Oar aims are nif5n ! tT?
To gain the summit at a bound,
whn w. should reach it step by step,
And lm tno ladder round by round.
Heb would ciiinb the height sublime,
Or breathe the pure airof life,
3Ust not expect to raise in ease,
But brace himself for toil or strife.
ffe fhould not in our blindness seek,
To grop alone for grand and great,
Disdaining every smaller good.
For trifles make the aggregate.
And if a cloud should hover o'er
Oar weary pathway like a pall,
iBemember God permits it there,
And His good purpose reigns o'er all.
life hould be full of earnest work.
Our hearts undashed by fortune's frown ;
Jjet perseverance conquer fate,
And merit seixe the victor's crown.
The battle is not to the strong.
The race not always to the fleet,
And he who seeks to pluck the stars,
Will lose the jewels at his feet.
A MORNING 6L0EJ.
I think I was never more surprised in my
life than when, about a a month ago, Frank
K-terhazy came rushing into my office in his
old, joyous, off hand way, and after a crush
ing hand shake, began to tumble my papers
about, and play with my keys just as natur
ally as it he hadn't been in South America
fur the last three years, out of everybody's
reach and almost out of everybody s mind.
It fairly made me feel like a boy again to
see Frank sitting there telling his adventures.
He had led a roving life back and forth be
tween Chili and Peru, it seemed, seizing
every opportunity for trade ; now with Uni
ted States goods, and now with native dia
monds; and he had something to do with
that great railroad that leaped a mountain
gorge, planned by one of his own country's
engineers. Frank had made a fair fortune
ly it all. in iuots and ducats, and all man
ner of foreign teckoning, and here he was,a
fine bronzed fellow of twenty-nine, in the
Tery glory of life, all the drudgery done, with
ihe world before him where to choose.
Meanwhile I had my own little history,
and Frank wanted to hear all that the ill
paid clerkship, the love in a cottage, the
startin: out at last in a small, cautious busi
ness of my own the hopes, the fears, and
the dear home reigned over by my own
Gertie.and Tiny Tot, our precious youngster.
I invited Frank to stay and go up to dinner
with me, to see my household goods for
limself.
But, no ; he wain a great hurry to leave
the city meant to go off by the next train,
up to a little village two hundred mile dis
tant, where some of his folks u.-ed to live.
That being as much like home as any place,
be said, and he was restless must go at
oneo. He was in plorinus spirits, took the
must cheerful view of life, told me not to be
discouraged, there was a good time coining
yet ; and so, in all the bravery of good for
tune, off he went, and I heard no more of
bim till last Thursday.
On Thursday he came into my office again,
and all his good spirits seemed to be dashed
out of bio.1. He saidown in a languid way,
kept staring out of the window as if he
wasn't interested iu anything said he found
lis aunts still living up in the village, but it
wis a confounded dull little place; in fact,
everything seemed lonesome attd strange to
biai, and he meant to go back to Chili or
W Peru, first chauce.
"A man has something to make him for
pt himself there," he said. "There's al
ilway a revolution going on, or an earth
qoake." 1 suggested to him not to be discouraged,
there was a good time coming yet. But he
ieijtued uo answer, and sat there smoking
one ?egar after another, looking as aimless
and ftiouuiy as a perfectly well man can ever
P'jwliy iuuk. I went on posting my books,
and wondered what could have happened to
cut the ior fellow up so. When business
wis over, I urged him to go home to dinner
i:h iiir, tMr I thought maybe a sight of
(mie and Tot would cheer him up a little.
He held lavk some, but I took him along
fi'.h uie, finally.
It 'iertie and I have a hobby, it is our
t me. Kv. ry nook ana corner in it is dear
''jus ami it has been such a pleasure to
fur.n.h it al', and to get one little comfort or
luxury alter another, as our means allowed.
And l lertic is a p.ime little manager; I feel
fr"ud of her whenever any of my friends
df'p in t.j ti-c how we get along.
'jortie was at the wiudow watching, with
her b..y iu u.r arms and came to meet us,
wtuiiiji Ksterhazy as charmingly as pos
Htue. Frank is too gentlemanly a fellow to
he mortis before ladies, so he made himself
ffetat,!e. and really got into quite a frolic
ita Tot after dinner. But when the child
sent of to bed, then the melancholy look
opened down in his eyes again, and that,
eoahined with his winning deference and
ftdy kindness, completely won Gertie's
sympathy, and she exerted herself to make
the evening pass pleasantly to him.
Frank looked around at some of our little
ii-k knacks in the parlor a tiny Swiss
crviDS or two, a green bronre of an imp.
Ddapairof Italian statuettes.
1 have some trifles in my trunk,"he said
10 "that will just suit your fancy. I'll
"ke you a present of them, Dick some
lueer Indian puzrles, and a set of chessmen
wt in ivory, real little miracles in their
way."
Gertie s eyes shone, for she loved dainty
Mdities, and is a real virtuoso in her limited
y.
"Notice the spray," I said, "and the shat
:ti sunshine, and see how the thick gold
en leaves hang trembling over the water.
There's a flash of the true artist fire in that
eh, Frank!"
He seemed to feel no interest in it at all,
"I beg your pardon," he said wearily ; "I
believe my thoughts were wandering when
you spoke. That's pretty wall paper you
have -a morning-glory vine isn't it?"
"Yes," answered Gertie; "and don't you
think its very graceful ? I was struck with
the pattern in the store, and chose it out tit
all the rest I always did like morning glo
ries."
"But they fade quick," said Frank, taking
two or three restless turns, and then coming
back to the fireside.
"Oh, Dick," exclaimed Gertie, with one
of her coaxing smiles. "Speaking of pic
tures just reminds me of something. You
havn't much to do to-morrow you know
you haven't, and why won't you take me
around to the different picture galleries?
You promised me the first leisure day, and I
haven't seen Bierstadt's new painting yet,
nor the other one that everybody is talking
about"
I demurred a little, thinking of some pos
sible business emergencies.
"I am sure a day out will do yon good,"
said Gertie, getting in earnest. "Seeing
beautiful things improves people, and I am
sure we ought to want to be improved."
She said this with a philosophic air that
overcame me, and I consented, in my heart
willingly enough, to go art-hunting the next
day, always providing that the sun shone. I
asked Frank Ksterhazy if he wouldn't join
us, and Gertie seconded the invitation.
"I don't know much about pictures," he
said, smiling at her, "but a day with such
friends will be pleasure in itself. I have
business trips to make in two or three direc
tions, to prosecute some inquiries, but Fri
day is an unlucky day to start on a journey,
they say ; so I will stop over twenty-four
hours, and go sight-seeing with you. I don't
know but that I am beginning to be supersti
tious." "I don't see why Friday should be un
lucky," said Genie lightly. "It is really
Venus-day, you know the day of love."
So the next day at ten o'clock, Esterhazy
dropped into my office, and a few moments
after, Gertie put in an appearance, looking
like a sweet little daisy. I took my daisy on
my arm and away we went, the three of us.
A few blocks off lay the building occupied
by the School of design, and I remembered
that visitors were free to enter at this hour.
I mentioned it to Gertie. .
"Then let's go in there first," she exclaim
ed euthusiactieally, "and we shall see all
their original drawings. They make some
of the most exquisite designs you ever saw,
people tell me, and there are some young
women there who have a wonderful talent."
"Anything to kill time," said Esterhazy,
so in we went.
There were not many of tho art students
present that day, and of those who were,
very few seemed to notice us. We walked
quietly behind some of the desks, glancing
over shoulders at the exquisite creations
growing beneath busy fingers. Theu one of
the teachers gave us the privilege of looking
at the portfolios of finished designs. That
was really a treat. There were stately Co
rinthian capitals, with the noble acanthus,
friezes, and designs for church windows;
thorc were copies of antiques, studies of
still life, lovely fancies for vases and for sil
ver, and finally we came to what was really
the most practical folio, containing an im
mense number of designs for carpets and for
wall paper.
"These," explained the teacher, are done
by such young ladies as wish to earn money
at once for their work. Copies of the best
are frequently taken by manufacturers, who
pay liberally.".
We turned them over with some interest
for here, as Gertie, who had been reading
a speech on political economy, remarked,
women took the rank of producers, instead
of mere consumers. Esterhazy politely ex
amined them with us.
"Why.Dick !" suddenly exclaimed Gertie,
arresting the turning leaf, "just look ! here
is the very original of our morning glory
wall paper. And see how beautifully it is
done ; every touch of the crayon waa inspi
ration."
"Yes," remarked the teacher; that is
qnite a favorite pattern, the manufucturer
tells me. It was done two years ago by a
poor young girl who had but recent by enter
ed the school. She has executed some very
fine things since then."
"Where. is she?" asked Esterhazy in an
unsteady voice, and as I gl-tnced at him in
surprise, I saw that his eyes were luminous
with feeling.
"The girl, Eleanor Holt ? It is not her
hour yet ; she comes at eleven," replied the
teacher.
"I knew her once ; I should like to see
her," said Frank, whose bronzed face was
fairly growing pale with excitement.
"Certainly.sir," said the obliging teacher;
"yonder is our reception room. If you will
take seats there, I will speak to Miss Holt
when she comes."
Gertie and I followed Frank to the recep
tion room in mute amazement, but Gertie's
womanly instincts were on the alert, and she
gave me a meaning,triumphant glance as we
took our seats. Frank, evidently in the ut
most suspense, took out his watch'; the hand
pointed to eleven.
"I am afraid we are in the way," whis
pered Gertie in my ear.
A moment more and there entered a young
lady a young lady with a sweet, shy face,
and brooding brown eyes. She did not know
who wished to sec her, and glanced inquir
ingly at Gertie and me,and then at Esterhazy.
lie looked like a man in a trance.
"Nellie," he cried, reaching out his arms.
VOh, Frank!" ...
Gertie and I turned short about and went
back into the drawing hall, where we turned
over portfolios for a full half hoar, and did
not grudge it. At the end of that time
Frank beckoned to us from the reception
room, and we joined him there, to be intro
duced to the "dearest girl in the world."
"I'd lost her, you see," said Frank radi
antly, "but she shan't escape me again."
I questioned whether she would ever try
to, she looked so very blushing and happy.
Gertie was in a rapture,and kissed Miss Holt
on the instant. ...
"The morning glories did it," Frank went
on to explain. "I never knew much about
pictures any way, ,but Nellie always used to
be drawing, and the very last time I saw her
she was sketching morning glories.
So much for the luck of a Venus Day ! I
never saw a more cheerful fellow than Frank
Esterhazy is novf. He says life is a wonder
ful blessing, and that people never ought to
complain. And he has given up the ides' of
going back to Peru, among the revolutions
and earthquakes. He is to be married, you
will understand, and Gertie is in a perfect
flutter over Eleanor, for bix weeks is such a
little time to get ready in, she says.
THE PIOUS ROBBER.
Daring my twenty-five years of actual
service as a detective, I have found many
who have stolen the livery of heaven to
serve the devil in.
One morning I stepped into Chief Mat
sell's office, having just returned from the
West, when I was accosted by the Chief.
"Hallo. Harry; glad to see you; there is
work ahead."
"What's up now? another murder?" I
exclaimed.
"No, it's a robbery ; or, as I should say
a series of robberies."
"Where?"
"Bond street.",
"What not on Bond street !" I cried, as
tonished, for in my absence I had heard of
frequent robberies being committed on that
particular street.
"Yes, Harry, this is the tenth robbery
inside of two weeks," replied Matsall.
"Can it be fathomed?"
"I know not; in fact we had no one to
work it up."
"Where's Bolt and Knight?"
"On that murder case in Newark."
"And Charley Ross?'"
"He has just finished the Chatterton
forgery case, and is expected here to-morrow.
So, Howard you will have to work up
this one."
"I'll try it. but I cannot go to work till
morning, for I must rest."
"All right," returned the Chief; and 1
left the headquarters.
The many robberies which had taken
place on Bond street were very mysterious.
and no trace could be had of the depreda
tor, for th ey seemed to have been commit
ted by one pers on. Detectives from Phila
delphia worked at the case for a while, but
went home no wiser than they came.
I had worked up many detective cases,
and was considered a first-rate detective
that is by our Chief and nearly all the
mysterious and intricate work was placed in
my hands.
As I entered head quarters the succeed
ing morning I was hailed by Matsall ;
"Another robbery last night, Harry."
"Not on Bond street, I hope."
"Yes, it is there again."
"The devil !" I cried, perfectly astonish
ed.
"It is either his Satanic majesty or his
imps," said the Chief, with a smile upon
his face.
"Who was visited last night !"
"Mrs. Durant, the Irish widow. She
was here this morning, and said that she
had been robbed of valuables amounting to
over five thousand dollars."
"Whew!" I exclaimed, that was a big
haul.
"Now, Howard, you had better go and
examine the scene of the robbery, and do
as you think best.
I left the office and ere long stood on the
marble steps of Mrs. Durant's brown stone
front. A servant bade me enter, and I was
conducted to the parlor, where I found the
widow bathed in tears. She quickly looked
up and drew her hand across her eyes.
"I am Harry Howard," I said, by way
of introduction.
"Mr. Howard, the detective 1"
"The same, Madame."
"You come to investigate the matter, do
you not?"
"I do. I would like to see the room
where you kept your valuables."
"Follow me," said the widow; and sho
led me up stairs to a small room where tha
jewels had been kept.
Things were in a topsy turvy condition.
Drawers lay on the floor with their contents
scattered about the room. The iron safe
was broken open and the ineney and jewels
extracted. I noticed that there was a stain
of blood upon one of the drawers, and con
cluded that the burglar had injured him
self in some way, while committing his dep
redations. The next moment I picked up a
part of an envelope which was saturated
with blood. I examined it closely, and
found that it had been addressed to "Rev.
Noah Newton,NewYork." I hastily thrust
it into my pocket, and turning to the wid
ow, said :
"Mrs. Durant, do you know Rev. Noah
Newton of this city ?"
"Oh, yes, he is our pastor; but you do
not suspect him ?"
'Oh, no, I was requested to enquire about
him, by a friend." 1
"Then you have no clue," said the wid
ow, as I rose to go out.
"I have not madame. This is the most
complicated case I have engaged in. But
I have one more question to ask."
"Proceed, sir."
"Can you describe any article that has
been stolen?"
"Oh, yes there was toy betrothal ring.
It was given to me by Mr. Durant many
years ago, but he is dead now."
"Please describe it," I said impatiently.
"It is a heavy gold ring, the letters T.
D.' are engraved on it."
"That will do," said I. and the next min
ute I was walking rapidly toward my lodg
ings. For a long time I thought of the case
upon vfni'ch I was. engaged. I could not
believe that Mr. jewton was the burglar,
but then' the question arose, how came the
bloody envelope in the widow's room ?
But I must see the minister and know
more about htm'. . t sa-jntered down Broad
way and stepped into a store to purchse
some articles which I stood in need of.
While making the purchase, a man step
ped in and asked (or some things which had
been. left for Noah Newton.
"Are you Mr. Newton?" asked the
clerk. . .,
"I
am, sir."
"Bob, run up stairs and get Mr. New
ton's things," cried the clerk to an errand
boy.' ......
Bob b'fi'rnecf off up stairs, while I contin
ued my study of Newton's face. I had ex
pected to sec a person of sinister counte
nance, but Was woefully mistaken. He was
amanof about twenty-eight years of age,
with a cleanly shaved face, and was neatly
dressed. His eyes were large and" cxpress
sive, .and the noble looking forehead told
that he was linteligent Though his looks
spoke well of him, I thought ie needed
watching, and determined to do it. When
he left the .store I followed him, but be
went directly to his boarding-house.
The next night I watched Newton's house
and saw him come forth and walk away. I
followed, and be led me through street after
street, until we entered R street, was
he going to gambling hell?
Yes, it was true. I saw hiui entering a
fashionable gambling resort.' I followed suit,
and saw my man seated at a faro table. He
let heavily, but lost, and at last laid his
last dollar upon the table. Thin time he
wou and continued to do so until he was a
thousand dollars ahead. He then left the
room and went to his boarding house.'
Night after night I followed him to and
from the gambling house, but learning noth
ing more. But success was to come. One
night I was looking ti some gold pens in a
jewelry store, when a woman entered and
stood Dear me. Her person glittered with
diamonds. As she turned her face towards
me I Saw jnn'a Rodman one of the many
women in New 1 ork who
"Barter sheir souls for the mean's of life."
As she laid her left hand upon the count
er, I saw a plain gold ring glistening on one
of her fingers. I leaned forward, looked at
the ring, and saw the letters "T. D," en
graved upon it. I knew it instantly. It
was the betrothal ring of which Mrs. Du
rant had been robbed.
How came Anna in possession of that
ring? I must ascertain ; so I hastily pur
chased a pen, and took my s'ation outside
of the store to await her exit. She came
out at last and walked lapidly away. I fol
lowed her through several streets, until,
when in the vicinity of the battery, she was
joined by a man whom, as the light of the
lamp fell upon his face, I recognized as
Noah Newton, the minister. The two en
tered a house near by. Presently Newton
came out and walked away without being
followed. After waiting an hour longer I
saw Anna come from the building. I step
ped forward and laid my hand upon her
shoulder."
"Who are you?"
"Harry Howard."
"A detective? Yes, I've heard of yon."
"Anna, I am engaged in my legitimate
business, and I want you to assist in catch
ing a villiau."
"I will do so, if lean."
"Then please inform me who give you
that ring?" I said pointing to the stolen
ring.
"Noah Newton.a young man who lives on
S street."
"Was it the person whom you met a
while ago?"
"It was; sir."
"Then, Anna, that ring balongs td Mrs.
Durant, and that man whom you met to
night was a preacher, and the celebrated
Bond street robber.'
"Why, you don't say so? He said he was
a jeweler, and gave me a great many pretty
things."
"Will you keep this conversation as a se
cret, Anna?"
"Yes,sir; and I hope you will cateh him,"
she answered.
It was ten o'clock now but I determined
to visit the widow. She received me kind
ly, but her face wore a look of disappoint
ment when I told her I had no clue to the
robbers. After we had talked awhile she
said:
"Our pastor preaches his farewell sermon
to-morrow.
"His farewell sermon!" I cried, utterly
astonished.
"Yes, he leaves for California immediate
ly after the services are concluded. His
brother has written for him to come. His
congref ation will be sorry to part with hi m ,
and I especially, for he comforted me when
I was in sorrow and pointed me to the Lamb
of God." 1
''The hypocrite!" I mentally exclaimed.
I left the widow in a hurry 3 and went to
head-quarters, got Charlie Ross, and pro
ceeded to Newton's bouse to arrest him.
But the bird had Sown. He had gone, his
housekeeper said to spend the irigbt with a
friend.
We were chagrined at our defeat and re
solved to arrest him before be reached the
church. We went to the church at an ear
ly hour, but our game was already there and
the choir singing. We entered and OC3U
pied a back seat ; we were compelled to do
so, for the church was filled with people
who had come to hear the farewell dis
course. The preacher arose and took his text,
which I think read as follows : "Be ye ho
ly; for I am holy." The discourse was a
splendid one, in which his talents shone with
all their brightness. He concluded by ex
horting his hearers to take him as an exam
ple, and follow him as he had followed
Christ!
When the services were concluded, he de
scended from the pulpit to recieve the fare
wells of his congregation. The ladies gath
ered around him to receive the parting kiss.
At last he started towards the door.
"Now's your tima, Harry," whispered
Charlie, as Ne ton neared m e.
I stepped up to the pious robber, and
cried out:
"Mr. Newton, in the name of the com
monwealth of New York, I arrest you."
"What for?" he stammered out.
"For the Bond street robberies."
He turned pale as death, and many
of the women fainted. His hand moved
towards his coat pocket, but it did not reach
it.
"Quick; Charlie, bring the bracelets!"
I cried.
The next instant Charlie Ross sprang for
ward and clasped the hand-cuffs on, and
Mr. Newton was marched off amid the
shrieks and. groans of bis congregation.
When his trial came off he made a full con
fession, and went to Sing Sing for a term of
fifteen years. . ,
All the fruits of his robberies were recov
ered save the money, and Anna Rodman
willingly gave up theiwdow's ring.
A few weeks late I was presented with a
fine gold watch by the people of Bond street
whose church is in charge of a minister who
is not a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Why Don't You Learn a Trade?
This question was propounded in our
hearing,afewdayssincc,toa young man who
had been for several months unsuccessfully
seekingemploymeritas a clerk or salesman in
some of our leading houses. Complaining
of his ill-luck, one of his friends,' who knew
he had mechanical talant,-but doubtful
whether he could make himself useful, ei
thcr as a clerk or salesman, put the inter
rogatory to him which we have put at the
caption of this article. The reply was,
that a meehauieal trade was not so respect
able as a mercantile occupation.
Under . this delusive idea our stores are
crowded with young men who have no ca
pacity for business,. and who, because of
the fancied respectability of doing nothing,
waste away their minority upon salaries
which cannot possibly liquidate their ex
penditures. Late, too late in life, they dis
cover their error, and before they reach the
age of thirty, many of them look with envy
upon the thrifty mechanic, whom, in the
days of their boyhood, they were accustom
ed to deride.
Durina th'fl rcbellion the staff of Genera
Ttise were riding through a rather forlorn
part of North Carolina, and a young Vir
ginia of the staff concluded to have a lit
tle fun at the expense of a long legged
specimen of the genu homd, who wore a
very shabby gray uniform, find bestrode a
worm fence at the roadside. Reining in his
horse, he aocosted.hini With, "How are you,
North Caroliria?" , . .
"How are you, Virginia?" was the ready
response:
The staff continued: "The blockade on
turpentine makes' you rather hard up don't
it? There is tfo' sale for tar now is there?"
' 'Well yes," was the slow response. "We
sell our far to Jeff Davis now."
"Tbe thunder you do. What on earth
does the President do with your tar?"
North Carolina answered : 4 'He puts it
on the heels of Virginians to make them
stick to the battlefield!" The staff rode
on.
Take Warni.no. A man in this country,
who stopped his paper slfice the first of Jan
uary, has since died. We do not know that
the act was the cause of his death, but we
have known a number who neglected to pay
for their paper and have since had sickness
in their families ; one man's little boy had
his fingers cut off, and another delinquent
lost a good horse ; another's wife died, and
two others have gone into insolvency. Ex.
Jones told his wife that the reason he
could not get home earlier during the even
ings of last week was "Cause er water was
s extraordinary (hie) high, my dear."
From the smell of his breath she decided
the water must have been very high, in fact,
entirely out of his reach.
A gentleman wishing, not long since, to
'pop the auestion,' took up the young lady's
cat and said, "pussy, may I have your
mistress?" It was answered by the lady,
"Say yes, pussy."
A lie will travel from Maine to Georgia
while the truth is putting on her boots.
