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 Miscellaneous Sclcdioas.

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.

Try to give up your will and way to others in tnfles as in more important' matters, ex- oept where princinfc-ftfctol ved. Do' not complain of little discomforts, but bear them cheerfully. Try to avoid making disagreeable remarks oi any description, and make no unpleasaut comparisons. Do net perform disagreeable duties with a martyr-like air, but always cheerfully. Do not indulge the idea that in a different position from the one in which God has plaoed you, you would lead a better, happier life. Strength of a Mother's Love.-—As- sene Houssaye, tbe brilliant French nove list and Paris correspondent of the New York Tribune, relates.this incident of the late terrible floods In the south of France: The journals and the telegrams have told vou all about these misfortunes, bat you know little about the private tragedies which have melted even Paris to tears.«I will tell you one story omoogmany. < A young moth er is awakened by tbe inundation. She has two diildres),. twins; at the brents jfiamhle little girls. The water invades her house; it is night and the hour is fall of terror. The husband takes care of himself and mounts on the roof But the mother thinks only of her children; she ties them to her breast with a scarf, and as die is about to swim from the house she thinks that the bread-trongh will serve as a boat. The house is tottering as the mother embarks in her frail boat. She b ly out of the house when i{ goes to The husband disappears in the The little boat floats sway, but strikes against a tree and it overturned. The E woman seizes a branch and climbe Into ree with the strength of a lioness fight- or her young. But the tree is young it bends; it will not hold all three. The mother secs that the end has come, but her mother- t A is not conquered. She ties her children the strongest brapeh, kisses them again, she signs them with the sign of the cross, and cries “To the mercy of God I” .• :d; .*• 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. That John Wha not insensihle to her at tractions may well be imagined, and what the consequences might hay* fowffi 1 cannot te^,,)f hoinoart had not bee* already pre- oceppied. That being thftcpec, there was no rrrm thnrn fm thn ftjr rtmnjjni. ssrn in the ,way of friendship, apd he showed hi* friend ship by. bringing Mary* hb betrothed, to see iU ■ O ■■ •• i =."iT *W« 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.

Mr. John Mallory—if it’s hi* you mean.” “The same, no doubt.

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.
