THE HERALD. Tfct Autobiography of a ShveMaek. (From the New York World. I am eleven years old. Z iras born in Cherry street. I've got a filter; she's thirteen; she's washing. I've got a step-father; he won't keep mo 'cause I could not make any mon ey for him. When my right father was alire T went to school in Franklin street, and when he died I stayed down at the ITe wnboys' Lodg ; ther gi re me a black ing box and I went out to black bonis. That was about three years ago. Pre been blacking boots erer since. I clean about six or seven pairs a day ; that's a good day's work that's 35 cents. Sometimes I don't hare more than four or five jobs. I go out at 7:30 in the morning and stop at six. When I get through I go to the Lodge and sleep at 7 :30. It costs 18 cents for supper, lodging and breakfast. They give coffee, half a loaf of bread aud beefsteak for supper. For break fast we get the same. We hare good iron beds, and must Ktt up al 5, sounthn w wacin sleep till 6. If we are sick we must go out any how. bny clothes sometimes at the Lodge; we get a go 1 shirt for 25 cents or 33 cents ; a pair of shoes for 50 cents, a coat $1.50, pants 60 cents. I don't know what it costs for an overcoat ; I never had one. The most jobs I erer bare is seven or eight a day. When I gets much I put it away in the boys' sarings bank in the Lxlg and keep it there a month and then bur clothes with it. I hare got 15 cents put away; not in the bank ; I gire it to a m in in a liqu r store to keep; you can't put nothing in the bank unless you get a qutrter. Some boys has got cus.orners, they make $1.05 and 91.10. Sometimes the fellers I shine tries to bilk me and won't pay. but I m.tke them by putting mud over their shoes again. If they don't pay then I let'em go on ; their shoes'll be dirty the sam j way as it was. I'd rather black boots than sell pa pers. You only make alnjut 15 cents the whole day selling papers. toDo you think you will black bo .its all your life?" the b-jy was asked. Yes, sir. If I get any other job to do I'll 'do it. If I get plenty of work I wouldn't want any other job. If I had twelve pairs of boots a day that is 60 cents that's all I want. Tfrsng I4eas From a Chromo. We are obliged to the New Century Art Publication company for one of their exquisite chromos. but we feel compelled to return it with the request that they send us some less elaborate Study in its stead. Tins picture, "Au tumn Scenes on Americau Farms," is beautiful enough, the atmosphere is marked with a rare transparency, lilt foreground is a marvelous copy of na ture, the perspective is perfect, the high lisjht. middle tint and background are all good, the drawing is accurate, and the coloring delicate and natural, and we will say the other things about it when the company sends us th oili er art slau?. But we cannot han it up in our house. We hare a sou. who will m ail probability be raised in the city, and we cannot, withouc doing vi olence to the feelings of a father, permit the hope and staff of our declining years to grow up, and by constant study of that picture, fall into the belief that American farmers in tight boots and claw-hammer coats, and their wires and daughters in princesse dresses and valenciennes lace and kid slippers, go out in the autumn with a pairof blood- i i i t. t . .. i eu nurses miu a uitsneu piiiteiuu nun gather blood red and golden yellow ap ples off the same spreading, gnar'ed and ragged oak tree, glowing in all the flaming splendor of the autumnal glo rified maple. Take back your picture, gire us a David and Goliath, with green grass and red blood. Don't put in much grass, but pile on the blood. Ex. This puts us in mind of the beautiful pictures on mowing and reaper ra t chlnes blooded horses going through perfect grain CelJs on a spanking trot, with "high heads a:id rolling tails." The drirer smiling at the girls in the farm house door, by the off horse's shoulder. They never put in the flies on the horses, the wet au I down grain, ths knife all tangled up. the sore sh oul ders and blistered hands of horses and men. Why should they, thongh? What's a picture for but t present the pretty side of ousineea, the reality we get every day. Twenty-two hundred miles seems a long distance io transport iresn u n. and yet the feat has been accomplished, and the meat received in as good con dition as that which is slaughtered at Brighton. The arrangements for such transportation have but recen.ly been perfected, and to-day Boston is receiv ing fresh beef slaughtered at Los Ana mos. Colorado. On Monday there ar rived in this city one of the Tiffany re frigerator car company's cars in which th6re were thirty-five dressed cattle, and yesterday this meat was taken into the commission house ot Hyde, Wheel er &Co No. 41 North Market street. On its arrival it was found to be in jnst as Bound and clean a condition as when it left Los Anaraos fifteen days ago, and the fact of its condition being compared with beef received at the -same time from Brighton, and found to be superior, demonstrates the perfect keeping qualities of the Tiffany refrig erator car. The company operating these cars have . as their agent Mr. Charles F. Barrett, a gentleman who thoronghly understands the transpor tation of dressed cattle, and through him. great care is taken of the cars .while en route. When ths car left Los Anamos'it was veil filled with ice, and while en routed it was re-iced at Kansas Ci'y end t Cbc7o. From thrl fitter city it came through to Boston, and on its arrival there was a good sjpply oi ice left. Messrs Hyde, Wheeler & Co are now receiving 150 dressed western cat tle in these cars per week, all which are quickly di?posed of, and at prices lower than that of Brigh.on beef. The car was on the road just fourteen days, ntid the quick transit is due o the en terprise of the managers of the Atch ison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which is now sending over its road to Chicago fifty Tiffany refrigerator cars perweek. Littell's Living Age for 1878. The success of this sterling periodical is owing to the f.ict that it en ib'eaone. with a small outlay of time and money, to keep pace with the best thought and literature of the day Hence i s importance to every American reader. The ablest living contributors to periodical literature are represented in its pages, some of whose nam-s will be found in the prospectus published in another column. It has al way 3 stood at the head of of its class, both in the quality and quan.ity of the reading furnished; and in fact it affords, of itself, so thorough and complete a compendium of what is of immediate interest or erm uient value in the literary world as to render it an invaluable economizer of ;ime. labor and money In the multLud of periodicals of the presant time,-quar-terlies, monthlies and weeklies,-such a publication has become almost a necessity to every person or family desiring to keep well informed in the best literature of the day. For 1878, an extra offer is made to all new subscribers; and reduced clu -ing rates with other periodicals are also given by which a subscriler may at remarkable small cost obtain the cream of both home and forreign litea ature. Those selecting their periodicals for the new year, would do well to ex amine the prospectus. In no other way that we know of can a subscriber be put in possession of the bes. which the current literature of the world af fords, so cheaply or conveniently. 100,000 Copies of St. Nicholas.

Scrlbners rlonthlj For lS77-'8. Vith.ut recalling the excellence of the past, the publishers of Scrihner's j Monthly anuonuee, fortheyear tucouic the fo lowing paiers: The Picturesque side .of Amerimii Farm Life. This subject wi;l be treat ed in a series of separate papers en H.ti'ed from writers who staiui in the front rank among Americans, both in qualities of style and in keen insis t of nature. Mr. It. E. Kobiusou, au thor of a delightful papei on Fx Hunting in New England' in he Jan uary number, will represent the same section in this series. John Burroughs, whose papers on similar topics have been a highly prized and popular fea ture of Scribner w ill write of Farm Life in New York. Maurice Thom son, the poet-naturalist, will defcrile the characteris ics of Western farming of which but little has Iteen wriiten. It is expectt'd that the illustration of this series w ill le of a refined and ty pical character, coinmeiisure with the suhject mat er. I: is thought -hat no paer or series of papers yei issued in Scribner will so fully rea.ize the con stan; desire of the magazine to keep out of lh" ruts, and, both in text and idustrations, to obtain qua it v rather than quanti.y, and .o print fresh, strong and tlelicaie work from origi nal sources.
