THAT EBREW JEW.
BY BRF.T 11 ARTE.
Tliereonce was a tradesman renowned asa screw,
Who sold pins and needles and calicoes too,
Till he built up a fortune?tlie which .is it grew
Just ruined small traders the wholcciiy throughVet
one thing he knew,
lletween me and you,
There was a distinction
'Twixt Christian and Jew.
Till he died in his mansion, a great millionaire?
The owner of thousands?but nothing to spare
For the needy and poor, who from hunger might
drop,
Ana only n pittance (o clerks in liis shop.
But left it all to
A Lawyer, who know
A subtile distinction
'Twlxt Ebrcw and Jew.
This man was no trader, but simply a friend
t)l* this (lent who kept shop, and who, ncaring
his end,
Handed over a million?'twas only his due.
Who discovered this contrast 'twixt Ebrcw and
Jew
For he said, "if you view
This case as I do.
There is a distinction
'Twixt Ebrcw and Jew.
"For the Jew is a man who will make money
through
His skill, his Jinessc, and his capital, too,
And an Ebrew's a man that we Gentiles can
'do,'
So you see there's a contrast 'twixt Ebrcw and
JewEbrcw
and Jew,
Jew and Ebrew,
There's a subtile distinction
'Twixt Ebrew and Jew."
So lie kept up his business of needles und pins,
But always one day lie atoned for his sins,
But never the same day (for that wouldn't do)
That the Jew faced his God with the awful
Ebrcw,
For this man he knew,
Between ine and j'ou,
There was a distinction
'Twixt Ebrcw and Jew.
So he sold soda-water, and shut up the fount
Of a druggist whose creed was the Sneceli r.u
tlie Mount,
And lie trnflickcd in gaiters. and ruined the
trade
Of a German whose creed was b.v Great Luther
made.
Rut always lie know,
Between me and you,
A subtile distinction
'Twixt Ebrcw and Jew.
Then he kept a hotel?here his trouble began?
In a fashiou unknown to his primitive plan ;
For the rule of his house to his manager ran,
"Don't give entertainment to Israelite mail."
Yet the manager kucw,
Between me nud you,
No other distinction
'Twixt Ebrcw and Jew.
"You may give to John Morrisey supper and
wine,
And Madame N. N. to your care I'll resign ;
You'il see that these Jenkins from Missouri Flat
Aro properly cared for; but recollect that
Never a .Tow
Who'd not au Ebrcw
Shall take up his lodgings
llcre at the Grand U.
wear :
You'll pcriuil the Vau Dams at the waiters to
swear;
You'll allow Mis* Decollete to flirt on the stair;
llut as to nu Israelite?pray have a care,
For, between me and you,
Though the doctrine is new.
There's a business distinction
"l'wixt Ebrew and Jew."
Now, how shall we kuow ? Prophet, tell us,
pray do,
Whore the line of the Hebrew fades into the
Jew ?
Shall we keep out Disraeli and take Kothschild
in ?
Or snub Meyerbeer and think Vordi a sin ?
What shall we do?
Oh, give us a fow,
Points to distinguish
'Twixt Ebrcw and Jew.
There was One?Heaven help us !?who died in
man's place,
With thorns on his forehead, but Lovo iu his
face,
And when "foxes had holes" and the birds of
the air
Had their nosts in the trees, there was no spot
to spare
For this "King of the Jews."
Did the Romans refuse
This right to the Ebrcws
Or only to Jews ?
The Best Leuacy eoi^ Sons.? Every
parent is anxious about the future of his
children. This is u natural instinct. But
in the days of luxury and speculation fathers
make fatal mistakes in regard to their
sons. Even self-made men who have won
success through toil and hardship, by a mistaken
affection, withhold the discipline that
made thom what they are, and which is absolutely
necessary to develop the manhood
of their boys. It is well and wisely said
that .the best legucy a man can loa-re his
children is the ability to take care of themselves.
Fit them for active business or useful
labor and you secure them au income for
all time to come. This income is as mnch
greater in value than the same income derived
from iuhcrituucc, as useful employment
is better thau idleness. A practical
knowledge of some useful business, art or
trade, sceuis indcpensablc in these days of
sharp competition and hardship. And in
selecting employment for your sons, one
thing should bo clearly understood?the
market is largely overstocked with clerks
and salesmen, who expect largo pay for little
work. Success aud affluence must be
looked for in other fields. And those most
promising in good results are identified with
the demands, growth and development of
the country, where the profits may be small
but sure. "Small, steady gains lead to com
petence and peace of mind." Give a young
mau good moral habits and a practical
knowledge of some useful business, and the
chance is that he will not be long in working
his way iuto a position where lie will
realize 81,000 a year?an amount about
equal to the interest on 815,000. Now a
young man who earns 81,000 a year is in a
far better position than a thoughtless and
idle young spendthrift who possesses 815000,
because lie is more useful and is making
himself happy instead of miserable.
What He Would Like.?As Deacon
A., on au extreme)} cold morning in the old
times, Wis riding by the house of an Infidel
neighbor, Mr. Potter, the latter was chopping
wood. The usual salutations wore exchanged,
tho severity of the weather briefly
discussed, and tho horseman made demonstrations
of passing on, when his noighbor
detained him with?
"Don't be in a hurry, Deacon ; would you
not like a glass of Jamaica this morning ?"
"Thank you kindly," said the old gcutlcinan,
at the same time beginning to dismount
witll Jill t.lin ilpliltornfinn KnnAtniim o ilnonAn
"Don't care if 1 do."
"Ah ! don't trouble yourself to get off,
Deacon," said the neighbor.' "I merely
asked for tbe information. We haven't a
drop in the house."
The Deacon sighed, mounted his horse
and rode off.
Tiiouoht.?If a reflective, aged man
were to find at the bottom of an old chest
?where it had lain forgotten fifty years?a
record which he had written of himself when
ho was young, simply and vividly describing
his whole heart and pursuits, and reciting,
verbatim, many passages of the language
which he sincerely uttered,, would he unt
read it with more wonder than almost any
other writer could at his ago inspire ? He
would lose the assurance of his identity under
the impression of his immense dissimilarity.
It would secui as if it must be the
tale of the juvenile days of some ancestor,
with which he had no connection but that
of name.
The "cullod bred'ren and sistcrin" were
in the full enjoyment of a rcdhot revival in
Uullit county, wheu some sinner threw a
ripe hornet's nest through the window and
the uieetiug adjourned without taking up a
collection or "singin' de las' two lines ob do
sockdolager beginnin' wid?
"Jiortl dismiss us wid dy blcssiif,
Uib us sinful niggers rest,
Scorch dc one who had no bisncss
x uvmiu wiu ?iai jiv iifi S lies .
Seek not 50 much to know thy enemies
as fricuds; for where one man has fallen by
foes, a hundred have been ruined by acquaintances.

th method of preparing cabbages; This is
a' irv appetizing dish, and by some persons
co sidored more wholesome than cabbage
pi nly boiled. Cut a cabbago into quarters

or nore, then boil in the usual way, nud

Mr. Rpiugoon has taken the velocipede
into the pulfcit. Iu a recent sermon he said:
"these new inventions which the lads were
riding down Vur streets, would not keep up
unless they wfero kept going; the moment
they were stopped they fell down, and in
this they were pxcccdiugly like the Christian
church, which would fall unless it was
Conslautly moviug on."
A learned sergeant was once accused of
having disgraced the bar by taking silver
from a client, tlio etiquette of the profession
requiring that his fee should be iu gold.?
"I took silver," lie replied, "because 1 could
not get gold, but I took every farthing the
rj^h^had iu the world, and 1 hope you do
nof call that disgracing tho profession.
An
exchange has the following characteristic
prayer from the heart of a little boy.?
He had evidently had a little unpleasantness
with Aunt Kffie : "Please (iod, bless
