AN APPEAL
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
Time strikes the hour' for the brave and the true!
Now, while theforcmost are flghtiig and falling.
Fill up the ranks that have opened for you !
You whom the fathers made free and defended,
Stain not the Scroll that emblazons their fame !
You wh0se fair heritage spotless descended,
Leave not your children a birthright of §humel
Stay not for questions whileFr‘eedom stands gasping!
Wait not till Honor lies wrapped in his pull! .
Brief the lips’ meeting he, swift the hands’ clasping,
“ Off for the wars 1" is enough for them all.
Break from the arms that would fondly caress you!
Hark! ’tis the bugle-blast! sabres are drawn !
Mothers shall prayjor you, fathers shall bless you,
Maidens shall weep for you when you are gone!
Never or now! cries the blood of a nation, .
Poured on the turf where the red rose should bloom;
Now is the day and hour of salvation— '
Never or now! peals the trumpet ofidooml
Never or now! roars the hourse-throated cannon
Through the black canopy blotting the skies ;
Never or now! flaps the shell-blasted pennon
O‘er the deep ooze where the Cumberland lies !
From the foul dens where Our brothers are dying,
Aliens and foes in the land of their birth,
From the rank swamps where our martyrs are lying
Pleading in vain for a handful of earth; '
From the hot plaiuswhcre they perish outnumbered,
Furrowed and ridged by the battle-field's plough,
Comes the loud summons ; too long you have slum-
bored,
Hear the last Angel-trump—chcr or New !

A fisherp‘er it bent,
Watching his angle heedfully,
Most cnnningly intent.
When, as his ready line he threw.
Across the surface light,
Upon the dimple depths there grew
The form of lady bright.
She spake to him, and sang the while,
‘ ‘ Lurest than my brood away?
By human wit and human wile,
Their tinny. skins to day!
Knew’st thou how ’neath their wat’ry sky, ‘
As thou ’neath thine of air,
The fishy folk their loves enjoy,
Thou, too, would’st soon be there!
Seest thou not that the moon still hath
0n sea her toilet mode? '
How bravely from the morning bath
The sun comes out arrayed!
Doth it not charm thee down to poor
In the water-lighted blue,
0n thine own form reflected here
-From the everlasting dew!"
The water well‘d and rippled by.
Lapping his naked feet, .
He gazed on the lady wistfully,
‘ So fair she seemed and sweet.
_ His senses fled nmain.
He mingled with the wat’ry flow,
And ne‘er was seen again.

Good leg, thou wast a faithful friend.
And truly hast thy duty done,

Strange paradox! that in the light
Where I of thee was thus bereft,

And yet the right’s the one that’s left.
But while the sturdy stump remains
I may be able yet to path it,
For even now I’ve taken pains

THE TIN SAVING BANK.
A Tale for. Hard Times.
I. i‘. E.
BY HORATIO AILGER, JR.
.——_
Charles Lynford s a good mechanic
in good business. t the'uge Of twenty
six he had taken to himself a wife Car-
olina Eustice, the daughter of a neighbor
who had nothing to bring to him except
her own personal merits, which. were
many; aud'habits of thrift learned in an
economical household, under the stern
teachings of necessity.-
It was well, perhaps, thpt Charles Lyn-
ford should Obtain a wife of this pharac-
fer, since he-himself found it very difficult
to save anything from his incomé.
It was not long before Caroline became
acquainted with her husband’s failing.—
She could not feel quite easy in the knowl-
edge that they were living fully up to
their income foreseeing that a. timp would
expensive and perhaps her husband’s bus-
iness, though now flourishing might be-
come less so.
Accordingly, one day she purchased
of a tin pedlar who came to the door, a
little tin safe,_such as children frequently
use as a savings bank. This she pinesd
conspicuously on the mantle piece,'so that
her husband might be sure to see it on,
entering. .
“Hello, Carrie, what's that, eh?” he
asked curiously. '
said his wife.
“But what is it meant for ?”[he asked
again. '
“Let me illustruae,” said his wife play-
fully. “Havé you a ten cent piece about
you i” -
Charles drew a dime from his waistcoat
pocket. His wife taking it from his band
dropped it into the box through a little
'slit at the top.
Charles laughed. ' ..
“So you have taken to boarding, Car-
rie? My little wife becomes a miser.”
"‘No; only a little prudent! But seri-
ously, Charles, that is what I Want you
to do every night.”
"What—drop a dime into this new
faugled arrangement of yours?”
“Exactly.”
“Very well, that will be easy enough.
know what you are going to do with this
newly commenced board 3”
“Lay it by for a rainy day,” answered
Caroline.
Charles laughed merrily.
“And what will a dime a day amount
come when their family would grow more '
“Only a little purChase. I made today,” ‘
A dime is no great sum. "But may I.
“In a year it will amount—” commenc-
ed his wife, seriously—
“Oh I never mind ; spare me the cal-
culationl .It sounds to much like busi.
ness and I have enough of that during
the day.
“But you dont object to my plan?”
“th in the least. I have no doubt it
is- very prudent and commendable, but
you know Carrie, I never was gifted
with such prudence.”
“I am quite aware of that,” said his
wife smiling.
This ended
time.
The plan inaugurated by the young
wife was steadily .carried out. She was
not one of those (of whom. there are so
many) who enter upon a new plan zeal-
lously, but soon tire of it. In the pres-
ent case she was thoroughly satisfied of
the wisdom of her purpose, and resolved
to carry it through Every morning she
called upon her husband for a dime, and
every morning it was added to the. accu-
mulation. Frequently he had not the
exact change but would toss her a quarter
the' conversation for the
ingly, that it would answer her purpose
just us well.
More than once Charles batered her
on the subject of her savings bank.' This
she bore gully. ‘
But these were not the only accessions
the fund received. _ Her husband had
early arranged to make her ample allow-
once for dress—I say ample, though I
dare say some of my city readers might
not have considered it so; but Caroline,
who was in the habit of making her own
dresses provided herself with a good ward-
robe at a much less expense than some
not so well versed in the science of man-
aging could have done. .
After considerable calculation, she
come to the conclusion that out of her
allowance shfiould be able to make a
daily deposit equal to that which she had
exact’ed of her husband. Of this, how-
ever, she thought best ou the whole not
to inform Charl es,;enjoyiug in . anticipa-
tion the prospect of being able at ,some
future time to suprise him with the unex-
pected amount of her savings.
At the close of every. month the tin
box was emptied, and the contents were
transferred to a saving bank of more pre-
tentious,where interest would be allowed.
When the sums deposited became lirgc
enough Mrs. Lynford, who had ccusider-
. able business capacity, withdrew them
and invested in bank and other stocks,
which would yield a larger per cent. Of
her mode of management her husband re-
mained in complete ignorance. Nor did
he ever express any desire to be made ac-
quainted with his wife’s management —-
He was an easy careless fellow, spendi
as he went, enjoying the present and 11*
feeling any particular concern abOut the
future.
At the end of eight years, during which
"be had '
perity in businessand uninterrupted health
his books showed thathe had not exceed-
ed his income, but that, on the Other
hand he had saved absolutely nothing.—
Twenty five cents stood to his credit.
“Running" pretty close,uin’t it Carrie?”
“I take credit to myselfithough, for keep-
ing on the right side ,of the line. But
then I suppose have saved up an im-
mense sum.” §
“How much 0 you suppose?” asked
his wife. ‘
“Oh, perhaps a hundred dollars,” said
Charles Lynford carelessly “though it
would take a good many dimes .to make
that l” '
His wife smiled, but did not volunteer
'to enlighten him as to the correctness of
his conjecture.
So things went on till at length came
the great panic of 1857—1: panic so re-
cent that it will be remembered how uni-
versally trade and business of every kind
were depressed at \this period—among
others the trade which occupied Charles
Lynford suffered.
One evening he came home looking
quite serious—nu expression which sel-
dom came own his cheerful face.
Caroline, who had watched the signs of
the time, was not unprepared to see this.
She suspected that her husband’s business
would be affected.
“What is the matter, Charles?” she
asked-cheerfully. °
The matter is that we shall have to
economize greatly.
“Anything unfavorable turned up in
business matters?”
I should thing there had ; I shall have
but half a day’s work for some time to
come and I am afraid .that even this will
fail before long. You huv’nt an idea,
Carrie, how dull-business of every kind
has become.”
“I think I have,” said his wife quietly.
I have read 'the papers carefully, and
have been looking out for something of
this kind.” j
“Do you think‘wo can reduée our ex-
peuses one half?” asked her husband
doubtfully.
“I think we shall be able to do so.—
Both of us are well supplied with cloth-
inmond Shall not need any more for a
year at least. This will cut oil consider
able expenses. Then there are a great
many little superfluities you are accustom-
ed to buy,little_things you are kind enough
to bring home to me frequently, which I
to?” he inquired.
coil do very well without. Then we can
instead. She would assure him, laugh- ‘
unusually favored by pros- '
live more plainly—have less pies and cake
4and I have no doubt it will be an im-
provement as for as health is concerned.”
said her husband, feeling considerable
easier in mind. I really think after all
you have said, that it won’t be so hard
to live on half 'our'usual income~ for the
present, at least. For,-’ and his counte-
nance again changed “suppose my work
should entirely fail, I suppose you couldn’t
reduce our expenses to nothing at all,
could you?”
“That certainly surpasses my powers,”
said his wife, smiling, but even in that case
there is no ground for discouragement.
You have not forgotten our savings
bank have you?
“Why, no, I didn’t think of that,” said
her husband. “I suppose that would
keep of? starvation for a few weeks.”
His wife smiled.
"And in those few weeks,” 'she added,
“business might revive.”
“To be sure,” said her husband.—
“Well,I guess it will be all right—I’ll try
not to trouble myself about itfany longer.
The apprehensions to which Charles
Lynford had given expr:ssiou proved to
be only too well founded. in less thaua
month from the date of the conversation
just recorded, the limited supply of work
which he had been able to secure failed
and he found himself without work of
any kind, thrown back upon his own re-
sources.
Although he had anticipated this, it
seemed unexpected when it actually did-
come upon him, and again be returned
home in 0. fit of discouragement. He
briefly explained to his wife the new cal-
amity which had come upon them.
“And the worst of it is,” he added,
“there will be no better times till spring.”
“Do you think the business will revive
then."
“It must by that time; but there are
five or six months between. I don’t
know how we are going to live during
that time?” '
“I do,” said his wife quietly.
“You i” exclaimed her husband in sur-
prise.
“Yes, your- income has never‘been more
than six or seven hundred-dollars a year,
and I have no doubt we can live six
months for two hundred and fifty dol-
lars. ' -
“Yes certainly; but where is that mou-
ey to come from? I dout want to run in
debt, and if I did I shouldn’t know where
' to borrow.”
“Fortunately, there is no need of it,”
said Mrs. Lyuford. “You seem to forget
our little savings-bank.”
“But is it possible it can amount to
two hundred and fifty dollars!” exclaimed
Charles in surprise.
“Yes, and six hundred more.” said his
wife.
“Impossible.”
“Wait a minute and I’ll prove it.”
Caroline withdrew a moment, and re-
appeared with several certificates of bank
and railroad shares, amounting to eight
hundred dollars, and a bank book, in
which the balance was deposited toiher
credit.
“Are you quite sure you havn’t had a
legacy?” demanded Charles in amazement.
Surely a“ dime a day has not produced
this Y”
“NO; but two dimes a day have, with
a little extra deposit, now . and then. I
think Charles, we shall be able to ward
off starvation for a time.”
"All this I owe to your prudence,” said
Charles, gratefully. “How can I repay
you I"
Charles, Lyuford remained out Of em-
ployment for some months. But in the
spring, as be anticipated, business revived
and he was 'onee more in receipt of his
old income. More than two-thirds of the
fund was still left, and henceforth Charles
was no less assidious than his wife in stri-
ving to increase it.
The little tin savings-bank still 'stauds
on the mantle-piece, and never fails to re-
ceive a deposits daily.
