Longevity o’fa Good De and.
There is a neat little story from
Kentucky. About twenty five ears
aujo a young man from that Sta e took
a horseback ride in Virginia, where
his father erne from, and on h s way
he met a man and his family ten ov
ing West, who were so poor as to be
almost reduced to starvation. He had
compassion on the wretched g oup
and gave them a twenty dollar bill
with which to reach their journeys
end. In about fifteen years the young
man received a letter from the -ante
man he had befriended, saying he was
a prosperous merchant in Sou'hern
Kentucky, and a twenty dollar b 11 to
pay his loan.
After another ten years, which in
cluded she great rebellion and it*! ter
t * •
ruination, he was elected to the L >wer
House of the Kentucky Legislature,
aud being a man of talent and i ithi
enee, was chosen Speaker, in the con
test for which he had noticed a strati
ger, and one of the other party, was
his strongest supporter. IDs ctriosi
ty was aroused by this and he asked
the man’s motive, as he never had, to
his Knowledge, seen him before. “ Sir,”
replied the member, “You will recall,
when I mention it, a little scene occur
red when you were a little boy on
your way to Virginia. It was you
who saved my wife from starv .lion.
She told me time, and again, that nev
er did a morsel of food taste so sweet,
so un liter ably delicious, as that you
gave her then. She was just six years
bid at that time but when shi saw
your name during the late canvass
among the prominent probable candi
dates for the Speakership, she laid
down the law as how I was to vote.
This is all. Neither she, nor her father
and mother, brother and sisters, nor
myself can ever forget you.”
No Home,
No Dome What a misfortune 3
How earl the thought! Thee are
thousands who know nothing .if the
blessed influence of comfortable homed
merely because of a want of thr It, or
it om dissipated habits. Youth spent
in frivolous amusements and and o>kl
iziug associatitns, lea ting them it mid
dle age, when the physical and intel
lectual man should be I t its g atest
vigor, enervated and without an r 1 .till
able ambition. Friends long sin e
lost, confidence gone, and nothi ig to
look to in old age but a mere toh-ia
tion in the community wher tiny
should be ornaments. No home t > fly t..
when wearied «ith the struggl s inci
dent to life; no wife to cheer th in in
their despondency; no children to a mse
them, and no virtuous househ *.d to
give rest to the joys of life. All is
blank, and there is no hope or succor
except that, which is given out by
hnml* of pn\ate or public charities.
When the family of the industrious
and Sober citizens gather around the
cheerful fire of a wintry day, the home
less man is seeking a shelter in the
cells of station house, or begging for
a night’s rest in the out-building of
one who started in life at the same
time, with no gieater advantages; but
honesty and industry build up that
home, while dissipation destroyed ti.e
other.
Newspapers.— Dr. Johnson, wl en
in the fullness of years and knowledge,
said; “ I never take up a newspaper
without finding something I would
have deemed it a loss not to have seen;
never without deriving from it infrac
tion and amusement.” The newspa
per in Johnson’s time were meagre
enough compared with those of to-day.
Now a yearly newspaper volume is a
perfect encyclopedia.

in these columns to show how the

lawyer in Sun Franiesco, a Mr. Harvey
By me, lias brought to light one ofthe
most extraordinary and startling epi
sode.* of real drama ever record* and. It
is a story as strange as it is touching.
Matilda Heron, who has recently
been brought before the public atten
tion by htr failure on the boards* and
allcdged madness, was one ofthe most
famous actresses ofthe day, twenty
years ago. Her beauty and genius
were wonderful, and she starred
through the country with unsurpassed
success. Young, lovely, brilliant and
social, she was ft ted like a queen.
She received a homage that was nev
er exceeded. In San Francisco she
captivated this Mr. Byrne, then a brill
iunt and promising young lawyei of
high social standing and lofty character.
He won her heart, addressed and be
came engaged to her with the under
standing that she was to fill her stage
engagements then made, wed him and
retire from the stage. His impatience
could not wait. He hastened on to
New York a id they were privately
manied, June I>, 1H54. Enjoying a
honeymoon of only five diys, he was
called back home by business, and left
her to finish her engagements. At
their conclusion he went for her. He
remained vith her one night, and then
without explanation left her forever.
He became a moody, melancholy man.
lie gave no explanation of his course.
Hi* wooe l his profession with redoub
led energy, winning its highest hon
ors and weightiest emoluments. He
kept hi gnat sorrow to himself.
His sensitive, c ivalrous nature felt
the blow keenly. His life was tinged
to its very close.
The c tt. e of his leaving so sudden
ly the w man he adored and wtddid
was sai to be certain information he
learned of her inconstancy. The
tempta oi of her da igemm ad d.-z
zling li.‘ weie too much for her. She
yielded 1.. the glitteiing evils that ac

Her subsequent career has been

A few days ago Mr. Byrne died,

estate. The will la> been admitted
to probate. Uod v the California law,
the husband can only will half of his
property away, acquired since his mar
riage, if he leaves a widow. She gets
the other half.
The paper* till us that the poor old
woman is hastening to San Francisco
to claim the half of her property as
his widow. The proof of marriage
and absence of divorce will give it to
her, notwithstanding the subsequent
marriage to Schoepel, which was void,
and cannot defeat her rights as a wid

indictment for bigamy if any one
should press it.
It is certainly a strange and affect

crime, vicissitude, misery and misfor

Our New Yo k Letter.
New York, March 18, 1872.
I suppose there is no metropolis in
the world which so thoroughly repre
sents the heterogeneous character of a
nation, and absorbs the products of its
genius and industry, as does this self
same city ofNew York. It impossible
for anv observant man to walk down
Broadway aid not be iuteres ed first,
in the number of “notorieties’* who
will be pointed out as “ lions” of the
town; and secondly, in the curious ob
stinacy with which nature appears to
preserve the peculiarities of people
from different portions of the world.
It is equally impossible for a stranger
not to feel that while in New York he
is a mere nonentity; that whatever niav
be the pomp and circumstances of his
surroundings at home, lie is here only
a n.ite m a mighty cheese; yet withal
so independent that he can explore
where he may please, and no man, wo
man or child will be the wiser. “He
pass his money and he take3 hb
choice."
If religiously inclined, hemavenjoy
a Methodist brother of the go< and old
school; or, on the other hand, may see
the Almighty worshiped dra natically
with all the adjuncts except the foot
lights, and preached at by fashionable
pan-ons who part their hair in the mid
dle, wear the latest sacerdotal uniform,'
and look a* well satisfied as if they
had a fat contract with their aristocrat
ic parisioners to drive them to Heav
en at the last convenient moment in a
■coach and four. If a lawyer, he van
step into court and observe John Gra
ham perform legal gymnastics Lefoie
the bar, and now and then bushwhack
the judge on the bench If an aitist,
he may visit the studio, on Tenth
street, where fifty of his fellows are
working for and ar lift? on every sort of
picture, from a small-sized bumble-bee
to Gignoux’s last sketch ofthe Rocky
Mountains. If he would like to gam
ble a liitle, why he has only to step
around the corner in Wall street, and
be accompanied by any number of
young gentlemen, fr-sh from the Ful
ton st e t prayer meeting, and first
class members of* the Christian Asso
ciation, who in fifteen minutes will
take him in and bring h; a out oh a
stock speculation t at will leave him
as cleanly picked as a ca i vass-baek
duck ready for the spit. As an idler,
he can lounge on Bio d.vay, where
fashion aud fraility a. e the Siamese
twins of the sidewalk; aud, if his tastes
are not too refined a policeman will
show him wretchedness enough in five
minutes walk from his hotel to make
a series of unadulterated nightmares
that, will last for lifetime.
The practical man will be attracted,
by other things. He will see in New
York tlie genius of his country in a
nut-shell; and, how in every depart
meat, machinery is taking the place
of muslce. He will go to bed in a
machine which five minutes before
looked like it magnificent book-ca-e;
he will be gently turned out n the
morning—by machinery; his head will
be brushed in the barber shop—by
machinery; his clothes are made by
machinen, that gives employment to
a hundred thousand working women;

and times the condition of the hot

Journeyman Printers of New York

which every member is a cog-wheel in

every kind of printing at the same

the most superb styles of work Go
where you please, in fact, and yon will
find every species of device conceiva
ble that can serve a useful purpose as
an auxiliary to human comfort, from a
pocket twine cutter to a cotton gin or
steam engine,
Th v are even Wilding railroad; by
machinery, and under its magic vil
lages are springing up with a spied
that recalls the fairy work of Aladdin’s
lamp, It is only the other day that
A. T. Stewart pu c iased i ight th u
sand acres of land on Long Island, and
al eady twenty-five or thiity miles of
streets are graded; shade trees are
planted, block* are fenced in, and a
large hotel, six hundred feet long and
six stories high, is in process of con
struction, besides many fine brick edi
fices.
Five months ago, there was no com
munication between the north and
south side of Long Island save by the
old-fashioned dirt road. Yet before
the flowers bud in May, twenty-two
miles of rail wid be laid and no less
than twelve beautiful villages will be
brought within an horn’s ride of New
York city. By machinery, the w T ork
of three years will be compressed info
about seven months. A portion of
the way lies through a rocky spine
or ri dje, which at first »cemed a bar-
rier almost insurmountable. But at
this juncture a well known railroad
contractor, Mr James N. Smith, of
Brooklin, stepped forward and saicl,
“ Gentlmen, tnat hill is only a mile
and a half across; I’ll guarantee to go
thorugh it in ninety days.” It was
thought to be an impossibility, but let
him try. He at or.ee put a steam ex
cavator at work on either side ad
commenced operations. With a ton
of coal a day, they performed the woik
of three hundit»d men, and ai*e now
within a few rods of each other, puff
ing and b!< wing while they burrow
deep into the heart ofthe mountain.
1 drove out the other day to see these
monsters at woak, and the first objet”
that attracted my attention was the six
foot niillicniave contractor, MY. Smith,
with his broadcloth coat thrown aside,
(hiving a drill with a twenty pound
sledge. I asked him if he v*as “tak
ing his constitutional?" “Not in
that style,” was the leplv; “I’m only
teaching this man how to economize
his muscles and work to advantage.”
The answer seemed to illustrate the
genius of the place.
I looked down the deep cut at the
machine. It was not much larger
than a small cabin—a sort of young
house on wheels, but those wheels
with the motive power in the heart of
the engine could give it a speed of six
or eight miles an hour A gigantic
arm protruded from the front, at the
end which was a gieat iron hand with
sharp claws, and these were made to
ascend and descend at the will of one
man. The operator occupied a plat
form lira the engine, and with but a
single contrivance—a stirrup for h's
foot and a lever for his hands—he
moved tons.
I remember that a great rock was
bulging from the hard knotted face of
the batik, which it seemed as if noth
ing but a blast of powder cotild stir;
a”d t was curious to observe how dett
Iv those large iron fingers cleaned out,
first, th»» dirt beneath; then removed
the d’rt from the sides; then gent’y
scraped the top; and fina'lv, taking a
firm grip, shook the rock with a giant’s
strength, until nature at last gave way
to the art of man, and the immense
boulder weighing ten or t welve tons
was lift*d from its bed with as little
power apparently as a boy would lift
a marble, swung around and deposited
in a dumpear by its side. At e: ch
operation of the shovel on the pure
< a: th, a ton and a halt is forever f om
its bi and.
A train of forty or fifty cars wist on
the machine, and it was curious to oh
serve the almost human intelligence
with which the horses, trained to their
work, dashed up on a run, each with an
empty ear to give it impetus, and of
their own accord went hack, turne
and presented the traces to be hooked
on the next.

VYhat “Ultramontane” Means.—
The tevra “ultramontane’ is much
used in books and newspapers, and
but little understood. It is one ct
those words which, from representing
a locality, has come to represent a re
ligious beliet aid political party Ul
tramontane literally means beyond the
mountains. When used as a political
term it refers to Italy and the political
and religious tenets of the Church of
Home. Ultrainontanism is a be’iet in
the unbounded supremacy of the Pope
aud the union of the Church with the
State. Repre en’atives of these prin
ciples, in whatever nation of Europe
they aie. found, are called ultramon
tane3. In Spaitie, in Fiance, in Ger
many and Austria the ultrainantane
pßt ty has been a strong element in
the direction of public affairs.—Balti

I found the cherished face of Maria
Ann wreathed in smiles, the other
evening, when I returned from my ar
duous daily toil. (I am engaged as
standing man at a saloon. So many
candidates are treating, that the saloon
keeper hires six of us to be treated.—
VVe all drink with every candidate
who comes in, and it makes busiuess
pretty brisk.)
Said my chosen one, “Joshua, I am
afraid you do not always find me an
angel in disposition."
Said I, “That’s so—hie—my dear,
I don't seldom find you ’n angle in—in
anything." *
“And, she added, “you are not al
ways the most pleasant uian in the
world.”
I did not feel called on to reply.
“Now,” said she, “read that.”
She had cut an item from the col
umns of some paper wherein a dement*
ed writer told about some impossible
woman who, being troubled with a
bad temper, counted twenty-fiive every
time she got provoked, and thus be
came a sweet, amiable, and dearly
loved ornament of the honse of her
delighted husband. I read the article
as well as the condition of my head
would allow, and remarked “Bosh.”
Maria Ann paid no attention to me
but unfolded her plan. She said that
every lime I got mad I should count
twenty-five, and every time she got
mad she would count twenty five. I
asked her who the d—l she thought
would pay oftr Vfcnt while we sat and
counted twenty-live, over and over all
day long.-Then she said I was always
raising objections to her plans for our
mutual improvement,and I said I was
not, and she said I was enough to try
the patience of a saint, and I said she
was too, and she “came for me,” and 1
told her to count twenty-five ; but she
forgot all about that, and tallied one
in ir.y left eye. .. ~
Then I was going to remonstrate
with the poker, and she told me to
count twenty-five, and I said I would
not; but I did before she had pulled
more tnan half my hair out. Then
she made me count twenty-five over
and over, until I was out of breath
and felt real pleasant and good-natured.
So we went to supper. Now the cat
was curled up in my chair, but l did
not see it until I sat down ; and I did
nut see it then, but I was pretty sure
it was theve, in tact i knew it was
there as well as I wanted to, and more
too. I tclt inclined to rise up suddenly
bu? aa I gathered to spring she brand

“Joshua, your temper is rising ; count
twenty-five or I’ll break your head,”
and that cat drawing a map ot the
Tenth Waid with htsr claws abound
behind me with the streets and bound
aries marked in my blood. I rose to
explain, and said, “My dear—l—bui
she caromed on n.y head with a well
shot tea-cup, and sprinkled my face
with a quart of hot tea, and I sat down
ad counted twenty-five ; but it killed
the cat. The old fellow died haid,

ujue lives went out one by one.
A few day’s practice ot this rule,

die happy—counting twenty-five.
Apples for Human FooJ.
With us tne value of the apple as
an aiticle of food is far underrated.—
Besides containing a large amount of
sugar, mucilage, and other nutritive
matter, apples contain vegetable acids
aromatic qualities, etc., which act pow
erfully in the capacity of refrigerants
tonics aud antiseptics, and when free
ly used at the season of mellow ripe
ness they prevent debility, in ligestion
and avert, without doubt, many of the
“ills which flesh is heir to.” The op
•uators of Cornwall, England, consider
rpe app’es nearly as nourishing as
bread and far more so than potatoes.
In the year 18 )1 which was a year of
scarcity—apphs in tend of being con
verted into cider were sold to the
poor, and the laborers asserted that
they could “stand their work” on
baked apples without meat; whereas
a potato diet required either meat or
some other substantial nutriment.—
Toe F e»h and Gem ans use apj les
extensively; so do the inhabitants of
all the European nation. The labor
ers depend Upon them as an article of
so and, and frequently make a dinner of
sliced apples and bread. There is no
ruit cooked in as many and fferent ways
! iu our cou t y as apples, nor is there
an Irak whose value, as an article of
! nutriment, is as great and so little ap-
I predated.— Water Cure Journal.
