T11E LABORING S1AJS,
A SKETCH FOR STORE K EE PERI.
- ..
BY SYLVANCS COBB, JR.
Never judge a man by the quality . pf
his clothes. If a man is habited in a
garb filthy and ragged, that is one thing ;
but the simple garb of labor may cover
the best of men. Among the many un
fortunate mistakes which have been made
in this latter respect is the following,
which happened within my own knowl
edge and observation :
Christopher Goodhue, at the age of
forty, had amaesed a fortune in mercan
tile pursuit?, and lost his health. His
physician told him he must leave the city,
and quit his present business. Said the
man of medicine, .
"Of course you must have employment,
and that, too, of ar kind that shall exer
cise your best business capacities . Now
1 think, my dear Goodhue, I have just
the thing for you. You have been at
Walker's Falls, up in Franklin V
"Yes."
"Well, those large mills are for sale
both tho woolen mill and paper mill,
together with a machine shop belonging
to them. Hie former owner is dead and
his widow wishes to sell. Two hundred
thousand dollars, cash, I am very sure
will buy the whole property. You can
pay that, and have enough lo make ypu
independent of want or labor while you
live. And then, if you buy, you will nat
urally improve two or three excellent
water privileges which are now idle.
Think of it, my dear sir : A healthy,
salubrious, and invigorating mountain air;
a retired and delightful location ; fish and
game of all sorts ready to your rod and
gun whenever jou feel like relaxation and
recreation ; and the very best school in
tho country for your children." -
Mr. Goodhue was taken with the idea:
but, like a prudent man, be said he would
speak with his wife. He did so, and she,
sensible woman, said, "Let us get out
from the city. O, we can be very happy
in the free, fresh air ; and not only you,
but our children, and myself will be bet
ter and stronger."
So Christopher Goodhue went up to
Walker's Falls, in the little village amonj;
the mountains, and bought the rnilb, to
gether with all the unimproved water
power ; and within two weeks thereafter
he had removed thilher with his family,
and entered at once, heart and soul, into
the work of improvement.
"Now, Mollie," he said to his wife,
'you know I have come up here for
healthful exercise. I shall hire men to
do the drudgery of close otlice work.
We must fix up around the house. I am
going to hoc and delve and dig in the gar
den. So you must make me a pair cf
blue overalls and a frock. X must dress
for the work I do."
Mis. Goodhue smiled ; but the cheers
ful tones of her husband, already growing
vimmy and robust, made her heart glad,
and she and the girls set to work cheer
fully and merrily upon the clothing for
the new laboring man.
People were rejoiced when they knew,
that a wealthy business man from the dis
tant city had bought the mills ; because
thoso same mills, employing nearly two
hundred hands, were the life of the place ;
and the real good and prosperity of other
business depended in a great measure upon
their thrift and successful management.
The principal store at Walker's Falls
was kept by a man named Ralph Stover.
He had managed to work in the bulk of
the trade through the partiality of the for
mer proprietor of the mills, with whom
he had shared the high profits on goods
sold upon order to the employees of the
mills. He was an honest man as . the
world goes, but with him Honesty was
Policy, and nothing more.
Eben Shack ford kept the other proper
store,' and when I say "proper store," I
mean a regular country siore, where goods
of all kinds, qualities, and varieties, are
kept, and wbenv farmers can dispose of
all sorts of transportable produce. Shack
ford was truly an honest man honest
from the very innermost instincts of1 his
heart. With him honesty was hot so
much a principle as a part of his nature.
He had not laid up money. , His trading
was mostly confined to an old run of cus
tomers among the neighboring . farmers,
while' those who had money to pay for
their goods had been monopolized by the
more stirring and scheming Stover.
"I declare,' said Stover, "I must go
and see Mr. , Goodhue, and make some
arrangements for . securing his custom and
his orders. . I calculate his trade and in
fluence will be worth more than a thous
and dollars a year clear profit. He must
have got settled down by this time, and
ready, for business. I wish I knew what
sort of a man he is. Bnt I guess I shall
know how to take him after Pve studied
him a while. I can read human nature
pretty easily.
',The trader was preparing to leave when
a. laboring man entered the store- a man
habited.' in blue overalls and frock, and
"wearing, upon his head an old straw hat. '
Mr. Stover; I think? said the new
comer. ' '' ;' - .
: "That's my name." ' ' "
The laboring man started at the abrupt
ness and bruskoess ot the tone. , tie was
not used to be answered in that way ; nor
was he UBed to hearing traders speak so to
a customer. - .
"I want to get a little paint, sir.
am -
"My boy will attend to you. I am
busy." -.. .
"But, sir, your boy may be as ignorant
of the compounds I require as I am. I
am going to paint a floor, and only know
that I want some yellow ochre, and "
"I am not a painter, sir," broke in
Stover, roughly. "My boy will put up
whatever you may want."
"Then you cannot accommodate a cus
tomer with the benefit of your knowledge
concerning the respective quantities of
various articles he may require for a spe
cified purpose ?"
"Knowledge isn't one of my treading
commodities. You'll find that up at the
Academy. Here, John if ibis man
wants anything, sell it to him." And
thus speaking, Mr. Stover put on his hat
and left the store evidently thinking that
his customer, whom he bad never seen
before, was either an itinerant laboring
man, or farmer from the back region, who
would want to pay for his goods in pop
lar wood or old potatoes.
Ralph Stover went to the mills, where
he found an architect and an engineer
from the city superintending extensive al
terations and improvements. Rut Mr.
Goodhue was not there. They thought
likely he was at the house. So to the
house Mr. Stover wended his way, where
he was informed by a lady that if Mr.
Goodhue had got back from an errand
upon which he had been out, he would
probably be found in the garden.
Next to the garden, where our enter
prising trader found a man, in blue over
alls and frock, engaged in making a flower
garden.
."Is Mr. Goodhue about here ?"
"That is my name, sir."
"Rut I mean the man who owns the
placewho owns the mills.'
"I am the man."
" You 1 Eh ?' . Mr. Stover beheld the
customer to whom he had behaved so in
decently at bis store.
"Really, Mr. Goodhue, I had no idea
-I had"
"If you have business with me, sir,"
interrupted Mr. Goodhue, respectfully,
but sternly, "I .will attend to you other
wise my time is precious."
"Upon my soul, Mr. Goodhue, I must
ask your pardon. I had no idea it was
you. Rut if you will listen if you will
give me your custom I think I could
make it as much for your interest as "
"Stop, sir," commanded Goodhue, with
a wave of the band. "If I wish to trade
with you, I will call at your store. I
suller no man to inflict his begging for
custom on nie at my home. Good-day,
sir."
And while Mr. Goodhue returned to
his work, Ralph Stover had read his man
well enough to know that further remark
would be worse than useless ; so he turned
moodily and unhappily away.
Mr. Goodhue found Eben Shack ford
to be an honest, upright, conscientious,
and accommodating tradesman, and with
him be made arrangements fur the 6upply
of goods for himself and workmen. j
Shackford throve and was grateful and
happy ; the laborers in the mills obtained
their goods vastly cheaper than ever be
fore ; while Ralph Stover in bitterness of
spirit, curses t lie hour in which he was
lead to insult a customer who chanced to
be habited in the garb of a laboring Man.
Wedding Jest. The Zanesville (Ohio)
Times tells the following : At a recent
wedding among the first families of this
city, quite a sprightly joke was perpetra
ted, but just upon whom the weight of U
fell is difficult to determine. While the
party were sitting around the supper table,
and before the distribution of the viands
had begun, the bride turned her plate over
and drew from under it a slip of paper,
which, upon reading, she discovered to be
a check for five thousand dollars, payable
to her order, rlubhed wuh joy, she of
couisc - passed it to her husband, who
hastily cast his eyes over it, and, in turn,
passed it to a gentleman friend at hand,
who likewise perused it, but pretending
ignorance of the object of the gift, handed
it to the clergymau in attendance, who
without a word, began to pocket it with
that hilarious motion and flush of counte
nance which indicated that it was the best
fee he had ever received for officiating at
a weddiug.
The eyes of the three were at once fixed
upon him in surprise and consternation.
The bride, of course, would not speak for
five thousand dollars, and the bridegroom
was entirely too happy to utter a word,
and even if he felt like it, his relations
were loo recently formed to, assume con
trol of his wife's property, and the friend
who had got them into the trouble too
sensibly appreciated the joke to say a word,
while the clergyman -well be didn't think
of anything but going right straight otf to
the bank and drawing the money. How
ever, before be had got the check com
fortably nestled in bis vest pocket, the
friend who had passed it to him issued
his order in the following words ; "Take
that check out of your pocket I" to which
the clergyman promptly obeyed, and all
parties were at once relieved of suspense.
the joke, however, was duly appreciated,
and by none better than the clergyman
himself. N .' -

woman's rights movement includes the
right to do the courting. If it does, she

very bashful. There is something practi

A STHLGGLC FOR LIFE.
An Exciting Incident Inrlnri Fresh
et in the Jamc llivcr.
The recent terrible freshet in the James,
the Shenandoah, and other Virginia rivers,
recall to my memory an exciting incident
which I witnessed at Richmond more than
twenty years ego.
It occurred at "the falls" opposite
which the city stands a point at which
the river, rushing over a bed of rocks more
or les9 elevated above the surface, forms
a variety of rapid streams, in which it
was at that time the habit of boys to
swim. When the river is low, these
streams are comparatively safe to the
bather, if he is a good swimmer; but,
when the current is swolen by rains, they
become very violent and dangerous eo
dangerous, indeed, that the best swim
mers make haste to get ashore.
At the time mentioned I was bathing
in the falls, when the sudden rising of the
stream warned me ot the coming danger,
and I hurried from the water. In an in
conceivably brief space the river rose sev
eral feet ; and half an hour afterward,
the whole breadth of the falls was a roar
ing, raging, foaming mass of waves, dash
ed against the jagged rocke, to fall back
in clouds of foam. The spectacle was at
once beautiful and terrible. The citizens
had hastened down to witness the sight ;
crowds lined the bank ; and all eyes were
directed toward Mayo's Bridge, against
which the waves were beating with ever
increasing force when suddenly intelli
gence ran through the crowd that a boy,
who ban been swimming, was caught on
a mass of rock, in mid current, in the
falls above.
With the rest I hurried to the point of
interest, and reached the banks opposite
the rocks upon which the boy had taken
refuse. It rose about fifty yards from
the shore, and was already environed by
tho raging current which boiled around
it, throwing up clouds of foam. The boy
was about sixteen, slender, entirely naked,
for his clothes had been washed away,
and we could see that he was white with
the anticipatation of swifily-coming des
truction. He clung to a mass of shrubs
growing out of the rock, and his eyes
were alternately turned to the furious tor
rent around him and upon the crowd en
shore.
Many hundred persons bad quickly as
sembled, and each one hurriedly suggested
some means of rescue. None seemed
possible. No boat could live for a mo
ment in such a torrent the waves would
have dashed it to pieces against the rocks.
rhe only possible means of saving ihe
boy's life seemed to be for some one to
swim to him with a rope ; but to attempt
hat appeared to bo going to certain death,
and, intense as the pity and sympathy of
the crowd bad become, no one seemed
willing to essay the desperato enterprise.
Meanwhile the water steadily rose higher
and grew ever more threatening. Rocks
in the current one large one especially
which a moment before had been visable
ust above the surface, now entirely dis
appeared ; the roaring waters steadily
crawled up the sides ot the mass upon
which tho boy stood, and at last the angry
waves washed his very feet as he clung
desparingly to the swaying shrubs. A
few moments now, all saw plainly, would
end the tragedy. liie unhappy boy
would bo quickly washed away or sub
mered. In either event ho would be
swept to the jagged ledges below and his
frail form dashed to pieces.
The excitement of the crowd had be
came intense. Jiivery one held bis breath,
paralysed by this spectacle of a human
being about to be swept to destruction.
All at once, however, a loud shout arose.
Every one hastened to the spot wheie a
man was tt.rowing ou uis clonics, a
brave spirithad resolve! to attempt the
rescue of the boy, and I hurried with the
rest to look at him. As I reached him
he had stripped naked for the desperate
wrestle. He was a tall, powerfully-form
ed young man, of twenty-two or three ap
parently, an employee, it was said, in one
of the great manufactories on the river,
and his clear, brave eyes gave no signs of
fear. Without a word he addressed him
self to his perilous work. Going up the
river bank one or two kunured yards
above, he tied the end of a ball of twine
to his body, mounted upon a ledge, made
a vigorous dive to reach the open current,
and rising struck out vigorously amid tho
hu"e ' waves. The crowd shouted and
then held their breath, gazing at the' fig
ure of the swimmer, who seemed like a
mere leaf upon the furious torren. He
was swept along like lightning, dashed
over the huge hidden rock I have mention
ed, and through the great mass of foam
which marked it ; a moment afterward
another shout ascended, like a roar, from
the crowd the swimmer had reached the
rock whereon the boy stood, and had
clutched a hanging fhrub which enabled
him to draw himself up out of the chal
dron. We could then follow all bis move
ments. They were rapid, decisive, and
elf-posse3sed.; Indeed, not an. mstap
was to be lost. The water boiled already
over thefsumiait of the mass o' rock,
above which the ber.ding scrubs were
now seen. The young rr.an. hastily, drew
toward him the twin, to which those on
shore had attached a rope of the sige of a
garden line. The rope at last reached
him ; be clutched it, almost fiercely, tied
it around the boy's waist, then in the
same manner secured it around, his own
NUMBER 44.
perfon he in advance and then, just
as the "bell of waters" foamed up around
him, surging waist-high, he threw himself
into the current, drawing the boy after
him toward the shore, where a hundred
hands were dragging at the rope.
That, few moments struggle with the
fury of the flood was one of the most ex
citing incidents which I have ever wit
nessed. The spectacle was indeed fearful.
The lives of man and boy hung upon :i
thread. A thrill ran through all hearts ;
a loud exclamation followed. The boy
had disappeared beneath the waves tho
rope pulled him under and then huge,
thundering, remorseless wall of foam rush
ed over the head of the young man too ; he
sank, the torrent swept over him, and not
a trace of either man or boy was visable
to the agonized eyes of the lookers on.
A moment afterward what seemed two
corpses were dragged on shore out of the
current. A dozen hands caught them,
and feeble movement of the young man's
hand indicated that he was not dead-
He felt for the rope around bis. The
rope had buried itself nearly, cutting into
his flesh ; he was suffocating.
The rope was severed instantly, and a
long breath from the violet lips indicated
the immense relief.. An instant after
ward the young man rose to his feet, and,
as he did so, the boy, who had been assi
duously cared for, also opened his eyes,
uttered a deep sigh, and then smiled, lie
was snatched from the very jaws of death;
and the courage of an unknown friend
had alone saved him.
I looked at that friend. He was smi-.
ling, too, and receiving, with tho modest
air of a brave man, the praises of the
crowd.
"I thought at one time that I was
gone," the boy said to him, feebly. The
brave young man laughed.
"I only ask one thing," he said, "that
the man who cut that rope will sell me
the knife that cut it." John Eaten Cooke,
in Apphton s Journal. I "
Making Haste to be Rich. izr
per's liazar has a very sensible editorial
on this subject, which concludes as fol
lows : One of the strongest feelings of
the day is the disposition of men to protect
themselves as far as possible against the
uncertainties which make eo large an ele
ment in human affairs. In itself this is
a I ui feeling. Without it much of his
intellectual and moral nature lies dormant.
Of late years this feeling has greatly in
creased. Unquestionably it has done a
vast amount of good to society. But it
now threatens us with a maniacal sort of
excitement that is feeding the money-fury
of the times. Under cover of providing
against accidents the spirits ot gambling
is working its way through all classes of
society. Risks are pitted against risks.
The bread of to day is hazarded against
the bread of to-morrow; a most morbid
sense of uneasiness as to the future is seiz
ing every one's mind ; and gradually but
fatally a deep sense of the moral laws of
the world is yielding to the wretchedness
of doubt and apprehension. Thousands
discard the doctrine of Providence.- Hold
ing such a creed in every day matters
a creed that banishes God from the marts
of trade and the enterptises of commerce,
a creed that glorifies success as the product
of energy only, and builds man's throne
as the ordering and disposing sovereign of
nature -living by such a creed, what.can
result but that worst of profanity, that
basest of blasphemy, which wipes out the
image of God from human society, and
stamps in its stead the bloated likeness of
self?
An Injun sat in a garden drinking lager
beer, he had left his wigwam on the
plains and his squaw wasn't near ; and a
Dutch girl stood beside him to hear what
he should say, and replied to his Injun
jargon, nix cum bcrnun unt nix verstay.
This beery Injun blubbered as he took
that Dutch girl's hand, and said : Me
