WHEN YOU'RE DOWN.
Wh at legions of " friends" always bless us,
When golden success lights our way I
IIow they smile as they softly address us,
So cordial, good-humored and gay.
But O, when the sun of prosperity
Has set then how quickly they frown,
And cry out in tones of severity,
" Kick the tuun, don't you see lie is down !"
What though, when yon knew not a sorrow,
Your heart was as open as day,
And your 'friends,' when they wanted to borrow,
You'd oblige and ne'er ask them to "pay."
What though not a soul you e'er slighted,
As you wandered about through the town,
Your "friends" became very near-sighted,
And don't scum to see you when down.
When you're " up," you are loudly exalted,
And traders ull Bing out your praise,
When you're down you have greatly defaulted,
And they really "don't fancy your ways."
Your style was " tip-toe" when you'd money,
So sings every sucker and clown,
But now, 'tis exceedingly funny,
Things are altered "because you are down."
O, give me the heart that forever
Is free from the world's selfish rust,
And the soul whose high noble endeavor
la to raise fallen man from the dUBt ;
And when in adversity's ocean
A victim is likely to drown,
All hail to the friend whose devotion
Wlil lift up a man when he's "down."
THE UNEXPECTED RETURN.
A True Story.
JUST at tlie close of the Revolutionary
war there was Keen somewhere in
one of tho snlall towns of Central Massa
chusetts a ragged and forlorn looking
soldier coming up the dusty street. 11c
looked about on the cornfields tasseling
for the harvest; on the rich bright patch
es of wheat for the sickle, and ou the
green potato fields with curious eyes so
ut least thought Mr. Towne, who was
walking leisurely behind hiui, going home
from the reaping to his supper. The lat
ter was a stout firmer, dressed in home
made brown linen trousers, without sus
penders, vest or cout. The ragged sol
dier stopped uuder the shade of u great
sugar-uiaple, and Mr. Towuc, overtaking
him, stopped also.
" Home from the war ?" he asked.
"Just out of the British clutches,"
replied the man ; " I've been a prisoner
fcr years." lie replied suddenly. ''Can
you tell me who lives in the next house 'f
Is it yours '"
" No," replied Towne; Tompkins lives
there. That house and barn used to be
long to a comrade of yours, as I suppose,
his name was Jones, but he was shot at
Bunker Hill, and his widow married
again."
lhe soldier leaned against a tree.
" What kind of a man is he? I mean
what kind of people are they there ?
Would they be likely to let a poor soldier
have something to eat 1" '
" If Tompkins is out, you'd be treated
first rate there. Mrs. Tompkins is a nice
woman, but he is tho snarliest cur that
ever guawad a bone. He is a terribly
surly neighbor and he leads her a dog's
life. She missed it marrying that fellow,
but you see sho had a hard time of it
with tho farm after Jones. went off a sol
diering, and when my son came buck
and said he was dead he saw him bleed
ing to death on the battle field she broke
right down, and this Tompkins came
along and got into work for her, and he
laid himself out to. do first rate lie
somehow got on tho blind side of ua and
when ho offered himself to her, I advised
her to havo him, and I am sorry that I
did it. You had better come homo with
me. I always have a bit for any poor
fellow that's fought for his country."
"Thank you kiudly," returned the sol
dier, but Mrs. Tompkins is a distant a
sort of old acquaintance. The fact is I
used to know her husband, and guess I'll
call there."
Mr. Towne watched him as ho went
to tho door and knocked, aud saw that he
was admitted by Mrs. Tompkins. " Somo
old sweetheart of hers it may bo," said
Mr. Towne, nodding to himself, lie
comes too late, poor woman, nho has a
hard row to hoc now," when Mr. Towne
went to supper, aud wo will go ia with
the soldier.
''Could you give a poor soldier a
mouthful to eat '(" ho asked of the palo
and nervous woman who opened the
door. ,
" My husband docs not allow ino to
!)c Stilus, New Blnomficfo, )a.
give anything to Iravellers," she said;
I' but I always feel for the soldiers com
ing back, und I'll give you boihc supper,
if you won't bo long about it," and she
wiped her eyes with her blue and white
checked apron and set with alacrity about
providing refreshments for the poor man,
who had thrown himself into the nearest
chair with his head leaning on his breast,
seeming too tired even to remove his hat
from his face.
"I am glud to have you eat,nnd I would
not hurry you for anything," she said in
a frightened way, " but you'll eat quick
won't you ? for I expect every momcut
he will be in."
The man drew his chair to the table,
keeping his hat on his head as though
he belonged to the Society of Friends,
but that could not be, for the " Friends"
do not go to the wars. He ate heartily
of the bread and butter and cold nieut,
and how long he was sbout it I"
Mrs. Tompkins fidgeted. " Dear me,"
she said to herself, " if he only kuew,
he wouldn't be so cruel ns to let Tomp
kins come in and catch hiai here." She
went and looked from the window uneasi
ly, but. the soldier gave no token of his
meal coming to an end.
" Now he is pouring vinegar on the
cold cabbage and potatoes. I can't ask
him to take those away in his hand. O,
dear, how how slow he is ! hasn't the
man any teeth ? At last she said mildlv.
' I am very sorry to hurry you, sir, but
could you not let me spread some bread
aud butter, and cut some slices of meat
to take away with you. My husband will
use very abusive lang-ua.ge to you if he
nnns you here.
Before the soldier cjuld reply, foot
steps were heard on the door stone of the
back door and a man entered. He stoo
ped short, aud looked at the soldier as a
savage dog might look. Then he broke
out in a tone betwec.a a, savage growl aud
a roar.
" Hey-day, Mollie, a pretty piece of
business 1 What ha e I told you, time
and again, madam '( You'll find you had
better mind your master, and you, you
lazy, thieving vagabond , let mo see you
clear out of my housf, and off of my
laud a great deal quicker than you came
ou tne premises.
Ynur house and your land!" exclaim
ed the soldier, starting up suddenly ,crect,
tall aud dashing ofThis hat with a quick,
fiery gesture. His eyes flashed like
lightning, and his lips quivered with in
dignation as he confronted the astonished
lompkins. lhe latter was afraid of him
and his wife gave a suddeni shriek when
the soldier started to his fe et and flun;
off his hat, and had sunk trembling nnd
fainting in a chair, for sho recognized
linn.
" You hain't any busines.3 to interfere
between me and my wife," Haid Tomp
kius, cowed by the attitudo of tho sol
dier.
" Ynur wife !" exclaimed tie soldier,
with the very concentration of contempt
expressed in his voice, and pointing to
him with an indignant finger.
" Who are you ?" asked Toiu pkins with
an air ot effrontery.
" I am Hurry Jones, since you asked."
replied the soldier. " The owner of this
house and laud, which you will leave this
very hour I as for Molly," sof tuning ..his
tone as he turned to the woman, now sob
bing hysterically, "she shall choose be
tween us."
"O, Harry!" sobbed she, while Tomp
kins stood dumb with astonishment.
" Take me ! Save me !"
With a step ho was at her side, hold
ing her in his arms. " What do you
mean, treating this poor child ml Do
you think because she has no earthly pro
tector, that there was not a God in heav
en against you ?"
No man who is cruel to a woman is
ever truly brave, and Tompkius ulunk
away liko a beaten spaniel.
The next day had not passed away be
fore everybody in town knew that llarry
Jones had come home alive and well to
secure his much enduring, patient wife
from a worse constraint than that of Brit
ish prison, but what they all said, and
what Molly felt, I must leavo you to im
agine, for here tho legend ends.
The English Language.
There is no other spoken language so
cheap nnd expressive by telegraph as tho
English. So the electric wires are be
coming teachers of our mother tonguo in
foreign countries. Tho same amount
of information can be transmitted in fewer
English words than French, German
Itaiiau, or any other European language.
In Germany aud Holland, especially, it is
coming to bo a common thing to send
telegrams in English to Bavo expense and
insure precision.
An Exciting Raffle.
I WAS going tip the Mississippi in
184, Judge Underwood and Henry
Clay being on board.
" 1 hat s a tough crew from Natchez."
remarked the clerk, who cuuie upon the
deck ns we were about going below.
I tmv fl.iTT Vi.,fil nmt liirrli "
l"'v '"n"'
" Let's go and look ou for a while."
said the judge.
c went into the saloon where we
found two parties at play. At ono of tho
tables sat four men, about whom were
gathered a large number of lookers on,
and ns these proved to be the heavy play
ers, we joined the group of spectators.
1 lie game was twenty-deck poker, and
money was changing hanik) with startling
rapidity. One of the players, a middle
aged man, whose face showed but too
plainly the ravages of an excess that was
sapping his life, and who, I afterwards
learned, was a cotton-planter, had staked
his last dollar, and " called his opponent's
nana, tie held lour queens, against
which were laid down four kings. And
he was " broken." lie started to his feet
as though he would leave the table.
" Are ye dead-broke, colonel ?" asked
he ot the four kings.
" Yes to the last picayune."
"Give me yer note, and I'll lend ve.:
" No," replied the planter, with an
oath, " I can do better than that. " Where
is Wackman '("
" Here," answered a dark-visaged man.
" Bring the girl and boy here that 1
bought at Natchez. Hold on the game
just ono minute, gentleman, and I'll make
a raise."
The man went away and shortly re
turned, accompanied by the "girl and
buy." Said " girl" proved to be a bright
Mulatto woman of five-and-thirty, or
thereabout; and the " boy" was her sou.
The boy was not far from ten years of
age, with a face lighter in color than was
his mother's ; his features really hand
some. " Look here, gentlemen," said the plan
ter, rising, " here's as likely a pair, for a
girl and her brat, as you can scare up.
I paid eight hundred dollars for them.
Who'll give six?"
' Why not put 'eiu up separate ?" ask
ed one.
" 'Twon't do to put them up separate.
The gal has sworu that she will kill her
self if her boy is sold away from her ;
and her old master says she'll be sure to
keep her word. But don't you sec the
woman is worth more'n I ask for the pair.
Now, what d'ye say ? Who'll take 'em
at six hundred '("
The owner then waited a few seconds
without receiving an answer, and then
said :
" I must have the money, so here goes
for a rafilc. Twenty dollars a throw, aud
thirty chances for the pair. Come, gen
tlemen, let's see the color of your coin.
Them that buys first will throw first."
Hero was excitement as well as a
chance for profit. The three players at
the table took two chances each. Then
the spectators surged up, and twenty
chances were sold as fast as the planter
could take the money and write down the
names. Then came a lull. The planter
himself took two chances, whereupon his
three companions took each ono more.
Then three men in the crowd " doub
led up."
" Two more chances, gentlemen."
Clay whispered apart to the judge, and
then made his way to tho table, and
threw down his gold eaglets.
"What name?"
" Give it to the woman."
''Eh ! tho gal herself?"
" Yes. Give her a chance.'V
" All right. One chance for Ninette !"
Before the planter could call again.
Judge Underwood had placed twenty dol
lars upon tho table, saying, as ho did so :
" This is for the boy ."
" Good!" cried the owner of the prop
erty, " here's a chance for Tommy. And
that takes tho lot. Where's tho clerk '("
" Here !"
" Have you got blanks for that sort of
business '("
" Yes."
" Then won't ye fill up a bill of sale of
theso two Ninette and Tommy and
leave a place to put in tho namo of tho
wiuuer? Now for the dice, gentlemen."
Tho dice were brought on, and the
shaking commenced. There were three
dice, and each player was entitled to
threo throws. Of the first ten throws
thirty-six was tho highest number cast.
The eleveuth throw turned up forty
two. Then tho scores fell again till the
twenty-first throw, whon one of tho gauio
sters threw out forty-nine.
The crowd was now all excitement.
Forty-nine was hard to beat. Tho lowest
number that could be thrown was nine ;
and the highest fnine-?ixes,l wasfiftv four
ing what is called on average throw
about thirty onc-and-a-half. Of a hun
dred throws, the majority will fall below
uiirty-iwo.
Again the dice rattled in th? box n
the second gamester took his turn;
but this throw was a low tmt The
twenty eighth throw belonged to the clerk
of the boat, who had now returned with
tho bill of sale. He threw forty-nine,
tying the gamester.
" Come, Ninette ! It's your turn."
The woman started and quivered and
pressed her hand over her heart. Only
the groaning and the puffiing of the en
gine broke the stillness of the place.
" Will the gentleman who paid for the
chance throw for me?" she said, in a low.
inusical tone, earnest and imploring, and
of purest accent.
" Let your boy throw for you." return
ed Mr. Clay, who shrank from the ordeal.
" His luck should be better than mine."
Tommy came forward and took the box.
His mother's hands were clasped, and her
lips moved in prayer. The boy trembled
like an aspen. What a world of weal or
woe hung upon the fickle chance ! He
held in his hand the sealed book in which
was written the fate of his mother nrl
himself, and it was to be opened upon the
hazzard of a die !
He shook the box and turned it upon
the table. Three aces 1 A moment he
gazed upon the three single spots, and
then dropping the box he sank back, pale
and frightened,
"Shake again, Tommy," saidtheplan
ter. " It's no use, master. I can't getforty
nine." " But you've got your own chance, my
boy."
" Aye." cried tho judge. " That was
your mother's chance. Now throw for
for yourself throw for the chancel gave
you, brace up, and take heart, and may
Heaven help you !"
That was not an assembly of religious
ly inclined persons by any means; but
the fervent petition of the judge met
with a warm and impulsive response of
" Amen" from nearly all present.
Again the boy canie.forward and lifted
the box. His lips were tightly shut, and
the cold quivering of the limbs was hush
ed. The only sound in that saloon above
the deep breathing of the spectators, was
the clicking of the ivory cubes. .Pres
ently the first throw was made.
" Five five six, are sixteen I" an
nounced the planter, setting down the
figures.
The dice were gathered up and throwu
again.
" Six sixand five. " Good I That
is seventeen."
The boy was pale as death as he took
the box for the last throw, and his moth
er leaned against a stanchion for support.
At length, he threw ! and the book was
opened.
" Three sixes ! Eighteen ! and that's
fifty-one ! Tommy, my boy, you're a
trump ! Now, Mr. Clerk fill up the bill of
sale, and I'll sign it before these witness
es." The scene that followed can bettor be
imagined than described. The last time
I hoard from Judge Underwood, he was
alive and well, though long retired from
active life. Ninette was his housekeeper,
and Tommy is his trusted and trustful
henchman.
A Sharp Swindle.
A gentleman, the other day, went into
tho store of a Paris merchant followed by
a servant. The gentlemen, who wore
his right arm in a sling was taken for a
military pensioner, and the merchant
gladly placed before him such articles
as ho asked for. When ho came to settle
the account, however, he found ho had
not suHicient money, so he asked the mer
chant to write a note from his dictation
to his wife, which ho would send to his
hotel by his servant. Tho merchant un
suspiciously wroto as he was desired,
and ou a sheet bearing the name of the
firm, these words, " Send me immediately
by the bearer, two hundred thalers.
Yours, Robert." Ho smilingly closed up
the note with tho expression, " Ah, then,
we are namesakes." The servant took
tho note and soon returned with the re
quired sum.
Tho gentleman paid for his wares,
gave them to his servant to carry, and
went away. Some hours after, the wife
of tho merchant visited hira, and after
talking of sundry things, suddenly asked
him why ho had sent for tho two hun
dred thalers. Tho man was rendered
speechless with nstonisment when he saw
what a cheat had been played upon him.
