A DAY DREAM.
TIV TURODOHE CARPENTER.
In s long-forgotten pocket,
Tied up with a silken band,
I found it: only a letter,
Traced in a girlish hand.
I read it over and over,
All, me ! ns I did before,
In the days that were full of sunlight—
The days that are no more.
Se
I dreamed of a golden Summer,
Far back in a joyous time,
When every day was a poem,
And every hour a rhyme.
Therq came a fragrance of roses,
And lilacs and mignonette,
And a sound of sylvan music,
And the eyes that are with me yet.
A flood of purple sunset,
In scintillant glory came,
Till the deep old forests kindled,
And burned like a fluid of flame,
There came a girlish figure,
With billows of floating hair,
And she bent her face above me—
An angel over my chair.
I saw it all in a moment.
While I held the crumpled sheet;
And then, as the vision faded,
The long, gray city street,
With its hateful ru*h and clamor,
Came back to my weary eyes:
At , slill the fruitless struggle!
Ah, still the worthless prize!
SEEKING A SERVANT.
My wife is a delicate little woman.
She was esteemed a groat beauty when
I married her. Her mother told me
that, if I would preserve the roses in
her checks I must be very tcuderof her,
and shield her from too much care.—
For that reason I have always advocat
ed the dismissal of servants who were
not absolutely perfect. One morning,
last week, Jane omitted to put large
spoons on the table, and the cruets were
entirely empty. I took the matter in
hand, as a good, kind, thoughtful, con
siderate husband .should, and spoke
sharply to the girl. She undertook to
answer me back, and I sent her straight
out of the house.
.“That’s the way to do it,” I said.—
“If one girl doesn’t suit, try another.”
“But, my dear, Jane was a good ser
vant in most respects.”
“That is what you say of them all. I
tell you, and have told you repeatedly,
that it is just as easy to get those who
are right altogether. You are too geu
tle a mistress and your servants impose
upon you. If I had the charge of the
house they would have to toe the mark.
I am tired of seeing you so overshadow
ed with household affairs. Even now
wriukles are settling in your forehead,
as if you were forty-five instead of
twenty-seven.”
“Ah ! the wrinkles date far back of
Jane's forgetfulness. I am not sure
but they have been produced by the
frequency of my visits to intelligence I
offices. I thought, the last time I went |
to one, that niy hair would turn white!
before I got away.”
“Why don’t you follow up some of
those girls who advertise in the Herald?
My mother used to, and was successful.”
‘I have. I got Della from an adver
tisement—the one who sat down on the
baby, thinking he was the rag-bag—and
Alice, who stole all my best towels, and
Julia, who would take her beaux into
the parlor every time wo were out in
the eveuing, and I don't know how
many more. 1 have come to the con
clusion, that when a servant is ueat and
honest, it is best to overlook trifling
shortcomings. If my husband was just
a little more patient, I think I could
manage very well. lam worn out with
servautdmnting.”
“Servant-hunting! I should think it
would be a pleasure. I can’t imagine
anything so very dreadful about it.”
“Suppose you try it? I really do
not feel well enough to make the effort;
I rather do my owu work for a month. 1 ’
My wife did not usually speak with
so much carnestnoss, and it surprised

mo. Besides, she looked palo and*
j said before, I am a model of a husband.
( It was a pleasant morning. I had
enough to do; but then I might as well
be hindered half an hour to oblige my
W’fe as to waste so much timo smoking
after lunch.
“I will, darling. Lie down and rest
yourself, or read the pnpers. Take no
thought about the matter; and row,
good morning.”
I kissed her, and went on my way. I
bought a Herald at a stand on the corner.
Glancing at the listof ‘situations wanted,’
I smiled at the absurd idea of putting up
with incompetent servants when such an
army was in the field. I selected two
numbers, which I thought would suit.
They each contained thro* figures, a.)d
of course, were some distance away
across the avenues. It was not an in
viting-looking neighborhood, and the
building into which I entered was far
from prepossessing. I knocked at the
first door on the first floor. A fat red
faccd woman left the wash-tub and
opened it.
“Did a girl advertise from here for a
place, this morning ?”
“Not as I knows on. Maybe it is in
the back room.”
I knocked at tbe next door. It was
opened by a little girl of nine or ten,
barefooted and ragged, and her mouth
full of baked potato. Four other chil
dren, of Various sizes, came running to
look at me.
“Is your mother in ?” I inquired.
“No.”
“Is there a grl here who wants a
place ?”
“No.”
“Do you know whether there is one
in the building ?”
“No.”
“Maybe it is upstairs!” screamed an
old crone from a bed in the corner of
the room, as I took out the Herald to
sec if I had not mistaken the number. I
ascended a narrow staircase, and passed
along a dark, gloomy corridor. I knock
ed at the door, and repeated my inqui
ries to a yellow. sickly-looking woman,
with a babe in her arms. She knew
nothing of any such advertisement, but
it might be in the next room.
At the next room they thought that
perhaps it was up stairs. So I was
handed along from one to another until
I reached the fifth floor. There I gained
the extraordinary information that it
might be in the back yard. Reaching
the ground-floor in safety, I proceeded
to the rear, where there was a three
story house on the same lot, with the
space of only about ten feet between. An
old man sat on the pavement smoking
“llow many families are there in the
building?” I asked.
* He cogitated a moment or two before
he replied :
“Twelve, sir.’*
It was true! The hall ran through
the centre of the building, making four
rooms on each floor, and each room con
tained a family. I visited every room
before I found the one the girl had ad
vertised from. It was the most respect
able looking one of the lot, and the oc
cupant was a young, well-dressed woman.
My spirits rose like foam and went down
as quickly. The girl herself had not
come yet. She lived in Brooklyn.
I wheeled very abruptly and hurried
to the sidewalk. Ugly words rose to
my lips, but I did not speak them. I
wondered if Effie had ever visited such
an abode. Taking out the Herald again
I read :
“No. 333 West street—a yonug
girl who understands her business, and
is neat and obliging,”
It was only two blocks off. This
time I was fortunate enough to hit the
right room at the first kuoek. The girl
herself opened the door. Her manner
was a little forbidding. I fancy she
belonged to the snapping-turtle order.
Nothing daunted, however, I explained
i my business.
TWO DOLLARS A YEAR, IN ADVANCE.
“How many bo’s there in your family,
sir?” she asked, ns she surveyed me
from Iliad to foot. I dress well ns a
general rule ; but it was a jvindy day,
and I was in a pnrr of the city whore
the streets were not watered. Conse
quently the damsel before me could not
make up her mind on the instant whether
I would answer for a master or not. I
gave her the number she would be ex
pected to serve.
“Do there boa carpet on the girls’
room ?”
“Yes. Now please inform mo if you
know how to take care of the whole
upper part of the house ami dining
room, and will do it well ?”
“Do there be any fires to make ?”
“One or two, I think.”
“I guess the place wouldn’t suit me.
Never make fires, iioys always do them
where I lives.”
I was again afloat. I.didn’t fold aud
put my newspaper into my pocket any
more. I read as I walked. According
to my printed information, the most de
sirable person for me to vi it was “a
smart, capable, willing girl,’’ iu the
neighborhood of Second Avenue. Quite
a stretch from the western part of the
city, but I went.' It was a five story
house again. I gave a boy a quarter to
run up stairs and make inq dries for me,
and lie never came back to report. Near
the third landing I found the maiden.
She was staying with a friend, in a little
room twelve by fourteen. The ‘friend 1
was a dealer in old clothes, and was just
sorting over a cargo. The smart, capable,
willing girl, had seen full sixty-five sum
mers, and her hair was as snow. She
was sitting with her feet in a pail of
water, trying to cure corns, .-be said.—
I left.
I was getting slightly out. of temper
when I reached the sidewalk. A dog
harnessed into a small cart obstructed
thc'way. I raised my foot and removed
the whole establishment, into the sireet.
After that I felt better. Turning for
comfort again to the Herald , I found
situations wanted’ by several in that
vicinity; and I rendered unto all the
light of my countenance. One girl had
just ‘engaged.’ Another did not like to
go where they did not keep a ‘full set
of help.’ A third seemed qualified for
our purpose, but her cousin was dead,
and she could not come for a week.—
The fourth didn’t like our location. The
fifth made very pointed inquiries about
the number of girls wo had during the
year, and then declined engaging where
they changed help so often. The sixth
didn’t ever uegoshuuate’ with a gentle
man; the madntne must come herself.
The seventh wanted too many privileges,
and had lost her front teeth. The eighth
asked my name and place of business,
but having never heard of me before,
very dryly remarked that she ‘only lived
with the first families.’ The ninth was
a fair-haired, blue-eyed German, who
was not ouly willing but exceedingly
anxious to undertake anything. She
promised to go to my wife in the course
of an hour; and I, thoroughly disgust
ed with this world, and particularly
with the portion of it w icli I had just
explored, looked at my watch and found
it was two o’clock p. in.
When I reached home at the usual
dinner hour, Effie met me, smiling.
“Did the uew girl come ?” I inquired.
“No, I haven’t seen any.”
I did uot give vent to pent-up emo
tions, I only played the sympathizing
husband, and, somewhat crestfallen,
started on another tour of the same
nature the next morning.
Without confessing it to Effie, I de
termined to save time and steps and try
the intelligence office. A polite clerk
at the entrance stopped me and regis
tered my name, then I passed into the
main room. A clerk sitting by a table
gave mo a card. I was to take a seat
correspondingly numbered. The room
was filled with ladies talking to servants,
and all sorts of persons hurrying hither
nnd thither. A clerk .“poke through a
tube nnd called for a chambermaid and
waitress for number twelve. In the
i course of ten minutes a tall, greasy
i looking Irish girl came toward me.
“If you are sent to speak to me,” I
said, “go back and tell them you won’t
! suit. Lot another come as quickly as
possible.”
Instead of obeying, she dropped into
a chair near bv.
►
“Won't suit, ch ! What ails me ?”
“You arc not neatly clad.”
“Oh, that stall on my dress is nothing;
it will come out with a little sponging—”
I stalked the room, and advised the
young man in attendance to send a de- .
cent girl to me in short order. I con
ferred with six beforo I gave* my ad
dress and sent one to my wife. The
little performance occupied an hour and
a half, and my office work crowded me
the rest of the (Jay. I dined down town.
Having lost my key, I rung the bell of
my own door about half past nine. The
discarded Jane admitted me.
“Effie, how is this?” I asked, before
taking a chair.
“Oh, nothing extraordinary. The girl !
you sent came She seemed perfectly
satisfied with the place, but in the course
of half an hour we heard the lower door
slam, and saw her running down street.
Towards evening Jane came for money,
and not having enough by me,l detained
her until you should come in. She went
to work of her own accord, lias put the
house in order, and assisted ine in every
way possible.”
“Keep her if she will stay. I will
agree never to complain even of hair
pins in the gravy. A dish-cloth or two j
in the pudding will be a trifling griev
ance compared with what I have been
through during tlie last six-and-thirty
hours. And, Effie, say to your lady
friends that if their husbands are too
exacting in little things, and meddle in
domestic matters where it would be more
sen ible for them to mind their own busi
ness, you know of a remedy.”
I have always been a model ; I am
now one of the most decile of husbands.
And it pays. Effie looks five years
younger, and the servants no longer
creep round the house in constant fear
of making discoveries to their disadvan- 1
tage. A few words of well-timed com- ;
mendation has cured .Tanc of her chief .
fault, and, since I have seriou-ly thought
about it, I believe her to be an excellent
servant.— Appletonh Journal.
What unconscious tribute we pay to
the doctrine of the resurrection by-the
love and honor in which we hold graves,
century after century. Surely in our i
hearts we believe that each such spot !
becomes forever unlike all other ground ; |
by whatever process the dear flesh crum- 1
bles, returns to dust, and is changed in
to the leaf, flower and seed that perish,
in our hearts wo believe that the grave 1
remains a grave, ami that at least this 1
much is sure: That the happy, soaring,
growing spirit which has gone on in the :
worlds will never forget where the tiny !
spot is on this one in which its human
body was laid.
The Poston Journal of Chemistry
gives the following receipt for that
beautiful and instructive parlor experi
ment known as imitation frost-crystals:
Dissolve four hundred and fifty grains
of uitrate of lead in six fluid ounces of
water. If the solution is turbi'l, filter
through paper. Place the solution con
tained in a glass vessel on the table
where it is intended to remain, and drop
into it two hundred grains of sal-ammo
niac—chloride of ammonium—in long
fibrous chrystnls. Soon small chrystals
of chloride of lead will form, and as
cend through thedeneeror liquid,presen
ting the appearance of an ascendiny snow
storm. When the lead is all precipita
ted, the chrystals will begin to descend
a.s a genuine miniature snnw-storui,
forming grotesque masses resembling a
winter’s land-scape. If the vessel con
taining the chrystals is not disturbed it
often preserves its beauty for weeks.

A Father's Anvirw to a Brtdh,—-
, Said a young husband whose business
! speculations were unsuccessful ? “My.
wife’s silver tea set, the bridal gift of a
rich uncle, doomed me to financial ruin.
It involved a hundred unexpected ex
| penses, which, in trying to meet, have
made me tiie bankrupt I nm.” His is
j the experience of many others, who,
less wise, do not know what, is the gob
lin of the house, working its destruction,
A sagacious father of great wealth, ex
ceedingly mortified his daughter by
ordering it to be printed on her wedding
cards, “No presents, except those adapt
ed to an income of §1,000.” Said bo,
“you must not expect to begin life in
the style I am able by many years of
labor to indulge; and I know of noth
ing which will tempt you to try, more
than the well-intentioned but perni
cious gifts of rich friends.” Such advice
is timely. If other parents would fol
low the samo plan, many young men
would bo spared years of incessant toil
and anxiety; they would not find them
selves on the downward road because
their wives had worn all of their salary
or expended it on the appointments of
the house. The fate of the peer man
who found a linchpin and felt obliged
to make a carriage to fit it, is the fate
of the husband who find} his bride in
possession of gold nnd silver valuables,
and no large income to support the
owner’s gold and silver in stylo.
One Thousand Shots a Minute.—
Ycslorday, at Holskiea machine shop,
corner of Olierrv and Jefferson streets,
a trial was made of anew mitrailleur,
invented by Mr. J. P. Taylor, of Ten
nessee. This most destructive imple
ment of modern warfare has quite a
number of novel features, wbioh distin
guish it from the Gatlin or Imperial
mitraillcurg. One important one is
that the gun-barrels are in a water cas
ing, so that the heating of the barrels is
impossible. The other is that the
twenty-four barrels, starting at the
breech in a circle, at their muzzles, are
grouped in an eclipse. By this means,
a lateral or horizontal range is given,
instead of one in which other guus of a
similar character throw the projectiles
up and down, at right angles with the
ground. The device for loading is also
exceedingly novel. It is self charging
something like the Henry rifle. Metal
ic cartridges are placed in hollow tubes,
which are fed up to the chambers by
the motion of a lever.
A most ingenious device is U3ed for
firing, and on moving the crank and ad
justing a simple mechanism, the mitrail
leurmay cither be 'used to discharge
its load en fusillade , the twenty-four
shots going off one after the other, or
the whole may be fired at once. It has
four chambers, each one of which can
be put instantly in position, fitted and
cleared of its cartidges. ’ In the fusil
lade firing, as exhibited yesterday, it
discharged about 700 rounds a minute;
when fired in volley about 1,000. The
caliber ef cartridge used was 44, and
at a distance of 300 yards the lateral
range spread the balls about 35 feet to
the right and left of a given center. It
is intended for the Vienna Exhibition.
For use against cavalry aad infantry it
would b 't terrible arm, and it
has excited groat interest among our
own artillery officer®. — N. Y. Times,
