NOW.
BY ROSE TERRY COOKE.
“Quand on est morle o’ut pour long temps."
When I am lying pale and dead,
Wilton dear friends, around my bed
Aer your loss in deafened ears
And wash my heedless face with tears.
What thrill of hope or tenderness
5Will‘ beat beneath my burial dress?
'Whnt look of gratitude arise,
And lift the lids of sightl‘css eyes?
What loving voice escapes those lips,
From which no speech or language slips ?
Alas! I cannot rouse-and say:
.“If ye lament me I will stay,"
Speak while I hear, and while I lo‘ng
To'fe’el your love is true and strong,
While peace can soothe my troubled brow,
Wait not to miss‘mc ; hold me now !
Set not your kisses on my cheek,
Nor on my mouth, too cold to speak;
And in your fruitless grief forbear
To shed their sweetness on my hair.
In life I long to feel their breath,
But what are kisses worth to Death ?
Like blossoms dropped on ice and snow,
Like songs when howling tempests blow,
A wasted gift, a vain caress
That might have been a power to bless,
A longing answered all in vain,
A touch that Death must needs disdain
That gpig'ht a life with joy endow,
0h tdflyOukiss me, kiss me now.
Remember not when I am gone
The deeds I did or would have done,
How much I loved, how vainly strove
'l‘oj'hud- an answer in your love;
Nor weep to think what lOss is yours,
Since neither life nor'love endures ;
Say not with tears and cries and prayers;
“Would that we showed her tenderer cares,
Had patience with the faults we knew,
Clung to the heart so warm and true,
That now We weep with hopeless pain,
And know will never come again."
Ah! breathe not then the useless vow ;
But if you love me, love me now. 1
Nor, standing round my,wintry grave,
TOO late to serve me or to save,
Fling on it all you have to give;
“At last'her follies we forgive l”
An angel might repel with scorn
Such speechof poor repentance born,-
Might weep to see suchiLevite pride
Puss coldly by a coflin’s side.
Not if within your hearts there be
A kind but slumbering thought of me,
A memory of the vanished past,
A hope of peace and love at last,
A speechless prayer,'a silent sense
That sometimes speaks in my defense,
Thatsays: “Our life is not too long,
And we, perhaps, were sometimes wrong.”
Ah! listen to that pleading voice
And bid a hving heart rejoice.
If late remorse or grief allow
Forgiveness then, forgive me now.

now to Read a Meter.
The veracity of gas companies is often
called in question by consumers of that ar-
ticle, though with how much justice is not,
of course, for us to decide. The employer
of the company maintain that. they deal
honestly by theircustomers, and the latter,
knowing thatthey srein the povver of the
company, often pay their bills feeling dis-
satisfaction. The matter of dissatisfaction
might he easily remedied. The process of
reading a meter is almost as simple as
telling the time of day by a clock, and may
be acquired by any person of common in-
lgence inten minutes. Below we give a
explanation.
its top of the meter is placed a small
' 1 case, three-or—four inches ‘long, which
opens by means of a little .door in front,
and discloses a plate with three small dials,
about an inch in didmcter, which are fur-
nished with one pointer apiece, moved by
cog-wheels and pinions on the inside, which
in turn, are made to revolve by a large
wheel propelled by the passage of the gas.
The circle on the dial is divided into ten
spaces, numbered around the 'edges with
figures like the dial of a clock. The dial
on the extreme right indicates, by means of
its pointer. the burning of 1000 feet, and
the dial on the left the burning of 10,000
feet. For instance, the three pointers all
. stand at cypher. The pointer on the right-
hand dial having moved from cyphcr to
figure one, indicates that 100 feet of gas
have been consumed. If it move to the
two, 200 feet, and so on, until the pointer
has gone around the circle, and again reach-
ed the cypher, when 1000 feet have been
consumed. ‘ .
When this point has been reached the
eye will be directed to the next dial, when
it will-«be found'that the pointer has moved
to the figure'one, indicating that 1000 'feet
have been consumed. The pointer on the
first dial continues on, and still marking
the amount passing. Suppose that at the
end bf the first month. the pointer on the
first dial stands at eight, that on the second
between one and two, it is easy to under-
stand that 1,800 have been consumed.
When the pointer on the second dial
reaches two, that on the first is again at
cypher, indicating that 2000_feet have been
consumed. Thus it goes on until the poin-
ter on’the second dial has made the circuit,
which indicates that 10,000 feet have been
consumed, when the pointer (in the third
dialwill stand atone. This, in turn, with
an entire revolution, indicates that 100,000
feet have been consumed. Taking the three
dials in connection, the exact amount of
cubic feet may thus be ascertained, com-
mencing anew every time 100,000 feet have
run through the meter and been consumed.
Now, to ascertain the exact amount of
gas whichwill be consumed during the
coming month, inspect the dials of the
meter on the first of the month ; the pointer
on the left-hand dial perhaps stands be-
tween the figures 6 and 7, indicating 60,000
feet. The pointer on the middle dial stands
between 5 and 6, indicating 5000 feet, and
the pointer on the right hand dial stands
between 7 and 8, indicating 700 feet. You
thus have a total of 65,706 feet of gas pre-
viously consumed. Set the figures down,
and at the end of the month again inspect
thedial. The right-hand dial stands, per-
haps, nearly as before, and still indicates
60,000 feet. The middle one has moved‘on,
and stands' between 7 and 8, indicating
7000. The right-hand one has made a
number of revolutions and stands between
1 and 2, indicating 100 feet. We then have
a total of 67,100 feet. Substract from this
the number set down at the beginning of
the month, and you have 1,400 feet of gas
consumed. Multiply this by the price per
cubic foot, and you have your gas bill for
the month. If housekeepers would take
the trouble to do this themselves, they
would satisfy themselves and be sure to
guard against mistakes.

appearsthat “a tinksr's dam is not profanity

of bread, {around the hole to be mended,

it Cools off around the metal. After being
subjected to this process, thebrcad is burned
and spoiled, and is a fitting type of utter
worthlessness." This is one of those in-

as the originsl—tinkers"‘usually being

A COUPLE OF SWINDLES—THH SOCIETY OF

swnmnns.
Out of the million of people who make up
another. The worst Of these are the adver-
tising thieves, for while they steal, they do it
in such an ingenious way as to escape the
penalties of the law. The history of one or
two of them may not be uninteresting.
“G. R. Murray & 00.,” is a good name.
Well, G. R. M. & 00., advertise that they~
possess $1,500,000 of watches, pianos and
lot at one dollar for each ticket. You are
invited to send twenty-five cents to these
ticket which describes the prize you are eu--
titled to. You send your twenty-five cents;
and you do get a ticket like this:
“MERCAN'I‘ILE PRIZE assoomrrorv.
Certificate No. 22733. ,
“This certificate ‘when accompanied by .
one dollar, (and fifty cents for packing), enti-
tles the holder to one Silver-Hunting Cased
Watch, valued at $15 00. State how you
wish it sent."
Now send $1 50 and what happens. Noth-
ing. You never hear of it again. And as
these fellows get letters by the bushel, every
one of which contains money, it is not diffi-
cult to suppose that they live in clover.
Their office is, in one advertisement, ir.1 one
place; in another, another, so that victims
police get after them, but they change their.
style so frequently that it is impossible to
catch them.
The fellows who are to-day doing business
over the name of G. R. Murray do 00., have
within a year been known as the‘United
States Tontine Association, of 23 Park Row ;
as Norton, Quinn do 00., of 212 Broadway;
'as Hollidav, Lewis do 00., of 23 Park Row ;
as Walter B. Turner & 00., of 746 Broad-
way; as H. H. Briddlc d: 00., of 50 Broad
street; as Chester N. Dudley do 00., of 34
New street; as Alvah Young of 205 Broad-V
way; as Edward Seville & 00., of 34 New
street; as’Oswald West &. 00., of 46 Broad
street . as S. Soiomau do 00., of 134Nassau
street ;' and as Gilbert Putnam & 00., of 64
Broadway. But ingenious as the gentlemen
are the last two months has developed a
m ore
. GORGEOUS SCOUNDBELISM.
The only expense attending these swindles
is the advertising, and how to dodge them
has been the question with them. Two of
these thieves assumed the name of “Kirk-
wood & Beach, Advertising Agents,” and
issued "an order to the newspapers of the
country, advertising a dozen or more Of
bogus articles, under a dpzcn orimore differ-
ent names, the price of which was always to
be sent by mail to the P. 0. B01: designated.
To seduce the publishers of hte country
these villains boldly referred to A. T. Stew-
art, C.. A. Dana, and Jas. Gordon Bennett,
of New York, to M: Halstead, of the Cincin-
nati Commercial, and D. R. Locke, of the Tole-
do Blade. As their offer to the papers were
liberal, and their references unexceptionable,
hundreds of papers, published their adver-
tisements, and immediately cords of letters
came to the different parties named, all of
which Kirkwood do Beach took out of the
Post-Office and appropriated, of course.
As a matter of course the newspapers pub-
lishing the advertisements will never gets
cent; those who send money to the various
addresses will never get what they send for;
in short the only people who get anythingmre
the ingenious scoundrels who assume the
firm name of- “Kirkwood do Beach." When
will people learn wisdom? When will peo-
ple learn that a dollar is a dollar, and, when
a man proposes to give two dollars for one,
that he means a swindle and there is a swin-
dle under it. May I impress on your read-
ers this important maxim: Never send mon-
ey to any person whom you do not know.
Is it a medical prodigy? There is no physi-
cian in the great cities who knows a particle
more than do your own practitioners. Is it.
These goods have a. fixed value in the mar-
ket, and if any one has them there is no
earthly use of making a sacrifice to dispose
of them. In short a little common sense is
all that is necessary to protect a person from
these swindlers. DO, good people, who read
these lines, use a little common sense and
save your money.
A CURIOUS SOCIETY.
It has been discovered that the upper-
crust criminals in the tombs have organized
a. society for mutual defence. By upper-
crnst I mean “the big thieves, the burglars,
the forgers and murderers. They contribute
so much each to a fund for defending each
in his turn, and a fixed sum which goes to
the family of the one convicted and sen-
tenced. This is a cooperation in a new di-
rection. But why not? Crime is a regular
trade with all the rules and regulations that
other trades have.
POLITICAL INCIDENTS.
The Democracy of Brooklyn are made of
the same material as their brethern in- New
York. At a primary meeting in the Nine
teenth Ward, 0 return was handed in signed
by a man named Cunningham. A man at
the end of the room cried out, “I don’t be-
lieve Mr. Cunningham signed that return,”
whereupon Mr. Cunningham jumped to his
feet and declared that he;had signed it. The
voice from the end of the room quickly re-
torted, “Paddy Cunningham didn’t,sign it.
Paddy Cunningham can’t write his name ; II
have a document in my pocket to which his
mark is affixed.” : “
At the meeting of the General Committee
amusing incidents were related of rooms in
which voting was being carried on,being
cleared by force, and the ballot-boxes stuffed
to suit the muscular majority. At the Nine-
teenth Ward primary the voting was brought
to an abrupt termination by cutting off the
'gas. Democracy is the same now that it al-
ways was.
FASHION IN RELIGION.
It is a noticeable fact that the churches of;
New York are almost bare of women twice
each year—in the periods between Winter
and Spring,and Autumn and Winter—when
it’s too cold for a summer bonnet and not
cold enough for a winter} head-covering.
Pcdple are now invited to prayer-meetings
precisely as invited to a social soiree or an
evening party. A friend of 'mine gave me
the following transcript of a card which he
received :—"Mr. and Mrs. proposes (D
V.) to hold a Bible reading, on evening
at 7% o’clock, when the company of friends
is requested. Subject—Revelations II.
Reading from 7% to 9%. Morning dress”,
I saw one sent to another friend which, as for
as the body Of it was cbngsrned,might have
applied to a dance or card party, but in the
corner were the characters, “T. and P.”
After a while he discovered that the cabalis-
tic sign stood for Tea and Prayer. He went
and reported. After tea Bibles were handed
round on a. tray and religious exercises
Were held. Curious world this.
BUSINESS
continues to improve. Collections, we are
assured by one of our largest dry goods
houses, are very much better this year than
they were last. 0 far, in the month of J an-
uary, in the house'rcferred to,the collections
are at the rate of seven per ant. better than
in January, 1873.. This result upon old oh-
ligations is certainly both favorable and
hopeful. The fact is the panic of last fall
had no reality in it. It had no bottom, and
should have affected nothin0‘. But men got
frightened,und it took just so long a time
for them to get over their fright. They are
over it now and business goes on as usual.
THE WEATHER
is as changeable here as a fashionable wo-
man. In the morniug zero—at noon 60°—~
at night rain, and ice by midnight. You
need overcoats. umbrellas, linen dusters and
fans to be perfectly safe when you go out.
Oh i for an old-fashioned winter.

' “Let"nie‘ 'go with her through this dark;
For all the-good and ill of life
Has .tduchéd us with the self-same mark
Some bitter pains I comprehend,
4 But not the absence of her love,
I
Whose deep, unfailingtenderness
Would any lighter friend reprove.”
I called her—but the mother-look
Was blotted out in death’s eclipse;
And, vaguely desolate, I shrank
Before those altering eyes and lips.
My voice had fallen on faithful ears;
Twas " Mother! ” in my triumph hour,
And “Mother 1” in my time of tears.
I saw her going from my grasp
Beyond the boundaries of Time—-
Beyond the life her soul had made
Through love and suffering sublime.
.I could not shield nor share nor save;
' She drifted deathward all alone;
Her heart insensate to my pain,
Her ear unheeding of my moan.
Yet mother-love, rare mother-love,
Responsive in the throes of death !
The soul triumphant over clay,
Was victor of her latest breath.
Sudden into her darkened eyes
Flashed love and memory at the last ;
And then the spirit’s radiance set,
And the dear face was overcast.
Only the shell that held the seed ;
Only the casket of the gem ; '
But all the bitterness for us,
And all the victory for them!
For us, the deep, slow-closing wound ;
For us, the haunting pain of years:
The dull, vague, aching sense of loss
Alternate with our passionate tears.
Not yet the creed of faith can fill
. This bitter want, these empty arms;
It will-not soothe me now to know
That she is locked from life’s alarms.
I For when I see this pale, strange face,
So like, yet so unlike, her own,
I only feel that she is gone,
And I must learn to live alone.

Exercise—An Illustration.
BY EDWARD E. HALE.
Two friends are in a canoe in the Mozam-
bique channel. A sudden flaw of wind up-
set the boat. Before they-can right her,
she fills with water, and sinks; and the two
men are swimming for their lives. “Ah,
well 1” says one Of them to the other, “it is
a'long pull to the shore; but the water is
warm, and' we are strong. We will hold
by each other, and~all will go well." “N 0,"
says his friend. “I have lost my breath
already; each wave that strikes us knocks
it from my body. If you reach the shore,
—and God grant you may! tell my wife I
remembered her as I died. Good by! God
bless you I” and he is gone. There is
nothing his companion can do for him.
For himself, all he can do‘is to swim, and
then float, and rest himself, and breathe; to
swim again, and then float, and rest again,
—hOur after hour, to swim and float, swim
and float, with that steady, calm determina -
tion that he will go home; that no blinding
tspray shall stifle him, and no despair
weaken hYm,—hour after hour, till at last
the palmtrecs show distinct upon the shore,
and then the tall reeds, and then the figures
of animals. Will one never feel bottom?
Yes, at last his foot touches the coal, and
with that touch he is safe. '
That story that man told me.
Now what is the difference between those
two men? Why does one give up the con-
test at once, and'resign himself to what
people call his fate, while the other fights
the circumstances for hours, and wins the
battle. On shipboard one was as strong as
the other. He was as brave. He was as
prudent as the other. “What if he was i"
you say. Strength and bravery and pru-
dence were all needed in the crisis;but
something else was needed also. The man
had never trained himself to swim. He
knew how to swim, if knowing a method
were of much use, where one has not
trained himself to the habit. But that
training he had never given.
Take that as a precise illustration, where
nobody questions the answer, of the differ-
ence wrought in two men merely by exer-
cise, or the steadinebs of training. In
matters like ’this, of pure bodily exercise
everybody sees and OWns its work and its
result. ,

A Lunatic Ball.
In the recent annual ball at the Lunatic
Asylum, twenty couples took the floor,
ranged in two lines, facing each other, and
stood still in profound silence, waiting, the
music. In this party the strangeness of
the performers was most apparent. The
men wore a look upon their faces of such
resolution as one would expect upon that
of abrave man brought face to face with
some terrible danger. The women were
more wandering in their glances; but
nearly all were serious, too. The music
burst forth and a simultaneous movement
followed; all sorts ,of movements, some
"cultivated steps, but for the most part a
more violent. shufiling exercise. Directly
they allseemed to have forgotten that they
hadpartners, and settled down into danc-
ing. There was some peculiarity about
every individual, but in every one was
observable a sort Of ccstacv. One girl,
with wild, dark eyes, and her black hair ,
hanging loosely around her neck, would
occasionally pause, as if trying to recollect
where she acted such a part in other scenes,
bug-glancing at the companyall engaged
around her, she would resume her motions.
Some ofthem kept their gaze fixed on the
ceiling, turning neither to the right nor to
the left; others kept a Watch upon their
feet, which, to their bewildered minds
were perhaps going sadly astray. Very
soon the organization lost shape, the"origi-
nal partners had wandered hopelessly away
from each other. But, with instinctive
gallantry on the one side and gentle ac-
quiescence on the other, the men swung and
twirlcd whichever lady happened to be
within reach at the moment when they
thought the music indicated “swing your
partner."—New Haven Register. '

Tun PAPER Cuannrvcv or Juan—The
employment of paper as money is fondly
believed to be the invention of modern
civilized nations. It was known to the
Chinese before the Christian era. The
European alchemists toiled for centuries to
transmute lead into gold. The Chinese
tried paper-and it became money. The
latest results of scholarship date the first
issue of paper mOney in China at 119 B. C. _
The custom was imitated at an early age in
Japan, though the exact age at which the
Japanese tried this sort Of financiering can-
not be so accurately stated. For centuries,
however, paper money has been a common-
place thiug with the Japanese. Until
within five years ago, every great dnimio
was allowed to issue paper money. The
traveler in the interior of Japan still £183.38; ~.,.
with these curious relics of the feudalgsyvsjp,
tcm from which Japan has just emerged, 3L,
lived‘for one year in the city of Fukuwi; in _
the province of Yechizen, where the
money used for daily purchases were the
local issues of the “Han," or prefecture of
Fukuwi. These were strips of stiff white ,
or yellow paper, from four to 'eight inches
long, and two inches wide.- The values of
these formidable looking strips were one-
' tenth, one-fifth and one-half cent. and one
two, three, four, five, ten, twenty, twenty.
five and fifty cents respectively. The de-
signs'engraved upon them were character.
istic. The fat'and jolly god Of riches, sea
ed on a throne of rice bags, was the most .
common figure. Rice is not only the stafi
of life, but the'sinews of war in Japan. It
s the standard of value; salaries are paid
11 it, estates are apprised in its terms and it
.is_ to the “bulls an'd bears” what gold is to
the bovine and amine gentlemen of Wall
street—Appleton’s Journal. '
