All things of beauty are not their's alono
Who hold the fee; but unto him no less
Who can enjoy, than unto them who own,
Are sweetest uses given to possess.
For Heaven is , bountiful ; and suffers
none
To make monopoly of aught that's fair;
The breath of violets is not for one,
Nor loveliness of women ; all may share
Who can discern; and He who gave the
law,
"Thou shalt not covet !" gave the subtle
power
By which, nnsinning, I may freely draw-
Beauty and fragrance from each perfect
flower
That still in maiden pride adorns the lea,
Or In my neighbor's garden blooms for

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY
A. SHORT STORY OF A CLERK.
A young man by the name of Ames, a
clerk for a merchant in New York, was en
trusted with a large amount to collect,
which he performed honestly, so well as
his employer could discover; but Smith,
that was the merchant's name—was a very
cautious man, and often laid "traps" to
catch his clerks in defrauding him, if any
of them were not proof against dishonest/.
In this way he ascertained which of them
could be trusted, and when he found one o
them dishonest he would discharge him.
Mr. Smith kept a wholesale and retail
dry-goods store, doing =immense business,
and after he had accomplished a fortune,
and he had begun to think of retiring from
business, he said, "Now I am going to give
up my business to such of my clerks as I
know to be honest. I shall test them one
by one, and to-morrow I am going to see
what Ames is—an honest young man or a
rascal."
The next morning he called upon a friend,
whose son was intimate with young Ames,
and arranged a "trap" to test his honesty.
He had a large number of accounts to col
ect that day, and Robert L— (his friend's
son) was to meet him as if by accident.
Robert managed to meet Ames just as he
had completed his collection, and had a
large roll of bills and "lots" of currency,
when the following conversation ensued :
"Good morning, Ames—been out collect
ing? Got lots of money, I suppose ?"
"Yes I've over a thousand dollars and I
must hurry back to the store, as I'm afraid
I may get robbed. One don't know who
may be dogging his steps in such a city as
New York."
"Don't be in a hurry. Let's go into Tay
lor's and get some ice cream, Lk. I'll foo
the bill."
And so into Taylor's they went and sa
down to a beautiful marble table.
"Now, Ames," said Robert, "you have a
pocket full of money and I am rather short,
just take a dollar out of the roll of green
backs and pay the bill. Nobody need know
about it. You can turn over the money to
the cashier, and if he discovers it short one
dollar, you may say you can't account for it,
some mistake somewhere. Such errors oc
cur often, you know, and nobody thinks
one dishonest. I tell you, Ames, such chaos
as you don't get more than half paid for
their services, and it would not be wrong
occasionally to take a few shillings when it
can be done without detection. I know a
young fellow who pays all his small bills,
such as juleps, cigars, and going out to
the theaters, in that way, and has done so
for years, and his employer never suspected
him of dishonesty."
"No sir," replied Ames. "I cannot com
ply with your request. A dollar short in
my cash might be considered an error and
overlooked; but there would come a settle
ment with conscience, which could not be
got over very easily. My father- used to
say to me "Johnny, when you grow to be
a man remember honesty is the best policy."
He's dead and gone now, but these words
will never be furgotton. I know I'm work
ing for low wages, but I agreed to work
for what I receive, and I have no right to
use my employer's money on that account.
No, Robert, I refuse your request with
scorn and indignation. I am poor, bat
thank God, I have never yet taken money
that did not belong to me, and I trust I
never shall ; and if this is the way you seek
to turn young men from the path of recti
tude, I desire never to met you again."
Ames then arose and lett Robert seated
and returned to the store.
The next day Mr. Smith called his clerks
into his private office and told them all to
be seated.
"Boys," said he, "I am going to retire
from business. I have made my fortune
here, and now I-propose to loan my entire
stock and trade—souto $250,000 and the
good will of my customers--to such of you
as I feel I can trust. Ames, Stanton and
Danford"—handing a document to Ames—
"here is the bill of sale. You will, If agree..
able, take immediate possession, and the
payments can be made at your convenience.
I have tested your honor, each of you, no
matter how, and I have no doubt that you
believe honesty is the best policy. Good
morning, gentlemen"—taking up his hat.
"I wish you prosperity in trade."
The firm of "Ames, Stanton & Danford"
is now one of the wealthiest in New York.
Ames is married—lives ow- Fifth 'Avenue,
is worth half a million, and all the result
of the refusal to embezzle a dollar of his
employer's money.
PRAYER—AN DMIDENT.—For fourteen
years a father and mother prayed for a way
ward boy. Daring this period they many
times fixed a date inside of which they ex
pected his conversion. One after another
of these times passed by, until fourteen
years had gone.
The father was going out one morning,
when his good wife laid her hand upon his
arm and said, "Father, have you forgotten
prayers ?" "No," was the husky reply.—
have'nt forgotten, but it's no use. God
does not hear us." The, wife's eyes were
full of tears: "Well, let ` us pray that God
will make us more earnest, and then, per
haps, he will answer our prayer." He went
out to the barn, and then his wife's words,
his overburned heart, and the habit of years
led him to fall upon his knees and prey for ,
more earnestness, and to again beseech God
to convert his boy. His boy heard the
prayer, and wishing to get away so that he
might not hear more, went to the house.—
Going past his mother's room he heard her
voice raised in prayer for more earnestness,
and in supplication for him. He paused,
overcome, and then went in and kneeling
down by her and putting his arms around
her neck, said, "Mother, God knows you
are in earnest, and He has answered your
prayers..
"I.nevs the best wife In the world," said
it long ordering husband ; 4 5she always

A SKETCH Or iNINBAY-ATIREET
SCENES.
"Carleton," the lively correspondent of
the Boston Journal, Is writing some inter
esting letters from India. We quote below
from one, of them :
Would that the farmers of New England,
who, about these days, are driving their
teams afield, could see how the Ilindoos
manage their oxen. Think of a pair of lean,
lank kine, with horns eighteen inches long
sticking straight up into the air, with a great
hump on the back—over the shoulders a
straight piece of round wood—a limb of a
tree six inches in diameter for a yoke ; four
pins, each ten inches long, driven through
the yoke to keep it in place on the necks of
the animals: ropes instead of bows—not
lashed to the horns, but tied round the
necks ; a cord in the nostril of each ox, with
reins attached; a two wheeled cart, with
four seats, the driver sitting in front bare
headed, bare-armed, bare-footed, hare-leg
ged, barely dressed in every respect—one
bit of rag about the loias ; three Ilindoo
passengers as bare of clothing as himself,
the oxen upon the trot or canter, the dusky
John handling the reins adroitly, turning
sharp corners, picking his way through the
crowd as easily and quickly as the backmen
of your city can thread their course on
Washington street.
The peninsula is wider here and we soon
reach the suburbs, where the Europeans and
Parsees, and_ rich native merchants lire.—
We find broad avenues, as smooth as the sea
beach, shaded by tropical trees in great va
riety. We pass stately palaces surrounded
by spacious gardens. We look up the long
gravelled walks and behold flowers of every
hue--ezotics of the temperate zone mingled
with the flora of the tropics—oleanders,
magnolias, Laburnums, acacias, oranges and
lemons, honeysuckle, verbenas, roses, azali
as, petunias, tiger-lilies—the entire flora of
our green-houses blooming in the open air;
vines and creepers, clematis and jessamine
climbing the walls, over-running summer
houses ; trees, wholly unlike those which
we are accustomed to see—no elms, no
maples, or giant oaks, but the tall and
slender palm, the palmyra, the cocoanut
with their green plumes gracefully moving
in the breezes ; the baoyan, a forest in II
self, sending its new trunks down into the
generous earth and spreading its branches
far and wide, thickly throwing out its leaves,
making a delightful shade ; the india-rob-
ber tree, the teak, the fig, and mango. The
Parsee, as far as in him lies, makes his
earthly home a Paradise. His palace is
large and lofty. He has wide halls, deep
verandahs, and passage ways running in all
directions, so that, let the breeze come from
the sea or the mountains, from the north or
the south, it may sweep through his halls.
The Parsees are the Yankees of the East—
the business men who know the knack of
making money. They surpass the English
in the elegance of their residences. Getting
beyond the palaces and villas, we conic to
the plains, reaching northward and east
ward, bounded in the dim distance by moun
tains.
In approaching the city from the sea, or
looking down upon it from the hotel, we
see few spired,towers, and domes of church
es, temples or public buildings, but a long
reach of tiled roofs, wide streets, open lots,
patches of green foliage, with but few ob
jects to attract special attention.
I took an early walk before the sun was
up this morning, and saw some queer
scenes in the strees. The people were just
rising—hundreds of them from the ground
in front of their shops, men, women, and
children, where they had made their beds
for the night. Some were still asleep, and I
came near disturbing the slumbers of a
young man, as I turned a earner by frilling
over him. It does not takes Ilindoo long to
dress, especially when his only garment
is a strip of cloth around the loins. The
children, like those in many American
homes, were up bright .and early making
mud pies. I noticed they were not dressed
quite well enough to make their appearance
at a Sunday school. In a country where
the father and mother make a strip of cloth
of the size of a dash-wipes serve for full
dress, it is not in the nature of things that
their offspring should appear in coat, jacket
and pants, or crinol;.ne and trails, like those
young ladies of Boston use for sweeping
the streets. The costumes of the maidens
of the West,especially the ballroom dresses,
have longer skirts, and perhaps not quite so
low in the neck as the costumes worn by
their sisters of India ; but in the matter of
jewelry the dark featured ladies of this
country can beat them all hollow.
Take a look at this black haired creature,
fondling a little ebony imp, the likeness of
herself, in a doorway as we pass ; a gold
chain about her neck ; gold charms of the
size of a ten dollar gold piece dangling from
it; three silver bracelets on each wrist; an
armlet of silver on each arm, above the el
bow; so many rings on her fingers that you
cannot count them ; anklets, huge and
massive, upon each ankle ; tokts of the
same metal on her great toes; six gold
rings, with little bells attached, in each ear;
a gold brooch with a long pin thrust through
he left nostril! Can any fair maiden in
America exhibit so much jewelry ? See
how the fond mother has lavished her for-
une, regardless of expenses, upon the darl-
ng in her arms-riugs on its toes and its an-
kles, a silver chain clasping each of Its
chubby legs above the knee, a large chain
of elaborate workmanshipgirding the loins,
with charms and little silver bells attached,
rings on its fingers, bracelets on its arms,
another chain clasping the neck, rings in its
ears, a jewel in its nose : Quite a display
for a young girl who has not got around to
her first birthday anniversary.
The question is solved as to what becomes
(,f the silver. India absorbs it. A love of
ewelry is characteristic of mea as well as
women in India. The men wear bracelets
and nose-rings. The population of the
country is nearly one hundred and ninety
millions, and it may be set down that each
individual has upon an average four or five
rings, bracelets, or charms, usually of sil-
There are at least ten hundred million
ornaments among the natives, but no esti-
mate can be made of their value. Through
all ages India has swallowed up silver, and
he absorption is as great to-day as ever.—
The coin of the country is wholly silver--
rupees or half dollars. The native does
not like a gold currency. Attempts have
been made to introduce it, but without suc-
CE3
Te sum spent for liquor in the United
States in the year 1867 Is estimated at $ 2 , -
960,000,000, while the amount given for edu

for liquor, for eveq - dollar for education.
The amount spent annually for religious
purposes is about $30,000,000, or $1 for
religious and $93 for rum.
Joan Balance says that the alligator is
not a native of New England, because he is
too Useless to have been born there ; that
crabs were born in the water, but can live

In the village of W.. lived a man who
had once been a Judge of the county and
well known all over it by the name of
Judge L. He kept a store and saw mill and
was always sure to have the_best of a bar
gain on his side, by which means be had '
gained an ample fortune : and some did
not hesitate to call him the biggest rascal
in the world. Ile vats very conceited,
withal, and used to brag of his business
capacity, when any
one was near to listen.
One rainy day, as quite a number were
seated around the store, he began as usual
to tell of his great bargains, and at last
wound up with the expression :
"Nobody has ever cheated me, nor they
can't neither."
""judge," said an old man of the company,
"I've cheated you more than you ever did
me."
"How so ?' said the Judge.
• , "If you will promise you won't go to law
Vont it, nor do anything, I'll tell you; or
else I won't ; you're too much of a law char
acter for me." "Let's hear !" cried half a
dozen voices at once.
"I'll promise," said the Judge, "and treat
in the bargain Wpm have."
'Well, do you remember thal wagon you
robbed me of?'
"I never robbed you of any wagon. I
only got the beat of the bargain," said the
Judge.
"Well, I made up my mind to have it
back, find—
'l. - ou never did," interrupted the cute
Judge.
"Yes I did, and interest too."
"How so ?" thundered the now enraged
Judge.
"Well, you see, Judge, I sold you one
day a very nice pine log, and bargained
with you for a lot more. IVell, that log I
stole off your pile down by the mill the
night before, and the next day I sold it to
you. The next night I drew it back home,
and sold it to you the next day, and so I
kept on until you had bought your own
log of me twenty-seven times !"
"That's a lie!" exclaimed the infuriated
Judge, running to his book and 'examining
his log accounts ; "you never sold me
tewety-seven logs of the same measure
ment."
"I know it," said the vender in logs ; "by
drawing it back and forth, the end wore off,
and as it wore, I kept cutting the end off,
until it was only ten feet long—just fourteen
feet shorter than it was the first time I
brought it, and when it got so short, I drew
it home again and worked it up into
shingles, and the next week you bought
the shingles, and I concluded I bad got the
worth of my wagon back—and stowed
away in my pocket-book."
The' exclamation of the Judge was
drowned in the shouts of the bystanders,
and the log-drawer found the door without
the promised treat.
310TIISE'S CANDLIC.—Did you never
loiter besides your mother's stand in the old
fatally. kitchen? Perhaps it overlooked the
beautiful valley of the slow-winding Con
necticut, as my matter's did. Did you
never loiter beside that little charmed
"work-table" of a winter evening, and
watch the flickering blaze of that well-re
membered candle, and trace the outlines of
your childish image in its restlesss blaze ?
And when the door was suddenly opened
and shut, did you not please your childish
fancy, watching the flickerings of that
pliant flame, as it bent and swayed like a
fiery sapling before the windy current that
came in?
Such are some of the early recollections
and childish associations connected with
the kitchen candle. -
Another thing we remember was, that
when we took our candle to light ourselves
to bed we were so thoughtless as to pinch
the fire on the smoking wick after we had
blown out the blaze.. In such cases we
usually got a sharp burn between the thumb
and finger, and a pair of famous black spots
to match them. And sometimes it happen
ed that the thumb and fingers became typo
graphical during the night, and left their
imprint upon the sheet, not altogether to
the satisfaction of the dear woman we call
ed "mother," who sat so late at the kitchen
stand, by the old granite hearthstone, mend
ing our jackets and darning our socks.
You smile at the mention of these recol
lections. So do I, often, at the thought of
them. But sometimes I weep, too, that the
pleasant scenes they picture will never come
again to me in sweet reality, for the earliest
and sweetest aching of my heart is waken
ed when I think of them.
And tears of sadness, too, have wet my
cheek, that sometimes, in. those days of
headstrong haste, I grieved those faithful
guardians of my youth. And yet other
tears of sadness I have sometimes shed in
mournful selfishness that I shall never, once
again, this side the grave, behold the loving
eyes that looked se oft with me into the
blaze of that uuforgotten candle. I forget,
in my sorrow, that they are happy, for they
are gone above, the parents and some of the
children. But what wonder if we, of the
narrowing circle, sometimes do forget our
selves and sigh mournfully, as we behold
in the glas our gathering wrinkles, and feel
the multiplied infirmities of the flesh.

Ds. Holland does not like English hotels

of English railroads : "In the matter of
operating a hotel, the English are Just as
mach behind the Americans as they arc in
operating a railroad. The English hotel of

Tug PaosrEar.—The New York Times
of Monday thus editorially reviews the
prospects of the Republicans and Deido.
crats in the Presidential election :
"We are not disposed to be over-confident,
but we believe that the elections to be held
in Vermont and Maine, ou the ht and I Ith
of September, will result in strong Repub-
lican gains over the majorities of I S&7. In
California, which holds its election Septem
ber 2d, there was a Democratic majority of
over 9,000 last year. But the Republican
.te was then divided between two candi
dates. The State gave Lincoln a majority
of IS,Otin 1864, and we believe it will
give Grant as large a majority in Novem
ber.
On the 13th of October four States hold
elections—lowa, Indiana, Ohio and Penn
sylvania. West Virginia holds its election
on the 14th. In regard to the latter State
there is no doubt ; in 1866 the Republican
majority was nearly 7,000, and it will cer
tainly not be less this autumn. In both
lowa and Indiana we expect a Republican
majority equal to that of .1864. Ohio was
carried last year by a Republican majority
of 3,000 this autumn that mafority will be
increased, probably ten-fold. Pennsylva
nia last year gave the Democrats lees than
1,000 majority ; this year It bids fair, with
proper effort, to go Republican.
But, after all, our trust is not so much in
statistics as in the people, who have always
shown themselves equal to the emergency
presented. We know that a solid white
vote can carry all the Southern States for
Blair and Seymour ; we know also that
r many of the negroes will be coerced to vote
the same ticket. In those States, therefore,
we will not venture a prediction. But it
seems to us certain that in the Northern
States, where the people all vote freely,
there wilk-be so decided a majority for
Grant andtolfax that the Southern vote,
whichever way it may turn, will be of no
importance."
GEN. GRANT sr llous.—The President
of the Galena Bank, writing to a realtive
in Boston, gives the following account of
Gen. Grant's reception in Galena, on his
return from Colorada, and of his deport
ment among the friends of his former
home:
"Gen. Grant is here, quietly spending a
fortnight in his home. I sent you a paper
containing an - account of his reception.—
The reception was spontaneous and infor
mal, but genuine anthearty. Ile is in fine
health and spirits. He walks about the
town every day in plain citizen's dress—
the most unpretending man in the place.
In private he is very soelal, f likes a joke and
enjoys company. Bat he is a radical Dem
ocrat in the true sense. If the good peo
ple who are distressed by the stories told by
his enemies in regard to his habits could
only look into that clear, calm, serene and
candid face for a few moments, they would
say that its wearer could not be a man of
bad passion or vicious habits. The only
really bad thing his enemies say of Gen.
Grant is—that he drinks. This would be
bad enough, indeed, if true, but nothing
could be more false or malicious. During
all the time he lived. In Galena I never
heard of his drinking ardent spirits, and I
have never been able to find any man,
friend or foe, living here and who knew his
habits, who could say that
_he was intem
perate. In fact, there wig, no more tem
perate man in the city. That his habits in
this repect are the same now, none who
know him and meet him can for a moment
doubt."
WELL Ssw.—General Burnside addressed
a soldiers and sailors meeting at Providence
on the 14th, saying, in the course of his
remarks: "It requires no studied eloquence
nor elaborate statement to to teach us our
duty in the coming campaign, but it is
simply to sustain the Gevernmect and sup.
port those who sustained us when in the
field. .The same people who opposed us
when fighting the battles of our country,
now oppsse the election of Grant and Col
fax, and advocate the election of Seymour
and Blair. They are the same men who
told you and told me we never could con
quer the Rebels, and the men whom we
met in the field are the same whose! we
must meet at the polls, and finish with the
ballot the work we supposed was done
with the bullet, by the election of Grant
and Colfax. The issue is as plain and dis
tinct as iu the last electlian, when Abrahams
Lincoln was elected and, General McClel
