FRIDAY.. JANUARY 5, 1876. II EI! TKEASIKES. BY MARY AINOE DE TEKE. I keep them in the old, old box That Willie gave me years ago. The time we parted on the rocks; HI ship lay swinging to and fro, At waiting In the lower bay; I thought my heart would break, that day ! "he picture with the pensive eyes Is Willie's ? No', dear, that's young Blake, Who took the West Point highest prize; He went half crazy tor my sake. Here are a lot ot rhymes he wrote. And here's a button olT his coat. Is this his ring? My dearest May, I never took a ring from him ! This was a gift from Howard Clay. Just see, the pearls are getting dim. They Ray that pearls are tears what stuff! The setting looks a little rough. He was as handsome as a prince And Jealous ! But he went to Rome list fall. He's never written since. I used to visit at his borne A lovely place beyond Fort Lee: His mfttlier thought the world ot me ! Oh, no ! I sent his lettcrsback. These came to me from Washington, But look, what a tremendous pack I He always wrote me three for one. I know I used to treat him ill: Poor Jack ! he fell at Cbancellorsvllle. The vignettes all that lot are scalps I took in London, Naples, Nice, At Paris, and among the Alps; Those foreign lovers act like geese. But, dear, they are such "handsome men. We go to France next year, again ! This Is the doctor's signet ring. These faded flowers T Oh, let me see; Why, what a very curious thing ! Who could have sent these flowers to me? Ah ! now I have it Count de Twirl; He married tbat fat Crosblc girl. His hair was red. Tou need not look So sadly at that raven tress. You know the head that lock forsook; You know, but you could never guess ! Nor would I tell you for the world About whose brow that ringlet curled. Whv won't I tell ? Well, partly, child, Because you like the man yourself; But most, because don't get so wild ! I have not laid him on the shelf He's not a bygone. In a year, I'll tell you all about him, dear. Scrlbuer's Monthly. Pilkins as a Benefactor. Pilklns is looking for another office boy. He got a new one last week, but the youth has passed ou to otuer scenes, The boy came to him in answer to an advertisement, lie was neatly dressed, hair combed nicely, and shoes shiny, His annearance was etifracinir, and Pil klns thought as he gazed upon him that he had never before met with a boy who seemed so completely the ideal of what he bad pictured would make him happy every time he had found it necessary to seek youthful assistance through the medium of the newspapers. He asked a few Questions and received satisfac tory answers, engaged the boy on the spot, after examining a specimen of bis penmauslnn, wmcn tue youiu uaa brought with him. It consisted of verse of scripture and looked very neat Everything was in ship-shape, and thi words all properly spelled and punctu ated. Pilkins went home that night a happy man. His heart was buoyant, and he felt ou good terms with the whole human family. He kissed his wile for the first time in two years, gave her a twenty-dollar bill for pin-money, greeted his mother-in-law with much cordiality, and allowed bis baby boy so many sweetmeats lor lea tuat every body in tiie house was kept up all night, taking turns in trotting him around. and skirmishing between the house and tbe corner drug store. Iu the course of a day or two, however, domestic affairs assumed the "even tenor," etc., the household's pride resumed its normal condition, and Pilkins was once more at liberty to seek ImpiiineM within, and many ulr castles did he build, the domes of a. I which upheld statues or the new boy at the ollieu. He resolved that he would be a benefactor and a protector to him; he would win bis confidence, and teach the child to love him. He would give him a good business educa tion, and train him up in his own pro fession, and perhaps, inafteryears, when tbe father's mantle should bave de scended to tbe hero of the sweetmeats, the two might perpetuate the beautiful legend of David and Jonathan, and ce ment in a business union tbe kindred affections of father and benefactor. Pilkins don't think exactly in that strain at the present writing. His feel ings have undergone a siuguiar revolu tion, and, as we remarked iu the outset, he has advertised for another boy. The mightiest events flud birth sometimes in the slightest and most trivial circum stances. The fate of Rome was decided by a flock of gabbling geese; tbe pTos peritv and happiness of Plikin's boy wasj shattered by his murderous spell ing. Had uis ortuograpny been equal to his appearance he might in time have risen to a summit so lofty that tbe eyes or a nation could behold Jilm, and thousands of other boys yet unborn trace out in the sauds of time his foot prints to success. But as he killed his intended benefactor by assassinating the lexicon, his biographer will be likely to have au easy time of it, and if any of , his tracks are ever lound tuey will In all probability be discovered deeply im bedded in the mud of obscurity. The duties iuto which the new boy was installed were manifold, but his success was fully up to the average in most of them. After he had been on triel two or three days, Pilkins laid be fore him a large pile or bills and iu voices, and explained how he wished them folded upinacertamshape.ofuni form size, and aslight indication of their contents written across tue end. The boy said he comprehended the idea, and set to work with a vim that caused his kind-hearted employer to pat him on tbe head and remark that he was a good boy andjdeserved to get on iu the world. About this time Pilkins was called outof the office aud didn't return for a couple of hours; when he did so, he found the task completed aud tbe boy anxious to submit the work for the approbation he felt sanguine it would receive. Pilkins talked patronizingly to tbe youngster while he wiped his glasses, but as soon as he bad put them on and taken one square look at me papers oeiore him, his suavity of manner ceased to be ex cessive. His brow darkened and his voice grew terrible as his eye quailed before such inscriptions as "frate bile on sum shooger," "pade for vittles and uther things," "bile on kole bot fur bows," "bile on a mann ho pute sum glas inter the orfiss winders," "pade fur flxen karridge," "bile fur sum close fur missus pilkuns," "munney give tew a nlggore fur wotleren thee streats," "bile fur ate baruls uv pertay turs." There was one brief, fleeting moment in which rtlKins might have been knocked down with a feather, but in the next instant ho brought his clennhoH fist down on the delk with tbe force of a trip-hammer, splitting tbe panel, up setting the ink-stand over tbe new ledger, and sending thiugs spinnlug over the flour, while he poured forth ejaculations reproachful, indgnaut and profane. Then he turned upon his shattered idol, 'seized him by the ears, lifted him up about three feet above tbe floor, brought him down with all tbe emphasis he could master, and bode him begone from his sight. "You blasphemous little wretch!" he yelled, "I couldn't have believed tbat any human being outside of Topnet could bave spelled bo infer- nally wickedly and maliciously as you bave stumbled upon. You are a wblted aepuicner 01 tue most lniamous descrip tion; to tbe eye you appear mild, harm less and even pleasing, but with a pen In your nana you could devastate tue world, and turn the life of a saint into one horrid, crazing nightmare. The Bible itself, in your spelling, would shake Christianity to its base, and make men lunatics. You are a fraud and a delusion; a pitfall and a snare; as un grateful as Satan, and as much to be dreaded as the seven plagues. You will grow up to be a house-breaker and a body-snatcher, and nothiutr but tbe school-room can save you from the gal- iows. .Leave me: uiear outl vamoose! before I strangle you! Run as fast as you can for the nearest school-house! Study, day and night, late and early ait tne time ana try for heaven's sake with all your might to overcome tbe base instincts that seem to have been porn in you. Never be caught without your spelling-book, for it is your only salvation. Try hard, prayerfully ana unceasingly, and vou mav. Dosaibly. by a hair's breadth, circumvent the terrible late wnicn now seems to be inevitable. Git! and never let me set eyes on you again tin you can outspeii Webster mm self, or I shall shoot you on sicht." Ana tnis is now it comes that .riiKins wants another boy. No bad spellers neea apply. unicago meager. Oharacter. Character is a fortune. It pays a bet ter dividend than bank or railroad stocks The young man who goes forth in the world with an unimpeachable charac ter, can never sutler permanent defeat. The blows which be receives from bis antagonists will bound back from such a character, aud all the injury they in flict will be upon him who gives them. In every emergency it is the man of character who is sought. Those lack ing this beautiful jewel may for a time crowd themselves forward, and so long as nothing of importance is at stake, be permitted to enjoy prominence in state and social affairs; but when the crisis comes, when government is threatened, when society is menaced, when it is a special honor to be prominent, character is scrutinized, and only lie whose char acter is spotless is selected to lead. At such times, brilliant reputations lado as the meteor fades, and their pos- sessors find tbat reputation is one thing and character quite auother. They then regret tbat this important difference had not been thought of before. But tbe world seems to learn little from these lessons which individuals so ofteu learn under severe circumstances. Tbe world, as a rule, is careful of its reputation. The question is not what I am, but what will the world think of me? With a. knowledge of the advan tages or character, may every young man who reads this, strive to live iu such a way tbat he can respect himself. and be utterly regardless, so long as he is right, or the opinion or the world. Women's "Work. Mrs. Robert Dak Owen asserts that more than half the work of the world is performed by worn en. She thinks that woman's work is not estimated in the expense of Iiv ing. Every thousand dollars in money mat comes into a nouse has two thous and added to it by her labor.. All this vast amount of domestic work has to be done, and ought to be done well. There is no reasou why it should not be held in as high estimation as esthetics, or wny it snould not, be thought quite as respectable; and the only way to make u 60 is to preacn it up as uuving a pecu niary and intrinsic value and to make every girl feel upon leaving school that she ought to select at once some life work for herself, and uuless she has some peculiar talent in another direc lion, domestic labor is as high and as "elevated as any. No young woman should be willing to marry unless she is able to support herself, and can feel that she does not choose a husband that she might become a dependent. She does not approve, however, of married women earning their own living. She thought it would ruin all the men in America if their wives supported themselves; thei domestic duties, properly performed were enough for them to do, aud should be recogutzed at their proper value. In California women were made elitri ble to the offices of school trustee by a law passed at the session of the legisla ture previous to the last ; but the last legislature repealed the law. It had a Democratic majority: but we are un willing to accept this fact asau adequate explanation of this petty meanness. Let us rather suppose that the greed of office is so strong in the masculiue na ture tbat it could not afford to lose the chance of a single honor even tbat which brings distinctiou to the male possessor of the office of school trustee New Age. When a Bishop at a public meeting in England asked Professor Huxley, sneeringly, "Does tbe learned scientist really wish us to believe that he is de scended from an ape ?" the sharp rebuke was auministereu oy Huxley, "I had rather be related to an ape than to a Bishop of the Church of Euglaud who can so misrepresent the votaries or sei euce i" A clergyman's widow gave this ad vice to a young lady friend the other day: "jane, u you ever marry a minis ter, marry one wuo iu an emerirouev has enough of the grace of God in his heart to go from tbe pulnlt to the kitchen and pare the potatoes for dinner wimout growling."
