TEE TWO TROUBLES.
IL was a cold, dismal evening in No
vember that two laborers might have
been seen Wending their way along the
streets of a large Manufacturing town..
Slowly they proceeded with dejected
countenances, noe , exchanging a word
until the, ono whom we shall call Smith
halted before a neat little house and'
unlatched the gate. Then there
,was
such a look of natr misery and despair
glee-111111g Time his eyes, that his cent
paition murmured, -‘ We mug, trust in
God, Smith.',.
„ Yes,' be arlicultded aml

Ilis_ voice trembled as lie replied,

as la,t. I base been discharL;ed.' .
_LTltere I . exclaimed his wife quickly,
pushing back her , chair; 'just what I
might have expected I I'd like to know
what we are going to do now—whiter
upon us. 1 declare, Smith, pm will tor
ture me to death.'
I am very 'sorry, Lydia, bet I cannot
help it.' j.
'Sorry ! No,' You arc not sorry at all.
`You would just as lief see your wife and
children starved If not. It's nothing-in
the world but your poor managing.'
'Lydia, you ate cruel. Instead of
help me to endure my great tinuble,
which; bearing 1110 down to the very
earth, you make it, tell times harjer for
me to berar. I was not the only one dis
charged. There was Jim „Hawley and
ever so many othei:s. Business is dull.'
'Business is (Nib? she mimicked after
him. 'Always au excuse for a worth

and the» we ;ire out of wood ; and look
at my shoes, won't you '." nib feet on the
gl'ortud. I wish I had never married
you,' and a dank look :mcompanied the
words. The poor'husband now covered
his face with hauls and, groaned
aloud. This . scoMed to encourage Its
wife Lit go on.;--for she uttered words
mole anal more bitter, until at last
drivemalmost to a slate ol; frenzy, the
wretched eau rushed from the house to
the tavern, and thew sought to tatty the
thonghts•of the past and future in the
rum ctrpt.
TO the• meantime James Hawkis 4 l his
companion iu labor, came(' his home
with a sad countenance. But before he
had stepped over the threshold a loving
pale of arms were thrown around his
neck and a pair of sweet lips were'
pressed to his. He returned the saluta
tion sadly, and then inquired fur the
baby.
'She is hleeping.sweetly in her eiaillo.
She.haS been a perfect little. darling all
day. Supper is waiting, so make haste.
Here is warm water and a towel. Are
you not later than usual to-night ?'
` Yes, Mary ; I bring bad notes to
MIN
`Bad news I' she .exclaimed turning
pale, as for the first , time she noticed
that something was wrong. . ,
Yes ; I was discharged tonight, and
do not know as I can got. -tiaythiUg to
do before Spring. Business is so dull.'
'ls that all ?' asked his wife, with a
sigh of I thought- it was some
thing terrible, the way you looked.'
And is it not tertible enough? What
will become of us this winter if I am
out of employmout
• 'Thets`no. God Who- feeds the spar
/lily and clothes the lilies of the
will not lot us suffer, dear James.'
Goa bless you, Mary. There is sweet
comfort iu your words.'
`And noiv' let us have supper,'-ex
elahned the wifp cheerfully. See, I
havii your favorite dish—shortcake acid
tofi - St. Do not let , our troubles impair
yourappelite, and then, after lea, we'll
talk Dod.dneth. everything for
,the best. And as our day, so shall our
strength be.'
In the evening it was determiad that
the quarter's rent should be paid imme
diately, and a new supply. of coal ob
tained, and the rdmainhig portion of the .
' money placed 'in the wife's 'hands to be
.dealt with as sparingly as 'possible.
Then Mary suggested that all her
pintty parlor .furniture should bd
,put
away in the garret, and the trent room
lot out. Further than this' they could
lay no plans, and as thq husband Went
Out to pay the rent, the future looked so
dark to. the young wife that she could
not altogether restrain her tears ; but
vseeing - strength from on high, her face
wore the same" ° cheerful smile when her
husband returned, and little did he knoW
that during all that night long, while ho
and his baby , were soundly alsoping, his
wife lay awake planning for the future.

With feeling,4cir deep despair be en

with the same favorite dish, TheroWas

golden lump of butter, a plate of honey
and a deep dish of roasted apples, to be
served with sugar and cream, while at
his wife's plate sat the liteaming tea-pot.
As James took it in, all at one ho

him, and 3-ot, he could not help 'wishing
inwardly that she had been more eco

soft tone, and tripped up stairs and soon

e'rtgrly, turning them oyer on his hands
as though to ascertain whether they
were rrally genuine or not.

ONE SERMON ON SUNDAY BETTER

Seribmcp's Monthly for "gareh : •
The world has been.preached to pretty
thoroughly for the last hundred years.
The ad/or:ales of many sermons have
had it all their (own way, and we should
like to ask them whether the results of

them 7 What pm eacher is there who has
not been mthousand times discouraged
by the re..,ult or his labors in the pulpit'?
How smotll are the encroachments made
, upon the world by it l' :With all our
preaching in Adnerica z -and wo have had
more of it,. and better than has been en
joyed in ally other country—we should,
lailt for the prevalence ..and power of
Sunday Schools, have drifted half way
back to bath:m:sm by this time. 'Preach

to the first question is, that no ono
leave 'our ciurell'.who is worth any

that 'whether the young will go to iVorse

NEW TORN I 2 THE OLDEN TIME.
A OLIIIF§.E OF DUTCH SOCIETY
Mr. Stone, in his history of New 'York,
gives the following :Mccich of manners
and customs under Dutch rule :
The Deitch of New Amsterdam ware
distinguished for their good nature,, love
of home and cordial hospitality. Fast
young men, kito hours and fashionable
dissipation 'were unknown. There was,
nevertheless, plenty of opportunity for
healthful recreation. Holidays were
abundant, each family having some of
its own, such .as birthdays, christenings
and marriage anniversaries. Each sea
son,. too, introduced its own peculiar and
social festivals—the Quilting, Apple
raising and Husking Bees. The work
on such occasions was soon finished,
after which the guests sat down to a sup
per,. well supplied with chocolate and
wattles, the evening terminating with a
merry dance. . Dancing was a favorite
amusement. The slaves dances to the
music of their rude instruments in the
markets ; while the maidens and youths
practiced the same amusement at their
social parties and around the May Polo
on the Bowlitig Green
'l3inUer parties' in these primitive,
days were unknown ; but this .seeming
lack of social intercourse was MOM than'
made up by well-known and numerous
tea parties. To 'take tea out' was a
Dutch institution, and one of great im
portance. The matrons, arrayed in their
best petticoats and linsey jackets, home
spun. by. their own wheels, would proceed
on the intended afternoon visit. They
wore capacious pockets, with scissors,
pincushion and keys hanging from their
girdle, outside of their dress ; and reach
ing the neighbor's house, the visitors in
dustrioutly..used knitting needles and
tongues at the same time. The village
gossip -was talked over, neighbors' affairs
settled and the stockings finished by tea
i time, when the important mealappeared
on the table at precisely six o'clock.
This was always the.- occasion for the
display of the family plate, with the
Lilliputian cups, of rate old "family
china, out of which ,the' guests sipped
the fragrant herb. A large lunip of loaf
sugar invariably accompanied each cup,
on a little plate, and the delightful
beverage was sweetened by an occasion-,
able nibble, amid the inure solid articles
of waffles and DutchAuglnutS. •
• A model house - Vapor rose at cock
crowing, • breakfasted with the dawn,
and proceeded to the duties of the day,
and when the sun reached the meridian
or• noon mark, dinner, which was strictly
a family meal, was on the table. This
,domestic timepiece answered every pur
pose, so regular were -the hours and lives
of the people. At onetime there were
not more' than half a dozen clocks in
New Amsterdam, with about . the same
number of - watches. But they were
strikingly peculiar its one respect ; •they
wore scarcely ever known to go. and
hence were of very little practicaLutilitY-
No watchmaker had yet found it profit
able to visit the settlement ; and this was
a period two centuries before the inven
tion of Yankee clocks. For a long while. ,
time was marked hrhour glasses and sun
dials. -
In ono corner of the room always stood
the huge oaken iron-bound chost, brim
ful of household Brion, spun by the
ladies of the family, who delighted to
display Allow domestic riches to their
visitors:— Later, this plain wardrobe
gave place to the chest of drawers, ono
reached the coiling, with its Shining brass
rings and key-holes. The bookcase,
too, with its complicated writing-desk,
mysterious seera-drawers and pigeon
holes, came into • use about the same
period, though both were unknown to
the early Knickerbockers. Biileboards
were not introduced into Now Amster
dam until after the American revolution
and were entire] y of English origin.
The round tea-tablo . also 'occupied a"
place in the corner of the parlor,
while tho largo square dining-table
stood 'in the kitchen for daily use.
In another cornerr s stood the well-known
'Holland cupboard, with glass doors, con
spicuously displaying the family plate
and porcelain. Little looking glasses in
narrow black frames were in common
use ; two or three only of
,the wealthiest
burghers possessing larger mirrors, elabo
rately ornamented with .gilding and
flowers. About 1730 the sconce came in
fashion--a hanging cr projecting candle ,
stielc, with a mirror to refloat its rays.
This was a very sliciwy article, giving a
flue light,to the rooms. After this pe
riod, pier and mantle-glasses came into
fashin. Pictures, einsh as they wore,
.aboundild ; but they Ware, for the most
part, poor engralngs of Dutch cities
'Find naval .engagements. Chintz calico

dow-curtains, without cornices. ..
Thoro woro no carpets among the
Dutch; nor any in, general use among tho
NoW,Yorkera until up to the period of
the --Il4volTion. The 'famouis Captain.
-Kidd, it is said, owned the. first modern
carpet in his best room, and. the Pirato'a
house was tho best furnished in the Oily.
It was made, of Turhoy Work, at a cost
of twenty-live dollars, and resembled ,a

jag of lounges or sofas, or (won of that
col fortable AmeriCan invention, the,
rocking chair. Their best chairs were
straight and high-yeked, covered with
Russian Ica - titer * and,',lelabOratoly orna-
Mented with double and triple rows of
brass nails. In addition to these, the par
lor Was decorated with ono or two chairs
baying embroidered seats and backs, the
hatidiwtirk of the daughters. Some of
the oldest families also displayed in their
best rooms two chairs with cushions of
tapestry or velvet trimmed with lace!
About tge,year 1700 cane
..seats became
fashionable, and thirty years after came
the leather chairs, worth from five to ton
'dollars each. These led the fashion
abotit thirty years more, who'll mahogany
an - i — valrffteltairsovitlrtheicerirm. -
sou damask cushion's, appeared.
But the most ornamental piece of fur
nituro in the parlor was the bed, with
its heavy curtains and valance of cam
let. No mattresses then, but a substan
tial bed of Live geese feathers, with a
very light one of doWn for the covering.
These beds were the boast and pride of
the most respectable Dutch matrons,
and, with their welMllled chests of home
made linen, supplied their skill in house
keeping. A cheek covering cased the•
bed and pillows ; the shoots were made.
of homespun linen ; and over the whole
was thrown a bed quilt of patch-work,
wrought into every conceivable shape
and pattern.
The Sundays in Now Amsterdam
were, moreover, bettor observed by its
inhabitants than at the present day.
All classes, arrayed in their best, then
attended the public services of religion ;
and the people almost exclusively Calvin
ists,- attended the Dutch- Reformed.
Church. The v lreeck' or boll ringer
and sexton, was MI important personage
on the. Sabbath. He not only summoned
the congregation by the sound of the
church going bell, but formed a -pro
cession of himself and his assistants to
carry the cushions of the burgomasters
and schepons„from the City Hall to the
pews appropfiated to these officials. At
the same time the Schout went his
rounds, to see that quiet was kept in the
•streets during Divine worship, and also
to stop the games of the negro slaves and
Indians—to whom the Sabbath was
allowed as a day of recreation, excent,
during church hours.
Small pieces of vrant punt were obtained
by the deacons, and sold at great value
to tho heads of the Dutch families. •
These, having been distributed among
the different members of families, were
then taken to church, and deposited in
the collection bags, which were attached
to long poles. Such was the custom a
long while ; ' nor, in some of the interior
Dutch settlements, has it been entirely
abandoned at the present day. For
merly a small boll was attached to the
bottom of the bags, to remind the drowsy
of the collection. The deacons, being
thus prepared to receive the benefac
tions of the congregation, presented.
themselves In front of the pulpit, when,
the dominio haviCa,addressed a few ap
propriate words to them, they forthwith,
proceeded to collect the contributions.
At that day also the " Koorleser," or
clerk, occupied a little pow In front of
the pulpit, bolding in his hand a rod, on
the cud of which all notices Were placed
and thins passed up to the domiuie. The
moment the minister reached the pulpit
stairs lie offered a private prayer, hold
ing his hat before his face until having •
sought the aid of the Lord and Master,
he ascended the sacred desk.
The Dutch ladies wore no bonnets, as
is still tho fashion with some of the Gor
man emigrants, who now arrive at Castle
°Motion. At New Amsterdam - the fash
ionable dress was a colored petticoat,
rather short (for °see in walking), waist
jacket, colored hose of homespun wool,
and l l2igh-heeled shoe's, snitable to a city
destituto of pavements or sidewalks of
any kind. The Dutch burghers wore
long waisted coats, with skirts reaching
almost to ,their ankles, and adorned with
large silver. buttons. The. Wardrobe Of k
burgomaster at the transfer of NOT/ Am,
sterdam to the British, was 'as follows :
A cloth coat; with - silver buttons, worth
fiftcen•dollars ; a stuff coat, ton dollars ;
cloth cent, with stump buttons, seven
dollars ; a black velvet coat, fifteen dol
lars ; a silk coat, breeches and doublet,
six dollars ; silver cloth waistcoat, with
silver lace, five dollars ; a buff coat and
silver sleeves, live dollars ; three gritetiS'
green cloaks, six dollars each ;. besides'
several old suits. To these also must be
added linen, hos*, shoes with silver
buckles, a cane with an ivory head, and
a hat. It may be doubted if our present
mayors, with all their cloths au<l .cassi
mere, posscsS oven ono tithe of such an
assortment of coats, pantaloons and vests
as this otiloial Dutchman, their predeces
sor, ye olden limo.'
• Two YMiltees strolling in the woods
without any arias In their possession', ob
served a bear climbing a tree, with his
paws clasped around the trunk. One of
them ran forward and caught the bear's
paws ono in each hand. HO then called
out to his comrade : "Jonathan; raw
home and bring me something to kill the
varmint I Mind you don't stay, foi•
in a dz.". Jonathan ran off but stayed
a long time. During the interval the
boar made several attempts to bite the
hands of him who hold it. At length
Jonathan came back: "Hallo, what
kept you so long?" " Well, toll you.
When I got home breakfast was ready ;
so I stopped to eat." " Well" said the
comrade, "come you, now, and bold the
critter while I kill it." /Jonathan seized
tho bear's paws and old the animal,
" Well, have" you hold -of- him?r,

AN AMUSING 'ARTICLE
It will bo • remembered, that some
time-since, wo: noticed' reportorially an
invention of a young man residing in the
city, which was termed the "Patent
Sheet Iron Cfit," and was designed-es- ,
pecially for the destruction of the com
mon feline serenaders 'which infest an
settled communities, andirender_ life a
bore, if not at times a positive torment.
Little did the inventor of the "Patent
'Cat" think, as -he fastened the last rivet
in the tail of his remarkable conception,
that he 'Was conferring a benefit upon'
mankind of equal importance with those
of the Velocipede, the Dolly Vardon; of
the Potato Bug riiTio - fab - E - Bal3o - fi
was tho case, and the favorable manlier
in which the press of the country (who
are slow to praise, and quiche to condemn
fraud and . worthless inventiOns);tinited
in favorable notices ist , t Patent

"

Only three IntudCcd of the " Patent

give complete satisfaction. We subjoin
a few notices of the press ,and testimo

" Wo have hood using for a week past

sheet iron cat, with cylindrical attach
ment and steel - claws and teeth. It is
worked by clock vr6ric. A bellows inside
swells the tail at will to a belligerent
size, and a tremolo attachment causes,
at thp-Tre time, the patent cat to emit

CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM.
The lion. Francis' Jordan, in his re
.cent lectures on Constitutional Amend
ments, before the Social ScionceAssoeta,
tion of Philadelphia, proposed twelve
amendments to the Constitution. This
lecture we published at the time in full ;
but in his repetition of it before tho
Pittsburg Law association, on the thir
tieth of April, ho advocated au import
ant additional propoSition, as follows :
XIII. Some further-guarantees against
fraud and peeulatidb must be incorpo
rated into our organic law.
We live in a Mercenary ago. The be,
setting sin of our day is covetousness;
and especially as manifested ha the
makink haste to be - rich; This is the
- corrupt-foimtain-whence , isedea-a-stream
of poison throughout the whole body
politic. Robbery by- violeneo is not
more frequent than heretofore, in pro

forms of fraud, aro rampant eirorywhere.
Mini and Officials who have/been implic
itly trusted for years, and who have
grown gray iu honorable service, are
suddenly discovered to be Swindlers and
thieves. Others by great efforts and
most plausible professiensi bush their
way into office, and places of treat and
responsibility, not to serve-the public or
others interested, but to enrich them
sob/es. And less pretentious scoundrels
can stuff a ballot box, or falsely person
ate an honest voter for a consideration ;
and thus pollute, undermine, and destroy
the most snored rights of the individual
citizen, and the vital and - essential prin
ciples of Republican government. Any
convention which fails ty- take cogni
zance of these evils, and to priiVidlOsafc
guards against them, would be Justly
regarded as a lamentable failffro. Lot
the indignant voice of an outraged public
virtue find proper expression in the
fundamental law, and let all forius of
dishonesty be branded as with the mark
of Cain. All frauds at elections should
be punished by disfranchisement Oft the
perpetrators ; and all embezzlemen6 and
peculations - should thereafter exclude the
Wrong doers from all offices or posts of
honor, trust, or profit.
lam aware it is contended b some
that men cannot Lc made honest by act

This is doubtless true, as an 4bstract

A. SCENE IN COTICIIIESR-
LAND'S AHEAD Tor."
It will be remelbered that a Mary
land Representative, Harris, uttered
words in eulogy of Jefferson Davis i mid
the Confederacy, which showed • con
dition of mental treason at least. A mo
tion of expulsion was atom], and wild
excitement followed. Mr. , . iColfax left•
the chair in order to sustain it, and did
so in a' speech of marked and impetuous
power. By the way Mr. Colfax is
known to reportorial memories as the
most rapid speaker of his - time, Beck,
of Kentucky, is their present bete noire
iu thiit respect. The motion to expel
failed to obtain, by a few, the nocestiary
two-thirds vote. Then CMS 0110 to cen
sure.- On this debut o proceeded for
nearly a week. The whole subject of
free Speenlolnd whether it had or not
tiny limitation, passed under review
With the progress of the debate men's
minds become confused. At last one day
just as the morning hour expired, Henry
Winter Davis came in. Taking his seat,
in a few moineal,hilk clear, firm "Mr.
Spe4itter" 'thrilled thrhgh the louse,
anal at once hushed all ho turbulent
hum. As described to me by a master
of the picturesque, who both hoard and'
participated; tfirscene that followed
meet have beeri.:ii — striking one. A few
tiwift sentencektkated the various posi
tions assumed by'' preceding speakers.
In a clear and striking manner he ar
raigned and sunifinid thorn up, and 'tl‘pn
'proceeded to analyze the offence of
which Mr. Harris had been guilty, show
ing how frlicdom mid license divorgeiV
and that disloyal utterances lilco his
were as treasonable in their degree as
the act of war, the raising of rebellion,
and the marshalling of armies. As the
orator proceeded, the house gathered
about, in front and around him. 'rho
Senate chamber was emptied ; the gal
leries above were dark with lite
throngs that leaned, down `with
breathless attention. There was
no sound heard but the mimic of
the speaker's voice, for the hushed
breath of the great audience seemed Si
lenced before those tones. His colleague,
the one., whoso offence was under con
sideration, a Southerner, oven to Quixot
icism, stood close to CIO orator, nay, al
most in, front of him, leaning on some
friendly shoulder, while his_fsco became
a wrafratudy, "Showing ,evident uneon
rsciousness of how much ho had to do
with. the. occasion,, in the_lntellectual de,
light the display gaVcf him. '
At the most caustic part of Davis's ar
gument, when eirorybody was listening
with an intenseness almost painful, TIM ,

STATE PRIDE.
"1{.)1.D SAnY
MARX TWAIN AS AN Enrron-In•Cutrat.
—Mark Twain in his volume "Rough
ing It," gives his expOrience as local
editor •of the Virginia City (Nevada)
Daily - Enterprise, and incidentally credit
the , " leading writer" of a daily journal
in a manner as rare as it unusually, is
deserved. In the case mentioned' Mark
had tired of his labor as local editor. He
says:
I wanted variety of soma kind. It
came. - Mr. Goodman went- away for a
week.and left mo the post of chief editor
It destroyed me. , The first day I wrote
my loader in-the forenoon. The second
day I had no subject, and put it -off till
evening, and then copied au elaborate
editorial out of the American Cyclopedia
that steadfast friend of the editor all over
the land. The fourth day I "fooled
around" till midnight, and then fell back
on the Cyclopedia again. The fifth day
I cudgelled my brain till midnight, 'and
then kept the press waiting while I
penned some bitter personalities bn six
differentpeople. The sixth day I labored
till far into the night and brought forth
—nothing. The paper. went to press
without an editorial. The seventh day
I resigned. On the eighth Mr. Good
man returned, and foiind six duels on
his hands. My personalities bad borne
fruit. •
Nobody, except ho has tried it, knows
what it is to.bo an editor. It is easy to
scribbto local rukbish, with the facts all
before you ; it fatsy,to clip selections
from other papers f l it is easy to string
out it correspondence from any locality;
but it is an unspeakable hardship to
write an editorial. Subjects are
, the
troubles—the 'dreary lack of , 'them, I
mean. Every tiny it is drag, drag, drag,
—think and worry and suffer—all the
world is a dull blank, and yet the editorial
colum)i must_ be filled. Only give the
editor aimbject, and his work is done—
it is no double to write it up ; but fancy
how you would fe el if you'had to pump_
your brains dry every day in the week,
:lifty=two weeks in the year. It makes
ono low-spirited simply to think of it.
Tho matter that each editor of a daily
paper in America writes in the cows° of
te . year would fill from four to eight
bulky volumes like this book. Fancy
what. a library an editor's work ti•uuld
make after twenty or thirty years' ser
vice. Yet people',ofton wtmder that
Dickens, Scott, Bulweii, Dumas,.
Lave been able to produce so many
books. If those authors had wrought as
volumniously as newspaper editors do
the result would be something tomarVel
at indeed.
How editors can continuo this tromen
dons labor, this exhausting consumption
of brain-fibre (for their work is creative;
and not a..meris mechanical laying. up of
facts, like repiirtingo dit'y after day and
year after year is incomprehensible.
Preachers take two months' holiday in
midsummer, for they find that to pro
duce two sermons a NVCCIS'iIi wearing in
the long run. In truth it must be so,
and it is so ; .and therefore how an editor
can take from ten to twenty texts and
.build upqvi them from ton to twenty,
painstaking editorials i week, and keep
it up all the year round, is further
- litTyond compyelionsiod than ever. aver '
sin& I have survived my week as editor
I have found a:t.least ono pleasure in any
newspaper that conies to hand ; it is in
admiring the long.4plumns of editorials
and wondering to myself how in the
mischief he did it.

The "Fat Contributor" writes to the
Cincinnati Times:
Let me •relate an incident, that oc
curred when I was a frisky young man,
with a fondness for young ladies' soci
ety. Understand me, J have uo'distaste
for young ladies' society now, but they
don't seem to hanker as much after the
men as the y ' did, say twenty years ago.
This is natural enough. I don't blame
them—bnly they don't know :what tiley
are missing. '
A. frieiid and myself got on boaril 'an
express train one afternoon to make , it
short trip. The car re entered was foil.
Only pee vacant seat in fact, and that
was

for that very desirable vacant teat. It
isn't ,a fair thing to do, Its a general
thing, to trip a friend, but it was allow
able under the vremnstances, and I gava
him just the slightest trip in the World,
just to enable me to get the start.. 31:y,

this, looked madder than ever. At
length we reached a station whore the
train stopped a moment. My friend ab
dicated tho wood box nud rushed out on
the platform.' Suddenly, he returned,
and coming quickly to me, seized me by
itro'collar, and said in a tone hoard all
through the car
'Quick now, got Tight off.h . cre: You
