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

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

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,

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

for their manufacture, tools and weapons of

strings, several thousand double cones that
were pierced with a hole, and known under

which has left these memorials was untio- ;

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

still advanced manufacture; several thou

Modern Hermits.
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. Magazine editors apply to him for
articles; newspapers send reporters" to have
interviews with him; he attracts a crowd of
disciples,*and in a very short thi n e his re
tiring eccentricity has made him notorious
or famous, as the caseznay be. This at any
rate is the danger cif such a life, and it
makes people naturally Iskfeptical as to the
reality of the- care c. It the recluse can
prove hitnself a great man, well and good;
if not, he must b nntent to be laughed at.
Originality, as r. itzjatnes Stephen has
very truly oils reed, does not consist in wri
ting and thin ing differently from Other peo
ple, but in thinking and writing better than
other people.—Galan.

Ft tional Economy.
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,

about taking leave, when be Was asked by
the Earl Whether lie had seen tlz sails ng

" NP," said Finlayson; "what sort of a
thing is it?"
"It is," replied the Earl, a tree that has
grown out' of a goose's mouth from a stone
the bird had ewallowed,'and Which she bears
about with her in her voyages around the
loth. Now Finlayson,"- he 'added, "can
you, with all your powers" of Memory and
fancy, match my story of the cherry tree?"

ing his throat, and adding: When Olivet
Cromwell was at Airth and of his cannon
sent a ball to Stirling and lodged it in the
mouth of a trumpet which one of the troops
was in the act -of sounding." ,
"Was the trumpeter killed - 1" said, the
Earl.
"No, my lord," replied Flnlayaon; "he
blew the ball back„and - killed the artillery

After the declaration . of independence in
the - United States each State commenced
the task of drawing up and passing new
laws and a form of government t 6 replace
those which they had destroyed. During
this time there were tedious and bitter de
bates in the Pennsylvania•• Assembly, and at
the end of two or three months they found
themselves just where they started. Mean
while everything went on as usual in the,
community; there were no troubles, no pub
lic disorder of any kind, and one day Frank
lin said to the representatives or deputies:
"Gentlemen, I would call your attention to
the fact tlint while we are, here in a state of
perfect' anarchy the people are conducting
their affairs just as usual. Take-care! If
our disputes continue much longer they may
find out that they can do without us."

the proper time for marketing comes; but--
those who have but a few trees 'and ,grow

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

The gathering should be done by hand,

early decay is a consequence. After gath

that have been injured by grubs 'or cater

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

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,
