'O. Stedman THE OLD MAN'S STORY. A Temperance Tale. lIY W8124R 33UTLEn. One cold drip 412 December, 18—, while traveling throno, the State of Michigan, night overtook us just as we reached the town of, a small village in the in terior of the State. .4 the weedier was extremely cold and our coach a slOw'one, we were in a cundition pretty well calcnla ted to enjey the comforts of a village tav ern, if it was not quite as stylish as some of which that same town i of :Ig•-••••••-•' can, now boast. The coach was crowded full, and had it not been for the intense cold we should undoubtedly:have become pretty well acquainted, with each other's histories; but as it was, each one kept his own coun sel, as if loth to convey even his thoughts for fear that in so doing } u might detract front his personal resources for warmth and comfort, and hence the silence was broken only by an occasional short and pointed re mark which elicited scarcely more than a word in reply; but ellen the bright lights shone from the cheerful houses as we en tered 31—, every one eeemed to throw off his reservedness in an, nstant, and a round of jokes brought us to a point of good reeling by the time our driver cracked his whip and hauled up in front of the only ho tel in the plec*e. We were not long in changing our base of opetations to a more cheerful location surrounding the huge old stove which sent forth its glowing heat for the benefit Of who ever might chance to drop in. A fter warm ing thoroughly, the landlord, a genial fel low, announced supper, and we marched off to test its qualities. Just us all hands had got fairly at work administering to the wants of the "inner Inca" the landlord passed along with a full pitcher of hot whisky , and asked each one of the company if Le would like a glass of punch. 'A murmur of satisfaction passed around the table, and all held up their glass es for tura" from the smoking mug ex cept one old man whose gray hairs and sad countenance had attracted the attention of all the passengers. He was apparently about sixty years of age, and his lung white hair hung in clusters almost, to his shoul ders; hlti countenance was very mild, and he looked like st jovial, good-natured soul but fur a lingering sadness which (dung to every feature of his kind face. As we expressed our surprise at his refu sal to partake of the exhilarating liquid— especially at such a time, after having Bn dared the tortures of twenty miles of stag ing over a rough road, and in such inclem ent weather—the old gentleman slowly raised his eyes, and with a look of sadness, said-he would relate a chapter of his life history after the supper was done, and then leave it to a vote of his companions whether he had chosen wisely to " mate not, touch not, handle not" the vile 'liquid which we had so eagerly sought for. No more was said on the subject at that time, but as the old man ceased speaking he bowed his head, and a single tear traced its way down his wrinkled cheek, and a slight tremor passed over his aged frame, showing plainly a restate' too evident to be disputed or rebutted by the commonplace argument genet:, 1, used to induce a person to drink alter a rt.lased. The remainder of the meal was finished in silence, and now and then some one would cast a sympathiz ing look toward the old man, for Le had be come the object of Our pity and curiosity. , After fi nishing our supper , we again re paired to the barroom - and , indulged in a smoke, the old gentleman drawing from his pocket a pipe which he proceeded to fill from a pouch which he took from his coat pocket, remarking as he did so that be al ways preferred a pipe toe cigar, and quietly lighted it. lie smoked away for several minutes in silence. Every one waited anx iously for the prothised story, , but as ;the old gentleman seemed to be lost in a reve rie no one ventured to remind him of his promise. Finally, raising hie head and lean mg back in his chair, the light flashed across his face and showed that he had been weep ing, for tears were still dropping from his eyes. No one who saw that look or ob served those tears could doubt that what he was about to relate was from the heart's true memories, and all felt that if the look he gave was an index of the. narrative it must certainly be one of misery. Knock ing the ashes from his pipe and wiping his face, lie turned-partly around so as to face Lis audience who were eagerly listening to catch-the first words tnat should drop from his lips, and he began: "I promised to tell you," said he, speak ing slowly and a little timidly, "a chapter of my lite, and show you why I never taste a drop of any thing intoxicating; and if I can he instrumental in causing one of you to cease the damning habit, I shall feel well paid fur living over again the misery and guilt which enchain my soul and congeal my blood every time 1 relate the circum stances surroundirig the great crime which alcohol prompted nue to commit in a weak and unguarded hour" Here his - guilt seenicd to overwhelm him, and coveting his lace with his hands, he wept long and bitterly. We sat mute with astonishment, and I for one wondered if so kind and genial a soul could be so trans formed, even by alcohol, as to commit so heinous a crime; but respect and pity kept every one silent, and we s ( T i lt and wept with the old man, although we id not know his sorrow. After a tew moments he again re sumed his conversation, and in a low, sad tone relattd the following tide: " Some forty years ago I.Watiliving in the eastern part or• Massachusetts with my pa rents, having a fine farm on the banks of a beautiful little stream, and everything sur rounding them calculated to make them comfortable end contented. They were counted among the most favored of the land. I was au only son, and of course pet ted and given all the advantages necessary to devel op the talent which, nature had be stowed on rue. My father was a kind and indulgent man, whose pride for his son was second only to the affection he bore for my mother. lie sent me to the best schools in the State, and my education was counted excellent. I had just returned from college at the age of twenty, filled with high hopes, and many were the castles of fame built and remodeled over to suit my buoyant and aspiring nature. • I was betrothed to the beautiful daugh ter of a neighboring farmer, whom I was to wed as soon as 1. had completed my law studies, which I was about to commence with a respected friend of my father who resided in a neighboring city. After some two years of diligent study I was admitted to the bar, hiving passed- my - examination with limn; and many is - ere thecurnpllrnenut 'and kind wishes volunteered' me, by kind end loving friends. This WB9' in the win ter, and early next spring I was marri s si. "I set out with my beautiful young wife for New York state, where I was to prim, - t • • - • lice in iny Profei3slori'- a thriving_ y n e town. iri the western - part of the State: arriveksafely,:and ',began 'a career at, once brilliant ansi successful,,. ifruetice soon ,beettme extenalve;:tind I was eAled the.4uost momising lawyer in •thatl part of the state. - • - • - - "In the mean time. a fan:illy - Of 'three chil dren had grown up among it-- lend were t he pride of our hearts. -Everything seemed to pass off smoothly and without it jar, when, becoming elated with my suece4s, t began to drink largely over myigood fortune. I had always drank a little, for it' wag fashionable: at that time - , and every one was expected to. tamper with the vice. My ititialgencei be ganrto attract the attentidnof my wife, and a sadness spread over her' which .troubled me somewhat, but, instead of serving as a warning it drove me more freqUently - to the barroom, where ',was used to, meeting n cir cle of jolly young, friends' and pissing a few hours of fun and, conviviality. , drank deeper and deeper each atiebeeding night, until it became a common thing for me to get home so intoxicated as tp be scarcely able to control myself. Once Tor twice my wife had attempted . a- gentle remonstrance against my course, but as I impatiently and rudely cast her, from me,.she ceased 'to say More tome on the subject, but , went away by herself and for many long 'and 'ag, onizing hours.- 'My practice was becoming lees extensive, my influence lessened. •and began to' neglect my ,-business, This all came on me so 'gradually that I scarcely perceiVed it, and at last I sunk to. the level of the common gotterdrunkard.' • Ohl if I could only have realized 'my situation, how much misery and crime I might 'have avoid ed; but I was blinded to my fate, and I rushed on perfectly reckless Of the . cOnse qUences. ' • _ '" It was one cold winter night—one for all the world like ,this one to-night; arid I shall never forget it, for its memories cling around me every moment of my life, and are truly my llfe-sorrows. My wife had a young child at her breast; my two little girls had 'gone some two miles to stay with a neighbor, for my little boy was very, ill, and my wife had the sole care of him, as I was not fit for'the fulfillment of such an of fice; so seizing my hat I started for the vil lage tavern. My wife again remonstrated with me, and begged me to stay at home 'that night, for Charley was very ill, and , might not live Until morning. I did not heed her entreaties any more than to say I would not stay late. I went out cursing to myielf the words she had spoken, end left her weeping and alone With the helpless children, and as I hurried on toward the tavern I tried to convince myself -thatl had done right in not giving up to her entreat ies. I was aman, and rott4 not be swerved by woman's weakness: Thus I argued, try ing to satisfy a guilty conscietwe, for I had become a fuck and considered it more man- ly tote mastered by a craving appetite for drink than by the, reason and kind words of mv loving wife. I entered the tavern; the barroom was filled with my reveling cenipanions, who mat, me with a shout of joy. We - drank deep and often, find I soon - became intoxi dated. .A heated discussion followed which led to blows, and id the muss I got struck. This so irritated me that long after the row was quieted I was,siarly and brutish, and in this condition I started for borne, reaching my home—how I hardly knew. I knocked for admittance, and not being answered tin medintely I procured a club, and with hor rid oaths, commenced to pound the door.— My wife came and unfastened it, and letting me in begged of - me to he quiet, fur little Charley was very low—and she feared, dy lag.' 1 ordered her to 1:e silent, and ,com inenced to pound the, floor of the room with my club. She again remonstrated, when— not minding even the helpless child in her arms-1 struck her a blow with the club, which sent her reeling to the floor. This seemed to madden- me more; and seeing her attempt to rise again, I sprang to the table, acd seizing a large, butcher knife which lay there, I oruek.at her, aim - seeing toe noc blood spirt from her bosom, and hearing the frantic cries of the child, I staggered to a corner of the room, and reeling to the floor, fell into a heavy and drunken slumber . — How long I slept I know not, but when I awoke the bright sun was shining full into my face. My britin was troubled, and I seemed to be trying -to recall a horrid dream, vhich, as I became more and more awsken ed,, seemed to transform itself into a horrid reality. Springing to my feet, I saw some thing.drop to the floor, apparently from the folds of my clothes, and• stooping to pick it up, it looked like a little child's finger: I looked at It again, and found—oh I my God! -;.-that it was the finger of my little babe, Which - I. had severed in my brutal butchery of my wife! " Then the whole truth of my crime rush ed upon me. I' was horror stricken and chained to the spot. After recovering my senses somewhat, I turned fay eyes toward - the center of the room, and oh I—what a sight met my gaze! There in the center of the floor lay my wife weltering in her own blood—dead t---while at her breast the little babe was sleeping, having cried itself to sleep in its agony. I gave one look at / its little hand, and I saw that one finger was gone, while the blopd was slowly dripping from the wound. The floor was all covered with blood, and near by lay the club and knife, which had done the fatal deed. I turned in my agony to the bed where lay my sick boy, and he, too, was—dead! This was too much. I sank upon the tloor - and fainted. I remember nothing more for a long time—for I was a raving maniac. ' My guilt had upset my brain, and I was erased. "How the crime was discovered I know not; neither did I know anything of the long trial which followed, and at the close of which I was borne to a lunatic asylum. There for ten long years—they tell me—l raved about the horrid crime, the memory of which was uppermost in my mind. Fi nally I was pronounced convalescent, am' was released. When I returned to my home everything was changed; my children were all gone, and the little village had become a large town. Some were there who remem bered me, but none Could give me any tidings of the whereabouts of my children. I wan dered about endeavoring to find them, and came near being crazed again; but tiller a long time I gained some information of the whereabouts of my daughters. I Sought them out; they received me kindlp—ycs, gladly—but could give me no information of my baby boy. Lie was taken by some kind friend who had removed to the Far West, and notwithstanding 'their many ef forts to search him out they bad never found him. I gave up farther search for him, and as my daughters had both married well, I accepted their urgent request and made my home with them, and resumed the practice of law. My success returned to me, and I have now acquired both fame and fortune. " Many years have passed since that tivi; ful night, but its memories ever cling around me; and if I could only call back to life those loved ones whom I murdered and find my lung lust boy, my lot would indeed be a happy one; but the grave will not give - back its dead, and 1 must journey on to the end of life sustaining my own great burrow." Here the old mail paused, while the tears streamed dOwn his t wrinkled cheeks. Just at this moment a stir was made in a distant pan of the rooni, and a fine looking plan, apparently about thirty-five, who had listen ed unobserved to the old luau's story, came forward and inquired the old, gentleman's name. "James Gordon," he replied with out looking up. ",And my name," said the, young man, "is William Gordon," and holding out his hand_ displayed the place where the knife had severed the little linger. The old gen tleman sprang to his feet, exclaiming, " son! My - son I' It was a happy meeting, and many were the tears shed and congratulations given.- 7 Long histories of their separate lives fol- lowed, and at a late hOur we retired. The next morning the happy father accompa• nied his son to his home, bearing with him the prayers and kind wishes of ail the pas sengers and our worthy landlord, . it seems unnecessary to add the verdict of the company upon the subject of alcohol. —for every one vowed to never taste or to handle the accursed drug again. A short time since business again' called me to M . Great changes had taken place; the slow old stage ,coach ,had given way to theS..awilt•winged locomotive, and 3 , 1— r .. had become a great city.' ,Putting up at a first class hotel, whom should I find but our old landloid doing thil dignity of "MIAs Am."

The _Ruins of Troy. Oar readers, say oOgnant's Messenger,. may still remember X Schliemann and his 'excavations in the soil of the ancient Troad. That gentleman is at tint point of publish lug a relation of his discoveries, together. with .209 photographic-plates representing the principal objects of his collection. An eminent savant, M. Emile Bernouf, Director of the FrenCh School, addresses to the Temp an Interesting notice' of the antiquities bro't to After some introductory remarks, he says: . • • - " by his first discoveries M. Schliemann was led to seek for the site of Troy in the very spot where antiquitY ; bad placed it; that is to say, at a locality called Hissarlik, not, far from the sea; and this is what be foundi A. modern stratum; containing some Roman relics , and some very important in scriptions, extends overthe bill to a depth of two yards. Besides the Greek antiqui ties anterior to the Roman epoch, the first layer furnished some objects In Iron, with arms and nails of bronze, but not a single article of pure copper. Among the speci mens of purely Greek origin and historical date watiound a slab of white marble be-' longing to the temple of the Italian Miner va, the lower part of which building has been uncovered. - "Below the Hellessid stratum, ,which. was the remains of a colony which' must have lasted more than a thousand years and only disappeared under Constantine IL, lies the Trojan and prehistoric bed with a depth of as much as sixteen yards.. In this accumu lation --of rubbish is found neither bronze nor iron; all the metal objects , at; in pure copper, silver, gold, or electron, very fine mixture of the two latter.) At the depth of nine yards a thin layer 'of lead ore and cop per extends nearly over the whole mound, which skats itself fortified. i ‘ M. Schliemann has cleared away the nrincipal entrance, which is paved and flanked by solid,huildings. The wall at the side is not less than thirteen yards in , thick ness. Near the spot, in a commanding sit uation, are the remains of a large princely edifice, by the side of which was found the treasure of which I will presently speak.— The ruins of the town allow at least three strata to be distinguished; the upper one, about two yards thick, leading to a supposi tion that the houses Were of wood, and that they had been burnt. The second bed con tains many walls formed of stones cement ed with Mud, similar to those which we our self found at Santorin 'under the- pumice stone of the volcano. The third layer con tains houses constructed with unbaked bricks, according to the ancient custom of Central Asia. All this patt chows the traces of an immense conflagration; the vases and metals have been calcined or soldered by the fusion; the - surface of the' bricks has been glazed by the flame of of a vast furnace. "This last bed is from seven to ten yards in thickness. Below the depth just men tioned there existed a stijl more ancient city, where walls have been found composed of enot mous stones weighing from one to two tons each. It was the first founded in that place, for it rests on the virgin soil, which is a calcareous rock. A whole volume would be required to describe the objects brought from the (road by 3f. Scblientann, as-the number,is more than 15,000. Many-of them are vases in terracotta, some turned ireia lathe, and others modeled with the -hand. None of them are painted, but mostpf them represent a woman with prominent breasts ana in race of hzi'vvri,e, 11}..- i1...--1.43.. , -... `of Homer, wearing a sort of helmet. The worship of the" Glaecopis Atheno" was manifestly the principal one -of the place, 'for a great number of Palladiums in terra cotta, stone, or bone have been found, rep resenting that divinity sometimes in a very striking manner. The instruments of pure copper, with the moulds and crucibles used for their manufacture, tools and weapons of flint, the remains of lyres for seven or four strings, several thousand double cones that were pierced with a hole, and known under the name of fusaioles, for female ornaments, i mortars, mill, too., all form an ensembles ch as no museum in - Europe can boast of, nil will furnish inexhaustible subjects of stn •, i -It .is an entire feudal ciV,ilization novf , rei! , - vealed to us. , - "What we can affirm is that the race which has left these memorials was untio- ; quainted with iron, and was anterior to y bronze. -It was, therefore, also prior to the ' Iliad, in which bronze, tin, and iron are fres! quently mentioned. The inhabitanta of the place were shut up in a citadel. Twenty wells dug outside by M. Schliemann have demonstrated that there were no dwellings beyond the walls. The population lived under the rule of a feudal 'lord,' whose stronghold has now been brought to light. Therein have been discoverid, besides a host of minor objects, several vases Of puro gold, silver, or electron, - two magnificent necklaces composed of a multitude of orna ments and small chains of a primitive but still advanced manufacture; several thou sand gold beads, well cut; eight bracelets and thirty-six ear rings of, the same metal. There is no doubt that these valuables be longed to the proprietors of the chateau, and that the master was at the same time the sovereign of the country. LBW_ what was the name of the King? Was it Priam? I must be excused from' replying to that question, for we ought first to know sileth er the Iliad is not analogous to the Ramey ana and Schell name, in which the sun, moon, winds, and clouds are represented as ancient heroes, and 'their cosmogonic con tests as human events.

There have been Owes in the history of the World when there has seemed no alter- native to true and simple men 'but to 'aban- ' don society and seek outside the limits of civilization some new life in which they' could be true to themselves and their God. - Without going back to the hermits, of the middle ages, the Puritans who first Icame to this country saw no other means of leading what they considered a good- life than by cutting all the ties which bound; them to civilized humanity, and domiciling them selves in a wilderness. There have been other times when individual men have found it necessary to break with an artificial world which was growing too oppressive for them. But as the world goes on these ereinitic re treats become every year less and less rea sonable, because they become more and more impossible. Anybody who retires from the world becomes at once a center of interest.

Anecdote of Lord Pam The late Lord Palmerston, like most men who have become famous in literature_ or politics, was a capital raconteur, and enjoyed keenly the telling of a good anecdOte. Lord Shaftesbury; one of the most philanthropic men of England, married Lady Palmerston's eldest daughter -by. Lord Cowper her first husband. Lord Palmerston was never wea ry of telling stories about his son-in-law, whose religious zeal he did not much be lieve in or care for, and Lord Shaftesbury always took them in good part.

The first d9l fly Congress, which meets in December,iirrto repeal the back-pay law;" its next, and prolitably its 'greatest duty, is to secure economy in national expenditures. The 'total appropriations last 'winter were /.Z18,000,000 in excess of the year before;. and if a similar increase is indulged in next winter, the men who vote for it roust do so with the consciousness that they must raise the-revenue w.hic,h they will thus Undertake to *vend. An increase of appropriations means the levying of new, taxes. The prei ent sources of revenue will permit even a repetition of last year's appropriations. All sorts of schemes to - deplete- the,Na donut Treasury will be, pressed upon the coining Congress. First and foremost among these will be the projects for build ing canals from the West -to the seaboard; and these failing, there remains the scheme for building a huge four-track railroad from New York to Chicago. Next in order will come plans for granting the public lands as subsidies, for obtaining a national guaranty of the Northern Pacific bonds, and for di rect appropriations in aid of all sorts of steamship lines. Against all these and similar attempts to tax the nation /for local benefit we protest in advance, and we warn the members of Congress from Pennsylvania that this is no timelfor branching out - into - extravagant or extraordinary expenditures of any kind, and least of all into expenditures in behalf. of new`echenies and experiments. - The peo ple will 'not endure a return to national tax ation for any such purposes. The Congress ional eleetioris occur next year, and the men who venture upon giving aid and comfort to any of the numerous attempts that will be made upon the Treasuiy will find the shortest possible road to their political graves._ No matter who he is, or what his - past political record has been, the man witcf by his votes renders it again necessary to lay upon the people the heavy hand .of tax ation will die the death, and that without mercy. - But not only must all these new ventures be crushed, there must be besides the ut most economy stuiwn in making the usual appropriations to ears's , on the government. Retrenchment and not expansion must be the rule. The appropriations must be kept within the limits uf_ the revenue anticipated under the laws as 'thee exist, and leave a margin fur a steady reduction of the d i ebt. This title is simple, plain, easily understood, and as easily followed, if the members of Congress will but resolve,* each fur himself, 'anon adhering strictly to it. If Congress sets the example of retrenchment and econ omy, as it should, am) as we-trust it will, its ,lead will be followed - throughout the States, and that done, the wayout of our financial difficulties will be comparatively easy to tiud.—Pilfsburgh Commercial, A Marvel Outdone.

Witt= Apple& • Those -what grow apples 'for market and, make it an especial branch of busiaesis,-d0 not need to be told how to keep; them- till; the proper time for marketing comes; but-- those who have but a few trees 'and ,grow chiefly for their' own use, may_ be benefited, by a hint or two. In the first place, winter apples should be left on the trees as long as possible before gathering. A light, white frost is' not-Of ten regarded; but about the end of October should be the limit 'in this region . for suffer; log them, to remain. ' • • The gathering should be done by hand, as, if shaken from the tree and 'bruised they soon rot. Even when he d-ploked they are often badly used subsequ ntlY; and early decay is a consequence. After gath ering they *Quid be sorted over',"iintl any that have been injured by grubs 'or cater pillars taken away. Wherever the eutiOe is in any way injured the apple is liable - 4o rot, and such fruit Should be kept away from the sound ones. „Those which pre'Ve entirely whole may be put in clean barrel); headed to keep out mice, auk then put: in any dry cellar just secure from frost. is very important to carefully take out' tbe fits ' jurad ones, as'any decay in a lot svilt OM* communicate to the whole party Whet* boo few are growna cool' cellars garretor• shed; secure from frost, and the fruit lard on the floor or on shelves, is as good as any. thingi In this case, where there is conga ual use for household purposes the impi* . feet fruit can be taken as they appear4-r. This is the general plan; but it is better where time can be spared to sort them, otir when put in, or soon after, all at once and: done with it, than depend on the daily pidk- , ing out. It is done at once and thus !mail , - time. The women of a household - as a rale are much more badly worked than the matt, and evens few quarter boUrs a day soon runs away with time they can badly spare, besides this the continual moving abet= of the sound apples is likely to injure them, and thus the evil from damaged fruit Is in creased. Moreover, it is by no, means un likely that the seeds of decaying matter may spread td perfectly' sound fruit, and thus make them" bad also. It' will certainly do so in a close 'barrel, and may do so in. more open places. The success of apple-culture in our atn has been-very encouraging the past fevesea-' sons. One of our subscribers tells that he has but one tree in his stroll lot, and that It is a " Red Streak," which may, however, .wean anything almostiebut 'that from it this year he gathered fifteen- bushels of ' apples, which he thinks will keep his family, though fond of "sauce," till after ,new-year. He says it did not bear so well a few years ago as it has for the last six or seven years, but by reading the Telegraph be has been in duced to keep a sharp look-out for borers, and he puts on manure occasionally lunder the tree, though growing in a sort of waste corner, and the tree now eives him as much satisfaction as any on his lot. Though per-, haps half of the fruit are stung by the moth, and thus become a little wormy, the balance is good; and by using - the injured ones first, lie "gets along." ,• - All these are encouraging. Alitee more care in looking after the trees,-and -a little judgment in caring fur the fruit raised, would make a half a dozen well-selected rees give fruit enough for some familiesfe a whole season. —Germantma Telegraph, ADVANTAbEB OF FOREFLANDUDINESS."- - ; Some farmers complain that they are alwityli behind with their work on account of no* being forehanded enough to carry on the premises independently; that they have help their neialibots in seed time and hi* vest before attending to their farm interesit4 in order to procure funds to help to do thee work. :I\:'ow, the man who gets into thi)i; tut is destined to remain there just as long,. as be has not resolution enough toextricate's himself by a change of practice.
