OLD•EASHIOYED SERVANTS
In those days, when the Boston stage of
fice was in Elm . street, girls with blooming
cheeks came from the pine woods of Maine,
the breezy bills of New Hampshire, and
the green valleys of Vermont, to do house
work In the city. They arrived by stage
over Charlestown bridge, and beheld with
wondering eyes the shipping in the harbor.
Westward they aaw the spires of Cam
bridge, while before them rose the city of
Boston with its labyrinth of streets and
lanes. Down through Union street gallop
ed the horses, the people rushing to their
doors and windows to witness the event of
the day—the coming in of the stftes—and
retrebnlng
—en '-v•ilivith the sight of health
and beauty.
The stage-coach, with six horses on the
run, was the highest idea of progress. So
ciety at that period moved at the rate of
nine miles an hour. Farmers from all
"Down East," from the Canada line, and
from Berkshire Hills, came in midwinter to
Boston market, and there was an annual
throng of red sleighs around Fanenil Hall.
In those days there was no lack of children
in the land, and M. D.'s and D. D.'s did not
feel constrained to write tracts and deliver
lectures to the women of America upon the
baby question. Farmers had daughters by
the half score, who could spin, weave, knit,
sew, milk, make butter and cheese, and
who, by hard work from dawn to twilight,
at the wheel and loom, could earn fifty
cents a week.
Those who had a surplus of daughters
were always on the lookout., when at mar_
ket, for situations where a dollar a week
and board could be earned by Jane and
Mary ; so when the girls came whirling In
to the city in the stage they knew where
they were going, and what wages they were
to receive, for it had all been settled by the
prudent father.
Ah.! there were capital chambermaids and
cooks in those days, many of whom have
bloomed into matrons during the lapse of
years, and are now sitting in their parlors,
vainly wishing that they could find girls a s
willing and capable to work for them as
they had been for others, and sighing for
those good pid times when there was respect
between employer and employed, when
respect and confidence often ripened into
friendship and affection.
But the times are not as they were,
neither are the servants. The farmers.
daughters have disappeared t we ne'er shall
look upon their like again. The new ser
vants have come ; we never looked upon
their like before.
The change from the old to the new was
like the coming on of an eclipse—like the
transition from light to darkness. We
know when the obscuration began, and
many a vexed housekeeper would like to
know when it will end. It began in that
year when three men went up from Boston,
and lounged along the banks of the Merri
mac, at Pawtucket Falls, pretending to he
fishing, but in reality speculating bow they
might dam the river. Their brains were
full of wheels, and their thoughts were spin
ning down the current of time. They
bought the waterfall, dug a canal, erected
a row of brick buildings, filled them with
machinery, scoured the country, gathered
up the farmers' girls, gave them a chance to
earn $4 a week, and the result of it all is
Lowell, Lawrence, Lewiston, and a score
of manufacturing towns.
It is a mystery to know what becomes of
a ll rhe pins, and equally a puzzle to know
what has become of the farmers' daughters.
They were in the factories, but nearly all of
them have disappeared. Ireland is tending
luom• in Mills as Wgil holding away ID
our households.

HOW CAN WE ELEVATE OUlt PUB.
LIC SCUOOLS
Under the above head, Miss Maria L
Sanford, a teacher in Chester county, who
was a candidate for. County Superintendent
of Common Schools, contributes an article
of considerable length to the West Chester
Republican, which is worthy of the atten-
lion not only of teachers and school direc
tors, but of people .of both sexes And al
classes who desire the future well being o
our country. We make, the following In
teresting extracts;
We should seek for high scholarship in
our teachers. It is said that they under
stand the branches required by law, but we
should seek for far more. What would we
not give to have spent the eight or ten years
of our school life under the care of a teach.
er whose mind has been enlarged, elevated,
purified by wide and thorough culture.—
Place the child in charge of a teacher who
is an ardent lover of fistula' :cience, who
knows the voice, the name. ;he habits of
bird and insect, who has n the record of
of the rocks, the flowers, tie •mrs, and with
wonder and delight he °pee is eyes upon
a new world; he studies i.o longer dry
forms, but the living handitaik is water to
the thirsty soul. Give to the class nu in
structor whose mind is rich with historic
lore, with the teachings of the past and the
lessons of to-day ;to whom Thucydides
and the "old man, eloquent" are not dead
names, but living, breathing fellow-beings;
let him have traversed the desert with Liv
ingstone and climbed the mountains with
Humboldt, felt the Artie frosts with Kane,
and walked through Europe with Taylor,
and, as with breathless interest they listen
to his words, the gray old world becomes to
them a marvellous romance, from whose
delightful pages they will never turn to the
vapid trash Which now belittles the mind
and corrupts the morals of such multitudes
of our youth. Let the grammar of our no
ble English be illustrated by a mind not
only stored with the beauties of our own
grand classics, but familiar with the silent
tongues from which ours has sprung, and
the living languages which have given it
richness and flexibility, and the "valley of
dr a y bones" is breathed upon by the breath
of life, and from the graves of dead names
spring the host of living thought. Let the
refining influence, the indescribable charm
of high culture be enforced and sanctified
by an abiding love of purity and truth, and
in the heart of the child, narrow self-conceit
will give place to the humility of wisdom;
whatever is coarse and rude will hide itself
for very shame, and all that la lovely be de
veloped to adorn and bless his future life.—
Inspired by such an example, he will pur
sue his studies with tireless ardor, not with
the narrow conception that they are the
sum of all wisdom, but because they will
unlock the countless treasure beyond.
It Is asked, almost in derision, if we can
have such teachers in our common schools?
Such, I answer, we may have in one and
all. Not this year, nor this decade ; the
time is not yet. "lhe seeds of human pro
gress are slow in ripening, and the genera
tion that plants is not the generation which
gathers in the harvest." It is for ns to pre
pare the way ; we must show the necessity,
prove the possibility, awaken the hope, and
create the demand for this great good, and
then by slow and constant progress it may
be attained. Fond parental care counts no
cost when the suffering body pleads for re
lief, but the hungry soul makes no moan,
and we sea not, dream not of the heaven
born mantes uwarstu, panneu anu uying
by ottrmeglect. It is for ua to give voice to
this silent suffering, to show how infinitely
superior is the spiritual to the physical na
ture, and how much more imperative its
wants, and then we may ask, nor ask in
vain, for their relief.
Far more than we imagine does the schoo
house form the character of the child. No
merely by the palpable effects of warmth
and light and pure or, which are often sad
ly neglected, but by a subtle influence al
most universally ignored. how legitimate
seem the unkind, fretful tones, and coarse,
careless habits which are found in the bar
ren abode of disorder and squalor ; while
from a home made beautiful by taste and
elegance, goes forth a magic kindness which
cheers even the transient visitor. And so
in the school room, neatness and beauty will
do more than the rod towards securing good
order, and infinitely more toward the sym
metrical development of the mind of the
child. Orderly, careful habits may be first
enforced, and then encouraged until they
become the property of the child, who thus
learns one of liff's moat useful lessons. • •
All clownishness and roughness should
be banished from the school-room. Noth
ing that would be condemned In the draw
ing -room of a cultivated family should be
permitted here. The manners, far more
than the scholastic attainments of the child,
will decide his position in society and his
usefulness in the world, and should there
fore receive the teacher's especial.carn.
The children should be taught the dignity
of labor. It is God's price -mark of excel
lence from which there Is'no abatement.—
Without it, exisenee is worthless ; and he
only who has learned to labor, has learned
to live. We need not look to nations across
the sea, or search the annals of the past, for
the contrast between a birthright of bonnet
toil, and a heritage of ignoble ease. Our
own land has furnished the parallel, and its
terrible insigniffeance this generation can
never, forget, for the woeful picture is paint
ed with our life-blood and engraven upon
our souls. Shall we of the free North
boast of this inheritance of labor and let
pride defraud us of its blessings ? It has
already laid its mortgage upon them, and
unless we rouse ourselves to manly exer
tion, and by precept and example teach the
children to reverence honest toil, upon us
all will come poverty and blight,
Shall we profess to honor labor and seek
by every means to avoid and conceal its
performance? Shall we not impress it '
upon the child, that the man who, upon the
farm or in the shop, is earning his bread by
the sweat of his brow, however rough his
bands coarse his clothes, is immeasura
bly superior to him who is hanging on in
idleness to a crowded profession, or ming
ling with the miserable swarm of official
parasites. That the woman who, when cir
cumstances make it necessary, can, without
disguise or shame, perform the mental ser
vices of her household, while thus adding
to the nobility of her womanhood by prov
ing herself a true and faithhil helpmeet to
her husband, detracts nothing from the
delicacy of her refinement or the dignity of
her self-respect. Teach your boy to seek that
employment for which nature has fitted
him, but by all mean& to seek labor, not for
pay alone, remembering the injunction,
"Get work, get Stork, it is better than what
you work to get it," and having found it,
to mate Tio mask of Its Peift4ntartee, Mow
hhn that the hand which bolds the plow or
grasps- the hummer may be as tender
and true as the ode which only wields the
pen. That thine delicate; thoughtfill atten

Lion merely because of its market value;
for its noblest object is not to fill the
purse but to enrich the life. The labor
should never be made the excuse for ignor
ance anti downisbnes., but should gather
about its home every charm of refinement,
every endearment of affection. Then will
the effort to surpass others, which now
curses American life, become a strife to ex
cel in generous kindness, in real worth, in
stern virtue, in manly self respect. Then
shall we learn to lIIIIWUre a man not by the
breadth of hie acres or the height of his
station, but by the sweep of his intelleCt
and the largeness of his soul. We have
still sadder evidence of our need to dignify
labor. The most pernicious outgrowth of
the eagerness to purchase ease at whatever
price, is the corruption which obtrudes its
loathsome face into the high places of our
land, bringing bihzlit upon individual char
acter and reproach upon our national fame.
As Americans we not hold our peace and
see law and judgment made the price of
place and gold. But while we do right to
visit upon the culprit the weight of our
righteous iudignatioe, we know that the
dastard who can eell his soul knows n o
honor and fvele no shame, and not to him
but to those who come after hint must we
look to wipe out this disgrace. Are we
not conjured by national honor and by
Christian duty, by the dignity of justice
and the sacredness of law, to use every en
ergy of our souls to train up a generation
that will hound and hate the demon greed,
and that would prefer a crust in a hovel
with untarnished honor, to the costliest ele
gance with the canker of bribery upon the
soul.
GAMBLING IN NEW NEW YORK
The number of pl.ces in New York
where gambling is conducted as a business
may be estimated at about twenty-five hun
dred. They vary all the way from the mag
nificent saloons, where it is nothing unusual
for twenty thousand dollars to change hands
in a single night,. down to the cellars, where
the beggars and bootblacks play for pen
nies; and where the Chinese cigar and candy
dealers dispose of the little they have made
daring the day.
The fashionable establishments are main
ly on Broadway and In the vicinity of Fifth
avenue, though some of the places on
Houston street are fitted up with consider
able care and'present a very attractive ap
phearance to many of their patrons. In
the fashionable places no stranger is admit
ted unless accompanied by somebody who
can certify to his character, not that first
class morals are desired, but the players
want to be satisfied that nobody is attempt
ing to play the detective. There Is no out
ward sign to indicate the existence of these
places, but a man accustomed to the pe
culiarities of the city can generally recog
nize them. The outer door generally
stands open, and just beyond it is another
with a ,ell handle at the side and a small
wicket through which a visitor can be ob
served. A tickle of the bell will bring a
porter, who closely regards the applicant,
and if he recognizes one of the party he ad
mits the others without question. Once in
side, one can study the tiger at leisure, and
ascertain by practical experience how easy
it is to lighten a plethoric purse. Excel
lent suppers are served in all the first class
establishments, and one can satisfy him
self with the finest of liquors and cigars
without paying for them, unless he joins in
the game.
A man or my acquaintance once told me
that he could not uunerstand how the gam
blers could afford to give such elegant
spreads. "I have been," said he, "half a
dozen times to one of them, and every
night I, had a splendid supper, with any
and everything I desired to drink. I never
paid anything for it, and every night I have
put down a few dollars just to compensate
them for the entertainment, but I alway
won instead of loosing. I really don't
understand it."
But one day he told me that the night
before he bad entered the same place with
fifteen hundred dollars in his pocket, and
after a heavier supper than usual he sat
down to play. Before he left the place Lis
fifteen hundred dollars were gone. He
then understood how it was possible for the
gamblers to give such magnificent feasts.
I have heard it estimated that the win
nings of the regular gambling establish
ments in New Yorit—that is, the money
that goes into the hands of the profession
al gamblers—is not less than two million
dollars a year.
Th.RRIBLY KEROSENE ACCIDENT.-A ter
rible kerosene accident, caused by the ex
plosion of a lamp, occurred at No. 191
Meadow street, Hoboken. A faintly, con
sisting of three persons, were burned. The
son has since died of his injuries, while the
mother is fatally wounded. It seems tha t
that William Haese, a German mechanic,
was detained at his labor until a late hour,
the wife waiting tea for her husband's re
turn. Haes came home shortly after nine
- o'clock, when the family, consisting of
himself, his wife Emily, and their son Gus
tave, a lad of eight year., sat down to
table. In some way, while reaching across
the tribtelor a plate, the boy overturned the
lamp, which broke. The oil exploded in
stantly, the blazing fluid scattering Itself
over the persons of all three, and setting fire
to their clothing, burned them horribly.'
Their'screams attracted the attention of the
other inmates of the house, who rushed In
to the room and finally succeeded in extin
guishing the flames,

A Soovoit minister, being asked by
friend, during his last illness, whether he

BULL FIGHT 111 NEVILLE
We extract the following interesting ac
count from a private letter by General Dar
Hog to a frlent. in Paris
"A vast concourse of people, some 10,000
In number, assembled in the Plaza de To
ros to witness a bull fight, terminating the
festivities of the Agricultural Fair, which
occurs each year in Seville during the month
of April. Among the spectators were to be
seen the various grades of Spanish society,
all of whom appeared greatly interested in
this most revolting spectacle of cruelty and
bloodshed. There were four classes of bull
fighters present, who made their appearance
arrayed in costumes richly decorated with
gold and silver embroidery. These men
approached the judge's box for inspection
in the following order : espadors of the
first-class, two iu number, banderilleros of
the second class, ten in number; and pica
dors of the third class, six in number. The
espadors are called the mar..stroa of the art,
and are men of great daring and pretence
of mind ; they use the sword only, and are
called out after the bull has been weakened
and worried by the other matadors. The
banderilios posses swiftness of fool, also
great dexterity in handling their darts,
which they hurl with unerring skill ; they
are provided with red and yellow-mantles
with which they attract the b4l. The
picadors are the only mounted men, and
each one of these individuals carries with
hint a heavy lance. The fury of the bulls
is generally first directed toward the horse
men, who present a more extensive mark.
The bulls arc bred in a portion of Andalusia
remote from the habitations of men, and
the most ferocious ones are invariably se
lected for fighting purposes. At a given
signal the hull fighters took their positions
in thelarena to await the coming of the bull;
a door was then opened, and bull number
one rushed wildly into the vast cicularepace.
He gave an angry glance at the horses and
their riders who were nearest to him, then
sprang forward and ripped the bowels out
of three horses in about as many minutes.
While sem( d in this little tragedy the bull
received three severe wounds from the
lances of the picadors. The banderilleros
then ran forward with their darts, and BUG
cessfully evading the attacks of the bull,
managed to plant a number of their weap
ons in his neck. At this period of the per
formance a first grade matador was sum
moned, who, after a short but decisive
struggle, succeeded in burying his Toledo
blade in the neck of the furious breast ; this
is always considered a difficult and danger
ous work, for to strike the bull effectually
the matador must permit the animal's horn
to pass under his right arm. The cold steel
BO thoroughly disagreed with the constitu
tion of our horned friend that he gave a hol
low groan, a convulsive shake, and fell a
lifeless lump of tough beef, In close proxi
mity to the horses which he had killed.
The defunct animals were then drawn out
of the bull ring by mules gaily caparisoned,
and the victor retired amid the approving
shoats of an excited multitude and the
music of n military band. The second bull
I was an animal of immense size and strength.
When the toril door was again opened, he
leaped savagely into the arena and paused
a moment to reconoitre. Perceiving the six
picadors, who had been reinforced in horse
flesh, he attacked them separately, with all
the fury of a Royal Bengal tiger. The first
horse be caught with his horns, under the
left fore-leg, lifted him bodily up, and threw
the rider violently to the ground. The bull,
scorning to contend with a faller. enemy,
rushed towards a second picador, whose
frightened horse, turnings suddenly around
as the bull came up, received a blow in-the
rear, which doubled him up like a jack
knife, and rolled horse and rider together in
the dust. For a moment, as the infuriated
beast stood over them, glaring at them with
his bloodshot eyes, it seemed as if a vacan
cy would certainly occur in the organiza
tion of the bull-fighting fraternity. At
this critical juncture the man was saved by
the banderilleros, who shook their red man
tles and lured the bull away. The poor
horse was so sadly gored in his hind quar
ters that he died on the spot whore he fell.
A third picador, assuming the aggressive,
boldly rode his horse up to the bull, as he
stood at bay, and at the same moment that
he thrust his lance into the animal's neck,
the horns of his formidable antagonist
found an uneasy resting-place in the stom
ach of his fated steed. The disemboweled
horse, in a perfect frenzy of terror and dls
trees, ran uncontrolled once around the en
tire circumference of the arena—a distance
of over 700 ft., with his entrails hanging
out in a huge unsightly mass. Before the
espadors were summoned by the judges to
perform the finishing strokes, this powerful
creature had left upon the ground, as evi
dences of his ferocity, the carcasses of five
dead horses. One of the picadors received
a wound in - his leg from the bull's horns ;
the rest of them escaped unhurt. The mat
adors, by their agility, and the aid rendered
when In difficulty by thelt comrades, gener
ally manage to'avoid serious injury. This
performance lasted two hours, during which
time the lives tf seven bulls and fifteen
horses were sacrificed. The two first bulls,
however, were the champions. They did
more execution than their doomed succes
sors, and fairly earned the reputation of
what the Spanish people call—good
bulls."

YALVABIZII 'brim E
TiidnST DEPARTMENT.
„ .
kPriiabbigton despatch to the Now York
Wbune says:.
In June,-1866, there were received at the
Treasury Department three large wooden
boxes, said to contain valuables, turned
over :by the War Department for safe keep_
,fag._ These boxes have been lying ever
since la. the vaults of the Treasury, but
were today opened through the efforts of a
United States Senator, somosof whose con
stituents were supposed to be interested. A
committee, composed of officers of the War
and Treasury Departments, witnessed the
carrying out of the joint order of the two
departments. The boxes were found to
contain exceedingly valuable invoices of
diamonds, pearls, necklaces, watches, ear
rings, breeches, rings, chains, seals, and nil
manner of rare and expensive tawdry to
the value of many thousands of dollars.
The most valuable property, however,
which the boxes contained was a very large
amount of gold and plate, eousisting, of
pitchers, salmi+, spoons, knives, urns, &c.,
some of which was thought to have been
more than a hunched years old.. One of the
boxes contained sonic very rich %caring ap
parel for ladies--silke, velvets, laces, &c.,—
besides an incredible amount of Confeder
ate notes anti bonds and notes of State
banks. There was also a small amount of
specie, both gold and sirver. The boxes
were about the size of ordinary dry rood]
boxes, and the value of their contents is
variously estimated nt front $20,000 to
$lOO,OOO. Many of the articles were
stairsped with the family crests, initials or
monograms of the owners, and all were of
the finest and most costly decription. The
boxes; were sent by the Provost Marshal
General of the Atmy of the Tennessee to
the War Department in this city, and See
t etary Stanton turned them over to Tung
urer Spinner, subject to future action. Tile
valuables arc supposed to have been taken
possession of by Sherman's men in Georgia
and other States, where they had been
abandoned by the fleeing inhabitants. In
some eases they were taken front banks,
which had ceased to do business upon the
approach of the Federal army. The officers
of both departments are uncertain of their
duty in the disposition of this property.
Some hold that it should be returned, under
proper restrictions and proof, to the owners,
If they can be found. Others believe the arti
cles belong to the Government, under the
laws of Congress, and that they should be
sold, and the proceeds placed in the Treas
ury ; while still others affirm that neither
the War nor the Treasury Departments has
any authority in the premises, and that a
special act of Congress should be called for.
Nothing has yet been done, and the valua
bles have been returned to the vaults of the
Treasury.
TOR GREAT MEETING OF Tile DUEEARDE.
—BOTETOVIIT COUNTY, VA., May 21.—The
meeting of Dunkards now in progress, in
this county is, as I am informed, a seven
years' convention, In which all parts of the
United States are represented. The pre
parations fur it on . the part of the native
members of the society in Botetourt and
Roanoke were upon a scale that would sur
prise any who are not familiar with the pro
ceedings of these people on such occasions.
The number of Dunkarda expected as dele
gates and visitors from other parts of the
country washy some set down at ten thowi
and, and by others at fifteen thousand.
The camp-ground of the meeting displays
a vast array of tents, and the immense tables
are provided with a number of deacons,
who have been chosen to serve them. The
store of provisions collected beforehand
may be judged from one or two items. In
the article of beef cattle fattened, the num
ber was seventy to eighty, and a visitor
who saw them before the slaughter had be
gun declared that he never saw a fatter and
finer herd. As to coffee, the quantity pre
pared Is said to have been so large that
great out-door ovens were made to roast it
in over huge log fires, and a grain-mill was
hired for the purpose of grinding It.
Of the arrangements for washing the feet
of the disciples I cannot speak particularly.
'Mien it Is considered that each one of the
great congregation has to receive this evi
dence of brotherly love, the imagination of
the reader will have ample scope to picture
the nature and variety of the ablutions, and
the quanity of water, basins, and towels re
quired in the premises.
It is equally inpossible to describe the
great multitude and variety of the kisses of
charity which take place on the occasion ;
for with the meeting kisses, the parting
kis.ses, and the kisses that transpire during
the various religions services, it is hardly
extravagent to say that the woods and fields
arc vocal with the-notes of animation—
some so faint as hardly to be perceived,
some a little more expressive, and some de
monstrative and prolonged. This ceremony
is strictly confined to the sexes to which the
participants belong, men kissing men and
women kissing women.
LAY DILLZGATION IN rm M. E. Curial!.
—The time approaches when the Methodist
Episcopal Church is to decide the import
ant question of the admission of laymen to
its eclesirettical councils. At the last Gen
eral Conference, met in Chicago In the
Spring of last year, the following resolution
was passed, fixing the thee and manner of
determining the sense of the people upon
the question:
"Resolved, 2. That during the month of
June, 1869, on any day except the Sabbath,
the:tin:lei to be determined by the Pastor and
the two laymen appointed by the Quar
terly Conference, as hereinafter provided,
there shall he held a general election
in the several places of worship of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, at which
all members in full connection, and not
less than twenty-one years of ago, shall
be invited to vote by ballot, "For Lay
Delegation" or "Against Lay Delegation.'
This election shall be held under the direc
tion of. the Preacher-in-charge and two
laymen appointed for the purpose by the
Quarterly Conference, who shall, see that
due notice is given thereof for at least twen
ty days before the election, and who shall
Mperintend all the details of the election.
They shall report the result within ten du}s
after the election to the Presiding Elder of
the district, who shall report the same to
the Bishop presiding at the ensuing Annual
Conference, to be entered upon the Conforz
once Journal."
It is inure than probable the question will
carry by a large majority.
