The Pleasure of Poverty.

l heard man who had failed in bust
ness, and whose furniture was sold at
auction. say that when the cradle, and
the crib, and the piano went, tears
would come, and he had to leave the
house to be a man. Now, there are
thousands Of men who have lost their
pianos, but who have found better music
in tie sound of their children's voices
and footsteps going cheerily down with
them to poverty, than the harmony of
chorded instruments. Oh, how blessed
is bankruptcy when it saves a mans
children? I see many men who are
bringing up their children as I should
bring up mine, if, when they are 10
years old, I should lay them on the dis
secting table and cut the sinews of their
arms and legs, SO that they could never
walk nor use their hands, but only sit
still and be fed. Thus rich men put the
knife of Incidence and luxury to
their children's energies, and they grow
up fatted, lazy calves, fitted for nothing
at Is but to drink deep and squander
wide, and the father must be slave all
his life in order to make beasts of his
children. How blessed, then, is the
stroke of disaster, which sets the chill
dren free and gives them over to the
hard but kind bosom of Poverty. who
says to them "Work p and working

Rolling Mills Closed,

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-The North side rolling
mills have shut down for want of work.
throwing out 1900 to 1000 men. The
South side mills continue running, with no
prospect of stopping. President Potter
says rails can be made there SIS a ton
cheaper than at the North side mills. be-
cause of labor saving machinery and many
accommodations at the former not pos
sessed by the latter. The Joliet steel mills
have given notice that they will shut down
till Jan. 1.
President Potter, of the North Chicago
rolling mills, says it was necessary to
make some repairs, and as the mill was
out of work he thought it good time to
make them. Resumption will depend on
the orders. The men thrown out of en-
ployment, while saying they have been
getting good wages and have money on
hand to carry them through enforced idle
ness at least till January, are inclined to
charge that the shutting down was with a
view to affect wages. It seems the report
that the Joliet iron mills had shut down
was premature. A representative of the
mill here says it has merely banked up one
furnace for repairs, and the rest of the
mill is still in operation.
