A STORY WITH A MORAL. The A:ntrup>l-
titan Record recalls this remlniscouce Of The
unlucky financicr, Frank Ballard. who Wl5
lately arrested for embezzling the funds ct an
! insurance company in New ioik, Of which
he was Secretary. The Record says:
! Ballard started in early life with Il large
stock of what the world calls fair prospects
| In an unlucky moment our hero took into lis
head to turn Black Republican, and TO ego
back'' on the Democratic principles he pre-
viously protested, while acting as the New
| York correspondent of the Boston Post, I'M
der the nom de plume OF ''NorWcster." We
remember meeting him about that time on
Broadway, one sunny morning in Dune, aud
as an old friend, giving him u word or two OF
advice.
! Crank said we, ''you are too smart a
tyoung man to be starting out SO sooh on the
lrOad to ruin
The road to rllin,' said he What do you
Imeanp"
"Mcan just what we say. You have join
ed a Loyal League Club, and if that don't
use up your surplus stock Of moral ideas be
fore you have a gray hair i'll your head, write
tus down as an ass-that's all"
The young man turned on his heel with a
|resenttul scowl, and left us. For some years
subsequently we heard of him frequently rs a
Heading man among the ''trooly LOLA bit
tier denouncer of Democrats, and, when oc-
|casion required, an enthusiastic admirer Of
and sort Of a second or third fiddle to Wendell
Phillips, Ward Beecher, Theodore Elton, an,
all the rest Of that set We knew then that i
was all up with him. We knew, from The
kind of company he was keeping that he coult
come to no good end.
