Romantic Story of Two Orphans.

The New York correspondent of the Baltimore American writes: A little bit of story of two orphans came to my knowledge the other day, which is almost equal in pathos to the story as told in the memorable play of that namc. Some years ago boy left his home in Bavaria and came to this country, where his sus-, cess induced him after time to send for his younger brother. This left to the sole care and protection of their parents two still younger girls, one possessed of re- markable beauty. The parents died; the girls were left alone with very small resources with which to depend for SUD- port. Of their brothers they had heard nothing for several years, but with natural instinct and longing they turned to the thought of them as their only comfort in their distress and loneliness. Against the advice of their pastor, they turned their effects into money and set out for the new world, quite sure that in it they would have no difficulty in fnd- ing their truant brothers. But it was not so easy as they anticipated. On landing in New York they were appalled, by the magnitude of the great city. They did not know where to go. Their inquiries were met by laughter and rude repulse. Sickness overlook one of them, and the other, almost at the end of her small stock of money, frightened at the prospect of being left penniless, and ig- norant of the character of the persons who professed an interest in her, accept ed an invitation to sing in concert saloon. On the very first night she was shocked by the scenes which transpired around her and the bold admiration her beauty excited. The extreme plainness and modesty of her dress and demeanor, however, attracted the attention of two gentlemen, one of whom was engaged in showing a friend from the country the "lions," and when an insolent fellow attempted familiarity which she resent el, he stepped to the rescue and obtain cd from her, amid her rt-breaking sobs, the story of herself and sister and the failure of their hopes. The truth of
 
 what she said was self evident, and the young man, who was really honorable and kind-hearted, promptly took Ter away from the place in which she was, found her and her sister another respect able lodging, and interested himself to procure them employment. Shortly afterward, in company with 3 party of young men, he told his adventure, and was considerably surprised by the in. terest of one of them. who proved to be one of the long lost brothers. Of course their troubles were now all oyer, for this brother occupies high position in 8 large mercantile firm, and can well afford tof Ke care of his sisters. Whether 3 roman ( will grow out of it remains to be seen But there are four extremely happy eople in New York, and young man wno feels that he has acted the part of knight-erraIG in manner quite worthy of tb middle-ages, and who will doubtless e better man all his life for having allowed the best part of his nature to assert itself on that single oc- casion.

A Song Writer.

met Henry O. Work the other day. What, reader you don't know this cele- brated Work9 Well you know his latest work, at least" My Grand fathers Clock" Does that tune make your homes vocal and your streets pro- fane, and does it trickle down the back stairs and sigh through all the narrow lanes? Does everybody play it. or sing it, or hum it, or whistle it? You will be filled with grief, know, when tell you that Mir. Work is now in receipt of $1OO week from his publisher, 0. M. Cady, for the copyright on that song. Work is an ideal author-an ideal poet, too-poor in purse, ftful and capricious in his moods, handsome, and ranging from the depth of despair to the frenzy ofsstrong enthusiasm. He is handsome, has black hair and beard, flashing eyes, and he writes all day, and always writes songs. He is a man of forty, and has a beautiful and brilliant daughter whom he adores; and he would sell his songs to the old rag-man to buy her new bonnet any time.
 How many songs have you written ?" said to him, as I found him toiling at his song-strewn table.
 "Oh, thousand or more," answered he; "and one of the worst of them all has made me famous-in small way. " And he flung a cynical smile over his shoulder, as if he shared Carlyle's con- tempt for [" for the voice of the Uog; popuh.
 "Some of the best things I have ever written," said he in the same mood, "have had very limited sale, and a few songs on which I have spent the most time have never sold at all"
 "What are your most widely-circulat- ed songs?" I inquired.
 "Well," said he, "let's see; there Kingdom Coming and the Year of Jubi- lee, Father, Dear Father, Come Home, Marching Through Georgia Wake Nicodemus,' and now Grandfather s Clock"
 "How do you like song-writing as a profession ?" I ventured to ask him.
 CT wouldn't recommend it to anybody alive," said he sadly; !" the writer of songs doesn't generally feel much like singing Indianapolis Journal.

The State of Ohio has a commissioner of labor statistics, who has submitted report of the condition of wage-laborers throughout the State. The figures pre- sented are not of particular import, but the recommendations of the commis- sioner are of interest. He advises more stringent enforcement of the laws againstthe use of store orders in pay ment of wages; that a law be passed pro- viding for the creation of co operative associations for manufacturing and mining purposes; that law be passed providing for the creation of boards of putes; that pending bill to prevent railroad employees being compelled to wait months for their wages be made a law.
 The ups and downs of city life are we'll illustrated in the case of Robert M. Martin, broken down old man, who was recently arrested in New York for stealing some worthless old clothes from his boarding house. MT. Lawrence Jerome, Jr., pleaded for the prisoner, saying that he had known him for twenty years; that formerly he had been a prominent member of the board of brokers, and worth several hundred thousand dollars; that he had at divers times made gifts of thousands of dol lars to different churches; that he had been widely known and respected, and that his mind had become affected by adversities, or he never would have committed the trifiing larceny of which he was accused. The justice passed 8 light sentence upon the prisoner, send ing him to the city prison for five days.
 It seems the adulteration of coffee is not confined to this country, for we read of an ingenious attempt made In England to manufacture com pound comprised of coffee, chiccory and date-stonesl The date-stones, after be- ing roasted and ground, form such an imitation of coffee as would, when mixed with the genuine article, readily deceive the consumer. The early detection and suppression of this mode of adulteration were effected by the English revenue authorities, in consequence of informa- tion sent by supervisor at Liverpool that many tons of date-stones, refuse from the manufacture of spirits at one of the distilIeries there. and which had up to that time been considered useless, were being bought by foreign gentle man to be sent to Manchester, and be- lieved to be intended as an adulteration of coffee. The inquiry made led to the discovery that manufactory had been started in Manchester for the prepare tion of Melilotine coffee, D a mixture of the ingredients mentioned above. A seizure was made at Manchester of about seven tons of !" Melilotine coffee" and of the prepared date-stones.

The honest workingmen of the country,
many Of whom have large and increasing fam
ilies 70 support, have been the chief sufferers
from the great financial pressure under which
we have labored for the last few years. Di-
mlnlshed wages have not been attended by
corresponding dlminution In price OF every
thing which the worklngman needs. Rents,
fuel, food and clothing are cheaper, but these
do not constitute all his necessities. IL is
sometimes necessary for him to employ law
yer or aphyeician, yet the fee rates OF phys
slclans and lawyers are as high as they were
In "flush" times. Yet cheap medicines are
as necessary as cheap rents or fuel. Cheap
medicines are not necessarily poor medicines.
II must be obvious TO every Intelligent person
that medicines, compounded and put up at
wholesale, can be sold at much lower rates
than when retailed from the DOCTORS pill bags.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Purgative Pellets have completely

dollars In vainly seeking relief from private
practitioners, aud all at a very slight eIpendi-
ture.

" Mushery" From the Burlington Hawk
Eve,

Ellen McArOon: " How do you clean
tin wareP" writes that young lady.
What on earth are you giving usP We
don't clean tin ware at all. We don't
do anything but write pretty things.
MOLLte Mcclure wants to know "what
is the prevailing color in boys stock
ings" Well, gray slate shade of a
heavy drab color, with deeper tints of
old brown and leather shades at the
heel and toe.
Z. Phelps All is forgotten and there
is nothing to forgive. You can come
down in the morning without tremor.
We would send you token of recon-
ciliation, but somebody got at it last
night and this morning there isn't a
solitary drop in it,
Jennie McGilUeTy says she "cuts her
tomatoes in two, and fries them slowly
on both sides in butter and lard. !"
Well now, Jennie, who under the sun
cares if you doP They're your own to-
matoes, aren't theyP You have a right
to slice them in two and fry them in lard,
or you can sit down on them, or you
can fire them against the end of your
neighbours barn to see them "bust."
We set ours out on the cistern box for
about five minutes the other day, and a
hungry tramp came along and ate them
all up. This is household department,
but if it is to be filed up with accounts
of what people do with their tomatoes
it might as well be shut up, for it has
outlived its usefulness.
JG6ez ThiStLepod wants to know if we
can tell him chow to preserve apples
from the wormsP" We can. Let
ten-years-old boy from town have the
run of the orchard three days of the
week. The worms will starve to death
the second day of the first week.
Mrs. JGnnake1 wants to know "what
she shall do with her boys?' It de-
pends great deal on the number of
them and ON their ages. But we think
you might roast the eldest, if there isn't
too much of him, and the others you
can make into pummican and keep for
the winter.
John Betlamy has a horse, he writes,
that is going blind, and wants to know
what he shall do with himP Well,
sell him to your pastor; he is probably
good trustful man, and you can
swindle him more easily than you could
a regularly ordained horse jockey.

SEPTEMBER.

The polden-rod is yellow,
The corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
The Rentian's bluost frinpcs
Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun.
The sedges fiauut their harvest,
In every meadow nook;
AND asters by the brOOk-sido
shske asters in the brook.
From dowy lanes at morning
The grapes sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies.
BY all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summers best of weather,
And autumn's best of cheer.
But none of all this beauty
Which floods the earth and air,
is unto me the secret
Which makes September fair.
'Tis thing which / remember;
To name it thrills me yet;
One day of one September
never can forget.
II. H., IN Scrlbner for September.

New York Tenement Houses.

The examination of the twenty-five
thousand tenement houses in this CITY
is going slowly on. 1t will occupy,
probably, at least three months. The
inspectors who are about equally di-
vlded between the two professions of
medicine and civil engineering, are do
ing the work with, perhaps, not abso-
Lutte, but certainly hopeful thorough
ness. There are very few tenement
houses, apparently, which have fully
complied with the reasonable pro-
visions Of the law-lack of light and
ventilation, and of adequate escape of
sewer-gas, being the most notable
omissions. 1t would be impossible to
condense into one paragraph the
monotonous account of cellars filed
with garbage in one instance even
with liquid manure from an adjoining
stable; of cess-pools unemptied; of
broken waste and drain pipes, filling
the yard or under basement, and suf-
fusing the house with noisome odors;
of central rooms without light or possi-
bility of ventilation; of bedrooms so
foul OF air that, in more than one in
stance, the wretched inhabitants take
refuge on the pavement of the yard.
What the remedy is to be is not so clear.
London radically attempted to cure the
evil by pulling down the old rookeries
to make room for model tenement
houses, and the Metropolitan Board of
Works OF that city is consequently in
volyed in little debt of thirty millions
of dollars. The American conscience
will need to be much more stimulated
than it is at present before it will pay
similar price for the sake of humanity.
The inspectors are generally cordially
received by the tenants, and the uni.
form testimony of the reports bellies the
public opinion-which has been, per-
haps, due to landlords and their agents
that tenants prefer foul rooms and
noisome air to cleanliness and ventila-
tion.- Christian Union.
