A MIRR0K,
In Which Many Persons May See Them
selves Reflected.
“Albert, I wish you- would let me
have seventy-five cents.”
Kate Landman spoke very careful
ly, tor she knew that her husband had
not much money to spare ; yet she
spoke earnestly, and there was a world
of entreaty in her look.
“What do you want seventy-five
cents for ?” asked Albert.
“1 want to get some braid for mv
new dress.”
“I thought you had all the material
on hand for that.”
“So I thought I had ; but Mrs. Smith
and Mrs. Thompson both have a trim-
i ming of braid upon l heirs, and it looks
; very pretty. It is very fashionable,
iand certainly adds much to the beauty
| of a dress.”
Plague take these woman’s fashions!
Your endless trimmings and thing-a-
ma-jigs cost more than the dress is
! worth. It’s nothing but shell out tnon -
jey when once a woman thinks of a
! new dress.”
“I don’t have many new dresses. I
trv to be as economical as ! cents a game
much for such
j men’s fashions were a nuisance aud a
j humbug, as well as a frightful draft
upon a husband’s pockets.
! After tea, Albert did a few chores
'around the house, and then he lighted
a cigar and walked out. He had gone
; but a shortdistance when he met Lizzie.
| In her right hand she dragged ari old
j hoop, which she had taken from a di
lapidated flour barrel, while with her
left, she was rubbing her red swollen
eyes. She was in deep grief, and was
sobbing painfully. He stopped his
child and asked what was the. mat
ter.
She answered as well ns her sobs
would let her, that the other girls had
laughed at her and made fun of her
old hoop. They had nice pretty, hoops
while tier’s was ugly and homely.
“Never mind,” said Albert patting
the little one on the head (for the child’s
grief touched him); perhaps we’ll have
a new hoop sometime.”
“Mayn’t l have one now r Mr.
Grant’s got one left—oh such a pretty
orfc !”
The sobbing had ceased,as tlie child
caught her father’s hand eagerlj*.
“Not now Lizzie—not now. i’ll
think of it.”
Sobbing again, the child moved on
towards home, dingging the old hoop
after her.
At one of the stores, Albert Land-
man met some his friends.
“Hello, Albert! What’s up ?”
“Nothing in particular.”
“What do you say to a game of bil
liards, Albert.”
“Good ! I’m in for that.”
A?id away went Albert to the bil
liard hall, where he had a glorious
time with his friends. He liked bil
liards ; it was a healthy pretty game,
would have said so, feeling that they
were telling the truth. Am] I not
right ?
“Upon my soul,” responded the man
who understood billiards, “you speak
to the point. I know that young man
who has paid his bill, and you have not
misjudged him in a single particular.
And what is more, 1 happen to have
tact at hand to illustrate your charge.
We have a club for an excellent lit
erary paper in our village, ami last
year that man was one of our subscrib
ers. This year he felt obliged to dis
continue it. His wife was very anx
ious to take it, for it had become a
genial companion in leisure moments,
but he could not afford it. The club rate
was one dollar fifty cents a year.
“Aye, and so it goes,” said ‘flic oth
er gentleman. “Well that man’s wife
may be wishing at this very momenL
that she had her paper to read, while
he is paying almost its full price for :i
year—for what f And yet look how
smilingly he does it. Ah ! those poor,
sympathizing wives ! How many
clouds often darken upon them from the
brows of their husbands when they ask
for trifling sums of money, and how
grudgingly the mile is handed over
when it is given ! What perfect floods
of joy that dollar and forty cents might
have poured upon the children of that
unsuccessful billiard player. Ah ! it
is well for such wives and children
that they do not know where all the
money goes.”
They had finished at the nearest ta
ble. The two gentlemen moved on.
and Albert Landman arose from his
seat and left the house. Never before
had he such thoughts as now possess-
ei him ; he had never dwelt upon the
| same grouping of ideas. That very
| morning his own true, faithful, loving
I wile had been sad and heart-sick be-
j cause he had harshly and unkindly
| met her request for a small sum of
money. And his sweet Lizzie had

They had played four games. Al- : such as her mates possessed. And yet

“All right, go in,” said Albert full of
animation. *
i So they played tire fifth game, and
i he who lost was to pay for the five
[games. It was an exciting contest.—
j Both made capital runs, but in the end
Albert was beaten by three points;—
and wilh a little laugh he went up io happy kiss, the

way home he stopped at Mr. Grant’s
and purchased the best and pretiiest
hoop to be found, with driving stick

He could play two games of billiards
less arid be the absolute gainer ot ten
cents by the pleasant operation.
A few mornings after this, as Albert
rose from the breakfast table, he de
tected an uneasy, wistful look upon his
wife’s face.
“Kate, what is it ?”
“Albert could you spare me a half
dollar this morning?”
And out came the wallet, and the
money was handed over with a warm
genial smile.

evil,” remarked the second gentleman.
Such things are only evil so Iji as they
excite and stimulate men beyond the
bounds of healthy recreation.”

such a game said the first speaker.
But the other shook his head.
“You are wrong here. The result
can follow in two ways : First, it can
lead men away from their busines ; it
can lead men to spend money, who
have not money to spend. You will
understand me. I would not cry down
the game of billiards, for if I under
stood it, I should certainly try you a
game ; but whenever I visit a place of
this kiid, lam led to reflect upon a
most strange and prominent weaknes
of humanity, as developed in our sex.
For instance, observe that young man
who is just settling his bill at the desk.
He looks like a mechanic, and I
should say from his manner, and from
the fact that lie felt it his duty to go
home al this hour, that lie has a wile
and children. I see by bis face that
he is kind hearted and generous, arid I
should judge that he intends to do as
near right as he can. He has been
beaten, and he pays one dollar and for
ty cents for the recreation of some two
hours duration. If you observe you
will see that lie pays it freely, and
pockets the loss with a smile. Happy
faculty ! But how do you suppose it
is in the young man’s home ? Suppose
his wife had come to him this morning
and asked him for a dollar to spend lor
some trifling thing ; some household
ornaments, or some bit of jewelry to
adorn her person—and suppose his lit

what do you think he would have an

that they had not money to spare for
any such purpose ? And morever, they

“I was not crying at what you said,
Albert,” replied Kate iremulously ;—
“but you were so reluctant to grant
me the favor. T was thinking how hard
l had to work ; I am tied to the house ;
how many little things I have to per
plex me—then to think—”
“Pshaw ! what do you want to be
foolish for ?”
And away started Albert Landman
a second time, but he was not to es
cape so easily. In the hall he was met
by his daughter Lizzie, a bright-eved,
rosy-cheeked girl of ten years.
“O, papa, give me fifteen cents?”
“What !”
“ O, I want fifteen cents. Do please
give it to me.”
“W hat in the world do you want
with it? Are they changing school
books again r”
“No ; 1 want to buy a hoop. Ellen
Smith has got one, and so has Mary
Ruck and Sarah Ellen. Mr. Grant has
got some real pretty ones to sell. Can’t
I have one ?”
“Nonsense ! If you want a hoop go
and get one off’ some old barrel. I
can’t afford to be buying hoops lor you
lo trundle about the streets.”
“Please, papa.”
“No, I told you.”
The bright blue eyes filled wilh
tears, and the child’s sobbing broke
upon his ear. Albert Landman hur
ried from the house with some very
impatient words upon his lips.
This was in the morning. At noon
when he came home to his dinner,there
was a cloud over the household- His
wife was sober, and even little Lizzie,
usually gay and bhthsome, was sad
and silent.
But these things could not last long
in that household, tor the husband and
wife teally loved each other devotedly,
and were at heart, kind and forbearing.
When Albert came to supper, Kate
greeted him with a kiss, and in a mo
ment sunshine came back ; and had
the lesson emled there, the husband
might have fancied that he had done
What ! tears at that ? Was it pos-
making the explanation ;j sible that she had been so little used to
one which lifts no. such scenes on his part, that so simple
an act of loving kindness thus affected
her.
How many games of billiards would
be required to secure such satisfaction
as Albert Landman carried wilh him
that morning lo the shop.
A very simple lesson, is it ? But
how many may gain lasting profit by
giving heed to the lesson.
Conclusion ofGen. Wade Hamilton’s Speech—
Welcome to his Soldiers.
In concluding his admirable, ad
dress before the Georgia State Fair on
Wednesday, (the address will be pub
lished in pamphlet form by the Socie
ty,) Gen. Wade Hampton spoke as fol
lows :
Mr. President and gentlemen of the
Committee the agreeable task assign
ed to me by your kindness is done,and
perhaps l should here pause ; but may
l crave your indulgence and that of the
andience tor a very few words more ?
Standing here as I have done for the
last hour, and looking over this vast
throng, I have seen many faces which
have met me in other scenes than this,
anJ my ear if I mistake not, has caught
lhe tones of voices heard often before
amid the fire, and rising high above ihe
din of battle.
These sights and these sounds have
stirred my heart lo its depths, and l
would not, I cannot, go hence without
extending to my dear old comrades in
arms one word of cordial and hearilelt
greeting. Men of my old command,
brave soldiers, true friends, you know
that I have not forgotten you ; looking
into your own hearts you feel that I
c&n never do this. The ties that bind
me to you are graven on my heart wilh
a pen of fire. Looking on you again
after years of absence, memory carries
me back to those years of heroic strife
when it was my pride to lead you. I
recall with the profoundesl emotions,
your deep suffering, your constant pri
vations, your dauntless courage, your
devoted service, your cheerless biv
ouacs atnid the snow of Virginia, your
trusty picket posts on the Potomac
and the Rappahannock, your solitary
watch fires which have blazed on near
ly every hill and valley in Virginia,
your heavy marches, your battle field*
