Nothing is more nauseous than apparent self
sufiicency. For it shows the company two
things which are extremely disagreeable: That
you have high opinion of yourself, and that
you have comparatively mean opinion of them.

Mr.. Nicodemus Ney is philanthropist-as
the world says; (and /, as in duty bound, have
a great respect for the opinion of the world y
that is, he goes about collecting nine-pences and
halfdollars from poor, overtasked servant girls
and Ralf-fed clerks, for the founding of" charit-
able institutions" for all sorts Of distressed per-
sons, who never know what an unfortunate sit
uation they are in, until he tells them.
How much of the money thus obtained is paid
out for the purpose specified, is" nothing to
nobody" He often takes long journeys to Nj
agara, and other places of fashionable resort
that together" Some of the donors, too, are
occasionally impertinent enough to inquire,
point blank, what has become of their funds
as if man who belongs to the church, wears
such a long face, fortified with such white and
stiff cravat, makes such long prayers, and has
such narrow creed, could be anything but the
quintessence of honesty 1t is astonishing how
suspicious and impertinent some people are =
Besides, don't Nicodemus dine once week with
the Hon. Dives Doncaster and is he not al
ways on the platform on all public occasions, as
solemn as an owl, along side Of the other great
guns? You can see with half an eye, that sus-
picioa of him is perfectly ridiculous
Should Mr.. Nicodemus Ney sit toastng his
feet at The fire, after surfeiting dinner, and
should a poor, down-trodden creature come in
for relief you could not expect him to disturb
his digestion by attending to such a petty case
of distress. He is great man, and only does
things on a large scaleLon scale that ,oiH tell.
Besides, it is has forte to draw money ont of
peoples pockets, not to put ii in.
Very circumspect is Nicodemus it would
puzzle you to keep track of any of his personal
or domestic expenditures-all his bargains are
strictly "private," and he was never known to
answer the simplest question without first doub-
ling Cape Lookout! Is he attacked, lie goes
whining to Dives" and I'd like to see any dog
bark when rich man tells him TO hold his
tongue
And so Nicodemus grows fatter and sleeker
every year, keeping wrinkles and rumors at bay
the poor draw a long hopeless sigh as he passes
them, and the uninitiated touch their hats re-
spectfully. and say, at is Nicodemus Ney, the
great philanthropistw FANNY FERN.

A LITTLE THING MADE GREAT +:
OR, A FACT FOR CHILDREN.


In the streets of one of the cities of Europe.
little child of some ten or twelve years, hav-
ing no useful employment at home, and anxious
to acquire his own subsistence and lay found
elton for subsequent prosperity, was seeking
employment. He called on nobleman to obtain
it, but was answered by his lordship that he then
was not in want of help. AS the lad turned
away and passed out under the piazza, his atten-
tion was attracted by pin. He stopped and
picked ii up. The nobleman noticed the act, and
his interest in the boy was at once awakened by
it. He called him back, had further conversa-
ton with him, and employed him. He felt that
if the boy was so observing as to noticed pin,
and so careful and prudent as to pick it up, he
might be of great service TO him. He accord
ing secured his services, and retained him in his
family as long as he lived. In his will he made
the boy his heir to his vast estate. The lad
thus became one of the most opulent and influ-
entail men in the kingdom. And to what was
he indebted for his wealth and greatness? To
his act, under God, to his title act of picking up
a pin. His whole career in life, and his great
prosperity was connected with that little Incl.
dent!
| Now, children, learn from this simple story
great lesson. BE instructed by it not to waste,
not to destroy; to take care of your books that
they be not injured. of your clothes that they
be not spoiled. Be instructed by this incident
to save your cents; to be Industrious and pru-
dent. A penny saved is penny earned. stake
care of the pence, and the pounds will take care
of themselves" BE instructed by this little sto-
ry, never to despise small things, for you see
how little thing ,cas made great.
