What nts are Held Out for the Tired Me At and Laboring Man, Horen Onueass, Senur Lake, Is., Aug, 11.—[Special Correspondence of ik Br, | — At the conclusion of that littie prose idyll of Bret Harte's, A Sappho of Green Spriugs,” tho elderly man who married the elderly and care-burdened poctess snswering the question as to what she intended doing next, says, with an vxpressive gesture toward a new-made erave: “Shell rest; that's what she'll do, rest.” And that's what we all should do, rest—we Ameri- cans, who, whatever our ancestry may ve, have quicksiver (n our blood— whether we get 1t from our poculiar and varied climatio conditions or from the fever- ish spirit of the age and country in which wo live—it is tbhere.

And a distinguished characteristio of this American 1s that he will not rest; he goes a-ploasuring and glves out that he intends 1o resi, but he doesu't; he ohases after pleas- ure with the sume zeal that he puts iuto his daily toll, A witty French writer “Eunghsh- mwen take their pleasure sadiy,” but Ameri- caus make @ business of their pleasure and thus lose sowe of its revivifylng effect Wo live too fast; tho rush and demauds of oue highly’ complicated eivilization, which, Gailbraith leaves for tho cast Welsh left will be Induce in muitiplying our desires, also multiplies our labors in gratifying the same, have pro duced an Edison, Morse and lesser lights by tho score, but we will not take an puace of proventaton, complete rest occfisionally. We are devitalizing the race and posterity may take the pound of cure ana endesvor to win back some of the ancestral brawn-—now becoming so scarce. But down here in Spirit Lake there are some favored mortals who are having the most that life gives, for a while, anyway. Travel a month of Sundaye and you cannot find a more beautiful spot. First, there is the Hotel Orleans, a large roomy structure containing 250 rooms, every nook and cranny of which is full at present. From the train it rises intojview, a restful-looking building with pyramidal towers, ail painted a fant rose color, the monotony whereot is relieved by darker shados on door jambs and window frames and by tho green screens. All around the building runs a broad and ample veranda, whore people sit and walk children play. There is a fine lawn, inter- sected with devious ways and planted with beds of flowers of all shapes and hues, stars, crescents, circles, rhomboids, and most beau- tiful of all, a whole canoe full to overflowing of scarlet geraniums. The lake is a beautiful sheet of transiucent green water, having an area of five square miles, a depth of thirty foet and a fine pobbly beach. The lawn. plentifully bedecked with shide trees, slopes gently down to this beach. There is a neat littlo steamer, the Queen, which sails atound the lake every two or three hours, aad from which you can eujoy to the full the beautiful scenery from the groves which surround the hotel on all sides 1o the gently rolling hills, tree-crowned, and the lake itself, dimpled with waves like some beautiful mirror framed iu a foliage of living green, The beach is a paradise for the children; they dabble in the water and scroam to their hearts’ content and nobody says “‘aon’t” to them, and our littie Omaha lads and lasses aro 1n everything, you may be sure. Thore is boating and fishing to your heart’s content, and there's bathing—lots of it, and billiards, and tennis, and shooting, “when there's anything to shoot,” the mana- gor said, and Omaba gossip, and music, and two aress balls a week, and informal danclog overy might, ana lastly—fiicting. Only adearth of men makes this pasttime rathor tame for the lords of oreation and too exciting for tho girls. When there are not enough guests the manager always accommo- dates the girls, and ho savs there are scores of pretty ones here. There is plenty of driving, the village of Spirit Lake, a few miles away, having an excollent livery ser- vico with not unreasonable prices. There's a band here which discourses good music be- times. ‘Ihere is likewise a building called Grace chapel, into which I sought entrance, but the doors were fast locked; here the re- ligious-minded can retire to pray.

Sterling of Wick- liffe, Ky., will be of special interest to me- chanics, many of whom have had & similar experience, “I am @ cooper by trade, and for many years worked in Chicago. About twelve months ago Ihad an attack of diarrhcea, which became chrouic. I was treated by two prominent phvsicians of Chicago, but from them received no permanent benefit, 1 then went to Texas where | was again treated by a leading physician with results sunilar to thosel had proviously experi- enced. 1In May I came to Wickliffe, Ky., in a very debilitated - condition, consequent upon this long continued trouble.

Rosh in” to Mel Angles Fear to A lady, wife of a gentleman in an influential position, says the Brandon V1, Banner, chanced to meet at a purty it o person who had a great re- on 48 an amatuer soothsayor. **Oh, just tell me my fortune. id, jocularly. I'd rather not,” replied the fortune teller, after looking steadfastly at her for a little tame; *‘I’d rather not it would disconcert you terribly.” The lady urged her request neverthe- vsics “Where ” she 88, ‘Then,” the soothsayer continued, m_sorry to tell you that I am afraid that in three months you will be a widow, and that in six months you will be mad.” I'he lady told her husband, who soon fell itl and died, while the other part of the prophecy was to some extent ver- ified. I have called this incident peculiar, but there 1s in it, at any rate, some di- rect connection between the cause and the effect. The man during his illness would certainly *be depressed by the prophecy that he could not recover, and the same fact would affect his wife. Imagination, which is more potent than medicine, was set to work against the couple. That not only explains a mys- tery in some degree, but it illustrates tho need for imaginative people to be careful how they handle occult subjects, —— Jedge Waxem's Political Proverbs, Detroit Free Press short crop of politicks, A statesman that stays pore aught never o be out ov a job. “tlonerable,” before some men’s nawmes, don’t kno what it is thar fer, A politishan that kin lie and wount, is kep purly bizzy exercising his ability.

He lived in good style in a handsome house, and Mattie was generally under- s8tood to be as wall off in money matters as sho was attractive in parson and win - ning in mannera. She visited in the most fashionable circles and was rather noted for her pretty toilets and the number of her beaux. Mattie had, however, made her choice. Unreservedly she had given her affec- tions to Mark Taylor, a young man of no particular family, but of handsome exterior and fair business prospects. Many, indeed, wondered at the major sanctioning the match; but there are always reasons within reasons, and the poor father had his private motives for forwarding the views of the man who seomed most in earnest about marrying Mattie, But before Mattie’s protty wardrobe was finished, and while the lovers were yet undecided as to whuether the we ding was to bo a public or a private one, Major Darley was found dead in bed one morning, and the house of pleasant an- ticipations became a house of mourning. This was but the boginning of Mattie’s troubles. Vague but terrible rumors of suicide and ruin began to be heard, and Mattio, even in the first gush of sympa- thy for her desolate condition, could foel that indefinable something which ex- pressed disapprobation as well as pity; and after the funeral was over she was quite sensible that her acquaintances aud friends were ready to stand aloof from her at the first good opportunity. The world, upon the whole, is not flagrantly unjust; it thought it had good reason for its disapprobation. Major Darley had done wrong; he had squan- dered money not his own; and poverty and dishonor it refuses to sanction. Tn the muin it is right. And when Mattie knew all and knew also that it was gen- lly believed that her father had slunk into the grave because he was afraia to face the wrong he had done, she did not much blame the world. She kaew it must judge men and women on general rules. But she did blame Mark, for he had no such excuse. Hehad made particu- lar promises to her and her alone. But when misfortune does not strengthen love it kills it; and before Major Darley was in his grave Mark’s behdvior had lost something of its respect, and he soon became querulous and inattentive, Mattie did not hesitate long. JIn a few dignified lines she gave him his di missal, and it was ecooly accepted, with a very unmanly and ‘ungenerous reflec- tion upon the dead. Then the poor girl began seriously to consider her future.’ There was abso- lutely nothing for hetbut the furniture of the house in which she lived, and the half-and-half invitations which she had received from her two'nunts to make her home for a time with them. One had a large fumily and Jfived in a pretty Jersey village; the otWer was gn invalid and traveled a groat doal. She suld the furniture at auction, puid out of it her father’s: funeral expenses and found that she had about $1,600 left. Upon the whole, the invalid aunt seemed the most desirable, and she ac- cepted her invitation first. It was the beginning of summer, and Mrs. Dayton was going to Burope *‘for her health,” Mattio was to go with her, but it was notuntil’ everything was arranged that Mattie found she was expected to pay her own passage. She drew $400 and went to sea with a heavy heart, The next six months were a simple record of an imaginary invalid’s whims and unreasonable tyranny; and Mattie took under these circumstances her first lessons in that koowledge which teaches— *‘How salt the savor is of others’ bread ! How hard the passage to descend and climb By others’ stairs!" And in spite of all Mattie’s efforts and humiliation, she did not please. Mrs. Dayton and her niece parted at last on very bad terms. She had still $900, and she found her- self, one morning in June, in a New York boarding houss, usking her heart twenty times an hour: **What shall Ido with it?” One morning she lifted a puper and eagerly ran her eyes over the *Wante.” This paragraph supplied her with the idea on which reste prosperous fortune: Wantod—A thoroughly artistic, profes- sional cook. A liberal salary given aud two assistants allowed. Apply, ete. Now, if there was one thing for which, Mattie had a natural aptitude, it was the making of delicacies and the beautiful ment of a table, should I not learn this thing?” she said. I will see about it.” She had to make many a fruitless walk and to bear a good deal of imperti- nent curiosity before she found what she wanted—a professional cook, willing to improve the secrets of his art for an equivalent in cash. Even then he could not take her until the winter season made grand dinners in demand, and Mattie was forced to content herself with an engagement to the great artist in the following Octo- ber. Did she live on hersmall means in the wterval? She took a situation as sales- woman in a retail store, and immediatoly began to sell trimmifrs and laces. Not unfrequently she had walt on ladies at whose houses sh ad visited and with whom she haa uently spent the morning shopping nd Righteen months bofere. Some igndred the fact and treated her as a simple shop-girl, and some spoke to hér iy that tone of con- strained kindness qu\ harder to bear. Others whispered toy gheir companions, as they passed, hor 1ime and reverses: but, after all, she Wi amazed to find how little these lllil'?,’ hurt her, Still she was hone sl‘!y glad one morn- ing to receive a note from Prof. Deluce, requesting her gerviegs. In a plain,neat dress, with her lar, apron and linen sleeves in her satcpel, she entered at daylight one of the prineipal hotels and took her way resoiutely to the pro- fessor’s rooms. Heset her to work with a very fow words, and day after day, week after week, she assisted him in the production of the most wonderful dinners and suppers. ‘When the winter was over the pro- fessor was willing to-éndorse his pupil in all things, and he offered to secure her a position for the summer months. Mattie very gratefully accepted his of- fer, and in’'a few aays he was able to make an engagement for her at a fash- ionable summer hotel, She was to have $1,000 for the seuson and two assistants, For five years Mattie spent her sum- mers at this hotel, and ner winters with some private family, making about 81,500 a year and saving nuul{ every dollar of it. For she had in view the opening of a large private hotel, and she knew that in order to get the neces- a very how to do “This very day 18! IXTEEN PAGES. sary funds she must herself bo willing to risk a respectable sum. S0 she wus patient and industrious, and the day on which she was 80 vears of age saw her the mistross of a maguificently furnished mansion, eve room of which had been taken before it was opened. For by this time Mattie’s skill was well known to wealthy cures, and it was considerod somathing of a privilege to sit at a table she pros vided for or live in a house she ordered. But though obliged now to dress as becomes the lady of such a house, she noever relaxed her patient attention to tho smallest details of her duty, and her bonrders know that the ologantly dressed woman who presided at the table had been hours beforo in a linen blouse and a cap husy among her bright saucopans for their benefit and enjoyment, and the knowledgoe detracted nothing from the respoct and admiration everyone de- lighted to give hor In three years Mattie had paid off the last cent of the money shedrad bor- rowed in order to start hor enterprise, and thenceforward she began to make mo and save money for Mattie Darley alone. She was ‘still handsome and had many admirers, but she was of that order of women who love once and no more, and many things about Mar desertion of her had left a sting in her huart which no future love could extract. She did not know whether he remem- bered her or not; she had heard, while in Kurope, that he was going to ma an old companion of hers, but that wi tweolve years ago, and twolve yon: rolled in between two lives geneorally effectually separate them. When she was 86 years of age and a 1 woman she had an offer of marvinge. She refusea it, bat the circumstances sot her thinking about Mark in a very persistent manner. She determined to make some cautious inquiries about him; sho was tooold now for him to attribute any silly motive to her. The resolution ran in her mind for two or three day: and she determined one afternoon to go and find out an old friend likely to be famiiar with Mark’s doings, But whileshe was dressing an Inglish nobleman came to rent a suite of rooms and was so full of crotchets and orders that sho thought it best to remain in the house. He was very peculiar and insisted upon having all his menls in his own room, but as he paid extravagantly for the privilage and kept his own servant to attend upon him, Mattie thought it worth her while to humor so good a guest. She soon found, however, this strange sorvant a very. unoasy element in her kitchen affaira. In a week her own maids were at oven war with him; and she heard so much about his delightful singing and elegant manners that her curiosity was somewhat excited. One morning, as she was coming down stairs, dressed to go out, she saw the wine col- i of my lord’s servant coming toward her with a tray containing deli- cacies for his master’s breakfast. As they passed each other Mattie looked steadil the man’s f and saw Mark ] gnized her in the samo mo- ment, but with the instinct of alittle mind pretended not to know her. After his stare and silence there was nothing left for M ttie to She had been Mark had left my lord’s service. It might be four years after this ovent that Mattie one ¢ day re- ceived a letier which g y agitated hor. She was a ve y woman now, and though she still kept her hotel she also kept her private carringe. After half an hour’s troubled and uncer- tain thought, she ordered it, and greatly tothe amazement of her servant re- quested to be driven to a very disreput- able part of the city. It was hard for the vehicle to make its way to the wretched tenement she indicated, and Mattie’s heart sunk at the filthy, slushy court, and dark, noisome stairs before her. I might say that love made her re- gardless of these things, but that would not ba true. There was no love in Mat- tie’s heart now for Mark Taylor, but his note had said he was dying, and she had not found herself able to refuse his last request. Indeed, she had doubted him now, for during the past two years ho bad’ begged money from . under overy possible pretext; and there was now more fear and contempt in her pity for her old lover than any lingering trace of affection. But this time he had told the truth. Mattie barely got there in time to hear his last words—a pathetic entreaty for a half-starved little lad sobbing his poor childish heart out for his dying father. The child loved Mark—that almost re- deemed Mark in Mattio’s eyes, She promised faithfully to bring up the boy as her own, and she kissed and for, at the last the poor, weak, hea man. After the miserably selfish failure of his life, it was something to die with hig child in his arms and the woman who had once loved him so dearly drop- ping tears upon his face and pray humbly for his peaco. So Mattie buried Mark and took to her home Mark’s little Roland. At first it was not altogether a pleasure. love for other people’s children an instinet. But Roland had a hs some person and bright, bold manners, Ho won his way surely and rapidly, and Mattie, in his case, made truo the sar- casm of a proverb, for this *‘old maid’s bairn was well taught and well bred.” About live vears after Mark’s death Mattie sold her business and bought the loveliest of lovely farms. She came to the country with the intention of taking life easy and enjoying the fruits of her twenty years of hard though pleasant lubor. But Mattie can’t help making money, and her berries and vines, her milk ‘apd butter and grains are the wonder of the country, When anyone in our little community is s or blue or tired, we go to see Mattie; when the chureh or the Sunduy school wants a AMUSEMENTS.

A Wonderful Machine Invented by a Cin- clnnatian, A wonderful machine, which is des tinod to revolutionize the manufacture of tin, sheet iron and brass hollowware, has been doveloped and matured by a Cincinnati man, after three years of constant study and labor without any one dreataing of the influsnce which this invention will exort on this im- mense indus Much has been said and written of late, says the Cincinnati Commercial, with regard to the manu- facture of American tin and the relative cost of production of any article of everyday house- bold use in this lire, and the fact romains that at present the only reason of the incronsed cost of produc- tion of manufactured tinw is that the work, as done by hand, as it is at pres- ent, by spinning joints and rims of such articles as cups, pails, packing cans, ete., require a higher standard of wages than those paid in England, where the strongest competion comes from. DBut the advent of this machine, the work of J. R Paddock, of this city, into the field will, according to tho inventor, knock down all the barrier sed by English competition, and lessen the cost of pro- duction of tinware over one-hulf. Up to about three years ago Mr, Pad- dock was a partner in the business of J. M. Robinson & Co., in the manufacture of dies and presses for sheet motal work- ing, and by his long service and great experience in this especial business be- port in the making and do- signing of steam presses, During the close of his connection with the firm he becameo earnestly interested in the schemo of cheapeaing American manu- factured tin plate, and as his line of business was in direct harmony with the movement he set his brains to work to study out a scheme whoreby the cost of manufacturing houschold arvti- cles could be materially reduced. His flrst thought was to perfect a die for shaping, edging and seaming the blank pieces of tin at one stroke of a press, thus turn- ing out n complote utensil at every stroke of the machine. His first exper- iments were made with defective mate rinl, and were naturally discoura ging but by calculating the pressure used AMUSEMENTS. and the relative resistanco used in the dies, ho ot last succcoded in making them to his satisfactionalthough at that timo he could only join the flat picces of tin together, but” the joint was made s0 nearly perfoct and 8o~ practicably in- dostruct|blo that, it cloarly showed to this anxious mind the groat possibilitios of his schemeo. So he at once set to Work Lo construct a pross that would ho capable of taking blank piccos of tin, and at ono stroke of the dio form a complete hollow vessel, Ho went to Bridgeport, , to tha works of the IMarrecute Press compiny, and thero spent over n year in the build« ing and porfecting of his machine,which was finully accomplished, a fow weoks ago, and the machine shipped to Cine cinnati, where it now lies at the works of the Standard Radial Drill company, in Covington. The machine is of . the upright pattern, and stands ahout seven feet six inches h The work is first laid on o table, which travels with each stroke from under the die to tha ope tor, 80 as to facilitate the putting in and taking out of work As soon as the work I8 placed on thae table and the lover prossed to start tha machine in motion two steel jaws ¢losa upon it trom each side to support it in nce and presorve tho shape of tha 1d 18 soon as the jaws close the upper dio driven by a_crank and a cam connected with the fly wheel descends and in a second’s time complotes a vos. sel that would vequire nearly an hour's work by a good tinnor. The pressure is nutomatically withdrawn by the cam and as the dio raises the side jaws unlock,the table swings outward and the operator removes the produtt us another mon places more metarial on the table, and the machine onco more performs its almost human duty perfectl chine is capable of nearly twenty pr sures a minute, thus doing in a minute timo that which would require a man’s time nearly half a day. Any kind of pliablé metal can be used in the machine, and anything of uny shape whatsoover can in a momont's time be transformed from a blank piece of metal into a perfoct utonsil, ready without any soldering whatsoever for immediate u: and by the tom of curling and joining usod by the monster, leakage is impossible, as after the pres- sure of the die is removed the joint is so powerfully wedgod togethor by simply curling that 1t is practically one piccs and cannot be torn apart. ——— Iden tor a Patent arker, The expense of a funeral in a .large city has grown to sach proportions that the averago man commits more extrava- ganco in the act of dying than he ever did during life.
