MY LOST FLOWERS,
BY Il.J. GAIN KS.
-- '
I'll never trust & faithless friend^
With precious flowers again,
1 never had a dream of love,
Hut give my bosom pain.
- I never loved . a single flower,
v Beneath yon soft blue sky,
Ere it reach its blossom-hood, (\ \,
Was sure to droop and die.
I never saw a winsome face.
With meltinglustronn eyes*
Or gathered roses for a wreath,
But brought unpleasant sighs.
I never watched at dewy eve,
When twilight charms the hour,
But the sweetest dew drops fell,
Upon some distant flower.
I never dreamed of casket bright,
"With sparkling gcniB for me,
But in my waking hours 1 tumid.
S'Jitic false one held the key.
I never had a potion sweet,
And sighed to drink it up, *
But I found some bitter dreg,
Still mingled in the cup.
OUT OF WORK.
"It's no use, Maria, I have tried every
where."
"But you are not going to givo it up,
Peter?"
"Gjve up! How can I help it? Withiu
four days I have been to even' book
bindery in the city, and not a bit of work
can I get."
"But have you t iedanything else?"
"Whatelse can I try?"
"Why, anything that you can do."
"Yes, I've tried other things. I have
been to more than a dozen of my friends,
and offered to help them if they would
hire me."
"And what, did you mean to do for
them ?"
"1 offered either to post their accounts,
make out bills, or attend to the counter."
Mrs. Stan wood smiled as her husband
thus spoke.
"What makes you smile?" he asked.
"To think that you should have im
agined that you would find work in such
a place. But how is Mark Leeds?"
'Tie is worse off than I am."
"How so?"
"He has nolhiug in his house to cat."
A shudder crept over his wife's Irame
uo\y.
"Why do you trenftfte, wife?"
"Because when wo shall have eaten our
breakfast to-morrow morning, we shall
have nothing."
"What?" cried Peter" Staiiwood, half
starting from his chair. '#)o you menu
"Butour flour?"
"All gone. I baked the last this after
noon." *V P. Jt. IO H '"S ^
"But we linyo pork?"
"You ate tho lust this noon."
"Then we must starve!" groaned the
stricken man, starting across the room.
Peter Stanwood was a hook bindfer by
trade, and had now been out of employ
ment about a mouth. He was one of
those who generally calculated to keep
about stpmro with the world, and who
consider themselves particularly fortunate
if they keep out of debt. Ho was now
thirty years of ago, and had three chil
dren to provide for, besides himself and
wife, and this together with house rout,
was a heavy draught upon his purse,even
when work was plenty, but now?there
was nothing.
"Maria," said he, stopping and gazing
his wife in tho face, "we must starve. I
have not a single penny in the world."
"But do not despair Peter. Try again
to-morrow for work. You may find
j something to do. Anything that is hon
est is honorable Should you make but
a shilling a day, we should not starve."
??J^But our houBC rent?", ???.??m,,,,^
"Trust to me for that. The landlord
shall not turn us out. If you will engage
to find something to do, I will see that wo
have house room."
"I'll make one more trial,', muttered
Poter, despairingly.
"But you must go prepared to-do any
thing."
"Anything reasonable, Maria."
"What do you cull reasonable?"
"Why!?anything decent."
She felt inclined to smile, but the mat
ter was too serious for that, and a cloud
passed over her face. She knew hor
husband's disposition, and she felt sure
he would fiud no work. She knew that
he would look for some kind of work,
which would not lower him in the social
scale, as he had once or twice expressed
it. However, she knew it would be of
no use to say anything to him now, and
so she let the matter pass.
On the following morning, the last bit
of fodfl in the house was put on the tahle.
Stanwood could hardly realize that he
was penniless and without food. For
years ho had been gay, thoughtless, and
fortunate, making the most of the present
forgetting the past, and letting the future
take care of itself. Yet the truth was
naked and elenr; und when he left the
house, he said, "something must be
done." sx
No sooner'had her husband gone, than
Mrs. Stanwood put on her bonnet and
shawl. Her oldest child was a girl eleven
years old, and her youngest four. She
asked her next door neighbor if she
would take care of her children until
noon. These children were known to be
good and quiet, ana they were taken
cheerfully. Then Mrs. Stanwood locked
up her house and went away. She re
turned at noon bringing some dinner lor
her children, and then she went away
again. She enmc home in the evening
before her husband, carr.j iug a heavy
basket upon her arm.
"Well, Peter," sho asked, after her
husband had entered and sat down, 'what
luck?'
"Nothing! nothing!" he groaned. "I
made out to get a dinner with nn old
chum, but could not find work."
. . _ -'**it
"And where have you looked to-day ?'
"O?everywhere. I've been to hundred
phices, but it's the same story in every
place.?It's nothing but one eternal no!
no! no! I'm .sick and tired of it,"
"What have you offered to do?"
"Why, I even went so far a? to tend a
liquor store down town."
The wife smiled.
"Now what shull we do?" uttered Peter
spasmodically.
"Why, wc will oat our supper first,and
talk the matter over."
"Supper! Have you got any?"
"Ves?plenty of it."
"I3ut you told me you had none."
"Neither had we this morning, but
I've been after work to day, and found
some."
"You been after work?" uttered the
husband in surprise.
"Yes."
'But how?where?what ?'
'Why, first I went to Mrs. Snow's. I
knew her girl was sick and I hoped she
migh have work to be done. I went to
her and told her my story, and she set
me at work at ence doing her washing.
She gave me food to bring home to my
children, and paid me three shillings
when I got through.'
'What?you been washing for our
butcher's wife?' said Peter, looking very j
much surprised.
'Of course I have, and have thereby
earned enough to keep us in food through
to-morrow, at afiy rale; so to-morrow you
may;conic home to dinner.'
'But how about the rent?'
'O, I huve seen Mr. Simpson, told him
just how we wore situated, and offered
him my watch as a pledge for the pay
ment of our rent within two months.with
the interest on arcarages up to that date.
I told him Ldid the business because you
were away hunting up work.'
'So he's got your gold watch?'
'No?he wouldn't take it. Ho said if
I would become responsible for the rent,
he would lot it rest.'
'Then wo'vo got a roof to cover us,and
food for to-morrow. But what next?
What a curso these hard times arc!'
'Don't despair, Peter, for wc shall not
starve I'vo got work enough engaged
to keep us alive.'
'Ah?what is that?'
'Why, Mr. Snow has engaged rric to
carry Small packages, baskets, bundles,
and so forth, to his rich customers. He
has had to givo up one of his horses."
'Whatdo you mean, Maria?'
'Just what 1 say. When Mr. Suow

hi in. Before he went to b/ed he promised
that he would go to the butcher's in the
morning.
And Peter Stanwood went upon his
new business. Mr. Snow greeted, him
warmly, praised his faithful wife, and
then sent him off with two baskets, one
to a 31 rs. Smith's and the other to a Mrs
Dixall's. And the new carrier worked
all day, and, and when it came night he
had earned ninety-seven scuts. It had
been a day of trials, but 110 one sneered
nt him, and nil his acquaintances whom
he met greeted him the same as usual.
Ho was far happier now than he was
when he went home the night before, for
now he was independent.
On the next day he earned over a dol
lar; and thus he continued to work for a
week, at the end of which he had five
dollars and seventy five cents in his
pocket, besides having paid for all the
food for his family, save some few pieces
of meat Snow had given them Saturday
evening ho met Mark Leeds, another bin
der, who had been discharged with him
self. Leeds looked careworn and rusty.
'How goes it ?' asked Peter.
'Don't ask me,' groaned Mark. 'My

'But can't you find anything to do ?'.
'Nothing.'
"Have you tried ?'
'Everywhere; but it's 110 use. I have

on. I've been to tho bindery to.day, and
what do you suppose be offered me'/'
'What was it?'
'Why, he offered to let mc do his hand
carting! He has just turned off his nigger
for drunkenness, and offered me tho
place! The old curmudgeon! I had a
great mind to pitch him into the hand
cart, and run him to the?'
'Well,' said Peter, 'if I had been iu
your place I should have taken up with
the offer.'
Mark mentioned the name of tho same
individual again. "

Too much Harried.
Colonel W. VY. Price, the millionaire
brewer of New York city, can boast of
the most remarkable marital experiences
I of any man living. . Thirty-five years ago:
when a poorjelcrk, ho married Stmanpa
Butler, in Birmingham, England, but
separate< 1 from her by mutual agreement
Oi year aferward, aud came to New York,
Suaauna marrying shortly aftor one Sam
uel Grceu. In 1843 he married Miss'
Caralinc Barton, a young lady of respec
table family in Brooklyn, who was not
aware of his first marriage. They had
in the family an Irish servant named
Bridget Fullon, with whom, as it after
ward appeared, the Colonel became fa
vorably impressed. Meanwhile wife No. 2
learned that wife Np. 1 was living, and
left her husband, whereupon he applied
for an annulment of the marriage, which
{.was grnuted, and since that tine the Colo
nel has supported her. Subsequently ja
report reached him that wife No. 1 was
dead, whereupon ho married Bridget
Fullon, Bridget, however, was not refined
enough to adorn his home, and trouble
begau to aiise. Wife No. 2 made an
attempt to open the decree adjudging her
marriage void, upon ''l0 ground that it
was obtained by fraud. A commission
was sent to England in the course of the
litigation, and wife No. 1 was found,
with a whole flock of little Greens about
her. Thereupon the Colonel took meas
ures to annual his marriage to wife No. 8,
in which he has succeeded, although lie
has to support her and the children. Tho
Colonel now finds himself supporting two
families, with two women ou his hands
who have borne him legitimate children
and yet wore not legitimr.to wives, and
the legitimate husbaud of a legitimate i
wife who is another man's wife. It is
highly probable that the wealthy New
York brewer is now entirely satisfied w ith
tho marrying business, and will hereafter
dc jto himself simply to beer.

I of November 9 -.the dil igenco of two young
men named Odd 1 and Ingrahami was re- _
warded> by tho discovery of oneMelvin
D; Woodford; a dissipated ' rreiaeht'J'pf
the village, in the act of applying v. torch
to a vacant h?tel. Ho was shot qx and
I wounded while endeavoring to escape.
Subsequently, probably under the fear of
approaching death, he made a full con
fession, from which it appeared that ho
and another dissipated person, of g'o^d
family, were b.it tools iu the hands of
ono William A. Stone, a lawyer f of the
village, about thirty-eight years o/ age
It further appeared that this trio had for
some pears been leaders in an- asi?'dta
tion composed of wealthy , but worthless
young men; that the-members cheifty^oc
cupied themselves iu preparing l.he
ground-work and playuig'nff ^haV'^'ey
called "sells" and practical jokes*iuio<j
Woodford had once occupied the hand
somest mansion in the neighborhood, and
was considered. a rising young man until
iu nu evil moment he wris led ^ into? feiul
society. Stone was a man of still 'Witter
prospects. Ho had received the1 benefit

could have had for desiring to render so

of the Judge in passing sentence,, would
seem to be still in doubt. Now,'., f^J^t
what his object was is quite plain^j ^Hav

like excellent fun to1 have a big blare
and a treinendiou.s scare, and they enter
ed into ? scheme with enthusiasm. Stono
was, probably never sober enough to se
riously consider the consequences of his
crime. If he had been, it is scarcely
possible that he wou'd have willingly run
the risk of ending his days in n State Tri
poli, lie that as it may. his sentence is a
j just one, and it is to be hoped that ^jii*
fate will ssrvo us a warning to the h?n
