An Aneedofe OF RaIsfon.


The San Francisco correspondent
Of the New York Times gives the
following anecdote relating to Mr..
Ralston:
When the question of locks for the
Palace Hotel was under discussion,
one day a plain, common looking man
presented himself and asked if he
was addressing Mr. RalstoD, and be-
ing answered in the Affirmative, said:
IL hear you want locks for the ho-
tel. | am 'ocksmith and can make
them for you
Mr.. Ralston, looking up, said in bis
quick, sharp way:
I'll want 1000 locks, no two alike,
no one key to open another lock, and
three extra keys for each loek-16,-
600 in all; and / want then in three
months"
"All right can do the job
Have you any means to carry out
the contract?p
Not q cent"
Then how do you expect to be
able to take itl"
81 expect you 20 lend me the
money"
Mr.. Ralston looked at the man,
gave him one searching glance, and
seeing in him the right stuff, replied:
All right. LII do it. Come here
tomorrow morning, sign the contract
aud get the money
The man carried out the contract
to the letter.

and instead of your fne and orns.
mented cooking stove, with which al
most every family is supplied, (mos,
undoubtedly useful article.) you
found large chimney with hearth
arranged to build log fire and at
which all the cooking was done, with
kettles, pots and pans, now in great
measure out of use. Honesty, fru-
gality and plainness of dress were
the distinctive characteristics of the
people 90 years ago.
And now, my dear grand children
who still require the protection and
care of your beloved parents, let me
call your special attention to the fifth
commandment: Honor thy father
and mother, that thy days may be
long upon the land which the Lord
thy God giveth thee. This COM
mandment has special reference to
the duties you, dear children, owe
your parents. Bear it always in
mind and fulfill the Injunction by
treating parents with flial af-
lection, true love, pLre kindness and
prompt obedience-aid and assist
them in all the various duties apper-
tanning to the family and you will
thus smooth down their pathway to
the grave. De this and you will have
done your whole duty the command
ment requires and thus secure not
only the reward God has promised,
but the dying blessing Of your be-
loved parents. With these remarks
| wish you all happy CHRISTMAS.

The Faith of the Shakers.

Mainly, their faith is their life; a
life of charity, of labor, of celibaey
which they call the angelic life.
TheologicalIy, it can be most sue
cinctly presented in their formula,
Christ Jesus and Christ Ann, their
belief being that the order Of special
prophecy was completed by the in
spiration Of mother Ann Lee, the wife
of the English blacksmith, Stanley.
She is their second Christ; their di-
vine mother, whom some of their
hymns invoke; and for whom they
cherish filial love. The families Of
Shirley and Harvard, Massachusetts,
were formed in her time, near the
close Of the last century; at the latter
place they show the room in which
she lived, and where she was once
dragged by the foolish mob which
helps to found every new religion.
In regard to other points their
minds vary. Generally they do not
believe in the miraculous birth or
divinity Of Christ: He was divineiy
good and perfect man, and any Of US
may become divine by being godlike.
Generally, also, / should say that
they reject the Puritanic ideas of fu-
ture rewards and punishment, and
accept something like the Swedenbor.
gian notion of the life hereafter.
They are all spiritualists, recogniz-
ing succession of Inspirations from
the earliest times down to our own,
when they claim to have been the
first spiritual mediums. Five or six
years before the spirits who have
since animated so many table legs,
planchettes, phantom shapes, and
what not began to knock at Roches-
ter, the Shaker families in New York,
Ohio, and elsewhere
were in full communion with the 9TH
er world, and they were warned OF
the impending invasion OF the worlds
parlor and dining room sets They
feel by no means honored, however,
BY all the results. But they believe
hat the intercourse between the
worlds can be rescued from the evil
Influences which have perverted 1t,
Ind they have sigrs of an early re-
lewal Of the manifestations among
themselves. In some ways these |
lave in fact never ceased, Many !
If the Shaker hymns, words and mu-
'ic, are directly inspirational, coming
o this brother or that sister without
egard to his or ber special genius;
hey are sung and written down, and |
ire then brought into general use.
The poetry is like that which the 9th
r world usually furnished through
ts agents 10 this,-hsrdly up to our
iterarv standard; but the music has
lways something strangely wild,

Had Been Around.

At the City Hall market yester-
day, while lady was purchasing
whitelish, man about fifty years old,
and a stranger to her, approached ber
and remarked:
"Missus, | have travelled over Eu-

advise you not to eat the bones of
that fish. Some folks eat bones and
all but they sooner or later come to
some disreputable end"
"l'll thank you to mind your own

the fish.

A Cleveland drummer was in
Elyris. few Sundays ago, aud
while seated ia bis ro. m heard from
the Rexi rooni. the mysterious ques-
ton and answer.
Whose duckey are youg"
Use your duckeylr
A few moments passed, during
which the drummer sat in open-
mouthed wonder, and the silence was
again broken.
Whose duekey are your"
Use your duckeyl'
Unable to stand it much longer
alone, the Clevelander hurried down
to the Office, learned that newly
married couple were in the house, in
vited three other drummers to hear
the fun. and tip-toed back to his
room. The wicked quartette cram
med their hsndkcrchiefs in their
mouths. and during the next quarter
of an hour heard the fond conundrum
put and answered four times by the
unconscious groom and his blushing
bride.
AT dinner, as luck would have it,
the bride and groom were seated be-
tween two OF the drummers, while
the original discovery Of the bonan-
"a sat opposite. The table bad been
cleared of the substantials, and or
ders for desert had been given. At
that moment spirit of mischief took
entire possession Of the Clev eland-
er. Leaning across the table, be
looked arcbly at the nearest friend,
and in dulcet tones propounded the
conundrum:

The other chap was quite equal to
the emergency, and in tones of affec-
ted sweetness got in his answer:

Is there no place ON earth where knock

Will bring kind angel TO open the door i?
All? search the wild world wherever you

There is an open door for the moneyless
Go look in the hall where chandelier light
Drives off in ats splendors the darkness of
night;
Where the rich. hanging velvet. in shad-
owy fold,
Sweeps gracefully down, with its trim
mings OF gold,
And mirrors Of silver take up and renew
In long gilded vistas the 'wildering view !;
Go there in your patches, and find if you
A welcoming smile for the money.ess man.
Go look in your church OF the cloud-reach-
ing spire,
Which gives back the sun his same look OF
fire,
Where the arches and columns are gor-
geous within,
And the walls seem as pure as soul with
out sin;
Go down TO the aisle-sec the rich and the
great,
In the pomp and the pride OF their world
ly estate,
Walk down in your patches, and find if
you can,
Who opens pew for the moneyless man.
Go look to your judges, in dark flowing
gown,
With the scales wherein law weigheth
quietly down;
Where he frowns on the weak and smiles
on the strong,
And Furnishes right while he justifies
wrong,
Where jurors their lips on the Bible have
laid,
To render verdict they We already made;
Go there III the courtroom and find il you
can,
Any law for the case OF the moneyless
Go look in the banks, where mammon has
told
His hundreds and thousands of silver and
gold
Where, safe from the hands OF the starv
ing and poor,
Lies pile upon pile OF the glittering orc
Walk up to the counter-ah, there you
may stay,
Till your limbs have grown old and your
hair turns gray.
And you find at the bank not one OF the
elan
With money to lend To moneyless man.
Then go 10 your hovel-no raven has led
the wiic who has suffered SO long for her
bread
kneel down by her pallet and kiss the
death frost
From the lips of the angel your poverty
lost
Then turn in your agony upward TO God,
And bless while nc smites you his chasten-
ing rod;
And you'll find at the end of your life's
little span.
There's welcome above Tor the money

French woman of the present time.

changes of fashion in molding human
