Some men seem to have way opened for
them through pecuniary embarrassment, which
leads from the depths of despair to the sunny
heights of prosperity and joy. Read the fol-
lowing incident, for whose truth the 81. Louis
Leader vouches:
"Not over dozen years ago, a merchant Of
this city, well known and highly respected,
failed in business, land after settling up his af-
fairs, gave to his principal creditor deed of
trust on certain real estate, 10 secure the pay
ment of $4,000. AT the time the property was
barely valued at that, so far az he was con-
cerned, the matter ended. The merchant, bro
ken down, disappointed, poor, but yet enter
prising, went South, visited California, Mexico,
and South America, speculated, made half
dozen fortunes, and lost them again. A few
weeks since he returned to the city, sick, tra-
vel-worn, needy and dishearted. BY chance,
he met his old lawyer, gentleman high in his
profession, and who is deserveGly respected.
After the first greeting, the lawyer remarked,
Il am glad to see you back, and as you seem
to be in want Of funds, the sale will be just in
time.o
lne merchant looked hard al his friend, and
finally said, "Sale what sale? 1'ye got moth
ing to SELL"
"Nonsense, my dear fellow, you are richer
than you imagine. Don't you remember the
deed or trust drew up for you some twelve
years ago?o
81 90, what Of ?"
We'll, at that time the property would not
have realized the sum, so it was let lie, but it
is now in tn. market, and Iexpect TO close
contract for its sale this weekn
''You amaze me ;-what price do you ex<
pect to get?"
"pve asked $50, 6,0oc,! and shall get it too.
Your debt ana interest will amount to S2f 900
or thereabouts, SO you'll have S65, 600, to go,
upon. t
| The sensations Of the party may be more
| easily imagined than described, as the penny<
a-liners have it, but one thing is certain, Mr..
A. went home happier man than he had been
for ten years at least.
Reader, what we have here related is sim
pie fact, and more, the occurrence is not yet
week old.'

The spn was set. Darkness was upon the

Alas, alas fond mother, Mabel Parkman in

THE NORTH AND THE SoUTH.-The most
eloquent of all Southerners. as think, Mr..
Prentiss Of Mississippi, was addressing a
crowd of some 1000 people in that State, de-
Tending the tariff, and in the course of an elo-
quent period which rose gradually to some
beautiful climax, he painted the thrift, the el-
ergy, tie comfort, the wealth, the civilization
of the North, in glowing coors, when there
rose up on the vision Of the assembly, in open
air, horseman Of magnificent proportions
and just at the moment Of hushed attention,
when the voice had ceased, and the applause
was about to break forth, the horseman ex-
claimed, "D-i the North" The curse
was so much in unison with the habitual feel
ing Of Mississippi audience, that it quenched
their enthusiasm, and nothing but respect for
the speaker kept the crowd from applauding
the horseman.
Prentiss turned his lame foot around and
said, .Major Moody, will you rein in that
steed moment ?n He assented. Said he,
" Major, the horse on which you sit came from
Upper Missouri; the saddle that surmounts
him came from Trenton, N. j the hat on your
head was made in Danbury, Conn.,; the boots
you wear come from Lynn, Mass; the linen
of your shirt is Irish, and Boston made it up !;
your broadcloth coat is OF. Lowell manufac-
ture, and was cut in New York and if to-day
you surrender what you owe the I'D
North you would sit stark naked. d.''-L Speech
