Manageable men are beginning to
be wary. Even if man is allowed to
visit in the guise Of friend, the chances
are that he will eventually drift into
matrimony. Supposing there are sever
al daughters in the family where he vis>
its, he will look on the number as the
greatest safeguard lie may imagine
that he will never attempt to single out
one, from the difficulty OF discovering
which one to single out. The girls
would, of course, lead him to believe
that they looked upon him as brother,
and that papa and mamma looked upon
him in the light of a son-not a son,in,
law The lucky bachelor would thus
be lulled to sleep. He would become
unguarded in his actions, and would al
low his feelings to lead him whittier
they listed, and as a consequence he
would eventually single some one rose
from these flowers of womanhood, as be-
ing a little fairer, having little more
charming manner, or for in some way or
other coming nearor than her sisters to
his ideas, of all that is excellent to
woman. If bachelor of middle age,
he would most probably have selected
the youngest of the family, cheating
himself into the belief that ne did so
simply out Of sort of fatherly regard
for her. He would christen her the
"baby" of the house, though she might
be fine maiden of eighteen summers,
and have all the airs and ideas of wo>
man of three times her age. He
would prefer walking with her, that be
might point out the beauties Of nature,
or illustrate the harmonies of creation !;
and in effect, he would fail to show his
preference in spite of his awkward apol-
ogies and grotesque efforts at conceal
ment. The sisters would be careful not
to check legitimate sport. They would
manevre SO that the lovers, as they
would jokingly call them, always sat
next one another at the family board,
that they are partners in all amusements,
and that in party drives or walks they
should either be left behind or be LETT
in front. OF course this style of pros
ceeding would not fail to be observed
The lady friend of the family would be
in duty bound to tell her husband, and
the husband would have no other alter
native, than to inform his friend that
owing to the talk of the neighbors, he
must either cease his visits altogether
or continue them on differont footing,
The poor bachelor has but one course
open to him-as a man of honor and a
gentleman, he must as speedily as posi-
bic raise the "baby" of the family tc
the dignity of matron.

Getting Ece9l.

A few days since, scene occurred
in the Railroad Hotel, at -, which
was exceedingly ridiculous, and excited
the mirth of the whole city.
Mr.. Reynolds, the Snowman, had just
landed with large collection of wild
animals, among which were bears, lions
and monkeys-rare birds and huge an
acondas. He went to the hotel, secured
a room, and took his snakes with him in
large trunk. The first night or two
he did very well, having no one with
him in the room. Soon, however, an
other person was sent to his room at a
late hour of the night. He, the new
conner, pulled off his clothes, lit cigar,
placed candle by his bedside and com
menced reading book.
Mr.. Reynolds being much fatigued,
requested the stranger politely to put
out the candle and allow him to sleep.
The stranger, objects, and says that
he has hired half the room aud his bed,
and has the right to burn his candle just
as long as he plesses.
Mr.. Reynolds turns over and tries to
WOO the sleepy god, but all in vain. No
sleep nor slumber would visit his rest,
less couch. So, in fit of desperation,
he jumps up and addresses his room
mate thus:
say, stranger, if you have a right
to burn q candle in this room all night,
l have right to bring in my boy"
The impurturable stranger looked over
his book and simply said:
"You can bring in your boy, and your
gal, too, If you like" and went on read
ing.
Mr.. Reynolps seized his pantaloOus,
jerking out of his pocket key and pro-
ceeded to unlock his trunk. He took
therefrom the enormous spotted snake
approached the bed of the stranger, and
said:
"Permit me to introduce to you my
boy" (boa,) at the same time presenting
the disteuded mouth of the monster close
to the affrighted mans face.
The stranger gave one look of awful
horror-his face became as pale as death
his book fell from his ha1d, he over"
turned his table, candle, and all; gave
one leap from his bed and in pHrts ma
turali6us, he ran down stairs, out in the
street, and yelled for the police. What
became of him afterwards was never
known.

er, he rose every year, until he had
gained a position from which he could
look down on the planter. Wealth came
to him, too. When the great struggle
for independence dawned he was in his
prime, happy husband and one Of the
most distiDg guished men in America.
The struggle went on and soon the
"poor surveyor" held the highest and
proudest position in the land.

"Henry, l fear your mother has fain'

THE NEGLECTED.
Bf LAURA n. wATKINsoN.

I sit beside our cottage door,
And watch for thee to come
The shadows darken o'er the moor,
And yet thou art not here.
All, seldom, seldom do we meet,
As in the long ago
l listen for the tardy feet
That lag and ONE so slow.
The moon is rising bright and clear
Above the forest trees,
The hounds deep bay falls on my ear,
Borne on the evening breeze.
My thoughts gloomy coloring take;
At every sound start
All, come thy presence still can make
A sunshine in my heart.
fear that thou art careless grown,
Forgetful Of each VOW:
Or else would not sit alone
In solitude as now.
Though thou art distant, cold to me,
Thy presence, love, miss,
And envy stars that look on thee,
All trembling with their bliss.
Inc roses tWluluB TOuuu OuT uOor,
Their fragrance breathe for thee;
The birds their notes Of music pour,
To lure thee back to me.
Return, beloved one, return
Why live we thus apart
Bright on its altar still doth burn
Loves flame within my heart.
And as the lonely watchfre
Shines on mid death and doom,
Shooting afar its rays Of light
Ger the surrounding gloom
So Love survives. though Hope and Joy
In their pale ashes lie;
All that thy GOODNESS could destroy,
All dead that e'er could die.
Yet once thy voice was low and soft,
Trembling with passions fire,
As the sweet south wind murmurs of
Der the Eolian Tyre.
But now thy glance is cold and sterr
AS bleak December's sky:
Alas that we should live to learn
That love can never die.
We think not in youths sunny hours
How soon joy will depart,
And all life's fairest, brightest flo wer
Lie withering in the heart.

the slightest stoop of the shoulders
feet and hands small, an oval face, very
young looking for its fifty. eight years of
care; light blue eyes, gentle as womaD's
and clear asa boys the mouth we'll cut,
but with straigh: lines around the cor
ners, and the appearance of having been
made from harder material than the
rest of the face; the nose not remarka.
BILE, but the brow broad, rounding and
smooth, with thoroughly Saxon hair
falling to his shoulders, and looking
little thin on the top and streaked with
threads of silver; a moustache of the
same color Was the only hair on his face
He wore his brigadier generals uniform
in a careless, half-indisn way that look

U1CS
The Boston Journals New York cor.
respon dent writes: A. T. Stewart works
probably more hours than any mechanic
or laboring man in the State. His vast
business is in his own hands. He con-
suits pobody as to buying or selling. He
has many partners in the profits and not
in the management of the business. His
system is exacting but efficient. His
men are all timid. Ii they are late, or
if they overrun the time allowed for
lunch, if they set down during business
hours, if they eat N the store, they are
iued. No person is allowed to take
bundle into the store unless the "walk>
ing gentleman marks it," No bundle
leaves the store without being examined.
Mr.. Stewart is about the first one down
in the morning He takes an early
breakfast, and in one-horse coupe rides
to the store. He INDUCES in leis ure-
ly dinner at a public house at five o'clock.
and then returns to his den and contin-
ues his labors until every item Of busi-
ness in the store is finished. Pleasure
eekers going home from the theater of.
ten see the twinkle of Mr.. Stewards
light in the counting room, showing
that the great millionaire is hard at his
tasks. But it is his recreation. He
finds his pleasure in work, and asks moth
ing more.
Vanderbilt is gigantic speculation.
Like Frederick the Great he takes his
leisure to mass his troops, and in an un'
expected moment throws himself upon
his foe, sure of victory. He is az.
ter the Harlem and Hudson roads. He
is after the New York Central and
means to control the Erie. He takes his
leisure in the morning and divides it be-
tween his breakfast, his cigar and his
horses. He spends a great deal of his
tine in the stables. He has trotting
track in his yard, so that he does not
have to 60 far to try his favorites. At
ten, precisely, he enters his uptown Of.
fee. At twelve he rides up to the
Harlem, and then over to the Hudson
railroad. The rest of the day he gives
to business aud rides. lie seldom ap.
pears at the Stock Board. He buys
through other hands, because he can do
it better.
| d aniel Drew is very quiet man, Of
plain simple habits, seldom speaks and
in his down town office in Broad street,
would be taken for rustic farmer or a
New Jersey trader who is not bright
enough to sharply invest his money.
Ulafin, who is trading so close on
the heels of Stewart, in the dry. goods
trade, was small trader in Worcester.
He bought goods in very small quaint.
ties and was not for carrying home his
own bundles. Like Stewart he manag-
es his own business. He found his
complicated trade wearing upon him,
and like wise man, as he is, he pur-
chased little place up the river. He
leaves his store at four, every afternoon,
drives up his own team, and spends the
evening in the quiet of his own family.
1t is the younger class of traders and
spectators who trade in the night and
give themselves no rest on Sunday.
They reap their reward in premature
decay, sudden failure or great losses.
The line of Demarkation between the
old style of doing business and the new
is very broad.
