Anon, as many a year went by, Those sowers came once more, And wandered 'neath the leaf-hid sky. And wondered at the store For fruit hung hero, and fruit hung there. And fruit hung everywhere.

"Clara," eaid he, "if yon had asked a doaeu people here, my only thought would be how beet to welcome tliem. " "You are not a housekeeper," said Clara, coldly, "with a sick cook, and everything in disorder. " Wliaw r said Mr. Anleu, as he went out, closing the door behind him, with more emphasis than was absolutely necessary. " Men are so selfish, so inconsiderate!" she said to herself. "As it I would brave the criticism of Oscar Fen wick, who Las , dined at Parisian restaurants, and kn,.w half a dozen aristocratic families, where they keep mkn-eooka, and butlers, and regular dining-room servants. It's quite out of the question, and so Charles may as well understand first as last. If Brid get hadn't been ill with the intermittent fever, I might, perhaps, have tried to get up a dainty little dinner; but as it is, no one but a man would expect it of me." So Mrs. Arden adjusted her pretty, shining braids of brown hair iu the glass, and nestled down in the corner of the sofa, to forget the wearisome trials and vicissitudes of real life in the pages of the morning papers. It was late in the afternoon when a visitor was announced, with rather start ling abruptness, by the red-anned inaid of-all-work, who was trying to supply the vacant place of the disabled Bridget, according to the beat of her ability. " Please, mem. it's Mrs. Mar ley." Clara started up. half ashamed of being caught in her morning robe so late in the day. " If it was anv one but yon, Mrs. Mar ley," said she, laughing and blushing, " I should apologize for my shortcom ings. As it is, you are just in time to take off your things and stay to dinner with me." I am alone to-night, and your society will be a real charity." "Why, where is your husband?" asked tlie vfiutor, is surprise. " Dining <Wtt. '* * " Where ?" " I dont know. The fact is, he met an old oollegefripnd this morning. And in a burst of inconsiderate hospitality—so like a man, you know—invited him to dinner. Of coarse, I refused to ratify the invitation. What could I do, with Bridget ill in bed ? So I told him he must take his friend to a restaurant, or some such place. He assented with rather a bail grace, 1 must confess, so here I am, alive." Mrs. Marley was s pretty, fair-oom plexioned lady, with hair as white as snow. One iff these gentle, helpful, motherly sort of persons, who are in valuable to their friends. She shook her head as she listened to Mrs. Arden's story. " Don't you tbiak I did right, Clara asked, impuliively. "Just consider how 1 am sitaatod 1" "It would Lave been some trouble and responsibility, " yid Mrs. Marley, " to superintend the preparation of such a meal as you would like to ask your hus band's guest to sit down to; but I think I should have advised you to try." " But why f , "In the first place, as a compliment to your husband." Clara shrugged her shoulders. "We are old married people now," said she. " Only think, it is surely three years since oqr wedding day —and ail this sentimeuVil billing and oooing is worn out." " Heal H'-atiucut between husband and wife should newer wear out," said Mrs. Mar ley, mildly. " Dejieud upon it, my love, your husband will appreci ate aiiy delvite tilde attention now qnite as much as in thadays of your engaged life. But this ie-toot all. Let me tell you a little experience of my own. I had a brother oqce—a very dear brother. He died of delirium tremens." " Oh, Mrs. Mar ley!" Clara Anlen placed a sympathetic hand in that of her friend, for she saw that the pretty old lady had grown pale, and trembled. "Yes, my dear," wept on Mrs. Marley. " He had a gay', pretty, young wife, who disliked the cared of housekeeping—and it was an understood thing between them that any gentleman guests whom it fell Clement's lot to entertain should be taken to some hotel or restaurant. Well, my dear, you know how it was. The wine flowed freely—there was no feminine presence to restrain the false idea of good-fellowship. Clement ac quired the fatal habit Of indiscriminate drinking, and the upshot of it all was, that he filled a drunkard's grave. Per haps I was uncharitable, but 1 have always thought tliat had <lii3 wife made her home agreeable to her husband and his guests, things might have ended differently.^ "But, Mrs. Marley," cried Clara, much shocked, " this is quite a different thing!" 11" Ido not say that it is not, Clara. I only want to warn you against the rock on which my poor sister-in-law's life was wrecked. Of what use is all onr sad and hardly-won experience, if not to caution others a little ?" Clara was silent for a minute or two, and when she spoke again, it was on quite a different topic. ' Mrs. Marley stayed and dined with her sff the cold joint and simple salad, ami went home at about eight o'clock. And then came the JcM-T, lonely eve ning, during which Chwx eat by the window, waiting and liptening^for every sound, nenroanly impatient for her bus band's return. " . " Of ooaise, he is not the sort of man to drink too muchV" she told herself, over and cycr -egain; " bnt—but lam almost sorry I was so obstinate abont not asking Mr. Fenwiok to dinner.

Nine o'olodk struck -thru ton -then eleven- -and Clara sprung up and began pacing the room in her nervousness. "I wish lie would comeF'ahe cried, wringing her liamla. " 1 wish lie would come !" Just then there was acme disturbance iu the street ; ami glad at all hazards to eeca(x> flora her own harassing thoughts, Clara threw OJHIU the window and thrust out hi't head. There was a little crowd at the corner of the street, and she could distinctly hear the jeering voicca of aoran of the little atriHd Arabs crviug out: " It's only a drunken man! Hallo, mister, you'll find your hat in the gutter ! Can't you tell where you live ? Go ami aak tui officer." Clara's head turned eold aa ioe. Could it ho jgrnsible ? Was this poor, stagger ing creature, whose uncertain step af forded amusement to a mob of boy*, her noble liusluuid? Had he so far forgotten himself ami her ? And if so, at whose door lay the fault ? Smirr and nearer came the little crowil. Clara drew 111 her head, ami closed the window. She could not l>ear to have the dreed fill probability con firmed. She stopped her ears; she buried her face in the pillows fif the sofa. •• Why. Clara, little -wife, what's tlie matter ? v It was Charley's voice- not the maud lin accent* of semi-intoxication, but the full, deep tones of the man she felt she could yet honor, a* well a* love and obey. ' She hanked up wtth a little hvatcriCal laugh. '" Oh, Charley, I was frightened t A , druukea man in the street,you know " " Yea, 1 passed him.

I" I am so glad you have come, Char ley," said sbe. "I have hail a great many compunctions of conscience tins afternoon, because I didn't make Mr. Fen wick welcome to the best I bail in tlie house, instead of sending you off to a restaurant." " We went to Leinonde's," said Char ley. "Tiaa dinner was stylish eooivgh, but nothing letter than you could have given us st home." "And, Chsrley," Clars, softly, "die next time vou invites friend to iftne sridi you, you may be i-ertam that my welcome will be remly." ! '"That's my owa dear little Clara," said Charley. And the hearty satisfac tion in his face w as a reward for any sac rifice she might lie called npou to make, j " A fellow likes to feel, you know, when he meets an old chum, that he has a home to ask hiut to, and a wife that will meet hint with a smile." " But I ain sorry about Mr. Fen wick." " Never mind. He will be iu town again one of these days, and then we'll show him what a home-made dinner is— eh, Clara ?" And Clara's smile answered him. She had hail her lesson. She was not likely to forget it The Two Bills.-A Fable. Two bills were waiting in the bank for their turn to go out into tlie world. One was a little bill—ouly one dollar; the i other was a big bill—a thousand dollar bilL While lving there side by side they fell a-talking atxmt their useful ness. The-dollar bill murmured out: " Ah. if I were as big a* you, what Exal I would do. I could move in such gh places and people would tie so . I careful of me wherever I should go. Everybody would admire anil want to take me home with theui, but small as I am, what good can I do ? Nobody cares much for me; I am too little to be of any nse." " Ah, ves, that is so !" said the thon • sand dollar bill; and it haughtily gath -1 ered np its well-trimmed edge* Uiat were : lying next to tlie little bill in conscious superiority. "That is so," it repeated. "If yon - were as great as I am—a thousand times bigger than yon are—then vou might ' j hope to do some good in the world." , f And its face smiled into a wrinkle of contempt for the little dollar bill. Just then tlie cashier comes, takes the ' little murmuring bill and kindly gives it to a poor widow. "God bless you !" she cries, as with a smiling face she receives it, "Mv dear , hungry children can now have some • bread." > A thrill of joy ran through the little r bill as it was foldej up in the widow's • hand anil it whispered: " I may do some goxl if I am small." And when it saw the bright faces of the fatherless childreu it was very glad ■ that it oonld do a little good. Then the little dollar bill began its t journey of usefulness. It went first to i the baker for bread; then to the miller; • then to the fanner; then to tlie laborer; > then to the doctor; then to the minis ' ter; and wherever it went, it gave pleas i ore, adding something to their comfort >! and joy. r At last, after a long, long pilgrimage r | of usefulness among every sort of people, [ it came buck to the bank again crumpled, , defaced, ragged, softened by its daily - nse. Seeing the thousand dollar bill i ! lying there with scarcely a wrinkle or a , finger mark upon it, it exclaimed: " Pray sir, and what has been your ; mission of usefulness?" > The big bill sadly replied: " I have lieen from safe to safe among i the rich where few could see me, and r j they were afraid to let me go out far, lent I should lie lost. Few indeed are J they whom I have made happy by my , mission," i The little dollar bill said: " It is better to be small and go among t multitudes doing good than to be so great as to be imprisoned in the safes of the few." t And it rested satisfied with its lot Moral; The doing of little every-day duties makes one the mont useful and A Fatal Bud About Five Dollar*. Colonel J. B. Vinton, sheriff of Frio eouuty, brought iu word of the killing jof two young men named Virgil Ridge way and Frank Connelly. Ridgeway and Connelly and two hired men were out on a cow hnnt, and hail cnmpi-d near a Mexican's house. Connelly went to Ridgeway and and asked for five dollars, saying that lie wanted to go down to the Mexican's house and gamble. Ridge way gave biia the money, bnt told him i not to stay long. Connelly left, and did I not retnm a* soon as expected, and when , he tlid return, Ridgeway told him that j he hod no further use for his services, and asked him to pay back the five dol j lars. Connelly said, " Maylie you think ' you can make me pay it back." Ridge way said he could make him, and was I going to do so. Connelly then drew his | six-shooter, and Ridgeway picked up a ! Winchester rifle and jumped behind n ! tree, and both fired at abont the same ! time, and both were struck in the bow els. The two boys who were with them ran off, and returned with assistance, af j ter being abseut a considerable tune. 1 Both the woundKl men had crawled off j together to a pond at some little dis tance, where tliev were found covered with mnd, Conneily dead, and Ridgeway , mortally wounded.

While a gentleman and lady were sailing on the Sound, between By ram 'Shore and Captain's Island Lighthouse, their attention was attracted by a queer hissing noise and a roaring sound, and they soon discovered, not an eighth of a mile distant., a monster of the deep ad vancing rapidly. This monster stood up straight, was apparently as large round as a hogshead, showed an enormous head, and exhibited not less than fifteen or twenty feet of his length. He ad vanced a short distance in this upright manner, when, with a roar and a hiss be sank completely out of Bight, only to reappear in a few moments, uncomfort ably near the boat. The party made haste for the shore, and were soon out of harm's way. The monster is evidently neither whale, porpoise nor shark.

As he leaned across the railing talking with the sergeant, the door opened agaiu, followed by a gray-haired ohl man, on whose face tlie sergisuit and the man from Washington square read: "I am looking for my daughter," as easily as moat lueu could have read the words from a printed page, for loug experience had made them skilled in faces, and the nrecinct is full of liviug graves, and fathers and .bro titer* mine searching often. Guided by the ward deteet-ive they atart-d out again, and the man from the park followed.

Then the door dew Imok, the gan jet in tlie near let globe in the vestibule dared in the draft, and there came crowding into the atreet a motley throng, young men and old, and women, aome in ntreet attire, nome in evening drees, and othera whose con tame was like that worn by ballet girln. An tlie lant came out, a little wreath of ■unoke curled ailcntly after her, and police officers pressed back acroaa tlie street the quickly g*tlier<d throng. Three minutes later a steamer came plunging round the corner from Bleecker ntreet, and soon other* came ; but the fire was quicker than they, and flames aud unoke poured from nearly every opening. •• Everybody out ?" anked an officer of one of the women. " All but one," and at tlie name mo ment that one appeared at a window in the topmost ntory, and looked down upon the surging multitude. Fire aliot up from beneath and drove her back, but alie came again and stretched out her arms iuiploriugly, and when, with all the rent, the old man looked up at tlie shuddering woman he saw hut daughter. He would have rushed in to nave her, but a fireman, whose beard was curled close to Jiin face where the fire had scorched it, amiled grimly at his impetuosity, and smiled agsin an he turned toward tlie building which was filled aud sheathed with tire. Nothing but ladders would do now. "Oh ! for a ladder 1" sang out a voice from the crowd, and as if in answer they heard above the clatter and roar of tlie engines a welcome sound, distanced somewhat by intervening buildings, but still assur ing, the irregular booming of a hook and ladder truck's gong, made fainter now and then by tlie attenuation that follows swift movement, but coming nearer and nearer, and bursting out clear and strong an the horses came tearing round the corner, guided by reins that were as straight as bands of steel, leading back to a square-shouldered, angle - faced, blue-shirted man, whose seat w as as firm as though he hail been bound to a rock. What a driver! Serure past every obstruction, straight to ihe burning building, the trtirk came booming down to the clangor of going, and the sharp, ker-lamp! ker-lamp 1 ker-hunp! ker-lamp! of iron-ah od hoofs that beat an tnie together a* any matched pair of thoronghbreda, and be fore the wheels had ceased revolving the men were on the ground, a ladder off, it* foot braced against the curbstone, and it* up|>er end circling in the air, and while yet it trembled over the pavement a fireman viu springing up from rung to rung to be at the top when it should fall against the building. Quivering uearer and nearer to the woman the lad der drew, carrying Uie fireman with arms outstretched, and it has almost touched the wall when a great blast of fire and amoke belched ont, shrouded the woman and blowing away the ladder to fall crashing in the street; and when the draught drew it ngnin it disclosed the .woman clinging to the window sill. \ shudder ran along the crowd and fixed every eve upon the spectacle, ao that they failed to see a man who had jumped into the patrol wagon, a big, powerful nan, with an immense red-bro#B mous tache from which the dye had almost ioded, leaving only a fringe of black along the lower edge*. Seizing a coil of rope, he sprang into the open space that the heat hod cleared in front of the burning building. Coolly, bnt with marvelous quickie-. he knotted the end of the rope, arid in another instant he had made a running uooae. Then he took up the coil ami spread it out along hiH left arm, so that it would run free, stepped back, measured with his eye the distance to the chimney that rose above the window, and then deftly threw the noose. It went sailing np, circled for a moment over the chimney, and then fell arouud it, and in another instant the crowd saw a big man going hand-over hand np the rope. Emerging from a cloud of smoke, they saw him swing him self alongside the woman. " Pat your arms around my neck, my dear." If she had been blind she would have known that the voice was of a man it was safe to trust, and when she obeyed him he put one strong arm aronnd her waist, and then swung clear again afid slipped down along the rope, appearing and disappearing as he slid swiftly through the fire and smoke; and when, scorched and black, but safe, he struck the ground, he was glorified in a burst ! of applause that drowned the tiumilt of connargation. Of all that were there the hero was the only man that pre served his equanimity. Leading the girl to her father he hud her hand in his. The old man drew her close to him and covered her face on his breast, and threw his arms aronnd her head, as thongh shielding that he might also heal the wounded heart; and extending the other hand to her preserver, 1 e begged biß name. For the first time in the night aclond settled on the big man's face, and he looked at his questioner in credulously. He was chagrined for himself and sorry for the old man, and he said, with a little deprecatory Sourish of a scorched hand: "Wh-at? You ; don't know Bill Cary ?

That man is educated who knows himself, and takes accnrate common-sense views of men and things around him. Some very learned men are the greatest fools in this world ; the reason is, they are not educated men. Learning is only the means, not the end ; its value consists in giving the means of acquiring, the use of which, properly managed, enlightens the mind.

It VM 146 lefore we began even to aee our way clear. It WM a constant struggle. A tltrcealollar way hill wa* a wonder." At first bills and letter* were the princijtal freight, but jmreels tegun to come in, and after a while trunks, boxee and bundles. Thia necessitated a porter, but for a long tune a boy and aw heel barrow did all tin* collecting and dis tributing. Then they got a home and wagon—a step which was pondered long before it was taken. All the parties m tereeLxl were fond of horwea. Mr. Adams had in early life looked forward to the day when liia ambition would !M< erowued as he took his scat upou the box of a stage, with the riblxvus of a four-horse team ui his fist. Mr. Dins more, as a harness maker, was brought IU contact with horsemeu, and knew about horse*. Iu late yearn Messrs. Adam* and Sanforil have been noted for tlieir a tables, an.l held the reins over tbe best blood in the land. With the pur chase of the horse and wagon came a new lleld of operation*, The New York and Now Haven Railroad, just then rvu plcted, offered them faeilitn** and ex clusive contracts for carrying mouey and sfhall packages ill what was known as a P. I'. truck over its line. For tlii* Adams A Co. contracted to pay, with fear and trembling in their boots, the euornioua suiu of Sl,"Off a month, but almost at tlie very tart it proved a pav ing venture —indeed, the venture which determined them to coutinue in their business. The next step was to carry freight for merchant* at either end of the line, and U> establish agencies along the route a* wall; and in lean than three years the whole custom of the country was changed, almost all the light freight and aorna of tlie heavier lx<iug sent bv railroad express, instead of ou the boat* as freight. The government was not slow to fol low the example of the banks and mer chants, and seut for Mr. Attain* to go to Washington. He went, and made so good an impression that t contract was at once entered into by which the com pany were to carry over all their line* tho'guveruuieut treasure. When the war broke out this duty meant much more than in ordinary times. Millions were sent by Adams A Co. every day all over the coiitineut; sometimes millions in coin, sometimes in bills or bonds. At time* tliey hail armed guards to protect the treasure, but, as n rule, the govern ment agent took the company's simple receipt, and left the rest to the agents. When the California fever broke out in 1549, Mr. Adams was first in the field, and sent out an express nnder Mr. D. H. Haskel, one of the keenest men in the service. He took out a wooden shanty for an offioe, and soon made the place headquarter* for all the wise men of tlie East. Those were golden dnys. The trouble, expoßure, risk, danger, and cost of running an express to Sou Francisco, and thence to the interior, can never be known-by bereeay. The mees.ngers were honest, for they carried millions safely. Attacked by robbers, caught in turbid streams, tempted by new diggings, and harassed br hardship* and fatigues, tbev did their devoir like heroes. After the'express had been doing finely, in an evil day they opened a bank. When Mr. A<iams went to San Francisco tho whole town rose at him. He went t<> inspect, but he had no time for that. He was wined all day and dined all night He was carried from point to point in u carriage drawn by four horses and treated like a prince. When he got back he said he didn't know whether he was Alvin Adams or the Great Mogul. At all events, he knew he hadn't done what lie went to do. Ex press charges at the East were moderate; in California they were outrageous.

During the great finan cial Bcare the California branch of Adam* & Co. went under. Fortunately the business hern in different shape. A stock company was formed with a capital of 81,000,0U0. called the Adams Express Company, and as the business had n sumed colossal proportions, Mr. Adnms, who wss seriously crippled by the Cali fornia failure, was not many years in ex tricating by tlie dividends accruing to his share of the stock. Mr. Dinsmore had graduated from the happy-go-lucky harness maker into the calm and portiv president of the com pany. That position he still holds, ss ne "does a large amount of the stock. Mr. Hoey, who used to count Dews papen and deliver letters, was tnsde superintendent of the great establish ment, married the dramatic favorite, Mrs. Russell, and is to-day a Long Branch millionaire. Mr. Hanford, whose eager pleadings for a job enlisted the sympathy of Dinsmore, has left off bill sticking. He was for a long time agent in Philadelphia, then turned his atten tion to tht American Telegraph Com pany, then the Western Union, married a daughter of the veteran jeweler, Geo. R.

Tbeae facta may account in part for change* in pursuit. In this change two facta are noticeable: 1.

The Manaarli tine lis eeu son of 1875 report* under the hear) " Ag ricnlttire," 2,000 pemm# leaa Uuui the I'm ted Htaten evnann of 1870. The state ment made in tins paper go to establish these general farts: 1. There hiut been within a half a cen tury a great change of residence among the New England people, both by immi grating out of these States and by mi grating in each Slate from the cvmntry to the city. 3. There has been a marked change in buniiieea, men largely giving up manual abor and exchanging the farm for the shop, the store and the uull. 8. A change also iu numbers and character, the removal of more than half a million of New Kiiglanders of these States, and the introduction into their places of a still larger numlicr of permma bora in other oouutiiea. 4. The birth-rate of New Enghuulera has for a long time been gradually de clining—appnswliiug nearer and nearer to the death-rate, so that their increase from tin* source has become, a* a whole, small, aud iu some localities ia doubtful; whereas, it is an intablialied fact that the birth-rate of the foreign element ia twice that of tlie American, ao that the probabilities are that the former class will steadily gmu in numbers upon tlie latter. There are in New England, according to the last Catholic IHrrctory, 588 Catholic priests, 508 churches, 167 alia. jx-ln and nUtious, in a Catholic popula tion of aliout 8110,000 amis, and it is evi dent, from un examination of the list of the churches, that a large proportion of them are in tlie small towns and rural districts of these State* Nearly twenty-five per cent, of the present population of New England is ' composed of Itouuui Cathulica, and ucar ly seventy per cent, of the births in that j region are those in Roman Catholic families.

In every house be entered small groups of dead were lying shockingly mutilated and in the most revolting ptmitions. Captain M'Colmont, who visited the plnae shortly after the Hitsaian relief, states that it is entirely deserted and a mere heap of ruins ; also, that soldiers were employed for six davs in burying the dead, the number of whom it was hr-Twible to estimate.
