A Drover and “Child.
A TOUCHING STORY. .
My name is Anthony Hunt. I am a dro-
ver, and I-live miles and miles away upon
the westeruprsiric.
One day about ten years ago, I went away
from home to sell some fifty head of cattle—
fine creatures as I ever saw. I was to buy
some groceries and dry goods before I came
back, and above all, a doll for our youngest
Dolly. She had never had a store doll of
her own, only the rag babies her mother had
madeher.
Dolly . could talk of nothing else, and
went down to the very gate to call after me
to “ buy a big one.” Nobody but a parent
could understand how full my mind was of
sold, the first thing I hurried 011' to buy
Dolly’s doll. I found a large one, with eyes
that would open and shut when you pulled
a wire, and had it wrapped in paper and
tucked it under my arm while I had the
parcels of calico and delsine and tea and
sugar put up. Then, late as it was, I started
for home. It might have been more prudent
get back and eager to heal-Dolly’s prattle
about her toy.
I was mounted on a steady-going old
horse of mine, and pretty well loaded.
know of. I could have felt my way, though,
I remembered it so well, and I was doing
so, almost, when the storm that had been
brewing broke, and pelted the rain in’ tor-
rents, while I was yet five or six miles from
home. . - . I
I rode as fast as I could, but all of a and-
den I heard a little cry like a child’s voice;
I stopped short and listened—I heard it
again. I called and it answered me. I
couldn’t see a thing; all was dark as pitch.
I got down and felt about the grass—called
again, and again was answered. Then I be-
gan to wonder, I’m not timid, but I was
known to be a drover and to have money
about me.» It 'might be a trap to catch me
unawares and rob and murder me.
I’m not superstitions—not very. But how
could a real child be _out on the prairie in
such a night, and at such an hour. It might
be more than'human.
The bit of a coward that hides itself in
most men showed itself to me then, and I
was half inclined to run away, but once
more I heard that cry, and said I :—
“ If any man’s child is hereabout, Anthony
Hunt is not the man to let it die.’
' I searched again. At last I bethought me
of a hollow under the hill, and groping that
way, sure enough, I found'a little dripping
thing that moaned and robbed as I took it
in my arms. I called my horse, and the
beast came to me, and I mounted, and
tucked the little thing under my cost as well
as I could, promising to take it home to
mummy. It seemed tired to death, and
pretty soon cried itself to sleep against‘my
bosom. .
It had slept there over an hour when I
saw my own window. There were lights
' in them, and I supposed my wife had lit them
for my cake, but when 'I‘ got to the door
yard I saw something was the matter, and
stood still witha deed fear at heart, five
minutes before I could lift the latch. At
bore, and my wife amidst them weeping.
When she saw me she hid her face. “Oh,
don’t tell him," she said, “ it will kill him.”
“ What is it, neighbors,” I cried.
And one said, “Nothing new, I hope—
what’s that in your arms 1’”
“A poor, lost child said I. I‘found it on
the road." I lifted up the sleeping thing
and saw the face of my own child, my little
Dolly.
It was my darling and none other that I
had picked up on the drenched road.
Mylittle child had wandered out to meet
“ daddy” and the doll, while her mother was
at work, and they were lamenting her as
one dead. I thanked Heaven on my knees
before them all. It is not much of a story,
neighbors, but _ I think of it often in the
nights, and wonder how I could bear to live
now if I had not stopped when I heard the
cry for help upon the road, the little baby
cry, hardly louder than a_ squirrcl’s chirp.

A RuvoleoN m Wanna—The Bos-
ton Commercial Bulletin calls attention to a
small but valuable machine, which promis~
Cs to work a .thorough revolution in the
process of weaving. It is the Earuehaw
loom, invented by J ohu Barnabsw, formerly
of Lowell, and is adapted for wesviugof all
kinds of fabrics, though specially fitted for
making narrow goodsat high speed.‘ Its
for weaving three-inch goods, occupies only
one cubic foot of space, and costs only $140.
It is run at the rate of only 000 double picks
per minute—equal to 900 in ordinary weav-
ing. One loom can do the workof a gang
of 20 shuttles, and one girl can tend 20
looms; in one day, with these 90 looms, she
can weave 0,000 yards .of these narrow
goods. This loom is constructed on' the
principle of the sewing-machine, and is fed
with an endless filling; when the thread
breaks the loom stops. .

SMITH“ GOOD LUCK.
I was always a lucky fellow, and the most
fortunate thing that ever happened to me
was being born a Smith. ' Listen:
Three years ago I had been jilted, and
was out of money. That doesn’t sound
lucky, but it was a prelude to the best of
luck. I concluded to go into the country,
dowu‘fo my uncle’s house—partly that the
murmur! of the see might soothe my in-
. ward perturbation, partly to save a month’s
board.
I stepped on board the early down train.
It was full of six o’clock passengers, mostly
men. The sun was shining on the water,
but the fog was hugging the banks, and
clinging to the burnished surface of the
title. I suppose it.\ poet could have made
something pretty out of the sight, but I only
wrapped myself in my overcoat and looked
. at it sulkily. After a while I got listening
to two men who sat behind me.
“ A pretty girl with a fortune is not always
to be had for the asking."
“ Oh, but the girl isn’t asked, I take it.
It’s all arranged by her aunts. She’s shining
pretty, but a mere child—not sixteen, I be-
lieve. They had another fellow booked for
her, but he died down in New Orleans of
the yellow fever last fall.” .
“ And she'snever seen-this Smith.”
“ No, nor they either, The aunts plotted
with Mr. Dunbar, the guardian, and he
picked Smith .up for them, opened a cor-res.
pondonce, and got Rose to write a letter or
two. Smith professes to be in love with her
letters and her picture; but of course it's
the money—forty thousand if she marries
before she is seventeen." .
“ If the girl amounts to anything it’s a
deuced shame i" . '
“She docsgf amount to something. She
has the making of a splendid woman in her,
but nobody knows it or cares. They are
bent only on saving the money for her. If
she forfeits it,-?it goes to some pct charity of
her crazy old grandfather’s. He was always
an old tyrant; and as eccentric as the d—l.”
“ You know Smith?" ,
“ Only by sight,_but I know a chum of
his, Burton, and got the story, with a copy
of a letter of the girl’s. I have seen her
many a time down on the shore, always
with her dragon aunts.”
“ Where's the letter ?”
“ I’ve got it herein my wallet. N ow,you
know the right sort of a man won't have his
girl’s letters hawked about among his asso-
ciates. lie let Burton take this copy and
Burton gave it to me. Let me sec—this is
it. Listen:
“ Dear Mr. Smith—My aunts wish me to
reply to your kind letter. .I do not know
what to say. I am not accustomed to writ-
ing to gentlemen; but I must tell you that I
was sorry to have Aunt Sopby send you
that picture; I am not near sopretly; itfiat-
ters me very much indeed. You are so
handsome that you want a handsome with,
so I don't think you ought to be deceived.
I don’t want to be married; but my aunts
say I must on account of the money; and _
it may turn out right; Iam .very lonely
here. I would live in a large city, and Aunt
Sophy says you would do everything to
please me. .
“ Have you any sisters? Will your moth-
er like me i I always wanted sisters and a
mother of my own. I don’t know what
else to tell you, except that if you love me,
I will do whatever you want me to. Very
truly yours, Ross ROGERS.”
There were comments upon and a laugh-
ing discussion of the letter, which was cer—
tainly very unique. But as we rattled along
there was abump, a shock, the cars stood
still, and everybody was in consternation.
“ We are 011‘ the track—be patient a very
little while,” said the conductor, passing
through the car.
But in Consequence of this little accident
it was two o‘clock before we got to
Plymouth. As we swarmed out upon the
platform, I noticed a very pale young man,
not unlike myself in looks, emerge from' the
foremost car—his coat sleeve torn off, and a
violent purple bruise on his forehead.
“ If that be the lover Smith, now, said I
to myself, “ what a plight he is in.”
He seemed to be very much out of humor,
and beckoning angrily to a hackman, jumpd
into a carriage, and desired to be taken to
”the best hotel. After that'I saw several
other persons, more or less disordered and
bruised by the railroad accident.~
I was leaving the depot, when a colored
coachman bowed before me.
“ Beg pardon, sir—Mr. Smith ?”
“ Yes."
" Carriage is waiting. Stop this way, sir,
if you please, sir." ‘
I follow him, wondering if indeed my
unclehad sent up a carriage. It used to be
my aunt’s pet hobby—a barouclie, with the
old English coatof arms, which had indeed,
belonged to us, but had been in disuse since
the impoverishment of Raleigh Smith of
England. I wasn’t quite sure what they
were, but believed it was a sword and hel-
met upon a piece of parchment; but it
proved to be a pen and a sword against a
pallette, as there had been scholars, artists,
and military men among our ancestors.
“ All well i” I asked, good humoredly.
“ All well, answered Sambo, with a. grin
shutting the door. Then he looked back to
say with another grin:
“ Ladies very gay this morning.”
If my stately aunt and cousin were: gay,
it was certainly worth remarking; so I
laughed a little, and Samba chuckled again
,and jumped upon his seat.
We rattled through the streets under an
arch, up an avenue. Things began to look
strange. .
“ Where are we 1” I asked, as Sumbo
opened the carriage door. “ Do they live
here i" ' ‘
“Yes, sir. Here’sMr. Dunbar, air.”
At the same moment an elderly gentleman
rushed out on the terrace to meet me.
“ Why, Smith, you are wonderfully late,”
he exclaimed, shaking hands with me.
“ The cars ran off the track,” answered I;
and before I could say anything else he
hustled me into the house.
, “ Everything is ready. Hurry with your
toilet, and come down. Pity you trimmed
your whiskers so close; it ~ alters your ap-
pearance very much. Robert, lielp Mr.
Smith dress. Right inhero, Smith. Hurry,
now, the ladies are waiting.” _
I found. myself in a luxurious dressing
room, and a mulatto was respectfully in at-
tendance. I sat down and looked at him.
“What is your name 2”
“Robert, sir; will you be so kind as to
hurry air 2 They are waiting for you.”
I gave him the key to my portmantcau,
and resigned myself to my fate, whatsoever
it might be. But things were very strange.
‘ “ Where is my uncle?” asked I, as Robert
dexterously arranged my garnet sleeve
buttons. .
" Your uncle? Oh, yes,” with a bad at-
tempt at smiling; “ he’s with the ladies,
sir." _/
“ How long have they lived here ?" ~
“ Idon’t know, sir. I’ve only been here
a day or two. There, sir, do you want any-
thing more 2"
“ No.” I was arrayed in my best apparel
and 100de well, though my whiskers, in-
stead of being trimmed, were of early
growth, and had never been of any length.
I was met at the foot of the stairs by the
irrepressable Mr. Dunbar. '
“ It’s all fixed,” said he; “you’ll be mar-
ried at once. I had different arrangements
made; was going to give you and Rose a
Chance to get a little acquainted; but that
railroad delay spoiled that. The Rev. Mr.
Lawson is here. Come right along; a stiff
upper lip, now.”
He led me into a long reception room.
Some ladies shook hands with me. . A tiny,
golden-haired creature was put at my side.
The clergyman .married us. Then there
was a chatter of congratulations.
One woman, with a horrible scarlet head-
drols, put her hand on my arm and drew
me aside.
“ What arrangements have you made for
the trip ?” asked she.
“ None,” I answered truthfully.
“But you are going to New Yoflr for a
week or two i” '
I thought New York as good a place to
go as any, if I was expected to go some-
where, and answered yes.
“Aunt Sophy;” said a trembling voice at
our elbows, “ what must I do now '."
“ Run up stairs and put on your traveling-
dress, child. Your aunt Margaret will as-
sist you.” ,
It was my wife. She never looked at me,
but ran away again.
Refreshments Were circulating.
very hard not to go crazy.
At last Dunbar came to me again.
“All ready, Smith. Carriage is waiting.
I tried
’ You’ll catch the evening train with smart
driving." .
They hustled me out again, kissed Rose,
and shook hands with me, and we two alone
were driven pell mall to the depot.
I bought tickets for New Yo: it, gave Sam-
bo five dollars, and we were off. ~
Well, we got into New York at midnight.
I took ‘a carriage to the St. Nicholas Hotel,
took rooms, locked the door, and told my
wife all about it. I
She looked at me a while with her great
blue eyes, and then saidyiunoccntly:
“ Well, I don,t know as it makes any dif-
f‘erencc.”
After all, what difference did it make ?
The dishevclled young man with the bumped
forehead proved to be the expected Smith,
but he didn’t arrive until half an hour after.
our departure. _
Dunbar came after us, raving, but there
was nothing to be done, _
Rose was satisfied, the other man wasn’t;
but I imagine he was a fellow of bad luck.
w 1.
now to Spend Your Evenings.
We clip the following from the Congrega-
tr'onals'st. A friend informs us that it is ex-
tracted from a. sermon, recently delivered
by the Rev. Mr. Willard, pastor of the Con-
gregational Church, in Westville. The sug-
gestions are worthy of serious consideration,
and we heartily commend them to the at;
tention of our young readers, who are more
particularly concerned in the matter:
“ On Monday evening,” said a young man,
“ I attended a lecture, on Tuesday evening,
a concert on Wednesday evening, a. soCial
on Thursday evening, a glee club on Friday
evening, I was present at the lodge meeting
on Saturday evening I was at the reading-
room.” Was he not like many of our youth,
who rarely spend an evening in the home-
circle! And yet, I am not placing under
ban all lectures, or concerts, or socials cic.;
still I would ask is not more time devoted to
these than conduces to a sound. moral or
mental training ?
Young men and women who have a home
should spend, at least, four evenings every
week in that home. By such a course, many
good books might be carefully read, and
well digested. It would discipline the fac-
ulties, exercise the memory, and furnish the
mind with knowledge more precious than
rubies. As things go, only now and then a
youth reads anything except the daily news-
papers, and the “ trashy, sensational filers-
ture” of’ the day. In fact, they have no time
for a well-conducted course of reading or
study, and I believe one want of the pres-
ent generation is “ evenings at home.” Had
I as many children as the Good Father gave
John Rogers, I would not permit one of
them to be absent from the home-circle more
than two evenings in the week, because too
much license of this kind creates a craving
which is hurtful.
IMMIGRATION—The statistics of‘ immigra-
tion show that during the first six months
of this year 142,227 immigrants landed at
Castle Garden. against 109,097 last year, an
increaseeof 33,130, or thirty-two and two-
fifths per cent. Complaint is made that
there was a lack of vessels at the other side
adequate to the demand, so that the J unc
arrivals do not quite equal those of May,
but in J uric fifty-six steamch and twenty-
onc sailing vessels arrived, with 41,389 im-
migrants. Politicnl discontent in Ireland
and famine in Sweden and Norway are as-
signed as the more obvious causes of the in-
crease, but when these fail, other causes will
follow and undoubtedly the population of
the country will increase at the rats of from
three hundred to five hundred thousand an-
nually, even without the extraordinary exo-
dus from China and Japan hoped by some
and dreaded by others.
‘
[STA missionary of the American Sun-
day School Union in the Far West, writes
thus:
“Eight years ago I lectured to an audi-
ence of three men, and appointed one of
them Superintendent of a Sunday school yet
to be established. Now that settlement has
a Sunday school of forty scholars and half-
a-dozcn teachers, a day school, prayer meet-
ing, and an organized church, with a very
good meeting house.
“Early last spring a man came from a
new settlement in the western part of this
county to see the Sunday school missionary,
and on finding me he said: ‘Are you the
Boss of the Sunday schools ‘3’ He went on
'to state the need of a Sunday. school in his
neighborhood. I went thither and organ-
ized a Sunday school, making them a dons-
iion of books. In December I received this
report from that school: ‘This Sunday
school was organized in March, 1868. Be-
fore this, there was no religious organiza-
tion of any kind. A revival began in June,
and a church has organized with forty three
members. All but two of these are from the
Sunday school.’ What hath God wrought!”

WORKING FOR Camera—A most touching
and beautiful illustration‘ of self-denying
Christian work by proxy has lately come
to our notice. A young lady, daughter of
an eminent Albany pastor, made" the ac-
quaintance, some years since, of Rev. John
McCullough, the veteran missionary of the
American Sunday School Union in the
South, and conceived an ardent love for‘ his
'work among neglected children. Meanwhile,
by her own earnings, she has established,
through him, about twenty Sunday Schools,
by donations of $10 to $20 each. Planted
by such loving care, they have been abund-
antly blessed. Six churches have already
sprung up as the outgrowth of these Sunday
Schools. One—started in an old, abandoned
log school-house, fitted up in part, by the
missionary’s own hands, in a place where
there was no day-school, or Sunday School,
or churchior many miles around—has been
visited by a most precious revival, resulting
in one hundred conversions. They have
now a nice new school-house, and an organ- ‘
ized church. This lady is a confirmed ' “
valid, and has hardly left the house for eight
months; yet hcr energy has known no rest
or relaxation. Confined much of her time
to her‘bcd and suffering keenly, her busy
' fingers have worked on tirelessly and lov-
ingly for the children. A fair lately held in
her father’s house netted the handsome sum
of 8200—1111 the proceeds of her skillful
handiwork, and enough to start handsomely
half a score of Sunday schools in the des-
titute South. The work and labor of love
of this dear disciple will by and by be done.
The results are only just budding iInto de-
velopment. How rich will be the fruit at
harvest time! How joyously, sitting at
Heaven’s gate, will she welcome the hun-
dreds of ransomed ones brought to Jesus
through her instrumentality! This work
that she has done Should be told as a me-
morral of her. Independent.
One of the Boston correspondents of‘ the
Tribune is responsible forthe following, and
we hope for his personal safety that he has
placed several miles between himself and
the modern Athens. Indeed, we are not
very sure but that he would do well to keep
ast‘rict guard over his sanctum in New
York, and to be very careful about admit-
ting ladies who exhibit the well-known
symptoms of hailing from Boston. The
wretched man says: “Then there is the
young lady whom I met in-Tremont street
on Thursday afternoon—a pretty, clean-
iooking damsel, the product, I should say,
of one of those pretty towns near Boston;
she was running vainly after .a crowded
horse car, which would not stop, and I
heard her exclaim, with bated breath, ‘Damn
that'conductor i’ What is to become of her,
I should like to know, when the high pres-
sure restraints of New England decorum
bind her up again, and the safety-valve is
tied down t”
