Dear God, 1 am so weary of it ail,
I fain would rest me for a little space.
Is there no great rock where the shadows fall.
Where I may cast me dewu and hide my
face?
I work and strive, sore burdened and afraid ;
The road is flinty and the way is long,
And the weak staff whereby my steps are
staid
Bends like a reed when bitter winds are
strong.

The Urakeimn Who Went to
~ Church.
This is from the Burlington (Iowa) Hawk
eye, and must be trnr—'o some extent :
To me comes the brakenr in, and sitting
himself on the arm of the seat, says : ‘ I went
to church yesterday
••Yes?’’ 1 said, with that interested in
fection that asks lor more. “And what
church did you attend ?”
‘•Which do you guess?’’ he asked.
“Some union mission church ?’’ I hazarded.
“Naw,” he said. “I don’t like to run on
these branch roads very much, and when 1
do I want to run on the muin line, where
your run is legular and you go on a sched
uie time, and don’t have to wait on connec
tions. 1 don’t like to run on a branch. Good
enough, hut I doc’t like it.”
“Episcopal?” I gue-aed.
“Limited express,” he said, ‘‘all palace
cars and $2 extra for a seal ; fast time and
only stop at the big stations. Nice line, but
too exhaustive for a brakeiuan. All train
men in uniform, conductor’s punch and lan
tern silver plated, und no train boys allowed
Then the passengers are allowed to talk
back at -the conductor ; and it mak s them
too tree and easy. No, 1 couldn’t stand the
paluce cars. Rii h road, though. Don’t
often hear of a receiver being appointed for
that line. Some mighty nice people travel
on it, too.”
•Uuiversnlist ? ’ I suggested.
“ Broad-guage,” said the brakernan., “does
too much complimentary business. Every
body truvels on a pass. Conductor doesn’t
get a fare once in fifty miles. Slops at ail
fli.g stations, and won’t run into anything
but u union depot. No smoking ear on the
train. Train orders are vague, though. aDd the
trainmen don’t get along well with the pas
sengers. No, I don’t go to the Universal
i»t, though I kuow some awlolly good men
who run on the road ”
“Presbyterian ?” I asked.
“Narrow gauge, eb ?” said the brakernan.
••Pretty track, straight as a rule ; tunnel
right through a mountain, rather than go
’round it ; spirit level grade; passengers
have to show their tickets before they get
on the train. Mighty straight road, but the
cars are a little narrow ; have to sit one in
a seat, and no room in the aisle to dance.
Theo there’s no stop-over tickets allowed ;
got to go straight through to the station
You’re ticketed for, or you can’t get on at
all. When the car’s full, no extra coaches ;
cars built at the shops to hold just so many,
and nobody else allowed on. But you dou’t
often bear of an accident on the road. It’s
tun right np to the rules.”
“Maybe you joined the free-thinkers?” 1
said.
“Scrub road,” said the br feemin ; “dirt
road bed and no ballast ; no time-card, and
no train dispatches. All trains run wild.
Hnd every engineer mnkps his own time, just
as be pleases. Smoke if you want to ; kind
of a go-as-you-please road. Too many side
tracks, and every switch wide open all the
time, with the switchman soon I asleep aßd
the target lamp dead out. Get on as you
please, and get off when yon want to. Don’t
have to show yoor tickets, and the conduc
tor isn't expected to do anything but to
amuse the passengers. No, sir, I was oflered
a pass, hat I don’t like the line. I don’t
like to travel on a line that has no terminus.
Do you know, sir, I asked a division super
intendent where that road runs to, aod he
said he hoped to die if he knew. I asked
him if the general superintendent could tell
me. aod be said he didn’t believe they bad a
general superintendent, and if they had, be
didn’t know any more about the road than
the passenger*. I ask d him who he re
ported to, and be said ‘Dobody.’ I asked a
conductor who be got bis orders from, and
he said be didn't take orders from any liv'mg
man or dead ghost.”
“Did you try the Methodist ?” I said.
“Now you’re shouting,” be said, with
enthusiasm. “Nice road, eh ? Fast time
and plenty of passengers Engineers carry
a power of steam, and don’t you forget it ;

all the time. Live road ; when the conduc
tor shouts ‘all aboard,’ you can hear him to
the next station. Every train lamp shines
like a head-ligh*. Slop-over checks given
on all through tickets ; passengers can drop
off the train as often as he likes, do the
station two or three days and hop on the
next revival train that comes thundering
along. Good, whole-sonled, companionable
conductors ; ain’t a road in the country
where the passengers feel more at home. No
ftee ia-9engers; every passenger pays full
traffic rates for his ticket. Wesleyan house
air brake on all trains, too ; pretty safe road,
but I didn’t ride over it yesterday.”
“Maybe you went to the Congregational
church? ’ I asked.
“Popular road,” said the brakernan, “8n
old road, too. one of the very oldest in this
country. Good road bed >ml comfortable
cars Well managed road, too ; directors
don’t interfere with division superintendents
and train orders. Road's mighty popul ir,
but it’s pretty independent, too. See, didn't
one of the division superintendents down
east discontinue one of the oldest stations
on this line two or three years ago? But it’s
a mighty pleasant road to travel on.
Always has such a splendid cluss of passen
gers.”
“Perhaps you tried the Baptist ?” I
guessed once more.
“Ah, ha !” Slid the brakemm, “she’s a
daisy, isn’t she 1 River road ; beautiful
curves; sweep arotlnd flbything to keep
close to the river; bat it’s all steel rail and
rock ballast, single track all the way, and
not a side track fiom the round house to the
terminus. Takes a heap of water to run her
through ; double tanks at every station, and
there isn’t an engine in the shops tbal can
puli a pound or ran a mile in less than two
gauges. But it runs through a lovely couti
try ; these river rOads always do ; river on
one side und hills on the other, and it’s a
steady climb up the grade all ihe way till
the run ends where the fountain-head of the
river begins. Yes, sir, I’ll tukc the river
road every time for a lovely trip, sure con
mctioDS and good time, and no prairie dust
blowing in at the windows. And yesterday
when the conductor came a-oond for the
tickets with a little basket punch, I didu’i
a.-k him to pass me, but 1 paid my fare like
u little man—twenty-five cents for uu hour’s
run, ami u little concert by the passenge rs
throwed in. I tell you, Pilgrim, you take
the river road when you want—”
But j nst here the long whist ie from the
engine announced a station, and the brake
man hurried to the door, shouting :
“Zionsville! This train makes no stops be
tween here and Indianapolis !”
Contentment.
Be contented, my son. You need not be
satisfi'd with what you are ; you don’t want
to live without ambition; so long as yon
live strive to be something better, aod higher
and stronger to-morrow than jou are to day.
but don’t worry; don’t fret. Wear your
ready mule clothes with the air of a prince,
until you can do better ; eat your twenty
fire cent dinner with the manner of a man
who is accustomed to fare sumptuously every
ilay on coarse d oners, and I kes this sort of
a thing for a change. Keep sunshine in
your heart and it will shine in your face.
The world is always grateful to a sunny-tem
pr-red man, just because be is good enough
aod gracious enough to live io it. Laugh,
my son, if your stomach is so empty that you
cannot tell whether the pain is in your liv
er or your back-bone ; wear yonr hat jaunt
ily if it Uso full of holes that yon can’t see
the grease and weather stains that cover it ;
speak cheerily, though you have to wear
your overcoat every time your shirt has to
go to the laundry. It won’t be an easy
thing to do right a long ; the days will come
when a good indulgence in the‘•bines’* would
seem like a parad se ; there will be hours
when you wouid rather growl and wail than
look pleasaut ; there wdl be times when ic
spite of your strength and manhood and res
olutions you go away by yourself and groan
and bury your faee m your bands and cry
like a girl. I know it, my son. But don’t
make a habit ol it, and don’t let any one see
you do it. It is a dangerous luxury, and
should only be indulged to at very long in
tervals and on rare occasions. Cultivate
contentment; if you have no gloves, put
your bands iu your pockets ;if yoar coat is
out at the elbows, back up against the fence ;
if you have no hat you will Dover become
bald. And when prosperity comes—not if,
bot wb“n—you will be prouder of your good
nature in the dark days of adversity, my son,
than you can be of all the honors, aod all
the fame and position that prosperity aod
success can bring yoa. Never worry, my
son, don’t fre*; it will make your face thin
John Smith, T.
I see from the papers that a discussion is
going on touching the life and character of
the ce'ebrated John Smith, T., or, a® he was
generally known, Jack Smith, T. He was a
very conspicuous personage in early days,
and bad the reputation of being blood-thirs*
y and dangerous I derived the most of mv
information concerning him from Mtoouri
miners who had gone to the Galena mines in
eurlv times. I had heard so much about
him that I availed myself of the first oppor
tunity to make his personal acquaintance.
This happened in the fall of 1834. I was
returning home from Kentucky, where I lad
spent the spring and summer of that year,
The boat on which l was traveling touched
at Cairo, and Smith and his negro servant
came on board, going to Selma They were
both armed to the lePtb, io fact, loaded down
with rifles, pistols and bowie knives, and
Smith carried a gun which resembled a
huge walking cane. The cabin, in those
days, od steamers, was on the lower deck,
and as soon ns it was known that Smith was
on board a hurried consultation took place
among the cabin passengers in which they
ile'ermined to make common cause, if any
diffii ulty occurred between thm und Smith.
I did not enter into the arrangement, as I
had great desire to converse with him. lie
seemed to discover at a glance that they
looked at him askance. As soon as the boat
started he pushed through to the guard be
hind the wheel house, which was surrounded
by a railing and was a pleasant place to
stand or sit and view the scenery. I followed
tiim in a few moments and tried to engage
him in conversation. He at first seemed to
regard me with suspicion, but finally became
quite cord al and conimnuicntive, and soon
remarked upon the manner of the passen
gers. I told him they regarded him as a
dangerous man and as having killed a great
many persons. He replied that he had ;
that circumstances had thrown him into the
society of'lie most desperate and lawless
men in the woild and that he was obliged to
fight his way through, and in doing so he
had endeavored never to allow anyone to
get the advantage of him; but, mid he. very
emphatically, “I assure you, sir, that I nev
er killed a man without being aide to lay
my b ind npon my heart and declare most
sincerely before God that I was fully justi
fied.”
I wished to engage him in convocation
in reference to his difficulty with Gen
Jackson. He said that affair grew out of
the circumstance of his contemplated entrv
of some lands in Arkansas, upon which, I
think, he said there were medicinal springs.
He applied to the Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office to enter them, ami was in
formed by him that the lands were with
drawn from sale. He further inquired at
whose instance this wjs done, and was advis
ed that it was at the suggestion of Gen.
Jackson. Smith said that Jackson knew of
his intention to enter the land ; thHt it had
been communicated to him in confidence ;
whereupon he sent a challenge to the Gen
eral, who paid no attention to it, but pre
pared him-elf for a street encounter. Smith
having gone to Nashville in the meantime.
One Sunday morning, when Jack“oi) was
dismounting from his horse at the church
door, in the midst of a crowd, one of bis pis
tols went off, to the great consternation of
the assemblage. Jackson was greatly en
raged, and mounted his horse and swore by
the Eternal that be would kill Smith, who
hearing of the threat left town. I asked
him why, if he hod gone to Nashville to
have a fight with Jackson he left when he
beard that be was seeking him. Smith said :
“I wanted a fair fight with Jackson, but I
knew after what bad happened that be
would be upon me with bis myrmidons.”
The matter ended here, but Smith said that
he afterwards expected to be engaged io an
affair in which Jackson would be ooncerned.
He said he had some iuiportaat business to
transact which required him to travel
through a section ol country in which Jack
sou’s army waa encamped, (whether it was
for the Creek or Seminole war I don’t re
member), but be said he was giving the eo
campment as wide a birth as possible.
While riding along a bridle path io the piny
woods some two or three miles from where
the array lay, be observed a mao ahead of
him with his shirt sleeves rolled up, and a
pistol in his hand. He instantly imagined
that Geo. Jackson had got wind of big be
ing on the road, and that the roan he saw
was one of bis emissaries Bent out to kill
him. He prepared himself accordingly, and
upon getting a little nearer he discovered
that it wa.- his friend Carroll, who he ketw
was unfriendly to Jackson. He immediate
ly rode up and was warmly greeted by Car
roll, who informed him that be was tbeu
practicing pistol ah"- 1 -- -£Ur../.ii.v-LW
- 1
office of Colonel of one of the regiments at
the encampment, and that Gen. Jackson
wa® taking an underhand advantage of him
in favor of Coflee, end that if he was beaten
it would be through Jackson’s influence, and
he had arranged to challenge Coffee, and a
man named Douglas* was to challenge Jack
son, and he desired Smith to challenge some
other min (I don’t remember his name).
Smith said he entered into the arrangement
and got down, and Carroll shot with his pis
tols, which were manufactured by his negro
man, and he made splendid shots with them.
He cut the string which wns the mark. It
was agreed that he (Carroll) was to have
one of his pidnU to u*e, if the duels came
off; but the whole thing fel* to the ground,
as Carroll was elected.
I asked Smith about the man Douginas, of
whom I had never before heard. Ht said
he belonged to the Douglass family of Scot -
hi d, and was a descendant of the celebrated
Black D mgla®*. Ho also stated that he
thought he was the bravest man he ever
knew, and that he did not believe that D >ug
lass ever saw the time when he would tarn
on h's heel to save his life, if duty or honor
prompted him. I asked him what he thought
of Jackson’s courage, lie said if Jarksou
was not excited he wa9 n >1 destitute of pru
dence, but, suid he, if yon excite him nnd
this earth was a magazine of gunpowder, he
would hurl n firebrand into it and blow it to

Poverty and Marriage.
It has been said of the late Pater Gwelet.
who. like all bachelors, particularly when
rich, wns frequently urged to take a wife,
that he was wont to reply to his pragm itical
badgerers that, in the first place, he did not
want to marry, and that, secondly, he could
not afford to. The former reason, though
the best in the world, is, strange to say, sel
dom regarded as even a tolerable reason.
I he latter statement must have been deemed
jocular, inasmuch ns the possession of an
estate ol S2O 000 000 to $25 000.000 would
be thought sufficient financial equipment for
matrimony, even with ull the m idem im
provements. But, in moat cases, such a
response would be a very wise and a very
strong argument, too, against wedlock. A
great many men marry who have not the
means to wurrunt them in taking the step,
and regret it, conaequent'y, all their life long.
It is the habit of a number of match-makers
and pro-connubialists, generally women, to
scout the idea Ihut any man is tuo poor to
bo a husband, ar.d, in due season, a father.
They huve a deal to say about the ability of
two —the two are apt to become four or five,
or more—to live as cheaply as one, wffich
is, in general, obviousiy lalse, as they must
know. There are at this moment thousands
of couples in the city have had, and
still have, a hard, continual dreary, hopeh ss
struggle, because they believed in that mis
chievous fallacy. Luxuries are not, it is
needless to say, essentia! to matrimonial con
tentment ; but a certain amount of money
is essential—sufficient to be at least respect
able. Neither man nor woman of any sen
sibility can be at peace if they are cease
lessly occupied with the question of how
they shall get on, with carping thoughts of
dollars snd cents. Sordid anxieties will in
tim° wear them oat physically and mentally,
and the mass of husbands and fathers are
doomet to be tormented by them to tbeir

it so much —$1,000 or $1,200 would doubt
leas be nearer the mark—and, with that
amount, they will be lucky if they keep out
of debt. M“at of them are on salaries —
comparatively few men can push their own
fortunes in any w#~ —and, if they are thrown
out of a situation, as they are liable to be.
they are in a desperate strait. A man alone
io the world can manage to tumble oi crawl
over rough places somehow, but as a husband
aod father, the rough places tax his patience
to the utmost Marriage is in some sense a
luxury—it certainly is not a necessity—sod
they who feel that they cannot afford it
should wait until they can. If they shonld
wait, they might find that they never can
afford to en'er a st ale which is to ao extent
a copartnership, aod which should not be
undertaken without asse s proportioned to
