The tailor lived ou thu second floor 11 nd did his liest to make his livng for his wife nud four chil dren, ' Down stairs ttib inuJ ohucco- nist lived in a state of perpetual anxiety about the tailor's rent, which he generally gave up piecc 8l)d with groans, as people give up tltii tjopt) not because he did not want to pay till hi l.ilja, but because of shortness of funds, common to many people. U) U) tl)e fttt'c l'mt n single 'olg- cr, of whom nobody knew any thing, ins nnino wan mm-lf, w what did that tell when It was so common, lie was lean unci niui hollpw checks and anxious eyes. Wllflt llis business was or if he had imy no oi)o fcnuw, Ppilmpshe wore stockings. , The iwtr ai)flHepaiy of "Romeo and Juliet" put him in mind of his attic lortgur, ivlien, be ing preHCiited with tickets by u the atrical lodger, ho went to spend an evening with Shakespeare. "Ho ain't like it in the face, though," thought Mrs. Tobacconist; "his clothos lit too good. Mr. Smith, that's all," It was an acuto remark, Mv, Smith's dotes did At him ton good, inasmuch as they were a few sizes too small for him. As for business ho seemed to have none. At noon he went out for a loaf of bread and n pitcher of beer. At twelve o'clock, lie disuppened till midnight, when he Jet 'hi mself in with a latch-key and weiit tQ bed without a candle. . "Ami for all ha told anybody about himself,' sai4 tha toitacftoist's wife, he' might havo been a ghost.'' v f'Biit he'rf civil spoken," said the tailor's wife, to whom he always said, "Kxcubo me, ma'am," when he found her afloat on the staircuso, in a puddle of soap and water which always made tho black boards look blacker than beforej and was oblig ed to wade through tho flood with bread and beer. And the tailor's wife, who had lived at service in her youth, even ventured to hint to her husband that " sho' thought Mr, S. a gentleman. , However, this fancy the tailor crushed with a curse.- , .,',"Geutlcmou don't wear any such coat as that, Sally.", , ' : l ' Poor littlo tailor, ho sat cross-legged on his board And stitched, and uieaBurod mon by their coats.' If he had iheasured or oven mended more coats It would have been bet ter for him and . his brood, ' . i Tlmefi seemed to grow worse, cus tom; less, the money harder to get. When tho little man read 1n his morning paper of men who shot themselves or took laudanum, he wondered whether they had four little children with hearty appetites and a prospect of -having nothing to eat for several days. No thought of killing himself; besides, ho had been told by his clergyman tliut suicide was wicked but ho could n't hell) thinking. And tlie civil lodgor in tho attic, how did he fare? One night when Sally, who had been mending and ironing and patching the . family rags all day was cconenoinically using up the fire by cooking a loaf of bread in the oven, ; she heard the lodger coming in. He went up stairs and paced tho floor; he came out on tho entry and creaked the stairs. Ho seemed as restless as a caged tiger, and he behaved so for three nights, instead of rctirsug , at. oucc , as' the tailor's family knew he" generally did by the freaking and snapping of his bedstead. "What can ail Jiim?"; flaid Hully, as she took her bread out of the ov en and pricked it with a straw, find ing it done,. "What can ail him? I hope he ain't sjck or nothing he is so civil, poor dear," Then Sally listened again. "I declare! he's coming dowif," she said. He must be sick, and there ho is knocking law!" Then she opened the door. ' The lid of tje Htovo was off, and tho red light Hashed on hungry flice, with hollow cheeks and sunken t-yes, ., . ', . , . , , The gauujt laiii streclioi jj.self out and a voice said faintly? "jNftuhmie, I know you have a kind heart, I nm m hungry; It's three days since I ate fltiytljijig, and I don't want to die.'.' "Law! I should think' not,"..snid the woman. "Why, law me, I'm' so sorry! And I suppose you can't get ft 't PIW, wly, do take it. I ain't got untiling pise, ' Ypiieee we are pretty poor ourselves and there, Oh lnw!" Sho was trembling, she did hot know why.' She was thinking to herself: "It's like, a play, Jt makes mo want to cry." Then he took lUo My) li!'P.a B''0 had given him In his hnnds, tearing1 bits from it and eating it. - "I didn't thank you," he said. "Thank you! thank you!" and went aay, Sally jzit d-,yiij (,i:eml)liig still. To lie out of a job and tQ M hun gry were no rare things and no tragic things in her experience; but this man had stirred her soul, some how frightened her, and she said, "I hadn't any bioii)fiij8 Jo give away a loaf of bread; but there, now, I couldn't help it." Then Sally went to bed and slept, and dreauicd of the hollow-cheeked, laniisl)!;.' !n,)er of t'10 attic. There was more bread to wak e next day, and I am not su.ro but that she made an extra loaf, In ex pectation of another call from her neighbor; bit he did' not come, and in the course of time hally had enough to think of without leaving her own room, Matters did not prosper with the family. Little f,ea had the scarlet fever, and lay for a Iffiig Mine ftj; fje';i,J'ii tjppr, and tho work witl) wl jeli the niqtljcr helped tp fill t''e ftlf'ly was necessai'lly iiugloctcd, nijd her cus tomers grew angry and loll her. ; Then the baby died. Poor little baby! '' , . ..'.,..', The mother wept bitterly. Tho father also longed to weep, although cjllJijrp)). were expensive luxuries in that poor hniitowold, if)lly the last ntllii'tion fell upon the tailor a felon on his rioht thumb. There was an end to all, it seemed to both. Nothing but tho hospital and tho atmosphere before them. The rent was quite unpaid at last, and tlie tobacconist was in a fury. He called to give him warn ing nud n piece of his mind. On the morrow out ho should go, neck and crop. Tho tailor said nothing. The wife, woman like, had. her word. "Where shall wo go?'' she asked. "We haven't a poiiny Iu the world " j "It is nothing to me where you go," said the landlord, "so that 1 get yon out of my rooms. I want them for honest people." . ' - "We're unfortunate, but wo never mean to be dishonest," cried the wife. . j ',. j . Then her husband, in. an angry tone, bade her hold her tongue "It's all tho same," lie said; "wo will go to-morrow, And now you go, Mr. Landlord." . 11 i, .Then they were left alone, be moaning their hard fate. There was absolutely nothing to eat In tho house, 1 - , Sally looked at her empty flour barrel, nt her wretched family, and then burst Into tears. ' : ' "It's no use "trying any longer," she said. "If the Lord would only take us. That's all I ask." , ".' Sho put the children to bed and sat down upon ft chair drawn by force of 'habit 'to the hearth of an empty stove Her husband, between pain mid anxiety,' was less sane than a mad man. He paced the floor like a tisrer. talkins to himself. The bit of tallow ! Candle burned low, the bitter wind rattled the casement, the rain beat against it. "We shall be out in all that to moiTOW,'f .said the man.' "We've not a friend In tho world." ' "We've got one friend, I hope," said the wife. '.'''. '','' "Who is he?" asked the tailor. 1 "God," said the. woman. "Maybe He'll find a wav to hclo us. We haven't been very bad, Sam." '"Better to' have starved before now," said tho tailor, ltWe haven't any particular right to expect mira .cles, '.that T know of, Hark! What's "A knock," said his wife, and, trembling lest her landlord should haye rptljrned, opened the door. Without stood tlie tall gaunfr figure of the lodger in the attic. ''He's come for some bread," thought the woman, and amidst her own troubrs (dip gi'iayed over the thought of refusing bis appeal. Ho made none, l)oweyer. This is what he said: 'Madiini, awhile ago I took the liberty of asking you for bread. Allow me to return the loaf with thanks."' So ho yarjipjhed. ' A whole fresh loaf lav in the woman's hand. She carried it in. , f'Tlfls: fa inn-p t,iaii I expected," she said. "You see God is good." She lifted the. side of the candle stick a1 little. " The light flared up. ' "M(jller(" cried a child's voice from tho bod, ''I'm luuigvy,'' Sally broke it in two. It parted with singular ease. ' She gave a littlo cry. ' It had evidently been parted be fore. n)( joined together, and from the heart a handful of crumbs had been scooped, and in it lay a little white packet. "It's fairy-bread," cried Sally, re membering some old country le gend, "Look on It beforo the light goes out," said tho tailor. ; ' Sally obeyed. She opened the packet and found two envelopes. In ono was this notet - ;.- Your loaf of bread saved my lift,. T knoy yiu are in trouble, and yesterday my luck ivedmy life, W . I -! . I .i. '.. I i .. .. turned, To-day I am worth $50,- 000, having won a law, suit that has been nendinar for vearli. Please nc- cept the enclosed, and believe me your ever obliged ; There was a $500 note in the other envelope, and when she saw it she thought herself the happiest woman iu Christendom. Tho gift was the saving of the family. Sally had cast her bread upon the waters to find it again iu very truth. And when the tailor's hand was we ngain, there was a patron for him who dressed in such a manner that Sam could no longer doubt him gentleman. Tho attic lodger wears the llnest broadcloth now, and. the tobacconist bows low as he meets Ifim on U way f)iit, fir sells him choice JIavanas over the coun ter. ' He sleeps at the door in his enrrlago, lodges In tl "ttic no longer;, but ho has never forgotten tho loaf of bread given him by the tailor's wife when lie was starving.

TRANSLATED BY REV. T. DE WITT TALMAGE, D. D. BROOKLYN LIVERY STABLES, January 20, 1873. Mr ' dear Ladies and Gentle men: I am awaro that this is the first 1 time a horse has taken upon himself to address any member of the human familv. True, a second cousin' of our household once ad dressed Balaam, but his voice for oubliC speaking was so poor that he jgot unmercifully whacked, and never - tried it again, We hayc en dured in silence all the outrages of many thousands of years, but fee it-lioyr time tq nmko remonstrance r, Rk'.tut attentions lye Tiwdo us awatC'of our worth. During the epfy otic epidemic, we had at oui stab es inunierablo calls, from doc tors land judges and clergymen. Every body asked about our health Groomsmen bathed our throats, and sat ip wtl ifs !igh,t9, and fur nished us pocket- landcrchiefs.--For tho first time in years, we had qnlec Suudays. We overheard conversation that made us think that the cqmifi'pp ait tljo fashion of tho wqrld waitocj tle news from tho stable, Tolographs announced across the land and under the sea and we came to believe that this worltl was originally made for the horsol and man for his groom. Bui th, jogs arc going foapk: again wher4 they were. Yesterday I was driven fifteen iniles, jerked in the mouth, struck on the back, wa tered when Iwas too warm, and in steadpf tho six quarts of oats that my'diYcr ordered for me, I got two. Last night I was drlvon to a wedding, and I heard music and quicU feet and laughter that made the handiliers rattle, while I stood unbttnketed in tho cold. Sfmetimea thQd,pctqrs. ljirg me. ancU I stand at twenty doors wait inslfor invalids to rehearse all their nails, I Then the minister hires mel aud I have to stay till Mrs. Titjle iTattlo has tinic to tell the doiilni all tho disagreeable things of he' parish. llie 5 other nifirht after owner the had gbne home, and the hostler was aslecyf-.we- held ..aa . indignation meeting ill our liyery-ejtlilc, UQld Sorrel'' presided, and there was a long lino of vice-presidents and secretaries, mettled bays and dap pled grays and chestnuts, and Shetland and Arabian ponies. "Charley, "one of the oldest inhab itants of the stabh, began a speech. amid great stamping on the part of the audience. But he soon broke down for the want of wind. For years he had been suffering with tho honyoe,." Then (iPxuTnpcy,'' a veneralilo nag, took his place', and though he had nothing to say, be lield out liis spavined leg, which dramatic posture excited tho ut most qntyiisjasm, qf tll ftHcnco. "Fanny Shetland," the property of i lady, tried to dumage tho mect ng by saying that horses had no .-ii il l. -i wrongs, olio saw, "dusi iook ni, my cmkoidere blanket, J neyer go out 'when the weather is bftd: Every body who comes near pats mo on tho shoulder. What can be moro bcnutifil than going out on a sunshiny afternoon to make an ex cursion through the park, amid the clatter of the hoofs of the stallions? I walk, or pace, or canter or gallop, as I choose. Think of the beauti ful llfo ve live, with the prospect, after qiw easy wni'H U Jgnhig up and joining Elijah's horses of Are!', I Next took tho floor, and said that I was bom in a warm Penn sylvania barn : was, on iu fhthci',8 side,' descended from Bucephalus; on my motbor'i . sicio, from a steed that Queen Elizabeth rode in Ua- ple chase. My youth was passed in clover pastures and under trusses of sweetsmelling hay. I flung my heels in gleo at tho farmer when he came to catch ine. lint on a uai K lay! I was over-driven, and my Joints stiffened, and my fortunes went down, and my whole fumily was sold. My brother with bead dowu and sprung in tho knees, pulls ' the street-car. My sister makes her living on the tow-path, hearing the canal boys swear. My avint died of tho epizootic. My undo blind, and afflicted with the bots, the ring-bone, and the string halt wanders about tho commons, trying to persuade somebody to shoot blm. And hero I stand, old and sick, to cry out Against the wrongs of horses tho saddles that gall, tho spurs that prick, tho snaf fles that pinch, the loads that kill. At this,' a vicious looking nag, with mano half pulled out, and "watch eyo," and feet "Interfering," and a tail from which had been ab strncttfd cnouurh hair - to mako six "waterfalls,", squealed out tho sug gestion that it was time for , a re bellion, and she moved that we take the field, and all those who could kick, should kick, and that all those who can bite, should bito, and that all those who could bolt, should bolt' and that all those who could runaway, should run away; and that thus we fill the country with broken wagons, and smashed heads, and teach our oppressors that the day of retribution has come, and that our down-trodden race will no more be trifled with. Wrhen this resolution was put to vote, not one said "Aye," but all cried "Nay I nay," and for the space of half an hour kept on neighing, Instead of this harsh measure, it was voted that, by the band of Henry Bergh, President of the So ciety for the Prevention of cruelty to Animals, I should write this letter of remonstrance. ; My dear Indies and . gentlemen, remember that we, like j-oursslves, have mood, and cannot always be frisky ant cheerful. ' You do not slap your grandmother in the face because, this morning, shs does not feel as well as usual; why, then, do you slash us? Before j'ou pound 1)9 ask is whether wo. hye been up late tlC flight befpre, or had our meals at Irrogular hours, or whether our spirits have been de ten or twelve years in which to en joy ourselves, and then wo go out to be shot into nothingness. Take care of p while yon may. Joli's horse was !!ciqthei with, thunder," but all we ask is a plain blanket- When we. are sick, put us In a horse- pital. Do not strike us when we stumble or scare. Suppose you were in the harness, and I were. In the wagon, I had the whip and you the traces, what an ardent advo cate yon would be for kindness to Irrational creation ! Do not let the blacksmith drive the nail into the qvjick when he 'iqes, me; or burn my fetlocks with a hot file. Do not . mistake the "dead-eye" that nature put on my fore-leg for a wart to be exterminated. Keep the north win,d. nit of our- stables- Care for us at somo other time than during the epizootics, so that we may sea that your kindness is not selfish. July dear friends, our inter ests arc mutual. I am a silont partner in your business. Under pressd by being kicked by a drunk en hostler. We. have only about my sound hoof is tho diamond of national prosperity. Beyond my nostril the world's progress nay not go, With thrift, and wealth, and comfort, I daily race neck and neck. Be kind to vie, if you want me to bo kind to you. And near be the day when the red horse of war shall bo hocked, and. iiyipp.torit, and the pale horse of death shall be hurled back on his huuncbes, but the vfJiite horse of peace, and joy, and triumph shall pass on, its rider with face like the sin, all nations following! Your most obedient servant, CHARLES BUCEPHALUS. AN INCIDENT OF THE GRAND DUKE'S VISIT. [From the Boston Journal] When tho Russian Duke Alexis was cntortalnod In the Music Hall by the exhibition of the School childrenin December, 1871, the bust of Franklin was knocked from Its pedestal by persons in the Bal cony, and struck a latly namcil Elizabeth Kendall upon tho head, lnficting injuries which required medical attendance Air a considera ble time. The decorator of the hall, beforo Jils bill was paid, offer ed to make tho matter right with the injured person, but the olfer was declined. At the term of the Supremo Court In October a suit was entered against tho city- on bo- half of the injured lady for $10,000 damages. There being some doubt as to tlie liability of the city, and Alderman Cutter and Jenkins hav ing been members of tho commitee in charge of the festival, suits have also been brought against them nnd their property attached.

Electrotyping and Stereotyping. ::. u;;;'(i r : .j. r As most of our readers probably know, the leading daily newspapers are printed, not from type, but from . stereotype casts; otherwise it would be simply impossible to strike off their huge editions with sufficient rapidity, ' The principal magazluep and' other periodicals, Jtnd ..most books, are also printed from stereo? trpe or electrotype plates. The process of stereotyping con sists In making a "matrix" Of five" or six sheets of paper pasted to gether with a; peculiar - paste, and . wetted thoroughly to a pulpy state. In twenty-four hours this is ready for use. It. is then beat into thd "form" of type by a hard brush1 until the impression 1b thoroughly made, after which it la well dried ill a liot press. This Is the paper, mold. . Any number of casts can thus be taken with expedition, and the typo is subject to no apprecia ble wear. This method answers admirably for newspapers, but tho process has defects, especially when applied to fine book work or the re-; production of engravings, and for these purposes it has of late years been almost entirely superseded' by the more costly but far more satU factory process of electrotyping , , , This process may bo briefly dos cribed as follows ; An, impression of the page is taken in wax, forming a perfect mold. The face of this mold is covered with plumbago, to give it a metallic surlace. l no mold is book concerns do their own ; work of . this kind, but there is an im- then submittedto galvanic action in a tank filled with a strong sola tion of sulphate of copper. , : A thin film of copper is instantly deposited on the surface of the mold, increas ing in thickness until tho coating forms a "shell" about as thick as stout paper. This thin shell is strengthened by being "backed up',' with type metal ; the plates are then planed to a uniform thickness of about one-seventh of an inch, and secured upon blocks of wood. ' ' The electrotype is a perfect fac simile of tho original page or en graving, the minutest lines and points, being reproduced with abso lve. ...precision. ... Besides giving a clearer impression, it is more dura ble than the stereotype, and alto gether superior in artistic effect. Most of the great newspaper and mense amount required by the conv niuuity generally, and ia all large cities there are numerous establish ments making a specialty of thi ine of business. """""' ' One of the oldest and best known in New York is that of Mr. Charles Craske, No. 61 ; Ann street. ; For more than twenty years Mr, Craske has pursued this avocation, and em ploys a large number of hands in the execution of elcctrotyping and stereotyping in tho best possible manner. Anything that may be re quired in this line will be. promptly and satisfactorily furnished. ;,Mr. Crnske's business is chiefly in fill ing city orders, and these flow in with such rapidity that tho re sources of the establishment are frequently taxed to tho utmost. Position of a Residence. Houses on streets running nearly nortbJ and south aro far preferable to those located oh those going east and west, in a sanitary estimate. In the first, here at the north of the equa tor tho sun shines brilliantly in the forenoon on tho frout,1 and with nearly equal force in the aflernoou on the rear. Thus dampness is expelled and the whole edifices dry and the air far purer lor its solar exposure. If a house is on an east and west street, tfiose fronting north are decidedly the best for a resi dence, because the sun's , action on the yard, the kitchen, and usual regions of neglected ac cumulations, puriGea and modi fies the humid atmosphere that is sure to predominate in yards and the back side of. houses whose rear " is north of. the street Thus. circumstanced, tho back rooms aro never bo pleasant, cheerful, ; oreconomic ally warmed in winter or venti lated in summer as when on the south side.
