Professor Morse.
A STORY OF HIS ADVERSELY.

a
We happened to meet Colonel stroth-
err. the famous Port Crayon, aud the
talk turning as usual upon Morse the
Colonel said:
al knew him we'll. / took les ons
under him in drawing and painting.
first saw him when he was competitor
for the remaining panel in the rotunda
of the Capitol. thought then he ought
to have had it. Think so yet, He was
not a grand artist but he was enough one
to save US from ridicule, The job was
given to Mr.. Powell. General Schenck
did that. The General probably did not
know one picture from another, but Mr..
Powell was his constituent, and he be-
lieved, did Schenck, that something in
the way of art, should be done for the
Miami bottoms, so he worked at it I'M
ill he got the commission"
"And one day." said We, Congress
will give General Sehenck permission to
remove that terrible product of the Mi
ami bottom. But about Morse"
"Well / prepared to become his pupil
and subsequently went to New York and
found him in a room in University place
He had three other pupils, and l soon
found that our Professor had very lit
tie patronage. | paid my fifty dollars
that settled for one quarters instruction.
Morse was faithful teacher, and took as
much interest in our progress, more, in
deed than we did ourselves. But he was
very poor. remember that when my
second quarters pay was due him it did
not come as soon as expected, and the
Professor came in and said courteously:
Well, Strother, my boy, how are we
off for money ?"
"Why Professor" / answered, 81 am
sorry to say have been disappointed
but | expect remittance next week. :"
Next week." he repeated sadly, Il
shall be dead by that time"
dead sir ?"
Yes, dead of starvation"
81 was distressed and astonished.
said hurridly would ten dollars be of
any service?'
"Ten dollars would save my life, that
is all it would do"
81 paid the money all that had, and
we dined together. 1t was modest
meal, but good, and after we had finish
ed he said
"This is my first meal for twenty-four
hours. Strother don't be an artist. 1t
means beggary. Your life dependent
upon people who know nothing of your
art, and care nothing of you. A house
dog lives better, and the very sensitive
ness that stimulates him to work keeps
him alive to suffering.
al remained with Professor Morse
three years, and then we separated
Some years afterwards | met him on
Broadway one day. He was about the
same as before, triAe older, and some
what ruddier. / asked him how he was
getting on with his painting, and he told
me that he had abandoned it; that he
had something better he believed; and
told about his P opposed tie 'egraph. | ac-
companied him to his room, and there
found several miles of wire twisted about
aud the battery which he explained to
me. His pictures finished and unfnish-
ed, we're lying about covered with dust.
Shortly after Congress made an appro-
priation and Morse was on the high road
to wealth and Immortality. = Washing

Hints on Shopping.

1t is poor economy--or, rather, no
economy at ALTO purchase inferior
fabrics because they are cheap. Per
sons in limited circumstances often
commit this error. Jfa calico at ten
cents yard looks about as well as
,one at twelve or fifteen cents, the pru-
dent purchaser will often think il
economy TO choose the low-priced
goods. AS it is low priced, she may
indulge in a yard or two more for
ruifios or bias folds, hattcring herself
that cheap ornamentation is an equiv
alent for fine quality. This mistake
may be seen permcating the entire
wardrobe of many sensible people,
The result is simply this they never
have anything of really good quality,
are always shabby, and always buy.
ing. None but rich people can afford
to buy poor goods. This rule applies
10 all sorts OF goods--muslins, cloths,
carpets and table linen. We grudgc
the time we see women spend in max
ing up muslins of low grade for un-
herclothing. There are so many
stitches in a shirt And when it lasts
ono year instead of two, as IL should,
there is just twice rs much work done
as need TO be. Better mako three
shirts of fine quality muslin than six
of q lower grade of muslin. Just so in
fannels A fifty-cent, all wool Shaker
flannel will wear two or three times
as long as your flimsy cotton and wool
stuff few pennies cheaper. Espcci-
ally IN family of children, fabrics
should be chosen for service, that when
made up they may descend from one
child TO another, thus saving the moth.
or time TO stitch into her brain a IL
tic embroidery of thought and culture.
A few rules with regard 10 shopping
itsclf may bc in place. First: Have q
list of articles to be purchased made
out in black and white. By this
means you will be saved from sudden
temptation to buy what is not really
necessary, and forget nothing that
you require. Second: Deal only with
merchants in whose business integrity
you can confde. Third In the long
run one Away does better TO buy at
one and the same place than run about
fol. the purpose ofhunting up bargains.
A regular customer can often get
iavors denied TO an occasional pur.
chaser. Fourth: Never buy what
you don't want, simply because 1t is
cheap.

Washington Matters.

WORK ON THE TARIFF BILL WEDNESDAY.
The tariff discussion in the House has thus
far been conducted in spirit of great good
humor, except when Mr.. Kelley and MIR.
Kerr took the floor. The one is such an
earnest protectionist, and the other such an
equally earnest free trader, that they do not
seem able to speak on this subject in tenn
perate manner. There was as usual a great
deal of earnestness in the discussion, and as
consequence the progress on the items of the
bill was slow. After much debate the duty on
bituminous coal was fixed at seventy-five
cents per ton. The existing rate is 81 25,
and the Committee of Ways and Means pro-
posed to reduce it to fifty cents. There was
only majority of two for fixing the rate at
seventy-five cents, and this may be changed
by yea and nay vote in the House.
On motion of Mr.. Dawes the duty ON clum,
or siftings of coal, was put at fifteen per cent.
ad valorem. The existing rate is twenty-five
per cent.

not hesitate to say, and says it boldly, that the
