Yau2g Men in New York.

The World has an elaborate article
on the SUI t,ct of Young Men in New
York, describing some of their trials
and mi5erirs. temptations, etc. There
are, it says, "not less than $4,000
young men in New York between
the ages of Is and 80, Of whom a
large proportion are strangers from
the country, who. in spite Of the
sage counsels, have been tempted to
come here by h"lcs Of making a for
tune"
With regard to clerks ard salcs>
men the writer remarks that "a GER
tain exclusiveness is maintained by
employers, as if they possessed a
natural superiority to those whom
they have to DO their work, though
the superiority, as respects character
and ability, may be wholly in the
opposite direction"
This class is calculated, lie thinks,
to cause a separation into classes
based solely on the distinction Of
wealth. and of adopting that spirit
of caste which is the bane Of society
in older countries. The
custom of giving positions to sons
and other relations, no matter
whether they are competent or not,
also fosters class distinctions, and is
IA bar to the advancement of young
men without means, 40 matter how
competent they may he.

Widow Jones' Cow.


Mr.. Weld, editor of the New York
Dr~puich, tells story in as rich and
Quaint style as any lord Of the quill
We know of. For example:
WidOWer Smiths wagon stopped
one morning before Widow Jones'
door and gave the usual signal that
lie wanted somebody in the house,
by dropping elbows on his knees.
Out trippcd the widow, lively as a
cricket, with q tremendous black
ribbon on her snow.white cap
Good morning was soon said on both
sides. and the widow waited for what
was further to be said.
"Wcll, mu'Qm Jones; perhaps you
don't want to sell one Of your cows,
70 how, nothin', no way, 90 you ?n
"WeII, there, Mister Smith, you
couldn't have spoken my mind bet
ter. \ poor, lone woman like me,
does not know what to do with 50
many creatures, and should he glad
to trade, if we can fix it."
So they adjourned to the meadow
Partner Smith looked at Roam
than ut the widow-then the Down
iuG cow-then at the widow again
and 50 on over the whole forty. The
same call WAS made every day for a
week, but farmer Smith could not
decide which COW he wanted. At
length, on Saturday. when widow
Jones was in a hurry to get through
her baking for Sunday-and had
ever 50 much to do in The house, all
farmers wives and widows have no
Saturday she was little impatient.
Farmer Smith WAS as irrcsolute as
ever.
"That Downing COW is a pretty
fair creature-but-" he stopped to
glance at the widows face, and then
walked around her-not the widow,
but the COW

Prospects Of the Fall ard Winter
Trade,

/ From the New York Economist
/ The present condition Of the fall
. trade in this city Is more satisfactory
than could have been expected a few
months ago. There is q decided aC>
! tiVily in general business, and COM
! m0dities Of all kinds are changing
! hands with freedom. The move
ments OF brCadstuffS are decidedly
active. The heavy shipments of
grain from the West consigned to
Eastern ports, produced quite a pres
urc Tor freight accommodation that
caused an advance of n cent bushCl
a few days ago in wheat rates between
Buffalo and Albany. It is now quite
certain that there Will be Il very
heavy canal business during the bal
Hncc of the season. The through
lines Of railroad are also empl0J ed
to their utmost capacity.
There is every reason to expect that
this activity will continue. There is
more grain in the Western shipping
port than can be conveniently carried
10y holders, aud the quantity is con-
stantiy increasing. There is a very
strong, and probably a well founded,
impression in the West that an active
export demand in the winter Will
force up prices here. Bat speculation
is checked by the expense al carrying
stocks, and the pressure Of arrivals
from the interior, farmers being bust
ly engaged in sending their grain to
market. Besides, there is a large
surplus eff last years crop holding
over, and some of it is said to he in a
damaged condition. However tiis
may be, it Is certain that combina-
ton OF causes are in operation tend
ing TO promote u general activity ID
business.
When the farmers realize on their
products, they buy cotton cloth,
clothes, farming utensils and other
commodities, and liqnidate their
store bills. The country merchants
are thus enabled to buy freely and
pay promptly. The West has a very
large surplus of products to sell, and
viii purchase to a p0ndtng eX'
tent. All that is required Is 10 iaCll-
itute the transfer OF commodities !;
and, fortunately, this condition is
not wanting. The money market is
easy, aud likely to remain so for some
time to come. Last year, the sep.
tembcr gold paniC' locked up money

ously ali that could he desired; a

Mr. Revels then reviewed the history
OF affairs in Georgia, stating that at an
election in November, 1867, for members
to State Convention, 10000 white and

number of colored delegates elected. A
Constitution was framed and ratified, and
a Legislature elected under it was con
vened. After all this supposing they

A Spiritual Mystery.
From the Mystic Conn, ) Jonrn


Here are some queer experiences of a
girl eight years old On returning home
from school a few days ago. rappings
were heard on the windows and around
the sides of the room, the noises following
her from one room to another as she pass
ed through the building. Not only were
there voices heard, but stands, chairs
crockery, large bureaus, heavy bedsteads
and ponderouS ironware were seen to
move percept1bly as she passed them.
The rappings on the window were
frequent and loud,and when the
mother h1 of a the child conf
deptially TOLD her spirit visitors that they
might break the glass, and she would
stand the expense, two panes ofglass came
out in the twinkling of an eye At times
the manifestations were so powerful as
to shake the house, and threaten serious
disaster to the building and its occupants
On one occasion the. child became so ex-
hausted with excitementthat agentleman
present ATTEMPTED to wrap her in two
buffalo robes to quiet her, but the disturb
ance became so much more fearful and
threatening that they were glad to leave
her to the mysterious forces that seemed
to claim the right to control and use her
for their marvellous deeds These phe
nomena are said to have been witnessed
by many persons. Throngs of people
visited thu house to witness these wonders,
and the presence of callers became so
great that the child Was removed to the
house of a friend in Westerly Immedi-
ately after, the manifestations ceased, and
the poor, weakened child was blessed
with quiet and rest. This, surpasses all
the ghost stories we have seen lately.

What pleasant day is Sunday to the
weary man who necessarily catches but
brief glimses Of home during the toillng
week, who is off in the morning while
little eyes are closed in slumber, not back
again at night till they are again sealed
in sleep! What would he know Of the
very children for whom he tolls were it
not for the blessed breathing respite of
Sunday? What honest workingma
child will ever forget this day, when
clean and neat it is his privilege to climb
papa's knee, and hang about his neck,
and tell HIM all the news, which goes to
make up his narrow little world. Mar
row, did we say? We recall the word,
for it widens out into the boundless ocean
of eternity Sunday for the working
mans shildren! So would we have it, a
day hallowed by sweet, pure home infu-
ences, when the little band, quiet complete
shall rest from labor, and love shall write
1t down the blessed day of all the seven.

Comfort for Tea Drinkers,

O.
In the life of most persons period
arrives when the stomach no longer di-
gests enough of the ordinary elements of
food to make up for the natural waste of
the bodily sustenance. The size and
weight OF the body begin to diminish,
more or less perceptibly. At this time
tea comes in as medicine to arrest tire
waste and to keep the body from falling
away so fast, and thus enables the less
energetic powers of digestion still t. sup
ply as much as is needed to repair the
wear and tear Of the solid tissues No
wonder, therefore, that tea should be the
favorite on one hand, with the poor, whose
supply Of substantial food is scanty, and
on the other, with the aged and infrm,
especially of the feebler sex, whose pow
ers of digestion and whose bodily sub
stance have already begun to fail. Nor
is 1T surprising that the aged female, who
has barely enough of weekly income to
buy what are called the common necessa
ries of life, should spend portion Of her
gains in purchasing her ounce of tea.
She can live quite as well on less common
food, when she takes her tea along with it;
while she feels higher, at the same time
more cheerful and filter for her work, be-
cause of the indulgence.

ORIGIN OF THE WORD SALARY.-Spill-
ing salt was held to be an unlucky omen
by the Romans, and the superstition has
descended to ourselves. Leonardo ola Vinci
availed himself OF this tradition in his IA
nous pictures of the Lords Supper, to
indicate Judas Iscaroit by the salt cellar
knocked over accidenlily by his arm.
Salt was used in sacrifice by the Greeks
and Romans, anG also by the Jews, and is
still made use of in baptism by the Roman
Catholic clergy 1t was an emblem of
purity, and of the >anctlfying influence
on others of holy life; hence our Lord
tells his disciples, "Ye are the salt OF the
earth" #
The salt being split after it was placed
on the head of the victim was considered
bad omen, being supposed to signify
that the sacrifice was not accepted and
hence the superstition.
When we say of shiftless fellow that
he does not learn hissalt," we unconscious
| ly allude to an ancient custom among
tie Romans. Among them man was
said to be in possession of a Salary" who
had his "salarium," his allowance of salt
money, or of salt, where

by which he lived. Thus salary comes
from salt-and in this view of the wore

seconded by the ambitious and hospita-
bic young city of Springfield in the effort
to make the Fair in every respect the lar
gest and most successful ever held in the
State. The location of the Fair is con
venient to Delaware and we predict that
a larger proportion of our people viii at
tend it than has attended any State
Fair for years. In this connection it IS
pleasant to know that the c. c. & c.
Railroad. with its Branch from Delaware
to Springfield. will carry passengers for
one full fare from any point on the line
to Springfield and return. Freights will
be carried free that is. the. shipper pays
full freight to Springfield, and when re-
turned to the original point Of shipment
by the original owner. the advance
freight money will be refunded. The
Fair Grounds are commodious and well
supplied with water. Any person may
enter as many different articles for ex-
hibition as he may own. free of charge.
