Revealed.

SAMANTHA, o., Nov. 20 1877.
| MR.. EDITOR Being Agent for the Beatty Or
gan, and having sold your correspondent, Mr. Bal
ley, the one which he so highly compliments rs be-
ing superior to others which he has used and as he
requests that more light should be revealed, in be-
half Of the manufacturer, D. F. Beatty, we viii
give the following, which we have lately received
from the cashier Of First National Bank at Wash
ington, n. J.
WASHINGTON, n. j., Nov. IS, 1877.
DEAR SIR I'm reply to yours of Sth inst, would
say, d. f. Beatty does not own an Organ or Piano
Factory in this place. Part of his Organs have
been manufactured here under contract with
manufacturing firm Of this place, and larger Dor
fiOn by an Eastern establishment Recently 1 un-
derstand that he has leased the Eastern firm, but
do not know the particulars. His headquarters are
here, where he has several rooms occupied as Of
fees, and where he employs a number of book
keepers and clerks. l cannot say much in regard
to his instruments, as I am not Judge Of them,
and have had no occasion to examine into the mat
ter. But iudgiug from the number he sells, aud
from the universal satisfaction they seem TO give
and the length Of time be has been in the business
I think his Instruments must be as good, if not
better, than other manufacturers. l bought piano
from him some time ago, and I am well pleased
with it, and WO1ld not like TO change it for many
other pianos of other makes that / have seen,
which cost much more. I consider him TesDyn-
sibR man, and an honorable dealer, and ready TO
~ P.HHANN.
Also a few words from the Postmaster:
Mr. Beatty is ell right, and is Just what he is rep
resented to be in his circulars. Any story 10 the
contrary Is caused by competition m his trade. |
His organs and pianos are Gs good, IL not little
BETTER than the most of the same in the market. .
will guarantee Mr.. Bestty's instruments 10 satis
fy the most fasjdOus.

Let the people understand that the instruments |
which Mr.. Beatty adyertises so cheap are second
hand instruments. Yours &C.

or what it il worth. He would be as
likely to give q dollar or dime for q
top or any other toy. But II the boy
has learned to earn the dimes and
dollars by the sweat Of his face he
knows the difference. Hard work to
him Is q me ASSURE OF values that can
never be rubbed out Of his mind. Let
him learn by experience that a hun
dred dollars represents q hundred
weary days labor and it seems a great
sum Of money. a thousand dollars is
almost inconceivable, for 1t Is far
more than he ever expects to possess.
When he has earned q dollar, he
thinks twice before he spends 1t. He
wants to invest 1t so as to g,t the full
value Of days work for IL. 1t is a
great wrong to society and to a boy
to bring him up to mans estate with
out this knowledge. A fortune at
twenty-one without IL IL almost Inc
vitality thrown away. With 1t and a
little capital to start on, he will make
his own fortune better than any one
can make 1t for him.

The good old times" when q wife

peat her husbands latest opinions,
have gone. If that is your notion Of
a wife. you ought to have lived 10
Corinth in the first century: or you
ought to live In India now. And even
in India you would have to keep out
of the way Of troublesome Miss Bril-
tain. Your wife Is entitled to her
own individuality, to her own opin-
ions. They ought to clash sometimes
with yours; and you both ought to
know how to strike fire In converse
ton and have no explosion. Because
you are Democrat Is no reason why
she should not be . Republican; be-
cause you age . Congregstionslist IL
no reason why she should be IN Epis-
copalian. Shame on the notion that
. wife Is only the cipher to stand on
the right side Of her husband so as %

Is Disgrace to her husband. An in
dependent wife Is his glory. II she
never differs from you 1t Is because
she Is q serf and you are Q despot.
She ought to be your best adviser.
She ought to be your most confiden-
tiai counselor. The self-conceit of

The New York Herald declares that
a couple of gentlemen belonging to a
club In that city made heavy bet q
few weeks ago on the relative beauty
OF the fashionable bellies of the city
and the shop and hotel girls, A COM
mittee was appointed that gave a
week to visiting the various beauties
In high and low life, and finally re-
ported in favor OF the shop girls.
They were sitting together, and he
was arduously thinking what to say.
When finally he grew confident in
his manner, and broke out thus: In
this land OF noble achievement and
undying glory. why is 1t that
woman do not come more to the
front, and climb the ladder Of famef"
suppose" said she, tying knots in
her handkerchief. Its on the &C.

A new beauty has appeared upon
the horizon OF London. She is from
the Channel Islands, and is the
daughter of the Dean OF st. Hellers.
Mr.. Millais was the troubador who
first told nations that she was beauti-
full by the Offering to paint her por-
trait. Society has gone mad over
her. The other day at party she
was positively mobbed, and more
than one duchess climbed upon a
chair to gaze upon her.

Boys ten or twelve, seen on the
streets, appear heartless and without
sympathy. and yet you wrong them.
Among the houses on Clinton street
Is one which has missed many pares
of glass In its windows. Rags and
papers are used to keep the cold air
out, or it may blow In and whistle
through the desolate rooms without
let or hinderance. A girl OF ten,
whose life had been one long period
Of hunger. pain, and misery, was ia
ken sick one day In March, and peo-
pie passing by could see her lying on
a miserable bed near one Of the
windows. 1t was curious that any Of
the boys coming or going should
have stopped to think or care about
1t. but they did. One Of them. feel
ing sad at sight Of the sufferers pale
face, handed an orange through q
broken pane, saw 1t clasped by slen-
der white fingers, and then ran away.
He told other boys. and by and by
there wasn't q day that some lad
didn't halt at the window to pass In
fruit or flowers. None Of them knew
the family or ever spoke to the girl,
and so they gave her the name Of
Gertie and called her their orphan.
The boys went without marbles and
the other things which belong to
boyhood sports that their pennies
might buy ar orange, lemon, or
some simple COVER for Gertie. and
their anxiety foT her to get well was
fully as great as the doctors or the
mothers. Whatever presents they
had they handed through the broken
pane. waited for her to reach up. and
never fingered longer than to hear .
soft thank you from her lips.
Days went by, but the boys did not
grow tired nor did they miss day. 1t
was romance and charity 80 well
combined that 1t gladdened their
hearts and made them fond Of each
other. Yesterday morning a lads
hand, holding sweet flower and a
big orange, went to ne window.
No white fingers touched him as
they grasped the Offering. He wait
cd moment, and then with q beat
ing heart looked through into the
room. The bed had been taken
away. On a table rested q plain
coffin. and on tbs CONN was bunch
OF faded flowers which had been
handed through the window the day
before. Death had been there, and
the boys no longer had u mi ssion.
You might not have seen the boy
hiding in q doorway and wiping
tears from his eyes. He was seen
however. and when asked the cause
Of his sorrow, he sobbed out the
whole sad romance In four words,

terrible in its workings Of passion,
and his fingers were clutched till
the nails almost buried themselves
in the palms Of his hands. He looked
In vain for the footprints further;
but he knew that the mother and

him.
In the majors retinue there was an
Old forester named Klamith, who
had once been q brigand, but who,
for money, had sought another mode
of life. Him Kraunich sent for at
once, and when he came the major
explained to him the mystery Of the
footprints they had found.

forest and mountains hero about?"
asked Kreunich, after he had tod
about the disappearance Of the NO.
men.
If there are any which / do not
know, think I could find them,' re-
turned Klamith.
Then you must take men and
scour the country round. The wo-
men must be found. and IL you viii
bring them to me two hundred
ducats shall be yours"
Would it not be better to follow
their tracks as far as We can first,
end then, when we loose them, be-
gin to scour around?'
Yes, but the tracks are lost here,
said Kraunich.
~Oh, no" returned Klamith. Just
see where those long blades OF grass
are turned towarde the forest. The
rcind would have blown them this
way, / think / can follow their trail.
Look this way, see the drops OF rain
that still lay upon these leaves. Now

The face Of the major frightened
up as he spoke, and the forester
promised to make the trial.
And so the parties went. one to
consummate the plan OF discovery.
and the other to gloat over the an
ticipsted recovery Of the coveted

and that In order to possess them /

Ispoke Of my arrangement with Mr..
Fletcher. who was largely a lawyer.
He acquired his extensive business
in promptly collecting and paying
over moneys belonging to others.
That was the secret Of his success in
that line. The old State Bank was
chartered in 1884. and until its ar
engagements for RENTING money
had been completed Mr.. Fletcher's
practice was to send his collections
by private hand as opportunity
offered. It was late In the fall of 1895
that. having collected for different
mercantile firms In Cincinnati about
$1,000, he sent me on horseback by
the Lawrenceburg road to deliver to
the several parties interested the
money so collected. As was passing
the branch bank. then recently es-
tablished. on the morning OF my de-
parture. the cashier hailed me and
brought out some bundles of bank
bills folded up and slowed them
away In my saddle bags. and handed
me letters to the banks to whom the
packages were to be delivered. He
stunned me by saying they amounted
to $4,000. I suppose my friend
Thomas b. Sharp has forgotten the
circumstance. but he was the officer
OF the bank who delivered the treas
ure. The matter had probably been
arranged between him and Mr..
Fletcher. but 1t was . great surprise
to me to be intrusted with the charge
OF so much money.
Surprise soon yielded to q differ
emit sentiment when came to think
of the responsibility had incurred.
The staple products Of the State, In
those primitive days. were corn and
hogs. Corn not bearing Transports
ton. was usually commuted into hogs
and whiskey. There was no mode Of
getting the hogs to market when
fattened except by driving them.
Cincinnati was then, as now, the
principle market In the West, to
which they were driven for sale and
