no m0ney-0r to have no appetite and COL ds
of money! know not which is the worst.
But with me it is splendid. Things run in
grooves, as it were. A few moro dinners. a
few more nights, and my stomach will be
gone, and my money with it. But have
good time of it.
What will you do then p
'Impious wretch, do you read the Scrip
lures? Sufficient for the day is the evil
thereof. In my case, can testify to the
truth OF that passage every day. Then again
take no thought of the morrow.
As he anticipated, in few weeks Samuel
had not dollar-not cent left. He lived
few days on credit, amp then spent several
days considering whether suicide by poison
or drowning WAS the most pleasant. After
giving the subject mature consideration, he
concluded that he would not die at all, and
accepted situation as porter in whole-
sale grocery store, whose proprietor had
known his father.
He was rolling barrels one day, when his
frinds came in.
'Ha' said they. You see, now, we
were right-you are brought down to man
ual labor at thirty
Precisely what my physicians would have
prescribed for wasted constitution like
mine, said he cheerfnlly 4 am gaining
flesh under it.
They, came in again and saw him eating
brown bread and ham.
'Ha 7 they remarked. You are brought
down to plain food. We told you So
My friends, said he, impressively, were
the possessor Of millions, should, after
ten years of dissipation be compelled to eat
plain food or die. Oh, ye imbeciles can't
you see that this is natural? What differ
ence does it make whether eat brown bread
by the advice of a physician, or eat it be-
cause | can't get any other What differ
ence does it make whether l exercise my
over. taxed body in a gymnasium, where pay
for the privilege, or exercise it by rolling
barrels, for which l get paid /? Exercise and
plain food: said my doctor long ago, is what
you must have; am getting both, ye sod
den-brained Jobs comforters.'
And Samuel worked on and got his health
and finally got into business, and made mo-
ney, and had another fortune to spend; and
he spent it.

THE GRAVE DIGGER AND DMAID-SERvANT.

repeated, to the effect that there was something
wrong in certain field of his and after

and taking his gun, set cut for The spot. 1t was
summer time and all hour or Two before dawn.
On reaching the field lie saw in remote part
of 1t, faint, glimmGriDg light, toward which
he directed his steps.
On approaching he found man in the act of
digging what appeared to be intended for a
grave, the light being at the bottom. "What
ae you doibS herr ?" demanded the farmer
But without replying the fellow bounded of at
the top of his speeu, leaving behind him his
Jacket, In the pocket of which was found a
nurderous weapon, in the shape of a knife
The farmer did not pursue, but retra,ed his
steps; aud OF approaching his house met one
of his servant girls carrying IL bundle. He in

sonahe hour. But having formed her plan she
seemed bent OH carrying 1t out, and showed a
| disposition To avoid him. This, however, he
would not permit, and Insisted upon an explain
atun.
II appe ared that the wretched man who had
just been surprised In the act OF preparing fol
his wicked design, had promised to marry the
| girl and the arrangement was that she should
candesliuely leave her place and meet him at 6
specified hour and spot In the field In question
bringing with her the money she had saved
while In service. 1t need kaidly be said tina
after being apprised by her master of what he
had just witnessed the poor girl was only toe
glad and thankful to return with him; thu
doubtless escaping, through the intelpostion o

THAT $4,000 Cow.-The New York
SPIRIT Of the Times says : The short horn
COW, Eighth Duchess of Geneva, that was
purchased at the late New York Mills oy
Mr. K. 7. Davies, of Worcestershire Eng
land, at the enormous price of $40, 900 has
again changed hands, and will remain in
America, part and parcel of the herd Of
Colonel q. Morris, of Fordham, N. Y. 1t
seems that Mr.. Davies agent being unac.
customed to our currency, in the excitement
of the sale became confused as to the rela.
tive value Of dollars and pounds sterling,
and bid far beyond his authorized limit. On
his return to England his principal wrote to
MIR. Campbell, requesting him 10 dispose of
the COW tor his account, on as favorable
terms as possible. Upon hearing of this
Col Morris at once purchased her at the
price that Lord !Skimmersdale paid for his
prominent purchase, which was accepted.
In addition to this COW, we learn from Col.
Morris that he has purchased Thirteenth
Duchess of Thorndale, Twelfth Maid of
Oxford, Third Countess of Oxford and sew
eral other females of prominent breeding,
that were disposed Of at the New York Mills
sale; also, that he has purchased the old
bull Beau Of Oxford, from Mr.. Esra Cor
nell. These make n etrong combination,
and add prominence to the Scarsdale herd.

The Dry Goods Trade.

FROM the New YORK Bulletin, NOV. II.
During the week just closed there was,
on the whole, better feeling in the trade
than existed at the time of our last review.
The financial condition of the trade i'm
proved, there was no further suspensions,
and if any brief extensions on open &C
counts became necessary they were so
cheerfully and quietly accorded that they
had no influence on the market. There
was a conspicuous improvement in the
matter of collections in the interior, which
were made with less difficulty, and evil
dences of general return of confidence
were not lacking. There was no material
increase in the distribution of goods from
first hands, but freer jobbing movement
became noticeable, and a considerable ag-
gregate! amount of staple fabrics was placed
with the Western trade, from which section
of the country encouraging reports Of the
comparative activity of business, accom-
panied by liberal orders, were received
from day to day. On Thursday there was
a peremptory package auction sale of
hosiery and Cardigan jackets manufactured
by the ''Keystone Knitting Mills" of Phila-
delphia (MeSsrS. Thomas Dolan & Coz,
which attracted large number of local and
country buyers. The goods were nearly all
sold and widely distributed, but at prices
which were probably not less than forty per
cent below market rates.
The most important event of the week
was an announcement of the determination
of MesSrs. II. B. Clafin & Co. to close out
their immense stock of $6,000,000 worth of
goods to cash and 80 days buyers, in order
to accomplish which, they marked down
their stock to prices which gave evidence of
a great sacrifice on their part. Prices of
both domestic and foreign productions
were quoted at lower rates than have been
known for many years
From the New York World, Nov. ~.
The prices realized for domestic fabrics,
although some PAPER cent lower than prices
before the panic, were in all cases high
enough to leave good margin on all SINH
lar goods manufactured at the present price
of cotton and labor. Thus, for instance, if
the prices of goods and cotton this day with
the prices of. goods and cotton in August
are compared some strange and interesting
facts become patent.

the worthless preparations that lave from time

the field with that famous vegetable remedy.
Signal failure has been the lot of each and all.
