GENTLZIIIOI: In the year 1856, I unfortunately
was in business In the Artisan Building, which
was destroyed by fire on the 10th of April. I
bad then in use what I supposed was a Fire
proof Safe, but upon opening it I found every
thing was destroyed, and fire burning therein.
You will recollect, gentlemen, there were
several of your Safes in that fire, also several in
the fi re at Sixth and Commerce streets, the next
May, five weeks afterwards, all of which upon
being opened proved they were fi re-proof in
deed-, for I witnessed the opening of the most
of them, and in every case the contents were
preserved, while Safes of other makers were
partially or entirely destroyed. lat once .con
eluded to have something that I could depend
upon, and purchased one of your Safes.
- The Safe I purchased of you at that time was
subjected to a white heat (which was witnessed
by several gentlemen that reside In the neigh
borhood) at the destruction of my Marble Paper
Factory, 921 Wallace street, on the afternoon
and evening , of the 24th inst. After digging the
Safe from the ruins, and opening it this morn
ing, I was much pleased to find everything, con
sisting of books, papers, money and silverware
all right. I shall want another of your Safes as
soon as I can get a place to continue my busi
ness in. I could not rest contented with any
other make of Safes.

NOVEMBER THE TENTH.•
An annial circle of days is complete,
And the tenth of November again we may greet
The su is still shining in heaven above,
Upheld by His mereiful wisdom and love.
And wljenee comes this shadow—this yearning

What ineans the sad want—that our words can
not tell,
And Autumn's bright sunshine still fails to dis
c
When iiis day to us soame—only one year ago—
The floet, with its Shepherd, assembled below;
In soelii reunion we sang and we prayed,
And we clasped a dear hand that in death now
is Hid.
In death, said we sot Ali, forgive us the word,
For that glorified hand is still serving its Lord;
Beneetton and succor on earth it bestowed,
And dbw it is reaping the sheaves that it sowed.
Dear Pastor, tried friend and brother beloved,
From our weak mortal vision thy spirit's re
moved ;
And yet thou art with us—we feel it to-day,
As in thought and affection thy life we portray.
We miss thee as Pastor—we miss thee as friend,
For thy brotherly nearness our yearnings
ascend,
And we pray that our Father in mercy and
love,
Will grant us reunion in Heaven above.

November the Tenth, in the years still to come,
With memories tender, will over return ;
For it gave to the world, and to us it has given,
A model, a leader,
a helper toward Heaven.
And though by thy " resting place," lone on the

We litfter—" remember"—and weep for thee
still ;
We 10.‘,w thou "art risen," and happy in Him—
Resurrection's " tirstfruits," and our Saviour
from sin.
Lookibg up through our tears to that home of

To tb glorified ones in that haven of rest ;
Thy film we distinguish, thy face as of old—
Only glorified now with radianee untold. -
Wheneitu we can think of thee—then we can
raise
Our voice in thanksgiving, and honor, and
praise,
To our God who has taken thee safe from all
harm,
And abetters thee tenderly with Ris own arm—
" Where the Saints of all ages in harmony meet,
Their Saviour and brethren transported to
greet;
Wine , the. anthems cf rapture unceasingly

And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the

404641 a EX GRIMES' SECOND
WIFE.
Poor Mrs. Grimes! she can't live out
the day."
The words were sadly spoken by more
than one neighbor, casting mournful glan
ces toward that upper window where the
blinds were shut.
Poor Mrs. Grimes! just as she hatl got
settled so comfortable in her new house,
too."
Yes, it was poor Mrs. Grimes every
where; a withered woman, old at forty.
She was dying in the pretty room where
she had hoped to enjoy so much. Her
husband sat near her, silently battling
with his grief, for he had loved that patient
wife for twenty years.
The sharp, pinched features, now gray
with the shadow of death, had been beau
tiful once—the dull eyes had sparkled with
the fire of joy and health. Children had
been carried in those wasted arms, and
from thence taken all too soon to the
grave. Two sons stood in the chamber
with solemn faces, unwilling to let 'moth
er, go. Old and faded, wrinkled and suf
fering though she was, they held her heart
by the strong cords of love.
Twenty years before, Mrs. Grimes was
installed by a happy husband, mistress of
his house. It was not his own farm whose
broad acres he cultivated, consequently he
determined to work hard, to be diligent,
frugal and saving, so that in the time to
come he might have some place to call his
own.
In this pleasant scheme the young wife
entered with all her heart. She was healthy
1
and ong, knew how to work and was
not a id of her labor. She put forth all
ker s ength, and her thrift and toil told.
'Ever year the farmer laid by money to
ward his purchase. People wondered why
the 'mews would go to meeting in that
ricke old wagon , and why Mrs. Grimes
ii i
wore e same faded muslin that she had
wor at least ten years. But she knew
why ad though her form began to bend,
thou her hands had grown coarse and
miss pen, and she had suffered pains and
ills e never felt before, it did not once
occur to her that these were the effects of
hardand wearing labor.
Tir4e to read! why, the good woman
woulcialmost have laughed in the face of
one who asked the question. Look at her
work and then imagine, if you could, that
she lad any time. She had not even
leisure to eat her meals properly; what
with cooking huge messes of pork and beef,
cabbage and potatoes, tilling tub after tub
with apple sauce, making all the cheese
and bread and butter for the household,
and the hired men, how could she eat her
meals as she should ?
Strange to say, she never regretted all
this outlay of strength—all this waste of
human life. Ever before her was the pros
pect of that pleasant farm, cleared, plant
ed, and paid for. She wanted no help,
except when her children were born, arc{
even then she gave the wearied frame no
time for repose, but stitched and mended,
propped up by pillows, before nerve or
muscle were able to perfbrm their proper
functions. Thus it was that she grew
shrunken and old before her time—grew
into a machine of flesh and blood that
never slackened in the huge toil it had
taken Upon itself to bear. The -husband
became accustomed to the pale face and so

kA
often had he listened to her oft-repeated
declaration that she would not have held,
that at last he gave up all thought of it.
She never took rides in the sweet country
roads—she had no time to tend and love
flowers—she never visited—she had always
something to do.'
One day the farmer came in early in the
afternoon. It was an unusual hour for
him, and his wife said so, looking up from
a huge pile of mending.
" Well," and he flushed and smiled, as
he seated himself in one of the uncomfor
table kitchen chairs, "I've bought Jer
ry's place,' at last, and paid for it—every
cent.',
The faded eye kindled—the lips parted
with a smile—but suddenly the woman
bowed her face and burst into tears.
" Why, Sallie—why, wife—l—thought
you'd be mighty pleased I" cried the far
mer, startled at this exhibition of feeling.
"I am, dear," and Sallie struggled to
overcome her grief, " but such a lonesome,
drearysome feeling came over me then. I
only thought of the dead babies in their
graves."
" You're tired and sick, Sally; fact is
you're killin , yourself with work, and I've
been a fool not to see:it."
"I ain't kiln'' , myself, John, and I'd
rather go on just the same. The boys are
grown, and there are no little ones to take
care of ; besides I'm used to my own ways,
and shouldn't like one to break into 'em.
Jerry's place is so convenient, too—l know
it well; it won't be hard to work there."
Still work, work ; it had grown to be a
habit, and there was no charm that could
win her from it.
They were settled in the house—their
own house, and much of the old furniture
was replaced by new ; yet so fearful was
the good wife that things would not be
kept just up to the point where she found
them, that it was scrub and delve, delve
and scrub, from morning till night—just
the old way, only a little worse. At last
nature would hold out no longer. After
enjoying the new farm for six months,
Sallie complained one evening that she felt
strangely, fell down in a fainting-lit, and
was taken to her bed, never to leave it
again.
M. A. B
Poor John Grimes ! he bore a hopeless,
melancholy face at the funeral, and his
new, smart house felt like a new, smart
tomb, where the bricks, the paint, and the
varnish are all fresh.
It took him two years to get accustom
ed to Ids loneliness, and he night have
lived on, single, forever, if some presump
tuous friends had not undertaken to find
him a wife, and then almost do his wooing
for him.
Dolly Duncan was the party fixed upon
to fill the place of the late bin. Grimes.
She was an active, enterprising woman
whom no one thought of miscalling old
maid, though she had turned the corner
of thirty. She was a merry, almost jolly
person, who knew how to take care of her
self, and bad always declared that she
never wanted a husban 1 on her hands.
She had a little homestead, full of sun
shine, and she " wouldn't thank the best
man that ever trod in two shoes to ask
her to change her condition. ,, But some
how Dolly did come to have the prefix of
" Mrs." before her new name. She went
into the house of farmer Grimes, and gloom
took itself off at the sound of her merry
laugh—at the sight of her sunny face.
She must have help, she said, the first
thing; smart, capable help. John rather
opened his eyes at tics for it seemed a
new doctrine transfused into the old life,
but he was able to bear it, and forthwith a
strong girl was installed in the kitchen.
Still John Grimes, having acquired the
habit, stooped as he walked, and looked
as if strange perplexities had got hold of
him. It quite startled him, one fine spring
morning, when his wife asked him to
spade up a bit of land in a favorite spot,
where she could plant flowers, and strang
er still, commissioned him to go to the
city and procure some seeds and slips.
" Why, Sally would never have thought
of asking him—she would have done both,
or gone without them;" this she did not
say, but he kept up a hard thinking, and
Dolly,with a woman's quickness, read his
thoughts.
In its due season harvesting came on.
Dolly saw what was expected of her, and
concluded that she wouldn't do it. In her
half serious, half sportive way, she pro
tested that she could not do the work for
the farm-laborers who were expected; that
she did not like the smell of the stable, nor
the manners of the men he had hired.
" Why, Sally"—stammered he.
" I know," was the rapid rejoinder,
"poor Mrs. Grimes always did them
things, but you know, and everybody
knows, that she died of hard work.
don't want to die. I want to run my
three-score and ten, and I mean to, Pro
vidence permitting."
" I don't know but you're right, Dolly,"
said the farmer, nervously fingering his
hair—" but what shall I do? There ain't
no more help to be had."
Dolly pointed from the door. " See
here, John," she said quietly, " there's a
little house on your farm, doing nobody
good, and being ruined by dry rot. Fit
it up and let Harry Lee take it. Give
him ground for a good garden, a privilege
in the wood lot and a small sum, yearly.
He will bring his wife here, she will help
me; then let the men eat at their table,
you paying the difference of expense, and
you will save money and health, besides
having a good, reliable man always with
in call."
John Grimes looked at his cute little
wife uneasily. It is just possible he drew
a comparison, mentally, between the ever
saving Sally and this more expensive help
meet. Afterwards they had talks together,
and he felt and saw that Dollyhad a mind of

her own, and she had made it up. With
her merry brown eyes upon his face, - what
could he do but submit? So the plan was
put in execution.
The next move of this adroit little wo
man was to induce her husband to pro
cure a neat new carriage, and after that,
as she couldn't drive very well, John
must go out every day, and drive her.
John did not like this at first. It broke
in upon his habit of taking a snooze' as
he called it, but the break up put a new
life into him. It was a great point gained
to get him into a clean suit of clothes for
supper, and the John Grimes sitting at
the table, with freshly combed hair, and
clean collar, was a far handsomer man
than the John of old, and Dolly took pains
to tell him she thought so.
Now for a paper—was Dolly's next
move, and she did pull the wires admira
bly. John thought it was extravagance.
New-tangled notions were not to his lik
ing, and it took a long time for the cun
ning Dolly to gain her point. Not but
what she might have done it herself, but
she was reforming the man—don't you
see? Like a true woman, she never gave
up, but after every failure, changed her
tactics, and came off conqueror at last.
A splendid paper, that treated largely of
farming, soon lay upon his table and
Dolly,
thatacknowledged a year after, to
that it was queer, but he had really learn
ed some things that he didn't know be
fore. He had actually saved twenty dol
lars by a judicious outlay or two.
The result of these little plans is (for
Dolly is a blooming fact to-day, in spite
of her forty-nine years,) that if the reader
had happened to know John Grimes twenty
years ago, and should see him to-day, he
would not recognize him for the same
man. Dolly knew what she was about
when she took upon herself the matronly
office. Three loving children are growing
up under that happy roof, and the farmer
sees that with judicious management and
a little more outlay he might have bought
his farm, and kept wife and bairns—for.
however pretty we may talk of the little
angels in heaven,' it is certain that the
human race was not destined to die off
like sheep iu the first and tenderest years
of existence. But it was reserved for
Dolly to teach him that great truth, and
she is a very happy wife and mother.
DON'T GET DISCOURAGED.
Don't get discouraged. Who ever
pained anything by drawing down Ale
corners of his mouth when a cloud came
over the sun, or letting his heart drop
like a lead weight into his shoes when
misfortune came upon him? Why man,
if the world knocks you down and jostles
past you in its great race, don't sit whi
ning under people's feet, but get up, rub
your elbows, and begin again. There are
some people whom even to look at is
worse than a dose of chamomile tea.
What if you do happen to get a little
puzzled on the dollar and cent question?
Others beside you have stood in exactly
the same spot, and struggled bravely out
of it, and you are neither halt, lame nor
blind, that you cannot do likewise. The
weather may be dark and rainy; very
well, laugh beneath the drops, and think
cheerily of the blue sky and sunshine that
will surely come to-morrow. Business
may be dull; make the best of what you
have, and look forward to something
more hopeful. If you catch a fall, don't
lament over your bruises but be thank
ful that no bones are broken. If you
can't afford roast beef and plum pudding,
eat your codfish joyfully, and bless your
stars for the indigestion and dyspepsia
you thereby escape. But the moment
you begin to groan over your troubles
and count up your calamities, you may
as well throw yourself over the docks and
be done with it. The luckiest fellow that
ever lived might have woes enough if he
set himself seriously to work hunting
them up. They are like invisible specks
of dust—you don't see them until you
put on your spectacles. But then it is
not worth while to put on your spectacles
to discover what is a great deal better let
alone.
'Don't get discouraged, little wifel Life
is not long enough to spend in inflaming
your eyes or in reddening your nose be
cause the pudding won't bake, and your
husband says the new shirts you worked
over so long "set like meal Wgs." Make
another pudding—begin the shirts anew.
Don't fall " down in the mouth" because
dust will settle and clothes will wear out,
and crockery will get broken. Being a
woman don't procure you an exception
from trouble and care; light the battle of
life as well as your husband, for it will
never do to give up without a bold strug
gle. Take things as they come, good and
bad together, and whenever you feel in
clined to cry, just change your mind and
laugh. Keep the horrors at arm's length;
never turn a blessing round to see if it
has got a dark side to it, and always take
it for granted that things are blessings
until they prove to be something else.
Never allow yourself to get discouraged,
and you'll find the world a pretty com
fortable sort of a place after all.
