CHAPTER II.

The toorfhv milkmdn, and hon he trusted
people ); and the aoonderfNt iuck he had
one morning in finding a precious fTea-
sure.
This chapter is necessarily Retrospective Of
the preceding one.
Among the earliest customers of Ephraim
Foster, there came one morning a little
white headed boy, Mother handsome nor
ugly Ephraim kept shop in one of the
thoroughfares that cross Grand street, east
OF the Bowery; he sold milk, eggs, aud
sundry etceteras-in winter adding to his
aVocatIons, those Of purveyor Of pork and
sausage meat, which is driving and thriv-
ing trade, hereabout, in cold weather
FAR America rivals ancient Greece in its
love Of pork. At the proper season, you
may see, tbickly set through the streets,
the places for furnishing this favOrite winter
eating; beautiful red and white slices,
mighty hams, either fresh or smoked, sides
ana e-quarters- and, at intervals, o grin
nlng head with fat cheeks and ears erect
ctlll more preferable to some, is the power
ilqlly spiced sausage meat, or the jelly-like
head d-cheese.
In the preparation of the latter articles,
the worthy Ephraim always did wonders !;
and folks had confidence in him--which is o
great deal to bestow on q sausage vender -
However. he deserved it ALL He deserved
more. He was one of the best fellows that
ever lived People said now and then that
he would never set the North River a-fre !;
and yet Foster logged along, even in his
pecuniary affairs, faster and steadier than
some who had the reputation of much supe-
rlor cunning. He was, without thinking
Of it at all, cons6tutionally kind, liberal,
and unsel6sh. It was in an humble way, to
be sure but none the less credit for that
tie had knack Of making mistakes against
his own interest-giving the customer the
ODD pennies, and never gouging in weight or
measure.

A DEFINITION OF BIGoTRY.-Old Job
DHnkee was at one time one of the most
popular 'darkies' in Cincinnati He was q
kind of patriarch among the colored popula-
tion and universally liked by the white folks
About the time that ne stosd at the head of
the New street church, he was subpenaed
before Judge Wiseman, to testify to the
character of negro who was charged with
petty larceny.
"Wen, Job," said the Squire, "what do
you know of tho character of the defend
ant !"
"Well, know. considerable bout de col

reverence.
"what is the nature of the offence you
allude to ?"
"Why, de niggar am bigoted."
"He's what ?"
"Bigoted, doesn't you know

"Why, no." replied the Squire, who is

A HIDEOUS MONSTER.

There exists in French society," remarks the
author of Monte Leone, and we may add that
it is by no means limited to French society, o
hideous monster known to all, though no one
disturbs it. Its ravages are great almost incal-
culable. 1t saps reputation, poisons, dishonors
and defles the splendor of the most estimable
form.
This minotaurus, which devours so many in
nocent persons, is especially fearful because
the blows are terrible. 1t presents itself under
the mildest and gentlest forms, and is received
everywhere in the city We find it in our rooms,
in the interior of our families in the palaces of
the opulent, and the garrets of the poor. 1t is
composed of but one phrase, and is called
''THEY SAY"
"Do you know such one 2" is often asked,
and the person is pointed out.
" No but they say his morals are very bad.
He has had strange adventures, and his family
is very unhappy .

Yes they sag he is very much involved
Do you know that fact
"Not |. They sag, though"
This they sag is heard in every relation of life.
1t is deadly mortal, and not to be grasped 1t
goes hither and thither, strikes and kills manly
honor, female virtue, without either sex being
ever conscious of the injury done. Each as he
reads these lines will remember cases illustrating
the truth of what we say.

''Should," says the Secretary, in conclusion,
"the above be the average rate of profits, this
association will terminate in fUe gears fve months
and fourteen days, from the commencement, when
each share will have obtained its value Of 5000"
This statement is verified by the Finance Com
mittee, Samuel Southerden, Jacob Pecare, and
Charles M. Brown, ''who," in the words of these
gentlemen, s'would have shown a more splendid
balance sheet by admitting n portion of the
20 shares unpaid; bat they felt that the state of
the association rendered it quite unnecessary,
and the committee proud of their position in the
association, and still prouder of the association
ITSELF feel it unnecessary to add another word on
the subject of the report now submitted -
Whatever may b.. said by cavillers-those who
would excite distrust in the bosoms Of mechanics
and laborers, they cannot very well get over the
figures and report of the Finance Committee of
the 'sFourth American Building Association. J"
But as Mr.. MuLKEN is more explicit on this
point, we shall leave it with those gentlemen
anxious to destroy confidence in these associa-
tions, to answer his logic.
The National Democrat and the Police Gazette,
have published two or three articles adverse to
associations. The reasoning Of the first named
paper may be readily disposed Of. In an article
in the Wednesday issue, the Democrat says
"we see a single adv 'ntage to man who ant
home by becoming member of one OF these sssocia-
tons and which advantage cannot have by not being
member"
On Thursday it undertook to satisfactorily
maintain the position it had assumed in the
words quoted above. An extract from the ar l.

adduced =

manner; and after washing Billjiggs's dirty

the Deighboring druggists, bound it mp in

SOMETHING ABOUT THE FAcE.-The ex-
preston of the face is beautiful distinction
of humanity We are little aware of the
influence which it constantly exerts If the
dumb animal ON whom man exercises his
cruelty-if the horse or the dog, when suf-
fering by blow from the violence of man,
could turn upon him with a human look Of
indignation or appeal, could any one resist
the power of the mute expostulation p
How extraordinary, too, the difference of
expression in the human face, by which
the recognition of personal identity is Sc
cured On this small surface, nine inches
by six, are depicted such various traits, that,
among the millions of inhabitants on the
earth, no two have the same lineaments Of
face What dire confusion would ensue, if
all countenances were alike if fathers did
not know their own children by sight, nor
husbands their wives But now, we could
pick out our friend among the multitudes of
the assembled universe.

A REMARKABLE FULFILmENT OF
DREAM.-The London Dispatch mentions in
a late number the following remarkable full
flment of dream William jackson,
railway laborer, residing at Green Hammer
ton, near marlborough, dreamed that he
should be killed OH the railway. He awoke
and told his wife of the circumstance, where
upon she implored him not to 60 that morn
ing to his usual labor on the line. Not
withstanding this he did so, when, strange
enough to state, he accidentally fell from
belfast train in the neighborhood of Flaxby,
and was run over, both his legs and right
arm being crushed in a dreadful manner.
He was brought to the Wheatsheaf Inn,
where he expired three hours after his arri-
val, in spite of all human efforts to save his
life The Coroner's jury returned verdict
of accidental death

New STYLE OF DRESS FOR GENTLE
MEN.-The Wilmington IN c Journal says
gentleman was seen promenading in the
vicinity of the wharvcs, elegantly attired in
-four barrel, with both heads knocked out
He was I" minus" coat, vest, and unwhisper-
ables; but, says the editor, with the promp-
titude of action and fertility of resource,
which are ever characteristic of genius, he
had perceived at once the capabilities of
-four barrel as an article of garmenture,
combining both strength and eheapness, and
thus attired, had enjoyed most delightful,
though somewhat circuitous walk-the tor
tuousity of his course being, no doubt, at
tributable to the cylindrical form of his robe.
As -four barrel is by no means as long as a
man, it may be supposed that portion of
the "human form divine" projected at both
ends, its (the barrel's) upper extremity ter
minating under the arms, and tho lower
coming no further down than the calves of
the legs; thus presenting, as far as longi-
tude is concerned, very fair specimen Of o
white oak Bloomer. From various nautical
expressions which the gentleman addressed
to himself, it is shrewdly suspected that he
is one of those whoss business it is to az

was of club order, rested on the nose.
