A CONTRAST.

One of the surprising contrasts pre-
sented here is that found between the
colossal transactions of some business
men and the extreme triviality of those
of others. For instance, look at the
grand warehouse of A. T. Stewart,
whose daily sales exceed 500, 900, and
then see the apple-woman, whose stand
is on the sidewalk in front, and who
thinks six-ceMt or even o three-cent
transaction matter of importance.
How these petty stands afford their
owners q living in this expensive city is
q mystery; but some of them are we'll
patronized. The orange stands in Vesey
street, near Washington market, are
very lively, and are kept by class of
importunate young women whose fea-
lures are the result of exposure to all
kinds of weather. The interests of
these people are affected by matters
which some of our readers would call
very trihing. For instance, the recent
advance in the price of oranges and
lemons is to them serious calamity.
The competition is very sharp and the
profits light, and when this kind of
fruit is more than thirty cents per dozen
the sales are diminished.
While making small purchase at
one of these stands, the woman ex-
planned the limited amount of her stock
by piteous reference to the advance
in price, adding mournfully, 81 don't
know what poor folks can do to make
liyinn." Few of these street stands
have capital OF more then 50, out of
which the owners contrive to live, even
when room rent is So to $40 per month.
l know man of benevolent turn
who has set up in business several poor
women by loans of from two to three
dollars, and has seen them succeed in
manner satisfactory to themselves.
There are hundreds and perhaps thous-
ands of dealers here whose capital is
under ten dollars, and to this class lit
tie things have corresponding impor
tance. An orange woman will invest
her entire capital in box of this fruit
and also box of oflemons, and this of stock
she will, to save carriage, carry a basket
full at time to her room in some ten
ement house. Every day a portion will
be offered for sale and the stand will I've
replenished until fresh purchase be
required. If there be any such thing
as patience in trade it is found in this
humble class, whose troubles and pri-
vations I have noticed for years.

PUT DOWN THE BRAKES.

No matter how well the track is laid.
Nonlatter how strong the engine is made,
When You find it running down the grade,
Put down the brakes
If the demon of drink has entered the soul,
And his power is getting beyond control,
And dragging yOu on to IA terrific goal,
Put down the brakes!
Remember the adagc, don't tritle with fire, -
Temptations you know, is always a liar;
Ii You want To crush ont burning desire.
Put down the brakes!
Are You running in debt by living too fast?
DO YOU look Glck with shame on q prOtitlcSs
past.
And feel that your ruin is coming at last
Put down the brakes!
Whether for knowledge, or for honor or gain,
You're fast wearing out your body and brain,
Till nature no longer can bear the strain,
Put down tho brakes!
Tho human is weak since Adams fall
Beware how you yield to appctite's call,
BE temperate in all llthings," was practiced by
Paul;
Put down the brakes!
All, n terrible thing is human life!
Its track with many Il danger is rife:
DO you seek for the victOrS crown in tho
strife?
Put down the brakes.

EXTRAORDINARY ANswERs.-A pupil of
Abbie Sicord gave the following extra
ordinary answers:
What is gratitude ?"
Gratitude is the memory of the
heart"
What is hope?"
Hope is the blossom of happiness. &"
What is the difference between
hope and desire?'
d" Desire is tree in leaf, hope is a
tree IN flower, enjoyment is a tree in
What is eternity?"

row--a line that has no end"
What is God %
The necessary being, the sun of

AZ The sale of railroad property in
California, which is said to have been
recently effected, is one of the most gi-
gantic private financial operations which
has ever occurred in this or any other
country. Four-ffths of the extensive
lines and vast properties Of the Central
Pacific and California Railroad Com
pany have been sold to the Southern
Pacific road of which Tom Scott is the
head. The Central Pacific owns more
lines of railroads than any other in the
United States. They include the west
ern half of the Pacific Railroad, from
Ogden to San Francisco, about 800
miles; q second line from Sacramento
to San Francisco, nearly 100 miles;
lines north and south and through the
center of the State of California,
stretched toward Oregon on the north,
and to a connection with the Southern
Pacific road OH the south, and amount
ing now to nearly 400 miles of COM
pleted track; and the Napa Valley Rail-
road of so miles-in all, something like
1,50O miles. Besides this, the company
owns the steamboats, on the Sacramento
river to San Francisco bay, and valua-
bic ferry privileges and wharves and
real estate, both in San Francisco and
at Oakland and Alameda opposite. In
addition to all this, the company has
line of $50 miles of road due south of
San Francisco through the coast valleys,
extending in the direction of Los An
geles and San Diego, where, by con-
nection with the Southern Pacific
Railroad, it will form the San Francisco
end thereof. All the other main prop
critics of the company, save one-fifth
share, which is still held by Leland
Stanford, one of the original owners,
and the present and continuing presi-
dent, have been transferred by G. p.
Huntington and Mark Hopkins to
company of San Francisco capitalists.

HANDS, AND WHAT THEY MEAN.-Hands
are infinitely varied Their shape, tint,
the nails, length, width, rounlness,
are rs different as individuals. There
are hands that seem intellectual in their
symmetry, beautiful hexibility and
grace of motion. Some are soft and
voluptuous, and others precise, striking
and brilliant. The form of the hand
often expresses the capabilities of the
person to whom it belongs. The strong
palm, conical fingers, and small thumb
indicate in women Incidence, fancy and
feeling. Tho square hands belong to
the intellectual and ambitious, and
those who influence and rule. The
small, soft, almost fleshlcss hands, but
rosy and with knotted fingers, are bril-
liant and witty. Fingers delicately
squared at the ends, love domestic life
The small thumb and fingers, broad
ening at the ends, desire activity and
u practical knowledge of the world.
There are smooth and knotted fingers
to the first belongs grace, to the second,
reason. Conical hands with pointed
fingers obey inspiration, and Worship
the beautiful in painting, poetry, ro-
nance, and nature. There are soft
hands more capable of tenderness than
of love, and delicate fingers that are
formed for sensitiveness and sympathy
of touch and made to minister to pain
and grief" hard hands that know not
tenderness, but are not ignorant of love;
rough hands that the heart teaches
and guides, and softens."
