CIGAR AND TOBACCO
EMPORIUM.
MR. G, HAUSER,
Keeps constantly on hand a fins assortment of a
3xro X CIGARS,
Chewing and Smoking Tobacco,
and .most sensible review of tbe subject, from
tbe editorial columns of tbe New York Sun:
In spite of tbe new brim with which the
spublicans closed their 'fHtafidHable career
in the last Congress, under ptetewt of mak-
" od the deficiency in tbe sinking fund
which Bout well and RiGpxftosoK left as a
legacy of official misfeasahee, ‘the revenue
feom customs has not impeved wt all. On
tbe contrary, tbe last thm* 1 mouths, which
cover to a great extent the ftll importations,
show a falling off of quite two and ft half
millions as compared with tort year.
Instead offan improvement and, revival of
the machinery does hi
therefore move with regular or healthy activi
ty. To disguise this fact from ourselves
would be unwise.
With this first quarter before us, the open
ing of the fiscal year is far from being en
couraging. It will be fortunate indeed, if
the remaining nine monthfi exhibit no worse
results, for the country is passing through an
unprecedented financial crisis, the full effect
of which has by no means been expended.
The stern fact that it has rather augmented
than abated at the end of two years is full of
9 nificance.
fn this condition of things, the Secretary of
the Treasury will have to confront a Demo
cratic House of Representatives on the first
Monday of December, with a budget the very
opposite of cheerful. His estimates have
not been verified thus far, and- the surplus
i of more then twenty millions which be assum
ed upon a liberal margin of figures, is likely
to vanish into thin air, as some ether dele
sions have done, long before next July, when
the accounts will be balanced.
For political effect on the pending fall
elections, and with the knowledge that the
responsibility had passed from their hands
in the new Congress, Mr. Garfield and his
associates made a show at the last session of
Braui Cent Upon 11
John Mallory was returning from Ins day's
work, with his spade over his shoulder, when
he saw a woman sitting close to the wall,
weeping bitterly,
John had a kind heart and was easily
moved at the sight of distress, so he stepped
and addressed the woman.
“You seem to be in trouble”--that was
what he said. The mourner lifted her face,
very young woman,
scarcely more than a girl, in ftet. But this
did not lesson his pity at all; possibly it in
creased it, for his heart was human as well as
kind. . : . , VT(
“Troublp? Ab, yea; I have come such
a long, long way, and am so fatigue—so much
weary! ! [went to the people’s doors, but
no one said anything only: ‘Go* wav! we
have no room for strangers. Go to the ho
tel, why do you not ?”
“So I went to the hotel, but the landlord
■was worse than all the" rest Oh, how he
frighten nje, he was so fierce, so • loud!. He
called mea tramp—a thief—because he found
I had no money. No money, yes, that was
it; and he bade me go about my business;
but I have no business, and so I came out
into the wopd; to die alone.”
“Cheer up, then, if thatsis all," said John,
“and come with me. My mother won’t drive
you from her door, you may be sure.”
And John spoke truly, for his mother's
heart was like his own. She only needed to
know that the girl was a stranger and in dis
tress to give her a cordial welcome.
“Take off your things, my dear," said she,
removing the girl’s shawl with her own
hands, “oudsit here by the fire. How you
shiver, poor child! You are chilled to the
bone.”
“You fire so kind—so very kind!” said
the visitor, taking the rocking-chair offered
her; and then John saw that she was not

An iKOENfous Bird.—A Milwaulde
paper records a very curious sight which
was afforded by a robin lately, in a yard! on
the west side of the city. ’A* little fellow
was busily- engaged in gathering material
for the construction of a nest. In flying
around he discovered an old nest fastened
to a tree, and intertwined in this nest waa a
long string, just what he wanted. One
end of the string floated loosely, while the
other was fastened in the nest. Robin
seized the string and endeavored to pnlFii
out. It was too tightly fastened for an or
dinary pull. and he accordingly took a short
hold and violently threw nis head back.
Still ft wouldn’t come. After apparently
thinking a moment he tried a new plan.
Setting the end of the string firmly in his
bill, be tumbled heavily from the Hmb, and
allowed his full weight to pull upon the
coveted article. Thu he tried over'and
over again, but without avail At last he
entered the nest and diligently tugged at
the fastened end of tbe string .untune suc
ceeded in loosening it. Then he dre w it
throngh and spddaway to make use of it in
his new home. - •

The piteous drama was witnessed by spec
tators who could do nothing in aid until a
quarter of an hour was gone. The mother
was drowned* hut the children were saved
like Moses. They were adopted by the Sis
ters of Charity-of Castelsarraxiu. The mo
ther’s funeral was an occasion of mourning
in the midstof the general, sorrow. Her
face seemed sanctified by_ her action. One
of my friends said to me, “I ne ver saw such
beauty.” Her eyes were half closed, her
lips slighly open, her hands crossed above
her brmst. There is no spectacle more di
vine than that of maternity in sacrifice.

VUW<w it was tosee tbe two together—
Mary, tn* staid New England gud« with :her
rosy cheeks, her calm blue eyes and yellow
hair; her plain dres* and steady northern
tongue ;' ■ and EsfolU* with her olivn shin,
her; hair #pd eyes as dark as night, her finci-
ful, idiornatiespeech, and her wry figure,
which gave grace even to the warn garments
which dotipd it. It wan the brown thrush
and tho canary bird sitting ride by ride on
an apple-tree bough.
Still thn got on well together, these two,
end kwed each other when they parted.
But when.Estelle parted from Mrs. Mallory
she hung oo her peck 4U if it had been her
own dear mother sbe wafcbnving. -
John saw her safely on her journey, and
when he took her hand to say farewell he
left in it a small purse, containing a sum
sufficient for her expenses.
“I shall not forget you, ever—ever—bo,
not till my dying day does come,” said Es
telle, with tears in her eyes. “The good
God bless you for your kindness to the poor
stranger—you, and'-ydor mother wod thn
pretty Marie.”
In a few weeks the Mallory’s received a
letter from Estelle, saying that she had reach-
ed her journey's end in safety and was among
friends. It was the only letter they ever re
ceived from her. *•
In course of time John and Mary were
marnedpaod settled down on Mallory form,
and therofor the present we win leave them.
One dftrija handsome traveling carriage
drew bp before tbe door of a hole! in a quiet
New England village. It was an event in
tbe history of that hotel, for never had such
an establishment been seen there before.
Out came the two hostlers, but came the
stable-boys; out came the bar-keeper, nod,
lastly, out came the landlord himself.
A gentleman alighted from tho carriage
and was followed by a beautiful and richly-
dressed lady. Bobbing hb bare head and
waving aside hb subordinates the obsequious
landlord led thfc way to the parlor, took the
orders of hb dbtinguisbed guests and com
municated them to hb servants. Then there
was an opening and shutting of doors,*a ring-
ingofbelb, a rushing to and fro—in short,
tumult as if the queen bad come.
When the travelers were left to themselves
the lady broke into a merry laugh.
“Oh, it b too droll, Sir Edward; it is the
tme landlord who fifteen years ago, bade
me begone for a thief and a tramp”
r-i “The villain 1 I should like to lay my
cane over hb back,” said Sir Edward.
1 It isn’t worth while—such an insignificant
k,” said the lady; “only don’t Cuke on
airs, thinking all thb attention b for us. It
b only for our carriage and horses, and our
dothA”
By and by, the landlord having made
some further errand to the parlor, the lady,
who was sitting by the window, remarked:
“ You have a pleasant little village here.”
“As pleasant and thriving a village as any
in the country, answered the delighted land*
lord.
“Do you know if there is a family by the
name of Mallory tiring here?” askeq she,
“There’s a former by that name, ma’am.
Mr. John Mallory—if it’s hi* you mean.”
“The same, no doubt. He’s living, then
—andhb mother Y' “She died some six
years ago,'ma’am, and it’s well, perhaps,
sting the misfortune thafs come to the
r
r _
‘Then yon don’t know,” said the land
lord, delighted to have some intelligence to
communicate, but marvelling much that thb
great lady could feel any interest in the
MalloryB. “Well, itfe a great misfortune,
and the worst of it is, it was all s his own
fault. If people will be so foolbb, they
must take the consequences. There wasn't
a more prosperous man in town than John
Mallory, and, hb property being mostly in
real estate, there was no reason why he
shouldn’t keep it always, and hb children af
ter .him, for real estate doesn’t take to itself
wings and fly away as other riches do. But
what does John do but sign a note for a
friend, and now he’s lost everything.”
“Everything?”
“Everything—just turned himself and
family out of house and home. That is
to say, they’ll have to go; there is no help for
it”
“He’s at tbe old place now, bhe?”
“He b ma’am, but be won’t be long; the
sale takes place to-day.”
“Thanks,” said the lady; and then, as if
to herself, “Poor John 1 so like him.”
“You know him ?" queried the landlord.
“He showed me great kindness once, fif
teen years ago. I was here, also, at that
time. You do not remember it."
“It b very strange, but really, ma’am, it
has escaped my recollection.”
“Quite likely. It was before my marriage.”
And with thb the landlord was forced to be
satisfied.
The sale was over, and John Mallory was
wandering from room to room takiug a mute
farewell of the house which he could no lon
ger call hb own, when hb tittle daughter
came to say that a lady was in the parlor wbo
had asked for him.
“Very well,” said he, supposing it to be
some neighbor who wished to see him on a
trifling matter of business; but when he open
ed the door a stranger stood before him.
She greeted him courteously, and th
said, without any circumlocution :
1 “I am the purchaser of your fikrm, add
have brought the deed, that you may see if it
ball right.” ,
He took it Ibtiessly enough, but as he
glanced over it hb countenance changed.
“Idon't understand,” said he; and no
wonder, for the deed was made out in hb
own name. ■ :
“So yon, too, have forgotten me, as well
as the big landlord up there; but maybe you
will remember that,” and she held out a quere
tittle purse of netted silk.
JMm Malkny fixed hb startled gaze upon
her face, and something in the iustrons
the sinning mouth, touched a long-eilent
chord of memory. Shejsaw it, and, answer
ing hb looks, said: : ' 'C**
“Yes, I am Estelle LeRoy, and the same
providence which sent you to me id my dia-
pair has seat me to you in yonT time of sor-

love your mother? ’ You w&i never meet
eye «b tender, a hand as gentle, ora heart as
kind as hen. No love will ever be so'strong
as that which she bears you. It was she who

other ears had grown weary Of them. She
would cool tbe heavy brow, change the
heated pillow,. and answer yonr countless
calls till the stare paled to the heavens, and
yet no repining words escaped her tips.
It was yonr mother who watched over you
to childhood, taught your lisping tongue its

your unsteady weight She has happy if
iur childbh heart was full of joy; or if your
clouded, with loving words and
gentle manner, she was ever ready to dis
perse it. In youth, she guided the feet which
are prone to err, into the paths of peace and of
wisdom. and
Then we mutt love her who has so much
loved us.
When you go forth into the world if you

at your feet: but so soon as fortune frowns,
these friends will desert you for one more fo-
vored by fortune. Tb then a mother’s love
will Milne' the brighter; and to the dSptlfc bf
her devotion wfil make you forget that the

Then let your mother see that you think
of her; perform those tittle nameless atten
tions which can only answer the demand of a
loving heart.
