THE LOST PURSE.

"A poor little boy was vending his way
through one of the crowded streets of Ban
COR. James Potter was in his twelfth year.
His father was dead, and James lived with
his mother little way out in the country,
He had been to town to get loaf of bread
which he had earned 10y work. The poor
dependence. AS he came opposite Col.
Field s fine house he saw something black
lying in the road He took it up; it felt
quite heavy. "Oh! it's pursel' exclaimed
James. "Now we will be rich" SO he
ran home with great glee As he came
nearer home, he saw dim light burning in
their little unpanted house, which contained
one room only. One bed, on which his
mother was lying, two chairs and an old
chair comprised tn furniture of the apart
ment.
"Well, James" said his mother to him
as he entered, "that bread looks good to
one that is almost starved. What is that
you have got in your other hand ?"
ga purse, mother; found it in the
road" James then emptied it on the table,
and on counting found its contents to be one
hundred and fity-fve dollars.
"See if there is any name on it, James. "
He looked and found written" Frank
Field"
"Ohl how easily he could do without itr'
said james.
eve mustn't take what doesn't belong
to us.
"IIe will never miss. it, mother. The
Fields are the richest people in town.
"That should not hinder us from doing
our duty said his mother.
To his James made no answer, but cut
two slices of bread for his mother and
spread them with nice piece of butter
Mrs Jackson hal sent. After the meal
was over, and as James was preparing for
bed, he said: "Mother, wouldn't keep
this purse for all the world"
81 hope not, James. Yon must take it
back in the morning
The next morning the sun shone brightly
in at the window, and soon awakened Mrs.
Potter and her son. After breakfast James
started for Col. Fields with the purse. He
ran most of the way, and was soon walking
up the graveled path. And there on the
porch was Frank, Col. Fields eldest son.
Good morning, James. You are early
on the ground. ....a

road, last night. didn't know it was yours

didn't know where it was. | suppose

est. Won't you come in"
"No, thank you" replied James, and in
a few moments he was home.
"Mother, he never gave me cent for
il, !" was his first exclamation.
About an hour afterward, as he was going
along the street, he met Col. Field, who
said
Good morning, James Frank has
just been telling me about little 10y by the
name of James Potter" AT this James
laughed. "Oa1 you count and write pretty
well ?"

Veil, come with me-" So James fol-
lowed him into a large grocery. "IIere,
Mr.. Gibson, is just the boy you want. when
your back is turned. He is extremely hon

the purse.

poor James.

PRACTICAL WoMAN's RIdHrs.-A rather
lively scene was enacted in Blue Island
avenue omnibus on Thursday evening. A
couple of rufians persisted il putting huge
clouds of tobacco smoke in the faces of the
ladies in the stage. A gentleman took hold
of the "stub" belonging to one of the fel-
lows and pitched it out of the window.
This was signal for a row, and one of the
roughs half pulled bis shooter from his
breeches pocket. A lively young woman
present, however, went him one better; for,
while he was fumbling about for his pistol,
she cooked and presented neat little re-
volver at his Uranium, politely informing
him that any further demonstrations would
lead to decided unpleasantress. 1t was
enough, and he and his fellow bully very
quickly relieved the startled passengers of
their presence Chicago Tribune.

California abounds with the elements of
profitable occupation, but many branches
must wait for time, money and experience
to show what is ready to pay now. Our
bays, says the Alta, especially that of Mon
terey, abound with eardines, but we have
no olive oil in which to put them up, and
our people are too familiar with the genuine
article to be satisfied with lard oil Even
such simple articles as pickles and catsups
are still imported in large quantities from
England, though we have better vegetables,
vinegars and other materials, than were ev-
er seen in that country. Our climate will,
in time, prove a source of great wealth; it
will enable us to produce IA great variety of
plants which can be grown TO advantage
nowhere else on our continent and for which
there is a worldwide demand. Many mcdi-
cines, dyes, appetizers, and condiments Of
the highest price, demand a soil and sky
like those of Caifornia. a.-toot HiH 1id-

Does the Bible inhibit suicide? Shnk-
speare makes Hamlet exclaim, sob,
that the Almighty had not set his canon
gainst self-slaughter." The word sui
eide, of course, is not in the Bible; and,
if old Cruden was not guilty of tho sin
of omission, the Anglo.Saxon syno-
nyms. aelf-slaughter and self murder are
not there. Samson's immolation made
him heroic to the Jewish mind; Ahab is
nowhere denounced for self-murder,
and even the stalking OFF, of Judas Is
cariot is merely mentioned ns a natural
sequence of q weak act of treachery. OF
course, the decaioguio inhibition of
murder would cover the case, but rot as
an express commandment would have
done. Now, is this omission referrable
to the rarity of suicide among tho Jews,
or did Moses recognize the fact that
suicide may in some cases be commond-
able? Some of the early fathers of the
Christian church Expressed their admira-
ton of suc!Y suicides as those of Aria,
Virginius and Socrates. 1t has been
charged that many of the early fathers
themselves were equivalent suicides,
and hence DIR. Donne's DiathanatoS, is
30 often tortured into defence of sui
eide on general principles rather than
on special cases it was intended to vim.
0lcate.
