The Worcester, (NIass.) Spy tells this
story:


a short timc since there came on one OF
the trains from the West slightly built
youth, who, after leaving the cars, asked
permission of one Of the baggage masters
at the depot to seat himself aud. rest short
time in the baggage room. I he request
was granted, and the one in charge of the
room asked of the other how far he had
Travelled. The newly-arrived said he had
come a long distance-from Janesvle,
Wisconsin, without stopping-and that he
had come to Massachusetts for one sole
purpose of hunting up his fathers relatives.
II said that his father had run away from
his home when but twelve years of age !;
went on board a ship for California, which
was wrecked before reaching that place
but his father, with part of the crew was
saved He landed'in California, grew to
manhood, was married, hal two children,
a boy and girl-the former the narrator.
His father had never communicated with
his relatives here, but having acquired
large property, and retiring from daily
dClife llc, oeiuS dloo III pun hCdilh, udu
more leisure and an increased desire to find
his eastern friends


The names being given, the baggage
agent informed the traveller that his father
sister, herself the only survivor of the fam
lily, was in the city and within fifteen min
utes' walk This aunt of his was poor
widow. her husband having lost his life in
the late war. He told him to 90 t. a GER
tain street and number and call for Hattie


. and ask if she had any idea who
he could b.. He did so, aud, after look
ing in his face moment, she said he chad
his fathers eyes" She had often heard
her people speak of the long lost brother,
whom they believed lost by the shipwreck,
as in list of the lost was name which
was only different from his by one or two
letters. The JOY was mutual, aud the neph-
ew urged his aunts return with him to the
home and independence which would be 50
freely given by his father But the young
man returned without her, as other ties
were formed here aud home already pro-
vided He told her that home and
share of his fathers property awaited her

SHE NEVER LEAVES HIM.-Look at
the career Of man as he passes through the
world at a man visited BY misfortune =
How often is he left by his fellow men to
sink under the weight Of afflction unheed-
ed and alone! One friend of his own sex
forgets him, another abandons him; third
perhaps betrays him; but woman, faithful
woman, follows him in his affections with
unshaken affection; braves the changes of
feeling, of his temper, embittered by the
disappointments of the world, with the
highest Of all virtue; in resigned patience
ministers to his wants, even when her own
are hard pressing; she weeps with him,
tear for tear, in his distress, and is the first
to catch and reflect ray of JOY, should but
one light up his countenanee in the midst
of his suffering and she never leaves him
in his misery while there remains one act
oflove, duty, or compassion to be performed
And at last when life and sorrow come to
an end, she follows him to the tomb, with
an ardor of affection which death itself
cannot destroy.

To MAKE New ROPE PLIABLE-Many
of our readers have experienced great diff
Guilty in handling new ropes. Every farmer
knows how unmanageable a new stiff rope
halter is and his patience is severely tried
when he tries to tie up his cattle with it,
as the rope will coil isself into every shape
but the one desired. Often he finds his
horses and cattle rampaging about the barn,
having loosensd the knots of the rev -hal-
tiers. By simply boiling the rope in water
for two hours, all this trouble can be
avoided, and the rope made as soft and
pliable as if used months. Its strength is
not diminished, but its stiffness is gone
1t must hang in a warm room until thorough
ly dried, and not allowed to kink. This
easy remedy will secure horses and cattle
from many kicks and blows, and prevent
much profanity.-[ Hearth and !. Home.

srABLER's CANNED BEEF.-The introduction Of
this really mertorious article to the public must
cause a revolution among people who have for so
long time been paying outrsgeously to butch
ers for q very inferior article of beef The meat
in general use in our city is very inferior ar
ticle, owing to the impossblty Of procuring cat
tie from Texas by any other cheaper route than
by steamer or a long drive overland. u is we'll
known that cattle have to be driven from the nte-
rior Of Texas several hundreds OF miles for ship
ment here, and no matter how well conditioned
the cattle may be when started, on account OF
want Of proper feed and water, they arrive in
poor condition at the shipping points hurried on
board the steamers without food or water, crowded
together, subject to seasickness-this is the beef
supplied to our people. Stabler's canned beef Is
put up from the choicest beeves that can be pro-
cured in the very heart of this stock-raising
Stste-fst and juicy. Owing 10 the process Of
putting up, 1t retains all its flavor and qualities

At first there was great hesitancy
in even naming the negro suffrage
amendment. Mr.. Attorney General
West stood publicly pledged to op,
pose it. AS q lawyer, no could not,
and and he would not Stultify him
self, by putting it in the Platform.
But Generals Garfield and Reifer
and ex.Gov. Dennison reminded the
Attorney General that the Radicals
in Congress had staked their all on
giving the darkics the privileges Of
white men, and sink or swim, live
or die, survive or perish, Ohio must
resolvei in its favor. Mr.. West could
not see it in that light. He was not
a member Of Congress himself, and
had but little hope OF ever being
one, unless he had somc assurance
that the member from his district
would get another office, such, for
instance, as minister to the Cannibal
Islands-where the chief food of
man is men-and thus give him a
chance, ho West, would see the par
ty in Jericho before he would go
back on one Of his own law opIn-

The assurance was given that Mr..
Attorney General West should have
yet another chance to go to Con-
grcss--the negro voting proposition
was put into the platform in such
manner as not to offend Mr.. Vests
scnstiveness-and the platform was
adopted, and Mr.. West finally
agreed, In this shape the meeting
ordered it to Do reported to the
Convention, and it was by that body
adopted.

A Virginia banker, who was the chair
man of q noted infidel club. was travelling
through Kentucky, having with him bank
bills TO the value of $25 600. When ht
came TO lonely forest where robberiet
and murders were said TO be frequent he
was lost through taking the wrong road
The darkness Of the night came quickly
over him, and how to escape the threaten
ing danger he knew not. In his alarm
he suddenly espied in the distance dim
light, and urging his horse onward, he al
length came 10 wretched cabin. lie
nOckcd, and the door was opened by a
woman, who said her husband was out
hunting but would soon return, and she
was sure he would give him shelter for
the night. The gentlemen put up his
horse and entered the cabin, but with
feelings that can be better imagined than
described. Here he was with large sum
of money, and perhaps in the house Of
one Of the robbers whose name was d
terror TO the country.


In q short time the man OF the house
returned. He had on q deer skin shirt, q
bear skin cap, seemed much fatigued and
in talkative mood. A this bodied The

ready for instant use. The man asked
the stranger to retire TO bed, but he de.

urged, the more the in6del was alarmed.
lie felt assured that this was his last
night upon earth, but he was determined
10 sell his life as dearly as he could. His
inidel principles gave him no comfort =
His fear grew into perfect agony. What

At length the backwoodsman rose and
reaching TO the wooden shelf, took down
an old book and said:


"Well stranger if you won't go to bed |
will but it is my custom to, read chapter
Of the Holy Scriptures before | go to-bed, 7"


What change these words produced,
Alarm was at once removed from the skep-
tics mind. Though avowing himself au
in6del, he now had confidence in the
Bible. He felt safe. He felt that man
who kept an old Bible In his house and
read il, and bent his knees in prayer,
was no robber or murderer. He listened
10 the simple prayer Of the good man, at
once dismissed all his fears, and laid down
in that rude cabin and slept as calmly NJ
he did under his fathers roof. From that
night he ceased 10 revile the good old Bible.

We are always unwIse when we sacrI-
fee the higher beauty to attain the lower
one. 4 woman who would sacrifice domes-
tic affection, conscience, self-respect, honor,
to love of dress, we all agree, loves dress
too much She loses the higher beauty of
womanhood for the lower beauty of gems
and flowers and colors. A girl who sacri-
fees to dress all her time all her strength.
all her money, to the neglect Of the cuti-
yation of her mind and heart, and to the
neglect of the claims of others or helpful
ness, sacrifices the higher to the lower


beauty.


Her fault is not the love of beauty, but
loving the wrong and inferior kind. In
fine, girls, you may try yourselves by this
standard You love dress too much when
you care more for your outward adornings
than for your inward disposition when
it afflicts you more TO have torn your dress
than to have lost your temper when you
are more troubled by an ill-6tting gown
than by neglected duty when you are
less concerned at having made an unjust
comment, or spread scandalous report,
than at having worn passe bonnet /; when
you are less troubled at the thought of
being at the last great feast without the
wedding garment, than at being found at
the party tonight in the fashion of last
year. No Christian woman, as [ view it.
ought to give such attention to her dress
as to allow it to take up all of three very
important things-namely, all her time,
all her strength, all her money. Whoever
does this, lives not the life of Christian,
but that of Pagan; worships not at the
Christian altar of our Lord Jesus, but at
the shine of the lower Venus of Corinth
and Rome.-Arthur'S Home Magazine

How much the fond friends of young

Life is an earnest battle 1t is no trife
to have nature fearfully and wonderfully
made-strong desires that must be regu-
lated, enormous exposures that must be
avoided, fatal proclivities that must be re-
sisted and overcome. And therefore it is
that we so much need that early training,
that early discipline which it is hard to see
whether parents and governors are more
slow to apply or children and youth more
reluctant to receive. Let the fault lie
where it will, it is a fatal fault Success,

tray.
