The Queen at the Paper Mill.

The Queen was riding out IN her grand
carriage, the horses tossing their plumes as il
they felt themselves little better than com
mon horses, and the footnen all decked out
m red, feeling that they had something royal
about them. The Queen had always had
everything she wanted, aud so was quite mis-.
irable because she could not think Of a want
to supply, or a new place to visit.
Al last she bethought her that they had
just been building new paper MILL few
miles out of the city. Now, she had never
seen a paper mill, and so she determined 10
stop little way Of. there leave her carri.
&c, aud walk in, not as a queen, but as an
unknown, common lady. She went in alone,
and told the owner she would like to see his
mill. lie was in great hurry, and did not
know that she was the Queen. But be said
to himself " can crafty the curiousity Of
his lady, aud add to her knowledge and
though am terribly hurried, yet | will do
his Kindness" He then showed her all the
machinery, how they bleach the rags, and
make them white how they grind them into
pulp, how they make sheets, aud smooth them
and dry them, and make them Beautiful
The Queen was astoni.hed and delighted
She would now have something new to think
about and talk about
Just as she was about leaving the mill, she
came to n room filed with old, wornout, dirty
rags AT the door Of this room was great
multitude Of roor, dirty men aud women, aud
children bringing old bags on their backs,
filed with bits Of rags and paper, parts Of
Did newspapers and the like, all exceedingly
filthy. These we're rag pickers, who had
picked these old things out of the streets and
cutters Of the great city
" What do you do with all these vile
things ?" said the Queen.
Why, madam, | make paper out Of them.
70 be sure they are not very profitable stock,
but can use them, aud it keeps these poor
creatures in bread
4" But these rags Why, sir they are of
al eolors and how do you make them white p
"Oh have the power Of taking out all
the dirt and the old colors. You see that
scarlet and that crimson, yet can make
even scarlet aud crimson, the hardest colors to
remove, become white as snow"
Wonderful wonderful" said the Queen
She then took her leave, but the polite
owner Of the mill insisted on walking aud
seeing her safe in her carriage. When she
got in aud bowed to him with smile. and he
saw all the grand establishment, he knew it
vas the Queen
"Well, well !" said he, "she has learned
something at any rate. wish it may be a
essen in true religion
4 few days after, the Queen found lying
upon her writing.desk. a pile of the most
BEAUTIFUL polished paper she had ever seen.
On each sheet we're the letters of her own
name, aud her own likeness. How she did

In the endless need Of repair.
But my thoughts we're about the "huildlng,n
The work sone day 20 he trici,
And III 4 only the gold and the sllvor,
And the precious stones, should abide.
And remembering my own poor Efforts
The wretched work had done,

Look most to your spending. No matter

ways be poor. The art is not in making money,
but in keeping it; little expenses, like mice

waste. Hair by hair, heads get bald straw

drop by drop, the rain comes in the chamber
A barrel is soon empty, If the tap leaks but a

gin with your mouth many thieyespass down

Ia all other things keep within compass. Never
stretch your legs farther than the blankets

choose suitable aud lasting stuff, and not taw-
dry fueries, To be warm is the main thing;
never mind the looks. A fool may make money,
but it needs wise man to spend it. Remem-

A DAMNABLE OUTRAGE.

The Grant negroes OF Cairo are de-
termDed that no Greeley and Brown man
Of color shall live in quiet and safety in
Cairo. Months ago threats were uttered
against the Rev. Mr.. Shores, for no other
reason than that he had avowed his pur-
pose to vote for Horace Greeley, whom he
had known to be friend to the negro
race when the whole tide of public opin-
ion set strongly and irresistibly against
him. The threats against Shores and
other Greeley men, were followed, on
Sunday night last, by an attempt to take
the life Mr.. j. T. Allen.
Mr.. Allen was quietly passing down
Washington avenue, when he was accosted
by crowd of negroes on the opposite
sidewalk ave want to know, Allen, if
you intend to vote for that old traitor
Greeley 'Iintend, if live," replied AL
len, ITO vote for Horace Greeley, as every
freeman has a perfect right to do"
Then" replied his assailants, "by Cd
you shan't live to do it, and following
the words came brickbat, thrown with
great force at Aliens head. This missile
was followed by two others, and had either
Of them accomplished the end intended,
Allen would have been Drained upon the
spot. Seeing his danger he sought a
place OF safety, and thus no doubt, saved
his life.
We can add but little to the iIfamy of
this outrage by comments. The facts as
stated should arouse every honest man to
lively sense of the danger upon which
we are drifting and to the contemplation
of means by which without the shedding
of blood, We can avert them.
