.. The Merchant and the Beggar. . Eome years ago there lived in Pittsburgh a rich merchant, somewhat advanced in_life, respected and beloved by all. He was always kind to the unfortunate. Charity: never pleaded vainly at his door. His purse and influence were ever at the command of the deserving. - His wife was his very counterpart, and many a fatherless child ‘and widowed mother invoked God’s blessing on her head. : One summer afternoon, the merchant had just returned to his home, and the toils and cares of the day being over, and in gown and slippers comfortly emsconced himself in his arm chair when the door bell rang, and a servant ushered a stranger into the room. o
He was a very young man ; indeed, he had not reached manhood. He was dressed in the very lowest garb of society, and his illfiting garments were worn and soiled, betraying great poverty. = - As he entered, he bowed low with a step forward, and attempted to speak, but the words died away in a whisper. ‘Well young man, what is_your business with- me ¥ asked the merchant kindly. ik “Alas | gir; T wish to obtain employ‘ment, I am suffering for food. And he turned away his head, while a tear started to his eye. : ‘lndeed ; why, wife, this must not be! where are your friends—your home, young sir?’ - . ‘Home L. «I have ne.-home but the open street. Friends! I had friends ; bat now I—l—"' : e - “Never mind, never mind. Ihave no’employment to give, but you shall not lack for food. Dinner waits.— Come dear, take my arm, and yon, young man, give the servant your hat and dine with us. We will hearfie remainder of your story afterwards. The stranger hesitatingly followed the merchant to his table, for his beggarly. garb ill became a place at the sumptuous board before them. They had dined, and the stranger felt partially relieved. ’ ‘Now, young man,’” said his host; turning toward him, ‘you have eaten, tell me why one like you are reduced to rags.’ , *Alas! sir, itis & simple story.— My father died when'l was an infant, leaving my mother ‘penniless, among strangers, to provide as best she could for the support of their only child.— Reduced from affluence to poverty by a law-suit involving his whole estate,; my father left home heart-broken, with the hope of retrieving his: fortune in a foreign land,. My mother, being a lady of superior education, - supported hergelf by her talents comfortably, and gave me a Acol'leg'ate education.— Three years ago 'that loved mother died ; and af;et_.%re&tbing a last prayer on her grave, and moistening the ‘green sod with my tears, I set forth in ‘the wide world alone. I came to this: city.and-procured a situation in a mercantile hounse, which I held till. my employers failed ; by:their influences I soon obtained another, with every prospect of advancement. - A fellow ‘clerk and myself slept in the store, and one night he arose from his bed ‘unknown to me, took the key of the safe from under my pillow, and robbed it of a large amjount, . The theft was immediately known and so strong was the suspicions against us both, that afraid of being discovered, the thief secreted the money in my burean, where it was found. I was arrested, thrown into prison, and kept a ‘year. Three weeks ,fifb my time ex‘pired, since which I have vainly en‘deavored to astablish my innocence and get ‘mgemenfl - My character ‘is gone, ‘and those who' were once friendly s§um me from their doors.— Poverty has compelled me to pawn ‘garments of my wardrobe, until the last were exchanged for these rags.— Mmulem 13 aianen gif, o, y L. 8m & Apairkesdagil avadt gy i%@%hfl&f@fim the stranger ‘sank back in his. chair, and. zmvw%m‘m s Bt o oniploryinogbminait s :‘!7*' .“, ;16, . .@) oW hirh. to'ths lhraey: | Bm | & Biag %fi i 00l ROl ! doerot drawer, chitaintil ‘Some hudred plsces; and L Kih. : @'fizfmam sl ) ;fl f oty o Wb AR gy . t*“?*%% sve, i, yor L e it i

~This,’ said he, ‘s all I want. It will bear me ' from this city. .1 hope to meet with beiter success elsewhere. . The merchant remonstirated at the ‘small amount taken, but in vain. - ‘God bless gon. gir,’ said the youth, ‘and your kind lady. May you ‘and yours never know what itis to want.’ And a heart full of gratitude—with their images so impressed on his memory that time nor change could never blot them out, he bade adieu to the dwellers in that stately mansion, and turned his hack on the city. ° %) And years rolled away, and the proud = mansion and its beautifal Emunda ‘had disappeared. Commerce ad nsurped their places. The mer‘chant’s wité had died, and he was for‘{ gotten.. The young stranger had never returned, and none, Klerhaps, were living to ask or care for his fate, Fifteen years had come and: gone since the day that homeless, penniless, and heart-broken youth came a beggar, seeking employment and asking for food of that happy couple. F‘l%tefil years! -
- How, many a fortune they make and mur! How many a proud heart they bend low and stricken ones upraige! .. ¢ e e o
- Within a few months of the time at which we write, an evident stranger to ‘the city was sauntering one morning through the iWashig:lgtpn market. He wa}s.ai)out the: middle age, of a tall, commanding iifure. regular, manly features, and elegantly dressed. As he passed from stall to stall, his attention was suddenly arrested by the cry of a feeble old man : ‘Fine fresh salmon to-day,sir!” = - Something in the tone made him stop and fix his eye on the face of the speaker. He was very old ; his hair was white as snow; and his trembling limbs and wrinkled brow told, as he held the fish up to the stranger, that time had nearly done its work upon that wasted frame. ‘Tell me,’ continued the other, drawing still nearer, without heeding his words, ‘have you always been a fishmonger ?’ - e
‘Always 7 replied the old man drawing himself up. ‘Always? No, no. Time was, sir—sir—but no matter. That’s past. My name is ——’ " “‘And you once lived in Pittsburgh, on — street,” agked the other quickly, some fifteen years ago? Answer me, old man. ~And the stranger, grasping his arm, listened earnestly for his reply. = e : ‘Ah! yes. I did, and little did I think my gray hairs would ceme to this,) = i
And the feeble old man laid down his fish -and sighed. : ‘Thank. heaven! Cheer up,’ said the siranger, satisfied with the answer,’ while a triumphant yet sad smile lighted ap his features. ‘Throw off your apron, old man, and follow me,’ - : T
“Then you buy my fish, sir.” = “Buy your fish? Yes, old man, I'll buy your flsh., Come to the Astor House immediately and inguire for Judge ——— of“mefifi?é% I will see you there.” :
With a basket of fish in one hand and his staff in the other, the old . man wended his way to the Astor House as quickly as his feeble limbs would permit.— The stranger was seated at a table with yarious papers spread before him. Something painful evidently occupied his mind, for his high forehead was burried in his hands, and his eyes were fixed on vacancy. - Suddenly he arose, and, pacing the room hurriedly, broke forth in words:
“Fifteen years ago; yes, fifteen years this very day, I was an outeast and a beggar! - Thrust forth into the' street—branded as a thief! Yet I was innocent, Heaven knows; but the world condemned me. Oh God! then when houseless, homeless, friendless, I fell on my knees and implored Thee to take the breath thou hadst given—if I sinned before Thee then may Ibe - forgiven; for what was life fo.me then? ¥Yet I placed my trust'in Thee, thanks to my sainted mother, who.is in Heaven; and thou didst illume the future, and make my path easy. Yes, I have lived to see the destroyer of my youth,a suppliant at my feet; publicly proclaim his guilt, for which I suffered. But could that atone for the havoc it had made in this burning heart? Nev-* er! never! That heart was broken, wasted, and grew old before its time. A‘g;ya Heaven %orgive him as I do, as wel-as those who, in spite of my protestations, spurned me from their doors. Poor old man! thank Heaven, the time has come when I may repay the debt of gratitude I owe thee - Thou gave me help when all else had failed. Yes, our: fortunes have changcd-——chnng’eglindemig}’ e The stranger ceased, and resuming. his seab scemed impatient for the coming of the fishmonger.-
At last a servant announced, a man with a basket of fish, which he said his honor had purchased in the market. ‘Show him to'my room,’ said the stranWO e 5
~_‘Show him to your room, yer hanor.— Shure its 3 man with a basket of fish'!
‘I bid you ask him to 'my room, sir. Go fetch him immediately.’ , The servant obeyed. ... ... = - ‘Be seated, sir, said the stranger, rising and handing a chair to the old man, who stt(‘)%%hwcnderingly clutching his basket 0 g e ;
- ‘Look at me,’ said- the judge, drawing his form forward so as to face him, ‘and say did you ever see me before?’ ‘lndeed, Ido not know sir, replied the old man, scanning his features. ‘I may have seen you in other days. ‘lf so you' are forgotten in the changes that have come over me. Butif you will pay me for mi fish, sir, I shall be’very much obliged, for I have fir to go to reach home,’ w 3 sill - ‘Stay. Never mind your fish—throw ‘themeout of the window,' said the stranger. ' ‘But look st e, and call to' mind, if you G%the events of fifteen years ago to-day.

Those who had a Bible took it out, but ‘this soldier had neither Bible nor Common Prayer Book ; 'bur:.guflin'g out a pack of cards he spread them out before him.

When the service was over the constable took Richard a prisoner, and brought him béfore the Mayor. “Well,” says the Mayor, “what have you brought this soldier here for 1” “For playing. cards in church.” “Well, soldier, what have you to say for yourself.” : “Much sir, I hope.” ' “Very good ; -if not, I will punish yin more than ever man was punished.” ' “I have been,” said the soldier, “gbout gix weeks on .the march.

“When I see the king, it reminds me of the Great King of Heaven, which is God Almighty.” “When T see the queen, it reminds me of the ?ueen’ of S?lflb&, who visited Solomon, for she . was as wise a woman as he was a man. She brought with her fifty boys and fifty girls all dressed in boys a.Eparel, for King Solomon to tell which were boys and which were girls. King Solomon sent for water for them to wash.

We -can not ignore the fact that the statute book;: with itnfi;ohhm -of prostitation &ndtmj ;and severe penalties’ -against their miserable .votaries, is wholly - inadequate -either to suppress or check the sgrmd of the evil. ghs fact, is.almoet daily exemplified by the proceedings- of our. police: court, and ‘other tribunals for: the trial of criminals. The laws have been, and are, ‘powerless to suppress prostitution and ‘gambling. gis quite palpable that ‘no severity of legislation can reach the root. of these evils; or even sensibly diminish them, for their tolerance rests upon -the moral sentiment of the communities where they prevail, .. - JBxperience to:this effect is abundcriminal lawyers; having the most. o do. with. the presecution of offences growing -out of, or .connected with prostitution, are . remarkably . unanimous in their conviction that prohibitory laws in this direction are utterly fatile. No, penal law, enacted by human agency,.can instil morality into man, or change his inherent nature.— What greater detriment can the law; social and statutory, hold up to a pure and virtuous woman than the loss of her honor % What severer punishment can be inflicted ' upon the erring ones than, the shame, the contumely, the contempt so unsparingly and vindictively heaped upon, them by the world, their own class not excepted. The number, of prostitutes known to the ~public as inmates of disreputable houses, ande who visit assignation houses in our city, is appalling. They are estimated at upwards of a thousand, without including those. who are plying their - infamous calling uuder the cloak of respectability, or have not yet openly ‘embraced shame and degredation. It is poor consolation for us to know that the large cities of our gister States are in as bad a condition as our own: -In the pious eity of Boston, the cradle of puritanical virtne, and Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, together - with New York, Bt. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, and Louisvillg; theé case is no better; and in some of them, perhaps all, far worse. - The vicious and the criminal resort to these houses, and -there plan and often execute their crimes. Lareeny, murder, rape, (upon, innocent girls -inveigled or abducted’ to them) and; in fact, all the crimes known to the law, are of frequent occurrence, in -these bagnios, and increasing to a fearful extent. The bones of a man’s hand, who is believed to have been murdered, were but a few days ago exhumed from ¢he cellar of a house in this city, formerly occupied . by prosti‘tutes, and only two ' weeks ago we recorded an attempted assassination in another, the victim narrowly escapingdeath. We are told that several houses of ill fame in this city are kept by women who have grown daunghters plying their shameful voeations in them; and others kept by women advanced in life, into which young and innocent girls are inveigled for prostitution, and there ruined and induced to lead lives ‘of shame!: There ate, also, houses where the assignations are arranged systematically .for ~matrried women, who have the reputation of virtue, and whose associations are ‘respectable.— Such facts are certainly shocking to the moral sense of the community, and exhibit an astounding : moral - depravylt. is undoubtedly within the power of legislation to at least mitigate and protect society ' against -some: of the most pernicious consequences of . prostitution. - The fearful disease engendered and disseminated by abandoned women, are not eonfined to themselves and those: who' frequent their dens, but are spread and communicated .to innocent ‘persons_throughout the com: maunity. . Itis difficalt for even fathers to ascertain the habits of the young man who' solicits the- hand . ‘of his daughter. He may possess a 'good ::%umion,” and the: noblest qualities, and yet marriage in such cases may give existence to diseased children and entail upon them through life the eftects of the diseases which abandoned women have generated and dissemin: . ated. 'These facts should be hrought home to- every individual, and’ they demand public as well as private consideration. -If the evil itself ‘cannot be remedied or prevented, the 'consequences which ' often: arise from i, should be, by police regulations. | The subject is by no means a private onge, or one that effects those immediately concerned alone, but it has a social and Tpolitical significance, . for -the health and strength-of the citizen is the wealth and power of the!State. .. By such diseases; 'as statistics show, a e portion-of the population are rumm, ;ufiwmor, “and, instead” of being producers, become dc'eudeatngw;&mnds or are thrown upon the public charities for support—hence zthcomwih‘mlmofim Jlaw;&mu&m; aB’ - @ufi moralists to: regulate -and * mi?u the physical - consequences -of - prostitugion, if the -evil . itself - cannot! be eradiepelsaen aosl s diddw srebuic il prevemf o¥ CIGRNEREE 108, gvil In faons uote ok Srhatdt Wi thousaods | e ¥o{%s£\ o fl@g%'é ‘3’???\’?{’? | ‘o a 8 far back "é““w" oy of the!

If the evil must be tolerated'in any shape, for even the present police regulations recognize it, is it not best :to deprive of its attractions and d:lngera,, wmorality, socially and physially, by placing aymggk_,up{m theP wyot’!i‘eny‘whz pvmlatg the Taws of nature, ‘of morals and of society, and subjcct them to folice and sanitary regulations that will take from the crime ite tinsel, its,_delusive. attractions, and make it in appearance, agit is in fact, humiliating aus degrading—a life of shame?’ (RERREL et o

Until wean able to refine and purify the mmfl: the gross, the 'evif tendencies of humanity, may we not conclade from the light of the past that the same fo: ces which have drawn mankind downward will be the history of the future? If this view of the question is in accordance with common sense, if it is prac-' tical, why thenis it not better, if we can not cure, to regulate, restrain, control and limit an ‘existing 'evil. The evil itself and the means to eradicate it, have been discussed for thousands of years; laws with severe penalties have*been enacted to prohibit it, yet we have made no advance upon the legislation or laws of the wisest man who ever . ruled.

The 'Thousand Mile Tree In Echo | Cmol. ! Just after entering the narrow canon. a tall hemloek “tfée is 'seen standing alone by the ‘side of the road. A board 'is suspended: from: one of its limbs bearing the proper marks to indicate to the tra.vef:r that this is just 1,000 miles from Omaha. What law of nature could havé produced a'lone tree right here, or' what fate could have controlled the winding of the road to. have made just 1,000 miles of track to this tree ; why it was not a rod one side or the other of the exdct distance, I will leave for somé other good brain to answer. Though scattering groves are passed on the road, this is the only tree on the line bearing a mark, and ay that great distance, as . well as being ‘none “othets near it, excites the ‘curiosity of the traveler. .He is sure to hear of it before reaching the point, and every conductor, for the isfig; of ‘gratitying : euriosity, runs- slow, that all may see it.

¢ A taste for good rea'dil‘i‘g has long - been observed as one of the most ef- - fectual safeguards to young men against crime. In the firdt -p%aee, it serves to give employment in those hours of leisure and freedom from work which would be likely othérwise to be worse than wasted. To -the young man who has no taste for reading, the evening hours become loaded with temptation. It is tiresome to sit moFiqg by the stove, and he naturally drifts to the tavern, the saloon, or the billiard and card table. There he finds ' others like himself, with vacant hours to while away, and thus grow up those habits and associations 'which- soon eventuate in dissipations or ledd to crime. 'We doubt if one Histance in a thousand can be found @ a young man’s making shipwreck & hopes and - character who was aeénsto’_ ed to spend his evenings at home réading good books ; angfl we say to any parent that a well' stolcke(f]: library anil an abundant supply of newspapers and magazines, w[i,tl{ ‘the. ha.bitngreading on -the part of yourboy, is wotth more to keep your boy out of miscl;k;ef, to make a man out of him, than any other single influence at your command. Again the habit of reading confers positive strength and elevation of character. The well-read man is nsually the well-informed man. Reading is the great stimulus of thinking. The
instances are rare of a great writer and thinker who was not himself a great reader. There is no stimulus of the mind so powerful as communion with other minds. The masg of young men, eapeciallg of the Working mechanic and trading classes; need this mental exeitement to prelerve a symmetry and equipoise of ‘tharacter.— The farmer is in danger of having his thoughts fall too much int& the routine of- his daily life.. A goodjbook or paper. expands them, sets them to work upon other topics, and gives them a wider scope. The meghanic, after mastering the details of Q,xia business 'and perfecting himself in{it, ought to leave his trade with his t§ols when he goes home at night, and ih good reading find 'a wider cultivition of his whole nature. The trader whoallows his mind to run constantly upén ‘his - business soon becomes a narrow, onesided man. He, too, needs to get out of his rut and give his thotghts a wider range. To all of these the book, .the magazine, and the newspaper is a ‘necessity.—Lawrence Weekly%ubh’can. . . : Ay Reniarkable Works of Human Labor, Nineveh was 15 miles long, 8 wide, gnd fih mfludrm with & z:l 100 . eet high, and thick -enowgh for- three chariots - abreast. .
