O, the bitter shame and sorrow
That a time could ever be,
When I let the ISaviour’s spity
Piead' in vain, and proudly answered:
"Allfor self, and 119me Thu
But He found me. I beheld Him
Bleeding on the accursed tree, .
Oileard Him pray, “Forgive them, Father. "
And my mstful heart said faintly:
“Some of self and some of Thee 1"

Day by day His tender mercy,
He .ling, helping, full and free, .
Sweet and strong, and ab! so patient,
Brought me lower, while I whispered :
“Less of self, and more of Thee !”
Higher than the highest heavens,
Deeper than the deepest sea,
Lord, Thy love at last hath conquered :
Grant. me now my soul’s desire—-
“None of self, and all of Thee. 1"

“The Boys of my B oyhood.”
A POET’S REMINISCENCBS OF HIS YOUTH.
One of the entertainments of th& boys of
my time was what were called'the “raisings”
meaning the erection of the timber frames of
houses or barns, to which the boards were
to beafterwards nailed. Here the minister
made a point of being present, and hither the
able-bodied men of the neighborhood, the
young men especially, were summoned. and
took part 1n the work with great alacrity. It
was a spectacle for us next to that of a per-
former on a tight-rope, to see the young men
walk steadily on the narrow footing of the
beams at a great height from the ground, or
as they stood to catch in their hands the
wooden pins and the braces flung to them.
from below. They vied witb each other in
the dexterity and daring with which they
went through with the work, and when the'
skeleton of the building was put together,
some one among them generally capped the
climax of fearless activity by standing 'on the
ridge-pole with his head downward and his
heels in the air. At that time, even the pres-
ence of the minister was no restraint upon
the flow of milk punch and grog which in
some cases was taken to excess. The prac-
tice of calling'the neighbors to- these ‘fra'is-
lugs” is now discontinued in the rural neigh-I
borhoods ; the carpenters provide their own
workmen for the purpose of adjusting the
timbers of the new building to each other,
and there‘ is no consumption of grog.
Another of the entertainments of rustic
life In the region of which I am speaking was
the making of maple sugar. This was a
favorite frolic with the boys. The apparatus
for the sugar camp was a much ruder' kind
than is now used. The sap ' brought in
buckets from the wounded t and pOured
into a great caldron which hung over a hot
tire from a stout horizontal pole supported at
each end by an upright‘htake planted in the
ground. Since that time they'have built in
every maple grove a sugnr-houseI—a little
building' In which the process of making su-
gar is carried on with several ingenious con
trivances unknown at that time, when every-
thing was done in the open air.
From my father's door, in the latter part
of March and the early part of April, we
could see perhapsa dozen I, colums of smoke
rising over the woods in different places
where the work was going on. After the sap
had been collected and boiled for three or
four days,the time came when the thickening
liquid was made to pass into’ the form of
sugar. This was when the sirup had become
of such a consistency that it would “feather"
e—that is to sag, when a" beechen twig, form-
ed at the small end into a. little loop, dipped
into the hot sirup and blown upon by the
breath, set into the air a light, feathery film.
The huge caldroIn was then lifted from the
fire, and its contentsterc either dipped out
Or poured into molds or stirred briskly till
the sirup cooled and took the form of ordinary
brown sugar in loose I grains. This “process.
was exceedingly interesting to the boys who
came to watch its different stages and to tryI
frOm time to time the sirup as it thickened.
In Autumn, the task 0f stripping the
I husks from the ears of Indian cOrn was made
the occasion of social meetings, in. which
'the‘ boys took special part. ' A farmer would
appoint what was called “a husking," to
which he invited his neighbors The cars of
maize in the husk, sometimes along with
part of the stalk, were heaped on the barn
floor. In the evening lanterns were brought,
and seated on dry husks, the men and boys
stripped the ears of the' covering,and break-
ing them from the stem with a sudden jerk,
threw them into baskets placed for the pur-
pose. It was a merry time ; the gossip of
the neighborhood was talked , over, stories
were told. jests went round,'and at the prop.
er hour the assembly adjourned to the dweil- '
lug-house and were treated to pumpkin pie
and cider, which 111 that season had not been
so long from the press astoI have parted with
its sweetness.
Quite as cheerful were the “apple-paringa," '
which on Autumn evenings brought together
the young people of both sexes in little cir-
cles. The fruit of the orchards was pared
and quartered and the core extracted, and a
supply of apples‘ in this state provided for
making what 1s called “apple-sauce,” a kind
of preserve of whichIerIery family laid in a
large quantity every year. . ,
The cider-making season in Autumn was,
at the time of which I' am Ispeaking, some-
what correspondent to the vintage in wine
countries of Europe. Large tracts of land
in New-England were overshadowed by rows
Of apple-trees, and in'the month of May a
journey through that region was .a journey
through a wilderness_ of 11100111. In the
month of October the whole population was
. busy gathering apples under the trees, from
which they fell in heavy showers so the
bi-anches were shaken by the strong arms 'of
tbe farmers. The crack of the cider-mill.
turned by a horse moving in a circle, was
heard in every neighborhood as one of the
most common of rural sounds. The freshly-
pressed juice of- the apples was most agreea-
ble to boyish tastes. and the whole process
of gathering the fruit and making the elder
came in among the more laborious. rural oc.
cupations in a way which diversified them
pleasantly, and which made it ‘seem' a A pas-
time. The time that was given to making
cider, and the number'of barr'els made and
stored in the cellars of .the "farmhouses,
would now seem incredible. A hundred 11.1;

person who possesses more than common
pewer of voice and skill in modulating it,
was employed to teach psalmody', and the
boys were naturally attracted to this school
as a recreation. It often hoppened that the
teacher was an enthusiast in his vocation,
and thundered forth the airs set down in
the musicbooks with a fervor that was con.
tagious. A few of those who attempted to
learn psalmody were told that they had no
aptitude for the art, and were set aside,
but that did not prevent their attendance as
hearers of others.
tunes were in fashion mostly of New-Eng-
land origin, which have since been laid
aside in obeidence to a more fastidious taste.
They were in quick time, sharply accented,
the words clearly articulated, and often run:
ning into fugues in'which the bass,the tenor,
and the treble chased each other from the
middle to the end of the stanza. I recollect
that some impatience was manifested when
- slower and graver airs of church music were
introduced by the choir,Iand I wondered
same time that they were pronounced in
reading.

‘ IA Mysterious Traveller.
On Saturday afternoon a well-dressed man
drove into Bethel, with a fine horse and car.
riage, and stopped at a store near the railroad
station. There he tied and blanketed his
horse, and taking a baud trunk from the car-
riage, went to the stationand took the down
train. This did not I excite immediate suspi-
cion, though it did not escape observatiOn,
and some naturally wondered, of course, why
the traveller shOuld leave his horse in that
way. But when, the'next morning, the horse
was standing at the post, one of the store-
keepers, a Mr. Fox, took him and put him
into a stable. On Monday an adverstiement
washeard of over in Newtown, and having
been sent for, it was found to be a correct de-
scription of the horse'and carriage.
It had been .stolen from a man in Pough-
keepsie, N. Y. The: owner was at once tel.
egraphed, to and came .on the next .day and
claimed'his property. .
' He said that a neighboring store in his city
had been broken into and robbed of about
two thousand dollars worth of silks. The
robbers seemed to think it. wiser to travel by
private conveyance'th'an , to. take either the
Hudson River or Harlem railroads,and there-
fore took this diagonal course across the
country. He was probably aiming, however,
by a circuitous route, for the natural center
of thieves“ 111 this part of the country—New
York. Andes he did n'Ot go by as direct a
route to prison as the Other burglars, his cir-'
cuitous course may after all bring him to the
same termination—or something worse.

probably as little thought that Ithe road he is

sncccess,) as certainly leads to min in the

first witness was Eliza Pinkstone, 0f Ouchita

taken out of bad by a body of armed men
who were not 11in, and all of whom
she had identified and named. Her husband
was shockingly mutilated and then shot to
death for attending a republican meeting

child was murdered while inherarms. She,
the witness, was bamstrung and her thigh

It seemed miraculous how she lived, but she
had sought protection of the board and was
brought hither under protection of a guard.

Dealing with Tramps.
Among the items of the great Pauper
Problem may be noted, as far from being the
least important, that which is known its
“Tramps." The word describes those who
crowd into our cities in the winter, drawing
what resources they can from public and
private charity and in the summer roaming
at large through the country, asking food as
they need it, and money to help them on
their .way. ' In some cases their asking -. is
equivalent to a demand, especially where
presented to unprotected families, who dare
not refuse .the application, which an able
bodied “tramp" could readily enforce.
The example of Massachusetts would seem
to indicate that ‘this nuisance of “tramps,"
which begins to be troublesome at about this
season of the year, is best dealt with in a
somewhat summary manner. A law recent-
ly passed in that State directs that persons
applying to county ofilcers for food or shel-
ter shall be made to pay for their accommo-
dations in manual labor on some of tho pub-
lic works. The effect of this enactment has
proved in; wisdom.
of such applicants in the city of ' Iawrence
alone has fallen off from three hundred a
month to forty. There is a bond Of fellOwI-.
ship unitingtheae lazy strollers, which causes
all news of general interest to them to spread
with marvcilOus rapidity. It does not take
long, therefore, to fill the whole fraternity
with a distaste for any given neighborhood.
A failure of private resources, they reason,
would involve a call upon the public institu-
tious; and the bare possibility of an hour’s
hard work, is enough to turn back an army
of tramps. Such a law, once made general
in its operation, would do much towards rid:
ding the country of a pest. It is gratifying
to learn that the Connecticut Legislature
have .takem hold of the subject, and appoint-
ed a special committee toreport upon it, and
that the services of Dr. Leonard Bacon have
been. enlisted' 1n the movement, .
The subject‘ Is an important one, whether
considered“ in its political or social bearing.
Society must protect itself, and it certainly
would not hesitate to do so by fitting legis.
lation, when at the same time it may ac-
complish the other desirable result of rescu-
ing from vagraucy, indolence, and crime,
these who will otherwise be a social nuisance
and a burden to the State. —anngsll'st.

There was an interesting ceremonial per~
formed last evening at the Methodist Chinese
Mission on Washinton street.
fidential servant and celestial body-guard of
William Sharon, San FranciscO’sI respected
millionaire and Nevada’s honored senator,
was united in wedlock to Mademoiselle Qui
Ho, a lady with many personal charms and a
useful handmaid of the establishment. The
Rev. Otis Gibson, who is in charge of the
mission, sanctified the tie with the impressive
rites of his church. 'The' attendance of
friends of the bride and groom, and 'of curi-
ous Americans, was large and respectable.
About thirty pupils of the Mission school,
who, as a rule, are free from the opium habit,
were present in their native apparel, fresh of
complexion, and even handsome. There
were about. as 'many Chinese ladies, whose
broad sleeves, loose cotton gown and Orna-.
mental styles Of head-dress helped to make
the scene picturesque. A few stra y China-
men from the Chinese quarter looked on with
a puzzled expression on their chalky faces,
and diffused a sickly odor of burnt opium
from their garments. .
The bridegroom came fashionably late, and
somewhat delayed the beginning of the mar-
tinge rite. He was elegantly dressed' 1n broad
cloth made in Parisian fashion, and had his
hair cut in the American mode. His appear
ance and manners were those of a cultivated
European. The bride did not wear white
with orange-flowers and diamonds. Alittle
margin of ophir had been wasted in broad-
cloth, which was made in the style of. Chi-
nese feminine attire—a loose sacque andbroad
manufacture hung from her ears. Gold but-
tons, made of pretty gold dollars of com-
merce,a adorned the sacque profusely, making
a dazzling glitter" 1n the gasdight.
When everyth' as ready the couple took
their places in f 'f Mr. Gibson, the groom
with that confidence that comes of familiarity
with good society, the bride with a dOWncast
look that seemed partly the result of innate
modesty and partly a reminiscence of the Chi-
nese social customs, which make marriage Il-
most a bargain and sale and the wife almost
the slave of the husband. The marriage ser-
vice was in the Chinese language, which Mr
Gibson learned when a missionary in China,
and which flowed from his lips with sufficient
fluency for the occasion. It lasted more than
half an hour, and was listened to with great
attention not only by those chiefly intqrested,
but by all present. When it was finished be
pronounced a benediction, but neglected to
kiss the bride, not knowing how Ah Ki would
interpret such clerical familiarity. Others
then pressed forward to greet the husband
and wife.
Ah Ki speaks English as if to the manor
born. Mrs. Ki, as we may call her speaks it
less fluently, but with a sweet, persuasive ac
cent that indicates a life of submission and
domestic assiduity in the future. Although
but twenty-four years of age, she has been
once married, 11111111.; divorCcd from her hus- ’
band for extreme cruelty, being permitted to
take her maiden name. All Ki has reached
the mature age of twenty-six. He has the
reputation of being intelligent and capable,
and has for many years held a high position
in Senator Sharon’s house when his master
was at home, and traveling with him ina con-
fidential capacity when abroad. Ah Ki and
lady will be seen in Washington at the‘open-
ing of Congress, and will doubtless give me
illustrations at the Capital of Celestial life

or the black fox may command ahigher price
than one of the Russian sable; but the cost
of the latter will be rehitively greater on ac-
count of its smaller size. The fur of the
Russian sable is brown in summer, with some
gray spots on the head, and may be distin-
guished from all other furs by the hairs t'urh-

In winter, when the animal is usually taken,
the color of the fur is a beautiful black. The
darkest skins are the most valuable. In its
natural condition, the far has a bloomy ap-
ed. Sometimes the skins are blackened by
being smoked, but the deception is exposed
by the smell and the crisped hairs. A dyed

with a moist linen cloth, which will then be-

in this case the fraud may be detected by the

in Yakutsk, Kamtchatka, and Russian Lap-

and these command extraordinary prices, the
average price of a raw skin being about .25,
while a choice “crown” Russian sable will

The holiday number of Wide Awake will
be that for January, but the December num-
beris an excellent one. In it are poems,
finely illustrated, by Celia Thaxter, Mary E.
Bradley and Mrs. Bates; an amusing story
about some young Ioutlaws,’ by Kate W.
Hamilton; continuing chapters of the two
«good serials, “Nan” and “Good for Nothing
Polly ;” a story of the misfortunes of street
children, by Madge Elliot; and sketches by
the editor and others, the whole combining
amusements with instruction._ The pages
in large print for the little folks, and the de-
partment which is devoted to puzzles and
the like arevery good. There are also,.ru1es
for the behaviOr of a boy or. girl at a‘party; a
Christmas pantomime; and an original piece
of music. The January number will has
very attractive one.
.“St. Nicholas," Scribner’s brilliant month-
ly for children, has been pronounced by an
English journal “The King Of all' publica-
tions issued for the young on either side of
the Atlantic." The Christmas holiday num»
ber has appeared, and is overflowing with
beautiful pictures, good stories, instructive
sketches, poems, amusing games, &c. For
1877 the managers announce new attractions,
among which are the following: An enter-
taining serial from the French, appropriate

teller, J. T.'_ Trowbridgabeglns in the Christ-
mas number; William Cullen Bryant, the

Harriet Prescott Spofiord, SdsanCoolidge,
Elizabeth‘s! uart Phelps, Louisa Alcott, Lucre-
tia P. Hale,Celia’ Tbaxter,Mary Mapes Dodge,
and others. Surely the children will be better
catered to than the grown folks. Amuse-
ment and instruction. with fun and‘frolic,a11d
wit andeisdom, will be mingled as hereto-
fore, and St. Nicholas will continue to 'de-
light the young and give pleasure to the old.
The Christmas number is sold for 25 cents;
Priceperyear $300. The bound volumes
are. the handsomest, most entertaining books
to be found anywhere. The three completed
