A GENTLY, itrlll:4L.—A lady, riding in a
car on the New York Central railroad, was
disturbed in her reading by the conretsa
lion of two gentlemen occupying the scat
before her. One of them seemed t 3 be a
student of some college, on his way home
for vacation. He used much profane lan
guage, greatly to the annoyance of the lady.
She thought she would rebuke him, and on
begging pardon ior interrupting them, asked
the young student if ho had studied the
languageN.
"Yes, madam, I have mastered the lan
guages quite well."
"Do you read and speak Hebrew ?"
"Quite fluently."
"Will you be en kind an to do we a small
favor?"
"With great pleasure, madam. I am at
your service."
"Will you be so kind as to do your mace' ,
ing in Hebrew ?"
We may well suppose the lady was not
annoyed any more by the ungentlemanly
language of this would-be gentleman.
JOTIN G. SAXE recently met on board a
steamer a lively young lady to whom he
made himself agreeable. Of course he
made an impression upon the damsel, who
said at parting:
"Good bye, Mr. Salo. I fcar you'll soon
be forge' ting me."
"Ab, Mies," replied he, "if I were not
married man already, yon may be me I'd
be for genial Yen."

TUE POOR WANIU3RWOMAIL
BY MRS. cAnoupat A. SMILE.
"I declare I haven mini to put this 1.. , 1
quilt into the wash today ; it 4..4'1 rea9y
need to go, neither, but I beliwo• 111
it down. Why you see, aunt, we Imo
very small wash today; ro small that Su.
can will get through by one or two o'clock
at least, and I shall have to pay her Just as
much as though she worked till night; and
"Stop a moment, dear," said the old la
dy gently, "stop a moment and think.—
Suppose that you were in the situation that
Susan is; obliged to toil as hard over the
wash tub six days out of the seven for the
bare necessaries of life, wouldn't pre be
glad once in a while, before dark, to have a
few hours of daylight to labor for yourself
and family, or better still, a few hours to
rest? Mary, dear, it is a hard way for a
woman to earn her living; begrudge not
the poor woman her half a dollar. This is
the fourth day in succession that she has
risen by candle light and plodded through
the cold to her customers' houses. Let her
go at noon if she gets through. Who
knows but she may have to come from the
sick couch of some loved one, and that she
counts the hours—yes the minutes—till
can return, fearing even she may come one
too late. Put it back on the bed, and sit
down while I tell you what one poor washer
woman endured because her employer did
as you would to make out a wash." And
the old lady took off her spectacles and
wiped away the tear drops that for sonic I
cause had gathered in her aged eyes, and
then with a tremulous voice related the fol
lowing story.
"There was never a moralithsome mar
riage than Adeline Raleigh's. There was
never a maiden that went to the marriage
altar with higher hopes or mere blissful
anticipations. Wedding the mu of her
choice, he, whose loved tones had ever filled
her heart like a music-gush from the hind
of light, a young,ltalented, abide fellow,
one of whom any woman might well be prowl,
it was no wonder that morn scented a golden
waif from Eden. Few indeed have a sun
nier life in prospect than had she. For ten
years there fell no shadow on her path.—
Her house wasifine of beauty and rare lux
my, her Misbrand the same kind, loving num
as in the days of courtship, winning laurels
every year in his profession, adding comforts
to his home mud joys to his fireside. And
besides these blessings, God had given
another : a little crib stood by her bedside—
its tenant a rosy baby boy, the image or
its father, and dearer to those,wedded lov
ers than aught else earth could offer.
"But I must not dwell upon those happy
days; my story has to do with other ones.
It was with them as oft, it is with others;
just when the beam is the brightest, the
clouds begin to gather. A series of ulis
flatunes and reverses occurred with start
ling severity, and swept from cheat every
thing but love and their baby boy. Spared
to that and to one another, they bores brave
heart, and in a distant city they began anew
their fortune. Well and strongly did they
struggle, and at length they began to see
the sunlight of prosperity shine agaio ell
their home. But a little while ~!,11 ;I',
shadows fell. The husband si'L'oe ..• i
lay for months en his couch lanxitisliing.
not only with mental and bodily pain, l-ot
(dimes for food and medicine. All that
she could do, the wife performed with
wil-
Hog hand. She went from one thing to
another till, at length, she who had worn a
satin garb and pearls upon her bridal day,
toiled at the wash tub for the scantiest living.
Long before light she would rise every
morning, and toil for the dear ones at home
and then with many a kiss upon the lips of
her pale companion and sleeping boy, start
out through the deep, cold snow, and grope
her way to the too often smoky kitchen, and
toil there at rubbing, scalding, rinsing,
starching—not 'infrequently wading knee
deep through the snow, to fasten her freez
ing clothes upon the line, And when night
came, with her half dollar, she would again
grope through the snow to her ofthues
lightless and fireless home,—and oh, with
what a shivering heart would she draw near
to them, fearing ever she would be too late.
It is a fact that for six weeks at one time
she never saw the face of her husband or
child, save by lamplight, except only on
the Sabbath. How glad she would have
been to have had once in a while a small
wash gathered for her I
"One dark winter morning, as she was
busily preparing the frugal breakfast and
getting everything ready before she left, her
husband called her to his bedsid. "Ada,"
said he, almost in a whisper, "I want you
hhould try to get home early to-night, be
home before sundown, do, Ada."
"I'll try," answered she with a choked
utterance.
"Do try, Ada. I have a strange desire to
see your face by sunlight. To-day is Fri
day; I have not seen it since Sunday ; I I
must look upon it once again."
"Do you feel worse Edward t" asked she
anxiously, feeling as she spoke.
"No, no, I think not ; but I do want to
see your face once by sunlight. I cannot
wait till Sunday."
"Gladly would she tarry by his bedside
till the sunlight stole through their little
window, but it was not to be. She was pen
'Alm, and in the dusk of morning must go
forth to labor. She left him with sweet
kisses, given and taken and sweet words
whispered in the sweetest love tone. She
reached the kitchen of her employer, and
with a Webbed fees waited fix the basket
to be brought. A beautiful smile played
over her wan fi►ce as she assorted its contents.
She conlil get through easily by two o'clock,
mei !whew it she horrid, by one. Love
mei an liety lent ussa str-ogth to her weary
erne; ; and five 'libidos after the clock struck
one, she hung the lust garment un the lino,
and was just about emptying her tubs, when
the mistress came in with a couple of bed
quilts, saying, 'As you have so small a wash
to-day Adeline, I think you may do these
yet.' A wail of agony, wrung from the
deepest fountain of the heart, gushed to her
lips. Smothering it as best she could, she
again took up the board and rubbed and
rinsed and hung out. It WAS half past three
when again she started for home—an hour
too late."
And the aged martyr sobbed.
"An hour too late," continued she, after a
long pause. "Iler husband was dying, yes
almost gone. lie bad strength given to
whisper a tiny words to his half frantic wife
—to tell her how be bad longed to look up
on her face, and how that until the clock
struck two, he could see, but after that,
though he strained every nerve, he lay in
the shadow or death. Ono hour she pillow
ed his head upon her suffering breast and
then—he was at rest.
But for the grudging or thoughtless ex
action of her mistress., mile had ono wore
seen the lovelight flash in her husband's
eyes, and he have looked upon her who was
so dear.
Msry, Mary dear, ho kind to your washer
won►an. Instead of making her work as
long as may be, shorten it, lighten it.
Few women will go out to daily washing
unless their needs are terrible. No woman
on her bridal day expects to labor in that
way ; and be sure, my niece, if constrained
to do so, it is the last resort. The poor
woman, laboring so hard for you, has not
always been a washer woman. She has
seen awful trials, too. I can read her story
in her pale, sad race. Be kind to her, pay
all she asks, and let her go home as early as
you can.
"You have finished in good season to-day,
Sump," said Mrs. Merton, as the washer
woman, with her old cloak and hood on,
entered the pleasant chamber to ask for her
pay
"Yes ma'am, that 1 have; and my heart
ma'am is relieved of a heavy load. 1 was
so afraid I should be kept till night, and I
am needed so ut home."
"Have you any sickness there ?" asked
aunt Hannah, kindly.
Tears gushed to the poor woman's eyes as
she answered. "Ah ma'am, I left my ba
by must dead this morning ; he will be quite
so to morrow. I know it, I've seen it too
many times, and none but a child of Mee
years to tend it. Oh, I must go, and quick
ly." And grasping the hard earned money
which she had toiled for while her baby was
dying that when dead it might have a decent
shroud, she hurried to her home.
They followed her—the young wife who
had never known sorrow, and the aged
matron whose hair was white with trouble
—followed her to r her home ; the home of
the drunkard's wife, the wretched ham of
the drunkard's babes. She was not too late.

1,,,,,t;01u, shut the bright eyes, straightened
the tiny limits, bathed the cold clay, and
wrapped about it the pure white shroud.—
Yes, and did more. They gave what the
poor so seldom have—time to weep.
"0, aunt," said Mrs. Merton, with tears
in her eyes, as, having seen the little cotton
ed babe borne to its last home, they returned
to heir own happy one, "it' my heart blesses
you, how much more must poor Susan's,
Had it not been for you she would have
been too late—the baby would not have
known his mother. It has been a sad yet
holy lesson. I shall always be kind to the
poor washerwoman. But aunt, was the
story you told me a true one—all true I
mean?'
"Tho reality of that story whitened my
head when it bad seen but thirty summers,
and the memory of it has been one of the
keenest sorrows. It is not strange that I
should pity the poor washer-woman. Ada-
Eno and aunt Hannah are one and the
same."
A FALLEN STAR.—Some ten years ago, a
lady, the daughter of a distinguished mer
chant of Cincinnati, became enamored of a
young man then clerking in her father's
store. The parents opposed the marriage,
and the scarcely formed engagement was
broken off. Soon afterward she disappear
ed from her home, and a year subsequently
was discovered leading an abandoned life in
St. Louis. Young, beautiful and educated,
she was nevertheless thoroughly depraved.
Her parents made every endeavor to re.
store her to her home, but in vain. Fas
cinated with the allurements of her vicious
career, she could not be weaned from it.
Two days ago this woman, once es!) nattered
and caressed by society, so fitted to adorn its
high circles, was brought to the Central sta.
tion in this city in esescheelbarrow, picked
up in the street in a state of utter drunk
enness. She still preserves the traces of
the remarkable beauty that once won the
hearts of all who saw her. But the day of
her prosperity is over, and she is rapidly
descending the path that leads to a pauper's
grave. A few now would recognise in the
features of Sallie Dean, the belle and beauty
of the Western metropolis.--Neso Orleans

HOW HE CAME TO DO IT.
It may be funny, but I've done it. I've
got a rib and a baby. Shadows departed—
oyster stews, brandy cocktails, cigar boxes,
boot jacks, absconding shirt buttons, whist,
and demijohn.% Shadows present—hoop
skirts, bandboxes, ribbons, gaiters, long
stockings, juvenile dresses, tin trumpets,
Halo willow chairs, cradles, bibs, pap, sugar
teats, paregoric, hive syrup, castor oil, God
frey's cordial, soothing syrup, rhubarb, sen
na, salts, alias, and doctorbills—Shadows
future—morn proud babies, more hive syrup,
&c., &c. I'll just tell you how I got caught.
I was'almost the darndest,lmeed tea-custard
bashful fellow you over did see ; it was kin
der in.my line to be taken with the shakes
every time I saw a pretty gal approaching
ine, and I'd cross the street any time rather
than face ono. 'Twaan't because I didn't
like the critters, for if I was behind a fence
looking through a knot-hole I couldn't look
at one long enough. Well, my; sister Lib
gave a party one night, and I staid sway
flute home because!' was too bashful to face
the music. I hung around the house,
whistling "Old Dan Tucker," dancing to
keep my foot warm, watching the heads
bobbing up and down behind the window
curtains, and wishing the thundering party
would break up so I could get to my room.
I smoked up a bunch of cigars, and as it
was getting late and mighty uncomfortable,
I concluded to shin up the door post. No
sooner said than done, and I soon put my-
self in bed.
"Now," says I, "let her rip 1
,Dance till
your windlgives out!" And cuddling under
the quilts, Morpheus grabbed me.
I was dreaming of soft shell crabs and
stewed tripe, and was having a good time
when somebody knocked at the door and
woke me up. "Rap" again. I laid low,
"Rap, rap, rap !" Then I heard a whis
pering and I knew there was a whole raft of
girls outside. "Rap, rap!" Then Lib
sings out:
"Jack, are you in there ?"
"Yes," bays I.
Then came a roar of laughter.
"Let us in," says she.
"I won't," says I ; "can't you let
alone?"
"Are you a-bed?" says she.
"I mu," says L.
"Get out," says she.
"I won't," says I.
Then came another laugh.
By thunder !",Mbegan to get riled.
"Get out, you petticoated scarecrows!" I
cried; "can't you get a beau without haul
ing'aa fellow out of bed ? I won't go home
with you—l won't—so you may clear out !';
And throwing a boot at the door I felt
better. But presently, oh, mortal buttons,
I heard a still, small voice, very much like
Lib's, and it said:
"Jack, you'll have to get up, for all the
girls' things are there I"
Oh, Lord, what a pickle I Think of sue
in bed, all covered with shawls, muffs, bon.
nets, avid cloaks, and twenty girls outside
the door waiting to get in! If I had stop
ped to think I should have pancaked on the
spot. As it was, 1 rolled out among the
bonnetware and ribbons in a hurry. Smash
went the millinery in every direction. I
bad to dress in the dark—for there was a
crack in the door, and the girls aill peep—
and the way I fumbled about was death on
straw hats. The critical moment came. 1
opened the door and found] myself right
among the women.
"Oh, my Leghorn!' cries one. "My
dear, darling winter velvet I" cried another,
and pitched in—Sal —; her name was—
put her arms around my neck, and kissed
me right on toy lips. Human nature
couldn't stand that, end I gave her as good

got a taste, and it was powerful geed. I
believe I could have kissed Julius Ctesar to

"Jack," said she, "we are sorry to dis
turb you, but won't you see me home?"
"Yes," said I, "1 will."
I did do it, and had another smack at the
gate too. After that we took a kinder tur

away from each other; 'Twas at the close
of a glorious summer day—the sun was set
ting behind a distant hen-roost—the bull
frogs were commencing their evening songs,
the polly-wogs, in their native mud puddles,
were preparing themselves for the shades of
night—and Sal and myself sat upon an an
tiquated black log listening to the music of
nature, such as tree toads, roosters, and
grunting pigs, and now and then the mellow
music of distant jackasses was wafted to
our cars by the gentle zephyrs that sighed
among the tuellan stalks, and came heavy
laden with the delicious odor of' hen•roosts
and pig.styes. The last lingering rsys of
the setting sun, glancing from the buttons

knot-hole in a hog-pen full in Sal's face
dying her hair an orange-peel hue, and
showing off my threadbare coat to bad ad
vantage—one of my arms was around Sal's
waist, my hand around the small of her
back—she was toying with ray auburn locks
—and—and she was almost gone, and I was
ditto. She looked at me like a grasshopper
dying with the hiccups, and I felt like a
mud-turtle choked with a codfish ball.
"Sal," says I, is a voice as musicales the
notes of a dying swan, "will you have me?"
She turned her eyes heavenward, grasped
me by the hand, bad an attack of the heaves
and blind staggers, sad with a sigh that
drew li t er shoe-strings to hot palate, aid

She gave blear out and squatted in my
hip, she cork•acrewed and eircienflured and
rolled in. I hugged her till I broke my

cussed fellow had dropped a banana skin on
the floor and it floored me. I split an aw

Rebellion Verna Civil War.
Sugar coated pills are easily swallowed ;
and perhaps if we were to mix a great deal
of milk and sugar with a very hub unflat
tering truth, we might induce oven 'loyal"
men to swallow it. It will not be denied
that, so far as a standing army and the
Freedman's Bureau are concerned, there
would bo no necessity for such co.aly estab
lishments if it ,tore not Mated to tie right
to punish rebels by disfranchisement fur the
part they took in the war.
Now let us ask a few questions, to which
we would like to have fair answers-
I. Was the terrible war in which we were
for four years:eneaged a rebellion ?
A rebellion is an act of war by persons
against a government to which they owe al
legiance: but our war was brought on by the
invasion of the southern Suites by the Fed
eral government. For more than two years
the war was carried on by the Federal gov
ernment entirely in the southern States and
when the prominent southern men engaged
in it were asked what they wanted, they re
peatedly replied that they only desired "to
be let alone," The southern States had
confederated for the purpose of establishing
a separate government; and the citizens of
those States were placed in such a position
that they were compelled to assume au atti
tude of hostility to the general government
or to the government of the State to which
they owed obedience and allegiance. Will
it be pretended that an individual may justly
be placed in such an attitude? Or will it
be pretended that a citizen of a southern
State, desiring to support the Federal gov
ernment, had any protection from it?
Perhaps we shall hear it said that the
paramount duty of (eery oric is to the Fed
eral government; let us grant this, and what
then? The Congitntion is the supreme law
of that government, and it is well known
that northern States had violated that law
long before the war began. Were southern
States any more culpable in disregarding that
law than northern States were? And so to
individuals, what could they do when the
government, claiming their allegiance, re
fused or was powerless to protect them in
it?
2. Were those engaged in the effort to
separate the southern States from the Fed
eral Union traitors?
lf theyovere, it is most remarkable that
none of them have been tried and punished
for the crime of tremon. And is it dot a
monstrous outrage upon jubilee and decency
to punish whole communities, where no one
has been legally convicted of any crime ?
3. Is it net well known that the party
which has been dominant for the last eight
years has berAt for a long time endeavoring
to provol:e tilities, and that they spurn
ed die Union and the Constitution so soon
as the war was over?
It is a mockery of language to call s State
a "rebel," and, inasmuch tu, the individual
who yields obedience to the government of
the State of which he is a citizen cannot be
either a rebel or a traitor, there can be no
propriety is now applying those offensive
names to southern men engaged in the re
cent war.
Those who have manliness enough to ens,•
ble them to recognize possible truths should
not hesitate to acknowledge that the people
of the two sections of our country wore en•
gaged in a terrible civil war, which was pro
voked by selfish factionists in both sections,
and a very small amount of generosity
should induce them to give credit to those
southern men who fought bravely while there
was any hope of success, and acknowledged
their defeat when their power was exhaust.
ed. Not only have the southern people
accepted defeat, but they hive refrained
from armed resistance to the most gross acts
of tyranny. The insult put upon, them by
depriving their most intelligent men of
their rights of citizenship, and giving the
elective franchise to negroes, is unworthy of
any people pretending to any sense of right
and fair dealing ; and it is very plain that
it can aeoorplish no good *sot.
