Beneath the quaint old bridge yon bear The waves make music as they pais; And, winding to the elm tree near, Yon sue the pathway through the grass. Where we were wont to walk, K ! The river wanders, as of old m Beneath the shade or willow trees; The sunlit waters gleam like gold. And ripple to the gentle breexe; But I am far from thee and these. The sky bends over broad aud blue, And, In the soft and mellow light, Yuu tread the Une onr footsteps knew, In former days, when days were bright; Do these days bring such swaat dellghtt And still that lane with grass is green; With fragrant flowers the banks are fair; In golden gloss and silver theen The bees still haunt the balmy air; But yon will fall to find me there. Again, perchance, I may not see The rustling rows of wlUow trees (Which lent a leafy canopy When we strolled underneath at ease:) For I am far from thee and these ! Our joys forsake us. Soon does sprln g Pass by and for the summer call; Soon do the birds lose heart to ting, When fading leaves In, autumn fall; And winter Is the end of all. COXQCERIXU A IUSBAXD. There were people enough to envj Millicent Ilaughton when she w8 married to Radcliffe Gates. She was only a district school teacher, at so much a month, without home or parents. He was a wealthy banker, who seemed to have nothing on earth to do but to indulge his whims and caprices to their uttermost bent, and the would in general announced its diction that Milly Ilaughton "had done uncommonly well for herself." But Milly did not look happy upon that goMen July morning, with the uuushine streaming through the oriel win iow of the great breakfast room at Gates' Place, and scattering little drops of gold and crimson and glow ing purple on the mossy ground of the stone colored carpet. She was dresaed in a loose cambric wrapper, looped, and buttoned with blue, and a single pearl arrow upheld the shiuing masses of lovely auburn hair. Her eyes were deep, liquid, hazel ; her complying as soft and radient as the dimpled Bide of an early peach ; and the little kid-slippered foot that patted the velvet ot toman beneath was as perfect and ts tapering as a sculptor could have wished it. . Mr. Gates, from his side of the damask-draped table, eyed her with complacent gaze of proprietorship. She was bis wife. He liked her to look well just as he wantad his horses properly groomed and his conserva torya kept in order; and he troubled himself very little about the shadow on her brow. "I'm in earnest, Radcliffe!" Bhe said with emphasis. "So I supposed, Mrs. Gates," said the husband, leisurely folding his paper a sign that the news within were thoroughly exhausted "so I supposed. But it isn't at all worth while to allow yourself to get excit ed. When 1 say a thing, Mrs. Gates, I generally mean it. And I repeat if you need money for any sensible or necessary purpose, I shall be most willing and happy to accommodate you." . Millicent bit ber full red lower lip. and drummed impatiently on the table with her ten restless fingers. "And I am to come meekly implor ing you for every five cent piece 1 happen to want)"' "Yes, Mrs. Gates if you prefer to put the matter in that light" "Radcliffe," she coaxed, suddenly changing her tone, "do give rue an allowance I don't care how little ! Don't subject me to the humiliation of pleading for a little money half a dozen times a day. lou are rich." "Exactly, my dear," nodded this Benedict; "and that's the way I made my fortune, by looking personally af ter every penny, and 1 mean to keep it up." "But think how I was mortified yesterday, when Mrs. Armour came to ask me if I could subscribe fifty cents towards buying a band car riage for our washwoman's lame child only fifty cents and I had to say, '1 must ask my husband to give me money when he returns from the city 1' for I had not even fifty cents of my own." "All very right all very proper !" said "Mr. Gates, playing with the huge rope of gold that bung across his chest in the guise of a watch chain "Other ladies are not kept penni less!" "That rests entirely between them and their husbands, Mrs. Gates." "I will not endure it," cried Milly, starting to her feet with cheeks dyed scarlet and indignantly glittering eyes. Mr. Gates leaned back in his chair with provoking complacency. "I will have money!" said Milly defiantly. "How are you going to get it, my dear ?" retorted her spouse with an aggravating smile playing around the corners of bis mouth. "You have nothing of your own absolute ly nothing. The money is all mine and I mean to keep it!" Milly sat down again, twisting her pocket handkerchief around and around. She was not prepared with an immediate answer. "And now, Mrs. Gates," said the banker, after a moment of two of overwhelming silence, "if you'll ie good enough to stitch that button On my glove, I'll go down town. I have already wasted too much time." So the verbal passage-at-arms end ed, i nd Milly felt that, so far, she was worsted. She watched Mr. Gates drive off in an elegant open barouche, drawn by two long-tailed chestnut horses, all a glitter with plated harness, and timed away, almost wishing that she was Milicent Ilaughton once againe, behind ber desk in the little red school house. She looked around at the inlaid furniture, Aubusson carpets and satin window draperies, and thought, with a passionate pang, bow little all this availed her. "It's so provoking of Radcliffe !" she murmured. "I've half a mind to go out to service, or dressmaking, or something for I must have mon ey of my own, and I will!" Just then a servant knocked at the door with a basket and a note. "An old lady in a Shaker bonnet ESTABLISHED, 183 PA., WEDNESDAY, and a one-horse wagon left it," said the girl, with a scarcely disguised titter. "She wouldn't come in, al though I invited her." Mrs. Gates opened the note. It ran, in a stiff, old-fashioned , cali graphy, as if the pen were an un wonted implement jn the writers baud: lhar MiUy : ' The strawberries in the south mediler lot are just ripe, where you used to pick 'em when you were a little gal ; so Penelope picked a lot, and we, make bold to send them to you, for the sake of old times, as aunt Araminta is going to the city to-morrow. We hope you will like them. Affectionately your friend. . . '.: M. A. PXABODY." The tears sparkled in the bride's eyes. For an instant it seemed to her as if she were . a merry child again, picking strawberries in the golden rain of July1 sunshine, with the scent of wild roses on the air, and the gurgle of the little trout stream close by. And as she lifted the lid of the great basket of crimson, luscious fruit, and inhaled the de licious perfume, a sudden idea darted into her head. ' - " ' ' "Now I will have money of my own !" she cried out "money that I will earn myself, and thus be inde pendent 1" Half an hour afterwards, Mrs. Gates came down stairs, to the infi bite amazement otRachael, thecbam nermaid, and Louisa, the parlor maid, in a brown gingham dress, a white pique sun-bonnet, and a basket on ber arm. "Won't you have the carriage, ma'am ?" asked the latter, as Mrs. Gates beckoned to a passing omnibus. "No, I won't!" said the banker's lady." : And within the city limits she aligbted.and began work in good earnest "Strawberries!" "who'll boy my wild strawberries!" rang out her, clear, shrill voice, as she walked along lightly balancing the weight on her arm, and enjoying the masque rade as only a spirited young woman can. Mrs. Powler bought four quarts for preserving, at twenty-five cent a quart. "Wild berries 'as such a fiavorl" said the old lady, reflectively, "And 'taint often you get 'em here in the city, I s'pose yoi don't come round reg'lar young woman ?" "No, I don't ma'ma." "Because you might get some good customers," said Mrs. Powler. Miss Seninthia Hall, who keeps boarders, purchased two quarts, Mrs. Capuia Carbery took one ; and then Millicent jumped on the cars and rode wearily down town. "I've got a dollar and seventy-five cents of my own now, at all events," said she to herself. "Strawberries! Nice ripe, wild strawberries ! Buy my strawberries I" Her sweet voice resounded through the balls of the great marble building, on whose first lloor the great bank was situated. It chanced to be a dall iuterval of business just then, and the cashier looked up with a yawn. "I say, Bill James," said he to the youngest clerk, "I have an idea that a few strawberries wouldn't go bad ly. Call in the woman !" Billy, nothing loth, slipped off his stool with a pen behind each ear, and scampered out into the ball. So Milly sold another quart As she was giving change for the cashier's dollar bill the president himself came in.bustling and brisk as usual. "h? What? How!" barked out Mr. Radcliffe Gates. "Strawberries J Well, I don't care if I take a few myself- Here young woman, how do you sell them J" Milly pushed back her sunbonnet, and executed a sweeping courte&y. "Twenty-five cents a quart, sir if you please," purred she, with much humility. The president dropped his pape of strawberries on the floor. "Mrs. Gates!" he ejaculated. "The same, sir," said Millicent "May I venture to inquire " "Oh, yes !" said Milly. "You may inquire as much as you please. I needed a little . money, and I am earning it See how much I have already !" and she triumphantly dis played her roll of crumpled stamps. "The strawberries were all my own, sent to me this morning by old Mrs. Peabody, and I'm selling them to get an income of my own." "You, ma'ma, selling strawberries through the streets ?" i Milly made a second courtesy. "Extreme necessities justify ex treme measures, Mr. Gates," said she saucily. "I earned my own living before I saw you, and I can again." Mr. Radcliff Gates looked uneasily around at the crowd of gaping clerks. "James," Baid he, "call me a hack. My dear, let me take you home." "Not until I have sold the rest of my straberrie8," saucily retorted the young wife. "I'll take 'cm at any price J" im patiently exclaimed the banker. ' "Cash down ?" "Yes; anything, everything only come out of this crowd." So Mr. and Mrs. Gales went home; and that evening the banker agreed to make his wife a regular allowance of so much per week, to be paid down every Monday morning at the break fast table. "But we'll have no more selling strawberries," said Mr. Gates ner vously. "To be sure Dot," said Milly. "All I wanted was a little money of my own." And Mr. Radcliffe Gates respected his wife all the more because she bad conquored bim in a fair battle. The Btraag-L for WcsUtb. No one can settle down in a Euro' pean city or village for a month, and observe the laboring classes, without noticing a great difference between their aspirations, ambitions, and hab its, and those of corresponding class es in this country. He may see great poverty in a continental town, and men and women laboring severely and fairing meanly, and a hopeless gap existing between classes ; he may see the poor virtually the slaves of 7, OCTQBER 14. 1874. the rich; but he will witness a measure of contentment, and a daily participation in humble pleasures to which bis eyes have been strangers at borne. There is a sad side to this pleasant picture. Much of this ap parent contentment and enjoyment undoubtedly cmues from the hopeless ness, of the struggle for anything bet ter. An impassable gulf exiats be twiea them and the educated and aristocratic classes a gulf which they have recognized from their birth ; and, having recognized this, they have recognized their own im itations, and adapted themselves to them. Seeing just what they can do and cannot do, they very rationally undertake to get out of life just what their condition renders attainable. There is no far-off, crowning good for them to aim at, so they try to get ffbat they can do on the way. They make much of fete days, and social gatherings, and music, and do what they can to sweeten their daily toil, which they know must continue while the power to labor lasts. In America it is different A hum ble backwoodsman sits in the presi dential chair, or did sit there but recently ; a tailor takes the highest honor of the nation; a canal driver becomes a powerful millionaire; a humble clerk becomes a merchant prince, absorbing the labor and sup plying the wants cf tens of thousands. In city, state and national politics, hundreds and thousands may be counu J of those who, by enterprise, and self-culture and self-assertion, have raised themselves from the humbler position to influence and place. There is no impassable gulf between the low and the high. Every man holds the ballot, and therefore, every man is a person of political power and importance. The ways of business enterprise are many, and the rewards of succeess are mu nificent Not a year, nor indeed, a month, passes by, that does no illus trate the comparative ease with which poor men win wealth and ac quire power. The consequence is that all but the wholly brutal are after some great good that lies beyond their years of toil. The European always expects to be a tenant; the Ameiican intends before he dies to own the house he lives in. If city prices forbid this, he goes to the suburbs for a home. The European knows that life and labor are cheap, and that he cannot hope to win by them the wealth which will realize for him the dream of future ease ; the American finds bis labor dear, and its rewards com paratively bountiful, so that bis dream of wealth is a rational one. He there fore, denies himself, worts early and late, and bends bis energies, and directs those of his family into profi table channels ; and for the great good that becons him on from the far off, golden future. The typical American never lives in the present If he indulges in a recreation, it is only for health's sake, and at long intervals, or in great emergencies. He does not waste money on pleasure, and does not ap prove of those who do so. He lives in a constant fever of hope and ex pectation, or grows sour with hope deferred or blank disappointment. Out of it all grows the worship of wealth and that demoralization which 'results in unscrupulousness concerning the methods of its acquir ment So America presents the ano maly of a laboring class with unpre cedent prosperity and privileges, and unexampled discontent and discom fort There is surely something better than this. There is something better than a life long sacrifice of content and enjoyment for a possible weaitb, which, however, may never be ac quired, and which has not the pow er, when won, to yield its owner the boon which he expects it to purshase. To with-hold from the frugal wife the gown she desires, to deny her the journey which would do so much to break up the monotony of her home life, to rear children in mean ways, to shut away from the family life a thousand social pleasures, to relin quish all amusements that have a cost attached to them, for wealth which may or may not come when the family life is broken np forever Burely this is neither sound enterprise nor wise economy. We would not have the American laborer, farmer and mechanic become imprudent, but we would very much like to see them happier than they are, by resort to the daily social enjoyments that are always ready to their hand. Nature is Btrong in the young,and they will have society and play of some sort It should remain strong in them until it is expelled by the absorbing aud subordinating passion for gain. Something ot the Old World fond ness for play, and daily or weekly in dulgence in it, should become habit ual among our workers. Toil would be sweeter, if there was a reward at the end of it; work would be gentler when usedas the means for securing a pleasure which stands closer than an old age of ease ; character would be softer and richer and more child like, when acquired among genial, every-day delights. The all-subordinating strife for weaitb, carried cn with fearful struggles and constant self-denials, makes us petty, irritable and hard. When the whole Ameri can people have learned that a dol lar's worth of pure pleasure is worth more tb ah a dollar's worth of any thing else ; that working is not living, but only the means by which which we win a living; that money is good for nothing except for what it brings of comfort and culture; and that we live not in the future, but the present, they will be a happy people hap pier and better than they have been. "The morrow shall take thought for the things of itself," may riot be an ecceptcd maxin in political economy, but it was uttered by the wisest be ing that ever lived in the world, whose mission it was to make men both good and happy.

Keep Tear Proeaf a. A boy borrowed a tool from a car penter, promising to return it at night Before evening he was sent away on an errand and did not return until iate. Before he went, be was told that his brother should see the arti cle returned. After be had come home aud goue to bed, he inquired, and found that the tool bad not been sent to its owner. He was much distressed to think his promise had not been kept, but was persuaded to go to sleep, and rise early and carry it home the next morning. By daylight he was up, and no where was the tool to be found. After a long and fruitless search, he set off for his neighbor's io great dis tress, to acknowledge his fault But how great was his surprise to find the tool on his neighbor's door stone! And then it appeared from the print of his little bare feet in the mud, that the lad bad got up in his .sleep and carried the tool home, and gone to bed again without knowing it. . Of course a boy who wa3 prompt in iiis sleep was prompt when awake. He lived respected, had the confi dence of bis neighbors, and was placed in many offices of trust and j profit Ifall the grown tolUfelt astnis boy did, there would be a good many tracks of bare feet fouud some of these bright mornings ; and what piles of tools and books would be found lying at their owners' doors! Phrenologi cal Journal. TxncnttoKldr. In the first lesson the boy or girl should not be allowed to take hold of the bridle at all. A good example in this respect is presented by the" prac tice of professional circus riaers. Their children, boys and girls, com mence their series of equestrian edu cation at about ten years of age, under the instructions of a strict, sometimes a very severe teacher. I have had the advantage at the Agricultural Hall of watching the whole course of instructions of the children of profes sional circus riders, from day to day, from the first elementary lesson to the finishing touches of lehaute ecole. The circus children are of course taught to ride entirely by balance. The lessons are given in the circus ring, on a pony trained to canter at an even pace. Sometimes a soft pad is used, sometimes the animal is bare backed; but in either case, until the pupil3 are far advanced, they are not allowed any bridle The poney is fastened down with flap-rein3, the inner rein that is, the rein near to the inside of tho circle being' buck led shorter than the outer rein, so that it can only canter slowly, while the teacher restrains the pony with a lunging-rein, and urges it when necessary with a driving whip. The child, whether boy or girl, com mences by riding astride, is taught to sit in an upright, easy position, just like the Greek equestrian statues in the Greek Court at the Crystal Palace, with the shoulders well thrown back, each hand resting on each knee, or with the arms crossed over the breast. Thus no trick of holding on by the bridle or leaning forward over the pommel can be ac quired. A Motber'n Holy I-ve. The excitement that existed in Philadelphia concerning the case of tbe kidnapped child extended to all classes and every mother was so wrought up upon the subject that she could hardly be induced to per mit her children to go out of her sight! Gillespie lives on Tenth street, in the same house with Mrs. Magin nis. He moved a few days ago, and Mrs. Maginnishad not had an oppor tunity to become acquainted with him. " He is very near sighted, and when he came home the other after noon be thought he saw his boy play ing in the gutter, and he approached the youngster with the intent to pick him up and carry him into tbe house. The fact, however, was that it was Airs. Magginnis' boy, and that esti mable woman was watching him with one eye, while the other one rested upon the second story window, which she was washing. When she saw Gillespie seize the child she knew at once that the kid napper had come, and as Gillespie walked off with tho booty under his arm, a red haired woman in a condi tion of frantic excitement, might have been ueen shooting down staris and through tbe front door with the velocity of light Gillespie discov ered his mistake just as he caught Bight of the infuriated Maginnis ap proaching him, and apprehending trouble, dropped the child ond ran. By tbe time they had gone around the block twice, Gillespie had not only Mrs. Maginnis and fcix police men at his heels, 1,800 other people and half a hundred dogs. At last he darted up an alley and endeavored to jump over hia back fence, but just as he reached the top the avenging Maginnis arrived and caught him by the legs, and before he could explain himself the policemen had hammered him considerably, and four of the dogs had bitten chops out of his legs. He is in bed yet, and will probably not be around again until the bumps subside and the dog bites heal. When he does get out again he will wear glasses. Max Adler. There is a railway agent at Hagers town, Maryland, who would proba bly like to resign. Tbe "Southern Circus and Menagerie" came to that place upon a freight train tbe other day, and as the proprietors could not pay the charges for tranportation, the cars were seized by the agent and switched off upon a siding, where they have remained ever since. Up on tbe agent, Mr. Way, devolves the duty of feeding the elephants, tigers, hyenas and boa-constrictors, and they had alrendy eaten up considerably more than the amount cf his claim, while as all the children in the vil lage congregated about the menage rie every evening, Mr. Way Is oblig ed to spend his spare moments to keep the zoological collection from devouring tbe spectators and making tbe company liable for damages. The situation of tbe man who held the tiger by the tail, and was afraid to let go, was cheeiful in comparison with this. NO. 17 Keeping llama. Farmers' families are often troub led ajxint how to-keep hams in the summer time. We have tried a good many ways, and have always failed in keeping them nicely. The smoke house, though bidden away in among tbe apple-trees that lay tneir limbs lovingly over, above, and around it, is still too warm; the wide, roomy, cellar too damp, and the shop, though cool and airy, being the large third story of the "old house," is tbo light A good neighbor, who knows all about it, tells me that he always packs away bama in the early spring time, before the flies come, in a pox with all the interstices between the hams filled up with some coarse, dry salt, that he ha? used for many years, for the same purpose; salt that came out of fish barrels.

He would have been an angel to-day but for the deceit of this false-hearted world. He wasn't one ot a set ot triplets, and therefore didn't have honors showered down upon him in his early days, but old women said there was foundation there for an orator, a great general or a philoso pher, and old woman examined his head and said it was level. Nothing particular happened to Christopher Columbus until the eighth year of his reign. His childhood days were full of mud pies, the butt-end of shingles, paregoric, castor oil, and old straw Lata with tbe front brim worn off. He was a deep thinker and a close observer Tor a small boy, and he was just innocent enough to believe things which other boys pitched out of the windows without second thought When Christopher was going on nine years old he heard some one say that "a penny saved was worth two nence earned." He therefore laid a big Bungtown away in a crack un der the mob-board, and every day he looked to see it grow to two cents. He had confidence and patience, but at length both gave way. lhen he got the cent out one day. and Mrs. Norton's baby swallowed it, and that wa3 the last of that Bung- town. Tbe youthful Christopher din't believe in maxims quite as much as before, but he didn't cut his eye- teeth yet. - When this boy was a year older he heard it said that "truth ia mighty and must pre vaiL" and that a boy that always spoke the truth would make a great an 4 good man. He commenced to tell tbe truth. One day he got bis father's best razor out and hacked it on a stone, and when tbe old gent came home and asked who in blazes had done that, Chris- tonher Columbus spoke up and said: "It was I, father I notched your razor." "You did, eh?" sneered the old maa as he looked up into the peach tree; "well, I'll fix you so you won't never notch another razor for mer And he cut a budding limb and he dressed that boy down until the boy saw stars. That night Christopher Columbus determined never to tell the truth again unless by accident, and all through life he stuck to the resolution. When the lad was about twelve years old he read in a little book that "honesty was the best of policy." He didn't more than half believe it, but thought he'd try. He went to being honest One day his mother sent him to tbe grocery to buy eggs, and Bill Jones induced him to squan der the change for soda wa'er. When be got home his mother asked him for the little balance, and Chris topher explained. "Spent it for soda, eh?" she replied. "Here your poor old mother is work ing like a slave, and you are around swilling down soda-water! I don't think you'll swill any more, I don't! come over my right knee." And she agitated him in the liveli est manner. That night as he turned on his downy straw bed the boy made op his mind that honesty didn't pay, and he resolved to cheat the whole world if he could. When Christopher was half a year older he came across the injunction: "Be kind to the poor." He did not know whether it would pay or not but he set about it He knew a poor woman who sadly needed a spring bonnet, and he took over his mother's, along with a few other things, includ ing bis father's second pair of boots, his own Sunday shoes, and so on. He went around feeling very big hearted until the old gent wanted to go to the lodge one night, and then it came out. "Gin away my boots, eh?" inquir ed the 'ather: ' lugged your mother's best bonnet off, eh? Well, 1 don't think you'll remember the poor very much after to-night." And be pounded Cbristooher Co lumbus with a pump-handle until the boy fainted away, and even then hej didn't feel as if lie naa inaue thoough job of it. 5 They fooled this boy once more. He heard a rich man say that every body should "make bay while the sun shon." So when there came a i sunny day he went out, took hisj father's scythe down from the plumj tree and went to making hay. He broke the scythe, cut down tne turnips and backed his sifter in the heel, and his mother came out and led him around by the bair and bounced bim until be ajmost went in to a decline. Tbey couldn't bam boozle that boy after that. He grew .vb,i .rv Har of his life, and be fore tbe eighteenth birthday arrived he was hung for murder.

But it is now known that the harm comes not from a tree but from gaa of some sort in its neighborhood. A California paper says: About one-nail a rune over a moun tain from Bartlett Springs there is what is called a Gas bpring. This is probable the 'greatest curiosity of the mountains. The water i9 ice-cold, but bubling and foaming as if it boil ed; and the greatest wonder ia the inevitable destruction of life produc ed by inhaling the gas. No living thing is to be found within a circuit of r hundred yards near this spring. The very birds, if they happen to fly over it drop dead. We experimented with a lizard on its destructive properties by holding it a few feet above the water. It stretched dead in two minutes. It will kill a human being in twenty minutes. We stood over it five minutes, when a dull, heavy aching sensation crept over us, and our eyes began to swim. The gas which es capes here is the rankest kind of car bonic acid, hence its sure destruction of life, alio, quenching of flame in stantaneously. Fnll a ret) la Baaiaesa.
