3TEW YEAR'S BELLS.
Ring, bells, ring, -with yonr mellow din.
Ring the old year out and the new year in !
Like the voices or birds from the old gray
spire.
Let yonr silvery music rise higher and higher;
Floating abroad o'er the hillside bare
In billows of sound on the tremulous air.
Let us rise and fall with thefltfnl gale:
Tell over city and wood the tale;
Say that to-night the old year dies!
Bid the watchers look to the eastern skies,
For the beautiful halo that tells afar
Of the welcome rise of the new year's star !
Rlngtheoldyearont,withItssIghsand.tears
Its withering heart-aches and tiresome fears;
Away with its memories of doubt and wrong,
Its cold deceits and Its envylngs strong,
All Its pandering lures to the faltering sense,
All its pitiful shams and cold pretense.
We will heap them together and bind them
fast
To the old man's load as be totters past.
The ills that he brought he may take again;
Keep we the joys, let him bury the pain !
Ring soft, oh bells, as he goes to rest
Far in the shades of the darkening west!
Ring, bells, ring, with a merry din !
The old year has gone with Its care and sin ;
Smiling and fair, at the eastern gates.
Clad in tinted light, the new year waits!
"Welcome him in with the rosy band.
Who wait the wave of his beckoning hand :
Ifope, with her wreaths of sweetsprlng Jlow-
ers,
Joy for the summer's glowing hours,
Plenty and peace for the fruitful fall,
And love for all seasons best of all.
Ring merrily, belis.'-o'er the blushing skies
eee the beutiful star of the new year rise!
From the Aldinefor December.
THE TWO GAMBLERS.
Dan Koadsmith was a falrspeclmen
of the Mississippi gambler of fifteen
years ago. Ho was a great, powerful
fellow, equally skilled in the use of
knife, pistol, or nature's weapons a
famous duelist as well as a gambler.
He was. one of the gamblers of the
river steamboats second class gam
blers were nowhere when he was
around. He was a." bully as well as
the rest, and men who knew him
shrunk from the glance of his bar
barian eyes.
His only occupation was that of
gambling, and many a time he went
up and down the river in its steam
boats. He rarely played with profes-
sionable gamblers ; It was his way to
pick out runaway "green-horns,"
and take their money away by fair
means or foul.
Men who knew him dared not in
terfere when they saw him proceed
ing to the gambling table arm-in-arm
with an honest farmer or countryfied
youth. They had seen men Interfere
with him once or twice, and the re
sult was not such as to encourage a
repetition of the performance.
I knew the man by sight for sever
al years. Business affairs made it
necessary for me to go to New Orleans
and back to St. Louis every week. I
hated and despised Roadsmith ; but
at the same time I despised the folly
of the men who were foolish enough
to fall into his clutches, quite asmucb.
My New England education led me
to abhor gambling iu every form, and
I could feel little pity for the man
who was fleeced by blacklegs.
One day I took passage in the "Mis
sissippi Queen," Captain Jack Wal
ters, bound up the river.
With all my 'abhorrence for gam
bling, I always found it interesting
to watch the progress of the games,
especially when something out of the
usual line occurred. Shooting affrays
were common occurrences I don't
mean them: but Incidents Mnnfnrofi
with romance or tragedy.
So when the "Queen" started on
her up trip, I sauntered into the main
saloon, certain that I should find
gambling in full blast.
I was not mistaken, Men were
rushing to and fro, anxious to secure
places at the tables, the "rough" jost
ling the inexperienced traveler un-l
mercifully.
Mr. Dan Roadsmith stood apart
from the rest, stroking his ample
beard thoughtfully. He would have
passed for a Wall street broker with
the uninitiated, but those experienced
In "the ways that are dark and the
tricks that are vain,'' would have
summed him up in one word, and
that word would have been "flash."
And that word, with them, would
have told Mr. Roadsmith 's story.
Perhaps they would not have ven
tured to pronounce on the precise line
of business whioh received his sub
lime attention, but they could have
told you that there wa3 not an ounce
of respectability abont him.
x saw mat the scoundrel meant
business, and looked around to see
whom ho had marked as a victim.
His own glance told the story. In
one corner of tha room stood a young
man of perhaps twenty years. He
was small and even effeminate in
form, with black hair and eyes, a
white, smooth face, only the upper
lip being covered with a "slight show
of htrsuit manhood," as someone has
said. He was well dressed, with a
glittering diamond on his breast, and
would have passed as the favorite son
of a wealthy planter.
This idea would have received con
firmation when one beheld the stout
African who stood near the youth.
The African was plainly the servant
of the young man, and when it came
to band to hand conflict the latter
could not have had a better protector,
lor tde slave was a giant. Looking
at his magnificent proportions and
unusually intelligent face, I could not
but hope that he would not stand
tamely by and see his master plucked,
for I knew it was impossible for him
to be so quiok on the trigger as the
veteran gambler, and it seemed a pity
lor mm to oe slain.
Master looked on the strange scene
with curiosity and interest; slave
with a face that told nothing of his
Inward thoughts and emotions.
Roadsmith bided his time. He
sauntered around the room with a
dignified step,
Finally he paused before the youth
and entered into conversation with
him. I drew near and listened.
The young man was reserved and
timid at first, but the bland and geni
al manners of the gambler soon put
him at his ease.
Roadsmith informedrhim his name
was jjjacKDurn, ana tnat ne was a
man stated his name was Owens, and
that he was the son of a planter in
Georgia.
So the ex-merchant and the plant
er's son soon became good friends,
and were mutually interested in each
other.
After a time Roadsmith invited his
victim to play a game of poker. The
young man aeciareu tnat ne was ig
norant of the mi'sterles of the game,
but expressed his willingness to play
a few games of euchre.
So they seated themselves at the
table and commenced to play. At
the suggestion of the ex-merchant
small stakes were put up. The gam
bler won with ease, though I saw he
did not intend to do so. Then young
Owens won several games, and after
each defeat the gentleman from Sa
Vnnnah insisted on increasing the
stakes.
Moloch, the African, stood like a
statute behind his master's chair, his
face as stoical as that of an Indian.
The player's fortunes fluctuated.
Then Roadsmith began to rake in his
epponent's pile, and the bj'standers
looked at enoh other significantly.
Roadsmith's face was bland; Ow
en's calm and firm.
I watched the gambler closely. At
length he slipped a ten spot into his
sleeve, and took a "bower" from his
boot to make Its place good, thereby
winning the stakes.
The African left his master's chair
and disappeared. Five minutes later
he quietly made his appearance be
hind that of Roadsmith.
The gambler tired of hia child's
play, and finding Owens as good a
player as himself, if not his supprior,
he began cheating furiously. In spite
of this ho barely held his own, and
before long his money began to move
slowly but surely towards his oppo
nent. Every one was astonished. How
could Owens win against all this
cheating? I looked again at the
youth, and his pale, calm, but effem
inate face seemed to possess new power.
I watched his play and made the
astonisning discovery that he was
cheating as bravely as Roadsmith,
and with far more deftness. I could
hardly suppress a shout. Dan Road
smith had caught a Tartar! But
when I remembered that the gambler
would not hesitate to shoot his oppo
nent dead, I gave the mysterious
youth up as lost. I thoughtof warn
ing him, but something seemed to
tell me to wait and see the end.
The blackleg fclost steadily, He
tried every trick known to the pro
fessional gambler, but still Owens
won steadily. The self-styled merch
ant grew red in the face, but the
planter's son as cool as ever.
"Hang it all!" said the ruffian, at
last, "who the devil are you, anyhow?
You play like a veteran. Either you
are the evil one himself, or vou are
i . i
cheating."
"I never cheat when playing with
gentlemen," replied the young gam
bler, calmly.
Some of the men winked at each
other they saw a double meaning In
the words.
The game progressed. Roadsmith
grew desperate. Immense stakes
were put up, and either the game
"broke" the gambler, or set him on
his feet again that was certain.
Owens and Roadsmith each won
one "trick," and the gambler looked
apprehensively at the cards in his
hand. He held the king and ten-spot
of trumps, with one worthless card.
This latter with the ten-spot he thrust
into his sleeve, drawing tho "ace"
and "left bower" from his boot.
"I reckon them'll take tho rest,"
ne said, throwing the cards on the
table.
"Not exactly," replied Owens,
calmly laying down his cards.
There, upturned, were both bowers
and the ace of trumps.
For a moment there was a dead sl-
lence.every onegazing In stupefaction
at this deluge of trumps. Then
Roadsmith recovered his presence of
mind, and making a sweep towards
the pile of gold, cried,
"Cheat!"
"Scoundrel !" retorted Owens,
brushing the pile of money from un
der the big hand of the gambler like
flash.
Roadsmith drew a pistol,, with a
howl of rage, and in another moment
it wa3 leveled at Owens.
Before he could fire, however, Mo
loch seized his hand in an iron grasp,
holding him fast.
To attempt to describe the scene
that followed would be useless.
Roadsmith was frantic; Owens as
cool as ever.
Tho remarkable young man ox
pressed his willingness to givo the
blackleg satisfaction In fair combat ;
so it was decided that they should
fight a duel with pistols.
The dissimilarity between the com
battants was remarkable ; still Owens
was far calmer than his adversary,
and that was a great point.
The men stood face to face.
"Mr. Roadsmith," said Owens,
calmly, "I am going to shoot you
through'the lungs, as you did Lionel
by the ruffian's bullet from his mas
ter's head.
They were seen no mora on the
steamboat. The gamblor died in
great agony, and when Owens was
sought for he was gone. They prob
ably slipped overboard unobserved ;
but be that as it may, the young slay
er was never brought to justice.
Two years afterwards I met Moloch
Iii the streets of Sanfrancisco. He
recognized me, and without being
questioned gave me the astonishing
information that young Owens was a
woman, and the sister of that Lionel
Vavasour, a boy of eighteen, whom
Roadsmith had killed, only the quar
rel was forced upon Lionel, a worthy
young man. Moloch refused to tell
me the real name of Vavasour's sister,
and I never saw either of them from
thai time.
A PARMER'S BOY.
A ROMANCE IX REAL LIFE.
A short time ago a young man,
about twenty years of age, arrived at
Baltimore from Eugland, and com
menced to look for work at his trade.
After several days' fruitless search,
the Gazetie S3ys he entered a large
factory on Lombard street and inquir
ed for work of fche superintendent.
Tho latter questioned him, asking
him his name and where he was from,
and other particulars about the fami
ly. He told the superintendent that
his mother resided in England and
had reared him, his father having
quarrelled with her when ho was an
infant and had abandoned them, and
It was supposed that he had come to
America, but no tidings had been re
ceived from him. When the young
man had concluded the superintend
ent, who, for many years, has been
employed by the firm with whom he
is at present engaged, said to the as
tonished youth, "I am your father."
They discussed family matters at
leng'th, and the father, hearing from
his son that his mother had never
ceased to mourn their unfortunate dif
ference and his absence, determined
to proceed at once to Europe and
briug her to this country and endeav
or in tho future years to atone for the
mistakes and errors of the past. He
secured employment for his son, and
obtaining the necessary leave of ab
sence from his employers, he sailed
last week for England, intending to
bring back with him on his return
the wife from whom he has been so
long separated.
Over fifty years ago a youth work
ing on a farm asked his father to give
him money enough to buy a gun. The
old man could not spare it; but the
boy, nothing daunted, found an old
piece of iron about the place, and in
the course of time contrived to make
a gun-barrel ollt of it, with the very
meager facilities afforded by a country
blacksmith's shop. He had not the
materials to make a look and stock, so
he walked to the nearest town and
traded for the necessary attachments,
and was encouraged by the smith for
havinir made so cood a shooer This
gave him the ambition to make an
other; so he went to cutting out
grindstones from the native rock to
raise tho money for gun materials,
and in a short time there wa8 a con
siderable demand for guns of his
make. During the French war with
Prussia he was called upon to furnish
guns for the army, ami in less than
eight months he made and delivered
to the government of France rifles of
a particular pattern, costing $5,000,000
which amount was duly paid. The
same man furnishes rifles now for the
United States, South America, Rome,
Spain, Egypt, and Japan. The farm
er's boy who wanted a gun is Elipha
let Remington, of Ilion, N. Y. His
nianufactoiy covers four acres of
ground, and he employs i.iiUU men.
Not satisfied with this achievement,
ho has recently completed a sewing
machine, which Is reported td repre
sent the latest and mot perfect ad
vance in the improvement of this im
portant adjunct of domestic economy.
Tin's is the type of a boy who, when
there is not a way, makes a way for
himself.

The blackleg started,, but retorted

"Go to you room," said one of the

We understand, on good authority,
that a change will soon take place in
the management of the State Lunatic
Asylum, Dr. C. F. Stewart, the able
and efficient Superintendent of the
Institution for two years past, having
reached the inflexible purpose to re
sign his position.
The reasons for this course are not
yet made public, although his separa
tion from his family and forced neg
lect of his farming interests in Nema
ha county are good and satisfactory
reasons for the step. The Doctor is
one peculiarly fitted to manage and
control insane patients, and during
nisauministrationthestraight jackets

ished, he finding no difficulty in qul
atingand controlling the worst cases
by his personal magnetism and supe
rior force of will. There are few men
in the profession who oan fully take
and discharge the duties of Superin
tendent of the Insane Asvlum and
give such perfect satisfaction as has
Dr. Stewart. His proposed withdraw

ot sinec-re regret to the people of the

Is a fact, and tho men are living to
day, one a successful farmer, with
plenty of money to use and loan, the
other an example of the worst effects
of the opposite system.
This one instance alone is sufficient
to "point a moral." It should teach
a lesson to every man engaged in the
pursuitof agriculture. To be constant
ly buying farm-tools is more than a
farmer can afford. Implements are
expensive, and they should be made
to last by being cared for. Every far
mer should have a tool-house, and
when a tool is not in use it should
stand or hang in Its place. A careful
inventory of such tools occasionally
would do much towards keeping
them in their place and in good re
pair. Industry, economy and system
will be of as much service to farmers
as to any other class. Cor. 2v". Y. Tribune.

Apples. The frequent use" of ap
ples, either before or after meals, has a
most healthful effect upon digestion
better eat less meat and more fruit.
An eminent French physician says
the decrease of dj'spepsia and bilious
affections in Pari3 is owing to the in
creased consumption of apples, which
fruit he maintains i3 an admirable
prophylactic and tonic, as a very
nourishing and easily digested article
of food. The Parisians are said to de
vour one hundred millions of apples
every winter that Is, they did before
the war. Whether this estimate is
true or not, nevertheless the French
are extravagantly fond of apples and
other fruit.
How to Make Apple Dumplings.
This is our plan, and they are deli
cious : First procure good, sour ap
ples, pare and core, leaving them in
halves. Get all your ingredients, su
gar, soda, sour milk, lard, salt, flour
and apples. Now make a dough as
for soda biscuits, only adding a little
more lard to make it shorter. Take
a bit of dough out of the kneadinf
board, and after kneading, roll thlsas
for pie-crust. Then cut in pieces long
enough to cover an apple, or allowing
for lapping the edges. Put In two of
your apple halves, sweeten according
to taste, and cover apple and sugar
with dough. Lay the dumplings in
3'our bread-pan, the smooth side up,
first having your pan well buttered.
Proceed in this manner until you cet
your pan well filled, be sure it Is a
large sized pan then place a small
bit of butter on the fop of each dump
ling, sprinkle a handful of sugar over
all, then place in a moderate oven and
allow them to bake an hour. Serve
not to hot, with pudding sauceorwith
cream and sugar. Cincinnati Gazette.

HOW TO CLIMB TREES.
Somebody, who probably knows,
says: In South Amerioa even the
weakest may be not uncommonly
seen picking the fruit at the very tree
top. If the bark is so smooth and
slippery that they cannot climb they
use ocuer means. They make a hoop
of wild vines, and putting their feet
in&ide theV .UPfi it na n enrmnrf Jr.
climbing. The negro of the west
coast of Africa makes a larger hoop
around the trees, and getsjuside of it
and jerks It up the trunk with his
hands a little at a time, drawinc his
legB up after him. The Tahitaian
boys tie their feet together, four or
five inches apart, with a piece of
palm bark, and with the aid of this
fetter go up the cocoa palms to gather
nuts. The native women in Austral
ia climb the gam trees after onossums.
Where the bark is rough they chop
holes with a hatchet.; then one
throws about the tree a rope twice as
long as will go round it, puts her
Hatchet on her head, and plac
ing her feet against the tree- aud
grasping the rope with her hands, she
hitches it up by jerks, and pulls her
self up tbe enormous tree almost as
a man oan climb a ladder.
