He a well, strong, prosperous, and therefore happy. The ride home was charming, and as the new horse took them th rough Chirnley Woods, with sure, fleet feet he felt that life was very bright, and as he thought of brother u a remarks about "weary burdens," "feet tired with much of life," he concluded that the aforesaid brother was not in the enjoyment of rehg ion. . John's wife at back in the car riage,. resting ber tired body and turning over in her mind the re marks her John had made at the meetine. "Bear ye one another's burdens," had leen the subject of the evening's talk, and John's speecn nad been lintned to with evident relifh. "Your husband hat the toot of the matter in him," aaid the pastor, as nhe passed out "I hope we fhall all take beed to his well timed words." "I think of hiring Tom Birch as a sort of spare hand and call boy gen erally. I find this hot weather takes the starch out of me," John said, as the horse trotted through the cool 11 ue grove, amid flickers of moon ight "Will you board him ?'' asked Ma ry Clark, in a constrained voice, with the memory of her hua'mnd's exhor tations till in tuiiid. "Of course. I want him evenings to take the horse when we come from meeting, or if I have taken a friend out It is rather hard to get to work directly one geU home." You are to hire him to bear some of your burdens," said Mary, ia the same hard voice. "Jut 60, wife. It stands me in hand to practice, if 1 preach ; don't you say so ?" "I do. I am glad you are to have help, as you a it, it id hard to go to work tne minute you get home. I have been footish enough to nave this ride spoiled by thinking of bread to mix, two b.isketa )( clothes to fold before I sleep, of the ironing to-morrow, and dinner to get for four hungry men, and baby to care for." "Don't crowd to-morrow'a burdens into this pleasant ride. And it seems to tne that it would be better to gel all your house ;work done befere meeting' time.'' J," ... .. "If I could but that is impossible ; milk to strain, dishes to wash, Ben ny and baby to put to bed all these duties come together and then I am tired enough to go to bed my self." "Take it easy, Mary, keep cool, avoid all the hot work you can." . "I wish I could have a girl, too, John!" rr - . . "Mother. Wed. to say girls were more hindrance' than. help. I guess you weald find them so, and then they waste and break more than their wages. I don't see how I can ' afford a girl. Do what you can, and leave come things undone ; that's the j way to work it, and John sat back j with' a satisfied' air,' and Mary' thought of ber husband's glowing words in the prayer meeting. - "I will do all I can," said Mary, in a weary voice. "What 1 am obliged to do is much beyond my steength. : The t hree - meals come near together, washing and ironing must be done, baby shall not be neg lected, and of coarse I must keep the clothes well mended." , '"One thing at a time is the way to think ofyour duties. Pick up all the comfort you can as you go along. I have made up my mind to do so in the future." . ... . "&0 I see, by your thinking of hav ing an extra hand." - "Yes. i see tnat I must take care of mv health for your sake and the children V - - 1 '" - - "Certainly," Mary answered, in a sarcastic tae,how thoughtful yon are for us!" '.. ' John made no further comment, but inwardly wished that . prayer meetings did Mary the good they had once, and wondered why his wife was so changed. "I am going with 'Squire Towne to see a reaper, he says he hardly wants to buy without my opinion." This was next day. John left his wife ironing, with the half sick baby sitting by the table in the company of an army of flies, and in suite of the borne scence, en joyed his ride along the pleasant road, well pleased to be seen so much with the . great men of the town. At supper time he came home with the new reaper behind the wagon. -"By taking two we made a hand some 4trhrg and, as I intended : to buy. one, l thonght.I ..might as well take it nowv" he .remarked, by way of explanation., "it will save time and strength and pay for itself in a year. Mary made no comment, but set ber teeth tightly together when she ' remembered that ah had asked in vain for something to make her own work; easier, i, 7; A sewing machine had been pro nounced "hurtful ; better have fewer changes of clothing than run a ma chine," John, had decided when the subject was discussed ; "a clothes wnner Wovld constantly be getting at of ecder. - To bring water into the house." would be just to spoil the water. .Nottua. alter all, like the have a pump in her day r 'at snotner need to sav ail men are selS&h, and I begin to think she was ricbt" Mary muttered as she went to the kitchen tor the plate of hot biscuit John was so fond of for his teal ' -. .

"A commonplace" life," she said, and she sighed, as she cleared away ,the tea dishes;' while John tilted back ia his arm chair on the cool, thfot with neighbor Joaetv . "Why donV you buy Widder Patch's cranberry raedder ?" asked Mr. Jones;. "it's going dirt cheap, and yoa cap afford it - The sum was named, figures that astonished Mary, and she was more trrrriaed when she beard her hus- "IvV a roiiKl t di it Iv'e jupt an uM lelt niiii in. ami. to tell thr 'truth, affair in the moiiev market are so squallv, I don't just know where to all it down.

The beautiful piano she had brought to the farm was never open ed, but looked like a gloomy racket in which was buried the poetry of life. The closed best parlor had long since assumed theerimnessand mus- tiiiess of country best parlors, of which in her girlhood she had made so much fun. John was a rich man, and in spite of his marriage vows and hid glow ing prayer meeting talk, was allow ing burdens grievous to be borne, to press on her shoulders, in order to "salt down" his dollars. Had she not the dutv to perform ? Ought she allow him to preach and never to practice? Had 6he not rights to be reepected ? which were not bv hr husband; fdr, she reas oned, if he allowed her to do what could be done by an ignorant Irish woman for 92 a week, then he rated her at that price. "Widder Patch has had a tough time ont. said neighbor Jones : she is going to the West'rd to Tom, if she sells the medder, and Jane is coing out to work, one s tried sew ing, but it don't agree with her, and Dr. hnow recommeuda housework as healthv business." "Tis healthy business," chimed in John. "Now inv wife is a good deal better than when I married her. Why, she never did a washing in her life until she came to the farm. 1 think washing and general house work is much better than piano play ing and reading." "o 1 say to the girls, who Jester me to iuv an organ, better plav on the wahhUiard, enough sight," was the elegant response. Are vou goin to huv the cran- Iwrry meadow, John ?" Mary asked, ms sne saw her hUKtmnd making preparations to go from home. "Yes -why 7' "Can you afford it?" "We shall have to figure a little closer in order to do it, but it is going chwtp." "liiu will have to give up Tom Birch, won't you, and do the chores vourself?"' "I haw thought of it, but Tom i poor, and to give him a home is n deed of charity. Xo, we will save some other way." How much do 'ou pay Tom, John ?" "Three dollars and his board And, by the way, he says you don't wash his clothed. Washing and men ding was in the bargain."

Throw ing open the windows to let in the soil summer air, with the baby in her lap, she sat down at her piano and began to play a song without words," a piece John had loved to hear when he used to visit her in her home, where she was a petted girl, j ; , , . .

No musical poetry, but rath er, sober prose, wherein washing. ironing, hard days at the churn. hours of cooking for hungry men, stood out before his mind s eve in contrast to the fair promises he had made the pretty girl he had won for his bride! Jane Patch came that evening, and at once took upon herself many of Mrs. Clark's cares, and no one greet ed her more cordially than the mas ter of the house. Nothing was ever said about In r coming, and loni iiirch did not go awav:soMary knew her hu-ihui l could well aflord the expense. bbetold me how she helptd to make one man thoughtful and un selfish, as we sat on her cool pi izzi one hot August night; and I was glad Unt one woman badrit enough to demand hernghu. If John Clark had been itoor, hid wife would have borne her burden in patience, but she had no runt to help make him selfish, and iudiffer cct to her health and comfort Some Steg-ro Superstitions. A correspondent of the Philadel phia Times thus writes from Atlan ta : Xo people on the globe cherish so many quaint and curious supersti tions as the dusky laborers on a Georgia, plantation.. Not long ago, while spending a fortnight in a vil lage near Atlanta, I walked into the office of the village physician and found the good old doctor critically examining a curious little package, which seemed to be composed whol ly of cords and cottou rags. He bade me take a seat and listened to the story of the mystic package, which was one of a series of similar episodes, interspersed through his professional career: One day an old colored man. who is a thrifty tenant on an adjoining Flan tain, -came to me for treatment prepared a simple remedy for his ills and he opened a time-worn ieath er pouch) to produce .my. fee when a email, ugouy wrapped parcel, no larger than a silver dollar, fell, un noticed Dy nun on the door. When he had gone I discovered it and laid it upon my table. After a few davs be returned, according, to my in structions, to renew bis prescription and I pointed out to him the dimin utive parcel ; His white eves ooened wider and bis lace was' the very picture of wonder and doubt as be stored it away carefully in the -hot torn of his inside coat pocket, from which he drew a lame, red handker chief, and again the precious charm was unconsciously landed in a pile of papers on my desk. I laid it away, determined, when alone to know its content. I knew there Was a custom among the negroes of carrying about their persons what they denominated s "charm bae" which havimr been ! carried concealed from all eyes save the owner's for a certain period of tune would possess sundry subtle Htencied, such as warding off dan ger, keeping away evil spirits and communicating a presentment of any approaching calamity. Evidently I had captured a "charm bag." I cut the cord that wrapped the exterior cover and found that the hidden treasure was yet securely enveloped in a scrap of calico. Removing this, the parcel presented the very same aspjet as before, and repeating the program my prize seemed to be com- posed oi a series oi ecceninc wrap- LKuu.v ,.rilin onlv hv a. fresh-' er color of the calico priut and '"""'-J J J - scarcely perceptible diminution in bulk until I reached the last wrapper that concealed the " secret of the African alchemist, and said the doc tor, unfolding a bit of cloth, "here it is." "What is it ?" I asked, inspecting a small collection of what appeared to be tin) bones and dried leaves. "Snake teeth, theee are, and those little bits of dried tissue are portions of some reptile's kin. But I am unable to classify these peculiar fos iU," and the doctor rubbed some little particles in his hands and chuck led. Two days afterward the old darkey returned again and the doctor, with a searching expression on his face, again handed the "charm bag," fold ed up and tied as he had found it to its owner, who refused to take it, saving, with a serious and comical shake of the head : "Boss, I done gin it up ; you des well keep it, kase you gwinter have dat ting spite all 1 kid do." And he believes to this day that the doctor had "tricked him" so that his charm bag could not leave that office with him. . I once knew a negro servant who went to a physician and declared that a certain old woman had become a :u u: ..,1 ;.lv VCACU r 1 1 11 ijiuj auu uau iajujuicu him, and that every day he could feel a lizard crawling down hileg. The physician prescribed for some little irregularity in his circulation and dicmissed his patient with a severe reprimand for his foolish no tions. The faith of the ignorant man was not shaken, however, and in stead of getting well he grew worse, until he became seriously ilL Upon learning the peculiar nature cf his malady, the rwner of the plantation cent tor another physician and told him the particulars, whereu-ton the doctor, uuderctanding the influence widely oterlhe ttody by the mind adopted a different plan of treatment He bumored the whims of the pa lient, told him he had been tricked and Hjke confidently of his ability to make the lizard leave his lodgings, which he did in this way: Engaging a schoolboy to capture a small lizard, he kept him until the proper time, visiting thesk-k man daily the mean while and informing him that upon ... .1 Hill a change in tne moo a ne wouia call his lizardship out On the day designated be concealed the ugly little creature about his coat, and alt er perlorminga number of imaginary operations, dropped his captive near his patients leet, witn the remark: "I've got him at last and you will le well in three days." The negro got well immediately and is yet grateful to his benefactor for his ser vices, nor can the doctor bimseit convince him of the hoax, because cuffv says "he knowid dat varmint was in dar all de time." The plantation darkey is a firm believer in the existence of "glioses and spereta." Sometimes they hear strange noises about a cabin espe cully if it has remained vacant for a year and their lertue imaginations immediately people it with shadowy forms and ghot-tly shapes that hold high carnival among the deserted rafters all the long, dark, wintery nights, and whenever a house be gins to g ither about it these doubt ful as-ociations the landlord will find no occupant for it among the colored race. "Boss, you can't tell me nuftin 'bout gnoses and sperets. kase I'se done 6eed 'em wid my own, eyes," said old Felix, with whom I was discussing the existence of iuimate rial beings. "Yas, sirree : one Sun day oiornin' I was fishin down on de creek yander, and fust thing yer know here come two big white things er clappin' deir wings right over my head, an' Iwwin' der necks jest like savin' "Felix gwine ter kotch the debit's fish.

"What do you. suppose you had caught on your hook; Felix?" "Ah, Lordv, I tlnuno- 'twuosome oh old S .Uisdoiii'shiid lVe mighty ul.id I didn't fotch him out on de i.ink." --Why, Felix, wliU did the whits herons have to do with y-ur fish jog?" '.

' This ignorant superstition will gradually vanish as the colored race progress in civilization. In Atlanta there is a flourishing college for col ored people and some of the teachers educated there are very intelligent men and women. But away from the city, on the cotton fields and rice plantations, you find the darkey in all their slavery time originality, and judging rom the advances made since the war, they will .remain the same happy, careless beings another century to come.

An outbreak of fire' under the the stairs on the second .noor oi school house attached to the Roman Catholic Church of the Most Holy Redeemer, in Fourth street, be tween Aveune A and First avenue, New York, at 3:15 yesterday after noon, was the cause of an appa'ling accident, no less than fifteen children losing their lives. Oevr 700 scholars, mostly children of the poorer classes living in that vicinity, from six to eleven years of sge, attend the school, and were in their classrooms when the alarm of fire was raided, which resulted in a fearful panic. The removal of : the children on the fourth floor beuan quietlv, and was progressing rapidly, when a SiBterof L-naniy, wno was in cnarge oi a ciass of girls, fainted from excitement. Immediately the class was thrown into confusion, and a rush was mi de for the hallway. On the stairs, which were already crowded, a panic ensued, and a deadly rush took place. .While the children were piling one on the other, the railing of the stairs broke, and the mass of struggling children were precipitated to the floor below. The police and firemen rushed in and found them lying four or five deep. Six were taken out dead from the bottom of the heap. Nine more died immedi ately after, making a total of fifteen. A large number ol others, who were carried to surrounding tenements, were reported to be dying. The ex citement when the news of the cata strophe spread through the densely peopled neighborhood was leanui, and throngs of excited people block ed the streets surrounding the build ing. Many children were lost in the excitement and are reported missing. A nuinber of the injured were sent to Bellevue Hospital. . ORIGIN OF THE FIRE THE PANIC, The fire started in a closet con taining some sweepings and waste naner under the staire on the second noor. It amounted to nothing, out ... ... when first seen filled the hall with smoke. Sister Apromia, who was about to send a child home, opened the door of ber class room, and was met by a gust of smoke, through which the flames could be seen. Hastily shutting the door, she ran for a pail of water, sternly command ing her pupils to remain quiet She was too late with ber water, and hurriedly marshelling her scholars, marched them out in safety. The alarm had spread, and similar pre cautions were taken in each class. The boys in some of the classes be came unruly, but were kept in check bv great effort hxit being impos sible by the east stairs, as they were filled with hre and smoke, the march was taken through class rooms on each floor to the west side in com parative safety. A half minute after the alarm had been given half the children were in the street. Just at this time the Sinter iu charge of girls class No. la, on. the, second flor, fainted. This was the one mis hap wanting to precipitate a panic, and with a wild cry of Tear the -seventy or eighty little girls thus left without a leader rusnea lnio.tnrai ready crowded hallway, throwing the crowd there into confusion. Shrieking the children crowded. rolled and tumbled down the stairs together. The foremost ' and the weaker were trampled.- Others struggling over them formed an im passable barrier on the stairs, f rom the street policeman Henry Schweak who was on duty at the school, but bad gone into the church, rushed in with citizens and firemen. 'The heaving struggling mass on thq stairs, receiving fresh additions from above, swelled in their sight Sud denly the hand rail and board par tition guarding the stairs on the ex posed side crashed in, and the mass of dead and dying children fell to the narrow hall below, filling it four and five deep HEARTRENDING ' SCENES. ' A score of bands were quickly at work pulling the children out and as many more by main lorce kept tne crowd still coining from above b;ick. The slight fire on the other' side bad been promptly extinguished, and many of those still on the upper floors were helped out that way. From the heap of children in the west hall fix dead girls were taken out and carried into the church, where they were laid iu front ot the chancel and attempts made to re suscitate them. Muthers', forcing their way despite the large police lorce, tilled the sacred building with their pitiful cries. One recognized her child and fell ujkji: it with ago nizing cries. The policemen and monks who looked on turned away to hide their tears. The bodies were taken op by officers and brought to the Fifth street police station! 'A clamoring, shrieking, moaning throng of women, with up lifted bands aud streaming eyes, sur rounded it searching for their chil dren." Some found those whom they sought, and tell upon their knees in the snow, uttering thanksgiving. "Those who could not find their little ones followed the wagons cur rying the dead, a : wailing throng, a terrible funeral cortege. - In the rear room' of the station thirteen little bodies were laid in a row, numbered as they were laid" Jjl others search- ig for their children sere admitted one by one.

Without unremitting labor suc cess in life, whatever our occupa tion, is impossible. A fortune is not made without toil, and money un earned comes to few.

The beautiful statue may exist in the artist's brain, and it may also be said in a certain sense to exkt iu the marble block that stands before him, but he must bring both his brains and his hands to bear upon the marble, and work hard and long, in order to produce any practical result Success also depends in a good measure upon the man's promptness to take advan tage of the rise of the tide.

But something more than alertness is needed; we must know how to avail ourselves of the eruer gency. An elastic temperament, which never seems to recognize the fact of defeat, or forgets it at once and liegins the work over again, is very likely to ensure success.
