THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES
ISS4.
The Times will enter upon the new year stronger
and more prosperous than ever before iu its history
—more widely read and quoted, more heirtily com
mended, a: more fiercely criticized, with a more ;
complete organization, and an abler staff of con- I
tribntors-and with th" same independence and
fearlessness th it lias made it successful and power- I
fui in the past.
The Times has no party to follow, no candidates i
to advance, but w i I meet every issue, as it has eve- I
done, with c< nsi-tent devotion to the right, to
honest government, and the public welfare? And, I
while maintaining its position as the leading journal
of Philadelphia, it w ill aim to be continually in
advance in a 1 t t can add value to a newspaper.
The value of n nwspaper is not in its size or dis
play, but in the inte l ger.ee ’-nd care, the concise
ness and freslinc -s w.rh which it is edited. The
Times spends lavishlv for news from all parts of
the world, but all its dispatches are carefully edited
and condensed, in order to give th ■ complete news
of the day in th" mo-t concise and attractive shape,
and with it a forge variety of entertaining and in
structive reading. The best writers at home and I
abroad are employ, d to enri h its columns, and to
make St a journal adapted both to the busy man and |
to the leisure of the home c : rc’e, a welcome visitor
to intelligent and honest ci izensof every political, ;
religious and social taste.
The Weekly Times is altogether different from I
the weekly newspapers of twen'y vears ago. The 1
dsy of those pipers is gone by. The telegraph and
bettcrlocal newspapers everywhere, e pecially in
the thriving centers of rural population, have made
the old weekly metropolitan newspaper unsatisfy
ing.
Those that cling to ther ancient usages have lost
their bold on our for t ar’-moving people; thev are
but shadows of their former greatness, and they ■
have but a shadow of tiieir former power. Those 1
papershave Ind th- ir ueefu'ness, but it is gone; I
and, with it, they .-.re g Ing, too It was not tbe i
fault of the papers; itjvas the improvement of the I i
country that b.ought nlo it the change. Men and '
women.wherever th.-y Jive, now require fresher
news: and they require mme than news.
The Weekly Times gathers off the types of J
every passing week whatever has lasting interest to I
people at arge. and sets it before them in such gen- ,
crosity of paper nnd print as would have astonished '
ns all twi nty years ago. .

THE SBA.
I lay npoa th* headland height, and listened
To the incessant sobbing of the sea
In caverns under me,
And watched the waves, that tossed and fled
and glistened,
Until the rolling meadows of amethyst
Melted away in mist.
Then suddenly, as one from sleep, I started;
For round about me all the sunny capes
Seemed peopled with the shapes
Of those whom I had known in days departed,
Appareled ip the loveliness which gleams
On faces seen in dreams.
A moment only, and the light and glory
Faded away, and the disconsolate shore
Stood lonely as before;
And the wild roses of the promontory
Around me shuddered in the wind, and shed
Their petals of pale red.
“Oh, give me back!” I cried, “the vanished
splendors,
The breath of morn and the exultant strife,
When the swift stream of life
Bounds o'er its rocky channel, and surren
ders
The pond, with all Its lillies, for the leap
Into the unknown deep.”
And the sea answered, with a lamentation.
Like some old prophet wailing, and it said;
“Alas’ thy youth is deal!
It breathes no more—its heart has no pulsa
tion;
In the dark places, with the dead of old,
It lies forever cold!”
Then said I: “From its consecrated cere
ments
I will not drag this sacred dust again,
Only to give me pain;
But, still remembering all the lost endear
ments
Goon my way, like one who looks before
And turns to weep no more.”
Into what land of harvests, what plantations
Bright with autumn foliage and the glow
Of sunsets burning low;
Beneath what midnight skies, whose constel
lations
Light up the spacious avenues between
This world and the unseen.
Amid what friendly greetings and caresses—
What households, though not alien, yet not
mine—
" What bowers of rest divine;
To what temptations in lone wildernesses,
What famine of the heart, what pain and
loss
The bearing of what cross! —
I do not know, nor will I vainly question
Those pages of the mystic book which hold
The story still untold.
But without rash conjecture or suggestion
Turn its last leaves in reverence and good
heed,
Until “The End” I read.
THE GOLDEN MAXIM.
Mr. John Richardson was one of the
most respected of London citizens. He
had arrived young in the metropolis,
very foot sore, and with five-ana-ninc
pcnce in his pocket. In the course of
thirty years he had increased the fivc
and-ninepcncc to fifty thousand pounds.
This was generally considered clever, but
in truth the man had no cleverness in his
composition. The lack was more than
supplied by the possession of that val
uable quality called prudence. He was
slow, to be sure; dull, but industrious;
short-seeing, but sharp-eyed within his
ken. He passed through his life acquir
ing few ideas, but many guineas. He
began ignorant, and he ended ignorant;
he began poor, and he ended rich.
Mr. John Richardson, at the age ol
sixty, found himself retired from busi
ness, a widower, with one son. Alfred,
the son. was a spirited young mau. He
despised trade and tradesmen, and par- i
ticularly despised the tradesman, his
father. He owned to a very dim notion ■
of the east-end of London, but paraded
his intimate knowledge of the west. His
associates were entirely aristocratic. Lord
Cheroot, Sir Edward Allnight, and the ‘
Honorable Tom Daredevil were his sworn I
friends. It was rather an expensive
friendship, certainly, for among them they
borrowed of him to the extent of a hun
dred pounds a month or so, not one far
thing of which they made even a show
of returning.
But he had his money's worth of praise.
They assured him that his spirit, his wit,
his sagacity, were quite extraordinary,
and, for the citizen, almost miraculous.
To be sure there was a manner—an air—
a something—only to be acquired by
companionship with persons of birth;
but he had improved greatly in this re
spect, they said, and would, in time, be
perfect. All this was averred to his
face, and, if behind his back their re
marks were different, why, they afforded
them amusement and gave him no pain.
One evening, Mr. John Richardson, '
that respectable, elderly, well-to-do indi
vidual, was suddenly taken ill. He went
to bed—and never rose again. Just be
fore his death he called for his son, Al
fred, and, taking his hand affectionately,
delivered himself thus, in a broken
voice:
“Son Alfred, I am about to die, and
before I do so, I want to say a few
words, as I have always made it a rule
to do everything in a business-like man
ner. I shall leave you more than fif;y
thousand pounds, all got honestly and
by hard work. There is something else
I shall leave you, almost as valuable.
Attached by a green ribbon to the parch
ment on which is written my will, you
will find a sealed paper, containing the
wisest sentence ever put together. By
acting in the spirit of that maxim I made
all my money, and by acting in it you
may use well the money I made. I am
not much of a philosopher, son Alfred, .
but I say that all a man need know is j
contained in that maxim. Do not take
it only in its vulgar sense—it applies to i
every situation in life, and if people only I
understood it better, they wouldn’t be
such fools. As you despise or venerate
my maxim, so will you fail or prosper.”
Soon after pronouncing these words
the old gentleman expired. At the
proper time the will was produced and
read. Attached to it, sure enough, by a
green silk ribbon, was a small sealed
paper, on the back of which was written,
in German text, “The Golden Maxim.”
The anxiety was intense as the man in
authority broke the seal, and opened the
mysterious paper. With a loud, clear
voice, he gave forth the contents, which
were as follows:
“You MUST PAY THE BEST PRICE IF ;
YOU W’ANT THE BEST ARTICLE!”
At this strange end to their expecta
tions, the auditors were variously affected.
Some laughed—some whistled—some
were angry; but not one, certainly, felt
the least respect either for the maxim or
the maxim-giver. Alfred, for whose
especial benefit the seal had been broken,
did not affect to conceal his contempt.
As soon as the company had departed,
and he was alone, he soliloquized thus:
“Well, this is pleasant, curse me! The
old fellow must not only bore me with
his musty maxim, but render me ridicu
lous before my friends! As for the fifty
thousand pounds, I’m so far obliged to
him, but I want none of his narrow
minded posthumous advice how to use it
and conduct myself in the world. These
slow-goers are always so ready with their
counsel—and a deal more ready than wel
come ! I can take care of myself, or I’m
mistaken.”
The first thing he did, to show that he
could take care of himself, was to sell
the old house and the old furniture, and
take a residence in a more fashionable
situation, which he immediately set about
furnishing. But here one of his peculi
aritiss came into operation. In spite of
being foolishly extravagant, he had <
great notion of bargaining; so he went
to a cheap establishment and purchased
his furniture, and proudly did he Chuckle
when he saw the shining mahOgsfiV. the
brilliant carpets-, the resplendent gilding,
and thought how little money no had
K'veU in return for these comforts and
XUrifes. It Was not long, however, be
fore the shining mahogany went to pieces,
the brilliant carpets faded and wore, out,
and the resplendent gilding peeled off.
“Humph!”, exclaimed Alfred, musing;
“dad was right, certainly, here. As far
as mere buying and selling went he knew
something, though he was an ignoramus
on other points. Yes, I suppose, in
trade, the cheapest things are the dearest
—you must pay the best price if you
want the best article.”
He now gave himself up entirely to
the society of his somewhat loose, but
well-born, associates. Notoriety Was the
object of his existence. He wished to
rank among the eccentric roues of the
day, and become celebrated for breaking
lamps, beating policemen, driving over
old women, purloining knockers, and in
sulting street passengers; but either he
had less spirit or more sense than the
rest —for in drunkenness, folly,
and vice, they were greatly beyond him.
While their names were known far and
wide, and their deeds were fondly imi
tated, he was known only as a third-rate
genius, and more an imitator himself
than an original worthy of imitation. He
retired from the field considerably worse
in pocket and constitution “Alasf*
said he, “ there was more in that fantas
tic maxim than I suspected. It does not
apply to trade only. I was willing to
purchase notoriety, and find, unhappily,
that the first qualily of that commodity
costs more than I can afford. It was
foolish to wish to obtain it; but more
foolish to expect to obtain it cheaply.
Yes; you must pay the best price if yeu
want the best article.”
He had now bidden farewell to his m
worthy companions, and resolved to pur
sue a better path. Love entirely occu
i pied his thoughts. He selected a beauti
ful, accomplished and amiable girl, and
thought if he could induce her to become
his wife, happiness would be his portion
for ever. But she was not easily won.
There were points in his conduct which
she wished to sec altered before she
could nrefer him to all others. These
' concessions he was not exactly inclined
to make; and there was Mary Tompkins,
a very pretty girl, who was quite ready
to have him just as he was. He married
Mary Tompkins. Six months after mar
riage she ran off with Ensign Jenkins.
“Ah!” sighed Alfred, “what an error
did I commit! I lost a charming creature
from idleness and pride. In proportion
to the pain of acquisition, so would have
been the pleasure of possession. You
must pay the best price if you want the
best article.”
He had arrived at the time of life when
love generally yields to ambition. Al
fred determined to become great—and
great as a philosopher. He would ex
amine into the nature of man and. the
constiitution of society, and endeavor tb
I leave the world wiser and better than he
! found it. He read—he meditated—he
wrote—he published. But the course of
his reading and meditation was very
prudently and daintily in accordance
i with popular notions; whence it hap
: poned that the books he wrote and pub
lished were trite and common-place. He
gained no reputation as a philosopher,
■ but he lost none as a man. Truth was
not in his compositions,and consequently
defamation and abuse were not in the
criticisms on them.
i “I see, clearly,” said he, “that philo
sophic fame and the world’s love are in
compatible with each other. Every man
who greatly benefits his fellow-creatures
is hated and despised, while living by the
majority of those he serves. The im
morality of an innovator is purchased
dearly indeed. must nay the best
price if yc ... uie oest article.” His
hair was by this time beginning to grbw
gray, and the “old gentlemanly vice’*
stirred him exceedingly. “I will make
money.” exclaimed he. “True, I have
already some thousands; but a wise man
should consider these merely as seed to
produce a plentiful crop. I am not young
enough to enter trade regularly, but I
will speculate. That is the way to make
a fortune in a few years.” •“
Accordingly he bought shares in joint
stock companies, and became a trafficker
in stock of all sorts. “Bull,” “bear,”
“scrip,” “premium,” were familiar
words. He thought, he dreamed ol
nought but speculation—of shares going
down or getting up in the market—or
paid up and unpaid up capital.
But commercial matters, even the most
promising, are uncertain. Alfred's Joint
Stock companies went successively to the
dogs, and all his stock evinced the great
est alacrity in sinking. A few knowing
ones became astonishingly rich, but Mr.
Alfred Richardson was not a knowing
one, and lost nearly all he had in the
world. Some one must suffer that others
may enjoy! Such is the rule of our
charming competitive civilization.
Mr. Richardson retired to a garret in
the neighborhood of Clerkenwell, to med
itate on his fortune-seeking. He came
to the conclusion that wealth is most cer
tainly procured by industry and self-de
nial, and that here, as elsewhere, you must
pay the best price if you want the best
article.
He had managed to preserve from the
wreck of his property just enough to exist
upon, and he employed his time chiefly in
walking about, and viewing, with una
vailing regret, those places where he had
formerly exercised influence. But wheth
er this had a bad effect on his spirits, or
from whatever cause it might pro
ceed, his health gradually became worse,
until at last he was unable to stir from
his room. His old and severely-punished
sin, however, once more tempted him.
He could not prevail on himself to call
in a proper medical adviser, but availed
himself of the services of Mr. Abraham
Solomons, who assured him that he was
not only the cheapest but the cleverest
surgeon in London! Mr. Abraham
Solomons gave him some hope of recov
ery; but finding that he got no bet
ter, he changed his mind, and declared
the case hopeless.
“Mrs. Dickinson,” said our unfor
tunate hero, “I am dying. You have
been a kind landlady, and shall have all
I possess. I fall a victim to my neglect
of a truly noble axiom. Oh! Mrs. Dick
inson, take warning by my example, and
never yield to indolence and vanity—you
must pay the best price if—”
His voice failed; he never spoke again.
As, through life, he understood not the
golden maxim, so, in death, he was un
able to pronounce it.
A Fortune in Boots.
The rags which the Russian peasant
wears have struck all travelers who have
visited Russia. Sufficient to say that
boots are considered as objects of luxury,
and until now, in Little Russia, the girl
buys one pair of boots, and must wear
them throughout her life. On Sunday,
when she goes to church, she walks bare
footed in the cold mud of the road, and
only when she has arrived at the church
she washes her feet in a pond of water,
puts on her boots, and enters full dressed.
The three roubles (about six shillings)
she has paid for her boots are considered
by the peasant as such an immense
amount of money that his wife never
must expect to indulge in a similar ex
pense a second time during her life.

Origin of Names of the Fabrics.
Everything connected with one's busi
ness is of importance. Very few dry
goods men know the origin of the names
of many of the goods they handle.
They may seem trivial points, but they
are of interest to the man who seeks to
be thoroughly familiar with the merchan
dise in which he deals. For the infor
mation of such we give the derivation of
the following goods: Damask is from
the city of Damascus; satins from Zaytown
in China; calico from Calicut, a town in
India, formerly celebrated for its cotton
cloth and where calico was also printed.
Muslin, is named from Mosul in Asia.
Alpaca, from an animal in Peru,
of the llama species, from whose
wool the fabric is woven. Buckram
takes its name from Fos
tat, a city of the middle ages, from
which the modern Cairo is descended.
Taffeta and tabby from a street in Bag
dad. Cambric from Cambrai. Gauze
has its name from Gaza; baize for Bajac;
dimity from Damietta, and jeans from
Jean. Drugget is derived from a city in'
Ireland, Drogheda. Duck comes from
Torque, in Normandy. Blanket is called
after Tomas Blanket, a famous clothier
connected with the introduction of wool
ens into England about 1310. Serge de
rives its name from Xerga, a Spanish
name for a peculiar woolen blanket.
Diaper is not from D'Ypres, as is some
times stated, but from the Greek dias
pron, figured. Velvet is from the Italian
vellute, woolly (Latin vellus—a hide or
pelt). Shawl is the Sanscrit sala, floor,
for shawls were first used as carpets and
tapestry. Bandanna is from an Indian
word, to bind or tie, because they are
tiM in knots before dyeing. Chintz
TvwHiqn wnnj rhptt* Jiff,
hdne is the French “of wool.”— Trade

Invention of Glass.
The popular belief credits the inven
tion of glass to the Phoenicians, and our
readers will recall, no doubt, the story
of its fortuitous discovery by Phoenician
merchants who rested their cooking-pots
on blocks of natron (sub-carbonate of
soda), and found glass produced by the
union of the alkali and the sand of the
sea shore. It is unquestionable,however,
that the art of glass making and glass
working has been known from very re
mote times. The earliest example of
glass of which the date has been pre
served by an inscription, is of Egyptian
origin. It is a small lion's bead of opaque
blue glass. It was found at Thebes by
Signor Drovetti, and is now in the Brit
ish museum. The underside of this relic
contains hieroglyphics which bear the
name of an Egyptian monarch who lived
about 2,400 B. C. Other relics of glass
bearing inscriptions have been found
among the ruins and tombs of that an
cient nation, and in the tombs of Beni
Hasin, which are at least as early as 2,000
B; C., the art of glass-blowing is repre
sented in an unmistakable manner.— Bow

A MYSTERY OF THE SEA.
n ‘ Overtook the •‘City
to*”—Captain Murray’* Mean ua Ex-
A few years azo, the City of Boston sailed
from harbor, crowded with an expectant
throng of passengers bound for a foreign
shore.
She never entered port
The mystery of her untimely end grows
deeper as the years increase, and the Atlantic
voyager, when the fierce winds howl around
and danger is imminent on every hand, shud
ders as the name ani mysterious fate of that
magnificent vessel are alluded to.
Our reporter, on a recent visit to New
York, took lunch with Captain George Sid
dons Murray, on board the Alaska, of the
Guion line. Captain Murray is a man of
stalwart build, well-knit frame and cheery,
genial disposition. .He has been a constant
voyager for a quarter of a century, over half
of that time having be°n in the trans-Atlan
tic service. In the course of the conversation
over the well-spread table, the mystery of
the City of Boston was alluded to.
“Yes,” remarked the captain, “I shall
never forget the last night we saw that ill
fated vessel I wa j chief effleer of the City
of Antwerp. On the day we sighted the
City of Boston a furious southeast hurricane
set in. Both vessels labored h’ird. The sea
seemed determined to sweep away every ves
tige of life. When day ended the gale did
not abate, and everything was lashed for a
night of unusual fury. Our good ship was
turned to the south to avoid the
possibility of icebergs. The City of Boston,
however, undoubtedly went to the
north. Her boats, life-preservers and rafts
were all securely lashed; and when she went
down, everything went with her, never to re
appear until the sea gives up its dead.”
“What, in your opinion, captain, was the
cause of the loss of the City of Boston;”
“The City of Limerick, in almost precisely
the same latitude, a few days later, found the
sea full of floating ice; and I have no doubt
the City of Boston collided with the ice, and
sunk immediately.”
Cat tain Murray has been in command of
the Alaska ever since she was put in commis
sion, and feels justly proud of his noble ship.
She carries thousands of passengers every
Sear, and has greatly popularized ths Wil
ams & Guion line. Remarking upon the
bronzed and healthy apj carance of the cap
tain, the reporter raid that sea life did not
seem to be a very great physical trial.
“No 1 But a person’s appearance is not
always a trustworthy indication of his physi
cal condition. For seven years I have been
in many respects very much out of sorts with
myself. At certain times 1 was so lame that
it was difficult for me to move aromil. I
could scarcely straighten up. I did not know
what the trouble was, and though I j»er
formed all my duties regularly and satisfac
torily, yet I felt that I might some
day be overtaken with some serious pros
trating disorder. These troubles increased.
I felt dull and then, again, shooting jiains
through my ar—s and limbs. Possibly the
next day I would feel flushed and unaccount
ably uneasy and the day following chilly and
despondent. This continued until last De
cember, when I was prostrated soon after
leaving Queenstown, and for the remainder
of the voyage was a helplcs-, pitiful sufferer.
In January last, a friend who made that
voyage with me, wrote me a letter, urging
me to try a new course of a treatment. I
gladly accepted his counsel, and for the last
seven months have given thorough and busi
ness-like attention to the recovery of my nat
ural health; and to-day, I have tne proud sat
isfaction of saying to you that the lame back,
the strange feelings, the sciatic rheumatism
which have so long pursued me, have entirely
disappeared through the blood purifying in
fluence of Warner's Safe Rheumatic Cure
which entirely eradicated all rheumatic pois
on from my system. Indeed, to me, it se-nis
that it has worked wonders, and I therefore
most cordially commend it.”
“And you nave no trouble now in exposing
yourself to the winds of the Atlantic!”
“Not the least. lam as sound as a bullet
and I feel specially thankful over the fact
because I believe rheumatic and kidney dis
ease is in the blocd of my family. 1 was
drea ifully shocked on my last arrival in Liv
erpool to learn that my brother, who is a
wealthy China tea merchant, had suddenly
died of Brights disease of the kidneys, and
consider my self extremely fortunate in Lav
ing taken my trouble in time and before any
more serious effects were possible.”
The conversation drifted to other topics,
and as the writer watched the face before
him, so strong in al) its outlines and yet so
genial, and thought of the innumerable ex
posures and hardships to which its owner had
been exposed, he instinctively w shed all who
are suffering from the terrible rheumatic
troubles now socommon might know of cap-
Murray’s experience and the means by which
he had been restored. Fain is a common
thing in this world, but far too many endure
it when they might just as well avoid it. It
is a false philosophy which teaches use to
endure when we can just as readily avoid.
So thought the hearty captain of the Alaska,
-jguiJdnkjuLbh writer and so should all others
think who desire happiness and a long life.

Are Dreataa Prophetic V ‘
lOM* IMBTAMC** IS rOIMT—HOW riIXVICTIONS MAT
BE DEFEATED.
Ten days before his death Lincoln dreamed
that “ the President” lay dead in the White
House, “ killed by the hand of ‘hn assassin."
When his wife heard of the tragedy she ex
ilaimed, “His dream was prophetic!” Tha
majority of dreams, however, are never ful
filled—they are too fantastic, or they are
solved by contraiy events. People are often
posse-sel of the idea that they shall
soon die. They find themselves the
subject of strange feelings. They
know they are not what they once were, and
as they approach certain ages they are quite
sure they will not “be long of earth.” These
impressions as a rule are the result of an
imagination disordered by disease, but they
can be shaken off by prompt and thorough
measures. We are tld that very many dis
eases can be prevented; inded, half the
deaths are said to be preventable! Hence the
importance of always acting promptly in
ever}’ personal emergency.
Justice William Moul, of West Sandlake,
N, Y., very highly esteemed in Troy,was for
s'cars plagued by forebodings that he was
doomed to an early death. He had dull and
Hitting pains in various parts of the body,
his complexion was bad, his appetite wai
variable, he felt weary without known cause,
was constantly constipated, his tongue was
heavily coated, and irequent feverish dis
orders appeared. Then followed extreme
tenderness and pain in the back, great las
situde, gravelly deposits in water, which
was dark, frothy and odorous, all indicat
ing liver and kidney disorders. These de
velopments alarmed him. especially since
physicians did him no good. About giving
up in despair, he followed the counsel ol
one of the Supreme Court Justices to use
Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy (of
Rondout, N. Y.,) as an experiment. It scat
tered his bad feelings, revived his appetite,
restored his liver and kidneys, renewed his
ulood, increased his weight by twenty poundi
and to it alone he gives the credit of saving
his life.
Dreams and warnings and forebodings ol
early death need not always be fulfilled il
proper measures are promptly taken to de
feat them. — Troy (N. F.) Tinies.
Walnut Leaf Hair Restorer.
It is entirely different from all others. It
is as clear as water, and as its name indicates
is a perfect Vegetable Hair Restorer. It will
immediately free the head from all dandruff,
restore gray hair to its natural color, and pro
duce a new growth where it has fallen off. It
does not in any manner affect the health,
which sulphur, sugar of lead and nitrate oi
silver preparations have done. It will change
light or faded hair in a few days to a beauti
ful glossy brown. Ask your druggist for it.

A Case Not Beyenil Help,
Dr. M. H. Hinsdale, Kenawefe, HL, ad
vises us of a remarkable case of consump
tion. He says: “A neighbor’s wife was at
tacked with violent lung disease, and pro
nounced beyond help from quick consump
tion. As a last resort the family was per
suaded to try Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam for the
Lungs. To the astonishment of all, by the
time she ha I used one half dozen bottles she
was about the house doing her own work.”
The Beat for Butter.
There is but one best color for butter, and
that that is Wells, Richardson & Co.'s Im
proved Butter Color, no candid investigate:
doubts. It is the best butter color in th<
world; is free from sediment or impurity
always ready for instant use, and it imparti
to butter that, rich dandelion yellow, withou
a tinge of red, which is the acme of desira
bility in any butter co'or.
