THICKS OF BEGGARS.
ri'MIE ingenuity practiced by profess
I ionnl beggars, to obtain n livelihood,
is really surprising, lu New York tl.cfe
arc clandestine schools where children nre
taught tlio rudiments pertaining to this
profession. Thov arc placed under tho
immediate care of experienced persons un
til they have acquired sufficient confi
dence to make their own way in public.
The arts of tho professional beggar arc
many.
and
very curious.
A stout, middle-aged person, for sever
al successive years appeared in Broadway
under the disguise of an old, broken down
man. lie was very lame ; misery was
depleted in Ins countenance; lie was
shockingly clad ; spoko with a feeble and
trembling voice, and appeared to be in
tho greatest destitution. This man re
ceived alms in abundance, and seldom
made less than five or six dollars a day.
About five o'clock he would hobble away
from the scene of his labors, and disap
pear very mysteriously until the following
day lie frequently changed his locality,
and traversed Wall street and other noted
localities, and almost always with great
success. Occasionally, charitable indi
viduals endeavored to obtain some insight
into his history ; but his language was so
broken, and his voice so feeble, that it
was impossible to understand anything he
said, lie was regarded with great coin
passion, and the police seldom disturbed
him in bis daily rounds.
This man was at last secretly followed
by a gentleman who had long noticed his
peculiar manner and habits, lie was
tracked to a vile part of the town, in the
neighborhood of Baxter street, and was
seen to enter one of tho sijalid abodes in
that vicinity. By dint of persistence,
and the free use of money, the gentleman
who led the pursuit was able to secure
the services of a hard featured woman,
who occupied apartments in the same
building, and he was thus able to cautious
ly observe the movemcuts of the beggar.
It appears he went there, old, decrepid,
and miserable, to come forth from the
building entirely rejuvenated. This
house was a mere halting place, where he
changed his clothes. Where he went,
after he left for the night was unknown
to the wretched acquaintances of the
slums. All they knew was that ho was
not what ho appeared to be to the public
at large ; that he came there early in the
day to put on the habiliments of his
swindling profession, and that at night he
returned to change them for better appar
el. The gentleman was now more than
ever determined to fathom the beggar's
secret; but it required several weeks of
cautious effort before his labors were
crowucd with success.
The beggar was naturally suspicious of
being tracked, and he had recourse to va
rious plans to euiao pursuit, Prom tiie
wretched abode at the Fivo points, he
walked very briskly up town, turned ma
ny sharp corners, looked about him watch
fully, plunged boldly into one of the ho
tels on his route, mingled with the crowd
a few moments, and then rapidly walked
away. lie occupied luxurious apartments
in the vicinity of Blcecker street, and al
most nightly visited some place of public
amusement, lie was rich, and dressed
luxuriously. Attcr a while he apprecia
ted tho lact that there were persons who
had discovered his secret, and ho soon
disappeared altogether from public view.
All large commercial towns in Europe
and this country are infested with what
are known us army and navy beggars,
Experienced persons can sometimes de
tect the shrewdest impostor. An En
glish gentleman, named llalliday, relates
an occurrence that came under his own
observation. He was walking with a
friend who had spent tho earlier part of
his life at sea, when a " bogus sailor"
shuffled up to them. They had just been
conversing on nautical affairs, and Mr.
llalliday said to his friend : " Here is a
brother sailor in distress ; of course you
will give him something ?" "Ilea sail
or," said the friend, with great disgust ;
" did you see. hira spit t Mr.
answered, " Yes." " He spits
ward," coutinued the friend.
llalliday
to wind
" What
"A real
of that?" inquired llalliday.
sailor never spits windward. It is a reg
ular landman s trick.
A professional beggar studies character
and appearances very carefully. His
manners and speech are very ofteu as per
fect, to sustain his part, as the proficien
cy of the best actors on the stage. Ma
ny women beggars expose miserable, ema
ciated infants and young children to tho
public gaze, and thereby excite great
sympathy. It is known to many persons
that these children are starved, and oth
wise cruelly treated, on purposo to render
the situation the more likely to excite
sympathy.
These are a few of the deceptions prac
ticed by sonic of the most successful of
our,. female impostors, many of whom
have an abuudancc of this world's goods.
Cashmere Shawls.
Q IIAWLS arc said to have bceen first
tO manufactured in Thibet Persia, and
India, where they have been made and
worn from the earliest period of t ime of
which we have any authentic record. The
Cashmere shawlof Thibet is the most beau
tiful production of the far East, and no
European country has yet been able to
manufacture shawls that will compare
with them, either in richness, fineness or
delicacy. The real Cashmere shawls arc
made from tho soft-down or under fleece
of a diminutive goat, of graceful form,
that has its homo amid the vast solitudes
of the Himalaya Mountains. This goat
is also provided with an outside coat of
heavy hair, and is consequently well pro
tected from tho extreme cold of this ele
vated region. Here the goat is found in
the company of the deer and other ani
mals, and here she browses on the sweet
and delicate pasturage of the sou of lhib
et. This rich herbage is grown on thin
soil, and it is said that tho moisture of tho
mountains never imparts rankness to its
growth.
That tho purity of the waters of tho
Ilydaspes, and the unexcelled quality of
the herbage are indispensable to the shawl
goat of Thibet, is proven by the fact that
wherever he has been transplanted, he
has undergone various modifications at
each remove, and in every instance de
generates. In some countries he is de
prived of his hair; in others, he loses the
whole or part of his fleece, but in all, the
essential fineness of his undercoat is
wanting, and becomes more or less harsh,
as the climate or pasturage effect him.
In Thibet, the looms on which the
shawls Ure woven, are of the most primi
tive construction , and the labor is per
formed by miserable artisans, who receive
barely Sufficient wages to keep them from
actual starvation. Yet these wretched
workmen are possessed with intense en
thusiasm for their employment, and deft
ly and patiently weave scarfs and shawls,
such as have never been produced in any
other section of the globe.
Three hundred years of trial have fail
ed to produce a fabric that equals the
genuine Cashmere, and we shall probably
never witness the manufacture of an ar
ticle that will rival the original in beauty
or excellence.
A New View of Things.
,4 GOOD story is told of a colored
J member elect of the Virginia A s-
sembly, who, being nearly white, was able
to pass at the leading Washington hotels
for a Cuban. Here his official position
brought him in contact with hungry
Virginian politicians who treated him
with considerable deference, and were
careful to say nothing of his African ori
gin. About this time an old Virginia
Judgo came along and recognized in the
supposed Cuban one of his former slaves
and he, in turn, recognizing tho Judge,
addressed linn lamiliarly. -the old Judge
was lurious at his presumption, saying
"You impudent nigger, you, I don't
want your acquaintance." Oh, but you
may need my services, J udge, said the
humble legislator. " No, I will die first,"
replied the Judge, growiug more irate at
tho presumption ot las ex-slave. Just
here one of the J udge's friends, who was
familiar with all tho facts whispered in
in Ills ear, that tho negro was a member
of tho Assembly of Virginia, and that as
the Judge was a candidate for a dis
trict judgeship which, under tho new
constitution of Virginia is made elective
by the assembly it might bo as well for
him to treat the darkey civily, with
view of getting his vote. The Judge's
demeanor toward the darkey was sudden
ly changed. When he had dispelled the
late " unpleasantness sufficiently to ad
mit of the proposition, the Judge said,
looking directly at the negro assemblyman
" Gentlemen, supposo we all co up to
my room and take a drink."

Just Such Neighbors.
A:
MAN stopping at a tavern for rest
nnd refreshment, began talking
about his journey. He camo from a
neighboring town; be was moving away,
and glad enough to get away too. Such
a set of neighbors as ho had there, un
kind, disobliging, cross, and contrary, it
was enough to make nnyono want to leave
the place, and he started, and was going
to settle in another region where lie could
find a different set of inhabitants.
" Well," said the landlord, " you will
iind inst such neighbors where you arc
The next night another man stopped
at the inn. He, too, was on a journey,
was moving. On inquiry it was found
that he came from the mmr. place from
which the former traveller had comc.-
Ile said he had been obliged to move from
where he lived, and ho did not mind mov
ing so much as he did leaving his neigh
bors; they were so kind, considerate, ac
commodating, and generous, that he felt
very sorrowful at the thought of leaving
them and going among strangers, especial'
ly as ho could not tell what kind of neigh
bors he would find.
" 0, well," said the landlord, you will
find lust such neighbors where you are
going.
Does it not seem possible that men wil
generally find about such neighbors as
they nre looking for ? Some people are
always in trouble, others, " follow peace
with all men. no knows but we can
have just about such neighbors as we
wish tor, simply bv treating them as we
might to."
Our Destiny.
TT cannot bo that earth is man's only
B abiding place. It cannot bo that our
life is a bubble cast up by the ocean of
eternity to float a moment upon its waves
and sink into nothingness. Else why is
it that the high and glorious aspirations
hieh leap like angels from the temple of
our hearts arc forever wandering unsatis
fied ? Why is it that tho rainbow and
louds come over us with a beauty that
is not of earth, and then pass off to leave
us to muse on their loveliness ? Why is
it that the stars which " hold their festi-
al around the midnight thrones" are not
above the grasp of our limited faculties
forever mockiug us with their unap
proachable glory ? And finally, why is
it that bright forms of human beauty are
presented to our view and taken from us,
caving the thousand streams ot ouraftec-
tion to flow back like Alpine torrents up
on the heart ? We are born to a higher
destiny than of earth. . There is a realm
where the rainbows never tade, where the
stars will spread out before us like the
islands that slumber on tho ocean, and
where the beautiful beings which pass be
fore us like shadows will stay in our pres
ence forever. Prentice.
k Story for Lawyers.
The' Valley on the Ilackensnck con
tains still a certain number of old people
descendants of the old Holland settlers,
pcoplo who will speak Dutch in their
homes, and who are reported to jog on
faithfully adhering to old styles of liv
ing and old ideas.
One of these " Old Dutchmen," as they
are irreverently called, riding on the
Northern Ilailroad tho other day, noticed
at Englewood a handsome carriago, and
asked a gentleman sitting not far from
him, a well-known New York lawyer,
whoso it was.
" It belongs to Colonel Bank," replied
the lawyer.
" Ho must bo a rich man, observed
the settler.
" Yes," replied the lawyer, " he is a
rich man, and a good honest man, too."
" Ah ?"
" He is a broker and banker,"
" A broker," said the old man with
surprise, " a banker and a broker, and an
honest man?"
" O, yes," replied tho lawyer, " there
are honest bankers and brokers."
" Well," said the old man, in a doubt
ing voice, " 1 dunno bout it: l class cm

SUNDAY READING.
A Boy's Faith.
y ten years old, a bright half-dollar
was given him by his grandfather to buy
any tlung lie pleased tor a iNew I car s
present. The boy's mother that morn
ing taught him the verso : " He that
givcth to the poor lendeth unto the Lord ;
and that which lie hath given will repay
him again." Tho words were running
in the boy's mind on his way to the store
to purchase a toy be had seen in tho win
dow of a shop on the previous day.
J uht before L harlic reached the store
bo met a poor woman, who bad some
times done washing for his mother, and
she seemed to be in great distress.
What is the matter, Hannah?" 6aid
this kind-hearted child.
O, Master Charley, I've got to be
turned into tho street this cold morning,
and my little Hill so sick, too !"
" Turned into the street you and Bill
what for ?"
" Because I can't raiso my weekly rent.
I've just been to see my landlord, and he
says it's three days overdue, and lie'll not
wait another day. There go the men to
put my bed and stove and a few other
things on the sidewalk. Oh, what shall
I do'!"
" How much is your rent, Hannah ?"
asked the boy, with a choking voice.
" It's half a dollar," said the woman.
" It will kill Bill to put him out in the
cold and sure I will die with him."
" No, you won't ! No, you shan't !"
said the tender-hearted child ; and feel
ing in his pocket, brought forth his treas
ured half dollar, and placed it quickly in
her hands. Seeing she hesitated to keep
it, notwithstanding her great need, Char
ley told her it was all his own, to spend
as ho pleased, and that he would rather
give it to her than have the nicest toy in
the store. Then walking away swiftly from
the shop windows which were full of
tempting New Year's presents, he went
bravely home to his mother, sure of ap
probation. The first person he met was his grand
father. Ho bad observed Charlie go
dowu the street, and waited for his re
turn, that he might see what he had got.
So his first salutation was :
" Well, child what have you douo with
your money ?"
Now Charlie's grandfather was not a
religious man, and tho boy knew, that
though be sometimes gave his money to
his relations, he seldom or never bestow
ed it upon the poor, so ho rather disliked
to tell him what he had douo with the
money ; but while he hesitated, tho verso
which he had learned that morning camo
into his mind, and helped him to answer.
Looking pleasantly into his grandfather's
lace, he said :
" I've lent it, sir."
" Lent your half dollar, foolish boy ?
You'll never get it again, I know."
' O, yes, I shall, graudpa ; for I'vo got
a Dronuso to pay.'
" l ou mean a note, 1 suppose : but it
isn't worth a cent."
" O, yes, graudpa, it is perfectly good,
am perfectly sure about it, for it's in
the Bible."
You mean you have put it there for
safe keeping, eh f Let me see it.
Charley brought forth tho book and
le showed him the verso : " He that
hath pity on tho poor lendeth unto the
Lord, and that which he hath given will
he pay him back again."
' So you gave your money to some
poor scamp ? Well, you'll never see it
again. Who has got it, pray 7"
i gave it to Hannah Green, sir; ana
Charlie told him the sad story.
" Fudge !" said his grandfather ; 'you
can't pay poor folks' rent. It's all non
sense. And now you have lost your New
Year's present or will if I don't make
it up to you. " Here," ho added as he
threw him another half dollar, " seeing
your money is gone where you'll never
see it again, I must give you some more,
I suppose."
" O, thank you," said Charlie, heartily.
T Vnnnr tlm T ,nn1 would nnv ma hack
again, grandpa, because tho Bible says so
but I didn't expect to get it so quick."
" That boy s too much tor me, saul
