Things Here and There.
New York, Dec. 14, ’89.
Editor Timca-Enterpri*e:
A few days since, an elderly lady
came into my office and said she had
seen a pamphlet containing a scries
of letters which l wrote for the
Times-Enter prise, and she wished
to know something more definite
about the advantages of the place as
a winter resort. She had some
thoughts of going to Los Angeles,
Cal. I gave her a picture of Thomas-
ville and its surroundings, told her I
had been to California, and had visit
ed nearly every southern resort, and
that on the whole I preferred Thom-
asvillc to them all. I told her that
the best evidence of the satisfaction to
visitors which Thomasville afforded,
was the fact that for seven or eight
years past T had met large numbers
of the same visitors every year. The
lady concluded that she would go to
Thomasville, provided I would he her
escort, to which I cheerfully consent
ed.
I well remember the first place of
amusement f ever attended. It was
in the town of Georgia, Vermont,
and the amusement was a circus,
was about eight years of age. The
circus was about two miles distant,
and (lie hoys in the neighborhood had
all gone. I ashed my father if I
might go, he said "no,” and with him
that was the end of the matter. But
on this oeeasion he relented. I went
sighing and sobbing to my .task, not
daring to ask a second time. Fina’ly,
my father said, “Do you want to go
verv much? you have no money.”
don’t care for that,” said I, “I can
hear the music.” “Well, go,” said lie,
“and get all the good yon can.”
started, hare, footed, “across hits,”
and if lightning was ever put into a
boys heels, it was put into mine. I
was not long in covering the distance,
All the crowd were inside, and, not
having the 25c for admission, I sat
down on a stone to enjoy the music.
And it was music to my ears! A
whole hand ! Soon the door keeper
saw me, and said, "Boy, come here.
Have you got any money?” "No,
sir,” said I. “Well, you may go in,’
said he, and in I walked, as proud ns
if I had had a gold mine in my
pocket.
I expect to meet that circus man
in heaven, for all good and kindheart-
ed men go there, where I shall not
fail to thank him for his kindness toa
poor, pcnnyless boy. This little inci
dent has actuated me many a timo,
when I have given laughing gas exhi
bitions, with chemical and philosoph
ical experiments, and seen a lot of
ragged little hoys around the door
without a penny in their pockets.
“Go in, take off your caps and keep
still.” The inlltieucc and example of
a good deed.
This is the season of good cheer.
Our streets and stores arc crowded
with ladies making their Christmas
presents. I venture to say that in
the city of New York alone, a million
of dollars is spent in Christmas pics-
ents every year. Every one receives
something, and every one gives
according to their means.
A snow storm has just commenced,

LEARNING A TRADE.
The number of fine rigs on the
streets increases daily, and the faces
of our liverymen grow brighter.
Those that go out after the festive
quail find the dry weather a great
drawback to sport.
That Jackson street crossing at the
depot ought to be put in better shape.
Married a 10-Year-Old Girl.
Memphis, Tens', Dec. 14.—William
H. Bailey and Sallie II. Wallace, of
Waterford, Miss., were married to-day
at Bolivar, Tenn. Both parties arc
wealthy, and an odd legal fight is
promised. The girl is less than ten
years old, wears short dresses and
seems childish in everything save an
unyielding determination to assert her
marital rights. Immediately after the
ceremony both parties were arrested
and are being held in jail. Just what
can or will be done in the premises is
not known.
No verdict in the Cronin case yet.
It may, after all, turn out to be a mis-
trial. This would be unfortunate.

a good painter. Good. Go right in
to the business to win. Having made
up your mind, don’t halt for a mo
ment. Be determined to make the
best painter that ever lived in the
United States.
This may not he an easy matter to
do, but then there is nothing in this
world worth learning that is obtained
without effort. Remember you have
the making of yourself in this matter.
Mother nml father have given you
a good constitution, skillful hands,
capital eyesight and glorious youth—
splendid capital to begin life with.
Just think of it. Here is a big
world all of yourewn, if you choose to
take it, and with your health, youth
and strength to start up will).
Boy, you are a lucky dog, and if
you don’t win and become a tip-top
painter before you are twenty-five
years old, it will he all your own fault.
It’s worth something more than
money to ho. at the top of your trade.
Every one can’t be a good work
man. You can if you only try. It
is no trouble whatever to he a “Botch.’
It is as easy as Being a tramp.
“Botches” often become tramps. Now
you are not going to ho a “Botch.
I sec by the sparkle in your eye that
you don’t admire “Botchcraft.”
That’s right. Bo a man, ami form
a resolution to "learn well and thor
oughly nil about your trade that is
worth learning.” This is (lie wuy to
get at the top of the heap. There is
lots of room for you at the top.
You may get there just as well as
anybody else if you lmt strive. Aim
high, and though you may not bring
down an eagle you may pluck some
of the best feathers.
The best fellow to help you is your
self. Trust him. He will always
stand by you, and if you do him jus
tice, he will prove a good and lasting
friend.
While at work, “work.” You owe
it to yourself to bo industrious and
steady; to your employer to study
his interest, which is, in n measure,
your own. Never idle away a mo
ment that you can place to your
employer’s interestduring work hours.
Read up all that you can pertaining
to your trade.
You will find thiy interesting, and
in time you will rather read concern
ing your trade than of scalping Indians
or wild cowboys.
It won’t hurt you to join the 5’. M.

society rooms will do you good, and
as there is generally a good supply of
books and magazines there, you will
