A Story. With q Moral.

A gentleman of middle age, who had
always been a farmer, had cleared up
and improved one of the best farms in
Maine, erected near and convenient
buildings, reared a family, and was en-
ioying the blessings with which he. was
surrounded, became possessed with the
idea of selling his farm.
Friends told him he could live so much
easier to 60 into the village. where he
could have nice house, garden, keep
a cow, and, if he chose, a horse, and live
like a gentleman on the interest OF his
money, that he advertised his farm for
sale. He found no want of purchasers,
and the farm was soon disposed of for a
handsome sum. Then the stock, farm
ing tools, etc., were sold, and the place
that he wrought with his own hands, the
buildings he had built for his own con-
venience, and, according to his own no
tions, the spot where he had raised his
family, and around which clustered so
many associations, passed into the hands
of strangers. For time the gentleman
did not locate, as he desired to look
around, find place to suit him, and see
where he could be happy for the re-
mainder of his days. At last he found q
place that suited him, purchased it, and
settled down to life again. But things
did not go right. He missed his old
farm and house, the silent but delighted
company of cattle, sheep, and other do,
mestic animals, the scenes where he had
passed so many happy years, and the
society of his old neighbors, tried and
true. He grew discontentcd, and was
we'll nigh sick. His wife and daughters,
also, were not pleased with their new
home; it was half a mile from town,
with a little land, and was what many
would have called a desirable place.
Having remained long enough in his new
place-he could not be said to have
lived at ALTO become satisfied he should
never be contented, he resolved to have
the old farm back again. He went to
the old man who owned it, paid him five
hundred dollars more than what he got,
took possession again of his familiar
fields and groves, and, having learned q
wholesome lesson from his transaction, is
now at work again upon his old farm, a
happier, wiser and better contented, II
not richer man.
Its smoral to farmers and others is, thai
when they get discontented and sell out
they should be sure they are able to buy
back their old homes and business, wheI
they find they have not bettered them
selves by the change.

MYSTERY OF DREAMs.-lt is re'ated
that man fell asleep as the clock tolled
the first stroke Of twelve. He awakened
ere the echo of the twelfth stroke had
died away, having in the interval dreamed
that chad committed the crime, was de-
tected after five years, tried and con-
demned; the choke of finding the halter
about his neck aroused him to his con-
sciousness, when he discovered that all
these events had happened in an infin-
itesimal fragment of time. Mohammed,
wishing to illustrate the wonders of sleep,
told how certain man, being sheik,
found himself, for his pride, made poor
fisherman; that he lived as one for fifty
years, bringing up family and working
hard; and how, upon waking up from
his long dream, SO short time had ne
been asleep that the narrow necked gourd
bottle filled with water, which he knew
he overturned as he fell asleep, had not
time in which to empty itself. How fast
the soul travels when the body is asleep!
Often when we awake we shrink from
going back into the dull routine of a
sordid existence, regretting the pleasanter
life of dreamland. How is it that some
times, when we go into place, we have
seen it before? Is it possible that when
one has been asleep the soul has floated
away, seen the place, and has that NOM
ory of it which so surprises us? In a
word, how far dual is the life of man
how far not?

GIVE Your CHILD a PAPER:-A
child beginning to read is delighted with
newspaper, because he reads of. names
and things which are familiar, and ne
will progress accordingly. A newspaper
in one year is worth quarters schooling
to child. Every father must consider
that information is connected with ad-.
vancement. The mother of family,
being one of its heads and having more
Immediate charge Of children, should
herself be instructed. A mind occupied
becomes fortified against the ills of life,
and is braced for emergency. Children
amused by reading or9 study, are, OF
course, more considerate and easily gov
erned., How many thoughtless young
men have spent their earnings in a tavern =
or grog:shop, who ought to have beeh
reading! How many parents who have
not spent twenty dollars for booksfor
papers for their families. would have
given thousands to reclaim a son or
daughter who had ignotantly, thought
lessly, fallen into temptation from want
of wise counsel, or from lack ofsone-
thing to occupy the mind !--SAseted..

Difficult Love. Making.

The boy who sells fruit and confection-
cry off the train is usually very vigo-
rous sort of a boy, with an eye strictly to
business, and with no romantic thoughts
running through his brain. One of them
came near running the happiness of two
young souls for life, the other day.
A young man sat on the seat with a
pretty girl, and thought the passengers
couldn't distinguish their conversation
from the noise made by the cars, it was
pretty evident that what was being said
was of great interest to the young couple.
He was saying: "Katic, darling, 1
have long been wishing for an opportu-
nifty to tell you of my great love for"
dPeanuts? ?" inquired the fruit and con-
fectionery boy, thrusting his basket in
front of the pair.
"Now exclaimed the young man in an
annoyed tone, and waving his hand to
one side.
GAS was saying, Katie," he contins
ued after the boy had passed on, 81 have
long wanted to tell you of my regard for
you. You are everything to me, and
always in my absence my thoughts are
constantly dwelling upon"
"Nice candy-prize in every box" in-
terrupted the boy, totally ignorant of the
interesting conversation he was injurlng.
The young man shook his head, while
the girl looked mad enough to bite a
hair-pin in two. When the boy had left,
the young man resumed.
"i do not think you are entirely insen-
sible to my regard, and feel certain that
you in some degree reciprocate. Tell
me, darling, if l have right to think
that you are fond Of"
"Nice fresh fgs-ten cents a"-the boy
saw by the countenance of thepair that ne
could make no sale; and moved ahead
with the basket. The young man finish
ed with his eyes the sentence he had
commenced, and waited for an answer.
It came, murmured in his ear that no
other person might learn its import:
ooh, Charlie, you've no idea how
happy you make me by your avowal:
You know that I care for you only, and
that my regard for you is as lasting as"
"Maple candy-very nice" said the
boy, displaying a tempting array of the
delicacy.
"Clear out!" calculated the young man,
between his teeth, in savage tone, and
as the boy cleared out, he turned to his
sweet heart for the continuation of her
answer.
GAS lasting as eternity. I have always
cared more for you than any body else.
All our folks think you are just splendid,
and mother says you are as good as"
"Pop- ccrn-fresh this morning."
The young man rose hastily and lifted
the boy several feet down the aisle, and
the girl fell to crying in her handler
chief. The young man resumed his seat,
and sat in moody silence until the train
stopped at his station, when, in company
with the young lady, lie alighted, while
the boy, after nursing the place where he
was kicked for few minutes, went on
| with his business in utter ignorance of
the fact that he had perhaps broken up a
most interesting and happy courtship.7

The Hampton Family Of South Carolina.

To the Editor Of the New York Sun:
SIR: The old General, grandfather of
the present Gen. Wade Hampton-a
General in the Revolutionary War, as in
the War of 1S12-was one of the wealth.
est planters in all the South, having
sugar plantations in South Carolina.
But he was also man of strong passions
and prejudices. His only surviving son
by first marriage was Col. Wade Hamp-
ton, who had married wealthy lady,
and was the father of large family, of
which the present Gen. Wade Hampton
was one. A disagreement occurred be.
tween old Gen. Hampton and his second
wife, the mother of three daughters, and
in his anger he left them homeless and
unprovided for, and went to Louisiana.
Col. Wade Hampton, not having the fear
of his fathers wrath before him--as most
sons might have had-at once resolved
upon the course to which his instincts
pointed. He purchased for his step
mother and half-sisters the finest dwell
ing in Columbia, furnished the establish
ment with servants, equipages, and every
luxury, and through twelve years main
tanned them in every comfort to which
they had been accustomed. Atthe death
of the old General it was discovered that
he had devised his whole estate, amount
ing to more than 81 100000, to his son
alone, but, with the unbounded generosi-
ty Of that sons nature, he divided his
inheritance, share and share alike. equal,
ly with his step-mother and sisters, and
would consent to reserve for himself only
such a portion us the others received.
Nor was Mrs. Hampton undeserving or
unmindlul of the step-son's devoted sacri-
fees. On an occasion, in 1888, while Col.
Hampton was absent in Louisiana, the
notes of friend for whom he was en-
dorser at the bank, were protested for
$4,000.
So soon as word of this event reached
her she promptly sent check to the
bank for the full amount, accompanied
by only the simple directions that Col.
Hampton should be spared all knowledge
of the annoying circumstance. l..

UNITED STATES MARSHAL R. NJ.
WALLACE, AND THE ENFORCEMENT
ACT.-The Enforcement Acts are at
worst two edged weapons; they are as
easily turned against those who take them
up, as against those whom they are en-
ployed. 1t should therefore be the duty
of every citizen at this time, to take
special notice of all the acts performed
by United States Marshal r. NJ. Wallace
and his employees of every kind. Has
he all the powers which he proposes to
exercise? If he exercises powers which
he has not, or exercises powers which he
has, but not in the statutory way, he be-
comes liable to the penalties of the laws,
and every citizen aggrieved, is entitled to
the remedies given. Let every citizen,
therefore, carefully watch all of his acts
and those of his employees, and be pre-
pared with witnesses as to such acts as
may be doubtful. The engineer may be
hoisted with his own petaru.
| 1t is time for the citizens to resort tc
those weapons which hitherto have been
used against them. The Constitutional
ty of the Enforcement Acts themselves
| have been pronounced against by the
Supreme Court Of the United States
ANY act by Marshal Wallace under then
is unlawful, and, therefore, acting with
out any law, he lays himself open tt
serious results. Watch all his acts

Been to the Races.

Friday night, about half an hour be-
fore midnight, a very respectable De-
ttoiter, living on Dufield street, was
heard feeling all over the front door to
find the knob. His wife suddenly pulled
the door open and confronted him, and
in fife-like voice inquired:
"Isn't this nice state of affairs-you
not home since this morning.
"Softly, darling, softly" he replied,
trying to take her hand. GIVE zhust got
back from the races"
"What races?" she demanded.
"H-o-r-s-e races" he slowly replied.
"Had big time and made five hundred
dollars. Coin to get you fourteen silk
dresses" ;" ;.
"Well, you should have sent me word, "
she replied, as she hung up his hat. The
promise of the dresses acted like magic
on her Imagination.
"Yes, but didn't have time," he re-
piled. "Fellar come long in buggy, 'nott
I went. Ju ever see horse race, Nary
"No, I never did"
"Well, she's big thing, tell you. Never
seen such magniferous sight in my life:
Now jus'r imagine, am horse, and
you are the string"
"I won't do it-I'm no string," she ex-
claimed.
"Well, all right. sposen both of us
are horses, them -s,
"I WON'T do that either. never saw

"Sah's so, Mary, drank sixty-foui
glasses lemonade. Well, all the horsee
got away in fine style. Noble sight,
tell you. I bet five hundred dollars on
the head horse"
"That was sharp in you," she replied
mentally planning to have four blue, live
brown, and five green silks. .
"You bet it was," he went on. Well
the head horse kept ahead, an won five
hundred dollars.
"Half of which, my ducky, dear, yor

she howled and the policeman across tn
way says that the hat rack went over, tn
door was kicked shut, and, amid tn
growls and howls, he could hear a voice

The Cost Of Making a President.

"The American people," said an Eng
lish writer on our politics, "is perpetual.
ly voting for some election or other"
Somebody, it might be added, has to bear
the expense of these perpetual elections.
Just what the expense is, in general
canvass like that which is now drawing
to a close, it is difficult to estimate with
any approach to accuracy; for there are
no statistics extant upon the subject, and
the politicians who plan and conduct
campaigns are naturally reticent upon
such matters. 1t is plain, however, that
there must be heavy outlay of money.
The printing and distribution of cam
paign documents, the rental of public
halls, the pay of stump speakers, the
purchase of banners, torches, uniforms
and other paraphernalia; the expense of
postage and telegraphing-all these are
necessary outlays, and when the extent
to which they are carried throughout the
country is borne in mind it becomes very
apparent that the aggregate must be
enormous. A paragraph has lately been
going the rounds of the press, to the ef-
feet that the strenuous campaign in In
diana preparatory to the recent State
election consumed S1O,OO0,OO0. This is,
of course, wild exaggeration, based upon
a mere random guess. An estimate that
seems to US not far from the truth places
the average cost of a Presidential election
at about 81 100000 for each of the great
opposing parties, or total of So, 600, 900.
Accepting this as within the bounds Of
probability it would seem that the ex-
pense Of putting Mr.. Tilden or Mr.. Hayes
into the White House is fifteen times
greater than the whole amount of salary
paid to the incumbent during his term of
four years. Calling the population ofthe
country about 100000, this would be
equivalent to tax of seven and one-half
cents head for every man, woman and
child in the United States. The mainten-
ance of the court of France for the first
year of the second empire was less than
two cents per head of the population. 1t
dent may be greater than that Of keeping
u prince.
The expenses of our elections, however,
are borne mainly by voluntary contribu-
ton. The burden falls chiefly on
wealthy partisans who expect to share in
some way the benefits ensuing from the
election of their candidate. 1t takes the
form of tax only in the case Of Office
holders who are assessed for election ex-
penses by the party in power, a custom
that often falls heavily upon department
clerks and minor officials. The burden
touches the people remotely, and indi.
rectly, if at all, while in reality they de-
rive an actual and immediate benefit.
The various devices by which their SYM
pathy and support are solicited serve to
awaken more active interest in public
affairs, and the masses thereby acquire
the rudiments of political education, in-
stead of remaining in apathy and ignor.
ance Of the condition of the country and
the administration of the government.
Great as the costs of our elections may
be, they cannot be lamented as an un-
mitigated burden upon the people.-New

GETTING R1cH.-Nothing is easier
than to grow rich. 1t is only to trust
nobody, to befriend none, to get every
thing and save all you can get, to stint
ourselves and everybody belonging to us,
to be the friend of no man and have no
man for your friend, to heap interest
upon interest, cent upon cent; to be
mean, miserable and .despised, for some
twenty or thirty years, and riches will
come as sure as disease and disappoint-
ment. And when pretty nearly enough
wealth is collected by disregard of all
the charities of the human heart and at
the expense of every enjoyment save that
of wallowing in filthy meanncss, death
comes to finish the work; the body is
buried in a hole, the heirs dance over il
and the spirit goes-where?

Mr.. ScoTr's FLYING MACH1NE.-The
inventor of the flying machine, MIR.
Ralph Scott, who didn't fly from Dover
to Calais, as he said he would, is in Ber-
lin showing his invention to Bismarck
and Won Moltke. The whole arrange
ment consists of a small, rather deep
wooden gondola, in the middle of which
the machinery is fixed, which is to be
put in motion by means of q wheel, SINH
lar to ships steering wheel. The pres
sure of the spring, when the wheel is in
motion, is to be like 5000 pounds in an
upward, and equal to 1900 pounds in a
downward direction. At each end of the
gondola is seat fofa passenger, and al
one end a second wheel for steering the
apparatus, which altogether weighs 3OC
pounds. Mr.. Scott asserts that with this
machine he will travel through the air al
the rate of seventy miles an hour in cleal
weather, and in a storm and against s
head wind forty miles. He says that he
has himself already made trial trips on q
small scale with it, and that for upward
downward and forward motion, as wei
as standing still in .mid-air, and in al
weathers, he has found the machine {
thorough success. The principle may bt
applied, he says, with the same effect tt
machines of any size or strength. i!
