One of the citizens of New York, gallant whole
hearted and noble fellow-who is better known in the
country than any other man who lives in New York
whose house has been the home Of all the great men of
the land-and who has the same great gift that God
gave Solomon, argeness of heart he to the surprise
of everybody failed All persons supposed the house
was immensely rich and was daily coming money 1t
was said that the failure occaSiored by the outside
speculation OF partner. All that this gentleman had,
and all that he had earned was at once given up to his
creditors and he began life again. as he began it thirty
years ago, with the same spirit and energy with the
same cheerfulness and the same iberality His affairs
were then far possible then kept from his wife
But with the quick keen eyes of affection she saw that
more involved in the affairs of her husband than he
and education under the unwelcome sky of New England,
but her mental and moral training had under those
influences that have raised up many men and women
of mark and talent in our land.
Asking nothing from her husband about his matters,
this lady viitod hcl husbands lawyer and heard from
him the full of the evil that had fallen on his
future. Her resolution at once taken. She knew
that her husband valued his honor more than all the
wealth of the world, and that he felt that that honor
seemed to rest under q cloud. She held at the East
large and valuable property, which exclusively her
own. She ordered the papers to be drawn at once,
placing all the property in the hands of her husbands

WHAT DOES IT CosT TO VISIT EUROPE This in
teresting question is thus satisfactorily answered by
correspondent of the Boston POST
This is question that am asked not unfrequently
and something may be said in answer that will be of
advantage to the inexperienced traveller. Were to
state that spent ten to forty thousand dollars during
my first visit to Europe-and it nearer the latter
than the former-t would really be saying nothing
definite so will tell what may be done. Stayathome
people often have very singular ideas of the expen
ses of foreign travel am not writing for the nforma
ton of beggars robbers, gamblers but for those who
take money enough with them to pay all their expenses
personal and otherwise During my last visit to Europe
visited England, France Belgium, Holland, Germany
Switzerland, northern Italy and Sardinia and was gone
from home about one hundred days. When have been
asked what it cost me- have sometimes asked my ques
toner to guess the amount The sum named has been
usually $4,000 $500. 1t was about one-h of the
latter sum-to wit, five hundred and the very same
scenes be visited now for Onehalf that sum, and
travel respectfully. Money being usually important
consideration, wish travel in other investments
lieve travellers usually do not get than onehaf
quanted with the English people at home any other
people i'll their domestic and social relations, and their
political condition. he must stay awhile, making his
