WOULD ONLY LOVE A TEMPER¬
ANCE MAN.
She loved him, but she saw him drunk,
Ah ! fearful sight for her to see
And though it broke her heart, she said
That married they could never be,
And other lovers crowded near
To breathe their fond hopes in her ear;
It puzzled me to see her smile
On others while she loved him so,
For none of them were half so brave,
Or handsome, straight and tall as Joe,
I think that that was strange,
Don’t you?
But then they all wore badges blue.
'i'J Joe
went and took the pledge, and sato
. He’d never stain his honor more,
And soon he on his manlv breast
The badge of his redemption wore.
i And when his darling heard of that
Her faithful heart went pit-a-pat.
r; She her
sacked lovers all, and flew
To lay her head against the breast
That wore the blessed badge of blue.
I think that that was sweet,
Don’t you ?
Oh, bonny, bonny badge of blue.
Were I a girl I wouldn’t wed
A man that guzzled rum, would you?
I’d give the chances all to him
Who wore the little badge of blue.
And if he wouldn’t wear it, I
Would pin it on, and tell him why.
’Twould save us both from grief and woe.
And every misery cold and black.
It made another man of Joe,
And now lie’s got the inside track.
I think I’m talking sense,
Don’t you ?
Then wear the bonny badge of blue.
My First Yisit to Portland.
BY SEBA SMITH.
In the fall of the year 1829 I took
it into my head I’d go to Portland. 1
had heard a good deal about Portland,
what a fine place it was, and how the
folks got rich there proper fast; and
that fall there was a couple of new
papers come up to our place from there
called the Portland Courier, and Family
Header, and they told a good many
queer things about Portland, and one
thing and another; and all at once it
popped into my head, and I up and told
father, and says; whether
“I am going to Portland, or
no; and I’ll see what this world is made
of yet,”
Father stared a little at first , and said
he was afraid I would get lost; but
when he see I was bent upon it, he gave
it up and he stepped to his chist and
’ opened the till and took out a dollar,
and gave it to me; and says he:
“Jack, this is all I can do for you; but
' go and lead an honest life, and I believe
. I shall hear good of you yet.”
He turned and walked across the
room, but I could see the tears start
into his eyes. And mother sat down and
had a hearty crying spell.
This made me feel rather bad for
6 minit or two, and I almost had a mind
to give it up; and then again father’s
dream came into my mind, and I mus
tered up- courage and declared I’d go.
So I tackled up the old horse, and
packed in a load of ax-handles, and a
few notions; and mother fried me some
doughnuts, and put ’em into a box,
along with some cheese, and sausages, i
and ropped me didn’t up another shirt, for
told her I know how long I
should be gone. And after I got rigged
out, I went round and bid all the neigh¬
bors good-bye, Portland. and jumped in, and
drove off for
Aunt Sally had been married two or
three years before and moved to Port¬
land; and I inquired round till I found
out where she lived, and went there, and
put the old horse up, and eat some sup
per, and went to bed.
And the next morning I got np, and
straightened Portland right off to see the editor
of the Courier, for I knew by
what I had seen in his paper, that he
was just the man to tell me which way
to steer. And when I come to see him,
I knew I was right; for as soon as I told
him my name, and what I wanted, he
took me by the hand as kind as if he
had been a"brother, and said he :
“Mister,” says he, “I’ll do anything 1
can to assist yon. Yon have come to a
good town; Portland is a healthy, thriv
ag place, and any man with a proper
degree of enterprise may do well here.
Rut,” says he, “stranger,” and he looked
mighty kind of knowing, says he, “if
you want to make ont to your mind, you
must do as the steamboats do. ”
“Well,” says I, “how do they do ?”
for I didn’t know what a steamboat was
anv more than the man in the moon.
‘‘Why,” says he, “they go ahead.
And you must drive about among the
folks 'here, just as though you the were cattle. at
home, on the farm among
Don’t be afraid of any of them, but
figure away, and, I dare say, you’ll get
Into good business in a very little while.
But,” says he, “there’s one thing you
must be careful of ; and that is, not tc
get into the hands of those fire folks thal
trades up round Buckler’s Row, for
there’s some sharpers up there, if they
get hold of you, would twist your eve
teeth out in five mhiits. ”
Well, arter he giv me all the good ad¬
vice he could, I went back to Aunt
Bally’s agin, and got some breakfast;
and then I walked all over the town, to
Bee what chance I could find to sell my
ax-handles and things, and to get into
business. three
After I had walked about or
four hours, I came along toward the
upper end of the town, where I found
there were stores and shops of all sorts
and sizes. And I met a feller, and
Bays I ;
“What place is this?”
“Why this,” says he, “is Huckier’s
“What,” says I “are these the stores
where the traders in Huckier’s Row
keep?”
And says he, “Yes.”
Well, then, says I to myself, I have a
pesky good mind to go in and have a try
with one these chaps, and see if they can
twist my eye-teeth ont. If they can get
the best end of a bargain ont of me, they
can do what there ain’t a man in our
place can do; and I should just like to
know what sort of stuff these ere Port
land chaps are made of. So in I goes
into the best looking store among em.
And I see some bnscuit lying on the shelf,
and says I-
“Mister, how much do you ax apiece
for them ere biscuits ?”
“A cent a piece,” said he.
“Well,” says I, “I shan’t give you
that, but if you’ve a mind to, I’ll give
yon two cents <or three of them, for I
begin to feel a little as though I would
like to take a bite.”
“Well,” says he, “I wouldn’t sell’em
to anvbody else so, but seeing it’s you,
I don’t care if you take ’em.”
I knew he lied, for he never seen me
before in his life. Well, he handed
down the busenits, and I took ’em, and
walked round the store a little while, to
see what else he had to sell. At last
says I:
“Mister, have you got any good
cider ?”
Says be, “yes, as good as ever ye
see.”
“Well,” says I, “what do vou ax a
glass for it ?”
“ Two cents,” says he.
“Well,” saysT, “seems to me I feel
more dry than I do hungry now. Ain’t
you a mind to take these ere biscuits
again, and give me a glasss of cider?”
and says he:
“I don’t care if I do.”
So he took and laid ’em on tb' shelf
again, took and the cider poured and out drinkt a glass it down, oW|der. and
I cider.
to tell the truth, it was capital
Then says I:
“I guess it’s a time for me to be a
going,” and I stepped along toward the
door; but says he:
“Stop, Mister, I believe you haven’t
paid me for the cider.”
“Not paid you for the cider !” says I,
“what do you mean by that ? didn’t
the biscuits* I gave you just come to the
cider ?”
“Oh, ah, right!” says he.
So I started to go again, and says ho:
“But stop, Mister, you didn’t pay me
for the biscuit.”
“What!” says I, “do yon mean to
impose upon me ? do you think I am
going to pay you for the biscuits, and
let you keep* them too and ? A’int what they
there now on your shelf, more
do you want ? I guess, sir, you don’t
whittle mein that way.”
So I turned about and marched off,
and left the feller staring and scratching
his head as though he were struck with
a dunderment.
Howsomever, I didn’t want to cheat
him, only jest to show ’em it wa’n’t so
easy a matter to pull my eye-teotli
out; so I called in next day. and tiaid
him two cents.
A Veteran Fireman.
The present president of the Associa¬
tion of Exempts of New York city is
Zophar Mills. For thirty years he was
private, foreman, assistant engineer or
president of the Fire Department and
one of the most energetic firemen that
city ever had. When the Jennings
building fell, during a fire in Broadway,
more than a quarter of a century ago,
Mills, together with a number of the
firemen, were buried in the ruins. The
spectators stood aghast. Presently they
saw him crawling out of the debris and
heard him yelling to his company, in
a voice like thunder: “Come, men, get
right in here—here’s these men buried
up—get right in,” and he made himself
famous m digging out the wounded. 'As
late as 1864 he discovered a fire on the
roof of a church then in process of erec¬
tion and saved the building. While
looking for a house that he wanted to
buV he saw a light which he knew could
not come from a chimney, and kicking
open the door ascended to the roof, tore
off some burning boards, threw snow on
them and put out the fire. At a fire in
Pearl street he had another narrow es¬
cape. While giving orders to some of
his men he saw tile high gable walls
spread out like a blanket and coming
down. His only chance was to turn his
back and take it. There was no time to
run. He was knocked flat, driven
through the second and first stories into
the cellar and nearly buried in the ruins.
Two other firemen near him were in¬
stantly killed. At the time of the great
fire of 1835 he was the foreman of No.
13, and the thermometer being from
seven to ten degrees below zero, the
only way he kept the machine from
freezing was by rushing the brakes con¬
stantly, whether In order there waB water to fire be

Millions in Barbed Wire.
The manufacture of barbed wire has
made millions for many men. The great
West may be said to be fenced with
barbed wire. The 3,500 miles of fenc¬
ing destroyed by the of barbed cowboys of Texas The
this winter was all wire.
most familiar pattern of this fencing is
is made by twisting two strands of thick
wire so that,at every few feet the pointed
ends of the metal thread project at right
angles with the lengths. During the
civil war and for ten years thereafter
thirty patents were issued for barbed
wire. Before that, plain wire had been
used on the great farms and pastures,
its cheapness rendering it preferable to
any other material. A Worcester man
bought up all the barbed wire patents,
and the firm he established had the pat¬
ents re-issued, and then asserted that this
gave them the control of the principle.
It took them years to get a decision sus¬
taining them, and in the mean time
barbed wire factories sprung up like
mushrooms all over the West. After
the decision, the Worcester men got all
the other makers together and issued
forty licenses to as many firms to con¬
tinue making the wire, each being lim¬
ited to a certain output, obliged to sell
at a certain figure, and compelled to pay
the Worcester men $15 a ton. The lit¬
tle makers were all crushed out. The
monopoly raised the price two cents a
pound and added 310,000,000 to the prof¬
its in half a dozen States.

the brig struck the Gulf Stream. A
strong wind, which had been blowing
from the southeast, turned into a violent
gale. The sea rose high and the waves
broke over the vessel, which labored
terribly. The storm increased in vio
lence, and the gale shifted and came
from, the southwest. The buffeting of
the ^a*ves shitted tae brigs cargo, and
she sprang a leak. The storm was sc
fierce that the pumps could not be
worked with anv effect. At 51 o’clock

struck the brig, throwing on her
beam ends. She foundered shortly
afterward. Capt, Iieed and the cook
sank with her.

swam toward n boat which the waves
had torn loose from the vessel, together
with a spar to which it had been spliced.
The boat was full of water, and would
have sunk but for the spar. The men
climbed into her, and clung to the gun
wales. The waves broke over them
again and again. They had no food,

his head and shoulders above the gun

over his head, and a little while later he
died. His companions, to lighten the
boat, ’ threw his body into the sea. No!
long after the death of tho first mate one>
of the sailors died from exhaustion. His
body had hardly been let over the side
of the boat when another sailor loosened
his grip on the gunwale and fell back
dead. He also was dropped into the
water. Only three remained when night
came. There was no moon or stars. The
flooded boat was tossed high one mo¬

anxietv with my family and friends, 1
came satisfied upon close investigation that
the cause of my sickness was the diseased
condition of my kidneys and liver. At this
time by accident a friend who had similar
symptoms to mine, informed me of the great
improvement in his health by taking Hunts
Remedy, and persuaded me to try it. 1 im¬
mediately commenced taking it, and from
tho first li »ttie h'ganto improve, and its con¬
tinued use affoids very encouraging results.
1 can sleep soundly, walk better, am free
from pains, nnd the severe attacks of head¬
ache irom which I suffered so much have
disappear d, nnl I cheerfully recommend
Hunt’s Remedy for nil purposes which it is
advertised. I will add in closing that my
wife has mel it very successfully for with | ro
venting the attacks of nick headache
which she had been afflicted from youth.
