THE HONEST MAN WHO PAYS,

Mr.. Oscar 81. Harpel, the WE'LL
known Cincinnati printer and author
of the Typograph, is author of the
following bright little star in the
galaxy of true poetry:
There is one among the many,
Can you tell me where he stayss
He's an odd. oid-fsshioned party,
Called the honest man, who pays:
Yss-the honest who pays
Every dollar he may owe,
Keeping up the good old ways
That 10 many scarcely know.
II he gives his word OF promise
IT'S a bond as good gold;
II he hold post of honor,
Not q trust 10 ever sold
BY the honest man who pays
Every debt he may incur,
Yielding each just award,
And no grudging or demur.
And I'm told this rare old party
Lives-within his income, won
By the fairest, squarsst dealing
We see beneath this sun.
And the honest man who pays
Always holds il good and right
For the rich to help the needy
When the times are tough and tight.

Christmas morning, and the snow
was falling and the wind was whirl-
ing it around like mad. A thousand
COLLINS seemed laughing, and turning
somersets, and hailing each other as
they sported around the gables and
whistled and rumbled in key holes
and chimneys, wild with the mirth
at the coming of Christmas and old
Joe Darling's small house, in re
mote street of the great city, seemed
especially honored by the hobgoblins
who shook the windows till they rat
tied again.
A great fire was burning, and the
break, fast table was set, and old Joe
rubbed his hands in front of the blaze
and looked out of the window, when
a voice behind him with rush of
laughter in it, and sounding like sill
yer bells, exclaimed:
Christmas gift, father! I've
caught your
Old Joe turned round. As he did
so a pair of rosy lips pressed his
cheek, and two arms chung round his
neck, belonging to little fairy of
seventeen.
'Wby, you look like a sunbeam.
Daisy he said.
And indeed the face resembled one
so brilliant was the light of the eyes.
Daisy was small with a neat cosy
figure, in plain but pretty dress !;
and you saw at glance that this was
one of those nimble.fngered fairies
who are the blessings of the house in
which they rule.
Her Hatcher smiled and fondly pass
ed his hand over her hair. As he
gazed at her, he thought of his well
nigh penniless condition, and heaved
a sigh.
Poor little lady bird! l have
nothing for your he said, signing
again.
But Daisy did not seem to regard
the circumstances at all depressing.
On the contrary her face glowed, and
turning her bright head toward one
side, she whispered
I've got a Christmas gift for you,
father, dear.
Have you? Now, you've gone
and worked your little figures to the
bone. It's craval, or
NO, indeed, I've done nothing of
the sort-that is not your present.
The rush of joyous laughter in the
girls voice nearly drowned her words.
She seemed bursting TO reveal some
secret. Their talk was interrupted
however, by the appearance of Moth
er Darling and her flock, with old
Uncle John, looking wise and secre-
tive.
Daisy had procured, somewhere,
the handsomest Christmas tree i'm
aginable-a bushy cedar, full of light
blue berries; and having returned
from church, whittier she went duti.

Uncle John, her prime friend and
favorite, to deck the wondrous tree
with its brilliant ornaments. As even.

erected on the side board-its paper
baskets, and presents, and tapers
making it magical spectacle to the
young Darlings, who gazed at it with
open-eyed wonder.

Tho Enterprise Is not quite full size
this morning. Only by the courtesy OF
some kind friends arc we permitted to
put in any appearance at all to-day.
There was q convulsion In Virginia City
yesterday. A breath OF hell melted
tho main portion Of the town to ruins.
Our eyes are still daxed by the lurid
glare: our ears arc still ringing with the
chaos Of sounds Of a great city passing
away ON tho whirlwind Of q storm Of
ire. As the sun arose yesterday MORN
ing u turned to purplo and gold tho
smiling features af the most prosperous
city on earth. Before the sun set, last
night. the greater portion Of that city
had disappeared; and men and women
and little children, by hundreds and
thousands. know not where TO get n
morsel Of food, or where TO lay their
heads. The catastrophe IL appalling.
Men give and receive cheerful saluta-
tons as they meet, and bravo women
smile out OF c%ountenanco tho hard fate
that has overtaken them; but the heart
aches are sore. nevertheless. We know
our people will rally from tho blow; that,
though houses have disappeared and
vaults have bstn rent open by the fire,

fore. But that promise OF the future
does not make lighter the sufferings OF

The blessing Of Emancipation.

-
There are probably few men In the
South to-day who are not convinced
that the abolition Of slavery was a bless
ing to tho Shareholders. Mr.. George
W. Adair Of Atlanta puts the whole ques-
ton In y nutshell in this statement:
"Before tho war ! kept four negroes on
my lot-'Wash..' o man-of.all.work,
valued at 81, 600; Sarah. o No. I cook.
sl.400; Harriet. o house girl. $1,000.
and Nancy, q nurse. 5000. The legal
interest a per csnt.) on the value Of
these slaves was $3.50 per annum, and
I had TO feed. clothe. pay doctors bills.
etc. Now I have the same service per.
formed at $500 per num I feed
these hired servants, but furnish no
clothing. nor pay doctors bills. and get
the Same service performed for less
money than when I owned the slaves,
and II they die I lose nothing. Now,
when ! acquire my capital. I can put II
In other property instead OF locking u
up In slaves. This, I think. illustrates
the whole question. Tho land owner

for the slave and take care OF him
This labor cannot DO controlled 10 alb

sonnl attention to tho crops, can make

to do so at the present prices OF passage.

The New Eplzoollc.

Il appears that o new cpizooty, mild
or In form than the u VI experienced
in the Fall and Winter Of 1872, and less
serious in its consequences, 10 upon us,
II appeared FIRST about three weeks ago,
and many Of Of tho horses ut the time
affected are now over II. Still IL up
pears to DO spreading. and the number
Of its victims Is daily becoming larger.
II Is not confined to this region alone.
A large number Of the horses at the
DAYTON Fair last week, which came
from all parts OF the country, east,
south and west, had the same CON-
plaint, and had contracted II before ar-
irving at Dayton; but II did not appear
TO interfere seriously with their speed.
or detract much from their appearance.
Il Is mainly confined to the lungs and
bronchial tubes. There is none OF
the disgusting running from tho nose
that made the disease Of 1872 30 dis
agreeable to handle. The present dis.
ease Is about the equivalent Of bron-
chitis In the human subject. They aro
attacked with n cough. tho pulse is
quickened. some fever supervenes. and
the disease gradually dies away. without
dropsy or other unpleasant ssquolp.
Nearly all Of the horses ct present stu.
blsd at Chester Park arc moro or less
affected by 1t. "Cadiz." one Of the win
ming horses yesterday. won q q at

an attack from which he had not re-
covered yesterday. Ho went on the
course yesterday coughing. and eoughed
throughout the ivo heats before he was
declared the winner. Many Of the
horses belonging to the street.car COM
psnies are affected. The omnibus
horses OF tho Geological Garden line
are sick. The disease has invaded the
stables Of the express companies. the
livery stables, and many private stables;
but rs yet business has not been seri-
ously interiersi with. II is hoped that
the visitation will pass away without
