WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 4
SATURDAY NIGHT.
Placing tbe little hit* all in s row,
heady for church on the morrow vou know;
Washing wee faces and little black fiate.
Getting them ready and fit to be kissed ;
Patting them into clean garments and white,
That is what mothers are doing to-night.
Calling the little oneH ail 'round her chair,
Hearing them lisp their soft evening prayer :
Tellifig them stories of Jesnsof old.
Who hives to gather the iamlm to His fold ;
Watching, they listen with childish delight
That is what mothers are doing to-night.
Spying out holes in the little worn hose,
Laying by shoes that are worn thro' the toes,
Ixxikiug "o'er garments so faded and thin
Who but a mother knows where to begin ?
Changing a button to make it look right
That is what mothers do night after night.
Creeping so softly to take a last peep.
After the little ones all are asleep;
Anxious to know if the children are warm.
Tucking the blankets around each little form:
Kissing each Utile face, so rosy and bright—
That is what mothers do night after night.
Kneeling down gently beside the white bed.
Lowly and meekly she bows down her head.
Praying as only a mother can pray,
“God guide and keep them from going astray."
A LEBBON.
I said my life is a beautiful thing,
X will crown me with its flowers,
I will sing of its glory all day long,
For my harp is young, and sweet, and strong,
And the passionate [xjwer in my song
Shall thrill all the golden hours.
And over the sand, and over the stone.
Forever and ever the waves rolled on.
1 said, my life is a terrible thing,
All ruined, and lost, and crushed,
1 will heap it'< ashes upon my head,
1 will wail for my Joy and my darling dead.
Till the dreary dirge for the days that are fled
Stirs faint through the dull dumb dust.
And over the sand, and over the stone,
Forever and ever the waves rolled on.
I said, I was proud in my hour of mirth,
And mvl in my first despair.
Now. X know nor earth, nor sky, nor sea.
Has heed or helping for one like me.
The doom or the boon comes, let it he,
For us, we can but bear.
Ami over the sand, and over the stone,
Forever and ever the waves rolled on.
[All the Year Round.
THE WAY OF THE WORLD.
I leant from out my two-pair back,
The afternoon was mild—
A cab pass'd by. and on its track
A little dirty child.
Cabby drives calmly through the slush,
With all unconscious mind,
The dirty child comes with a rush,
And clambers up behind.
His mates hail look'd with careless eye
On all his efforts vain,
But now he’s landed high and dry.
They bum with envious pain.
The driver tnrns and plies the lash,
The child falls in the dirt,
And in a puddle rolls ker-splasli—
I think he must be hurt f
Ho turns away—that ragged boy,
lie’s anything but gay ;
Hie little friends they jump for joy,
And go on with their play!
I shook my head despondingly—
“Ah, such is life, I guess!”
A man meets little sympathy
While struggling for success.
And when the hack of Fortune's Car
He's clutched -you’ll always find
How ready all his best friends are
To bellow, “Whip behind!”
SMALL THINGS.
A traveler through a dtiHty road,
Strewed acorns on the lea,
And one took run I, and sprouted up,
And grow into a tree.
Love sought its shade at evening time,
To breathe its oarly vows ;
And age was pleased in heats of noon.
To bask beneath its houghs;
The dormouse loved its dangling twig,
The birds sweet music bore ;
It stood a glory in its place,
A blessing evermore.
A little soring had lost its wav
Amid the grass and fern.
A passing stranger scooped a well,
Where weary men might turn ;
He walled it in, and hung with care,
A ladlo at the brink
lie thought not of the deed he (lid,
But Judged that the toil might drink.
He passed again—wad lo! tho well,
Bv Summer’s novi r dried.
Had cooled ten thousand parching tongues.
And saved a life beside f
A dreamer dropped a random thought.
'Twas old, ami vet 'twas now—
A simple fancy of the brain,
But strong in being true ;
It shone upon a genial mind,
And lo! its light became
A lamp of life, a beacon ray,
A monitory flame.
Tho thought was small—its issues great.
A watch tiro on a hill ;
It sheds its radiance far a-down,
And cheers tho valley still.
A nameless man, amid a crowd
That thronged the daily mart.
Lot fall a word of hope and love,
Unstudied, from the heart ;
A whisper on tho tumult thrown—
A transitory breath— 0
It raised a brother from the dust,
It saved a boul from death,
t) germ! O fount ! Oh word of love !
O thought at random cast!
Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at tho hod.

MORNING.
O gracious breath of sunrise ! divine air !
That brood'st serenely o’er the purpling hills,
O blissful valleys ! nestling, cool, and fair,
In the fond arms of yonder murmurous rills,
Ilreathing their mystic measures to the sun ;
O (lew-sprinkled paths, that circling run
Through sylvan shades and solemn silences.
Once more ye bring my fevered spirit peace !
The fitful breezes, fraught with forest balm.
Faint, iu rare wafts of perfume, on my brow;
The woven lights and shadows, rife with calm.
Creep slantwise twist the foliage, bough oil
bough
Uplifted heavenward, like a verdant cloud
Whose rain is music, soft as love, or loud
With jubilant hope—for there entranced, apart,
The mock-binl sings, closo, close to Nature's
heart.

Dart the dove's pinions, pulsing vividly
Down the dense glades, till glimmering far

The last dim shimmer of those lessening

A Lunatic Bam,. —A novel entertain
ment, but one beneficial to the parties i
participating, was a recent ball given to j
the patients at Blackwell’s Island Lu-1
natic Asylum by their physicians. At j
exactly seven o’clock in the evening forty
female lunatics eutered the gymnasium
where the festivities were to take place.
They were ilressed in all sorts of cos
tumes, the dresses of some resembling
night gowns, while others indulged on
this special occasion in several suits.
Great latitude to taste was given, but
all were clean, orderly aud very lady
like. A few minutes after about as many
men arrived even more fantastically at
tired. Some carried a wardrobe that it
must have taken years to accumulate,
and others were clad more appropriately
fora July pie-uic than anything else.
The physicians soou eutered escorting
their lady guests, and about the latter
some of the older patient* crowded,
complimenting them on their improved
appearance, and requesting the pleasure
of taking them to supper when the time
came. One spoke to a lady of their last
meeting at the Hotel de Yille in Paris;
another had met the lady with whom he
was conversing in a California gold mine,
and a third had beat the children of
Israel out of time by swimming across
the Beil Sea with his via-s-vis nearly
four hundred years ago. The pianist
was not very tractable, and refused to
play without notes, but a waggish lu
natic placed before him * sheet of paper
on which were written the words. “Do
not spit on the door,” and he executed
admirably therefrom an overture from
Strauss. The master of ceremonies was
Henry Yasquez, whose father is a Gen
eral in the revolutionary army of Cuba.
He killed his mistress in New Ifork
about three years ago, and report says
paid SIO,OOO for his certificate of in
sanity.

PEPPER T
A Californian glory of a Telegraph :
Operator.
The following story originated, we I>e
lieve, with the San Francisco Pont. We
give it in the words of the California i
writer;
Many amusing stories have l«een told
of the festive freaks of the telegraph
operators, who, whenever afforded an
opportunity for the display of their pen
chant for n good joke, rarely fail to im
prove it. Almost everybody lias heard
of the operator in the Eastern City,
who, on a hot Hummer day, desiring to
Isirrow a chew of tobacco from one of
his fellows in the same room, instead of
making known his request by words of
month, clioosed what he deemed the
least exhausting measure of inditing a
dispatch, which, traveling over a circuit
of upwards of a thousand miles, in about
two minutes reached the identical office
whence it started, much to the surprise
of the other chap, who blandly shied his
tobacco box at the head of the irrepres
sible jokist.
It often happens that telegraphers are
called into service at the representation
of a stage play in which occurs what is
known as a ‘‘telegraph scene,” such as
the one shown in Byron’s Across the
Continent, or Boucicault’s Long Strike,
and it is then that the operator behind i
the scenes manages to amuse himself by
talking to the fraternity in the audience,
unknown of course to most of those
present, who find no meaning in the
click of the instrument.
As an evidence that the operators of
our city are not behind hand in the mat
ter of having their fun, the following is
related of Jim , a well known at
tar he. of the Western Union:
During the theatrical season of last
year, the di ama of The Long Strike
was produced at one of our theatres,
and for the manipulation of the telegraph
instrument, which plays an important
part in the most important act of the
play, Jim was engaged.
His position was such that he could
see the audience without being seen,
and when, upon taking his position,
discovering in the auditorium a brother
operator from Memphis, by name Mont
gomery Pepper—who had that day ar
rived in town—he determined to have a
little sport on liis own account.
Accordingly, when the time came for
the sending of the first dispatch, Jim
loudly sounded on the machine the
words, “ How are you Pepper?”
The quick professional ear of Pepper
caught the words instantly, and wonder
ing “ ylio the deuce it was,” straighten
ed up and stared at the stage as if he
would have given two dollars and a half
to know something more.
“Pepper, how’s your mother?” came
from the instrument, and Pepper,
thoroughly mystified, turned confident
ly to his fair partner to express his utter
astonishment at the most singular cir
cumstance.
As luck would have it, the auditorium
held quite a delegation to telegraphers,
who by this time saw that Jim was up to
one of his ohl tricks, and with one ac
cord they began to look about the
theatre for “ Pepper.”
.Tim saw the effect? of his experiment,
and enjoyed himself hugely.
Pepper hadn't got through telling his
girl all about it, when there came an
other message.
“That won’t do, old Pepper; I know
you well, and you hadn’t better be fool
ing that confiding creature with any soft
nonsense.”
This roused the telegraph boys to the
very pitch of curiosity, and many of
them stood up, gazing longingly about
them as if their only object in life was
to discover Pepper.
Pepper felt that they knew him, and
the confusion which had been gradually
covering his handsome features grew
into mortification when he saw so many
eyes evidently levelled at him, and at
last culminated in his withdrawal from
the theatre. But Jim was bound to
give him a parting shot, and, as lie faded
from view, he heard borne to his ears:
“Good by, Pepper. Put your trust in
Providence, lint keep your powder dry.”
Those who appreciated the affair were
much amused, and so, indeed, was the
victim himself, when, on the following
day, lie learned who it was had so neatly
captured him.
Remarkable Transformation. Not
long since Mr. Brnshweller, a resident
of Baltimore, purchased a piece of
property with the intention of opening
an eatiiig and drinking saloon. AH the
necessary fixtures were procured, includ
ing the usual array of bottle and glass,,
pictures, Ac. All xvas made ready for
the opening except the purchase of the
liquors, when a conversation happened
to take place between the proprietor and
some friends of temperance on total
abstinence, in which the evils produced
by the sale and use of intoxicating li
quors was dwelt upon. Finally, after
much debate, the proprietor of the house
decided not to open the place us a drink
ing saloon, but to organize a temperance
society instead, and steps were forth
with taken to carry this changed pur
pose into effect. The evening for or
ganizing the temperance society was
appointed and friends of the cause were
invited. The meeting took place Thurs
day night last, in what had at first been
designed for a bar room. The decan
ters were all there, but empty and turned
upside down, whilst upon the head of
the empty beer keg was placed a card
bearing the words “Woe to him that
givetli liis neighbor strong drink.” On
each side of the mirror were placed gob
lets of water. The attendance was large
and much interest was manifested.
A Sr. Louis Domisie on Vices of the
Young. —A lively sermon on the ‘‘Vice
of the Age” was preached in St. Louis '•
recently by Rev. Dr. Holland, of that
city, aud iu the course of his remarks he
said ; The middle classes spend their
income in keeping up false appearances.
They, too, must wear dove-colored pan
taloons and shiny boots. They must
wear diamond studs anil seal rings, aud
carry young ladies to the opera, in hired
carriages, at the rate of three hours’
use for three days’ wages. They must
take a turn now and then at billiards,
stand treat to the cock-tails, bet upon
their voracity when called’ in question
and last of all, lest they should be deemed
timid, must demonstrate their nerve by
“fighting the tiger” until it claws the
last dime out of their pockets, and claws
lasting scratches upon tlieir souls. The
only safeguard against vice is work; not
work as the slave, who works to eat aud
eats to work, but work to reach a higher
plane of effort, not only of the body but
of the mind—work, whatever, it be,
whether for a dav, a week, a month or u
life-time, hunustlv and cheerfully, as one
who expects to Contemplate its results
forever.
A New York correspondent lias made
a discovery that is dreadfully shocking
to old prejudices, as well as a singular
indication of some notable mental differ
ences between the sexe*. He says that,
iu canvassing the Eighth Ward, where
nearly all the negroes of New York live,
he found more than 3,000 negro men
married to white women, and but one
white man married to a negro woman.
Among the females many are claimed to
be voting aud handsome, while most of
them are represented to lie contented
and even cheerful. The «orj’pspouileut
who has made this discovery say* that
lie inquired of several of the white wo
men how they came to marry negroes,
aud that tlw auswt?)'was that “it was bet
ter to be the wife vs y man than a
white man’s mistress.” If ri r «*canswers
are true, it seems that the gliiaueejs tie
justified more ou the score of morals
than on that of wstheties, It there is
such a disproportion between white men
aud white women, it would also indi
cate that the women are most suscep

Statistics of Pauperism and Crimf..
—The last Federal census shows that
during the year there iverein tho United
States 116,102 paupers and 36,562
criminals. Tho cost of supporting the
paupers was 810,930,429 ; of the whole
number 76,737 were receiving support
on the Ist of June, 1870 ; and of these
44,539 were whites, 9,400 were colored
persons, and of the whites 22,798 were
foreign born. Os the 36,562 criminals
reported for the year 1870, 32,901 were
in prison ou the Ist of June, 16,117 be
ing whites, and 8,056 colored persons,
and 8,728 of the whites being foreigu
born. It will be observed that the
white population furnishes only a little
more than one-third as many criminals
as paupers, .while the colored population
furnishes nearly as many criminals as
paupers. New York furnishes the
largest number of both paupers and
criminals—26,ls2 of tho former, and
5,473 of the latter ; Pennsylvania fur
nishes 15,872 paupers and 3,974 crimi
nals ; Massachusetts furnishes 8,030
paupers and 1,593 criminals ; Ohio con
tributes 6,385 paupers and 2,560 crimi
nals ; Illinois, 6,054 paupers and 1,552
criminals; Maine, 4,619 paupers and
431 criminals ; Michigan, 3,151 paupers
and 835 criminals ; Missouri, 2,424
paupers and 1,503 criminals.
The report declares that the most
economical method of treating paupers
is found in the town-farm system, since
it requires only one salary, that of the
overseer, and permits the labor of the
paupers to be employed to the full ex
tent of their ability. Under this sys
tem, the annual cost of a pauper is 8-50
to 860, while in those States where pau
pers are gathered in large establish
ments, with numerous officials and ex
pensive appointments, and xvith no op
portunity for employing the inmates pro
ductively, the cost rises or 8100 to 8140.
Maximilian’s Horse Accoutrements
Owned BY a Former Trojan. — Dr.
Julius A. Skilton, formerly resident of

United States at Mexico, is the happy
owner of Maximilian’s horse equipage,
elegantly mounted with the Hapsburg
coat-of-arms, aud richly set with precious
stones, He got possession of them in
this way. Shortly after the execution
of Maximilian Dr. Skilton was corres
pondent of the New York Herald at the
oity of Mexico. A Roman Catholic
priest, a very devout and worthy man,
had been imprisoned for sympathizing
with the cause of the Empire. The
Doctor wrote up his ease for the Herald,
and his article resulted iu an examina
tion of the c vse and the release of the
prisoner- The padre was very grateful
to Dr. Skilton, told him that he could
not pay him for his services except by
his’prayers. He finally told him that
be could make him a present, very
valuable ip itself, but which would be a
source of gppai ppfspnal danger to the
Doctor if tfie fact of possession should
be kuown. He said that Maximilian
had given him a valuable set of horse
furniture as an evidence of lus regard,
but that they were no use to lain except
as a memento. He told the Doctor he
might have them and that they were in
g barrel buried in a certain place. In
course of Dr. Skilton found oppor
tunity to remove tnefp, *)U<l they are now
in possession of a friend of the Doctor's.

I sijvpxVf'E Polici es. — The recent great
tires are bringing BP again all the old
questions. A correspondent of the 5s ew
York Journal Os Commerce inquires “if
a firm has insurance on its stock for
$50,000 ami the stock is work #IOO,WI,
and their stock is damaged by tire to the
extent of $.">0,000, how much insurance
can they collect ? Do the companies pay
the whole damage, or do they pay in
proportion of the whole stock to the
amount of insurance ?—that is, will the
firm peseirp £.j0 f OOO or only §25,000 ?”
In reply the Journal stains that no mat
ter how much the stock’is worth, if jam
insurance is for 350,000 under a plaih
ordinary policy, the underwriter must
pay atj> iq*; which occurs up to that
amount. Bui if th„ pqlicy contains
what is known as “the ‘average sltjqse”
( which reads, “It is understood and
agreed that claims under this policy
shall only be for such proportion of the
vr])ole loss as the amount of this allow
ance bear* the whole value of the
property- insured, "j then t)]e loss falls
pro rata on the underwriter and the
owner. If the stock is insured lialFits
vslnn, *;ith this clause inserted, the
underwriter pgys half the loss. If in

one-fourth the loss. But if this clause
is omitted then the owner can collect
his entire loss if enough has been in
sured in solvent companies.
Price of Lkamjse Advanced. —A Bos
ton special says it is roughly estimated
that three million sides of upper and
rough leather aud calf skins were de
stroyed. Already prices in upper leather
have advanced from ten to twenty per
cent., and it is quite likely that a Aimer
will be made in this staple. Qf sole
leather it is known that three hundred
thousand sides at least were burned, but
the quantity of bide® destroyed was
very small, and there is no reason for
advance in this material. A rise iu boots
and shoes is inevitable, and people who
come to buy must be prepared to pay
much higher prices than formerly, and
select from much smaller stocks. The
boot and shoe trade is regarded as in a
good condition. Dealers burned out
had, as a general thing, lighter stocks
than many supposed.

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
An Insurance Case from Louisiana—A
State May Not Impair the Obliga
tion of Contracts Made in c'onteder
ate Money.
Washington, November 25. — The Su
preme Court rendered a decision in Del
mo against the Merchants’ Mutual In
surance Company from the Supreme
Court of Louisiana. It was upon the
authority of the Constitution of Louis
iana, to render a contract void, because
it was based upon Confederate money as
its consideration. The Court below
found that Delmos had the prior claim
to a certain fund, lint that as the con
sideration which established his claim
was Confederate money, it failed, and
the insurance company, whose claim
was subsequent but based ou a valid
consideration, was entitled to the fund.
This Court say, in substance, that if
the judgment below bad decided that
the contract underlying Delmo’s claim
was void from the policy extended at the
time, there could have been no question
for revision here. But as the judgment
is based upon a provision of the Consti
tution of the State formed after the con
tract was made, which declares all con
tracts devoid which are founded upon a
consideration of Confederate money, it
will have to be revised, as having sus
tained a law repugnant to that clause of
the Federal Constitution prohibiting
the States from making any law which
shall impair the obligation of contracts.

THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
No Change of Policy—Not so Certain of
Recommending Amnesty—Grant Dis
covers no Necessity for a More
Friendly Policy to the South—No Os- :
flee for Enemies of the Administra- ,
tton—lnvestigation of Pardon Appli- 1
cations—He Fiuds a Custom House
Embezzler Worthy of Executive
Clemency.
Washington. November 26. The !
rough draft of the President's annual
message, though not quite finished, was
read to the Cabinet to day—all the mem- ,
hers being present. It will lie some
what, perhaps one-fifth, longer than last
year’s message. In addition to the two
copies to be sent to Congress, five will
bo made in manifold for the use of the
city press and for telegraphing. In re- j
sponse to a question asked by the w riter j
of this dispatch, the President remarked 1
that he had no objection to saying that
the message would not show any change
of policy on his part, as his endeavor
was now, as it had been iu the past, to
perform his entire duty to the extent of
liis ability, and in such manner as would
best serve the interests of the country.
He was not certain that he would
recommend to Congress an extension of
amnesty to the two or three hundred
persons excluded by recent legislation,
but if he should, it"would be with a pro
posed condition that the beneficiary
merely take an oath to support the Con
stitution of the United States. Con
gress, however, had ample authority in
the premises, and could act with regard
to the matter without a repetition of his
views upon the subject, contained in his
former annual message.
He saw no more necessity, as had been
asserted, for making a declaration of a
, more friendly policy to the South than
for such a" declaration towards the
North, as he sought, as President,
under the obligation of his oath, to ex
| ecute the duties of his position without
favor or partiality, in acccordance with
law.
He would in his message endorse such
recommendations of legislation as may
be presented by the heads of the several
departments and which experience had
shown to be necessary, and he would
recommend to Congress that action be
taken with regard to the award made by
the Geneva Arbitration. The money
will be paid by Great Britain to the De
partment of State and be deposited in
the Treasury. Os course it cannot be
drawn therefrom, except in accordance
with latv for the purposes specified.
In the conrse of conversation on the
subject of civil service reform, the Presi
dent said that while competitive exami
nations were desirable, ho did not think
it right that office should be given to
the enemies of the Administration, to
the exclusion of its friends. t
He was now engaged iu examining ap
plications for pardons, taking up the
cases singly, with a view to conclusions
upon them. He intended to pardon Col.
Bowerman, who about eighteen months
ago Avas convicted of embezzlement
while he was an officer in the Baltimore
Custom House. He added that, in ad
dition to other reasons, Col. Bowerman
was a brave and faithful officer during
the late war.

mittee appointed to draft a reply to
Thiers.
London, November 26.—Paris specials
say the Radical journals are violent, de
claring that a terrible revolution will
follow the overthrow of Thiers’ Govern
ment. The same journals accuse the
Legitiinatists, the Orleans and the Im
perialists of having formed a coalition to
work tor the downfall of the present
Government. Gen. Changarnier is also
charged with aiming to secure power.
Paris, November 26, evening.—The
majority report of the committee on ad
dress Avas read in tho Assembly this

against the Radicals, and insists on the
establishment of a responsible Ministry

The majority of the committee wanted
immediate consideration of the report,
but the minority moved a postponement
till Thursday, and the motion was car
ried. The result is regarded as favor
able to the Government.

cision upon the report of the majority
of the Committee on the address and
resolutions of the minority.

tion.

diate consideration of the report, has

crisis has passed.

patches from the provinces report a cor
responding degree of tranquility.

Great Western. The case was with
drawn frern the Ohio Court, where pro
ceedings have been pending.
Jay Gould, referring to Vanderbilt’s
card, says: “In 1868 Vanderbilt held
$10,000,000 of Erie stock. I offered to
take fifty thousand shares, if lie would
hold the balance sixty days and give me
call for it. He agreed, but broke bis
promise. He sold all, and delivered it
in one day, hoping to create a panic,
under the impression that I could not
carry the stock. He failed, and feels
sore. ”
Heavy Advance Recovered.
NewYoek, November 27.—A Wiscon
son fire and marine insurance company

HAIR
RENEWER.
Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration l’or restoring Gray or Faded
Hair to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
It removes all eruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
By its use, the hair grow s thicker and
stronger. In baldness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create anew growth, except
in extreme old age. It is the most
economical Hair Dressing ever used,
:ts it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap
pearance. A. A. Hayes, M.D,, Stale
Assay er of Massachusetts, says, “The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected ti>r excellent quality; and I
consider it the Best Preparation
for its intended puiq«>ses.”

effectually accomplish this result. It
is easily applied, and produces a color
which will neither rub nor wash off.
