THE UPS AND DOWNS OF LIFE.
BY A RESIDENT OF CINCINNATI


 It is useful as well as interesting to notice the change for better or worse which ten or fifteen years serve to operate in a community
 know man on Main street, who was re- e fused credit in 1850, for stove worth si1. z. He is now director in one of the banks ana IS worth $l50,000 at least. Every cent or Ii,is ha' been made in Cincinnati during that perlo1.
 know another business man, also on Man street, who was refused credit in ls3O, by nrm a in the drug line for the amount Of S3. In loAo that very firm lent that man 5000 upon hls endorsed note.
 know an extensive dealer in this city, now worth $1OO,OOe, who can command more money on short notice for 60, 90 or l20 days than al most any man in Cincinnati to whom I, as clerk for grocery house here in 1850 sold hogs head of sugar with great msgivings and reluc tance under some apprehensions of not getting the money when it became due.
 know man whose credit in 1850 was sucf that when trusted him for keg of salpetre my employer told me might as well have roll ed it into the Ohio. He was worth since thai period, in 1857, $lOOo0O again bankrupt in 1860 and now worth $20,000.
 Iknow man good for $30,000, who ten years ago, exhibited monkey through the streets ol of Cincinnati for living.
 know heavy business man, bank oileo, rec tor, who sold apples in basket when 'o' through the streets. o,tu
 know one of the first merchants in our crtY in IS45. who coud at that time nave bought entire blocks of the city on credit, director of one of our banks who wlthln ten Yeeis oi that neriod. died incorporate and insolvent.
 Anotber individual who was considered ln 1887 worth half million of dollars, has since died. leaving the estate insolvent.
 Another individual, of credit equal to all his wants and worth. at one time $l5000, and the Judge of our court died in our hospital, and was buried at the public expense. have seen him once and again presiding at public meetings.
 The founder of the pententiary system in Pennsylvania, and extensively known as pub man, died pauper in the Commercial Hospital in this City. saw him addressing the Legisla tnre ot Harrisburg and listened to with the at tent;on and deference that would have been paid to Daniel Webster or any other public man ot the age. Iknow a lady the descendant of distinguish cd Governor of Massachusetts, who supports herself by needle and the niece of Governor of New Jersey, still living, who washes for living.
 know alady, who 30 years ago in the vicin- ity in which then lived, was the exposure of ali eyes one of the most beautiful and graceful of the sex and moving in the first circles of wealth and fashion, now engaged in drudgery and dependence at one dollar and fifty cents per week.
 All these reside in this City.
 What are the fluctuations of roma nee writers compared to some of the realities of human life?
