He has been engaged in the same business

He expocts with his machinery and 100 handa

O step in the right direction, for whether we

confined for life or long terms at trades, they
become skilful workmen aud will ultimately
bring profit to the State. In some States the

Hotel Life i'm New York.

As New York attracts visitors from
all parts of the world, says a city letter,
the hotels are well patronized. Some
new features, however, are now intro
duced which show how wealth and lux
ury can increase the cost of support.
Here is Fifth avenue establishment,
not intended for transient guests, but
for boarders of the highest rank. II
contains no single rooms, being laid
ont in suites of three or more. The
rent is $40 to $160 per week, to which
is added the price of board, which is
not less than 800 per week. There are
families at the Sherwood whose bill is
81, 900 per month, and if the reader is
desirous of getting rid of his money
in an elegant as well as rapid man.
ner, he will know where to take rooms.
The Broadway hotels charge from B 80
to $5 per day. Other houses rent rooms
by the night or week, and the guests
take their meals at the restaurant in the
basement. Lovejoy, the originator of
this system, became famous i'll his day
and made a fortune. He charged 80
cents nightly for rooms, but at present
the price is ST. In addition to this
there are cheap hotels near Washington
market, which are always full and are
making money at very handsome rate.
They charge from 30 cents to 70 cents
for rooms, and the guests eat in the
restaurant. These houses attract a solid
class which only seeks comfort and econ
omy, and hence is willing to put up in
the plebia1 precincts of Washington
market

An English Memorial.

An English memorial of President
Garfield is proposed by writer in the
London Echo, who concludes his touch
ing and friendly letter thus: Possibly
it is dream, but, if nothing more, one
cannot help dreaming that some day
our children's children, looking in
either land on such a memorial, might
ask its meaning, and receive some such
answer as this: 'Our fathers were at the
first one people, but in an evil time they
became two peoples, and for many years
there was little love lost between them.
But because each people had so much
in common with the other it could not
be that this estrangement should last,
and learning first justice to each other
in matters over which they had reasona-
BILE cause of difference, and afterward
sympathy with each others sorrows and
exultation over each others triumphs,
they became again one people. and since
that day there has been no power of
evil or despotism in the world that has
dared to withstand the united power of
England and America, or to impede their
united march in the path of freedom and
happiness.

At early dawn, when DER the leaves
The hoar-frost creeps and steals their
bloom,
When trees stand stiff in gloom
Beneath the sunless morn,
Old Farmer John salutes his sheaves
OF ripened corn.
Bright jewels 'mong the stubble glcam,
And sparkle from his careless tread,
And gossamer, outspread,
Enrobes the naked thorn;
But Farmer John, to all dream,
Moves through his corn.
The startled hare before him springs,
And down the furrow speeds like wind.
While crisp leaves spirit behind
The yellow mists, upl orne,
Skim er the vale ON noiseless wings
Above the corn.
But Farmer John with anxious eyes
The struggling streaks of dawn surveys,
And through the spreading haze
That wells the face of morn
blood-red rim he sees arise
To greet his corn.
And fear creeps through his trembling veins
As the rising sun dilates in red,
And rs each mountains head
His crimson hues adorn,
John quakes to think the coming rains
May swamp his corn.
Still high o'crhead the waning moon
Reveals patch of clearing blue
And hope comes peering through
With Luna'S welcome horn,
That yet favoring sky at noon
Will bless the corn.
The changeful sun, erst stepped in fire,
Behold. pours fourth rich amber streams
That quench with bright joy-gleams
The frowns his face had worn,
For Heaven and he may now conspire
To save the corn.
See, DER the east golden mantle's lungl
Fast move the mists from out the north,
And as tie winds come forth,
To little shreds are torn
The great cloud d-masses that o'erhung
The golden corn.
And 10! the wakened crows soar high
How arrow-straight they upward fly
Der bits of dappled sky,
And leave the earth forlorn
While clouds of lazy rocks float by
The tempting corn.
What smiles sleep in the farmers eyes!
To-day he'll lin that precious grain,
For he knows the dreaded rain
Such bodings dare not scorn.
So whistling thanks to sun and skies.
He leaves the corn.
