An Unexpected Promotion.
0NCK upon a time a certain gentle
man, who lived splendidly and did
not pay bis debts, owed Lis shoemaker a
large bill, and the shoemaker having
been told to call again many times, and
having written notes, without end ask
ing for a settlement, resolved to disgrace
his customer by exposing him to his
friends the very next time he gave one
of those large dinner parties which so
excited the creditor's ire.
Accordingly, having seen the wagons
of the caterer shop before the door, and
watched the waiters enter one by one,
Mr. Shoemaker attired himself In his
Sunday suit, and with his little bill ele
gantly written out, awaited the appear
ance of the carriages, and when at least
fifty had arrived, set down their burdens
and departed, he stalked up to the door
steps like a vengeful ghost, and ringing
the bell furiously, found it opened for
him with Btartllng celerity, and stood
fuce to face with a tall, black waiter,
white gloved and stately.
" Where's Mr. Cheatem V" whHp;red
the shoemaker.
" Gentlemen's dressing-room, second
floor back," replied the waiter.
Some one else had arrived and was
treading on his heels. A vision of
splendor, in the most wonderful, soft
white wraps floated past him.
" Ladies, front room, second floor:
gentlemen back," repeated the dusky
waiter.
The Bhoemtvker was hustled forward,
hat In hand, and saw his delinquent
debtor, In all the elegance of dress coat,
button-hole flower and white cravat,
bowing to, shaking hands with and
smiling upon aristocratic personnges
innumerable.
The sight fanned anew th flame of
the tradesman's Just wrath, lie march
ed forward, planted himBelf directly be
fore the elegant Mr. Cheatem and stared
him in the face.'
But Cheatem did not wilt. . He knew
his guest well enough and he understood
his purpose ; but what he did say was :
" Beg pardon ; for the moment I've
forgotten your name.
" Have you 1 Then perhaps you'll
remember me when I tell you thqt I
made your boots."
Now, If you'll trouble yourself to
repeat these Inst four words rapidly, you
will find that you don't say as you be
lieve you do, " I made your boots," but,
" I majur boots."
The lucky Cheatem detected this fact
on the instant.
" Major Boots 1" he cried, demonstra
tively shaking hands. " Dear, dea'r ;
how could I forget you for a moment t
Delighted to see you delighted. Mrs.
Chlfllns, let meintroduce you to my old
friend Major Boots."
! "So glad to know you," responded
the lady thus Introduced. "I'm sure
I've heard Cousin Cheatem speak of you
a thousand times. Sit down, do, and
tell me who these people are. I'm quite
a stranger, I've isolated myself in
Europe bo long. Sit down ; Major ;
here is a chair."
The newly-christened shoemaker hesi
tated a moment, but it was not possible
for him to cry out, " I'm not Major
Boots, I'm Clamp, the shoemaker, come
for my bill." He found he had not the
courage. He crammed his hat under
the velvet chair to which he was mo
tioned, and subsided into angry silence,
while the old lady went on :
" Oh, Major, I always feel so privil
eged when I have the opportunity to
talk to a military man. I adore cour
age. And were you ever wounded V
Do tell roe all about it."
The bootmaker finding It necessary to
reply, said that , he had never been
wounded."
And the old lady went on :
" Never V How charming 1 Bore a
charmed life, and all that sort of thing.
Do tell me all about it."
The shoemaker replied that there was
nothing to tell. On which that most
gushing of old ladies cried :
"Now, Major, I won't believe that.
It's like the modesty of you celebrated
military men. I know you stormed re
doubts and led forlorn hopes, and were
the only one left of your regiment, and
all that. I'm sure I read all about it at
that time. Oh, here's Colonel Hobbs, a
celebrated English officer ; did some
thing awful brave in India. Colonel,
let me make you acquainted with Major
Boots, one of your bravest military men.
He's been telling me all about the won
derful things he did ia the army. I
mean he wouldn't tell me about them
just like you great men won't trouble
himself to fight his battles over an old
womau."
"Aw awfully charmed, I'm sure,"
responded the gallant Colonel. " Aw
fully, aw. Must introduce you to my
brother, Captain' Hobbs, in the same
weglment with myself.".
The shoemaker hud arisen and look
ing down at his business suit.
"I didn't intend to that is, I didn't
expect to be at fuch a swell ulTairus thi.s
or I I should have worn my dress
suit," he stammered.
" Oh, my dear fellow, we always ex
pect you Amewlcan officers to be wough
and weady. We'd be disappointed if
you were not. The ladles you know
adore wough and weady men. It's the
particular charm of Amewlcans." .
Away he led Hie bootmaker, who real
ly began to feel that he must have beeu
at some period of his life a military man.
And after being introduced as Major
de Boots to Captain Hobbs, who was de
lighted, found himself tete-a-tete with a
very lovely young French lady, who ad
dressed him as " General de Buta," and
whom, at the request of his hostess,
whom he had never seen before, and
who had no idea who he was, he took
down to supper.
Somehow this stranger in his mixed
suit, and with his sulky air, bad been
set down as a tnoBt eccentric and distin
guished military man by every body.
He was regarded with attention, listen
ed to with reverence when be conde
scended lo say a few words. The French
woman introduced him voluminously as
Ueu. de Buta ; aud thus was be address
ed thereafter. The waiters offered him
champagne frequently, and the boot
maker gradually grew exhllerated.
Never had he been at such elegant fes
tivities. Never had he partaken of such
viands been so overwhelmed with fes
tivities. Never had so lovely a creature
leaned on hia arm. Never had he tasted
such wine. At first it exhllerated him
then It mounted to his head, and sud
denly it appeared to hltn that his host
was a glorious fellow, and that he was
under infinite obligations to him.
Doubling his fist, he brought it down
upon the table with a crash that made
the glasses ring.
"Better man than Cheatem don't
live!" cried lie.
"I agree with you," replied his neigh
bor, politely.
"Ah I I adore such enthusiastic
friendship, such lot like Damon and
Pythias in ze play," ejaculated the
French lady.
" How original 1 How delightfully
eccentric 1 A perfect military man,"
whispered others.
Meanwhile the bootmaker, staggering
to his feet, made his way, as best he
might, toward his host.
" Cheatem," he cried, " look here I I
came here he reeled and caught at a
table I came to give you this before
every (hie) body."
And he held out his folded bill, which
Mr. Cheatem lnetantly took..
" Now I I wouldn't (hlc) do it for
all"
Ch( a'.em beckoned two waiters.
" My dear old friend," he said, " you
are not quite well. Let these . men put
you in a carriage, aud go home. I'll
call on you tomorrow. So glad to have
seen you. As for this here pooh 1
pooh 1
The waiters led the bootmaker from
the room, after their host had whispered
a direction to be given the driver.
And Mr. Cheatem thus addressed his
friends :
" You must not think 111 of my old
friend for this little lapse of his. After
the trials of military life it is only to be
expected that his habits should not be
those of quiet civilians, and 'tis only
his weakness."
"One forgives everything in a soldier"
remarked a lady.
' A very ordinary failing for a milita
ry man," responded a gentleman.
"And to think the honest creature
should have remembered so slight an in
debtedness as this, and been so anxious
about it," sighed Mr. Cheatem, as he
put the shoemaker's receipted bill into
his pocket.
BATTLE WITH A WOMAN.
DR. ALEXANDER ANDERSON,
the father of wood engraving in
this country, died in Jersey City in 1870,
a few weeks before his ninety-fifth
birthday. He was born in New York,
two days after the skirmish of Lexing
ton, and had vivid recollections of some
of the closing incidents of the Revolu
tion in that city. From his lips the
writer heard many narratives of those
stirring ecenes. One of them was an
account of the last battle of the Revolu
tion, of which young Anderson, then a
boy between eight and nine years of age
was an eye witness.
Anderson's parents lived near the foot
of Murray street, not so far from the
Hudson river. There were very few
houses between them and Broadway.
Opposite Anderson's dwelling was a
boarding house kept by a man . named
Day. His wife was a comely, strongly
built woman, about forty years of age,
and possessed a brave heart. She was
an ardent Whig, and having courage
equal to her convictions, she never con
cealed her sentiments.
On the morning of the day (Novem
ber 25, 1783,) when the British troops
were to evacuate the city of New York,
and leave America independent, Mrs.
Day unfurled her couu try's flag over
her dwelling. The British claimed a
right to hold possession of the city until
noon on that day. Cunningham, the
notorious British Provost-Marshal, was
Informed of thla impudent display of
the " rebel banner" in the presence of
British troops, and sent a sergeant to or
der it to be taken down. Mrs. Day re
fused compliance.
At about nine o'clock In the morning,
while young Anderson was sitting on
the porch of his father's house, and
Mrs.Day was quietly sweeping in front
of her own, he saw a burly, red-faced
British officer, in full uniform, with a
powdered wig, walking rapidly down
the street. He halted before Mrs. Day,
and roughly inquired s
" Who hoisted that rebel flag ?"
"I raised that flag," coolly answered
if rs. Day, looking the angry officer full
in the fuce.
" Pull It down I" roared the Briton.
" I shall not do it," firmly answered
Mrs. Day.
" You don't know who I am," angrily
growled the officer.
" Yes I do," replied the courageous
woman.
Cunningham (for it was he) seized the
halyards, and attempted to pull down
the flag, when Mrs. Day flew at him
with her broom and beat him so severe
ly over the head that she knocked ofl
his hat, and made the powder fly from
hjs wig. " I saw It shine like a dim
nimbus around his red head in the
morning sun," said Anderson.
Cunningham was an Irishman, detest
ed by every body for his cruelty to
American prisoners in his charge. Mrs.
Day flad often seen him. He stormed
and swore, and tugged In vain at the
halyards, for they had become entang
led ; and Mrs. Day applied her broom
stick so vigorously that the blustering
Provost-Marshal was finally compelled
to beat a retreat, leaving the American
flag floating in triumph in the crisp
November air over the well defended
Day castle.
This was the last battle between the
British and Americans in the old war
for Independence.
The Law of Partnership.
THE following may be of interest to
many of our readers, as it is proba
bly not generally known what the law
concerning visitors to bar-rooms and
drinking saloons really is.
A case was decided at Philadelphia
lately by which one of 'a party of four
persons, who had spent the evening at a
public house, was compelled to pay the
whole, his companions having neglect
ed to "pooneyup" their proportions
of the expenses. The defendant held,
that as he had not drank the whole, nor
ate the whole that was ordered, but
only a fourth part thereof, he. was not
responsible for payment only in that
ratio.
The Judge was of a different opinion.
A company assembled at a publio house,
can be considered by the landlord only
as one person ; they have joined them
selves together, and he has no right to
put them asunder. He cannot say to
one as he enters, " you may drink," and
to another, "you shall not," nor ask any
one whether he has money to pay for
his reckoning. One may treat another,
for what he knows, or he may treat the
whole. It is a partnership for that
night, and what right has the landlord
to inquire who finds the capital 't They
are equally accountably to him for the
whole debt. . It is not enough that one
pays his part, he must take care that the
whole is paid ; . that is, his concern, not
the landlord's.
When the partnership dissolves,
whether it be at mid-day or mid-night,
every partner is responsible for the debts
contracted in the partnership. If one
man breaks a glass, it is nothing to the
landlord who broke it ; he can charge it
to the company, as well as the contents
as tbey must settle the matter with the
individual. One man with money
might bring a dozen without, who.belng
strangers, the landlord is deprived of
his property and his remedy. He can
take any of the company, and he whom
he takes may demand his share from
the rest.
The defendant declared that be had
never heard so much law and good sense
In his life ; and that the decision and
opinion put together, was worth the
money it cost him ; he would pay the
bill with costs, and remember it for his
future government.
A Knowing Dog.
Custer was the name of a Newfound
land dog that belonged lo a New Jersey
girl. " We trained him to hold the hal
ter in his mouth, and lead the horses
away," she said. " He could curry two
eggs in his huge mouth and never break
one. He could turn a knob as well as
any one, and on entering a room would
always turn around and put his paw on
the door to close it. If this fulled he
would jump upon the door, taking care
not to scratch it with hia nails. If any
one sat down in the house without dof
ling his hat, Custer would'steal stealthi
ly up behind htm and pull it off, then
dropping It on the floor at the side of
his chair would walk quietly away and
He down, as one' who had performed a
duty. We would wrap a few pennies in
a paper and send him with it in bis
mouth to a store for candy, of which he .
was very fond. After delivering it to
us he would stand expectantly by, wag
ging his tall and waiting for the sweet
morsel he know he was sure to get.
(tOne of those rough-clad, big-hearted
miners who came into Santa Fee
occasionally to lay in supply of grub;
stepped Into the post-office of that town
recently and seeing in the window three
letters held for postage, picked one up,
and, looking at the address, said In &.
tone of great astonishment : " Why,,
this letter is for a lady in Denver I"
" Yes," said the clerk. "And you are.
holding It here 1" In a tone of greater
astonishment. "Why, of course," an
swered the clerk, "don't you see if
hasn't any postage paid ?" In a tone 6T
utter contempt for the man who would
not forward abetter to a woman, paid or
unpaid, the miner said . "Give me some
stamps." It was done ; he carefully put
stamps on all letters in the window,
putting two on that of the feminine
gender to make sure that it would go all
right, and stalked out of the office with
the concluding remark hurled at the
head of the astonished Pino Pinito:
"Strikes me there's some mean peo
ple In this town 1"
SUNDAY READING
DEATH AND SLEEP. .
In the pleasant companionship the
brother angels of Death and Sleep wan
dered over the earth. As the mist of
evening gathered, they lay down upon a
hill overlooking the Abodes of men,
while a pensive quietude reigned over
all, and the sounds of life were hushed
in the far-ofT hamlets.
Still and silent, as is their wont, rest
ed the two benevolent genii of mankind
in familiar embrace, and as night drew
her sheltering mantle over the children
of men, the angel of Sleep rose from his
leafy bed, and, with a light hand, scat
tered the invisible seeds of slumber, and
the breath of evening wafted them to
the weary tillers of the earth. ,
Now sweet Sleep softly held the dwel
lers in the rural cottages, from totter
ing age with its hoary head, to rosy In
fancy resting in its cradle. Sickness,
forgets It pains, grief its tears, and pov
erty its cares. All eyes were now clos
ed. His work finished, the beneficent an
gel of Sleep returned to rest besides his
sterner brother. When the morning
dawned he cried out with innocent joy :
"Now shall men praise me as their
friend and benefactor oh, what joy 1
How happy are we, the invisible dis
pensers of good gifts! How beautiful .
our silent calling!
So' spoke the kindly spirit of Slumber.
The Death angel gazed at him with si
lent sorrow, and such tears as immor
tals weep glittered in his' large dark
eye.
" Alas " he sadly answered.would that
I, like thee, could be happy in scatter
ing abroad acceptable gifts ; the children
of earth regard me only as their enemy
and the destroyer of their Joys."
" My brother," replied the angel of
slumber, " will not the redeemed at the
great awakening recognize thee as their
friend and benefactor, and gratefully
bless thee? Are we not brothers,' and
the children of one father?"
As he spoke, a sudden joy shone in
the eye of the Death angel, and, tender
ly embracing, the two brothers floated,
softly away.
(3" If men might only be viewed ia
the light that falls upon them from the
eternal brightness what a transfigura
tion it would work ! There are estrange
ments and alienations that arise from,
ignorance of one another, that divides
families into almost as many distinct
and separated lives as there are different
apartments in the house they occupy.
Why is this V Simply because they are
a band of strangers, though they may
bear the same name. Motives are not
understood ; differences in taste and
temperament and fibre are not appreci
ated ; and the fact that all are in a
transition state is lost sight of.
Standard Pearls.
The author of our being is also the au
thor of our bliss.
If sin has harbored in the boue the
curse waits at the door.
As we live on God's bounty we should
live to hi9 glory.
What God requires of us he works
within us or it is not done.
' He that swells in prosperity will te
sure to shrink to adversity.
We should be concerned for our sins
rather than our sufferings.
None were made to b ldb ; he who
gave us being also gave ua lusiuss.
