April , i78. tf The Best Thing a Boy can Have. ''rpiiEUE, mother! I've worked the 1 Inst day I'm going to work -for Btilnap I lie's tlie crossest, hatefulest man that ever lived ! Just because Mrs. Barry lifted her eyes from the cap that was lying at her feet to the fluahed and heated face of the speaker. " That will do, my son. If you have concluded not to work any more for Mr. Belnap pick up your cap and put It where it belongs." That low, even tone and quiet man ner had a visible efl'ect upon Arthur. Ticking up bis cap, he hung It upon Its nail, back of the door. Full of his lmnglnary wrongs, he com menced again, though iu a more sub dued tone and manner. " You see, mother" " Before you say anything further, get roe a pitcher of cool water; and while you are at the pump, dash some of it over your face, head and neck. You don't know how much better it will make you feel." Mrs. Barry had trained her' children to prompt and unquestioning obedience, thereby saving herself and them a great deal of trouble; and without a thought of doing otherwise, Arthur took the pitcher and went to the pump, out of which, in spite of his plug, sparkling water dripped all the day long. Holding his head under the cool, re freshing stream for some minutes he gave the brown curls a shake that sent the drops flying in every direction. Then filling the pitcher he went in. It was a maxin of Mrs. Barry's that if she wanted her children to be gentle and polite she must be gentle and polite with them ; so she took the glass of water from Arthur's hand with just as pleasant thank you as if he had been some other woman's boy. Then she drew forward a chair, which mute invitation Arthur accepted. " Now I want to tell you about It mother, and I'm sure you won't blame me at all. I was a little late this morn ing, and old Belnap " " Who V" "That's what the boys call him, mother," I'm very sorry. I hope my son, who have been better taught, will set them a better example. I suppose they don't speak of him in that way when he is where he can hear them V" " Oh 1 no; they would'nt dare to 1" " And yet they are so mean and cow ardly as to call him so behind hisbackl" Now Arthur had thought this won derfully smart in Will Guernsey and John Dill, who were in the habit of speaking of their employer, among themselves, as "Old Belnap," or "the old man ;" but he was a manly little fel low, despising anything mean orcoward ly, and his mother's words gave quite another complexion to it. "Well, Mr. Belnap, then. He was as cross as a bear, just because I was a little bit late. Said that boys who wanted to work for him must be punctual. And then when a case of goods came, and he couldn't find the hammer, he charged me with mislaying it. And when I said I had not touched it, he knew better, and there it was, all the time, right un der the desk, where he had put it him self." " It is a great misfortune to be so for getful." " But he needn't have been so cross about it," " It is a greater misfortune to have a hasty temper. Perhaps he was never taught to control it when a boy." " I don't care 1 I think it's real mean for Belnap to treat me so 1 Don't you, mother V" " I think you have not told things exactly as they were." "Why, mother?" " Not intentionally, my son ; I should be very sorry to believe such a thing of you as that. But there are various ways by which people form the habit of speaking untruthfully, and one of these is by exaggerating. Don't you remember my showing you an in strument, looking through one end of which made every thing seem twice as large, and through the other they looked so small that you could scarcely see them at all f Now, we have just such an instrument in our minds. We look through the large end at the faults of other people, making them seem twice as large as they are, and through the small end at our own, making them look so small that very often we cannot see them at all. Now, I'm afraid that this is the way you have been doing by Mr. Belnap." " I'm almost sure, mother, that I haven't said the least bit of anything that is not true about him I" " Let us see. In the first place you said 'that he was the crossest and hate fulest mao that ever lived.' 'Now, even could you have known all the cross, dis agreeable people that ever existed, is that true?'" Arthur made no reply, and Mrs. Barry continued: "Don't you remember how kind he ho was to the Widow Connor Y How he let Joe's wages go on last winter, when he was sick, besides sending his own doctor to attend him V And when little Mary died, who rent us the flow ers that made her look so sweet in her coffin, and spoke such comforting words tousV" Arthur had been tenderly attached to his baby sister, and his face looked sober as he said : " I don't think I meant exactly what I said about his being so cross. But all ths rest was true." " Let us tee again. You were a little late. Now, when you went to work for Mr. Belnap, you agreed to be at the store at eight o'clock every morning. It was twenty minutes past eight when you left here. It would not take less than ten minutes to reach the store ; so you must have been half an hour late." " Half an hour isn't a great while mother." " But supposing all the people in Mr. Belnap's employ were half an hour later1 It would amount to all of a day, if not more. And then this half hour was not yours ; it belonged to your employer, lie paid you for it ; and it was his. If you had risen when I had called you, you would have got there in time, and Mr. Belnap would have no occasion to feel so much out of patience with you." There was a pause of some moments, which was broken by A rthur. " Have I got to go back there again mother V" " Not unless you choose. You are now old enough to reason, and, in some respects, to decide for yourself. But if you don't go to school, yon will have to work for some one, and I don't believe that you will find anybody to do better by you than Mr. Belnap." " I hate to; I told Will Guernsey and John Dill that I wasn't going back there any more." "If you think that was a wise thing for you to say, of course you won't go back there any more. But if you think it a hasty and foolish speech, it will make you more careful what you say another time." " Don't you care, mother V' " I care to have my boy do what is right. I care more for that than any thing in the wide world ; but I don't like to compel him, now that he is old enough to compel himself." As well as A rthur liked his own way, he did not care to assume the responsi bility that went with it. " But I wish you would tell me what I'm to do?" . " I will tell you what I would do, if I were in your place. I would go to the store to-morrow at half-past seven When Mr. Belnap comes in I would say : 'Mr. Belnap, I came half an hour earlier this morning to make up for be ing so late yesterday, and I mean to be more punctual in the future.' This is the course I would like to have you to take my son ; and I don't believe you will be sorry for it, either. But you must do it freely, and of your own ac cord." Here the mother and son were inter rupted. The next noon Arthur came home quite as excited as he was the day be fore, but with a very different look upon his face. " Oh I mother, I did as you advised me, aud what do you think Mr. Belnap said Tf He said that I was a good honest boy, and that he would raise my pay, next montn, a aoiiar a wees. 1 was ashamed enough, and told him' that it wasn't my idea at all ; it was yours. Then he said, 'a good, amiable mother, like yours, is the very best thing a boy can have.' And oh ! I do think that I've got just the best and dearest mother in the world." A Plucky Woman. "ME" ISADORE MIDDLETON, very beautiful woman, and one of the acknowledged leaders of fash ion in Mobile, can certainly boast of the possession of as much nerve and true moral courage as are often vouchsafed to any of her sex. " One evening she was in her boudoir putting away some articles of Jewelry, when she noticed the peculiar position of a library lamp that was horning upon a chair In the back part of the room had thrown upon the floor, almost directly at her feet, the shadow of a man who was crouching under the broad-topped orna mental table in the centre of the room. She also remarked that the open hand of the shadow had but two fingers, and remembered that several desperate bur glaries had recently been committed in the neighborhood, supposltitiously by a negro desperate, who was notorious as having lost two fingers on his right hand. " Mr. Mlddleton was absent from the city, and, besides herself in the house, there was but a single maid servant. Instead of fainting with fear or shriek ing for help, the brave lady seated her self at the very table underneath which the miscreant was concealed, and rang for the servant. " Hand me writing materials, Bridg et," said she, with perfect calmness. " I want you to take a note this instant to Mr. Forfalr, the jsweler, and have him send you back with my diamond necklace and ear-drops which I left there for repairs several days ago. Bring them with you, no matter if fully repaired or not. They are by twenty-fold the most valuable articles of Jewelry that I possess, and I do not wish to pass another night without having them in my bureau drawer." . The note was at once written and dis patched, but instead of being In the tenor that she had signified (on' purpose for the concealed robber to overhear, for she had uo jewelry on repair), it was a hasty note to the Jeweler, an intimate friend, In which she succinctly stated her terrible position, and urged him to hasten to her relief, with a requisite police assistance, Immediately on receipt of the missive. " The agonies which that refined and delicate woman underwent when left alone in the house, with the conscious ness of the presence of that desperate robber, perhaps assassin as well, crouched under the very table, upon where she leaned, and perhaps touched by her skirts, can only be left to the reader's imagination ; but her iron nerve sus tained her through the ordeal. She yawned, hummed an operatic air, turn ing over the leaves of a novel, and in other ways lulled the lurker into the sense of perfect security and expectancy, and waited, waited with a wildly beat ing heart, and her eyes fastened upon the hand of the little ormulu clock with a greedy, feverish gaze. " At last however, came the prayed for reHef. There was a ring at the door bell, and she strolled carelessly into the hall and down stairs to open it. The ruse had been a success. She not only admitted Bridget, but also Mr. Forfalr and three stalwart policemen. The lat ter passed stealthily up stairs, in the boudoir, where they suddenly pounced upon the concealed burglar so unex pectedly as to secure him with hardly a struggle. " The prisoner proved to be a negro criminal named Clapman, but mostly known as ' Two fingered Jeff,' -who was in great request about that time for several robberies committed in the neighborhood a short time before, and he is now serving a twenty years' sen tence in the Alabama State Prison." Notes on the Chinese Character. A LADY writing to the Boston 2Yan- script concerning the Chinese says : What the personal, private habits of the Chinaman may have been I cannot say, but so far as one could judge by outside appearances and conduct they were an example of good to us all. They were temperate, frugal, thlfty, peaceable, trustworthy as house servants and out- of-doors laborers, they kept their word faithfully and showed gratitude to those who treated them kindly. Storekeepers, who would not trust a white man for a dollar, would give a Chinaman credit for twenty, knowing that he never repudiated his debt, and would live on the proverbial " handful of rice" for weeks, handing over each night his days' earnings until he had paid up all. The only thing I ever knew a China man to steal were pigs and chickens. These two temptations were almost ir resistible; yet, if you trusted them, they would refrain from appropriat ing these covered treasures. Soon after I went to the mountains said to my washerman, "The boys tell me you Chinamen will steal all my chickens, but I don't believe it; I shall trust you, and let them roost on the bushes." His black eyes twinkled as be said, " Me tell Chinaman little wifee say so ; Chinaman no steal little wlfeeschicken." I never lost one, but often had them given to me with the words, " Little wifee tink Chinaman like Melician man ; China man lemember." One day a good-looking Chinaman came with a bag of gold and an inter preter, and offered to buy me. He was willing to pay $3,600, a river claim, with water-wheel and other needful machine ry for working it, for a good American wife, and looked very much disappoint ed when he found I was not for sale. I dare say the boping-to-be-emanolpated women will exclaim at my total de pravity when I tell you I felt compli mented. It is not every woman who has seen her weight in gold offered for her, not to mention the other " fixins," and as one of the reasons given for his wish to own me was highly creditable that " I stay ed at home and kept thehouHeclean,and made very good bread." Skating to Church, In Norway. " You will see a strange sight, I think; to-day," said my host, as we were pre paring to set out to church, which was close by. And, Indeed It was a strange siirbt Far off in the distance I could discern a number of objects moving swiftly down a mountain, slope there were about thirty or forty, so far as I could make out, in all. What they Were I could not at first conceive ; but present ly they again came Into view, and I could see that they were men, women and children, of all ages and sixes, skat ing. It was "christening Sunday," and several of the women were carrying tbelr infants In an ingeniously contriv ed basket, without apparently suffering any inconvenience. In the far north, indeed, my host In formed me, the Laps, who are very skillful skaters, and punclilllous in the discbarge of tbelr rellgiouB duties, bury their children in the snow outside the church while they (the parents) attend the service. Do not start, reader! The reason Is that their cries might disturb the congregation ; and it l far warmer for them underneath the snow, wrapped up in a " pelt," or skin, than the church. A trusty dog is stationed near them to keep off the wolves, should they be prowling about In the neighborhood. Useless Advice to Young Men. The true girl has to be sought for. She does not parade herself as show goods. She is not fashionable. Generally, she Is not rich. Bat oh I what a heart she has when you find her I so large and pure and womanly. When you see it you wonder if those showy thlngB out side were women. If you gain her love your two thousand are millions. She'll not ask you for a carriage or first-class house. She'll wear simple dresses, and turn them when necessary, with no vul gar magnificat to frown upon her econo my. She'll keep everything neat and. nice in your sky parlor, and give ' you Buoh a welcome when you come home . that you'll think your parlor higher than ever. She will entertain true friends on a dollar, and astonish you with the new thought bow little happi ness depends on money; She will make you love home (if you don't you are a brute), and teach you how to pity, while you scorn a poor, fashionable so ciety that thinks itself rich, and vainly tries to think itself happy. Now, do not, I pray you, say any more, "I can't afford to marry." Go,, find the true woman and you can Throw away that cigar, burn up that switch cane, be sensible yourself, and seek your wife in a sensible way. An Elegant Home Saved from Tobacco Smoke. If a person who is given to any habit of dissipation could have calculated be forehand all its cost, from the time that it was begun he would, doubtless never, have suffered himself to become fts eer, vant. Many a man by merely laying up what a vice costs him in money would find it a better investment than a life insurance. An exchange mentions the successful result of an experiment in this line by a Mr. Hubbard, of Connec ticut. He was about eighteen years old when he determined to lay aside day by day, the money he would have spent for cigars had he been a smoker. At the end of each month he deposited the sum thus accumulated in the savings bank. As the price of good cigars advanced, he correspondingly increased the money laid by each day. At times when bis savings in the bank had reached a few hundred dollars he drew them out to make a more profitable investment. By careful management the fund at length amount ed to over of eighteen thousand dollars. A few years since, Mr. Hubbard took this money and with it purchased a charming Bite on Greenwich Hill, and built a comfortable and commodious house for himself and his family. The place overlooks Long Island Sound and commands one of the finest and wildest views that can be found on the Connec ticut coast. Aneedote of Lincoln. During the rebellion, an Austrain count applied to President Lincoln for a position in the army. Being introduced by the American minister, he needed, of course, no further recommendation ; but, as if fearing that his importance might not be duly appreciated, he pro ceeded to explain that he was a count that his family were ancient and high ly respectable; when Lincoln, with a merry twinkle in his eye, tapping the aristocratlo lover of titles on the should er, in a fatherly way, as if the man had confessed some wrong, interrupted in a soothing tone, " Never mind ; you shall be treated with just as much considera tion for all that Tt A Good Housewife. The good housewife, when she is giv ing her house its spring rennovatiug, should bear In mind that the dear inmates of her bouse are more precious that many bouses, and that their systems need cleansing by purifying the blood, regulating the stomach aud bowels to prevent and cure thedlaease arising from spring malaria aud miasma, and she must know that there Is nothing that will do it so perfectly and surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best of medicines.
