that surged towards tho massive building at
Sixth avenue and Twenty-third streot woro
larger, tho young girls prettier and, within
the hall, tho oxcitcment, bustlo and confusion
greater than sinco tho fair opened. Somo
ono has said that tho persevering attendants
have not given tholr two weeks to the fair
without good results. Indeed, if one doubts
tho statement, let him run into tho fairy-llko
place of an afternoon or evening. If ho
escapes with his Jiockotbook entire he may
reasonably question the assertion.
Hero is ono of tho many ingenious plots to
fill books and dcploto men's purses. That is.
it looks very much liko a plot. Listen. At
tho foot of tho hall nightly n mastor organist
makes tho walls resound with lively music.
To tho left of tho organ is n narrow passage
leading hotweon two rows of booths. At
each of tho booths on either hand two
demuro-faced maidens take thoir stand.
Then tho organ belches forth its harmonies
and the crowds flock to hear. They pour in
from all directions, tho majority being forced
to And passage through this nariow aisle,
and hero at overy turn inuocont-appearing
faces appeal for charity.
" Can't you givo a chance," is tho plea.
And you say no, as though you meant it, and
then try to pass along. You cannot.

Indeed theso watchers at tho aislo havo

Mythological characters aro supposed to have
Crocked the ancient mariners.
Thero is no diminution in receipts or at
tondance and tho coaxing attendants are just
as bright and pert ana dangerous as ever.
There is no abatement in the voting interests.
Tnc Would is still in tho lead for the oil

thoro are 2,700 females employed, whose
nvcrogo pay is about C8awookeaoh. About
twonty-four hundred of the number aro
engaged in tho groat mills ot tho foot of
West Forty-tllird stroot. Strikes and differ
ences in tho organizations within tho Ordor
of tho Knights of Labor havo occurred oO
various times and camo very near resulting
in a chango for tho worse so far as the

With a fow exceptions all tho hands in tho

which was suspended by tho General Execu
tive Hoard of the order and tho suspension
sustained by tho Goneral Assembly which

It isnow proposed by tho leodors of District
120 to join n now national organization said
to bo forming. The jurisdiction of No. 120 is
oyer all tho carpet weavers in this city ond
vicinity, and includes nearly 10,000 workers.
Tho female help employed in the carpet
mills livo on tho wcBt side, in flats and tene
ments. There iB no complaint about pov
erty from them. A glance at tho bolls and
hops and numerous social gatherings attended
by the weovors will convinco the observer
that they aro among the best dressed women
in tho city. They enjoy .themselves during
their leisuro hours as well as any portion of
tho laboring classes.
Tho homos of nearly all the carpet weavers
are comfortable, ond contain everything that
can be desired in tho way of convenience and
ornamont. Were all tho female workers in as
happy a condition as tho carpot weavers
there would be little or no enforced misery
arising out of low wages and long hours of

Seedsmen Find Work to Do In Winter mm
Well ne la Summer.
" What does the seedsman do in winter ? "
A gentleman conneoted with a prominent
houeo which deals in plant germs', roots,
seeds, bulbs and slips, ropeated this question
of a Wonu reporter tho other day.
, " Thero seems to bo a general impres
sion, which is erroneous," said he, ''that
thero is nothing for tho seedsmen to do at
this season of tho year and through the win
ter, but it is far from being tho dullest season
of tho jroar with them. Itcally, tho only busy
Beason is from March 1 to Juno 10, although
some of tho market gardeners who start their
early vegetables under glass, purchase thoir
stock of seeds ob early as February.
"The very dullest season is in tho middle of
summer, which nature designed for tho
growth and fructifying, and not the germina
tion of vegetable life. During that part of
the year no seeds aro put into tho ground.
Now, howevor, and until the ground is frozen
pretty stiff, there will be considerable for us
to do. We are putting on our stock of now
seeds and selling soino. For instance, we
have already disposed of 40,000 asparagus
roots and will sell many more. Up
to Thanksgiving people Bet, out
bulbs, hyacinths ond crocuses. Currants
berries and grape vines are also set out in the'
fall, and that is the season, too, when the
Jiorennials, daisies, carnations, digitalis, hol
yhocks, cardinal flowers, pansies, petunias,
mignonette,' heliotrope and verbenas ere
sown for early flowering.
"There aro several months of the year
when tho seedsman has much less to do than
those of tho late fall and winter."

"8o interesting, you know, Mrs. Jones,"
said Miss Arabella, who was nothing if not

the last few words of all Miss Spioer's sen

along the North Kiver sido have already beon
secured by tho Christmas-tree speculators for
thoir two weoks' business. In nnothorweek
all tho trees will bo in tho market, and every
ono of theso lots will bocomo a busy mart.
At tfio foot of Chambers street tho dealers
havo been hustling at a lively rato to got
their stock into shapo to catch tho early cus
tomers, ond they havo certainly mado an at
tractive display. On one side of the central
passage-way two or throo Maino men havo
stationed themselves, ond o New York Stoto
man from tho Oatskills holds tho fort on tho
other side. Thero aro trees of all sizes, from
tho little throe ond four foot scrubs up to
twenty-five and thirty foot beauties with
long and gracofully tapering tops. Tho
smaller trees are tied up in bunches of throo
ond fivo each, and aro piled up lougthwiso
liko cord-wood, but tho largo ones aro ploaod
erect against a wooden framowork to keep
them from being injured or broken.
The Christmas troo trado is of such short
duration that city business men do not caro
to go into it at all. It is managed mostly by
tho farmers, who havo comparatively little to
do on their farms at this timo of tho year,
and can oasily find timo for the undertaking.
ThoBo who understand tho ropes can make a
very fair thing out of the business, but not
very much, thoy say, for if they moko a fair
interest on the capital thoy invest in tho busi
ness, and got paid for their labor, they aro
satisfied.
According to ono of tho Catskill men tho
flrst cost of tho treos is about half the ox.
penso of tho undertaking. Thoso who bring
tho trees to the city, go around among the
farmers early in November ond buy up from
each one as many trees as ho will soil off his
land, until they nave as many as thoy think
they can sell. Tho trees cost them on an
avorage fivo to ten cents apiece, mostly
fivo.
Then there is tho labor of trimming thom
and tying thom up in bundles, und the cart
ing and transportation, which mako up the
other half of the expense of gotting them to
market. It costs the Maine speculators still
more to get thoir trees to New York, becauso
the exponso of transportation is greater, but
they do not hove to pay so much for thom,
which makes expenses about even in the end.
The large dealers seldom soil singlo troes.
They dispose of them by the bundlo, or tho
dozen bundles, to smaller dealers, who sell
them at retail. The smallest trees bring at
wholesale 60 or CO oonts a bunch of five, wbilo
the large trees bring from $1 to $2
a bunch for three. The largo single troes sell
at from $6 to 910 apieoe, according to size
and shape. That is early in tho season, when
customers come around to pick out tho best
trees. It always happens that a large num
ber of trees are left unsold towards the end
of the holidays, and then the finest that ro
main are sacrificed at any price, for the farm
ers all want to get homo by New Year's.
They usually manage things so shrewdly that
they get enough profit on their early sales to
covor all expenses, and then all that they
make on their later sales is clear profit.
While the number of treeB from the Cats
kills is less than usual this year, tho quality
is said to be very superior. Some of the tall,
est and most symmetrical trees over brought
into the market are among the Sullivan and
Greene County contributions. Thoy tower
away above the Maino State troes. and it is
observed that the sparrows are patronizing
them almost exclusively and will not roost
on tho Maine trees.
From Maine the contribution is about tho
some as usual, there being no porceptiblo
change in either quantity or qua.ity. The
retailers sell trees from 15 and 20 cents up.
The trees all bolong to tho balsam or bal
sam fir family, with now and then a small
spruce tree mixed in. Tho balsam is the
easiest tree to trim, because its branches aro
flexible and tho needles are not sharp and
prickly.
A great deal of Christmas croon is also sent
down from Maino every year in bulk. Tho
tho aislo and, pausing at the ohanoel steps,
turned to the congregation.
Ab the light fellupon him it was easy to see
that he wos no common man, and that his
was no ordinary face.
He stood a full minuto without speaking,
his hands clasped beforo him.
Those who looked at him saw a man of
slight, well-knit figure, with dark, clean
shaven face, square mouth and chin that
spoke of more than ordinary courage and
resolution, and eye sthat seemed to read the
very soul of any one who met their gaze, no
was very pale, but his voice when lie spoko
rang through the church clearly and dis
tinctly. " My friends," tie said, "we meet here this
morning for the first time in our lives, to
take np the mutual relations of pastor and
flock, and under ordinary circumstances wo
should have taken part in the sorvlco
of our church. But out in the
blinding storm thoro aro human bo
ings, our fellow creatures, face to face
with death, face to face with eternity, and
those df us who are able must go forth and
do what we can to save them. You who aro
not able to render such help, can yet pray for
those who aro, that they may do something
towards rescuing these poor people. Fleabe
God, to-night wo may bo ablo to thank him
for helping us to rescuo thoso who aro now
crying for us to succor 1"
Then Mr. Hemming, who had gained more
goodwill bv that short speech than if he had
preached on hour-lone sormon, wont quickly
out ot the church, followed by the men and
boys and most of the women, whoso agitation
was heightoned by the sound of the gun,
which had begun to boom moro incessantly,
and by the cries that came up from tho beach
below.
Some few remained terror-stricken in the
ohurch ; but most hurried out and followed
the clergyman and his little throng down tho
steep path to the bea.
Once outside the church the wholo scene,
in iu awful terror, burst on tho beholder,
The vessel had struck on the long low
ridge of rooks, towards which she had been
drifting for the last two or three hours : and
the straining eyes of the watchers could seo
dark forms on her deck preparing to lowor
the boats.
The coast-guardsmen on the cliffs were en.
deayoring to fire a rocket across tho wreck,
and on tho beach tho lifoboat was being run
down to the boiling and seething water.
Everything wos in commotion when the
party from the church reached tho scono ;
and a big burly man in a thiok peajacket was
shouting hoarsely for volunteers for the life
boat. " Are you men ?" ho ehouted in stentorian
tones. " Are you men wi wives and childer
o' your own, and coin to stan' by wi' your
queer part of tho thing is that it is made up
In New Jorsey. Whon it arrives here it is
sent down to Eeyport ond that vicinity,
where the wives and daughters of tho farmers
work up o great deal of Jersey Christmas
green, and it is twisted np Into wreaths, stars
ond various other figuros, and woven Into
miles ond mllos of festoons.

the only rational answer to the vexed question Is
that given by somo author whos naino I do not
now recall. "Show mo tho girl," was her brief
comment and In a nay that covers tho wholo
ground. Show mo tho girl aud the boy; let mo
know something ot their tastes, their dispositions,
their habits, their Ideas ot llfo and tho manner In
which they have been reared, for these ato of far
more lmportanco than tho rcspcitlvo axosoftho
parilct).
A tttrl who Is thoroughly seinisli, who has never
learuo I that In sceklug uuolher'a happiness, alio Is
finding her owd, woo looks upon her mother as a
household ilruilgo of whom she Is ashamed, who
dawdles through tho morning In a Mother Hub

arlntint tho uoor, who spends the afternoon In
go-nip and ihe ovonlnir In flirting, is not lit to bo a
wlfo, whether sho be sixteen or thirty. On the
whole, tho chincea aro that tue girl of sixteen will
mako tho hotter wife ot the two, for, as tho twig la
more easily beut than tho shrub, so tho habits of
sl.xtreu aro moro easily changed than thoso of
longer trowth.
But tho puro younir girl who looks upon tho nior
rlago statu ksaomeihliig sacred and nut to tie en
tered Into lightly or unudvlicdly, and to tho puro
young mm who respects all womankind and who
moms what ho says when ho promises to love and
comfort and honor his brldo so long as they both
shall live, I aay most rmpnutleally, marry young,
beforo the formation of hablta aud tastea and
opinions which )ou will find dltllcult to change
aud which must bo changed If lliu matrimonial
wheels run smoothly. Marry, and tu one senio
grow up together, laying aslue solf, and as far us
possible conforming each to tho Mis tics of the
other, remembering alwiys that ho or she who
gives up tho most gains the greater victory.
And just hero lot me repeat an anecdote of a
wlfeot a few t months, who, In tho midst of her
flrst quarrel, was iiBkod by her huabund which
ought to give up llrst, tho man who was ttio head
of tho,woinan, or the woman who was created for

plied: 'Neither the stronger nor the weaker, but
tho one who Iovib tho most. "
llrave words there, and true, and recalled with
bitter tears by the husband who Within has than a
2 ear atood by the Rravo of the young girl-wife who
ad loved the mom.
It Is, I think, an erroneous Idea that early mar
rleges are a hlndranre rather than a help to the
succois In llfo aud the menial development and
happiness of tho parties. Taut this Is sometimes
tho case is true, but I believe that more young men
and girls, too, havo been saved from ruin and
wretihedneBS by un early marriage than havo been
ruined by It. Thero Is something rnsplrltluir and en
nobling In thb possesilon of a homo and a family to
work for and beautily, aud It the girl and boy sto
poor, I Bhould still say. marry yonng and work to.
uothcr for the homo and the competence, which
will bo all the moro tntoyahle bocauao they aie the
result of toll and elf-uculal. Don't wait until you
can afford to begin just where your father und
mother leave off, for then tho frcshncas ot youth
will be gone, aud, although It may bo morning
with you slid, the shades will bo stretched on
towsrds the noonday, and habits will havo been
formed which will bo bard to break, whtlo tho
chances are they will never bo broken at all.
And what prettier Bight Is there than that of a
mother, wedded In early youth and surrounded by
her grown-up children, wno ore iroud that she is
mistaken for their (liter, she is still so young and
fair with the beauty which comes to u restful
middle ago, when the hardships of life aro lett be
hind? That thero are many happy marriages lato in life
I know; but 1 think they aro oltcn contracted on
fiurely business principles. A man who has out
Ived the period when poverty seemed sweet if
shared with the girl ho loved, wants money, and
bo marries the woman who can give It to him, while
the woman who has outlived the treshneis ot her
yonth finds herielt In ono sense alone; or, sho
wants money or position, or a home, or to escape
from the one she has, and she marries from necess
ity rather than cholce.sometlmes finding happiness,
but ofiener tne contrary. I believe, too, that
there are as many mistakes made between twenty
flve and thirty-live as between eighteen and twenty
live; and as I write, my thoughta go back to the
far-off grave of one who, after a brief dream of
bapplnes, had awakened to and her life empty ot
everything which she prized the highest, lletireen
herself and her husbsnd there was no sentiment In
common, nor was one possible. Jle hd his Ideas
and one had hers, and doth wore us widely apart as
the poles. In contrast to this Is the case of an
other friend who was married at thirty-nine to
a man about her own age, and who was and is still
as happy as was ever a btlde of twenty.
And so ono might go on citing Instance alter In
stance on both sides of the question, und the world
would be none the wtser, for although sermons
may be preached and volumes written open the
subject, our young people will still marry when
they please.

Thero was a dead silence. Mon looked at

with unoortain laces ; but no one responded
to the big man's invitation till Mr. Hemming
stepped forward and stood by the two men,
who wero about to confront tho storm.
" I will go with you," ho sold quietly.
Tho big man stared at the slight figure be

Thero was something of incredulity, some
thing of contempt on tho big man's face as
ho looked down on tho man who voltintcerod
to imperil his existonco in tho lifeboat.
"You'll go with us?" ho said. "You're n

you don't know what you're talking about.

Mr. Hemming looked around at the sea
with a glance that took in tho wholo sceno at

A despatch from Tipton states that Ira W.

was one of the heirs to a large amount of valuable
property on statcn Island, N. Y. , formerly owned
by Alexander Potter. "Advices from the sttor

rrop-rty had no title to It or, on account of care
ens uuilnrss hablti, mado no effort to reclaim the
land. It gradually passed Into tho hands of peo

Nearly all tho heirs of lliichanan left New York
and came Weit, and tho fact that tho land still be

until a few yiars ago, when somo ono

O 1 i
Ills I'ay for Expert Dressmakers.
JV.u Vorlt trtlir to rSlladtlpkla iV..i.)
"And what docs all this dressmaking pay the
women who dolt?"
" That depends on Intelligence, as In every other
business. My woman are paid by the plcco, and a
fairly good seamstress on bodlco or skirts earns
from ta to 15 per week. Take this basque, for In
stance, and aho held up something In black molrn
with a green Bilk ve.t When the cutter aud titter
have both done their work, tho woman who finishes
it, buttonholes not included, is paid $3.60. It
doesn't take a long day's work to mako a living at
that rate.
' cotters, fitters and drapers mako better wages,
of course. A cutter earns from $18 up. Fltiors
and drapers are the arlMocrsta of the profession.
Men do most of the cutting for the tailor gowns,
but women cut and fit ail others. No man can
drape a gown as a woman does. Drapers and fit
ters earn In modest establishments from $15 to $30
a week. When they bavo genius they earn more.
A woman who has originality, who can put a new
Idea Into silk or velvet, who can design a success
ful gown, H wortn almost any figure. There are
drapers and designers who are paid $23, $33, $J0,
$60 and $70 per week.
11 Women who bare brains to put Into dressmak
ing, as they put them Into medicine or other pro
Cessions that they are taking up, set np ror them
selves when they know the business ana make for
tunes ot It."
All this In spite of the starvation wages of the
tenement-house sawing woman.
A Modest Ileqneat Grantod.
from Mi WaiMngtm Fil,
A claim agent residing at Leavenworth, Kan.,
recently addressed to tho Pension Bnreau a postal
card bearing the following modest request;
" Please mall mo a copy of pension laws; also
all Information, records, lists of soldiers of the
Mexican war, names of enlisting stations, names
you for this day's work. Kow, lads," ho
wont on, " there's the clergyman and me and
Tom White going to save as many of these
hero women and childer as over wo con. Who
else is coming ?"
A man in the crowd started forward.
"I'll go I" ho said: "there's tho old
woman aud five kids at homo, but hang me
if I stand by and seo a lot o' poor devils
drowned like rats in a rage. I'll go, and God
A'mighty look after tho chlldor if I don't
como back."
And ho jumped in by the vicar's side ho,
known to tho crowd as one of tho biggest
reprobates in Eluisea, a drunkard, on idler,
no good at anything, and yot man enough
not to stand idly by while follow.men
drownod.
It was not much that he ever did for the
" old woman and five kids," but just thon ho
remembered them, aud it may uo that his
mayor thnt " Qod A'mighty might take care of
thom " was as acceptable in heaven as any
petition evor heard thero.
Other men woro not slow in following the
example of tho parson and his mates.
Tho spirit of bravery and daring had been
aroused by the speech and action of the Inst
volunteer, and one by ono six strong, burlv
figures came out from tho excited group, to
join the four men who were tho first to dare
death in order to snvo llfo.
It looked liko certain destruction to which
they were going, and as tho little boat plunged
hero and thero through a raging Biirf woman
burst into loud lamentation and strong men
felt ti thrill of fear run through them.
Up on tho crest of homo giant wave, down
in tho trough of another, so far as to seem as
though it would never rise again, went tho
tiny black dot which carried the precious
lives. Onco it dropped out of sight altogether,
and a hoarse cry went up from tho watchers
on the beach.
"It's gone it's gonol" cried an old
woman, whose hon hud volunteered, aud
who, bareheaded and dripping with rain,
was watching tho boat's progress with strain
lug eyes. It's gouo und he's lost 1 Oh,
my lad mv lad I "
lint at that Instant the boat rose and
floated gallantly over tho crest of a uuvo that
seemed ns though it would overwhelm any
thing that camo in its uiy. Another moment
and it was closo to the wreck. Thon tho
waves aud the blinding spray shut it out
from tho view of thoso upon tho shoro, and a
time of sickening suspcubo followed.
lly.nnil by o shout from the const guards,
men, who wero on the cliffs above, hailed tho
return of tlio boat, which, moro heavily laden
than whon it left tho bench, was slowly but
surely making its way back through the roll. I

were the eager bands stretched out to reeelve
the pour shivering pieces of humanity who
hail been rescued from a fearful death.
Then tho boat sped on to the wreck again,
and again came the watching, and waiting,
and praying, tho Bobbing of women and the
deep concerned tones of the men.
Then after a longer interval tho lifeboat
hove iu sight once more, and tho same scene
ropeated of receiving men and women, more
dead than nlivo, and caring for them in that
warm kindly fashion which is second nature
to dwellers by the sea.
Throo voyages tho lifoboat mnde through
thnt blinding storm, nml at last there came
in the captain of the wrecked vessel and his
mates.
Their own boats had been smashed as soon
as launched, nud tho captain himself was faint
from exhaustion.
Hcarcely less exhausted were the volunteers,
aud many a tuiui btnggored as ho came into
tho little group to be wept over, and hond
shnken. and made a hero of.
Hut thero was yet work to do, and, though
it was work for one only, it was harder and
far more terrible work than any that had been
done that day.
l'or, iu a sudden lull of tho wind, thore
nintj out n cry a tcrriblo cry that was heard
distinctly by thoso on shore.
" Every man's heart stood still, and the men
that had boen in tho lifeboat looked at each
other.
" There's somebody on board yet !" criod
tho big man, who had boen first to volunteer.
" Ood help 'em 1 Tho boat'll never livo in
that sea now."
Tho btorin had iuoreasod iu violence during
the last half hour, and tho soa was litorally
mountains high.
A dense fog had settled over everything,
and hero and there men had lighted lautorns
and wero endeavoring to protect tho mimes
from tho violence of tho wind.
But the wind was rising and falling now,
and in another btidden lull tho shrill cry rang
out agniu through tho btorin. Mr. Ilemming
started forward.
" Lads," ho kaid, "I can't stop here and
hear that cry without responding to it. Givo

"Swim out tothe wreok, sir!" cried the big

Hut tlio vicar was rapidly divesting himself
of his dripping garments, and be asked one of
the men to fasten u rope about bis waist.

" nnd by God's mercy I'll come back. If I
