It is a fact, as I've been told, That people, in the days of old, Got rich in silver and in gold, No matter what they bought or sold By minding their own business. They did not try to wound one's fame, Or slander anybody's name ; They cared not when you went or came, They pleased themselves—you did the same, If it was your own business. And if a man did what was right In bis own mind, and in the sight Of God and law, by day and night, He went ahead and fought the fight, But in degen'rate modern days There's quite a change in people's ways, And what a person does or says Must be held up unto the gaze Of every busybody. And if you do not tell them, too, Where you are going, and what to do, They get in such an awful stew, They'll even watch and follow you— These very busybodies. And then they surely think they know Just when you come and when you go, And they will whisper, so and so, To every friend and every foe— These very busybodies. But if we take the pains to see Who these same busybodies be, We find there's not a he or she Who has a decent history, Among three busybodies. But let us no more notice take Of evil tongues; but for their sake, We'll hope and pray they soon may wake From wickedness, and money make By minding their own business. "Willie, why don't you go and play with the boys and not ho forever stuck at my feet ?" Such was Abs. Gray's impatient ques- tion, one day, when her little son came and seated himself in the parlor, when his mother was conversing with a visitor. "I would rather be with you than with the boys," he answered timidly. "Oh I never saw such a baby !" "•Is it wrong to wish to be near you, mother ?" said the child, and his lip trembled as he spoke. "Wrong? of course not. But yon are old enough to have some manliness about you. See, yonder are Will and John Gowdy on the ice. Run along and keep them company. I want to talk to Mrs. Brown." "Isn't he a queer child," she asked The other raised her sad eyes, and fixed them with such a painful expression on the mother's face. She was a sorrowful looking woman, this Mrs. Brown. "I bad a son once, but he's gone now," she said at last, and there were tears in her eyes. Mrs. Gray gazed at her wonderfully. She had `not known this before. "It is a bitter thing to tear open par tially healed wounds," Mrs. Brown con tinued. "But let me tell you my story : Several years ago I was about to give a party ; a grand affair it way to be, and my head was almost turned while making preparations. My Willie (his name was Willie, too,) was about sixteen years old. He had never been to school ; I had edu cated him myself. At home, he was all a mother's heart could desire ; but he was -hy, and when I forced hint into company he appeared so awkward, that I often felt ashamed of him. This was one reason of my deciding to give a party. If he was obliged to act the part of host he would overcome his bashfulness, I thought. But Willie never approved of it." "I shall he so glad when the party is over," he said one day ; "for since you have got it into your head, I have lost my mother." "Poor little baby !" I responded, slight ly provoked at his lack of interest. "I wonder bow many years I shall have you tied to my apron string ?" I spoke sneeringly, and a proud flush instantly overspread his thee. "I will be tied there n 9 longer," he re• turned, "I will seek.other company in the future." I was frightened at the result of my words. Still I made no response. My son, putting on his coat and hat, went out. It was the first time in his life he had ever went out without informing me where he was going. In good time the party came off. It was a gay affair, and none were gayer than Willie. He was a sort of an extremist, and took no medium stand. After that his hooks and work were neglected, and his days, as well as evenings, were spent abroad. Fast young men became his con- stant companions. I was left alone to muurn over the change I had wrought. At first he made it a rule to be in at night at ten o'clock, but after a time he began to stay out. later ; and daybreak sometimes found him from home. I tried to expos tulate, tried to win him back to his old habits, but my efforts were unavailing. He had got a taste of new life and it held him by a charm. Well do I remember the first night he came home in a state of intoxication. It was his seventeenth birthday, just a year from the time I gave the party. I had seen him under the in• fluenee of wine once or twice before, but on ;'ais night he drank so deeply that some of his companions had to help him home. The hours of that night were dreadful hours of self-reproach and agony. I was so glad when morning came to dispel the gloom—so glad when reason returned to my erring child. He was very much ashamed. He said again and again he would do better ; but his resolves were worthless. Two nights later he was again brought home intoxicated. After that it was a common occurrence. lie fell lower and lower, squandered all my ready money, and. when I refused to mortgage my pro perty, that he might have more, he left me with an oath. That night a large firm was robbed, and it was discovered that Willie was one of the perpetrators of the deed. The next morning the town was alive with excite ment, and I almost crazed with anxiety, for my boy had fled. The news passed from mouth to mouth; my house was searched, and my son called a villain, but I had no power to prevent either. No one gave me a word of sympathy. 'You have only yourself to blame," said a blunt old woman, who called during the day. "The boy was happy at home, but you drove him into bad company." That night ta the hour of twelve, as I sat alone, a window was opened softly, and Willie stepped into the room. With a glad cry I sprang toward him, but he pushed me ridely away. T. W.

Had you given me the money yesterday, this would not have been." "Oh, Willie," I cried. "Yes, mother," he said sternly, "you have made me a criminal. I want to tell you I have secretly married Kate Hastings. God knows what will become of her." Kate was a pretty little creature, only nineteen years old, innocent as the violets which grew around her home. My bleed• ing heart gave a quid:, painful throb as he continued: "The world will not believe we are mar ried. She will be scorned by all. Hark ! they are coming. Mother, I am too young, too wicked to die, but I must die. Farewell !" I saw his purpose now, for his hand clutched a revolver, and springing to my feet I threw my arms about him to shield himself. But he shook me off. The next moment the loud report of a pistol echoed through the house. One glance showed me his lifeless form, stretched 311 the floor. Then existence was blank to me. When I awoke to consciousness the morning sun was shining and the house was filled with people. Bat even justice was satisfied, and I was left alone with the dead. All day, tearless and motionless. I sat beside the mangled corpse. Some peo ple, kinder than the rest, came in to make preparations for the funeral, and passed silently out, but I dienot heed them. Katie Hastings came just after dark. She was dressed in deep mourning, and her face was so ghastly that it startled me. "You, too, have come to reproach me," I said "No, mother. You suffer enough with out my reproaches. I have come to watch with the dead." "I wish to watch alone," I said. "It is I who will watch alone," she re turned. "It is my right, lam his wife." low calm she seas I There was not even a tremor of the voice to tell how she suf fered. "Yes, it is your right, my poor child !" I said. "It gives me another pang to give him up, even to you, my daughter ; still I do it." She looked up quickly. "He has told you ?" "Yes." "Yet you speak kindly to me and do not eondemn me." A sad, beautiful smile for a moment lighted her features. She raised one of my hands and kissed it reverently. "Thank you," she said. "Some time you will be glad for having shown this kind• ness to one so much in need of it. Now, mother, leave me." I left the apartment, but did not retire. All night I sat on the floor outside the door, hoping that Katie would bid me enter; but no such summons came. Daylight returned and the busy world moved, still I heard no movement in the chamber of death. At last my anxiety became so great that I opened the door and 100 led in. The girl knelt by the side of the corpse apparently as:eep. Softly I stole forward and raised the drooping head. But no sad eyes met my gaze; nothing but the white face, the startling eyes of a corpse. Katie had died by her own hand, as a bottle which she clutched proved. The next day they buried the two, my erring son and his child wife, in one grave; and ,as the clods fell on the coffin the brightness of my life went out. fprever. Mrs. Brown could say no more, for sobs choked her utterance Her listener, too, was deeply affected, as her pale face and tearful eyes plainly showed. Leaving the bereaved mother for a mo ment, Mrs. Gray stole softly to the door and said : "Willie!' The child heard her and carne quickly to her side. "What is it, mamma ?" "It is so lonesome without you, darling," she said, drawing him to her. A smile lit up his face. "Then do you love me, mamma ?" . "Love you ? Oh, Willie !" Her arms were about him now and she was sobbing on his shoulder. "Did somebody tell you about those bad boys ?" he asked, wonderingly. "They have got a flask of whisky, mamma." "Thank God ! You arc saved, my dar ling," she cried, hysterically. She drew him closer to her, she clung to him, showered kisses on his wondering face. But never, until he was a man, with a son of his own, did she tell him the story of that other Willie, whose child hood and his had been so much alike, and how, by the knowledge of that other Willie's unfortunate career, he had been saved by her from a like fate.—Peterson's Magazine. , lirtg a text Our New York Letter, Sacred Music—Other Music—Sunday— Building in New York and Real Es tate Tilton-Beecher—Boss Tweed— Rents and Empty Stores—Economy.

In our boyhood days when we went to singing school, partly to learn psalmody, but principally to gaze on the pretty face of Nary Jane and go home with her after the exercises were over, we were content to furnish vocalism to the churches for nothing, and even esteem it an honor and privilege to he invited to make one of the choir. In New York sacred music Lignite an other thing. Singing in choirs is as much of a profession as singing in operas—in fact, the singers wbo delight the public in opera, weekday nights, furnish the sacred music for the churches Sundays, and a very pretty sum it costs a church to get such music as it wants. The organists, I:nr instance ; in a reasonably plain church gets $l,OOO per annum, the leader or manager gets as much more, the soprano gets from 8500 to $7OO, the alto as much, and the tenor and basso about the same, or gener- ally a little less. This makes the quartette. Then comes a chorus of perhaps twenty voices who are paid from $lOO to 8500 each, according to position, quality and capacity. These singers are almost without excep tion professionals, who sing praises to the Almighty without feeling, caring or know ing what they sing—their business being purely mercenary. This scale of priees applies only to the moderately opulent churches—the great ones double or treble these figures. In Trinity for instance the music is quite as excellent in character as that of the operatic stage, and it attracts thousands of people who go for that alone. In many of the churches choirs of boys are employed. It is all well. I see no reason why the Evil One should monopo lize all the Lurid things of life. Why should not sacred music be rendered artistically, and why should n9t (behest nessieal talent be employed in the service of the temple ? It attracts people to placssof worship, and impresses them when they get there. At least so say the clerzymen, and who should know if they shn't? Beecher's church has a superb or;,?anist, Zudel, and a choir who simply lead the mnitits4e, and Tal mage does without a choir. The an and a cornet player lead the pe , ple When 5,000 people in that immense anitence room raise their voices together, the effect is indescribably grand. And speaking of M USTI', the theatres of the city hive for met months been giving what in the bills are called "Sacred Concerts," Sunday nights. The value of the "Sacred Concerts" may lie inferred from the following rrn-zramme : 30T11 SACRED CONCERT-20W ER Y EATRZ The concert this evening will (...ffinience with the romantic drama entitled The French Spy. with Miss Louise Sylvester as the Arab boy, to be followed Ity the drama. in three acts, entitled Jonathan Rraflrml.

In all the minor theatres dramatic per formances, the same as on week day nights. have been given Sunday nigh:s, under thn name of sacred concerts, and the opera troupes have been quite as unblushing in the evasion of the law. Finally the managers of the better dam of theatres ent , :red their protest against it in conjunction with the leading citizens. and a raid on the places was inaugurated. Last Sunday night a number of them were closed, but the majority of them went through all their performances. 'THE SUNDAY QULSTION is a very difficult one to manage here. There is an enormous German and French rp elation, who will not yield one iotaof their notions on this subject. They regard Son• day as a day not only to rest, but recre ation, and crowd into it all theamusement of the week.

The ',Trim of New York knows of no question or pub lie policy that is so important to him, and his vote is influenced more by this ques tion than by any other. He does not be lieve in religions observances on Sunday. he has no sympathy with the puritan idea —in short, be is in antagonism with it all . And to him it is a viol matter, and he fights it in every possible way. It counts OD election days, and from this time out it will count more. BUILDINO AND REAL EATATE. The real estate people are disturbed . Under the stimulus of the war and war inflation, real estate went up t'earfully. Building lots in the vicinity of the Park were a few ye irs ago counted fairly cheat at $20,000, and $25,000 was not an unu sual price. They are not so high now. in deed they couldn't be sold to day for the half what was paid for them. They lay dead property. There is no use in building on them, Iv there are a thousand or more empty houses above 42d street, and three times that number below, not going lower down thAn 14th. I mentioned last week the fact that there are thousands of empty stores and o ffi ee s. Thi s condition of thin; zs is easily accounted for. New York has built houses and stores without providing the business to fill them. She has permitted Baltimore to take one part of her trade, and Boston another part. She has allowed the dan gerous classes to take possession of the government of the city, and has done everything possible to check her growth and limit ber prosperity. The Legislature, instead of selling or filling up the lateral canals, which never did any business and make heavy drafts on the Erie. foolishly keeps them up and drives away the trade which otherwise would 6nd the city by that channel, and her merchants sit down on 'natural advantages" and allow cart men, middlemen and leeches generally, to suck the substance out of the grain trade. In the meantime, Baltimore and Boston are building elevators and reaching their long railroad arms out over the emotry ; and Canada is arranging to improve her river tied canal system so as to get better connection with the great West. and clip the metropolis still more. New York is the great commercial cen tre of the continent, and always right to be; but there has got to be a change of tactics 4,1' she will lose her place, sure. LABOR continues unsettled end unsitisfeetory. The employers are discharging vast num bets of men and reducing not only the time but the wages of those they retain. The poor fellows, driven to madn es s, strike —the factories close, and then comes hun ger, cold and desperation. This will be the worst winter New York has ever seen. Laboring men who have something to do out of New York are very lucky. TILTON-BEECHER. Public interest in the great s ..iodal being revived, the matter having come np in the courts. Moulton Ins settled the libel suit of Edna Dean Proctor by paying the costs already incurred and counsel fees, amounting in all to about $5,000. The public take this action of his as a conies sion that her case was good, but it will be remembered that he never asserted that Beecher had had criminal intercourse with her—only that Beecher told him so. This he still asserts, Ile settles beuan•e by giving this publicity his counsel advise him that he has laid himself liable to 31i.s Proctor. BOSS TW F.F.V. The wicked old man is on the snrface again. Tired of living in prison, knowing that Gov. Dix will not pardon him. and that the Governor elect. Tilden. dare mat, if ho wonld, he appealed once more to the courts. He was taken out of prison ow a writ of habeas C 07,43, and taken before the courte,where he petitioned to be discharged on the score that the coast that tried him had no jurisdiction. Judge Barrett, de tided, of course, against the illustrious thief, and back he went. Wednesday night a rumor prevailed that ho had giver the officers the slip, and had got away to ga rope, and the lie for an hear was generally credited.
