How Jim Fisk Got His Start.

From the Chicago Post.
When Fisk was about ten years
of age he kept a small market stand
in Benningtop, Vermont. One day
the eminent steamboat man, Daniel
Drew, came to the market with his
basket on his arm. BE asked young
Fisk if his eggs were fresh. You
bet" replied the ingenious boy,
"pop pulled them off the vines this
morning" "Give me a dozen, SON
n.y." replied Mr.. Drew. The next
stall was kept by little Eliphalet
Buckram. is this pumpkin good
my SOM" asked the venerable stock
broker. 1T is good enough Nor
gan" answered the truthful child,
"but, sir, if you viii examine that
portion concealed from too seruti-
nizing view, by contact with the
boards forming the counter of the
stall, you will see that there is bad
spot In It," "Does not that seem
unbusinessike, my child, to cry
down your own wares? asked the
kind-hearted millionaire. My
sainted mother told me 1 must neY-
er tell lie with my little hatchet,
responded Eliphalet Buckram. The
rich man was moved to tears; he
took out his purse and gave Elipha-
let Buckram pat on the head, and
said he was a good boy. When he
had gone, Eliphalet Buckram said
to little James, 80, James, what
made you tell such fib? You know
those eggs were laid three weeks
ago. Y1u viii see that 1 have gain
ed q customer, and you have lost
one" Well, when Eliphalet went
home, his stepmother came to the
door and said: "Here you are, you
lazy little sneak, and you havn't
sold that pankin yeti I'll punkin
youl" And she took him in her
stepmotherly arms aud famed him
with an OK goad until he said that
he would prefer taking meals off
the mantlepiece for the next few
consecutive days to sitting down
with the rest OF the family. And
next day Daniel Drew came into the
market ga rearin' and a tearin'," as
old inhabitants say, and said:
s'Whsre Is the boy that sold me
those eggs, eh?'' and Jim Fisk point
ed to Eliphalet and said; 'There
he is, sir" .and Daniel Drew rein
forced that boys stepmother's OK
goad with his cane SO effectually
that-but never mind. So Daniel
| Drew bought all his garden sass OF
jim Fisk In after life Elipbalet
| Buckram set up a grocery store, and
gave trust to all the poor people,
and never sanded his sugar, and
wouldn't qualify his rum with water;
80 he burst up, and the sheriff sold
him out, and he went to the poor
house. But Daniel Drew kept his
eve on Jim Fisk, and by-and-bye he
gave him a partnership in the Erie
firm, and Jim beat him out of 81
OOOO0O. This is not a story for
good little boys. We fear it Is too
near the truth.

A Syrian convert to Christianity
was urged by his employer to go to
work on Sunday, but declined,
But, " said the master, ''does not
your Bible say that if a man has an
OK or an ass that falls into q pit on
the Sabbath Day he may pull him
out? " Yes, said the Syrian,
but if an ass has habit of falling
into the same pit every Sabbath Day
then the man should fill up the PIT
or sell the ass. "

Il a PERIODICAL WIDOW.
How YOHisg Robert COuFted Her
Reward Of Pluck and Perseverance
"A Race and q Wife
r,--1-, H., ~, ss+.- -fF3s = Renub1fcao

lFrom the chester (fa-g hePuD4Cal-3
Another very courtable widow
was a young lady of Washington,
Pennsylvania She became engaged
to a young man named. Robert,
In 1916. Her father, however, OBJ
jected to this match with gone of his
clerks, and when the yonng lady
received tempting proposal from
wealthy suitor the paternal in
huence. .soone ffected a marriage, de-
spite the former engagement. .,ss
In less than three months her
husband was killed by kick from
a horse. Robert was a second time
a suitor, but delayed the Important
question until fifteen months had
elapsed, when, to his borrow, she
informed that she was engaged In
three months thereafter she was
married.
Two years elapsed, when the mar
red couple removed to Syracuse, New.
York, where among the victims of
the cholera, when the Pestilence
swept that city, was the second.
Robert again sought her hand, and
when year had elapsed was on the
eve of a declaration, when 10 ! he
received an invitation to her we'd
ding. Her late husbands business
was found to be in such state that
to avoid Immense losses she mar
ried the surviving partner.
Shortly after she removed with
her third husband to Detroit, Mich
igan. A few years elapsed, when
herself and husband were on a
steamer that was wrecked near But
falo. The husband perished, and
the wife escaped solely through the
exertions of a friend who was on
board. His gallantry inspired such
sentiments in her breast that she
married her brave preserver a few
months after her third widowhood.
The happy pair removed to Pitts
burg, where the husband was en-
gagedi IN mercantile business.
Thither Robert, cherishing his first
love, followed them. One dav as
be was passing the husbands store
be saw a terrible commotion. Rush
ing in, he beheld the mangled corpse
of that gentleman ON the floor. A
tierce of rice, in being hoisted to
the upper story, had fallen through
The traps, killing him instantly.
Robert inquired if any
one had been sent to inform his wife,
md was told that the book-keeper
mad just gone.
Robert started for Allegheny City,
where the. deceased had resided, at
he top of his speed. The book
keeper was Just ahead of him, and
rom past experience, knowing the
7irtue of prompt action, and appre-
lending that the clerk had designs
IN the widow, he ran for dear life,
iide by side. The race continued
1ntiI they reached Hand-street
bridge, when the clerk was obliged
o stop to pay the tolls, while
Robert, a commuter, passed over
without stopping. Reaching the
house of the widow first, Robert
old the heartreuding news, and in
he same breath made a proposal
,f marriage. He was accepted.
True to her promise, after a year of
mourning she became his wife. All
Ter husbands had died wealthy.
Robert was comfortably fixed after
Ill. This case is a remarkable ex-
ample of what pluck and persever-
lnce will do for a man, while at the
same time it teaches Il lesson on the
hangers of delay.

In connection with the new Epis-
copal Hymnal, the Church Journal
says: "That the committee have
dropped at least fourteen of the
hymns reported in October (several
since the adjournment of Conven-
tion), and besides filling their
places have added enough to swell
the whole number to five hundred
and twenty. It now contains one
hundred and fifty-eight hymns from
"Hymns Ancient and Modern, "
besides many others equally good
that are not in tnat collection, and
this volume has nearly sixty hymns
that were not in the book as first re
ported to the Convention. We
ike the book far better than, we ex-
pected.

THERE was a fresh example of the
worthlessness of expert testimony
during a recent trial for forgery at
Tauton. A couple of experts dis
posed of the prisoner at the bar
very summarily. When Mr.. Henry
D. Hyde, of Boston, his counsel,
handed the smartest expert four old
envelopes and asked him if he
could tell whose hand writing was
on them, the Witness after taking
time to examine them said that
'Ethe superscriptious on the en-
velopes were all in the same hand
writing, and all written by the man
who forged the check" Mr.. Hyde
at once took the stand, and taking
the envelopes, said "This one was
written by the clerk of the Boston
Water Power Company, this one by
a friend of mine in New York, the
third is my own handwriting, and
the fourth is the prisoners" sub
stantiating his statement by pro-
ducing the letters received in some
of the envelopes.-SpringfIeld Re

John Adams.

John Adams, the father of John
Quincy Adams, used to say, "When
I was boy I had to study the
Latin grammar, butt was dull, and
I hated it. My father was anxious
to send me to college, and there
fore I studied the grammar till /
could bear it no longer, and, going
to my father, told him L did not
like study, and asked him for other
employment. It was opposing
his wishes, and he was quick in his
answer. .....
"Well, John, said=be. eff Latin
grammar does not suit you, you
may try ditehing-perha that
will. Ny meadow yonder needs a
ditch, and you may putby grammar
and dig"
''This seemed a delightful change,
and to the meadow I went, but soon
found ditching harder than Latin,
and the first forenoon, was the long
est I ever experienced. "
That day 1 ate the bread of la
Dor, and right glad was I when
night came on. That night 1 made
a comparison between Latin gram
mar and ditching, but said not a
word about it. .
"I dug the next forenoon, and
wanted to return to Latin at dinner
time But it was too humiliating,
aud I could not do it. At night
toll conquered pride, and 1 told my
father-one of the sweetest lessons
in my life-that, if he chose, ]
would GO back 20 Latin grammar.
He wasglad of it, and if 1 have
gained any distinction, it has been
owing to my days labor in that
abominable ditch. "
Daniel Webster did not like now
lug any better than John Adams
liked ditching. His father told him
to +" hang his tcythe to suit him
self, and he went and hung it on q
tree. However, both Adams and
Webster worked harder than most
of the boys. nowadays do with
their muscles. . as
