A DAY AS A HACKMAN "Heigh Ito, McGreer I What in the world arc you swearing about so furiously?" I asked, enterin - the livery stable of the above named person amid a volley of oaths that might have shocked h's satanic majesty. "Oh ! good morning," replied the man ; "excuse nte, Mr. Morris. I was talking rather too strong, perhaps ; but the fact Is I am in a desperate strait ! Yon see, Mr. 17.1more's horses are both sick, and he wants WC 10 let hint have my best span and coach immediately. Nell, the dapples are the best, and to my eye, better than his own ; but there's not a man belonging to my stables dare drive them but Cary, and he is down with the fever. The other horses are all out or engaged, and I don't know what the—" "There, there," said I, "no oaths. I have nothing on hand, and really believe I should like to play hackman for a day in New York." "Surely, Mr. Morris, you are joking," ejaculated the man, in amazement. "No; I am in earnest,'' for the Idea was so novel, that I, a lover of adventure, became every moment more determined to try it. "I am in earnest, Mr. McGreer, say no more about it. You know I can manage any thing. Just have them hitched up, and give me the livery coat and hat. Now, leave me iii the office for a moment—but stop ! don't let the men know who I ant, and by the way al mist forgot it—have your team sent around in about an hour." Left alone, I proceeded to alter my ap pearance Its much 11.‘ possible, asouning the habiliments of a driver. I made a first-rate Irishman of the highergra.le. The metamor phosis was hardly completed when Mr. Mc- Greer mitered. "Mr. Mor—" " Michael, ye inane," I interrupted ; "sure there's no relson that I should be cheated out or a name." We both laughed, and I received e•mgratulations upon making a good son of Erin. Stepping out of the office, I niounted the box, gathered up the reins and was off. The horses were unusually gay, but I bad them in good trim by the time I stopped before Mr. Elmore's residence. It may be well to state, Grace Elmore was not the least in ducement for assuming my present position. All winter she had been a dream-idol of mine, or rather half a one, for I could not really de cide which I p•cicrred, Grace or Maude de Morris, a young French lady, who was spend ing the winter in New York tt ith her parents. Both were bewitching, and I embraced every opportunity of being with either. Springing from the box, I rang the bell, and presently.assisted Miss Elmore and her wo friends into the carriage. The day was warm for ➢larch, and the four windows were open—Grace sitting on the 1!II=1111112 " Ruud the pleasant streets, driver.. Any where for a ride," she suid. We started, andior a quarter of au hour ihe ladles' chit-chat was of no account to me, when suddenly Miss Fannie exclaimed : " Ity the way, Ciraco, rumor says you are engaged to George Morris, and the twill sire on your fore-linger appears to confirm it." •• Humor honors me," was the reply. Nox, Grace," chimed in the third lady, stop your 'nonsense, and tell us candidly, are you engaged?" Wel!, I'm arraigned before a court for some terrible crime, and commanded to answer, guilty or not guilty ?—is that it?" was the lialf laughing, half annoyed response. "No," replied the third lady, " only to gratify friendly curiosity." " Well, the truth is, I am not at liberty to say all I wish ; but this much I will acknowl edge—the ring you mentioned did once balung to George Morris." Was there ever such an abominable false hood told, every word of which is true? I thought angrily, as I heard the comments upon sty money, person, parents, etc. That girl had led them to suppose that we were en gaged, and there is a ring to prove it—a ring she took front me In sport, a few evenings since, and which I intended to recover upon our next meeting. Well, there is one thing certain, Grace Elmore will never be my wile. I could unt trust such a schemer. My reso lution was strengtheuen when I heard her say in cioifidential uhdertones, to the one lady, Miss Fannie having left at her own house: "I have, of course, no feelings in the mat• ter, only a school girl's love ; but I think that George would make a most desirable husband, while his wealth. with my own, will place us nth.ve ally change of fortune. Then he is very handsome, and I have decided to take I don't know that 1 could do much bet ter." " Pity I have not arrived at a similar concln sion," was my mental sarcasm. Just then she called affectionately, "home, driver." . Willingly did I place her on the carriage steps and then turn toward the stables. •• By Jove i I wish I could have as good a chance to Maude de Morris," I ejaculated. as I drove up to my stalion. MeGreer was waiting (or me. There was a gray-hatred gentleman with lam, but Meareer stepped aside and asked me if I objected to going fur ther, at the same time overpowering me wily thanks ; and saying it the horses were cooled down lie could give them to some one else: "No, tin," I replied quickly, for I was de sirous of learning mire of humanity. "I will keep my place for the present ; send me where you Choose." Turning to the 'gentleman, McGreer bowed and sea, " Mr. Lancoy, this carriage Is'at your disposal." In Mr. Lancey I recognized a worthy mer chant, though not well known In higher his means placing him only with those who were in very good circumstances. " I .1, as he entzred the car- rings. "To street, north side." . • A quiet, easy little place it proved to be—a three story brick, new and handsome, though lacking elegance. H. re the gentleman alight ed, returning in short time, accompanied by a young girl or, I should judge,sorne nineteen years, whom he addressed as Maggie. Her rich brown hair was curled neatly at the back of her head, and the soft, violet looking hazel eyes were the most enchanting that ever met my gaze. Feering from under my hat, I no ted every article of dress of the neatly robed little fairy. "Drive to the Park," was the gentleman's direction, as I again took up the reins. I listened eagerly for every sound within, feeling half ashamed of the part I was play ing though too deeply interested In the lady to desist. Presently a clear and sweet voice asked : " Well, father dear, what have you to say that you rtquire such strict privacy I" "yy child, I—l fear you are not bravo enough to hear it I Oh 1 merciful Heaven if' could only spare my darling 1" An eager lovely voice replied : " Father 1 father I surely one so young and strong, with such deep love for yon, can bear a great deal ; and sorrow will not be so heavy when shared with me. .Now that mother has no power to comfort you except through memory, let me take her precious place as best I can. Tell me all, father, lam stronger than you think." Then followed a long explanation, which may be summed np in a very few words. Their voices were often drowned in the outer bustle, but I heard sufficient to understand that Mr. Laneey, who was doing a very heavy business, had, several months previous, taken a partner, who proved to be an inveterate speculator, and without the knowledge of Mr. Lancoy, had involved the firm to the amount or several thousand dollarS. The Investment could amount to nothing in less than a year ; meanwhile debts previously incurred fell duo and were pressed by creditors. Mr. Lancey ended by saying : " Unless I get some assistance between this and Monday night, Tuesday night will find us penniless. Oh, my child ! if I could but save you I How can you bear such a change ?" And I heard the heavy sobs of that strong man come thick and fast. There were a few drops in my own eyes, for I could not see the horses for a moment. I fancied loving arms around his neck, and a pale, soft cheek against his own, as the words I had to lean down to catch Caine in a clear, brave voice from the noblest heart that beat 'neath Heaven : " Father, do you not think of me ; all that 1 have is yours, and many private articles will bring consideCable. Do not shrink from sell ing everything to pay an honest debt. I can bear all things so that love is left. Surely, I may not complain if it all be taken, if Hemien leaves me my father. Do your best and trust me for all the assistance in my power. I can bear all things so long as love Is left." Much lollowed, but this was all I cared to hear, and by the time we drove up before the neat house in —street, I fairly worshipped the brown haired angel who resided there. For the last fifteen minutes I had been con triving a plan to assist them. In my pocket was a check for three hundred dollars, drawn that morning for the purpose of settling a small account. My name was on it in full, and as I opened the carriage door I cast it to the wind, which took it to the pavement. At first neither no ticed It, and I feared that I had been foiled, but just as I was mounting the box, Maggie picked it up, and turned hurriedly to her father, I drove off wondering how it would end. Reaching the stables, I threw the reins to the hostler, and entering the office, told Mc- Greer the horses could be driven by a baby ; disposed of my masquerade, and went home, not to dream of Grace and Maude, as usual, but of the noble woman who "could bear all things, so long as love was left." • The next morning I saw in the Herald a notice which read as follows : "If Mr. Gorge T. Monis will call at No. 4 street, ho will recover lost prop •riy." It was just what I wanted, and about ten o'clock I called at the place above named, receiving the check from my queen, together with an explanation how it came Into her pos session. I asked if her father was at home. He was not. Would she give mo his plaeo of business ? " Certainly." Taking a card from the stand, [she traced neatly the address, and bowing, I, left her to seek the merchant. " Mr. Laucey, lam George Morris. Nil you grant me a private interview ?" With pleasure." Seated lu the inner office, I trill him all the last day's proceedings that concerned himself, of•ring any pecuniary assistance he might permit me to render. Alter some urging on my part, he accepted, and glasping my hand, thanked me again for saving his child, saying Heaven would repay me. And it has, most munificently ; for not six months passed ere Maggie Lancey possessed the aolieuire which Gzace Elmore had worn so proudly and falsely. I have secured the greatest treasure earth can give—a woman who " can bear all things so long as Jove Is left." Now two hazel eyes are peering over my shoulder, while a happy voice exclaims: "Why, George, you foolish old darling, no one will be interested In that but yourself." Is my little wife correct? CANAL TRAVELLING.--‘‘ Hallo there, cap ling I" said a Brother Jonathan to the captain of a canal packet on the Eric Canal. " What do you charge for passage ?" "Three cents per mile and boarded," said the captain. " Waal, I guess I'll take passage, capt.lng, seeing as how I'm kinder gin out walking so far." Accordingly he got on board as the steward was ringing for dinner. Jonathan sat down and began demolishing the "thins," to the utter consternation of the captain, until hebad cleared the tables of all that was eatable, when he got up and went on deck picking his teeth very comfortably. How far Is it, capttng, from here to where I got on board 4" "Nearly one and a half miles," said the captain. "Let's see," said Jonathan "that would be Just four and a half cents ; but never mind, egging, I won't be small ; here's the cente, which pays my fare to here ; I guess I'll go ashore now ; I'm kinder rested eout." A Boston lady thinks she Is going to get to heaven on the strength of her well-known charity to the poor. She has frequently been known, without any display of ostentation,to boil a large number of eggs, and when the poor people came to her door distribute to the hungry callers the soup that was left after boiling the eggs. Such acts of charity aro unusual In Boston ; but that's a liu le too thin to get to heaven on without stirring In a little thickening. PROPAGATION OF FISH--IS SHAD CULTURE SUCCESSFUL. About four years ago the first movement was made to demonstrate in a public way that the fishes in the great river could be assisted in propagation and their numbers be immeisely multiplied by the artificial process. Seth Green had previously been engaged in the cultivation of brook trout with more or less successful results. Ho had turned his atten tion to shad aud insisted that with a small outlay of timeand money these excellent fishes could be produced in such quantities as toglut the market and make shad the cheap fond for the poor. To demonstrate this it became ne cessary to find a suitable place where the work could be done tinder the protection of law, and some pecuniary aid from the public could be obtained. Massachusetts and Connecticut were Induced to lend their aid Itt a joint effiirt to stock the Connecticut. Mr. Green made liberal proposals to tho Commissioners of these States and went to the dam at Holyoke, the head waters, of the' Connecticut, for shad, and there began his work under great (read vantages, including the opposition of the ig norant fishermen, and receiving but little countenance from the public of the locality generally. He sought to demonstrate the truth of his theories and was willine to make almost any sacrifice to do this. He had de clared 1,13 firm belief that the s'iad hatched in a particular river , would annually return to that river and return to no other, and that by artificial propagation ninety per cent. of the spawn would he productive while by the nat ural method not five per cent were hatched. The correctness of his positions have been de monstrated beyond all doubt. How this has been done let the Commissioners of the State of Connecticut tell. In their report to the Legislature just received are the following: In the month of July,lBo7, Mr. Seth Green, of Mumford, N. Y. under the joint patron age of the Massachusetts' and Connecticut Commissioners, made the first experiments in the artificial propagation ofnhad In the. Con neticut River, a short distance below Holyoke Dam. Mr.„ Green's skill and large experience in the culture of fish especially fitted him for the work. His first attempt resulted in hatching about two per cent of the ova. His second attempt, with improved nrraneements, brought out seventy percent. His third effort secured ninety-nine per cent.; aryl in three weeks he put into the Connecticut River about forty millions of young shad. At this time nothing was really known about the growth of the shad ; there was a great diff .rence of opinion among fishermen and naturalists; some asserted that it reached maturity, or marketable size, in one year ; others, that it took from two to five years. The better opin on seemed to be not less than three nor more than five years ; and this was partially cor roborated by the Investigations of Mr. M. S. Treat of East ford ,vvilich showed that alewives, which are clostly allied to shad, take four years to mature: It was also corroborated by the time of the disappearance of abed after the building of dams. In the Fall of 1807, more young shad were observed. at various places along t to river from Glastonbury to its mouth, On ther way to the Sound, than had been no• ticed for several years. The boats on the river repeatedly scooped them up on their aprons, while many were caught by the fish ermen in their finemeilled nets. In the following summer, June 20, 1808, Mr. Green repeated his experiments in the hatching of shad at Holyoke, under the direc tion of the Massachusetts Commissioners, and for about twenty days had complete success. He turned out "several millions" of young fry daily. On the 12th of July, the weather became so extremely hot that the temperature of the water ranged from 94 to 88 degrees, and the spawn was spoiled in the hatching boxes. It is estimated that sixty millions of young shad were put into the Lonnecticut that year. During the same year attempts were made by the Connecticut Cominissionets to hatch shad at Brockway's Point, but it was the Bth of July before the ova were placed in the boxes, and the extreme heat of the weather destroyed them. No attempts were made to hatch shad in 1870, the Commissioners deeming It prudent to await the results of the experiments of 1867 and 1868, before incurring further expense. The great increase of young shad seen in 1800, as in 1868, confirmed the belief that they would mature in due time and an abundance of merchantable shad would appear by the year 1871 at the farthest. To the surprise and delight of our people, however, they appeared in unusually great numbers in 1870. Such a run of shad had not been seen in twenty years. On Sunday, the 22d of Blay,they appeared in the Sound in vast numbers ; captains of vessels sailing through the Sound, reported immense shoals of them near the. surface of the water, all making for the mouth of the Connecticut River. On Monday morning, the 23d, over 28.000 shad, of good size, were taken from the ponds at and near Saybrook. The same day, st Lewis's Pond, beyond Nuncatesiek Point, 3,500 were taken at one time, being seven times the usual catch. At Haddam Island 700 were taken at one haul c f the seine. At Wethersfield, 000 were taken during the day. At Holyoke Dam 451) were taken between four and five o'clock in the afternoon, At all the other fishing places on the river, so far as heard Irom. the catches were unusually large, and the fishing continu ed uncommonly good throughout the si ason. The average quality and size of the fish were also good. Now the largest hauls of shad in nr near the Connecticut River of which we have any au thentic record, was in 1811, when 2.280 shad were caught at a single draft at putty's Fish Place. Prior to that time, the largest single draft had been made in 1862, at Haddam Pier, and it numbered about 2,3U0 Comparing these figures with those given above, front Nuncate sick Pond, It will be seen that the single catch list year In that place was larger by nearly 60 per cent. than the largest single draft ever be fore recorded. It cannot be positively asserted that this great run (Walled was the result of the hatching lit 1807. Your Commissioners entertain the belie) that it was; anti there are certainly plausible reasons fur such belief. It is a re markable cotucidenco that such a sudden in crease should appear just at the time many had predicted it and looked tor It. It is a pertinent fact, too, that no other river shared in this abundance ; the supply elsewhere was as scanty as in former years. • May 18, 1871.—Sluce the above was In type, reports have reached us that the fishing In the river is better than It wan last year. Last week 8,000 abed • were caught at a single draft of the seine et Essex ; and thin week 000 were caught at one draft above Mldd cum. • This alone is evidence conclusive to an unbiased mind that abed can be cultivated at a small cost in the rivets they frequent, that they will return to the places where they are hatched, and that those who sow may reap. But it is not the people on the banks of the Connecticut alone who are reaping a harvest of shad. Those on the banks of the Hudson are beginning to see the result of culture in this State. Three years ago Mr. Greeu began to propagate on the Hudson. The fish then deposited are now coming in. There has been no such abundance of shad In that river for years. The catch has been large already and the market is glutted. Shad are sold at retail in New York for a quarter of a dollar apiece, and in the river towns for a shilling. The wholesale price has been as low as three cents per pound within a week. This is only a beginning.. The quantities of spawn now being hatched nightly far exceeded what has been done in any season before. About three hundred thousand young shad are turned into the river every day: This work Is being done by order of the Fish Commissioners of the State under the management of Mr. Green. The opera tions are chiefly performed on the west bank of the river, a mile or two below Castleten.— .Roehester Union.

Feeble old Lord Russell, and a few followers of the Tory stamp, are against it, but Earl Grey is entirely too strong for them in debate, and they aro likely to sink out of sight.

The horrors of the Persivefamine increase. A correspondent, writing' aTurkish Journal from Tabreee, under date of April 80th, says: " The details which reach us here of the des titution and misery which the dronth of last year has caused In the central and southern provinces of Persia are fearfully heartrending. that the people are, dying of hunger, , even in the streets of the capital, Is, a minor phase this terrible calamity. ln Ithorassan paren are selling their children as alaves.to the Tur comana in order to keep them alive ; and in paban, as is said, men have been seized In dhe act of digging up the corpses to serve as food for their starving families. In Shiraz-Kerman and Y. zd the wretched sufferers endeavor to support life on the grass and rents which they may find in the neighborhood, and, as nigh be expected, pestilence follows hard on the footsteps of famine ; between them the half o the kingdom of Persia is becoming rapidly de. populated." A later account of the famine is given in The Times of India of May 18, which says: "The famine in some parts of Pereta re severe beyond comprehension. Rain was for long hopefully expected, but it came in very mea cured quantity, and ton late to turn away the ( foe that was already at the door. Thousands aro said to have died by the wayside of sheer starvation, or of starvation coupled with the diseases it invariably brings In its train. Most of the dead lie unburied—a fact which may be regarded se the sure precut...or of pestilence. At first, when self-preservation by any means whatever became a question to be decided, yea or nay, the former alternative prevailed with the Mussulmans, and more than ono human being is .said to have been killed and eaten by them. It is stated that the sights to be seen, and not to be avoided In the neighborhood of Shiraz, are such that European residents will not leave their own houses. Also, between Shiraz and Bushire, thousands of dead bodieb lie unburied. Am: d all these tales of privation and death, how is it that we hear nothing o measures of relief, except now and again by the acknowledgment of a donation of a few rupees in B'mboy ? What is the Sovereign o Persia doing?" Current Lecture Gossip. James Anthony Fronde will come to Amer ica next year ; but will not lecture on the Irish question.
