HE BEGGAR.
A TRUE TALE
One cold winter morning, the last Sun
day of Decembet, 1849, a half naked man
knocked timidly at the-basement door of a
fine, substantial mansion in the city of Brook
lyn. Though the weather was bitter even
for the season, the young man had no cloth
ing but a ragged pair of cloth pants, and the
remains of a flannel shirt which exposed his
muscular chest in many large rents. But in
spite of his tattered apparel and evident
fatigue, as he leaned heavily upon the rail
ing of the basement stairs, a critical observer
could not fail to notice a conscious air of
dignity, and the marked-traces of cultivation
and refinement in his pale haggard counten
ance.
The aoor was speedialy opened, and dis
closed a large, comfortably furnished room
with its glowing grate of anthracite; before
which was placed a luxuriously furnished
breakfast table; A fashionably attired young
man, in a brocade dressing gown and velvet
slippers, was reclining on a soft fautenil,
busily reading the morning papers. The
beautiful young wife had lingered at the
table, gitiim , the servant in waiting her or
ders for the household matters of the day.
when the timid rap at the door aqracted her
attention. She commanded it to be opened,
but the young master of the mansion replied
that it was quite useless—bring no one but
sonic thievi.h beggar; hut the dour was al
ready opened, and the sympath ies of Mrs.
Maywood enlisted at once.
'Collie in to the Eire,' cried the young
wife, impulsively 'before you peri,hr

Site ran hastily up the richly mounted
staircase, and paused before the entrance of
a small labratory and medical library, and
occupied solely by her husband, who was a
physician and practical chemist. She open
ed the door and entered, the room. Dr.
Maywood was sitting at a small table, with
his head re s ting on his hand, apparently in
-
deep thought.
-'Edward,' said the young wife gently
touching his arm, 'I fear I have displeased
you, but the man looked so wretched, I could
not bear to-drive himaway,' and her sweet
voice trembled as she added—'You. know

'Dear Mary,' replied the fond husband
'I appreciate your motives. I know it is
pare goodness of heart which leads you to
disobey me, but still I must command—that
no beggar shall ever be premitted to enter
the house.' It is for your own safety that
I insist upon it. How deeply you might be
imposed upon in my frequent absence from
home I shudder to think.' -
The man that is now below may be but a
burglar in disguise, and already in your • ab

age( vice, dearest.'
'lt may be so,' responded Mrs. Maywood
`but it seems wicked not to relieve suffering
and want even if the persons h:ave behaved
badly—and we know it 13ut I promise you
not to ask another beggar into the house.'
At this moment the servant rapped vio
lently at ih'e door, crying out thut file beg

Eilwayil, your skill can save him,
I know,' said his wife, hastening from the

The doctor did not refme
his prote,si,mal vanity for he immediately
followed his wife's hying footsteps ti.• she
descended to the basement. They found the

'He is doing well, let him rest as long as

doctor, professionally, as . he lett the room.
In less than an hour afterwards, Dr. May
wood and his lovely wife entered the gor
_geousrehurch of 'the most Hely Trinity..
And the hundreds-or fair dames that en

taste and magnificence that abundant wealth
could procure, not one reveled in grace and
beauty, the orphan bride of the rich physi
cian. tier tall, graceful figure was robed in
a violet silk, that only hightened by contrast
her large azure eyes, bright with the — lastre
of youthful happinesi-; yet, there was a touch
of tender pity in their drooping lids that won
the confidence of every beholder. The snowy
carmine :nantilla which protected her from
th piercing wind, rivaled, but could not sur
pass the delicate purity of her complexion.
Many admiring eyes followed the faulileis
figure of Mrs Maywood, as she moved with
unconscious grace up the aisle of the Church
but none with more heartfelt devotion than
the young, wayward, but generous matt who
hid recently wed her in spite of her pover

The Salt Lake Dail 47'elegraph says the

whether he was guided by a 'revelation' we
are not told. The head builder thinks 'any
person whq, has not seen the building can
have a very good. idea of the roof' by tinmag

To a groop - of these trees the name of 'the

known as 'the — b - ermit,' and two others are
'the mother and her son.' The mother

it seems in its full health and strength.
A part of the bark of this tree, a foot and
a half thick, was stripped from the trunk to
the height of a hundred feet. Uour months
were occupied in its removal; every piece was
carefully numbered as it was cut down, and
it has been put up in the Crystal Palace ex

The inside of this bark is fitted ,up as a

that the portion of the tree that you gazil

erected Log huts, a sawmill, tannery, grist

makers, tailors, carpenters, cot. In 1814,

the eon tributibn9 to the , general fund was
burnt. After another ten years - had passed
away, becanaino dissatisfied, they again cast
about them, and finally settled upon 'file - tin=

their wanderings; now for a brief description
of them in their present home. a The village
is situated on a beautiful plain, between the
river and hills, with some of the richest
land in the country. The locality is health
ful and the air is delightful, and is easily
reached'hy rail or water from Pittsburg
The place reminds one forcibly of Lowell or
Manchester, or any other large manuf.tetur•
ing town. This is not exaggerated, as there
are there to he seen cotton. wollen apd silk
factories, made of brick, all of which do a
thriving business. The place is laid oat in
squares and, the entrances to the houses
are at the side or back, but never in front.
These people own over six thousand acres
ot land, with four miles frontage on river
and railroad. In summer the men dress in
suits of blue jean, and wear the most ridiou
rdshats, bell-crowned, narrow rim, of straw,
and tfliostly on the back of their heads.
Ia the winter their clothing is • of heavy
blue c (All they wear the same shaped

fashions are uniform, however 110 trouble
about hoops, chignons, etc. They attend
to household duties, - and in their spare time
work in the garden'.
After their two first years at Economy
they adopted celibacy, and marriage was dis.
countenanced. 'ltapp did not condemn mat
rimony as being unlawful in those who had
not within themselves a vocation to what he
regarded as a holier state. But in view of
the expected near approach of the Messiah's
second advent, and of that 'first resurrection,'
in which they neither marry nor arc given in

"BE DILIGENT_ IN BUSINESS.'
Franklin heti somewhere said be owed a
considerable share of his success in life to
the impression made upon him, While yet a
boy at home, by a passage in the book of
Kings, that those who were "d►lligent in
business" should stand in- the presence of

should especially lay this truth to heart.—

they see their rich employers dining,,Tin fine
houses, dressing expensively,, doing .
hard work, or lavishing time or money in
other ways, that they also may do the same.

wait to enjoy life till they had won the right
