The business at the New York Stock
Boards Is really quite astounding in
the amount OF transactions reported.
In reading the list OF sales In single
lines, OF the public funds, amounts like
the following are common: $3.50, 900,
$4,000, SD, 1000, $4,000, SIZE, 900,
$4,000, Sl3l, 900, $4,000, Sl27,OOO,

and less. All the above sales are found
In a single days report, and they are
not, IN theie auount, peculiar TO any
one day, Tor they have ruled OF much
the same magnitude daily for the last
fortnight. Where the bonds that cover
these large amounts come from, or 10
whose hands they go, are questions
for which there seems no definite
ansWer at present. Itjis not positively
known that any unusual amount Of
the Government securities are now
going abroad, though apparent among
the prominent buyers at New York are
houses known 10 operate largely for
foreign account. It's also known that
much larger amounts are taken than
formerly in lieu OF letters OF credit by
persons going abroad, and especially
those who purpose to spend much time
on the Continent. 1t is now, however,
understood that nearly or quite ali
OF the May interest, payable at New
York, has been dlsbursed, fact that
will be followed with lighter operations
in the public funds, as 1t is supposed
that the interest due in Europe Is rein.

Live Within Your Means.

We don't like stinginess. We don't
like economy when it comes down to
rags and starvation. We have no sym
pathy with the notion that poor man
should hitch himself to post and stand
still, while the rest Of the world moves
forward. 1t is no mans duty to deny
himself every amusement, every luxury,
every recreation, every comfort, that he
may get rich. 1t is no mans duty to
make an iceberg of himself, to. shut his
eyes and ears to the sufIerings of his fel-
lows, and to deny himself the enjoyment
that results from generous actions, mare
ly that he may hoard wealth for his heirs
to quarrel about. But there is an econo.
my which is every mans duty, and which
is especially commendable in the man
who struggles with poverty-an economy
which is consistent with happiness, and
which must be practiced if the poor man
would secure independence. 1t is almost
every mans privilege, and it becomes his
duty to, live withn his means; not to,
but within them. Wealth does not make
the man we admit, and should never be
taken into the account Of our judgment
of men; but competence should always
be secured whenit can be by practice of
economy and selfdenial to only a tolera-
BILE extent. 1t should be secured not SO
much for others to look upon, or to raise
us in the estimation of others, as to Sc
cure the consciousness of Independence,
and the constant satisfaction which is de
rived from its requirement and posses
sion.

Who are nIasOns.

At a late Masonic celebration, the Rev.
Mr.. Alger declared that four qualifca-
tions were indispensable for good Mason.
First, he must be.no scoffer, but q man
of reverential spirit; second, he must
be no dry poser, but a man of a living
imagination; third, he must be no bigot,
but a man of liberal mind fourth, he
must be no selfish worldling, but man
of generous heart. Whether genuine
Christian men, consistent American ,citi-
zens, have reason to fear and oppose Ma.
sonry. or to trust and bcfriend ii, the
speaker thought would appear clearly,
enough from a glimpse at the chief char
acteristics impersonated in its worthy
disciples. These characteristics he illus
trated with some detail under four heads.
First, every true Mason is pilgrim in
search of light, travelling toward the goal
of his destiny. Secondly, every true
Mason is a warrior, fighting for innocence
and charity against every form of evil.
Thirdly, every true Mason is a patriot,
bound to love and serve his native land,
pledged to revere her laws and promote
her veal. Fourthly, every true Mason
is n spiritual architect, required to build
an indestructible house of character out
of the rude material of his being. Under
the rough outworls the moral edifce goes
up, little by little, until it is complete.
Then death tears off the scafolding OF
flesh and bones, and the pure temple, not
made with hands, mounts to God.

A Fearful Story of Murder and
Revenge.

= A shocking story of brutal murder,
and swift lawless punishment, among q
party of miners travelling on foot over
the Rocky Mountains to the Sweetwater
mines, is reported in one of our Western
exchanges. Hess, Frenchman, and
Armstrong, Nova Scotian, had quar-
relied, but apparently became reconciled,
when Armstrong reeffened the disagree
'nent, and threatened Hess for taking
some of his tobacco. During that day
the party entered dangerous and diff.
cult canon, through which they wound
along narrow ledge of rock, several
hundred feet above the bed Of the stream,
which ran along ct the foot of that fearful
precipice.
At the point of the greatest danger,
where the party had to travel in single
file, and several yards apart, Armstrong
watched his opportunity to dodge behind
ledge of rock unobserved, and thus fall
behind the others. Hess was the first
man in the file. As he drew near the
place where Armstrong was secreted, the
latter stepped forth and followed his COM
panions without seeming to notice him.
Presently he knelt down as though to tie
his shoe, and Hess, unable to pass, stop
ped within few feet Of him. The next
moment, turning about to pick up his
bundle, which had been thrown aside
upon the ground, by o sudden. change of
movement he seized the unsuspecting
Frenchman and hurled him over the edge
of the terrible abyss.
Some twenty or thirty feet down from!
the face of the precipice the wretched
man lodged in the branches of a scraggy
hemlock tree, which grew out of a crevice
in the rocky wall, and might from thence
have been rescued if assistance had been
nigh. But there was none. How the
murderer could summon the hardihood
to stoop down and watch the fall Of his
victim. from the dizzy height we cannot
imagine. Yet Armstrong did look down
the cliff, perhaps to assure himself that
his murderous work was, well done, and
saw poors Hess .stilldesperately maintain
ing his hold upon life, instead of lying a
shapcIess mass at the bottom of the canon.
The fiendish spirit manifested itself still
further. He got fragments of rock arid
cast them down upon the poor man until
his lifeless body toppled over the yawn-
ing abyss below; then Armstrong arose
and pursued his journey.
/ The whole act was seen from distance
by another of the party, who was apart
Hunting for game; and after they had got
into camp atnight he told the story, when
Armstrong was seized and charged with
| the murder, and he did not deny it. A
part of the company were in favor of
taking him. with them through to the set
elements to be tried by the civil authori-
ties, bat the majority were determined to
allow the murderer no chance for escape,
and so about an hour before midnight
Armstrong was conducted to the top OF
cliff which rose like q wall to the height
of one hundred and eighty or two hun
dred feet, half a mile in The rear of the
camp. Having bound his hands and feet,
they cast him over into the black abyss,
out of which no cry returned.

Better thans:Gold.

Better than gold is the sweet repose 81.
Of the sons of toll when their labors close;
Better than gold is the poor mars sleep,
Aud the balm that drops on his slumbers deep.
Bring sleeping draughts to'the downy bed
Where luxury pillows his aching head;
His simple opiate labor deems
A shorter road to the land of dreams.
Better than gold is 4 thinking mind,
That in the realms ,of books can find
A treasure surprising Australian ore,
And live with the great and good of yore.
The sage's lore and the poets lay,
The glories of empire pass away.
The worlds great drama will thus enfold,
And yield pleasure better than gold.
Better than. gold is peaceful home,
Where all the freside charities coma;
The shrine Of love, the heaven Of life,
Hallowed by mother or sister or wife;
However humble the home may be,
Or tried with sorrow by Heavens decree,
The blessings that never were bought or sold,
And centre there are better than gold.
