The Children’s Home.
If it had not been for a feather you might
never have heard of Beulah Sharpe.
It was just dusk, and two girls were going
home from their work in the mill.
“I tell you, ten dollars a week isn’t bad,
now, is it '1’" the older, 8. coarseilooking girl
was saying.
“I never made that in ~a week before,
replied her companion. “I hardly know how
to spend it.” I
“Pooh, you goose, I never have any
trouble. I'm bound there shan‘t be ‘a girl in
Lincoln, not even Judge Perry’s grand-
daughter, shall‘hzive nicer things than I do.
Say, I paid eighty dollars for that new black
silk of mine.” '
“Why, Joanna Baker?” .
“True as pre-zchln.‘ I‘m going to have
as fine things and good times as anybody,
you believe. D ) you pay anything for
board ?” -
“No; father said when I left school, if I'd
earn my clothes. I might have my board ;
but I was eighteen last week, and I expect.
he’ll think I might help some.” ‘5‘
“You look after the children ; that’s
enough, tell him. See here ; I want you to
see this.”
They had come out on the principal
street of their busy little town now, and
were in front of the largest millincr’s shop.
Here, in the one square window, every con-
ceivable tint that could be. worn from the
seven prismatic colors hung in the brilliant
light in forms of feather, flower or ribbon,
and in the centre and brightest of all was a
long blue plume with silvery floating tips, a
lovely miracle of art, not nature.
“Isn’t that a beauty, Beulah Sharpe? And
It’s just what you want to go with your navy
blue suit. You‘ll make a sensation for once
in your life. I’m going to order a black one
It’s only ten dollars.”
“Only ten dollars 1” echoedBeulah.
“No, and it looks good for twenty. ' Go in
and see."
But Beulah hung back. “I’ll think of it.”
“Pshawl it’ll be gone ; rel. while you can,
is my motto.”
“I never had anything half so lovely,”
hesitatingly. . '
“Don’t stand at that window getting
tempted to foolishness, Beuleh Sharpe, but
come~ home with me,” said a strong clear
voice behind them. “It’s saving the pence
that piles up the pounds in the pocket.”
“Why didn’t you speak to Johanna, too,
Betsey P” asked Beulah, as they walked on.
“There’s no use seeking to draw water
from an empty well,” was the reply; “bpt
you’ve sense when you bring it to the fore,
and ye mind well where it is said in the Holy
Writ: ‘He that gatherclh in summer isa wise
son,’ and the other is a fool, mind ye that
' Beulah Sharpe.” ~
“Well, good night,” said the other running
up the stairs to her own home,—“Hnsn’i.
father come yet, Agnes f” she asked of a
slender girl of fourteen.
“No; I wish he would; the potatoes are
half-spoiled now,” was the fretl‘ul reply.
It was a very plain but not checrless pic—
ture, that little second story home, With
the clean floor, its few pictures on the
white-washed walls, and its petunia in full
bloom in the window seat. The bright fire
was very welcome after the evening chill,
and the song of the lea-kettle and the are-
ma of baked potatoes very suggestive after
a tin-pail dinner. On the Old—fashioned
settee a young girl of seven or eight was
cutting paper dolls and stroking the cat.
Beyond the stove two doors opened into
small bedrooms.
“Agnes is tired and cross to-night,” came
presently from the young miss on the lounge.
“I guess you’ll be if you’d done whatl
have today,” spoke the sister quickly. “Tm;
washing Was dreadful ;; I never stopped 'a
minute till just now. Everybody does get
their clothes so dirty."
Beulah looked at her young sister with a
pang of Self reproach. At her age she was
in school, full of plans of being a teacher, or
a great scholar, or even a writer. One neVei
knows what girls may turn out, least of all
themselves. Then two years later, came
her mother’s long sickness, and Beulah, fired
by a new ambition. went into a factory to
earn money. Then the motherdied, and now
for more than a year the home had been as
we see it tonighthwith thegirl-housekeeper.
It was hard. And just then Mr. Sharpe and
Davy, a year older than Agnes, came in, and
_ the family were at home. "Your hand
trembles, father,",Beulah said, as he took his
second cup of tea from her.
“Yes, I’m growing old,” said the father,
patiently. '
“Father ought not to work so evenings ;
it’s enough for him .to drive nails and plane
all say,” said Davy.
“I wish you wouldn’t, father,” said Ben-
lah. '
Mr. Sharpe did not reply to that, but after
a moment asked, “Did the coal come, Ag.
ncs l’” ' \ .
“Yes, sir ; the man put it in the shed.”
“Did he ask for the money ?” -
“Yes, sir ; I told him what you said.”
There was a little sigh as Mr. Sharpe set
down his cup.
“The rent man’s been here, too,” volun-
teered Ida. .
“You gave him that money, Agnes l”
“Yes, sir.”
“Nine dollarsza month seems a good deal
to pay for three" upstairs rooms,” remarked
Davy.
it
“Get me the Bible, Ida,” said her father, ,
. as they pushed baclrg-from the table; “I am
late tonight.” —
For this plain, quiet carpe’nter never for-
got his Lord, in whose footsteps he humb—
bly walked. The reading for that evening
concluded with the words: “The foxes
have holes, and the birds of the air have
nests; but the Son of Man hath not where
to lay his head.” And, as he finished. Mr.
Sharpe said: “There’s comfort there for
us. I used to hope more than for anything
else to get a home for myself and children ;
but if I never do, and it’s not likely I shall
now, we are as well off as the Saviour was
when on’earth, and that’s enough for me.”
Then followed the simple prayer, and Mr.
Sharpe, taking his hat, Went 035 t0 the
"extra hours.” Agnes and Ida; washed the
dishes, and went to bed. Beulah sat down
by the lamp to mend a rent Ida had made in
playing tag that day. Davy was already there
busy with a slate and pencil, for he had stud-
ied every evening.
“Did you notice what father said after
reading to-nlght ‘9" she asked at last.
“Yes,” answered Davy ; “poor father.”
“Why!” said Beulah, quickly. ,
“I’m afraid he's working too hard. See
110w thin and siooping he’s grown. I tell you
times are hard on a man this year. Wages
are low and money close."
“Davy, I earned ten dollars last week.”
“Whew l” whistled the boy, “I wish I
could. I’d stop his work evenings. I don’t
believe he’ll live a year, at this rate.”
“You don’t mean that, Davy l”
“I just do; see how he coughs nighls.”
“How much does he earn by extra hours?"
“About two dollars a week.”
“I’ll pay him that if he’ll give it up.”
"Good fon you ; he must.“
Again silence on Beulah’s pnrt, slate and
pencil on the boy’s. ' Suddenly a start.
“How. much did they say that coal bil
was P"
“Nine dollars.” .
“Here’s the money ; run and pay it, will
you P" ’
“That I will ;” and boy and bill went off
together, lhe former back in a few moments
with a receipt.
“Good for sore eyes, ” he said, spreading it
on the table. ,
“I‘ll keep'it for father‘s, then,’.’ said his
sister. ' .
Again silence as before, and again Beu-_
lah :
“Davy, do you suppose father feels so dis-
appointed that he has not made lhat home he
wanted P"
“Of course, terribly. Father means a thing
you know, when l. s‘ays it.”
A long silence this time,
_ "Davy. we’ll get the home for him.”
. The boy dropped his pencil. "How ?”
“I don’t know ; we’ll do it. No more
gcwgaws for me. My father is of more ac
count than feathers. We’ll do it, see if~we
don‘t.
“Hurrah for you!" shouted the boy un—
der his breath: “but three ollars a.week isn’t
very steep, and a fellow’s c othes do wear out
so, and I eat an awful sight.”
"Never mind,“ said Beulah, “cut away;
it’ll come.” '
nd that was the foundation of the new
home. Every house has to have a foundation
lower than the stone and mason-work.
Sometimes it is a full pocket; here it was
good will and love for the father, and best of
all, I think, the prayeréor help that went up
from the side of Beula ’s bed, and that told
in simple faith just what was wanted. '
Joanna was highly offended to find that
the Coveted plume nimht hang in lhe win-
dow for all Beulah’s purse, and her temper
was not helped a few days later by seeing it
on the dainty head of Judge Perry’s daughter
and by Belseys remark that it looked rather
better coming out of those gates than a fac—
tory alley. '
Another Monday, Beulah and her ten
dollars brought changes to the little home.
Mr. Sharpe took his two dollars and a week»
old paper, and sat down with a very happy
face for the evening. A stout Biddy had
helped in thewash for three shillings. And
then Beulah took an old stocking and tied
up seven dollars ‘n it, and‘Davy his quar'
ter, and Agnes, who hadbeen let into the .
wonderful secret, her five cents earned by
some coarse trimming, and the whole was
hidden away for a nest egg.
But it was wonderful. what an interest in
real estate began to he felt. by these prospec—»
tive holders.‘ Davy was a grocer’s boy, and
in his frequent journeys about town became
inspector in general of every square rod in
the village limits; and as Beulah was out at
four o’clwk on Saturdays she almost always
had to take a walk to inspect some place
where he had found the welcome placard
“For Sale.” Sometimes the two girls got
into an empty house and examined every
closet, and speculated on possibilities with
the zest of regular hOusehuntcrs.
And regularly every month a snugaddition
was written down in their savings bank book;
[or the stocking soon ceased to serve in that
capacity. At last the year came around, and
in high glee they counted up two hundred
and fifty odd dollars as their result. Of
course, if they could have put as much in
eVery week as that first one it would. have
been more; but Beulah found, as Davy, that
even the plainest clothes would wear out,and
then that coal bill experiment proved too
pleasant not to be repeated sometimes.
"But I’m promoted now a dollar a week,”
said Davy, so that you may 'expect great.
things of me.” ‘
-"But you're that much longer," said Ag—
nes, looking him over with a critical eye.
"And so you are afraid it will take it all to
fill me up, are you ?” asked her brother good-
natnredly, and the conference broke win a
laugh.
“Seems to me you have lots of intimacies
now-a—days,” was injured Ida’s remark.
Of Joanna, Beulah did not see much now.
“She’s getting too shabby for me," the for
mer was heard to remark. "‘I want my
friends up to the times.”
Another winter.of work and saving, but
whenthe birds began to set up their estab-
lishments in the spring—time, and. the-house—
cleaning fever took possession of the matrons:
these planners of ours began to stir them-
selves iu earnest.
“I do hope we shall have a downstairs to
our new home,” pouted Agnes one morning
from a journey to empty a pail.
“And a long bay-window,” dreamed Beulah
out loud.
“What 5” said the practical sister.
“Oh, I was only looking ahead,” answered
the other, laughing. “But after all a window
isn’t so large as a house, and if he can get one
why not the other? Anyway, It looks well
in my picture.”
“Don’t you think we had better buy land,
and let father build ?” asked Davy.
“No; there must be a roof of some kind,
and then he can fix all he likes, but he must '
have one moment of his ‘life of real enjoy-
ment.”
“Even if he has to tear down his roof the
next day,” said Davy, laughing. “What bus-
iness talents you women possess ;” but after
all he felt just the some.
That very day. the prayer from Beulah’s
bedside grew more earnest and fuller of
faith. And with the last of the summer
there came another good answer. Their
mother‘s father, who lived in a distant
state, had 'died in the Spring, and now there
came to Davy, who was his namesake, a
check for one" hundred and fifty dollars, the
result of a small investment made at his
birth. 0
"What will you do with it, Davy ?" asked
his father.
“Leave it in the savings bank until I can
use it,” answered the boy, with a smile for
his sisters.
The first week of fall brought, as usual. 3
vacation in the mill for repairs.
“Now we must look,” said Bnelah.
“I believe I have found it girls,” said Davy,
dropping in ; “the old Kent house is to be
had. for $750.” ‘
Beulah sank into a chair as if struck.
Everybody in L———— knew the old story-
and-a-half brown house standing just at the
edge of the village, on a sunny slope 1771.059
grass bore the earliest tint of green in the
spring, and played in the flickering shadows
of summer, and caught the last smile of an—
tumnal warmth, where a .venerable spinster
had lived and died alone. Now the heir was
a wealthy man many miles away, and the
tiny house under its two shelteri lms, had
only a market value for him. Highnted to
dispose of it, and as Davy’s employer was
also ajusticc, it had been left in‘his hands,
and before sunset the next day the bargain
was made, seven hundred paid in cash, the
rest by note, and the deed made out in, Mr.
Sharpe’s name, and all this time not a whis-
.more per mile in the speed of American
per reached the ears of ‘hc new owner.
“How shall we surprise him?” asked
Agnes.
To their joy they found that the next week
he would be out in the country at work on a
school house, and they laid their plans ac-
cordingly. ,
Tutsday morning he was off, promising to
return on Thursday evening, and fifteen
minutes later the three girls were on their
way with pail and cloth and broom to the
new home.
Oh, how delightful it looked in that 'fair
September morning. with its sheltering clms
locliiilg the branches over the yaw roof, ils
tiny garden in the back, and at the sides
six or eight apple trees bending under their
weight of luscious fruit, old—fashioned
pound sweets and seek-no—further, and the
like. '
“I caigt believe it,” .said Beulah,fitting the
key _ _
“It’s just like a fairy story," said Ida hop-
ping on one foot. But she changed her‘mind
before night about that.
There was a tiny entry With a square front
room oneach side, into whose south windows
a wealth of sunlight was pouring now, rc-
veali'ng dust and cobwebs in abundance.
The one at the right was the kitchen, and
over its-west wifidow a Virginia creeper hung
full of purple fruit,and there was a side door
here too, under an apple tree, with a path
leading to the spiing. There was a little
pantry and two bed rooms also, and up stairs
simply divided into two parts under the roof.
“How he will enjoy finishing this up,” said
Beulah.
As for themselves they made a busy day
of it with soap and sand, and on the next
morning a wagon and Davy were on hand,
and Ida was supremely happy in the fact of
“moving.” The fitting and settling was not
exactly as if lhere had been carpets to fit
and mirrors to carry by hand. They were
quite through by dark, and back on the sec—
ond story door, was lacked a note to “Isaac
Sharpe, Esq,” inviting him to tea in the old
Kent cottage. ' ,
Time fails to tell of the light bread, white
curtains and countless steps of the next day.
Evening came at last. The table was ready;
from the table came unusual savory odors,
and at last, just as everybody was giving him
up, the little gate opened, and the four flew
out of the door together, and overwhelmed
the father with chatter, but not a word of
explanation. While he washed, the girls
hurried on the supper, and they sat down.
The "thanks” were offered, and then Ida
cried : '
“Father, look under your plate.” .
Mr. Sharpe did so, but found only a long,
folded paper. However, he put on his spec-
tacles “to see,” and slowly read out the deed
making over to him all interest in the late
Kent property, and it was paid for.
“Chi-dren, what—” he began, and then he
broke down, and the spectacles had to come
off, and a hankerchief take their place. and
then again they all talked at once, and
laughed and cried, and might have forgotten
their supper entirely if Davy had not ‘been
along, who, of course, being a boy, never
had a slip of memory on that subject.
“And Jim Baker is moving again today as
Well as me," the father said, later on, “but,
poor man, I’m afraid therc’li never be such a
surprise in store for him as for me to—night.
Thank God for my children, and_thank him
too, that to night I can also say, ‘my home.’ "
“And Davy,” Beulah said afterward, “I
verily‘believe that if Betsey had not found
me.that night longing after that feather, and
set me to thinking, this happy day might
never have come to any of us;” and in her
heart she said, “Thank God i" also.-0]m-£s-

It is not a little provoking to find that
while no advance in speed has been made by
the galloping English thoroughbred during
the present century, the American trotter
has improved simultanously to the extent of
being able to travel a mile in considerably
less time than was required for his prede—
cessors to accomplish a like distance, when
Andrew Jackson . was President of the
United States, between 1828 and 1836.
Tradition says that in 1813 Smolensko won
the two thousand guineas in a minute and a
half, and although it is certain that races
were inaccumtely timed by the stop watches
if our forefathers, there is little reason tobe
lieve that any subsequent winner over the
Rowley Mile at Newmarket has abetter time
record to show than that of Sir Charles Bun~
bury’s famous black colt by Sorcerer, whom
Admiral Rous always pronounced to have
been one of the best three-year—olds that he
ever saw stripped. Turning, however, to
the trotting records in which our American
kinsmen take such just pride we shall find
that Topgallant. Columbus, Collector, Lady
Jackson and the best trotters of whom
Hiram Woodruff makes mention as having
flourished about 1830, could not “knock off”
their mile in less than 2:50. All, however,
who take an interest in the American trot-
ting turf are aware that at present there are
six animals in the United States which have
done a mile in 2:15 and less. The names of
these six superlative trotters are St. Julian,
Maud S., Rarus, Goldsmith Maid, Hopeful
and Lulu. Add another second to the record
and there are hosts of other trotters, such as
Smuggler, American Girl, Darby, Occident
and many more which have handled over
a mile course in less than 2:17. Tnus it will
be seen that in the last half century there
has been an advance of half a minute and
trottcrsy So steady and sustained. indeed.
has this improvement been, that last month
Maud S. surpassed the fleetest of her prede-
cessors, and achieved at Chicago the won-
derful feat of covering a mile at the trot in
2:10l.
W11: have lately been told in a contribution
to the Nineteenth Century from the pen of
Mr. W. Seawen Blunt, that "between them
the Darley and Godolphia Arabians may be
said to have recreated the Englis thorough-
bred,” and further, be alleges that every
horse now running deduces his origin from
these two sires. Mr. Blunt seems. however,
to have forgotten that many other sires,
bred on both sides from eastern importations
were foaled in England long before the
Darley and Godolphin Arabians had been
heard of. For insrancc, the blood of a host
of Turkish and Arabian sires anterior to the
two “giants” named by Mr. Blunt, may be
traced in the pedigree of our best horses, and
it is but justice to confess that the Helmsley
Turk, imported by the famous Henry Villiers,
Duke of Buckingham, in the reign of James I,
nodal); Leedes Arabian, who took his name
from his importer. Mr. Leedes, have done
quite as much for our thorougbred stock as
1.119 pair of sires quoted by Mr. Blunt. The
American trotting turf, on the other hand,
Owes its preseht proud pOsilion mainly to a
strain of blood derived from England, in re—
gard to which Mr. Charles J. Foster, of New
York, remarks that the “highest type of
American trotter descends from the English
thoroughbred horse Messenger, imported
into this country toward the end of the last
century. He proceeds to say that "when
the old gray, Messenger, came charging down
the gangplnnk of the ship whicn brought
him over, the value of not less, than
$100,000,000 struck our soil.” The estimates
appears at first sight to be extravagant, but
when it is found, upon investiguiion, that lhe
Messenger blood crops up in. almost all the
best American trottcrs of the presc’nt cen-
tury it is to be regretted, for his own sake,
that Mr. Bullock, better known in his dayl
as “Tom Bullock," was not aware whata.
ireasure he was parting with when he sold
the gray son of Mambrino to a Yankee
speculalor nearly a century since. Tom
Bullock had the reputation of beingr the
astutest, wariest and most knowing turfite of
his time. According to the satirical author
of "The Jocky Club; orA Sketch of the
Manners of the Age,” published in 1792. it
appears that Tom Bullock was “an usurer a
jockey and a Greek,” and in the Quarterly
Review Mr. Apperley, or “Nimrod,” adds
that “he was often heard to declare that he
should wish no better start in life than to be
taken for ii fool at Newmarket.” Messenger
was the best race-horse that he ever had, and
won every match that his wily owner mzide
with him, including one (upon which the
betting was very heavy) against the Prince
of Wales’ Ulysses. Like his son, Mambrlno
was also gray, and was bred in 1768 by Mr.
Atkinson, of Leeds, from whose executors
lie was bought by Lord Grosvcnor. Mam-
bl'ino stoOd as a stallion at Lord Gros-
venor’s stud farm near Newmarket, and, in
addition to siring some good race homes,
was the father of many excellent hunters
and useful road horses. “It is said,"
remarks Mr; James Christian Whyte, “that
from his blood the breed of horses for lhe
coach was brought to its present state‘of
perfection.” '
Hiram WoodrulI tells us that nearly every
American trotter of superior excellence has
Messenger blood in his veins. The first Ken-
tucky sire which seems to have done great
good to the trotting stock of that sporting'
state was Abdallah,~ who was a grandson of
Messenger. From Abdallah’s loins sprang
by far the best _trottiug sire that the United
States have hereto produced, whose- name
was Rysdyk’s Hambletonian, and in the
“List of Trotters with Records of 2:25 or
Better," given in our contemporary, the
National Line Stock Journal, published at -'
Chicago, it appears that Hainbletonian is to
the trotting turf what Touchstone is to our
own. Hiram Woodrulf, morcver believes
that the Messenger blood existed in the most
historical horse ever bred in Hiudoostan,
whose name was Lylee, and who was the
favorite of Rnnjeet Singh, “the Lion of the
Punjab.” It is known that Rnnjeet spent.
enormous sums upon his stud; that his
bridlcs and saddles were inlaid with gold and
studded with precious stones; and that the
Maharajah himself was a desperately hard
river In order to get possession of his in—
comparably gray stallion, Lylee, Rnnjeet
Singh used to boast that he had spent
£600,000 and the lives of 12,000 men. When
the fame of Lylee first reached Runjeet's ears
the horse was the property of You Mohammtd
Kahn, one of the Punjubee princes who had
his capital‘at Peshawur. Rnnjeet opened
negotiations to get hold of Lylee, and having
failed, went to war for that purpose. After
a long contest the arms of the Maharajah
prevailed, and the first condition upon which
he offered peace was that Lylee should be
ceded to him by his vanquished foe. _ After
an infinite number of evasious and subter-
fuges resorted to “by Mohammed Khan the
horse became the property of Rnnjeet, but
he had to fight another war,in order to retain
him. Lylee, who was believed to be the son
of an English thoroughbred, was seen in 1839
by some English olficus, and was “a flee-
bittcn gray, very old, standing sixteen hands
high,” and with all the characteristics of the
Messenger blood. W hen the first Earl
Grosvener died in 1812, it was said that he
had done more to improve the British
thoroughbred than any man that ever lived.
He had been on the iurf for more than half a
century, had spent enormous sums upon it,
and, although noted as a match-maker and as
the owner of many admirable race-horses, it
was calculated upon his death that he was
more than £300,000 out of pocket by his
favorite pursuit.
It is satisfactory to knOw that this vast
sum was not spent in vain. The natural
trotting qualities discernible in the descend-
ants of MeSSenger - come from his sire
Mambrino, who, although bred by anofiier,
was one of Lord Grosvenor’s favorite horses.
From Messenger are descended Andallah,
Hambletoniau, Volunteer, Mambrino Cliiel,
Edward Everett, Alexander's Abdalluh,
Conklin’s Abdnllah,_ Dexter and a host of
famous trotting mares. But richly though
our American kinsmen are indebted to the
Messenger blood, it would be injustice to
deny that they owe still more to the skill,
patience and persiSlency lavished upon
training and bringing the trotter .to perfec
tion by such men as Hiram Woodruff and
Dan Mace. The system of training, teaching,
driving and riding the trotting horse of the
United States is an art of itself, peculiar to
the country which has bred St. Julien, Maud
8., Burns and Goldsmith Maid. These
horses are superior by at least forty seconds
in the mile to any trotters that Europe can
boast, and it is a reproach to us that we
should be left so far in the lurch in develop-
ing the same useful gait at which for the
purposes of the road a horse can travel.
“The English had the stock all along,” says
Hiram Woudrufl’, “but it is our method of
cultivation and perseverance that has made
the difference between their fast tumor of a
mile in three minutes and ours in two
minutes and twenty seconds, or less.” The
season of the year is again at hand when
thousands of our hunting men will have to
go to the covert side upon horsebnekor upon
wheels. As men advance in life they natu—
rally find thc fatigue of a long day in the
saddle upon their hunter's back. sufficiently
onerous, without imposing upon themselves
the additional labor of riding to the covert
side. For these reasons most hunting men
who have passed forty repair to the scene ol
action on wheels; and it has often been a
mailer of surprise to Englishmen who are
familiar with the United States, that the
American buggy drawn by a pair of trotters
has hitherto found so little favor upon this
side of the Atlantic. Instead of the drags,
laudaus, mail phretons, dog carts, victories
and broughams employed to drag their occu-
pants to Covert, an immensity of time would
be sav'ed if the light buggy employed by our
trans-Atlantic kinsmen were adoplcd with a
pair of Hambletonian bred trotters attached
to it. Fourteen or fifteen miles an hour
might be accomplished with ease and comfort
in one'of these light.vchicles,to which a head
is affixed for use in case of rain. The
harness of the horses ought also to be
purchased in the United States, which pride
themselves‘ upon the superiority of their
leather, and upon the skill with which it is
