THE HOUEST BEGOAR BOY.
IT.0M THE GEEttAX.
poor boy about ten yenrs npocn
tcrtd the w aroliouso of a rich mer
thant, Samuel Uichter, in Duntzic
nnd anktd the bookkeeper for alms.
"You will get nothing hero said
thft marr. without raisincr Ins Lead
from hi book ''be olf."
AVcepinp; bitterly, tho boy glided
towards tho door, at tuat xnomcnt
If err ltichter entered.
' " What is tho matter hero?" ho ask
ed turninrr to tho bookkceBor.
"A worthless bepgar-boy," was
tlio mans answer, autl ho Bcarcely
looked from his work.
In the meanwhilo, Ilerr Rich tot
rrlanoed toward the boy, aud remark
ed that when close to the door, that
ho Mckod tin Pomcthincr.
i' Ha, iny littlo lad, what is that you
picked upr he cried.
.Tho weejiin boy turned and show
ed him n needle.
44 And what will you do with it?"
nsked the other.
" My jacket has holes in it," was
the reply. " I will sew tho bi otiea."
Ilerr Jkiclder was plensod w th the
reply, and "still nigro with the Lay's
innocent, handsome face.
Hut aro vou not uthamed," said
ho, in a kind though serious tone,
'you are so yountr, and hearty to
beL'? Can vou not work?"
" Ah, tnv dear sir," replied th boy,
'I dn not know how; und I am too
little yet to thresh or fell wood.' My
father died . three weeks nim, and my
poor mother and littlo brothers liavo
eaten nothiiier for two day. Then I
ran out in ariUih and begged lor
bread. But alas, a single peasant only
gavo me a piece of bread; 1 havo eat
en nothing elso."
It is customary for beggars by trade
to "contrite tales like this; and this
hardens many a heart ugainet the
claims of genuine want.
5ut this time the merchant trusted
tho boy's honest face. He thrift his
hand into his pocket, drew forth a
piece of money and said: "There is
half a dollar: go to tho baker's and
with half the money buy bread for
jourself, yiur mother, und your bro
thers, but bring the other half to mo."
The lxty took tho money aud ran
joyfully away.
Well," said the Furly bookkeeper,
"ho will laugh in his sleeve and never
como back again."
" Who knows?" replied Ilerr Tlich
tor: and as he spoke ho beheld the
boy returning quickly, with a loaf of
bread in one hand and bomo money
in (lie other.
"There, good sir," ho cried almost
breathless: " here is the rest of tho
money." " ' ' ,
Then, being very hungry, ho beg
ged fur a knifo to cut a piece of bread.
The bookkeeper reached him in si
lence his pockct-knifo.
Tho lad cut oir a slice in great haste,
and was about to take a bito of it,but
suddenly ho bethought himself, laid
tho bread aside, folding his arms, re
hearsod a silent prayer; then ho fell
to his meal with a hearty appetite.
Tho merchant was moved bythoboy'&
unallotted piotyt Ho inquired alter
his family and homo, and learned from
his simple narrativo that his father
had lived in a small village about l
miles distant from Dantzio, where ho
owhod a stuall houso and -farm; but
his house had -Wen ' burnt to the
ground, and much sit kness in his fam
ily had compelled him to tll the
farm.
Ho had then hired himself out to a
rich neighbor: but before three week
were at an thd honied, broken j tlown
bv irrief nnd oxecssivo toil. And now
"his mother, whonrsorrow had thrown
upon it bed of sickness, was with her
four'children iutf.Ttng 'the bitterest
poverty.' He, the oldest, had resolved
to seek assistance, and had gone from
houso to house, then he had como to
DantzicV. The nu rchant's heart was
touehefl II had ' bnt one child, and
the loy appeared t him ns a druft at
sight, whith Providence had drawn
upon him as a test of his gratitude.
" Listen, my son," he began, "havo
you really a wish to learn?"
" Oh, yes, I havo indeed. I havo
road tho catechism already, and I
should know, a good. deal more, but at
homo I had to carry my littlo broth
ers while mother was sick."
Ilerr liichtcr'a plan was immediate
ly, formed. . v , " i I, !
" Well, then," ho said, "if you are
honest, I will tako care of you, you
shall learn,' hate meat,; and, drink, and
clothing, and in time earn something
besidos. Then you can support your
mother and brothers also."
. Tho boy's eyes Hashed with joy,but
in a moment ho cast them down and
said: ' "My mother all tho while 'has
nothing to eat."
At this instant, as if sent by Provi
dence, an inhabitant of the boy's na
tive villuga entered tho store aud con
tinued tho lad's story.-j .,..'
II o willingly consented to carry the
mother tidings of her son Oottleib,
and food and a email sum of money
from tho men liant. At tho same time
Herr Ifichter directed his hookkoejter
to writo a letter to the pastor of thp
village, commending tho widow to his
care, with an' additional sum enclosed
to the poor family, and promising fur
ther assistance. ' '
As eoon as this was dono, Herr
Ri'ddcr furnished tho boy with decent
clothes, and' at noon led lilm'to his
wife, whom ho accurately inforiued of
littlo Oottleib si story, and of the plans
which ho had formed for him. ' Tho
food woman readily ' promised her
test assistance, in the latter, and sho
faithfully kept her word. '
During tho noxt four years Oottleib
attended the schools) of tho-groat com
mercial city; then his faithful foster
father took him into his counting-room
to cdncnto him for business.
At tluo writing-deck as well ns on
tho echool-bench, TiTening youth di
played himself, not only by Ids natu
ral capacity, but by tho faithful indus
try with which he exercised it.
Of his W4Hklv allowanco ho sent
tho half regularly to hia mother, un
til she tlied, after having survived two
of his brothers. Sho had passed the
last of her life, not in wealth, it is
true, but by tho aid of tho nobloIZieh-
ter and of her son, in a condition
above want.
After tho death of his dearly bo
loved mother, he had no other friend
except his beucfuctor. Out of lovo to
him he Iweamo an activo zealous mcr
chant. Ho began by applying tho su
periluity of his cllowanee, which ho
could r,ow dispose of, to a trude in
n..ir;'unuill4.
W hen by taro and prudir.ee ru
gained one hundred ond twenty dol
Jars, it happened that 'he found in his
native village a quantity oi Lax and
hemp, whw-h wus verv good and still
to Lo had at a reasonable pricu. He
akod Iih foster-father to advance him
two hundred dollars, which he did
with great readiness; aud the businefs
prcsperca so well that, in ino thou
year of his clerkship, Oottleib had al
ready acquired tho sum ol live Jmn-
ireil dollar'1. t ltliout giving up Lis
trad he now trallirkcd in linen got ids;
and the two combined, made him in it
couple yearn, alout one tlkousand dol
lars richer. This happened during" tho
customary five years of clerkship; at
tho end of the period, Oottleib con
tinued to servo his benefactor five
years more with industry and skill;
then he took the pluce ot tho book
keeper w ho died about this time, three
years after ho was taken a9 a partner
by his benefactor, with a third part of
the piotits. 80011 a dittoubo eust Herr
Kit liter on a bed of sickness, nnd
kept liiiu confined to his couch two
years. UotUoii), redoubling ins exer
tions, became the soul of the whole
business. Ilerr I'ichtcr closed his
eyes in death iu the sixty-sixth year
of his age. In the year lh'JJ, ten years
alter, the house of Oottleib Item own
ed three large ships, and tho caro of
1 rovidc nee seemed especially to watt h
over the interests of their owner. lie
married tho daughterof his benefactor.
It is but 11 few yeurs since this child
of jxivcrty, of honest industry, and of
misloi tune, passed away in peacofrom
this world.

There is a simple-minded, good-heait-

" ThcVe are exceptions to that?" ;
" In course and number of Vm. t

" More flowers than monuments?"
" Can't say that. Uealdeep feel in

dying is as nateral as liviii', and iu
course people gets over it.. Therefore
it is that monuments como up with

The rennyhanm Gaidtt. edited, by

In its prostcetiis, Franklin announces
his intention to make it a good reada

, t Howf tho Tariff Worka. '
Say tho . cost of making a yard of
cotton cloth is eight cents, tho tariff is
six cents ptr yard. An English ves
sel arrives " l'oston freighted with
cotton cloth. The owner steps on
shoro and ' inquires w hat tho 'duty is.
He is told that it is'six cents per yard.
This'cdded.to'the original 4-ost of.'Iiis
cliith, -makes it cost him fourtien -ecntsi,
'and tho expensesof bringing it across.
the AtUntic 0110 cent more, so that,
when ho. gets . into market with bis
cloth, ho is obliged to chargo fifteen
cents per yard to get his money back,'
and to make any profit he , will havo
o charge seventeen cents) a. yard, for
his cargo. :.'A Lowell manufacturer
steps up and oilers his goods, just- as
good, lor fifteen cents, two cents less
than tho importer can sell at ; and the
result is, the importer withdraws his
bills from tho custom .houso and . d,
parts with his cargd. He pays no
duty to the. Government, and yet the
man who buys tho Low ell man's cloth
pays seven cents per yard moro than
it would havo .cost him had there, not
been n duty on it. . And tho Lowell
man ' jackets the amount. . llq gels
tho lariU", . and not tho Government.'
This is no fiction ; it is exactly the case.
IlencPj'we derive no .revenue . from
this clati of oods, the duty being
prohibitory p. and yet, the consumers
tho farmer and t-ho laborer pay
sovoii rents tax on every yard of cot
ton cloth they, buy, end it all goes to
tho manufacturer. Hcnco tho .high
prico of cotton goods, ami yet not a
cent of this additianiel' prico goes to
pay tho public debt This will hold

uses 00 all his implements of wood,;
