A day of toll and danger, of hope

gas of life and of
Our coming stirred a grouppf Indians,

to group advanced to meet us : .
‘~.'"ith it one who looked the chief, pr
though a savage.
and
.1. he drew near, he led his side, I mine,
Each gazing forward with keen inquest,
To see if the intent were hostile,
To discern the nature, each of each, the
spirit; and the purpose.
He bore his war weapons—spear, and bow
and arrows;
From his head rose leathers;
Battle-scarred were his face and breast
(seen through our glass,) _
We to. him were strange,bcarded and white.
Now, when within duc range of visible sig-
na ,
He halted, doubtful, wary,
Looked toward us, and then, with ques-
tioning mien,
He made the SIGN or THE CROSS.
The SIGN or run Cnoss ;
Rising aloft his warlike spear. and bow,
And crossing his bow upon his spear.
Discerning quickly his inquiry,
The like sign for reply I gave--
Crosslng two bamboo canes at hand.
Now, hastening forward, he loftily saluted
us
Accepting this high sign
As proot of friendship,
lnauity,
brotherho id, hu-
lIe led us to his tents,
Where we were feasted upon strange
game and fruits;
And after being guarded through the night,
On the morrow were sped upon our way.
This savage chief had never known of
Christ
The Child ’ot Bethlehem, the man of Cal—
vary,
'l‘he Son of God who sits at God’s right
hand;
He knew not of redemption through the
Cross;
. Of everlasting life through Christ’s heart’s
blood;
He worshipped unknown gods in Cloud or
Sun.
But some way,
From some other age, sonic dim tradition,
He had learned the Closs
Was sign of amity, of peace.
Thus by rats srox, our lives were saved.
And as the Cross revealed new mystic pow-
ers
Displayed its life to savage as to saint,
To Heaven I raised acclaim:
O wondrous Cross of Calvary!
0 symbol high and great I
Eternal Cross I of universal love the sign I
Man’s hope in life, Life’s hope beyond the
skies!

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
Bnuon’s GOOD Worm—How THE Rica
MEN Lrvs—lloonr AND SANKEv—A
WONDERFUL WORK or ART—THE nnx'r
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE—TAXES.
New YORK, Nov. 19th,1875.
nnnon’s GOOD worm.
Henry Berg's new Society, for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children is doin as
gooda work as his old one for the re-
vention of Cruelty to Animals. He has '
turned his attention to the thousand and one
shows in the city. At the Tivoli Gardens,
in 81h Street,is a boy acrobat, advertised
under the name of “Prince Leo,” who
nightly performs the most difficult feats on
the tight-rope. He is a little, wee child, not
over six years of age, delicate and pretty
as possible. A man named Leonard, a
brute of a fellow, owns him, and has taught
him not only the common feats of tight-
rope performers, but many more startling
and dangerous. Leonard compelled him to
walk the tight-rope blindfolded, to ascend
and dccend a rope fastened at an angle of
forty-five degrees, and a score more of feats
which the oldest equilibrists decline to un-
dertake, and all without any netting under-
neath to save him in the event of falling.
Bergh stationed a. few officers in the audi-
ence, and when Leonard and the boy ap-
peared,they sprang upon the stage and
seized them both. At the cxaminalion the
next morning,it was shown that the child
was the son Of a drunken rag-picker in
Philadelphia, that the father sold him to
Leonard, who has trained him. Leonard
has habitually beaten, starved and abused
him. When practicing, if the child failed
in the slightest particular, the brute would
kick and bruise him,without mercy. He
performs none of the feats willingly; in
fact, there is terror in his face from the
moment he is forced upon the rope till he
is through. He trembles so with rear during
his performance that the chances of failure
are largely increased, but he does it because
he knows that if he fails he takes the chance
of being killed by the :fall, and that if he
escapes that, his brute of a master will half-
lzill him with heating. Think of putting a
boy seven years old, on asmall rope stretch-
ed from floor to ceiling, a distance of sixty
feet, at an angle of forty-five degrees,"and
compelling him to crawl up the terrible
inclinel And then when at the top. sixty
feet from the stage, to slide down the steep
descent with frightful velocity, grasping
the rope only with his toes, brings; 12;. 2
the arms of his master.
Judge Donohue, will put the child in the
charge of the Society, who will find him a
home.
Bergh will go through all the shows, and
take every one of these children out of the
hands’of the brutes who own them. It is
estimated there are three thousand children
in the city similarly employed, in the cheap
theatres and in begging on the streets, who
are slaves in every sense of the word. Mr.
Bergh proposes to emancipate them.
HOW THE RICH MEN LIVE.
Because a man happens to be rich it. does
not follow that he lives in gorgeous style.
Indeed the “ bloated aristocrats ” of New
York, or the most of them, live as quietly
as other people, and a great deal more so
than those whose wealth is of more recent
date. Vanderbilt, whose wealth runs up
a long way into the' millions, lives on.
Fourth street, a most unfashlonable neigh-
borhood in New York, in a very plain
house. Sam Tilden lives on 201b, near
Fourth Avenue, Peter Cooper, on the corner
of 22d anc. Lexington Avenue. Cyrus W.
Field,on Gramercy Park, and Hamilton
Fish, on 17th and Second Avenue. Daniel
Drew’s abode is on the corner of 17th and
Broadway, All these locations have been
abandoned by the fashionable, years ago,
but the old fellows love their old homes,
and stay in them. Peter Goelct. one of the
richest men in New York, lives on the
corner of 18th and Broadway, in an old
house: with ground enough about it- to
pasture a cow, and he keeps his cow on it
The ground is worth probably $500,000,
but Goelet is fond of milk, and he wants it
fresh and good. Counting the interest on
the ground,thc old gentleman‘s milk costs
him about $10 per quart, but he (loscn’t care
for that. He wants good sweet nlilk in his
coffee and he gets it.
A. '1‘. Stewart, has a wonderful mansion
on 5th Avenue, but. I rather think he built
it more for an'advcrtisement for his business
than any thing else. -
The shoddy aristocrats—the suddenly
rich—all live on 5th Avenuc,and the streets
that run into it above 25th. They are
obliged to get into this location to show that
they are rich—those whose wealth is known ,
‘and acknoflcdgcd can do as they are please.
Ishould prefer to be an ancient millionu
sire, for 1 should want the privilege of liv- ;
ing where 1 saw fit without having snobs to {
put me out of conceit with myself. '
MOODY AND 8A NKEY.
Are not the sensation they were when
they began. You can get into the Rink,
rounwithout the slightest trouble, and un-
I. pied seats begin to show. Still the
' igelists keep up their efforts with as‘
'I vigor as ever, and the religious ole-i
.;of Brooklyn seem to be in no wise,

Sinners. ’lho rI-qucsfs fir prayers conic

“a. good brother, in the course of his
remarks,would gel at some other phrase
of Christian experience, but the moment he
did so Moody would bring him back. He
had to talk of “ Love” or nothing. They
now hold live meetings each day.
A woxpnurtn Wont: on Allr.
A memento of interest is thc’potrait of
Washington, woven of silk by the Jacquard
loom,in Lyons,twcnty years ago. Not a
'dozcn copies of this curiosity exist, and the
marvelous. skill 01 their workmanship, to-
gether with their rarity, put a high value on
those in private hands. The owners of the
Jacquard loom wove pictures in the same
manner of the crowned heads of Europe,
Napoleon I, Josephine, Victoria, the Pope,
and Charles X., among the rest, which
were always reserved as presents for Sov-
ereigns, tone_copy being made for each
member of a royal family, after which the
frames were destroyed so that no ruore
could b. produced. The United States
Consul at Lyons seeing these portraits, sug-
gested to the manufacturers that there were
millions of sovereigns in our country, and
it would be ‘wefl to present them who a
picture of their Washington. The firm,
Ponson, Philippe & Vibcrity, agreed, if the
consul would,scnd an authentic protrait of
Washington, and an engraving attcr Stuart‘s
Washington was selected as a model. The
labor of making one of these silk pictures
is something incredible. It took two years
to construct the loom, tlircc engineers
worked at the design, and 28,000 sheets of
cardboard were used in the weaving. The
chain is of white silk, the filling of black
and while, each stitch, guided by passing
through a perforated bit of card, which as I
it wasllsed, rose to the top of the loom and
was cut 00‘. The best of the finest silk is
used for these woven pictures. in export
selected from a hundred pounds of tho l
choicest raw 51]]; only ten pounds lit .for the
purpose, the rest going to make superlative
dress silks. Of the portraits made, the 1111?.
have this lmperishnblc souvenir of Wash-
ington, three others were presented through
him to the cities of Boston, New York and
Philadelphia. One now bangs ill the an.
ton Athencum, the New York copy is in
the Governor’s room at the City Hall. 'A
few others found their way by gift or ex—
change'to private hands. Consul Good-
rich entreatcd that copies might be multi-
plied and sent here, urging that a. fortune
might be made by the sale of them, but the
Frenchmen shrugged their shoulders, obsti-
nate on a point of pride which was with
them to keep those weavings unique. Mr.
Goodrich was lately offered $5,000 for his
picture by a millionare of this city,who is
acollcctor of curious things, btlt his offer
was no temptation. A copy of this silk en-'
graving is in the possession of Mr. O. S.
Baldwin of Brooklyn.
The picture has every appearance of a
steel engraving in line and stlpple, is pecu-
liarly soft and rich in shading, and an ad-
-mirable study of Stuart's protrait. Of the
thousands who have seen one of the five
first copies in the Governor’s i'ooln,not one
in ten thousand has had the slightest idea
that it is one of the marvels of nineteenth
century inventions. No one detects the
fabric except by closest scrutiny, but it_is
silk and well nigh imperishablc.
THE xsxr DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE FOR 'rnn
PRESIDENCY.
Gov. Sam Tilden, a few months ago,
was confident of being the next: Democratic
candidate for the Presidency. He Jiad it
allfixed. His programme was to help to
beat Allen in Ohio, which would settle
him; to help elect Pershing in Pennsyl-
vania, which he could afford to do,Per-
shing having no Presidential aspirations,
and then to make his name the rallying
cry of the Democracy of New York, which
was to carry the State by 00,000. A pretty
programme, wasil not? But somehow it
dld’t work. Allen was barely beaten in
Ohio, Pershing wasunmcrcifully beaten in
Pennsylvania, and the cry 0f “’l‘lldcn and
Reform” was beaten 20,000 in the city of
New York, and escaped defeat in the
State by only 17,000! Where does that
leave the calculating Tllden? Allen is as
strong as he ever was, and if there is a
man on earth who has earned the undying
hatred of Western Democrats that man is
Tildeu. Pennsylvania. Democracy owes
him nothing,for with his help they were
beaten out of their boots, and no man from
New York need enter the ring who has
'4 Tammany {stuck to him, and who: came so
near sinking his party in the State. Ekit
Tildcn; If he ever had a chance it is gone.
Small men should never undertake large
combinations. The Democracy must look
elsewhere for a candidate.
And when it comes to a point the people
of New York are not as food of the De-
mocracv as they were on general princi-
ples. Now that
rAxns ARE HIGHER 'riiAi-z EVER,
they remember that the city has been under
Democratic rule for years, and for what-
ever is bad in the government, which is to
say, the entire government, that party is
responsible. Wheubusiuess was booming,
and when the properly-owner had merely
to put figures on his property, they did
not care for taxes. But now it is quite
different, Rents are Edowu a half. and
thousands of buildings are standing‘cmpty,
whiletaxcs are mounting up frightfully.
The taxes have to be paid whether busi-
ness yields profit or not, or whether the
buildings rent or not. And now that they
are worried to raise money to pay their
taxes, they begin to find that it pays to pay
some attention to polltics,and the more
men think, the less Democracy stilts them.
It was this feeling that overthrew Tamma-
ny this fall-it is this feeling that will give
the State to the Republicans next year,
sure The rings that have been plundered
this city and Brooklyn own the Democratic
party, and the tax-payers find that they can
only kill the rings by killing the party.
Democracy ill New York is not a corpse
ct, but the death-rattle is in its throat.
ct us make a judicious nomination, and
there will be no trouble about carrying
New York. Pmruo.
A Souvenier 01' Anderson.
As soon as the mourners and friends had
left the church where Andersenlics buried,
number ofpoor peoplerushcd in to gather
the flowers and leaves which had fallen
front the coilip,in memory of the dear old
man. Perhaps the most touching incident
of this never-to-be-forgotten day was ' that
ofa poor woman who, simply dressed in a
pensent’s garb, timidly advanced toward
the alter, and: after eagerly. ;but in vain
searching all round for a fl0wer or fallen
twig, murmured sadly, half aloud, half to
herself, “'l‘oo late—they’re all gone,” as the
tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Do you want a flower, my good mother ‘5"
asked a bystander, moved to pity at the
woman‘s evident distress.
“Ah, yes,good Sir! My boy at home will
break his heart ifI don’t take himjust a leaf.
You see, sir, that dear departed angel often
came to see him when he was ill, two Win-
ters ago, and told him a story, and the'd‘oc-
tors say those beautiful stories saved his
life: and he’s my only one, Sir, and he just
worshiped dear Andersen, and he does miss
him so terriablc, and cries so, now the old
gentlemen is dead. that I promised to bring
him a ilowcrxus l herd his coffin was to
have some unfit. lie is lame and cannot
come himself.” _ _
“Take this one. I picked it up from the
spot as it fell." '
“Ah, you are good, dear Sir?" And the
woman tenderly kissed the little sprig,as,
reverently nndgratcfully laying it; in her
bosom she turned away.——-Tcmplc Dir.
SINUULAR EFFECT or DESPISED Love.—
A young lady of Jefferson, N. lI., endcavor~
ed to commit suicide two months ago, on
account ol'a disappointment In love. First
she obtained a pistol and sought to free her-
self from the painso/frgblig‘hjtcd heart. As
she was not a very goo "zshot, she missed
her mark, and before she could again fire
the people of the house rushed in and pre-
ventcd it in that direction. It was soon as-
’ certaincd that she had taken poison, but by
the doctor’s timely assistance her life was
spared for more adventures. Soon after she
tried to hang herself, but was baflled ill that
also. Friday evening last the Baptists of
the town had a sociable. This heroine
thought she would attend. Oil entering she
saw the idol of her heart sitting beside a
young lady. 'l‘llcn was the anger Of her
“my disposition aroused; she advanced and
seized the young miss and dragged her from
llcrclmir and seated llcl'sclf therein. Sud-
denly a new thought struck her. She \l'CIil
out doors, got a whip and returned, and
taught her former lover a lesson for tl‘iiling
with feminine alibi-tion, sill-ll as he will not
soon forget.
A. little three year old boy ill California,
with a. passion for horses, was missed, the
other dny,_and finally found ill a stable stall
with an unbroken and unruly colt. The
child had fastened :l shozt lope around the
hind leg of the colt,and when found was
"playing boss” with the utmost glee." “I
wouldn‘t have tried that trick for $200,” said
the hostlcr. “lfit wasn’t a baby that did it,
he’d been kicked to death sure.” Well, now,
it docs seem as if horses. like dogs and good-
bcartcd men, are fond of children. ‘

Ayer’s Cathartic Pills,
For the relief and
nine of all derange-
ments in the stoni-
ach, liver, and bow-
cls. They are a mild
aperient, and an
excellent purgative.
Being purely vege-
" table, they contain
no mercury or mine-
ral whatever. Much
serious sickness and
snoring is prevent-
ed by their timely
use; and every family should have them on hand
for their protection and relief, when re lured.
Long experience has proved them to be tie saf-
est, surest, and best of all the Pills with which
the market abounds. By their occasxonal use,
the blood is (ratified, the corruptions of the sys«
tem expelle , obstructions removed, and the
whole machinery of life restored to its healthy
activity. Internal organs which become clogged
and sluggish arc cleansed by Ayer’a Pills, and
stimulated into action. Thus mctplcnt: disease
is changed into health, tlle value of which change,
when reckoned Oil the vast multitudes who enjoy
It, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating
makes them pleasant to take, and lrcserves their
virtues unimpaired for any lcngt of time, so
that the are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Althoug searching. they are mild, and o crate
without; disturbance to the constitution, or let, or
occu ation. _ _
Fu 1 directions are glfcn on the wrapper to
each box, how to use them as a Family iysic,
and for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure:—
For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Link-sn-
ness, Languor and Loss of All retire, they
should be ta on moderately to stimn ate the storm
itch, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Com lain: arid its various sym'p-
tOms, Dillon. callaehe, Sicily lien -
ache, Jaunsuco or Green Sicilian, Bil-
loun Colic and Dillon: I‘m-ermtheyshould
be judiciously taken for each case, to correct the
diseased action or rem’ove the obstructions which
cause it. _
For Dysehtery or Diarrhoea, but one
mild dose is generally required. ,
For Rheumatism, Gout, Gravel, Pal-
Blcafion of . the Heart, Pain in the
isle, Back and Lotus, they should be contin-
uously taken, as requiredhto change the diseased
action of the system. with such change those
complaints disappear. .
For Drogsy anst-opidcal Swelling,
theyvshould e taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of a drastic purge.
For Suppression, a large dose should he
talifn, as it produces the dosrred effect by sym-
n iy.
PAs aDlnncr Pill, take one or two Pills to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasmnal dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels, restores the appetite, and invigorates the
system. Hence it is often advantageous where
no serious derangement exists. One who feels
tolerably well often finds that a. dose of these
Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from their .
cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive
apparatus. - 2 .

Imus—A turtle is a reptile. It has a head
like a snake and a little sharp tail and four
claws like a alligator. The rest of him lives
inside the bone so I don’t know what he looks
like. The bones are outside and are called
the shell. They live a great many years.
They are very ugly and stupid and I don’t
think you could tame them if you tried all
summer. I suppose they-are good for some-
thing bnt I don’t know what it is. It is fun
to catch them. In some countries but not in
this they keep them round the houses to kill
bugs. A turtle has no teeth but it don’t
make any difference, for there are bones in
their mouths and can hold on a stick alldny
ifyou stay and pull. I don’t. know how I
should go to work to kill a turtle unlessil
smashed him with a big bummed-"The
shells are really prettywhenyor’r'havc boilg
