The Ups ands Downs of Wall Street.

ONE of the most striking incidents of
the ups and downs in life has come under
nv personal observation. A very few
years ago John -- was poor but in
dustrious man, occupying the position OF
gate keeper at one of the East river ferries.
His family resided in Brooklyn tenement
house, and John expended no more funds
than was strictly necessary to the main
tenance of comfort. 1t had happened that
Commodore Vanderbilt took a fancy to
the man. 1t was one of those strange
freaks for which the Railway King is
famous, viz. taking up men in the lowest
walks of life and placing them on the
highway to fortune John may some
time have opened the gate and stopped
the ferryboat for the Commodores team,
after the time was up. Perhaps he some
time found and secured valuable horse
for him. Whatever may have been the
cause, the Commodore was lead to coach I"
him. He was put into the Harlem pool.
After the famous corner in that stock,
John found himself worth million and
quarter Of dollars. From poverty he was
lifted, in moment as 1t were,
into affluence. An elegant residence,
splendid farm on Staten Island, and val
liable stud of horses soon followed. John
w opCculnuOt "lAA
vored him. He entered into the Jerome
combinations, but here he lost heavily.
Still he had very large surplus left.
When the rise in gold occurred, last Sep
tember, John "waded in" AS the price
continued to rapidly advance, he be-
lieved, with others, that the conspirators
would carry it up to two hundred, and he
operated accordingly. When, upon that
eventful Black Friday, the collapse came,
and gold dropped in the twinkling of an
eye, as it were, from 1852 to 134, John was
"long" Caught with other bulls on the
horns of the bears, he roared and tossed
about, but all to no purpose. John was
ruined man. The fortune he once pos
sessed was completely lost He mortgagedd
property right and left, hoping to staye off
the evil day of settlement with creditors
But his last piece of property is soon to
be sold under the hammer, and John IS
where he was, pecuniarily, before the
Railway King smiled upon him.-OOr.

Rat Catching in London.

ONE other character we have here, that
I never before heard of or met with.
A most,novel sight he is to see dressed in
hunting costume, with broad enamel
leather band, passing from waist to shoul-
der, on which is fastened a huge brass
rat and the "royal coat of arms" with
this inscription beneath: "Rat Catcher
to Her Majesty?'
Over his back, slung by chain, is quite
a large wire cage, well filled with rats;
at his heels follow two or three terriers,
who now and anon bark joyfully at their
prey. Quite ludicrous picture he makes,
and one that always upsets Yankee gray
ity. We wonder if this "RatC Catcher to
Her Majesty ever makes his presence
known to members of Parliament in the
House of Lords!
However, this same man can well afford
the smiles of the incredulous as to the ex-
tent or necessity of his business for a
most imperative necessity he.is. Without
him, London would literally swarm with
the destructive pests. The extent of his
business may be known from the fact that
he is daily in receipt of large orders from
all parts of the continent for supplies of
his rats for gloVemakers and sportsmen's
use.
16 OWLS u ulCG uouSt III buc ldSllOu-
able quarter of London, and, as he drives
about the park on Sunday afternoon, his
stylish turnout is the object of much at
traction.
He yearly pays small sum for his
license, and receives one hundred pounds
per annum for keeping "St. GATHERINGS s
Docks" alone free from rats.
He visits all the shipping-his coming
being ever looked for with pleasure. Our
ship was sadly troubled with kind of rat
that he called the Norwegian ret, which
he seemed to prize highly, their fur being
sleek and black; and so proved the quail
| ty of skin as being the finest and most
elastic for glovemakers' use.
Turning to us with laugh, he said,
Tomorrow these will go to Paris to the
glove mandatory and who knows but
that the lady will wear gloves made from
these self-same skins, and wonder at their
fine texture and COLOR" Shaking a cage
of gray rats, he said: "These go to GER
tain pit where the people of quality
will meet to give recreation to their dogs. ="

Social Honor.

Every person should cultivate a nice
sense OF honor. In hundred different
ways this most fitting adjunct of the true
lady or gentleman is often tried For in.
stance, one is a guest in family where.
perhaps, the domestic machinery does NOT
run smoothly. There is sorrow in The
house unsuspected by the outer word
Sometimes it is dissipated son, whose
conduct is shame and griet to his
PARENTS sometimes relative whose &C.
centricities and peculiarities are a cloud
on the home. Or, worst of all, husband
and wife may not be in accord, and there
may be often bitter words spoken, and
harsh recriminations. In any of these
cases the guest is in honor bound to be
blind and deaf, so far as people without
are concerned. If gentle word within
can do any good, it may we'll be said, but
to go forth and reveal the shadow of an
unhappy secret to any one, even your
nearest friend, is an act of indelicacy and
meanness almost unparalleled. Once in
the sacred precincts of any home, admit
ted to its privacy, sharing its lite, all
that you see and hear is a sacred trust. lt
is as allyscontemptible to gossip of such
things as it would be to steal the silver or
borrow the books and forget to return

A FARMER in Buckinghamshire, who is

glass of ale and three halfpence for the
