A Story otrl'o-‘day.
My wife is a. delicate little woman. She
was esteemed a great beauty when I mar- over a cargo. The smart, capable,
tied her. Her mother 161d me ihutImust girl had seen sixty-five summers, rind her lose it before. There!" as his eyes finall

ways advocated the dismissal of servants cure corus, 8° she suid.’ I left.
who were not absolutely perfect. One morn-
ing' last'week Jane.omitted to put the large
spoons on the table, and the cruets were eu-
ti‘rely empty. I took the matter in hand as
a good, kind, considerate, thoughtful hus-
band should, and spoke sharply to the girl.
She undertook to answer me backgmdl
The Largest Stock of Sheet Music sent her straight out ofthe house.
“That is the way to do it,” I said. “Ifonc
girl doesn't suit try another.”
‘But my dear, Jane was a good servant in
12 most respects.” ,
“-That is what you say of them all. I tell
you and have told you repeatedly, that it ill
just as easy to ,get those who are right alto-
gether. You are too gentle n mistress, and
your servants impose upon you. If I had
charge of the house they would have to toe
the mark. ' -I am tired of seeing you so over-
I shadowed with household affairs.
_now there are wrinkles settling in your for-
head, as if you were forty-five instead of
twenty-seven.” -
Even
Ah! the wrinkles date for back of Jane’s
forgetfuluess. I am not sure but they have
been produced by the frequency of my visits
to intelligence ofllces.
time I went to one. that my hair would turn

I thought the lust
{Why don’t you follow up some of those
girls who advertise in The Union? 1in
mother used to, and was very successful.”
“I have a score of times. -1 got Delia from
an advertisement—the one who sat down on
the baby. thinking it was the rug-'bag—nnd
Alice, who stole all my best towels; and'
Julia, who would take her beaux into the
parlor every time we were out in the eve-
ning, and I don’t know‘ how many more:
I have come to the conclusion that, 'when a
servant is' neat and honest, it isbest to over-
look trifling short-comings. If my husband
was a litlle more patient, I think I could
‘ manage very well. I am worn out with
servant hunting.“
‘ “Servant hunting! Ishould thiuk itwould
be a pleasure. I can’t imagine anything so
very dreadful About it." ,4 '
“Suppose you-try it? i really do not feel
well "enough to miikc the effort; Iwouid
rather do my Own work for a month.”
_My wife did n'Ot usually speak with so
much-earnestness, and it surprised me. Be-
sides, she lodked pale, and, as I- said before,
I am a model of husbands. .
It was it pleasant morning. I had enough _
to_ do; but then I might as well be hindered
a. half an hour to oblige my wife as to waste
so; much ‘tiuieisruokin g after lunch.
“I willdarling. Lie down and rest your-
self, or read the papers. Toke no more
thought about the matter, and now; good
morning.” '- ’ ‘ ‘
Iki‘ssed her,_and went ‘on my way. I
bought an Evening Express at a stand on
the corner. Glancing on the lists of “Situa-
tions Wanted,” I smiled at the absurd idea
of putting up with incompetent servants
when such‘u army was in the field. I se.
lected two numbers, which I thought would
suit. They each contained three figures, and
of course were some distance away across
the avenues." .It was not an inviting look.
ing neighborhood. and the building into
—which I entered was far ftom prepossessiug.
I knocked at the first door on the first floor-
A felted-faced woman left the wash tub agd
opened it. . ' ‘ - ' >
“Did a girl advertise from here for it place
this morning i" , .
* “Not as I knows on. May be its in the
back room.” ,
I knocked at tbcrnext door. ‘ It was open-
ed by a little girl of nine or ten, baret'ooted
and rugged, and her mouth full of baked po-
lHiO.‘
Four other children, of various sizes
came running to look at me.
“Is your mother iii 9” I inquired.
“No." .
"‘Is there a girl here who wants a place i”
“No." .
I '“Do youk‘nliw whether "there is one in
the buildin ?”
“Maybe is up stall-s!” screamed a crane
from o; bed in the corner of the room, as I
took out The Express, so, as to see if I had
‘not mistaken the number.
I ascended a narrow staircase and passed
along In dark, gloomy corridor. , I knocked
at a door, end repeated my inquiries to a
yollow,‘sickly-‘looking woman with abahe
inhcr arms. She knew nothing of such lid-
vertisement, but it might be in the next room.
At the next main they thought perhaps it
was up stuirs. So I was linnded along from
one to another until I reached the fifth floor.
There ‘ I gained the extraordinary informa-
tion it was - probably in the blfitk yard.
'Reaching'tbe ground floor in safety, I pro-
ceeded ,to the-rent, where there was a,three

“How many families are there in the build-
ing?!” I asked. ‘ '
He cogitalcd a moment before he replied:
, “Twelve sir." ’
It was true! The hall run through the
center of the building, making four rooms on
each fioogsnd each floor contained a family.
One, a ‘uhoemltker, had a wife and seven
children. I visited every room before I
found the one advertised from. It was the
most respectnbc one of the lot and the occu-
pnut was a young, tidy, well-dressed woman.
My spirits rose like Team and went down as
quickly. The girl herself had not come yet-
I wheeled very abruptly and hurried to
the sidewalk- Ugly woi‘ds rose to my lips
but" I did“ nOt's‘penk them; I wondered if
Effie hull ever visited such an abode. Tak-
iugoul The Express again I read:
'I “No. 138 West—estreetf—u young girl
who understands her business, and is neat
and ohliglng.”
It was, only two blocks Off. ‘This time I
was ioriundtc enough to hit the right room.
at the first knock. The girl opened the door;
her manner was ujlittlo forbidding. Itfincy'
she belonged to the snapping-turtle order.
Nothing daullled, however, I explained my
business, ,_ , f .. . .. '
“How .‘mouyhc's _tbcre .in 'ur farmily.

but it was a. windy day, and I was in a. part
of the city where the streets were not water-
ed.’ Consequently. the damsel before me
could not make up her mind on the instant
whether I could answer for a master or not.
I gave’ller the number shé would be expect-
ed to serve. '
“Do there be a carpet on the girl’s room ?”
“Yes. N ow please inform me if you knOw
the house and the dining room, and will do
it well ?” I ' '
“Do therebe any fires to make ?”
“ One or two I think.”
“I guess .the place wouldn’t suit me. I
never make fires. Boys always does them
where I lives.” , -
Iwasngaiuofidat. I didn't fold and .put
mynewsp'aper in my pocket any more. ; I
read as I walked. According to my prin-
ted iufOrmation the most desirable person
for me to visit, was a “smart capable girl,”
in the 'neighborhood. of Myrtle avenue.
- Quitea stretch from the west parlof the
city,butI went. It wusn five story tenc-
ment house again. I gave a dirty boy at
quarter to run up stairs and make inquires for
me, and he never came back to report.
N ear the third landing I found the maiden.
She was staying with a “friend" who was a
dealer in old Clothes. and was just sorting

with her feet in a pull of water trying to
. I was getting slightly out of temper when
1 reached the sidewalk. A dog harnessed
into a. small cart obstructed the way. . I
raised my foot and removed the whole es-
tablishment into the street. After that I felt
better. Turning to The Express. I found
“situation wanted" by several in. the imme-
diate vicfilily, and I rendereduntonll the
light my countenance. One girl had just
been Dgagcd.” A third seemed. qualified
for our purpose, but her cousin was dead,
and she could not come for a week. The
fourth didn’t like our location. The fifth
made very pointed inquiries about the num-
ber of girls we had during the last year,and
then declined engagiog'where they changed
help so often. The sixth didn't cver .“ne-
goshmnte” with a gentleman; “the madame
must come herself.” The Seventh wanted
too many privileges, and had lost her front
teeth. The eighth asked my name and place
of businesg, but;-nevcr having heard of me

was'not only willing, but exceedingly anx-

to go to my wife in the course of half an
hour, and, I, thoroughly disgdsted with this
world, and particularly that portion of it
which I had just explored, looked at my
watch and found it was two o’clock in the

I did not give vent to my pent-up emu.-

another tour of the same nature on the fol-
lowing morning.
Without confessing it to Efi‘ir, I determin-
ed to save time nndIsteps, and try the intel-
ligence office. A polite clerk at the entrance
stopped me and registered my name, then
I passed into the main room. A clerk sit-
ting by a table numbered me and gave me a
card. I was to takg a seat corretpondingly
numbered. The room was filled with ladies
talking to servants, and all sorts of persons
hurrying hither and thither. A clerk spoke
through a tube and called for a chamber-
muid and waitress for number twelve. In
the course of ten minutes a tall, greasy-look-
ing Irish girl came town rd me.
“If you are sent to speak to me,” I said,-
“go back and tell'them you won’t suit. Let
another come as quickly as possible.”
Instead of obeying, she dropped into the
chair nearby.
“Won’t suit, eh ? What fills me ?”
I.“You are not neatly clad.”
“Oh, that stufi' oumy dress is nothing; i,
will come’ out with a‘litile ’sponging—"
I stalked across the room,aud advised the
young man in attendance to send a. decent
girl to me in short order. I coufered with
six before I gave my address, and sent one
to my wife. The little performance Occu-

crowded me the rest of the day. I dined
down town. ’Having lost my key, I rung
the bell of my own door about hulfpast'niue
o’clock. The discarded Jane admitted me.
“Efilc, how is this ?" I asked before tak-
ing a chair.
“Oh, nothing extraordinary. The girl you
sent came. She seemed perfectly satisfied
with the place, but in the course of half an
'hour, we heard the- lower door slam and
saw her running down the street. Toward
evening J one came for her money, and not
having enough by me, I detained her until
you should come in; She went to work of
her own accord, has put the house in order,
and assisted me in every way possible.”

, . . 'A WORD 'ro YOUNG MEN.
Young men, just star-tin in the race 0
life, should look well to their own interest:
in all particulars. They should see how,
and whereJhey can do most for themselves
and mankind. They should try to deserve
a good name, deal honestly With all then;
keep their words sacred on all occasions.
They should be prompt in all their engage-
ments. At the same time they should con-
elder their-I duty to the government under
which they live, for it secures to them life.
liberty and property. This government of
ours has cost great sacrifices, and it is the
best ever dewsed by man. Itis a. legacy to
you, young men, from your fathers, and
should be highly prized. Yet young men
should consider that bad‘and designm' g men
may overthrow and destroy the government
or use it to their own selfish purposes, with-
out regard to you or your interests. And
all this may be done under the cry of party.
Young men, before you connect yourselves

Sli in their gilded 'palaces, and in the sect-l t
chambers of Tammany Hall to concoct
schemes in furtherance of their plan to use
the Democracy for their personal aggrand-
moment. To do this effectively, the} must
control the, governor, the legislature, the
mayor, the common council, and the judi-
ciary. Through these agencies they buy
out at low figure and sell to city corpora-
lloIns for great prices. . T hey control the
railroads, um] steamboat lines. Morley
comes in on every hand. They fill their
pockets, and reserve large amount forpolib
ical purposes besides. They expect to se~
cure money enough to buy up the delegates
to the next National Denil cruiic Convention,
and the candidate nominated at that conven-
tion, whoever he may be, will be used by
them, as clay is used in, the bands of the
potter. I If elected, he will do their’bidding;
he will be their tool. Having been created
by them,hc will bow to their mandates. A
Democratic candidate for Governor sends to
Tweed and .compan the Macedonian cry,
“ come-over and be p us,”-“ don’t disap-
point us, nothing could be moredisustrous,”
--a.ud forthwith men and money life at
his dispoenl.‘ Their-teal must be elected, no
matter at what sacrifice, and the people are
swindlcd out of their hard earnings, in or-
der that these knavcs may rule and continue
to rob the people of their rights. .
The design is-to make Tammany supreme.
The National Government, the State and
city government must all be brought under
her» sway, and be manipulated by her offi-
cers ; taxation, c erce, canals, railways,
telegraphs, must a he brought under her
domination. Whatever Tammany alto mpts
to do, no matter what, or how oppressive to
the tax payers, mouey,crafl and cunning are
brought to her aid, until the object is accom-
plished. Tammany is the Democratic pur-
ty. The Sachems direct and control it. By
the influence of such an organization; ballot
boxes are stuffed, moderators make false re-
lums; double counting of‘ballots is encour-
aged; men trained to fraud and deception
are under its pay. In other words,- the or-
ganization offers a reward for crime, decep-
tion and knuvcry. It has no principles to
promote, save power and wordly gain.
this be obtained, it is sutisfied,’and‘stops not
to inquire in what wayzthese ends are at-
tained, or what results? may follow, even
though it be another civil war. Business
may be destroyed, heavy taxation may grind
the faces of the poor—it matters not so long
as Tweed, Sweeny- and their friend English
can have power and Tammany reigns.
We ask you, young men, just entering
upon political life, to Iook well before on
give in your adhesion to a party contro led
by such an organization. our characters
are worth too much, and your lives are too
short, to warrant you in voting with and
aiming with it even for a single year. If
we have said anything that will cause you
to reflect and join the great army, of young
men who are determined to crush the. mon-
ster and its illinsed power, we shall feel well
repaid for penning these few word in your
behalf.
