wero a tiny trunk-a very pretty

frightened, and began to cry,
Then tho dear little Minnie, with

"Ncvor mind, Freddy ; just sec

on tho piano in the parlor. Of
course such q transition is both
right and proper. Tho Curators

A Notable Career.

llclmbold's failure was duo to
great vanity. 1t is about four
years since hc was making his
greatest dash, and then his career
certainly was u remarkable ono,
10 had only been thrco years in
Now York, and during that timo
no had made his remedies famous
and had become rich. His income
was fifty thousand dollars per
year, and all that was required
was q continued attention to tho
business he had established. In
stead Of this, however, he became
ambitious of political distinction.
Nhon Grant was nominated tor
tho presidency, A. II. Stewart adj
vanced fifty thousand dollars to-
wards an clcctionccring fund,
llclmbold, who had the folly to
believe in Scymour's chances, de-
termincd TO outdo Stewart, and
consequently advanced one huu-
drod thousand dollars to his party.
Ono hundred thousand dollars is
II big sum Of money; it has geuc-
rally bocn considered capital
sufficient for many kinds of bust
ness. That any man should de-
i'bcrntcly throw such q sum away
can only bo explained by tho
proud desire to outrival somo
greater fool. Hclmbold, it is true,
expected to make money rapidly
but prido was continually in tho
way ofonduring success. Having
outbid Stewart in tho political
fund, ho determined to distance
tho Bclmonts md Commodore
Vanderbilt in equestrian style, and
hence his cquipago at Long Branch
was tho grandest ever soon there,
with tho single exception Of that
displayed thero by jim Fisk.
There was an inccssant rivalry be-
twccn this brace Of fools; but in
tho long run Fisk camo out ahead.
which might havo been expected
from his unbridlcd ambition and
vast resources. IIelmbold changed
his toam overy day in tho woell, but
still Fisk excollod him. Thoy
havo both rcapcd tho reward Of
their folly the ono lying in a dis
honored grave, whilo tho other is
" wnndcror in Il foreign land.

Your letters breathe q spirit Of

Say what you mean to do on ovcry

if reasonable; if not, tell him
plainly why you cannot you will
wrong him and you will wrong

man who. requires you to do 80 is
dearly purchased at sacrifice.
Deal kindly but firmly with your

and unaccountablc darkness com
ing on they shared in tho genera

WHERE THE "CoNFoUNDED Mo-
THEn' WAs.-A gentleman who
camo up tho Hudson, tells this
story:
"l noticed" ho said, "a serious
looking man, who looked as if ho
might be q clork or book keeper.
The man scomcd to bo caring for
crying baby, and was doing
everything he could to still it's
sobs. AS the child became rcst-
less in tho berth, tho gentleman
took it in his arms and carried it
to and fro in the cabin. Tho sobs
Of the child irrltaLcd rich man,
who was trying to road, until ho
blurted out loud enough for tho
father to hear
"What docs ho want to disturb
tho whole cabin with that d---.d
baby for?"
Tho man only nostlod the baby
moro quietly in his arms, without
saying q word. Then the baby
sobbod again.
"Whoro is tho confoundcd mo-
thor, that she don't stop it's noise ?"
continued tho profano grumbler.
At this the father camo up to
the man and said: II am very
sorry we disturb you sir, but my
dear baby's mothor is in her coffin
down in tho baggage room, I'm
taking her back to Albany, whore
we usod to live"
Tho hard-hearted man buried
his faco in shame, but ir u moment,
wilted by tho terrible rebuie, he
was by the side ofthe griofstricken
father. They wero both tending
tho baby.--New York Commercial.

Worthy Examples.

Tho Inst few years havo givon
to tho world many examples of
truo bcnovolonco, for which thanks
should be given continually to the
great Fountain of Morcy. Think
of George Peabody, and many
others whose munificcnt gifts for
tho benefit Of tho poor havo boon
mado known to tho public within
tho last fow years. Almost cvcry
week we read Of somo now bone
factor who has left largo sums for
tho benefit of tho poor and suffer-
ing. A very thoughtful and need
cd charity is that lately founded
by Mr.. Barnes, wealthy citizen
of Manchester, England. His will
provides that the Income from
tho bulk of his estate shall
bo applied to persons suffering
from sovoro bodily disease and
"residcnS at their own homes, not
in any almshousc, hospital, or
such like institution. Grants aro
limited to twenty pounds year,
but tho managers arc further per-
mittcd to lend, aL thoir discretion,
a sum not exceeding this amount.
A wealthy man in Pike County,
Ind, recently died, having left
his property to all tho widows
within radius OF eight miles
from his residence.
