THE riUXCESS AND THE RABI I
In olden time, in ages long since flown,
There lived a rabbi, one whose treat reno- n
For wisdom, learning, and for many thin gs.
Made hint much sought by emperor a ad
kings.
Yet though his wisdom made bim wondro us
wise,
Ilia face was ugl.r, and his crooked eyes,
That mated with bis soiled and blacken sd
skin,
Gave to his countenance horrid grin.
One day an emperor asked him to bis cou ft,
Wtjere " t'gly Face" was subject to tb
sport
Of lords and ladies, and amid the langhfa
None mirtbed it more than did theetnparorlk
daughter.
"Good rabbi, tell rue," were the words she
said, 'How wisdom dwells in such an ngly head?"
The rabbi kept his temper, though his cheek
I'aled at the insult, with voice so meek.
He asked the princess did she know the bin
Or jar in which her father kept his wine.
" The bins I know not, quickly she replied,
" Hut earthen jars have all such wants sup
plied." In farfAoi jars Ha, ha! that's very fine
That's where the common people keep theini
wine ;
An emperor's is worthy of greater place ;
Xo handsome vessel would such wine disgrace."
So said the rabbi ; the princess thought that
he
Could nothing else but full of earnest be ;
That one who many clever things oft spoke
Would ne'er in indulgejin playing a paitry
joke;
So to the butler she ran off in haste,
And bids him best of all the wines to place
In jars of gold ; the butler quick obeyed
(A princess' word must never be gainsaid)
Took from the earthen jars the wine so old.
And poured it in those of fintat gold.
off her bonnet and veil, removed her
mantle and gloves, and went into the
kitchen.
'Cannot I do somethinir to help
you, sister Matilda r said she plead
inelv.
Mrs. Abel Piercy looked, with
cold, blue eves and hps primly com
pressed, at the fair face, which was
younger and ireener man ever with
out the jet black circlet of the bon
net, at the slight, graceful figure be

'No. I thank you,' said she, 'I am
not used to having fine ladies in my
kitchen.
"But it you will lend me an apron
'No, I thank you, Mrs. Oswald

Perhaps the advertising columns

'We are sisters,' said the widow
with a quivering lip.:' 'Will you not

'Oh, no, we're no relations at al.

When next the wine was to the princess

It tasted flat and stale ; 'twas then she tho't
On her the rabbi some foul trick had played,
Aud finding him, she, flushed with anger
said,
' So, rabbi, do you know the wine I poured
In golden vessels is U spoiled and aoured?"
To which the rabbi with a touch of pride,
And sterner accents tban before, replied :

'No,' said Plume, T was a teacher

what did you mean about the adver

asked.

Mi 9. Piercy was not in a good ha
mor that day, as she sat at the break
fast table pouring conee for her hus
band, and dispensing bread and but
ter to the three plump little Piercy'-
. . .
fche was a handsome, overdressed
woman with a cood deal of false
hair, frizzed and puffed and braided
on the top of her head, and a com
plexion that bore remote witness to
the constant use of cosmetics.
And Mr. Piercy, at his end of the
table, was evidently ill at ease, as he
broke his egg and nibbled diligently
at his roll.
'But what was I to do, my dear?'
said he, after a brief silence which
was by no means peaceful.
'Do ?' shrilly retorted Mrs. Piercy.
'Why, what do other people do?
Are we to keep a home for the indi
gent poor? Or a refuge for the wid
owed and fatherless ?'
'My dear, ray dear,' pleaded Mr.
Piercy, who was a small man with
thin hair and spectacles, 'you may
be a widow yourself some day.'
'And if I am, I shall not go beg.
ging among my relatives, that you
may depend on,' said Mrs. Piercy.
'And alter all, she isn't any relative
of yours, only your brother's wife !
I'd like to know what earthly claim
she has upon you. I declare, the
more I think of it the more I am
amazed at the woman's presump-
1 tion. Her very name is an aggrava
tion, too. 'Plume Piercy,' indeed,
j I'll wagpr my new lace pin that she
was a second rate actress when she
! married your brother. No, Mr.
Piercy, if you think that I '
But here the torrent ot tne lady s
eloquence was cut short by the un
expected appearance on the scene of
the very subject of her objurgation,
a tall, pretty women, of about four
and twenty, whose wavy, golden
tresses and delicately fair complex
ion contrasted vividly with the deep
mourning weeds she wore.
4 A veil down to her feet,' mentally
ejaculated Mrs. Abel Piercy. 'And
a six inch bias band of the very best
Courtland crape on her gown. I
wonder who's expected to pay for all
this?'
Abel Piercy. the kindest hearted
of little men, welcomed his brother's
widow with genuine hospitality, but
Matilda, his wife, looked askance at
her, with no friendly smile upon her
countenance.
'Of course, you will consider this
your home,' said Mr. Piercy, as h
made haste to draw a chair close to
the fire.
'Until you are able to suit your
self somewhere else,' crisply added
his wife.
The widow said little; 6he only
looked, with large wistful eyes, from
one to the other, as she sat there,
the morning sunshine turning
ine her fair locks to braided masses
of gold, the pearly delicacy of her
skin arousing the liveliest envy in
Mrs. Abel's heart
'Though, of course, it's only some
French balm, or Cireassiam cream
or other, that I haven't heard of,'
said she, to herself.
But after Mr. Piercy tad buttoned
on his overcoat and gloves, he came
back to the breakfast room, while
his wife was putting up the chil
dren's school lunches in the little
pantry.
'I'm cot much of a talker, Plume,'
said he, in an odd, hesitating way,
'but you are welcome, nsy dear, very
welcome. And I hope you will try
to feel at home. Don't mind Matil
da, just at first. She's a little pecul
iar, Matilda is, but I do assure you
she ' :

another of those obliaue looks that
made poor Plume feel so uncomfort
able, 'you expect to work for your
living. e are not rich enough to
support all our relations.
'Abel's salary was reduced last
year, and no one knows how strictly
I have to economise in order to
make both ends meet. And a strong
young wwman like you ought to be
ashamed to sit down on a sickly
man with a family, like my husband
because
'Stop, oh, stop !' said Plume, lift-
ins up her hand, as if to ward off
some invisible terror. 'He said I
was welcome. He told me '
'That's just like Abel,' said Mrs.
Piercy, scornfully. 'He'd take in all
creation if he could. He never stops
to think whether he can afford it or
not'
'I am sorry that I intrude,' said
Plume, with dignity. 'It shall not
be for long. I will look at the news
papers at once.'
..... . . . ... . .
1 es, that s a deal the best plan,
assented Mrs. Piercy, ungraciously.
'Of course you won't mention our
little chat to Abel. He might be
vexed, and after all, I nm only
speaking for your eood.'
Hume looked at her with an ex
pression 01 lace which somehow
made Mrs. Abel Piercy feel as if she
was shrinking up like a withered
walnut in the shell.
'Yes, I know,' said she. 'But you
need not be afraid, I am no talebear
er, to make mischief in any one's
family.'
Mr. Piercy felt very uncomforta
ble after this little conversation was
ended.
'How she did look at me,' thought
she. But I only spoke the truth,
after all. We can't be burdened
with her support let Abel talk as be
pleases. And no matter what she
says, I believe she has been an ac
tress. No one but an actress could
ever put on such royal ways as
that'
Half an hour afterwards, when the
bell rang, and some one inquired for
Mrs. Oswald Piercy, Mrs. Abel nod
ded her bead to the cake she was
taking out of the oven.
'Company already,' said she, 'and
gentleman company, as I live I well,
ifthisisthe way she intends to go
on, the sooner she suits herself with
a situation the better.'
Mrs. Piercy bad been secretly
anxious for an opportunity of quar
reling with her bister in law. Here
it was at last; and when the old
gentleman with the glossy broad
cloth suit was gone, she bounced
into the parlor, with a red spot on
either cheek bone, like signals of
war.
'So you have been reciving com
pany, Mrs. Oswald ?' she said.
Yes,' Plume innocently answer
ed. 'Gentleman company, too,' cried
Mrs. Piercy.
'It was Mr. Van Orden, my
husband's lawyer,' exclaimed
Plume.
Oh, I dare say I' said Mrs. Piercy.
A11 that sounds ery well, but I
have the character of my house to
look to. and '
'He is coming back with car
riage, hurriedly spoks Plume. 4I
am to go to his wife's house at once.
Mrs. Van Orden is willing to give
me the shelter which my own hus
band's relatives begrudge me.'
'I wish her joy of ber bargain, I
am sure,' said Mrs. Abel Piercy, with
a toss of the mountains of false hair
that crowned her head.
And so the two women parted in
co spirit of amity.
'I dare say shell go straight to the
store.' thought Mr. Abel, 'and invent
a pitiful story for my husband's ben
efit And Abel will make a great
fuss Abel was always soft about
his relatives but I shan't mind it

her husband came in to tea. For Jo"qu,n M,,ler Wrt-
when Abel really was angry, his
anger signified something. But to
her surprise he entered all smiles,
and rubbing his palms gleefully.
So Plume has gone?1 said he.
' 4Ye,' said Mrs. Piercy, pretending
to be busy with a knot in the second
child's shoe. 'She has gone. But
how did you know it?'
'Van Orden stopped at the store
to tell me.' answered Mr. Piercy.
'Strange, wasn't it? and quite ro
mantic, too.'
'What on earth is the man talking
about ?' said she, aroused at last into
something like active interest
'Why, Didn't Plume tell you? It
seems that those last investments
that poor Oswald
beggared himself with, have turned
up trump cards after all. And Van
Orden tells me that Oswald's widow
ia worth a hundred and fifty thousand
dollars.
Mrs. Abel Piercy turned first green
then crimson. Alas for the fatal
blunder she had committed ! Alas
for the ruined chances of her three
little trirls to inherit their aunt's
tnonv 1 She made some trivial ex
cuse about a forgotten pocket hand
kerchief, and went up stairs to weep
the bitterest tears she had ever shed.
It was a lesson to her, but it was
an expensive one. for rlume
Piercy, although she always remain
ed in the most excellent terms with
her kind little brother in law, never
crossed Mrs. Abie's threshold again.
She had been too deeply stung too
bitterly insulted there.
'And its my own tault, sadly
reflected Mrs. Abel. Oh, dear, oh,
dearj why can t we see a little way

A good definition for "woman"
would be an animal that delights in
shopping. She glories iu it and lies
awake of nights to think of it Her
instincts lead her to "make a day of

worth of coffee and a can of riilmon,
and nine chances to one he comes
back if he don't spend the whole
business with a sack of meal, some
brown sugar and a box of matches.
But she will go shopping in quest of
a score of utterly dissimilar articles
and come triumphantly home with
out forgetting one. She scorns a

resorted to by muddle headed men,
and carries in her head a list of all

where Mrs. bpragle s is brown. The
first knot in the string she has in her
pocket book is the length of the oil
cloth for the frontdoor; the second,
the length of Lucy's skirt ; the third,
the width of the window she wants
lambrequin for, and the whole
ength is just the circumference of
the ottoman she wants a linen cover
for. Then thee are to be blue stock

and some braid to bind Jimmy's

box of baking powder, a paper of
needles, a new grammar, and some
bird seed and cuttle bones for the
canary. A scrap of silk to match,
and some napkins for Mrs. Stipgen's.
All of these purchases are attended
to, not an article missed, and now
business being over she thinks she
will enjoy heiself by looking over
ie new goods. No matter bow
wearied the dry goods clerks may
be, she is sublimely unconscious of
and bolt after bolt of the latest
styles ol silk, worsted and cotton,
are handed down fat her inspection,
but not a vard does she buy. Then
she goes to the shoe store, tries on
seven pairs of shoes, and slippers
innumerable, and winds up by say
ing in the most pleasant manner
imaginable, "I don't believe I'll buy

and finds Mrs. Stiggens waiting for
the napkins, and immediately en
ters into a detailed description of the
entire costume of every lady she
met knowing even the number of
shoes sh wore, and the way she
did up her hair. Now, should a
man undertake to do the twentieth
pai t of this he would become hope
lessly insane. But a woman arrives
home blooming, and immediately
begins to store up in her mind a list
of things to be purchased the next
day.
A Voice From tbe freaa.
I take this opportunity to bear
testimony to the efficacy of your
"Hop Bitters." Expecting to find
them nauseous and composed of
bad whiskey, we were agreeably sur
prised at their mild taste, just like
a cup of tea. A Mrs. Cresswell
a Mrs. Connor, friends, havelikewiee
tried, and pronounce them the best
medicine they have ever taken for
building up strength and toning up
the system. I was troubled with cos
tiveness, headache and want of ap
petite. My ailments are cow all
gone. I have a yearly contract with
the doctor to look after tbe health of
myself and family, but I need
him cot now. S. GILLILAND.
July 25, 1878. Peopia, Advocate,
Pittsburg, Fa
There is hardly an adult person
living but . ia sometimes troubled
with kidney difficulty, which is the
most prolific and dangerous cause of
all disease. There is cq sort of need
to have any form of kidney or urina
ry trouble if Hop Bitters is taken
occasionally.
ous and unbroken ugliness ; but
these seven hundred miles of houses
down here, with their marble door
steps and the stringy maids scrub
bing them perpetually, and the
ceaseless streams of soap and dirt in
either direction, are simply 700
miles of nightmare.
I have discovered here in this
vast city of 12J square miles, more
tban six hundred well attended
churches. The ladies are abundant
shy, refined, and far more beautiful
by nature, than the marvelously
beautiful ladies of New York. Yet,
disdaining art. they do not first seem
so striking and attractive.
I find here 1500 street cars thump
ing and jumping through night and
day over 250 miles of cobble stones
and Btreet rails. The racket is some
thing awful.
.uw, I am going to oner some
advice. Of course I will get no
thanks for it I rarely do. Even
this city, which I have discussed
here, and propose to picture in this
sketch exactly, may possibly be lm
patient with me for my work. Yet
1 see she is even now tearing down
the fences from around her parks
and giving them to the people, just
as 1 told her to last summer. Good!
but she would not admit my hand
in the work. And no matter. No
matter who tears down these ugly
and insolent fences all over the Re
public, only so that it is done. The
advice? Ah, it is this: Take up
your cobble-Btones, widen your
streets, you have land enough, room
enough now, more than you will
have a century hence, when it will
be impossible. And when you have
carted off your cobble-stones and
widened your streets, then plant
them in trees as Washington City
has, and pave them with asphalt as
Washington city has; and finally,
if you possibly can rise to!the spirit
of it build a few bright, airy, ele
gant and Pompeian-hued houses,
such as now charm, invite, instruct,
inspire strangers at Washington
Lity. And ah, above all. do. in
pity, take up that kneeling posture,
that mute and almost motionless
maiden, streaming her two perpetu
al streams of soapsuds from vour
beautiful and tomblike marble door
step". A LOFTY EDIFICE.
The new City Hall sits white and
serene here in the centre of the one
noble street, and spreads ber white
skirts over more than five solid acres
of land. This vast array of marble
contains nearly 600 rooms. If I re
member rightly, the highest of the
great pyramids falls under 500 feet.
But the tower of this stupendous
Citv Hall is to be, when completed.
535 feet in height ! A city that can
sit still and quietly build such a
noble mass of marble as that can
afford to take very good naturedly
all the criticisms any one has to
offer.
I find more than 2,000 school
teachers. What a help they would
have been to flog the British a hun
dred years agol These chools, teach
ers, scholars, all stand unaccounta
bly high. To be educated in Phila
delphia is, I don't quite know why,
counted a good thing in the far
West I find more than a hundred
thousand children here at school.
They are al! comfortatble, and so
far as I can see and learn from visit
ing half a dozen of tbe oOO public
schools, very healthy, and as happy,
too, as it is permiuea any one in
this caterpillar state of transmission
to be.
A BAD LOT OF COLOR.
Along with the city editor of a
paper of this flat" stale and "un
profitable" town, I sought out, flank
ed by two officers, the slums of
Philadelphia. But, like those of
New York, they have almost passed
out ot existence. 1 en years ago 1
went alone into this same place here,
paid my five cents for supper, Iodg
ing and breakfast, and wrote up the
whole thing lor the JN. I . Independent.
After that others poured in for
years till the place is, like the famous
old Five Points, almost as safe for
strangers, provided they have ao
money or jewelry with them, as any
foot of this yery staid and honest
old town of Penn and Franklin.
And yet, for all that this black quar
ter is a howling bad spot, a cancer
on tbe breast of a loving and not
unlovely woman.
These 15,000 blacks require nearl
half of tbe city's force of fiftee
hundred policemen to keep them
down. They make up more than
half of the criminal resource of this
very populous city. These negroes
here are the worst by far I have
found anywhere. How much better
to turn this whole quarter into a
Eublic park, and break up this
owlicg, drunken rookery of blacks.
It would be a long way the cheapest
thing for tbe city.
Driving out the other day in the
edge of the city, we were suddenty
overtaken by a blindin, driving
rainstorm. Seeking a place of shel
ter at a gallop, on turning a corner
we came face to face with a darkey
and a wheelbarrow. Across this
wheelbarrow lay. three planks, a
abstractedly at some cows in the let
as they turned their tails to the
storm. The woman wan struck into
a rather impressive statue of Lybia.
She did cot move a muscle, but
stood there with the whites of her
eyes rolled up till she could not see
us ; and so, childlike, felt that she
was cot seen. We dashed past, but,
looking back in a moment, 1 saw
them both bustling on m great
haste. And vet there are some
folks who say the negro is without
enterprise !
ART AND ARTIsTS IN PHILADELPHIA.
To open this gate ia to enter a field
of flowers,' from which you do cot
escape all day here. You do not
bear much ef art, pictures, books
anything really in the line of refine
ment outside of the imagined brick
walls of this rather exclusive city,
but art id here, nn undercurrent of
it, deep and strong and full of prom
ise. Of course over this current
rolls and rumbles the greasy car of
commerce, just as in other places.
But the Philadelphia artist, author,

and we draw the line at the thresh
old.
The great park here has in roads
and drives altogether nearly one
hundred miles. Our Central Park
of New York is only a doll's play
house in comparison to it Dark
and slimy looking rivers, suggestive
or catfish and eels, slide around and
about the city. But their dullness
is relieved by the glory of the woods,
that now in the full splendor of
autumn illume their banks aud hang
above the leaf-strewn, winding, silent
waters. Here in this park they show
you the house where Tom Moore is
said to have written some of his
melodies. Here is also a dreary
looking habitation, called Arnold's
House, said to have been given this
unhappy man as a reward for his
treason. Ah, yes, beautiful Phila
delphia beautiful I mean when
you get outside of her and into this
park and out of sight of the horrid
rows ot bouses has her traditions
and stories, too; her house where
Washington slept; her Independ
ence Hall, her Penn and his endur
ing treaty made under tne eltu of
peace. A man who could not respect
all these and bow his head before
them in this citv of bricks between
the two rivers baa little iu himself
that is worthy of respect
As my friend drove me back from
the thirty-mile drive in this greatest
park in all the world I asked him
bow it was in this city, without any
special commerce and its single line
of ships for fcurope, had grown to
such boundless dimensions. He
quietly drove me to some of tbe fac
tories for answer.
" And now, would you like to see
all the factories of Philadelphia be
fore leaving our city?"
" Well, yes, I think I should ; the
persons employed all seem so bap-
, healthy, content and comforta-
that I should enjoy seeing all
the lactones or i'hiladelphia, I
think."
When we got fairly back in the
carriage and the robe over our legs,
my wealthy and impressive friend
said:
"We have 12,000 of these fac
tories; we have 240,000 persons
employed."
As we drove home, I asked :
" What is your next greatest thing
in Philadelphia ?"
" Our City Hall and its contem
plated tower."
u And your next greatest?"
"George W. Childs, sir."
I was silent and said co more all
the way to the gate.

A wonderful Street.
Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Win-
dom is now in London trying to
raise money for building an arcade
under the whole length of Broad
way, New York. If he succeeds,
that will be tbe most extraordinary
thoroughfare known to tbe history
of cities. The scheme is to make a
new street under the present surface
of Broadway, extending to the hous
es on each side, and lit by electric
lights at night and glass reflectors
in the daytime. The middle of the
street would hold railway tracks,
not only for city travel, but to ac
commodate in-coining trains from
every part of the country. The
traveler ia San Francisco or St Paul
would not only buy his ticket for
New York, but tbe hotel on Broad
way where he intended to stop.
Freight and baggage would be con
veyed directly to the warehouse or
be received by the express car which
was to convey it to any part of the
country. Then traffic of all kinds
could be carried on on each side of
the arcade. There would thus be a
double tier of stores. Provision
could be made for sewers, water
mains, gas pipes, and heating tubes.;
In short, it would become a double
street, and the value of the property
quadrupled along the route. En
gineers say the scheme is entirely
practicable. There is business
enough now on Broadway for two
thoroughfares.

A Glasgow professor has advanced
the theory that there is a magnetic
sense, distinct from the other senses,
resident in every person and that
through it we acquire of afHnites and
antagonisms that cannot be other
wise accounted for. We often con
ceive a dislike for a person entirely
without a reason that we can assign
to ourselves, when everything would
seem to warrant a very different
feeling, and this peculiar instinct
the professor thicks to be the opera
tion of a dificite sense which is quite
as effective and true as the sense of
eight or hearing, is often more relia
ble than the deductions of reason..
Perhaps thi seventh sense might
be cultivated to good service.
