Ovs Cpanrriss?She died on Thurs?
day bight, end on Friday afternoon
?ho wan carried from tbe fourth story
back of a oheap tenement house- in a
stained pineoofflo. It must bare been a
relief to die, for aftec death there ia at
leastnq hunger; and, bo it would have
been* but lor tbe two children who
leaned ou her as on a reed that breaks
beneath, tho weight. Naturally, she
waa anxious for them, and it is not
strange that, while she lay iu her tnus
lib shroud, the four strangers .besides
the clergyman who attended her fune?
ral remarked a lingering, cure-woru
expression, as though the last sleep,
which is baid to smooth out k 11 wrin?
kles, bad been powerless to efface her
solicitude. It was hard to leave those
little ones to the uncertain charity of a
tickle world, but doubtless the sisters
who supplied the slender wants of tho
invalid will sec to it that they have
some roof to cover them und clothing
to keep them from the pinching cold.
oue of the most beautiful results of
au udvauced civilisation is the dis?
pensation of charity. A practical re?
ligion t hat sees a brother or a sister in
every sufferer aud recognizes the claim
of the weak upon the strong is oue of
the finest illustrations, while it is the
stmugHsl proof, of the divine origin
of rovelatiou. The religion which con?
sists o( a regular aud punctual attend?
ance upon the services of tho churoh
is doubtless valuable. The Sabbath,
with its test and quiet, its sleepiug
commerce and its closed doors and
burred windows, is an invaluable con
servitor of the public morals. Silt
that other kiud of religion which is
the embodiment of obligations aud
duties, whioh, like a loadstone, draws
the gold of tho rich toward tbe cheer?
less hearths and empty larders of the
poor, contains an element which works
like magic ou the general health of the
community. The Christianity of a
creed is well, but that of a noble
life is tbo true evangel thut obarms

L'ho story goes that she bad seen bet?
ter days. She could hardly have seen
worse. Only tun years ago she was
the mistress of a freestoue ftont, ad
mired for her grace and beajity, and
courted for her wealth. Her busband
was a successful dealer in stocks
When the war broke out he had little
or uothing. Wneu L.iu gave his sword
to the victor he ooouted his wealth by
millions, and waa generous to a fault.
But who can tell what changes may oo
car in the mercantile life of New York
in the course of a few years? We are
like a huge cauldron of water kept at
(he. bubbling, boding poiut all the
time. The hutrylpg drops which are
at tbe bottom to-day rise to the top to
morrow, while those whioh to day
fondly dream that thoy are permanent?
ly boo are at the top, suddenly begin to j
sink, snd do uot rest until they toaoh
the bottom. So this man's hundreds |
of thousands faded uway into mere
thousands, and his thousands, as
chough saturated with tbo demoniac
spirit of ill luck, became paltry hiu
dreds, whioh melted like suowflikes
when tbey fall on tbe river. Ho could
not endure the shook, and his eud
was chronicled in an obscure
comer of the daily paper under
che beading "Painful Suicide."
The mother was horror-struck as she
folded her babes to her bosom aud
-.tared the world in the face. The old
acquaintances? They were as though
they had never been. They fluttered
past her ou the December side-walk
with their silks and furs, but they
jeither knew her nor cured to rem*;
Oer her. She had dropped from "the
set," aud thut was enough. She sewed
with bleeding fingers and a broken
heart, and somehow the tears unbid?
den fell on her pule cheeks as i
thought of the past mid sighed at tht
frailty of human friendship. She
could j'tst pay the rent of two dingy
rooms ou tho fourth story back in
dark and unwholesome alley by work?
ing fourteen hours a day. But, un?
fortunately, poor people bave nervous
systems, and fourteen hoars' work,
with iusufHcieut food and broken r<o
brooght her to tbe edgo of the grave.
Just thou the friendly knock of charity
was heard, tho few wauts of tLoj
broken-hearted were supplied, aud,
with a last, long, agonized look?a
look and a praywr iu one?she was
lifted out of her rags und out of the
pestilence of that dark alley into
Heaven. What a change! This is but
a single illustration of tbe vicissitudes
and the sadness whioh are occurring
every day, and which are inevitably
oooneoted with the life of a great city.
Who can doubt the value of those
manifold chanties which are the bene?
dictions of tbo age, sod who cau with?
hold his sympathy or bis purse from
those institutions, tbo offspring of I
every church, whioh are tho almoners
of our good will to tbe poor and un?
fortunate? Now York is generous in
every direction. Its people are im?
pulsive aud sympathetic. It may be
gxaspiog and hard iu its mercantile |
life, but it is never forgetful or ne
glootful of tbe claims of that large I
olass whioh finds it bard to live. It |
listens to the eloquence of its favorite
preaohers when they discourse of faith
and hope, but it is not unmindful of
tbe faot that "the greatest of these is
charity."-?New York Herald.

I le?rn from a newspaper that "a Kan?
sas widower woe tarred and feathered
the other day because be didn't wear
deep enoagb mouruing for his de?
parted spouse." Tbie reminds me of
the oonteet that has beeu raging in
our village between Brown and Jones.
Both of them lost their wives on the
same day, and, after the funerals,
Brown appeared again in public with
three inches of crape on bis high bat,
while Jones only bad two. Jones waa
so much afraid people would think he
didn't mourn for his wifo as deeply as
Brown grieved for his, that he added
four inches of erape to his hat, where?
upon Brown, apprehending that peo?
ple would believe that he thought more
lightly of his loss than Joneu did of
bis, put eight inches of orspe on his
hut. Then, Jones determined not to
bo outdone as a mourner for the dear
departed, put on so muob more orape
tbat it extended considerably abovo
the top of bis hat crown. Wberenpon
Urowu bee kino excited, and, cutting
tho crown from his old hat, he dove?
tailed it on his new one, and swathed
it iu crape to the summit. Jones was
unwilling to display envy, but the me?
mory of Mrs. Jones Wae so sacred to
him that be euveloped his hut in paste?
board four feet high, aud wrapped it
all in the blackest orape be could buy.
But Browu, feeling that his love for
Mrs. Browu demanded energetic ac?
tion, bought fifteen feet of stove-pipe,
jammed it down over hie hat, ban?
daged it with 200 yards of crape, and
onoo moro appeared upon the street.
Then Jones sent to the city and
ordered a hat eighty feet high, oraped

A fire-shield has been iuvented by
Oapt. Elijah Low, of Bangur, Maine,
intended to meet a want long felt by
Ore men in preventing fire from leap?
ing across a street or to adjoining
buildings. "This shield," says a local
journal, "gives the firemen a great ad?
vantage, iu that while they can ap?
proach at working distance the hottest
fire, they can command the opposite
side of the street, or any adjoining
building which could uot be ap?
proached iu any other way. The de?
vice is light aud portable?two men
can easily bandle it?about fifty-four
inches in width by six aud one-half
feet in height, with a protecting carve
at the top, the whole being of galva?
nized iron. Near the centre, and on a
level with the eye, is an orifice some
eight iuch.es iu diameter, which can be
wholly closed or opened sufficiently
for the introduction of the nozzle of
the hose when playing. The patent
also ioolodes the insertion of a small
window of mica, through which the
boseman can watch the notion of the
flames while fighting the hottest fire in
safety."
Trouble in the cotton mills of Fall
River, Massachusetts, probably reached
a culminutiou Saturday, and a disas?
trous and general strike seems inevi?
table. A conference of manufacturers,
at which a delegation of disaffected
weavers wa* preseut, waa held Satur?
day evening, aud after lengthy discus?
sion a proposition was agreed upon
virtually giving back to the operatives
one-third of., the ten per cent, re lue
tiou. A meeting of the weavers of
i ho Merchants''and Grauite and Cres?
cent Mills was immediately held, und
it w .s fauanimousty voted to refuso
toy thing short of the restoration of
their full pay. The two weeks' notice
of ibo weavers in the tw? last named
mills was on Saturday night, aud of
the Merchants* OU Monday night.
The operatives are1, therefore, on a
strike, which must cause a stoppage of
these three mills. Muob excitement
exist- over the matter.
A singular case of hydrophobia, and
oue which has thus far bsfil'id medical
skill, bus occurred near Pittabarg, Pa
A yoang man was bitten in tbe hand
by a dog three months ago; tbe wouud
healed, and nothing but a soar re?
mained to indicate tbat the member
bad even been wounded. Tbe other
night the young man's bed-fellow wee
awakened by bearing him clawing at
the bed clothes and barking like a dog;
and, ou rousing him, was attacked
with torrible fury. He seised his
friend and held him down, but had to
exort all his strength and dexterity to
avoid being bitteu. The patient baa
beeu removed to tbe Weatero Penn?
sylvania Hospital, at Pittsburg, but is
not expeoted to recover.
The latest proposition is to rsise tba
tax ou all grades of sugar half a oent
per pound. A Washington special to
the Chioago Times says that specula?
tors, commercial gamblers and lobby
sharks swarm around the door of tbe
Commtttoo on Ways and Means, oatoh
the members as they emerge, and fol?
low them home with frantic appeals
for points. Of oourse, if tbe positive
action of the committee could be
known twenty-four boars in advance
of ita general publication, fortunes
could be made by judioioae handling
of staples on which a largo inoreeae of
taxation might be recommended.
