A ROMANCE OF LABOR.
The following true incidént was brought to my remembrance while liss tening to the rebellious.words of & young ‘man who would not’seé his father’s. wisdom: in desiring him to learn a trade. i u
“It will make a common man @ me, father,” he said, quereously. 9; shall be as dirty as a blacksmith, and have hands like the hands of a coai heaver.” e
“And if you think, Fred, that weating good clothe d having white hands makes a g%fifiman, let' me tefi'] you, Bir, you are ‘a very common man to begin with. A good trade might help you.to true notions of gentleman- i hood.” : 4 ‘Then Ilooked at the handsome fellow—for he was handsome—and I thought just now of Steve Gaskill. Steve has made his mark now, b i many years ago I heard just such & talk between him and old Josiah Gaskill, relative to the young gentleman learning his father’s trade of _wm‘&g stapler.” IO D “It’s a dirty business, father,” said the young man in full eyening dress, “and I hate the'smell of oils and the sight of men in blne linen blouses. I hope that I will do something better for myself than that.” ; “Very well, what is it thou’d wish to be?” : “A lawyer, father.” Sal
~ “They’re naught but a lazy, quar‘relsome set, but thou sha’ not say I ever stood i’ the gate. Be a lawyer, Jad; "I’ll' .speak to Mr. Denham about yon.r o 9 ; | . So young Steve was articled to Den‘ham & Downess to study law, and especially conveyancing. He was an only son, but had three sisters, and over them and his mother he exercised a superior influence. ; Whatever Steve said was right; whatever he said was beyond dispute. Even old Josiah, with all his sound sense, was, in gpite of himself, swayed by the undisputed acknowledgment of Steve’s superiority. He would not ‘have advised his son to bea lawyer, but seeing that Steve was not afraid of being one, he was proud of the lad’s pluck and ambition. : » " It cost him a good deal. Steve’s ‘tastes were expensive, and he fell naturally among:a class of men who led him into many exairavagances. There were occasionally awkward scenes, but Steve, supported by his mother and sigters, algrays cleared every scrape, and finally satisfied the family pride by being regularly admitted upon the ro6ll of her Majesty’s attornpys. In the meantime his father had been daily failing in health, and soon after this he died. Most of his savings had been secured for the helpless women of the Gaskill family, and Steve now found himself with a profession and a thousand pounds .to give him a fair start in it. People said old Gaskill had acted very wisely, and Steve had sénse enough to acquiesce in public opinion. He knew, too, that as long as his mother or sisters had a shilling they would share it with him, =
So he hopefully opened an ofiice in l his native town of Leed’s and waited for clients. But Yorkshire men are proverbially cautious; a young, good-‘ natured, fashionably dressed lawyer was not their ideal. Steve could not looks€rafty or wise under any circumstances, and that first year he did not make enough to pay his rent. ‘ Nevertheless he did not in any way curtail his expenses, -and when 'the summer holidays arrived he wenf as usual to fagshionable water-places. It happened thal year saw the debut of Miss Elizabeth Braithwaite, a great heiress, and a very handsome girl. Steve was attracted by her-beauty, andher great wealth was no drawback in his eyes. In a short time he perceived that Miss Braithwaite favored him above all other pretenders to her hand, and he began to consider the advantages of a rieh wife. e His ‘profession heretofore had been a failure; his one thousand pounds were nearly spent; his three sisters were on the point of marriage, a consideration which might seriously modify their sisterly instincts; and his mother’s annual income would not gupport him a month—would it'not be the best plan to ‘accept the good gort‘;me so evidently within his reaching ¢ e Elizabeth was handsome and inclined to favor him, and though she had the reputation of being both authoritatitive in temper and economical in money matters, he did nos doubt that she would finally acknowledge his ‘power as completely as his mother and sisters. So he set himself down to win ‘Miss -Braithwaits, and before Chistmas they were married. e True, he had been compelled to give up a great deal more than he liked; but he-promised himself plenty of post-martial compensations. Elizabeth insisted on . retaining her own house, and as Steve had really no house to offer, he must needs go to Braithwdite hall,’as husband of its proprietress. She insisted upen his removing ‘his office to Braithwaite, a small village, offering none of the advantages for killing time which alarge city like Leeds did; and she had all her money serupulously settled ‘upon therself for herl own use and under her-own econtrol; v s s e R
Steve felt very much as though his wife had bought him; but for a little time the eclat of having married a great heiress, the bridal' festivities and foreign travel compensated for the loss of his freedom. But when ‘they returned to Braithwaite, life showed him a far more prosaic side, Mirs.. Gaskill’s.economical ‘disposition soon became particularly offensive to Steve. She inquired closely into his business, and did not scruple to make unpleasant witty remarks about his income. She rapidly developed to an authoritative = disposition, = against which Steve daily more and more rebelled.: The young couple were soon very unhappy. - The truth was that a great transition was taking place in Steve's mind, and times of transition are always times of unrest.and misery. The better part of his nature was beginning to claim a hearing. -He had nowseen -all that good society could shew: him ; he had tasted.of all pleasures money ~can buy, but he was unhappy. . < ...Bhe had, no ennul and ne dissatisfaction. with herself. - There was her large house to oversee, her servants lm?clmity schools, her toilet.and a Mam%g of .pet. animals, Her &,&mx& short for all the inter_ests that filled them; and these inter::c%ihe.wpuldfihm_,wwil'lingly shared _with Steve, bub:to him they soon’ beim&ntfllfl‘flmm.” FOs SN . Under such circumstances he might ‘and Investigating of his wife's. ‘estate ,MI .abeth was far too cautious & woman to trust it to untried hands. Her father's agent was her
‘agent; her banker managed all her investment; her park and farm and gardens were all under the care of old and experienced servants, who looked g.'gpog ”Steve Gagkill ag “Missie’s husand.’? > - : 2
+ln the second year of his marriage he began to have some thoughts which, could she have thought it worth while, to ask what occupied the long, moody hours when he paced the shrubbery or sat silently looking out of the window. DBuf Steve was now ready for any employment that would take him out of his purposeless, dependent life which he had so foolishly chosen for himself. .
One day, greatly to his suprise, Elizabeth said to him’: i
“Steve, I have a letter from a cousin of my mother’s who lives in Glasgow. She i 8 going to Australia and wants me to buy her house. She says it is a great bargain, and I wrote to Barrett to go and gee about if. I have a letter this morning saying heis too ill to leave his bed. I womnder if you could go and attend to it?”. . - &l Anything for a change. Steveshow: ed a very proper business-like interest and said: : :
“Oh, yes, I would be very glad to go.” FEheliß eel
“Very well; I should think you knew enough of titles and deeds, and conveyancing. and all that kind of thing. 1 will trust the affair to you, Steve.” ; e
So the neXxt morning Steve found himself of the Caladonia line with a $lOO in his pocket and a veritable piece of business on hand. The first 20 miles out of Leeds he enjoyed with the abandon of a bird set: free; then he began to think again. At Crews he missed a traim, and wandering about the station, fell in talk with the engineer of the next one, who was cleaning and examining the engine with all the love and pride a mother gives her favorite child. !
The two men fraternized at once, and Steve made a trip over the Caladonia in the engineer’s cuddy. He was. a fine young fellow, one of seven, he said; all machinists and engineers; he was only serving his time, learning every branch of his business practically; he had brothers who were engineers, and he hoped to be one-some time. : i
‘ln spite of his soiled face and oily clothes, Steve recognized that refinement that ecomes with education; and when his new friend called upon him at the Queen’s hotel, he would not have been ashamed of his appearance, even in his most fastidious days. “Mr. Dalrymple, I.am glad to see you,” said Steve, holding out both his hands to him. . .
“I thought you would be, sir; it is not often I am mistakenin my likings. I will go with you now to sce my father’s works, if it suits you.” - Never had such a place entered Steven Gaskill’s conception; and immense furnaces, the hundreds of giants working around them, the clang of machinery, the mighty 'struggle of mind with matter, of intellect oyer revelation. He envied those Cyclops in leathern masks and aprons; he longed to nLift their mighty hammers. He looked upoa the craftsmen with their bare, brawny arms and blackened hands, and felt his heart glow with admiration when he saw the mighty works those hands had fashioned. The tears were in his eyes when Andrew Dalrymple and he parted at the great walled-in yard. St - “Thank you,” he said, “ybu have done me the greatest possible service. I shall remember it «-« . That night Steve formed a strange but noble resolution. First of all he devoted himself to his wife’s business, and accomplished it in a manner which elicited Mr. Barrett’s warm praise and made Elizabeth wonder if she might not spare her agent’s fees for the future. Then he had a long confidential talk withthe owner of the Dalrymple iron; and machine works, the result of which was the following letter to his Mrs, Gaskill: = " “My DEAR Wiks:—l shall nbt be at heme aguin for at least two years, for 1 have Dbegumn an apprenticeship to Thomas Dalrymple here as:an iron master. I purpose to learn the process practically. I haye lived toolong upon your bounty; for Ihave lost your esteem 'as well as ‘my own, and I do not say but I have deseryed the loss. Please God I will redeem my wasted past, and with His help make a man of myself. When I am worthy to be your husbhand you will respect me, and until then think as kindly as possible of: ... - STEPHEN GASKILL.”
This letter struck the first noble chord in Elizabeth’s heart. From that hour not’even her favorite maid durst make her litile passionate sneer at her “poor mast. »”. - iy - Steve, in leather apron and coarse working clothes, began laboriously happy days which brotight nights of sweetest sleep; and Elizabeth began a. series of letters to her husband which probably became more and more imbued: with the tenderest interest and respect.” lln-a few weeks she visited him' of her own free will, and purposely ‘going ‘to the works, saw her self-banished lord wielding a ponder: ous hammer upon a bar of white hot PORi 0% £ TR S gl IO SR B

Heuce, the bondholders profits in sixteen years amount to $3.24 for each dollar originally invested, or an average of over 20 per cent, annual profit; and besides all that, he still has his $lOO in bonds to off set the original investment. :
Therefore each $lOOO in bonds now amount to $4,240 ; each $~1(§00 to $42,400; and.each $lOO,OOO to W 1,000, Thus we see that figures will demonstrate the colossal increase of bond profits, proving that bondholding is the most profitable investment that capital can engage in. Agriculture, merchandizing and manufacturing bear no comparison to it. It is the boss business, with all risk of loss eliminated. No wonder that the bondholders are so tenacious about adhering to the “law and the profits (prophets).” - Still they are not satisfied, though reaping imperial increment, but like the horse-leech, thirsting for blood, they ever cry for more! more!! more!!! g / -
Yea! more avaricious by far than the immortally infamous Shyvlock, for he only demanded his pound of flesh, all that was “nominated in the bond,” whereas, the bondholder is continually seeking by cunning and by craft to secure legislation that will give him more than his bond ealls for.
ILLUSTRATION OF THE PROFITS OF ; BOND-HOLDING VS. FARMING, ;
' Sixteen yedrs age two neighbors; A. and 8., were each worth the same, $lO,000 apiece. A., being an agriculturist, invested his’ money in a first-class farm, buying a quarter section of good land, and engaged in farming, and has been farming ever since, but has not made money because his farm has depreciated in value 50 per cent. since the hard times sef in, and to-day he could nos get over $5,000 for his farm, and notwithstanding all his indastry, economy and hard work, he is eramped and hard run to live and can’t get out of dept.” : On the other hand neighbor B, has become a bondholder; he has been more fortunate than neighbor A., the agriculturist, for -he went into the money.market sixteen years ago, and he bought greenbacl,ts alb $2 for $1; then he took his greenbacks to the United States Treasury, and there he bought bonds with them ; thus getting $20,000 in United States bordsifor his original $lO,OOO in gold or silver; for each coin was a full legal terder then; his bonds bearing six per cent. gold interest, payable semi-annually, equivalent to seven per cent. in paper curreney or greenbacks. .
Now, how do these two neighbors stand in point of wealth, in this year of our Lord, 18787 Neighbor: A, the agricalturist, the farn or, is worth but $5,000, while neighbor 8., the bondholder, is more lucky, for he to-day is worth $20,000 in United States bonds, each dollar of which draws six per cent. gold interest, payable semi-an-nually, that is, $6OO gold interest every six months, or $1,200 gold interest per year. Hence we see that neighbor A. is worth but $5,000, and thatin real estate; such has been the decline in farming lands since he bought his farm 16 years ago, but neighbor B. is worth not only $20,000 in United States bonds, which have no decline whatever, but have appreciated ten percent. above par, and are now worth $22,000 instead of the original $20,000, thus making neighbor 8., the bondholder, worth four times as much as neighbor A, the farmer at this time. - .No wonder that the miserly clutchfists, - Shylocks .and money sharks, yclept bondholder, are ready to exclaim in the fullness of their pockets and hardness of their hearts, “The national debf is a national blessing, unto us and jour children. God help us to collect our eoupons and the devil take the common people.” - = Shelbyville, Ind. W R N«
Throwing Dustin the Eyes ofthe People. » [Cincinnati Enquirer.] The Republican leaders, appreciating the fact that appearances show against their party on the financial question, are: vigorously at work torid the party of two of three charges ‘that are weighing it to the earth—the charge that there has been a large contraction of the'currency since the close of the war; and the ‘charge that to sueh contraction is justly’attributable the depressed condition of the industries of the country. They can_ not deny that from March 4, 1861, to March 4,1875 fourteen years—the républican® ‘party “had uncontrolled ' Bway in the legislative and executive departments of the Government, and adopted justisuch financial measiures, and established just such financial policy as it saw fit. Whatever good its financial legislative measures and financial policy did the country it is -entitled to the credit, and the Reptblican leaders have not been slow to ~claimif for the party. The evils justly chargeable to such measures and policy the leaders know the party must father, and as the distresses of the country are attributed to such measures and policy, and cireumstances Estron%l'y, favor such ascription, they are taking unusual pains to relieve the party of all responsibility ‘in the premises.

Read the following, and you will then be better able to appreciate the fact that the Chicago & North-West-ern Railway- is the leading line between Chicago and Council Bluffs; that it can give you more value for your money than any other lire; that it, in the use of "these elegant hotel cars, has taken a long stride ahead, 21d that if you wish the very best accommodations, you must’ buy voiur tickets over thisroad. .. . . | . The followinfg_ was wriften [to a friend, by one of the best known, conscientious, and most traveled of railYoBd menc T 0 foy Iy " “MY DEAR SIR:-I have been unavoidably detained, since my return, in reporting to you, as promised, my experience and verdict as tothe Pullman “Hotel Cars” on the North-Western road. ; Ry 2 R
. “We—Mrs. D.and myself —have but ; a short story to tell about the one we were in, and that is that it was the ‘most enjoyable trip we ever made be‘tween Chicago and home. We was very agreeably surpriséd on many-ac-counts. First, the car is so elegant, ‘and rides so perfectly ;:then the meals are served with so much heatness; the table linen is changed every time, and the car kept in order. There were several children on the car. Sometimes it may be worse, and times, better, 1n this respect. There is something perfectly luxurious, or rather it is a luxury, to glide along through a beautiful country, overa perfect track, and seated by yourselves at an elegant table, with your food choicely cooked and served' with that neatness you gseldom find away from home, - The cooking and serving is all that could bé desired. o S “Now as to the cost: twhen I went East, in July, alone, my bills for meals were rather high; but for two of us they were actually less than at ordinary boarding houses. . “For dinner we had a whole prairie chicken, with vegetables, coffee and dessert, and bread—two kinds—and butter thrown in. -~ Cost, $1.50 (or 75 cents each:) I think some more vegetables were served than we ordered. « “We generally eat -a light supper. Our dinner was rather late; for supper we had two plates of raw oysters —all we wishedj cost, 40 cents each. Breakfast was a capital one, and is our favorite meal. We had a porter house steak, cooked to perfection, an omelette, potatoes: for two, coffee for two, hot corn bread for two, besides the bread on tle table; cost, $1.45 (or 78 cents each.) Total for the trip, $3.75. (or 6114 cents per meal.) EAE “In my judgment, when there are two or more in-a party it will not in any case exceed 75 cents per meal,and generally will cost less; and the cooking and serving are fhe best I ever gawonarall, - L
“I am confident these cars will prove a great success, and be very popular, The conductor—Mr. Taber;, I believe —we found gentlemanly and unobstrusive. . Next time we will try it again, <. ./ -Yours, very truly, ..
No man is better entitled to speak of the merits or demerits of these cars’ than the writer of the above. He has traveled for years, and hag tried all the leading lines in the country.: ¢ In these Hotel Cars the meals are o la carte—you pay for what you get, and nothing more; and that 18 at very reasondble.rates. . .t aina
The managers of the company have determined to omit nothing which will add to.the convenience, safety and comfort of the traveling public who favor them with their patronage; and further, that they will not be eclipsed in this direction by any other railroad in the world. Hence these cars, constructed by the Pullman Palace Car. Company especially: for the ll)’ic)lz;eer Line, are the finest cars ever uliv. 2 e :
It is not exaggeration 'tosagthatnd road in the world can produce the equal to these magnificent cars, and as the average traveler wants the best of everything that can be had, he must of necessity use this line in his franscontinental txip, ~ e R oy
The charges for berths in these Hotel Cars are the same (and no higher) as are made in the: more r common Sleeping Car, so that the traveler using one of these palatial hotels is-giv-en much more worth for his money than he can zet on any other line,. ...
