Raging devoted a great deal of care and attention to the

business in that line has Increased no tench that I have de
termined tomato lt • SPECIALTY. There Is no article
manufactured In which there In so much deception prac
ticed an there in to Spectacle filatres. Knowing that the
public have been frequently humbugged by portion pre
tending to have n.nperior article of Classes, and charging
exorbitant prices V.r them, thernb y traelcing noon the no
amities and Infirmities clam I have taboo pains to ire
' led a large and complete annertment of the finest and best
Glasses ever manufactured, thns affording all p a rsons
needing Spectacles an opportunity of purchasing t rea

suited elsewhere will do well to give me a call. as I feel

ALLENTOWN, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 22. 1871
THE OLD BALL DRESS.
Mrs. Langdon had sent out cards of Invita
tion to her " dear live hundred" friends, for a
grand ball at her elegant residence on Fifth
Avenue, in honor of the entrance °Cher daugh.
tern into society.
They bad just been graduated at some fash
ionable "finishing off" establishment, and
tile's debut was intended lobe a very magnifi
cent affair.
Mrs. Gregorie'a husband and daughters were
on the Invited list. As the former and two
latter sat in their parlor, looking at their ele
gant cords, with the interesting subjec under
deep discussion, they were broken in upou by
the entrance of Mr. Gregory, who looked bar
rassed and weary.
" Papa," cried Lena, the elder daughter,
"see our invitations to Mrs. Langdon's great
ball," showing him the cards she held in her
hand. "And there is the loveliest silk at
Stewart's that I want to wear. Can Igo and
order it to-morrow ?" she pleaded laying her
white hand, flashing with jewels, on his arm,
and looking up into his face.
" Llavint you any dresses to wear ?" he
asked, somewhat moodily.
"A plenty of old ones which have already
been worn, and will not answer for tliis par
ticular event," she returned.
" How much will It cost ?" Mr. Gregory
asked. .
"Oh, perhaps a hundred and filly," said
Lena, carelessly. with a little Idea of the value
of money as nu unfledged bird.
Her father zronned and said something.
about " foolish extravagance," but drawing
his pocket-book slowly counted nut the re
quired sum, and laid it on the table.
" flow much do you want, Bertha ?" he
asked, turning towards her.
" I don't think I want any, papa. • I have
a pretty dress which will answer very nice
ly," she replied.
" You're a sensible girl, and the man that
gets you for a wife will have some one to help
him keep his head above water. If the pres
sure nu money market lasts much longer,with
these demands to meet, I shall soon be a dead
bankrupt," said Mr. Gregory, as he left the
room. -
"What 16 the matter with papa? What does
make him talk so doleful when he is asked for
a little money?" said Lena. "Any one would
think he was a poor man."
" It is one of the money nervous spells ; he
is always so afraid his business affairs won't
come out Just so straight; then it is economy,
and retrenchment, or everything will drift to
bankruptcy. That is the way business turn
alwayslalk, till it has becothe quite an old
story with me," said Mrs. Gregory, drawing
a breath of relief.
"I don't think papa latrying to frighten us,
at all," said Bertha. "I think his busines
does really perplex him. I've noticed for a
week that he has looked pale and care-worn,
and has said but little. I asked him yesterday
if he was not well, and he said there was anxi
ety preying upon his mind."
" Was that the reason you did not want a
new ball dress?" asked Lena.
"Yes. I'd rather wear an old one than
place papa at the expense of a new one, now
while money is so 113 rd to raise," replied
Bertha.
"Really, Bertha, you are becoming quite
learned in financial affairs. I should think
papa would give you the position of private
councellor in his counting room. With your
wise brain to aid him, he might sail throuith
seas of trouble, ary-shod," said Lena, with
sarcasm.
" Pray inform us how you came to know so '
much about monetary affairs, toy daughter,"
saidllra. Gregory.
"-I - heard papa and Mr. Ainsley talking '
about business when ho was here the other
evening, and he said ifwasalmost an impossi
bility to get any at all, now," said Bertha.
" Well, you are the goosey ; if you will go
to the grandest ball of the season in an old,
made-over ball•dress and lie ridiculed by all
the elite you can do so. A. few hundred dol.
tars can't male• much difference anyway, and
when you see the victory which may, perhaps,
he won over a Contain attractive gentleman of
our mutual acquaintance by your elder sister's
more stylists toilette, you will regret your de
cision in favor of Madame Noah's antediluvian
costume," said Lena, sneeringly.
"I'm perfectly indifferent to the praise or
contempt of the fashionable world, for there is
neither heart nor sincerity in it. And con•
corning the gentleman of whom you so strange
ly hint, if his heart is only susceptible to the
fail wane of costly apparel, he can pay court
to it as long as he wishes, without once ex
citing my jealousy, as I want no dry-goods
worshipper for my future liege lord. So, ma
there sister, you have the field open and free
to yourself."
'• March on, march on, ye brave, to victory
or death !" sung Bertha, jubilantly, waving
her handkerchief at Lena, who was picking
up her money from the table, where her fattier
had laid it, and humming a gay opera air.
"Bertha, what dress have ,you to wear?
You haven't any that you have not worn two
or three times, at least ; and I desire my
daughters to make an elegant appearance as
any of their friends, on this occasion Bald Mrs.
Gregory.
As Mrs. Gregory was a particular friend of
Mrs. Langdon, she felt in duty bound to
honor as much as possible, the advent of her
daughters to the fashionable world, and the
attire of her own daughters, on this occasion
was an all important consideration.
" I'm going to have Madame Leicester make
over my blue grog grain silk, and you know
she is a noted genius for renewing worn ball
dresses; but if after it is done, it looks ante-di
luvian, and smells musty, I'll do penance by
ststying at home," said Bertha.
"Do just as you prefer ; but I think your
father would give you a new one If you wish
ed it," said her mother.
Lena purchased the new dress had It made
up without regard to expense, and It was ex
quisite when done, and extremely becoming
to the young lady, who had been congratulat
mg herself on the success she was bound to
achieve.
Bertha's dress came from the mantua ma
ker's hands as beautifully as it could be, and
none would ever have suspected it had already
thrice been worn unless she bad been seen
with it on. It harmonized admirably with
tier fair, blonde complexion, forming a vivid
contrast to Lena's more brilliant style of per.
Bonal attractiveness, and bright orange.color
ed robe.
The day previous to the ball, Clara Ainsley
called, a sister of Hugh Ainsley, who was the
fixed, central star, around which the femi.
nine luminaries had ambitiously beamed for
the last two seasons, each fondly hoping to be
the finally favored one.
But to the secret chagrin of each, lie still
maintained the same quite courtliness of man
ner towards them all. He seemed quite as in.
different to their heart affairs, as he would have
been to the pyramids of Egypt. This was the
gentleman Lena waq using all her energies to
ensnare and bring to her feet, before the pre
sent season closed: ,
Clara was an intimate friend of both the
girls, and she was invited up stairs to see the
dresses, which bad just been sent hoine. Their
beauty was warmly expatiated on, but Lena
would not allow her to leave until she bad
told her of Bertha's wonderful fit of economy,
and laughingly said she ahould certainly take
her to the ball; that she might descry some

interests ng, poor, young gentleman, with
whom she knew her sister must have a secret
understanding, and for whose benefit she was
carrying out this whim of prudence.
The combined entreaties of all the trio could
not induct3Mr. Gregory to accompany them
to Mrs. Langdon's. He , pleaded a headache
and fatigue. This was cover to the 'real rea:
son. His business affairs were daily becoming
more entangled, by means of several heavy
failures of parties owing him to a great extent,
and all he could see before him was ruin and
disgrace ; but be would keep hls foredodings
to himself until alter the fete was over, when,
if he found no means of extricating himaiilf,
he would make a clean breast of the whole
thing to them.
H4ll Aft - iglu was quite attentive to Miss
Lena that night, who looked very queenly in
the gay throng, and his attentions were re
ceived with with great satisfaction to herself.
Nor was the less interested Bertha, who lai
no Beige to him, overlooked.
Ile inquired at once where her father was,
as he had not seen him there. TO her reply
that he had resisted all entreaty to come, from
great fatigue he uttered a prolonged " Ah,"
and fell into a reverie.
Hugh was thinking of the range report he
had heard on Wall Sweet, that morning, that
the Commercial House of Gregory & Co., wan
fast tottering towards bankruptcy.
The next morning at an early hour, Hugh
called at Mr. Gregory's c 'fluting house and,
offered hiin loans to any amount, to help him
through the financial crisis that was upon Into.
Mr. Gregory had done the same deed, years
before, for Hugh's lather, and he ; (Hugh,
kindly pressed the favor back upon him,
which was accepted with tears of gratitude in
the eyes of the panic-stricken merchant.
A; Clara.and Hugh sat at dinner; the next
day. after the ball, discussing the costume
brought out there, she related what Lena hail
told her of Bertha's streak of economy.
"Is that so Clara ?" he asked. " Was she
as self-sacrificing as that? But she looked as
sweet as a rose-bud in her dress, if it had been
worn three times." Then he told her, in
confidence, of the state of Mr. Gregory's af
fairs, and the reason which had probably de.
tered Bertha from the outlay for a new dress.
" She is a noble girl, Clara, and I'm afraid
we couldn't number many like her amongst
that gay assembly at Mrs. Langdon's., Surely
all is not gold that shines."
A week after this, the footman at the Gre
gory's brought a card up to the parlor for
"Miss Bertha, and the gentleman is waiting
below in the drawing room."
Bertha glanced at the card, and saw "Hugh
Ainsley" inscribed thereon.
"Did you say this was for me, John ?" she
asked, thinking it must have been intended
for .Le n a.
"Yes ma'am. lie said Miss Bertha," re
plied the servant.
Lena pouted at this; she had made a mis
take, and an angry frown clouded her face as
Bertha decended to the drawing-room.
"Was it I you whlshed to see, Mr. Ainsley?"
she asked, alter saluting him.
"It was you yourself. Why permit me to
Inquire" ' 3 l. thought it might be one of
John's blunders, and that sister Lena was the
one desired,"•said Bertha.
"No, Miss Bertha, it was you, with whom I
had special business." he said, at the same
time watching the sudden enlargmeut of her
blue eyes when he said"•business."
"For several years, Miss Bertha, I've been
searching in the circle of my acquaintances
come my wife. I have just been fortunate
enough to find her, and now come to ask
her if she will bear my name, and share with
me my earthly lot. Bertha, you are the cho

I lay at your feet. Will you answer me 'yes?"
Give me time to think, please, it is so sad.

her hands to conceal the blushes.
"You shall have three whole monthsto con.
sider the subject; then I shall demand an un
conditional answer," said thigh, drawing the
hands from her face, and pressing them to his
lips.
In three months Bertha decided to say
"yes„' and there engagement was announced
to the gay world. Another three months and
the gay world was invited to their public
wedding in the church. After much coaxing
Lena was prevailed upon to he Bertha's brides
maid, but it was a bitter disappointment to,
stand in the place instead of next to the
groom.
In afteryears she learned that Bertha's "Old
Ball. Dress" had turned the scale in favor of
her, and won Hugh Ainsley. Ile reasoned
that the daughter who would sacrifice her own
desires fur the sake of lessening the burden
weighing' upon the shoulders of her father,
could not fail to make a true wife.
k VISIT` r 0 IRE BURNED (I[lY
Rev. IV. Gould, of this city, writes to the
Free Methodist as follows :
On our return juuniey from visiting the Con
ference, we had the mournful privilege of
spending sonic hours in Chicago, while the
fire which consumed it was raging • in Its
northern portion, and still unquenched amid
the fallen debris and ruins, over which its
awful and irresistible waves had just rolied,in
its sublimely, and terribly grand, march of do
struction.
The Illinois Conference had not adjourned
when the news reached us, "'that the city
was burning l" but It was not until we reached
the Galva Depot of the Chicago, Burlington,
ant' Quincy Railroad, about two p. ut., that
we obtained any idea of the extent of the rav
ages of the devouring element.
No trains from the East had come over the
road by which we were to go. Orders . had
been telegraphed to ship no freight for Chica
go, and our eastward hound train was behind
time. When fairly abroad all the talk Was,of
course, Chica4o. At almost every depot, as
the train stopped, the passengers would get
off, inquire the news, and obtain telegrams,
printed on slips of paper 7 ,and charged for enor.
mouldy, in accordance with the rule which oh
talus in times of excitement--." Ask according
to the demand." Many of these telegrams
were contradictory in their statements ; but
there was enough unity among them to con
vince us that the most terrible visitation of
fire ever known nu this continent was being
experienced. Some of our brethren who had
been attending Conference had horses in the
burning city.
Anxiety increased as we progressed East
ward. We had purposed to spend the night
at Chicago, but It became a questidirwhether
we could find a place where to lay our heads.
Our Superintendent and myself, who had
been journeying thus far together in this
Western trip, consulted whether we .had not
better stay at Aufora ; but somehow, "To
see the worst, a wish arose," and we came on.
Looking from the car window' alter leaving
the place just named, we first saw the reflec
tion of the fire, lighting tip the clouds with
lurid glare. Every window was now opened,
and the platforms were crowded, and yet we
were twenty-five miles away. On, on, steer
ing directly toward the cloudy pillar of fire•
that proclaimed God's presence, ludeed—hut
not as it did tn,the Israelites in their wilder
netts journey—the angry handwriting plainly
visible on the sky, as tt e read It, was: "Our
God Is a consuming fire." Forward we go,
feeling a stronger and Increasing interest every
moment ; until we, though miles out, have
readied a point where the objects on the
prairie are lit up by the weird glare of the lire,
which is yet devouring its victim. We had
been told that the gas works were destioyed,
but did tint on arriving within the city limits

corner of Sixteenth end Ccinal streets—the
farthest point we could reach by rail, and
about two milts from where the central depot
anti terminus of tt-is line, was, when we left
Chicsgo a week a:7O.
A glance at the mu but tit .1 p.trtion,into which
we bad entered, served to WIO'N our friends
who were with us that their homes were
s,inred ; and, with thankful to arts, we accom
panied Br(); Hall to Ilia residence, where our
coming was hailed with a peculiar joy ny the
Inmates of his household. Congratulations
over, a hundred questions were asked, and
answered. We got some reliable intelligence
of the origin ot the tire; the number or its
spreading ; its destructive pro;sess ; present
location, ; and while partaking of a cold
collation—for the kindling of tires had been

13ut now, suppe'r ended, though the hOur
was late—nearly ten p. to --nothing would

from thence there stretched at smoking plain

of what proud Chicago was. The streets,

son of the Mormon President:

Young—He will resist no legal process.
Reporb , r—ihts any officer been sent in pur
suit of the President? Mr. Young—N.t that
I tun aware of, and It would be unnecessary.
Reporter—Has the President any intention
of leaving Salt Lake City and founding a
a capitol elswhere? Mr. Young—None what
ever.
Reporter—Has the Government of Mexico
ever made a proposition to President Young
to settle in its territory ? Mr. Young—No:
QM
Reporter—Has not Delegate Ilooper pro.
poied to the Government at Washington some
compromise ? Mr. Young—None whatever.
Reporter—Will any compromise be offered
at the coming session of Congress? Mr. Young
--I have no knowledge of any such intention.
Reporter—lf none Is made what will be the
result of the prosecutions pending against the
President, Mayor Wells, George Q Cannon,
and others ? Mr. Young—lt would be impos•
Bible to say, but we hope there will he some
peaceful solution.
Reporter—Do you think Congress will inter-
fere in the matter when It shall assemble ?
Mr. Young—l presume Congress will be asked
In the Interest of all the Territories to repeal
the law prohibiting an appeal in criminal cases,
and we hope in this way to be able to bring
our case before an Impartial court.
Reporter—ls any j outbreak or resistance
likely to result from these prosecutions ? Mr.
Young—l. can say with all candor, I Wink
not. We would rather suffer from illegal rul
ings, for the present, hoping for relief from the
Supreme Court of the United States In time.
Reporter—Do you think the Government
will allow these prosecutions to he continued
until polygamy is entirely abolished f. Mr.

Reporter—What, In your opinion, will ho
the final solution of this trouble ? Mr. Young
--The only solution that will prove final is our
admission as a State and the exercise of the
rights of American citizens, of which the citi
zen of a Territory is totally deprived under
our present oppressive territorial system. We
are entitled to admission to the Union, as we
have double the population which was made
the requisite to the admission of several of the
States into the Union.
Reporter—Would polygamy be prohibited
and finally abandoned in case of admission as •
a State? Mr. Young—lf our liberties as Aran
lean citizens were guaranteed us, looking to
the future, I tun not prepared to say what con

might be made.

capital but brains and character, who has the '
great, at chance—a young man who wears out
the best of hie years in posting books, collect
ing debts or making sales, with little or no
hope of promotion, and who considers a sala
ry of two or three thousand per annum large
pay—or another who learns a trade thorough
ly. and is an expert in a bandycraft always in
demand. at the highest wages, making as his
own master, even when a journeyman, from
fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars per,
annum, as lie gets known, taking contracts
and gradually passing from theposition of ope
rative to that of superindendent, and finally of
" boss ?" There arc many illustrations of this
fact around us. There aro two brothers hero
now, for example; one a physician and The
other a mechanic ; the last could buy out the
first and not feel it ; is received, as he deserves
to be, In quite as good a social circle, as his
children mix with their cousins in the same
associations, notwithstanding that some of the
"social status" shollyites, whose progeni
tors were coal heavers, may turn up their
noses at them.
The whole question of this supposed me- I,
chanic inferiority lies in the question of Oa,
cation and manners, and nothing else ; for
other things being equal, that is the best pur
suit which faithfully and intelligently adhered
to, furnishes steady occupation. affords a ma.
satiable chance of promotion us the result of
industry and enterprise, and above all, leaves
the man independent, and not the servant or
slave of a corporation or Individual upon
which he is dependent for his daily bread.
It is a melancholy sight to see a gray hatred
book-keeper or a vigorous clerk cringing and.
trimming to suit the whims or caprices of
sonic fancied superior, often hie junior in years
and experience, who has inherited the "silver
spoon," and is hiS inferior in Intellect and all
the attributes which makes a man. If any
one supposes these employees do not feel the
humiliation and recognize their slavish condi
tion he is mistaken. Hard and stern necessity
compels the "hated utterance" and submissive
mien : the knee is too often crooked " that
thrift may follow fawning," and so the man's
life ebbs out; and at last he leaves, perhaps, a
widow and children strained ou the bleak
themselves as best they may. How many of
our readers will respond, "true, we know
it," and would gladly, if they could, take up
a trade and thus work out their individual
freedom.
We do not suppose that In this wide coun
try there is really any energetic man suffering
if lie will work, but every one who has been
iu California or the far west or any now Coun
try, knows that doctors, lawyers, store and
office clerks aro a comparatively useless class
as contrasted with those who understand the
tilling of the soil or arc skilled mechanics.
Your professional man, while he is usually re
spectable, has one great drawback in the ne
cessity of doing all his work himself, cannot
preach, try causes, physic, or edit a newspa
per by deputy, unless you aro a quack or a
humbug. The limit of your income Is your
own ability to earn It, save in the exceptional
cases of good fortune of the successful user•
chant or tradesman, and It is worthy of note
that it is only recently that commercial pur
suits have been allowed to clues with process
ions, and that even now,
,In Europe, the mer
chant, unless he has wealth enough to buy
his way into society, is as much under the ban
as the mechanic.
How much better then, would it bo iG our
young men, Instead of yielding to unworthy
prejudice, and frittering away their time and
effiirts in over-crowded, and In most cases, nn•
productive pursuits, would go to work at
what promises prompt and certain suppor,
and, with skill, sobriety and industry, insure
competence. •
