THE RAU-PICKEK'N I.IK. AC Y.
P.Y P.l !. I'LL" ME.
Id the vear 18 , a man wasaccus
toractl to w.-2(le" about tbe streets of
I ,piekia: up scraps of iron
ami pieces of rope, which he placed
in a hug that ho carried slunjr areos.s
his shoulder-?. He was a catirc of
Portugal, and his name wa3 Jote
Eimhre. The man was supposed to
he re;y poor, nud the v.Tetched little
frai.ia dwelling that he inhabited at
the western suburbs of the city, was
sj oloomy and uninviting, that the
children from the neighboring school
always pas.-ed on the other sido of
e street, and never could be in
duced to peep in at the door.
The place had been toe seeno of a
tragedy. Sofce lawless characters
once bad a drunken orgic there, and
during a quarrel one of there number
was murdered. For: years the house
stood tenantless, and it was not un
til Jose Rimbre rented it, that the
bats and rats were driven from its
alls. -
Rimbre lived alone, and as he ap
peared to have no friends, the house
was seldom visited, save by the po
lice, who occasionally looked in as
ihey passed by, and spoke a good
Word to the solitary inhabitant.
He was never under suspicion from
the authorities, for he wa3 very inof
fensive, and known to be extremely
poor. All day long he would prowl
about the streets with his bag and
hook, but when the the shades of
evcaing fell, he would hasten to his
home, aud closing his door, be seen no
more.
The neighbors who bad o'jiirvea"
his habits, were one day surprised to
see Jose cuter his house at noon.
Never before had the t.ld man re
turned so soon. Some few of the
people mentioned the fact to others,
but us the circumstances were ex
tremely trivial, the matter was al
most instantly dismissed from their
minds. Could the have peeped into
the cheerless room where Jose seated
himself, they would perhaps have
held their breath ia astonishment at
the sight that would have awaited
them. Seated upon the floor was the
old man, with a heap of gold pieces
between his leg, and he was careful
ly counting them as he placed them in
a bag.
J osc Rimbre had done a good day ' s
work in the lew hours he had spent
at his avocation that morning. While
tie was poking at a pile of ashe3 and
garbage, he turned up something
with a hook that gave a peculiar
rattling sound, and the eld fellow im
mediately began an investigation.
The result was a bag of gold. When
and by whom it was deposited there,
he never took the pains to inquire, or
had the curiosity to discover. Into
his bag he placed the treasure, and
then he hastened to his home.
Late that night, by the aid of a
dim candle, he dug a hole in the cel
lar, aud, placing a large tin kettle in
it, he concealed his bag of gold there,
and then Dlled up the earth again.
Alter that Jose did cot remain from
his home so long as had been his
wont. His style of living, however,
never changed; he was still poor and
wretched, and the coals he burned in
his little stove were picked from
the deposits made ia the lanes and
by streets.
The man who owned the shanty
where Rimbre lived wa3 repu'ed to
be quite well o2F and had a great deal
of property, consisting of small
houses, which every few years actu
ally paid for themselves in rents. The
landlord's name was Mania Joyner,
and the poor held him in terror when
he came to collect his rents, and they
happened to be a little short. Jose
Rimbre was one of the best tenants, j
He bad never been a day behind with
his rent, aud Martin Joyner was
pleased, or. feigned to be" pleased,
whenever he visited Rimbre or met
him upon the streets.
In uis early days Joyner had been
a bard-working man, but of late years
he had.discovcred a way of making
money without toil, and ever since he
had been practicing it. He had an
only son, a young man of eighteen
years, who had engaged as a clerk in
a mercantile house, and bade fair to
become a uselul and prosperous man.
Woodley Joyner had never known
the influence of a mother's love. She
who bore him died when he yet was
an infant. A sour-tempered maiden
aunt came to live with his father, but
so Cercely did Martin and bis sister-in-law
quarrel, that, when Woodiey
was live years old, his aunt departed
from the house in a passion and never
returned to it; so the child was left to
tbe tender guidance of the father,
whose nature was coarse, and habits
rude.
Despite ail these disadvantages,
Wood!ey grew up a gentle and man
ly boy, and when he was fourteen
years of age. he attracted the atten
tion of Mr. Yordley, a mo. chant, who
took him into his employ, and gave
him opportunities to acquire on edu
cation. There was no congeniality
between father and son; there could
be note, for their natures were so
dissimilar. Woodier visited his fath
er but rarely, and whenever he did so
became away with unpleasant recol
lections. " -
Once w hen Woodley visited Iiis

father, bo met Jose Rimbre at the
door as he was loiving tho house.
"Who is that f trange-looking per
son?" he inquired.
"One of my tenants," replied his
father. "By the way," he continued,
"you may give me some cdvicc. I
scarcely know how to net. This man
wishes to lease the house he lives in
for a period of five years. What
would you do about it?"
Woodley asked bis father the loca
tion, and then said:
'T should imagine that property
the least remunerative of any you
possess. It is scarcely Ct for human
being to live ia, and I wonder that
any olc should desire to make it a
home. If it wcro mine, I think I
should considor it rare good luck to
have such on offer."
"Had ns the place is," answered
his father, "it pays mc better than
some people would imagine. The
occupant is a foreigner. These fel
lows care little how ihey live, and I
have found that they pay their rent
more punctually than our own peo
ple." "Then why d ) youhesitate," a.-k-ed
the sou.
"V.'ell, you see, Roberts, the black
smith, has more than once given me
to understand that he wishes to en
large his shop, and this property,
which joins his smithy, is what he
rajuires, Should I give Rimbre a
lease, aud Roberts concludes to buy,
I shall have to pay my tenant to v.i
cate the premises. That I don't cart
to do."
"Rut suppose Roberts don't con
clude to purchase?" as-kctl Wood
ley. '"That's it," replied his fuher,
"then Rimbre may move and I'll lose
a good paying tenant."
"You can't have a cherry an 1 eat
it too," said Woodley with a laugh.
"1 don't think I'll let him have a
lease, at least not yet," replied tiie
father. t
The conversation now turned to
othe topics.
"You have saved some money, I
suppose," said the father. "What do
you propose to follow whoa you bo
come of age?"
"I shall remain with Mr. Yardlev,"
replied Woodley.
His father gave a shorr, dry cough,
and looked at him curiously. "I'm
afrai i you'il be mistaken there," he
said, after a few moments. "Now
I'm going to tell you something, but
I do not expect you to mention it.
This morning 1 had business with
my agent, corners. He's a sharp
fellow, and knows all that is occur
ring among moneyed people. He
told me confidentially that Mr. Yard
ley's house was shakey, and that he
believed there was a catastrophe im
pending." . , ... v.-
AVeoUley turned pale. '"I did not
know that such a suspicion had be
come public," he replied. "We were
threatened with financial dilliculty,
but I am glad to say the trouble is
over. Mr. Yardley will go along
smoothly enough cow.''
Woodley was mistaken; before, a
fortnight had elapsed, the house o!
Yardley was no more, and he was a
young man in search ol employment.
Martiu Joyner did not oiler his
son a home; the most he did was to
advise him to go to work witnout de
lay. Scarcely a ra. nth later, and Martin
Joyner became involved by a con
tract he had undertaken, and his
property was levied cn and sold at
sheriff's sale.
Jose Rimbre purchased the prop
erty where he lived for a mere song,
and Martin Joyner was wandering
about abusing fate, and quarreling
with every one who would give him
a chance.
Poor Woodley was grieved at his
father's loss.
"Come with me, father," he said'
I'll share my room and bed with
you."
The clTer was oeceptcd without
thauks, and Martin even took the
money that his son had saved from
his earnings, and spent it at the ale
house. Still Woodley did Dot com
plain, and haped continually for bet
ter times.
The elder Joyner, soured by disap
pointment, and half-crazed by misfor
tune, became very abusive to his son.
All that Woodley coald do to prevent
his father from drinking he did hilt
without effect. At length the poor
fellow began to grow melancholy.
One evening, as he was going
home, he saw a gronp of young men
nt tbe corner of tho street, and heard
a cry for succor. Dashing up to the
spot, he gaw a couple of men" iu the
act of maltreating a man whem they
had knocked almos senseless.
His strong arm sent both the ruf
fians headlong to tbe earth, and
the police appearing, they made their
escape.
The man whom Woodley had res
cued wa3 Jose Rimbre. lie had re
ceived seme siriotis injuries, and
Woodley saw him to his home. A?
the old man laid himself upon the b.-d
be pressed his hand to his side and
complained of a pain he experienced.
"I wish you would allow me to
send for a physician," said Woodley.
"No no," replied Rimbre, " ?tis un
necessary. J snail no octter soon.
and lowering his voice he added, "I
shall not forget yc.ur kindness."
"Don't mention it," said oouley.
"I am glad I bave been of service ti
you. t an I be ct cny lurtuer assis
tance bt lore 1 leave.' 1 wi:! cail and
see you to-morrcw."
The old man paused a few mo
ments before he replied, and gazing
into Woodlej's face, said, "I thick I
can trust you." Then fumbling in
his pockets Lc took out a greasy card,
and banding it to him continued: "If
you call at this address, and ask for
a young gin. named .Mane, you win
oblige me. Tell ber teat Jose Ivim-
bre wishes to see her, but say noth
ing further, not a word aboct my ac
cident, do you understand?"
Promising to observe his injunc
tions, Woodley left aed proceeded to
fulfill the instructions he had received.
The house where he found the girl
was abont a quarter of a mile from ;
Rimbre's house. The girl in question
answered his knock, and Woodley
was surprised at her exceeding beau
ty. Delivering his message he stnrt
cd for hisTodging room, whero he
found bis father, in a very bad humor.
Everything had gone wrong with
Martin Joyner that day, and he was

ready to vent his ill-humor on the
first person that came in his way.
Woodley related what bad occurred
to Rimbre.
"You were a fool to trouble your
self in the matter," said his father.
"It was my duty," replied tho
son.
"Duty?"' rejoined his father.
"Your first duty is to me. Endeav
or to find some employment, that you
may assist your father; after that it
will bo proper enough to help street
pickers." "I never lost a day in seeking em

"but everything seems against mc,

earn my bread."

Woodley went to his trunk and
brought the money, which he placed
iu the father's hands. The following
d:iy Martin Joyner left the city
without saying good-by to his son.
Three weeks went bv, and Jose
Rimbre had been rrcttinj worse. A i
physician, sent by Woodley, shook
his head doubtfully v. hen akcd if the
old man would recover.
One day, when Woodley was viait
iag Rimbre, the door opened, and
tin1 girl named Marie appeared. She
pr v ed to be Rimbre's daughter, and
wic profuse ia her expressions of
gratitude to her father's protector.
"My father is very poor, as you
Well know, sir," she said; "so poor,
that he would not permit mc to live
with him. I have supported myself
by dress-making."
Something stirred Woodley's heart,
and made it palpitate. Mario Rim
bre was very beautiful; but why
should a poor fellow liko himself
think of love? A few months before
he would not have believed it possi
ble that a young man liko himself
could fail to lind employment. The
bitter trial had proved to him how
much he wa3 mitaken.
Day by day Marie
himself sat by Jose's
ere thev had known
Rimbre
and
and
bed-side,
each other a
week, they loved. Jose had watched
the two with keen eyes, and the sight
appeared to givo him satisfaction.
One day, when hi3 strength revived
more than usual, he called his daugh
ter to his side.
"You love our friend," he said.
The giil hung her head.
"How can poor people marry?"
aked Rimbre.
"Woodley will Had employment

si.r father smllcil and drew her
towards him.
"I have alwavs been a kind father
to you I believe," he said.
"Yes you have done more than, iu
justice to Your own necessities, you
were :.b!e to do." replied his daugh
ter.
"I shall not be lon with you, my
child," continued the eld man; "but
before I go would see you happy.
Does Woodley come to day?"
Before she could reply, the person
ia question made his appearance.
Leave mc alone with our friend
for a few momr.uts," said her father.
"I would speak with him."
When Marie was recalled ttierc
was a (lushed look in Woodley's face,
and a nervousness in his manner.
He spoke a few words to Marie,
who appeared agitated as she listened;
then he hurried away. An hour
later a clergyman came to the poor
dwelling of Jose Rimbre, nnd mar
ried Woodley aud Marie ia the
presence of the dying man, Marie
had no idea that her lather was so
i.l: his rallvin? enerary had deceived
her.
"fctocp low," said Ivimbre to
Woodley, who placed his ear to the
pillow.
While Jose was speakinrr, Wood
ley's face became white and scarlet
by turns. Rimbre had odIv time to
give his son-in-law his final injunc
tions ere he posse! from -earth.
The day the grave closed over the
body of J ose Rimbre, Woodley Joy
ner went to the cellar of the house,
spade ia hand. His wife awaited him
above in the room where she saw
her father die. After awhile he re-
aiineared. bearing a heavy 1a? of
gold, which he laid at bis wife's
foot.
" 'Tis yours." he siid.
'My poor, poor father!" she sighed;
"all these vears he suffered such pri
vations to provide for his child."
"May his memory enable us to as

Woodley and his wife started for

Where tUoj Come From.
You'll bo shocked, I fear, when I
tell you that your doll came out of a
rag-bag, the curls from the back of a
goat, and her elegant china tea-set
out of a mud hole.
But what wi.l you say when I tell
you that ycur jelly is made out of
old boots, and your delightful per
fumery from horrid smelling coal
tar?
You don't know all the made-over
things in the family, cither. John
ny's new beaver cloth overcoat was
worn out on the back of a berrcrar.

It it is really- wonderful to trace
things back, and see where they come
from, and who has reason to boast cf
his ancestors, uueer stones you
would hear if the things around you
could ttll their history. There's your
tatting shuttle. It once made itself
useful as a bone iu t horse, while the
ivory dice in the backgammon board
adorned the jaws and crushed the
oats of another of the race.
The pearl of your paper knife lined
ihe shell house of a modest little
creature at the bottom of the sea,
while my mamma's shell comb was
the comfortable roof over a sea tor
toise. Your guitar strings were indispen
sable to the internal comfort cf some
poor pussy or unfortunate sheep, aud
your piauo would be but a dumb
woodea box, without some of the in
ternal arrangements of a horse.
Your nice hair brush first saw the
light on the skin of a hog, and its
pretty back papier mache came out
of tho rag-man's bag. The crinoline
tjat stiffens the bottom of ladies'
dresses was used originally to switch
the flies from the back of a horse,
and the mattress on which you sleep
so curatorial!! v served the same use
before it fell into the manufacture's
hands.
Your dainty toilet soap dear me,
how caa I tell you was made of
dead cats and dogs, found in the
streets, and the "bitter almonds";
which so delightfully flavors your can-!
dy, came from the horrible-smelling
coal tar while the choicest ale is deli
ciously flavored with putrid cheese.
The scent bag of that offensive
creature, the skunk, furnishes some
desirable additiou3 to the toilet table,
used for removing freckles and tan,
and the dreadful stuiT left ia drains is
changed iato a fashionable toilet ar
ticle, and adorns the face of ladies.

what dreadful chemical process; and
the dead cats aad dogs are boiled to
extract the grease, purified, whiten
ed aad perfumed before we see them
as soap.
The doll whose ancestors inhabit
ed a ragman's den endured many un
heard of operations of washing, soak
ing, bleaching, ch pping, molding,
and so forth, before she took her place
in the nursery to amuse the little
folks, and the clay from the mud
hole was washeM, and purified, and
whitened, and kneaded, and baked
and glazed, before it ventured to call
itself china, and take it3 place on the
tea-table.
The horse taiLj that stiffen the

baked, before we use them, and the
intestines which riake the voice of

processes of scraping and soakingin

drawn out into the fine tough strings
you are familiar with.
The rat skia which we eat under
the name of gelatin, first flourished
as the thumb of a kid glove, and af

Mr. Cooper is one of my srt -t

Drilling corn, i. c., raising it ia
continuous rows about :il feet apart,
and a stalk'oneo in about six inches
in the row, undoubtedly gives more
corn and more states to the acre thaa
planting ia hills three feet apart ea-.h
war, for the very simnle reason that
it is practicable to raise more p.ants
; in drills than ia hills. If the plants
are six inches apart, we will have a?
many on an acre as we would if we
planted seven kernels in hills. Seven
j kernels are too many ia one hill; but
j when six iu.Le.s opart ia rows, the
i roots have a much better chance to
j fiad food, particularly during the
I early growth of the rrp, and this is
j important. Where ti.e land is in
