How He spent HIS Money.

4 marked instance in which ga fool and
his money soon parted has lately reached its
elimination in New, York. A! young man
named Buttle came to his majority about two
years since, his 21st birthday bringing him
into control of fortune of $3.50, 900. He
soon married a Southern lady, who, it would
seem, had, to al, uncommon degree, weak
ness peculiarly pertaining to Southern Wp-
men-fondness for jewelry and dress-for
she permitted her husband to load her down,
in the first year Of their married life, with
$780, in, diamonds, and also sported a
5000 wardrobe. f.! This spendthrift took very
expensive rooms at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
drove his fast horses, and the two devoted
their time to cutting a swell generally He
also ganlbled in Wall street. On the Black
Friday he lost $50, 900, and the expenses the
first year of himself and wife were some
10000. Becoming rapidly impecunious, he
sold his horses, and changed his boarding
place, going to the Gilsey House, where he
forged draft in payment of his board, was
detected and arrested. His friends casting
about to help him out, discovered that he had
sold for less than half their cost his wife's
diamonds back to the jewellers of whom they
were purchased that he lost that money in
three days in stocks, and that he had secretly
pawned his wife's wardrobe, and was not
only forger but beggar; the only son of
one of the iold-style merchant princes who
had battled rthe world successfully and died
in a delusion that his son would not be forced
to work for a living The wife, it is said,
was ignorant of the condition of things until
the arrest of her husband as a forger. r. aa

open to them; and we rejoice that this move

THE YEAR 1872.

The record Of the year 1872 is not one
Of many startling or wonderful events.
No great wars have devastated the earth,
no frightful earthquakes have upheaved
its crust, and with the exception of the
ravages of the cholera in Western Europe,
and the suffering in Persia from want and
starvation, neither pestilence nor famine
have been known to any extent. Look
Ing over the broad globe, we have to con-
ciude that upon the whole the year has
been as favorable as the average of years
70 the human family, though here and
there it has made wrecks and spread dis.
asters.
In our own country the occurrence q
the Presidential election was the most ex
eating event of the year. Next In i'm
portance to that politically was the com
pletion of the work at Geneva, bv whic1
peace with England was sealed, an
troublesome questions were settled whic
would have been continual menace an
source of disturbance to the friendly r,
lations Of the two governments, had the
been left open. Among the best work ,
1872 for the future peace of this countr
we must put the Geneva settlement an
the decision In the San Juan case. 1t IS
work which will be remembered. All Il
material Interests the country have bee
prosperous. Our crops have been abu,
dant, our industries have expanded, con
merce has grown. the rich has been S,
cure In his possessions and the laborer ha
had all the employment at fair wages tha
his hands were willing to do. We hay
made good progress In lifting the countr
from the burden Of debt and the derange
ment social and political caused by tn
rebellion. Although the South is 70
troubled with turbulent spirits, the basis
peace and national unity is establishe
and cannot be shaken The reelection
President Grant Is the assurance of a fir,
and stable government. We have lost
death during the year men Of distinguishe
character. among whom are Sewar,
Greeley, Meade, Morse, Bennett, Forres
and many others that may be called
mind. Among disasters the Boston fire
the largest. which has recently been SUI
plemented by quite destructive fires in VI
rious parts of the country, those in Ne

York being the greatest. While We have

York being the greatest While We have
not escaped railroad disasters, the num-
Der has been less than usual, the loss OF
life less. The catastrophe in Pennsyiva-
mia last week seems to have been the
| worst of the season; indeed the last few
weeks have furnished the larger part of
the whole destruction for the year. In
the record of ocean tempests and wrecks
of vessels the year stands almost unpar-
aneled. Many fine steamers have per-
ished by fire or storm, many noble vessels
have been wrecked, carrying down with
them to the oceans depths hundreds of
precious lives, and strewing the shores
with valuable merchandise. Since De-
oember began there has been succession
OF storms Of the greatest severity, while
the depth Of the snow and intensity of
cold are greater than any which can be
remembered at the same season by the
Oldest inhabitant. Let US not forget that
this was the year of the great musical jul
bilee, also that in it were taken the pre-
liminary steps to the celebration of the
Centennial Anniversary of Independence,
and that the question Of woman suffrage
first took prominent place in politics.
In foreign contries there have been
no extraordinary events. The general
quiet is the most noticeable feature among
governments. No war Of any magnitude
has existed, that in Cuba and the disturb
anccs in Spain being the most serious. The
French government has presented
the most interesting and import
ant spectacle, in the efforts of
the people to establish it upon a perma-
nent basis, in which they have not yet sue
ceeded. A few days ago there were ru-
mors that England wonld step across the
pathway of Russia in the march of the
latter towards Khiva, but late accounts
deny any prospect of hostilities between
those nations. Prussia maintains her
high rank as awen governed power.
Spain is volcanic. but her young King
survives though for what tiLle cannot be |
conjectured. Italy continues quiet, but
the Pope is not satisfied with the situation. |
and meditates reinstatement in power in |
Rome. During the year the South Amer
can governments of Brazil, Paraguay and
Uruguay have settled their quarrels and
peace reigns between them. Mexico Is
TRANQUIL under new President, Juarez
having died during the year. Many dis
tinguished men Of other countries are on
the roll of the dead for 1872, of whom we
mention Mazzini. Charles XIV of Sweden.
Sir Henry l.. Bulwer, Charles Lever,
whose names are familiar to our readers.

with famine and the cholera s,i ,.a i sl

membered for any remarkably great
events, it may we'll be kept in recollection
for the more than average peace and hap
piness which have followed along its /
course over the most Q. the nations and |
peoples fthe earth.
