Our boy I Nuw pcrliai aonio pnoplo or pltllopro gotiUtvo proolivltlua may Iki Iril lo IittaKl"" that a louder of paternity la lo follow Just horo. Not a lilt of It. Three ycara ago. wlini I first clapicil eyoa on "our Imy," I an tipoto ha waa fully 12 yoara oltl. Who might have boon Clarence's father I havo not the Ivast Idea about. I aupiMiso soino ono carotl for tho boy, becunsc occasionally I bail notlcoil a palo .voutiK woman, in iJIncy black gown, como furtively to tho front of tho oIIUk, ami passed In lo "our lio v" a nackaze tlono up in a bit of old cewapapor, and from tho fact that tho par eel waa greasy, I was auio it contained food for our loy. Hut who tho woman was, was no business of mine, nor of tho offlco. Claronce not $3 a week, and waa tire errand Imy. When ho waa not running about tho atreols, ho aat in tho darkest part of the til nny ollk'C, before a ramshackle table, on which stood a copying press, for making copies of our correKpoiidonco waa ono of his functions. I wish I could make the boy an object of sympathy, but if I tried my vory boat I could not. When It waa bltlcr cold, some three Winlera ago, and our boy had on a miserably thin jacket, a site too small fur him, and when the kiiow was kneo deep, and his shoes wero out at heel aud loo, I novcr committed a greater picco of stupid ity in tho world than when I lent lilm my overcoat and arctics. Such rank Ingrati tude on the part of tho boy I Would any one havo believed it T In tlie aide pocket I found a bit of choose, and of courso a grease spot camo from it, and my shoes wero run down at tho hool. Ofcourao I rarely exchanged any words with our boy. llctwoen tho fourth elerk In our office and an errand boy, the gulf of detnarkatlon in tho social tcalo could not bo too strongly accentualod. Of courso I waa forced, from tlmo to time, to point out to Clarence his lino of duty, and had to ex plain lo him that a tendency to whistlo aurrepllously In Iho office or even on the landiug, nr to wet the leaves of lilts copy' iug-liook too much, or to blur the corros pondeneo, or to put three cent stamp on foreign letter, would Inevitably eud by bis becoming a forger or a murderer. If Clarenco had oven been good-looking I might have expatiated on that. I am not, 1 suppose, much of a Judgo of beauty, and 8uppoH0 that soino lads havo curly hair and blue eyes ; but Claronco waa not so favor ed. Ills eyes were dull and heavy and In a glironlc state of redness, and the lialr ou bis head always looked to mo like mildew ed hay, Ono thing that was commondahlo was hia punctuality us to luncheon. 12 x actly at 12 o'clock, when nolrunniuiiaboul, he com inenced his repast. Ills food was, invariably, dry bread and a lump of putty like cheese. What tho boy alo or did not eat made, of course, no difference lo me, though the monotony of Clarenco's mid day meal irritatod mo. From tbe zest with which ho ate it, I was lod to suppose that It was breakfast and dinner. Ofoourao, to a growing boy, with plenty of exorcise, it inado litllo dillerenco how, when, or what bo ale. I am no Spartan myself, and a sandwich and a picco of plo aufuces mo any day In tho year, but I must acknowledge to be singular as to pies, and vary that por tion of my luncheon with tho season. Ten cents, for a fourth clot k of an economical turn of mind, whodesplsoa wasto, is a sum of money not to bo carelessly thrown away, I knew it was a woaknoss of mino, wbon I mice cave our boy the above mentioned amount, and I ordered him in tho moat positive terms lo lay out the whole arSount In cakes, separated as we were Irom ono another by a sheet of ground glass, as I used to be busy over my books I could not help watching tho boy, as tbo shadow of ills head camo in my way, obscuring tho dim light. I sat at oxactly tho same table soino flllcon yonrn ngo, ant), I mippimu, was an aiiiKiyanuo lo tlto clerk w lto tmeil to on- cupy my prnnenl Honk, Just nn Claronco wai to mo. (Ivor thn orrautl lioy'H talilo thoio lmK', to-itay, Junt aa llinro liaO, I wipposti, lor llto lait Hlty yeam, a colored print ofu till);, Willi all nll sot, xkl linn lite over llto ncas, buund for l''unolul, In tbo Madclrai, that port beltiK vlallilu In llio (lislutR'o. Yon can't mso tlto picture very distinctly now, owing (o n storm of dust, dltt, and )belii wlilcli havo olisuurod It an long aa 1 can remember. I sometimes wondoreil whether Clarence ever was in Imagination on tho deck of that Ijrli;, aa I havo liocn a hundred limes wlton I waa a boy, careering ovor tho bright Kuaa, and whclhor tho wholn thing ovor became, to lilm, an It wa to me, a kind of pictorial Hying Dutchman. When I wanted Clar ence I had hardly ovor lo rap on tho glata for him. Tho boy seemed lo anliclpato my wishes, and would Jump up when I even moved my flngor. Tlili alacrity on hN part waa a sign of servility which I do niilsed. I should Havo liked lo havo soeu inysoU when 1 was in llial boy's placo lry Ing to bo (ulck and obliging. Of course 1 did my duty thoroughly when I was our boy. If I waa treatod thon with contempt porbapa It was best Air me, and as I al ways havo bail plenty of spirit, I returned oxactly what I recvivod, I do not think I havo altered much us to lomper slnro llio Unto I waa our boy nor as a clerk tlo I sco tho necessity for any change. Sovonly live dollars a inonlli, mill I am 35, Willi an old mollipr Iti keen alter Iwenlv vears' nor vU'oln llio house Is not a Mini calculated to engender much kindly fee ing, (hough I supposo It Is about as much us I am worth, I had noticed that Clarence, genoraliy i silent Imy, had a dlslUon toward cxpaii' slvenoss with mo which was disgusting. I think it was a May-day, some two years since, when looking through tbo window on (iolil street, our boy happened to sco some lad or other, with a baso-ball bat tin dcr his arm, walking gayly along. I think the romark Clarence made was, "Wouldn't he like lo bo that boy T It looked so jolly, and did Mr. Culpepper (that Is my name) over play "baso-ball?" I, of courso, utlor- ly tuuclched tho boy at once and for all tlmo, aa ho fully deserved. HUH Clarenco would not remain put down. I reniembor onco when it waa raining ho otTorod ,to go and bring me my luncheon, remarking, 'As It was raining hard, and I had no um brella, and that I seotned to havo a bad cold, he would just go aud fetch it." Now, I am and was tho last person In the world to appreclato this kind of thing. Every body in the world, In tho street, and in the oflice and in tho cflko is an opilomo of tho world Is for hlinsci", and such prosump lion on tbo part of our boy, who alo cbeaso, every day, for his bieakfast and dinner, waa as much out of place as if I, with my thread-bare coat on, had dared lo offer my arm to tbo da-blng wife of our Junior part ner, wlion she comes Into tho cdlco. I did not mean to be exactly rough with the boy, nor to eat his head off, but I ask any one, what right had an errand-boy to havo feel lugs? llless you I boya should not be sen- sltlvo. Wlion I think of tbo lots of snub bing I received, and how bravely I got over It all I There Is our Junior, the son of tho old gentleman, the founder of the bouse, Tho old man wlion be was allvo knew bis placo anil I knew mine, fie would nod to mo when he camo In, and onco a month I bout would exchange a word with me. I do not belle, o tho junior oven knows my name, and as to recognizing mo, I fancv it would bo as great a condescension on his part as If be was to take off his bat to a street-sweeper. Hut it Is not about myself I am writing, but about Clarence. This lunch episodo ended by my opening my window with a sudden Jar and dropping tho money on Clarenco's tsble without a word. The mean-spirited fellow absolute ly smiled, and went out with alacrity. If I had been in his place nfloon years ago, I wonld have let tbo money stay thoro for over, or thrown it at tbe lourlti clcrk'a head, lint boys havo not now tbo pluck that distinguished tliein In our time. Pres ently bo camo back and handod mo my luncheon. I never thanked him. I put it on the cover of the ledger, and let it stay there. I had no appetite- for It. I rat furtively watching Claronco. Presently ho opened his old drawer and took out his mlserablo dinner. This lime it was a mi lium crust and no cheoso. Why hadn't tho boychcesoT I opened my glass window and dropped my sandwich and plo brfuro him "Whero'a your cltcose, boyT" I askod "Ain't got any, air." "Why." No answor. What was It my business? I did not want any of bis confidence, "Kat that sandwich, you little wretch, and tho plo, and don't bothor mo ;" and I snapped to my window In a rage and went ta adding up my columns of figures; but somehow they wouldn't add. I must needs watch Claronce. He was munching bis bread, with bis back turned to me, and my luncheon was on tbe table, untouched, Somo boys are exasperating. Clarenco was especially so. I rapped at my window, Tho boy was by my able. "You will go over lo Martin's stores In Ilrooklyn and take this order; and go quickly. Don't dawdle. You are wanted hero back In aa hour to go ovor to tho Cunard' stoamor wharf. What mal0s you shako sj.you lit- tlo wrolcht Why don't you cat your lunchoou ? "Docause I ain't hungry. Fancv I ain't well. Afraid I could not bo back In an hour; legs kind of weak, air," Clarenco roplied, Spond yonr money at tho Ilowery or Tony Pastor's, I supposo, and alt up late, to that you are good for nothing In tbo day time Wo will have to got another boy." 'May-bo you will," was Clareuco's mean-spirited reply. 'Where Is that girl that used to call and bring you luncheon ?" I asked. "Myslslor? Working in a tobacco fac tory bas ruined hor health, I am afraid she has some complaint or tho lungs. Beou ill for two wooks ; and I am such a poor nurse." "Where is your cbeeso you used lo eat with that confounded luncheon of yours, which you soeraed so fond of?" "Have not bad anything but bread for a week. You seo there aro but two of us, poor sis ami me. Sho used to make ?3 a woek and together tho 30 bolped to keep ns; but now that she Is too 111 for work, tbe $3 I make, when room-rent Is paid a room and a closet you know which costs $5 a month, what's left ovor hardly keeps tho llfo In ua. Poor sis, sho is to patlont. If you wouldn't mind, I'll take homo your luncheon to her. Sho might bo tempted to eat somethlug. It don't amount to much, this troublo of ours, air.

Two hundred anil six bales of South Amorican hides to bo strip ped to Iloston could not be nogleclod, and Clarence wont on his orrand. It was dusk beforo our boy en mo lark, anil I missed him. Not a soul In tho ofllcc knew his addross. Next morning, Clar onco dltl not como to tlio olllce, nor Ihe noxt day. All lh.it night and tho next night, I bad lo hunt that mlserablo boy up, and a pieclnus liccdlo-ln-tho-hay-stack business was It. Molhor and I found him at last by the bed-title of a poor girl who was fast going to her last test. Wo helped to bury lior. Confound tho office 1 I was absent from It for llio only day In twenty years which was tint a holiday. Claronco never nanio back to thoslore again. .Mother overruled me. Mother Is not exactly n hartl wn nan, but sho slid thai, since I had boon brought up like a dog In Iho ulllee, (a term by no means coin pll tn tit la t y either to mo or to the linn,) Clarence should be free from tho same canine experiences. Mother's second cousin is from S.ilom. Ho lias tho reputation of being a hard man, too. In f.icl, wo all como from a peculiar hard-grained and knotty slock. Wo may lie lasting and not inclined to warp or spring, but if you try to hack al us with an ax or a halchol, why, bless you I tho edgo of your tool gels turned lu a moment. Well mothor's cousin sails a brig from Boston as captain. That brig Is in tho wino trade. Onr foreign mall Isjustinand hero Is a letter frou Clarence, who is nothing more than a sailor on board of tho brig ; may-bo bo will remain one all his llfo, for there really ain't much lu tho boy that I can sco, save lhal he has a soft heart, which don't count for anything, you know, in this world. Hocallsmo uncle Culpepper, which Is rather of a liberty, and mother, grand mother, which is a peculiar kind of a rela tionship, but tho boy has simo very curi ous anil absurd traits of character. Ho writes, Inclosing a draft on Boston for $25, 'to put a modest tombstono over Mary's grave." Was there ever such an IdUit or a boy) Just as If mother had not had it all done, with an iron railing round it, fully six months ago. This is tho way that stu pid Clarence'a letter ends ; "It Is over no Jolty sailing over the summer soa, and dear old Undo Culpcppor, Just look at the picture over my old desk in tbo office. Funcbal it on tho lee-bow, and the plcluro Is as true as troo can bo. Once, when you were not watching me I cleaned off the old thing, and, when I usod to bo eating my crust ofliread, watching that plctnre gave a flavor of grapes to the dry mouthfnls. If poor Mary wore only allvo, etc., etc." I might tako, perhaps, a fancy to Clarenco if it was not for Ibis girlish sentimentality of bis. What Is tho use of It, I should like to know, In an office or on board of ship? I am so thankful that I never had an atom of it in my composition. 2icw York Sunday Time: A'K tt'FA ,VJJ CENTEXA'IA L. A lull-tact of Charles K. Field's Addresa. Nowfano, Iho shiro town of Wludbain County, Is situated eleven miles west of Connecticut river, and is bounded north by Townshend, cast by Dummerston, Putney and llrookllno, west by Wardsboro and Dover, and south by Marlboro. Tho township containod originally within its chartered limits 31 square miles; bnt, In 1820, that part of tho town lying northeast of West river was atmoxed to Ilrookliue, which materally reduced tho chartered area of tho town. Tho original charter of the town was granted In 1753, by Denning Wontworth, govornor of New Hampshire, to Abnor Sawyer and others, by tbe name of Fano. Thero was a current tradition, 70 years Bgo, that It was called Fano after Thomas Fane, one of tho "men of Kent" who were ongagod lu an insurrectionary movement under Sir Thomas Wyat, in 15M, during the reign of Queen Mary, for tho purposo of elevating Lady Jano Grey to the throne In consequence of llio odious Spanish match which Mary bad formed witli Philip 3d. Aimer Sawyer anil bo others were the original grantco of Fane. In 1701 the charter was returned to Gov. WentworUi, and a now ono issuod to Luke llrown and bis associates, containing the samo provisions that are embraced in the original eharter. Tbe 11th day of May, 1772, tho governor of Isew York mauea grant of this township, by the name of Nowfane, to Walter Franklin anil twenty others, most of whom resided in tbo city of New York. This New York charter Is a literal copy or the original charter grant od by Gov. Wentworth. Tho 12th of May, 1772, Waller Franklin and his associates, tho grantees named In the Now York char ter, assigned and conveyed all their right in said township to Luko Knowlton and John Taylor, Eqrs.,or Worcestor County, Mats. The titles to tho lands in said town ship aro derived directly from tho Now York charter. Tho township was survey ed 1772, aud duly organized May 17tb, 1774 Tho town was first settled In 1700, by Jon athan Park. Nath'l Stedman, and Ebenez- er Dyer, who emigrated from Worcester 1 IO., Mass, The first clearing was made by Ebenezor Dyor upon tbo land occupied at this time by tho Windham County Agri cultural socloty for a fair ground. Jona than Park and Nathaniel Stedman wont on to tho bill and commenced clearings. In 1774, Judgo Knowlton, one of tha original proprietors uuderthe New York chatter, was allotted somo 300 or 400 acres In and about tho prosontalto or Faycttoville. Doa con Park's clearing covered tho old com mon on Nowfune bill and tbe Knowlton farm. Judgo Knowlton oxchangod his lands In ami about Fayettovlile with Dea con Park for his clearing of 80 acres and a log cabin thereon. Tbe do aeon went down and cleared up tbe land in and about Fay ettovlile. In 1767, tbo Judgo succeeded In removing tho shire from Wilmington to Newfano bill; but In 1824-tblrty-soveii years thereafter the shlro was removed from the hill to Favottevllle. Had Judgo Knowlton mado his pitch upon the lots originally allotted to him on Smith's Brook, and contributed as liberally towards tbe growth and prosperity of a village where Fayettevlllo now Is, It would have changed materially tuo aosuny 01 new fane. Starting, a hundred years ago, 1 settlement whore Fayettevlllo now stands. with no rival villages near, It would have secured such a coucoutratlon of wealth and business as would havo initio It ono of tho most Important villages In tho county. For stiverat years Iho early scttleis suffered all tho Irtrduhlps nntl privations incident to llio settlement of a new country. With out roads, or teams, or any or tho ordinary means or transportation, lhey woro under tho necessity of convoying, by tltolrown porsnnnt efforts, all their provisions and arming tools from Hinsdale, N. II., a distance or 20 miles, through an unbrok en forest. At that early day there was no rosd or pathway up tho valley of tho West rlvor, from Ilraltleboro; but thoy woro obllcod to cross Wleopcelllll In Dtimmor- ston. bv markod tices. Lucy, a child of Jonathan Park, was the first child born in town, August 15,1700. A Congregational church was organized In 1774, when thore wero but six families residing In tho town ; It consisted of nlno members, and Ho'. Ilfzckiah Taylor was ordained and as sumed tho p.tstmal chargo of tt on tlto day of Its organization. Soma years after the organization or Ibis church, two olhors, a Baptist ami a Universalis!, were established, and tlieso threo societies havo continued their organization slneo their establish ment. Tho early settlers r Nowntno wero nev er molested by Indians, the Inroads of sav age hordes from tho Catiatlas having mate rially rc.tscd upon tho settlement of the town. A baltlo was fought, howover, In tho south par. of tho town, between a par ty of white men anil a roving band of In dlans In 1758. Ono Captain Humphrey Hoblis, with forly men, was ortlerod from Charleatown, No. 4, through the forest to Fort Shirley, lu Heath, one of. tho frontior towns In Massachusetts. Hie march was mado without Interruption until Hnbbs, at a point twelve miles north-west of Fort Dummer, on a low piece of ground covered with alders, Intermixed with larger trees, whero ho halted lo glvo his mon rest, en countorrtl a parly of Indians under tho command of ono Sackett, a half-breed, de scendant of a captive taken at Westfield, Massachusetts. S.tckctt discovered Hobbs' trail, and endeavored to cut blin off. Hnbbs had carefully posted a guard on his trail, and whifo bin men wero refreshing lliomsclves the enemy came up ajid drove in tho guard. Hnbbs then arranged his men for action, each man selecting his tree Tor a cover. Tho onomy rushed forward, but onlv lo receive a well-directed lire from Hobbs' men, which checked their progress. A sevoro fight ensued. Sackett and Hobbs wero well known to each other. and both woro distinguished for intrepid! ty and courage. Sackett could speak Eng lish, and frequently called upon Hobbs to surrender, threatening to sacrifice his men with tho tomahawk, If ho rofused. Hobbs returned a defiaut answer, and dared bis enemy to put bis threat in execution. Tho fight lasted several hours, and resulted in u vlctorv for the whites, they losing only threo men, while tho Indians are supposed to havo lost heavily. In all battles tbe In dlans mado extraordinary efforts lo con ceal their loss, and to effect this would in cur greater exposuro than in actual com bat. When one fell, tho nearest comrade was Accustomed to crawl up, and undorcov- croTtrccsand brush to fix a tump line to the dead body, and cautiously drag it to tbe rear. Hobbs' men related that in this ac tion thny oaon saw tho dead bodlos of tho Indians sliding along tho ground, as If by enchantment. The Indians killed In this fight wero buried on"Itoblnson Flats," so called, in Iho south part of tho town. In tho early settlement or tho town a villuge grow up on the summit of a hill which rose like a rono in the centre of tho town. "In 17S7 Newrauo was constituted tho shlro town of Windham county, and tho courts wero removod from Weslmin slor, whero they had previously been held and whore, too, tho first blood of Iho Inv olution was shed In tho killing f William Fronch, to "Nowrane Hill," as It was call ed, in Nowfane. From 1790 to 1820 the village consisted of a court-house, jail, meellng-hnuso, acade my tho first academy, by llio way, that Wludham county over saw two stores, two hotels, and a variety or shops, such as wero found In all New England villages at an early flay, nntl about twenty private residences. The village stood upon the summit of tho hill, and afforded a prospect as exten sive and plcltiresquo as any In New FDg- land. From tho summit near tho meet ing-bouse might bo seen- no less than filly townships in Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Ou tho west, "Hay stack," in Wilmington, and "Manick nung," iu Stratton towered above thoridgo of tho Green Mountains, which formed Ihe western boundary or tho county. On tlie north "Ascutnoy" was plainly visible to tho naked eye, and 011 a clear summer day tho "While Hills" In Now Hampshire could be seen by tho aid or a tolescopo, Tho Highlands or Massachusetts, extend ing for a tlistanco of more than eighty mifes from "Stinnapce"' to "Holyoke," wero distinctly visible 011 tbo east, while Monadnock" and "Wachusett," with their cloud capped summits, scorned lo mingle with tho heavens. Along the mar gin of the horizon to (ho south-cast, little was to be seon but a broad sea of moun tain-tops, displaying iu wild disorder, ridge above ridge, aud peak above peak, until tho distant view was lost among the clouds. Such was tho situation of tho "old village ou tho hill," tho first village built in Nowfane. Not a traco of this village iu tho shapo or a building or any kind ro mains to-day ; iudoed, as long ago as 1S00, there was not a building left standing which stood in tbo old vlllago. In 1825 tbe slto or (he public, buildings was changed from "Newfane Hill" to what is now called Fayettovlile, a village two miles east-of the old centre, In tbe valley of tho Wantastlquet river. The prosont silo of tho shlro Is near tho geographical centre or Windham county, and also tho centre or population, and is easy of access from all parts of tho county, Incorporated In Mr. Field's address wero many biographical sketches of prominent citizens of Newfano, who have boon gain orod to their fathers. Chief among thorn woro Luko Knowlton, Gen. Martin Field, Iloswell M. Field, Ward Eager, Marshall Newton, and Gen, V, T.

Sho was tho last woman publicly whipped as a punlsh'mout for crlmo in Vermont, tho law (for the flogging of wo men) bolng repealed soon after sho was whlppod. Many of tbo older citizens or tho town romember this occasiun very dls llnclly. The speakor alto gave an account of a decidedly unique marriage ceremony, By a strango porverslon of legal principles, It was supposed that whoever married a widow who was administratrix upon the esUto of her deceased husband, represented Insolvent, and should thereby possess him self or any property or thing purchased by the deceased husband, would become an executor ite ton tort, and would tboroby make himself ilablo to answer for tho goods and estate or Ids predecessor. A'aj, Moses lev became enamored of Mrs. Hannah Ward, widow of William Ward, wlioilleiT lu 1788, leaving an Insolvent estate, or which Mrs. Ward was administratrix. To avoid tho unpleasant ponaltlos of tho law, on Iho morning of hor marriago with Major Joy, Mrs. Ward placed hovself In u closet. with a tiro-woman, who slrlpr.ed her ol all her clothing, and whon in a perfectly uutlo state sho thrust hor fair, round arm through a diamond hole In tho door of llio closet, the gallant major clasped tho baud of tho buxom widow, and was married In duo form by tho jollleet parson In Vermont. At tho cloto of the ceremony, tbo tire woman dressed tho brtdo In a complete wardrobe which tho major had providod, and caused to be deposited In (be closet at tho commencement of the ceremony. Sho camo out olegautty drcssod in silk, satin and lace, anil thero was kissing all mound. Man as n lroceaslon!et. Tho tendency of men lo herd thomsehes into processions is ono of tho mysteries of human nature, which is only equalled by the tendency of thoso who aro not in the herd to stand In the broiling sun and ad mlro tho othors. Why this should bo so, what peculiar satisfaction tbo man in tho procession derives from it, and what object ho lias In view, aro probloins yet to bo sohed ; and yet it is probably the height or the ambition or every average man lo seo tbo day when be shall go in a procession ; happy If lo can match ou root; doubly happy if bo van carry the Star Spangled Banner or some other banner bearing somo strango device; thrice happy IT ho may rido a horso, terrify tbe women and chil dren with the caracollngs of his fiery char ger and shout hoarsely at his division of tho procession. Ail of this is more re markable from the fact that the procession is but a child's sport, with tho dlfforcnco that tho paper hats have been changed for beavers with feathers iu (hem ; (he lath swords for stoel ones; tho tin pan and whistle for the drum and fife; the red flannel stripe and bit of blue ribbon for a variegated uniform bespangled with jew els and gaudy with tinsel ; and tho stick which tiio leader straddled so gracefully for a livo horso, which the leader, nluo times out of ton, straddles ungracefully. Tho effect or the procession upon tho in dividual hartUy bas a parallel among nat ural phenomena. Your butcher or your shoemaker may be, and probably is, a vory ordinary man ; not blessed with wealth or beanty ; having no soul-cravings or yoarn lng desires for tbe good, the true and tbo beautiful ; tbo owner or a brood or rather ditty and promiscuous children; with an intellect capable of Iho scientific carving or sheep or skilful cobbling of a boot. There Is nothing majestic or awful about hi ai. You would not Invito him to your soiree as a paragon. Indeed, in the morn ing call at your house, your servant re ceives him, and they gossip together In a friendly way. But once array your butch- r in a plug bat and white apron ; (brow an emblazoned crimson scarfabout his mus cular shoulders ; put a boiled shtrt on him and stick a rose in bis button-hole ; hang two or threo tinsel crosses and other orna ments on bis manly breast ; and, If he bo a large butcher, let him carry a banner stuck In a pouch, looking as If it was rooted in his ample corpus, and ho becomes meta morphosed into anothor creature. As be marches along in his stately manner, keep ing time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, to tho tintinnabulation of tho band, ho Is an awful and majestic being, who towers above yon as you stand upon tbe curbstone, and looks down upon you as one of the an culottes. Yesterday bo would havo takon off bis hat to you ; to day, if he sees you at all, ho only sees you as an atom; one or a thousand, admiring him as a magnificent being only equalled as a royal potentate and possibly surpassed by a Sultan in tbo grandeur of his boaring and the gorgeousness or bis apparel. As you retire to your chamber at night with tbo conrused pictures or flags, banners, crosses, swords, aprons, norse-couars, trombones and guns tlltllngbefbre you, tho vision "of this majestic creature appears looming up like Mont Blanc among lesser hills. You rogret now that only yostdrday you vexed bis great soul with complaints about tough beer; that you had threatened thlsawe-in8plringcreaturotodiscbargo this awe-inspiring creature and employ an other. You regret your dullness In not recognizing tbo possibilities lying dormant In him, anTj you mentally resolve to mako your rospects (o him, the-Thrlco Illustrious Prince, or Most Eminent Grand Seigneur, orHigb and Top-Lofty Baron, commanding tho Most Slnnnlng-Kulghts or Pythagoras, and request the pleasuroor eating tough steak thereafter. Thore is ono man in tho procession, how ever, who doos not possoss these attributes. He is tbe last man. It is sad that tliero must bo a last man In a procession ; but it must always bo so, until some way is dis covered or making up the procession iu a circle and then giving It motion like a ro tary shell, turning around his own axis and going straight ahead also. This last man is a weary, worn, patbotio creaturo, who looks as if life, was a burden to him. He Is a rusty, seedy biped, without any good clothes. No stars blaze on bis breast. No banuor shlolds him from tho fiery sun. Ills ear nover bears tbe Inspiring notes of tbo band, lie catches all the dust or tho procession. By-standers rush in front of him with impuulty. Ho has no prldo at all. There Is no pomp about Win, no raaj osty of mien. Jle always looks sick, tired, disbovolled and forlorn. Small boys jeer at him. Bus drivers contemptuously order him out or the way. Backless young mon make desperato ofibrts to drive ovor him. Ho gets mixed up among newsboys, boot blacks, yellow dogs, advertising wagons, ran sellors, drsys aud frantic women rush ing after erratic children and loses (be pro cession, and by tho tittle he rcgalus it ho Is a poor, harrassed,. dojectod man and brother, and an object of universal pity. Tbo chances aro that If ho doos not go otr with sun-s(roko or got run over by an Itso cart nntl liavn to be taken homo In an 0X- press waeon. ho will. as (ho result 01 ms nalbedo situation, get drunk with romark able despatch before sun-sot. nuumsua thero must be a last roan In every proces sion there should bo somo compensation. Ho should be mado attractive. Lot bint bo handsomely decorated and caparisoned. Let him havo on two aprons. Lot lilm carry a banner and have an Amorican flag in bis hat. Lot him alto havo a drawn sword with which to keep off tho small boys and yellow dogs, and thus the last man In the procession will cease to be tho most wretehod object In existence. cvu eago Tribune.
