A Runaway Girls Life of Misery

The Sisters Of the House of Mercy in
Second avenue, were awakened one sum
mer night about two years ago by timid
ring at the door bell. They found a girl
who asked shelter for the night; and as
she was neatly dressed and respectable
looking, they readily admitted her. She
gave the name of Lizzie Rush, and her
age as seventeen years, but would say no
more. She was pretty, and her hands
showed that she was unused TO work.
She desired to be received as an inmate
Of the institution, but the sisters could
not comply with her request, and conse-
quently she was taken to the Yorkville
police court. Justice Wandell, coniec
turing that the girl was a runaway, took
her aside and questioned her, and at
length drew out the confession that she
had run away from home, that her father
was well-to-do farmer near Stamford,
Conn.,, that she had read great deal OF
life in the city of New York, that she
had come to see for herself, that her
money was all expended in paying her
fare, and that she went hungry the first
day, until directed by policeman to the
House of Mercy. Justice Waudell de-
tanned her until he could communicate
with her parents, and they received her
gladly.
Afagged emaciated woman, still young,
though aged by misery, entered the YORK

B0naparte's Birthplace.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

FROM the Pail Ma II Gazette.
A French Imperial paper makes the
statement that the French Government
has conceived the idea of ceding Corsica
to Italy for a consideration The great
object OF getting rid Of the island would
be to cut the ground under the feet of any
Bonapartist pretender. It may be re-
membered that the question has often
been debated as to whether Napoleon 1.
was a Corsican or Frenchman, and it
has been suspected that the registration
OF his birth was falsifed in order to make
out that he was born after Corsica had
become French. It would certainly be a
relief to France if it could get rid Of one
class of prerenders; but it is doubtful
whether the Bonapartcs would go back
to their Isle and not claim to be natural
lied it IS curious what number of nat
uralized Italians, in addition to the b.
papartes, have playeda part in French
history. One might mention, for exam
pie, the Med1cis, Julius Mazarin Concini !;
the De Broglies, or De Brogl1os; the Mi
rabeaus; Massena, the spoiled child of VIC
tory; Prince of Essling; Duke of Riyoli !;
and at present M. Gambetta, whose
grandfather lived at Genoa.

Genial Manness.

It is the existence of a traditional code
of manners, says a writer in London
weekly journal, that makes social inter
course in France smooth and exhilarat-
ing, and its bright, polite, appreciative
spirit is the result of training, not the
mark Of insincerity. Manners are catch
ing. It has been noticed that the En-
glish people are more genial on the Con-
tinent than at home, and it is amusing
enough to mark the thawing process 60
ing on. I remember, during my stay at
French hotel, watching the behavior of
a British family, at the diurnal gather
ing at the table d'hotc, the gradual un-
bending of the carriage, the loosening of
the locked tongue. A visitor at the ho-
tel tell i'll, the English family followed
the example of the French and made
daily inquiries fer the invalid, and lent
HIM books. Had the scene been laid in
England these civilities might never have
occurred; our insular phlegm might have
withheld such expressions Of sympathy
toward one not introduced. The unlucky
side of the national trait is, that it chills
those who fain would work up against it
and seek to establish a more genial and
human relationship between strangers ::
the notion that their pollteness might
be construed by the subjects of it into
an attempt to force themselves upon
their acquaintance, and the rebuff this
would inevitably mee' repels them. II
am fast becoming as rude as my neigh
bors. The next time meet them shall
ignore them as if they were made of thin
air?' exclaimed high-spirited thorough
little lady with Celtic blood in her veins,
who, having paused once Oh twice on the
stairs of the lodging house to make room
for another lady, who also temporarily
dwelt in this abode, the latter, neither
fastening BIER step nor bowling her head
IN acknowled gment of the civility. If
the manners of men are losing the cour-
teous Difference that should mark their
demeanor toward women, it is. let us ad-
NIT it, our tanlt. Women are a great
civilizing agency of the world, and if we
are Indifferent to these small, "small
sweet courtesics," then the fountain head
must dry up. There is 3 story told of
Gen. Lamoriecierc, who, in the famous
une days of 1S4S, wss fired at. The shot
missed, and the general drew his sword
and turned On his would-be assassin.
when, seeing it was a woman, he sheathed
his weapon and raised his hat. The story
torcibly required to me the other day
when in the art studio, where several
ladies We're painting, a young man enter
ed, and kebt his hat on his head during
bis visit. He no doubt considered the
young women assembled not of his set,
and therefore unworthy the homage Of a
bare head

White birch is largely used in this
manufacture, and as extensive forests of
this wood grow throughout the State of
Maine, Canada and the provinces, many
spool factories are located in those Sec
tons in order that supplies Of material
may be easily procured. TIE wood after
being delivered to the factories is first
sawed into pieces about four feet long
and from an inch to an inch and half
square, according to the size of the spool
it is required to make. These pieces are
put into a dry-house and thoroughly
dried, from whence they are taken into
the factory and given to the "roughers,
who in an incredibly short space Of time
bore hole in the center couple of
inches deep, turn about the same space
round, and then cut off the length re-
quired for spool. The machines used
for this purpose are revolving planners, in
the center of which is revolving gimlet
or bit, and Immediately to the right
circular saw with gauge set to the
proper size Of the spools. The trough
ers' receive a cent and half per
gross for their work, and experienced
men can turn out from 100 to 100 gross
per day. The round blocks pass from
them to the ''inlshers,; who place them
IN machines which give them the shape
OF spools and makes them quite smooth.
A. man stands with his left hand on a
small lever, and with the right places the
blocks, one at a time, in the lathe,
then draws the lever toward him for an
instant and the work is done. The lever
is pushed back and the spools drop down
into a.box below, while the right hand is
ready with another block. These blocks
are handled at the rateof twenty-five or
thirty per minute. The ''fnishers" also
receive cent and half per gloss, and
they can each turn out from 100 to 1870
gross per day. The spools were then
thrown loosely into a large cylinder,
which revolves slowly so that the spools
are polished by the constant rubbing up
on each other for some time. On being
taken out of the cylinder they are placed
IN hopper with an opening at the bot
tom, through which they pass down a
slide tor inspection. Here the inspector
sits and watches closely to see that no
imperfect spools are allowed to pass, and
very small knot or scratch is sufficient
to condemn them. The spools then pass
into the hands OF the packers, who han
die them very rapidly. They are packed
In large boxes made the proper size, so
that the layers of spools exactly fill the
box and no additional packing, and a
| smart bOv who is accustomed to the work
can pack about 200 gross per day.

had to be all day at his work, and the
girl in the kitchen had her hands full
with Tommy and the Homework. The
doctors gig at the door notified the neioh-
bors OF the trouble, and after it had
stopped there daily for week. MS
Dean sent over her girl to inquire how
Mrs. Beardsley was. Mrs. Morris met
her husband in the street and asked the
same question. Mrs. Roberts was not
concerned about the matter. -E.Those up-
per-crust folks keep sending in to, ask. I
see; haven't never called there, so I
amt wanted or needed now as know Of.
But she did tell the doctor she was a
good watcher, and would go if they
couldn't get any body else. ,-r.~
Mrs. Waters had little baby and
could DO nothing, yet she sent in rose
bud, the first from her one cherished
bush, and Justina cried over it; she was
so weak! Mrs. Greene came over once
or twice, and sent some custard. but she
wasn't no use IN sickness, so dreadful
nervous her husband said. J: .-..
Miss Betsey was out of town at first.
but as soon as she came back not dav
passed that she did not go over and cheer
the sick woman with homely words of
faith and hope and good will: She went
into the kitchen and made beef tea.
she came up stairs and shook up
her hot pillows, replenished the fire,
combed out the tangled hair with
the gentlest fingers and kept Tom
my with her in the intervals, as long as
he could he eoaxsd to stay. When Mrs.
Beardsley was getting better, the first
day she was able to SIT MP, after Miss
Betsey had made her comfortable with
cushions and footstool, the poor languid
woman put her thin arms about the old
lady's neck and kissed her, and dropping
her head on that sturdy shoulder burst
snto irrepressible sobs.
"Lawtul sakes! don't We do so. child!
stop right off: Why, you'll be all tucker
ed out when he gets hsme eff you do so.
Now, stop right ofin'
II can't help it," sobbed Tina; "vou're
so good, Miss Betsey; you're real angely'

your mind, child Who ever saw an au-
gel with yaller-gray hair and not six teeth
to show for't?" laughed the good old soul.
"You stop cryin' and talkin' of angels.
and swaller your beef tea, or the doctor'll
be scoldln' Of ye, for certain sure''
When Mrs. Beardsley was well enough
tor change OF air she went to the city to
see her sister, who had just come back
from Europe, and was naturally eager
to hear all about Tina's surroundings.
And have you got any neighbors,
dear2" she asked after many other ques-
tons.
"One," said Justina, smiling.
The question still remains to be answer
eel "Who was Mrs. Beardsley's neighbour"

Why Flow Sandy Land.

Sandy soils are comparatively unpro-
ductive, chiefly because they are too
loose. The object of treating them
should be to render them more compact.
STILL they are plowed as frequently as
other soils, and generally are plowed
deeper. This of course renders them
more loose. There is no occasion to
pillow sandy lana except for the purpose
OF destroying the weeds and grass that
grow on the surface. This may be done
by an implement that will cut the roots
and leave them to die by exposure to the
heat of the sun. After they are dry they
may be burned or, if the laud is to be de-
voted to cultivated crops, the thin surf
may remain on the surface to serve as
mulch. Sandy soils are especially bene-
fitted by mulching, but are injured by
ploWlng, and change in their treatment
IS essential to their pr 1ductiveness.

They say the new ways are the best,

How like the presence of friend,

To plant the corn we took our hoe,

We'd sing with hearts aglow with love,
And shout and talk of faith along the way. g.
But now with aching heart feel
Religion, like the rest, is something new;
For we must pray in costly church,
Upright and stiff, in a bright cushioned pew!
Now the dear bibles laid aside
And papers read! the world is moved by steam!
And now machines are made to talk!
Alas it seems like some wild, cruel dream!
