Maggie Mitchell owns real estate ii
many parts OF the United States, but her
home is at Long Branch here she spends
the summer, and here she dispenses Law
ish and graceful hospitality to friends Of
her choice. Shy and pranksom as Fanchon
herself, Maggie is the reverse Of sociable,
in the sense of promiscuous visiting and
returning OF formal calls. or even the en-
tertaining of formal callers. She is re-
morselessly mot at home" to people who
come to gape at her. and being utterly
without vanity, is apt to consider any
prolonged staring at her in public places
as born OF. rudeness and mot admiration.
The cottage in which she now dweIls at
Long Branch is the one in which Edwin
Booth was married; and the large parlor
in which this ceremony took place is the
only one in the house which looks natur-
all to the tragedian, so he says, for many
and various have been the changes and
improvements which Maggie has put upon
the dwelling, and indeed upon the entire
estate. -s

years. and rejoice in her success as q sis
ter woman. Her artistic triumphs did NOT
seek her out; she fought for them and
won them bravely. Fanchon she created.
The medium through which she became

Station of the German play. She had not
read 'La Petite Fadette," George Sands
novel. The shadow dance-about whose
fairy grace so great poet as Ralph Wal
do Emerson has written beautiful verses,
not to mention host of smaller rhyns-
esters--was an atter-thought Of her own,
and so were other beautiful and pathetic
touches which brighten the charm Of this
delightful picture. Since 1862 Maggie
has been playing "The Cricket" andits
hold on the public has not waned even
now. Other performances of Maggie's
are variously admired. The most promi-
nent of these are ''Jane Eyre" and sThca
Pearl of Savoy" a dramatic version Of
"Linda di Chamounix !" but s'The Cricket"

Pay Your Small Biils.

A contemporary says the prompt pay
ment of small bills is something more
than convenience, considering its re-
suits, and the real distress which the
neglect Of it often occasions, raises to the
dignity of virtue. There are many
tradesmen, engaged in extensive busi-
ness, who have to meet large payments,
and who depend for them upon the
aggregate of small sums. 1t makes no
difference to the payer whether these
small sums are paid to-day, tomorrow,
or next week. 1t makes weighty diff
ference to the tradesman, who is obliged
to keep two or three clerks running at
ter little bills, and to pay one per cent.
a month for the money that is due to
him. in thousand little sums, that he
should have for the asking, and that he
is kept out of by the thoughtlessness of
customers whom he does not wish to Of
fend by importantly. The injustice Of
delaying the payment of small bills, is
not confined to the immediate sufferers,
in each case.
The Withholding of his just dues
drives him to the same injustice towards
his creditors, and then again to theirs
so that the wrong goes on repeating it
self, and spreading through whole
community. If A pays B, b can pay
G, and so on through the whole alpha
bet, till few hundred dollars, going
their benefcent round, have discharged
thousands Of indebtednesses. Hardly
anything that can be done SO easily, and
with so little inconvenience, results in
so much relief as the prompt payment
of small debts. In fact there is no in
convenience in it. tits more convenient
to settle the little bills at once, than to
have them hanging on for weeks and
months. We speak of course to those
who mean to pay their bills sometime.
To them, as well as to those who are
entitled to the money, the present is the
most convenient time. Nor does man
who means honestly to pay his debts
quite fulfill that intention, when, with
no advantage to himself, he keepsa man
waiting and perhaps suffering for what
honestly belongs to him. This is sea-
son when the principle which we have
endeavored to enforce is especially ap-
plicable. Tradesmen, mechanics and
others we need not remind our readers
are sending in their bills; and when
we can assure every one who has the
means to pay them, and who means to
pay them, that the sooner he gets rid of
them, the better it will be for his own
comfort. Next to not getting into debt.
next to the practice of that golden rule
of expenditure, "pay as you go" is the
| rule to pay when the creditors come.

Ringing for the Water Boy.

A good story is told of verdant one
who was passenger on railroad express
train, and became thirsty. Where's
that ere boy with the water can :" he
queried of his next neighbor. He has
gone forward to the baggage car, sup
pose,' was the reply. Well, dye
s'pose | kin git him back here agin ? "
/" Certainly" said the other, you have
only to ring for him." and he nodded
toward the bell line above their heads.
Before any one could prevent it, Rustic
had seized the line and given it tre-
mendous tug. Three shrill whistles
we're heard half dozen brakemen ran
to their posts, and the train came to q
standstill with suddenness that startled
half the passengers with astonishment,
and caused every man near a window to
raise it and look out to see what was the
matter. In few minutes the conduc-
tor, red and excited, came foaming into
the car to know who pulled the bell
rope "Here mister, this way I'm the
man." shouted the offender, drawing all
eyes upon him. You said the con-
ductor "what did you do it for 2"
" Cos / wanted some water" Wanted
some water?" " Sartin | wanted
the water boy, and my pardner here in
the seat said I'd better ring for him as
we do at the hotel, an SO j yanked the
rope. Will he be along soon? An by
the by, what in thunder be you stoppin'
for ? =" The shout of laughter that
greeted this honest confession was too
much for the conductor, and he had to
wait until he got his train under way
before he explained the mysteries of the
bell-rope to his verdant customer Bos-

The River Time.

BY BENJAMIN FRANKLIN TAYLOR.
o a wonderful stream is the River Time,
AS 1t runs through the realm of tears.
With a faultless rhythem and musical rhyme.
And broader sweep and a surge sublime,
As it blends with the ocean of years.
How the winters are drifting like flakes of snow,
And the summer-like buds between
And the year in the sheaf-so they come and they
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and its flow,
As it glides in the shadow and sheen.
There's magical isle up the River Time.
Where thesoftest of airs are playing;
There's acloudless sky and tropical cline,
And song as sweet as Vesper chime
And theJunes with the roses are staying.
And the name of the isle is the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty, and bosoms of snow
They are heaps Of dust but loved them so
There are trinkets, and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of song. that nobody sings.
And part of an infants prayer:
There's Lutte unswept, and harp without
There are broken VOWS, and pieces of rings
And the garments that She used to wear.
There are hands that are waved. when the fairy
shore
By the mirage is lifted in air.
And we sometimes hear, through the turbulent
roar,
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before.
When the wind down the river is fair.
OF remembered for aye be the blessed isle,
All the day of our life till night:
When the evening comes with its beautiful smile,
And our eyes are closing to slumber awhile
May that " Greenwood of soul be in sightl
