AN EVENING CLOUD. 
BY E. C. WILBUR. 
How light yon pearly cloud doth lie 
Upon the tranquil evening sky; 
Like some lair spirit resting there. 
Above all earthly toil and care; 
It seems to court* the star of Love, 
That shineth through the vault above. 
And peeping forth in beauty bright, 
Would seem to say, fair cloud good-night, 
Good-night, but ere thou pnsseth by. 
To ride thy journey through the sky, 
Accept the ardent rays I throw. 
And shrine them in thy breast of snow. 
Avon, N. Y., 1851. 
THE MECHANIC’S HOME. 
One evening - , in the early part of the 
winter, the door-bell rang with energy, and 
the servant announced a man who wished 
to see me. “ A man’ 
servant, “gentleman,” another, a “person” 
something different from either. The man 
stood in the hall, but I wondered why he 
<* had not been called a gentleman. I was 
/ puzzled where to place him myself. His 
) dress was very neat, but plain, and rather 
coarse. Ilis linen, that badge of refine- 
| ment, was white, in perfect order, and al- 
i most elegant Every thing about him 
J seemed substantial; but nothing gave a clue 
i to his position in life. In all outward seem- 
I ing, he was simply a man. When he 
’ spoke to me, his address was simple, clear, 
direct, and with a certain air of self-reliance, 
the furthest possible from a vulgars bluster. 
“ Doctor,” he said, “I wish you would 
go and see my child. We fear he is threat¬ 
ened with croup.” 
This case, which he described as we 
went along, was a pretty clear one, and I 
hurried my walk still more, and in a few 
moments we were at the door. We went 
up, up, up, to the fourth story. The last 
flight of stairs was carpeted, and a small 
lamp at the top lighted us up. An excel¬ 
lent and very durable kind of mat lay at 
the door. You will see, in time, why I 
give these little particulars. 
I entered the opened door, and was wel- 
I \ corned by a rather pretty and remarkably 
tidy woman, who could have been nodody 
in the world but the wife of the man who 
had summoned me. 
“l am glad you have come so soon,” she 
said, in a soft, pure accent. “Little Wil¬ 
liam seems so distressed that he can hardly 
breathe;” and the next moment, as we 
passed through a narrow passage where he 
lay, I heard the unmistakable croupy sound, 
that justly carries such terror to the pa¬ 
rent’s heart. 
“Is it the croup, Doctor?” asked the fa¬ 
ther, with a voice of emotion, as I bent over 
the child—a fine boy, three years of ao - e. 
“ It is certainly the croup,” I said, “and 
a pretty violent attack. How long is it 
since you thought him sick?” 
“Hot above an hour,” was the calm re 
ply. It was made calm by a firm self-con¬ 
trol. I looked at the mother. She was 
very pale, but did not trust herself to speak. 
“Then there is probably but little dan 
ger,” I said; “ but we have something to 
do. Have you the water here ?” 
The husoand went to what seemed a 
closet, opened two doors, and disclosed a 
neat pine bathing-tub, supplied with the 
Croton. This was beyond my hopes: but 
I had no time to wonder. The little fellow 
was in a high fever, and laboring for every 
breath. Taking him from his little crib, 
where he lay upon a nice hair mattress, fit 
for a prince to sleep on, I took off his clean- 
night-clothes, stood him in the bath tub, 
and made his father pour full upon his 
neck and chest three pails of cold water, 
while I rubbed them briskly with my hand, 
hie was then wiped dry, and rubbed until 
his whole body was glowing like a llame. 
Then I wrung a large towel out of cold 
water and put it round his throat, and then 
The white window-curtains were shilling! 
muslin; but their folds hung as richly as 1 
if they were damask—and how very ap¬ 
propriate they seemed! The bath, with its 
snug folding doors, I knew, had not cost 
plumber’s bill and all, more than ten dol¬ 
lars. I he toilet table, of an elegant form, 
and completely covered, 1 had no doubt 
was of pine, and cost half a dollar. The 
pictures on the wall were beautifully-tinted 
lithographs—better, far better, than oil 
paintings I have seen in the houses of mil¬ 
lionaires; yet they can be bought at Gou- 
pil’s, or William’s, or Stevens, for three to 
live shillings, and a dollar apiece had fram¬ 
ed them. The floor had a carpet that 
seemed to match everything, with its small, 
neat figure, and a light chamber color. It 
was a jewel of a room, in as perfect keep¬ 
ing in all its parts as if’ an artist had de¬ 
signed it. 
Leaving the little boy to his untroubled 
sleep, and giving directions for his bath on 
his waking, we went into the other room, 
which was differently, but just as neatly 
arranged. It might have answered for a 
parlor, only it had a cooking-stove, for an 
artist s study, or a dining-room. It was 
l> u "g w ^th pictures—heads, historical pieces, 
and landscapes; all such as a man of 
taste could select and buy cheap; but which 
like good books, are invaluable. And speak¬ 
ing of books, there was a hanging librarv 
on one side of the chimney, which a single 
glance assured me contained the very choi- 1 
cost treasures of the English tongue. 
I he man went to a bureau, opened a 
drawer, and took out some monev. 
“ What is your fee, Doctor?” he asked, 
holding the bills so as to select one to pay 
not our home—the home we wanted—so 
we determined to set up housekeeping. It 
was rather a small set up, but we made it 
answer. I spent a week in house-hunting. 
Some were too dear, some too shabby. At 
last I found this place. It was new and 
clean, high and airy, and I thought it would 
do. I got it for fifty dollars a year—and 
though the rents all round advanced, our 
landlord is satisfied with that, or takes it in 
preference to risking a worse tenant. The 
place was naked enough, and we had little 
to put in it save ourselves; but we went 
cheerfully to work, earned all we could 
saved all we could,—and you see the re¬ 
sult.” 
“I see; but I confess I do not under¬ 
stand it,” said I willing to hear him explain 
the economies of this modest and beautiful 
home. 
“ Well it is simple enough. When Mary 
and I moved ourselves here and took pos¬ 
session, with a table, two chairs, a cooking 
stove, a saucepan or two, and a cot bed with 
a straw mattress, the first thing we did was 
to hold a council of war. ‘ Now Marv, my 
love,’ said I, ‘Here we are. We have 
next to nothing, and we have every thing to 
get, and nobody but ourselves to help our¬ 
selves.’ 
“ We found that we could 
riety. For the rest, we eat greens, vege¬ 
tables, fruit and berries in their season. In 
the summer we have strawberries and 
peaches, as soon as they are lipe and good. 
Mary will get up a dinner from these ma¬ 
terials at a cost of a shilling, better than 
the whole bill-of-fare at the Astor.” 
I was satisfed. Here was comfort, inti 1- 
r 11 
Now, I had made up mv mind, before I 
had got half way up the stairs, that I might 
have to wait for my pay—perhaps never 
get it; but all this had changed I could not, 
as I often do, inquire into the circumstan¬ 
ces of the man, and graduate my price ac¬ 
cordingly. There he stood ready to pay 
me, with money enough; yet it was evident 
that he was a working man, and far from 
wealthy. I had nothing left but to name 
the lowest fee. 
“One dollar does not seem enough,” said 
he. “ You have saved my child’s life, and 
have been at more trouble than to merely 
write a prescription.” 
“ Do you work for your living?” I asked 
hoping to solve the mystery. 
He smiled and held out his hand, which 
showed the unquestionable marks of honest 
toil. 
“You are a mechanic? 
to know more of him. 
“Take that,” he said, placing a two dol¬ 
lar note in my hand, with a not-to-be-refus- 
ed ait, ‘ and I will gratify your curiosity; 
for there is no use in pretending that you 
I said, willing 
wrapped him up in blankets. The* brave 
little fellow had borne it all without a com¬ 
plaint, as if he understood that under his 
father’s eye no harm could come to him. 
In fifteen minutes after lie was wrapped in 
the blankets lie was in a profuse perspira¬ 
tion, in a sound slumber, and breathing 
freely. The danger was over—so rapid is 
this disease and so easily cured. Happi¬ 
ness had shed a serene light upon the coun¬ 
tenance of the father, and thrown over the 
mother’s face a glow of beauty. I looked 
upon them, and was more than ever puz- 
' zled where to place them.—There was no 
marks of high birth or superior breeding— 
not a shadow of decayed gentility about 
them. It was rather the reverse, as if they 
were working up from a low rank of life to 
a higher. 
I looked around the room. It was the 
bed-room. Every thing in it was perfect¬ 
ly neat and orderly. The bed, like the crib, 
was excellent, but not costly. The white 
counterpane did not cost more than ten 
shillings—yet how beautiful it looked! 
are not a little curious. 
There was a hearty, respectful freedom 
about this that was irresistible. I put the 
note in my pocket, and the man going to a 
door, opened it into a closet of moderate 
size, and displayed the bench and tools of a 
shoemaker. 
You must be an extraordinary work¬ 
man,” said I, looking around the room, 
which seemed almost luxurious; but when 
I looked at each item I found that it cost 
very little. 
A o, nothing extra, I barely manage to 
earn a little over a dollar a doy. Mary 
helps me some. With the housework to do, 
and our boy to look after, she earns enough 
to make our wages average eight dollars a 
week. We began with nothing—we live as 
you see.” 
All this comfort, this respectablity, this 
almost luxury, for eight dollars a week! I 
expressed my surprise. “ I should be very 
sorry if we spent so much,” said he. “ We 
have not only managed to live on that, but 
we have something laid up in the savinn-’s 
bank.” 6 
“ Will you have the goodness,” said I, 
“just to explain to me how you do it?” 
“ With pleasure,” he replied; “ for you 
may persuade others, no better off than 1 
am to make the best of their situation.” 
“ % name,” he said, “is William Carter. 
My father died when I was young, and I 
was bound out an apprentice to a shoema¬ 
ker, with the usual provisions of schoolino-. 
1 did as well as boys do generally at school, 
and as I was very fond of reading, I made 
the most of my spare time and the advan¬ 
tages of the Apprentices’ Library. Proba¬ 
bly the books that helped me most were the 
sensible writings of William Cobbett. Fol¬ 
lowing - his example, I determined to give 
myself a useful education, and I have to 
some extent; ucceeded. But a man’s edu¬ 
cation is a life-long process; and the more 
I learn, the more I see before me. 
“1 was hardly out of my time when 1 
fell in love with my Mary there, whom some 
people think very pretty, but whom I know 
to be very good.” 
Mary looked up with such a bright, lov¬ 
ing smile as to fully justify some people in 
their action. 
earn on an 
average, eight dollars a week. Wh deter¬ 
mined to live as cheaply as possible, save all 
ae could, and make us a home. Our rent 
was one dollar a week—our fuel, light, wa¬ 
ter-rent, and some little matters a dollar 
more. We have allowed the same amount 
lor our clothing, and by buying the best 
things, and keeping them carefully, we 
dress well enough lor that. Even my wife 
is satisfied with her wardrobe, and finds that 
raw silk at six shillings a yard is cheaper, 
in the long run, than calico at one shilling 
I hat makes three dollars a week, and we 
had still our living to pay for. That cost 
us, with three in our family, just one dollar 
a week more.” 
“ One dollar apiece ?” 
“ No —one dollar for all. You seem sur¬ 
prised; but we have reckoned it over and 
over. It cost more at first, but now we 
have learned to live both better and cheap¬ 
er—so that we have a clear surplus of four 
dollars a week, after paying all expenses of 
rent, fire, light, water, clothing and food.— 
I do not count our luxuries, such as an 
evening at the theatre, at a concert, or a 
little treat to our friends when we give a 
party.” 
I know a smile came over my face, for 
he continued: 
“ Yes, give a party; and we have some 
pleasant ones, 1 assure you. Sometimes 
we have a dozen guests, which is quite 
enough for comfort, and our treat of choco¬ 
late, cakes, blanc-mange, etc., costs as much 
as two dollars; but this is not very often. 
Out of our surplus, which comes, you see, 
to two hundred dollars a year—we have 
bought all you see, and have money in the 
bank.”

THE TREE PUZZLE. 
The following ingenious puzzle from the Boston 
Journal] was published in our last volume. It is 
republished with Nilla’s solution which will I Burfall Reaper'and'Yffie^dThoT^hemin BurraB 
entertain all our young friends who are studying ' Rea P fer * superior. 
Botany. 
“ VY hen I had been one year a journey¬ 
man, and laid up a few dollars (for I had a 
strong motive to be saving,) we were mar¬ 
ried. I boarded at her father’s and she 
bound shoes for the shop where I worked. 
We lived a few weeks at home; but it was 
“ I see it all,” said I—“all but the living. 
Many a mechanic spends more than that 
for cigars, to say nothing of liquor. Pray 
tell me precisely how you live.” 
“ With pleasure. First of all, then, I 
smoke no cigars and chew no tobacco, and 
Mary takes no snuff.” 
Here the pleasant smile came in, but 
there was no interruption; for Mary seemed 
to think her husband knew what he was 
about, and could talk very well without her 
aid. 
“ I have not drank a glass of liquor since 
the day I was married, except a glass of 
wine about four times a year, on Christ¬ 
mas, New Year’s, Fourth of July, and Wil¬ 
liam’s birth-day. The last is our especial 
holiday. I have read enough physiology 
to make up my mind that tea and coffee 
contained no nutriment, and were poisons 
beside; and I tried a vegetable diet lono- 
enough to like it better than a mixed one, 
and 1 find that it agrees with me better; 
and as we have read and experimented to¬ 
gether, of course Mary thinks as I do.” 
“ But what do you eat and drink ?” I ask¬ 
ed, curious to see how far this self-taught 
philosopher had progressed in the laws of 
health. 
“ Come this way, and I will show you,” 
he said; taking a light and leading the way 
into a capacious store room. “ Here, first 
of all, is a mill, which cost me twelve shil¬ 
lings. It grinds all my grain; gives me the 
freshest and most beautiful meal, and saves 
tolls and the profits. This is a barrel of 
wheat. I buy the best, and am sure that 
it is clean and good. It costs less than 
three cents a pound, and a pound of wheat a 
day, you know, is food enough for any man. 
We make it into bread, mush, pies, and 
cakes. Here is a barrel of potatoes. This 
is hominy. Here are some beans, a box of 
tapioca, macaroni. Here is a barrel of ap¬ 
ples, the best I can -find in Fulton Market. 
Here is a box of sugar, and this is our but¬ 
ter-jar. We take a quart of country milk 
a day; I buy the rest down town, by the 
box or barrel, where I can get the best and 
cheapest. Making wheat—eaten as mush 
or bread, and all made coarse, without bolt¬ 
ing, and potatoes, or hominy, or rice, the 
staple, you can easily see that a dollar a 
week for provision is not only ample, but 
allows of a healthy, and even luxurious va-

And the tree that is nearest the sea, 
The most yielding tree, the busiest tree, 
And the tree where ships may be? 
The languishing tree—the least selfish tree;

And the tree like an Irish nurse? 
What is the tell-tale tree, and the tratlor tree, 
And the tree which is warmest clad;

And the tree that makes one sad?

What’s the tree that to travel invites you.

sustains; 
What tree urged the Germans in vengeance to 
rise, 
And fight for the victims in tyranny slain?

you: 
The tree that never stands still; 
The tree that got up, and the tree that is lazy, 
And the tree neither up nor down hill? 
The tree to be kissed, and the dandiest tree. 
And what guides the ships to go forth; 
The tree of the people, the unhealthiest tree, 
And the tree whose wood faces the North? 
The emulous tree, the industrious tree. 
The tree which warms mutton when cold, 
The reddish brown tree, the reddish blue tree, 
And what each must become when he’s old? 
The tree in a bottle, the tree in a fog, 
The tree that gives the joints pain; 
The terrible tree when schoolmasters flog. 
What of mother and child bears the name? 
The treacherous tree, the contemptible tree, 
And that to which wives are inclined; 
The tree which causes each townsman to flee, 
And what round fair ancles they bind?
