An Honest Ticket Agent.

A reformed ticket agent, now engaged
IN mercantile pursuit, and who looks
back with profound melancholy and re-
morse to his wicked career, as he sailed
in as a ticket agent, told me that once,
in his sinful days, he was employed at
Chicago on through line from that In
corporated Boreas on the lake to New
York city, which, made up of new
combination, was =" bucking" against
Vanderbilt. To extend it's custom the
combination had at Chicago corps of
able-bodied runners, to seize wayfarers
by the throat and fetch them up to the
ticket agent, where the innocent tray
eler was to be talked into ticket over
the combination.
One day an able-bodied rufian came,
leading up rough-looking customer,
who wished to purchase ticket to New
York by the way of Cleveland. The
combination did not touch Cleveland.
But evidently the old white-hatted,
loose-trousered, coarse-booted country
man, with his white head and goggling
look, did not know what he wanted. 1t
was for the ticket agent to care for him
and so he ratified ON, ticket in hand,
until the miserable, goggle-eyed old
nuffle- toes had extracted from fat wal
let the price and shambled awkwardly
away.
-" Say, old fellow, asked a friend who
happened to be in the Office, do you
know who you sold ticket to then p
"Some old fool of corn cracker"
"Not q bit of it-that was Horace
Greeley"
"Gee whillicans and he wanted to go
to Cleveland ?"
eyes, he's billed to lecture there, and
the Tribune will give your combination
the devil for the swindle."
"That's So Put your cheek to this
hole till I find him."
Away IAN the ticket agent. It was
not difficult to find the hotel at which
the venerable philosopher lodged. The
ticket agent found him in the reading
room, porting over stale issue Of the
Tribune. He tapped Horace on the
shoulder, and the philosopher looked up
with the child-like expression of his that
seemed to come out from open eyes and
mouth.
81 beg your pardon, said the agent,
"but sold you ticket to New York
a while since, and l made mistake"
In the money, I suppose, y replied
Horace, dryly.
"No, sir; in the route. [ remem-
bered after you left you said Cleveland.
Now the ticket gave you will not take
you to Cleveland
"The hell it don'tp' cried Greeley,
starting up. "Well, young man, I can
tell you that would be great disap-
pointment to Cleveland"
"I don't know anything about that
but did not want any man to miss his
way through any fault of mine. So
I've been in every hotel in Chicago after
you"
's.The devil you havep'
81 have. There is the right ticket.
It's over rival line. But my honor,
sir, rises above trick. I bought the
rig ht ticket for you, and if you will
give me the old one we will be even."
"Young man." said Horace, fishing
from his capacious pocket the ticket Of
the combination, "you are very good:
too good, come to think 1T, for ticket
agent. Leave that, good young man,
before your innocent nature is corrupt
ed, or your patent-screw pod-anger line
is burstedup. Go West, young man go

WHERE rs YESTERDAY.

Motherl some things want to know,
Which puzzle and confuse me so.
To-day is present, as you say;
But. tell me, where is yesterday?
/ did not see it as it went;
only know how it was spent
In play, and pleasure, through the rain;
Then why won't it come back again?
To-day the sun shines bright and clear;
But then, to-morrow's drawing near.
To-day-oh, do not go away!
And vanish like dear yesterday.
Ills when the sun and all the light
Have gone, and darkness brings the night,
1t seems to me, you steal away,
And change your name to yesterday.
And will all time be just the same?
To-day-the only name remains?
And shall always have to say,
Tomorrow you'll be yesterday?
wonder, when we go to he aven,
If there record will be given
OF all our thoughts and all our ways,
Writ on the face of yesterdays?
If SO, pray God grant to me
That mine noble life may be;
For then, I'll greet with joyous gaze
The dear, lost face of-yesterdays.

The Kind of Country New Mexico Is.

Gen. Lew Wallace does not give q
very encouraging account of New Mex

"The southern portion of New Mex
leo and Northern Old Mexico is infested
by bands of thieves, robbers and muir
derers, many of whom are wanted in the
East to answer for crimes committed.
They think no more Of killing a man
than of shooting game. They rob the
miners of their horses, mules and other
property. They rob anybody they lay
their hands on. If man resists they
kill him. The property and life Of no

Wages and Cost of Living in China

Wages and Cost of Living i'm China.
There have been many books written
on China from the time OF Able Hue to
the present. But most of them have
been too general to present any precise
idea of the actual social conditions in
that vast empire. Recent official obser-
walton has, however, done much to clear
away the mists which obscure real life.
Most of the trades which we. have are
carried on in the Central Flowery Land.
There are there the traditional butcher,
baker, and candlestick- maker" But
there is q peculiarly which is not found
in civilization. The artist obtains no
higher rewards than the ordinary crafts
man. There appears to be dead-level
for all who work with hand or finger. A
master workman in any of the trades in
China gets So per week, OF $156 per an
mum. But the workman only gets half
that remuneration. One dollar and fifty
cents per week, or $78 per annum, is the
average rate, and it is not every work.
man who can obtain it. Youngsters or
women get so cents per week, or $26 per
annum. It will be observed that these
are the wages paid in the higher walks
of art and mechanics. There is only
one class of operatives who are more
handsomely rewarded. Gold and silver
smiths do little better. The silk-reel-
er, or spinner, sometimes gets from 81 to-
So per day, because the silk has to be
reeled off the cocoons in given time,
and as consequence the work has to be
prosecuted day and night. Consul
Denny, at Shanghai, thus figures out
the expenses Of living in connection
with the compensation specified:

they go over into Old Mexico, and laugh

they retire the outlaws come back into

killing again."

CHARITY, or love, is the connecting
link which unites earth to heaven, and
man to man. While this remains Sc

scientiousness, will form parts of that
beauteous whole, without which the
bond of society must be unrooted, and
this earth relapse into second chaos.

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.


The MiIkman and the Sandman.
Every day,
Every day,
Stop two men at my door; they cay
To me or mine few words polite,
But early at morning, early at night,
They're sure to come, be it fair or wet,
AS the sun is sure to rise.and set.
For one the little girl God-Locks waits,
While tie other one she fairly hates.
The one that she
Is glad to see
Is gruf and homely as he can be;
And the covered cart in which he rides
Has letters painted upon the sides
The Elgin Dairy" think it is
And Gold-Locks never is known to miss
His pause at tine gate but there she stands
With her silver cup in her chubby hands:
This little one,
When the day is done,
Has habit of wishing it just begun.
But the shadowy sandman softly knocks,
And whispers, g Bedtime, little Gold-Locks!"
Then scatters his dust in her tired eyes
Till she rubs them drowsily and signs,
And drops on her arm her heavy head,
Unwilling as ever to go to bed.
All, wait, my dear!
And year by year
viii dread Of the sandman disappear.
He'll be slower to come, and 10th to stay,
And ready at nothing to flee away.
I'm sure no Prince with coach and four,
Who would come in royal state to my door,
We're half SO welcome as him who knocks,
And whispers, " Bedtime, little Gold-Locks!"

ter generally lives at the workshop,
where he has, perhaps, two rooms, be-
side place to cook in. The household
furniture may be estimated at from 500
to $50. The ordinary workman, if mar
ried, will share small house with

access to the kitchen. He may live with

But the common laborer, whether in
field or kitchen, does not get anything
like the wages of the skilled artisan.

gets, beside his meals-worth about 10
cents from 10 cents to ID cents day,
or from 70 cents to $1.05 q week. He
can be hired by the month for from
$1.5O to So. If he gets permanent en-
ployment he is willing to accept S12 per

Waiting for morn, so serene in its light;
Waiting Tor nOOnday, 80 brilliantly bright;
Waiting at eve Tor reposc in the night.
Waiting for ,ephyrs in sprngtime that blow;
Waiting for summer aud flowers that grow

Waiting is ever the besom's refrain,
In moments of pleasure aud moments of pain;
Waiting, though stricken again and again.

When age shall relieve from the wOrry ing

Waiting when Fortune sheds brightly her
smile;
When choice are the pleasures the pathway

There always is something to wait for the
while.
Waiting in poverty, anguish and grief;
Waiting for heaven to send us relief,
Telling the heart thai the trial Is brief.
Aye, waiting for joys that will never appear :
Waiting for voices We never shall hear;
Waiting for moments that never are near.
Waiting when SHINING and worn in the strife,
With penitent throbbing the bosom Is rife,
Waiting the dawn of holier life.
Waiting at last for the spirits releasei
Waiting a rest in the Dwelling OF Peace,
Where waiting aud longing forever will
