But this loved tie is stronger far than both ;
I cannot break mother's apron-string.

Thy blessed bonds forever round me fling ;
For oh l I would not if I could,escape
The pleasant fetters of that apron-String.
And when my lile’s long wearniness is o’er,
And to another sphere my soul shall spring;

I‘drs. Butterworth’s boarder had drawn
Mrs. ButterWorth’s best rocking chair out
upon Mrs. Butlerworlli’s front porch, and
wits now sitting with his slipperetl feet upon
the railing, smoking his liieerschaum as
coolly as though it were December ins.ead

her through a cloud of freshly emitted

Without heeding this remark, which was
delivered in rather a spitet‘ultonc,M'r.»D_es-

“Well, but—no offense, you know—don‘t
you think you had better change it?”
“No sir. not for any other that I ever

in a state of highly wrought indignation. _‘

Miss Kitty was already so far away that

“Wal, Mr. Dessaiut,” the farmer answer-

looking the young man straight in the facu,
"to sav the truth, you ain’t jest'the man to

Louis Des.aint sit for a long time stuck-
ing his pipe in silence. It strained himmore
thiiu he cared to on n, ill-it a keen,just man
like this could speak to him in sucn a. way
and heoould linden .word of excuse for
himself. He had never told his host that
be was wealthy,ai:d it really pained him
now to think that be, it young, strong, and,
as he believrd, a man not without talent,
should appear to this honest farmer so poor
a dawdler that he dared not. trust his daugh-
tor to him.
Must be then say to the father, “I am
rich,” in order to will the daughter? .Hi's
pride revolted at the idea, and the subject
was dropped fora time. .
'Lving alter the farmer went in, the young
man sat in no very satisfactory reflection

'I‘Ahere. alone with hiinselfand the night, he
resolved that 10 would no longer waste his
youth and talent in idle playing, but would
rouse himself to action, and show the ivo-
miin lie loved,and‘ the man who had so

was rich. aid the farmer must not be driven

without hamying thefact ot'bis Oivn wealth?
Sleep cane upon weary, brain while the
question .vas yet unanswered. But the mar;
row took/tho question ino its own hands. .
and his wife and daughter sat: together on
thegpordi.. Dessaint had been with them a
few moucnts; but the Sadnesswhich they
Vainly strove to banish from their faces
‘ made h‘m somehow feel that there was a
circle if which be for med no part at such a
time, ind from which he ought to willi-
draw. ' , - .
Sone had betakcn himself to his room
jusriverhead, and was sitting at the win-
dow playing softly On his flute. While thus
englged he saw a small, unprepossessing
looting man.,drive up to the gate, and, after
, seclring his horse, walk quickly into the
' yuil. Presently loud tones below caused
hiaLto cease playing, and‘ then the angry
' wrrds of the stranger caught his ear :
,l‘Well, ivell, Jtihn.Buttei'worth,every dog
dust have his day. You had yours twenty
gears ago, when you brought Nancy Col-
gate home to your father’s house; and now
Lt’ll have mine when .1 drive her out of it.
‘he might have had me and been a rich
woman til-day ; but she chose you, and new
' she may lie in the bed she has made.”
Then Louis heard the manly but discour-
aged reply ot the farmer, and then the spir-
ited tones of his wife as she said:
“Yes, Solomon Wilson, I have made my
choice, and be sure I had rather take my
John to-daypwithout a cent, than you with
all your thousands.”
“Very well. Saturday morning at ten
O’clock I’ll have the Sheriff on this porch to
sell the farm to the, highest bidder. . And I
shall be the purchaser, Nancy Butterwortli,
I shall be the purchaser—and that very
week you and your "good for-nothing bus
band and that hussy who can do nothing
but embroidery and piany.-playing-—you’ll
all go packing of? to tll'é poorhouse‘—-”
But the "said mortgage" was here inter-
rttptcd in his eloquent remarks by a very
large-aimed apparition which appeared sud-
denly before him. . , . .
A quick step (in the stairs and Louis Des-
saint had paésed the family group and stood
white with rage before the startled visitor.
“Another word,sir,” he gasped, “and 1
shall forget that you are an old man and I a
young one. You contemptible old scoun
drel, do you think, beca‘use’you hold a mvort

iresirain itself, seiZed Mr. Wilson by the ear

The man drove off, shaking his fist back

To which Abou replied. “The humiliating

propel" impressions, so spiritualized, if I may
use the expression, astouso a pang or two
after they have done a wrong thing, btit
they are not common. Listen to my own,
experience. A great litany years ago. in
Persia. I made the acquaintance of a party
of men who met frequently to indulge in a
game played»w,ith_card's,jwhicli, I presume
you know nothing of here; called in Persia
draIi-poquier. girls a curious game. The
carjd‘sare dealt one-at a time. till each has
five; then those who are plaviug put on the
center ofthe table acoin, such as has been
determined upon—say a kopeck ; then they
are allOwed to throw away as many; cards
as they choose, taking from the pack an

the aged one, impoveris’h me,” and the bet-
ting begins. It is a curious game, ...and
fluctuating, the players '00ng kept in a
pleasant state ol’ uncertainty as IO‘wbat the
others have, till‘ they call it ‘showrdown.’
“ Well, I learned this game and played it
with unvarying success for some days,.wi_n-
ning, on the average some four or five dir-
heuis at a sitting. .As I gathered up my
spoils I saw nothing wrong inille game. it
seemed to me a most desirabe,.and in all
respects, a gentleman] ygame. ‘1 am sorry}.
I said to inys‘ell,’ ‘for liafiii the : bellows

bitt Allah knows I riskiny substance on the

is there wrong in it? It is my money.which
I risk. There is no trickery or cheating

alike in my hand—that is to say three aces
'-and when the cards were'helped, as the
phrase is. 1 took another. Hafiz drew one
card .to the four he had in his hand. and the
betting began. Now,t’our aces is a strong
hand,there being but one that can beat ,it,
namely, a strata-phlush. I Wugered a

ing wrong in those fottr aces, nor in making
out of Hafiz, the bellows mender, all that he
should make by his trade for a. year. He
saw my modest kopeck and said that he
would wager a dirhem in addition. Exult-
ing in the strength of my four aces,I gladly
put up lhe dirhe‘m, and remarked that such
was my faith in my, hand that I 'would im-
poverish 'him' to the extentof ten dirhems
more. Hafiz—oriwhosehead light‘curses !—
saw the ten di‘rhems, and boosted me
(boosted is a' Persian phrase) one hundred
dirhems. I made sure that the four aces
was not an optical illusion, and went him
one thousand dirhems,‘whicli he saw. and
came back on me five thousand derhems,
which, feeling that it would be cruel to
utterly ruin him, I called, without further
gvmnastics. Smiling Ilaid down my four
aces and reached tor the property. Smil-

eager hand,and laid down beside my four
aces his accursed hand, which was a strate-

“Then I experienced a feeling of remorse.
Then I felt that drab poquier was gamb-
ling, and that gambling in any form was a
sin ofthe most heinous nature, and that I
had been guilty of a crime. ‘0h,why,’Iex-
claimed, ‘did I ever permit myselfto become
infatuated with the desire for gaming! IfI
win, it is my neighbor-‘3 dirhems; if I lose,
it is my own. In any case, there is nothing
of actual value that passes. While wense
capital in gambling, we produce nothing.
One side is richer, the. other poorer, and
there has been a waste of precious time.
Besides, it is terribly demoralizing. It in-
faluates a man and enfeebles his mind. His
mind dwell on the game to the exclusion of
everything that is good, it crushes out
everything that is high and noble, and dc-
velops everything that is mean and small
in One’s nature. It ruins the loser finan-
cially and ruins the winner morally.
Wretch that I am! why (lid I ever permit
myself to play at all? Why did I permit
This cursed infatuation to grip me? And
remorse sat on me, and I- beat my breast
and pulled my hair. Bewailing my wickedi
ness.I determined to purge myself of the
unholy. thing. Would I have so thought
and so done had I held the strait: plush, and
the accursed bellows-mender the four aces?

A GERMAN GENERAL ox WASHINGTON.—
Professor G. W. Greene, in the October
Atlantic, gives these curious utterances of -
General De Kalb, when serving under
Washington :
“He is the most amiable, kind hearted
and upright of men ; but as a general be is
co indolent, too slow, and far to weak; be-
sides, hc has a tinge of vanity in his compo-
sition,aud over-estimates himself, In my
opinion, whatever success he may have will
be owing to good luck and to the blunders
of- his adverstries. rather than to his abili-
ties. I may. say that he does not even know
now to improve upon the grossest blunders
ot'hls enemy. He has not yet overcome his
old prejudices against the French”. This
language sounds strangely as applied to
Washington;yet it: is historically import-
tnt to know that it was actually used,
though at the time of the Conway cabal,
when Washington’s enemies Were bold and
loud. But there > is no reason. to suppose
that De Kalb was in any way connected
with that infamous intrigue.
A few weeks later his opinion is material-
ly modified. “He is the bravest and truest
41‘ men,” he writes, “has the best intentions
and it sound judgment. I am convinced.
that he would accomplish substantial results
if he would only act more upon his own re-
sponsibility; but it is a pity that he is so
weak, and has the worst of advisers in the
men who enjoy his confidence.” He has
already written, ‘ It is unfortunate that
Washington is so easily led.” This is nearly
the language or Lee and Reed a. year before.
l‘hey had all mistaken for want of decismu
the self-distrust which arose from a con-
sciousness ofinexperience. It was not long
oet‘ore De Kalb’s‘ opinion was still further
modified. “He must be a very modest man.
. . He did and does more every day
than could be expected from any general in
the world in the same circumstances, and
. . . I think him the only proper or-
sort, . by his natural and acqu red
capacity, his bravery, good sense, upright-
ness, and honesty, to keep. up the spirits of
the army and people, and . . _ I 100
Upon him as the sole defender of his coun-
try’s cause. :Tlius much I thought myself
obliged to say unvthat head. I only could

The greenback dollar is worth 85 cents in
gold. The 6-20 bond is worth 118 in green-
backs. The interest bearing bonds arewaith
more than the paper currency. Why is
this? Both are issued by the same gOVern-
men, and basal upon the same security. It
is plain enough. The one is a definiteprom-
ise to pay in gold. The other is an indefi-
nite promise to pay paper. The rich man
holds the bond.‘ The poor man gets noth-
ing better than the paper dollar. The re;-
publican party proposes to make the poor
man’s dollar as good;as the rich man’s bond.

Tropical Fruits Consumed In San

The San Francisco Bulletin of July 13lh
, says: "The orange. the lime, the lemon, and
the cocoanut are the principal varieties re-
ceived in this market, and tintil the produc-
tive groves of Los Angelou commenced to
yield generously, the supply was principal-
l_v derived from Mexico and Tahiti. The
Tahiti oranges usually come into market
about the middle of March-,nnd continue to
arrive in large quantities tip to September.
A few straggling lots arccreceived thereaf-
ter frequently as late as November and De-
cember, but they find slow sale. The
California crop coming mostly from Los
Angelos, commences to arrive about the 15st
of December, and the receipts continue
large tip to the close of the season, about
J uuc lst. Large quantities of oranges ar-
rive from Mexico,but the season is brief,
lasting only from about the 1st of No-
vember to the last of December. The Mex-
ican oranges when picked and packed, art
rive in good order, and as they are general-
'ly sold at lower rates than either the Tahiti
~or LosAngelos varietes,“thcy meet with”
ready sale. Notwithstanding the very large
arrivals of Tahiti and. Mexican .‘oranges;in
addition to up; own large crop,- the market
can never be said to be clutter], and very
often the supply is far inadequate. Consid-
erable quantities find' their way to the inter
rior of the state, but the great bnlk'bf them
‘are consumed here. An effort was made
one season to find an outlet across the
,niountains, and two car loads were shipped
,tu Omaha, but the venture did not prove-
profitable, and was abandoned. This sea-
son oranges have not brought the very ex-
treme figuresuealized in former years, but
the general average has been better. The
receipts of California. oranges the last sett-
son amounfetl to upward of 5,300,000, a few
thousandot which came frdm Alameda,
Contra Costa, Sonoma and Solano counties..
:and the balance from Los Angelos county.
':The quantity annually imported froni'Tah-
iti and Mexico will reach 5.000.000 in num-
ber. From J unitary last up to the present
date, 2.403.000 oranges have arrived front
Tahiti; since January lst, 15,000 limes have
lrcached San Francisco from Tahiti, aniline
gquantity produtwd last season in California,
‘was upward of 80,000. Mexico contributes
largc'quantiites of this fruit each year to
our market. There were over 000.000 Cali-
fornia lemons brought to the San Francisco
.market. As the California product has a
vcrv thick rind, it is not so much in favor
ias some other kinds. The Sicily variety is
most in demand by those who can aiford to
pay the difi‘erence in price. Lime juice has
become a noticeable feature among the im-
parts from Tahili, 83 barrels of the article
having been received since January." On
arriyal thejnice is taken from thefiarrels,
the seed and pulp extracted, and the most
of it finds its way in bottles to the side-
board tbc dispensary, and the cook room.
eNota small quantity is sent beyond the
'eastern line of California to other markets.

CATS AND .Twms—Do you remember‘the
German story of the lad who traveled “um
gdaa gruseln 216 lernen” (to learn how to trem-
ble)? Well, I'wlio never rusello (quaked)
:before; had a touch of it a. ew eveningsago."
'I was sitting here quietly . drinking tea- and
four or five men were present. when a out
came to the door. I called “his, bio,” and
offered milk. but puss, after looking at us,
ran away. “Well dost thou, lady;” said a.
quiet, sensible man, a merchant here; “to be
kind to the cat, for I dare say he gets little
enough at home; his father. poor man, can-
not cook for his children every day.” And
then in an explanatory tone to the company,
“Thatis Alec Nasseeree’s boy Yussuf—it
must be Yussuf, because his fellow twin
Isniaeen is with his mule at Negadeh."

what I have things almost absurd from
gentlemen and ladies in Europe; but an

ferent e not from one , in a tail coat.
‘ What i" my butcher’s boy who brings the
meat—a cit ?” I gasped, ,“To be sure, and
he knows well where to look for a bit of
good cookery, you see. All ,twins go out
as cats at night, if they go to sleep hungry;
and their own bodies lie at home like dead
meanwhile, btit no one must touch them, or
they would die. When they grow up to
ten or twelve they leave it off. Whv, your
own boy Achmct does it. Oh, Achmetl"
Aclimet appears. “Boy, don’t you go out
asacat at night?” “No,” said Aclimet,
tranquilly,“I am not a. twin—my sister’s
00115010." Iinquired if people here were
not afraid of such cats. “No, there is no
fear; they only eat a little of the cookery;
but if you beat them they will tell their
parents next day, “so and so beat me in' his
house last night, and show their bruises.

Adams only-twins doll, 'and- if you give
them a sort of onion broth, and camel’s
milk, the first thing when they are born,
they don’t do it at all. Omar professed never
to have heard it, but I am sure he had, only
he dreads being laughed at. One of the
American missionaries told me something
like it, as belonging to the Gopts, but it is
entirely Egyptian. and common to both
religions. I asked several Copts, who
assured me it was true, and told it just the
same. Is it a remnant‘of the doctrine of
transmigration. However, the notion fully
accounts for the horror the people feel at
the idea of killing a a cat—Lady Dufl' Gary,

Children in Factor-lbs. .._
Au eminent Englishman ofscience "rcpoi'ts
after careful investigation, thatfthelphys'ical
stamina of the children employed in- facto-
rice is steadily deteriorating. ' The, number
of those who are unfit to work on‘ ant time
is increasing. This is attributed less to the
hard labor these poor little creatures have
to undergo than to the wretched habits of
the factory operatives. Too- early mar-
riages,slovenliness,intempe ' 'cc, want of
proper open air exercise, and? be excessive
use of tobacco, are noted as main causes of:
the deterioration. ‘- Whatever the causes, the;-
fact is an alarming tine. It 3 is [a serious
question whether-children sho'uld be allow;

CULTURE A Mums -NOT— An Eryn—We
must notmake' culture an idol, as is the
fashion, but regard it its-merely one of the
forces that go to keep-the wOrld in motion.
It is a means, not an end. It is no more to
be worshipped for itselfthan is the knowl~
edge of the multiplication table. We should
not let ourselves be swamped in our luxu-
ries. Theman should always be better than
his surroundings; he should absorb what is
good in them, and stand above them. It is
to the credit of; man tolrlse purified by his
experience, however bitter it may be, and
certain] he should not fall into joyous self-
content ecause he has the knowledge of
bric-a-brac. That is no‘ better than. the
strength of the giant who forever lolls upon
the sofa. The collection of- curiosities, the
ransacking of the globe after singularities,
and the consequent selfish thrilling with
enjoyment, are not enough. Indeed. the
mere enjoyment is in itself idle, unpropuct-
ive, and, if it interferes wnlt work. harmful,
however delightful it may be. That it is
delightful no one can deny, but just as fear
of starvation is, however disguised, one of
the strongest inspirations of toil known to
man, the evident danger of comfort, pleas-'

f'Tthciv American Cyclopaidia” was com leted
in 1803, since which-time'the willegciron tion
have taken place in eycry branch otlco ence,lttc-
rature, and art, have induced the editors and uh-
llshers 'to submit it to an exact and- thorouf re.-
vlsion, and to issue a new edition entitle THE
AMERICAN Cream-Ema. * ' '
Within the last ten years the progress of discov-
cry in every department ofknowledgo has niatie a
new work of reference an imperative want.
The movement cl political affairs has kept. one
with the discoveries of.scicnce, and their. 1 Hal
application to the indium-inland useful arts and
the convenience and refinement, of. glacial lire.
Great" wars and consequent revolutions‘havc oc-
curred, involving national changes) of. peanut“-
moment. Thq- civil war of" our. own country,
which was: at its height when thc Inst volume of
the old work appeared, hasrhappily been ended,
and’a. new course of commercial and. industrial ac-
tivity has beanieommenoedt _ . 1'». - . ,
Large accessions to our geographical knowledge
bug's been made by the indefatigable explorers of
. ca. ' .
The great political revolutions of the last decade,
with t 9 natural result of the lapse of time, have
brought into public view a multitude of new men
whose names are in every-onc’s month, and oi
whose lives ever one is curious to know the .ar-
ticnlars. Great idea have been fought an im-
pcrtant‘aicges maintained; or which the‘ details
are as yetyreservcd only in the newspapers or in
the transient“ publications of the dam-but which
ought now to take their place in permanent un-
Iii'prepa'rlug the present edition for the rose, it:
hasra'ccordln ly been the‘ aim: of the e itorq to
bringdowrn t 0 information to the latest .posaible
dates, and. to furnish an accurate. account of
the most recent tllscovcries' in science, of every'
flesh production in literature, and of the newest
inventionsin the practical arts, as well as to give
a succinct and original record of the progress of '
political and historical events. . ‘ '
The work has been begun after long and careful
preliminary labor.“ nllthltIl' the most employe-
zpnrces for carrying it into a. successful termina-
on. -
None of the original stereotype plates have been
used, but every page has been printed on new
type, forming in fact a new Cyclopzedla, With the
same, plan and compass as its, predecessor, but
with far greater pecuniary expenditure. and with
such improvements in its composition as have
been suggested by longer experience and enlarged
knowle ge. \ , - _ « .
The illustrations which are introduced for the
first time in the present edition have been added
not for the sake of ictorial effect. but to give.
greater lucidity and area to the explanations in .
the text. They embrace all branches of science
and natural history, and depict the most famous
and remarkable features ot_scenery, architecture
and art, as well as'the various rocesses of ma-
chanics and manufactures. Alt ough intended
for instruction rather than embellishment, no
pain- have been spared to insure their artistic ex-
cellence - the cost of their execution is enormous,
and it is believed that they will find a welcome re-
ception as an admirable feature of the Cyclopedia,
and Worthy at its high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on
delivery of each volume. ~ It will be completed in
sixteen large octavo volumes, each containin
about Boovpages, fully. illustrated with severe. .
