EVENING DUTIES.
•
OR,
THE TWO C'ITY CiERKS.
BY SYLVANUS COBB, 111,
The common eiiilities were passed, and
then Mr. Rushton at down and looked
around. Re saw a neat, substantial bciok
case, well filled with good books; a few
choice pictures upon historical subjects;
and-a table; upbtx-which were books, pa
per, pens and iiik;clutwing materials, and
a ute. The 'merchant glanced at the
book which Olive; - had just laid diyatn,
with his "mark" narefully placed where
he had left off reading, and saw thatit
was "COOPER'S VIRGIL." •
"Do you read Latin?" Mr. RushOn
asked. •
"Not much, sir," replied the youth,
modestly, studied it some !when at
school, and I thought I might as well de
vote a part of my time "to that as not.
find that I can get along very well by
reading a little every evening."
"Every evening? Do you spend ev
ery evening -here:"
"Althost 641 go to a good lecture now
and then." I
"Then you don't go out much evenings?"
F , No, sir."
"Don't you like it ?"
"Well—l should like to walk out oft-1
ener, perhaps, if there were any pleasant
places in which to walk; bit thisi city
doesn't afford many such, sir." '
"But most young men of your age find
plenty of pleasure abroad r iu the evening." i
"I suppose so, sir. And lyet it is but;
a flashing pleasure, after all. ; I fear many
of them are purchasing present yleasure at
the cost of future suffering. No,sir—l find
pleasure abroad, I will not Say that there
is none to be fdund. There may be much.
I In fact, I know there must be much of
Veal pleasure to be found in! our great
• city by those who are thoroughly acquain
tett, and know where to look for it. Ido ,
not mean -that the City is Void of good, or
• of true pleasures.—But. sir, I
"Well—go on, You are what ?"
"Why, sir—l do not feel safe to trust
myself in the society of those who .seek!
their pleasures away from home every'
evening. I.may be weak; but if I am, I
Sul willing to sekooviledie it, However,
i I have one oonsolation : If I don't ven
ture near the - fire I shan't be burned."
"You are right, Oliver—very right,"
returned the merchant, warmly; and then
he added, in a sort of business tone—
" But I must broach the subject upon
which I called ) How do you! like your
boarding-place?"
"Why, sir—l - like it as well as I think
I should any boarding-house," answered
Oliver in surprise. ,
"Would you object 'to' changing it?"
pursued Rushton.
"Of course' not, sir, if you wished it,
"Well; I do wish it;. and I'll tell you
why :I have a very small family—only
my wife and 'one child—and I would like
to have one, of Fay clerks always by me.—.
Very often 11 want to bolt over accounts
at llama; lind then I oftd,n want to send
business errands to the f. tctre in the mor
ning before I 'wish to go down myself.—
If you'll come and board, with me you
shall have abetter room than this is, and
, I'll keep you for nothing; so You'll haie
three dollars Ind a half ,per week to buy

"I—l
"Speak oui."
"I will do anything you wish, sir.'-
..The merchant seemed . Surprised. iFfei
had itipposed that the yciuo would biive
been deeply Moved by the , proffered'at
tention.
"I only wish you to plebe yourself;
fiver" he said, a little more coolly than
ho iad Spoken -before. `- w1 will speak plainly, sir; for I know
you, will not he offended," returned the
youth, eolering. "My parents are not,
wealthy, but they are honorable and re
spected by all who know them. I nppre
eiate your kindness, should
not feel happy—l—l—should not feel at
home in any house where there .was a
class privileged above me. You may
think me foolish—but—really, sir-7
Poor Oliver broke down. Be couldn't
come at it as he wished. At first a look
of utter astonishment settled upon the
merchant's face; but gradually the light
broke in upon hini, and the old express-
ion of pride came back.
"Aha—l see,-I see,' he cried. "You
think I meant to take you into my house,
and plate you on a social par with my
servants P'
Oliver looked surprised in turn.
"Am I right ?"
"Why—yes, sir."
"And would you thank me for that ?"
"Yes; air; because I am - confident that
you would proposb nothing to a depend
ent which! was not meant for good.'
"Thank you, Oliver—thank you. But
I meant no such thing. I have no
soni—
a—l meant for you to come and occupy
a place in my family as an honored and
respected member of that family. Now
will you come ?"
Oliver Hudson started up and caught
his employer by the hued. He tried half :
a-dozen thins to speak, and finally man
aged to say—
"l should be very happy, sir—verv—

The dwelling of Elisha Reihton was
one of those quiet, unassuming structures,
which would seldom be noticed as the
abode of wealth were it not for the exten
sive conservatory, the open garden, and
the carriage-house. Where land is almost
worth ita own superficial area in silver
coin, only great wealth can retain such
sources of gratification.. Within the mer
chant's house, all was substantial and of
real worth. The furniture was massive;
the ornaments pleasing to the eye and to
sense; while the whole was made subser
vient to comfort-.
Mrs. Rushton was a woman of sound
practical sense, having started in life as
the wife of a poor clerk; and being able
now to look back upon the past, and 'feel
that at every upward step she had been
by her husband's side—never lagging be
hind tole lifted up, nor pulling upon him
to drag him back.
They had but one ehild 7 -1 daughter—
named Emily. She was now fifteen—
just a year younger than Oliver. She
was what fashionable people would call
"so-so." She was not a beauty, because
there was no particular "style" to her fea
tures. In frame she was full and plump;
and in feature fair and rosy. lier face
was a bed of roses and sweet smiles, and
her laughter was inspiring. In short, she
was one of those whom Love marks for
its own. Her -appearance inspired none
of that awe and distant admiration which
your set beauty commands; but the first
feeling upon becoming acquainted with
Emily Rushton was confidence and love.
. -
And into that society was Oliver
son thrown. For awhile he seemed fear-I
ful of approaching too-near; but gradual-!
ly this feeling wore off, and at the end of{
six months they were free and easy lin!
each others society. And , this feeling!
had not been Oliver's alone.' No, no.—!
Emily had fur a long time, treated him!
differently from what she treated all otti-I
er male acquaintances. B'he had been
wore distant and reserved, and far morel
respectful. But, as we just said, this all;
wore off, and they became as happy as!
could be io.each other's society. Oliver!
was a better loOking youth 'than most ofl
those, who . visited there, and then he had
that in his soul and brain which supplied
the material fur many a happy and prof
itable hour.
Three years had passed away from the
time of the . two boys' entrance into the
great 'city. They were now eighteen
years of age. •
Albert Ryder was an excellent sales
' man, and as he managed to stick to his
business during business , hours, his em
ployers asked no questions. But Oliver
Hudson saw what many .others did'not
see, for he looked through - thetve of love
and solicitnde. He saw that Albert's face
waa rout so fresh and fair as it ttsed to be;
the eye was not so clear and bright; and
the step was not so firtri and buoyant.
"Albert," he said as the two met one
evening at 'the store of a mutual friend,

with whom' the former had' associated

What makes your hand tremble, and your
lip crisp and crackled ? What makes you

Tell me,- for I know that you'lxave ample
proof of my love." -
Albert was silent for some moments,
and when he spoke his voice was low and
faltering.
"If 1 shunned you, Oliver, it was be
cause I didn't want to hear your lectures."
"Well, my old mate—my companion ,
of other days," said Oliver placing MS
hand upon the other's shoulder, and speak

eye, "this once let me speak, and then. I

they may not turn your matliets chiefest

What Men Drink.
A story has been, going the rounds of
the papers for several weeks, the gist of
which is contained in the following par
agraph :
" the manufacture of brandy from
raw spirits, a certain article called " es
sence of brandy," is sometimes used,
which, in its properties is nearly allied
to prussic acid, and a drop or two will
produce instant death. At. Toronto, Can
ada, a manufacturer of brandy, named
Morris, applied his ton g ue to a prepara
tion oithis essence with a view probably
to aseertain its,strength, and in less than
sixty seconds was a corpse."
From the various commentaries which'
have been made in relation to this fatal
experiment.of touching one tongue to
the " essence of brandy," it would seem
that many of our editoral brethren have
an extremely vague and indefinite idea
of the nature of this strange and, _ potent
"essence." 'We propose to enlighten
them, to the end that they .and their
readers will hare a good reason to adopt.
the " taste not" adage in relation to this
l and all similar essences.
The true essence of all the alcoholic
or intoxicating liquors in the , world is
alchohol itself. "Raw spirit" is sim
ply alcohol; diluted with water.—
Every other alcoholic beverage, whether
known as "spirituous or malt liquors,
wine;" &c., is nothinglntore or less than
alcohol and water, coMmenly known, as
"raw whisky"—aud certain extraneous
admixtures, alias poisons. With this
raw whisky and the appropriate corm
pound or essence, all kinds of liquor,
rum, brandy, wine, gin, ale, beer, etc., in
all their variety, can be made to order on
very short notice, and of -any required'
degree of flavor. pungency, or intoxica
ting potency. The ruanumeture of these
compounds has become quite 'an import-1
ant business, and some of our chemists
and druggists -make their manufacture
and sale a speciality.
The adulteration of alcohol, or the
:manufacture of fictitious liquors, is-- as!
profitable to the prodUcer as-,it is killing'
to the commuter., For example, ten
cents' worth of arsenic or- corrosive sub
limate, added to it barrel of rum, brandy;
gin, or whiskey, Will double its coanner
cial value that is, it will enable the dealer' to add to it a barrel of water, and
still have the same potency , to effect, 'or
disturb, or stimulate the system as in
ordinary glass, or drink, or dose,. .1

Mobbing a No - residing Elder of
the Philadelphia Con
ferenice.
[Car. df the Evening Bulletin.]
NEW"pASTLE, Aug. 24:—At the
close oflthe camp meeting for Greensboro
Circuitil Caroline county Md., held at
Boonsh'oro, and which closed a few days ,
ago, there was witnessed one'of the gross
est pro-slavery outrages which has ever
occurred in the State of Maryland. At
many Meetings of this kind it is usual at''
the close of camp theetinns, for all mem
bers of ilm Church (Metadist Episcopal)
to march around the ground,. inside of the
circle formed by the tents, and sing some
hymn appropriate to the parting of those
who lave been worshippers together in
the tented grove for the week or more of
the meeting's continuance.
Ordinarily the colored people form in
marching order, and i,defile into line im
mediately after the whites; but in some
localities, lest offence (should be taken by
outsiders, tha coloredi.people are marched
around by themselves, and after the pro
cession of the whites has taken place. To
conciliate the pro-slavery sentiment .in
the locality, the latter.' plan was adopted
by -the przalent dignitary who, had charge
of thel interests of the meeting.
Rev. Wm. McCombs, the Presiding
Elder, placed himself at the head of the
procession of the 'colored-members of the
Methodist Episcopal.Phurch, which was
made up of slaves and free people of col
or, When a mob of more than. fifty per
sons, led on by an ex-dignitary of the
county; entered the circle and came up im
mediately abreast the procession.
The leader of the mob forbade Mr.
McCombs to takeanother step at his per
il, and threatening him with the ven
geanco of the mob should he dare to ad
vance.
The •Presiding Elder, intimidated by
1 , threats of person c al violence, and fearing
i:bloodshed and a general melee, qnit his
iplace at the head. of the procession, and
the mob was triumphant on the group.,
made as sacred by the laws of Maryland
las is the inside of a church:„
A Magistrate on -the ground, and of r
ficiating member of 7. the Methodist Epis-
Copal Church, was . aplied to we learn,
for, a writ, in-order. to Arrest the leader
of the mob. This process was denied
the Presiding Elder, and he found to his
Chagrin, and in contradietien of former
repeated asseverations in regard to Meth
odism in the .Slaveholding territories of ,
the' Philadelphia Annual Conference,'
that the Methodist people-were untrue to
Anti-Slavery Methodism, or at least had
not the courag to support their church
official when the interest and rites of the
colored people in que.stiOn. • - '
We are not lovers of strife and blood
shed, yet we can only thick of the po
sition of Mr. McCombs as one represen
ing, on thiki ocCasion, the whole interests
of Anti-Slavery Methodism on the penin
sula. and deeply regret that right, and .
the - prestige of a _powerful church on the
right aide, should so quietly have been
;surrendered. M.

A Democrat is a man -who believes Li
the strength of the people, without hay
ing that strength exercised in knocking
him out of 'office because he seta as if he
thought Democracy, went the weeknaia
of the people. A Democrat .may, at

for the interests of all' Wards but"his
own;. all Counties but own. all
, lowly a l l
but his own '; if, : however; he Bab
, serves the good of other counties before
his own, he then is called a traitor. • •
A real Democrat is' one Who regards
the interest of his own Ward,'; County
and State before those of all other Wards,
Counties and States, and when bola en

not stop to ask,' what will be -the 'effects
of all thrs in Other States in 1880.

Pennsylvanian asks. A Loeooo is to
a; Democrat what a mule is to a hoino--
he can't propagate anything and is all
fiiredly stubborn. ' 'A Locofoco, like a
foolish housekeeper r eares Moro for the
