which preceded their owners arrival.

These stones are scarcely cut and do not

is treasure house in itself. The sheath
is studded with rubies, emeralds. and
diamonds which shame their settings Of
the purest gold. The front of his coat
is garnished with rows of briliants in
stead Of lace. The collar and sleeves
are crusted with them, and his orders
are of the most precious jewels. His
spurs flash like sunbeams. All this on

The Three Richest Men IN
1nericd.

The New York correspondent OF tie
Cincinnati Commercial writes: The
three richest men in America are VIM.
B. Astor, A. 7. Stewart, and Com. Van
derbilt-all residents OF New York City.
Astor's wealth is mainly in real estate
and its revenues; Yanderbilts is mainly
in railroad stocks and their dividends
Stewards is in goods, houses, stores, fac
tories, lands, and stocks. The aggregate
wealth OF each of them is supposed to be
somewhere between seyenIy.fve and a
hundred millions, which looks rather
heavy. Nobody knows exactly; they
couldn't tell themselves within million
or two. Those who know most about
their affairs put their figures highest, and
say that the income tax returns Of q few
years ago, which showed each of them
to be worth between twenty and thirty
millions. gave no proper idea of their
real wealth. Astor lives unostentatiOus'
ly; Vanderbilt lives in three story brick
house on a third class street; and Stewart
lives in marble palace on fifth avenue,
more magnificent than any other resi-
dence on the American continent. and
equaled by few in any Of the great cities
of Europe. Astor and Vanderbilt are
New Workers by birth; Stewart is q ma
tive OF the North of Ireland. Astor is =
large heavy man of seventy, with strong
features and rubicund face. indicative
of high living Stewart is medium
sized man rather slender and tall, with a
face like parchment, and gives the i'm.
preston OF being hard up; Vanderbilt is
tall, slim, handsome, proud-looking
man., of nearly eighty. straight as an ar
row. Astor has heirs 10 his estate. Van
derbilt has children to whom he can leave
his fortune; but Stewart is childless.
Astor's public beneiactions are confined
to something like couple Of hundred
thousand dollars, which he gave to the
Astor library. and the two golden candle
sticks, nine feet high, which he recently
gave to Trinity Church. Vanderbilt has
never made any public bsneiactions, ex-
cepting a steamship to the Government
during the war. till very recently, when
he gave a million dollars for educational
purposes-one halt of this sum to found
a university in Tennessee, and the other
half to another educational institution.
Stewart has always had the reputation of
being very close-fsted; but he must be
credited with his million dollar Home
for Women" which will be completed
next year. Astor is an independent
Methodist, aud Stewart is said to be in.
clned to thinking for himself. Stewart
is scholarly man; Vanderbilt is not.
Astor is IN accomplished man of the
| world.

And never lind the love they seek;
some lips with pride or sc0rn are curled
To hide the pain they may not speak.
The eyes may nash, the mouth may smile,
The voice 10 gla,ldest mirth NAV trill,
And Vet beneath them all the while
The hungry heart is pinisg still.
These know their doom, and walk their way
with level steps and steadfast eyes,
Nor strive with fate, nor weep, nor pray
While others, not so sadly wise,
Are moeked with phantoms eyermore,
And lured by seemiugs Of delight,
Fair TO the eve, but at the core
Holding but bitter dust and blight.

mark their sign on fading cheeks,
hear them breathe in smothcred sighs,
And note that grief that never speaks.
For them no might redresses wreng,
No eye with pity is impesrled;
on, miseOnstrued and suffering long,
on hearts that hunger through the world
For you does life's DUH desert hold
No fouatain's shade. no date grove fair,
Nor gush OF waters clear aud cold,
But sandy reachss wide and bare.
The foot may fall, the soul may faint,
And weigh to earth the weary frame,
And still We wake no weak complaint,
Aud speak no wori or grief or blame
Oh, eager eyes which gaze afAr!
Oh, Hrms which clasp the empty air
Not all unmarked your sorrows are,
Not all unPitied your despair.

When life's frAil tent al last is furlei.
