No man, says the Golden Hide, ex
pects to go to a good concert or a good

it. But when yon come to religious
services a great "many people attending
the same feel no responsibility in paj-ing
the expenses. The singing must be
artistic, the preaching pleasing and in
structive, the temperature of the house
of worship delightful, or those who arc
responsible will be made to feel their
neglect of duty. But when the baskets
come round for the offering, the ma
jority of the hearers look insulted, or
insult the service by dropping in a three
cent piece. We believe in the gospel to"
the poor, but we do not believe in a re
ligious service for several hundred peo

Yeing America aid the Mayer.
The Providence (R. I.) Joitrual tells
the following story of young America
and the Mayor, which brings to mind
the persistent youths of Boston who a
century ago waited upon a British officer
and complained that his troops had de
stroyed their snow forts upon the com
mon: "A few days ago," says the
Journal, " as the clerk of Mayor Doyle
was writing at his doss, he detected the
movement of some person near the
wicket gate leading into the Mayor's
private apartment. Glancing over the
gate he caught a glimpse of a youngster
just tall enough to protrude his trost
tipped nose over the rail. Is the Mayor
in?' inquired the caller, with manly in
dependence of tone. Yes, sir,' replied
the clerk. 'Well, send. him to me,'
ordered young America; I want to talk
with him.' In secret amusement the
clerk informed Mayor Doyle that a vis
itor was awaiting him. The Mayor an
proached the rail, and leaning over
asked the boy what he could do for him.
I want you to order those men up on
my street to stop shoveling snow on mv
slide, said he 'cause they have about
spoilt it, and there is no need of their
doing it anyhow.' Tho:e men are in
the employ of the cityi' said the Mayor,
and must keep the gutter clear in order
to allow the water to find the sewer
opening.' Well,' Teluctantly replied
the disappointed lad, L suppose Lean't
help myself , but I did have some stav
ing old slides there, and now they have

withdrew in sorrow."

The following is an extract from Mr.
Henry King's "Ovr Sunday In Scw
Sharoni" in the March Scribnen
Incredible, too, as it may sound, there
were religious services in New Sharon
that admirable forenoon, in an unplas
tcred room over a bowling-alley, where
wo found a congregation of at least a
hundred persons; and there were a
choir ana cottage-organ, and uhers
showed Us to feats when we entered. II
looked a trifle out of form, even in New
Sharon, to see a woman at church in a
low-necked and short-sleeved crimson
gown; but she seemed to be unaware
of it. I diverted my fancy by likening
her I scarcely know why to thoe
women of olden, prophetic time, who
"went out with timbrels and dances;"
and that other one who sat near her,
dressed in white, her hair in a braid
down her back, and her fingers nerv
ously twirling, as though they held un
seen Castanet was not she a typical
daughter of Babylon? I dared have
been sworn I saw Desdemona there,
also and lago darting maldvdlehi
glances at her frtyra across the
aisle, the scoundrel! But Othello
was absent. I noticed Bob Roy pres
ent, however several Rob Roys", I may
say booted and spurred in authentic
fashion. For special wonder, too,
walked in Werther, and stood with
arms folded, spying pensively about for
some random and sighing "Charlotte
Ami we had not been men at least, not
men of taste had we omitted to observe
the violet-eyed miss with the curls and
the silver-filigree jewelry, who sang
soprano in the choir, and sang so charm
ingly well ; for surely that face of hers,
those lips, those cheeks, compelled
many a sttnnel, bankrupted many a
heart, away back yonder in the time of
Petrarch; only New Sharon was not
much of a market for sonnets, nor did
hearts break there with facility, I am
inclined to think.
The minister read for the morning
lesson, and for his text :is well, the para
ble of the Prodigal Son. " He's going
for 'em," Eastman whispered, and we
sat anticipating an old-fashioned speech
for the prosecution. To our surprise,
not to mention our relief, we heard
nothing of the kind. The sermon, I am
bound to say, was original, good-tempered,
and strikingly effective. If the
speaker sketched the riotous part
of the Prodigal's career rather
freely and floridly "as if he
knew how it was himself," Eastman
suggested and touched the husks and
swine, the grief and repentance, in a
sparing anil subordinate way, he but
choj-e the method which Debufe pursues,
you remember, in that familiar picture
of the same story ; and he did not fail,
as I think Dubufe does, to convey, some
how, a very distinct and serviceable im
pression that a life of wickedness is bad
policy, at least. Likely he knew such
to be his best way to reach his audience.
Certainly he interested them and held
their attention past a sigh of flagging. 1
shall never forget how perfectly quiet
they were, and how generally they
leaned forward to listen, as he passed
the strict letter of the parable and, leav
ing the father busy about the feast,
went on to speak of the returned wan
de'rer's suppositions and waiting mother
" We all have mothers, somewhere,"
he softly remarked and to depict the
homely, tender, caressing mood in
which ihe dear wintry-haired and t it
tering old woman must have taken her
boy her youngest, and hence forever a
baby in her eyes back to her heart that
had never ceased to love and pray for
him. It was a stroke worth more "than
tho acutcst logic, I make no doubt.
Then he abruptly reverted to the
gay and ensnaring scenes which
the Prodigal had found so de
lightful for a lime, and aftenvard
so empty and so fatiguing, and dwelt
upon them a few minutes earnestly, let
ting the background of shadow move a
little further forward than before, and
yet saying never a word of the grave or
the judgment on the other side of the
grave. And then he paused for an in
stant or so, and when he spoke again
it tvas in a voice of mellowed and lin
gering sweetness, and his words were
the quaintly touchng ones that good old
George Herbert uses in his " Pulley,"
to tell how the Creator, when he made
man, hastened to equip hira with bless
ing after blessing strength, beauty,
wisdom, honor, pleasure till only rest
remained, and how that one choicest
boon of all was left uubestowed, to tho
end,
that at least,
If goodness led him not, yet weariness
might some day toss the longing and
restless being to its Maker's breast. I
could not for my life havo told, when
ho had concluded, what denomination
of Christians the minister belonged to ;
nor did it really seem to me to be a
matter of any consequence.
Wo waited after service to make ac
quaintance with this surprising pastor,
who proved to be a very frank and
agreeable young man, liberally edu
cated, who respected both his calling
and himself, and who had also a keen
eye for the absurd and incongruous, no
less than tho picturesque. He was able
to tell us a great deal about New
Sharon and its people; and it appeared
to amuse him not a little that my idle
psychology had in several cases so near
ly grazedthe truth regarding the cer
tain types of individuality that I picked
out in his congregation; my lago was a
specially accurate surmise, he Tiad rea
son, he said, to know, but he doubted if
my Desdemona would ever be smoth
ered. While he made no pretense of
excusing the common profligacy of the
population that nightly possessed Grand
-vveoue, iiu must yei aumii, an oo
served, that in his study of these rode
characters, he had come upon some
unfailing and distinctive traits which
should bo weighed to their credit. They
were uniformly faithful where duty was
a deciding cause ; their obligatious of
friendship were never broken or evaded ;
their promises were as plighted oaths,
which they redeemed at any cost; they
hated shams and every form of hypoc
risy; they scorned to take a mean", un
derhand advantage, even of a mortal
enemy; and the sight of misfortune or
suffering made children of them in pity
and gentleness and practical chanty.
For himself, personally, he had never
been insulted, or interfered with, nor
heard of his work being openly scoffed
at, and we would be astonished, he af
firmed, to know how much genuine re
spect the worst of these people, includ
ing such of them as never thought of
attending church services, had for re-
ugion as
a fact and a force in their
mulct. I wondered if thoso few endur
ing peculiarities of fidelity, veracity and
compassion, and this lurking reverence
for things clean and spiritual, were not
tokens of the unfallen angel in man that
wrestles with him to the end of his days.
The minister gave us to infer that he
shared the conceit. "Bad as they
are," he said, "they don't want to go
to hell. But they like the road that
leads there." Would it be too much to
assert that this terse analysis went to the
very core of the riddle of sin, not in
New Sharon merely, but the whole
world over?
He was quite sorry, the minister in
formed us, that we could not meet Mr.
Bartholomew, the baritone of his choir,
a remarkable man in his way. and anJ
old plainsman of Fremont's time, who
so liked to "sing sacred music that he has
abandoned the business of liquor-selling
and left off hard drinking and other in
commoding vices that he might have a
K lace in the choir; "but nnfortunate

There is pleasure, no doubt, in retailing
such stories, and pleasure arising from
vanity; but the speakers really believe
them, and think they have reason for
the belief. The extent to which the pe

culiarities of the old English laws about
inheritance, and entail, and will-making
got into people's brains, ami touched
their imaginations, would be incredible,
did wo not see every day tho difficulty

doubting that a claim which would have
been valid under the old laws, and with
sufficient evidence at its back, " must

tator. The Sherman Diamonds.
" By the way, do you know what has
become of the famous diamond
necklace which was presented to Gen
eral Sherman's eldest daughter by the
Khedive of Egypt on the occasion of
her marriage to Lieutenant Fitch?"
said the Einuircr man to Mr. Patton,
tho diamond merchant, yesterday.
"I do," was the reply. "A sister of
General Sherman calleil at my office
one da- this week, and I asked'her the
same question. She repeated to me the
history of the famous necklace, from
the time of its reception at the New
York Custom-house until its final dis
position. It is generally known that the
duties which the Custom-house officers
demanded of Lieutenant Fitch, before
they could deliver tho magnificent
prese.nt would be something over $20,
U00, the lowest estimate placed on its
value by experts being $200,000. Lieu
tenant Fitch, not being a man of means,
was unable to pay this sum. An en
abling act was then passed by Congress,
authorizing the Custom-house officers
to deliver the diamonds to Mrs. Fitch
free of duty. After this the necklace
was sent to Washington, and with
General Sherman's sword, deposited
in tho United States Treasury for safe
keeping. Upon further inquiry, Lieu
tenant Fitch ascertained that tho yearly
taxes on the diamonds in St. Louis
County, where he then resided, would
be much more than his salary, and ho
once more found them an elephant on
his hands. Ills father-in-law, General
Sherman, took pity on tho boy and re
turned the necklace, with thanks, to the
donor in Egypt. Upon receiving them
the Khedive wrote to the General, say
ing that it w:is not his desire that tho
diamonds should be given to any ono
member of his family, and, having
learned that he had four daughters, it
was his wish then that the diamonds
should be mounted in sets and divided
equally among them. These daughters
are Mrs. Fitch, ncc Minnie Sherman,
Ella Sherman, Lizzie Sherman and El
la Sherman. The necklace was then
returned to the Sherman family and
mounted in four magnificent pendants,
four pair of splennid solitaire ear-rings
and eight rings. The four ladies are
now the happy possessors of four com
plete suits of diamonds, the value of
each suit being at least 75,000. This
makes each of them rich in her own
right, through the generosity of Egypt's
ruler. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Thee. To Thee they'have appealed for

Scotch ginghams come this year in
solid colors of dark wine shade, pea
cock blue, and lichen green.
Flannel-finished cheviots are almost
as ni'ich in demand as camel's hair
cloths were last season.
Yeddo foulards are fine, thin, but
slightly repped silk-finished .urface.
Iteal silk Chinese crape, havo been
imported in larqu quantitias this sprm
to combine with brocaded and fancy H
fabrics.
IUe-pink, gray-blue, ami canary
yellow are favorite combinations of
color in many of tho new slriK'd,
plaided, and printed goods.
The latest fichus are very largo and
of India muslin, embroidered on the
edjres. Sometimes lace is added to the
wrought edges.
The greatest novelties in the dry
goods that have appeared for several
years are the Yeddo crapes and Yeddo
foulards.
Chip Tuscan, lace-straws, split
English, satin braid-, and I.eghorn
straws all appear in the new spring mil
linery importations.
Mack chip bonnats for tho coming
seaon have the crowns only of chip,
while the brim and curtain are formed
of lace straw.
Crown trimmings for bonnets will
be of soft iatin duelie-se, or satin sub
lime, in cashmere effect, changeable
and plain colors.

lloers of new millinery.
Some of the new spring colors arw
Japanese blue, or turquoise IsabclU' yel
low, Isabelie pink. Mar, lavender, helio
trope, mauve, and violet.
Some of the Yeddo foulards have
solid grounds or pearl gray, cream, ano
pure uhile, on which appear small anu
graceful designs in flowers and set fig
ures. Tortoise shell headed pins in all
sorts of shapes, black jet, silver, fila
gree, and amber ornaments, beads and
( chains are all very fashionable with new
coiffures.
The Yeddo crapes aro extremely
fine crape-like cotton fabrics, not dia
phanous, hut very light and cool in tex
ture, washable, ami returning to the
crape crinkle after being laundered.
Tho "sportsman's jacket" has
square basques in front, is rather short
and half-fitting behind, looc before,
has a number of pockets of all sizes anil
shapes, and a profusion of fancy but
tons. Plain black velvet underskirts are
considered st liih worn with an over
skirt of woolen goods. These skirts
aro never bound, hut have the braid set
flatly under tho hem, projecting suffi
ciently to protect the velvet.
The new brocades show much larg
er lloriations than appear in those worn
during the winter. Natural flowers of
full sie have not only been copied, but
patterns of brocades appear in flowers
of magnified size, and there arc patterns
in which shells and scrolls arc inter
blended with blossoms and foliage.
These brocadc3 are generally in mono
chrome and their otherwise pronounced
effect is modified.
The new spring jackets, to servo
for outside wraps with any dress, retiin
their English shapes. They are mostly
skirted coats, with tho horizontal seam
which joins the waist and skirt directly
at the waist line instead of below it.
They are of medium length, as they aro
rough-and-ready jackets to be worn with
any short suit," rather than a wrap for
dress occasions. The fronts are double
breasted, yet the revets collar comes
quite close'to the throat; and the novel
feature of these coats is the curved front
of the skirt, instead of the cut-away bias
slope worn hist year. The back is quite
closely fitted by a short side form, is
open in the middle scam below the
' waist, is folded or has a lapel in the
other scams, has square pocket flaps
on the waist line, anil two largo buttons
in the side form scams. These details,
it- will be seen, are exactly those of a
gentleman's morning coat, and the
edges are finished with machine stitch
ing, or else turned up and faced like
masculine garments. The cloth used is
Cheviot and English homespun of light
qualities in small checks and narrow
stripes of light tan shades, coachman's
drab, snun brown, and pearl gray.
These light colors will be greatly pre
ferred to black and dark blue jackets,
and will be worn with dresses of almost
any color. Large smoke-pearl buttons
with eyes in the center are used upon
these jackets. llariers Bazar.

Never sit down despairingly and say,
" It is impossible for me to rise in the
world. 1 am only a poor boy. There
is no chance for me." Why, it is just
such as you who have risen" highest and
become men whose names are known
throughout the world, who thoroughly
understood at the outset that their for
tunes were in their own hands, and that
hope and energy and effort were better
than all the family influence in the
world. Inherited wealth seems to be
actually enervating. Talents too often
lie disused in the hands cf rich men's
sons. What need of striving, they
think ; competence is theirs ; and often
such men squander the fortunes they
have not earned, and lives than began in
luxury end in beggary. Despair be
cause you are poor? Why, that is the
very reason that should bid you hope!
The biographies of most great men, of
most successful men, will tell yon that if
vou will but read them.
The Fanchon or handkerchief
shaped bonnet is the French favorite; it
is simple and universally becoming. Its
small frame is pointed in front, lies flat
on the top of the bead, and has no
crown. Ia general it is covered with red
or black satis, trimmed across with rows
of black-beaded Breton lace, and loops
of black satin or red satin ribbon, which
forma bow quite at the back. The
strings are satin ribbon, terminating
wkh lace or with the new curled fringe,
and they are fastened under the chin,
and not at the side.
The new Scotch ginghams copy the
best Madras plaids in orange and brown
witk a bar of dull red or purple of mel
low coloring. Tne quality m nner taaa
ever before. "There are smaller patterns
in plaids of crossbars of clear rose and
cobalt blues', soft as pompadour colors.

a few minute to bring you Into tho
detw thlckutt. It wa lu the winter of
lNi,1 that I nm to toll you of. I wa
then alRul thirteen years old, and as
rugged and strong as mot of tho young
men of twenty are In theo ttuica All
through the autumn the catamount and
black-.-naku hud bothered the inen cut
ting timber for home uo. Several tf
the villagers hail been badly hurt, and
ono old man was killed by the trick)
animal. The 1kv.h always helped in
hauling the logs and pieces of timber,
driving the buck wagon from the wood
to the hou-e-t, where it was to Ihj lumpol.
After old Tnclo Simeon wan killed, the
voiiion became badly hcannl, and made
the men g armetl, and wouldn't let in
youngsters go on tho teams. No more
trouble occurred, howeer, until the
winter set in. Kvery thing wa quiet
then, and tho fright caused by the
.iccitlenU of thu fall hail paovd
away. One day a terrible Miow-storm
M-t in. The Ibikes came down so thick
that we couldn't see from our windows
wro-a the road to Sam. HriggiV houie
Hy dark it had become three feel deep,
and we could hardly gft to the barn to
feed the Mock. About seven o'chn-k it
-topped snowing, and began to blow
very hard. It grew very cold also. We
heaped great logi on tho lire, and h id
the blaze roaring up the chimney. The
old man w:t- resting quietly in the cor
ner, smoking his pipe, ami scouted not
to care about what was going on, when
Middeuly we heard a long, deep growl
oming'from the woods The old man
knew what that meant, and so did some
( my older brothers. Tho catamounts,
madilcncd by hunger, and prevented by
the storm from getting any thing to cat,
vere coming in a body to the village.
In a minute all were astir. Two of the
boys started for the barn to see that the
door was fast, so that th catamounts
could not destroy the cattle. The rest
of us were told" to fasten the windows
and hunt up the guns which were hImiuI
the house somewhere. I went to close
a window, and then I could see the dark
pack rushing as fat as they could
through the snow. The sky had cleared
and the stars were out, so that I could
see tho folks at Uriggs and down
the street were preparing for tho
hungry animals. I dtdn t get
tho-o blinds shut any too
oiiick either, for tho head of tho gang
were within a few yards of the house.
Jut as I was leaving the nxmi tho old
man came rushing through tho hall say
ing, . Jim and .Jake havo been headed
off between here and the barn by thf
pack, and all the wild cats are on 'em.'
Vou bet there was lively movin' around
then. The old man and Hill, an older
brother, took the gun and went up
stairs to tho bed-room windows looking
out on the yard. Wo could hear tho
hoys yelling for help amid tho growli of
the delighted animals. I put for an
upper window, anil there was a fearful
sight. Jim had drawn his jack-knife,
and was keeping the cats at bay, but
loor.Take wm helpless. A big fellow
tad him down, and Jake had his hands
on tho rascal's throat with an awful
grip. Four or five moro of the gang
were trying to get a show at Jake, too.
Ho kicked right and left, and fought
like a tiger. .Jim had his hands full,
oven though ho did have a knife. They
got behind him, and would jump on
him. He gradually worked his wav
toward tho house, however, and sister
Sue, a brave girl, with nerves like a sol
dier, was waiting to open the dior and
let him in. Tho old man fired from the
window first, and one of the pack fell
dead. Neither Hill nor the Guv'ner
dared shoot at the animals right around
Jake for fear of shooting him. It was aw
ful, I tell you, friends. Hill put a
charge in another of the fierce brute.,
and he keeled over. Hy that time some
of the pack were devouring the first
eatamount that the old man hail shot.
Hut there were so many of them that
even the two dead ones only drew away
a few of the gang. .Jim had put two of
them out of the" way, and was working
his way fast toward" safety, but be was
terribly weak from the wonnds the cats
had given him. He was perfectly aoI,
thouirh. and ho shouted once to Hill:
kill nnnthpr lilA'krni.inl. nnu thfn I
.-- , -
enough of 'em will 1J busv eatin1 to
-" --, j
give ,
me time.' IJill crackdl away, and down
went a catamount close to Jim. Two
or three of the beasts jumped on the
wounded members of the pack, and Jim
made a dash for the door. Sue had it
unfastened, and the minute he reached t
the steps, she threw it open and he
rushed in, but, by George! one of the '
hnngrv rascabi sprang in with him. j
Then 1 tell you there was fun. She had J
a big meat-knife in her hand and she !
stabbed the brute, but it only exasper- f
ated him. It went for her right away, J
and in a moment there wa-s a cut down
her pretty cheefc that left a scar ne al- j
wav5 carried aftenvard. Jim turned as
quick as a flash and oaned bu jicl:- j
Kuile deep in tne oniies isroat. it. was ;
a stunner, but Deiore me ammai expired
ne gave im a ujj; iu iuiui iuuu i.u
was aore for a good many weeks.
"Meanwhile Jake wa struggling cut
in the yard- How he held out as be
did, with a half dozen blood-thirsty
beasU about him, is more than I could
ever uaderstaBd. When I stopped
watching Jim, asd looked agais to
where Jake was, he was a'l torn asd
bloody. You wosldn't have ksowa
Mm, so disfigured by the c&tatsoosts
waa he. The only thisgthat saved hiaa
was the fact that some of the neighbors
hearing the noise of the guns had come
out to lend asskrtaace. The instant
they came near the boose the animals
scented them, and all but two left Jake.
No sooner had they gone than Jim
rushed out of the hoae, followed bv
Sue. I told yon she was a brave eirf,
didn't I? Instead of making a big fo
lover the cat is her face, she neTer
thought of herself, bat only of Jake.
The two catamount left Jake right
away when they saw Jim and Sae, and
started for them. While one of the
rascals was midway between Jake and
