ALAS! POOR YoRiCK.

Last Wednesday morning, a man
was found dead in a cheap hotel iii
New York, kneeling at his bedside,
with his face buried in his hands. He
had passed his last sickness alone in
the lonesome chamber of public
house, and when he took his departure
from life there was no one by to give
a word of comfort or receive his last
message. The man was not only
alone, but i'll utter poverty, having no
money with which to pay even for the
laying out of his poor remains. 1t was
William w. Newcomb, q well-kHoWn
negro minstrel, one of the pioneers III
the burnt-cork business, eontempo-
rary of Christy, Campbell and Eph
Horn. His life was full of the vieissi-
tudes common IN his profession
Beginning as a circus boy, many years
ago, he became distinguished as a Jlg-
dancer. and afterwards, in partner
ship with Biiah Thayer formed min
strel company in Boston. He travel
led with this and other companies with
varying success. He was d member
of Bryant's and of CampbelPs troupes,
and one Of the proprietors Of Rumsey
& Newcombs, e Longs Warblers,"
and latterly of Arlington & New
combs MINISTRIES. At one time he
was worth 100000 or more, and
made and lost several moderate for
tunes. Last fall, he went penniless
to New York hotel he had often pat
ronized, and the kind-hearted landlord
told him to stay until times got better.
Toward the end of the winter he
succeeded in getting an engagement,
but within three weeks he broke his
leg on the stage, and had to take to
his bed. There, in solitude and 81
lence he met his end, with enough Of
premonition perhaps to enable him to
kneel at his bedside and show before
the Auful Will " in a prayer for for
giveness and mercy; but without
human friend OF helper to give him aid
for soul or body. And he was buried
by charity. The old lights of negro
minstrelsy are now nearly all extin-
guished-Newcomb, Horn, Bryant,
Buckley, Christie, and rare one in its
sad ending.

doing. He never accomplished All
inch of his elevation by standing at
the foot of the stairway with bis mouth
open, and longing. There is no
"royal road" to anything good-not
even to wealth. Money that has not
been paid for in life is not wealth. 1t
goes as it comes. There is no element
of permanence in it. The man who
reaches his money in an elevator does
not know how to enjoy it; so it is not
wealth to him. To get a high posi-
ton without climbing to it to win
wealth without earning it to do fine
work without the discipline necessary
to its performance to be famous, or
useful, or ornamental, without prelim-
mary cost, seems to be the universal
desire of the young. The children
would begin where their fathers leave
off.
What exactly is the secret of true
success in life? 1t is to do without
fiinching, and with utter faithfulness,
the duty that stands next to one.
When a man has mastered the duties
around him, he takes naturally one
step upward. When he has mastered
the duties of the new grade, he goes on
climbing. There are no surprises to
the man who arrives at emineIce legit-
imately. 1t is entirely natural that
he should be there, and he is as much
at home there, and as little elated,
as when he was working patiently at
the foot of the stairs. There are
nights above him, and he remains hum
BILE and simple.
Preachments are Of little avail,
perhaps but when one comes into con-
tact with so many men and women
who put aspiration instead ofperspira-
ton, and yearning for earning, and
longing for labor, he is tempted to say
to them: " Stop looking up, and look
around you! Do the work that first
comes to your hands and do it well.
Take no upward step until you come
to it naturally, and have won the
power to hold it. The top in this little
world is not so very high, and patient
climbing will bring you to it ere you
are aware. '-Scribncr'S Monthly.

POETRY.
THE CHIMES OF THE BLUE BELL.

Little Blue Bell
In a dark wood half asleep
Heard a woodpecker drumming,
And brown bee humming;
Heard the pine tree signing,
And the wild birds flying,
As she woke for a single peep.
Little Blue Bell
Sprang up from her bed of rest;
Oh! no! no! said she,
They're calling for me,
The blue birds and bees
And the sad old trees,
And must be up and dressed.
Little Blue Bell
Heard the wild geese clang overhead,
So she washed her eyes,
With the blue of the skies
And shook from her bells
The fragrance that dwells
Where sunshine sleeps the MOSES bed.
l-iJllC duo Dell
Stood blushing and half afraid;
Felt the soft winds playing,
And so gently swaying
All her sweet adjoining
On that gay spring morning,
While the brooks their tinkling music
made.
Little Blue Bell,
In tremor of sweet delight,
Caught sunbeam bright,
And shut it up tight
In the heart of each bell
Where the fairies dwell
And dance to its music at night.
Said Little Blue Bell,
Down deep in the heart of each blue
There's always a singing
And musical ringing,
I'm sure you can hear it,
Whenever you come near it:
Now, listen. Oh! | know that you do.

TO MAKE A HAPPY HOME AND
VIRTuOuS FAMILY.

1. Learn to govern yourselves, and
to be gentle and patient.
2. Guard your tempers, especially
in seasons of ill-health, irritation, and
trouble, and often then by prayer, pen
itence, and a sense Of your own short
comings and errors.
3. Never speak or act in anger,
until you have prayed over your wprds
or acts. and concluded that Christ
would have done so, in your place.
4. Remember that valuable as is
the gift Of speech, the gift Of silence is
often much more so.
3. Do not expect too much from
others, but remember that all have an
evil nature, whose development we
must expect, and we should forbear and
forgive, as we often desire forbearance
and'forgiveness ourselves.
6. Never retort a sharp or angry
word. 1t is the second word that
makes the quarrel.
Z. Beware of the first disagreement.
s. Lean to speak in a gentle tone
of voice.
8. Learn to say kind and pleasant
things whenever an opportunity offers.
10. Study the character Of each one,
and sympathize with all in their trou-
bles, however small.
II. Do not neglect little things, if
they can affect the comfort Of others
in the smallest degree.
y. Learn to deny yourself, and to
prefer others.
10. Beware Of meddlers and tale
bearers.
IA. Never charge a bad motive, if
a good one is conceivable.
10. Be gentle but firm with chill
dren.
16. Do not allow your children to
be away from home at night, without
knowing where they are.
II. Do not allow them to 90 where
they please on the Sabbath.
19. Do not furnish them with much
spending-money.
10. Remember the grave, the judg-
ment-seat, and the scenes Of eternity
and so order your home on earth, and
you shall have home in Heaven.

OUR STORY.
BILL WHITE.
(CORCIu

\CO'tcbutIN'J
''The colonel had been getting over
the worst effects Of his wounds when
he received letter from friend in
England, informing him that his bro
ther-in-law, the father of Captain
Turpic, had died suddenly, and that his
sister, who to all appearances was fast
following, had been making strange
discoveries regarding an only son of
the colOnePs who was supposed to
have been drowned about seventeen
years before. The colonel had lost
both his lady and child by a frightful
accident. His estate lay near Ohey,
on the banks Of the Ouse; and the
lady one day, during the absence of
the colonel, who was in London, was
taking an airing in the carriage with
her son, boy of three years or so,
when the horses took fright, and,
throwing the coachman, who was kill
ed on the spot, rushed into the river.
The Ouse is deep sluggish stream,
dark and muddy in some of the more
dangerous pools, and mantled over
with weeds. 1t was into one of these
the carriage was overturned; assis-
lance came too late, and the unfor-
tunate lady was nowhere to be found.
1t now came out, however, from the
letter, that the child had been picked
up unhurt by the coloners brother-in-
law, who, after concealing it for near
ly week during the very frenzy of
the colonePs distress, had then given
it to gypsy. The rascaps only mo-
tive-he is a lawyer, master-was
that his own son, the captain, who was
then a boy of twelve years or so, and
not whollyignorant ofthe circumstance,
might succeed to the colonePs estate.
The writer of the letter added that,
on coming to the knowledge Of this
singular confession, he had made in
slant search after the gypsy to whom
the child had been given and had been
fortunate enough to find her, after
tracing her over half the kingdom, in
a cave near Fortrose, in the north of
Scotland. She had confessed all stat
ing, however, that the lad, who had
borne among the tribe the name of
Bill Whyte, and had turned out fine
fellow, had been outlawed for some
smuggling feat about eighteen months
before, and had enlisted with young
man, her son, into regiment bound
for Egypt. You see, master, there
couldn't be shadow of doubt that
my comrade, Bill Whyte, was just
Henry Westhope, the colonePs son
and heir. But the grand matter was
where to find him. Search as we
might, all search was in vain: we
could trace him no further than out
side the camp to where he had met
with Captain Turpic.

THE NEXT DUTY.

This is an epoch Of elevators. We
do not climb to our rooms in the hotel ;
we ride. We do not reach the upper
stories fStewart's by slow and patient
steps we are lifted there. The Sim
plon is crossed by a railroad, and
steam has usurped the place Of the
alpenstock on the Rhlgi. The climb
which used to give us health on Mount
Holyoke, and a beautiful prospect,
with the reward of rest, is now pur-
chased for twenty-five cents of sta
tionery engine.
If our efforts to get our bodies into
the sky by machinery were not COM
plemented by our efforts to get our
lives up in the same way, we might
not find much fault with them but, in
truth, the tendency everywhere is to
get up in the world without climbing.
Warnings after the infinite are in fash
ion. Aspirations for eminence-even
ambitions for usefulness-are altogeth-
er in advance of the willingness for
the necessary preliminary discipline
and work. The great amount of vap-
oring among young men and young
women who desire to do something
which somebody else is doing-some-
thing, far in advance of their present
powers--is fearful and most lamen-
table. They are not willing to climb
the stairway; they must go up in the
elevator. They are not willing to
scale the rocks many weary hours
under a broiling sun; they would GO
up in a car with an umbrella over
their heads. They are unable or I'M
willing to recognize the fact that, in
order to do that very beautiful thing
which some other man is doing, they
must go slowly through the dis
cipline, though the maturing process Of
time, through the patient work, which
has made him what he is, and fitted
him for his sphere Of life and labor
In short, they are not willing to dc
their next duty and take what comes
of it.
No man now standing on an emf
hence of influence and power, and do
ing great work, has arrived at his posi-
ton by going up in an elevator. HI
took the stairway, step by step. HI
climbed the rocks, often with bleeding
hands. He prepared himself by thu
work of climbing for the work he il

YOUNG MAN.

Young man 90 to work. Don't try
to persuade yourself into the belief
that you are smart enough to get an
honest, honorable living without labor.
BY manly, persevering effort come the
sweets of life. By fixed habits of in
dustry and integrity only, will you be
able to win that self-conscious dignity,
and moral worth Of character, that
will elevate you to opposition among the
noble and gifted, and prepare you to
fill the places of trust and emolument,
to discharge with fidelity and credit
the grave cares and responsibilities
that come to every generation Of men.
Let me counsel you by every cherished
hope Of future happiness you enter
tain-take little time for selt-examin-
alton and consider well the path you
choose. Look about you and bring
up in review the history of men whose
lives have been an aimless failure, and
you will find in most cases that they
were young men who would not work,
who early formed habits of dissipation
and in whose indolent, shiftless youth
were sown the prolific seeds Of a Bit
ter, fearful harvest, habits that have
probed their overthrow and ruin. Go
to work ! 1t is not fact that there
is nothing to do. No matter if the
wages are small it is the discipline of
steady, healthy employment that you
need to make yourself necessity to
whoever employs you. Cultivate hab-
its of faithfulness, economy and thrift.
Time is money; have no spare time !;
read, get wisdom, get understanding :
give not one golden moment Of your
fresh manhood to frivolous idoling.
Hurry when those call after you who
have nothing to do. keep good
hours. Shun the darkness as you
would pest-house or a prison. Dis
grace and relentless ruin, turks in the
treacherous companionship of mid
night" Incidence robs you. 1t steals
both your character and your money.
Now in the morning of life, before the
evil days come, by industry develop
true manhood. c..

The rascals, he said, Twill be

"And so it was, master. just as
the carriage was entering the stream,
the coachman was pulled down by
Tom Curlit; at the same instant,
three bullets went whizzing through
the glasses, and two fellows came
leaping out from behind some furze to
the carriage-door. A third, whom 1
knew to be the captain, Jagged behind.

them down and binding them,-I was
lucky enough to send piece of lead
through the captain. lie ran about
twenty yards, and then dropped down,

cut throat some months after, and
suffered for it at Carlisle.
Il have not a great deal more to
tell you, master. The colonel has
been dead for the last twelve years,
and his son has succeeded him in his
estate. There is not a completer gen.
tleman in England than Henry West
hope, master, nor a finer fellow. |

by the by, l am quite as sure of a
hearty scold. He still keeps a snug
little house empty for me, and offers
to settle on me fifty pounds year,
whenever | choose to give up my
wandering life, and go and live with
him. But what's bred in the bone

| don't think it quite respectable.
Here | am at present, Il free, indepen-

ty. Mr.. S. for instance isrepresented
as peculiarly eloquent occasionally
during the induced condition, but
then, what is commonly called elo-
quenee of expression is frequently
dueas much to suspension of the
reason and higher logical faculties
as to the enhancement of some
special faculties of the imagination.
We esteem itunfortunate that this
book was written by a clergyman
and not by an intelligent physician,
as the points which are really of in
terest to study are those which are
associated with the pathology of the
brain, while our clerical author is
evidently on the Qd rice throughout
for preternaturaI spiritual develop
nents. 1t Is impossible for us to
enter into a scrutiny of the ex-
amples of preternatural powers at
tributed to the patient, for it would
require a space as extensive as that
of the book itself; we must be con-
tent with the statement of our own
belief that we have here simply a
case of physical injury acting upon
those intellectual processes of which
the brain is the organ.
