PUIL. SHERIDAX'S IASS.
(From the Chicago Kepubllcan.)
The fwllowlng poem was suggested to the
nuthor by the Inhuman, conduct of is. MisLs
.sippi btenmhoat caputln (Ijcnthers) wlio re
filled to lionor the pass Issued bv 1'hll Sheri
dan to n lady and family who were bereit of
everything by the late lire:
"Say, Cap! there's a girl here below,
A kind of a citified las,
With a con pie o' l:I(!s at horsldeln toK,
And a bogus sort of a pass.
She says she's come from the city of flames
That they call the Queen of the WY-st,
An' she looks like one of your high-born
daincH,
Though she alnt very grandiy dressed.
I half believe she's a lady bred;
An' tellin' the Gospel truth,
rhli. Sheridan signed the pass himself.
An' Its hard when you think of her youth.
I told her I thought you'd take her through,
Though It wasn't in the regular way ;
If you dont, why 1 don't know what she'll
do.
For .she hasn't n dime to pay."
'Go down below, with your mndlln" trash,.
And tell her to pack her s-tufl";
If she wants to ride sho must pass the cash,
Or I'll put her ashore at the blull".
Phil. Sheridan don't write for me;
He did mo a dirty trick.
And if all the North were to drown at sea,
I wouldn't throw 'em iibtlck.
I'm glad to think their time has como
To taste of the scorching blaze.
For I don't forget old Sherman's march
As a thing of by-gone days.
I'll honor no pass from a Yankee cuss,
'"opt it carries the holder to h 1;
So put her ashore, without further fus1,
wnen l give ya u tap of the bell."
"Well, Cap'n. I know your tho boss afloat.
An it alnt for me tosay.
But take your stamps out of that twenty
note.
And let the poor woman stay.
An' I hope when ye Jump on tho hsaven
bound craft.
And tho minister tickets ye through.
That the bos cf the boat, when he comes
abaft.
Won't say that ycr pass won't do."
TELL YOUIl WIPE.
"Tell my wife!" said Anron Little,
speaking aloiul, yet to himself, in a
half amused, half troubled way.
"Tell my wife, indeed ! Much good
that will do ! What does sho know
about business and money matters,
and the tricks of trade? Iso, no;
there's no hope there."
And Aaron Little sat musing with
a perplexed countenance, lie had a
newspaper in his hand, and his eyes
had just been lingering over a para
graph in which the writer suggested
to business men in trouble the propri
ety of consulting their wives :
"Talk to theni fieely about your af
fairs," it said. "Let them under
stand exactly .your condition. Tell
them your difficulties, of your em
La moments, and of your plans of
extracting yourselves from the entan
giemeiils in which you are involved.
.My word for it, you will get help in
nine caes out of ten. Women have
quick perceptions. They reach con
elusion by a nearer way than reaon
inir, and get at the s ilution of a dilli
cult question fong before your slow
moving thoughts bring you near
enough for accurate observation. Tell
1 vour wives, tnen, men in trouble, .all
about 3'our atta-irs"! Eeep -nothing
back. The better they understand
the matter, the clearer will be their
perceptions."
"All a very flno theory," said
Aaron Little, tossing the newspaper
from him, and leaning back in his
chair. "But it won't do in mv case
Tell JJetsy ! Yes, I'd like to see my
self doing it! A man imint bo had
pushed indeed, when he goes home
lo consult his wife on business affairs."
And so Aaron Little disini.-sed the
u'oject. He wa in considerable
doiibtand perplexity of mind. Things
had not gone well with him for a year
past. Dull businesand bad dehts'had
left his affair-, in rather an unprom
ising condition. He could not see his
way clear for the future. Taking
trade as it had been for the past six
months, he could not imagine how,
with the resources at his command,
his maturing payments were to be
made.
"I must get more capital," he said
to him-eif. "That is plain. And
with more capital inu.-t come in a
partner. I don't like partnerships.
It is so difficult for two men to work
together harmoniously. Thou you
may get entangled u itli a rogue. It's
a risky business. But 1 see no other
way out of this trouble. My own
oapit-1 is too light for tho business
I am doing, and as a measure of safe
ty more must be brought in. Law
rence is anxious to join me, and he
says lie can command ten thousand
pounds. I don't like him in all re
spects, he's a little too fond of pleas
ure. But 1 want his money more
than his aid in the business. He
might remain a silent partner if he
ehoe. I'll call and see him thi very
night, and have a little talk on the
subject. If he can bring iu ten thou-
anl pounds, 1 think that will settle
the matter."
With this conclusion in his mind,
Aaron Little returned home, after clo
sing his warehouse for the day. Tin
being over, he made preparation for
going out. with the intention of cal
ling on Mr. Lawrence. As be reach
ed hi- hand for his great coat, a voice
seemed to say to him :
"Tell vour" wife. Talk to hor about
it."
But he rejected the thought instant
ly, and commenced drawing on his
coat.
"Where are you goinc, Aaron?"
asked Mrs. Little, coming forth from
the diuing-room.
"Out for a little while," he replied.
"I'll bo back in half an hour or so."

lo.i've been dull for some time past.
Nothing going wrong with ynu, I
hope?" And his wife laid hor hand
np-m his arm, and leaned towards him
in a kind way.
"Nothing was wrong," he answered
in an evasive manner. "Business has
been dull thi season."
"K.-vsit? I'm sort3. Why didn't
you tell me?" -
"Whatgood wouin mat nave none.
"It might have done a good deal of;
good. When a man's business is dull,
his wife should look, to-the household
expenses ; but if she knows nothing
about it, she may go on in a way that
is really extravagant under the cir
cumstances. I think that men ought
always to tell their wives when any
thing is going wrong."
"Yroudo?"
"Certainly I dt. What better rea
son can you want than the one I have
given? If she knows that the in
come is reduced, as a prudent wife
she will endeavor to reduce the ex
penses. Hadn't you better take off
.yit.i 1.U.1L, jtim aib uown ar.u taut
with me a little, before you- go to see
Mr. Lawrence?"
Mr. Little permitted his wife to
draw off bis overcoat, which she took
into the passage and replaced on the
hat-rack. Then returning into the
parlor, she said :
"Now, Aaron, talk to me as freely
as you choose. Don't keep anything
back. Whatever the trouble is, let
me know it to the full extent."
"Oh, there's no great trouble j'et. I
am only afraid of trouble. I see it
coming, and wish to keep out of its
tt'nv ltotc "
"That's wise and prudent," said his
wife. "Xow tell me why you are go
ing to see Mr. Lawrence."
Mr. Litlle let his eyes fall on the
floor, and sat for some moments in
silence. Then looking up, he said :
"The truth is, Betsy, 1 must have
more capital in my business. There
will be no getting along without it.
Now Mr. Lawrence can command, or
at least says he can command, ten

"Are you going to Bee him on that

'I was ?"
"Don't do it," said Mrs. Little, em
phatically. "Why not?" asked Aaron.
"Because he isn't the man for you

pounds."
"Because Is

no. reason," replied"
"The extravagance of his wife is,"
was answered lirmly.
"What do you know about her?"
"Only what I have seen. I have
called on her two or throe times, and
have noticed the st3'le in which her
house is furnished. It is arrayed iu
palace attire compared with ours.
And as for dress, it would take the
interest of a little fortune to pay her
milliner's and mantuamaker's bill.
Xo, no, Aaron, Mr. Lawrence isn't
your man, depend on it. He'd use
up the ten thousand pounds in less
than two years,"
"WelllU'tsy, that's pretty clear
talk," said Mr. Litt'e, taking a long
breath. "I'm rather afraid, after
what you say, that Mr. Lawrence is
not my man. But what am I to do?"
and his voice fell into a troubled tone.
"I must have moie capital, or ."
Mr. Littlo paused.
"Or what?" His wife looked at
him steadily, and without any signs
of weak anxie'ty.
"Or I may become-bankrupt.!1 '
."I'mebrr.yk to. hearlyoraisaytthat
Aaron," and Mrs. Little's voice trem
bled preceptibly. "But I'm giad
you've told me. The new'parlor car
pet, of course, I shall not order."
"Oh, as to that, the amount it will
cost can make no great difference,"
said Mr. Little. "The parlor does
look shabby, and I know you've set
your heart on a new carpet."
"Indeed, and it will make a differ
ence then," replied the little woman
in her decieded way. "The last
feather breaks tho camel's back.
Aaron Little shall never fail because
of his wife's extravagance, I wouldn't
have a new carpet now if it it were
offered to me at half price."
"You are a brave, true woman,
Betsey," 'aid Aaron, kissing his wife,
in the glow of a new-born feeling of
admiration.
"I h.ipe that I shall ever be a true,
brave wife," returned Mrs. Little,
"willing always to help my husband,
either in saving or earning, as the
case may be. But let Ua talk more
about your affairs ; let mo see the
trouble nearer. Must 3011 have ten
thousand pounds right away?"
"Oh, no, no; it is not so bad as
that. I was only looking ahead, and
seeking to provide the means for ap
proaching payments. I don't want a
partner so far as the business itself is
concert. ed. I don't like partnerships;
they are almost always accompanied
with annoyances or danger. It was
the money I was after, not the man."
"The money would come dearly at
the prioe of the man. if you took Mr.
Lawrence for a paitner. At least
that is my opinion. But I am glad
to hear you bay, Aaron, that you are
in no immediate danger. May not
tho storm bo weathered by reeling
-ail, as tho sai lirs say ?"
"By reducing expenses?"
"Yes."
Mr. Little shook his head.
"Don't
ny no too quick," replied
"Let .us go over the whole
the wife.
matter at home and at the store. Sup
pose one ortwo thousand pounds were
saved in the year, what difference
would that make?"
"Oh, if that were possible, which it
is not, it would make avast difference
in the long run, but would hnrdty
meet the difficulties that are ap
proaching." "Suppose you had five hundred
pounds within the next two monihs,
be3ond what vour busiues y.'ill give
you?"
"That sum would make me safe for
the two months. But where is the
five hundred pounds to come from,
Betsey ? '
"Desperate diseases require desper
ate remedies." replied the brave little
woman in a resolute W113. "I m uot
afraid of the red tlag."
"What do you mean bv the red
flag?"
"Let us sell off our furniture at
auction, and put the money in your
business. It won't bring less than
five hundred pounds; and it ina
bring more. My piano alone is worth
nearly a. hundred. We can boaid for
a 3oaV or two, and when 3ou get all
right again, return to housekeeping."
"Wo won't try tiiat yet, Betsy,"
said Mr. Little.
"But something must he done. The
disease is threatening, and my first
prescription will arrest its violence. 1
have sometmng more to propose. 11
conies into my mind this inntnnt;
after breaking up we will go to moth
er's. Y'ou know she never wanted us
to leave there. It won't cost us much
over half what it does now, taking
rent into the account. We will pay
sifter Annie something to take the
care of iittie Eddie acd Liz.ie through
the day, and I will g intoyour ware
house as chief clerk.,'"
"Botsv! vou're cr.izy."
"Not a bit of it, ..aron, but a sensi
ble woman, as yu will find before
you're a year'oFier, if you'll let me
"have mv wav..l don't like that Hob
ton, and uevii'did, as you know. I
don't believe he's a fair man. Let
me take his place, and you will make
a clear three hundred pounds a year;
and, mavbe, as much more."
"I can't think of it, Betsey. Let
us wait awhile."
"You must think of it, and we
won't wait awhile," replied the reso
lute wife. "What is right to bo done
is best done quickly. Is there not
safety in my plan ?"
"Yes, I think there is ; but"
"Then let us adopt it at once, and
throw all huts overboart, or," and
she looked at him a little mischiev
ously, "perhaps you would rather
have some talk with Mr. Lawrence
first?"
"Hang Mr. Lawrence!" ejaculated
Aaron Little.
"Very well ; there being no help in
Mr. Lawrence, we will go to work to
help ourselves, fcelf help, I've heard
it said, is always the best help, and
most to be depended on. We may
know ourselves and t:...c elves:
and that is a great dorl more i we
can say about other people. .nen
shall we have the sale?"
"Not so fast, Betsy, not so fast. I
haven't agreed to the sale yet. That
would be to make a certain loss. Fur
niture sold at auction never realizes
above half its cost."
"It would be a certain gain, Aaron,
if it saved you from bankruptcy,
with which, as I understand it, you
are threatened."
"I think," said Aaron, "we may
act on without that. I like the idea
of your coming into my warehouse
and taking Hobson's place. All tho
money Irom retail sales passes tnrougn
his hands, and he has it in his power,
if not honest, to rob me seriously.
I've not felt altogether easy in regard
to him of late. Why, 1 can hardly
tell. I've seen nothing wrong. But
if you take his place, three hundred
pounds will be saved certainiy."
"But if I have my house to keep,"
Mrs. Little answered to this, "how
can I help you at the warehouse?
The first thing in order is to get the
house off" my hands."
"Don't you think that Annie could
be induced to come and live with us
for a few mouths, until we try tin's
new experiment?"
"But the money, Aaron ; the mon
ey this furniture would bring! That's
what I am looking after. Y'ou want
money now."
"Very true."
"Then let us hang out the red flag.
Half way measuies may only ruin
everything. I know that mother
will not let Annie leave home, so its
no use to think of it. Tho red flag,
Aaron the red flag! Depend upon
it, that's the first right thing to be
done. Five or six hundred pounds in
hand will make you feol like another
person give your courage, confidence
and energy."
"Y'ou may be right, Betsey; but I
can't bear the thought of running
out that red flag, of which' you talk
so lightly."
"Shall I say coward? Are you
afraid to do what common prudence
,tells yqu is right?" v
" was atraiu. Betsey ; but am no.
ildriger- faiiit'h'ehrt'ed. With suchi'
brave little wife as you to stand b.y
my side, I need not fear the world."
In u week from that day the re.d
flag was hung out. When the auc
tioneer made up his accounts, he had
in hand a little over eight hundred
pounds, for which a cluck was filled i
out to the order of Aaron Litlle. It 1
came into his hands just at the right
moment, and made him feel, to use
his own words, "as eas as an old
shoe." One week later Mra. Betsy
Little 300k tho place of Mr. Ilobsou,
as chief manager and cash receiver in
her husband's warehouse. There
were some few signs of rebellion
among the clerks and shop-girls at
the beginning, ; but Mrs. Betsy had
a quick, steaity eye, aud a ?'df-re!iant
manner, that caused her presence to
be felt, aud soon made everything
subservient to her will. It was a re
markable fact, that at the end of the
first wee!: of her administration of
affairs, the cash receipts wore over
thirty pounds in excess of the re
ceipts of aity week within the pre
vious three months.
"Have we done more business than
usual this week?" she asked of one
clerk and another; aud the uniform
answer was, "No."
"Then," said the lady to herielf,
"there's been foul phry here. No
wonder 1113 husband was in trouble."
At the end of the next week the
sales came up to the same average,
and at the end ol the third week
were forty pounds better than before
Mrs. Little undertook to manage the
retail department. Whether there
had been "foul pla3" or not, Aaron
Littlo could never fully determine;
one no wns in no doubt as to one
thing, and that wns the easy condi
tion of the 11101103 market after the
lapse of half a year.
For four or five months previous to
Mrs. Little's administration of affairs,
he was on the street nearly half of
his time during business hours, en
gaged in the work of monc3-raising ;
now his regular receipts had got in
advance of his pn-monts, 30 that his
balance on tho morning of each day
was usualry in exce-s of the notes to
be lifted. Of course he could give
more attention to business, and of
course business increased and grew
more profitable under the Improved
system. Ity- the end of the year, to
use hisown words, he was "all right."
Not so a neighbor of his, who, to get
more capital, had takesi Mr. Law
rence as a partner. Instead of bring
ing in ton thousand pounds. Mud.
"capitalist'' was only able to put down
three thousand ; and before the end
of the year he had drawn out six or
seven thou-and, aud had given notes
of the firm for as much more in pay
ment of old obligations. A failure of
the house followed as an inevitable
result.
When the fact of the failure, and
the
cause which led to it, baoame

with a shrug :
"I'm sorry for Ti ; but he should
have told his wife."
"Of what?" asked tho person to
whom he addressed the remark.
"Of his want of more capital and
intention to make a partner of Law
rence." " Whatgood would that have done?"
"It might have saved him from
ruin, as it did me."
"Y'ou are mysterious, Little."
