Lizzie Blake—A True In9ident.
BY MARY A ROE.
Lizzie Blake was a remarkably hand:
some young girl, who was the unrivall-
ed belle of large New England town.
Among her intimate friends was a
young physician, who noticed her fre-
quent indulgence in the wines offered at
Boole]. gatherines, and remonstrated
with her on theb'clanger of forrhing such
habits, and the evil influence she was
exerting upon the young men by whom
she was surrounded. But she careless-
ly lauerhed at his scruples, and affirmed
that for herself there was no danger,
and. if weak young men were foolish
enough to run to excess, that was no
reason why she should refuse to t on -
form tp the customs of society, and
turn a party into a temperance lec-
ture, as he always seemed inclined
to do.
Fieding hisl efforts to check her
course without iavail, he ceased to try
. to influence her, save by the power of
New York bro er, and came to live in a
In a short tre she married a wealthy
luxurious home on the avenue. For
several years frequent mention was
made in the city papers of her elegant
appearance at fashionable gatherings.
Then her husband met with heavy re-
verses, which ,soon caused his death,
and. Lizzie dropped o-ut of the circle
where she had so long held sway,.
Her early friend, the physician, often
wondered what had become of lier,
could. learn nothing from those Who had
formerly known her.
One day, having Leen called. by busi-
ness to New York, as Le was passing
through one of the strebts near the East
River, he saw a man, in the door of a
basement liquor aud oyster saloon, rude-
ly taving to draw a shawl fron the
shoulders of a dirty, tattered Woman,
who was crying in a shrill, Maudlin
voice :
" You shalt not have my shawl.
It's real India, and it's all I've got
left."
There was .a tone in the voice that he
recognized, and steppieg down in front
of the speaker, he exclaimed in amaze-
ment :
"Why, Lizzie Blake,1 have yon come
She instantly renaembered hina, and
a deep flush of shame for a few mos
meets covered her face, as she strove
to draw the poor remnants of her
once costlye shawl over the ragged
aleeve3 that exposed her still beautiful
arms.
4'What right have you to take her
ahawl ?" said the physician to the sa-
loon keeper.
"She keeps coming here every day
for drink, and has already a long Un-
paid score, so I thought I'd try that
willictuyetnolyd.rive her offir replied the man
"I'm hungry and thirsty. This man
hes had all my money, a,nd now he
won't give me one little drink, though
Pm. perishing for it. But I can't let
hina have my shawl," she said in the
same whining voice, as she sunk back
into utter forgetfulness of- all save her
degrading appetite.
" Come with me, and take you
- where you will ha,ve good wholesome
food," said the physician, striving to
make his pity overcome his diseedist for
the loathsome creature his early friend
baci now become.
" Will you give me a drop of whiskey
teo 8he asked eagerly.
"No, no ; they will teach you how to
do without it."
"It's too late. I tell you I can't do
without it. Here, ma.n, you may have
ray shawl if you'll give me one more
good, eenerous drink."
Dutbthe physician sontiuued to plead
with her to leave thcSe haunts, and go

. "Xow, Charley, give nae $50 for old s

or your temperance retreat."
"Yer see, sir, it's nduse. When wo-

cian went out leaving her eating at
one of the woo en. tables_ in the dark
basement, and never saw or heard of

A Joke on Barnum.
Barnum's autobiogra.phy. He was
the group me who were chatting to -
staying at a rain hotel, when one, of
gether proposed that they should have
a race to a fence some hundred yards
away, and. that the last man who
touched it should undergo a penalty
not wholly uneonnected with the pur-
chase of champagne. Barnum declar-
ed that he could not run, he carried too
much weight, thinking at any rate he
could beat the " nineteen stoner."
They made a fair start, and Barnum
was astonished to find himself leading,
in spite of weight and bad condition.
He continued to make a length ahead,
and suddenly the peculiarity of the fact
that he should be beating young and
active men flashed upon him. There
must, he felt, be a trick somewhere ; so,
on reaching the rail, instead of touch-
ing it, he turned around and watched
his various rivals in the race. No one
else, however,- toue,hed the rail, and
then the wily showman saw through
the catch. If he had touched it, he
would have been the last -man to do so,
as none of the rests would have put a
hand upon it on any account.
The Schoolma'am at Court.
Lina Morgeenstern, the respected in-
ventor of the kindergarten,_ attended.
the, court held in the Berliner Schloss
on the lith instant, in celebration of
the golden wedding. Royal pages,
gorgeous in searlet and white favors,
were in attendance at the doorway of
the throne -room to spread out the trains
of the noble dames and damsels privi-
leged to appear before the presence, and
perform the homage of curtsies pre-
scribed by etiquette. These high-born
youths executed their functions with
admirable neatness -whenever the ladies
happened to be ambassadresses, peer-
essese or even members of the numer-
ous untitled. *aristocracy ; but when a
lady of the middle class, haply repre-
senting a deputation of a charitable so-
ciety, presented herself at their post,
they wore observed to hang , back and
and withhold service. When Lina
Morgenstern's turn came to enter the
throne -room, she paused. at the portal,
expectant of assistance eagerly afforded
but in vain. Turnine sharply around
upon the "proud layea" who disdained
to uotice a mere "burgerliche," she ad-
dressed them :
"Who are you, young gentlemen?"
"And you ?"
"Well then, Prince El— and Count
, be so gclod as to arrange my
train properly.r
With cheekslas red as their liveries,
the youthful nobles hastily did their of-
fice, having learned a salutary lesson
from a lady whose exceptional experi-
ence in managing I -conditioned chil-
dren thus stood hoc in geod stead at
the court 9f her sovereign.

Selling a Mine on Wall Street.
Not many mouths ago a man pretty
well kncwn on the Comstock went east
te sell a mine lying in the Pyramid dis-
trict. He had a map of the claim and
its underground workings all done up
nicely in pink and blue ink, and it was
as fine a piece of draughting as one
would wish to see. He took his maps,
traps and samples of ore to New York
and began to "lay" for a, customer.
Presently he fell ,in with a wealthy
Wall street manipulator, who -got him
on a string and. wanted to get him a
customer on commission. "Now, look
here, old man," said the Wall- streeter,
you are from Nevada, and probably a
little green in the ways of our street.
You will meet some awful sharp men
here, and you must manage to be a
trifle sharper or you can't do anything.
Let me manage this thing, and. eive me
all I can get over ten thousand tfor the
mine."
The'Nevadian agreed, and 'the New
Yorker took him into a room and
began to give him some confidential ad-
vice.
"Now, here's the way to manage this
thine. Of course, if you have a really
eoodhrnine it won't be at all out of the
way to make it look big. Now, take
this map—it is a good map, but it
ain't big enough. We must show up
some mere ore. I'll get an artist to
put in Some extra ore bodies—just
scatter them through the mine like
plums Ma pudding—and that'll half
sell it. The buyers will be sure to dis-
cover these ore bodies afterwards, all
the same."
"This don't look to me to be hardly
square," said the Nevadian,with a deep,
religious expression. "1 want to sell
my mine on its merits. I never sold
a thing in my life on false representa-
tions, and I'm too old to begin now."
"Now, don't iget riled., old fellow.
You are ot supioosed to ' know what
do. Giv me thIe maps and the ore and
let me a tend to the business, You
can't be too tricky when you sell a
After considerable persuasion the
mine owner turned over hiS Maps and
ore samples to the Wall streeter, and
that astute opettor went on his way.
His first step w s to get an assay of the
samples, and they showed up $1,500 to
the ton. This Set the New York chap
thinking, and ho went back to his Ne-
vada frieod and asked hiM. how high the
samples evould run to the ton.
"Well, I hardly want to say," replied
the Nevada innocent. "I guess them
samples you've ks,ot are•good for ,535 or
a ton. Of course I just took an av-
erage fro different parts of the mine.
I don't b lieve in picked samples. Such
frauds at bound to come out sooner or
later, an as I ve got more mines to
ell I concluded to act pretty square
nd get a good reputation for business
n the st eet."
The ew YIorker drew his con-
lusions nd thought it would be a
harp thing to take that mine in him -
"I've found a customer, old fellow,"
e said, and ea erly drew a check for

$10,000, professing to have found a cus-
tomer and made a nest turn on pomm is-
sion. "Bring along some nacre mines and
let me sell them for yout," he added.
"You seal have facilitieri which yon
have not. We'll go round and , fix up
the deeds,"
The Nevaclian took the Check, folded
it up, and remarked :
"Now, I hope you've sold that mine
ou the square and not got too mnch for
it. It is worth 010,000 as a fair specu-
lation."
The two men parted forgood a couple
of days afterwards, and the New Yorker
came out last week with some experts
to visit the rich property, he had so
ehrewdly acquired. Arrivine at Pyra-
mid he asked for the Gold t'Run Con -
• "No such a mine," was the reply he
got everywhere. _
"Great Ceesar1 I've bought the claim
and paid $10,000 for it."
"Got bit, sure."
"A man showed nie a map. Here it
is," aud the New Yorker pulled out the
map which he had received from the
A crowd of Pyramiders gathered
round and laughed uproariously.
"That's old Sawyer's work. Oh, he's
a smart one."
Just then Old Sawyer, the foremost
citizen of the district ' and, as innocent
an. old mine owner as the coast ever
produced, came up and looked over the
map -
"It ain't correct, old hoss," he said,
addressing the New Yorker. "Too many
ore bodies put in."
"But there's no shaft, no. machinery,
no mine!" roared the naafi from Wall
• "Well," replied old Sawyer,reflective-
ly, "I don't see how you can scour. The
fellows who bought it are the ones to
kick. You got a handsome commission
you know."
"But the samples run up to $1,500."
"Salted."
"Don't you know you said a man
couldn'tebe too tricky in selling a mine
on Wall street ?" inquired. old Sawyer,
and only a true Christian, such as are
reared in Pyramid District, can under-
stand the feelings of pious'elation which
Brother Sawyer experienced as the gen-
tleman from Wall street, accompanied
by •his experts, drove furiously off for
Reno, blasting the blossoming sage-
brush along the route with their fiery
language.
Origin of T.wo Popular Poems.
Hood's touching lyric, " The Song of
the Shirt," was the work of an evening.
Its author was prompted to write it lay
the condition of thousands of working -
women in the city of London. The ef-
fect of its produCtion was foreseen by
two persons, the poet's wife and Mark
Lemon, the editor of Punch.
"Now, mind, Tom—mind my words,"
said his devoted wife ; "this will tell
wonderfully. It is ohe of the best things
you ever did."
Mr, Lemon, looking over his letters
one morning, opened au envelope, in -
closing a poem which the writer said
had been rejected by three London
journals. He begged the editor te con-•
sign it to the waste basket, if it was not
thought suitable for Punch, as the au-
thor was " sick of the sight of it." The
poem was signed Tom Hood, and. was
entitled " The Song of the Shirt."
It was submitted to the weekly meet-
ing of the editors and weekly contribu-
tors, several of whom opposed its pub-
lication as unsuitable to the pages of
a comic journal. Mr. Lemon, however,
wa,s so firmly impressed with -its beauty
that he published it on, December 16,
" The Song of the Shirt trebled the
sale of the paper, and created a pro-
found sensation throughout Great Bri-
tain. People of every class were mov-
ed by it. It was ' chanted ley ballad
singers in the streets of Loiedon, and
drew tears from the eyes of i Princes.
Some years after the author's death
the English peaple erected a monu-
ment over his grave. The rich gave
guineas, the laborers and sewing wo-
men gave shillings and pence. Sculp-
tured ou it is the inscription devised
" The Old Oaken Bucket " was writ-
ten fifty or more years ago by a printer
named Samuel Woodworth. He was
in the habit of dropping into a noted

One day, after drinking ra , glass of
brandy and water, he smacked his lips
and declared that Mallory's brandy was •
superior to any drink he had ever
tasted.

taken. There was a drink in 'both

the river has but an average fall f less
