CHAPTER II.

Men said the times would be better,
but the prophecy was vain. Merchants
failed, brokers fuied, banks and insur-
ance companies failed. Business WAS
duiler that 1t had been for the last twen
" years. Poor men lounged at the cor
ners Of the streets, yainly waiting for a
job, while their wives aud children shiv
cred with the cold, aud hungered even
FOR y crust of bread. Ruin and distress
were the order Of the day, and men won
derod where would be the end of it all.
Fred Chester's business did not pay his
shop expenses, 10 say nothing of his
household, aud when that dreadful note
fell due, he had not dollar towards re.
deeming il. Ruin stared hun in the face,
and IL was nov his turn to look sad.
Five hundred dollars was small sum,
yet he could not raise il. Even three per
cent. month without collateral, would
not procure it. Something mus: be done.
Some friend must get him ou, of the
serape, or he must certainly fail. Ills
wiie's father was wealthy, but be married
his daughter against bis wishes, aud there
was no hope in that quarter But El-
lens uncle, blunt, honest master ma.
son, had always looked kindly upon him,

TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES.

We often hear the assertion made that
secret societies, for the suppression of in
temperance, have proved failure. Such
fact, II 1t existed, would no doubt be
gratifying to those who have opposed the
cause, either from interest or prejudice:
but II would be truly discouraging to
those who desire the well being of heir
fellow men. We are happy to be ena-
bicd to state, from authentic information.
that such is not the case. The nstitu-
ton Of the Sons of Temperance still ex-
lists rs vigorous as ever in many places
in this State, as well as throughout the
Unlon. Other Orders, having the same
object III view, still. flourish whilst tue
Good Samaritans are extending their or.
ganzaton IN other States, and exerlinr a
sA'ntary and increasing influence. The
reports OF the recent session of the Grand
Lodge show the Order to be in a -four

Victoria Advocate of the 22d Ult. Let

THE GREAT ELEVATOR

A Southern gentleman, at Northern
hotel, perceiving that the dining room
servant, negro, was bestowing his at
tcnIions elsewhere, TO his own neglect
called up John, and accosted him in this
wise:
John, | have servants at home. and
am waited on as gentleman should be.
am neglected here, and am tired of it.

You like dog unless you behave better"
The consequence was that John ber
came very attentive during the few days
that the gentleman remained On going
away, John was called up and presented
with a dollar or two, which he thus acs
bnowIedged
Thank ee, massa--Southern gentle
men always so lick us like blazes if we
don't wait on 'em well, but when dey 90

OLD BUT GOOD.

One OF the comic papers reyiycs an old
story That Is better now than it was be
fore these days Of spirit seeing and hear
mg. II seems lhat an old sea CAPTAIN.
WHO had reurci from service and was liv
ug Oh farm, had a wild, harum scarum
nephew living with him. lie could ney.

anything III the proper time. Among
the rest, he could no; get him to drive the
COWS up to milk before d.rk-he had to

ed the lad Il he was not afraid to 20

"Fraid. WHATS that! | never seen
!rald," replied the boy.
"N ell, never mind, my lad you will
see one some OF these nights, ii you do
not get the COWS up before dark" SAID
the captain, meaungIy.
That night the boy played until dusk
before he went after the COWS, as usual.
The captain took a sheet and followed
hun. Now, the captain had tame mon.
key, who saw the performance, and mon
key like, took n table cloth and followed
the captain at a respectful distance. The
captain went INTO the middle Of the
woods, where there was a big log by the
side of the path. Going to the further
end OF it, he wound his sheet around him,
got upon it, and stood stu. The monkey
got on the first end wilhout noise, aud
did The same. So the parties stood when
the boy came whistI,ng along, with his
COWS. They shred httle upon seeing
the ghosts, which caused the boy to look
ahead.
Hello! what is that ~ he shouted
"By goiy, guess it's fraid y aud then
spying the monkey, he sung out, "by Je
rusalem, if there amt two lrads-a BIO

This caused the captain to look round,
when hc saw, for the first time, bis ghost

Such is the history of the palmetto,
