Attention of Merchants,
GO FEEL WHAT I HAVE FELT,
j^yoqng lady of New York was in
the habit of writing on the subject of
temperance. Her writings were full of
pathos, and evinced such deep emotion
of soul, that a friend accused her of be
ing a maniap on the subject of tem
perance; whereupon she wrote the
following touching Lines:
Go feel what I have felt,
Go bear what I have borne—
Sink "neath a blow a father dealt,
And the cold world’s proud scorn :
Then suffer on from year to year—
Thy soul relief the scorching tear,
Go kneel as I have knelt,
Implore, beseech, and pray—
Strive the besotted heart to melt,
downward course to stay—
Be dashed with, bitter curse aside,
Your prayers burlesqued, your tears defied.
Go weep as I have wept
O’er loved father’s fall—
See every promised blessing swept—
Youth's sweetness turned to gall;
Life’s fading flowers strewed all the wav
That brought me up to woman’s day.
Go see what I have seen,
Behold the strong man bowed—
With gnashing teeth—lips bathed in blood,
And cold and iivid brow ;
Go catch his withering glance and see
There mirrored his soul’s misery.
Go to thy mother’s side.
And her crashed bosotn cheer;
Thine own deep anguish hide ;
Wipe from her cheek the bitter tear :
Mark her worn frame and withered brow—
The gray that streak her dark hair now,
With fading frame and trembling limb ;
And trace the ruin back to him,
Whose plighted faith in early youth
Promised eternal love and truth,
But who, foresown, hath yielded up
That promise to the cup ;
And led her down through love and light,
All that made her promise brighter
And chained her there ’mid want and strife,
That lowly thing—a drunkard’s wife—
And stamped on childhood's brow so mild,
That withering blight, the drunkard’s child.
Go hear, and feel, and see, and know,
All that mv Sonl hath frit and known—
Then look upon the wine cup’s glow ;
See if its beauty can atone—
Think of its flavor you will try,
When all proclaim, ’tis drink, arid die !
Tell me I hate the howl ?—
Hate is a feeble word 1
I loathe—abhor—my very soul
With strong disgust is stirred—
When I see. or hear, or tell
Of that dark beverage of hell.

Little Flynn’s Curse.
BY MARY KYLE DALLAS.
There stands in the city of New
York a yellow’ frame house—once very
trim and decent, doubtless, but now
quite give's over to decay—on the side
of which, painted in great, faded let
ters, one may still rt-ad the words,
“Eben Gough, Bread, Tea at d Fancy
Cake Baker.”
A meaner man than Eben Gough
never lived. He was not one of those
misers who deprive themselves of com
forts in order to hoard money, conse
quently he had not the excuse of being
mad ; but he had never been known
to give a penny to any one, to pay any
workman honestly and squnfely, or
without mulcting him in some way of
a shilling or two. One evening, hav
ing been very busy all day, he sat in
his back room enjoying himself oyer
toast and tea, when his eye caught
sight ot an object that riveted it with
astonishment and horror; a ragged lit
tle figure, bare headed and bare footed
dragging itself along stealthily upon its
very stomach toward a tray of fresh
hot loaves, lifting itself suddenly as it
reached them, snatching one, price
three cents, and dashing away pell-mell.
Mr. Gough now aroused from the stu
por into which the awful spectacle had
first thrown him, ran after as fast as his
fat legs wop.ld parry him, up one street
and down another, across the square,
out upon the street again, and there the
baker caught the little wretch at last,
grabbed him by t he collar, took the hot
loaf from his skeleton hand, and de
manded sternly :
“Well, now, you confounded rascal,
what do you mean by this?”
“I was hungry, please, sir I” whined
the boy; “I was e’en a’most starved, I
was, please, sir! Oh ! oh 1 oh l”
“Stop that now I” said the baker,
clutching him tight; “’twon’t do you
no good. You’re going to the station-
house.”
“Oh, don’t, mister 1” cried the boy ;
“oh, don’t 1”
“Pooh 1 pooh I” said Mr. Gough.—
“I’m not the man to let a thief go.
Come along.”
And Mr. Gough, feeling as a man
who had benefiited the public might,
dragged, the offending morsel of hu
manity, principally qiad, in dirt, along
by the collar with his right haqd, and
with the other, held the rescused.ioaf of
bread out of harm’s way.
Suddenly the little creature stopped
struggling.
“Mister,” he said in a faint voice;
“please, Mister.”
“Well I” said Gough.
“Give us the bread, and I won’t
make no more mu9s. I’ll go as easy—
jest as easy—”
4 ‘Give—you—the—bread!' said the
baker. ...
‘Yes, Mister. If you’re goin’ to lock
mp up fur it. fetpmo hopfe it. I’m aw-
‘fhl hungry.’.‘
‘March on,’ said the baker, in a furi
ous voice. 1
’ ^Please. Mister, I’m that empty I
t feeHikeT’i uie.V-•
l : ‘Go on T said the baker, wub akiek,
if you don’t.’ And after that the cul
prit said nothing. The baker dragged
him to the station-house. When asked
bis nijme he doggedly remained silent
Some one in the crowd gave it at last.
It’s a little Flynn, ehd a boy that’s
needed locking up this long while.’
So they wrote hitn dqwn ‘Flynn,’ and
were dragging him away, when sudden
ly he burst from them, and stood
straight and fierce in the middle of the
court-room, his eyes Hashing fire, his
right fore-finger pointing straight to
ward the baker
‘Curse you!’ he yelled. ‘Curse you!
You’ll starve to death. I hope—you'll
starve to death ; I know you’ll starve
to death ! Curse you
They clutched him and carpied him
off at that point.
‘He’s a bard one,’ said the jailor
coming bqck.
And little Flynn, -crouching on his
cold cell floor, without bed or light, or
any coverirgsave his scanty rag*, mut
tered to himself:
‘When you cusses ’em a dyin,’ it al
ways comes true. Daddysaid so, when
they hung him ’
‘Mr. Gough.’ said a policeman, look
ing in at the baker’s door next morning,
there won’t be any need of your ap
pearing against little Flynn to-day.’
‘Eh ? he’s got off, then ?’ said the ba
ker.
‘Yes,’ said the man, ‘he’s dead.
Found h : m so an hour ago.’
‘DeadF cried the baker.
‘Yes,’said the man; ‘doctor says it
was starvation arid exposure.’
‘O, G d (.less me!’Very dreadful!
very horrible!’ cried the baker, begin
ning to tremble.
Tiie po.hceman departed. The ba
ker went into his back parlor, and sa:
down by the fire. There he remained
for half an lv ur, and only the per
emptory calls of a customer aroused
him at last. This customer afterwards
averred that the expression of his face
was perfectly awful, as he came out be
hind the counter aud served her with
rolls.
‘It’s acoid day,’she said, fur thesakeo(
saving something.
‘Yes,’ said the baker, ‘a sharp a r. It
naturally increases the appetite. Ii
must be that, I think, that m..kes me so
astonishingly hungry.’
‘No doubt,’said the woman, and went
away thinking Mr. Gough crazy, or
going so; for, as she looked hack, she
saw him fly like a starving animal to
ward a pile of hot loaves, and dragging
one toward him, begin to eat ravenous
iy In fact every customer who enter
ed the shop that day saw the same
sight, and heard the same complaint.
And the story of the dead boy having
spread widely by this lime, and the
pubiic mind being easily swerved any
direction, whispers were set afloat that
little Flynn had ‘cursed Baker Gough
hungry,’ and served him right.
Many went to the shop who had
never been there before, to sec the
sight. Tnerc stool the stout baker
devouring his own loaves, swallowing
his plum cuke, making nothing of pie,
and complaining all the while of the
pangs of hunger. Finally he grew so
weak that he reclined upon his couch,
unable to rise, bat still calling for food.
He wasted away until he resembled
nothing so much as a skeleton ; and at
last, one bright spring day, having
swallowed a bowl of soup, and com
plained that it did him. no good what
ever, he quietly turned his face upon
the pillow.
‘It's no use trying any longer,’ he
said. ‘Little Flynn has cursed me to
death. I’ve been starving to death
ever since I took the bread from him.’
Those were the last words that the
baker ever spoke. In five minutes af-
tei: their utterance he was dead.
Of course the sensible thbory is, that
Little Flynn’s curse, and the news of
his death, together with remorse, drove
the man mad; but certain it is, that
after a careful postmortem examination
it was decided that, though the exam
iners themselves had seen the wretched
man consume sufficient nourishment to
satisfy five ordinary gluttons, he had
absolutely died with all the. symptoms
and results of starvation ; and the ver
dict of. a self-appointed coroner’s jury
of neighbors was, ‘cursed to death by
Little Flynn.’-—N. Y. Ledger.
Good Doctrine.—Have ycu ene
mies ? Go straight on and mind them
not. If they block up jour path, walk
around them, regardless of their spite.
A man who has no enemies is seldom
good for anything; he is made of that
kind of material which is 60 easily
worked that everybody has a hand in
it. A sterling character—one who
thinks for himself, and speaks what he
thinks, is always sure to have enemies.
A celebrated character, who was sur
rounded, by enemies, used to remaik :
"They are sparks which, if you'do
not blow, will gp out of themselves.”
Let this.be your feeling, while endeav
oring tp liye down the scandal pf those
who are bitter against you. Ifipyou
stop to dispute, you, do but as they de
sire, and open the way for more abuse.
Let the po r fellow talk—there will be
hut a reaction, if you perform but your
duty, and hundreds who were once
alienated from you, will flock to you
and acknowledge their error.
Babies are the coupons attached to
the bonds of matrimony. The interest
is due at random.
The rich man without benevolence
is a tree without fruit—and the poor
without patience, a lamp without oil.

The Lone Horseman.
It was nearly 5 o’clock, P. M., on
the 30th of August. The great battle
of Manassas was raging with unabated,
terrible fury. Thejast reserves of ei
ther side had been ordered to the front,
and the struggle was stubborn, deadly,
desperate. The Federals were slowly,
sullenly giving way—obstinately dis
puting every inch of ground. Qne un
broken blaze of lurid light sheeted the
interval between the opposing hosts.—
The incessant roll of musketfy, the
ringing clash ot sabres, the piteous
shrieks ot the dying, the grim heca
tombs of the dead, proclaimed the dread
empire of Moloch.
Far into the enemy’s lines, as you
approached from the Gainesville road,
on probably the most advantageous el
evation for military purposes the battle
field afforded, was planted a battery,
supported by five regiments qf U. !S.
Regulars, commanded by Fitz John
Porter. A murderous fire was poured
into the advancing columns of the Con
federates from these awful engines of
destruction—gaping lanes, causewayed
with dead and wounded, marked the
track of their lethal missiles—scores of
brave Squthrons fell at every vollied
utterance. The supporting regiments,
covered by the crest of the hill, watch
ed with pleased anxiety the red carni
val of slaughter.
A Confederate officer—thq only-
mounted one I saw sp far to the front
—observing the frightful carnage the
battery is working, determines to charge
it. With him to will is to do—and do
quickly. He gives the order, and im
mediately may be seen to emerge from
a pine thicket—from whence, after a
spirited fight, they had already driven
in disorder thrice their own numbers—
a single regiment of men, blown by the
hot pursuit, worn with fatigue, and, but
for the unconquerable spirit animating
them, fainting Irom excessive heat, ag
gravated by the sulphurous, thirst of
the battle-field. Is this mere handful
of men, unaided, to charge that frown
ing battery so skillfully posted and so*
strongly supported? Is that solitary
regiment to be hurled against seven
times its own numerical strength, with
every advantage of position, and plight,
and arms, on the opposing side? Are
its thinned ranks to breast the double
fire of artillery and infantry with bayo
nets only and to grapple with the vete
ran Regulars of the Federal army?—
Even so ! ‘‘The Lone Horseman” has
ordered it, and he conducts the ch.af^e.
Riding along the line, he infuses into
every breast the daring resolve which
burns in his own. His heroic example,
is contageous, and inspires the noble
phalanx with that energized unity of
will, of constancy, of coui age, of enthu
siasm, of unselfish devotion which Na
poleon s “Old Guard” exemplified, and
which made it the glory of France and
the terror of Europe. On they rush
toward the belching cannon, defying
numbers, despising danger, courting the
“austere glory of suffering” in Liberty’s
cause ! The base of the hill is reached*
and the perilous ascent began. The
cannoniers, dismayed at the spectacle
of unmatched daring, seek shelter be
hind [the wall of bayonets glistening
like diamonds in the sun behind the
crest. With a shout that makes the
“welkin ring” the intrepid band dash
toward the summit—each emulous of
the honor of reaching the guns first.— :
Within a few paces of the fatal goal,
suddenly five hostile flags, simultane
ously flung defiantly to the breeze, con
front them, while the whole hill side,
as if sown with the fabjed, Dragon’s
teeth, bristles with its crop of armed
men. A tempest of leaden rain pours
upon the devoted ranks, mowing down
in an instant half their number ; still
every man not disabled stands undaunt
ed at his post. Around that “Lone
Horseman” a thousand bullets hail;
but he wears a charmed lifenor ri
der nor steed is harmed.
Just now a batter/ on the right en
filades the Spartan braves with grape
and canister. No reinforcements itr
sight, it were madness to longer stand
in front of and flanked by the terrible
odds, ord^r is given to fall back
to a ravine two hundred yards to the
rear, and there, under partial cover;
make a stand. The ravine reached,
every soldier is at his post, facing the
foe. One well directed fire repulses the.
only attempt to dislodge them, and the
hill-side streams with the commingled .
tide of Federal and Confederate bjoibd.
No eannonier ventures to approach-the
half-captured, half-abandoned' gu«&-
Night finds them still in position, amj.
still uuserved, when, by a' flank mover,
ment on the left, a brigade of Stonewall.
Jackson’s troops captured the battery’
without the lqss of a man. It wasjfeff
20th Georgia Regimentuhnl beat off the.,
foe anul the opportune moment of e^sy .
and bloodless capture. ‘The Lout
Horseman, was that gall&Dt soldier,
distinguished jurist, gioriour patriot, .

Exactly.—‘Clem,’ cried two dispu-?
ting darkies, appealing for decision td
a sable umpire, ‘which word is right-—
d.zactly or dezactly ?’
The sable umpire reflected a mo*

said :
‘I can’t tell perzsactly,’
