Our Advantages.

Had Queen Elizabeth lived in our
day, her extravaganza would be far
more extensive than it really was, I
imagine; for the old dame-I beg her
pardon, maiden-knew little of real
luxury. During her reign, people would
not eat meat on Wednesday and Satur-
day, except in case of sickness, and
then q license must be obtained one
object of this prohibition was "the
sparing and increase of the flesh victual
of the realm" They had eggs, butter,
honey and cheese, but almost no vege-
tables except acoarse sort of beans and
peas, the former being sometimes, in
case of scarcity, ground with grain tor
the bread of the poor; but it was so
unpalatable that even beggars refused
it when there was possibility of get
ting anything better. Herbs of all
kinds went into the pottage of the poor,
which had not always so much as bone
to give it relish. And these herbs
bitter, often-helped to flavor meats
and fish. Wheaton" bread was scarce,
the poorer classes using a combination
of bran and meal. The popular drink
for men and women was ale We read
that royal Bess consumed her full share
of this beverage. Certainly she had no
other inducement to become guilty of
excess IN appetite, and was thus justi-
fed IN making the most of her privi-
eyes, perhaps.

General sympathy was elected some
two weeks ago in favor of the express
agent at Franklin, KY, when the tele-
graph announced that he had had his
face terribly cut, his skull mashed, and
his safe robbed, by parties unknown.
It now appears that Wood himself took
the money from the safe, and then, to
allay suspicion, cut his gums with
knife to produce blood and disfgure
his mouth, and then knocked his head
against the corner of a counter to pro-
duce the "mashed skull result.

Good Old Times.

A relic of the "good old times has
been discovered by an old world paper
in the shape of bill of charges sub
mitted by an executioner at Bonn to the
authorities of Cologne in 1858. The
following are few of the items con-
templated in his estimate "To quar-
tering by means of four horses, eight
thalers; to beheading and burning,
eight thalers to strangling and burn
ing, six thalers to burning alive, six
thalers to breaking on the wheel alive,
eight thalers to beheading and fasten-
ing the body to the wheel, six thalers ;
to beheading, four thalers ; to behead-
ing after cutting off one hand, five
thalers to cutting off hand or two
fingers, one thaler. Tearing with red
hot pinchers, to be paid for at SO much
gripe. Drowning or burying alive
not being usual in these parts, the exc
cutioner will, in the event of such exc
cutions being required, ask as much as
for beheading or fastening to the wheel
namely, six thalers. To fastening
screws on the thumbs and driving the
same, one thaler for the first quarter OF
an hour; for every subsequent quarter
of an hour, one thaler. The execu-
toner reserves the right of afterward
receiving what may fairly be due to him
for his trouble in setting limbs to rights
again"

Debt and Dishonesty.

One who is anxious to discover the
causes and remedies for the prevailing
lack of honesty traces the matter to the
credit system as we'll as the financial
calamities now upon US. A thousand
honest men are put at the mercy of a
single dishonest man to pay his debts.
If the one pockets his money and re-
fuses to pay, he deprives thousand
who are anxious to do so. The best
way to get capital is to work for it,
Work for wages till you have money
of your own. To use another's capital,
if you lose it you must replace it. When
a man finds he owes more than he can
pay, he begins to inquire how he can
get rid of his debt. If all he has will
not pay all he owes, then less than all,
he thinks, will pay part, and he hides
a portion or all from creditors. Learn
to make money year before you spend
it, then you will buy less and buy
cheaper. Other things being equal,
dishonesty prevails in proportion to the
facilities for escaping obligations. The
wise man has said that the "borrower
is servant to the lender" and he ought
to be until he returns what he has bor-
rowed. When one has the benefit of an
others labor, property, person, skill and
all are bound for the equivalent. The an
cient Roman and Jewish codes held
that a MANS life and labor should be
bound for his debts. This may appear,
and sometimes is, severe; but strict
justice says, "What doth the Lord thy
God require of thee but to do justly ?"
"Owe no man anything" if you can
help it; but if you do, place what you
have at the disposal of your creditor till
all is paid.

the new happiness that had opened to

the new happiness that had opened to
her.
Mr.. Vanderlain listened, and after a
deal of thought he slowly said, with his
hand upon Fanny's fair head
Dear child, you may rejoice with
out fear. If Arthur has pledged his
honor to this new life, be sure he will
keep the faith I"
Most of the afternoon Arthur spent
at the bank; and as he sat at the table
in the private Office waiting for the
banker, a feeling of sadness and regret
came upon him. 1t would be hard to
leave the old place, and it might be q
long, long time before he could find
another so pleasant.
1t was toward evening when Mr.. Van
derlain came in, looking flushed and
self-satisfed. E
81 have kept you waiting, Arthur,
but have been busy. l have made a
gramme."
"Ah And then you are not going
away ?"
"Yes-I shall go to Europe; but I
shall not give up my banking business.
l have found new man-one safe, re-
liable, and comprehensive, I think,
will take my business while am alb
sent"
"Mr. Vanderlain," cried Che young
man, frankly, "I am glad of this, for I
know l shall be able to persuade you
to let me keep my place in your en-
ploy."
The banker shook his head.
Arthur trembled, and started to
speak.
tut, tut-not your present place,
Arthur. Know that YOU are my new
man. If you will take charge of my
business, L shall not let it go from me;
and shall leave it in your hands, know
ing that both it and you will prosper.
What say you?"
"Mr. Vanderlain !"
"Ah my boy, 1 have seen your wife.
/ found her crying for joy. And when
she told me whence her joy came,
knew there was joy for me also. To
the nea0 man / give my entire conf
dence, and in his hands / fear not to

1t was Arthur Gravely's turn now to

he could have helped the great flood of
peace and blessedness that flowed in
upon his heart.
+" My dear boy" said the banker,
afterwards, did not speak to you in
the other times as perhaps 1 ought. I
knew how you treated others who did
speak, and I forebore. had intended
to speak, however, before l went away,
and, if possible, to get you good place.
But it is all done now. God bless and
keep YOU"
And now, looking back, Arthur Grave
ly sees how near upon the fearful
brink he stood. From his position of
wealth and honor and love, he can see
the dark pit from which he escaped,
and he sees hundreds upon hundreds
sinking into it yearly. He helps the fall
ing ones when he can, and finds unfail-
ing satisfaction in the work. LEDGER.

Tweed In his Prison.

A New York San reporter who visi-
ted VIM. M. Tweed in his prison at
Blackwell's Island, says: While stand
ing in the corridor of one of the wings
the cell occupied by Tweed when he
arrived in the place was pointed out by
the Warden. While glancing up and
down the long corridor the reporter
saw large form emerging from cell.
Keeper Macdonald was with the man.
The reporter had full view of him. 1t
was William M. Tweed. He walked
quickly along the balcony and recog-
nized. the reporter. His face was
flushed, and he seemed much heshier
than when he first became an inmate
of the institution. 1t was evident, how
ever, that his mental anguish is great,
and that he feels his degradation terri
bly,. His hair is very short and his
face smooth. He wore brown panta-
looms, vest, and short coat, but with
the disg uise which would be complete
in many others, no one who had ever
seen him would have failed to recognize
the man who once carried New York in
his pocket. He hurried up the staircase
to the hospital. He had been visiting
sick convict in his cell and admins
tering medicine to him. , i.
DR.. Partridge, who is in charge of
the prison hospital, has never seen
more faithful orderly in the place than
Tweed. The 'ex-Boss arises ut six
o'clock every morning and attends to
the wants of his patients. There, are
seventeen convicts on the sick list in
the hospital Those who are able to
sit up eat at the same table with Tweed
and the head orderly. Tweed has @
place at the head of the table and his
superior officer at the foot. All fare
alike, and the wealthy, orderly never
complains. He is as, much in earnest
and as thorough in lis work as he was
in other and brighter days when he
was Tammany's chieftain, and none of
the sufferers in his care are neglected
by him. It is astonishing, the keepers
say, to see how active he is, When
convict is carried in with crushed
foot or injured in any way Tweed loses
no time in attending to him. de car
ries q little book which contains the
names of the patients and the physi-
clans instructions about the time when
medicine must be given them or when
bandage or plaster should be re;
moved and Others applied. Thus
"John Smith, two pills every two
hours, is never forgotten, and Tweed's
usefulness is apparent to all. Some
think he works SO necessarily to kill
time, but he seems to take a wonderful
interest in every one in the hospital,
and frequently in the middle oi tue
night arises TO attend to the wants e
poor, suffering wretch. IS
AS the army of prisoners in nitlie etiai-
doris sat closely togetherat the ,nsarow
wooden tables eating fheir cod roast
beef, soup, aSds Bfeaas William M.
Tweed, whose saddened countenance
plainly showed his misery, took his
seat at the head of the plain table in
the ihospitab and tried .toNlook cheerful
as he and his fellow suffering convicts
ate their scanty meal
