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.

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 snyi g ; I “i- iitiny 1 F.i- l ey ..:..i re ! ’ “four tiiii.i y, lootin';- j “The pockeibouk—tiedbundle!” i 1,1 her exeilemeu', siit’ o tile door ; 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.’ THOMSON, GA.

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.
