RIDING TOGETHER.
BY WILLIAM MORRIS.
[The following strange and beautiful line* oon
dh some exquisite toushes of pathos, and there
re those who will painfully understand the moan
>K : J
For many, many days together,
The wind blew steady from the East;
VFor many dayg hot grew the weather,
fc ~«jout the time of our Lady's Feast,
the /
many cfctys we rode together,
. Yet metAitlrneither friend nor foe ;
clearer grew the weather,
Steadily did the East wind blow.
We saw the trees in the hot, bright weather,
Clear cut, with shadows very black,
As freely we rode on together,
With helms unlaced and bridles slack.
And-often as we rode together,
We, looking down the green bank’d stream,
Saw flowers in the sunny weather,
And saw the bubble-making bream.
And in the night lay down together,
And huug above our heads the rood,
Or watch’d night-long in the dewy weather,
The while the moou did watch the wood.
Our spears stood bright and thick together,
Straight out the banners stream’d behind,
As we galloped on in the sunny weather
With faces turned toward* the wind.
Down sank our three-score spears together,
As thick we saw the pagans ride; *
His eager face to the clear, fresh weather
Shone out that last time by my side.
Up the sweep of the bridge we dash’d together —
It rocked to the crash of the meeting spears;
Down rain’d the buds of the dear spring weather
The elm tree flowers fell like tears.
There, as we rolled and writhed together,
I threw my arms aDOve my head,
For close by my side in the lovely weather,
I saw him reel and fall back dead.
I and the slayer met together,
He waited the death-stroke there in his place,
With thoughts of death in the lovely weather,
Gapingly mazed at my maddened face.
Madly I fought, as we fought together;
In Vain.; the little Christian band
The pagans drown’d, as in stormy weather
The river drowns lew-lying land.
They bound my blood- stained hands together;
They bound his corpse to nod by my side;
Then on we rode in the bright March weather,
With clash of cymbals did we ride.
We nde no more, no more together—
My prison bars are thick and strong ;
I take no heed of any weather;
The sweet saints grant 1 live not long.
MERCANTILE AGENCIES.
Where they Get their Delicate Information.
[From the New York Post. |
Each country merchant or shop-keeper
who, with a capital of live thousand dol
lars and au unlimited quantity of energy,
does a bdaftrastf of ah un-dr ed thousand a
year, finds it necessary to buy more goods
thau he can pay for immediately in cash,
and comes to New York offering to Stew
art, Clafliu, or to anybody who will trust
him, his notes or three, six or eighteen
months for the silks an J calicoes, he needs.
It is, therefore, indispensable that his
characterforindustryaud integrity, should
be unimpeachable; and to the office of
record goes the city merchant for informa
tion concerning the country gentleman
who asks credit. Here he is told that
Peter Smith, of Yuba Dam, New Hamp
shire, is thirty-five years of age, married,
and has two children ; has been engaged
in the trade seven years, and is believed
to be honest; has a working capital of $5,-
000, owns a homestead worth $1,200, and
has “great expectations” that his wife’s
uncle Billy, who is old and paralytic, will
soon visit bis ancestors, leaving to Peter’s
wife the nice little sum ofslo,ooo in United
States bonds. Smith’s credit is, there
fore, pronounced to be “good,” and Mr.
Merchant lets him have a thousand dol
lars worth of calico, tape and spool-cotton,
to be paid for at the end of six or nine
months. Or, it may be that Mr. Smith is
not known to have any moiaey, except that
which his wife holds in her own name;
that he is extravagant aud immoral, and
so, of course, may not be recommended as
a buyer on time. Smith is therefore po
litely bowed out ©f the warehouse, to seek
credit where the secrets of the “record”
are not known.
But in what way is information con
cerning traders in distant places obtained,
and how do we know that the Office of
Record or Mercantile Agency contains a
true aud trustworthy register of the char
acters and property of our country cous
ins? There are two ways of compiling
the register—a thorough one, such as that
adopted by Broadway & Cos. and Done
Brown; aud another, much used by the
inferior offices of Ketcbum & Cheatham
and Killhim & Sprat. In each village or
h&mlet, however small, there are, of
eourse, a blacksmith, a liquor-dealer, and
au attorney, and these are the men who
furnish the material for compiling the
records of second or third-class offices.—
The attorney is appointed correspondent,
receiving as wages Harper’s Magazine or
the Hedger, with the promise of any legal
business which may arise, and gives his
opinion, with a medley of the gossip ob
tained at the Btnithery aud tavern. This
statement of facts is sent to New York,
and on it depends the reputation of the
shop-keeper and the amount of credit that
he may command. But the better class of
agencies are conducted by their proprietors
•with liberality, and aim at comfortable
ness, intelligent clerks being employed
and paid handsomely.
Instead of depending on the letters of
“shysters,” the superintendents send edu
cated men of skill to every village, aud to
each of even the most retired cross-roads ;
and application is generally at first made
to store-keepers personally, who seldom
refuse to give accounts of themselves,
which are afterward veryifledor modified
by bank presidents, county clerks, men of
known wealth, etc. By this means a re
cord Is made up us accurately as it is hu
manly possible to make anything.
To conduct a first class agency properly,
a large number of clerks are necessary;
reporters, canvassers, recorders, copyists,
readers, etc., being numbered by scores
aud hundreds, whose salaries range from
twelve to sixty dollars a week, according
to proficiency ; while the picayune imita
tors ordinarily pay five to eight dollars to
their penmen, or a little more to those who
write from 8 A. m. till 11 p. m., aud do not
too often fall asleep over their work. Sub
scribers to these agencies pay from seven
ty-five to three hundred dollars a year,
according to the number of “inquiries”
each may make. Prominent merchants,
as C'lafliu or Btewart, may have private
“agencies” of their own, where lists of
their customers, with biographical sketch
es, are kept, with black-hooks containing
the names of bogus firms, of those who
are likely to go up in a balloon, and of
young men of promise who never pay.
CURIOUS MANUFACTURES.
[From the Philadelphia United States Gazette.]
Pliny was certainly a trump. The more
we read him tht more vehemently we as
sent to the assertion of Solomon, that there
is “nothing new under the sun.” We re
viewed, the other day, a work by this
grand old gentleman upon the cultivation
of asparagus, aud the horticultural mag
nates of to-day will confess, thatsix stalks
of that esculent weighing sixteen ounces
iu the aggregate, are entitled to serious
consideiatiou at every fair on the part of
the committee on premiums.
Some people differ from our frieud Pliny
as to the original of felt cloth. They
claim that another grand old gentleman,
St. Clement, placed a bunch of carded
wool inside Ills sandals to protect his feet
from friction, when starting upon a long
and weary pilgrimage. The Westons and
other nedestriaus of to-day do that lor
money which the saints of old did purely
as acts of piety.
Alter St. Clement completed, bis journey
the mass of loose wool, placed by him up
on the solos of his sandals, came out of
them matted into a cloth. This was the
first “felt” ever- produced, providing the
Clementine theory stands like a washtub,
upon the merits of its own bottom. The
stet is that wool possesses an adaptability
for working that can be imparted to no
vegetable production. Under a microscope
everv filament of wool or fur shows barbs
along the length* and each of them
has a larger and a small end. They literal
ly fit into each other, and a felt cloth that
can thus he made.from animal fur or hair
that, from the vegetable kingdom, can
never be produced. The microscope tells
the whole story, and a microscope is some
thing that the head of every family, if he
has not already purchased one, should
immediately secure.
By the poiiteuesa of a pair of scientific,
aud yet practical business gentlemen, we
were yesterday shown these remarkable
serrations upon a siugle hair. The finest
wool shows under a powerful glass the ap
pearance of a continuous vegetable growth
wi.h numerous sprouts, all pointing to
ward the smaller end. As many as twenty
four.huudred of them have been counted
under thill glass, in a single inch of Merino
wool.
Felt cloth is made by pressing together
this wool or fur until ifcbecomes a compact
mass. Patent after patent for its produc
tion has been taken out. The “New
York Seamless Clothing Company ” was
one of the first and most successful to
avail themselves of the advantages of a
material of which garments could be made
iu one entire piece. Felt has peculiar
properties. Under ordinary circumstan
ces it is for a long time water-proof; if
does not wrinkle ; while to the eye it pre
sents the appearance of the very finest
Melton. Having neither warp nor woof,
its surface is entirely even. From it are
made every article of wearing apparel,
leggings, piaho and table covers, cloaks,
hats, slippers, mittens and other things,
all of remarkable strength and durability.
Bo rapid is the process of manufacture,
that in tweuty-four hours after a sheep is
sheared, his wool may be converted into
a garment ready for wear. If this is not
enough to make a sheep feel proud and
fall back upon his dignity and his fleece,
the question now comes in, what is? In
Lawrence, Massachusetts, they make felt
carpets that excite envy in the bosom of
Brussels, while as to its value as a jacket
for a defective boiler, the old city ice boat
will answer all questions propounded to it.
What Philadelphia has reason to be
proud of is this : that a wide-awake firm
of manufacturers at Germantown have
purchased aud reuovated an abandoned
factory, are giving employment to two
hundred and thirty people, mostly fe
tfrulvio) (iw!l nro mat.iiiij. fmm fait cloth the
grand duchess skirt, table and piano cov J
cloaks and various other articles of
apparel, by a process of which the patent
bjelongs to Philadelphia, and which is to
a large extent revolutionizing the art of
embossing upon . this particular fabric.
The felt cloth is made in New England,
Its production is oue of the few things
iu which Yankee land has distanced us.
But we sell back to them the skirts and
other articles thus wonderfully beautified
by the work of our operatives in German
town. The art consists in embossing
upon the plain feltgarment most beautiful
patterns in raised work, but so filled in
with the materials as to be part and parcel
of it. Heat and tremendous pressure are
the only agents employed.
The art gives to the petticoat a wonder
ful degree of beauty. Our grandmothers
would have stared at the iunovation, but
though there may be nothing new under
the sun, there is a great deal that is very
strauge. Our Quaker friends are alike
down upon embroidery and semiquavers.
They look upon indulgence in either as a
waste of time. Philadelphia can now sup
ply the world with innumerable articles
of felt, all radiant as a flower garden into
which needle never entered, and upou
which paint or pencil never was applied.
The invention is but of a few months’
standing. It struck our reporter as com
ing under the head of curious manufac
turer, and so it does. It gives light and
elegant employment to at least two hun
dred young women of Germautowu. The
factory operations are conducted with all
the dignity and decorum of a young ladies’
seminary. Like some new discovery in
beliography or photographing, the art is
at present meeting with great favor. At
the leading cities of the Union some people
now hear of Germantown, Philadelphia,
who for the first time understand that it
is not in Germany. There are a great
many things about Philadelphia that Bos
ton and New York only learn when they
can’t help it. One of these things is that
Philadelphia has taught the world how to
produce in any desired colors, upon a
ground of gray, au artistic baao relievo
representing any design that may be de
sired.
TRUTH KTRANHBR THAN FICTION.
The wonders of the magnetic telegraph
were evidently foreshadowed naany cen
turies ago in the following singular fable:
Strader gives an account of a chimerical
correspondence between two friends, by
the help of a certain loadstone, which had
such virtues in it that if it touched two
several needles, when one of the needles so
touched begau to move, the other, though
at ever so great a distance, moved at the
same time, and iu the same manner. He
tells us that the two friends, being each of
them possessed of one of these needles,
made a kind of dial plate, inscribing it
with the four and twenty letters, in the
same manner as the hours of the day are
marked upon the ordinary dial plate.
They then fixed one of the needles on each
of these plates in such a manner that it
could move round without impediment, so
as to touch anv of the four and twenty let
ters. Upon their separating from one an
other into distant countries, they agreed
to withdraw themselves punctually into
their closets at a certain hour of the day,
and to con verse with one another by means
of this, their invention. Accordingly,
when they were some hundred miles asun
der, each of 'hem shut himseli up in his
eloset at the time appointed, and immedi
ately cast his eye upon his dial plate If
he had a mind to write anything to his
friend, he directed his needle to every let
ter that formed the words which he had
occasion for, making a little pause at the
end of every word or sentence, to avoid
confusion. The friend, In the meanwhile,
saw his own sympathetic needle moving
of itself to every letter which that of his
correspoud nt poluted at. By this means
they talked together across a whole conti
nent, and conveyed their thoughts to one
another in an instant over cities or moun
tains, seas or deserts.— World.
