THE REWARD OF COURTESY
A TRUE ACCOUNT.
A few years since, on a radiant spring af
ternoon, two men, who from their conversa
tion appeared to be foreigners stopped before
the gate of one of the lan'e workshops in
Philadelphia for the manufacture of locomo
tive engines. Entering a small office, the el
der of the two men inquired of the superin
tendent in attendance if he would permit him
to inspect the works.
'You can pass in and look about if you
please," said the Superintendent, vexed ap
parently at being interrupted in, the perusal
of his newspaper. He Scanned the two stran
gers more closely. Thoy were respectably
but plainly clad, and evidently made no pre
tensions to official dignity of any kind.
"Is there any one who can show us.over
the establishment and explain matters to us?"
asked Mr. Wolf, the elder of' the two stran
gers.
"You must pick your, own way, gentle
men," replied the Superintendent;—"we are
all too busy to attend every party that comes
along I'll thank you not to interrupt the
workmen by asking questions."
It was not so much the matter as the man
ner of the reply, that was offensive to Mr.
Wolf and his companion. It was spoken
with a certain official assumption of superi
ority, mingled with contempt for the visit
ors, indicating a haughty and selfish •temper
on the part of the speaker.
"I think we will not trouble you," said
Mr.- Wolf, bowing; and taking his compan
ion's arm, they'passed out
"If' there is anything I dislike, it is inci
vility," said Mr. Wolf, when they were in
the street, do not blame the man for not
wisniog to show us over his establishment;
—he is no doubt. annoyed and interrupted
by many heedless visitors, but he might have
dismissed us with courtesy, lie ;night have
sent us away better content with a gracious
refusal thanwith' an ungracious consent "'.
"Perhaps," said the ether stranger. "we
shall have better luck here;" and they stop
pod before another workshop of a similar
kind. They were received by a brisk little
man, the head clerk apparently, who in reply
to their request to be shown over the eltab
lishment, answered: "0, yes!
_came with'me,
gentlemen. This way." So saying, lie

brass, broken and rusty heels of iron, inn- ,

thing, he led tbe strangers • along, with •the_
evident intender' of getting rid of their' as
soon as Possible', When they passed where

The strangers walked on for nearly a half
mile in silence, when one of them pointed to
a humble sign, with a picture of a :locomo
tive engine with a train of ears underneath.
It overtopped a small building not more than
ten feet in height, communicating - with a
yard and workshop. "Look," said ob
server, "here is a machinist whose name is
not on our list. Probably it was thought too
small a concern for our purpose," said his
companion. "Nevertheless let us try," said
Mr. Wolf.
They entered,. and found at the desk a
dille•aged whose—somewhat—grimy-I
aspect an , apron aroma is wets , : • •..
that he divided his labors between the work
shop and counting room.
"We want to look over your works, if you
have no objection;". said Mr. Wolf.
"It will give the great pleasure to show
you all that is to be seen," said the mechan
ic, with a pleased alacrity. ringing a bell,
telling the boy who entered to take charge
of the office
He then led the way, and explained to the
strangers the whole process of constructing a
locomotive engine. He showed them .how
the various Farts of the machinery were
manufactured, and patiently answered all
their questions. He told them of an impro
ved mode of tubing boilers, by which the
power of generating steam was increased, and
showed with what care he • provided for se
curity from bursting.
Two . hours passed rapidly away. The
strangers were delighted with the intelli
gence displayed by thelmeelianic, and with
his frank, attentive and unsuspicious man
ners.
"Here is a man who loves his profession
so well, that he takes pleasure in explaining
its mysteries to all who can understand them,"
said Mr. Wolf.
"I am afraid we have given you a deal of
trouble," said the other stranger.
"Indeed, gentlemen, I have enjoyed your
visit," said the mechanic, "aud I shall be
glad to see you again " •
- "Perhaps you may," said Mr. Wolf, and
the strangers departed.
Five months afterwards, as the mechanic,
whose means were quite limited, sat in his
office meditating how hard it was to get bu
siness by the side of such large establish
ments as were his competitors, tae tWo stran
gers entered. . He gave them a hearty wel
come, handed chairs,
and all sat down.
"We come," said Mr. Wolf, "with a pro
position to you from the Emperor of Itussih,
to visit,St. Petersburg."
"From the Emperor? Impossible!"
"Here are your credentials."
"But, gentlemen," said the now agitated
mechanic, "what does this mean? How have
I earned such an honor?"
• "Simply by your straightfor war.' courtesy
and frankness, combined with professional
intellioence," said Mr. Wolf. "Because we
were strangers you did not think it necesmit
ry to treat us with coldness or distrust. You
saw wo were really interested in acquainting
ourselves' with your works, and you did not
ask us, before extending to us your civili
ties, what letters of introduction we brought.
You measured us by the spirit we showed,
and not by the dignities we might have ex
hibited."
The mechanic viL-ited St Petersburg, and
soon afterwards removed his whole establish-
ment there. Ile had Imperial orders there
for as many locomotive engines as he .could
construct. He has .lately returned to his
own country, and is still receiving large re
turns from his Russian workshop. And all
this prosperity grew out of his unselfish ci
vility to two strangers, one of whom was t
secret Agent of 'the Czar of Russia.
Rich and Poor
It is a matter of shame that any journal,
or anybody claiming intelligence and respec.
Lability, should in this country attempt to
create distinctions of classes, and put the
rich against the poor, or the poor against the
rich. Yet there are'such, whose labors are
as contemptible as they are wicked, to:this
country there are no material distinctions. of
classes. Every man who earns a comfortable
honest living, end is intelligent and virtuous,
is independently r:oh, and may command
respect and esteem, and aspire to all the hon.
ors and dignities incident to sovereign citi•
zenship. We have no titles here, or entrils,
nor hereditary estates, and all wealth merely
in money and in goods, in the• average of
classes, however accumulated to day, Will
return to its original sources in two or three
generations. It seldom needs more than
the children to scatter the father's estate—
earned by enterprise and industry.
It is all nonsense to talk about aristoard
cy here. Every honest and industrious
man is nr aristocrat in his trade, or ought to
be. By this we mean that every honest
calling is of superlative dignity in itself;
that its professor can make it just as respec
table, ft not profitable as he pleases. • Let
even the chimney ,sweeper stand on. the
dignity of his trade, and he cap be as haugh
ty if need be, as the Wall strent . Shaver With

fashions and. efinernents,. are not properly

and disdainful airs are all they can boast,
'and whom to envy, ridicule or decry, is. 'un

In Sangamon county, Illinois, •lived Dea

Christian,.and • a perfect model of propriety.
Deacon Brown had the misfortune to lose
his wife, and at the age of forty found him
self with a fortune and Tour small children;
without a naistress - to - his - farixthouse: A - s he
could not immediately take another wife and
escape seandle, and could not get along with
out a person to take charge of the kitchen
and nursery, he had recourse to employing a
young woman as an house, maid. Nancy

`by way of testing the strength of human na
ture, but, at last in a moment of unguarded
weakness, he was led into temptation—into
committing a slight indiscretion with his
beautiful housemaid. When, in his wonted
coolness and presence of mind, be was horri
,
fled at the enormity of his sin, in vain he re
pented and grieved over lost virtue. Final
ly, as a last resort for casing his conscience, jl
at the conclusion of services on the following
Sabbath morning, he arose, and requested
the forbearance of the brethren.and sisters a
few minutes, and electrified them by waking
the following confession.
'llly Christian friends' you all are aware
that I lost my wife some time ago, [sobs and
tears] and that Nancy Stearns has been keep
ing house for me; and you know that I have
a child not a year old. Well that little child
would cry in the night, and it would be a
long time before I could quiet it•; and last
Tuesday night, God forgive me--the child
cried so hard that Nancy arose and came in
to the room, and leaned over the bed to hush
the child; and brothers and sisters, her lean
in,,o over me made me forget CI - fist!
And hereupon the worthy Deacon broke
down entirely, and stood weeping, wailing
and blowing his nose.
'What did you do?' sternly demanded the
minister.
'l—l—ki—lci—kissed her!' stammered out
the deacon between loud sobs; 'But I have
been very sorry about it, and prayed to be
forgive; and pray fol. me brothers and sis
ters!
As the Deacon bowed himself upon his
seat, like the mighty oak before the tornado,
Deacon GoodfellOw arose from his pew, - and
astonished the wondering audience still more
by saying. '
'Brothelemill sisters, you have all heard
what Bitther Br wn has said, and now he
wants our forgive Es, For my own part, I
think Brother Brown is truly penitent r ami-
I am willing to forgive hini with my Whole
heart And brothers and sisters, I will add
still further, that if I had no wife, and a
pretty girl like Nancy Stearis should come
to my room and lean over me, I'd kiss her,
and abide the consequences.'. •

Put a Good Face Upon it.
It you wish to succeed in life, if you wish
to find friends, if you visit' year, relatives or
associates to enjoy your corepany, Wear a
cheerful face; everybody dislikes and shuns
a sad one, if it is habitually sad. Everybody
but God grows weary of being reminded of
sorrow, and the heart that is always full of
bitter waters will be left alone. Pretend to
be happy if you can do no more. Coax sun
beams to your eyes, smiles to your lips.—
Speak hopeful, yea .words as often as you
can; make fun if you never feel it. Got the
name of being cheerful, and it will be as in
cerse to you. Wherever the glad faCe goes
it is welcome; whatever the laughing lips
ask is apt to be granted. If you are starv
ing for want of either food for body or spirit
it is better to laugh tliPu to cry as you tell
the tale. There was one - once who, with a
face like a tombs'one. told and told her
wants, and met with repulse after \repulse
from those whose faces fell at sight of her;
but at last, laughing in strange mirth at her
Own misery, she told. it once again. Tears
started into the eyes of, her bearers, and in

Dont give way to them, no matter what the
case may be get back the smiles as quickly
as you can. Let them he bu t "hollow
smiles," if that's the best you can do. Keep
at - that. By and by ynu will do better.—
Laugh to keep from crying. Never give
up to gloom. It is a wrong to those about
you. Sad faces add to the weight of trouble
that life lays upon every heart. Wo to us
if we cannot look about us and see bravely
cheerful faces to encourage our hearts! Let
us be careful that each one of us has one of
these faces., A man who carries a glad face
does an amount of good in the world impos
sible to compute, even if he be too poor to
give one.cent in charity, and a man whose
face is generally sad', does every day of his
life, more harm than can be reckoned: This
is a,hard work:, full of all manner of trou

• One of the public questions which comes

"that ofequalizing the basis of t;ongressional

but a vastly greater power, so that, man for

twice as much in influence upon all

questions as a loyal man, so that in the I - Thuse

Our train. rolled out from the Union de l
pot in the early part of the night, bound for
the North. The weather vras just sufficient
ly cool to make one fecl agreeable in .good
company. The whistle sounded for the first
station north of the Hoosier Capital. As
usual, everybody "poked". their heads out• to
see something, if it was there. "Just mar
ried," spoke an old lady, as she drew her
bead in, after satisfying woman's curiosity.
and who could see further into a mill stone
than any one else of our party.
Every one was satisfied that the old lady
was correct, as they witnessed the"hugs and
kisses" on the give and take principle, and
saw the surviving relatives climbing into
their country wagons. The conductor pass
ed the new couple to a seat, and, the cars roll
ed swiftly away. The first parting had been
gone through with, and the dear old home
and the loved ones there could be seen• only
by the eyes of memory.
The fair young bride had forsaken home,
parents and all that was dear to her youth
ful heart, for the one she had an hour• be
fore pledged her love forever. She had giv
enup everything for the ooe she believed
was dearer than all the world beside. The
brightest pictures •of joy and life dazzled
her eyes to the sorrow and grief of the fu
ture.
An hour had passed, and passengers were
getting droWsy. Many began to change po
sitions, and fold themselves up, cat fashion,
on the seats. The conductor of the sleep
ing car soon came along, and passing from
one to another, he notified them of a. change
for a good rest ib the rear car. /it length
he came to the groom and bride. ."Double
berth in sleeping car, you can have Ulf you

the conductor. The bride blushed, dropped
her eyes a moment, and then looked into the
face of her chosen, Her oyes rested upon
him, and spoke more love than one can write
in two weeks. Her swelling bosom told of
the heart that was struggling to leap from
its prison house s to embrace the object dim;
affection. "What does it cost in sleeping
cars ?" asked the new husband., '•Ouly one
dollar and a half," answered the conductor.

Character
There is a glare about worldly success
which is very apt to dazzle: men's eyes.—
When we see a than rising in the world,
thriving in business, successful in his specu
lations, if he be a man out of our line, who
_does, not come into competition with us, so
ns to make us jealous of him, we are apt to
form a foolishly high opinion of his merits.
We aretapt to say within ourselves, 'What
a wonderful man this must be, to rise so
rapidly!' forgetting that dust and straw and
feathers—things with neither -weight nor
value in them—rise the soonest and the
easiest. In like manner it is not the truly
great and good man, generally speaking,
who rises the most rapidly into wealth and no—
tice. A mau may be sharp, active, quick,
dexterous, cunning; he may be ever on th.•
watch for opportunities, to push his fortune;
a man of this kind can hardly fail of getting
on in the world, yet, with all this, be may
not have a grain of real greatness about
him, Ile may be all I have-described,: and -
yet have no greatness of mind, no greatness
of soul. Ile may be utterly without sytn•
pathy and fellow feeling-for others; he may
be utterly devoid of all wisdom; he may he
without piety and without charity, without
love, that is either f.fr God or man.
