Knitting the Searf.
A sly little maiden sits by me to-night,
Softly humming en old tune low,
The bright thio.ads sash through her lingers
white, , ,
As she guldeth the needle to and fro. -
Sweet is the song that the maiden singeth.
• Sad to my heart are the thought's It Dringeth,
Dreams that were buried so long ago,
Under the snow—under the snow. l
Little maiden knoweth of this,
Weaving the hright thresicl in the 'while ;
Her thoughts are weaving a dream of bliss,
And her red lips part in a sweet half smile,
As her happiness in With ditchstitch she twineth
under the lid grows tender and dint,
Thinking of him—thinlting of him.
Thus the needle bearetli a double thread,
As daintily in and out it flies,
And the Conscious flood in her eyes giows red.
'Nenth the smile of any steady eyes.
Shake down the aloud of the brown hair's glory
Lest thy blushes should tell the story ;
That was old when the Eden skies were blue
Yet ever is new—ever is new. •
So blushing and slyly the maiden sings,
Knitting the scarf for her absent lover.;'
And methinks two angles with golden wings,
Softly round the maiden hover.
}leaven grant that the hopes thou art weaving
Leave no roan in thy heart for grieving;
"Angels keep thee !" I softly pray,
Turning away—turning away.
Kick Hint When He's Down.
When the snn of prosperity's shining,
And the man's growing rich every day.
When in ease and comfort reclining,
And golden success crowns his way—
How friends will then flock about him;
But if fortune should happen to frown,
How quickly he'll get the "cold shoulder,'
And be "kicked because he is doWn."
How kindly the world will smile on him,
When life with successes abound;
How cordially, blandly, 'twill greet him
As in pleasure he's riding around!
But then let reverses o'ertake him,
And Ills friends both in country and town,
Hay° not a kind sentence to cheer him,
But will "kick him as soon as he's clown."
Let a man get position or wealth,
Matters not by intrigue or fraud,
The world nods approvingly at him,
And his acts will loudly applaud ;
What though he may be a great villian,
With the simple; the wise and the clown,
While he's up he's a "tip-top fellow,"
But they'll "kick him as soon as he's clown."
When a man has plenty of " greenbacks,"
And he's healthy, and festive, and gay,
He's counted a " bully, good chum," then,
And the crowd approves all be may say;
ButJustlot him loose his treasures,
Perchance, too, his health may be gone,
He'll got to be nobody quickly -
And sure to be "kicked when. he's down,"
What's the use of being moral or honest,
Or strive to bo upright and true ; '
For, unless a man has " lots ofrnoney,"
The world's bound to "put him right through;"
They'll "go for him" certainly and surely, •
From Jockey to priest in his gown—
And all stand ready to snub him,
And "kick him because is down."

The Blighted Life.
A..,rcrAYN.Amlp.sTosvv.
Wo had been out twenty-four hours, and
stood eleven to one. The case 'was a very
plain one—at least we eleven thought so.
A murder of peculiar atrocity- had been
committed, and - though no eye, bad wit
nessed the deed, circumstances pointed to
the prisoner's guilt with unfailing certainty.
The recusant jury had stood out from the
first. He acknowledged the cogency of the
proofs, confessed his inability to reconcile
the facts with the defendant's innocence,
and yet, on every vote, wont steadily for
acquittal.
His conduct was inexplicable. It could
not result from a lack of intelligence ; for,
while be spoke but little, his 'words were
well chosen, and evinced a thorough'under
standing of the case. -
Though still in the prime of manhood, his
locks were prematurely white, and his face
wore a singular, sad and thoughtftilexpres-
QM
Ile might be one of those who entertained
scruples as to the right of society to inflict
the death penalty. But no, it was not that;
for, in reply to such a'sugestion, he frankly
admitted that brutal men, like the vicious
brutes they resemble, must be controlled
through fear, and that dread of death, the
supreme terror, is in many eases the only
adequate restraint.
At the prospect of another night of fruit
less imprisonment , we began to grow impa
tient, and expostulated- warmly against
what seemed - an unreasonable captious
ness, and some not overkind remarks were
Indulged in as to the impropriety of trifling
with an oath like that under which we were
acting.
"And yet," the man answered, as though
communing with• himself rather than re
pelling the imputation, "it is conscience
that hin , lers my'concurrence in a verdict
approved by my judgment."
"flow can that be?" queried several at
once. ' "'Conscience may not always dare
to follow judgment.",
"But here she.ean know noother guide."
" I once would have said the same."
" And what has changed your opinion ?"
" Experience."
The speaker's manner was visibly agitat
ed, and we waited in silence the explana
tion which he seemed ready to give.
Mastering his emotion, as if in answer to
our looks of inquiry, he continued :
"Twenty years ago I - was a young man
just beginninglife. Few had brighter pros
pects, and none brighter hopes:
" An attachment dating from , childhood,
had ripened with-its object. There had
been no verbal declaration and acceptance
of loye—no blighting of troth ; but when I
took my departure to seek 'a home in the
distant West, it was understood that when
I had found it and put it in order, she was
to share it.
,
"Life in the (arrest, though solitary, is
not necessarily lonesome. The lane of so
ciety offered by nature depends much on
one's self. As for me, I live more in the
future than in the present; and Hope is en
ever-cheerful companion.
"At length the time came for making the
final payment on the home which I had
bought. It would henceforth be my own ;
and in a few more months my simple dwell
ing, which I had spared no pains to render
inviting, would be graced by its mistress.
" At the land office, which was some sixty
miles off; I met my old friend, George C—.
He, too, had come to'seels his fortune in the
:West; and we were • both delighted at the
meeting. Ho bad brought with -him, ho
said, a sum.of•money which he desired to
invest in land, on which it was his purpose
to settle.
I expressed a strong wish to have him
fora neighbor, and gave,him u cordial in
yitation to accompany me home, giving it
'as my belief that he could nowhere make a
better selection than in that vicinity.
* "Be - readily Consented, 'and we set out
together. * We hid 'not ridden many miles,
`when George suddenly recollected acorn
mission 'he 'had undertaken for a friend,
which would require his attendance at a
public land sale on the following day.
, - •
" Exacting a promise that he would not
delay his visit longer than',neiessary, 'and
having given minute directions as to, the
route, I contin aid my Way Lome warcl;whi le
'he turned back.'
"I was about 'retiringto bed on the night
of My return, when a sumunotti from with
out called me to the door., ,A'stranger asked
Shelter for himself and - herie Tor the night.
"I invited' him in: Though a stranger,
his face Seemed net unfamilliar. He was
probably one a
,of the men Thad soon at the ,
Land office, place at, that time very renal
frequented.,
"Offering him a seat, I went out to put
up his bathe. The poor animal, as well as
I could see by the dim slarlight seemed :to
'have been hardly used. His panting sides
bore witness to merciless riding, and a
tremulOus shrinking at the slightest touch,
betokened recent fright.
" On returning to the house I found the
stranger was not there. His * absence ex
cited no surpriie; he would doubtless soon
return. It was a little singular, however,
that he shotild have left his watch lying on,
the table.
"At the end of an hour, my guest not re
turning, I went again to the stable, think
ing he might have found his way thither, to
give his personal attention to the wants of
his horse.
" Before going out, from mere force of
habit—for we were as yet =infested by
either thieves or policemen—l took the pre
caution of putting the stranger's watch in a
drawer in which I kept my own valuables.
" I found the horse as I left him, and gave
him the food which, lie was now sufficiently
cooled to eat; but his roaster was nowhere
to be seen.
" As I approached the house, a crowd of
men on horseback drove up, and I was com
manded in no gentle tones to ' stand V In
another moment I was .in the clutches of
those who claimed me as their' prisoner.,
' I was too much stupefied at first to ask
what it all meant. I did so at last, and the
explanation came. It was terrible
"My friend, with wbome I had so lately
set out in company, bad been found mur
dered and robbed near the spot at which I,
but I only, knew we had separated. I was
the last person known to be with him, and
I was now arrested on suspicion of his mur
der.
"A search of the premises was immedi
ately instituted. The watch was found ii
the drawer in which I had placed it, and
was identified as the property of ,the mur
dered man. His horse, too, was found in
my stable, for the animal I- had just, put
there was none other. I recognized him
myself when I saw him in the light.
" What I said I know not. Aly confusion
was taken as additional evidence. And
when, at length, I did command language
to give an intelligible statement, It was re
ceived with sneers of incredulity.
"The mob spirit is inherent •in man—at
least in crowds of men. It may not always
manifest itself in physical violence. It
sometimes contents itself with „lynching
aChitracter. But whatever its form, it is
always relentless, pitiless, cruel.
"As the proofs of my guilt, one after an
-04495,?aM9,40044,90-Ixtuttering,s.grad-
nidly grew into a clamor for vengeance ; and
but for the firmness of one man—the officer
who had me in charge—l would doubtless
have paid the penalty of my supposed ; of
fence on the spot. ' •
" It was not sympathy for me that actu
sled my pioteOter. This heart was as bard
as his office. But he represented the ma
jesty of the law, and took a sort of grim
prido in his position.
"As much under the glance of his eye as
before the muzzle of his pistol, the cowardly
clsmorers drew back, Perhaps they were
not sufficiently numerous to feel the fall
effect of that mysterious reflex influence
which makes a corwd of men so much
worse, and at times so much better, than
one of them single.
* * * * * * * * ,
"At the end of some months my trial
came. It could have but
,one result. Cir
cumstances too plainly deelared,ini guilt.
I alone knew they lied.
" The absence of the jury, was brief. To
their verdict I paid but little heed. It was
a single hideous word ; but I had long an
ticipated it, and it made no impression.
"As little Impression was made by the
words of the Judge, which followed it; and
his solemn invocation that God might ha've
that mercy upon me which man was too
just to vouchsafe, sounded like the hollow
est of hollow mockeries. •
"It'm ay be hard for a guilty criminal to
meet death ; but it is still harder for him
who is innocent. The one, when the 'first
shock is over, acquiesces in his doom and
gives himself up to repentance . ; the heart
of the other, filled with rebellion against
man's injustice, can scarce bring itself to
ask pardon of God.
" I had gradually overcome this feeling
in spite of the good clergyman's irritating
efforts, whiCh were mainly directed to
wards extracting a confession, without
which, be assured me, he had no hope, to
offer.
" On the morning of tho day axed for my
execution I felt measurably resigned. I
had so long stood face to face with death,
bad so accustomed myself to look upon it
as a merely momentary pang, that I no
longer felt solicitous, save that my memory
should one day be vindicated.
' , one for whom I had gone to prepare a
home had already found ono in Heaven.
Tho tidings of my calamity had broken her
heart. She alone of all the world believed
me innocent.; and she bad died with a,
player upon her lips that the truth might
yet be brought to light
"All this I had hertr.l, and it had soothed
as with sweet incense my troubled spirit.
Death, however unwelcome the shape; was
now a portal beyond which I could see one
angle waiting to receive me.
"1 heard the sound of approaching foot
steps, and nerved myself to meet the ex
pected summons. The - door of my cell
opened, and the Sheriff and his attendants
entered. fie bad in his band a paper. It
was doubtless mydeath-warrant. He began
to rend it. My thoughts were husy else-

tmown as old Timmy,"
a: renowned and redoubtable preacher ; of
East' Tonnesiee,'wak, related to Hugh L.
,White, for _,triany
,years a ,Alstiaguished
Yridge that State, .and afterwarka con
siicirOus*Mber of the Federal Senate.
It was through the town of,Tonea
boreugh that Mr..A.xley, • would, hold forth
On the 'M'ornin'g of the ensuing Sabbath.'
,The ihmous divine was a, great favorite—
'with none more than. with Judge White.
At the appointed hour", the Judge, in corn-,
'Puny with n large,congregation, was in at
tendance attire house ;of prayer.. All was
bushed in expectation. 11fr. Alley entered,
but with 'him
, a brother who was
"put tip , " to preach. The congregation
was Composed of a borderpopulation; they
wore disappointed ;' this was not the marl
the:y : llnd come to bear; consequently, there
was a good deal of misbehavior. The dis-
course, was ended, and Mr. Axley -rose. It
is a custom in the , netscountry when two
or More preachers:are present, for each of
them to have something to say. The people
opine that it is a great waste of time to come
a long distance, and be put off with a short
service. I have gone into church at S
o'clock in the morning, and have not come
out agiin until 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
Short administrations are the growth of
thicker settlements.
Mr. Axley stood silently surveying the
congregation, until every eye was riveted.
Ho then began : „
"It may be a verypainful duty, but it is
a very solemn ono, for a minister to rebuke
misconduct and sin, whenever and where
ever he sees it. But especially is this his
duty on Sunday and at church. This is a
duty I am now about to attend to,
"And now," continued the reverend
speaker, pointing with his long finger in
the direction indicated, " that man sitting
out yonder, behind the door, wno got up
and wont out white the brother-was preach
ing, stayed,out as long as he wanted to, got
his boots full of mud, came back and stamp
ed the mud off at the door, making all the
noise be could, on purpose to disturb the
atten'ion of the congregation, and then took
his seat ; that man thinks I mean him. No
wonder ho does. It dosn't look as if ho had
been raised in the white-settlements, does
it, to behave that way at meeting? Now,
my friend, I'd advise you to learn better
manners before you come to elurch noct
time. But I don't mean him."
" And now;" again pointing nt his mark
"that little girl sitting there, about half
way, of houss—l should judge her to be
about sixteen years old—that's her with the
artificial flowers on the outside.of her bon
not and the inside of her bonnet ; she has a
breastpin on, too, (theY were very severe on
all superfluities of dress,) she that was gig
gling and chattering all the time the brother
was-preaching, so that even the older !sisters
in the neighborhood couldn't hear what ho
was saying, though they tried to.• She
thinks I• mean . her. .I'm sorry from the
bottom of my heart for any parents who
have raised a girl to her time of day, and
,haven't taught.her:how to behavewhen She
comes to church. Little girl, you have dis
graced your parents, as well as yourself.
Behave better next time, won't you ? But
I don't mean her. ,
Directing his finger to another aim, he
said: - -
"That man sitting there, that looks ns
bright and pert as dile never was asleep in
his life, and never expected to be, but that
just as soon as the brother, took his text,
laid his head down on the back of the seat
iu front of him, wont sound asleep, slept
thO whole time and snored ; that man thinks
I wan him. My friend, don't you know
the church ain't the place to sleep. If you
_need rest, why, didn't you stay at home,
take offyour clothes, and go to bed ? 'That's{
the place to sleep, not at church. The next
time youhaVe a chance to bear a sermon, I
adv,ise you to keep awake. _gut I don't
wan you.
Thus did.hewoceed, pointing out every
man, woman and child, who had in the
slightest deViated from a befitting line of
conduct; characterising the inisdeineanor,
and rending sharp lessons of rebuke,
Judge White was all this time sitting at
the end of thefront seat, just under the
speaker, enjoying the old gentleman's dis
quisition to the last degree; twisting his
neck around to note if the audience relished
the "down-comings" as much as he did ;
rubbing his hands, smiling, chuckling in
wardly. Between his teeth and cheek was
a monstrous quid of tobacco, which, the
better he was pleased the more be chew
ed ; the more he chewed the more he spat,
and, behold, the floor bore witness to the
results. At length the old gentleman,
streightening himself up to his height, con
tinued, with great gravity:
"And now, I reckon you want to know
whom do I mean. I mean that dirty, nasty
filthy tobacco chewer, sitting on the end of
that front seat"his linger meanwhile
pointing as true as the needle to the pole—
"see what he has-been about! Look at
those puddles on the floor ; a frog wouldn't
get into them. Think of the tails of the
sisters' dresses being dragged through the
muck I" "The crest-fallen Judge averred
that be never chewed any more tobacco in
church.
Who in John Smith?
At noon yesterdsy, according to an
nouncement, General Butterfield began to
open tile proposals to purchase $1,000,000 of
gold. He had nearly finished' the reading
when he openeda proposal from John Smith
at $133,30, a figure about one-sixth larger
than any other of the bids. Hurriedly com
pleting the remainder of his task, the gen
eral awarded the whole amount to Mr.
John Smith, at the premium named. Gen
eral Butterfield then went over to Dohnon
ico's to lunch.
Just. as be had reached the stage (for those
who are curious about such things it may
be saki that his first course was potagc a la
maitre d'llet el) a clerk rushed madly into
the restaurant, upsettinga waiter and a side
table, and breathlessly addressing the Gen
eral, said :
"How about those awards, sir 7"
"Wby, I mado 'om, didn't I? I gavel
hem to John Smith."
'• Yes sir. 13ut who's John. Smith I"
Here was a poser. Jamming his military
hat hard down on his head, and hurriedly
buttoning the lower brass button of his mil
itary vest - the General rushed forth into
Broad street. The first man be met was a
certain stock operator who has long been in
search of a "Northwest", passage via, CiliCA
go.
I say, -, who is John Smith ?"
.4..?0hn Smith? Woll, my,shoetnaltor is
John Smitli t and the watchman at my place
is another John Smith, and—,,
"Oh, d—n them," said the General, "I
want John Smith, tho'hanker."
Rushing up to the,Sub-Treasury, General
Butterfield put the same puzzling question
to all his clerks, and they raked up from
the depths of their memories enough John
rniths to man a 74-gun frigate, but not ono
of theta was a banker. Giving John up as
a bad job, tho General revoked the award,
$2,00 Per Year, in Advance; $2;50 if not Paid in Advance
•
and, consequently, the giold. sold for 133 and
133.15 instead'of 133.30, as ivould have been
the,case had John Smitkappeared to make
good .his proposal.
It, was hoped at the Sub-Treasury that
this annoying incident of official life would
aot get spread abroad ; but, alas for human
expectations! The financial editors had
already been informed that John Smith was
the, lucky gold purchaser, and through
them the bankers and brokers were also
' made aware of the fact. For some time cu
riosity was expressed on all sides as to
"Who is John Smith?" but finally the story
got out, and all Wall street was on the
broil grin.
On the Gold Board the busy brokers sus
pended their (*rations for full ten minutes
during
. which time fifty lusty voices pro
pounded the puzzling question, " Who is
Sohn Smith?" Two young brokers, enter
ing the room, instructed the door-keeper to
call John Smith, and he added his voice to
the universal din, never thinking that he
was calling for a Treasury rnyth ! A strung
er- entering the -room instructed the door
keeper to call John Smith, and he added
his voice to the universal din, never think
ing that he was calling fora Treasury myth !
A stranger entering the room at that mo
ment would have at first supposed that the
brokers were about to engage in deadly con
flict, such - was their. unbearthly din ; but
hearing their loud cry for John Smith—
peaceable John, who was never known to
hurt anybody'but Turks and Indians—ho
would have been reassured and looked on
without' fear. It was currently reported
last night that General Butterfield, armed
with a mountain howitzer and a double
barrelled shot gun, was still searching for
John Smith. Perhaps ho will find him:-
2 ew York Sun Augnst 20,
Buying; Gloves in Gib:niter.
A very handsome young lady in the store
offered me a pair of blue gloves. I did not
want blue, but she said they would look
very, pretty on a hand like mine. The re
mark touched rno tenderly. I glanced fur
tively at rnybaucl, and somehow it did seem
rather a comely member. I tried a glove on
my left, band blushed a little. Manifestly
the size was too small for tee. But I felt
'gratified ehen she said :
"Oh, it is just right !"—yet I knew it was
no such a thing.
I tugged at it diligently, but it was dis
cense:zing work. She said :
Ah I see you are accustomed to wear
ing kid gloves, but some gentleman aro so
awkward about putting them on."
It was the last compliment Ihad expected.
I only understand about putting on the
buckskin article perfectly. I made another
effort, and tore the glove from the Vase of
the thumb into the palm of the hand—and
tried to hide the rent. She kept up her com
pliments, and I kept up my determination
• to deserve them or die.
".A.h, you have had experience !" [A. rip
down the. back of-thehand.] " They are
just right for you—your handais very small
—if they tear yott need not pay for them."
[A rent across the middle.] "I can always
toll when a gentleman understands putting
.on-a
-c-id -'Therer , is - a — gritee - abourlt
that only comes with long practice." [The
whole aftorguard of the glove " fetched
away," as the sailors say, the fabric parted
across the knuckles, and nothing was loft
but a melancholly ruin.]
I was too much flattered to make an ex
posure and. threw the merchandise on the
angel's bands. I was hot, vexed confused,
butstill happy,butl bated the other boys for
taking such an absorbing interest in the
proceedings. I wished they wore in Jericho.
-I felt exquisitely mean when I said; cheer
fully ;
"This ono does very well : it fits elegant
ly. I like a glove that fits. No never mind
ma'am, never mind; I'll put the other on
in the street. It is warm here."
It was warm. It was tho warmest place
I ever was in. I paid the bill, and as I pass
ed out with a fascinating bow, I thought I
detected a light in the woman's eye that was
gently ironical, and when I looked back
from the strect,and she was laughing to her
self about something or other, I said to
myself with withering sarcasm, " Oh, cer
tainly; you know how to put on kid gloves,
don't you ?—a self-complacent ass, ready to
be flattered out of your senses by every pet
ticoat that chooses to take the trouble to do
it!"
Vine 'Feathers at Church
Harper's _Bazaar is certainly not very
Puritanic on questions of dress. Perhaps
the good people who aro more under bond
age to fine dressing than they propose, will
like to know its opinion on this subject of
dressing for church.—American Church
man.
The best bred people of every Christian
country but our own avoid all personal dis
play when engaged in worship and prayer.
Our churches on the contrary, aro made
places for the exhibition of line apparel and
other costly and flaunting compliances
with fashion, by those who boast of supe
rior wealth and manners. We shall leave
our gewgawed devotees to reconcile humili
ation in worship with vanity in dress.
That is a problem which we confess we
have neither the right nor the capacity to
solve. How far fine clothes may affect the
personal piety of the devotee we do not pre
tend even to conjecture; but we havo a
very decided opinion in regard to their in
fluence upon the religion of others. The
fact is, that our churches are AO 'fluttering
with birds of fine feathers that no sorry
fowl will venture in. It is impossible for
poverty in rags and patches, or even in de
cent but humble costume, to take its seat,
if it should be so fortunate as to find a
place, by the side of wealth iu brocade and
broadcloth. The poor are so awed by the
pretension of superior dress and "the
proud man's contumoly,"that they natural
ly avoid too close a proximity to them. The
church being the only place on this side of
the'grave designed for the rich and the poor
to meet together In equal prostration before
Cod, it certainly should always be kept
free for this common humiliation and
brotherhood. It is so in most of the
churches in Burope, where the beggar in
rags and wretchedness and the wealthiest
and most eminent, whose appropriate so
brioty of dress leaves them without mark
of external distinctien,kneel down together
equalized by a common humiliation before
the only Supreme Being. The adoption of
a more simple attire for chuch on the part
of the rich in this country would have the
effect, certainly not of diminishing their
own personal piety, but probably of in
creasing the disposition for religions oh
servance on the part of the poor.

Wo3llll:.—Woman has but ono right that
man should respect.. It is her right to be
woman. Much is said of the equal rights of
the sexes, but in the crowded car, woman is
not to be treated as man, but as woman.
She may have power to drive omnibuses or
to run engines, but it is her right to bo ex
empted from such callings. In political
gatherings, she may barranguothe crowd,
but she does it to her shame. She may at
tract the curious by her public scoidings,
but those who applaud her smart repartees
would not have such direst their home af
fairs. The family history of these public
women would he of interest, but so far as
we know this—Mr. Tilton to the contrary—
they are not model wives or mothers. That
they are strong-minded is no glory to them
but a proof of masculinity.
In other mental qualities, woman has no
right to be equal to man. She was. made to
be his superior, and when equal she degrades
herself. In all that the heart can do, she
has no equal. The mother makes the child
ren what they aro to be in life. As souls be

not by likeness, but by diversity of rights.
