sales Of great Importance have boon made since
Saturday. Real estate is activo in the neigh
borhool Of Milwaukee, avenue and Humboldt

quite seriously and pleasantly:
Little boy, how's your ma ?"
John was surprised and puzzled for a
moment. He had never seen the young
lady, but he thought that she perhaps
knew his mother at any rate, his in
stinct of politeness made him say:
"She's pretty well, I thank you.
"Does she know you are out ?"
And thereupon all three in the wagon
burst into a roar of laughter and
dashed n 1t flashed upon john in a
moment that he hal been imposed on,
and it hurt him dreadfully. His self
respect was injured somehow, and he
felt as if his lovely, gentle mother had
been insulted. He would have liked to
have thrown stone at the wagon, and
in a rage he cried:
you're a nice"-but he could moi
think of any hard, bitter words quick
enough.
Probably the young lady, who might
have been almost any young lady, never

INSWER TO THE "MoNEYLEss MAN.

BY MRS FLORENCE ANDERSON CLARK.
There are places, not secret, where virtue has irh,
Where charity dwells on this beautiful earth;
Where mercy and kindness Joined hand in
hand,
And PHYS tear fails at the warm heats command.
There are doors that the least gentle knock VIII
And others that swing on their hinges sjar
Giving egress to angels who lovingly scan
The woes and the wants of the MOneyless Man.
Does he work? Does he strive? Is he faithful and
true?
Does he know what man has done, aud what he may
do?
Or does he creep on with the sluggard's slow pace
And refuse to take part in ambit on's proud race?
Does he drink, while his neghbor with whole heart
and soul,
Is giving his strength to be first at the goal?
If such be his crimes, pity him if you can
Content to be scorned as a Moneyless Man.
Labor taught by the brain, with its strong, skful
Has reared princely palace over the land,
And the man who will work, will, sooner or late,
Cease to sigh like vagrant at some rich mans
With purple and crimson his walls may be hung,
While the chandeliers light DER the table is flung
With heart brave and free, ere he measures lfe's
He'll forget that be e'er was Moneyless Man.
There churches whose loftiest turret and spire
Have sprung from the depths of some poor boys
desire;
There are colleges, hospitals, founded by those
VINO knew at the outset stern poverty's woes.
But they labOred undaunted, with hand, heart and
brain,
And we know that such labor is never in vain.
That man with his millions when first he began
Was known upon "'thange" as a Moneyless Man.
Did he call on the ravens for meat and for bread?
Or expect that his wife was by miracle fed,
While he spent his leisure in looking for banks,
That would lend out their gold for poor DEVILS
thanks?
Or court where the law was so cheap end SO free,
That a client was welcome with never fee?
No-if he had been of this base thriftless clan,
He too would have died a Moneyless Man.
Nor do portals of paradise open for one
Who has left any work that he could do undone!
It's honors, its bisses await the true men,
Who with ten talents trusted, have made other ten
" He is worse than the heathen who does not pro-
vide
For his own;" and the judge of all lives may de-
eide,
That brave, earnest labor being part of lfes plan
Heaven has no rewards for this Moneyess Man.
The herald and mail. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 1873-188?, 1874-01-23
The Rest Bank.

We have been repeatedly assured that
farming don't pay, and the boys have
believed the assertion and gone to clerk
ing, or teaching, or trading" bust
ness" they call it. But recently the
books have been opened-the books in
which the accounts of all the occupa-
tions are kept, and, being footed, we see
what really pays aud what is unprofita-
BILE. Bankers, supposed to be a sort of
nobility. have smashed many of their
clerks have proved to be great Iascals !;
railroad obligations have gone to pro
test; factories have stopped to liqui-
diate. and crowds of the richest and
grandest of mortals, shufiing millions
CT dollars, often in day, have shrunk
down to be quite common. How is it
with the farmer? Has the panic touch
ed him? Does he lie awake thinking
of the hard times Not much. 1t is
true that if he owes more than he is
able to pay, or if he has bought more
land than he can work, he is in trouble,
and now something must be sacrificed !;
but this dilemma was bound to appear,
panic or no panic. Most farmers are
out of debt, or they I'VE so little they
can see their way clear, and the sun
