POETICAL .
THE MONEYLESS MAN.
Is there no place on the face of the earth
Where charity dwolleth, where virtue hath
birth ?
Where bosoms in kindness and mercy will
heave,
And the poor and the wretched shall ask
and receive ?
Ia there no place on earth where a knock
from the poor
Will hring a kind angel to open the door ?
Ah! search the wide world wherever you
can.
There's no open door for the moneyless man.
Go, look in the hall whore the chandelier’s
light
Drives oif from its splendor the darkness of
night;
Where the rich hanging velvet, in shadowy
fold,
Sweeps gracefully down, with its trimming
of gold;
Go look to your judges, in dark flowing
gown.
With the*rtcales wherein law weigheth quiet
ly down;
When he frowns on the weak, and he
smiles on the strong,
And punishes right while he justifies w rong;
Where jurors the r lips 0.1 t:.e Bible have
laid.
To render a vtrdict they’ve already made;
Go there in the eonrt-room and find, if you
can,
Any law for the case of a moneyless man.
Go look in the banks, whore Mammon lias
told
His hundreds and thousands of silver and
gold;
Where, safe from, the bunds of tlie starving
ami poor,
T ies pile upon pile of the glittering ore ;
And mirrors of silver take up and renew
In i«..ug lighted vistas the ’wildering view;
Wpik up to the counter - all, there you may
stay.
'2 ill jour limbs have grown old and your
hair turned gray,
And you’ll find at tin* hank not one of the
clan
\V i.h money to lend to a moneyless man.
Go 1 ok in your church of the cloud reach
ing spire,
Wh cli gives hack to the sun l is same look
of file ;
W hue tiie arches and columns are gorgeous
within,
And the walks su.-ni us pure us a srnd with
out a;
Go down the long asi *, sec the nt h and
the jie.it.
In the pomp a id the pride of their worldly
estate.
Wu.k ujw:i i.: yo.tr »»itched and dud if you

ii oin an Old Fr entl. J
It wis Ntm-Year's Eve. Every store
v» iqieu, from (lie granil j alaec •mpori
uuj» tn tlin n.rrew st.ti.s wliwn pennies
’,v.‘ie treasures.
Out of the busy tliroug who wended
then way through the noisy streets,
there was one with whom tile reader is
asked to take a brisk stroll. He is ata 1
man, past fifty, with curling, non-gray
Jntir, kindly blue eyes, and a face that,
having a grnv.tr resting upon it faabit
udly, can liglit to sunniest brightness
when kimln ss or humor stir the radiant
•miles.
Into the jeweler’s to select a pair of
costly bracelets ; out again to enter a
neighboring toyshop, where a life-size
baby-doii, a rocking horse, baby-house
and sled were only foundations for the
piles of expensive toys that caught his
eyes ; over to the confectioner’s, where
white paper hags multiplied under ills
directions; into a dry-goods store, for an
Indian scarf iiis wife iiad admired a day
or two before, and where dresses for the
servant giris could be selected ; in and
out, busy and happy, piling pockets and
arms, Charles Haughton spent nearly
two hour3 in the heart of Broadway.
Everywhere he met the most prompt
and deferential attention. Hauling
clerks moved with alacrity to fill his or
ders, and courteous cashiers gracefully
accepted his handsome checks. For his
taee was well known ns that of a pros
perous merchant, and his name a as good
for a million dollars. His pretty winsome
wife was a belle in the most aristocratic
pii .;..-s, and ins eluh.reu bad never had a
u.ni't ungratuk/u. dl;s house in Fifth
Avenue was w.H known tor its lavish
hospitmity and the beauty of every ap
pointment, and no handsomer equipages
or more costly horses weie found than
those that carried Mrs. Hanghtou from
and to her home.
Charles Hanghtou had nearly com
plet • bis purchases, and was hurrying
from tiie front of one of the toy store,
he had visited, when his foot struck
something upon the pavement, and |i}ok-
VOL. Y.
ing down he saw a small pocket book. |
He lifted it and looked arouud him for
an owner ; but there was no one who
seemed to miss such an article. There
was no time to examine it, so he thrust
it into his breast pocket and hurried on.
Having completed his arrangements
for the morrow, he went to his library
far a quiet smoke before retiring. He
was pulling slowly, when he recalled the
pocket book he had picked up in the |
street. Thrusting his hand into his :
pocket, he brought it to the light.
It was a very shabby affair, the 1 (either
worn at the corners, the inside ililapida- :
ted, and the fastening a piece of twine. |
“Some poor soul, who could ill afford j
it, has lost this, - ’ the merchant thought, 1
pityingly; “and on New Year’s Eve, j
t'o. It is too bad. Let me se. if there is
any clew to the owner.”
He took out two folded papers, each |
containing a small jum of money, and
each eloquent of the poverty of its own- ;
er. At the sight of the first, Charles j
Haughton started and then sank into a
reveiie painful and sweet at the same
time. The paper was a grocer's bill for
four dollars and eighty-three cents, made
out to Mrs, Edward Hill, and inside was
a five dollar note.
The thoughts of the man who looked
at it ran something in this wise :
“Mr.-.. Edward Hill ! Can that bo Fan
ny Hill—pretty, viarkeyed Fanny, win)
rau away with Nisi Hill because her fa
ther would not give his only child to a
mau who found so much comfort in a j
whiskey bottle. Pretty Fanny ! How j
angry she was w ith me when I tried to j
make her see that he was not the angel or ;
hero she imagined he was. Hhe said 1 j
was jealous. Well, perhaps I was.” |
And the prosperous city merchant went
hack in memory to the days when lit l Was j
a country boy. desperately in luv» wit h ;
tin; minister’s daughter, Fanny Hauler.
He recalled his bitter jealousy of tile gay ;
city fop, Edward Hill, who came to the J
little village and fascinated Fanny by his |
fine dress, his smooth courtesy and airs !
of superiority. He thought, of tin- fa i
tiler’s oppression, his grief and ins ..o ~ j
when holding Charles Houghton's hail . j
in his own, he left hir. forgiveness for the j
willful child, :li mid she ever return. 1
Hhe left a void in the hornet, loving '
heart that was not tilled for many years, j
Restless and lonely, after his disappoint- |
meat in love, Charles Haugluos had j
gladly accepted an otter troni an uncle in ,
New York to serve in a counting house,
and risieg caps;t < tins iy, i.t bis j
uncle’s death, iuher ted his fortune and 1
business, and when past forty Inn ms \
ried a belle of noci. ty, whose love wa
great happiness, ami r.li.is- children were
the idols of their in her'.- heart.
And now, twenty long years after lie
j ii :d seen her face, Fanny's face stirred all
lie old recollections ill his heart.
“ft may not be the sanj«,” h» thought;
; “it. is a common name."
Then he unfolded the xenon 1 paper,
j and here a penciled slip, folded over:.
two-dollar note, explain'd the errand on
! New-Year’s Eve that had nsnlied re the
i loss of the pockefbook. For the pitiful
memorandum ran : Ball for E i ly, 10
...euts ; grapes for Fanny, 25 cents : busli
! el of coal, do cents ; toy for Minnie, 10
! cents ; candle.i, 15 cents ; dinner, etc.,
| il.
“Eddy ! Fanny 1” Charles Hanghtou
thought, “it is Fanny Hill 1 Ah in ■ 1 • he
must be very poor when she calculates so
closely. Let me. look at thegrocer’s bill.
Bread, milk, brown sugar, cheap tea—
everything of the meanest kind and in
smallest quantities. Poor Fanny 1 Little
children, too I Oh, I must find out about
her, and—-let me see. I owe her father
many a kindness, and I am a rich man.
I’ll begin anew year with a payment of
Mr. Hunter's goodness to me if I find it
is his child.”
He opened his pookotbook and, taking
a crisp bank note, folded it ill a paper,
upon which he wrote, “Pauny Hill—
from an old friend,” and put it in the
shabby pocket book. Then lie glanced
at his watch, and whispered : “Only a
1 little after ten. Everything will he open
late to-night, and I can find this grocery
store and make some inquiries.”
Before he left the house he hovered a
few minutes over the collection of toys
in the nursery, selecting a few, and then
hurried on his errand, to find the grocer
just putting up his shutters.
“Cuu you toll me," he asked, “auy
j thing about Mrs, Hill, who deals with
you ?"
The man put down the shutter and
! motioned the questioner into the store.
His round, good-uat.ured face wore a
troubled look, as he asked : “What do
you want to know for? Hlle’s in sore
trouble, every way, and ii it’s bad
“It s not,” was the emphatic reply.
. “I want to do uer . kindness.”
“Poor soul, she needs it. Hhe is very
: poor, with a consumptive daughter dying
by inches, and two little ones. F tve,
she’s buried, sir.”
“S\ here’s her husband ? ’
“Head, sir, the Lord be thanked 1 He
went off three years ago in delirium tre
mens.”
“How does she live ?”
“From hand to mouth, se-.viug by hand
for a tailor’s store, and that is poor pay
now machines are so plentiful. Hhe did
better while her daughter F’aiiuy could
work too, hat now sbu has hor to nurse
and feed. To-night, poor soul, she was
to get ten dollars for some work, aud she
came in here an hour or more ago to tell
me that she had lost the pocketbook and
the money. Her hands were chilled and
it slipped out.”
Charles Haughton looked round the
store, and his eyes brightened as a kind
ly idea came into his mind.
“Yon could fill a large order ?”
“Oh yes, sir.”
“Fill this one for me, aud send it to
the lady's address in the morning. What
is the bill ?”
Never, probably, had so large a sum
for one order passed over the counter, as
the grocer consented in happy excite
ment.
“I’ll send them in,” he said, tukiugthe
money, and I promise you they shall Vie
the best 1 can buy.”
“Will you give me the lady’s address?”
“Three doors above, on the third floor.
You go in at the open door next the
clothing store."
“Goodnight.”
“Good-night, sir, and (sod bless you
for a kind-hearted gentleman.”
It w-as a very narrow door that Charles
Haughton entered, and a narrow flight of
stabs that led him to the third floor.
Quiei reigned in the miserable house, j
and he could hear quite distinctly the
voices of women conversing in the room
he sought. One was broken by sobs ;
the other weak and often interrupted by
a hard, dry cough. The latter voice was ■
saying :
“Don’t cry so mother; some honest i
person may find the money and return ;
it.”
“I can’t advertise it, Fanny—l can’t
even buy a paper to see if it is found.
And I promised the children a piece of
meat and some candy and toys for New-
Year, because we could give .hem no
Christmas gifts. ”
“Was the grocer ungey about Ids lull?”
“No, he was very kind. But there is
tiie landlord coining day after to-mor- i
row for the rent, and not a cent to meet
it, even ii we were not all dead with lulu- i
ger a.-.ii cold. ’
O.uries H i ere eu drew from his pock
et the shabby pocket.book, and knotting
u. fast to tiie string of the package of ;
toys amt dandies lie carried, and put it
before the door of the room.
Fanny’s weak voice greeted him as he
stopped, saving :
“God will provide, mother!"
i A lap, rap at tlie doer startled both
j women, bin the Widow, caudle in, iuouk
i opened it. at once. Nobody greeted her,
i for Charles Hanghtou was hidden be
i hind a curve in the wait, but her foot
■ -truck the bundle and she looked down,
j With a cry of joy that, thrilled tae
I In art of the hidden hsiemii, she lifted il 1

; open, and from he. hidden place the ol
: n.-vrr oo.ud see and recognize her. Hhe
i was very thin and pule, ami her hair was
thickly strewn wjth gray, but it. was the
snaiioiv of the face he hud loved twenty
years before. The open door showed
him the wretched room, the two children
asleep upon a mattress upon the floor,
and the pallid woman upon the bed.
W.th trembling fingers the mother
and daughter untied the pocketbook.
“It is all here Fanny,” the mother
cried, “and a folded paper—‘Fanny Hill,
from an old friend,' and inside ! mil I
awake 1 Mattie ! it can’t be true 1 A luiu
drod-dollar bill 1”
“Mother*!”
“It is here—look ! Now, Fanny, you
shall have a fire at night, a blanket, and
some nourishing food. You will get well,
Fanny !”
And hero happy sobs came too fust
for words. Funny drew her mother into
a close embrace.
“Come, you forgot your bundle,” she
said gently. “Oh, only look ! —Eddy’s
ball—and such a beauty 1 A doll for
Minnie —and a lovely one, too ; a top
aud a tea-set 1 Aud pounds of candy 1”
Then a violent lit of coughing remind
ed the mother of the open door, and
: Charles Hanghtou, shut out in the dark,
j crept softly down the stairs, full of kind
ily resolutions. Before he had reached
j home, several stores had a call from him,
j with orders for the morrow, aud he bent
over his cwn sleeping darlings with a
heart happier for the evening's work.
It was long after midnight when the
widow, still wondering who her ‘old
friend’ could be, lay down to sleep, only
to rise at uuwn hall afraid her happiness
was ail a dream. Before the breakfast
i was over, while Minnie watched her doll
! and Fdd held his bail fust iu his hand,
I the neighbors wondered if the Hills huu
| come into a fortune. For, first of all, a
| toll of coal was dumped into the widow’s
j coal box, with a load of wood for coinpa'
j ny. The grocer sent ill a supply of gro
i cefies that seemed inexhaustible. A dry
| goods wagon brought a pair of warm
olaukets, rolls of cotton and tkumci,
j shawls and a great square of thick, warm
i carpet. A market basket was left with
an enormous goose, oysters, celery, or
anges, grapes, jellies aud other good
things too numerous to mention. And
last of all, a wagon brought a sewing ma
: chine, marked tilye the note, ‘From an
old friend.’

Nobody knew the story, of the old

happier thought in his record of the
j year than the generous act that opened

Hmam, Fakms. Small farms make
near neighbors ; make good roads ; they
make good schools mid churches ; there
is more money made in proportion to the
labor ; loss labor is wanted ; everything
is kept neat; less wages have to be paid
for help; less time is wanted; more rais
ed to the acre, besides it is tilled better;
there is no watching of hired help ; the
mind is not kept in a worry, a stew, a
or frost, or small prices,
fret, all the time. There is no tso
much fear of a drought of the weather,
There’s not so much money to be paid
out for agricultural implements. Our
wives and children have time to read aud
improve their minds. A small horse is
soon curried—anil work on a small farm
is always pushed forward in season.
Give us small fauns for comfort—aye,
give us - small farms for profit.
If times are hard stop your paper, but
do not shorten your allowaiic, .-, for whis
key and tobacco. A good paper in a
family is a great comfort to the wife and
children, and the source of great inform
tiou and improvement; but that is no
reason why you should provide them
with a weekly luxury at tiie expense of a
daily necessity.
