A Fable with a Moral
Once upon a time, many years a*
go, there was a beautiful woman and
a brave man who were very much
attached to each other, and the day
was appointed lor the wedding.
Before the appointed time arrived
the lady had grown weary of her
choice, and refused to fulfill the con
tract. Another and more wealthy
suitor had sued tor her favor, and
when the day arrived that was to
have made her the bride of the first
lover, she went into the church with
his rival, and took upon herself the
vows that made her his wife while
they both lived.
The rejected suitor was beside
himself wilh grief, and in his sorrow
he ihirsled for revenge. So he call
ed upon the Evil One,and the Evil
One appeared.
The man repeated to him tho sto
ry of his wrongs, and asked him to
give him the means of revenge, and
name his reward.
The Evil One gave into his hands
a sealed package, and instructed
him to proceed to the home of the
bride, and when the guests passed
before her to present the wedding
gift, to give into her hand the sealed
package and relire.
He did ?o ; and when he returned
to hi3 house he found the Evil One
still there, and was informed that he
had waited lo complete the arrange
ments lor a final settlement.
‘How much do I owe you ?’ asked
the man; and I lie Evil One replied :
‘Your soul.’
*’Tis too much P cried the man.
‘The contents of the sealed pack
age are worth more to me than a
score of souls, for it will eventually
bring them in bv scores,’ soliloquiz
ed the Evil One, then added aloud :
Your soul 1 musi have, hut 1 will
li'st tell you li e value of the serviie
I have done for you.’
‘The contents of the package!’
demanded the man.
‘Six pairs of thin soled shoes, and
a pair of corseis,’ replied the Evil
< >ue, with a grin.
‘Throw in the law of divorce, and
its a bargain,’ said ihe man, seeing
how speedily the thin shoes and
cor« Is would bring the faithless
woman to her death.
And the Evil One consented to
e-iablisli a law of divorce among
the people of the earth,and departed.
Fora time the newly-wedded pair
lived happily, but the corsets and
the thin shoes that the bride wore
caused her to lose her charms, and
she grew hateful in her husband’s
eyes, until at last lie sought a divorce
and obtained it.
Then, indeed, did the rejected
suitor reap the reward of his efforts
for revenge, for the once beautiful
woman was now a faded, neglected,
divorced wife, and no friend had she
left. Yet she refused to give up the
pretty thin shoes and the corsets,
and in a lew months she died with
them on.
And the Evil One came for his
dues. But the laws of divorce, anil
tho fashion of wearing thin shoes
and corsets were established among
women, and because ot the rich
iiarvest of souls this fashion and this
law brought to him, he forgave the
man his debt, and in time the man
forgot his wrongs and went about
ihe couritry'lecturing upon Woman’s
Rights- wilh Anna Dickenson and

A Japanese Bed.—A traveler
in the Easi gives the following amus
ing description of the sleeping ac
commodations of the Japanese; A
inattras in the form of a very thick
quilt, about seven feel long and four
wide was spread on the floor, and
over it was laid an ample robe, very
long and heavily padded, and provi
ded with large sleeves. Having
puton ibis nightdressthp sleeper cov
ers bimself with another quilt, and
sleeps, i. «., “if he has had some
years practice,” in use oi l his bed.
But the most remarkable feature
about a Japanese bed is ihe pillow.
This is a wooden box about lour
inches high, eight incites long and
two inches wide at the top. It nns
a cushion of lolded pa|>ers on th
upper side lo rest the neck on, lor the
elahoiate manner of dressing the
hair does not permit the Japanese,
especially the women, to press
the head on ;be pillow. Every
morning, the upper most paper
is taken off from the cushion,
xpos ng a ( lean surface with
out llie expense of washing a
pillowcase. I passed a greater part
of the night in learning how to poise
my head in this novel manner ; and
when I finally closed my eyes, it
was to dreatn that I was being slow
ly beheaded, and to wake at the cri
sis to find the pillow bottom side up,
and my neck resting on the sharp
lower edge of the box. Dur tag my
stay in the country, 1 learned rpauy
No. 30.
iif its customs, musicnng ibe u-e of
t*ic chop-sticks and accustoming my
palate to raw fresh fish, but the at
tempt to balance my head on a two
inch pillow, 1 gave up in despair,
after trying in vain to secure the
box by tying iMo my neck and head.
The Seed and the Flowers.
A brown and misshappen seed
fell from a tall, withered vine to the
ground, where it alighted among a
bevy of beautiful blossoms that
were resting in the long grass.
The poor brown seed lira nk from
their haughty and disdainful glan
ces, and remained ashamed and
trembling.
“Who art thou,” exclaimed the
stately (lowers, one and all, “that
dare penetrate our favorite bower in
so ragged and homely a dress?”
“1 am an emblem of the past,”
replied the seed, meekly, “and 'I
have alighted to rest for a time.”
“An emblem of the past,” reiter
ated the blossoms, scornfully
“Know, then, that we are the guar
dians of the present. Go awav;
we have no use for you here.”
The brown seed, gird to escape
such a neighborhood, was taken by
a kind bieath of air to the margin
of u silver stream. Here it con
tented itself with quietly dreaming
away, until its mother earth -hould
receive it into her bosom, ami when
summer returned it would arise
again in new beauty.
Autumn passed, and winter came
with icy’ breath and cold fingers ;
the blossoms were faded and dead,
out the seed was hidden in the
earth. Summer came cnee more
'.villi golden sunrays and soft air.

“Knowest thou m ti ? " is:, a h
vine of the blossoms.
“An. yes.” replied the det jfjt <
blossms “we know tln-e by thv
beauty, and love thee bectuse thou
shadest us from the hot sun ”
“I will tell you,” said the vine,
mildly, as it opened its ciimson
flowers and shook its velvet leaves.
“Long ago, when I was a poor,
brown seed, ugly and mussbappen,
you scorned and drove me from you ;
now [ am rich and beautiful, and
you seek my company. Know that

Ashamed and humbled, the blos

Bpoke not, while the vine twined
lovingly around its true friend, the
tall tree, shaking perfume.s from its
crimson flowers, while the sunbrams
played upon its dark-green leaves.
Cotton Ste»lagi.— The t ribune of
last Saturday gravely announces that it
has been developed in the United State*
Court of Claims t hat about one halt the
value of the Southern cotton seized by
government agents during the war, has
been solen. The proceeds of sales re
turned were thirty millions, the resalt of
sales at 29 cents a pound, when the cot.
ton was worth 75 cents. The swindling
was effected by collusion with purchas
ers ; but the claimants ot the c-. ton re
fuse to accept the prices obtaicel.—
Large amounts of this cotton belonged
to British subjects, whose claims lor re
clamation under the mixed commission
treaty will in this way subject the gov
ernment to very heavy losses. Thatisa
pity. But when the government goes
to stealing, how can they expect tbeir
tools and instruments will be honest.
The further development of these cotton
stealing transactions, it is <*! im and, will
show that tbe Radical cotton ring has
swindled the government out of about
forty millions of dollars.— Macon T'l.
