TIE MEANEST MAN. 1t turns out aE-
ter all that the meanest man is not the man
who split up his wife's tombstone, Burrows
is even meaner than he. Burrows was an
inveterate tobacco chewer, but his wife de-
tested the practice, and made home tenn
pestuous and stormy for him when he in
dulged in the habit there. He always
chewcd when away during the day, and
6eulare! t. his wife that he had stoIped
permanently. Bat one evening upon en-
tcriIg the front door and drawing out his
handkerchief, he accidentally pulled out
his paper of tobacco, and without noticing
it, left it lying on the door. When Bur
rows sat down to tea, his wife walked in
with the tobacco in her hand, and looking
Burrows firmly in the eye, said
do you know who that belongs to p,
With great presence of mind Burrowa
turned scOwling to his Oldest boy, and said
with severe voice Immortal Mars is
it possible that you have begun to.chew to-
baccO, you young reprobate ? Where'd
you get that nasty stuff? What d'you
mean by such conduct, YOU young villain 7
Haven't | told you often enough to let to-.
hncco alone Come here to me, or I'll tear
the jacket of of you." And as he spoke
the stern father made grab at the boy and
dragged him out in the entry, where he
Chastiscd him with cane Then Bur
rows threw the tobacco over :hc feAes,
where he went and got it in the morning
and enjoyed 1t during the day. 'Merciful
Moses ~ nc exclaimed when he told us
about it, what would have done if all nf9
children had been girls ? 1t makes au old
fathers heart glad when he feels that he
has n boy he can depend on in such emer~

THE SECOND WARD Musa.

Potter, Dabb, Carlton. Jenkins, Tenney,
and Connolly tilted for two hours and
more--Judge Tenney and Mr.. Egan
monopolizing most of the time in an
acrimonious debate.
A great many people cannot under
stand how an inspector can certify to
the election Of certain mon, and yet oh
ject to the election OF others-esp ecial-
ly when he charges foul dealing with
the ballot-box. 1t is almost certain
that the election of Mr.. Feore will be
declared null and void, in which event

THERE is horde of irresponsible real
estate brokers iufesting the city and
country to whom honest people should
give q wide berth. These fellows offer
for sale wild cats titles which are value
less, and mortgages upon worthless pro-
perty. One of them was recently con-
victed of having swindled citizen of
Albany by giving him as security for
his homestead, which the broker had
bought, three mortgages upon wild and
valueless land which he had represent
ed as being OF great value. Why peo-
pie should deal with these fellows, when
there are real estate brokers in abund-
ance of whose integrity and capacity
there can be no question, is inexplica-
BILE. The leading firms engaged in leg
itimate real estate brokerage in this city
have won wide reputation for the care
and honesty with which their business
is transacted. 1t is with them that eau
tons people deal, while the swindlers
prey upon unsophisticated and confid-
ing purchasers.

In the midst of our financial troubles
let none despair. Rays Of brightness
begin to tighten up our dreary pathway.
Banks may fail to honor the drafts of
depositors, and when an explanation is
demanded by an exasperated trades
man, officers may say that everything is
lovely, when the humbugged deposition
knows better. Many pretty girls may
continue to protest that they have moth
ing to wear, when they have at least tif
ty dresses each. But one cheering fact
cannot be successfully controyerted !:
cabbage, one of the Injuries successful
ly cultivated by Adam when he left Pa
radise, and was obliged 10 work that he
might not starve--cabhage is cheap /!
Delightful fact Hereafter will we dine
on cabbage. AS long as We can purchase
a couple of largo cabbage for dime,
our hoarders shall have - generous sup
ply. We passed few delightful weeks,
last summer, with nmiahe cousins re-
siding iii rural districts. They treated
us handsomely, and we regretted that
we conld not prolong onr stay. When,
with moist eyes and gentle pressure
OF the hand we babe them HI affection
ate adieu, we pressed them to visit US
late in the autumn, and enjoy an ele-
giant hospitality. They will be with us
directly, we hear, and therefore we have
ordered hundred cabbage. for which
we propose to pay three dollars when
something turns up. Ii our grocer, who,
being new conner, has not yet got his
eyeteeth cut, will trust us for the succu-
lent vegetables, we intend to entertain
our pretty cousins with princely gene
rosity-on cabbage, They shall have it
boiled, fried, or on the half shell, re-
CARELESS of cost. These cousins are no.
BILE souls, and we intend to strain a
point to make their visit memorable
epoch in their history. SMIKE.
