BABY’S PRAYER.
When the children kneel down by the, lil'd'
side at. night— - ,
Three boyish heads all in row—
Witli a flutter of haste, in her nightgown of
_ white,
The Baby comes, kneeling there too.
She bows her bright face a: the side of the
e 1
And mumblcs her own little prayer ;—
Funny words, you would think, could you
. hear what she said,
For we none of us know what they are.
But sometimes I think, when she raises her
head ‘
With so much delight in her face,
Perhaps the dear Saviour knew just what
she said,
And her prayer in His heart found a
place! ‘

NEW YORK, Nov. 21, 1874.
ONE SWEET CHARITY.
The mild weather which holds so late
into the season is of great benefit to the
poor, who have some weeks longer to save
the hard—earned dollars necessary for fuel
and clothing. »Relief societies are taking
hold of the Work'in time. Perhaps one of
the pleasar-test sights in the city, to an eye '
which looks beyond the surface of things, is
the meeting to sew for the poor, held every
afternoon at the rooms of St. John’s Guild,
which I have before mentioned as one of
the kindliest, most active, and truly Chris
tian charities in the city. At the rooms‘
once a week,lad'es of every circle in 50-.
ciety meet lg 11) e up clothes for winter,
which the poorest of the poor are not able
to make for themselves. For instance,
there are many who support small children
by going out at days’ work, and who can
barely pull together enough to keep a roof
over their heads and coarse food in their
months by slaving early and late, and how
can such find time to make up such clothes
as they could not afford to buy without lite-
, rally going sleepless? Careworu mothers
who find the sewing and pro ‘ding for their
families an overtask for ha dand brain,
may consider what they would do if, in ad-
dition- to this, they were obliged to earn all
the groceries, the house-rent, and candle
ends from week to week. The will know
what a blessed help is devised or the poor,
when the Roosevelts and the Livingstons
come down with their gold thimbies, in
company with other unoccupied ladies un-
der sixty, of difi‘erent parishes, who, half
out of novelty and half from thorough good
will, desert the park and promenade to sew
on gray flannel and red, “ unbleached” and
calico in true Dorcas fashion. Done by
such careful hands, the sewing is of the
ncatest order, I assure you, and' young la-
dies who scorn plain sewing fortheir“ prac-
tising” and German lessons, might be put: to
bzush by the exquisite neatness of the com-
monest work done by women whose wealth
and position are such as never to require
.tliem to touch a needle for themselves.
there are women of leisure who, reading
this,I would remind them that there may
be cases close about them where such skill
would not be undervalued. But if the sis-
ter-in-law with poor health, and the mini:-
ter’s wife, and the neuralgic neighbor across
the way are provided for in this respect,
nothing is easier than to make up plain,
substantial clothing for children of differ-
ent ages, and send each garment, closely
tied in paper, through the mail, at an ex-
pense of not. ever twenty-fiv' ' ms 0. pack-
age, to any relief society in w York.
THE MAIL PACKAGE BUSINESS.
By the way, this business of ' sending
packages by mail instead of express is com-
ing rapidly into favor. The dealers in this
city pay special attention to sending- orders
in this way, and A. T. Stewart & Co. tell
me that this branch of their business sprang
in one month to $3,000, and goes on with
rapidity which is surprising and delightful.
A silk dress pattern was. sent from this city
to San Francisco, by mam—for fifty cents,
which would have cost: five dollars by ex-
press. Families out Westpwho lOng to
avail themselves of the advantages of the
city in shopping, should bear this in mind.
The rate for sending packages exacted by
our paternal Government is only one cent
for each two ounces, and the firm above
named say they have never yet lost any-
thing sent in this way. I know of alady
who proposes to keep her friends out West
supplied with fresh oranges and the best of
coffee by mail.
There is something in this, as all who
have tried to find nice groceries in small
country places will bear witness. A great
deal of fun has been made of Mr. John
.Ruskin, the celebrated English writer on
Art, for setting up a pensioner of his in a
shop, and sending out advertisements of it
with copies of his last new book to let the
poor know where they can get pure tea and
coffee. I wish some of our reformers and
visionaries had the sense to undertake any-
thing as practically good.
Snmms.
It is a curious thing that plain labor is
the scarcest, and when the most men are
out of employment that laborers should un
dcrtake to force the question of wages, but
so it is. With 30,000 men out of employ-
ment in this city, with an uglywinter before
them, during which the stoppage of labor
from natural causes will swell this army to
50,000, agitators are pushing strikes. No
less than five are being organized at this
time, which if carried out. will make had
work this winter. The ’Longshoremen are
organizing a strike againsta reduction of
wages, which the steamship and other com-
panies insist upon; while the coopers are
about to turn out to oppose an edict of the
bosses. that no man in their‘employ shall
belong to a Union. The others are of less
importance, because there are less men en~
gaged in them; but every strike, however
small, must result badly. The employers
are not making money; and to most of
them an excuse to shut down isa, relief
rather than a damage. Therefore they will
not oppose strikes to any extent, but permit
them to go on. The number of people out
of work makes it easy to get labor enough
to do all they want to keep up a show of
business, and to beo ready forfloperation
when business resumes. l‘here ‘will bein-
sensc suffering in the city this winter.
TRADE.
Very few men are making money at all
in New York, especially those in legitimate
merchandise. The daily sazes of merchan-
Vdisc in this city foot up $15,000,000; and
one would suppose there ought to be some
money made out of this sum total of trade,
but there is not. The expenses of running
a jobbing trade are enormous; and it takes
an immense trade‘ to keep it going. Ina
respectable store, the item of gas alone
amounts to $600 per annum. Then the cost
of keeping men on the road, of bookkeepers,
cashiers, buyers, salesmen, and the enor-
mous item of rent, which is never less than
$5,000, and more frequently $15,000, ab-
sorbs profits terribly. And remember that
cash goods are now jobbed ata profitof
one per cent. on “leading" articles; and
almost every article the sharpbuyer man-
ages to make lending. The merchant labors
for the landlord as a rule.
The fact is the men who have made mon-
ey in New York, have done it in real estate,
the same as everywhere else. Business is
liable to top many fluctuations. Of the
business men of the city, not over three per
cent. retire with a. fortune; and of that three
per cent.,a close examination will show
that the fortunes they retired on were made
by lucky chance-purchases at some point a
long way back. For instance, one mer--
chant of my acquaintance bou ht a plat-of
ground in 1850 for $25,000. emade, in
his business, $25,000 more; but that ground
sold last week for $275,000, which made
him comfortable for life. There is nothing
so certain in life as the ground we stand on.
It cannot burn, nor run away—only a mort-
gage cau eat it up. Land is a good thing
to have, and, in the long run, will make
more money than anything else. ‘
'rlm WEATHER
is in New York as, I presume on b. vc it.
We have had no rain of any'tlimoun , and
dryness rules. Of course, on the pave-
ments here-it is pleasantenoughgbut we
know. that the farmer wants it, and must
have it, to make him prosperous. We are
looking for Jupiter Pulvius with as much
anxrety as the people outside the metropo-
lis. Rain is our cry, as, I presume, it is
yours.
nusmnss
is improving every day. Buyers are in-
creasing their purchases, and there does
seem to be a more healthy feeling in the
marts of trade. Let us hope that it may
continue.
There is no reason that] can see why
business should not be good. The people
who have wheat and corn and. cats in their
bins need not suppose that their produce is
* not to be consumed. It will all he wanted,
andgood prices are going to be paid for it.
A little confidence is all that is necessary.
Please tell your readers so, and get them to
start the wheel. Once they move, the V
trouble Will!“ be over. There is no rea-
son for trouble at all. The country is as
prosperous as over, if people only think so.

0ft within our little cottage,
As the shadows gently fall,
While the sunlight touches softly
One sweet face upon the wall,.
Do we gather close together,
And inhusbed and tender tone,
Ask each other’s full forgiveness
For the wrong that each has done.
Should you wonder wh this custom -
At the ending of- the 0y, -
id quickly answer,
“ It was once our mother’s way !'
It our home be bright and cheery,
If it hold a welcome true,
Opening wide its door of greeting
To the many, not the few ;
If we share our Father’s bounty
With the needy, day by day.
"l‘is because our hearts remember
This was ever mother’s way.
Sometimes, when ouoband grow \vtary,
Or our tasks seem very long;
When our burdens look too heavy,
And we deem the right all wrong,
Then we gain a new, fresh courage,
' As we rise to proudly say:
“ Let us do our duty bravely,
This ‘as our dear mother’s way.”
Thus we keep her memory precious,
While we never cease to pray
That, at last, when lengthening shadows
Mark the evening of our day.
They may find us waiting calmly,
To go home our mother’s way !

“A PUT UP JOB.”
Since the death of Reason, Davis, several
years ago, Sundown Smith has claimed to
be the champion stove polisber of Michigan,
and he has held his medal through many
bot contests.
He goes for a stove like a Texas steer for
a red necktie, and when he leaves it there is
a shine on it which makes the owner’s heart
swell with pride. ' _
The other day a merchant fished his coal
stove out ofthc cellar and found it led
with rust. He ordered the store boy to
clean it, and the boy greased it ,all over
with lard oil and kerosene as a preparatory
step. The oil took the rust 011‘, but the
blocking slid right off of it when applied,
and the boy was told to get up and dust,
and never come near that store again.
The stove was wheeled out on the walk
and Sundown Smith came along, out of a
job. He took a look. made a. mental calcu-
lation, and said he'd make that stove put on .
.the reflection of a mirror for about twenty-
five cents. The bargain was closed, and
the negro slid up to the base-burner and
gently applied the foundation fora shine.
He remarked that it was a very soft, smooth
stove, and he wondered if they hadn’t got
so that they mixed thciron with glue or
india rubber. It seemed to him that stove
polish spread out a good deal on that stove,
but that" was mofley in his pocket and he
didn’t say anything. When he had a good
thick coat on, be seized his broom, took a
long breath and went in. He brushed up
and down, sideways, diagonally, and va-
rious other ways, and the broom seemed to
just glide around without an effort. After
ten minutes’ work without result, Sundown
paused and remarked: -
“Whar’s dat shine, ch? Didn’t know
dat Sundown Smif was here, did ye?
S’pgsed it wassome common stove-blacker,
ch . ,
He took up another broom and danced
around and went for that stove door like a
tornado, shutting his eyes and breathing
hard and calling to the small boys to stand
away if they didn’t want tomeet the fate
of Pompeii, and be buried under a cloud of
dust. The grease held its own. The
sweat trickled down Sundown’s cheeks and
the rent in the back seam. of his coat wid-
ened rapidly. He worked desperately for
nine or ten minutes, and then he Opened his»
eyes in amazement. '
“Dis yer’s powerful curns,” he growled,
as he gazed at the door. "I guess dat
blacking fell down in do road and got mud
in it.
He looked at the blacking, then walked
around the stove, and as the crowd began
to jeer at him be got mad and shouted:
“ Can’t shine dat stove? Can’t make (lat
base-burner reflect dc morning rays of de
sun! Can’tIdodat?”
And hekneeled down, uttered a“whoop l"
which sounded far up and dawn, and made
that broom fly like a towehon a clothesliue
with a nor’wester blowing.
“ Can’t make him shine, eh i—whoop l—
cau’t bring out do reflection, eh ?-—-whoop l
--never heard of Sundown Smit, eh ?—
whoop!" he shouted, but after awhile he
paused. There was a new light in his eye.
He got up, rubbed his hand over the stove,
looked at his band,and then without say-.
ing a word or replying toe. question,he
picked up his “kit” and slid across the
road into an alley, his face wearing such a
look of contempt and disgiist'tbat’ it was a ‘ ‘
study for a painter. He came not back.
His form finally disappeared behind a wag- .
on, and the crowd slow 1y dispersed. It was _.
an hour-0f Grecian triumph. ‘
