STEADFAST.


As one entranced will sometimes gaze afar
Into the deep blue night,
AT the sweet radiance Of some special star
That shines supremacy bright;
His look concentred-all the rest unrecked
Their glowing courses run;
Though by ten myriad gems the heavens are decked,
To him there is but one.
So look up into glorious face,
Into a calm kind eye,
Radiant with quecnly nobencss and grace,
Clear a cloudIcss sky.
Not bright-as brooks that DER the shadows roll,
But oh! so pure and deep
With fathomlcsS serenity ofsOul-
Like ocean in sleep.
There might be faces fifty times as air
Oh, dear-loved lady mine!
But though there were I'd neither know care
I'm blind to all but thine.

LUTHER REASON For IT.-Some things in
this world march without either reason or de-
liberation. For example, marriage is generally
the result OF spontaneous combustion, and rare
ly is any one able to give good reason for it.
1t is the subject of frequent discourse by preach
ers, lecturers writers, and two Classes are III
terestcd-the unmarried, who hope to learn
something about it, and the married, who ale
anxious to see how much nonsense can he con-
dcnsed in a short space. Few can give as
many good and sufficient reasons as Lutherdid
who said that he married an ex nun to please
his father, to tease the pope, and to yex the
devil; and he got good wife, showing that it
is about as safe to rely upOn reason as love.

And by far the chief part Of ali the common
sense there is in the world belongs unQuestion-

him to do. \ wife is the grand wiclder Of the

SUCH IS HUMAN CHARACTER.

Accumulativeness is principle of nature, of
business, and society. In the natural world,
whatever has, receives mOre in business,
wealth creates wealth, and in society, gifts ac-
cruc to the gifted.
This principle suggested itself to my mind
with peculiar force when Carl Muhlenberg ap-
peared on the varanda Of our hotel at the sea-
side and walked straight to Marcia SAKE.
There were those setting there, alone and
unentertaned, and Marcia SAKE already divid-
ed her attention between Gus Ferrill and Win
throp Allen.
There were those sitting there to whom flow
ers were rare and precious but Carl Muhlen-
berg gave his exquisite bouquet to Marcia SAKE,
and she lived i'll an atmosphere Of flowers, filling
gardens and conservatOries.
There was those sitting there who would
have set priceless value on Carl Muhlenbcrg' s
words and gifts, but Marcia SAKE listened alb
sently, and picked to pieces the carnation she
took from the bouquet.
Carl Muhlenberg watched her, with strange
look in his deep meaning eyes.
'Does it deserve no better fate p he asked,
reproachiuUy
IL always analyze my pets and favorites,
she answered, with low, Indifferent laugh.
Honor me with your analysis !" exclaimed
Winthrop Allen, in his gallant way.
"1rcc bcHHcOp de lJLdtSer, she answered,
with bright bewitching smile.
81 think anal lysiS sometimes means distruc-
ton in Miss Marcia's vocabulary" remarked
Carl Muhlenberg, as he gazed on the carnation
petals strewing the floor.
Fishing means destruction, when the clouds
look like this, said Gus Ferrill, walking to
the window. "Will you so tonight, gentle
men,
The gentlemen looked at each other and
then ut Marcia SAKE.
81 should gricve if you became food for fish
es," she said in a low, tender tone.
Her eyes were on Winthrop Aliens face,
and Carl Muhlenberg's lip curled scornfully.
''The rest may do as they please, tor myself,

II will join YOU said Gus Ferrill
Winthrop Allen hesitated.
'Jcnnie Godfrey whispered to her neighbOr,
"Mr Allen would rather be angled for, than
angle Marcia SAKE is fisher of men. Carl
Muhlenberg was the best fish in the sea until
this Winthrop Allen dropped in our social wa
ters. Evidently Carl has made up his mind
to allow himself to be caught, when 10 my
lady angler withdraws the bait for finer ps-
cine specimen. Mr. Allen has more money
than Carl, and money seeks to ally itself to
money, as surely as water seeks its level
Jennie was no philosopher, but intuitively
she cOmprehendcd the principle of accumula-.
tiveness.

Marcia SAKE, entreatingly. Mark Radley is a
lover of the piscatory art and will gladly take

THE BEGINNING OF \ GREAT FORTUNE. The
wealth OF the great Welsh family of Crawshay
is larger than that of the AStors, Vanderbilt
and Stuart combined, and, like most great for
tunes, commenced with very small beginnings
In the last century the original Crawshay, then
a farmers son, rS&a to London on his pony
his sole prOperty-to seek his fortune. He be-
gan by sweeping out the warehouse of an iron
mOnger, who was of discriminating mind, and
saw that young Crawshay had good stuff in him.
The ironmOnEer had been successfully specu-
lating in sending out iron pots to America, and
his astute apprentice observed that iftheAmeri
cans used SO many pots they must want hooks
to hang them on. WhereupOn the master not
only took the hint, but kindly determined that
Crawshay should send them out, and that be
would lend him money for the purpose. Upon
this venture he realized fl00, and from that
time the farmers son moved rapidly upward
being first taken into partnership by his master,
and ultimately becoming an iron king in South
Wales, whose descendant, lately deceased, has
left, above $40, 1000, 600 in personal property
alone, besides enormous real estates. 1t is q
curious fact shat from this stock has arisen, III
very short time, two baronetages and one
peerage-that of Hanover.
