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.

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.
