How Il Coat Used To Be Made.

BOYS in these days who can 90 to the
| clothing store, try on a coat, and when
they find one that suits pay for it and
take it home may be interested to know
how boys came by their coats in the old
times. Hon. Amasa Walker tells this
story:
after / had obtained the wool for my
coat and carried it a long distance to be
carded, | found the parties overwhelmed
with business. Everybody desired their
wool carded as well as 1, and 1 was
obliged to wait the natural course of
events, Which meant two weeks l re-
turned home, and when the two weeks
had elapsed again presented myself at
the mill, and inquired for the wool. 1t
would be done in less than another week.
1t was done when l next visited them,
and l took my possession home NV
mother was quite delighted on my arrival,
and at once set to work to spin it on
great wheel. At the appointed time l
made another journey on horseback, with
my bundle behind me, to the cloth store
at Knoxville. l was obliged to be con-
tented with receiving a promise of the
cloth in three weeks. When that time
had gone by l went again, and had to
wait a long time, but finally obtained my
treasure and went home. After three
weeks delay and disappointment Uncle
Daniel gave me the cloth for my surtout,
and then Aunt Debby, the tailoress, had
to be engaged to make it. Aunt Debby
could not come for some days, but at
last, after more hardships in going for
her at early sunrise on a cold, frosty day,
and waiting for her to finish Job, she
was obtained, and the hard-earned gar
ment was at last completed, as well as my
brothers Clothes"

The Chained Fox.

A FOX that had been caught young was
kept chained in yard, and became SO
tame that fowls and geese approached it
without fear
Pretty thing" said its mistress. at
does no harm. 1t is cruel to keep it
chained."
So she unbuckled its collar and let it
run about. Scarcely, however, had she
turned her back than she heard a great
clucking from her poultry. Looking
around, she saw the fox scampering off
with her plump pet pullet thrown over
his shoulder.
You treacherous, ungrateful little
villainw cried the woman, and l thought
you were so good"
$50 L was, Mistress" answered the
fox, $50 long as l was chained"
There are many little foxes that need
claiming. There is the understanding
your-lessonstill-the minute fox that
runs off with your good marks at school.
Master Reynard "speak- without-think-
wing" hich is always getting its owner
into trouble; and Sly-boots "nobody
will-see- youdo-it." Chain them up,
Chain them up! That's the only way to
manage them.

Gems.

NJ ellison has recently concluded Il
Journey round the world which he made
for the purpose of ascertaining the con-
dition of the trade in gems. In an article
in the st. Petersburg Gazette he states the
results of his investigations. Diamonds
he found at a lower rate than they have
reached in ten years past. Pearls and
emeralds are, on the other hand, at
premium. An opal the size of an average
olive would bring in New York, at the
present time, about $3.50; Il sapphire of
the same size would bring $3.50; an
emerald, $500; IA diamond, $13,500;
and il ruby 1877, 500 In Europe these
gems would rank somewhat differently,
opals and sapphires rating higher and
emeralds lower. Pearls are now brought
from Central America, California and
the Persian Gulf, but none of them rival
those of the East Indies. About S5,250,-
600 worth of diamonds are annually I'M
portcd from South America into Europe,
and the same into America Many of
these are of good size, and most have Il
yellowish tinge. In consequence of this
heavy importation diamonds of the same
hue have fallen rs per cent. in the mar
kct But this effect upon the value of
the stones may be considered merely
temporary a similar depreciation in
their price occurred at the discovery of
the diamond-mines in Brazil-Golconda
having previously supplied the market
but they soon regained their value

POStponfng Pleasure.

| No one can settle down in a European
city or village, says DR.. Holland, and OBJ
serve the laboring classes without MOTTO
ing the difference between their aspira-
tons, ambitions and habits and those of
corresponding classes in this country
The European expects always to be a
| tenant, the American intends before he
dies to own the house he lives in If the
city forbids this he goes to the suburbs
for his home. The European knows that
| life and labor are cheap, and that he can
not hope to win by them the wealth
which will realize for him the dream of
future ease; the American finds his labor
dear and it's rewards comparatively boun-
| tiful, SO that his dream of wealth is
rational one. He, therefore, denies him
self, works early and late, and bends his
energies and directs those of his family
into profitable channels, all for the great
good that beckons him on from the far
off golden future.
The typical American never lives in
the present. If he INDUCES in a recrea-
ton it is purely for health's sake, and at
long intervals, or in great emergencies.
He does not taste money orpleasure, and
does not approve of those who do. He
lives in a constant fever of hope and ex-
pectation, or grows sour with hope de-
ferred or blank disappointment. Out of
it all grows the worship of wealth, and
that decentralization which results in I'M
scrupulousness concerning the methods
of its requirement. So America pre-
sents the anomaly of laboring class
with unprecedented prosperity and priv
ileges and unexampled discomfort and
discomfort.
There is surely something better than
this. There is something better than IA
lifelong sacrifice of content and enjoy
ment for a possible wealth. which, how
ever, may never be acquired, and which
has not the power when won to yield its
holder the boon which he expects to pur-
chase. To withhold from the frugal wife
the frugal gown which she desires, to
deny her the journey which would do so
much to break up the monotony of her
home-life, to rear children in mean ways,
to shut away from the family life a
thousand social pleasures, to relinquish
all amusements that have cost attached
to them, for wealth which may or may
not come when the family life is broken
up forever-surely this is neither sound
nor wise economy We would not have
the American laborer, farmer and me-
chanic become improvident, but we
would very much like to see them hap
pier than they are, by resort to the daily
social enjoyments which are always at
their hand Nature is strong in the
young, and they will have society and
play of some sort. 1t should remain
strong in the old, and does remain strong
in them until it is expelled by the alb
sOrbing and subordinating passion for
gain.-H0We Journal.

THE OLD FiRH HOUSE.

Ar the foot of the hill, near the old red mill
In "A quiet. shady spot
just peeping through half hid from view
Stands "A little moss-grown cot.
And straying through nj the open door,
The sunbeams play on the sanded floor.
The easy-char. all patched with care,
Is placed by the old hearIh-stone:
With witching grace. in the old fireplace
The evergrcens are strewn.
And pictures hang on the whitened wall
More lovely still. on the window sil1,
The dew-eyed flowers rest
While midst the leaves the mOss-grown caves
The martin builds her nest.
And all day long the summer breeze
Is whispering love TO the Bonded trees.
Over the door all covered DER
With a sack of dark green ba1ze.
Laws a mu-ket, whose worth il told
In the events of other DAYS:
And the powder flask. and the hunters horn.
Have hung beside ii for many morn
For wears have fed with noiseless tread,
Like fairy dreams away
And left in their fiji ght- all shorn of its might.
A fathcr-oid and gray;
And the sof wind plays with his snow-white
hair.
And the old man sleeps in his easy-chair.
Inside the door. on the sanded floor.
Light. airy footsteps glide,
And a maiden fair. with 1axen hair
kneels by the old mans side
An old oak wrecked by the angry storm.
While the ivy clin.s to its trembling form.

"Well," said the doctor, lit is best t.
tell you, in order that you may take pre-
cautions. 1t is very bad case of scarle
fever"
Potten groaned heavily, dropped dowI
by the bedside, and hid his face in thu
clothes.
Come, be a man." said the doctor
touching him on the shoulder; don
give way like that. I've known worse
| cases to recover"
Potter got up, and stared about hin
| like one distraught.
The doctor gave his directions to Mrs
Potten; and with kind good night
departed.
The eighth day was approaching, anG
| Dot was in a high state of delirium
There were no sweet flowers, no violets
no primroses, no daffodils for poor little
Dot, to catch her eye and soothe hel
senses; no grapes and no blood oranges
to moisten her poor parched lips. And
whenever her father drew near her pill
low, she, when the delirious fit was upon
her, would turn away her face and NUT
ter: Do away back man; do away
back man.
The eighth day came and passed; and
Dot passed away in the twilight.
Potten had scarcely spoken a word as
long as the fever lasted; but now, as he
dry, fierce eyes, at the tiny corpse be-
fore him, he said, in slow, distinct, DELHI
crate tones: Susan, I've killed my
childr'
Mrs. Potten, for moment, hushed her
sobs and stared at him in blank amaze
ment.
Look here" continued Potten, in low,
husky tones knOw'd there'd bin fever

but was afraid O. sp'ilin' it, and-and-
as they was always disinfectin' every
thing in that house, never sive it a sec
ond thought, and-and-I-give it
her," and, with sob that shook his
whole body, he threw down upon the
patchwork counterpart the black doll.
Mrs. Potten had listened to him with
face that grew paler and graver and
more horror stricken at every word he
uttered; but all she said was, in a voice
full of awe and agony: "Oh, John"
1t was the only reprOach she made
him; but it may be that there is more in
a tone than in words.
Potter walked slowly to the door and
left the room. He looked like a man in
a dream. He did not return that night;
and Mrs. POtten was alarmed. He did
not return the next day or night;
and the neighbors were alarmed. They
thought, too truly, that the poor man
had gone distracted, was mad with grief
and his sense of having been the cause
of the death of his child. In this belief
they naturally expected to find him on
the riverside. And there, on the third
day, they found him-at low-water-

Then over Il book he's a scholar. SO wise:
A spade and pillow he is wishing for next;
His wondering mother is sadly perpexcd.

Then brushes and paints draw his fancy awav:
But soon he's blacksmith. Il doctor, n clown
Likewise a policeman he strides up and down.
