WHAT BECOMES OF WEALTH.

A boot and shoe dealer has hanging in
his store pair of boots worth 81. They
constitute a portion of his wealth, and a
portion of the wealth of the world. A
man buys them and begins to wear them,
by friction against pavements, little par
ticles of leather are rubbed off, and thus
separated from the rest of the sole. Every
particle that is thus removed takes out a
portion of the value of the pair Of boots,
and when the boots are entirely worn out,
the seven dollars of wealth which they
formed is consumed. The wheat, corn,
&C., which was raised by our farmers last
summer, is being eaten up. No particle
of matter is destroyed by this process,
but the value which was in it was des-
troyed.
AS, while men are wearing out clothing
and eating up food, they are generally
busily employed in producing wealth Of
some kind, the wealth of the world is not
usually diminished by this consumption,
but is changed. This applies, however,
only to personal property town lots and
farms generally retain their value, but
the personal property is in state of per-
petual destruction and renewal AS the
several particles of water which constitute
river are forever rolling away to the
ocean, while their places arc being sup
piled from the springs and fountains, 50
the movable wealth of the world is con-
stantly being consumed to supply human
wants, and constantly being renewed by
the restless activity of human industry.

ments later he reached out his skeleton
hand to place within hers, and almost
whispered, kiss me, sister, before I Sleep"
and closed his eyes. Slowly the muscles
of his neck relaxed, his head fell gently
to one side as though he was sleeping,
his fingers loosed their scarcely percepti-
BILE grasp, and he lay there as quiet as a
babe on its mothers breast. He was
dead While the cars were hurriedly
bearing him to the home he so longed to
see, his spirit too impatient to wait the
rapid pulsation of the engine, had left the
body, and gone to find a mother in the in
visible world. While the cars were
rumbling along at rate of speed fearful,
if one stops to think of it, death had over
taken, entered, and borne off in triumph
a victim, and hastened on for another one.
There were more tears shed last nj ght
than those that fell like rain from the eyes
of the tired, wearied and loving sister.
The Car seemed to become still--silent as
death, as kind friends gently laid his head
down from her lap, and led her weeping
away. There were fearful eyes, moistened
cheeks and trembling hands, ready to do
all that could be done for the deserted
prison house of the flying spirit, and there
were kind words, but none too kind for
the sister who stood alone in the world.
And there were those present who gladly
volunteered to take charge of and accom-
pany both the dead and the living to the
home now completely desolate.
They who insist that man is altogether
depravcd--that there is not somewhere in
the heart spot that is ever alive to SYM
pathy for those in trouble, should have
seen the kindness manifested last night
toward the dying and the dead, and the
heart broken.

DO YOUR BEST.

A common remark, and very simple
direction, but one that is SO important
that it will bear repeating and re-urgiug
upon the attention of every one. For it is
true that none of us accomplish as much
as we might 1t is just what all wish to
do; nearly all the books that have been
written on conduct, business, etc., might
be summed up in the simple expression,
"Do your best" But, though all desire
to do this. none fully succeed. We think
the reason of this is not altogether be-
cause we do not know how, but because
we do not appreciate the Importance Of
well-directed effort The great key to sue
cess in life is to make an effort decided
and continued. It's seldom, indeed, that
a man gifted with average abilities, makes
q decided and persevering effort to secure
any desirable end, and fails to acquire
that for which he assiduously labors. In
your business, remember the virtues Of
punctuality, industry, perseverance, Of all

true merit, and resolve to excel Don't
wait for something to turn up. In socie-
ty, do your best to entertain your compa-
myths is your duty; you have no right
to be sleepy in society, but justice demands
that you should be gay and witty, or as
agreeable and instructive as possible while
in it. In your studies do your best to
master every fact and principle; and
where possible, go beyond your author,
and grasp for originality. Finally, at all
times, under all circumstances, working,
studying, thinking, eating, sleeping, "Do
your best." Life Illustrated.

keeping the reckoning, and making en-
tries in the log. At noon and at mid
night she was on deck, taking an observa-
tion. She marked the charts, made no
mistakes, and carried the ship into port in
fine condition on the 18th of November.
Captain Patton was a Freemason; and
the Freemasons at San Francisco were
kind, sending them back to New York by
the first ship that would take them. They
arrived wholly destitute-the husband
blind, deaf, delirious dying-the wife
grave and composed, bent upon reaching
Boston before her confinement. This aim
she could not accomplish; her husband
was too i'll to be removed, and her child
was born in strange place. The uuder-
writer's Immediately sent her 81, 900 as a
gift; and the owners of the vessel and
cargo at once took steps to testify their
sense of her conduct. Under singular ex-
tremity, she had considered the interests of
the crew, ,and saved a vast amount ofproper-
ty to the owners; and the valor and consci-
entiousness of this lonely young creature
were thoroughly appreciated. The truth
was, it was to her husband that she de-
voted herself. She wrought out his pur-
pose, and saved his honor.
From her husbands grave, Mrs. Patton
disappeared from public sight. A para
graph in the papers, few days since, an
nounced the death Of this faithful wife
and heroic woman, in Boston, on Saturday
last. She was only twenty -four years Of
age at the time of her death.-FaH Rive,

A TOUCHING STORY.

The following beautiful incident is told
by Pomeroy, of the La Crosse (Wis) In
ion Democrat, in late editorial CORES
pondence from Dunkirk, New York -
"On the train last night, which left
Chicago on the Pittsburgh and Fort
Wayne road, there was a touching Incl
dent that showed forth like the monday
sun, the deep and lasting love of sister.
There was on board, in the sleeping car,
young lady from Albany, New York.
the only sister of a pale emaciated invalid
who lay on couch, the motion of the
cars, it seemed, fastening with sort of
eager tremble the life from him. A little
over four years since, duty, as he thought,
called him from the store in which he was
engaged, to Kansas. He thought some
one there might be in danger-he went
forth-concluded to make his house there
-bravely toiled till he fell sick with con-
sumption, and sent at last for his sister, a
girl of about twenty, and hiSonly living
relative, to come and kiss the death damp
from his brow. She went, and her gentle
care seemed to revive him, till he deter
mined to set his face towards the east and
there seek health, or a quiet grave beside
his mother.
They started, but the travel was too
much for his wasted energies, and at Chi
cago he was carried on board the train,
and laid in the berth, as though he were
an unconscious infant AS he lay there,
pale and coughing, it was beautiful to see
with what holy, sisterly devotion would
that girl watch beside him, fearful that a
wish might be formed, but yet unbreathed,
that she did not anticipate. She wiped
the clammy perspiration from his pale
brow. She gently smoothed back his
damp hair, and softly kissed his forehead
as she bent over him. At times he would
rally little, and ask how far they had
come, and then sink back exhausted
Passengers gathered about, ready and
anxious to relieve him, but it was little
they could do. At times he would, as Ii,
turned his weary head and closed his ach
ing eyes, mutter-"Oh hosc slow--I nevel
shall see my home?" About midnight h,
asked the conductor show fast they wer,
goingg'1 'at saa7 Dea otf a5l II
about thirty miles an hour"
"Aaad Tam going taster than that 2" h
muttered half unconsciously, as he opened
his eyes, and turned his head which lay
in the lap Of his sister, 50 he could tn
better look up into her moistened eye.
A little past one, he asked his siste
the hour. She told him. "A few mo
