Some years ago, in one Of the most
beautiful Of The West India Islands. there
lived an old French gentleman and his on
daughter-a charming girl of sixteen. A
young Spagiard who had an estate near by
became enamored for the sweet female,
and she yielded 10 his passionate lmpor-
tunlties, and conscnted to run off with him.
They were not married, and in month
or two lie left the broken hearted girl TO
The whitening sneers Of the hearless world.
She dared not see her father. for she knew
that her shame would bring him 10 his
grave. She came to this city, where for
many years she was looked on as one OF
the most splendid women in N. Orleans;
but by degrees she sunk lower. and low
er, down the depths of crime, until at last
she resor,ed 10 stealing for The purpose of
keeping her from starvation She was
sent TO prison, and as soon as her term Of
punishment had expired, she again came
forth to renew her career Of misery
Yesterday she came 10 the police Office of
The Frs. Municipality and surrender her
self as yagran!-she had no health, no
food. no place of shelter, and she would
rather rot inch by inch in Jail, than to
die like dog in the street, And this is
the epiiome Of the history Of one poor va
grant.-N. O. Crescent City.

REwARDs OF lSDusrRY.-Thurlow Weed.

REwARDs OF lNnusrRr.--Thurlow Weed.
ofthe Albany Evening Journal pays the fol-
lowing deserved tribute 10 Mr.. James Harper.
Of the house Of Harper T. Brothers, the MONT
nee Of large party to the MayoraIty o. the
city Of New York. Such men as Nlf. Harper
and Mr.. Weed do honot to our craft.
In 1916 we worked as journeyman IN the
same office with James and John Harper.-
They were distinguished, like Franklin our
great example in the Art, for industry. temper
ance and economy. james was our partner at
press. We were at work as soon as the day
dawned; and though on pleasant summer at
ternoon we used TO sigh occasionally fora walk
upon the battery before SHUTDOWN, he never
would allow the 'sballs 10 be cap'd" until he
had broken the back Of the 18Th "token."
The sequel is, that the journeyman printer OF
1916 is in 1914 the head OF one Of the first. f
not the first, publishing houses in the world !,
man Of ample fortune, enjoying the conf
dence Of his fellow-ci,izens in so eminent
degree as to render it probable that he will be-
come the chief magistrate Of our great metrop'
oils. Such are the rewards ofindusIry, enter
prise and integrity.
