blotches on the bead, face and extremities, pro.

and the victim of this awful disease becomes ai

ON THE pTILIZWAY
BY LUCY LARCOM.
The little children on the stairway,
Cased In it slippery glare of sleet.
By post and railing vainly clamber—
Slight hold is there for baby feet,
High in the cold alp swings the school bell,
"Come up! come np!" Its clang commands
A quick thought flies from lips to lingers,
"'Vs easier taking hcdd of hands."
Now laughter lights their rosy faces;
Stoutarms the faltering strugglers lift;
Now all at last have won the threshold,
And out of sight within they drift,
Flinging back bloom upon the snow -wreaths
The blank, white world reflects their smile •
Their word has cleared for us a pathway,
Though Alps of ice the high road pile,
We all are children on a stairway,
Weary of vain attempts to climb, •
Or, strong ourselves, forgetting others—
While silver peals of Duty chime
High in the echoing heavens above us,
And, welcome we or dread the call,
Upon the steps we may not linger,
Ascend we must, slide back, or fall.
Whose Is the (atilt If this one sttimbles?
If that laments a hopeless bruise?
Or if another sits despairing!
Yours, mine, who timely aid refuse.
Small honor to go up unhindered
When a tired brother by us stands
The little children, they shall teach us,
"'Tis easier taking hold of hands."
Still up and down on virtue's ladder
Unnumbered beings come and go.
With faces turned to nether darkness.
Or sunned with a celestial glow.
The truants out of Duty's heaven,
The white and dazzling seraph-bands,
Are brethem still ; and. struggling upward,
"Tls easier taking hold of hands."

THE taIETTINIBUIRG WATEKIN
PLACE.
The Duty of the People of Gettysburg.
MESSRS. EDITOREI:—I trust that the mo
tive will excuse the liberty which I take of
inviting the attention of our citizens to
the duty of providing adequate and suita
ble entertainment for the strangers who
may be reasonably expected to visit us
during the next summer. As it will re
quire all the time vr4ich will elapse, to
make such provision this communication
can hardly be regarded as inopportune.
While we have probably sufficient
amount of Hotel and boarding-house ac
commodations for a particular class of
these expected visitors, we have not for
another class, who desire and are willing
to pay for more luxurious entertainment.
Nearly 'all the rooms in the magnificent
Springs Hotel are engaged, as is well
known, for the next season, and the prob
lem which has continually pressed for a
solution since Gettysburg become famous,
and a resort for health seekers, again pre
sents itself. The duties of hospitality are
enjoined alike by civilization, and by re
ligion, and it is certainly far from being
onerous, when those who receive the hos
pitality are willing to amply renumerate
their entertainers. Especially does this
duty become imperious and sacred on the
part of those who occupy any of the nota
ble or hallowed spots of earth, in which a
nation or the civilized world have, in virtue
of its memories, an interest - . The disre
gard of these duties, by the latter, has
frequently excited the indignation of civ
ilized nations, and not =frequently the
interference of governments, and even the
military chastisement of the delinquents.
It was the violation of the duties of hos
pitality by the Mohammedans who had ob
tained, by the fortunes of war, the control
of Palestine, of duties enjoined by the
precepts of their own religion, which pro
duced the war of the Crusade and precipi
tated the adherents of two opposing relig
ions in armed collision upon its plains.—
Certainty, if this duty is imperative and
sacred, on the part of the possessors of
any of the modern historic grounds, it is
on that of those in whose keeping Provi
dence has placed the town of Gettysburg
and its environs. Not only is it the sec
ond birthplace of the Republic, and the
scene of the deliverance of Constitutional
Government from an appalling catastro
phe, but the source of a healing fountain
which seems designed by Heaven to typify
even to the skepticism and rationalism of
the age the idea of a saving providential
intervention on this field. Surely the pil
grims to this place so celebrated and hal
lowed in the world's estimation, and the
athicted visitors" to this healing spring
which bubbles on' the very spot on which
was initiated those momentous events, are
I entitled to the largest hospitality from the
People of Gettysburg and its vicinity.—
Thati it is expected from' us by the' great
public woi : havebeefinnmistalably inform
ed by the criticisnie Of the astonished and
indignant visitors of previous years, and
by the eulogies and praises ef ihose of the
present season; 'White it is abundantly

hope that their .
pel a sacrifice of the property, before the
owners will be relieved by the profits of
their investment. Accursed be the_hope,
if it exists in any human mind, and it
may be as well to blast it in embryo by
stating for the edification of these human
beasts of prey if such exist that the land
on which this Hotel has been erected, was
donated for this express purpose, and that
the buildings can be applied to none other.
The proprietor of the Spring I am inform
ed hrui i declared that the interests of the
stockholders shall not be sacrificed in the
way proposed without their own consent,
and be has the legal power to give effect
to this declaration; for his agreement with
the Hotel Company guaranteeing access
of the guests of the Hotel to the Springs
cannot be sold on liens, or executions.—
The purchasers must afterwards buy of
him this privilege, and it will not be for
sale midi the interests of all are amply
protected. I also learn that he is willing
to aid the Hotel Company, not only to re
lieve • their embarrassment's, but to build
new hotels, cottages, &c., and to pay the
debts of the contractor of the Hotel and
Rail Road, G. W. Smith, incurred in con
nection with, or for labor on these works,
in the following manlier. He will con
tribute one-half of his real estate, in the
vicinity of the Springs, and induce Messrs:
Howell and Emerson als6 to contribute
one-half of that owned by them, in the
same neighborhood, to the Hotel Company,
or a new Company )le formed in exchange
for its stock, on A : fel bonds shall be is
sued convertible of the hold
er, within ace • ber of years, into
stock. These bonds, based on the Hotel
and four hundred acres of land around the
Spring may be readily sold in this and
other markets, at par, and thus money be
realized to make Gettysburg like the
ancient fuel modern battle-fields of Ther
mopylae and Saratoga, even in our day
and generation, what it is certain- ulti
mately to become, one of the great water
ing-places of the world. This is the
I plan, on which all the new Hotels at the
watering-places are now being erected.—
The people of Saratoga for a long time al
lowed strangers to build all their hotels,
make all the money, and exercise all the
social and political power and influence
which such positions confer, until one of
her citizens conceived the idea of purchas
ing a few acres of land and predicating
boas thereon, to defray the expenses of
the erection of the greatest summer hotel
at that place and in America. I refer to
that of the "Congress Hall." The grounds
and Hotel are ample security for the
bonds, and so would be this immense real
estate in this vicinity covered with the
requisite number of hotels and cottages.
Could a responsible trustee of these bonds
be authorized to retain 'the proceeds aris
ing from their sales 141 the erection of
such hotels and cottages imparted to the
real estate the value whicht is sure to
possess, no doubt, the great' financier of
the age, day Cooke would undertake their
negotiation. He is known to take the '
deepest interest in the success of the Get
tysburg Watering-Place, and has already
given us the benefit of his name in a pub
lic testimonial. How can he be otherwise
than interested in its success; for Perursyl
rania is his adopted State, and he is got
up on the largest pattern. He is besides
identified with the Battle of Gettysburg
itself by an incident which must forever
'connect his name with that event. I refer
to the heavy sale of Government Bonds
which he effected, in Philadelphia, at the
very moment when the fate of the nation,
and especially of the city of Philadelphia,
was being decided by the arbitrament of
the sword on this battle-field. It is record
ed as an incident illustrative of the patri
otism and abiding faith of the Romans in
the future of their Republic, that while
the victorious and seemingly invincible
army of Hannibal fwas beleaguering the
city,--the land on whieh his army was en
camped was actually sold at previous rates
in the markets of Rome. This is a great
fact, or a fine fiction, but it is extremely
-probable that the Roman purchaser did
not pay his money down, which the pur
chasers of our Government Bonds did.—
But I am digressing in pursuit of the
glorious memories which cluster around
this battle-field, and some of its associated
names in our history, and must bring this
long letter to a close.
This I will do by quoting from the cor
respondence of the New York Herald, a
public journal proverbially careful about
publishing an undeserved puff of any sub
ject of private interest or speculation.
The writer in a severe criticism upon the
management of the spring thus &modes
its great commercial value:
A l 5 T. EMIXISTRATION AT THE SPRING&
But long before that period arrives a
different administration must - prevail at
the springs. I regret that lam constrain
ed by a sense of duty to unpleasantly criti
cise the conduct of persons in this connec
tion from whom I have received the most
polite attentions. But - the ownership of
this priceless boon of Providence to the
race impOses a duty to the publio which
the proprietors cannot. escape. If any
charge for the water is made or free access
to the springs hindered, then the parties
making the charge and interposing the
obstruction should attend to the business
of supplying the water to the. public at
reasonable rates. Now this has not been,
&hie. The business has been most shame
folly neglected excepting during a period
about six months in 1888, when certain
New York parties leased it and impressed
into its management a portion of the New
.
York enery i n business enterprise. But
the prices of this water have at all times
been exorbitantly high. It is no excuse
that this mismanagement is the result of
Aisputes . about legal rig* between man
agers and PTePrietors (disputeswhich are
dowhappily aeljusted.) No such disputes,
should ever have arisen. The proprietors
of some of the,Baratoga Springs have con
trived to place their waters within the
'reach of everybody.-who wants, them at
yid* lower rates, and have realized a pro.
fit of some fifty cents per gallon from
their sales, as .appeased from a recent

time it will be seen that this product will
pay six per cent. interest on 04,883,888.
Certainly the capital and enterprise should
be forthcoming with which to place this
water in the market at a reduction of fifty,
and even seventy-live per cent. upon this
margin of profit. Will not some of our
enterprising quack medicine men remove
from themselves the curse of their calling
and rescue their posterity from the visita
tion of the sins of their fathers in the form
of the odium which attaches to their in
heritance, by. embarking in the sale of a
legitimate medicine,--it medicine which
has really effected those wonderful cures
only feigned by the romancers whih they
have in their employ as fabricatonof cer
tificates? Thus much I have deemed it
my duty to science and humanity to say
about the transportation, sale and use
these waters.
THE MYSTERIOUS VALISE
This morning there came to us a legal
gentleman of the city, who, contrary to
his usual practice, had lost his temper.
Indeed, he seemed so much out of humor
that we thought something out of the
usual course—very far out—had transpired
to trouble him. Said the gentleman, and
he said it briskly, as though lie meant it:
"I want you to give those baggage-men
thunder."
The gentleman surprised us; we at
tempted to explain to him that baggage
men were, on the whole, a pretty gOod set
of fellows, that they had their trials and
grievances like the rest of mankind, and
that if they occasionally lost their temper
it was not entirely their fault; but the
legal gentleman broke in upon us with the
exclamation that .he 'didn't care about
their temper. "They are a confouruled
stupid pack, and they ought to be kicked,
every one of em."
We stopped him as soon as we could,
and then asked him what under the sun
was the matter.
"I'll tell you," said he, "and then if
you don't say that I .owe these baggage_
men a grudge for the trouble their care
lessness has caused me, I'll not say an
other word."
"A few days ago I bad my valise pack
ed and went off to Madison to attend a
case. Upon returning, my valise was
given me by the baggage-master, --the in
fernal scoundrel,—and I went home. My
wife desired to take it to look at my
clothes, but as there were some important
papers in the valise I said she must wait.
Now, whenever I had returned before, the
always took it from me when I went in,
and, woman-like, she seems to have
thought there was a secret about the
valise—confound the baggage-men. Well,
just as quick as my back was turned, off
went the valise to the chamber, and into
it went my wife's fingers. Ten minutes
later there was a scream echoing through
the house that would have aroused a night
watch-man from his dreams. I rushed up
stairs, and what do you suppose saw—
confound the baggage-men!—There was
my wife stretched on the floor in hysterics,
and there was my valise, wide open on the
floor, and showing very plainly the follow
ing table of contents: •
An empty whiskey bottle; two packs
of cards; photographs,pf four young ladies
that ought to be ashamed of themselves;
a kitty's shawl; a whole apothecary's shop
on a small scale; three dime novels; two
blood and thunder papers; a dice box; a
lot of dice; another pack of cards; an old
pipe; and I don't know how mach more
of just such trash. I do' know that the
valise—my valise, was full of just such
traps, and my wife had seen them all, and
then gone off into hysterics.
"I tried to bring her back to her senses,
but if she came back far enough to open
her eyes, she pointed sort of spasmodical
ly at the valise, and then with a double
yell went off again. I tell you I was mad.
I just walked up and down the apartment

met that baggage-man then, I should

been visited by a collision. The maid put
my wife to bed, and I went down street
swearing. When I came .back the room
was locked, and I was locked out. The

doing something very, wicked, and the
children slunk away as if I wanted to eat
them—confound that baggage-man.
"I finally got the door of the room
opened, and asked my wife what this all
meant. She burst into tears and pointed
at the valise. And do you know that it
took me all day to make her believe that
it was the fault of the confounded bag-
gage-man, who had gone and changed
haul-trunks for me! I could not do it
until I had gone to the depot and spent
hours in bunting my own baggage, and
even then it took a new bonnet and velvet
cloak to entirely dispel the cloud which
that baggage-man had brought into my
house. And what do.yoa think he said?

carelessness had caused me, the fellow

A RAUASPII
One little ant of politenem will souse
times pave the way to fortune and prefer
ment. The following sketch illustrates
this fact:
A sailor, roughly garbed, was strolling
through the streets of New Orleans, then
a rather damp condition from recent
rrain and rise of the tide. ;Fuming the
corner of a much frequented narrow alley,
he observed a young lady standing in per
;dozily, apparently measuring the depths
of the muddy water between her and the
opposite sidewalk, with no very satisfied
eountenanee:4_
pa
The sailor used, for he was a great
admirer of beauty, and certainly the fair
face that peeped out from under the little
chip hat, and the auburn ourls hanging
glossy and unconfined over her muslin
dress, might tempt a curious or admiring
glance. Perplexed, the ladylaut forth one
little foot, when the gallant sailor with
impulsiveness, exclaimed. "That pretty
foot, lady, should not be soiled with the
filth of this lane; wait for a moment, and
I will make you a path."
' So springing past her into a carpenter's
shop opposite, he bargained for a plank
board that stood in the doorway, and com
ing back to the smiling girl, who was just
co(piettlah 'enough to accept the sorvicon
of the handsome young sailor, Ite_bridged
the narrow black 'stream, and she tripped
across with a merry "Thank you," and a
roguish smile making her eyes as dazzling
as they could be.
Alas! our young sailor was perferil
charmed. What else would make hint
catch up and shoulder the plank and fol
low the little witch through the streets to
her home, elie.twice performing the eon,
loony of "walking the plank," and each
time thanking him with one or her elo
quent smiles.
Presently our hero saw the young lady
trip up the marble steps of a palace e of a
house and disappear within' its rosewood'
entrance. Fora full minute he stood look
big at the door, and then with at, warider
ful big sigh turned away, disposed of his •
drawbridge, and wended his way back to
his ship.
The next day he was astonished with
an order of prolhotion from the captaim.—
Poor Jack was speechless with amazement,
hi had not dreamed of being exalted to
the dignity of4second mate's office on
board one of the most splendid ships that
sailed out of the port of New Orleans. ,He
imew he was competent, for instead of
spending his money for amusements, visi
ting theatres and bowling alleys on his re
tarn from sea, he purchased books, and
became quite a student, but he expected
years to intervene before his ambitious
hopes would be realized.
His superior Mims seemed" to look u p
on him with considerable leniency, and
gave him many a fair opportunity togeth
er maritine kriowledge, end in a year the
handsome, gentlemanly young mate had
acquired unusual favor in the eyes of the
commander, Captain Hume, who had first
taken the smart little black-eyed fellow,
with his nest tarpaulin and tidy bundle,
as ecatrin boy.
Quo night the young man with all the
other officers, was invited to an entertain
ment at the captain's- house. He went,
and to his astonishment mounted the
identical steps that, two years before, tho
brightest vision he bad ever seen, passed
over—a vision he ,had never forgotten.
Thump, thump, went his brave heart as
he Was ushered into the parlor, and like a
sledge-hainmer *beat agaiti when Cap
tain Hume brought forward his blue-eyed
daughter, and with a pleasant smile, said:
"The young lady was once indebted to
your kindness for a safe and dry walk
home."
His eyes were all ablaze, and Ida brown
cheeks flushed hotly as the noble captain
sauntered away, leaving Grape Hume at
his aide. In all that assembly there was
not so handsome a couple as the gallant
sailor and the 'pretty lady.'
It was only a year from that time that
the second mate trod the quarter-deck,
second only in command, and part owner
with the captain, not only in his vessel,
but in the affections of his daughter, gen
tle Grace Hume, who had always cherish
ed respect, to say nothing of love for the
bright eyed sailor.
His homely but earnest act of politeness
toward his child had pleased the captain,
and though the youth knew it not, was:
the cause of his first promotion. So that
now the old mau Lai' retired from busi
ness, Henry Wells is captain, and Grace
Hume is, according to polite parlance,
Mrs. Capt. Wells. In fact, the honest
sailor is one of the richest men in the Cres-
cent City, and he owns, perhaps, the great
er part of his prosperity to his tact and
politeness in crossing the street.
