MS~"NOrvaP' writes to the Chicago Hotel Re
porter as follows: "Writing of servants reminds
me of conversation had with one, the other
day, on the subject of tips or fees. He is rep
resentative man of the large class of professional
hotel walters, and an officer in an organization
among them. He complained bitterly of the fall
ing off in fees, and insinuated that mean people
were multiplying continually. A few years ago,
his salary was S35 per month, and his fees fully as
much Now he works, quite as faithfully, hope,
for $25, and he assures me he does not make SO a
month in tips Gentlemen-the heads of fashion
able families-who used to pay him Sc per week
for waiting upon them, now reward him with 50,
and, more frequently, with 81, for the same atten-
tions. Again, gentlemen who invariably gave
him the change remaining from payment of break
fast or dinner bill at European plan hotels, now go
up to the cashiers desk themselves and SETTLE in
stead of allowing him to do it, as in times gone
by. My indignant informant further said that his
expenses were as great as ever, that his family
had increased, with bis rent, and he was now more
deserving Of respectable charity than ever before
Ia what this man said there is more truth than
poetry. 1 have noticed myself how rarely a hotel
servant is fed nowadays and while most Of Us
know the reason, walters are slow to assign q
proper one for the degeneracy of what they call q
good old custom. At the most prominent and fash
ionable hotels is this falling of in generosity most
to be noted, and this would seem to demonstrate
that prominent and fashionable people have-likt
the rest of us-to practice economy. / do no
want to be understood as advocating feeling, OF
taking sides with the grumbling servants. Imers
ly state facts, and reserve my comments until tn,
rheumatism gets out of my arm.

A DISAPPOINTED GRANGER.-Jac0b Gleason, OF
Herkimer county, N. Y, might have arrived In
New York City dozen times, and departed as
laany more, with Out aayone beyond hotel clerk
knowing his name, if he hadn't mission. That
mission was to trade his farm for a slice of Gen.
trail Park, and raise early vegetables for the mar
ket. He went up to the Park, and took look
around before saying anything to anybody, as he
wanted to make sure that none of it was swamp
land. He had made up his mind to trade his l4O
acres of farm for 100 acres of the Park when he
encountered one Of the Park police, and remark
cd
HThis seems to be purity good land, but it's aw-
fully neglected. Why don't they cut the under
brush of, and Fall-plough it
'sWe'd rather keep it as it is, replied the officer
''WelI, that's a mighty poor way to farm it. |
was looking around, and thought perhaps I'D
trade my farm for part Of this What dye spose
they'd ask an acre for the lower part y
ooh, thirty or forty thousand dollars"
GWhat :"
aAm l a born fooll" exclaimed Jacohof Hcrki-
mer. give got as nice farm as crows ever flew
over, and all 1 ask an acre is $55. I'd see you
I'd see you in the red sea, sir, before I'd give 500
an acre."
0yery weIl; you can't have it." said the officer
6I don't want it. knOwed I'd be imposed on
and told 'em all before left home, but theil
eternal ding-dong drove me to come! don
want your land, sir-no, sir I! It's all hills anC
hollers and rocks, and I've met more'n hundred
people walking round as cool as if they had hun
dred year lease of the whole farm"

Many years ago gentleman from the town Of
Methuen, Mass, while on visit to prominent
merchant in Boston, was asked by the man if he
knew a boy in Methuen whom he could recon-
mend to work in his store At first the gentleman
could think of none, for he knew mono but faith
full honest boy would suit the thrifty merchant.
At length, however, he called to mind boy of
excellent character in his neighborhood but fear
ed he would hardly do, as his parents were very
poor, and he had no education or other advanta-
ges to fit him for such a position.
But the description of the boys habits pleased
the merchant so much that he handed the gentle
man 81 with which to pay the boys fare to Bos-
ton by the stage, and requested him to send the
lad to the city, and if on personal interview all
should not prove satisfactory, he would pay his
fare back home again. The man as requested,
visited the boys parents, and, stating the mer-
chants proposal advised them to send the boy for
trial. lie then gave him the 81 with which to pay
his fare to Boston and departed.
Under similar cases ninety-nine out of every
hundred boys would have said: "Now for good
time l never city and never rode in stage.
Oh, there will be such long ride, and here is
money sent to pay my fare.' Not so with this
boy Putting the money carefully in his pocket,
he said to himself "This is the first dollar 1
ever had; how wish could save it. 1t is only
twenty five miles to Boston. l can walk there in
day I'll do it and save my dollar"
His mother patched up his clothes well as she
could, and early next morning the little fellow
parted with his parents at the door of the humble
home and set out on his long tramp to the great
city, which he reached, tired and dusty, a little
before sunset He soon found the merchant, who
sternly asked: "Where have you been all day
The stage came in hours ago." The boy thought
he had displeased the merchant at the outset, and
with downcast head and tremulous voice he an
swered: 81 did not come on the stage, SIR" "Did
not come on the stage! What do you mean ?
Didn't send the money to pay your fare?"
The boy thought it was all up with him sure,
and, amid gathering tears, he managed to reply
"I am very sorry, sir; did not mean to offend
you. 1 thought would walk and save the dol
lar never had one BEFORE"
Placing his hand gently on the boys head, the
merchant replied: "My little man did exactly
right" Then turning to by-stander he remark
ed: "I wouldn't take 1000 for this boy to-
night"
That boy has grown to manhood, and has since
become widely known in business circles. He is
now owner of the extensive mill at Mcthuen, the
Pemberton mills at Lawrence, banking house in
Boston, and one of the finest farms in Massachu-
setts.-The Golden Rule.

RB-Some old oystermen were lOunging one
day in store in Fair Haven, and they began to
talk about the Centennial. Said one, in nasal
twang: 'T say, Sam, did you go to the centen-

IsS-An Irish girl was ordered to hang the wash
clothes on the horse in the kitchen to dry. Her
mistress shortly after, found very gentle family
horse standing in the kitchen, completely covered
with the articles that had been washed that day.
Upon interrogating the girl the reply was =
"0ch, to be sure, ye towld me to hang the clothes
upon the horse in the kitchen, and the haste Is
the kindest ever saw, shpra."

POETRY.
DRIED APPLE PIES.

1 loathe, abhor, detest, despise,
Abominate dried-apple pies
like good bread, like good meat,
Or any thing that's fit to eat;
But of all poor grub beneath the skies
The poorest is dried-apple pies.
Give me tOothache or sore eyes,
In preference to such kind of pies.
The farmer takes his gnarliest fruit;
'Tis worIny, bitter, and hard to boot;
They leave the hulls to make us cough,
And don't take half the peeling off
Then on a dirty cord they're strung,
And from some chamber window hung;
And there they serve as roost for flies
Until they're ready to make pies
Tread on my corns, or tell me lies,
But don't pass me dried-apple pies.
