A Paradise for the ImDecunfou.
-Reechcr7S EXnerienrn

Probably there is no place in the oountrv
where persons are so pestered with calls from
friends in peouniary distress as New York.
One from the provincial regions comes on a
visit to Gotham and runs short of funds He
applies at once TO some friends for the whera-
with to get home, and the said friend in nine
cases ont of ten 'Comes down." Thousands
flock here to the metropolis of the New World
in quest OF employment, and get home again
only by means Of enforced loans extorted
from acquaintanoes. Some of our
prominent men are constantly sub
jeoted to appeals of this character.
This is particularly true of Henry Ward
Beecher. He recently remarked in conversa-
tion that day did not pass without bringing
him one or more applications for relief. Mauy
persons called upon him for money to pay a
hotel bill OF get back home, who, claiming to
have made his acquaintance at such and such
place, were SONS of warm friends of his, or
belonged to the Congregational Church. Mr..
BeecheT stated that he had made loans to in
dividuals from all over the country, putting
forth these and similar pleas. He had never
known his money to come back except in one
instance, and that was when he loaned SO to a
poor negro woman. He received about $25, 900
annually, and fully one third of this sum was
given away to charitable objects and ap-
plicants for aid. Mr.. Beecher added, in the
course Of his remarks, that he believed that the
great majority OF charitable institutions were
injurious and deleterious Many of them were
started by unprincipled individuals for money
making purposes, who put into their own
pockets the lions share of the moneys centri-
buted for the aid of poor children or others
under their care. Charitable institutions
when started from honest motives and hon
estly conducted, were very apt to encourage
a spirit of dependence, and to destroy the
manhood and energy of those to whom they
rendered assistance The reverend divine
made several other observations to the same
effect One has to put his foot down here,
unless he would have his extra change con-
stsntly drawn Off by mendicant aoquaint-
ances or friends in pecuniary trouble. 1t is
very often hard to turn away an acquaint-
ance of long standing, but an absolute reso-
luton never to lend is about the only thing
here in New York which will prevent poor
mans pocket-book from being in constant
state of depletion.-New York Letter to Chi
cage Journal.

attached by suitable chains The cost of this
extraordinary work is set down from ten to If

soon after. he went back but could not lind
it. Suspicion was at once directed to Mas

tents were not found on him. Constable

TRADE.-The finishing up Of the sowing
and planting gives our merchants the pleas
ure of seeing more Of their friends aud GUS
TONERS from :he country than usual, and
the additional pleasure Of selling them more
goods than for some time past. Last Sat-
urday was very brisk day for business,
the streets of our city being thronged with
teams and the stores with customers. Grain
is coming IN more freely than Of late. Many
of the farmers have at las, made up their
minds that there is nothing 10 be made by
waiting for higher rates aud are selling their
-rain at present prices.

The CRops,-From all that we can learn,
the growing wheat crop never looked better
or gave promise Of a greater abundance than
now. The cold backward weather which
has prevailed this spring has been just the
thing for wheat. For the same reason, corn
is not very promising There has no, been
beyond Two or three Gays Of real corn weather
th,s spring, and the crop is accordingly raih>
er spindling ard yellow. But there is time
enough yet. A hot July will do wonders for
it. The grass crop will be an excellent one,

TIE WEATHER. The present week has
been one Of extremes, and sudden and most
uncomfortable changes. Nothing but the
famous cast iron constitution would stand
n change o. over thirty degrees in thirty
minutes, and that on the downward grade.
One or two days of the beginning Of the
week was oppressively warm, but the pas,
two days has been suggestive only of over
coats and rheumaiics. A sour nor,h>ea ST
wind prevails, the sun refuses to shine and
everything looks as though the eqninoctial
had pnt in a somewhat tardy appearance.
