JIMMY ALA.ISOX.
BY T. 8. ARTHUR.
"I'm very sorry, Mrs. Allison, but
we cant take him back."
The superintendent spoke kindly,
but firmly.
" If it were his first offense, we
might let it pass; but he has given
us this trouble too often, and we
ehall now put a quieter man in his
place."
" liut it was the drink, Mr. Grant
only the drink!" urged the poor
woman. " There isn't a more peacea
ble or kinder-hearted man in all the
chop than Jimmy, when he lets
drink alone. Ana you u. uw
credit for being a good work-
man
Vrt letter workman in the estab
lishment, but it s the drink that we
can't stand any longer. That spoils
everything."
You'll give him another trial?
Say yesrMr. Grant 1" pleaded the
unhappy wife. -
But Mr. Grant said, "No, Mrs.
Allison; I'm very sorry, but this
thing is settled. "i our husband must
pet work somewhere else. We cant
have him here any longer."
4 Oh, Mr. Grant,' cried the wretch
ed woman, her voice rising to a pas
sionate appeal, 'just think of hiB
poer old mother! It will break her
heart!'
' He should have a thought of his
poor old mother, Mrs. Allison,' re
lumed Mr. Grant, with a coldness
in his manner that he didnot feel.
We cannot take these things into
account' .
It was all in vain. Mrs. Allison
could not raoye the superintendent,
and she left his ollice weeping
bitterly. ., .
4 It is a hard case, said Mr. Grant,
speaking to his book-keeper in a
troubled voice. 'But we cant have
Jimmy Allison in the shop any
longer. He will take his glass, and
when he get's too much he grows
quarrelsome. There's no better
workman and no better man to be
found, if he'd leave off tippling.
But for drink, he'd be our foreman
to-day, instead of a cast-off. His
example is bad, and we must
remove it He leads others
astrav.'
" He'll go to ruin, I'm afraid,' said
the book-keeper.
4 Perhaps not- When I pay him
off, I shall talk to him kindly
and seriously. And I ehall do
more.'
What?'
"(Jive him six months probation.'
Where, and how ?'
I m thinking it out Can't see it
clear, but it will come to me. Where
there's a will there's a way. His
poor old mother ! That touched me.
Ah, the poor old mothers ! If young
men would but think of them as
they should, there would be fewer
heart-aches in old age.'
Mr. Grant had a harder trial still.
In her sorrow and despair, old Mrs.
Allison came to the office to plead
for her son. He was very kind to
her, and tried to make her 6ee that
her son's loss of his place might re
ally be the best thing that ever hap
pened to him. But this was impos
sible. She saw nothing but evil in
his going away.
Poor old lady ! At seventy, instead
of comfort in her latest born, best
beloved and only surviving child,
her boy, as she yet called him fond
ly, though he was eight and twenty,
she had heart-aching wretched
ness. Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy! My poor
boy, Jimmy !' wailed the mother on
coming back from the office, where
she had so vainly striven to change
the superintendent's purpose ; and
putting her arms about the stalwart
man she sobbed and moaned so
piteously that he, also, was moved
to tears.
But there was no help for them.
The shops were closed to Jimmy
Allison, and a week afterward he
left home to seek for work in a town
fifty miles away, where he had an
acquaintance in a rolling mill. Upon
the sorrow and grief that fell like a
shadow on the hearts of his wife and
mother at the moment of parting
streamed in a ray of hope.
4 I've taken my last glass, mother !
My last glass, Jennie ! And it will
all come out right I'll be sure to
get work in S .'and then I'll
send for you. and we'll be happy
again.'
Mr. Grant was standing at the
window of his ollice looking out
4 There goes Jimmy Allison to the
station, he said, turning to the book
keeper. 4 Poor fellow ! I hope the
lesson will be good for him. But I'm
afraid.'
While Mr. Grant was speaking, he
saw Allison stop and stand irresolute
for some moments, and then turn
and walk quickly in the direction of
the office.
' We are to have a parting word
a curse or a blessing,' added Mr.
Grant, in a chanced voice. And the
office door opened, and Jimmy Alli
son came in. He did not speak at
first but drew a paper from his
pocket, which he opened and hand
ed to the superintendent
Oh ! a pledge !' said Mr. Grant, in
a tone of surprise.
4 Yes, sir, and what is more I'm
going to keep it,' replied Allison, in
a firm but subdued voice.
4 Stick to that, my man, and all
will be well,' said the superintend
ent 4 And let me say this to you
in parting ; if you had let beer and
whisky alone, you might have had a
foreman s place here long ago.4
isotnmg bas sept you oacrc out
drink. For your own sake, and es
pecially for your wife's and good old
mother's sake, let it alone.'
4 IH do it, sir. You may count
on that Good-bye, Mr. Grant;' and
the man held out his hand, his face
working with the struggle of feelings
he could not repress.
" Good-bye, Jimmy,' returned the
'the superintendent as he took the
man's hand. 4 Think of me as your
friend. It goes hard with me, as
well as with you. But you left us
no alternative. Good-bye! And if
all ' goes right, let me hear from
you.'
Jimmy Allison had no voice to
reply. , "Turning away in silence, he
left the office. -
4 1 don't see how you can have the
heart to do it,' said the book-keeper,
as tne man had gone, lie s taken
the pledge, and in my opinion he'll
keep it Why not give him a chance?
1 can t get the poor old sorrowful
face of his mother 'out of my
thoughts for a moment ; it haunts
me like a ghost'
Mr. Grant did not reply, and the
book-keeper turned to bis desk and
resumed his work. A little while
afterward the whistle of the coming
train was heard ; a few minutes
later, and Jimmy Allison was borne
away from home, wife, and mother.
oa we swiii winga oi steam, a sad
der and wiser man. V . - "J , : .
The day bad wore on drearilr to
the miserable wife and mother of
Allison, the pleasant June sunshine
unfelt uutil the sun had reached the
tops of the western mountains, for
the shadow of great trouble rested on
wild,
air, and went echoing among the
hills, and soon after the down
coming train dropped a few passen
gers at the station, and then went
thundering on its impetuous course.
4 Mrs. Allison,' said a boy who
rushed into the room where the two
women sat in their helpless, half
despair, 4 here's a letter from Mr.
Grant, and he says to read it right
away.'
The startled wife opened, with
hands that shook nervously, the
folded naper. and read : 4 We've tel
egraphed Jimmy to come back
look for him by the down train.'
A wild cry of joy broke from the
lips of Jenny Allison : 4 Oh, mother,
mother I they've sent lor him to come
back, and here he ia now !'
Springing up and bounding
through the door, half crazed with
joy, she ran through- the little gar
den and flung herself, laughing and
crying at once, into the arms of iier
husband.
"We'ye had a narrow escape,
Jimmy, my son,' said old Mrs. Alli
son, after they were all quieted
down. 4 It hurt me away down
here, my son "and she laid her
hand over her breast "hurt me
more, maybe, than you will ever
know.'
4 Oh, don't say that, mother. But
you shall never be hurt again,' an
swered Jimmy, catching his breath
with something like a sob. 4 Never,
never, never I' I've taken the pledge,
you know ; and when Jimmy Alli
son .puts his name to anything, it's
got to 6tand. The Allison's don't go
back on their word of honor.'
4 I'll trust you, my boy,' was the
mother's confident reply as the sun
shine of gladness lell over her aged
face.
All this happened just one year
ago. And has Jimmy Allison kept
true to his pledge ? More than true ;
for besides holding true to his own
integrity, he has induced about a
dozen other workmen to follow his
example, and is now organizing a
temperance society in the shop,
where he already holds the position
of foreman. Giildren's Hour.
Horace Greeley.
44 Among the writers of the Tri
bune we might see Horace Greeley
himself, a strange combination of
the philosopher, philanthropist and
rustic oddity, whose unique person
ality rendered him the most famous
man in his profession ; who possess
ed some of the most valuable and
splendid of human qualities and
endowments, and whom I have seen
on Broadway, holding up one leg
(with the tiouser top tucked into
his old boot), in order to throw the
core of an apple, which he had just
eaten, underneath it and across the
street What a capacity for work
that man had, to be sure ! He would
come slouching into the sanctum (as
Americans call it) with his head
depressed and his pockets stuffed
full of newspaper, talk awhile, and
then, sitting bolt upright with his
desk and hand on a level with hiB
nose, would write and write and
write until his arm succumbed from
mere physical exhaustion. One
page of foolscap in fifteen minutes
was his rate of production invaria
bly thrown on the floor to be picked
up by the attendant . Hia "copy "
was about the worst in the world ;
indeed, there ran a 6tory that a dis
charged employe of the Tribune ob
tained another situation by exhibit
ing, as a testimonial of merit, a letter
from his chief editor denouncing and
abusing him. But John C. Robin
son, 44 the Lightning Proof-lieader "
(he 44 got off "C96 words in a minute)
could always decipher it, even
when Mr. Greeley himself was una
ble to do bo. His enormous, spas
modic industry, caused it to be said
in the office that he sometimes
"wrote up" the whDle newspaper,
and that folks were glad occasionally
to get him out of the way. That
was effected at last, and only too
tragically. Poor Horace Greeley
What an end was his! I know not
of a sadder story than that of his
final appearance in the much-loved,
familiar office of the Tribune, the
scene of all his past glories. It was
after his crushing defeat in that
rash, ill-considered attempt at be
coming President of the United
States the outcropping of personal
and political ambition altogether
unworthy of him, and of which be
had, till then, never been suspected.
Dismayed at his failure, and the
consequent falling off in circulation,
the stockholders of the Tribune
had " ruled out " one of his editor!
als. " I have received orders," said
honest, sorrowful Tom Hooker, the
foreman of the composing rooms,
to no longer recognize you as
editor-in-chief, Mr. Greeley." Grasp
ing his old comrade by the hand,
Horace answered : Tom, is this my
reward ? Good-bye, Tom : I shall
never darken the door of the Tri
bune again." And bo it proved. He
went away a broken-hearted man.
This was on the Sth of November,
1S72, and in less than a fortnight
the newsboys were crying, "The
death of Horace Greeley."
Have A Ilaain Farming.
The great fault with American far
mers is a constant desire for a change,
The farm is rarely thought of as the
home which the children are to occu
py during a lifetime, and then leave
to the heirs. There's too much chan
ging with the crops first one thing
and then another, the result of which
is a shifting that is profitless. For a
few years it may be that sheep-raising
is the leading feature of the farm,
soon to be -followed by rearing a
breed of cattle, or cultivating hoops
tobacco, or even rhubarb. The gen
eral management of a farm should
be planted once for all, it only beiag
subject to those changes that an im
provement in agricultural methods
suggest -.The work of a farm should
go on regularly from year to year, so
that in midwinter the , farmer
may make his arrangements, and !
complete his sen me of work for the
whole season. The man who is try
ing to sell his- farm, bas his heart in
some other locality or business, and
who is ready to devote his energies
to some new crop or method, is sel
dom -on the highway to success. It
is well to try that which is new, but
not by giving up the old and well
tried methods. American-. Agricul

A Good Girl.
Some years ago Julia Van Dyne
was a servant girl in a respectable
family on Frederick avenue. It was
at the time that Lead ville was at the
hight of its fame, and she went
there. Young girls were in demand,
and she had no difficulty in finding
emplyment at good wages. In the
course of a year or so she had
Aved a snug sum of money, and her
next step was to start a boarding
house. Those were days when $12
a week for table board was consid
ered a moderate return for good food.
Every body was making money hand
over fist, and Julia at the lapse of a
period of several vears had a hand
some account to her credit at one of
the Colorado banks. Some fortunate
investments in mines brought tenfold
return, and when Julia was ready to
gratify her longings for the scenes of
her earliest girlhood she was able to
draw a check for $.30,000 and have
it honored at any bank in the car
bonate camp.
She left Leadville and removed to
one of the large cities of the East,
where she entered a ladies seminary
of instruction and underwent a
thorough course of useful studies.
Having completed her course, she
determined to make her wealth the
means of benefiting others, and she
returned to Missouri a short time ago
and acquainted her old employer
with a place which, meeting with
his approval, she had for several
days past been preparing to put into
active practice. She is at present go
ing from house to house and taking
the names of all young girls who,
like her, are compelled to gain their
subsistence by the aid of their hands
and have no means of acquring an
education. She proposes to found a

girls and women who are desirous
of improving themselves and to this
end intends, when the class is made
up, to employ the service of an excel

A Remedy for Colds and Pink Eye.
Several of our farmer friends tell
us that their horses are Buffering
with severe colds, resembling in
many respects, pink eye, the symp
toms of which equine disease wepub

ald. For the benefit of those of our
patrons who have animals suffering
with the disease we give place to the
following recipe which we clip from
the Prairie Farmer :
Really, attention and good nursing
are more essential than medicines,
in ordinary cases of this ailment
Bleeding and physicing are danger
ous, and should be avoided. The
horse should always be kept in a
dry, well littered stall, or better, in
a roomy box-stall, and ventilation
and cleanliness should be attended
to. Except in warm weather, the
body should be lightly blanketted,
and the legs should be hand-rubbed
and bandaged with flanen strips or
hay bands. Exposure to drafts of
air should be avoided. The food
should consist of sweet aromatic
hay, or newly cut grass, and occa
sionly rations of soil, warm feed or
mashes in small quantities. If there
is any difficulty in swallowing, a
mild stimulating liniment, such as
hartshorn liniment with camphor,
should tie applied to the throat
Setons, or rowels and blisters should
not be used. The drink should con

much debility prevails with reduced
or no appetite, and local swellings

carbonate of gen tain root mixed
with a little molasses, and applied
upon the root of the tongue. Lisin
fectants should be used, but not un

cold water, should be sprinkled be

Several men were discussing this
question in a grocery-store one even
ing recently. A man who owns a
large flock of Dorkings remarked,
"Not even an act of Congress can
break up a tettin' hen."
"Ever tried jammin' 'em under a
barrel and pourin' water on 'em?"
demanded the man on the sugar
barrel. , .
"Yes," said ' the Dorking man,
"I've poured water on 'em till they
grew web-footed, like a blamed duck,
and afterwards found em in an old
coal hod settin'-away on lumps o'
coal." . . .
"Tie a red rag round one -wing."
said a man who - was eating cheese
and crackers. That'll fix 'em."

said the Dorking man, "I tied a
whole red woolen shirt on one last

miles southeast of Tombstone, at
Luo Chatto, two hundred and thirty
hostiles surrendered : and were

the line last Saturday. Among the
prisoners were seventy-five bucks,
old and sick. The balance were

Crook will return and endeavor to
capture the warriors. His command

Recently the employes in Jack

startled by seeing a stream of fire fly
out of one of the logs that was being
ripped up by a hungry circular saw.
hen the plank dropped off a black
spot was noticed on the face of the
log, which one of the men tried to
cut out, supposing it to be a spike,
but the ax glanced off, and on exam
ination it was found to be an iron
shell. The shell was pried out and
found to be an eight inch spherical
with the percussion cap still on the
anvil.
No visible mark on the exterior
of the tree, which was about forty
inches in diameter, could be seen,
and the bark and aliout eight inches
thickness of wood had grown over
the iron. The log came in a raft
from Red river, and the shell had
doubtless been projected into the
swamps bordering the river, during
the war, from some Federal gunboat
either ascending or descending the
river.
