To get money and keep it, according to Richard Whinstone catechism, were the two chief ends of man. lie was a single man on principle. It was the right thiug economically, and therefore right indubitably. To one person in the world Richard Whin- stone was generous, and that was his dear friend Richard Whinotono. Richard Whinstone bad done a good day's work. lie bad made one or two profitable bargains ; he had sold out the Widow Morton, and turned her and her children out of doors fur non payment of rent; and, finally, he had read a little boy with a pinched and pitiful face, who had besought the price of a loaf of bread, and who said he had a sick mother at home, a lec ture on the sinfulness of begging that evidently touched the little wretch's conscience, for he turned aside and wept bitterly, "You're a good good citixen, Dick," be said, as be sat down at dinner, "and deserve to be rewarded." The dinner was one afters his own heart. It was a treat that he prom ised himself if things went right, and they had gone right. He ate, drank and was merry. If bis appetite lost its edge, the bottle, of Burgundy was there to whet it, and he felt to again, till the last morsel, like Macbeth's amen, stnek iq his throat. Satiety nominally begets placidity. The lion, the leopard and the lamb might lie down together any day, with perfect safety to the latter provided the tprroer had their bellies full. The boa constrictor, gorged with au ox, be takes himself for a season to a life of quiet. But the effect on Richard Whinstone was different. The ex penses of a whole sucking pig, wallow ing in wine, rested heavily on his con science, and bis brain began to busy itself witb schemes of reimbursement. The current of his thoughts was in terrupted by a loud knock. Who could be coming on business at that hour? Some one, perhaps, wtth a bill to discount in an emergency that would bear no waiting.. So much the better, and be hastened to open the door.' "Howare you, Dick?" said the stranger, greeting him with a familiar ity altogether too careless for anecdy customer. "I have not the pleasure of your acquaintance, sir," said Richard, in a tone more freezing than polite. "But I know you very well," re turned the strangei ; "and pray don't let us stand here bandying ceremonies, for it is confounded chilly," saying which he led the way to the apart ment Richard had just quitted. "Well, this is comfort," he continued, rubbing his hands before the fire. ' "I haven't felt so much at home since I left there." A hasty survey of his visitor added alarm to Richard's astonishment. He was a wiry, ill-looking little man, in a rusty suit of black with a wicked leer on bis face, and one club foot. - "I Say, Dick," the little man re sumed, holding bis hands ia the blaze, as if they were fire-proof, "what an iuhospitable dog you arel" "Whether hospitable or inhospita ble," growled Richard, losing his tem per as be gained his courage, "is not your business; but I would like. to know what it is." "It's had talking business on an empty stomach." "I don't see how it's to be helped," answered Dick, doggedly. "Don't see how it's to be helped, you curmudgeon 1" thundered the lit tle man, fiercely. "With the remains ofuch a feast on the table, there must be more where it came from." "Upon my word," replied Richard, meekly, for he was getting frightened again, "there is not a bit in tke house." "Don't lie!" roared tbe other; "there is a cold ham in the pantry and a demijohn of brandy in the closet." "How do you know that?" it was on tbe tip of Richard's tongue to ask, but he was too much amazed to speak. "How do I know it?" broke in tbe stranger, as if reading his thoughts, "why I tmcll them ; so bring them out." R:chard would have demurred, but his guest made a movement which con vinced him delay might be dangerous, and tbe required articles were pro duced. Without changing bis sent, the little man dw up to the table and began to eat. And how he did eat! A chunk of ham big enough for a shark bite, was stuck on the point of a carving knife, and thrust down his throat with the audacity of a sword swallower. Another and another fol lowed, till nothing remained but bone, which be crushed with bis teeth and then sucked the marrow. "Now for punch !" he cried. "There is no hot water," Richard ventured to say. "Water! who aaked for water? Bring me a lemon, some sugar and kettle." The kettle was placed on the fire. The stranger filled H with brandy, ad ding a lemon to suit his taste. As the liquor boiled oyer it caught fire, set ting the whole thing in a blaze. Rich ard jumped np to take it off; the stranger caught his arm, and flung him back as if he bad been a child, instead of a substantial citizen of four teen stone, "What are you about?" he exclaim ed. "The punch is doing well enough." "I was only afraid the house might be burned." "Bother the house," replied the lit tle man ; "there's no danger." "Your health, Dick I" at length be said, and raising the kettle, all blaz ing, to his mouth he drank like a dromedary.. "And now, Dick, it's your turn," he said, after a long breath. "You must drink my health now." Richard drew buck. "Drink!" shouted the stranger.hold ing out the vessel. Poor Dick took a single gulp. He left the skin of his mouth on the brim of the kettle, his throat was scorched as with liquid fire, and his hair was singed by the blaze. "And now to business," said the stranger, resuming his seat, and leav ing Dick to sit or stand as be chose. "You know John Walter, I believe." "Yes yes," stammered Richard, "I once knew a person of that name." "Yes, you aud he went to California Uogether." r Richard acknowledged the fact "You made money, and he didn't." "I believe I was the more fortunate of the two." "You and he started to return to gether, and he died in San Francisco." Richard bowed. "His wife and child are now desti tute," the stranger persisted. "I can't help that." ."Of course not. It was his boy you gave the good advice to to-day ; I hope the young scamp will profit by it." The scene with the little beggar, Richard was1 sure, had been witnessed by no oue. How the stranger had found it out was past bis comprehen sion. "You'ro quite sure John Walter died poor?" the stranger went on. 'Oh, quite," said Richard j "I paid his funeral expenses myself." "That's a lie," retorted the little man; "they were paid by the public. It's another lie that he died poor. He had twenty thousand dollars with hira which you stole." "I deny ill" Richard fairly scream ed ; "and defy you to prove it." "Prove it ! What etfrontry ! Why, I saw you do it." It is false. There was nobody present." "Be careful, Dick, or you will com mit yourself. I Baw you do another thing." . Richard shrank shivering into a chair, but sa:d nothing. "Job Walter would have survived his illness, but you put poison in his medicine." A sudden fury took possession of R'Chard Whinstone, when be saw tbe secret of his life in another's .keeping. The caiving knife lay within his reach. He seized it, and springing on the stranger, sought to bury the blade in his heart, but it glanced as from plate armor, and in an instant the lit tle man was on his feet. "Oh, oh ! that's you little game, is it?" And witb a trip that sent his heels spinning in the air,Richard thrown was headlong with a force that shook tbe house to its foundation. The club foot was planted on his stomach, and what a horrible ngly foot it wae! It was cleft like the foot of an ox, and seemed to weigh a ton. "Then you are the " "Pray, keep a civil tongue iu your bead, and come along," said the little man. Richard had fainted. When be came to himself, day was breaking. The old housekeeper, who had found hiui groaning and sprawl ing ou the floor, bad, with much diffi culty shaken him into consciousness. fShe assisted him to bed ; but Richard never was himself again. The surfeit of pig bad brought on a fever, of if i i ii j ti:. wnicn ne aieu iu eigut uays. ms iubi. rational act was the execution of a I will by which he left the bulk of his ... . tl - .: 1 -.1 junune iu uuu trailers wiuun sou child; which, after all, wus a simple act of justice, for the Demon of night mare hud told the truth. It was only natural after all that, when Johnson's boy was seen cutting a sprout from the current bushes, a dozen other boys would slyly cross the garden and creep under the eaves of the woodshed to hear "if Tom hol lered and yelled." People who passed by and saw eleven or twelve boys standing in a row, ears pressed to the clupboards, wondered what new trick was being planned. THfi BONA RrEIXER OF THE BONANZA. Since the late "Citizens' Spelling Match" at the Third Ward School house, all classes seem more or less to have spelling "on tKe brain." Officer Higbee informs us that on Monday evening, just after dark, hearing what appeared to be au animated conversa tion in the neighborhood of Lunkey A Smith's lumber yard, he stole gent ly to the spot whence came the sounds. He was somewhat surprised at first at seeing but one man doing all of the talking. Thii man, as well as be could see in the dusky was a tall, gaunt, middle aged personage. He was so much interested in the business in hand that he did not observe the offi cer, though he hal moved to within less than ten paces of him. The mac, who presented the appear ance of a wood chopper or a lumber man, hnd taken off his tattered felt hat and decorously placed it on a small pile of lumber which stood in front -of him and answered for a desk. "Now," said he, addressing some person whom he imagined to be pres ent probably Professor Flint "now, Gideon, spell sawmill for me." "All right, Professor, with pleasure, sir; S-a-w-r, sawr, ra-i 11, mill, sawr mill." "Right, my boy! Go up head. Now, Gideon, here is an easy oue Rail road." "R-a-l-e, rale, r-o-d-e, railroad. How's that?" "Right again. Why, really, you are going to spell everybody down, at this rate, Gideon." "Me, oh, I'm a speller from Bitter Creek 1 Now give me a hard one." "Kuff sed. Now look out, this is a ripper. Bonny-clawber." "Ha ! I suspected as much ! Stand out of the way, now! B-a-u-g-h baugh, n-a-u-g-h c-l-a-u-g-h, claw, b-e-r, ber bonny-clawber." "Why, Gideon, you done it the first lick, and didn't even stop to spit on your hands! You surprise me, Gideon, with you eddication. Who would think it to foe you in them close, aud goin' about rough as you do ?" "Oh, I don't forget ray airly Wabash eddication, sir. I've had many's the tussle with bonny-clawber in my in fancy and before I'd arrived at the years of discretion, as you might say." "Now, Gideon, spell Aaron." "Ah, sir, excuse my smiling; but I can't help it. I'll just knock that off thusly: Big A, little a, r-o-n, Aaron." "I am sure that you are right, Gid eon, about the big A, and little a, but about the r-o-n, roc, I'm not too sure without a book." "You ain't? Well, I'll just bet you the ohoppin of ten cords of wood that r-o-n, ron, is right." "I won't take if. Now, here's some thing for you. Spell and pronounce coffee-pot without sayin' tea-pot." "No you don't! Can't come that on me! I took that iu on tbe banks of the Wabash, along with my bonny clawber, and my big A, little a, r-o-n, ron." "Well, now, Gid., brace yourself my boy, I'm goin' to roll a snorter down the skids, square at you." "Let'r rip, Pertesser ! Pm on hand with my cant-hook. I'll stop'r." "Well, Gid., spoil Korral hy drate." "Why, that's a medikel propersi tion 1" "I know, bnt it's a good English word for all that. Do you give it up?" "Give it up! Did I ever give it up? No ; here goes K-o-r-r-a-1, koral, h-i-d-r-a-te, hydrate." "By the holy poker, Gid., you've done it. Why, saw me all up to slabs, if you ain't the boss speller of the big bonanza. You shall go heme with the purtiest gal in the house this very night, Gideon ; I'm proud of yerl" Just here tbe officer forgot himself and coughed, when Gideon caught up his bat aud scooted behind a big pile of lumber. School was out. Vir ginia City Enterprise. We copy this slight "hint" from a Virginia paper : "As the report that we are very wealthy has gone abroad among our subscribers, and has made them awful slow about paying up, thinking doubt less we don't want the money, we hast en to say that the report of our wealth is false in every particular. If ocean steamers were selling at a cent a doz en, we couldn't make the first payment on a canoe. The lightning of poverty has struck us square, and had it not been for an armful of hay our devil managed to steal from a blind mule, our large and interesting family would be without a mouthful to eut at ibis moment. Is net this a sad picture, and you delinquent subsTibers look upon it without feeling the greenbacks rustle with indignation in your pocket books? We do not like to dun you, but we must if you fail to take the hint." The bump of- deetructiveuesj a railroad collision. TUB NEC ROPOLIS OF KOYPT. This vast cemetery is the oldest and largest in the- world, extending from the pyramids of Ghizeh on the north, to those of Dashuron the ronth, a dis tance of perhaps twenty miles, and is estimated to contain at least 25,000,- , 000 human bodies, besides innumera ble Ibises, and embalmed animals. In strolling through this metropolis of the dead, one is shocked at the number of skulls and other human remains that lie bleaching the sun ; often the head or feet of a mummy protruding from the sand, aud the desert around strewn with arms and legs, hands and feet, sometimes whole bodies, still wrapped in their winding sheets, calling up vividly in the mind Ezekial's vision of dry bones, for "Lo, they were very many and very dry," and contiually Prompting the inquiry, "Can these oues live?" and the answer, "OLonl God, thou knowest." We entered several pits that appear ed to be the burial place for the lower classes, and found long galleries cut in the limestone rock that underlies the desert, fiJled with mummies, piled one oue upon another, six and eight courses deep, nil ' carefully embalmed, - and looking as if laid but yesterday in their quiet tombs, and yet these count less thousands were the men and wo men who lived in the days of Abra ham, and Joseph, and' Moses! We spent hours in going from pit to pit, wandering through the courts of death, between walls of human mum mies, some beautifully encased, with their arms folded across their breasts, holding some little charm or idol in their embrace, just as they were laid to rest three or four thousand years ago. And what is most revolting, the natives are using these mummies for fuel, and fertalizing tbeir fields with the dust and ashes of their ancestors! For scientific and ethnological pur poses, we examii.ed many of tbeso ro mains, and to our surprise found them mostly young persons, their heads thickly coated with straight black hair, all their teeth sound, their bodies well proportioned, and of full habit, as if they bad died suddenly. They also appeared to have been embalmed hastily simply wrapped in swathing bands and dipped in common pitch or bitumen. As it was here, or near this, that Moses wrought his miracles before Pharaoh, and as this was the Necropo lis for all Egygt, may not these be tho victims of divine wrath, that perished on that eventful night, when the de stroying angel swept through the land, cutting ofT "the first born" in every Egyptian household? In the center of this Necropolis ara the pyramids of Sakara, the royal tombs of the Memphite kings, bald with ago and looking as old as tho sand hills among which they stand. There aro eleven in the group, tho largest of which is curiously built in stages or terraces, diminishing as they go up, and is claimed to be the most ancient monument in the world. Travels in Egypt, by F. S. Dehass, D. D. TUB PATRON OF HUSBANDRY. Of the rise and wondorful progress of the Grangers few people have a cor rect idea. Grand lecturer Thompson in a brief speech at an entertainment in New York, Tuesday evening, 5th inst., said : "American farmers, until recently, have ignored the principle that is moving the world the princi- pie of association. Their individual ization was tho cause of their subjec tion to almost every other interest Six years ago no manufacturers dealt with us directly ; no elevators or ware bouses were owned by us, an no bands or iusurance companies were coutroU- ed by us. Now, in one State alone, thero are thirty-five insurance com panies; and more than half the eleva tors in Iowa aud Wisconsin are under our control. Furthermore, we have agents in every section of the country to whom we ship our products, from whom we receive prices forty to fifty per cent, higher than those we used to get from local buyers. In consequence of the fairacss of our treatment by these agents, who are bound by the ties of brotherhood aud heavy money, bonds, the Patrons of Husbandry saved 85,000,000 in 1873, and 112,- 000,00 in 1874 ; and according to pres ent indications, will save at least f 20, 000,000 in 1875. Six years ago there were ten Granges; the next year there were thirty-eight; the next, thirty nine; the next, 10,000 ; the next, 20, 000. Now there are fifteen Granges joining our ranks daily, and wo num her 1,800,000. Our experience is pointed proof that women are worthy members of every union. We have 400,000 of them among us, aud we ought to bo qualified to give an opin ion of this kind." In New York, on the 1st of May ,un expressman advertised himself ns fol lows: "N. H.
