Select Story.
THE MAIN liltlDUK.
At was past midnight the lights on the
stoiie bridge which coss tho river Main nt
Frankfort were still fuming, though the
footsteps of passengers had died away for
some time on its pavement, when a young
man approached the bridge from the town
with hasty strides. At the same time, an
other man, advanced. in years, was coming
towards him from Sachenhausen, the well
known suburb on the opposite side of the,
river. The two men had not yet met when
tbe latter turned from his path and went
toward the parapet from the bridge into the
Mnin.
The young man followed him quickly and
laid hold of him.
Sir,' said he, 'I think you want to drown
yourself,'
What is that to you V
'I was only going lo nsk you to do me a
fayor, to wait a lew minutes and allow me to
join you. Let us draw;c!ose to each other,
aqd, arm in arm, take thejeap together. The
idea of making the journey with a perfect
stranger who lias chanced to conio for the
talne purpose, is really ratlier interesting.
P6r many years Ilhuvo not made a renuest
o(j any human being ; do not refuse me thin
otje, which must be my last.'
The young man held out bis hand. Ilia
companion (ook it. He continued with eu-
thuslatliii '-'So be'lcjj. STrm In-am, I do
not ask whoy'c4 are, good or' bad-come let
us drown.'
fThe elder of the two, who had at first been
in so great a hurry to end his existence,now
restrained the impetuosity of tbe younger.
Stop, sir,' said lie, while his weary eyes
tried to examine the features of his com
panion, 'Stop, sir. You eeem too young to
lejve life in this way ; for a man of your
yejars life must still hap bright prospects.
Bright prospects 1 in the midst of rot
tenness and decay, vice and corruption.
Come, let us end it.'
'And so young 1 Let me go alone, and do
you remaiu here. Believe ine, there are
many good and honest people who could
render lifo charming tor you. Seek them
atid you are sura to find them.'
'Well, If life presents itself to you in hues
so, bright, I am surprised you should wish to
leaye it.'
'Oh, lam only a poor, old sickly man, un
able tu earn anything, and can endure no
longer that his only child, 4n angel of a
daughter, shoud work day and night to
maintain him. To allow Ibis longer I must
to a tyrant, a barbarian.'
'What, sir,' exclaimed the other, 'you
have an only-daughter sacrificing herself for
your sake f
'And with wbat patience, what sweetness
and love, what perseverance I I see her
sinking under her toil and htr deprivations,
and not a word of complaint escanes her
lips. She works and starves, and still has a
word of love for her father.'
'And you commit suicide I Are you
madl
'Dare I murder that angel ? The tbought
pierces my heart like a dagger,' said tbe old
niflii, sobbing,
'Sir, you must have supper with me : I
see a tavern open yonderl Come, you must
veil uie yuur uieiury, ana I will tell you
mine. There is no occasion for you to leap
Into the river. I am a rich man, nndyour
daughter will no looger have to work, and
you shall not starve.'
Tbe old man allowed himself to be
dragged along by his companion. In a few
minutes they were seated at a table in the
tavern, with refreshments before them, and
and each examining curiously the features of
the other. '
Refreshed by tbe viands, the old man be
gan thill)
'My history is soon told, I was a mercan
tile man ; but fortune never favored me. I
had no money myself, and loved and mar
lied a pbor girl, I could never begiu busi
ness on my own account. I took a situation
as a book keeper, which I held until I be
came useless from age, and younger men
BLOOMSBURG, PA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24,
were preferred to me. Thus my circumstances
were always circumscribed, but my domes
tic happiness was comnleln. M lt n
angel of love, kindness and fondness, was
good and pious, active and affectionate ; and
my daughter is a lure Iraago of her mniher.
But age and Illness have brought me to tho
last extremity and my conscience revolts
against the Idea of the best child In the
world sacrificing her life for a useless fellow
I cannot have much lomrer In llyo o...l T
hope the Lord will pardon me for cutting off
h lew uays or weeks Irom my life, in order
to preserve that of my dear Bertha.'
'You are a fortunate man, my friend,' ex
claimed the young man ; 'what you call mis
fortune is sheer nonsense, and can be cured.
To-morrow I shall make my will, and you
shall be the heir of my possessions, and to
morrow night I will take tho leap from the
Main bridge alone. But befjro I leave this
world I must see Bertha, for I am anxious
to look upon one who is worthy of the name
of a human being.'
'Sir what can have made you so unhappy
nt this early age V cried the old man, moved
with compassion,
') am the only son of one of tho richest
bankers In Frankfort. My father died five
years ago, and left me heir t an Immense
fortune. From that moment, every one that
has como Into contact with me has en
deavored to deceive and defraud me. I was
a child in innocence, and confiding. My
education had not been neglected, and I
possessed my mother's loving heart. My
friend, and to whom I opened my heart, be
trayed me.'and then laughed at my simplici
ty ; in time I gathered experience, and my
heart was filled with distrust. I was be
trothed to a rich heiress, possessed of all
the fashionable accomplishments ; I adored
her with enthusiasm and love j I thought it
would repay me for every disappointment.
But I soon sbw that she wished to make me
her slave, and yoke all otter men beside to
her triumphal chariot. I broke ofT the en
gagement and selected a poor but charming
girl a sweet, innocent being, as I thought,
who should be my life's own angel. Alas 1
I found her .one day bidding adieu with
tearsand kisses to a youth whom she loved.
She had accepted me for my wealth only.
My peace of mind vanished, I sought diver
sion in travel. Everywhere I found the
Batne hullowness, the same treachery, the
same misery. In short I became disgusted
with life, and resolved to put an end this
night to the pitiable farce.'
'Unfortunate young man,' said the other,
with fears of sympathy, 'I pity you. I con
fess I have been more fortunate than you. I
possessed a wife and daughter, who came
forth pure and immaculate from the hand of
the Creator. The one has returned to him
in the whiteness of her soul, and so will tbe
other.'
'Give me your address, old man. and ner.
-t , '
mit me to visit your daughter to-morrow.
Also give me your word of honor that you
wll not Inform her, or insinuate in any
manner that I am a rich man.' The old
man held out his hand.
'I give you "my word, I am anxious to
to convince you that I havesookenthe truth.
My name is Wilhelm Schmidt, and there is
my aauress, giving him at tho same time a
bit of paper which he drew from his pock
et.
'And my name is Karl Traft. I am the
son ot Anton Traft. Take these bank notes,
but only on condition that you do not leave
this houso until I fetch you from it. Waiter!
a bed room for this gentleman. You re
quire rest.Herr Schmidt. Good night. To
morrow you will see me again.
II.
In one of the narrow andill-llghted streets
of Sachsenhausen, in an attic of a lofty and
unsightly house, sat a blonde, about twenty
years nt nge,busily employed with her need
le. The furniture of the room wiw clean
and tasteful. Tbe girl's whole drees would
not havo fetched many kreutzers ; but every
article fitted her as well as if it had cost
hundreds. Her fair locks" shaded a face
brightened by a pair of eyes of heavenly
bluo. The spirit of order, modesty, and
cleanliness reigned in everything around
her Her features were delicate, like those
of 1 onelioble born ; her eyes betrayed sleep
lessness and anxiety, and ever and anon a
deep sigh rose from 'the maiden's breast
.Suddenly steps were heard on the staircase,
and ber face lighted up with joy. She
listened "and doub t seemed to shadow Tier
brpw. Then came a knock at Ihe door, which
made her tremble scL much that she almost
wanted courage to say 'Come In.' A young
man, shabbily dressed, entered the room,and
made a low and awkward bow.
'I beg pardon, Miss,' said be, ' does Herr
Schmidt, livo here?'
Yes, sir. What is your pleasure ?'
'Are you his daughter Bertha?''
'I am.'
'Then it is you I seek. I am from your
father.'
For Heaven's sake, where Is he ? Somt
thing must have happened he stayed away
all night.'
'This misfortune is not'very grea.' ,
'Oh, my poor, poor father I what shall I
hear ?'
The young man seemed to observe these
visible marks of anxiety with great interest.
He said:
'Do not be frightened, It is nothing of
great importance. Your father met last
night an old acquaintance, who invited him
to a tavern. They had supper together, but
when tho landlord came for hU bill your
falber.s friend bad decamped, and left him
to' pay the score. He bad not sufficient mon
ey, for this, and now the host will not let
him go until lie is paid, and declares that
unless he gets his money Iru will send him
to prison,'
'To prison I' exclaimed the girl. 'Can
you tell me bovy much the bill comes to?'
'Three florins and a half.'
0 God I' sighed the girl ; 'all I have
ddes not amount to more thau one florin, but
I wll go at once to Madame Berg aud beg
01 ber to advance me the money,
Who is Madame Berg?'
'The milliner for whom I work,'
'But if Madame Berg does not advance
the money what then?'
'The girl bilrst Into tesrs.
I am afraid she will reluse. I already
owe her one florin, aud she is verv liar,!.'
'For what purpose did you borrow the
money you owe her?
The girl hesitated to reply,
'You may trust me.'
'Well, my father is very weak, and re
quires strengthening. I borrowed tho mon
ey to get a quarter of a fowl for him,'
Under thpso circumstances, I fear Mad
amo Berg will not give you any. I possess
nothing. Have you any valuable moro ?
Here la one fljrln, but that is all upon which
wo couiu raise some money.'
Bertha considered for a moment.
I have nothing,' said she at length, 'but
my poor Mother's prayer book. On her
death bed she entreated me not to part with
It, and there Is nothing In the world I hold
moro sacred than her memory and the prom,
ise I gave her ; but still for my father's sake
I must not hesitate.' With trembling hand
she took the book down from the shelf, 'Oh,
sir,' said she, 'during many a sleepless night
I have been accustomed to enter the secret
thoughts of my heart on the blank' leaves at
tho end of the' book. I hope no ono will
ever know whose writings they are; you will
promise mo that ?' "
'Certainly, Bertha. I will take caro that
your secrets are not profaned. 'But now get
ready that wo may go,'
Whllo sho left the room to put on her
bonnet and shawl, Karl Traft (for the young
man was no other than our hero) glanced over
the writing in the book, .and his eyes filled
with emotion and delight as he read tho
outpourings of n pure and pious heart j and
when they had left tho house together, and
she was walking beside him with a dignity
of which she seemed entirely unconscious,
he cast upon her looks of respect and ad
miration. They first went to Madamo Berg who did
not give the advance required, but assured
the young man that Bertha was an angel.
Certainly this praise Mr. Traft valued more
than the money he had asked for. They
pawned the book and the required amount
was'madeup. Bertha was overjoyed.
'But If you spend all that money to-day,'
rejnarked the young man on what wilt vou
live to-morrow ?'
fl do not know, but I trust In God. I
Bball work the whole night through.'
iwhen they went to the tavern, the younc
man went in to prepare old Mr. Schmidt for
the part he wished him to act j then he
fetched Bertha. It ts impossible to describe
the joy he felt when he saw the young girl
thVow herself in her father's arms, and press
him to her heart.
She paid the bill and triumphantly led
him home. Traft accompanied them and
satde had a few more kreutzers in his
Docket : bIio had better en And rvpf anma-
tblng to eat. It was late before Traft went
hdme that night ; but the leap from the
Main .bridge was no more thought of. He
came to the house every evening, in order
as he said, to share with them his scanty
earnings.
About a fortnight after, as he was going
avjay one evening, he said to Bertha :
Will you become my wife ? I am only a
paW clerk, but I am honest and upright.'
llertha blushed aud cast her eyes to the
ground.

bewildered wife, who looked at him with

Before sho could utter a word the three
ware seated in the carriage, driven away atn
quick pace. The carriage, stopped before.a
spjendid house in the best part of Frank
fort. 1 hey were received by a number of
domestics, who conducted them to apart

on an adjoining plantation. He had a son,
Mfrfc, and Mark grew up as a playmato of
Jessie, the daughter of the Reynolds house

prpsperous, it was arranged by Reynolds
that If the children could be induced to love
each other there should be a union of the
houses. Jessie was sent to a cirls'.school in
Ldulsville, Ky.,and Mark, entered at Priuce
to 1 College, N. J. Returned from their

FAI15IIX0 NOT LIKED.
Wo see an nrtlclo going tho rounds of cer
tain papers that seem to publish anything
to fill up, In which it Is undertaken to tell
'why farming Is so little liked. Beforo go
ing farther!;! the subject It should be first
in order to prove that farming t' not liked .
For ourselves we d?ny the proposition, Tho
very fact that three-fifths of the population
are engaged In farming puts a stopper on
any such nonsense. There is uo business
more liked than firming, and none that
yields so sure a living and provides more
certainly for the wants of old age when our
work-days are over.
There are lazy people engaged In farming
as In any othor calling, who aro over ready
to try their hand at something elsa which
seems to promise as much or more gain with
less labor. But we all know who have paid
any attention to these changes how seldom
any ono bettors his condition. On tho cot
trarj how frequently In fact how generally
they fall ontirely. It U perfect folly, af
ter working at a pursuit for year?, ind be
coming well acquainted with it in all its
ramifications, and doing well enough, t
abandon It and begin anow some other busl
ncss of which weiknow nothing about. And
we see the result of tho folly all around us..
The industrious, temperats, careful man who
pur.ues larming as the vocation of his life,
becomes ardently attached to it, and never,
falls to do well by It. We say never, be
cause such a man cannot help but succeed
unless overwhelmed with misfortunes, which
is not often permitted In this day of good
will and benevolence.
There is no business that a man engages
ln,for the support of a family that Is bo cer
tain, of accomplishing its object, or that up
on the wholo Is better liked, thau that of
tilling tho soil ; and there is no people, take
them altogether, who arp held in higher re

LIVE BASS OX ICE.
On Monday morning as Georce Snvaer.
'thp ice man, was delivering ice at th.e drug
Btbre of Van Duzen Brothers, on Wall street
he took a cake of ice weighing 260 pounds,
nnd as the amount to be delivered there was
only one hundred pounds, cut it in two.
About the centre of the cake was discovered
a young black bass.whichonboingcutout of
the Ice was found frozen as stiff as a stone.
The'ice had been harvested from the river
last January, and so for eight months tbe
fish must have been in the ice in a frozen
stato. Seward Van Duzen, one of the clerks
in the store, thought to himself that he
would try an experiment in- reviving the
fish. He put him in a snrinkllnir Dot. In
which was cistern water of the ordinary tem
perature, For about half an hour the fish
showed no signs of life at all. After that
time had elapsed ho was noticed to begin to
mdye his tall. He was transferred to a class
globe, and shortly afterward was swimming
around as though he had not been locked
in, the cold embrace of a cake of ice for
the greater part of a year. Pieces of crack
erjwere thrown Into the water, and the fish
ate them. The elobo containing' the' fish
now adorns one of Van DUzen Brothers'
counters, and a large number of people vis
ited the store cn Monday to take a look at
what is really n curiosity in tho way of re
viving animal lite From the Rondout (N.

' A CIIEKKKUL WIFE. .
Better than gold to a man is a cheerful
wife. But he must do his part toward mak
ing her cheerful. It is easy enough for a
man to marry a happy woman. But the
bride expectant, when sho thought how hap
py she would be, nover contemplated thi
picture of a husband coming home as cross
as b, hear, and going to bed without speak
ing to her i she had never thought of tho
long evening when he'wouldn't coma at all,
or his bringlne somo ono home to dinner
without warning or preparation, or his aw
ful profanity over so trilling a matter as her
little bill of expenses. She had no idea, in
faqt, there tould be anything but happiness
in married life, and she had determined to
be happy, and to distribute her happiness to
those about her. It Is not ften her fault if
she doesn't succeed. Men, as a rule, do not
exprt themselves to secure their fives' hap
piness: They know that it requires a con-
slant, and great effort to possess property
and be secure in its value In the midst of'
constant commercial changes. The cheer
fulness, the happy, hopeful character which
eviiy woman displays at the beginn
ing of marriage is not lost so easily, as a for
tune ; it requires but a small share. A
wdrd to the girls in this connection is in or.
def : Beware of the man who doesn't know
enough about cheerfulness to understand its
yalue in daily life. Such a man would lav

sujibeam into a shadow, and then wonder

THE COLUMBIAN, VOL. XIU, N0.44
COLUMIUADEMOCltAT.VOL.XMV, NO, It
A CUKE FOR SLANDER.
The following very homely, but singular
ly Instructive lesson is by St. Philip Nelr :
A lady presented herself to him one day,
accused herself of being given to slander.
'Do you frequently fall into this fault :' In
quired the saint, 'Yes, father, very often,'
replied the penitent. 'My dear child,' said
the saint, 'your fault Is great, but mercy Is
still greater. For your penance, do as fol
lows : 'Go to th,e nearest market, purchase
a chicken just killed and well covered with
feathers ; yntl will then walk a certain dls
tancej.ptucklng the bird as you go along j
your walk finished, you will return to me.'
Great writhe astonishment of the lady on
receiving so stiange a penance J but, silenc
ing all human reasoning, she replied: 'I
will obey, father ; I wlllobey.' According
ly, she repaired to tho market, bought the
fowl, and set out on her journey, plucking
it ns she wont along, as she had been ord
ered, In a short lime she returned anxious
to tell of lier exactnesl in accomplishing her
penance, and deslrious to receive an expla
nation of one so singular. 'Ah,' Bald the
saint, 'you have been faithful to .the first
part of my orders ; now do the second part
and you will be cured. Retrace your steps,
pass through all the places you havo already
traversed, and gather up, one by one, all
Ihe feathers you have scattered.' 'But, fath
er,' exclaimed the poor woman, 'that is Im
possible, I cast tho feathers carelessly on
every side ; the wind carried them in differ
ent directions : how cau I now recover
them ?' 'Well, my child,' replied tho saint,
'so it is with your words of Blander. Like
the feathers, which the wind has scattered,
they have been wafted in many directions ;
call them back if you can. Go, and sin no
more.' History does not tell if the lady was
converted, but it is.probable. It required a
saint to git 0 the lesson; one would be a
fool not to profit by it.
THE OLD, OLD STORY.
A young gentlemau, happening to sit at
church in a. pew adjoining, one which a
youug lady occupied far whom he conceived
a sudden and .violent passion, was desirous
of entering into a courtship on the spot, and
the exigeucy of the case suggested tbe fol
lowing plan : He politely handed bis fair
neighbor a Bible open, with a pin stuck In
the following text second epistlo of John,
verse fifth : 'And now, I beseech tbee, lady
not as thougii I wrote a new commandment
unto thee, but that which we had in the
beginning, that w0 love one another.' She
returned it, pointing to the second chapter
of Ruth, verso tenth : Then she fell on her
face and bowed herself to the ground and
said unto him. Why nave I found grace in
thine eyes, seeing that I am a stranger?'
Uo returned tbe book, pointing to the
thirteenth verse of the third epistle of John :
Haying many things, to write unto .you, I
would not write with paper and ink, but I
trust to come unto you and speak face to
face. .From the above interview a mar
riage took place.
Wandering bands of gypsies are still
foundjin parts of Europe, and even in so
well settled and strictly governed country
as Germany, They travel with their wo
men, children, horses and baggage, and are
sometimes numerous and strong enough to
overawe the farmers, and even bid defiance
to the village constabulary. .Nominally
they are in Germany accorded permission to
ptop for a limited time in the neighbor
hood of the hainleta which they meet on
tlieir erratic course.but in reality they often
stop as long as they please, with or without
permissionwhile the horses graze on the
farm lands, and game and poultry myster
iously disappear from the vicinity. A
newspaper correspondent, writing from
Koslhelm, near Maynee, gives an amusing
account of the audacity .of a band of these
European tramps who encamped near that
place, made havoc with the adjacent crops
aud fields, defied the messengers of the bur'
gome Uer, aud did not move until the mill'
tary reserve of the village had been called
out, even then not.retreatlng without mak
ing a show ot battle, and evidently giving
way only to superior force-
