How to Become a Millionaire.

Tom thought it looked very smart tn
carry his money loose in his pocket, and
take out his quarters with an air which
said, q have thousands IN my pocket.
He always crumpled his bills into shape
bit for gun wadding, and apr Iarently took
no possible care of his money. 1t was
not that money was so abundant with
him but he wished others to suppose
that il was; that it was quite beneath
his genius to care for such triting
amounts.
Do you suppose Tom deceived anybody,
or made any one respect him on this ac-
count? He might make stable boys stare
occasionally, but ali people accustomed TO
handle money knew at a glance that he
was possessed of a very shallow purse and
shalOwer brains
No business man ever desires such a
boy about his establishment. No gentle
man but would aish nis boy TO shun such
an associate. "Straws tell which way
the wind blows" and the wsya boy takes
care of his money pretty surely foretells
bis future fortune.
Successful business men did not carry
their money loose in their jacket when
they were boys. They were prudent of
even the pennies.
Some one asked Mr. Astor, in his old age,
to tell him the secret of his great success
in making money.
Very willingly" said the old gentle
man. "Just draw up your chair, and we
will pvt out the lights, as We can talk just
as well in the dark"
90, / see !" said the man. The Sc
cret is unraveled Ycu became million
aire by saving what others waste"
les, the way to gain million dollars
is to begin by saving the cents They will
soon turn into dimes, and the dimes TO
dollars"
If you desire to become a millionaire,
buy you a good strong purse large enough
to hold the pennies, and let trugality fur
nish you a pair of strings for it. Then
with industry and perseverance, you may
soon be able to make a good beginning for
comfortable fortune.-.Sch0oI-day Vts-

FultOn's First Steamboat.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Genera COur-
ier relates the following story of the "Kate
Morgan" the little steamer which for
more than generation has piled on Cay
uga lake, her owners Obeying the behcst
OF the first proprietor to "run her till she
bustS:"
Before the Chancellor Livingstone
stemmed the current OF the Hudson, yet
after the little Clermont had stirred the
quieter waters of the Collect Pond, the
| whistle Of the Kate Morgan agoke the
echoes in Taughanic Glen, and her pad
dle-wheel dashed the spray upon Cayuga
bridge. There is a bit of romance attach
Jug to her name and building.
Old General Morgan, of revolutionary
| fame, had a noble estate on the western
| bank of the lake, not far from where the
present Wells College now stands. Be
| tween his only daughter, a lovely girl of
Is, and young Fulton, had long existed a
tender attachment, which, however, the
poverty and obscurity of Robert led the
| General severely to frown upon. Fulton
went to New York He labOred long
years i'll perfecting his invention; his day
| of triumph came, and then he wrote to
the stern father, relating his success, and
asking for the daughters hand.
Nay" wrote back the incredllOus old
soldier, "rll believe what | see with my
own eyes. Come you back, scapegracc,
to the lake; build and sail a steamboat
past my own door, and then, and not till
then, shall you have my daughter kste. "
Need | say that Fulton came joyfdlly
| back; that steamer was built as quickly
as circumstances would permit; that she
was launched, and, in due course of time,
did trlumphantly sail past the Generals
door! But let me add that, according to
an express stipulation, made by TIE sly
Robert, In case he succeeded, when the
Kate Morgan sheered in toward the Gen
erals dock small boat was seen pushing
out, containing the original Kate, her
grim father, and gentleman in clerical
vestments. They were soon on board
and there, amid the waving OF flags, the
ringing OF bells, and the blowing OF
whistles, the proud inventor and bi:
prouder bride were made one A glorious
sweep up and down the lake completed
the first bridal trip by steam ever known
in this country.
Before we leave this historic boat let u:
go below moment Here are the old
fashioned engines, inscribed "Trcman
Cartwright j. Co" They were the frs
engine builders in the United States, and

A Valuable WOOdcut In Philadelphia

THERE is said to be a paper in Phila
delpha which has one woOdcut 1t was
engraved originally to represent Arthur
Spring, but the proprietor liked it SO
much that he determined to keep it on
hand, and run it into the paper whenever
anybody else was hung, or died, or was
elected, or made speech. And SO every
time portrait was wanted, this woodcut
was altered To fit it. First the hat was
cut down, then the nose chiseed into va
nous shapes then the eyes were gouged
little; then the head was altered and the
cheeks followed cut 1t never at its best
looked like any human being that had
ever existed in this wide world but that
made no difference, for the proprietor
always jamued it right in every time with
fresh name and biographical sketch.

An Indian Romance.

GRACE GREENWOOD writes as follows
At the Land Office, the other day, Mr..
Wilson, the Commissioner, who has col
lected a remarkably curious and valuable
cabinet and museum, showed us a singu-
lar trophy of Indian warfare-a head
dress of the most frighttul and diabOlical
description. 1t was composed of buffalo
horns and skin, adorned with wampum
and tinsel, and long, wild tufts of buffalo
hair. Depending from it was a tail of in
ordinate length, also tinseled and tufted,
with small sleigh-bells running all the
way down it. This unique accoutrement
was once the property of Tall Bull, a
CHEYENNE Chief, who was killed in fight
with the United States Fifth Cavalry and
their Pawnee auxiliaries, under General
Carr, some time last summer When this
chief, who was a gigantic savage, raw that
the day was lost, he put his wife aid child
on pony, and sent them within tur lines,
telling them to surrender to the whites.
The Indian fwOman, who was kindly re-
ceived, said that when her husband told
her she must give herself up, she urged
him 10 go with her, but that he covered
his ears with his hands to shut out her
entreaties, and rushed back into the fight,
which was the last she ever saw of the
lamented Tall Bull. He was speedily
killed, and these are his remains In this
same engagement, another Cheyenne wO-
man, young and remarkably handsome,
came dashing into our ranks, with two
children strapped to her pony. Bat she
did not come to surrender. She came like
fighting fury, armed with n long knife
with which she struck frantically right
and left. At last, seeing herself about to
be captured, she stabbed 70 the heart first
one child, then the Other, then herself
and SO perished-a Medea whom there is
no Euripides To immortalize.

Infanticlde.

Rev. Robert Collyer of the West
crn Monthly, gives this expressive
thought:
There is a word to say about
infanticide that goes deeper than
that of the physician, the political
economist, or the patriot. 1t is
this: That in some way we can
even imagine, we may have made
the whole world poorer by what
we have done. What a loss to
the world if one such sin had been
hidden away in Stratford-upon-
Avon; or in the poor clay diggin,
two miles from Ayr, in Scotland;
or in a hut, near Newcastle, in Eng
land; or in many another place,
shielded and shrouded then, as cur
homes are now, but since then
lifted up among the shining points
of the world! | could wish no
worse hell for my worst enemy, if
l should even take to bad wishing,
than that one should haunt him
in eternity who might have come
and poured mighty treasure INTO
the common wealth Of the world
but for that sin,

Robbery on a Railroad Train.

The following account Of the
robbery on a train Of the c., H. &
D. Railroad, on the evening of the
22d inst, is from the Dayton Jour
nal:
A gentleman named Britt Paint
er, a dealer in horses, who resides
in Piqua, and is well known in this
city, was robbed Of three thousand
dollars in currency on a train on
the c.. II. d d. Railroad, between
Cincinnati and Hamilton, on Tues
day evening. We learn that Mr..
Painter had sold lot Of horses at
Cincinnati, for which he received
the money, which he placed in his
pocket, and alterward took passa &c
on the evening train for Dayton
He occupied seat in the rear car,
and fell asleep before reaching
Hamilton. On arriving at that
point the car which he had OcCu-
pied was cut off and left standing
on the side track, and a short time
afterward Mr.. Painter was aroused
from his slumber by some one
who slapped him on the shoulder,
remarking that that was the place
he wanted to stop. He got Off the
car, supposing he had arrived at
Dayton, but soon ascertained he
was mistaken. Upon examining
his pocket he discovered his mon
ey, amounting to $4,000 was gone.
1t had been distracted from his
pocket while asleep, either on the
way up from Cincinnati or after he
arrived at Hamilton. OF course
all efforts to find any trace Of the
missing money were unsuccessful,
and no clue to the perpetrators Of
the robbery could be found. Mr..
Painter came up to Dayton the
same night on the midnight train.

How Cars are Crowded.


Coates Kinney, in the Xenia (O.)
Torchlight, tells very amusingly
his experience in a crowded car
He says: "The 9 O'Clock train
this morning, up from Xenia, was
packed with people-but loosely
packed, as is the royal American
custom. A long string Of a man
coiled all over two seats, with a
hard knot of head up in the win
dow and a double bow knot of
boots over in the aisle; an incuba-
lively wide-crinolined woman
spreading defnantly and cluckish-
ly spiteful at any entering passen-
ger Of the same gender, who offer
ed to shove her over; a man and a
woman with three valises, two
baskets, five fower-pots, eight
shawls, a bird-cage and an invalid
poodle, preemptiYely asserting en-
inent domain over all of four seats;
50 loosely was this train over
crowded with passengers when we
entered it at Xenia.
1T requires courage to get a
seat here. To get three seats re-
quircs audacity. We possess au-
dacity as a natural gift, and we
pushed for the four seats which
contained the man, the woman, the
valises, the baskets, the fower-pots,
the shawls, the bird cage, and the
indisposed poodle. We PROFOUND
to the man the preposterous in
quiry, whether or not he occupies
all four CT these seats. AS If we
couldn't see that he just more than
occupied them! Man, with full
measure Of disgust appropriate to
the situation, as though sick in his
very soul with our impertinence,
promptly and sharply replies he
rather does occupy these four seats;
and his decisive emphasis, cerrOb-
Grated by the before detailed sp-
pearance Of things, goes to indi-
cate that he means to be understood
as occupying every inch Of them.
but, my dear sir, have you paid
for four seats Z" This was an out
rageOus question; and we fancied
the valetudinarian poodle gave
symptoms of fainting at the shock
of it.
"Yes, sir, l have paid for them !"
this response coming with an in
dignant pop, as if jerlled out with
q cork screw. Well, sir, we shall
see if you have. We had become
obstinate, and believed we had
a call to fight it out on that line
We therefore reinforce with the
conductor, and moved upon the
works. The man offered to bet the
conductor some four dollars and
half, we think it was, that payment
for seat implied whole slip, and
that he only had what his ticket
called for. The conductor very
courteously declined to take the
bet, but did take the valises and
the rest of the inventory out eftwo
of the four seats, making the other
two look like an overloaded furni-
ture- car, with the little family
packed in the middle. AS our
two ladies went into possession Of
| the vacated premises, we felt
pang of remorse for our action Of
ejectment.

MARRYING FOR LOVE.
Number ten married because she
loved her husband with all her soul
and ALI her heart. And she loves
him still, and will probably con-

We have the right motive at

to live true and holy lives before
