ners down upon their knees. there lived
near this place a. meager, miserly fellow
of .the name of Tom Walker. He had a
wife as miserly as himself: they were so
miserly that they even conspired tocheat
each other. Whatever the woman could
lay hands on she hid away; a‘hen could
not cackle but she was on the alert to se-
cI'tireIthe new laid egg. Her husband
was continually prying about to detect
her secret boards. and many and fierce
were the conflicts that took place about
what ought to have been common prop-
erty. They lived in a forlorn looking
house, that stood alone and had an air of
starvation. A few straggling savin
trees. emblems of sterility, grew near it;
no smoke ever curled from its chimney;
no traveler stopped at its door. A miser-
able horse, whose ribs were as articulate
as the bars of a gridiron. stalked about a
field where a thin carpet of moss,
scarcely covering the ragged beds of
uddtng stone. tantalized and balked his
iunger; and sometimes he would lean
his head over the fence, look piteously
at the passer by, and seem to petition dc.
liverance from this land of famine. The
house and its inmates liad altogether a
bad name. Tom’s wife was a tall ter-
ms t. fierce of temEper, loud of ton in
an strong of arm. er voice was of n
heardin-‘wordy warfare with her hus-
band; and his face sometimes showed
signs that their conflicts were not con-
fined to words. No one ventured, how-
ever to interfere between them: the
lonely wayfarer shrunk within himself
at the horrid clamor and clap r claw-
ing: eyed the den of discord as since and
burned onhis way rejoicing, if a bach-
elor, in his celibacy.
, One day that Tom Walker had been to'
adistant of the ne' hborhood, he
took who he considere a short cut
homewards throu hthe swam . Like
most short cuts, it was an ' chosen
route. The swamp was thickly own
With great gloomy pines and lie ocks,
some of them ninety feet hi h, which
made it dark at noon day. and a retreat
for aiIlquhe pwils of this neighborhood. It

the in surface often betrayed the
trav or into a. gulf of black smotherin
mud; there were also dark and stagnan
pools, the abodes of the tadpole. the bull
rag, and the water snake, and where
trunks of mes and hemlocks lay half
drowned, if rotting. looking like alli-
gators, slee ing in the mire.
ToIm long been picking his way
cautiously through this treacherous for-'
est; steppin from tuft to tuft of rushes
and roots w rich afforded precarious foot-
holds among dee' sloughs: or pacing
carefully, like aca , among the rostrate
trunks of trees; startled now on then by
the sudden screamin of the bittern. or
the quaoking of a 'd duck, rising on
thewin from some solitary pool. At
length e arrived at a piece of firm
ground. which ran out like a peninsula.
into the deep bosom of the swamp. It
had been one of the strongholds of the
Indians during their wars with the first
colonists. Here they had thrown up a
kind of fort which they had looked u n
as almost impregnable, and had use as
a place of refuge for their squaws and
children. Nothing remained of the In-
dian fort but a few embankments grad-
ually sinking to the level of the sur-
roundin earth. and already overgrown
inpart oaks and other forest trees,
the falls 0 of which formeda contrast
to the ark pines and hemlocks of the
swamp. -
. It waslate in the dusk of evening that
Tom Walker reached the old fort, andlhs
paused there for awhile to rest himself.
Any one but he would have felt unwi. l-
ing to linger in this lonely, melancholy
place. for, the common peo lo had a bad
opinion of it from'the ries handed
down from the time of the Indian wars;
when it was asserted that the savages
held incantations here and made sacri-
fices to the evil spirit, Tom Walker
however, was not-a-man to be troubled
with any fears of thekind. '
He re e'd himself‘f'or some time on

Tom lifted up his eyes and beheld a

ceedingly surprised, havin neither seen

still more perplexed on observing, as

Indian b. and had a red belt or sash
swath round his body. but his face
was neither black nor cop r color. but
swarthy and ' and . grimed with
mohasif hehad accustomed toroil
among fires and forges. He had a shock
of coarse black hair, that stood out from
his head in all directions; and borean ax
on his shoulder.
He scowled for a moment at Tom with
a pair of great red eyes.
‘What are you doing in my grounds?”
said the black man, with a hoarse growl-
ing voice.
f‘IYour grounds?” said Tom. with a
sneer; "no more your grounds . than
mine: they belbpg to Deacon Peabod ."
"Deacon Pea y bed—d.” said he
s r, “asI flatter myself he will be,
if he oesnot look more to his own sins
and less to his neighbor's. Look yonder
and see how Deacon Peabody is farin ."
Tom- looked in the direction that o
sin-anger pointed.” and beheld, one. of the
these. fair and flourishing wlthout,
' ut rotten at the core. and saw that it
had been nearly hewn through. so that
thofirst high wind was likely toblow it
down. On the bark of the tree was
scored the name of Deacon Peabody. He
now looked round and fOund most of the
tall trees marked with the names of some
t men of the colony, and all more or

he had :been seated. and which had evi-
dently 'ust been he'wn down. bore the

lected a mighty rich man of that name,

{'He's just read for burning!" said
the black man. wit a , lof triumph.
“You see I "nm like 'i to; have a.

black man, pressing his finger on Tom’s
forehead. So saying, he turned of!
among the thickets of the swamp, and
seemed. as Tom said, to go down, down,
down into the earth, until nothing but
his head and shoulders could be seen,
and so on until he totally disap ed.
. When 'l‘om reached home 0 found
the black print of a finger burnt, soil:

could obliterate.
The first news his wife had to tell him
was the sudden death of Absalom Crown-
inshield the rich buccaneer. It was an-
nounced in the papers with the usual
flourish that "a great man had fallen in
Israel."
Tom recollected the tree which his
black friend-had just hewn down. and
winch was ready for burnin . “Let the
freebooter roast," said . om; “who
cares?" He now felt convinced that all
he had heard and seen was no illusion.
He was not prone to let his wife into
his confidence: but as this was an un-
easy secret, he willingly shared it with
her. All her avarice was awakened at
the mention of hidden gold, and she
urged her husband to comply with the
black man's terms and secure what
would make them wealthy for life.
However Tom might have felt disposed
tosell himself to the devil, he was de-
termined not to do so to oblige his wife;
so he flatly refused out of the mere
spirit of contradiction. Many and bitter
were the quarrels they had on the sub-
ject, but t to more she talked the more
resolute was Tom not to be damnedto
lease her. At length she determined
0 drive the bargain on her own account.
and if she succeeded to keep all the gain
to herself.
Being of the same fearless temper as
her husband, she sat off for the old In-
dian fort towards the close of agumm‘ er’s
day. She was many hours abseu' t. When
she came back she was reserved and sul-
len in her replies. She spoke comet
, of a black man whom she had met abou
twilight. bowing at the root of a tall tree.
.—He was sulky. owever, and would not
come to terms: she was to go again with
a propitiatory offering, but what it was
she forbore to say.
The next evening she sat off again for
the swamp, with her apron heavily laden.
Tom waited and waited for her, but in
vain; midnight came. but she did not
make her appearance: morning, noon,
night returned, but still she did not
come. Tom now grew no for her
safety, es ially as he found she had
carried 0 in her apron the silver teapot
and spoons and ever portable article of
,value. Another. big t elapsed, another
morning came; but. no wife. In a word,
she was never heard of more.
What was her real fate nobody knows,
in consequence of . so many pretend-
ing to know. It is one of those facts
that have become confounded by
a variety of historians. Some asserted
that she lost her way among the tangled
mazes of the swamp and sunk into some
pit or slough: others. more uncharitable,
inted that she had eIllbiped with the
household booty and in soil“ to some
other province. while others asserted that
the tempter had decayed her into a dis-
mal puagmire‘. on top of which her hat
was ound lying. In confirmation of this
it was said a great black man with an ax
on his shoulder was seen late. that very
evening cOming out of the swamp. car-
rying a bundle tied in a check apron.
with an air of surly triumph.

however. observes that Tom Walker grew
so anxious about the fate of his wife and
his propertiothat he sat out at length to

L At length. it is said, just in the
rown hour of twilight. when the owls
began to hoot and the bats to flit about,
his attentidn was attracted by the clamor
of carrion crows that were hovering
about a cypress tree. He looked and he'-
held a bundle tied in a check apron _and

Such. accordin to t a most authentic
old story, was that was to be found
of Tom's wife. She had Iprobably at-
tem ted to deal with the back man as
she ’ad been accustomed to deal with
her husband: but though a female scold
is generally considered a match for the
devil. yet in this instance she appears to
l have had the worst of it. She must have
died 9. however, from the part that
remained unconquered. Indeed. it is
said Tom noticed man prints of cloven
‘ feet dee ly stamped a ut the tree. and
several dfuls of hair that looked
as if they had been plucked from
the coarse black shock of the
woodsman. Tom knew his wife’strowess

ders as he looked at the signs of a fierce
clapper clawin . "E ," said he to
himself, “Old ratch must have had a.

seated‘I behind his" ‘des ‘in a counting
hOusein Boston. His reputation fora
ready moneyed man, who would lend
mone out‘ for a good consideration, 'soon
:- abroad. Everybody remembers
t 0 days of Governor Belcher. when
money. was particularly
a 'o’ of paper credit..'1‘he country
had de uged with government bills;
the famous Land bank had been estab-
lished; there had been a. rage for specu-
lating: the people had run mad with
gchemes for new settlements: for build-
.ng Cities in the wilderness: land jobber-s
went about with maps of grants and
townships and Eldorados 1 ing no-
body knew where, but whic, every-
body wns ready to purchase. In a
word. the great speculatin fever which
breaks out every now an then in the
country had raged to an alarming de-
gree, and everybody was dreaming of
making sudden fortunes from nothing.
As usual, the fever had subsided; the
dream had gone off, and the imaginary
fortunes wit it: the tients Were le t
in doleful plight. and t 9 whole country
respgpded with the consequent cry of
.“h times."
At this ropitlous time of public dis-
tress did om Walker set up as a usurer
in Boston. His door was soon thronged
by customers. The needy and the ad-
venturous. the bling speculator, the
dreaming Ian jobber, the thriftless
tradesman, the merchant with cracked
credit. in fiiort. every One drineg to raise

Thus Tom was the universal friend of
the need . and he acted like a "friend in
need:" t at is to say, he always exacted
good pay and good security. In propor-
tion to the distress of the apglicant was
the hardn of his forms. 0 accumu-
lated bon and mortgages, gradually
squeezed his customers closer and closer,
and sent them at length dry as a sponge
from his door.

and exalted his cocked hat. upon ’change.
He built himself. as usual, a vast house
out of ostentation, but left the greater
part of it unfinished and unfurnished
out of parsimony. He even set up a
carria in the fullness of his vainglory,
thou he nearly starved the horses
whic drew it; and as the ungreased.
wheels groaned and screeched on the.
’axletrees you would have thought you
heard the souls of the poor debtors he
was s ueezing.
As om waxed old. however, he grew
thoughtful. Havin secured the good
things of this war d. he' began to feel
itihnxiOiIis 'aboIpt those of {he next. He
oug it wit regret on t o bargain
had made with his black friend, and set
his wits to work to cheat him out of the
conditions. He became, therefore. all
of a sudden, a violent church-goon Ho
prayed loudly and strenuously, as if
eaven were to be taken by orco of
lungs. Indeed. one might always tell
when he had sinned most during the week
bh the clamor of his Sunda devotion.
T c quiet Christians who h been mod-
estly and steadfastly travelin Zionward
were struck with self ioeprooc at seeing
themselves so suddenly outstripped in
their career by this new '9 con-
vert. Tom was as rigid in relig-
ions as in money matters: he was .a
stern supervisor and censurer of his
neighbors. and seemed to think every sin
entered it to their account become .3
credit on is own side of the page. He
even talked of theexpediency of reviving

frequently be found reading it-when peo-
le called on business: on such‘occasions
9 would lay his green spectacles on the.
book, to mark the place. while he turned
round to drive some usurious bargain.
Some say that Tom grew 3 little crack

worst to give his old friend a run for it.
This, however, is probabl a more old
wives‘ fable. Ifhereally 'd take sunha
ecaution it was totally superfluous; at
grist sosays the authentic old legend,
which closeshis story in the following
manner:
On one hot afternoon in the dog days,
just as a terrible black thunder gust was
coming up, Tom sat in his counting
house in his white linen cap and India
silk morning gown. He was on the int
of foreclosing a mortgage, by whic he
would complete the ruin of an unlucky
land a tor for whom he had'pro-
fessed be greatest friendship. The poor
land jobber begged him to grant a few
few months‘ dulgence. Tom had
grown testy and irritated and refused
another day.

“I must tailomcaro of m in these
hard times."
“You have made so much money out
of me.“ said the tar.
Tom lost his patience and his piety—
“The devil take me." said he, “if I have
made a far-thing!"
Just then there were three loud knocks
at the street door. He ste ped out to
see who was there. A blue man was
holding a black horse which neighed and
stamped with impatience.
“Tom, you're come for!" said the black
fellow, gruiily. Tom shrunk back, but
too late. He had left his little Bible
at the bottom of his coat pocket,
and his big Bible on the desk buried
under the mortgage he was about to
foreclose: never was sinner taken more
unawares. The black man whisked him
like a child astride the horse and away
he gallo in the midst of athunder
storm. eclerks stuck their l1pliant be.

the windows. Away went Tom Walker,

Benefits of (Jo-Operative Banking.
Speaking of the benefits of the cooperative
batik system, one who is familiar with its
workings and results says: “The savings of
the mechanic and laboring man are neces-
sarily limited, and, inthe ordinary way of.
laying by a little now and then, they may get *-
discouraged on account of the length of time,

they still see the object for off. But with the .1
assistance rendered by the-union of individ-'

ginning of practical life, the means which,
without this union, would require years Of.
toil and self denial; and then he would only
arrive at the ideal of his mind when
his capacity for its enjoyment would
have pamd the meridian, and his pathway,
in conmquenco of years of toil, is necsmrily' .
downward. Here he begins at the end. as it '
were, and secures the benefits of years of,
saving before he has made any accumula‘a‘i.

essytask; _for “he is working foib'o'pndlic -
wishesto attain, and there is positive, moral
certainty that he will and can reach it. How
much better, then, for every man who is
within reach of these great and good institu-
tions to connect himself therewith and secure
his own independence, and thus feel con-
scious that his ”orgies have not beenI lex-

A Young American.
A good way to learn to love any country is
to be born in it. At any rate, children born
in America, no matter what their foreign
parentage, are usually decided little Ameri-
cans. They soon get “digested into” Ameri-
can life as Wendell Phillips used to it
-whlch is the best posiblo thing for all
parties concerned. I
The editor of Our Youth says he was one
day seated in the barber's chair, while the
knight of the scissius was waving his weap-
ons over his head, when a little boy came
into the room.
The barber spoke to the lad inGerman;
the boy answered In English, whereupon the
said,“lhn.f to lick that little poytomako

Old Clum- Tricks.
Now that I am out of the circus line I do
not mind telling you one of the secrets of the
bushes. It is one of the cutest tricks in the
profession of a ticket seller. While we were
down south and in small towns where the
people were unsophisticated, we would adver-
tise our big elephant, our dens of lions. tigers,
bearsand other animals, when woonly had
horses and mules. ' That was years ago, how-
ever, and the people now have to see all the
the show. Ono fake which every one in the
show was “on to“ was the red ticket. A man
with a young lady would walk boldly up to
the ticket stand, and to impress his lady
companion would pull out aroll of money.
The ticket seller would see it, and after rs-
turning the wrongchango and ticket, would
put one of these red slips into the man’s hate
band, so. , at the some time, that it would
take him “ car through the monagcrls, dr-
cusand concert.” Itwnsbuta mark farther
other fellows, and that man would be hand
to death by the candy, peanut, lemonade,
concertand songbook nun, and when they
got through he would still be a mark forties
pickpockets. If begotontof them with
snyofthst rollhewestin with it was not
his fault-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

It would be well, it maybe remarked
ing, if the low would takss'tops wrcduco tbs
liability totheso, by compelling m and
workshops to be supplied with the M
means of counteracting the effects of no:-
ious gases, masks for the eye, respirators for
the lungs, and a bath house for workmen,
and by shortening the hours of labor in espo-
cinlly dangerous occupations. The mortality
in the trades is two or three times that in the
professions, among which, by the way, the
deaths among' tho'docfors exceed those among
other professional men, owing to their free
quent contact with communicable disease. -
Farr’s “Law of Density” states that “the
nearer men live to each other, the shorteraro’
their lives.” Not only are the poor more ex-
posed to disease and death than the rich, but
the poor in cities than the poor in the coun-
try. The general mortality in cities is twoto
three times higher than that in the country.‘
Twenty-five per cent. of our population to-
day dwell in large cities. Hero exists the
greatest poverty, contamination of the soil
and mortality. In New York 2,076 people
were recently found inhabiting a. single block, '
fourteen or fifteen sometimes intworooms, or
even one, which served as kitchen, workshop,
laundry, bed chamber and parlor. Among
such rookeries exists what is known as the
"tenement house rot," and two-thirds of the
mortality of New York occurs in them. The
liketh of the spread of disease, when once
it has found lodgment in such dens, and the
difficulty of arresting and eradicating
it can scarcely be exaggerated. Among
them a corpse is allowed to lie two
days in the same room in which the fam-
ily eat, work and sleep, with possibly an in-
valid in bed, and the thermometer often
ranging over 100 (legs. The food and waist
are bad, the slops imperfectly disposed of and
the sewer cxhales poisonousgases. Poverty
is forced to endure unhealthy surroundings,
and unhealthy surroundings, in addition to
their probable direct effects. deprive human
beings of their self respect, deaden their in-
tcllects, render their blood impure and so in-
directly make thcm more liable to contract
disease. In the cities of Scotland it has been
found that where the average of persons to
the room is highest, the mortality is the high-
est; in Glasgow, that where the number of
large houses exceeds that of small, it is least,
and vice 'versa. In England and Whles, in
every 1.000 persons 25 die in cities to 17 in the
country. In Rhoda Island, satistics for fif-
teen years show that men’s livm average

one who dies there are ten sick, and note
caseis justifiable. Each patient is sick on
the average about four weeks and there are
l0,000 “sick during. the year. This means
not only a great loss of wages, but a
nurse is required for each person sick, so
