OTHER INSTANCES,

Here is William B. Aston, the lar
gest own of real estate in Ameri>
ca. Do you think his life is an ca
sy one ? Why, he is, after ali. only
a land agent, and he lives in no bot
ter style than some other land ag-
ents. When l thus speak of Aston,
L mean that his life is devoted to
the care of an estate, and hence he
may DO viewed merely as an agent.
This idea was once neatly develops
cd by his father. Some one, many
years ago, congratulated old John
Jacob IN his immense possessions.
Sir" was the old mans reply,
"would you be wiling to take care
of the property for Jour mere board
and clothes ?" The proposal vas a
startling one, and the speaker seem.
ed to jemur. "Wel, sIr," replied
Aston, "that's all I get"
William B. Astor works hard and
dresses plainly. His appearance to
a stranger Is that of mediocre res
portability : and he might be tax
en-, as he walks up Broadway, for
an old fashioned bank clerk going
home after a hard days work. He
lives in a large house, built about
thirty years ago, and hence of O
style which is decidedly antique
The street, too, Lafayette place.
Is questionable ; and, in fact, all
the old man has left him is hard
work and plain clothes, with jus:
enough to eat and drink for the rest
of his days.

TzE only word of consolation for
her neighbor scross the channel
contained in Queen Victoria's re-
cent speech to the houses of Parlia-

"must ever be regarded as the prin-
cipal and indispensable member Of
the great commonwealth Of Eu-

bling the scenein the House ofPeers
when the Queen appeared, says
e'The Queens presence vas the

by the Germans are: /. The ces>

consists offour hundred and thirty
seven square miles-the part of
Lorraine to be coded including
Metz ; 2. The contribution of ff-
teen hundred millions of francs for
war expenses ; 8. Thirty millions
of francs for captured German
ships 4. Forty millions of francs
for German workmen, clerks, and
small industrial interests expelled
from France and 5. A fer millions
of francs chow many, not stated
for crippledsand MANNED Germans
and orphans caused by the war
OF course if France assents 10 such
brutal demands it will be because
hor pawers of resistance are exhau.

the American nation TO further ex-
