How Poor Boys Reach the Top
Round.

The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser says there are 1919 names who
pay an income tax in this city. Six
ty-seven persons who pay tax on in
comes of 100000 or over. Most of
these solid gentlemen are self made
men, who have come up from the low
est round of the ladder. The man
who leads the list, A. T. Stewart, ev-
erybody knows is an Irish emigrant,
who commenced life with a capital of
less than twenty-five cents; indeed,
with few exceptions, most of the par
ties in the list were scarce as we'll off as
Mr.. Stewart. Take Henry Keep; he
boasts that he graduated from the
Poor House of Jefferson county. Jay
Gould drove a herd of cattle from
Delhi, Delaware county, when a lad,
for fifty cents day, in order to get
money enough to reach the Hudson
river. David Groesbeck, over thirty
years ago, used to mend old shoes for
his brother, who was a respectable
shoemaker in Albany. We all know
the history of James Gordon Bennett,
Robert Bonner, poor boys full of talent
and industry. Rufus Hatch, when a
youngster, had an ambition to hold the
reins of a peddler's wagon. E. D.
Morgan commenced life with a quar-
tern measure of molasses. 1t is scarce
dozen years since Henry Clews was
an errand boy in one of the banking
houses down town. The brothers Sc
ligman started out in life with a ped
dler's pack. David Dows, in his
younger days, retailed pork by the
half pound and molasses by the gill.
H. T. Helmbold was first cabin boy on
the sloop Mary Jane, that navigated
the Delaware river We might 60 on
through the list, and show that nearly
every one of these solid men were the
architects of their own fortunes
Young men, who are struggling for
place and position, should remember
that the individuals in the list above
had to battle for life just as hard as
they are doing. Let them take heart
and never say die:
Honor and shame from no condition rise,
Act well your part-there all the honor lies.

brought him out and hitched him to
the identical tree from the limbs of

looked little out of order: but they
kept as quiet as death, fearing that
they would either lose the closing views
of the performance. or be the subjects
of the displeasure of the circus man, if
he should discover them ''dead head
ing" it to his show. In due time the
performance closed, the crowd dis
Persed, and, horror upon horrors, the
Keeper OF the animals now added to
the perils of their situation BY hitch
ing two smaller elephants and camel
to the same tree. Our lads now dis
covered that they were in for night
of it. as all hands had left, excepting
themselves and the animals on guard
below. All hope of escape was now
cut off. About this time Romeo con-
cluded to investigate matters about
him, and with his trunk commenced
trimming out the smaller branches.
Our boys commenced climbing also,
until they had got above his reach;
and now the camel took up the investi-
cation, and poking his ugly mug up
among the limbs, he drove the boys to
the very uppermost branches Of the
tree, where they were discovered, at
day break; by their anxious parents,
who had been searching for them in
vain all night, teetering and tossed
about like blackbirds on the top of a
rice stalk in a windy day. The boys
saw more of these animals than all the
rest of the boys in town, and "for
too; and if they don't re-
the time for the balance of
their natural days when they "sat up.
with Romeo, then we miss our guess.
The phrase, seeing the elephant"
had to them a practical application
which they will always remember.

with the belief that he was still in his place
Of business. and that 1t was in the same cate
CORY with himself, save that dozen or more
good jovial fellows were enjoying themselves
therein-the milk of human kindness mean
while overlooking in his generous bosom-he
was heard to solloquize thus:
Fly fly off locks and leave your keys,
Air out dry goods. and take your ease;
Pint cups will to spigots 60
Let the nectar flow and flow;
That ev'ry son Of Adam born
May drink my glory in horn.
Mount up glasses to their lips,
Pipes slip in between their sips;
"Gravely," lave their precious jaws,
Cheese, nuts, crackers, fill their maws;
Toys, plums and candies leave your shelves
As presents to their darling elves
That they too may in childish lays
Shout, shout in glory to my praise,
And swear by Nature and her laws,
I'm head and foot 'bove Santa Claus!
"Nick" gives his mite, I my all
He goes up, but down fall.
Falls on, his bed.]
Yours, A,
