THE OLD CARTMAN.
4 From the San Francisco Golden Ira ]
1 h4ve a mind to tell a little story. That
it is brief, may be seen at a glance; that
it's true I most emphatically avow. If the
reieli•ti de..pise it because of the first, or the
editor;, of the Era reject it for the reason
of thelliust, then I will eschew truth in the
fuiuro and devote myself to the elabora
tion of hes into chapters anti the purest
fictions into voltunee of seventeen hundred
page,. each.
With thi, understanding, I proceed at
once to remark that five years ago, or there
abouts, John Ainsley—or "Pap Ainaley,"
aA he was familiarly called—was the owner
of a hand cart, and earned a living by con
veying miscellaneous pawls from one sec
tion of the city to another, and receiving
therefor the reasonable rentuneration of fit
t) cents per load. To designate the occu
t ion in the prosiest language possible, he
11, a hand-cart man, and when not em
ployed, could always be found during
working hours at the corner of Montgomery
and California streets. His hair and long
beard were quite gray and his limbs feeble;
and if he could not shove as heavy a load
through the deep sand or up the steep grade
above him as the stalwart Teuton on the
opposite corner, thereby losing many ajob
and many a dollar, all the light loads in
the neighborhood fell to his lot, and kind
hearted men re4 ,- eisiteeplismiairtrarreten
s,..ittart• or two out of t heir way to give an easy
jot , to ••Pap AinAey.' *
Four years ago last September. (I recol
lect the month, for I had a note of four
thousand dollars to pay. and was compelled
to do some pretty sharp financiering to meet
it.l having two or three dozen volumes to
trazisicr to my lodging, I gave Pap Ainsley

Neu York. 110 lad one child, a daughter.
While attondin a boarding school in that
eity. then a girl f sixteen years of age, she
termed an attac ment for a young physi
cian.
eian. Acquain ing her father of the cir
(ii nista nee-, he tly refused his consent to
her union with i man whom he had never
seen; and removing her from school, dis
patched a note In the young gallant, with
the somewhat pointed information, that
his presence in the neighborhood of the
Ainsley farm would not meet with favor.—

In less than a month there was an elope
ment. The father loaded his double-bar
relled shot-gun, and swore vengeance, but
failing to find the fugitives, he took to the
bottle. 1i is good wife implored him not to
give way to ,iespair, but he drank the deep
er, and accused her of encouraging the
elopement. In three moths the wife died.
and at the expiration of a year, when the
young couple returned to Syracuse from
Connecticut, where they had remained with
the parents of the husband, they learned
that the old man had sold his farm, squan
dered the proceeds, and was almost desti

drank himself into a frenzy, and proceeded

arm with a pistol shot, and then attempt

tried and acquitted on the plea of insanity.
The daughter and her husband returned
to Connecticut, since which time the fath

What a Blind Ilan can Do
The Springfield Rtpdflican gives the en

achievements of a blind genius now lit ing
in Ludlow:
Ho is a young man. ta ent) -tbur ~t

Tears old, and who does not remember that
he ever saw. The circumstances which at
tended the loss of his vision are almiist too
horrible for belief; yet we hare no reason
to doubt them as they have been related to
us. His widowed mother married a drunk
ard, and his step-father, conceiving a aptte
against the child, undertook, when intoxi
cated, to put his eyes out. tioing further
in his diabolical purpose, he was about to
thrust a red-hot poker down his throat.
when the frightened but desperate mother
interfered and prevented it. The child wit.-

that the sclerotic coat of each was burst.—
Of all this he has no memory, and a blessed
thing it is for him. At nine years of age,
he lost his mother, and in that loss became
perfectly friendless.—From that day to this
he has mainly taken care of himself; and
now, although cheated by rascally agents.
and laboring under every possible disad
vantage, has money at interest !
Now let us see what this man has done.
He is a mechanic and knows every part of
a steam engine as well as if he could see.—
He is an engineer, has not only had charge
of stationary engines, but has run as en
gineer on the Mad River Railroad of Ohio!
Of course, he ran with a look out, and be
tween his lookout and himself he had ar
ranged a series of abbreviations of language,
so that he could learn from him the posi
tion of any object on the track instantane
ously. He was engineer, let it be remem
bered of a passenger train ! What is more
remarkable than all is, that he has made a
beautiful little steam engine with his own
hands, so small that hetan carry the whole
of it in hispocket,., and get up steam at
pleasure. This -B ight well be considered
accomplishmeds enough for one blind man
but this istrot a bginning.

a voice which, in many charac- j
' tics, is without doubt the most won

eveninr of the present week he was invited
to a prrvate house in this -city to give an '
exhibition of his musical abilities, and a
few musical hien and women were invited
to hear him, all of whom will bear testi
mony to their astonishment and delight. '
We suppose that all Musical people will
shrug their shoulders with incredulity,
when we tell them that his voice has the ,
compass of five octaves ; yet such is the bat '
that be demonstrated to this company.--
Of course, the lowest notes are guttural.
and the highest' falsetto ; but the falsetto
notes are pleasant and good, and the gut
turals true tones, and as musical se such
tones can be. We are not sufficiently
versed in musical terms to tell what his
lowest note is, but it is the lowest in the
piano, arranged upon the usual scale—or
triple C, as he calls it. His chest tones are
excellent ; and although Carl Formes may
have more power, his quality is no better,
while in his low notes he goes down “out
of sight" of Carl Formes altogether. We
can gkis no ides'of this voice by any com
parison, for we have never heard a voice
with which to compare it.

THE SACRIFICE
From tkup Widatuxian and aitiketor
"There, Mary—now don't you think I
deserve to be called a pretty good husband?"
laughed the youhg man a►r he dropped
down in theiady's palm half a dozen gold
pieces.
"Yes, you are, Edward, the very best
husband in the world," and she lifted up
her sweet face beaming with smiles, as a
June day with sunshine.
"Thank you, thank you, for the very
dattoring words. And now, dear, I want
you to have the cloak by next Christmas.
I'm anxious to ree how you will look in
it."
"But, Edward," gating seriously at the
shining pieces in her rosy palm, "yon know
we are not rich people, and it really seems
a piece of extravagance for me to give thirty
dollars for a velvet cloak."
' ,l lCo,lliii not, either. You de,erve the
cloak, Mary, and I've set my mind upon
your having it. Then, it'll last you so many
years, that it will be more economical in
the end than a less expensive article."
It was evident the lady was predisposed
to conviction. She made no further at
tempt to refuse her husband's arguments,
and her small fingers closed over the gold
pieces, as she rose up saying. "Well, dear,
the supper has been waiting half an hour,
and I know you must be hungry."
Edward and Mary Clark were the hus
band and wife of a year. He was a book
keeper in a ltirge establishment, with a sal
ary of fifteen hundred dollars His fair
young wife made a little earthly paradise
of his cottage home in the suburbs of the
city, for within its walls dwelt two lives
that were set like music to poetry, keeping
time to each other. And here dwelt, also,
thatwhich God giveth to those who
alovehim.ee
Mrs. Clark came into the sitting-room
suddenly, and the girl lifted her head, and
then turned it away quickly, but not until
the first,glance told the lady that the fair
face wastavrollen and stained with tears.
Janet Hill was a young seamstress whom.
Mrs. Clark had occasionally employed for
the last six months. She was always at
tracted by her young bright face, her mod
est yet dignified manner, and now the lady
saw at once that some great sorrow had
smitten the girl.
Obeying the promptings of a warm, im
pulsive heart, she went to her and laid her
hand 'on" her arm, raying softly, "Won't
you tell!me what is troubling you, Janet?"
" Nothing that anybody can help." an
swered the girl, trying still to avert her
face, while the tears swelled in her eyes
from the effort she made to speak.
But perhaps I can. At any rate you
know, it does us good sometimes to confide
our sorrows to a friend, and I need not as
sure you that I sincerely grieve because of
your distress."
And do with kind words and half-caress
ing moviements, of the little band, laid on
the seamstress's arm, Mrs. C. drew from
her lips, her sad story.
She was an orphan, supporting herself
E l y her daily - labors, and she had one broth
er,- just sixteen, three years her junior.—
He had been for some time a kind of under
clerk, in a Large wholesale establishment,
where there was every prospect of his pro
motion ; but he had seriously injured him
self in the summer by lifting some heavy
bales of goods, and at last a dangerous fever
set in, which had finally left him in so ex
hausted a state that the Doctor despaired
of his recovery.
"And to think I shall never see him more,
Mrs. Clark," cried the poor girl. with a
fresh burst of tears. "To think he must
die away there, among strangers, in the
hospital, with no loving face to bend over
him in his last hours, or brush away the
dampenrls from the forehead which =lnv
ma-used to be so proud of. o—George—
my darling bright-faced little brother
George," and here the poor girl broke
down in a storm of tears.
-Poor child, poor child," murmered
Mrs. Clark, her sweet eyed; swimming
with tears. "Row much would it cost for
you to go to your brother and return?"
she asked at last.
"About thirty dollars. I haven't so
much money in the world. You see, it's
nearly four hundred miles off ; but-I could
to supportmyself after I got there.
mlu A u rought passed quickly through Mrs.
Clark's mind. She stood still a few me
meats, her blue eye fined in deep medi
tation. At last she said kindly, "Well.
my child try and bear up bravely, and
we will see what an be done for you,"
and the warm; cheerful tones comforted
the sad hems of the seastuttrees.
• The lady west up debs and took the
pieces out - of her ivory portemonnaie.
There was a brief sharp struggle in her
mind. "SomehOw I've set my heart on
this velvet cloak," she thought. "and
Edward will be disappointed. I was go.
ing to select the velvet this very .after
noon. But then. there's that dying boy
lying there with strange faces all about
him, and longinf, as the slow hours go by,
fora sight of a sister that Ores him, and
would not the - thought haunt me every
time I pet on my new cloak! After all,

ni‘suri over to my way of thinlking.
you must go without a cloak this time,
and have the pleasure of knowing you've
smoothed the prath going down to the
valley of the sha do w dfttit, Mary Clark."
And she closed the port-monnaie reeointa
ly, and went down stairs.
"Janet, put up your work this moment
—there is no time to be lost. Hate is the
money. Take it and go to your brother."
The girl lifted up her eyes a moment,
almost in bewilderment, to the lady, and
then, as she comprehended the truth, the
cry of such joy broke from her lips, that its
memory never faded from the heart thro'
all the after years of Mrs. Clark's life.
IN ADVANCE
NUMBER 9.
"George! George !" The words leaped
from her lips, as the sister sprang forward
to the low bed where the youth la, his
white, sharpened face, gleaming deat h-like
from amidst his thick yellow curls.
He opened his large eyes suddenly—s
flush passed over his pallid face. He
stretched out his thin arms : "0 Janet I
Janet ! I have prayed God for the sight of
you once more before I die."
"His pulse is stronger than it has been
for two weeks, and his face has a better
hue," said the Doctor, a few hours later, as
he made his morning visit through the
wards of the hospital.
"His sister came yesterday, and watched
with him," answered the attendant, glanc
ing at the young girl, who hung breathless
over the sleeping invalid.
"Ah, that explains it. I'm not certain
but that the young man has recuperative
power enough left to recover, if he could
have the care and tenderness for the next
two months, which love alone can furnish."
Flow Janet's heart leaped at the blessed
words ! That very morning she had an
interview with her brother's employers.—
They had been careless, but not intention.
ally unkind, and the girl's story onlim.r.ti
their sympathies.
In a day or two, George was removitti
a quiet, comfortable private home, and his
sister installed herself by his couch, his
nurse and comforter.
Three years have passed. The shadows
of the night were dropping already around.
Mrs. Clark sat in her chamber, humming
a nursery tune, to which the cradle kept a
sort of rythmic movement. Sometimes
she would pause suddenly, and adjust the
snowy blankets around the face of tho lit
le slurnberer, shinixwout from their brown
curls as red apple shine out amid fading
leaves in October orchards. "Sh—sb."
said the young mother, as she lifted her
finger with a smiling warning, as her hus
band entered.
"There's something foryou, Mary. It
came by expre , s this afternoon," he said
the words in an undertone, placing a small
packet in her lap
The lady opened the packet with eyes
filled with wonder, while her husband
leaned over her shoulder and watched her
movements.
A white box disclosed itself, and remov

elegantly c hunting watch. She lift

touching the spring, the case flew back
and on the inside was engrared these words,
"lb Mrs. Mary Clark In Inken of tAellfe she

- 0, Edward, it must have come from
George and Janet Hill," exclaimed the
lady and the quick tears leaped into her
eyes. "You know she's been with him
ever since that time, and she wrote me last
spring, that he'd obtained an excellent
situation as head clerk in the firm. What
an exquisite gift, and how I shall value it.
Not simply for itself, either."
"Well, Mary, you were in tire right then.
though I'm sorry to say, I was half vexed
with you, for giving up your velvet cloak,
and you're not had one yet."
No, I've not had one, but I've neve'
regretted it." She said the words with hei
eyes fastened admiringly on the beautiful
"Nor I, Marv. for 1 cannot doubt that
your aacrifice bought the young man's
life."
"0, sit) those w ords aain, Edward.—
Blessed be God for them , ' added the lady,

The husband drew his arm around Lus
wife, and murmured reverently, "Blessed
be God, Mary, who put it into your heart

A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE.—The man who
stands upon his own soil, who feels that
by the law of the land in which he lives--
by the laws of civilised nations—he is the
rightful and exclusive owner of the land
which he tills, is, by the constitution of
our nature, under the wholesome influ
ence not easily inbibed from any other
source. 'He feels—other things being
equal—more strongly than another the
character of a man as lord of an animated
world Of this great and wonderful where,
which, fashioned by the hand of God, and
upheld by his power, is rolling through the
heavens, a part is his—his from centre to
the sky. It is the space on which the
generation before moved in its round of
duties, and he feels himself connected by
visible link with those who follow him,
and to whom he has to transmit a home.
Perhaps his farm has come down to him
