
toward Braci1, ho said, "Write down, 'Steer
to north-west.'"
Tho mate complied, and tlio Captain, after
narrowly comparing tho handwriting, said,
"Air. Bruce, go and tell the second mato tn
come down here." He came; and, at tho
Captain's request, he also wrote Iho words.
So, in succession, did every man in the crew
who could write at all. But not nno resem
bled in any degreo the mysterious writing.
iVfter tho crew had retired tho Captain sat
in deep thought. "Could any ono havo been
stowed away?" at length he said. "Tho
ship must bo searched, and if 1 don't find
tho fellow he must be a good hand nt hide
and seek. Order up all bauds," Every
nook and comer of tlio vessel from rtcm to
stern was thoroughly searched, and that
with all the eagerness of excited curiosity
for it had gone out that a stranger had
shown himself on board but not a living
soul beyond the crew and the otlicera was
found.
Iteturning to tho cabin after their fruitless
search, "Mr. Bruce," said the Captain"wliat
the devil do you mako of all this?"
Can't tell, sir. I saw the man write;
you sec tlio writing. Tliero must bo some
thing in it."
"Well, it WHtild seem so. Wo havo tho
wind free, and I have a great mind to keep
her away and sco what will come of it."
"I surely would, sir, if I wero in your
place. It's only a few hours lost at tho
most,"
Well, we'll see. Go ou deck and give tho
course no'west, And, Mr. Bruce," ho added
as tho mato rose lo go'have a lookout aloft,
and let it bo a hand you can depend on."
A discovery.
Vt about ,1 o'clock tho lookout reported
an iceberg nearly ahead, and shortly after
ward what ho thought was a vessel closo to
t. As they approached, tho Captain's glass
disclosed the fact that it was a dismantled
ship apparently frozen to the ice, and with
many human beings on it Shortly after
they hove to and sent out the boats to the
relief of tho sufferers. It proved to ba a ves
sel from Quebec, bound to Liverpool, carry
ing pasengers.
As one of the men who had beou brnugh
away in tho third boat that reached the
wreck was ascending tlio ship's side, tho
mat?, catching a glimpse of his face, started
back in consternation. It was the very face
that ho saw three or lour hours before, look
ing up at him from the Captain's desk.
Tho exhausted crow and famished passcn
gers having been cared for, tlio mato called
tho Captain aside, "It seems that was not
a ghost I saw to-day, sir; the man's alive."
"Vliatdo you mean, sir? Who's alivo?"
"Why, sir, ono of tho passengers wo havo
saved is tlio samo man I saw writing on
your slate nt noon. I would swear to it in a
court of justice."
"Upon my word, Mr. Bruce," replied tho
Captain, "this gets moro and moro singular.
Let us go and sco this man,"
They found him in conversation with the
Captain of tlio rescued ship. They both
stepped forward and expressed iu tlio warm
est terms their gratitudo for deliverance from
a horrible fate slow death by cxpostiro and
starvation. Tho Captain replied that ho
hud dono only what ho was certain they
would have dono for him under tho samo
circumstances, and asked them both to step
down into tho cabin. Then turning to tho
passenger he said, "I hopo, sir, you will not
think I am trilling with you, but I would bo
tnue'i obliged if you would writo a few
lines on this slate," and ho handed him tho
slate, with that sldo up on which tho myste
rious writing was not,
"I will do anything you ask," replied tho
passenger, "but what shall I writo?"
"Supposo you writo 'steer to nor'Nost.1"
Tlio passenger cheerfully complied, Tho
Captain took up tho slato ami examined it
closely ; then stepping aside so as to conceal
tho slato from tho passenger, ho turned it
uver and gave It to hi 111 again witli thoothc
sido up.
"You say this is your huudwiitiiig?" said
ho. "Ijioed iiotsay so" rejoined the other,
looking at It, "(or you saw 1110 writo It.'
"And this?" said llioeuptaln turning tho
slato over,
Tho man looked first at 0110 sldo of tho
slate, then at Iho (.ther, puzzled. At lost,
"what Is tho meaning ufUiU?" said he, "I

"That is moro than I can tell you, sir.
My mato hero says you wrote it, sitting at
this desk, nt noon to-day."
A DllHAM.
Tho captain of tho wreck and tho pas
scnger looked at each other, exchanging
glances of intelligence, and surpriso'; and the
former asked tho latter : "Did you dream
that you wroto on this slato?"
"X'o, sir, not tiiat I remember."
"You speak of dreaming," said tho cap
tain of tho bark, '.What was this gentle
men nbotit at noon to-day?"
"Captain," rejoined tho.olhir, "tho wholo
thing is most mysterious, and I had intend
ed to speak to you about it as soon as wc
got n little quiet. This gentleman (point
ing to tho passenger) being much exhaust
ed, fell into n heavy sleep, or what seemed
sleep, somo timo beforo noon. After an
hour or moro ho awoke, and said to mo:
'Captain, wo shall bo relieved this very day.'
When I asked him what reason ho had for
saying so, lie replied that ho had dreamed
that ho was on board a bark, and that she
was coming to our rescue. IIo described
her appearance and rig, and, to our utter
astonishment, when your vessel hovo in
sight sho corresponded exactly to his des
cription of her. Wo had not thought much
of what ho had said, yet still wo hoped
there might be something in it, for drown
ing men, you know, will catch at straw?.
As it has turned out, I cannot doubt that it
was all arranged, in somo incomprehensible
way, by an overruling Providence , so that
wo might be saved."
"I got tho impression that tho bark I saw
lu my dream was going to rescue us," said
tlio passenger, "but how that impression
camo I cannot tell. Everything hero on
board seems to moquito familiar ;yct I am
very suro that I was never iu your vessel
before. It is all a puzzle to me."
a Mr-ssf or. ritOM a wife.
Jung Stilling, in his "Tlieorio dor Geister
kunde," tells of a remarkable story that 'was
told by a German who had emigrated to
tho United States, and had been for many
years manager of some mills on the Dela-
ware, ihe events are said to liavo occurred
between 1750 and 1700. Tliero lived at
that timo near Philadelphia, lonely and re
tired, a benevolent and pious" man, who
was suspected of having wtu occult power
of disclosing hidden events. A sea captain
had been long absent, and no letter had
been received from him. His wife, who liv
ed near this man, and who had become
alarmed and anxious, was advised to con
suit him. Having heard her story, ho bado
her wait a little and ho would bring her an
answer, thereupon lie went Into another
room, shutting tho door, and there he slop
ed so long that, moved hy curiosity she
looked through an aperture in tho door to
ascertain what ho was about. Seeing him
lying motionless on a sofa, she quickly re
turned to her place. Soon ho came out, and
told tho woman that her husband wa at
that time iu London, in .1 certain coffee
house, which he named, and that ho would
soon return, llo also stated tlio reasons
why his return had been delayed, and why
ho had not written to her ; and she went
homo somewhat reassured. When her hus
band did leturn, they found, on comparing
notes, that everything she had been told was
rictly true. Hut the strangest part of the
story remains. When sho toot her husband
to see tho seer ho started back in surprise,
and afterward told his wife that on a certain
day (the same on which she had consulted
the seer)ho was in a coffee houso in London
(the same that had been named to her), and
that this very man had there accosted him,
and had told him that his wifo was in great
anxiety about him ; that then the sea cap
tain had replied, informing tho stranger
why his return had been delayed and why
ho had not written, whereupon tho man '
turned away, and he lost sight of him in
tho crowd.
Tliero aro cases on record in which an
alibi, satisfactorily proved, yet conflicting
with seeming unimpeachable ovidoncc, has
puzzled tho courts. Catharine Crowe, in
'NIghtlSido of Nature," relates and vouch
es for tho authenticity of tho following
wonderful story.
A MtlllDElt.
Iu the latter part of the last century, in
tho city of Glasgow, Scotland, a servant
girl,known to have been improperly intimato
with a certain Surgeon's apprentice, sud
denly disappeared. There being no cir
cumstances leading to tho suspicion of foul
play, no special inquiry was made about her.
In those days, in Scottish towns, no ono was
allowed to show himself in cither street or
public ground during tho hours of church
service; and this interdiction was enforced
by tho appointment of inspectors, authorized
to tnko down tho names of delinquents.
Two of these, making their rounds, came to
a walk, tho lower boundary of "The Green,"-
as tho chief public park of tho city isealled.
There, lying on the grass, they saw a young
111:111 whom they recognized as tho surgeon's
assistant. They asked him why ho was not
at church, and proceeded to register his
nanio : but instead of attempting an excuse
ho merely arose, saying, "I am a mlscrablo
man : look 111 tho water 1 1 lieu ho cross
ed u utile nud struck Into a path leading to
tho Buthcrglau road. Tho inspectors, m
tonished, went to tho river, and tliero they
found the body of a young woman, which
they caused to bo conveyed to town. Whilq
they wero accompanying it through the
streets, they passed oncSof tho principal
churches, wheuce, at tho moment, tho con
gregratiou wero issuing, and among them
they saw tho apprentice, But this did not
surprise them, thinking ho might havo liadl
time to go round and enter tho church toward
the closo of the service.
Tho body proved to bo that of tho mis
sing servant girl. Tlio apprentice was ar
rested, and must, on tho testimony of tho
inspectors, have been found guilty had ho
not ou his trial established nn incontrover
tible alibi, showing beyond posslblo doubt
that ho had been iu church during tho en
tiro service, Tho young man was acquitted.
WHATTIUtY COUL1I lUltDLY DELI EVE.
Hardly less wonderful is tho following
narrative communicated tu Hubert Dale
Owen iiuWashington iu Juue, 1S59, by the
persons concerned.
In May, 1810, Dr.;I) ,a noted physician
of Washington, was residing with his wife

to meet ti." "I think not," tho daughter
replied j "that cannot bo papa ; it Is not ns
tall ns he." Ai ho nearcd them, tho daugh
ter's opinion was confirmed. It was not
Dr. 1) , but a Mr. Thompson, a gen
tleman with whom they wero well nc
qualnted, and who was at that timo ono of
Dr. D 's patients. They noticed, also,
as ho camo nearer that ho was dressed In a
bluo frockcoat, black satin waistcoat, and
black pantaloons and hat. Also.on comparing
notes afterward', both ladies, it appeared,
had noticed that his linen was particularly
fine, and that his whole apparel seemed to
havol been very carefully adjusted. Ho
camo up so closo that they were on tho very
point of addressing him ; but at that mo
ment ho stepped aside, seemingly to let
them pass, and then, oven while tho eyes of
both tho ladies wero upon him, ho disap.
pcarcd.
Tlio astonishment of Mrs. D and her
daughter may bo imagined. They could
scarcely believe tho evidence of their own
eyes. They lingered for n tinio on tho spot
expecting him to reappear ; then they has
tened home. They afterward ascertained,
through Dr. D , that bis patient, Mr.
Thompson, being seriously indisposed, was
confined to his bed, and that ho had not
been out of his room, nor, indeed, his bed
throughout tho entire day. IIo died kx
weeks later.
Apprenticeship.
Wo referred tho other day to an nctount
by an eminent physician of tlio manner in
which doctors nro manufactured by tho med
ical colleges at the rate of thousands per
annum, turned out to prey upon socicty,witli
neither knowledge, experience, nor even
honest purposo. Wo might havo enlarged
tho statement to includo youug men and wo
men who have not even been manufactured
by any such training mill for any useful
purpose whatever, but who rush into tho
professions, tho arts, tlio trndes, resolved to
get not only a living out of them,bttt distinc
tion, success and public respect. New York
and Philadelphia swarm with half-grown
boys from tho country and inland towns,
each of whom means to dio as rich a man as
Astor or Girard, and whoso solo skill or
knowledge appears to bo an aptitude in copy
ing the dress and manner of tho Bowery
"gent," while the Bar here; as elsewhere is
crowded with young men shuffled through
examination by tho graco of an influential
friend, and who mean to use their profes
sion to push them as ward politicians.
Tho gate to success and money-making
which is the most popular and attacked with
tho most sanguine ambition, however, is
that of literature. Tho editor of a magazine
or newspaper must havo nerves of steel if ho
bo not wearied out with the importunity of
"collego graduates of fine literary tasto,"who
feel themselves competent to fill any posi
tion in his office at a moment's warning,
from that of proof reader to his own. Hack
of these come a pressing crowd of women,
widows who must feed their children or sco
them starve, young girls, wives with invalid
or drunken husbands, downright adventur
ers, nono ef whom can earn money by teach
ing, sowing, or any other head or hand craft,
nud thcreforo take to tho pen as "tho one
business which requires no training." Noth
ing can be more pitiable than the appeals of
theso people, nothing more sanguino than
their hopes. Their need is desperate; their
talent, they havo been assured by friends, is
indisputable. Nobody unconnected with
tho publishing business iu somo way can
know how deplorably largo this class is in
tho cities. They write, write, flood tho ta
bles of editors with poems, tiles, essays,
whicli como back to them or disappear iu
tho waste-paper basket. We havo known a
young woman como to one of the seaboard
cities from a village in a southern State, and
for threo years strugglo against hunger,
need of every sort, writing steadily, without
ono gleam of success. Such pluck and en
durance would havo told In any other pur
suit, but tho woman was ignorant of gram
mar, English literature, everything, in fact,
but belief in her own "genius." Nor is tho
case an extreme one. In art tho case is al
most as bad. Pictures, studies in oil and
crayon, nro offered in tho market by men
and women who apparently do not know
tho first rules of art. Just as ono "career"
after another is opened by which money can
bo made, tliero will follow the same crowd
of needy aspirants who mean to conquer
success without knowledge, skill, or any
kind of training.
They havo their sido of tho fetory, too.
They are hungry and ill-clothed; they havo
as much natural ability as men who sit
snugly inside tho gates at which they knock ;
and it may be, as much information. What
then is lacking? Apprenticeship and hard
work. Tho fablo of tho winged hnrso who
flew to tho dizzy heights of fumo was long
ago exploded; nobody believes in it but
schoolboys. The horso who wins tho race,
whatever his strain of blood, has been long
and carefully trained and has worked hard
in every muscle. No lad, whatever his abil
ity, can como to New York and earn dis
tinction or money without work, and that
hard bteady work in tho lino ho chooses.
No lad is such n fool ns to uudcrtako to
build u houso who has never handled trowel
or hammer, and a woman knows that sho
must learn to boil and bako beforo sho can
prepare tho bimplest dinner. Art, litera
ture, uiuslc, journalism, aro not moro easily
conquered than carpentery or cookery.
Tlicso sentences, wo know, aro platitudes
to every intelligent reader. But for lack of
knowing just theso platitudes thousands of
I'nicn and women nro wasting their lives and
small means In utterly hopeless effort. They
answer that they have no time fjr 'prcullco
ships. They must havo money or starve.
After a year or two of disappointment they
clutch eagerly at tho lowest of bastard suc
cess, paint daubs tor auctions, write unsa
vory ill-paid matter for flush publications.
Easy as U tho descent into that hell, to como
out of it U impassible.
Thcro Is but 0110 remedy for this misera
ble condition of affairs. Let boys and girls
especially glrlsr-bo thoroughly taught
one means of earning their bread whilo they
nro at home. When they are turned out on
tho world U no timo to begin Co learn to
handle their tooW, No matter what their
social rank or expectations, glvo them this
0110 weapon whoso uo they thoroughly uii
derstand with which to keep tliu wolf from
tho door, Make them luachiTs, urll.u,
seamstresses, musicians, palntcis on 1 liiun,
typesetters, engravers -what you chouse,
But mako them real skilled workers, ii'xl not
sham pretenders, hopeful, unable, and good
for nothing. A', 1' 2W6uur.
