Haper's Magazine for March has an unlim-
tied variety Of instructive and entertaining
matter, profusely illustrated with sixty-nne
engravings.
At the outset we are initiated into the
mysteries of "Life on Board Man Of-War, :"
by Commander William Gibson, who, in a
very spirited and somewhat poetic style, fol-
lows the ship from its going into commission
through the characteristic features Of its
cruise, which are also efieC lively represented
in illustrations.
Then we saunter "AlOng the Elb" with
Junius Henri Browne, giving our attention
mainly to that remarkable and romantic re-
gion known as the Saxon Switzerland, be-
tween Aussig and Dresden, and to the note
worthy features Of the latter city-the capital
of SaXonv. Mr.. Brownies article j. beauti-

Eve" colOred centenarian who, in the

F. Ward, we have very instructive paper,

freshness and charm which have thus far
fascinated its readers. And Wilkie Collins,
in "The New Magdalen," still holds his
readers 10 suspense, and the denouement Of
his story in allegiance, as is his wont. In
addition to these remarkable serials, there
are two excellent short stories, my Tramp"

paint but half his merit. He was
scrupulously honest, even fastidiously
so, if such thing could be. AS an
illustration of this, [ can relate an
incident ofwhich he told me him
self, though not given to speaking
Of such matters. It was during his
term as Secretary of the Treasury,
that his bankers invested some thou
sands of dollars Of his money in a
stock which rose few months after,
giving profit on the transaction Of
some four thousand dollars. A
check for the amount, nearly a years
salary of a Cabinet officer, was sent
to Mr.. Chase. He returned it to be
destroyed, saying, that while at the
head of the Treasury. and in control
of the national finances, he did not
deem it proper for him to engage in
any transaction affecting in the
slightest degree the condition of the
currency. Such an example is
surely too precious to be lost. His
opportunities for making himself
rich, if the thought of such thing
ever occurred to him, were simply
ilimitable. Intbe immense trans
actions of war times, the great shift
ings of values, he might have enrich
ed himself to the very bounds of
desire without so much as the faint
of suspicion on his garments. Our
public men have not become so pure
that we can afford to dismiss this
example with mere word of common
dation.

A WISE JUDGE.

A certain merchant left in his last
testament seventeen horses to be di-
Vided among his three sons, according
to the following proportions The
first was to receive half, the second
one third, and the youngest one-ninth
part of the whole. But whenS they
came to arrange about the division,it
was found that to comply with the
terms of the will, without sacrificing
one or more of the animals, was inn
possible. Puzzled in the extreme,
they repaired to the Cadi, who hav-
ing read the will, observed that such
difficult question required time for
deliberation, and commanded them to
return after two days. When they
again made their appearance the
Judge said:
II have considered carefully your
case, seventeen horses among you as
will give each more than his strict
share, and yet not one of the animals
shall be injured. Are you content ?"
eve are, Ojudge," was the reply.
'sBring forth the seventeen horses
and LET them be placed in the COURT
said the Cadi.
The animals were brought, and the
judge ordered his groom to place his
own horse with them. He babe the
eldest brother count the horses.
"They are eighteen in number, 0
judge he said.
II will now make the division" OBJ
served the Cadi. "You, the eldest,
are entitled to half; take, then, nine
Of the horses. You, the second son,
are to receive one third take there
fore, six; while to you, the youngest,
belongs the ninth part, namely two.
Thus, the seventeen horses are divid-
ed among you; you have each more
than your share, and I may now take
my own steed back again"
"Mashallah 2, exclaimed the broth
ers with delight. 60, Cadi, your
wisdom equals that Of our lord, Sail
eman Ibn Daoud."

Ifyou have been once beguiled, land

He was conspicuous in later, as
we'll as in early life, for his moral
courage. Toward the close of his
first term as Governor of Ohio, there
were rumors of defalcation in the
State Treasury. 1t was damaging

smaller men would have hushed it

but Mr.. Chase, though a candida e
for reelection. walked to the
Treasurer's Office, took possession of
the establishment, aud instituted an
investigation. The exposure he had
precipitated was his heaviest load to
carry through the ensuing campaign.
Another instance of his high courage
was given also in his candidacy for
Governor. He was nominated by a
combination Of two parties, one Of
them being the Know-Nothing
organization. Instead of concealing
his antagonism to the principles Of a
powerful party which was support
ing him, Mr.. Chase, though stand,
ing on the common platform, re-
pudiated any connection with the
KnoN-Nothing organization, and
denounced unsparingIy the tenet2
of his own adherents. The consequ
ence was that though elected, he rar

IT'S LESSONS TO YOUNG MEN.

AS a boy, he stopped and had al
impediment in his speech, and was
slow in learning; as q young man he
was at first unfortunate and slow L
succeed. Graduating from Dartmouth
at 10, he proceeded to Washington
and lived there for more than a yeal
without any income, running in debt
for his very subsistence. His uncle,
then a Senator Of the United States,
refused TO obtain him a place in the
Treasury; and it is one of the con-
trasts,of history. that the Treasury
clerk who lived in the same house
with young Chase and whose good
fortune naturally excited in him a
desire for similar position, was a
white-haired Treasury clerk still,
when Chase came back as Secretary
TO hold up the hands of war. AS a
lawyer, his prospects were the re-
verse of fattering. He was only
admitted to the Bar on his ex plain
ing that he intended to 90 to
Cincinnati to practice, and there, in

pIetely. Fer some time, the spell
Of ill-success hung over him. Il
used to be one of his amusing stories
that his only fee for long time was
asilver half-dollar which his clienr
returned after a short interval tt
borrow and never repaid. Oyerstudy
overwork, anxiety, and friendlessness
broke down his health. AS he
