MY SISTER. 
BY J . C . M 1 L L K R . 
I had a little fcister once, 
A blue-eyed, laughing maid, 
How blest is every spot, where I 
With that dear sister, played 1 
The garden, where we watched ihe flowers 
Unfold their petals fair, 
How oft I seek its rosy bowers 
As if to meet Iter there ! 
The spring, which gushes cold and clear 
From out the steep hill side, 
Whence, stealing softly through the fields 
Its limpid waters glide; 
How oft I gaze into its depths 
And fancy I can trace, 
Reflected there, as long ago, 
Her gleeful, roguish face I 
I wander through the sylvan aisles 
Of forests dark and dim, 
And on my ear, in cadence sweet. 
Falls nature’s pealing hymn. 
But every note thrills through my heart, 
And blinding tear-drops fall, 
For she is dead, whose bird-like laugh, 
Was sweeter than them all. 
One sunny day in early spring, 
We wandered, hand in hand, 
In search of pretty stones and shells, 
Along the ocean strand. 
We climbed a rock to pluck a flower, 
And standing there, we spied 
Another, blooming far below, 
Swayed by the rising tide. 
We scrambled down the shelving cliff— 
My sister was before; 
She stretched her hand to snatch the flower, 
And, reeling, toppled o’er! 
One parting look she bent on me. 
And then the flashing wave 
Closed o’er her form, for I, alas! 
I had no power to save. 
Far down beneath the glassy brine 
She sleeps a dreamless sleep. 
While o’er her head former swells 
The music of the deep! 
The flowers she loved still brightly bloom, 
But bloom for her no more,— 
She wanders free ’mong fairer flowers 
On heaven’s eternal shore!

THE USURER AND HIS VICTIM. 
BY MRS. M. W. H. 
MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YO RKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
dustrious and enterprising, he was for a time 
eminently successful. At what he considered a 
favorable moment, he invested most of his prop¬ 
erty in real estate, which was at that time rap¬ 
idly rising in value. Sharing in the spirit of im¬ 
provement which characterized the times and 
place, he had recourse to bank accommoda¬ 
tions to continue and carry out his plans. This 
answered his purpose for a while, but then 
came a change—a blighting change—in the 
financial affairs of the country, and many, very 
many, who believed themselves rich, inevitably 
sunk to “poor man’s estate.” Real estate 
shared in the general depression; and Mr. R., 
buoyed up by the hope of better prospects 
when the crisis should have passed, and un¬ 
willing to sell his property at such depreciated 
value, had recourse to Mr. Shrub, who kept 
an office, and made a business of “shaving 
notes,” and granting loans on short dates for a 
very high rate of interest. Mr. R. made some 
arrangements by which he obtained the requi¬ 
site amount Circumstances, and the state of 
business generally, induced him to continue 
this method of obtaining temporary relief 
during two or three years, paying Mr. Siirub 
hundreds of dollars for extra interest living in 
the belief that a favorable change would occur 
—every month losing more and more of the 
power to control his own affairs. 
Previous to Mr. R.’s first application to Mr. 
Shrub, he had commenced a manufacturing 
business with another individual, who mort¬ 
gaged his share to obtain the means of carry¬ 
ing on their operations. The business went 
on,—Mr. R. lessened his liabilities to a large 
In every community will be found men who 
have accumulated money, perhaps honestly, 
who possess an inordinate desire to increase it 
in the surest and most rapid manner possible, 
and too often resort to means for the accom¬ 
plishment of that end, regardless of the conse¬ 
quences to others. I will refer directly to the 
practice of “shaving notes,” and lending money 
on exorbitant interest — or, in other words, 
“ making other men’s necessities their opportu¬ 
nities.” To satisfy an elastic conscience, they 
say it is a strictly honest operation, because 
the borrower, or giver of a note, acts volunta¬ 
rily. Is this always the fact? Certainly not, 
for, in nine cases out of ten, the victim is so 
entangled in a mesh of circumstances, that he 
loses the actual control of his own affairs. 
I was about to suppose a case, but that is 
unnecessary, as instances similar to the follow¬ 
ing are not of rare occurrence, and serve to 
illustrate the operations of the system. 
Perhaps Mr. A., a worthy and industrious 
man, purchases of Mr. B. a small place, for 
which he pays four hundred dollars, and gives 
his note for one hundred more, payable in one 
year. The day arrives for its payment, and 
finds Mr. A. without the means to meet it.— 
Mr. B., unwilling to distress his debtor, and 
unable to do without the money, sells the de¬ 
mand to a “ note-shaver” for ninety dollars.— 
After the lapse of a few months, it is again 
presented for payment. Mr. A., still unable 
to pay it, is threatened with an execution; to 
avoid this, and purchase a still further re¬ 
prieve, he agrees to give his creditor a cow— 
perhaps the only one—in the hope that the 
business in which he is engaged will soon ena¬ 
ble him to pay the debt. But his customers 
fail to pay him, and another pay-day arrives, 
—another execution is threatened,—another 
reprieve purchased—each time interest added, 
and a new note given, until by piecemeal his 
little propertyis swallowed up, and he is forced 
to leave the place which he purchased with a 
reasonable prospect of its being a permanent 
home. Were these acts of Mr. A. voluntary? 
I will relate another case in point. It is the 
experience of an individual whom I shall call 
Mr. 11., from whom I received some of the de¬ 
tails, which are here given as a warning to 
young men to beware of the “Shylocks,” who 
seek to become rich, by taking advantage of 
the necessities and misfortunes of their fellow 
men. Such cases as this may not be of so 
frequent occurrence as the above, but in its 
general aspect is a counterpart to the experi¬ 
ence of many others. 
Mr. R., some years since, located himself in 
a central and populous town in one of our 
'Western States, and engaged in mercantile and 
other business to a considerable extent In-

more than $3,000. 
Many distinguished persons have insured their homes, 
amount; yet there remained heavy demands 
against him, and Mr. Shrub held a claim on a 
great portiou of his real estate, and actually 
seized on Mr. It,’s share of the manufacturing 
business. 
Business becoming more and more depress¬ 
ed, and money extremely scarce, it was agreed 
by the partners to sell their establishment— 
The mortgagee of Mr. R.’s partner thought 
the property worth-dollars, and on the 
day of sale was willing to bid accordingly, in 
opposition to Mr. Shrub, his only competitor. 
While the bid was in the hands of the latter, 
he told his opponent who did not want it, 
that they might as well take the property to¬ 
gether at the bid then made, as to run it up 
any higher. It was accordingly knocked down 
for little more than half its acknowledged 
value. Subsequently the mortgagee of Mr. 
R.’s partner paid to the latter a sum that made 
up the amount of his portion equal to the real 
value, or what the mortgagee thought it worth 
previous to the sale. Mr. Shrub was solicited 
to do the same for Mr. R., but refused. 
The situation of Mr. R. became indeed try¬ 
ing—as yet no star gleamed on his prospects 
—all was dark, and he was obliged to close up 
his affairs. He made arrangements with his 
creditors to place his property in the hands of 
a trustee, and have it sold for their benefit— 
Mr. Shrub was made trustee, and received the 
commissions and expenses incident to settling 
such concerns, which, with usurious interest, 
&c., made up a sum out of Mr. R.’s property 
sufficient to purchase a homestead that would 
satisfy any unambitious man. Mr. R.’s debts 
were fully discharged, and he was left a poor 
man. “ Cast down, but not dismayed,” he left 
the scene of his misfortunes, and sought by 
labor, in a rural and retired situation, if not to 
retrieve his fortune, to earn a competent sup¬ 
port, free from the turmoils and harassing 
cares incident to an active and extensive busi¬ 
ness. But while enjoying this tranquillity, a 
calamity far greater than the loss of property 
came upon him—month after month his sight 
gradually faded away, till he became almost 
blind. In this situation he was for nearly two 
years mainly dependent on the industry of his 
wife for support. 
At length, by a successful surgical opera¬ 
tion, Mr. R.’s sight was partially restored, but 
his health and energies so much impaired, that 
very few avocations could be adopted with 
reasonable hope of success. In following one 
of those few avocations, he once more sought 
the scene of his highest hopes of success in 
life, and of their blight He there found that 
the Shrub had expanded its branches, and 
struck deep its roots, overshadowing many 
frail plants that were destined to perish for the 
lack of that genial sunshine that their position 
denied. 
During the time that has elapsed since the 
sale of Mr. R.’s property, the country has en¬ 
joyed an unparalleled degree of prosperity! 
and real estate has become even more valuable 
than he anticipated. In view’ of his situation, 
and recollecting that Mr. Shrub was a “high- 
professing” church-member, he appealed to 
him to render this simple act of justice, name¬ 
ly, to pay to him the same sum his former 
partner had received from the mortgagee of 
his share of their joint property. But this 
was denied;—even the appeal, which was one 
that should have moved the slumbering con¬ 
science, was treated with silent contempt. In 
closing his last letter to Mr. Shrub, after re¬ 
viewing their former transactions, Mr. R. says: 
“My sight is still so imperfect, that it is but, 
little I can do. You have recently seen on
