A SKETCH FROM LIFE•
BY JAMES H. PERKINS
It's a desolate place, that suburb of Fulton. Of
a cold, dark evening, when the easterly wind draws
down the valleys, andthe clouds drift by with a
snow-pit now and then, I know-not of a more des
olate place on the earth. The long Front street of
Cincinnati, which runs by the nver side, and fol
lows the vagaries of tile Stream, at length draws
close under the hills, and melts into the single ave
nue which forms the thoroughtires of the suburb
city of Fulton. in front; rolls the turbid Ohio, be
hind rise the precipitous hills, whence clay aval
anches forever !noiseless slide, pressing houses and
stores hourly forward, forward like an inexorable
fate.
Slowly, wearily thrOugh the mud of that single
thoroughfare, now on planks, now on the railway
which runs in the midst of the street, now on the
curb-stone of some intended, but never completed
sidewalk, the straight, soldier-like form of Ferdi.:
nand Spalding glanaed amid the increasing snow
as he struggled, after a long day's work, to
seek the material of mare work. On his left' lay
ship-yards, with their ribs of future leviathians•glis
ten ing •in the ghostly snow-light. Hill-pressed
houses, nodding in tipsy reverie, uncertain when to
tumble, glowered on his right. Before him,lhe lo
comotive, filling the street with its black-white
breath, and turning the snow-flakes to grains of
gold with his fiery eye, came screaming, crushing
onward. But Ferdinand saw not the silent spectral
form around him, heard not the shriek of the mon
ster that drew near. The voiceful electricity which
overhead was carrying on the chit-chat of men a
thousand miles apart, had no interest for him at
that mompnt. He bad left hungry children, a tire
less hearth, a sick wife behind him ;"and his soul,
commonly as free from care as a bird's was for a
while howedtdown. Slowly, wearily, Ferdinand
has passed by the embryo steamers, the grating saw
mills, the chipping, splinting, planing machines,
the subterranean rolling mills, where half clad,
brawny men struggle forever with red hot serpents
of iron, and has entered the city, as street alter
suect becomes conscious of gas,
It was the same snow-spitting evening, two men
longer in conversation than usual, still sat over the
stove-store in Main street. The gloomy night grew
darker, and still they talked.
" I give freely," said the younger, buttoning his
sack coat over a somewhat corpulent person, and
drawing himself up with an air of satisfaction
'. For my means, Doctor Stiles, I give freely. I
know the watatslof the poor, sir. Lhave visited the
per. Illy wife, your niece, sir, does .nothing but
mother theuf. ,I give freely, but never blindly,
Deacon Stiles; timer blindly."
The elder, who had been sitting, doubled up,
with his small, quiet eyes fixed upon the stove,
suddenly opened those eyes to double dimensions,
laughed in a supernaturally noiselessly manner,
and, turning his cud, repeated, It Never blindly,
never blindly, Reuben—freely; I know it, but nev
er blindly"—and to chuckled again likelt spectre.
" There ankmen in business," said Reuben, ern
phaticallytedding his head, " who do as well as 1
do, and buy real estate out of their profits, and who
give nothing Inthi suffering. , I know the men; I
can put my finger on thew dtitere give to every
be ; they make beggars. They nes beggar
breeders, sir. They ought to be fined, taxed, to
support the paupers they bring on us. to thistonn.

Reuben's mind seeritedlisFdly
gumeni of which his carapin" ion gave the heady,*
he went back to his own experieni3es.
"My neighbor, next door hem haat theory that
a great many can be helped best by .toitking.thein
loans, giving them credit, and so on. Ii s all non
sense. He makes beggars. Such fellows need to
be dealt with strictly. Make them'pay for what
they buy, pay cash, drags the way to make- therm
active, thriving, prompt."
At this moment the door opened, and the same
soldier4ike person that we saw coming &magi' the
mire of Fulton, enteral, Wok off his straw Intl , hew
ed stiffly, and asked if f. the proprietor" was in.
Reuben coming forward as such, the inquiry was
made for red flannel. "I am usually a purchaser
from your neighbor," said Spalding, "but hi% is
closed. I have an order, which Muskbe completed
to-morrow noon, or I shall not be entitled to my '
pay ; and I must work till past midnight to Com
plete it." As he said this, his lip trembled, and his
eye swam. Reuben turned to present his goods,
when the other stopped him, - and said, painfully, it
seemed, but resolutely, "If I buy, sir, lcanrrotpay
you till to-morrow, when I she* receive payment
myself."
Reuben looked at the Deacon and smiled.. " Did
I not tell you so? My neighbor makes be^svars,
doesn't he, Deacon 7" •
" I am no sir," saidSpaldin,, half amaz
ed, half angry. •
" I spoke to this gentleman," replied Reuben,
as he took his chair agaiu. " I have no flannel to
sell you, my friend."
The stiff bow was repented, the straw bat replac
ed", and the cashless purchaser passed out once
More into the storm. lie tried one or two other
stores, but to no purpose ; so making up his marl
to come at early dawn, to his usual place of pur
chase, fie turned to 'time' , his steps over the deso
late path he had so lately trodden in vain.
" My neighbor makes b eg gars," repeated Reu
ben, as the door. closed. The deacon, who tad
watched the countenance, manner and voiceefSpal•
ding, with his half shut eyes, laughed in his soul,
and said to his companion, in a queer, confidential
wuy, as though the store had been filled. with peo
ple, Wrong, Reuben ; honest—works hard—seen
ballet times." •
Reuben would have gone into ad argument to
prove that he was right ; but the Deacon, !tasking
witlinoiselese mirth, stopped him with "No talk,
no talk; minds me want flannel myself. Cash
here."
The young tradesman laughed heartily at the
idea of requiring the rich old Deacon to pay cash,
but nevertheless took the money and the two soon
Parted. Reuben returned to listen, over his chops
and young bzson, to his wife's account of the poor
she had been mothering, that day; while the old
man, who lived near Columbia, got into his wagon
and began the perilunkjearney through the heights
and depths, the broken pavements and immeasu
rable mud-boles of tbe same pathway which Spal
cling was pursuing on foot. Deacon Stiles knew
rely well that Spalding was pursuing it, he knew
where be lived, bad inquired into his condition,
had sent him, or rather his wife, cur comers; and
this dismal evening, as he passed the weary walk
er, though he looked closely at him he did not stop
as one might have supposed he would, to take him
op, but drove quietly by, and left the straw hat to
catch the snow-flakes at its leisure. • Had Reuben
been there, he would certainly have said, " Wrong,
Deacon." Perhaps the oli Man thought so; for his
bead shook as if palsy-stricken with the laughter
that filled him, as en earthquake might some gray
old continent.-
Round d fireless fireplace stood fear shivering
children. In their midst, on his knee, a fifth was
trying to kindle some wet chips that be had just
brought from the ship-yard, as he returned from his
day' i s work at the bagging factory. On the bed lay
the mother, a, new-born infant, and a little girl
with the quinsy. Of the two boys and to girls, who
stood about the firelbuiMer, but one had on shoes
—it was the smallest, not two years old. A pile
of red flannel shirts lay upon the bureau. The
room was clean,.and bad there been a fire, would
have been quite cheerful, with its white curtains
and engravingi. Oyer the mantle hung a portrait
of the I oke of Wellington, and above it, the sword
of an English officer.
The fire kindles, goes out again; once more it
lights op, and the little solemn faces around it glis
ten, and ball smile ; but the wet drops a second
time to extinguish their
~hopes.
" It's too bard on yoti o lcihn," said the pale moth
er, faintly, " after your twelve hour's barer." .
" Make it go yet, mother," answered John, with
a tone that was a perfiretchallengetod.,

step was heani.:.lli‘'docor was opened; the chil
d= eprarig to meet him ; heembraced them with
a mournful Ewe; but their hearts were so bright
that their eyes were din?, and they lay in his coun
tenance rethrefed thirjoy that iiparitie'd in their own.
"And who was it that brought your flannel," said
the mothe, "and what does 013 dollar meant" r
" Flannel ! dollar !" cried Ferdinand, with amaze
ment. The articles were shown him, but there was
no end of wondering. The cry still was, " Who
could the strange man be I"
However the dollar was used, and John ate his
dinner in company.
Long after those merry eyes were closed and
those cheerful voices silenced, Ferdinand was at
Work. The sick child turned and moaned and be
gave it drink, and it, ton, slept at length Hs beat
up his wile's pillow, walked the uneasy infant to
rest, and is the intervals, and after all were lost to
this world's blab, his needle was busy. It was a
strange sight doubtless, to any ghosts that fistiered
through Fulton that night—this old soldier of the
Peninsular making flannel _shirts on the banks of
the Ohio.
Spalding had come to America with a emnpe
fence. He had bought a farm in Ohio, had been
ruined by Merino sheep and endorsements. Giv
ing op everything, he came to Cincinnati, whelp
he knew one man ; that man was on hisileath-bed,
and could not aid him. For months he bad sought
in vain for employment; he knew no *one; his
manner was abrupt, his pride strong; and but k.r
some sewing which his Wife was doing, they might
all have starved or bed. When john got into
the taming factory. if ; Was a help bat when—the
wife was prematurely confined in the salsa of a
contract which she had taken, and the pay for
which depended on the exact completion of her
work upon - a specified day, all seemed lost. Bat
Ferdinand was I mad of resource; as a soldier be
had used the needle, and now used it again.
By noon the next day the shirts were placed be
fore the employer, and with a straw hat in hand,
the Englishman awaited his payment—oixpencefur
each skirl, beyond the cost of material. With mic
roscopic eyes the contractor examined the 'fiches;
he detected the man's hand.
" Worn do : wont do. Who made these 11
" My wife part. I part."
" Thought so, thought so. Can't have them. Poor
trash'," replied the storekeeper. "11l give you the
coat of the material, not a cent mare."
"My wife is sick ; we are starving. Take her's,
they are well made," cried the unhappy substitute.
" All or none. Cost cf mateijal or nothing. Keep
them, find a market if you can."
Too proud . to chafer; in debt for the flannel ;
wholly unused to such scenes, Spalding took the
offer of the human vempyre, and with a heart sick
against his knows, aria hall rebellious against his
God, turned away.
.He paid the merchant' who had trusted biro for
most of his materials. The remainder oldie money
and the remanent of flannel left from his last piece,
he laid away until the owner should appear.
And now hope a series of rectifies, selkieniala,
and sufferings, which we dire not attempt to des
cribe. Every saleable article was sold, except the
sword and portrait of Wellington. John's wages
were reserved for rent. The money due the strange
visitor of the snowy night lay in the drawer, bit no
one thought of touching it. At Ism an oiler was
made of some work, if a peculiar material could be
' bad. Ferdinand went to his old fiend; he had now;
there was none, he :troth; in town unless at Reu

"110 you must go, Reuben; you must go, Uncle

"Ah! well my love, well ! Deacon Stiles, well!

gibe poor! Does be visit the poor! He's a rich
man v a fine man, Uncle Stiles; but a title careful,
1 think, my love—a little close ;hardly g i ves like
some of us," and Reuben laughed happily. He
thought partly of his own free-giving, partly of the
unencumbered property ofhis wife's bachelor uncle.
This same old bachelor, after his visit to Spahl
ing's with the flannel, had been tied to his bed by
rheumatism ;-perhaps that hunt in the mow for the
shirtmaker's house had some hand in it. However
on the morning of the day we now write or, he bad
gat out again, arid, on his . way to town, had called
at the same house, with some work he had.tmosp•
ed up, to pay for the dollar he had given them.—
Heknocked at the doo-; no one came. A'second
and third knock were 'unanswered. He ventured
to lift the latch, and enter.
It was a bright morning, but the curtains of the
little apartment were all drawn - , mid aifirst hecould
see nothing. Then came to luaeyes a bed, and
by it were kneeling somirsobbingehildren. What
was Ou the bed ? lie cold net see. He drew
nearer. A sheet covered the. whole airtime of the
Ma mattress. With piotw bands gently :he folded
it Joint ; three forms mind asthe iM On the thres
hold lay there, side by side—a mother, an infant,
and a little girl of tire or six yearscilil—allto was
ted that it was terrible to look upon their henry
'faces. Shuddering, the old than turned brick the
shroud. He looked at kneeling children,, who had
at lust noticed him. They shook with Cold . ;* the
skin amraid their temples was' haltaranspamit;
their eyes seemed phosphoric in the twilight.
"Did you bring us some bread?" said little Mom.
The Whole hideous tneh, which be heir' from
him, afraid to think - it—came like a blow, upon the
old man's heart. Paint and staggering, he,hasten
ed to the nearest stove-scandalizing old Mrs. Strong,
who law him issue from the door, and told all her
neighbors, for twenty-four bouts how Demob Stiles,
,o, !.Columbia, had been up drinking with that buy
fedlopr; Spalding.
' Hebroaaghtisome food, begged some firewood,
caught the,fit# Women he knOw by the arm, and
draare4 her With him; and when the widowed
soldier, ha,tauf and heavy-eyed, opened his door
with his arm full of ship-yard chip, be found a fire
blazing on the earth, a pot simmering over it, the
pale-faced children nestling in its blaze, and the
Deacon doling out to them very small mouthfuls
of very dry bread, bidding them be careful to eat
slow, and masticate thoroughly"—a - direction
which resulted mainly in opening theirl ! sunken
eyes till they looked like four dvrtif spectres.
A few questions identified the present helper
with the friend of the slimy night. Little Mora,
indeed, had whispered twenty times that it weals).
A taw words explained the misery of the English
man. • The galas of the shirts for their cms, the ne
