“BUSTED IN GOLD.” S HARRY WILDE. o Click, click, ‘click, went the electric wires throughout the land, and the news came. : “Smith, Jones & Wiggletail, bankers, Loudon, Liverpool and New York, ‘broke’ with debts amounting to more than ten millions sterling. The news created the wildest excitement on 'Change.” s . Well, and so Mozés & Co. stood through it all, ever ready, smiling -aud affable, now their great antagonists, Smith, Jones & Wiggletail, were broke, utterly dead, as was said ; / they once more than flourished, and their word was as good as their bond. : I was a young man then, just starting into business—rather a bad time, you say, just at the close of our war; but young men are hopeful, you know, and besides, I was in love. Emma was her name; and I loved her truly, as I may say with my whole heart, and with this incentive any one will attempt almost everything. You see, I then thought, in my youtbful ignorance and folly, that to be carnest in love was quite right. I have since learned from the papers that it is not, and such things go by the fashion. : Ah well! To make a long story ghort, ber family was rich and I was poor, so 1 had to make my fortune before I coulll win my prize. T went to New York in the spring to buy googds for my business, and then I first met Moses & Co., or rather the Co., Mr. Rinebart, who was the very personification of a bustling business man, a German, one who evidently sought to please, and one who reached its fulfillment, I do not think I ever saw a man to whom I on first sight took such a liking. . *Moses,” as he was invariably called, Ly clerks and all, and to whom I was afterward introduc~ ed, was a quiet little fellow, in a far cap and a blue coat with brass buttons —quite an old-fashioned little fellow ; indeed, something like the pictures we see on old-fashioned snuff boxes. : Soquiet was he, in fact,” that I at first took him for one of the under clerks, or something of that sort, ‘I takes no Interesth,” be said ; ‘I only sits and iooks ;’ and I thought he did; he had something so peculiar and fixed about his eyes ; somehow these eyes became fixed in my mind, and I always connected them with some misfortune.— However, to continue, I was so much pleased with Mr, Rinebart that I in~ trusted all my affairs in New York into Moses & Co.’s hands ; and aided. by them, or rather by him, I was soon enabled to purchase what stock I wanted and retarn to New Orleans. " Here, on my¢arrival, I, of course, called at once on Emma, who met me gmiling at the door, and who, after hearing of my visit to New York, and all gbout i, said: ‘Now, since you bave made so succeesful a start, papa says when you can show that you have made ten thousand dollars in business, then we can be married, aud then we will be'so happy, won’t we, love?’ 1 smilingly kissed her, and replied:— ‘Yes, sweetheart, and let us hope that it will be soon.’ e Everyone will remember . how dark for commercial - enterprises was the winter succeeding our war; and so I, ‘in conjunction with all other business -men, fought hard for existence to find our prospects in the epring a little brighter, and our way clearer ahead. - Moses & Co. still flourished; and their quotations and bulletins ‘in gold’ were known wherever there were business circles or business men.

So the years passed, and for a young house I stood well; but I was still un_married, having never yet cleared a ‘sufficient amount to enable me to mar'ty Emma, while she grew lovelier and lovelier every day. - i It was one evening of the winter of ’67 that I shut my office door with a more gatisfied feeling. I had that day remitted to Moses & Co. my bill of exchange for all lowed, and my books ‘showed a clearance of my more.than ‘desired amount,-and, as I have said, 1 was more than happy. . : 1 deferred my joyin telling Emma ‘until to-morrow, as I knew by that ‘time my exchange would be received, and then!l could claim her as’ my bride. , I do not remember whether 1 slept much that night or not; probably as I was then in earnest, and not in the fashion, I lay awake. =~ I have forgotten tosay that Moses & Co. had ‘gone into gold,” and were the leading men of ‘the ring.” My friends had warned me of this, but, I deeming them perfectly safe,left all my business in their hands. i . ; ~ Next morning I went smiling to work, thinking with a glad heart of my joy in telling Emma in the evening -how all stood. i Well, the day wore on, and the New York dispatches having arrived, I wens out to hear the news. As I was passing alon?, I met an acquaintance, and asked him was there anything new from New York. ‘No, he believed not; yes, there was, too, Moses & Co., ‘bankers and brokers, have ‘busted’ in | gold ; sold- millions shert; don’t be-

lieveanybody inour eity hurt, though.’ ‘Moses & Co. busted in gold! Nobody hurt! 1 hastened to the bank. My exchange had been drawn: I was a ruined man. o ; 1 returned to my office, buried my face in my hands, and burst'into tears. Iv'was my first loss, and I felt it most; maybe we grow callous as we grow older. Presently I recovered myself -ana began to think. Not so bad as I was at first ; there were my ten thous« and dollars which I had saved—l tho’t of it with a sigh—it must go to save my credit, ard we, Emma and I, must wait. - , In a week I had paid every cent 1 owed, and s&till had enough to carry on business. T felt esafe enough .in this but it was with & sad heart that I went to carry Emma the news of my misfortune. T ' She ran to the door to meet me, surprised at my long absence, aud immediately asked me concerning it. - I told her of my misfortune, and why' iv was all over she gaid : M C W, dear, weill have 10°'Wa for our wedding day.’ But it never came. Next morning 1 received a polite note from her father requesiing me to discontinue my visits at the house, adding : ‘I know you are gentleman enough to cease to any longer aspire to my daughter’s hand, perceiving, as.you must do, that you have kept her waiting already longer- than ‘was at all desirable, and I have other objects in view.” . She married another man, a rich old merchant—persnaded into it by her father’s commands and mothers’s eu~ treaties and tears. ' I never will believe Ler false for the love of the days that were dead. - I am a confirmed old bachelor now, and will dever marry, which I believe is quite to the point, and—thongh I sayit rather bitterly—in the fashion. On the ‘black Friday,” which all will remember so well, I etood in the New York money market, and gambled desperately in"gold. e I: ghall never forget the day; men seemed mad, raving, farious. | The hour difme when Israel Friar was borne a shricking maniac from the room.— And there was a terrible pause. . - I bad made untold millions, and he, her husband, had lost everything. I tursed myself as that day I saved his credit, almost at the risk of my own; but I did it for my old sweetheart’s sake.. He knows it, and I believe she does too. ‘ bt : -J'saw her yesterday getting into her carviage She started—turned white—as I «drove rapidly on my way to the club, and bowed low, very low, and’ thought as I leant forward and buried my face in the cushions, with her fair face deep in my heart—‘lt might have been.’ . L I start for Europe and the East tomorrow, which I know is entirely unsatigfactory, and notin the fashion.— But I don’t care. i . Ah well! So yousee what Moses &, Co. did for me when they ‘Busted in Gold ! o e An Englishman and a German wese traveling together in a diligence, and both sthokivg. The German did all in his power to draw his companion into conversation, but to no purpose ; at one moment he would, with a superabundance of politeness, apologize for drawing his attention to the fact that the ashes of his cigar had fallen on his waistcoat, or a spark was endangering his neckerchief. At length the Englishman exclaimed : ‘Why can’t you leave me alone? Your coat-tail has been burning for the last ten minutes, bnt I didn’t bother you about it.’

A Good Story. - De2acon D. was very much interested in a revival that was taking place in the neighborhood, and as a consequence, was continually urging his neighbors to ‘come over on the Lord’s. side,’ ag he expressed it. He had frequently importuned an old neighbor of his—who was not particularly noted for profession of religion, but was nevertheless highly respected by all who kpew him—to attend one of their evening meetings. - Now the piety and honesty of the deacon was a matter of doubt among the fellow-townsmen, and' particularly so with the old man above mentioned; who for convenience, we may call Uncle Josh. After re. peated calls, Uncle Josh consented to accompany the deacon to one of the meetings, and accordingly accompanied him to the ‘school-house’ one evening, much to the surprise of all present. In the course of the evening the deacon arose with a penitential "countenence to tell his -experience, - He was the prince of- sinners, he said. If he got his desert he would be banished forever from divine favor. Afier making himself out be all that is vile in man according to his interpretation of ~*he thdt humblech himself shall be exalted,” he'sat down with the sublime sense of having done his duty and asked: Uncle Josh if he wouldn’t tell his experience. With some reluctance he meekly arose amid the breathlegs atiention of the agsembly. It was an unknown oceurrence for Uncle Josh to speak in meeting.. He said he had listened with great interest to the remarks of the deacon, and could assure his brethren that, from bhis long acuaintance with him, he could fully ingorse all the deacon had said concern-~ ing his meanness and vileness, for he was certainly the meanest man he ever knew. The wrath of the deacon was terrific. He shook his fist under Uncle Josh’s nose and exclaimed, ‘You are a confounded liar, and I’ll whip you a 8 soon as you get out of church !’

: From the Laporte Argus. | THE WORK BEFORE US----THE ABSENTEES AND BOURBONS, Now that it is settled that Thomas A. Hendricks is to be our next Governor, } the Democrats and Liberals of the State | have one more duty to perform. In- 1 diana must be carried for Greeley. It | can be done if we only get out the voté and stand by our guns. . That we have failed to elect our entire State ticket is the fault of the' men who claim to be Democrats but wlio from pure selfishness or lack of patriotism staid away from the polls or voted the Republican ticket. The real test of party strength | Was on the head of the ticket, and we J‘hgve been successful without the aid of the growlers and mal contents. For ‘_ years it has been the misfortune of the i‘Detpocratic‘ party that it has been enievabered with a few old fossils who med nothing by past experience ‘ el B’&"‘T’,ﬂé‘é’ted that (%n! Jackssn ghould ‘be voted for at every succeeding election. The world progressed but they remained motionless and continued to worship at the feet of the dead past, To them, a progfeesivc step was unorthodox: and an awaken-. ing to the realities of the important present was a hereey to be punished by | excommunication from the party.— The present campaign has taught all political students that this class of men are not the ones to lead a party to victory; they may be honest, but ifso they are too self-willed, arbitrary and radicéa.l to meet the demands ‘ot any 1‘ party in this progressive country and enlightened age. ~ The world moves with rapid strides and the vigorous progress of the American public will crush all party stumbling-blocks that in any way fetter ‘the;onward tide.— 1 In a country like ours the present always furpishes abundant material for political contests, and it is the nature of man to forget the past while he grapples with the present and anxiously hopes for the future. It would seem to be high time tha} the Bourbons of the Democﬁgtic patty should awake from their A,}Rip Vah Winkle slumber: and recognize a fépv of the above important facts. The late election should teach them that they are minute atoms in the great body politic, and an anal. ysis of the vote will show them thatwhile they may effect a small amount of harm, they can. do no good and can not be fully successful at anything except it be to make themselves so ridiculous as to be the leading subject for contempt and derision. The vote of this class of men will only reach about . two hundred in the entire State of Indiana and the showing of strength is ‘too pitiable to even™ pay for the contempt which may be wasted upon them. But the element first alluded to deserves severe ceasure for ite failure to do its duty. We have faith to think that many of these absentees are patriotic and earnestly desire to cee their country prosper, but many of them have their ‘own peculiar 'notions, and» forgetting that they live in a government founded on compromise and belong to a paf'ty whose ‘very *bagis is liberality and generosity, they nurse the spirit of the most virulent Radicals and refuse to move unless the whole party follows them as a guide. Was ever selfishness and anti-Democratic gpirit more thqrougbly exemplified — ‘These people seem to forget that the 'very idea which they claim to be the embodiment of is the one which they doggedly refuse to follow. To be a Democrat is to favor the doctrine that the majority govern the minority, and yet, these men who- claim to be the only genuine and the juciest part of ‘the Democratic nut refuse to follow a majority of at least minety-nine hundredths ! Their sullen persistence in this anti-Democratic course has cost us a part of the State ticket, for had they come forward like men actuated by the true spirit of Democracy and cor‘dially united with the mass of their party an overwhelming triumph would have been the result. ,The Liberal Republicans have done their whole duty, and the plain fact stares us in the face that we have been beaten by the selfish absentees. of the Democrat- | ic party. As before stated, we still have faith in the patriotism of these men ; they have only allowed their prejudice to override the- real principles of their faith and we believe the late election will clearly show them the “error of their'ways. With this view of the case we feel confident that these absentees who have caused our partial ' defeat will now rally as one man and correct their mistake by voting for Horace Greeley. If this' is done Indiana will be safe and her 15 electoral | votes will be cast for the cause of Rec- | onciliation and Purification.

WHAT SIZE ?—A green sprig from the Emerald Isle entered a boot and shoe shop to purchase himself u pair of “brogues.” After overhauling his stock in trade, without being able to suit his customer, the shopkeeper hinted that he would make hima pair to order. Theprice named; the Irishman demurred, but after a ‘“‘bating down” the thing was a “trade.” Paddy was about leaving the shop when the other called after him, saying: — * But what size shall I make them, sir ?” #“Och!” cried paddy, promptly, “niver mind about the size at all; make them as large as ye convaniently can for the money.”

. THE EEMPERANCE MEN. | The Radical press and the streetcorner politicians are jast now engaged in a vigorous abuse of the Temper--ance men of Indiana. They charge Hendricks’ success to the votes of temperance men, and by assuming that this class of voters are honest in their ideas of the reforms which they advocate, they find ample grounds for abusing them. [This illustrates the Radical idea of the elective franchise.¢9The ballot is not to be used to elect rulers who by their whole lives and public acts demonstrate that théy are true and faithful’ representatives pf’ moral and temperate principles, but according to Radical ‘gospel, a man should advocate. temperance doctrines and then give the lie;to his public and private views by voting for men ‘who are notoriously ‘givgn to | riotous drunkenness. | -_Td ‘briefly express the idea, to be a'Radical is to bea hypocrite—to advocate one thing and vote for. the opposite. ' 1f ‘this is xmt,‘ done these who depart from it must expect to be abused by the leaders of this righteous and moral party. The party lash is to'supersede intelligence and principle, and the man who dares to exercise hispolitical in dependence must do go at the 'peril of the most unrelenting abuse. This is not ouly shown in the treatment of temperance men but it is overwhelmingly illustrated in the shameful and revolting abuse which is daily heaped upon- Liberal Republicans. It is an evfrday for any nation when the sincere and honest man is forced by party pressure to lose his identity and be swallowed and digested by those who sink the patriot in the partisan.

- The true character of the few delectable individuals who are pleased to call themselves “straight~outs” has had no better illustration than at the late ““strayed-out” convention in Pennsylvania. These immaculately pure Democrats (?) met io council forithe ostensible purpose of forming an electoral ticket to be voted for by those whose D‘emocracy iz too pure to allow them to sunport the regular nominees of the party. Atter consulting and agreeing that the late State election was a sufficient gunarantee that Pennsylvania would vote for Grant, these honest Democrats. passed a resolution that. they no lon_irx__rer recognized a mecessity. for their organization,and hence,no nominations were made. In other words, there was no further necessity for them to aid in the defeat of the Democratic candidates and they could now openly vote for Grant. Was a pol‘icical'tric‘k ever made more transparent? and if thers a}e\aiy honest ‘men in the sideshow business is it not plain to them that they are being used for base purposes? e

DURING a class meeting held several years eince%y the Methodist brethern of a southern village Brother Jones went among the colored portion of the congregation. Finding there an old man notorious for bis endeavors to serve God on the Sabbath and Satan the rest of the week, he said : “Well, Brother Dick, I’'mglad to see you here! haven’t stole any turkeys since 1 saw you last, Brother Dick?” “No, no, Brudder Jones; no turkeys,” “Nor any chickens, Brother Di k?”’ “No, no, Brudder Joneg, no chickens.”’ L ' “Thank the Lord, Brother Dick! That's doing well, my brother!” said Brother Jones, leaving Brother Dick, who immediately relieved his over-bur: dened conscience by eaying to a near neighbor, with an immense sigh of relief. ' . : «Ef he’d a said ducks, he’d a had me?”’ : : .

THE other day a gentleman called at a fashionable millinery establishment and asked the lady proprietress, “Have you false breasts?””’ There was a vehement row under the roof for a minute or more, till quailing before the war of words, he stammered ont, “they are for my wife not me!’’ This explana tion speedly satisfied her and he got the palpitators, :

It is said that the thieving Grant rin expended three million dollars in ord to carry Pennsylvania at the late electiigh. This was largely spent in buying{up Judges of Election to make false retu aud in hiring repeaters to vote thirty or forty times apiece.

Within its vast area it possesses every geographical feature, with scenery that is most grand and romantic, bold mountainranges, lakes of surpassing beauty, picturesque rivers and magnificent csscades.

We enjoyed a capital view of the ever changing beauty of the Catskill mountains lying in the distance on the western bank of the river. - Through the effects of the atmosphere they at times seemed to recede, and then again to approach.

Good on Butler. : A rather amusing story is in circulation at the expense of the gentleman from ‘Massachusetts. At the President’s levee the other night, an old lady from the interior somewhere, in a tainting co‘Edition, requested her husband to get her an ice. . “Can’t be did,” responded her hushand in some irritation, “there ain’t no refreshments here.” J “Do;) believe it. Didn't we get plenty -at BelKdap's' the other night?”-the good woman said angrily. “Now go and get me an ice and a Jemonade.” o [ tell you now, don’t be a fool ; there ain’t no refreshments; everybody says so,” grunted the lord and master. : “You are mistaken, sir,” said the Hon. 8. 8. Cox, who happened to be near, and ‘who never loses an opportunity to put.in a joke. “The President always provides substantially. There is the butler, whose business it is to show ladies to tie supper room,” and the Hon. jester pointed to Gen. Butler.. “You'll find him a little stuck up, but you must not mind that; tell him to get you some terrapins.” . This was said so gravely that the two stroggled through the crowd to where Gen. Butler stood talking to some ladies. - %I say, mister, I am told you are the butler,” said the man. 4 St “I'm General Butler,” replied the gentleman, pleasantly, thinking the two country people were filled with admiration for his greatness. : : : 4] don’t care whether you are general butler or not, but my wife wants some’ terrapins and lemonade.” - _ “Sir!” roared Gen.
